I have researched [various translations](https://www.earlychristianwritings.com/1clement.html) of 1 Clement 30:5 and would be thankful if anyone could expound what is meant by:
> *Blessed is the offspring of a woman that liveth but a short time. Be not thou abundant in words.* -- [J.B. Lightfoot translation](https://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/1clement-lightfoot.html)
Alternate translation:
> -- doth he that is born of woman and liveth but for a short time think himself to be blessed? Be not abundant in speech. -- [Charles Hoole translation](https://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/1clement-hoole.html)
