Proverbs 13:2
A man shall eat good by the fruit of his mouth: but the soul of thetransgressors shall eat violence.
 
We are to use the mouth that God has given to us to save souls and do His will:
 
Proverbs12:14
 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and therecompense of a man’s hands shall be rendered unto him.
This is the law of reaping and sowing:
 
Galatians6:7
 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shallhe also reap.
Galatians6:8
 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he thatsoweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
but the soul of the transgressors shall eat violence.

 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallowground: for it is time to seek the LORD, till he come and rain righteousnessupon you.

We have to be able to control what we say. There are people who take pleasure inusing their tongue to hurt others, but that filthy, vile, corruption comes from withinthe heart:
Proverbs18:21
 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eatthe fruit thereof.
Rather than being quick to react with harsh words when you are troubled,sometimes it is best to just not say anything at all and bring the situation to theLord.
Proverbs21:23
 Whoso keepeth his mouth and his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
Once the matter has been taken to the Lord in prayer, then it is done. He will solvethe problem and give you the words to say if it is in His will for you to say anything atall.
 
 Even when a fool holds his peace, he can appear to be wise:
Proverbs17:28
 Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he thatshutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
Put a stop to all corrupt communications coming out of your mouth:

 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which isgood to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Ephesians4:31
 Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice:
Ephesians4:32
