Job 6:25

How painful are honest words! But what does your reproof prove?

Your words have supported those who stumbled, and you have strengthened the knees that gave way.

If only you would keep completely silent! For you, that would be wisdom.

Will there be an end to your windy words? Or what provokes you that you answer?

So how can you console me with your futile words? Nothing is left of your answers but deception!"

"If this is not so, who can prove me a liar and reduce my words to nothing?"

With Job's three friends he was also angry, because they could not find an answer, and so declared Job guilty.

Speaking recklessly is like the thrusts of a sword, but the words of the wise bring healing.

The one who is wise in heart is called discerning, and kind speech increases persuasiveness.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love its use will eat its fruit.

Like apples of gold in settings of silver, so is a word skillfully spoken.

The Teacher sought to find delightful words, and to write accurately truthful sayings.
