I will open my mouth in a parable [to instruct using examples];
I will utter dark and puzzling sayings of old [that contain important truth]—
To understand a proverb and a figure [of speech] or an enigma with its interpretation,

“At the latter period of their reign,
When the transgressors have finished,
A [fn]king will arise
Insolent and skilled in intrigue and cunning.
