But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts. Always be ready to give an answer to everyone who asks you a reason concerning the hope that is in you, with humility and fear,

Moreover you shall provide out of all the people able men which fear God: men of truth, hating unjust gain; and place such over them, to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.Let them judge the people at all times. It shall be that every great matter they shall bring to you, but every small matter they shall judge themselves. So shall it be easier for you, and they shall share the load with you.If you will do this thing, and God commands you so, then you will be able to endure, and all these people also will go to their place in peace.”So Moses listened to the voice of his father- in- law, and did all that he had said.Moses chose able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.

But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come out to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings out are from of old, from ancient times.

But Peter began, and explained to them in order, saying,

He who answers before he hears, that is folly and shame to him.

So, then, my beloved brothers, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger;

The plans of the heart belong to man, but the answer of the tongue is from Yahweh.

An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips.

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.
