"The words of the LORD are pure words, like silver refined in the furnace on the ground purified seven times."
The word of the Lord can be trusted. There is no imperfection, no impurity, no inconsistency. God's word has been tested as silver. The history of God's provision is evidence that his word can be trusted. It has stood the test of time. Contrast this with the words of man who "utters lies to his neighbor" and speaks "with flattering lips and a double heart" (v2). By the power of his tongue he is convinced that he will prevail for he boasts that there is no one above him who can counter his words (v4). But the LORD will "arise" and guard the righteous from the perverse speech and wicked threats of this generation (v5,7).
