'Words' in the Bible

When the Lord's messenger finished speaking these words to all the Israelites, the people wept loudly.

When Zebul, the city commissioner, heard the words of Gaal son of Ebed, he was furious.

Zebul said to him, "Where now are your bragging words, 'Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?' Are these not the men you insulted? Go out now and fight them!"
