Jeremiah 9:3-8
They bent their tongues like their bows; lies and not faithfulness prevail in the land, for they proceed from one evil to another, and they do not take Me into account. This is the Lord’s declaration.Everyone has to be on guard against his friend. Don’t trust any brother, for every brother will certainly deceive, and every friend spread slander.Each one betrays his friend; no one tells the truth. They have taught their tongues to speak lies; they wear themselves out doing wrong.You live in a world of deception. In their deception they refuse to know Me. This is the Lord’s declaration.Therefore, this is what the Lord of Hosts says: I am about to refine them and test them, for what else can I do because of My dear people?Their tongues are deadly arrows— they speak deception. With his mouth a man speaks peaceably with his friend, but inwardly he sets up an ambush.

James 3:6-10
And the tongue is a fire. The tongue, a world of unrighteousness, is placed among the parts of our bodies. It pollutes the whole body, sets the course of life on fire, and is set on fire by hell.Every sea creature, reptile, bird, or animal is tamed and has been tamed by man,but no man can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.We praise our Lord and Father with it, and we curse men who are made in God’s likeness with it.Praising and cursing come out of the same mouth. My brothers, these things should not be this way.

Open your mouth and eat what I am giving you.”

Brood of vipers! How can you speak good things when you are evil?
