New International Version (NIV)

19Sin is not ended by multiplying words,

but the prudent hold their tongues.

19When there are many words, wrongdoing is unavoidable,

But one who restrains his lips is wise.

19When there are many words, transgression and offense are unavoidable,

But he who controls his lips and keeps thoughtful silence is wise.

19When words are many, sin is unavoidable,

but he who restrains his lips is wise.

19In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression;

But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.

19In many wordes there cannot want iniquitie: but he that refrayneth his lippes, is wise.

19In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience,

but he who restrains his lips does wisely.

19Sin is not ended by using many words.

But those who are wise control their tongues.

19If you talk too much, you will soon do something wrong.

But if you are wise, you will stop talking.

19In the abundance of words transgression does not cease, || And whoever is restraining his lips [is] wise.
