Proverbs 13:3

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

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

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

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

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.

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.
