you are plotting destruction. Your tongue is like a sharp razor, you worker of treachery.
Rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
A perverse person spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends.
The mouths of fools are their ruin, and their lips a snare to themselves.
You shall not go around as a slanderer among your people, and you shall not profit by the blood of your neighbor: I am the Lord.
