1Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.
2Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
3For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.

Perhaps, this may be so in some cases and Solomon is reminding us to keep our words few. When I think of when Jesus spoke, especially when He was healing or through deliverance His words were few.
Dear Heavenly Father, I pray today and each day I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue and that my mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the mediatation of my heart shall be understanding. I thank you for the power over my tongue in Jesus Name Amen – Ps 39:1; Ps 49:3
