jps@2Kings:20:9 @ And Isaiah said: 'This shall be the sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do the thing that He hath spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten degrees, or go back ten degrees?

jps@2Kings:20:10 @ And Hezekiah answered: 'It is a light thing for the shadow to decline ten degrees; nay, but let the shadow return backward ten degrees.'

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:20:14 @ Then came Isaiah the prophet unto king Hezekiah, and said unto him: 'What said these men? and from whence came they unto thee?' And Hezekiah said: 'They are come from a far country, even from Babylon.'

jps@2Kings:20:15 @ And he said: 'What have they seen in thy house?' And Hezekiah answered: 'All that is in my house have they seen; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.'

jps@2Kings:21:2 @ And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the nations, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

jps@2Kings:21:3 @ For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reared up altars for Baal, and made an Asherah, as did Ahab king of Israel, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

jps@2Kings:21:4 @ And he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD said: 'In Jerusalem will I put My name.'

jps@2Kings:21:5 @ And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

jps@2Kings:21:6 @ And he made his son to pass through the fire, and practised soothsaying, and used enchantments, and appointed them that divined by a ghost or a familiar spirit: he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him.

jps@2Kings:21:7 @ And he set the graven image of Asherah, that he had made, in the house of which the LORD said to David and to Solomon his son: 'In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put My name for ever;

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:21:10 @ And the LORD spoke by His servants the prophets, saying:

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:21:13 @ And I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria, and the plummet of the house of Ahab; and I will wipe Jerusalem as a man wipeth a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.

jps@2Kings:21:14 @ And I will cast off the remnant of Mine inheritance, and deliver them into the hand of their enemies; and they shall become a prey and a spoil to all their enemies;

jps@2Kings:21:15 @ because they have done that which is evil in My sight, and have provoked Me, since the day their fathers came forth out of Egypt, even unto this day.'

jps@2Kings:21:16 @ Moreover Manasseh shed innocent blood very much, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to another; beside his sin wherewith he made Judah to sin, in doing that which was evil in the sight of the LORD.

jps@2Kings:21:17 @ Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all that he did, and his sin that he sinned, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

jps@2Kings:21:21 @ And he walked in all the way that his father walked in, and served the idols that his father served, and worshipped them.

jps@2Kings:21:22 @ And he forsook the LORD, the God of his fathers, and walked not in the way of the LORD.

jps@2Kings:21:23 @ And the servants of Amon conspired against him, and put the king to death in his own house.

jps@2Kings:21:24 @ But the people of the land slew all them that had conspired against king Amon; and the people of the land made Josiah his son king in his stead.

jps@2Kings:22:3 @ And it came to pass in the eighteenth year of king Josiah, that the king sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the LORD, saying.

jps@2Kings:22:4 @ 'Go up to Hilkiah the high priest, that he may sum the money which is brought into the house of the LORD, which the keepers of the door have gathered of the people;

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:22:6 @ unto the carpenters, and to the builders, and to the masons; and for buying timber and hewn stone to repair 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:22:9 @ And Shaphan the scribe came to the king, and brought back word unto the king, and said: 'Thy servants have poured out the money that was found in the house, and have delivered it into the hand of the workmen that have the oversight of the house of the LORD.'

jps@2Kings:22:10 @ And Shaphan the scribe told the king, saying: 'Hilkiah the priest hath delivered me a book.' And Shaphan read it before the king.

jps@2Kings:22:11 @ And it came to pass, when the king had heard the words of the book of the Law, that he rent his clothes.

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:22:20 @ Therefore, behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and thou shalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither shall thine eyes see all the evil which I will bring upon this place.' And they brought back word unto the king.

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:23:7 @ And he broke down the houses of the sodomites, that were in the house of the LORD, where the women wove coverings for the Asherah.

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:23:28 @ Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

jps@2Kings:23:29 @ In his days Pharaoh-necoh king of Egypt went up against the king of Assyria to the river Euphrates; and king Josiah went against him; and he slew him at Megiddo, when he had seen him.

jps@2Kings:23:30 @ And his servants carried him in a chariot dead from Megiddo, and brought him to Jerusalem, and buried him in his own sepulchre. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz the son of Josiah, and anointed him, and made him king in his father's stead.

jps@2Kings:23:31 @ Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when he began to reign; and he reigned three months in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

jps@2Kings:23:32 @ And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.

jps@2Kings:23:33 @ And Pharaoh-necoh put him in bands at Riblah in the land of Hamath, that he might not reign in Jerusalem; and put the land to a fine of a hundred talents of silver, and a talent of gold.

jps@2Kings:23:34 @ And Pharaoh-necoh made Eliakim the son of Josiah king in the room of Josiah his father, and changed his name to Jehoiakim; but he took Jehoahaz away; and he came to Egypt, and died there.

jps@2Kings:23:35 @ And Jehoiakim gave the silver and the gold to Pharaoh; but he taxed the land to give the money according to the commandment of Pharaoh; he exacted the silver and the gold of the people of the land, of every one according to his taxation, to give it unto Pharaoh-necoh.

jps@2Kings:23:36 @ Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Zebudah the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.

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@2Kings:24:4 @ and also for the innocent blood that he shed; for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; and the LORD would not pardon.

jps@2Kings:24:5 @ Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

jps@2Kings:24:6 @ So Jehoiakim slept with his fathers; and Jehoiachin his son reigned in his stead.

jps@2Kings:24:7 @ And the king of Egypt came not again any more out of his land; for the king of Babylon had taken, from the Brook of Egypt unto the river Euphrates, all that pertained to the king of Egypt.

jps@2Kings:24:8 @ Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he began to reign; and he reigned in Jerusalem three months; and his mother's name was Nehushta the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

jps@2Kings:25:1 @ And it came to pass in the ninth year of his reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, and encamped against it; and they built forts against it round about.

jps@2Kings:25:2 @ So the city was besieged unto the eleventh year of king Zedekiah.

jps@2Kings:25:3 @ On the ninth day of the fourth month the famine was sore in the city, so that there was no bread for the people of the land.

jps@2Kings:25:4 @ Then a breach was made in the city, and all the men of war fled by night by the way of the gate between the two walls, which was by the king's garden--now the Chaldeans were against the city round about--and the king went by the way of the Arabah.

jps@2Kings:25:5 @ But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after the king, and overtook him in the plains of Jericho; and all his army was scattered from him.

jps@2Kings:25:6 @ Then they took the king, and carried him up unto the king of Babylon to Riblah; and they gave judgment upon him.

jps@2Kings:25:7 @ And they slew the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and put out the eyes of Zedekiah, and bound him in fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

jps@2Kings:25:8 @ Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, which was the nineteenth year of king Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, a servant of the king of Babylon, unto Jerusalem.

jps@2Kings:25:9 @ And he burnt the house of the LORD, and the king's house; and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great man's house, burnt he with fire.

jps@2Kings:25:11 @ And the residue of the people that were left in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, and the residue of the multitude, did Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carry away captive.

jps@2Kings:25:12 @ But the captain of the guard left of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and husbandmen.

jps@2Kings:25:13 @ And the pillars of brass that were in the house of the LORD, and the bases and the brazen sea that were in the house of the LORD, did the Chaldeans break in pieces, and carried the brass of them to Babylon.

jps@2Kings:25:14 @ And the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the pans, and all the vessels of brass wherewith they ministered, took they away.

jps@2Kings:25:15 @ And the fire-pans, and the basins, that which was of gold, in gold, and that which was of silver, in silver, the captain of the guard took away.

jps@2Kings:25:16 @ The two pillars, the one sea, and the bases, which Solomon had made for the house of the LORD; the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

jps@2Kings:25:17 @ The height of the one pillar was eighteen cubits, and a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of the capital was three cubits; with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass; and like unto these had the second pillar with network.

jps@2Kings:25:18 @ And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the chief priest, and Zephaniah the second priest, and the three keepers of the door;

jps@2Kings:25:19 @ and out of the city he took an officer that was set over the men of war; and five men of them that saw the king's face, who were found in the city; and the scribe of the captain of the host, who mustered the people of the land; and threescore men of the people of the land, that were found in the city.

jps@2Kings:25:20 @ And Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to Riblah.

jps@2Kings:25:21 @ And the king of Babylon smote them, and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. So Judah was carried away captive out of his land.

jps@2Kings:25:22 @ And as for the people that were left in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had left, even over them he made Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, governor.

jps@2Kings:25:23 @ Now when all the captains of the forces, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah governor, they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth the Netophathite and Jaazaniah the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.

jps@2Kings:25:24 @ And Gedaliah swore to them and to their men, and said unto them: 'Fear not because of the servants of the Chaldeans; dwell in the land, and serve the king of Babylon, and it shall be well with you.'

jps@2Kings:25:26 @ And all the people, both small and great, and the captains of the forces, arose, and came to Egypt; for they were afraid of the Chaldeans.

jps@2Kings:25:27 @ And it came to pass in the seven and thirtieth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the seven and twentieth day of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the year that he began to reign, did lift up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah out of prison.

jps@2Kings:25:28 @ And he spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings that were with him in Babylon.

jps@2Kings:25:29 @ And he changed his prison garments, and did eat bread before him continually all the days of his life.

jps@2Kings:25:30 @ And for his allowance, there was a continual allowance given him of the king, every day a portion, all the days of his life.

jps@2Chronicles:1:11 @ And God said to Solomon: 'Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of them that hate thee, neither yet hast asked long life, but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for thyself, that thou mayest judge My people, over whom I have made thee king;

jps@2Chronicles:1:12 @ wisdom and knowledge is granted unto thee, and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall there any after thee have the like.'

jps@2Chronicles:1:13 @ So Solomon came from his journey to the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the tent of meeting, unto Jerusalem; and he reigned over Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:1:14 @ And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

jps@2Chronicles:1:15 @ And the king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore-trees that are in the Lowland, for abundance.

jps@2Chronicles:1:16 @ And the horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt; also out of Keve, the king's merchants buying them of the men of Keve at a price.

jps@2Chronicles:1:17 @ And they fetched up, and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram, did they bring them out by their means.

jps@2Chronicles:2:1 @ Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.

jps@2Chronicles:2:2 @ And Solomon counted out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand men that were hewers in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.

jps@2Chronicles:2:3 @ And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying: 'As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell therein,even so deal with me.

jps@2Chronicles:2:4 @ Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to Him, and to burn before Him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual showbread, and for the burnt-offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the appointed seasons of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:2:6 @ But who is able to build Him a house, seeing the heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Him? who am I then, that I should build Him a house, save only to offer before Him?

jps@2Chronicles:2:7 @ Now therefore send me a man skilful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that hath skill to grave all manner of gravings, to be with the skilful men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.

jps@2Chronicles:2:8 @ Send me also cedar-trees, cypress-trees, and sandal-wood, out of Lebanon; for I know that thy servants have skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants,

jps@2Chronicles:2:9 @ even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful.

jps@2Chronicles:2:10 @ And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.'

jps@2Chronicles:2:11 @ Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon: 'Because the LORD loveth His people, He hath made thee king over them.'

jps@2Chronicles:2:12 @ Huram said moreover: 'Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with discretion and understanding, that should build a house for the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.

jps@2Chronicles:2:13 @ And now I have sent a skilful man, endued with understanding, even Huram my master craftsman,

jps@2Chronicles:2:14 @ the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to devise any device; to do whatever may be set before him, with thy skilful men, and with the skilful men of my lord David thy father.

jps@2Chronicles:2:15 @ Now therefore the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants;

jps@2Chronicles:2:16 @ and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need; and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem.'

jps@2Chronicles:2:17 @ And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found a hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.

jps@2Chronicles:2:18 @ And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people at work.

jps@2Chronicles:3:1 @ Then Solomon began to build the house of the LORD at Jerusalem in mount Moriah, where the LORD appeared unto David his father; for which provision had been made in the Place of David, in the threshingfloor of Ornan the Jebusite.

jps@2Chronicles:3:2 @ And he began to build in the second day of the second month, in the fourth year of his reign.

jps@2Chronicles:3:3 @ Now these are the foundations which Solomon laid for the building of the house of God. The length by cubits after the ancient measure was threescore cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits.

jps@2Chronicles:3:4 @ And the porch that was before the house, the length of it, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the height a hundred and twenty; and he overlaid it within with pure gold.

jps@2Chronicles:3:5 @ And the greater house he covered with cypress-wood, which he overlaid with fine gold, and wrought thereon palm-trees and chains.

jps@2Chronicles:3:8 @ And he made the most holy place; the length thereof, according to the breadth of the house, was twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits; and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to six hundred talents.

jps@2Chronicles:3:10 @ And in the most holy place he made two cherubim of image work; and they overlaid them with gold.

jps@2Chronicles:3:11 @ And the wings of the cherubim were twenty cubits long: the wing of the one cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of the other cherub.

jps@2Chronicles:3:12 @ And the wing of the other cherub was five cubits, reaching to the wall of the house; and the other wing was five cubits also, joining to the wing of the other cherub.

jps@2Chronicles:3:13 @ The wings of these cherubim spread themselves forth twenty cubits; and they stood on their feet, and their faces were inward.

jps@2Chronicles:3:14 @ And he made the veil of blue, and purple, and crimson, and fine linen, and wrought cherubim thereon.

jps@2Chronicles:3:16 @ And he made chains in the Sanctuary, and put them on the tops of the pillars; and he made a hundred pomegranates, and put them on the chains.

jps@2Chronicles:3:17 @ And he set up the pillars before the temple, one on the right hand, and the other on the left; and called the name of that on the right hand Jachin, and the name of that on the left Boaz.

jps@2Chronicles:4:2 @ Also he made the molten sea of ten cubits from brim to brim, round in compass, and the height thereof was five cubits; and a line of thirty cubits did compass it round about.

jps@2Chronicles:4:3 @ And under it was the similitude of oxen, which did compass it round about, for ten cubits, compassing the sea round about. The oxen were in two rows, cast when it was cast.

jps@2Chronicles:4:4 @ It stood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward the north, and three looking toward the west, and three looking toward the south, and three looking toward the east; and the sea was set upon them above, and all their hinder parts were inward.

jps@2Chronicles:4:6 @ He made also ten lavers, and put five on the right hand, and five on the left, to wash in them; such things as belonged to the burnt-offering they washed in them; but the sea was for the priests to wash in.

jps@2Chronicles:4:7 @ And he made the ten candlesticks of gold according to the ordinance concerning them; and he set them in the temple, five on the right hand, and five on the left.

jps@2Chronicles:4:8 @ He made also ten tables, and placed them in the temple, five on the right side, and five on the left. And he made a hundred basins of gold.

jps@2Chronicles:4:11 @ And Huram made the pots, and the shovels, and the basins. So Huram made an end of doing the work that he wrought for king Solomon in the house of God:

jps@2Chronicles:4:16 @ The pots also, and the shovels, and the flesh-hooks, and all the vessels thereof, did Huram his master craftsman make for king Solomon for the house of the LORD of bright brass.

jps@2Chronicles:4:17 @ In the plain of the Jordan did the king cast them, in the clay ground between Succoth and Zeredah.

jps@2Chronicles:4:18 @ Thus Solomon made all these vessels in great abundance; for the weight of the brass could not be found out.

jps@2Chronicles:4:19 @ And Solomon made all the vessels that were in the house of God, the golden altar also, and the tables whereon was the showbread;

jps@2Chronicles:5:1 @ Thus all the work that Solomon wrought for the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things that David his father had hallowed; even the silver, and the gold, and all the vessels, and put them in the treasuries of the house of God.

jps@2Chronicles:5:2 @ Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers' houses of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.

jps@2Chronicles:5:7 @ And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto its place, into the Sanctuary of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.

jps@2Chronicles:5:8 @ For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.

jps@2Chronicles:5:10 @ There was nothing in the ark save the two tables which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

jps@2Chronicles:5:12 @ also the Levites who were the singers, all of them, even Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and their brethren, arrayed in fine linen, with cymbals and psalteries and harps, stood at the east end of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests sounding with trumpets--

jps@2Chronicles:9:29 @ Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, first and last, are they not written in the words of Nathan the prophet, and in the prophecy of Ahijah the Shilonite, and in the visions of Jedo the seer concerning Jeroboam the son of Nebat?

jps@2Chronicles:9:30 @ And Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel forty years.

jps@2Chronicles:9:31 @ And Solomon slept with his fathers; they buried him in the city of David his father; and Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead.

jps@2Chronicles:10:1 @ And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.

jps@2Chronicles:10:2 @ And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it--for he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon--that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.

jps@2Chronicles:10:3 @ And they sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying:

jps@2Chronicles:10:5 @ And he said unto them: 'Come again unto me after three days.' And the people departed.

jps@2Chronicles:10:6 @ And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying: 'What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?'

jps@2Chronicles:10:7 @ And they spoke unto him, saying: 'If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.'

jps@2Chronicles:10:9 @ And he said unto them: 'What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying: Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?'

jps@2Chronicles:10:10 @ And the young men that were grown up with him spoke unto him, saying: 'Thus shalt thou say unto the people that spoke unto thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them: My little finger is thicker than my father's loins.

jps@2Chronicles:10:12 @ So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying: 'Come to me again the third day.'

jps@2Chronicles:10:13 @ And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,

jps@2Chronicles:10:14 @ and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying: ' My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'

jps@2Chronicles:10:15 @ So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was brought about of God, that the LORD might establish His word, which He spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

jps@2Chronicles:10:16 @ And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying: 'What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse; every man to your tents, O Israel; now see to thine own house, David.' So all Israel departed unto their tents.

jps@2Chronicles:10:17 @ But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.

jps@2Chronicles:10:18 @ Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the levy; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, so that he died. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.

jps@2Chronicles:10:19 @ So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.

jps@2Chronicles:11:1 @ And when Rehoboam was come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and fourscore thousand chosen men, that were warriors, to fight against Israel, to bring the kingdom back to Rehoboam.

jps@2Chronicles:11:2 @ But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying:

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:11:5 @ And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerusalem, and built cities for defence in Judah.

jps@2Chronicles:11:10 @ and Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which are in Judah and in Benjamin, fortified cities.

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

jps@2Chronicles:11:12 @ And in every city he put shields and spears, and made them exceeding strong. And Judah and Benjamin adhered to him.

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:11:15 @ and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the satyrs, and for the calves which he had made.

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:11:21 @ 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:12:4 @ And he took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came unto Jerusalem.

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: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:13:8 @ 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:13:10 @ 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:13:16 @ 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:13:19 @ 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:14:5 @ 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:14:6 @ And he built fortified cities in Judah; for the land was quiet, and he had no war in those years; because the LORD had given him rest.

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:14:11 @ And Asa cried unto the LORD his God, and said: 'LORD, there is none beside Thee to help, between the mighty and him that hath no strength; help us, O LORD our God; for we rely on Thee, and in Thy name are we come against this multitude. Thou art the LORD our God; let not man prevail against Thee.'

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:14:14 @ And they smote all the cities round about Gerar; for a terror from the LORD came upon them; and they spoiled all the cities; for there was much spoil in them.

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:15:2 @ 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:15:3 @ Now for long seasons Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law;

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:15:14 @ And they swore unto the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with horns.

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:15:18 @ 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: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:16:8 @ Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge host, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, He delivered them into thy hand.

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:17:5 @ Therefore the LORD established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah brought to Jehoshaphat presents; and he had riches and honour in abundance.

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:17:11 @ 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:17:19 @ These were they that waited on the king beside those whom the king put in the fortified cities throughout all Judah.

jps@2Chronicles:18:1 @ Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab by marriage.

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:18:14 @ And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him: 'Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall I forbear?' And he said: 'Go ye up, and prosper; and they shall be delivered into your hand.'

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:18:16 @ And he said: 'I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd; and the LORD said: These have no master, let them return every man to his house in peace.'

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:18:24 @ And Micaiah said: 'Behold, thou shalt see on that day, when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.'

jps@2Chronicles:26:15 @ And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by skilful men, to be on the towers and upon the corners, wherewith to shoot arrows and great stones. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.

jps@2Chronicles:26:16 @ But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up so that he did corruptly, and he trespassed against the LORD his God; for he went into the temple of the LORD to burn incense upon the altar of incense.

jps@2Chronicles:28:21 @ For Ahaz stripped the house of the LORD, and the house of the king and the princes, and gave thereof unto the king of Assyria; but it helped him not.

jps@2Chronicles:28:22 @ And in the time of his distress did he act even more treacherously against the LORD, this same king Ahaz.

jps@2Chronicles:28:23 @ For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him; and he said: 'Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me.' But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:28:24 @ And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD; and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.

jps@2Chronicles:29:25 @ And he set the Levites in the house of the LORD with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of the LORD by His prophets.

jps@2Chronicles:29:26 @ And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

jps@2Chronicles:29:27 @ And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt-offering upon the altar. And when the burnt-offering began, the song of the LORD began also, and the trumpets, together with the instruments of David king of Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:29:29 @ And when they had made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves and prostrated themselves.

jps@2Chronicles:29:30 @ Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and prostrated themselves.

jps@2Chronicles:29:31 @ Then Hezekiah answered and said: 'Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the LORD.'

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:29:33 @ And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.

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:29:35 @ And also the burnt-offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace-offerings, and the drink-offerings for every burnt- offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was firmly established.

jps@2Chronicles:29:36 @ And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, because of that which God had prepared for the people; for the thing was done suddenly.

jps@2Chronicles:30:2 @ For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.

jps@2Chronicles:30:3 @ For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves in sufficient number, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.

jps@2Chronicles:30:4 @ And the thing was right in the eyes of the king and of all the congregation.

jps@2Chronicles:30:5 @ So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem; for they had not kept it in great numbers according as it is written.

jps@2Chronicles:30:6 @ So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying: 'Ye children of Israel, turn back unto the LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, that He may return to the remnant that are escaped of you out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.

jps@2Chronicles:30:7 @ And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, who acted treacherously against the LORD, the God of their fathers, so that He delivered them to be an astonishment, as ye see.

jps@2Chronicles:30:8 @ Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers were; but yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into His sanctuary, which He hath sanctified for ever, and serve the LORD your God, that His fierce anger may turn away from you.

jps@2Chronicles:30:9 @ For if ye turn back unto the LORD, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before them that led them captive, and shall come back into this land; for the LORD your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn away His face from you, if ye return unto Him.'

jps@2Chronicles:30:14 @ And they arose and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast them into the brook Kidron.

jps@2Chronicles:30:15 @ Then they killed the passover lamb on the fourteenth day of the second month; and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought burnt-offerings into the house of the LORD.

jps@2Chronicles:30:16 @ And they stood in their place after their order, according to the law of Moses the man of God; the priests dashed the blood, which they received of the hand of the Levites.

jps@2Chronicles:30:17 @ For there were many in the congregation that had not sanctified themselves; therefore the Levites had the charge of killing the passover lambs for every one that was not clean, to sanctify them unto the LORD.

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:30:19 @ every one that setteth his heart to seek God, the LORD, the God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed according to the purification that pertaineth to holy things.'

jps@2Chronicles:30:21 @ And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness; and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, singing with loud instruments unto the LORD.

jps@2Chronicles:30:22 @ And Hezekiah spoke encouragingly unto all the Levites that were well skilled in the service of the LORD. So they did eat throughout the feast for the seven days, offering sacrifices of peace-offerings, and giving thanks to the LORD, the God of their fathers.

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@2Chronicles:30:25 @ And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.

jps@2Chronicles:30:26 @ So there was great joy in Jerusalem; for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem.

jps@2Chronicles:31:1 @ Now when all this was finished, all Israel that were present went out to the cities of Judah, and broke in pieces the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim, and broke down the high places and the altars out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim also and Manasseh, until they had destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned, every man to his possession, into their own cities.

jps@2Chronicles:31:2 @ And Hezekiah appointed the courses of the priest and the Levites after their courses, every man according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt-offerings and for peace-offerings, to minister, and to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of the LORD.

jps@2Chronicles:31:4 @ Moreover he commanded the people that dwelt in Jerusalem to give the portion of the priests and the Levites, that they might give themselves to the law of the LORD.

jps@2Chronicles:31:5 @ And as soon as the commandment came abroad, the children of Israel gave in abundance the first-fruits of corn, wine, and oil, and honey, and of all the increase of the field; and the tithe of all things brought they in abundantly.

jps@2Chronicles:32:31 @ Howbeit in the business of the ambassadors of the princes of Babylon, who sent unto him to inquire of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him, to try him, that He might know all that was in his heart.

jps@2Chronicles:32:32 @ Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his good deeds, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:33:1 @ Manasseh was twelve years old when he began to reign; and he reigned fifty and five years in Jerusalem.

jps@2Chronicles:33:2 @ And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, after the abominations of the nations, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:33:3 @ For he built again the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; and he reared up altars for the Baalim, and made Asheroth, and worshipped all the host of heaven, and served them.

jps@2Chronicles:33:4 @ And he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD said: 'In Jerusalem shall My name be for ever.'

jps@2Chronicles:33:5 @ And he built altars for all the host of heaven in the two courts of the house of the LORD.

jps@2Chronicles:33:6 @ He also made his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he practised soothsaying, and used enchantments, and practised sorcery, and appointed them that divined by a ghost or a familiar spirit; he wrought much evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him.

jps@2Chronicles:33:7 @ And he set the graven image of the idol, which he had made, in the house of God, of which God said to David and to Solomon his son: 'In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put My name for ever;

jps@2Chronicles:33:9 @ And Manasseh made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to err, so that they did evil more than did the nations, whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:33:11 @ Wherefore the LORD brought upon them the captains of the host of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh with hooks, and bound him with fetters, and carried him to Babylon.

jps@2Chronicles:33:12 @ And when he was in distress, he besought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers.

jps@2Chronicles:33:13 @ And he prayed unto Him; and He was entreated of him, and heard his supplication, and brought him back to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD He was God.

jps@2Chronicles:33:14 @ Now after this he built an outer wall to the city of David, on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, even to the entrance at the fish gate; and he compassed about Ophel, and raised it up a very great height; and he put captains of the army in all the fortified cities of Judah.

jps@2Chronicles:33:15 @ And he took away the strange gods, and the idol out of the house of the LORD, and all the altars that he had built in the mount of the house of the LORD, and in Jerusalem, and cast them out of the city.

jps@2Chronicles:33:16 @ And he built up the altar of the LORD, and offered thereon sacrifices of peace-offerings and of thanksgiving, and commanded Judah to serve the LORD, the God of Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:33:17 @ Nevertheless the people did sacrifice still in the high places, but only unto the LORD their God.

jps@2Chronicles:33:18 @ Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer unto his God, and the words of the seers that spoke to him in the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, behold, they are written among the acts of the kings of Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:33:19 @ His prayer also, and how God was entreated of him, and all his sin and his transgression, and the places wherein he built high places, and set up the Asherim and the graven images, before he humbled himself; behold, they are written in the history of the seers.

jps@2Chronicles:33:20 @ So Manasseh slept with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house; and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

jps@2Chronicles:34:4 @ And they broke down the altars of the Baalim in his presence; and the sun-images, that were on high above them, he hewed down; and the Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images, he broke in pieces, and made dust of them, and strewed it upon the graves of them that had sacrificed unto them.

jps@2Chronicles:34:6 @ And so did he in the cities of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with their axes round about.

jps@2Chronicles:34:7 @ And he broke down the altars, and beat the Asherim and the graven images into powder, and hewed down all the sun-images throughout all the land of Israel, and returned to Jerusalem.

jps@2Chronicles:35:14 @ And afterward they prepared for themselves, and for the priests; because the priests the sons of Aaron were busied in offering the portions that were to be burnt and the fat until night; therefore the Levites prepared for themselves, and for the priests the sons of Aaron.

jps@Nehemiah:2:14 @ Then I went on to the fountain gate and to the king's pool; but there was no place for the beast that was under me to pass.

jps@Nehemiah:2:15 @ Then went I up in the night in the valley, and viewed the wall; and I turned back, and entered by the valley gate, and so returned.

jps@Nehemiah:2:17 @ Then said I unto them: 'Ye see the evil case that we are in, how Jerusalem lieth waste, and the gates thereof are burned with fire; come and let us build up the wall of Jerusalem, that we be no more a reproach.'

jps@Nehemiah:2:18 @ And I told them of the hand of my God which was good upon me; as also of the king's words that he had spoken unto me. And they said: 'Let us rise up and build.' So they strengthened their hands for the good work.

jps@Nehemiah:2:19 @ But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said: 'What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?'

jps@Nehemiah:2:20 @ Then answered I them, and said unto them: 'The God of heaven, He will prosper us; therefore we His servants will arise and build; but ye have no portion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerusalem.'

jps@Nehemiah:4:1 @ But it came to pass that, when Sanballat heard that we builded the wall, he was wroth, and took great indignation, and mocked the Jews.

jps@Nehemiah:4:2 @ And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said: 'What do these feeble Jews? will they restore at will? will they sacrifice? will they make an end this day? will they revive the stones out of the heaps of rubbish, seeing they are burned?'

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:4:5 @ and cover not their iniquity, and let not their sin be blotted out from before Thee; for they have vexed Thee before the builders.

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:4:11 @ 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:4:16 @ 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:4:20 @ 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:4:22 @ Likewise at the same time said I unto the people: 'Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and may labour in the day.'

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:5:4 @ There were also that said: 'We have borrowed money for the king's tribute upon our fields and our vineyards.

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:5:7 @ Then I consulted with myself, and contended with the nobles and the rulers, and said unto them: 'Ye lend upon pledge, every one to his brother.' And I held a great assembly against them.

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:5:11 @ 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:5:13 @ Also I shook out my lap, and said: 'So God shake out every man from his house, and from his labour, that performeth not this promise; even thus be he shaken out, and emptied.' And all the congregation said: 'Amen', and praised the LORD. And the people did 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:5:18 @ 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:6:3 @ And I sent messengers unto them, saying: 'I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down; why should the work cease, whilst I leave it, and come down to you?'

jps@Nehemiah:6:5 @ Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;

jps@Nehemiah:6:6 @ wherein was written: 'It is reported among the nations, and Geshem saith it, that thou and the Jews think to rebel; for which cause thou buildest the wall; and thou wouldest be their king, even according to these words.

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:6:9 @ For they all would have us afraid, saying: 'Their hands shall be weakened from the work, that it be not done.' But now, strengthen Thou my hands.

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:6:11 @ And I said: 'Should such a man as I flee? and who is there, that, being such as I, could go into the temple and live? I will not go in.'

jps@Nehemiah:6:12 @ And I discerned, and, lo, God had not sent him; for he pronounced this prophecy against me, whereas Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

jps@Nehemiah:6:13 @ For this cause was he hired, that I should be afraid, and do so, and sin, and that they might have matter for an evil report, that they might taunt me.

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:7:1 @ Now it came to pass, when the wall was built, and I had set up the doors, and the porters and the singers and the Levites were appointed,

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:7:4 @ Now the city was wide and large; but the people were few therein, and the houses were not builded.

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@Nehemiah:7:6 @ These are the children of the province, that went up out of the captivity of those that had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and that returned unto Jerusalem and to Judah, every one unto his city;

jps@Nehemiah:7:50 @ the children of Reaiah, the children of Rezin, the children of Nekoda;

jps@Nehemiah:7:60 @ All the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants, were three hundred ninety and two.

jps@Nehemiah:7:67 @ beside their men-servants and their maid-servants, of whom there were seven thousand three hundred thirty and seven; and they had two hundred forty and five singing men and singing women.

jps@Nehemiah:7:70 @ And some from among the heads of fathers' houses gave unto the work. The Tirshatha gave to the treasury a thousand darics of gold, fifty basins, five hundred and thirty priests' tunics.

jps@Nehemiah:7:71 @ And some of the heads of fathers' houses gave into the treasury of the work twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand and two hundred pounds of silver.

jps@Nehemiah:7:73 @ So the priests, and the Levites, and the porters, and the singers, and some of the people, and the Nethinim, and all Israel, dwelt in their cities. And when the seventh month was come, and the children of Israel were in their cities,

jps@Nehemiah:8:1 @ all the people gathered themselves together as one man into the broad place that was before the water gate; and they spoke unto Ezra the scribe to bring the book of the Law of Moses, which the LORD had commanded to Israel.

jps@Nehemiah:8:2 @ And Ezra the priest brought the Law before the congregation, both men and women, and all that could hear with understanding, upon the first day of the seventh month.

jps@Nehemiah:8:3 @ And he read therein before the broad place that was before the water gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of the men and the women, and of those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the Law.

jps@Nehemiah:8:5 @ And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people--for he was above all the people--and when he opened it, all the people stood up.

jps@Nehemiah:8:6 @ And Ezra blessed the LORD, the great God. And all the people answered: 'Amen, Amen', with the lifting up of their hands; and they bowed their heads, and fell down before the LORD with their faces to the ground.

jps@Nehemiah:8:7 @ Also Jeshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, even the Levites, caused the people to understand the Law; and the people stood in their place.

jps@Nehemiah:8:8 @ And they read in the book, in the Law of God, distinctly; and they gave the sense, and caused them to understand the reading.

jps@Nehemiah:8:10 @ Then he said unto them: 'Go your way, eat the fat, and drink the sweet, and send portions unto him for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy unto our Lord; neither be ye grieved; for the joy of the LORD is your strength.'

jps@Nehemiah:8:11 @ So the Levites stilled all the people, saying: 'Hold your peace, for the day is holy; neither be ye grieved.'

jps@Nehemiah:8:12 @ And all the people went their way to eat, and to drink, and to send portions, and to make great mirth, because they had understood the words that were declared unto them.

jps@Nehemiah:8:14 @ And they found written in the Law, how that the LORD had commanded by Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths in the feast of the seventh month;

jps@Nehemiah:8:15 @ and that they should publish and proclaim in all their cities, and in Jerusalem, saying: 'Go forth unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and branches of wild olive, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is written.'

jps@Nehemiah:8:17 @ And all the congregation of them that were come back out of the captivity made booths, and dwelt in the booths; for since the days of Joshua the son of Nun unto that day had not the children of Israel done so. And there was very great gladness.

jps@Nehemiah:8:18 @ Also day by day, from the first day unto the last day, he read in the book of the Law of God. And they kept the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according unto the ordinance.

jps@Nehemiah:9:3 @ And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the Law of the LORD their God a fourth part of the day; and another fourth part they confessed, and prostrated themselves before the LORD their God.

jps@Nehemiah:13:6 @ But in all this time I was not at Jerusalem; for in the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I went unto the king, and after certain days asked I leave of the king;

jps@Nehemiah:13:7 @ and I came to Jerusalem, and understood the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.

jps@Nehemiah:13:10 @ And I perceived that the portions of the Levites had not been given them; so that the Levites and the singers, that did the work, were fled every one to his field.

jps@Nehemiah:13:11 @ Then contended I with the rulers, and said: 'Why is the house of God forsaken?' And I gathered them together, and set them in their place.

jps@Nehemiah:13:14 @ Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds that I have done for the house of my God, and for the wards thereof.

jps@Nehemiah:13:16 @ There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, who brought in fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.

jps@Nehemiah:13:18 @ Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city? yet ye bring more wrath upon Israel by profaning the sabbath.'

jps@Nehemiah:13:19 @ And it came to pass that, when the gates of Jerusalem began to be dark before the sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut, and commanded that they should not be opened till after the sabbath; and some of my servants set I over the gates, that there should no burden be brought in on the sabbath day.

jps@Nehemiah:13:20 @ So the merchants and sellers of all kind of ware lodged without Jerusalem once or twice.

jps@Nehemiah:13:21 @ Then I forewarned them, and said unto them: 'Why lodge ye about the wall? if ye do so again, I will lay hands on you.' From that time forth came they no more on the sabbath.

jps@Nehemiah:13:22 @ And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the sabbath day. Remember unto me, O my God, this also, and spare me according to the greatness of Thy mercy.

jps@Nehemiah:13:26 @ Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, and he was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel; nevertheless even him did the foreign women cause to sin.

jps@Nehemiah:13:27 @ Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this great evil, to break faith with our God in marrying foreign women?'

jps@Nehemiah:13:28 @ And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite; therefore I chased him from me.

jps@Esther:1:1 @ NOW IT came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus--this is Ahasuerus who reigned, from India even unto Ethiopia, over a hundred and seven and twenty provinces--

jps@Esther:1:2 @ that in those days, when the king Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the castle,

jps@Esther:1:3 @ in the third year of his reign, he made a feast unto all his princes and his servants; the army of Persia and Media, the nobles and princes of the provinces, being before him;

jps@Esther:1:4 @ when he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honour of his excellent majesty, many days, even a hundred and fourscore days.

jps@Esther:1:5 @ And when these days were fulfilled, the king made a feast unto all the people that were present in Shushan the castle, both great and small, seven days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace;

jps@Esther:1:6 @ there were hangings of white, fine cotton, and blue, bordered with cords of fine linen and purple, upon silver rods and pillars of marble; the couches were of gold and silver, upon a pavement of green, and white, and shell, and onyx marble.

jps@Esther:1:7 @ And they gave them drink in vessels of gold--the vessels being diverse one from another--and royal wine in abundance, according to the bounty of the king.

jps@Esther:1:8 @ And the drinking was according to the law; none did compel; for so the king had appointed to all the officers of his house, that they should do according to every man's pleasure.

jps@Esther:1:9 @ Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the women in the royal house which belonged to king Ahasuerus.

jps@Esther:1:10 @ On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Bizzetha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven chamberlains that ministered in the presence of Ahasuerus the king,

jps@Esther:1:11 @ to bring Vashti the queen before the king with the crown royal, to show the peoples and the princes her beauty; for she was fair to look on.

jps@Esther:1:12 @ But the queen Vashti refused to come at the king's commandment by the chamberlains; therefore was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him.

jps@Esther:1:13 @ Then the king said to the wise men, who knew the times--for so was the king's manner toward all that knew law and judgment;

jps@Esther:1:14 @ and the next unto him was Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media, who saw the king's face, and sat the first in the kingdom:

jps@Esther:1:15 @ 'What shall we do unto the queen Vashti according to law, forasmuch as she hath not done the bidding of the king Ahasuerus by the chamberlains?'

jps@Esther:1:16 @ And Memucan answered before the king and the princes: 'Vashti the queen hath not done wrong to the king only, but also to all the princes, and to all the peoples, that are in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus.

jps@Esther:1:17 @ For this deed of the queen will come abroad unto all women, to make their husbands contemptible in their eyes, when it will be said: The king Ahasuerus commanded Vashti the queen to be brought in before him, but she came not.

jps@Esther:1:18 @ And this day will the princesses of Persia and Media who have heard of the deed of the queen say the like unto all the king's princes. So will there arise enough contempt and wrath.

jps@Esther:1:19 @ If it please the king, let there go forth a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, that Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus, and that the king give her royal estate unto another that is better than she.

jps@Esther:1:20 @ And when the king's decree which he shall make shall be published throughout all his kingdom, great though it be, all the wives will give to their husbands honour, both to great and small.'

jps@Esther:1:21 @ And the word pleased the king and the princes; and the king did according to the word of Memucan;

jps@Esther:1:22 @ for he sent letters into all the king's provinces, into every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, that every man should bear rule in his own house, and speak according to the language of his people.

jps@Esther:2:1 @ After these things, when the wrath of king Ahasuerus was assuaged, he remembered Vashti, and what she had done, and what was decreed against her.

jps@Esther:2:2 @ Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him: 'Let there be sought for the king young virgins fair to look on;

jps@Esther:2:3 @ and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather together all the fair young virgins unto Shushan the castle, to the house of the women, unto the custody of Hegai the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women; and let their ointments be given them;

jps@Esther:2:4 @ and let the maiden that pleaseth the king be queen instead of Vashti.' And the thing pleased the king; and he did so.

jps@Esther:2:5 @ There was a certain Jew in Shushan the castle, whose name was Mordecai the son of Jair the son of Shimei the son of Kish, a Benjamite,

jps@Esther:2:6 @ who had been carried away from Jerusalem with the captives that had been carried away with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away.

jps@Esther:2:8 @ So it came to pass, when the king's commandment and his decree was published, and when many maidens were gathered together unto Shushan the castle, to the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken into the king's house, to the custody of Hegai, keeper of the women.

jps@Esther:2:9 @ And the maiden pleased him, and she obtained kindness of him; and he speedily gave her her ointments, with her portions, and the seven maidens, who were meet to be given her out of the king's house; and he advanced her and her maidens to the best place in the house of the women.

jps@Esther:2:10 @ Esther had not made known her people nor her kindred; for Mordecai had charged her that she should not tell it.

jps@Esther:2:12 @ Now when the turn of every maiden was come to go in to king Ahasuerus, after that it had been done to her according to the law for the women, twelve months--for so were the days of their anointing accomplished, to wit, six months with oil of myrrh, and six month with sweet odours, and with other ointments of the women--

jps@Esther:2:13 @ when then the maiden came unto the king, whatsoever she desired was given her to go with her out of the house of the women unto the king's house.

jps@Esther:2:14 @ In the evening she went, and on the morrow she returned into the second house of the women, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's chamberlain, who kept the concubines; she came in unto the king no more, except the king delighted in her, and she were called by name.

jps@Esther:2:15 @ Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her for his daughter, was come to go in unto the king, she required nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain, the keeper of the women, appointed. And Esther obtained favour in the sight of all them that looked upon her.

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:2:19 @ And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, and Mordecai sat in the king's gate--

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:2:22 @ And the thing became known to Mordecai, who told it unto Esther the queen; and Esther told the king thereof in Mordecai's name.

jps@Esther:2:23 @ And when inquisition was made of the matter, and it was found to be so, they were both hanged on a tree; and it was written in the book of the chronicles before the king.

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:3:2 @ And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed down, and prostrated themselves before Haman; for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not down, nor prostrated himself before him.

jps@Esther:3:3 @ Then the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, said unto Mordecai: 'Why transgressest thou the king's commandment?'

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:3:8 @ And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus: 'There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from those of every people; neither keep they the king's laws; therefore it profiteth not the king to suffer them.

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:3:10 @ And the king took his ring from his hand, and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the Jews' enemy.

jps@Esther:3:11 @ And the king said unto Haman: 'The silver is given to thee, the people also, to do with them as it seemeth good to thee.'

jps@Esther:3:12 @ Then were the king's scribes called in the first month, on the thirteenth day thereof, and there was written, according to all that Haman commanded, unto the king's satraps, and to the governors that were over every province, and to the princes of every people; to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language; in the name of king Ahasuerus was it written, and it was sealed with the king's ring.

jps@Esther:3:13 @ And letters were sent by posts into all the king's provinces, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, even upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to take the spoil of them for a prey.

jps@Esther:3:14 @ The copy of the writing, to be given out for a decree in every province, was to be published unto all peoples, that they should be ready against that day.

jps@Esther:3:15 @ The posts went forth in haste by the king's commandment, and the decree was given out in Shushan the castle; and the king and Haman sat down to drink; but the city of Shushan was perplexed.

jps@Esther:4:1 @ Now when Mordecai knew all that was done, Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on sackcloth with ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry;

jps@Esther:4:2 @ and he came even before the king's gate; for none might enter within the king's gate clothed with sackcloth.

jps@Esther:4:3 @ And in every province, whithersoever the king's commandment and his decree came, there was great mourning among the Jews, and fasting, and weeping, and wailing; and many lay in sackcloth and ashes.

jps@Esther:4:4 @ And Esther's maidens and her chamberlains came and told it her; and the queen was exceedingly pained; and she sent raiment to clothe Mordecai; and to take his sackcloth from off him; but he accepted it not.

jps@Esther:4:5 @ Then called Esther for Hathach, one of the king's chamberlains, whom he had appointed to attend upon her, and charged him to go to Mordecai, to know what this was, and why it was.

jps@Esther:4:6 @ So Hathach went forth to Mordecai unto the broad place of the city, which was before the king's gate.

jps@Esther:4:7 @ And Mordecai told him of all that had happened unto him, and the exact sum of the money that Haman had promised to pay to the king's treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them.

jps@Esther:4:8 @ Also he gave him the copy of the writing of the decree that was given out in Shushan to destroy them, to show it unto Esther, and to declare it unto her; and to charge her that she should go in unto the king, to make supplication unto him, and to make request before him, for her people.

jps@Esther:4:11 @ 'All the king's servants, and the people of the king's provinces, do know, that whosoever, whether man or woman, shall come unto the king into the inner court, who is not called, there is one law for him, that he be put to death, except such to whom the king shall hold out the golden sceptre, that he may live; but I have not been called to come in unto the king these thirty days.'

jps@Esther:4:13 @ Then Mordecai bade them to return answer unto Esther: 'Think not with thyself that thou shalt escape in the king's house, more than all the Jews.

jps@Esther:4:16 @ 'Go, gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day; I also and my maidens will fast in like manner; and so will I go in unto the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish.'

jps@Esther:4:17 @ So Mordecai went his way, and did according to all that Esther had commanded him.

jps@Esther:5:1 @ Now it came to pass on the third day, that Esther put on her royal apparel, and stood in the inner court of the king's house, over against the king's house; and the king sat upon his royal throne in the royal house, over against the entrance of the house.

jps@Esther:5:2 @ And it was so, when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, that she obtained favour in his sight; and the king held out to Esther the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther drew near, and touched the top of the sceptre.

jps@Esther:5:3 @ Then said the king unto her: 'What wilt thou, queen Esther? for whatever thy request, even to the half of the kingdom, it shall be given thee.'

jps@Esther:5:4 @ And Esther said: 'If it seem good unto the king, let the king and Haman come this day unto the banquet that I have prepared for him.'

jps@Esther:5:5 @ Then the king said: 'Cause Haman to make haste, that it may be done as Esther hath said.' So the king and Haman came to the banquet that Esther had prepared.

jps@Esther:5:6 @ And the king said unto Esther at the banquet of wine: 'Whatever thy petition, it shall be granted thee; and whatever thy request, even to the half of the kingdom, it shall be performed.'

jps@Esther:5:8 @ if I have found favour in the sight of the king, and if it please the king to grant my petition, and to perform my request--let the king and Haman come to the banquet that I shall prepare for them, and I will do to-morrow as the king hath said.'

jps@Esther:5:9 @ Then went Haman forth that day joyful and glad of heart; but when Haman saw Mordecai in the king's gate, that he stood not up, nor moved for him, Haman was filled with wrath against Mordecai.

jps@Esther:5:10 @ Nevertheless Haman refrained himself, and went home; and he sent and fetched his friends and Zeresh his wife.

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:5:12 @ Haman said moreover: 'Yea, Esther the queen did let no man come in with the king unto the banquet that she had prepared but myself; and to-morrow also am I invited by her together with the king.

jps@Esther:5:13 @ Yet all this availeth me nothing, so long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate.'

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.' And the thing pleased Haman; and he caused the gallows to be made.

jps@Esther:6:1 @ On that night could not the king sleep; and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles, and they were read before the king.

jps@Esther:6:2 @ And it was found written, that Mordecai had told of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's chamberlains, of those that kept the door, who had sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus.

jps@Esther:6:3 @ And the king said: 'What honour and dignity hath been done to Mordecai for this?' Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him: 'There is nothing done for him.'

jps@Esther:6:4 @ And the king said: 'Who is in the court?'--Now Haman was come into the outer court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.--

jps@Esther:6:5 @ And the king's servants said unto him: 'Behold, Haman standeth in the court.' And the king said: 'Let him come in.'

jps@Esther:6:6 @ So Haman came in. And the king said unto him: 'What shall be done unto the man whom the king delighteth to honour?'--Now Haman said in his heart: 'Whom would the king delight to honour besides myself?'--

jps@Esther:6:7 @ And Haman said unto the king: 'For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,

jps@Esther:6:8 @ let royal apparel be brought which the king useth to wear, and the horse that the king rideth upon, and on whose head a crown royal is set;

jps@Esther:6:9 @ and let the apparel and the horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that they may array the man therewith whom the king delighteth to honour, and cause him to ride on horseback through the street of the city, and proclaim before him: Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delighteth to honour.'

jps@Esther:6:10 @ Then the king said to Haman: 'Make haste, and take the apparel and the horse, as thou hast said, and do even so to Mordecai the Jew, that sitteth at the king's gate; let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.'

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:6:12 @ And Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hasted to his house, mourning and having his head covered.

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:6:14 @ While they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hastened to bring Haman unto the banquet that Esther had prepared.

jps@Esther:7:1 @ So the king and Haman came to banquet with Esther the queen.

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:7:3 @ Then Esther the queen answered and said: 'If I have found favour in thy sight, O king, and if it please the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request;

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:7:5 @ Then spoke the king Ahasuerus and said unto Esther the queen: 'Who is he, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart to do so?'

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:8:2 @ And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.

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:8:7 @ Then the king Ahasuerus said unto Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew: 'Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged upon the gallows, because he laid his hand upon the Jews.

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:8:14 @ So the posts that rode upon swift steeds that were used in the king's service went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king's commandment; and the decree was given out in Shushan the castle.

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:9:4 @ 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:9:6 @ And in Shushan the castle the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.

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:9:12 @ And the king said unto Esther the queen: 'The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the castle, and the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces!

jps@Esther:9:13 @ Then said Esther: 'If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews that are in Shushan to do to-morrow also according unto this day's decree, and let Haman's ten sons be hanged upon the gallows.'

jps@Esther:9:14 @ And the king commanded it so to be done; and a decree was given out in Shushan; and they hanged Haman's ten sons.

jps@Esther:9:15 @ And the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men in Shushan; but on the spoil they laid not their hand.

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:9:17 @ on the thirteenth day of the month Adar, and on the fourteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

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@Job:7:20 @ If I have sinned, what do I unto Thee, O Thou watcher of men? Why hast Thou set me as a mark for Thee, so that I am a burden to myself?

jps@Job:7:21 @ And why dost Thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? For now shall I lie down in the dust; and Thou wilt seek me, but I shall not be.

jps@Job:8:2 @ How long wilt thou speak these things, seeing that the words of thy mouth are as a mighty wind?

jps@Job:8:4 @ If thy children sinned against Him, He delivered them into the hand of their transgression.

jps@Job:8:7 @ And though thy beginning was small, yet thy end should greatly increase.

jps@Job:8:8 @ For inquire, I pray thee, of the former generation, and apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out--

jps@Job:8:9 @ For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow--

jps@Job:8:12 @ Whilst it is yet in its greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.

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

jps@Job:8:20 @ Behold, God will not cast away an innocent man, neither will He uphold the evil-doers;

jps@Job:8:21 @ Till He fill thy mouth with laughter, and thy lips with shouting.

jps@Job:9:4 @ He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength; who hath hardened himself against Him, and prospered?

jps@Job:9:5 @ Who removeth the mountains, and they know it not, when He overturneth them in His anger.

jps@Job:9:10 @ Who doeth great things past finding out; yea, marvellous things without number.

jps@Job:9:12 @ Behold, He snatcheth away, who can hinder Him? Who will say unto Him: 'What doest Thou?'

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:9:20 @ Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me; though I be innocent, He shall prove me perverse.

jps@Job:9:21 @ I am innocent--I regard not myself, I despise my life.

jps@Job:9:22 @ It is all one--therefore I say: He destroyeth the innocent and the wicked.

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:9:29 @ I shall be condemned; why then do I labour in vain?

jps@Job:9:31 @ Yet wilt Thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.

jps@Job:9:32 @ For He is not a man, as I am, that I should answer Him, that we should come together in judgment.

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:10:6 @ That Thou inquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin,

jps@Job:10:9 @ Remember, I beseech Thee, that Thou hast fashioned me as clay; and wilt Thou bring me into dust again?

jps@Job:10:11 @ Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.

jps@Job:10:13 @ Yet these things Thou didst hide in Thy heart; I know that this is with Thee;

jps@Job:10:14 @ If I sin, then Thou markest me, and Thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.

jps@Job:10:15 @ If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head--being filled with ignominy and looking upon mine affliction.

jps@Job:10:16 @ And if it exalt itself, Thou huntest me as a lion; and again Thou showest Thyself marvellous upon me.

jps@Job:10:17 @ Thou renewest Thy witnesses against me, and increasest Thine indignation upon me; host succeeding host against me.

jps@Job:11:3 @ Thy boastings have made men hold their peace, and thou hast mocked, with none to make thee ashamed;

jps@Job:11:4 @ And thou hast said: 'My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in Thine eyes.'

jps@Job:11:5 @ But oh that God would speak, and open His lips against thee;

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:11:10 @ If He pass by, and shut up, or gather in, then who can hinder Him?

jps@Job:11:11 @ For He knoweth base men; and when He seeth iniquity, will He not then consider it?

jps@Job:11:12 @ But an empty man will get understanding, when a wild ass's colt is born a man.

jps@Job:11:14 @ If iniquity be in thy hand, put it far away, and let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents--

jps@Job:11:17 @ And thy life shall be clearer than the noonday; though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.

jps@Job:11:18 @ And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt look about thee, and shalt take thy rest in safety.

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:12:3 @ But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you; yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

jps@Job:12:4 @ I am as one that is a laughing-stock to his neighbour, a man that called upon God, and He answered him; the just, the innocent man is a laughing-stock,

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:12:10 @ 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:12:13 @ With Him is wisdom and might; He hath counsel and understanding.

jps@Job:12:14 @ Behold, He breaketh down, and it cannot be built again; He shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

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

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:12:23 @ He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them; He enlargeth the nations, and leadeth them away.

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:12:25 @ They grope in the dark without light, and He maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.

jps@Job:13:1 @ Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.

jps@Job:13:2 @ What ye know, do I know also; I am not inferior unto you.

jps@Job:13:3 @ Notwithstanding I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.

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:13:14 @ Wherefore? I will take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand.

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

jps@Job:13:17 @ Hear diligently my speech, and let my declaration be in your ears.

jps@Job:13:20 @ Only do not two things unto me, then will I not hide myself from Thee:

jps@Job:13:23 @ How many are mine iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.

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

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:13:28 @ Though I am like a wine-skin that consumeth, like a garment that is moth-eaten.

jps@Job:14:2 @ He cometh forth like a flower, and withereth; he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

jps@Job:14:3 @ And dost Thou open Thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with Thee?

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:14:6 @ Look away from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.

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:14:11 @ As the waters fail from the sea, and the river is drained dry;

jps@Job:14:13 @ Oh that Thou wouldest hide me in the nether-world, that Thou wouldest keep me secret, until Thy wrath be past, that Thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!--

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:14:16 @ But now Thou numberest my steps, Thou dost not even wait for my sin;

jps@Job:14:17 @ My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and Thou heapest up mine iniquity.

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:14:20 @ Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth; Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.

jps@Job:15:2 @ Should a wise man make answer with windy knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?

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

jps@Job:15:6 @ Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; yea, thine own lips testify against thee.

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

jps@Job:15:9 @ What knowest thou, that we know not? What understandest thou, which is not in us?

jps@Job:15:12 @ Why doth thy heart carry thee away? And why do thine eyes wink?

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

jps@Job:15:15 @ Behold, He putteth no trust in His holy ones; yea, the heavens are not clean in His sight.

jps@Job:15:16 @ How much less one that is abominable and impure, man who drinketh iniquity like water!

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:15:24 @ Distress and anguish overwhelm him; they prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.

jps@Job:15:25 @ Because he hath stretched out his hand against God, and behaveth himself proudly against the Almighty;

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

jps@Job:15:28 @ And he hath dwelt in desolate cities, in houses which no man would inhabit, which were ready to become heaps.

jps@Job:15:29 @ He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall their produce bend to the earth.

jps@Job:15:31 @ Let him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself; for vanity shall be his recompense.

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:15:35 @ They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity, and their belly prepareth deceit.

jps@Job:16:2 @ I have heard many such things; sorry comforters are ye all.

jps@Job:16:3 @ Shall windy words have an end? Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?

jps@Job:16:4 @ I also could speak as ye do; if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you.

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

jps@Job:16:6 @ Though I speak, my pain is not assuaged; and though I forbear, what am I eased?

jps@Job:16:8 @ And Thou hast shrivelled me up, which is a witness against me; and my leanness riseth up against me, it testifieth to my face.

jps@Job:16:9 @ He hath torn me in His wrath, and hated me; He hath gnashed upon me with His teeth; mine adversary sharpeneth his eyes upon me.

jps@Job:16:10 @ They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek scornfully; they gather themselves together against me.

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

jps@Job:16:13 @ His archers compass me round about, He cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; He poureth out my gall upon the ground.

jps@Job:16:15 @ I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and have laid my horn in the dust.

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

jps@Job:16:17 @ Although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.

jps@Job:16:18 @ O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no resting-place.

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

jps@Job:16:20 @ Mine inward thoughts are my intercessors, mine eye poureth out tears unto God;

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:16:22 @ For the years that are few are coming on, and I shall go the way whence I shall not return.

jps@Job:17:1 @ My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, the grave is ready for me.

jps@Job:17:2 @ Surely there are mockers with me, and mine eye abideth in their provocation.

jps@Job:17:4 @ For Thou hast hid their heart from understanding; therefore shalt Thou not exalt them.

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:17:8 @ Upright men are astonished at this, and the innocent stirreth up himself against the godless.

jps@Job:17:10 @ But as for you all, do ye return, and come now; and I shall not find a wise man among you.

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

jps@Job:17:13 @ If I look for the nether-world as my house; if I have spread my couch in the 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:18:3 @ Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed dull in your sight?

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:18:6 @ The light shall be dark in his tent, and his lamp over him shall be put out.

jps@Job:18:8 @ For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon the toils.

jps@Job:18:9 @ A gin shall take him by the heel, and a snare shall lay hold on him.

jps@Job:18:10 @ A noose is hid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.

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:18:19 @ He shall have neither son nor son's son among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.

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:19:4 @ And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.

jps@Job:19:5 @ If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach;

jps@Job:19:8 @ He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and hath set darkness in my paths.

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:19:12 @ His troops come on together, and cast up their way against me, and encamp round about my tent.

jps@Job:19:13 @ He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me.

jps@Job:19:14 @ My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.

jps@Job:19:15 @ They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger; I am become an alien in their sight.

jps@Job:19:18 @ Even urchins despised me; if I arise, they speak against me.

jps@Job:19:19 @ All my intimate friends abhor me; and they whom I loved are turned against me.

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:19:23 @ Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!

jps@Job:19:24 @ That with an iron pen and lead they were graven in the rock for ever!

jps@Job:19:26 @ And when after my skin this is destroyed, then without my flesh shall I see God;

jps@Job:19:27 @ Whom I, even I, shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another's. My reins are consumed within 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:20:11 @ His bones are full of his youth, but it shall lie down with him in the dust.

jps@Job:20:12 @ Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;

jps@Job:20:13 @ Though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth;

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

jps@Job:20:18 @ That which he laboured for shall he give back, and shall not swallow it down; according to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.

jps@Job:20:20 @ Because he knew no quietness within him, in his greed he suffered nought to escape,

jps@Job:20:21 @ There was nothing left that he devoured not--therefore his prosperity shall not endure.

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:20:25 @ 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:20:26 @ All darkness is laid up for his treasures; a fire not blown by man shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tent.

jps@Job:20:27 @ The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against 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:21:4 @ As for me, is my complaint to man? Or why should I not be impatient?

jps@Job:21:7 @ Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, wax mighty in power?

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

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

jps@Job:21:13 @ They spend their days in prosperity, and peacefully they go down to the grave.

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:21:18 @ That they are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm stealeth away?

jps@Job:21:19 @ 'God layeth up his iniquity for his children!'--let Him recompense it unto himself, that he may know it.

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:21:22 @ Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing it is He that judgeth those that are high.

jps@Job:21:23 @ One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet;

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

jps@Job:21:26 @ They lie down alike in the dust, and the worm covereth them.

jps@Job:21:27 @ Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.

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:21:33 @ 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:22:3 @ Is it any advantage to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? Or is it gain to Him, that thou makest thy ways blameless?

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

jps@Job:22:5 @ Is not thy wickedness great? And are not thine iniquities without end?

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

jps@Job:22:7 @ Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

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:22:12 @ 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:22:19 @ The righteous saw it, and were glad, and the innocent laugh them to scorn:

jps@Job:22:21 @ Acquaint now thyself with Him, and be at peace; thereby shall thine increase be good.

jps@Job:22:22 @ Receive, I pray thee, instruction from His mouth, and lay up His words in thy heart.

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

jps@Job:22:26 @ Then surely shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.

jps@Job:22:28 @ Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee, and light shall shine upon thy ways.

jps@Job:22:29 @ When they cast thee down, thou shalt say: 'There is lifting up'; for the humble person He saveth.

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:23:3 @ Oh that I knew where I might find Him, that I might come even to His seat!

jps@Job:23:6 @ Would He contend with me in His great power? Nay; but He would give heed unto me.

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

jps@Job:23:16 @ Yea, God hath made my heart faint, and the Almighty hath affrighted me;

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

jps@Job:24:7 @ They lie all night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold.

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

jps@Job:24:10 @ So that they go about naked without clothing, and being hungry they carry the sheaves;

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:24:14 @ The murderer riseth with the light, to kill the poor and needy; and in the night he is as a thief.

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:24:16 @ In the dark they dig through houses; they shut themselves up in the day-time; they know not the light.

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:24:19 @ Drought and heat consume the snow waters; so doth the nether-world those that have sinned.

jps@Job:24:23 @ Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth, yet His eyes are upon their ways.

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:24:25 @ And if it be not so now, who will prove me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

jps@Job:25:2 @ Dominion and fear are with Him; He maketh peace in His high places.

jps@Job:25:5 @ Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, and the stars are not pure in His sight;

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

jps@Job:26:6 @ The nether-world is naked before Him, and Destruction hath no covering.

jps@Job:26:7 @ He stretcheth out the north over the empty space, and hangeth the earth over nothing.

jps@Job:26:8 @ He bindeth up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

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:26:12 @ He stirreth up the sea with His power, and by His understanding He smiteth through Rahab.

jps@Job:27:1 @ And Job again took up his parable, and said:

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

jps@Job:27:5 @ Far be it from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.

jps@Job:27:7 @ Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous.

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:27:10 @ Will he have his delight in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?

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:27:12 @ Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye become altogether vain?

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:27:17 @ He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.

jps@Job:27:20 @ Terrors overtake him like waters; a tempest stealeth him away in the night.

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

jps@Job:27:22 @ Yea, it hurleth at him, and spareth not; he would fain flee from its power.

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

jps@Job:28:10 @ He cutteth out channels among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.

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:28:12 @ 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:28:14 @ The deep saith: 'It is not in me'; and the sea saith: 'It is not with me.'

jps@Job:28:17 @ Gold and glass cannot equal it; neither shall the exchange thereof be vessels of fine 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:28:25 @ 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: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:29:1 @ And Job again took up his parable, and said:

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:29:3 @ When His lamp shined above my head, and by His light I walked through darkness;

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

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

jps@Job:29:9 @ The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on 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:29:15 @ I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.

jps@Job:29:20 @ My glory shall be fresh in me, and my bow shall be renewed in my hand.'

jps@Job:29:22 @ After my words they spoke not again; and my speech dropped upon them.

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:30:1 @ 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:30:6 @ In the clefts of the valleys must they dwell, in holes of the earth and of the rocks.

jps@Job:30:10 @ They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.

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:30:15 @ Terrors are turned upon me, they chase mine honour as the wind; and my welfare is passed away as a cloud.

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

jps@Job:30:17 @ In the night my bones are pierced, and fall from me, and my sinews take no rest.

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:30:19 @ He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.

jps@Job:30:22 @ Thou liftest me up to the wind, Thou causest me to ride upon it; and Thou dissolvest my substance.

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

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

jps@Job:30:30 @ My skin is black, and falleth from me, and my bones are burned with heat.

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

jps@Job:31:1 @ I made a covenant with mine eyes; how then should I look upon a maid?

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

jps@Job:31:6 @ Let me be weighed in a just balance, that God may know mine integrity--

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:31:9 @ If my heart have been enticed unto a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbour's door;

jps@Job:31:10 @ Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.

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:31:15 @ Did not He that made me in the womb make him? And did not One fashion us in the womb?

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:31:21 @ If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, because I saw my help in the gate;

jps@Job:31:22 @ Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.

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:31:24 @ If I have made gold my hope, and have said to the fine gold: 'Thou art my confidence';

jps@Job:31:26 @ If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;

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:31:30 @ Yea, I suffered not my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse.

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:31:32 @ The stranger did not lodge in the street; my doors I opened to the roadside.

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

jps@Job:31:35 @ Oh that I had one to hear me!--Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me--and that I had the indictment which mine adversary hath written!

jps@Job:31:36 @ Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder; I would bind it unto me as a crown.

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:32:1 @ So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

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:32:3 @ Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

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

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

jps@Job:32:12 @ Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none that convinced Job, or that answered his words, among you.

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

jps@Job:32:17 @ I also will answer my part, I also will declare mine opinion.

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

jps@Job:32:19 @ Behold, mine inwards are as wine which hath no vent; like new wine-skins which are ready to burst.

jps@Job:32:20 @ I will speak, that I may find relief; I will open my lips and answer.

jps@Job:32:21 @ Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.

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

jps@Job:33:2 @ Behold now, I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.

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

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

jps@Job:33:9 @ 'I am clean, without transgression, I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me;

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

jps@Job:33:11 @ He putteth my feet in the stocks, He marketh all my paths.'

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

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

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

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:33:18 @ That He may keep back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

jps@Job:33:19 @ He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and all his bones grow stiff;

jps@Job:33:20 @ So that his life maketh him to abhor bread, and his soul dainty food.

jps@Job:33:21 @ His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones corrode to unsightliness.

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:33:24 @ Then He is gracious unto him, and saith: 'Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.'

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:33:28 @ So He redeemeth his soul from going into the pit, and his life beholdeth the light.

jps@Job:33:29 @ Lo, all these things doth God work, twice, yea thrice, with a man,

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

jps@Job:34:6 @ Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar; my wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.'

jps@Job:34:7 @ What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?

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

jps@Job:34:18 @ Is it fit to say to a king: 'Thou art base'? Or to nobles: 'Ye are wicked'?--

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:34:20 @ In a moment they die, even at midnight; the people are shaken and pass away, and the mighty are taken away without hand.

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

jps@Job:34:24 @ He breaketh in pieces mighty men without inquisition, and setteth others in their stead.

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:34:32 @ That which I see not teach Thou me; if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more'?

jps@Job:34:34 @ Men of understanding will say unto me, yea, every wise man that heareth me:

jps@Job:34:36 @ Would that Job were tried unto the end, because of his answering like wicked men.

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:35:3 @ That thou inquirest: 'What advantage will it be unto Thee?' And: 'What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?'

jps@Job:35:6 @ If thou hast sinned, what doest thou against Him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto Him?

jps@Job:35:10 @ But none saith: 'Where is God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night;

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:35:16 @ But Job doth open his mouth in vanity; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

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

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

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

jps@Job:36:10 @ He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.

jps@Job:36:11 @ If they hearken and serve Him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

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:36:14 @ 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:36:19 @ Will thy riches avail, that are without stint, or all the forces of thy strength?

jps@Job:36:20 @ Desire not the night, when peoples are cut off in their place.

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

jps@Job:36:22 @ Behold, God doeth loftily in His power; who is a teacher like Him?

jps@Job:36:23 @ Who hath enjoined Him His way? Or who hath said: 'Thou hast wrought unrighteousness'?

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

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

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

jps@Job:36:32 @ He covereth His hands with the lightning, and giveth it a charge that it strike the mark.

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

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

jps@Job:37:5 @ God thundereth marvellously with His voice; great things doeth He, which we cannot comprehend.

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:37:8 @ Then the beasts go into coverts, and remain in their dens.

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

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

jps@Job:37:16 @ Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge?

jps@Job:37:17 @ Thou whose garments are warm, when the earth is still by reason of the south wind;

jps@Job:37:21 @ And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.

jps@Job:37:23 @ The Almighty, whom we cannot find out, is excellent in power, yet to judgment and plenteous justice He doeth no violence.

jps@Job:38:1 @ Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:

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:38:4 @ Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast the understanding.

jps@Job:38:5 @ Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched the line upon it?

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

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

jps@Job:38:12 @ Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days began, and caused the dayspring to know its place;

jps@Job:38:16 @ Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? Or hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep?

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

jps@Job:38:23 @ Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?

jps@Job:38:24 @ By what way is the light parted, or the east wind scattered upon the earth?

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

jps@Job:38:26 @ To cause it to rain on a land where no man is, on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;

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:38:28 @ Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

jps@Job:38:31 @ Canst thou bind the chains of the Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?

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

jps@Job:38:33 @ Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? Canst thou establish the dominion thereof in the earth?

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

jps@Job:38:36 @ Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who hath given understanding to the mind?

jps@Job:38:38 @ When the dust runneth into a mass, and the clods cleave fast together?

jps@Job:38:40 @ When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?

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:39:6 @ Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the salt land his dwelling-place.

jps@Job:39:7 @ He scorneth the tumult of the city, neither heareth he the shoutings of the driver.

jps@Job:39:8 @ The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.

jps@Job:39:9 @ Will the wild-ox be willing to serve thee? Or will he abide by thy crib?

jps@Job:39:10 @ Canst thou bind the wild-ox with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

jps@Job:39:12 @ Wilt thou rely on him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather the corn of thy threshing-floor?

jps@Job:39:13 @ The wing of the ostrich beateth joyously; but are her pinions and feathers the kindly stork's?

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

jps@Job:39:16 @ She is hardened against her young ones, as if they were not hers; though her labour be in vain, she is without fear;

jps@Job:39:17 @ Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath He imparted to her understanding.

jps@Job:39:18 @ When the time cometh, she raiseth her wings on high, and scorneth the horse and his rider.

jps@Job:39:20 @ Hast thou made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is terrible.

jps@Job:39:21 @ He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength; he goeth out to meet the clash of arms.

jps@Job:39:23 @ The quiver rattleth upon him, the glittering spear and the javelin.

jps@Job:39:25 @ As oft as he heareth the horn he saith: 'Ha, ha!' and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

jps@Job:39:26 @ Doth the hawk soar by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?

jps@Job:39:30 @ Her young ones also suck up blood; and where the slain are, there is she.

jps@Job:40:5 @ Once have I spoken, but I will not answer again; yea, twice, but I will proceed no further.

jps@Job:40:6 @ Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:

jps@Ecclesiastes:1:12 @ I Koheleth have been king over Israel in Jerusalem.

jps@Ecclesiastes:1:13 @ And I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven; it is a sore task that God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.

jps@Ecclesiastes:1:14 @ I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.

jps@Ecclesiastes:1:15 @ That which is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.

jps@Ecclesiastes:1:16 @ I spoke with my own heart, saying: 'Lo, I have gotten great wisdom, more also than all that were before me over Jerusalem'; yea, my heart hath had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

jps@Ecclesiastes:1:17 @ And I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly--I perceived that this also was a striving after wind.

jps@Ecclesiastes:1:18 @ For in much wisdom is much vexation; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:1 @ I said in my heart: 'Come now, I will try thee with mirth, and enjoy pleasure'; and, behold, this also was vanity.

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @ I searched in my heart how to pamper my flesh with wine, and, my heart conducting itself with wisdom, how yet to lay hold on folly, till I might see which it was best for the sons of men that they should do under the heaven the few days of their life.

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:4 @ I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards;

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:5 @ I made me gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit;

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:6 @ I made me pools of water, to water therefrom the wood springing up with trees;

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:7 @ I acquired men-servants and maid-servants, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all that were before me in Jerusalem;

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:8 @ I gathered me also silver and gold, and treasure such as kings and the provinces have as their own; I got me men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of the sons of men, women very many.

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:9 @ So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem; also my wisdom stood me in stead.

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:10 @ And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them; I withheld not my heart from any joy, for my heart had joy of all my labour; and this was my portion from all my labour.

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:11 @ Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do; and, behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:12 @ And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness and folly; for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:14 @ The wise man, his eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness. And I also perceived that one event happeneth to them all.

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:15 @ Then said I in my heart: 'As it happeneth to the fool, so will it happen even to me; and why was I then more wise?' Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:16 @ For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no remembrance for ever; seeing that in the days to come all will long ago have been forgotten. And how must the wise man die even as the fool!

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @ So I hated life; because the work that is wrought under the sun was grievous unto me; for all is vanity and a striving after wind.

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:18 @ And I hated all my labour wherein I laboured under the sun, seeing that I must leave it unto the man that shall be after me.

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:19 @ And who knoweth whether he will be a wise man or a fool? yet will he have rule over all my labour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:20 @ Therefore I turned about to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labour wherein I had laboured under the sun.

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:21 @ For there is a man whose labour is with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skill; yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:22 @ For what hath a man of all his labour, and of the striving of his heart, wherein he laboureth under the sun?

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:23 @ For all his days are pains, and his occupation vexation; yea, even in the night his heart taketh not rest. This also is vanity.

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:24 @ There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy pleasure for his labour. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.

jps@Ecclesiastes:2:26 @ For to the man that is good in His sight He giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner He giveth the task, to gather and to heap up, that he may leave to him that is good in the sight of God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:1 @ To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:5 @ A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:9 @ What profit hath he that worketh in that he laboureth?

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:11 @ He hath made every thing beautiful in its time; also He hath set the world in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end.

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:12 @ I know that there is nothing better for them, than to rejoice, and to get pleasure so long as they live.

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:13 @ But also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy pleasure for all his labour, is the gift of God.

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:14 @ I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be for ever; nothing can be added to it, nor any thing taken from it; and God hath so made it, that men should fear before Him.

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:16 @ And moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there.

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:17 @ I said in my heart: 'The righteous and the wicked God will judge; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.'

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:18 @ I said in my heart: 'It is because of the sons of men, that God may sift them, and that they may see that they themselves are but as beasts.'

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:19 @ For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them; as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that man hath no pre-eminence above a beast; for all is vanity.

jps@Ecclesiastes:3:22 @ Wherefore I perceived that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion; for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?

jps@Ecclesiastes:4:2 @ Wherefore I praised the dead that are already dead more than the living that are yet alive;

jps@Ecclesiastes:4:4 @ Again, I considered all labour and all excelling in work, that it is a man's rivalry with his neighbour. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

jps@Ecclesiastes:4:6 @ Better is a handful of quietness, than both the hands full of labour and striving after wind.

jps@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @ There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labour, neither is his eye satisfied with riches: 'for whom then do I labour, and bereave my soul of pleasure?' This also is vanity, yea, it is a grievous business.

jps@Ecclesiastes:4:11 @ Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one be warm alone?

jps@Ecclesiastes:4:12 @ And if a man prevail against him that is alone, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

jps@Ecclesiastes:4:13 @ Better is a poor and wise child than an old and foolish king, who knoweth not how to receive admonition any more.

jps@Ecclesiastes:4:14 @ For out of prison he came forth to be king; although in his kingdom he was born poor.

jps@Ecclesiastes:4:15 @ I saw all the living that walk under the sun, that they were with the child, the second, that was to stand up in his stead.

jps@Ecclesiastes:4:16 @ There was no end of all the people, even of all them whom he did lead; yet they that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

jps@Ecclesiastes:5:2 @ Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter a word before God; for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth; therefore let thy words be few.

jps@Ecclesiastes:5:3 @ For a dream cometh through a multitude of business; and a fool's voice through a multitude of words.

jps@Ecclesiastes:5:6 @ Suffer not thy mouth to bring thy flesh into guilt, neither say thou before the messenger, that it was an error; wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?

jps@Ecclesiastes:7:2 @ It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting; for that is the end of all men, and the living will lay it to his heart.

jps@Ecclesiastes:7:4 @ The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

jps@Ecclesiastes:7:6 @ For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool; this also is vanity.

jps@Isaiah:5:5 @ And now come, I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; I will break down the fence thereof, and it shall be trodden down;

jps@Isaiah:5:6 @ And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned nor hoed, but there shall come up briers and thorns; I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.

jps@Isaiah:5:7 @ For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah the plant of His delight; and He looked for justice, but behold violence; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

jps@Isaiah:5:8 @ Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no room, and ye be made to dwell alone in the midst of the land!

jps@Isaiah:5:9 @ In mine ears said the LORD of hosts: of a truth many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.

jps@Isaiah:5:10 @ For ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of a homer shall yield an ephah.

jps@Isaiah:5:11 @ Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that tarry late into the night, till wine inflame them!

jps@Isaiah:5:12 @ And the harp and the psaltery, the tabret and the pipe, and wine, are in their feasts; but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither have they considered the operation of His hands.

jps@Isaiah:5:13 @ Therefore My people are gone into captivity, for want of knowledge; and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude are parched with thirst.

jps@Isaiah:5:17 @ Then shall the lambs feed as in their pasture, and the waste places of the fat ones shall wanderers eat.

jps@Isaiah:5:18 @ Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope,

jps@Isaiah:5:20 @ Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that change darkness into light, and light into darkness; that change bitter into sweet, and sweet into bitter!

jps@Isaiah:5:21 @ Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!

jps@Isaiah:5:22 @ Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink;

jps@Isaiah:5:24 @ Therefore as the tongue of fire devoureth the stubble, and as the chaff is consumed in the flame, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust; because they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts, and contemned the word of the Holy One of Israel.

jps@Isaiah:5:25 @ Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against His people, and He hath stretched forth His hand against them, and hath smitten them, and the hills did tremble, and their carcasses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

jps@Isaiah:5:27 @ None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken;

jps@Isaiah:5:28 @ Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind;

jps@Isaiah:5:29 @ Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions, yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and there shall be none to deliver.

jps@Isaiah:5:30 @ And they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea; and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and distress, and the light is darkened in the skies thereof.

jps@Isaiah:6:1 @ In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple.

jps@Isaiah:6:2 @ Above Him stood the seraphim; each one had six wings: with twain he covered his face and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.

jps@Isaiah:6:5 @ Then said I: Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for mine eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts.

jps@Isaiah:6:6 @ Then flew unto me one of the seraphim, with a glowing stone in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar;

jps@Isaiah:6:7 @ and he touched my mouth with it, and said: Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin expiated.

jps@Isaiah:6:8 @ And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said: 'Here am I; send me.'

jps@Isaiah:6:9 @ And He said: 'Go, and tell this people: hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.

jps@Isaiah:6:10 @ Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they, seeing with their eyes, and hearing with their ears, and understanding with their heart, return, and be healed.'

jps@Isaiah:6:11 @ Then said I: 'Lord, how long?' And He answered: 'Until cities be waste without inhabitant, and houses without man, and the land become utterly waste,

jps@Isaiah:6:12 @ And the LORD have removed men far away, and the forsaken places be many in the midst of the land.

jps@Isaiah:6:13 @ And if there be yet a tenth in it, it shall again be eaten up; as a terebinth, and as an oak, whose stock remaineth, when they cast their leaves, so the holy seed shall be the stock thereof.'

jps@Isaiah:7:1 @ And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin the king of Aram, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to war against it; but could not prevail against it.

jps@Isaiah:7:2 @ And it was told the house of David, saying: 'Aram is confederate with Ephraim.' And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are moved with the wind.

jps@Isaiah:7:3 @ Then said the LORD unto Isaiah: 'Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, in the highway of the fullers' field;

jps@Isaiah:7:4 @ and say unto him: Keep calm, and be quiet; fear not, neither let thy heart be faint, because of these two tails of smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram, and of the son of Remaliah.

jps@Isaiah:7:5 @ Because Aram hath counselled evil against thee, Ephraim also, and the son of Remaliah, saying:

jps@Isaiah:7:6 @ Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set up a king in the midst of it, even the son of Tabeel;

jps@Isaiah:7:8 @ For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people;

jps@Isaiah:7:10 @ And the LORD spoke again unto Ahaz, saying:

jps@Isaiah:7:11 @ 'Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God: ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.'

jps@Isaiah:7:13 @ And he said: 'Hear ye now, O house of David: Is it a small thing for you to weary men, that ye will weary my God also?

jps@Isaiah:7:16 @ Yea, before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land whose two kings thou hast a horror of shall be forsaken.

jps@Isaiah:7:17 @ The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father's house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.'

jps@Isaiah:7:18 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall hiss for the fly that is in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

jps@Isaiah:7:19 @ And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the rugged valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all brambles.

jps@Isaiah:7:20 @ In that day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired in the parts beyond the River, even with the king of Assyria, the head and the hair of the feet; and it shall also sweep away the beard.

jps@Isaiah:7:21 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, that a man shall rear a young cow, and two sheep;

jps@Isaiah:7:22 @ and it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk that they shall give, he shall eat curd; for curd and honey shall every one eat that is left in the midst of the land.

jps@Isaiah:7:23 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, shall even be for briers and thorns.

jps@Isaiah:7:25 @ And all the hills that were digged with the mattock, thou shalt not come thither for fear of briers and thorns, but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of sheep.

jps@Isaiah:8:1 @ And the LORD said unto me: 'Take thee a great tablet, and write upon it in common script: The spoil speedeth, the prey hasteth;

jps@Isaiah:8:4 @ For before the child shall have knowledge to cry: My father, and: My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoil of Samaria shall be carried away before the king of Assyria.'

jps@Isaiah:8:5 @ And the LORD spoke unto me yet again, saying:

jps@Isaiah:8:6 @ Forasmuch as this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah that go softly, and rejoiceth with Rezin and Remaliah's son;

jps@Isaiah:8:7 @ Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the River, mighty and many, even the king of Assyria and all his glory; and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks;

jps@Isaiah:8:8 @ And he shall sweep through Judah overflowing as he passeth through he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.

jps@Isaiah:8:9 @ Make an uproar, O ye peoples, and ye shall be broken in pieces; and give ear, all ye of far countries; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces; gird yourselves, and ye shall be broken in pieces.

jps@Isaiah:8:11 @ For the LORD spoke thus to me with a strong hand, admonishing me that I should not walk in the way of this people, saying:

jps@Isaiah:8:12 @ 'Say ye not: A conspiracy, concerning all whereof this people do say: A conspiracy; neither fear ye their fear, nor account it dreadful.

jps@Isaiah:8:14 @ And He shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offence to both the houses of Israel, for a gin and for a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

jps@Isaiah:8:16 @ 'Bind up the testimony, seal the instruction among My disciples.'

jps@Isaiah:8:18 @ Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me shall be for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwelleth in mount Zion.

jps@Isaiah:8:19 @ And when they shall say unto you: 'Seek unto the ghosts and the familiar spirits, that chirp and that mutter; should not a people seek unto their God? on behalf of the living unto the dead

jps@Isaiah:8:20 @ for instruction and for testimony?'--Surely they will speak according to this word, wherein there is no light.--

jps@Isaiah:8:21 @ And they shall pass this way that are sore bestead and hungry; and it shall come to pass that, when they shall be hungry, they shall fret themselves, and curse by their king and by their God, and, whether they turn their faces upward,

jps@Isaiah:9:1 @ For is there no gloom to her that was stedfast? Now the former hath lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but the latter hath dealt a more grievous blow by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, in the district of the nations.

jps@Isaiah:9:2 @ The people that walked in darkness have seen a great light; they that dwelt in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined.

jps@Isaiah:9:3 @ Thou hast multiplied the nation, Thou hast increased their joy; they joy before Thee according to the joy in harvest, as men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

jps@Isaiah:9:9 @ And all the people shall know, even Ephraim and the inhabitant of Samaria, that say in pride and in arrogancy of heart:

jps@Isaiah:9:10 @ 'The bricks are fallen, but we will build with hewn stones; the sycamores are cut down, but cedars will we put in their place.'

jps@Isaiah:53:10 @ Yet it pleased the LORD to crush him by disease; to see if his soul would offer itself in restitution, that he might see his seed, prolong his days, and that the purpose of the LORD might prosper by his hand:

jps@Isaiah:53:11 @ Of the travail of his soul he shall see to the full, even My servant, who by his knowledge did justify the Righteous One to the many, and their iniquities he did bear.

jps@Isaiah:53:12 @ Therefore will I divide him a portion among the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the mighty; because he bared his soul unto death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

jps@Isaiah:55:12 @ For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

jps@Isaiah:55:13 @ Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle; and it shall be to the LORD for a memorial, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.

jps@Isaiah:57:11 @ And of whom hast thou been afraid and in fear, that thou wouldest fail? And as for Me, thou hast not remembered Me, nor laid it to thy heart. Have not I held My peace even of long time? Therefore thou fearest Me not.

jps@Isaiah:57:13 @ When thou criest, let them that thou hast gathered deliver thee; but the wind shall carry them all away, a breath shall bear them off; but he that taketh refuge in Me shall possess the land, and shall inherit My holy mountain.

jps@Isaiah:57:14 @ And He will say: cast ye up, cast ye up, clear the way, take up the stumblingblock out of the way of My people.

jps@Isaiah:59:2 @ But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid His face from you, that He will not hear.

jps@Isaiah:59:3 @ For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue muttereth wickedness.

jps@Jeremiah:4:6 @ Set up a standard toward Zion; put yourselves under covert, stay not; for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.

jps@Jeremiah:4:7 @ A lion is gone up from his thicket, and a destroyer of nations is set out, gone forth from his place; to make thy land desolate, that thy cities be laid waste, without inhabitant.

jps@Jeremiah:4:20 @ Destruction followeth upon destruction, for the whole land is spoiled; suddenly are my tents spoiled, my curtains in a moment.

jps@Jeremiah:4:22 @ For My people is foolish, they know Me not; they are sottish children, and they have no understanding; they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

jps@Jeremiah:4:29 @ For the noise of the horsemen and bowmen the whole city fleeth; they go into the thickets, and climb up upon the rocks; every city is forsaken, and not a man dwelleth therein.

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:5:1 @ Run ye to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in the broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that doeth justly, that seeketh truth; and I will pardon her.

jps@Jeremiah:5:14 @ Wherefore thus saith the LORD, the God of hosts: Because ye speak this word, behold, I will make My words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and it shall devour them.

jps@Jeremiah:5:15 @ Lo, I will bring a nation upon you from far, O house of Israel, saith the LORD; it is an enduring nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language thou knowest not, neither understandest what they say.

jps@Jeremiah:5:17 @ And they shall eat up thy harvest, and thy bread, they shall eat up thy sons and thy daughters, they shall eat up thy flocks and thy herds, they shall eat up thy vines and thy fig-trees; they shall batter thy fortified cities, wherein thou trusteth, with the sword.

jps@Jeremiah:5:18 @ But even in those days, saith the LORD, I will not make a full end with you.

jps@Jeremiah:5:19 @ And it shall come to pass, when ye shall say: 'Wherefore hath the LORD our God done all these things unto us?' then shalt Thou say unto them: 'Like as ye have forsaken Me, and served strange gods in your land, so shall ye serve strangers in a land that is not yours.'

jps@Jeremiah:5:20 @ Declare ye this in the house of Jacob, and announce it in Judah, saying:

jps@Jeremiah:5:23 @ But this people hath a revolting and a rebellious heart; they are revolted, and gone.

jps@Jeremiah:5:24 @ Neither say they in their heart: 'Let us now fear the LORD our God, that giveth the former rain, and the latter in due season; that keepeth for us the appointed weeks of the harvest.'

jps@Jeremiah:5:25 @ Your iniquities have turned away these things, and your sins have withholden good from you.

jps@Jeremiah:5:26 @ For among My people are found wicked men; they pry, as fowlers lie in wait; they set a trap, they catch men.

jps@Jeremiah:5:28 @ They are waxen fat, they are become sleek; yea, they overpass in deeds of wickedness; they plead not the cause, the cause of the fatherless, that they might make it to prosper; and the right of the needy do they not judge.

jps@Jeremiah:5:29 @ Shall I not punish for these things? saith the LORD; Shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

jps@Jeremiah:5:30 @ An appalling and horrible thing is come to pass in the land:

jps@Jeremiah:5:31 @ The prophets prophesy in the service of falsehood, and the priests bear rule at their beck; and My people love to have it so; What then will ye do in the end thereof?

jps@Jeremiah:6:1 @ Put yourselves under covert, ye children of Benjamin, away from the midst of Jerusalem, and blow the horn in Tekoa, and set up a signal on Beth-cherem; for evil looketh forth from the north, and a great destruction.

jps@Jeremiah:6:10 @ To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear? Behold, their ear is dull, and they cannot attend; behold, the word of the LORD is become unto them a reproach, they have no delight in it.

jps@Jeremiah:6:11 @ Therefore I am full of the fury of the LORD, I am weary with holding in: pour it out upon the babes in the street, and upon the assembly of young men together; for even the husband with the wife shall be taken, the aged with him that is full of days.

jps@Jeremiah:6:12 @ And their houses shall be turned unto others, their fields and their wives together; for I will stretch out My hand upon the inhabitants of the land, saith the LORD.

jps@Jeremiah:6:13 @ For from the least of them even unto the greatest of them every one is greedy for gain; and from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

jps@Jeremiah:6:19 @ Hear, O earth: Behold, I will bring evil upon this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not attended unto My words, and as for My teaching, they have rejected it.

jps@Jeremiah:6:20 @ To what purpose is to Me the frankincense that cometh from Sheba, and the sweet cane, from a far country? Your burnt- offerings are not acceptable, nor your sacrifices pleasing unto Me.

jps@Jeremiah:6:21 @ Therefore thus saith the LORD: Behold, I will lay stumblingblocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall stumble against them, the neighbour and his friend, and they shall perish.

jps@Jeremiah:6:23 @ They lay hold on bow and spear, they are cruel, and have no compassion; their voice is like the roaring sea, and they ride upon horses; set in array, as a man for war, against thee, O daughter of Zion.

jps@Jeremiah:7:4 @ Trust ye not in lying words, saying: 'The temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, the temple of the LORD, are these.'

jps@Jeremiah:7:5 @ Nay, but if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbour;

jps@Jeremiah:7:6 @ if ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt;

jps@Jeremiah:7:10 @ and come and stand before Me in this house, whereupon My name is called, and say: 'We are delivered', that ye may do all these abominations?

jps@Jeremiah:7:11 @ Is this house, whereupon My name is called, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, saith the LORD.

jps@Jeremiah:7:12 @ For go ye now unto My place which was in Shiloh, where I caused My name to dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of My people Israel.

jps@Jeremiah:7:13 @ And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the LORD, and I spoke unto you, speaking betimes and often, but ye heard not, and I called you, but ye answered not;

jps@Jeremiah:7:14 @ therefore will I do unto the house, whereupon My name is called, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

jps@Jeremiah:7:16 @ Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to Me; for I will not hear thee.

jps@Jeremiah:7:17 @ Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

jps@Jeremiah:7:18 @ The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead the dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke Me.

jps@Jeremiah:7:20 @ Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, Mine anger and My fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the land; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

jps@Jeremiah:7:21 @ Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Add your burnt-offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat ye flesh.

jps@Jeremiah:7:22 @ For I spoke not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt-offerings or sacrifices;

jps@Jeremiah:7:23 @ but this thing I commanded them, saying: 'Hearken unto My voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be My people; and walk ye in all the way that I command you, that it may be well with you.'

jps@Jeremiah:7:24 @ But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in their own counsels, even in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward,

jps@Jeremiah:7:25 @ even since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day; and though I have sent unto you all My servants the prophets, sending them daily betimes and often,

jps@Jeremiah:7:26 @ yet they hearkened not unto Me, nor inclined their ear, but made their neck stiff; they did worse than their fathers.

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: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:8:4 @ Moreover thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the LORD: Do men fall, and not rise up again? Doth one turn away, and not return?

jps@Jeremiah:8:5 @ Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit, they refuse to return.

jps@Jeremiah:8:6 @ I attended and listened, but they spoke not aright; no man repenteth him of his wickedness, saying: 'What have I done?' Every one turneth away in his course, as a horse that rusheth headlong in the battle.

jps@Jeremiah:8:7 @ Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtle and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but My people know not the ordinance of the LORD.

jps@Jeremiah:8:8 @ How do ye say: 'We are wise, and the Law of the LORD is with us'? Lo, certainly in vain hath wrought the vain pen of the scribes.

jps@Jeremiah:8:9 @ The wise men are ashamed, they are dismayed and taken; Lo, they have rejected the word of the LORD; and what wisdom is in them?

jps@Jeremiah:8:10 @ Therefore will I give their wives unto others, and their fields to them that shall possess them; for from the least even unto the greatest every one is greedy for gain, from the prophet even unto the priest every one dealeth falsely.

jps@Jeremiah:8:11 @ And they have healed the hurt of the daughter of My people lightly, saying: 'Peace, peace', when there is no peace.

jps@Jeremiah:8:12 @ They shall be put to shame because they have committed abomination; yea, they are not at all ashamed, neither know they how to blush; therefore shall they fall among them that fall, in the time of their visitation they shall stumble, saith the LORD.

jps@Jeremiah:8:13 @ I will utterly consume them, saith the LORD; there are no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the fig-tree, and the leaf is faded; and I gave them that which they transgress.

jps@Jeremiah:8:14 @ 'Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be cut off there; for the LORD our God hath cut us off, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.

jps@Jeremiah:9:6 @ Thy habitation is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know Me, saith the LORD.

jps@Jeremiah:9:8 @ Their tongue is a sharpened arrow, it speaketh deceit; one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in his heart he layeth wait for him.

jps@Jeremiah:9:9 @ Shall I not punish them for these things? saith the LORD; Shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

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@Ezekiel:1:13 @ As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like coals of fire, burning like the appearance of torches; it flashed up and down among the living creatures; and there was brightness to the fire, and out of the fire went forth lightning.

jps@Ezekiel:1:14 @ And the living creatures ran and returned as the appearance of a flash of lightning.

jps@Ezekiel:1:15 @ Now as I beheld the living creatures, behold one wheel at the bottom hard by the living creatures, at the four faces thereof.

jps@Ezekiel:1:16 @ The appearance of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl; and they four had one likeness; and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel within a wheel.

jps@Ezekiel:1:18 @ As for their rings, they were high and they were dreadful; and they four had their rings full of eyes round about.

jps@Ezekiel:1:19 @ And when the living creatures went, the wheels went hard by them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the bottom, the wheels were lifted up.

jps@Ezekiel:1:20 @ Whithersoever the spirit was to go, as the spirit was to go thither, so they went; and the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

jps@Ezekiel:1:21 @ When those went, these went, and when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up beside them; for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels.

jps@Ezekiel:1:22 @ And over the heads of the living creatures there was the likeness of a firmament, like the colour of the terrible ice, stretched forth over their heads above.

jps@Ezekiel:1:23 @ And under the firmament were their wings conformable the one to the other; this one of them had two which covered, and that one of them had two which covered, their bodies.

jps@Ezekiel:1:24 @ And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings like the noise of great waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a noise of tumult like the noise of a host; when they stood, they let down their wings.

jps@Ezekiel:1:25 @ For, when there was a voice above the firmament that was over their heads, as they stood, they let down their wings.

jps@Ezekiel:1:27 @ And I saw as the colour of electrum, as the appearance of fire round about enclosing it, from the appearance of his loins and upward; and from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and there was brightness round about him.

jps@Ezekiel:6:8 @ Yet will I leave a remnant, in that ye shall have some that escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered through the countries.

jps@Ezekiel:6:9 @ And they that escape of you shall remember Me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, how that I have been anguished with their straying heart, which hath departed from Me, and with their eyes, which are gone astray after their idols; and they shall loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations.

jps@Ezekiel:8:3 @ And the form of a hand was put forth, and I was taken by a lock of my head; and a spirit lifted me up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looketh toward the north; where was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provoketh to jealousy.

jps@Ezekiel:8:4 @ And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision that I saw in the plain.

jps@Ezekiel:8:5 @ Then said He unto me: 'Son of man, lift up thine eyes now the way toward the north.' So I lifted up mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.

jps@Ezekiel:8:6 @ And He said unto me: 'Son of man, seest thou what they do? even the great abominations that the house of Israel do commit here, that I should go far off from My sanctuary? but thou shalt again see yet greater abominations.'

jps@Ezekiel:8:10 @ So I went in and saw; and behold every detestable form of creeping things and beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed upon the wall round about.

jps@Ezekiel:8:11 @ And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and in the midst of them stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, every man with his censer in his hand; and a thick cloud of incense went up.

jps@Ezekiel:8:16 @ And He brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

jps@Ezekiel:8:17 @ Then He said unto me: 'Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here in that they fill the land with violence, and provoke Me still more, and, lo, they put the branch to their nose?

jps@Ezekiel:9:7 @ And He said unto them: 'Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain; go ye forth.' And they went forth, and smote in the city.

jps@Ezekiel:9:8 @ And it came to pass, while they were smiting, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said: 'Ah Lord GOD! wilt Thou destroy all the residue of Israel in Thy pouring out of Thy fury upon Jerusalem?'

jps@Ezekiel:9:11 @ And, behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn on his side, reported, saying: 'I have done according to all that Thou hast commanded me.'

jps@Ezekiel:10:2 @ And He spoke unto the man clothed in linen, and said: 'Go in between the wheelwork, even under the cherub, and fill both thy hands with coals of fire from between the cherubim, and dash them against the city.' And he went in in my sight.

jps@Ezekiel:10:3 @ Now the cherubim stood on the right side of the house, when the man went in; and the cloud filled the inner court.

jps@Ezekiel:10:5 @ And the sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard even to the outer court, as the voice of God Almighty when He speaketh.

jps@Ezekiel:10:6 @ And it came to pass, when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying: 'Take fire from between the wheelwork, from between the cherubim', that he went in, and stood beside a wheel.

jps@Ezekiel:10:7 @ And the cherub stretched forth his hand from between the cherubim unto the fire that was between the cherubim, and took thereof, and put it into the hands of him that was clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

jps@Ezekiel:10:8 @ And there appeared in the cherubim the form of a man's hand under their wings.

jps@Ezekiel:10:10 @ And as for their appearance, they four had one likeness, as if a wheel had been within a wheel.

jps@Ezekiel:10:12 @ And their whole body, and their backs, and their hands, and their wings, and the wheels were full of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had.

jps@Ezekiel:10:13 @ As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing The wheelwork.

jps@Ezekiel:10:15 @ And the cherubim mounted up--this is the living creature that I saw by the river Chebar.

jps@Ezekiel:10:16 @ And when the cherubim went, the wheels went beside them; and when the cherubim lifted up their wings to mount up from the earth, the same wheels also turned not from beside them.

jps@Ezekiel:10:17 @ When they stood, these stood, and when they mounted up, these mounted up with them; for the spirit of the living creature was in them.

jps@Ezekiel:10:19 @ And the cherubim lifted up their wings, and mounted up from the earth in my sight when they went forth, and the wheels beside them; and they stood at the door of the east gate of the LORD'S house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.

jps@Ezekiel:10:20 @ This is the living creature that I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and I knew that they were cherubim.

jps@Ezekiel:10:21 @ Every one had four faces apiece, and every one four wings; and the likeness of the hands of a man was under their wings.

jps@Ezekiel:11:1 @ Then a spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD'S house, which looketh eastward; and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.

jps@Ezekiel:11:2 @ And He said unto me: 'Son of man, these are the men that devise iniquity, and that give wicked counsel in this city;

jps@Daniel:1:17 @ Now as for these four youths, God gave them knowledge and skill in all learning and wisdom; and Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

jps@Daniel:1:18 @ And at the end of the days which the king had appointed for bringing them in, the chief of the officers brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar.

jps@Daniel:1:19 @ And the king spoke with them; and among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; therefore stood they before the king.

jps@Daniel:1:20 @ And in all matters of wisdom and understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and enchanters that were in all his realm.

jps@Daniel:1:21 @ And Daniel continued even unto the first year of king Cyrus.

jps@Daniel:2:1 @ And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams; and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep broke from him.

jps@Daniel:2:2 @ Then the king commanded to call the magicians, and the enchanters, and the sorcerers, and the Chaldeans, to tell the king his dreams. So they came and stood before the king.

jps@Daniel:2:3 @ And the king said unto them: 'I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.'

jps@Daniel:2:4 @ Then spoke the Chaldeans to the king in Aramaic: 'O king, live for ever! tell thy servants the dream, and we will declare the interpretation.'

jps@Daniel:2:5 @ The king answered and said to the Chaldeans: 'The thing is certain with me; if ye make not known unto me the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made a dunghill.

jps@Daniel:2:6 @ But if ye declare the dream and the interpretation thereof, ye shall receive of me gifts and rewards and great honour; only declare unto me the dream and the interpretation thereof.'

jps@Daniel:2:7 @ They answered the second time and said: 'Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will declare the interpretation.'

jps@Daniel:2:8 @ The king answered and said: 'I know of a truth that ye would gain time, inasmuch as ye see the thing is certain with me,

jps@Daniel:2:9 @ that, if ye make not known unto me the dream, there is but one law for you; and ye have agreed together to speak before me lying and corrupt words, till the time be changed; only tell me the dream, and I shall know that ye can declare unto me the interpretation thereof.'

jps@Daniel:2:10 @ The Chaldeans answered before the king, and said: 'There is not a man upon the earth that can declare the king's matter; forasmuch as no great and powerful king hath asked such a thing of any magician, or enchanter, or Chaldean.

jps@Daniel:2:11 @ And it is a hard thing that the king asketh, and there is none other that can declare it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.'

jps@Daniel:2:12 @ For this cause the king was angry and very furious, and commanded to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

jps@Daniel:2:13 @ So the decree went forth, and the wise men were to be slain; and they sought Daniel and his companions to be slain.

jps@Daniel:2:14 @ Then Daniel returned answer with counsel and discretion to Arioch the captain of the king's guard, who was gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon;

jps@Daniel:2:15 @ he answered and said to Arioch the king's captain: 'Wherefore is the decree so peremptory from the king?' Then Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

jps@Daniel:2:16 @ Then Daniel went in, and desired of the king that he would give him time, that he might declare unto the king the interpretation.

jps@Daniel:2:17 @ Then Daniel went to his house, and made the thing known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions;

jps@Daniel:2:18 @ that they might ask mercy of the God of heaven concerning this secret; that Daniel and his companions should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

jps@Daniel:2:19 @ Then was the secret revealed unto Daniel in a vision of the night. Then Daniel blessed the God of heaven.

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:2:21 @ And He changeth the times and the seasons; He removeth kings, and setteth up kings; He giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding;

jps@Daniel:2:22 @ He revealeth the deep and secret things; He knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with Him.

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:2:26 @ The king spoke and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar: 'Art thou able to make known unto me the dream which I have seen, and the interpretation thereof?'

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:2:28 @ but there is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and He hath made known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the end of days. Thy dream, and the visions of thy head upon thy bed, are these:

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:2:37 @ Thou, O king, king of kings, unto whom the God of heaven hath given the kingdom, the power, and the strength, and the glory;

jps@Daniel:2:38 @ and wheresoever the children of men, the beasts of the field, and the fowls of the heaven dwell, hath He given them into thy hand, and hath made thee to rule over them all; thou art the head of gold.

jps@Daniel:2:39 @ And after thee shall arise another kingdom inferior to thee; and another third kingdom of brass, which shall bear rule over all the earth.

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:2:42 @ And as the toes of the feet were part of iron, and part of clay, so part of the kingdom shall be strong, and part thereof broken.

jps@Daniel:2:43 @ And whereas thou sawest the iron mixed with miry clay, they shall mingle themselves by the seed of men; but they shall not cleave one to another, even as iron doth not mingle with 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: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:3:7 @ 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:3:12 @ 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:3:13 @ 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:3:16 @ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answered and said to the king: 'O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer thee in this matter.

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:3:18 @ But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.'

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:3:20 @ And he commanded certain mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

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:4:1 @ 'Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; peace be multiplied unto you.

jps@Daniel:4:4 @ I Nebuchadnezzar was at rest in my house, and flourishing in my palace.

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:4:12 @ 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:4:15 @ 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. The king spoke and said: 'Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation, affright thee.'

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:6:14 @ 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:6:16 @ Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Now the king spoke and said unto Daniel: 'Thy God whom thou servest continually, He will deliver thee.'

jps@Daniel:6:17 @ And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den; and the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his lords; that nothing might be changed concerning Daniel.

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:6:19 @ Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions.

jps@Daniel:6:20 @ And when he came near unto the den to Daniel, he cried with a pained voice; the king spoke and said to Daniel: 'O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions?'

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:6:23 @ Then was the king exceeding glad, and commanded that they should take Daniel up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he had trusted in his God.

jps@Daniel:6:24 @ And the king commanded, and they brought those men that had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, their children, and their wives; and they had not come to the bottom of the den, when the lions had the mastery of them, and broke all their bones in pieces.

jps@Daniel:6:25 @ Then king Darius wrote unto all the peoples, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth: 'Peace be multiplied unto you.

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:6:27 @ He delivereth and rescueth, and He worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth; who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.'

jps@Daniel:6:28 @ So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

jps@Daniel:7:1 @ In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed; then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.

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:7:5 @ And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was said thus unto it: 'Arise, devour much flesh.'

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:7:7 @ 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:7:9 @ 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:7:10 @ 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:7:11 @ 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:7:14 @ And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

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:7:21 @ I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;

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:7:23 @ Thus he said: 'The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.

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:7:26 @ But the judgment shall sit, and his dominions shall be taken away, to be consumed and to be destroy unto the end.

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:8:3 @ 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:8:5 @ 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:8:11 @ 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:8:14 @ And he said unto me: 'Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be victorious.'

jps@Daniel:8:18 @ Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright.

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:8:27 @ And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was appalled at the vision, but understood it not.

jps@Daniel:9:1 @ In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;

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:9:3 @ And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes.

jps@Daniel:9:5 @ we have sinned, and have dealt iniquitously, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, and have turned aside from Thy commandments and from Thine ordinances;

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:9:9 @ 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:9:12 @ And He hath confirmed His word, which He spoke against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil; so that under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.

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:9:14 @ And so the LORD hath watched over the evil, and brought it upon us; for the LORD our God is righteous in all His works which He hath done, and we have not hearkened to His voice.

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:9:19 @ O Lord, hear, O Lord, forgive, O Lord, attend and do, defer not; for Thine own sake, O my God, because Thy name is called upon Thy city and Thy people.'

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:10:2 @ In those days I Daniel was mourning three whole weeks.

jps@Daniel:10:3 @ I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled.

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:10:7 @ And I Daniel alone saw the vision; for the men that were with me saw not the vision; howbeit a great trembling fell upon them, and they fled to hide themselves.

jps@Daniel:10:8 @ So that I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.

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:10:11 @ And he said unto me: 'O Daniel, thou man greatly beloved, give heed unto the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright; for now am I sent unto thee'; and when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.

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:10:15 @ And when he had spoken unto me according to these words, I set my face toward the ground, and was dumb.

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:11:3 @ And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, and do according to his will.

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:11:24 @ 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.
