Thematic Bible: Talebearers
Thematic Bible
Speech/communication » Talebearers
He who goes around as a tale-bearer reveals secrets, but he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter.
The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts.
He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets. Therefore do not associate with him who opens wide his lips.
For lack of wood the fire goes out, and where there is no whisperer, contention ceases. [As] coals are to hot embers, and wood to fire, so is a contentious man to inflame strife. The words of a whisperer are as dainty morsels, and they go down into the innermost parts.
