7 For every kind of animal, bird, creeping thing, and thing in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind.
8 But nobody can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
15 By patience a ruler is persuaded.A soft tongue breaks the bone.
3 May the Lord cut off all flattering lips,and the tongue that boasts,
4 who have said, "With our tongue we will prevail.Our lips are our own.Who is lord over us?"
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue;those who love it will eat its fruit.
19 Truth's lips will be established forever,but a lying tongue is only momentary.
1 If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become sounding brass, or a clanging cymbal.
9 With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who are made in the image of God.
10 Out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
11 Does a spring send out from the same opening fresh and bitter water?
12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Nor is salt water able to produce sweet.
26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious while he does not bridle his tongue, but deceives his heart, this man's religion is worthless.
19 In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience,but he who restrains his lips does wisely.
1 For the Chief Musician. For Jeduthun. A Psalm by David.I said, "I will watch my ways, so that I do not sin with my tongue.I will keep my mouth with a bridle while the wicked is before me."
9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, those on earth, and those under the earth,
11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
2 For in many things we all stumble. If anyone does not stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.
36 But I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.
37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
9 Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language,for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
28 My tongue shall talk about your righteousness and about your praise all day long.
12 Who is someone who desires life,and loves many days, that he may see good?NUN
13 Keep your tongue from evil,and your lips from speaking lies.SAMEKH
18 There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword,but the tongue of the wise heals.
4 For there is not a word on my tongue,but, behold, Lord, you know it altogether.
28 Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise.When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.
30 The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom.His tongue speaks justice.
31 The law of his God is in his heart.None of his steps shall slide.TZADE
2 Deliver my soul, Lord, from lying lips,from a deceitful tongue.
5 The Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men built.
6 The Lord said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is what they begin to do. Now nothing will be withheld from them, which they intend to do.
7 Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another's speech."
8 So the Lord scattered them abroad from there on the surface of all the earth. They stopped building the city.
9 Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth. From there, the Lord scattered them abroad on the surface of all the earth.
3 Now if we put bits into the horses' mouths so that they may obey us, we guide their whole body.
4 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.
5 So the tongue is also a little member, and boasts great things. See how a small fire can spread to a large forest!
6 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 hell.
