Words of My Mouth

Let no unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building up the one in need and bringing grace to those who listen.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

But I tell you that men will give an account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.

Life and death are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.

Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.

For by your words you will be acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned.”

He who guards his mouth and tongue keeps his soul from distress.

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

A soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.
