Hath one tried a word with thee? -- Thou art weary! And to keep in words who is able?

Also I -- I withhold not my mouth -- I speak in the distress of my spirit, I talk in the bitterness of my soul.

In the abundance of words transgression ceaseth not, And whoso is restraining his lips [is] wise.

So then, my brethren beloved, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger,

Turn unto me, and be astonished, And put hand to mouth.

Lo, I have been vile, What do I return to Thee? My hand I have placed on my mouth.

and they say to him, 'Keep silent, lay thy hand on thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us for a father and for a priest: is it better thy being a priest to the house of one man, or thy being priest to a tribe and to a family in Israel?'

If thou hast been foolish in lifting up thyself, And if thou hast devised evil -- hand to mouth!
