Evil » Slander » General references to
Whoever secretly slanders his neighbor, him I will silence;
The one who has a haughty look and a proud (arrogant) heart I will not tolerate.
“Let everyone beware of his neighbor
And do not trust any brother.
For every brother is a supplanter [like Jacob, a deceiver, ready to grab his brother’s heel],
And every neighbor goes around as a slanderer.
For I have heard the slander and whispering of many,
Terror is on every side;
While they schemed together against me,
They plotted to take away my life.
He who hides hatred has lying lips,
And he who spreads slander is a fool.
With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor,
But through knowledge and discernment the righteous will be rescued.
