Hi, God bless all people. Dark sayings in 1-4 is an interesting word. The inner meaning of God can only be accessed through reading the bible and thought. Peace be with you.

Dark sayings - not easily seen; you must seek out the meaning and search the Word to find the answers. Seeking understanding develops into wisdom; changing from seeking to application of principal ethics.

To understand means not to be evil, cause evil has its own course and a man's actions describe his course no matter the body

To understand a wise saying, to grasp the meaning of it, to listen to the word of the wise and understand the meaning. -Dark sayings are not ominous here but rather not in the light or easily seen. They are dark or hidden.
