James 3
Tame that tongue! Talkers are a shipwreck waiting to happen, an inferno waiting to ignite. If anything gets a person into trouble and takes them away from God, it's the tongue. Do more listening and save the tongue for praise.
The wise person (and one who is content and savors life) lives a life where he or she does not think too highly (or lowly) of himself or herself. It is impossible to be humble if we are talking all the time. Talk (not praise) usually points back to "me." "Me" is never humble.
Worldly "wisdom" is evil and, ultimately, destructive.
