18 Whoever conceals hatred with lying lips

and spreads slander is a fool.

19 Sin is not ended by multiplying words,

but the prudent hold their tongues.

18 The one who conceals hatred has lying lips,

and whoever utters slander is a fool.

19 When words are many, transgression is not lacking,

but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.

18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips,

And he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.

19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin:

But he that refraineth his lips is wise.

18 Hiding hatred makes you a liar;

slandering others makes you a fool.

19 Too much talk leads to sin.

Be sensible and keep your mouth shut.

18 Whoever hides hatred has lying lips,

And whoever spreads slander is a fool.

19 In the multitude of words sin is not lacking,

But he who restrains his lips is wise.

18 Whoever hides hate is a liar.

Whoever tells lies is a fool.

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

if you are wise, you will keep quiet.

18 He that hideth hatred is of lying lips;

And he that uttereth a slander is a fool.

19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression;

But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.

18 He that covereth hatred hath lying lips, and he that sendeth forth a slander is a fool.

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

18 Whoever conceals hatred has lying lips. 

Whoever spreads slander is a fool. 

19 Sin is unavoidable when there is much talk, 

but whoever seals his lips is wise. 

18 The one who conceals hatred has lying lips,

and whoever spreads slander is a fool.

19 When there are many words, sin is unavoidable,

but the one who controls his lips is wise.

18 He who conceals hatred has lips of deceit,

and he who utters slander—he is a fool.

19 In many words, transgression is not lacking,

but he who restrains his lips is prudent.

18 Anyone who hides hatred has lying lips.

And anyone who spreads lies is foolish.

19 Those who talk a lot are likely to sin.

But those who control their tongues are wise.

18 He who conceals hatred has lying lips,

And he who spreads slander is a fool.

19 When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable,

But he who restrains his lips is wise.
