70.15

又緣其兩舌言輒麁惡。今身緣以惡口故。鬪亂殘害。更相侵伐。殺諸眾生。死即當墮刀兵地獄。於遐劫中受諸苦惱。受苦既畢墮畜生中。拔脚賣膀輸髀喪胛。於遐劫中受諸苦惱。受苦既畢。在此之中。無量生死。以本因緣。若遇微善。劣復人身。四支不具。閽刖剠劓。形骸殘毀。鬼神不衛。人所輕棄。當知殘害眾生皆緣惡口。

Furthermore, because of divisive speech, one's words are always coarse and harsh. Because of harsh speech in the present life, one incites strife and harm, mutual attack, and slaughters various sentient beings. Upon death, one will fall into the Hell of Weapons, undergoing various pains and afflictions for distant kalpas. Once this suffering has ended, one falls among animals, having one's legs pulled off, shoulders sold, thighs handed over, and shoulder blades destroyed, undergoing various pains and afflictions for distant kalpas. Once this suffering has ended, within this state one undergoes immeasurable births and deaths. By the original cause, if one encounters slight goodness, one may barely regain a human body, but with the four limbs incomplete, castrated, having feet amputated, tattooed, or having one's nose cut off, one's physical form mutilated, unshielded by spirits, and despised and discarded by people. One should know that mutilating and harming sentient beings is entirely due to harsh speech.
