Job 6:25

How painful are {upright words}! But what does {your reproof} reprove?

Your words have raised up [the one who] stumbles, and you have strengthened knees giving way.

{O that} you would keep completely silent, and [that] it would become wisdom for you.

[Is there] a limit to windy words? What provokes you that you answer?

So how will you comfort me [with] emptiness, when fraud is left [in] your answers?"

"And if [it is] not [so], then who can prove me a liar and reduce my word to nothing?"

and {he became angry} at his three friends because they had not found an answer, and they had declared Job guilty.

There is one who speaks rashly, like the thrust of a sword, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.

The wise of heart is called perceptive, but he who is pleasant of lips will increase persuasiveness.

Death and life [are] in the {power} of the tongue, and those who love her will eat of her fruit.

Apples of gold in a setting of silver is a matter spoken at its proper time.

The Teacher sought to find delightful words, and he wrote what is upright--truthful words.
