TSK · Proverbs 18:21

"Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says Yahweh; "I will set him in safety from those who malign him."

The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but the perverse tongue will be cut off.

An evil man is trapped by sinfulness of lips, but the righteous shall come out of trouble.

The words of a man's mouth are like deep waters. The fountain of wisdom is like a flowing brook.

I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off and to him who is near," says Yahweh; "and I will heal them."

How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? How will they believe in him whom they have not heard? How will they hear without a preacher?

It is no great thing therefore if his servants also masquerade as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

And the tongue is a fire. The world of iniquity among our members is the tongue, which defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature, and is set on fire by Gehenna.
