Psalm 12:6 (KJV)

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

Topic: psa 12:6,

The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.

The accurate translation of Psalm 12:6: is as follows, because they missed an ellipsis in here, an omission. Ellipsis is a figure of speech, meaning there was a deliberate omission. And they missed that in translation, that omission. They missed it in here in the King James Version, the Authorized Version missed it, and six or seven of the other versions that I've checked all missed it. But I'll show it to you, and it'll be real simple to you.

It should be translated as follows:
“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace, words pertaining to the earth, purified seven times.”
That's the literal accuracy of Psalms 12, verse 6.
“The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace, words pertaining to the earth,…
Words pertaining to the earth. The ellipsis is ‘words’. Words pertaining to the earth that are purified how many times? {Seven.}
