Haughty eyes and a proud heart, the lamp of the wicked, are sin Prov.21v4 RSV The lamp of the wicked will be put out The wages of sin is death Prov.24v20 RSV Pro 12:22 The LORD abhors a person who lies, but those who deal truthfully are his delight. 42

Pro 12:19 The one who tells the truth will endure forever, but the one who lies will last only for a moment. Pro 19:9 A false witness will not go unpunished, and the one who spouts out lies will perish. 43

Pro 30:7-9 Two things I ask from you; do not refuse me before I die: Remove falsehood and lies far from me; do not give me poverty or riches, feed me with my allotted portion of bread, lest I become satisfied and act deceptively and say, "Who is the LORD?" Or lest I become poor and steal and demean the name of my God. Pro 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love its use will eat its fruit 44

The Power of Words Words have 2 qualities which give them this power 1.Penetrating 2.Spread Pro 12:18 Speaking recklessly is like the thrusts of a sword, but the words of the wise bring healing. 45

Pro 18:8; 26v22 The words of a gossip are like choice morsels (AV wounds); they go down into the person's innermost being. Pro 11:9 With his speech the godless person destroys his neighbor, but by knowledge the righteous will be delivered 46

Pro 16:27-28 A wicked scoundrel digs up evil, and his slander is like a scorching fire. A perverse person spreads dissension, and a gossip separates the closest friends. Pro 12:14 A person will be satisfied with good from the fruit of his words, and the work of his hands will be rendered to him. 48

Pro 10:11 The teaching of the righteous is a fountain of life, but the speech of the wicked conceals violence. Pro 15:4 Speech that heals is like a life-giving tree, but a perverse tongue breaks the spirit. The Marks of Good Words 1. They will be honest 2. They will be few 3. They will be calm 4. They will be apt 49

They will be honest Pro 16:13 The delight of kings is righteous counsel, and they love the one who speaks uprightly. They will be honest Pro 29:5 The one who flatters his neighbor spreads a net for his steps. 50

They will be honest Pro 28:23 The one who reproves another will in the end find more favor than the one who flatters with the tongue. They will be honest Pro 24:26 Like a kiss on the lips is the one who gives an honest answer. 51

They will be few Pro 17:28 Even a fool who remains silent is considered wise, and the one who holds his tongue is deemed discerning. They will be few Pro 10:19 When words abound, transgression is inevitable, but the one who restrains his words is wise. 52

They will be few Pro 13:3 He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction. They will be few Pro 11:12-13 The one who denounces his neighbor lacks wisdom, but the one who has discernment keeps silent. The one who goes about slandering others reveals secrets, but the one who is trustworthy conceals a matter. 53
