No, there is no such commandment. Yet Gossip is certainly not a good thing for sure! Proverbs tells us that "A gossip goes around revealing secrets" and later says "Where there is no wood the fire goes out, so where there is no gossip the strife ceases."
Gossip is never successful at keeping a secret. Sure, we like the "rush" of feeling important when we share a secret. Can we learn to have a better feeling when we keep a secret?
Remember, this is not telling someone who needs to know--this is pure gossip that we're talking about. Has there ever been one good thing come from gossip?
Gossip always eventually gets back--to recipients who are placed in compromising and sometimes painful situations because of it. Remember that wisdom comes from being silent.
