Proverbs 20:19

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

He revealing a secret going about tale-bearing: and thou shalt not intermingle with him embracing his lips.

See the chapter Copy

He going about tale-bearing reveals a secret: and he being faithful of spirit hides the word.

For such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by specious language and praise completely deceive the hearts of the innocent.

The words of the tale-bearer as dainty morsels, and they will go down to the chambers of the belly.

He guarding his mouth, watched his soul: he opening wide his lips, destruction to him.

Thou shalt not go a slanderer among thy people; thou shalt not stand upon the blood of thy neighbor: I Jehovah.

My son, fear thou Jehovah and the king: thou shalt not intermingle with those changing:

A man of violence will seduce his neighbor, and he caused him to go in a way not good.

Slandering his neighbor in secret, him will I cut off: him being lofty of eyes and broad of heart, with him I will not eat
