Micah 2:12-13
"Someday, O Israel, I will gather you;
I will gather the remnant who are left.
I will bring you together again like sheep in a pen,
like a flock in its pasture.
Yes, your land will again
be filled with noisy crowds!
Your leader will break out 
and lead you out of exile, 
out through the gates of the enemy cities,
back to your own land.
Your king will lead you;
the LORD himself will guide you."

Ephesians 4:29
New International Version (©1984) Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen.

New Living Translation (©2007) Don't use foul or abusive language. Let everything you say be good and helpful, so that your words will be an encouragement to those who hear them.

English Standard Version (©2001) Let no corrupting talk come out of your mouths, but only such as is good for building up, as fits the occasion, that it may give grace to those who hear.

New American Standard Bible (©1995) Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.

Holman Christian Standard Bible (©2009) No foul language is to come from your mouth, but only what is good for building up someone in need, so that it gives grace to those who hear. International

Standard Version (©2012) Let no filthy talk be heard from your mouths, but only what is good for building up people and meeting the need of the moment. This way you will administer grace to those who hear you.

King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

Aramaic Bible in Plain English (©2010) Let not any hateful words come out of your mouth, but whatever is good and useful for improvement that you may give grace to those who hear.

GOD'S WORD® Translation (©1995) Don't say anything that would hurt [another person]. Instead, speak only what is good so that you can give help wherever it is needed. That way, what you say will help those who hear you.

No matter how you say it, this truth still stands, we are not to use foul language in any way shape or form as we are ambassadors for Christ. And just because you didn't actually SAY it doesn't make it okay, people still see that you wrote it, or pinned it, or tweeted it, or blogged it.

But that which is good - Profitable to the speaker and hearers. To the use of edifying - To forward them in REPENTANCE, FAITH, or HOLINESS. That it may minister grace - Be a means of conveying more grace into their hearts. Hence we learn, what discourse is corrupt, as it were stinking in the nostrils of God; namely, all that is not profitable, not edifying, not apt to minister grace to the hearers.
