The tongue of the wise treats knowledge correctly, but the mouth of the fool spouts out folly.

When words abound, transgression is inevitable, but the one who restrains his words is wise.

And the tongue is a fire! The tongue represents the world of wrongdoing among the parts of our bodies. It pollutes the entire body and sets fire to the course of human existence– and is set on fire by hell.For every kind of animal, bird, reptile, and sea creature is subdued and has been subdued by humankind.But no human being can subdue the tongue; it is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.

The words of a wise person win him favor, but the words of a fool are self-destructive.At the beginning his words are foolish and at the end his talk is wicked madness,yet a fool keeps on babbling. No one knows what will happen; who can tell him what will happen in the future?

For there are many rebellious people, idle talkers, and deceivers, especially those with Jewish connections,who must be silenced because they mislead whole families by teaching for dishonest gain what ought not to be taught.

A wise person’s heart makes his speech wise and it adds persuasiveness to his words.

The king said,“ One says,‘ My son is alive; your son is dead,’ while the other says,‘ No, your son is dead; my son is alive.’”The king ordered,“ Get me a sword!” So they placed a sword before the king.The king then said,“ Cut the living child in two, and give half to one and half to the other!”The real mother spoke up to the king, for her motherly instincts were aroused. She said,“ My master, give her the living child! Whatever you do, don’t kill him!” But the other woman said,“ Neither one of us will have him! Let them cut him in two!”The king responded,“ Give the first woman the living child; don’t kill him. She is the mother.”When all Israel heard about the judicial decision which the king had rendered, they respected the king, for they realized that he possessed supernatural wisdom to make judicial decisions.
