Proverbs 15:2-4

Amplified Bible

²
The tongue of the wise speaks knowledge that is pleasing and acceptable,
But the [babbling] mouth of fools spouts folly.
³
The eyes of the Lord are in every place,
Watching the evil and the good [in all their endeavors].^(A)
⁴
A soothing tongue [speaking words that build up and encourage] is a tree of life,
But a perversive tongue [speaking words that overwhelm and depress] crushes the spirit.
