Matthew Henry · Verses 1–7
Job had desired a judge to decide his appeal. Elihu was one according to his wish, a man like himself. If we would rightly convince men, it must be by reason, not by terror; by fair argument, not by a heavy hand.
My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.
Private to you. Anything you write on this verse, here or while reading, shows up here and in My study.
My words will utter the uprightness of my heart. That which my lips know they will speak sincerely.
My words are from an upright heart, and my lips speak sincerely what I know.
My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
My words [shall utter] the uprightness of my heart; And that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.
My heart is overflowing with knowledge, my lips say what is true.
Tap a word to see what it means and everywhere else it's used.
