3177. 'Jehovah has prospered my way' means that all things had now been provided. This becomes clear without explanation, for the words 'Jehovah prospers the way' mean that He provides, here as regards truth which was to be joined to good -'way' meaning truth, 627, 2333.

Mouth

  

In most cases, "mouth" in the Bible represents thought and logic, especially the kind of active, concrete thought that is connected with speech. The reason for this is pretty obvious, but it also holds when people, for instance, remove a stone from the mouth of a well, which represents gaining access to spiritual ideas. The mouth is used for eating as well as speaking, of course. In those circumstances, it represents our first, most external perception of a new spiritual idea or desire. This also makes sense, mirroring the way tasting food in the mouth gives us an instant impression of the quality of the food.
