Psalms 120:4
Sharp arrows of the mighty, with coals of juniper.
120:4. Sharp arrows of the mighty. Swift, sure, and sharp will be the judgment. Nor will one form of judgment suffice to avenge this complicated sin. The slanderer will feel woes comparable to coals of juniper, which are quick in flaming, fierce in blazing, and long in burning. Juniper coals long retain their heat, but hell burneth ever, and the deceitful tongue may not deceive itself with the hope of escape from the fire which it has kindled. What a crime is this to which the Almighty allots a doom so dreadful! Let us hate it with perfect hatred. It is better to be the victim of slander than to be the author of it. The shafts of calumny will miss the mark, but not so the arrows of God: the coals of malice will cool, but not the fire of justice. Shun slander as you would avoid hell.
