Contradiction with Proverbs 10:19

Proverbs 10:19: In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips [is] wise.

Contradiction with Ecclesiastes 3:7

Indicates that there is a time to be silent, which may not align with the punishment aspect of silence in Luke 1:20.

Contradiction with Matthew 5:37

Encourages letting your communication be simple 'Yes' or 'No', potentially contradicting the imposition of forced silence as punitive.
