In the New Testament James says that the tongue is the thing that gets people into all kinds of trouble. We find that first pointed out here in the book of Proverbs. Proverbs 13:2-3 is one of several places where the writer of Proverbs points out the dangers of the mouth (lips). Our words are powerful things if controlled they bring life, misused brings disaster.
To put it another way, be mindful of the words you speak because you never know which words you might have to eat.
