Proverbs 12:23

A clever person conceals knowledge, but the heart of a fool announces folly.

Anyone who is clever will act with intelligence, but the fool will display folly.

The tongue of the wise will dispense knowledge, but the mouth of fools will pour out folly.

A gossip walks [about] telling a secret, but the trustworthy in spirit keeps [the] matter.

Those who are wise lay up knowledge, but [to] the mouth of the fool, ruin draws near.

In many words, transgression is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is prudent.

Even when the fool walks along the road, he lacks sense; he tells everyone [that] he is a fool.

The wise man [wins] favor by the words of his mouth, but the fool is devoured by his own lips.
