For the mouth speaks from the abundance of the heart.

Even a fool is counted wise when he holds his peace; When he shuts his lips, he is considered perceptive.Even a fool who keeps silent is considered wise; if he closes his lips, he is regarded as intelligent.
In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise.Where many words are spoken, sin is not absent, but whoever restrains his tongue is prudent.

Open your mouth for the speechless, In the cause of all who are appointed to die.Speak out for those who cannot speak for themselves, and defend the rights of the destitute.
A man has joy by the answer of his mouth, And a word spoken in due season, how good it is!A man is joyful when he utters apt answers, and even more satisfying is a word in season.
A soft answer turns away wrath, But a harsh word stirs up anger.A gentle reply turns away wrath, but a harsh word arouses anger.

For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.For all of us fall short in many ways. Anyone who never makes a mistake in speech has reached perfection and is able to control every part of his body.
The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious, But the lips of a fool shall swallow him up.The words of a wise man win favor, but a fool’s tongue is his undoing.
A talebearer reveals secrets, But he who is of a faithful spirit conceals a matter.One who gossips reveals secrets, but a trustworthy man keeps things hidden.
Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.Out of the same mouth flow blessings and curses. This should not be so, my brethren.
Let my mouth be filled with Your praise And with Your glory all the day.My mouth is filled with your praises as I relate your glory all day long.
Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother.If your brother wrongs you, go and take up the matter with him when the two of you are alone. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over.
Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.Therefore, whatever you have said in the dark will be heard in the daylight, and what you have whispered behind closed doors will be shouted from the housetops.
Walk in wisdom toward those who are outside, redeeming the time. Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.Conduct yourselves wisely toward outsiders, making the most of your opportunity. Let your speech always be gracious and seasoned with wisdom, so that you will know how to respond properly to all.

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.In the same way, even the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with sighs that cannot be put into words.

And when you pray, do not use vain repetitions as the heathen do. For they think that they will be heard for their many words.When you pray do not go on babbling endlessly as the pagans do, for they believe that they are more likely to be heard because of their many words.

Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why are you disquieted within me?
