Breakfast with Solomon - Proverbs 26:20

The Hebrew word is ragan which means to murmur or whisper, to say under one's breath, to speak quietly. It can easily be extended to mean those who start rumors, who keep slander and gossip going.

Breakfast with Solomon - Proverbs 20:9
Proverbs 20:9 "Who can say, "I have cleansed my heart, I am pure from my sin”?" There are four ideas that could be implied here: One, that it is impossible to ever completely cleanse yourself after you have committed acts of selfishness and sin.
