Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue Keepeth his soul from troubles.
He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from troubles. [Prov. 12:13; 13:3; 18:21; James 3:2.]
Those who guard their mouths and their tongues guard themselves from trouble.
Whoever guards his mouth and his tongue guards his soul from anguish.
He that keepeth his mouth and his tongue, keepeth his soul from distress.
Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; Keep the door of my lips.
In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression: But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.
In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man: But the righteous shall come out of trouble.
He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his life: But he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.
The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: He that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.
If any man thinketh himself to be religious, while he bridleth not his tongue but deceiveth his heart, this man's religion is vain.
