13 Every offering of your meal offering you shall season with salt; neither shall you allow the salt of the covenant of your God to be lacking from your meal offering. With all your offerings you shall offer salt.

Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.
