Remove from thee a froward mouth, and let detracting lips be far from thee.
And if any man think himself to be religious, not bridling his tongue, but deceiving his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
All my words are just, there is nothing wicked nor perverse in them.
Wherefore casting away all uncleanness, and abundance of naughtiness, with meekness receive the ingrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
The fear of the Lord hateth evil: I hate arrogance, and pride, and every wicked way, and a mouth with a double tongue.
Wherefore laying away all malice, and all guile, and dissimulations, and envies, and all detractions,
A man that is an apostate, an unprofitable man, walketh with a perverse mouth,
Conflicts of men corrupted in mind, and who are destitute of the truth, supposing gain to be godliness.
But now put you also all away: anger, indignation, malice, blasphemy, filthy speech out of your mouth.
Cast away from you all your transgressions, by which you have transgressed, and make to yourselves a new heart and a new spirit: and why will you die, O house of Israel?
He that is of a perverse heart, shall not find good: and he that perverteth his tongue, shall fall into evil.
If thou wilt put away from thee the iniquity that is in thy hand, and lot not injustice remain in thy tabernacle:
Let thy eyes look straight on, and let thy eyelids go before thy steps.
The lips of the just consider what is acceptable: and the mouth of the wicked uttereth perverse things.
Better is the poor man, that walketh in his simplicity, than a rich man that is perverse in his lips, and unwise.
As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.
