Back to passage

Thou shalt not go vp and downe with tales among thy people, neither shalt thou stande agaynst the blood of thy neighbour: I am the Lorde.

And if thou vtter these our wordes, we wilbe quite of thy oth which thou hast made vs sweare.

Where much babblyng is, there must needes be offence: and he that refrayneth his lippes, is wyse.

The craftie deceiptfull bewrayeth secrete counsayle: therefore meddle not with hym that flattereth with his lips.

Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: euen so where the talebearer is taken away, there the strife ceasseth.

They learne to wander about from house to house idle: yea not idle only, but also tatlers and busybodies, speakyng thynges which are not comely.
