It is interesting to note that two of the Ten Commandments deal with sins of the tongue:

• The third commandment deals with profanity, the ninth commandment deals with perjury;

• The third commandment deals with talking trash, the ninth commandment deals with telling the truth;

• The third commandment calls for holy language, the ninth commandment calls for honest language.

The way a person verbally respects God, tells you a lot about how he personally relates to God.
