The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the
LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words. Proverbs, Chapter 15, Verse 26.
Now, I guess I might be able to convince some that
my thoughts are always God focused and selfless, but God knows how I really am
inside. Fortunately, He forgives me and
helps to turn my selfish thoughts and resentments around to be more tolerant
and forgiving of others.
Here are some related passages:
*The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but
the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things. Proverbs, Chapter 15, verse 28.
*A wicked doer giveth heed to false lips: and a liar
giveth ear to a naughty tongue.
Proverbs, Chapter 17, verse 4.
*Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted
wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. Proverbs, Chapter 17, verse 28.
*A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he
that speaketh lies shall perish. Proverbs,
Chapter 19, verse 9.
*A fool utterth all his mind: but a wise man keepeth
it in till afterwards. Proverbs, Chapter
29, verse 11.
Because this is an example of how I’ve applied this Bible passage to my life, it doesn't necessarily reflect the whole meaning of the passage.
