When a sieve is shaken, the refuse appears; so do a person’s faults when he speaks. 5The kiln tests the potter’s vessels; so the test of a person is in his conversation. 6Its fruit discloses the cultivation of a tree; so a person’s speech discloses the cultivation of his mind.

28:17-18
The blow of a whip raises a welt, but a blow of the tongue crushes the bones. 18Many have fallen by the edge of the sword, but not as many as have fallen because of the tongue.

James 3:2-12
For we all stumble in many ways If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well. 3Now if we put the bits into the horses' mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well. 4Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot desires. 5So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire! 6And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell. 7For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race.

8But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and
full of deadly poison. 9With it we bless our Lord
and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of
God; 10from the same mouth come both blessing and
cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way. 11Does a fountain send
out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water? 12Can
a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a vine produce figs? Nor can salt
water produce fresh.
