Ecclesiastes 12:10

King James 2000

The preacher sought to find acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.

See the chapter Copy

The lips of the righteous know what is acceptable: but the mouth of the wicked, what is perverse.

A man has joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!

The thoughts of the wicked are an abomination to the LORD: but the words of the pure are pleasant words.

The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, We speak what we do know, and testify what we have seen; and you receive not our witness.

For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, of which you heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;

This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
