Proverbs 18:21 puts it this way: “The tongue has the power of life and death.” Our words can either speak life, or our words can speak death. Our tongues can build others up or tear them down. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison, James 3-8; 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, James 3-6.
