Mishle 10:18-20
Orthodox Jewish Bible
18 He that hideth sin’ah with sfatayim sheker, and he that uttereth a slander, is a kesil (fool).
19 In the multitude of devarim there wanteth not sin, but he that restraineth his sfatayim (lips) is maskil (wise).
20 The lashon of the tzaddik is as choice kesef; the lev of the resha’im is of little worth.

New International Version
18 Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips(A)
and spreads slander is a fool.

but the prudent hold their tongues.(B)
20 The tongue of the righteous is choice silver,
but the heart of the wicked is of little value.
