He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

Verse 19 is found in chapter 20 of Proverbs. These proverbs warn against assuming another person’s debts without discernment, obtaining bread through deception, and accepting rumors without verification. Prudence requires asking and examining before acting. False scales appear again as a symbol of fraud, confirming that economic justice is a constant concern in Proverbs. The passage trains the reader to distrust both easy profits and unverified information.

Sei unverworren mit dem, der Heimlichkeit offenbart, und mit dem Verleumder und mit dem falschen Maul.
El que descubre el secreto, en chismes anda: No te entrometas, pues, con el que lisonjea con sus labios.
Quien anda con chismes revela secretos; no te asocies con quien habla sin reserva.
Celui qui répand la calomnie dévoile les secrets; Ne te mêle pas avec celui qui ouvre ses lèvres.
Chi va sparlando palesa il segreto: Non rimescolarti adunque con chi è allettante di labbra
O que anda tagarelando revela o segredo; não te intrometas com o que lisonjeia com os seus lábios.
到處傳話的,洩漏機密; 口無遮攔的,不可與他結交。
