Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.
For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.
I said, I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue: I will keep my mouth with a bridle, while the wicked is before me.
