6 Bible Verses about Gossip - ESV
English Standard Version (ESV)
Translation
A dishonest man spreads strife,
and a whisperer separates close friends.
He who walks blamelessly and does what is right
and speaks truth in his heart;
who does not slander with his tongue
and does no evil to his neighbor,
nor takes up a reproach against his friend.
Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets,
but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.
The one who conceals hatred has lying lips,
and whoever utters slander is a fool.
Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
With his mouth the godless man would destroy his neighbor,
but by knowledge the righteous are delivered.
