¹³ A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

²⁸ A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

⁸ The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

¹⁹ He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

²⁰ Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth.
