Whisperers
Most-often, references to whispering in the Bible apply to evil behavior:
"Yea, I hear the whispering of many - terror on every side! - as they scheme together against me, as they plot to take my life. But I trust in Thee, O Lord, I say, "Thou art my God." My times are in Thy hand; deliver me from the hand of my enemies and persecutors!" (Psalm 31:13-15 RSV)"All who hate me whisper together about me; they imagine the worst for me." (Psalm 41:7 RSV)
"A worthless man plots evil, and his speech is like a scorching fire. A perverse man spreads strife, and a whisperer separates close friends." (Proverbs 16:27-28 RSV)
"A fool's lips bring strife, and his mouth invites a flogging. A fool's mouth is his ruin, and his lips are a snare to himself. The words of a whisperer are like delicious morsels; they go down into the inner parts of the body." (Proverbs 18:6-8 RSV)
"For lack of wood the fire goes out; and where there is no whisperer, quarreling ceases." (Proverbs 26:20 RSV)
Fact Finder: Although Satan is often portrayed variously as an actual serpent/snake, or as a very evil-looking individual (or as a comic-book character with horns and a pitchfork), what does Satan actually look like?
