In the heat of anger.
When you do not have all the facts.
When you haven't verified the story.

If your words will offend.
Be a poor reflection of;
or give anyone but God the glory.

When it is time to listen.
When it's none of your business.
If someone else's reputation it will ruin.

When you can't help but yell.
If it is a lie you're going to tell.
Or start an unpleasant situation brewing.

If you would be ashamed of your words.
8:8 Proverbs.
Making light of holy things is corrupt.

Advice for the day.
Don't forget to pray.
A poem to tell you when to keep your mouth shut.
