Now H6258 therefore, I pray H4994 you, let my lord H113 the king H4428 hear H8085 the words H1697 of his servant. H5650 If H518 the LORD H3068 have stirred H5496 you up against me, let him accept H7306 an offering: H4503 but if H518 they be the children H1121 of men, H120 cursed H779 be they before H6440 the LORD; H3068 for they have driven H1644 me out this day H3117 from abiding H5596 in the inheritance H5159 of the LORD, H3068 saying, H559 Go, H3212 serve H5647 other H312 gods. H430

You shall not go H3212 up and down as a talebearer H7400 among your people: H5971 neither H3808 shall you stand H5975 against H5921 the blood H1818 of your neighbor; H7453 I am the LORD. H3068

Whoever privately H5643 slanders H3960 his neighbor, H7453 him will I cut H6789 off: him that has an high H1362 look H5869 and a proud H7342 heart H3824 will not I suffer. H3201

When their judges H8199 are overthrown H8058 in stony H5553 places, H3027 they shall hear H8085 my words; H561 for they are sweet. H5276

A fraudulent H8419 man H376 sows H7971 strife: H4066 and a whisperer H5372 separates H6504 chief H441 friends. H441

A wicked H7489 doer gives heed H7181 to false H205 lips; H8193 and a liar H8267 gives ear H238 to a naughty H1942 tongue. H3956

The words H1697 of a talebearer H5372 are as wounds, H3859 and they go H3381 down H3381 into the innermost H2315 parts of the belly. H990

The north H6828 wind H7307 drives H2342 away rain: H1653 so H3651 does an angry H2194 countenance H6440 a backbiting H5643 tongue. H3956

Where H657 no H657 wood H6086 is, there the fire H784 goes H3518 out: so where there is no H369 talebearer, H5372 the strife H4066 ceases. H8367

The words H1697 of a talebearer H5372 are as wounds, H3859 and they go H3381 down H3381 into the innermost H2315 parts of the belly. H990

If a ruler H4910 listen H7181 to lies, H1697 H8267 all H3605 his servants H8334 are wicked. H7563

Also H1571 take H5414 no H408 heed H5414 H3820 to all H3605 words H1697 that are spoken; H1696 lest H634 H3808 you hear H8085 your servant H5650 curse H7043 you:

For oftentimes H6471 H7227 also H1571 your own heart H3820 knows H3045 that you yourself H859 likewise H1571 have cursed H7043 others. H312

And the tongue G1100 is a fire, G4442 a world G2889 of iniquity: G93 so G3779 is the tongue G1100 among G1722 our members, G3196 that it defiles G4695 the whole G3650 body, G4983 and sets G5394 on fire G5394 the course G5164 of nature; G1078 and it is set G5394 on fire G5394 of hell. G1067
