'Defaming' in the Bible

For I have heard the whispering and defaming words of many,“Terror on every side!Denounce him! Let us denounce him!”All my familiar and trusted friends,[Those who are] watching for my fall, say,“Perhaps he will be persuaded and deceived; then we will overcome him,And take our revenge on him.”

amid glory and dishonor; by evil report and good report; branded as deceivers and yet [vindicated as] truthful;

whereas even angels who are superior in might and power do not bring a reviling (defaming) accusation against them before the Lord.
