Proverbs 22:20

Revised Version with Apocrypha 1895

Have not I written unto thee excellent things Of counsels and knowledge;

See the chapter Copy

The words of the LORD are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, Purified seven times.

Hear, for I will speak excellent things; And the opening of my lips shall be right things.

The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and that which was written uprightly, even words of truth.

Though I write for him my law in ten thousand precepts, they are counted as a strange thing.
