Proverbs 12:23

A shrewd person conceals knowledge,
but a foolish heart publicizes stupidity.

Every sensible person acts knowledgeably,
but a fool displays his stupidity.

The tongue of the wise makes knowledge attractive,
but the mouth of fools blurts out foolishness.

A gossip goes around revealing a secret,
but a trustworthy person keeps a confidence.

The wise store up knowledge,
but the mouth of the fool hastens destruction.

When there are many words, sin is unavoidable,
but the one who controls his lips is wise.

Even when the fool walks along the road, his heart lacks sense,
and he shows everyone he is a fool.

The words from the mouth of a wise man are gracious,
but the lips of a fool consume him.

but a wise man holds it in check.
