Proverbs 10:19, 31-32
19 In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains his lips is wise. 31 The mouth of the righteous brings forth wisdom, But the perverse tongue will be cut out. 32 The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable, But the mouth of the wicked what is perverse.

Wisdom means choosing words that matter, not speaking many that do not have understanding based on knowledge - God's wisdom from His word. These verses in Proverbs show God looks at our unnameable tongue and tells us to guide it with wisdom. This is our challenge and victory is found in walking with Christ, being transformed into ever increasing glory by His mercy and grace.
