• Proverbs 18:21, is one of the most powerful and well-known verses in the book of Proverbs!

"The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love it will eat its fruit."

Meaning and Emphasis

This proverb is a profound warning and reminder about the immense power of our words.

• "The tongue has the power of life and death":  Our speech is not neutral.  Words can build up, encourage, heal, and bring hope (life), or they can tear down, slander, discourage, and destroy relationships and reputations (death).

• "and those who love it will eat its fruit":  This means the consequences of your speech ultimately return to you.  If you consistently use your words to bless, you will receive blessing in your life and relationships.  If you use them to curse or tear down, you will reap the destructive consequences of that negative talk.​

The verse essentially tells us to choose our words with extreme care, as we are the ones who will ultimately live with the harvest of what we sow with our mouths.
