Have you been often spoken to in distress? But who shall endure the force of your words?

Then neither will I refrain my mouth; I will speak being in distress; being in anguish I will disclose the bitterness of my soul.

By a multitude of words you shall not escape sin, but if you refrain your lips you will be prudent.

So then, my beloved brothers, let every man be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;

Look upon me and wonder, laying your hand upon your cheek.

[ 39:34] Why do I yet plead? Being rebuked even while reproving the Lord: hearing such things, whereas I am nothing: and what shall I answer to these [arguments]? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.

And they said to him, Be silent, lay your hand upon your mouth, and come with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for you to be the priest of the house of one man, or to be the priest of a tribe and house for a family of Israel?

If you abandon yourself to mirth, and stretch forth your hand in a quarrel, you shall be disgraced.
