謹慎守口的，得保生命；大張嘴唇的，必致敗亡。

嘴唇的過錯是惡人的圈套；但義人必脫離患難。

節制言語的，有見識；性情溫良的人，有聰明。愚妄人若靜默不言，可算為智慧，閉上嘴唇也可算為聰明。

多言多語難免有過；節制嘴唇是有智慧。

若有人自以為虔誠，卻不勒住自己的舌頭，反欺騙自己的心，這人的虔誠是徒然的。

生死在舌頭的掌握之下，喜愛弄舌的，必吃它所結的果實。

原來我們在許多事上都有過失；若有人在言語上沒有過失，他就是完全的人，也能勒住自己的全身。我們若把嚼環放在馬嘴裏使牠們馴服，就能控制牠們的全身。再看船隻，雖然甚大，又被強風猛吹，只用小小的舵就隨着掌舵的意思轉動。同樣，舌頭是小肢體，卻能說大話。看哪，最小的火能點燃最大的樹林。舌頭就是火。在我們百體中，舌頭是個不義的世界，能玷污全身，也能燒燬生命的輪子，而且是被地獄的火點燃的。各類的走獸、飛禽、爬蟲、水族，本來都可以制伏，也已經被人制伏了；惟獨舌頭沒有人能制伏，是永不靜止的邪惡，充滿了害死人的毒氣。我們用舌頭頌讚我們的主－我們的天父，又用舌頭詛咒照着上帝形像被造的人。頌讚和詛咒從同一個口出來。我的弟兄們，這是不應該的。泉源能從一個出口發出甜苦兩樣的水嗎？我的弟兄們，無花果樹能生橄欖嗎？葡萄樹能結無花果嗎？鹹水也不能流出甜水來。你們中間誰是有智慧有見識的呢？他就當在智慧的溫柔上顯出他的善行來。
