'Words' in the Bible

Thy words have upholden him that was stumbling, and thou hast braced up the bending knees:

For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; therefore my words are vehement.

Then should I yet have comfort; and in the pain which spareth not I would rejoice that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

How forcible are right words! but what doth your upbraiding reprove?

Do ye imagine to reprove words? The speeches of one that is desperate are indeed for the wind.

How long wilt thou speak these things? and the words of thy mouth be a strong wind?

Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?

How much less shall I answer him, choose out my words to strive with him?

Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man of much talk be justified?

Doth not the ear try words, as the palate tasteth food?

That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest words go out of thy mouth?

Shall words of wind have an end? or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?

I also could speak as ye: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join together words against you, and shake my head at you;

How long will ye hunt for words? Be intelligent, and then we will speak.

How long will ye vex my soul, and crush me with words?

Oh would that my words were written! oh that they were inscribed in a book!

Receive, I pray thee, instruction from his mouth, and lay up his words in thy heart.

I would know the words he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.

Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have laid up the words of his mouth more than the purpose of my own heart.

For whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

After my words they spoke not again, and my speech dropped upon them;

Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and tares instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.

Lo, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasonings, until ye searched out what to say.

Yea, I gave you mine attention, and behold, there was none of you that confuted Job, that answered his words;

Now he hath not directed his words against me; and I will not answer him with your speeches. ...

They were amazed, they answered no more; words failed them.

Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear mine utterances, and hearken to all my words.

My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart, and my lips shall utter knowledge purely.

If thou canst, answer me; array thy words before me: take thy stand.

Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words: --

Hear my words, ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.

For the ear trieth words, as the palate tasteth food.

If now thou hast understanding, hear this: give ear to the voice of my words!

Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were not with intelligence.

For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.

I will reply to thee in words, and to thy companions with thee.

For Job hath opened his mouth in vanity, and made words abundant without knowledge.

Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet words for +God.

For truly my words shall be no falsehood: one perfect in knowledge is with thee.

Teach us what we shall say unto him! We cannot order our words by reason of darkness.

Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

And it came to pass after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, that Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, Mine anger is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken rightly of me, like my servant Job.
