Proverbs 16:27-29
American Standard Version

27 A worthless man [a]deviseth mischief;
And in his lips there is as a scorching fire.
28 A perverse man scattereth abroad strife;
And a whisperer [b]separateth chief friends.
29 A man of violence enticeth his neighbor,
And leadeth him in a way that is not good.
