Right Words
Job 6:25
How forcible are right words! but what does your arguing reprove?


Words are right three ways.

I. IN THE MATTER, when they are true.

II. IN THE MANNER, when they are plain, direct, and perspicuous.

III. IN THEIR USE, when they are duly and properly applied; when the arrow is carried home to the white, then they are right words, or words of righteousness. When this threefold rightness meets in words, how forcible, how strong are such words!

(J. Caryl.)
