15.19

佛告阿難　人生世間　禍從口出
當護於口　甚於猛火　猛火熾然
燒世間財　惡口熾然　燒七聖財
一切眾生　禍從口出　鑿身之斧
滅身之禍

The Buddha addressed Ānanda:
Human life in the world—calamity emerges from the mouth.
One should guard the mouth
More strictly than fierce fire.
When a fierce fire blazes,
It burns worldly wealth;
When harsh speech blazes,
It burns the seven noble treasures.
For all sentient beings,
Calamity emerges from the mouth;
It is the axe that cleaves the body,
The disaster that destroys the person.
