What Does the Bible Say About Verbal Abuse?

Amen. What is worse is when a national leader habitually uses verbal abuse against his political opponents and is supported by so called religious leaders.

Matthew 5:22 (NIV2011)
22 But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister, ‘Raca,’ is answerable to the court**. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’ will be in danger of the fire of hell.**

Judge not lest you be judged also.
