57.8

惡言罵詈 憍𣣋篾人 興起是行
嫉怨滋生 遜言慎辭 尊敬於人
棄結忍惡 嫉怨自滅 夫士之生
斧在口中 所以斬身 由其惡言

"Speaking evil and reviling others, / arrogant, overbearing, and scorning men; / when such conduct is aroused, / jealousy and resentment flourish.
Modest words and cautious phrases, / showing reverence to others; / discarding bonds and enduring evil, / jealousy and resentment naturally perish.
A man is born / with an axe in his mouth; / that which hacks his own body / arises from his evil words."
