² Son of humanity, propound a riddle, and proverbialize a proverb to the house of Yisra El;

⁸ In going, the trees go to anoint a sovereign over them; and they say to the olive tree, Reign over us. ⁹ And the olive tree says to them, I - forsake I my fatness wherewith by me they honor Elohim and man - to go wave over the trees? ¹⁰ And the trees say to the fig tree, Come and reign over us. ¹¹ And the fig tree says to them, I - forsake I my sweetness and my good produce - to go wave over the trees? ¹² Then the trees say to the vine, Come and reign over us. ¹³ And the vine says to them, I - forsake I my juice which cheers Elohim and man to go wave over the trees? ¹⁴ Then all the trees say to the thorn, Come and reign over us. ¹⁵ And the thorn says to the trees, If in truth you anoint me sovereign over you, then seek refuge in my shadow: and if not, fire comes from the thorn and consumes the cedars of Lebanon.

¹² And Shimshon says to them, I now propound a riddle to you: if in telling, you tell me within the seven days of the banquet and find it out, I give you thirty wraps and thirty changes of clothes:

¹² And they say to him, We descend to bind you, to give you into the hand of the Peleshethiy. And Shimshon says to them, Oath to me, that you yourselves not encounter me. ¹³ and if you cannot tell me, you give me thirty wraps and thirty change of clothes. And they say to him, Propound your riddle, so that we hear it.

¹³ And they say to him, saying, No; but in binding, we bind you and give you into their hand: but in killing, we kill you not. - and they bind him with two new ropes and ascend him from the rock. ¹⁴ And he says to them, From the eater goes food and from the strong goes sweetness. - and they cannot in three days tell the riddle. ¹⁵ And so be it, on the seventh day, they say to the woman of Shimshon, Entice your man to tell to us the riddle; lest we burn you and the house of your father with fire. Have you called for us to dispossess us? Is it not so? ¹⁶ And the woman of Shimshon weeps in front of him and says, You hate me and love me not: you propound a riddle to the sons of my people and tell me not. And he says to her, Behold, I tell neither my father nor my mother - and tell I you? ¹⁷ And she weeps in front of him the seven days, while their banquet becomes: and so be it, on the seventh day, because she oppresses him, he tells her; and she tells the riddle to the sons of her people. ¹⁸ And the men of the city say to him on the seventh day ere the sun goes, What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion? And he says to them, Unless you had plowed with my heifer, you had not found out my riddle. ¹⁹ And the Spirit of Yah Veh prospers over him; and he descends to Ashqelon and smites thirty of their men; and takes their clothes and gives the changes to them who tell the riddle. And he kindles his wrath and he ascends to the house of his father.

NATHAN REBUKES DAVID
And Yah Veh sends Nathan to David: and he comes to him and says to him, Two men are in one city - the one rich and the one impoverished: ² the rich has mighty abundant flocks and oxen; ³ but the impoverished has naught - except one little ewe lamb which he chatteled and livened: and it grows together with him and with his sons: it eats of his own morsel and drinks of his own cup and lies down in his bosom as his daughter. ⁴ And a wayfarer comes to the rich man; and he spares to take of his own flock and of his own oxen, to work for the caravan that comes to him: but takes the ewe lamb of the impoverished man and works it for the man who comes to him.

⁴⁹ Then I say, Aha, Adonay Yah Veh! they say of me, Proverbializes he not proverbs?

³ and proverbialize a proverb to the rebellious house: and say to them, Thus says Adonay Yah Veh: Set a caldron; set, and also pour water into it:

¹⁰ And I word by the prophets, and I abound visions, and by the hand of the prophets use comparisons.

¹³ So I speak to them in parables: because in observing, they observe not; and hearing, they hear not; and they comprehend not. ¹⁴ And in them is fulfilled/shalamed the prophecy of Yesha Yah - which words, By hearing you hear, and no way comprehend; - and by observing you observe, and no way perceive:

³⁵ to fulfill/shalam that rhetorized through the prophet, wording, I open my mouth in parables: I utter those which have been secreted from the foundation of the cosmos. ^{Psalm 78:2}

³³
YAH SHUA EXPLAINS THE PARABLES
And with many such parables he speaks the word to them exactly as they are able to hear: ³⁴ but he speaks not to them apart from a parable: and when they are alone he explains all to his disciples.

¹² For now we see obscurely as through a mirror; but then, face to face: now I know by part; but then I know exactly as also I am known.
