Psalm 101:5 (NIV): "Whoever slanders their neighbor in secret, I will put to silence; whoever has haughty eyes and a proud heart, I will not tolerate." James 4:11 (ESV): "Do not speak evil against one another, brothers. The one who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks evil against the law and judges the law. But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge." 1 Peter 2:1 (NIV): "Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind."
