This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Pro_10:19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips [is] wise.
Ver. 19. In the multitude of words.] In multiloquio stultiloquium. Many words are hardly well managed. Non est eiusdera, saith one. It is seldom seen that a man of many words miscarries not.
But he that refraineth his lips.] As Elihu did, {Job_32:11} and as Epaminondas is worthily praised by Plutarch for this, quod nemo plura noscet, et pauciora loqueretur; that no man knew more, and spake less than he did.
