highlighted Nehemiah 2:9-16 NASB
When aSanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard about it, it was very displeasing to them that someone had come to seek the welfare of the sons of Israel.So I acame to Jerusalem and was there three days.And I arose in the night, I and a few men with me. I did not tell anyone what my God was putting into my mind to do for Jerusalem and there was no animal with me except the animal on which I was riding.So I went out at night by athe Valley Gate in the direction of the Dragon's Well and on to the Refuse Gate, inspecting the walls of Jerusalem bwhich were broken down and its cgates which were consumed by fire.Then I passed on to athe Fountain Gate and bthe King's Pool, but there was no place for my mount to pass.So I went up at night by the aravine and inspected the wall. Then I entered the Valley Gate again and returned.The officials did not know where I had gone or what I had done; nor had I as yet told the Jews, the priests, the nobles, the officials or the rest who did the work.Then I came to athe governors of the provinces beyond the River and gave them the king's letters. Now bthe king had sent with me officers of the army and horsemen.

And it came about in the month Nisan, ain the twentieth year of King bArtaxerxes, that wine was before him, and cI took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad in his presence.So the king said to me, "Why is your face sad though you are not sick? aThis is nothing but sadness of heart." Then I was very much afraid.I said to the king, "aLet the king live forever. Why should my face not be sad bwhen the city, the place of my fathers' tombs, lies desolate and its gates have been consumed by fire?"Then the king said to me, "What would you request?" aSo I prayed to the God of heaven.I said to the king, "If it please the king, and if your servant has found favor before you, send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' tombs, that I may rebuild it."Then the king said to me, the queen sitting beside him, "How long will your journey be, and when will you return?" So it pleased the king to send me, and aI gave him a definite time.And I said to the king, "If it please the king, let letters be given me afor the governors of the provinces beyond the River, that they may allow me to pass through until I come to Judah,and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king's aforest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of bthe fortress which is by the temple, for the wall of the city and for the house to which I will go."

highlighted 1 Corinthians 2:10-16 NASB
aFor to us God revealed them bthrough the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the cdepths of God.For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the aspirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.Now we ahave received, not the spirit of bthe world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may know the things freely given to us by God,which things we also speak, anot in words taught by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining spiritual thoughts with spiritual words.But a anatural man bdoes not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are cfoolishness to him; and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised.But he who is aspiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no one.For aWHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE Lord, THAT HE WILL INSTRUCT HIM? But bwe have the mind of Christ.

Yet we do speak wisdom among those who are amature; a wisdom, however, not of bthis age nor of the rulers of bthis age, who are cpassing away;but we speak God's wisdom in a amystery, the hidden wisdom which God bpredestined before the cages to our glory;the wisdom awhich none of the rulers of bthis age has understood; for if they had understood it they would not have crucified cthe Lord of glory;but just as it is written,
