Proverbs 10:19-21

Contemporary English Version

¹⁹ You will say the wrong thing
    if you talk too much—
so be sensible and watch
    what you say.
²⁰ The words of a good person
    are like pure silver,
but the thoughts
of an evil person
    are almost worthless.
²¹ Many are helped
    by useful instruction,
but fools are killed
    by their own stupidity.
