but a harsh word stirs up anger. (Proverbs 15:1)

He who seeks good finds goodwill,
but evil comes to him who searches for it. (Proverbs 11:27)

An evil man is trapped by his sinful talk,
but a righteous man escapes trouble. (Proverbs 12:13)

From the fruit of his lips a man is filled with good things
as surely as the work of his hands rewards him. (Proverbs 12:14)

Reckless words pierce like a sword,
but the tongue of the wise brings healing. (Proverbs 12:18)

One man gives freely, yet gains even more;
another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty. (Proverbs 11:25)
