"Shouldn't a multitude of words be answered, or a person who talks too much be vindicated?

Every morning I will destroy all the wicked of the land, eliminating everyone who practices iniquity from the LORD's city. A prayer by the afflicted man who is overwhelmed and talks about his troubles with the LORD.

Anyone who guards his words protects his life; anyone who talks too much is ruined.

Whoever spreads gossip betrays confidences; so don't get involved with someone who talks too much.
