When words are many, transgression is not lacking,
but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.

Sin is not ended by multiplying words,
but the prudent hold their tongues.

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

In the multitude of words sin is not lacking,
But he who restrains his lips is wise.

Too much talk leads to sin.
Be sensible and keep your mouth shut.

When words are many, transgression is not lacking,
but the prudent are restrained in speech.

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

Where many words are spoken, sin is not absent,
but whoever restrains his tongue is prudent.
