Bible verse of the day · Monday, October 12, 2026
In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.Proverbs 10:19
Proverbs 10 starts the collection of Solomon’s two-line sayings. This one is close to arithmetic: the more words, the more chances to go wrong. Holding back gets called wisdom, not weakness.
Read it in context.
Proverbs 10
17He is in the way of life who heeds correction, but he who forsakes reproof leads others astray. 18He who hides hatred has lying lips. He who utters a slander is a fool. 19In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely. 20The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little worth. 21The lips of the righteous feed many, but the foolish die for lack of understanding.
In other Bibles.
When words are many, sin is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise.
