Sirach 19: 4-30
He who is too quick to trust others reveals a shallow mind, whoever sins injures himself.
5 One who reveals in pleasure will be condemned, 6 hating gossip will save one from evil.
7Never repeat what you are told and you will come to no harm.
8Report nothing to friend or foe and, unless silence is sinful, reveal it to no one. 9They will listen, distrust you and you will end up being hated.
