TSK · Proverbs 10:11

The godly speak wise words and promote justice.

Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but the speech of the wicked conceals violence.

The lips of the righteous know what is pleasing, but the speech of the wicked is perverse.

Speech that heals is like a life-giving tree, but a perverse speech breaks the spirit.

Insight is like a life-giving fountain to the one who possesses it, but folly leads to the discipline of fools.

There is gold, and an abundance of rubies, but words of knowledge are like a precious jewel.

Offspring of vipers! How are you able to say anything good, since you are evil? For the mouth speaks from what fills the heart.

So too the tongue is a small part of the body, yet it has great pretensions. Think how small a flame sets a huge forest ablaze.
