Proverbs 18:21 (AMP)

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].

Proverbs 10:31 (AMP)

31 The mouths of the righteous (those harmonious with God) bring forth skillful and godly Wisdom, but the perverse tongue shall be cut down [like a barren and rotten tree].

Proverbs 15:2 (AMP)

2 The tongue of the wise utters knowledge rightly, but the mouth of the [self-confident] fool pours out folly.

Psalm 71:24 (AMP)

24 My tongue also shall talk of Your righteousness all the day long; for they are put to shame, for they are confounded, who seek and demand my hurt.

Proverbs 21:23 (AMP)

23 He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from troubles.

James 1:26 (AMP)

26 If anyone thinks himself to be religious (piously observant of the external duties of his faith) and does not bridle his tongue but deludes his own heart, this person’s religious service is worthless (futile, barren).

James 3:6-10 (AMP)

6 And the tongue is a fire. [The tongue is a] world of wickedness set among our members, contaminating and depraving the whole body and setting on fire the wheel of birth (the cycle of man’s nature), being itself ignited by hell (Gehenna). 7 For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea animal, can be tamed and has been tamed by human genius (nature). 8 But the human tongue can be tamed by no man. It is a restless (undisciplined, irreconcilable) evil, full of deadly poison. 9 With it we bless the Lord and Father, and with it we curse men who were made in God’s likeness! 10 Out of the same mouth come forth blessing and cursing. These things, my brethren, ought not to be so.

1 Peter 3:10 (AMP)

10 For let him who wants to enjoy life and see good days [good—whether apparent or not] keep his tongue free from evil and his lips from guile (treachery, deceit).

Matthew 12:35-37 (AMP)

35 The good man from his inner good treasure flings forth good things, and the evil man out of his inner evil storehouse flings forth evil things. 36 But I tell you, on the day of judgment men will have to give account for every idle (inoperative, nonworking) word they speak. 37 For by your words you will be justified and acquitted, and by your words you will be condemned and sentenced.

Ephesians 4:29 (AMP)

29 Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth, but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God’s favor) to those who hear it.

Colossians 4:6 (AMP)

6 Let your speech at all times be gracious (pleasant and winsome), seasoned [as it were] with salt, [so that you may never be at a loss] to know how you ought to answer anyone [who puts a question to you].

Proverbs 10:19 (AMP)

19 In a multitude of words transgression is not lacking, but he who restrains his lips is prudent.

Ecclesiastes 10:12-14 (AMP)

12 The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious and win him favor, but the lips of a fool consume him. 13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness, and the end of his talk is wicked madness. 14 A fool also multiplies words, though no man can tell what will be—and what will happen after he is gone, who can tell him?

6387 Two Jesters On Errand

There is a story in the Jewish Talmud about a king who sent two jesters on an errand. In instructing them, he said, “Foolish Simon, go and bring me back the best thing in the world. And you Silly John, go and find for me the worst thing in the world.”

Both clowns were back in short order, each carrying a package.

Simon bowed low and grinned. “Behold, Sire, the best thing in the world.” His package contained a tongue.

John snickered and quickly unwrapped his bundle. “The worst thing in the world, Sire.” Another tongue!

Proverbs 4:23 (AMP)

23 Keep and guard your heart with all vigilance and above all that you guard, for out of it flow the springs of life.

Psalm 141:3 (AMP)

3 Set a guard, O Lord, before my mouth; keep watch at the door of my lips.

Psalm 17:3 (AMP)

3 You have proved my heart; You have visited me in the night; You have tried me and find nothing [no evil purpose in me]; I have purposed that my mouth shall not transgress.

Psalm 19:14 (AMP)

14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my [firm, impenetrable] Rock and my Redeemer.

Ecclesiastes 5:2 (AMP)

2 Be not rash with your mouth, and let not your heart be hasty to utter a word before God. For God is in heaven, and you are on earth; therefore let your words be few.

Matthew 15:18 (AMP)

18 But whatever comes out of the mouth comes from the heart, and this is what makes a man unclean and defiles [him].

Luke 6:45 (AMP)

45 The upright (honorable, intrinsically good) man out of the good treasure [stored] in his heart produces what is upright (honorable and intrinsically good), and the evil man out of the evil storehouse brings forth that which is depraved (wicked and intrinsically evil); for out of the abundance (overflow) of the heart his mouth speaks.

James 5:9 (AMP)

9 Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you [yourselves] may not be judged. Look! The Judge is [already] standing at the very door.

Psalm 34:1 (AMP)

1 [A Psalm] of David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him out, and he went away. I WILL bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
