謹守口的，得保生命；大張嘴的，必致敗亡。

惡人嘴中的過錯是自己的網羅；但義人必脫離患難。

寡少言語的，有知識；性情溫良的，有聰明。愚昧人若靜默不言也可算為智慧；閉口不說也可算為聰明。

多言多語難免有過；禁止嘴唇是有智慧。

若有人自以為虔誠，卻不勒住他的舌頭，反欺哄自己的心，這人的虔誠是虛的。

生死在舌頭的權下，喜愛它的，必吃它所結的果子。

原來我們在許多事上都有過失；若有人在話語上沒有過失，他就是完全人，也能勒住自己的全身。我們若把嚼環放在馬嘴裏，叫牠順服，就能調動牠的全身。看哪，船隻雖然甚大，又被大風催逼，只用小小的舵，就隨着掌舵的意思轉動。這樣，舌頭在百體裏也是最小的，卻能說大話。看哪，最小的火能點着最大的樹林。舌頭就是火，在我們百體中，舌頭是個罪惡的世界，能污穢全身，也能把生命的輪子點起來，並且是從地獄裏點着的。各類的走獸、飛禽、昆蟲、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，是不止息的惡物，滿了害死人的毒氣。我們用舌頭頌讚那為主、為父的，又用舌頭咒詛那照着神形像被造的人。頌讚和咒詛從一個口裏出來！我的弟兄們，這是不應當的！泉源從一個眼裏能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？鹹水裏也不能發出甜水來。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。
