That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth; that thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee?
That I might make thee know the certainty of the words of truth. The words of Scripture are:
(1) certain, and not at all ambiguous or equivocal (like the pagan oracles);
(2) full of truth, and therefore full of salutary power.
That thou mightest answer the words of truth to them that send unto thee? - to consult thee. One experimentally taught in Scripture becomes a kind of oracle whom others may consult in difficulties. But Gejer, after the Vulgate, Chaldaic, and Syriac, translates, 'to them that send thee'-namely, to thy superiors who send thee on any mission. So the Hebrew (1 Samuel 21:2; 2 Samuel 24:13; 1 Chronicles 21:12). But the Arabic supports the English version.
