Psalms 34:12-16
Who is the man who delights in life, loving a long life to enjoy what is good?Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from deceitful speech.Turn away from evil and do what is good; seek peace and pursue it.The eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and His ears are open to their cry for help.The face of the Lord is set against those who do what is evil, to erase all memory of them from the earth.

James 3:1-10
Not many should become teachers, my brothers, knowing that we will receive a stricter judgment,for we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a mature man who is also able to control his whole body.Now when we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we also guide the whole animal.And consider ships: Though very large and driven by fierce winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.So too, though the tongue is a small part of the body, it boasts great things. Consider how large a forest a small fire ignites.And the tongue is a fire. The tongue, a world of unrighteousness, is placed among the parts of our bodies. It pollutes the whole body, sets the course of life on fire, and is set on fire by hell.Every sea creature, reptile, bird, or animal is tamed and has been tamed by man,but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.We praise our Lord and Father with it, and we curse men who are made in God’s likeness with it.Praising and cursing come out of the same mouth. My brothers, these things should not be this way.
