Ecclesiastes 5:6-7
6Do not let your speech cause you to sin and do not say in the presence of the messenger of God that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry on account of your voice and destroy the work of your hands?
7For in many dreams and in many words there is emptiness. Rather, fear God.
What we say gets us into so much trouble. When we are already in trouble, our tongue often acts like a shovel digging us a larger hole. If you haven’t thought before you spoke, don’t. Not only does our thoughtless speech cause us to sin, but it damages the integrity of everything else we say.
