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.

When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but whoever restrains his lips is prudent.

An evil man is ensnared by the transgression of his lips, but the righteous escapes from trouble.

Whoever keeps his mouth and his tongue keeps himself out of trouble.

I said, "I will guard my ways, that I may not sin with my tongue; I will guard my mouth with a muzzle, so long as the wicked are in my presence."

I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak,

If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless.

For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle his whole body.
