Proverbs 10:18-20

New Life Version

¹⁸He who hides hate has lying lips, and he who talks to hurt people is a fool.

¹⁹The one who talks much will for sure sin, but he who is careful what he says is wise.

²⁰The tongue of those who are right with God is like fine silver, but the heart of the sinful is not worth much.

Proverbs 10:18-20

New International Version

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

¹⁹Sin is not ended by multiplying words,
but the prudent hold their tongues.^(B)

²⁰The tongue of the righteous is choice silver,
but the heart of the wicked is of little value.

¹⁸He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.

¹⁹In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

²⁰The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
