SCRIPTURE

"He that hideth hatred is of lying lips; And he that uttereth a slander is a fool. In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely. The tongue of the righteous is [as] choice silver: The heart of the wicked is little worth." — Proverbs 10:18-20 (ASV)
