Holding Our Tongues


Speaker Notes

Proverbs 10:19

19 Sin is not ended by multiplying words,
but the prudent hold their tongues.

Proverbs 18:2

2 Fools find no pleasure in understanding
but delight in airing their own opinions.

Proverbs 29:11

11 Fools give full vent to their rage,
but the wise bring calm in the end.

Proverbs 29:20

20 Do you see someone who speaks in haste?
There is more hope for a fool than for them.

Ecclesiastes 10:12-14

12 Words from the mouth of the wise are gracious,
    but fools are consumed by their own lips.
13 At the beginning their words are folly;
    at the end they are wicked madness—
14     and fools multiply words.

No one knows what is coming—
    who can tell someone else what will happen after them?
