DAY 84
Avoid One Who Talks Too Much
기원전 10~6세기 편집 (히브리 지혜문학)
ORIGINAL
גּוֹלֶה־סּוֹד הוֹלֵךְ רָכִיל וּלְפֹתֶה שְׂפָתָיו לֹא תִתְעָרָב
📜 THE VERSE
A gossip betrays a confidence; avoid anyone who talks too much.
❓ TODAY'S QUESTION
Am I one to whom a secret can be entrusted, or one who will pass it on?
📝Reflection
Before someone who passes along others' stories with relish, I too will one day become the material. One with a loose mouth is briefly entertaining but hard to trust for long. This verse's caution is not to hate such a person but a practical counsel: do not entrust them a secret. And more important, do not become that mouth yourself. People stay long beside the one whose mouth is heavy.

If someone leaks another's secret today, however juicy, do not spread it further — let it stop with you.
