TALKING TOO MUCH?
Pr 10:19 When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.
Or
Pr 12:23 "A prudent man keeps his knowledge to himself, but the heart of fools blurts out folly."
Pr 17:27,28 "A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered. Even a fool is thought wise if he keeps silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue."
Likewise James writes, "If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless." Jas 1:26 and "My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry." Jas 1:19
So also even in prayer "Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few." Ecc 5:2
Pr 20:19 A gossip betrays a confidence; so avoid a man who talks too much.
