Proverbs 10:19
When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.

Probably not one of the most important verses about the tongue, but I stuck it in here because it’s been so (painfully) true in my life. So I’ve just tried to not say anything — me, trying to tame my tongue. But it’s worked better, if I can remember to, to ask God to take control, to show me when to speak and what to say. And to be more interested in the person I’m talking to. Usually my “many words” are just (ugh, ouch) me trying to make me look good, anyway.
