'Words' in the Bible

He who was near to falling has been lifted up by your words, and you have given strength to bent knees.

For then its weight would be more than the sand of the seas: because of this my words have been uncontrolled.

So I would still have comfort, and I would have joy in the pains of death, for I have not been false to the words of the Holy One.

How pleasing are upright words! but what force is there in your arguments?

My words may seem wrong to you, but the words of him who has no hope are for the wind.

So I will not keep my mouth shut; I will let the words come from it in the pain of my spirit, my soul will make a bitter outcry.

How long will you say these things, and how long will the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?

Will they not give you teaching, and say words of wisdom to you?

How much less may I give an answer to him, using the right words in argument with him?

My soul is tired of life; I will let my sad thoughts go free in words; my soul will make a bitter outcry.

Are all these words to go unanswered? and is a man seen to be right because he is full of talk?

Are your words of pride to make men keep quiet? and are you to make sport, with no one to put you to shame?

Are not words tested by the ear, even as food is tasted by the mouth?

He makes the words of responsible persons without effect, and takes away the good sense of the old;

Give ear to the argument of my mouth, and take note of the words of my lips.

Will you say in God's name what is not right, and put false words into his mouth?

Give ear with care to my words, and keep what I say in your minds.

Will he make arguments with words in which is no profit, and with sayings which have no value?

So that you are turning your spirit against God, and letting such words go out of your mouth?

Take note and give ear to my words; and I will say what I have seen:

May words which are like the wind be stopped? or what is troubling you to make answer to them?

It would not be hard for me to say such things if your souls were in my soul's place; joining words together against you, and shaking my head at you:

Their mouths are open wide against me; the blows of his bitter words are falling on my face; all of them come together in a mass against me.

How long will you make my life bitter, crushing me with words?

If only my words might be recorded! if they might be put in writing in a book!

Give attention with care to my words; and let this be your comfort.

Why then do you give me comfort with words in which there is no profit, when you see that there is nothing in your answers but deceit?

Be pleased to take teaching from his mouth, and let his words be stored up in your heart.

I have never gone against the orders of his lips; the words of his mouth have been stored up in my heart.

And if it is not so, now, who will make it clear that my words are false, and that what I say is of no value?

To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?

The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words.

The chiefs kept back their words, and their tongues were joined to the roofs of their mouths.

After I had said what was in my mind, they were quiet and let my words go deep into their hearts;

I would make clear the number of my steps, I would put it before him like a prince! The words of Job are ended.

I was waiting for your words, I was giving ear to your wise sayings; while you were searching out what to say,

I was taking note; and truly not one of you was able to make clear Job's error, or to give an answer to his words.

I will not put forward words like these, or make use of your sayings in answer to him.

Fear has overcome them, they have no more answers to give; they have come to an end of words.

For I am full of words, I am unable to keep in my breath any longer:

And now, O Job, give ear to my words, and take note of all I say.

See, now my mouth is open, my tongue gives out words.

Why do you put forward your cause against him, saying, He gives no answer to any of my words?

Give ear, you wise, to my words; and you who have knowledge, give attention to me;

For words are tested by the ear, as food is tasted by the mouth.

If you are wise, take note of this; give ear to the voice of my words.

Job's words do not come from knowledge; they are not the fruit of wisdom.

For in addition to his sin, he is uncontrolled in heart; before our eyes he makes sport of God, increasing his words against him.

And Job's mouth is open wide to give out what is of no profit, increasing words without knowledge.

For truly my words are not false; one who has all knowledge is talking with you.

Who is this who makes the purpose of God dark by words without knowledge?

Will he make prayers to you, or say soft words to you?

Who is this who makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out.

And it came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.
