Speech and ...
Ecclesiastes 5:2
2 (5:1) Do not be rash with your mouth or hasty in your heart to bring up a matter before God,
for God is in heaven and you are on earth!
Therefore, let your words be few.
Speech
It is not what happens to him that makes a man,
but how he handles what happened to him.
Sinning with your mouth?
Let your words be few.
A dream through much activity
will keep your soul so cool.
Every word is weighed and measured
Every sound is placed with care
into the memory of the here-after
to be searched out at judgment’s fair.
