'Slanderer' in the Bible

A perverse man spreads strife,And a slanderer separates intimate friends.

He who goes about as a slanderer reveals secrets,Therefore do not associate with a gossip.

The words of a whisperer (gossip) are like dainty morsels [to be greedily eaten];They go down into the innermost chambers of the body [to be remembered and mused upon].
