19 When there are (A)many words, transgression is unavoidable,But (B)he who holds back his lips has insight.
23 A (A)prudent man conceals knowledge,But the heart of fools proclaims folly.
3 The one who (A)guards his mouth keeps his soul;The one who (B)opens wide his lips [a]comes to ruin.
28 Even an ignorant fool, when he (A)keeps silent, is considered wise;When he closes his lips, he is considered understanding.
13 He who (A)responds with a word before he hears,It is folly and shame to him.
23 He who (A)keeps his mouth and his tongue,Keeps his soul from troubles.
