PROVERBS 22:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?”
Teaching you true and reliable words, so that you can give sound answers to him who sent you?—a statement of the purpose of wisdom training: to equip the student to respond wisely to those in authority or to those who question him. The phrase 'true and reliable words' (emet divre emet) emphasizes accuracy and reliability. The theological significance involves the principle that wisdom training prepares one to represent truth and sound judgment.
