'Saying' in the Bible

Then he angrily speaks to them and terrifies them in his rage, saying,

For I hear what so many are saying, the terrifying news that comes from every direction. When they plot together against me, they figure out how they can take my life.

I will declare a wise saying; I will share my profound thoughts.

When the godly see this, they will be filled with awe, and will mock the evildoer, saying:

They insulted God, saying, "Is God really able to give us food in the wilderness?

saying, "To you I will give the land of Canaan as the portion of your inheritance."

saying, "Don't touch my chosen ones! Don't harm my prophets!"

for there our captors ask us to compose songs; those who mock us demand that we be happy, saying: "Sing for us a song about Zion!"
