蝮類乎、爾既惡、言何能善、蓋充諸心者、出諸口也、

蝮類乎、爾既惡、言豈能善、蓋有諸心者、言諸口也、

蝮類乎、爾既為惡、言豈能善、蓋充諸心者出諸口也、

You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

You nest of poisonous snakes! How can you who are evil say anything good? Your mouths say everything that is in your hearts.

You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.

善人心存乎善、發之亦善；惡人心存乎惡、發之亦惡；蓋心有所蘊、口則道之。

若夫出於口者、發於心而汙人；

舌在人身、亦復如是其形雖小、其誇實大。星星之火、可以燎原；舌猶火也、亦眾惡之府也；深藏我百體之中、而玷污我七尺之軀、引上地獄之火、而焚燬我生命之輪。一切飛禽走獸、爬蟲鱗介、皆可馴服、且已為人類所馴服矣。惟此三寸之舌、竟無人能馴服之；其惡不息、其毒無比。

莫使惡言浪語、出爾口中。當因人施教、循循善誘、以成人之美。

正如經云：『茫茫寰海裏、竟無一介仁；亦無智慧子想與主相親。紛紛入歧途、溷濁如垢塵；欲求為善者、舉世無一人。』又云：『舌端弄詭譎、咽喉如荒墓；唇內藏辛螫、口中含咒詛；

善人所蘊者善、所發亦善；惡人所蘊者惡、所發亦惡。

爾父非他、魔鬼是已！爾父之志、爾則承之。彼自始即為殺人之元兇、未曾須臾立足於真理之中、以彼心中不存真理故。惟誑語乃出其本性；彼為誑者、亦為誑者父。

求主拯我。於彼巨猾。求主脫我。於彼暴虐。窮兵黷武。心存險惡。

恃勢凌人兮。自謂安如磐石永享康寧。彼之口中兮。惟有欺詐與呪詛。彼之舌底兮。滿貯螫毒與邪汚。

如望見法利塞及撒杜責之徒、亦群來受洗、訓之曰：『蝮種、誰警爾以避將臨之怒耶？

群小紛紜。橫行無度。祈主保我。莫為所誣。

嗟爾虺蝮之種將何以逃於地獄之刑乎？

眾出受洗、如望謂之曰：『蝮類！誰警爾曹以避將臨之怒耶？

今日復求主。濟我於讒舌。讒舌毒於螫。殺人莫不見血。主將加何刑。方與厥罪稱。利箭集其身。爇炭澆其頂。

突然而發。得意洋洋。
