Nehemiah 6:17-19

17 Moreover, in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters to Tobiah, and Tobiah’s letters came to them. 18 For many in Judah were bound by oath to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of ^aArah: and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of ^bMeshullam the son of Berechiah as his wife. 19 Also they spoke of his good deeds in my presence and reported my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to make me afraid.

Proverbs 25:9

9 ^cArgue your case with your neighbor himself,
and do not reveal another’s secret,

Proverbs 26:20-22

20 For lack of wood the fire goes out,
and where there is no ^dwhisperer, ^equarreling ceases.
21 As charcoal to hot embers and wood to fire,
so is ^fa quarrelsome man for kindling strife.
22 ^gThe words of ^ha whisperer are like delicious morsels;
they go down into the inner parts of the body.
