¹⁰ But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

³³ If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.

39 I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.

³ Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips.

¹⁹ In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

¹² He that is void of wisdom despiseth his neighbour: but a man of understanding holdeth his peace.

²⁷ He that hath knowledge spareth his words: and a man of understanding is of an excellent spirit.

² Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.
