How this happened no one knows. The Power of Language Solomon said words have great power for both good and evil. James also wrote of their power. If we put bits into the mouths of horses that they may obey us, we guide their whole bodies. If we have enough wisdom, we can use them to understand even the inner thoughts of others.
Words used skillfully bring rewards.
Indeed some men are able to earn a living by them. If a man is a fool, his words will hurt him because he will not know how to use their power. A fool's lips bring strife, and his mouth invites a flogging. Words well spoken can be very beautiful, bringing joy and happiness. To make an apt answer is a joy to a man.
