Proverbs13:3
3. He that keepeth his mouth , keepeth his life : but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction .
To wit, shut, for this is opposed to the opening of it: who speaks sparingly, and with due care and caution.
Prevents many sins and mischiefs which others run into.
That takes liberty to speak every thing which pleaseth him, or cometh into his mind▪
From God or men.
