Proverbs 10:19-21
International Standard Version
19 Transgression is at work where people talk too much,
but anyone who holds his tongue is prudent.
20 What the righteous person says[a] is like precious silver;
the thoughts of the wicked are compared to small things.
21 What the righteous person says[b] nourishes many,
but fools die because they lack discerning[c] hearts.
