Don't form previous opinion about someone.
Don't let our mind cause us to be double minded. Unweaving like Abraham. Don't weaver.

Cultural and Historical Background:
In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "saphah" as "lip" was closely tied to SPEECH and COMMUNICATION, which were considered POWERFUL and SIGNIFICANT.
The lips were seen as the GATEWAY for WORDS, which could bless or curse, build up or destroy.
The metaphorical use of "saphah" to mean "language" reflects the IMPORTANCE of COMMUNICATION in maintaining cultural and religious identity, especially in a time when oral tradition was a primary means of preserving history and law.
