You know my heart. You have come to me at night; you have examined me completely and found no evil desire in me. I speak no evil,

I have always walked in your way and have never strayed from it.

I said, "I will be careful about what I do and will not let my tongue make me sin; I will not say anything while evil people are near."

All day long I praise you and proclaim your glory.

Don't believe your neighbor or trust your friend. Be careful what you say even to your husband or wife.

Do any of you think you are religious? If you do not control your tongue, your religion is worthless and you deceive yourself.

All of us often make mistakes. But if a person never makes a mistake in what he says, he is perfect and is also able to control his whole being.
