Verse 23
"Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles."
"Caution in speech has already been mentioned in Proverbs 21:13:3 and Proverbs 21:18:21 (See the comments there). The troubles referred to here are probably social and legal difficulties into which imprudent talk would bring one, especially where there were gossips and professional informers."[21]
