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