207 Preface
223 ‘1. “Praiseworthy is the person who fears Hashem and
greatly desires His mitzvot” (Tehilim 112:1). In this
chapter I will list twenty statements that deal with
the enormity of the reward for those who discipline
themselves and guard the words that come out of
their mouths.

tongue protects his soul from sufferings.” In this
chapter I will list twenty statements describing the
extensiveness of the damage and the severity of
the ruination and punishment that will befall the
person who stumbles into this sin of using forbidden
speech.
257 ‘3. A call to guarding one’s tongue, and the remedy of
Teshuvah available to those who have slipped into
this sin.

responsibility of mitzvot correctly.
