Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:29 - He said, ‘Let me go, for our clan holds a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to be there. So now, if I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away and see my brothers.' For this reason he has not come to the king's table.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:30 - Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan, and he said to him, “You son of a perverse, rebellious woman, do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:15 - Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this fellow to behave as a madman in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:6 - Now Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men who were with him. Saul was sitting at Gibeah under the tamarisk tree on the height with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:8 - that all of you have conspired against me? No one discloses to me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you is sorry for me or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:15 - Is today the first time that I have inquired of God for him? No! Let not the king impute anything to his servant or to all the house of my father, for your servant has known nothing of all this, much or little.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:17 - And the king said to the guard who stood about him, “Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because their hand also is with David, and they knew that he fled and did not disclose it to me.” But the servants of the king would not put out their hand to strike the priests of the LORD.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:11 - See, my father, see the corner of your robe in my hand. For by the fact that I cut off the corner of your robe and did not kill you, you may know and see that there is no wrong or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt my life to take it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:17 - He said to David, “You are more righteous than I, for you have repaid me good, whereas I have repaid you evil.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:19 - For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away safe? So may the LORD reward you with good for what you have done to me this day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:20 - And now, behold, I know that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:21 - Swear to me therefore by the LORD that you will not cut off my offspring after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father's house.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:4 - David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:7 - I hear that you have shearers. Now your shepherds have been with us, and we did them no harm, and they missed nothing all the time they were in Carmel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:8 - Ask your young men, and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we come on a feast day. Please give whatever you have at hand to your servants and to your son David.'”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:17 - Now therefore know this and consider what you should do, for harm is determined against our master and against all his house, and he is such a worthless man that one cannot speak to him.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:25 - Let not my lord regard this worthless fellow, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal[fn] is his name, and folly is with him. But I your servant did not see the young men of my lord, whom you sent.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:28 - Please forgive the trespass of your servant. For the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the LORD, and evil shall not be found in you so long as you live.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:30 - And when the LORD has done to my lord according to all the good that he has spoken concerning you and has appointed you prince[fn] over Israel,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:34 - For as surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives, who has restrained me from hurting you, unless you had hurried and come to meet me, truly by morning there had not been left to Nabal so much as one male.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:3 - And Saul encamped on the hill of Hachilah, which is beside the road on the east of Jeshimon. But David remained in the wilderness. When he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness,

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:15 - And David said to Abner, “Are you not a man? Who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy the king your lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:16 - This thing that you have done is not good. As the LORD lives, you deserve to die, because you have not kept watch over your lord, the LORD's anointed. And now see where the king's spear is and the jar of water that was at his head.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:18 - And he said, “Why does my lord pursue after his servant? For what have I done? What evil is on my hands?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:19 - Now therefore let my lord the king hear the words of his servant. If it is the LORD who has stirred you up against me, may he accept an offering, but if it is men, may they be cursed before the LORD, for they have driven me out this day that I should have no share in the heritage of the LORD, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:20 - Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the earth away from the presence of the LORD, for the king of Israel has come out to seek a single flea like one who hunts a partridge in the mountains.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:6 - Then Achish called David and said to him, “As the LORD lives, you have been honest, and to me it seems right that you should march out and in with me in the campaign.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:8 - And David said to Achish, “But what have I done? What have you found in your servant from the day I entered your service until now, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”

and lets them be warmed on the ground,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:15 - forgetting that a foot may crush them

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 3:5 - I lay down and slept;
I woke again, for the LORD sustained me.

their inmost self is destruction;
their throat is an open grave;
they flatter with their tongue.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 5:10 - Make them bear their guilt, O God;
let them fall by their own counsels;
because of the abundance of their transgressions cast them out,
for they have rebelled against you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 5:12 - For you bless the righteous, O LORD;

for the LORD has heard the sound of my weeping.

You have set your glory above the heavens.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 8:3 - When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

you have sat on the throne, giving righteous judgment.

to you the helpless commits himself;
you have been the helper of the fatherless.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 11:2 - for behold, the wicked bend the bow;
they have fitted their arrow to the string
to shoot in the dark at the upright in heart;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 11:3 - if the foundations are destroyed,
what can the righteous do?”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 11:7 - For the LORD is righteous;
he loves righteous deeds;
the upright shall behold his face.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 12:1 - To the choirmaster: according to The Sheminith.[fn] A Psalm of David.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 18:27 - For you save a humble people,
but the haughty eyes you bring down.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 18:28 - For it is you who light my lamp;
the LORD my God lightens my darkness.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 20:6 - Now I know that the LORD saves his anointed;
he will answer him from his holy heaven
with the saving might of his right hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 21:3 - For you meet him with rich blessings;
you set a crown of fine gold upon his head.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 21:6 - For you make him most blessed forever;[fn]
you make him glad with the joy of your presence.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 22:8 - “He trusts in the LORD; let him deliver him;
let him rescue him, for he delights in him!”
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 22:9 - Yet you are he who took me from the womb;
you made me trust you at my mother's breasts.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 22:11 - Be not far from me,
for trouble is near,
and there is none to help.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 22:16 - For dogs encompass me;
a company of evildoers encircles me;
they have pierced my hands and feet[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 22:24 - For he has not despised or abhorred
the affliction of the afflicted,
and he has not hidden his face from him,
but has heard, when he cried to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 22:28 - For kingship belongs to the LORD,

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 23:4 - Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,[fn]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,

for you are the God of my salvation;

and I have trusted in the LORD without wavering.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 26:3 - For your steadfast love is before my eyes,
and I walk in your faithfulness.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 27:5 - For he will hide me in his shelter
in the day of trouble;
he will conceal me under the cover of his tent;
he will lift me high upon a rock.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 27:10 - For my father and my mother have forsaken me,
but the LORD will take me in.

he will tear them down and build them up no more.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 28:6 - Blessed be the LORD!
For he has heard the voice of my pleas for mercy.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 30:1 - A Psalm of David. A song at the dedication of the temple.
I will extol you, O LORD, for you have drawn me up
and have not let my foes rejoice over me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 30:5 - For his anger is but for a moment,
and his favor is for a lifetime.[fn]
Weeping may tarry for the night,
but joy comes with the morning.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 31:3 - For you are my rock and my fortress;
and for your name's sake you lead me and guide me;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 31:4 - you take me out of the net they have hidden for me,
for you are my refuge.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 31:7 - I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love,
because you have seen my affliction;
you have known the distress of my soul,
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 31:9 - Be gracious to me, O LORD, for I am in distress;
my eye is wasted from grief;
my soul and my body also.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 31:10 - For my life is spent with sorrow,
and my years with sighing;
my strength fails because of my iniquity,
and my bones waste away.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 31:13 - For I hear the whispering of many—
terror on every side!—
as they scheme together against me,
as they plot to take my life.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 31:17 - O LORD, let me not be put to shame,
for I call upon you;
let the wicked be put to shame;
let them go silently to Sheol.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 31:21 - Blessed be the LORD,
for he has wondrously shown his steadfast love to me
when I was in a besieged city.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 31:23 - Love the LORD, all you his saints!
The LORD preserves the faithful
but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 32:3 - For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away
through my groaning all day long.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 32:4 - For day and night your hand was heavy upon me;
my strength was dried up[fn] as by the heat of summer. Selah
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 33:4 - For the word of the LORD is upright,

Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 34:9 - Oh, fear the LORD, you his saints,
for those who fear him have no lack!

but the LORD upholds the righteous.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 37:20 - But the wicked will perish;
the enemies of the LORD are like the glory of the pastures;
they vanish—like smoke they vanish away.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 37:22 - for those blessed by the LORD[fn] shall inherit the land,
but those cursed by him shall be cut off.

they are more than the hairs of my head;

because of the oppression of the enemy?
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 43:5 - Why are you cast down, O my soul,
and why are you in turmoil within me?
Hope in God; for I shall again praise him,

ruthless men seek my life;
they do not set God before themselves. Selah

and in anger they bear a grudge against me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 55:9 - Destroy, O Lord, divide their tongues;
for I see violence and strife in the city.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 55:12 - For it is not an enemy who taunts me—

then I could hide from him.

for “Who,” they think,[fn] “will hear us?”
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 59:9 - O my Strength, I will watch for you,
for you, O God, are my fortress.

because they have wronged me with falsehood;
as for me, I will meditate on your precepts.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:83 - For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke,
yet I have not forgotten your statutes.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:91 - By your appointment they stand this day,
for all things are your servants.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:92 - If your law had not been my delight,
I would have perished in my affliction.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:93 - I will never forget your precepts,
for by them you have given me life.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:94 - I am yours; save me,
for I have sought your precepts.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:98 - Your commandment makes me wiser than my enemies,
for it is ever with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:99 - I have more understanding than all my teachers,
for your testimonies are my meditation.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:100 - I understand more than the aged,[fn]
for I keep your precepts.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:102 - I do not turn aside from your rules,
for you have taught me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:104 - Through your precepts I get understanding;
therefore I hate every false way.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:111 - Your testimonies are my heritage forever,
for they are the joy of my heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:118 - You spurn all who go astray from your statutes,
for their cunning is in vain.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:131 - I open my mouth and pant,
because I long for your commandments.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:139 - My zeal consumes me,
because my foes forget your words.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:152 - Long have I known from your testimonies
that you have founded them forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:153 - Resh
Look on my affliction and deliver me,
for I do not forget your law.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:155 - Salvation is far from the wicked,
for they do not seek your statutes.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:158 - I look at the faithless with disgust,
because they do not keep your commands.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:159 - Consider how I love your precepts!
Give me life according to your steadfast love.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:168 - I keep your precepts and testimonies,
for all my ways are before you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:172 - My tongue will sing of your word,
for all your commandments are right.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:173 - Let your hand be ready to help me,
for I have chosen your precepts.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:176 - I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant,
for I do not forget your commandments.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 120:5 - Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech,
that I dwell among the tents of Kedar!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 122:5 - There thrones for judgment were set,
the thrones of the house of David.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 123:3 - Have mercy upon us, O LORD, have mercy upon us,
for we have had more than enough of contempt.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 124:1 - A Song of Ascents. Of David.
If it had not been the LORD who was on our side—
let Israel now say—
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 124:2 - if it had not been the LORD who was on our side
when people rose up against us,
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 125:3 - For the scepter of wickedness shall not rest
on the land allotted to the righteous,
lest the righteous stretch out
their hands to do wrong.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 130:4 - But with you there is forgiveness,
that you may be feared.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 130:7 - O Israel, hope in the LORD!
For with the LORD there is steadfast love,
and with him is plentiful redemption.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 132:13 - For the LORD has chosen Zion;
he has desired it for his dwelling place:
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 132:14 - “This is my resting place forever;
here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 133:3 - It is like the dew of Hermon,
which falls on the mountains of Zion!
For there the LORD has commanded the blessing,
life forevermore.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 135:3 - Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good;
sing to his name, for it is pleasant![fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 135:4 - For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself,
Israel as his own possession.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 135:5 - For I know that the LORD is great,
and that our Lord is above all gods.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 135:14 - For the LORD will vindicate his people
and have compassion on his servants.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:1 - Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good,
for his steadfast love endures forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:2 - Give thanks to the God of gods,
for his steadfast love endures forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:3 - Give thanks to the Lord of lords,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:4 - to him who alone does great wonders,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:5 - to him who by understanding made the heavens,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:6 - to him who spread out the earth above the waters,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:7 - to him who made the great lights,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:8 - the sun to rule over the day,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:9 - the moon and stars to rule over the night,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:10 - to him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:11 - and brought Israel out from among them,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:12 - with a strong hand and an outstretched arm,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:13 - to him who divided the Red Sea in two,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:14 - and made Israel pass through the midst of it,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:15 - but overthrew[fn] Pharaoh and his host in the Red Sea,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:16 - to him who led his people through the wilderness,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:17 - to him who struck down great kings,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:18 - and killed mighty kings,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:19 - Sihon, king of the Amorites,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:20 - and Og, king of Bashan,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:21 - and gave their land as a heritage,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:22 - a heritage to Israel his servant,
for his steadfast love endures forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:23 - It is he who remembered us in our low estate,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:24 - and rescued us from our foes,
for his steadfast love endures forever;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:25 - he who gives food to all flesh,
for his steadfast love endures forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 136:26 - Give thanks to the God of heaven,
for his steadfast love endures forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 137:3 - For there our captors
required of us songs,
and our tormentors, mirth, saying,
“Sing us one of the songs of Zion!”
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 138:1 - Of David.
I give you thanks, O LORD, with my whole heart;
before the gods I sing your praise;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 138:2 - I bow down toward your holy temple
and give thanks to your name for your steadfast love and your faithfulness,
for you have exalted above all things
your name and your word.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 138:4 - All the kings of the earth shall give you thanks, O LORD,
for they have heard the words of your mouth,
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 138:5 - and they shall sing of the ways of the LORD,
for great is the glory of the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 138:6 - For though the LORD is high, he regards the lowly,
but the haughty he knows from afar.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 139:4 - Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O LORD, you know it altogether.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 139:12 - even the darkness is not dark to you;
the night is bright as the day,
for darkness is as light with you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 139:13 - For you formed my inward parts;
you knitted me together in my mother's womb.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 139:14 - I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.[fn]
Wonderful are your works;
my soul knows it very well.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 139:20 - They speak against you with malicious intent;
your enemies take your name in vain.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 140:12 - I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
and will execute justice for the needy.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 141:5 - Let a righteous man strike me—it is a kindness;
let him rebuke me—it is oil for my head;
let my head not refuse it.
Yet my prayer is continually against their evil deeds.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 141:6 - When their judges are thrown over the cliff,[fn]
then they shall hear my words, for they are pleasant.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 141:8 - But my eyes are toward you, O GOD, my Lord;
in you I seek refuge; leave me not defenseless![fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 142:4 - Look to the right and see:
there is none who takes notice of me;
no refuge remains to me;
no one cares for my soul.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 142:6 - Attend to my cry,
for I am brought very low!
Deliver me from my persecutors,
for they are too strong for me!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 143:2 - Enter not into judgment with your servant,
for no one living is righteous before you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 143:3 - For the enemy has pursued my soul;
he has crushed my life to the ground;
he has made me sit in darkness like those long dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 143:8 - Let me hear in the morning of your steadfast love,
for in you I trust.
Make me know the way I should go,
for to you I lift up my soul.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 143:9 - Deliver me from my enemies, O LORD!
I have fled to you for refuge.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 143:10 - Teach me to do your will,
for you are my God!
Let your good Spirit lead me
on level ground!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 143:12 - And in your steadfast love you will cut off my enemies,
and you will destroy all the adversaries of my soul,
for I am your servant.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 144:3 - O LORD, what is man that you regard him,
or the son of man that you think of him?
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 147:1 - Praise the LORD!
For it is good to sing praises to our God;
for it is pleasant,[fn] and a song of praise is fitting.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 147:13 - For he strengthens the bars of your gates;
he blesses your children within you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 148:5 - Let them praise the name of the LORD!
For he commanded and they were created.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 148:13 - Let them praise the name of the LORD,
for his name alone is exalted;
his majesty is above earth and heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 149:4 - For the LORD takes pleasure in his people;
he adorns the humble with salvation.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:6 - For the LORD gives wisdom;
from his mouth come knowledge and understanding;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:21 - For the upright will inhabit the land,
and those with integrity will remain in it,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:16 - There are six things that the LORD hates,
seven that are an abomination to him:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:23 - For the commandment is a lamp and the teaching a light,
and the reproofs of discipline are the way of life,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:23 - till an arrow pierces its liver;
as a bird rushes into a snare;
he does not know that it will cost him his life.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:7 - for my mouth will utter truth;
wickedness is an abomination to my lips.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 9:18 - But he does not know that the dead[fn] are there,
that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 22:17 - Incline your ear, and hear the words of the wise,
and apply your heart to my knowledge,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 23:2 - and put a knife to your throat
if you are given to appetite.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 23:13 - Do not withhold discipline from a child;
if you strike him with a rod, he will not die.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 23:22 - Listen to your father who gave you life,
and do not despise your mother when she is old.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 24:12 - If you say, “Behold, we did not know this,”
does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
Does not he who keeps watch over your soul know it,
and will he not repay man according to his work?
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 24:18 - lest the LORD see it and be displeased,
and turn away his anger from him.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 26:19 - is the man who deceives his neighbor
and says, “I am only joking!”
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 27:24 - for riches do not last forever;
and does a crown endure to all generations?
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 28:22 - A stingy man[fn] hastens after wealth
and does not know that poverty will come upon him.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 29:20 - Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 31:18 - She perceives that her merchandise is profitable.
Her lamp does not go out at night.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:13 - And I applied my heart[fn] to seek and to search out by wisdom all that is done under heaven. It is an unhappy business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:17 - And I applied my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is but a striving after wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:18 - For in much wisdom is much vexation,
and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:10 - And whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I kept my heart from no pleasure, for my heart found pleasure in all my toil, and this was my reward for all my toil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:12 - So I turned to consider wisdom and madness and folly. For what can the man do who comes after the king? Only what has already been done.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:13 - Then I saw that there is more gain in wisdom than in folly, as there is more gain in light than in darkness.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:14 - The wise person has his eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. And yet I perceived that the same event happens to all of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:15 - Then I said in my heart, “What happens to the fool will happen to me also. Why then have I been so very wise?” And I said in my heart that this also is vanity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:16 - For of the wise as of the fool there is no enduring remembrance, seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. How the wise dies just like the fool!
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:17 - So I hated life, because what is done under the sun was grievous to me, for all is vanity and a striving after wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:18 - I hated all my toil in which I toil under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to the man who will come after me,
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:21 - because sometimes a person who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave everything to be enjoyed by someone who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:22 - What has a man from all the toil and striving of heart with which he toils beneath the sun?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:23 - For all his days are full of sorrow, and his work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:24 - There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment[fn] in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God,
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:25 - for apart from him[fn] who can eat or who can have enjoyment?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:26 - For to the one who pleases him God has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, but to the sinner he has given the business of gathering and collecting, only to give to one who pleases God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:12 - I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live;
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:14 - I perceived that whatever God does endures forever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it. God has done it, so that people fear before him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:17 - I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is a time for every matter and for every work.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:18 - I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:19 - For what happens to the children of man and what happens to the beasts is the same; as one dies, so dies the other. They all have the same breath, and man has no advantage over the beasts, for all is vanity.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:22 - So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his work, for that is his lot. Who can bring him to see what will be after him?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:4 - Then I saw that all toil and all skill in work come from a man's envy of his neighbor. This also is vanity[fn] and a striving after wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:10 - For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:14 - For he went from prison to the throne, though in his own kingdom he had been born poor.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:16 - There was no end of all the people, all of whom he led. Yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:1 - [fn] Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. To draw near to listen is better than to offer the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:2 - [fn] Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:3 - For a dream comes with much business, and a fool's voice with many words.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:4 - When you vow a vow to God, do not delay paying it, for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you vow.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:6 - Let not your mouth lead you[fn] into sin, and do not say before the messenger[fn] that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice and destroy the work of your hands?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:7 - For when dreams increase and words grow many, there is vanity;[fn] but[fn] God is the one you must fear.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:8 - If you see in a province the oppression of the poor and the violation of justice and righteousness, do not be amazed at the matter, for the high official is watched by a higher, and there are yet higher ones over them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:11 - When goods increase, they increase who eat them, and what advantage has their owner but to see them with his eyes?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:18 - Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment[fn] in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life that God has given him, for this is his lot.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:20 - For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:2 - a man to whom God gives wealth, possessions, and honor, so that he lacks nothing of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to enjoy them, but a stranger enjoys them. This is vanity;[fn] it is a grievous evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:4 - For it comes in vanity and goes in darkness, and in darkness its name is covered.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:8 - For what advantage has the wise man over the fool? And what does the poor man have who knows how to conduct himself before the living?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:11 - The more words, the more vanity, and what is the advantage to man?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:12 - For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his vain[fn] life, which he passes like a shadow? For who can tell man what will be after him under the sun?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:2 - It is better to go to the house of mourning
than to go to the house of feasting,
for this is the end of all mankind,
and the living will lay it to heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:3 - Sorrow is better than laughter,
for by sadness of face the heart is made glad.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:6 - For as the crackling of thorns under a pot,
so is the laughter of the fools;
this also is vanity.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:7 - Surely oppression drives the wise into madness,
and a bribe corrupts the heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:9 - Be not quick in your spirit to become angry,
for anger lodges in the heart[fn] of fools.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:10 - Say not, “Why were the former days better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:12 - For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money,
and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:13 - Consider the work of God:
who can make straight what he has made crooked?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:18 - It is good that you should take hold of this, and from that withhold not your hand, for the one who fears God shall come out from both of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:20 - Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:22 - Your heart knows that many times you yourself have cursed others.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:3 - Be not hasty to go from his presence. Do not take your stand in an evil cause, for he does whatever he pleases.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:6 - For there is a time and a way for everything, although man's trouble[fn] lies heavy on him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:7 - For he does not know what is to be, for who can tell him how it will be?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:10 - Then I saw the wicked buried. They used to go in and out of the holy place and were praised[fn] in the city where they had done such things. This also is vanity.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:11 - Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:12 - Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and prolongs his life, yet I know that it will be well with those who fear God, because they fear before him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:14 - There is a vanity that takes place on earth, that there are righteous people to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked, and there are wicked people to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:15 - And I commend joy, for man has nothing better under the sun but to eat and drink and be joyful, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of his life that God has given him under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:16 - When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on earth, how neither day nor night do one's eyes see sleep,
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:17 - then I saw all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. However much man may toil in seeking, he will not find it out. Even though a wise man claims to know, he cannot find it out.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:1 - But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God. Whether it is love or hate, man does not know; both are before him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:3 - This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that the same event happens to all. Also, the hearts of the children of man are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:4 - But he who is joined with all the living has hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:5 - For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing, and they have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:7 - Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:9 - Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your vain[fn] life that he has given you under the sun, because that is your portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:10 - Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might,[fn] for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:11 - Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:12 - For man does not know his time. Like fish that are taken in an evil net, and like birds that are caught in a snare, so the children of man are snared at an evil time, when it suddenly falls upon them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:4 - If the anger of the ruler rises against you, do not leave your place,
for calmness[fn] will lay great offenses to rest.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:20 - Even in your thoughts, do not curse the king,
nor in your bedroom curse the rich,
for a bird of the air will carry your voice,
or some winged creature tell the matter.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:1 - Cast your bread upon the waters,
for you will find it after many days.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:2 - Give a portion to seven, or even to eight,
for you know not what disaster may happen on earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:6 - In the morning sow your seed, and at evening withhold not your hand, for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:8 - So if a person lives many years, let him rejoice in them all; but let him remember that the days of darkness will be many. All that comes is vanity.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:9 - Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, and let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and the sight of your eyes. But know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:10 - Remove vexation from your heart, and put away pain[fn] from your body, for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:3 - in the day when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men are bent, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those who look through the windows are dimmed,
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:5 - they are afraid also of what is high, and terrors are in the way; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags itself along,[fn] and desire fails, because man is going to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets—
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:9 - Besides being wise, the Preacher also taught the people knowledge, weighing and studying and arranging many proverbs with great care.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:13 - The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:14 - For God will bring every deed into judgment, with[fn] every secret thing, whether good or evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:2 - She[fn]
Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth!
For your love is better than wine;
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:6 - Do not gaze at me because I am dark,
because the sun has looked upon me.
My mother's sons were angry with me;
