Proverbs 13:3
New Living Translation (NLT)
3 Those who control their tongue will have a long life;
opening your mouth can ruin everything.
You have not mastered self-control if you do not control what you say. Words can cut and destroy. James recognized this truth when he stated, "The tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts" (James 3:5). If you want to be self-controlled, begin with your tongue. Stop and think before you react or speak. If you can control this small but powerful member, you can control the rest of your body.
