Ben Sira 19:8 In-Context

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.

10 Have you heard a word? Let it die with you. Be brave! It will not make you burst!
