A fool’s lips come into strife, and his mouth invites beatings.

The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but a fool is swallowed by his own lips.

Open your mouth for the mute, in the cause of all who are left desolate.

In the multitude of words there is no lack of disobedience, but he who restrains his lips does wisely.

A fool has no delight in understanding, but only in revealing his own opinion.

The tongue of the righteous is like choice silver. The heart of the wicked is of little worth.

You may say in your heart, “How shall we know the word which Yahweh has not spoken?” When a prophet speaks in Yahweh’s name, if the thing doesn’t follow, nor happen, that is the thing which Yahweh has not spoken. The prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You shall not be afraid of him.

In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.

In praying, don’t use vain repetitions as the Gentiles do; for they think that they will be heard for their much speaking.

Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

My mouth shall be filled with your praise, with your honor all day long.

Where there is no counsel, plans fail; but in a multitude of counselors they are established.

I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, ‘Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?’

Even a fool, when he keeps silent, is counted wise. When he shuts his lips, he is thought to be discerning.

The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, but the mouth of the wicked is perverse.

Excellent speech isn’t fitting for a fool, much less do lying lips fit a prince.

Put away from yourself a perverse mouth. Put corrupt lips far from you.

Deliver my soul, Yahweh, from lying lips, from a deceitful tongue.

If your brother sins against you, go, show him his fault between you and him alone. If he listens to you, you have gained back your brother.

In my distress I called on Yahweh, and cried to my God. He heard my voice out of his temple. My cry before him came into his ears.

Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.

He who guards his mouth guards his soul. One who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.

I haven’t gone back from the commandment of his lips. I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

I tell you that every idle word that men speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time!

But above all things, my brothers, don’t swear— not by heaven, or by the earth, or by any other oath; but let your “yes” be “yes”, and your “no”, “no”, so that you don’t fall into hypocrisy.

Lying lips are an abomination to Yahweh, but those who do the truth are his delight.

My little children, let’s not love in word only, or with the tongue only, but in deed and truth.

For no prophecy ever came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

When they lead you away and deliver you up, don’t be anxious beforehand or premeditate what you will say, but say whatever will be given you in that hour. For it is not you who speak, but the Holy Spirit.

Tongues like fire appeared and were distributed to them, and one sat on each of them. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak with other languages, as the Spirit gave them the ability to speak.

But I tell you, don’t swear at all: neither by heaven, for it is the throne of God; nor by the earth, for it is the footstool of his feet; nor by Jerusalem, for it is the city of the great King.

Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but a kind word makes it glad.

Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.

He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds.

I will give thanks to Yahweh with my whole heart. I will tell of all your marvelous works.

The words of a gossip are like dainty morsels: they go down into a person’s innermost parts.

A gentle tongue is a tree of life, but deceit in it crushes the spirit.

He who hides hatred has lying lips. He who utters a slander is a fool.

With his mouth the godless man destroys his neighbor, but the righteous will be delivered through knowledge.

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

One who brings gossip betrays a confidence, but one who is of a trustworthy spirit is one who keeps a secret.

Seek Yahweh and his strength. Seek his face forever more.

Open your mouth, judge righteously, and serve justice to the poor and needy.

Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

Have no fellowship with the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but rather even reprove them. For it is a shame even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret.

So is my word that goes out of my mouth: it will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do.

If your brother sins against you, rebuke him. If he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in the day, and seven times returns, saying, ‘I repent,’ you shall forgive him.

Whatever you do, in word or in deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

I sought Yahweh, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.

Jesus answered them, “Most certainly I tell you, if you have faith and don’t doubt, you will not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you told this mountain, ‘Be taken up and cast into the sea,’ it would be done.”

You are already pruned clean because of the word which I have spoken to you.

But let your ‘Yes’ be ‘Yes’ and your ‘No’ be ‘No.’ Whatever is more than these is of the evil one.

Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.

I heard the Lord’s voice, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here I am. Send me!”

But say the things which fit sound doctrine.

In that day you will say, “Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name! Declare his doings among the peoples! Proclaim that his name is exalted!”

Give thanks to Yahweh! Call on his name! Make his doings known among the peoples.

In the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we don’t know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which can’t be uttered.

In all hard work there is profit, but the talk of the lips leads only to poverty.

God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

By Yahweh’s word, the heavens were made: all their army by the breath of his mouth.

That if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.

When I kept silence, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long.

For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.

Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul, and health to the bones.

Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; those who love it will eat its fruit.

Blessings are on the head of the righteous, but violence covers the mouth of the wicked.

I will bless Yahweh at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.

The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings out that which is good, and the evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings out that which is evil, for out of the abundance of the heart, his mouth speaks.

Not rendering evil for evil or insult for insult; but instead blessing, knowing that you were called to this, that you may inherit a blessing.

For we all stumble in many things. Anyone who doesn’t stumble in word is a perfect person, able to bridle the whole body also.

It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarreling.

So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger.

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

If I speak with the languages of men and of angels, but don’t have love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal.

For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, Yahweh, you know it altogether.

For with the heart one believes resulting in righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made resulting in salvation.

That if you will confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
