Do not multiply to speak lofty things, boasting: let old matters depart from your mouth: for the Lord is a God of all knowledge, and to him are thoughts prepared.
Rashi
Do not abound in speaking so very proudly. All those who are haughty when they experience good fortune. About Penina who behaved haughtily toward her, was she speaking, according to the simple explanation. However, according to the drash, we follow Targum Yonoson's rendition [that she is referring to Nevuchadnetzar].
Harshness. Strong speech. Others explain עָתָק as an expression of something which is removed [from the truth], as in "from there he moved [וַיַעְתֵּק] to the mountain." [The meaning here being "let not] falsehood come out of your mouth."
For a God of knowledge is Adonoy. He knows what is in your hearts.
And by Him all actions are counted. All people's deeds are counted before Him.
Counted. An expression of number, as in, "and the number [וְתֹכֶן] of bricks shall you give."
