⁶ Hear, for I will speak excellent things; And the opening of my lips shall be right things.

⁶ The words of Jehovah are pure words; As silver tried in a furnace on the earth, Purified seven times.

¹² I wrote for him the ten thousand things of my law; but they are counted as a strange thing.

¹⁵ And that from a babe thou hast known the sacred writings which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁷ That the man of God may be complete, furnished completely unto every good work.

¹⁹ And we have the word of prophecy `made' more sure; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day-star arise in your hearts:

²⁰ knowing this first, that no prophecy of scripture is of private interpretation.

²¹ For no prophecy ever came by the will of man: but men spake from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
