7.59

士夫生世間　斧在口中生
還自斬其身　斯由其惡言
應毀便稱譽　應譽而更毀
其罪口中生　死則墮惡道

When a man is born into the world, / an axe is born within his mouth, / with which he strikes down his own body, / and this is caused by his evil speech. / What should be condemned, he praises; / what should be praised, he conversely condemns. / Such guilt is born from the mouth; / upon death, he falls into the evil realms.
