The idle are. 2 The. 3:11. 1 Tim. 5:13¹³And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. (1 Timothy 5:13).

Are mischievous tale-bearers. 1 Tim. 5:13¹³And withal they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house; and not only idle, but tattlers also and busybodies, speaking things which they ought not. (1 Timothy 5:13).

Bring mischief upon themselves. 2 Kin. 14:10. Pro. 26:17¹⁷He that passeth by, and meddleth with strife belonging not to him, is like one that taketh a dog by the ears. (Proverbs 26:17).

Christians must not be. 1 Pet. 4:15¹⁵But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. (1 Peter 4:15).
