14.96

"An evil mouth is like a poisoned arrow; / Striking an object, it wounds and breaks it. / Hell opens its gates and waits, / Plunging [the sinner] into boiling cauldrons. / Severing the tongue to make one eat it oneself, / The torment is difficult to conceive. / If it brings no benefit to the body, / What harm is there in guarding one's mouth?"
