Stop Oversharing

The Bible doesn't explicitly address oversharing in a modern context, but it does offer guidance on discretion, humility, and guarding one's speech. 


"Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent." - Proverbs 17:28 

Proverbs 10:19 advises, "When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent." 

Similarly, Proverbs 17:28 notes, "Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent." 

These verses suggest the importance of thoughtful communication and avoiding unnecessary disclosure that may lead to harm or transgression.


Proverbs 13:3 emphasizes the impact of speech, stating, "Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin." 
This verse underscores the idea that exercising caution in speech contributes to the preservation of one's well-being and relationships.


James 3:5-6, in the New Testament, provides insight into the power of words: “So also, the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things. How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness.” 
This passage highlights the potential destructive force of words and the need for vigilance in speech.


In summary, these verses emphasize the biblical wisdom of guarding one’s speech to avoid harm, preserve relationships, and uphold righteousness.

While these verses may not directly use the term “oversharing,” they convey the message of being mindful of the words we speak and recognizing the significance of  self-control in communication.
