Ok, I was reading in Proverbs and I found some interesting thoughts, and of course, this is just my opinion that it's what these scriptures are saying....
Tactfulness
15:23 - A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
Think before you speak
15:28
The heart of the righteous studieth to answer: but the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.
17:28
Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding.
Gossip
17:9
He that covereth a transgression seeketh love; but he that repeateth a matter separateth very friends.
20:19
He that goeth about as a talebearer revealeth secrets: therefore meddle not with him that flattereth with his lips.
Interrupting
18:13
He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.
Spoiling Children
19:18-19
Chasten thy son while there is hope, and let not thy soul spare for his crying. A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.
Meddling
20:3
It is an honour for a man to cease from strife: but every fool will be meddling.
Seeking revenge
20:22
Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the LORD, and he shall save thee.
my personal favorite!!! I interpret this as "It is better to be single than in a bad relationship". :)
21:19
It is better to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman.
