I turn my ear to a proverb; I explain my riddle with a lyre.

I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

I will learn a song that imparts wisdom; I will then sing my insightful song to the accompaniment of a harp.

I will open my mouth in a parable. I will utter dark sayings of old,

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through the prophet, saying,“ I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the foundation of the world.”

to understand a proverb, and parables, the words and riddles of the wise.

He took up his parable, and said,“ From Aram has Balak brought me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East. Come, curse Jacob for me. Come, defy Israel.

With him, I will speak mouth to mouth, even plainly, and not in riddles; and he shall see Yahweh’s form. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant, against Moses?”

“ In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding dark sentences, will stand up.

Then I said,“ Ah Lord Yahweh! They say of me,‘ Isn’t he a speaker of parables?’”

Therefore whatever you have said in the darkness will be heard in the light. What you have spoken in the ear in the inner rooms will be proclaimed on the housetops.

Having therefore such a hope, we use great boldness of speech,

He answered them,“ To you it is given to know the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven, but it is not given to them.For whoever has, to him will be given, and he will have abundance, but whoever doesn’t have, from him will be taken away even that which he has.Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they don’t see, and hearing, they don’t hear, neither do they understand.In them the prophecy of Isaiah is fulfilled, which says,‘ By hearing you will hear, and will in no way understand; Seeing you will see, and will in no way perceive:for this people’s heart has grown callous, their ears are dull of hearing, they have closed their eyes; or else perhaps they might perceive with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and would turn again; and I would heal them.’
