Strong's Number H4911 matches the Hebrew מָשַׁל (māšal),
which occurs 16 times in 15 verses
in the WLC Hebrew.
LORD, I call to you;
my rock, do not be deaf to me.
If you remain silent to me,
I will be like those going down to the Pit.
But despite his assets,[fn] mankind will not last;
he is like the animals that perish.
Answer me quickly, LORD;
my spirit fails.
Don’t hide your face from me,
or I will be like those
going down to the Pit.
They all respond to you, saying,
“You too have become as weak as we are;
you have become like us!
“To whom will you compare me or make me equal?
Who will you measure me with,
so that we should be like each other?
“Therefore say to them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says: I will put a stop to this proverb, and they will not use it again in Israel.’ But say to them, ‘The days have arrived, as well as the fulfillment of every vision.
“ ‘Look, everyone who uses proverbs will quote this proverb about you: “Like mother, like daughter.”
“What do you mean by using this proverb concerning the land of Israel:
‘The fathers eat sour grapes,
and the children’s teeth are set on edge’?
“As I live” — this is the declaration of the Lord GOD — “you will no longer use this proverb in Israel.
Then I said, “Oh, Lord GOD, they are saying of me, ‘Isn’t he just composing parables? ’ ”
