Bible Commentary

Proverbs 25:9

The wise course in conflict is direct, private dialogue — not gossip, not dragging in others, not weaponising private knowledge. Sharing someone's secret to gain an advantage is a serious breach of trust.

Memory phrase: Talk directly. Keep secrets safe.

Talk about it: Why is it wrong to share someone's private secret to win an argument?

Prayer: God, help me settle problems privately and never use secrets as weapons.
