28The lips of the unwise will be telling foolish things but the words of the wise shall be weighed in a balance.
29The heart of fools is in their mouth: and the mouth of wise men is in their heart.

31The talebearer shall defile his own soul, and shall be hated by all: and he that shall abide with him shall be hateful: the silent and wise man shall be honoured.
