Qoheleth Haiku 5:6


 
6 Do not let your mouth lead you into sin, and do not say before
the messenger that it was a mistake; why should God be angry at your words, and destroy the work of your hands?

 Cautionary words
Calling one to speak clearly
Can be confusing
 
What powers have words
That when spoken anger God
Who’s controlling who
 
Sticks and stones break bones
But words will never hurt me
Wrong, they can kill you
 
Honesty in speech
Immeasurable value
Between life and death
 
Often the Bible
It seems to me presents God
As some big bully

 
Language, a gift from God—we abuse, misuse, and confuse it, reeking
evil; and, too often, we fail to use it, when it might effect good.
