Matthew 12:34-35

34 "You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.

35 "The good man brings out of his good treasure what is good; and the evil man brings out of his evil treasure what is evil.

Matthew 15:18

18 "But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man.

Luke 6:45

45 "The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart.

Psalms 73:7-8

7 Their eye bulges from fatness; The imaginations of their heart run riot.

8 They mock and wickedly speak of oppression; They speak from on high.

Ephesians 4:29

29 Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.

Psalms 17:7-13

7 Wondrously show Your lovingkindness, O Savior of those who take refuge at Your right hand From those who rise up against them.

8 Keep me as the apple of the eye; Hide me in the shadow of Your wings

9 From the wicked who despoil me, My deadly enemies who surround me.

10 They have closed their unfeeling heart, With their mouth they speak proudly.

11 They have now surrounded us in our steps; They set their eyes to cast us down to the ground.

12 He is like a lion that is eager to tear, And as a young lion lurking in hiding places.

13 Arise, O LORD , confront him, bring him low; Deliver my soul from the wicked with Your sword,
