The tongue is a very powerful instrument. It can either call down blessings from heaven or bring curses (failure) into your life. If there are areas in your life that need changing, your tongue is the best tool to use to bring about that transformation. Here are some verses from the Bible which reference the tongue.
Proverbs 10:19 When words are many, sin is not absent, but he who holds his tongue is wise.
Proverbs 15:4 The tongue that brings healing is a tree of life, but a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.
Proverbs 17:20 A man of perverse heart does not prosper; he whose tongue is deceitful falls into trouble.
Proverbs 17:28 Even a fool is thought wise if he keep silent, and discerning if he holds his tongue.
Proverbs 18:21 The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
Proverbs 21:23 He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from calamity.
Proverbs 25:15 Through patience a ruler can be persuaded, and a gentle tongue can break a bone.
