Proverbs 10:19-21

New American Standard Bible 1995

¹⁹ When there are ^(A)many words, transgression is unavoidable,
But ^(B)he who restrains his lips is wise.
²⁰ The tongue of the righteous is as ^(C)choice silver,
The heart of the wicked is worth little.
²¹ The ^(D)lips of the righteous feed many,
But fools ^(E)die for lack of ^[a]understanding.
