The Duality of Lips
June 30th, 2009
Aside: As I memorize Proverbs, I’ll post little interesting things I come across. Even though I won’t remember all of Proverbs when I’m done, it’s good to chew a few verses a day.
That you make keep discretion and your lips may guard knowledge. For the lips of a forbidden woman drip honey, her speech is smoother than oil,
- Proverbs 5:2-3
Lips can be used both to guard knowledge and to seduce. They can guard life or lead to death. It’s very similar to James 3:9-10. They can be used for good or bad. What are my lips being used for?
