What the Bible says about: Speech

Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
Psalms 12:2-4
They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?

Consume them in wrath, consume them, that they may not be: and let them know that God ruleth in Jacob unto the ends of the earth. Selah.

A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?
