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.

My dear brothers and sisters, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger,

I said,“ I will guard my ways so that I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle as long as the wicked are in my presence.”

The one who has knowledge restrains his words, and one who keeps a cool head is a person of understanding.Even a fool is considered wise when he keeps silent— discerning, when he seals his lips.

The beginning of the words from his mouth is folly, but the end of his speaking is evil madness;yet the fool multiplies words. No one knows what will happen, and who can tell anyone what will happen after him?

Just as dreams accompany much labor, so also a fool’s voice comes with many words.
