PROVERBS 11:9a
With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor.
PROVERBS 11:11
By the blessing of the upright a city is exalted, but by the mouth of the wicked it is torn down.
PROVERBS 10:11-12
The mouth of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the mouth of the wicked conceals violence. Hatred stirs up strife, but love covers all transgressions.
PROVERBS 10:20a
The tongue of the righteous is as choice silver.
PROVERBS 12:18 NLT
Some people make cutting remarks, but the words of the wise bring healing.
PROVERBS 15:1
A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
PROVERBS 15:4 NLT
Gentle words are a tree of life; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.
PROVERBS 13:3
The one who guards his mouth preserves his life; the one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
PROVERBS 21:23
He who guards his mouth and his tongue, guards his soul from troubles.
PROVERBS 18:6-7 NLT
Fools’ words get them into constant quarrels; they are asking for a beating. The mouths of fools are their ruin; they trap themselves with their lips.
EPHESIANS 4:29
Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.
PROVERBS 10:19
When there are many words, transgression is unavoidable, but he who restrains his lips is wise.
PROVERBS 15:28
The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
PROVERBS 17:27-28
He who restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding. Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is considered wise; when he closes his lips, he is considered prudent.
PROVERBS 29:11
A fool always loses his temper, but a wise man holds it back.
PROVERBS 29:20
Do you see a man who is hasty in his words? There is more hope for a fool than for him.
PROVERBS 16:32
He who is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he who rules his spirit, than he who captures a city.
PROVERBS 19:11
A man’s discretion makes him slow to anger, and it is his glory to overlook a transgression.
