Job 6:25

Honest words are so painful! But what do your arguments prove?

When someone stumbled, you lifted him up with your words. When knees were weak, you gave them strength.

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

Is there no limit to windy words? Or what provokes you that you answer?

How then will you comfort me with empty and futile words? There is nothing left of your answers but falsehood.

If it is not so, who will prove me a liar, and show that there is nothing in what I say?

He was angry also with Job's three friends because they found no answer, though they had declared Job to be in the wrong.

There is one who speaks rashly like the piercing of a sword. The tongue of the wise brings a cure.

The wise in heart will be called sensible. The sweetness of the lips increases learning.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue. Those who love it will eat the fruit.

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

The preacher sought to find out acceptable words. That which was written was upright, even words of truth.
