Thematic Bible: Talebearers
Thematic Bible
Speech/communication » Talebearers
A talebearer reveals secrets, but he that is of a faithful spirit conceals the matter.
The words of a talebearer seem smooth, but they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
He that goes about as a talebearer reveals secrets; therefore meddle not with him that flatters with his lips.
Where there is no wood, the fire goes out, so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceases. Charcoal for burning coals and wood for fire, and a contentious man to kindle strife. The words of a talebearer seem smooth, but they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.
