For Those Who Have Been Hurt by Words

I came across this video while perusing The Identity Shift. This is an extremely poignant, direct, and sobering presentation of the power of words/the tongue.

Thou lovest all devouring words, O thou deceitful tongue. 

{Psalm 52:4}

The tongue of the just is as choice silver:

{Proverbs 10:20}

The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out. 

{Proverbs 10:31}

The tongue of the wise is health.

{Proverbs 12:18}

The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness. 

{Proverbs 15:2}

A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit. 

{Proverbs 15:4}

He that hath a perverse tongue falleth into mischief. 

{Proverbs 17:20}

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. 

{Proverbs 18:21}

Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles. 

{Proverbs 21:23}

But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. 

{Matthew 12:36-37}

But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. 

{Galatians 5:15}

Behold, we put bits in the horses' mouths, that they may obey us; and we turn about their whole body. Behold also the ships, which though they be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they turned about with a very small helm, whithersoever the governor listeth. Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind: But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. Therewith bless we God, even the Father; and therewith curse we men, which are made after the similitude of God. Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 

{James 3:3-10}
