Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) 21:25

χείλη ἀλλοτρίων ἐν τούτοις βαρυνθήσεται, λόγοι δὲ φρονίμων ἐν ζυγῷ σταθήσονται.
King James Version (KJV)

The lips of talkers will be telling such things as pertain not unto them: but the words of such as have understanding are weighed in the balance.

Modern English

Gossips will talk about things that don't concern them, but the words of the understanding are carefully weighed.
