A revealer of a secret walks about as a gossip, so do not meddle with him who opens his lips.
Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, I will cut him off; I will not endure him who has high eyes and a proud heart.
One going with slander is a revealer of secrets, but the faithful of spirit keeps a matter hidden.
He who guards his mouth keeps his life; he who opens his lips wide, ruin is to him.
A man of violence lures his neighbor, and causes him to go in a way that is not good.
The words of a slanderer are greedily swallowed; yea, they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
My son, fear Jehovah and the king; do not meddle with those who change,
You shall not go as a slanderer among your people; you shall not stand up against the blood of your neighbor; I am Jehovah.
For such ones do not serve our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly, and by smooth speech and fine speeches they deceive the hearts of the ones without guile.
