If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?

Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:

Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.

Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.

And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: is it better for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?

If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.
