²² Without counsel `is' the making void of purposes, And in a multitude of counsellors it is established.

¹⁹ In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips `is' wise.

¹⁵ `And if thy brother may sin against thee, go and show him his fault between thee and him alone, if he may hear thee, thou didst gain thy brother;

¹³ A busybody is revealing secret counsel, And the faithful of spirit is covering the matter.

¹ Give ye thanks to Jehovah -- call ye in His name, Make known among the peoples His acts.

⁷ `And -- praying -- ye may not use vain repetitions like the nations, for they think that in their much speaking they shall be heard,

²¹ Death and life `are' in the power of the tongue, And those loving it eat its fruit.

⁹ not giving back evil for evil, or railing for railing, and on the contrary, blessing, having known that to this ye were called, that a blessing ye may inherit;

²³ Joy `is' to a man in the answer of his mouth, And a word in its season -- how good!

¹⁸ My little children, may we not love in word nor in tongue, but in word and in truth!

³ Whoso is keeping his mouth, is keeping his soul, Whoso is opening wide his lips -- ruin to him!

⁸ Open thy mouth for the dumb, For the right of all sons of change.

³ because whatever in the darkness ye said, in the light shall be heard: and what to the ear ye spake in the inner-chambers, shall be proclaimed upon the house-tops.

¹ A soft answer turneth back fury, And a grievous word raiseth up anger.

² for we all make many stumbles; if any one in word doth not stumble, this one `is' a perfect man, able to bridle also the whole body;

²⁸ Even a fool keeping silence is reckoned wise, He who is shutting his lips intelligent!

¹² Words of the mouth of the wise `are' gracious, And the lips of a fool swallow him up.

³⁶ `And I say to you, that every idle word that men may speak, they shall give for it a reckoning in a day of judgment;

⁹ that if thou mayest confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and mayest believe in thy heart that God did raise him out of the dead, thou shalt be saved,

⁴ A healed tongue `is' a tree of life, And perverseness in it -- a breach in the spirit.

⁴⁵ `The good man out of the good treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which `is' good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart doth bring forth that which `is' evil; for out of the abounding of the heart doth his mouth speak.

²⁶ And, in like manner also, the Spirit doth help our weaknesses; for, what we may pray for, as it behoveth `us', we have not known, but the Spirit himself doth make intercession for us with groanings unutterable,

⁸ Filled is my mouth `with' Thy praise, All the day `with' Thy beauty.

¹⁹ So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

²⁹ Let no corrupt word out of your mouth go forth, but what is good unto the needful building up, that it may give grace to the hearers;
