A word fitly spoken Is like apples of gold in network of silver.As an ear- ring of gold, and an ornament of fine gold, So is a wise reprover upon an obedient ear.
The Lord Jehovah hath given me the tongue of them that are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as they that are taught.
The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.
