'Words' in the Bible

The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

Be not unwise with your mouth, and let not your heart be quick to say anything before God, because God is in heaven and you are on the earth--so let not the number of your words be great.

As a dream comes from much business, so the voice of a foolish man comes with words in great number.

Let not your mouth make your flesh do evil. And say not before the angel, It was an error. So that God may not be angry with your words and put an end to the work of your hands.

There are words without number for increasing what is to no purpose, but what is man profited by them?

Do not give ear to all the words which men say, for fear of hearing the curses of your servant.

Then I said, Wisdom is better than strength, but the poor man's wisdom is not respected, and his words are not given a hearing.

The words of the wise which come quietly to the ear are noted more than the cry of a ruler among the foolish.

The words of a wise man's mouth are sweet to all, but the lips of a foolish man are his destruction.

The first words of his mouth are foolish, and the end of his talk is evil crime.

The foolish are full of words; man has no knowledge of what will be; and who is able to say what will be after him?

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

The words of the wise are pointed, and sayings grouped together are like nails fixed with a hammer; they are given by one guide.
