Matthew 12:34-36
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
34 Brood of vipers! How are you able to speak good things, being evil? For the mouth speaks out of the abundance of the heart— 35 the good person brings out good things from his good treasure[a], and the evil person brings out evil things from his evil treasure. 36 And I say to you that every useless[b] word which people will speak— they will render an account for it on the day of judgment.

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.
