Proverbs 21:23

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

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

Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

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

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

Whoever restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.

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.
