I have heard the gossip of many; terror is on every side. When they conspired against me, they plotted to take my life.

A gossip goes around revealing a secret, but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence.

A contrary man spreads conflict, and a gossip separates close friends.

Whoever conceals an offense promotes love, but whoever gossips about it separates friends.

At the same time, they also learn to be idle, going from house to house; they are not only idle, but are also gossips and busybodies, saying things they shouldn’t say.
