Every word of God [is] pure
The whole word of God. "All Scripture", given by inspiration of
God, to which Agur directs, as giving the best account of God, of
his name, nature, and perfections; of his Son, person, offices,
and grace; being pure, very pure, "purified" F26 like
silver, purified in a furnace of earth. The whole of Scripture is
pure, free from all falsehood and error; coming from the God of
truth, who cannot lie, and therefore called "the Scriptures of
truth": every promise is pure as well as precious, made without
dissimulation, faithfully performed, and all yea and amen in
Christ; every doctrine is pure, free from the mixtures and
inventions of men; the sincere milk of the word; consistent and
all of a piece, not yea and nay; and tending to promote purity of
heart and life; wholesome words, and doctrines according to
godliness; see ( Psalms 12:6 ) (
18:30
) ( 119:140 ) ; he
[is] a shield unto them that put their trust in him;
not the word, but God, whose the word is; and which represents
him as a proper object of trust, both with respect to things
temporal and spiritual, at all times; and as a shield to protect
such, by his power and grace, from all their enemies, sin, Satan,
and the world, and also from all errors and false doctrines; see
( Psalms
3:3 ) ( 5:12 ) ( 18:35 ) (
Psalms 84:9
