Proverbs 20:19–20

¹³A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

³He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

⁸The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

¹⁸For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

¹⁶¶ Thou shalt not go up and down as a talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the blood of thy neighbour: I am the Lord.

²¹My son, fear thou the Lord and the king: and meddle not with them that are given to change:

²⁹A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.

²⁰Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.

²¹As coals are to burning coals, and wood to fire; so is a contentious man to kindle strife.

²²The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

¹⁷¶ And he that curseth his father, or his mother, shall surely be put to death.

¹¹There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother.

¹⁷The eye that mocketh at his father, and despiseth to obey his mother, the ravens of the valley shall pick it out, and the young eagles shall eat it.

¹⁶Cursed be he that setteth light by his father or his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen.

¹³Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.

⁹¶ For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.

⁴For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.

²⁰For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.

¹²¶ Honour thy father and thy mother: that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

⁸And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.

¹⁸He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

⁵Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.

⁶The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.

¹³Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

⁹The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.

¹⁰For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:

¹¹But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.

¹²And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;

¹³Making the word of God of none effect through your tradition, which ye have delivered: and many such like things do ye.
