But the things going forth out of the mouth come from the heart, and these pollute the man.
The words of his mouth vanity and deceit: he ceased to be circumspect, to do good.
The lips of the just one shall know acceptance: and the mouth of the unjust, perverseness.
The tongue of the wise will make knowledge good: and the mouth of the foolish will gush forth folly.
The heart of the just one shall meditate to answer: and the mouth of the unjust shall gush out evil.
Guard thy heart with all watching, for from it the goings forth of life.
A man of Belial, a man of iniquity, goes with perverseness of mouth.
O generation of vipers! how can ye speak good things, being evil? for out of the abundance of the heart the month speaks.
Not that coming into the mouth pollutes the man; but that going forth out of the mouth, this pollutes the man.
Do ye not yet understand, that everything going into the mouth proceeds to the belly, and is cast out in the privy?
And he said, That going out of a man, that pollutes a man.
And he said to him, Out of thy month will I judge thee, O evil servant. Thou knewest that I am an austere man, taking up what I laid not down, and reaping what I sowed not:
As the ancient parable will say, Injustice will go forth from the unjust; and my hand shall not be upon thee.
