Proverbs 22:20

English Standard Version 2016

Have I not written for you thirty sayings of counsel and knowledge,

See the chapter Copy

Hear, for I will speak noble things, and from my lips will come what is right,

Were I to write for him my laws by the ten thousands, they would be regarded as a strange thing.

The words of the Lord are pure words, like silver refined in a furnace on the ground, purified seven times.

The Preacher sought to find words of delight, and uprightly he wrote words of truth.
