The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the being.
He that goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flatters with his lips.
In you are men who tell tales to shed blood: and in you they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of you they commit lewdness.
You shall not go up and down as a talebearer among your people: neither shall you be hostile to the blood of your neighbor: I am the LORD.
