Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:32 - let me pass through all your flock today, removing from it every speckled and spotted sheep and every black lamb, and the spotted and speckled among the goats, and they shall be my wages.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:33 - So my honesty will answer for me later, when you come to look into my wages with you. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the lambs, if found with me, shall be counted stolen.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:35 - But that day Laban removed the male goats that were striped and spotted, and all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white on it, and every lamb that was black, and put them in the charge of his sons.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:38 - He set the sticks that he had peeled in front of the flocks in the troughs, that is, the watering places, where the flocks came to drink. And since they bred when they came to drink,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:40 - And Jacob separated the lambs and set the faces of the flocks toward the striped and all the black in the flock of Laban. He put his own droves apart and did not put them with Laban's flock.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:41 - Whenever the stronger of the flock were breeding, Jacob would lay the sticks in the troughs before the eyes of the flock, that they might breed among the sticks,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:6 - You know that I have served your father with all my strength,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:10 - In the breeding season of the flock I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream that the goats that mated with the flock were striped, spotted, and mottled.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:13 - I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar and made a vow to me. Now arise, go out from this land and return to the land of your kindred.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:14 - Then Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, “Is there any portion or inheritance left to us in our father's house?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:18 - He drove away all his livestock, all his property that he had gained, the livestock in his possession that he had acquired in Paddan-aram, to go to the land of Canaan to his father Isaac.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:23 - he took his kinsmen with him and pursued him for seven days and followed close after him into the hill country of Gilead.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:25 - And Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban with his kinsmen pitched tents 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 female servants, but he did not find them. And he went out of Leah's tent and entered Rachel's.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:35 - And she said to her father, “Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise before you, for the way of women is upon me.” So he searched but did not find the household gods.
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 have changed my wages ten times.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:54 - and Jacob offered a sacrifice in the hill country and called his kinsmen to eat bread. They ate bread and spent the night in the hill country.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:10 - I am not worthy of the least of all the deeds of steadfast love and all the faithfulness that you have shown to your servant, for with only my staff I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two camps.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:19 - He likewise instructed the second and the third and all who followed the droves, “You shall say the same thing to Esau when you find him,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:20 - and you shall say, ‘Moreover, your servant Jacob is behind us.'” For he thought, “I may appease him[fn] with the present that goes ahead of me, and afterward I shall see his face. Perhaps he will accept me.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:21 - So the present passed on ahead of him, and he himself stayed that night in the camp.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:25 - When the man saw that he did not prevail against Jacob, he touched his hip socket, and Jacob's hip was put out of joint as he wrestled with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:2 - And he put the servants with their children in front, then Leah with her children, and Rachel and Joseph last of all.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:14 - Let my lord pass on ahead of his servant, and I will lead on slowly, at the pace of the livestock that are ahead of me and at the pace of the children, until I come to my lord in Seir.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:16 - So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:18 - And Jacob came safely[fn] to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, on his way from Paddan-aram, and he camped before the city.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:5 - Now Jacob heard that he had defiled his daughter Dinah. But his sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob held his peace until they came.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:7 - The sons of Jacob had come in from the field as soon as they heard of it, and the men were indignant and very angry, because he had done an outrageous thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, for such a thing must not be done.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:10 - You shall dwell with us, and the land shall be open to you. Dwell and trade in it, and get property in it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:15 - Only on this condition will we agree with you—that you will become as we are by every male among you being circumcised.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:19 - And the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob's daughter. Now he was the most honored of all his father's house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:22 - Only on this condition will the men agree to dwell with us to become one people—when every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:23 - Will not their livestock, their property and all their beasts be ours? Only let us agree with them, and they will dwell with us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:25 - On the third day, when they were sore, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and came against the city while it felt secure and killed all the males.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:26 - They killed Hamor and his son Shechem with the sword and took Dinah out of Shechem's house and went away.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:27 - The sons of Jacob came upon the slain and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:28 - They took their flocks and their herds, their donkeys, and whatever was in the city and in the field.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:29 - All their wealth, all their little ones and their wives, all that was in the houses, they captured and plundered.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:30 - Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have brought trouble on me by making me stink to the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites and the Perizzites. My numbers are few, and if they gather themselves against me and attack me, I shall be destroyed, both I and my household.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:1 - God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there. Make an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:3 - Then let us arise and go up to Bethel, so that I may make there an altar to the God who answers me in the day of my distress and has been with me wherever I have gone.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:4 - So they gave to Jacob all the foreign gods that they had, and the rings that were in their ears. Jacob hid them under the terebinth tree that was near Shechem.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:6 - And 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 - and there he built an altar and called the place El-bethel,[fn] because there God had revealed himself to him when he fled from his brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:9 - God appeared[fn] to Jacob again, when he came from Paddan-aram, and blessed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:14 - And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering on it and poured oil on it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:15 - So Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him Bethel.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:16 - Then they journeyed from Bethel. When they were still some distance[fn] from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor, and she had hard labor.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:17 - And when her labor was at its hardest, the midwife said to her, “Do not fear, for you have another son.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:18 - And as her soul was departing (for she was dying), she called his name Ben-oni;[fn] but his father called him Benjamin.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:19 - So Rachel died, and she was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem),
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:22 - While Israel lived in that land, Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine. And Israel heard of it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:26 - The sons of Zilpah, Leah's servant: Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan-aram.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:27 - And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, or Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:5 - and Oholibamah bore Jeush, 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, his sons, his daughters, and all the members of his household, his livestock, all his beasts, and all his property that he had acquired in the land of Canaan. He went into a land away from his brother Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:8 - So Esau settled in the hill country of Seir. (Esau is Edom.)
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:9 - These are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in the hill country of Seir.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:16 - Korah, Gatam, and Amalek; these are the chiefs of 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: the chiefs Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah; these are the chiefs of Reuel in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Basemath, Esau's wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:21 - Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan; these are the chiefs of 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, as he pastured the donkeys of Zibeon his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:30 - Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan; these are the chiefs of the Horites, chief by chief in the land of Seir.

Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:43 - Magdiel, and Iram; these are the chiefs of Edom (that is, Esau, the father of Edom), according to their dwelling places in the land of their possession.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:1 - Jacob lived in the land of his father's sojournings, in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:7 - Behold, we were binding sheaves in the field, and behold, my sheaf arose and stood upright. And behold, your sheaves gathered around it and bowed down to my sheaf.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:13 - And Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers pasturing the flock at Shechem? Come, I will send you to them.” And he said to him, “Here I am.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:15 - And a man found him wandering in the fields. And the man asked him, “What are you seeking?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:17 - And the man said, “They have gone away, 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 - And Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood; throw him into this pit here in the wilderness, but do not lay a hand on him”—that he might rescue him out of their hand to restore him to his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:29 - When Reuben returned to the pit and saw that Joseph was not in the pit, he tore his clothes
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:1 - It happened at that time that Judah went down from his brothers and turned aside to a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:5 - Yet again she bore a son, and she called his name Shelah. Judah[fn] was in Chezib when she bore him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:11 - Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, “Remain a widow in your father's house, till Shelah my son grows up”—for he feared that he would die, like his brothers. So Tamar went and remained in her father's house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:14 - she took off her widow's garments and covered herself with a veil, wrapping herself up, and sat at the entrance to Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah. For she saw that Shelah was grown up, and she had not been given to him in marriage.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:18 - He said, “What pledge shall I give you?” She replied, “Your signet 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 young goat by his friend the Adullamite to take back the pledge from the woman's hand, he did not find her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:21 - And he asked the men of the place, “Where is the cult prostitute[fn] who was at Enaim at the roadside?” And they said, “No cult prostitute has been here.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:24 - About three months later Judah was told, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has been immoral.[fn] Moreover, she is pregnant by immorality.”[fn] And Judah said, “Bring her out, and let her be burned.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:25 - As she was being brought out, she sent word to her father-in-law, “By the man to whom these belong, I am pregnant.” And she said, “Please identify whose these are, the signet and the cord and the staff.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:27 - When the time of her labor came, there were twins in her womb.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:28 - And when she was in labor, 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, and he became a successful man, and he was in the house of his Egyptian master.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:3 - His master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD caused all that he did to succeed in his hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:5 - From the time that he made him overseer in his house and over all that he had, the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had, in house and field.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:8 - But he refused and said to his master's wife, “Behold, because of me my master has no concern about anything in the house, and he has put everything that he has in my charge.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:9 - He is not greater in this house than I am, nor has he kept back anything from me except you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:11 - But one day, when he went into the house to do his work and none of the men of the house was there in the house,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:12 - she caught him by his garment, saying, “Lie with me.” But he left his garment in her hand and fled and got out of the house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:13 - And as soon as she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled out of the house,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:14 - she called to the men of her household and said to them, “See, he has brought among us a Hebrew to laugh at us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:15 - And as soon as he heard that I lifted up my voice and cried out, he left his garment beside me and fled and got out of the house.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:20 - And Joseph's master took him and put him into the prison, the place where the king's prisoners were confined, and he was there in prison.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:22 - And the keeper of the prison put Joseph in charge of all the prisoners who were in the prison. Whatever was done there, he was the one who did it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:23 - The keeper of the prison paid no attention to anything that was in Joseph's charge, because the LORD was with him. And whatever he did, the LORD made it succeed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:3 - and he put them in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison where Joseph was confined.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:4 - The captain of the guard appointed Joseph to be with them, and he attended them. They continued for some time in custody.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:5 - And one night they both dreamed—the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison—each his own dream, and each dream with its own interpretation.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:7 - So he asked Pharaoh's officers who were with him in custody in his master's house, “Why are your faces downcast today?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:9 - So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph and said to him, “In my dream there was a vine before me,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:10 - and on the vine there were three branches. As soon as it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and the clusters ripened into grapes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:11 - Pharaoh's cup was in my hand, and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh's cup and placed the cup in Pharaoh's hand.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:14 - Only remember me, when it is well with you, and please do me the kindness to mention me to Pharaoh, and so get me out of this house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:17 - and in the uppermost basket there were all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, but the birds were eating it out of the basket on my head.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:20 - On the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, he made a feast for all his servants and lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:2 - and behold, there came up out of the Nile seven cows, attractive and plump, and they fed in the reed grass.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:5 - And he fell asleep and dreamed a second time. And behold, seven ears of grain, plump and good, were growing on one stalk.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:10 - When Pharaoh was angry with his servants and put me and the chief baker in custody in the house of the captain of the guard,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:11 - we dreamed on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own interpretation.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:17 - Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Behold, in my dream I was standing on the banks of the Nile.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:18 - Seven cows, plump and attractive, came up out of the Nile and fed in the reed grass.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:19 - Seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I had never seen in all the land of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:22 - I also saw in my dream seven ears growing on one stalk, full and good.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:29 - There will come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:30 - but after them there will arise seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:35 - And let them gather all the food of these good years that are coming and store up grain under the authority of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:36 - That food shall be a reserve for the land against the seven years of famine that are to occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land may not perish through the famine.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:38 - And Pharaoh said to his servants, “Can we find a man like this, in whom is the Spirit of God?”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:47 - During the seven plentiful years the earth produced abundantly,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:48 - and he gathered up all the food of these seven years, which occurred in the land of Egypt, and put the food in the cities. He put in every city the food from the fields around it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:52 - The name of the second he called Ephraim, “For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:53 - The seven years of plenty that occurred in the land of Egypt came to an end,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:54 - and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:57 - Moreover, all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:1 - When Jacob learned that there was grain for sale in Egypt, he said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:2 - And he said, “Behold, I have heard that there is grain for sale in Egypt. Go down and buy grain for us there, that we may live and not die.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:5 - Thus the sons of Israel came to buy among the others who came, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:13 - And they said, “We, your servants, are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan, and behold, the youngest is this day with our father, and one is no more.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:15 - By this you shall 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 - And he put them all together in custody for three days.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:19 - if you are honest men, let one of your brothers remain confined where you are in custody, and let the rest go and carry grain for the famine of your households,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:21 - Then they said to one another, “In truth we are guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he begged us and we did not listen. That is why this distress has come upon us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:28 - He said to his brothers, “My money has been put back; here it is in the mouth of my sack!” At this their hearts failed them, and they turned 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 roughly to us and took us to be spies of the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:32 - We are twelve brothers, sons of our father. One is no more, and the youngest is this day with our father in the land of Canaan.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:33 - Then the man, the lord of the land, said to us, ‘By this I shall know that you are honest men: leave one of your brothers with me, and take grain for the famine of your households, and go your way.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:35 - As they emptied their sacks, behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack. And when they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were afraid.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:38 - But he said, “My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is the only one left. If harm should happen to him on the journey that you are to make, you would bring down my gray hairs with sorrow to Sheol.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:11 - Then their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: take some of the choice fruits of the land in your bags, and carry a present down to the man, a little balm and a little honey, gum, myrrh, pistachio nuts, and almonds.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:12 - Take double the money with you. Carry back with you the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks. Perhaps it was an oversight.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:15 - So the men took this present, and they took double the money with them, and Benjamin. They arose and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:18 - And the men were afraid because they were brought to Joseph's house, and they said, “It is because of the money, which was replaced in our sacks the first time, that we are brought in, so that he may assault us and fall upon us to make us servants and seize our donkeys.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:19 - So they went up to the steward of Joseph's house and spoke with him at the door of the house,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:21 - And when we came to the lodging place we opened our sacks, and there was each man's money in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight. So we have brought it again with us,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:23 - He replied, “Peace to you, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has put treasure in your sacks for you. I received your money.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:26 - When Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present that they had with them and bowed down to him to the ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:5 - Is it not from this that my lord drinks, and by this that he practices divination? You have done evil in doing this.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:8 - Behold, the money that we found in the mouths of our sacks we brought back to you from the land of Canaan. How then could we steal silver or gold from your lord's house?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:12 - And he searched, beginning with the eldest and ending with the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:29 - If you take this one also from me, and harm happens to him, you will bring down my gray hairs in evil to Sheol.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:31 - as soon as he sees that the boy is not with us, he will die, and your servants will bring down the gray hairs of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:6 - For the famine has been in the land these two years, and there are yet five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:10 - You shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you and your children and your children's children, and your flocks, your herds, and all that you have.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:13 - You must tell my father of all my honor in Egypt, and of all that you have seen. Hurry and bring my father down here.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:24 - Then he sent his brothers away, and as they departed, he said to them, “Do not quarrel on the way.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:2 - And God spoke to Israel in visions of the night and said, “Jacob, Jacob.” And he said, “Here I am.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:6 - They also took their livestock and their goods, which they had gained in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob and all his offspring with him,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:12 - The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, Shelah, 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 46:15 - These are the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan-aram, together with his daughter Dinah; altogether his sons and his daughters numbered thirty-three.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:20 - And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera the priest of On, bore to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:27 - And the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt, were two. All the persons of the house of Jacob who came into 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 keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,' in order that you may dwell in the land of Goshen, for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:1 - So Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, “My father and my brothers, with their flocks and herds and all that they possess, have come from the land of Canaan. They are now in the land of Goshen.”

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:4 - and command the people, “You are about to pass through the territory of your brothers, the people of Esau, who live in Seir; and they will be afraid of you. So be very careful.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:5 - Do not contend with them, for I will not give you any of their land, no, not so much as for the sole of the foot to tread on, because I have given Mount Seir to Esau as a possession.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:36 - From Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, as far as Gilead, there was not a city too high for us. The LORD our God gave all into our hands.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:2 - But the LORD said to me, ‘Do not fear him, for I have given him and all his people and his land into your hand. And you shall do to him as you did to Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon.'
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:4 - And we took all his cities at that time—there was not a city that we did not take from them—sixty cities, the whole region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:19 - Only your wives, your little ones, and your livestock (I know that you have much livestock) shall remain in the cities that I have given you,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:20 - until the LORD gives rest to your brothers, as to you, and they also occupy the land that the LORD your God gives them beyond the Jordan. Then each of you may return to his possession which I have given you.'
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:21 - And I commanded Joshua at that time, ‘Your eyes have seen all that the LORD your God has done to these two kings. So will the LORD do to all the kingdoms into which you are crossing.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:23 - “And I pleaded with the LORD at that time, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:24 - ‘O Lord GOD, you have only begun to show your servant your greatness and your mighty hand. For what god is there in heaven or on earth who can do such works and mighty acts as yours?
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:29 - So we remained in the valley opposite Beth-peor.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:5 - See, I have taught you statutes and rules, as the LORD my God commanded me, that you should do them in the land that you are entering to take possession of it.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:7 - For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as the LORD our God is to us, whenever we call upon him?
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:10 - how on the day that you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, the LORD said to me, ‘Gather the people to me, that I may let them hear my words, so that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children so.'
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:14 - And the LORD commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and rules, that you might do them in the land that you are going over to possess.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:15 - “Therefore watch yourselves very carefully. Since you saw no form on the day that the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:18 - the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:20 - But the LORD has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be a people of his own inheritance, as you are this day.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:21 - Furthermore, the LORD was angry with me because of you, and he swore that I should not cross the Jordan, and that I should not enter the good land that the LORD your God is giving you for an inheritance.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:22 - For I must die in this land; I must not go over the Jordan. But you shall go over and take possession of that good land.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:27 - And the LORD will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the LORD will drive you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:29 - But from there you will seek the LORD your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:34 - Or has any god ever attempted to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, and by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great deeds of terror, all of which the LORD your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes?
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:37 - And because he loved your fathers and chose their offspring after them[fn] and brought you out of Egypt with his own presence, by his great power,

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:4 - The LORD spoke with you face to face at the mountain, out of the midst of the fire,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:5 - while I stood between the LORD and you at that time, to declare to you the word of the LORD. For you were afraid because of the fire, and you did not go up into the mountain. He said:
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:8 - “‘You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:29 - Oh that they had such a heart as this always, to fear me and to keep all my commandments, that it might go well with them and with their descendants[fn] forever!
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:31 - But you, stand here by me, and I will tell you the whole commandment and the statutes and the rules that you shall teach them, that they may do them in the land that I am giving them to possess.'
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:33 - You shall walk in all the way that the LORD your God has commanded you, that you may live, and that it may go well with you, and that you may live long in the land that you shall possess.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 6:1 - “Now this is the commandment—the statutes and the rules[fn]—that the LORD your God commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land to which you are going over, to possess it,

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:39 - the men of Israel should turn in battle. Now Benjamin had begun to strike and kill about thirty men of Israel. They said, “Surely they are defeated before us, as in the first battle.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:42 - Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel in the direction of the wilderness, but the battle overtook them. And those who came out of the cities were destroying them in their midst.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 20:45 - And they turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon. Five thousand men of them were cut down in the highways. And they were pursued hard to Gidom, and 2,000 men of them were struck down.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:5 - And the people of Israel said, “Which of all the tribes of Israel did not come up in the assembly to the LORD?” For they had taken a great oath concerning him who did not come up to the LORD to Mizpah, saying, “He shall surely be put to death.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:7 - What shall we do for wives for those who are left, since we have sworn by the LORD that we will not give them any of our daughters for wives?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:10 - So the congregation sent 12,000 of their bravest men there and commanded them, “Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword; also the women and the little ones.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:19 - So they said, “Behold, there is the yearly feast of the LORD at Shiloh, which is north of Bethel, on the east of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebonah.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:20 - And they commanded the people of Benjamin, saying, “Go and lie in ambush in the vineyards
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:21 - and watch. If the daughters of Shiloh come out to dance in the dances, then come out of the vineyards and snatch each man his wife from the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:22 - And when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, we will say to them, ‘Grant them graciously to us, because we did not take for each man of them his wife in battle, neither did you give them to them, else you would now be guilty.'”
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:23 - And the people of Benjamin did so and took their wives, according to their number, from the dancers whom they carried off. Then they went and returned to their inheritance and rebuilt the towns and lived in them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 21:24 - And the people of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and family, and they went out from there every man to his inheritance.

Unchecked Copy BoxRth 2:14 - And at mealtime Boaz said to her, “Come here and eat some bread and dip your morsel in the wine.” So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed to her roasted grain. And she ate until she was satisfied, and she had some left over.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:11 - Samuel said, “What have you done?” And Saul said, “When I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the days appointed, and that the Philistines had mustered at Michmash,

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:19 - Now there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, “Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:23 - So the LORD saved Israel that day. And the battle passed beyond Beth-aven.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:24 - And the men of Israel had been hard pressed that day, so Saul had laid an oath on the people, saying, “Cursed be the man who eats food until it is evening and I am avenged on my enemies.” So none of the people had tasted food.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:27 - But Jonathan had not heard his father charge the people with the oath, so he put out the tip of the staff that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb and put his hand to his mouth, and his eyes became bright.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:33 - Then they told Saul, “Behold, the people are sinning against the LORD by eating with the blood.” And he said, “You have dealt treacherously; roll a great stone to me here.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:34 - And Saul said, “Disperse yourselves among the people and say to them, ‘Let every man bring his ox or his sheep and slaughter them here and eat, and do not sin against the LORD by eating with the blood.'” So every one of the people brought his ox with him that night and they slaughtered them there.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:36 - Then Saul said, “Let us go down after the Philistines by night and plunder them until the morning light; let us not leave a man of them.” And they said, “Do whatever seems good to you.” But the priest said, “Let us draw near to God here.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:38 - And Saul said, “Come here, all you leaders of the people, and know and see how this sin has arisen today.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:41 - Therefore Saul said, “O LORD God of Israel, why have you not answered your servant this day? If this guilt is in me or in Jonathan my son, O LORD, God of Israel, give Urim. But if this guilt is in your people Israel, give Thummim.”[fn] And Jonathan and Saul were taken, but the people escaped.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:43 - Then Saul said to Jonathan, “Tell me what you have done.” And Jonathan told him, “I tasted a little honey with the tip of the staff that was in my hand. Here I am; I will die.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:45 - Then the people said to Saul, “Shall Jonathan die, who has worked this great salvation in Israel? Far from it!

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:39 - and David strapped his sword over his armor. And he tried in vain to go, for he had not tested them. Then David said to Saul, “I cannot go with these, for I have not tested them.” So David put them off.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:40 - Then he took his staff in his hand and chose five smooth stones from the brook and put them in his shepherd's pouch. His sling was in his hand, and he approached the Philistine.

“Saul has struck down his thousands,

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:23 - And Saul's servants spoke those words in the ears of David. And David said, “Does it seem to you a little thing to become the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man and have no reputation?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:25 - Then Saul said, “Thus shall you say to David, ‘The king desires no bride-price except a hundred foreskins of the Philistines, that he may be avenged of the king's enemies.'” Now Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:27 - David arose and went, along with his men, and killed two hundred of the Philistines. And David brought their foreskins, which were given in full number to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for a wife.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:5 - For he took his life in his hand and he struck down the Philistine, and the LORD worked a great salvation for all Israel. You saw it, and rejoiced. Why then will you sin against innocent blood by killing David without cause?”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:19 - And it was told Saul, “Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:22 - Then he himself went to Ramah and came to the great well that is in Secu. And he asked, “Where are Samuel and David?” And one said, “Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:24 - And he too stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel and lay naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, “Is Saul also among the prophets?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:1 - Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah and came and said before Jonathan, “What have I done? What is my guilt? And what is my sin before your father, that he seeks my life?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:3 - But David vowed again, saying, “Your father knows well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he thinks, ‘Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved.' But truly, as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:5 - David said to Jonathan, “Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I should not fail to sit at table with the king. But let me go, that I may hide myself in the field till the third day at evening.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:8 - Therefore deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you. But if there is guilt in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:15 - and do not cut off[fn] your steadfast love from my house forever, when the LORD cuts off every one of the enemies of David from the face of the earth.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:19 - On the third day go down quickly to the place where you hid yourself when the matter was in hand, and remain beside the stone heap.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:24 - So David hid himself in the field. And when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat food.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:26 - Yet Saul did not say anything that day, for he thought, “Something has happened to him. He is not clean; surely he is not clean.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:29 - He said, ‘Let me go, for our clan holds a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to be there. So now, if I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away and see my brothers.' For this reason he has not come to the king's table.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:34 - And Jonathan rose from the table in fierce anger and ate no food the second day of the month, for he was grieved for David, because his father had disgraced him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:36 - And he said to his boy, “Run and find the arrows that I shoot.” As the boy ran, he shot an arrow beyond him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:42 - Then Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, because we have sworn both of us in the name of the LORD, saying, ‘The LORD shall be between me and you, and between my offspring and your offspring, forever.'” And he rose and departed, and Jonathan went into the city.[fn]
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:2 - And David said to Ahimelech the priest, “The king has charged me with a matter and said to me, ‘Let no one know anything of the matter about which I send you, and with which I have charged you.' I have made an appointment with the young men for such and such a place.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:5 - And David answered the priest, “Truly women have been kept from us as always when I go on an expedition. The vessels of the young men are holy even when it is an ordinary journey. How much more today will their vessels be holy?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:7 - Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD. His name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief of Saul's herdsmen.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:8 - Then David said to Ahimelech, “Then have you not here a spear or a sword at hand? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's business required haste.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:9 - And the priest said, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck down in the Valley of Elah, behold, it is here wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that, take it, for there is none but that here.” And David said, “There is none like that; give it to me.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:10 - And David rose and fled that day from Saul and went to Achish the king of Gath.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:11 - And the servants of Achish said to him, “Is not this David the king of the land? Did they not sing to one another of him in dances,

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:13 - So he changed his behavior before them and pretended to be insane in their hands and made marks on the doors of the gate and let his spittle run down his beard.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:2 - And everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was bitter in soul,[fn] gathered to him. And he became commander over them. And there were with him about four hundred men.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:4 - And he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:5 - Then the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not remain in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah.” So David departed and went into the forest of Hereth.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:6 - Now Saul heard that David was discovered, and the men who were with him. Saul was sitting at Gibeah under the tamarisk tree on the height with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing about him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:8 - that all of you have conspired against me? No one discloses to me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you is sorry for me or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as at this day.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:11 - Then the king sent to summon Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's house, the priests who were at Nob, and all of them came to the king.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:14 - Then Ahimelech answered the king, “And who among all your servants is so faithful as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and captain over[fn] your bodyguard, and honored in your house?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:15 - Is today the first time that I have inquired of God for him? No! Let not the king impute anything to his servant or to all the house of my father, for your servant has known nothing of all this, much or little.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:18 - Then the king said to Doeg, “You turn and strike the priests.” And Doeg the Edomite turned and struck down the priests, and he killed on that day eighty-five persons who wore the linen ephod.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:19 - And Nob, the city of the priests, he put to the sword; both man and woman, child and infant, ox, donkey and sheep, he put to the sword.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:22 - And David said to Abiathar, “I knew on that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would surely tell Saul. I have occasioned the death of all the persons of your father's house.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:1 - Now they told David, “Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah and are robbing the threshing floors.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:2 - Therefore David inquired of the LORD, “Shall I go and attack these Philistines?” And the LORD said to David, “Go and attack the Philistines and save 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 armies of the Philistines?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:5 - And David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines and brought away their livestock and struck them with a great blow. So David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:6 - When Abiathar the son of Ahimelech had fled to David to Keilah, he had come down with an ephod in his hand.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:14 - And David remained in the strongholds in the wilderness, in the hill country of the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not give him into his hand.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:15 - David saw that Saul had come out to seek his life. David was in the wilderness of Ziph at Horesh.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:16 - And Jonathan, Saul's son, rose and went to David at Horesh, and strengthened his hand in God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:18 - And the two of them made a covenant before the LORD. David remained at Horesh, and Jonathan went home.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:19 - Then the Ziphites went up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, “Is not David hiding among us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah, which is south of Jeshimon?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:22 - Go, make yet more sure. Know and see the place where his foot is, and who has seen him there, for it is told me that he is very cunning.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:23 - See therefore and take note of all the lurking places where he hides, and come back to me with sure information. Then 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 - And they arose and went to Ziph ahead of Saul. Now David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah to the south of Jeshimon.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:25 - And Saul and his men went to seek him. And David was told, so he went down to the rock and lived in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued after David in the wilderness of Maon.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:29 - [fn] And David went up from there and lived in the strongholds of Engedi.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:1 - [fn] When Saul returned from following the Philistines, he was told, “Behold, David is in the wilderness of Engedi.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:4 - And the men of David said to him, “Here is the day of which the LORD said to you, ‘Behold, I will give your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it shall seem good to you.'” Then David arose and stealthily cut off a corner of Saul's robe.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:7 - So David persuaded his men with these words and did not permit them to attack Saul. And Saul rose up and left the cave and went on his way.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:10 - Behold, this day your eyes have seen how the LORD gave you today into my hand in the cave. And some told me to kill you, but I spared you.[fn] I said, ‘I will not put out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD's anointed.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:11 - See, my father, see the corner of your robe in my hand. For by the fact that I cut off the corner of your robe and did not kill you, you may know and see that there is no wrong or treason in my hands. I have not sinned against you, though you hunt my life to take it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:19 - For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away safe? So may the LORD reward you with good for what you have done to me this day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:20 - And now, behold, I know that you shall surely be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:21 - Swear to me therefore by the LORD that you will not cut off my offspring after me, and that you will not destroy my name out of my father's house.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:1 - Now Samuel died. And all Israel assembled and mourned for him, and they buried him in his house at Ramah. Then David rose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:17 - The LORD has done to you as he spoke by me, for the LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, David.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:4 - But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with him. And the commanders of the Philistines said to him, “Send the man back, that he may return to the place to which you have assigned him. He shall not go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become an adversary to us. For how could this fellow reconcile himself to his lord? Would it not be with the heads of the men here?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:5 - Is not this David, of whom they sing to one another in dances,
‘Saul has struck down his thousands,
and David his ten thousands'?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:6 - Then Achish called David and said to him, “As the LORD lives, you have been honest, and to me it seems right that you should march out and in with me in the campaign.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:7 - So go back now; and go peaceably, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:8 - And David said to Achish, “But what have I done? What have you found in your servant from the day I entered your service until now, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:9 - And Achish answered David and said, “I know that you are as blameless in my sight as an angel of God. Nevertheless, the commanders of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.'

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:8 - And I gave you your master's house and your master's wives into your arms and gave you the house of Israel and of Judah. And if this were too little, I would add to you as much more.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 14:30 - Then he said to his servants, “See, Joab's field is next to mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire.” So Absalom's servants set the field on fire.[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 16:2 - And the king said to Ziba, “Why have you brought these?” Ziba answered, “The donkeys are for the king's household to ride on, the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine for those who faint in the wilderness to drink.”

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:5 - Then Absalom said, “Call Hushai the Archite also, and let us hear what he has to say.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:8 - Hushai said, “You know that your father and his men are mighty men, and that they are enraged,[fn] like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. Besides, your father is expert in war; he will not spend the night with the people.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:9 - Behold, even now he has hidden himself in one of the pits or in some other place. And as soon as some of the people fall[fn] at the first attack, whoever hears it will say, ‘There has been a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.'
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:11 - But my counsel is that all Israel be gathered to you, from Dan to Beersheba, as the sand by the sea for multitude, and that you go to battle in person.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:12 - So we shall come upon him in some place where he is to be found, and we shall light upon him as the dew falls on the ground, and of him and all the men with him not one will be left.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:16 - Now therefore send quickly and tell David, ‘Do not stay tonight at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means pass over, lest the king and all the people who are with him be swallowed up.'”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:17 - Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were waiting at En-rogel. A female servant was to go and tell them, and they were to go and tell King David, for they were not to be seen entering the city.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:18 - But a young man saw them and told Absalom. So both of them went away quickly and came to the house of a man at Bahurim, who had a well in his courtyard. And they went down into it.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 17:23 - When Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey and went off home to his own city. He set his house in order and hanged himself, and he died and was buried in the tomb of his father.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:2 - And David sent out the army, one third under the command of Joab, one third under the command of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, and one third under the command of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the men, “I myself will also go out with you.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:3 - But the men said, “You shall not go out. For if we flee, they will not care about us. If half of us die, they will not care about us. But you are worth ten thousand of us. Therefore it is better that you send us help from the city.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:4 - The king said to them, “Whatever seems best to you I will do.” So the king stood at the side of the gate, while all the army marched out by hundreds and by thousands.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:8 - The battle spread over the face of all the country, and the forest devoured more people that day than the sword.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:9 - And Absalom happened to meet the servants of David.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:10 - And a certain man saw it and told Joab, “Behold, I saw Absalom hanging in an oak.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:12 - But the man said to Joab, “Even if I felt in my hand the weight of a thousand pieces of silver, I would not reach out my hand against the king's son, for in our hearing the king commanded you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘For my sake protect the young man Absalom.'
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:13 - On the other hand, if I had dealt treacherously against his life[fn] (and there is nothing hidden from the king), then you yourself would have stood aloof.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:14 - Joab said, “I will not waste time like this with you.” And he took three javelins in his hand and thrust them into the heart of Absalom while he was still alive in the oak.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:16 - Then Joab blew the trumpet, and the troops came back from pursuing Israel, for Joab restrained them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:17 - And they took Absalom and threw him into a great pit in the forest and raised over him a very great heap of stones. And all Israel fled every one to his own home.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:18 - Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself the pillar that is in the King's Valley, for he said, “I have no son to keep my name in remembrance.” He called the pillar after his own name, and it is called Absalom's monument[fn] to this day.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:20 - And Joab said to him, “You are not to carry news today. You may carry news another day, but today you shall carry no news, because the king's son is dead.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:25 - The watchman called out and told the king. And the king said, “If he is alone, there is news in his mouth.” And he drew nearer and nearer.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:28 - Then Ahimaaz cried out to the king, “All is well.” And he bowed before the king with his face to the earth and said, “Blessed be the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who raised their hand against my lord the king.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 18:33 - [fn] And the king was deeply moved and went up to the chamber over the gate and wept. And as he went, he said, “O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! Would I had died instead of you, O Absalom, my son, my son!”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:2 - So the victory that day was turned into mourning for all the people, for the people heard that day, “The king is grieving for his son.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:3 - And the people stole into the city that day as people steal in who are ashamed when they flee in battle.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:6 - because you love those who hate you and hate those who love you. For you have made it clear today that commanders and servants are nothing to you, for today I know that if Absalom were alive and all of us were dead today, then you would be pleased.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:7 - Now therefore arise, go out and speak kindly to your servants, for I swear by the LORD, if you do not go, not a man will stay with you this night, 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 - Then the king arose and took his seat in the gate. And the people were all told, “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate.” And all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled every man to his own home.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:9 - And all the people were arguing throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, “The king delivered us from the hand of our enemies and saved us from the hand of the Philistines, and now he has fled out of the land from Absalom.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:10 - But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, is dead in battle. Now therefore why do you say nothing about bringing the king back?”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:18 - and they crossed the ford to bring over the king's household and to do his pleasure. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king, as he was about to cross the Jordan,
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:19 - and said to the king, “Let not my lord hold me guilty or remember how your servant did wrong on the day my lord the king left Jerusalem. Do not let the king take it to heart.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:24 - And Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king. He had neither taken care of his feet nor trimmed his beard nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came back in safety.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:27 - He has slandered your servant to my lord the king. But my lord the king is like the angel of God; do therefore what seems good to you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:28 - For all my father's house were but men doomed to death before my lord the king, but you set your servant among those who eat at your table. What further right have I, then, to cry to the king?”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:30 - And Mephibosheth said to the king, “Oh, let him take it all, since my lord the king has come safely home.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:32 - Barzillai was a very aged man, eighty years old. He had provided the king with food while he stayed at Mahanaim, for he was a very wealthy man.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:33 - And the king said to Barzillai, “Come over with me, and I will provide for you with me in Jerusalem.”
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. But here is your servant Chimham. Let him go over with my lord the king, and do for him whatever seems good to you.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:38 - And the king answered, “Chimham shall go over with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you, and all that you desire of me I will do for you.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 19:43 - And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, “We have ten shares in the king, and in David also we have more than you. Why then did you despise us? Were we not the first to speak of bringing back our king?” But the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:1 - Now there happened to be there a worthless man, whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjaminite. And he blew the trumpet and said,
“We have no portion in David,
and we have no inheritance in the son of Jesse;
every man to his tents, O Israel!”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:3 - And David came to his house at Jerusalem. And the king took the ten concubines whom he had left to care for the house and put them in a house under guard and provided for them, but did not go in to them.

Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:8 - When they were at the great stone that is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Now Joab was wearing a soldier's garment, and over it was a belt with a sword in its sheath fastened on his thigh, and as he went forward it fell out.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:10 - But Amasa did not observe the sword that was in Joab's hand. So Joab struck him with it in the stomach and spilled his entrails to the ground without striking a second blow, and he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:12 - And Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the highway. And anyone who came by, seeing him, stopped. And when the man saw that all the people stopped, he carried Amasa out of the highway into the field and threw a garment over him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:14 - And Sheba passed through all the tribes of Israel to Abel of Beth-maacah,[fn] and all the Bichrites[fn] assembled and followed him in.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:15 - And all the men who were with Joab came and besieged him in Abel of Beth-maacah. They cast up a mound against the city, and it stood against the rampart, and they were battering the wall to throw it down.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:18 - Then she said, “They used to say in former times, ‘Let them but ask counsel at Abel,' and so they settled a matter.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:19 - I am one of those who are peaceable and faithful in Israel. You seek to destroy a city that is a mother in Israel. Why will you swallow up the heritage of the LORD?”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 20:22 - Then the woman went to all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri and threw it out to Joab. So he blew the trumpet, and they dispersed from the city, every man to his home. And Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 21:1 - Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year. And David sought the face of the LORD. And the LORD said, “There is bloodguilt on Saul and on his house, because he put the Gibeonites to death.”
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 21:2 - So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not of the people of Israel but of the remnant of the Amorites.

like the slain that lie in the grave,
like those whom you remember no more,

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 88:6 - You have put me in the depths of the pit,
in the regions dark and deep.

his neck was put in a collar of iron;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 105:23 - Then Israel came to Egypt;

and gnats throughout their country.

who do righteousness at all times!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:4 - Remember me, O LORD, when you show favor to your people;
help me when you save them,[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:5 - that I may look upon the prosperity of your chosen ones,
that I may rejoice in the gladness of your nation,
that I may glory with your inheritance.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:7 - Our fathers, when they were in Egypt,
did not consider your wondrous works;

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:9 - He rebuked the Red Sea, and it became dry,
and he led them through the deep as through a desert.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:12 - Then they believed his words;
they sang his praise.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:14 - But they had a wanton craving in the wilderness,
and put God to the test in the desert;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:16 - When men in the camp were jealous of Moses
and Aaron, the holy one of the LORD,
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:18 - Fire also broke out in their company;

for the image of an ox that eats grass.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:21 - They forgot God, their Savior,

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:22 - wondrous works in the land of Ham,
and awesome deeds by the Red Sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:23 - Therefore he said he would destroy them—
had not Moses, his chosen one,
stood in the breach before him,
to turn away his wrath from destroying them.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:25 - They murmured in their tents,
and did not obey the voice of the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:26 - Therefore he raised his hand and swore to them
that he would make them fall in the wilderness,
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:27 - and would make their offspring fall among the nations,
scattering them among the lands.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:29 - they provoked the LORD to anger with their deeds,
and a plague broke out among them.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:33 - for they made his spirit bitter,[fn]
and he spoke rashly with his lips.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:35 - but they mixed with the nations
and learned to do as they did.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:38 - they poured out innocent blood,
the blood of their sons and daughters,
whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan,
and the land was polluted with blood.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:39 - Thus they became unclean by their acts,
and played the whore in their deeds.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:43 - Many times he delivered them,
but they were rebellious in their purposes
and were brought low through their iniquity.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:44 - Nevertheless, he looked upon their distress,
when he heard their cry.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:47 - Save us, O LORD our God,
and gather us from among the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name
and glory in your praise.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:4 - Some wandered in desert wastes,
finding no way to a city to dwell in;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:5 - hungry and thirsty,
their soul fainted within them.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:6 - Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:10 - Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death,
prisoners in affliction and in irons,
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:12 - So he bowed their hearts down with hard labor;
they fell down, with none to help.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:13 - Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:19 - Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:22 - And let them offer sacrifices of thanksgiving,
and tell of his deeds in songs of joy!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:23 - Some went down to the sea in ships,
doing business on the great waters;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:24 - they saw the deeds of the LORD,
his wondrous works in the deep.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:26 - They mounted up to heaven; they went down to the depths;
their courage melted away in their evil plight;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:28 - Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble,
and he delivered them from their distress.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:32 - Let them extol him in the congregation of the people,
and praise him in the assembly of the elders.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:34 - a fruitful land into a salty waste,
because of the evil of its inhabitants.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:40 - he pours contempt on princes
and makes them wander in trackless wastes;
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 108:1 - A Song. A Psalm of David.
My heart is steadfast, O God!
I will sing and make melody with all my being![fn]

“With exultation I will divide up Shechem
and portion out the Valley of Succoth.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 108:11 - Have you not rejected us, O God?
You do not go out, O God, with our armies.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 108:13 - With God we shall do valiantly;
it is he who will tread down our foes.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:7 - When he is tried, let him come forth guilty;
let his prayer be counted as sin!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:13 - May his posterity be cut off;
may his name be blotted out in the second generation!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:18 - He clothed himself with cursing as his coat;

but those who seek the LORD understand it completely.

but a righteous man sings and rejoices.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 29:14 - If a king faithfully judges the poor,
his throne will be established forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 29:20 - Do you see a man who is hasty in his words?
There is more hope for a fool than for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:2 - Surely I am too stupid to be a man.
I have not the understanding of a man.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:4 - Who has ascended to heaven and come down?
Who has gathered the wind in his fists?
Who has wrapped up the waters in a garment?
Who has established all the ends of the earth?
What is his name, and what is his son's name?
Surely you know!
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:19 - the way of an eagle in the sky,
the way of a serpent on a rock,
the way of a ship on the high seas,
and the way of a man with a virgin.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:26 - the rock badgers are a people not mighty,
yet they make their homes in the cliffs;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:28 - the lizard you can take in your hands,
yet it is in kings' palaces.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:31 - the strutting rooster,[fn] the he-goat,
and a king whose army is with him.[fn]

and wine to those in bitter distress;[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 31:21 - She is not afraid of snow for her household,
for all her household are clothed in scarlet.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 31:23 - Her husband is known in the gates
when he sits among the elders of the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 31:26 - She opens her mouth with wisdom,
and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 31:31 - Give her of the fruit of her hands,
and let her works praise her in the gates.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:1 - The words of the Preacher,[fn] the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:3 - What does man gain by all the toil
at which he toils under the sun?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:10 - Is there a thing of which it is said,
“See, this is new”?
It has been already
in the ages before us.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:12 - I the Preacher have been king over Israel in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:13 - And I applied my heart[fn] to seek and to search out by wisdom all that is done under heaven. It is an unhappy business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:16 - I said in my heart, “I have acquired great wisdom, surpassing all who were over Jerusalem before me, and my heart has had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:18 - For in much wisdom is much vexation,
and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:1 - I said in my heart, “Come now, I will test you with pleasure; enjoy yourself.” But behold, this also was vanity.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:3 - I searched with my heart how to cheer my body with wine—my heart still guiding me with wisdom—and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the children of man to do under heaven during the few days of their life.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:5 - I made myself gardens and parks, and planted in them all kinds of fruit trees.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:7 - I bought male and female slaves, and had slaves who were born in my house. I had also great possessions of herds and flocks, more than any who had been before me in Jerusalem.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:9 - So I became great and surpassed all who were before me in Jerusalem. Also my wisdom remained with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:10 - And whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I kept my heart from no pleasure, for my heart found pleasure in all my toil, and this was my reward for all my toil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:11 - Then I considered all that my hands had done and the toil I had expended in doing it, and behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was nothing to be gained under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:14 - The wise person has his eyes in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. And yet I perceived that the same event happens to all of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:15 - Then I said in my heart, “What happens to the fool will happen to me also. Why then have I been so very wise?” And I said in my heart that this also is vanity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:19 - and who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:21 - because sometimes a person who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave everything to be enjoyed by someone who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:22 - What has a man from all the toil and striving of heart with which he toils beneath the sun?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:23 - For all his days are full of sorrow, and his work is a vexation. Even in the night his heart does not rest. This also is vanity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:24 - There is nothing better for a person than that he should eat and drink and find enjoyment[fn] in his toil. This also, I saw, is from the hand of God,
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:9 - What gain has the worker from his toil?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:10 - I have seen the business that God has given to the children of man to be busy with.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:11 - He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also, he has put eternity into man's heart, yet so that he cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:12 - I perceived that there is nothing better for them than to be joyful and to do good as long as they live;
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:13 - also that everyone should eat and drink and take pleasure in all his toil—this is God's gift to man.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:17 - I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked, for there is a time for every matter and for every work.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:18 - I said in my heart with regard to the children of man that God is testing them that they may see that they themselves are but beasts.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:22 - So I saw that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his work, for that is his lot. Who can bring him to see what will be after him?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:9 - Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:14 - For he went from prison to the throne, though in his own kingdom he had been born poor.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:16 - There was no end of all the people, all of whom he led. Yet those who come later will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:1 - [fn] Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. To draw near to listen is better than to offer the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they are doing evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:2 - [fn] Be not rash with your mouth, nor let your heart be hasty to utter a word before God, for God is in heaven and you are on earth. Therefore let your words be few.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:3 - For a dream comes with much business, and a fool's voice with many words.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:4 - When you vow a vow to God, do not delay paying it, for he has no pleasure in fools. Pay what you vow.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:7 - For when dreams increase and words grow many, there is vanity;[fn] but[fn] God is the one you must fear.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:8 - If you see in a province the oppression of the poor and the violation of justice and righteousness, do not be amazed at the matter, for the high official is watched by a higher, and there are yet higher ones over them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:9 - But this is gain for a land in every way: a king committed to cultivated fields.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:10 - He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves wealth with his income; this also is vanity.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:11 - When goods increase, they increase who eat them, and what advantage has their owner but to see them with his eyes?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:14 - and those riches were lost in a bad venture. And he is father of a son, but he has nothing in his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:15 - As he came from his mother's womb he shall go again, naked as he came, and shall take nothing for his toil that he may carry away in his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:17 - Moreover, all his days he eats in darkness in much vexation and sickness and anger.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:18 - Behold, what I have seen to be good and fitting is to eat and drink and find enjoyment[fn] in all the toil with which one toils under the sun the few days of his life that God has given him, for this is his lot.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:19 - Everyone also to whom God has given wealth and possessions and power to enjoy them, and to accept his lot and rejoice in his toil—this is the gift of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:20 - For he will not much remember the days of his life because God keeps him occupied with joy in his heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:4 - For it comes in vanity and goes in darkness, and in darkness its name is covered.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:12 - For who knows what is good for man while he lives the few days of his vain[fn] life, which he passes like a shadow? For who can tell man what will be after him under the sun?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:3 - Sorrow is better than laughter,
for by sadness of face the heart is made glad.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:4 - The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning,
but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:9 - Be not quick in your spirit to become angry,
for anger lodges in the heart[fn] of fools.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:10 - Say not, “Why were the former days better than these?”
For it is not from wisdom that you ask this.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:12 - For the protection of wisdom is like the protection of money,
and the advantage of knowledge is that wisdom preserves the life of him who has it.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:14 - In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider: God has made the one as well as the other, so that man may not find out anything that will be after him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:15 - In my vain[fn] life I have seen everything. There is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evildoing.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:17 - Be not overly wicked, neither be a fool. Why should you die before your time?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:18 - It is good that you should take hold of this, and from that withhold not your hand, for the one who fears God shall come out from both of them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:19 - Wisdom gives strength to the wise man more than ten rulers who are in a city.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:20 - Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:23 - All this I have tested by wisdom. I said, “I will be wise,” but it was far from me.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:26 - And I find something more bitter than death: the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are fetters. He who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is taken by her.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:28 - which my soul has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. One man among a thousand I found, but a woman among all these I have not found.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:3 - Be not hasty to go from his presence. Do not take your stand in an evil cause, for he does whatever he pleases.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:8 - No man has power to retain the spirit, or power over the day of death. There is no discharge from war, nor will wickedness deliver those who are given to it.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:9 - All this I observed while applying my heart to all that is done under the sun, when man had power over man to his hurt.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:10 - Then I saw the wicked buried. They used to go in and out of the holy place and were praised[fn] in the city where they had done such things. This also is vanity.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:11 - Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:13 - But it will not be well with the wicked, neither will he prolong his days like a shadow, because he does not fear before God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:15 - And I commend joy, for man has nothing better under the sun but to eat and drink and be joyful, for this will go with him in his toil through the days of his life that God has given him under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:16 - When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on earth, how neither day nor night do one's eyes see sleep,
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:1 - But all this I laid to heart, examining it all, how the righteous and the wise and their deeds are in the hand of God. Whether it is love or hate, man does not know; both are before him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:2 - It is the same for all, since the same event happens to the righteous and the wicked, to the good and the evil,[fn] to the clean and the unclean, to him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As the good one is, so is the sinner, and he who swears is as he who shuns an oath.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:3 - This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that the same event happens to all. Also, the hearts of the children of man are full of evil, and madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:6 - Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished, and forever they have no more share in all that is done under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:7 - Go, eat your bread with joy, and drink your wine with a merry heart, for God has already approved what you do.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:8 - Let your garments be always white. Let not oil be lacking on your head.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:9 - Enjoy life with the wife whom you love, all the days of your vain[fn] life that he has given you under the sun, because that is your portion in life and in your toil at which you toil under the sun.

Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:4 - and the doors on the street are shut—when the sound of the grinding is low, and one rises up at the sound of a bird, and all the daughters of song are brought low—

When I restore the fortunes of my people,
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 7:1 - when I would heal Israel,
the iniquity of Ephraim is revealed,
and the evil deeds of Samaria,

and the bandits raid outside.

and the princes by their treachery.

their princes shall fall by the sword
because of the insolence of their tongue.
This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

a craftsman made it;
it is not God.
The calf of Samaria
shall be broken to pieces.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 8:8 - Israel is swallowed up;

as a useless vessel.

because of the tribute.

but Egypt shall gather them;
Memphis shall bury them.
Nettles shall possess their precious things of silver;
thorns shall be in their tents.

yet a fowler's snare is on all his ways,
and hatred in the house of his God.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:10 - Like grapes in the wilderness,
I found Israel.
Like the first fruit on the fig tree
in its first season,

and became detestable like the thing they loved.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 9:17 - My God will reject them
because they have not listened to him;
they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 10:6 - The thing itself shall be carried to Assyria
as tribute to the great king.[fn]
Ephraim shall be put to shame,
and Israel shall be ashamed of his idol.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 10:9 - From the days of Gibeah, you have sinned, O Israel;
there they have continued.
Shall not the war against the unjust[fn] overtake them in Gibeah?
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 10:10 - When I please, I will discipline them,
and nations shall be gathered against them
when they are bound up for their double iniquity.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 10:13 - You have plowed iniquity;
you have reaped injustice;
you have eaten the fruit of lies.
Because you have trusted in your own way
and in the multitude of your warriors,
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 10:14 - therefore the tumult of war shall arise among your people,

as Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel on the day of battle;
mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:4 - I led them with cords of kindness,[fn]
with the bands of love,
and I became to them as one who eases the yoke on their jaws,
and I bent down to them and fed them.

but Assyria shall be their king,
because they have refused to return to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:6 - The sword shall rage against their cities,
consume the bars of their gates,
and devour them because of their own counsels.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:8 - How can I give you up, O Ephraim?
How can I hand you over, O Israel?
How can I make you like Admah?
How can I treat you like Zeboiim?
My heart recoils within me;
my compassion grows warm and tender.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:9 - I will not execute my burning anger;
I will not again destroy Ephraim;
for I am God and not a man,
the Holy One in your midst,
and I will not come in wrath.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 11:12 - [fn] Ephraim has surrounded me with lies,
and the house of Israel with deceit,
but Judah still walks with God
and is faithful to the Holy One.

hold fast to love and justice,
and wait continually for your God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 12:7 - A merchant, in whose hands are false balances,
he loves to oppress.

from the land of Egypt;

Unchecked Copy BoxHos 12:10 - I spoke to the prophets;
it was I who multiplied visions,
and through the prophets gave parables.

and by a prophet he was guarded.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:1 - When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling;
he was exalted in Israel,
but he incurred guilt through Baal and died.

in the land of drought;
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 13:10 - Where now is your king, to save you in all your cities?
Where are all your rulers—
those of whom you said,
“Give me a king and princes”?

and I took him away in my wrath.

at the opening of the womb.

for you have stumbled because of your iniquity.
Unchecked Copy BoxHos 14:3 - Assyria shall not save us;
we will not ride on horses;
and we will say no more, ‘Our God,'
to the work of our hands.
In you the orphan finds mercy.”

for the ways of the LORD are right,
and the upright walk in them,
but transgressors stumble in them.

Has such a thing happened in your days,
or in the days of your fathers?
Unchecked Copy BoxJoe 1:13 - Put on sackcloth and lament, O priests;

in the assembly of the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 2:12 - I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob;

like sheep in a fold,
like a flock in its pasture,
a noisy multitude of men.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 3:4 - Then they will cry to the LORD,
but he will not answer them;

because they have made their deeds evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 3:5 - Thus says the LORD concerning the prophets
who lead my people astray,
who cry “Peace”
when they have something to eat,
but declare war against him
who puts nothing into their mouths.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 3:8 - But as for me, I am filled with power,
with the Spirit of the LORD,
and with justice and might,
to declare to Jacob his transgression
and to Israel his sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 3:10 - who build Zion with blood
and Jerusalem with iniquity.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 3:11 - Its heads give judgment for a bribe;
its priests teach for a price;
its prophets practice divination for money;
yet they lean on the LORD and say,
“Is not the LORD in the midst of us?
No disaster shall come upon us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 4:2 - and many nations shall come, and say:
“Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD,
to the house of the God of Jacob,

and that we may walk in his paths.”
For out of Zion shall go forth the law,[fn]
and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

each in the name of its god,

and those whom I have afflicted;

and the LORD will reign over them in Mount Zion
from this time forth and forevermore.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 4:10 - Writhe and groan,[fn] O daughter of Zion,
like a woman in labor,
for now you shall go out from the city
and dwell in the open country;
you shall go to Babylon.
There you shall be rescued;
there the LORD will redeem you
from the hand of your enemies.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 4:13 - Arise and thresh,
O daughter of Zion,
for I will make your horn iron,
and I will make your hoofs bronze;
you shall beat in pieces many peoples;
and shall devote[fn] their gain to the LORD,
their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 5:1 - [fn] Now muster your troops, O daughter[fn] of troops;
siege is laid against us;
with a rod they strike the judge of Israel
on the cheek.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 5:2 - [fn] But you, O Bethlehem Ephrathah,
who are too little to be among the clans of Judah,
from you shall come forth for me
one who is to be ruler in Israel,
whose coming forth is from of old,
from ancient days.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 5:4 - And he shall stand and shepherd his flock in the strength of the LORD,
in the majesty of the name of the LORD his God.
And they shall dwell secure, for now he shall be great
to the ends of the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 5:6 - they shall shepherd the land of Assyria with the sword,
and the land of Nimrod at its entrances;
and he shall deliver us from the Assyrian
when he comes into our land
and treads within our border.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 5:7 - Then the remnant of Jacob shall be
in the midst of many peoples
like dew from the LORD,
like showers on the grass,
which delay not for a man
nor wait for the children of man.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 5:8 - And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations,
in the midst of many peoples,
like a lion among the beasts of the forest,
like a young lion among the flocks of sheep,
which, when it goes through, treads down
and tears in pieces, and there is none to deliver.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 5:10 - And in that day, declares the LORD,
I will cut off your horses from among you
and will destroy your chariots;
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 5:12 - and I will cut off sorceries from your hand,
and you shall have no more tellers of fortunes;
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 5:15 - And in anger and wrath I will execute vengeance
on the nations that did not obey.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 6:6 - “With what shall I come before the LORD,
and bow myself before God on high?
Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,
with calves a year old?
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 6:7 - Will the LORD be pleased with[fn] thousands of rams,
with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,
the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 6:11 - Shall I acquit the man with wicked scales
and with a bag of deceitful weights?
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 6:12 - Your[fn] rich men are full of violence;
your inhabitants speak lies,
and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 6:14 - You shall eat, but not be satisfied,
and there shall be hunger within you;
you shall put away, but not preserve,
and what you preserve I will give to the sword.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 6:16 - For you have kept the statutes of Omri,[fn]
and all the works of the house of Ahab;
and you have walked in their counsels,
that I may make you a desolation, and your[fn] inhabitants a hissing;
so you shall bear the scorn of my people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:1 - Woe is me! For I have become
as when the summer fruit has been gathered,
as when the grapes have been gleaned:
there is no cluster to eat,
no first-ripe fig that my soul desires.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:2 - The godly has perished from the earth,
and there is no one upright among mankind;
they all lie in wait for blood,
and each hunts the other with a net.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:4 - The best of them is like a brier,
the most upright of them a thorn hedge.
The day of your watchmen, of your punishment, has come;
now their confusion is at hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:5 - Put no trust in a neighbor;
have no confidence in a friend;
guard the doors of your mouth
from her who lies in your arms;[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:6 - for the son treats the father with contempt,
the daughter rises up against her mother,
the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law;
a man's enemies are the men of his own house.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:8 - Rejoice not over me, O my enemy;
when I fall, I shall rise;
when I sit in darkness,
the LORD will be a light to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:10 - Then my enemy will see,
and shame will cover her who said to me,
“Where is the LORD your God?”
My eyes will look upon her;
now she will be trampled down
like the mire of the streets.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:14 - Shepherd your people with your staff,
the flock of your inheritance,
who dwell alone in a forest
in the midst of a garden land;[fn]
let them graze in Bashan and Gilead
as in the days of old.
Unchecked Copy BoxMic 7:17 - they shall lick the dust like a serpent,
like the crawling things of the earth;
they shall come trembling out of their strongholds;
they shall turn in dread to the LORD our God,
and they shall be in fear of you.
Unchecked Copy BoxNah 1:3 - The LORD is slow to anger and great in power,
and the LORD will by no means clear the guilty.
His way is in whirlwind and storm,
and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxNah 1:5 - The mountains quake before him;
the hills melt;
the earth heaves before him,
the world and all who dwell in it.
Unchecked Copy BoxNah 1:6 - Who can stand before his indignation?
Who can endure the heat of his anger?
His wrath is poured out like fire,
and the rocks are broken into pieces by him.

a stronghold in the day of trouble;

trouble will not rise up a second time.
Unchecked Copy BoxNah 2:3 - The shield of his mighty men is red;
his soldiers are clothed in scarlet.
The chariots come with flashing metal
on the day he musters them;

they rush to and fro through the squares;
they gleam like torches;
they dart like lightning.
Unchecked Copy BoxNah 2:5 - He remembers his officers;
they stumble as they go,
they hasten to the wall;
the siege tower[fn] is set up.
Unchecked Copy BoxNah 2:7 - its mistress[fn] is stripped;[fn] she is carried off,
her slave girls lamenting,
moaning like doves
and beating their breasts.
Unchecked Copy BoxNah 2:13 - Behold, I am against you, declares the LORD of hosts, and I will burn your[fn] chariots in smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions. I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall no longer be heard.
Unchecked Copy BoxNah 3:3 - Horsemen charging,
flashing sword and glittering spear,
hosts of slain,
heaps of corpses,
dead bodies without end—
they stumble over the bodies!
Unchecked Copy BoxNah 3:4 - And all for the countless whorings of the prostitute,
graceful and of deadly charms,
who betrays nations with her whorings,
and peoples with her charms.
Unchecked Copy BoxNah 3:8 - Are you better than Thebes[fn]
that sat by the Nile,
with water around her,
her rampart a sea,
and water her wall?
Unchecked Copy BoxNah 3:13 - Behold, your troops
are women in your midst.
The gates of your land
are wide open to your enemies;
fire has devoured your bars.
Unchecked Copy BoxNah 3:14 - Draw water for the siege;
strengthen your forts;
go into the clay;
tread the mortar;
take hold of the brick mold!
Unchecked Copy BoxNah 3:17 - Your princes are like grasshoppers,
your scribes[fn] like clouds of locusts
settling on the fences
in a day of cold—
when the sun rises, they fly away;
no one knows where they are.
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 1:5 - “Look among the nations, and see;
wonder and be astounded.
For I am doing a work in your days
that you would not believe if told.
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 1:10 - At kings they scoff,
and at rulers they laugh.
They laugh at every fortress,
for they pile up earth and take it.
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 1:13 - You who are of purer eyes than to see evil
and cannot look at wrong,
why do you idly look at traitors
and remain silent when the wicked swallows up
the man more righteous than he?
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 1:15 - He[fn] brings all of them up with a hook;
he drags them out with his net;
he gathers them in his dragnet;
so he rejoices and is glad.
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 1:16 - Therefore he sacrifices to his net
and makes offerings to his dragnet;
for by them he lives in luxury,[fn]
and his food is rich.
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 2:1 - I will take my stand at my watchpost
and station myself on the tower,
and look out to see what he will say to me,
and what I will answer concerning my complaint.
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 2:4 - “Behold, his soul is puffed up; it is not upright within him,
but the righteous shall live by his faith.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 2:12 - “Woe to him who builds a town with blood
and founds a city on iniquity!
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 2:13 - Behold, is it not from the LORD of hosts
that peoples labor merely for fire,
and nations weary themselves for nothing?
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 2:19 - Woe to him who says to a wooden thing, Awake;
to a silent stone, Arise!
Can this teach?
Behold, it is overlaid with gold and silver,
and there is no breath at all in it.
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 2:20 - But the LORD is in his holy temple;
let all the earth keep silence before him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 3:2 - O LORD, I have heard the report of you,
and your work, O LORD, do I fear.
In the midst of the years revive it;
in the midst of the years make it known;
in wrath remember mercy.
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 3:4 - His brightness was like the light;
rays flashed from his hand;
and there he veiled his power.
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 3:5 - Before him went pestilence,
and plague followed at his heels.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 3:8 - Was your wrath against the rivers, O LORD?
Was your anger against the rivers,
or your indignation against the sea,
when you rode on your horses,
on your chariot of salvation?
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 3:11 - The sun and moon stood still in their place
at the light of your arrows as they sped,
at the flash of your glittering spear.
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 3:12 - You marched through the earth in fury;
you threshed the nations in anger.
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 3:14 - You pierced with his own arrows the heads of his warriors,
who came like a whirlwind to scatter me,
rejoicing as if to devour the poor in secret.
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 3:16 - I hear, and my body trembles;
my lips quiver at the sound;
rottenness enters into my bones;
my legs tremble beneath me.
Yet I will quietly wait for the day of trouble
to come upon people who invade us.
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 3:17 - Though the fig tree should not blossom,
nor fruit be on the vines,
the produce of the olive fail

I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
Unchecked Copy BoxHab 3:19 - GOD, the Lord, is my strength;

he makes me tread on my high places.
To the choirmaster: with stringed[fn] instruments.

shall be able to deliver them
on the day of the wrath of the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxZep 2:15 - This is the exultant city
that lived securely,
that said in her heart,
“I am, and there is no one else.”

a lair for wild beasts!

hisses and shakes his fist.
Unchecked Copy BoxZep 3:3 - Her officials within her
are roaring lions;
her judges are evening wolves
that leave nothing till the morning.
