Musar do Przysłów 13:3
נֹצֵ֣ר פִּ֭יו שֹׁמֵ֣ר נַפְשׁ֑וֹ פֹּשֵׂ֥ק שְׂ֝פָתָ֗יו מְחִתָּה־לֽוֹ׃
Kto ust swych strzeże zachowuje życie swoje; kto wargi swe rozwiera, temu grozi ruina.
Shemirat HaLashon
And, King Solomon, may peace be upon him, said in a similar vein (Mishlei 13:3): "One who widens his lips— it is 'breaking' for him," which the GRA explains: "One who widens his lips [in lashon hara], though he has a good soul, and though he has done many mitzvoth and [built] many 'fences,' his mouth will break everything."
