- This also cometh forth from the Lord of hosts,
which is wonderful in counsel,
and excellent in working. - Excellent speech becometh not a fool:
much less do lying lips a prince. - Sing unto the Lord; for he hath done excellent things:
this is known in all the earth. - But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.
- Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out:
he is excellent in power, and in judgment,
and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. - Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
- Who can find a virtuous woman?
for her price is far above rubies. - A merry heart doeth good like a medicine:
but a broken spirit drieth the bones.
Help us, O God of our salvation,
for the glory of thy name:
and deliver us, and purge away our sins,
for thy name's sake.
