Those who guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who speak rashly will come to ruin.

Whoever guards his mouth preserves his life; he who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

Those who control their tongue will have a long life; opening your mouth can ruin everything.

The one who guards his mouth protects his life; the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.

One who guards his mouth protects his life; One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.

The one who guards his mouth protects his life; the one who opens his lips invites his own ruin.

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life:[ but] he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

The one who guards his words guards his life, but whoever is talkative will come to ruin.

He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue Keepeth his soul from troubles.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

A fool’s mouth is his destruction, And his lips are the snare of his soul.

For in many things we all stumble. If any stumbleth not in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.Now if we put the horses’ bridles into their mouths that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also.Behold, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, whither the impulse of the steersman willeth.So the tongue also is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!And the tongue is a fire: the world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell.For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed by mankind:but the tongue can no man tame; it is a restless evil, it is full of deadly poison.Therewith bless we the Lord and Father; and therewith curse we men, who are made after the likeness of God:out of the same mouth cometh forth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be.Doth the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet water and bitter?can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs? neither can salt water yield sweet.

In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.

I said, I will take heed to my ways, That I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, While the wicked is before me.

In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man; But the righteous shall come out of trouble.

He that goeth about as a tale- bearer revealeth secrets; Therefore company not with him that openeth wide his lips.

And I say unto you, that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man’s religion is vain.
