The Scourge of the Tongue
Job 5:21
You shall be hid from the whip of the tongue: neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.


Some folks lay themselves out to be as unpleasant as they can and say disagreeable things. They are the wasps of human intercourse. The candid friends whom Canning so abhorred, the people who "speak their mind," but have a mind that were far better not spoken.

(H. O. Mackey.)
