Proverbs 10:19 Context
17He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but hee that refuseth reproofe, erreth. 18Hee that hideth hatred with lying lippes, and he that vttereth a slander, is a foole. 19In the multitude of words there wanteth not sinne: but he that refraineth his lippes, is wise. 20The tongue of the iust is as choise siluer: the heart of the wicked is little worth. 21The lippes of the righteous feed many: but fooles die for want of wisedome.
