The one who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps his life from troubles.

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

An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, but the righteous shall come out of trouble.

He who spares his words has knowledge. He who is even tempered is a man of understanding.Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise. When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.

In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.

If anyone among you thinks himself to be religious while he doesn’t bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man’s religion is worthless.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit.

For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.Indeed, we put bits into the horses’ mouths so that they may obey us, and we guide their whole body.Behold, the ships also, though they are so big and are driven by fierce winds, are yet guided by a very small rudder, wherever the pilot desires.So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and sea creature, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind;but nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men who are made in the image of God.Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh water.Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show by his good conduct that his deeds are done in gentleness of wisdom.
