A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

He that walketh in His uprightness feareth the Lord: but he that is perverse in his ways despiseth Him.

He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.

 The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit.

 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?

He that gathereth in summer is a wise son: but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son that causeth shame.

If thou be wise, thou shalt be wise for thyself: but if thou scornest, thou alone shalt bear it.

O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.

And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
