7 For every kind of beasts and birds, of creeping things and things in the sea, is tamed, and has been tamed by mankind.
8 But the tongue no man can tame; [it is] a restless evil, [it is] full of deadly poison.
15 By long forbearing is a ruler persuaded, And a soft tongue breaks the bone.
9 Therefore God also highly exalted him, and gave to him the name which is above every name;
10 that in the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of [those] in heaven and [those] on earth and [those] under the earth,
11 and that every tongue should confess, The Lord Jesus Christ, to the glory of God the Father.
12 What man is he who desires life, And loves [many] days, that he may see good?
13 Keep your tongue from evil, And your lips from speaking guile.
1 If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but don't have love, I have become sounding bronze, or a clanging cymbal.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And those who love it will eat its fruit.
9 Destroy, O Lord, [and] divide their tongue; For I have seen violence and strife in the city.
19 The lip of truth will be established forever; But a lying tongue is but for a moment.
2 Deliver my soul, O Yahweh, from lying lips, [And] from a deceitful tongue.
1 For the Chief Musician, for Jeduthun. A Psalm of David. I said, I will take heed to my ways, That I don't sin with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, While the wicked is before me.
19 In the multitude of words transgression does not cease; But he who refrains his lips does wisely.
2 For in many things we all stumble. If any doesn't stumble in word, the same is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body also.
9 With it we bless the Lord and Father; and with it we curse men, who are made after the likeness of God:
10 out of the same mouth comes forth blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.
11 Does the fountain send forth from the same opening sweet [water] and bitter?
12 Can a fig tree, my brothers, yield olives, or a vine figs? Neither [can] salt water yield sweet.
26 If any man thinks himself to be religious, while he doesn't bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this man's religion is useless.
28 Even a fool, when he holds his peace, is counted wise; When he shuts his lips, he is [esteemed as] prudent.
30 The mouth of the righteous talks of wisdom, And his tongue speaks justice.
31 The law of his God is in his heart; None of his steps will slide.
5 And Yahweh came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of man built.
6 And Yahweh said, Look, they are one people, and they all have one language; and this is what they begin to do: and now nothing will be withheld 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 Yahweh scattered them abroad from there on the face of all the earth: and they left off building the city.
9 Therefore the name of it was called Babel; because there Yahweh confounded the language of all the earth: and from there Yahweh scattered them abroad on the face of all the earth.
28 And my tongue will talk of your righteousness [And] of your praise all the day long.
3 Yahweh will cut off all flattering lips, The tongue that speaks great things;
4 Who have said, With our tongue we will prevail; Our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
4 For there is not a word in my tongue, But, look, O Yahweh, you know it altogether.
18 There is one who speaks rashly like the piercings of a sword; But the tongue of the wise is health.
3 Now if we put the horses' bridles into their mouths that they may obey us, we turn about their whole body also.
4 Look, the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by rough winds, are yet turned about by a very small rudder, where the impulse of the helmsman wills.
5 So the tongue also is a little member, and boasts great things. Look, how much wood is kindled by how small a fire!
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 wheel of nature, and is set on fire by hell.
