Proverbs 10:19

19 When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is prudent.

Proverbs 10:19 In-Context

17 He who heeds instruction is on the path to life, but he who rejects reproof goes astray.
18 He who conceals hatred has lying lips, and he who utters slander is a fool.
19 When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is prudent.
20 The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; the mind of the wicked is of little worth.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of sense.
