¹³ You shall season all your grain offerings with salt. Do not let the salt of the covenant with your God^[a] be lacking from your grain offering. On every offering you shall offer salt.^(A)

^13 (A)“You are the salt of the earth. But if salt loses its taste, with what can it be seasoned? It is no longer good for anything but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot.^[a]

³⁴ “Salt is good, but if salt itself loses its taste, with what can its flavor be restored?^{(A) 35} It is fit neither for the soil nor for the manure pile; it is thrown out. Whoever has ears to hear ought to hear.”^(B)

⁶ Let your speech always be gracious, seasoned with salt, so that you know how you should respond to each one.
