Verses from NKJV unless otherwise noted:

Luke 6:43-45
"For a good tree does not bear bad fruit, nor does a bad tree bear good fruit. For every tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they gather grapes from a bramble bush. A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart brings forth evil. For out of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks.

Proverbs 18:21
Death and life are in the power of the tongue, And those who love it will eat its fruit.

But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment.

In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise.

He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.

A man's stomach shall be satisfied from the fruit of his mouth; From the produce of his lips he shall be filled.
