He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.
For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.
A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
