¹⁹ He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

¹³ A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

¹⁸ For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

⁸ The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

³ He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

²¹ My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

¹⁶ Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour; I am the Lord.

²⁰ Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

²¹ As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.

²² The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

²⁹ A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
