Psalm 49:5
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
5 I will turn my ear to a riddle,[a]
expound my question on a lyre.
Footnotes
- 49:5 Riddle: the psalmist’s personal solution to the perennial biblical problem of the prosperity of the wicked. Question: parallel in meaning to problem; in wisdom literature it means the mysterious way of how the world works.
Matthew 13:35
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Matthew 13:35
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
35 to fulfill what had been said through the prophet:[a]
“I will open my mouth in parables,
I will announce what has lain hidden from the foundation [of the world].”(A)
Footnotes
- 13:35 The prophet: some textual witnesses read “Isaiah the prophet.” The quotation is actually from Ps 78:2; the first line corresponds to the LXX text of the psalm. The psalm’s title ascribes it to Asaph, the founder of one of the guilds of temple musicians. He is called “the prophet” (NAB “the seer”) in 2 Chr 29:30, but it is doubtful that Matthew averted to that; for him, any Old Testament text that could be seen as fulfilled in Jesus was prophetic.
