Good News Translation
Don't get a reputation for being a gossip, and don't tell tales that will hurt people. Just as robbers will suffer disgrace, so liars will suffer severe condemnation.

New Revised Standard Version
Do not be called double-tongued and do not lay traps with your tongue; for shame comes to the thief, and severe condemnation to the double-tongued.

Contemporary English Version
When you speak, don't tear others down or try to make them say something wrong. You would receive severe punishment, far worse than the shame felt by thieves.

New American Bible
Do not be called double-tongued; and with your tongue do not slander a neighbor. For shame has been created for the thief, and sore disgrace for the double-tongued.
