Proverbs 21:23

The one who guards his mouth and tongue
keeps himself out of trouble.

An evil man is trapped by his rebellious speech,
but a righteous one escapes from trouble.

The one who guards his mouth protects his life;
the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.

Life and death are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruit.

When there are many words, sin is unavoidable,
but the one who controls his lips is wise.

The intelligent person restrains his words,
and one who keeps a cool head
is a man of understanding.

If anyone thinks he is religious without controlling his tongue, then his religion is useless and he deceives himself.

for we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a mature man who is also able to control his whole body.
