    Tough love works, directly and indirectly. When you punish a scorner, it should shut his rebel mouth, and you also send a warning to foolish onlookers thinking about rebellion.Wise men only need reproof, and they grow in knowledge. Much good can be done by tough love, which is the correct punishment or reproof of those needing it (Pr 21:11).This generation calls for gentle treatment of rebel children and youth, criminals, and even prisoners of war. America is more effeminate than pubescent girls. Most churches now teach that coddling is the best and effective treatment for sinning church members.Reproof, rebuke, and judgment must be restored in God’s house and elsewhere (Is 58:1; Jer 4:1-10; II Tim 4:3-4; Tit 2:15; I Cor 5:1-5). Pray for holy men like Elijah, John the Baptist, and Paul to rise up and blast the trumpet of God’s word against sin and sinners.Accepting this foolish generation’s perverse education, you will believe only kindness or reason should be used with a scorner, not force or punishment. They say pain is not a deterrent. But you must trust God’s word and hate every false idea of man (Ps 119:128). Sufficient pain will stop offenders, and this proverb teaches it will warn others also.When Jesus preached, common people rejoiced to grow in knowledge (Mark 12:37; Luke 13:17; 19:48; 21:38). But scorners had their mouths shut and feared asking Him more questions (Luke 13:17; 20:40). Israel had not heard such a preacher in a long time, for their politically correct, effeminate, and refined teachers were a disgrace (Mat 7:28-29).Publicly punishing scorners has side benefits. God required rebellious youth in Israel to be stoned, with an obvious effect on teenagers witnessing it (Deut 21:18-21). Paul wrote Timothy, “Them that sin rebuke before all, that others also may fear” (I Tim 5:20). Paul’s rule primarily applies to sinning elders, but it also confirms the proverb’s lesson for all.Making a public example is wisdom. This can be in the church, the home, the school, the office, the military, or for the benefit of the nation. When a ringleader is taken down and punished, even stupid followers get a clear message that could not be communicated by mere words. Especially those in authority over a group must maintain their rule this way.Parents, if you must discipline a child, do it before the whole family for the other children’s benefit. If this is done consistently with the oldest child, the younger will grow up to respect and obey you. If governments learned God’s wisdom, public punishments and executions would bring wide national benefits (Deut 17:8-13; 19:16-21; 21:18-21).Consider Bible examples. Stoning a man that scornfully picked up sticks on the Sabbath got Israel’s attention (Num 15:30-36). Stoning those who modified God’s worship was effective for the whole church (Deut 13:6-11). Ananias and Sapphira scorned the apostles of God and fell down dead to the revival of fear in Jerusalem’s church (Acts 5:1-11).When punishment is not executed speedily, both scorners and the simple get hardened in their ways to do evil (Ecc 8:11). If you have authority in a home, workplace, government, or church, it is your duty to practice this proverb for the punishment of scorners and warning of the simple. Wisdom and righteousness are exalted and spread by such actions.“A word to the wise is sufficient” is true. It means wise men need only a little reproof or warning to learn knowledge (Pr 1:5; 9:9). Punishment is not appropriate for these men. The rod and stripes would be too much. “A reproof entereth more into a wise man than an hundred stripes into a fool” (Pr 17:10). Wisdom is the ability to discern this difference.

    Your speech will either help or hurt you (Pr 10:14; 12:14; 13:2-3; 18:6-7,23). If you are older, it already has! Many have ruined their lives by not ruling their mouths. Others have been honored for their kind and wise tongues. Your speech will bring either blessing or cursing from both God and men, in both time and eternity. Do you love good speech or bad speech? Your future will be impacted heavily by your choice and habit.A tongue can kill or save others’ lives. A false witness can cause the death of an innocent man, or a comforter can restore a dejected man by an uplifting word. A slanderer can kill the reputation of a good man, or a wise counselor can guide a young man through the dangers of youth. A seducing woman can ruin a man’s life, or a godly mother can teach her children the truth. Speech definitely affects others, but that is not the lesson here.The tongue also affects speakers. The death and life in the power of the tongue are the effects of your speech on yourself. You learn this by the second clause, which teaches that those loving their use of the tongue will eat either the fruit of death or life. You also know this by the context, for the previous proverb reads, “A man’s belly shall be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth; and with the increase of his lips shall he be filled” (Pr 18:20).Consider the love of speech, which is a key in this proverb. Even evil men can say good things when it is to their greedy purposes to do so, and good men slip from time to time and say things they should not (Pr 23:6-8; Eccl 10:1). But only good men truly love good speech, and only evil men truly love evil speech. The law of the proverb is based on what kind of speech you love – the speech you commit your heart, mouth, and habits toward.When you see a man failing in life, he likely did not rule his tongue. You can see the failure in his marriage(s), with his children, and in his profession. Criticism and harshness cost him affection. Exaggerations and extreme words cost him trust. Complaining and whining cost him influence. Arrogance and disrespect of authority cost him promotions. Too many words cost him listeners. Backbiting and talebearing cost him respect. Foolishness and jesting cost him honor. Unkept promises made him a liar. He is ruined.He committed suicide with his tongue! He ate the fruit of death! He used the power of his tongue to his own destruction. He would not rule his spirit or teach his tongue wisdom (Pr 16:23; 25:28). Therefore, both God and men punished him for his verbal folly. God turned to be his enemy, and men avoided him and cut him out of their friendships and profitable endeavors. He used the power of his tongue to his own destruction and death.Other men rise like cream to the top, because they rule their speech. They limit words (Pr 10:19; 17:27-28). They use gentleness rather than bluster (Pr 15:1; 25:15). They speak only the certain words of truth (Pr 22:17-21). They never talk against a man not present (Pr 16:28; 26:20-22). They study and think before speaking (Pr 15:28). They are always thankful. They seldom speak up unless asked (Pr 18:13; 29:11; Jas 1:19). Their gracious speech wins the hearts of men and women – they are soon friends with the king (Pr 16:13; 22:11). They are a tree of life to others and to themselves (Pr 10:11; 13:3; 15:4).When a woman is a failure, she likely did not rule her tongue. Harsh and critical speech, nagging reminders, snotty retorts, or constant suggestions destroyed her husband’s affection – she killed her marriage. Her children cannot wait to get out of the house, because the overbearing and continual criticism is too much to bear. She is odious! She has no friends, because everyone hates an odious woman. She committed marital, domestic, and social suicide with her tongue. She ate the fruit of death. She is dead.

    Listening to lies and sinful ideas makes you as wrong as those speaking. Can this be true? Consider this proverb closely, for it is easy to miss the powerful lesson of these words. Birds of a feather flock together, and the only way to redeem yourself is to reject fools!King Solomon often condemned false lips, naughty tongues, and an evil mouth (Pr 6:17; 10:18,31-32; 12:13,22; 18:6-7,22; 21:6; 24:2,28; 26:24,28). And he praised godly and gracious speech just as often (Pr 13:2; 15:23; 16:13; 18:20-21; 22:11; 24:26; 25:11).The valuable lesson of all these proverbs is simple: a person who cannot control his speech to speak righteously and wisely is a wicked person and a fool (Lu 6:45). A certain measure of a man’s character and heart is to hear him talk, for he will reveal himself.But notice, this proverb does not condemn false lips or a naughty tongue. It condemns the person who listens to such speech, and here you can learn much wisdom. To be truly holy and wise, you must avoid, reject, reprove, and eliminate foolish talkers and their words.It is easy to agree that certain speech is wicked. But if you listen to it, you are as wicked as those speaking it. The only reason to listen is a profane heart that enjoys it or fear of the consequences for standing up for godliness, truth, and wisdom. Wise men reject foolish talking and wicked speech, and they reject just as quickly those that talk that way. Sometimes these evil speakers will be your friends, which means you need new friends.Solomon taught that godliness and wisdom include guarding both tongue and ears. This proverb condemns the fault and folly of choosing to be around wicked speakers and their words, and he taught this elsewhere as well (Pr 14:7; 13:20; 19:27; 20:19; 25:23). David and Paul taught the same wisdom (Ps 101:3-8; Eph 5:3-11; Rom 1:32; Titus 1:10-11).This rule of wisdom even condemns an entire government as wicked, when the ruler listens to lies, for he has the power to end them (Pr 29:12). What does this say about parents who allow the words of a backbiter or tattler in their home? Foolish jokes of a jester? Testimony of only one in any matter? Disrespect of authority? Or exaggeration?What about music, television, the Internet, and other false and naughty content? Parents that allow entertainment for their children that they would not allow their children to say in public are hypocrites and horrible parents. God condemned the wicked nature of man as doing things he knows are wrong and taking pleasure in others doing them (Ro 1:32).When you are in the presence of a backbiter, you should stop them cold with an angry countenance (Pr 25:23). David, in his great desire for a holy life, purposed to cut off all slanderers and liars from his household (Ps 101:5-7). This should be your noble goal. If you are in any position of authority from parent to pastor, you must enforce this rule.A whisperer could do nothing, if told to shut up and go away. The backbiter would have clean teeth, if told to stop her sinning. The jester would stop joking, if hearers stared at him like he was crazy. The slanderer would be alone, if her evil surmisings and false accusations were rejected. The talebearer could only talk to himself, if he were denied.Men continue in their wicked speech only because they have an audience. But woe unto that man who listens to ungodly conversation, for he is revealing the same evil heart as the one speaking. Let each person called a Christian refuse to ever hear evil speech again!
