Job 6:25

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?

Thy words have upholden him that was stumbling, and thou hast braced up the bending knees:

But I would encourage you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips should assuage your pain.

There is that babbleth like the piercings of a sword; but the tongue of the wise is health.

The wise in heart is called intelligent, and the sweetness of the lips increaseth learning.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

As apples of gold in pictures of silver, is a word spoken in season.

The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words; and that which was written is upright, words of truth.

Oh that ye would be altogether silent! and it would be your wisdom.

Shall words of wind have an end? or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?

How then comfort ye me in vain? Your answers remain perfidious.

If it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

and against his three friends was his anger kindled, because they found no answer, and yet condemned Job.
