Proverbs 20:19–20

19 A gossip betrays a confidence;

so avoid anyone who talks too much.

20 If someone curses their father or mother,

their lamp will be snuffed out in pitch darkness.

19 Whoever goes about slandering reveals secrets;

therefore do not associate with a simple babbler.

20 If one curses his father or his mother,

his lamp will be put out in utter darkness.

19 He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets:

Therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother,

His lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.

19 A gossip goes around telling secrets,

so don’t hang around with chatterers.

20 If you insult your father or mother,

your light will be snuffed out in total darkness.

19 Gossips can’t keep secrets,

so avoid people who talk too much.

20 Those who curse their father or mother

will be like a light going out in darkness.

19 He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets;

Therefore company not with him that openeth wide his lips.

20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother,

His lamp shall be put out in blackness of darkness.

19 He that goeth about talebearing revealeth secrets; therefore meddle not with him that openeth his lips.

20 Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in the blackest darkness.

19 Whoever goes around as a gossip tells secrets. 

Do not associate with a person whose mouth is always open. 

20 The lamp of the person who curses his father and mother 

will be snuffed out in total darkness.

19 The one who reveals secrets is a constant gossip;

avoid someone with a big mouth.

20 Whoever curses his father or mother —

his lamp will go out in deep darkness.

19 A gossip reveals secrets;

therefore do not associate with a babbler.

and do not associate with a babbler’s lips.

20 He who curses his father and his mother,

his lamp will be extinguished in the midst of darkness.

Therefore do not associate with a gossip.
