What the Bible says about: Slander

	Then both the men, between whom the controversy is, shall stand before the LORD, before the priests and the judges, which shall be in those days;
	And the judges shall make diligent inquisition: and, behold, if the witness be a false witness, and hath testified falsely against his brother;
	Then shall ye do unto him, as he had thought to have done unto his brother: so shalt thou put the evil away from among you.
