The Tongue

An instrument of deceit is the lying tongue,
a lash for slander where accusations are slung.
reckless words like a sword slice and pierce,
on the lips the poison of vipers is fierce.
plots destruction toward those it hates,
as a deadly arrow for an enemy waits.
brings angry looks as it mutters wicked things,
falls into trouble as maliciousness rings.
by a small spark can a great forest be set on fire
as the fiery tongue of the one who is called a liar.
the wise keep silent and remain on hold,
but a fortune is made by deceptive ones untold.
among the parts of the body is a world of evil,
where devastation reigns through total upheaval.

Katt - you are voicing St. James, - have to get his letter our to specify the precise lines.
He is as strong as you are :-) :-)
Yes, the tongue should be used to bless and not to destroy.
Very effective write this Katt.
Should be read by everyone.
