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.
