Proverbs 10:18-20

Lexham English Bible

¹⁸ He who conceals hatred has lips of deceit,
    and he who utters slander—he is a fool.
¹⁹ In many words, transgression is not lacking,
    but he who restrains his lips is prudent.
²⁰ Choice silver is a tongue of righteousness,
    a heart^[a] of wickedness is of little worth.^[b]
