WHEN TO SPEAK ~ ? ???

(Proverbs 20:19)
19 “A slanderer goes about revealing confidential talk;
Do not associate with one who loves to gossip.“

Speech is part of our daily life, but we do not need to talk all the time. In fact, the Bible says that there is “a time to be silent.” (Eccl. 3:7) 

??

Maintaining silence when others are speaking can be a mark of respect. (Job 6:24) 

??

Controlling our tongue to keep quiet about a confidential matter gives evidence of discretion and discernment. (Prov. 20:19) 

??

Restraining our tongue when we are provoked is the course of wisdom.—Ps. 4:4. - Bible Speaks -
