Matthew 22:46

for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to withstand or to contradict.

My doctrine will drop as the rain. My speech will condense as the dew, as the misty rain on the tender grass, as the showers on the herb.

Then Yahweh stretched out his hand, and touched my mouth. Then Yahweh said to me, “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.

Anxiety in a man’s heart weighs it down, but a kind word makes it glad.

“Come to me, all you who labor and are heavily burdened, and I will give you rest.

Now therefore go, and I will be with your mouth, and teach you what you shall speak.”

I rise before dawn and cry for help. I put my hope in your words.

Joy comes to a man with the reply of his mouth. How good is a word at the right time!

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

The Lord Yahweh has given me the tongue of those who are taught, that I may know how to sustain with words him who is weary. He awakens morning by morning, he awakens my ear to hear as those who are taught.

Coming into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, so that they were astonished, and said, “Where did this man get this wisdom, and these mighty works?

When Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from God’s Kingdom.” No one dared ask him any question after that.

All testified about him, and wondered at the gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth, and they said, “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”

They didn’t dare to ask him any more questions.

Do you intend to reprove words, since the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind?

Yahweh, in the morning you will hear my voice. In the morning I will lay my requests before you, and will watch expectantly.

I will bless Yahweh, who has given me counsel. Yes, my heart instructs me in the night seasons.

Cause me to hear your loving kindness in the morning, for I trust in you. Cause me to know the way in which I should walk, for I lift up my soul to you.

The tongue of the wise commends knowledge, but the mouth of fools gush out folly.

The wise in heart shall be called prudent. Pleasantness of the lips promotes instruction.

Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped.

Who among you fears Yahweh and obeys the voice of his servant? He who walks in darkness and has no light, let him trust in Yahweh’s name, and rely on his God.

But the Pharisees went out, and conspired against him, how they might destroy him.

They couldn’t answer him regarding these things.

They began to accuse him, saying, “We found this man perverting the nation, forbidding paying taxes to Caesar, and saying that he himself is Christ, a king.”

Therefore give everyone what you owe: if you owe taxes, pay taxes; if customs, then customs; if respect, then respect; if honor, then honor.

They saw him afar off, and before he came near to them, they conspired against him to kill him.

I will raise them up a prophet from among their brothers, like you. I will put my words in his mouth, and he shall speak to them all that I shall command him.

“Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?

After my words they didn’t speak again. My speech fell on them.

You are the most excellent of the sons of men. Grace has anointed your lips, therefore God has blessed you forever.

I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will shine.”

Your lips, my bride, drip like the honeycomb. Honey and milk are under your tongue. The smell of your garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

He won’t break a bruised reed. He won’t quench a dimly burning wick. He will faithfully bring justice.

I have put my words in your mouth and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell Zion, ‘You are my people.’ ”

so he will cleanse many nations. Kings will shut their mouths at him; for they will see that which had not been told them, and they will understand that which they had not heard.

For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.”

“Son of man, set your face toward the south, and preach toward the south, and prophesy against the forest of the field in the South.

“ ‘ “You shall prepare a lamb a year old without defect for a burnt offering to Yahweh daily. Morning by morning you shall prepare it.

Will a man rob God? Yet you rob me! But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In tithes and offerings.

They tried to seize him, but they feared the multitude; for they perceived that he spoke the parable against them. They left him, and went away.

After three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the middle of the teachers, both listening to them, and asking them questions.

The officers answered, “No man ever spoke like this man!”

But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed ask him who formed it, “Why did you make me like this?”

Let no corrupt speech proceed out of your mouth, but only what is good for building others up as the need may be, that it may give grace to those who hear.

Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one.

For consider him who has endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, that you don’t grow weary, fainting in your souls.

Therefore subject yourselves to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme;

having a good conscience. Thus, while you are spoken against as evildoers, they may be disappointed who curse your good way of life in Christ.

Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?

I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame. The spirit of my understanding answers me.

“They are amazed. They answer no more. They don’t have a word to say.

My son, give me your heart; and let your eyes keep in my ways.

My son, fear Yahweh and the king. Don’t join those who are rebellious;

Make the heart of this people fat. Make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their heart, and turn again, and be healed.”

They will say of me, ‘There is righteousness and strength only in Yahweh.’ ” Even to him will men come. All those who raged against him will be disappointed.

Hear Yahweh’s word, you who tremble at his word: “Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name’s sake, have said, ‘Let Yahweh be glorified, that we may see your joy;’ but it is those who shall be disappointed.

Now therefore listen to Yahweh’s word: ‘You say, Don’t prophesy against Israel, and don’t preach against the house of Isaac.’

“Don’t prophesy!” They prophesy. “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake us.”

“Behold, I send you out as sheep among wolves. Therefore be wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.

Leave them alone. They are blind guides of the blind. If the blind guide the blind, both will fall into a pit.”

They answered Jesus, and said, “We don’t know.” He also said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.

When they heard it, they marveled, and left him, and went away.

In the same way, the second also, and the third, to the seventh.

When the multitudes heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.

But the Pharisees, when they heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together.

Jesus answered them, “Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” They marveled greatly at him.

Simon answered, “He, I suppose, to whom he forgave the most.” He said to him, “You have judged correctly.”

He said to him, “You have answered correctly. Do this, and you will live.”

As he said these things, all his adversaries were disappointed and all the multitude rejoiced for all the glorious things that were done by him.

But they were silent. He took him, and healed him, and let him go.

Immediately he received his sight and followed him, glorifying God. All the people, when they saw it, praised God.

He said to them, “Then give to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.”

They weren’t able to trap him in his words before the people. They marveled at his answer and were silent.

They, when they heard it, being convicted by their conscience, went out one by one, beginning from the oldest, even to the last. Jesus was left alone with the woman where she was, in the middle.

The man answered them, “How amazing! You don’t know where he comes from, yet he opened my eyes.

So from that day forward they took counsel that they might put him to death.

All the people saw him walking and praising God.

Seeing the man who was healed standing with them, they could say nothing against it.

When they had further threatened them, they let them go, finding no way to punish them, because of the people; for everyone glorified God for that which was done.

They weren’t able to withstand the wisdom and the Spirit by which he spoke.

whose mouths must be stopped: men who overthrow whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for dishonest gain’s sake.

and soundness of speech that can’t be condemned, that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.
