Thematic Bible
Evil » Speech evil speaking » Talebearers condemned
Do not go about saying untrue things among your people, or take away the life of your neighbour by false witness: I am the Lord.
He who keeps a sin covered is looking for love; but he who keeps on talking of a thing makes division between friends.
Without wood, the fire goes out; and where there is no secret talk, argument is ended.
He who goes about talking of others makes secrets public, but the true-hearted man keeps things covered.
The words of one who says evil of his neighbour secretly are like sweet food, and go down into the inner parts of the stomach.
He who goes about talking of the business of others gives away secrets: so have nothing to do with him whose lips are open wide.
