For the upright shall dwell in the land, and the perfect shall remain in it.
The promise that the upright will dwell in the land and the blameless will remain in it is to be read and carefully considered as instruction for honoring the Lord with the tongue. It calls for guarding speech so that words glorify God rather than being wasted in profitless talk. It corrects the habit of too much visiting and unprofitable conversation, directing time and speech toward what is edifying and reverent.
