Thoughtless words can wound as deeply as any sword, but wisely spoken words can heal.

Gossip is spread by wicked people; they stir up trouble and break up friendships.

Without wood, a fire goes out; without gossip, quarreling stops.

Gossip is so tasty! How we love to swallow it!

Do not spread lies about anyone, and when someone is on trial for his life, speak out if your testimony can help him. I am the LORD.

You make plans to ruin others; your tongue is like a sharp razor. You are always inventing lies.

They sharpen their tongues like swords and aim cruel words like arrows.

They are quick to spread their shameless lies; they destroy good people with cowardly slander.
