聖經經文

“Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird of the air may carry your words, and a bird on the wing may report what you say.” “你不可咒詛君王，也不可心懷此念，在你臥室也不可咒詛富戶，因為空中的鳥必傳揚這聲音；有翅膀的也必述說這事。 ”(傳導書 10:20)

意思

來源及應用

這個說法來自所羅門王后期所著的傳道書，提醒我們要謹慎言語，因為我們所說的話極有可能暗中被人收聽，猶如藉著鴿子通風報信。 “A Little Bird Told Me”也是一首歌的名字。這首歌由Harvey O. Brooks所寫且于1947年面世，在2008年被Head & Shoulders的一個英國商業廣告采用。

例句
