Commentary for Proverbs 18:21

מָ֣וֶת וְ֭חַיִּים בְּיַד־לָשׁ֑וֹן וְ֝אֹהֲבֶ֗יהָ יֹאכַ֥ל פִּרְיָֽהּ׃

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; And they that indulge it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Rashi on Proverbs

and those who love it will eat its produce He who loves his tongue and accustoms it to [speaking words of] Torah, partakes of its reward in this world.
