It isn't a biblical quote; it is an old English saying.
The King James Bible doesn't contain the word "gossip."It appears once in the New King James, in 1 Timothy 5:13 - And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not. (In the King James, the word used in this verse is "tattlers.")In the NIV, "gossip" is used seven times; the King James instead uses the words, "talebearer," "whisperer," and "whisperings."
Romans 8:7 & James 4:4
Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
Leave it idle.

The phrase "Idle hands are the devil's workshop" is a proverb that originated in the Bible, specifically in the Book of Proverbs. It is a warning against laziness and the potential for mischief or wrongdoing when one is not actively engaged in productive activities.
What scripture is an idle mind is a devil's workshop?
In the Christian religion, believers exhorted to work, with the apostles going as far as to say that one who does not work must not eat. In addition to the encouragement to work and be self-sufficient, there is a belief that one who does not work ends up being lured into evil. That is the meaning of the saying that idle hands are the devil's workshop.
No, the proverb "An idle brain is the Devil's workshop" is not a declarative sentence. It is a proverbial statement conveying a moral lesson about the consequences of idleness.

Behold, this was the iniquity of thy sister Sodom, pride, fulness of bread, and abundance of idleness was in her and in her daughters, neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.
A mind not working is a devil playground
Proverbs 16:26-27...idle hands are the devil's workshop.
this means that whenever you are not doing anything or sitting idle you always get a devils thought .this means you will like to do something in which you will have fun but this might cause disturbance to others. so you should never keep your mind empty and always keep your self busy to do something productive.
It means that when you have nothing to do (your hands are idle), you are more apt to get into trouble. (do devil's work.) (As opposed to staying busy, whereby you have no time to get into trouble.)
