jps@2Kings:20:11 @ And Isaiah the prophet cried unto the LORD; and he brought the shadow ten degrees backward, by which it had gone down on the dial of Ahaz.

jps@2Kings:20:12 @ At that time Berodach-baladan the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent a letter and a present unto Hezekiah; for he had heard that Hezekiah had been sick.

jps@2Kings:20:13 @ And Hezekiah hearkened unto them, and showed them all his treasure-house, the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious oil, and the house of his armour, and all that was found in his treasures; there was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion, that Hezekiah showed them not.

jps@2Kings:20:16 @ And Isaiah said unto Hezekiah: 'Hear the word of the LORD.

jps@2Kings:20:18 @ And of thy sons that shall issue from thee, whom thou shalt beget, shall they take away; and they shall be officers in the palace of the king of Babylon.'

jps@2Kings:21:8 @ neither will I cause the feet of Israel to wander any more out of the land which I gave their fathers; if only they will observe to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the law that My servant Moses commanded them.'

jps@2Kings:21:9 @ But they hearkened not; and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than did the nations, whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.

jps@2Kings:21:11 @ 'Because Manasseh king of Judah hath done these abominations, and hath done wickedly above all that the Amorites did, that were before him, and hath made Judah also to sin with his idols;

jps@2Kings:21:12 @ therefore thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Behold, I bring such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whosoever heareth of it, both his ears shall tingle.

jps@2Kings:22:5 @ and let them deliver it into the hand of the workmen that have the oversight of the house of the LORD; and let them give it to the workmen that are in the house of the LORD, to repair the breaches of the house;

jps@2Kings:22:7 @ Howbeit there was no reckoning made with them of the money that was delivered into their hand; for they dealt faithfully.

jps@2Kings:22:8 @ And Hilkiah the high priest said unto Shaphan the scribe: 'I have found the book of the Law in the house of the LORD.' And Hilkiah delivered the book to Shaphan, and he read it.

jps@2Kings:22:12 @ And the king commanded Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam the son of Shaphan, and Achbor the son of Micaiah, and Shaphan the scribe, and Asaiah the king's servant, saying:

jps@2Kings:22:13 @ 'Go ye, inquire of the LORD for me, and for the people, and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that is found; for great is the wrath of the LORD that is kindled against us, because our fathers have not hearkened unto the words of this book, to do according unto all that which is written concerning us.'

jps@2Kings:22:14 @ So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asaiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe--now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the second quarter--and they spoke with her.

jps@2Kings:22:15 @ And she said unto them: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Tell ye the man that sent you unto me:

jps@2Kings:22:16 @ Thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even all the words of the book which the king of Judah hath read;

jps@2Kings:22:17 @ because they have forsaken Me, and have offered unto other gods, that they might provoke Me with all the work of their hands; therefore My wrath shall be kindled against this place, and it shall not be quenched.

jps@2Kings:22:18 @ But unto the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of the LORD, thus shall ye say to him: Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: As touching the words which thou hast heard,

jps@2Kings:22:19 @ because thy heart was tender, and thou didst humble thyself before the LORD, when thou heardest what I spoke against this place, and against the inhabitants thereof, that they should become an astonishment and a curse, and hast rent thy clothes, and wept before Me, I also have heard thee, saith the LORD.

jps@2Kings:23:1 @ And the king sent, and they gathered unto him all the elders of Judah and of Jerusalem.

jps@2Kings:23:2 @ And the king went up to the house of the LORD, and all the men of Judah and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem with him, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, both small and great; and he read in their ears all the words of the book of the covenant which was found in the house of the LORD.

jps@2Kings:23:3 @ And the king stood on the platform, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep His commandments, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all his heart, and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book; and all the people stood to the covenant.

jps@2Kings:23:4 @ And the king commanded Hilkiah the high priest, and the priests of the second order, and the keepers of the door, to bring forth out of the temple of the LORD all the vessels that were made for Baal, and for the Asherah, and for all the host of heaven; and he burned them without Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and carried the ashes of them unto Beth-el.

jps@2Kings:23:5 @ And he put down the idolatrous priests, whom the kings of Judah had ordained to offer in the high places in the cities of Judah, and in the places round about Jerusalem; them also that offered unto Baal, to the sun, and to the moon, and to the constellations, and to all the host of heaven.

jps@2Kings:23:6 @ And he brought out the Asherah from the house of the LORD, without Jerusalem, unto the brook Kidron, and burned it at the brook Kidron, and stamped it small to powder, and cast the powder thereof upon the graves of the common people.

jps@2Kings:23:8 @ And he brought all the priests out of the cities of Judah, and defiled the high places where the priests had made offerings, from Geba to Beer-sheba; and he broke down the high places of the gates that were at the entrance of the gate of Joshua the governor of the city, which were on a man's left hand as he entered the gate of the city.

jps@2Kings:23:9 @ Nevertheless the priests of the high places came not up to the altar of the LORD in Jerusalem, but they did eat unleavened bread among their brethren.

jps@2Kings:23:10 @ And he defiled Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, that no man might make his son or his daughter to pass through the fire to Molech.

jps@2Kings:23:11 @ And he took away the horses that the kings of Judah had given to the sun, at the entrance of the house of the LORD, by the chamber of Nethan-melech the officer, which was in the precincts; and he burned the chariots of the sun with fire.

jps@2Kings:23:12 @ And the altars that were on the roof of the upper chamber of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two courts of the house of the LORD, did the king break down, and beat them down from thence, and cast the dust of them into the brook Kidron.

jps@2Kings:23:13 @ And the high places that were before Jerusalem, which were on the right hand of the mount of corruption, which Solomon the king of Israel had builded for Ashtoreth the detestation of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh the detestation of Moab, and for Milcom the abomination of the children of Ammon, did the king defile.

jps@2Kings:23:14 @ And he broke in pieces the pillars, and cut down the Asherim, and filled their places with the bones of men.

jps@2Kings:23:15 @ Moreover the altar that was at Beth-el, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, even that altar and the high place he broke down; and he burned the high place and stamped it small to powder, and burned the Asherah.

jps@2Kings:23:16 @ And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the sepulchres that were there in the mount; and he sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, and burned them upon the altar, and defiled it, according to the word of the LORD which the man of God proclaimed, who proclaimed these things.

jps@2Kings:23:17 @ Then he said: 'What monument is that which I see?' And the men of the city told him: 'It is the sepulchre of the man of God, who came from Judah, and proclaimed these things that thou hast done against the altar of Beth-el.'

jps@2Kings:23:18 @ And he said: 'Let him be; let no man move his bones.' So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that came out of Samaria.

jps@2Kings:23:19 @ And all the houses also of the high places that were in the cities of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had made to provoke the LORD, Josiah took away, and did to them according to all the acts that he had done in Beth-el.

jps@2Kings:23:20 @ And he slew all the priests of the high places that were there, upon the altars, and burned men's bones upon them; and he returned to Jerusalem.

jps@2Kings:23:21 @ And the king commanded all the people, saying: 'Keep the passover unto the LORD your God, as it is written in this book of the covenant.'

jps@2Kings:23:22 @ For there was not kept such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah;

jps@2Kings:23:23 @ but in the eighteenth year of king Josiah was this passover kept to the LORD in Jerusalem.

jps@2Kings:23:24 @ Moreover them that divined by a ghost or a familiar spirit, and the teraphim, and the idols, and all the detestable things that were spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, did Josiah put away, that he might confirm the words of the law which were written in the book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house of the LORD.

jps@2Kings:23:25 @ And like unto him was there no king before him, that turned to the LORD with all his heart, and with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the law of Moses; neither after him arose there any like him.

jps@2Kings:23:26 @ Notwithstanding the LORD turned not from the fierceness of His great wrath, wherewith His anger was kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations wherewith Manasseh had provoked Him.

jps@2Kings:23:27 @ And the LORD said: 'I will remove Judah also out of My sight, as I have removed Israel, and I will cast off this city which I have chosen, even Jerusalem, and the house of which I said: My name shall be there.'

jps@2Kings:24:3 @ Surely at the commandment of the LORD came this upon Judah, to remove them out of His sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did;

jps@1Chronicles:15:1 @ And David made him houses in the city of David; and he prepared a place for the ark of God, and pitched for it a tent.

jps@2Chronicles:11:3 @ 'Speak unto Rehoboam the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin, saying:

jps@2Chronicles:11:4 @ Thus saith the LORD: Ye shall not go up, nor fight against your brethren; return every man to his house, for this thing is of Me.' So they hearkened unto the words of the LORD, and returned from going against Jeroboam.

jps@2Chronicles:11:11 @ And he fortified the strongholds, and put captains in them, and store of victual, and oil and wine.

jps@2Chronicles:11:13 @ And the priests and the Levites that were in all Israel presented themselves to him out of all their border.

jps@2Chronicles:11:14 @ For the Levites left their open land and their possession, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons cast them off, that they should not execute the priest's office unto the LORD;

jps@2Chronicles:11:16 @ And after them, out of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek the LORD, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice unto the LORD, the God of their fathers.

jps@2Chronicles:11:17 @ So they strengthened the kingdom of Judah, and made Rehoboam the son of Solomon strong, three years; for they walked three years in the way of David and Solomon.

jps@2Chronicles:11:18 @ And Rehoboam took him a wife, Mahalath the daughter of Jerimoth the son of David, and of Abihail the daughter of Eliab the son of Jesse;

jps@2Chronicles:11:20 @ And after her he took Maacah the daughter of Absalom; and she bore him Abijah, and Attai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.

jps@2Chronicles:11:21 @ And Rehoboam loved Maacah the daughter of Absalom above all his wives and his concubines--for he took eighteen wives, and threescore concubines, and begot twenty and eight sons and threescore daughters.

jps@2Chronicles:11:22 @ And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maacah to be chief, even the prince among his brethren; for he was minded to make him king.

jps@2Chronicles:11:23 @ And he dealt wisely, and dispersed of all his sons throughout all the lands of Judah and Benjamin, unto every fortified city; and he gave them victual in abundance. And he sought for them many wives.

jps@2Chronicles:12:1 @ And it came to pass, when the kingdom of Rehoboam was established, and he was strong, that he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.

jps@2Chronicles:12:2 @ And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had dealt treacherously with the LORD,

jps@2Chronicles:12:3 @ with twelve hundred chariots, and threescore thousand horsemen; and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.

jps@2Chronicles:12:5 @ Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said unto them: 'Thus saith the LORD: Ye have forsaken Me, therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.'

jps@2Chronicles:12:6 @ Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said: 'The LORD is righteous.'

jps@2Chronicles:12:7 @ And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying: 'They have humbled themselves; I will not destroy them; but I will grant them some deliverance, and My wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

jps@2Chronicles:12:8 @ Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know My service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.'

jps@2Chronicles:12:9 @ So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all away; he took away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.

jps@2Chronicles:12:10 @ And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, that kept the door of the king's house.

jps@2Chronicles:12:11 @ And it was so, that as oft as the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and bore them, and brought them back into the guard-chamber.

jps@2Chronicles:12:12 @ And when he humbled himself, the anger of the LORD turned from him, that He would not destroy him altogether; and moreover in Judah there were good things found.

jps@2Chronicles:12:13 @ So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there; and his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

jps@2Chronicles:12:15 @ Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, after the manner of genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

jps@2Chronicles:12:16 @ And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David; and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.

jps@2Chronicles:13:1 @ In the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam began Abijah to reign over Judah.

jps@2Chronicles:13:2 @ Three years reigned he in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

jps@2Chronicles:13:3 @ And Abijah joined battle with an army of valiant men of war, even four hundred thousand chosen men; and Jeroboam set the battle in array against him with eight hundred thousand chosen men, who were mighty men of valour.

jps@2Chronicles:13:4 @ And Abijah stood up upon mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said: 'Hear me, O Jeroboam and all Israel;

jps@2Chronicles:13:5 @ ought ye not to know that the LORD, the God of Israel, gave the kingdom over Israel to David for ever, even to him and to his sons by a covenant of salt?

jps@2Chronicles:13:6 @ Yet Jeroboam the son of Nebat, the servant of Solomon the son of David, rose up, and rebelled against his lord.

jps@2Chronicles:13:7 @ And there were gathered unto him vain men, base fellows that strengthened themselves against Rehoboam the son of Solomon, when Rehoboam was young and faint-hearted, and could not withstand them.

jps@2Chronicles:13:8 @ And now ye think to withstand the kingdom of the LORD in the hand of the sons of David; and ye are a great multitude, and there are with you the golden calves which Jeroboam made you for gods.

jps@2Chronicles:13:9 @ Have ye not driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites, and have made you priests after the manner of the peoples of other lands? so that whosoever cometh to consecrate himself with a young bullock and seven rams, the same becometh a priest of them that are no gods.

jps@2Chronicles:13:10 @ But as for us, the LORD is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and we have priests ministering unto the LORD, the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their work;

jps@2Chronicles:13:11 @ and they burn unto the LORD every morning and every evening burnt-offerings and sweet incense; the showbread also set they in order upon the pure table; and the candlestick of gold with the lamps thereof, to burn every evening; for we keep the charge of the LORD our God; but ye have forsaken Him.

jps@2Chronicles:13:12 @ And, behold, God is with us at our head, and His priests with the trumpets of alarm to sound an alarm against you. O children of Israel, fight ye not against the LORD, the God of your fathers; for ye shall not prosper.'

jps@2Chronicles:13:15 @ Then the men of Judah gave a shout; and as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, that God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

jps@2Chronicles:13:16 @ And the children of Israel fled before Judah; and God delivered them into their hand.

jps@2Chronicles:13:17 @ And Abijah and his people slew them with a great slaughter; so there fell down slain of Israel five hundred thousand chosen men.

jps@2Chronicles:13:18 @ Thus the children of Israel were brought under at that time, and the children of Judah prevailed, because they relied upon the LORD, the God of their fathers.

jps@2Chronicles:13:19 @ And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and took cities from him, Bethel with the towns thereof, and Jeshanah with the towns thereof, and Ephrain with the towns thereof.

jps@2Chronicles:13:20 @ Neither did Jeroboam recover strength again in the days of Abijah; and the LORD smote him, and he died.

jps@2Chronicles:13:22 @ And the rest of the acts of Abijah, and his ways, and his sayings, are written in the commentary of the prophet Iddo.

jps@2Chronicles:14:1 @ So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Asa his son reigned in his stead; in his days the land was quiet ten years.

jps@2Chronicles:14:2 @ And Asa did that which was good and right in the eyes of the LORD his God;

jps@2Chronicles:14:4 @ and commanded Judah to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment.

jps@2Chronicles:14:5 @ Also he took away out of all the cities of Judah the high places and the sun-images; and the kingdom was quiet before him.

jps@2Chronicles:14:8 @ And Asa had an army that bore bucklers and spears, out of Judah three hundred thousand; and out of Benjamin, that bore shields and drew bows, two hundred and fourscore thousand; all these were mighty men of valour.

jps@2Chronicles:14:9 @ And there came out against them Zerah the Ethiopian with an army of a thousand thousand, and three hundred chariots; and he came unto Mareshah.

jps@2Chronicles:14:10 @ Then Asa went out to meet him, and they set the battle in array in the valley of Zephath at Mareshah.

jps@2Chronicles:14:13 @ And Asa and the people that were with him pursued them unto Gerar; and there fell of the Ethiopians so that none remained alive; for they were shattered before the LORD, and before His host; and they carried away very much booty.

jps@2Chronicles:14:15 @ They smote also the tents of cattle, and carried away sheep in abundance and camels, and returned to Jerusalem.

jps@2Chronicles:15:1 @ And the spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded;

jps@2Chronicles:15:2 @ and he went out to meet Asa, and said unto him: 'Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: the LORD is with you, while ye are with Him; and if ye seek Him, He will be found of you; but if ye forsake Him, He will forsake you.

jps@2Chronicles:15:4 @ but when in their distress they turned unto the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found of them.

jps@2Chronicles:15:5 @ And in those times there was no peace to him that went out, nor to him that came in, but great discomfitures were upon all the inhabitants of the lands.

jps@2Chronicles:15:6 @ And they were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God did discomfit them with all manner of adversity.

jps@2Chronicles:15:8 @ And when Asa heard these words, even the prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the detestable things out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill-country of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the porch of the LORD.

jps@2Chronicles:15:9 @ And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and them that sojourned with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon; for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

jps@2Chronicles:15:10 @ So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.

jps@2Chronicles:15:11 @ And they sacrificed unto the LORD in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred oxen and seven thousand sheep.

jps@2Chronicles:15:12 @ And they entered into the covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;

jps@2Chronicles:15:13 @ and that whosoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

jps@2Chronicles:15:15 @ And all Judah rejoiced at the oath; for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought Him with their whole desire; and He was found of them; and the LORD gave them rest round about.

jps@2Chronicles:15:16 @ And also Maacah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and made dust of it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

jps@2Chronicles:15:17 @ But the high places were not taken away out of Israel; nevertheless the heart of Asa was whole all his days.

jps@2Chronicles:15:18 @ And he brought into the house of God the things that his father had hallowed, and that he himself had hallowed, silver, and gold, and vessels.

jps@2Chronicles:15:19 @ And there was no more war unto the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.

jps@2Chronicles:16:1 @ In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasa king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

jps@2Chronicles:16:2 @ Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Ben- hadad king of Aram, that dwelt at Damascus, saying:

jps@2Chronicles:16:3 @ 'There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father; behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart from me.'

jps@2Chronicles:16:4 @ And Ben-hadad hearkened unto king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store-cities of Naphtali.

jps@2Chronicles:16:5 @ And it came to pass, when Baasa heard thereof, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.

jps@2Chronicles:16:6 @ Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, wherewith Baasa had builded; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.

jps@2Chronicles:16:7 @ And at that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said unto him: 'Because thou hast relied on the king of Aram, and hast not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore is the host of the king of Aram escaped out of thy hand.

jps@2Chronicles:16:9 @ For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is whole toward Him. Herein thou hast done foolishly; for from henceforth thou shalt have wars.'

jps@2Chronicles:16:10 @ Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in the prison-house; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.

jps@2Chronicles:16:11 @ And, behold, the acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:16:12 @ And in the thirty and ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great; yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.

jps@2Chronicles:16:13 @ And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.

jps@2Chronicles:16:14 @ And they buried him in his own sepulchres, which he had hewn out for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odours and divers kinds of spices prepared by the perfumers' art; and they made a very great burning for him.

jps@2Chronicles:17:2 @ And he placed forces in all the fortified cities of Judah, and set garrisons in the land of Judah, and in the cities of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.

jps@2Chronicles:17:3 @ And the LORD was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the first ways of his father David, and sought not unto the Baalim;

jps@2Chronicles:17:4 @ but sought to the God of his father, and walked in His commandments, and not after the doings of Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:17:6 @ And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the LORD; and furthermore he took away the high places and the Asherim out of Judah.

jps@2Chronicles:17:7 @ Also in the third year of his reign he sent his princes, even Ben-hail, and Obadiah, and Zechariah, and Nethanel, and Micaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah;

jps@2Chronicles:17:9 @ And they taught in Judah, having the book of the Law of the LORD with them; and they went about throughout all the cities of Judah, and taught among the people.

jps@2Chronicles:17:10 @ And a terror from the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.

jps@2Chronicles:17:11 @ And some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat presents, and silver for tribute; the Arabians also brought him flocks, seven thousand and seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and seven hundred he-goats.

jps@2Chronicles:17:12 @ And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceedingly; and he built in Judah castles and cities of store.

jps@2Chronicles:17:13 @ And he had many works in the cities of Judah; and men of war, mighty men of valour, in Jerusalem.

jps@2Chronicles:17:14 @ And this was the numbering of them according to their fathers' houses: of Judah, the captains of thousands: Adnah the captain, and with him mighty men of valour three hundred thousand;

jps@2Chronicles:17:16 @ and next to him Amasiah the son of Zichri, who willingly offered himself unto the LORD, and with him two hundred thousand mighty men of valour;

jps@2Chronicles:17:17 @ and of Benjamin: Eliada a mighty man of valour, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bow and shield;

jps@2Chronicles:18:2 @ And after a lapse of years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that were with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramoth-gilead.

jps@2Chronicles:18:3 @ And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah: 'Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth-gilead?' And he answered him: 'I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:4 @ And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel: 'Inquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD today.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:5 @ Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said unto them: 'Shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?' And they said: 'Go up; for God will deliver it into the hand of the king.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:6 @ But Jehoshaphat said: 'Is there not here besides a prophet of the LORD, that we might inquire of him?'

jps@2Chronicles:18:7 @ And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat: 'There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of the LORD; but I hate him; for he never prophesieth good concerning me, but always evil; the same is Micaiah the son of Imla.' And Jehoshaphat said: 'Let not the king say so.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:8 @ Then the king of Israel called an officer, and said: 'Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:9 @ Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, arrayed in their robes, and they sat in a threshing-floor at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

jps@2Chronicles:18:10 @ And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made him horns of iron, and said: 'Thus saith the LORD: With these shalt thou gore the Arameans, until they be consumed.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:11 @ And all the prophets prophesied so, saying: 'Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper; for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:12 @ And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying: 'Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one mouth; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:15 @ And the king said to him: 'How many times shall I adjure thee that thou speak unto me nothing but the truth in the name of the LORD.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:17 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: 'Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?'

jps@2Chronicles:18:18 @ And he said: 'Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting upon His throne, and all the host of heaven standing on His right hand and on His left.

jps@2Chronicles:18:19 @ And the LORD said: who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-gilead? And one spoke saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.

jps@2Chronicles:18:21 @ And he said: I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And He said: Thou shalt entice him, and shalt prevail also; go forth, and do so.

jps@2Chronicles:18:22 @ Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets; and the LORD hath spoken evil concerning thee.'

jps@2Chronicles:18:23 @ Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the check, and said: 'Which way went the spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?'

jps@2Chronicles:20:26 @ And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Beracah; for there they blessed the LORD; therefore the name of that place was called The valley of Beracah, unto this day.

jps@2Chronicles:20:29 @ And a terror from God was on all the kingdoms of the countries, when they heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:20:30 @ So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet; for his God gave him rest round about.

jps@2Chronicles:20:31 @ And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah; he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

jps@2Chronicles:21:3 @ And their father gave them great gifts, of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah; but the kingdom gave he to Jehoram, because he was the first-born.

jps@2Chronicles:21:4 @ Now when Jehoram was risen up over the kingdom of his father, and had strengthened himself, he slew all his brethren with the sword, and divers also of the princes of Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:21:6 @ And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Ahab; for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife; and he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.

jps@2Chronicles:21:7 @ Howbeit the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that He had made with David, and as He promised to give a lamp to him and to his children alway.

jps@2Chronicles:21:8 @ In his days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.

jps@2Chronicles:21:9 @ Then Jehoram passed over with his captains, and all his chariots with him; and he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites that compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots.

jps@2Chronicles:21:10 @ So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day; then did Libnah revolt at the same time from under his hand; because he had forsaken the LORD, the God of his fathers.

jps@2Chronicles:21:11 @ Moreover he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go astray, and drew Judah away.

jps@2Chronicles:21:12 @ And there came a writing to him from Elijah the prophet, saying: 'Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father: Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah;

jps@2Chronicles:29:32 @ And the number of the burnt-offerings, which the congregation brought, was threescore and ten bullocks, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for a burnt-offering to the LORD.

jps@2Chronicles:29:34 @ But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt-offerings; wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.

jps@2Chronicles:30:18 @ For a multitude of the people, even many of Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it is written. For Hezekiah had prayed for them, saying: 'The good LORD pardon

jps@2Chronicles:30:24 @ For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation for offerings a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep; and priests sanctified themselves in great numbers.

jps@Ezra:8:22 @ For I was ashamed to ask of the king a band of soldiers and horsemen to help us against the enemy in the way; because we had spoken unto the king, saying: 'The hand of our God is upon all them that seek Him, for good; but His power and His wrath is against all them that forsake Him.'

jps@Ezra:8:23 @ So we fasted and besought our God for this; and He was entreated of us.

jps@Ezra:8:24 @ Then I separated twelve of the chiefs of the priests, besides Sherebiah, Hashabiah, and ten of their brethren with them,

jps@Ezra:8:25 @ and weighed unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, even the offering for the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered;

jps@Ezra:8:35 @ The children of the captivity, that were come out of exile, offered burnt-offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering; all this was a burnt-offering unto the LORD.

jps@Ezra:8:36 @ And they delivered the king's commissions unto the king's satraps, and to the governors beyond the River; and they furthered the people and the house of God.

jps@Ezra:9:5 @ And at the evening offering I arose up from my fasting, even with my garment and my mantle rent; and I fell upon my knees, and spread out my hands unto the LORD my God;

jps@Ezra:9:7 @ Since the days of our fathers we have been exceeding guilty unto this day; and for our iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, and to spoiling, and to confusion of face, as it is this day.

jps@Ezra:9:9 @ For we are bondmen; yet our God hath not forsaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house of our God, and to repair the ruins thereof, and to give us a fence in Judah and in Jerusalem.

jps@Ezra:9:11 @ which Thou hast commanded by Thy servants the prophets, saying: The land, unto which ye go to possess it, is an unclean land through the uncleanness of the peoples of the lands, through their abominations, wherewith they have filled it from one end to another with their filthiness.

jps@Ezra:9:15 @ O LORD, the God of Israel, Thou art righteous; for we are left a remnant that is escaped, as it is this day; behold, we are before Thee in our guiltiness; for none can stand before Thee because of this.'

jps@Ezra:10:1 @ Now while Ezra prayed, and made confession, weeping and casting himself down before the house of God, there was gathered together unto him out of Israel a very great congregation of men and women and children; for the people wept very sore.

jps@Ezra:10:2 @ And Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said unto Ezra: 'We have broken faith with our God, and have married foreign women of the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope for Israel concerning this thing.

jps@Ezra:10:3 @ Now therefore let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives, and such as are born of them, according to the counsel of the LORD, and of those that tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.

jps@Ezra:10:5 @ Then arose Ezra, and made the chiefs of the priests, the Levites, and all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. So they swore.

jps@Ezra:10:6 @ Then Ezra rose up from before the house of God, and went into the chamber of Jehohanan the son of Eliashib; and when he came thither, he did eat no bread, nor drink water; for he mourned because of the faithlessness of them of the captivity.

jps@Ezra:10:8 @ and that whosoever came not within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be forfeited, and himself separated from the congregation of the captivity.

jps@Ezra:10:9 @ Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered themselves together unto Jerusalem within the three days; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people sat in the broad place before the house of God, trembling because of this matter, and for the great rain.

jps@Ezra:10:10 @ And Ezra the priest stood up, and said unto them: 'Ye have broken faith, and have married foreign women, to increase the guilt of Israel.

jps@Ezra:10:11 @ Now therefore make confession unto the LORD, the God of your fathers, and do His pleasure; and separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women.'

jps@Nehemiah:4:4 @ Hear, O our God; for we are despised; and turn back their reproach upon their own head, and give them up to spoiling in a land of captivity;

jps@Nehemiah:4:6 @ So we built the wall; and all the wall was joined together unto half the height thereof; for the people had a mind to work.

jps@Nehemiah:4:7 @ But it came to pass that, when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the repairing of the walls of Jerusalem went forward, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth;

jps@Nehemiah:4:8 @ and they conspired all of them together to come and fight against Jerusalem, and to cause confusion therein.

jps@Nehemiah:4:9 @ But we made our prayer unto our God, and set a watch against them day and night, because of them.

jps@Nehemiah:4:10 @ And Judah said: 'The strength of the bearers of burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbish; so that we are not able to build the wall.'

jps@Nehemiah:4:11 @ And our adversaries said: 'They shall not know, neither see, till we come into the midst of them, and slay them, and cause the work to cease.'

jps@Nehemiah:4:13 @ Therefore set I in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, in the open places, I even set the people after their families with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

jps@Nehemiah:4:14 @ And I looked, and rose up, and said unto the nobles, and to the rulers, and to the rest of the people: 'Be not ye afraid of them; remember the Lord, who is great and awful, and fight for your brethren, your sons and your daughters, your wives and your houses.'

jps@Nehemiah:4:15 @ And it came to pass, when our enemies heard that it was known unto us, and God had brought their counsel to nought, that we returned all of us to the wall, every one unto his work.

jps@Nehemiah:4:16 @ And it came to pass from that time forth, that half of my servants wrought in the work, and half of them held the spears, the shields, and the bows, and the coats of mail; and the rulers were behind all the house of Judah.

jps@Nehemiah:4:17 @ They that builded the wall and they that bore burdens laded themselves, every one with one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the other held his weapon;

jps@Nehemiah:4:19 @ And I said unto the nobles, and to the rulers and to the rest of the people: 'The work is great and large, and we are separated upon the wall, one far from another;

jps@Nehemiah:4:20 @ in what place soever ye hear the sound of the horn, resort ye thither unto us; our God will fight for us.'

jps@Nehemiah:4:21 @ So we wrought in the work; and half of them held the spears from the rising of the morning till the stars appeared.

jps@Nehemiah:4:23 @ So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my servants, nor the men of the guard that followed me, none of us put off our clothes, every one that went to the water had his weapon.

jps@Nehemiah:5:1 @ Then there arose a great cry of the people and of their wives against their brethren the Jews.

jps@Nehemiah:5:3 @ Some also there were that said: 'We are mortgaging our fields, and our vineyards, and our houses; let us get corn, because of the dearth.'

jps@Nehemiah:5:5 @ Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children; and, lo, we bring into bondage our sons and our daughters to be servants, and some of our daughters are brought into bondage already; neither is it in our power to help it; for other men have our fields and our vineyards.'

jps@Nehemiah:5:9 @ Also I said: 'The thing that ye do is not good; ought ye not to walk in the fear of our God, because of the reproach of the heathen our enemies?

jps@Nehemiah:5:10 @ And I likewise, my brethren and my servants, have lent them money and corn. I pray you, let us leave off this exaction.

jps@Nehemiah:5:11 @ Restore, I pray you, to them, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their oliveyards, and their houses, also the hundred pieces of silver, and the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact of them.'

jps@Nehemiah:5:12 @ Then said they: 'We will restore them, and will require nothing of them; so will we do, even as thou sayest.' Then I called the priests, and took an oath of them, that they should do according to this promise.

jps@Nehemiah:5:14 @ Moreover from the time that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor.

jps@Nehemiah:5:15 @ But the former governors that were before me laid burdens upon the people, and took of them for bread and wine above forty shekels of silver; yea, even their servants lorded over the people; but so did not I, because of the fear of God.

jps@Nehemiah:5:16 @ Yea, also I set hand to the work of this wall, neither bought we any land; and all my servants were gathered thither unto the work.

jps@Nehemiah:5:17 @ Moreover there were at my table of the Jews and the rulers a hundred and fifty men, beside those that came unto us from among the nations that were round about us.

jps@Nehemiah:5:18 @ Now that which was prepared for one day was one ox and six choice sheep, also fowls were prepared for me; and once in ten days store of all sorts of wine; yet for all this I demanded not the bread of the governor, because the service was heavy upon this people.

jps@Nehemiah:6:1 @ Now it came to pass, when it was reported to Sanballat and Tobiah, and to Geshem the Arabian, and unto the rest of our enemies, that I had builded the wall, and that there was no breach left therein--though even unto that time I had not set up the doors in the gates--

jps@Nehemiah:6:2 @ that Sanballat and Geshem sent unto me, saying: 'Come, let us meet together in one of the villages in the plain of Ono.' But they thought to do me mischief.

jps@Nehemiah:6:7 @ And thou hast also appointed prophets to proclaim of thee at Jerusalem, saying: There is a king in Judah; and now shall it be reported to the king according to these words. Come now therefore, and let us take counsel together.'

jps@Nehemiah:6:8 @ Then I sent unto him, saying: 'There are no such things done as thou sayest, but thou feignest them out of thine own heart.'

jps@Nehemiah:6:10 @ And as for me, I went unto the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah the son of Mehetabel, who was shut up; and he said: 'Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us shut the doors of the temple; for they will come to slay thee; yea, in the night will they come to slay thee.'

jps@Nehemiah:6:14 @ Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets, that would have me put in fear.

jps@Nehemiah:6:15 @ So the wall was finished in the twenty and fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty and two days.

jps@Nehemiah:6:16 @ And it came to pass, when all our enemies heard thereof, that all the nations that were about us feared, and were much cast down in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work was wrought of our God.

jps@Nehemiah:6:17 @ Moreover in those days the nobles of Judah sent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of Tobiah came unto them.

jps@Nehemiah:6:18 @ For there were many in Judah sworn unto him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah to wife.

jps@Nehemiah:6:19 @ Also they spoke of his good deeds before me, and reported my words to him. And Tobiah sent letters to put me in fear.

jps@Nehemiah:7:2 @ that I gave my brother Hanani, and Hananiah the governor of the castle, charge over Jerusalem; for he was a faithful man, and feared God above many.

jps@Nehemiah:7:3 @ And I said unto them: 'Let not the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun be hot; and while they stand on guard, let them shut the doors, and bar ye them; and let watches be appointed of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and every one to be over against his house.'

jps@Nehemiah:7:5 @ And my God put into my heart to gather together the nobles, and the rulers, and the people, that they might be reckoned by genealogy. And I found the book of the genealogy of them that came up at the first, and I found written therein:

jps@Esther:2:16 @ So Esther was taken unto king Ahasuerus into his house royal in the tenth month, which is the month Tebeth, in the seventh year of his reign.

jps@Esther:2:17 @ And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favour in his sight more than all the virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

jps@Esther:2:18 @ Then the king made a great feast unto all his princes and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he made a release to the provinces, and gave gifts, according to the bounty of the king.

jps@Esther:2:20 @ Esther had not yet made known her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her; for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him--

jps@Esther:2:21 @ in those days, while Mordecai sat in the king's gate, two of the king's chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those that kept the door, were wroth, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.

jps@Esther:3:1 @ After these things did king Ahasuerus promote Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him, and set his seat above all the princes that were with him.

jps@Esther:3:5 @ And when Haman saw that Mordecai bowed not down, nor prostrated himself before him, then was Haman full of wrath.

jps@Esther:3:6 @ But it seemed contemptible in his eyes to lay hands on Mordecai alone; for they had made known to him the people of Mordecai; wherefore Haman sought to destroy all the Jews that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus, even the people of Mordecai.

jps@Esther:3:7 @ In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasuerus, they cast pur, that is, the lot, before Haman from day to day, and from month to month, to the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.

jps@Esther:3:9 @ If it please the king, let it be written that they be destroyed; and I will pay ten thousand talents of silver into the hands of those that have the charge of the king's business, to bring it into the king's treasuries.'

jps@Esther:5:11 @ And Haman recounted unto them the glory of his riches, and the multitude of his children, and everything as to how the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the princes and servants of the king.

jps@Esther:5:14 @ Then said Zeresh his wife and all his friends unto him: 'Let a gallows be made of fifty cubits high, and in the morning speak thou unto the king that Mordecai may be hanged thereon; then go thou in merrily with the king unto the banquet.'

jps@Job:8:17 @ His roots are wrapped about the heap, he beholdeth the place of stones.

jps@Job:8:19 @ Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others spring.

jps@Job:8:22 @ They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the tent of the wicked shall be no more.

jps@Job:9:2 @ Of a truth I know that it is so; and how can man be just with God?

jps@Job:9:3 @ If one should desire to contend with Him, he could not answer Him one of a thousand.

jps@Job:9:6 @ Who shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.

jps@Job:9:8 @ Who alone stretcheth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.

jps@Job:9:9 @ Who maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.

jps@Job:9:13 @ God will not withdraw His anger; the helpers of Rahab did stoop under Him.

jps@Job:9:19 @ If it be a matter of strength, lo, He is mighty! and if of justice, who will appoint me a time?

jps@Job:9:23 @ If the scourge slay suddenly, He will mock at the calamity of the guiltless.

jps@Job:9:24 @ The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if it be not He, who then is it?

jps@Job:9:27 @ If I say: 'I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer',

jps@Job:9:28 @ I am afraid of all my pains, I know that Thou wilt not hold me guiltless.

jps@Job:10:1 @ My soul is weary of my life; I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

jps@Job:10:3 @ Is it good unto Thee that Thou shouldest oppress, that Thou shouldest despise the work of Thy hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?

jps@Job:10:4 @ Hast Thou eyes of flesh? or seest Thou as man seeth?

jps@Job:10:5 @ Are Thy days as the days of man, or Thy years as a man's days,

jps@Job:10:7 @ Although Thou knowest that I shall not be condemned; and there is none that can deliver out of Thy hand?

jps@Job:10:18 @ Wherefore then hast Thou brought me forth out of the womb? Would that I had perished, and no eye had seen me!

jps@Job:10:21 @ Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

jps@Job:10:22 @ A land of thick darkness, as darkness itself; a land of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.

jps@Job:11:2 @ Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be accounted right?

jps@Job:11:6 @ And that He would tell thee the secrets of wisdom, that sound wisdom is manifold! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.

jps@Job:11:7 @ Canst thou find out the deep things of God? Canst thou attain unto the purpose of the Almighty?

jps@Job:11:9 @ The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

jps@Job:11:20 @ But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall have no way to flee, and their hope shall be the drooping of the soul.

jps@Job:12:5 @ A contemptible brand in the thought of him that is at ease, a thing ready for them whose foot slippeth.

jps@Job:12:6 @ The tents of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure, in whatsoever God bringeth into their hand.

jps@Job:12:7 @ But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee;

jps@Job:12:8 @ Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee; and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee;

jps@Job:12:9 @ Who knoweth not among all these, that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?

jps@Job:12:10 @ In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.--

jps@Job:12:12 @ Is wisdom with aged men, and understanding in length of days?--

jps@Job:12:18 @ He looseth the bond of kings, and bindeth their loins with a girdle.

jps@Job:12:20 @ He removeth the speech of men of trust, and taketh away the sense of the elders.

jps@Job:12:21 @ He poureth contempt upon princes, and looseth the belt of the strong.

jps@Job:12:22 @ He uncovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.

jps@Job:12:24 @ He taketh away the heart of the chiefs of the people of the land, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.

jps@Job:13:4 @ But ye are plasterers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.

jps@Job:13:6 @ Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.

jps@Job:13:12 @ Your memorials shall be like unto ashes, your eminences to eminences of clay.

jps@Job:13:26 @ That Thou shouldest write bitter things against me, and make me to inherit the iniquities of my youth.

jps@Job:13:27 @ Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; Thou drawest Thee a line about the soles of my feet;

jps@Job:14:1 @ Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.

jps@Job:14:4 @ Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.

jps@Job:14:5 @ Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with Thee, and Thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;

jps@Job:14:7 @ For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

jps@Job:14:8 @ Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;

jps@Job:14:9 @ Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a plant.

jps@Job:14:12 @ So man lieth down and riseth not; till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be roused out of their sleep.

jps@Job:14:14 @ If a man die, may he live again? All the days of my service would I wait, till my relief should come--

jps@Job:14:15 @ Thou wouldest call, and I would answer Thee; Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of Thy hands.

jps@Job:14:18 @ And surely the mountain falling crumbleth away, and the rock is removed out of its place;

jps@Job:14:19 @ The waters wear the stones; the overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth; so Thou destroyest the hope of man.

jps@Job:15:3 @ Should he reason with unprofitable talk, or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?

jps@Job:15:5 @ For thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.

jps@Job:15:8 @ Dost thou hearken in the council of God? And dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?

jps@Job:15:11 @ Are the consolations of God too small for thee, and the word that dealeth gently with thee?

jps@Job:15:13 @ That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth.

jps@Job:15:14 @ What is man, that he should be clean? And he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

jps@Job:15:20 @ The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.

jps@Job:15:21 @ A sound of terrors is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.

jps@Job:15:22 @ He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.

jps@Job:15:23 @ He wandereth abroad for bread: 'Where is it?' He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.

jps@Job:15:26 @ He runneth upon him with a stiff neck, with the thick bosses of his bucklers.

jps@Job:15:27 @ Because he hath covered his face with his fatness, and made collops of fat on his loins;

jps@Job:15:30 @ He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of His mouth shall he go away.

jps@Job:15:33 @ He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.

jps@Job:15:34 @ For the company of the godless shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tents of bribery.

jps@Job:16:5 @ I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips would assuage your grief.

jps@Job:16:11 @ God delivereth me to the ungodly, and casteth me into the hands of the wicked.

jps@Job:16:16 @ My face is reddened with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;

jps@Job:16:19 @ Even now, behold, my Witness is in heaven, and He that testifieth of me is on high.

jps@Job:16:21 @ That He would set aright a man contending with God, as a son of man setteth aright his neighbour!

jps@Job:17:5 @ He that denounceth his friends for the sake of flattery, even the eyes of his children shall fail.

jps@Job:17:6 @ He hath made me also a byword of the people; and I am become one in whose face they spit.

jps@Job:17:7 @ Mine eye also is dimmed by reason of vexation, and all my members are as a shadow.

jps@Job:17:11 @ My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.

jps@Job:17:12 @ They change the night into day; the light is short because of darkness.

jps@Job:17:16 @ They shall go down to the bars of the nether-world, when we are at rest together in the dust.

jps@Job:18:4 @ Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?

jps@Job:18:5 @ Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.

jps@Job:18:7 @ The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.

jps@Job:18:13 @ It shall devour the members of his body, yea, the first-born of death shall devour his members.

jps@Job:18:14 @ That wherein he trusteth shall be plucked out of his tent; and he shall be brought to the king of terrors.

jps@Job:18:15 @ There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his; brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

jps@Job:18:18 @ He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

jps@Job:18:21 @ Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

jps@Job:19:9 @ He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.

jps@Job:19:11 @ He hath also kindled His wrath against me, and He counteth me unto Him as one of His adversaries.

jps@Job:19:17 @ My breath is abhorred of my wife, and I am loathsome to the children of my tribe.

jps@Job:19:20 @ My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.

jps@Job:19:21 @ Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.

jps@Job:19:28 @ If ye say: 'How we will persecute him!' seeing that the root of the matter is found in me;

jps@Job:19:29 @ Be ye afraid of the sword; for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.

jps@Job:20:2 @ Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, even by reason of mine agitation that is in me.

jps@Job:20:3 @ I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame, but out of my understanding my spirit answereth me.

jps@Job:20:4 @ Knowest thou not this of old time, since man was placed upon earth,

jps@Job:20:5 @ That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the godless but for a moment?

jps@Job:20:8 @ He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found; yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.

jps@Job:20:11 @ His bones are full of his youth, but it shall lie down with him in the dust.

jps@Job:20:14 @ Yet his food in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.

jps@Job:20:15 @ He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again; God shall cast them out of his belly.

jps@Job:20:16 @ He shall suck the poison of asps; the viper's tongue shall slay him.

jps@Job:20:17 @ He shall not look upon the rivers, the flowing streams of honey and curd.

jps@Job:20:22 @ In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits; the hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him.

jps@Job:20:23 @ It shall be for the filling of his belly; He shall cast the fierceness of His wrath upon him, and shall cause it to rain upon him into his flesh.

jps@Job:20:24 @ If he flee from the iron weapon, the bow of brass shall strike him through.

jps@Job:20:25 @ He draweth it forth, and it cometh out of his body; yea, the glittering point cometh out of his gall; terrors are upon him.

jps@Job:20:28 @ The increase of his house shall depart, his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.

jps@Job:20:29 @ This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.

jps@Job:21:8 @ Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.

jps@Job:21:9 @ Their houses are safe, without fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.

jps@Job:21:12 @ They sing to the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.

jps@Job:21:14 @ Yet they said unto God: 'Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of Thy ways.

jps@Job:21:15 @ What is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? And what profit should we have, if we pray unto Him?'--

jps@Job:21:16 @ Lo, their prosperity is not in their hand; the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

jps@Job:21:17 @ How oft is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out? that their calamity cometh upon them? that He distributeth pains in His anger?

jps@Job:21:20 @ Let his own eyes see his destruction, and let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

jps@Job:21:21 @ For what pleasure hath he in his house after him? seeing the number of his months is determined.

jps@Job:21:24 @ His pails are full of milk, and the marrow of his bones is moistened.

jps@Job:21:25 @ And another dieth in bitterness of soul, and hath never tasted of good.

jps@Job:21:28 @ For ye say: 'Where is the house of the prince? And where is the tent wherein the wicked dwelt?'

jps@Job:21:30 @ That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity, that they are led forth to the day of wrath?

jps@Job:21:33 @ The clods of the valley are sweet unto him, and all men draw after him, as there were innumerable before him.

jps@Job:22:2 @ Can a man be profitable unto God? Or can he that is wise be profitable unto Him?

jps@Job:22:4 @ Is it for thy fear of Him that He reproveth thee, that He entereth with thee into judgment?

jps@Job:22:6 @ For thou hast taken pledges of thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

jps@Job:22:8 @ And as a mighty man, who hath the earth, and as a man of rank, who dwelleth in it,

jps@Job:22:9 @ Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

jps@Job:22:11 @ Or darkness, that thou canst not see, and abundance of waters cover thee.

jps@Job:22:12 @ Is not God in the height of heaven? And behold the topmost of the stars, how high they are!

jps@Job:22:14 @ Thick clouds are a covering to Him, that He seeth not; and He walketh in the circuit of heaven.'

jps@Job:22:18 @ Yet He filled their houses with good things--but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

jps@Job:22:20 @ 'Surely their substance is cut off, and their abundance the fire hath consumed.'

jps@Job:22:24 @ And lay thy treasure in the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks;

jps@Job:22:30 @ He delivereth him that is innocent, yea, thou shalt be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.

jps@Job:23:2 @ Even to-day is my complaint bitter; my hand is become heavy because of my groaning.

jps@Job:23:12 @ I have not gone back from the commandment of His lips; I have treasured up the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.

jps@Job:23:15 @ Therefore am I affrighted at His presence; when I consider, I am afraid of Him.

jps@Job:23:17 @ Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither did He cover the thick darkness from my face.

jps@Job:24:3 @ They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.

jps@Job:24:4 @ They turn the needy out of the way; the poor of the earth hide themselves together.

jps@Job:24:6 @ They cut his provender in the field; and they despoil the vineyard of the wicked.

jps@Job:24:8 @ They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.

jps@Job:24:9 @ There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor;

jps@Job:24:11 @ They make oil within the rows of these men; they tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.

jps@Job:24:12 @ From out of the populous city men groan, and the soul of the wounded crieth out; yet God imputeth it not for unseemliness.

jps@Job:24:13 @ These are of them that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

jps@Job:24:15 @ The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying: 'No eye shall see me'; and he putteth a covering on his face.

jps@Job:24:17 @ For the shadow of death is to all of them as the morning; for they know the terrors of the shadow of death.

jps@Job:24:18 @ He is swift upon the face of the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth; he turneth not by the way of the vineyards.

jps@Job:24:24 @ They are exalted for a little while, and they are gone; yea, they are brought low, they are gathered in as all others, and wither as the tops of the ears of corn.

jps@Job:25:3 @ Is there any number of His armies? And upon whom doth not His light arise?

jps@Job:25:4 @ How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

jps@Job:25:6 @ How much less man, that is a worm! and the son of man, that is a maggot!

jps@Job:26:5 @ The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.

jps@Job:26:9 @ He closeth in the face of His throne, and spreadeth His cloud upon it.

jps@Job:26:10 @ He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.

jps@Job:26:11 @ The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at His rebuke.

jps@Job:26:14 @ Lo, these are but the outskirts of His ways; and how small a whisper is heard of Him! But the thunder of His mighty deeds who can understand?

jps@Job:27:3 @ All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,

jps@Job:27:8 @ For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, when God taketh away his soul?

jps@Job:27:11 @ I will teach you concerning the hand of God; that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

jps@Job:27:13 @ This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.

jps@Job:27:14 @ If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not have bread enough.

jps@Job:27:15 @ Those that remain of him shall be buried by pestilence, and his widows shall make no lamentation.

jps@Job:27:21 @ The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; and it sweepeth him out of his place.

jps@Job:27:23 @ Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.

jps@Job:28:2 @ Iron is taken out of the dust, and brass is molten out of the stone.

jps@Job:28:3 @ Man setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out to the furthest bound the stones of thick darkness and of the shadow of death.

jps@Job:28:4 @ He breaketh open a shaft away from where men sojourn; they are forgotten of the foot that passeth by; they hang afar from men, they swing to and fro.

jps@Job:28:5 @ As for the earth, out of it cometh bread, and underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.

jps@Job:28:6 @ The stones thereof are the place of sapphires, and it hath dust of gold.

jps@Job:28:7 @ That path no bird of prey knoweth, neither hath the falcon's eye seen it;

jps@Job:28:12 @ But wisdom, where shall it be found? And where is the place of understanding?

jps@Job:28:13 @ Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.

jps@Job:28:15 @ It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.

jps@Job:28:16 @ It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

jps@Job:28:17 @ Gold and glass cannot equal it; neither shall the exchange thereof be vessels of fine gold.

jps@Job:28:18 @ No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal; yea, the price of wisdom is above rubies.

jps@Job:28:19 @ The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.

jps@Job:28:20 @ Whence then cometh wisdom? And where is the place of understanding?

jps@Job:28:21 @ Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.

jps@Job:28:22 @ Destruction and Death say: 'We have heard a rumor thereof with our ears.'

jps@Job:28:23 @ God understandeth the way thereof, and He knoweth the place thereof.

jps@Job:28:24 @ For He looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;

jps@Job:28:26 @ When He made a decree for the rain, and a way for the storm of thunders;

jps@Job:28:28 @ And unto man He said: 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.'

jps@Job:29:2 @ Oh that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me;

jps@Job:29:4 @ As I was in the days of my youth, when the converse of God was upon my tent;

jps@Job:29:6 @ When my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil!

jps@Job:29:10 @ The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.

jps@Job:29:13 @ The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me; and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

jps@Job:29:16 @ I was a father to the needy; and the cause of him that I knew not I searched out.

jps@Job:29:17 @ And I broke the jaws of the unrighteous, and plucked the prey out of his teeth.

jps@Job:29:24 @ If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.

jps@Job:30:1 @ But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.

jps@Job:30:2 @ Yea, the strength of their hands, whereto should it profit me? men in whom ripe age is perished.

jps@Job:30:3 @ They are gaunt with want and famine; they gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of wasteness and desolation.

jps@Job:30:4 @ They pluck salt-wort with wormwood; and the roots of the broom are their food.

jps@Job:30:5 @ They are driven forth from the midst of men; they cry after them as after a thief.

jps@Job:30:6 @ In the clefts of the valleys must they dwell, in holes of the earth and of the rocks.

jps@Job:30:8 @ They are children of churls, yea, children of ignoble men; they were scourged out of the land.

jps@Job:30:11 @ For He hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, and they have cast off the bridle before me.

jps@Job:30:12 @ Upon my right hand rise the brood; they entangle my feet, and they cast up against me their ways of destruction.

jps@Job:30:14 @ As through a wide breach they come; in the midst of the ruin they roll themselves upon me.

jps@Job:30:16 @ And now my soul is poured out within me; days of affliction have taken hold upon me.

jps@Job:30:18 @ By the great force of my disease is my garment disfigured; it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.

jps@Job:30:21 @ Thou art turned to be cruel to me; with the might of Thy hand Thou hatest me.

jps@Job:30:24 @ Surely none shall put forth his hand to a ruinous heap, neither because of these things shall help come in one's calamity,

jps@Job:30:27 @ Mine inwards boil, and rest not; days of affliction are come upon me.

jps@Job:30:31 @ Therefore is my harp turned to mourning, and my pipe into the voice of them that weep.

jps@Job:31:2 @ For what would be the portion of God from above, and the heritage of the Almighty from on high?

jps@Job:31:3 @ Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, and disaster to the workers of iniquity?

jps@Job:31:7 @ If my step hath turned out of the way, and my heart walked after mine eyes, and if any spot hath cleaved to my hands;

jps@Job:31:8 @ Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out.

jps@Job:31:13 @ If I did despise the cause of my man-servant, or of my maid-servant, when they contended with me--

jps@Job:31:16 @ If I have withheld aught that the poor desired, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;

jps@Job:31:17 @ Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof--

jps@Job:31:19 @ If I have seen any wanderer in want of clothing, or that the needy had no covering;

jps@Job:31:20 @ If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

jps@Job:31:23 @ For calamity from God was a terror to me, and by reason of His majesty I could do nothing.

jps@Job:31:29 @ If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or exulted when evil found him--

jps@Job:31:31 @ If the men of my tent said not: 'Who can find one that hath not been satisfied with his meat?'

jps@Job:31:33 @ If after the manner of men I covered my transgressions, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom--

jps@Job:31:34 @ Because I feared the great multitude, and the most contemptible among families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and went not out of the door.

jps@Job:31:37 @ I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.

jps@Job:31:38 @ If my land cry out against me, and the furrows thereof weep together;

jps@Job:31:39 @ If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the tillers thereof to be disappointed--

jps@Job:31:40 @ Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and noisome weeds instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.

jps@Job:32:2 @ Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

jps@Job:32:5 @ And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.

jps@Job:32:6 @ And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said: I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I held back, and durst not declare you mine opinion.

jps@Job:32:7 @ I said: 'Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.'

jps@Job:32:8 @ But it is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty, that giveth them understanding.

jps@Job:32:18 @ For I am full of words; the spirit within me constraineth me.

jps@Job:33:3 @ My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart; and that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.

jps@Job:33:4 @ The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty given me life.

jps@Job:33:6 @ Behold, I am toward God even as thou art; I also am formed out of the clay.

jps@Job:33:8 @ Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words;

jps@Job:33:13 @ Why hast thou striven against Him? seeing that He will not answer any of his words.

jps@Job:33:15 @ In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

jps@Job:33:16 @ Then He openeth the ears of men, and by their chastisement sealeth the decree,

jps@Job:33:25 @ His flesh is tenderer than a child's; he returneth to the days of his youth;

jps@Job:33:27 @ He cometh before men, and saith: 'I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not.'

jps@Job:33:30 @ To bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.

jps@Job:34:8 @ Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.

jps@Job:34:9 @ For he hath said: 'It profiteth a man nothing that he should be in accord with God.'

jps@Job:34:10 @ Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be it from God, that He should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that He should commit iniquity.

jps@Job:34:11 @ For the work of a man will He requite unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.

jps@Job:34:12 @ Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert justice.

jps@Job:34:16 @ If now thou hast understanding, hear this; hearken to the voice of my words.

jps@Job:34:19 @ That respecteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? For they all are the work of His hands.

jps@Job:34:21 @ For His eyes are upon the ways of a man, and He seeth all his goings.

jps@Job:34:22 @ There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

jps@Job:34:25 @ Therefore He taketh knowledge of their works; and He overturneth them in the night, so that they are crushed.

jps@Job:34:26 @ He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;

jps@Job:34:27 @ Because they turned aside from following Him, and would not have regard to any of His ways;

jps@Job:34:28 @ So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto Him, and He heareth the cry of the afflicted.

jps@Job:34:31 @ For hath any said unto God: 'I have borne chastisement, though I offend not;

jps@Job:35:7 @ If thou be righteous, what givest thou Him? Or what receiveth He of thy hand?

jps@Job:35:8 @ Thy wickedness concerneth a man as thou art; and thy righteousness a son of man.

jps@Job:35:9 @ By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; they cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.

jps@Job:35:12 @ There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.

jps@Job:35:15 @ And now, is it for nought that He punished in His anger? And hath He not full knowledge of arrogance?

jps@Job:36:5 @ Behold, God is mighty, yet He despiseth not any; He is mighty in strength of understanding.

jps@Job:36:6 @ He preserveth not the life of the wicked; but giveth to the poor their right.

jps@Job:36:8 @ And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;

jps@Job:36:14 @ Their soul perisheth in youth, and their life as that of the depraved.

jps@Job:36:16 @ Yea, He hath allured thee out of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which is set on thy table is full of fatness;

jps@Job:36:17 @ And thou art full of the judgment of the wicked; judgment and justice take hold on them.

jps@Job:36:18 @ For beware of wrath, lest thou be led away by thy sufficiency; neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.

jps@Job:36:24 @ Remember that thou magnify His work, whereof men have sung.

jps@Job:36:25 @ All men have looked thereon; man beholdeth it afar off.

jps@Job:36:26 @ Behold, God is great, beyond our knowledge; the number of His years is unsearchable.

jps@Job:36:27 @ For He draweth away the drops of water, which distil rain from His vapour;

jps@Job:36:28 @ Which the skies pour down and drop upon the multitudes of men.

jps@Job:36:29 @ Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, the crashings of His pavilion?

jps@Job:36:30 @ Behold, He spreadeth His light upon it; and He covereth the depths of the sea.

jps@Job:36:33 @ The noise thereof telleth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the storm that cometh up.

jps@Job:37:1 @ At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.

jps@Job:37:2 @ Hear attentively the noise of His voice, and the sound that goeth out of His mouth.

jps@Job:37:3 @ He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and His lightning unto the ends of the earth.

jps@Job:37:4 @ After it a voice roareth; He thundereth with the voice of His majesty; and He stayeth them not when His voice is heard.

jps@Job:37:6 @ For He saith to the snow: 'Fall thou on the earth'; likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of His mighty rain.

jps@Job:37:7 @ He sealeth up the hand of every man, that all men whom He hath made may know it.

jps@Job:37:9 @ Out of the Chamber cometh the storm; and cold out of the north.

jps@Job:37:10 @ By the breath of God ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

jps@Job:37:11 @ Yea, He ladeth the thick cloud with moister, He spreadeth abroad the cloud of His lightning;

jps@Job:37:12 @ And they are turned round about by His guidance, that they may do whatsoever He commandeth them upon the face of the habitable world:

jps@Job:37:14 @ Hearken unto this, O Job; stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

jps@Job:37:15 @ Dost thou know how God enjoineth them, and causeth the lightning of His cloud to shine?

jps@Job:41:23 @ The flakes of his flesh are joined together; they are firm upon him; they cannot be moved.

jps@Job:41:25 @ When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid; by reason of despair they are beside themselves.

jps@Job:41:29 @ Clubs are accounted as stubble; he laugheth at the rattling of the javelin.

jps@Job:42:4 @ Hear, I beseech Thee, and I will speak; I will demand of Thee, and declare Thou unto me.

jps@Job:42:5 @ I had heard of Thee by the hearing of the ear; but now mine eye seeth Thee;

jps@Job:42:7 @ And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite: 'My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as My servant Job hath.

jps@Job:42:8 @ Now therefore, take unto you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt- offering; and My servant Job shall pray for you; for him will I accept, that I do not unto you aught unseemly; for ye have not spoken of Me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.'

jps@Job:42:10 @ And the LORD changed the fortune of Job, when he prayed for his friends; and the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

jps@Job:42:11 @ Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house; and they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him; every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold.

jps@Job:42:12 @ So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

jps@Job:42:14 @ And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.

jps@Job:42:15 @ And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

jps@Isaiah:19:4 @ And I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.

jps@Isaiah:19:11 @ The princes of Zoan are utter fools; the wisest counsellors of Pharaoh are a senseless counsel; how can ye say unto Pharaoh: 'I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings'?

jps@Isaiah:19:12 @ Where are they, then, thy wise men? And let them tell thee now; and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed concerning Egypt.

jps@Isaiah:19:13 @ The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have caused Egypt to go astray, that are the corner-stone of her tribes.

jps@Isaiah:19:14 @ The LORD hath mingled within her a spirit of dizziness; and they have caused Egypt to stagger in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.

jps@Isaiah:19:16 @ In that day shall Egypt be like unto women; and it shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which He shaketh over it.

jps@Isaiah:19:17 @ And the land of Judah shall become a terror unto Egypt, whensoever one maketh mention thereof to it; it shall be afraid, because of the purpose of the LORD of hosts, which He purposeth against it.

jps@Isaiah:19:19 @ In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.

jps@Isaiah:19:20 @ And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and He will send them a saviour, and a defender, who will deliver them.

jps@Isaiah:19:21 @ And the LORD shall make Himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day; yea, they shall worship with sacrifice and offering, and shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and shall perform it.

jps@Isaiah:19:23 @ In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians.

jps@Isaiah:19:24 @ In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;

jps@Isaiah:19:25 @ for that the LORD of hosts hath blessed him, saying: 'Blessed be Egypt My people and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel Mine inheritance.'

jps@Isaiah:20:1 @ In the year that Tartan came into Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him, and he fought against Ashdod and took it;

jps@Isaiah:20:2 @ at that time the LORD spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying: 'Go, and loose the sackcloth from off thy loins, and put thy shoe from off thy foot.' And he did so, walking naked and barefoot.

jps@Isaiah:20:4 @ so shall the king of Assyria lead away the captives of Egypt, and the exiles of Ethiopia, young and old, naked and barefoot, and with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

jps@Isaiah:20:5 @ And they shall be dismayed and ashamed, because of Ethiopia their expectation, and of Egypt their glory.

jps@Isaiah:21:2 @ A grievous vision is declared unto me: 'The treacherous dealer dealeth treacherously, and the spoiler spoileth. Go up, O Elam! besiege, O Media! All the sighing thereof have I made to cease.'

jps@Isaiah:21:3 @ Therefore are my loins filled with convulsion; pangs have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman in travail; I am bent so that I cannot hear; I am affrighted so that I cannot see.

jps@Isaiah:21:7 @ And when he seeth a troop, horsemen by pairs, a troop of asses, a troop of camels, he shall hearken diligently with much heed.

jps@Isaiah:21:9 @ And, behold, there came a troop of men, horsemen by pairs. And he spoke and said: 'Fallen, fallen is Babylon; and all the graven images of her gods are broken unto the ground.'

jps@Isaiah:21:14 @ Unto him that is thirsty bring ye water! The inhabitants of the land of Tema did meet the fugitive with his bread.

jps@Isaiah:21:15 @ For they fled away from the swords, from the drawn sword, and from the bent bow, and from the grievousness of war.

jps@Isaiah:21:16 @ For thus hath the Lord said unto me: 'Within a year, according to the years of a hireling, and all the glory of Kedar shall fail;

jps@Isaiah:21:17 @ and the residue of the number of the archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished; for the LORD, the God of Israel, hath spoken it.'

jps@Isaiah:22:1 @ The burden concerning the Valley of Vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops,

jps@Isaiah:22:2 @ Thou that art full of uproar, a tumultuous city, a joyous town? Thy slain are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.

jps@Isaiah:22:3 @ All thy rulers are fled together, without the bow they are bound; all that are found of thee are bound together, they are fled afar off.

jps@Isaiah:22:4 @ Therefore said I: 'Look away from me, I will weep bitterly; strain not to comfort me, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.'

jps@Isaiah:22:5 @ For it is a day of trouble, and of trampling, and of perplexity, from the Lord, the GOD of hosts, in the Valley of Vision; Kir shouting, and Shoa at the mount.

jps@Isaiah:22:6 @ And Elam bore the quiver, with troops of men, even horsemen; and Kir uncovered the shield.

jps@Isaiah:22:7 @ And it came to pass, when thy choicest valleys were full of chariots, and the horsemen set themselves in array at the gate,

jps@Isaiah:22:12 @ And in that day did the Lord, the GOD of hosts, call to weeping, and to lamentation, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth;

jps@Isaiah:22:14 @ And the LORD of hosts revealed Himself in mine ears: Surely this iniquity shall not be expiated by you till ye die, saith the Lord, the GOD of hosts.

jps@Isaiah:22:24 @ And they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all vessels of small quantity, from the vessels of cups even to all the vessels of flagons.

jps@Isaiah:23:1 @ The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in; from the land of Kittim it is revealed to them.

jps@Isaiah:23:2 @ Be still, ye inhabitants of the coast-land; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished.

jps@Isaiah:23:3 @ And on great waters the seed of Shihor, the harvest of the Nile, was her revenue; and she was the mart of nations.

jps@Isaiah:23:4 @ Be thou ashamed, O Zidon; for the sea hath spoken, the stronghold of the sea, saying: 'I have not travailed, nor brought forth, neither have I reared young men, nor brought up virgins.'

jps@Isaiah:23:5 @ When the report cometh to Egypt, they shall be sorely pained at the report of Tyre.

jps@Isaiah:23:6 @ Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the coast-land.

jps@Isaiah:23:7 @ Is this your joyous city, whose feet in antiquity, in ancient days, carried her afar off to sojourn?

jps@Isaiah:23:13 @ Behold, the land of the Chaldeans--this is the people that was not, when Asshur founded it for shipmen--they set up their towers, they overthrew the palaces thereof; it is made a ruin.

jps@Isaiah:23:14 @ Howl, ye ships of Tarshish, for your stronghold is laid waste.

jps@Isaiah:23:15 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king; after the end of seventy years it shall fare with Tyre as in the song of the harlot:

jps@Isaiah:23:17 @ And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the LORD will remember Tyre, and she shall return to her hire, and shall have commerce with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth.

jps@Isaiah:24:18 @ And it shall come to pass, that he who fleeth from the noise of the terror shall fall into the pit; and he that cometh up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the trap; for the windows on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth do shake;

jps@Isaiah:24:20 @ The earth reeleth to and fro like a drunken man, and swayeth to and fro as a lodge; and the transgression thereof is heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again.

jps@Isaiah:25:1 @ O LORD, Thou art my God, I will exalt Thee, I will praise Thy name, for Thou hast done wonderful things; even counsels of old, in faithfulness and truth.

jps@Isaiah:25:2 @ For Thou hast made of a city a heap, of a fortified city a ruin; a castle of strangers to be no city, it shall never be built.

jps@Isaiah:25:3 @ Therefore shall the strong people glorify Thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear Thee.

jps@Isaiah:25:4 @ For Thou hast been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat; for the blast of the terrible ones was as a storm against the wall.

jps@Isaiah:25:5 @ As the heat in a dry place, Thou didst subdue the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shadow of a cloud, the song of the terrible ones was brought low.

jps@Isaiah:25:6 @ And in this mountain will the LORD of hosts make unto all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.

jps@Isaiah:25:12 @ And the high fortress of thy walls will He bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.

jps@Isaiah:26:1 @ In that day shall this song be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; walls and bulwarks doth He appoint for salvation.

jps@Isaiah:26:5 @ For He hath brought down them that dwell on high, the lofty city, laying it low, laying it low even to the ground, bringing it even to the dust.

jps@Isaiah:26:6 @ The foot shall tread it down, even the feet of the poor, and the steps of the needy.

jps@Isaiah:26:7 @ The way of the just is straight; Thou, Most Upright, makest plain the path of the just.

jps@Isaiah:26:9 @ With my soul have I desired Thee in the night; yea, with my spirit within me have I sought Thee earnestly; for when Thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

jps@Isaiah:26:10 @ Let favour be shown to the wicked, yet will he not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness will he deal wrongfully, and will not behold the majesty of the LORD.

jps@Isaiah:26:13 @ O LORD our God, other lords beside Thee have had dominion over us; but by Thee only do we make mention of Thy name.

jps@Isaiah:26:15 @ Thou hast gotten Thee honour with the nations, O LORD, yea, exceeding great honour with the nations; Thou art honoured unto the farthest ends of the earth.

jps@Isaiah:26:17 @ Like as a woman with child, that draweth near the time of her delivery, is in pain and crieth out in her pangs; so have we been at Thy presence, O LORD.

jps@Isaiah:27:8 @ In full measure, when Thou sendest her away, Thou dost contend with her; He hath removed her with His rough blast in the day of the east wind.

jps@Isaiah:27:9 @ Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be expiated, and this is all the fruit of taking away his sin: when he maketh all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in pieces, so that the Asherim and the sun-images shall rise no more.

jps@Isaiah:27:10 @ For the fortified city is solitary, a habitation abandoned and forsaken, like the wilderness; there shall the calf feed, and there shall he lie down, and consume the branches thereof.

jps@Isaiah:27:11 @ When the boughs thereof are withered, they shall be broken off; the women shall come, and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding; therefore He that made them will not have compassion upon them, and He that formed them will not be gracious unto them.

jps@Isaiah:27:12 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD will beat off His fruit from the flood of the River unto the Brook of Egypt, and ye shall be gathered one by one, O ye children of Israel.

jps@Isaiah:28:3 @ The crown of pride of the drunkards of Ephraim shall be trodden under foot;

jps@Isaiah:28:4 @ And the fading flower of his glorious beauty, which is on the head of the fat valley, shall be as the first-ripe fig before the summer, which when one looketh upon it, while it is yet in his hand he eateth it up.

jps@Isaiah:28:6 @ And for a spirit of judgment to him that sitteth in judgment, and for strength to them that turn back the battle at the gate.

jps@Isaiah:28:7 @ But these also reel through wine, and stagger through strong drink; the priest and the prophet reel through strong drink, they are confused because of wine, they stagger because of strong drink; they reel in vision, they totter in judgment.

jps@Isaiah:28:8 @ For all tables are full of filthy vomit, and no place is clean.

jps@Isaiah:28:13 @ And so the word of the LORD is unto them precept by precept, precept by precept, line by line, line by line; here a little, there a little; that they may go, and fall backward, and be broken, and snared, and taken.

jps@Isaiah:28:14 @ Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scoffers, the ballad-mongers of this people which is in Jerusalem:

jps@Isaiah:28:17 @ And I will make justice the line, and righteousness the plummet; and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding-place.

jps@Isaiah:28:19 @ As often as it passeth through, it shall take you; for morning by morning shall it pass through, by day and by night; and it shall be sheer terror to understand the message.

jps@Isaiah:28:21 @ For the LORD will rise up as in mount Perazim, He will be wroth as in the valley of Gibeon; that He may do His work, strange is His work, and bring to pass His act, strange is His act.

jps@Isaiah:28:22 @ Now therefore be ye not scoffers, lest your bands be made strong; for an extermination wholly determined have I heard from the Lord, the GOD of hosts, upon the whole land.

jps@Isaiah:28:24 @ Is the plowman never done with plowing to sow, with the opening and harrowing of his ground?

jps@Isaiah:28:25 @ When he hath made plain the face thereof, doth he not cast abroad the black cummin, and scatter the cummin, and put in the wheat in rows and the barley in the appointed place and the spelt in the border thereof?

jps@Isaiah:28:28 @ Is bread corn crushed? Nay, he will not ever be threshing it; and though the roller of his wagon and its sharp edges move noisily, he doth not crush it.

jps@Isaiah:28:29 @ This also cometh forth from the LORD of hosts: Wonderful is His counsel, and great His wisdom.

jps@Isaiah:29:19 @ The humble also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the neediest among men shall exult in the Holy One of Israel.

jps@Jeremiah:4:30 @ And thou, that art spoiled, what doest thou, that thou clothest thyself with scarlet, that thou deckest thee with ornaments of gold, that thou enlargest thine eyes with paint? In vain dost thou make thyself fair; thy lovers despise thee, they seek thy life.

jps@Jeremiah:7:29 @ Cut off thy hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on the high hills; for the LORD hath rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.

jps@Jeremiah:7:30 @ For the children of Judah have done that which is evil in My sight, saith the LORD; they have set their detestable things in the house whereon My name is called, to defile it.

jps@Jeremiah:7:31 @ And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded not, neither came it into My mind.

jps@Jeremiah:7:32 @ Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of slaughter; for they shall bury in Topheth, for lack of room.

jps@Jeremiah:7:33 @ And the carcasses of this people shall be food for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall frighten them away.

jps@Jeremiah:7:34 @ Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land shall be desolate.

jps@Jeremiah:8:1 @ At that time, saith the LORD, they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his princes, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;

jps@Jeremiah:9:7 @ Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts: Behold, I will smelt them, and try them; for how else should I do, because of the daughter of My people?

jps@Jeremiah:9:10 @ For the mountains will I take up a weeping and wailing, and for the pastures of the wilderness a lamentation, because they are burned up, so that none passeth through. And they hear not the voice of the cattle; both the fowl of the heavens and the beast are fled, and gone.

jps@Jeremiah:9:11 @ And I will make Jerusalem heaps, a lair of jackals; and I will make the cities of Judah a desolation, without an inhabitant.

jps@Jeremiah:9:12 @ Who is the wise man, that he may understand this? And who is he to whom the mouth of the LORD hath spoken, that he may declare it? Wherefore is the land perished and laid waste like a wilderness, so that none passeth through?

jps@Jeremiah:52:8 @ But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

jps@Ezekiel:41:7 @ And the side-chambers were broader as they wound about higher and higher; for the winding about of the house went higher and higher round about the house; therefore the breadth of the house continued upward; and so one went up from the lowest row to the highest by the middle.

jps@Ezekiel:41:8 @ I saw also that the house had a raised basement round about; the foundations of the side-chambers were a full reed of six cubits to the joining.

jps@Ezekiel:42:7 @ And the wall that was without by the side of the chambers, toward the outer court in front of the chambers, the length thereof was fifty cubits.

jps@Ezekiel:42:8 @ For the length of the chambers that were toward the outer court was fifty cubits; and, lo, before the temple were a hundred cubits.

jps@Ezekiel:43:18 @ And He said unto me: 'Son of man, thus saith the Lord GOD: These are the ordinances of the altar in the day when they shall make it, to offer burnt-offerings thereon, and to dash blood against it.

jps@Ezekiel:43:19 @ Thou shalt give to the priests the Levites that are of the seed of Zadok, who are near unto Me, to minister unto Me, saith the Lord GOD, a young bullock for a sin-offering.

jps@Ezekiel:43:20 @ And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on the four horns of it, and on the four corners of the settle, and upon the border round about; thus shalt thou purify it and make atonement for it.

jps@Ezekiel:43:21 @ Thou shalt also take the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall be burnt in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.

jps@Daniel:2:44 @ And in the days of those kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed; nor shall the kingdom be left to another people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, but it shall stand for ever.

jps@Daniel:2:45 @ Forasmuch as thou sawest that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver, and the gold; the great God hath made known to the king what shall come to pass hereafter; and the dream is certain, and the interpretation thereof sure.'

jps@Daniel:2:46 @ Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they should offer an offering and sweet odours unto him.

jps@Daniel:2:47 @ The king spoke unto Daniel, and said: 'Of a truth it is, that your God is the God of gods, and the Lord of kings, and a revealer of secrets, seeing thou hast been able to reveal this secret.'

jps@Daniel:2:48 @ Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him many great gifts, and made him to rule over the whole province of Babylon, and to be chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon.

jps@Daniel:2:49 @ And Daniel requested of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon; but Daniel was in the gate of the king.

jps@Daniel:3:1 @ Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof six cubits; he set it up in the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon.

jps@Daniel:3:2 @ Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

jps@Daniel:3:3 @ Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs, and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered together unto the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up; and they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up.

jps@Daniel:3:5 @ that at what time ye hear the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath set up;

jps@Daniel:3:6 @ and whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall the same hour be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.'

jps@Daniel:3:7 @ Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, and all kinds of music, all the peoples, the nations, and the languages, fell down and worshipped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

jps@Daniel:3:10 @ Thou, O king, hast made a decree, that every man that shall hear the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, shall fall down and worship the golden image;

jps@Daniel:3:11 @ and whoso falleth not down and worshippeth shall be cast into the midst of a burning fiery furnace.

jps@Daniel:3:12 @ There are certain Jews whom thou hast appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed- nego; these men, O king, have not regarded thee: they serve not thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.'

jps@Daniel:3:15 @ Now if ye be ready that at what time ye hear the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made,well; but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is the god that shall deliver you out of my hands?'

jps@Daniel:3:17 @ If our God whom we serve is able to deliver us, He will deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and out of thy hand, O king.

jps@Daniel:3:19 @ Then was Nebuchadnezzar filled with fury, and the form of his visage was changed, against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed- nego; he spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was wont to be heated.

jps@Daniel:3:21 @ Then these men were bound in their cloaks, their tunics, and their robes, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

jps@Daniel:3:22 @ Therefore because the king's commandment was peremptory, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego.

jps@Daniel:3:23 @ And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.

jps@Daniel:3:24 @ Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was alarmed, and rose up in haste; he spoke and said unto his ministers: 'Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?' They answered and said unto the king: 'True, O king.'

jps@Daniel:3:25 @ He answered and said: 'Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.'

jps@Daniel:3:26 @ Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace; he spoke and said: 'Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed- nego, ye servants of God Most High, come forth, and come hither.' Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, came forth out of the midst of the fire.

jps@Daniel:3:27 @ And the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, and the king's ministers, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had no power upon their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed, neither were their cloaks changed, nor had the smell of fire passed on them.

jps@Daniel:3:28 @ Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said: 'Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who hath sent His angel, and delivered His servants that trusted in Him, and have changed the king's word, and have yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

jps@Daniel:3:29 @ Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill; because there is no other god that is able to deliver after this sort.'

jps@Daniel:3:30 @ Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, in the province of Babylon.

jps@Daniel:4:5 @ I saw a dream which made me afraid; and imaginings upon my bed and the visions of my head affrighted me.

jps@Daniel:4:6 @ Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the wise men of Babylon before me, that they might make known unto me the interpretation of the dream.

jps@Daniel:4:7 @ Then came in the magicians, the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers; and I told the dream before them; but they did not make known unto me the interpretation thereof.

jps@Daniel:4:8 @ But at the last Daniel came in before me, whose name was Belteshazzar, according to the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and I told the dream before him:

jps@Daniel:4:9 @ O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in thee, and no secret causeth thee trouble, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and the interpretation thereof.

jps@Daniel:4:10 @ Thus were the visions of my head upon my bed: I saw, and behold a tree in the midst of the earth, and the height thereof was great.

jps@Daniel:4:11 @ The tree grew, and was strong, and the height thereof reached unto heaven, and the sight thereof to the end of all the earth.

jps@Daniel:4:12 @ The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was food for all; the beasts of the field had shadow under it, and the fowls of the heaven dwelt in the branches thereof, and all flesh was fed of it.

jps@Daniel:4:13 @ I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and, behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven.

jps@Daniel:4:14 @ He cried aloud, and said thus: Hew down the tree, and cut off its branches, shake off its leaves, and scatter its fruit; let the beasts get away from under it, and the fowls from its branches.

jps@Daniel:4:15 @ Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even in a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth;

jps@Daniel:4:17 @ The matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the sentence by the word of the holy ones; to the intent that the living may know that the Most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever He will, and setteth up over it the lowest of men.

jps@Daniel:4:18 @ This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have seen; and thou, O Belteshazzar, declare the interpretation, forasmuch as all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known unto me the interpretation; but thou art able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in thee.'

jps@Daniel:4:19 @ Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was appalled for a while, and his thoughts affrighted him.

jps@Daniel:4:29 @ At the end of twelve months he was walking upon the royal palace of Babylon.

jps@Daniel:4:30 @ The king spoke, and said: 'Is not this great Babylon, which I have built for a royal dwelling-place, by the might of my power and for the glory of my majesty?'

jps@Daniel:4:33 @ The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar; and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair was grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.

jps@Daniel:5:1 @ Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.

jps@Daniel:5:2 @ Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king and his lords, his consorts and his concubines, might drink therein.

jps@Daniel:6:13 @ Then answered they and said before the king: 'That Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the interdict that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day.'

jps@Daniel:6:14 @ Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him; and he laboured till the going down of the sun to deliver him.

jps@Daniel:6:15 @ Then these men came tumultuously unto the king, and said unto the king: 'Know, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians, that no interdict nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.'

jps@Daniel:7:2 @ Daniel spoke and said: I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven broke forth upon the great sea.

jps@Daniel:7:4 @ The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings; I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon two feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

jps@Daniel:7:6 @ After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the sides of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.

jps@Daniel:7:8 @ I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.

jps@Daniel:7:9 @ I beheld till thrones were placed, and one that was ancient of days did sit: his raiment was as white snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, and the wheels thereof burning fire.

jps@Daniel:7:11 @ I beheld at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke, I beheld even till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.

jps@Daniel:7:12 @ And as for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.

jps@Daniel:7:13 @ I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of days, and he was brought near before Him.

jps@Daniel:7:15 @ As for me Daniel, my spirit was pained in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head affrighted me.

jps@Daniel:7:16 @ I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things:

jps@Daniel:7:17 @ 'These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, that shall arise out of the earth.

jps@Daniel:7:18 @ But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.'

jps@Daniel:7:19 @ Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was diverse from all of them, exceeding terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;

jps@Daniel:7:20 @ and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell; even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke great things, whose appearance was greater than that of its fellows.

jps@Daniel:7:22 @ until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High; and the time came, and the saints possessed the kingdom.

jps@Daniel:7:24 @ And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise; and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings.

jps@Daniel:7:25 @ And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the seasons and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.

jps@Daniel:7:27 @ And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; their kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey them.'

jps@Daniel:7:28 @ Here is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts much affrighted me, and my countenance was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.

jps@Daniel:8:1 @ In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the first.

jps@Daniel:8:2 @ And I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the castle, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the stream Ulai.

jps@Daniel:8:4 @ I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.

jps@Daniel:8:5 @ And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground; and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.

jps@Daniel:8:6 @ And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the stream, and ran at him in the fury of his power.

jps@Daniel:8:7 @ And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with choler against him, and smote the ram, and broke his two horns; and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.

jps@Daniel:8:8 @ And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly; and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up the appearance of four horns toward the four winds of heaven.

jps@Daniel:8:9 @ And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the beauteous land.

jps@Daniel:8:10 @ And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them.

jps@Daniel:8:11 @ Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and from him the continual burnt-offering was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

jps@Daniel:8:12 @ And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt-offering through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it wrought, and prospered.

jps@Daniel:8:13 @ Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said unto that certain one who spoke: 'How long shall be the vision concerning the continual burnt-offering, and the transgression that causes appalment, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled under foot?'

jps@Daniel:8:15 @ And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.

jps@Daniel:8:16 @ And I heard the voice of a man between the banks of Ulai, who called, and said: 'Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.'

jps@Daniel:8:17 @ So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was terrified, and fell upon my face; but he said unto me: 'Understand, O son of man; for the vision belongeth to the time of the end.'

jps@Daniel:8:19 @ And he said: 'Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongeth to the appointed time of the end.

jps@Daniel:8:20 @ The ram which thou sawest having the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.

jps@Daniel:8:21 @ And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

jps@Daniel:8:22 @ And as for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.

jps@Daniel:8:23 @ And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have completed their transgression, there shall stand up a king of fierce countenance, and understanding stratagems.

jps@Daniel:8:24 @ And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do; and he shall destroy them that are mighty and the people of the saints.

jps@Daniel:8:25 @ And through his cunning he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in time of security shall he destroy many; he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

jps@Daniel:8:26 @ And the vision of the evenings and mornings which hath been told is true; but thou, shut thou up the vision; for it belongeth to many days to come.'

jps@Daniel:9:2 @ in the first year of his reign I Daniel meditated in the books, over the number of the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish for the desolations of Jerusalem seventy years.

jps@Daniel:9:6 @ neither have we hearkened unto Thy servants the prophets, that spoke in Thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.

jps@Daniel:9:7 @ Unto Thee, O Lord, belongeth righteousness, but unto us confusion of face, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither Thou hast driven them, because they dealt treacherously with Thee.

jps@Daniel:9:8 @ O LORD, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against Thee.

jps@Daniel:9:10 @ neither have we hearkened to the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in His laws, which He set before us by His servants the prophets.

jps@Daniel:9:11 @ Yea, all Israel have transgressed Thy law, and have turned aside, so as not to hearken to Thy voice; and so there hath been poured out upon us the curse and the oath that is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God; for we have sinned against Him.

jps@Daniel:9:13 @ As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us; yet have we not entreated the favour of the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and have discernment in Thy truth.

jps@Daniel:9:15 @ And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought Thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten Thee renown, as at this day; we have sinned, we have done wickedly.

jps@Daniel:9:16 @ O Lord, according to all Thy righteousness, let Thine anger and Thy fury, I pray Thee, be turned away from Thy city Jerusalem, Thy holy mountain; because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us.

jps@Daniel:9:17 @ Now therefore, O our God, hearken unto the prayer of Thy servant, and to his supplications, and cause Thy face to shine upon Thy sanctuary that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.

jps@Daniel:9:18 @ O my God, incline Thine ear, and hear; open Thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city upon which Thy name is called; for we do not present our supplications before Thee because of our righteousness, but because of Thy great compassions.

jps@Daniel:9:20 @ And while I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God;

jps@Daniel:9:21 @ yea, while I was speaking in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, approached close to me about the time of the evening offering.

jps@Daniel:9:22 @ And he made me to understand, and talked with me, and said: 'O Daniel, I am now come forth to make thee skilful of understanding.

jps@Daniel:9:23 @ At the beginning of thy supplications a word went forth, and I am come to declare it; for thou art greatly beloved; therefore look into the word, and understand the vision.

jps@Daniel:9:24 @ Seventy weeks are decreed upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sin, and to forgive iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal vision and prophet, and to anoint the most holy place.

jps@Daniel:9:25 @ Know therefore and discern, that from the going forth of the word to restore and to build Jerusalem unto one anointed, a prince, shall be seven weeks; and for threescore and two weeks, it shall be built again, with broad place and moat, but in troublous times.

jps@Daniel:9:26 @ And after the threescore and two weeks shall an anointed one be cut off, and be no more; and the people of a prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; but his end shall be with a flood; and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

jps@Daniel:9:27 @ And he shall make a firm covenant with many for one week; and for half of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease; and upon the wing of detestable things shall be that which causeth appalment; and that until the extermination wholly determined be poured out upon that which causeth appalment.'

jps@Daniel:10:1 @ In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a word was revealed unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the word was true, even a great warfare; and he gave heed to the word, and had understanding of the vision.

jps@Daniel:10:4 @ And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Tigris,

jps@Daniel:10:5 @ I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz;

jps@Daniel:10:6 @ his body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as torches of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to burnished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

jps@Daniel:10:9 @ Yet heard I the voice of his words; and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I fallen into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.

jps@Daniel:10:10 @ And, behold, a hand touched me, which set me tottering upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.

jps@Daniel:10:12 @ Then said he unto me: 'Fear not, Daniel; for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to understand, and to humble thyself before thy God, thy words were heard; and I am come because of thy words.

jps@Daniel:10:13 @ But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I was left over there beside the kings of Persia.

jps@Daniel:10:14 @ Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy people in the end of days; for there is yet a vision for the days.'

jps@Daniel:10:16 @ And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth, and spoke and said unto him that stood before me: 'O my lord, by reason of the vision my pains are come upon me, and I retain no strength.

jps@Daniel:10:17 @ For how can this servant of my lord talk with this my lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in me, neither was there breath left in me.'

jps@Daniel:10:18 @ Then there touched me again one like the appearance of a man, and he strengthened me.

jps@Daniel:10:20 @ Then said he: Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now will I return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I go forth, lo, the prince of Greece shall come.

jps@Daniel:10:21 @ Howbeit I will declare unto thee that which is inscribed in the writing of truth; and there is none that holdeth with me against these, except Michael your prince.

jps@Daniel:11:1 @ And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to be a supporter and a stronghold unto him.

jps@Daniel:11:2 @ And now will I declare unto thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all; and when he is waxed strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of Greece.

jps@Daniel:11:4 @ And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; but not to his posterity, nor according to his dominion wherewith he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those.

jps@Daniel:11:5 @ And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion; his dominion shall be a great dominion.

jps@Daniel:11:6 @ And at the end of years they shall join themselves together; and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement; but she shall not retain the strength of her arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm; but she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begot her, and he that obtained her in those times.

jps@Daniel:11:7 @ But one of the shoots of her roots shall stand up in his place, and shall come unto the army, and shall enter into the stronghold of the king of the north, and shall deal with them, and shall prevail;

jps@Daniel:11:8 @ and also their gods, with their molten images, and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold, shall he bring into captivity into Egypt; and he shall desist some years from the king of the north.

jps@Daniel:11:9 @ And he shall come into the kingdom of the king of the south, but he shall return into his own land.

jps@Daniel:11:10 @ And his sons shall stir themselves up, and shall assemble a multitude of great forces, and he shall come on, and overflow, as he passes through; and he shall return and stir himself up, even to his stronghold.

jps@Daniel:11:11 @ And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the north; and he shall set forth a great multitude, but the multitude shall be given into his hand.

jps@Daniel:11:12 @ and the multitude shall be carried away, and his heart shall be lifted up; and he shall cast down tens of thousands; but he shall not prevail.

jps@Daniel:11:13 @ And the king of the north shall again set forth a multitude, greater than the former; and he shall come on at the end of the times, even of years, with a great army and with much substance.

jps@Daniel:11:14 @ And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south; also the children of the violent among thy people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall stumble.

jps@Daniel:11:15 @ And the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mound, and take a well-fortified city; and the arms of the south shall not withstand; and as for his chosen people, there shall be no strength in them to withstand.

jps@Daniel:11:17 @ And he shall set his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, but shall make an agreement with him; and he shall give him the daughter of women, to destroy it; but it shall not stand, neither be for him.

jps@Daniel:11:18 @ After this shall he set his face unto the isles, and shall take many; but a captain shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yea, he shall cause his own reproach to return upon him.

jps@Daniel:11:19 @ Then he shall turn his face toward the strongholds of his own land; but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.

jps@Daniel:11:20 @ Then shall stand up in his place one that shall cause an exactor to pass through the glory of the kingdom; but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.

jps@Daniel:11:21 @ And in his place shall stand up a contemptible person, upon whom had not been conferred the majesty of the kingdom; but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by blandishments.

jps@Daniel:11:22 @ And the arms of the flood shall be swept away from before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the covenant.

jps@Daniel:11:24 @ In time of security shall he come even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers: he shall scatter among them prey, and spoil, and substance; yea, he shall devise his devices against fortresses, but only until the time.

jps@Daniel:11:25 @ And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south shall stir himself up to battle with a very great and mighty army; but he shall not stand, for they shall devise devices against him.

jps@Daniel:11:26 @ Yea, they that eat of his food shall destroy him, and his army shall be swept away; and many shall fall down slain.

jps@Daniel:11:30 @ For ships of Kittim shall come against him, and he shall be cowed, and he shall return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and shall do his pleasure; and he shall return, and have regard unto them that forsake the holy covenant.

jps@Daniel:11:31 @ And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the stronghold, and shall take away the continual burnt-offering, and they shall set up the detestable thing that causeth appalment.

jps@Daniel:11:35 @ And some of them that are wise shall stumble, to refine among them, and to purify, and to make white, even to the time of the end; for it is yet for the time appointed.

jps@Daniel:11:36 @ And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak strange things against the God of gods; and he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done.

jps@Daniel:11:37 @ Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers; and neither the desire of women, nor any god, shall he regard; for he shall magnify himself above all.

jps@Daniel:11:38 @ But in his place shall he honour the god of strongholds; and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and costly things.

jps@Daniel:11:39 @ And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god; whom he shall acknowledge, shall increase glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price.

jps@Daniel:11:40 @ And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him; and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow, as he passes through.

jps@Daniel:11:41 @ He shall enter also into the beauteous land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

jps@Daniel:11:42 @ He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries; and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

jps@Daniel:11:43 @ But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt; and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

jps@Daniel:11:44 @ But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall affright him; and he shall go forth with great fury to destroy and utterly to take away many.

jps@Daniel:11:45 @ And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and the beauteous holy mountain; and he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

jps@Daniel:12:1 @ And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time; and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

jps@Daniel:12:2 @ And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to reproaches and everlasting abhorrence.

jps@Daniel:12:3 @ And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn the many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

jps@Daniel:12:4 @ But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.'

jps@Daniel:12:5 @ Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on the bank of the river on this side, and the other on the bank of the river on that side.

jps@Daniel:12:6 @ And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river: 'How long shall it be to the end of the wonders?'

jps@Daniel:12:7 @ And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he lifted up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and swore by Him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half; and when they have made an end of breaking in pieces the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

jps@Daniel:12:8 @ And I heard, but I understood not; then said I: 'O my Lord, what shall be the latter end of these things?'

jps@Daniel:12:9 @ And he said: 'Go thy way, Daniel; for the words are shut up and sealed till the time of the end.

jps@Daniel:12:10 @ Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but they that are wise shall understand.

jps@Daniel:12:11 @ And from the time that the continual burnt-offering shall be taken away, and the detestable thing that causes appalment set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

jps@Daniel:12:13 @ But go thou thy way till the end be; and thou shalt rest, and shalt stand up to thy lot, at the end of the days.'

jps@Hosea:1:1 @ THE WORD of the LORD that came unto Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
