13 A gossip betrays a confidence, but a trustworthy person keeps a secret.
13 Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets, but he who is trustworthy in spirit keeps a thing covered.
13 A gadabout gossip can't be trusted with a secret, but someone of integrity won't violate a confidence.
13 A talebearer reveals secrets, But he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter.
13 A gossip goes around telling secrets, but those who are trustworthy can keep a confidence.
(Read Proverbs 11:13)
A faithful man will not disclose what he is trusted with, unless the honour of God and the real good of society require it.

Commentary on Proverbs 10:14
(Read Proverbs 10:14)
Whatever knowledge may be useful, we must lay it up, that it may not be to seek when we want it. The wise gain this wisdom by reading, by hearing the word, by meditation, by prayer, by faith in Christ, who is made of God unto us wisdom.
