Speech and ...

Ecclesiastes 5:2 

2 (5:1) Do not be rash with your mouth or hasty in your heart to bring up a matter before God,
for God is in heaven and you are on earth!
Therefore, let your words be few.

 

Speech

 

It is not what happens to him that makes a man,

but how he handles what happened to him.

 

Sinning with your mouth?

Let your words be few.

A dream through much activity

will keep your soul so cool.

 

Every word is weighed and measured

Every sound is placed with care

into the memory of the here-after

to be searched out at judgment’s fair.
