19 When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.
19 Sin is not ended by multiplying words, but the prudent hold their tongues.
20 The tongue of the righteous is choice silver; the heart of the wicked is of little worth.
20 The tongue of the righteous is choice silver, but the heart of the wicked is of little value.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many, but fools die for lack of sense.
