¹ Who `is' as the wise? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? The wisdom of man causeth his face to shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

¹⁵ and gazing at him, all those sitting in the sanhedrim saw his face as it were the face of a messenger.

⁵⁰ a nation -- fierce of countenance -- which accepteth not the face of the aged, and the young doth not favour;

¹³ And I saw that there is an advantage to wisdom above folly, like the advantage of the light above the darkness.

¹⁴ The wise! -- his eyes `are' in his head, and the fool in darkness is walking, and I also knew that one event happeneth with them all;

⁸ Exalt her, and she doth lift thee up, She honoureth thee, when thou dost embrace her.

⁹ She giveth to thy head a wreath of grace, A crown of beauty she doth give thee freely.

²⁹ And it cometh to pass, when Moses is coming down from mount Sinai (and the two tables of the testimony `are' in the hand of Moses in his coming down from the mount), that Moses hath not known that the skin of his face hath shone in His speaking with him,

³⁰ and Aaron seeth -- all the sons of Israel also -- Moses, and lo, the skin of his face hath shone, and they are afraid of coming nigh unto him.

²⁹ `And now, Lord, look upon their threatenings, and grant to Thy servants with all freedom to speak Thy word,

¹³ which things also we speak, not in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Holy Spirit, with spiritual things spiritual things comparing,

¹⁴ and the natural man doth not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for to him they are foolishness, and he is not able to know `them', because spiritually they are discerned;

¹⁵ and he who is spiritual, doth discern indeed all things, and he himself is by no one discerned;

¹⁶ for who did know the mind of the Lord that he shall instruct Him? and we -- we have the mind of Christ.

¹⁹ and in behalf of me, that to me may be given a word in the opening of my mouth, in freedom, to make known the secret of the good news,

¹⁷ and the Lord stood by me, and did strengthen me, that through me the preaching might be fully assured, and all the nations might hear, and I was freed out of the mouth of a lion,

²⁰ this first knowing, that no prophecy of the Writing doth come of private exposition,

¹³ And beholding the openness of Peter and John, and having perceived that they are men unlettered and plebeian, they were wondering -- they were taking knowledge also of them that with Jesus they had been --

² and he was transfigured before them, and his face shone as the sun, and his garments did become white as the light,

¹⁵ And Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `A dream I have dreamed, and there is no interpreter of it, and I -- I have heard concerning thee, saying, Thou understandest a dream to interpret it,'

¹⁶ and Joseph answereth Pharaoh, saying, `Without me -- God doth answer Pharaoh with peace.'

³⁸ and Pharaoh saith unto his servants, `Do we find like this, a man in whom the spirit of God `is'?'

³⁹ and Pharaoh saith unto Joseph, `After God's causing thee to know all this, there is none intelligent and wise as thou;

²³ If there is by him a messenger, An interpreter -- one of a thousand, To declare for man his uprightness:

⁶ For understanding a proverb and its sweetness, Words of the wise and their acute sayings.

²⁴ The face of the intelligent `is' to wisdom, And the eyes of a fool -- at the end of the earth.

⁵ Mighty `is' the wise in strength, And a man of knowledge is strengthening power,

²⁸ but there is a God in the heavens, a revealer of secrets, and He hath made known to king Nebuchadnezzar that which `is' to be in the latter end of the days. `Thy dream and the visions of thy head on thy bed are these:

²⁹ Thou, O king, thy thoughts on thy bed have come up `concerning' that which `is' to be after this, and the Revealer of secrets hath caused thee to know that which `is' to be.

³⁰ As to me -- not for `any' wisdom that is in me above any living hath this secret been revealed to me; but for the intent that the interpretation to the king they make known, and the thoughts of thy heart thou dost know.

⁴⁷ The king hath answered Daniel and said, `Of a truth `it is' that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, since thou hast been able to reveal this secret.'

¹⁸ `This dream I have seen, I king Nebuchadnezzar; and thou, O Belteshazzar, the interpretation tell, because that all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to cause me to know the interpretation, and thou `art' able, for the spirit of the holy gods `is' in thee.

¹⁹ `Then Daniel, whose name `is' Belteshazzar, hath been astonished about one hour, and his thoughts do trouble him; the king hath answered and said, O Belteshazzar, let not the dream and its interpretation trouble thee. Belteshazzar hath answered and said, My lord, the dream -- to those hating thee, and its interpretation -- to thine enemies!

⁸ And they say unto him, `A dream we have dreamed, and there is no interpreter of it;' and Joseph saith unto them, `Are not interpretations with God? recount, I pray you, to me.'
