Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 8:9 - a land where you may eat food in plenty and find no lack of anything, a land whose stones are iron and from whose hills you can mine copper.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 8:15 - and who brought you through the great, fearful desert of venomous serpents and scorpions, an arid place with no water. He made water flow from a flint rock and

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 14:29 - Then the Levites (because they have no allotment or inheritance with you), the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows of your villages may come and eat their fill so that the LORD your God may bless you in all the work you do.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 20:19 - If you besiege a city for a long time while attempting to capture it, you must not chop down its trees, for you may eat fruit from them and should not cut them down. A tree in the field is not human that you should besiege it!

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 23:5 - But the LORD your God refused to listen to Balaam and changed the curse to a blessing, for the LORD your God loves you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 23:10 - If there is someone among you who is impure because of some nocturnal emission, he must leave the camp; he may not reenter it immediately.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 23:14 - For the LORD your God walks about in the middle of your camp to deliver you and defeat your enemies for you. Therefore your camp should be holy, so that he does not see anything indecent among you and turn away from you.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 24:19 - Whenever you reap your harvest in your field and leave some unraked grain there, you must not return to get it; it should go to the resident foreigner, orphan, and widow so that the LORD your God may bless all the work you do.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 25:6 - Then the first son she bears will continue the name of the dead brother, thus preventing his name from being blotted out of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 25:7 - But if the man does not want to marry his brother's widow, then she must go to the elders at the town gate and say, "My husband's brother refuses to preserve his brother's name in Israel; he is unwilling to perform the duty of a brother-in-law to me!"
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 25:9 - then his sister-in-law must approach him in view of the elders, remove his sandal from his foot, and spit in his face. She will then respond, "Thus may it be done to any man who does not maintain his brother's family line!"
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 25:13 - You must not have in your bag different stone weights, a heavy and a light one.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 25:14 - You must not have in your house different measuring containers, a large and a small one.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 25:18 - how they met you along the way and cut off all your stragglers in the rear of the march when you were exhausted and tired; they were unafraid of God.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 26:13 - Then you shall say before the LORD your God, "I have removed the sacred offering from my house and given it to the Levites, the resident foreigners, the orphans, and the widows just as you have commanded me. I have not violated or forgotten your commandments.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 26:14 - I have not eaten anything when I was in mourning, or removed any of it while ceremonially unclean, or offered any of it to the dead; I have obeyed you and have done everything you have commanded me.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 28:30 - You will be engaged to a woman and another man will rape her. You will build a house but not live in it. You will plant a vineyard but not even begin to use it.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 28:31 - Your ox will be slaughtered before your very eyes but you will not eat of it. Your donkey will be stolen from you as you watch and will not be returned to you. Your flock of sheep will be given to your enemies and there will be no one to save you.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 28:32 - Your sons and daughters will be given to another people while you look on in vain all day, and you will be powerless to do anything about it.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 28:33 - As for the produce of your land and all your labor, a people you do not know will consume it, and you will be nothing but oppressed and crushed for the rest of your lives.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 28:36 - The LORD will force you and your king whom you will appoint over you to go away to a people whom you and your ancestors have not known, and you will serve other gods of wood and stone there.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 28:62 - There will be very few of you left, though at one time you were as numerous as the stars in the sky, because you will have disobeyed the LORD your God.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 28:64 - The LORD will scatter you among all nations, from one end of the earth to the other. There you will worship other gods that neither you nor your ancestors have known, gods of wood and stone.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 28:65 - Among those nations you will have no rest nor will there be a place of peaceful rest for the soles of your feet, for there the LORD will give you an anxious heart, failing eyesight, and a spirit of despair.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 28:68 - Then the LORD will make you return to Egypt by ship, over a route I said to you that you would never see again. There you will sell yourselves to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you."
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 29:4 - But to this very day the LORD has not given you an understanding mind, perceptive eyes, or discerning ears!
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 29:5 - I have led you through the desert for forty years. Your clothing has not worn out nor have your sandals deteriorated.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 29:26 - They went and served other gods and worshiped them, gods they did not know and that he did not permit them to worship.
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 30:12 - It is not in heaven, as though one must say, "Who will go up to heaven to get it for us and proclaim it to us so we may obey it?"
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 31:8 - The LORD is indeed going before you - he will be with you; he will not fail you or abandon you. Do not be afraid or discouraged!"
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 31:13 - Then their children, who have not known this law, will also hear about and learn to fear the LORD your God for as long as you live in the land you are crossing the Jordan to possess."
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 31:17 - At that time my anger will erupt against them and I will abandon them and hide my face from them until they are devoured. Many disasters and distresses will overcome them so that they will say at that time, 'Have not these disasters overcome us because our God is not among us?'
Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 32:4 - As for the Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are just. He is a reliable God who is never unjust, he is fair and upright.

Unchecked Copy BoxDeu 32:6 - Is this how you repay the LORD, you foolish, unwise people? Is he not your father, your creator? He has made you and established you.

Unchecked Copy BoxJdg 16:14 - So she made him go to sleep, wove the seven braids of his hair into the fabric on the loom, fastened it with the pin, and said to him, "The Philistines are here, Samson!" He woke up and tore away the pin of the loom and the fabric.

Unchecked Copy BoxRth 2:22 - Naomi then said to her daughter-in-law Ruth, "It is good, my daughter, that you should go out to work with his female servants. That way you will not be harmed, which could happen in another field."
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 4:4 - So I am legally informing you: Acquire it before those sitting here and before the leaders of my people! If you want to exercise your right to redeem it, then do so. But if not, then tell me so I will know. For you possess the first option to redeem it; I am next in line after you." He replied, "I will redeem it."
Unchecked Copy BoxRth 4:10 - I have also acquired Ruth the Moabite, the wife of Mahlon, as my wife to raise up a descendant who will inherit his property so the name of the deceased might not disappear from among his relatives and from his village. You are witnesses today."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:2 - He had two wives; the name of the first was Hannah and the name of the second was Peninnah. Now Peninnah had children, but Hannah was childless.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:5 - But he would give a double portion to Hannah, because he especially loved her. Now the LORD had not enabled her to have children.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:6 - Her rival wife used to upset her and make her worry, for the LORD had not enabled her to have children.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:7 - Peninnah would behave this way year after year. Whenever Hannah went up to the LORD's house, Peninnah would upset her so that she would weep and refuse to eat.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:8 - Finally her husband Elkanah said to her, "Hannah, why do you weep and not eat? Why are you so sad? Am I not better to you than ten sons?"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:11 - She made a vow saying, "O LORD of hosts, if you will look with compassion on the suffering of your female servant, remembering me and not forgetting your servant, and give a male child to your servant, then I will dedicate him to the LORD all the days of his life. His hair will never be cut."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:13 - Now Hannah was speaking from her heart. Although her lips were moving, her voice was inaudible. Eli therefore thought she was drunk.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 1:22 - but Hannah did not go up with them. Instead she told her husband, "Once the boy is weaned, I will bring him and appear before the LORD, and he will remain there from then on."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:2 - No one is holy like the LORD! There is no one other than you! There is no rock like our God!
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:9 - He watches over his holy ones, but the wicked are made speechless in the darkness, for it is not by one's own strength that one prevails.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:12 - The sons of Eli were wicked men. They did not recognize the LORD's authority.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:24 - This ought not to be, my sons! For the report that I hear circulating among the LORD's people is not good.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:25 - If a man sins against a man, one may appeal to God on his behalf. But if a man sins against the LORD, who then will intercede for him?" But Eli's sons would not listen to their father, for the LORD had decided to kill them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:32 - You will see trouble in my dwelling place! Israel will experience blessings, but there will not be an old man in your house for all time.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 2:33 - Any one of you that I do not cut off from my altar, I will cause your eyes to fail and will cause you grief. All of those born to your family will die in the prime of life.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:1 - Now the boy Samuel continued serving the LORD under Eli's supervision. Word from the LORD was rare in those days; revelatory visions were infrequent.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:2 - Eli's eyes had begun to fail, so that he was unable to see well. At that time he was lying down in his place,
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:13 - You should tell him that I am about to judge his house forever because of the sin that he knew about. For his sons were cursing God, and he did not rebuke them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:18 - So Samuel told him everything. He did not hold back anything from him. Eli said, "The LORD will do what he pleases."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 3:19 - Samuel continued to grow, and the LORD was with him. None of his prophecies fell to the ground unfulfilled.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 4:15 - Now Eli was ninety-eight years old and his eyes looked straight ahead; he was unable to see.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 4:20 - As she was dying, the women who were there with her said, "Don't be afraid! You have given birth to a son!" But she did not reply or pay any attention.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 5:5 - (For this reason, to this very day, neither Dagon's priests nor anyone else who enters Dagon's temple step on Dagon's threshold in Ashdod.)
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 5:12 - The people who did not die were struck with sores; the city's cry for help went all the way up to heaven.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:3 - They replied, "If you are going to send the ark of the God of Israel back, don't send it away empty. Be sure to return it with a guilt offering. Then you will be healed, and you will understand why his hand is not removed from you."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 6:19 - But the LORD struck down some of the people of Beth Shemesh because they had looked into the ark of the LORD; he struck down 50,070 of the men. The people grieved because the LORD had struck the people with a hard blow.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 8:3 - But his sons did not follow his ways. Instead, they made money dishonestly, accepted bribes, and perverted justice.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 8:18 - In that day you will cry out because of your king whom you have chosen for yourselves, but the LORD won't answer you in that day."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 8:19 - But the people refused to heed Samuel's warning. Instead they said, "No! There will be a king over us!
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:2 - He had a son named Saul, a handsome young man. There was no one among the Israelites more handsome than he was; he stood head and shoulders above all the people.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:4 - So Saul crossed through the hill country of Ephraim, passing through the land of Shalisha, but they did not find them. So they crossed through the land of Shaalim, but they were not there. Then he crossed through the land of Benjamin, and still they did not find them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 9:7 - So Saul said to his servant, "All right, we can go. But what can we bring the man, since the food in our bags is used up? We have no gift to take to the man of God. What do we have?"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:14 - Saul's uncle asked him and his servant, "Where did you go?" Saul replied, "To look for the donkeys. But when we realized they were lost, we went to Samuel."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:16 - Saul said to his uncle, "He assured us that the donkeys had been found." But Saul did not tell him what Samuel had said about the matter of kingship.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:24 - Then Samuel said to all the people, "Do you see the one whom the LORD has chosen? Indeed, there is no one like him among all the people!" All the people shouted out, "Long live the king!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 10:27 - But some wicked men said, "How can this man save us?" They despised him and did not even bring him a gift. But Saul said nothing about it.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 11:7 - He took a pair of oxen and cut them up. Then he sent the pieces throughout the territory of Israel by the hand of messengers, who said, "Whoever does not go out after Saul and after Samuel should expect this to be done to his oxen!" Then the terror of the LORD fell on the people, and they went out as one army.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 11:13 - But Saul said, "No one will be killed on this day. For today the LORD has given Israel a victory!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:4 - They replied, "You have not wronged us or oppressed us. You have not taken anything from the hand of anyone."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:21 - You should not turn aside after empty things that can't profit and can't deliver, since they are empty.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 12:22 - The LORD will not abandon his people because he wants to uphold his great reputation. The LORD was pleased to make you his own people.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:12 - I thought, 'Now the Philistines will come down on me at Gilgal and I have not sought the LORD's favor.' So I felt obligated to offer the burnt offering."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:13 - Then Samuel said to Saul, "You have made a foolish choice! You have not obeyed the commandment that the LORD your God gave you. Had you done that, the LORD would have established your kingdom over Israel forever!
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 13:14 - But now your kingdom will not continue! The LORD has sought out for himself a man who is loyal to him and the LORD has appointed him to be leader over his people, for you have not obeyed what the LORD commanded you."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:1 - Then one day Jonathan son of Saul said to his armor bearer, "Come on, let's go over to the Philistine garrison that is opposite us." But he did not let his father know.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:3 - Now Ahijah was carrying an ephod. He was the son of Ahitub, who was the brother of Ichabod and a son of Phineas, son of Eli, the priest of the LORD in Shiloh. The army was unaware that Jonathan had left.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:6 - Jonathan said to his armor bearer, "Come on, let's go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised men. Perhaps the LORD will intervene for us. Nothing can prevent the LORD from delivering, whether by many or by a few."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:15 - Then fear overwhelmed those who were in the camp, those who were in the field, all the army in the garrison, and the raiding bands. They trembled and the ground shook. This fear was caused by God.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:24 - Now the men of Israel were hard pressed that day, for Saul had made the army agree to this oath: "Cursed be the man who eats food before evening! I will get my vengeance on my enemies!" So no one in the army ate anything.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:26 - When the army entered the forest, they saw the honey flowing, but no one ate any of it, for the army was afraid of the oath.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:27 - But Jonathan had not heard about the oath his father had made the army take. He extended the end of his staff that was in his hand and dipped it in the honeycomb. When he ate it, his eyes gleamed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:37 - So Saul asked God, "Should I go down after the Philistines? Will you deliver them into the hand of Israel?" But he did not answer him that day.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:39 - For as surely as the LORD, the deliverer of Israel, lives, even if it turns out to be my own son Jonathan, he will certainly die!" But no one from the army said anything.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:41 - Then Saul said, "O LORD God of Israel! If this sin has been committed by me or by my son Jonathan, then, O LORD God of Israel, respond with Urim. But if this sin has been committed by your people Israel, respond with Thummim." Then Jonathan and Saul were indicated by lot, while the army was exonerated.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:42 - Then Saul said, "Cast the lot between me and my son Jonathan!" Jonathan was indicated by lot.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 14:45 - But the army said to Saul, "Should Jonathan, who won this great victory in Israel, die? May it never be! As surely as the LORD lives, not a single hair of his head will fall to the ground! For it is with the help of God that he has acted today." So the army rescued Jonathan from death.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:9 - However, Saul and the army spared Agag, along with the best of the flock, the cattle, the fatlings, and the lambs, as well as everything else that was of value. They were not willing to slaughter them. But they did slaughter everything that was despised and worthless.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:11 - "I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned away from me and has not done what I told him to do." Samuel became angry and he cried out to the LORD all that night.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:19 - Why haven't you obeyed the LORD? Instead you have greedily rushed upon the plunder! You have done what is wrong in the LORD's estimation."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:26 - Samuel said to Saul, "I will not go back with you, for you have rejected the word of the LORD, and the LORD has rejected you from being king over Israel!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 15:29 - The Preeminent One of Israel does not go back on his word or change his mind, for he is not a human being who changes his mind."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:9 - Then Jesse presented Shammah. But Samuel said, "The LORD has not chosen this one either."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 16:10 - Jesse presented seven of his sons to Samuel. But Samuel said to Jesse, "The LORD has not chosen any of these."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:8 - Goliath stood and called to Israel's troops, "Why do you come out to prepare for battle? Am I not the Philistine, and are you not the servants of Saul? Choose for yourselves a man so he may come down to me!
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 17:47 - and all this assembly will know that it is not by sword or spear that the LORD saves! For the battle is the LORD's, and he will deliver you into our hand."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:2 - Jonathan said to him, "By no means are you going to die! My father does nothing large or small without making me aware of it. Why would my father hide this matter from me? It just won't happen!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:15 - Don't ever cut off your loyalty to my family, not even when the LORD has cut off every one of David's enemies from the face of the earth
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:21 - When I send a boy after them, I will say, "Go and find the arrows." If I say to the boy, 'Look, the arrows are on this side of you; get them,' then come back. For as surely as the LORD lives, you will be safe and there will no problem.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:26 - However, Saul said nothing about it that day, for he thought, "Something has happened to make him ceremonially unclean. Yes, he must be unclean."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:34 - Jonathan got up from the table enraged. He did not eat any food on that second day of the new moon, for he was upset that his father had humiliated David.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 20:39 - (Now the servant did not understand any of this. Only Jonathan and David knew what was going on.)
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:4 - The priest replied to David, "I don't have any ordinary bread at my disposal. Only holy bread is available, and then only if your soldiers have abstained from sexual relations with women."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:6 - So the priest gave him holy bread, for there was no bread there other than the bread of the Presence. It had been removed from before the LORD in order to replace it with hot bread on the day it had been taken away.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:8 - David said to Ahimelech, "Is there no sword or spear here at your disposal? I don't have my own sword or equipment in hand due to the urgency of the king's instructions."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:9 - The priest replied, "The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck down in the valley of Elah, is wrapped in a garment behind the ephod. If you wish, take it for yourself. Other than that, there's nothing here." David said, "There's nothing like it! Give it to me!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 21:15 - Do I have a shortage of fools, that you have brought me this man to display his insanity in front of me? Should this man enter my house?"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:8 - For all of you have conspired against me! No one informs me when my own son makes an agreement with this son of Jesse! Not one of you feels sorry for me or informs me that my own son has commissioned my own servant to hide in ambush against me, as is the case today!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:15 - Was it just today that I began to inquire of God on his behalf? Far be it from me! The king should not accuse his servant or any of my father's house. For your servant is not aware of all this - not in whole or in part!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 22:17 - Then the king said to the messengers who were stationed beside him, "Turn and kill the priests of the LORD, for they too have sided with David! They knew he was fleeing, but they did not inform me." But the king's servants refused to harm the priests of the LORD.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 23:19 - Then the Ziphites went up to Saul at Gibeah and said, "Isn't David hiding among us in the strongholds at Horesh on the hill of Hakilah, south of Jeshimon?
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:7 - David restrained his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. Then Saul left the cave and started down the road.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:10 - Today your own eyes see how the LORD delivered you - this very day - into my hands in the cave. Some told me to kill you, but I had pity on you and said, 'I will not extend my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD's chosen one.'
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:11 - Look, my father, and see the edge of your robe in my hand! When I cut off the edge of your robe, I didn't kill you. So realize and understand that I am not planning evil or rebellion. Even though I have not sinned against you, you are waiting in ambush to take my life.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:12 - May the LORD judge between the two of us, and may the LORD vindicate me over you, but my hand will not be against you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:13 - It's like the old proverb says: 'From evil people evil proceeds.' But my hand will not be against you.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:18 - You have explained today how you have treated me well. The LORD delivered me into your hand, but you did not kill me.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 24:21 - So now swear to me in the LORD's name that you will not kill my descendants after me or destroy my name from the house of my father."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:7 - Now I hear that they are shearing sheep for you. When your shepherds were with us, we neither insulted them nor harmed them the whole time they were in Carmel.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:11 - Should I take my bread and my water and my meat that I have slaughtered for my shearers and give them to these men? I don't even know where they came from!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:15 - These men were very good to us. They did not insult us, nor did we sustain any loss during the entire time we were together in the field.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:17 - Now be aware of this, and see what you can do. For disaster has been planned for our lord and his entire household. He is such a wicked person that no one tells him anything!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:19 - and said to her servants, "Go on ahead of me. I will come after you." But she did not tell her husband Nabal.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:21 - Now David had been thinking, "In vain I guarded everything that belonged to this man in the desert. I didn't take anything from him. But he has repaid my good with evil.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:25 - My lord should not pay attention to this wicked man Nabal. He simply lives up to his name! His name means 'fool,' and he is indeed foolish! But I, your servant, did not see the servants my lord sent.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:31 - Your conscience will not be overwhelmed with guilt for having poured out innocent blood and for having taken matters into your own hands. When the LORD has granted my lord success, please remember your servant."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 25:36 - When Abigail went back to Nabal, he was holding a banquet in his house like that of the king. Nabal was having a good time and was very intoxicated. She told him absolutely nothing until morning's light.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:12 - So David took the spear and the jug of water by Saul's head, and they got out of there. No one saw them or was aware of their presence or woke up. All of them were asleep, for the LORD had caused a deep sleep to fall on them.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:14 - David called to the army and to Abner son of Ner, "Won't you answer, Abner?" Abner replied, "Who are you, that you have called to the king?"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:15 - David said to Abner, "Aren't you a man? After all, who is like you in Israel? Why then haven't you protected your lord the king? One of the soldiers came to kill your lord the king.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:16 - This failure on your part isn't good! As surely as the LORD lives, you people who have not protected your lord, the LORD's chosen one, are as good as dead! Now look where the king's spear and the jug of water that was by his head are!"
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 26:23 - The LORD rewards each man for his integrity and loyalty. Even though today the LORD delivered you into my hand, I was not willing to extend my hand against the LORD's chosen one.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:1 - David thought to himself, "One of these days I'm going to be swept away by the hand of Saul! There is nothing better for me than to escape to the land of the Philistines. Then Saul will despair of searching for me through all the territory of Israel and I will escape from his hand."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:9 - When David would attack a district, he would leave neither man nor woman alive. He would take sheep, cattle, donkeys, camels, and clothing and would then go back to Achish.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 27:11 - Neither man nor woman would David leave alive so as to bring them back to Gath. He was thinking, "This way they can't tell on us, saying, 'This is what David did.'" Such was his practice the entire time that he lived in the country of the Philistines.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:6 - So Saul inquired of the LORD, but the LORD did not answer him - not by dreams nor by Urim nor by the prophets.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:15 - Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" Saul replied, "I am terribly troubled! The Philistines are fighting against me and God has turned away from me. He does not answer me - not by the prophets nor by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what I should do."
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:18 - Since you did not obey the LORD and did not carry out his fierce anger against the Amalekites, the LORD has done this thing to you today.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:20 - Saul quickly fell full length on the ground and was very afraid because of Samuel's words. He was completely drained of energy, not having eaten anything all that day and night.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 28:23 - But he refused, saying, "I won't eat!" Both his servants and the woman urged him to eat, so he gave in. He got up from the ground and sat down on the bed.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 29:6 - So Achish summoned David and said to him, "As surely as the LORD lives, you are an honest man, and I am glad to have you serving with me in the army. I have found no fault with you from the day that you first came to me until the present time. But in the opinion of the leaders, you are not reliable.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:2 - They took captive the women who were in it, from the youngest to the oldest, but they did not kill anyone. They simply carried them off and went on their way.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:4 - Then David and the men who were with him wept loudly until they could weep no more.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 30:17 - But David struck them down from twilight until the following evening. None of them escaped, with the exception of four hundred young men who got away on camels.
Unchecked Copy Box1Sa 31:4 - Saul said to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword and stab me with it! Otherwise these uncircumcised people will come, stab me, and torture me." But his armor bearer refused to do it, because he was very afraid. So Saul took his sword and fell on it.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:14 - David replied to him, "How is it that you were not afraid to reach out your hand to destroy the LORD's anointed?"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:21 - O mountains of Gilboa, may there be no dew or rain on you, nor fields of grain offerings! For it was there that the shield of warriors was defiled; the shield of Saul lies neglected without oil.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 1:22 - From the blood of the slain, from the fat of warriors, the bow of Jonathan was not turned away. The sword of Saul never returned empty.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:19 - Asahel chased Abner, without turning to the right or to the left as he followed Abner.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:21 - Abner said to him, "Turn aside to your right or to your left. Capture one of the soldiers and take his equipment for yourself!" But Asahel was not willing to turn aside from following him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:23 - But Asahel refused to turn aside. So Abner struck him in the abdomen with the back end of his spear. The spear came out his back; Asahel collapsed on the spot and died there right before Abner. Everyone who now comes to the place where Asahel fell dead pauses in respect.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 2:26 - Then Abner called out to Joab, "Must the sword devour forever? Don't you realize that this will turn bitter in the end? When will you tell the people to turn aside from pursuing their brothers?"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:8 - These words of Ish-bosheth really angered Abner and he said, "Am I the head of a dog that belongs to Judah? This very day I am demonstrating loyalty to the house of Saul your father and to his relatives and his friends! I have not betrayed you into the hand of David. Yet you have accused me of sinning with this woman today!
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:11 - Ish-bosheth was unable to answer Abner with even a single word because he was afraid of him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:13 - So David said, "Good! I will make an agreement with you. I ask only one thing from you. You will not see my face unless you bring Saul's daughter Michal when you come to visit me."
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:22 - Now David's soldiers and Joab were coming back from a raid, bringing a great deal of plunder with them. Abner was no longer with David in Hebron, for David had sent him away and he had left in peace.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:25 - You know Abner the son of Ner! Surely he came here to spy on you and to determine when you leave and when you return and to discover everything that you are doing!"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:26 - Then Joab left David and sent messengers after Abner. They brought him back from the well of Sirah. (But David was not aware of it.)
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:34 - Your hands were not bound, and your feet were not put into irons. You fell the way one falls before criminals." All the people wept over him again.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:37 - All the people and all Israel realized on that day that the killing of Abner son of Ner was not done at the king's instigation.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 3:38 - Then the king said to his servants, "Do you not realize that a great leader has fallen this day in Israel?
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:6 - Then the king and his men advanced to Jerusalem against the Jebusites who lived in the land. The Jebusites said to David, "You cannot invade this place! Even the blind and the lame will turn you back, saying, 'David cannot invade this place!'"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:8 - David said on that day, "Whoever attacks the Jebusites must approach the 'lame' and the 'blind' who are David's enemies by going through the water tunnel." For this reason it is said, "The blind and the lame cannot enter the palace."
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 5:23 - So David asked the LORD what he should do. This time the LORD said to him, "Don't march straight up. Instead, circle around behind them and come against them opposite the trees.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 6:10 - So David was no longer willing to bring the ark of the LORD to be with him in the City of David. David left it in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 6:23 - Now Michal, Saul's daughter, had no children to the day of her death.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:7 - Wherever I moved among all the Israelites, I did not say to any of the leaders whom I appointed to care for my people Israel, "Why have you not built me a house made from cedar?"'
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:15 - But my loyal love will not be removed from him as I removed it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 7:22 - Therefore you are great, O LORD God, for there is none like you! There is no God besides you! What we have heard is true!
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 11:20 - if the king becomes angry and asks you, 'Why did you go so close to the city to fight? Didn't you realize they would shoot from the wall?
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 11:22 - So the messenger departed. When he arrived, he informed David of all the news that Joab had sent with him.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:6 - Because he committed this cold-hearted crime, he must pay for the lamb four times over!"
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:10 - So now the sword will never depart from your house. For you have despised me by taking the wife of Uriah the Hittite as your own!'
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:17 - The elders of his house stood over him and tried to lift him from the ground, but he was unwilling, and refused to eat food with them.
Unchecked Copy Box2Sa 12:18 - On the seventh day the child died. But the servants of David were afraid to inform him that the child had died, for they said, "While the child was still alive he would not listen to us when we spoke to him. How can we tell him that the child is dead? He will do himself harm!"

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 53:5 - They are absolutely terrified, even by things that do not normally cause fear. For God annihilates those who attack you. You are able to humiliate them because God has rejected them.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 54:1 - O God, deliver me by your name! Vindicate me by your power!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 55:11 - Disaster is within it; violence and deceit do not depart from its public square.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 55:19 - God, the one who has reigned as king from long ago, will hear and humiliate them. (Selah) They refuse to change, and do not fear God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 58:5 - that does not respond to the magicians, or to a skilled snake-charmer.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 58:8 - Let them be like a snail that melts away as it moves along! Let them be like stillborn babies that never see the sun!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 60:10 - Have you not rejected us, O God? O God, you do not go into battle with our armies.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 66:20 - God deserves praise, for he did not reject my prayer or abandon his love for me!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 69:2 - I sink into the deep mire where there is no solid ground; I am in deep water, and the current overpowers me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 69:5 - O God, you are aware of my foolish sins; my guilt is not hidden from you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 69:33 - For the LORD listens to the needy; he does not despise his captive people.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 71:11 - They say, "God has abandoned him. Run and seize him, for there is no one who will rescue him!"
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 71:15 - I will tell about your justice, and all day long proclaim your salvation, though I cannot fathom its full extent.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:4 - For they suffer no pain; their bodies are strong and well-fed.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:5 - They are immune to the trouble common to men; they do not suffer as other men do.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 73:22 - I was ignorant and lacked insight; I was as senseless as an animal before you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 74:4 - Your enemies roar in the middle of your sanctuary; they set up their battle flags.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 74:9 - We do not see any signs of God's presence; there are no longer any prophets and we have no one to tell us how long this will last.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 75:8 - For the LORD holds in his hand a cup full of foaming wine mixed with spices, and pours it out. Surely all the wicked of the earth will slurp it up and drink it to its very last drop."
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 77:2 - In my time of trouble I sought the Lord. I kept my hand raised in prayer throughout the night. I refused to be comforted.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 77:4 - You held my eyelids open; I was troubled and could not speak.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 78:4 - we will not hide from their descendants. We will tell the next generation about the LORD's praiseworthy acts, about his strength and the amazing things he has done.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 78:8 - Then they will not be like their ancestors, who were a stubborn and rebellious generation, a generation that was not committed and faithful to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 78:10 - They did not keep their covenant with God, and they refused to obey his law.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 78:22 - because they did not have faith in God, and did not trust his ability to deliver them.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 78:30 - They were not yet filled up, their food was still in their mouths,
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 78:32 - Despite all this, they continued to sin, and did not trust him to do amazing things.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 78:37 - They were not really committed to him, and they were unfaithful to his covenant.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 78:39 - He remembered that they were made of flesh, and were like a wind that blows past and does not return.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 78:42 - They did not remember what he had done, how he delivered them from the enemy,
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 78:50 - He sent his anger in full force; he did not spare them from death; he handed their lives over to destruction.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 78:53 - He guided them safely along, while the sea covered their enemies.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 78:56 - Yet they challenged and defied the sovereign God, and did not obey his commands.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 78:63 - Fire consumed their young men, and their virgins remained unmarried.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 78:67 - He rejected the tent of Joseph; he did not choose the tribe of Ephraim.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 79:3 - They have made their blood flow like water all around Jerusalem, and there is no one to bury them.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 79:6 - Pour out your anger on the nations that do not acknowledge you, on the kingdoms that do not pray to you!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 81:5 - He decreed it as a regulation in Joseph, when he attacked the land of Egypt. I heard a voice I did not recognize.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 81:9 - There must be no other god among you. You must not worship a foreign god.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 81:11 - But my people did not obey me; Israel did not submit to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 82:5 - They neither know nor understand. They stumble around in the dark, while all the foundations of the earth crumble.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 86:8 - None can compare to you among the gods, O Lord! Your exploits are incomparable!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 88:5 - adrift among the dead, like corpses lying in the grave, whom you remember no more, and who are cut off from your power.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 88:8 - You cause those who know me to keep their distance; you make me an appalling sight to them. I am trapped and cannot get free.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 89:22 - No enemy will be able to exact tribute from him; a violent oppressor will not be able to humiliate him.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 89:43 - You turn back his sword from the adversary, and have not sustained him in battle.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 89:48 - No man can live on without experiencing death, or deliver his life from the power of Sheol. (Selah)
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 91:7 - Though a thousand may fall beside you, and a multitude on your right side, it will not reach you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 91:10 - No harm will overtake you; no illness will come near your home.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 92:15 - So they proclaim that the LORD, my protector, is just and never unfair.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 94:7 - Then they say, "The LORD does not see this; the God of Jacob does not take notice of it."
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 94:14 - Certainly the LORD does not forsake his people; he does not abandon the nation that belongs to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 95:10 - For forty years I was continually disgusted with that generation, and I said, 'These people desire to go astray; they do not obey my commands.'
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 101:4 - I will have nothing to do with a perverse person; I will not permit evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 102:17 - when he responds to the prayer of the destitute, and does not reject their request.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 102:27 - But you remain; your years do not come to an end.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 103:9 - He does not always accuse, and does not stay angry.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 103:16 - but when the hot wind blows by, it disappears, and one can no longer even spot the place where it once grew.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 104:25 - Over here is the deep, wide sea, which teems with innumerable swimming creatures, living things both small and large.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 105:14 - He let no one oppress them; he disciplined kings for their sake,
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 105:34 - He ordered locusts to come, innumerable grasshoppers.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 105:37 - He brought his people out enriched with silver and gold; none of his tribes stumbled.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:7 - Our ancestors in Egypt failed to appreciate your miraculous deeds, they failed to remember your many acts of loyal love, and they rebelled at the sea, by the Red Sea.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:24 - They rejected the fruitful land; they did not believe his promise.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:25 - They grumbled in their tents; they did not obey the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 106:34 - They did not destroy the nations, as the LORD had commanded them to do.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:12 - So he used suffering to humble them; they stumbled and no one helped them up.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 107:38 - He blessed them so that they became very numerous. He would not allow their cattle to decrease in number.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 108:11 - Have you not rejected us, O God? O God, you do not go into battle with our armies.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:16 - For he never bothered to show kindness; he harassed the oppressed and needy, and killed the disheartened.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 109:17 - He loved to curse others, so those curses have come upon him. He had no desire to bless anyone, so he has experienced no blessings.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 115:5 - They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see,
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 115:6 - ears, but cannot hear, noses, but cannot smell,
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 118:17 - I will not die, but live, and I will proclaim what the LORD has done.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:16 - I find delight in your statutes; I do not forget your instructions.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:30 - I choose the path of faithfulness; I am committed to your regulations.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:46 - I will speak about your regulations before kings and not be ashamed.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:51 - Arrogant people do nothing but scoff at me. Yet I do not turn aside from your law.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:60 - I keep your commands eagerly and without delay.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:61 - The ropes of the wicked tighten around me, but I do not forget your law.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:83 - For I am like a wineskin dried up in smoke. I do not forget your statutes.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:87 - They have almost destroyed me here on the earth, but I do not reject your precepts.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:102 - I do not turn aside from your regulations, for you teach me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:109 - My life is in continual danger, but I do not forget your law.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:110 - The wicked lay a trap for me, but I do not wander from your precepts.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:136 - Tears stream down from my eyes, because people do not keep your law.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:141 - I am insignificant and despised, yet I do not forget your precepts.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:153 - ר  (Resh) See my pain and rescue me! For I do not forget your law.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:155 - The wicked have no chance for deliverance, for they do not seek your statutes.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:157 - The enemies who chase me are numerous. Yet I do not turn aside from your rules.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:158 - I take note of the treacherous and despise them, because they do not keep your instructions.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:165 - Those who love your law are completely secure; nothing causes them to stumble.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 119:176 - I have wandered off like a lost sheep. Come looking for your servant, for I do not forget your commands.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 124:6 - The LORD deserves praise, for he did not hand us over as prey to their teeth.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 125:3 - Indeed, the scepter of a wicked king will not settle upon the allotted land of the godly. Otherwise the godly might do what is wrong.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 129:2 - "Since my youth they have often attacked me, but they have not defeated me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 129:7 - which cannot fill the reaper's hand, or the lap of the one who gathers the grain!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 129:8 - Those who pass by will not say, "May you experience the LORD's blessing! We pronounce a blessing on you in the name of the LORD."
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 135:16 - They have mouths, but cannot speak, eyes, but cannot see,
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 135:17 - and ears, but cannot hear. Indeed, they cannot breathe.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 139:4 - Certainly my tongue does not frame a word without you, O LORD, being thoroughly aware of it.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 139:15 - my bones were not hidden from you, when I was made in secret and sewed together in the depths of the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 142:4 - Look to the right and see! No one cares about me. I have nowhere to run; no one is concerned about my life.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 144:14 - Our cattle will be weighted down with produce. No one will break through our walls, no one will be taken captive, and there will be no terrified cries in our city squares.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 145:3 - The LORD is great and certainly worthy of praise! No one can fathom his greatness!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 146:3 - Do not trust in princes, or in human beings, who cannot deliver!
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 147:5 - Our Lord is great and has awesome power; there is no limit to his wisdom.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 147:10 - He is not enamored with the strength of a horse, nor is he impressed by the warrior's strong legs.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 147:20 - He has not done so with any other nation; they are not aware of his regulations. Praise the LORD!
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 1:5 - (Let the wise also hear and gain instruction, and let the discerning acquire guidance!)
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 1:22 - "How long will you simpletons love naiveté? How long will mockers delight in mockery and fools hate knowledge?
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 1:28 - Then they will call to me, but I will not answer; they will diligently seek me, but they will not find me.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 2:19 - None who go in to her will return, nor will they reach the paths of life.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 3:15 - She is more precious than rubies, and none of the things you desire can compare with her.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 4:19 - The way of the wicked is like gloomy darkness; they do not know what causes them to stumble.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:5 - Her feet go down to death; her steps lead straight to the grave.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:6 - Lest she should make level the path leading to life, her paths are unstable but she does not know it.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:13 - For I did not obey my teachers and I did not heed my instructors.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:12 - A worthless and wicked person walks around saying perverse things;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:29 - So it is with the one who has sex with his neighbor's wife; no one who touches her will escape punishment.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:33 - He will be beaten and despised, and his reproach will not be wiped away;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:35 - He will not consider any compensation; he will not be willing, even if you multiply the compensation.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 7:23 - till an arrow pierces his liver - like a bird hurrying into a trap, and he does not know that it will cost him his life.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 8:11 - For wisdom is better than rubies, and desirable things cannot be compared to her.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 9:13 - The woman called Folly is brash, she is naive and does not know anything.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 9:18 - But they do not realize that the dead are there, that her guests are in the depths of the grave.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 10:2 - Treasures gained by wickedness do not profit, but righteousness delivers from mortal danger.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 10:19 - When words abound, transgression is inevitable, but the one who restrains his words is wise.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 10:30 - The righteous will never be moved, but the wicked will not inhabit the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 11:7 - When a wicked person dies, his expectation perishes, and the hope of his strength perishes.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 11:21 - Be assured that the evil person will certainly be punished, but the descendants of the righteous will not suffer unjust judgment.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 11:25 - A generous person will be enriched, and the one who provides water for others will himself be satisfied.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 12:3 - No one can be established through wickedness, but a righteous root cannot be moved.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 12:21 - The righteous do not encounter any harm, but the wicked are filled with calamity.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 12:27 - The lazy person does not roast his prey, but personal possessions are precious to the diligent.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 14:10 - The heart knows its own bitterness, and with its joy no one else can share.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 14:22 - Do not those who devise evil go astray? But those who plan good exhibit faithful covenant love.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 15:7 - The lips of the wise spread knowledge, but not so the heart of fools.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 15:12 - The scorner does not love one who corrects him; he will not go to the wise.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 16:5 - The LORD abhors every arrogant person; rest assured that they will not go unpunished.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 16:29 - A violent person entices his neighbor, and leads him down a path that is terrible.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 17:5 - The one who mocks the poor insults his Creator; whoever rejoices over disaster will not go unpunished.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 17:10 - A rebuke makes a greater impression on a discerning person than a hundred blows on a fool.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 17:21 - Whoever brings a fool into the world does so to his grief, and the father of a fool has no joy.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 19:5 - A false witness will not go unpunished, and the one who spouts out lies will not escape punishment.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 19:9 - A false witness will not go unpunished, and the one who spouts out lies will perish.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 19:23 - Fearing the LORD leads to life, and one who does so will live satisfied; he will not be afflicted by calamity.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 20:1 - Wine is a mocker and strong drink is a brawler; whoever goes astray by them is not wise.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 20:4 - The sluggard will not plow during the planting season, so at harvest time he looks for the crop but has nothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 20:8 - A king sitting on the throne to judge separates out all evil with his eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 20:21 - An inheritance gained easily in the beginning will not be blessed in the end.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 21:10 - The appetite of the wicked desires evil; his neighbor is shown no favor in his eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 21:13 - The one who shuts his ears to the cry of the poor, he too will cry out and will not be answered.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 21:30 - There is no wisdom and there is no understanding, and there is no counsel against the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 22:14 - The mouth of an adulteress is like a deep pit; the one against whom the LORD is angry will fall into it.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 23:18 - For surely there is a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 23:35 - You will say, "They have struck me, but I am not harmed! They beat me, but I did not know it! When will I awake? I will look for another drink."
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 24:7 - Wisdom is unattainable for a fool; in court he does not open his mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 24:12 - If you say, "But we did not know about this," does not the one who evaluates hearts consider? Does not the one who guards your life know? Will he not repay each person according to his deeds?
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 24:14 - Likewise, know that wisdom is sweet to your soul; if you find it, you will have a future, and your hope will not be cut off.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 24:18 - lest the LORD see it, and be displeased, and turn his wrath away from him.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 25:10 - lest the one who hears it put you to shame and your infamy will never go away.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 26:1 - Like snow in summer or rain in harvest, so honor is not fitting for a fool.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 26:2 - Like a fluttering bird or like a flying swallow, so a curse without cause does not come to rest.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 26:20 - Where there is no wood, a fire goes out, and where there is no gossip, contention ceases.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 27:20 - As Death and Destruction are never satisfied, so the eyes of a person are never satisfied.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 28:10 - The one who leads the upright astray in an evil way will himself fall into his own pit, but the blameless will inherit what is good.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 28:13 - The one who covers his transgressions will not prosper, but whoever confesses them and forsakes them will find mercy.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 28:17 - The one who is tormented by the murder of another will flee to the pit; let no one support him.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 28:20 - A faithful person will have an abundance of blessings, but the one who hastens to gain riches will not go unpunished.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 28:21 - To show partiality is terrible, for a person will transgress over the smallest piece of bread.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 28:22 - The stingy person hastens after riches and does not know that poverty will overtake him.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 28:27 - The one who gives to the poor will not lack, but whoever shuts his eyes to them will receive many curses.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 29:1 - The one who stiffens his neck after numerous rebukes will suddenly be destroyed without remedy.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:2 - Surely I am more brutish than any other human being, and I do not have human understanding;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:11 - There is a generation who curse their fathers and do not bless their mothers.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:12 - There is a generation who are pure in their own eyes and yet are not washed from their filthiness.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:15 - The leech has two daughters: "Give! Give!" There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, "Enough" -
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:16 - the grave, the barren womb, land that is not satisfied with water, and fire that never says, "Enough!"
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:18 - There are three things that are too wonderful for me, four that I do not understand:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:26 - rock badgers are creatures with little power, but they make their homes in the crags;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 30:30 - a lion, mightiest of the beasts, who does not retreat from anything;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 31:11 - The heart of her husband has confidence in her, and he has no lack of gain.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 31:18 - She knows that her merchandise is good, and her lamp does not go out in the night.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 31:27 - She watches over the ways of her household, and does not eat the bread of idleness.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:7 - All the streams flow into the sea, but the sea is not full, and to the place where the streams flow, there they will flow again.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:8 - All this monotony is tiresome; no one can bear to describe it: The eye is never satisfied with seeing, nor is the ear ever content with hearing.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:9 - What exists now is what will be, and what has been done is what will be done; there is nothing truly new on earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 1:11 - No one remembers the former events, nor will anyone remember the events that are yet to happen; they will not be remembered by the future generations.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:10 - I did not restrain myself from getting whatever I wanted; I did not deny myself anything that would bring me pleasure. So all my accomplishments gave me joy; this was my reward for all my effort.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:11 - Yet when I reflected on everything I had accomplished and on all the effort that I had expended to accomplish it, I concluded: "All these achievements and possessions are ultimately profitless - like chasing the wind! There is nothing gained from them on earth."
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:16 - For the wise man, like the fool, will not be remembered for very long, because in the days to come, both will already have been forgotten. Alas, the wise man dies - just like the fool!
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:21 - For a man may do his work with wisdom, knowledge, and skill; however, he must hand over the fruit of his labor as an inheritance to someone else who did not work for it. This also is futile, and an awful injustice!
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 2:24 - There is nothing better for people than to eat and drink, and to find enjoyment in their work. I also perceived that this ability to find enjoyment comes from God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:12 - I have concluded that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to enjoy themselves as long as they live,
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:14 - I also know that whatever God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it, and nothing taken away from it. God has made it this way, so that men will fear him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 3:22 - So I perceived there is nothing better than for people to enjoy their work, because that is their reward; for who can show them what the future holds?
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:1 - So I again considered all the oppression that continually occurs on earth. This is what I saw: The oppressed were in tears, but no one was comforting them; no one delivers them from the power of their oppressors.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:3 - But better than both is the one who has not been born and has not seen the evil things that are done on earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:8 - A man who is all alone with no companion, he has no children nor siblings; yet there is no end to all his toil, and he is never satisfied with riches. He laments, "For whom am I toiling and depriving myself of pleasure?" This also is futile and a burdensome task!
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:13 - A poor but wise youth is better than an old and foolish king who no longer knows how to receive advice.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 4:16 - There is no end to all the people nor to the past generations, yet future generations will not rejoice in him. This also is profitless and like chasing the wind.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:4 - When you make a vow to God, do not delay in paying it. For God takes no pleasure in fools: Pay what you vow!
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:12 - The sleep of the laborer is pleasant - whether he eats little or much - but the wealth of the rich will not allow him to sleep.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 5:14 - Then that wealth was lost through bad luck; although he fathered a son, he has nothing left to give him.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:2 - God gives a man riches, property, and wealth so that he lacks nothing that his heart desires, yet God does not enable him to enjoy the fruit of his labor - instead, someone else enjoys it! This is fruitless and a grave misfortune.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:3 - Even if a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years - even if he lives a long, long time, but cannot enjoy his prosperity - even if he were to live forever - I would say, "A stillborn child is better off than he is!"
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:5 - though it never saw the light of day nor knew anything, yet it has more rest than that man -
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 6:6 - if he should live a thousand years twice, yet does not enjoy his prosperity. For both of them die!
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:10 - Do not say, "Why were the old days better than these days?" for it is not wise to ask that.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 7:20 - For there is not one truly righteous person on the earth who continually does good and never sins.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:7 - Surely no one knows the future, and no one can tell another person what will happen.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:8 - Just as no one has power over the wind to restrain it, so no one has power over the day of his death. Just as no one can be discharged during the battle, so wickedness cannot rescue the wicked.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:11 - When a sentence is not executed at once against a crime, the human heart is encouraged to do evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:13 - But it will not go well with the wicked, nor will they prolong their days like a shadow, because they do not stand in fear before God.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:15 - So I recommend the enjoyment of life, for there is nothing better on earth for a person to do except to eat, drink, and enjoy life. So joy will accompany him in his toil during the days of his life which God gives him on earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 8:16 - When I tried to gain wisdom and to observe the activity on earth - even though it prevents anyone from sleeping day or night -
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:1 - So I reflected on all this, attempting to clear it all up. I concluded that the righteous and the wise, as well as their works, are in the hand of God; whether a person will be loved or hated - no one knows what lies ahead.
Unchecked Copy BoxEcc 9:5 - For the living know that they will die, but the dead do not know anything; they have no further reward - and even the memory of them disappears.

Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 65:12 - I predestine you to die by the sword, all of you will kneel down at the slaughtering block, because I called to you, and you did not respond, I spoke and you did not listen. You did evil before me; you chose to do what displeases me."
Unchecked Copy BoxIsa 65:16 - Whoever pronounces a blessing in the earth will do so in the name of the faithful God; whoever makes an oath in the earth will do so in the name of the faithful God. For past problems will be forgotten; I will no longer think about them.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 2:8 - Your priests did not ask, 'Where is the LORD?' Those responsible for teaching my law did not really know me. Your rulers rebelled against me. Your prophets prophesied in the name of the god Baal. They all worshiped idols that could not help them.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 3:8 - She also saw that I gave wayward Israel her divorce papers and sent her away because of her adulterous worship of other gods. Even after her unfaithful sister Judah had seen this, she still was not afraid, and she too went and gave herself like a prostitute to other gods.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:24 - They do not say to themselves, "Let us revere the LORD our God. It is he who gives us the autumn rains and the spring rains at the proper time. It is he who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest."
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:28 - That is how they have grown fat and sleek. There is no limit to the evil things they do. They do not plead the cause of the fatherless in such a way as to win it. They do not defend the rights of the poor.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 5:29 - I will certainly punish them for doing such things!" says the LORD. "I will certainly bring retribution on such a nation as this!
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 6:15 - Are they ashamed because they have done such shameful things? No, they are not at all ashamed. They do not even know how to blush! So they will die, just like others have died. They will be brought to ruin when I punish them," says the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 7:13 - You also have done all these things, says the LORD, and I have spoken to you over and over again. But you have not listened! You have refused to respond when I called you to repent!
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 7:16 - Then the LORD said, "As for you, Jeremiah, do not pray for these people! Do not cry out to me or petition me on their behalf! Do not plead with me to save them, because I will not listen to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 7:22 - Consider this: When I spoke to your ancestors after I brought them out of Egypt, I did not merely give them commands about burnt offerings and sacrifices.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 7:24 - But they did not listen to me or pay any attention to me. They followed the stubborn inclinations of their own wicked hearts. They acted worse and worse instead of better.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 7:26 - But your ancestors did not listen to me nor pay attention to me. They became obstinate and were more wicked than even their own forefathers.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 7:27 - Then the LORD said to me, "When you tell them all this, they will not listen to you. When you call out to them, they will not respond to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 7:31 - They have also built places of worship in a place called Topheth in the Valley of Ben Hinnom so that they can sacrifice their sons and daughters by fire. That is something I never commanded them to do! Indeed, it never even entered my mind to command such a thing!
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 7:32 - So, watch out!" says the LORD. "The time will soon come when people will no longer call those places Topheth or the Valley of Ben Hinnom. But they will call that valley the Valley of Slaughter and they will bury so many people in Topheth they will run out of room.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 8:6 - I have listened to them very carefully, but they do not speak honestly. None of them regrets the evil he has done. None of them says, "I have done wrong!" All of them persist in their own wayward course like a horse charging recklessly into battle.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 8:22 - There is still medicinal ointment available in Gilead! There is still a physician there! Why then have my dear people not been restored to health?
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 9:3 - The LORD says, "These people are like soldiers who have readied their bows. Their tongues are always ready to shoot out lies. They have become powerful in the land, but they have not done so by honest means. Indeed, they do one evil thing after another and do not pay attention to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 9:6 - They do one act of violence after another, and one deceitful thing after another. They refuse to pay attention to me," says the LORD.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 9:10 - I said, "I will weep and mourn for the grasslands on the mountains, I will sing a mournful song for the pastures in the wilderness because they are so scorched no one travels through them.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 9:13 - The LORD answered, "This has happened because these people have rejected my laws which I gave them. They have not obeyed me or followed those laws.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 10:11 - You people of Israel should tell those nations this: 'These gods did not make heaven and earth. They will disappear from the earth and from under the heavens.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 10:14 - All these idolaters will prove to be stupid and ignorant. Every goldsmith will be disgraced by the idol he made. For the image he forges is merely a sham. There is no breath in any of those idols.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 10:16 - The LORD, who is the inheritance of Jacob's descendants, is not like them. He is the one who created everything. And the people of Israel are those he claims as his own. He is known as the LORD who rules over all."
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 10:20 - But our tents have been destroyed. The ropes that held them in place have been ripped apart. Our children are gone and are not coming back. There is no survivor to put our tents back up, no one left to hang their tent curtains in place.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 11:10 - They have gone back to the evil ways of their ancestors of old who refused to obey what I told them. They, too, have paid allegiance to other gods and worshiped them.

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 11:11 - So I, the LORD, say this: 'I will soon bring disaster on them which they will not be able to escape! When they cry out to me for help, I will not listen to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 11:14 - So, Jeremiah, do not pray for these people. Do not cry out to me or petition me on their behalf. Do not plead with me to save them. For I will not listen to them when they call out to me for help when disaster strikes them."
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 11:19 - Before this I had been like a docile lamb ready to be led to the slaughter. I did not know they were making plans to kill me. I did not know they were saying, "Let's destroy the tree along with its fruit! Let's remove Jeremiah from the world of the living so people will not even be reminded of him any more."
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 11:23 - Not one of them will survive. I will bring disaster on those men from Anathoth who threatened you. A day of reckoning is coming for them."
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 12:4 - How long must the land be parched and the grass in every field be withered? How long must the animals and the birds die because of the wickedness of the people who live in this land? For these people boast, "God will not see what happens to us."

Unchecked Copy BoxJer 13:11 - For,' I say, 'just as shorts cling tightly to a person's body, so I bound the whole nation of Israel and the whole nation of Judah tightly to me.' I intended for them to be my special people and to bring me fame, honor, and praise. But they would not obey me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 13:14 - And I will smash them like wine bottles against one another, children and parents alike. I will not show any pity, mercy, or compassion. Nothing will keep me from destroying them,' says the LORD."
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 13:19 - The gates of the towns in southern Judah will be shut tight. No one will be able to go in or out of them. All Judah will be carried off into exile. They will be completely carried off into exile.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 13:21 - What will you say when the LORD appoints as rulers over you those allies that you, yourself, had actually prepared as such? Then anguish and agony will grip you like that of a woman giving birth to a baby.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 13:27 - People of Jerusalem, I have seen your adulterous worship, your shameless prostitution to, and your lustful pursuit of, other gods. I have seen your disgusting acts of worship on the hills throughout the countryside. You are doomed to destruction! How long will you continue to be unclean?'"
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 14:4 - They are dismayed because the ground is cracked because there has been no rain in the land. The farmers, too, are dismayed and bury their faces in their hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 14:5 - Even the doe abandons her newborn fawn in the field because there is no grass.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 14:6 - Wild donkeys stand on the hilltops and pant for breath like jackals. Their eyes are strained looking for food, because there is none to be found."
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 14:10 - Then the LORD spoke about these people. "They truly love to go astray. They cannot keep from running away from me. So I am not pleased with them. I will now call to mind the wrongs they have done and punish them for their sins."
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 14:12 - Even if they fast, I will not hear their cries for help. Even if they offer burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them. Instead, I will kill them through wars, famines, and plagues."
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 14:13 - Then I said, "Oh, Lord GOD, look! The prophets are telling them that you said, 'You will not experience war or suffer famine. I will give you lasting peace and prosperity in this land.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 14:14 - Then the LORD said to me, "Those prophets are prophesying lies while claiming my authority! I did not send them. I did not commission them. I did not speak to them. They are prophesying to these people false visions, worthless predictions, and the delusions of their own mind.
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 14:15 - I did not send those prophets, though they claim to be prophesying in my name. They may be saying, 'No war or famine will happen in this land.' But I, the LORD, say this about them: 'War and starvation will kill those prophets.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 14:16 - The people to whom they are prophesying will die through war and famine. Their bodies will be thrown out into the streets of Jerusalem and there will be no one to bury them. This will happen to the men and their wives, their sons, and their daughters. For I will pour out on them the destruction they deserve."
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 14:18 - If I go out into the countryside, I see those who have been killed in battle. If I go into the city, I see those who are sick because of starvation. For both prophet and priest go about their own business in the land without having any real understanding.'"
Unchecked Copy BoxJer 14:19 - Then I said, "LORD, have you completely rejected the nation of Judah? Do you despise the city of Zion? Why have you struck us with such force that we are beyond recovery? We hope for peace, but nothing good has come of it. We hope for a time of relief from our troubles, but experience terror.
