20 Do you see someone who speaks in haste?
There is more hope for a fool than for them.
Proverbs Club Commentary
A blabbermouth is virtually without hope.
Do not let any unwholesome talk
come out of your mouths,
but only what is helpful for building others up
according to their needs,
that it may benefit those who listen.
Ephesians 4:29 (NIV)

19 Servants cannot be corrected by mere words;
though they understand, they will not respond.
Proverbs Club Commentary
Resisting authority is not acceptable.
Silence from the subordinate is usually rebellion,
which must be addressed and resolved.
