James 3:8-10But no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison.

Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right!
2 Timothy 2:14Remind everyone about these things, and command them in God’s presence to stop fighting over words. Such arguments are useless, and they can ruin those who hear them.
Proverbs 26:6Trusting a fool to convey a message is like cutting off one’s feet or drinking poison!
