'Malicious' in the Bible
“You shall not bear a false report; do not join your hand with a wicked man to be a malicious witness.
If a malicious witness rises up against a man to accuse him of wrongdoing,
Malicious witnesses rise up;They ask me of things that I do not know.
Women must likewise be dignified, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things.
unloving, irreconcilable, malicious gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,
