Words at the Right Time

Read the Story

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger. A gentle tongue is a tree of life.

Yahweh's eyes are everywhere, keeping watch on the evil and the good. He hears the prayer of the righteous.

Better is a dinner of herbs, where love is, than a fattened calf with hatred. Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time!
