I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak. The accountability for careless words on the day of judgment escalates the stakes of the Pharisees' speech: the Beelzebul charge was not merely inaccurate but accountable before God. If careless words carry judgment, the deliberate attribution of the Spirit's work to Satan carries even greater accountability. The every careless word communicates the comprehensive scope of the judgment's examination.
