| A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver. As an earring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, so is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear. – Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers. – A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. – By thy words thou shalt be justified. – The tongue of the wise is health. |
| They that feared the Lord spake often one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name. |
| If thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth. – Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, … see that ye abound in this grace also. |
