Kabbalah Mikha 7:5: Zohar

אַל־תַּאֲמִ֣ינוּ בְרֵ֔עַ אַֽל־תִּבְטְח֖וּ בְּאַלּ֑וּף מִשֹּׁכֶ֣בֶת חֵיקֶ֔ךָ שְׁמֹ֖ר פִּתְחֵי־פִֽיךָ׃

Janganlah kamu percaya kepada teman, janganlah kamu mengandalkan sahabat karib; jagalah pintu mulutmu terhadap dia yang berbaring di pangkuanmu.

Zohar

An improper word, however, a word uttered by an evil tongue, goes up to its assigned spot, where it is put on record, charging the man with the commission of a sin. Of this Scripture says: “Keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom”1i.e. the soul. (Micah 7, 5). Hence the Psalm says: “Happy is the man unto whom the Lord counteth not iniquity”, to wit, the man “in whose spirit there is no guile”.1The last 7 lines of the Hebrew text are not found in our translation.
