A time for undoing and a time for stitching; a time for keeping quiet and a time for talk;

Don't be impulsive with your mouth nor be in a hurry to talk in God's presence. Since God is in heaven and you're on earth, keep your speech short.

Because much talk comes from dreams and things of no purpose. But let the fear of God be in you.

The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

Do not curse the king, even in your thoughts. Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom. For a bird will fly by and tell what you say, or something with wings may talk about it.
