Guard your tongue Never let a word of wickedness leave your mouth. Dont ever say you will be wicked or commit a sin, even if you mean it as a joke and have no intention of carrying out your words. The words themselves can be very damaging. They can compel you to fulfill them even though you did not mean them seriously. This was what caused King Jehus downfall, because he said, Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him very much ( II Kings 10:18 ) . When King Jehu said these words, he had no intention of committing idolatry. He said them only to trick the Baal worshipers, as explained in the following verse. Yet these words were his downfall, because he later came to commit idolatry. From this the Talmud learns that a covenant is made with the lips ( Sanhedrin 102a) . You should therefore be very careful about what you say. Sichot Haran #237 * * *
