You hide them in the protection of Your presence; You conceal them in a shelter from the schemes of men, from quarrelsome tongues.

James 3:5-8

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.
