Scandal Monger


Proverbs 11:13  A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

The talebearer. Strong defines the Hebrew word râkı̂yl as “a scandal monger” and that, my friends, wins the definition of the day.

That is exactly was a talebearer is - a scandal monger. He is a purveyor of confidence, a seller of secrets, and dealer of confidence. And we like it, except when it is about us -- and then of course, it is awful, just awful. How dare he spread MY secrets. 

WARNING: the next tale the talebearer tells may bear your secret tale. 

Selah.
