נֹצֵ֣ר פִּ֭יו שֹׁמֵ֣ר נַפְשׁ֑וֹ פֹּשֵׂ֥ק שְׂ֝פָתָ֗יו מְחִתָּה לֽוֹ׃
noṣer piyv shomer napshvo posheq shpatayv mḥitah lvo
King James Version (KJV)

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

Modern English

Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
