Thematic Bible: Of restraining the tongue
Thematic Bible
Social duties » Of home-keeping » Of restraining the tongue
If anyone thinks himself to be religious [scrupulously observant of the rituals of his faith], and does not control his tongue but deludes his own heart, this person’s religion is worthless (futile, barren).
For,“The one who wants to enjoy life and see good days [good—whether apparent or not],
Must keep his tongue free from evil and his lips from speaking guile (treachery, deceit).
Must keep his tongue free from evil and his lips from speaking guile (treachery, deceit).
Keep your tongue from evil
And your lips from speaking deceit.
The one who guards his mouth [thinking before he speaks] protects his life;
The one who opens his lips wide [and chatters without thinking] comes to ruin.
He who guards his mouth and his tongue
Guards himself from troubles.
