my father would teach me. He would say, "Remember what I say and never forget it. Do as I tell you, and you will live.

Listen to me, my child. Take seriously what I am telling you, and you will live a long life.

If you do, it will be like good medicine, healing your wounds and easing your pains.

Thoughtless words can wound as deeply as any sword, but wisely spoken words can heal.

But I will heal this city and its people and restore them to health. I will show them abundant peace and security.
