Advising Gossip
13
A gossip goes around telling secrets,
but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence.
14
Without wise leadership, a nation falls;
there is safety in having many advisers.
Verse 13
This verse is also about silence. We must think before we speak. Christian leaders often hear other people’s secrets. People should be able to trust their church leaders. The church leader should not tell someone’s secret to another person.
Verse 14
Ordinary people need advice. Church leaders need advice. The leaders of cities need advice (verses 10-11). Even entire nations need advice.
Good and bad words affect the lives of ordinary people. But good and bad words can also affect whole nations.
The wise person is not afraid to ask for advice. Sometimes, we need to ask many advisers before we receive the best advice.
Gossip is often dismissed as innocuous, yet it entails betraying confidences, an act deemed sinful by divine standards. Such breaches disrupt the harmony of Creation. Proverbs extols the virtue of trustworthiness and discretion.
Both individually and collectively, our success hinges on decision-making guided by sagacious counsel rather than demagoguery. While fabricated narratives may captivate, genuine achievement requires the guidance of wise advisors.
Upright and righteous individuals must vocally oppose the pervasive dissemination of salacious distortions on the internet.
Let me ask you: Are you a person of integrity, preserving confidences, or do you succumb to gossip?
