Think Before You Speak

Think about the words you speak.
They may be heard more than you know.
Others your words may repeat,
And they will echo to and fro.

Let your words be kind and good,
Never having ill intent.
Guard the “text” of what you say,
And problems this will then prevent.

Words have power and consequence
Which can bring healing, joy or calm.
It’s truly worth your careful thought
To let your words be healing balm.

“Pleasant words are as a honeycomb, sweet to the mind and healing to the body.”
Proverbs 16:24 Amplified Bible

“A man has joy in making an apt answer, and a word
spoken at the right moment - how good it is!”
Proverbs 15:23 Amplified Bible
