Can you give any hints, Artanis? We seem to be stalling out here... I assume it's from UT, but can you help out a little more? It reminds me somewhat of Aredhel, but I don't think that's right, and I don't even remember if that story is in UT.

Is it some guardian elf from Doriath talking to Morwen and Niniel?

Then Mablung cried: 'Fey are you both, and foolhardy. You help not but hinder any gathering of news. Now hear me! I was bidden not to stay you with strength; but I was bidden also to guard you, as I might.'

Only wrong word is "seek" - note it's 5 letters, not 4.
You're in the right ballpark as to speaker, but it's not Voronwë.

GrrrRuufff! *wags tail*
uh, oops! nevermind.... Yes, "speak" is correct And the speaker is really kinda weird, as I look at the passage - Ecthelion was the speaker immediately before, but the next speaker is never identified by name - but by implication, you can figure out who he is....

Yes, Artanis.
The quote is complete; the winner will be the one who gets the speaker! (hint - it's in UT, the Gondolin chapter - and see if we agree who the speaker is....)

No, it's not Ecthelion.
I'll go ahead and say who it is, because it's not completely clear who it is in the book - it's Tuor, to the best of my figuring-out. It's at the end of the "Of Tuor and his coming to Gondolin". Voronwë and Tuor have been led thru the gates leading to Gondolin, and are now standing before Ecthelion, who says, "You have come to the Last Gate. Know then that no stranger who passes it shall ever go out again, save by the door of death." Then it goes immediately into the next paragraph, "Speak not ill-boding! If the messenger of the Lord of Waters go by that door, then all those who dwell here will follow him. Lord of the Fountain, hinder not the messenger of the Lord of Waters!" Then it says, "Then Voronwë and all those who stood near looked again in wonder at Tuor, marvelling at his words and voice." So I think it's Tuor, don't you? It can't still be Ecthelion speaking, since the speaker is addressing the Lord of the Fountain, who is Ecthelion. Artanis, it's your go, since you got the last correct part of the quote. I won't pick such a confusing one next time!

To add to the confusion: One may argue that it's really Ulmo speaking through Tuor
 "I/_n_w/_o_r/_a_e./_/h_p_/i_/i_/m_r_t_d./_u_/t_i_/f_o_i_h/_u_i_e_s/_f/_o_r/_o_b_t/ _a_e_/m_/w_n_e_/w_e_h_r/_t/_s/_o_e_i_h_/t_a_/i_/o_/y_u,/_n_/y_u/_r_/n_t/ _r_z_d/_a_h_r/_h_n/_o_e_e_i_g./_o/_a_y/_a_e_/m_y/_a_e/_i_o_d_r_d/_o_r/_i_s."

"I know your hate. I hope it is merited. But this foolish business of your hobbit makes me wonder whether it is _o_e_i_h that is on you, and you are not crazed rather than foreseeing. So many cares may have disordered your wits."
Said by Thorin to Gandalf concerning the quest of Erebor.

The only wrong word is 'hate'.
