But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles... If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword but the tongue of the wise is health. He that hath a froward heart findeth no good and he that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief. The getting of treasures by a lying tongue is a vanity tossed to and fro of them that seek death. The lip of truth shall be established for ever but a lying tongue is but for a moment. The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. By long forbearing is a prince persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone. 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. My tongue shall speak of thy word: for all thy commandments are righteousness. My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long..
