Proverbs 10:6-9 – Blessings crown the head of the righteous,
but violence overwhelms the mouth of the wicked. The name of the righteous is used in blessings, but the name of the
wicked will rot. The wise in heart
accept commands, but a chattering fool comes to ruin. Whoever
walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will
be found out.
Proverbs
13:3 – Those who
guard their lips preserve their lives, but those who
speak rashly will come to ruin.
Matthew 7:24 – “Therefore
everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is
like a wise man who built his house on the rock.
Psalm 25:21 – May
integrity and
uprightness protect
me, because my hope, Lord, is in you.
Application:
- · The ability to control the tongue is one of the clearest marks of wisdom.
- · The Bible often speaks metaphorically of God or Christ as a “rock”.
- · “Integrity and uprightness” are personified virtues.
