How To Speak

The Lord GOD hath given me the tongue of the learned, that I should know how to speak a word in season to him that is weary: he wakeneth morning by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the learned.

Then said I, Ah, Lord GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.

That I may make it manifest, as I ought to speak.

• Salt

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

Now therefore go, and I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say.

And Moses said before the LORD, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh hearken unto me?

• Guiding

Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.

But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
