Proverbs Part XII-The Wagging Tongue

Just a quick recap of the type of Tongue we should pray the Holy Spirit to grow in our lives and the type of Tongue we want to avoid (all references are from Proverbs):

The Tongue You Don’t Want-the tongue of the wicked and the fool
lacks a place with God-cut off (10:31-32; 10:20)
only know perverse things (10:31-32)
uncaring of other people-belittling, slandering, revealing secretes (11:12-13, 18:8; 20:19; 10:11 )
lacks sense (10:19; 11:12-13)
break the spirit (15:4)
brings itself under discipline (14:3; 10:14)
cuts & destroys (12:6; 12:18; 16:27-28)

The Tongue You Do Want-the tongue of the righteous and the wise
express wisdom (10:31-32; 15:7)
Knows what is acceptable to God (10:31-32)
Cares about other people (11:12-13; 12:6; 13:3)
brings healing and gladness (10:11; 12:18; 12:25
Knows what to say and when to say it (15:23; 25:11
Better proves it’s point (25:15)
keeps out of trouble (10:19; 21:23
Holds great value (10:20)
