the oracle of one who hears the sayings of God,

who sees a vision from the Almighty,

who falls into a trance with his eyes uncovered:

the oracle of one who hears the sayings of God

and has knowledge from the Most High,

who sees a vision from the Almighty,

And Joshua said to all the people, “You see this stone ​— ​it will be a witness against us, for it has heard all the words the LORD said to us, and it will be a witness against you, so that you will not deny your God.”

Her wisest princesses answer her;

she even answers herself:

It would still bring me comfort,

and I would leap for joy in unrelenting pain

that I have not denied[fn] the words of the Holy One.

How painful honest words can be!

But what does your rebuke prove?

How long will you go on saying these things?

Your words are a blast of wind.

This is the wicked person’s lot from God,

more than my daily food.

I paid close attention to you.

Yet no one proved Job wrong;

not one of you refuted his arguments.

But Job has not directed his argument to me,

My words come from my upright heart,

and my lips speak with sincerity what they know.

For he adds rebellion to his sin;

he scornfully claps in our presence,

while multiplying his words against God.

Listen to my words, LORD;

consider my sighing.

May the words of my mouth

and the meditation of my heart

be acceptable to you,

LORD, my rock and my Redeemer.

God, hear my prayer;

listen to the words from my mouth.

My people, hear my instruction;

listen to the words from my mouth.

because they rebelled against God’s commands

and despised the counsel of the Most High.

All the kings on earth will give you thanks, LORD,

when they hear what you have promised.[fn]

When their rulers[fn] will be thrown off

the sides of a cliff,

the people[fn] will listen to my words,

for they are pleasing.

For learning wisdom and discipline;

for understanding insightful sayings;

She cries out above[fn] the commotion;

she speaks at the entrance of the city gates:

My son, if you accept my words

and store up my commands within you,

It will rescue you from a forbidden woman,

from a wayward woman with her flattering talk,

“Get wisdom, get understanding;

don’t forget or turn away from the words from my mouth.

Listen, my son. Accept my words,

and you will live many years.

My son, pay attention to my words;

listen closely to my sayings.

So now, sons, listen to me,

and don’t turn away from the words from my mouth.

trapped by the words from your mouth.

My son, obey my words,

and treasure my commands.

a wayward woman with her flattering talk.

Now, sons, listen to me,

and pay attention to the words from my mouth.

and one who keeps a cool head[fn]

is a person of understanding.

All the brothers of a poor person hate him;

how much more do his friends

keep their distance from him!

He may pursue them with words,

but they are not there.[fn]

If you stop listening to correction, my son,

you will stray from the words of knowledge.

in order to teach you true and reliable words,

so that you may give a dependable report[fn]

to those who sent you?

Apply yourself to discipline

and listen to words of knowledge.

The scoundrel’s weapons are destructive;

he hatches plots to destroy the needy with lies,

even when the poor person says what is right.

“Who told about this from the beginning,

so that we might know,

and from times past,

so that we might say, ‘He is right’?

No one announced it,

no one told it,

no one heard your words.

This is why I have used the prophets

to cut them down;[fn]

I have killed them with the words from my mouth.
