• John 6:63
  It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
   
• Proverbs 18:21
  Death and life are in the power of the tongue,
  And those who love it will eat its fruit.
  
   
• James 3:2-12
  For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body. Indeed, we put bits in horses' mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things. See how great a forest a little fire kindles! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so. Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening? Can a fig tree, my brethren, bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs? Thus no spring yields both salt water and fresh.

  So He humbled you, allowed you to hunger, and fed you with manna which you did not know nor did your fathers know, that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the LORD.
   
• Proverbs 25:11
  A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold
  In settings of silver.
  
   
• Matthew 12:36-37
  But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."
   
• John 8:44
  You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father you want to do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of it.
   
• 1 Corinthians 1:18
  For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.

  A soft answer turns away wrath,
  But a harsh word stirs up anger.

  But perverseness in it breaks the spirit.
