'Matter' in the Bible

A busybody is revealing secret counsel, And the faithful of spirit is covering the matter.

The wise in any matter findeth good, And whoso is trusting in Jehovah, O his happiness.

Whoso is covering transgression is seeking love, And whoso is repeating a matter Is separating a familiar friend.

Whoso is answering a matter before he heareth, Folly it is to him and shame.

The honour of God is to hide a thing, And the honour of kings to search out a matter.
