Texts: 10:18-19, “He who conceals his hatred has lying lips, and whoever spreads slander is a fool. When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.” 10:31-32, “The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, but a perverse tongue will be cut out. The lips of the righteous know what is fitting, but the mouth of the wicked only what is perverse.” 12:13-14, “An evil man is trapped by his sinful talk, but a righteous man escapes trouble. From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things as surely as the work of his hands rewards him.” 12:17-18, “A truthful witness gives honest testimony, but a false witness tells lies. Reckless words pierce like a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.” 15:1, “A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.” 15:4, “The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.” 16:23, “A wise man’s heart guides his mouth, and his lips promote instruction.” 16:28, “A perverse man stirs up dissension, and a gossip separates close friends.” 18:13, “He who answers before listening—that is his folly and his shame.” 18:21, “The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.” 24:26, “An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.” 25:11-15, “A word aptly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. Like an earring of gold or an ornament of fine gold is a wise man’s rebuke to a listening ear. Like the coolness of snow at harvest time is a trustworthy messenger to those who send him; he refreshes the spirit of his masters. Like clouds and wind without rain is a man who boasts of gifts he does not give. Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.”
