For this is no idle word for you -- it is your life! By this word you will live a long time in the land you are about to cross the Jordan to possess."

Will your idle talk reduce people to silence, and will no one rebuke you when you mock?

Because of laziness the roof caves in, and because of idle hands the house leaks.
