The talebearer reveals s secret <br />About brethren in the Lord <br />But he that is of a faithful spirit <br />Pays heed unto 'God's Word' <br /> <br />Which tells, 'he that covers a transgression, <br />seeks love and makes amends, <br />but he that repeats a matter <br />seperates the closest of friends.' <br /> <br />The words of the talebearer <br />Are as wounds unto the soul; <br />The tongue of the whisperer is evil <br />Their spirit is not whole. <br /> <br />But the talebearer is defeated <br />By the one who trusts the Lord; <br />In a pavilion from the strife of tongues <br />God will hide him, by the Spirit's Sword! <br /> <br />Proverbs 11: 13; 17: 9; 18: 8; Psalm 31: 19,20<br /><br />Richard Merrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-talebearer/
