TSK · Proverbs 1:6

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

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

All these things spake Jesus in parables unto the multitudes; and without a parable spake he nothing unto them:

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

And Philip ran to him, and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest?

as also in all [his] epistles, speaking in them of these things; wherein are some things hard to be understood, which the ignorant and unstedfast wrest, as [they do] also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
