Proverbs 10:18-20
English Standard Version
18 The one who conceals hatred has lying lips,
and whoever utters slander is a fool.
19 (A)When words are many, transgression is not lacking,
(B)but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.
20 The tongue of the righteous is (C)choice silver;
the heart of the wicked is of little worth.
Proverbs 10:18-20
King James Version
18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
