57.8

"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."
