The King James Version Bible

Wisdom of Solomon 1:9-11

  1. For inquisition shall be made into the counsels of the ungodly: and the sound of his words shall come unto the Lord for the manifestation of his wicked deeds.

  2. For the ear of jealousy heareth all things: and the noise of murmurings is not hid.

  3. Therefore beware of murmuring, which is unprofitable; and refrain your tongue from backbiting: for there is no word so secret, that shall go for nought: and the mouth that belieth slayeth the soul.
