A soothing tongue is a tree of life, but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit. Proverbs 15:4

“You love to destroy others with your words, you liar! You unleash your mouth for evil and unharness your tongue for deceit. But God will strike you down once and for all. He will pull you from your home and uproot you from the land of the living. Interlude. No one who practices deceit shall dwell in my house; no one who tells lies shall stand in my presence, says the Lord.”
