Psalms
Psalm 12 says, “The words of the LORD are pure words,” compared to silver refined and purified seven times Psalm 12:6. This claim is set against the psalm’s description of widespread lying and flattering speech Psalm 12:2.
2Everyone lies to his neighbor. With flattering lips, and with a double heart, do they speak.
3May Yahweh cut off all flattering lips, And the tongue that boasts,
4Who have said, "With our tongue will we prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?"
5"Because of the oppression of the weak and because of the groaning of the needy, I will now arise," says Yahweh; "I will set him in safety from those who malign him."
6The words of Yahweh are flawless words, As silver refined in a clay furnace, purified seven times.
