How painful an honest discussion can be! In correcting me, you correct yourselves!
I wish you would keep silent. For you, that would be wisdom.
How can you comfort me with this nonsense when your answers continue to betray me?”
“If it isn’t so, who can prove I’m a liar and show that my words are worthless?”
Certainly, you have all seen it. Why then do you chatter on about such nonsense?
Elihu was also very angry with Job’s three friends because they had found no answer. They made it look as if God were wrong.
When someone stumbled, you lifted him up with your words. When knees were weak, you gave them strength.
Teach me, and I’ll be silent. Show me where I’ve been wrong.
Do you think my words need correction? Do you think they’re what a desperate person says to the wind?
Careless words stab like a sword, but the words of wise people bring healing.
A person is delighted to hear an answer from his own mouth, and a timely word—oh, how good!
The tongue has the power of life and death, and those who love to talk will have to eat their own words.
⌞Like⌟ golden apples in silver settings, ⌞so⌟ is a word spoken at the right time.
