And besides they learn to be idle, wandering about from house to house, and not only idle but also gossips and busybodies, saying things which they ought not. 1 Timothy 5:13
"But I say to you that for every idle word men speak, they will give an account of it in the day of judgment. For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned." Matthew 12:36-37
sound speech that cannot be condemned, that one who is an opponent may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say of you. Titus 2:8
Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one. Colossians 4:6
Hide me from the secret plots of the wicked, From the rebellion of the workers of iniquity, Who sharpen their tongue like a sword, And bend their bows to shoot their arrows--bitter words, That they may shoot in secret at the blameless; Suddenly they shoot at him and do not have fear. They encourage themselves in an evil matter; Thy talk of laying snares secretly; They say, "Who will see them?"
An ungoldy man digs up evil, And it is on his lips like a burning fire. Proverbs 16:27
