To make an apt answer is a joy to anyone, and a word in season, how good it is!

The plans of the mind belong to mortals, but the answer of the tongue is from the Lord.

How forceful are honest words! But your reproof, what does it reprove?

but those who rebuke the wicked will have delight, and a good blessing will come upon them.

Prepare your work outside; get everything ready for you in the field; and after that build your house.
