Commentary on Proverbs 30:5
Every word of God is 'pure' (Hebrew 'tsaraph'—refined, tested); He is a shield to those who trust Him. This verse transitions from questions (verse 4) to affirmation of Scripture's perfection and God's protection. The word 'tsaraph' refers to refined metal—God's Word has been tested and proven completely pure. Reformed theology's doctrine of Scripture's inerrancy and sufficiency flows from this. God's Word is flawless and fully trustworthy. Those who trust ('chasah'—take refuge) find Him a shield (Psalm 18:30).
