A man takes joy in a fitting reply— and how good is a timely word!
A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!
Note due…: Heb. his season
Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time!
A man hath joy in the answer of his mouth; And a word in due season, how good is it!
