  1. Do not rely on a friend; do not trust in a companion. Seal the doors of your mouth from her who lies in your arms. For a son dishonors his father, a daughter rises against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man’s enemies are the members of his own household.

  2. A hateful man disguises himself with his speech, but he lays up deceit in his heart. When he speaks graciously, do not believe him, for seven abominations fill his heart.

  3. They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and a double heart. May the LORD cut off all flattering lips and every boastful tongue.

  4. You must not go about spreading slander among your people. You must not endanger the life of your neighbor. I am the LORD.

  5. The one who conceals hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool.

  6. Like a club or sword or sharp arrow is a man who bears false witness against his neighbor.

  7. All are hardened rebels, walking around as slanderers. They are bronze and iron; all of them are corrupt.

  8. Psalm 15:34 votes

    who has no slander on his tongue, who does no harm to his neighbor, who casts no scorn on his friend,

  9. There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to Him:

  10. Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child; children will rise against their parents and have them put to death.

  11. Even your brothers—your own father’s household—even they have betrayed you; even they have cried aloud against you. Do not trust them, though they speak well of you.
