The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.
Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people; neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbor: I am the Lord.
