11 Ah, Jehovah,* please, let your ear become attentive to the prayer of your servant and to the prayer+ of your servants who take delight in fearing your name;+ and, please, do grant success to your servant today+ and make him an object of pity before this man.”+

Now I myself happened to be cupbearer+ to the king.

10 The fear of Jehovah is the start of wisdom,+ and the knowledge of the Most Holy One* is what understanding is.+

17 Also, he will go before him with E·liʹjah’s*+ spirit and power, to turn back the hearts+ of fathers to children and the disobedient ones to the practical wisdom of righteous ones, to get ready for Jehovah*+ a prepared people.”+
