Pro 16:23 The heart of the
wise teacheth his mouth, and addeth learning to his lips. The encouraging thing
about these two verses is that these are qualities that can be learned, God
already knows that most of us aren’t born with the ability to control our mouth (
Jas_3:8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. ) so He is letting us know that there is hope if we allow Him to teach us.
