"The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion."
Where there is much talk there will be no end to sin, but he who keeps — Book of Proverbs
"Where there is much talk there will be no end to sin, but he who keeps his mouth shut does wisely."
The Book of Proverbs is the second book in the third section of the Hebrew Bible and a book in the Christian Old Testament. It is traditionally ascribed to King Solomon and his students. When translated into Greek and Latin, the title took on different forms: in the Greek Septuagint (LXX), it became Παροιμίαι ; in the Latin Vulgate, the title was Proverbia—from which the English name is derived.
