 Proverbs chapter 29:8

If you have an issue with someone, take it to God and ask Him to intervene on your behalf and do what the Holy Spirit in your heart prompts you to do. 

Forgive and bless the other person and then move on. If the other person continues the insults and backbiting towards you, walk away and allow God's  justice to be applied to that situation.

It may not happen right away, buy God's timing is perfect and it will have a huge impact on the life of the person who is trying to hurt you.
