Proverbs 13:3

He who guards his mouth keeps his life. He who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.

He who keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

A wicked man is snared by the transgression of [his] lips, but the righteous shall come out of trouble.

A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are the snare of his soul.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it shall eat the fruit of it.

I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue. I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked man is before me.

Transgression is not lacking in the multitude of words, but he who refrains his lips does wisely.

He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets. Therefore do not associate with him who opens wide his lips.

But I say to you, that every idle word, whatever men may speak, they will render account about it in the day of judgment.

If any man among you seems to be religious, not bridling his tongue but deceiving his heart, this man's religion is futile.

For we all stumble in many things. If any man does not stumble in word, this is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
