wrong uses of the tongue:
Proverbs 10:31,32; 15:12; 17:5 - scoffing, mocking
Proverbs 10:18; 11:13; 26:20,22 - slander
Proverbs 19:5,9; 21:28; 25:18 - false witness
Proverbs 10:8,10,19; 26:28; 27:1,2; 29:5 - continual talking
Proverbs 15:2,18; 18:6,7; 20:3 - quarreling
I don't struggle with the area of continual talking. God has given me a quiet personality and that is helpful at times.
My struggle with this list would be the quarreling part. If someone says something that is hurtful or not true, in my opinion, I am willing to argue with them about it. I continually need to have wisdom as to when I should talk and when it is not wise to speak.
To improve in the area of speech, I need to keep asking God, before I speak, several questions:
Is this true?
Is it kind?
Is it necessary?
Would saying this honor God?
What happens if I don't say it?
