Will those who backbite thrive at all? They will not — they only earn empty ridicule.
புறம்பேசுவோர் வாழ்வரோ? வாழமாட்டார்; வெற்று நகைப்பை மட்டுமே பெறுவர்.
Backbiters do not thrive — they earn only the empty ridicule of those around them. The promise of backbiting (social elevation by putting others down) never delivers. It only creates contempt from observers.
