13. That we must not
curse.
In Exodus: “Thou shalt not curse nor speak
ill of the ruler of thy people.”4268 Also in the thirty-third
Psalm: “Who is the man who desires life, and loveth to see
good days? Restrain thy tongue from evil, and thy lips that they
speak no guile.”4269 Of this same thing in
Leviticus: “And the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, Bring
forth him who hath cursed abroad outside the camp; and all who heard
him shall place their hands upon his head, and all the assembly of the
children of Israel shall stone him.”4270 Of this same thing in
Paul’s Epistle to the Ephesians: “Let no evil
discourse proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good for the
edification of faith, that it may give grace to the
hearers.”4271 Of
this same thing to the Romans: “Blessing, and not
cursing.”4272 Of
this same thing in the Gospel according to Matthew: “He who
shall say to his brother, Thou fool! shall be liable to the Gehenna of
fire.”4273 Of
this same matter, according to the same Matthew: “But I say
unto you, That every idle word which men shall speak, they shall give
account for it in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou
shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be
condemned.”4274
