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

The hearts of the righteous meditate faithfulness, but the mouth of the ungodly answers evil things. [ 15:28A] The ways of righteous men are acceptable with the Lord, and through them even enemies become friends.

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

For we all stumble in many [ways]. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a mature man, able also to bridle the whole body.

A man slow to anger is better than a strong man, and he that governs [his] temper better than he that takes a city.

The words of the wise are heard in quiet more than the cry of them that rule in folly.

Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those making peace.
