3 ^aDoes it seem good to you to oppress,
to despise ^bthe work of your hands
^cand favor the designs of the wicked?

Job 12:6

6 ^dThe tents of robbers are at peace,

Psalms 34:13

13 ^fKeep your tongue from evil
and your lips from ^gspeaking deceit.

Malachi 3:13

13 ^h“Your words have been hard against me, says the Lord. ⁱBut you say, ‘How have we spoken against you?’

James 1:26

26 If anyone thinks he is religious ^jand does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s ^kreligion is worthless.

James 3:2-6

2 For ^lwe all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, ^mhe is a perfect man, ⁿable also to bridle his whole body. 3 If we put ^obits into the mouths of horses so that they obey us, we guide their whole bodies as well. 4 Look at the ships also: though they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs. 5 So also the tongue is a small member, yet ^pit boasts of great things.

How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire! 6 And ^qthe tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, ^rstaining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, ^{▼▼Or wheel of birth} and set on fire by hell. ^{▼▼Greek Gehenna}
