Proverbs 10:19
“In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.”
What does Proverbs 10:19 mean?
When we talk too much without thinking, we're likely to say something wrong, hurtful, or dishonest. The verse contrasts endless chatter with the wisdom of holding back, suggesting that silence and careful speech are often the better choice. Someone who listens more than they speak, and thinks before they talk, tends to avoid the mess that careless words create. There's real strength in knowing when not to speak.
