If one attempts a word with you, will you become weary? But who can restrain words?

Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the distress of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

In the abundance of words there is no end of transgression, but he who restrains his lips is prudent.

So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath;

Look at me and be astonished; put your hand over your mouth.

Behold, I have been vile! What shall I answer You? I have put my hand to my mouth.

And they said to him, Be quiet, put your hand over your mouth, and come with us; be a father and a priest to us. Is it better for you to be a priest to the household of one man, or that you be a priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?

If you have done foolishly in exalting yourself, or if you have devised evil, lay your hand over your mouth.
