Proverbs 10:31

Bringeth forth ... - As a tree full of life and sap brings forth its fruit. So the "froward tongue" is like a tree that brings forth evil and not good fruit; it "shall be cut down." The abuse of God' s gift of speech will lead ultimately to its forfeiture. There shall, at last, be the silence of shame and confusion.
