Ver. 2. Son of man, put forth a riddle] Acue acumen, ſharpen a ſharpening, or whet a whetting. The Prophet might have expreſſed Gods mind in fewer words; but then it would not have taken ſo deep an impreſſion. Parents muſt whet Gods Word upon their children, Deut. 6.7. Miniſters upon their people, and Chriſtians upon one another for the increaſe of love and good works, Heb. 10.24. Riddles exerciſe the wit, and parables help the memory, and excite both attention and affection.
