Commentary on Proverbs 12:18
Rash words wound like sword thrusts, while wise tongues heal. Speech's power to harm or help demonstrates the moral weight of communication. James 3:1-12 expands this theme, showing the tongue's disproportionate influence for good or evil. Healing speech applies gospel truth with grace.
