“For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.”
The acknowledgment that one's own heart knows that one has frequently cursed others normalizes the human tendency to speak unkindly, encouraging humility about judging others' words. The observation that one cannot claim innocence oneself forestalls sanctimonious condemnation. This verse counsels charity and humility; recognizing one's own shortcomings should inhibit harsh judgment of others.
