Proverbs 10:19-21

New International Reader's Version

¹⁹ Sin is not ended by using many words.
    But those who are wise control their tongues.

²⁰ The tongues of those who do right are like fine silver.
    But the hearts of those who do wrong aren’t worth very much.

²¹ The words of those who do right benefit many people.
    But those who are foolish die because they have no sense.
