Proverbs 1:6

I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

And he said unto them, Unto you it is given to know the mystery of the kingdom of God: but unto them that are without, all these things are done in parables:

I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

But without a parable spake he not unto them: and when they were alone, he expounded all things to his disciples.

But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?
