May the LORD silence all flattering lips and every boastful tongue--those who say, "By our tongues we will prevail; our own lips will defend us--who is lord over us?"
May the LORD silence all flattering lips
Proverbs 26:28 A lying tongue hates those it hurts, and a flattering mouth works ruin.
Proverbs 28:23 Whoever rebukes a person will in the end gain favor rather than the one who has a flattering tongue.
and every boastful tongue
Psalm 73:9 Their (the wicked's) mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.
Daniel 7:8 "While I (Daniel) was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a human being and a mouth that spoke boastfully."
James 3:5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts. Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark.
Revelation 13:5 The beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its authority for forty-two months.
"By our tongues we will prevail"
Proverbs 18:21 The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit.
James 3:6 The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body, sets the whole course of one's life on fire, and is itself set of fire by hell.
Mark 7:20-23 He (Jesus) went on: "What comes out of a person is what defiles them. For it is within, out of a person's heart, that evil thoughts come--sexual immorality, theft, murder, adultery, greed, malice, deceit, lewdness, envy, slander, arrogance and folly. All these evils come from inside and defile a person."
