Commentary

I will incline mine ear to a parable,.... In which way of speaking the doctrines of the Gospel were delivered out by Chri st, Mat 13:3 . Wherefore the prophet, representing his apostles and disciples, signifies that he would listen thereunto, that he might attain to the knowledge thereof, and communicate it to others; I will open my dark saying upon the harp; the enigmas, riddles, and mysteries of the Gospel, being understood by the ministers of it, are opened and explained in a very pleasant and delightful manner; they are made clear and evident, and are as a lovely song upon a harp; see Eze 33:32 .
