Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.
There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
My son, eat honey, for it is good, and the drippings of the honeycomb are sweet to your taste. Know that wisdom is such to your soul; if you find it, there will be a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in a setting of silver. Like a gold ring or an ornament of gold is a wise reprover to a listening ear.
For they are life to those who find them, and healing to all their flesh.
My inmost being will exult when your lips speak what is right.
It will be healing to your flesh and refreshment to your bones.
How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth!
Oil and perfume make the heart glad, and the sweetness of a friend comes from his earnest counsel.
More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb.
Your words were found, and I ate them, and your words became to me a joy and the delight of my heart, for I am called by your name, O Lord, God of hosts.
The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the Lord, but gracious words are pure.
May my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, like gentle rain upon the tender grass, and like showers upon the herb.
On the evening of that day, the first day of the week, the doors being locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, “Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I am sending you.”
To make an apt answer is a joy to a man, and a word in season, how good it is!
Your lips drip nectar, my bride; honey and milk are under your tongue; the fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
