Good Morning!
Here is Genesis 2:7, Psalm 12.
Words and puffing are the airs that men conspire. Literally conspire is aspiration ( con + spire ) ( a + spiral + tion ) which is breath. The Holy Spirit or Holy Ghost is breath. God put this breath in man. It's what comes out of man's mouth that makes him impure.

Psalm 12
Psa 12 KJV “Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.
2. They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: with flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak.
3. The LORD shall cut off all flattering lips, and the tongue that speaketh proud things:
4. Who have said, With our tongue will we prevail; our lips are our own: who is lord over us?
5. For the oppression of the poor, for the sighing of the needy, now will I arise, saith the LORD; I will set him in safety from him that puffeth at him.
6. The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.
8. The wicked walk on every side, when the vilest men are exalted.”

Matthew 15:11
Mat 15:11 KJV “ Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man...”
Matthew 15:17-20
Mat 15:17-20 KJV “ Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?
18. But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.
19. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:
20. These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man...”

What we say is important in it's positive and negative aspect. Understand that the breath, itself isn't unholy but the aspiration from our hearts is when we are not in communion with the Holy Spirit!
When we are in communion doing the Lord's work we need not puff up, brag, embellish or speak cleverly...

Matthew 10:16-20
Mat 10:16-20 KJV Ҧ Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.
17. But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;
18. And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.
19. But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
20. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you...”
