• The answer that leaves no regrets will be a word spoken in its season. True words are not necessarily seasonable ones. Many a sorrow and heartache has been caused, both to the speaker and others, by repeating what in itself was true enough, but which should never have been passed on to a third party. But a word in season is precious and helpful, refreshing to the hearer, and giving joy to the one who utters it, After the idle speculations of the three friends of Job, how seasonable was the answer of Elihu! (“Proverbs Fifteen” by H.A. Ironside)
