Talmud zu Mischlej 10:19
בְּרֹ֣ב דְּ֭בָרִים לֹ֣א יֶחְדַּל־פָּ֑שַׁע וְחֹשֵׂ֖ךְ שְׂפָתָ֣יו מַשְׂכִּֽיל׃
In der Vielzahl der Worte will es keine Übertretung geben; Aber wer seine Lippen unterlässt, ist weise.
Avot D'Rabbi Natan
Wisdom does not produce words, and words do not produce wisdom; only action does. Anyone who talks too much brings about sin, as it says (Proverbs 10:19), “When there is too much talking, there is no lack of sin.” And it says (Proverbs 17:28), “Even a fool, if he keeps silent, is deemed wise.”
