(“‘He will spur you on—he will guide your mouth to consider words carefully according to their nature’” (Rashi on Job 16:3), and likewise: “And once I combined carefully considered words, which contain rebuke and correction for the soul, and which sharpen one’s work and awaken one to prayer; they are in Hebrew and are called rebuke. Afterwards I added pure words in Hebrew of praise and thanksgiving to God, asking forgiveness and entreaty—many words that awaken the heart of the worshipper and stir one’s nature, and are called petition” (Sefer Chovot HaLevavot, Gate 10, Gate of Love of God, ch. 6), and likewise: “He turned to him and said: How carefully considered the words are! You are wise to see the newborn; all is said with understanding and knowledge; the words of the mouth of the wise have grace… Blessed is the generation whose elders are heard by the young; may our portion be with them” (Mordechai ben Yechezkel, Sefer HaMa’asiyot, vol. 4, Hashavat Avedah, p. 215).)
