Proverbs 15:4
A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.
Does your speech nourish others or cut them? King Solomon commended the helpful value of wholesome speech and condemned the damage done by perverse speech. Noble speech nourishes the lives of others, but perverse speech can break their hearts. By your speech and words, you are either a tree of life to others or you are a breach in their spirit.
