Simple Babbler...

“Simple Babbler”
Blessings folk!
Another proverbial truth…
Pro 20:19
Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets;
therefore do not associate with a simple babbler.
What is the problem?
The slanderer.
The one who speaks against another.
The gossip.
The liar.
The revealer of secrets.
What are we to do?
Do not associate with such a one…the simple babbler.
We have already seen much about the babbling slander in the Proverbs.
Hear from the New Testament…
Rom 16:18
For such persons do not serve our Lord Christ,
but their own appetites,
and by smooth talk and flattery they deceive the hearts of the naive.
ESV
Again, do not associate with such.
Many are the professing Believer who slanders and gossips.
Do not be one.
Pro 20:19
A gossip goes around telling secrets,
so don’t hang around with chatterers.
