Job 33:3. My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
What a lesson this is to those of us who preach to others, - that we speak out of the uprightness of our heart, and feel that, however others may judge us, we are sincere before God in what we say! How necessary also is it, especially in these days, that we should speak plainly, so as to be easily understood! Some men never think clearly, and therefore they never speak clearly; and, oftentimes, the darkness of a man’s speech is only the result of the darkness of his mind; he has no clearly-defined notion of what he has to say. Let every young man who has to teach others resolve that this utterance of Elihu shall be his also, "My lips shall utter knowledge clearly."
