v. 3. He that keepeth his mouth, that no evil, sinful speeches issue therefrom, keepeth his life; but he that openeth wide his lips, permitting the evil thoughts of his heart to issue in the form of malignant speeches, shall have destruction, bringing it upon himself as the inevitable consequence of his foolish or sinful indiscretion.
