A perverse man spreads dissension, and a gossip divides close friends.

Context

26A worker’s appetite works for him because his hunger drives him onward. 27A worthless man digs up evil, and his speech * is like a scorching fire. 28A perverse man spreads dissension, and a gossip divides close friends. 29A violent man entices his neighbor and leads him down a path that is not good. 30He who winks his eye devises perversity; he who purses his lips is bent on evil.
