14
Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction.
15
The rich man’s wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.
16
The labour of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.
17
He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth.
18
He that hideth hatred with lying lips, and he that uttereth a slander, is a fool.
19
In the multitude of words there wanteth not sin: but he that refraineth his lips is wise.
20
The tongue of the just is as choice silver: the heart of the wicked is little worth.

As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an everlasting foundation.
26
As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send him.
27
The fear of the LORD prolongeth days: but the years of the wicked shall be shortened.
28
The hope of the righteous shall be gladness: but the expectation of the wicked shall perish.
29
The way of the LORD is strength to the upright: but destruction shall be to the workers of iniquity.
30
The righteous shall never be removed: but the wicked shall not inhabit the earth.
31
The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: but the froward tongue shall be cut out.
32
The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked speaketh frowardness.
summary; Nothing can take the believer out of the hand of God because God will never forsake His own. By being strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might (Ephesians 6:10), the righteous can stand firm against whatever the devil may throw his way (1 Corinthians 10:13, James 4:7). Believers are inheritors of an eternal kingdom, but the wicked are part of the devil’s failed pseudo-kingdom. They will not dwell in heaven with the righteous. The righteous speak forth wise words, for out of the heart the mouth speaks.
closing prayer; Lord, enable us to guard our ways, that we may not sin with our tongue, and to guard our mouth, as if with a muzzle, that it may not be hasty to utter a word. Set a guard, O LORD, over our mouth; keep watch over the door of our lips, that we may not stumble in what we say. we pray this in the name of jesus. amen.
those who wish to become a child of our Heavenly Father or wish to be stronger in his eyes, please say the following prayer below.
Heavenly Father: I recognize that I have not lived my life for You up until now. I have been living for myself and that is wrong. I need You in my life; I want You in my life. I acknowledge the completed work of Your Son Jesus Christ in giving His life for me on the cross at Calvary, and I long to receive the forgiveness you have made freely available to me through this sacrifice. Come into my life now, Lord. Take up residence in my heart and be my king, my Lord, and my Savior. From this day forward, I will no longer be controlled by sin, or the desire to please myself, but I will follow You all the days of my life. Those days are in Your hands. I ask this in Jesus’ precious and holy name. Amen.”
