Matthew 12:34-36
Holman Christian Standard Bible
34 Brood of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil? For the mouth speaks from the overflow(A) of the heart. 35 A good man produces good things from his storeroom of good,[a] and an evil man produces evil things from his storeroom of evil.(B) 36 I tell you that on the day of judgment(C) people will have to account(D) for every careless word they speak.[b]

Matthew 12:34-36
New International Version
34 You brood of vipers,(A) how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks(B) what the heart is full of. 35 A good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him, and an evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him. 36 But I tell you that everyone will have to give account on the day of judgment for every empty word they have spoken.
