⁶ Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.

15 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger.

² The tongue of the wise useth knowledge aright: but the mouth of fools poureth out foolishness.

⁴ A wholesome tongue is a tree of life: but perverseness therein is a breach in the spirit.

¹¹ A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver.
