Sin is not ended by multiplying words, but the prudent hold their tongues.

Sin is not ended by using many words. But those who are wise control their tongues.

When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.

Too much talk leads to sin. Be sensible and keep your mouth shut.

When there are many words, sin is unavoidable, but the one who controls his lips is prudent.

When there are many words, wrongdoing is unavoidable, But one who restrains his lips is wise.

In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise.

In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.

因為我們在許多方面難免有過失。如果誰在言語上沒有過失，他就是純全的人，也能在各方面保持自制。

我親愛的弟兄姊妹，請記住：每個人都要快快地聽，慢慢地說，慢慢地動怒。

我說：「我要謹言慎行，免犯口舌之罪。只要身邊有惡人，我就用嚼環勒住自己的口。」

謹言慎行的有知識，溫和冷靜的有悟性。愚人緘默可算為智慧，閉口不言可算為明智。

愚人開口是愚昧，閉口是邪惡狂妄。愚人高談闊論，其實無人知道將來的事，人死後，誰能告訴他世間的事呢？

事務繁雜，夜裡多夢；多言多語，顯出愚昧。
