⁴ The Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are experienced, so that I may be able to give the word a special sense for the feeble: every morning my ear is open to his teaching, like those who are experienced:

¹⁵ For I will give you words and wisdom, so that not one of those who are against you will be able to get the better of you, or to put you in the wrong.

⁹ Then the Lord put out his hand, touching my mouth; and the Lord said to me, See, I have put my words in your mouth:

²⁸ Come to me, all you who are troubled and weighted down with care, and I will give you rest.

¹⁵ Then the Jews were surprised and said, How has this man got knowledge of books? He has never been to school.

¹⁶ Jesus gave them this answer: It is not my teaching, but his who sent me.

¹⁷ If any man is ready to do God's pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from--from God or from myself.

²² And they were all giving witness, with wonder, to the words of grace which came from his mouth: and they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

⁴⁶ And no one was able to give him an answer, and so great was their fear of him, that from that day no one put any more questions to him.

⁵⁴ And coming into his country, he gave them teaching in their Synagogue, so that they were greatly surprised and said, Where did this man get this wisdom and these works of power?

¹¹ A word at the right time is like apples of gold in a network of silver.

²³ A man has joy in the answer of his mouth: and a word at the right time, how good it is!

¹⁴⁷ Before the sun is up, my cry for help comes to your ear; my hope is in your words.

⁸ Let the story of your mercy come to me in the morning, for my hope is in you: give me knowledge of the way in which I am to go; for my soul is lifted up to you.

³ My voice will come to you in the morning, O Lord; in the morning will I send my prayer to you, and keep watch.

¹¹ And the Lord said to him, Who has made man's mouth? who takes away a man's voice or hearing, or makes him seeing or blind? Is it not I, the Lord?

¹² So go now, and I will be with your mouth, teaching you what to say.

⁴⁶ The servants made answer, No man ever said things like this man.

¹⁵ For this is the word of him who is high and lifted up, whose resting-place is eternal, whose name is Holy: my resting-place is in the high and holy place, and with him who is crushed and poor in spirit, to give life to the spirit of the poor, and to make strong the heart of the crushed.

¹⁶ For I will not give punishment for ever, or be angry without end: for from me breath goes out; and I it was who made the souls.

¹⁷ I was quickly angry with his evil ways, and sent punishment on him, veiling my face in wrath: and he went on, turning his heart from me.

¹⁸ I have seen his ways, and I will make him well: I will give him rest, comforting him and his people who are sad.

¹⁹ I will give the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is near and to him who is far off, says the Lord; and I will make him well.

² You are fairer than the children of men; grace is flowing through your lips; for this cause the blessing of God is with you for ever.
