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]
