3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.
21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
and those who love it will eat its fruits.
6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
but the mouth of the upright delivers them.
29 Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.
34 You brood of vipers! How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. 36 I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak, 37 for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
14 Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
O LORD, my rock and my redeemer.
3 Set a guard, O LORD, over my mouth;
keep watch over the door of my lips!
28 The heart of the righteous ponders how to answer,
but the mouth of the wicked pours out evil things.
