Proverbs 11:13

"He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets; But he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth a matter."

Of all the damaging habits of evil people, that of the gossip and the talebearer must rank very high indeed. "The one who comes to us with tales of others will also reveal our secrets."[13] "Any person who tells secrets about other people can't be trusted. But a person that can be trusted does not spread gossip."[14] As DeHoff said it, "There is no bigger fool than the one who tells everything he knows."[15]
