¹⁹ In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.

² For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.

¹⁹ Ye know `this', my beloved brethren. But let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

¹ I said, I will take heed to my ways, That I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, While the wicked is before me.

³ For a dream cometh with a multitude of business, and a fool's voice with a multitude of words.

²⁷ He that spareth his words hath knowledge; And he that is of a cool spirit is a man of understanding.

²⁸ Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise; When he shutteth his lips, he is `esteemed as' prudent.

¹³ The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

¹⁴ A fool also multiplieth words: `yet' man knoweth not what shall be; and that which shall be after him, who can tell him?
