謹守口舌的得保性命；大張其嘴的必致敗亡。

壞人被自己嘴中的過錯所羅住；義人必從患難中逃脫出來。

檢束言語的、認識知識；脾氣冷靜的是明哲人。愚妄人默不作聲、也算為智慧；閉口不言、也算為明達。

多言多語難免有過錯；檢束嘴脣的乃是通達。

若有人自以為是熱心宗教，卻不勒制自己的舌頭，反而欺騙了自己的心，這人的宗教就徒勞無效了。

生死都在舌頭權下；愛鼓弄舌頭的必喫舌頭結的果子。

我們在許多事上都能有失錯；若有人在話語上沒有失錯，他就是完全的人，竟能勒制全身的。我們若把馬嚼環放在馬嘴裏，使他們順服我們，便能調導牠們的全身。你看，就是船隻雖那麼大，又被強硬的風催逼着，也能被小小的舵所調導，向掌舵者的意思所願去的方向走。舌頭也是這樣。舌頭是個小肢體，竟能誇說大事呢。你看，多麼小的火能點𤏲多麼大堆的樹林木料啊！舌頭是火；在我們肢體中，舌頭立成了不義之世界，是沾污全身的，把人生活動之輪點𤏲起來的，被垃圾坑式的火點𤏲的。各類走獸飛鳥、昆蟲水族、都是可以控制到馴服的，也已經被人類控制到馴服了。惟獨舌頭沒有人能控制到馴服：嘿，倔強的禍患，滿有害死人的毒氣！我們用舌頭祝頌那為主為父的，又用舌頭咒詛那依上帝之形相而受造的人。祝頌和咒詛都從同一個口裏出來：我的弟兄們，這是不該這樣的。泉源哪能從同一個穴裏噴出甜的苦的來呢？我的弟兄們，無花果樹哪能結橄欖呢？葡萄樹哪能結無花果呢？鹹水也不能發出甜水來啊！你們中間誰是有智慧有特長的呢？他應當以智慧之柔和、由好的為人指顯出他的行為來。
