Proverbs 21:23

Lighthouse Bible 2006

He who watches his mouth and his tongue keeps his soul from troubles.

See the chapter Copy

Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

In the multitude of words there is no lack of sin: but he that restrains his lips is wise.

The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble.

He that keeps his mouth keeps his life: but he that opens wide his lips shall have destruction.

The highway of the upright is to depart from evil: he that keeps his way preserves his soul.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and those who love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

If anyone among you seems to be religious, and does not control his tongue, but deceives his own heart, this man’s religion is without benefit.
