The mouths of those who do right produce wisdom. But tongues that speak twisted words will be made silent.

What foolish people say leads to arguing. They are just asking for a beating.The words of foolish people drag them down. They are trapped by what they say.

An evil troublemaker goes around saying twisted things with his mouth.He winks with his eyes. He makes signals with his feet. He motions with his fingers.His plans are evil, and he has lies in his heart. He is always stirring up fights.Trouble will catch up with him in an instant. He will suddenly be destroyed, and nothing can save him.

To those who are pure you show that you are pure. But to those whose paths are crooked you show that you are clever.

Wise people say gracious things. But foolish people are destroyed by what their own lips speak.

Wise people store up knowledge. But the mouths of foolish people destroy them.

The Lord really hates sinful people. But he makes honest people his closest friends.

An evil wink gets you into trouble. And foolish chattering destroys you.

To have respect for the Lord is to hate evil. I hate pride and bragging. I hate evil ways and twisted words.

The tongue is also a fire. The tongue is the most evil part of the body. It makes the whole body impure. It sets a person’s whole way of life on fire. And the tongue itself is set on fire by hell.People have tamed all kinds of wild animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures. And they still tame them.But no one can tame the tongue. It is an evil thing that never rests. It is full of deadly poison.
