7 For every species both of beasts and of birds, both of creeping things and of sea animals, is tamed and has been tamed by the human species;
8 but the tongue can no one among men tame; {it is} an unsettled evil, full of death-bringing poison.
15 By long forbearing is a ruler persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
3 Jehovah will cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things,
4 Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail, our lips are our own: who {is} lord over us?
1 [To the chief Musician, to Jeduthun. A Psalm of David.] I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a muzzle, while the wicked is before me.
9 Wherefore also God highly exalted him, and granted him a name, that which is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of heavenly and earthly and infernal {beings},
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ {is} Lord to God {the} Father's glory.
1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.
2 For we all often offend. If any one offend not in word, *he* {is} a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body too.
36 But I say unto you, that every idle word which men shall say, they shall render an account of it in judgment-day:
37 for by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
9 Swallow {them} up, Lord; divide their tongue: for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
28 And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness, {and} of thy praise, all the day.
19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
18 There is that babbleth like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health.
28 Even a fool when he holdeth his peace is reckoned wise, {and} he that shutteth his lips, intelligent.
26 If any one think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his heart, this man's religion is vain.
5 And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the children of men built.
6 And Jehovah said, Behold, the people is one, and have all one language; and this have they begun to do. And now will they be hindered in nothing that they meditate doing.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.
8 And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth. And they left off building the city.
9 Therefore was its name called Babel; because Jehovah there confounded the language of the whole earth. And Jehovah scattered them thence over the face of the whole earth.
19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; but he that restraineth his lips doeth wisely.
12 What man is he that desireth life, {and} loveth days, that he may see good?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile;
30 The mouth of the righteous proffereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh judgment;
31 the law of his God is in his heart; his goings shall not slide.
4 For there is not yet a word on my tongue, {but} lo, O Jehovah, thou knowest it altogether.
2 Jehovah, deliver my soul from the lying lip, from the deceitful tongue.
3 Behold, we put the bits in the mouths of the horses, that they may obey us, and we turn round their whole bodies.
4 Behold also the ships, which are so great, and driven by violent winds, are turned about by a very small rudder, wherever the pleasure of the helmsman will.
5 Thus also the tongue is a little member, and boasts great things. See how little a fire, how large a wood it kindles!
6 and the tongue {is} fire, the world of unrighteousness; the tongue is set in our members, the defiler of the whole body, and which sets fire to the course of nature, and is set on fire of hell.
9 Therewith bless we the Lord and Father, and therewith curse we men made after {the} likeness of God.
10 Out of the same mouth goes forth blessing and cursing. It is not right, my brethren, that these things should be thus.
11 Does the fountain, out of the same opening, pour forth sweet and bitter?
12 Can, my brethren, a fig produce olives, or a vine figs? Neither {can} salt {water} make sweet water.
