谨慎口舌的，可保性命；口没遮拦的，自取灭亡。

坏人嘴里的过失，是自己的网罗；但义人必脱离患难。

有知识的约束自己的言语；聪明人心平气和。愚妄人默不作声，也算是智慧；闭口不言，也算是聪明。

多言多语难免有过失；约束自己嘴唇的，是明慧人。

如果有人自以为虔诚，却不约束他的舌头，反而自己欺骗自己，这人的虔诚是没有用的。

生与死都在舌头的权下；爱把弄这权柄的，必自食其果。

我们在许多的事上都有过错，假如有人在言语上没有过错，他就是完全的人，也能够控制全身。我们若把嚼环扣入马嘴，使它们驯服，就能驾驭它们的全身。试看，船只虽然甚大，又被狂风催逼，舵手只用小小的舵，就可以随意操纵。照样，舌头虽然是个小肢体，却会说夸大的话。试看，星星之火，可以燎原；舌头就是火，在我们百体中，是个不义的世界，能污秽全身，把整个生命在运转中焚烧起来，而且是被地狱之火点燃的。各类飞禽、走兽、昆虫、水族，都可以驯服，而且都已经被人类制伏了；可是没有人能够制伏舌头；它是喋喋不休的恶物，充满了致命的毒素。我们用它来称颂我们的主和天父，又用它来咒诅照神的形象被造的人。同一张嘴竟然又称颂主，又咒诅人；我的弟兄们，这是不应该的！泉源能够从同一个出口涌出甜水和苦水来吗？我的弟兄们，无花果树能结橄榄吗？葡萄树能长无花果吗？咸水也不能发出甜水来。你们中间谁是有智慧、有见识的呢？他就应当有美好的生活，用明智的温柔，把自己的行为表现出来。
