Job 6:25

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

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

I might give you strength with my mouth, and not keep back the comfort of my lips.

There are some whose uncontrolled talk is like the wounds of a sword, but the tongue of the wise makes one well again.

The wise-hearted will be named men of good sense: and by pleasing words learning is increased.

Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and those to whom it is dear will have its fruit for their food.

A word at the right time is like apples of gold in a network of silver.

The Preacher made search for words which were pleasing, but his writing was in words upright and true.

If only you would keep quiet, it would be a sign of wisdom!

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

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?

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?

And he was angry with his three friends, because they had been unable to give him an answer, and had not made Job's sin clear.
