“If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself, or if thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth” (Prov. 30:32).
Only the Lord knows how many wounded hearts, hurt feelings and blasted reputations are in the world today because of words spoken hastily or thoughtlessly, for words, once spoken, can never be recalled, no matter how much they are regretted. “If thou hast done foolishly in lifting up thyself,” and are thus inclined to utter boastful words, “lay thine hand upon thy mouth.” Better “let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips.” “Or if thou hast thought evil” and are inclined to “speak … evil one of another,” then also “lay thine hand upon thy mouth.” “Let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak,” for “death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” “He that keepeth his mouth keepeth his life: but he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction.” “Let all … evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice,” and say with David that “I will take heed to my ways, that I sin not with my tongue.” Don’t let Satan mislead you into believing that if you think something, it is all right to say it. Some people pride themselves in saying what they think. Don’t do it, dear Christian! “If thou hast thought evil, lay thine hand upon thy mouth.”
“Lay thine hand upon thy mouth,”
If evil “thou hast thought,”
For words spoken hastily
Have untold evil wrought.
