but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
Proverbs 12:18

A man of knowledge uses words with restraint,
and a man of understanding is even-tempered.
Proverbs 17:27

The quiet words of the wise are more to be heeded
than the shouts of a ruler of fools.

Pleasant words are a honeycomb,
sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

Words from a wise man's mouth are gracious,
but a fool is consumed by his own lips.

and my words descend like dew,
like showers on new grass,
like abundant rain on tender plants.

Always be prepared to give an answer
to everyone who asks you to give
the reason for the hope that you have.
