Luke 12:3

Contemporary English Version (Anglicised) 2012

Whatever you say in the dark will be heard when it is day. Whatever you whisper in a closed room will be shouted from the housetops.

See the chapter Copy

Don't even think about cursing the king; don't curse the rich, not even in secret. A little bird might hear and tell everything.

Whatever I say to you in the dark, you must tell in the light. And you must announce from the housetops whatever I have whispered to you.

I promise you that on the day of judgment, everyone will have to account for every careless word they have spoken.

If you are on the roof of your house, don't go inside to get anything.
