Proverbs 15:4

 2 The tongue of the wise adorns knowledge,   but the mouth of the fool gushes folly.    3 The eyes   of the Lord are everywhere,   keeping watch on the wicked and the good.    4 The soothing tongue   is a tree of life,   but a perverse tongue crushes the spirit.   

From Wikipedia: 

The New International Version (NIV) is an English translation of the Bible first published in 1978 by Biblica (formerly the International Bible Society). The NIV was published to meet the need for a modern translation done by Bible scholars using the earliest, highest quality manuscripts available. Of equal importance was that the Bible be expressed in broadly understood modern English.

The NIV is published by Zondervan in the United States and Hodder & Stoughton in the UK. The NIV was updated in 1984 and 2011 and has become one of the most popular and best-selling modern translations.
