You didn't hear it from me.. ;)

You heard it from the Bible.

Just some helpful verses...enjoy

Some translations translate it as 'whispers or whisperer'. Kinda fitting seeing how that's often how it comes.


Proverbs 11:13 (New International Version, ©2010)

13 A gossip betrays a confidence,
but a trustworthy person keeps a secret.


Proverbs 16:28 (New International Version, ©2010)

28 A perverse person stirs up conflict,
and a gossip separates close friends.

Proverbs 18:8 (New International Version, ©2010)

8 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts.

Proverbs 20:19 (New International Version, ©2010)

19 A gossip betrays a confidence;
so avoid anyone who talks too much.

Proverbs 26:20 (New International Version, ©2010)

20 Without wood a fire goes out;
without a gossip a quarrel dies down.


Proverbs 26:22 (New International Version, ©2010)


22 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels;
they go down to the inmost parts.
 
Interesting scripture correlation here. Seeing gossip can also be called whispering. Here's what Jesus had to say on things said in secret. Kinda gives ME that firm swat up the backside feeling and is a firm reminder..


Luke 12

1 Meanwhile, when a crowd of many thousands had gathered, so that they were trampling on one another, Jesus began to speak first to his disciples, saying: “Be[a] on your guard against the yeast of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. 2 There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. 3 What you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed from the roofs.
