Ecclesiastes 10:20
The Message
Ecclesiastes 10:20
The Message
20 Don’t bad-mouth your leaders, not even under your breath,
And don’t abuse your betters, even in the privacy of your home.
Loose talk has a way of getting picked up and spread around.
Little birds drop the crumbs of your gossip far and wide.
Ecclesiastes 10:20
New International Version
Ecclesiastes 10:20
New International Version
20 Do not revile the king(A) even in your thoughts,
or curse the rich in your bedroom,
because a bird in the sky may carry your words,
and a bird on the wing may report what you say.
