What does the Bible say about a fool's mouth?

Answered in 1 source

Proverbs 18:7 states that a fool's mouth is his destruction and his lips are a snare to his soul.

Proverbs 18:7 teaches that a fool's mouth brings destruction upon himself and entraps his soul. This is echoed in Matthew 15:10-11, where Jesus emphasizes that it is not what enters the mouth that defiles a person, but what comes out of it, revealing the state of one's heart. The genuine concern here is not merely about speech, but what lies within—our hearts. A wise man guards his tongue, knowing that the words we speak stem from our innermost being (Matthew 12:34).
