I don't believe this is said directly. It is implied from the narrative that describes the sun changing direction and then changing back again. The assumption is easily made that since earth's rotation results in what we experience as the apparent motion of the sun, then the narrative can only mean that earth's rotation was changed. but that is a modern assumption, and it is not what the text says. The writers of that account probably had no clue at all that it is the rotation of our sphere-like earth that causes the apparent motion of the sun across the sky.

Where does the Bible say say what you mean and mean what you say?

That is not from the Bible. Neither is 'god helps those who help themselves', or 'money is the root of all evil'. The closest thing that the Bible says is this: 12But above all things, my brethren, swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.A colloquial explanation of this would be as in the question 'mean what you say.' People should not need to add oaths to what they say to prove their sincerity. Likely if people do this in ordinary speech they are the more likely to be suspect.Well the bible does not say exactly that but "let your yes be yes and your no be no" Matt 5:37.

Does it say in the Bible that a widow may not remarry?

In the Bible, it does not specifically say that a widow may not remarry. However, some interpretations of certain Bible verses suggest that widows may choose to remain single to focus on serving God. Ultimately, whether a widow chooses to remarry is a personal decision guided by their own beliefs and values.
