NET Notes

¹tn Heb “going about in slander.” This expression refers to a slanderer. The noun means “slander” and so “tale-bearer” (so KJV, ASV, NASB), “informer.” The related verb (רָכַל, rakhal) means “to go about” from one person to another, either for trade or for gossip.

²tn The participle מְגַלֶּה (mÿgaleh) means “uncovering” or “revealing” secrets.

²sn This is the intent of a person who makes disparaging comments about others – he cannot wait to share secrets that should be kept.

³tn Heb “faithful of spirit.” This phrase describes the inner nature of the person as faithful and trustworthy. This individual will not rush out to tell whatever information he has heard, but will conceal it.
