jps@Esther:6:11 @ Then took Haman the apparel and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and caused him to ride through the street of the city, and proclaimed before him: 'Thus shall it be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour.'

jps@Esther:6:13 @ And Haman recounted unto Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him: 'If Mordecai, before whom thou hast begun to fall, be of the seed of the Jews, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him.'

jps@Esther:7:2 @ And the king said again unto Esther on the second day at the banquet of wine: 'Whatever thy petition, queen Esther, it shall be granted thee; and whatever thy request, even to the half of the kingdom, it shall be performed.'

jps@Esther:7:4 @ for we are sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be slain, and to perish. But if we had been sold for bondmen and bondwomen, I had held my peace, for the adversary is not worthy that the king be endamaged.'

jps@Esther:7:6 @ And Esther said: 'An adversary and an enemy, even this wicked Haman.' Then Haman was terrified before the king and the queen.

jps@Esther:7:7 @ And the king arose in his wrath from the banquet of wine and went into the palace garden; but Haman remained to make request for his life to Esther the queen; for he saw that there was evil determined against him by the king.

jps@Esther:7:8 @ Then the king returned out of the palace garden into the place of the banquet of wine; and Haman was fallen upon the couch whereon Esther was. Then said the king: 'Will he even force the queen before me in the house?' As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

jps@Esther:7:9 @ Then said Harbonah, one of the chamberlains that were before the king: 'Behold also, the gallows fifty cubits high, which Haman hath made for Mordecai, who spoke good for the king, standeth in the house of Haman.' And the king said: 'Hang him thereon.'

jps@Esther:7:10 @ So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's wrath assuaged.

jps@Esther:8:1 @ On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews' enemy unto Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was unto her.

jps@Esther:8:3 @ And Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and besought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.

jps@Esther:8:4 @ Then the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre. So Esther arose, and stood before the king.

jps@Esther:8:5 @ And she said: 'If it please the king, and if I have found favour in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews that are in all the king's provinces;

jps@Esther:8:6 @ for how can I endure to see the evil that shall come unto my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?'

jps@Esther:8:8 @ Write ye also concerning the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring; for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse.'

jps@Esther:8:13 @ The copy of the writing, to be given out for a decree in every province, was to be published unto all the peoples, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

jps@Esther:8:15 @ And Mordecai went forth from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a rob of fine linen and purple; and the city of Shushan shouted and was glad.

jps@Esther:8:17 @ And in every province, and in every city, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, the Jews had gladness and joy, a feast and a good day. And many from among the peoples of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews was fallen upon them.

jps@Esther:9:2 @ the Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt; and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them was fallen upon all the peoples.

jps@Esther:9:4 @ For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame went forth throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.

jps@Esther:9:11 @ On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the castle was brought before the king.

jps@Esther:9:16 @ And the other Jews that were in the king's provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of them that hated them seventy and five thousand--but on the spoil they laid not their hand--

jps@Esther:9:19 @ Therefore do the Jews of the villages, that dwell in the unwalled towns, make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.

jps@Esther:9:25 @ but when she came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he had devised against the Jews, should return upon his own head; and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

jps@Esther:9:26 @ Wherefore they called these days Purim, after the name of pur. Therefore because of all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and that which had come unto them,

jps@Esther:9:31 @ to confirm these days of Purim in their appointed times, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had ordained for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.

jps@Job:1:5 @ And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said: 'It may be that my sons have sinned, and blasphemed God in their hearts.' Thus did Job continually.

jps@Job:1:6 @ Now it fell upon a day, that the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

jps@Job:2:5 @ But put forth Thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, surely he will blaspheme Thee to Thy face.'

jps@Job:2:7 @ So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot even unto his crown.

jps@Job:2:10 @ But he said unto her: 'Thou speakest as one of the impious women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?' For all this did not Job sin with his lips.

jps@Job:2:11 @ Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to bemoan him and to comfort him.

jps@Job:2:13 @ So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word unto him; for they saw that his grief was very great.

jps@Job:3:21 @ Who long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;

jps@Job:3:24 @ For my sighing cometh instead of my food, and my roarings are poured out like water.

jps@Job:13:15 @ Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him; but I will argue my ways before Him.

jps@Job:13:16 @ This also shall be my salvation, that a hypocrite cannot come before Him.

jps@Job:13:19 @ Who is he that will contend with me? For then would I hold my peace and die.

jps@Job:13:24 @ Wherefore hidest Thou Thy face, and holdest me for Thine enemy?

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:21:34 @ How then comfort ye me in vain? And as for your answers, there remaineth only faithlessness?

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

jps@Job:23:14 @ For He will perform that which is appointed for me; and many such things are with Him.

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:24:5 @ Behold, as wild asses in the wilderness they go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food; the desert yieldeth them bread for their children.

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

jps@Job:24:12 @ 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:27:14 @ If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not have bread enough.

jps@Job:28:1 @ For there is a mine for silver, and a place for gold which they refine.

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:28:9 @ He putteth forth his hand upon the flinty rock; He overturneth the mountains by the roots.

jps@Job:28:11 @ He bindeth the streams that they trickle not; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.

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

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

jps@Job:28:25 @ When He maketh a weight for the wind, and meteth out the waters by measure.

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

jps@Job:29:7 @ When I went forth to the gate unto the city, when I prepared my seat in the broad place,

jps@Job:29:11 @ For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me, and when the eye saw me, it gave witness unto me;

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:29:21 @ Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence for my counsel.

jps@Job:29:23 @ And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.

jps@Job:29:25 @ I chose out their way, and sat as chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.

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

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

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

jps@Job:30:23 @ For I know that Thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.

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:30:25 @ If I have not wept for him that was in trouble, and if my soul grieved not for the needy.

jps@Job:30:26 @ Yet, when I looked for good, there came evil; and when I waited for light, there came darkness.

jps@Job:30:28 @ I go mourning without the sun; I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.

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:31:11 @ For that were a heinous crime; yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges.

jps@Job:31:12 @ For it is a fire that consumeth unto destruction, and would root out all mine increase.

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:31:28 @ This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges; for I should have lied to God that is above.

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:32:10 @ Therefore I say: 'Hearken to me; I also will declare mine opinion.'

jps@Job:32:11 @ Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.

jps@Job:32:14 @ For he hath not directed his words against me; neither will I answer him with your speeches.

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

jps@Job:32:22 @ For I know not to give flattering titles; else would my Maker soon take me away.

jps@Job:33:5 @ If thou canst, answer thou me, set thy words in order before me, stand forth.

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

jps@Job:33:10 @ Behold, He findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for His enemy;

jps@Job:33:12 @ Behold, I answer thee: In this thou art not right, that God is too great for man;

jps@Job:33:14 @ For God speaketh in one way, yea in two, though man perceiveth it not.

jps@Job:33:23 @ If there be for him an angel, an intercessor, one among a thousand, to vouch for a man's uprightness;

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:33:32 @ If thou hast any thing to say, answer me; speak, for I desire to justify thee.

jps@Job:34:3 @ For the ear trieth words, as the palate tasteth food.

jps@Job:34:4 @ Let us choose for us that which is right; let us know among ourselves what is good.

jps@Job:34:5 @ For Job hath said: 'I am righteous, and God hath taken away my right;

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:34:19 @ 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:34:23 @ For He doth not appoint a time unto any man, when he should go before God in judgment.

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

jps@Job:34:33 @ Shall His recompense be as thou wilt? For thou loathest it, so that thou must choose, and not I; therefore speak what thou knowest.

jps@Job:34:37 @ For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.

jps@Job:35:2 @ Thinkest thou this to be thy right, or sayest thou: 'I am righteousness before God',

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:35:14 @ Yea, when thou sayest thou canst not see Him--the cause is before Him; therefore wait thou for Him.

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:36:2 @ Suffer me a little, and I will tell thee; for there are yet words on God's behalf.

jps@Job:36:4 @ For truly my words are not false; one that is upright in mind is with thee.

jps@Job:36:7 @ He withdraweth not His eyes from the righteous; but with kings upon the throne He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.

jps@Job:36:13 @ But they that are godless in heart lay up anger; they cry not for help when He bindeth 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:36:19 @ Will thy riches avail, that are without stint, or all the forces of thy strength?

jps@Job:36:21 @ Take heed, regard not iniquity; for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.

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

jps@Job:36:31 @ For by these He judgeth the peoples; He giveth food in abundance.

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

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:37:13 @ Whether it be for correction, or for His earth, or for mercy, that He cause it to come.

jps@Job:37:19 @ Teach us what we shall say unto Him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.

jps@Job:37:24 @ Men do therefore fear Him; He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.

jps@Job:38:3 @ Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto Me.

jps@Job:38:7 @ When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

jps@Job:38:8 @ Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth, and issued out of the womb;

jps@Job:38:9 @ When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

jps@Job:38:10 @ And prescribed for it My decree, and set bars and doors,

jps@Job:38:19 @ Where is the way to the dwelling of light, and as for darkness, where is the place thereof;

jps@Job:38:21 @ Thou knowest it, for thou wast then born, and the number of thy days is great!

jps@Job:38:25 @ Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood, or a way for the lightning of the thunder;

jps@Job:38:27 @ To satisfy the desolate and waste ground, and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?

jps@Job:38:32 @ Canst thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season? Or canst thou guide the Bear with her sons?

jps@Job:38:35 @ Canst thou send forth lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee: 'Here we are'?

jps@Job:38:39 @ Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lioness? Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

jps@Job:38:41 @ Who provideth for the raven his prey, when his young ones cry unto God, and wander for lack of food?

jps@Job:39:1 @ Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? Or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?

jps@Job:39:2 @ Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

jps@Job:39:3 @ They bow themselves, they bring forth their young, they cast out their fruit.

jps@Job:39:4 @ Their young ones wax strong, they grow up in the open field; they go forth, and return not again.

jps@Job:39:14 @ For she leaveth her eggs on the earth, and warmeth them in dust,

jps@Job:39:15 @ And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may trample them.

jps@Job:40:16 @ Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the stays of his body.

jps@Job:40:20 @ Surely the mountains bring him forth food, and all the beasts of the field play there.

jps@Job:40:23 @ Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; he is confident, though the Jordan rush forth to his mouth.

jps@Job:41:4 @ Will he make a covenant with thee, that thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever?

jps@Job:41:5 @ Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

jps@Job:41:10 @ None is so fierce that dare stir him up; who then is able to stand before Me?

jps@Job:41:11 @ Who hath given Me anything beforehand, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is Mine.

jps@Job:41:19 @ Out of his mouth go burning torches, and sparks of fire leap forth.

jps@Job:41:22 @ In his neck abideth strength, and dismay danceth before him.

jps@Job:42:3 @ Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that which I understood not, things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

jps@Job:42:6 @ Wherefore I abhor my words, and repent, seeing I am dust and ashes.

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@Psalms:10:12 @ Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up Thy hand; forget not the humble.

jps@Psalms:10:13 @ Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, and say in his heart: 'Thou wilt not require'?

jps@Isaiah:36:9 @ How then canst thou turn away the face of one captain, even of the least of my master's servants? yet thou puttest thy trust on Egypt for chariots and for horsemen!

jps@Isaiah:36:11 @ Then said Eliakim and Shebna and Joah unto Rab-shakeh: 'Speak, I pray thee, unto thy servants in the Aramean language, for we understand it; and speak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears of the people that are on the wall.'

jps@Isaiah:36:14 @ Thus saith the king: Let not Hezekiah beguile you, for he will not be able to deliver you;

jps@Isaiah:36:21 @ But they held their peace, and answered him not a word; for the king's commandment was, saying: 'Answer him not.'

jps@Isaiah:37:3 @ And they said unto him: 'Thus saith Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of contumely; for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.

jps@Isaiah:37:26 @ Hast thou not heard? Long ago I made it, in ancient times I fashioned it; now have I brought it to pass, yea, it is done; that fortified cities should be laid waste into ruinous heaps.

jps@Isaiah:37:27 @ Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded; they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as a field of corn before it is grown up.

jps@Isaiah:37:29 @ Because of thy raging against Me, and for that thine uproar is come up into Mine ears, therefore will I put My hook in thy nose, and My bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.

jps@Isaiah:38:16 @ O Lord, by these things men live, and altogether therein is the life of my spirit; wherefore recover Thou me, and make me to live.

jps@Isaiah:38:17 @ Behold, for my peace I had great bitterness; but Thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption; for Thou hast cast all my sins behind Thy back.

jps@Isaiah:38:18 @ For the nether-world cannot praise Thee, death cannot celebrate Thee; they that go down into the pit cannot hope for Thy truth.

jps@Isaiah:38:20 @ The LORD is ready to save me; therefore we will sing songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD.

jps@Daniel:2:20 @ Daniel spoke and said: Blessed be the name of God from everlasting even unto everlasting; for wisdom and might are His;

jps@Daniel:2:23 @ I thank Thee, and praise Thee, O Thou God of my fathers, who hath given me wisdom and might, and hast now made known unto me what we desired of Thee; for Thou hast made known unto us the king's matter.

jps@Daniel:2:24 @ Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and said thus unto him: 'Destroy not the wise men of Babylon; bring me in before the king, and I will declare unto the king the interpretation.'

jps@Daniel:2:25 @ Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king in haste, and said thus unto him: 'I have found a man of the children of the captivity of Judah, that will make known unto the king the interpretation.'

jps@Daniel:2:27 @ Daniel answered before the king, and said: 'The secret which the king hath asked can neither wise men, enchanters, magicians, nor astrologers, declare unto the king;

jps@Daniel:2:29 @ as for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter; and He that revealeth secrets hath made known to thee what shall come to pass.

jps@Daniel:2:30 @ But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but to the intent that the interpretation may be made known to the king, and that thou mayest know the thoughts of thy heart.

jps@Daniel:2:31 @ Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This image, which was mighty, and whose brightness was surpassing, stood before thee; and the appearance thereof was terrible.

jps@Daniel:2:32 @ As for that image, its head was of fine gold, its breast and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of brass,

jps@Daniel:2:35 @ Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken in pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshing-floors; and the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them; and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.

jps@Daniel:2:36 @ This is the dream; and we will tell the interpretation thereof before the king.

jps@Daniel:2:40 @ And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as iron; forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and beateth down all things; and as iron that crusheth all these, shall it break in pieces and crush.

jps@Daniel:2:41 @ And whereas thou sawest the feet and toes, part of potters' clay, and part of iron, it shall be a divided kingdom; but there shall be in it of the firmness of the iron, forasmuch as thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay.

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: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:3:7 @ 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:3:8 @ Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came near, and brought accusation against the Jews.

jps@Daniel:3:9 @ They spoke and said to Nebuchadnezzar the king: 'O king, live for ever!

jps@Daniel:3:13 @ Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. Then were these men brought before the 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:3:22 @ 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:3:26 @ 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:3:29 @ 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: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:4:12 @ 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:4:18 @ 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. The king spoke and said: 'Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation, affright thee.' Belteshazzar answered and said: 'My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine adversaries.

jps@Daniel:4:21 @ whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was food for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation;

jps@Daniel:4:22 @ it is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong; for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.

jps@Daniel:4:27 @ Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by almsgiving, and thine iniquities by showing mercy to the poor; if there may be a lengthening of thy prosperity.'

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:4:34 @ 'And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the Most High, and I praised and honoured Him that liveth for ever; for His dominion is an everlasting dominion, and His kingdom from generation to generation;

jps@Daniel:4:36 @ At the same time mine understanding returned unto me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my majesty and my splendour returned unto me; and my ministers and my lords sought unto me; and I was established in my kingdom, and surpassing greatness was added unto me.

jps@Daniel:4:37 @ Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven; for all His works are truth, and His ways justice; and those that walk in pride He is able to abase.'

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:5:5 @ In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's palace; and the king saw the palm of the hand that wrote.

jps@Daniel:5:10 @ Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house; the queen spoke and said: 'O king, live for ever! let not thy thoughts affright thee, nor let thy countenance be changed;

jps@Daniel:5:12 @ forasmuch as a surpassing spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and declaring of riddles, and loosing of knots, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will declare the interpretation.'

jps@Daniel:5:13 @ Then was Daniel brought in before the king. The king spoke and said unto Daniel: 'Art thou Daniel, who is of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Judah?

jps@Daniel:5:15 @ And now the wise men, the enchanters, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof; but they could not declare the interpretation of the thing.

jps@Daniel:5:17 @ Then Daniel answered and said before the king: 'Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; nevertheless I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.

jps@Daniel:5:19 @ and because of the greatness that He gave him, all the peoples, nations, and languages trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew, and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he raised up, and whom he would he put down.

jps@Daniel:6:9 @ Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the interdict.

jps@Daniel:6:10 @ And when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house--now his windows were open in his upper chamber toward Jerusalem--and he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime.

jps@Daniel:6:11 @ Then these men came tumultuously, and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.

jps@Daniel:6:12 @ Then they came near, and spoke before the king concerning the king's interdict: 'Hast thou not signed an interdict, that every man that shall make petition unto any god or man within thirty days, save of thee, O king, shall be cast into the den of lions?' The king answered and said: 'The thing is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.'

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:6:18 @ Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting; neither were diversions brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.

jps@Daniel:6:21 @ Then said Daniel unto the king: 'O king, live for ever!

jps@Daniel:6:22 @ My God hath sent His angel, and hath shut the lions' mouths, and they have not hurt me; forasmuch as before Him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt.'

jps@Daniel:6:26 @ I make a decree, that in all the dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for He is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and His dominion shall be even unto the end;

jps@Daniel:7:7 @ After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet; and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

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:7:10 @ A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him; thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

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:7:24 @ 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:7:28 @ 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:8:3 @ And I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood before the stream a ram which had two horns; and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last.

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:8:6 @ 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:8:9 @ 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:8:15 @ 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:8:17 @ 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: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:9:9 @ To the Lord our God belong compassions and forgivenesses; for we have rebelled against Him;

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:9:16 @ 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:9:22 @ 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.
