ગુજરાતીનીતિવચનો ૧૦:૧૯
ઘણું બોલવામાં દોષની અછત નથી, પણ જે પોતાની જીભ પર લગામ રાખે છે, તે ડાહ્યો છે.
हिन्दीनीतिवचन १०:१९
जहाँ बहुत बातें होती हैं , वहाँ अपराध भी होता है, परन्तु जो अपने मुँह को बन्द रखता है वह बुद्धि से काम करता है।

In context

17He is in the way of life who heeds correction, but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray.

18He who hides hatred has lying lips. He who utters a slander is a fool.

19In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.

20The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little worth.

21The lips of the righteous feed many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding.
