Death and Life Are in the Power of the Tongue
Words bear fruit that people eventually eat, and Proverbs states the principle starkly: death and life are in the power of the tongue. The cluster then turns to marriage, class, and friendship, ending with the possibility of a friend whose loyalty can surpass ordinary kinship.
Proverbs summarizes that death and life are in the power of the tongue; James likewise portrays the tongue as capable of setting a whole course ablaze while also being used for blessing.
