Proverbs 13:3

3 ^aWhoever guards his mouth preserves his life;
^bhe who opens wide his lips ^ccomes to ruin.

5 The righteous hates falsehood,
but the wicked brings shame ^{▼▼Or stench} and disgrace.

25 ^eThe fear of man lays a snare,
but whoever trusts in the Lord is safe.

25 Therefore, having put away falsehood, let each one of you ^fspeak the truth with his neighbor, for ^gwe are members one of another.
