Proverbs 10:18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
19 In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
20 The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.
21 The lips of the righteous feed many: but fools die for want of wisdom.
We see in this scripture some of what we have been witnessing for the past few months in the political arena. When someone lies about another person it is usually because of hatred and it is sometimes looked upon as slander. The more words that are said are not good because it has a tendency to lead to a lie or sin. If we restrain from running our mouths it is a sign that we have learned how to use the wisdom we have gained. The tongue that speaks of the redemption power of Jesus is symbolized as choice silver. As we have seen already what is in the heart is what we usually speak so it could be good or bad. Those that speak of righteousness are speaking to the multitudes who need to hear the word of God. Those that could care less for gaining wisdom are the ones that will never know the saving grace of our Lord.Luke 6:45 “A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaketh.”
