Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns.

…the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open:

…the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who has knowledge from the Most High, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open:

Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

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 has spoken to us, and it will be a witness against you if you ever deny your God.”

Her wisest ladies answer; indeed she keeps telling herself,

It still brings me comfort, and joy through unrelenting pain, that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

How painful are honest words! But what does your argument prove?

Do you intend to correct my words, and treat as wind my cry of despair?

“How long will you go on saying such things? The words of your mouth are a blustering wind.

This is the wicked man’s portion from God, the inheritance God has appointed him.”

Receive instruction from His mouth, and lay up His words in your heart.

I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my daily bread.

I paid you full attention. But no one proved Job wrong; not one of you rebutted his arguments.

But Job has not directed his words against me, and I will not answer him with your arguments.

My words are from an upright heart, and my lips speak sincerely what I know.

For he adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands among us and multiplies his words against God.”

For the choirmaster, to be accompanied by flutes. A Psalm of David. Give ear to my words, O LORD; consider my groaning.

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.

Hear my prayer, O God; listen to the words of my mouth.

A Maskil of Asaph. Give ear, O my people, to my instruction; listen to the words of my mouth.

…because they rebelled against the words of God and despised the counsel of the Most High.

All the kings of the earth will give You thanks, O LORD, when they hear the words of Your mouth.

When their rulers are thrown down from the cliffs, the people will listen to my words, for they are pleasant.

…for gaining wisdom and discipline, for comprehending words of insight,

…in the main concourse she cries aloud, at the city gates she makes her speech:

My son, if you accept my words and hide my commandments within you,

It will rescue you from the forbidden woman, from the stranger with seductive words

Get wisdom, get understanding; do not forget my words or turn from them.

Listen, my son, and receive my words, and the years of your life will be many.

My son, pay attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.

So now, my sons, listen to me, and do not turn aside from the words of my mouth.

…if you have been trapped by the words of your lips, ensnared by the words of your mouth,

My son, keep my words and treasure my commandments within you.

…that they may keep you from the adulteress, from the stranger with seductive words.

Now, my sons, listen to me, and attend to the words of my mouth.

All the words of my mouth are righteous; none are crooked or perverse.

The LORD detests the thoughts of the wicked, but the words of the pure are pleasant to Him.

Pleasant words are a honeycomb, sweet to the soul and healing to the bones.

A man of knowledge restrains his words, and a man of understanding maintains a calm spirit.

All the brothers of a poor man hate him—how much more do his friends avoid him! He may pursue them with pleading, but they are nowhere to be found.

If you cease to hear instruction, my son, you will stray from the words of knowledge.

…to show you true and reliable words, that you may soundly answer those who sent you?

Apply your heart to instruction and your ears to words of knowledge.

The weapons of the scoundrel are destructive; he hatches plots to destroy the poor with lies, even when the plea of the needy is just.

Who has declared this from the beginning, so that we may know, and from times past, so that we may say: ‘He was right’? No one announced it, no one foretold it, no one heard your words.

Therefore I have hewn them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth, and My judgments go forth like lightning.
