You shall not go around as a gossip among your people, and you are not to act against the life of your neighbor [with slander or false testimony]; I am the Lord.



For lack of wood the fire goes out,
And where there is no whisperer [who gossips], contention quiets down.


He who goes about as a gossip reveals secrets,
But he who is trustworthy and faithful keeps a matter hidden.

He who goes about as a gossip reveals secrets;
Therefore do not associate with a gossip [who talks freely or flatters].
