27 A worthless man digs up evil , While his words are like scorching fire . 28 A perverse man spreads strife , And a slanderer separates intimate friends .
Ungodly men bestow more pains to do mischief than would be needful to do good. The whisperer separates friends: what a hateful, but how common a character!
