Proverbs 16:27-29

The Voice

²⁷ Good-for-nothings conjure up evil ideas;
    their conversations fuel destructive fires.
²⁸ Perverse people stir up contention;
    gossip makes best friends into enemies.
²⁹ Violent people try to recruit their neighbors,
    wanting to lead them down the vile path of evil they have chosen.
