Proverbs 21:23

American Standard Version 2015

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue\par\tab Keepeth his soul from troubles.

See the chapter Copy

He that guardeth his mouth keepeth his life; {\i But} he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue;\par\tab 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.

In the transgression of the lips is a snare to the evil man;\par\tab But the righteous shall come out of trouble.

In the multitude of words there wanteth not transgression;\par\tab But he that refraineth his lips doeth wisely.

Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth;\par\tab Keep the door of my lips.

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil:\par\tab He that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
