A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

Verse 28 is found in chapter 16 of Proverbs. The path that seems right can end in death, so personal perception requires wisdom’s correction. The worker, the perverse person, the gossip, and the violent person appear as examples of how everyday conduct can produce destruction. The chapter ends by affirming that the lot may be cast, but its outcome is under the Lord’s control, reinforcing divine sovereignty over apparently random events.

Ein verkehrter Mensch richtet Hader an, und ein Verleumder macht Freunde uneins.
El hombre perverso levanta contienda; Y el chismoso aparta los mejores amigos.
L'homme pervers excite des querelles, Et le rapporteur divise les amis.
L’uomo perverso commette contese; E chi va sparlando disunisce gli amici
O homem perverso instiga a contenda, e o intrigante separa os maiores amigos.
乖謬的人散播紛爭, 造謠的離間密友。
