I will open H6605 my mouth H6310 in a parable: H4912 I will utter H5042 dark H2420 sayings H2420 of old: H6924

That it might be fulfilled G4137 which G3588 was spoken G4483 by the prophet, G4396 saying, G3004 I will open G455 my mouth G4750 in parables; G3850 I will utter G2044 things which have been kept secret G2928 from the foundation G2602 of the world. G2889

And he took H5375 up his parable, H4912 and said, H559 Balak H1111 the king H4428 of Moab H4124 has brought H5148 me from Aram, H758 out of the mountains H2042 of the east, H6924 saying, Come, H3212 curse H779 me Jacob, H3290 and come, H3212 defy H2194 Israel. H3478

Then said H559 I, Ah H162 Lord H136 GOD! H3069 they say H559 of me, Does he not speak H4911 parables? H4912

He answered G611 and said G3004 to them, Because G3754 it is given G1325 to you to know G1097 the mysteries G3466 of the kingdom G932 of heaven, G3772 but to them it is not given. G1325

Therefore G1223 G5124 speak G2980 I to them in parables: G3850 because G3754 they seeing G991 see G991 not; and hearing G191 they hear G191 not, neither G3761 do they understand. G4920

For this G5127 people's G2992 heart G2588 is waxed G3975 gross, G3975 and their ears G3775 are dull G917 of hearing, G191 and their eyes G3788 they have closed; G2576 lest G3379 at G3379 any G3379 time G3379 they should see G1492 with their eyes G3788 and hear G191 with their ears, G3775 and should understand G4920 with their heart, G2588 and should be converted, G1994 and I should heal G2390 them.

To understand H995 a proverb, H4912 and the interpretation; H4426 the words H1697 of the wise, H2450 and their dark H2420 sayings. H2420

And in the latter H319 time of their kingdom, H4438 when the transgressors H6586 are come to the full, H8552 a king H4428 of fierce H5794 countenance, H6440 and understanding H995 dark H2420 sentences, H2420 shall stand H5975 up.

Therefore G473 G5607 whatever G3745 you have spoken G2036 in darkness G4655 shall be heard G191 in the light; G5457 and that which G3739 you have spoken G2980 in the ear G3775 in closets G5009 shall be proclaimed G2784 on the housetops. G1430

Seeing then G3767 that we have G2192 such G5108 hope, G1680 we use G5530 great G4183 plainness G3954 of speech:
