PRUDENCE 1: Speech, PEOPLE and Situations

Intro: 

Colossians 4:6King James Version (KJV)

Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.
Body:

Proverbs 19:2King James Version (KJV)

Also, that the soul be without knowledge, it is not good; and he that hasteth with his feet sinneth.
New International Version
Do you see a person wise in their own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for them. 
Proverbs 26:12.

 Proverbs 26: 17-28 GNB
17Getting involved in an argument that is none of your business is like going down the street and grabbing a dog by the ears. 18-19Someone who misleads someone else and then claims that he was only joking is like a mad person playing with a deadly weapon. 20Without wood, a fire goes out; without gossip, quarrelling stops. 21Charcoal keeps the embers glowing, wood keeps the fire burning, and troublemakers keep arguments alive. 22Gossip is so tasty! How we love to swallow it! 23Insincere talk that hides what you are really thinking is like a fine glazeon a cheap clay pot. 24A hypocrite hides hatred behind flattering words. 25They may sound fine, but don't believe him, because his heart is filled to the brim with hate. 26He may disguise his hatred, but everyone will see the evil things he does. 27People who set traps for others get caught themselves. People who start landslides get crushed. 28You have to hate someone to want to hurt him with lies. Insincere talk brings nothing but ruin.

Proverbs 6: 12-15 ESV
12A worthless person, a wicked man,
goes about with crooked speech,
13winks with his eyes, signalsc with his feet,
points with his finger,
14with perverted heart devises evil,
continually sowing discord;
15therefore calamity will come upon him suddenly;
in a moment he will be broken beyond healing.



James 1: 21-25 ESV
21Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.
22But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror.24For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.
