Proverbs 10:19 - Albert Barnes' Notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

There wanteth not sin - Some render this, “Sin shall not cease,” etc., i. e., many words do not mend a fault. Silence on the part both of the reprover and the offender is often better. The King James Version is, however, preferable.

Proverbs 10:19

19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
