Sirach 19:8 In-Context

6 And those who are reticent to speak diminish wickedness.

7 Never repeat something that you've heard, and you will not lose anything.

8 Don't report it to a friend or an enemy, and, as long as it wouldn't be a sin for you, don't reveal it.

9 People might hear you or observe you, and in time they will hate you.

10 Have you heard some word? Let it perish along with you. Have courage! It won't make you burst.
