Proverbs 21:23

The one who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his life from troubles.

The evil person is ensnared by the transgression of his speech, but the righteous person escapes out of trouble.

The one who guards his words guards his life, but whoever is talkative will come to ruin.

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

When words abound, transgression is inevitable, but the one who restrains his words is wise.

The truly wise person restrains his words, and the one who stays calm is discerning.

If someone thinks he is religious yet does not bridle his tongue, and so deceives his heart, his religion is futile.

For we all stumble in many ways. If someone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect individual, able to control the entire body as well.
