I will silence whoever secretly slanders his neighbor. I won't tolerate one who is haughty and conceited.
He who doesn't slander with his tongue, nor does evil to his friend, nor casts slurs against his fellow man;

So are the ways of everyone who is greedy for gain. It takes away the life of its owners.
A false witness will perish, and a man who listens speaks to eternity.
Don't trust in a neighbor. Don't put confidence in a friend. With the woman lying in your embrace, be careful of the words of your mouth!
Woe to them! For they went in the way of Kayin, and ran riotously in the error of Bil`am for hire, and perished in Korach's rebellion.
