LORD, who shall abide in thy
tabernacle? who shall dwell in thy
holy hill? He that walketh
uprightly, and worketh
righteousness, and speaketh the
truth in his heart. He that
backbiteth not with his tongue,
nor doeth evil to his neighbour,
nor taketh up a reproach against
his neighbour.
(Psalm 15:1-3)
Let
the words of my mouth, and the
meditation of my heart, be
acceptable in thy sight, O LORD,
my strength, and my redeemer.
(Psalm 19:14)
Keep
thy tongue from evil, and thy lips
from speaking guile.
(Psalm 34:13)

Bible Quotes |
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.
(Leviticus
19:16)
Help, LORD; for the
godly man ceaseth; for the
faithful fail from among the
children of men. They speak vanity
every one with his neighbour: with
flattering lips and with a double
heart do they speak. Who have said, With our
tongue will we prevail; our lips
are our own: who is lord over us?
(Psalm 12:1,2,4)
The
mouth of the righteous speaketh
wisdom, and his tongue talketh of
judgment.
The law of his God is in his
heart; none of his steps shall
slide.
(Psalm 37:30,31)
The tongue deviseth
mischiefs; like a sharp razor,
working
deceitfully.
(Psalm
52:2)
A talebearer revealeth
secrets: but he that is of a
faithful
spirit concealeth the matter.
(Proverbs
11:13)
A froward man soweth
strife: and a whisperer separateth
chief
friends.
(Proverbs 16:28)
He that goeth about as a
talebearer revealeth secrets:
therefore
meddle not with him that
flattereth with his lips.
(Proverbs
20:19)
The north wind driveth away rain:
so doth an angry countenance a
backbiting tongue.
(Proverbs 25:23)
Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no
talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
As coals are to burning coals,
and wood to fire; so is a
contentious man to kindle strife.
The words of a talebearer are
as wounds, and they go down into
the innermost parts of the belly.
(Proverbs 26:20-22)

witness stand something you
know is false."

sharp arrow."

Gossip
wastes valuable time.
"Yet we hear that some

such people—we command them—to
quiet down, get to work, and earn
their own living."
