¹³ He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; But he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter.

¹⁸ For they that are such serve not our Lord Christ, but their own belly; and by their smooth and fair speech they beguile the hearts of the innocent.

²¹ My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king; `And' company not with them that are given to change:

²⁰ For lack of wood the fire goeth out; And where there is no whisperer, contention ceaseth.

²¹ `As' coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, So is a contentious man to inflame strife.

²² The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, And they go down into the innermost parts.
