A neat little aphorism. I'm not a believer but as someone who enjoys language and poetry I like reading psalms and proverbs. This one of yours is well-honed and effective.

well honed" hehe I see what you did there.
Thanks. I wanted to reflect the feeling of the sharpness of words. How words can cut to the heart of a matter quickly and as you have said effectively.
I think it is interesting that words and swords are only one letter away from each other.
