Have I not written to thee excellent things of counsels and knowledge,

See the chapter Copy

Hear, for I will speak excellent things. And the opening of my lips shall be right things.

I wrote for him the ten thousand things of my law, but they are counted as a strange thing.

The words of LORD are pure words, as silver tried in a furnace on the earth, purified seven times.

The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and that which was written uprightly--words of truth.
