Proverbs 21:23

Whoso is keeping his mouth and his tongue, Is keeping from adversities his soul.

In transgression of the lips is the snare of the wicked, And the righteous goeth out from distress.

Whoso is keeping his mouth, is keeping his soul, Whoso is opening wide his lips -- ruin to him!

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those loving it eat its fruit.

In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips is wise.

One acquainted with knowledge is sparing his words, And the cool of temper is a man of understanding.

If any one doth think to be religious among you, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, of this one vain is the religion;

for we all make many stumbles; if any one in word doth not stumble, this one is a perfect man, able to bridle also the whole body;
