Proverbs 22:20

New King James Version

Have I not written to you excellent things Of counsels and knowledge,

See the chapter Copy

Listen, for I will speak of excellent things, And from the opening of my lips will come right things;

I have written for him the great things of My law, But they were considered a strange thing.

The words of the Lord are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times.

The Preacher sought to find acceptable words; and what was written was upright—words of truth.
