Today I was doing my daily reading and some verses really jumped out at me
Proverbs 18:8,12-13,19-21,24
8 Listening to gossip is like eating cheap candy;
do you really want junk like that in your belly?
12 Pride first, then the crash,
but humility is precursor to honor.
13 Answering before listening
is both stupid and rude.
19 Do a favor and win a friend forever;
nothing can untie that bond.
20 Words satisfy the mind as much as fruit does the stomach;
good talk is as gratifying as a good harvest.
21 Words kill, words give life;
they're either poison or fruit—you choose.
24 Friends come and friends go,
but a true friend sticks by you like family.
