The Mouth of the Righteous

Μετὰ τοῦτο ἤνοιξεν Ἰὼβ τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ Ὅτι δίκαιος ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα, οὐχ ἁπλῶς οὑτωσὶ προσήκει προσέχειν τοῖς λεγομένοις, ἀλλὰ τὰ ἐκ τῶν λόγων ἀναζητεῖν ὠφέλειαν. Μεστὰ γὰρ ἀεὶ ὠφελείας τὰ τοιαῦτα ῥήματα τῶν ἁγίων· καὶ ἀνοίγων τὸ στόμα δίκαιος, κεκρυμμένους δημοσιεύευ θησαυρούς. Διὸ καὶ τὸ σκεῦος τῆς ἐκλογῆς ὁ Παῦλος ἐπιστέλλων φησί· Τὸ στόμα μου ἀνέῳγε πρὸς ὑμᾶς, Κορίνθιοι. Καὶ περὶ τοῦ Κυρίου γέγραπται ὅτι Ἀνοίξας τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ ἐδίδασκε. Καὶ ἁπλῶς ἐκεῖνος μαρτυρεῖται στόμα ἀνοίγειν, ὁ σιωπῆς μέτρα πρότερον διδαχθείς. Οὐκεοῦν καὶ Ἰὼβ ἀνοίγει τὸ στόμα μετὰ τοῦτο· τουτέστι μετὰ το μέγα τρόπαιον, μετ' ἐκεῖνα τὰ πάθη, οὐκ ἀβασανίστως φθέγγεται περιαλγῶν τῷ σώματι, τῆς γλώσσης φθανούσης τὸ τῆς φρονήσεως ἔνθεσμον, ἀλλὰ σωφρονῶν καὶ ταῖς φωναῖς ὑποδείκνυται. Δηλοῖ δὲ καὶ τὴν γαλήνην τῆς ψυχῆς καὶ τῶν ῥημάτων τὸ ἐμπρεπὲς ἡ τοῦ ἀνοῖξαι τὸ στόμα αὐτοῦ μαρτυρία. Ὠριγένης, Εκλογαι Εἰς Τον Ιὠβ

After this Job opened his mouth. 1 Because it is a righteous man that has opened his mouth, he should not seek to conform to those who have spoken, but he should seek that from his words he do good. Full of goodness indeed always are the words of the holy, and when the righteous mouth opens it brings forth hidden treasures. Thus even that vase of election, Paul, writes, saying, 'My mouth has opened itself to you, O Corinthians.' 2 And concerning the Lord it is written, 'Opening His mouth He taught them.' 3 And he bears witness to this opening of the mouth, who before has been taught in silence. Thus Job opened his mouth after this, that is, after the great trophy, after his sufferings, not without affliction of his body speaking of grief, the law of prudence coming before the work of the tongue, for in the voices of those who are temperate this is shown. And clear then is the tranquility of the soul and the weightiness of the words, of whom, in given witness, it is said, he opened his mouth. Origen, On Job, Fragments  1 Job 3.1  2 2 Cor 6.11  3 Mt 5.2
