“The Lord is watching everywhere, keeping His eye on both the evil and the good.
The king is pleased with words from righteous lips; he loves those who speak honestly.
The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive. Kind words are like honey— sweet to the soul and healthy for the body. From a wise mind comes wise speech; the words of the wise are persuasive.
Those who listen to instruction will prosper; those who trust the Lord will be joyful.”
{Proverbs 15:3; Proverbs 16:13, 21, 24, 23, 20}
