Those who control their tongue will have a long life;opening your mouth can ruin everything. Lazy people want much but get little, but those who work hard will prosper.
Lord, I confess that I often have a problem with my tongue. I am quick to speak and slow to listen, which, I know, is just the opposite of what you instruct.
