It will rescue you from a forbidden woman,
from a stranger with her flattering talk,

Don’t let your mouth speak dishonestly,
and don’t let your lips talk deviously.

When you go, it shall lead you; when you sleep, it shall keep you; and when you awake, it shall talk with you.

She will keep you from a forbidden woman,
a stranger with her flattering talk.

She seduces him with her persistent pleading;
she lures with her flattering talk.

The wise-hearted man will let himself be ruled, but the man whose talk is foolish will have a fall.

Where there is much talk there will be no end to sin, but he who keeps his mouth shut does wisely.

A tale-bearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter.

There are some whose uncontrolled talk is like the wounds of a sword, but the tongue of the wise makes one well again.

The fool's talk brings a rod to his back, but the lips of the wise protect them.

In all labor there is profit: but the talk of the lips leads only to poverty.

A froward man sendeth forth contention, A tale-bearer is separating a familiar friend.

A wicked person listens to malicious talk;
a liar pays attention to a destructive tongue.

The words of a tale-bearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

The power of the tongue is life and death those who love to talk will eat what it produces.

He that goeth about as a tale-bearer revealeth secrets; therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.

For their heart studies destruction, and their lips talk of mischief.

Have a talk with your neighbour himself about your cause, but do not give away the secret of another:

Without wood, the fire goes out; and where there is no secret talk, argument is ended.

The words of a tale-bearer are as wounds, and they go down into the innermost parts of the belly.

Whoever shares with a thief is his own enemy; he hears the oath to testify, but does not talk.
