Whoever slanders his neighbor secretly I will destroy.
Slander—to malign, vilify, revile. Lord, that it would not be be that engages to slander my neighbor. This is not loving my neighbor as You have instructed. To knowingly be a party to such actions is the same as being the active agent. Lord, keep me from either actively or passively spreading slander and gossip against another person.
