Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:14 - “Your [fn]descendants will also be like the dust of the earth, and you will [fn]spread out to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and in you and in your [fn]descendants shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:15 - “Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have [fn]promised you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:16 - Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:20 - Then Jacob made a vow, saying, “If God will be with me and will keep me on this journey that I [fn]take, and will give me [fn]food to eat and garments to wear,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:2 - He looked, and [fn]saw a well in the field, and behold, three flocks of sheep were lying there beside it, for from that well they watered the flocks. Now the stone on the mouth of the well was large.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:26 - But Laban said, “It is not [fn]the practice in our place to [fn]marry off the younger before the firstborn.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:34 - She conceived again and bore a son and said, “Now this time my husband will become [fn]attached to me, because I have borne him three sons.” Therefore he was named Levi.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:11 - Then Leah said,[fn]How fortunate!” So she named him [fn]Gad.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:14 - Now in the days of wheat harvest Reuben went and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son's mandrakes.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:20 - Then Leah said, “God has endowed me with a good gift; now my husband [fn]will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:32 - let me pass through your entire flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted sheep and every black [fn]one among the lambs and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and such shall be my wages.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:33 - “So my [fn]honesty will answer for me later, when you come concerning my [fn]wages. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the lambs, if found with me, will be considered stolen.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:35 - So he removed on that day the striped and spotted male goats and all the speckled and spotted female goats, every one with white in it, and all the black ones among the sheep, and gave them into the [fn]care of his sons.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:38 - He set the rods which he had peeled in front of the flocks in the gutters, even in the watering troughs, where the flocks came to drink; and they [fn]mated when they came to drink.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:40 - Jacob separated the lambs, and [fn]made the flocks face toward the striped and all the black in the flock of Laban; and he put his own herds apart, and did not put them with Laban's flock.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:41 - Moreover, whenever the [fn]stronger of the flock [fn]were mating, Jacob would place the rods in the sight of the flock in the gutters, so that they might [fn]mate by the rods;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:6 - “You know that I have served your father with all my strength.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:10 - “And it came about at the time when the flock were [fn]mating that I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which were [fn]mating were striped, speckled, and mottled.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:13 - ‘I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you made a vow to Me; now arise, [fn]leave this land, and return to the land of your birth.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:14 - Rachel and Leah said to him, “Do we still have any portion or inheritance in our father's house?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:18 - and he drove away all his livestock and all his property which he had gathered, his acquired livestock which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, to go to the land of Canaan to his father Isaac.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:23 - then he took his [fn]kinsmen with him and pursued him a distance of seven days' journey, and he overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:25 - Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban with his [fn]kinsmen camped in the hill country of Gilead.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:33 - So Laban went into Jacob's tent and into Leah's tent and into the tent of the two maids, but he did not find them. Then he went out of Leah's tent and entered Rachel's tent.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:35 - She said to her father, “Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise before you, for the manner of women is upon me.” So he searched but did not find the [fn]household idols.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:41 - “These twenty years I have been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flock, and you changed my wages ten times.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:54 - Then Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his [fn]kinsmen to [fn]the meal; and they ate [fn]the meal and spent the night on the mountain.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:10 - [fn]I am unworthy of all the lovingkindness and of all the [fn]faithfulness which You have shown to Your servant; for with my staff only I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two companies.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:19 - Then he commanded also the second and the third, and all those who followed the droves, saying, “After this manner you shall speak to Esau when you find him;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:20 - and you shall say, ‘Behold, your servant Jacob also is behind us.'” For he said, “I will appease him with the present that goes before me. Then afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:21 - So the present passed on before him, while he himself spent that night in the camp.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:25 - When he saw that he had not prevailed against him, he touched the socket of his thigh; so the socket of Jacob's thigh was dislocated while he wrestled with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:2 - He put the maids and their children [fn]in front, and Leah and her children [fn]next, and Rachel and Joseph [fn]last.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:14 - “Please let my lord pass on before his servant, and I will proceed at my leisure, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord at Seir.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:16 - So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:18 - Now Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram, and camped before the city.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:5 - Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob kept silent until they came in.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:7 - Now the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry because he had done a [fn]disgraceful thing in Israel [fn]by lying with Jacob's daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:10 - “Thus you shall [fn]live with us, and the land shall be open before you; [fn]live and trade in it and acquire property in it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:15 - “Only on this condition will we consent to you: if you will become like us, in that every male of you be circumcised,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:19 - The young man did not delay to do the thing, because he was delighted with Jacob's daughter. Now he was more respected than all the household of his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:22 - “Only on this condition will the men consent to us to [fn]live with us, to become one people: that every male among us be circumcised as they are circumcised.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:23 - “Will not their livestock and their property and all their animals be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will [fn]live with us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:25 - Now it came about on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came upon the city unawares, and killed every male.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:26 - They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the edge of the sword, and took Dinah from Shechem's house, and went forth.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:27 - Jacob's sons came upon the slain and looted the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:28 - They took their flocks and their herds and their donkeys, and that which was in the city and that which was in the field;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:29 - and they captured and looted all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives, even all that was in the houses.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:30 - Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble on me by making me odious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and [fn]my men being few in number, they will gather together against me and [fn]attack me and I will be destroyed, I and my household.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:1 - Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel and [fn]live there, and make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled [fn]from your brother Esau.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:3 - and let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me [fn]wherever I have gone.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:4 - So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods which [fn]they had and the rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the [fn]oak which was near Shechem.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:6 - So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:7 - He built an altar there, and called the place [fn]El-bethel, because there God had revealed Himself to him when he fled [fn]from his brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:9 - Then God appeared to Jacob again when he came from Paddan-aram, and He blessed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:14 - Jacob set up a pillar in the place where He had spoken with him, a pillar of stone, and he poured out a drink offering on it; he also poured oil on it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:15 - So Jacob named the place where God had spoken with him, [fn]Bethel.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:16 - Then they journeyed from Bethel; and when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and she [fn]suffered severe labor.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:17 - When she was in severe labor the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for now you have another son.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:18 - It came about as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him [fn]Ben-oni; but his father called him [fn]Benjamin.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:19 - So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:22 - It came about while Israel was dwelling in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now there were twelve sons of Jacob
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:26 - and the sons of Zilpah, Leah's maid: Gad and Asher. These are the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:27 - Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre of Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:5 - and Oholibamah bore Jeush and Jalam and Korah. These are the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:6 - Then Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters and all [fn]his household, and his livestock and all his cattle and all his goods which he had acquired in the land of Canaan, and went to another land away from his brother Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:8 - So Esau lived in the hill country of Seir; Esau is Edom.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:9 - These then are the records of the generations of Esau the father of [fn]the Edomites in the hill country of Seir.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:16 - chief Korah, chief Gatam, chief Amalek. These are the chiefs [fn]descended from Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Adah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:17 - These are the sons of Reuel, Esau's son: chief Nahath, chief Zerah, chief Shammah, chief Mizzah. These are the chiefs [fn]descended from Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Esau's wife Basemath.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:21 - and Dishon and Ezer and Dishan. These are the chiefs [fn]descended from the Horites, the sons of Seir in the land of Edom.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:24 - These are the sons of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah—he is the Anah who found the hot springs in the wilderness when he was pasturing the donkeys of his father Zibeon.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:30 - chief Dishon, chief Ezer, chief Dishan. These are the chiefs [fn]descended from the Horites, according to their various chiefs in the land of Seir.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:31 - Now these are the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the sons of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:32 - [fn]Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom, and the name of his city was Dinhabah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:35 - Then Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who [fn]defeated Midian in the field of Moab, became king in his place; and the name of his city was Avith.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:40 - Now these are the names of the chiefs [fn]descended from Esau, according to their families and their localities, by their names: chief Timna, chief [fn]Alvah, chief Jetheth,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:43 - chief Magdiel, chief Iram. These are the chiefs of Edom (that is, Esau, the father of [fn]the Edomites), according to their habitations in the land of their possession.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:1 - Now Jacob lived in the land [fn]where his father had sojourned, in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:7 - for behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and lo, my sheaf rose up and also stood erect; and behold, your sheaves gathered around and bowed down to my sheaf.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:13 - Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers pasturing the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them.” And he said to him, “[fn]I will go.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:15 - A man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field; and the man asked him, “[fn]What are you looking for?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:17 - Then the man said, “They have moved from here; for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.'” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them at Dothan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:22 - Reuben further said to them, “Shed no blood. Throw him into this pit that is in the wilderness, but do not lay hands on him”—that he might rescue him out of their hands, to restore him to his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:29 - Now Reuben returned to the pit, and behold, Joseph was not in the pit; so he tore his garments.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:1 - And it came about at that time, that Judah [fn]departed from his brothers and [fn]visited a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:5 - She bore still another son and named him Shelah; and it was at Chezib [fn]that she bore him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:11 - Then Judah said to his daughter-in-law Tamar, “Remain a widow in your father's house until my son Shelah grows up”; for he [fn]thought,I am afraid that he too may die like his brothers.” So Tamar went and lived in her father's house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:14 - So she [fn]removed her widow's garments and covered herself with a [fn]veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gateway of [fn]Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and she had not been given to him as a wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:18 - He said, “What pledge shall I give you?” And she said, “Your seal and your cord, and your staff that is in your hand.” So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:20 - When Judah sent the [fn]young goat by his friend the Adullamite, to receive the pledge from the woman's hand, he did not find her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:21 - He asked the men of her place, saying, “Where is the temple prostitute who was by the road at Enaim?” But they said, “There has been no temple prostitute here.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:24 - Now it was about three months later that Judah was informed,[fn]Your daughter-in-law Tamar has played the harlot, and behold, she is also with child by harlotry.” Then Judah said, “Bring her out and let her be burned!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:25 - It was while she was being brought out that she sent to her father-in-law, saying, “I am with child by the man to whom these things belong.” And she said, “Please examine and see, whose signet ring and cords and staff are these?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:27 - It came about at the time she was giving birth, that behold, there were twins in her womb.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:28 - Moreover, it took place while she was giving birth, one put out a hand, and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand, saying, “This one came out first.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:2 - The LORD was with Joseph, so he became a [fn]successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:3 - Now his master saw that the LORD was with him and how the LORD caused all that he did to prosper in his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:5 - It came about that from the time he made him overseer in his house and over all that he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house on account of Joseph; thus the LORD'S blessing was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:8 - But he refused and said to his master's wife, “Behold, with me here, my master [fn]does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has put all that he owns in my [fn]charge.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:9 - [fn]There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil and sin against God?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:11 - Now it happened [fn]one day that he went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the household was there inside.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:12 - She caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me!” And he left his garment in her hand and fled, and went outside.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:13 - [fn]When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:14 - she called to the men of her household and said to them, “See, he has brought in a [fn]Hebrew to us to make sport of us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I [fn]screamed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:15 - “When he heard that I raised my voice and [fn]screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:20 - So Joseph's master took him and put him into the jail, the place where the king's prisoners were confined; and he was there in the jail.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:22 - The chief jailer committed to Joseph's [fn]charge all the prisoners who were in the jail; so that whatever was done there, he was [fn]responsible for it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:23 - The chief jailer did not supervise anything under [fn]Joseph's charge because the LORD was with him; and whatever he did, the LORD made to prosper.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:3 - So he put them in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, in the jail, the same place where Joseph was imprisoned.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:4 - The captain of the bodyguard put Joseph in charge of them, and he [fn]took care of them; and they were in confinement for [fn]some time.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:5 - Then the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, each man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:7 - He asked Pharaoh's officials who were with him in confinement in his master's house,[fn]Why are your faces so sad today?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:9 - So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, “In my dream, [fn]behold, there was a vine in front of me;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:10 - and on the vine were three branches. And as it was budding, its blossoms came out, and its clusters produced ripe grapes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:11 - “Now Pharaoh's cup was in my hand; so I took the grapes and squeezed them into Pharaoh's cup, and I put the cup into Pharaoh's [fn]hand.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:14 - “Only [fn]keep me in mind when it goes well with you, and please do me a kindness [fn]by mentioning me to Pharaoh and get me out of this house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:17 - and in the top basket there were some of all [fn]sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:20 - Thus it came about on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:2 - And lo, from the Nile there came up seven cows, sleek and [fn]fat; and they grazed in the marsh grass.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:5 - He fell asleep and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven ears of grain came up on a single stalk, plump and good.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:10 - “Pharaoh was furious with his servants, and he put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, both me and the chief baker.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:11 - “We had a dream [fn]on the same night, [fn]he and I; each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:17 - So Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, “In my dream, behold, I was standing on the bank of the Nile;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:18 - and behold, seven cows, [fn]fat and sleek came up out of the Nile, and they grazed in the marsh grass.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:19 - “Lo, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and [fn]gaunt, such as I had never seen for [fn]ugliness in all the land of Egypt;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:22 - “I saw also in my dream, and behold, seven ears, full and good, came up on a single stalk;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:29 - “Behold, seven years of great abundance are coming in all the land of Egypt;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:30 - and after them seven years of famine will [fn]come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will [fn]ravage the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:35 - “Then let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming, and store up the grain for food in the cities under Pharaoh's authority, and let them guard it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:36 - “Let the food become as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land will not perish during the famine.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:38 - Then Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, in whom is a divine spirit?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:47 - During the seven years of plenty the land brought forth [fn]abundantly.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:48 - So he gathered all the food of these seven years which occurred in the land of Egypt and placed the food in the cities; he placed in every city the food from its own surrounding fields.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:52 - He named the second [fn]Ephraim, “For,” he said, “God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:53 - When the seven years of plenty which had been in the land of Egypt came to an end,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:54 - and the seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said, then there was famine in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:57 - The people of all the earth came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:1 - Now Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, and Jacob said to his sons, “Why are you staring at one another?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:2 - He said, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down there and buy some for us [fn]from that place, so that we may live and not die.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:5 - So the sons of Israel came to buy grain among those who were coming, for the famine was in the land of Canaan also.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:13 - But they said, “Your servants are twelve brothers in all, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and behold, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no longer alive.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:15 - by this you will be tested: by the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go from this place unless your youngest brother comes here!
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:17 - So he put them all together in prison for three days.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:19 - if you are honest men, let one of your brothers be confined in [fn]your prison; but as for the rest of you, go, carry grain for the famine of your households,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:21 - Then they said to one another, “Truly we are guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul when he pleaded with us, yet we would not listen; therefore this distress has come upon us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:28 - Then he said to his brothers, “My money has been returned, and behold, it is even in my sack.” And their hearts [fn]sank, and they turned [fn]trembling to one another, saying, “What is this that God has done to us?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:30 - “The man, the lord of the land, spoke harshly with us, and took us for spies of the country.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:32 - ‘We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no longer alive, and the youngest is with our father today in the land of Canaan.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:33 - “The man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I will know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me and take grain for the famine of your households, and go.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:35 - Now it came about as they were emptying their sacks, that behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack; and when they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were dismayed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:38 - But [fn]Jacob said, “My son shall not go down with you; for his brother is dead, and he alone is left. If harm should befall him on the journey [fn]you are taking, then you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:11 - Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: take some of the best products of the land in your [fn]bags, and carry down to the man as a present, a little [fn]balm and a little honey, [fn]aromatic gum and [fn]myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:12 - “Take double the money in your hand, and take back in your hand the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks; perhaps it was a mistake.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:15 - So the men took this present, and they took double the money in their hand, and Benjamin; then they arose and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:18 - Now the men were afraid, because they were brought to Joseph's house; and they said,It is because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time that we are being brought in, that he may [fn]seek occasion against us and fall upon us, and take us for slaves with our donkeys.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:19 - So they came near to Joseph's house steward, and spoke to him at the entrance of the house,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:21 - and it came about when we came to the lodging place, that we opened our sacks, and behold, each man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in [fn]full. So we have brought it back in our hand.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:12 - The sons of Judah: Er and Onan and Shelah and Perez and Zerah (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan). And the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:20 - Now to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera, priest of On, bore to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:27 - and the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt were [fn]two; all the persons of the house of Jacob, who came to Egypt, were seventy.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:31 - Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household, “I will go up and tell Pharaoh, and will say to him, ‘My brothers and my father's household, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:34 - you shall say, ‘Your servants have been [fn]keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,' that you may [fn]live in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is [fn]loathsome to the Egyptians.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:1 - Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, “My father and my brothers and their flocks and their herds and all that they have, have come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:4 - They said to Pharaoh, “We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants' flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now, therefore, please let your servants [fn]live in the land of Goshen.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:5 - Then Pharaoh said to [fn]Joseph, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:6 - “The land of Egypt is [fn]at your disposal; [fn]settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land, let them [fn]live in the land of Goshen; and if you know any capable men among them, then [fn]put them in charge of my livestock.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:11 - So Joseph [fn]settled his father and his brothers and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had ordered.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:22 - Only the land of the priests he did not buy, for the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh, and they [fn]lived off the allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore, they did not sell their land.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:3 - Then Jacob said to Joseph,[fn]God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:5 - “Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:6 - “Let my soul not enter into their council;

Because in their anger they slew [fn]men,
And in their self-will they lamed [fn]oxen.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:7 - “Cursed be their anger, for it is fierce;
And their wrath, for it is cruel.
I will [fn]disperse them in Jacob,

And his donkey's colt to the choice vine;
He washes his garments in wine,

As one of the tribes of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:21 - “Naphtali is a doe let loose,

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:29 - Then he charged them and said to them, “I am about to be gathered to my people; bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:30 - in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought along with the field from Ephron the Hittite for a [fn]burial site.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:32 - the field and the cave that is in it, purchased from the sons of Heth.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:5 - ‘My father made me swear, saying, “Behold, I am about to die; in my grave which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there you shall bury me.” Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father; then I will return.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:8 - and all the household of Joseph and his brothers and his father's household; they left only their little ones and their flocks and their herds in the land of Goshen.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:11 - Now when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at [fn]the threshing floor of Atad, they said, “This is a [fn]grievous [fn]mourning for the Egyptians.” Therefore it was named [fn]Abel-mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:13 - for his sons carried him to the land of Canaan and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah before Mamre, which Abraham had bought along with the field for a [fn]burial site from Ephron the Hittite.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:22 - Now Joseph stayed in Egypt, he and his father's household, and Joseph lived one hundred and ten years.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:25 - Then Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, “God will surely [fn]take care of you, and you shall carry my bones up from here.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:15 - When Pharaoh heard of this matter, he tried to kill Moses. But Moses fled from the presence of Pharaoh and [fn]settled in the land of Midian, and he sat down by a well.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:4 - But the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand and grasp it by its tail”—so he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his [fn]hand
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:14 - Then the anger of the LORD burned against Moses, and He said, “Is there not your brother Aaron the Levite? I know that [fn]he speaks fluently. And moreover, behold, he is coming out to meet you; when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:17 - “You shall take in your hand this staff, with which you shall perform the signs.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:18 - Then Moses departed and returned to [fn]Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, “Please, let me go, that I may return to my brethren who are in Egypt, and see if they are still alive.” And Jethro said to Moses, “Go in peace.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:19 - Now the LORD said to Moses in Midian, “Go [fn]back to Egypt, for all the men who were seeking your life are dead.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:20 - So Moses took his wife and his sons and mounted them on a donkey, and returned to the land of Egypt. Moses also took the staff of God in his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:21 - The LORD said to Moses, “When you go [fn]back to Egypt see that you perform before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have put in your [fn]power; but I will harden his heart so that he will not let the people go.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:24 - Now it came about at the lodging place on the way that the LORD met him and sought to put him to death.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 4:27 - Now the LORD said to Aaron, “Go to meet Moses in the wilderness.” So he went and met him at the mountain of God and kissed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 5:1 - And afterward Moses and Aaron came and said to Pharaoh, “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ‘Let My people go that they may celebrate a feast to Me in the wilderness.'”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:19 - Then the LORD said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their [fn]streams, and over their pools, and over all their reservoirs of water, that they may become blood; and there will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:20 - So Moses and Aaron did even as the LORD had commanded. And he lifted up [fn]the staff and struck the water that was in the Nile, in the sight of Pharaoh and in the sight of his servants, and all the water that was in the Nile was turned to blood.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 7:21 - The fish that were in the Nile died, and the Nile [fn]became foul, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. And the blood was through all the land of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:3 - “The Nile will swarm with frogs, which will come up and go into your house and into your bedroom and on your bed, and into the houses of your servants and on your people, and into your ovens and into your kneading bowls.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:9 - Moses said to Pharaoh,[fn]The honor is yours to tell me: when shall I entreat for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs be [fn]destroyed from you and your houses, that they may be left only in the Nile?”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:11 - “The frogs will depart from you and your houses and your servants and your people; they will be left only in the Nile.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:16 - Then the LORD said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become [fn]gnats through all the land of Egypt.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:17 - They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were [fn]gnats on man and beast. All the dust of the earth became [fn]gnats through all the land of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:18 - The [fn]magicians tried with their secret arts to bring forth [fn]gnats, but they could not; so there were [fn]gnats on man and beast.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:20 - Now the LORD said to Moses, “Rise early in the morning and present yourself before Pharaoh, [fn]as he comes out to the water, and say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD, “Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:22 - “But on that day I will set apart the land of Goshen, where My people are [fn]living, so that no swarms of flies will be there, in order that you may know that [fn]I, the LORD, am in the midst of the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:23 - “I will [fn]put a division between My people and your people. Tomorrow this sign will occur.”'”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:25 - Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God within the land.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:28 - Pharaoh said, “I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. Make supplication for me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:3 - behold, the hand of the LORD [fn]will come with a very severe pestilence on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:4 - “But the LORD will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, so that nothing will die of all that belongs to the sons of Israel.”'”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:5 - The LORD set a definite time, saying, “Tomorrow the LORD will do this thing in the land.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:9 - “It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and will become boils breaking out with sores on man and beast through all the land of Egypt.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:10 - So they took soot from a kiln, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses threw it toward the sky, and it became boils breaking out with sores on man and beast.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:11 - The [fn]magicians could not stand before Moses because of the boils, for the boils were on the magicians [fn]as well as on all the Egyptians.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:14 - “For this time I will send all My plagues [fn]on you and your servants and your people, so that you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:16 - “But, indeed, for this reason I have allowed you to [fn]remain, in order to show you My power and in order to proclaim My name through all the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:18 - “Behold, about this time tomorrow, I will [fn]send a very heavy hail, such as has not been seen in Egypt from the day it was founded [fn]until now.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:19 - “Now therefore send, bring your livestock and whatever you have in the field to safety. Every man and beast that is found in the field and is not brought home, when the hail comes down on them, will die.”'”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:21 - but he who [fn]paid no regard to the word of the LORD [fn]left his servants and his livestock in the field.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:24 - So there was hail, and fire [fn]flashing continually in the midst of the hail, very severe, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:25 - The hail struck all that was in the field through all the land of Egypt, both man and beast; the hail also struck every plant of the field and shattered every tree of the field.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:26 - Only in the land of Goshen, where the sons of Israel were, there was no hail.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:2 - and that you may tell in the [fn]hearing of your son, and of your grandson, how I made a mockery of the Egyptians and how I [fn]performed My signs among them, that you may know that I am the LORD.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:6 - ‘Then your houses shall be filled and the houses of all your servants and the houses of all the Egyptians, something which neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen, from the day that they [fn]came upon the earth until this day.'” And he turned and went out from Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:15 - For they covered the surface of the whole land, so that the land was darkened; and they ate every plant of the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Thus nothing green was left on tree or plant of the field through all the land of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:19 - So the LORD shifted the wind to a very strong west wind which took up the locusts and drove them into the [fn]Red Sea; not one locust was left in all the territory of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:23 - They did not see one another, nor did anyone rise from his place for three days, but all the sons of Israel had light in their dwellings.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 11:5 - and all the firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of the Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the slave girl who is behind the millstones; all the firstborn of the cattle as well.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 11:7 - ‘But against any of the sons of Israel a dog will not even [fn]bark, whether against man or beast, that you may [fn]understand how the LORD makes a distinction between Egypt and Israel.'
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 11:9 - Then the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh will not listen to you, so that My wonders will be multiplied in the land of Egypt.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 11:10 - Moses and Aaron performed all these wonders before Pharaoh; yet the LORD [fn]hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the sons of Israel go out of his land.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:1 - Now the LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the land of [fn]Egypt,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:2 - “This month shall be the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:4 - ‘Now if the household is too small for a [fn]lamb, then he and his neighbor nearest to his house are to take one according to the [fn]number of persons in them; according to [fn]what each man should eat, you are to [fn]divide the lamb.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:10 - ‘And you shall not leave any of it over until morning, but whatever is left of it until morning, you shall burn with fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:11 - ‘Now you shall eat it in this manner: with your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste—it is the LORD'S Passover.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:12 - ‘For I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments—I am the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:13 - ‘The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you [fn]live; and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you [fn]to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:16 - ‘On the first day you shall have a holy assembly, and another holy assembly on the seventh day; no work at all shall be done on them, except what must be eaten [fn]by every person, that alone may be [fn]prepared by you.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:17 - ‘You shall also observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as a [fn]permanent ordinance.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:19 - ‘Seven days there shall be no leaven found in your houses; for whoever eats what is leavened, that [fn]person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is an alien or a native of the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:20 - ‘You shall not eat anything leavened; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:27 - you shall say, ‘It is a Passover sacrifice to the LORD [fn]who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt when He smote the Egyptians, but [fn]spared our homes.'” And the people bowed low and worshiped.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:29 - Now it came about at midnight that the LORD struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of cattle.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:30 - Pharaoh arose in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians, and there was a great cry in Egypt, for there was no home where there was not someone dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:34 - So the people took their dough before it was leavened, with their kneading bowls bound up in the clothes on their shoulders.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:40 - Now the time [fn]that the sons of Israel lived in Egypt was four hundred and thirty years.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:46 - “It is to be eaten in a single house; you are not to bring forth any of the flesh outside of the house, nor are you to break any bone of it.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:11 - and you will hear what they say; and afterward your hands will be strengthened that you may go down against the camp.” So he went with Purah his servant down to the [fn]outposts of the army that was in the camp.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:12 - Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand on the seashore.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:13 - When Gideon came, behold, a man was relating a dream to his friend. And he said, “Behold, I [fn]had a dream; [fn]a loaf of barley bread was tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came to the tent and struck it so that it fell, and turned it [fn]upside down so that the tent lay flat.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:22 - When they blew 300 trumpets, the LORD set the sword of one against another even throughout the whole [fn]army; and the [fn]army fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the edge of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:24 - Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, “Come down [fn]against Midian and take the waters before them, as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan.” So all the men of Ephraim were summoned and they took the waters as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 7:25 - They captured the two leaders of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb, and they killed Oreb at the rock of Oreb, and they killed Zeeb at the wine press of Zeeb, while they pursued Midian; and they brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon from across the Jordan.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 8:3 - “God has given the leaders of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb into your hands; and what was I able to do in comparison with you?” Then their [fn]anger toward him subsided when he said [fn]that.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 8:7 - Gideon said,[fn]All right, when the LORD has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hand, then I will [fn]thrash your [fn]bodies with the thorns of the wilderness and with briers.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 8:22 - Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, “Rule over us, both you and your son, also your son's son, for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian.”

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 9:49 - All the people also cut down each one his branch and followed Abimelech, and put them on the inner chamber and set the inner chamber on fire over those inside, so that all the men of the tower of Shechem also died, about a thousand men and women.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 11:16 - ‘For when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness to the [fn]Red Sea and came to Kadesh,
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 11:17 - then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, “Please let us pass through your land,” but the king of Edom would not listen. And they also sent to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained at Kadesh.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 11:18 - ‘Then they went through the wilderness and around the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came to the east side of the land of Moab, and they camped beyond the Arnon; but they did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:5 - So David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I ought to sit down to eat with the king. But let me go, that I may hide myself in the field until the third evening.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:26 - Nevertheless Saul did not speak anything that day, for he thought, “It is an accident, he is not clean, surely he is not clean.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:29 - for he said, ‘Please [fn]let me go, since our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to attend.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:34 - Then Jonathan arose from the table in fierce anger, and did not eat food on the second day of the new moon, for he was grieved over David because his father had dishonored him.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:15 - “Did I just begin to inquire of God for him today? Far be it from me! Do not let the king impute anything to his servant or to any of the household of my father, for your servant knows nothing [fn]at all of this whole affair.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:18 - Then the king said to Doeg, “You turn around and [fn]attack the priests.” And Doeg the Edomite turned around and [fn]attacked the priests, and he killed that day eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:19 - And he struck Nob the city of the priests with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and infants; also oxen, donkeys, and sheep he struck with the edge of the sword.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:2 - So David inquired of the LORD, saying, “Shall I go and [fn]attack these Philistines?” And the LORD said to David, “Go and [fn]attack the Philistines and deliver Keilah.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:3 - But David's men said to him, “Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the ranks of the Philistines?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:5 - So David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines; and he led away their livestock and struck them with a great slaughter. Thus David delivered the inhabitants of Keilah.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:6 - Now it came about, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David at Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:14 - David stayed in the wilderness in the strongholds, and remained in the hill country in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:16 - And Jonathan, Saul's son, arose and went to David at Horesh, and [fn]encouraged him in God.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:19 - Then Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is David not hiding with us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah, which is on the [fn]south of [fn]Jeshimon?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:22 - “Go now, make more sure, and investigate and see his place where his [fn]haunt is, and who has seen him there; for I am told that he is very cunning.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:23 - “So look, and learn about all the hiding places where he hides himself and return to me with certainty, and I will go with you; and if he is in the land, I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:24 - Then they arose and went to Ziph before Saul. Now David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah to the [fn]south of [fn]Jeshimon.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:25 - When Saul and his men went to seek him, they told David, and he came down to the rock and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard it, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:4 - The men of David said to him, “Behold, this is the day of which the LORD said to you, ‘Behold; I am about to give your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it seems good [fn]to you.'” Then David arose and cut off the edge of Saul's robe secretly.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:7 - David [fn]persuaded his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. And Saul arose, [fn]left the cave, and went on his way.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:10 - “Behold, this day your eyes have seen that the LORD had given you today into my hand in the cave, and some said to kill you, but my eye had pity on you; and I said, ‘I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD'S anointed.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:11 - “Now, my father, see! Indeed, see the edge of your robe in my hand! For in that I cut off the edge of your robe and did not kill you, know and perceive that there is no evil or [fn]rebellion in my hands, and I have not sinned against you, though you are lying in wait for my life to take it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:19 - “For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away [fn]safely? May the LORD therefore reward you with good in return for what you have done to me this day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:20 - “Now, behold, I know that you will surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your hand.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:21 - “So now swear to me by the LORD that you will not cut off my [fn]descendants after me and that you will not destroy my name from my father's household.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:1 - Then Samuel died; and all Israel gathered together and mourned for him, and buried him at his house in Ramah. And David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:2 - Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel; and the man was very [fn]rich, and he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. And it came about while he was shearing his sheep in Carmel
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:3 - (now the man's name was Nabal, and his wife's name was Abigail. And the woman was [fn]intelligent and beautiful in appearance, but the man was harsh and evil in his dealings, and he was a Calebite),
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:4 - that David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:7 - ‘Now I have heard that you have shearers; now your shepherds have been with us and we have not insulted them, nor have they missed anything all the days 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 have come on a [fn]festive day. Please give whatever you find at hand to your servants and to your son David.'”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:9 - When David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all these words in David's name; then they waited.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:15 - “Yet the men were very good to us, and we were not insulted, nor did we miss anything [fn]as long as we went about with them, while we were in the fields.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:20 - It came about as she was riding on her donkey and coming down by the hidden part of the mountain, that behold, David and his men were coming down toward her; so she met them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:21 - Now David had said, “Surely in vain I have guarded all that this man has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him; and he has returned me evil for good.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:24 - She fell at his feet and said, “On me [fn]alone, my lord, be the blame. And please let your maidservant speak [fn]to you, and listen to the words of your maidservant.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:28 - “Please forgive the transgression of your maidservant; for the LORD will certainly make for my lord an enduring house, because my lord is fighting the battles of the LORD, and evil will not be found in you all your days.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:29 - “Should anyone rise up to pursue you and to seek your [fn]life, then the [fn]life of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of the living with the LORD your God; but the [fn]lives of your enemies He will sling out [fn]as from the hollow of a sling.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:32 - Then David said to Abigail, “Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:33 - and blessed be your discernment, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from [fn]bloodshed and from [fn]avenging myself by my own hand.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:36 - Then Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; so she did not tell him anything [fn]at all until the morning light.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:37 - But in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him so that he became as a stone.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:1 - Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is not David hiding on the hill of Hachilah, which is before [fn]Jeshimon?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:2 - So Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having with him three thousand chosen men of Israel, to search for David in the wilderness of Ziph.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:3 - Saul camped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before [fn]Jeshimon, beside the road, and David was staying in the wilderness. When he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:5 - David then arose and came to the place where Saul had camped. And David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army; and Saul was lying in the circle of the camp, and the people were camped around him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:7 - So David and Abishai came to the people by night, and behold, Saul lay sleeping inside the circle of the camp with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people were lying around him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:15 - So David said to Abner, “Are you not a man? And who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people came to destroy the king your lord.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:18 - He also said, “Why then is my lord pursuing his servant? For what have I done? Or what evil is in my hand?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:19 - “Now therefore, please let my lord the king listen to the words of his servant. If the LORD has stirred you up against me, let Him [fn]accept an offering; but if it is [fn]men, cursed are they before the LORD, for they have driven me out today so that I would have no attachment with the inheritance of the LORD, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:20 - “Now then, do not let my blood fall to the ground away from the presence of the LORD; for the king of Israel has come out to search for a single flea, just as one hunts a partridge in the mountains.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:21 - Then Saul said, “I have sinned. Return, my son David, for I will not harm you again because my life was precious in your sight this day. Behold, I have played the fool and have committed a serious error.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:24 - “Now behold, as your life was highly valued in my sight this day, so may my life be highly valued in the sight of the LORD, and may He deliver me from all distress.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:1 - Then David said [fn]to himself, “Now I will perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than [fn]to escape into the land of the Philistines. Saul then will despair of searching for me anymore in all the territory of Israel, and I will escape from his hand.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:3 - And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's [fn]widow.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:5 - Then David said to Achish, “If now I have found favor in your sight, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may live there; for why should your servant live in the royal city with you?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:6 - So Achish gave him Ziklag that day; therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:7 - The number of days that David lived in the country of the Philistines was a year and four months.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:11 - David did not leave a man or a woman alive to bring to Gath, saying, “Otherwise they will tell about us, saying, ‘So has David done and so has been his practice all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.'”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:3 - But the people said, “You should not go out; for if we indeed flee, they will not care about us; even if half of us die, they will not care about us. But [fn]you are worth ten thousand of us; therefore now it is better that you be ready to help us from the city.”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:12 - The man said to Joab, “Even if I should receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, I would not put out my hand against the king's son; for in our hearing the king charged you and Abishai and Ittai, saying,[fn]Protect for me the young man Absalom!'
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:13 - “Otherwise, if I had dealt treacherously against his life (and there is nothing hidden from the king), then you yourself would have stood aloof.”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:18 - Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself a pillar which is in the King's Valley, for he said, “I have no son [fn]to preserve my name.” So he named the pillar after his own name, and it is called Absalom's Monument to this day.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:20 - But Joab said to him, “You are not the man to carry news this day, but you shall carry news another day; however, you shall carry no news today because the king's son is dead.”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:2 - The [fn]victory that day was turned to mourning for all the people, for the people heard it said that day, “The king is grieved for his son.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:3 - So the people went by stealth into the city that day, as people who are humiliated steal away when they flee in battle.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:6 - by loving those who hate you, and by hating those who love you. For you have shown today that [fn]princes and servants are nothing to you; for I know this day that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, then [fn]you would be pleased.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:7 - “Now therefore arise, go out and speak [fn]kindly to your servants, for I swear by the LORD, if you do not go out, surely not a man will pass the night with you, and this will be worse for you than all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:8 - So the king arose and sat in the gate. When they told all the people, saying, “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate,” then all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled, each to his tent.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:9 - All the people were quarreling throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us from the [fn]hand of our enemies and saved us from the [fn]hand of the Philistines, but now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:18 - Then they kept crossing the ford to bring over the king's household, and to do what was good in his sight. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king as he was about to cross the Jordan.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:27 - “Moreover, he has slandered your servant to my lord the king; but my lord the king is like the angel of God, therefore do what is good in your sight.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:28 - “For all my father's household was nothing but dead men before my lord the king; yet you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right do I have yet that I should [fn]complain anymore to the king?”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:37 - “Please let your servant return, that I may die in my own city near the grave of my father and my mother. However, here is your servant Chimham, let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your sight.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:38 - The king answered, “Chimham shall cross over with me, and I will do for him what is good in your sight; and whatever you [fn]require of me, I will do for you.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:43 - But the men of Israel answered the men of Judah and said,[fn]We have ten parts in the king, therefore [fn]we also have more claim on David than you.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:1 - Now a worthless fellow happened to be there whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet and said,

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:3 - Then David came to his house at Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women, the concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and placed them under guard and provided them with sustenance, but did not go in to them.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:10 - But Amasa was not on guard against the sword which was in Joab's hand so he struck him in the belly with it and poured out his inward parts on the ground, and did not strike him again, and he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:12 - But Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he [fn]removed Amasa from the highway into the field and threw a garment over him when he saw that everyone who came by him stood still.

Unchecked Copy Box2Ch 21:14 - behold, the LORD is going to strike your people, your sons, your wives and all your possessions with a great [fn]calamity;
Unchecked Copy Box2Ch 21:15 - and you will suffer [fn]severe sickness, a disease of your bowels, until your bowels come out because of the sickness, day by day.'”
Unchecked Copy Box2Ch 21:17 - and they came against Judah and invaded it, and carried away all the possessions found in the king's house together with his sons and his wives, so that no son was left to him except [fn]Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.

Unchecked Copy Box2Ch 22:7 - Now the destruction of Ahaziah was from God, in that [fn]he went to Joram. For when he came, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu the son of Nimshi, whom the LORD had anointed to cut off the house of Ahab.
Unchecked Copy Box2Ch 22:9 - He also sought Ahaziah, and they caught him while he was hiding in Samaria; they brought him to Jehu, put him to death and buried him.

Unchecked Copy BoxEst 5:6 - [fn]As they drank their wine at the banquet, the king said to Esther, “What is your petition, for it shall be granted to you. And what is your request? Even to half of the kingdom it shall be done.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 5:9 - Then Haman went out that day glad and pleased of heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate and that he did not stand up or [fn]tremble before him, Haman was filled with anger against Mordecai.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 5:13 - “Yet all of this [fn]does not satisfy me every time I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:2 - It was found written what Mordecai had reported concerning Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's eunuchs who were doorkeepers, that they had sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:4 - So the king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king's palace in order to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows which he had prepared for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:5 - The king's servants said to him, “Behold, Haman is standing in the court.” And the king said, “Let him come in.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:6 - So Haman came in and the king said to him, “What is to be done for the man whom the king desires to honor?” And Haman said [fn]to himself, “Whom would the king desire to honor more than me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 6:10 - Then the king said to Haman, “Take quickly the robes and the horse as you have said, and do so for Mordecai the Jew, who is sitting at the king's gate; do not fall short in anything of all that you have said.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 7:2 - And the king said to Esther on the second day also [fn]as they drank their wine at the banquet, “What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to half of the kingdom it shall be done.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 7:7 - The king arose in his anger from [fn]drinking wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman stayed to beg for his life from Queen Esther, for he saw that harm had been determined against him by the king.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 7:8 - Now when the king returned from the palace garden into the [fn]place where they were drinking wine, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, “Will he even assault the queen with me in the house?” As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 7:9 - Then Harbonah, one of the eunuchs who were before the king said, “Behold indeed, the gallows standing at Haman's house fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai who spoke good on behalf of the king!” And the king said, “Hang him on it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:1 - On that day King Ahasuerus gave the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews, to Queen Esther; and Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had disclosed what he was to her.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:5 - Then she said, “If it pleases the king and if I have found favor before him and the matter seems proper to the king and I am pleasing in his sight, let it be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king's provinces.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:6 - “For how can I endure to see the calamity which will befall my people, and how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:9 - So the king's scribes were called at that time in the third month (that is, the month Sivan), on the twenty-third [fn]day; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, the satraps, the governors and the princes of the provinces which extended from India to [fn]Ethiopia, 127 provinces, to every province according to its script, and to every people according to their language as well as to the Jews according to their script and their language.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:11 - [fn]In them the king granted the Jews who were in each and every city the right to assemble and to defend their lives, to destroy, to kill and to annihilate the entire army of any people or province which might attack them, including children and women, and to plunder their spoil,
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:12 - on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month (that is, the month Adar).
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:13 - A copy of the edict to be [fn]issued as law in each and every province was published to all the peoples, so that the Jews would be ready for this day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:14 - The couriers, hastened and impelled by the king's command, went out, riding on the royal steeds; and the decree was given out at the citadel in Susa.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 8:15 - Then Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal robes of [fn]blue and white, with a large crown of gold and a garment of fine linen and purple; and the city of Susa shouted and rejoiced.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:1 - Now in the twelfth month (that is, the month Adar), on the thirteenth [fn]day when the king's command and edict [fn]were about to be executed, on the day when the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain the mastery over them, it was turned to the contrary so that the Jews themselves gained the mastery over those who hated them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:2 - The Jews assembled in their cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus to lay hands on those who sought their harm; and no one could stand before them, for the dread of them had fallen on all the peoples.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:4 - Indeed, Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai became greater and greater.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:6 - At the citadel in Susa the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men,
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:11 - On that day the number of those who were killed at the citadel in Susa [fn]was reported to the king.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:12 - The king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men and the ten sons of Haman at the citadel in Susa. What then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces! Now what is your petition? It shall even be granted you. And what is your further request? It shall also be done.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:15 - The Jews who were in Susa assembled also on the fourteenth day of the month Adar and killed three hundred men in Susa, but they did not lay their hands on the plunder.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:16 - Now the rest of the Jews who were in the king's provinces assembled, to defend their lives and [fn]rid themselves of their enemies, and kill 75,000 of those who hated them; but they did not lay their hands on the plunder.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:18 - But the Jews who were in Susa assembled on the thirteenth and the fourteenth [fn]of the same month, and they rested on the fifteenth [fn]day and made it a day of feasting and rejoicing.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:19 - Therefore the Jews of the rural areas, who live in the rural towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a [fn]holiday for rejoicing and feasting and sending portions of food to one another.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:20 - Then Mordecai recorded these events, and he sent letters to all the Jews who were in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, both near and far,
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 9:22 - because on those days the Jews [fn]rid themselves of their enemies, and it was a month which was turned for them from sorrow into gladness and from mourning into a [fn]holiday; that they should make them days of feasting and rejoicing and sending portions of food to one another and gifts to the poor.
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 10:2 - And all the [fn]accomplishments of his authority and strength, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai to which the king [fn]advanced him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia?
Unchecked Copy BoxEst 10:3 - For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and in favor with his many kinsmen, one who sought the good of his people and one who spoke for the welfare of his whole nation.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 1:1 - There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and that man was blameless, upright, fearing God and turning away from evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 1:5 - When the days of feasting had completed their cycle, Job would send and consecrate them, rising up early in the morning and offering burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did continually.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 1:12 - Then the LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your [fn]power, only do not put forth your hand on him.” So Satan departed from the presence of the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 1:13 - Now on the day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 1:15 - and [fn]the Sabeans [fn]attacked and took them. They also [fn]slew the servants with the edge of the sword, and [fn]I alone have escaped to tell you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:16 - I [fn]said to myself, “Behold, I have magnified and increased wisdom more than all who were over Jerusalem before me; and my [fn]mind has observed [fn]a wealth of wisdom and knowledge.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:18 - Because in much wisdom there is much grief, and increasing knowledge results in increasing pain.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:1 - I said [fn]to myself, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure. So [fn]enjoy yourself.” And behold, it too was futility.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:3 - I explored with my [fn]mind how to stimulate my body with wine while my [fn]mind was guiding me wisely, and how to take hold of folly, until I could see what good there is for the sons of men [fn]to do under heaven the few [fn]years of their lives.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:5 - I made gardens and parks for myself and I planted in them all kinds of fruit trees;
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:7 - I bought male and female slaves and I had [fn]homeborn slaves. Also I possessed flocks and herds larger than all who preceded me in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:9 - Then I became great and increased more than all who preceded me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also stood by me.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:10 - All that my eyes desired I did not refuse them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, for my heart was pleased because of all my labor and this was my reward for all my labor.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:11 - Thus I considered all my activities which my hands had done and the labor which I had [fn]exerted, and behold all was [fn]vanity and striving after wind and there was no profit under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:14 - The wise man's eyes are in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. And yet I know that one fate befalls them both.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:15 - Then I said [fn]to myself, “As is the fate of the fool, it will also befall me. Why then have I been extremely wise?” So [fn]I said to myself, “This too is vanity.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:19 - And who knows whether he will be a wise man or a fool? Yet he will have [fn]control over all the fruit of my labor for which I have labored by acting wisely under the sun. This too is vanity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:21 - When there is a man who has labored with wisdom, knowledge and skill, then he gives his [fn]legacy to one who has not labored with them. This too is vanity and a great evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:22 - For what does a man get in all his labor and in [fn]his striving with which he labors under the sun?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:23 - Because all his days his task is painful and grievous; even at night his [fn]mind does not rest. This too is vanity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:24 - There is nothing better for a man than to eat and drink and [fn]tell himself that his labor is good. This also I have seen that it is from the hand of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:9 - What profit is there to the worker from that in which he toils?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:10 - I have seen the task which God has given the sons of men with which to occupy themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:11 - He has made everything [fn]appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, [fn]yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:12 - I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one's lifetime;
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:13 - moreover, that every man who eats and drinks sees good in all his labor—it is the gift of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:17 - I said [fn]to myself, “God will judge both the righteous man and the wicked man,” for a time for every [fn]matter and for every deed is there.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:18 - I said [fn]to myself concerning the sons of men, “God has surely tested them in order for them to see that they are but beasts.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:22 - I have seen that nothing is better than that man should be happy in his activities, for that is his lot. For who will bring him to see what will occur after him?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:9 - Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:14 - For he has come out of prison to become king, even though he was born poor in his kingdom.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:16 - There is no end to all the people, to all who were before them, and even the ones who will come later will not be happy with him, for this too is vanity and striving after wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:1 - [fn]Guard your steps as you go to the house of God and draw near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know they are doing evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:2 - [fn]Do not be hasty [fn]in word or [fn]impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:3 - For the dream comes through much [fn]effort and the voice of a fool through many words.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:4 - When you make a vow to God, do not be late in paying it; for He takes no delight in fools. Pay what you vow!
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:7 - For in many dreams and in many words there is [fn]emptiness. Rather, [fn]fear God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:8 - If you see oppression of the poor and denial of justice and righteousness in the province, do not be shocked at the [fn]sight; for one [fn]official watches over another [fn]official, and there are higher [fn]officials over them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:9 - After all, a king who cultivates the field is an advantage to the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:10 - He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. This too is [fn]vanity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:11 - When good things increase, those who consume them increase. So what is the advantage to their owners except to [fn]look on?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:14 - When those riches were lost through [fn]a bad investment and he had fathered a son, then there was nothing [fn]to support him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:15 - As he had come naked from his mother's womb, so will he return as he came. He will take nothing from the fruit of his labor that he can carry in his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:17 - Throughout his life he also eats in darkness with great vexation, sickness and anger.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:18 - Here is what I have seen to be good and [fn]fitting: to eat, to drink and [fn]enjoy oneself in all one's labor in which he toils under the sun during the few [fn]years of his life which God has given him; for this is his [fn]reward.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:19 - Furthermore, as for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, He has also empowered him to eat from them and to receive his [fn]reward and rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:20 - For he will not often [fn]consider the [fn]years of his life, because God keeps [fn]him occupied with the gladness of his heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:4 - for it comes in futility and goes into obscurity; and its name is covered in obscurity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:12 - For who knows what is good for a man during his lifetime, during the few [fn]years of his futile life? He will [fn]spend them like a shadow. For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:3 - Sorrow is better than laughter,
For when a face is sad a heart may be happy.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:4 - The [fn]mind of the wise is in the house of mourning,
While the [fn]mind of fools is in the house of pleasure.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:9 - Do not be [fn]eager in your heart to be angry,
For anger resides in the bosom of fools.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:10 - Do not say, “Why is it that the former days were better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:12 - For wisdom is [fn]protection just as money is [fn]protection,
But the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the lives of its possessors.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:14 - In the day of prosperity be happy,
But in the day of adversity consider
God has made the one as well as the other
So that man will not discover anything that will be after him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:15 - I have seen everything during my [fn]lifetime of futility; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:17 - Do not be excessively wicked and do not be a fool. Why should you die before your time?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:18 - It is good that you grasp one thing and also not [fn]let go of the other; for the one who fears God comes forth with [fn]both of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:19 - Wisdom strengthens a wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:20 - Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:23 - I tested all this with wisdom, and I said, “I will be wise,” but it was far from me.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:26 - And I discovered more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, whose hands are chains. One who is pleasing to God will escape from her, but the sinner will be captured by her.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:28 - which [fn]I am still seeking but have not found. I have found one man among a thousand, but I have not found a woman among all these.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:3 - “Do not be in a hurry [fn]to leave him. Do not join in an evil matter, for he will do whatever he pleases.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:8 - No man has authority to restrain the wind with the wind, or authority over the day of death; and there is no discharge in the time of war, and evil will not deliver [fn]those who practice it.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:9 - All this I have seen and applied my [fn]mind to every deed that has been done under the sun wherein a man has exercised authority over another man to his hurt.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:10 - So then, I have seen the wicked buried, those who used to go in and out from the holy place, and they are soon forgotten in the city where they did thus. This too is futility.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:11 - Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:13 - But it will not be well for the evil man and he will not lengthen his days like a shadow, because he does not fear God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:15 - So I commended pleasure, for there is nothing good for a man under the sun except to eat and to drink and to be merry, and this will stand by him in his [fn]toils throughout the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:16 - When I gave my heart to know wisdom and to see the task which has been done on the earth (even though one should [fn]never sleep day or night),
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:1 - For I have taken all this to my heart and explain [fn]it that righteous men, wise men, and their deeds are in the hand of God. Man does not know whether it will be love or hatred; anything [fn]awaits him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:2 - It is the same for all. There is one fate for the righteous and for the wicked; for the good, for the clean and for the unclean; for the man who offers a sacrifice and for the one who does not sacrifice. As the good man is, so is the sinner; as the swearer is, so is the one who [fn]is afraid to swear.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:3 - This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one fate for all men. Furthermore, the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil and insanity is in their hearts throughout their lives. Afterwards they go to the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:6 - Indeed their love, their hate and their zeal have already perished, and they will no longer have a share in all that is done under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:7 - Go then, eat your bread in happiness and drink your wine with a cheerful heart; for God has already approved your works.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:8 - Let your clothes be white all the time, and let not oil be lacking on your head.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:9 - Enjoy life with the woman whom you love all the days of your [fn]fleeting life which He has given to you under the sun[fn]; for this is your reward in life and in your toil in which you have labored under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:10 - Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no activity or planning or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol where you are going.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:12 - Moreover, man does not know his time: like fish caught in a treacherous net and birds trapped in a snare, so the sons of men are ensnared at an evil time when it suddenly falls on them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:14 - There was a small city with few men in it and a great king came to it, surrounded it and constructed large siegeworks against it.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:15 - But there was found in it a poor wise man and he [fn]delivered the city by his wisdom. Yet no one remembered that poor man.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:17 - The words of the wise heard in quietness are better than the shouting of a ruler among fools.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:3 - Even when the fool walks along the road, his [fn]sense is lacking and he [fn]demonstrates to everyone that he is a fool.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:6 - folly is set in many exalted places while rich men sit in humble places.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:8 - He who digs a pit may fall into it, and a serpent may bite him who breaks through a wall.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:9 - He who quarries stones may be hurt by them, and he who splits logs may be endangered by them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:11 - If the serpent bites [fn]before being charmed, there is no profit for the charmer.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:16 - Woe to you, O land, whose king is a lad and whose princes [fn]feast in the morning.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:17 - Blessed are you, O land, whose king is of nobility and whose princes eat at the appropriate time—for strength and not for drunkenness.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:18 - Through indolence the rafters sag, and through slackness the house leaks.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:20 - Furthermore, in your bedchamber do not curse a king, and in your sleeping rooms do not curse a rich man, for a bird of the heavens will carry the sound and the winged creature will make the matter known.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:1 - Cast your bread on the surface of the waters, for you will find it [fn]after many days.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:3 - If the clouds are full, they pour out rain upon the earth; and whether a tree falls toward the south or toward the north, wherever the tree falls, there it [fn]lies.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:4 - He who watches the wind will not sow and he who looks at the clouds will not reap.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:5 - Just as you do not know [fn]the path of the wind and how bones are formed in the womb of the [fn]pregnant woman, so you do not know the activity of God who makes all things.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:6 - Sow your seed in the morning and do not [fn]be idle in the evening, for you do not know whether [fn]morning or evening sowing will succeed, or whether both of them alike will be good.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:8 - Indeed, if a man should live many years, let him rejoice in them all, and let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. Everything that is to come will be futility.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:9 - Rejoice, young man, during your childhood, and let your heart be pleasant during the days of young manhood. And follow the [fn]impulses of your heart and the [fn]desires of your eyes. Yet know that God will bring you to judgment for all these things.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:1 - Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say, “I have no delight in them”;
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:3 - in the day that the watchmen of the house tremble, and mighty men stoop, the grinding ones stand idle because they are few, and those who look through [fn]windows grow dim;
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:4 - and the doors on the street are shut as the sound of the grinding mill is low, and one will arise at the sound of the bird, and all the daughters of song will [fn]sing softly.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:5 - Furthermore, [fn]men are afraid of a high place and of terrors on the road; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags himself along, and the caperberry is ineffective. For man goes to his eternal home while mourners go about in the street.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:14 - For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:4 - “Draw me after you and let us run together!
The king has brought me into his chambers.”
[fn]We will rejoice in you and be glad;
We will [fn]extol your love more than wine.
Rightly do they love you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:6 - “Do not stare at me because I am [fn]swarthy,
For the sun has burned me.
My mother's sons were angry with me;
They made me caretaker of the vineyards,
But I have not taken care of my own vineyard.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:7 - “Tell me, O you whom my soul loves,
Where do you pasture your flock,
Where do you make it lie down at noon?
For why should I be like one who [fn]veils herself
Beside the flocks of your companions?”
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:8 - [fn]If you yourself do not know,
Most beautiful among women,
Go forth on the trail of the flock
And pasture your young goats
By the tents of the shepherds.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:9 - [fn]To me, my darling, you are like
My mare among the chariots of Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:12 - [fn]While the king was at his [fn]table,
My [fn]perfume gave forth its fragrance.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:14 - “My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms
In the vineyards of Engedi.”
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:2 - [fn]Like a lily among the thorns,
So is my darling among the [fn]maidens.”
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:3 - [fn]Like an [fn]apple tree among the trees of the forest,
So is my beloved among the [fn]young men.
In his shade I took great delight and sat down,
And his fruit was sweet to my [fn]taste.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:5 - “Sustain me with raisin cakes,
Refresh me with [fn]apples,
Because I am lovesick.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:7 - [fn]I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or by the hinds of the field,
That you do not arouse or awaken my love
Until [fn]she pleases.”
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:12 - ‘The flowers have already appeared in the land;
The time has arrived for [fn]pruning the vines,
And the voice of the turtledove has been heard in our land.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:14 - [fn]O my dove, in the clefts of the [fn]rock,
In the secret place of the steep [fn]pathway,
Let me see your [fn]form,
Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet,
And your [fn]form is lovely.”
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:16 - [fn]My beloved is mine, and I am his;
He pastures his flock among the lilies.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 3:1 - [fn]On my bed night after night I sought him
Whom my soul loves;
I sought him but did not find him.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 3:2 - [fn]I must arise now and [fn]go about the city;
In the streets and in the squares
[fn]I must seek him whom my soul loves.'
I sought him but did not find him.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 3:3 - “The watchmen who make the rounds in the city found me,
And I said, ‘Have you seen him whom my soul loves?'
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 3:5 - [fn]I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or by the hinds of the field,
That you will not arouse or awaken my love
Until [fn]she pleases.”
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 3:8 - “All of them are wielders of the sword,
Expert in war;
Each man has his sword at his side,
Guarding against the [fn]terrors of the night.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 3:11 - “Go forth, O daughters of Zion,
And gaze on King Solomon with the [fn]crown
With which his mother has crowned him
On the day of his wedding,
And on the day of his gladness of heart.”
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:2 - “Your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn ewes
Which have come up from their washing,
All of which bear twins,
And not one among them has [fn]lost her young.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:5 - “Your two breasts are like two fawns,
Twins of a gazelle
Which feed among the lilies.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:7 - “You are altogether beautiful, my darling,
And there is no blemish in you.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 4:9 - “You have made my heart beat faster, my sister, my bride;
You have made my heart beat faster with a single glance of your eyes,
With a single strand of your necklace.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:6 - “I opened to my beloved,
But my beloved had turned away and had gone!
My [fn]heart went out to him as he spoke.
I searched for him but I did not find him;
I called him but he did not answer me.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:7 - “The watchmen who make the rounds in the city found me,
They struck me and wounded me;
The guardsmen of the walls took away my shawl from me.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:8 - “I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
If you find my beloved,
As to what you will tell him:
For I am lovesick.”
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:9 - [fn][fn]What kind of beloved is your beloved,
O most beautiful among women?
[fn]What kind of beloved is your beloved,
That thus you adjure us?”
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:12 - “His eyes are like doves
Beside streams of water,
Bathed in milk,
And [fn]reposed in their setting.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 6:1 - [fn]Where has your beloved gone,
O most beautiful among women?
Where has your beloved turned,
That we may seek him with you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 6:2 - [fn]My beloved has gone down to his garden,
To the beds of balsam,
To pasture his flock in the gardens
And gather lilies.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 6:3 - “I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine,
He who pastures his flock among the lilies.”
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 6:6 - “Your teeth are like a flock of ewes
Which have come up from their washing,
All of which bear twins,
And not one among them has [fn]lost her young.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 6:11 - “I went down to the orchard of nut trees
To see the blossoms of the valley,
To see whether the vine had budded
Or the pomegranates had bloomed.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 6:13 - [fn][fn]Come back, come back, O Shulammite;
Come back, come back, that we may gaze at you!”
[fn]Why should you gaze at the Shulammite,
As at the dance of [fn]the two companies?
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 7:1 - [fn]How beautiful are your [fn]feet in sandals,
O [fn]prince's daughter!
The curves of your hips are like [fn]jewels,
The work of the hands of an artist.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 7:2 - “Your navel is like a round goblet
Which never lacks mixed wine;
Your belly is like a heap of wheat
Fenced about with lilies.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 7:4 - “Your neck is like a tower of ivory,
Your eyes like the pools in Heshbon
By the gate of Bath-rabbim;
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon,
Which faces toward Damascus.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 7:5 - “Your head [fn]crowns you like Carmel,
And the flowing locks of your head are like purple threads;
The king is captivated by your tresses.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 7:6 - “How beautiful and how delightful you are,
[fn]My love, with all your charms!
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 7:8 - “I said, ‘I will climb the palm tree,
I will take hold of its fruit stalks.'
Oh, may your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
And the fragrance of your [fn]breath like [fn]apples,
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 7:11 - “Come, my beloved, let us go out into the [fn]country,
Let us spend the night in the villages.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:4 - [fn]I want you to swear, O daughters of Jerusalem,
[fn]Do not arouse or awaken my love
Until [fn]she pleases.”
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:7 - “Many waters cannot quench love,
Nor will rivers overflow it;
If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love,
It would be utterly despised.”
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:8 - [fn]We have a little sister,
And she has no breasts;
What shall we do for our sister
On the day when she is spoken for?
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:10 - [fn]I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers;
Then I became in his eyes as one who finds peace.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:11 - “Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon;
He entrusted the vineyard to caretakers.
Each one was to bring a thousand shekels of silver for its fruit.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:13 - [fn]O you who sit in the gardens,
My companions are listening for your voice
Let me hear it!”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:1 - The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz concerning Judah and Jerusalem, which he saw during the [fn]reigns of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:8 - The daughter of Zion is left like a shelter in a vineyard,
Like a watchman's hut in a cucumber field, like a besieged city.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:21 - How the faithful city has become a harlot,
She who was full of justice!
Righteousness once lodged in her,
But now murderers.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 1:24 - Therefore the Lord [fn]GOD of hosts,
The Mighty One of Israel, declares,
“Ah, I will be relieved of My adversaries
And avenge Myself on My foes.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:2 - Now it will come about that
In the last days
The mountain of the house of the LORD
Will be established [fn]as the chief of the mountains,
And will be raised above the hills;
And all the nations will stream to it.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:3 - And many peoples will come and say,
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
To the house of the God of Jacob;
That He may teach us [fn]concerning His ways
And that we may walk in His paths.”
For the [fn]law will go forth from Zion
And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:11 - The [fn]proud look of man will be abased
And the loftiness of man will be humbled,
And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 2:17 - The pride of man will be humbled
And the loftiness of men will be abased;
And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 3:7 - He will [fn]protest on that day, saying,
“I will not be your [fn]healer,
For in my house there is neither bread nor cloak;
You should not appoint me ruler of the people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 3:14 - The LORD enters into judgment with the elders and princes of His people,
“It is you who have devoured the vineyard;
The plunder of the poor is in your houses.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 3:16 - Moreover, the LORD said, “Because the daughters of Zion are proud
And walk with [fn]heads held high and seductive eyes,
And go along with mincing steps
And tinkle the bangles on their feet,
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 3:18 - In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, headbands, crescent ornaments,
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 4:2 - In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth will be the pride and the adornment of the survivors of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 4:3 - It will come about that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy—everyone who is recorded for life in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 4:4 - When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and [fn]purged the bloodshed of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning,
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 4:6 - There will be a shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and [fn]protection from the storm and the rain.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 5:1 - Let me sing now for my well-beloved
A song of my beloved concerning His vineyard.
My well-beloved had a vineyard on [fn]a fertile hill.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 5:2 - He dug it all around, removed its stones,
And planted it with [fn]the choicest vine.
And He built a tower in the middle of it
And also hewed out a [fn]wine vat in it;

Judge between Me and My vineyard.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 5:9 - In my ears the LORD of hosts has sworn, “Surely, many houses shall become desolate,
Even great and fine ones, without occupants.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 5:16 - But the LORD of hosts will be exalted in judgment,
And the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 5:21 - Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes
And clever in their own sight!
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 5:25 - On this account the anger of the LORD has burned against His people,
And He has stretched out His hand against them and struck them down.
And the mountains quaked, and their corpses [fn]lay like refuse in the middle of the streets.
For all this His anger [fn]is not spent,
But His hand is still stretched out.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 5:26 - He will also lift up a standard to the [fn]distant nation,
And will whistle for it from the ends of the earth;
And behold, it will come with speed swiftly.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 5:30 - And it will growl over it in that day like the roaring of the sea.
If one looks to the land, behold, there is darkness and distress;
Even the light is darkened by its clouds.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 6:5 - Then I said,
“Woe is me, for I am ruined!
Because I am a man of unclean lips,
And I live among a people of unclean lips;
For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 6:6 - Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with tongs.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 7:1 - Now it came about in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Aram and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to wage war against it, but could not [fn]conquer it.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 7:2 - When it was reported to the house of David, saying, “The Arameans [fn]have camped in Ephraim,” his heart and the hearts of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake [fn]with the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 7:14 - “Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a [fn]virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name [fn]Immanuel.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 7:18 - In that day the LORD will whistle for the fly that is in the [fn]remotest part of the rivers of Egypt and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 7:19 - They will all come and settle on the steep [fn]ravines, on the ledges of the cliffs, on all the thorn bushes and on all the [fn]watering places.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 7:20 - In that day the Lord will shave with a razor, hired from regions beyond the [fn]Euphrates (that is, with the king of Assyria), the head and the hair of the legs; and it will also remove the beard.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 7:21 - Now in that day a man may keep alive a heifer and a pair of sheep;
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 7:23 - And it will come about in that day, that every place where there used to be a thousand vines, valued at a thousand shekels of silver, will become briars and thorns.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 8:3 - So I approached the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. Then the LORD said to me, “Name him [fn]Maher-shalal-hash-baz;
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 8:14 - “Then He shall become a sanctuary;
But to both the houses of Israel, a stone to strike and a rock to stumble over,
And a snare and a trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 8:15 - “Many will stumble over them,
Then they will fall and be broken;
They will even be snared and caught.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 8:18 - Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 9:1 - [fn]But there will be no more gloom for her who was in anguish; in earlier times He treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He shall make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the [fn]Gentiles.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 9:2 - [fn]The people who walk in darkness
Will see a great light;
Those who live in a dark land,
The light will shine on them.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 9:3 - You shall multiply the nation,

They will be glad in Your presence
As with the gladness [fn]of harvest,
As [fn]men rejoice when they divide the spoil.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 9:7 - There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace,
On the throne of David and over his kingdom,
To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness
From then on and forevermore.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 9:9 - And all the people know it,
That is, Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria,
Asserting in pride and in arrogance of heart:
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 9:14 - So the LORD cuts off head and tail from Israel,
Both palm branch and bulrush in a single day.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 9:18 - For wickedness burns like a fire;
It consumes briars and thorns;
It even sets the thickets of the forest aflame
And they roll upward in a column of smoke.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:3 - Now what will you do in the day of punishment,
And in the devastation which will come from afar?
To whom will you flee for help?
And where will you leave your [fn]wealth?
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:5 - Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger
And the staff in whose hands is My indignation,
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:10 - “As my hand has reached to the kingdoms of the idols,
Whose graven images were greater than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:12 - So it will be that when the Lord has completed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, He will say, “I will [fn]punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria and the pomp of [fn]his haughtiness.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:15 - Is the axe to boast itself over the one who chops with it?

Or like a rod lifting him who is not wood.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:17 - And the light of Israel will become a fire and his Holy One a flame,
And it will burn and devour his thorns and his briars in a single day.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:20 - Now in that day the remnant of Israel, and those of the house of Jacob who have escaped, will never again rely on the one who struck them, but will truly rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:22 - For though your people, O Israel, may be like the sand of the sea,
Only a remnant within them will return;
A destruction is determined, overflowing with righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:23 - For a complete destruction, one that is decreed, the Lord [fn]GOD of hosts will execute in the midst of the whole land.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:24 - Therefore thus says the Lord [fn]GOD of hosts, “O My people who dwell in Zion, do not fear the Assyrian [fn]who strikes you with the rod and lifts up his staff against you, the way Egypt did.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:26 - The LORD of hosts will arouse a scourge against him like the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb; and His staff will be over the sea and He will lift it up the way He did in Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:27 - So it will be in that day, that [fn]his burden will be removed from your shoulders and his yoke from your neck, and the yoke will be broken because of fatness.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:28 - He has come against Aiath,
He has passed through Migron;
At Michmash he deposited his baggage.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 10:32 - Yet today he will halt at Nob;
He shakes his fist at the mountain of the [fn]daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 11:4 - But with righteousness He will judge the poor,
And decide with fairness for the afflicted of the earth;
And He will strike the earth with the rod of His mouth,
And with the breath of His lips He will slay the wicked.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 11:10 - Then in that day
The nations will resort to the root of Jesse,
Who will stand as a [fn]signal for the peoples;
And His resting place will be [fn]glorious.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 11:14 - They will swoop down on the slopes of the Philistines on the west;
Together they will plunder the sons of the east;
[fn]They will possess Edom and Moab,
And the sons of Ammon will be [fn]subject to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 11:15 - And the LORD will [fn]utterly destroy
The tongue of the [fn]Sea of Egypt;

With His scorching wind;
And He will strike it into seven streams
And make men walk over [fn]dry-shod.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 11:16 - And there will be a highway from Assyria
For the remnant of His people who will be left,
Just as there was for Israel
In the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 12:1 - Then you will say on that day,
“I will give thanks to You, O LORD;
For although You were angry with me,
Your anger is turned away,
And You comfort me.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 12:2 - “Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
For the LORD GOD is my strength and song,
And He has become my salvation.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 12:4 - And in that day you will say,
“Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name.
Make known His deeds among the peoples;
[fn]Make them remember that His name is exalted.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 12:5 - Praise the LORD in song, for He has done [fn]excellent things;
Let this be known throughout the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 12:6 - Cry aloud and shout for joy, O inhabitant of Zion,
For great in your midst is the Holy One of Israel.

Nor will the Arab pitch his tent there,
Nor will shepherds make their flocks lie down there.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 13:22 - [fn]Hyenas will howl in their fortified towers
And jackals in their luxurious palaces.
Her fateful time also [fn]will soon come
And her days will not be prolonged.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 14:3 - And it will be in the day when the LORD gives you rest from your pain and turmoil and harsh service in which you have been enslaved,
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 14:4 - that you will take up this [fn]taunt against the king of Babylon, and say,
“How the oppressor has ceased,
And how [fn]fury has ceased!
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 14:10 - “They will all respond and say to you,
‘Even you have been made weak as we,
You have become like us.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 14:13 - “But you said in your heart,
‘I will ascend to heaven;
I will raise my throne above the stars of God,
And I will sit on the mount of assembly
In the recesses of the north.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 14:17 - Who made the world like a wilderness
And overthrew its cities,
Who did not [fn]allow his prisoners to go home?'
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 14:18 - “All the kings of the nations lie in glory,
Each in his own [fn]tomb.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 14:19 - “But you have been cast out of your tomb
Like [fn]a rejected branch,
[fn]Clothed with the slain who are pierced with a sword,
Who go down to the stones of the pit
Like a trampled corpse.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 15:3 - In their streets they have girded themselves with sackcloth;
On their housetops and in their squares
Everyone is wailing, [fn]dissolved in tears.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 15:5 - My heart cries out for Moab;
His fugitives are as far as Zoar and Eglath-shelishiyah,
For they go up the ascent of Luhith weeping;
Surely on the road to Horonaim they raise a cry of distress over their ruin.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 16:3 - [fn]Give us advice, make a decision;
[fn]Cast your shadow like night [fn]at high noon;
Hide the outcasts, do not betray the fugitive.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 16:5 - A throne will even be established in lovingkindness,
And a judge will sit on it in faithfulness in the tent of David;
Moreover, he will seek justice
And be prompt in righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 16:7 - Therefore Moab will wail; everyone of Moab will wail.
You will moan for the raisin cakes of Kir-hareseth
As those who are utterly stricken.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 16:10 - Gladness and joy are taken away from the fruitful field;
In the vineyards also there will be no cries of joy or jubilant shouting,
No treader treads out wine in the presses,
For I have made the shouting to cease.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 16:14 - But now the LORD speaks, saying, “Within three years, as [fn]a hired man would count them, the glory of Moab will be degraded along with all his great population, and his remnant will be very small and [fn]impotent.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 17:3 - “The [fn]fortified city will disappear from Ephraim,
And [fn]sovereignty from Damascus
And the remnant of Aram;
They will be like the glory of the sons of Israel,”
Declares the LORD of hosts.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 17:4 - Now in that day the glory of Jacob will [fn]fade,
And the fatness of his flesh will become lean.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 17:5 - It will be even like the [fn]reaper gathering the standing grain,
As his arm harvests the ears,
Or it will be like one gleaning ears of grain
In the valley of Rephaim.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 17:6 - Yet gleanings will be left in it like the [fn]shaking of an olive tree,
Two or three olives on the topmost bough,
Four or five on the branches of a fruitful tree,
Declares the LORD, the God of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 18:2 - Which sends envoys by the sea,
Even in papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters.
Go, swift messengers, to a nation [fn]tall and smooth,
To a people feared [fn]far and wide,
A powerful and oppressive nation
Whose land the rivers divide.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 18:4 - For thus the LORD has told me,
“I will look [fn]from My dwelling place quietly
Like dazzling heat in the [fn]sunshine,
Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 18:7 - At that time a gift of homage will be brought to the LORD of hosts
[fn]From a people [fn]tall and smooth,

To the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, even Mount Zion.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:1 - The [fn]oracle concerning Egypt.

And the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:3 - “Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be demoralized within them;
And I will confound their strategy,
So that they will resort to idols and ghosts of the dead
And to [fn]mediums and spiritists.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:6 - The [fn]canals will emit a stench,
The [fn]streams of Egypt will thin out and dry up;
The reeds and rushes will rot away.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:10 - And [fn]the pillars of Egypt will be crushed;
All the hired laborers will be grieved in soul.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:14 - The LORD has mixed within her a spirit of distortion;
They have led Egypt astray in all [fn]that it does,
As a drunken man [fn]staggers in his vomit.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:16 - In that day the Egyptians will become like women, and they will tremble and be in dread because of the waving of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which He is going to wave over them.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:18 - In that day five cities in the land of Egypt will be speaking the language of Canaan and swearing allegiance to the LORD of hosts; one will be called the City of [fn]Destruction.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:19 - In that day there will be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the LORD near its border.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:20 - It will become a sign and a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the LORD because of oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a [fn]Champion, and He will deliver them.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:21 - Thus the LORD will make Himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know the LORD in that day. They will even worship with sacrifice and offering, and will make a vow to the LORD and perform it.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:24 - In that day Israel will be the third party with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth,
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 19:25 - whom the LORD of hosts has blessed, saying, “Blessed is Egypt My people, and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel My inheritance.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 20:6 - “So the inhabitants of this coastland will say in that day, ‘Behold, such is our hope, where we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria; and we, how shall we escape?'”

O inhabitants of the land of Tema,
Meet the fugitive with bread.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 21:15 - For they have fled from the swords,
From the drawn sword, and from the bent bow
And from the press of battle.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:3 - All your rulers have fled together,
And have been captured [fn]without the bow;
All of you who were found were taken captive together,
[fn]Though they had fled far away.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:5 - For the Lord [fn]GOD of hosts has a day of panic, subjugation and confusion
In the valley of vision,
A breaking down of walls
And a crying [fn]to the mountain.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:12 - Therefore in that day the Lord [fn]GOD of hosts called you to weeping, to wailing,
To shaving the head and to wearing sackcloth.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:14 - But the LORD of hosts revealed Himself [fn]to me,
“Surely this iniquity shall not be [fn]forgiven you
Until you die,” says the Lord [fn]GOD of hosts.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:16 - ‘What right do you have here,

That you have hewn a tomb for yourself here,
You who hew a tomb on the height,
You who carve a resting place for [fn]yourself in the rock?
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:20 - “Then it will come about in that day,
That I will summon My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 22:21 - And I will clothe him with your tunic
And tie your sash securely about him.

And he will become a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:2 - Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland,
You merchants of Sidon;
[fn]Your messengers crossed the sea
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:3 - And were on many waters.
The grain of the [fn]Nile, the harvest of the River was her revenue;
And she was the market of nations.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:6 - Pass over to Tarshish;
Wail, O inhabitants of the coastland.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 23:15 - Now in that day Tyre will be forgotten for seventy years like the days of one king. At the end of seventy years it will happen to Tyre as in the song of the harlot:
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 24:1 - Behold, the LORD lays the earth waste, devastates it, distorts its surface and scatters its inhabitants.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 24:6 - Therefore, a curse devours the earth, and those who live in it are held guilty. Therefore, the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 24:13 - For thus it will be in the midst of the earth among the peoples,
As the [fn]shaking of an olive tree,
As the gleanings when the grape harvest is over.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 24:15 - Therefore glorify the LORD in the [fn]east,
The name of the LORD, the God of Israel,
In the [fn]coastlands of the sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 24:23 - Then the moon will be abashed and the sun ashamed,
For the LORD of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem,
And His glory will be before His elders.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 25:5 - Like heat in drought, You subdue the uproar of aliens;
Like heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the ruthless is [fn]silenced.

Even the veil which is [fn]stretched over all nations.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 25:10 - For the hand of the LORD will rest on this mountain,
And Moab will be trodden down in his place
As straw is trodden down in the water of a manure pile.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:5 - “For He has brought low those who dwell on high, the unassailable city;
He lays it low, He lays it low to the ground, He casts it to the dust.

They [fn]could only whisper a prayer,
Your chastening was upon them.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:18 - We were pregnant, we writhed in labor,

We could not accomplish deliverance for the earth,
Nor were inhabitants of the world [fn]born.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 26:19 - Your dead will live;
[fn]Their corpses will rise.
You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy,
For your dew is as the dew of the [fn]dawn,
And the earth will [fn]give birth to the [fn]departed spirits.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 27:4 - “I have no wrath.
Should [fn]someone give Me briars and thorns in battle,

Let him make peace with Me,
Let him make peace with Me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 27:11 - When its limbs are dry, they are broken off;
Women come and make a fire with them,
For they are not a people of discernment,
Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them.
And their Creator will not be gracious to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 27:12 - In that day the LORD will start His threshing from the flowing stream of the Euphrates to the brook of Egypt, and you will be gathered up one by one, O sons of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 27:13 - It will come about also in that day that a great trumpet will be blown, and those who were perishing in the land of Assyria and who were scattered in the land of Egypt will come and worship the LORD in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

Who rule this people who are in Jerusalem,
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:19 - “As often as it passes through, it will [fn]seize you;
For morning after morning it will pass through, anytime during the day or night,
And it will be [fn]sheer terror to understand [fn]what it means.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:21 - For the LORD will rise up as at Mount Perazim,
He will be stirred up as in the valley of Gibeon,
To do His task, His [fn]unusual task,
And to work His work, His [fn]extraordinary work.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 28:25 - Does he not level its surface
And sow dill and scatter cummin
And [fn]plant wheat in rows,
Barley in its place and rye within its [fn]area?
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:7 - And the multitude of all the nations who wage war against [fn]Ariel,
Even all who wage war against her and her stronghold, and who distress her,
Will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:8 - It will be as when a hungry man dreams
And behold, he is eating;
But when he awakens, his [fn]hunger is not satisfied,
Or as when a thirsty man dreams
And behold, he is drinking,

And his [fn]thirst is not quenched.
Thus the multitude of all the nations will be
Who wage war against Mount Zion.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:15 - Woe to those who deeply hide their [fn]plans from the LORD,
And whose deeds are done in a dark place,
And they say, “Who sees us?” or “Who knows us?”

And out of their gloom and darkness the eyes of the blind will see.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:19 - The afflicted also will increase their gladness in the LORD,
And the needy of mankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 29:21 - Who [fn]cause a person to be indicted by a word,

And their treasures on camels' humps,
To a people who cannot profit them;
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:14 - Whose collapse is like the smashing of a potter's jar,
[fn]So ruthlessly shattered
That a sherd will not be found among its pieces
To [fn]take fire from a hearth
Or to scoop water from a cistern.”
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:18 - Therefore the LORD [fn]longs to be gracious to you,
And therefore He [fn]waits on high to have compassion on you.
For the LORD is a God of justice;

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:21 - Your ears will hear a word behind you, “[fn]This is the way, walk in it,” whenever you turn to the right or to the left.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:24 - Also the oxen and the donkeys which work the ground will eat salted fodder, which [fn]has been winnowed with shovel and fork.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:25 - On every lofty mountain and on every high hill there will be [fn]streams running with water on the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:26 - The light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter, like the light of seven days, on the day the LORD binds up the fracture of His people and heals the bruise [fn]He has inflicted.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 30:28 - His breath is like an overflowing torrent,
Which reaches to the neck,
To shake the nations back and forth in a [fn]sieve,
And to put in the jaws of the peoples the bridle which [fn]leads to ruin.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 31:9 - “His rock will pass away because of panic,
And his princes will be terrified at the standard,”
Declares the LORD, whose fire is in Zion and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:2 - Each will be like a refuge from the wind
And a shelter from the storm,
Like [fn]streams of water in a dry country,
Like the shade of a [fn]huge rock in [fn]a parched land.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:7 - As for a rogue, his weapons are evil;
He devises wicked schemes
To destroy the afflicted with [fn]slander,
Even though the needy one speaks [fn]what is right.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:9 - Rise up, you women who are at ease,
And hear my voice;
Give ear to my word,
You complacent daughters.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:10 - Within a year and a few days
You will be troubled, O complacent daughters;
For the vintage is ended,
And the fruit gathering will not come.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 32:16 - Then justice will dwell in the wilderness
And righteousness will abide in the fertile field.

Unchecked Copy BoxLam 2:20 - See, O LORD, and look!
With whom have You dealt thus?
Should women eat their [fn]offspring,
The little ones who were [fn]born healthy?
Should priest and prophet be slain
In the sanctuary of the Lord?
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 2:21 - On the ground in the streets
Lie young and old;
My virgins and my young men
Have fallen by the sword.
You have slain them in the day of Your anger,
You have slaughtered, not sparing.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 2:22 - You called as in the day of an appointed feast
My terrors on every side;
And there was no one who escaped or survived
In the day of the LORD'S anger.
Those whom I [fn]bore and reared,
My enemy annihilated them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:1 - I am the man who has seen affliction
Because of the rod of His wrath.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:3 - Surely against me He has turned His hand
Repeatedly all the day.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:6 - In dark places He has made me dwell,
Like those who have long been dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:10 - He is to me like a bear lying in wait,
Like a lion in secret places.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:27 - It is good for a man that he should bear
The yoke in his youth.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:36 - To [fn]defraud a man in his lawsuit
Of these things the Lord does not [fn]approve.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:41 - We lift up our heart [fn]and hands
Toward God in heaven;
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:43 - You have covered Yourself with anger
And pursued us;
You have slain and have not spared.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:45 - You have made us mere offscouring and refuse
In the midst of the peoples.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:53 - They have silenced [fn]me in the pit
And have [fn]placed a stone on me.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:57 - You drew near when I called on You;
You said, “Do not fear!”
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:60 - You have seen all their vengeance,
All their schemes against me.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 3:66 - You will pursue them in anger and destroy them
From under the heavens of the LORD!
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 4:2 - The precious sons of Zion,
Weighed against fine gold,
How they are regarded as earthen jars,
The work of a potter's hands!
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 4:3 - Even jackals offer the breast,
They nurse their young;
But the daughter of my people has become cruel
Like ostriches in the wilderness.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 4:4 - The tongue of the infant cleaves
To the roof of its mouth because of thirst;
The little ones ask for bread,
But no one breaks it for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 4:5 - Those who ate delicacies
Are desolate in the streets;
Those [fn]reared in purple
Embrace ash pits.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 4:6 - For the [fn]iniquity of the daughter of my people
Is greater than the [fn]sin of Sodom,
Which was overthrown as in a moment,
And no hands were [fn]turned toward her.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 4:8 - Their appearance is blacker than soot,
They are not recognized in the streets;
Their skin is shriveled on their bones,
It is withered, it has become like wood.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 4:10 - The hands of compassionate women
Boiled their own children;
They became food for them
Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 4:11 - The LORD has accomplished His wrath,
He has poured out His fierce anger;
And He has kindled a fire in Zion
Which has consumed its foundations.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 4:13 - Because of the sins of her prophets
And the iniquities of her priests,
Who have shed in her midst
The blood of the righteous;
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 4:14 - They wandered, blind, in the streets;
They were defiled with blood
So that no one could touch their garments.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 4:15 - “Depart! Unclean!” [fn]they cried of themselves.
“Depart, depart, do not touch!”
So they fled and wandered;
Men among the nations said,
“They shall not continue to dwell with us.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 4:18 - They hunted our steps
So that we could not walk in our streets;
Our end drew near,
Our days were [fn]finished
For our end had come.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 4:19 - Our pursuers were swifter
Than the eagles of the sky;
They chased us on the mountains,
They waited in ambush for us in the wilderness.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 4:20 - The breath of our nostrils, the LORD'S anointed,
Was captured in their pits,
Of whom we had said, “Under his shadow
We shall live among the nations.”
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 5:4 - [fn]We have to pay for our drinking water,
Our wood comes to us at a price.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 5:9 - We get our bread [fn]at the risk of our lives
[fn]Because of the sword in the wilderness.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 5:11 - They ravished the women in Zion,
The virgins in the cities of Judah.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 5:12 - Princes were hung by their hands;
[fn]Elders were not respected.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 5:13 - Young men [fn]worked at the grinding mill,
And youths stumbled under loads of wood.
Unchecked Copy BoxLam 5:18 - Because of Mount Zion which lies desolate,
Foxes prowl in it.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 1:1 - Now it came about in the thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was by the river Chebar among the exiles, the heavens were opened and I saw [fn]visions of God.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 1:4 - As I looked, behold, a storm wind was coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing forth continually and a bright light around it, and in its midst something like glowing metal in the midst of the fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 1:5 - Within it there were figures resembling four living beings. And this was their appearance: they had human form.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 1:9 - their wings touched one another; their faces did not turn when they moved, each went straight forward.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 1:13 - [fn]In the midst of the living beings there was something that looked like burning coals of fire, [fn]like torches darting back and forth among the living beings. The fire was bright, and lightning was [fn]flashing from the fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 1:16 - The appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like [fn]sparkling beryl, and all four of them had the same form, their appearance and workmanship being as if [fn]one wheel were within another.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 1:17 - Whenever they [fn]moved, they [fn]moved in any of their four [fn]directions without turning as they [fn]moved.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 1:19 - Whenever the living beings [fn]moved, the wheels [fn]moved with them. And whenever the living beings rose from the earth, the wheels rose also.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 1:20 - Wherever the spirit was about to go, they would go in that direction[fn]. And the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living [fn]beings was in the wheels.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 1:21 - Whenever those went, these went; and whenever those stood still, these stood still. And whenever those rose from the earth, the wheels rose close beside them; for the spirit of the living [fn]beings was in the wheels.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 1:24 - I also heard the sound of their wings like the sound of abundant waters as they went, like the voice of [fn]the Almighty, a sound of tumult like the sound of an army camp; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 1:28 - As the appearance of the rainbow [fn]in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the surrounding radiance. Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. And when I saw it, I fell on my face and heard a voice speaking.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 2:5 - “As for them, whether they listen or [fn]not—for they are a rebellious house—they will know that a prophet has been among them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 2:6 - “And you, son of man, neither fear them nor fear their words, though thistles and thorns are with you and you sit on scorpions; neither fear their words nor be dismayed at their presence, for they are a rebellious house.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 2:9 - Then I looked, and behold, a hand was extended to me; and lo, a [fn]scroll was in it.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 2:10 - When He spread it out before me, it was written on the front and back, and written on it were lamentations, mourning and woe.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:3 - He said to me, “Son of man, feed your stomach and fill your [fn]body with this scroll which I am giving you.” Then I ate it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:14 - So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away; and I went embittered in the rage of my spirit, and the hand of the LORD was strong on me.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:15 - Then I came to the exiles who lived beside the river Chebar at Tel-abib, and I sat there seven days where they were living, causing consternation among them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:18 - “When I say to the wicked, ‘You will surely die,' and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way that he may live, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood I will require at your hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:19 - “Yet if you have warned the wicked and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered yourself.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:20 - “Again, when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I place an obstacle before him, he will die; since you have not warned him, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:24 - The Spirit then entered me and made me stand on my feet, and He spoke with me and said to me, “Go, shut yourself up in your house.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:25 - “As for you, son of man, they will put ropes on you and bind you with them so that you cannot go out among them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 3:27 - “But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth and you will say to them, ‘Thus says the Lord [fn]GOD.' He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 4:3 - “Then get yourself an iron plate and set it up as an iron wall between you and the city, and set your face toward it so that it is under siege, and besiege it. This is a sign to the house of Israel.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 4:13 - Then the LORD said, “Thus will the sons of Israel eat their bread unclean among the nations where I will banish them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 4:14 - But I said, “Ah, Lord [fn]GOD! Behold, I have never been defiled; for from my youth until now I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has any unclean meat ever entered my mouth.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 4:16 - Moreover, He said to me, “Son of man, behold, I am going to break the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they will eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and drink water by measure and in horror,

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 8:3 - He stretched out the form of a hand and caught me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the [fn]north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the idol of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy, was located.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 8:4 - And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, like the appearance which I saw in the plain.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 8:11 - Standing in front of them were seventy elders of the house of Israel, with Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan standing among them, each man with his censer in his hand and the fragrance of the cloud of incense rising.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 8:12 - Then He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are committing in the dark, each man in the room of his carved images? For they say, ‘The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 9:1 - Then He cried out in my hearing with a loud voice saying, “Draw near, [fn]O executioners of the city, each with his destroying weapon in his hand.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 9:2 - Behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate which faces north, each with his shattering weapon in his hand; and among them was a certain man clothed in linen with a [fn]writing case at his loins. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 9:4 - The LORD said to him, “Go through the midst of the city, even through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 9:6 - [fn]Utterly slay old men, young men, maidens, little children, and women, but do not touch any man on whom is the mark; and you shall start from My sanctuary.” So they started with the [fn]elders who were before the [fn]temple.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 9:8 - As they were striking the people and I alone was left, I fell on my face and cried out [fn]saying, “Alas, Lord [fn]GOD! Are You destroying the whole remnant of Israel [fn]by pouring out Your wrath on Jerusalem?”

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 10:11 - When they moved, they went in any of their four [fn]directions without turning as they went; but they followed in the direction which [fn]they faced, without turning as they went.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 10:16 - Now when the cherubim moved, the wheels would go beside them; also when the cherubim lifted up their wings to rise from the ground, the wheels would not turn from beside them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 10:17 - When [fn]the cherubim stood still, [fn]the wheels would stand still; and when they rose up, [fn]the wheels would rise with them, for the spirit of the living beings was in them.

Unchecked Copy BoxEze 11:2 - He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and give evil advice in this city,
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 11:6 - “You have multiplied your slain in this city, filling its streets with [fn]them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEze 11:7 - ‘Therefore, thus says the Lord [fn]GOD, “Your slain whom you have laid in the midst of [fn]the city are the flesh and this city is the pot; but [fn]I will bring you out of it.

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 4:12 - My people consult their wooden idol, and their diviner's wand informs them;

Like a stubborn heifer,

Like a lamb in a large field?
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 4:19 - The wind wraps them in its wings,

To return to their God.

Judah also has stumbled with them.

“Behind you, Benjamin!”
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 5:9 - Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke;
Among the tribes of Israel I declare what is sure.

When I restore the fortunes of My people.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:1 - When I would heal Israel,
The iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered,
And the evil deeds of Samaria,
For they deal falsely;
The thief enters in,
Bandits raid outside,
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:3 - With their wickedness they make the king glad,
And the princes with their lies.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:6 - For their hearts are like an oven
As they approach their [fn]plotting;
Their [fn]anger [fn]smolders all night,
In the morning it burns like a flaming fire.

And they consume their rulers;

When they wail on their beds;
For the sake of grain and new wine they [fn]assemble themselves,
They turn away from Me.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:16 - They turn, but not [fn]upward,
They are like a deceitful bow;
Their princes will fall by the sword
Because of the [fn]insolence of their tongue.
This will be their derision in the land of Egypt.

A craftsman made it, so it is not God;

They are now among the nations
Like a vessel in which no one delights.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 8:10 - Even though they hire allies among the nations,

Because of the burden of the king of princes.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 8:13 - As for My sacrificial gifts,

Because they have not listened to Him;
And they will be wanderers among the nations.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 10:6 - The thing itself will be carried to Assyria
As tribute to [fn]King Jareb;
Ephraim will [fn]be seized with shame
And Israel will be ashamed of its own counsel.

And the peoples will be gathered against them
When they are bound for their double guilt.

And I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws;

But Assyria—he will be [fn]their king
Because they refused to return to Me.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:6 - The sword will whirl against [fn]their cities,
And will demolish [fn]their gate bars
And consume them because of their counsels.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:8 - How can I give you up, O Ephraim?
How can I surrender you, O Israel?
How can I [fn]make you like Admah?
How can I treat you like Zeboiim?
My heart is turned over within Me,
[fn]All My compassions are kindled.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:9 - I will not execute My fierce anger;
I will not destroy Ephraim again.
For I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst,
And I will not come in [fn]wrath.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:12 - [fn]Ephraim surrounds Me with lies
And the house of Israel with deceit;
Judah is also unruly against God,
Even against the Holy One who is faithful.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 12:3 - In the womb he took his brother by the heel,
And in his maturity he contended with God.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 12:4 - Yes, he wrestled with the angel and prevailed;
He wept and sought His favor.
He found Him at Bethel
And there He spoke with us,
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 12:6 - Therefore, return to your God,
Observe [fn]kindness and justice,
And wait for your God continually.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 12:7 - A [fn]merchant, in whose hands are false balances,
He loves to oppress.

As in the days of the appointed festival.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 12:10 - I have also spoken to the prophets,
And I [fn]gave numerous visions,
And through the prophets I gave parables.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 12:11 - Is there iniquity in Gilead?

Yes, their altars are like the stone heaps
Beside the furrows of the field.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 12:12 - Now Jacob fled to the [fn]land of Aram,
And Israel worked for a wife,
And for a wife he kept sheep.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 12:13 - But by a prophet the LORD brought Israel from Egypt,
And by a prophet he was kept.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:1 - When Ephraim [fn]spoke, there was trembling.
He exalted himself in Israel,
But through Baal he [fn]did wrong and died.

In the land of drought.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:10 - Where now is your king
That he may save you in all your cities,
And your judges of whom you [fn]requested,

Unchecked Copy BoxJoe 2:17 - Let the priests, the LORD'S ministers,
Weep between the porch and the altar,

And do not make Your inheritance a reproach,
A byword among the nations.
Why should they among the peoples say,
‘Where is their God?'”
Unchecked Copy BoxJoe 2:19 - The LORD [fn]will answer and say to His people,
