'Slander' in the Bible

He does not slander with his tongue,Nor does evil to his neighbor,Nor takes up a reproach against his friend;

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.

But in my stumbling they rejoiced and gathered together [against me];The slanderers whom I did not know gathered against me;They slandered and reviled me without ceasing.

“You sit and speak against your brother;You slander your own mother’s son.

Look how they belch out [insults] with their mouths;Swords [of sarcasm, ridicule, slander, and lies] are in their lips,For they say, “Who hears us?”

He who hides hatred has lying lips,And he who spreads slander is a fool.

They are all the worst [kind] of [stiff-necked, godless] rebels,Going around spreading slander.They are [not gold and silver ore, but] bronze and iron;They are all corrupt.
