Avoiding Unworthy Speech
1.All listeners criticize the
hateful useless speakers.
2.Unworthy public speech, worse
than offending friends.
3.Explaining futile words reveal
he is unrighteous.
4.Uncultured, worthless speech separates
from useful righteousness.
5.speaking clumsy, well-mannered looses
reputation and self-respect
6.Praising frivolous utterance inhuman
but grainless husk.
7.Uttering unrighteous tolerable, wise
evade worthless good.
8.Profit analyzing intellectuals never
utter unworthy words.
9.Sensible pure never utter
futile words forgetfully.
10.If speak, fruitful, never
utter unworthy words.
