“the LORD spoke to me,

“Then the LORD spoke to you from the fire. You kept hearing the sound of the words, but didn't see a form; there was only a voice.

“Listen, Israel, and be careful to follow them, so that you may prosper and multiply greatly, because the LORD, the God of your ancestors, has promised you a land flowing with milk and honey.

“by driving out all your enemies before you, as the LORD has said.

“Then on the day of the assembly, the LORD wrote on the tablets what had been written previously, the Ten Commandments that he had spoken to you on the mountain from the fire. The LORD gave them to me,

“No one will be able to stand against you; the LORD your God will put fear and dread of you in all the land where you set foot, as he has promised you.

Then the LORD spoke to Joshua,

None of the good promises the LORD had made to the house of Israel failed. Everything was fulfilled.

“The LORD your God will force them back on your account and drive them out before you so that you can take possession of their land, as the LORD your God promised you.

“Since every good thing the LORD your God promised you has come about, so he will bring on you every bad thing until he has annihilated you from this good land the LORD your God has given you.

And Joshua said to all the people, “You see this stone ​— ​it will be a witness against us, for it has heard all the words the LORD said to us, and it will be a witness against you, so that you will not deny your God.”

and he has fulfilled the promise by his power.

He said,

I have taken the place of my father David,

and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised.

I have built the temple for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

from all peoples of the earth,

and spoke to them according to the young men's advice: “My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with barbed whips.”

Then the king declared to the man of God, “Come home with me, refresh yourself, and I'll give you a reward.”

Now a certain old prophet was living in Bethel. His son[fn] came and told him all the deeds that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. His sons also told their father the words that he had spoken to the king.

“but you went back and ate food and drank water in the place that he said to you, “Do not eat food and do not drink water” — your corpse will never reach the grave of your ancestors.' ”

When Baasha became king, he struck down the entire house of Jeroboam. He did not leave Jeroboam any survivors but[fn] destroyed his family according to the word of the LORD he had spoken through his servant Ahijah the Shilonite.

But through the prophet Jehu son of Hanani the word of the LORD also had come against Baasha and against his house because of all the evil he had done in the LORD's sight. His actions angered the LORD, and Baasha's house became like the house of Jeroboam, because he had struck it down.

So Zimri destroyed the entire house of Baasha, according to the word of the LORD he had spoken against Baasha through the prophet Jehu.

The messenger who went to call Micaiah instructed him, “Look, the words of the prophets are unanimously favorable for the king. So let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably.”

“You see, the LORD has put a lying spirit into the mouth of all these prophets of yours, and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you.”

But Micaiah said, “If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me.” Then he said, “Listen, all you people! ”[fn]

Then someone washed the chariot at the pool of Samaria. The dogs licked up his blood, and the prostitutes bathed in it, according to the word of the LORD that he had spoken.

But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Go and meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and say to them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?

The king asked them, “What sort of man came up to meet you and spoke those words to you? ”

So King Ahaziah sent a captain with his fifty men to Elijah. When the captain went up to him, he was sitting on top of the hill. He announced, “Man of God, the king declares, ‘Come down! ' ”

So the king sent another captain with his fifty men to Elijah. He took in the situation[fn] and announced, “Man of God, this is what the king says: ‘Come down immediately! ' ”

But his servants approached and said to him, “My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more should you do it when he only tells you, ‘Wash and be clean'? ”

The king had appointed the captain, his right-hand man, to be in charge of the city gate, but the people trampled him in the gate. He died, just as the man of God had predicted when the king had come to him.

Elisha said to the woman whose son he had restored to life, “Get ready, you and your household, and go live as a resident alien wherever you can. For the LORD has announced a seven-year famine, and it has already come to the land.”

But they replied, “That's a lie! Tell us! ”

So Jehu said, “He talked to me about this and that and said, ‘This is what the LORD says: I anoint you king over Israel.' ”

So they went back and told him, and he said, “This fulfills the LORD's word that he spoke through his servant Elijah the Tishbite: ‘In the plot of land at Jezreel, the dogs will eat Jezebel's flesh.

“Know, then, that not a word the LORD spoke against the house of Ahab will fail, for the LORD has done what he promised through his servant Elijah.”

When Jehu came to Samaria, he struck down all who remained from the house of Ahab in Samaria until he had annihilated his house, according to the word of the LORD spoken to Elijah.

He restored Israel's border from Lebo-hamath as far as the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word the LORD, the God of Israel, had spoken through his servant, the prophet Jonah son of Amittai from Gath-hepher.

The LORD had not said he would blot out the name of Israel under heaven, so he delivered them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.

The word of the LORD that he spoke to Jehu was, “Four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel,” and it was so.

Finally, the LORD removed Israel from his presence just as he had declared through all his servants the prophets. So Israel has been exiled to Assyria from their homeland to this very day.

by his power.

But Micaiah said, “If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me.” Then he said, “Listen, all you people! ”

Then the whole assembly made a covenant with the king in God's temple. Jehoiada said to them, “Here is the king's son! He will reign, just as the LORD promised concerning David's sons.

Then Hezekiah encouraged[fn] all the Levites who performed skillfully before the LORD. They ate at the appointed festival for seven days, sacrificing fellowship offerings and giving thanks to the LORD, the God of their ancestors.

He set military commanders over the people and gathered the people in the square of the city gate. Then he encouraged them,[fn] saying,

They spoke against the God of Jerusalem like they had spoken against the gods of the peoples of the earth, which were made by human hands.

The LORD spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they didn't listen.

The king consulted the wise men who understood the times,[fn] for it was his normal procedure to confer with experts in law and justice.

The king and his counselors approved the proposal, and he followed Memucan's advice.

Some time later, when King Ahasuerus's rage had cooled down, he remembered Vashti, what she had done, and what was decided against her.

Then Haman informed King Ahasuerus, “There is one ethnic group, scattered throughout the peoples in every province of your kingdom, keeping themselves separate. Their laws are different from everyone else's and they do not obey the king's laws. It is not in the king's best interest to tolerate them.

Mordecai also gave him a copy of the written decree issued in Susa ordering their destruction, so that Hathach might show it to Esther, explain it to her, and command her to approach the king, implore his favor, and plead with him personally for her people.

Then Esther addressed the king again. She fell at his feet, wept, and begged him to revoke the evil of Haman the Agagite and his plot he had devised against the Jews.

Then they sat on the ground with him seven days and nights, but no one spoke a word to him because they saw that his suffering was very intense.

I am going to open my mouth;

my tongue will form words on my palate.

“Job speaks without knowledge;

his words are without insight.”

They lie to one another;

they speak with flattering lips and deceptive hearts.

They are uncaring;[fn]

their mouths speak arrogantly.

I love you, LORD, my strength.

The Mighty One, God,[fn] the LORD, speaks;

he summons the earth

from the rising of the sun to its setting.

God has spoken in his sanctuary:[fn]

“I will celebrate!

I will divide up Shechem.

I will apportion the Valley of Succoth.

God has spoken once;

I have heard this twice:

strength belongs to God,

that my lips promised

and my mouth spoke during my distress.

God has spoken in his sanctuary:[fn]

“I will celebrate!

I will divide up Shechem.

I will apportion the Valley of Succoth.

whose mouths speak lies,

whose right hands are deceptive.

Set me free and rescue me

from foreigners

whose mouths speak lies,

whose right hands are deceptive.

Listen, heavens, and pay attention, earth,

for the LORD has spoken:

“I have raised children[fn] and brought them up,

but they have rebelled against me.

“But if you refuse and rebel,

you will be devoured by the sword.”

For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

This is the message that the LORD previously announced about Moab.

during that time the LORD had spoken through Isaiah son of Amoz, saying, “Go, take off your sackcloth from your waist and remove the sandals from your feet,” and he did that, going stripped and barefoot ​— ​

“The remaining Kedarite archers will be few in number.” For the LORD, the God of Israel, has spoken.

“On that day” ​— ​the declaration of the LORD of Armies ​— ​“the peg that was driven into a firm place will give way, be cut off, and fall, and the load on it will be destroyed.” Indeed, the LORD has spoken.

The earth will be stripped completely bare

and will be totally plundered,

for the LORD has spoken this message.

When he has swallowed up death once and for all,

the Lord GOD will wipe away the tears

from every face

and remove his people's disgrace

from the whole earth,

for the LORD has spoken.

“this is the word the LORD has spoken against him:

Virgin Daughter Zion

despises you and scorns you;

Daughter Jerusalem shakes her head

behind your back.

Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the LORD that you have spoken is good,” for he thought: There will be peace and security during my lifetime.

And the glory of the LORD will appear,

and all humanity[fn] together will see it,

for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

“then you will delight in the LORD,

and I will make you ride over the heights of the land,

and let you enjoy the heritage of your father Jacob.”

For the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

For your hands are defiled with blood

and your fingers, with iniquity;

your lips have spoken lies,

and your tongues mutter injustice.

Hear the word that the LORD has spoken to[fn] you, house of Israel.

“The LORD of Armies who planted you has decreed disaster against you, because of the disaster[fn] the house of Israel and the house of Judah brought on themselves when they angered me by burning incense to Baal.”

Listen and pay attention. Do not be proud,

for the LORD has spoken.

“When you tell these people all these things, they will say to you, ‘Why has the LORD declared all this terrible disaster against us? What is our iniquity? What is our sin that we have committed against the LORD our God? '

“This is what each man is to say to his friend and to his brother: ‘What has the LORD answered? ' or ‘What has the LORD spoken? '

“Say to the prophet, ‘What has the LORD answered you? ' or ‘What has the LORD spoken? '

The prophet Jeremiah spoke concerning all the people of Judah and all the residents of Jerusalem as follows:

“So now, correct your ways and deeds, and obey the LORD your God so that he might relent concerning the disaster he had pronounced against you.

Then the officials and all the people told the priests and prophets, “This man doesn't deserve the death sentence, for he has spoken to us in the name of the LORD our God! ”

“Did King Hezekiah of Judah and all the people of Judah put him to death? Did not the king fear the LORD and plead for the LORD's favor,[fn] and did not the LORD relent concerning the disaster he had pronounced against them? We are about to bring a terrible disaster on ourselves! ”

These are the words the LORD spoke to Israel and Judah.

So the prophet Jeremiah related all these words to King Zedekiah of Judah in Jerusalem

“Perhaps their petition will come before the LORD, and each one will turn from his evil way, for the anger and fury that the LORD has pronounced against this people are intense.”

He and his officers and the people of the land did not obey the words of the LORD that he spoke through the prophet Jeremiah.

Ebed-melech went from the king's palace and spoke to the king:

“The officials may hear that I have spoken with you and come and demand of you, ‘Tell us what you said to the king; don't hide anything from us and we won't kill you. Also, what did the king say to you? '

The captain of the guards took Jeremiah and said to him, “The LORD your God decreed this disaster on this place,

“The LORD has spoken concerning you, remnant of Judah: ‘Don't go to Egypt.' Know for certain that I have warned you today!

This is the word that the prophet Jeremiah spoke to Baruch son of Neriah when he wrote these words on a scroll at Jeremiah's dictation[fn] in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah:

This is the word the LORD spoke to the prophet Jeremiah about the coming of King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon to defeat the land of Egypt:

This is the word the LORD spoke about Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, through the prophet Jeremiah:

Raise up a signal flag

against the walls of Babylon;

fortify the watch post;

set the watchmen in place;

prepare the ambush.

For the LORD has both planned and accomplished

what he has threatened

against those who live in Babylon.

The Chaldeans seized the king and brought him to the king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, and he passed sentence on him.

He spoke kindly to him and set his throne above the thrones of the kings who were with him in Babylon.

The Spirit entered me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me and said, “Go, shut yourself inside your house.

Then he said to me, “Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Look how they say, ‘Our bones are dried up, and our hope has perished; we are cut off.'

The king interviewed them, and among all of them, no one was found equal to Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they began to attend the king.

He has carried out his words that he spoke against us and against our rulers[fn] by bringing on us a disaster that is so great that nothing like what has been done to Jerusalem has ever been done under all of heaven.

He gave me this explanation: “Daniel, I've come now to give you understanding.

I will sell your sons and daughters to the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabeans,[fn] to a distant nation, for the LORD has spoken.

Listen to this message that the LORD has spoken against you, Israelites, against the entire clan that I brought from the land of Egypt:

A lion has roared;

who will not fear?

The Lord GOD has spoken;

who will not prophesy?

Then the house of Jacob will be a blazing fire,

and the house of Joseph, a burning flame,

but the house of Esau will be stubble;

Jacob[fn] will set them on fire and consume Edom.[fn]

Therefore no survivor will remain

of the house of Esau,

for the LORD has spoken.

Jonah got up and went to Nineveh according to the LORD's command.

Now Nineveh was an extremely great city,[fn] a three-day walk.

God saw their actions ​— ​that they had turned from their evil ways ​— ​so God relented from the disaster he had threatened them with. And he did not do it.

But each person will sit under his grapevine

and under his fig tree

with no one to frighten him.

For the mouth of the LORD of Armies

has spoken.

Both hands are good at accomplishing evil:

the official and the judge demand a bribe;

when the powerful man communicates his evil desire,

they plot it together.

On the twenty-first day of the seventh month, the word of the LORD came through the prophet Haggai:

Then he summoned me saying, “See, those going to the land of the north have pacified my Spirit in the northern land.”

“Aren't these the words that the LORD proclaimed through the earlier prophets when Jerusalem was inhabited and secure,[fn] along with its surrounding cities, and when the southern region and the Judean foothills were inhabited? ”
