Job 11:6

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

Only be careful, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things which your eyes saw, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life; but make them known to your children and your children’s children—

Keep therefore and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples who shall hear all these statutes and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”

But he, being merciful, forgave iniquity, and didn’t destroy them. Yes, many times he turned his anger away, and didn’t stir up all his wrath.

Behold, the former things have happened and I declare new things. I tell you about them before they come up.”

Surely the Lord Yahweh will do nothing, unless he reveals his secret to his servants the prophets.

“For who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor?”

But to us, God revealed them through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.

They said to him, “We have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it.” Joseph said to them, “Don’t interpretations belong to God? Please tell it to me.”

For who has stood in the council of Yahweh, that he should perceive and hear his word? Who has listened to my word, and heard it?

I have laid a snare for you, and you are also taken, Babylon, and you weren’t aware. You are found, and also caught, because you have fought against Yahweh.
