An explaination

Waiting is what I was doing.
I did not know the men were making a riddle.
Might be "the gift that can destroy the heart"
I thought they were silly old men, who were teaching the Bible for free.
And we there who had intelligence were learning patience.
And self control.
Do you know why "self control" is last on the list of the fruits of the spirit?
It is because for most people it is the hardest to put on.

I was hearing things that were inconsistent with logical understanding.
But the Bible warns  at Hebrews 13:17

Hebrews 13:17 Greek Study Bible (Apostolic / Interlinear) Πείθεσθε τοῖς ἡγουμένοις ὑμῶν καὶ ὑπείκετε, αὐτοὶ γὰρ ἀγρυπνοῦσιν ὑπὲρ τῶν ψυχῶν ὑμῶνὡς λόγον ἀποδώσοντες, ἵνα μετὰ χαρᾶς τοῦτο ποιῶσιν καὶ μὴ στενάζοντες· ἀλυσιτελὲς γὰρὑμῖν τοῦτο. KJV with Strong's  Obey them that have the rule over you and submit yourselves for they watch for your souls as they that must giveaccount that they may do it with joy and not with grief for that is unprofitable for you
