Give not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin: and say not before the angel: There is no providence: lest God be angry at thy words, and destroy all the works of thy hands.

You should not use your mouth so as to cause your flesh to sin. And you should not say, in the sight of an Angel, “There is no Providence.” For God, being angry at your words, may scatter all the works of your hands.1
  1. 5:5Angels are the ministers of God’s Providence, and the Virgin Mary is Queen of God’s Providence and of His Angels.(Conte)
