The Preacher sought to find out pleasing words, and words of truth written on uprightness.
The lips of the righteous one know what is pleasing, but the mouth of the wicked ones knows only perversity.
Joy is to a man by the answer of his mouth, and how good is a word in its time.
The thoughts of the evil one are disgusting things to Jehovah, but the sayings of pleasantness are pure.
The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem:
I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
Truly, truly, I say to you, That what we know, we speak; and that which we have seen, we testify. And you do not receive our witness.
because of the hope being laid up for you in Heaven, the one which you heard before in the Word of the truth of the gospel,
Faithful is the Word and worthy of all acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief.
