Matthew Henry · Verse 14
When men use their tongues aright, to teach and comfort others, they enjoy acceptance through Christ Jesus; and the testimony of their conscience, that they in some measure answer the end of their being.
Proverbs 12:14
A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth. The work of a man’s hands shall be rewarded to him.
