Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few. (Ecclesiastes 5:2 KJV)
When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise. (Proverbs 10:19 NIV)
Whoever belittles his neighbor lacks sense, but a man of understanding remains silent. (Proverbs 11:12 ESV)
Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding. Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is deemed intelligent. (Proverbs 17:27-28 ESV)
Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; (James 1:19 ESV)
