Psalms 34:12-16
Do you love life and want to see many good days?Then keep your tongues from speaking evil. Keep your lips from telling lies.Turn away from evil, and do good. Look for peace, and go after it.The Lord looks with favor on those who are godly. His ears are open to their cry.But the Lord doesn’t look with favor on those who do evil. He removes all memory of them from the earth.

James 3:1-10
My brothers and sisters, most of you shouldn’t become teachers. That’s because you know that those of us who teach will be held more accountable.All of us get tripped up in many ways. Suppose someone is never wrong in what they say. Then they are perfect. They are able to keep their whole body under control.We put a small piece of metal in the mouth of a horse to make it obey us. We can control the whole animal with it.And how about ships? They are very big. They are driven along by strong winds. But they are steered by a very small rudder. It makes them go where the captain wants to go.In the same way, the tongue is a small part of a person’s body. But it talks big. Think about how a small spark can set a big forest on fire.The tongue is also a fire. The tongue is the most evil part of the body. It makes the whole body impure. It sets a person’s whole way of life on fire. And the tongue itself is set on fire by hell.People have tamed all kinds of wild animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures. And they still tame them.But no one can tame the tongue. It is an evil thing that never rests. It is full of deadly poison.With our tongues we praise our Lord and Father. With our tongues we curse people. We do it even though people have been created to be like God.Praise and cursing come out of the same mouth. My brothers and sisters, it shouldn’t be this way.
