Proverbs 10:19
When words are many, sin is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise.
In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.
In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.
