In the story of Job we see Job’s wife mouth is being used to speak the lies of the devil.
When the devil went before God concerning Job, he told God that Job was only loyal because of God’s hedge of protection around him. -That if God had taken it away, Job would Curse Him.
Job 1: 1-11
10 “Have you not put a hedge(Z) around him and his household and everything he has?(AA) You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land.(AB) 11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has,(AC) and he will surely CURSE you to your face.”
Later in the story we see that Job’s wife is made to echo the same lying/death statement that satan mentioned to God about Job in the beginning.
Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God and die." -Job 2:9 9
Is your mouth being used to speak God’s words of truth & life to yourself and others, or is the devil using it to speak his lies and death to the same. Selah!
Proverbs 18:21 puts it this way: “The tongue has the power of life and death.”
