Your servant Joab did this to change the present situation. My lord has wisdom like that of an angel of God— he knows everything that happens in the land.”

He did it to change the way things now are. You are as wise as an angel of God. You know everything that happens in the land.”

In order to change the course of things your servant Joab did this. But my lord has wisdom like the wisdom of the angel of God to know all things that are on the earth.”

He did it to place the matter before you in a different light. But you are as wise as an angel of God, and you understand everything that happens among us!”

Joab your servant has done this to address the issue indirectly, but my lord has wisdom like the wisdom of the angel of God, knowing everything on earth.”

To bring about this change of affairs your servant Joab has done this thing; but my Lord is wise, according to the wisdom of the angel of God, to know everything that is in the earth.”

to change the face of the matter hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.

Joab your servant has done this to address the issue indirectly, but my lord has wisdom like the wisdom of the Angel of God, knowing everything on earth.”

Your servant Joab has done this thing to change the face of the matter. My lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.”

Then your servant said,‘ Please let the word of my lord the king be comforting, for as the angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and evil. And may the Lord your God be with you.’ ”

Furthermore, he has slandered your servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is like the angel of God, therefore do what is good in your sight.

A lying tongue hates those it crushes, And a flattering mouth works ruin.

“ Have you entered the springs of the sea, And walked in the depth of the ocean?Have the gates of death been revealed to you, And have you seen the gates of deep darkness?Have you understood the expanse of the earth? Tell Me, if you know all this.“ Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And darkness, where is its place,That you would take it to its territory, And discern the paths to its home?You know, for you were born then, And the number of your days is great!Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, And have you seen the storehouses of the hail,Which I have reserved for a time of distress, For a day of war and battle?Where is the way that the light is divided, And the east wind scattered on the earth?“ Who has split open a channel for the flood, And a way for the thunderbolt,To bring rain on a land without people, On a desert without a person in it,To satisfy the waste and desolate land, And to make the seeds of grass to sprout?Does the rain have a father? Or who has fathered the drops of dew?From whose womb has come the ice? And the frost of heaven, who has given it birth?Water becomes hard like stone, And the surface of the deep is imprisoned.“ Can you tie up the chains of the Pleiades, Or untie the cords of Orion?Can you bring out a constellation in its season, And guide the Bear with her satellites?Do you know the ordinances of the heavens, Or do you establish their rule over the earth?“ Can you raise your voice to the clouds, So that an abundance of water will cover you?Can you send flashes of lightning, so that they may go And say to you,‘ Here we are’?Who has put wisdom in the innermost being, Or given understanding to the mind?Who can count the clouds by wisdom, And pour out the water jars of the heavens,When the dust hardens into a mass And the clods stick together?“ Can you hunt the prey for the lioness, Or satisfy the appetite of young lions,When they crouch in their hiding places, And lie in wait in their lair?Who prepares feed for the raven When its young cry to God, And wander about without food?

So David inquired of the Lord, but He said,“ You shall not go directly up; circle around behind them and come at them in front of the baka shrubs.

A man who flatters his neighbor Is spreading a net for his steps.

For God knows that on the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will become like God, knowing good and evil.”

Let me be partial to no one, Nor flatter any man.For I do not know how to flatter, Otherwise my Maker would quickly take me away.

Now concerning food sacrificed to idols, we know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge makes one conceited, but love edifies people.If anyone thinks that he knows anything, he has not yet known as he ought to know;
