¹⁹ In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience,
    but he who restrains his lips does wisely.

²³ A prudent man keeps his knowledge,
    but the hearts of fools proclaim foolishness.

³ He who guards his mouth guards his soul.
    One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

²⁸ Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise.
    When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.

¹³ He who answers before he hears,
    that is folly and shame to him.
