| Sealed lip |
The Bible has compared the tongue
to a little fire that is able to burn a great deal. We know how a small fire can rise to raze down a forest.
The tongue works likewise, it is able to turn away wrath
with soft words or stirrup anger with grievous words.
Here are 12 Proverbs
to guide the way we speak.

is void of understanding."
