A significant theme throughout Proverbs is our speech and how we can use our words to bring either good or harm. The ability to speak is a significant and unique characteristic of God's image-bearers. When words are used in a godly and wise way, they can bring life, peace, instruction and encouragement to others. In contrast, words uttered by a foolish person can ignite fights, breed cynicism and bring death.
