He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
La persona que controla lo que dice protege su vida, pero quien habla sin cuidado enfrentará la ruina.
Controlar nuestras palabras nos protege, mientras que hablar descuidadamente nos lleva a la destrucción.
📚 Contexto Histórico
This proverb comes from the wisdom literature of ancient Israel, likely written during Solomon's reign around 950 BC. In ancient Hebrew culture, words were understood to have real power and consequence - they could build up or tear down relationships, reputations, and even entire communities. The concept of 'keeping one's mouth' was a central theme in wisdom teaching, as uncontrolled speech could lead to social disgrace, broken relationships, or even physical danger in tight-knit ancient societies.
