Phrase of Scripture		Correlating Passages

the third		"Job 33:14,15; Although Samuel did not apprehend the way in which God reveals himself to his servants the prophets--by the ""still small voice""--yet when this direct communication from the Almighty was made the third time, in a way altogether new and strange to him, it seems astonishing that he did not immediately apprehend. Perhaps he would have been sooner aware of a divine revelation, had it come in a dream or a vision. Those who have the greatest knowledge of divine things, should remember the time when they were as babes, unskilful in the word of righteousness.; 1Cr 13:11,12"
