Does he argue with useless talk and words that have no value in them?
Should he reason with unprofitable talk? Or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
Should he reason with unprofitable talk? Or with speeches with which he can do no good?
Should he reason with unprofitable talk, Or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
Will they argue with a word that has no benefit and with unprofitable words?
You rebuke with words he who is not equal to you, and you speak what is not expedient for you,
Thou reprovest him by words, who is not equal to thee: and thou speakest that which is not good for thee.
“Does a wise man answer with empty knowledge, or fill his belly with the east wind?
You even do away with reverence and hinder devotion before God.
Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, to know how you ought to answer everyone.
