“But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.”
Matthew 12:36-37 KJV
“A soft answer turneth away wrath: But grievous words stir up anger.”
Proverbs 15:1 KJV
“Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:”
James 1:19 KJV
One of the biggest lies ever told:
“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me”
Words can hurt far worse than any physical violence because wounds and bruises heal faster than emotional trauma. Once words are spoken, we can apologize but the truth is we can’t take them back. They can’t be unheard by the receiver and they can playback over and over in a persons’ mind like a broken record.
