The vexation of a fool is known at once, but the prudent ignores an insult. Whoever speaks the truth gives honest evidence, but a false witness utters deceit. There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue is but for a moment. Deceit is in the heart of those who devise evil, but those who plan peace have joy.
ESV
Lord, thank You for leading me to these verses which speak to my heart and challenge me to quit using "rash" words and to keep a more careful watch on my tongue.
Thanks for sharing, I will try and remember this throughout the day (and those to come) :)
