You are snared with the words of your lips, you
are caught by the speech of your mouth. Prov 62,
AMP For out of the abundance of the heart the
mouth speaks Matthew 1234, NKJV The heart of
the wise teaches his mouth, and adds
learning to his lips. Pleasant words are like a
honeycomb, sweetness to the soul
and health to the bones. Proverbs 1623-24, NKJV

oughout the earth. Psalm 738-9, NLT I know th
ere are some among you who are so full

self than God. That person ignores who God is and
what he is doing. And God isn't pleased at being

essage

tired. Prov 1722, Message Do everything withou
t complaining or arguing, so that
you may become blameless and pure, children of
God without fault in a crooked and depraved
generation, in which you shine like stars in the
universe Philippians 214-15, NIV
It is better to live alone in the desert than
with a crabby, complaining wife.
Proverbs 2119, NLT
