Ecclesiasticus 19:10

Ecclesiasticus 19:10 Context

⁷Rehearse not unto another that which is told unto thee, and thou shalt fare never the worse. ⁸Whether it be to friend or foe, talk not of other men's lives; and if thou canst without offence, reveal them not. ⁹For he heard and observed thee, and when time cometh he will hate thee. ¹⁰If thou hast heard a word, let it die with thee; and be bold, it will not burst thee. ¹¹A fool travaileth with a word, as a woman in labour of a child. ¹²As an arrow that sticketh in a man's thigh, so is a word within a fool's belly. ¹³Admonish a friend, it may be he hath not done it: and if he have done it, that he do it no more.
