You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.

“I will open My mouth in parables;
I will utter things hidden since the foundation of the world.”

It is not what enters into the mouth that defiles the man, but what proceeds out of the mouth, this defiles the man.”

Do you not understand that everything that goes into the mouth passes into the stomach, and is eliminated?

But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man.

However, so that we do not offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for you and Me.”
