Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:24 - That night the LORD appeared to him and said, “I am the God of your father Abraham. Do not be afraid, for I am with you; I will bless you and will increase the number of your descendants for the sake of my servant Abraham.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:1 - When Isaac was old and his eyes were so weak that he could no longer see, he called for Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.” “Here I am,” he answered.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:5 - Now Rebekah was listening as Isaac spoke to his son Esau. When Esau left for the open country to hunt game and bring it back,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:6 - Rebekah said to her son Jacob, “Look, I overheard your father say to your brother Esau,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:15 - Then Rebekah took the best clothes of Esau her older son, which she had in the house, and put them on her younger son Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:22 - Jacob went close to his father Isaac, who touched him and said, “The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:30 - After Isaac finished blessing him, and Jacob had scarcely left his father's presence, his brother Esau came in from hunting.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:38 - Esau said to his father, “Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me too, my father!” Then Esau wept aloud.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:41 - Esau held a grudge against Jacob because of the blessing his father had given him. He said to himself, “The days of mourning for my father are near; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:42 - When Rebekah was told what her older son Esau had said, she sent for her younger son Jacob and said to him, “Your brother Esau is planning to avenge himself by killing you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:43 - Now then, my son, do what I say: Flee at once to my brother Laban in Harran.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:44 - Stay with him for a while until your brother's fury subsides.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:1 - So Isaac called for Jacob and blessed him. Then he commanded him: “Do not marry a Canaanite woman.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:2 - Go at once to Paddan Aram,[fn] to the house of your mother's father Bethuel. Take a wife for yourself there, from among the daughters of Laban, your mother's brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:5 - Then Isaac sent Jacob on his way, and he went to Paddan Aram, to Laban son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, who was the mother of Jacob and Esau.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:6 - Now Esau learned that Isaac had blessed Jacob and had sent him to Paddan Aram to take a wife from there, and that when he blessed him he commanded him, “Do not marry a Canaanite woman,”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:12 - He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:18 - Early the next morning Jacob took the stone he had placed under his head and set it up as a pillar and poured oil on top of it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:21 - so that I return safely to my father's household, then the LORD[fn] will be my God
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:1 - Then Jacob continued on his journey and came to the land of the eastern peoples.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:3 - When all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone away from the well's mouth and water the sheep. Then they would return the stone to its place over the mouth of the well.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:5 - He said to them, “Do you know Laban, Nahor's grandson?” “Yes, we know him,” they answered.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:8 - “We can't,” they replied, “until all the flocks are gathered and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the well. Then we will water the sheep.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:10 - When Jacob saw Rachel daughter of his uncle Laban, and Laban's sheep, he went over and rolled the stone away from the mouth of the well and watered his uncle's sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:13 - As soon as Laban heard the news about Jacob, his sister's son, he hurried to meet him. He embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his home, and there Jacob told him all these things.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:15 - But she said to her, “Wasn't it enough that you took away my husband? Will you take my son's mandrakes too?” “Very well,” Rachel said, “he can sleep with you tonight in return for your son's mandrakes.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:18 - Then Leah said, “God has rewarded me for giving my servant to my husband.” So she named him Issachar.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:25 - After Rachel gave birth to Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me on my way so I can go back to my own homeland.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:28 - He added, “Name your wages, and I will pay them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:7 - yet your father has cheated me by changing my wages ten times. However, God has not allowed him to harm me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:16 - Surely all the wealth that God took away from our father belongs to us and our children. So do whatever God has told you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:18 - and he drove all his livestock ahead of him, along with all the goods he had accumulated in Paddan Aram,[fn] to go to his father Isaac in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:20 - Moreover, Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him he was running away.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:21 - So he fled with all he had, crossed the Euphrates River, and headed for the hill country of Gilead.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:24 - Then God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night and said to him, “Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:25 - Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country of Gilead when Laban overtook him, and Laban and his relatives camped there too.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:30 - Now you have gone off because you longed to return to your father's household. But why did you steal my gods?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:33 - So Laban went into Jacob's tent and into Leah's tent and into the tent of the two female servants, but he found nothing. After he came out of Leah's tent, he entered Rachel's tent.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:41 - It was like this for the twenty years I was in your household. I worked for you fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flocks, and you changed my wages ten times.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:52 - This heap is a witness, and this pillar is a witness, that I will not go past this heap to your side to harm you and that you will not go past this heap and pillar to my side to harm me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:55 - Early the next morning Laban kissed his grandchildren and his daughters and blessed them. Then he left and returned home.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:3 - Jacob sent messengers ahead of him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:6 - When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, “We went to your brother Esau, and now he is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:7 - In great fear and distress Jacob divided the people who were with him into two groups,[fn] and the flocks and herds and camels as well.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:10 - I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I had only my staff when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two camps.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:23 - After he had sent them across the stream, he sent over all his possessions.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:4 - But Esau ran to meet Jacob and embraced him; he threw his arms around his neck and kissed him. And they wept.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:5 - Then Esau looked up and saw the women and children. “Who are these with you?” he asked. Jacob answered, “They are the children God has graciously given your servant.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:14 - So let my lord go on ahead of his servant, while I move along slowly at the pace of the flocks and herds before me and the pace of the children, until I come to my lord in Seir.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:20 - There he set up an altar and called it El Elohe Israel.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:4 - And Shechem said to his father Hamor, “Get me this girl as my wife.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:11 - Then Shechem said to Dinah's father and brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and I will give you whatever you ask.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:26 - They put Hamor and his son Shechem to the sword and took Dinah from Shechem's house and left.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:1 - Then God said to Jacob, “Go up to Bethel and settle there, and build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:27 - Jacob came home to his father Isaac in Mamre, near Kiriath Arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had stayed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:4 - Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, Basemath bore Reuel,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:5 - and Oholibamah bore Jeush, Jalam and Korah. These were the sons of Esau, who were born to him in Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:12 - Esau's son Eliphaz also had a concubine named Timna, who bore him Amalek. These were grandsons of Esau's wife Adah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:14 - The sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah daughter of Anah and granddaughter of Zibeon, whom she bore to Esau: Jeush, Jalam and Korah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:24 - The sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah. This is the Anah who discovered the hot springs[fn] in the desert while he was grazing the donkeys of his father Zibeon.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:2 - This is the account of Jacob's family line. Joseph, a young man of seventeen, was tending the flocks with his brothers, the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives, and he brought their father a bad report about them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:3 - Now Israel loved Joseph more than any of his other sons, because he had been born to him in his old age; and he made an ornate[fn] robe for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:19 - “Here comes that dreamer!” they said to each other.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:22 - “Don't shed any blood. Throw him into this cistern here in the wilderness, but don't lay a hand on him.” Reuben said this to rescue him from them and take him back to his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:23 - So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe—the ornate robe he was wearing—
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:24 - and they took him and threw him into the cistern. The cistern was empty; there was no water in it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:26 - Judah said to his brothers, “What will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:28 - So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels[fn] of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:29 - When Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:31 - Then they got Joseph's robe, slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in the blood.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:32 - They took the ornate robe back to their father and said, “We found this. Examine it to see whether it is your son's robe.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:33 - He recognized it and said, “It is my son's robe! Some ferocious animal has devoured him. Joseph has surely been torn to pieces.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:34 - Then Jacob tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and mourned for his son many days.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:35 - All his sons and daughters came to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. “No,” he said, “I will continue to mourn until I join my son in the grave.” So his father wept for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:36 - Meanwhile, the Midianites[fn] sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh's officials, the captain of the guard.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:18 - He said, “What pledge should I give you?” “Your seal and its cord, and the staff in your hand,” she answered. So he gave them to her and slept with her, and she became pregnant by him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:20 - Meanwhile Judah sent the young goat by his friend the Adullamite in order to get his pledge back from the woman, but he did not find her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:23 - Then Judah said, “Let her keep what she has, or we will become a laughingstock. After all, I did send her this young goat, but you didn't find her.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:25 - As she was being brought out, she sent a message to her father-in-law. “I am pregnant by the man who owns these,” she said. And she added, “See if you recognize whose seal and cord and staff these are.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:5 - From the time he put him in charge of his household and of all that he owned, the LORD blessed the household of the Egyptian because of Joseph. The blessing of the LORD was on everything Potiphar had, both in the house and in the field.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:16 - She kept his cloak beside her until his master came home.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:20 - Joseph's master took him and put him in prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined. But while Joseph was there in the prison,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:23 - The warden paid no attention to anything under Joseph's care, because the LORD was with Joseph and gave him success in whatever he did.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:3 - and put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the same prison where Joseph was confined.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:15 - I was forcibly carried off from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing to deserve being put in a dungeon.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:21 - He restored the chief cupbearer to his position, so that he once again put the cup into Pharaoh's hand—
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:22 - but he impaled the chief baker, just as Joseph had said to them in his interpretation.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:10 - Pharaoh was once angry with his servants, and he imprisoned me and the chief baker in the house of the captain of the guard.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:14 - So Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and he was quickly brought from the dungeon. When he had shaved and changed his clothes, he came before Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:40 - You shall be in charge of my palace, and all my people are to submit to your orders. Only with respect to the throne will I be greater than you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:42 - Then Pharaoh took his signet ring from his finger and put it on Joseph's finger. He dressed him in robes of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:4 - But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with the others, because he was afraid that harm might come to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:16 - Send one of your number to get your brother; the rest of you will be kept in prison, so that your words may be tested to see if you are telling the truth. If you are not, then as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:18 - On the third day, Joseph said to them, “Do this and you will live, for I fear God:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:19 - If you are honest men, let one of your brothers stay here in prison, while the rest of you go and take grain back for your starving households.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:20 - But you must bring your youngest brother to me, so that your words may be verified and that you may not die.” This they proceeded to do.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:21 - They said to one another, “Surely we are being punished because of our brother. We saw how distressed he was when he pleaded with us for his life, but we would not listen; that's why this distress has come on us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:24 - He turned away from them and began to weep, but then came back and spoke to them again. He had Simeon taken from them and bound before their eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:25 - Joseph gave orders to fill their bags with grain, to put each man's silver back in his sack, and to give them provisions for their journey. After this was done for them,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:26 - they loaded their grain on their donkeys and left.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:27 - At the place where they stopped for the night one of them opened his sack to get feed for his donkey, and he saw his silver in the mouth of his sack.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:29 - When they came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan, they told him all that had happened to them. They said,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:33 - “Then the man who is lord over the land said to us, ‘This is how I will know whether you are honest men: Leave one of your brothers here with me, and take food for your starving households and go.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:34 - But bring your youngest brother to me so I will know that you are not spies but honest men. Then I will give your brother back to you, and you can trade[fn] in the land.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:36 - Their father Jacob said to them, “You have deprived me of my children. Joseph is no more and Simeon is no more, and now you want to take Benjamin. Everything is against me!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:2 - So when they had eaten all the grain they had brought from Egypt, their father said to them, “Go back and buy us a little more food.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:4 - If you will send our brother along with us, we will go down and buy food for you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:5 - But if you will not send him, we will not go down, because the man said to us, ‘You will not see my face again unless your brother is with you.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:7 - They replied, “The man questioned us closely about ourselves and our family. ‘Is your father still living?' he asked us. ‘Do you have another brother?' We simply answered his questions. How were we to know he would say, ‘Bring your brother down here'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:8 - Then Judah said to Israel his father, “Send the boy along with me and we will go at once, so that we and you and our children may live and not die.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:13 - Take your brother also and go back to the man at once.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:14 - And may God Almighty[fn] grant you mercy before the man so that he will let your other brother and Benjamin come back with you. As for me, if I am bereaved, I am bereaved.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:15 - So the men took the gifts and double the amount of silver, and Benjamin also. They hurried down to Egypt and presented themselves to Joseph.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:16 - When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, “Take these men to my house, slaughter an animal and prepare a meal; they are to eat with me at noon.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:17 - The man did as Joseph told him and took the men to Joseph's house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:18 - Now the men were frightened when they were taken to his house. They thought, “We were brought here because of the silver that was put back into our sacks the first time. He wants to attack us and overpower us and seize us as slaves and take our donkeys.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:19 - So they went up to Joseph's steward and spoke to him at the entrance to the house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:23 - “It's all right,” he said. “Don't be afraid. Your God, the God of your father, has given you treasure in your sacks; I received your silver.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:26 - When Joseph came home, they presented to him the gifts they had brought into the house, and they bowed down before him to the ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:29 - As he looked about and saw his brother Benjamin, his own mother's son, he asked, “Is this your youngest brother, the one you told me about?” And he said, “God be gracious to you, my son.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:33 - The men had been seated before him in the order of their ages, from the firstborn to the youngest; and they looked at each other in astonishment.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:2 - Then put my cup, the silver one, in the mouth of the youngest one's sack, along with the silver for his grain.” And he did as Joseph said.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:11 - Each of them quickly lowered his sack to the ground and opened it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:12 - Then the steward proceeded to search, beginning with the oldest and ending with the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:13 - At this, they tore their clothes. Then they all loaded their donkeys and returned to the city.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:17 - But Joseph said, “Far be it from me to do such a thing! Only the man who was found to have the cup will become my slave. The rest of you, go back to your father in peace.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:22 - And we said to my lord, ‘The boy cannot leave his father; if he leaves him, his father will die.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:24 - When we went back to your servant my father, we told him what my lord had said.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:30 - “So now, if the boy is not with us when I go back to your servant my father, and if my father, whose life is closely bound up with the boy's life,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:32 - Your servant guaranteed the boy's safety to my father. I said, ‘If I do not bring him back to you, I will bear the blame before you, my father, all my life!'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:34 - How can I go back to my father if the boy is not with me? No! Do not let me see the misery that would come on my father.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:2 - And he wept so loudly that the Egyptians heard him, and Pharaoh's household heard about it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:9 - Now hurry back to my father and say to him, ‘This is what your son Joseph says: God has made me lord of all Egypt. Come down to me; don't delay.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:13 - Tell my father about all the honor accorded me in Egypt and about everything you have seen. And bring my father down here quickly.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:14 - Then he threw his arms around his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin embraced him, weeping.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:16 - When the news reached Pharaoh's palace that Joseph's brothers had come, Pharaoh and all his officials were pleased.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:18 - and bring your father and your families back to me. I will give you the best of the land of Egypt and you can enjoy the fat of the land.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:19 - “You are also directed to tell them, ‘Do this: Take some carts from Egypt for your children and your wives, and get your father and come.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:25 - So they went up out of Egypt and came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:5 - Then Jacob left Beersheba, and Israel's sons took their father Jacob and their children and their wives in the carts that Pharaoh had sent to transport him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:20 - In Egypt, Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:21 - The sons of Benjamin: Bela, Beker, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim and Ard.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:28 - Now Jacob sent Judah ahead of him to Joseph to get directions to Goshen. When they arrived in the region of Goshen,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:29 - Joseph had his chariot made ready and went to Goshen to meet his father Israel. As soon as Joseph appeared before him, he threw his arms around his father[fn] and wept for a long time.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:6 - and the land of Egypt is before you; settle your father and your brothers in the best part of the land. Let them live in Goshen. And if you know of any among them with special ability, put them in charge of my own livestock.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:7 - Then Joseph brought his father Jacob in and presented him before Pharaoh. After Jacob blessed[fn] Pharaoh,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:10 - Then Jacob blessed[fn] Pharaoh and went out from his presence.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:11 - So Joseph settled his father and his brothers in Egypt and gave them property in the best part of the land, the district of Rameses, as Pharaoh directed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:14 - Joseph collected all the money that was to be found in Egypt and Canaan in payment for the grain they were buying, and he brought it to Pharaoh's palace.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:18 - When that year was over, they came to him the following year and said, “We cannot hide from our lord the fact that since our money is gone and our livestock belongs to you, there is nothing left for our lord except our bodies and our land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:21 - and Joseph reduced the people to servitude,[fn] from one end of Egypt to the other.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:29 - When the time drew near for Israel to die, he called for his son Joseph and said to him, “If I have found favor in your eyes, put your hand under my thigh and promise that you will show me kindness and faithfulness. Do not bury me in Egypt,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:1 - Some time later Joseph was told, “Your father is ill.” So he took his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim along with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:7 - As I was returning from Paddan,[fn] to my sorrow Rachel died in the land of Canaan while we were still on the way, a little distance from Ephrath. So I buried her there beside the road to Ephrath” (that is, Bethlehem).
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:13 - And Joseph took both of them, Ephraim on his right toward Israel's left hand and Manasseh on his left toward Israel's right hand, and brought them close to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:20 - He blessed them that day and said, “In your[fn] name will Israel pronounce this blessing: ‘May God make you like Ephraim and Manasseh.' ” So he put Ephraim ahead of Manasseh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:11 - He will tether his donkey to a vine, his colt to the choicest branch; he will wash his garments in wine, his robes in the blood of grapes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:15 - When he sees how good is his resting place and how pleasant is his land, he will bend his shoulder to the burden and submit to forced labor.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:16 - “Dan[fn] will provide justice for his people as one of the tribes of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:29 - Then he gave them these instructions: “I am about to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:33 - When Jacob had finished giving instructions to his sons, he drew his feet up into the bed, breathed his last and was gathered to his people.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:2 - Then Joseph directed the physicians in his service to embalm his father Israel. So the physicians embalmed him,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:5 - ‘My father made me swear an oath and said, “I am about to die; bury me in the tomb I dug for myself in the land of Canaan.” Now let me go up and bury my father; then I will return.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:6 - Pharaoh said, “Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear to do.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:7 - So Joseph went up to bury his father. All Pharaoh's officials accompanied him—the dignitaries of his court and all the dignitaries of Egypt—
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:14 - After burying his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, together with his brothers and all the others who had gone with him to bury his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:8 - Then a new king, to whom Joseph meant nothing, came to power in Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:17 - The midwives, however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt had told them to do; they let the boys live.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:21 - And because the midwives feared God, he gave them families of their own.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:22 - Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: “Every Hebrew boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:3 - But when she could hide him no longer, she got a papyrus basket[fn] for him and coated it with tar and pitch. Then she placed the child in it and put it among the reeds along the bank of the Nile.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:5 - Then Pharaoh's daughter went down to the Nile to bathe, and her attendants were walking along the riverbank. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her female slave to get it.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:9 - Pharaoh's daughter said to her, “Take this baby and nurse him for me, and I will pay you.” So the woman took the baby and nursed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:11 - One day, after Moses had grown up, he went out to where his own people were and watched them at their hard labor. He saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his own people.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:12 - Looking this way and that and seeing no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:13 - The next day he went out and saw two Hebrews fighting. He asked the one in the wrong, “Why are you hitting your fellow Hebrew?”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:27 - But Jonathan had not heard that his father had bound the people with the oath, so he reached out the end of the staff that was in his hand and dipped it into the honeycomb. He raised his hand to his mouth, and his eyes brightened.[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:34 - Then he said, “Go out among the men and tell them, ‘Each of you bring me your cattle and sheep, and slaughter them here and eat them. Do not sin against the LORD by eating meat with blood still in it.' ” So everyone brought his ox that night and slaughtered it there.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:47 - After Saul had assumed rule over Israel, he fought against their enemies on every side: Moab, the Ammonites, Edom, the kings[fn] of Zobah, and the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he inflicted punishment on them.[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:26 - But Samuel said to him, “I will not go back with you. You have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you as king over Israel!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:32 - Then Samuel said, “Bring me Agag king of the Amalekites.” Agag came to him in chains.[fn] And he thought, “Surely the bitterness of death is past.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:33 - But Samuel said, “As your sword has made women childless, so will your mother be childless among women.” And Samuel put Agag to death before the LORD at Gilgal.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:34 - Then Samuel left for Ramah, but Saul went up to his home in Gibeah of Saul.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:35 - Until the day Samuel died, he did not go to see Saul again, though Samuel mourned for him. And the LORD regretted that he had made Saul king over Israel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:3 - Invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what to do. You are to anoint for me the one I indicate.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:5 - Samuel replied, “Yes, in peace; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Consecrate yourselves and come to the sacrifice with me.” Then he consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:6 - When they arrived, Samuel saw Eliab and thought, “Surely the LORD's anointed stands here before the LORD.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:8 - Then Jesse called Abinadab and had him pass in front of Samuel. But Samuel said, “The LORD has not chosen this one either.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:9 - Jesse then had Shammah pass by, but Samuel said, “Nor has the LORD chosen this one.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:12 - So he sent for him and had him brought in. He was glowing with health and had a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the LORD said, “Rise and anoint him; this is the one.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:19 - Then Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, “Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:33 - Saul replied, “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:36 - Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, because he has defied the armies of the living God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:38 - Then Saul dressed David in his own tunic. He put a coat of armor on him and a bronze helmet on his head.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:39 - David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them. “I cannot go in these,” he said to Saul, “because I am not used to them.” So he took them off.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:40 - Then he took his staff in his hand, chose five smooth stones from the stream, put them in the pouch of his shepherd's bag and, with his sling in his hand, approached the Philistine.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:42 - He looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome, and he despised him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:43 - He said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:45 - David said to the Philistine, “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the LORD Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:49 - Reaching into his bag and taking out a stone, he slung it and struck the Philistine on the forehead. The stone sank into his forehead, and he fell facedown on the ground.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:9 - And from that time on Saul kept a close eye on David.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:16 - But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he led them in their campaigns.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:20 - Now Saul's daughter Michal was in love with David, and when they told Saul about it, he was pleased.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:1 - Saul told his son Jonathan and all the attendants to kill David. But Jonathan had taken a great liking to David
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:3 - I will go out and stand with my father in the field where you are. I'll speak to him about you and will tell you what I find out.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:4 - Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Let not the king do wrong to his servant David; he has not wronged you, and what he has done has benefited you greatly.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:5 - He took his life in his hands when he killed the Philistine. The LORD won a great victory for all Israel, and you saw it and were glad. Why then would you do wrong to an innocent man like David by killing him for no reason?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:7 - So Jonathan called David and told him the whole conversation. He brought him to Saul, and David was with Saul as before.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:10 - Saul tried to pin him to the wall with his spear, but David eluded him as Saul drove the spear into the wall. That night David made good his escape.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:12 - So Michal let David down through a window, and he fled and escaped.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:14 - When Saul sent the men to capture David, Michal said, “He is ill.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:15 - Then Saul sent the men back to see David and told them, “Bring him up to me in his bed so that I may kill him.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:17 - Saul said to Michal, “Why did you deceive me like this and send my enemy away so that he escaped?” Michal told him, “He said to me, ‘Let me get away. Why should I kill you?' ”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:20 - so he sent men to capture him. But when they saw a group of prophets prophesying, with Samuel standing there as their leader, the Spirit of God came on Saul's men, and they also prophesied.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:8 - As for you, show kindness to your servant, for you have brought him into a covenant with you before the LORD. If I am guilty, then kill me yourself! Why hand me over to your father?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:12 - Then Jonathan said to David, “I swear by the LORD, the God of Israel, that I will surely sound out my father by this time the day after tomorrow! If he is favorably disposed toward you, will I not send you word and let you know?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:19 - The day after tomorrow, toward evening, go to the place where you hid when this trouble began, and wait by the stone Ezel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:25 - He sat in his customary place by the wall, opposite Jonathan,[fn] and Abner sat next to Saul, but David's place was empty.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:27 - But the next day, the second day of the month, David's place was empty again. Then Saul said to his son Jonathan, “Why hasn't the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:31 - As long as the son of Jesse lives on this earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Now send someone to bring him to me, for he must die!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:33 - But Saul hurled his spear at him to kill him. Then Jonathan knew that his father intended to kill David.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:34 - Jonathan got up from the table in fierce anger; on that second day of the feast he did not eat, because he was grieved at his father's shameful treatment of David.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:38 - Then he shouted, “Hurry! Go quickly! Don't stop!” The boy picked up the arrow and returned to his master.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:41 - After the boy had gone, David got up from the south side of the stone and bowed down before Jonathan three times, with his face to the ground. Then they kissed each other and wept together—but David wept the most.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:1 - David went to Nob, to Ahimelek the priest. Ahimelek trembled when he met him, and asked, “Why are you alone? Why is no one with you?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:13 - So he pretended to be insane in their presence; and while he was in their hands he acted like a madman, making marks on the doors of the gate and letting saliva run down his beard.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:8 - Is that why you have all conspired against me? No one tells me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you is concerned about me or tells me that my son has incited my servant to lie in wait for me, as he does today.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:9 - But Doeg the Edomite, who was standing with Saul's officials, said, “I saw the son of Jesse come to Ahimelek son of Ahitub at Nob.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:11 - Then the king sent for the priest Ahimelek son of Ahitub and all the men of his family, who were the priests at Nob, and they all came to the king.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:15 - Was that day the first time I inquired of God for him? Of course not! Let not the king accuse your servant or any of his father's family, for your servant knows nothing at all about this whole affair.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:8 - And Saul called up all his forces for battle, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:9 - When David learned that Saul was plotting against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:15 - While David was at Horesh in the Desert of Ziph, he learned that[fn] Saul had come out to take his life.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:19 - The Ziphites went up to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding among us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hakilah, south of Jeshimon?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:22 - Go and get more information. Find out where David usually goes and who has seen him there. They tell me he is very crafty.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:2 - So Saul took three thousand able young men from all Israel and set out to look for David and his men near the Crags of the Wild Goats.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:4 - The men said, “This is the day the LORD spoke of when he said[fn] to you, ‘I will give your enemy into your hands for you to deal with as you wish.' ” Then David crept up unnoticed and cut off a corner of Saul's robe.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:7 - With these words David sharply rebuked his men and did not allow them to attack Saul. And Saul left the cave and went his way.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:19 - When a man finds his enemy, does he let him get away unharmed? May the LORD reward you well for the way you treated me today.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:22 - So David gave his oath to Saul. Then Saul returned home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:11 - Why should I take my bread and water, and the meat I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give it to men coming from who knows where?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:14 - One of the servants told Abigail, Nabal's wife, “David sent messengers from the wilderness to give our master his greetings, but he hurled insults at them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:17 - Now think it over and see what you can do, because disaster is hanging over our master and his whole household. He is such a wicked man that no one can talk to him.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:23 - When Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her donkey and bowed down before David with her face to the ground.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:25 - Please pay no attention, my lord, to that wicked man Nabal. He is just like his name—his name means Fool, and folly goes with him. And as for me, your servant, I did not see the men my lord sent.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:38 - About ten days later, the LORD struck Nabal and he died.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:39 - When David heard that Nabal was dead, he said, “Praise be to the LORD, who has upheld my cause against Nabal for treating me with contempt. He has kept his servant from doing wrong and has brought Nabal's wrongdoing down on his own head.” Then David sent word to Abigail, asking her to become his wife.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:1 - The Ziphites went to Saul at Gibeah and said, “Is not David hiding on the hill of Hakilah, which faces Jeshimon?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:2 - So Saul went down to the Desert of Ziph, with his three thousand select Israelite troops, to search there for David.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:5 - Then David set out and went to the place where Saul had camped. He saw where Saul and Abner son of Ner, the commander of the army, had lain down. Saul was lying inside the camp, with the army encamped around him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:6 - David then asked Ahimelek the Hittite and Abishai son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, “Who will go down into the camp with me to Saul?” “I'll go with you,” said Abishai.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:7 - So David and Abishai went to the army by night, and there was Saul, lying asleep inside the camp with his spear stuck in the ground near his head. Abner and the soldiers were lying around him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:8 - Abishai said to David, “Today God has delivered your enemy into your hands. Now let me pin him to the ground with one thrust of the spear; I won't strike him twice.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:11 - But the LORD forbid that I should lay a hand on the LORD's anointed. Now get the spear and water jug that are near his head, and let's go.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:12 - So David took the spear and water jug near Saul's head, and they left. No one saw or knew about it, nor did anyone wake up. They were all sleeping, because the LORD had put them into a deep sleep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:14 - He called out to the army and to Abner son of Ner, “Aren't you going to answer me, Abner?” Abner replied, “Who are you who calls to the king?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:15 - David said, “You're a man, aren't you? And who is like you in Israel? Why didn't you guard your lord the king? Someone came to destroy your lord the king.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:16 - What you have done is not good. As surely as the LORD lives, you and your men must die, because you did not guard your master, the LORD's anointed. Look around you. Where are the king's spear and water jug that were near his head?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:25 - Then Saul said to David, “May you be blessed, David my son; you will do great things and surely triumph.” So David went on his way, and Saul returned home.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:9 - Why did you despise the word of the LORD by doing what is evil in his eyes? You struck down Uriah the Hittite with the sword and took his wife to be your own. You killed him with the sword of the Ammonites.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:6 - I your servant had two sons. They got into a fight with each other in the field, and no one was there to separate them. One struck the other and killed him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:7 - Now the whole clan has risen up against your servant; they say, ‘Hand over the one who struck his brother down, so that we may put him to death for the life of his brother whom he killed; then we will get rid of the heir as well.' They would put out the only burning coal I have left, leaving my husband neither name nor descendant on the face of the earth.”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:11 - She said, “Then let the king invoke the LORD his God to prevent the avenger of blood from adding to the destruction, so that my son will not be destroyed.” “As surely as the LORD lives,” he said, “not one hair of your son's head will fall to the ground.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:12 - Then the woman said, “Let your servant speak a word to my lord the king.” “Speak,” he replied.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:13 - The woman said, “Why then have you devised a thing like this against the people of God? When the king says this, does he not convict himself, for the king has not brought back his banished son?
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:15 - “And now I have come to say this to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid. Your servant thought, ‘I will speak to the king; perhaps he will grant his servant's request.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:16 - Perhaps the king will agree to deliver his servant from the hand of the man who is trying to cut off both me and my son from God's inheritance.'

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:22 - Joab fell with his face to the ground to pay him honor, and he blessed the king. Joab said, “Today your servant knows that he has found favor in your eyes, my lord the king, because the king has granted his servant's request.”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:31 - Then Joab did go to Absalom's house, and he said to him, “Why have your servants set my field on fire?”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:32 - Absalom said to Joab, “Look, I sent word to you and said, ‘Come here so I can send you to the king to ask, “Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me if I were still there!” ' Now then, I want to see the king's face, and if I am guilty of anything, let him put me to death.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:33 - So Joab went to the king and told him this. Then the king summoned Absalom, and he came in and bowed down with his face to the ground before the king. And the king kissed Absalom.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 15:2 - He would get up early and stand by the side of the road leading to the city gate.

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:4 - Generations come and generations go, but the earth remains forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:5 - The sun rises and the sun sets, and hurries back to where it rises.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:9 - What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:13 - I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind!
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:14 - I have seen all the things that are done under the sun; all of them are meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:3 - I tried cheering myself with wine, and embracing folly—my mind still guiding me with wisdom. I wanted to see what was good for people to do under the heavens during the few days of their lives.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:11 - Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:17 - So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:18 - I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:19 - And who knows whether that person will be wise or foolish? Yet they will have control over all the fruit of my toil into which I have poured my effort and skill under the sun. This too is meaningless.

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:22 - What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:1 - There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:10 - I have seen the burden God has laid on the human race.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:11 - He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet[fn] no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:14 - I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:15 - Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:16 - And I saw something else under the sun: In the place of judgment—wickedness was there, in the place of justice—wickedness was there.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:17 - I said to myself, “God will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:20 - All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:1 - Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun: I saw the tears of the oppressed— and they have no comforter; power was on the side of their oppressors— and they have no comforter.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:3 - But better than both is the one who has never been born, who has not seen the evil that is done under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:4 - And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person's envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:7 - Again I saw something meaningless under the sun:
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:9 - Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their labor:

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:7 - Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore fear God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:13 - I have seen a grievous evil under the sun: wealth hoarded to the harm of its owners,
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:18 - This is what I have observed to be good: that it is appropriate for a person to eat, to drink and to find satisfaction in their toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given them—for this is their lot.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:1 - I have seen another evil under the sun, and it weighs heavily on mankind:
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:8 - What advantage have the wise over fools? What do the poor gain by knowing how to conduct themselves before others?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:12 - For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:6 - Like the crackling of thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of fools. This too is meaningless.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:11 - Wisdom, like an inheritance, is a good thing and benefits those who see the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:12 - Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it.

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:29 - This only have I found: God created mankind upright, but they have gone in search of many schemes.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:8 - As no one has power over the wind to contain it, so[fn] no one has power over the time of their death. As no one is discharged in time of war, so wickedness will not release those who practice it.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:9 - All this I saw, as I applied my mind to everything done under the sun. There is a time when a man lords it over others to his own[fn] hurt.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:12 - Although a wicked person who commits a hundred crimes may live a long time, I know that it will go better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:15 - So I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given them under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:16 - When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the labor that is done on earth—people getting no sleep day or night—
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:17 - then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:2 - All share a common destiny—the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad,[fn] the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. As it is with the good, so with the sinful; as it is with those who take oaths, so with those who are afraid to take them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:3 - This is the evil in everything that happens under the sun: The same destiny overtakes all. The hearts of people, moreover, are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterward they join the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:4 - Anyone who is among the living has hope[fn]—even a live dog is better off than a dead lion!
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:6 - Their love, their hate and their jealousy have long since vanished; never again will they have a part in anything that happens under the sun.

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:11 - I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:12 - Moreover, no one knows when their hour will come: As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so people are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:13 - I also saw under the sun this example of wisdom that greatly impressed me:
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:5 - There is an evil I have seen under the sun, the sort of error that arises from a ruler:
