7 For every nature of beasts and of birds and of serpents and of beings in the sea may be tamed and is tamed by mankind,
8 but no man can tame the tongue, which is an evil that cannot be restrained and is full of deadly poison.
3 The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips [and] the tongue that speaks proud things:
4 Who have said, With our tongue we will prevail; our lips [are] our own: who [is] lord over us?
15 By long forbearing a prince is persuaded, and a soft tongue breaks the bones.
1 To the Overcomer, [even] 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 bit while the wicked is against me.
9 Therefore, God also has highly exalted him and given him a name which is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [things] in heaven and [things] in earth and [things] under the earth,
11 and [that] every tongue should confess that the Lord Jesus Christ is Lord in the glory of God the Father.
1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels and have not charity, I am become [as] sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal.
2 For we all offend in many things. If any man offends not in word, the same [is] a perfect man, [and] able also to govern the whole body with restraint.
36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
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 those that love it shall eat its fruit.
9 Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongues, for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
28 And my tongue shall speak of thy righteousness [and] of thy praise all the day long.:
19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever, but a lying tongue [is] but for a moment.
12 [Lamed] Who [is] the man that desires life [and] loves [many] days that he may see good?
13 [Mem] Keep thy tongue from evil, and thy lips from speaking guile.
18 There are [those] that speak like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise [is] medicine.
9 With it we bless God, even the Father; and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God.
10 Out of the same mouth proceeds blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.
11 Does a fountain send forth at the same place [both] sweet and bitter [water]?
12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, produce olive berries? or the vine, figs? In the same manner no fountain [can] yield both salt water and fresh.
4 For the word [is] not even upon my tongue, [and], behold, O LORD, thou dost know it altogether.
28 Even a fool, when he is silent is counted wise, and he that shuts his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.:
30 [Pe] The mouth of the righteous speaks wisdom, and his tongue brings forth judgment.
31 The law of his God [is] in his heart; therefore none of his steps shall slide.
3 Behold, we put bits ([or restraint]) in the horses' mouths to persuade them, and we govern their whole body.
4 Behold also the ships, which though [they are] so great are driven of fierce winds, yet they are governed with a very small rudder, wherever the governor desires.
5 In the same manner, the tongue is a very small member and boasts of great things. Behold, how great a forest a little fire kindles!
6 And the tongue [is] a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defiles the whole body and sets on fire the course of our nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
26 If anyone among you thinks to be religious and does not bridle their tongue, but deceives his own heart, his religion [is] vain.
5 And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of the man built.
6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people [are] one, and they all have one language; and they begin to do this, and now nothing will be restrained from them which they have imagined to do.
7 Now, 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 there upon the face of all the earth, and they left off to build the city.
9 Therefore the name of it was called Babel because there the LORD confounded the language of all the earth, and from there the LORD scattered them abroad upon the face of all the earth.
2 Deliver my soul, O LORD, from lying lips [and] from a deceitful tongue.
19 In the multitude of words there [is] no lack [of] rebellion, but he that refrains his lips [is] wise.
