I hear the LORD saying, “I will stay close to you, instructing and guiding you along the pathway for your life. I will advise you along the way and lead you forth with My eyes as your guide. So don’t make it difficult; don’t be stubborn when I take you where you’ve not been before. Don’t make Me tug you and pull you along. Just come with Me!”
Psalms 32:8-9 TPT
The LORD says, “I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you. Do not be like a senseless horse or mule that needs a bit and bridle to keep it under control.”
NLT
⌞The LORD says,⌟ “I will instruct you. I will teach you the way that you should go. I will advise you as My eyes watch over you. Don’t be stubborn like a horse or mule. ⌞They need⌟ a bit and bridle in their mouth to restrain them, or they will not come near you.”
GW
The LORD says, “I will make you wise. I will show you where to go. I will guide you and watch over you. So don’t be like a horse or donkey. They don’t understand. They must be led with bits and reins, or they will not come near you.”
ICB
You said to me, “I will point out the road that you should follow. I will be your teacher and watch over you. Don't be stupid like horses and mules that must be led with ropes to make them obey.”
CEV
“Let Me instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; Let Me counsel, My eye be on you. Do not be like the horse, like the mule, With no understanding, with bit and bridle, Else they do not come near you.”
Tehillim TS2009
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will guide you with My eye. Do not be like the horse or like the mule, Which have no understanding, Which must be harnessed with bit and bridle, Else they will not come near you.
NKJV
I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you [who are willing to learn] with My eye upon you. Do not be like the horse or like the mule which have no understanding, Whose trappings include bridle and rein to hold them in check, Otherwise they will not come near to you.
