23 Those who guard their mouths and their tongues keep themselves from calamity.
23 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
23 Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble.
23 Watch your words and hold your tongue; you'll save yourself a lot of grief.
23 Whoever guards his mouth and tongue Keeps his soul from troubles.
23 Watch your tongue and keep your mouth shut, and you will stay out of trouble.
