19 Sin is not ended by multiplying words,

but the prudent hold their tongues.

19 When words are many, transgression is not lacking,

but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.

19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin:

But he that refraineth his lips is wise.

19 Too much talk leads to sin.

Be sensible and keep your mouth shut.

19 If you talk a lot, you are sure to sin;

if you are wise, you will keep quiet.

19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression;

But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.

19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; but he that restraineth his lips doeth wisely.

19 Sin is unavoidable when there is much talk, 

but whoever seals his lips is wise. 

19 When there are many words, sin is unavoidable,

but the one who controls his lips is wise.

19 When words are many, transgression is not lacking,

but the prudent are restrained in speech.

19 In many words, transgression is not lacking,

but he who restrains his lips is prudent.

19 Those who talk a lot are likely to sin.

But those who control their tongues are wise.

19 When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable,

But he who restrains his lips is wise.
