¹⁸ For who hath stood in the counsel of Jehovah, And seeth and heareth His word? Who hath regarded My word, and hearkeneth?

²² But -- if they stood in My counsel, Then they cause My people to hear My words, And they turn them back from their evil way, And from the evil of their doings.

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

²⁴ And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah draweth nigh, and smiteth Micaiah on the cheek, and saith, `Where `is' this -- he hath passed over -- the Spirit of Jehovah -- from me to speak with thee?'

²³ And Zedekiah son of Chenaanah cometh nigh, and smiteth Micaiah on the cheek, and saith, `Where `is' this -- the way the Spirit of Jehovah passed over from me to speak with thee?'

⁸ Of the secret counsel of God dost thou hear? And withdrawest thou unto thee wisdom?

⁹ What hast thou known, and we know not? Understandest thou -- and it is not with us?

¹⁰ Both the gray-headed And the very aged `are' among us -- Greater than thy father `in' days.

¹⁴ The secret of Jehovah `is' for those fearing Him, And His covenant -- to cause them to know.

¹³ Who hath meted out the Spirit of Jehovah, And, `being' His counsellor, doth teach Him!

¹⁴ With whom consulted He, That he causeth Him to understand? And teacheth Him in the path of judgment, And teacheth Him knowledge? And the way of understanding causeth Him to know?

⁷ For the Lord Jehovah doth nothing, Except He hath revealed His counsel unto His servants the prophets.

¹⁵ no more do I call you servants, because the servant hath not known what his lord doth, and you I have called friends, because all things that I heard from my Father, I did make known to you.
