Proverbs 20:19
The one who reveals secrets is a constant gossip avoid someone with a big mouth.
Our mouth is the most uncontrolled organ in our body. How accurately the Bible focusses on this otherwise unconsidered organ. We have sessions and whole medical departments dedicated to all the other organs in the body, but nothing for the mouth. With it we bless, with it we curse. It speaks what the heart is full of, which is often most uncomplimentary to the speaker without us even realizing that we are shamelessly baring our soul to bewildered hearers. “Stop talking” is good advice, rarely heeded.
