Proverbs 30:5

Every saying of God is refined, A shield, is, he, to them who seek refuge in him.

The Emphasised Bible by J. B. Rotherham

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 hath ascended the heavens and then descended? Who hath gathered the wind into his two hands? Who hath wrapped up the waters in a mantle? Who hath set up all the ends of the earth? What is his name and what the name of his son, when thou knowest?

6Do not add unto his words, lest he convict thee, and thou be found false.
