I wonder how often the Devil is saying things like, "As long as he doesn't say anything to anyone, he's no threat to us. Keep reminding him of that verse: 'he that openeth wide his lips shall have destruction', and 'in a multitude of words there wanteth not sin'. Misuse these and similar to keep him from ones like 'there is a time for every purpose under heaven', and 'he that hath my word let him speak my word faithfully' and 'then they that feared Yahweh spake often one to another' and 'the lips of the wise disperse knowledge, but the heart of the foolish doeth not so' and 'be always ready to give an answer' and 'disputed in the market daily with them that met with him' and 'answer a fool according to his folly' and 'ye see how long a letter' and 'reprove, rebuke, exhort' and 'thou shalt rebuke thy neighbour, and not suffer sin upon him', etc, etc..."
