¹⁹^(A)When words are many, transgression is not lacking,
^(B)but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.

Proverbs 10:19

New International Version

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

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

²“Should ^(A)a multitude of words go unanswered,
and a man full of talk be judged right?

²“Are all these words to go unanswered?^(A)
Is this talker to be vindicated?^(B)

²Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
