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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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