Proverbs 30:5

Every word God says has been proved true. He defends everyone who comes to him for protection.

Free Bible Version

In The King James Version

Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

In Context

4Who has gone up to heaven, and come down? Who holds the winds in the palm of his hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak? Who has set the earth's boundaries? What is his name, and what is his son's name? Are you sure you don't know?

6Don't add anything to his words, or he will criticize you and you'll be shown to be a liar.
