15 By long forbearing is a ruler persuaded, and a soft tongue breaketh the bone.
1 I said: 'I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue; I will keep a curb upon my mouth, while the wicked is before me.'
9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
3 May the LORD cut off all flattering lips, the tongue that speaketh proud things!
4 Who have said: 'Our tongue will we make mighty; our lips are with us: who is lord over us?'
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and they that indulge it shall eat the fruit thereof.
19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever; but a lying tongue is but for a moment.
12 Who is the man that desireth life, and loveth days, that he may see good therein?
13 Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
2 O LORD, deliver my soul from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O LORD, Thou knowest it altogether.
28 And my tongue shall speak of Thy righteousness, and of Thy praise all the day.
28 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise; and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed as a man of understanding.
30 The mouth of the righteous uttereth wisdom, and his tongue speaketh justice.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps slide.
19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression; but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health.
5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded.
6 And the LORD said: 'Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is what they begin to do; and now nothing will be withholden from them, which they purpose to do.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.'
8 So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth; and they left off to build the city.
9 Therefore was the name of it called Babel; because the LORD did there confound the language of all the earth; and from thence did the LORD scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
