"The words of a wise man brings him honor, but a fool is destroyed by his own words."
Explanation: the verse contrasts wise speech, which gains favor, respect and positive outcomes, with foolish speech, which brings trouble and self-destruction. It’s about the social and practical consequences of how we speak, not primarily about money, divine promptings, or equating words to literal gold.
