Proverbs 11:12 New International Version (NIV)
12 Whoever derides their neighbor has no sense,
but the one who has understanding holds their tongue.
but the one who has understanding holds their tongue.
Wise folks don't have to prove their wisdom by disrespecting
others and putting them down. Instead, they hold their tongues and let their
lives speak what is good, honorable, righteous, and true. In a world of sarcasm
and in a culture that is attracted to the person who can put down others with
quick and razor-sharp "put downs," we are called to bring a blessing
with our words (Ephesians 4:29).
Thought for today:
Do I give pause and prayer before speaking?
