Thou speakest

David said, "What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should this day be adversaries to me? Shall there any man be put to death this day in Israel? For don't I know that I am this day king over Israel?"

Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

In all this

In all this, Job did not sin, nor charge God with wrongdoing.

I said, "I will watch my ways, so that I don't sin with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me."

For the sin of their mouth, and the words of their lips, let them be caught in their pride, for the curses and lies which they utter.

You offspring of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.

For in many things we all stumble. If anyone doesn't stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.
