[quote:DGN:MV80MzkwNzMyXzc5OTM5NTkyXzgzMzA4QTQ3] 4. In line with Proverbs 9:9, how can our speech help others? 4 Elders should not hesitate to speak up if they see that a brother or a sister needs counsel. Of course, they would choose the right time to speak so that they do not needlessly embarrass the person. They would want to wait until they are in a private setting. Elders always endeavor to speak in a way that preserves the dignity of the listener. Still, they do not hold back from sharing Bible principles that can help others to act wisely. (Read Proverbs 9:9.) Why is it so important that we have the courage to speak up when necessary? Consider two contrasting examples: In one case, a man needed to correct his sons, and in the other, a woman had to confront a future king. [/quote]

“There is . . . a time to be silent and a time to speak.”—ECCL. 3:1,
1. What does Ecclesiastes 3:1, 7 teach us?
SOME of us like to talk a lot. Others like to be quiet. As the theme text of this article points out, there is both a time to speak and a time to be silent. (Read Ecclesiastes 3:1, 7.) Still, we may wish that some of our brothers and sisters would talk more. And we may want some to talk less.
