³ He that backbiteth not with his tongue, nor doeth evil to his neighbour, nor taketh up a reproach against his neighbour.

¹³ For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

⁶ And if he come to see me, he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he telleth it.

⁵ Whoso privily slandereth his neighbour, him will I cut off: him that hath an high look and a proud heart will not I suffer.

²⁸ They are all grievous revolters, walking with slanders: they are brass and iron; they are all corrupters.
