24 A man who has friends must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.

23 Keep your heart with all diligence, For out of it spring the issues of life.

8 But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

18 There is one who speaks like the piercings of a sword, But the tongue of the wise promotes health.

21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

10 For “He who would love life And see good days, Let him refrain his tongue from evil, And his lips from speaking deceit.

18 My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth.

24 Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.

28 The hope of the righteous will be gladness, But the expectation of the wicked will perish.
