士夫生世間　斧在口中生
還自斬其身　斯由其惡言
應毀便稱譽　應譽而便毀
其罪口中生　死則墮惡道

When a person is born into the world, / An axe is born in their mouth; / With it they strike their own body, / And this is due to their evil speech. / What should be censured, they praise; / What should be praised, they censure. / Such guilt is born of the mouth; / At death, they fall into the evil destinies.
