²⁰ Haven't I written to you thirty excellent things Of counsel and knowledge,

⁶ Hear, for I will speak excellent things. The opening of my lips is for right things.

⁶ The words of Yahweh are flawless words, As silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.

¹² I wrote for him the many things of my law; But they were regarded as a strange thing.

¹⁵ From infancy, you have known the sacred writings which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith, which is in Christ Jesus.

¹⁶ Every writing inspired by God{literally, God-breathed} is profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for instruction which is in righteousness,

¹⁷ that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

¹⁹ We have the more sure word of prophecy; whereunto you do well that you take heed, as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns, and the day star arises 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 holy men of God spoke, being moved by the Holy Spirit.
