Proverbs 15:4
As a tree gives fruit, healing words give life, but dishonest [deceitful; perverse] words crush the spirit. [Expanded Bible]
Kind words are like the fruit of a tree that gives life. But words that are not honest make people sad and weak. [EasyEnglish Bible]
The wholesome tongue is a tree of life, and he that keeps it shall be filled with understanding. [Brenton Septuagint Translation]
Kind words are good medicine, but deceitful words can really hurt. [Contemporary English Version]
