Be careful what goes into your mouth.
Be careful what comes out of your mouth.
The tongue has two gates.
The king has a terrible prisoner in his dungeon.
He knows that if this prisoner is set loose, he will cause terrible destruction,
Is one gate enough to contain this potential destroyer?
No, the king puts two fences around him to protect the kingdom.
The Master of the Universe has put two gates in front of our tongue,
the potential destroyer, a gate of flesh (the lips) and a stronger gate of bone (the teeth).

"The power we wield when we speak is far beyond what we can perceive.
