13 (A)The wicked is ensnared by the transgression of his lips,(B)But the righteous will come through trouble.
3 (A)He who guards his mouth preserves his life,But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.
21 (A)Death and life are in the power of the tongue,And those who love it will eat its fruit.
2 For (A)we all stumble in many things. (B)If anyone does not stumble in word, (C)he is a [a]perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.
