The person who guards his mouth protects his life, while one who speaks without restraint may expose himself to disaster.

Das Licht der Gerechten brennt fröhlich; aber die Leuchte der Gottlosen wird auslöschen.
La luz de los justos se alegrará: Mas apagarase la lámpara de los impíos.
La lumière des justes est joyeuse, Mais la lampe des méchants s'éteint.
La luce de’ giusti sarà lieta; Ma la lampana degli empi sarà spenta
A luz dos justos alegra, mas a candeia dos ímpios se apagará.
義人的光使人歡喜 ; 惡人的燈要熄滅。
