Proverbs 13:3

He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, but the righteous shall come out of trouble.

A fool's mouth is his destruction, and his lips are a snare to his soul.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit.

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."

In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.

He who goes about as a tale-bearer reveals secrets; therefore don't keep company with him who opens wide his lips.

I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn't bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man's religion is worthless.

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.
