Ellen White & Bible Cross-Reference
Proverbs 30:5
"Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him."
"“Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him. Add thou not unto His words, Lest He reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” MH 429.1"
EGW directly quotes Proverbs 30:5.
"We should reverence God's word. For the printed volume we should show respect, never putting it to common uses, or handling it carelessly. And never should Scripture be quoted in a jest, or paraphrased to point a witty saying. “Every word of God is pure;” “as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.” Proverbs 30:5 ; Psalm 12:6 . Ed 244.1"
Ellen White directly references Proverbs 30:5 in this passage.
Proverbs 30:11
"There is a generation that curseth their father, and doth not bless their mother."
"The youth acknowledges no obligation to his father, and expresses no gratitude; yet he claims the privilege of a child in sharing his father's goods. The inheritance that would fall to him at his father's death he desires to receive now. He is bent on present enjoyment, and cares not for the future. COL 199.1"
Both passages address the theme of children being ungrateful and disrespectful towards their parents. While not a direct quote, the EGW passage echoes the sentiment expressed in Proverbs 30:11.
