27 A worthless man is preparing evil, And on his lips—as a burning fire. 28 A froward man sendeth forth contention, A tale-bearer is separating a familiar friend.
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!
