Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 2:5 - Do not provoke them to war, for I will not give you any of their land, not even enough to put your foot on. I have given Esau the hill country of Seir as his own.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:19 - However, your wives, your children and your livestock (I know you have much livestock) may stay in the towns I have given you,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 3:22 - Do not be afraid of them; the LORD your God himself will fight for you.”

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:6 - Observe them carefully, for this will show your wisdom and understanding to the nations, who will hear about all these decrees and say, “Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:7 - What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the LORD our God is near us whenever we pray to him?
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:15 - You saw no form of any kind the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully,

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:26 - I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you this day that you will quickly perish from the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess. You will not live there long but will certainly be destroyed.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:31 - For the LORD your God is a merciful God; he will not abandon or destroy you or forget the covenant with your ancestors, which he confirmed to them by oath.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 4:39 - Acknowledge and take to heart this day that the LORD is God in heaven above and on the earth below. There is no other.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:5 - (At that time I stood between the LORD and you to declare to you the word of the LORD, because you were afraid of the fire and did not go up the mountain.) And he said:
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:9 - You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:15 - Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the LORD your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm. Therefore the LORD your God has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:24 - And you said, “The LORD our God has shown us his glory and his majesty, and we have heard his voice from the fire. Today we have seen that a person can live even if God speaks with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 5:25 - But now, why should we die? This great fire will consume us, and we will die if we hear the voice of the LORD our God any longer.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 6:15 - for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a jealous God and his anger will burn against you, and he will destroy you from the face of the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 7:6 - For you are a people holy to the LORD your God. The LORD your God has chosen you out of all the peoples on the face of the earth to be his people, his treasured possession.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 7:7 - The LORD did not set his affection on you and choose you because you were more numerous than other peoples, for you were the fewest of all peoples.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 7:16 - You must destroy all the peoples the LORD your God gives over to you. Do not look on them with pity and do not serve their gods, for that will be a snare to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 7:17 - You may say to yourselves, “These nations are stronger than we are. How can we drive them out?”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 7:21 - Do not be terrified by them, for the LORD your God, who is among you, is a great and awesome God.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 7:25 - The images of their gods you are to burn in the fire. Do not covet the silver and gold on them, and do not take it for yourselves, or you will be ensnared by it, for it is detestable to the LORD your God.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 7:26 - Do not bring a detestable thing into your house or you, like it, will be set apart for destruction. Regard it as vile and utterly detest it, for it is set apart for destruction.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 8:3 - He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor your ancestors had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 9:12 - Then the LORD told me, “Go down from here at once, because your people whom you brought out of Egypt have become corrupt. They have turned away quickly from what I commanded them and have made an idol for themselves.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 9:16 - When I looked, I saw that you had sinned against the LORD your God; you had made for yourselves an idol cast in the shape of a calf. You had turned aside quickly from the way that the LORD had commanded you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 9:19 - I feared the anger and wrath of the LORD, for he was angry enough with you to destroy you. But again the LORD listened to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:2 - Remember today that your children were not the ones who saw and experienced the discipline of the LORD your God: his majesty, his mighty hand, his outstretched arm;
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 11:7 - But it was your own eyes that saw all these great things the LORD has done.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 12:12 - And there rejoice before the LORD your God—you, your sons and daughters, your male and female servants, and the Levites from your towns who have no allotment or inheritance of their own.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 12:23 - But be sure you do not eat the blood, because the blood is the life, and you must not eat the life with the meat.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 12:31 - You must not worship the LORD your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 14:7 - However, of those that chew the cud or that have a divided hoof you may not eat the camel, the rabbit or the hyrax. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof; they are ceremonially unclean for you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 14:8 - The pig is also unclean; although it has a divided hoof, it does not chew the cud. You are not to eat their meat or touch their carcasses.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 14:21 - Do not eat anything you find already dead. You may give it to the foreigner residing in any of your towns, and they may eat it, or you may sell it to any other foreigner. But you are a people holy to the LORD your God. Do not cook a young goat in its mother's milk.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 14:24 - But if that place is too distant and you have been blessed by the LORD your God and cannot carry your tithe (because the place where the LORD will choose to put his Name is so far away),
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 14:27 - And do not neglect the Levites living in your towns, for they have no allotment or inheritance of their own.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 14:29 - so that the Levites (who have no allotment or inheritance of their own) and the foreigners, the fatherless and the widows who live in your towns may come and eat and be satisfied, and so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work of your hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 15:2 - This is how it is to be done: Every creditor shall cancel any loan they have made to a fellow Israelite. They shall not require payment from anyone among their own people, because the LORD's time for canceling debts has been proclaimed.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 15:6 - For the LORD your God will bless you as he has promised, and you will lend to many nations but will borrow from none. You will rule over many nations but none will rule over you.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 15:15 - Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and the LORD your God redeemed you. That is why I give you this command today.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 15:16 - But if your servant says to you, “I do not want to leave you,” because he loves you and your family and is well off with you,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 15:18 - Do not consider it a hardship to set your servant free, because their service to you these six years has been worth twice as much as that of a hired hand. And the LORD your God will bless you in everything you do.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 16:1 - Observe the month of Aviv and celebrate the Passover of the LORD your God, because in the month of Aviv he brought you out of Egypt by night.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 16:3 - Do not eat it with bread made with yeast, but for seven days eat unleavened bread, the bread of affliction, because you left Egypt in haste—so that all the days of your life you may remember the time of your departure from Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 16:12 - Remember that you were slaves in Egypt, and follow carefully these decrees.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 17:1 - Do not sacrifice to the LORD your God an ox or a sheep that has any defect or flaw in it, for that would be detestable to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 17:15 - be sure to appoint over you a king the LORD your God chooses. He must be from among your fellow Israelites. Do not place a foreigner over you, one who is not an Israelite.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 18:5 - for the LORD your God has chosen them and their descendants out of all your tribes to stand and minister in the LORD's name always.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 19:6 - Otherwise, the avenger of blood might pursue him in a rage, overtake him if the distance is too great, and kill him even though he is not deserving of death, since he did it to his neighbor without malice aforethought.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 20:1 - When you go to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army greater than yours, do not be afraid of them, because the LORD your God, who brought you up out of Egypt, will be with you.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 21:17 - He must acknowledge the son of his unloved wife as the firstborn by giving him a double share of all he has. That son is the first sign of his father's strength. The right of the firstborn belongs to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 21:23 - you must not leave the body hanging on the pole overnight. Be sure to bury it that same day, because anyone who is hung on a pole is under God's curse. You must not desecrate the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:5 - A woman must not wear men's clothing, nor a man wear women's clothing, for the LORD your God detests anyone who does this.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:19 - They shall fine him a hundred shekels[fn] of silver and give them to the young woman's father, because this man has given an Israelite virgin a bad name. She shall continue to be his wife; he must not divorce her as long as he lives.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:21 - she shall be brought to the door of her father's house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father's house. You must purge the evil from among you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:24 - you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the young woman because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man's wife. You must purge the evil from among you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:26 - Do nothing to the woman; she has committed no sin deserving death. This case is like that of someone who attacks and murders a neighbor,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 22:27 - for the man found the young woman out in the country, and though the betrothed woman screamed, there was no one to rescue her.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 23:4 - For they did not come to meet you with bread and water on your way when you came out of Egypt, and they hired Balaam son of Beor from Pethor in Aram Naharaim[fn] to pronounce a curse on you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 23:5 - However, the LORD your God would not listen to Balaam but turned the curse into a blessing for you, because the LORD your God loves you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 23:7 - Do not despise an Edomite, for the Edomites are related to you. Do not despise an Egyptian, because you resided as foreigners in their country.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 23:14 - For the LORD your God moves about in your camp to protect you and to deliver your enemies to you. Your camp must be holy, so that he will not see among you anything indecent and turn away from you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 23:18 - You must not bring the earnings of a female prostitute or of a male prostitute[fn] into the house of the LORD your God to pay any vow, because the LORD your God detests them both.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 23:21 - If you make a vow to the LORD your God, do not be slow to pay it, for the LORD your God will certainly demand it of you and you will be guilty of sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 24:1 - If a man marries a woman who becomes displeasing to him because he finds something indecent about her, and he writes her a certificate of divorce, gives it to her and sends her from his house,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 24:4 - then her first husband, who divorced her, is not allowed to marry her again after she has been defiled. That would be detestable in the eyes of the LORD. Do not bring sin upon the land the LORD your God is giving you as an inheritance.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 24:6 - Do not take a pair of millstones—not even the upper one—as security for a debt, because that would be taking a person's livelihood as security.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 24:15 - Pay them their wages each day before sunset, because they are poor and are counting on it. Otherwise they may cry to the LORD against you, and you will be guilty of sin.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 24:20 - When you beat the olives from your trees, do not go over the branches a second time. Leave what remains for the foreigner, the fatherless and the widow.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 24:22 - Remember that you were slaves in Egypt. That is why I command you to do this.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 25:16 - For the LORD your God detests anyone who does these things, anyone who deals dishonestly.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 26:3 - and say to the priest in office at the time, “I declare today to the LORD your God that I have come to the land the LORD swore to our ancestors to give us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 27:20 - “Cursed is anyone who sleeps with his father's wife, for he dishonors his father's bed.”

Then all the people shall say, “Amen!”

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 28:10 - Then all the peoples on earth will see that you are called by the name of the LORD, and they will fear you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 28:38 - You will sow much seed in the field but you will harvest little, because locusts will devour it.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 28:39 - You will plant vineyards and cultivate them but you will not drink the wine or gather the grapes, because worms will eat them.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 28:40 - You will have olive trees throughout your country but you will not use the oil, because the olives will drop off.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 28:45 - All these curses will come on you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the LORD your God and observe the commands and decrees he gave you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 28:62 - You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left but few in number, because you did not obey the LORD your God.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 29:6 - You ate no bread and drank no wine or other fermented drink. I did this so that you might know that I am the LORD your God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 29:16 - You yourselves know how we lived in Egypt and how we passed through the countries on the way here.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 29:19 - When such a person hears the words of this oath and they invoke a blessing on themselves, thinking, “I will be safe, even though I persist in going my own way,” they will bring disaster on the watered land as well as the dry.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 29:25 - And the answer will be: “It is because this people abandoned the covenant of the LORD, the God of their ancestors, the covenant he made with them when he brought them out of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 30:9 - Then the LORD your God will make you most prosperous in all the work of your hands and in the fruit of your womb, the young of your livestock and the crops of your land. The LORD will again delight in you and make you prosperous, just as he delighted in your ancestors,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 30:11 - Now what I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you or beyond your reach.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 30:18 - I declare to you this day that you will certainly be destroyed. You will not live long in the land you are crossing the Jordan to enter and possess.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 30:20 - and that you may love the LORD your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the LORD is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 31:6 - Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 31:18 - And I will certainly hide my face in that day because of all their wickedness in turning to other gods.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 31:27 - For I know how rebellious and stiff-necked you are. If you have been rebellious against the LORD while I am still alive and with you, how much more will you rebel after I die!
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 31:29 - For I know that after my death you are sure to become utterly corrupt and to turn from the way I have commanded you. In days to come, disaster will fall on you because you will do evil in the sight of the LORD and arouse his anger by what your hands have made.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 32:3 - I will proclaim the name of the LORD. Oh, praise the greatness of our God!
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 32:20 - “I will hide my face from them,” he said, “and see what their end will be; for they are a perverse generation, children who are unfaithful.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 32:22 - For a fire will be kindled by my wrath, one that burns down to the realm of the dead below. It will devour the earth and its harvests and set afire the foundations of the mountains.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 32:28 - They are a nation without sense, there is no discernment in them.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 32:31 - For their rock is not like our Rock, as even our enemies concede.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 32:35 - It is mine to avenge; I will repay. In due time their foot will slip; their day of disaster is near and their doom rushes upon them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 32:36 - The LORD will vindicate his people and relent concerning his servants when he sees their strength is gone and no one is left, slave or free.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 32:39 - “See now that I myself am he! There is no god besides me. I put to death and I bring to life, I have wounded and I will heal, and no one can deliver out of my hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 32:40 - I lift my hand to heaven and solemnly swear: As surely as I live forever,
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 32:41 - when I sharpen my flashing sword and my hand grasps it in judgment, I will take vengeance on my adversaries and repay those who hate me.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 32:43 - Rejoice, you nations, with his people,[fn][fn] for he will avenge the blood of his servants; he will take vengeance on his enemies and make atonement for his land and people.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 32:52 - Therefore, you will see the land only from a distance; you will not enter the land I am giving to the people of Israel.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 33:19 - They will summon peoples to the mountain and there offer the sacrifices of the righteous; they will feast on the abundance of the seas, on the treasures hidden in the sand.”
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 33:21 - He chose the best land for himself; the leader's portion was kept for him. When the heads of the people assembled, he carried out the LORD's righteous will, and his judgments concerning Israel.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 1:9 - Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 1:11 - “Go through the camp and tell the people, ‘Get your provisions ready. Three days from now you will cross the Jordan here to go in and take possession of the land the LORD your God is giving you for your own.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 2:9 - and said to them, “I know that the LORD has given you this land and that a great fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJos 2:10 - We have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea[fn] for you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to Sihon and Og, the two kings of the Amorites east of the Jordan, whom you completely destroyed.[fn]

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:30 - How much better it would have been if the men had eaten today some of the plunder they took from their enemies. Would not the slaughter of the Philistines have been even greater?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:39 - As surely as the LORD who rescues Israel lives, even if the guilt lies with my son Jonathan, he must die.” But not one of them said a word.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:41 - Then Saul prayed to the LORD, the God of Israel, “Why have you not answered your servant today? If the fault is in me or my son Jonathan, respond with Urim, but if the men of Israel are at fault,[fn] respond with Thummim.” Jonathan and Saul were taken by lot, and the men were cleared.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:44 - Saul said, “May God deal with me, be it ever so severely, if you do not die, Jonathan.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:45 - But the men said to Saul, “Should Jonathan die—he who has brought about this great deliverance in Israel? Never!

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:11 - “I regret that I have made Saul king, because he has turned away from me and has not carried out my instructions.” Samuel was angry, and he cried out to the LORD all that night.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:23 - For rebellion is like the sin of divination, and arrogance like the evil of idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the LORD, he has rejected you as king.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:1 - The LORD said to Samuel, “How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:7 - But the LORD said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The LORD does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:11 - So he asked Jesse, “Are these all the sons you have?” “There is still the youngest,” Jesse answered. “He is tending the sheep.” Samuel said, “Send for him; we will not sit down until he arrives.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:12 - So he sent for him and had him brought in. He was glowing with health and had a fine appearance and handsome features. Then the LORD said, “Rise and anoint him; this is the one.”

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:33 - Saul replied, “You are not able to go out against this Philistine and fight him; you are only a young man, and he has been a warrior from his youth.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:39 - David fastened on his sword over the tunic and tried walking around, because he was not used to them. “I cannot go in these,” he said to Saul, “because I am not used to them.” So he took them off.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:42 - He looked David over and saw that he was little more than a boy, glowing with health and handsome, and he despised him.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:43 - He said to David, “Am I a dog, that you come at me with sticks?” And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:46 - This day the LORD will deliver you into my hands, and I'll strike you down and cut off your head. This very day I will give the carcasses of the Philistine army to the birds and the wild animals, and the whole world will know that there is a God in Israel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:47 - All those gathered here will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves; for the battle is the LORD's, and he will give all of you into our hands.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:51 - David ran and stood over him. He took hold of the Philistine's sword and drew it from the sheath. After he killed him, he cut off his head with the sword. When the Philistines saw that their hero was dead, they turned and ran.

Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 18:28 - When Saul realized that the LORD was with David and that his daughter Michal loved David,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 19:4 - Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father and said to him, “Let not the king do wrong to his servant David; he has not wronged you, and what he has done has benefited you greatly.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:1 - Then David fled from Naioth at Ramah and went to Jonathan and asked, “What have I done? What is my crime? How have I wronged your father, that he is trying to kill me?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:2 - “Never!” Jonathan replied. “You are not going to die! Look, my father doesn't do anything, great or small, without letting me know. Why would he hide this from me? It isn't so!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:3 - But David took an oath and said, “Your father knows very well that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said to himself, ‘Jonathan must not know this or he will be grieved.' Yet as surely as the LORD lives and as you live, there is only a step between me and death.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:6 - If your father misses me at all, tell him, ‘David earnestly asked my permission to hurry to Bethlehem, his hometown, because an annual sacrifice is being made there for his whole clan.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:7 - If he says, ‘Very well,' then your servant is safe. But if he loses his temper, you can be sure that he is determined to harm me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:8 - As for you, show kindness to your servant, for you have brought him into a covenant with you before the LORD. If I am guilty, then kill me yourself! Why hand me over to your father?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:9 - “Never!” Jonathan said. “If I had the least inkling that my father was determined to harm you, wouldn't I tell you?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:12 - Then Jonathan said to David, “I swear by the LORD, the God of Israel, that I will surely sound out my father by this time the day after tomorrow! If he is favorably disposed toward you, will I not send you word and let you know?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:13 - But if my father intends to harm you, may the LORD deal with Jonathan, be it ever so severely, if I do not let you know and send you away in peace. May the LORD be with you as he has been with my father.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:17 - And Jonathan had David reaffirm his oath out of love for him, because he loved him as he loved himself.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:18 - Then Jonathan said to David, “Tomorrow is the New Moon feast. You will be missed, because your seat will be empty.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:21 - Then I will send a boy and say, ‘Go, find the arrows.' If I say to him, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; bring them here,' then come, because, as surely as the LORD lives, you are safe; there is no danger.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:22 - But if I say to the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you,' then you must go, because the LORD has sent you away.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:26 - Saul said nothing that day, for he thought, “Something must have happened to David to make him ceremonially unclean—surely he is unclean.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:27 - But the next day, the second day of the month, David's place was empty again. Then Saul said to his son Jonathan, “Why hasn't the son of Jesse come to the meal, either yesterday or today?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:29 - He said, ‘Let me go, because our family is observing a sacrifice in the town and my brother has ordered me to be there. If I have found favor in your eyes, let me get away to see my brothers.' That is why he has not come to the king's table.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:30 - Saul's anger flared up at Jonathan and he said to him, “You son of a perverse and rebellious woman! Don't I know that you have sided with the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of the mother who bore you?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:31 - As long as the son of Jesse lives on this earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Now send someone to bring him to me, for he must die!”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:33 - But Saul hurled his spear at him to kill him. Then Jonathan knew that his father intended to kill David.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:34 - Jonathan got up from the table in fierce anger; on that second day of the feast he did not eat, because he was grieved at his father's shameful treatment of David.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:1 - David went to Nob, to Ahimelek the priest. Ahimelek trembled when he met him, and asked, “Why are you alone? Why is no one with you?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:4 - But the priest answered David, “I don't have any ordinary bread on hand; however, there is some consecrated bread here—provided the men have kept themselves from women.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:6 - So the priest gave him the consecrated bread, since there was no bread there except the bread of the Presence that had been removed from before the LORD and replaced by hot bread on the day it was taken away.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:8 - David asked Ahimelek, “Don't you have a spear or a sword here? I haven't brought my sword or any other weapon, because the king's mission was urgent.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:9 - The priest replied, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, is here; it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you want it, take it; there is no sword here but that one.” David said, “There is none like it; give it to me.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:15 - Am I so short of madmen that you have to bring this fellow here to carry on like this in front of me? Must this man come into my house?”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:6 - Now Saul heard that David and his men had been discovered. And Saul was seated, spear in hand, under the tamarisk tree on the hill at Gibeah, with all his officials standing at his side.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:8 - Is that why you have all conspired against me? No one tells me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse. None of you is concerned about me or tells me that my son has incited my servant to lie in wait for me, as he does today.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:15 - Was that day the first time I inquired of God for him? Of course not! Let not the king accuse your servant or any of his father's family, for your servant knows nothing at all about this whole affair.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:17 - Then the king ordered the guards at his side: “Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, because they too have sided with David. They knew he was fleeing, yet they did not tell me.” But the king's officials were unwilling to raise a hand to strike the priests of the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:21 - He told David that Saul had killed the priests of the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:22 - Then David said to Abiathar, “That day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, I knew he would be sure to tell Saul. I am responsible for the death of your whole family.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:23 - Stay with me; don't be afraid. The man who wants to kill you is trying to kill me too. You will be safe with me.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:4 - Once again David inquired of the LORD, and the LORD answered him, “Go down to Keilah, for I am going to give the Philistines into your hand.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:7 - Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah, and he said, “God has delivered him into my hands, for David has imprisoned himself by entering a town with gates and bars.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:9 - When David learned that Saul was plotting against him, he said to Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:10 - David said, “LORD, God of Israel, your servant has heard definitely that Saul plans to come to Keilah and destroy the town on account of me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:13 - So David and his men, about six hundred in number, left Keilah and kept moving from place to place. When Saul was told that David had escaped from Keilah, he did not go there.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:15 - While David was at Horesh in the Desert of Ziph, he learned that[fn] Saul had come out to take his life.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:17 - “Don't be afraid,” he said. “My father Saul will not lay a hand on you. You will be king over Israel, and I will be second to you. Even my father Saul knows this.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:21 - Saul replied, “The LORD bless you for your concern for me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:27 - a messenger came to Saul, saying, “Come quickly! The Philistines are raiding the land.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:1 - After Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, he was told, “David is in the Desert of En Gedi.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:5 - Afterward, David was conscience-stricken for having cut off a corner of his robe.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:6 - He said to his men, “The LORD forbid that I should do such a thing to my master, the LORD's anointed, or lay my hand on him; for he is the anointed of the LORD.”
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:10 - This day you have seen with your own eyes how the LORD delivered you into my hands in the cave. Some urged me to kill you, but I spared you; I said, ‘I will not lay my hand on my lord, because he is the LORD's anointed.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:11 - See, my father, look at this piece of your robe in my hand! I cut off the corner of your robe but did not kill you. See that there is nothing in my hand to indicate that I am guilty of wrongdoing or rebellion. I have not wronged you, but you are hunting me down to take my life.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 138:5 - May they sing of the ways of the LORD, for the glory of the LORD is great.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 138:6 - Though the LORD is exalted, he looks kindly on the lowly; though lofty, he sees them from afar.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 139:4 - Before a word is on my tongue you, LORD, know it completely.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 139:12 - even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 139:13 - For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb.

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 139:20 - They speak of you with evil intent; your adversaries misuse your name.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 140:12 - I know that the LORD secures justice for the poor and upholds the cause of the needy.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 141:5 - Let a righteous man strike me—that is a kindness; let him rebuke me—that is oil on my head. My head will not refuse it, for my prayer will still be against the deeds of evildoers.

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:6 - For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:21 - For the upright will live in the land, and the blameless will remain in it;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:16 - There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:23 - For this command is a lamp, this teaching is a light, and correction and instruction are the way to life,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:23 - till an arrow pierces his liver, like a bird darting into a snare, little knowing it will cost him his life.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:7 - My mouth speaks what is true, for my lips detest wickedness.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 9:18 - But little do they know that the dead are there, that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 22:17 - Pay attention and turn your ear to the sayings of the wise; apply your heart to what I teach,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 23:2 - and put a knife to your throat if you are given to gluttony.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 23:13 - Do not withhold discipline from a child; if you punish them with the rod, they will not die.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 23:22 - Listen to your father, who gave you life, and do not despise your mother when she is old.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 24:12 - If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 24:18 - or the LORD will see and disapprove and turn his wrath away from them.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 26:19 - is one who deceives their neighbor and says, “I was only joking!”
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 27:24 - for riches do not endure forever, and a crown is not secure for all generations.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 28:22 - The stingy are eager to get rich and are unaware that poverty awaits them.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 29:20 - Do you see someone who speaks in haste? There is more hope for a fool than for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 31:18 - She sees that her trading is profitable, and her lamp does not go out at night.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:13 - I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. What a heavy burden God has laid on mankind!
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:17 - Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom, and also of madness and folly, but I learned that this, too, is a chasing after the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:18 - For with much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:10 - I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my labor, and this was the reward for all my toil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:12 - Then I turned my thoughts to consider wisdom, and also madness and folly. What more can the king's successor do than what has already been done?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:13 - I saw that wisdom is better than folly, just as light is better than darkness.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:14 - The wise have eyes in their heads, while the fool walks in the darkness; but I came to realize that the same fate overtakes them both.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:15 - Then I said to myself, “The fate of the fool will overtake me also. What then do I gain by being wise?” I said to myself, “This too is meaningless.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:16 - For the wise, like the fool, will not be long remembered; the days have already come when both have been forgotten. Like the fool, the wise too must die!
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:17 - So I hated life, because the work that is done under the sun was grievous to me. All of it is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:18 - I hated all the things I had toiled for under the sun, because I must leave them to the one who comes after me.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:21 - For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:22 - What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:23 - All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:24 - A person can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in their own toil. This too, I see, is from the hand of God,
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:25 - for without him, who can eat or find enjoyment?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:26 - To the person who pleases him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner he gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:12 - I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:14 - I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:17 - I said to myself, “God will bring into judgment both the righteous and the wicked, for there will be a time for every activity, a time to judge every deed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:18 - I also said to myself, “As for humans, God tests them so that they may see that they are like the animals.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:19 - Surely the fate of human beings is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath[fn]; humans have no advantage over animals. Everything is meaningless.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:22 - So I saw that there is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. For who can bring them to see what will happen after them?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:4 - And I saw that all toil and all achievement spring from one person's envy of another. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:10 - If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:14 - The youth may have come from prison to the kingship, or he may have been born in poverty within his kingdom.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:16 - There was no end to all the people who were before them. But those who came later were not pleased with the successor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:1 - Guard your steps when you go to the house of God. Go near to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools, who do not know that they do wrong.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:2 - Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:3 - A dream comes when there are many cares, and many words mark the speech of a fool.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:4 - When you make a vow to God, do not delay to fulfill it. He has no pleasure in fools; fulfill your vow.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:6 - Do not let your mouth lead you into sin. And do not protest to the temple messenger, “My vow was a mistake.” Why should God be angry at what you say and destroy the work of your hands?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:7 - Much dreaming and many words are meaningless. Therefore fear God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:8 - If you see the poor oppressed in a district, and justice and rights denied, do not be surprised at such things; for one official is eyed by a higher one, and over them both are others higher still.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:11 - As goods increase, so do those who consume them. And what benefit are they to the owners except to feast their eyes on them?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:18 - This is what I have observed to be good: that it is appropriate for a person to eat, to drink and to find satisfaction in their toilsome labor under the sun during the few days of life God has given them—for this is their lot.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:20 - They seldom reflect on the days of their life, because God keeps them occupied with gladness of heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:2 - God gives some people wealth, possessions and honor, so that they lack nothing their hearts desire, but God does not grant them the ability to enjoy them, and strangers enjoy them instead. This is meaningless, a grievous evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:4 - It comes without meaning, it departs in darkness, and in darkness its name is shrouded.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:8 - What advantage have the wise over fools? What do the poor gain by knowing how to conduct themselves before others?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:11 - The more the words, the less the meaning, and how does that profit anyone?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:12 - For who knows what is good for a person in life, during the few and meaningless days they pass through like a shadow? Who can tell them what will happen under the sun after they are gone?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:2 - It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:3 - Frustration is better than laughter, because a sad face is good for the heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:6 - Like the crackling of thorns under the pot, so is the laughter of fools. This too is meaningless.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:7 - Extortion turns a wise person into a fool, and a bribe corrupts the heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:9 - Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, for anger resides in the lap of fools.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:10 - Do not say, “Why were the old days better than these?” For it is not wise to ask such questions.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:12 - Wisdom is a shelter as money is a shelter, but the advantage of knowledge is this: Wisdom preserves those who have it.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:13 - Consider what God has done: Who can straighten what he has made crooked?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:18 - It is good to grasp the one and not let go of the other. Whoever fears God will avoid all extremes.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:20 - Indeed, there is no one on earth who is righteous, no one who does what is right and never sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:22 - for you know in your heart that many times you yourself have cursed others.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:3 - Do not be in a hurry to leave the king's presence. Do not stand up for a bad cause, for he will do whatever he pleases.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:6 - For there is a proper time and procedure for every matter, though a person may be weighed down by misery.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:7 - Since no one knows the future, who can tell someone else what is to come?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:10 - Then too, I saw the wicked buried—those who used to come and go from the holy place and receive praise[fn] in the city where they did this. This too is meaningless.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:11 - When the sentence for a crime is not quickly carried out, people's hearts are filled with schemes to do wrong.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:12 - Although a wicked person who commits a hundred crimes may live a long time, I know that it will go better with those who fear God, who are reverent before him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:14 - There is something else meaningless that occurs on earth: the righteous who get what the wicked deserve, and the wicked who get what the righteous deserve. This too, I say, is meaningless.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:15 - So I commend the enjoyment of life, because there is nothing better for a person under the sun than to eat and drink and be glad. Then joy will accompany them in their toil all the days of the life God has given them under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:16 - When I applied my mind to know wisdom and to observe the labor that is done on earth—people getting no sleep day or night—
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:17 - then I saw all that God has done. No one can comprehend what goes on under the sun. Despite all their efforts to search it out, no one can discover its meaning. Even if the wise claim they know, they cannot really comprehend it.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:1 - So I reflected on all this and concluded that the righteous and the wise and what they do are in God's hands, but no one knows whether love or hate awaits them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:3 - This is the evil in everything that happens under the sun: The same destiny overtakes all. The hearts of people, moreover, are full of evil and there is madness in their hearts while they live, and afterward they join the dead.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:4 - Anyone who is among the living has hope[fn]—even a live dog is better off than a dead lion!
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:5 - For the living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no further reward, and even their name is forgotten.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:7 - Go, eat your food with gladness, and drink your wine with a joyful heart, for God has already approved what you do.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:9 - Enjoy life with your wife, whom you love, all the days of this meaningless life that God has given you under the sun—all your meaningless days. For this is your lot in life and in your toilsome labor under the sun.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:10 - Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:11 - I have seen something else under the sun: The race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favor to the learned; but time and chance happen to them all.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:12 - Moreover, no one knows when their hour will come: As fish are caught in a cruel net, or birds are taken in a snare, so people are trapped by evil times that fall unexpectedly upon them.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:4 - If a ruler's anger rises against you, do not leave your post; calmness can lay great offenses to rest.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 10:20 - Do not revile the king even in your thoughts, or curse the rich in your bedroom, because a bird in the sky may carry your words, and a bird on the wing may report what you say.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:1 - Ship your grain across the sea; after many days you may receive a return.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:2 - Invest in seven ventures, yes, in eight; you do not know what disaster may come upon the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:6 - Sow your seed in the morning, and at evening let your hands not be idle, for you do not know which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both will do equally well.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:8 - However many years anyone may live, let them enjoy them all. But let them remember the days of darkness, for there will be many. Everything to come is meaningless.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:9 - You who are young, be happy while you are young, and let your heart give you joy in the days of your youth. Follow the ways of your heart and whatever your eyes see, but know that for all these things God will bring you into judgment.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 11:10 - So then, banish anxiety from your heart and cast off the troubles of your body, for youth and vigor are meaningless.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:3 - when the keepers of the house tremble, and the strong men stoop, when the grinders cease because they are few, and those looking through the windows grow dim;
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:5 - when people are afraid of heights and of dangers in the streets; when the almond tree blossoms and the grasshopper drags itself along and desire no longer is stirred. Then people go to their eternal home and mourners go about the streets.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:9 - Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:13 - Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 12:14 - For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil.

Unchecked Copy BoxSng 1:6 - Do not stare at me because I am dark, because I am darkened by the sun. My mother's sons were angry with me and made me take care of the vineyards; my own vineyard I had to neglect.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:5 - Strengthen me with raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am faint with love.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:11 - See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 2:14 - He: My dove in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places on the mountainside, show me your face, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:2 - She: I slept but my heart was awake. Listen! My beloved is knocking: “Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.”
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:8 - Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you— if you find my beloved, what will you tell him? Tell him I am faint with love.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 5:9 - Friends: How is your beloved better than others, most beautiful of women? How is your beloved better than others, that you so charge us?
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 6:5 - Turn your eyes from me; they overwhelm me. Your hair is like a flock of goats descending from Gilead.
Unchecked Copy BoxSng 8:6 - Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy[fn] unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.[fn]

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 9:17 - Therefore the Lord will take no pleasure in the young men, nor will he pity the fatherless and widows, for everyone is ungodly and wicked, every mouth speaks folly. Yet for all this, his anger is not turned away, his hand is still upraised.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 9:20 - On the right they will devour, but still be hungry; on the left they will eat, but not be satisfied. Each will feed on the flesh of their own offspring[fn]:

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 31:4 - This is what the LORD says to me: “As a lion growls, a great lion over its prey— and though a whole band of shepherds is called together against it, it is not frightened by their shouts or disturbed by their clamor— so the LORD Almighty will come down to do battle on Mount Zion and on its heights.
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 31:7 - For in that day every one of you will reject the idols of silver and gold your sinful hands have made.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 34:6 - The sword of the LORD is bathed in blood, it is covered with fat— the blood of lambs and goats, fat from the kidneys of rams. For the LORD has a sacrifice in Bozrah and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
