Proverbs 15:4The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life,
but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.
James 3
5Likewise the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.
9With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in Godâs likeness. 10Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be.
