26 Fools say whatever is on their minds, but the wise remain mindful of what they say.

Sirach 21:26 In-Context

24 Ignorance causes people to listen through a door, but the prudent will be distressed at the dishonor of doing so.

25 The lips of strangers will report these things, but the words of the prudent will be placed on a balance.

26 Fools say whatever is on their minds, but the wise remain mindful of what they say.

27 When the ungodly curse their enemies, they curse themselves.

28 Those who whisper stain themselves, and they will be hated by their neighbors.
