Holy Scripture
Psalms 37:14
A church father on this verse
“What is the sword of the wicked? It is the absolute opposite to the sword of the Holy Spirit.… God's Word is the sword of the Holy Spirit. But the sword of the wicked is the evil word.… Stupid and petulant speech issues from their mouths as from a scabbard, and would it not have been better to restrain it and bury it?…”

In context
12My friends and my neighbors drew near before me, and stood still; And my nearest of kin stood afar off.
13While they pressed hard upon me that sought my soul: And they that sought my hurt spoke vanities, And devised deceits all the day.
— Psalms 37:14 —
15And I was as a man that hears not, And who has no reproofs in his mouth.
16For I hoped in thee, O Lord: Thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.
