Words of Talebearer

Words of Talebearer

The words of a talebearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly (Proverbs 18:8).

Talebearer is one who spreads a gossip or a rumour or secrets that may cause trouble or harm. One who spreads secrets of another person with a view to harming the reputation of the latter is a talebearer even if such secrets are truthful. However, one who speaks the truth and spread it so as to expose falsehood of the wicked is not a talebearer.
