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.

⁹ He that covereth a transgression seeketh love;
    but he that repeateth a matter separateth very 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.
