Proverbs 10:31 “The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.”

The execution of the torture followed a similar pattern throughout the ages. The head of the victim was held, often in a restraining frame or cage. The mouth was forced open (the Mediaeval
Inquisition used a clamp to hold the jaw wide), and the tongue pulled out with tongs or hooks. A sharp, often curved knife was inserted into the mouth and under the tongue, and the organ was sliced across
