He inquired of the Lord, but the Lord did not answer him in dreams or by the Urim or by the prophets.

扫罗求问耶和华，耶和华却不藉梦，或乌陵，或先知回答他。

扫罗求问耶和华，耶和华却不藉梦，或乌陵，或先知回答他。

扫罗求问耶和华，耶和华却不藉梦，或乌陵，或先知回答他。

就求问耶和华，但耶和华没有借着梦、乌陵或先知回答他。

扫罗求问耶和华，耶和华却没有藉着梦，或乌陵，或先知回答他。

扫罗求问耶和华，耶和华却没有藉着梦，或乌陵，或先知回应他。

掃羅求問耶和華，耶和華卻沒有藉著夢，或烏陵，或先知回答他。

掃羅求問永恆主，永恆主卻沒有藉着夢，沒有藉着烏陵，也沒有藉着神言人而回答他。

掃羅求問耶和華，耶和華卻沒有藉著夢，或烏陵，或先知回應他。

詢於耶和華、耶和華不以夢與烏陵先知答之、

問於耶和華、耶和華不答、亦不以夢寐、烏陵、先知而示。

掃羅問於主、主不之應、又祈夢、問烏陵、問先知、俱不得指示、

He inquired of the Lord, but the Lord did not answer him by dreams or Urim or prophets.

He asked the Lord for advice. But the Lord didn’t answer him through dreams or prophets. He didn’t answer him when Saul had the priest cast lots by using the Urim.

And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord did not answer him, either by dreams, or by Urim, or by prophets.

He asked the Lord what he should do, but the Lord refused to answer him, either by dreams or by sacred lots or by the prophets.

He inquired of the LORD, but the LORD did not answer him in dreams or by the Urim or by the prophets.

So Saul inquired of the Lord, but the Lord did not answer him, either in dreams, or by the Urim, or by the prophets.

And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord did not answer him, either by dreams or by Urim or by the prophets.

And when Saul inquired of Jehovah, Jehovah answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.

And when Saul enquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets.

So Saul inquired of the LORD, but the LORD did not answer him– not by dreams nor by Urim nor by the prophets.

When Saul inquired of Yahweh, Yahweh didn’t answer him by dreams, by Urim, or by prophets.

He said:“ Listen to what I say: If there is a prophet among you from the Lord, I make Myself known to him in a vision; I speak with him in a dream.

So Saul inquired of God,“ Should I go after the Philistines? Will You hand them over to Israel?” But God did not answer him that day.

He will stand before Eleazar who will consult the Lord for him with the decision of the Urim. He and all the Israelites with him, even the entire community, will go out and come back in at his command.”

Zion’s gates have fallen to the ground; He has destroyed and shattered the bars on her gates. Her king and her leaders live among the nations, instruction is no more, and even her prophets receive no vision from the Lord.

He said about Levi: Your Thummim and Urim belong to Your faithful one; You tested him at Massah and contended with him at the waters of Meribah.

Place the Urim and Thummim in the breastpiece for decisions, so that they will also be over Aaron’s heart whenever he comes before the Lord. Aaron will continually carry the means of decisions for the Israelites over his heart before the Lord.

That night God spoke to Israel in a vision:“ Jacob, Jacob!” He said. And Jacob replied,“ Here I am.”God said,“ I am God, the God of your father. Do not be afraid to go down to Egypt, for I will make you into a great nation there.I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will also bring you back. Joseph will put his hands on your eyes.”

But after he had considered these things, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared to him in a dream, saying,“ Joseph, son of David, don’t be afraid to take Mary as your wife, because what has been conceived in her is by the Holy Spirit.

And he dreamed: A stairway was set on the ground with its top reaching heaven, and God’s angels were going up and down on it.Yahweh was standing there beside him, saying,“ I am Yahweh, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac. I will give you and your offspring the land that you are now sleeping on.Your offspring will be like the dust of the earth, and you will spread out toward the west, the east, the north, and the south. All the peoples on earth will be blessed through you and your offspring.Look, I am with you and will watch over you wherever you go. I will bring you back to this land, for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.”

You ask and don’t receive because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your evil desires.

The proverbs of Solomon son of David, king of Israel:For learning what wisdom and discipline are; for understanding insightful sayings;for receiving wise instruction in righteousness, justice, and integrity;for teaching shrewdness to the inexperienced, knowledge and discretion to a young man—a wise man will listen and increase his learning, and a discerning man will obtain guidance—for understanding a proverb or a parable, the words of the wise, and their riddles.The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and discipline.Listen, my son, to your father’s instruction, and don’t reject your mother’s teaching,for they will be a garland of grace on your head and a gold chain around your neck.My son, if sinners entice you, don’t be persuaded.If they say—“ Come with us! Let’s set an ambush and kill someone. Let’s attack some innocent person just for fun!Let’s swallow them alive, like Sheol, still healthy as they go down to the Pit.We’ll find all kinds of valuable property and fill our houses with plunder.Throw in your lot with us, and we’ll all share our money”—my son, don’t travel that road with them or set foot on their path,because their feet run toward trouble and they hurry to commit murder.It is foolish to spread a net where any bird can see it,but they set an ambush to kill themselves; they attack their own lives.Such are the paths of all who make profit dishonestly; it takes the lives of those who receive it.Wisdom calls out in the street; she raises her voice in the public squares.She cries out above the commotion; she speaks at the entrance of the city gates:“ How long, foolish ones, will you love ignorance? How long will you mockers enjoy mocking and you fools hate knowledge?If you respond to my warning, then I will pour out my spirit on you and teach you my words.Since I called out and you refused, extended my hand and no one paid attention,since you neglected all my counsel and did not accept my correction,I, in turn, will laugh at your calamity. I will mock when terror strikes you,when terror strikes you like a storm and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when trouble and stress overcome you.Then they will call me, but I won’t answer; they will search for me, but won’t find me.Because they hated knowledge, didn’t choose to fear the Lord,were not interested in my counsel, and rejected all my correction,they will eat the fruit of their way and be glutted with their own schemes.For the turning away of the inexperienced will kill them, and the complacency of fools will destroy them.But whoever listens to me will live securely and be free from the fear of danger.”

For God speaks time and again, but a person may not notice it.In a dream, a vision in the night, when deep sleep falls on people as they slumber on their beds,He uncovers their ears at that time and terrifies them with warnings,

There are no signs for us to see. There is no longer a prophet. And none of us knows how long this will last.

We know that God doesn’t listen to sinners, but if anyone is God-fearing and does His will, He listens to him.

Don’t boast about tomorrow, for you don’t know what a day might bring.Let another praise you, and not your own mouth— a stranger, and not your own lips.A stone is heavy and sand, a burden, but aggravation from a fool outweighs them both.Fury is cruel, and anger a flood, but who can withstand jealousy?Better an open reprimand than concealed love.The wounds of a friend are trustworthy, but the kisses of an enemy are excessive.A person who is full tramples on a honeycomb, but to a hungry person, any bitter thing is sweet.A man wandering from his home is like a bird wandering from its nest.Oil and incense bring joy to the heart, and the sweetness of a friend is better than self-counsel.Don’t abandon your friend or your father’s friend, and don’t go to your brother’s house in your time of calamity; better a neighbor nearby than a brother far away.Be wise, my son, and bring my heart joy, so that I can answer anyone who taunts me.A sensible person sees danger and takes cover; the inexperienced keep going and are punished.Take his garment, for he has put up security for a stranger; get collateral if it is for foreigners.If one blesses his neighbor with a loud voice early in the morning, it will be counted as a curse to him.An endless dripping on a rainy day and a nagging wife are alike.The one who controls her controls the wind and grasps oil with his right hand.Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.Whoever tends a fig tree will eat its fruit, and whoever looks after his master will be honored.As water reflects the face, so the heart reflects the person.Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied, and people’s eyes are never satisfied.A crucible for silver, and a smelter for gold, and a man for the words of his praise.Though you grind a fool in a mortar with a pestle along with grain, you will not separate his foolishness from him.Know well the condition of your flock, and pay attention to your herds,for wealth is not forever; not even a crown lasts for all time.When hay is removed and new growth appears and the grain from the hills is gathered in,lambs will provide your clothing, and goats, the price of a field;there will be enough goat’s milk for your food— food for your household and nourishment for your female servants.The wicked flee when no one is pursuing them, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.When a land is in rebellion, it has many rulers, but with a discerning and knowledgeable person, it endures.A destitute leader who oppresses the poor is like a driving rain that leaves no food.Those who reject the law praise the wicked, but those who keep the law battle against them.Evil men do not understand justice, but those who seek the Lord understand everything.Better a poor man who lives with integrity than a rich man who distorts right and wrong.A discerning son keeps the law, but a companion of gluttons humiliates his father.Whoever increases his wealth through excessive interest collects it for one who is kind to the poor.Anyone who turns his ear away from hearing the law— even his prayer is detestable.The one who leads the upright into an evil way will fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit what is good.A rich man is wise in his own eyes, but a poor man who has discernment sees through him.When the righteous triumph, there is great rejoicing, but when the wicked come to power, people hide themselves.The one who conceals his sins will not prosper, but whoever confesses and renounces them will find mercy.Happy is the one who is always reverent, but one who hardens his heart falls into trouble.A wicked ruler over a helpless people is like a roaring lion or a charging bear.A leader who lacks understanding is very oppressive, but one who hates dishonest profit prolongs his life.A man burdened by bloodguilt will be a fugitive until death. Let no one help him.The one who lives with integrity will be helped, but one who distorts right and wrong will suddenly fall.The one who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty.A faithful man will have many blessings, but one in a hurry to get rich will not go unpunished.It is not good to show partiality— yet a man may sin for a piece of bread.A greedy man is in a hurry for wealth; he doesn’t know that poverty will come to him.One who rebukes a person will later find more favor than one who flatters with his tongue.The one who robs his father or mother and says,“ That’s no sin,” is a companion to a man who destroys.A greedy person provokes conflict, but whoever trusts in the Lord will prosper.The one who trusts in himself is a fool, but one who walks in wisdom will be safe.The one who gives to the poor will not be in need, but one who turns his eyes away will receive many curses.When the wicked come to power, people hide, but when they are destroyed, the righteous flourish.

and the fourth row, a beryl, an onyx, and a jasper. They should be adorned with gold filigree in their settings.

The prophet who has only a dream should recount the dream, but the one who has My word should speak My word truthfully, for what is straw compared to grain?”— this is the Lord’s declaration.

In the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, some of Israel’s elders came to consult the Lord, and they sat down in front of me.Then the word of the Lord came to me:“ Son of man, speak with the elders of Israel and tell them: This is what the Lord God says: Are you coming to consult Me? As I live, I will not be consulted by you.” This is the declaration of the Lord God.

Saul died for his unfaithfulness to the Lord because he did not keep the Lord’s word. He even consulted a medium for guidance,but he did not inquire of the Lord. So the Lord put him to death and turned the kingdom over to David son of Jesse.
