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:20:17 @ Behold, the days come, that all that is in thy house, and that which thy fathers have laid up in store unto this day, shall be carried to Babylon; nothing shall be left, saith the LORD.

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

jps@2Kings:20:20 @ Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might, and how he made the pool, and the conduit, and brought water into the city, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

jps@2Kings:20:21 @ And Hezekiah slept with his fathers; and Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

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:21:6 @ 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:21:9 @ But they hearkened not; and Manasseh seduced them to do that which is evil more than did the nations, whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.

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

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

jps@2Kings: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:21:18 @ And Manasseh slept with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son reigned in his stead.

jps@2Kings:21:19 @ Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

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:21:25 @ Now the rest of the acts of Amon which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

jps@2Kings:21:26 @ And he was buried in his sepulchre in the garden of Uzza; and Josiah his son reigned in his stead.

jps@2Kings:22:1 @ Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Jedidah the daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.

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:22:6 @ 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:22:9 @ 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:22:12 @ 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:22:16 @ 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:22:19 @ 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:23:3 @ And the king stood on the platform, and made a covenant before the LORD, to walk after the LORD, and to keep His commandments, and His testimonies, and His statutes, with all his heart, and all his soul, to confirm the words of this covenant that were written in this book; and all the people stood to the covenant.

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

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

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

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

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

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

jps@2Kings:23:12 @ 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:23:24 @ 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:23:26 @ 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:23:28 @ 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:23:30 @ 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:23:34 @ 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:23:37 @ And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his fathers had done.

jps@2Kings:24:1 @ In his days Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up, and Jehoiakim became his servant three years; then he turned and rebelled against him.

jps@2Kings:24:2 @ And the LORD sent against him bands of the Chaldeans, and bands of the Arameans, and bands of the Moabites, and bands of the children of Ammon, and sent them against Judah to destroy it, according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke by the hand of His servants the prophets.

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:24:9 @ And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that his father had done.

jps@2Kings:24:10 @ At that time the servants of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up to Jerusalem, and the city was besieged.

jps@2Kings:24:11 @ And Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came unto the city, while his servants were besieging it.

jps@2Kings:24:12 @ And Jehoiachin the king of Judah went out to the king of Babylon, he, and his mother, and his servants, and his princes, and his officers; and the king of Babylon took him in the eighth year of his reign.

jps@2Kings:24:13 @ And he carried out thence all the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and cut in pieces all the vessels of gold which Solomon king of Israel had made in the temple of the LORD, as the LORD had said.

jps@2Kings:24:14 @ And he carried away all Jerusalem, and all the princes, and all the mighty men of valour, even ten thousand captives, and all the craftsmen and the smiths; none remained, save the poorest sort of the people of the land.

jps@2Kings:24:15 @ And he carried away Jehoiachin to Babylon; and the king's mother, and the king's wives, and his officers, and the chief men of the land, carried he into captivity from Jerusalem to Babylon.

jps@2Kings:24:16 @ And all the men of might, even seven thousand, and the craftsmen and the smiths a thousand, all of them strong and apt for war, even them the king of Babylon brought captive to Babylon.

jps@2Kings:24:17 @ And the king of Babylon made Mattaniah his father's brother king in his stead, and changed his name to Zedekiah.

jps@2Kings:24:18 @ Zedekiah was twenty and one years old when he began to reign; and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

jps@2Kings:24:19 @ And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, according to all that Jehoiakim had done.

jps@2Kings:24:20 @ For through the anger of the LORD did it come to pass in Jerusalem and Judah, until He had cast them out from His presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

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:25:3 @ 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:25:6 @ 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:25:11 @ 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:25:13 @ 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:25:16 @ 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:25:20 @ 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:25:25 @ But it came to pass in the seventh month, that Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the seed royal, came, and ten men with him, and smote Gedaliah, that he died, and the Jews and the Chaldeans that were with him at Mizpah.

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@1Chronicles:13:1 @ And David consulted with the captains of thousands and of hundreds, even with every leader.

jps@1Chronicles:13:2 @ And David said unto all the assembly of Israel: 'If it seem good unto you, and if it be of the LORD our God, let us send abroad everywhere unto our brethren that are left in all the land of Israel, and with them to the priests and Levites that are in their cities that have open land about them, that they may gather themselves unto us;

jps@1Chronicles:13:4 @ And all the assembly said that they would do so; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people.

jps@1Chronicles:13:5 @ So David assembled all Israel together, from Shihor the brook of Egypt even unto the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.

jps@1Chronicles:13:6 @ And David went up, and all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring up from thence the ark of God, the LORD that sitteth upon the cherubim, whereon is called the Name.

jps@1Chronicles:13:8 @ And David and all Israel played before God with all their might; even with songs, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.

jps@1Chronicles:13:9 @ And when they came unto the threshing-floor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.

jps@1Chronicles:13:10 @ And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and He smote him, because he put forth his hand to the ark; and there he died before God.

jps@1Chronicles:13:11 @ And David was displeased, because the LORD had broken forth upon Uzza; and that place was called Perez-uzza unto this day.

jps@1Chronicles:13:12 @ And David was afraid of God that day, saying: 'How shall I bring the ark of God home to me?'

jps@1Chronicles:13:13 @ So David removed not the ark unto him into the city of David, but carried it aside into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

jps@1Chronicles:13:14 @ And the ark of God remained with the family of Obed-edom in his house three months; and the LORD blessed the house of Obed-edom, and all that he had.

jps@1Chronicles:14:1 @ And Huram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar-trees, and masons, and carpenters, to build him a house.

jps@1Chronicles:14:2 @ And David perceived that the LORD had established him king over Israel, for his kingdom was exalted exceedingly, for His people Israel's sake.

jps@1Chronicles:14:3 @ And David took more wives at Jerusalem; and David begot more sons and daughters.

jps@1Chronicles:14:9 @ Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.

jps@1Chronicles:14:10 @ And David inquired of God, saying: 'Shall I go up against the Philistines? and wilt Thou deliver them into my hand?' And the LORD said unto him: 'Go up; for I will deliver them into thy hand.'

jps@1Chronicles:14:11 @ So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David smote them there; and David said: 'God hath broken mine enemies by my hand, like the breach of waters.' Therefore they called the name of that place Baal-perazim.

jps@1Chronicles:14:12 @ And they left their gods there; and David gave commandment, and they were burned with fire.

jps@1Chronicles:14:13 @ And the Philistines yet again made a raid in the valley.

jps@1Chronicles:14:14 @ And David inquired again of God; and God said unto him: 'Thou shalt not go up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry-trees.

jps@1Chronicles:14:15 @ And it shall be, when thou hearest the sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry-trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle; for God is gone out before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.'

jps@1Chronicles:14:16 @ And David did as God commanded him; and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gezer.

jps@1Chronicles:14:17 @ And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.

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

jps@1Chronicles:15:2 @ Then David said: 'None ought to carry the ark of God but the Levites; for them hath the LORD chosen to carry the ark of the LORD, and to minister unto Him for ever.'

jps@1Chronicles:15:3 @ And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the LORD unto its place, which he had prepared for it.

jps@1Chronicles:15:4 @ And David gathered together the sons of Aaron, and the Levites;

jps@1Chronicles:15:12 @ and said unto them: 'Ye are the heads of the fathers' houses of the Levites; sanctify yourselves, both ye and your brethren, that ye may bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel, unto the place that I have prepared for it.

jps@1Chronicles:15:13 @ For because ye bore it not at the first, the LORD our God made a breach upon us, for that we sought Him not according to the ordinance.'

jps@1Chronicles:15:14 @ So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the ark of the LORD, the God of Israel.

jps@1Chronicles:15:15 @ And the children of the Levites bore the ark of God upon their shoulders with the bars thereon, as Moses commanded according to the word of the LORD.

jps@1Chronicles:15:16 @ And David spoke to the chief of the Levites to appoint their brethren the singers, with instruments of music, psalteries and harps and cymbals, sounding aloud and lifting up the voice with joy.

jps@1Chronicles:15:17 @ So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel; and of his brethren, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brethren, Ethan the son of Kushaiah;

jps@1Chronicles:15:25 @ So David, and the elders of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the house of Obed-edom with joy.

jps@1Chronicles:15:26 @ And it came to pass, when God helped the Levites that bore the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that they sacrificed seven bullocks and seven rams.

jps@1Chronicles:15:28 @ Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of the LORD with shouting, and with sound of the horn, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, sounding aloud with psalteries and harps.

jps@1Chronicles:15:29 @ And it came to pass, as the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David dancing and making merry; and she despised him in her heart.

jps@1Chronicles:16:1 @ And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it, and they offered burnt- offerings and peace-offerings before God.

jps@1Chronicles:16:2 @ And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.

jps@1Chronicles:16:3 @ And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a cake made in a pan, and a sweet cake.

jps@1Chronicles:17:15 @ According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

jps@1Chronicles:17:16 @ Then David the king went in, and sat before the LORD; and he said: 'Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that Thou hast brought me thus far?

jps@1Chronicles:17:17 @ And this was a small thing in Thine eyes, O God; but Thou hast spoken of Thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me after the manner of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

jps@1Chronicles:17:19 @ O LORD, for Thy servant's sake, and according to Thine own heart, hast Thou wrought all this greatness, to make known all these great things.

jps@1Chronicles:17:23 @ And now, O LORD, let the word that Thou hast spoken concerning Thy servant, and concerning his house, be established for ever, and do as Thou hast spoken.

jps@1Chronicles:17:24 @ Yea, let it be established, and let Thy name be magnified for ever, that it may be said: The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel; and the house of David Thy servant shall be established before Thee.

jps@1Chronicles:17:25 @ For Thou, O my God, hast revealed to Thy servant that Thou wilt build him a house; therefore hath Thy servant taken heart to pray before Thee.

jps@1Chronicles:18:1 @ And after this it came to pass, that David smote the Philistines, and subdued them, and took Gath and its towns out of the hand of the Philistines.

jps@1Chronicles:18:2 @ And he smote Moab; and the Moabites became servants to David, and brought presents.

jps@1Chronicles:18:3 @ And David smote Hadarezer king of Zobah by Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion at the river Euphrates.

jps@1Chronicles:18:12 @ Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiah smote of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt eighteen thousand.

jps@1Chronicles:18:13 @ And he put garrisons in Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the LORD gave victory to David whithersoever he went.

jps@1Chronicles:18:14 @ And David reigned over all Israel; and he executed justice and righteousness unto all his people.

jps@1Chronicles:18:15 @ And Joab the son of Zeruiah was over the host; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud was recorder.

jps@1Chronicles:19:2 @ And David said: 'l will show kindness unto Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me.' So David sent messengers to comfort him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to comfort him.

jps@1Chronicles:19:3 @ But the princes of the children of Ammon said to Hanun: 'Thinkest thou that David doth honour thy father, that he hath sent comforters unto thee? are not his servants come unto thee to search, and to overthrow, and to spy out the land?'

jps@1Chronicles:19:4 @ So Hanun took David's servants, and shaved them, and cut off their garments in the middle, even to their hips, and sent them away.

jps@1Chronicles:19:5 @ Then there went certain persons, and told David how the men were served. And he sent to meet them; for the men were greatly ashamed. And the king said: 'Tarry at Jericho until your beards be grown, and then return.'

jps@1Chronicles:19:6 @ And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots and horsemen out of Aram-naharaim, and out of Aram-maacah, and out of Zobah.

jps@1Chronicles:19:7 @ So they hired them thirty and two thousand chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people; who came and encamped before Medeba. And the children of Ammon gathered themselves together from their cities, and came to battle.

jps@1Chronicles:19:8 @ And when David heard of it, he sent Joab, and all the host of the mighty men.

jps@1Chronicles:19:9 @ And the children of Ammon came out and put the battle in array at the gate of the city; and the kings that were come were by themselves in the field.

jps@1Chronicles:19:10 @ Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him before and behind, he chose of all the choice men of Israel, and put them in array against the Arameans.

jps@1Chronicles:19:11 @ And the rest of the people he committed into the hand of Abishai his brother, and they put themselves in array against the children of Ammon.

jps@1Chronicles:19:15 @ And when the children of Ammon saw that the Arameans were fled, they likewise fled before Abishai his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.

jps@1Chronicles:19:16 @ And when the Arameans saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they sent messengers, and brought out the Arameans that were beyond the River, with Shophach the captain of the host of Hadarezer at their head.

jps@1Chronicles:19:17 @ And it was told David; and he gathered all Israel together, and passed over the Jordan, and came upon them, and set the battle in array against them. So when David had put the battle in array against the Arameans, they fought with him.

jps@1Chronicles:19:18 @ And the Arameans fled before Israel; and David slew of the Arameans the men of seven thousand chariots, and forty thousand footmen, and killed Shophach the captain of the host.

jps@1Chronicles:19:19 @ And when the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were put to the worse before Israel, they made peace with David, and served him; neither would the Arameans help the children of Ammon any more.

jps@1Chronicles:20:1 @ And it came to pass, at the time of the return of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that Joab led forth the power of the army, and wasted the country of the children of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David tarried at Jerusalem. And Joab smote Rabbah, and overthrew it.

jps@1Chronicles:20:2 @ And David took the crown of Malcam from off his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it; and it was set upon David's head; and he brought forth the spoil of the city, exceeding much.

jps@1Chronicles:20:3 @ And he brought forth the people that were therein, and cut them with saws, and with harrows of iron, and with axes. And thus did David unto all the cities of the children of Ammon. And David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

jps@1Chronicles:20:4 @ And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbecai the Hushathite slew Sippai, of the sons of the giants; and they were subdued.

jps@1Chronicles:20:5 @ And there was again war with the Philistines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the staff of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.

jps@1Chronicles:20:6 @ And there was again war at Gath, where was a man of great stature, whose fingers and toes were four and twenty, six on each hand, and six on each foot; and he also was born unto the giant.

jps@1Chronicles:20:7 @ And when he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him.

jps@1Chronicles:20:8 @ These were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

jps@1Chronicles:21:1 @ And Satan stood up against Israel, and moved David to number Israel.

jps@1Chronicles:21:2 @ And David said to Joab and to the princes of the people: 'Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan; and bring me word, that I may know the sum of them.'

jps@1Chronicles:21:3 @ And Joab said: 'The LORD make His people a hundred times so many more as they are; but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? why doth my lord require this thing? why will he be a cause of guilt unto Israel?'

jps@1Chronicles:21:4 @ Nevertheless the king's word prevailed against Joab. Wherefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.

jps@1Chronicles:21:5 @ And Joab gave up the sum of the numbering of the people unto David. And all they of Israel were a thousand thousand and a hundred thousand men that drew sword; and Judah was four hundred three-score and ten thousand men that drew sword.

jps@1Chronicles:21:6 @ But Levi and Benjamin he did not number among them; for the king's word was abominable to Joab.

jps@1Chronicles:21:7 @ And God was displeased with this thing; therefore He smote Israel.

jps@1Chronicles:21:8 @ And David said unto God: 'I have sinned greatly, in that I have done this thing; but now, put away, I beseech Thee, the iniquity of Thy servant; for I have done very foolishly.'

jps@1Chronicles:21:9 @ And the LORD spoke unto Gad, David's seer, saying:

jps@1Chronicles:21:10 @ 'Go and speak unto David, saying: Thus saith the LORD: I offer thee three things; choose thee one of them, that I may do it unto thee.'

jps@1Chronicles:21:11 @ So Gad came to David, and said unto him: 'Thus saith the LORD: Take which thou wilt:

jps@1Chronicles:21:12 @ either three years of famine; or three months to be swept away before thy foes, while the sword of thine enemies overtaketh thee; or else three days the sword of the LORD, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the borders of Israel.

jps@1Chronicles:21:13 @ And David said unto Gad: 'I am in a great strait; let me fall now into the hand of the LORD, for very great are His mercies; and let me not fall into the hand of man.'

jps@1Chronicles:21:14 @ So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel; and there fell of Israel seventy thousand men.

jps@1Chronicles:21:15 @ And God sent an angel unto Jerusalem to destroy it; and as he was about to destroy, the LORD beheld, and He repented Him of the evil, and said to the destroying angel: 'It is enough; now stay thy hand.' And the angel of the LORD was standing by the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

jps@1Chronicles:21:16 @ And David lifted up his eyes, and saw the angel of the LORD standing between the earth and the heaven, having a drawn sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell upon their faces.

jps@1Chronicles:21:17 @ And David said unto God: 'Is it not I that commanded the people to be numbered? even I it is that have sinned and done very wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? let Thy hand, I pray Thee, O LORD my God, be against me, and against my father's house; but not against Thy people, that they should be plagued.'

jps@1Chronicles:21:18 @ Then the angel of the LORD commanded Gad to say to David, that David should go up, and rear an altar unto the LORD in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

jps@1Chronicles:21:19 @ And David went up at the saying of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the LORD.

jps@1Chronicles:21:20 @ And Ornan turned back, and saw the angel; and his four sons that were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan was threshing wheat.

jps@1Chronicles:21:21 @ And as David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out of the threshing-floor, and bowed down to David with his face to the ground.

jps@1Chronicles:21:22 @ Then David said to Ornan: 'Give me the place of this threshing-floor, that I may build thereon an altar unto the LORD; for the full price shalt thou give it me; that the plague may be stayed from the people.'

jps@1Chronicles:21:23 @ And Ornan said unto David: 'Take it to thee, and let my lord the king do that which is good in his eyes; lo, I give thee the oxen for burnt-offerings, and the threshing-instruments for wood, and the wheat for the meal-offering; I give it all'

jps@1Chronicles:21:24 @ And king David said to Ornan: 'Nay, but I will verily buy it for the full price; for I will not take that which is thine for the LORD, nor offer a burnt-offering without cost.'

jps@1Chronicles:21:25 @ So David gave to Ornan for the place six hundred shekels of gold by weight.

jps@1Chronicles:21:26 @ And David built there an altar unto the LORD, and offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings, and called upon the LORD; and He answered him from heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt-offering.

jps@1Chronicles:21:27 @ And the LORD commanded the angel; and he put up his sword back into the sheath thereof.

jps@1Chronicles:21:28 @ At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him in the threshing-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, then he sacrificed there.

jps@1Chronicles:21:29 @ For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt-offering, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.

jps@1Chronicles:21:30 @ But David could not go before it to inquire of God; for he was terrified because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.

jps@1Chronicles:22:1 @ Then David said: 'This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of burnt-offering for Israel.'

jps@1Chronicles:22:2 @ And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.

jps@1Chronicles:22:3 @ And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the couplings; and brass in abundance without weight;

jps@1Chronicles:22:4 @ and cedar-trees without number; for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar-trees in abundance to David.

jps@1Chronicles:22:5 @ And David said: 'Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries; I will therefore make preparation for him.' So David prepared abundantly before his death.

jps@1Chronicles:22:6 @ Then He called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.

jps@1Chronicles:22:7 @ And David said to Solomon: 'My son, as for me, it was in my heart to build a house unto the name of the LORD my God.

jps@1Chronicles:22:8 @ But the word of the LORD came to me, saying: Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars; thou shalt not build a house unto My name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in My sight.

jps@1Chronicles:22:9 @ Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.

jps@1Chronicles:22:10 @ He shall build a house for My name; and he shall be to Me for a son, and I will be to him for a father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.

jps@1Chronicles:22:11 @ Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as He hath spoken concerning thee.

jps@1Chronicles:22:12 @ Only the LORD give thee discretion and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel; that so thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.

jps@1Chronicles:22:13 @ Then shalt thou prosper, if thou observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel; be strong, and of good courage; fear not, neither be dismayed.

jps@1Chronicles:22:14 @ Now, behold, in my straits I have prepared for the house of the LORD a hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight, for it is in abundance; timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.

jps@1Chronicles:22:15 @ Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all men that are skilful in any manner of work;

jps@1Chronicles:22:16 @ of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.'

jps@1Chronicles:22:17 @ David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son:

jps@1Chronicles:22:18 @ 'Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath He not given you rest on every side? for He hath delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before His people.

jps@1Chronicles:22:19 @ Now set your heart and your soul to seek after the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.'

jps@1Chronicles:23:1 @ Now David was old and full of days; and he made Solomon his son king over Israel.

jps@1Chronicles:23:2 @ And he gathered together all the princes of Israel, with the priests and the Levites.

jps@1Chronicles:23:3 @ And the Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward; and their number by their polls, man by man, was thirty and eight thousand.

jps@1Chronicles:23:10 @ And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zina, and Jeush, and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

jps@1Chronicles:23:11 @ And Jahath was the chief, and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah had not many sons; therefore they became a fathers' house in one reckoning.

jps@1Chronicles:23:12 @ The sons of Kohath: Amram, Izhar, Hebron, and Uzziel, four.

jps@1Chronicles:23:13 @ The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was separated, that he should be sanctified as most holy, he and his sons for ever, to offer before the LORD, to minister unto Him, and to bless in His name for ever.

jps@1Chronicles:23:14 @ But as for Moses the man of God, his sons are named among the tribe of Levi.

jps@2Chronicles:2:5 @ And the house which I build is great; for great is our God above all gods.

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:3:9 @ And the weight of the nails was fifty shekels of gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold.

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

jps@2Chronicles:3:15 @ Also he made before the house two pillars of thirty and five cubits high, and the capital that was on the top of each of them was five cubits.

jps@2Chronicles:4:1 @ Moreover he made an altar of brass, twenty cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof.

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:4:5 @ And it was a handbreadth thick; and the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, like the flower of a lily: it received and held three thousand baths.

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:5:6 @ And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.

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:8:18 @ And Huram sent him by the hands of his servants ships, and servants that had knowledge of the sea; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and fetched from thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.

jps@2Chronicles:9:1 @ And when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to prove Solomon with hard questions at Jerusalem, with a very great train, and camels that bore spices and gold in abundance, and precious stones; and when she was come to Solomon, she spoke with him of all that was in her heart.

jps@2Chronicles:9:2 @ And Solomon told her all her questions; and there was not any thing hid from Solomon which he told her not.

jps@2Chronicles:9:3 @ And when the queen of Sheba had seen the wisdom of Solomon, and the house that he had built,

jps@2Chronicles:9:4 @ and the food of his table, and the sitting of his servants, and the attendance of his ministers, and their apparel; his cupbearers also, and their apparel; and his ascent by which he went up into the house of the LORD; there was no more spirit in her.

jps@2Chronicles:9:5 @ And she said to the king: 'It was a true report that I heard in mine own land of thine acts, and of thy wisdom.

jps@2Chronicles:9:6 @ Howbeit I believed not their words, until I came, and mine eyes had seen it; and, behold, the half of the greatness of thy wisdom was not told me; thou exceedest the fame that I heard.

jps@2Chronicles:9:7 @ Happy are thy men, and happy are these thy servants, that stand continually before thee, and hear thy wisdom.

jps@2Chronicles:9:8 @ Blessed be the LORD thy God, who delighted in thee, to set thee on His throne, to be king for the LORD thy God; because thy God loved Israel, to establish them for ever, therefore made He thee king over them, to do justice and righteousness.'

jps@2Chronicles:9:9 @ And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and spices in great abundance, and precious stones; neither was there any such spice as the queen of Sheba gave to king Solomon.

jps@2Chronicles:9:10 @ And the servants also of Huram, and the servants of Solomon that brought gold from Ophir, brought sandal-wood and precious stones.

jps@2Chronicles:9:11 @ And the king made of the sandal-wood paths for the house of the LORD, and for the king's house, and harps and psalteries for the singers; and there were none such seen before in the land of Judah.

jps@2Chronicles:9:12 @ And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatsoever she asked, beside that which she had brought unto the king. So she turned, and went to her own land, she and her servants.

jps@2Chronicles:9:13 @ Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and threescore and six talents of gold;

jps@2Chronicles:9:14 @ beside that which the traffickers and merchants brought; and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.

jps@2Chronicles:9:15 @ And king Solomon made two hundred targets of beaten gold: six hundred shekels of beaten gold went to one target;

jps@2Chronicles:9:16 @ three hundred shields of beaten gold also: three hundred shekels of gold went to one shield; and the king put them in the house of the forest of Lebanon.

jps@2Chronicles:9:17 @ Moreover the king made a great throne of ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold.

jps@2Chronicles:9:18 @ And there were six steps to the throne, with a footstool of gold, which were fastened to the throne, and arms on either side by the place of the seat, and two lions standing beside the arms.

jps@2Chronicles:9:19 @ And twelve lions stood there on the one side and on the other upon the six steps; there was not the like made in any kingdom.

jps@2Chronicles:9:20 @ And all king Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the forest of Lebanon were of pure gold; silver was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.

jps@2Chronicles:9:21 @ For the king had ships that went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years came the ships of Tarshish, bringing gold, and silver, ivory, and apes, and peacocks.

jps@2Chronicles:9:22 @ So king Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

jps@2Chronicles:9:23 @ And all the kings of the earth sought the presence of Solomon, to hear his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

jps@2Chronicles:9:24 @ And they brought every man his present, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and raiment, armour, and spices, horses, and mules, a rate year by year.

jps@2Chronicles:9:25 @ And Solomon had four thousand stalls for horses and chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he bestowed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.

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:10:4 @ 'Thy father made our yoke grievous; now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.'

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:10:8 @ But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him.

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:10:11 @ And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'

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:11:6 @ He built even Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,

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

jps@2Chronicles:11:15 @ and he appointed him priests for the high places, and for the satyrs, and for the calves which he had made.

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

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

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

jps@2Chronicles:11:19 @ and she bore him sons: Jeush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

jps@2Chronicles:12:4 @ 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:12:14 @ And he did that which was evil, because he set not his heart to seek the LORD.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

jps@2Chronicles:13:13 @ But Jeroboam caused an ambushment to come about behind them; so they were before Judah, and the ambushment was behind them.

jps@2Chronicles:13:14 @ And when Judah looked back, behold, the battle was before and behind them; and they cried unto the LORD, and the priests sounded with the trumpets.

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

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

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

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

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

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

jps@2Chronicles:13:21 @ But Abijah waxed mighty, and took unto himself fourteen wives, and begot twenty and two sons, and sixteen daughters.

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:14:3 @ for he took away the strange altars, and the high places, and broke down the pillars, and hewed down the Asherim;

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

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

jps@2Chronicles:14:6 @ 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:14:7 @ For he said unto Judah: 'Let us build these cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, and bars; the land is yet before us, because we have sought the LORD our God; we have sought Him, and He hath given us rest on every side.' So they built and prospered.

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.

jps@2Chronicles:14:12 @ So the LORD smote the Ethiopians before Asa, and before Judah; and the Ethiopians fled.

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

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

jps@2Chronicles:15:8 @ 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:15:11 @ 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:15:16 @ And also Maacah the mother of Asa the king, he removed her from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and made dust of it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron.

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

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

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

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

jps@2Chronicles:16:5 @ 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: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:17:10 @ And a terror from the LORD fell upon all the kingdoms of the lands that were round about Judah, so that they made no war against Jehoshaphat.

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

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

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

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

jps@2Chronicles:17:18 @ and next to him Jehozabad, and with him a hundred and fourscore thousand ready prepared for war.

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:18:20 @ And there came forth the spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said: I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him: Wherewith?

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

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

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

jps@2Chronicles: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:18:25 @ And the king of Israel said: 'Take ye Micaiah; and carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;

jps@2Chronicles:18:29 @ And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat: 'I will disguise myself, and go into the battle; but put thou on thy robes.' So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle.

jps@2Chronicles:20:1 @ And it came to pass after this, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.

jps@2Chronicles:20:2 @ Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying: 'There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea from Aram; and, behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar'--the same is En-gedi.

jps@2Chronicles:20:3 @ And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek unto the LORD; and he proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

jps@2Chronicles:20:4 @ And Judah gathered themselves together, to seek help of the LORD; even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.

jps@2Chronicles:20:5 @ And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court;

jps@2Chronicles:20:6 @ and he said: 'O LORD, the God of our fathers, art not Thou alone God in heaven? and art not Thou ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? and in Thy hand is power and might, so that none is able to withstand Thee.

jps@2Chronicles:20:21 @ And when he had taken counsel with the people, he appointed them that should sing unto the LORD, and praise in the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and say: 'Give thanks unto the LORD, for His mercy endureth for ever.'

jps@2Chronicles:20:23 @ For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them; and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.

jps@2Chronicles:20:24 @ And when Judah came to the watch-tower of the wilderness, they looked upon the multitude; and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and there were none that escaped.

jps@2Chronicles:20:25 @ And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches and dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away; and they were three days in taking the spoil, it was so much.

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

jps@2Chronicles:20:27 @ Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go back to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.

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

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

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

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

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

jps@2Chronicles:29:28 @ And all the congregation prostrated themselves, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued until the burnt-offering was finished.

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.' And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart brought burnt-offerings.

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:30:1 @ And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD, the God of Israel.

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:30:10 @ So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh, even unto Zebulun; but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.

jps@2Chronicles:30:11 @ Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.

jps@2Chronicles:30:12 @ Also in Judah was the hand of God to give them one heart, to do the commandment of the king and of the princes by the word of the LORD.

jps@2Chronicles:30:13 @ And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.

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:30:20 @ And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.

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:30:23 @ And the whole congregation took counsel to keep other seven days; and they kept other seven days with gladness.

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:30:27 @ Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people; and their voice was heard of the LORD, and their prayer came up to His holy habitation, even unto heaven.

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:31:3 @ He appointed also the king's portion of his substance for the burnt-offerings, to wit, for the morning and evening burnt- offerings, and the burnt-offerings for the sabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the appointed seasons, as it is written in the Law 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:31:6 @ And the children of Israel and Judah, that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they also brought in the tithe of oxen and sheep, and the tithe of hallowed things which were hallowed unto the LORD their God, and laid them by heaps.

jps@2Chronicles:31:7 @ In the third month they began to lay the foundation of the heaps, and finished them in the seventh month.

jps@2Chronicles:31:8 @ And when Hezekiah and the princes came and saw the heaps, they blessed the LORD, and His people Israel.

jps@2Chronicles:31:9 @ Then Hezekiah questioned the priests and the Levites concerning the heaps.

jps@2Chronicles:31:10 @ And Azariah the chief priest, of the house of Zadok, answered him and said: 'Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of the LORD, we have eaten and had enough, and have left plenty; for the LORD hath blessed His people; and that which is left is this great store.'

jps@2Chronicles:31:11 @ Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare chambers in the house of the LORD; and they prepared them.

jps@2Chronicles:31:12 @ And they brought in the offerings and the tithes and the hallowed things faithfully; and over them Conaniah the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was second.

jps@2Chronicles:31:13 @ And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Asahel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overseers under the hand of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the appointment of Hezekiah the king, and Azariah the ruler of the house of God.

jps@2Chronicles:31:14 @ And Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the porter at the east gate, was over the freewill-offerings of God, to distribute the offerings of the LORD, and the most holy things.

jps@2Chronicles:31:15 @ And under him were Eden, and Miniamin, and Jeshua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, in their office of trust, to give to their brethren by courses, as well to the great as to the small;

jps@2Chronicles:31:16 @ beside them that were reckoned by genealogy of males, from three years old and upward, even every one that entered into the house of the LORD, for his daily portion, for their service in their charges according to their courses;

jps@2Chronicles:31:18 @ even to give to them that were reckoned by genealogy of all their little ones, their wives, and their sons, and their daughters, through all the congregation; for in their office of trust they administered the sacred gifts;

jps@2Chronicles:31:19 @ also for the sons of Aaron the priests, that were in the fields of the open land about their cities, in every city, there were men that were mentioned by name, to give portions to all the males among the priests, and to all that were reckoned by genealogy among the Levites.

jps@2Chronicles:31:20 @ And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah; and he wrought that which was good and right and faithful before the LORD his God.

jps@2Chronicles:31:21 @ And in every work that he began in the service of the house of God, and in the law, and in the commandments, to seek his God, he did it with all his heart, and prospered.

jps@2Chronicles:32:1 @ After these things, and this faithfulness, Sennacherib king of Assyria came, and entered into Judah, and encamped against the fortified cities, and thought to make a breach therein for himself.

jps@2Chronicles:32:2 @ And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib was come, and that he was purposed to fight against Jerusalem,

jps@2Chronicles:32:3 @ he took counsel with his princes and his mighty men to stop the waters of the fountains which were without the city; and they helped him.

jps@2Chronicles:32:4 @ So there was gathered much people together, and they stopped all the fountains, and the brook that flowed through the midst of the land, saying: 'Why should the kings of Assyria come, and find much water?'

jps@2Chronicles:32:5 @ And he took courage, and built up all the wall that was broken down, and raised it up to the towers, and another wall without, and strengthened Millo in the city of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance.

jps@2Chronicles:32:6 @ And he set captains of war over the people, and gathered them together to him in the broad place at the gate of the city, and spoke encouragingly to them, saying:

jps@2Chronicles:32:7 @ 'Be strong and of good courage, be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of Assyria, nor for all the multitude that is with him; for there is a Greater with us than with him:

jps@2Chronicles:32:8 @ with him is an arm of flesh; but with us is the LORD our God to help us, and to fight our battles.' And the people rested themselves upon the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

jps@2Chronicles:32:9 @ After this did Sennacherib king of Assyria send his servants to Jerusalem--now he was before Lachish, and all his power with him--unto Hezekiah king of Judah, and unto all Judah that were at Jerusalem, saying:

jps@2Chronicles:32:10 @ 'Thus saith Sennacherib king of Assyria: Whereon do ye trust, that ye abide the siege in Jerusalem?

jps@2Chronicles:32:11 @ Doth not Hezekiah persuade you, to give you over to die by famine and by thirst, saying: The LORD our God will deliver us out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

jps@2Chronicles:32:12 @ Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away His high places and His altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying: Ye shall worship before one altar, and upon it shall ye offer?

jps@2Chronicles:32:13 @ Know ye not what I and my fathers have done unto all the peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands in any wise able to deliver their land out of my hand?

jps@2Chronicles:32:14 @ Who was there among all the gods of those nations which my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of my hand?

jps@2Chronicles:32:15 @ Now therefore let not Hezekiah beguile you, nor persuade you after this manner, neither believe ye him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers; how much less shall your God deliver you out of my hand?'

jps@2Chronicles:32:16 @ And his servants spoke yet more against the LORD God, and against His servant Hezekiah.

jps@2Chronicles:32:17 @ He wrote also a letter, to taunt the LORD, the God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying: 'As the gods of the nations of the lands, which have not delivered their people out of my hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver His people out of my hand.'

jps@2Chronicles:32:18 @ And they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language unto the people of Jerusalem that were on the wall, to terrify them, and to affright them; that they might take the city.

jps@2Chronicles:32:19 @ And they spoke of the God of Jerusalem, as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men's hands.

jps@2Chronicles:32:20 @ And Hezekiah the king, and Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, prayed because of this, and cried to heaven.

jps@2Chronicles:32:21 @ And the LORD sent an angel, who cut off all the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and captains, in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came forth of his own bowels slew him there with the sword.

jps@2Chronicles:32:22 @ Thus the LORD saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria, and from the hand of all, and guided them on every side.

jps@2Chronicles:32:23 @ And many brought gifts unto the LORD to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah; so that he was exalted in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.

jps@2Chronicles:32:24 @ In those days Hezekiah was sick even unto death; and he prayed unto the LORD; and He spoke unto him, and gave him a sign.

jps@2Chronicles:32:25 @ But Hezekiah rendered not according to the benefit done unto him; for his heart was lifted up; therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem.

jps@2Chronicles:32:26 @ Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled himself for the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD came not upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

jps@2Chronicles:32:27 @ And Hezekiah had exceeding much riches and honour; and he provided him treasuries for silver, and for gold, and for precious stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for all manner of goodly vessels;

jps@2Chronicles:32:28 @ store-houses also for the increase of corn, and wine, and oil; and stalls for all manner of beasts, and flocks in folds.

jps@2Chronicles:32:29 @ Moreover he provided him cities, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance; for God had given him very much substance.

jps@2Chronicles:32:30 @ This same Hezekiah also stopped the upper spring of the waters of Gihon, and brought them straight down on the west side of the city of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his works.

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:32:33 @ And Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the ascent of the sepulchres of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem did him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his stead.

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:33:8 @ neither will I any more remove the foot of Israel from off the land which I have appointed for your fathers; if only they will observe to do all that I have commanded them, even all the law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.'

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:33:10 @ And the LORD spoke to Manasseh, and to his people; but they gave no heed.

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:33:21 @ Amon was twenty and two years old when he began to reign; and he reigned two years in Jerusalem.

jps@2Chronicles:33:22 @ And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD, as did Manasseh his father; and Amon sacrificed unto all the graven images which Manasseh his father had made, and served them.

jps@2Chronicles:33:23 @ And he humbled not himself before the LORD, as Manasseh his father had humbled himself; but this same Amon became guilty more and more.

jps@2Chronicles:33:24 @ And his servants conspired against him, and put him to death in his own house.

jps@2Chronicles:33:25 @ 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@2Chronicles:34:1 @ Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign; and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem.

jps@2Chronicles:34:2 @ And he did that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, and walked in the ways of David his father, and turned not aside to the right hand or to the left.

jps@2Chronicles:34:3 @ For in the eighth year of his reign, while he was yet young, he began to seek after the God of David his father; and in the twelfth year he began to purge Judah and Jerusalem from the high places, and the Asherim, and the graven images, and the molten images.

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:34:5 @ And he burnt the bones of the priests upon their altars, and purged Judah and Jerusalem.

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:34:8 @ Now in the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land, and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of the LORD his God.

jps@2Chronicles:34:9 @ And they came to Hilkiah the high priest, and delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the door, had gathered of the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, and of all the remnant of Israel, and of all Judah and Benjamin, and they returned to Jerusalem.

jps@2Chronicles:34:10 @ And they delivered it into the hand of the workmen that had the oversight of the house of the LORD; and the workmen that wrought in the house of the LORD gave it to mend and repair the house;

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

jps@Ezra:8:31 @ Then we departed from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem; and the hand of our God was upon us, and He delivered us from the hand of the enemy and lier-in-wait by the way.

jps@Ezra:9:2 @ For they have taken of their daughters for themselves and for their sons; so that the holy seed have mingled themselves with the peoples of the lands; yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath been first in this faithlessness.'

jps@Ezra:9:4 @ Then were assembled unto me every one that trembled at the words of the God of Israel, because of the faithlessness of them of the captivity; and I sat appalled until the evening offering.

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

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

jps@Ezra:9:8 @ And now for a little moment grace hath been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a nail in His holy place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us a little reviving in our bondage.

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

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

jps@Ezra:9:13 @ And after all that is come upon us for our evil deeds, and for our great guilt, seeing that Thou our God hast punished us less than our iniquities deserve, and hast given us such a remnant,

jps@Ezra:9:14 @ shall we again break Thy commandments, and make marriages with the peoples that do these abominations? wouldest not Thou be angry with us till Thou hadst consumed us, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape?

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

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

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

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

jps@Ezra:10:4 @ Arise; for the matter belongeth unto thee, and we are with thee; be of good courage, and do it.'

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

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

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

jps@Ezra:10:12 @ Then all the congregation answered and said with a loud voice: 'As thou hast said, so it is for us to do.

jps@Ezra:10:13 @ But the people are many, and it is a time of much rain, and we are not able to stand without, neither is this a work of one day or two; for we have greatly transgressed in this matter.

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:5:5 @ 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:5:7 @ Then answered Esther, and said: 'My petition and my request is--

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:5:13 @ 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:6:6 @ 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:6:11 @ 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: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:7:8 @ 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.

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:8:5 @ 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:8:16 @ The Jews had light and gladness, and joy and honour.

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:9:12 @ 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:9:14 @ 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@Job:1:4 @ And his sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one upon his day; and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

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

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

jps@Job:1:10 @ Hast not Thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions are increased in the land.

jps@Job:1:12 @ And the LORD said unto Satan: 'Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand.' So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.

jps@Job:1:13 @ And it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,

jps@Job:1:15 @ and the Sabeans made a raid, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.'

jps@Job:1:16 @ While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said: 'A fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.'

jps@Job:1:17 @ While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said: 'The Chaldeans set themselves in three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have taken them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.'

jps@Job:1:18 @ While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said: 'Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house;

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

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

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:13:8 @ Will ye show Him favour? Will ye contend for God?

jps@Job:13:9 @ Would it be good that He should search you out? Or as one mocketh a man, will ye mock Him?

jps@Job:13:11 @ Shall not His majesty terrify you, and His dread fall upon you?

jps@Job:13:13 @ Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.

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

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

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

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:13:28 @ 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:14:17 @ My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and Thou heapest up mine iniquity.

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:14:21 @ His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he regardeth them not.

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

jps@Job:15:4 @ Yea, thou doest away with fear, and impairest devotion before God.

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

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:15:19 @ Unto whom alone the land was given, and no stranger passed among them.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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:16:13 @ 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:16:14 @ He breaketh me with breach upon breach; He runneth upon me like a giant.

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

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

jps@Job: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:17:6 @ 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:17:9 @ Yet the righteous holdeth on his way, and he that hath clean hands waxeth stronger and stronger.

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:17:14 @ If I have said to corruption: 'Thou art my father', to the worm: 'Thou art my mother, and my sister';

jps@Job:18:2 @ How long will ye lay snares for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak.

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:18:11 @ Terrors shall overwhelm him on every side, and shall entrap him at his feet.

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

jps@Job:18:20 @ They that come after shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before are affrighted.

jps@Job:19:2 @ How long will ye vex my soul, and crush me with words?

jps@Job:19:10 @ He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone; and my hope hath He plucked up like a tree.

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

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

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

jps@Job:19:25 @ But as for me, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that He will witness at the last upon the dust;

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

jps@Job:20:26 @ 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:20:29 @ This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.

jps@Job:21:2 @ Hear diligently my speech; and let this be your consolations.

jps@Job:21:3 @ Suffer me, that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.

jps@Job:21:5 @ Turn unto me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.

jps@Job:21:6 @ Even when I remember I am affrighted, and horror hath taketh hold on my flesh.

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

jps@Job:21:11 @ They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.

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

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

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

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

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

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

jps@Job:21:31 @ But who shall declare his way to his face? And who shall repay him what he hath done?

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

jps@Job:22:16 @ Who were snatched away before their time, whose foundation was poured out as a stream;

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

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:22:28 @ 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:23:6 @ Would He contend with me in His great power? Nay; but He would give heed unto me.

jps@Job:23:7 @ There the upright might reason with Him; so should I be delivered for ever from my Judge.

jps@Job:23:9 @ On the left hand, when He doth work, but I cannot behold Him, He turneth Himself to the right hand, but I cannot see Him.

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

jps@Job:23:13 @ But He is at one with Himself, and who can turn Him? And what His soul desireth, even that He doeth.

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

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:24:18 @ 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:24:20 @ The womb forgetteth him; the worm feedeth sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and unrighteousness is broken as a tree.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

jps@Job:27:4 @ Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, neither shall my tongue utter deceit;

jps@Job:27:6 @ My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go; my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

jps@Job:27:9 @ Will God hear his cry, when trouble cometh upon him?

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

jps@Job:27:15 @ 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:28:2 @ Iron is taken out of the dust, and brass is molten out of the stone.

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

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

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

jps@Job:28:8 @ The proud beasts have not trodden it, nor hath the lion passed thereby.

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

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

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

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

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

jps@Job:29:9 @ The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth;

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

jps@Job:29:12 @ Because I delivered the poor that cried, the fatherless also, that had none to help him.

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:29:14 @ I put on righteousness, and it clothed itself with me; my justice was as a robe and a diadem.

jps@Job:29:19 @ My root shall be spread out to the waters, and the dew shall lie all night upon my branch;

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

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

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

jps@Job:30:7 @ Among the bushes they bray; under the nettles they are gathered together.

jps@Job:30:9 @ And now I am become their song, yea, I am a byword unto them.

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

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

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

jps@Job:30:29 @ I am become a brother to jackals, and a companion to ostriches.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

jps@Job:31:35 @ 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:31:39 @ If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the tillers thereof to be disappointed--

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

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

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

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

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:32:21 @ 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:33:7 @ Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.

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:33:14 @ 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:33:19 @ He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and all his bones grow stiff;

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

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

jps@Job:34:14 @ If He set His heart upon man, if He gather unto Himself his spirit and his breath;

jps@Job:34:17 @ Shall even one that hateth right govern? And wilt thou condemn Him that is just and mighty--

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

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

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

jps@Job:34:29 @ When He giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when He hideth His face, who then can behold Him? whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man, alike;

jps@Job:34:30 @ That the godless man reign not, that there be none to ensnare the people.

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

jps@Job:35:4 @ I will give thee answer, and thy companions with thee.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

jps@Job:36:9 @ Then He declareth unto them their work, and their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.

jps@Job:36:15 @ He delivereth the afflicted by His affliction, and openeth their ear by tribulation.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

jps@Job:37:6 @ 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:37:12 @ And they are turned round about by His guidance, that they may do whatsoever He commandeth them upon the face of the habitable world:

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

jps@Proverbs:30:14 @ There is a generation whose teeth are as swords, and their great teeth as knives, to devour the poor from off the earth, and the needy from among men.

jps@Proverbs:30:18 @ There are three things which are too wonderful for me, yea, four which I know not:

jps@Proverbs:30:19 @ The way of an eagle in the air; the way of a serpent upon a rock; the way of a ship in the midst of the sea; and the way of a man with a young woman.

jps@Proverbs:30:20 @ So is the way of an adulterous woman; she eateth, and wipeth her mouth, and saith: 'I have done no wickedness.'

jps@Proverbs:30:24 @ There are four things which are little upon the earth, but they are exceeding wise:

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

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:2:7 @ 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:2:10 @ 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:2:14 @ 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:2:16 @ 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:2:20 @ 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:2:23 @ 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:3:1 @ To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

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:4:1 @ But I returned and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun; and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power, but they had no comforter.

jps@Ecclesiastes:4:3 @ but better than they both is he that hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

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:4:8 @ 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?'

jps@Ecclesiastes:4:9 @ Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.

jps@Ecclesiastes:7:14 @ In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; God hath made even the one as well as the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him.

jps@Ecclesiastes:7:15 @ All things have I seen in the days of my vanity; there is a righteous man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his evil-doing.

jps@Ecclesiastes:7:18 @ It is good that thou shouldest take hold of the one; yea, also from the other withdraw not thy hand; for he that feareth God shall discharge himself of them all.

jps@Ecclesiastes:7:19 @ Wisdom is a stronghold to the wise man more than ten rulers that are in a city.

jps@Ecclesiastes:7:20 @ For there is not a righteous man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

jps@Ecclesiastes:7:25 @ I turned about, and applied my heart to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the reason of things, and to know wickedness to be folly, and foolishness to be madness;

jps@Ecclesiastes:8:9 @ All this have I seen, even applied my heart thereto, whatever the work that is done under the sun; what time one man had power over another to his hurt.

jps@Ecclesiastes:8:10 @ And so I saw the wicked buried, and they entered into their rest; but they that had done right went away from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city; this also is vanity.

jps@Ecclesiastes:8:11 @ Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil;

jps@Ecclesiastes:8:13 @ but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he feareth not before God.

jps@Ecclesiastes:8:14 @ There is a vanity which is done upon the earth: that there are righteous men, unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous--I said that this also is vanity.

jps@Ecclesiastes:8:16 @ When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth--for neither day nor night do men see sleep with their eyes--

jps@Ecclesiastes:8:17 @ then I beheld all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun; because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

jps@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @ All things come alike to all; there is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth and to him that sacrificeth not; as is the good, so is the sinner, and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.

jps@Ecclesiastes:9:3 @ This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event unto all; yea also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

jps@Ecclesiastes:9:4 @ For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

jps@Ecclesiastes:9:6 @ As well their love, as their hatred and their envy, is long ago perished; neither have they any more a portion for ever in any thing that is done under the sun.

jps@Ecclesiastes:9:9 @ Enjoy life with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which He hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity; for that is thy portion in life, and in thy labour wherein thou labourest under the sun.

jps@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @ I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

jps@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @ For man also knoweth not his time; as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

jps@Ecclesiastes:9:17 @ The words of the wise spoken in quiet are more acceptable than the cry of a ruler among fools.

jps@Ecclesiastes:9:18 @ Wisdom is better than weapons of war; but one sinner destroyeth much good.

jps@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @ Dead flies make the ointment of the perfumer fetid and putrid; so doth a little folly outweigh wisdom and honour.

jps@Ecclesiastes:10:3 @ Yea also, when a fool walketh by the way, his understanding faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.

jps@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @ If the iron be blunt, and one do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength; but wisdom is profitable to direct.

jps@Ecclesiastes:10:15 @ The labour of fools wearieth every one of them, for he knoweth not how to go to the city.

jps@Jeremiah:52:22 @ And a capital of brass was upon it; and the height of the one capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital round about, all of brass; and the second pillar also had like unto these, and pomegranates.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

jps@Daniel:8:22 @ 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:8:26 @ 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:9:4 @ And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made confession, and said: 'O Lord, the great and awful God, who keepest covenant and mercy with them that love Thee and keep Thy commandments,

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:9:7 @ 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:9:11 @ 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:9:17 @ 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:9:23 @ At the beginning of thy supplications a word went forth, and I am come to declare it; for thou art greatly beloved; therefore look into the word, and understand the vision.

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

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

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

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

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

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

jps@Daniel:10:7 @ 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:10:13 @ But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days; but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I was left over there beside the kings of Persia.

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

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

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

jps@Daniel:10:19 @ And he said: 'O man greatly beloved, fear not! peace be unto thee, be strong, yea, be strong.' And when he had spoken unto me, I was strengthened, and said: 'Let my lord speak; for thou hast strengthened me.'

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

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

jps@Daniel:11:13 @ And the king of the north shall again set forth a multitude, greater than the former; and he shall come on at the end of the times, even of years, with a great army and with much substance.

jps@Daniel:11:14 @ And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south; also the children of the violent among thy people shall lift themselves up to establish the vision; but they shall stumble.

jps@Daniel:11:16 @ But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall stand before him; and he shall stand in the beauteous land, and in his hand shall be extermination.

jps@Daniel:11:18 @ After this shall he set his face unto the isles, and shall take many; but a captain shall cause the reproach offered by him to cease; yea, he shall cause his own reproach to return upon him.

jps@Daniel:11:19 @ Then he shall turn his face toward the strongholds of his own land; but he shall stumble and fall, and shall not be found.

jps@Daniel:11:20 @ Then shall stand up in his place one that shall cause an exactor to pass through the glory of the kingdom; but within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.

jps@Daniel:11:21 @ And in his place shall stand up a contemptible person, upon whom had not been conferred the majesty of the kingdom; but he shall come in time of security, and shall obtain the kingdom by blandishments.

jps@Daniel:11:23 @ And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully; and he shall come up and become strong, with a little nation.

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:11:27 @ And as for both these kings, their hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper, for the end remaineth yet for the time appointed.

jps@Daniel:11:30 @ For ships of Kittim shall come against him, and he shall be cowed, and he shall return, and have indignation against the holy covenant, and shall do his pleasure; and he shall return, and have regard unto them that forsake the holy covenant.

jps@Daniel:11:31 @ And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall profane the sanctuary, even the stronghold, and shall take away the continual burnt-offering, and they shall set up the detestable thing that causeth appalment.

jps@Daniel:11:33 @ And they that are wise among the people shall cause the many to understand; yet they shall stumble by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil, many days.

jps@Daniel:11:35 @ And some of them that are wise shall stumble, to refine among them, and to purify, and to make white, even to the time of the end; for it is yet for the time appointed.

jps@Daniel:11:36 @ And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak strange things against the God of gods; and he shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished; for that which is determined shall be done.

jps@Daniel:11:38 @ But in his place shall he honour the god of strongholds; and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and costly things.

jps@Daniel:11:39 @ And he shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god; whom he shall acknowledge, shall increase glory; and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for a price.

jps@Daniel:11:41 @ He shall enter also into the beauteous land, and many countries shall be overthrown; but these shall be delivered out of his hand, Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.

jps@Daniel:11:42 @ He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries; and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

jps@Daniel:11:45 @ And he shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas and the beauteous holy mountain; and he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.

jps@Daniel:12:1 @ And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time; and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.

jps@Daniel:12:5 @ Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on the bank of the river on this side, and the other on the bank of the river on that side.

jps@Daniel:12:6 @ And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river: 'How long shall it be to the end of the wonders?'

jps@Daniel:12:10 @ Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined; but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand; but they that are wise shall understand.

jps@Daniel:12:11 @ And from the time that the continual burnt-offering shall be taken away, and the detestable thing that causes appalment set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

jps@Hosea:1:1 @ THE WORD of the LORD that came unto Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.
