Seest thou a man that is hasty in his words? there is more hope of a fool than of him.
A man ... hasty in his words (Proverbs 29:11; Proverbs 18:13; James 1:19)?
There is more hope of a fool ... Proverbs 26:12 says the same of a 'man wise in his own conceit.' Self-sufficiency and loquacity are close akin.
