Evil » Speech evil speaking » Vain talk condemned
For there are many rebellious [people], idle talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,
For a dream comes with many cares, and the voice of a fool with many words.
In many words, transgression is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is prudent.
Should he argue in talk [that] is not profitable or [in] words with which he cannot do good?
In all toil, there is profit, but the {talk} of lips [leads] only to poverty.
A fool gives all his breath, but [the] wise holds back in quiet.
Therefore prophesy, and you must say, 'Thus says the Lord Yahweh: "{Because indeed} {when you were desolate}, then they crushed you from all around, so that you became a possession to the remainder of the nations, and you became {a byword and object of slander for the people}."
