Proverbs 10:19-21

Holman Christian Standard Bible

¹⁹ When there are many words, sin is unavoidable,
but the one who controls his lips is wise.^(A)

²⁰ The tongue of the righteous is pure silver;
the heart of the wicked is of little value.^(B)

²¹ The lips of the righteous feed many,
but fools die for lack of sense.^(C)
