Fittingly, Solomon admonishes us: “Remove from yourself the crookedness of speech; and the deviousness of lips put far away from yourself.

Proverbs 4:24-27.

In view of Solomon’s admonition, we need to examine our speech and our actions. If we are to safeguard the heart and please God, crooked speech and deviousness must be avoided. (Proverbs 3:32) Therefore, we should prayerfully reflect on what our words and deeds reveal about us. Then let us seek Jehovah’s help in order to correct any weakness we detect.​—Psalm 139:23, 24.
