Verse 13
And withal they learn to be idle - They do not love work, and they will not work.
Wandering about from house to house - Gadding, gossiping; never contented with home; always visiting.
And not only idle - If it went no farther, this would be intolerable; but they are tattlers - tale-bearers; whisperers; light, trifling persons; all noise and no work.
Busybodies - Persons who meddle with the concerns of others; who mind every one's business but their own.
Speaking things which they ought not - Lies, slanders, calumnies; backbiting their neighbors, and everywhere sowing the seed of dissension.
