Just what is a Backstabber?
Well let us take a look.
It might just be your friend
Secretly calling you a crook.
A Backstabber has no stomach
For combat face to face.
Throwing knives at your back
From a safe hiding place.
A Backstabber works covertly
Sometimes sharing lunch at noon.
Playing word games at the table
Gathering data for your doom.
A deadly enemy out in the open
Will often warrant praise.
But a Backstabber is a coward
And is deserving of our rage.
Have you ever took a stab
At the back of a friend?
Did you know that the Bible
Condemns backstabbing as sin?
Before you throw that next dagger
Take this warning from above
Lest you reap a backstabbing
From someone you love!
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmericiful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are deserving of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.
Romans 1:28-32
