76.22

"Harsh speech is like a poisoned arrow; / Striking an object, it immediately injures and wounds. / Hell opens its gates in anticipation, / Hurling him into caldrons of boiling water. / Cutting off his tongue, forcing him to eat it himself, / The painful suffering is hard to conceive. / If it brings no benefit to oneself, / What harm is there in guarding one's mouth?"
