jps@Esther:8:11 @ that the king had granted the Jews that were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, and to slay, and to cause to perish, all the forces of the people and province that would assault them, their little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,

jps@Esther:8:12 @ upon one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.

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

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

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

jps@Esther:9:3 @ And all the princes of the provinces, and the satraps, and the governors, and they that did the king's business, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai was fallen upon them.

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

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

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

jps@Esther:9:12 @ And the king said unto Esther the queen: 'The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the castle, and the ten sons of Haman; what then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces! Now whatever thy petition, it shall be granted thee; and whatever thy request further, it shall be done.'

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

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

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

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

jps@Esther:9:18 @ But the Jews that were in Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

jps@Esther:9:20 @ And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both nigh and far,

jps@Esther:9:24 @ because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast pur, that is, the lot, to discomfit them, and to destroy them;

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

jps@Esther:9:30 @ And he sent letters unto all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,

jps@Esther:10:1 @ And the king Ahasuerus laid a tribute upon the land, and upon the isles of the sea.

jps@Esther:10:3 @ For Mordecai the Jew was next unto king Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews, and accepted of the multitude of his brethren; seeking the good of his people and speaking peace to all his seed.

jps@Job:1:3 @ His possessions also were seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.

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:1:10 @ 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:1:13 @ 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:1:18 @ 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:1:19 @ And, behold, there came a great wind from across the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young people, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.'

jps@Job:2:3 @ And the LORD said unto Satan: 'Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a whole-hearted and an upright man, one that feareth God, and shunneth evil? and he still holdeth fast his integrity, although thou didst move Me against him, to destroy him without cause.'

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

jps@Job:2:12 @ And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and threw dust upon their heads toward heaven.

jps@Job:3:8 @ Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to rouse up leviathan.

jps@Job:3:10 @ Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid trouble from mine eyes.

jps@Job:6:29 @ Return, I pray you, let there be no injustice; yea, return again, my cause is righteous.

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

jps@Job:8:3 @ Doth God pervert judgment? Or doth the Almighty pervert justice?

jps@Job:8:6 @ If thou wert pure and upright; surely now He would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.

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

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

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

jps@Job:13:18 @ Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

jps@Job:20:19 @ For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor; he hath violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.

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

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

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

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

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

jps@Job:22:17 @ Who said unto God: 'Depart from us'; and what could the Almighty do unto them?

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

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

jps@Job:22:23 @ If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up--if thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents,

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

jps@Job:22:25 @ And the Almighty be thy treasure, and precious silver unto thee;

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

jps@Job:23:4 @ I would order my cause before Him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

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

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

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

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:24:22 @ He draweth away the mighty also by his power; he riseth up, and he trusteth not his own life.

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

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

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

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

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

jps@Job:27:16 @ Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;

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

jps@Job:27:18 @ He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth which the keeper maketh.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

jps@Job:31:25 @ If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gotten much;

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

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

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

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

jps@Job:32:4 @ Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were older than he.

jps@Job:32:16 @ And shall I wait, because they speak not, because they stand still, and answer no more?

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

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

jps@Job:33:26 @ He prayeth unto God, and He is favourable unto him; so that he seeth His face with joy; and He restoreth unto man his righteousness.

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

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

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

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

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

jps@Job:34:15 @ All flesh shall perish together, and man shall return unto dust.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

jps@Job:35:11 @ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?'

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

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

jps@Job:36:3 @ I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

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

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

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

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

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

jps@Job:38:11 @ And said: 'Thus far shalt thou come, but no further; and here shall thy proud waves be stayed'?

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

jps@Job:40:21 @ He lieth under the lotus-trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.

jps@Job:40:22 @ The lotus-trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.

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

jps@Job:41:20 @ Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot and burning rushes.

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

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