Latin
5There is one that keepeth silence, and is found wise: and another by much babbling becometh hateful. 6Some man holdeth his tongue, because he hath not to answer: and some keepeth silence, knowing his time. 7A wise man will hold his tongue till he see opportunity: but a babbler and a fool will regard no time.
