Slow to speak

That verse makes me think.

That maybe I shouldn't be talking.

Does 'quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger' mean that it is better to keep quiet? Not to talk unless it's of the utmost imporatnce?

Or does it mean in situations where you may say things out of anger, it is better to listen carefully before you talk?

Or does it mean something else?

I would like to write long posts about other things but, ahem.
