Psalms 140:11

Let not an evil speaker be established - לשון איש ish lashon , "a man of tongue." There is much force in the rendering of this clause in the Chaldee תליתי לישן דמשתעי גבר gebar demishtai lishan telithai , "The man of detraction, or inflammation, with the three-forked tongue." He whose tongue is set on fire from hell; the tale-bearer, slanderer, and dealer in scandal: with the three-forked tongue; wounding three at once: his neiphbour whom he slanders; the person who receives the slander; and himself who deals in it. What a just description of a character which God, angels, and good men must detest! Let not such a one be established in the land; let him be unmasked; let no person trust him; and let all join together to hoot him out of society. "He shall be hunted by the angel of death, and thrust into hell." - Chaldee.
