Proverbs 22:20

Bible in Basic English 1965

Have I not put in writing for you thirty sayings, with wise suggestions and knowledge,

See the chapter Copy

The words of the Lord are true words: like silver tested by fire and burned clean seven times.

Give ear, for my words are true, and my lips are open to give out what is upright.

The Preacher made search for words which were pleasing, but his writing was in words upright and true.

Though I put my law in writing for him in ten thousand rules, they are to him as a strange thing.
