[hometext] => Sticks and stones can break the bones but words bring destruction.
[bodytext] => An instrument of deceit is the lying tongue, a lash for slander where accusations are slung. reckless words like a sword slice and pierce, on the lips the poison of vipers is fierce. plots destruction toward those it hates, as a deadly arrow for an enemy waits. brings angry looks as it mutters wicked things, falls into trouble as maliciousness rings. by a small spark can a great forest be set on fire as the fiery tongue of the one who is called a liar. the wise keep silent and remain on hold, but a fortune is made by deceptive ones untold. among the parts of the body is a world of evil, where devastation reigns through total upheaval.
