Proverbs 12:14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.
‘A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth.’ A good man shall be satisfied with the fruit of his lips, and he will reap the good that he sows (Gal. 6:7-8).
Life and death are greatly determined by the power of the tongue, and he who uses this power rightly shall live because of it (18:21; 1Pet. 3:10-11).
Twelve uses of the tongue condemned: gossiping (Deut. 22:13-19); talebearing (11:13; Lev. 19:16); false witnessing (Ex. 20:16; 23:7); whisperings (Rom. 1:29); slandering (1Tim. 3:11); false accusations (Tit. 2:3); vain talking (Tit. 1:10); defaming (Jer. 20:10); tattling (1Tim. 5:13); lying (6:17; Rev. 21:8; 22:15); deceiving (Rev. 12:9) and backbiting (Ps. 15:3; Rom. 1:30).
