'Tongue' in the Bible

After Jesus took him aside privately, away from the crowd, he put his fingers in the man's ears, and after spitting, he touched his tongue.

And immediately the man's ears were opened, his tongue loosened, and he spoke plainly.

Immediately Zechariah's mouth was opened and his tongue released, and he spoke, blessing God.

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

So too the tongue is a small part of the body, yet it has great pretensions. Think how small a flame sets a huge forest ablaze.

And the tongue is a fire! The tongue represents the world of wrongdoing among the parts of our bodies. It pollutes the entire body and sets fire to the course of human existence -- and is set on fire by hell.

But no human being can subdue the tongue; it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

For the one who wants to love life and see good days must keep his tongue from evil and his lips from uttering deceit.
