Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it and indulge it will eat its fruit and bear the consequences of their words. Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit—you choose. Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit. The tongue can bring death or life; those who love to talk will reap the consequences. What you say can mean life or death. Those who speak with care will be rewarded. Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit. Your words are so powerful that they will kill or give life, and the talkative person will reap the consequences.
