• Matthew 12:34-37
  Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
   
• Hebrews 4:13
  And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
   
• James 3:2-12
  For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. Indeed, we put bits in horses' mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.
   
• Psalm 50:19-21
  You give your mouth to evil,
  And your tongue frames deceit.
  You sit and speak against your brother;
  You slander your own mother’s son.
  These things you have done, and I kept silent;
  You thought that I was altogether like you;
  But I will rebuke you,
  And set them in order before your eyes.
   
• Ecclesiastes 5:1-3
  Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil.
  Do not be rash with your mouth,
  And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God.
  For God is in heaven, and you on earth;
  Therefore let your words be few.
  For a dream comes through much activity,
  And a fool's voice is known by his many words.
  
   
• Ecclesiastes 5:6-7
  Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands? For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity. But fear God.
   
• Romans 3:13
  " Their throat is an open tomb;
  With their tongues they have practiced deceit";
  " The poison of asps is under their lips";

• Ecclesiastes 8:11-13
  Because the sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet I surely know that it will be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him. But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.
