Bible Verses About Slander: Punishment for

`When a violent witness doth rise against a man, to testify against him apostasy,

then have both the men who have the strife stood before Jehovah, before the priests and the judges who are in those days,

and the judges have searched diligently, and lo, the witness is a false witness, a falsehood he hath testified against his brother:

`Then ye have done to him as he devised to do to his brother, and thou hast put away the evil thing out of thy midst,

and those who are left do hear and fear, and add not to do any more according to this evil thing in thy midst;

and thine eye doth not pity--life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot.

Whoso slandereth in secret his neighbour, Him I cut off, The high of eyes and proud of heart, him I endure not.
