Ben Sira 19:7

7 Never repeat a conversation, and you will lose nothing at all.

Ben Sira 19:7 In-Context

5 One who rejoices in wickedness will be condemned,
6 and for one who hates gossip evil is lessened.
7 Never repeat a conversation, and you will lose nothing at all.
8 With friend or foe do not report it, and unless it would be a sin for you, do not disclose it;
9 for some one has heard you and watched you, and when the time comes he will hate you.
