Ecclesiastes / Question
Question source
Ecclesiastes
Ecclesiastes cautions against cursing a king or the rich “in thy thought” because “a bird of the air shall carry the voice” (Ecclesiastes 10:20). The point is that speech can travel unexpectedly and return consequences even when said privately (Ecclesiastes 10:20).
20Don`t revile the king, no, not in your thoughts; And don`t revile the rich in your bedchamber: For a bird of the sky may carry your voice, And that which has wings may tell the matter.
