Have nothing to do with lies and misleading words. When you are tempted to tell an outright lie. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. When you are tempted to make light of holy things. Fools mock at sin, but among the upright there is good will. When you are tempted to flatter a wicked person – Proverbs 24:24 In all labor there is profit, but idle chatter leads only to poverty. When you are suppose to be working instead. With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. A wise son pays attention when his father corrects him, but an arrogant person never admits he is wrong. A man of knowledge uses words with restraint, and a man of understanding is even-tempered. If your words would convey the wrong impression. If your words will offend a weaker person – 1 Corinthians 8:11 Watch your words and hold your tongue you’ll save yourself a lot of grief.When he was insulted, he did not answer back with an insult when he suffered, he did not threaten, but placed his hopes in God, the righteous Judge. He committed no sin, and no one ever heard a lie come from his lips. It was to this that God called you, for Christ himself suffered for you and left you an example, so that you would follow in his steps.If your words will be a poor reflection of the Lord or your friends and family. Evil people look for ways to harm others even their words burn with evil. If your words will damage someone else’s reputation. All the words of my mouth are just none of them is crooked or perverse. If you would be ashamed of your words later. Gossip is spread by wicked people they stir up trouble and break up friendships. What you say can preserve life or destroy it so you must accept the consequences of your words.The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.If you have already said it more than one time – Proverbs 19:13 If you cannot control your anger, you are as helpless as a city without walls, open to attack.

If you can’t say it without screaming it. If the issue is none of your business – Proverbs 14:10 People with a hot temper do foolish things wiser people remain calm.
