^19 (A)When words are many, transgression is not lacking,
    ^(B)but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.

39 I said, “I will ^(B)guard my ways,
    that I ^(C)may not sin with my tongue;
I will ^(D)guard my mouth with a muzzle,
    so long as the wicked are in my presence.”

¹³ The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness,
    and the end of his talk is evil madness.
^14 (A)A fool multiplies words,
    though no man knows what is to be,
    and who can tell him ^(B)what will be after him?

²⁷ Whoever ^(A)restrains his words has knowledge,
    and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.
²⁸ Even a fool ^(B)who keeps silent is considered wise;
    when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent.
