| Words from the mouth of a wise person are gracious, while the lips of a fool consume him. | Words spoken by the wise bring them favor, but the lips of fools consume them. |
| When there are many words, wrongdoing is unavoidable, But one who restrains his lips is wise. | When words are many, transgression is not lacking, but the prudent are restrained in speech. |
| But I tell you that for every careless word that people speak, they will give an account of it on the day of judgment. | I tell you, on the day of judgment you will have to give an account for every careless word you utter. |
| “No weapon that is formed against you will succeed; And you will condemn every tongue that accuses you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, And their vindication is from Me,” declares the Lord. | No weapon that is fashioned against you shall prosper, and you shall confute every tongue that rises against you in judgment. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord and their vindication from me, says the Lord. |
| This is what the Lord of armies has said: ‘Dispense true justice and practice kindness and compassion each to his brother; and do not oppress the widow or the orphan, the stranger or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another.’ | Thus says the Lord of hosts: Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another; do not oppress the widow, the orphan, the alien, or the poor; and do not devise evil in your hearts against one another. |
