Friends


I've been reading in Proverbs the last while, and there are a number of verses repeated over and over throughout the book. The few I will quote here is about honesty and trustworthiness in friendship.

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

A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer seperateth chief friends. Prov. 16:28

He that covereth a transgression seeketh love, but he that repeateth a matter seperateth very friends. Prov. 17:9

Poor Solomon, he really must have known what it was like to be betrayed by friends. It's sad. Gossip is such a sad thing, and yet so many people sometimes unknowingly spread it around.
