חָזִ֗יתָ אִ֭ישׁ אָ֣ץ בִּ⁠דְבָרָ֑י⁠ו

see (a)_man hasty in/on/at/with,words,his

אָ֣ץ בִּ⁠דְבָרָ֑י⁠ו

hasty in/on/at/with,words,his

Here, hurrying in his words is an idiom that means “speaking before thinking about what to say.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use an idiom from your language that does have that meaning or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “talking off the cuff” or “who speaks without thinking”
