H3684A foolH3318uttereth[H8686] H7307all his mindH2450: but a wiseH7623man keepeth[H8762] H268it in till afterwards.
H926Be not rash[H8762] H6310with thy mouthH3820, and let not thine heartH4116be hasty[H8762] H3318to utter[H8687] H1697any thingH6440beforeH430GodH430: for GodH8064is in heavenH776, and thou upon earthH1697: therefore let thy wordsH4592be few.

G1081O generationG2191of vipersG4459, howG1410can ye[G5736] G5607, being[G5752] G4190evilG2980, speak[G5721] G18good thingsG1063? forG1537out ofG4051the abundanceG2588of the heartG4750the mouthG2980speaketh[G5719] .
H5414Suffer[H8799] H6310not thy mouthH1320to cause thy fleshH2398to sin[H8687] H559; neither say[H8799] H6440thou beforeH4397the angelH7684, that it was an errorH430: wherefore should GodH7107be angry[H8799] H6963at thy voiceH2254, and destroy[H8765] H4639the workH3027of thine hands?
H2372Seest[H8804] H376thou a manH213that is hasty[H8801] H1697in his wordsH8615? there is more hopeH3684of a fool than of him.
H3820The heartH2450of the wiseH7919teacheth[H8686] H6310his mouthH3254, and addeth[H8686] H3948learningH8193to his lips.
H6175Every prudentH6213man dealeth[H8799] H1847with knowledgeH3684: but a foolH6566layeth open[H8799] H200his folly.
H7230In the multitudeH1697of wordsH2308there wanteth[H8799] H6588not sinH2820: but he that refraineth[H8802] H8193his lipsH7919is wise[H8688] .

H8193The lipsH6662of the righteousH3045know[H8799] H7522what is acceptableH6310: but the mouthH7563of the wickedH8419speaketh frowardness.
