19 When there are (A)many words, wrongdoing is unavoidable,But (B)one who restrains his lips is wise.
23 A (A)prudent person conceals knowledge,But the heart of fools proclaims foolishness.
3 One who (A)guards his mouth protects his life;One who (B)opens wide his lips [a]comes to ruin.
28 Even a fool, when he (A)keeps silent, is considered wise;When he closes his lips, he is considered prudent.
13 One who (A)gives an answer before he hears,It is foolishness and shame to him.
23 One who (A)guards his mouth and his tongue,Guards his soul from troubles.
