vw@Genesis:1:1 @ In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

vw@Genesis:1:2 @ And the earth was without form, and void, with darkness on the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.

vw@Genesis:1:3 @ Then God said, Let there be light! And there was light.

vw@Genesis:1:4 @ And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided between the light and darkness.

vw@Genesis:1:5 @ God called the light, Day; and the darkness He called, Night. Thus, the evening and the morning: Day One.

vw@Genesis:1:6 @ Then God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, separating the waters from the waters.

vw@Genesis:1:7 @ And God made the firmament, and separated the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: thus.

vw@Genesis:1:8 @ And God called the firmament, Heavens. Thus, the evening and the morning: Day Two.

vw@Genesis:1:9 @ Then God said, Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear: thus.

vw@Genesis:1:10 @ And God called the dry land, Earth; and the gathering together of the waters He called, Seas. And God saw that it was good.

vw@Genesis:1:11 @ And God said, Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and the fruit tree producing fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth: thus.

vw@Genesis:1:12 @ And the earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to its kind, and the tree producing fruit, whose seed is in itself according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

vw@Genesis:1:13 @ Thus, the evening and the morning: Day Three.

vw@Genesis:1:14 @ Then God said, Let there be luminaries in the firmament of the heavens, to distinguish the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years;

vw@Genesis:1:15 @ and let them be for luminaries in the firmament of the heavens to give light upon the earth: thus.

vw@Genesis:1:16 @ And God made two great luminaries: the greater luminary to rule the day, and the lesser luminary to rule the night, and also the stars.

vw@Genesis:1:17 @ And God set them in the firmament of the heavens to shine upon the earth,

vw@Genesis:1:18 @ and to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.

vw@Genesis:1:19 @ Thus, the evening and the morning: Day Four.

vw@Genesis:1:20 @ Then God said, Let the waters swarm with swarming living creatures, and let flying creatures fly to and fro above the earth across the face of the firmament of the heavens.

vw@Genesis:1:21 @ So God created great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, that swarmed in the waters according to their kind, and every winged flying creature according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

vw@Genesis:1:22 @ And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let the flying creatures multiply on the earth.

vw@Genesis:1:23 @ Thus, the evening and the morning: Day Five.

vw@Genesis:1:24 @ Then God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature according to its kind: beasts, creeping things and living things of the earth, each according to its kind: thus.

vw@Genesis:1:25 @ And God made the living things of the earth according to its kind, beasts according to its kind, and everything that creeps on the earth according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.

vw@Genesis:1:26 @ Then God said, Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the flying creatures of the heavens, and over the beasts, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that moves on the earth.

vw@Genesis:1:27 @ So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.

vw@Genesis:1:28 @ And God blessed them, and God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the flying creatures of the heavens, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.

vw@Genesis:1:29 @ And God said, Behold, I have given you every plant that yields seed which is on the face of all the earth, and every tree whose fruit yields seed; to you it shall be for food.

vw@Genesis:1:30 @ Also, to every living thing of the earth, to every flying creature of the heavens, and to everything that moves on the earth, living creatures, I have given the green plants for food: thus.

vw@Genesis:1:31 @ And God saw everything that He had made, and indeed it was extremely good. Thus, the evening and the morning: Day Six.

vw@Genesis:2:1 @ Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished.

vw@Genesis:2:2 @ And on the seventh day God completed His work which He had made, and He rested on the seventh day from all His work which He had made.

vw@Genesis:2:3 @ And God blessed the seventh day and consecrated it, because in it He rested from all His work which God had created and made.

vw@Genesis:2:4 @ These are the generations of the heavens and the earth when they were created, in the day that Jehovah God was making the earth and the heavens,

vw@Genesis:2:5 @ before any shrub of the field was on the earth and before any green plant of the field had sprouted; for Jehovah God had not caused it to rain on the earth, and there was no man to till the ground;

vw@Genesis:2:6 @ but a mist went up from the earth and watered the whole face of the ground.

vw@Genesis:2:7 @ And Jehovah God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

vw@Genesis:2:8 @ And Jehovah God planted a garden eastward in Eden, and there He put the man whom He had formed.

vw@Genesis:2:9 @ And out of the ground Jehovah God made to sprout every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The Tree of Life was also in the midst of the garden, and also the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

vw@Genesis:2:10 @ And a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it divided and became four heads.

vw@Genesis:2:11 @ The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which circles around all the land of Havilah, where there is gold;

vw@Genesis:2:12 @ and the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are there.

vw@Genesis:2:13 @ The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which circles around all the land of Cush.

vw@Genesis:2:14 @ The name of the third river is Tigris; it is the one going toward the east of Assyria. The fourth river is Euphrates.

vw@Genesis:2:15 @ Then Jehovah God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to work it and keep it.

vw@Genesis:2:16 @ And Jehovah God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden you may eat to feed;

vw@Genesis:2:17 @ but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall die the death.

vw@Genesis:2:18 @ And Jehovah God said, It is not good for the man to be alone; I will make him a helper to complement him.

vw@Genesis:2:19 @ Out of the ground Jehovah God formed every living thing of the field and every flying creature of the heavens, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And whatever the man called each living creature, that was its name.

vw@Genesis:2:20 @ So the man gave names to all the animals, to the flying creatures of the heavens, and to every living thing of the field. But for the man there was not found a helper to complement him.

vw@Genesis:2:21 @ And Jehovah God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and closed up the flesh in its place.

vw@Genesis:2:22 @ And the rib which Jehovah God had taken out of the man He rebuilt into a woman, and He brought her to the man.

vw@Genesis:2:23 @ And the man said: This now at last is bone from my bones and flesh from my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of man.

vw@Genesis:2:24 @ Therefore a man, leaving his father and mother, and having cleaved to his wife, they are one flesh.

vw@Genesis:2:25 @ And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.

vw@Genesis:3:1 @ Now the serpent was more cunning than any living thing of the field which Jehovah God had made. And he said to the woman, Has God indeed said, You shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

vw@Genesis:3:2 @ And the woman said to the serpent, We may eat the fruit of the trees of the garden;

vw@Genesis:3:3 @ but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God has said, You shall not eat it, nor shall you touch it, lest you die.

vw@Genesis:3:4 @ And the serpent said to the woman, You shall not die the death.

vw@Genesis:3:5 @ For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be as God, knowing good and evil.

vw@Genesis:3:6 @ So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.

vw@Genesis:3:7 @ And the eyes of both of them were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loin coverings.

vw@Genesis:3:8 @ And they heard the sound of Jehovah God walking around in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of Jehovah God among the trees of the garden.

vw@Genesis:3:9 @ And Jehovah God called to the man and said to him, Where are you?

vw@Genesis:3:10 @ And he said, I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.

vw@Genesis:3:11 @ And He said, Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?

vw@Genesis:3:12 @ And the man said, The woman whom You gave to be with me, she has given to me of the tree, and I ate.

vw@Genesis:3:13 @ And Jehovah God said to the woman, What is this you have done? And the woman said, The serpent deceived me, and I ate.

vw@Genesis:3:14 @ So Jehovah God said to the serpent: Because you have done this, you are cursed more than all beasts, and more than every living thing of the field; on your belly you shall go, and you shall eat dust all the days of your life.

vw@Genesis:3:15 @ And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her Seed; He shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise His heel.

vw@Genesis:3:16 @ To the woman He said: I will greatly multiply your sorrow and your conception; in pain you shall bring forth children; your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you.

vw@Genesis:3:17 @ And to Adam He said, Because you have heeded the voice of your wife, and have eaten from the tree of which I commanded you, saying, You shall not eat of it: Cursed is the ground for your sake; in toil you shall eat of it all the days of your life.

vw@Genesis:3:18 @ Both thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you, and you shall eat the plants of the field.

vw@Genesis:3:19 @ In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread till you return to the ground, for out of it you have been taken; for dust you are, and to dust you shall return.

vw@Genesis:3:20 @ And the man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living.

vw@Genesis:3:21 @ Also for the man and his wife Jehovah God made tunics of skins, and clothed them.

vw@Genesis:3:22 @ And Jehovah God said, Behold, the man has become as one of Us, to know good and evil. And now, that he not put forth his hand and take also of the Tree of Life, and eat, and live forever;

vw@Genesis:3:23 @ therefore Jehovah God sent him out of the garden of Eden to till the ground from which he was taken.

vw@Genesis:3:24 @ So He drove out the man; and He placed cherubim at the east of the Garden of Eden, and a flaming sword turning this way and that, to guard the way to the Tree of Life.

vw@Genesis:4:1 @ And the man knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, I have acquired a man from Jehovah.

vw@Genesis:4:2 @ And she bore again, his brother Abel. And Abel tended flocks, but Cain worked the ground.

vw@Genesis:4:3 @ And at the end of so many days it came to pass that Cain brought an offering of the fruit of the ground unto Jehovah.

vw@Genesis:4:4 @ Abel also brought of the firstborn of his flock and of their fat. And Jehovah had regard for Abel and his offering,

vw@Genesis:4:5 @ but He did not have regard for Cain and his offering. And Cain’s anger burned greatly, and his countenance fell.

vw@Genesis:4:6 @ So Jehovah said to Cain, Why does your anger burn? And why has your countenance fallen?

vw@Genesis:4:7 @ If you do well, is there not exaltation? And if you do not do well, sin is lying at the door. And its desire is for you, but you must rule over it.

vw@Genesis:4:8 @ Now Cain talked with Abel his brother; and it came to pass, when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.

vw@Genesis:4:9 @ And Jehovah said to Cain, Where is Abel your brother? He said, I do not know. Am I my brother’s keeper?

vw@Genesis:4:10 @ And He said, What have you done? The voice of your brother’s blood cries out to Me from the ground.

vw@Genesis:4:11 @ So now you are cursed from the ground, which has opened its mouth to receive your brother’s blood from your hand.

vw@Genesis:4:12 @ When you till the ground, it shall no longer yield its strength to you. A fugitive and a vagabond you shall be on the earth.

vw@Genesis:4:13 @ And Cain said to Jehovah, My punishment is greater than I can bear!

vw@Genesis:4:14 @ Behold, You have driven me out this day from the face of the ground; I shall be hidden from Your face; I shall be a fugitive and a vagabond on the earth, and it will happen that anyone who finds me will kill me.

vw@Genesis:4:15 @ And Jehovah said to him, Therefore, whoever kills Cain, vengeance shall be taken upon him sevenfold. And Jehovah set a mark on Cain, so that anyone finding him should not kill him.

vw@Genesis:4:16 @ And Cain went out from the presence of Jehovah and dwelt in the land of Nod, east of Eden.

vw@Genesis:4:17 @ And Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. And he built a city, and called the name of the city after the name of his son: Enoch.

vw@Genesis:4:18 @ To Enoch was born Irad; and Irad begot Mehujael, and Mehujael begot Methushael, and Methushael begot Lamech.

vw@Genesis:4:19 @ And Lamech took for himself two wives: the name of one was Adah, and the name of the second was Zillah.

vw@Genesis:4:20 @ And Adah bore Jabal: He was the father of those who dwell in tents and have livestock.

vw@Genesis:4:21 @ His brother’s name was Jubal: He was the father of all those who play the harp and flute.

vw@Genesis:4:22 @ And as for Zillah, she also bore Tubal-Cain: One hammering in every craft of bronze and iron. And the sister of Tubal-Cain was Naamah.

vw@Genesis:4:23 @ And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah: Hear my voice, you wives of Lamech, listen to my speech! For I have killed a man for wounding me, even a young man for striking me.

vw@Genesis:4:24 @ If Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.

vw@Genesis:4:25 @ And the man knew his wife again, and she bore a son and called his name: Seth, for God has appointed another seed for me instead of Abel; because Cain killed him.

vw@Genesis:4:26 @ And as for Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then they began to call upon the name of Jehovah.

vw@Genesis:5:1 @ This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God.

vw@Genesis:5:2 @ He created them male and female, and blessed them, and called their name Mankind in the day when they were created.

vw@Genesis:5:3 @ And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years, and begot a son in his own likeness, after his image, and called his name Seth.

vw@Genesis:5:4 @ After he begot Seth, the days of Adam were eight hundred years; and he begot sons and daughters.

vw@Genesis:5:5 @ So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.

vw@Genesis:5:6 @ Seth lived one hundred and five years, and begot Enosh.

vw@Genesis:5:7 @ After he begot Enosh, Seth lived eight hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters.

vw@Genesis:5:8 @ So all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died.

vw@Genesis:5:9 @ Enosh lived ninety years, and begot Cainan.

vw@Genesis:5:10 @ After he begot Cainan, Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years, and begot sons and daughters.

vw@Genesis:5:11 @ So all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years; and he died.

vw@Genesis:5:12 @ Cainan lived seventy years, and begot Mahalalel.

vw@Genesis:5:13 @ After he begot Mahalalel, Cainan lived eight hundred and forty years, and begot sons and daughters.

vw@Genesis:5:14 @ So all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years; and he died.

vw@Genesis:5:15 @ Mahalalel lived sixty-five years, and begot Jared.

vw@Genesis:5:16 @ After he begot Jared, Mahalalel lived eight hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters.

vw@Genesis:5:17 @ So all the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred and ninety-five years; and he died.

vw@Genesis:5:18 @ Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and begot Enoch.

vw@Genesis:5:19 @ After he begot Enoch, Jared lived eight hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.

vw@Genesis:5:20 @ So all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years; and he died.

vw@Genesis:5:21 @ Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah.

vw@Genesis:5:22 @ After he begot Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.

vw@Genesis:5:23 @ So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.

vw@Genesis:5:24 @ And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God carried him away.

vw@Genesis:5:25 @ Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, and begot Lamech.

vw@Genesis:5:26 @ After he begot Lamech, Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years, and begot sons and daughters.

vw@Genesis:5:27 @ So all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died.

vw@Genesis:5:28 @ Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and begot a son.

vw@Genesis:5:29 @ And he called his name Noah, saying, This one will comfort us concerning our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground which Jehovah has cursed.

vw@Genesis:5:30 @ After he begot Noah, Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years, and begot sons and daughters.

vw@Genesis:5:31 @ So all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years; and he died.

vw@Genesis:5:32 @ And Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah begot Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

vw@Genesis:6:1 @ Now it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them,

vw@Genesis:6:2 @ that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were pleasing; and they took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.

vw@Genesis:6:3 @ And Jehovah said, My Spirit shall not continually strive with man, for indeed it is in flesh to sin; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.

vw@Genesis:6:4 @ There were giants on the earth in those days. And also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them, these were the mighty men from antiquity, men of renown.

vw@Genesis:6:5 @ And Jehovah saw that the evil of man was great on the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil all day long.

vw@Genesis:6:6 @ And Jehovah regretted that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved to His heart.

vw@Genesis:6:7 @ And Jehovah said, I will obliterate man whom I have created from off the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and flying creatures of the heavens, for I regret having made them.

vw@Genesis:6:8 @ But Noah found favor in the eyes of Jehovah.

vw@Genesis:6:9 @ These are the generations of Noah. Noah was a just man, perfect in his generation. Noah walked with God.

vw@Genesis:6:10 @ And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

vw@Genesis:6:11 @ The earth also was corrupt before God, and the earth was filled with violence.

vw@Genesis:6:12 @ And God looked upon the earth, and behold it was corrupt; for all flesh had corrupted their way upon the earth.

vw@Genesis:6:13 @ And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come before Me, for the earth is filled with violence through them; and behold, I will destroy them along with the earth.

vw@Genesis:6:14 @ Make yourself an ark of gopherwood; make rooms in the ark, and cover it inside and out with pitch.

vw@Genesis:6:15 @ And this is how you shall make it: The length of the ark shall be three hundred cubits, its width fifty cubits, and its height thirty cubits.

vw@Genesis:6:16 @ You shall make a window for the ark, and you shall finish it to a cubit from above; and set the door of the ark in its side. You shall make it with lower, second, and third levels.

vw@Genesis:6:17 @ And behold I, even I, am bringing a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy from under the heavens all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything that is on the earth shall die.

vw@Genesis:6:18 @ And I will establish My covenant with you; and you shall go into the ark; you, your sons, your wife, and your sons’ wives with you.

vw@Genesis:6:19 @ And of every living thing of all flesh you shall bring two of every kind into the ark, to keep them alive with you; they shall be male and female.

vw@Genesis:6:20 @ Of flying creatures after their kind, of animals after their kind, and of every creeping thing of the earth after its kind, two of every kind will come in to you, to keep them alive.

vw@Genesis:6:21 @ And take for yourself of all food that is eaten, and gather it to yourself; and it shall be food for you and for them.

vw@Genesis:6:22 @ Thus Noah did; according to all that God commanded him, so he did.

vw@Genesis:7:1 @ And Jehovah said to Noah, Come into the ark, you and all your house, for I have seen you as being righteous before Me in this generation.

vw@Genesis:7:2 @ You shall take unto you of every clean animal seven and seven, a male and his female; and two each of animals that are not clean, a male and his female;

vw@Genesis:7:3 @ also seven and seven of the flying creatures of the heavens, male and female, to keep seed alive on the face of all the earth.

vw@Genesis:7:4 @ For after seven more days I will cause it to rain on the earth forty days and forty nights, and I will obliterate from off the face of the earth all living substance that I have made.

vw@Genesis:7:5 @ And Noah did according to all that Jehovah commanded him.

vw@Genesis:7:6 @ Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.

vw@Genesis:7:7 @ So Noah, with his sons, his wife, and his sons’ wives, went into the ark because of the waters of the flood.

vw@Genesis:7:8 @ Of clean animals, of animals that are not clean, of flying creatures, and of everything that moves upon the earth,

vw@Genesis:7:9 @ two by two they went into the ark to Noah, male and female, as God had commanded Noah.

vw@Genesis:7:10 @ And it came to pass after seven days that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.

vw@Genesis:7:11 @ In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep were broken up, and the windows of the heavens were opened.

vw@Genesis:7:12 @ And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.

vw@Genesis:7:13 @ On the very same day Noah and Noah’s sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth, and Noah’s wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark;

vw@Genesis:7:14 @ they and every living thing after its kind, all animals after their kind, every creeping thing that moves on the earth after its kind, and every flying creature after its kind, every bird of every wing.

vw@Genesis:7:15 @ And they went into the ark to Noah, two by two, of all flesh in which is the breath of life.

vw@Genesis:7:16 @ So those that entered, male and female of all flesh, went in as God had commanded him. And Jehovah shut him in.

vw@Genesis:7:17 @ And the flood was on the earth forty days. The waters increased and lifted up the ark, and it was high above the earth.

vw@Genesis:7:18 @ The waters prevailed and greatly increased upon the earth, and the ark moved about upon the surface of the waters.

vw@Genesis:7:19 @ And the waters prevailed with abundant force upon the earth, and all the high hills under the heavens were covered.

vw@Genesis:7:20 @ The waters prevailed fifteen cubits upward, and the mountains were covered.

vw@Genesis:7:21 @ And all flesh died that moved on the earth: flying creatures and animals and living things and every creeping thing that moves on the earth, and every man.

vw@Genesis:7:22 @ All in whose nostrils was the breath of the spirit of life, all that was on the dry land, died.

vw@Genesis:7:23 @ So He obliterated all living substance which was on the face of the ground: both man and animal, creeping thing and flying creatures of the heavens. They were obliterated from off the earth. Only Noah and those who were with him in the ark were left alive.

vw@Genesis:7:24 @ And the waters prevailed upon the earth one hundred and fifty days.

vw@Genesis:8:1 @ And God remembered Noah, and every living thing, and all the animals that were with him in the ark. And God made a wind to pass over the earth, and the waters subsided.

vw@Genesis:8:2 @ The fountains of the deep and the windows of the heavens were also stopped, and the rain from the heavens was restrained.

vw@Genesis:8:3 @ And the waters receded from the earth, going out and coming back. At the end of the hundred and fifty days the waters were decreased.

vw@Genesis:8:4 @ And the ark rested in the seventh month, the seventeenth day of the month, on the mountains of Ararat.

vw@Genesis:8:5 @ And the waters continued to go and decrease until the tenth month. In the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains were seen.

vw@Genesis:8:6 @ And it came to pass, at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made.

vw@Genesis:8:7 @ And he sent out a raven, which kept going to and fro until the waters had dried up from off the earth.

vw@Genesis:8:8 @ He also sent out from himself a dove, to see if the waters had receded from off the face of the ground.

vw@Genesis:8:9 @ But the dove found no resting place for the sole of her foot, and she returned into the ark to him, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth. So he put out his hand and took her, and drew her into the ark to himself.

vw@Genesis:8:10 @ And he waited yet another seven days, and again he sent the dove out from the ark.

vw@Genesis:8:11 @ And the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, a freshly plucked olive leaf was in her mouth; so Noah knew that the waters had receded from off the earth.

vw@Genesis:8:12 @ So he waited yet another seven days and sent out the dove, which did not return again to him anymore.

vw@Genesis:8:13 @ And it came to pass in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, that the waters were dried up from off the earth; and Noah removed the covering of the ark and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dry.

vw@Genesis:8:14 @ And in the second month, on the twenty-seventh day of the month, the earth was dried.

vw@Genesis:8:15 @ And God spoke to Noah, saying,

vw@Genesis:8:16 @ Go out from the ark, you and your wife, and your sons and your sons’ wives with you.

vw@Genesis:8:17 @ Bring out with you every living thing of all flesh that is with you: flying creatures and animals and every creeping thing that moves on the earth, so that they may swarm on the earth, and be fruitful and multiply upon the earth.

vw@Genesis:8:18 @ So Noah went out, and his sons and his wife and his sons’ wives with him.

vw@Genesis:8:19 @ Every living thing, every creeping thing, every flying creature, and everything that moves on the earth, according to their kind, went out of the ark.

vw@Genesis:8:20 @ And Noah built an altar unto Jehovah, and took of every clean animal and of every clean bird, and offered burnt offerings on the altar.

vw@Genesis:8:21 @ And Jehovah smelled a soothing aroma. And Jehovah said in His heart, I will never again curse the ground because of man, although the imagination of man’s heart is evil from his youth; nor will I again smite every living thing as I have done.

vw@Genesis:8:22 @ While the earth remains, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

vw@Genesis:9:1 @ So God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them: Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth.

vw@Genesis:9:2 @ And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every living thing of the earth, upon every flying creature of the heavens, upon everything that moves on the earth, and upon all the fish of the sea. They have been entrusted into your hand.

vw@Genesis:9:3 @ Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. I have designated all things for you, even as the green plants.

vw@Genesis:9:4 @ But you shall not eat flesh with its soul, that is, its blood.

vw@Genesis:9:5 @ Surely the blood of your souls will I require; at the hand of every living thing will I require it, and at the hand of man. At the hand of every man’s brother I will require the soul of man.

vw@Genesis:9:6 @ Whoever sheds man’s blood, by man his blood shall be shed; for in the image of God He made man.

vw@Genesis:9:7 @ And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; swarm in the earth and multiply in it.

vw@Genesis:9:8 @ And God spoke to Noah and to his sons with him, saying:

vw@Genesis:9:9 @ And as for Me, behold, I establish My covenant with you and with your seed after you,

vw@Genesis:9:10 @ and with every living creature that is with you: the flying creatures, the animals, and every living thing of the earth with you, of all that go out of the ark, every living thing of the earth.

vw@Genesis:9:11 @ Thus I have established My covenant with you: Never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of a flood; never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.

vw@Genesis:9:12 @ And God said, This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you, and every living creature that is with you, for perpetual generations:

vw@Genesis:9:13 @ I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth.

vw@Genesis:9:14 @ It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud;

vw@Genesis:9:15 @ and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh.

vw@Genesis:9:16 @ The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look upon it to remember the perpetual covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.

vw@Genesis:9:17 @ And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is upon the earth.

vw@Genesis:9:18 @ Now the sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And Ham was the father of Canaan.

vw@Genesis:9:19 @ These three were the sons of Noah, and from these they scattered throughout the whole earth.

vw@Genesis:9:20 @ And Noah began to be a man of the land, and he planted a vineyard.

vw@Genesis:9:21 @ Then he drank of the wine and was drunk, and was uncovered in his tent.

vw@Genesis:9:22 @ And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside.

vw@Genesis:9:23 @ But Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and went backward and covered the nakedness of their father. Their faces were backward, and they did not see the nakedness of their father.

vw@Genesis:9:24 @ And Noah awoke from his wine, and perceived what his younger son had done to him.

vw@Genesis:9:25 @ And he said: Cursed is Canaan; a servant of servants he shall be to his brethren.

vw@Genesis:9:26 @ And he said: Blessed is Jehovah the God of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

vw@Genesis:9:27 @ God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.

vw@Genesis:9:28 @ And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years.

vw@Genesis:9:29 @ So all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.

vw@Genesis:10:1 @ Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood.

vw@Genesis:10:2 @ The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras.

vw@Genesis:10:3 @ The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah.

vw@Genesis:10:4 @ The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim.

vw@Genesis:10:5 @ From these the regions of the nations were separated into their lands, everyone according to their tongue, according to their families, into their nations.

vw@Genesis:10:6 @ The sons of Ham were Cush, Mizraim, Put, and Canaan.

vw@Genesis:10:7 @ The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan.

vw@Genesis:10:8 @ And Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.

vw@Genesis:10:9 @ He was a mighty hunter before Jehovah; therefore it is said, Like Nimrod the mighty hunter before Jehovah.

vw@Genesis:10:10 @ And the beginning of his kingdom was Babel, Erech, Accad, and Calneh, in the land of Shinar.

vw@Genesis:10:11 @ From that land he went forth to Assyria and built Nineveh, the city of Rehoboth and Calah,

vw@Genesis:10:12 @ and Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which was a large city.

vw@Genesis:10:13 @ Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim,

vw@Genesis:10:14 @ Pathrusim, and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines), and Caphtorim.

vw@Genesis:10:15 @ Canaan begot Sidon his firstborn, and Heth;

vw@Genesis:10:16 @ the Jebusite, the Amorite, and the Girgashite;

vw@Genesis:10:17 @ the Hivite, the Arkite, and the Sinite;

vw@Genesis:10:18 @ the Arvadite, the Zemarite, and the Hamathite. Afterward the families of the Canaanites were scattered.

vw@Genesis:10:19 @ And the border of the Canaanites was from Sidon as you go toward Gerar, as far as Gaza; then as you go toward Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim, as far as Lasha.

vw@Genesis:10:20 @ These were the sons of Ham, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands and in their nations.

vw@Genesis:10:21 @ And to Shem also, the older brother of Japheth, and father of all the sons of Eber, sons were born.

vw@Genesis:10:22 @ The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram.

vw@Genesis:10:23 @ The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.

vw@Genesis:10:24 @ Arphaxad begot Salah, and Salah begot Eber.

vw@Genesis:10:25 @ To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.

vw@Genesis:10:26 @ Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah,

vw@Genesis:10:27 @ Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah,

vw@Genesis:10:28 @ Obal, Abimael, Sheba,

vw@Genesis:10:29 @ Ophir, Havilah, and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.

vw@Genesis:10:30 @ And their dwelling place was from Mesha, as you go toward Sephar, a mountain in the east.

vw@Genesis:10:31 @ These were the sons of Shem, according to their families, according to their tongues, in their lands, according to their nations.

vw@Genesis:10:32 @ These were the families of the sons of Noah, according to their generations, in their nations; and from these the nations were divided on the earth after the flood.

vw@Genesis:11:1 @ Now the whole earth was of one language and one speech.

vw@Genesis:11:2 @ And it came to pass, as they journeyed from the east, that they found a level valley in the land of Shinar, and they dwelt there.

vw@Genesis:11:3 @ Then they said to one another, Come, let us make bricks and burn them with burning. They had brick for stone, and they had asphalt for mortar.

vw@Genesis:11:4 @ And they said, Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower whose top is in the heavens; let us make a name for ourselves, that we not be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth.

vw@Genesis:11:5 @ And Jehovah came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.

vw@Genesis:11:6 @ And Jehovah said, Behold, the people are one and they all have one language, and this is what they begin to do; now nothing that they devise to do will be withheld from them.

vw@Genesis:11:7 @ Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they cannot understand one another’s speech.

vw@Genesis:11:8 @ So Jehovah scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.

vw@Genesis:11:9 @ Therefore its name is called Babel, because there Jehovah confused the language of all the earth; and from there Jehovah scattered them abroad over the face of all the earth.

vw@Genesis:11:10 @ These are the generations of Shem: Shem was one hundred years old, and begot Arphaxad two years after the flood.

vw@Genesis:11:11 @ After he begot Arphaxad, Shem lived five hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.

vw@Genesis:11:12 @ Arphaxad lived thirty-five years, and begot Salah.

vw@Genesis:11:13 @ After he begot Salah, Arphaxad lived four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters.

vw@Genesis:11:14 @ Salah lived thirty years, and begot Eber.

vw@Genesis:11:15 @ After he begot Eber, Salah lived four hundred and three years, and begot sons and daughters.

vw@Genesis:11:16 @ Eber lived thirty-four years, and begot Peleg.

vw@Genesis:11:17 @ After he begot Peleg, Eber lived four hundred and thirty years, and begot sons and daughters.

vw@Genesis:11:18 @ Peleg lived thirty years, and begot Reu.

vw@Genesis:11:19 @ After he begot Reu, Peleg lived two hundred and nine years, and begot sons and daughters.

vw@Genesis:11:20 @ Reu lived thirty-two years, and begot Serug.

vw@Genesis:11:21 @ After he begot Serug, Reu lived two hundred and seven years, and begot sons and daughters.

vw@Genesis:11:22 @ Serug lived thirty years, and begot Nahor.

vw@Genesis:11:23 @ After he begot Nahor, Serug lived two hundred years, and begot sons and daughters.

vw@Genesis:11:24 @ Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and begot Terah.

vw@Genesis:11:25 @ After he begot Terah, Nahor lived one hundred and nineteen years, and begot sons and daughters.

vw@Genesis:11:26 @ Now Terah lived seventy years, and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

vw@Genesis:11:27 @ These are the generations of Terah: Terah begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran. Haran begot Lot.

vw@Genesis:11:28 @ And Haran died before his father Terah in his native land, in Ur of the Chaldeans.

vw@Genesis:11:29 @ And Abram and Nahor took wives: the name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and the father of Iscah.

vw@Genesis:11:30 @ But Sarai was barren; she had no child.

vw@Genesis:11:31 @ And Terah took his son Abram and his grandson Lot, the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, his son Abram’s wife, and they went out with them from Ur of the Chaldeans to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran and dwelt there.

vw@Genesis:11:32 @ And the days of Terah were two hundred and five years, and Terah died in Haran.

vw@Genesis:12:1 @ Now Jehovah said to Abram: Depart from your land, from your kindred and from your father’s house, to a land that I will show you.

vw@Genesis:12:2 @ I will make of you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great; and you shall be a blessing.

vw@Genesis:12:3 @ I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse him who despises you; and in you all families of the earth shall be blessed.

vw@Genesis:12:4 @ So Abram departed as Jehovah had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran.

vw@Genesis:12:5 @ And Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother’s son, and all their possessions that they had collected, and the souls they had acquired in Haran, and they departed to go into the land of Canaan. So they came into the land of Canaan.

vw@Genesis:12:6 @ And Abram passed through the land to the place of Shechem, to the plain of Moreh. And the Canaanites were then in the land.

vw@Genesis:12:7 @ And Jehovah appeared to Abram and said, To your seed I will give this land. And there he built an altar unto Jehovah, who appeared to him.

vw@Genesis:12:8 @ And he moved from there to the mountain east of Bethel, and he pitched his tent with Bethel toward the sea and Ai on the east. There he built an altar unto Jehovah and called upon the name of Jehovah.

vw@Genesis:12:9 @ And Abram journeyed, proceeding to journey toward the south.

vw@Genesis:12:10 @ Now there was a famine in the land, and Abram went down to Egypt to sojourn there, for the famine was heavy in the land.

vw@Genesis:12:11 @ And it came to pass, when he was close to entering Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, Behold, I know that you are a beautiful woman to look at.

vw@Genesis:12:12 @ And it will happen, when the Egyptians see you, that they will say, This is his wife; and they will kill me, but they will let you live.

vw@Genesis:12:13 @ Please say that you are my sister, that it may be well with me for your sake, and my soul shall live because of you.

vw@Genesis:12:14 @ And it came to pass when Abram came into Egypt, that the Egyptians saw the woman, that she was very beautiful.

vw@Genesis:12:15 @ The princes of Pharaoh also saw her and commended her to Pharaoh. And the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.

vw@Genesis:12:16 @ He dealt well with Abram because of her; and he had sheep, oxen, male donkeys, male and female servants, female donkeys, and camels.

vw@Genesis:12:17 @ And Jehovah struck Pharaoh and his house with great plagues because of the matter of Sarai, Abram’s wife.

vw@Genesis:12:18 @ And Pharaoh summoned Abram and said, What is this that you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?

vw@Genesis:12:19 @ Why did you say, She is my sister? And so I took her to be my wife. Now therefore, here is your wife; take her and depart.

vw@Genesis:12:20 @ And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him; and they sent him away, with his wife and all that he had.

vw@Genesis:13:1 @ And Abram went up from Egypt, he and his wife and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South.

vw@Genesis:13:2 @ And Abram was very rich in livestock, in silver, and in gold.

vw@Genesis:13:3 @ And he went on his journey from the South as far as Bethel, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Ai,

vw@Genesis:13:4 @ to the place of the altar which he had made there at first. And there Abram called upon the name of Jehovah.

vw@Genesis:13:5 @ Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks and herds and tents.

vw@Genesis:13:6 @ And the land was not able to support them, that they might dwell together, for their possessions were so great that they could not dwell together.

vw@Genesis:13:7 @ And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s livestock and the herdsmen of Lot’s livestock. The Canaanites and the Perizzites then dwelt in the land.

vw@Genesis:13:8 @ And Abram said to Lot, Please let there be no strife between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we men are brothers.

vw@Genesis:13:9 @ Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me. If you take the left, then I will go to the right; or, if you go to the right, then I will go to the left.

vw@Genesis:13:10 @ And Lot lifted up his eyes and saw all the area around Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere (before Jehovah destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah) like the garden of Jehovah, like the land of Egypt as you go toward Zoar.

vw@Genesis:13:11 @ Then Lot chose for himself all the area around Jordan, and Lot journeyed east. And they separated each from the other.

vw@Genesis:13:12 @ Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt around the cities, and pitched his tent even as far as Sodom.

vw@Genesis:13:13 @ But the men of Sodom were exceedingly evil and sinful before Jehovah.

vw@Genesis:13:14 @ And after Lot had separated from him, Jehovah said to Abram: Lift up your eyes now and look from the place where you are, northward, southward, eastward, and westward;

vw@Genesis:13:15 @ for all the land which you see I give to you and your seed in perpetuity.

vw@Genesis:13:16 @ And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth; so that if a man could count the dust of the earth, then your seed also could be numbered.

vw@Genesis:13:17 @ Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you.

vw@Genesis:13:18 @ Then Abram moved his tent, and went and dwelt by the plain of Mamre in Hebron, and built an altar there unto Jehovah.

vw@Genesis:14:1 @ And it came to pass in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of nations,

vw@Genesis:14:2 @ that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (which is Zoar).

vw@Genesis:14:3 @ All these joined together in the Valley of Siddim (which is the Salt Sea).

vw@Genesis:14:4 @ Twelve years they served Chedorlaomer, and in the thirteenth year they rebelled.

vw@Genesis:14:5 @ In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him came and struck the giants in Ashteroth Karnaim, the Zuzim in Ham, the Emim in Shaveh Kirjathaim,

vw@Genesis:14:6 @ and the Horites in their mountains of Seir, as far as El Paran, which is by the wilderness.

vw@Genesis:14:7 @ Then they turned back and came to En Mishpat (which is Kadesh), and struck all the land of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites who dwelt in Hazezon Tamar.

vw@Genesis:14:8 @ And the king of Sodom, the king of Gomorrah, the king of Admah, the king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (which is Zoar) went out and set in battle array in the Valley of Siddim

vw@Genesis:14:9 @ against Chedorlaomer king of Elam, Tidal king of nations, Amraphel king of Shinar, and Arioch king of Ellasar; four kings against five.

vw@Genesis:14:10 @ Now the Valley of Siddim was pitted with asphalt pits; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled; some fell there, and the remainder fled to the mountains.

vw@Genesis:14:11 @ And they took all the property of Sodom and Gomorrah, and all their food, and went their way.

vw@Genesis:14:12 @ They also took Lot, the son of Abram’s brother, who dwelt in Sodom, and his possessions, and departed.

vw@Genesis:14:13 @ And one who had escaped came and told Abram the Hebrew, for he dwelt by the plain of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner; and they were allies with Abram.

vw@Genesis:14:14 @ And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he led out his trained three hundred and eighteen who were born in his own house, and went in pursuit as far as Daniel.

vw@Genesis:14:15 @ And they split up by night, he and his servants, and struck them and pursued them as far as Hobah, which is north of Damascus.

vw@Genesis:14:16 @ And he brought back all the property, and also brought back his brother Lot and his possessions, as well as the women and the people.

vw@Genesis:14:17 @ And the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the Valley of Shaveh (which is the King’s Valley), after his return from smiting Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him.

vw@Genesis:14:18 @ And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; and he was the priest of the Most High God.

vw@Genesis:14:19 @ And he blessed him and said: Blessed is Abram of the Most High God, Possessor of Heaven and earth;

vw@Genesis:14:20 @ and blessed is the Most High God, who has delivered your enemies into your hand. And he gave him a tithe of all.

vw@Genesis:14:21 @ And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the souls, and take the property for yourself.

vw@Genesis:14:22 @ But Abram said to the king of Sodom, I have raised my hand to Jehovah the Most High God, possessor of the heavens and earth,

vw@Genesis:14:23 @ that I will take nothing, from a thread to a sandal strap, and that I will not take anything that is yours, that you may not say, I have made Abram rich;

vw@Genesis:14:24 @ except only what the young men have eaten, and the portion of the men who went with me: Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their portion.

vw@Genesis:15:1 @ After these things the Word of Jehovah came unto Abram in a vision, saying, Do not be afraid, Abram. I am your shield, your exceedingly great reward.

vw@Genesis:15:2 @ And Abram said, Lord Jehovah, what will You give me, seeing I go childless, and the son of the inheritance of my house is this Eliezer of Damascus?

vw@Genesis:15:3 @ And Abram said, Behold, You have given me no seed; and lo, a son of my house inherits from me.

vw@Genesis:15:4 @ And behold, the Word of Jehovah came unto him, saying, This one shall not inherit from you, but one who shall come forth from your own body shall inherit from you.

vw@Genesis:15:5 @ And He brought him outside and said, Look now toward the heavens, and count the stars if you are able to number them. And He said unto him, So shall your seed be.

vw@Genesis:15:6 @ And he believed in Jehovah, and He accounted it unto him for righteousness.

vw@Genesis:15:7 @ And He said unto him, I am Jehovah, who brought you out of Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to inherit it.

vw@Genesis:15:8 @ And he said, Lord Jehovah, how shall I know that I shall inherit it?

vw@Genesis:15:9 @ And He said unto him, Take for Me a three year old heifer, a three year old female goat, a three year old ram, a turtledove, and a young pigeon.

vw@Genesis:15:10 @ And he took all these for Him and cut them in two, down the middle, and put each piece against each other; but he did not cut the birds in two.

vw@Genesis:15:11 @ And when the birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, Abram drove them away.

vw@Genesis:15:12 @ And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and behold, terror and great darkness fell upon him.

vw@Genesis:15:13 @ And He said to Abram: Consider to know that your seed shall be sojourners in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years.

vw@Genesis:15:14 @ And I will also judge the nation whom they serve; and afterward they shall come out with great possessions.

vw@Genesis:15:15 @ And as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age.

vw@Genesis:15:16 @ But in the fourth generation they shall return here; for the iniquity of the Amorites is not yet complete.

vw@Genesis:15:17 @ And it came to pass, when the sun had gone down and it was dark, that behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a burning torch that passed between those pieces.

vw@Genesis:15:18 @ On that day Jehovah made a covenant with Abram, saying: To your seed I have given this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the River Euphrates;

vw@Genesis:15:19 @ the Kenites, the Kenizzites, the Kadmonites,

vw@Genesis:15:20 @ the Hittites, the Perizzites, the giants,

vw@Genesis:15:21 @ the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Girgashites, and the Jebusites.

vw@Genesis:16:1 @ Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. And she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar.

vw@Genesis:16:2 @ And Sarai said to Abram, See now, Jehovah has restrained me from bearing. Please, go in to my maid; perhaps I shall build up a family by her. And Abram heeded the voice of Sarai.

vw@Genesis:16:3 @ And Sarai, Abram’s wife, took Hagar her maidservant, the Egyptian, and gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife, after Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of Canaan.

vw@Genesis:16:4 @ And he went in to Hagar, and she conceived. And when she saw that she had conceived, her mistress was despised in her eyes.

vw@Genesis:16:5 @ And Sarai said to Abram, My injustice be upon you! I gave my maid into your bosom; and when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her eyes. Jehovah judge between me and you.

vw@Genesis:16:6 @ But Abram said to Sarai, Behold, your maid is in your hand; do to her as is good in your eyes. And when Sarai dealt harshly with her, she fled from her presence.

vw@Genesis:16:7 @ And the Angel of Jehovah found her by a spring of water in the wilderness, by the spring on the way to Shur.

vw@Genesis:16:8 @ And He said, Hagar, Sarai’s maidservant, where have you come from, and where are you going? She said, I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai.

vw@Genesis:16:9 @ And the Angel of Jehovah said to her, Return to your mistress, and submit yourself under her hand.

vw@Genesis:16:10 @ And the Angel of Jehovah said unto her, I will multiply your seed exceedingly, so that they shall not be numbered for multitude.

vw@Genesis:16:11 @ And the Angel of Jehovah said unto her: Behold, you are with child, and you shall bear a son. You shall call his name Ishmael, because Jehovah has heard your affliction.

vw@Genesis:16:12 @ He shall be a wild ass of a man; his hand shall be against every man, and every man’s hand against him. And he shall dwell in the presence of all his brethren.

vw@Genesis:16:13 @ And she called the name of Jehovah who spoke to her, God-Who-Sees; for she said, Have I also here looked upon Him who sees me?

vw@Genesis:16:14 @ Therefore the well was called Beer Lahai Roi. Behold, it is between Kadesh and Bered.

vw@Genesis:16:15 @ And Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

vw@Genesis:16:16 @ And Abram was eighty-six years old when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram.

vw@Genesis:17:1 @ And when Abram was ninety-nine years old, Jehovah appeared to Abram and said to him, I am the Almighty God! Walk before Me and be perfect;

vw@Genesis:17:2 @ and I will make My covenant between Me and you, and will multiply you exceedingly abundantly.

vw@Genesis:17:3 @ And Abram fell on his face, and God spoke with him, saying:

vw@Genesis:17:4 @ As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, and you shall be a father of many nations.

vw@Genesis:17:5 @ No longer shall your name be called Abram, but your name shall be Abraham; for I have made you a father of many nations.

vw@Genesis:17:6 @ I will make you abundantly exceedingly fruitful; and I will make nations of you, and kings shall come forth from you.

vw@Genesis:17:7 @ And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your seed after you in their generations, for a perpetual covenant, to be God unto you and unto your seed after you.

vw@Genesis:17:8 @ Also I have given unto you and your seed after you the land in which you sojourn, all the land of Canaan, as an enduring possession; and I will be their God.

vw@Genesis:17:9 @ And God said to Abraham: As for you, you shall keep My covenant, you and your seed after you throughout their generations.

vw@Genesis:17:10 @ This is My covenant which you shall keep, between Me and you and your seed after you: Every male among you shall be circumcised;

vw@Genesis:17:11 @ and you shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant between Me and you.

vw@Genesis:17:12 @ He who is eight days old among you shall be circumcised, every male in your generations, he who is born in the house or bought with money from any son of a foreigner who is not your seed.

vw@Genesis:17:13 @ He who is born in your house and he who is bought with your money must be circumcised, and My covenant shall be in your flesh for a perpetual covenant.

vw@Genesis:17:14 @ And the uncircumcised male, who is not circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin, that soul shall be cut off from his people; he has broken My covenant.

vw@Genesis:17:15 @ Then God said to Abraham, As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.

vw@Genesis:17:16 @ And I have blessed her and have given you a son by her; yea, I have blessed her, and she shall become nations; kings of peoples shall be from her.

vw@Genesis:17:17 @ Then Abraham fell on his face and laughed, and said in his heart, Shall one be born to a man who is one hundred years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety years old, give birth?

vw@Genesis:17:18 @ And Abraham said to God, Oh, that Ishmael might live before You!

vw@Genesis:17:19 @ And God said: Truly, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; I have established My covenant with him for a perpetual covenant, with his seed after him.

vw@Genesis:17:20 @ And as for Ishmael, I have heard you. Behold, I have blessed him, and will make him fruitful, and will multiply him exceedingly abundantly. He shall beget twelve chiefs, and I will make him a great nation.

vw@Genesis:17:21 @ But My covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah shall bear to you at this set time next year.

vw@Genesis:17:22 @ And He finished talking with him, and God went up from Abraham.

vw@Genesis:17:23 @ And Abraham took Ishmael his son, all who were born in his house and all who were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham’s house, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskins the same day, as God had spoken unto him.

vw@Genesis:17:24 @ And Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

vw@Genesis:17:25 @ And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.

vw@Genesis:17:26 @ In the same day Abraham was circumcised, along with his son Ishmael;

vw@Genesis:17:27 @ and all the men of his house, born in the house or bought with money from the son of a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

vw@Genesis:18:1 @ And Jehovah appeared to him in the plains of Mamre, as he was sitting in the tent opening in the heat of the day.

vw@Genesis:18:2 @ And he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent opening to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground,

vw@Genesis:18:3 @ and said, My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your eyes, do not pass on by Your servant.

vw@Genesis:18:4 @ Please let a little water be brought, and wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree.

vw@Genesis:18:5 @ And I will bring a morsel of bread, that you may strengthen your hearts. After that you may pass on, for this is why you have passed along by your servant. They said, Do as you have said.

vw@Genesis:18:6 @ So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah and said, Quickly, make ready three measures of fine meal; knead it and make cakes.

vw@Genesis:18:7 @ And Abraham ran to the herd, took a tender and good calf, gave it to a young man, and he hastened to prepare it.

vw@Genesis:18:8 @ And he took butter and milk and the calf which he had prepared, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree. And they ate.

vw@Genesis:18:9 @ And they said to him, Where is Sarah your wife? So he said, Here, in the tent.

vw@Genesis:18:10 @ And He said, I will come back to return to you according to the time of life, and behold, Sarah your wife shall have a son. And Sarah was listening from the tent opening which was behind him.

vw@Genesis:18:11 @ Now Abraham and Sarah were old, well advanced in age; and it had ceased to be after the manner of women with Sarah.

vw@Genesis:18:12 @ Therefore Sarah laughed within herself, saying, Being worn out, shall I be delighted, my lord, having also become old?

vw@Genesis:18:13 @ And Jehovah said to Abraham, Why has Sarah laughed, saying, Shall I surely give birth, I who have become old?

vw@Genesis:18:14 @ Is anything beyond the power of Jehovah? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.

vw@Genesis:18:15 @ But Sarah denied it, saying, I did not laugh, for she was afraid. And He said, No, but you did laugh.

vw@Genesis:18:16 @ And the men rose up from there and looked toward Sodom, and Abraham went with them to send them on the way.

vw@Genesis:18:17 @ And Jehovah said, Shall I hide from Abraham what I am doing,

vw@Genesis:18:18 @ since Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?

vw@Genesis:18:19 @ For I have known him, in order that he may command his children and his house after him, that they may keep the way of Jehovah, to do righteousness and justice, that Jehovah may bring upon Abraham what He has spoken to him.

vw@Genesis:18:20 @ And Jehovah said, The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and their sin is exceedingly heavy.

vw@Genesis:18:21 @ I will go down now and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry against it that has come to Me; and if not, I will know.

vw@Genesis:18:22 @ And the men turned from there and went toward Sodom, but Abraham still stood before Jehovah.

vw@Genesis:18:23 @ And Abraham approached and said, Would You also sweep away the righteous with the wicked?

vw@Genesis:18:24 @ Suppose there were fifty righteous within the city; would You also destroy the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous that were in it?

vw@Genesis:18:25 @ Far be it from You to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be as the wicked; far be it from You! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

vw@Genesis:18:26 @ And Jehovah said, If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare all the place for their sakes.

vw@Genesis:18:27 @ Then Abraham answered and said, Behold now, I who am but dust and ashes have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord:

vw@Genesis:18:28 @ Suppose there were five less than the fifty righteous; would You destroy all of the city for lack of five? And He said, If I find forty-five there, I will not destroy it.

vw@Genesis:18:29 @ And he spoke to Him yet again and said, Suppose there should be forty found there? And He said, I will not do it for the sake of forty.

vw@Genesis:18:30 @ Then he said, Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak: Suppose thirty should be found there? And He said, I will not do it if I find thirty there.

vw@Genesis:18:31 @ And he said, Indeed now, I have taken it upon myself to speak to the Lord: Suppose twenty should be found there? And He said, I will not destroy it for the sake of twenty.

vw@Genesis:18:32 @ And he said, Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: Suppose ten should be found there? And He said, I will not destroy it for the sake of ten.

vw@Genesis:18:33 @ And Jehovah went His way as soon as He had finished speaking with Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.

vw@Genesis:19:1 @ And the two angels came to Sodom at evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face to the earth.

vw@Genesis:19:2 @ And he said, Here now, my lords, please turn in to your servant’s house and spend the night, and wash your feet; then you may rise early and go on your way. And they said, No, but we will spend the night in the open square.

vw@Genesis:19:3 @ But he insisted strongly; so they turned in to him and entered his house. And he made them a feast, and baked unleavened bread, and they ate.

vw@Genesis:19:4 @ But before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, both old and young, all the people from every quarter, surrounded the house.

vw@Genesis:19:5 @ And they called to Lot and said to him, Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may know them.

vw@Genesis:19:6 @ And Lot went out to them at the entrance and shut the door behind him,

vw@Genesis:19:7 @ and said, Please, my brethren, do not do so wickedly.

vw@Genesis:19:8 @ See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and do to them as is good in your eyes; only do nothing to these men, since this is the reason they have come under the shadow of my roof.

vw@Genesis:19:9 @ And they said, Stand back! And they said, This one came in to sojourn, and he acts as a judge to condemn; now we will deal worse with you than with them. And they pressed hard against the man Lot, and came near to break down the door.

vw@Genesis:19:10 @ But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.

vw@Genesis:19:11 @ And they struck the men who were at the entrance of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they became weary trying to find the door.

vw@Genesis:19:12 @ And the men said to Lot, Have you anyone else here? Son-in-law, your sons, your daughters, and whomever you have in the city; bring them out of this place!

vw@Genesis:19:13 @ For we are destroying this place, because the outcry against them has grown great before the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah has sent us to destroy it.

vw@Genesis:19:14 @ And Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, Get up, get out of this place; for Jehovah is destroying this city! But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking.

vw@Genesis:19:15 @ And when dawn had risen, the angels urged Lot, saying, Arise, take your wife and your two daughters who are found here, that you not be consumed in the punishment of the city.

vw@Genesis:19:16 @ And while he lingered, the men took hold of his hand, his wife’s hand, and the hands of his two daughters, Jehovah being merciful to him, and they brought him out and set him down outside the city.

vw@Genesis:19:17 @ And it came to pass, when they had brought them outside, that he said, Escape for your lives! Do not look behind you nor stay anywhere in the plain. Escape to the mountains, lest you be destroyed.

vw@Genesis:19:18 @ And Lot said to them, Please, no, my lords!

vw@Genesis:19:19 @ Behold now, your servant has found favor in your eyes, and you have increased your mercy which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, lest some evil overtake me and I die.

vw@Genesis:19:20 @ See now, this city is near enough to flee to, and it is a little one; please let me escape there (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.

vw@Genesis:19:21 @ And he said to him, See, I have favored you concerning this thing also, in that I will not overthrow this city for which you have spoken.

vw@Genesis:19:22 @ Hurry, escape there! For I cannot do anything until you arrive there. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

vw@Genesis:19:23 @ The sun had risen upon the earth when Lot entered Zoar.

vw@Genesis:19:24 @ Then Jehovah rained brimstone and fire upon Sodom and Gomorrah, from Jehovah out of the heavens.

vw@Genesis:19:25 @ And He overthrew those cities, all the plain, all the inhabitants of the cities, and the plants of the ground.

vw@Genesis:19:26 @ But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

vw@Genesis:19:27 @ And Abraham went early in the morning to the place where he had stood before Jehovah.

vw@Genesis:19:28 @ And he looked toward Sodom and Gomorrah, and toward all the land of the plain; and he saw, and behold, the smoke of the land went up like the smoke of a furnace.

vw@Genesis:19:29 @ And it came to pass, when God destroyed the cities of the plain, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot had dwelt.

vw@Genesis:19:30 @ And Lot went up out of Zoar and dwelt in the mountains, and his two daughters were with him; for he was afraid to dwell in Zoar. And he and his two daughters dwelt in a cave.

vw@Genesis:19:31 @ And the firstborn said to the younger, Our father is old, and there is no man on the earth to come in to us as is the manner of all the earth.

vw@Genesis:19:32 @ Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may keep alive the seed of our father.

vw@Genesis:19:33 @ And they made their father drink wine that night. And the firstborn went in and lay with her father, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

vw@Genesis:19:34 @ And it happened on the next day that the firstborn said to the younger, Behold, I lay with my father last night; let us make him drink wine tonight also, and you go in and lie with him, that we may keep alive the seed of our father.

vw@Genesis:19:35 @ And they made their father drink wine that night also. And the younger arose and lay with him, and he did not know when she lay down or when she arose.

vw@Genesis:19:36 @ Thus both the daughters of Lot were with child by their father.

vw@Genesis:19:37 @ And the firstborn bore a son and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.

vw@Genesis:19:38 @ And the younger also bore a son and called his name Ben-Ammi; he is the father of the people of Ammon to this day.

vw@Genesis:20:1 @ And Abraham journeyed from there to the South, and dwelt between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar.

vw@Genesis:20:2 @ And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister. And Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.

vw@Genesis:20:3 @ But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, Behold you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is married to a husband.

vw@Genesis:20:4 @ But Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, Lord, will You slay a righteous nation also?

vw@Genesis:20:5 @ Did he not say to me, She is my sister? And she, even she herself said, He is my brother. In the integrity of my heart and innocence of my hands I have done this.

vw@Genesis:20:6 @ And God said to him in a dream, Yes, I know that you did this in the integrity of your heart. For I also withheld you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her.

vw@Genesis:20:7 @ Now therefore, restore the man’s wife; for he is a prophet, and he will pray for you and you shall live. But if you do not restore her, know that you shall die the death, you and all who are yours.

vw@Genesis:20:8 @ So Abimelech rose early in the morning, summoned all his servants, and told all these things in their ears; and the men were greatly afraid.

vw@Genesis:20:9 @ And Abimelech summoned Abraham and said to him, What have you done to us? How have I offended you, that you have brought upon me and upon my kingdom a great sin? You have done deeds to me that ought not to be done.

vw@Genesis:20:10 @ And Abimelech said to Abraham, What did you see, that you have done this thing?

vw@Genesis:20:11 @ And Abraham said, Because I thought, Surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will kill me on account of my wife.

vw@Genesis:20:12 @ And yet she is truly my sister. She is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife.

vw@Genesis:20:13 @ And it came to pass, when God caused me to wander from my father’s house, that I said to her, This is your kindness which you shall do for me: in every place, wherever we go, say of me, He is my brother.

vw@Genesis:20:14 @ And Abimelech took sheep, oxen, and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham; and he restored Sarah his wife to him.

vw@Genesis:20:15 @ And Abimelech said, Behold, my land is before you; dwell where it pleases you.

vw@Genesis:20:16 @ And to Sarah he said, Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver; indeed this vindicates you before all who are with you and before everybody. Thus she was rebuked.

vw@Genesis:20:17 @ So Abraham prayed to God; and God healed Abimelech, his wife, and his female servants. Then they gave birth;

vw@Genesis:20:18 @ for Jehovah had closed up all the wombs of the house of Abimelech because of Sarah, the wife of Abraham.

vw@Genesis:21:1 @ And Jehovah visited Sarah as He had said, and Jehovah did for Sarah as He had spoken.

vw@Genesis:21:2 @ For Sarah conceived and bore Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time of which God had spoken to him.

vw@Genesis:21:3 @ And Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah had borne to him, Isaac.

vw@Genesis:21:4 @ And Abraham circumcised his son Isaac when he was eight days old, as God had commanded him.

vw@Genesis:21:5 @ And Abraham was one hundred years old when his son Isaac was born to him.

vw@Genesis:21:6 @ And Sarah said, God has made laughter for me, and all who hear will laugh with me.

vw@Genesis:21:7 @ She also said, Who would have said to Abraham that Sarah would suckle a son? For I have borne him a son in his old age.

vw@Genesis:21:8 @ And the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the same day that Isaac was weaned.

vw@Genesis:21:9 @ And Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, playing.

vw@Genesis:21:10 @ Therefore she said to Abraham, Drive away this maidservant and her son; for the son of this maidservant shall not inherit with my son, with Isaac.

vw@Genesis:21:11 @ And the matter caused Abraham’s eyes to quiver greatly because of his son.

vw@Genesis:21:12 @ And God said to Abraham, Do not let your eyes quiver because of the lad or because of your maidservant. Whatever Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice; for in Isaac your Seed shall be called.

vw@Genesis:21:13 @ And I will also make a nation of the son of the maidservant, because he is your seed.

vw@Genesis:21:14 @ And Abraham rose early in the morning, and took bread and a skin of water; and putting it on her shoulder, he gave it and the boy to Hagar, and sent her away. And she departed and wandered in the wilderness of Beer-sheba.

vw@Genesis:21:15 @ And the water in the skin was used up, and she placed the boy under one of the shrubs.

vw@Genesis:21:16 @ And she went and sat down across from him at a distance of about a bowshot; for she said to herself, Let me not see the death of the boy. So she sat opposite him, and lifted her voice and wept.

vw@Genesis:21:17 @ And God heard the voice of the lad. And the Angel of God called to Hagar out of the heavens, and said to her, What ails you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the lad where he is.

vw@Genesis:21:18 @ Arise, lift up the lad and support him with your hand, for I will make of him a great nation.

vw@Genesis:21:19 @ And God opened her eyes, and she saw a well of water. And she went and filled the skin with water, and gave the lad to drink.

vw@Genesis:21:20 @ And God was with the lad; and he grew and dwelt in the wilderness, and became a great archer.

vw@Genesis:21:21 @ And he dwelt in the wilderness of Paran; and his mother took a wife for him out of the land of Egypt.

vw@Genesis:21:22 @ And it came to pass at that time that Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham, saying, God is with you in all that you do.

vw@Genesis:21:23 @ Now therefore, swear to me by God that you will not deal falsely with me, with my offspring, or with my posterity; but that according to the kindness that I have done to you, you will do to me and to the land in which you have sojourned.

vw@Genesis:21:24 @ And Abraham said, I will swear.

vw@Genesis:21:25 @ But Abraham rebuked Abimelech because of a well of water which Abimelech’s servants had seized.

vw@Genesis:21:26 @ And Abimelech said, I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, nor had I heard of it until today.

vw@Genesis:21:27 @ And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.

vw@Genesis:21:28 @ And Abraham set seven ewe lambs of the flock by themselves.

vw@Genesis:21:29 @ And Abimelech asked Abraham, What are these seven ewe lambs which you have set by themselves?

vw@Genesis:21:30 @ And he said, You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand, that they may be my witness that I have dug this well.

vw@Genesis:21:31 @ Therefore he called that place Beer-sheba, because the two of them swore an oath there.

vw@Genesis:21:32 @ Thus they made a covenant at Beer-sheba. So Abimelech rose with Phicol, the commander of his army, and they returned to the land of the Philistines.

vw@Genesis:21:33 @ And Abraham planted a tamarisk tree in Beer-sheba, and there he called upon the name of Jehovah, the Eternal God.

vw@Genesis:21:34 @ And Abraham sojourned in the land of the Philistines many days.

vw@Genesis:22:1 @ And it came to pass after these things that God tested Abraham, and said to him, Abraham! And he said, Here am I.

vw@Genesis:22:2 @ And He said, Take now your son, your only one Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you.

vw@Genesis:22:3 @ And Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him, and Isaac his son; and he split the wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.

vw@Genesis:22:4 @ And on the third day Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw the place from a distance.

vw@Genesis:22:5 @ And Abraham said to his young men, Stay here with the donkey; and the lad and I will go over there and do homage, and we will come back to you.

vw@Genesis:22:6 @ And Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together.

vw@Genesis:22:7 @ And Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, My father. And he said, Here am I, my son. And he said, Behold, the fire and the wood; but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?

vw@Genesis:22:8 @ And Abraham said, My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering. So the two of them went together.

vw@Genesis:22:9 @ And they came to the place of which God had told him. And Abraham built an altar there and placed the wood in order; and he bound Isaac his son and laid him on the altar, upon the wood.

vw@Genesis:22:10 @ And Abraham stretched out his hand and took the knife to slay his son.

vw@Genesis:22:11 @ And the Angel of Jehovah called to him from the heavens and said, Abraham! Abraham! And he said, Here am I.

vw@Genesis:22:12 @ And He said, Do not lay your hand upon the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only one from Me.

vw@Genesis:22:13 @ And Abraham lifted up his eyes and looked, and there behind him was a ram caught in a thicket by its horns. And Abraham went and took the ram, and offered it up for a burnt offering instead of his son.

vw@Genesis:22:14 @ And Abraham called the name of the place, Jehovah Jireh; as it is said to this day, In the Mount of Jehovah it shall be seen.

vw@Genesis:22:15 @ And the Angel of Jehovah called to Abraham a second time out of the heavens,

vw@Genesis:22:16 @ and said: By Myself I have sworn, says Jehovah, because you have done this thing, and have not withheld your son, your only one;

vw@Genesis:22:17 @ that in blessing I will bless you, and multiplying I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens and as the sand which is on the seashore. And your Seed shall possess the gate of His enemies.

vw@Genesis:22:18 @ And in your Seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed, because you have obeyed My voice.

vw@Genesis:22:19 @ So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beer-sheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beer-sheba.

vw@Genesis:22:20 @ And it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, Behold, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:

vw@Genesis:22:21 @ Uz his firstborn, Buz his brother, Kemuel the father of Aram,

vw@Genesis:22:22 @ Chesed, Hazo, Pildash, Jidlaph, and Bethuel.

vw@Genesis:22:23 @ And Bethuel begot Rebekah. These eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham’s brother.

vw@Genesis:22:24 @ And his concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah, Gaham, Thahash, and Maachah.

vw@Genesis:23:1 @ Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years; these were the years of the life of Sarah.

vw@Genesis:23:2 @ And Sarah died in Kirjath Arba (which is Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.

vw@Genesis:23:3 @ And Abraham stood up from before his dead, and spoke to the sons of Heth, saying,

vw@Genesis:23:4 @ I am a foreigner and a sojourner among you. Give me property for a burial place among you, that I may bury my dead from before my face.

vw@Genesis:23:5 @ And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,

vw@Genesis:23:6 @ Hear us, my lord: You are a Godly prince among us; bury your dead in the choicest of our burial places. None of us will withhold from you his burial place, that you may bury your dead.

vw@Genesis:23:7 @ And Abraham stood up and bowed himself to the people of the land, the sons of Heth.

vw@Genesis:23:8 @ And he spoke with them, saying, If it is your wish that I bury my dead from before my face, hear me, and entreat Ephron the son of Zohar for me,

vw@Genesis:23:9 @ that he may give me the cave of Machpelah which he has, which is at the end of his field. Let him give it to me at the full price, as property for a burial place among you.

vw@Genesis:23:10 @ And Ephron was sitting among the sons of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the ears of the sons of Heth, all who entered at the gate of his city, saying,

vw@Genesis:23:11 @ No, my lord, hear me: I give you the field and the cave that is in it; I give it to you before the eyes of the sons of my people. I give it to you. Bury your dead.

vw@Genesis:23:12 @ And Abraham bowed himself down before the people of the land;

vw@Genesis:23:13 @ and he spoke to Ephron in the ears of the people of the land, saying, If you will give it, please hear me. I will give you money for the field; take it from me and I will bury my dead there.

vw@Genesis:23:14 @ And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,

vw@Genesis:23:15 @ My lord, listen to me; the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver. What is that between you and me? So bury your dead.

vw@Genesis:23:16 @ And Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed out the silver to Ephron which he had spoken in the ears of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, currency of the merchants.

vw@Genesis:23:17 @ And the field of Ephron which was in Machpelah, which was before Mamre, the field and the cave which was in it, and all the trees that were in the field, which were within all the surrounding borders, were deeded

vw@Genesis:23:18 @ to Abraham as a possession before the eyes of the sons of Heth, before all who went in at the gate of his city.

vw@Genesis:23:19 @ And after this, Abraham buried Sarah his wife in the cave of the field of Machpelah, before Mamre (which is Hebron) in the land of Canaan.

vw@Genesis:23:20 @ And the field and the cave that is in it were deeded to Abraham by the sons of Heth as property for a burial place.

vw@Genesis:24:1 @ Now Abraham was old, well advanced in age; and Jehovah had blessed Abraham in all things.

vw@Genesis:24:2 @ And Abraham said to the oldest servant of his house, who ruled over all that he had, Please, put your hand under my thigh,

vw@Genesis:24:3 @ and I will make you swear by Jehovah the God of the Heavens and God of the earth, that you will not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, among whom I dwell;

vw@Genesis:24:4 @ but you shall go to my land and to my kindred, and take a wife for my son Isaac.

vw@Genesis:24:5 @ And the servant said to him, Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land; must I take your son back to the land from which you came?

vw@Genesis:24:6 @ And Abraham said to him, Beware that you do not take my son back there.

vw@Genesis:24:7 @ Jehovah the God of Heaven, who took me from my father’s house and from the land of my kindred, and who spoke to me and swore to me, saying, To your seed I give this land, He will send His Angel before you, and you shall take a wife for my son from there.

vw@Genesis:24:8 @ And if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you have been released from this oath; only, do not take my son back there.

vw@Genesis:24:9 @ So the servant put his hand under the thigh of Abraham his master, and swore to him concerning this matter.

vw@Genesis:24:10 @ And the servant took ten of his master’s camels and departed, for all his master’s goods were in his hand. And he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.

vw@Genesis:24:11 @ And he made the camels kneel down outside the city by a well of water at evening time, the time when women go out to draw.

vw@Genesis:24:12 @ And he said, O Jehovah the God of my master Abraham, please cause the meeting before me this day, and show kindness to my master Abraham.

vw@Genesis:24:13 @ Behold, here I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.

vw@Genesis:24:14 @ Now let it be that the young woman to whom I shall say, Please let down your pitcher that I may drink, and she says, Drink, and I will also give your camels a drink; let her be the one You have appointed for Your servant Isaac. And by this I shall know that You have shown kindness to my master.

vw@Genesis:24:15 @ And it happened, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham’s brother, came out with her pitcher on her shoulder.

vw@Genesis:24:16 @ And the young woman was of a very pleasant appearance, a virgin; no man had known her. And she went down to the well, filled her pitcher, and came up.

vw@Genesis:24:17 @ And the servant ran to meet her and said, Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher.

vw@Genesis:24:18 @ And she said, Drink, my lord. Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand, and gave him a drink.

vw@Genesis:24:19 @ And when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, I will draw water for your camels also, until they have finished drinking.

vw@Genesis:24:20 @ And she quickly emptied her pitcher into the trough, ran back to the well to draw water, and drew for all his camels.

vw@Genesis:24:21 @ And the man, gazing at her, remained silent so as to know whether Jehovah had prospered his journey or not.

vw@Genesis:24:22 @ And it came to pass, when the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden ring weighing half a shekel, and two bracelets for her hands weighing ten shekels of gold,

vw@Genesis:24:23 @ and said, Whose daughter are you? Tell me, please, is there room in your father’s house for us to lodge?

vw@Genesis:24:24 @ And she said to him, I am the daughter of Bethuel, Milcah’s son, whom she bore to Nahor.

vw@Genesis:24:25 @ Moreover she said to him, We have both straw and feed enough, and room to lodge.

vw@Genesis:24:26 @ And the man bowed down and prostrated himself before Jehovah.

vw@Genesis:24:27 @ And he said, Blessed be Jehovah the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken His goodness and His truth toward my master. As for me, being on the way, Jehovah has led me to the house of my master’s brethren.

vw@Genesis:24:28 @ And the girl ran and told these things in the house of her mother.

vw@Genesis:24:29 @ And Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban, and Laban ran out to the man by the well.

vw@Genesis:24:30 @ And it came to pass, when he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s hands, and when he heard the words of his sister Rebekah, saying, Thus the man spoke to me, that he went to the man. And there he stood by the camels at the well.

vw@Genesis:24:31 @ And he said, Come in, O blessed of Jehovah! Why do you stand outside? I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels.

vw@Genesis:24:32 @ And the man came into the house. And he unloaded the camels, and provided straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.

vw@Genesis:24:33 @ And food was set before him to eat, but he said, I will not eat until I have spoken my business. And he said, Speak.

vw@Genesis:24:34 @ And he said, I am Abraham’s servant.

vw@Genesis:24:35 @ Jehovah has blessed my master greatly, and he has become great; and He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.

vw@Genesis:24:36 @ And Sarah my master’s wife bore a son to my master when she was old; and to him he has given all that he has.

vw@Genesis:24:37 @ And my master made me swear, saying, You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I dwell;

vw@Genesis:24:38 @ but you shall go to my father’s house and to my family, and take a wife for my son.

vw@Genesis:24:39 @ And I said to my master, Perhaps the woman will not follow me.

vw@Genesis:24:40 @ And he said to me, Jehovah, before whom I walk, will send His Angel with you and prosper your way; and you shall take a wife for my son from my family and from my father’s house.

vw@Genesis:24:41 @ Then you shall be free from this oath when you come to my family; and if they will not give her to you, then you will be released from my oath.

vw@Genesis:24:42 @ And this day I came to the well and said, O Jehovah the God of my master Abraham, if You will now prosper the way in which I go,

vw@Genesis:24:43 @ behold, I am standing by the well of water; and it shall come to pass that when the virgin comes out to draw water, and I say to her, Please give me a little water from your pitcher to drink,

vw@Genesis:24:44 @ and she says to me, Drink, and I will draw for your camels also; let her be the woman whom Jehovah has appointed for my master’s son.

vw@Genesis:24:45 @ And before I had finished speaking in my heart, there was Rebekah, coming out with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her, Please let me drink.

vw@Genesis:24:46 @ And she made haste and let her pitcher down from her shoulder, and said, Drink, and I will give your camels water also. So I drank, and she gave the camels water also.

vw@Genesis:24:47 @ Then I asked her, and said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor’s son, whom Milcah bore to him. And I put the ring on her nose and the bracelets on her hands.

vw@Genesis:24:48 @ And I bowed and prostrated myself before Jehovah, and blessed Jehovah the God of my master Abraham, who had led me in the way of truth to take the daughter of my master’s brother for his son.

vw@Genesis:24:49 @ And now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. And if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left.

vw@Genesis:24:50 @ Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing has come forth from Jehovah; we cannot speak to you either bad or good.

vw@Genesis:24:51 @ Behold, Rebekah is before you; take her and go, and let her be your master’s son’s wife, as Jehovah has spoken.

vw@Genesis:24:52 @ And it came to pass, when Abraham’s servant heard their words, that he prostrated himself to the earth before Jehovah.

vw@Genesis:24:53 @ And the servant brought out articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing, and gave them to Rebekah. He also gave precious things to her brother and to her mother.

vw@Genesis:24:54 @ And he and the men who were with him ate and drank and stayed the night. And they arose in the morning, and he said, Send me away to my master.

vw@Genesis:24:55 @ And her brother and her mother said, Let the girl stay with us perhaps ten days; after that she may go.

vw@Genesis:24:56 @ And he said to them, Do not delay me, since Jehovah has prospered my way; send me away so that I may go to my master.

vw@Genesis:24:57 @ So they said, We will call the girl and ask at her mouth.

vw@Genesis:24:58 @ And they called Rebekah and said to her, Will you go with this man? And she said, I will go.

vw@Genesis:24:59 @ And they sent away Rebekah their sister and her nurse, and Abraham’s servant and his men.

vw@Genesis:24:60 @ And they blessed Rebekah and said to her: Our sister, may you become the mother of thousands of ten thousands; and may your seed possess the gates of those who hate them.

vw@Genesis:24:61 @ And Rebekah and her maids arose, and they rode on the camels and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and departed.

vw@Genesis:24:62 @ And Isaac came from the gates of Beer Lahai Roi, for he dwelt in the land toward the south.

vw@Genesis:24:63 @ And Isaac went out to meditate in the field in the evening; and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, the camels were coming.

vw@Genesis:24:64 @ And Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac she dismounted from her camel;

vw@Genesis:24:65 @ for she had said to the servant, Who is this man walking in the field to meet us? And the servant said, It is my master. Therefore she took a veil and covered herself.

vw@Genesis:24:66 @ And the servant told Isaac all the things that he had done.

vw@Genesis:24:67 @ And Isaac brought her into the tent of his mother Sarah; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. And Isaac was comforted after his mother’s death.

vw@Genesis:25:1 @ Then Abraham again took a wife, and her name was Keturah.

vw@Genesis:25:2 @ And she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.

vw@Genesis:25:3 @ Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.

vw@Genesis:25:4 @ And the sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abida, and Eldaah. All these were the sons of Keturah.

vw@Genesis:25:5 @ And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.

vw@Genesis:25:6 @ But Abraham gave gifts to the sons of the concubines which Abraham had; and while he was still living he sent them eastward, away from Isaac his son, to the lands to the east.

vw@Genesis:25:7 @ These are the days of the years of Abraham’s life which he lived: one hundred and seventy-five years.

vw@Genesis:25:8 @ Then Abraham expired and died in a good old age, an old man and full of years, and was gathered to his people.

vw@Genesis:25:9 @ And his sons Isaac and Ishmael buried him in the cave of Machpelah, which is before Mamre, in the field of Ephron the son of Zohar the Hittite,

vw@Genesis:25:10 @ the field which Abraham purchased from the sons of Heth. There Abraham was buried, and Sarah his wife.

vw@Genesis:25:11 @ And it came to pass after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac dwelt at Beer Lahai Roi.

vw@Genesis:25:12 @ Now these are the generations of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah’s maidservant, bore to Abraham.

vw@Genesis:25:13 @ And these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, according to their generations: The firstborn of Ishmael, Nebajoth; then Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam,

vw@Genesis:25:14 @ Mishma, Dumah, Massa,

vw@Genesis:25:15 @ Hadar, Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and Kedemah.

vw@Genesis:25:16 @ These were the sons of Ishmael and these were their names, by their villages and their encampments, twelve chiefs according to their nations.

vw@Genesis:25:17 @ And these were the years of the life of Ishmael: one hundred and thirty-seven years; and he expired and died, and was gathered to his people.

vw@Genesis:25:18 @ They settled from Havilah as far as Shur, which is east of Egypt as you go toward Assyria. He settled in the presence of all his brethren.

vw@Genesis:25:19 @ And these are the generations of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham begot Isaac.

vw@Genesis:25:20 @ And Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan, the sister of Laban the Aramean, as wife.

vw@Genesis:25:21 @ And Isaac entreated Jehovah for his wife, because she was barren; and Jehovah was entreated by him, and Rebekah his wife conceived.

vw@Genesis:25:22 @ But the sons struggled together within her; and she said, If all is right, why am I like this? So she went to inquire of Jehovah.

vw@Genesis:25:23 @ And Jehovah said to her: Two nations are in your womb, two peoples shall be separated from your body; one people shall be stronger than the other, and the older shall serve the younger.

vw@Genesis:25:24 @ So when her days were fulfilled for her to give birth, behold, there were twins in her womb.

vw@Genesis:25:25 @ And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; and they called his name Esau.

vw@Genesis:25:26 @ Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau’s heel; and his name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.

vw@Genesis:25:27 @ So the boys grew: And Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; and Jacob was a quiet man, dwelling in tents.

vw@Genesis:25:28 @ And Isaac loved Esau because he had a taste for game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

vw@Genesis:25:29 @ Now Jacob boiled stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was exhausted.

vw@Genesis:25:30 @ And Esau said to Jacob, Please let me gulp down some of that red, red stew, for I am faint. Therefore his name was called Edom.

vw@Genesis:25:31 @ And Jacob said, Sell me your birthright today.

vw@Genesis:25:32 @ And Esau said, Behold, I am about to die; so what is this birthright to me?

vw@Genesis:25:33 @ And Jacob said, Swear to me this day. So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.

vw@Genesis:25:34 @ And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; and he ate and drank, arose, and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.

vw@Genesis:26:1 @ And there was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, to Gerar.

vw@Genesis:26:2 @ And Jehovah appeared to him and said: Do not go down into Egypt; dwell in the land of which I shall tell you.

vw@Genesis:26:3 @ Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you and bless you; for to you and your seed I give all these lands. And I will perform the oath which I swore unto Abraham your father.

vw@Genesis:26:4 @ And I will make your seed multiply as the stars of the heavens; I will give to your seed all these lands; and in your Seed all the nations of the earth shall be blessed;

vw@Genesis:26:5 @ because Abraham has obeyed My voice and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes, and My laws.

vw@Genesis:26:6 @ And Isaac dwelt in Gerar.

vw@Genesis:26:7 @ And the men of the place asked about his wife. And he said, She is my sister; for he was afraid to say, She is my wife, thinking, Lest the men of the place kill me on account of Rebekah, because she was of a pleasant appearance.

vw@Genesis:26:8 @ And it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked through a window and saw, and behold, Isaac was sporting with Rebekah his wife.

vw@Genesis:26:9 @ And Abimelech summoned Isaac and said, Behold, surely she is your wife; so why have you said, She is my sister? And Isaac said to him, Because I thought, Lest I die on account of her.

vw@Genesis:26:10 @ And Abimelech said, What is this you have done to us? One of the people might soon have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.

vw@Genesis:26:11 @ And Abimelech charged all his people, saying, He who touches this man or his wife shall die the death.

vw@Genesis:26:12 @ Then Isaac sowed in that land, and got in the same year a hundredfold; and Jehovah blessed him.

vw@Genesis:26:13 @ The man became great, and continued on growing in greatness until he became exceedingly great;

vw@Genesis:26:14 @ for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. And the Philistines envied him.

vw@Genesis:26:15 @ Now the Philistines had stopped up all the wells which his father’s servants had dug in the days of Abraham his father, and they had filled them with dirt.

vw@Genesis:26:16 @ And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go away from us, for you have become much mightier than we.

vw@Genesis:26:17 @ So Isaac departed from there and pitched his tent in the Valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.

vw@Genesis:26:18 @ And Isaac re-dug the wells of water which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham. And he called them by the names which his father had called them.

vw@Genesis:26:19 @ Isaac’s servants also dug in the valley, and found a well of running water there.

vw@Genesis:26:20 @ But the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, The water is ours. So he called the name of the well Esek, because they had contended with him.

vw@Genesis:26:21 @ And they dug another well, and they strove over that one also. So he called its name Sitnah.

vw@Genesis:26:22 @ And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth, because he said, For now Jehovah has made a large place for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.

vw@Genesis:26:23 @ And he went up from there to Beer-sheba.

vw@Genesis:26:24 @ And Jehovah appeared to him the same night and said, I am the God of your father Abraham; do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you and multiply your seed for My servant Abraham’s sake.

vw@Genesis:26:25 @ So he built an altar there and called upon the name of Jehovah. And he pitched his tent there; and there Isaac’s servants dug a well.

vw@Genesis:26:26 @ And Abimelech came to him from Gerar with Ahuzzath, one of his friends, and Phicol the commander of his army.

vw@Genesis:26:27 @ And Isaac said to them, Why have you come to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you?

vw@Genesis:26:28 @ And they said, We have certainly seen that Jehovah is with you. So we said, Let there now be an oath between us, between you and us; and let us make a covenant with you,

vw@Genesis:26:29 @ that you will do us no evil, since we have not touched you, and since we have done nothing to you but good and have sent you away in peace; you being now the blessed of Jehovah.

vw@Genesis:26:30 @ And he made them a feast, and they ate and drank.

vw@Genesis:26:31 @ And they arose early in the morning and swore an oath with one another; and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace.

vw@Genesis:26:32 @ And it came to pass on the same day that Isaac’s servants came and told him about the well which they had dug, and said to him, We have found water.

vw@Genesis:26:33 @ And he called it Shebah. Therefore the name of the city is Beer-sheba to this day.

vw@Genesis:26:34 @ And Esau was forty years old when he took as wives Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.

vw@Genesis:26:35 @ And they were a grief of spirit to Isaac and Rebekah.

vw@Genesis:27:1 @ And it came to pass, when Isaac was old and his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he summoned Esau his older son and said to him, My son. And he answered him, Here am I.

vw@Genesis:27:2 @ And he said, Behold now, I am old. I do not know the day of my death.

vw@Genesis:27:3 @ Now therefore, please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me.

vw@Genesis:27:4 @ And make me savory food, such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, that my soul may bless you before I die.

vw@Genesis:27:5 @ And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt game and to bring it.

vw@Genesis:27:6 @ And Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,

vw@Genesis:27:7 @ Bring me game and make savory food for me, that I may eat it and bless you in the presence of Jehovah before my death.

vw@Genesis:27:8 @ Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to what I command you.

vw@Genesis:27:9 @ Go now to the flock and bring me from there two choice kids of the goats, and I will make savory food from them for your father, such as he loves.

vw@Genesis:27:10 @ And you shall take it to your father, that he may eat it, and that he may bless you before his death.

vw@Genesis:27:11 @ And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.

vw@Genesis:27:12 @ Perhaps my father will feel me, and I shall seem to be a deceiver to him; and I shall bring a curse upon myself and not a blessing.

vw@Genesis:27:13 @ And his mother said to him, Let your curse be upon me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me.

vw@Genesis:27:14 @ And he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and his mother made savory food, such as his father loved.

vw@Genesis:27:15 @ And Rebekah took the good clothes of her elder son Esau, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.

vw@Genesis:27:16 @ And she put the skins of the kids of the goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck.

vw@Genesis:27:17 @ And she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.

vw@Genesis:27:18 @ And he went in to his father and said, My father. And he said, Here am I. Who are you, my son?

vw@Genesis:27:19 @ And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau your firstborn; I have done just as you have spoken to me; please arise, sit and eat of my game, that your soul may bless me.

vw@Genesis:27:20 @ But Isaac said to his son, How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah your God brought it to me.

vw@Genesis:27:21 @ And Isaac said to Jacob, Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are my very son Esau or not.

vw@Genesis:27:22 @ And Jacob went near to Isaac his father, and he felt him and said, The voice is Jacob’s voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.

vw@Genesis:27:23 @ And he did not recognize him, because his hands were hairy like his brother Esau’s hands; so he blessed him.

vw@Genesis:27:24 @ And he said, Are you really my son Esau? And he said, I am.

vw@Genesis:27:25 @ And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son’s game, so that my soul may bless you. So he brought it near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.

vw@Genesis:27:26 @ And his father Isaac said to him, Come near now and kiss me, my son.

vw@Genesis:27:27 @ And he came near and kissed him; and he smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him and said: Surely, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field which Jehovah has blessed.

vw@Genesis:27:28 @ Therefore, God give you of the dew of the heavens, of the fatness of the earth, and abundance of grain and wine.

vw@Genesis:27:29 @ Let nations serve you, and people bow down to you. Be lord over your brethren, and let your mother’s sons bow down to you. Cursed is everyone who curses you, and blessed be those who bless you!

vw@Genesis:27:30 @ And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

vw@Genesis:27:31 @ And he also had made savory food, and brought it to his father, and said to his father, Let my father arise and eat of his son’s game, that your soul may bless me.

vw@Genesis:27:32 @ And his father Isaac said to him, Who are you? So he said, I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.

vw@Genesis:27:33 @ And Isaac trembled with a very great trembling, and said, Who? Where is the one who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and I have blessed him; and moreover, he shall be blessed.

vw@Genesis:27:34 @ And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me; me also, O my father!

vw@Genesis:27:35 @ And he said, Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing.

vw@Genesis:27:36 @ And Esau said, Is he not rightly called by the name Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and now behold, he has taken away my blessing! And he said, Have you not reserved a blessing for me?

vw@Genesis:27:37 @ Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, Behold, I have made him your lord, and all his brethren I have given to him as servants; with grain and wine I have sustained him. What shall I do now for you, my son?

vw@Genesis:27:38 @ And Esau said to his father, Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me; me also, O my father! And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.

vw@Genesis:27:39 @ And Isaac his father answered and said to him: Behold, your dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of the heavens from above.

vw@Genesis:27:40 @ By your sword you shall live, and you shall serve your brother; and it shall come to pass, when you become restless, that you shall break his yoke from your neck.

vw@Genesis:27:41 @ And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him, and Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.

vw@Genesis:27:42 @ And the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. So she sent and summoned Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, your brother Esau comforts himself concerning you by intending to kill you.

vw@Genesis:27:43 @ Now therefore, my son, obey my voice: arise, flee to my brother Laban, to Haran.

vw@Genesis:27:44 @ And stay with him some days, until your brother’s fury turns away,

vw@Genesis:27:45 @ until your brother’s anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him; then I will send and bring you from there. Why should I be bereaved also of you both in one day?

vw@Genesis:27:46 @ And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these daughters of the land, what kind of life is that to me?

vw@Genesis:28:1 @ And Isaac summoned Jacob and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him: You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.

vw@Genesis:28:2 @ Arise, go to Paddan, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father; and take yourself a wife from there of the daughters of Laban your mother’s brother.

vw@Genesis:28:3 @ May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful and multiply you, that you may become an assembly of peoples;

vw@Genesis:28:4 @ and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and your seed with you, that you may inherit the land in which you are a sojourner, which God has given to Abraham.

vw@Genesis:28:5 @ And Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Paddan, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.

vw@Genesis:28:6 @ And when Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan to take himself a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan,

vw@Genesis:28:7 @ and that Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother and had gone to Paddan;

vw@Genesis:28:8 @ and Esau also saw that the daughters of Canaan were evil in the eyes of his father Isaac;

vw@Genesis:28:9 @ that Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebajoth, to be his wife along with the wives he had.

vw@Genesis:28:10 @ And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba and went toward Haran.

vw@Genesis:28:11 @ And he came to a certain place and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. And he took one of the stones of that place and put it at his head, and he lay down in that place to sleep.

vw@Genesis:28:12 @ And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to the heavens; and behold the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

vw@Genesis:28:13 @ And behold, Jehovah stood above it and said: I am Jehovah the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you are lying I give to you and your seed.

vw@Genesis:28:14 @ And your seed shall be as the dust of the earth; you shall spread abroad to the west and the east, to the north and the south; and in you and in your Seed all the families of the earth shall be blessed.

vw@Genesis:28:15 @ Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I am not forsaking you until I have done what I have spoken to you.

vw@Genesis:28:16 @ And Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I did not realize it.

vw@Genesis:28:17 @ And he was afraid and said, How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of Heaven!

vw@Genesis:28:18 @ And Jacob arose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put at his head, set it up as a pillar, and poured oil on top of it.

vw@Genesis:28:19 @ And he called the name of that place Bethel; but the name of that city had formerly been Luz.

vw@Genesis:28:20 @ And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and keep me in this way that I am going, and give me bread to eat and clothing to put on,

vw@Genesis:28:21 @ so that I return to my father’s house in peace, then Jehovah shall be my God.

vw@Genesis:28:22 @ And this stone which I have set as a pillar shall be God’s house, and of all that You give me I will tithe to give a tithe to You.

vw@Genesis:29:1 @ So Jacob lifted his feet and came into the land of the sons of the East.

vw@Genesis:29:2 @ And he looked, and behold a well in the field; and behold, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks. And a large stone was on the well’s mouth.

vw@Genesis:29:3 @ And all the flocks would be gathered there; and they would roll the stone from the well’s mouth, water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place on the well’s mouth.

vw@Genesis:29:4 @ And Jacob said to them, My brethren, where are you from? And they said, We are from Haran.

vw@Genesis:29:5 @ And he said to them, Do you know Laban the son of Nahor? And they said, We know him.

vw@Genesis:29:6 @ And he said to them, Is he well? And they said, He is well. And behold, his daughter Rachel is coming with the sheep.

vw@Genesis:29:7 @ And he said, Behold, it is still high day; it is not the time for cattle to be gathered together. Water the sheep, and go and feed them.

vw@Genesis:29:8 @ But they said, We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and they have rolled the stone from the well’s mouth; then we water the sheep.

vw@Genesis:29:9 @ And while he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s sheep, for she was tending them.

vw@Genesis:29:10 @ And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother’s brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother’s brother, that Jacob went near and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother’s brother.

vw@Genesis:29:11 @ And Jacob kissed Rachel, and lifted up his voice and wept.

vw@Genesis:29:12 @ And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s relative and that he was Rebekah’s son. So she ran and told her father.

vw@Genesis:29:13 @ And it came to pass, when Laban heard the report about Jacob his sister’s son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. So he told Laban all these things.

vw@Genesis:29:14 @ And Laban said to him, Surely you are my bone and my flesh. And he stayed with him a month of days.

vw@Genesis:29:15 @ And Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?

vw@Genesis:29:16 @ Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

vw@Genesis:29:17 @ Leah’s eyes were delicate, but Rachel had a beautiful figure and a beautiful appearance.

vw@Genesis:29:18 @ And Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.

vw@Genesis:29:19 @ And Laban said, It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.

vw@Genesis:29:20 @ So Jacob served seven years for Rachel, and they were only a day in his eyes because of the love he had for her.

vw@Genesis:29:21 @ And Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife that I may go in to her, for my days have been fulfilled.

vw@Genesis:29:22 @ And Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast.

vw@Genesis:29:23 @ And it came to pass in the evening, that he took Leah his daughter and brought her to him; and he went in to her.

vw@Genesis:29:24 @ And Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah as a maidservant.

vw@Genesis:29:25 @ And it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served you? Why then have you deceived me?

vw@Genesis:29:26 @ And Laban said, It is not done so in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.

vw@Genesis:29:27 @ Fulfill her week, and we will give you this one also for the service which you will serve with me yet another seven years.

vw@Genesis:29:28 @ And Jacob did so and fulfilled her week. So he gave him his daughter Rachel as wife also.

vw@Genesis:29:29 @ And Laban gave his maid Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as a maidservant.

vw@Genesis:29:30 @ And Jacob also went in to Rachel, and he also loved Rachel more than Leah. And he served with him yet another seven years.

vw@Genesis:29:31 @ When Jehovah saw that Leah was hated, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.

vw@Genesis:29:32 @ And Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben; for she said, Jehovah has surely looked upon my affliction. Now therefore, my husband will love me.

vw@Genesis:29:33 @ And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, Because Jehovah has heard that I am hated, He has therefore given me this one also. And she called his name Simeon.

vw@Genesis:29:34 @ And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, Now this time my husband will be joined to me, because I have borne him three sons. Therefore his name was called Levi.

vw@Genesis:29:35 @ And she conceived again and bore a son, and said, Now I will praise Jehovah. Therefore she called his name Judah. Then she stopped giving birth.

vw@Genesis:30:1 @ Now when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel was jealous of her sister, and said to Jacob, Give me sons, or if not I shall die!

vw@Genesis:30:2 @ And Jacob’s anger burned against Rachel, and he said, Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?

vw@Genesis:30:3 @ And she said, Behold my maid Bilhah; go in to her, and she shall give birth on my knees, that I also may be built up by her.

vw@Genesis:30:4 @ And she gave him Bilhah her maid as wife, and Jacob went in to her.

vw@Genesis:30:5 @ And Bilhah conceived and bore Jacob a son.

vw@Genesis:30:6 @ And Rachel said, God has judged my case, and has also heard my voice and given me a son. Therefore she called his name Daniel.

vw@Genesis:30:7 @ And Rachel’s maid Bilhah conceived again and bore Jacob a second son.

vw@Genesis:30:8 @ And Rachel said, With great wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, and I have prevailed. So she called his name Naphtali.

vw@Genesis:30:9 @ And when Leah saw that she had stopped giving birth, she took Zilpah her maid and gave her to Jacob as wife.

vw@Genesis:30:10 @ And Leah’s maid Zilpah bore Jacob a son.

vw@Genesis:30:11 @ And Leah said, Good fortune has come! So she called his name Gad.

vw@Genesis:30:12 @ And Leah’s maid Zilpah bore Jacob a second son.

vw@Genesis:30:13 @ And Leah said, I am happy, for the daughters shall call me blessed. So she called his name Asher.

vw@Genesis:30:14 @ And Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to Leah, Please give me some of your son’s mandrakes.

vw@Genesis:30:15 @ And she said to her, Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son’s mandrakes also? And Rachel said, Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son’s mandrakes.

vw@Genesis:30:16 @ When Jacob came out of the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, You must come in to me, for hiring I have hired you with my son’s mandrakes. And he lay with her that night.

vw@Genesis:30:17 @ And God gave heed to Leah, and she conceived and bore Jacob a fifth son.

vw@Genesis:30:18 @ And Leah said, God has given me my wages, because I have given my maid to my husband. So she called his name Issachar.

vw@Genesis:30:19 @ And Leah conceived again and bore Jacob a sixth son.

vw@Genesis:30:20 @ And Leah said, God has endowed me with a good endowment; this time my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons. So she called his name Zebulun.

vw@Genesis:30:21 @ And afterward she bore a daughter, and called her name Dinah.

vw@Genesis:30:22 @ And God remembered Rachel, and God gave heed to her and opened her womb.

vw@Genesis:30:23 @ And she conceived and bore a son, and said, God has taken away my reproach.

vw@Genesis:30:24 @ So she called his name Joseph, and said, Jehovah shall add to me another son.

vw@Genesis:30:25 @ And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, Send me away, that I may go to my own place and to my own land.

vw@Genesis:30:26 @ Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know my service with which I have served you.

vw@Genesis:30:27 @ And Laban said to him, Please stay, if I have found favor in your eyes, for I have observed the signs that Jehovah has blessed me because of you.

vw@Genesis:30:28 @ And he said, Specify your wages to me, and I will give it.

vw@Genesis:30:29 @ So Jacob said to him, You know how I have served you and how your livestock is with me.

vw@Genesis:30:30 @ For what you had before I came was little, and it has increased into a multitude; Jehovah has blessed you since I stepped foot here. And now, when shall I also provide for my own house?

vw@Genesis:30:31 @ So he said, What shall I give you? And Jacob said, You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will turn back to feed and keep your flocks:

vw@Genesis:30:32 @ Let me pass through all your flock today, removing from there all the speckled and spotted sheep, and all the brown ones among the lambs, and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and these shall be my wages.

vw@Genesis:30:33 @ So my righteousness shall testify for me in time to come, when the subject of my wages comes before you: every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats, and brown among the lambs, will be considered stolen, if it is with me.

vw@Genesis:30:34 @ And Laban said, Oh, that it were according to your word!

vw@Genesis:30:35 @ So he removed that day the male goats that were speckled and spotted, all the female goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had some white in it, and all the brown ones among the lambs, and gave them into the hand of his sons.

vw@Genesis:30:36 @ And he put three days’ journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flocks.

vw@Genesis:30:37 @ And Jacob took for himself rods of green poplar and of the almond and plane trees, peeled white strips in them, and laid bare the white which was in the rods.

vw@Genesis:30:38 @ And the rods which he had peeled, he set before the flocks in the troughs, in the watering troughs where the flocks came to drink, so that they should come into heat when they came to drink.

vw@Genesis:30:39 @ And the flocks mated before the rods, and the flocks gave birth to streaked, speckled, and spotted.

vw@Genesis:30:40 @ And Jacob separated the lambs, and made the flocks face toward the streaked and all the brown in the flock of Laban; but he put his own flocks by themselves and did not put them with Laban’s flock.

vw@Genesis:30:41 @ And it came to pass, whenever the stronger livestock were in heat, that Jacob placed the rods before the eyes of the livestock in the troughs, that they might mate among the rods.

vw@Genesis:30:42 @ And when the flocks were feeble, he did not put them in; so the feebler were Laban’s and the stronger Jacob’s.

vw@Genesis:30:43 @ And the man increased exceedingly greatly, and had many cattle, female and male servants, and camels and donkeys.

vw@Genesis:31:1 @ Now Jacob heard the words of Laban’s sons, saying, Jacob has taken away all that was our father’s, and from what was our father’s he has acquired all this wealth.

vw@Genesis:31:2 @ And Jacob saw the countenance of Laban, and behold, it was not toward him as before.

vw@Genesis:31:3 @ And Jehovah said to Jacob, Return to the land of your fathers and to your kindred, and I will be with you.

vw@Genesis:31:4 @ So Jacob sent and summoned Rachel and Leah to the field, to his flock,

vw@Genesis:31:5 @ and said to them, I see your father’s countenance, that it is not toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.

vw@Genesis:31:6 @ And you know that with all my strength I have served your father.

vw@Genesis:31:7 @ Yet your father has deceived me and changed my wages ten times, but God has not allowed him to do evil to me.

vw@Genesis:31:8 @ If he said thus: The speckled shall be your wages, then all the flocks bore speckled. And if he said thus: The streaked shall be your wages, then all the flocks bore streaked.

vw@Genesis:31:9 @ So God has taken away the livestock of your father and given them to me.

vw@Genesis:31:10 @ And it happened, at the time when the flocks were in heat, that I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the rams which mounted the flocks were streaked, speckled, and spotted.

vw@Genesis:31:11 @ And the Angel of God spoke to me in a dream, saying, Jacob. And I said, Here am I.

vw@Genesis:31:12 @ And He said, Lift up your eyes now and see, all the rams which mount the flocks are streaked, speckled, and spotted; for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you.

vw@Genesis:31:13 @ I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed the pillar and where you vowed a vow to Me. Now arise, get out of this land, and return to the land of your kindred.

vw@Genesis:31:14 @ And Rachel and Leah answered and said to him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father’s house?

vw@Genesis:31:15 @ Are we not considered foreigners by him? For he has sold us, and also devoured and consumed our money.

vw@Genesis:31:16 @ For all these riches which God has taken from our father are ours and our sons’. Now then, whatever God has said to you, do it.

vw@Genesis:31:17 @ Then Jacob arose and set his sons and his wives on camels.

vw@Genesis:31:18 @ And he drove away all his livestock and all his possessions which he had gained, his acquired livestock which he had gained in Paddan, to go to his father Isaac in the land of Canaan.

vw@Genesis:31:19 @ And Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel had stolen the household idols that were her father’s.

vw@Genesis:31:20 @ And Jacob stole away, unknown to Laban the Aramean, in that he did not tell him that he was fleeing.

vw@Genesis:31:21 @ So he fled with all that he had. He arose and crossed the river, and set his face toward the mountains of Gilead.

vw@Genesis:31:22 @ And Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled.

vw@Genesis:31:23 @ And he took his brethren with him and pursued him for seven days’ journey, and he overtook him in the mountains of Gilead.

vw@Genesis:31:24 @ And God come to Laban the Aramean in a dream by night, and said to him, Beware that you not speak to Jacob from good to evil.

vw@Genesis:31:25 @ So Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountains, and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mountains of Gilead.

vw@Genesis:31:26 @ And Laban said to Jacob: What have you done, that you have stolen away unknown to me, and led away my daughters like captives of the sword?

vw@Genesis:31:27 @ Why did you flee away secretly, and steal away from me, and not tell me; for I might have sent you away with joy and songs, with timbrel and harp?

vw@Genesis:31:28 @ And you did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters. Now you have done foolishly in so doing.

vw@Genesis:31:29 @ It is in the power of my hand to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, Beware that you not speak to Jacob from good to evil.

vw@Genesis:31:30 @ And now you have proceeded to depart because you have longed for your father’s house. But why have you stolen my gods?

vw@Genesis:31:31 @ And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid; for I said, Lest you would take your daughters from me by force.

vw@Genesis:31:32 @ With whomever you find your gods, do not let him live. In the presence of our brethren, identify what I have of yours and take it with you. For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.

vw@Genesis:31:33 @ And Laban went into Jacob’s tent, into Leah’s tent, and into the two maidservants’ tents, but he did not find them. Then he went out of Leah’s tent and entered Rachel’s tent.

vw@Genesis:31:34 @ Now Rachel had taken the household idols, put them in the camel’s saddle, and sat on them. And Laban groped all about the tent but did not find them.

vw@Genesis:31:35 @ And she said to her father, Let it not burn in the eyes of my lord that I cannot rise before you, for the manner of women is with me. And he searched but did not find the household idols.

vw@Genesis:31:36 @ And Jacob was furious and complained to Laban, and Jacob answered and said to Laban: What is my transgression? What is my sin, that you have so hotly pursued me?

vw@Genesis:31:37 @ Although you have searched all my things, what of your household articles have you found? Set it here before my brethren and your brethren, that they may judge between us both!

vw@Genesis:31:38 @ These twenty years I have been with you; your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried their young, and I have not eaten the rams of your flock.

vw@Genesis:31:39 @ That which was torn by beasts I did not bring to you; I bore the loss of it. You required it from my hand, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.

vw@Genesis:31:40 @ There I was: In the day the heat consumed me, and the frost by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.

vw@Genesis:31:41 @ Thus I have been in your house twenty years; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock, and you have changed my wages ten times.

vw@Genesis:31:42 @ Unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now you would have sent me away empty. God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, and rebuked you last night.

vw@Genesis:31:43 @ And Laban answered and said to Jacob, These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks; all that you see is mine. But what can I do this day to these my daughters or to their children whom they have borne?

vw@Genesis:31:44 @ Now therefore, come, let us make a covenant, you and me, and let it be a witness between you and me.

vw@Genesis:31:45 @ So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a monument.

vw@Genesis:31:46 @ And Jacob said to his brethren, Gather stones. And they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there on the heap.

vw@Genesis:31:47 @ Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha, but Jacob called it Galeed.

vw@Genesis:31:48 @ And Laban said, This heap is a witness between you and me this day. Therefore its name was called Galeed;

vw@Genesis:31:49 @ also, Mizpah; because he said, May Jehovah watch between you and me when we are hidden (being absent) one from another.

vw@Genesis:31:50 @ If you afflict my daughters, or if you take other wives besides my daughters, although no man is with us; consider that God is witness between you and me.

vw@Genesis:31:51 @ And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap and this pillar, which I have cast between me and you:

vw@Genesis:31:52 @ This heap is a witness, and this pillar is a testimony, that I will not pass beyond this heap to you, and you will not pass beyond this heap and this pillar to me, for evil.

vw@Genesis:31:53 @ The God of Abraham, the God of Nahor, and the God of their father judge between us. And Jacob swore by the fear of his father Isaac.

vw@Genesis:31:54 @ And Jacob slaughtered a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his brethren to eat bread. And they ate bread and stayed all night on the mountain.

vw@Genesis:31:55 @ And early in the morning Laban arose, and kissed his sons and daughters and blessed them. And Laban departed and returned to his place.

vw@Genesis:32:1 @ So Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.

vw@Genesis:32:2 @ And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is the camp of God. And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.

vw@Genesis:32:3 @ And Jacob sent messengers before his face to Esau his brother in the land of Seir, the land of Edom.

vw@Genesis:32:4 @ And he commanded them, saying, Speak thus to my lord Esau, Thus your servant Jacob says: I have sojourned with Laban and stayed there until now.

vw@Genesis:32:5 @ And I have oxen, donkeys, flocks, and male and female servants; and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favor in your eyes.

vw@Genesis:32:6 @ And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying, We came to your brother Esau, and he also is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him.

vw@Genesis:32:7 @ And Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two companies.

vw@Genesis:32:8 @ For he thought, If Esau comes to the one company and strikes it, then the other company which is left shall escape.

vw@Genesis:32:9 @ And Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, Jehovah who said to me, Return to your land and to your kindred, and I will deal well with you:

vw@Genesis:32:10 @ I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the faithfulness which You have done for Your servant; for I crossed over this Jordan with my staff, and now I have become two companies.

vw@Genesis:32:11 @ Rescue me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and strike me, and the mothers to the children.

vw@Genesis:32:12 @ For You said, I will do good to deal well with you, and make your seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.

vw@Genesis:32:13 @ And he lodged there that night, and took what came to his hand as a present for Esau his brother:

vw@Genesis:32:14 @ two hundred female goats and twenty male goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,

vw@Genesis:32:15 @ thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten foals.

vw@Genesis:32:16 @ And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, Pass over before me, and put some space from drove to drove.

vw@Genesis:32:17 @ And he commanded the first one, saying, When Esau my brother meets you and asks you, saying, To whom do you belong, and where are you going? Whose are these before you?

vw@Genesis:32:18 @ then you shall say, They are your servant Jacob’s. It is a present sent to my lord Esau; and behold, he also is behind us.

vw@Genesis:32:19 @ And he commanded the second, the third, and all who followed the droves, saying, You shall speak these words to Esau when you find him;

vw@Genesis:32:20 @ and also say, Behold, your servant Jacob is behind us. For he thought, I will propitiate before his face with the present that goes before me, and afterward when I shall see his face, perhaps he will forgive me.

vw@Genesis:32:21 @ So the present passed over before him, but he himself remained that night in the camp.

vw@Genesis:32:22 @ And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two maidservants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok.

vw@Genesis:32:23 @ He took them, sent them over the brook, and sent over what he had.

vw@Genesis:32:24 @ And Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the dawn began to rise.

vw@Genesis:32:25 @ And when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob’s hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him.

vw@Genesis:32:26 @ And He said, Let Me go, for the dawn has risen. But he said, I will not let You go unless You bless me!

vw@Genesis:32:27 @ And He said to him, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.

vw@Genesis:32:28 @ And He said, Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel; for you have persevered with God and with men, and have prevailed.

vw@Genesis:32:29 @ And Jacob asked, saying, Please tell me Your name. And He said, Why is it that you ask about My name? And He blessed him there.

vw@Genesis:32:30 @ And Jacob called the name of the place Penuel: For I have seen God face to face, and my soul is delivered.

vw@Genesis:32:31 @ Just as he crossed over Penuel the sun rose over him, and he was limping on his thigh.

vw@Genesis:32:32 @ Therefore to this day the children of Israel do not eat the muscle tendon which is on the hip socket, because He touched the socket of Jacob’s hip on the muscle tendon.

vw@Genesis:33:1 @ And Jacob lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and with him were four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two maidservants.

vw@Genesis:33:2 @ And he put the maidservants and their children in front, Leah and her children behind, and Rachel and Joseph last.

vw@Genesis:33:3 @ And he crossed over in front of them and prostrated himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

vw@Genesis:33:4 @ And Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.

vw@Genesis:33:5 @ And he lifted up his eyes and saw the women and children, and said, Who are these with you? And he said, The children whom God has graciously given your servant.

vw@Genesis:33:6 @ Then the maidservants came near, they and their children, and bowed down.

vw@Genesis:33:7 @ And Leah also came near with her children, and they bowed down. Afterward Joseph and Rachel came near, and they bowed down.

vw@Genesis:33:8 @ And Esau said, What do you mean by all this company which I met? And he said, To find favor in the eyes of my lord.

vw@Genesis:33:9 @ And Esau said, I have abundance, my brother; keep what you have to yourself.

vw@Genesis:33:10 @ And Jacob said, No, please, if I have now found favor in your eyes, then receive my present from my hand, inasmuch as I have seen your face as though I had seen the face of God, and you were pleased with me.

vw@Genesis:33:11 @ Please, take my blessing that is brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have everything I need. So he urged him, and he took it.

vw@Genesis:33:12 @ And Esau said, Let us take our journey; let us go, and I will go before you.

vw@Genesis:33:13 @ But Jacob said to him, My lord knows that the children are tender, and the flocks and herds which are nursing are with me. And if the men should drive them hard one day, all the flock will die.

vw@Genesis:33:14 @ Please let my lord go on ahead before his servant. I will lead on gently according to the pace of the livestock that go before me, and the feet of the children, until I come to my lord in Seir.

vw@Genesis:33:15 @ And Esau said, Now let me leave with you some of the people who are with me. But he said, What need is there? Let me find favor in the eyes of my lord.

vw@Genesis:33:16 @ So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.

vw@Genesis:33:17 @ And Jacob journeyed to Succoth, built himself a house, and made booths for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.

vw@Genesis:33:18 @ And Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan; and he pitched his tent before the city.

vw@Genesis:33:19 @ And he bought the parcel of land where he had pitched his tent, from the hand of the sons of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.

vw@Genesis:33:20 @ And he set up an altar there, and called it, El Elohe Israel.

vw@Genesis:34:1 @ Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.

vw@Genesis:34:2 @ And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, chief of the land, saw her, he took her and lay with her, and humbled her.

vw@Genesis:34:3 @ And his soul clung to Dinah the daughter of Jacob, and he loved the girl and spoke to the heart of the girl.

vw@Genesis:34:4 @ And Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, Get this girl for me as a wife.

vw@Genesis:34:5 @ And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. Now his sons were with his livestock in the field; so Jacob held his peace until they came.

vw@Genesis:34:6 @ And Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.

vw@Genesis:34:7 @ And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved and extremely furious, because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob’s daughter, a thing which ought not to be done.

vw@Genesis:34:8 @ And Hamor spoke with them, saying, The soul of my son Shechem longs for your daughter. Please give her to him as a wife.

vw@Genesis:34:9 @ And make marriages with us; give your daughters to us, and take our daughters to yourselves.

vw@Genesis:34:10 @ And you shall dwell with us, and the land is before you. Dwell and trade in it, and acquire possessions in it.

vw@Genesis:34:11 @ And Shechem said to her father and her brothers, Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will give.

vw@Genesis:34:12 @ Ask me ever so much dowry and gift, and I will give according to what you say to me; but give me the girl as a wife.

vw@Genesis:34:13 @ And the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father, and spoke deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister;

vw@Genesis:34:14 @ and they said to them: We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to a man who is uncircumcised, for that would be a reproach to us.

vw@Genesis:34:15 @ But on this condition we will consent to you: If you will become as we are, if every male of you is circumcised,

vw@Genesis:34:16 @ then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters to us; and we will dwell with you, and we will become one people.

vw@Genesis:34:17 @ But if you will not heed us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and be gone.

vw@Genesis:34:18 @ And their words pleased Hamor and Shechem, Hamor’s son.

vw@Genesis:34:19 @ And the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob’s daughter. He was more honorable than all the house of his father.

vw@Genesis:34:20 @ And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying:

vw@Genesis:34:21 @ These men are peaceable with us. Therefore let them dwell in the land and trade in it. For indeed the land is wide of hands before them. Let us take their daughters to us as wives, and let us give our daughters to them.

vw@Genesis:34:22 @ Only on this condition will the men consent to dwell with us, to be one people: if every male among us is circumcised as they are circumcised.

vw@Genesis:34:23 @ Shall not their livestock, their property, and every animal of theirs be ours? Only let us consent to them, and they will dwell with us.

vw@Genesis:34:24 @ And all those going out of the gate of his city heeded Hamor and Shechem his son; every male was circumcised, all those going out of the gate of his city.

vw@Genesis:34:25 @ And it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah’s brothers, each took his sword and came upon the city in its security and killed every male.

vw@Genesis:34:26 @ And they killed Hamor and Shechem his son with the edge of the sword, and fetched Dinah from Shechem’s house, and went out.

vw@Genesis:34:27 @ The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because they had defiled their sister.

vw@Genesis:34:28 @ They took their sheep, their oxen, and their donkeys, what was in the city and what was in the field.

vw@Genesis:34:29 @ All their wealth, all their little ones and their wives they took captive; and they plundered even all that was in the houses.

vw@Genesis:34:30 @ And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have troubled me by making me odious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and since I am few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and kill me. I shall be destroyed, my house and I.

vw@Genesis:34:31 @ And they said, Should he treat our sister like a harlot?

vw@Genesis:35:1 @ And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there; and make an altar there to the Mighty God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.

vw@Genesis:35:2 @ And Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments.

vw@Genesis:35:3 @ Let us arise and go up to Bethel; and I will make an altar there to the Mighty God, who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me in the way which I have gone.

vw@Genesis:35:4 @ So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods which were in their hands, and the earrings which were in their ears; and Jacob hid them under the terebinth tree which was by Shechem.

vw@Genesis:35:5 @ And they journeyed, and the terror of God was upon the cities all around them, and they did not pursue the sons of Jacob.

vw@Genesis:35:6 @ So Jacob came to Luz (which is Bethel), in the land of Canaan, he and all the people with him.

vw@Genesis:35:7 @ And he built an altar there and called the place El Bethel, because there God had revealed Himself to him when he fled from the face of his brother.

vw@Genesis:35:8 @ Now Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak tree. So the name of it was called Allon Bachuth.

vw@Genesis:35:9 @ And God appeared to Jacob again, when he came out of Paddan, and blessed him.

vw@Genesis:35:10 @ And God said to him, Your name is Jacob; your name shall not be called Jacob anymore, but Israel shall be your name. And He called his name Israel.

vw@Genesis:35:11 @ God also said to him: I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come forth from your loins.

vw@Genesis:35:12 @ The land which I gave Abraham and Isaac I give to you; and to your seed after you I give this land.

vw@Genesis:35:13 @ And God ascended from him in the place where He had spoken with him.

vw@Genesis:35:14 @ And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where He had spoken with him, a pillar of stone; and he poured a drink offering on it, and he poured oil on it.

vw@Genesis:35:15 @ And Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him, Bethel.

vw@Genesis:35:16 @ And they journeyed from Bethel. And when there was still some ground to cover to arrive at Ephrath, Rachel was giving birth, and she had hard labor.

vw@Genesis:35:17 @ And it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Do not fear; you shall have this son also.

vw@Genesis:35:18 @ And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-Oni; but his father called him Benjamin.

vw@Genesis:35:19 @ And Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (which is Bethlehem).

vw@Genesis:35:20 @ And Jacob set a pillar on her grave, which is the pillar of Rachel’s grave to this day.

vw@Genesis:35:21 @ And Israel journeyed and pitched his tent beyond Migdal Eder.

vw@Genesis:35:22 @ And it happened, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard about it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:

vw@Genesis:35:23 @ the sons of Leah were Reuben, Jacob’s firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun;

vw@Genesis:35:24 @ the sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin;

vw@Genesis:35:25 @ the sons of Bilhah, Rachel’s maidservant, were Dan and Naphtali;

vw@Genesis:35:26 @ and the sons of Zilpah, Leah’s maidservant, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan.

vw@Genesis:35:27 @ And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, to the city of Arba (which is Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.

vw@Genesis:35:28 @ And the days of Isaac were one hundred and eighty years.

vw@Genesis:35:29 @ And Isaac expired and died, and was gathered to his people, being old and fulfilled in days. And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

vw@Genesis:36:1 @ Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.

vw@Genesis:36:2 @ Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite; Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;

vw@Genesis:36:3 @ and Basemath, Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth.

vw@Genesis:36:4 @ Now Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, and Basemath bore Reuel.

vw@Genesis:36:5 @ And Aholibamah bore Jeush, Jaalam, and Korah. These were the sons of Esau who were born to him in the land of Canaan.

vw@Genesis:36:6 @ And Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the souls of his house, his cattle and all his animals, and all his possessions which he had gained in the land of Canaan, and went to a land away from the presence of his brother Jacob.

vw@Genesis:36:7 @ For their possessions were too great for them to dwell together, and the land where they were sojourners could not support them because of their livestock.

vw@Genesis:36:8 @ So Esau dwelt in Mount Seir. Esau is Edom.

vw@Genesis:36:9 @ And these are the generations of Esau the father of the Edomites in Mount Seir.

vw@Genesis:36:10 @ These were the names of Esau’s sons: Eliphaz the son of Adah the wife of Esau, and Reuel the son of Basemath the wife of Esau.

vw@Genesis:36:11 @ And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho, Gatam, and Kenaz.

vw@Genesis:36:12 @ And Timna was a concubine to Eliphaz, Esau’s son, and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These were the sons of Adah, Esau’s wife.

vw@Genesis:36:13 @ These were the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife.

vw@Genesis:36:14 @ These were the sons of Aholibamah, Esau’s wife, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon. And she bore to Esau: Jeush, Jaalam, and Korah.

vw@Genesis:36:15 @ These were the chiefs of the sons of Esau: The sons of Eliphaz, the firstborn son of Esau, were Chief Teman, Chief Omar, Chief Zepho, Chief Kenaz,

vw@Genesis:36:16 @ Chief Korah, Chief Gatam, and Chief Amalek. These were the chiefs of Eliphaz in the land of Edom. These were the sons of Adah.

vw@Genesis:36:17 @ These were the sons of Reuel, Esau’s son: Chief Nahath, Chief Zerah, Chief Shammah, and Chief Mizzah. These were the chiefs of Reuel in the land of Edom. These were the sons of Basemath, Esau’s wife.

vw@Genesis:36:18 @ And these were the sons of Aholibamah, Esau’s wife: Chief Jeush, Chief Jaalam, and Chief Korah. These were the chiefs from Aholibamah, Esau’s wife, the daughter of Anah.

vw@Genesis:36:19 @ These were the sons of Esau, who is Edom; and these were their chiefs.

vw@Genesis:36:20 @ These were the sons of Seir the Horite who dwelt in the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

vw@Genesis:36:21 @ Dishon, Ezer, and Dishan. These were the chiefs of the Horites, the sons of Seir, in the land of Edom.

vw@Genesis:36:22 @ And the sons of Lotan were Hori and Hemam. Lotan’s sister was Timna.

vw@Genesis:36:23 @ These were the sons of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.

vw@Genesis:36:24 @ These were the sons of Zibeon: both Ajah and Anah. This was the Anah who found the water in the wilderness as he pastured the donkeys of his father Zibeon.

vw@Genesis:36:25 @ These were the children of Anah: Dishon and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah.

vw@Genesis:36:26 @ These were the sons of Dishon: Hemdan, Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran.

vw@Genesis:36:27 @ These were the sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan.

vw@Genesis:36:28 @ These were the sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran.

vw@Genesis:36:29 @ These were the chiefs of the Horites: Chief Lotan, Chief Shobal, Chief Zibeon, Chief Anah,

vw@Genesis:36:30 @ Chief Dishon, Chief Ezer, and Chief Dishan. These were the chiefs of the Horites, according to their chiefs in the land of Seir.

vw@Genesis:36:31 @ Now these were the kings who reigned in the land of Edom before any king reigned over the children of Israel:

vw@Genesis:36:32 @ Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom, and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

vw@Genesis:36:33 @ And Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his place.

vw@Genesis:36:34 @ And Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.

vw@Genesis:36:35 @ And Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who struck Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Avith.

vw@Genesis:36:36 @ And Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place.

vw@Genesis:36:37 @ And Samlah died, and Saul of Rehoboth by the River reigned in his place.

vw@Genesis:36:38 @ And Saul died, and Baal-Hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place.

vw@Genesis:36:39 @ And Baal-Hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Pau; his wife’s name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.

vw@Genesis:36:40 @ And these were the names of the chiefs of Esau, according to their families and their places, by their names: Chief Timnah, Chief Alvah, Chief Jetheth,

vw@Genesis:36:41 @ Chief Aholibamah, Chief Elah, Chief Pinon,

vw@Genesis:36:42 @ Chief Kenaz, Chief Teman, Chief Mibzar,

vw@Genesis:36:43 @ Chief Magdiel, and Chief Iram. These were the chiefs of Edom, according to their dwelling places in the land of their possession. Esau was the father of the Edomites.

vw@Genesis:37:1 @ Now Jacob dwelt in the land where his father was a sojourner, in the land of Canaan.

vw@Genesis:37:2 @ These are the generations of Jacob: Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives; and Joseph brought an evil report of them to his father.

vw@Genesis:37:3 @ Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his sons, because he was the son of his old age. And he made him a tunic reaching to the soles of his feet.

vw@Genesis:37:4 @ But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him.

vw@Genesis:37:5 @ And Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more.

vw@Genesis:37:6 @ And he said to them, Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:

vw@Genesis:37:7 @ For behold, we were binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and behold, your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.

vw@Genesis:37:8 @ And his brothers said to him, Shall you indeed become king over us? Or shall you indeed rule over us? So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.

vw@Genesis:37:9 @ Then he dreamed yet another dream and told it to his brothers, and said, Behold, I have dreamed another dream: and behold, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me.

vw@Genesis:37:10 @ And he told it to his father and his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall it come to pass that your mother and I and your brothers indeed come to prostrate ourselves to the earth before you?

vw@Genesis:37:11 @ And his brothers were jealous of him; but his father treasured up these words.

vw@Genesis:37:12 @ And his brothers went to feed their father’s flock in Shechem.

vw@Genesis:37:13 @ And Israel said to Joseph, Are not your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, I will send you to them. And he said to him, Here I am.

vw@Genesis:37:14 @ And he said to him, Please go and see if it is well with your brothers and well with the flocks, and bring back word to me. So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

vw@Genesis:37:15 @ And a certain man found him, and behold, he was wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying, What are you seeking?

vw@Genesis:37:16 @ And he said, I am seeking my brothers. Please tell me where they are feeding their flocks.

vw@Genesis:37:17 @ And the man said, They have departed from here, for I heard them say, Let us go to Dothan. So Joseph went after his brothers and found them in Dothan.

vw@Genesis:37:18 @ Now when they saw him from a distance, even before he came near them, they conspired against him to kill him.

vw@Genesis:37:19 @ And they said to one another, Behold, this master of dreams is coming!

vw@Genesis:37:20 @ Come now therefore, let us kill him and cast him into a pit; and we will say, Some evil beast has devoured him. And we shall see what will become of his dreams!

vw@Genesis:37:21 @ But Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands, and said, Let us not smite his soul.

vw@Genesis:37:22 @ And Reuben said to them, Do not shed blood, but cast him into this pit which is in the wilderness, and do not lay a hand on him; that he might rescue him out of their hands, and bring him back to his father.

vw@Genesis:37:23 @ So it came to pass, when Joseph had come to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic reaching to the soles of his feet.

vw@Genesis:37:24 @ And they took him and cast him into a pit. And the pit was empty; there was no water in it.

vw@Genesis:37:25 @ And they sat down to eat food. And they lifted up their eyes and looked, and behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing spices, balm, and myrrh, going and bringing them down to Egypt.

vw@Genesis:37:26 @ And Judah said to his brothers, What profit is there if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?

vw@Genesis:37:27 @ Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother and our flesh. And his brothers agreed.

vw@Genesis:37:28 @ Then some Midianite traders passed by; and the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelites for twenty pieces of silver. And they brought Joseph into Egypt.

vw@Genesis:37:29 @ And Reuben returned to the pit, and behold, Joseph was not in the pit; and he tore his clothes.

vw@Genesis:37:30 @ And he returned to his brothers and said, The lad is no more; and I, where shall I go?

vw@Genesis:37:31 @ And they took Joseph’s tunic, killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood.

vw@Genesis:37:32 @ And they sent the tunic reaching to the soles of the feet, and they brought it to their father and said, We have found this. Do you recognize whether it is your son’s tunic or not?

vw@Genesis:37:33 @ And he recognized it and said, It is my son’s tunic. An evil beast has devoured him. Joseph has been rent and torn to pieces.

vw@Genesis:37:34 @ And Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his loins, and mourned for his son many days.

vw@Genesis:37:35 @ And all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted, and he said, I will go down into Sheol mourning for my son. Thus his father wept for him.

vw@Genesis:37:36 @ Now the Midianites had sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.

vw@Genesis:38:1 @ It came to pass at that time that Judah departed from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite whose name was Hirah.

vw@Genesis:38:2 @ And Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua, and he took her and went in to her.

vw@Genesis:38:3 @ And she conceived and bore a son, and he called his name Er.

vw@Genesis:38:4 @ She conceived again and bore a son, and she called his name Onan.

vw@Genesis:38:5 @ And she did so again and bore a son, and called his name Shelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him.

vw@Genesis:38:6 @ Then Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.

vw@Genesis:38:7 @ But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and Jehovah killed him.

vw@Genesis:38:8 @ And Judah said to Onan, Go in to your brother’s wife and marry her, and raise up seed to your brother.

vw@Genesis:38:9 @ But Onan knew that the heir would not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother’s wife, that he spoiled it on the ground, so as not to give seed to his brother.

vw@Genesis:38:10 @ And the thing which he did made the eye of Jehovah quiver; therefore He killed him also.

vw@Genesis:38:11 @ Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, Remain a widow in your father’s house till my son Shelah is grown. For he thought, Lest he also die like his brothers. And Tamar went and dwelt in her father’s house.

vw@Genesis:38:12 @ Now in the process of time the daughter of Shua, Judah’s wife, died; and Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

vw@Genesis:38:13 @ And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, your father-in-law is going up to Timnah to shear his sheep.

vw@Genesis:38:14 @ And she took off her widow’s garments, covered herself with a veil and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place which was on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as a wife.

vw@Genesis:38:15 @ When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot, because she had veiled her face.

vw@Genesis:38:16 @ And he turned aside to her by the way, and said, Please let me come in to you; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. So she said, What will you give me, that you may come in to me?

vw@Genesis:38:17 @ And he said, I will send a young goat from the flock. And she said, Will you give me a pledge till you send it?

vw@Genesis:38:18 @ And he said, What pledge shall I give you? So she said, Your signet ring and cord, and your staff that is in your hand. And he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.

vw@Genesis:38:19 @ So she arose and went away, and laid aside her veil and put on the garments of her widowhood.

vw@Genesis:38:20 @ And Judah sent the young goat by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman’s hand, but he did not find her.

vw@Genesis:38:21 @ Then he asked the men of that place, saying, Where is the harlot who was openly by the wayside? And they said, There was no harlot here.

vw@Genesis:38:22 @ So he returned to Judah and said, I have not found her. Also, the men of the place said there was no harlot there.

vw@Genesis:38:23 @ And Judah said, Let her take them for herself, that we not be held in contempt; for I sent this young goat and you have not found her.

vw@Genesis:38:24 @ And it came to pass, after about three months, that Judah was told, saying, Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot; furthermore she is with child by prostitution. So Judah said, Bring her out and let her be burned!

vw@Genesis:38:25 @ When she was brought out, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, By the man to whom these belong, I am with child. And she said, Please acknowledge whose these are; the signet ring and cord, and staff.

vw@Genesis:38:26 @ And Judah acknowledged them and said, She has been more righteous than I, because I did not give her to Shelah my son. And he never knew her again.

vw@Genesis:38:27 @ And it came to pass, at the time for giving birth, that behold, twins were in her womb.

vw@Genesis:38:28 @ And so it was, when she was giving birth, that the one put out his hand; and the midwife took a scarlet thread and tied it on his hand, saying, This one came out first.

vw@Genesis:38:29 @ And it happened, as he drew back his hand, that his brother came forth; and she said, How have you broken through this breach for yourself? Therefore his name was called Perez.

vw@Genesis:38:30 @ And afterward out came his brother who had the scarlet thread on his hand. And his name was called Zerah.

vw@Genesis:39:1 @ Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian man, bought him from the hands of the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there.

vw@Genesis:39:2 @ And Jehovah was with Joseph, and he was a prosperous man; and he was in the house of his master the Egyptian.

vw@Genesis:39:3 @ And his master saw that Jehovah was with him and that Jehovah made all he did to prosper in his hand.

vw@Genesis:39:4 @ And Joseph found favor in his eyes, and served him. And he appointed him over his house, and all that he had he entrusted to his hand.

vw@Genesis:39:5 @ And it came to pass, from the time that he had appointed him over his house and all that he had, that Jehovah blessed the Egyptian’s house for Joseph’s sake; and the blessing of Jehovah was upon all that he had in the house and in the field.

vw@Genesis:39:6 @ Thus he left all that he had in Joseph’s hand, and he did not know what he had except for the bread which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome and good looking.

vw@Genesis:39:7 @ And it came to pass after these things that his master’s wife cast her eyes upon Joseph, and she said, Lie with me.

vw@Genesis:39:8 @ But he refused and said to his master’s wife, Behold, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has entrusted all that he has into my hand.

vw@Genesis:39:9 @ There is no one greater in this house than I, nor has he kept back anything from me but you, because you are his wife. How then can I do this great evil, and sin against God?

vw@Genesis:39:10 @ And it came to pass, as she spoke to Joseph day after day, that he did not give heed to her, to lie with her or to be with her.

vw@Genesis:39:11 @ And it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house were inside,

vw@Genesis:39:12 @ that she caught him by his garment, saying, Lie with me. But he left his garment in her hand, and fled and went outside.

vw@Genesis:39:13 @ And it came to pass, when she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,

vw@Genesis:39:14 @ that she summoned the men of her house and spoke to them, saying, Behold, he has brought in to us a Hebrew man to make sport of us. He came in to me to lie with me, and I cried out with a loud voice.

vw@Genesis:39:15 @ And it happened, when he heard that I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went outside.

vw@Genesis:39:16 @ So she kept his garment with her until his master came into the house.

vw@Genesis:39:17 @ And she spoke to him with words like these, saying, The Hebrew servant whom you brought to us came in to me to make sport of me;

vw@Genesis:39:18 @ and it happened, as I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me and fled outside.

vw@Genesis:39:19 @ And it came to pass, when his master heard the words which his wife spoke to him, saying, Your servant did to me after this manner, that his anger burned.

vw@Genesis:39:20 @ And Joseph’s master took him and put him into the prison house, the place where the king’s prisoners were confined. And he was there in the prison house.

vw@Genesis:39:21 @ But Jehovah was with Joseph and extended mercy to him, and He gave him favor in the eyes of the warden of the prison house.

vw@Genesis:39:22 @ And the warden of the prison house entrusted into Joseph’s hand all the prisoners who were in the prison house; whatever they did there, it was his doing.

vw@Genesis:39:23 @ The warden of the prison house did not oversee anything that was under his hand, because Jehovah was with him; and whatever he did, Jehovah made it prosper.

vw@Genesis:40:1 @ And it came to pass after these things that the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt committed offense against their lord, the king of Egypt.

vw@Genesis:40:2 @ And Pharaoh was angry with his two officers, the chief cupbearer and the chief baker.

vw@Genesis:40:3 @ And he put them into custody in the house of the captain of the guard, in the prison house, the place where Joseph was confined.

vw@Genesis:40:4 @ And the captain of the guard assigned Joseph to them, and he served them; so they were in custody for a time.

vw@Genesis:40:5 @ And the cupbearer and the baker of the king of Egypt, who were confined in the prison, had a dream, both of them, each man’s dream in one night and each man’s dream with its own interpretation.

vw@Genesis:40:6 @ And Joseph came in to them in the morning and looked at them, and behold they appeared to be troubled.

vw@Genesis:40:7 @ So he asked Pharaoh’s officers who were with him in the custody of his lord’s house, saying, Why are your faces sad today?

vw@Genesis:40:8 @ And they said to him, We each have had a dream, and there is no interpreter. So Joseph said to them, Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, please.

vw@Genesis:40:9 @ And the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, Behold, in my dream a vine was before me,

vw@Genesis:40:10 @ and in the vine were three branches; it was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes.

vw@Genesis:40:11 @ And Pharaoh’s cup was in my hand; and I took the grapes and pressed them into Pharaoh’s cup, and put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.

vw@Genesis:40:12 @ And Joseph said to him, This is the interpretation: The three branches are three days.

vw@Genesis:40:13 @ Yet within three days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your place, and you shall put Pharaoh’s cup into his hand according to the former custom, when you were his cupbearer.

vw@Genesis:40:14 @ But remember me when it is well with you, and please show kindness to me; make mention of me to Pharaoh, and bring me out of this house.

vw@Genesis:40:15 @ For truly I was stolen away out of the land of the Hebrews; and also I have done nothing here that they should have put me into the dungeon.

vw@Genesis:40:16 @ When the chief baker saw that the interpretation was good, he said to Joseph, I also in my dream saw three baskets of white bread on my head.

vw@Genesis:40:17 @ And in the top basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.

vw@Genesis:40:18 @ And Joseph answered and said, This is the interpretation: The three baskets are three days.

vw@Genesis:40:19 @ Yet within three days Pharaoh will lift off your head from you and hang you on a tree; and the birds shall eat your flesh from off you.

vw@Genesis:40:20 @ And it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh’s birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and of the chief baker among his servants.

vw@Genesis:40:21 @ And he restored the chief cupbearer to his cupbearing again, and he put the cup into Pharaoh’s hand.

vw@Genesis:40:22 @ But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.

vw@Genesis:40:23 @ Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.

vw@Genesis:41:1 @ Then it came to pass, at the end of two years of days, that Pharaoh was dreaming: And behold, he was standing by the river.

vw@Genesis:41:2 @ And behold, there came up out of the river seven cows, fine looking and fat of flesh; and they fed in the marshes.

vw@Genesis:41:3 @ And behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, bad looking and thin of flesh, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river.

vw@Genesis:41:4 @ And the bad looking and thin-fleshed cows ate up the seven fine looking and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.

vw@Genesis:41:5 @ And he went to sleep and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, plump and good.

vw@Genesis:41:6 @ And behold, seven thin heads, scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.

vw@Genesis:41:7 @ And the seven thin heads devoured the seven plump and full heads. And Pharaoh awoke, and lo, it was a dream.

vw@Genesis:41:8 @ And it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and summoned all the astrologers of Egypt and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh.

vw@Genesis:41:9 @ Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying: I remember my offenses this day.

vw@Genesis:41:10 @ When Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me into custody in the house of the captain of the guard, both me and the chief baker,

vw@Genesis:41:11 @ we each dreamed a dream in one night, he and I. Each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his dream.

vw@Genesis:41:12 @ And there was a Hebrew lad with us there, a servant of the captain of the guard. And we told him, and he interpreted our dreams for us; to each man he interpreted according to his dream.

vw@Genesis:41:13 @ And it came to pass, just as he interpreted for us, so it happened. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.

vw@Genesis:41:14 @ Then Pharaoh sent and summoned Joseph, and they rushed him out of the dungeon; and he shaved, changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh.

vw@Genesis:41:15 @ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that you can understand a dream, to interpret it.

vw@Genesis:41:16 @ And Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, It is someone besides me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.

vw@Genesis:41:17 @ And Pharaoh said to Joseph: Behold, in my dream I stood on the bank of the river.

vw@Genesis:41:18 @ And behold, seven cows came up out of the river, fat of flesh and fine looking; and they fed in the marshes.

vw@Genesis:41:19 @ And behold, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very bad looking and thin of flesh, such badness as I have never seen in all the land of Egypt.

vw@Genesis:41:20 @ And the thin and bad cows ate up the first seven fat cows.

vw@Genesis:41:21 @ And when they had entered their stomachs, it would not have been known that they had entered their stomachs, for they looked just as bad as at the beginning. So I awoke.

vw@Genesis:41:22 @ Also I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good.

vw@Genesis:41:23 @ And behold, seven heads, withered, thin, and scorched by the east wind, sprouted up after them.

vw@Genesis:41:24 @ And the thin heads devoured the seven good heads. And I told this to the astrologers, but no one could explain it to me.

vw@Genesis:41:25 @ And Joseph said to Pharaoh, The dreams of Pharaoh are one; God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do:

vw@Genesis:41:26 @ The seven good cows are seven years, and the seven good heads are seven years; the dreams are one.

vw@Genesis:41:27 @ And the seven thin and bad cows which came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty heads scorched by the east wind are seven years of famine.

vw@Genesis:41:28 @ This is the word which I have spoken to Pharaoh: God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.

vw@Genesis:41:29 @ Behold, seven years of great plenty are coming throughout all the land of Egypt;

vw@Genesis:41:30 @ and after them seven years of famine will arise, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine will deplete the land.

vw@Genesis:41:31 @ And the plenty will not be perceived in the land because of the famine following after, for it will be very severe.

vw@Genesis:41:32 @ And the dream was repeated unto Pharaoh twice because the thing is determined by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

vw@Genesis:41:33 @ Now therefore, let Pharaoh look for a discerning and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.

vw@Genesis:41:34 @ Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint deputies over the land, to collect one-fifth of the produce of the land of Egypt during the seven years of plenty.

vw@Genesis:41:35 @ And let them gather all the food of those good years that are coming, and store up grain for food in the cities under the hand of Pharaoh, and let them guard it.

vw@Genesis:41:36 @ And that food shall be as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which shall be in the land of Egypt, that the land may not perish during the famine.

vw@Genesis:41:37 @ And the word was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.

vw@Genesis:41:38 @ And Pharaoh said to his servants, Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?

vw@Genesis:41:39 @ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Inasmuch as God has made all this known to you, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.

vw@Genesis:41:40 @ You shall be over my house, and all my people shall be ruled according to your word; only in regard to the throne will I be greater than you.

vw@Genesis:41:41 @ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.

vw@Genesis:41:42 @ And Pharaoh took his signet ring off his hand and put it on Joseph’s hand; and he clothed him in garments of fine linen and put a gold chain around his neck.

vw@Genesis:41:43 @ And he made him ride in the second chariot which he had; and they cried out before him, Bow the knee! So he set him over all the land of Egypt.

vw@Genesis:41:44 @ And Pharaoh also said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh, and without you no man may lift his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.

vw@Genesis:41:45 @ And Pharaoh called Joseph’s name Zaphnath-Paaneah. And he gave him as a wife Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On. So Joseph went out over all the land of Egypt.

vw@Genesis:41:46 @ Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

vw@Genesis:41:47 @ And in the seven years of plenty the land brought forth by handfuls.

vw@Genesis:41:48 @ And he gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities; he laid up in every city the food of the fields which surrounded them.

vw@Genesis:41:49 @ And Joseph gathered very much grain, as the sand of the sea, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.

vw@Genesis:41:50 @ And unto Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him.

vw@Genesis:41:51 @ And Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh: For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father’s house.

vw@Genesis:41:52 @ And the name of the second he called Ephraim: For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.

vw@Genesis:41:53 @ And the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Egypt ended,

vw@Genesis:41:54 @ and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. And the famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

vw@Genesis:41:55 @ And when all the land of Egypt was hungry, the people cried out to Pharaoh for bread. And Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, do.

vw@Genesis:41:56 @ And the famine was over all the face of the earth, and Joseph opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine became severe in the land of Egypt.

vw@Genesis:41:57 @ And all earth came to Joseph in Egypt to buy, because the famine was severe in all the earth.

vw@Genesis:42:1 @ Now when Jacob learned that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, Why are you looking at each other?

vw@Genesis:42:2 @ And he said, Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt. Go down to that place and buy for us from there, that we may live and not die.

vw@Genesis:42:3 @ And Joseph’s ten brothers went down to buy grain in Egypt.

vw@Genesis:42:4 @ But Jacob did not send Joseph’s brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he thought, Lest he encounter some harm.

vw@Genesis:42:5 @ And the sons of Israel went to buy grain among those who journeyed, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.

vw@Genesis:42:6 @ And Joseph was lord over the land; and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph’s brothers came and bowed down before him, their faces to the earth.

vw@Genesis:42:7 @ And Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he acted as a stranger to them and spoke harshly to them, and he said to them, Where have you come from? And they said, From the land of Canaan to buy food.

vw@Genesis:42:8 @ And Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.

vw@Genesis:42:9 @ And Joseph remembered the dreams which he had dreamed about them, and said to them, You are spies! You have come to see the nakedness of the land!

vw@Genesis:42:10 @ And they said to him, No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.

vw@Genesis:42:11 @ We are all sons of one man; we are honest; your servants are not spies.

vw@Genesis:42:12 @ And he said to them, No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land.

vw@Genesis:42:13 @ And they said, Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and lo, the youngest is with our father today, and one is not.

vw@Genesis:42:14 @ And Joseph said to them, It is as I have spoken to you, saying, You are spies!

vw@Genesis:42:15 @ In this manner you shall be tested: By the life of Pharaoh, you shall not leave this place unless your youngest brother comes here.

vw@Genesis:42:16 @ Send one of you, and let him bring your brother; and you shall be kept in prison, that your words may be proven to see whether there is any truth in you; or else, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies!

vw@Genesis:42:17 @ So he put them all together in prison three days.

vw@Genesis:42:18 @ And Joseph said to them the third day, Do this and live, for I fear God:

vw@Genesis:42:19 @ If you are honest, let one of your brothers be confined to your prison house; but you, go and carry grain for the famine of your houses.

vw@Genesis:42:20 @ And bring your youngest brother to me; so your words will be verified, and you shall not die. And they did so.

vw@Genesis:42:21 @ And they said to one another, We are truly guilty concerning our brother, for we saw the anguish of his soul when he pleaded with us, and we would not listen; therefore this distress has come upon us.

vw@Genesis:42:22 @ And Reuben answered them, saying, Did I not speak to you, saying, Do not sin against the boy; and you would not listen? Therefore behold, his blood is now required of us.

vw@Genesis:42:23 @ But they did not know that Joseph understood them, for he spoke to them through an interpreter.

vw@Genesis:42:24 @ And he turned himself away from them and wept, and returned to them again, and talked with them. And he took Simeon from them and bound him before their eyes.

vw@Genesis:42:25 @ And Joseph commanded to fill their sacks with grain, to restore every man’s money to his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. Thus he did for them.

vw@Genesis:42:26 @ And they loaded their donkeys with the grain and departed from there.

vw@Genesis:42:27 @ And as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey feed at the lodging, he saw his money; and behold, it was in the mouth of his sack.

vw@Genesis:42:28 @ And he said to his brothers, My money has been restored, and lo, it is in my sack! And their hearts failed them and they were afraid, saying to one another, What is this that God has done to us?

vw@Genesis:42:29 @ And they went to Jacob their father in the land of Canaan and told him all that had befallen them, saying:

vw@Genesis:42:30 @ The man who is lord of the land spoke harshly to us, and took us for spies in the land.

vw@Genesis:42:31 @ And we said to him, We are honest; we are not spies.

vw@Genesis:42:32 @ We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is not, and the youngest is with our father this day in the land of Canaan.

vw@Genesis:42:33 @ And the man, the lord of the land, said to us, By this I will know that you are honest: Leave one of your brothers here with me, take food for the famine of your houses, and go.

vw@Genesis:42:34 @ And bring your youngest brother to me; so I shall know that you are not spies, but that you are honest. I will give your brother to you, and you may trade in the land.

vw@Genesis:42:35 @ And it happened as they emptied their sacks, that behold, each man’s bundle of money was in his sack; and when they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.

vw@Genesis:42:36 @ And Jacob their father said to them, You have bereaved me: Joseph is not, Simeon is not, and you would take Benjamin. All these things are against me.

vw@Genesis:42:37 @ And Reuben spoke to his father, saying, Kill my two sons if I do not bring him back to you; put him in my hands, and I will bring him back to you.

vw@Genesis:42:38 @ But he said, My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is left alone. If any harm should befall him along the way in which you go, then you would bring down my gray hair in sorrow to Sheol.

vw@Genesis:43:1 @ Now the famine was severe in the land.

vw@Genesis:43:2 @ And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought from Egypt, that their father said to them, Go back, buy us a little food.

vw@Genesis:43:3 @ And Judah spoke to him, saying, The man solemnly charged us, saying, You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.

vw@Genesis:43:4 @ If you send our brother with us, we will go down and buy food for you.

vw@Genesis:43:5 @ But if you will not send him, we will not go down; for the man said to us, You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.

vw@Genesis:43:6 @ And Israel said, Why did you deal so wickedly with me as to tell the man whether you had yet another brother?

vw@Genesis:43:7 @ And they said, The man sought to ask us about ourselves and our kindred, saying, Is your father still alive? Have you another brother? And we told him these words with our mouths. Could we possibly have known that he would say, Bring your brother down?

vw@Genesis:43:8 @ And Judah said to Israel his father, Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones.

vw@Genesis:43:9 @ I myself will be surety for him; from my hand you shall require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then I shall bear the guilt forever.

vw@Genesis:43:10 @ For if we had not delayed, surely by now we would have returned this second time.

vw@Genesis:43:11 @ And their father Israel said to them, If it must be so, then do this: Take some of the best fruits of the land in your vessels and carry down a present for the man; a little balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh, nuts and almonds.

vw@Genesis:43:12 @ Take double money in your hand, and take back in your hand the money that was returned in the mouth of your sacks; perhaps it was an oversight.

vw@Genesis:43:13 @ Take your brother also, and arise, go back to the man.

vw@Genesis:43:14 @ And may God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved, I am bereaved!

vw@Genesis:43:15 @ So the men took this present and Benjamin, and they took double money in their hand, and arose and went down to Egypt, and stood before Joseph.

vw@Genesis:43:16 @ And when Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, Take these men to my house, and slaughter an animal and make ready; for these men shall dine with me at noon.

vw@Genesis:43:17 @ And the man did as Joseph commanded, and the man brought the men into Joseph’s house.

vw@Genesis:43:18 @ And the men were afraid because they were brought into Joseph’s house; and they said, It is because of the money, which was returned in our sacks the first time, that we are brought in, so that he may roll against us and fall upon us, to take us as slaves with our donkeys.

vw@Genesis:43:19 @ And they came near to the steward of Joseph’s house and spoke with him at the entrance of the house,

vw@Genesis:43:20 @ and said, O sir, we indeed came down the first time to buy food;

vw@Genesis:43:21 @ but it happened, when we came to the lodging place, that we opened our sacks, and behold, each man’s money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight; so we have brought it back in our hand.

vw@Genesis:43:22 @ And we have brought down other money in our hands to buy food. We do not know who put our money in our sacks.

vw@Genesis:43:23 @ And he said, Peace to you, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks; I had your money. And he brought Simeon out to them.

vw@Genesis:43:24 @ So the man brought the men into Joseph’s house and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their donkeys feed.

vw@Genesis:43:25 @ And they made the present ready for Joseph’s coming at noon, for they heard that they would eat bread there.

vw@Genesis:43:26 @ And when Joseph came into the house, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and prostrated before him to the earth.

vw@Genesis:43:27 @ And he asked after their welfare, and said, Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?

vw@Genesis:43:28 @ And they answered, Your servant our father is in good health; he is still alive. And they bowed down and prostrated themselves.

vw@Genesis:43:29 @ And he lifted up his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother’s son, and said, Is this your younger brother of whom you spoke to me? And he said, God be gracious to you, my son.

vw@Genesis:43:30 @ Now his compassions yearned for his brother; so Joseph made haste and sought somewhere to weep. And he went into his chamber and wept there.

vw@Genesis:43:31 @ And he washed his face and came out; and he restrained himself, and said, Serve the food.

vw@Genesis:43:32 @ And they set him a place by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves; because the Egyptians could not eat food with the Hebrews, for that is an abomination to the Egyptians.

vw@Genesis:43:33 @ And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth; and the men were astonished at one another.

vw@Genesis:43:34 @ And he took portions to them from before him, but Benjamin’s portion was five hands greater than any of theirs. So they drank and were drunken with him.

vw@Genesis:44:1 @ And he commanded the steward of his house, saying, Fill the men’s sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man’s money in the mouth of his sack.

vw@Genesis:44:2 @ And put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his grain money. So he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.

vw@Genesis:44:3 @ As soon as the morning had dawned, the men were sent away, they and their donkeys.

vw@Genesis:44:4 @ And when they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, Arise and pursue the men; and when you have overtaken them, say to them, Why have you repaid evil for good?

vw@Genesis:44:5 @ Is not this the one from which my lord drinks, and with which he indeed practices divination? You have done evil in so doing.

vw@Genesis:44:6 @ So he overtook them, and he spoke to them these same words.

vw@Genesis:44:7 @ And they said to him, Why does my lord say these words? Far be it from us that your servants should do such a thing.

vw@Genesis:44:8 @ Behold, we brought back to you from the land of Canaan the money which we found in the mouth of our sacks. How then could we steal silver or gold from your lord’s house?

vw@Genesis:44:9 @ With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord’s slaves.

vw@Genesis:44:10 @ And he said, Now also let it be according to your words; he with whom it is found shall be my slave, and you shall be innocent.

vw@Genesis:44:11 @ And each man hastened to let down his sack to the ground, and each man opened his sack.

vw@Genesis:44:12 @ And he searched. He began with the oldest and finished with the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin’s sack.

vw@Genesis:44:13 @ Then they tore their clothes, and each man loaded his donkey and returned to the city.

vw@Genesis:44:14 @ And Judah and his brothers came to Joseph’s house, and he was still there; and they prostrated before him on the ground.

vw@Genesis:44:15 @ And Joseph said to them, What deed is this you have done? Did you not know that such a man as I can certainly practice divination?

vw@Genesis:44:16 @ And Judah said, What shall we say to my lord? What shall we speak? Or how shall we justify ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants; behold, we are my lord’s slaves, both we and he also with whom the cup was found.

vw@Genesis:44:17 @ And he said, Far be it from me that I should do so; the man in whose hand the cup was found, he shall be my slave. And as for you, go up in peace to your father.

vw@Genesis:44:18 @ Then Judah came near to him and said: O my lord, please let your servant speak a word in the ears of my lord, and do not let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even as Pharaoh.

vw@Genesis:44:19 @ My lord asked his servants, saying, Have you a father or a brother?

vw@Genesis:44:20 @ And we said to my lord, We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, who is young; his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, and his father loves him.

vw@Genesis:44:21 @ And you said to your servants, Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes upon him.

vw@Genesis:44:22 @ And we said to my lord, The lad cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.

vw@Genesis:44:23 @ But you said to your servants, Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you shall see my face no more.

vw@Genesis:44:24 @ And it came to pass, when we went up to your servant my father, that we told him the words of my lord.

vw@Genesis:44:25 @ And our father said, Go back and buy us a little food.

vw@Genesis:44:26 @ And we said, We cannot go down; if our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down; for we may not see the man’s face unless our youngest brother is with us.

vw@Genesis:44:27 @ And your servant my father said to us, You know that my wife bore me two sons;

vw@Genesis:44:28 @ and the one went out from me, and I said, Surely he is torn to pieces; and I have not seen him since.

vw@Genesis:44:29 @ And if you take this one also from before me, and harm befalls him, you shall bring down my gray hair with sorrow to Sheol.

vw@Genesis:44:30 @ Now therefore, when I come to your servant my father, and the lad is not with us, since his soul is bound up in the lad’s soul,

vw@Genesis:44:31 @ it shall come to pass, when he sees that the lad is not with us, that he will die. So your servants will bring down the gray hair of your servant our father with sorrow to Sheol.

vw@Genesis:44:32 @ For your servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, If I do not bring him back to you, then I shall bear the guilt before my father for all time.

vw@Genesis:44:33 @ Now therefore, please let your servant remain instead of the lad as a slave to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brothers.

vw@Genesis:44:34 @ For how shall I go up to my father if the lad is not with me, lest perhaps I see the evil that would come upon my father?

vw@Genesis:45:1 @ Then Joseph could not restrain himself before all those who stood by him, and he cried out, Make everyone go out from me! So no one stood with him while Joseph made himself known to his brothers.

vw@Genesis:45:2 @ And he wept aloud, and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard it.

vw@Genesis:45:3 @ And Joseph said to his brothers, I am Joseph; is my father still alive? But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed at his presence.

vw@Genesis:45:4 @ And Joseph said to his brothers, Please come near to me. So they came near. And he said: I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.

vw@Genesis:45:5 @ But now, do not therefore be grieved or angry in your eyes because you sold me here; for God has sent me before you to preserve life.

vw@Genesis:45:6 @ For these two years the famine has been in the land, and there are yet five years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvesting.

vw@Genesis:45:7 @ And God sent me before you to preserve you as a remnant in the earth, and to keep you alive by a great deliverance.

vw@Genesis:45:8 @ So now it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and a ruler throughout all the land of Egypt.

vw@Genesis:45:9 @ Hurry and go up to my father, and say to him, Thus says your son Joseph: God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, do not delay.

vw@Genesis:45:10 @ And you shall dwell in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near to me, you and your children, your children’s children, your flocks and your herds, and all that you have.

vw@Genesis:45:11 @ And I will nourish you there, so that you and your house, and all that you have, not come to poverty; for there are yet five years of famine.

vw@Genesis:45:12 @ And behold, your eyes and the eyes of my brother Benjamin see that it is my mouth that is speaking to you.

vw@Genesis:45:13 @ And you shall tell my father of all my glory in Egypt, and of all that you have seen; and you shall hurry and bring my father down here.

vw@Genesis:45:14 @ And he fell on the neck of his brother Benjamin and wept, and Benjamin wept on his neck.

vw@Genesis:45:15 @ Moreover he kissed all his brothers and wept over them, and after that his brothers talked with him.

vw@Genesis:45:16 @ And the report of it was heard in Pharaoh’s house, saying, Joseph’s brothers have come. And it was well pleasing in the eyes of Pharaoh and his servants.

vw@Genesis:45:17 @ And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Say to your brothers, Do this: Load your animals and depart; go to the land of Canaan.

vw@Genesis:45:18 @ And bring your father and your households and come to me; I will give you the good of the land of Egypt, and you shall eat the fat of the land.

vw@Genesis:45:19 @ Now you are commanded; do this: Take wagons out of the land of Egypt for your little ones and your wives; bring your father and come.

vw@Genesis:45:20 @ Also do not be concerned about your goods, for the good of all the land of Egypt is yours.

vw@Genesis:45:21 @ And the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them wagons, according to the mouth of Pharaoh, and he gave them provisions for the journey.

vw@Genesis:45:22 @ He gave to all of them, to each man, changes of garments; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of garments.

vw@Genesis:45:23 @ And he sent to his father these things: ten donkeys loaded with the good things of Egypt, and ten female donkeys loaded with grain, bread, and food for his father for the journey.

vw@Genesis:45:24 @ So he sent his brothers away, and they departed; and he said to them, See that you do not become perturbed along the way.

vw@Genesis:45:25 @ And they went up out of Egypt, and came to the land of Canaan to Jacob their father.

vw@Genesis:45:26 @ And they told him, saying, Joseph is still alive, and he is ruling over all the land of Egypt. And his heart became numb, for he did not believe them.

vw@Genesis:45:27 @ But when they told him all the words which Joseph had spoken to them, and when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.

vw@Genesis:45:28 @ And Israel said, It is enough! Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.

vw@Genesis:46:1 @ So Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beer-sheba. And he offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

vw@Genesis:46:2 @ And God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and called out, Jacob! Jacob! And he said, Here am I.

vw@Genesis:46:3 @ And He said, I am the Mighty God, the God of your fathers. Do not fear to go down to Egypt, for I will make of you a great nation there.

vw@Genesis:46:4 @ I will go down with you into Egypt, and I will arise to bring you back. And Joseph shall put his hand on your eyes.

vw@Genesis:46:5 @ And Jacob arose from Beer-sheba; and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob, their little ones, and their wives, in the wagons which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.

vw@Genesis:46:6 @ So they took their livestock and their possessions which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and came into Egypt, Jacob and all his seed with him.

vw@Genesis:46:7 @ His sons and his sons’ sons, his daughters and his sons’ daughters, and all his seed he brought with him into Egypt.

vw@Genesis:46:8 @ And these were the names of the sons of Israel who went into Egypt, Jacob and his sons: Reuben was Jacob’s firstborn.

vw@Genesis:46:9 @ The sons of Reuben were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.

vw@Genesis:46:10 @ The sons of Simeon were Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman.

vw@Genesis:46:11 @ The sons of Levi were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

vw@Genesis:46:13 @ The sons of Issachar were Tola, Puvah, Job, and Shimron.

vw@Genesis:46:14 @ The sons of Zebulun were Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.

vw@Genesis:46:15 @ These were the sons of Leah, whom she bore to Jacob in Paddan, with his daughter Dinah. All the souls, his sons and his daughters: thirty-three.

vw@Genesis:46:16 @ The sons of Gad were Ziphion, Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon, Eri, Arodi, and Areli.

vw@Genesis:46:17 @ The sons of Asher were Jimnah, Ishuah, Isui, Beriah, and Serah, their sister. And the sons of Beriah were Heber and Malchiel.

vw@Genesis:46:18 @ These were the sons of Zilpah, whom Laban gave to Leah his daughter; and these she bore to Jacob: sixteen souls.

vw@Genesis:46:19 @ The sons of Rachel, Jacob’s wife, were Joseph and Benjamin.

vw@Genesis:46:20 @ And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him.

vw@Genesis:46:21 @ The sons of Benjamin were Bela, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim, and Ard.

vw@Genesis:46:24 @ The sons of Naphtali were Jahzeel, Guni, Jezer, and Shillem.

vw@Genesis:46:25 @ These were the sons of Bilhah, whom Laban gave to Rachel his daughter, and she bore these to Jacob: seven souls in all.

vw@Genesis:46:26 @ All the souls who went with Jacob to Egypt, who came forth from his loins, besides Jacob’s sons’ wives, were sixty-six souls in all.

vw@Genesis:46:27 @ And the sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt were two souls. All the souls of the house of Jacob who went into Egypt were seventy.

vw@Genesis:46:28 @ And he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to give directions before him to Goshen. And they came into the land of Goshen.

vw@Genesis:46:29 @ And Joseph prepared his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel; and he presented himself to him, and fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while.

vw@Genesis:46:30 @ And Israel said to Joseph, Now let me die, since I have seen your face, because you are still alive.

vw@Genesis:46:31 @ And Joseph said to his brothers and to his father’s house, I will go up and report to Pharaoh, and say to him, My brothers and those of my fathers house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.

vw@Genesis:46:32 @ And the men tend cattle, for they are men of livestock; and they have brought their flocks, their herds, and all that they have.

vw@Genesis:46:33 @ So it shall be, when Pharaoh summons you and says, What is your occupation?

vw@Genesis:46:34 @ that you shall say, Your servants have been men of livestock from our youth even until now, both we and also our fathers; that you may dwell in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is an abomination to the Egyptians.

vw@Genesis:47:1 @ And Joseph came and reported to Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers, their flocks and their herds and all that they possess, have come from the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen.

vw@Genesis:47:2 @ And he took five men from among his brothers and presented them before Pharaoh.

vw@Genesis:47:3 @ And Pharaoh said to his brothers, What is your occupation? And they said to Pharaoh, Your servants are shepherds, both we and also our fathers.

vw@Genesis:47:4 @ And they said to Pharaoh, We have come to sojourn in the land, because your servants have no pasture for their flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.

vw@Genesis:47:5 @ And Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, Your father and your brothers have come to you.

vw@Genesis:47:6 @ The land of Egypt is before you. Have your father and brothers dwell in the best of the land; let them dwell in the land of Goshen. And if you know any men with ability among them, make them chief herdsmen over my livestock.

vw@Genesis:47:7 @ And Joseph brought in his father Jacob and presented him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.

vw@Genesis:47:8 @ And Pharaoh said to Jacob, How many are the days of the years of your life?

vw@Genesis:47:9 @ And Jacob said to Pharaoh, The days of the years of my pilgrimage are one hundred and thirty years; few and evil have been the days of the years of my life, and they have not attained to the days of the years of the life of my fathers in the days of their pilgrimage.

vw@Genesis:47:10 @ And Jacob blessed Pharaoh, and went out from before Pharaoh.

vw@Genesis:47:11 @ And Joseph situated his father and his brothers, and gave them property in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had commanded.

vw@Genesis:47:12 @ And Joseph sustained his father, his brothers, and all his father’s house with food, according to the mouths of the children.

vw@Genesis:47:13 @ And there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine.

vw@Genesis:47:14 @ And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh’s house.

vw@Genesis:47:15 @ And when the money failed in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For the money has failed.

vw@Genesis:47:16 @ And Joseph said, Give your livestock, and I will give you bread for your livestock, if the money has failed.

vw@Genesis:47:17 @ So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, the flocks, the cattle of the herds, and for the donkeys. Thus he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock that year.

vw@Genesis:47:18 @ When that year had ended, they came to him the next year and said to him, We will not hide from my lord that our money is gone; my lord also has our cattle and livestock. Nothing remains before my lord but our bodies and our lands.

vw@Genesis:47:19 @ Why should we die before your eyes, both we and our land? Buy us and our land for bread, and we and our land will be servants of Pharaoh; give us seed, that we may live and not die, that the land not be desolate.

vw@Genesis:47:20 @ And Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh; for every man of the Egyptians sold his field, because the famine was severe upon them. So the land became Pharaoh’s.

vw@Genesis:47:21 @ And as for the people, he moved them into the cities, from one end of the borders of Egypt to the other end.

vw@Genesis:47:22 @ Only the land of the priests he did not buy; for the priests had portions prescribed to them by Pharaoh, and they ate their portions which Pharaoh gave them; therefore they did not sell their lands.

vw@Genesis:47:23 @ Then Joseph said to the people, Behold, I have bought you and your land this day for Pharaoh. Behold, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.

vw@Genesis:47:24 @ And it shall come to pass in the harvest that you shall give one-fifth to Pharaoh; and four-fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and for your food, for those of your houses and as food for your little ones.

vw@Genesis:47:25 @ And they said, You have saved our lives; let us find favor in the eyes of my lord, and we will be Pharaoh’s servants.

vw@Genesis:47:26 @ And Joseph made it a law over the land of Egypt to this day, that Pharaoh should have one-fifth, except for the land of the priests only, which did not become Pharaoh’s.

vw@Genesis:47:27 @ And Israel remained in the land of Egypt, in the land of Goshen; and they settled on property they owned there and grew and multiplied exceedingly.

vw@Genesis:47:28 @ And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the days of Jacob’s life was one hundred and forty-seven years.

vw@Genesis:47:29 @ And the time drew near for Israel to die. And he called his son Joseph and said to him, Now if I have found favor in your eyes, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please do not bury me in Egypt,

vw@Genesis:47:30 @ but let me lie with my fathers. You shall carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place. And he said, I will do as you have said.

vw@Genesis:47:31 @ And he said, Swear to me. And he swore to him. And Israel prostrated himself on the head of the bed.

vw@Genesis:48:1 @ Now it came to pass after these things that Joseph was told, Behold, your father is sick; and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.

vw@Genesis:48:2 @ And Jacob was told, they said, Behold, your son Joseph is coming to you. And Israel strengthened himself and sat up on the bed.

vw@Genesis:48:3 @ And Jacob said to Joseph: God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me,

vw@Genesis:48:4 @ and said to me, Behold, I will make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will make of you a multitude of people, and give this land to your seed after you as an enduring possession.

vw@Genesis:48:5 @ And now your two sons, Ephraim and Manasseh, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; as Reuben and Simeon, they shall be mine.

vw@Genesis:48:6 @ Your offspring whom you beget after them shall be yours; they shall be called according to the name of their brothers in their inheritance.

vw@Genesis:48:7 @ But as for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died beside me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (which is Bethlehem).

vw@Genesis:48:8 @ And Israel saw Joseph’s sons, and said, Who are these?

vw@Genesis:48:9 @ And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me in this place. And he said, Please bring them to me, and I will bless them.

vw@Genesis:48:10 @ Now the eyes of Israel had become dull with age, so that he could not see. And he brought them near him, and he kissed them and embraced them.

vw@Genesis:48:11 @ And Israel said to Joseph, I had not thought to see your face; but lo, God has also shown me your seed.

vw@Genesis:48:12 @ And Joseph brought them from beside his knees, and he prostrated with his face to the earth.

vw@Genesis:48:13 @ And Joseph took them both, Ephraim with his right hand toward Israel’s left hand, and Manasseh with his left hand toward Israel’s right hand, and brought them to him.

vw@Genesis:48:14 @ And Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on Ephraim’s head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh’s head, crossing his hands; for Manasseh was the firstborn.

vw@Genesis:48:15 @ And he blessed Joseph, and said: God, before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac walked, the God who has fed me since I was born to this day,

vw@Genesis:48:16 @ the Angel who redeemed me from all evil, bless the lads; let my name be called upon them, and the name of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; and let them grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth.

vw@Genesis:48:17 @ Now when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it caused his eye to quiver; so he took hold of his father’s hand to remove it from Ephraim’s head onto Manasseh’s head.

vw@Genesis:48:18 @ And Joseph said to his father, Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.

vw@Genesis:48:19 @ But his father refused and said, I know, my son, I know. He also shall become a people, and he also shall be great; but truly his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations.

vw@Genesis:48:20 @ And he blessed them that day, saying, In you Israel shall bless, saying, May God make you as Ephraim and as Manasseh! And thus he set Ephraim before Manasseh.

vw@Genesis:48:21 @ Then Israel said to Joseph, Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you and bring you back to the land of your fathers.

vw@Genesis:48:22 @ Moreover I have extended your shoulder above your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and my bow.

vw@Genesis:49:1 @ And Jacob summoned his sons and said, Gather around, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days:

vw@Genesis:49:2 @ Gather around and hear, you sons of Jacob, and listen to Israel your father.

vw@Genesis:49:3 @ Reuben, you are my firstborn, my might and the beginning of my strength, the excellency of dignity and the excellency of power.

vw@Genesis:49:4 @ Like bubbling water, you shall not excel, because you went up to your father’s bed; then you defiled it; he went up to my couch.

vw@Genesis:49:5 @ Simeon and Levi are brothers; implements of violence are their weapons.

vw@Genesis:49:6 @ Let not my soul enter their council; let not my honor be united to their assembly; for in their anger they slew a man, and in their self-will they have hamstrung an ox.

vw@Genesis:49:7 @ Cursed is their anger, for it is fierce; and their wrath, for it is cruel! I will divide them in Jacob and scatter them in Israel.

vw@Genesis:49:8 @ Judah, you are he whom your brothers shall praise; your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies; your father’s children shall bow down before you.

vw@Genesis:49:9 @ Judah is a lion’s whelp; from the prey, my son, you have gone up. He bows down, he crouches like a lion; and as a lioness, who shall rouse him?

vw@Genesis:49:10 @ The scepter shall not depart from Judah, nor a Lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh comes; and to Him shall be the cleansing of the peoples.

vw@Genesis:49:11 @ Binding His donkey to the vine, and His donkey’s colt to the choice vine, He has washed His garments in wine, and His clothes in the blood of grapes;

vw@Genesis:49:12 @ His eyes flashing with wine, and His teeth white with milk.

vw@Genesis:49:13 @ Zebulun shall dwell by the seashore; he shall become a haven for ships, bordering Sidon.

vw@Genesis:49:14 @ Issachar is a strong donkey, lying down between two burdens.

vw@Genesis:49:15 @ He saw that the resting place was good, and that the land was pleasant. He bowed his shoulder to bear a burden, and became a servant to forced labor.

vw@Genesis:49:16 @ Dan shall judge his people as one of the tribes of Israel.

vw@Genesis:49:17 @ Dan shall be a serpent by the way, an adder by the path, that bites the horse’s heels so that its rider shall fall backward.

vw@Genesis:49:18 @ I have waited for your salvation, O Jehovah.

vw@Genesis:49:19 @ Gad, a troop shall attack him, but he shall attack their heel.

vw@Genesis:49:20 @ Bread from Asher shall be rich, and he shall produce kings’ delicacies.

vw@Genesis:49:21 @ Naphtali is a deer let loose; he utters beautiful words.

vw@Genesis:49:22 @ Joseph is a fruitful bough, a fruitful bough by a spring; his branches have run over the wall.

vw@Genesis:49:23 @ The archers have bitterly grieved him, shot at him and carried animosity against him.

vw@Genesis:49:24 @ But his bow remained steadfast, and the arms of his hands were made nimble by the hand of the Mighty One of Jacob; from the Shepherd, the Stone of Israel,

vw@Genesis:49:25 @ by the Mighty God of your father who will help you, and by the Almighty who will bless you with blessings of the heavens above, blessings of the deep that lies beneath, blessings of the breasts and of the womb.

vw@Genesis:49:26 @ The blessings of your father have prevailed above the blessings of my ancestors, to the bounds of the enduring hills. They shall be upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the head of him who was separate from his brothers.

vw@Genesis:49:27 @ Benjamin is a ravenous wolf; in the morning he shall devour the prey, and at night he shall distribute the spoils.

vw@Genesis:49:28 @ All these are the twelve tribes of Israel, and this is what their father spoke to them. And he blessed them; he blessed each one according to his own blessing.

vw@Genesis:49:29 @ And he charged them and said to them: I am about to be gathered to my people. Bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,

vw@Genesis:49:30 @ in the cave that is in the field of Machpelah, which is before Mamre in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field of Ephron the Hittite as a possession for a burial place.

vw@Genesis:49:31 @ There they buried Abraham and Sarah his wife, there they buried Isaac and Rebekah his wife, and there I buried Leah.

vw@Genesis:49:32 @ The field and the cave that is there were purchased from the sons of Heth.

vw@Genesis:49:33 @ And when Jacob had finished commanding his sons, he drew his feet up into the bed and expired, and was gathered to his people.

vw@Genesis:50:1 @ And Joseph fell on his father’s face, and wept over him, and kissed him.

vw@Genesis:50:2 @ And Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.

vw@Genesis:50:3 @ Forty days were fulfilled for him, for such are the days fulfilled for those who are embalmed; and the Egyptians wept for him seventy days.

vw@Genesis:50:4 @ And when the days of his weeping were past, Joseph spoke to the house of Pharaoh, saying, If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the ears of Pharaoh, saying,

vw@Genesis:50:5 @ My father made me swear, saying, Behold, I am dying; in my grave which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there you shall bury me. Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father, and return.

vw@Genesis:50:6 @ And Pharaoh said, Go up and bury your father, as he made you swear.

vw@Genesis:50:7 @ And Joseph went up to bury his father; and with him went up all the servants of Pharaoh, the elders of his house, and all the elders of the land of Egypt,

vw@Genesis:50:8 @ as well as all the house of Joseph, his brothers, and his father’s house. Only their little ones, their flocks, and their herds they left in the land of Goshen.

vw@Genesis:50:9 @ And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen, and it was a very great company.

vw@Genesis:50:10 @ And they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is on the other side of Jordan, and they mourned there with great and heavy lamentation. He observed seven days of mourning for his father.

vw@Genesis:50:11 @ And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, This is a great mourning of the Egyptians. Therefore its name was called Abel Mizraim, which is on the other side of Jordan.

vw@Genesis:50:12 @ So his sons did for him just as he had commanded them.

vw@Genesis:50:13 @ For his sons carried him to the land of Canaan, and buried him in the cave of the field of Machpelah, before Mamre, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite as property for a burial place.

vw@Genesis:50:14 @ And after he had buried his father, Joseph returned to Egypt, he and his brothers and all who went up with him to bury his father.

vw@Genesis:50:15 @ And when Joseph’s brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, Perhaps Joseph will hold a grudge against us, and return and repay us for all the evil which we did unto him.

vw@Genesis:50:16 @ So they sent a messenger to Joseph, saying, Before your father died he commanded, saying,

vw@Genesis:50:17 @ Thus you shall say to Joseph: I beg you, please forgive the transgression of your brothers and their sin; for they did evil to you. Now, please, forgive the transgression of the servants of the God of your father. And Joseph wept when they spoke to him.

vw@Genesis:50:18 @ And his brothers also went and prostrated before his face, and they said, Behold, we are your slaves.

vw@Genesis:50:19 @ And Joseph said to them, Do not be afraid, for am I in the place of God?

vw@Genesis:50:20 @ As for you, you had devised evil against me; but God had planned it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.

vw@Genesis:50:21 @ Now therefore, do not be afraid; I will provide for you and your little ones. And he comforted them and spoke to their hearts.

vw@Genesis:50:22 @ And Joseph dwelt in Egypt, he and his father’s house. And Joseph lived one hundred and ten years.

vw@Genesis:50:23 @ And Joseph saw Ephraim’s children to the third generation. Also the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, were born upon Joseph’s knees.

vw@Genesis:50:24 @ And Joseph said to his brethren, I am dying; but God will attend to visit you, and bring you up out of this land to the land of which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.

vw@Genesis:50:25 @ And Joseph made the sons of Israel swear, saying, God will attend to visit you, and you shall carry up my bones from here.

vw@Genesis:50:26 @ So Joseph died, being one hundred and ten years old; and they embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in Egypt.

vw@Exodus:1:1 @ Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt; each man and his house came with Jacob:

vw@Exodus:1:3 @ Issachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin;

vw@Exodus:1:6 @ And Joseph died, all his brothers, and all that generation.

vw@Exodus:1:7 @ And the children of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly, multiplied and grew exceedingly numerous; and the land was filled with them.

vw@Exodus:1:9 @ And he said to his people, Behold, the people of the children of Israel are more numerous and vast than we.

vw@Exodus:1:10 @ Come, let us deal wisely with them, lest they multiply, and it happen in the event of war, that they also join our enemies and fight against us, and thus go up out of the land.

vw@Exodus:1:12 @ But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were in dread of the children of Israel.

vw@Exodus:1:13 @ So the Egyptians made the children of Israel work with harshness.

vw@Exodus:1:16 @ and he said: When you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women, and see them on the birthstools, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.

vw@Exodus:1:18 @ And the king of Egypt summoned the midwives and said to them, Why have you done this thing, and saved the male children alive?

vw@Exodus:1:22 @ And Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, Every son who is born you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.

vw@Exodus:2:4 @ And his sister stood at a distance, to know what would be done to him.

vw@Exodus:2:6 @ And when she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the boy wept. And she had compassion on him, and said, This is one of the Hebrews’ children.

vw@Exodus:2:7 @ Then his sister said to Pharaoh’s daughter, Shall I go and call a wet nurse for you from the Hebrew women, that she may nurse the child for you?

vw@Exodus:2:9 @ And Pharaoh’s daughter said to her, Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages. So the woman took the child and nursed him.

vw@Exodus:2:10 @ And the child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh’s daughter, and he became her son. And she called his name Moses, saying, Because I drew him out of the water.

vw@Exodus:2:11 @ And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out to his brethren and looked upon their burdens. And he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren.

vw@Exodus:2:12 @ And he looked this way and that, and when he saw no one, he killed the Egyptian and hid him in the sand.

vw@Exodus:2:14 @ And he said, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? Do you intend to kill me as you killed the Egyptian? And Moses feared and said, Surely this thing is known!

vw@Exodus:2:18 @ And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that you have made haste today?

vw@Exodus:2:20 @ And he said to his daughters, And where is he? Why is it that you have left the man? Invite him, that he may eat bread.

vw@Exodus:2:21 @ And Moses agreed to live with the man, and he gave Zipporah his daughter to Moses.

vw@Exodus:2:22 @ And she bore him a son, and he called his name Gershom; for he said, I have become a sojourner in a foreign land.

vw@Exodus:2:23 @ And it came to pass after many days that the king of Egypt died. And the children of Israel groaned because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry came up to God because of the bondage.

vw@Exodus:2:24 @ And God heard their groaning, and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob.

vw@Exodus:2:25 @ And God gave attention to the children of Israel, and God acknowledged them.

vw@Exodus:3:1 @ Now Moses was with the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian. And he led the flock to the back of the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

vw@Exodus:3:3 @ And Moses thought, I will now turn aside and see this great sight, why the bush is not burned up.

vw@Exodus:3:5 @ And He said, Do not approach here. Take your sandals off your feet, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.

vw@Exodus:3:6 @ Moreover He said, I am the God of your fathers; the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look upon God.

vw@Exodus:3:9 @ Now therefore, behold, the cry of the children of Israel has come unto Me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them.

vw@Exodus:3:10 @ Come now, therefore, and I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring My people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.

vw@Exodus:3:11 @ And Moses said to God, Who am I that I should go to Pharaoh, and that I should bring the children of Israel out of Egypt?

vw@Exodus:3:12 @ And He said, I will certainly be with you. And this shall be a sign to you that I have sent you: When you have brought the people out of Egypt, you shall serve God on this mountain.

vw@Exodus:3:13 @ And Moses said to God, Behold, when I come to the sons of Israel and say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you, and they say to me, What is His name? what shall I say to them?

vw@Exodus:3:14 @ And God said to Moses, I AM THAT I AM. And He said, Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.

vw@Exodus:3:15 @ Moreover God said to Moses, Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel: Jehovah the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This is My eternal name, and this is My memorial from generation to generation.

vw@Exodus:3:16 @ Go and gather the elders of Israel together, and say to them, Jehovah the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, appeared to me, saying, I have surely visited you and seen what is being done to you in Egypt;

vw@Exodus:3:18 @ And they will heed your voice; and you shall come, you and the elders of Israel, to the king of Egypt; and you shall say to him, Jehovah the God of the Hebrews has met with us; and now, please, let us go three days journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice unto Jehovah our God.

vw@Exodus:3:21 @ And I will give this people favor in the eyes of the Egyptians; and it shall come to pass, when you go, that you shall not leave empty.

vw@Exodus:4:1 @ And Moses answered and said, But suppose they will not believe, nor listen to my voice; suppose they say, Jehovah has not appeared to you.

vw@Exodus:4:2 @ And Jehovah said to him, What is that in your hand? He said, A staff.

vw@Exodus:4:4 @ And Jehovah said to Moses, Stretch out your hand and take it by the tail; and he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand;

vw@Exodus:4:5 @ that they may believe that Jehovah the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has appeared to you.

vw@Exodus:4:6 @ Furthermore Jehovah said to him, Now put your hand into your bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom, and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous, like snow.

vw@Exodus:4:7 @ And He said, Put your hand back into your bosom. So he put his hand back into his bosom, and drew it out of his bosom, and behold, it was restored like his other flesh.

vw@Exodus:4:9 @ And it shall come to pass when they do not believe even these two signs, nor listen to your voice, that you shall take water from the river and pour it on the dry land. And the water which you take from the river shall become blood on the dry land.

vw@Exodus:4:11 @ And Jehovah said to him, Who has made man’s mouth? Or who makes the mute, the deaf, the seeing, or the blind? Is it not I, Jehovah?

vw@Exodus:4:14 @ And the anger of Jehovah burned against Moses, and He said: Is not Aaron the Levite your brother? I know that he can form words to speak. And behold, he is also coming out to meet you; and when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.

vw@Exodus:4:15 @ And you shall speak to him and put the words in his mouth. And I will be with your mouth and with his mouth, and I will teach you what you shall do.

vw@Exodus:4:17 @ And you shall take this staff in your hand, with which you shall do the signs.

vw@Exodus:4:18 @ So Moses went and returned to Jethro his father-in-law, and said to him, Please let me go and return to my brethren who are in Egypt, and see whether they are still alive. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

vw@Exodus:4:20 @ And Moses took his wife and his sons and mounted them on a donkey, and he returned to the land of Egypt. And Moses took the staff of God in his hand.

vw@Exodus:4:21 @ And Jehovah said to Moses, When you go back to Egypt, see that you do all those wonders before Pharaoh which I have put in your hand. And I will harden his heart, so that he will not let the people go.

vw@Exodus:4:22 @ And you shall say to Pharaoh, Thus says Jehovah: Israel is My son, My firstborn.

vw@Exodus:4:25 @ And Zipporah took a flint and cut off the foreskin of her son and cast it at his feet, and said, Surely you are a husband of blood to me!

vw@Exodus:4:26 @ So He let him go. Then she said, You are a husband of blood; because of the circumcision.

vw@Exodus:4:27 @ And Jehovah said to Aaron, Go into the wilderness to meet Moses. So he went and met him on the mountain of God, and kissed him.

vw@Exodus:4:29 @ And Moses and Aaron went and gathered together all the elders of the sons of Israel.

vw@Exodus:4:31 @ And the people believed. And when they heard that Jehovah had visited the children of Israel and that He had given attention to their affliction, they bowed down and prostrated themselves.

vw@Exodus:5:1 @ Afterward Moses and Aaron went in and said to Pharaoh, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: Let My people go, that they may hold a feast unto Me in the wilderness.

vw@Exodus:5:2 @ And Pharaoh said, Who is Jehovah, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I do not know Jehovah; neither will I let Israel go.

vw@Exodus:5:8 @ And you shall lay on them the tally of bricks which they made before. You shall not diminish it. For they are idle; therefore they cry out, saying, Let us go and sacrifice to our God.

vw@Exodus:5:11 @ Go, get yourselves straw where you can find it; yet none of your labor shall be diminished.

vw@Exodus:5:14 @ And the officers of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh’s taskmasters had set over them, were beaten and were asked, Why have you not completed the prescribed amount to make brick, both yesterday and today, as before?

vw@Exodus:5:15 @ Then the officers of the children of Israel came and cried out to Pharaoh, saying, Why are you dealing thus with your servants?

vw@Exodus:5:16 @ There is no straw given to your slaves, and they say to us, Make brick! And behold, your servants are beaten, but the fault is in your own people.

vw@Exodus:5:19 @ And the officers of the children of Israel saw that they were in a bad way after it was said, You shall not diminish any bricks from the matter day by day.

vw@Exodus:5:21 @ And they said to them, Jehovah look upon you and judge, because you have made us abhorrent in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sword in their hand to kill us.

vw@Exodus:5:22 @ And Moses returned to Jehovah and said, Lord, why have You brought hurt upon this people? Why then have You sent me?

vw@Exodus:5:23 @ For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done evil to this people; neither have You rescued to deliver Your people.

vw@Exodus:6:1 @ Then Jehovah said to Moses, Now you shall see what I will do to Pharaoh. For with a strong hand he will let them go, and with a strong hand he will drive them out of his land.

vw@Exodus:6:3 @ I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name Jehovah I have not been known to them.

vw@Exodus:6:4 @ I have also established My covenant with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their pilgrimage, in which they were sojourners.

vw@Exodus:6:5 @ And I have also heard the groaning of the sons of Israel whom the Egyptians keep in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant.

vw@Exodus:6:6 @ Therefore say to the sons of Israel: I am Jehovah; I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, I will rescue you from their bondage, and I will redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.

vw@Exodus:6:8 @ And I will bring you into the land which I raised My hand and swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and I will give it to you for a possession. I am Jehovah.

vw@Exodus:6:9 @ And Moses spoke thus to the sons of Israel; but they did not listen to Moses, because of anguish of spirit and cruel bondage.

vw@Exodus:6:11 @ Go, speak to Pharaoh king of Egypt, that he let the children of Israel go out of his land.

vw@Exodus:6:12 @ And Moses spoke before Jehovah, saying, The sons of Israel have not listened to me. How then shall Pharaoh heed me, for I am of uncircumcised lips?

vw@Exodus:6:13 @ And Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron, and gave them a command for the sons of Israel, and for Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

vw@Exodus:6:14 @ These were the heads of their fathers’ houses: The sons of Reuben, the firstborn of Israel, were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi. These were the families of Reuben.

vw@Exodus:6:20 @ Now Amram took for himself Jochebed, his father’s sister, as wife; and she bore him Aaron and Moses. And the years of the life of Amram were one hundred and thirty-seven.

vw@Exodus:6:22 @ And the sons of Uzziel were Mishael, Elzaphan, and Zithri.

vw@Exodus:6:23 @ Aaron took to himself Elisheba, daughter of Amminadab, sister of Nahshon, as wife; and she bore him Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

vw@Exodus:6:26 @ These were the same Aaron and Moses to whom Jehovah said, Bring out the children of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their hosts.

vw@Exodus:6:27 @ These were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt, to bring out the children of Israel from Egypt. These were the same Moses and Aaron.

vw@Exodus:6:30 @ But Moses said before Jehovah, Behold, I am of uncircumcised lips, and how shall Pharaoh heed me?

vw@Exodus:7:2 @ You shall speak all that I command you. And Aaron your brother shall speak to Pharaoh to send the children of Israel out of his land.

vw@Exodus:7:4 @ But Pharaoh will not heed you, so that I may lay My hand upon Egypt and bring My hosts, My people, the children of Israel, out of the land of Egypt with great judgments.

vw@Exodus:7:5 @ And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah when I stretch forth My hand upon Egypt and bring out the children of Israel from among them.

vw@Exodus:7:10 @ And Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and they did so, just as Jehovah commanded. And Aaron cast down his staff before Pharaoh and before his servants, and it became a serpent.

vw@Exodus:7:11 @ And Pharaoh also called the wise men and the sorcerers. So the magicians of Egypt, they also did so with their enchantments.

vw@Exodus:7:12 @ For every man threw down his staff, and they became serpents. But Aaron’s staff swallowed up their staffs.

vw@Exodus:7:14 @ And Jehovah said to Moses: Pharaoh’s heart is hard; he refuses to let the people go.

vw@Exodus:7:17 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah: By this you shall know that I am Jehovah. Behold, I will strike the waters in the river with the staff that is in my hand, and they shall be turned to blood.

vw@Exodus:7:18 @ And the fish that are in the river shall die, the river shall stink, and the Egyptians shall weary themselves to drink the water of the river.

vw@Exodus:7:20 @ And Moses and Aaron did so, as Jehovah commanded. And he lifted up the staff and struck the waters that were in the river, in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of his servants. And all the waters in the river were turned to blood.

vw@Exodus:7:21 @ And the fish in the river died, the river stunk, and the Egyptians could not drink the water of the river. So there was blood throughout all the land of Egypt.

vw@Exodus:7:23 @ And Pharaoh turned and went into his house. Neither did he lay any of this to heart.

vw@Exodus:8:6 @ And Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.

vw@Exodus:8:10 @ And he said, Tomorrow. And he said, Let it be according to your word, that you may come to understand that there is no one like Jehovah our God.

vw@Exodus:8:15 @ But when Pharaoh saw that there was relief, his heart was hardened and he did not heed them; as Jehovah had said.

vw@Exodus:8:17 @ And they did so. For Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff and struck the dust of the earth, and it became lice upon man and beast. All the dust of the land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt.

vw@Exodus:8:19 @ Then the magicians said to Pharaoh, This is the finger of God. But Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them; as Jehovah had said.

vw@Exodus:8:20 @ And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh as he comes out to the water, and say to him, Thus says Jehovah: Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

vw@Exodus:8:23 @ I have appointed a ransom for My people from your people. This sign shall be tomorrow.

vw@Exodus:8:24 @ And Jehovah did so. Thick swarms of flies came into the house of Pharaoh, into his servants’ houses, and into all the land of Egypt. The land was spoiled because of the swarms of flies.

vw@Exodus:8:26 @ And Moses said, It is not right to do so, for we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians unto Jehovah our God. If we sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians before their eyes, then will they not stone us?

vw@Exodus:8:29 @ And Moses said, Indeed I am going out from you, and I will entreat Jehovah, that the swarms of flies may depart tomorrow from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. But let Pharaoh not continue dealing deceitfully in not letting the people go to sacrifice unto Jehovah.

vw@Exodus:8:31 @ And Jehovah did according to the word of Moses; He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. Not one remained.

vw@Exodus:8:32 @ And Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also; neither would he let the people go.

vw@Exodus:9:4 @ And Jehovah will make a distinction between the livestock of Israel and the livestock of Egypt, and nothing shall die of all that belongs to the children of Israel.

vw@Exodus:9:5 @ And Jehovah appointed a set time, saying, Tomorrow Jehovah will do this thing in the land.

vw@Exodus:9:6 @ And Jehovah did this thing on the next day, and all the livestock of Egypt died; but of the livestock of the children of Israel, not one died.

vw@Exodus:9:7 @ And Pharaoh sent, and behold, not even one of the livestock of the Israelites was dead. And Pharaoh’s heart was hardened, and he did not let the people go.

vw@Exodus:9:13 @ And Jehovah said to Moses, Rise early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh, and say to him, Thus says Jehovah the God of the Hebrews: Let My people go, that they may serve Me,

vw@Exodus:9:14 @ for at this time I will send all My plagues upon your heart, and upon your servants and upon your people, that you may come to understand that there is no one like Me in all the earth.

vw@Exodus:9:16 @ And indeed for this purpose I have ordained you, to show My power in you, and to declare My name in all the earth.

vw@Exodus:9:18 @ Behold, tomorrow about this time I will cause very heavy hail to rain down, such as has not been in Egypt since its founding until now.

vw@Exodus:9:19 @ Therefore send now and gather your livestock and all that you have in the field, for the hail shall come down upon every man and every animal which is found in the field and is not brought into shelter; and they shall die.

vw@Exodus:9:23 @ And Moses stretched forth his staff toward the heavens; and Jehovah sent thunder and hail, and fire went to the ground. And Jehovah rained hail upon the land of Egypt.

vw@Exodus:9:26 @ Only in the land of Goshen, where the children of Israel were, there was no hail.

vw@Exodus:9:27 @ And Pharaoh sent and summoned Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have sinned this time. Jehovah is righteous, and I and my people are wicked.

vw@Exodus:9:28 @ Entreat Jehovah, that there be no more Divine thundering and hail, for it is enough. I will let you go, and you shall stay no longer.

vw@Exodus:9:29 @ And Moses said to him, As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to Jehovah. The thunder shall cease, and there shall be no more hail; that you may know that the earth is Jehovah’s.

vw@Exodus:9:33 @ And Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and spread out his hands to Jehovah. And the thunder and the hail ceased, and the rain was not poured upon the earth.

vw@Exodus:9:34 @ And when Pharaoh saw that the rain, the hail, and the thunder had ceased, he sinned again, and hardened his heart; he and his servants.

vw@Exodus:9:35 @ And the heart of Pharaoh was hardened; neither would he let the children of Israel go, as Jehovah had spoken by the hand of Moses.

vw@Exodus:10:1 @ And Jehovah said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh; for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants, in order to perform these signs of Mine among them,

vw@Exodus:10:5 @ And they shall cover the face of the earth, so that no one will be able to see the land; and they shall eat the rest of what is left, which remains to you from the hail, and they shall eat every tree which grows up for you out of the field.

vw@Exodus:10:6 @ And they shall fill your houses, the houses of all your servants, and the houses of all the Egyptians; which neither your fathers nor your fathers’ fathers have seen, since the day that they were on the earth to this day. And he turned and went out from Pharaoh.

vw@Exodus:10:7 @ And Pharaoh’s servants said to him, How long shall this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve Jehovah their God. Do you not yet realize that Egypt has vanished?

vw@Exodus:10:9 @ And Moses said, We will go with our young and our old; with our sons and our daughters, with our flocks and our herds we will go, for it is a feast unto Jehovah.

vw@Exodus:10:10 @ And he said to them, Jehovah be with you if ever I let you and your little ones go! Consider, for evil is before you!

vw@Exodus:10:11 @ Not so! Go now, you who are men, and serve Jehovah, for that is what you desired. And they were driven out from Pharaoh’s presence.

vw@Exodus:10:13 @ And Moses stretched out his staff over the land of Egypt, and Jehovah brought an east wind upon the land all that day and all that night. When it was morning, the east wind brought the locusts.

vw@Exodus:10:17 @ Now therefore, please forgive my sin only this once, and entreat Jehovah your God, that He may take away from me this death only.

vw@Exodus:10:20 @ And Jehovah hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go.

vw@Exodus:10:22 @ And Moses stretched out his hand toward the heavens, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.

vw@Exodus:10:23 @ They did not see one another; nor did anyone rise from his place for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.

vw@Exodus:11:2 @ Speak now in the ears of the people, and let every man ask from his neighbor and every woman from her neighbor, articles of silver and articles of gold.

vw@Exodus:11:5 @ and every firstborn in the land of Egypt shall die, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sits on his throne, even to the firstborn of the female servant who is behind the mill, and every firstborn of the animals.

vw@Exodus:11:7 @ But against the children of Israel shall not a single dog move its tongue, against man or beast, that you may know that Jehovah makes a separation between Egypt and Israel.

vw@Exodus:11:10 @ And Moses and Aaron did all these signs before Pharaoh; and Jehovah hardened Pharaoh’s heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

vw@Exodus:12:2 @ This month shall be to you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year to you.

vw@Exodus:12:3 @ Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying: On the tenth day of this month every man shall take for himself a lamb, according to the house of his father, a lamb for a house.

vw@Exodus:12:4 @ And if the house is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of souls; according to each man’s eating you shall reckon it for the lamb.

vw@Exodus:12:6 @ And you shall keep it until the fourteenth day of the same month. Then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it within the evening.

vw@Exodus:12:11 @ And thus you shall eat it: with your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is Passover unto Jehovah.

vw@Exodus:12:12 @ For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will strike every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment. I am Jehovah.

vw@Exodus:12:14 @ And this day shall be to you a memorial; and you shall keep it as a feast unto Jehovah throughout your generations. You shall keep it as a feast by a perpetual ordinance.

vw@Exodus:12:15 @ Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses. For whoever eats anything leavened from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.

vw@Exodus:12:17 @ And you shall observe Unleavened Bread, for on this same day I have brought your armies out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as a perpetual ordinance.

vw@Exodus:12:19 @ For seven days no leaven shall be found in your houses, for whoever eats what is leavened, that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a sojourner or a native of the land.

vw@Exodus:12:21 @ Then Moses summoned all the elders of Israel and said to them, Draw out and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the Passover.

vw@Exodus:12:22 @ And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and apply the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning.

vw@Exodus:12:24 @ And you shall observe this matter as an ordinance for you and your sons perpetually.

vw@Exodus:12:25 @ And it shall come to pass when you come to the land which Jehovah shall give you, just as He promised, that you shall keep this service.

vw@Exodus:12:26 @ And it shall be, when your children say to you, What do you mean by this service?

vw@Exodus:12:27 @ that you shall say, It is the Passover sacrifice of Jehovah, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck Egypt and delivered our houses. So the people bowed down and prostrated themselves.

vw@Exodus:12:28 @ And the sons of Israel departed and did as Jehovah had commanded Moses and Aaron; so they did.

vw@Exodus:12:29 @ And it came to pass at midnight that Jehovah struck every firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the prison house, and every firstborn of livestock.

vw@Exodus:12:30 @ And Pharaoh arose in the night, he, all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great outcry in Egypt, for there was not a house where there was not one who died.

vw@Exodus:12:31 @ And he summoned Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Arise, go out from among my people, both you and the children of Israel. And go, serve Jehovah as you have said.

vw@Exodus:12:35 @ And the children of Israel had done according to the word of Moses, and they asked from the Egyptians articles of silver, articles of gold, and clothing.

vw@Exodus:12:37 @ And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides children.

vw@Exodus:12:40 @ Now the time the children of Israel who dwelt in Egypt remained there was four hundred and thirty years.

vw@Exodus:12:42 @ It is a night of observance unto Jehovah for bringing them out of the land of Egypt. This is that night of Jehovah, an observance for all the children of Israel throughout their generations.

vw@Exodus:12:43 @ And Jehovah said to Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the Passover: No son of a foreigner shall eat of it.

vw@Exodus:12:44 @ But every man’s servant who is bought for money, when you have circumcised him, then he may eat of it.

vw@Exodus:12:47 @ All the congregation of Israel shall observe it.

vw@Exodus:12:48 @ And when a sojourner stays with you and wishes to keep the Passover unto Jehovah, let every male of his be circumcised, and then let him draw near to observe it; and he shall be as a native of the land. For no uncircumcised person shall eat it.

vw@Exodus:12:50 @ Thus all the children of Israel did; as Jehovah commanded Moses and Aaron, so they did.

vw@Exodus:12:51 @ And it came to pass on the same day, that Jehovah brought the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt according to their armies.

vw@Exodus:13:2 @ Consecrate unto Me every firstborn, whatever opens the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and beast; it is Mine.

vw@Exodus:13:3 @ And Moses said to the people: Remember this day in which you went out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand Jehovah has brought you out from here. Nothing leavened shall be eaten.

vw@Exodus:13:4 @ On this day you are going out, in the month Abib.

vw@Exodus:13:5 @ And it shall be, when Jehovah brings you into the land of the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Amorites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, which He swore to your fathers to give you, a land flowing with milk and honey, that you shall do this service in this month.

vw@Exodus:13:8 @ And you shall make known to your son in that day, saying, This is because of what Jehovah did for me when I came up out of Egypt.

vw@Exodus:13:10 @ You shall therefore keep this ordinance in its season year after year.

vw@Exodus:13:14 @ And it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, What is this? that you shall say to him, By strength of hand Jehovah brought us out of Egypt, from the house of bondage.

vw@Exodus:13:17 @ And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God thought, Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt.

vw@Exodus:13:18 @ So God led the people around by way of the wilderness of the Red Sea. And the children of Israel went up in battle array out of the land of Egypt.

vw@Exodus:13:19 @ And Moses took the bones of Joseph with him, for he had sworn the sons of Israel to oath saying, God will attend to visit you, and you shall bring up my bones from here with you.

vw@Exodus:14:2 @ Speak to the children of Israel, that they return and camp before Pi Hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, opposite Baal Zephon; you shall camp before it by the sea.

vw@Exodus:14:3 @ For Pharaoh will say of the children of Israel, They are perplexed by the land; the wilderness has closed them in.

vw@Exodus:14:4 @ And I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, so that he will pursue them; and I will glorify Myself over Pharaoh and over all his army, that the Egyptians may know that I am Jehovah. And they did so.

vw@Exodus:14:5 @ And it was told the king of Egypt that the people had fled, and the heart of Pharaoh and his servants was turned against the people; and they said, Why have we done this, that we have let Israel go from serving us?

vw@Exodus:14:6 @ And he made ready his chariot and took his people with him.

vw@Exodus:14:8 @ And Jehovah hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued the children of Israel; and the children of Israel went out with a high hand.

vw@Exodus:14:9 @ And the Egyptians pursued them, all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army, and overtook them camping by the sea beside Pi Hahiroth, before Baal Zephon.

vw@Exodus:14:10 @ And when Pharaoh drew near, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and behold, the Egyptians were pulling up after them. And they were greatly afraid, and the children of Israel cried out unto Jehovah.

vw@Exodus:14:12 @ Was this not the word we spoke to you in Egypt, saying, Let us alone that we may serve the Egyptians? For it would have been better for us to serve the Egyptians than to die in the wilderness.

vw@Exodus:14:13 @ And Moses said to the people, Do not be afraid. Take your stand, and see the salvation of Jehovah, which He will accomplish for you today. For the Egyptians whom you see today, you shall not see again forever.

vw@Exodus:14:15 @ And Jehovah said to Moses, Why do you cry out to Me? Speak to the children of Israel that they set out.

vw@Exodus:14:16 @ And lift up your staff, and stretch out your hand over the sea and divide it. And the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea.

vw@Exodus:14:17 @ And behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall follow them. And I will glorify Myself over Pharaoh and over all his army, his chariots, and his horsemen.

vw@Exodus:14:18 @ And the Egyptians shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have glorified Myself over Pharaoh, his chariots, and his horsemen.

vw@Exodus:14:19 @ And the Angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, moved and went behind them; and the pillar of cloud went from before them and stood behind them.

vw@Exodus:14:20 @ And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel. Thus it was a cloud and darkness to the one, and it gave light by night to the other, so that the one did not come near the other all that night.

vw@Exodus:14:21 @ And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and Jehovah caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea into dry land, and the waters were divided.

vw@Exodus:14:22 @ So the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea on the dry ground, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

vw@Exodus:14:23 @ And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.

vw@Exodus:14:25 @ And He took off their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel, for Jehovah is fighting for them against the Egyptians.

vw@Exodus:14:27 @ And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when it turned to daybreak, the sea returned to normal, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. And Jehovah shook out the Egyptians into the midst of the sea.

vw@Exodus:14:29 @ But the children of Israel had walked upon dry ground in the midst of the sea, and the waters were a wall to them on their right hand and on their left.

vw@Exodus:14:30 @ Thus Jehovah saved Israel that day out of the hand of the Egyptians, and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the seashore.

vw@Exodus:14:31 @ And Israel saw the great hand which Jehovah had dealt against Egypt. And the people feared Jehovah, and believed Jehovah and His servant Moses.

vw@Exodus:32:1 @ Now when the people saw that Moses delayed coming down from the mountain, the people gathered together to Aaron, and said to him, Arise, make us gods that shall go before us; for as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.

vw@Exodus:32:4 @ And he took up the gold from their hand, and he fashioned it with an engraving tool after he had made a molten calf. And they said, This is your god, O Israel, that brought you up out of the land of Egypt!

vw@Exodus:32:5 @ And when Aaron saw it, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made a proclamation and said, Tomorrow is a feast unto Jehovah.

vw@Exodus:32:8 @ They have quickly turned aside from the way which I commanded them. They have made themselves a molten calf, and bowed down to it and sacrificed to it, and said, This is your god, O Israel, that brought you up out of the land of Egypt!

vw@Exodus:32:9 @ And Jehovah said to Moses, I have seen this people, and behold it is a stiff-necked people!

vw@Exodus:32:11 @ And Moses entreated the face of Jehovah his God, and said: Jehovah, why does Your wrath burn against Your people whom You have brought up out of the land of Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?

vw@Exodus:32:12 @ Why should the Egyptians speak, and say, He brought them out to harm them, to kill them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn away from Your burning wrath, and have compassion regarding this evil to Your people.

vw@Exodus:32:13 @ Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants, to whom You swore by Your own self, and said to them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of the heavens; and all this land that I have spoken of I give to your seed, and they shall always possess it.

vw@Exodus:32:14 @ And Jehovah was moved to compassion from the evil which He had spoken to do unto His people.

vw@Exodus:32:15 @ And Moses turned and went down from the mountain, and the two tablets of the Testimony were in his hand. The tablets were written on both sides; on the one side and on the other they were written.

vw@Exodus:32:17 @ And when Joshua heard the sound of the people of their shouting, he said to Moses, It is a sound of war in the camp.

vw@Exodus:32:18 @ And he said: It is not the sound of the shout of victory, nor the sound of the cry of defeat, but the sound of singing I am hearing.

vw@Exodus:32:19 @ And it came to pass, as soon as he came near the camp, and saw the calf and the dancing, that Moses’ anger was kindled, and he cast the tablets out of his hands and broke them at the base of the mountain.

vw@Exodus:32:20 @ And he took the calf which they had made, burned it with fire, and ground it fine, and scattered it on the water and made the children of Israel drink it.

vw@Exodus:32:21 @ And Moses said to Aaron, What did this people do to you that you have brought so great a sin upon them?

vw@Exodus:32:23 @ For they said to me, Make us gods that shall go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.

vw@Exodus:32:24 @ And I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let them break it off. So they gave it to me, and I cast it into the fire, and this calf came out.

vw@Exodus:32:25 @ And when Moses saw that the people were lacking restraint (for Aaron had let them loose, to the derision of their enemies),

vw@Exodus:32:26 @ that Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, Whoever is for Jehovah, come to me. And all the sons of Levi gathered together to him.

vw@Exodus:32:27 @ And he said to them, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: Let every man put his sword on his side, and go and return from gate to gate throughout the camp, and let every man kill his brother, every man his companion, and every man his neighbor.

vw@Exodus:32:29 @ And Moses said, Fulfill your hand today unto Jehovah, that He may bestow upon you a blessing this day, for every man has been against his son and his brother.

vw@Exodus:32:34 @ Now therefore, go, lead the people to the place of which I have spoken to you. Behold, My Angel shall go before you. Nevertheless, in the day when I visit, I will punish them for their sin.

vw@Exodus:33:1 @ And Jehovah said unto Moses, Depart and go up from here, you and the people whom you have brought up out of the land of Egypt, to the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, To your seed I will give it.

vw@Exodus:33:4 @ And when the people heard this evil word, they mourned, and no one put on his ornaments.

vw@Exodus:33:5 @ For Jehovah had said to Moses, Say unto the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people. I should come up into your midst in one moment and consume you. Now therefore, take off your ornaments, that I may know what to do with you.

vw@Exodus:33:6 @ So the children of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments by Mount Horeb.

vw@Exodus:33:8 @ And it came to pass, whenever Moses went out to the tent, that all the people rose, and each man stood at his tent door and watched Moses until he had gone into the tent.

vw@Exodus:33:10 @ And all the people saw the pillar of cloud standing at the door of the tent, and all the people arose and prostrated themselves, each man at the opening of his tent.

vw@Exodus:33:11 @ And Jehovah spoke to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend. And he would return to the camp, and his servant Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, did not depart from the tent.

vw@Exodus:33:12 @ And Moses said unto Jehovah, Consider how You say to me, Bring up this people. But You have not let me know whom You will send with me. Yet You have said, I know you by name, and you have also found favor in My eyes.

vw@Exodus:33:13 @ Now therefore, I pray, if I have found favor in Your eyes, show me now Your way, that I may know You and that I may find favor in Your eyes. And consider that this nation is Your people.

vw@Exodus:33:16 @ For how then will it be known that Your people and I have found favor in Your eyes, except You go with us? So we shall be distinct, Your people and I, from all the people who are upon the face of the earth.

vw@Exodus:33:17 @ And Jehovah said unto Moses, I will also do this thing that you have spoken; for you have found favor in My eyes, and I know you by name.

vw@Exodus:33:21 @ And Jehovah said, Here is a place by Me, and you shall stand on the rock.

vw@Exodus:34:4 @ And he cut two tablets of stone like the first ones. And Moses arose early in the morning and went up into Mount Sinai, as Jehovah had commanded him; and he took in his hand the two tablets of stone.

vw@Exodus:34:10 @ And He said: Behold, I make a covenant. Before all your people I will do extraordinary things such as have not been done in all the earth, nor in any nation; and all the people among whom you are shall see the work of Jehovah. For it is an awesome thing that I will do with you.

vw@Exodus:34:11 @ Observe what I command you this day. Behold, I am driving out before you the Amorite and the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.

vw@Exodus:34:14 @ (for you shall bow down to no other god, for Jehovah, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous Mighty God),

vw@Exodus:34:19 @ Everything that opens the womb is Mine, and every male firstborn among your livestock, whether ox or sheep.

vw@Exodus:34:20 @ But the firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb. And if you will not redeem him, then you shall break his neck. All the firstborn of your sons you shall redeem. And no one shall appear before Me empty.

vw@Exodus:34:23 @ Three times in the year all your males shall appear before the Lord Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@Exodus:34:24 @ For I will dispossess the nations before you and enlarge your borders; neither will any man covet your land when you go up to appear before Jehovah your God three times in the year.

vw@Exodus:34:27 @ And Jehovah said to Moses, Write these words; according to these words at My mouth, I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.

vw@Exodus:34:29 @ And it came to pass, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai (the two tablets of the Testimony being in Moses’ hand when he came down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while He spoke with him.

vw@Exodus:34:30 @ And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.

vw@Exodus:34:32 @ And afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he commanded them with all that Jehovah had spoken with him on Mount Sinai.

vw@Exodus:34:33 @ And when Moses was finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face.

vw@Exodus:34:34 @ But whenever Moses went in before Jehovah to speak with Him, he took the veil off until he came out; and he came out and spoke to the children of Israel whatever he was commanded.

vw@Exodus:34:35 @ And whenever the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone, then Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with Him.

vw@Leviticus:20:5 @ then I will set My face against that man and against his family; and I will cut him off from his people, along with all who prostitute themselves with him to commit adultery with Molech.

vw@Leviticus:20:6 @ And the soul who turns to mediums and fortunetellers, to commit adultery with them, I will set My face against that soul and cut him off from his people.

vw@Leviticus:20:9 @ And each one who curses his father or his mother shall be executed to death. He has cursed his father or his mother. His blood shall be upon him.

vw@Leviticus:20:10 @ The man who commits adultery with another man’s wife, he who commits adultery with his neighbor’s wife, the adulterer and the adulteress, shall be executed to death.

vw@Leviticus:20:11 @ The man who lies with his father’s wife has uncovered his father’s nakedness; both of them shall be executed to death. Their blood shall be upon them.

vw@Leviticus:20:12 @ If a man lies with his daughter-in-law, both of them shall be executed to death. They have brought about perversion. Their blood shall be upon them.

vw@Leviticus:20:14 @ If a man marries a woman and her mother, it is wickedness. They shall be burned with fire, both he and they, that there may be no wickedness in your midst.

vw@Leviticus:20:16 @ If a woman approaches any beast and mates with it, you shall kill the woman and the beast. They shall die the death. Their blood is upon them.

vw@Leviticus:20:17 @ If a man takes his sister, his father’s daughter or his mother’s daughter, and gives attention to her nakedness and she gives attention to his nakedness, it is shameful. And they shall be cut off in the eyes of the sons of their people. He has uncovered his sister’s nakedness. He shall bear his iniquity.

vw@Leviticus:20:18 @ If a man lies with a woman when she is unwell and uncovers her nakedness, he has exposed her flow, and she has uncovered the flow of her blood. Both of them shall be cut off from among their people.

vw@Leviticus:20:19 @ You shall not uncover the nakedness of your mother’s sister nor of your father’s sister, for that would uncover his near of kin. They shall bear their iniquity.

vw@Leviticus:20:20 @ If a man lies with his aunt, he has uncovered his uncle’s nakedness. They shall bear their sin; they shall die childless.

vw@Leviticus:20:21 @ If a man takes his brother’s wife, it is an unclean thing. He has uncovered his brother’s nakedness. They shall be childless.

vw@Leviticus:20:25 @ You shall therefore distinguish between clean beasts and unclean, between unclean flying creatures and clean, and you shall not make your souls detestable by beast or by flying creature, or by any kind of living thing that moves on the ground, which I have set apart from you as unclean.

vw@Leviticus:20:27 @ A man or a woman who is a medium or a fortuneteller shall be executed to death; they shall stone them with stones. Their blood shall be upon them.

vw@Leviticus:21:1 @ And Jehovah said to Moses, Speak to the priests, the sons of Aaron, and say to them: No one shall be defiled for the dead among his people,

vw@Leviticus:21:2 @ except for his relatives who are nearest to him: his mother, his father, his son, his daughter, and his brother;

vw@Leviticus:21:3 @ also his virgin sister who is near to him, who has had no husband, for her he may be defiled.

vw@Leviticus:21:4 @ Otherwise, being a ruler among his people, he shall not be defiled to profane himself.

vw@Leviticus:21:7 @ They shall not take a wife who commits harlotry or a defiled woman, nor shall they take a woman put away from her husband; for he is holy unto his God.

vw@Leviticus:21:10 @ He who is the high priest among his brethren, upon whose head the anointing oil was poured and who is consecrated to wear the garments, shall not uncover his head nor tear his clothes;

vw@Leviticus:21:11 @ nor shall he go near any dead person, nor defile himself for his father or his mother;

vw@Leviticus:21:12 @ nor shall he go out of the sanctuary, nor profane the sanctuary of his God; for the consecration of the anointing oil of his God is upon him: I am Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:21:14 @ A widow or a divorced woman or a defiled woman or a harlot; these he shall not marry; but he shall take a virgin of his own people as wife.

vw@Leviticus:21:15 @ Nor shall he profane his seed among his people, for I Jehovah sanctify him.

vw@Leviticus:21:17 @ Speak to Aaron, saying: No man of your seed throughout their generations, who has any blemish, shall approach to offer the bread of his God.

vw@Leviticus:21:18 @ For any man who has a blemish shall not approach: a man blind or lame, mutilated or deformed,

vw@Leviticus:21:20 @ or is a hunchback or a dwarf, or a man who has a defect in his eye, or itch or scab, or with crushed testicles.

vw@Leviticus:21:21 @ No man of the seed of Aaron the priest, who has a blemish, shall come near to offer the offerings by fire unto Jehovah. He has a blemish; he shall not come near to offer the bread of his God.

vw@Leviticus:21:22 @ He may eat the bread of his God, both the set apart, holy, and the holy;

vw@Leviticus:21:23 @ only, he shall not enter the veil nor approach the altar, because he has a blemish; that he not profane My sanctuaries; for I am Jehovah who sanctifies them.

vw@Leviticus:21:24 @ Thus Moses spoke to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel.

vw@Leviticus:22:2 @ Speak to Aaron and his sons, that they set themselves apart from the holy things of the children of Israel, and that they do not profane My holy name by what they consecrate to Me: I am Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:22:3 @ Say to them: Anyone of your seed throughout your generations, who goes near the holy things which the children of Israel consecrate unto Jehovah, while he has uncleanness upon him, that soul shall be cut off from before My face: I am Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:22:4 @ Any man of the seed of Aaron, who is a leper or has a discharge, shall not eat of the holy things until he is clean. And whoever touches anything made unclean by a corpse, or a man whose seed goes out through intercourse,

vw@Leviticus:22:5 @ or whoever touches any swarming thing by which he is unclean, or any person by whom he is unclean, whatever his uncleanness may be;

vw@Leviticus:22:6 @ the soul who has touched any such thing shall be unclean until evening, and shall not eat of the holy things unless he washes his flesh with water.

vw@Leviticus:22:7 @ And when the sun goes down he shall be clean; and afterward he may eat the holy things, because it is his food.

vw@Leviticus:22:8 @ Whatever dies naturally or is torn by beasts he shall not eat, to defile himself with it: I am Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:22:11 @ But if the priest buys a soul with his money, he may eat it; and one who is born in his house may eat his food.

vw@Leviticus:22:12 @ If the priest’s daughter is married to a man who is a stranger, she shall not eat of the offerings of the holy things.

vw@Leviticus:22:13 @ But if the priest’s daughter is a widow or divorced, and has no child, and has returned to her father’s house as in her youth, she shall eat her father’s food; but no stranger shall eat it.

vw@Leviticus:22:15 @ They shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, which they offer unto Jehovah,

vw@Leviticus:22:18 @ Speak to Aaron and his sons, and to all the children of Israel, and say to them: Any man of the house of Israel, or of the sojourners in Israel, who presents his offering for any of his vows or for any of his freewill offerings, which they offer unto Jehovah as a burnt offering;

vw@Leviticus:22:19 @ you shall offer of your own will a male that is whole from the cattle, from the sheep, or from the goats.

vw@Leviticus:22:20 @ You shall not offer whatever has a blemish, for it shall not be acceptable for you.

vw@Leviticus:22:21 @ And whoever offers a sacrifice of peace offerings unto Jehovah to fulfill his vow, or a freewill offering from the cattle or the sheep, it shall be perfect to be accepted; there shall be no blemish in it.

vw@Leviticus:22:24 @ You shall not offer unto Jehovah what is bruised or crushed, or torn or cut; you shall not do it in your land.

vw@Leviticus:22:25 @ Nor from a foreigner’s hand shall you offer any of these as the bread of your God, because their corruption is in them, and blemishes are in them. They shall not be accepted for you.

vw@Leviticus:22:27 @ When a bull or a sheep or a goat is born, it shall be with its mother seven days; and from the eighth day and onward it shall be acceptable as an offering by fire unto Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:22:32 @ You shall not profane My holy name, but I will be treated holy among the children of Israel. I am Jehovah who sanctifies you,

vw@Leviticus:22:33 @ who is bringing you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:23:2 @ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: The set feasts of Jehovah, which you shall proclaim as holy convocations, these are My appointed times:

vw@Leviticus:23:3 @ Six days shall work be done, but the seventh day is a Sabbath observance of rest, a holy convocation. You shall do no work; it is the Sabbath of Jehovah in all your dwellings.

vw@Leviticus:23:5 @ On the fourteenth day of the first month at evening is the Passover unto Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:23:6 @ And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread unto Jehovah; seven days you shall eat unleavened bread.

vw@Leviticus:23:10 @ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When you come into the land which I am giving to you, and have reaped its harvest, and have brought a sheaf of the firstfruits of your harvest to the priest;

vw@Leviticus:23:12 @ And you shall offer on that day, when you wave the sheaf, a male lamb of the first year, that is whole, as a burnt offering unto Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:23:21 @ And you shall make a proclamation on the same day: it is a holy convocation to you. You shall do no labor of work. It shall be a perpetual statute in all your dwellings throughout your generations.

vw@Leviticus:23:24 @ Speak to the children of Israel, saying: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a Sabbath observance, a memorial of shouting with trumpet blasts, a holy convocation.

vw@Leviticus:23:27 @ Also the tenth day of this seventh month shall be a Day of Atonement. It shall be a holy convocation for you; you shall afflict your souls, and bring an offering by fire unto Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:23:28 @ And you shall do no work on that same day, for it is a Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before Jehovah your God.

vw@Leviticus:23:29 @ For any soul that is not afflicted on that same day shall be cut off from his people.

vw@Leviticus:23:30 @ And any soul who does any work on that same day, that soul I will destroy from among his people.

vw@Leviticus:23:34 @ Speak to the children of Israel, saying: The fifteenth day of this seventh month shall be the Feast of Booths for seven days unto Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:23:36 @ For seven days you shall offer an offering by fire unto Jehovah. On the eighth day you shall have a holy convocation, and you shall offer an offering by fire unto Jehovah. It is a solemn assembly, and you shall do no labor of work.

vw@Leviticus:23:42 @ You shall dwell in booths for seven days. All who are natives of Israel shall dwell in booths,

vw@Leviticus:23:43 @ that your generations may know that I made the children of Israel dwell in booths when I brought them out of the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God.

vw@Leviticus:23:44 @ Thus Moses declared to the children of Israel the feasts of Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:24:2 @ Command the children of Israel that they bring to you pure oil of beaten olives for the light, to make the lamps burn continually.

vw@Leviticus:24:8 @ Every Sabbath day he shall set it in order before Jehovah continually, from the children of Israel for a perpetual covenant.

vw@Leviticus:24:9 @ And it shall be for Aaron and his sons, and they shall eat it in the holy place; for it is set apart, holy, to him from the offerings of Jehovah by fire, by a perpetual statute.

vw@Leviticus:24:10 @ Now the son of an Israelite woman, whose father was Egyptian, went out among the children of Israel; and this son of the Israelite woman and a man of Israel struggled together in the camp.

vw@Leviticus:24:11 @ And the son of the Israelite woman blasphemed the Name and cursed; and so they brought him to Moses. (His mother’s name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Daniel.)

vw@Leviticus:24:14 @ Take him who has cursed outside the camp; and let all who heard him lay their hands on his head, and let all the congregation stone him.

vw@Leviticus:24:15 @ And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: Whoever curses his God shall bear his sin.

vw@Leviticus:24:16 @ And whoever blasphemes the name of Jehovah shall be executed to death. All the congregation shall stone him with stones, the sojourner as well as him who is born in the land. When he blasphemes the Name, he shall be put to death.

vw@Leviticus:24:19 @ If a man causes a blemish to his neighbor, as he has done, so shall it be done to him;

vw@Leviticus:24:20 @ break for break, eye for eye, tooth for tooth; as he has given a blemish to a man, so shall it be done to him.

vw@Leviticus:24:23 @ And Moses spoke to the children of Israel; and they took him who had cursed outside the camp, and stoned him with stones. Thus the children of Israel did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

vw@Leviticus:25:2 @ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When you come into the land which I am giving you, then the land shall keep a sabbath unto Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:25:5 @ What grows of its own accord of your harvest you shall not reap, nor gather the grapes of your untended vine, for it is a year of rest for the land.

vw@Leviticus:25:10 @ And you shall consecrate the fiftieth year, and proclaim liberty throughout all the land to all its inhabitants. It shall be a Jubilee for you; and each of you shall return to his possession, and each of you shall return to his family.

vw@Leviticus:25:12 @ For it is the Jubilee; it shall be holy to you; you shall eat its produce from the field.

vw@Leviticus:25:13 @ In the Year of Jubilee, each of you shall return to his possession.

vw@Leviticus:25:16 @ According to the multitude of years you shall increase its price, and according to the fewer number of years you shall diminish its price; for he sells to you according to the number of the crops.

vw@Leviticus:25:23 @ The land shall not be sold in perpetuity, for the land is Mine; for you are strangers and sojourners with Me.

vw@Leviticus:25:25 @ If one of your brethren becomes poor, and has sold some of his possession, and if his redeeming relative comes to redeem it, then he may redeem what his brother sold.

vw@Leviticus:25:27 @ then let him count the years since its sale, and restore the remainder to the man to whom he sold it, that he may return to his possession.

vw@Leviticus:25:28 @ But if he is not able to have it restored to himself, then what was sold shall remain in the hand of him who bought it until the Year of Jubilee; and in the Jubilee it shall go out, and he shall return to his possession.

vw@Leviticus:25:29 @ If a man sells a house in a walled city, then he may redeem it within a whole year after it is sold; within a full year he may redeem it.

vw@Leviticus:25:30 @ But if it is not redeemed within the space of a full year, then the house in the walled city shall be confirmed permanently to him who bought it, throughout his generations. It shall not go out in the Jubilee.

vw@Leviticus:25:33 @ And if a man redeems a house from the Levites, then the house that was sold in the city of his possession shall go out in the Jubilee; for the houses in the cities of the Levites are their possession among the children of Israel.

vw@Leviticus:25:34 @ But the field of the common land of their cities shall not be sold, for it is their perpetual possession.

vw@Leviticus:25:35 @ If one of your brethren becomes poor, and his hand has become shaky, then you shall support him, like a stranger or a sojourner, that he may live with you.

vw@Leviticus:25:41 @ And then he shall depart from you; he and his children with him; and shall return to his own family. He shall return to the possession of his fathers.

vw@Leviticus:25:46 @ And you shall take them as an inheritance for your children after you, to inherit them as a possession; they shall be your permanent slaves. But regarding your brethren, the children of Israel, you shall not rule over one another with harshness.

vw@Leviticus:25:48 @ after he is sold he may be redeemed again. One of his brothers may redeem him;

vw@Leviticus:25:49 @ or his uncle or his uncle’s son may redeem him; or anyone who is near of kin to him in his family may redeem him; or if he is able he may redeem himself.

vw@Leviticus:25:50 @ Thus he shall reckon with him who bought him: The price of his sale shall be according to the number of years, from the year that he was sold to him until the Year of Jubilee; it shall be according to the time of a hired servant for him.

vw@Leviticus:25:51 @ If there are still many years remaining, according to them he shall repay the price of his redemption from the money with which he was bought.

vw@Leviticus:25:52 @ And if there remain but a few years until the Year of Jubilee, then he shall reckon with him, and according to his years he shall repay him the price of his redemption.

vw@Leviticus:25:54 @ And if he is not redeemed in these years, then he shall go out in the Year of Jubilee; he and his children with him.

vw@Leviticus:25:55 @ For the children of Israel are servants to Me; they are My servants whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt: I am Jehovah your God.

vw@Leviticus:26:9 @ For I will look on you favorably and make you fruitful, multiply you and establish My covenant with you.

vw@Leviticus:26:15 @ and if you despise My statutes, or if your soul abhors My judgments, so that you do not do all My commandments, but break My covenant,

vw@Leviticus:26:16 @ I also will do this to you: I will even appoint terror over you, wasting disease and fever which shall consume the eyes and cause pining away of soul. And you shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

vw@Leviticus:26:18 @ And after all this, if you do not obey Me, then I will chastise you seven times more for your sins.

vw@Leviticus:26:24 @ then I also will walk contrary to you, and I will punish you yet seven times for your sins.

vw@Leviticus:26:26 @ And when I have cut off your supply of bread, ten women shall bake your bread in one oven, and they shall bring back your bread by weight, and you shall eat and not be satisfied.

vw@Leviticus:26:27 @ And after all this, if you do not obey Me, but walk contrary to Me,

vw@Leviticus:26:28 @ then I also will walk contrary to you in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins.

vw@Leviticus:26:32 @ I will bring the land to desolation, and your enemies who dwell in it shall be astonished at it.

vw@Leviticus:26:36 @ And as for those of you who are left, I will send faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; the sound of a driven leaf shall cause them to flee; they shall flee as though fleeing from a sword, and they shall fall when no one is pursuing.

vw@Leviticus:26:37 @ They shall stumble over one another, as it were before a sword, when no one is pursuing; and you shall have no power to stand before your enemies.

vw@Leviticus:26:38 @ You shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall consume you.

vw@Leviticus:26:41 @ and that I also have walked contrary to them and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if their uncircumcised hearts are humbled, and they accept their guilt;

vw@Leviticus:26:42 @ then I will remember My covenant with Jacob, and My covenant with Isaac and My covenant with Abraham I will remember; and I will remember the land.

vw@Leviticus:26:43 @ The land also shall be forsaken by them, and shall be satisfied with its sabbaths while it lies desolate without them; they shall accept their guilt, because they had despised My judgments and because their soul had abhorred My statutes.

vw@Leviticus:26:46 @ These are the statutes and judgments and laws which Jehovah has set between Himself and the children of Israel on Mount Sinai by the hand of Moses.

vw@Leviticus:27:2 @ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When a man makes an extraordinary vow of his soul unto Jehovah by valuation,

vw@Leviticus:27:3 @ if your valuation is of a male from twenty years old up to sixty years old, then your valuation shall be fifty shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

vw@Leviticus:27:4 @ If it is a female, then your valuation shall be thirty shekels;

vw@Leviticus:27:7 @ and if from sixty years old and above, if it is a male, then your valuation shall be fifteen shekels, and for a female ten shekels.

vw@Leviticus:27:8 @ But if he is too poor to pay your valuation, then he shall present himself before the priest, and the priest shall set a value for him; according to what he who vowed is able to afford, the priest shall value him.

vw@Leviticus:27:9 @ If it is an animal that men may bring as an offering unto Jehovah, all that anyone gives unto Jehovah shall be holy.

vw@Leviticus:27:11 @ If it is an unclean beast which they do not offer as an offering unto Jehovah, then he shall present the beast before the priest;

vw@Leviticus:27:12 @ and the priest shall set a value for it, whether it is good or bad; as you, the priest, value it, so it shall be.

vw@Leviticus:27:14 @ And when a man consecrates his house to be holy unto Jehovah, then the priest shall set a value for it, whether it is good or bad; as the priest values it, so it shall stand.

vw@Leviticus:27:15 @ If he who consecrated it will redeem his house, then he shall add one-fifth of the money of your valuation to it, and it shall be his.

vw@Leviticus:27:16 @ If a man consecrates unto Jehovah part of a field of his possession, then your valuation shall be according to the seed for it. A homer of barley seed shall be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

vw@Leviticus:27:17 @ If he consecrates his field from the Year of Jubilee, according to your valuation it shall stand.

vw@Leviticus:27:18 @ But if he consecrates his field after the Jubilee, then the priest shall reckon to him the money due according to the years that remain till the Year of Jubilee, and it shall be deducted from your valuation.

vw@Leviticus:27:22 @ And if a man consecrates unto Jehovah a field which he has bought, which is not the field of his possession,

vw@Leviticus:27:26 @ But the firstborn of the beasts, which is the firstborn unto Jehovah, no man shall consecrate; whether ox or sheep: it is already Jehovah’s.

vw@Leviticus:27:27 @ And if it is an unclean beast, then he shall redeem it according to your valuation, and shall add one-fifth to it; or if it is not redeemed, then it shall be sold according to your valuation.

vw@Leviticus:27:28 @ Nevertheless no devoted thing that a man may devote unto Jehovah of all that he has, both man and beast, or the field of his possession, shall be sold or redeemed; every devoted thing is set apart, holy, unto Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:27:30 @ And all the tithe of the land, whether of the seed of the land or of the fruit of the tree, is Jehovah’s. It is holy unto Jehovah.

vw@Leviticus:27:31 @ If a man will pay to redeem any of his tithes, he shall add one-fifth to it.

vw@Leviticus:27:33 @ He shall not inquire whether it is good or bad, nor shall he exchange it; and if he makes a change to exchange it, then both it and the one exchanged for it shall be holy; it shall not be redeemed.

vw@Leviticus:27:34 @ These are the commandments which Jehovah commanded Moses for the children of Israel on Mount Sinai.

vw@Numbers:1:2 @ Take a head count of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, by their families, by their fathers’ houses, according to the number of names, every male by head,

vw@Numbers:3:8 @ And they shall have charge of all the utensils of the tent of meeting, and the charge of the children of Israel, to do the service of the tabernacle.

vw@Numbers:3:9 @ And you shall give the Levites to Aaron and his sons; they are assigned to him from among the sons of Israel.

vw@Numbers:3:10 @ Thus you shall appoint Aaron and his sons, and they shall have charge of the priesthood; but the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.

vw@Numbers:3:12 @ And behold, I Myself have taken the Levites from among the sons of Israel instead of every firstborn who opens the womb among the sons of Israel. Therefore the Levites shall be Mine,

vw@Numbers:3:13 @ because all the firstborn are Mine. On the day that I struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, I consecrated to Myself every firstborn in Israel, both man and beast. They are Mine: I am Jehovah.

vw@Numbers:3:31 @ Their charge was the ark, the table, the lampstand, the altars, the utensils of the sanctuary with which they ministered, the veil, and all their service.

vw@Numbers:3:38 @ And those who were to encamp before the tabernacle on the east, before the tent of meeting, were Moses, Aaron, and his sons, keeping charge of the sanctuary, to keep the charge of the children of Israel. And the stranger who comes near shall be put to death.

vw@Numbers:3:40 @ And Jehovah said to Moses: Number all the firstborn males of the children of Israel from a month old and above, and take the number of their names.

vw@Numbers:3:41 @ And you shall take the Levites for Me (I am Jehovah) instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the cattle of the children of Israel.

vw@Numbers:3:42 @ So Moses numbered all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, as Jehovah had commanded him.

vw@Numbers:3:45 @ Take the Levites instead of all the firstborn among the sons of Israel, and the cattle of the Levites instead of their cattle. The Levites are Mine: I am Jehovah.

vw@Numbers:3:48 @ And you shall give the money, with which the excess number of them is redeemed, to Aaron and his sons.

vw@Numbers:3:50 @ From the firstborn of the sons of Israel he took the money, one thousand three hundred and sixty-five shekels, according to the shekel of the sanctuary.

vw@Numbers:3:51 @ And Moses gave their redemption money to Aaron and his sons, at the mouth of Jehovah, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

vw@Numbers:4:4 @ This is the service of the sons of Kohath in the tent of meeting, regarding the set apart, holy things:

vw@Numbers:4:5 @ When the camp sets out, Aaron and his sons shall come, and they shall take down the covering veil, and cover the ark of the Testimony with it.

vw@Numbers:4:7 @ On the table of the Bread of the Presence they shall spread a violet cloth, and put on it the dishes, the spoons, the bowls, and the jars for pouring; and the continual bread shall be on it.

vw@Numbers:4:12 @ And they shall take all the utensils of service with which they minister in the sanctuary, put them in a violet cloth, cover them with a covering of badger skins, and put them on a bar.

vw@Numbers:4:14 @ They shall put on it all its implements with which they minister there; the firepans, the forks, the shovels, the basins, and all the utensils of the altar; and they shall spread on it a covering of badger skins, and insert its poles.

vw@Numbers:4:15 @ And when Aaron and his sons have finished covering the sanctuary and all the furnishings of the sanctuary, when the camp sets out then the sons of Kohath shall come to carry them; but they shall not touch the holy things, lest they die. These are the burdens of the tent of meeting for the sons of Kohath.

vw@Numbers:4:16 @ The charge of Eleazar the son of Aaron the priest is the oil for the light, the spiced incense, the continual grain offering, the anointing oil, the oversight of all the tabernacle, of all that is in it, with the sanctuary and its furnishings.

vw@Numbers:4:19 @ but do this to them, that they may live and not die when they approach the set apart, holy things: Aaron and his sons shall go in and appoint each man to his service and his burden.

vw@Numbers:4:24 @ This is the service of the families of the Gershonites, in serving and the burdens:

vw@Numbers:4:25 @ They shall carry the curtains of the tabernacle and the tent of meeting with its covering, the covering of badger skins that is on it, the screen for the door of the tent of meeting,

vw@Numbers:4:26 @ the screen for the door of the gate of the court, the hangings of the court which are around the tabernacle and altar, and their cords, all the furnishings for their service and all that is made for these things: thus shall they serve.

vw@Numbers:4:27 @ At the mouth of Aaron and his sons shall be all the service of the sons of the Gershonites, all their burdens and all their service. And you shall assign to them the charge of their burdens.

vw@Numbers:4:28 @ This is the service of the families of the sons of Gershon in the tent of meeting. And their charge shall be under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

vw@Numbers:4:31 @ And this is the charge of their burden according to all their service for the tent of meeting: the boards of the tabernacle, its bars, its pillars, its sockets,

vw@Numbers:4:32 @ and the pillars around the court with their sockets, pegs, and cords, with all their furnishings and all their service; and you shall assign to each man by name the utensils of the charge of his burden.

vw@Numbers:4:33 @ This is the service of the families of the sons of Merari, according to all their service for the tent of meeting, under the hand of Ithamar the son of Aaron the priest.

vw@Numbers:4:46 @ All who were numbered of the Levites, whom Moses, Aaron, and the leaders of Israel numbered, by their families and by their fathers’ house,

vw@Numbers:4:49 @ At the mouth of Jehovah they were numbered by the hand of Moses, each man according to his service and according to his burden; thus were they numbered by him, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

vw@Numbers:5:2 @ Command the children of Israel that they send out of the camp every leper, everyone who has a discharge, and everyone who is unclean because of the dead.

vw@Numbers:5:4 @ And the children of Israel did so, and sent them outside the camp; as Jehovah had spoken to Moses, so the children of Israel did.

vw@Numbers:5:6 @ Speak to the children of Israel: When a man or woman commits any sin that men commit in unfaithfulness against Jehovah, and that soul is guilty,

vw@Numbers:5:7 @ then they shall confess the sin which they have done. He shall make restitution for his trespass in full, add a fifth to it, and give it to the one he has wronged.

vw@Numbers:5:8 @ But if the man has no relative to whom restitution may be made for the wrong, the restitution for the wrong shall go to Jehovah for the priest, besides the ram of the atonement with which atonement is made for him.

vw@Numbers:5:9 @ Every offering of all the holy things of the children of Israel, which they bring to the priest, shall be his.

vw@Numbers:5:10 @ And every man’s holy things shall be his; whatever any man gives to the priest shall be his.

vw@Numbers:5:12 @ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: If any man’s wife turns aside and transgresses in unfaithfulness toward him,

vw@Numbers:5:13 @ and a man has lain with her with the seed of intercourse, and it is hidden from the eyes of her husband, and it is concealed that she has been defiled, and there was no witness against her, nor has she been caught;

vw@Numbers:5:14 @ if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife, who has been defiled; or if the spirit of jealousy comes upon him and he becomes jealous of his wife, although she has not been defiled;

vw@Numbers:5:15 @ then the man shall bring his wife to the priest. He shall bring the offering for her, one-tenth of an ephah of barley meal; he shall pour no oil on it and put no frankincense on it, because it is a grain offering of jealousy, an offering for remembering, for bringing iniquity to remembrance.

vw@Numbers:5:17 @ The priest shall take holy water in an earthen vessel, and take some of the dust that is on the floor of the tabernacle and put it into the water.

vw@Numbers:5:18 @ And the priest shall make the woman stand before Jehovah, uncover the woman’s head, and put the offering for remembering in her hands, which is the grain offering of jealousy. And in the priest’s hand shall be the bitter water that brings a curse.

vw@Numbers:5:19 @ And the priest shall charge her under oath, and say to the woman, If no man has lain with you, and if you have not turned aside to uncleanness while under your husband, be free from this bitter water that brings a curse.

vw@Numbers:5:22 @ and this water that causes the curse shall go into your stomach, and make your belly swell and your thigh waste away. And the woman shall say, Amen, amen.

vw@Numbers:5:28 @ But if the woman has not been defiled, and is pure, then she shall be free and shall conceive children.

vw@Numbers:5:29 @ This is the law of jealousy, when a wife, while under her husband, turns aside and has been defiled;

vw@Numbers:5:30 @ or when the spirit of jealousy comes upon a man, and he becomes jealous of his wife; then he shall make the woman stand before Jehovah, and the priest shall pass all this law upon her.

vw@Numbers:6:2 @ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When either a man or woman makes an extraordinary vow, the vow of a Nazirite, to separate himself unto Jehovah,

vw@Numbers:6:4 @ All the days of his separation he shall eat nothing that is produced from the grapevine, from seed to skin.

vw@Numbers:6:5 @ All the days of the vow of his separation no razor shall pass over his head; until the days are fulfilled for which he separated himself unto Jehovah, he shall be holy; he shall allow the locks of the hair of his head to grow.

vw@Numbers:6:7 @ He shall not make himself unclean for his father or his mother, for his brother or his sister, at their death, because his consecration unto God is upon his head.

vw@Numbers:6:8 @ All the days of his separation he shall be holy unto Jehovah.

vw@Numbers:6:9 @ And if in dying anyone dies very suddenly beside him, and he defiles his consecrated head, then he shall shave his head on the day of his cleansing; on the seventh day he shall shave it.

vw@Numbers:6:11 @ and the priest shall offer one as a sin offering and the other as a burnt offering, and make atonement for him, because he has sinned regarding the dead person; and he shall consecrate his head that same day.

vw@Numbers:6:12 @ He shall dedicate unto Jehovah the days of his separation, and bring a male lamb of the first year as a trespass offering; and the former days are lost, because his separation was defiled.

vw@Numbers:6:13 @ And this is the law of the Nazirite: When the days of his separation are fulfilled, he shall be brought to the door of the tent of meeting.

vw@Numbers:6:14 @ And he shall present his offering unto Jehovah: one male lamb of the first year that is whole as a burnt offering, one ewe lamb of the first year that is whole as a sin offering, one ram that is whole as a peace offering,

vw@Numbers:6:16 @ And the priest shall bring them before Jehovah and offer his sin offering and his burnt offering;

vw@Numbers:6:18 @ And the Nazirite shall shave his consecrated head at the door of the tent of meeting, and shall take the hair from his consecrated head and put it on the fire which is under the sacrifice of the peace offerings.

vw@Numbers:6:19 @ And the priest shall take the boiled shoulder of the ram, one unleavened cake from the basket, and one unleavened wafer, and put them upon the hands of the Nazirite after he has shaved his consecrated hair,

vw@Numbers:6:21 @ This is the law of the Nazirite who vows unto Jehovah the offering for his separation, and besides that, whatever his hand is able to afford; according to the vow which he vows, thus he shall do according to the law of his separation.

vw@Numbers:6:23 @ Speak to Aaron and his sons, saying, In this manner you shall bless the children of Israel. Say unto them:

vw@Numbers:6:25 @ Jehovah make His face shine upon you, and be gracious unto you;

vw@Numbers:6:26 @ Jehovah lift up His presence upon you, and give you peace.

vw@Numbers:6:27 @ Thus they shall put My name upon the children of Israel, and I will bless them.

vw@Numbers:7:1 @ And it came to pass on the day that Moses had finished setting up the tabernacle, that he anointed it and consecrated it and all its furnishings, and the altar and all its utensils; thus he anointed them and consecrated them.

vw@Numbers:7:2 @ And the leaders of Israel, the heads of their fathers’ houses, who were the leaders of the tribes and over those who were numbered, brought offerings.

vw@Numbers:7:5 @ Receive it from them, that they may be used in doing the service of the tent of meeting; and you shall give them to the Levites, to every man according to his service.

vw@Numbers:8:20 @ Thus Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the sons of Israel did to the Levites; according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, thus the sons of Israel did to them.

vw@Numbers:8:22 @ Afterward the Levites went in to do their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron and his sons; as Jehovah had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, thus they did to them.

vw@Numbers:8:24 @ This is what applies to the Levites: From twenty-five years old and above one shall enter to go forth to serve in the service of the tent of meeting;

vw@Numbers:9:15 @ And on the day that the tabernacle was raised up, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the Testimony; from evening until morning it was above the tabernacle like the appearance of fire.

vw@Numbers:9:17 @ Whenever the cloud was taken up from above the tent, after that the children of Israel would set out; and in the place where the cloud settled, there the children of Israel would encamp.

vw@Numbers:9:18 @ At the mouth of Jehovah the children of Israel would set out, and at the mouth of Jehovah they would encamp; for as many days as the cloud stayed above the tabernacle they remained encamped.

vw@Numbers:9:19 @ When the cloud continued long, many days above the tabernacle, the children of Israel kept the charge of Jehovah and did not set out.

vw@Numbers:9:22 @ Whether it was two days, a month, or a year that the cloud remained above the tabernacle, the children of Israel would remain encamped and not set out; but when it was taken up, they would set out.

vw@Numbers:10:4 @ And if they blow with one, then the leaders, the heads of the thousands of Israel, shall gather to you.

vw@Numbers:10:7 @ And when the assembly is to be gathered together, you shall blow, but not sound the alarm.

vw@Numbers:10:8 @ The sons of Aaron, the priests, shall blow the trumpets; and this shall be to you as a perpetual ordinance throughout your generations.

vw@Numbers:10:12 @ And the children of Israel set out from the wilderness of Sinai on their journeys; and the cloud settled down in the wilderness of Paran.

vw@Numbers:10:15 @ Over the army of the tribe of the children of Issachar was Nethanel the son of Zuar.

vw@Numbers:10:19 @ Over the army of the tribe of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai.

vw@Numbers:10:22 @ And the standard of the camp of the children of Ephraim set out according to their armies; over their army was Elishama the son of Ammihud.

vw@Numbers:10:25 @ And the standard of the camp of the children of Dan (the rear guard of all the camps) set out according to their armies; over their army was Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai.

vw@Numbers:10:28 @ Thus were the journeyings of the children of Israel, according to their armies, when they set out.

vw@Numbers:10:29 @ And Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses’ father-in-law, We are setting out for the place of which Jehovah has said, I will give it to you. Come with us, and we will treat you well; for Jehovah has promised good to Israel.

vw@Numbers:10:35 @ Thus it was, whenever the ark set out, that Moses said: Rise up, O Jehovah! Let Your enemies be scattered, and let those who hate You flee before You.

vw@Numbers:10:36 @ And when it rested, he said: Return, O Jehovah, to the multitudes of the thousands of Israel.

vw@Numbers:11:1 @ Now the people murmured, and it was evil in the ears of Jehovah; for Jehovah heard it, and His anger burned. And the fire of Jehovah burned among them, and consumed those in the outskirts of the camp.

vw@Numbers:11:4 @ And the mixed multitude who were among them lusted after their lusts; and the children of Israel turned back and wept, saying: Who will give us flesh to eat?

vw@Numbers:11:5 @ We remember the fish which we ate freely in Egypt, the cucumbers, the melons, the leeks, the onions, and the garlic;

vw@Numbers:11:6 @ but now our soul is dried up; there is nothing at all except this manna before our eyes!

vw@Numbers:11:10 @ And Moses heard the people weeping throughout their families, everyone at the door of his tent; and the anger of Jehovah burned greatly; and it was evil in the eyes of Moses.

vw@Numbers:11:15 @ If You are dealing with me like this, please kill and destroy me, if I have found favor in Your eyes; and do not let me see my distress!

vw@Numbers:11:16 @ And Jehovah said to Moses: Gather unto Me seventy men of the elders of Israel, whom you know to be elders of the people and officers over them; bring them to the tent of meeting, and they shall stand there with you.

vw@Numbers:11:17 @ And I will come down and speak with you there. And I will take of the Spirit that is upon you and will lay upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, that you not bear it yourself alone.

vw@Numbers:11:20 @ but to a month of days, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you, because you have despised Jehovah who is among you, and have wept before Him, saying, Why have we come up out of Egypt?

vw@Numbers:11:22 @ Shall flocks and herds be slaughtered for them, to provide enough for them? Or shall all the fish of the sea be gathered together for them, to provide for them?

vw@Numbers:11:23 @ And Jehovah said to Moses, Is the hand of Jehovah shortened? Now you shall see whether My word shall come to pass unto you or not.

vw@Numbers:11:28 @ And Joshua the son of Nun, minister to Moses, a youth, answered and said, Moses my lord, stop them!

vw@Numbers:11:29 @ And Moses said to him, Are you jealous for my sake? Oh, that all the people of Jehovah were prophets and that Jehovah would put His Spirit upon them!

vw@Numbers:11:30 @ And Moses withdrew into the camp, he and the elders of Israel.

vw@Numbers:12:6 @ And He said, Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, Jehovah, reveal Myself to him in a vision; I speak to him in a dream.

vw@Numbers:12:7 @ Not so with My servant Moses! He is faithful in all My house.

vw@Numbers:12:11 @ And Aaron said to Moses, Oh my lord I beseech you! Do not lay this sin upon us, in which we have done foolishly and in which we have sinned.

vw@Numbers:12:12 @ I beseech you, do not let her be as one dead, whose flesh is half consumed when he comes out of his mother’s womb!

vw@Numbers:13:2 @ Send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from each tribe of their fathers you shall send a man, every one a leader among them.

vw@Numbers:13:3 @ And Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran at the mouth of Jehovah, all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.

vw@Numbers:13:7 @ from the tribe of Issachar, Igal the son of Joseph;

vw@Numbers:13:11 @ from the tribe of Joseph, that is, from the tribe of Manasseh, Gaddi the son of Susi;

vw@Numbers:13:17 @ And Moses sent them to spy out the land of Canaan, and said to them, Go up this way into the south, and go up into the mountains,

vw@Numbers:13:18 @ and see what the land is: whether the people who dwell in it are strong or weak, few or many;

vw@Numbers:13:19 @ whether the land they dwell in is good or bad; whether the cities they inhabit are like camps or strongholds;

vw@Numbers:13:20 @ whether the land is fat or lean; and whether there are forests there or not. Be of good courage. And bring some of the fruit of the land. Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.

vw@Numbers:13:24 @ The place was called the Valley of Eshcol, because of the cluster which the sons of Israel cut down there.

vw@Numbers:13:26 @ And they departed and came to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of the children of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; they brought back word to them and to all the congregation, and showed them the fruit of the land.

vw@Numbers:13:27 @ And they reported to him and said: We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit.

vw@Numbers:13:30 @ And Caleb silenced the people before Moses, and said, Let us arise to go up and take possession, for we are able to prevail.

vw@Numbers:13:32 @ And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature.

vw@Numbers:14:2 @ And all the children of Israel complained against Moses and Aaron, and the whole congregation said to them, Oh that we had died in the land of Egypt! Or that only we had died in this wilderness!

vw@Numbers:14:3 @ Why is Jehovah bringing us to this land to fall by the sword, that our wives and children should become prey? Would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?

vw@Numbers:14:5 @ Then Moses and Aaron fell on their faces before all the assembly of the congregation of the children of Israel.

vw@Numbers:14:7 @ and they spoke to all the congregation of the children of Israel, saying: The land we passed through to spy out is an exceedingly good land.

vw@Numbers:14:8 @ If Jehovah has delighted in us, then He will bring us into this land and give it to us; a land flowing with milk and honey.

vw@Numbers:14:9 @ Only do not rebel against Jehovah, nor fear the people of the land, for they are our bread; their shade has departed from them, and Jehovah is with us. Do not fear them.

vw@Numbers:14:10 @ And all the congregation intended to stone them with stones. And the glory of Jehovah appeared in the tent of meeting before all the children of Israel.

vw@Numbers:14:12 @ I will strike them with pestilence and dispossess them, and I will make of you a nation greater and mightier than they.

vw@Numbers:14:14 @ and they will tell it to the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that You, Jehovah, are among these people; that You, Jehovah, are seen face to face and Your cloud stands above them, and You go before them in a pillar of cloud by day and in a pillar of fire by night.

vw@Numbers:14:16 @ Because Jehovah was not able to bring this people to the land which He swore to give them, therefore He killed them in the wilderness.

vw@Numbers:14:18 @ Jehovah is longsuffering and abundant in mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression; but not acquitting to leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generation.

vw@Numbers:14:19 @ Pardon the iniquity of this people, I pray, according to the greatness of Your mercy, just as You have borne this people, from Egypt even until now.

vw@Numbers:14:24 @ But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his seed shall possess it.

vw@Numbers:14:27 @ How long shall I bear with this evil congregation who complain against Me? I have heard the murmurings which the children of Israel grumble against Me.

vw@Numbers:14:29 @ The carcasses of you who have grumbled against Me shall fall in this wilderness, all of you who were numbered, according to your entire number, from twenty years old and above.

vw@Numbers:14:30 @ Except for Caleb the son of Jephunneh and Joshua the son of Nun, you shall by no means enter the land which I raised My hand and swore to make you dwell there.

vw@Numbers:14:32 @ But as for you, your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness.

vw@Numbers:14:35 @ I Jehovah have spoken: I will surely do so to all this evil congregation who are gathered together against Me. In this wilderness they shall be consumed, and there they shall die.

vw@Numbers:14:39 @ And Moses told these words to all the children of Israel, and the people mourned greatly.

vw@Numbers:14:40 @ And they arose early in the morning and went up to the top of the mountain, saying, Here we are, and we will go up to the place which Jehovah has promised; for we have sinned.

vw@Numbers:14:42 @ Do not go up, that you not be smitten before your enemies, for Jehovah is not among you.

vw@Numbers:14:43 @ For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you shall fall by the sword, because you have turned away from Jehovah; Jehovah is not with you.

vw@Numbers:15:2 @ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When you have come into the land you are to inhabit, which I am giving to you,

vw@Numbers:15:4 @ then he who presents his offering unto Jehovah shall bring a grain offering of one-tenth of an ephah of fine flour mixed with one-fourth of a hin of oil;

vw@Numbers:15:13 @ All who are natives shall do these things in this manner, in presenting an offering by fire, a soothing aroma unto Jehovah.

vw@Numbers:15:14 @ And if a stranger sojourns with you, or whoever is among you throughout your generations, and would present an offering by fire, a soothing aroma unto Jehovah, just as you do, so shall he do.

vw@Numbers:15:15 @ One ordinance shall be for you of the assembly and for the stranger who sojourns with you, a perpetual ordinance throughout your generations; as it is for you, so shall it be for the sojourner before Jehovah.

vw@Numbers:15:18 @ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When you come into the land to which I am bringing you,

vw@Numbers:15:24 @ then it shall be, if it is done unintentionally, without the knowledge of the congregation, that the whole congregation shall offer one young bull as a burnt offering, as a soothing aroma unto Jehovah, with its grain offering and its drink offering, according to the ordinance, and one kid of the goats as a sin offering.

vw@Numbers:15:25 @ Thus the priest shall make atonement for the whole congregation of the children of Israel, and it shall be forgiven them, for it was unintentional; they shall bring their offering, an offering by fire unto Jehovah, and their sin offering before Jehovah, for their unintended sin.

vw@Numbers:15:26 @ It shall be forgiven the whole congregation of the children of Israel and the stranger who sojourns among them, because all the people did it unintentionally.

vw@Numbers:15:29 @ You shall have one law for him who sins unintentionally, for him who is a native among the children of Israel and for the stranger who sojourns among them.

vw@Numbers:15:30 @ But the soul who does anything loftily, whether he is a native or a sojourner, that one blasphemes Jehovah, and that soul shall be cut off from among his people.

vw@Numbers:15:31 @ Because he has despised the Word of Jehovah, and has broken His commandment, that soul shall be cut down to be cut off; his iniquity shall be upon him.

vw@Numbers:15:32 @ Now while the children of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Sabbath day.

vw@Numbers:15:38 @ Speak to the children of Israel and say to them to make fringes on the edges of their garments throughout their generations, and to put a violet thread in the fringes of the edges.

vw@Numbers:16:2 @ and they rose up before Moses with some of the sons of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation, representatives of the congregation, men of renown.

vw@Numbers:16:3 @ They gathered together against Moses and Aaron, and said to them, You take too much upon yourselves, for all the congregation is holy, every one of them, and Jehovah is among them. Why then do you exalt yourselves above the assembly of Jehovah?

vw@Numbers:16:4 @ And when Moses heard it, he fell on his face;

vw@Numbers:16:5 @ and he spoke to Korah and all his company, saying, Tomorrow morning Jehovah will show who is His and who is holy, and will cause him to come near to Him. The one whom He chooses He will cause to come near to Him.

vw@Numbers:16:6 @ Do this: Take censers, Korah and all your company;

vw@Numbers:16:7 @ put fire in them and put incense in them before Jehovah tomorrow, and it shall be that the man whom Jehovah chooses is the holy one. You take too much upon yourselves, you sons of Levi!

vw@Numbers:16:9 @ Is it a small thing to you that the God of Israel has separated you from the congregation of Israel, to bring you near to Himself, to do the work of the tabernacle of Jehovah, and to stand before the congregation to serve them;

vw@Numbers:16:11 @ Therefore you and all your company are gathered together against Jehovah. And what is Aaron that you grumble against him?

vw@Numbers:16:13 @ Is it a small thing that you have brought us up out of a land flowing with milk and honey, to kill us in the wilderness, that you rule to lord it over us?

vw@Numbers:16:17 @ Each one take his censer and put incense in it, and each of you bring his censer before Jehovah, two hundred and fifty censers; you and Aaron, each with his censer.

vw@Numbers:16:18 @ And each man took his censer, put fire in it, laid incense on it, and stood at the door of the tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.

vw@Numbers:16:21 @ Separate yourselves from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment.

vw@Numbers:16:25 @ And Moses arose and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the elders of Israel followed him.

vw@Numbers:16:28 @ And Moses said: By this you shall know that Jehovah has sent me to do all these works, for I have not done them from my own heart.

vw@Numbers:16:29 @ If these men die the death of all men, or if they are visited according to the visitation of all men, then Jehovah has not sent me.

vw@Numbers:16:31 @ And it came to pass, as he finished speaking all these words, that the ground split apart under them,

vw@Numbers:16:33 @ So they and all those with them went down alive into Sheol; the earth covered over them, and they perished from among the assembly.

vw@Numbers:16:34 @ And all Israel who were around them fled at the sound, for they thought, Lest the earth swallow us up also!

vw@Numbers:16:38 @ The censers of these men who sinned against their own souls, let them be made into broad plates as a covering for the altar; because they presented them before Jehovah, therefore they are holy; and they shall be a sign unto the children of Israel.

vw@Numbers:16:40 @ as a memorial to the children of Israel; that no strange man, who is not a seed of Aaron, should come near to offer incense before Jehovah, that he might not become like Korah and his company, as Jehovah had spoken by the hand of Moses.

vw@Numbers:16:41 @ And the next day all the congregation of the children of Israel grumbled against Moses and Aaron, saying, You have killed the people of Jehovah.

vw@Numbers:16:45 @ Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them in a moment. And they fell on their faces.

vw@Numbers:17:2 @ Speak to the children of Israel, and take from them a staff, a staff from each father’s house, all their leaders according to their fathers’ houses; twelve staffs. Write each man’s name on his staff.

vw@Numbers:17:5 @ And it shall be that the staff of the man whom I choose shall blossom; thus I will put to rest the murmurings of the children of Israel, with which they grumble against you.

vw@Numbers:17:6 @ And Moses spoke to the children of Israel, and each of their leaders gave him a staff apiece, for each leader a staff according to their fathers’ houses, twelve staffs; and the staff of Aaron was among their staffs.

vw@Numbers:17:9 @ And Moses brought out all the staffs from before Jehovah to all the children of Israel; and they looked, and each man took his staff.

vw@Numbers:17:12 @ And the children of Israel spoke to Moses, saying, Behold we have died, we have perished, we have all perished!

vw@Numbers:18:5 @ And you shall keep the charge of the sanctuary and the charge of the altar, that there be no more wrath upon the children of Israel.

vw@Numbers:18:6 @ And I, behold, I have taken your brethren the Levites from among the children of Israel; they are a gift to you, given by Jehovah, to do the service of the tent of meeting.

vw@Numbers:18:8 @ And Jehovah spoke to Aaron: I, behold I have also given you the charge of My heave offerings, all the holy things of the children of Israel; I have given them to you and your sons because of the anointing, as a perpetual ordinance.

vw@Numbers:18:9 @ This shall be yours of the set apart, holy, things from the fire: every offering of theirs, every grain offering and every sin offering and every trespass offering which they return to Me, shall be set apart, holy, for you and your sons.

vw@Numbers:18:11 @ This also is yours: the heave offering of their gift, with all the wave offerings of the children of Israel; I have given them to you, and your sons and daughters with you, as a perpetual ordinance. Everyone who is clean in your house shall eat it.

vw@Numbers:18:13 @ The first ripe fruit that is in their land which they bring unto Jehovah shall be yours. Everyone who is clean in your house shall eat it.

vw@Numbers:18:14 @ Every devoted thing in Israel shall be yours.

vw@Numbers:18:16 @ And the redeemed things you shall redeem after it is a month old, according to your valuation, for five shekels of silver, according to the shekel of the sanctuary; which is twenty gerahs.

vw@Numbers:18:19 @ All the heave offerings of the holy things, which the children of Israel offer unto Jehovah, I have given to you and your sons and daughters with you as a perpetual ordinance; it is a covenant of salt always before Jehovah with you and your seed with you.

vw@Numbers:18:20 @ And Jehovah said to Aaron: You shall have no inheritance in their land, nor shall you have any portion among them; I am your portion and your inheritance among the children of Israel.

vw@Numbers:18:21 @ Behold, I have given the children of Levi all the tithes in Israel as an inheritance in return for the service in which they serve, the service of the tent of meeting.

vw@Numbers:18:22 @ Neither shall the children of Israel come anymore near the tent of meeting, lest they bear sin and die.

vw@Numbers:18:23 @ But the Levites shall do the work of service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity; it shall be a perpetual statute, throughout your generations, that they shall have no inheritance among the children of Israel.

vw@Numbers:18:24 @ For the tithes of the children of Israel, which they offer up as a heave offering unto Jehovah, I have given to the Levites as an inheritance; therefore I have said to them, They shall have no inheritance among the children of Israel.

vw@Numbers:18:26 @ Speak thus to the Levites, and say to them: When you take from the children of Israel the tithes which I have given you from them as your inheritance, then you shall offer up a heave offering of it unto Jehovah, a tithe of the tithe.

vw@Numbers:18:28 @ Thus you shall also offer a heave offering unto Jehovah from all your tithes which you receive from the children of Israel, and you shall give the heave offering of Jehovah from it to Aaron the priest.

vw@Numbers:18:31 @ You shall eat it in any place, you and your houses, for it is your wages for your service in the tent of meeting.

vw@Numbers:18:32 @ And you shall bear no sin because of it, when you have lifted up from it the best of it. And you shall not profane the holy things of the children of Israel, that you not die.

vw@Numbers:19:2 @ This is the ordinance of the Law which Jehovah has commanded, saying: Speak to the children of Israel, that they bring you a red heifer that is whole, in which there is no blemish and upon which a yoke has never come.

vw@Numbers:19:4 @ and Eleazar the priest shall take some of its blood with his finger, and sprinkle some of its blood seven times before the front of the tent of meeting.

vw@Numbers:19:5 @ And the heifer shall be burned before his eyes: its hide, its flesh, its blood, and its dung shall be burned.

vw@Numbers:19:7 @ Then the priest shall wash his clothes, he shall bathe his flesh in water, and afterward he shall come into the camp; the priest shall be unclean until evening.

vw@Numbers:19:8 @ And the one who burns it shall wash his clothes in water, bathe his flesh in water, and shall be unclean until evening.

vw@Numbers:19:9 @ And a man who is clean shall gather up the ashes of the heifer, and deposit them outside the camp in a clean place; and they shall be kept for the congregation of the children of Israel for the water of impurity; it is for purifying from sin.

vw@Numbers:19:10 @ And the one who gathers the ashes of the heifer shall wash his clothes, and be unclean until evening. It shall be a perpetual statute to the children of Israel and to the stranger who sojourns among them.

vw@Numbers:19:11 @ He who touches a man, his soul having died, shall be unclean seven days.

vw@Numbers:19:13 @ Whoever touches a dead man, his soul having died, and does not purify himself, has defiled the tabernacle of Jehovah. That soul shall be cut off from Israel. He shall be unclean, because the water of impurity was not sprinkled upon him; his uncleanness is still upon him.

vw@Numbers:19:14 @ This is the law when a man dies in a tent: All who come into the tent and all who are in the tent shall be unclean seven days;

vw@Numbers:19:15 @ and every open vessel, which has no cover fastened on it, is unclean.

vw@Numbers:19:19 @ The clean person shall sprinkle the unclean on the third day and on the seventh day; and on the seventh day he shall purify himself, wash his clothes, and bathe in water; and at evening he shall be clean.

vw@Numbers:19:20 @ But the man who is unclean and does not purify himself, that soul shall be cut off from among the assembly, because he has defiled the sanctuary of Jehovah. The water of impurity has not been sprinkled on him; he is unclean.

vw@Numbers:19:21 @ It shall be a perpetual statute for them. He who sprinkles the water of impurity shall wash his clothes; and he who touches the water of impurity shall be unclean until evening.

vw@Numbers:20:1 @ And the children of Israel, the whole congregation, came into the wilderness of Zin in the first month, and the people stayed in Kadesh; and Miriam died there and was buried there.

vw@Numbers:20:4 @ Why have you brought up the assembly of Jehovah into this wilderness, that we and our cattle should die here?

vw@Numbers:20:5 @ And why have you brought us up out of Egypt, to bring us to this evil place? It is not a place of sowing or figs or vines or pomegranates; nor is there any water to drink.

vw@Numbers:20:10 @ And Moses and Aaron gathered the assembly together before the rock; and he said to them, Hear now, you rebels! Shall we bring water for you out of this rock?

vw@Numbers:20:11 @ And Moses lifted his hand and struck the rock twice with his staff; and water came out abundantly, and the congregation and their cattle drank.

vw@Numbers:20:12 @ And Jehovah spoke to Moses and Aaron, Because you did not believe Me, to sanctify Me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given to them.

vw@Numbers:20:13 @ These were the waters of Meribah, because the children of Israel strove with Jehovah, and He was sanctified among them.

vw@Numbers:20:14 @ And Moses sent messengers from Kadesh to the king of Edom. Thus says your brother Israel: You know all the hardship that has befallen us,

vw@Numbers:20:19 @ And the children of Israel said to him, We will go by the Highway, and if I or my livestock drink any of your water, then I will pay for it; let me only pass through on foot, without a word.

vw@Numbers:20:21 @ Thus Edom refused to give Israel passage through his territory; so Israel turned away from him.

vw@Numbers:20:22 @ And the children of Israel, the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh and came to Mount Hor.

vw@Numbers:20:24 @ Aaron shall be gathered to his people, for he shall not enter the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled against My mouth at the waters of Meribah.

vw@Numbers:20:25 @ Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor;

vw@Numbers:20:26 @ and strip Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar his son; for Aaron shall be gathered to his people and die there.

vw@Numbers:20:28 @ Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mountain. And Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

vw@Numbers:20:29 @ And when all the congregation saw that Aaron had died, all the house of Israel mourned for Aaron thirty days.

vw@Numbers:21:1 @ And when King Arad, the Canaanite who dwelt in the south, heard that Israel was coming on the way to Atharim, he fought against Israel and took some of them captive.

vw@Numbers:21:2 @ And Israel vowed a vow unto Jehovah, and said, If You will grant to deliver this people into my hand, then I will utterly destroy their cities.

vw@Numbers:21:3 @ And Jehovah heard the voice of Israel and delivered up the Canaanites, and they utterly destroyed them and their cities. So the name of that place was called Hormah.

vw@Numbers:21:5 @ And the people spoke against God and against Moses: Why have you brought us up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? For there is no food and no water, and our soul loathes this worthless bread.

vw@Numbers:21:6 @ And Jehovah sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit the people; and many of the people of Israel died.

vw@Numbers:21:8 @ And Jehovah said to Moses, Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a pole; and it shall be that anyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.

vw@Numbers:21:10 @ And the children of Israel set out and encamped in Oboth.

vw@Numbers:21:11 @ And they journeyed from Oboth and camped at Ije Abarim, in the wilderness which is before Moab, toward the sunrise.

vw@Numbers:21:13 @ From there they set out and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that extends from the border of the Amorites; for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.

vw@Numbers:21:14 @ Therefore it is said in the Book of the Wars of Jehovah: Waheb in Suphah, the brooks of the Arnon,

vw@Numbers:21:16 @ From there they went to Beer, which is the well where Jehovah said to Moses, Gather the people together, and I will give them water.

vw@Numbers:21:17 @ Then Israel sang this song: Spring up, O well! All of you sing to it;

vw@Numbers:21:20 @ and from Bamoth, in the valley that is in the land of Moab, to the top of Pisgah which looks down and faces the wilderness.

vw@Numbers:21:21 @ And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, saying,

vw@Numbers:21:23 @ But Sihon would not allow Israel to pass through his territory. And Sihon gathered all his people together and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and he came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.

vw@Numbers:21:24 @ And Israel struck him with the edge of the sword, and took possession of his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the children of Ammon; for the border of the children of Ammon was strong.

vw@Numbers:21:25 @ And Israel took all these cities, and Israel dwelt in all the cities of the Amorites, in Heshbon and in all its villages.

vw@Numbers:21:26 @ For Heshbon was the city of Sihon king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab, and had taken all his land from his hand as far as the Arnon.

vw@Numbers:21:29 @ Woe to you, Moab! You have perished, O people of Chemosh! He has given his sons as fugitives, and his daughters into captivity, to Sihon king of the Amorites.

vw@Numbers:21:30 @ But we have shot at them; Heshbon has perished as far as Dibon; and we laid waste as far as Nophah, which reaches to Medeba.

vw@Numbers:21:31 @ Thus Israel dwelt in the land of the Amorites.

vw@Numbers:21:33 @ And they turned and went up by the way to Bashan. So Og king of Bashan went out against them, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

vw@Numbers:21:34 @ And Jehovah said to Moses, Do not fear him, for I have delivered him into your hand, with all his people and his land; and you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.

vw@Numbers:21:35 @ So they struck him, his sons, and all his people, until there was no survivor left; and they took possession of his land.

vw@Numbers:22:1 @ And the children of Israel set out, and encamped in the plains of Moab beyond the Jordan across from Jericho.

vw@Numbers:22:2 @ Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites.

vw@Numbers:22:3 @ And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were many, and Moab was sick with dread because of the presence of the children of Israel.

vw@Numbers:22:4 @ And Moab said to the elders of Midian, Now this company will lick up everything around us, as an ox licks up the grass of the field. And Balak the son of Zippor was king of the Moabites at that time.

vw@Numbers:22:5 @ And he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor at Pethor, which is near the River in the land of the sons of his people, to summon him, saying: Behold, a people has come from Egypt. Behold, they cover the eye of the earth, and are staying next to me!

vw@Numbers:22:6 @ Therefore please come, curse this people for me, for they are too mighty for me. Perhaps I shall prevail and strike them and drive them out of the land, for I have perceived that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed.

vw@Numbers:22:13 @ And Balaam arose in the morning and said to the rulers of Balak, Go back to your land, for Jehovah has refused to give me permission to go with you.

vw@Numbers:22:17 @ for I will honor you with great honor, and I will do whatever you say to me. Therefore please come, curse this people for me.

vw@Numbers:22:18 @ And Balaam answered and said to the servants of Balak, Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not go beyond the mouth of Jehovah my God, to do less or more.

vw@Numbers:22:20 @ And God came to Balaam at night and said to him, If the men have come to summon you, arise and go with them; but only the word which I speak to you, that you shall do.

vw@Numbers:22:21 @ And Balaam arose in the morning, saddled his donkey, and went with the rulers of Moab.

vw@Numbers:22:22 @ And God’s anger burned because he went, and the Angel of Jehovah stationed Himself in the way as an adversary against him. And he was riding on his donkey, and his two servants with him.

vw@Numbers:22:23 @ And the donkey saw the Angel of Jehovah standing in the way with His sword drawn in His hand, and the donkey turned aside out of the way and went into the field. So Balaam struck the donkey to turn her back onto the road.

vw@Numbers:22:24 @ And the Angel of Jehovah stood in a narrow path of the vineyards, with a wall on this side and a wall on that side.

vw@Numbers:22:27 @ And when the donkey saw the Angel of Jehovah, she lay down under Balaam; and Balaam’s anger burned, and he struck the donkey with his staff.

vw@Numbers:22:29 @ And Balaam said to the donkey, Because you have been cruel to me. I wish there were a sword in my hand, for now I would kill you!

vw@Numbers:22:30 @ And the donkey said to Balaam, Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden, ever since I became yours, to this day? Has it ever been my habit to do this to you? And he said, No.

vw@Numbers:22:31 @ Then Jehovah opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the Angel of Jehovah standing in the way with His sword drawn in His hand; and he bowed down and prostrated himself on his face.

vw@Numbers:22:32 @ And the Angel of Jehovah said to him, Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out as an adversary against you, because your way is perverse before Me.

vw@Numbers:22:34 @ And Balaam said to the Angel of Jehovah, I have sinned, for I did not know You were standing in the way against me. Now therefore, if it has been displeasing to Your eye, I will turn back.

vw@Numbers:22:36 @ And when Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him at the city of Moab, which is in the territory at the Arnon, at the border of the territory.

vw@Numbers:23:6 @ And he returned to him, and lo, he was standing by his burnt offering, he and all the rulers of Moab.

vw@Numbers:23:7 @ And he took up his parable and said: Balak the king of Moab has brought me from Aram, from the mountains of the east, saying, Come, curse Jacob for me; and come, denounce Israel!

vw@Numbers:23:10 @ Who can count the dust of Jacob, or number one-fourth of Israel? Let my soul die the death of the righteous, and let my end be like his!

vw@Numbers:23:14 @ And he brought him to the field of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and built seven altars, and offered a bull and a ram on each altar.

vw@Numbers:23:16 @ And Jehovah met Balaam, and put a word in his mouth, and said, Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak.

vw@Numbers:23:17 @ And he came to him, and lo, he was standing by his burnt offering, and the rulers of Moab were with him. And Balak said to him, What has Jehovah spoken?

vw@Numbers:23:18 @ And he took up his parable and said: Rise up, Balak, and hear! Listen to me, son of Zippor!

vw@Numbers:23:19 @ The Mighty God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should be sorry. Has He said, and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?

vw@Numbers:23:21 @ He has not observed trouble in Jacob, nor has He seen toil in Israel. Jehovah his God is with him, and the shout of a King is among them.

vw@Numbers:23:22 @ The Mighty God who brings them out of Egypt is like the lofty horns of an oryx.

vw@Numbers:23:23 @ For there is no omen against Jacob, nor any divination against Israel. It now must be said of Jacob and of Israel, Oh, what the Mighty God has done!

vw@Numbers:23:24 @ Behold, the people rise like a lioness, and lifts itself up like a lion; it shall not lie down until it devours the prey, and drinks the blood of the slain.

vw@Numbers:24:1 @ Now when Balaam saw that it was good in the eyes of Jehovah to bless Israel, he did not go as at other times, to encounter an omen of divination, but he set his face toward the wilderness.

vw@Numbers:24:2 @ And Balaam raised his eyes, and saw Israel encamped according to their tribes; and the Spirit of God came upon him.

vw@Numbers:24:3 @ And he took up his parable and said: The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor, the utterance of the man whose eyes are opened,

vw@Numbers:24:4 @ the utterance of him who hears the Words of the Mighty God, who sees the vision of the Almighty, who falls down, with open eyes:

vw@Numbers:24:7 @ He makes water flow from his buckets, and his seed in many waters, his king is higher than Agag, and his kingdom is exalted.

vw@Numbers:24:8 @ The Mighty God is bringing him out of Egypt; he has lofty horns like an oryx; he shall consume the nations, his enemies; he shall break their bones and pierce them with his arrows.

vw@Numbers:24:9 @ He has crouched, he has lain down as a lion, and as a lioness; who shall arouse him? Blessed is he who blesses you, and cursed is he who curses you.

vw@Numbers:24:10 @ And Balak’s anger burned against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, I summoned you to curse my enemies, and behold, you have altogether blessed them these three times!

vw@Numbers:24:13 @ If Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the mouth of Jehovah, to do good or bad of my own heart; but what Jehovah speaks, that I will speak?

vw@Numbers:24:14 @ And now, behold, I am going to my people. Come, I will advise you what this people will do to your people in the latter days.

vw@Numbers:24:15 @ And he took up his parable and said, The utterance of Balaam the son of Beor, and the utterance of the man whose eyes are opened;

vw@Numbers:24:16 @ the utterance of him who hears the words of the Mighty God, and has the knowledge of the Most High, who sees the vision of the Almighty, who falls down, with open eyes:

vw@Numbers:24:17 @ I see Him, but not now; I behold Him, but not near; a Star shall come out of Jacob; a Scepter shall rise out of Israel, and shatter the extremities of Moab, and destroy all the seats of the sons of Seth.

vw@Numbers:24:18 @ And Edom shall be a possession; Seir also, his enemies, shall be a possession; and Israel shall do mightily.

vw@Numbers:24:20 @ Then he looked on Amalek, and he took up his parable and said: Amalek was first among the nations, but his end shall be everlasting destruction.

vw@Numbers:24:21 @ And he looked on the Kenites, and he took up his parable and said: Firm is your dwelling place, and your nest is set in the rock;

vw@Numbers:24:23 @ And he took up his parable and said: Alas! Who shall live when the Mighty God brings this to pass?

vw@Numbers:24:25 @ And Balaam arose and departed and returned to his place; and Balak also went his way.

vw@Numbers:25:1 @ And Israel remained in Shittim, and the people began to commit harlotry with the daughters of Moab.

vw@Numbers:25:3 @ And Israel was joined to Baal-peor, and the anger of Jehovah burned against Israel.

vw@Numbers:25:4 @ And Jehovah said to Moses, Take all the heads of the people and hang them before Jehovah in broad daylight, that the burning anger of Jehovah may be turned away from Israel.

vw@Numbers:25:5 @ And Moses said to the judges of Israel, Every one of you kill his men who were joined to Baal-peor.

vw@Numbers:25:6 @ And behold, one of the sons of Israel came and brought in to his brethren a Midianite woman before the eyes of Moses and before the eyes of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping at the door of the tent of meeting.

vw@Numbers:25:7 @ And when Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose up from among the congregation and took a javelin in his hand;

vw@Numbers:25:8 @ and he went after the man of Israel into the tent and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman, through her belly. Thus the plague was stopped from the children of Israel.

vw@Numbers:25:11 @ Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, has turned back My wrath from the children of Israel, because he was zealous with My zeal among them, so that I did not consume the children of Israel in My jealousy.

vw@Numbers:25:13 @ and it shall be to him and his seed after him a covenant of a perpetual priesthood, because he was zealous for his God, and made atonement for the children of Israel.

vw@Numbers:25:14 @ Now the name of the man of Israel who was killed, who was killed with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, a ruler of a father’s house of the Simeonites.

vw@Numbers:25:18 @ for they harassed you with their schemes by which they have beguiled you in the matter of Peor and in the matter of Cozbi, the daughter of a ruler of Midian, their sister, who was killed in the day of the plague because of the matter of Peor.

vw@Numbers:26:62 @ And those who were numbered of them were twenty-three thousand, every male from a month old and above; for they were not numbered among the other sons of Israel, because there was no inheritance given to them among the sons of Israel.

vw@Numbers:26:63 @ These are those who were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest, who numbered the sons of Israel in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho.

vw@Numbers:26:64 @ But among these there was not a man of those who were numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when they numbered the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai.

vw@Numbers:27:1 @ Then came the daughters of Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, from the families of Manasseh the son of Joseph; and these were the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

vw@Numbers:27:3 @ Our father died in the wilderness; but he was not in the company of those who gathered together against Jehovah, in company with Korah, but he died in his own sin; and he had no sons.

vw@Numbers:27:4 @ Why should the name of our father be removed from among his family because he had no son? Give us a possession among our father’s brothers.

vw@Numbers:27:7 @ The daughters of Zelophehad speak what is right. You shall assign to give them a possession of inheritance among their father’s brothers, and cause the inheritance of their father to pass to them.

vw@Numbers:27:8 @ And you shall speak to the children of Israel, saying: If a man dies and has no son, then you shall cause his inheritance to pass to his daughter.

vw@Numbers:27:9 @ If he has no daughter, then you shall give his inheritance to his brothers.

vw@Numbers:27:10 @ If he has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to his father’s brothers.

vw@Numbers:27:11 @ And if his father has no brothers, then you shall give his inheritance to the relative closest to him in his family, and he shall possess it. And it shall be to the children of Israel a statute of judgment, as Jehovah has commanded Moses.

vw@Numbers:27:12 @ And Jehovah said to Moses: Go up into this Mount Abarim, and see the land which I have given to the children of Israel.

vw@Numbers:27:18 @ And Jehovah said to Moses: Take Joshua the son of Nun, a man in whom is the Spirit, and lay your hand upon him;

vw@Numbers:27:19 @ make him stand before Eleazar the priest and before all the congregation, and commission him before their eyes.

vw@Numbers:27:23 @ And he laid his hands on him and commissioned him, as Jehovah had commanded by the hand of Moses.

vw@Numbers:28:2 @ Command the children of Israel, and say to them, My offering, My food for My offerings by fire as a soothing aroma unto Me, you shall take heed to offer to Me at their appointed times.

vw@Numbers:28:3 @ And you shall say to them, This is the offering by fire which you shall offer unto Jehovah: two male lambs of the first year that are whole, day by day, as a continual burnt offering.

vw@Numbers:28:6 @ It is the continual burnt offering which was ordained at Mount Sinai for a soothing aroma, an offering by fire unto Jehovah.

vw@Numbers:28:10 @ this is the burnt offering for every Sabbath, besides the continual burnt offering with its drink offering.

vw@Numbers:28:14 @ Their drink offerings shall be half a hin of wine for a bull, one-third of a hin for a ram, and one-fourth of a hin for a lamb; this is the burnt offering for each month throughout the months of the year.

vw@Numbers:28:16 @ On the fourteenth day of the first month is the Passover of Jehovah.

vw@Numbers:28:17 @ And on the fifteenth day of this month is the feast; unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days.

vw@Numbers:28:24 @ In this manner you shall offer the food of the offering by fire daily for seven days, as a soothing aroma unto Jehovah; it shall be offered besides the continual burnt offering and its drink offering.

vw@Numbers:29:1 @ And in the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you shall have a holy convocation. You shall do no labor of work. It is a day of shouting with trumpet blasts to you.

vw@Numbers:29:7 @ On the tenth day of this seventh month you shall have a holy convocation. You shall afflict your souls; you shall not do any work.

vw@Numbers:29:40 @ Thus Moses said to the children of Israel, according to all that Jehovah had commanded Moses.

vw@Numbers:30:1 @ And Moses spoke to the heads of the tribes of the children of Israel, saying, This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded:

vw@Numbers:30:2 @ If a man vows a vow unto Jehovah, or swears an oath to bind his soul to a bond, he shall not break his word; he shall do according to all that proceeds out of his mouth.

vw@Numbers:30:5 @ But if her father has disallowed her on the day that he hears, then none of her vows nor her bonds by which she has bound her soul shall stand; and Jehovah will forgive her, because her father has disallowed her.

vw@Numbers:30:8 @ But if her husband disallows her on the day that he hears it, he has made void her vow which she uttered with her lips, with which she bound her soul; and Jehovah will forgive her.

vw@Numbers:30:11 @ and her husband has heard it, and kept silent to her and has not disallowed her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond by which she has bound her soul has been confirmed.

vw@Numbers:30:12 @ But if her husband disallows, to void them on the day he hears them, then whatever proceeded from her lips concerning her vows or concerning the bond of her soul shall not stand; her husband has made them void; and Jehovah will forgive her.

vw@Numbers:30:14 @ But if her husband is silent and says nothing to her from day to day, then he has confirmed all her vows or all the bonds that are upon her; he has confirmed them, because he has remained silent to her on the day that he heard them.

vw@Numbers:30:15 @ And if he does disallow, to make them void after he has heard them, then he has taken on her guilt.

vw@Numbers:30:16 @ These are the statutes which Jehovah has commanded Moses, between a man and his wife, and between a father and his daughter in her youth in her father’s house.

vw@Numbers:31:2 @ Execute vengeance on the Midianites for the children of Israel. Afterward you shall be gathered to your people.

vw@Numbers:31:4 @ A thousand from each tribe of all the tribes of Israel you shall send to the war.

vw@Numbers:31:5 @ So there were assigned from the thousands of Israel one thousand from each tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.

vw@Numbers:31:6 @ And Moses sent them to the war, one thousand from each tribe; he sent them to the war with Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, with the holy vessels and the signal trumpets in his hand.

vw@Numbers:31:9 @ And the sons of Israel took the women of Midian captive, with their little ones, and took as spoils all their cattle, all their flocks, and all their wealth.

vw@Numbers:31:12 @ And they brought the captives, the booty, and the spoils to Moses, to Eleazar the priest, and to the congregation of the children of Israel, to the camp in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho.

vw@Numbers:31:16 @ Behold, these women caused the sons of Israel, through the counsel of Balaam, to trespass against Jehovah in the matter of Peor, and there was a plague among the congregation of Jehovah.

vw@Numbers:31:21 @ And Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who went to the battle, This is the ordinance of the law which Jehovah has commanded Moses:

vw@Numbers:31:30 @ And from the children of Israel’s half you shall take one of every fifty, of man, from the cattle, the donkeys, and the sheep, from all the livestock; and give them to the Levites who keep charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah.

vw@Numbers:31:42 @ And from the children of Israel’s half, which Moses divided from the men who went to war:

vw@Numbers:31:47 @ From the children of Israel’s half Moses took one of every fifty, from man and beast, and gave them to the Levites, who kept charge of the tabernacle of Jehovah, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

vw@Numbers:31:49 @ and they said to Moses, Your servants have taken a head count of the men of war who are under our hand, and not a man of us is missing.

vw@Numbers:31:54 @ And Moses and Eleazar the priest received the gold from the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and brought it into the tent of meeting as a memorial for the children of Israel before Jehovah.

vw@Numbers:32:4 @ the land which Jehovah has struck before the congregation of Israel, is a land for livestock, and your servants have livestock.

vw@Numbers:32:5 @ Therefore they said, If we have found favor in your eyes, let this land be given to your servants as a possession. Do not cause us to pass over the Jordan.

vw@Numbers:32:7 @ Now why will you discourage the heart of the children of Israel from going over into the land which Jehovah has given them?

vw@Numbers:32:9 @ For when they went up to the Valley of Eshcol and saw the land, they discouraged the heart of the children of Israel, so that they did not go into the land which Jehovah had given them.

vw@Numbers:32:11 @ Surely none of the men who came up from Egypt, from twenty years old and above, shall see the land of which I swore to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, because they have not wholly followed Me,

vw@Numbers:32:13 @ And the anger of Jehovah burned against Israel, and He made them wander in the wilderness forty years, until all the generation that had done evil in the eyes of Jehovah was destroyed.

vw@Numbers:32:14 @ And behold, you have risen up in your fathers’ place, a brood of sinful men, to add still more to the burning anger of Jehovah against Israel.

vw@Numbers:32:15 @ For if you turn away from following Him, He will once again leave them in the wilderness, and you shall have destroyed all this people.

vw@Numbers:32:17 @ but we ourselves will be armed, ready to go before the children of Israel until we have brought them to their place; and our little ones shall dwell in the fortified cities because of the inhabitants of the land.

vw@Numbers:32:18 @ We will not return to our homes until every one of the sons of Israel has received his inheritance.

vw@Numbers:32:19 @ For we will not inherit with them on the other side of the Jordan and beyond, because our inheritance has fallen to us on this eastern side of the Jordan.

vw@Numbers:32:20 @ And Moses said to them: If you do this thing, if you arm yourselves before Jehovah for war,

vw@Numbers:32:21 @ and you all cross over the Jordan armed before Jehovah until He has driven out His enemies before Him,

vw@Numbers:32:22 @ and the land is subdued before Jehovah, then afterward you may return and be blameless before Jehovah and before Israel; and this land shall be your possession before Jehovah.

vw@Numbers:32:28 @ So Moses gave command concerning them to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the chief fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel.

vw@Numbers:32:29 @ And Moses said to them: If the sons of Gad and the sons of Reuben cross over the Jordan with you, every man armed for battle before Jehovah, and the land is subdued before you, then you shall give them the land of Gilead as a possession.

vw@Numbers:32:32 @ We will cross over armed before Jehovah into the land of Canaan, but the possession of our inheritance shall remain with us on this side of the Jordan.

vw@Numbers:32:39 @ And the sons of Machir the son of Manasseh went to Gilead and captured it, and dispossessed the Amorites who were in it.

vw@Numbers:32:42 @ And Nobah went and captured Kenath and its villages, and he called it Nobah, after his own name.

vw@Numbers:33:1 @ These are the journeys of the children of Israel, who went out of the land of Egypt by their armies under the hand of Moses and Aaron.

vw@Numbers:33:3 @ They set out from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the day after the Passover the children of Israel went out with a high hand before the eyes of all the Egyptians.

vw@Numbers:33:5 @ And the children of Israel set out from Rameses and camped at Succoth.

vw@Numbers:33:6 @ They set out from Succoth and camped at Etham, which is on the edge of the wilderness.

vw@Numbers:33:21 @ They set out from Libnah and camped at Rissah.

vw@Numbers:33:22 @ They set out from Rissah and camped at Kehelathah.

vw@Numbers:33:36 @ They set out from Ezion Geber and camped in the wilderness of Zin, which is Kadesh.

vw@Numbers:33:38 @ And Aaron the priest went up to Mount Hor at the mouth of Jehovah, and died there in the fortieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, on the first day of the fifth month.

vw@Numbers:33:40 @ And the king of Arad, the Canaanite, who dwelt in the south in the land of Canaan, heard of the coming of the children of Israel.

vw@Numbers:33:51 @ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When you have crossed the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

vw@Numbers:33:53 @ you shall dispossess the inhabitants of the land and dwell in it, for I have given you the land to possess.

vw@Numbers:33:55 @ But if you do not drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, then it shall be that those whom you let remain shall be thorns in your eyes and pricks in your sides, and they shall distress you in the land where you dwell.

vw@Numbers:34:2 @ Command the children of Israel, and say to them: When you come into the land of Canaan, this is the land that shall fall to you as an inheritance; the land of Canaan to its borders.

vw@Numbers:34:6 @ As for the western border, you shall have the Great Sea for a border; this shall be your western border.

vw@Numbers:34:7 @ And this shall be your northern border: From the Great Sea you shall mark out to Mount Hor;

vw@Numbers:34:9 @ the border shall proceed to Ziphron, and it shall end at Hazar Enan. This shall be your northern border.

vw@Numbers:34:12 @ the border shall go down along the Jordan, and it shall end at the Salt Sea. This shall be your land with its surrounding borders.

vw@Numbers:34:13 @ And Moses commanded the children of Israel, saying: This is the land which you shall inherit by lot, which Jehovah has commanded to give to the nine tribes and to the half-tribe.

vw@Numbers:34:15 @ The two tribes and the half-tribe have received their inheritance on the other side of the Jordan, across from Jericho eastward, toward the sunrise.

vw@Numbers:34:21 @ from the tribe of Benjamin, Elidad the son of Chislon;

vw@Numbers:34:26 @ the leader from the tribe of the children of Issachar, Paltiel the son of Azzan;

vw@Numbers:34:29 @ These are the ones Jehovah has commanded to divide the inheritance unto the children of Israel in the land of Canaan.

vw@Numbers:35:2 @ Command the children of Israel that they give the Levites cities to dwell in from the inheritance of their possessions, and you shall also give the Levites common land around the cities.

vw@Numbers:35:5 @ And you shall measure outside the city on the east side two thousand cubits, on the south side two thousand cubits, on the west side two thousand cubits, and on the north side two thousand cubits. The city shall be in the middle. This shall be to them as common land for the cities.

vw@Numbers:35:8 @ And the cities which you shall give shall be from the possession of the children of Israel; from the larger tribe you shall give many, from the smaller you shall give few. Each shall give some of its cities to the Levites, according to the inheritance that each receives.

vw@Numbers:35:10 @ Speak to the children of Israel, and say to them: When you cross the Jordan into the land of Canaan,

vw@Numbers:35:14 @ You shall appoint three cities on this side of the Jordan, and three cities you shall appoint in the land of Canaan, which shall be cities of refuge.

vw@Numbers:35:15 @ These six cities shall be for refuge for the children of Israel, for the stranger, and for the sojourner among them, that anyone who kills a soul accidentally may flee there.

vw@Numbers:35:17 @ And if he strikes him with a stone in the hand, by which one could die, and he dies, he is a murderer; the murderer shall be executed to death.

vw@Numbers:35:18 @ Or if he strikes him with a wooden implement in the hand, by which one could die, and he dies, he is a murderer; the murderer shall be executed to death.

vw@Numbers:35:21 @ or in enmity he has struck him with his hand so that he dies, the one who struck him shall be executed to death. He is a murderer. The kinsman avenger of blood shall put the murderer to death when he meets him.

vw@Numbers:35:23 @ or a stone, by which a man could die, which falls on him without seeing him, so that he dies, while he was not his enemy or seeking his harm;

vw@Numbers:35:27 @ and the kinsman avenger of blood finds him outside the borders of his city of refuge, and the kinsman avenger of blood kills the manslayer, he shall not be guilty of blood,

vw@Numbers:35:28 @ because he should have remained in his city of refuge until the death of the high priest. But after the death of the high priest the manslayer shall return to the land of his possession.

vw@Numbers:35:31 @ Moreover you shall take no ransom for the soul of a murderer who is guilty of death, but he shall be executed to death.

vw@Numbers:35:32 @ And you shall take no ransom for him to flee to his city of refuge, to return to dwell in the land until the death of the priest.

vw@Numbers:35:33 @ Thus you shall not pollute the land where you are; for blood pollutes the land. And no atonement can be made for the land, for the blood that is shed on it, except by the blood of him who sheds it.

vw@Numbers:35:34 @ Therefore do not defile the land which you inhabit, in the midst of which I dwell; for I, Jehovah, dwell among the children of Israel.

vw@Numbers:36:1 @ Now the chief fathers of the families of the children of Gilead the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came near and spoke before Moses and before the leaders, the chief fathers of the children of Israel.

vw@Numbers:36:2 @ And they said: Jehovah commanded my lord Moses to give the land as an inheritance by lot to the children of Israel, and my lord was commanded by Jehovah to give the inheritance of our brother Zelophehad to his daughters.

vw@Numbers:36:3 @ Now if they are married to any of the sons of the other tribes of the children of Israel, then their inheritance will be taken from the inheritance of our fathers, and it will be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry; so it will be taken from the lot of our inheritance.

vw@Numbers:36:4 @ And when the Jubilee of the children of Israel comes, then their inheritance will be added to the inheritance of the tribe into which they marry; so their inheritance will be taken away from the inheritance of the tribe of our fathers.

vw@Numbers:36:5 @ And Moses commanded the children of Israel at the mouth of Jehovah, saying: What the tribe of the sons of Joseph speaks is right.

vw@Numbers:36:6 @ This is the thing which Jehovah has commanded concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, saying, Let them marry whoever is good in their eyes, but they shall marry only within the family of the tribe of their father.

vw@Numbers:36:7 @ Thus the inheritance of the children of Israel shall not turn about from tribe to tribe; for every one of the children of Israel shall keep the inheritance of the tribe of his fathers.

vw@Numbers:36:8 @ And every daughter who possesses an inheritance in any tribe of the children of Israel shall be the wife of one of the family of her father’s tribe, so that the children of Israel each may possess the inheritance of his fathers.

vw@Numbers:36:9 @ Thus no inheritance shall turn about from one tribe to another tribe, but every tribe of the children of Israel shall cling to its own inheritance.

vw@Numbers:36:13 @ These are the commandments and the judgments which Jehovah commanded the children of Israel by the hand of Moses in the plains of Moab by the Jordan, across from Jericho.

vw@Deuteronomy:1:1 @ These are the words which Moses spoke to all Israel on this side of the Jordan in the wilderness, in the plain opposite Suph, between Paran, Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

vw@Deuteronomy:1:3 @ And it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first of the month, that Moses spoke to the children of Israel according to all that Jehovah had given him commandment concerning them,

vw@Deuteronomy:1:5 @ On this side of the Jordan in the land of Moab, Moses began to explain this Law, saying,

vw@Deuteronomy:1:6 @ Jehovah our God spoke to us in Horeb, saying: You have dwelt long enough at this mountain.

vw@Deuteronomy:1:8 @ Behold, I have set the land before you; go in and possess the land which Jehovah has sworn to your fathers; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; to give to them and their seed after them.

vw@Deuteronomy:1:11 @ May Jehovah the God of your fathers, make you a thousand times more than you are, and bless you as He has promised you!

vw@Deuteronomy:1:12 @ How can I alone bear your burdens and your loads and your disputes?

vw@Deuteronomy:1:13 @ Choose wise, understanding, and knowledgeable men from among your tribes, and I will make them heads over you.

vw@Deuteronomy:1:14 @ And you answered me and said, The thing which you have spoken to us is good to do.

vw@Deuteronomy:1:15 @ So I took the heads of your tribes, wise and knowledgeable men, and made them heads over you, rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, rulers of tens, and officials for your tribes.

vw@Deuteronomy:1:16 @ And I commanded your judges at that time, saying, Hear the cases between your brethren, and judge righteously between a man and his brother or the sojourner.

vw@Deuteronomy:1:17 @ You shall not show partiality in judgment; you shall hear the small as well as the great; you shall not be afraid of any man’s presence, for the judgment is God’s. And any matter that is too hard for you, bring to me, and I will hear it.

vw@Deuteronomy:1:20 @ And I said to you, You have come to the mountains of the Amorites, which Jehovah our God is giving to us.

vw@Deuteronomy:1:21 @ Behold, Jehovah your God has set the land before you; go up and possess it, as Jehovah the God of your fathers has spoken to you; do not fear or be dismayed.

vw@Deuteronomy:1:25 @ They also took some of the fruit of the land in their hands and brought it down to us; and they brought back word to us, saying, It is a good land which Jehovah our God is giving to us.

vw@Deuteronomy:1:31 @ and in the wilderness where you have seen how Jehovah your God has carried you, as a man carries his son, in all the way that you went until you came to this place.

vw@Deuteronomy:1:35 @ Not one of these men of this evil generation shall see that good land which I have sworn to give to your fathers,

vw@Deuteronomy:1:36 @ except Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him and his children I am giving the land upon which he has walked, because he has wholly followed Jehovah.

vw@Deuteronomy:1:38 @ Joshua the son of Nun, who stands before you, he shall go in there. Encourage him, for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.

vw@Deuteronomy:1:41 @ Then you answered and said to me, We have sinned against Jehovah; we will go up and fight, just as Jehovah our God commanded us. And each of you girded on his weapons of war, and were ready to go up into the mountain.

vw@Deuteronomy:1:43 @ So I spoke to you; yet you would not listen, but rebelled against the mouth of Jehovah, and presumptuously went up into the mountain.

vw@Deuteronomy:1:45 @ And you returned and wept before Jehovah, but Jehovah would not listen to your voice nor give ear to you.

vw@Deuteronomy:2:3 @ You have circled around this mountain long enough; turn northward.

vw@Deuteronomy:2:7 @ For Jehovah your God has blessed you in all the works of your hands. He has known your walking through this great wilderness. These forty years Jehovah your God has been with you; you have lacked nothing.

vw@Deuteronomy:2:12 @ The Horites formerly dwelt in Seir, but the sons of Esau dispossessed them and destroyed them from before them, and dwelt in their place, just as Israel has done to the land of their possession which Jehovah has given them.)

vw@Deuteronomy:2:13 @ Now rise up and cross over the valley of the Zered. So we crossed over the valley of the Zered.

vw@Deuteronomy:2:14 @ And the time that passed from Kadesh Barnea until we had crossed over the valley of the Zered was thirty-eight years, for all the generation of the men of war to be finished off from the midst of the camp, as Jehovah had sworn to them.

vw@Deuteronomy:2:16 @ So it was, when all the men of war had completely perished from among the people,

vw@Deuteronomy:2:18 @ This day you are crossing over at Ar, the border of Moab.

vw@Deuteronomy:2:21 @ a people as great and numerous and tall as the Anakim. But Jehovah destroyed them before them, and they dispossessed them and dwelt in their place,

vw@Deuteronomy:2:22 @ just as He had done for the sons of Esau, who dwelt in Seir, when He destroyed the Horites from before them. They dispossessed them and dwelt in their place, even to this day.

vw@Deuteronomy:2:24 @ Rise up, set out, and cross over the river Arnon. Behold, I have given into your hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and his land. Begin to possess it, and engage him in battle.

vw@Deuteronomy:2:25 @ This day I will begin to put the dread and terror of you upon the faces of the peoples under all the heavens, who shall hear the report of you, and shall tremble and writhe because of you.

vw@Deuteronomy:2:29 @ just as the sons of Esau who dwell in Seir and the Moabites who dwell in Ar did for me, until I cross the Jordan to the land which Jehovah our God is giving to us.

vw@Deuteronomy:2:30 @ But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass through; for Jehovah your God had made his spirit stubborn and hardened his heart, that He might deliver him into your hand, as it is this day.

vw@Deuteronomy:2:31 @ And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I have begun to set Sihon and his land before you. Begin to possess it, that you may inherit his land.

vw@Deuteronomy:2:32 @ And Sihon and all his people came out against us to do battle at Jahaz.

vw@Deuteronomy:2:33 @ And Jehovah our God delivered him up before us; and we struck him, his sons, and all his people.

vw@Deuteronomy:2:34 @ We took all his cities at that time, and we utterly destroyed the men, women, and little ones of every city; we left none remaining.

vw@Deuteronomy:2:36 @ From Aroer, which is beside the River Arnon, and from the city that is in the valley, as far as Gilead, there was not one city too strong for us; Jehovah our God delivered up all before us.

vw@Deuteronomy:3:1 @ Then we turned and went up the way to Bashan; and Og king of Bashan came out against us, he and all his people, to battle at Edrei.

vw@Deuteronomy:3:2 @ And Jehovah said to me, Do not fear him, for I have delivered him and all his people and his land into your hand; you shall do to him as you did to Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon.

vw@Deuteronomy:3:3 @ So Jehovah our God also delivered into our hands Og king of Bashan, with all his people, and we struck him until he had no survivors remaining.

vw@Deuteronomy:3:4 @ And we took all his cities at that time; there was not a city which we did not take from them: sixty cities, all the region of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan.

vw@Deuteronomy:3:11 @ For only Og king of Bashan remained of the remnant of the giants. Behold, his bedstead was an iron bedstead (Is it not in Rabbah of the children of Ammon.): Nine cubits its length and four cubits its width, according to the cubit of a man.

vw@Deuteronomy:3:12 @ And this land, which we possessed at that time, from Aroer by the River Arnon, and half the mountains of Gilead and its cities, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites.

vw@Deuteronomy:3:14 @ Jair the son of Manasseh took all the region of Argob, as far as the border of the Geshurites and the Maachathites, and called Bashan after his own name, Havoth Jair, to this day.)

vw@Deuteronomy:3:17 @ the plain also, with the Jordan as the border, from Chinnereth as far as the east side of the sea of the plain (the Salt Sea), below the slopes of Pisgah.

vw@Deuteronomy:3:18 @ Then I commanded you at that time, saying: Jehovah your God has given you this land to possess. All your men of war shall cross over armed before your brethren, the children of Israel.

vw@Deuteronomy:3:20 @ until Jehovah has given rest to your brethren as He has to you, and they also possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving to them beyond the Jordan. Then each of you shall return to his possession which I have given to you.

vw@Deuteronomy:3:24 @ O Lord Jehovah, You have begun to show Your servant Your greatness and Your mighty hand, for what god is there in the heavens or on earth who can do according to Your works and Your might?

vw@Deuteronomy:3:26 @ But Jehovah was angry with me on your account, and would not listen to me. And Jehovah said to me: Enough from you! Speak no more to Me of this matter.

vw@Deuteronomy:3:27 @ Go up to the top of Pisgah, and lift up your eyes toward the west, the north, the south, and the east; behold it with your eyes, for you shall not cross over this Jordan.

vw@Deuteronomy:3:28 @ But commission Joshua, and encourage him and make him bold; for he shall go over before this people, and he shall cause them to inherit the land which you shall see.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:1 @ Now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the judgments which I am teaching you to do, that you may live, and go in and possess the land which Jehovah the God of your fathers is giving to you.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:6 @ Keep and do them; for this is your wisdom and your understanding in the eyes of the peoples who will hear all these statutes, and say, Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:7 @ For what great nation is there whose God is near to it, as Jehovah our God is to us, in all that we call upon Him?

vw@Deuteronomy:4:8 @ And what great nation is there that has such statutes and righteous judgments as are in all this Law which I am setting before you this day?

vw@Deuteronomy:4:13 @ Thus He declared to you His covenant which He commanded you to do, the Ten Commandments; and He wrote them on two tablets of stone.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:18 @ the figure of anything that creeps on the ground or the figure of any fish that is in the waters beneath the earth.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:20 @ But Jehovah has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be His people, an inheritance, as you are this day.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:21 @ Furthermore Jehovah was angry with me on account of your words, and swore that I would not cross over the Jordan, and that I would not enter the good land which Jehovah your God is giving to you as an inheritance.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:22 @ But I shall die in this land, I shall not cross over the Jordan; but you shall cross over and possess that good land.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:24 @ For Jehovah your God is a consuming fire, a jealous Mighty God.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:26 @ I call the heavens and the earth to witness against you this day, that you shall quickly die and perish from off the land which you are crossing over the Jordan to possess; you shall not prolong your days in it, but shall be destroyed to annihilation.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:30 @ When you are in distress, and all these things have come upon you in the latter days; then when you have returned unto Jehovah your God and have obeyed His voice

vw@Deuteronomy:4:31 @ (for Jehovah your God is a merciful Mighty God), He will not forsake you nor destroy you, nor forget the covenant of your fathers which He has sworn unto them.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:32 @ For ask now concerning the former days, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask from one end of the heavens to the other, whether any great thing like this has happened, or anything like it has been heard.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:35 @ To you it has been shown, that you might know that Jehovah Himself is God; there is no one else besides Him.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:36 @ Out of the heavens He has caused you to hear His voice, to instruct you; on earth He has shown you His great fire, and you have heard His Words out of the midst of the fire.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:37 @ And because He has loved your fathers, therefore He chose their seed after them and brought you out of Egypt before Him with His mighty power,

vw@Deuteronomy:4:38 @ to drive out before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land as an inheritance, as it is this day.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:39 @ Therefore know this day, and consider it in your heart, that Jehovah Himself is God in the heavens above and on the earth beneath; there is no other.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:40 @ You shall therefore keep His statutes and His commandments which I am commanding you today, that it may be well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land which Jehovah your God is giving you for all time.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:41 @ Then Moses set apart three cities on this side of the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun,

vw@Deuteronomy:4:42 @ that the manslayer might flee there, who kills his neighbor unintentionally, without having hated him in time past, and that by fleeing to one of these cities he might live:

vw@Deuteronomy:4:44 @ Now this is the Law which Moses set before the children of Israel.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:45 @ These are the testimonies, the statutes, and the judgments which Moses spoke to the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt,

vw@Deuteronomy:4:46 @ across the Jordan, in the valley opposite Beth Peor, in the land of Sihon king of the Amorites, who dwelt at Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel struck when they came out of Egypt.

vw@Deuteronomy:4:47 @ And they took possession of his land and the land of Og king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who were across the Jordan, toward the rising of the sun,

vw@Deuteronomy:5:3 @ Jehovah did not make this covenant with our fathers, but with us, all those of us who are alive here today.

vw@Deuteronomy:5:9 @ you shall not bow down to them nor serve them; for I, Jehovah your God, am a jealous Mighty God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the sons to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,

vw@Deuteronomy:5:11 @ You shall not take the name of Jehovah your God in vain, for Jehovah will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.

vw@Deuteronomy:5:14 @ but the seventh day is the Sabbath of Jehovah your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your ox, nor your donkey, nor any of your cattle, nor your sojourner who is within your gates, that your male servant and your female servant may rest as well as you.

vw@Deuteronomy:5:16 @ Honor your father and your mother, as Jehovah your God has commanded you, that your days may be prolonged, and that it may be well with you in the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you.

vw@Deuteronomy:5:21 @ You shall not desire your neighbor’s wife; and you shall not covet your neighbor’s house, his field, his male servant, his female servant, his ox, his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.

vw@Deuteronomy:5:24 @ And you said, Behold, Jehovah our God has shown us His glory and His greatness, and we have heard His voice from the midst of the fire. We have seen this day that God speaks with man, yet he lives.

vw@Deuteronomy:5:25 @ Now therefore, why should we die? For this great fire will consume us; if we hear the voice of Jehovah our God anymore, then we shall die!

vw@Deuteronomy:5:26 @ For who is there of all flesh who has heard the voice of the living God speaking from the midst of the fire, as we have, and lived?

vw@Deuteronomy:5:28 @ And Jehovah heard the voice of your words when you spoke to me, and Jehovah said to me: I have heard the voice of the words of this people which they have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken.

vw@Deuteronomy:5:29 @ Oh, that this heart of theirs would be fully yielded, to fear Me and to keep all My commandments at all times, that it might be well with them and with their children forever!

vw@Deuteronomy:6:2 @ that you may fear Jehovah your God, to keep all His statutes and His commandments which I am commanding you, you and your sons and your grandsons, all the days of your life, and that your days may be prolonged.

vw@Deuteronomy:6:13 @ You shall fear Jehovah your God and serve Him, and swear by His name.

vw@Deuteronomy:6:15 @ (for Jehovah your God is a jealous Mighty God among you), lest the anger of Jehovah your God burn against you and destroy you from off the face of the earth.

vw@Deuteronomy:6:17 @ You shall take heed to keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, His testimonies, and His statutes which He has commanded you.

vw@Deuteronomy:6:18 @ And you shall do what is right and good in the eyes of Jehovah, that it may be well with you, and that you may go in and possess the good land of which Jehovah has sworn to your fathers,

vw@Deuteronomy:6:22 @ and Jehovah gave signs and wonders before our eyes, great and severe, against Egypt, Pharaoh, and all his house.

vw@Deuteronomy:6:24 @ And Jehovah commanded us to do all these statutes, to fear Jehovah our God, for our good always, to preserve us alive, as it is this day.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:7 @ Jehovah did not set His love upon you nor choose you because you were more in number than any other people, for you were the least of all peoples;

vw@Deuteronomy:7:15 @ And Jehovah will take away from you all sickness, and will afflict you with none of the terrible diseases of Egypt which you have known, but will lay them on all those who hate you.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:16 @ And you shall destroy all the peoples whom Jehovah your God is delivering over to you; your eye shall have no pity on them; nor shall you serve their gods, for that would be a snare to you.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:17 @ If you should think in your heart, These nations are greater than I; how can I dispossess them?

vw@Deuteronomy:7:20 @ Moreover Jehovah your God will send the hornet among them, for those who are left, who hide themselves from your face, to perish.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:21 @ You shall not be terrified of them; for Jehovah your God, the great and awesome Mighty God, is among you.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:25 @ You shall burn the graven images of their gods with fire; you shall not covet the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it for yourselves, lest you be snared by it; for it is an abomination to Jehovah your God.

vw@Deuteronomy:7:26 @ Nor shall you bring an abomination into your house, lest you be utterly destroyed like it. You shall detest it unto abomination and loathe it unto abhorrence, for it is a prohibited thing.

vw@Deuteronomy:8:2 @ And you shall remember that Jehovah your God has led you all the way these forty years in the wilderness, to humble you and test you, to know what was in your heart, whether you would keep His commandments or not.

vw@Deuteronomy:8:5 @ You have come to know in your heart that as a man chastens his son, so Jehovah your God chastens you.

vw@Deuteronomy:8:6 @ Therefore you shall keep the commandments of Jehovah your God, to walk in His ways and to fear Him.

vw@Deuteronomy:8:7 @ For Jehovah your God is bringing you into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and springs, that flow out of valleys and hills;

vw@Deuteronomy:8:11 @ Beware that you do not forget Jehovah your God by not keeping His commandments, His judgments, and His statutes which I am commanding you today,

vw@Deuteronomy:8:13 @ and when your herds and your flocks multiply, and your silver and your gold are multiplied, and all that you have is multiplied;

vw@Deuteronomy:8:17 @ you say in your heart, My power and the might of my hand have acquired me this wealth.

vw@Deuteronomy:8:18 @ But you shall remember Jehovah your God, for it is He who gives you power to acquire wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He has sworn to your fathers, as it is this day.

vw@Deuteronomy:8:19 @ And it shall be, if you cease caring, to forget Jehovah your God, and have walked after other gods, and have served them and bowed down to them, I testify against you this day that you shall perish to extermination.

vw@Deuteronomy:9:3 @ Therefore understand today that Jehovah your God is He who goes over before you as a consuming fire. He will destroy them and bring them down before you; thus you shall dispossess them and destroy them quickly, as Jehovah has spoken to you.

vw@Deuteronomy:9:4 @ Do not think in your heart, after Jehovah your God has cast them out before you, saying, Because of my righteousness Jehovah has brought me in to possess this land; but it is because of the wickedness of these nations that Jehovah is driving them out before you.

vw@Deuteronomy:9:5 @ It is not because of your righteousness or the uprightness of your heart that you are going in to possess their land, but because of the wickedness of these nations that Jehovah your God is driving them out before you, and that He may fulfill the word which Jehovah has sworn to your fathers; to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

vw@Deuteronomy:9:6 @ Therefore understand that Jehovah your God is not giving you this good land to possess because of your righteousness, for you are a stiff-necked people.

vw@Deuteronomy:9:7 @ Remember; do not forget how you provoked Jehovah your God to wrath in the wilderness. From the day that you departed from the land of Egypt until you came to this place, you have been rebellious against Jehovah.

vw@Deuteronomy:9:12 @ And Jehovah said to me, Arise, go down quickly from here, for your people whom you have brought out of Egypt have acted corruptly; they have quickly turned aside from the way which I have commanded them; they have made themselves a molten image.

vw@Deuteronomy:9:13 @ Furthermore Jehovah spoke to me, saying, I have seen this people, and behold, they are a stiff-necked people.

vw@Deuteronomy:9:23 @ Likewise, when Jehovah sent you from Kadesh Barnea, saying, Go up and possess the land which I have given you, then you rebelled against the mouth of Jehovah your God, and you did not believe Him nor obey His voice.

vw@Deuteronomy:9:27 @ Remember Your servants, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; do not look on the stubbornness of this people, or on their wickedness or their sin,

vw@Deuteronomy:9:28 @ lest the land from which You have brought us should say, Because Jehovah was not able to bring them to the land which He promised them, and because He hated them, He has brought them out to kill them in the wilderness.

vw@Deuteronomy:10:6 @ (Now the children of Israel journeyed from the wells of the sons of Jaakan to Moserah, where Aaron died, and where he was buried; and Eleazar his son served as priest in his place.

vw@Deuteronomy:10:8 @ At that time Jehovah had separated the tribe of Levi to bear the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, to stand before Jehovah to serve Him and to bless in His name, to this day.

vw@Deuteronomy:10:9 @ Therefore Levi has no portion nor inheritance with his brethren; Jehovah is his inheritance, just as Jehovah your God has spoken to him.)

vw@Deuteronomy:10:11 @ And Jehovah said to me, Arise, proceed on your journey before the people, that they may go in and possess the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them.

vw@Deuteronomy:10:12 @ And now, Israel, what is Jehovah your God asking of you, but to fear Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways and to love Him, to serve Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul,

vw@Deuteronomy:10:13 @ and to keep the commandments of Jehovah and His statutes which I am commanding you today for your good.

vw@Deuteronomy:10:14 @ Behold, the heavens and the Heaven of the heavens, and also the earth with all that is in it, belong to Jehovah your God.

vw@Deuteronomy:10:15 @ Jehovah has longed for your fathers, to love them; and He chose their seed after them, you out of all peoples, as it is this day.

vw@Deuteronomy:10:16 @ Therefore circumcise the foreskin of your heart, and be stiff-necked no more;

vw@Deuteronomy:10:17 @ for Jehovah your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great Mighty God, mighty and awesome, who shows no partiality nor takes a bribe.

vw@Deuteronomy:11:6 @ and what He has done to Dathan and Abiram the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben: how the earth opened its mouth and swallowed them up, their houses, their tents, and all the substance at their feet, in the midst of all Israel;

vw@Deuteronomy:11:10 @ For the land which you are going to possess is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you sowed your seed and watered it by foot, as a vegetable garden;

vw@Deuteronomy:27:15 @ Cursed is the one who makes a graven or molten image, an abomination to Jehovah, the work of the hands of the craftsman, and sets it up in secret. And all the people shall answer and say, Amen!

vw@Deuteronomy:27:16 @ Cursed is the one who treats his father or his mother with contempt. And all the people shall say, Amen!

vw@Deuteronomy:27:17 @ Cursed is the one who moves his neighbor’s landmark. And all the people shall say, Amen!

vw@Deuteronomy:27:18 @ Cursed is the one who makes the blind to wander off the road. And all the people shall say, Amen!

vw@Deuteronomy:27:19 @ Cursed is the one who perverts the justice due the sojourner, the fatherless, and widow. And all the people shall say, Amen!

vw@Deuteronomy:27:20 @ Cursed is the one who lies with his father’s wife, because he has uncovered his father’s skirt. And all the people shall say, Amen!

vw@Deuteronomy:27:21 @ Cursed is the one who lies with any kind of animal. And all the people shall say, Amen!

vw@Deuteronomy:27:22 @ Cursed is the one who lies with his sister, the daughter of his father or the daughter of his mother. And all the people shall say, Amen!

vw@Deuteronomy:27:23 @ Cursed is the one who lies with his mother-in-law. And all the people shall say, Amen!

vw@Deuteronomy:27:25 @ Cursed is the one who takes a bribe to strike the blood of an innocent soul. And all the people shall say, Amen!

vw@Deuteronomy:27:26 @ Cursed is the one who does not confirm all the Words of this Law. And all the people shall say, Amen!

vw@Deuteronomy:28:1 @ And it shall come to pass, if you take heed to obey the voice of Jehovah your God, to take heed to do all His commandments which I am commanding you today, that Jehovah your God will set you high above all nations of the earth.

vw@Deuteronomy:28:7 @ Jehovah shall cause your enemies who rise against you to be stricken before your face; they shall come out against you one way and flee before you seven ways.

vw@Deuteronomy:28:8 @ Jehovah shall command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you put your hand, and He will bless you in the land which Jehovah your God is giving to you.

vw@Deuteronomy:28:9 @ Jehovah will establish you as a holy people unto Himself, as He has sworn unto you, if you keep the commandments of Jehovah your God and have walked in His ways.

vw@Deuteronomy:28:12 @ Jehovah will open to you His good treasure, the heavens, to give the rain to your land in its season, and to bless all the work of your hand. You shall lend to many nations, but you shall not borrow.

vw@Deuteronomy:28:14 @ And you shall not turn aside from any of the words which I am commanding you this day, to the right or the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

vw@Deuteronomy:28:15 @ But it shall come to pass, if you do not obey the voice of Jehovah your God, to take heed to do all His commandments and His statutes which I am commanding you today, that all these curses shall come upon you and overtake you:

vw@Deuteronomy:28:20 @ Jehovah will send upon you cursing, turmoil, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do, until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the evil of your doings in which you have forsaken Me.

vw@Deuteronomy:28:22 @ Jehovah will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with burning fever, with the sword, with blight, and with mildew; they shall pursue you until you perish.

vw@Deuteronomy:28:37 @ And you shall become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword among all the nations where Jehovah shall drive you.

vw@Deuteronomy:28:42 @ Locusts shall dispossess all your trees and the produce of your land.

vw@Deuteronomy:28:43 @ The sojourners among you shall rise higher and higher above you, and you shall come down lower and lower.

vw@Deuteronomy:28:45 @ Moreover all these curses shall come upon you and pursue and overtake you, until you are destroyed, because you did not obey the voice of Jehovah your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which He has commanded you.

vw@Deuteronomy:28:53 @ You shall eat the fruit of your own womb, the flesh of your sons and your daughters whom Jehovah your God has given to you, in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemies shall distress you.

vw@Deuteronomy:28:54 @ The eye of the man who is tender and very delicate shall quiver with hostility toward his brother, toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the rest of his children whom he leaves behind,

vw@Deuteronomy:28:55 @ so that he will not give to any of them the flesh of his children whom he shall eat, because he has nothing left in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress you in all your gates.

vw@Deuteronomy:28:57 @ and toward her afterbirth which comes forth from between her feet and her children whom she bears; for she shall eat them secretly for lack of everything in the siege and desperate straits in which your enemy shall distress you in all your gates.

vw@Deuteronomy:28:58 @ If you do not take heed to do all the Words of this Law that are written in this book, to fear this glorious and awesome name, JEHOVAH GOD,

vw@Deuteronomy:28:60 @ Moreover He will bring back upon you all the diseases of Egypt, of which you were afraid, and they shall cleave to you.

vw@Deuteronomy:28:61 @ Also every sickness and every plague, which is not written in this Book of the Law, will Jehovah bring upon you to destroy you.

vw@Deuteronomy:29:1 @ These are the words of the covenant which Jehovah commanded Moses to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, besides the covenant which He had made with them in Horeb.

vw@Deuteronomy:29:2 @ And Moses summoned all Israel and said to them: You have seen all that Jehovah has done before your eyes in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and to all his land;

vw@Deuteronomy:29:4 @ Yet Jehovah has not given you a heart to perceive and eyes to see and ears to hear, to this very day.

vw@Deuteronomy:29:7 @ And when you came to this place, Sihon king of Heshbon and Og king of Bashan came out against us to battle, and we struck them.

vw@Deuteronomy:29:9 @ Therefore keep the Words of this covenant, and do them, that you may be wise in all that you do.

vw@Deuteronomy:29:10 @ All of you are standing today before Jehovah your God: your heads, your tribes, your elders and your officials, all the men of Israel;

vw@Deuteronomy:29:11 @ your little ones and your wives; and the sojourner who is in your camp, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water;

vw@Deuteronomy:29:13 @ to establish you today as a people for Himself, to be, Himself, your God, just as He has spoken to you, and as He has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

vw@Deuteronomy:29:14 @ I am making this covenant and this oath, not only with you,

vw@Deuteronomy:29:15 @ but with him who stands here with us today before Jehovah our God, as well as with him who is not here with us today

vw@Deuteronomy:29:19 @ and so it not happen, when he hears the words of this curse, that he has blessed himself in his heart, thinking, I shall have peace, even though I walk in the stubbornness of my heart; and thus to snatch away the watered with the thirsty.

vw@Deuteronomy:29:20 @ Jehovah will not consent to forgive him; for then the anger of Jehovah and His jealousy shall smoke against that man, and every curse that is written in this book shall lie down upon him, and Jehovah shall blot out his name from under the heavens.

vw@Deuteronomy:29:21 @ And Jehovah shall separate him from all the tribes of Israel for evil, according to all the curses of the covenant that are written in this Book of the Law,

vw@Deuteronomy:29:22 @ so that your children of the generations to come, who rise up after you, and the foreigner who comes from a distant land, when they see the plagues of that land and the sicknesses which Jehovah has laid upon it, shall utter:

vw@Deuteronomy:29:23 @ The whole land is brimstone, salt, and burning; it is not sown, nor does it sprout, nor does any grass grow there, like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboim, which Jehovah overthrew in His anger and His wrath.

vw@Deuteronomy:29:24 @ And all the nations shall say, Why has Jehovah done thus unto this land? What is the meaning of this great burning anger?

vw@Deuteronomy:29:27 @ And the anger of Jehovah burned against this land, to bring upon it every curse that is written in this Book.

vw@Deuteronomy:29:28 @ And Jehovah uprooted them from their land in anger, in wrath, and in great indignation, and cast them into another land, as it is this day.

vw@Deuteronomy:29:29 @ Jehovah our God hides Himself; but reveals Himself to us and to our children forever, to do all the Words of this Law.

vw@Deuteronomy:30:2 @ and you return to Jehovah your God and obey His voice, according to all that I am commanding you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul,

vw@Deuteronomy:30:6 @ And Jehovah your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your seed, to love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.

vw@Deuteronomy:30:8 @ And you shall return and obey the voice of Jehovah and do all His commandments which I am commanding you today.

vw@Deuteronomy:30:10 @ if you obey the voice of Jehovah your God, to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

vw@Deuteronomy:30:11 @ For this commandment which I am commanding you today is not too difficult for you to understand, nor is it far off.

vw@Deuteronomy:30:12 @ It is not in the heavens, for you to think: Who shall ascend into the heavens for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?

vw@Deuteronomy:30:13 @ Nor is it beyond the sea, for you to think: Who shall go over the sea for us and bring it to us, that we may hear it and do it?

vw@Deuteronomy:30:14 @ But the Word is very near you, in your mouth and in your heart, that you may do it.

vw@Deuteronomy:30:16 @ in that I am commanding you today to love Jehovah your God, to walk in His ways, and to keep His commandments, His statutes, and His judgments, that you may live and multiply; and Jehovah your God will bless you in the land which you are going in to possess.

vw@Deuteronomy:30:18 @ I have declared to you today that you shall be exterminated to perish; you shall not prolong your days in the land which you are crossing over the Jordan to go in and possess.

vw@Deuteronomy:30:20 @ to love Jehovah your God, to obey His voice, and to cleave unto Him, for He is your life and the length of your days; to dwell in the land which Jehovah has sworn to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give it to them.

vw@Deuteronomy:31:1 @ And Moses went and spoke these words to all Israel.

vw@Deuteronomy:31:2 @ And he said to them: I am one hundred and twenty years old today. I can no longer go out and come in. And Jehovah has said to me, You shall not cross over this Jordan.

vw@Deuteronomy:31:3 @ Jehovah your God Himself is crossing over before you; He will destroy these nations before you, and you shall dispossess them. Joshua himself is crossing over before you, as Jehovah has spoken.

vw@Deuteronomy:31:6 @ Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for Jehovah your God, He is the One who is going with you. He will not abandon you nor forsake you.

vw@Deuteronomy:31:7 @ And Moses called to Joshua and said to him in the eyes of all Israel, Be strong and of good courage, for you shall go with this people into the land which Jehovah has sworn to their fathers to give to them, and you shall cause them to inherit it.

vw@Deuteronomy:31:8 @ And Jehovah, He is going before you. He will be with you; He will not abandon you nor forsake you. Do not fear nor be dismayed.

vw@Deuteronomy:31:9 @ And Moses wrote this Law and delivered it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and to all the elders of Israel.

vw@Deuteronomy:31:11 @ when all Israel comes to appear before Jehovah your God in the place which He chooses, you shall read this Law before all Israel in their ears.

vw@Deuteronomy:31:12 @ Gather the people together, men and women and little ones, and the sojourner who is within your gates, that they may hear and that they may learn to fear Jehovah your God and take heed to do all the Words of this Law,

vw@Deuteronomy:31:14 @ And Jehovah said to Moses, Behold, the day has drawn near for you to die. Summon Joshua, and present yourselves at the tent of meeting, that I may commission him. And Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the tent of meeting.

vw@Deuteronomy:31:16 @ And Jehovah said to Moses: Behold, you shall rest with your fathers; and this people will rise up and commit adultery with the gods of the foreigners of the land, where they are going in to be among them, and they will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them.

vw@Deuteronomy:31:17 @ And My anger will burn against them in that day, and I shall forsake them, and I will hide My face from them, and they shall be devoured. And many evils and troubles shall befall them, so that they will say in that day, Have not these evils come upon us because our God is not among us?

vw@Deuteronomy:31:19 @ Now therefore, write down this song for yourselves, and teach it to the children of Israel; put it in their mouths, that this song may be a witness for Me against the children of Israel.

vw@Deuteronomy:31:21 @ And it shall be, when many evils and troubles find them, that this song shall testify against them as a witness; for it will not be forgotten in the mouths of their seed, for I know the imagination of their works even today, even before I bring them into the land of which I have sworn to give to them.

vw@Deuteronomy:31:22 @ Therefore Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the children of Israel.

vw@Deuteronomy:31:23 @ And He commissioned Joshua the son of Nun, and said, Be strong and of good courage; for you shall bring the children of Israel into the land of which I have sworn to them, and I shall be with you.

vw@Deuteronomy:31:24 @ So it was, when Moses had completed writing the words of this Law in a book, when they were finished,

vw@Deuteronomy:31:26 @ Take this Book of the Law, and put it inside the ark of the covenant of Jehovah your God, to be there as a witness against you;

vw@Deuteronomy:31:30 @ And Moses spoke in the ears of all the assembly of Israel the words of this song to their conclusion:

vw@Deuteronomy:32:2 @ Let my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, as raindrops on the tender herb, and as showers upon the grass.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:4 @ He is the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice, a Mighty God of truth and without injustice; righteous and upright is He.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:5 @ They have corrupted themselves; they are not His children, because of their blemish: a perverse and crooked generation.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:6 @ Do you deal thus with Jehovah, O foolish and unwise people? Is He not your Father, who bought you? Has He not made you and established you?

vw@Deuteronomy:32:8 @ When the Most High divided their inheritance to the nations, when He separated the sons of Adam, He set the boundaries of the peoples according to the number of the sons of Israel.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:9 @ For Jehovah’s portion is His people; Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:10 @ He found him in a desert land and in the wasteland, a howling wilderness; He encircled him, He instructed him, He kept him as the pupil of His eye.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:15 @ But Jeshurun grew fat and kicked; you grew fat, you grew thick, you are gorged! And he forsook the God who had made him, and treated with contempt the Rock of his salvation.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:19 @ And when Jehovah saw it, He spurned them, because of the provocation of His sons and His daughters.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:20 @ And He said, I will hide My face from them, I will see what their end will be, for they are a perverse generation, children in whom is no faithfulness.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:21 @ They have provoked Me to jealousy by what is not the Mighty God; they have moved Me to anger by their vanities. So I will provoke them to jealousy by those who are not a people; I will move them to anger by a foolish nation.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:24 @ They shall be wasted with hunger, devoured by burning heat and bitter destruction; I will also send against them the teeth of beasts, with the poison of the serpents of the dust.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:27 @ had I not feared the wrath of the enemy, lest their adversaries should misunderstand, lest they should say, our hand is high; and Jehovah has not done all this.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:28 @ For they are a nation void of counsel, nor is there any understanding in them.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:29 @ Oh, that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end!

vw@Deuteronomy:32:31 @ For their rock is not like our Rock, even our enemies themselves being judges.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:32 @ For their vine is of the vine of Sodom and of the fields of Gomorrah; their grapes are grapes of gall, their clusters are bitter.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:33 @ Their wine is the poison of serpents, and the cruel venom of vipers.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:34 @ Is this not laid up in store with Me, sealed up among My treasures?

vw@Deuteronomy:32:35 @ Vengeance is Mine, and recompense; their foot shall slip in due time; for the day of their calamity is near, and the things prepared have made haste upon them.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:36 @ For Jehovah will judge His people and have compassion on His servants, when He sees that their power is gone, and there is no one remaining, bond or free.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:38 @ Who ate the fat of their sacrifices, and drank the wine of their drink offering? Let them rise up and help you, and be your refuge.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:39 @ See now that I, even I, am He, and there is no God besides Me; I kill and I make alive; I wound and I heal; nor is there any who can deliver out of My hand.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:40 @ For I raise My hand to the heavens, and say, As I live forever,

vw@Deuteronomy:32:43 @ Rejoice, O nations, with His people; for He will avenge the blood of His servants, and render vengeance to His adversaries; He will provide atonement for His land and His people.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:44 @ And Moses came with Joshua the son of Nun and spoke all the words of this song in the ears of the people.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:45 @ And Moses finished speaking all these words to all Israel,

vw@Deuteronomy:32:46 @ and He said to them: Set your hearts on all the words which I am testifying against you today, that you command your children to take heed to do all the Words of this Law.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:47 @ For these are not empty words to you, for it is your life; and by this Word you shall prolong your days in the land where you are crossing over the Jordan to possess.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:49 @ Go up into this mountain of Abarim, Mount Nebo, which is in the land of Moab, across from Jericho; view the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel as a possession;

vw@Deuteronomy:32:50 @ and die on the mountain which you ascend, and be gathered to your people, even as Aaron your brother died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people;

vw@Deuteronomy:32:51 @ because you have trespassed against Me among the children of Israel at the waters of Meribah Kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, because you did not honor Me in the midst of the children of Israel.

vw@Deuteronomy:32:52 @ Yet you shall see the land before you, though you shall not go there, into the land which I am giving to the children of Israel.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:1 @ Now this is the blessing with which Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:2 @ And he said: Jehovah has come from Sinai, and dawned on them from Seir; He has shone forth from Mount Paran, and He has come with ten thousands of saints; from His right hand a fiery Law for them.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:3 @ Yes, He loves the people; all His saints are in Your hand; they sit down at Your feet; everyone receives Your Words.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:5 @ And he was king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people were gathered, all the tribes of Israel together.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:6 @ Let Reuben live, and not die, and let his men be numbered.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:7 @ And this he said of Judah: Hear, Jehovah, the voice of Judah, and bring him to his people; let his hands be sufficient for him, and may You be a help against his enemies.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:9 @ who says of his father and mother, I have not seen them; nor has he acknowledged his brothers, or known his own children; for they have kept Your Word and guarded Your covenant.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:10 @ They shall teach Jacob Your judgments, and Israel Your Law. They shall put incense before Your nose, and a whole burnt offering upon Your altar.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:11 @ Bless his strength, O Jehovah, and accept the work of his hands; strike the loins of those who rise against him, and of those who hate him, that they rise not again.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:12 @ Of Benjamin he said: The beloved of Jehovah shall dwell in safety by Him, who shelters him all the day long; and he shall dwell between His shoulders.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:13 @ And of Joseph he said: Blessed of Jehovah is his land, with the excellence of the heavens, with the dew, and the deep lying beneath,

vw@Deuteronomy:33:16 @ with the excellence of the earth and its fullness, and the favor of Him who dwelt in the bush; let it come upon the head of Joseph, and upon the crown of the head of him who was separated from his brothers.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:17 @ His glory is like a firstborn bull, and his horns like the horns of the oryx; together with them He shall thrust the peoples to the ends of the earth; they are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and they are the thousands of Manasseh.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:18 @ And of Zebulun he said: Rejoice, Zebulun, in your going out, and Issachar in your tents!

vw@Deuteronomy:33:20 @ And of Gad he said: Blessed is he who enlarges Gad; he dwells as a lion, and tears the arm and the crown of the head.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:21 @ He saw the first part for himself, because a lawgiver’s portion was reserved there. He came with the heads of the people; he has administered the justice of Jehovah, and His judgments with Israel.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:22 @ And of Dan he said: Dan is a lion’s whelp; he shall leap from Bashan.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:23 @ And of Naphtali he said: O Naphtali, satisfied with favor, and full of the blessing of Jehovah, possess the west and the south.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:24 @ And of Asher he said: Asher is most blessed of sons; let him be acceptable to his brothers, and let him dip his foot in oil.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:26 @ There is no one like the Mighty God of Jeshurun, riding the Heavens for your help, and in His majesty upon the clouds.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:27 @ The God of old is your refuge, and underneath are the eternal arms. He will thrust out the enemy before you, and say, Destroy!

vw@Deuteronomy:33:28 @ And Israel shall dwell alone in safety, the fountain of Jacob in a land of grain and new wine; his heavens shall also drop dew.

vw@Deuteronomy:33:29 @ Blessed are you, O Israel! Who is like you, a people saved by Jehovah, the shield of your help and the sword of your majesty! Your enemies shall cower before you, and you shall tread down their high places.

vw@Deuteronomy:34:1 @ And Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is across from Jericho. And Jehovah showed him all the land of Gilead as far as Dan,

vw@Deuteronomy:34:4 @ And Jehovah said to him, This is the land of which I have sworn to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, I will give it to your seed. I have caused you to see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.

vw@Deuteronomy:34:6 @ And He buried him in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth Peor; but no one knows his grave to this day.

vw@Deuteronomy:34:7 @ Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes had not dimmed nor had his natural vigor abated.

vw@Deuteronomy:34:8 @ And the children of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days. And the days of weeping and mourning for Moses ended.

vw@Deuteronomy:34:9 @ And Joshua the son of Nun was full of the Spirit of wisdom, for Moses had laid his hands on him; so the children of Israel heeded him, and did as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

vw@Deuteronomy:34:10 @ And since then there has not arisen in Israel a prophet like Moses, whom Jehovah knew face to face,

vw@Deuteronomy:34:11 @ in all the signs and wonders which Jehovah had sent him to do in the land of Egypt, before Pharaoh, before all his servants, and in all his land,

vw@Deuteronomy:34:12 @ and by all the mighty hand and all the great terror which Moses had done in the eyes of all Israel.

vw@Joshua:1:1 @ And after the death of Moses the servant of Jehovah, it came to pass that Jehovah spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses’ minister, saying:

vw@Joshua:1:2 @ Moses My servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this Jordan, you and all this people, into the land which I am giving to them; to the children of Israel.

vw@Joshua:1:4 @ From the wilderness and this Lebanon as far as the great river, the River Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and to the Great Sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your territory.

vw@Joshua:1:6 @ Be strong and of good courage, for to this people you shall divide as an inheritance the land which I have sworn to their fathers to give to them.

vw@Joshua:1:8 @ This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may take heed to do according to all that is written in it. For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall have good success.

vw@Joshua:1:9 @ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed, for Jehovah your God is with you wherever you go.

vw@Joshua:1:11 @ Pass through the camp and command the people, saying, Prepare provisions for yourselves, for within three days you are crossing over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land which Jehovah your God is giving you to possess.

vw@Joshua:1:13 @ Remember the word which Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded you, saying, Jehovah your God is giving you rest and has given you this land.

vw@Joshua:1:14 @ Your wives, your little ones, and your livestock shall remain in the land which Moses has given you on this side of the Jordan. But you shall pass before your brethren armed, all your mighty men of valor, and help them,

vw@Joshua:1:15 @ until Jehovah has given your brethren rest, as He has given you, and they also have taken possession of the land which Jehovah your God is giving to them. Then you shall return to possess the land of your inheritance, which Moses the servant of Jehovah has given you on this side of the Jordan toward the sunrise.

vw@Joshua:2:2 @ And it was told the king of Jericho, saying, Behold, men have come here tonight from the children of Israel to search out the land.

vw@Joshua:2:11 @ And as soon as we heard these things, our hearts melted; neither did there remain any more courage in anyone because of you, for Jehovah your God, He is God in the heavens above and on earth beneath.

vw@Joshua:2:13 @ and save alive my father, my mother, my brothers, my sisters, and all that they have, and deliver our souls from death.

vw@Joshua:2:14 @ And the men answered her, Our lives for yours, if you tell none of this business of ours. And it shall be, when Jehovah gives us the land, that we will deal kindly and truly with you.

vw@Joshua:2:17 @ And the men said to her: We will be exempt from this oath of yours which you have made us swear,

vw@Joshua:2:18 @ unless, when we come into the land, you bind this cord of scarlet thread in the window through which you have let us down; and you shall bring your father, your mother, your brothers, and all your father’s household into your house.

vw@Joshua:2:19 @ And it shall be that whoever goes outside the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be upon his own head, and we will be guiltless. And whoever is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head if a hand is laid on him.

vw@Joshua:2:20 @ And if you tell this business of ours, then we will be free from your oath which you have made us swear.

vw@Joshua:3:1 @ And Joshua arose early in the morning; and they set out from Shittim and came to the Jordan, he and all the children of Israel, and lodged there before crossing over.

vw@Joshua:3:4 @ Yet there shall be a distance between you and it of about two thousand cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you must go, for you have not passed this way before.

vw@Joshua:3:7 @ And Jehovah said to Joshua, This day I will begin to magnify you in the eyes of all Israel, and they shall know that, as I was with Moses, so I am with you.

vw@Joshua:3:9 @ And Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come here, and hear the words of Jehovah your God.

vw@Joshua:3:10 @ And Joshua said, By this you shall know that the living Mighty God is among you, and that He will destroy to dispossess before you the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Hivites and the Perizzites and the Girgashites and the Amorites and the Jebusites:

vw@Joshua:3:11 @ Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of all the earth is crossing over before you into the Jordan.

vw@Joshua:3:12 @ Now therefore, take for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man from each tribe.

vw@Joshua:3:16 @ that the waters which came down from upstream stood still, and rose in a heap very far away at Adam, the city that is beside Zaretan. Thus the waters that went down into the sea of the plain, the Salt Sea, stopped, and were cut off; and the people crossed over opposite Jericho.

vw@Joshua:3:17 @ And the priests who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah stood firm on dry ground in the midst of the Jordan; and all Israel crossed over on dry ground, until all the people had crossed completely over the Jordan.

vw@Joshua:4:4 @ Then Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the children of Israel, one man from each tribe;

vw@Joshua:4:5 @ and Joshua said to them: Cross over before the ark of Jehovah your God into the midst of the Jordan, and each one of you take up a stone on his shoulder, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel,

vw@Joshua:4:6 @ that this may be a sign among you when your children ask in time to come, saying, What are these stones to you?

vw@Joshua:4:7 @ Then you shall answer them that the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah; when it crossed over the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off. And these stones shall be for a memorial to the children of Israel for all time.

vw@Joshua:4:8 @ And the children of Israel did so, as Joshua commanded, and took up twelve stones from the midst of the Jordan, as Jehovah had spoken to Joshua, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Israel, and carried them over with them to the place where they lodged, and laid them down there.

vw@Joshua:4:9 @ And Joshua set up twelve stones in the midst of the Jordan, at the place where the feet of the priests who bore the ark of the covenant stood; and they are there to this day.

vw@Joshua:4:10 @ Thus, the priests who bore the ark stood in the midst of the Jordan until everything was finished that Jehovah had commanded Joshua to speak to the people, according to all that Moses had commanded Joshua; and the people hurried and crossed over.

vw@Joshua:4:12 @ And the men of Reuben, the men of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh crossed over armed before the children of Israel, as Moses had spoken to them.

vw@Joshua:4:14 @ On that day Jehovah magnified Joshua in the eyes of all Israel; and they feared him, as they had feared Moses, all the days of his life.

vw@Joshua:4:21 @ And he spoke to the children of Israel, saying: When your sons ask their fathers in time to come, saying, What are these stones?

vw@Joshua:4:22 @ then you shall let your children know, saying, Israel crossed over this Jordan on dry land;

vw@Joshua:4:24 @ that all the peoples of the earth might know the hand of Jehovah, that it is mighty, that you may fear Jehovah your God all your days.

vw@Joshua:5:1 @ So it was, when all the kings of the Amorites who were on the west side of the Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard that Jehovah had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the children of Israel until we had crossed over, that their heart melted; and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the children of Israel.

vw@Joshua:5:2 @ At that time Jehovah said to Joshua, Make flint knives for yourself, and circumcise the sons of Israel again the second time.

vw@Joshua:5:3 @ And Joshua made flint knives for himself, and circumcised the sons of Israel at the hill of the foreskins.

vw@Joshua:5:4 @ And this is the reason why Joshua circumcised them: All the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, had died in the wilderness on the way, after they had come out of Egypt.

vw@Joshua:5:5 @ For all the people who came out had been circumcised, but all the people born in the wilderness, on the way as they came out of Egypt, had not been circumcised.

vw@Joshua:5:6 @ For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the people who were men of war, who had come out of Egypt, were consumed, because they did not obey the voice of Jehovah; to whom Jehovah swore that He would not show them the land which Jehovah had sworn to their fathers that He would give to us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

vw@Joshua:5:7 @ And Joshua circumcised their sons whom He raised up in their place; for they were uncircumcised, because they had not been circumcised on the way.

vw@Joshua:5:8 @ So it was, when they had finished circumcising all the people, that they stayed in their places in the camp to be healed.

vw@Joshua:5:9 @ And Jehovah said to Joshua, This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you. Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal to this day.

vw@Joshua:5:10 @ And the children of Israel camped in Gilgal, and kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month at evening on the wilderness plains of Jericho.

vw@Joshua:5:12 @ And the manna ceased on the day after they had eaten the produce of the land; and the children of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate the fruit of the land of Canaan that year.

vw@Joshua:5:13 @ And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said to Him, Are You for us or for our adversaries?

vw@Joshua:5:14 @ And He said, No, but as Commander of the army of Jehovah I have now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and prostrated himself, and said to Him, What does my Lord speak to His servant?

vw@Joshua:5:15 @ And the Commander of the army of Jehovah said to Joshua, Take your sandal off your foot, for the place where you are standing is holy. And Joshua did so.

vw@Joshua:6:1 @ Now Jericho was closed, shut up before the children of Israel; no one going out, and no one coming in.

vw@Joshua:6:7 @ And he said to the people, Pass along, and go around the city, and let him who is armed go along before the ark of Jehovah.

vw@Joshua:6:18 @ And you shall altogether keep from the devoted things, that you not be accursed when you take of the devoted things, and make the camp of Israel accursed, and trouble it.

vw@Joshua:6:23 @ And the young men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father, her mother, her brothers, and all that she had. And they brought out all her family and set them outside the camp of Israel.

vw@Joshua:6:25 @ And Joshua saved alive Rahab the harlot, her father’s house, and all that she had. And she dwells in Israel to this day, because she hid the messengers whom Joshua had sent to spy out Jericho.

vw@Joshua:6:26 @ And Joshua adjured them at that time, saying, Cursed be the man before Jehovah who rises up and builds this city Jericho; he shall lay its foundation with his firstborn, and with his youngest he shall set up its gates.

vw@Joshua:6:27 @ Thus Jehovah was with Joshua, and his fame spread throughout all the land.

vw@Joshua:7:1 @ But the children of Israel committed a trespass regarding the devoted things, for Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the devoted things; so the anger of Jehovah burned against the children of Israel.

vw@Joshua:7:2 @ Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is next to Beth Aven, to the east of Bethel, and spoke to them, saying, Go up and spy out the land. And the men went up and spied out Ai.

vw@Joshua:7:6 @ And Joshua tore his clothes, and fell to the earth on his face before the ark of Jehovah until evening, he and the elders of Israel; and they threw dust on their heads.

vw@Joshua:7:7 @ And Joshua said, Alas, O Lord Jehovah, why have You brought this people over the Jordan at all; to deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to destroy us? Oh, that we had been content, and dwelt on the other side of the Jordan!

vw@Joshua:7:8 @ O Lord, what shall I say when Israel turns its back before its enemies?

vw@Joshua:7:11 @ Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I have commanded them. For they have even taken some of the devoted things, and have both stolen and deceived; and they have also put it among their own stuff.

vw@Joshua:7:12 @ Therefore the sons of Israel were not able to stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they are accursed. Neither will I be with you anymore, unless you destroy the accursed from among you.

vw@Joshua:7:13 @ Get up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves for tomorrow, because thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: There is a devoted thing in your midst, O Israel; you are not able to stand before your enemies until you take away the devoted thing from among you.

vw@Joshua:7:15 @ And it shall be that he who is taken with the devoted thing shall be burned with fire, he and all that he has, because he has transgressed the covenant of Jehovah, and because he has done a disgraceful thing in Israel.

vw@Joshua:7:16 @ So Joshua arose early in the morning and brought Israel near by their tribes, and the tribe of Judah was taken.

vw@Joshua:7:18 @ And he brought near his house man by man, and Achan the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

vw@Joshua:7:19 @ And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give glory to Jehovah the God of Israel, and make confession to Him, and please tell me now what you have done; do not hide it from me.

vw@Joshua:7:20 @ And Achan answered Joshua and said, Indeed I have sinned against Jehovah the God of Israel, and this is what I have done:

vw@Joshua:7:22 @ So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and behold, it was hidden in his tent, with the silver under it.

vw@Joshua:7:23 @ And they took them from the midst of the tent, brought them to Joshua and to all the children of Israel, and laid them out before Jehovah.

vw@Joshua:7:24 @ And Joshua, and all Israel with him, took Achan the son of Zerah, the silver, the garment, the wedge of gold, his sons, his daughters, his oxen, his donkeys, his sheep, his tent, and all that he had, and they brought them to the valley of Achor.

vw@Joshua:7:25 @ And Joshua said, Why have you troubled us? Jehovah shall trouble you this day! And all Israel stoned him with stones; and they burned them with fire after they had stoned them with stones.

vw@Joshua:7:26 @ And they raised over him a great heap of stones, still there to this day. And Jehovah turned back from His burning anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called the Valley of Achor to this day.

vw@Joshua:8:1 @ And Jehovah said to Joshua: Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; take all the people of war with you, and arise, go up to Ai. Behold, I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city, and his land.

vw@Joshua:8:7 @ Then you shall rise up from the ambush and seize the city, for Jehovah your God has delivered it into your hand.

vw@Joshua:8:10 @ And Joshua rose up early in the morning and mustered the people, and went up, he and the elders of Israel, before the people to Ai.

vw@Joshua:8:14 @ And it happened, when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hurried and arose early and went out against Israel to battle, he and all his people, at an appointed place before the plain. But he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

vw@Joshua:8:15 @ And Joshua and all Israel made as if they were beaten before them, and fled by way of the wilderness.

vw@Joshua:8:17 @ There was not a man left in Ai or Bethel who had not gone out after Israel. So they left the city open and pursued Israel.

vw@Joshua:8:18 @ And Jehovah said to Joshua, Stretch out the javelin in your hand toward Ai, for I will give it into your hand. And Joshua stretched out the javelin in his hand toward the city.

vw@Joshua:8:19 @ And those in ambush rose up quickly out of their place; they ran as soon as he had stretched out his hand, and they entered the city and took it, and hurried to set the city on fire.

vw@Joshua:8:20 @ And when the men of Ai looked behind them, they saw, and behold, the smoke of the city ascended to the heavens. So they had no strength to flee this way or that way, and the people who had fled to the wilderness turned back upon the pursuers.

vw@Joshua:8:21 @ And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the ambush had taken the city and that the smoke of the city ascended, they turned back and struck down the men of Ai.

vw@Joshua:8:22 @ And the others came out of the city against them; so they were caught in the midst of Israel, some on this side and some on that side. And they struck them down, so that they let none of them remain or escape.

vw@Joshua:8:24 @ And it came to pass when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in the wilderness where they pursued them, and when they all had fallen by the edge of the sword until they were consumed, that all the Israelites returned to Ai and struck it with the edge of the sword.

vw@Joshua:8:26 @ For Joshua did not draw back his hand, with which he stretched out the javelin, until he had utterly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai.

vw@Joshua:8:27 @ Only the livestock and the spoils of that city Israel took as plunder for themselves, according to the word of Jehovah which He had commanded Joshua.

vw@Joshua:8:28 @ And Joshua burned Ai and made it a perpetual heap, a desolation to this day.

vw@Joshua:8:29 @ And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until evening. And as soon as the sun was down, Joshua commanded and they took his corpse down from the tree, cast it at the entrance of the gate of the city, and raise over it a great heap of stones that remains to this day.

vw@Joshua:8:30 @ And Joshua built an altar unto Jehovah the God of Israel, in Mount Ebal,

vw@Joshua:8:31 @ as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded the children of Israel, as it is written in the Book of the Law of Moses: an altar of whole stones on which no man has wielded an iron tool. And they offered upon it burnt offerings unto Jehovah, and sacrificed peace offerings.

vw@Joshua:8:32 @ And there, in the presence of the children of Israel, he wrote on the stones a copy of the Law of Moses, which he had written.

vw@Joshua:8:33 @ And all Israel, with their elders and officers and judges, stood on either side of the ark before the priests, the Levites, who bore the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, the sojourner as well as he who was born among them. Half of them were in front of Mount Gerizim and half of them in front of Mount Ebal, as Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded before, that they should bless the people of Israel.

vw@Joshua:8:34 @ And afterward he read all the Words of the Law, the blessings and the curses, according to all that is written in the Book of the Law.

vw@Joshua:8:35 @ There was not a Word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel, with the women, the little ones, and the sojourners who were living among them.

vw@Joshua:9:2 @ that they gathered together to fight with Joshua and Israel with one mouth.

vw@Joshua:9:5 @ old and patched sandals on their feet, and old garments on themselves; and all the bread of their provision was dry and in crumbs.

vw@Joshua:9:6 @ And they went to Joshua, to the camp at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, We have come from a distant land; now therefore, make a treaty with us.

vw@Joshua:9:7 @ And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, Perhaps you are dwelling among us; so how can we make a treaty with you?

vw@Joshua:9:9 @ So they said to him: Your servants have come from a very distant land, because of the name of Jehovah your God; for we have heard of His fame, and all that He has done in Egypt,

vw@Joshua:9:11 @ Therefore our elders and all the inhabitants of our land spoke to us, saying, Take provisions with you for the journey, and go to meet them, and say to them, We are your servants; now therefore, make a treaty with us.

vw@Joshua:9:12 @ This bread of ours we took hot for our provision from our houses on the day we departed to come to you. But now behold, it is dry and crumbly.

vw@Joshua:9:14 @ And the men of Israel took some of their provisions; but they did not ask at the mouth of Jehovah.

vw@Joshua:9:17 @ And the children of Israel journeyed and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon, Chephirah, Beeroth, and Kirjath Jearim.

vw@Joshua:9:18 @ But the sons of Israel did not strike them, because the leaders of the congregation had sworn to them by Jehovah the God of Israel. And all the congregation grumbled against the leaders.

vw@Joshua:9:19 @ Then all the leaders said to all the congregation, We have sworn to them by Jehovah the God of Israel; now therefore, we cannot touch them.

vw@Joshua:9:20 @ This we will do to them: We will let them live, that wrath not be upon us because of the oath which we have sworn to them.

vw@Joshua:9:24 @ And they answered Joshua and said, Because it was reported and told to your servants that Jehovah your God had commanded His servant Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all the inhabitants of the land before you; therefore we were greatly afraid for our souls because of you, and have done this thing.

vw@Joshua:9:26 @ Thus he did to them, and delivered them out of the hand of the sons of Israel, so that they did not kill them.

vw@Joshua:9:27 @ And that day Joshua made them woodcutters and drawers of water for the congregation and for the altar of Jehovah, in the place which He would choose, even to this day.

vw@Joshua:10:1 @ Now it came to pass when Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai and had utterly destroyed it; as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king; and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were among them,

vw@Joshua:10:3 @ Therefore Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish, and Debir king of Eglon, saying,

vw@Joshua:10:4 @ Come up to me and help me, that we may strike Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua and with the children of Israel.

vw@Joshua:10:5 @ Therefore the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered together and went up, they and all their armies, and camped before Gibeon and made war against it.

vw@Joshua:10:10 @ And Jehovah routed them before Israel, struck them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, pursued them along the way that goes to Beth Horon, and struck them down as far as Azekah and Makkedah.

vw@Joshua:10:11 @ And it happened, as they fled before Israel and were on the descent of Beth Horon, that Jehovah cast down large hailstones from the heavens upon them as far as Azekah, and they died. There were more who died from the hailstones than the sons of Israel had killed with the sword.

vw@Joshua:10:12 @ Then Joshua spoke to Jehovah in the day when Jehovah delivered up the Amorites before the sons of Israel, and he said in the eyes of Israel: Sun, stand still over Gibeon; and Moon, in the valley of Aijalon.

vw@Joshua:10:13 @ And the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the people took vengeance upon their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of the heavens, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.

vw@Joshua:10:14 @ And there has been no day like that, before it or after it, that Jehovah heeded the voice of a man; for Jehovah fought for Israel.

vw@Joshua:10:15 @ And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.

vw@Joshua:10:20 @ And it happened, while Joshua and the sons of Israel made an end of slaying them with a very great slaughter, till they had finished, that those who had escaped entered fortified cities.

vw@Joshua:10:21 @ And all the people returned to the camp, to Joshua at Makkedah, in peace. No one moved his tongue against any of the sons of Israel.

vw@Joshua:10:23 @ And they did so, and brought out those five kings to him from the cave: the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

vw@Joshua:10:24 @ And it came to pass, when they brought out those kings to Joshua, that Joshua summoned all the men of Israel, and said to the commanders of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings. And they drew near and put their feet on their necks.

vw@Joshua:10:25 @ And Joshua said to them, Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; be strong and of good courage, for thus Jehovah will do to all your enemies against whom you fight.

vw@Joshua:10:27 @ And so at the time of the going down of the sun, Joshua commanded, and they took them down from the trees, cast them into the cave where they had been hidden, and laid large stones against the cave’s mouth, which remain until this very day.

vw@Joshua:10:29 @ And Joshua passed from Makkedah, and all Israel with him, to Libnah; and they fought against Libnah.

vw@Joshua:10:30 @ And Jehovah also delivered it and its king into the hand of Israel; he struck it and all the souls who were in it with the edge of the sword. He let none remain in it, but did to its king as he had done to the king of Jericho.

vw@Joshua:10:31 @ And Joshua passed from Libnah, and all Israel with him, to Lachish; and they encamped against it and fought against it.

vw@Joshua:10:32 @ And Jehovah delivered Lachish into the hand of Israel, who took it on the second day, and struck it and all the souls who were in it with the edge of the sword, according to all that he had done to Libnah.

vw@Joshua:10:33 @ Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish; and Joshua struck him and his people, until he left him none remaining.

vw@Joshua:10:34 @ From Lachish Joshua passed to Eglon, and all Israel with him; and they encamped against it and fought against it.

vw@Joshua:10:35 @ They took it on that day and struck it with the edge of the sword; all the souls who were in it he utterly destroyed that day, according to all that he had done to Lachish.

vw@Joshua:10:36 @ And Joshua went up from Eglon, and all Israel with him, to Hebron; and they fought against it.

vw@Joshua:10:38 @ And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to Debir; and they fought against it.

vw@Joshua:10:40 @ Thus Joshua conquered all the lands of the mountains, and the south and the lowland and the wilderness slopes, and all their kings; he left no one remaining, but utterly destroyed all that breathed, as Jehovah the God of Israel had commanded.

vw@Joshua:10:42 @ All these kings and their land Joshua took at one time, because Jehovah the God of Israel, fought for Israel.

vw@Joshua:10:43 @ And Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal.

vw@Joshua:11:4 @ And they went out, they and all their armies with them, as many people as the sand that is on the seashore in multitude, with very many horses and chariots.

vw@Joshua:11:5 @ And when all these kings had met together, they came and camped together at the waters of Merom to fight against Israel.

vw@Joshua:11:6 @ And Jehovah said to Joshua, Do not be afraid before them, for tomorrow about this time I will deliver all of them slain before Israel. You shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire.

vw@Joshua:11:8 @ And Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Israel, who struck them and pursued them to Greater Sidon, to the Brook Misrephoth, and to the Valley of Mizpah eastward; they struck them until they left none of them remaining.

vw@Joshua:11:13 @ But as for the cities that stood on their mounds, Israel burned none of them, except Hazor only, which Joshua burned.

vw@Joshua:11:14 @ And all the spoils of these cities and the livestock, the sons of Israel took as plunder for themselves; but they struck every man with the edge of the sword until they had destroyed them, and they left no one breathing.

vw@Joshua:11:15 @ As Jehovah had commanded Moses his servant, thus Moses had commanded Joshua, and thus Joshua did. He did not turn aside from anything of all that Jehovah had commanded Moses.

vw@Joshua:11:16 @ Thus Joshua took all this land: the mountains, all the south, all the land of Goshen, the lowland, and the plain; the mountains of Israel and its lowlands,

vw@Joshua:11:19 @ There was not a city that made peace with the children of Israel, except the Hivites, the inhabitants of Gibeon. All the others they took in battle.

vw@Joshua:11:20 @ For it was of Jehovah to harden their hearts, that they should come against Israel in battle, that He might utterly destroy them, and that they might receive no mercy, but that He might destroy them, as Jehovah had commanded Moses.

vw@Joshua:11:21 @ And at that time Joshua came and cut off the Anakim from the mountains: from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab, from all the mountains of Judah, and from all the mountains of Israel; Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.

vw@Joshua:11:22 @ None of the Anakim were left in the land of the children of Israel; they remained only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod.

vw@Joshua:11:23 @ Thus Joshua took the whole land, according to all that Jehovah had spoken to Moses; and Joshua gave it as an inheritance to Israel according to their divisions by their tribes. And the land rested from war.

vw@Joshua:12:1 @ These are the kings of the land whom the sons of Israel struck, and whose land they dispossessed on the other side of the Jordan toward the rising of the sun, from the River Arnon to Mount Hermon, and all the plain on the east:

vw@Joshua:12:3 @ and the eastern plain from the Sea of Chinnereth as far as the sea of the plain (the Salt Sea), the way to Beth Jeshimoth, and southward below the slopes of Pisgah.

vw@Joshua:12:4 @ And Og, king of Bashan, and his territory, of the remnant of the giants, who dwelt at Ashtaroth and at Edrei,

vw@Joshua:12:6 @ These Moses the servant of Jehovah and the sons of Israel had struck; and Moses the servant of Jehovah gave it as a possession to the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

vw@Joshua:12:7 @ And these are the kings of the land which Joshua and the sons of Israel conquered on this side of the Jordan, on the west, from Baal Gad in the Valley of Lebanon as far as Mount Halak and the ascent to Seir, which Joshua gave to the tribes of Israel as a possession according to their divisions,

vw@Joshua:12:9 @ the king of Jericho, one; the king of Ai, which is beside Bethel, one;

vw@Joshua:12:11 @ the king of Jarmuth, one; the king of Lachish, one;

vw@Joshua:13:2 @ This is the land that yet remains: all the territory of the Philistines and all Geshuri,

vw@Joshua:13:3 @ from Sihor, before Egypt, to the border of Ekron northward (which is counted as Canaanite); the five lords of the Philistines; the Gazites, the Ashdodites, the Ashkelonites, the Gittites, and the Ekronites; also the Avites;

vw@Joshua:13:6 @ all the inhabitants of the mountains from Lebanon as far as Misrephoth Maim, and all the Sidonians; them I will dispossess before the sons of Israel; only, divide it by lot to Israel as an inheritance, as I have commanded you.

vw@Joshua:13:7 @ Now therefore, divide this land as an inheritance to the nine tribes and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

vw@Joshua:13:9 @ from Aroer on the bank of the River Arnon, and the town that is in the midst of the valley, and all the plain of Medeba as far as Dibon;

vw@Joshua:13:12 @ all the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who reigned in Ashtaroth and Edrei, who remained of the remnant of the giants; for Moses had struck and dispossessed them.

vw@Joshua:13:13 @ Nevertheless the sons of Israel did not dispossess the Geshurites or the Maachathites, but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell in the midst of Israel to this day.

vw@Joshua:13:14 @ Only to the tribe of Levi he had given no inheritance; the sacrifices by fire unto Jehovah the God of Israel, are their inheritance, as He had spoken to them.

vw@Joshua:13:16 @ Their territory was from Aroer, the bank of the River Arnon, and the city that is in the midst of the valley, and all the plain by Medeba;

vw@Joshua:13:20 @ Beth Peor, the slopes of Pisgah, and Beth Jeshimoth;

vw@Joshua:13:22 @ The sons of Israel also killed with the sword Balaam the son of Beor, the diviner, among their slain.

vw@Joshua:13:23 @ And the border of the sons of Reuben was the border of the Jordan. This was the inheritance of the sons of Reuben according to their families, the cities and their villages.

vw@Joshua:13:25 @ Their territory was Jazer, and all the cities of Gilead, and half the land of the Ammonites as far as Aroer, which is before Rabbah,

vw@Joshua:13:28 @ This is the inheritance of the sons of Gad according to their families, the cities and their villages.

vw@Joshua:13:32 @ These are what Moses had distributed as an inheritance in the plains of Moab on the other side of the Jordan, from Jericho eastward.

vw@Joshua:13:33 @ But to the tribe of Levi Moses had given no inheritance; Jehovah the God of Israel, was their inheritance, as He had spoken to them.

vw@Joshua:14:1 @ These are what the children of Israel inherited in the land of Canaan, which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of Israel divided up as possessions.

vw@Joshua:14:5 @ As Jehovah had commanded Moses, so the children of Israel did; and they divided the land.

vw@Joshua:14:10 @ And now, behold, Jehovah has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since Jehovah spoke this word to Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old.

vw@Joshua:14:11 @ As yet I am as strong this day as on the day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both to go out and to come in.

vw@Joshua:14:12 @ Now therefore, give me this mountain of which Jehovah spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were great and fortified. It may be that Jehovah will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as Jehovah has spoken.

vw@Joshua:14:14 @ Hebron therefore became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite to this day, because he fully followed Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@Joshua:15:1 @ This, then, was the lot of the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families: The border of Edom at the Wilderness of Zin southward was the southern extremity.

vw@Joshua:15:4 @ From there it passed toward Azmon and went out to the Brook of Egypt; and the border ended at the sea. This shall be your southern border.

vw@Joshua:15:7 @ And the border went up toward Debir from the Valley of Achor, and it turned northward toward Gilgal, which is in front of the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south side of the valley. The border continued toward the waters of En Shemesh and ended at En Rogel.

vw@Joshua:15:8 @ And the border went up by the valley of the Son of Hinnom to the southern slope of the Jebusites (which is Jerusalem). The border went up to the top of the mountain before the Valley of Hinnom westward, at the end of the Valley of Rephaim northward.

vw@Joshua:15:9 @ And the border went around from the top of the hill to the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and extended to the cities of Mount Ephron. And the border went around to Baalah (which is Kirjath Jearim).

vw@Joshua:15:10 @ And the border turned westward from Baalah to Mount Seir, passed along to the side of Mount Jearim on the north (which is Chesalon), went down to Beth Shemesh, and passed on to Timnah.

vw@Joshua:15:12 @ The west border was the Great Sea. This is the border of the sons of Judah all around according to their families.

vw@Joshua:15:13 @ And to Caleb the son of Jephunneh he gave a share among the sons of Judah, according to the commandment of Jehovah to Joshua, namely, Kirjath Arba, which is Hebron (Arba was the father of Anak).

vw@Joshua:15:14 @ Caleb dispossessed the three sons of Anak from there: Sheshai, Ahiman, and Talmai, born to Anak.

vw@Joshua:15:17 @ And Othniel the son of Kenaz, the brother of Caleb, took it; and he gave him Achsah his daughter as wife.

vw@Joshua:15:18 @ And it came to pass, when she came to him, that she urged him to ask her father for a field. And she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, What do you wish?

vw@Joshua:15:20 @ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families:

vw@Joshua:15:25 @ Hazor, Hadattah, Kerioth, Hezron (which is Hazor),

vw@Joshua:15:39 @ Lachish, Bozkath, Eglon,

vw@Joshua:15:40 @ Cabbon, Lahmas, Kithlish,

vw@Joshua:15:49 @ Dannah, Kirjath Sannah (which is Debir),

vw@Joshua:15:54 @ Humtah, Kirjath Arba (which is Hebron), and Zior: nine cities with their villages;

vw@Joshua:15:60 @ Kirjath Baal (which is Kirjath Jearim) and Rabbah: two cities with their villages.

vw@Joshua:15:63 @ As for the Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the sons of Judah could not drive them out; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Judah at Jerusalem to this day.

vw@Joshua:16:8 @ The border went out from Tappuah westward to the Brook Kanah, and it ended at the sea. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Ephraim according to their families.

vw@Joshua:16:10 @ And they did not drive out the Canaanites who dwelt in Gezer; but the Canaanites dwell in the midst of Ephraim to this day and are serving under tribute.

vw@Joshua:17:3 @ But Zelophehad the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but daughters. And these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

vw@Joshua:17:6 @ because the daughters of Manasseh had inherited an inheritance among his sons; and the rest of Manasseh’s sons had the land of Gilead.

vw@Joshua:17:10 @ Southward it was Ephraim’s, northward it was Manasseh’s, and the sea was its border. It met up with Asher on the north and Issachar on the east.

vw@Joshua:17:11 @ And in Issachar and in Asher, Manasseh had Beth Shean and its daughter-villages, Ibleam and its daughter-villages, the inhabitants of Dor and its daughter-villages, the inhabitants of En Dor and its daughter-villages, the inhabitants of Taanach and its daughter-villages, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its daughter-villages; three high regions.

vw@Joshua:17:12 @ Yet the sons of Manasseh could not dispossess those cities, but the Canaanites were determined to dwell in that land.

vw@Joshua:17:13 @ And it happened, when the sons of Israel grew strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, but did not drive them out to dispossess them.

vw@Joshua:17:18 @ but the mountains shall be yours. Although it is a forest, you shall cut it down, and it shall be yours to its extremities; for you shall dispossess the Canaanites, though they have iron chariots and are strong.

vw@Joshua:18:1 @ And the whole congregation of the children of Israel assembled together at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there. And the land was subdued before them.

vw@Joshua:18:2 @ But there remained among the children of Israel seven tribes which had not yet received their inheritance.

vw@Joshua:18:3 @ And Joshua said to the children of Israel: How long will you be slack to go and possess the land which Jehovah the God of your fathers has given to you?

vw@Joshua:18:4 @ Provide from among you three men for each tribe, and I will send them; they shall rise up and go through the land, plot it out according to their inheritance, and come back to me.

vw@Joshua:18:7 @ But the Levites have no portion among you, for the priesthood of Jehovah is their inheritance. And Gad, Reuben, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have received their inheritance beyond the Jordan to the east, which Moses the servant of Jehovah has given to them.

vw@Joshua:18:10 @ And Joshua cast lots for them at Shiloh before Jehovah, and there Joshua distributed the land to the sons of Israel according to their divisions.

vw@Joshua:18:13 @ The border went over from there toward Luz, beside Luz (which is Bethel) southward; and the border descended to Ataroth Addar, near the hill that is on the south side of Lower Beth Horon.

vw@Joshua:18:14 @ And the border extended around the west side to the south, from the hill that lies before Beth Horon southward; and it ended at Kirjath Baal (which is Kirjath Jearim), a city of the sons of Judah. This was the west side.

vw@Joshua:18:16 @ And the border came down to the end of the mountain that is before the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is in the valley of the giants on the north, descended to the Valley of Hinnom, beside the city of the Jebusites on the south, and descended to En Rogel.

vw@Joshua:18:19 @ And the border passed along to the north side of Beth Hoglah; and the border ended at the north bay at the Salt Sea, at the south end of the Jordan. This was the southern border.

vw@Joshua:18:20 @ The Jordan was its border on the east side. This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin, according to its borders all around, according to their families.

vw@Joshua:18:28 @ Zelah, Eleph, Jebus (which is Jerusalem), Gibeath, and Kirjath: fourteen cities with their villages. This was the inheritance of the sons of Benjamin according to their families.

vw@Joshua:19:8 @ and all the villages that were all around these cities as far as Baalath Beer, Ramah of the south. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families.

vw@Joshua:19:11 @ Their border went toward the west and to Maralah, went to Dabbasheth, and extended along the brook that is in front of Jokneam.

vw@Joshua:19:12 @ Then from Sarid it turned eastward toward the sunrise along the border of Chisloth Tabor, and went out toward Daberath, going up to Japhia.

vw@Joshua:19:16 @ This was the inheritance of the sons of Zebulun according to their families, these cities with their villages.

vw@Joshua:19:17 @ The fourth lot came out to Issachar, for the sons of Issachar according to their families.

vw@Joshua:19:20 @ Rabbith, Kishion, Abez,

vw@Joshua:19:23 @ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Issachar according to their families, the cities and their villages.

vw@Joshua:19:26 @ Alammelech, Amad, and Mishal; it reached to Mount Carmel westward, along the brook Shihor Libnath.

vw@Joshua:19:27 @ It turned toward the sunrise to Beth Dagon; and it reached to Zebulun and to the Valley of Jiphthah El, then northward beyond Beth Emek and Neiel, going past Cabul on the left,

vw@Joshua:19:31 @ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Asher according to their families, these cities with their villages.

vw@Joshua:19:34 @ And the border turned westward to Aznoth Tabor, and went out from there toward Hukkok; it extended to Zebulun on the south side and Asher on the west side, and ended at Judah by the Jordan toward the sunrise.

vw@Joshua:19:39 @ This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Naphtali according to their families, the cities and their villages.

vw@Joshua:19:47 @ And the border of the sons of Dan went beyond these, because the sons of Dan went up to fight against Leshem and took it; and they struck it with the edge of the sword, dispossessed it, and dwelt in it. They called Leshem, Dan, after the name of their father Daniel.

vw@Joshua:19:48 @ This is the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Dan according to their families, these cities with their villages.

vw@Joshua:19:49 @ When they had made an end of dividing the land as an inheritance according to their borders, the sons of Israel gave an inheritance among them to Joshua the son of Nun.

vw@Joshua:19:51 @ These were the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel divided as an inheritance by lot at Shiloh before Jehovah, at the door of the tent of meeting. Thus they made an end of dividing up the land.

vw@Joshua:20:2 @ Speak to the children of Israel, saying: Appoint for yourselves cities of refuge, of which I have spoken to you by the hand of Moses,

vw@Joshua:20:4 @ And when he flees to one of those cities, and stands at the entrance of the gate of the city, and declares his matter in the ears of the elders of that city, they shall take him into the city to themselves, and give him a place, that he may dwell among them.

vw@Joshua:20:5 @ And if the avenger of blood pursues him, they shall not deliver the slayer into his hand, because he struck his neighbor unintentionally, but did not hate him beforehand.

vw@Joshua:20:6 @ And he shall dwell in that city until he stands before the congregation for judgment, and until the death of the one who is high priest in those days. Then the slayer may return and come to his own city and his own house, to the city from which he fled.

vw@Joshua:20:7 @ So they appointed Kedesh in Galilee, in the mountains of Naphtali, Shechem in the mountains of Ephraim, and Kirjath Arba (which is Hebron) in the mountains of Judah.

vw@Joshua:20:9 @ These were the cities appointed for all the children of Israel and for the stranger who sojourns among them, that whoever kills a soul accidentally might flee there, and not die by the hand of the avenger of blood, to stand before the congregation.

vw@Joshua:21:1 @ Then the heads of the fathers of the Levites came near to Eleazar the priest, to Joshua the son of Nun, and to the heads of the fathers of the tribes of the sons of Israel.

vw@Joshua:21:3 @ And the sons of Israel gave to the Levites from their inheritance, at the mouth of Jehovah, these cities and their common lands:

vw@Joshua:21:6 @ And the sons of Gershon had thirteen cities by lot from the families of the tribe of Issachar, from the tribe of Asher, from the tribe of Naphtali, and from the half-tribe of Manasseh in Bashan.

vw@Joshua:21:8 @ And the sons of Israel gave these cities with their common lands by lot to the Levites, as Jehovah had commanded by the hand of Moses.

vw@Joshua:21:11 @ And they gave them Kirjath Arba (Arba was the father of Anak), which is Hebron, in the mountains of Judah, with the common land surrounding it.

vw@Joshua:21:12 @ But the fields of the city and its villages they gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh as his possession.

vw@Joshua:21:28 @ and from the tribe of Issachar, Kishion with its common land, Daberath with its common land,

vw@Joshua:21:30 @ and from the tribe of Asher, Mishal with its common land, Abdon with its common land,

vw@Joshua:21:41 @ All the cities of the Levites within the possession of the children of Israel were forty-eight cities with their common lands.

vw@Joshua:21:43 @ Thus Jehovah gave to Israel all the land of which He had sworn to give to their fathers, and they took possession of it and dwelt in it.

vw@Joshua:21:45 @ Not a word failed of any good thing which Jehovah had spoken to the house of Israel. All came to pass.

vw@Joshua:22:3 @ You have not left your brethren these many days, to this day, but have kept the charge of the commandment of Jehovah your God.

vw@Joshua:22:4 @ And now Jehovah your God has given rest to your brethren, as He has promised them; now therefore, return and go to your tents and to the land of your possession, which Moses the servant of Jehovah has given you on the other side of the Jordan.

vw@Joshua:22:5 @ But take diligent heed to do the commandment and the Law which Moses the servant of Jehovah has charged you, to love Jehovah your God, to walk in all His ways, to keep His commandments, to cleave unto Him, and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

vw@Joshua:22:7 @ Now to the half-tribe of Manasseh Moses had given a possession in Bashan, but to the other half of it Joshua gave a possession among their brethren on this side of the Jordan, westward. And when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he blessed them,

vw@Joshua:22:9 @ And the sons of Reuben, the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned, and departed from the children of Israel at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession, which they had obtained according to the mouth of Jehovah by the hand of Moses.

vw@Joshua:22:11 @ And the children of Israel heard it said, Behold, the sons of Reuben, the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh have built an altar across from the land of Canaan, in the regions of the Jordan, at the border of the children of Israel.

vw@Joshua:22:12 @ And when the children of Israel heard of it, the whole congregation of the sons of Israel gathered together at Shiloh to go to war against them.

vw@Joshua:22:13 @ Then the sons of Israel sent Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest to the sons of Reuben, to the sons of Gad, and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, into the land of Gilead,

vw@Joshua:22:14 @ and with him ten leaders, each one a chief leader of a father’s house of every tribe of Israel; and each one was the head of the house of his father among the thousands of Israel.

vw@Joshua:22:16 @ Thus says the whole congregation of Jehovah: What treachery is this that you have committed against the God of Israel, to turn away this day from following Jehovah, in that you have built for yourselves an altar, that you might rebel this day against Jehovah?

vw@Joshua:22:17 @ Was the iniquity of Peor too little for us, from which we are not cleansed to this day, and there was a plague in the congregation of Jehovah,

vw@Joshua:22:18 @ but that you must turn away this day from following Jehovah? And it shall be, if you rebel today against Jehovah, that tomorrow He will be angry with the whole congregation of Israel.

vw@Joshua:22:19 @ Nevertheless, if the land of your possession is unclean, then cross over to the land of the possession of Jehovah, where the tabernacle of Jehovah stands, and take possession among us; but do not rebel against Jehovah, nor rebel against us, by building yourselves an altar besides the altar of Jehovah our God.

vw@Joshua:22:20 @ Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit a trespass in the devoted thing, and wrath fell upon all the congregation of Israel? And that man was not the only one to die in his iniquity.

vw@Joshua:22:21 @ Then the sons of Reuben, the sons of Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh answered and said to the heads of the thousands of Israel:

vw@Joshua:22:22 @ Jehovah, the Mighty God of gods, Jehovah, the Mighty God of gods, He knows, and let Israel itself know; if it is in rebellion, or if in treachery against Jehovah, do not save us this day.

vw@Joshua:22:24 @ But we have done it in this manner out of concern, thinking, In time to come your sons may speak to our sons, saying, What have you to do with Jehovah the God of Israel?

vw@Joshua:22:28 @ Therefore we thought that it shall be, when they say this to us or to our generations in time to come, that we shall say, Look at the pattern of the altar of Jehovah which our fathers have made, though not for burnt offerings nor for sacrifices; but it is a witness between you and us.

vw@Joshua:22:29 @ Far be it from us that we should rebel against Jehovah, to turn from following Jehovah this day, to build an altar for burnt offerings, for grain offerings, or for sacrifices, besides the altar of Jehovah our God which is before His tabernacle.

vw@Joshua:22:30 @ And when Phinehas the priest and the leaders of the congregation, the heads of the thousands of Israel who were with him, heard the words that the sons of Reuben, the sons of Gad, and the sons of Manasseh had spoken, it pleased them.

vw@Joshua:22:31 @ And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest said to the sons of Reuben, the sons of Gad, and the sons of Manasseh, This day we perceive that Jehovah is among us, because you have not committed this treachery against Jehovah. Now you have delivered the children of Israel out of the hand of Jehovah.

vw@Joshua:22:32 @ And Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, and the leaders, returned from the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad, from the land of Gilead to the land of Canaan, to the children of Israel, and brought back word to them.

vw@Joshua:22:33 @ And the thing was good in the eyes of the children of Israel, and the children of Israel blessed God and spoke no more of going against them in battle, to destroy the land where the sons of Reuben and Gad were living.

vw@Joshua:22:34 @ And the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad called the altar, Witness, For it is a witness between us that Jehovah is God.

vw@Joshua:23:1 @ Now it came to pass, many days after Jehovah had given rest to Israel from all their enemies round about, that Joshua had grown old and advanced in age.

vw@Joshua:23:2 @ And Joshua summoned all Israel, their elders, their heads, their judges, and their officers, and said to them: I have become old and advanced in age.

vw@Joshua:23:3 @ You have seen all that Jehovah your God has done to all these nations because of you, for Jehovah your God is He who was fighting for you.

vw@Joshua:23:5 @ And Jehovah your God will thrust them out before you and dispossess them before your faces. Thus you shall possess their land, as Jehovah your God has spoken to you.

vw@Joshua:23:6 @ Therefore be very courageous to keep and to do all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, that you not turn aside from it to the right hand or to the left,

vw@Joshua:23:8 @ but you shall cleave unto Jehovah your God, as you have done to this day.

vw@Joshua:23:9 @ For Jehovah has driven out before you great and mighty nations; but as for you, no one has been able to stand before you to this day.

vw@Joshua:23:10 @ One man of you shall chase a thousand, for Jehovah your God is He who is fighting for you, as He has spoken to you.

vw@Joshua:23:13 @ know and understand that Jehovah your God will no longer dispossess these nations before you. But they shall be snares and traps to you, and scourges on your sides and thorns in your eyes, until you perish from this good land which Jehovah your God has given to you.

vw@Joshua:23:14 @ Behold, this day I am going the way of all the earth. And you know in all your hearts and in all your souls that not one thing has failed of all the good things which Jehovah your God has spoken concerning you. All of them have come to pass for you; not one word of them has failed.

vw@Joshua:23:15 @ Therefore it shall come to pass, that as all the good things have come upon you which Jehovah your God has spoken to you, so Jehovah will bring upon you every evil thing, to destroy you from this good land which Jehovah your God has given to you.

vw@Joshua:23:16 @ When you have transgressed the covenant of Jehovah your God, which He has commanded you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed down to them, then the anger of Jehovah will burn against you, and you shall perish quickly from off the good land which He has given to you.

vw@Joshua:24:1 @ And Joshua gathered all the tribes of Israel to Shechem and summoned the elders of Israel, their heads, their judges, and their officers; and they presented themselves before God.

vw@Joshua:24:2 @ And Joshua said to all the people, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: Your fathers (Terah, the father of Abraham and of Nahor) dwelt on the other side of the River in ancient times; and they served other gods.

vw@Joshua:24:3 @ And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the River, led him throughout all the land of Canaan, and multiplied his seed and gave him Isaac.

vw@Joshua:24:4 @ To Isaac I gave Jacob and Esau. To Esau I gave the mountains of Seir to possess, but Jacob and his sons went down to Egypt.

vw@Joshua:24:9 @ Then Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, arose to make war against Israel, and sent and called Balaam the son of Beor to curse you.

vw@Joshua:24:10 @ But I was not willing to heed Balaam; therefore he continued to bless you. And I delivered you out of his hand.

vw@Joshua:24:15 @ And if it seems evil to you to serve Jehovah, choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve, whether the gods which your fathers have served that were on the other side of the River, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are living. But as for me and my house, we will serve Jehovah.

vw@Joshua:24:17 @ for Jehovah our God is He who brought us and our fathers up out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage, who has done those great signs before our eyes, and preserved us in all the way that we have gone and among all the people through whom we have passed.

vw@Joshua:24:18 @ And Jehovah drove out before us all the people, including the Amorites who were living in the land. We also will serve Jehovah, for He is our God.

vw@Joshua:24:19 @ And Joshua said to the people, You cannot serve Jehovah, for He is a holy God. He is a jealous Mighty God; He will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.

vw@Joshua:24:23 @ Now therefore, he said, put away the foreign gods which are among you, and incline your heart unto Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@Joshua:24:24 @ And the people said to Joshua, Jehovah our God we will serve, and His voice we will obey!

vw@Joshua:24:25 @ So Joshua made a covenant with the people that day, and established for them a statute and an ordinance in Shechem.

vw@Joshua:24:27 @ And Joshua said to all the people, Behold, this stone shall be a witness to us, for it has heard all the words of Jehovah which He has spoken to us. It shall therefore be a witness to you, lest you deny your God.

vw@Joshua:24:28 @ So Joshua sent the people away, each to his inheritance.

vw@Joshua:24:30 @ And they buried him within the border of his inheritance at Timnath Serah, in the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash.

vw@Joshua:24:31 @ And Israel served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders whose days were prolonged after Joshua, who had known all the works of Jehovah which He had done for Israel.

vw@Joshua:24:32 @ And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel had brought up out of Egypt, they buried at Shechem, in the plot of ground which Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for one hundred pieces of silver, and which had become an inheritance of the sons of Joseph.

vw@Joshua:24:33 @ And Eleazar the son of Aaron died; and they buried him in a hill belonging to Phinehas his son, which had been given to him in the mountains of Ephraim.

vw@Judges:1:1 @ Now after the death of Joshua it came to pass that the children of Israel asked Jehovah, saying, Who shall first go up for us against the Canaanites to fight against them?

vw@Judges:1:2 @ And Jehovah said, Judah shall go up. Behold I have delivered the land into his hand.

vw@Judges:1:3 @ And Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me to my allotted territory, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I will likewise go with you to your allotted territory. And Simeon went with him.

vw@Judges:1:6 @ And Adoni-Bezek fled, and they pursued him and caught him and cut off his thumbs and big toes.

vw@Judges:1:13 @ And Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother, took it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah as wife.

vw@Judges:1:14 @ And it happened, when she came to him, that she urged him to ask her father for a field. And she dismounted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, What do you wish?

vw@Judges:1:17 @ And Judah went with his brother Simeon, and they struck the Canaanites who inhabited Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. So the name of the city was called Hormah.

vw@Judges:1:19 @ Thus Jehovah was with Judah. And they dispossessed the mountains, but they could not drive out the inhabitants of the lowland, because they had chariots of iron.

vw@Judges:1:20 @ And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said. And he dispossessed from there the three sons of Anak.

vw@Judges:1:21 @ But the sons of Benjamin did not drive out the Jebusites who inhabited Jerusalem; but the Jebusites dwell with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem to this day.

vw@Judges:1:25 @ So he showed them the entrance to the city, and they struck the city with the edge of the sword; but they let the man and all his family go.

vw@Judges:1:26 @ And the man went to the land of the Hittites, built a city, and called its name Luz, which is its name to this day.

vw@Judges:1:28 @ And it came to pass, when Israel had become strong, that they put the Canaanites to tribute, but did not drive out to dispossess them.

vw@Judges:2:2 @ And you shall make no covenant with the inhabitants of this land; you shall pull down their altars. But you have not obeyed My voice. Why have you done this?

vw@Judges:2:4 @ And it came about, when the Angel of Jehovah spoke these words to all the children of Israel, that the people lifted up their voices and wept.

vw@Judges:2:6 @ And when Joshua had dismissed the people, the children of Israel went each to his own inheritance to possess the land.

vw@Judges:2:7 @ Thus the people served Jehovah all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who prolonged their days after Joshua, who had seen all the great works of Jehovah which He had done for Israel.

vw@Judges:2:9 @ And they buried him within the border of his inheritance at Timnath Heres, in the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash.

vw@Judges:2:10 @ When all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who had not known Jehovah nor the work which He had done for Israel.

vw@Judges:2:11 @ And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and served the Baals;

vw@Judges:2:14 @ And the anger of Jehovah burned against Israel, and He delivered them into the hands of plunderers who plundered them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.

vw@Judges:2:15 @ Wherever they went out, the hand of Jehovah was against them for evil, as Jehovah had said, and as Jehovah had sworn to them. And they were greatly distressed.

vw@Judges:2:16 @ Nevertheless, Jehovah raised up judges who delivered them out of the hand of those who plundered them.

vw@Judges:2:18 @ And when Jehovah raised up judges for them, Jehovah was with the judge and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for Jehovah was moved to pity before their groaning because of those oppressing and thrusting at them.

vw@Judges:2:20 @ And the anger of Jehovah burned against Israel; and He said, Because this nation has transgressed My covenant which I have commanded their fathers, and has not obeyed My voice,

vw@Judges:2:22 @ so that through them I may test Israel, whether they will keep the way of Jehovah, to walk in it as their fathers have kept it, or not.

vw@Judges:3:1 @ Now these are the nations which Jehovah left, that He might test Israel by them, that is, all who had not known any of the wars in Canaan

vw@Judges:3:2 @ (only so that the generations of the sons of Israel might be taught to know war, at least those who had not formerly known it),

vw@Judges:3:3 @ namely, five lords of the Philistines, all the Canaanites, the Sidonians, and the Hivites who dwelt in Mount Lebanon, from Mount Baal Hermon to the entrance of Hamath.

vw@Judges:3:4 @ And they were left, that He might test Israel by them, to know whether they would obey the commandments of Jehovah, which He had commanded their fathers by the hand of Moses.

vw@Judges:3:5 @ Thus the children of Israel dwelt among the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

vw@Judges:3:7 @ And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of Jehovah. They forgot Jehovah their God, and served the Baals and groves.

vw@Judges:3:8 @ Therefore the anger of Jehovah burned against Israel, and He sold them into the hand of Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel served Cushan-Rishathaim eight years.

vw@Judges:3:9 @ And when the children of Israel cried out unto Jehovah, Jehovah raised up a deliverer for the children of Israel, who delivered them: Othniel the son of Kenaz, Caleb’s younger brother.

vw@Judges:3:10 @ And the Spirit of Jehovah came upon him, and he judged Israel. He went out to war, and Jehovah delivered Cushan-Rishathaim king of Mesopotamia into his hand; and his hand prevailed over Cushan-Rishathaim.

vw@Judges:3:12 @ And the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of Jehovah. So Jehovah strengthened Eglon king of Moab against Israel, because they had done evil in the eyes of Jehovah.

vw@Judges:3:13 @ And he gathered to himself the sons of Ammon and Amalek, went and struck Israel, and took possession of the City of Palm Trees.

vw@Judges:3:14 @ And the children of Israel served Eglon king of Moab eighteen years.

vw@Judges:3:15 @ And when the children of Israel cried out unto Jehovah, Jehovah raised up a deliverer for them: Ehud the son of Gera, the Benjamite, a man with his right hand impeded. By him the children of Israel sent tribute to Eglon king of Moab.

vw@Judges:3:16 @ Now Ehud made himself a sword (it was double-edged and a cubit in length) and girded it under his clothes on his right thigh.

vw@Judges:3:18 @ And when he had finished presenting the tribute, he sent away the people who were carrying the tribute.

vw@Judges:3:20 @ And Ehud came to him (now he was sitting upstairs in his cool roof chamber). And Ehud said, I have a word from God for you. So he arose from his seat.

vw@Judges:3:21 @ And Ehud reached with his left hand, took the sword from his right thigh, and thrust it into his belly.

vw@Judges:3:22 @ And the hilt went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the sword out of his belly; and his excrement came out.

vw@Judges:3:24 @ And when he had gone out, his servants came to look, and behold, the doors of the upper room were locked. And they thought, Surely he is covering his feet in the cool chamber.

vw@Judges:3:27 @ And it happened, when he arrived, that he blew the shofar in the mountains of Ephraim, and the sons of Israel came down with him from the mountains, with him before them.

vw@Judges:3:30 @ So Moab was subdued that day under the hand of Israel. And the land had rest eighty years.

vw@Judges:3:31 @ After him was Shamgar the son of Anath, who struck six hundred men of the Philistines with an ox goad; and he also delivered Israel.

vw@Judges:4:1 @ When Ehud was dead, the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of Jehovah.

vw@Judges:4:2 @ And Jehovah sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was Sisera, who dwelt in Harosheth Hagoyim.

vw@Judges:4:3 @ And the children of Israel cried out unto Jehovah; for he had nine hundred chariots of iron, and for twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel.

vw@Judges:4:4 @ Now Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, was judging Israel at that time.

vw@Judges:4:5 @ And she was dwelling under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the mountains of Ephraim. And the children of Israel went up to her for judgment.

vw@Judges:4:6 @ And she sent and summoned Barak the son of Abinoam from Kedesh in Naphtali, and said to him, Has not Jehovah the God of Israel commanded: Go and proceed to Mount Tabor; take with you ten thousand men of the sons of Naphtali and of the sons of Zebulun;

vw@Judges:4:7 @ and I will draw out to you Sisera, the commander of Jabin’s army, with his chariots and his multitude at the River Kishon; and I will deliver him into your hand.

vw@Judges:4:9 @ And she said, I will walk to go with you; nevertheless there will be no glory for you in the journey you are taking, for Jehovah will sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose and went with Barak to Kedesh.

vw@Judges:4:10 @ And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; he went up with ten thousand men at his feet, and Deborah went up with him.

vw@Judges:4:11 @ Now Heber the Kenite, of the children of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, separated himself from the Kenites and pitched his tent near the plain at Zaanaim, near Kedesh.

vw@Judges:4:12 @ And they reported to Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam had gone up to Mount Tabor.

vw@Judges:4:13 @ And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth Hagoyim to the River Kishon.

vw@Judges:4:14 @ And Deborah said to Barak, Up! For this is the day in which Jehovah has delivered Sisera into your hand. Has not Jehovah gone out before you? So Barak went down from Mount Tabor with ten thousand men behind him.

vw@Judges:4:15 @ And Jehovah routed Sisera and all his chariots and all his army with the edge of the sword before Barak; and Sisera alighted from his chariot and fled away on foot.

vw@Judges:4:16 @ But Barak pursued the chariots and the army as far as Harosheth Hagoyim, and all the army of Sisera fell by the edge of the sword; not one was left.

vw@Judges:4:17 @ However, Sisera had fled away on foot to the tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite; for there was peace between Jabin king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite.

vw@Judges:4:18 @ And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said to him, Turn aside, my lord, turn aside to me; do not fear. And when he had turned aside to her into the tent, she covered him with a blanket.

vw@Judges:4:20 @ And he said to her, Stand at the door of the tent, and if any man comes and inquires of you, and says, Is there any man here? you shall say, No.

vw@Judges:4:21 @ Then Jael, Heber’s wife, took a tent peg and took a hammer in her hand, and went softly to him and drove the peg into his temple, and it went down into the ground; for he was fast asleep and weary. Thus he died.

vw@Judges:4:22 @ And behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said to him, Come, I will show you the man whom you are seeking. And when he went into her tent, behold, Sisera was lying dead with the peg in his temple.

vw@Judges:4:23 @ So on that day God subdued Jabin king of Canaan before the sons of Israel.

vw@Judges:4:24 @ And the hand of the sons of Israel continued and proceeded to grow stronger against Jabin king of Canaan, until they had cut off Jabin king of Canaan.

vw@Judges:5:2 @ When commanders lead in Israel, when the people willingly offer themselves, bless Jehovah!

vw@Judges:5:3 @ Hear, O kings! Give ear, O princes! I, even I, will sing unto Jehovah; I will make music unto Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@Judges:5:5 @ the mountains flowed before Jehovah, this Sinai, before Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@Judges:5:7 @ Village life ceased, it ceased in Israel, until I, Deborah, arose, arose a mother in Israel.

vw@Judges:5:8 @ They chose new gods; then there was war in the gates; not a shield or spear was seen among forty thousand in Israel.

vw@Judges:5:9 @ My heart is with the governors of Israel who offered themselves willingly among the people. Bless Jehovah!

vw@Judges:5:11 @ At the sound where they divide the flocks among the places to draw water, there they shall recount the righteous acts of Jehovah, the righteous acts to His village dwellers in Israel; then the people of Jehovah shall go down to the gates.

vw@Judges:5:12 @ Awake, awake, Deborah! Awake, awake, utter a song! Arise, Barak, and lead your captives captive, O son of Abinoam!

vw@Judges:5:15 @ And the commanders of Issachar were with Deborah; as was Issachar, so was Barak, sent on foot into the valley. Among the divisions of Reuben there were great resolves of heart.

vw@Judges:5:16 @ Why did you sit among the sheepfolds, to hear the pipings for the flocks? At the divisions of Reuben were great searchings of heart.

vw@Judges:5:17 @ Gilead stayed beyond the Jordan, and why did Dan remain on ships? Asher continued at the seashore, and stayed by his landings.

vw@Judges:5:18 @ Zebulun is a people who jeopardized their souls even to death, Naphtali also, on the heights of the field.

vw@Judges:5:20 @ They fought from the heavens; the stars from their courses fought against Sisera.

vw@Judges:5:21 @ The torrent of Kishon swept them away, that ancient torrent, the torrent of Kishon. O my soul, tread on in strength!

vw@Judges:5:22 @ Then the horses’ hooves pounded, the galloping, galloping of his steeds.

vw@Judges:5:24 @ Most blessed among women is Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite; blessed is she among women in the tent.

vw@Judges:5:26 @ She stretched her hand to the tent peg, her right hand to the workman’s hammer; she has hammered Sisera, she has destroyed his head, she has pierced and struck through his temple.

vw@Judges:5:28 @ The mother of Sisera has looked through the window, and cried out through the lattice, Why has his chariot delayed to come? Why have the hoof beats of his chariot waited?

vw@Judges:5:29 @ Her wise ladies answered her, Yea, she answers herself:

vw@Judges:5:30 @ Are they not finding and dividing the spoils: to each chief warrior a girl to love; for Sisera, plunder of dyed garments, plunder of garments embroidered and dyed, two pieces of dyed embroidery for the necks of the plunderers?

vw@Judges:5:31 @ Thus let all Your enemies perish, O Jehovah! But let those who love Him be like the sun when it goes forth in its might. Thus the land was quiet forty years.

vw@Judges:6:1 @ And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of Jehovah. So Jehovah delivered them into the hand of Midian seven years,

vw@Judges:6:2 @ and the hand of Midian prevailed against Israel. In the face of the Midianites, the children of Israel made for themselves the dens, the caves, and the strongholds which are in the mountains.

vw@Judges:6:3 @ So it was that when Israel had sown, the Midianites would come up; also Amalekites and the sons of the East would come up against them.

vw@Judges:6:4 @ And they would encamp against them and destroy the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, and leave no sustenance for Israel, neither sheep nor ox nor donkey.

vw@Judges:6:6 @ And Israel was brought exceedingly low before Midian, and the children of Israel cried out unto Jehovah.

vw@Judges:6:7 @ And it came to pass, when the children of Israel cried out to Jehovah because of the Midianites,

vw@Judges:6:8 @ that Jehovah sent a man who was a prophet unto the children of Israel, who said to them, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: I have brought you up from Egypt and brought you out of the house of bondage;

vw@Judges:6:11 @ And the Angel of Jehovah came and sat under the terebinth tree which was in Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon was threshing wheat in the winepress, in order to hide it from before the Midianites.

vw@Judges:6:12 @ And the Angel of Jehovah appeared to him, and said to him, Jehovah is with you, you mighty man of valor!

vw@Judges:6:13 @ Gideon said to Him, O my lord, if Jehovah is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all His miracles which our fathers told us about, saying, Did not Jehovah bring us up from Egypt? But now Jehovah has forsaken us and delivered us into the hands of the Midianites.

vw@Judges:6:14 @ And Jehovah turned to him and said, Go in this might of yours, and you shall deliver Israel from the hand of the Midianites. Have I not sent you?

vw@Judges:6:15 @ And he said to Him, O my Lord, how can I deliver Israel? Behold my company is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father’s house.

vw@Judges:6:17 @ And he said to Him, If now I have found favor in Your eyes, then perform a sign for me, that it is You speaking with me.

vw@Judges:6:20 @ And the Angel of God said to him, Take the flesh and the unleavened bread and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did so.

vw@Judges:6:21 @ Then the Angel of Jehovah put forth the end of the staff that was in His hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened bread; and fire rose up out of the rock and consumed the flesh and the unleavened bread. And the Angel of Jehovah departed out of his sight.

vw@Judges:6:24 @ And Gideon built an altar there unto Jehovah, and called it Jehovah Shalom. To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

vw@Judges:6:25 @ Now it came to pass the same night, that Jehovah said to him, Take your father’s young bull, the second bull of seven years old, and tear down the altar of Baal that your father has, and chop down the grove that is beside it;

vw@Judges:6:26 @ and build an altar unto Jehovah your God on top of this rock in the proper arrangement, and take the second bull and offer a burnt offering with the wood of the grove which you shall chop down.

vw@Judges:6:27 @ And Gideon took ten men from among his servants and did as Jehovah had spoken to him. But because he feared his father’s household and the men of the city too much to do it by day, he did it by night.

vw@Judges:6:29 @ And they said to one another, Who has done this thing? And when they had inquired and asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash has done this thing.

vw@Judges:6:31 @ And Joash said to all who stood against him, Would you plead for Baal? Would you deliver him? Let the one who would plead for him be put to death by morning! If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because his altar has been torn down!

vw@Judges:6:32 @ Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal contend against him, because he has torn down his altar.

vw@Judges:6:36 @ And Gideon said to God, If You are delivering Israel by my hand as You have said,

vw@Judges:6:37 @ behold, I am putting a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I shall know that You will deliver Israel by my hand, as You have spoken.

vw@Judges:7:1 @ Then Jerubbaal (that is, Gideon) and all the people who were with him arose early and encamped beside the well of Harod, so that the camp of the Midianites was on the north side of them by the hill of Moreh in the valley.

vw@Judges:7:2 @ And Jehovah said to Gideon, The people who are with you are too many for Me to give the Midianites into their hands, that Israel not glorify itself against Me, saying, My own hand has delivered me.

vw@Judges:7:3 @ Now therefore, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whoever is fearful and trembling, let him turn back and depart early from Mount Gilead. And twenty-two thousand of the people returned, and ten thousand remained.

vw@Judges:7:4 @ And Jehovah said to Gideon, The people are still too many; bring them down to the water, and I will test them for you there. And it shall be, that of whom I say to you, This one shall go with you, the same shall go with you; and of whomever I say to you, This one shall not go with you, the same shall not go.

vw@Judges:7:5 @ So he brought the people down to the water. And Jehovah said to Gideon, Everyone who laps from the water with his tongue, as a dog laps, you shall set apart by himself; likewise everyone who bows down on his knees to drink.

vw@Judges:7:7 @ And Jehovah said to Gideon, By the three hundred men who lapped I will deliver you, and deliver the Midianites into your hand. Let all the other people go, every man to his place.

vw@Judges:7:8 @ So the people took provisions and their shofars in their hands. And he sent away all the rest of Israel, every man to his tent, and retained those three hundred men. Now the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.

vw@Judges:7:9 @ And it came to pass on the same night that Jehovah said to him, Rise up, go down against the camp, for I have delivered it into your hand.

vw@Judges:7:11 @ and you shall hear what they say; and afterward your hands shall be strengthened to go down against the camp. And he went down with Purah his servant to the extremity of the armed men who were in the camp.

vw@Judges:7:13 @ And when Gideon came, there was a man telling a dream to his companion. He said, I have dreamed a dream: Behold, a loaf of barley bread tumbled into the camp of Midian; it came to a tent and struck it so that it fell and overturned, and the tent lay flat.

vw@Judges:7:14 @ And his companion answered and said, This is nothing else but the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel! Into his hand God has delivered Midian and the whole camp.

vw@Judges:7:15 @ And so it was, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream and its interpretation, that he bowed down. He returned to the camp of Israel, and said, Arise, for Jehovah has delivered the camp of Midian into your hand.

vw@Judges:7:17 @ And he said to them, Look at me and do likewise; and behold, when I come to the edge of the camp you shall do as I do:

vw@Judges:7:21 @ And each man stood in his place all around the camp; and the whole army ran and cried out and fled.

vw@Judges:7:22 @ And when the three hundred blew the shofars, Jehovah set every man’s sword against his companion throughout the whole camp; and the army fled to Beth Acacia, toward Zererah, as far as the border of Abel Meholah, by Tabbath.

vw@Judges:7:23 @ And the men of Israel gathered together from Naphtali, Asher, and all Manasseh, and chased after the Midianites.

vw@Judges:8:1 @ Now the men of Ephraim said to him, Why have you done this to us by not calling us when you went to fight with the Midianites? And they strongly complained against him.

vw@Judges:8:2 @ So he said to them, What have I done now in comparison to you? Is not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer?

vw@Judges:8:3 @ God has delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb. And what was I able to do in comparison to you? Then their anger toward him subsided when he spoke those words.

vw@Judges:8:9 @ So he also spoke to the men of Penuel, saying, When I come back in peace, I will tear down this tower!

vw@Judges:8:13 @ Then Gideon the son of Joash returned from battle at sunrise.

vw@Judges:8:20 @ And he said to Jether his firstborn, Rise up and kill them! But the youth would not draw his sword; for he was afraid, because he was still a youth.

vw@Judges:8:21 @ So Zebah and Zalmunna said, Rise up yourself, and kill us; for as a man is, so is his strength. So Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescent ornaments that were on their camels’ necks.

vw@Judges:8:22 @ Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, Rule over us, both you and your son, and your son’s son also; for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian.

vw@Judges:8:24 @ And Gideon said to them, I would make a request of you, that each of you would give me the earrings from his plunder. For they had gold earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.

vw@Judges:8:25 @ And they answered, We will extend to give them. And they spread out a garment, and each man threw into it the earrings from his plunder.

vw@Judges:8:27 @ And Gideon made it into an ephod and set it up in his city, Ophrah. And all Israel committed adultery with it there. It became a snare to Gideon and to his house.

vw@Judges:8:28 @ Thus Midian was subdued before the sons of Israel, so that they lifted their heads no more. And the land was quiet for forty years in the days of Gideon.

vw@Judges:8:29 @ And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went and dwelt in his own house.

vw@Judges:8:30 @ And Gideon had seventy sons proceeding from his loins, for he had many wives.

vw@Judges:8:31 @ And his concubine in Shechem also bore him a son, whose name he called Abimelech.

vw@Judges:8:32 @ And Gideon the son of Joash died at a good old age, and was buried in the tomb of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

vw@Judges:8:33 @ And it came to pass, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the children of Israel turned back and committed adultery with the Baals, and established Baal-Berith as their god.

vw@Judges:8:34 @ Thus the children of Israel did not remember Jehovah their God, who had delivered them out of the hands of all their enemies all around;

vw@Judges:8:35 @ nor did they show kindness to the house of Jerubbaal (Gideon) according to all the good he had done for Israel.

vw@Judges:9:1 @ Then Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem, to his mother’s brothers, and spoke with them and with all the family of the house of his mother’s father, saying,

vw@Judges:9:2 @ Please speak in the ears of all the lords of Shechem: Which is better for you, for all seventy of the sons of Jerubbaal to rule over you, or for one to rule over you? Remember that I am your own flesh and bone.

vw@Judges:9:3 @ And his mother’s brothers spoke all these words concerning him in the ears of all the lords of Shechem; and their heart was inclined after Abimelech, for they said, He is our brother.

vw@Judges:9:5 @ And he went to his father’s house at Ophrah and killed his brothers, the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, on one stone. But Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left, because he had hidden himself.

vw@Judges:9:7 @ Now when they told Jotham, he went and stood on top of Mount Gerizim, and lifted his voice and cried out. And he said to them: Listen to me, you lords of Shechem, that God may listen to you!

vw@Judges:9:16 @ Now therefore, if you have acted in truth and sincerity in making Abimelech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have done to him according to the dealings of his hands;

vw@Judges:9:17 @ for my father fought for you, cast aside his own soul, and delivered you out of the hand of Midian;

vw@Judges:9:18 @ but you have risen up against my father’s house this day, and killed his seventy sons on one stone, and made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the lords of Shechem, because he is your brother;

vw@Judges:9:19 @ if then you have dealt in truth and integrity towards Jerubbaal and with his house this day, then rejoice in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you.

vw@Judges:9:21 @ And Jotham fled and escaped; and he went to Beer and dwelt there, away from the face of Abimelech his brother.

vw@Judges:9:22 @ After Abimelech had reigned over Israel three years,

vw@Judges:9:24 @ that the wrong done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might be settled and their blood be laid upon Abimelech their brother, who killed them, and upon the lords of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to kill his brothers.

vw@Judges:9:26 @ Now Gaal the son of Ebed came with his brothers and went over to Shechem; and the lords of Shechem trusted him.

vw@Judges:9:28 @ And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal, and is not Zebul his officer? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem; but why should we serve him?

vw@Judges:9:29 @ Would therefore that this people were given into my hand! Then I would remove Abimelech. So he said to Abimelech, Increase your army and come out!

vw@Judges:9:30 @ And when Zebul, the ruler of the city, heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his anger burned.

vw@Judges:9:31 @ And he sent messengers to Abimelech deceitfully, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his brothers have come to Shechem; and behold, they are fortifying the city against you.

vw@Judges:9:32 @ Now therefore, rise up by night, you and the people with you, and lie in wait in the field.

vw@Judges:9:33 @ And it shall be in the morning as the sun rises, that you shall rise up early and rush upon the city; and when he and the people with him come out against you, you shall do to them as your hand shall find to do.

vw@Judges:9:37 @ And Gaal spoke again and said, Behold, people are coming down from the midst of the land, and another company is coming from the plain by way of the fortunetellers.

vw@Judges:9:38 @ Then Zebul said to him, Where indeed is your mouth now, with which you said, Who is Abimelech, that we should serve him? Are not these the people whom you have despised? Go out now and fight with them.

vw@Judges:9:41 @ Then Abimelech dwelt at Arumah, and Zebul drove out Gaal and his brothers, so as to not dwell in Shechem.

vw@Judges:9:43 @ And he took his people, divided them into three companies, and lay in wait in the field, watching. And behold, the people were coming out of the city; and he rose up against them and struck them.

vw@Judges:9:48 @ And Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people with him. And Abimelech took an ax in his hand and cut down a bough from the trees, and took it and laid it on his shoulder; then he said to the people with him, What you have seen me do, make haste and do as I have done.

vw@Judges:9:49 @ So each of the people likewise cut down his own bough and followed Abimelech, put them against the stronghold, and set the stronghold on fire over them, so that all the people of the tower of Shechem died, about a thousand men and women.

vw@Judges:9:53 @ And a certain woman dropped an upper millstone on Abimelech’s head and crushed his skull.

vw@Judges:9:54 @ And he called quickly to the young man, his armorbearer, and said to him, Draw your sword and kill me, that they not say of me, A woman killed him. So his young man thrust him through, and he died.

vw@Judges:9:55 @ And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they departed, every man to his place.

vw@Judges:9:56 @ Thus God repaid the wickedness of Abimelech, which he had done to his father by killing his seventy brothers.

vw@Judges:10:1 @ After Abimelech there arose to deliver Israel Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar; and he dwelt in Shamir in the mountains of Ephraim.

vw@Judges:10:2 @ He judged Israel twenty-three years; and he died and was buried in Shamir.

vw@Judges:10:3 @ After him arose Jair, a Gileadite; and he judged Israel twenty-two years.

vw@Judges:10:4 @ And he had thirty sons who rode on thirty donkeys; they also had thirty towns, which are called Havoth Jair to this day, which are in the land of Gilead.

vw@Judges:10:6 @ And the children of Israel again did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and served the Baals and Ashtaroth, the gods of Syria, the gods of Sidon, the gods of Moab, the gods of the children of Ammon, and the gods of the Philistines; and they forsook Jehovah and did not serve Him.

vw@Judges:10:7 @ So the anger of Jehovah burned against Israel; and He sold them into the hands of the Philistines and into the hands of the sons of Ammon.

vw@Judges:10:8 @ And that year they shattered and oppressed the children of Israel; for eighteen years, all the children of Israel who were on the other side of the Jordan in the land of the Amorites, in Gilead.

vw@Judges:10:9 @ Moreover the sons of Ammon also crossed over the Jordan to fight against Judah, against Benjamin, and against the house of Ephraim, so that Israel was greatly distressed.

vw@Judges:10:10 @ And the children of Israel cried out unto Jehovah, saying, We have sinned against You, because we have both forsaken our God and served the Baals!

vw@Judges:10:11 @ So Jehovah said to the children of Israel, Did I not deliver you from the Egyptians and from the Amorites and from the sons of Ammon and from the Philistines?

vw@Judges:10:14 @ Go and cry out to the gods which you have chosen; let them deliver you in your time of distress.

vw@Judges:10:15 @ And the children of Israel said to Jehovah, We have sinned! Do to us whatever seems good in Your eyes; only deliver us this day, we pray.

vw@Judges:10:16 @ And they put away the foreign gods from among them and served Jehovah. And His soul was grieved because of Israel’s troubles.

vw@Judges:10:17 @ Then the sons of Ammon gathered together and encamped in Gilead. And the sons of Israel assembled together and encamped in Mizpah.

vw@Judges:10:18 @ And the people, the rulers of Gilead, said to one another, Who is the man who will begin the fight against the sons of Ammon? He shall be head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.

vw@Judges:11:2 @ Gilead’s wife bore sons; and when his wife’s sons grew up, they drove Jephthah out, and said to him, You shall have no inheritance in our father’s house, for you are the son of another woman.

vw@Judges:11:3 @ And Jephthah fled from before his brothers and dwelt in the land of Tob; and worthless men collected around Jephthah and went out with him.

vw@Judges:11:4 @ It came to pass after a time that the sons of Ammon made war against Israel.

vw@Judges:11:5 @ And so it was, when the sons of Ammon made war against Israel, that the elders of Gilead went to get Jephthah from the land of Tob.

vw@Judges:11:7 @ So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, Did you not hate me, and drive me out of my father’s house? Why have you come to me now when you are in distress?

vw@Judges:11:8 @ And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, That is why we have turned again to you now, that you may go with us and fight against the sons of Ammon, and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead.

vw@Judges:11:10 @ And the elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, Jehovah is witness between us, if we do not do according to your words.

vw@Judges:11:11 @ Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, and the people made him head and commander over them; and Jephthah spoke all his words before Jehovah in Mizpah.

vw@Judges:11:13 @ And the king of the children of Ammon answered the messengers of Jephthah, Because Israel took away my land when they came up out of Egypt, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok, and to the Jordan. Now therefore, restore those lands peaceably.

vw@Judges:11:15 @ and said to him, Thus says Jephthah: Israel did not take the land of Moab, nor the land of the children of Ammon;

vw@Judges:11:16 @ for when Israel came up from Egypt, they walked through the wilderness as far as the Red Sea and came to Kadesh.

vw@Judges:11:17 @ Then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, Please let me pass through your land. But the king of Edom would not heed. And in like manner they sent to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained in Kadesh.

vw@Judges:11:19 @ Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, Please let us pass through your land into our place.

vw@Judges:11:20 @ But Sihon did not trust Israel to pass through his territory. So Sihon gathered all his people together, encamped in Jahaz, and fought against Israel.

vw@Judges:11:21 @ And Jehovah the God of Israel delivered Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, and they struck them. Thus Israel gained possession of all the land of the Amorites, who inhabited that land.

vw@Judges:11:23 @ And now Jehovah the God of Israel has dispossessed the Amorites before His people Israel; should you then possess it?

vw@Judges:11:24 @ Will you not possess whatever Chemosh your god gives you to possess? Thus, whatever Jehovah our God dispossesses before us, we will possess.

vw@Judges:11:25 @ And now, are you any better than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever strive against Israel? Did he ever fight against them?

vw@Judges:11:26 @ While Israel dwelt in Heshbon and its villages, in Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities along the banks of the Arnon, for three hundred years, why have you not recovered them within that time?

vw@Judges:11:27 @ Therefore I have not sinned against you, but you are wronging me by fighting against me. May Jehovah, the Judge, render judgment this day between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon.

vw@Judges:11:32 @ So Jephthah passed over toward the sons of Ammon to fight against them, and Jehovah delivered them into his hands.

vw@Judges:11:33 @ And he struck them from Aroer as far as Minnith; twenty cities; and to Abel Keramim, with a very great slaughter. Thus the sons of Ammon were subdued before the sons of Israel.

vw@Judges:11:34 @ And when Jephthah came to his house at Mizpah, behold, his daughter was coming out to meet him with timbrels and dancing; and she was his only child. Besides her he had neither son nor daughter.

vw@Judges:11:35 @ And it came to pass when he saw her, that he tore his clothes and said, Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low! You are among those who trouble me! For I have given my word unto Jehovah, and I cannot go back on it.

vw@Judges:11:37 @ And she said to her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone for two months, that I may go and wander on the mountains and bewail my virginity, my friends and I.

vw@Judges:11:39 @ And it was so at the end of two months that she returned to her father, and he did to her according to the vow which he had vowed. She had known no man. And it became a custom in Israel,

vw@Judges:11:40 @ that the daughters of Israel went four days each year, year after year, to recount the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite.

vw@Judges:12:3 @ So when I saw that you would not deliver me, I put my soul into my hands and crossed over against the sons of Ammon; and Jehovah delivered them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day to fight against me?

vw@Judges:12:7 @ And Jephthah judged Israel six years. Then Jephthah the Gileadite died and was buried in one of the cities of Gilead.

vw@Judges:12:8 @ After him, Ibzan of Bethlehem judged Israel.

vw@Judges:12:9 @ He had thirty sons. And he sent thirty daughters in marriage outside, and brought in thirty daughters from outside for his sons. And he judged Israel seven years.

vw@Judges:12:11 @ After him, Elon the Zebulunite judged Israel. He judged Israel ten years.

vw@Judges:12:13 @ After him, Abdon the son of Hillel the Pirathonite judged Israel.

vw@Judges:12:14 @ He had forty sons and thirty grandsons, who rode on seventy young donkeys. And he judged Israel eight years.

vw@Judges:13:1 @ Again the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and Jehovah delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years.

vw@Judges:13:2 @ Now there was a certain man from Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren and had borne no children.

vw@Judges:13:5 @ For behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. And no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite unto God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.

vw@Judges:13:6 @ And the woman came and told her husband, saying, A Man of God has come to me, and His countenance was like the countenance of the Angel of God, very awesome; but I did not ask Him where He was from, and He did not tell me His name.

vw@Judges:13:7 @ And He said to me, Behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. Now drink no wine or strong drink, nor eat anything unclean, for the child shall be a Nazirite unto God from the womb to the day of his death.

vw@Judges:13:8 @ Then Manoah prayed to Jehovah, and said, O my Lord, please let the Man of God whom You sent come to us again and teach us what we shall do for the boy who is to be born.

vw@Judges:13:11 @ And Manoah arose and followed his wife. When he came to the Man, he said to Him, Are You the Man who spoke to the woman? And He said, I am.

vw@Judges:13:12 @ And Manoah said, Now let Your words come to pass! What are the ordinances for the boy, and what are his works?

vw@Judges:13:17 @ And Manoah said to the Angel of Jehovah, What is Your name, that when Your words come to pass we may honor You?

vw@Judges:13:18 @ And the Angel of Jehovah said to him, Why do you ask after My name, seeing it is incomprehensible?

vw@Judges:13:19 @ So Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering, and offered it upon the rock unto Jehovah. And He did an extraordinary thing while Manoah and his wife were watching;

vw@Judges:13:20 @ it happened as the flame went up toward the heavens from the altar; that the Angel of Jehovah ascended in the flame of the altar! And Manoah and his wife were watching this, and they fell on their faces to the ground.

vw@Judges:13:21 @ And the Angel of Jehovah appeared no more to Manoah and his wife. Then Manoah knew that He was the Angel of Jehovah.

vw@Judges:13:22 @ And Manoah said to his wife, We shall die the death, because we have seen God!

vw@Judges:13:23 @ But his wife said to him, If Jehovah had desired to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things, nor would He have told us such things as these at this time.

vw@Judges:13:24 @ And the woman bore a son and called his name Samson; and the child grew, and Jehovah blessed him.

vw@Judges:14:1 @ Now Samson went down to Timnah, and saw a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines.

vw@Judges:14:2 @ So he went up and told his father and mother, saying, I have seen a woman in Timnah of the daughters of the Philistines; now therefore, get her for me as a wife.

vw@Judges:14:3 @ Then his father and mother said to him, Is there no woman among the daughters of your brethren, or among all my people, that you must go and get a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines? And Samson said to his father, Get her for me, for she is pleasing to my eyes.

vw@Judges:14:4 @ But his father and mother did not know that it was of Jehovah, that He was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. For at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.

vw@Judges:14:5 @ So Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother, and came to the vineyards of Timnah. And behold, a young lion came roaring toward him.

vw@Judges:14:6 @ And the Spirit of Jehovah rushed upon him, and he tore the lion apart as one would have torn apart a young goat, though he had nothing in his hand. But he did not tell his father or his mother what he had done.

vw@Judges:14:9 @ And he took some of it in his hands and went along, eating. And when he came to his father and mother, he gave some to them, and they also ate. But he did not tell them that he had taken the honey out of the carcass of the lion.

vw@Judges:14:10 @ So his father went down to the woman. And Samson gave a feast there, for young men usually did this.

vw@Judges:14:15 @ But it came to pass on the seventh day that they said to Samson’s wife, Entice your husband, that he may expound the riddle to us, or else we will burn you and your father’s house with fire. Have you invited us in order to make us poor? Is that not so?

vw@Judges:14:18 @ And the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down: What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them: If you had not plowed with my heifer, you would not have found out my riddle!

vw@Judges:14:19 @ And the Spirit of Jehovah rushed upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon and struck thirty of their men, took their apparel, and gave the changes of clothing to those who had declared the riddle; thus his anger burned. And he went up to his father’s house.

vw@Judges:14:20 @ And Samson’s wife was given to his companion, who had been his best man.

vw@Judges:15:1 @ After some days, in the time of wheat harvest, it happened that Samson visited his wife with a young goat. And he said, Let me go in to my wife, into her room. But her father would not permit him to go in.

vw@Judges:15:2 @ Her father said, I thought in my heart that you hated her like an enemy; therefore I gave her to your companion. Is not her younger sister better than she? Please, take her instead.

vw@Judges:15:3 @ And Samson said to them, This time I shall be blameless regarding the Philistines when I am doing evil to them!

vw@Judges:15:5 @ When he had set the torches on fire, he let the foxes go into the standing grain of the Philistines, and burned up both the shocks and the standing grain, as well as the vineyards and olive groves.

vw@Judges:15:6 @ Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they answered, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he has taken his wife and given her to his companion. So the Philistines came up and burned her and her father with fire.

vw@Judges:15:7 @ And Samson said to them, Since you did a thing like this, I shall avenge myself on you, and after that I will cease.

vw@Judges:15:9 @ And the Philistines went up, encamped in Judah, and were spread out at Lehi.

vw@Judges:15:11 @ Then three thousand men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, Do you not know that the Philistines rule over us? What is this you have done to us? And he said to them, As they did to me, so I have done to them.

vw@Judges:15:12 @ But they said to him, We have come down to bind you, to deliver you into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Swear to me that you will not kill me yourselves.

vw@Judges:15:14 @ When he came to Lehi, the Philistines came shouting against him. And the Spirit of Jehovah rushed upon him; and the ropes that were on his arms became like flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds melted from his hands.

vw@Judges:15:15 @ And he found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, reached out his hand and took it, and struck a thousand men with it.

vw@Judges:15:17 @ And so it was, when he had finished speaking, that he threw the jawbone from his hand, and called that place Ramath Lehi.

vw@Judges:15:18 @ And he became very thirsty; so he cried out to Jehovah and said, You have given this great deliverance by the hand of Your servant; and now shall I die of thirst and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised?

vw@Judges:15:19 @ And God split the hollow place that is in Lehi, and water came out, and he drank; and his spirit returned, and he revived. Therefore he called its name En Hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.

vw@Judges:15:20 @ And he judged Israel twenty years in the days of the Philistines.

vw@Judges:16:2 @ When the Gazites were told, saying, Samson has come here! they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city. They were quiet all night, saying, In the morning, when it is daylight, we shall kill him.

vw@Judges:16:3 @ And Samson lay down till midnight; then he arose at midnight, took hold of the doors of the gate of the city and the two gateposts, pulled them up, bar and all, put them on his shoulders, and carried them to the top of the hill that is before Hebron.

vw@Judges:16:5 @ And the rulers of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, Entice him, and find out where his great strength lies, and by what means we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him; and each of us will give you eleven hundred pieces of silver.

vw@Judges:16:8 @ So the rulers of the Philistines brought up to her seven fresh shoots, not yet dried, and she bound him with them.

vw@Judges:16:9 @ Now men were lying in wait, staying with her in the room. And she said to him, The Philistines are upon you, Samson! But he broke the shoots as a strand of yarn breaks when it touches fire. So the secret of his strength was not known.

vw@Judges:16:12 @ Therefore Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them, and said to him, The Philistines are upon you, Samson! And men were lying in wait, staying in the room. But he broke them off his arms like thread.

vw@Judges:16:14 @ so she wove it tightly with the batten of the loom, and said to him, The Philistines are upon you, Samson! But he awoke from his sleep, and pulled out the batten and the web from the loom.

vw@Judges:16:15 @ Then she said to him, How can you say, I love you, when your heart is not with me? You have mocked me these three times, and have not told me where your great strength lies.

vw@Judges:16:16 @ And it came to pass, when she had pressed upon him daily with her words and urged him, so that his soul was vexed to death,

vw@Judges:16:17 @ that he told her all his heart, and said to her, No razor has ever come upon my head, for I have been a Nazirite unto God from my mother’s womb. If I am shaven, then my strength will leave me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.

vw@Judges:16:18 @ And when Delilah saw that he had told her all his heart, she sent and summoned the rulers of the Philistines, saying, Come up once more, for he has told me all his heart. So the rulers of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hand.

vw@Judges:16:19 @ And she made him sleep on her knees, and called for a man and had him shave off the seven locks of his head. And she began to afflict him, and his strength depart from him.

vw@Judges:16:20 @ And she said, The Philistines are upon you, Samson! So he awoke from his sleep, and thought, I will go out as before, at other times, and shake myself free! But he had not perceived that Jehovah had departed from him.

vw@Judges:16:21 @ And the Philistines took him and bored out his eyes, and brought him down to Gaza. They bound him with bronze fetters, and he was grinding in the prison house.

vw@Judges:16:22 @ However, the hair of his head began to grow again after it had been shaved.

vw@Judges:16:23 @ Now the rulers of the Philistines gathered together to offer a great sacrifice to Dagon their god, and to rejoice. And they said: Our god has delivered Samson our enemy into our hands!

vw@Judges:16:24 @ And when the people saw him, they praised their god; for they said: Our god has delivered into our hands our enemy, the destroyer of our land, and the one who multiplied our dead.

vw@Judges:16:25 @ And it happened, when their hearts were feeling good, that they said, Summon Samson, that he may play for us. So they summoned Samson from the prison house, and he made sport before them. And they made him stand between the pillars.

vw@Judges:16:26 @ And Samson said to the lad who held his hand, Let me feel the pillars which support the house, that I may lean on them.

vw@Judges:16:27 @ Now the house was full of men and women. All the rulers of the Philistines were there; about three thousand men and women on the roof watching while Samson made sport.

vw@Judges:16:28 @ And Samson called out to Jehovah, saying, O Lord Jehovah, remember me, I pray! Strengthen me, I pray, only this once, O God, that I may once take vengeance on the Philistines for my two eyes!

vw@Judges:16:29 @ And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and he braced himself against them, one on his right and the other on his left.

vw@Judges:16:30 @ And Samson said, Let my soul die with the Philistines! And he pushed with all his might, and the house fell upon the rulers and all the people who were in it. So the dead that he killed at his death were more than he had killed in his life.

vw@Judges:16:31 @ And his brothers and all his father’s house came down and took him, and brought him up and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of his father Manoah. He had judged Israel twenty years.

vw@Judges:17:2 @ And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver that were taken from you, and about which you had sworn an oath, even saying it in my ears; behold the silver is with me, I have taken it. And his mother said, Blessed of Jehovah are you, my son!

vw@Judges:17:3 @ So when he had returned the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, his mother said, I had wholly consecrated the silver from my hand unto Jehovah for my son, to make a graven image, and a molten image; now therefore, I will return it to you.

vw@Judges:17:4 @ Thus he returned the silver to his mother. Then his mother took two hundred shekels of silver and gave them to the silversmith, and he made it into a graven image, and a molten image; and they were in the house of Micah.

vw@Judges:17:5 @ And the man Micah had a house of gods, and made an ephod and household idols; and he confirmed the hand of one of his sons, who became his priest.

vw@Judges:17:6 @ In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.

vw@Judges:17:8 @ And the man departed from the city of Bethlehem in Judah to sojourn wherever he could find a place. And he came to the mountains of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, as he made his way.

vw@Judges:17:11 @ And the Levite was content to dwell with the man; and the young man became like one of his sons to him.

vw@Judges:17:12 @ And Micah confirmed the hand of the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.

vw@Judges:18:1 @ In those days there was no king in Israel. And in those days the tribe of the Danites was seeking an inheritance for itself to dwell in; for until that day their inheritance among the tribes of Israel had not fallen to them.

vw@Judges:18:3 @ While they were at the house of Micah, they recognized the voice of the young man, the Levite. And they turned aside and said to him, Who has brought you here? What are you doing in this place? What do you have here?

vw@Judges:18:4 @ And he said to them, Thus and so has Micah done for me. He hired me, and I am his priest.

vw@Judges:18:6 @ And the priest said to them, Go in peace. The way in which you go is before Jehovah.

vw@Judges:18:7 @ So the five men departed and went to Laish. They saw the people who were there, how they dwelt safely, in the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure. There was no possession of restraint putting them to shame for anything. They were far from the Sidonians, and they had no business with anyone.

vw@Judges:18:8 @ And the spies came back to their brethren at Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brethren said to them, What is your report?

vw@Judges:18:9 @ So they said, Arise, let us go up against them. For we have seen the land, and behold it is very good. Will you sit still? Do not be sluggish to go to enter to possess the land.

vw@Judges:18:10 @ When you go, you will come to a secure people and a large land. For God has given it into your hands, a place where there is no lack of anything that is on the earth.

vw@Judges:18:12 @ And they went up and encamped in Kirjath Jearim in Judah. (Therefore they call that place Mahaneh Dan to this day. Behold, it is behind Kirjath Jearim.)

vw@Judges:18:14 @ Then the five men who had gone to spy out the land of Laish answered and said to their brethren, Do you know that there are in these houses an ephod, household idols, a graven image, and a molten image? Now therefore, consider what you should do.

vw@Judges:18:15 @ And they turned aside there, and came to the house of the young Levite man, to the house of Micah, and asked after his welfare.

vw@Judges:18:19 @ And they said to him, Be quiet, put your hand over your mouth, and come with us; be a father and a priest to us. Is it better for you to be a priest to the household of one man, or that you be a priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?

vw@Judges:18:26 @ And the children of Dan went their way. And when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his house.

vw@Judges:18:27 @ And they took what Micah had made, and the priest who had belonged to him, and went to Laish, to a people quiet and secure; and they struck them with the edge of the sword and burned the city with fire.

vw@Judges:18:29 @ And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born to Israel. However, the name of the city formerly was Laish.

vw@Judges:18:30 @ And the children of Dan set up for themselves the graven image; and Jonathan the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, and his sons were priests to the tribe of Dan until the day of the captivity of the land.

vw@Judges:19:1 @ And it came to pass in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite sojourning in the remote areas of the mountains of Ephraim, who took a concubine for himself, a woman from Bethlehem in Judah.

vw@Judges:19:2 @ But his concubine committed adultery against him, and went away from him to her father’s house at Bethlehem in Judah, and was there four months of days.

vw@Judges:19:3 @ And her husband rose up and went after her, to speak to her heart, to bring her back, having his servant and a couple of donkeys with him. So she brought him into her father’s house; and when the father of the young woman saw him, he was glad to meet him.

vw@Judges:19:4 @ And his father-in-law, the young woman’s father, detained him; and he stayed with him three days. So they ate and drank and lodged there.

vw@Judges:19:5 @ And it came to pass on the fourth day that they arose early in the morning, and he rose up to depart; but the young woman’s father said to his son-in-law, Sustain your heart with a morsel of bread, and afterward go your way.

vw@Judges:19:7 @ And when the man rose up to depart, his father-in-law pressed upon him; so he turned back and lodged there.

vw@Judges:19:9 @ And when the man rose up to depart, he and his concubine and his servant, his father-in-law, the young woman’s father, said to him, Behold, the day is now drawing toward evening; please spend the night. Behold, the day is coming to an end; lodge here, that your heart may be merry; and tomorrow go your way early, so that you may go to your tent.

vw@Judges:19:10 @ However, the man was not willing to spend that night; so he rose up and departed, and came to a place opposite Jebus (which is, Jerusalem). With him were the two saddled donkeys; his concubine was also with him.

vw@Judges:19:11 @ They were near Jebus, and the day was far spent; and the servant said to his master, Come, please, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites and lodge in it.

vw@Judges:19:12 @ But his master said to him, We will not turn aside here into a city of foreigners, who are not of the children of Israel; we will go on to Gibeah.

vw@Judges:19:13 @ And he said to his servant, Come, let us draw near to one of these places, and lodge in Gibeah or in Ramah.

vw@Judges:19:15 @ And they turned aside there to go in to lodge in Gibeah. And when he went in, he sat down in the open place of the city, for no one received them into his house to lodge.

vw@Judges:19:16 @ And behold, an old man came in from his work in the field at evening, who also was from the mountains of Ephraim; he was sojourning in Gibeah, whereas the men of the place were Benjamites.

vw@Judges:19:17 @ And when he lifted up his eyes, he saw the traveling man in the open place of the city; and the old man said, Where are you going, and where do you come from?

vw@Judges:19:18 @ And he said to him, We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah toward the remote areas of the mountains of Ephraim; I am from there. I went to Bethlehem in Judah; now I am going to the house of Jehovah. But no one is receiving me into his house,

vw@Judges:19:19 @ even though we have both straw and fodder for our donkeys, and bread and wine for myself, for your handmaid, and for the young man who is with your servant; there is no lack of anything.

vw@Judges:19:21 @ So he brought him into his house, and gave fodder to the donkeys. And they washed their feet, and ate and drank.

vw@Judges:19:23 @ And the man, the master of the house, went out to them and said to them, No, my brethren! I beg you, do not act so wickedly! Seeing this man has come into my house, do not do this disgraceful folly.

vw@Judges:19:24 @ Behold, here is my virgin daughter and his concubine; let me bring them out now. Humble them, and do with them whatever seems good to your eyes; but to this man do not do such a disgraceful thing!

vw@Judges:19:25 @ But the men would not heed him. So the man took his concubine and brought her out to them. And they knew her and abused her wantonly all night until morning; and when the day began to break, they let her go.

vw@Judges:19:27 @ And when her master arose in the morning, and opened the doors of the house and went out to go his way, behold the woman, his concubine, fallen at the door of the house with her hands on the threshold.

vw@Judges:19:28 @ And he said to her, Get up and let us be going. But there was no answer. So the man lifted her onto the donkey; and the man rose up and went to his place.

vw@Judges:19:29 @ And when he entered his house he took a knife, laid hold of his concubine, and divided her into twelve pieces with her bones, and sent her throughout all the territory of Israel.

vw@Judges:19:30 @ And so it was that all who saw it said, No such deed has been done or seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land of Egypt to this day. Determine, take counsel, and speak up!

vw@Judges:20:1 @ So all the sons of Israel came out, from Dan to Beer-sheba, as well as from the land of Gilead, and the congregation assembled as one man, unto Jehovah at Mizpah.

vw@Judges:20:2 @ And the chiefs of all the people of all the tribes of Israel, presented themselves in the assembly of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen who drew the sword.

vw@Judges:20:3 @ (Now the sons of Benjamin heard that the sons of Israel had gone up to Mizpah.) And the sons of Israel said, Tell us, how did this wickedness happen?

vw@Judges:20:6 @ So I took hold of my concubine, cut her in pieces, and sent her throughout all the land of the inheritance of Israel, because they have committed lewdness and disgraceful folly in Israel.

vw@Judges:20:7 @ Behold, all of you are sons of Israel; give here your advice and counsel.

vw@Judges:20:8 @ And all the people rose up as one man, saying, None of us shall go to his tent, nor shall any turn away to his house;

vw@Judges:20:9 @ but now this is the thing which we shall do to Gibeah: We shall go up against it by lot.

vw@Judges:20:10 @ We shall take ten men out of every hundred throughout all the tribes of Israel, a hundred out of every thousand, and a thousand out of every ten thousand, to carry provisions for the people, that when they come to Gibeah in Benjamin, they may repay all the disgrace that they have done in Israel.

vw@Judges:20:11 @ So all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, united as one man.

vw@Judges:20:12 @ And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin, saying, What is this evil that has been done among you?

vw@Judges:20:13 @ Now therefore, deliver up the men, the sons of wickedness who are in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and remove the evil from Israel! But the sons of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brethren, the sons of Israel.

vw@Judges:20:14 @ And the sons of Benjamin gathered together from their cities to Gibeah, to go to battle against the sons of Israel.

vw@Judges:20:16 @ Among all this people were seven hundred choice men who were left-handed; every one could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.

vw@Judges:20:17 @ Now besides Benjamin, the men of Israel numbered four hundred thousand men who drew the sword; all of these were men of war.

vw@Judges:20:18 @ And the sons of Israel arose and went up to the house of God to inquire of God. They said, Which of us shall go up first to battle against the sons of Benjamin? And Jehovah said, Judah first!

vw@Judges:20:19 @ And the sons of Israel arose in the morning and encamped against Gibeah.

vw@Judges:20:20 @ And the men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin, and the men of Israel put themselves in array to fight against them at Gibeah.

vw@Judges:20:21 @ And the sons of Benjamin came out of Gibeah, and on that day destroyed down to the ground twenty-two thousand men of Israel.

vw@Judges:20:22 @ And the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves and again set the battle in array at the place where they had put themselves in array on the first day.

vw@Judges:20:23 @ And the sons of Israel went up and wept before Jehovah until evening, and asked counsel of Jehovah, saying, Shall I again draw near for battle against the sons of my brother Benjamin? And Jehovah said, Go up against him.

vw@Judges:20:24 @ So the sons of Israel approached the sons of Benjamin on the second day.

vw@Judges:20:25 @ And Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah on the second day, and destroyed down to the ground eighteen thousand men of the sons of Israel; all these drew the sword.

vw@Judges:20:26 @ And all the children of Israel, all the people, went up and came to the house of God and wept. They sat there before Jehovah and fasted that day until evening; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Jehovah.

vw@Judges:20:27 @ And the sons of Israel inquired of Jehovah (the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days,

vw@Judges:20:29 @ And Israel set men in ambush all around Gibeah.

vw@Judges:20:30 @ And the sons of Israel went up against the sons of Benjamin on the third day, and put themselves in battle array against Gibeah as at the other times.

vw@Judges:20:31 @ And the sons of Benjamin went out against the people, and were drawn away from the city. They began to strike down and kill some of the people, as at the other times, in the highways (one of which goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah) and in the field, about thirty men of Israel.

vw@Judges:20:32 @ And the sons of Benjamin thought, They are struck down before us, as at first. But the sons of Israel had said, Let us flee and draw them away from the city into the highways.

vw@Judges:20:33 @ So all the men of Israel rose from their place and put themselves in battle array at Baal Tamar. Then Israel’s men in ambush burst forth from their places in the plain of Geba.

vw@Judges:20:34 @ And ten thousand choice men from all Israel came against Gibeah, and the battle was heavy. But the Benjamites did not know that evil was upon them.

vw@Judges:20:35 @ And Jehovah struck down Benjamin before Israel. And the sons of Israel destroyed that day twenty-five thousand one hundred of Benjamin; all who drew the sword.

vw@Judges:20:36 @ So the sons of Benjamin saw that they were struck down. And the men of Israel had given ground to the Benjamites, because they had trusted on the men in ambush whom they had set against Gibeah.

vw@Judges:20:38 @ Now the appointed signal between the men of Israel and the men in ambush was that they would make a great cloud of smoke rise up from the city,

vw@Judges:20:39 @ whereupon the men of Israel turned around in battle. Now Benjamin had begun to strike and kill about thirty of the men of Israel. For they thought, Surely they are struck down before us, as in the first battle.

vw@Judges:20:40 @ But when the cloud began to rise from the city in a column of smoke, the Benjamites looked behind them, and behold the whole city had gone up in smoke to the heavens.

vw@Judges:20:41 @ And when the men of Israel turned back, the men of Benjamin were dismayed, for they saw that evil had come upon them.

vw@Judges:20:42 @ Therefore they turned their backs before the men of Israel in the direction of the wilderness; and the battle overtook them, and whoever came out of the cities they destroyed in their midst.

vw@Judges:20:43 @ They surrounded Benjamin, chased them, and easily trampled them down as far as the front of Gibeah toward the rising sun.

vw@Judges:20:48 @ And the men of Israel turned back against the sons of Benjamin, and struck them down with the edge of the sword; entire cities, beasts, and all who were found. They also set fire to every city they found.

vw@Judges:21:1 @ Now the men of Israel had sworn at Mizpah, saying, None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin as a wife.

vw@Judges:21:3 @ and said, O Jehovah the God of Israel, why has this come to pass in Israel, that today there should be one tribe missing in Israel?

vw@Judges:21:5 @ And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who did not come up with the assembly to Jehovah? For they had made a great oath concerning anyone who did not come up to Jehovah at Mizpah, saying, He shall die the death.

vw@Judges:21:6 @ And the children of Israel grieved for Benjamin their brother, and said, One tribe is cut off from Israel today.

vw@Judges:21:8 @ And they said, What one is there from the tribes of Israel who did not come up to Mizpah to Jehovah? And, behold, no one had come to the camp from Jabesh Gilead to the assembly.

vw@Judges:21:11 @ And this is the thing that you shall do: You shall utterly destroy every male, and every woman who has known a man by lying with him.

vw@Judges:21:12 @ And they found among the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead four hundred young virgins who had not known a man by lying with him; and they brought them to the camp at Shiloh, which is in the land of Canaan.

vw@Judges:21:15 @ And the people grieved for Benjamin, because Jehovah had made a breach in the tribes of Israel.

vw@Judges:21:17 @ And they said, There must be an inheritance for the remnant of Benjamin, that a tribe may not be destroyed from Israel.

vw@Judges:21:18 @ However, we cannot give them wives from our daughters, for the children of Israel have sworn, saying, Cursed is he who gives a wife to Benjamin.

vw@Judges:21:19 @ Then they said, Behold, there is a yearly feast of Jehovah in Shiloh, which is north of Bethel, on the east side of the highway that goes up from Bethel to Shechem, and south of Lebonah.

vw@Judges:21:22 @ And it shall be, when their fathers or their brothers come to us to complain, that we will say to them, Be gracious to them for our sakes, because we did not take a wife for any of them in the war; for it is not as though you have given the women to them at this time, thus making yourselves guilty of your oath.

vw@Judges:21:24 @ So the sons of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and family; they departed from there, every man to his inheritance.

vw@Judges:21:25 @ In those days there was no king in Israel. Every man did what was right in his own eyes.

vw@Ruth:1:1 @ Now it came to pass, in the days when the judges ruled, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem, Judah, went to dwell in the land of Moab, he and his wife and his two sons.

vw@Ruth:1:2 @ The name of the man was Elimelech, the name of his wife was Naomi, and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion; Ephrathites of Bethlehem, Judah. And they went to the land of Moab and remained there.

vw@Ruth:1:6 @ Then she arose with her daughters-in-law that she might return from the land of Moab, for she had heard in the land of Moab that Jehovah had visited His people by giving them bread.

vw@Ruth:1:9 @ Jehovah grant that you may find rest, each in the house of her husband. And she kissed them, and they lifted up their voices and wept.

vw@Ruth:1:14 @ And they lifted up their voices and wept again; and Orpah kissed her mother-in-law, but Ruth clung to her.

vw@Ruth:1:15 @ And she said, Behold, your sister-in-law has gone back to her people and to her gods; return after your sister-in-law.

vw@Ruth:1:19 @ So the two of them went until they came to Bethlehem. And it happened, when they had come to Bethlehem, that all the city was in a stir because of them; and they said, Is this Naomi?

vw@Ruth:2:1 @ Now Naomi had an acquaintance, a kinsman of her husband, a mighty man of wealth of the family of Elimelech. His name was Boaz.

vw@Ruth:2:5 @ Then Boaz said to his servant who was appointed over the reapers, Whose young woman is this?

vw@Ruth:2:6 @ And the servant who was appointed over the reapers answered and said, It is the young Moabite woman who came back with Naomi from the land of Moab.

vw@Ruth:2:8 @ Then Boaz said to Ruth, You will listen, my daughter, will you not? Do not go to glean in another field, nor go from here, but stay close by my young women.

vw@Ruth:2:12 @ May Jehovah reward your work, and full wages be given you by Jehovah the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come for refuge.

vw@Ruth:2:14 @ And Boaz said to her at mealtime, Come here, and eat of the bread, and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar. So she sat beside the reapers, and he held out parched grain to her; and she ate and was satisfied, and had some left over.

vw@Ruth:2:15 @ And when she rose up to glean, Boaz commanded his young men, saying, Let her glean even among the sheaves, and do not reproach her.

vw@Ruth:2:18 @ And she took it up and went into the city, and her mother-in-law saw what she had gleaned. And she brought out and gave to her what had been left over after she had been satisfied.

vw@Ruth:2:19 @ And her mother-in-law said to her, Where have you gleaned today? And where have you worked? Blessed is the one taking notice of you. So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked, and said, The name of the man with whom I worked today is Boaz.

vw@Ruth:2:20 @ And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, Blessed is he of Jehovah, who has not forsaken His kindness to the living and the dead! And Naomi said to her, This man is next of kin to us, a kinsman redeemer.

vw@Ruth:2:21 @ And Ruth the Moabitess said, He also said to me, You shall stay close by my young men until they have finished all my harvest.

vw@Ruth:2:22 @ And Naomi said to Ruth her daughter-in-law, It is good, my daughter, that you go out with his young women, and that you not be fallen upon in another field.

vw@Ruth:3:2 @ Now Boaz, whose young women you were with, is he not our kinsman? Behold, he is winnowing barley tonight at the threshing floor.

vw@Ruth:3:3 @ Therefore wash yourself and anoint yourself, dress up and go down to the threshing floor; but do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking.

vw@Ruth:3:4 @ And it shall be, when he lies down, that you shall notice the place where he lies; and you shall go in, uncover his feet, and lie down; and he will tell you what you shall do.

vw@Ruth:3:7 @ And after Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his heart was glad, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came secretly, uncovered his feet, and lay down.

vw@Ruth:3:8 @ And it happened at midnight that the man was startled, and turned himself; and behold, a woman was lying at his feet.

vw@Ruth:3:12 @ Now it is true that I am a kinsman redeemer; however, there is a kinsman redeemer closer than I.

vw@Ruth:3:13 @ Stay this night, and in the morning it shall be that if he will redeem you, good, let him do it. But if he does not want to redeem you, then I will be your kinsman redeemer, as Jehovah lives! Lie down until morning.

vw@Ruth:3:14 @ So she lay at his feet until morning, and she arose before one could recognize another. And he said, Do not let it be known that a woman came to the threshing floor.

vw@Ruth:3:15 @ And he said, Bring the shawl that is on you and hold it. And when she held it, he measured six ephahs of barley, and laid it on her. And she went into the city.

vw@Ruth:3:16 @ And when she came to her mother-in-law, she said, Is that you, my daughter? And she told her all that the man had done for her.

vw@Ruth:3:18 @ Then she said, Sit still, my daughter, until you know how the matter will turn out; for the man will not rest until he has concluded the matter this day.

vw@Ruth:4:4 @ And I thought to uncover your ear to say, Buy it in the presence of the inhabitants and the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if you will not redeem it, then tell me, that I may know; for there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am next after you. And he said, I will redeem it.

vw@Ruth:4:5 @ Then Boaz said, On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also buy it from Ruth the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance.

vw@Ruth:4:7 @ Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning redeeming and exchanging, to establish anything: one man took off his sandal and gave it to the other, and this was an attestation in Israel.

vw@Ruth:4:8 @ Therefore the kinsman redeemer said to Boaz, Buy it for yourself; and he drew off his sandal.

vw@Ruth:4:9 @ And Boaz said to the elders and all the people, You are witnesses this day that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s, and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s, from the hand of Naomi.

vw@Ruth:4:10 @ Moreover, Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, I have acquired as my wife, to raise up the name of the dead on his inheritance, that the name of the dead may not be cut off from among his brethren and from his position at the gate. You are witnesses this day.

vw@Ruth:4:11 @ And all the people who were at the gate, and the elders, said, We are witnesses. Jehovah make the woman who is coming into your house like Rachel and Leah, the two who built the house of Israel; and may you prosper in Ephrathah and be famous in Bethlehem.

vw@Ruth:4:12 @ May your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah, because of the seed which Jehovah shall give to you from this young woman.

vw@Ruth:4:13 @ So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and when he went in to her, Jehovah gave her conception, and she bore a son.

vw@Ruth:4:14 @ And the women said to Naomi, Blessed is Jehovah, who has not left you this day without a kinsman redeemer; and may his name be famous in Israel!

vw@Ruth:4:15 @ And may he be to you a restorer of life and a nourisher of your old age; for your daughter-in-law, who loves you, who is better to you than seven sons, has borne him.

vw@Ruth:4:17 @ Also the neighbor women gave him a name, saying, There is a son born to Naomi. And they called his name Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

vw@1Samuel:1:1 @ Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim Zophim, of the mountains of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephrathite.

vw@1Samuel:1:3 @ And this man went up from his city year after year to bow down and sacrifice unto Jehovah of Hosts in Shiloh. And the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were priests unto Jehovah there.

vw@1Samuel:1:4 @ And whenever the time came for Elkanah to make an offering, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and daughters.

vw@1Samuel:1:9 @ So Hannah rose up after they had finished eating and drinking in Shiloh. Now Eli the priest was sitting on the seat by the doorpost of the temple of Jehovah.

vw@1Samuel:1:11 @ And she vowed a vow and said, O Jehovah of Hosts, if You will look to see the affliction of Your handmaid and remember me, and not forget Your handmaid, but will give Your handmaid a male child, then I shall give him unto Jehovah all the days of his life, and no razor shall come upon his head.

vw@1Samuel:1:17 @ Then Eli answered and said, Go in peace, and the God of Israel grant your petition which you have asked of Him.

vw@1Samuel:1:19 @ And they arose early in the morning and bowed down before Jehovah, and returned and came to their house at Ramah. And Elkanah knew Hannah his wife, and Jehovah remembered her.

vw@1Samuel:1:20 @ So it came to pass in the process of time that Hannah conceived and bore a son, and called his name Samuel, saying, Because I have asked for him from Jehovah.

vw@1Samuel:1:21 @ Now the man Elkanah and all his house went up to offer to Jehovah the yearly sacrifice and his vow.

vw@1Samuel:1:22 @ But Hannah did not go up, for she said to her husband, Not until the child is weaned; then I will bring him, that he may appear before Jehovah and remain there always.

vw@1Samuel:1:23 @ And Elkanah her husband said to her, Do what is good in your eyes; wait until you have weaned him. Only may Jehovah establish His word. So the woman stayed and nursed her son until she had weaned him.

vw@1Samuel:1:27 @ For this boy I prayed, and Jehovah granted me my petition which I have asked of Him.

vw@1Samuel:1:28 @ Therefore I also have given him unto Jehovah; as long as he lives he is loaned unto Jehovah. And he bowed down before Jehovah there.

vw@1Samuel:2:2 @ No one is holy like Jehovah, for there is no one besides You, nor is there any rock like our God.

vw@1Samuel:2:3 @ Talk no more so very proudly; let no arrogance come out of your mouth, for Jehovah is the Mighty God of knowledge; and by Him actions are weighed.

vw@1Samuel:2:8 @ He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap, to set them among princes and make them inherit the throne of glory. For the pillars of the earth are Jehovah’s, and He set the world upon them.

vw@1Samuel:2:9 @ He guards the feet of His saints, but the wicked are silent in darkness. For man does not prevail by might.

vw@1Samuel:2:10 @ The adversaries of Jehovah are broken in pieces; from the heavens He thunders against them. Jehovah judges the ends of the earth. He gives strength to His king, and exalts the horn of His anointed.

vw@1Samuel:2:11 @ And Elkanah went to his house at Ramah, and the child served Jehovah before Eli the priest.

vw@1Samuel:2:13 @ And the custom of the priests with the people was that when any man offered a sacrifice, the priest’s servant would come with a three-pronged fleshhook in his hand while the flesh was boiling.

vw@1Samuel:2:14 @ And he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; and the priest would take for himself all that the fleshhook brought up. Thus they did in Shiloh to all Israel who came there.

vw@1Samuel:2:16 @ And if the man said to him, It is time to burn the fat to make it smoke, then you may take as much as your soul desires; he would then answer him, No, but you must give it now; and if not, I will take it by force.

vw@1Samuel:2:19 @ Moreover his mother made him a little robe, and brought it to him year after year when she came up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

vw@1Samuel:2:20 @ And Eli blessed Elkanah and his wife, and said, Jehovah give you seed from this woman for the petition which has been loaned unto Jehovah. And they went to their place.

vw@1Samuel:2:21 @ And Jehovah visited Hannah, and she conceived and bore three sons and two daughters. And the boy Samuel grew up with Jehovah.

vw@1Samuel:2:22 @ Now Eli was very old; and he heard everything his sons did to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who assembled at the door of the tent of meeting.

vw@1Samuel:2:24 @ No, my sons; for it is not a good report that I am hearing. You cause the people of Jehovah to transgress.

vw@1Samuel:2:28 @ Did I not choose him out of all the tribes of Israel to be My priest, to offer upon My altar, to burn incense, and to bear the ephod before Me? And did I not give to the house of your father all the offerings by fire of the children of Israel?

vw@1Samuel:2:29 @ Why do you kick at My sacrifice and at My offering which I have commanded for My dwelling place, and honor your sons above Me, to make yourselves fat with the best of all the offerings of Israel My people?

vw@1Samuel:2:30 @ Therefore Jehovah the God of Israel says: I said indeed that your house and the house of your father would walk before Me forever. But now Jehovah says: Far be it from Me! For those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me shall be lightly esteemed.

vw@1Samuel:2:32 @ And you shall see an adversary in My dwelling place, despite all the good which God did for Israel. And there shall not be an old man in your house for all time.

vw@1Samuel:2:34 @ And this shall be a sign to you that shall come upon your two sons, upon Hophni and Phinehas: in one day they shall die, both of them.

vw@1Samuel:2:35 @ Then I will raise up for Myself a faithful priest who shall do according to what is in My heart and in My soul. I will build him a lasting house, and he shall walk before My anointed for all time.

vw@1Samuel:2:36 @ And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left in your house shall come and bow down to him for a piece of silver and a loaf of bread, and say, Please, join me to the priesthood, that I may eat a piece of bread.

vw@1Samuel:3:1 @ And the boy Samuel served Jehovah before Eli. And the Word of Jehovah was rare in those days; visions were not breaking through.

vw@1Samuel:3:2 @ And it came to pass at that time, while Eli was lying down in his place, and his eyes had begun to grow dim that he could not see,

vw@1Samuel:3:9 @ Therefore Eli said to Samuel, Go, lie down; and it shall be, if He calls you, that you shall say, Speak, Jehovah, for Your servant is listening. So Samuel went and lay down in his place.

vw@1Samuel:3:10 @ And Jehovah came and stood and called as at other times, Samuel! Samuel! And Samuel answered, Speak, for Your servant is listening.

vw@1Samuel:3:11 @ And Jehovah said to Samuel: Behold, I am doing something in Israel at which both ears of everyone who hears it shall tingle.

vw@1Samuel:3:12 @ In that day I shall carry out against Eli all that I have spoken concerning his house, from beginning to end.

vw@1Samuel:3:13 @ For I have declared to him that I will judge his house forever for the iniquity which he has known, because his sons are being despicable, and he has not restrained them.

vw@1Samuel:3:15 @ And Samuel lay down until morning, and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel was afraid to make known the vision to Eli.

vw@1Samuel:3:17 @ And he said, What is the word that He has spoken to you? Please do not hide it from me. God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the things that He has spoken to you.

vw@1Samuel:3:18 @ And Samuel told him the matter, and hid nothing from him. And he said, It is Jehovah. Let Him do what is good in His eyes.

vw@1Samuel:3:19 @ And Samuel grew, and Jehovah was with him and let none of his words fall to the ground.

vw@1Samuel:3:20 @ And all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba knew that Samuel was being established as a prophet of Jehovah.

vw@1Samuel:4:1 @ And the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out to meet the Philistines in battle, and encamped beside Ebenezer; and the Philistines encamped in Aphek.

vw@1Samuel:4:2 @ And the Philistines put themselves in battle array against Israel. And when they joined the battle, Israel was struck down before the Philistines, who killed about four thousand men at the battle line in the field.

vw@1Samuel:4:3 @ And when the people came into the camp, the elders of Israel said, Why has Jehovah struck us down today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of Jehovah from Shiloh to us, that when it comes among us it may save us from the hand of our enemies.

vw@1Samuel:4:5 @ And when the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout so that the earth shook.

vw@1Samuel:4:6 @ And when the Philistines heard the sound of the shout, they said, What is this sound of great shouting in the camp of the Hebrews? Then they understood that the ark of Jehovah had come into the camp.

vw@1Samuel:4:7 @ And the Philistines were afraid, for they said, God has come into the camp! And they said, Woe to us! For such a thing has never happened before.

vw@1Samuel:4:9 @ Be strong and be like men, you Philistines, that you do not become servants of the Hebrews, as they have been to you. Be like men, and fight!

vw@1Samuel:4:10 @ So the Philistines fought, and Israel was struck down, and every man fled to his tent. There was a very great slaughter, and there fell of Israel thirty thousand foot soldiers.

vw@1Samuel:4:12 @ And a man of Benjamin ran from the battle line the same day, and came to Shiloh with his clothes torn and earth on his head.

vw@1Samuel:4:13 @ And when he came, behold Eli was sitting on a seat by the wayside, watching, for his heart trembled for the ark of God. And when the man came into the city and reported, all the city cried out.

vw@1Samuel:4:14 @ When Eli heard the sound of the outcry, he said, What is this sound of tumult? And the man came quickly and reported to Eli.

vw@1Samuel:4:15 @ Now Eli was ninety-eight years old, and his eyes had become set that he could not see.

vw@1Samuel:4:17 @ And the messenger answered and said, Israel has fled before the Philistines, and there has been a great slaughter among the people. Also your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas, have died; and the ark of God has been taken.

vw@1Samuel:4:18 @ And it happened, when he made mention of the ark of God, that Eli fell off the seat backward by the side of the gate; and his neck was broken and he died, for the man was old and heavy. And he had judged Israel forty years.

vw@1Samuel:4:19 @ And his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was with child, due to be delivered; and when she heard the news that the ark of God was taken, and that her father-in-law and her husband had died, she bowed herself and gave birth, for her pangs came upon her.

vw@1Samuel:4:21 @ And she named the child Ichabod, saying, The glory has departed from Israel! because the ark of God had been taken and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

vw@1Samuel:4:22 @ And she said, The glory has departed from Israel, for the ark of God has been taken.

vw@1Samuel:5:1 @ And the Philistines took the ark of God and brought it from Ebenezer to Ashdod.

vw@1Samuel:5:2 @ When the Philistines took the ark of God, they brought it into the house of Dagon and set it next to Dagon.

vw@1Samuel:5:3 @ And when those of Ashdod arose early the next day, behold, Dagon was fallen on his face to the earth before the ark of Jehovah. So they took Dagon and put him back on his place.

vw@1Samuel:5:4 @ And when they arose early the next day, there was Dagon, fallen on his face to the ground before the ark of Jehovah. The head of Dagon and both the palms of his hands were broken off on the threshold; only Dagon’s torso was left to him.

vw@1Samuel:5:5 @ Therefore neither the priests of Dagon nor any who come into Dagon’s house tread on the threshold of Dagon in Ashdod to this day.

vw@1Samuel:5:7 @ And when the men of Ashdod saw how it was, they said, The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand has been severe upon us and Dagon our god.

vw@1Samuel:5:8 @ Therefore they sent and gathered to themselves all the rulers of the Philistines, and said, What shall we do with the ark of the God of Israel? And they answered, Let the ark of the God of Israel be brought to Gath. So they brought around the ark of the God of Israel.

vw@1Samuel:5:10 @ Therefore they sent the ark of God to Ekron. So it was, as the ark of God came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, saying, They have brought around the ark of the God of Israel to us, to kill us and our people!

vw@1Samuel:5:11 @ So they sent and gathered together all the rulers of the Philistines, and said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its own place, so that it does not kill us and our people. For there was a death panic throughout all the city, because the hand of God had been very heavy there.

vw@1Samuel:6:1 @ And the ark of Jehovah was in the land of the Philistines seven months.

vw@1Samuel:6:2 @ And the Philistines summoned the priests and the diviners, saying, What shall we do with the ark of Jehovah? Make known to us how we shall send it to its place.

vw@1Samuel:6:3 @ And they said, If you send away the ark of the God of Israel, do not send it empty; but turn it back to return it to Him with a trespass offering. Then you will be healed, and it will be known to you why His hand is not removed from you.

vw@1Samuel:6:4 @ So they said, What is the trespass offering which we shall return to Him? And they answered, Five golden tumors and five golden mice, according to the number of the rulers of the Philistines. For the same plague was upon all of you and upon your rulers.

vw@1Samuel:6:5 @ Therefore you shall make images of your tumors and images of your mice that are ruining the land, and you shall give glory to the God of Israel. Perhaps He will lighten His hand from off you, from off your gods, and from off your land.

vw@1Samuel:6:9 @ And watch: if it goes up the way to its own territory, to Beth Shemesh, then He has done us this great evil. But if not, then we shall know that it is not His hand that has struck us; it has happened to us by chance.

vw@1Samuel:6:12 @ And the cows headed straight for the way to Beth Shemesh, and went along the highway, lowing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right hand or the left. And the rulers of the Philistines went after them to the border of Beth Shemesh.

vw@1Samuel:6:16 @ And when the five rulers of the Philistines had seen it, they returned to Ekron the same day.

vw@1Samuel:6:17 @ And these are the golden tumors which the Philistines returned as a trespass offering unto Jehovah: one for Ashdod, one for Gaza, one for Ashkelon, one for Gath, one for Ekron;

vw@1Samuel:6:18 @ and the golden mice, according to the number of all the cities of the Philistines belonging to the five rulers, both fortified cities and rural villages, even as far as the large stone of Abel on which they set the ark of Jehovah, which stone remains to this day in the field of Joshua of Beth Shemesh.

vw@1Samuel:6:20 @ And the men of Beth Shemesh said, Who is able to stand before Jehovah, this holy God? And to whom shall He go up from us?

vw@1Samuel:6:21 @ And they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kirjath Jearim, saying, The Philistines have brought back the ark of Jehovah; come down and take it up with you.

vw@1Samuel:7:1 @ And the men of Kirjath Jearim came and took the ark of Jehovah, and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and consecrated Eleazar his son to keep the ark of Jehovah.

vw@1Samuel:7:2 @ So it was that the ark remained in Kirjath Jearim many days; it was twenty years. And all the house of Israel mourned after Jehovah.

vw@1Samuel:7:3 @ And Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, If you are returning unto Jehovah with all your hearts, then put away the foreign gods and Ashtaroth from among you, and prepare your hearts for Jehovah, and serve Him only; and He will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.

vw@1Samuel:7:4 @ So the children of Israel put away the Baals and Ashtaroth, and served Jehovah only.

vw@1Samuel:7:5 @ And Samuel said, Gather all Israel to Mizpah, and I will pray to Jehovah for you.

vw@1Samuel:7:6 @ And they gathered together at Mizpah, drew water, and poured it out before Jehovah. And they fasted that day, and said there, We have sinned against Jehovah. And Samuel judged the children of Israel at Mizpah.

vw@1Samuel:7:7 @ Now when the Philistines heard that the children of Israel had gathered together at Mizpah, the rulers of the Philistines went up against Israel. And when the children of Israel heard of it, they were afraid before the Philistines.

vw@1Samuel:7:8 @ And the sons of Israel said to Samuel, Do not cease to cry out unto Jehovah our God for us, that He may deliver us out of the hand of the Philistines.

vw@1Samuel:7:9 @ And Samuel took a suckling lamb and offered it as a whole burnt offering unto Jehovah. And Samuel cried out unto Jehovah for Israel, and Jehovah answered him.

vw@1Samuel:7:10 @ And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offering, the Philistines drew near to battle against Israel. But Jehovah thundered with a loud noise upon the Philistines that day, and so confused them that they were smitten before Israel.

vw@1Samuel:7:11 @ And the men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and drove them back as far as below Beth Car.

vw@1Samuel:7:13 @ So the Philistines were subdued, and they did not come anymore into the territory of Israel. And the hand of Jehovah was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

vw@1Samuel:7:14 @ And the cities which the Philistines had taken from Israel were restored to Israel, from Ekron to Gath; and Israel recovered its territories from the hands of the Philistines. There was also peace between Israel and the Amorites.

vw@1Samuel:7:15 @ And Samuel judged Israel all the days of his life.

vw@1Samuel:7:16 @ And he went from year to year on a circuit to Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah, and judged Israel in all those places.

vw@1Samuel:7:17 @ And he returned to Ramah, for his home was there. There he judged Israel, and there he built an altar unto Jehovah.

vw@1Samuel:8:1 @ Now it came to pass when Samuel was old that he made his sons judges over Israel.

vw@1Samuel:8:2 @ The name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judging in Beer-sheba.

vw@1Samuel:8:3 @ But his sons did not walk in his ways; they turned aside after dishonest gain, took bribes, and perverted justice.

vw@1Samuel:8:4 @ And all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah,

vw@1Samuel:8:8 @ According to all the works which they have done since the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, even to this day, with which they have forsaken Me and served other gods, so they are doing to you also.

vw@1Samuel:8:11 @ And he said, This shall be the manner of the king who shall reign over you: He will take your sons and appoint them for his own chariots and to be his horsemen, and some will run before his chariots.

vw@1Samuel:8:12 @ He will appoint commanders over his thousands and commanders over his fifties, will set some to plow his ground and reap his harvest, and some to make his implements of war and equipment for his chariots.

vw@1Samuel:8:14 @ And he will take the best of your fields, your vineyards, and your olive groves, and give them to his servants.

vw@1Samuel:8:15 @ He will take a tenth of your seed and your vintage, and give it to his officers and servants.

vw@1Samuel:8:16 @ And he will take your male servants, your female servants, your finest young men, and your donkeys, and make them do his work.

vw@1Samuel:8:17 @ He will take a tenth of your sheep. And you will be his servants.

vw@1Samuel:8:19 @ Nevertheless the people refused to listen to the voice of Samuel; and they said, No, but there shall be a king over us,

vw@1Samuel:8:22 @ And Jehovah said to Samuel, Consent to their voice, and cause a king to reign over them. And Samuel said to the men of Israel, Each of you go to his city.

vw@1Samuel:9:1 @ Now there was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Bechorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a mighty man of power.

vw@1Samuel:9:2 @ And he had a choice and handsome son whose name was Saul. There was not a more handsome person than he among the sons of Israel. From his shoulders upward he was taller than any of the people.

vw@1Samuel:9:3 @ Now the donkeys of Kish, Saul’s father, were lost. And Kish said to his son Saul, Please, take one of the servants with you, and arise, go search for the donkeys.

vw@1Samuel:9:4 @ And he passed through the mountains of Ephraim and through the land of Shalisha, but they did not find them. Then they passed through the land of Shaalim, and they were not there. Then he passed through the land of the Benjamites, but they did not find them.

vw@1Samuel:9:5 @ And when they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, Come, let us return, lest my father leave the donkeys and become concerned about us.

vw@1Samuel:9:6 @ And he said to him, Behold now, there is a man of God in this city, and he is an honorable man; all that he speaks succeeds to come to pass. Now let us go there; perhaps he can show us the way that we should go.

vw@1Samuel:9:7 @ Then Saul said to his servant, But behold, if we go, what shall we bring the man? For the bread in our vessels is all gone, and there is no present to bring to the man of God. What do we have?

vw@1Samuel:9:9 @ (Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he spoke thus: Come, let us go to the seer; for he who is now called a prophet was formerly called a seer.)

vw@1Samuel:9:10 @ Then Saul said to his servant, Well said; come, let us go. So they went to the city where the man of God was.

vw@1Samuel:9:11 @ And as they went up the hill to the city, they met some young women going out to draw water, and said to them, Is the seer here?

vw@1Samuel:9:12 @ And they answered them and said, Yes, behold he is ahead of you. Hurry now; for today he has come to this city, because there is a sacrifice of the people today at the high place.

vw@1Samuel:9:16 @ Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him commander over My people Israel, that he may deliver My people out of the hand of the Philistines; for I have looked upon My people, because their cry has come to me.

vw@1Samuel:9:17 @ And when Samuel saw Saul, Jehovah said to him, Behold, the man of whom I spoke to you. This one shall reign over My people.

vw@1Samuel:9:18 @ And Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and said, Please tell me, where is the seer’s house?

vw@1Samuel:9:19 @ And Samuel answered Saul and said, I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today; and tomorrow I will send you away and will declare to you all that is in your heart.

vw@1Samuel:9:20 @ And as for your donkeys that were lost three days ago, do not set your heart on them, for they have been found. And on whom is all the desire of Israel? Is it not on you and on all your father’s house.

vw@1Samuel:9:21 @ And Saul answered and said, Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then have you spoken this word to me?

vw@1Samuel:9:22 @ And Samuel took Saul and his servant and brought them into the hall, and had them sit in the place at the head of those who were invited; which were about thirty men.

vw@1Samuel:9:24 @ And the cook took up the leg with what was on it and set it before Saul. And he said, Behold here is what was reserved. Set it before you and eat; for until this appointed time it has been kept for you, since I said I invited the people. So Saul ate with Samuel that day.

vw@1Samuel:9:26 @ And they arose early; and it was about daybreak that Samuel summoned Saul to the top of the house, saying, Arise, that I may send you away. And Saul arose, and both of them went outside, he and Samuel.

vw@1Samuel:10:1 @ Then Samuel took a flask of oil and poured it on his head, and kissed him and said: Is it not because Jehovah has anointed you ruler over His inheritance.

vw@1Samuel:10:5 @ After that you shall come to the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is. And it will happen, when you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with a lute, a tambourine, a flute, and a harp before them; and they will be prophesying.

vw@1Samuel:10:7 @ And let it be, when these signs come to you, that you do as your hand finds to do; for God is with you.

vw@1Samuel:10:9 @ And so it was, when he had turned his back to go from Samuel, that God changed him with another heart; and all those signs came to pass that day.

vw@1Samuel:10:11 @ And it happened, when all who knew him formerly saw that behold he prophesied among the prophets, that the people said to one another, What is this that has come upon the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?

vw@1Samuel:10:12 @ And a man from there answered and said, But who is their father? Therefore it became a proverb: Is Saul also among the prophets?

vw@1Samuel:10:13 @ And when he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.

vw@1Samuel:10:14 @ And Saul’s uncle said to him and his servant, Where did you go? And he said, To seek the donkeys. When we saw that they were nowhere to be found, we came to Samuel.

vw@1Samuel:10:16 @ And Saul said to his uncle, He reported to make known to us that the donkeys had been found. But about the matter of the kingdom, he did not tell him what Samuel had said.

vw@1Samuel:10:18 @ and said to the children of Israel, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: I brought up Israel out of Egypt, and delivered you from the hand of the Egyptians and from the hand of all kingdoms and from those oppressing you.

vw@1Samuel:10:20 @ And when Samuel had caused all the tribes of Israel to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken.

vw@1Samuel:10:21 @ When he had caused the tribe of Benjamin to come near by their families, the family of Matri was chosen. And Saul the son of Kish was taken. But when they sought him, he could not be found.

vw@1Samuel:10:22 @ Therefore they inquired of Jehovah further, Has the man come here yet? And Jehovah answered, Behold, he is hiding himself among the equipment.

vw@1Samuel:10:23 @ So they ran and brought him from there; and when he stood among the people, he was taller than any of the people from his shoulders upward.

vw@1Samuel:10:24 @ And Samuel said to all the people, Do you see him whom Jehovah has chosen, that there is no one like him among all the people? And all the people shouted and said, Long live the king!

vw@1Samuel:10:25 @ Then Samuel explained to the people the ordinances of the king’s office, and wrote it in a book and set it before Jehovah. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.

vw@1Samuel:10:26 @ And Saul also went to his house to Gibeah; and mighty men went with him, whose hearts God had touched.

vw@1Samuel:10:27 @ But the sons of worthlessness said, How can this man deliver us? So they despised him, and brought him no gifts. But he kept silent.

vw@1Samuel:11:2 @ And Nahash the Ammonite answered them, On this condition I will make a covenant with you, to bore out all your right eyes, and bring reproach on all Israel.

vw@1Samuel:11:3 @ And the elders of Jabesh said to him, Give us seven days, that we may send messengers to all the territory of Israel. And then, if there is no one to deliver us, we will come out to you.

vw@1Samuel:11:5 @ And behold, Saul was coming behind the herd from the field; and Saul said, What is with the people, that they weep? And they recounted to him the words of the men of Jabesh.

vw@1Samuel:11:6 @ And the Spirit of God rushed upon Saul when he heard these words, and his anger burned greatly.

vw@1Samuel:11:7 @ And he took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout all the territory of Israel by the hands of messengers, saying, Whoever does not come out with Saul and Samuel to battle, so it shall be done to his oxen. And the fear of Jehovah fell on the people, and they came out as one man.

vw@1Samuel:11:8 @ And when he numbered them at Bezek, the sons of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

vw@1Samuel:11:9 @ And they said to the messengers who came, Thus you shall say to the men of Jabesh Gilead: Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you shall have deliverance. And the messengers came and reported it to the men of Jabesh, and they rejoiced.

vw@1Samuel:11:10 @ Therefore the men of Jabesh said, Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do with us whatever is good in your eyes.

vw@1Samuel:11:12 @ And the people said to Samuel, Who is he who said, Shall Saul reign over us? Set forth the men, that we may put them to death.

vw@1Samuel:11:13 @ But Saul said, Not a man shall be put to death this day, for today Jehovah has worked deliverance in Israel.

vw@1Samuel:11:15 @ And all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before Jehovah in Gilgal. There they slaughtered sacrifices of peace offerings before Jehovah, and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

vw@1Samuel:12:1 @ And Samuel said to all Israel: Behold, I have heeded your voice in all that you said to me, and have made a king over you.

vw@1Samuel:12:2 @ And now, behold the king walking before you; and I am old and gray, and behold, my sons are with you. I have walked before you from my youth to this day.

vw@1Samuel:12:3 @ Look at me. Witness against me before Jehovah and before His anointed: Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I cheated? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I received any bribe with which to blind my eyes? I will restore it to you.

vw@1Samuel:12:5 @ And he said to them, Jehovah is witness against you, and His anointed is witness this day, that you have not found anything in my hand. And they answered, He is witness.

vw@1Samuel:12:6 @ And Samuel said to the people, It is Jehovah who appointed Moses and Aaron, and who brought your fathers up out of the land of Egypt.

vw@1Samuel:12:8 @ When Jacob had gone into Egypt, and your fathers cried out unto Jehovah, then Jehovah sent Moses and Aaron, who brought your fathers out of Egypt and made them dwell in this place.

vw@1Samuel:12:9 @ And when they forgot Jehovah their God, He sold them into the hand of Sisera, commander of the army of Hazor, into the hand of the Philistines, and into the hand of the king of Moab; and they fought against them.

vw@1Samuel:12:14 @ If you will fear Jehovah and serve Him and obey His voice, and do not rebel against the mouth of Jehovah, then both you and the king who reigns over you shall follow Jehovah your God.

vw@1Samuel:12:16 @ Now therefore, present yourselves and see this great thing which Jehovah will do before your eyes:

vw@1Samuel:12:17 @ Is today not the wheat harvest? I will call to Jehovah, and He will send thunder and rain, that you may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which you have done in the eyes of Jehovah, to ask for a king for yourselves.

vw@1Samuel:12:19 @ And all the people said to Samuel, Pray for your servants to Jehovah your God, that we may not die; for we have added to all our sins this evil, to ask for a king for ourselves.

vw@1Samuel:12:20 @ And Samuel said to the people, Do not fear. You have done all this evil; yet do not turn aside from following Jehovah, but serve Jehovah with all your heart.

vw@1Samuel:12:22 @ For Jehovah will not abandon His people, for His great name’s sake, because Jehovah has undertaken to make you a people for Himself.

vw@1Samuel:13:1 @ Saul was forty years old when he began to reign; and when he had reigned two years over Israel,

vw@1Samuel:13:2 @ Saul chose for himself three thousand men of Israel. Two thousand were with Saul in Michmash and in the mountains of Bethel, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah of Benjamin. The rest of the people he sent each man to his tent.

vw@1Samuel:13:3 @ And Jonathan struck the garrison of the Philistines that was in Geba, and the Philistines heard of it. And Saul blew the shofar throughout all the land, saying, Let the Hebrews hear!

vw@1Samuel:13:4 @ And all Israel heard it said that Saul had struck a garrison of the Philistines, and that Israel had also become odious to the Philistines. And the people were summoned after Saul at Gilgal.

vw@1Samuel:13:5 @ And the Philistines gathered together to fight with Israel, thirty thousand chariots and six thousand horsemen, and people as the sand which is on the seashore for multitude. And they came up and encamped in Michmash, to the east of Beth Aven.

vw@1Samuel:13:6 @ And when the men of Israel saw that they were in straits, for the people were distressed, then the people hid in caves, in crevices, in rocks, in holes, and in pits.

vw@1Samuel:13:10 @ And it happened, as soon as he finished offering the burnt offering, that Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, to bless him.

vw@1Samuel:13:11 @ And Samuel said, What have you done? And Saul said, When I saw that the people had scattered from me, and that you had not come at the appointed time, and that the Philistines were gathering together at Michmash,

vw@1Samuel:13:12 @ then I said, The Philistines will now come down upon me at Gilgal, and I have not entreated the face of Jehovah. Therefore I forced myself, and offered a burnt offering.

vw@1Samuel:13:13 @ And Samuel said to Saul, You have done foolishly. You have not kept the commandment of Jehovah your God, which He has commanded you. For now Jehovah would have established your kingdom over Israel forever.

vw@1Samuel:13:14 @ But now your kingdom shall not stand. Jehovah has sought for Himself a man after His own heart, and Jehovah has ordained him to be ruler over His people, because you have not kept what Jehovah has commanded you.

vw@1Samuel:13:16 @ And Saul, Jonathan his son, and the people found with them remained at Gibeah of Benjamin; and the Philistines encamped at Michmash.

vw@1Samuel:13:17 @ And raiders came out of the camp of the Philistines in three companies. One company turned toward the way to Ophrah, to the land of Shual,

vw@1Samuel:13:19 @ Now there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines thought, Lest the Hebrews make swords or spears.

vw@1Samuel:13:20 @ But all Israel would go down to the Philistines to sharpen each man’s plowshare, his mattock, his ax, and his sickle;

vw@1Samuel:13:22 @ So it came about, in the day of battle, that there was neither sword nor spear found in the hand of any of the people with Saul and Jonathan. But they were found with Saul and Jonathan his son.

vw@1Samuel:13:23 @ And the garrison of the Philistines went out to the pass of Michmash.

vw@1Samuel:14:1 @ Now it happened one day that Jonathan the son of Saul said to the young man that was his armorbearer, Come, let us go over to the garrison of the Philistines that is on the other side. But he did not tell his father.

vw@1Samuel:14:2 @ And Saul was sitting at the outskirts of Gibeah under a pomegranate tree which is in Migron. The people who were with him were about six hundred men.

vw@1Samuel:14:4 @ Between the passes by which Jonathan sought to go over to the Philistines’ garrison, there was a sharp rock on one side and a sharp rock on the other side. And the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

vw@1Samuel:14:6 @ And Jonathan said to the young man that was his armorbearer, Come, let us go over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; it may be that Jehovah will work for us; for nothing restrains Jehovah, to save by many or by few.

vw@1Samuel:14:7 @ So his armorbearer said to him, Do all that is in your heart. Turn then; behold, I am with you according to your heart.

vw@1Samuel:14:10 @ But if they say thus, Come up to us; then we will go up, for Jehovah has delivered them into our hand; and this will be a sign to us.

vw@1Samuel:14:11 @ So both of them showed themselves to the garrison of the Philistines. And the Philistines said, Look, the Hebrews are coming out of the holes where they have hidden.

vw@1Samuel:14:12 @ And the men of the garrison called to Jonathan and his armorbearer, and said, Come up to us, and we will teach you something. And Jonathan said to his armorbearer, Come up after me, for Jehovah has delivered them into the hand of Israel.

vw@1Samuel:14:13 @ And Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet with his armorbearer after him; and they fell before Jonathan. And his armorbearer followed, killing them.

vw@1Samuel:14:14 @ That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armorbearer made was about twenty men within an area of land half the size that a yoke of oxen might plow in a day.

vw@1Samuel:14:15 @ And there was trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. The garrison and the raiders also trembled; and the earth quaked, so that it was a very great trembling.

vw@1Samuel:14:17 @ Then Saul said to the people who were with him, Number and see who has gone from us. And when they had numbered, behold, Jonathan and his armorbearer were not there.

vw@1Samuel:14:18 @ And Saul said to Ahijah, Bring the ark of God here (for the ark of God was with the sons of Israel that day).

vw@1Samuel:14:19 @ And it happened, while Saul spoke to the priest, that the roar in the camp of the Philistines continued to increase; so Saul said to the priest, Withdraw your hand.

vw@1Samuel:14:20 @ And Saul and all the people with him assembled, and they went to the battle; and behold every man’s sword was against his neighbor, and there was very great confusion.

vw@1Samuel:14:21 @ Moreover the Hebrews who had previously retreated from the Philistines into the surrounding areas, they also joined the camp of the Israelites who were with Saul and Jonathan.

vw@1Samuel:14:22 @ Likewise all the men of Israel who had hidden in the mountains of Ephraim, when they heard that the Philistines had fled, they also pursued closely after them in the battle.

vw@1Samuel:14:23 @ So Jehovah saved Israel that day, and the battle passed over to Beth Aven.

vw@1Samuel:14:24 @ And the men of Israel were distressed that day, for Saul had placed the people under oath, saying, Cursed is the man who eats food until evening, before I have taken vengeance on my enemies. So none of the people tasted food.

vw@1Samuel:14:26 @ And when the people had come into the forest, there was the flowing honey; but no one put his hand to his mouth, for the people feared the oath.

vw@1Samuel:14:27 @ But Jonathan had not heard his father charge the people with the oath; therefore he stretched out the end of the staff that was in his hand and dipped it in a honeycomb, and put his hand to his mouth; and his eyes brightened.

vw@1Samuel:14:28 @ Then one of the people said, Your father adjured the people with an oath, saying, Cursed is the man who eats food this day. And the people were faint.

vw@1Samuel:14:29 @ And Jonathan said, My father has troubled the land. See now, how my eyes have brightened because I have tasted a little of this honey.

vw@1Samuel:14:30 @ How much better if the people had eaten to feed themselves today of the spoils of their enemies which they have found! For now would there not have been a much greater slaughter among the Philistines?

vw@1Samuel:14:31 @ And they drove back the Philistines that day from Michmash to Aijalon; and the people were very faint.

vw@1Samuel:14:33 @ And they told Saul, saying, Behold, the people are sinning against Jehovah to eat with the blood! So he said, You have dealt treacherously; roll a large stone to me this moment.

vw@1Samuel:14:34 @ And Saul said, Disperse yourselves among the people, and say to them, Bring me here each man his ox and his sheep, slaughter them here, and eat; and do not sin against Jehovah to eat with the blood. So every one of the people brought his ox with him that night, and slaughtered it there.

vw@1Samuel:14:35 @ And Saul built an altar unto Jehovah. This was the first altar that he built unto Jehovah.

vw@1Samuel:14:36 @ And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and plunder them until the morning light; and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatever is good in your eyes. And the priest said, Let us draw near to God here.

vw@1Samuel:14:37 @ And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I go down after the Philistines? Will You deliver them into the hand of Israel? But He did not answer him that day.

vw@1Samuel:14:38 @ And Saul said, Draw near here, all you chiefs of the people, and know and see what this sin was today.

vw@1Samuel:14:39 @ For as Jehovah lives, who saves Israel, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall be executed to death. But not one of all the people answered him.

vw@1Samuel:14:40 @ Then he said to all Israel, You be on one side, and my son Jonathan and I will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do what is good in your eyes.

vw@1Samuel:14:41 @ Therefore Saul said to Jehovah the God of Israel, Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan were taken, but the people escaped.

vw@1Samuel:14:45 @ But the people said to Saul, Shall Jonathan die, who has accomplished this great deliverance in Israel? Let it not be! As Jehovah lives, not one hair of his head shall fall to the ground, for he has worked with God this day. So the people rescued Jonathan, and he did not die.

vw@1Samuel:14:46 @ Then Saul withdrew from pursuing the Philistines, and the Philistines went to their own place.

vw@1Samuel:14:47 @ So when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies all around: against Moab, against the sons of Ammon, against Edom, against the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines. Wherever he turned, he condemned them.

vw@1Samuel:14:48 @ And he dealt with might and struck the Amalekites, and delivered Israel from the hands of those who plundered them.

vw@1Samuel:14:49 @ The sons of Saul were Jonathan, Jishui and Malchishua. And the names of his two daughters: the name of the firstborn Merab, and the name of the younger Michal.

vw@1Samuel:14:50 @ The name of Saul’s wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the commander of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul’s uncle.

vw@1Samuel:14:51 @ Kish was the father of Saul, and Ner the father of Abner was the son of Abiel.

vw@1Samuel:14:52 @ And war with the Philistines was severe all the days of Saul. And when Saul saw any strong man or any valiant youth, he gathered them to himself.

vw@1Samuel:15:1 @ Samuel also said to Saul, Jehovah has sent me to anoint you king over His people, over Israel. Now therefore, heed the voice of the words of Jehovah.

vw@1Samuel:15:2 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts: I will punish Amalek for what he has done to Israel, how he had laid in wait for him on the way when he came up from Egypt.

vw@1Samuel:15:6 @ And Saul said to the Kenites, Go, depart, get down from among the Amalekites, lest I destroy you with them. For you showed kindness to all the children of Israel when they came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

vw@1Samuel:15:7 @ And Saul struck the Amalekites, from Havilah all the way to Shur, which is before Egypt.

vw@1Samuel:15:9 @ But Saul and the people spared Agag and the best of the sheep, the oxen, the fatlings, the lambs, and all that was good, and were unwilling to utterly destroy them. But everything despised and worthless, that they utterly destroyed.

vw@1Samuel:15:12 @ And when Samuel arose early in the morning to meet Saul, it was told Samuel, saying, Saul has come to Carmel, and behold, he is setting up a monument for himself; and he has gone on around, passed by, and gone down to Gilgal.

vw@1Samuel:15:14 @ And Samuel said, What then is this bleating of the sheep in my ears, and the lowing of the oxen which I hear?

vw@1Samuel:15:17 @ And Samuel said, When you were little in your own eyes, were you not head of the tribes of Israel? And did not Jehovah anoint you king over Israel?

vw@1Samuel:15:18 @ Now Jehovah sent you on a mission, and said, Go, and utterly destroy the sinners, the Amalekites, and fight against them to finish them off.

vw@1Samuel:15:20 @ And Saul said to Samuel, But I have obeyed the voice of Jehovah, and gone on the mission to which Jehovah sent me, and brought back Agag the king of Amalek; I have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.

vw@1Samuel:15:22 @ And Samuel said: Has Jehovah as great a delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in to obey the voice of Jehovah? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to heed than the fat of rams.

vw@1Samuel:15:23 @ For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the Word of Jehovah, He also has rejected you from being king.

vw@1Samuel:15:26 @ And Samuel said to Saul, I will not return with you, for you have rejected the Word of Jehovah, and Jehovah has rejected you from being king over Israel.

vw@1Samuel:15:27 @ And as Samuel turned around to go away, Saul seized the edge of his robe, and it tore.

vw@1Samuel:15:28 @ And Samuel said to him, Jehovah has torn the kingdom of Israel from you today, and has given it to a neighbor of yours, who is better than you.

vw@1Samuel:15:29 @ And also the Emminence of Israel will not deal falsely nor repent. For He is not a man, to repent.

vw@1Samuel:15:30 @ And he said, I have sinned; yet honor me now, please, before the elders of my people and before Israel, and return with me, that I may bow down before Jehovah your God.

vw@1Samuel:15:34 @ And Samuel went to Ramah, and Saul went up to his house at Gibeah of Saul.

vw@1Samuel:15:35 @ And Samuel went no more to see Saul until the day of his death. Nevertheless Samuel mourned for Saul, and Jehovah was sorry that He had made Saul king over Israel.

vw@1Samuel:16:1 @ And Jehovah said to Samuel, How long will you mourn for Saul, seeing I have rejected him from reigning over Israel? Fill your horn with oil, and go; I am sending you to Jesse the Bethlehemite. For I have provided Myself a king among his sons.

vw@1Samuel:16:5 @ And he said, In peace. I have come to sacrifice unto Jehovah. Sanctify yourselves, and come with me to the sacrifice. And he consecrated Jesse and his sons, and invited them to the sacrifice.

vw@1Samuel:16:6 @ And it came about, when they came, that he looked at Eliab and thought, Surely the anointed of Jehovah is before Him.

vw@1Samuel:16:7 @ But Jehovah said to Samuel, Do not look at his appearance nor at the height of his stature, because I have refused him. For man does not see as He sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but Jehovah looks at the heart.

vw@1Samuel:16:8 @ So Jesse called Abinadab, and made him pass before Samuel. And he said, Neither has Jehovah chosen this one.

vw@1Samuel:16:9 @ Then Jesse made Shammah pass by. And he said, Neither has Jehovah chosen this one.

vw@1Samuel:16:10 @ Thus Jesse made seven of his sons pass before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, Jehovah has not chosen these.

vw@1Samuel:16:11 @ And Samuel said to Jesse, Are all the young men here? And he said, There remains yet the youngest, and behold, he is grazing the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and bring him. For we will not sit down till he comes here.

vw@1Samuel:16:12 @ And he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with beautiful eyes, and good appearance. And Jehovah said, Arise, anoint him; for this is the one!

vw@1Samuel:16:13 @ And Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of Jehovah rushed upon David from that day forward. And Samuel rose up and went to Ramah.

vw@1Samuel:16:15 @ And Saul’s servants said to him, Behold, an evil spirit from God is overwhelming you.

vw@1Samuel:16:16 @ Let our lord now command your servants, who are before you, to seek out a man who knows how to play the harp; and it shall be that he shall play it with his hand when the evil spirit from God is upon you, and you shall be well.

vw@1Samuel:16:17 @ So Saul said to his servants, Look now for a man who can play well, and bring him to me.

vw@1Samuel:16:18 @ Then one of the servants answered and said, Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite, who knows how to play, a mighty man of valor, a man of war, prudent in speech, and a handsome person; and Jehovah is with him.

vw@1Samuel:16:19 @ Therefore Saul sent messengers to Jesse, and said, Send me your son David, who is with the sheep.

vw@1Samuel:16:20 @ And Jesse took a donkey loaded with bread, a skin of wine, and a young goat, and sent them by his son David to Saul.

vw@1Samuel:16:21 @ And David came to Saul and stood before him. And he loved him greatly, and he became his armorbearer.

vw@1Samuel:16:23 @ And so it was, whenever the spirit from God was upon Saul, that David took the harp and played with his hand; and Saul was relieved and well, and the evil spirit departed from him.

vw@1Samuel:17:1 @ Now the Philistines gathered their armies together to battle, and were gathered together at Sochoh, which belongs to Judah; they encamped between Sochoh and Azekah, in Ephes Dammim.

vw@1Samuel:17:2 @ And Saul and the men of Israel were gathered together, and they encamped in the Valley of Elah, and drew up in battle array against the Philistines.

vw@1Samuel:17:3 @ The Philistines stood on a mountain on one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the other side, with the valley between them.

vw@1Samuel:17:4 @ And a man came out from the camp of the Philistines between the two armies, named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

vw@1Samuel:17:5 @ He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was wearing a coat of mail, and the weight of the coat was five thousand shekels of bronze.

vw@1Samuel:17:6 @ And he had armor of bronze on his legs, and a bronze gorget between his shoulders.

vw@1Samuel:17:7 @ The stock of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and his iron spearhead weighed six hundred shekels; and a shield bearer went before him.

vw@1Samuel:17:8 @ And he stood and called out to the ranks of Israel, and said to them, Why have you come out to be arrayed for battle? Am I not a Philistine, and you the servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves, and let him come down to me.

vw@1Samuel:17:9 @ If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will be your servants. But if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall be our servants and serve us.

vw@1Samuel:17:10 @ And the Philistine said, I defy the ranks of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may fight together.

vw@1Samuel:17:11 @ When Saul and all Israel heard these words of the Philistine, they were dismayed and greatly afraid.

vw@1Samuel:17:13 @ The three oldest sons of Jesse went out after Saul to the battle. And the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, next to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

vw@1Samuel:17:15 @ And David went and returned from Saul to feed his father’s sheep at Bethlehem.

vw@1Samuel:17:16 @ And the Philistine drew near and presented himself morning and evening, forty days.

vw@1Samuel:17:17 @ And Jesse said to his son David, Take now for your brothers an ephah of this roasted grain and these ten loaves, and run to your brothers at the camp.

vw@1Samuel:17:19 @ Now Saul and they and all the men of Israel were in the Valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

vw@1Samuel:17:21 @ For Israel and the Philistines had drawn up in battle array, rank against rank.

vw@1Samuel:17:22 @ And David left the things in the hand of the supply keeper, ran to the army, and came and inquired after the welfare of his brothers.

vw@1Samuel:17:23 @ And as he talked with them, behold the man came out from the ranks of the armies of the Philistines, between the two armies, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name; and he spoke according to the same words. And David heard.

vw@1Samuel:17:24 @ And all the men of Israel, when they saw the man, fled from him and were very much afraid.

vw@1Samuel:17:25 @ And the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man who comes up? Surely he has come up to defy Israel. And it shall be that the man who kills him, the king will enrich with great riches, will give him his daughter, and make his father’s house free from taxes in Israel.

vw@1Samuel:17:26 @ And David spoke to the men who stood by him, saying, What shall be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the ranks of the living God!

vw@1Samuel:17:27 @ And the people answered him in this manner, saying, Thus shall it be done for the man who kills him.

vw@1Samuel:17:28 @ Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab’s anger burned against David, and he said, Why did you come down here? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your pride and your naughty heart, for you have come down to see the battle.

vw@1Samuel:17:32 @ And David said to Saul, Let no man’s heart fail because of him; your servant shall go and fight with this Philistine.

vw@1Samuel:17:33 @ And Saul said to David, You are not able to go against this Philistine to fight with him; for you are a youth, and he a man of war from his youth.

vw@1Samuel:17:34 @ And David said to Saul, Your servant was grazing his father’s sheep; and when a lion or a bear came and took a lamb out of the flock,

vw@1Samuel:17:36 @ Your servant has killed both the lion and the bear; and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them, seeing he has reproached the ranks of the living God.

vw@1Samuel:17:37 @ Moreover David said, Jehovah, who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go, and Jehovah be with you!

vw@1Samuel:17:38 @ And Saul clothed David with his garments, and he put a bronze helmet on his head, and clothed him with body armor.

vw@1Samuel:17:39 @ And David girded his sword to his armor and tried to walk, for he had not tested them. And David said to Saul, I cannot walk with these, for I have not tested them. And David took them off.

vw@1Samuel:17:40 @ Then he took his staff in his hand; and he chose for himself five smooth stones from the brook, and put them in the shepherd’s bag, in a pouch which he had, and his sling was in his hand. And he drew near to the Philistine.

vw@1Samuel:17:41 @ And the Philistine proceeded to come near to David, with the man carrying the shield before him.

vw@1Samuel:17:42 @ And when the Philistine considered and saw David, he disdained him; for he was only a youth, ruddy and of good appearance.

vw@1Samuel:17:43 @ And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you are coming to me with sticks? And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

vw@1Samuel:17:44 @ And the Philistine said to David, Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the heavens and the beasts of the field!

vw@1Samuel:17:45 @ Then David said to the Philistine, You are coming to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I am coming to you in the name of Jehovah of Hosts, the God of the ranks of Israel, whom you have reproached.

vw@1Samuel:17:46 @ This day Jehovah will deliver you into my hand, and I will strike you and take your head from you. And this day I will give the carcasses of the camp of the Philistines to the birds of the heavens and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

vw@1Samuel:17:47 @ Then all this assembly shall know that Jehovah does not save with sword and spear; for the battle is Jehovah’s, and He has given you into our hands.

vw@1Samuel:17:48 @ So it was, when the Philistine arose and came and drew near to meet David, that David hastened and ran toward the battle line to meet the Philistine.

vw@1Samuel:17:49 @ And David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone; and he slung it and struck the Philistine in his forehead, so that the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell on his face to the earth.

vw@1Samuel:17:50 @ So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. But there was no sword in the hand of David.

vw@1Samuel:17:51 @ Therefore David ran and stood over the Philistine, took his sword and drew it out of its sheath and killed him, and cut off his head with it. And when the Philistines saw that their strong man was dead, they fled.

vw@1Samuel:17:52 @ And the men of Israel and Judah rose up and shouted, and pursued the Philistines as far as the entrance of the valley and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell along the way to Shaaraim, even as far as Gath and Ekron.

vw@1Samuel:17:53 @ And the sons of Israel returned from hotly pursuing the Philistines, and plundered their camps.

vw@1Samuel:17:54 @ And David took the head of the Philistine and brought it to Jerusalem, but he put his weapons in his tent.

vw@1Samuel:17:55 @ Now when Saul saw David going out to meet the Philistine, he said to Abner, the commander of the army, Abner, whose son is this youth? And Abner said, As your soul lives, O king, I do not know.

vw@1Samuel:17:56 @ So the king said, Inquire whose son this young man is.

vw@1Samuel:17:57 @ So when David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand.

vw@1Samuel:18:1 @ Now when he had finished speaking to Saul, the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.

vw@1Samuel:18:2 @ And Saul took him that day, and would not let him return to his father’s house.

vw@1Samuel:18:3 @ And Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.

vw@1Samuel:18:4 @ And Jonathan took off the robe that was on him and gave it to David, with his garments, even to his sword and his bow and his belt.

vw@1Samuel:18:5 @ And David went out wherever Saul sent him, and behaved wisely. And Saul set him over the men of war, and he was pleasing in the eyes of all the people and also in the eyes of Saul’s servants.

vw@1Samuel:18:6 @ And it happened as they were coming, as David was returning from killing the Philistine, that the women came out from all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy, and with instruments of the triad.

vw@1Samuel:18:7 @ And the women responded as they played, and said: Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands.

vw@1Samuel:18:8 @ And Saul was very furious, and the saying made his eyes quiver; and he said, They have ascribed to David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed only thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?

vw@1Samuel:18:10 @ And it happened on the next day that the evil spirit from God rushed upon Saul, and he prophesied inside the house. So David played music with his hand, as at other times; and there was a spear in Saul’s hand.

vw@1Samuel:18:11 @ And Saul threw the spear, for he thought, I will strike David to the wall! But David turned away from his presence twice.

vw@1Samuel:18:13 @ Therefore Saul removed him from being with him, and made him his commander over a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.

vw@1Samuel:18:14 @ And David behaved wisely in all his ways, and Jehovah was with him.

vw@1Samuel:18:15 @ Therefore, when Saul saw that he behaved very wisely, he was afraid of him.

vw@1Samuel:18:16 @ But all Israel and Judah loved David, because he went out and came in before them.

vw@1Samuel:18:17 @ And Saul said to David, Here is my older daughter Merab; I will give her to you as a wife. Only be valiant for me, and fight the battles of Jehovah. For Saul thought, Let my hand not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him.

vw@1Samuel:18:18 @ And David said to Saul, Who am I, and what is my life or my father’s family in Israel, that I should be son-in-law to the king?

vw@1Samuel:18:20 @ Now Michal, Saul’s daughter, loved David. And they told Saul, and the thing was agreeable in his eyes.

vw@1Samuel:18:21 @ And Saul said, I will give her to him, that she may be a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him. Therefore Saul said to David a second time, You shall be my son-in-law today.

vw@1Samuel:18:22 @ And Saul commanded his servants, Speak with David secretly, and say, Behold, the king has delighted in you, and all his servants love you. Now therefore, become the king’s son-in-law.

vw@1Samuel:18:23 @ And Saul’s servants spoke those words in David’s ears. And David said, Is it a slight thing in your eyes to be a king’s son-in-law, seeing as how I am a poor man and lightly esteemed?

vw@1Samuel:18:24 @ And the servants of Saul reported to him, saying, In this manner David has spoken.

vw@1Samuel:18:25 @ And Saul said, Thus you shall say to David: The king does not desire any dowry but one hundred foreskins of the Philistines, to take vengeance on the king’s enemies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the hand of the Philistines.

vw@1Samuel:18:26 @ And when his servants told David these words, the thing was agreeable in David’s eyes, to become the king’s son-in-law. And the day had not ended;

vw@1Samuel:18:27 @ therefore David rose up and went out, he and his men, and killed two hundred men of the Philistines. And David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full count to the king, that he might become the king’s son-in-law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter as a wife.

vw@1Samuel:18:30 @ And the commanders of the Philistines went out to war. And so it was, whenever they went out, that David behaved more wisely than all the servants of Saul, so that his name became highly esteemed.

vw@1Samuel:19:1 @ And Saul spoke to Jonathan his son and to all his servants, that they should kill David.

vw@1Samuel:19:2 @ But Jonathan, Saul’s son, delighted greatly in David; so Jonathan informed David, saying, My father Saul is seeking to kill you. Therefore please be on your guard until morning, and stay in a secret place and hide.

vw@1Samuel:19:4 @ Thus Jonathan spoke well of David to Saul his father, and said to him, Let not the king sin against his servant, against David, because he has not sinned against you, and because his works have been very good toward you.

vw@1Samuel:19:5 @ For he took his soul in his own hands and killed the Philistine, and Jehovah brought about a great deliverance for all Israel. You saw it and rejoiced. Why then would you sin against innocent blood, to kill David without a cause?

vw@1Samuel:19:6 @ So Saul listened to the voice of Jonathan, and Saul swore, As Jehovah lives, he shall not be killed.

vw@1Samuel:19:8 @ And there was war again; and David went out and fought with the Philistines, and struck them with a great slaughter, and they fled before him.

vw@1Samuel:19:9 @ And the evil spirit from Jehovah was upon Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. And David was playing music with his hand.

vw@1Samuel:19:14 @ So when Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, He is sick.

vw@1Samuel:19:17 @ And Saul said to Michal, Why have you deceived me like this, and sent my enemy away, so that he has escaped? And Michal answered Saul, He said to me, Let me go! Why should I kill you?

vw@1Samuel:19:19 @ Now it was reported to Saul, saying, Behold, David is at Naioth in Ramah!

vw@1Samuel:19:21 @ And when it was reported to Saul, he sent other messengers, and they prophesied likewise. Then Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.

vw@1Samuel:19:22 @ Then he also went to Ramah, and came to the great well that is at Sechu. And he asked, and said, Where are Samuel and David? And someone said, Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah.

vw@1Samuel:19:24 @ And he also stripped off his clothes and prophesied before Samuel in like manner, and lay down naked all that day and all that night. Therefore they say, Is Saul also among the prophets?

vw@1Samuel:20:1 @ And David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and went and said to Jonathan’s face, What have I done? What is my iniquity, and what is my sin before your father, that he is seeking my life?

vw@1Samuel:20:2 @ And Jonathan said to him, Let it not be! You shall not die! Behold, my father will do nothing either great or small but that he will disclose it in my ear. And why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so!

vw@1Samuel:20:3 @ And David swore and said, Your father has perceived to know that I have found favor in your eyes, and he has said, Do not let Jonathan know this, lest he be grieved. But surely, as Jehovah lives and as your soul lives, there is but a step between me and death.

vw@1Samuel:20:5 @ And David said to Jonathan, Behold tomorrow is the New Moon, and I should remain to sit with the king to eat. But let me go, that I may hide in the field until the third evening.

vw@1Samuel:20:6 @ If your father notices and misses me, then answer, David has asked for himself a leave of absence that he might run to Bethlehem, his city, for there is a yearly sacrifice there for all the family.

vw@1Samuel:20:7 @ If he says thus: Good, your servant will be safe. But if he burns with fury, then know that evil is determined by him.

vw@1Samuel:20:8 @ Therefore you shall deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of Jehovah with you. However, if there is iniquity in me, kill me yourself, for why should you bring me to your father?

vw@1Samuel:20:12 @ And Jonathan said to David: Jehovah the God of Israel is witness! When I have searched out my father sometime tomorrow, or the third day, and there is good toward David, and I have not disclosed it in your ear,

vw@1Samuel:20:13 @ may Jehovah do so and much more to Jonathan. But if it pleases my father to do you evil, then I will disclose it in your ear and send you away, that you may go in peace. And Jehovah be with you as He was with my father.

vw@1Samuel:20:17 @ And Jonathan again caused David to swear, because he loved him; for he loved him as he loved his own soul.

vw@1Samuel:20:18 @ Then Jonathan said to David, Tomorrow is the New Moon; and you will be missed, because your seat will be empty.

vw@1Samuel:20:21 @ and there I will send a lad, saying, Go, find the arrows. If I answer to say to him, Behold, the arrows are on this side of you; get them and come; then, as Jehovah lives, there is peace for you and nothing else.

vw@1Samuel:20:23 @ And as for the matter which you and I have spoken of, behold Jehovah is between you and me forever.

vw@1Samuel:20:25 @ Now the king sat on his seat, as at other times, on a seat by the wall. And Jonathan rose up, and Abner sat by Saul’s side, but David’s place was empty.

vw@1Samuel:20:26 @ Nevertheless Saul did not say anything that day, for he thought, Something has happened to him; he is not clean, surely he is not clean.

vw@1Samuel:20:27 @ And it happened the next day, the second day of the month, that David’s place was empty. And Saul said to Jonathan his son, Why has the son of Jesse not come to the meal, either yesterday or today?

vw@1Samuel:20:31 @ For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, you shall not be established, nor your kingdom. Now therefore, send and bring him to me, for he is a son of death.

vw@1Samuel:20:32 @ And Jonathan answered Saul his father, and said to him, Why should he be killed? What has he done?

vw@1Samuel:20:33 @ And Saul threw a spear at him to kill him, by which Jonathan knew that it was determined by his father to kill David.

vw@1Samuel:20:34 @ So Jonathan rose up from the table in burning anger, and ate no food the second day of the new moon, for he was grieved for David, because his father had shamed him.

vw@1Samuel:20:37 @ When the boy had come to the place where the arrow was which Jonathan had shot, Jonathan called out after the boy and said, Is not the arrow beyond you?

vw@1Samuel:20:38 @ And Jonathan called out after the boy, Make haste, hurry, do not delay! So Jonathan’s boy gathered up the arrows and came back to his master.

vw@1Samuel:20:40 @ And Jonathan gave his weapons to the boy, and said to him, Go, carry them to the city.

vw@1Samuel:20:41 @ And as soon as the boy had gone, David rose up from a place on the south side, fell on his face to the ground, and bowed down three times. And they kissed one another; and they wept together, but David more so.

vw@1Samuel:21:1 @ And David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest. And Ahimelech trembled when he met David, and said to him, Why are you alone, and no one is with you?

vw@1Samuel:21:4 @ And the priest answered David and said, There is no common bread on hand; but there is holy bread, if the young men have at least kept themselves from women.

vw@1Samuel:21:5 @ And David answered the priest, and said to him, Truly, women have been kept from us about three days since I came out. And the vessels of the young men are holy, and in a way the bread is common, even though it was consecrated in the vessel today.

vw@1Samuel:21:7 @ Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before Jehovah. And his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chief of Saul’s shepherds.

vw@1Samuel:21:8 @ And David said to Ahimelech, Is there not here on hand a spear or a sword? For I have brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king’s business came about urgently.

vw@1Samuel:21:9 @ And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the Valley of Elah, behold, it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod. If you will take that, take it. For there is no other except that one here. And David said, There is none like it; give it to me.

vw@1Samuel:21:10 @ And David rose up and fled that day from the face of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath.

vw@1Samuel:21:11 @ And the servants of Achish said to him, Is this not David the king of the land? Did they not sing of him in dances, saying: Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

vw@1Samuel:21:12 @ And David took these words to heart, and was very much afraid before Achish the king of Gath.

vw@1Samuel:21:13 @ And he changed his behavior in their eyes, acted like a mad man in their hands, scratched marks on the doors of the gate, and let his spittle fall into his beard.

vw@1Samuel:21:14 @ Then Achish said to his servants, Behold, see how the man is mad. Why did you bring him to me?

vw@1Samuel:21:15 @ Have I need of madmen, that you have brought this fellow to show madness in my presence? Shall this fellow come into my house?

vw@1Samuel:22:1 @ David therefore departed from there and escaped to the cave of Adullam. And when his brothers and all his father’s house heard it, they went down there to him.

vw@1Samuel:22:2 @ And everyone who was in distress, everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was of a bitter soul gathered to him. So he became commander over them. And there were about four hundred men with him.

vw@1Samuel:22:6 @ And when Saul heard that David and the men with him had been discovered (now Saul was staying in Gibeah under a tamarisk tree in Ramah, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants standing about him);

vw@1Samuel:22:7 @ then Saul said to his servants who stood about him, Hear now, you Benjamites! Will the son of Jesse give every one of you fields and vineyards, and make you all commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds?

vw@1Samuel:22:8 @ All of you have conspired against me, and not one is disclosing in my ear that my son made a covenant with the son of Jesse; and not one of you is sorry for me nor is disclosing in my ear that my son has stirred up my servant against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day.

vw@1Samuel:22:10 @ And he inquired of Jehovah for him, gave him provisions, and gave him the sword of Goliath the Philistine.

vw@1Samuel:22:11 @ So the king sent to summon Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father’s house, the priests who were at Nob. And they all came to the king.

vw@1Samuel:22:12 @ And Saul said, Listen now, son of Ahitub! And he answered, Here I am, my lord.

vw@1Samuel:22:13 @ And Saul said to him, Why have you conspired against me, you and the son of Jesse, in that you have given him bread and a sword, and have inquired of God for him, that he should rise up against me, to lie in wait, as it is this day?

vw@1Samuel:22:14 @ And Ahimelech answered the king and said, And who among all your servants is as faithful as David, who is the king’s son-in-law, who goes at your bidding, and is honorable in all your house?

vw@1Samuel:22:15 @ Have I this day begun to inquire of God for him? Let it not be! Let not the king impute anything to his servant, or to any in the house of my father; for your servant has known nothing of all this, little or much.

vw@1Samuel:22:17 @ And the king said to the guards who stood about him, Turn and kill the priests of Jehovah, because their hand also is with David, and because they knew when he was fleeing and did not disclose it in my ear. But the servants of the king would not lift their hands to fall upon the priests of Jehovah.

vw@1Samuel:23:1 @ Then they reported to David, saying, Behold, the Philistines are fighting against Keilah, and they are plundering the threshing floors.

vw@1Samuel:23:2 @ Therefore David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go and strike these Philistines? And Jehovah said to David, Go and strike the Philistines, and save Keilah.

vw@1Samuel:23:3 @ And David’s men said to him, Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the ranks of the Philistines?

vw@1Samuel:23:4 @ So David inquired of Jehovah once again. And Jehovah answered him and said, Arise, go down to Keilah. For I am delivering the Philistines into your hand.

vw@1Samuel:23:5 @ And David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines, struck them with a great slaughter, and led away their livestock. Thus David saved the inhabitants of Keilah.

vw@1Samuel:23:6 @ And it happened, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David at Keilah, that he had come down with an ephod in his hand.

vw@1Samuel:23:8 @ And Saul summoned all the people together for war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.

vw@1Samuel:23:10 @ Then David said, O Jehovah the God of Israel, Your servant has heard to understand that Saul seeks to come to Keilah to destroy the city because of me.

vw@1Samuel:23:11 @ Will the men of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down, as Your servant has heard? O Jehovah the God of Israel, I pray, tell Your servant. And Jehovah said, He will come down.

vw@1Samuel:23:13 @ And David and his men, about six hundred, arose and departed from Keilah and went wherever they could go. Then it was reported to Saul that David had escaped from Keilah; so he left off to go.

vw@1Samuel:23:14 @ And David stayed in strongholds in the wilderness, and remained in the mountains in the wilderness of Ziph. And Saul sought him every day, but God did not deliver him into his hand.

vw@1Samuel:23:15 @ And David saw that Saul had come out to seek his soul. And David was in the wilderness of Ziph in a forest.

vw@1Samuel:23:16 @ And Jonathan, Saul’s son, arose and went to David in the forest and encouraged his hand in God.

vw@1Samuel:23:17 @ And he said to him, Do not fear, for the hand of Saul my father shall not find you. You shall be king over Israel, and I shall be next to you. And my father Saul knows that.

vw@1Samuel:23:18 @ And the two of them made a covenant before Jehovah. And David stayed in the forest, and Jonathan went to his house.

vw@1Samuel:23:19 @ Then the Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, Is David not hiding with us in strongholds in the forest, in the hill of Hachilah, which is south of the desert?

vw@1Samuel:23:22 @ Please go and find out for sure, know and see the place where his feet are, and who has seen him there; for it has been said that he is crafty and shrewd.

vw@1Samuel:23:23 @ See therefore, and take knowledge of all the lurking places where he hides; and come back to me with certainty, and I shall go with you. And it shall be, if he is in the land, that I shall search for him throughout all the thousands of Judah.

vw@1Samuel:23:24 @ And they arose and went to Ziph before Saul. But David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the plain to the south of the desert.

vw@1Samuel:23:25 @ And when Saul and his men went to seek him, they reported it to David. Therefore he went down to the rock, and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard that, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon.

vw@1Samuel:23:26 @ And Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain. And David made haste to get away from Saul, for Saul and his men were encircling David and his men to catch them.

vw@1Samuel:23:27 @ But a messenger came to Saul, saying, Hasten and come, for the Philistines have raided the land!

vw@1Samuel:23:28 @ Therefore Saul returned from pursuing David, and went to meet the Philistines; therefore they called that place the Rock of Escape.

vw@1Samuel:24:1 @ Now it happened, when Saul had returned from going after the Philistines, that it was reported to him, saying, Behold, David is in the wilderness of En Gedi.

vw@1Samuel:24:2 @ Then Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel, and went to seek David and his men on the rocks of the mountain goats.

vw@1Samuel:24:3 @ And he came to the sheepfolds by the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. And David and his men were staying in the recesses of the cave.

vw@1Samuel:24:4 @ And David’s men said to him, This is the day of which Jehovah has said to you, Behold, I will deliver your enemy into your hand, that you may do to him as is pleasing in your eyes. And David arose and secretly cut off the skirt of Saul’s robe.

vw@1Samuel:24:6 @ And he said to his men, Jehovah forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the anointed of Jehovah, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of Jehovah.

vw@1Samuel:24:7 @ So David restrained his men with these words, and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. And Saul rose up from the cave and went on his way.

vw@1Samuel:24:8 @ David also rose up afterward, went out of the cave, and called out after Saul, saying, My lord the king! And when Saul looked behind him, David bowed with his face to the earth, and prostrated himself.

vw@1Samuel:24:9 @ And David said to Saul: Why do you listen to the words of men who say, Behold David is seeking to hurt you?

vw@1Samuel:24:10 @ Behold, this day your eyes have seen that Jehovah has delivered you today into my hand in the cave, and some had intended to kill you. But my eye spared you, and I said, I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the anointed of Jehovah.

vw@1Samuel:24:11 @ Moreover, my father, look! Indeed, see the skirt of your robe in my hand! For in that I cut off the skirt of your robe, and did not kill you, recognize and consider that there is neither evil nor transgression in my hand, and I have not sinned against you. And yet you are hunting my soul to take it.

vw@1Samuel:24:14 @ After whom has the king of Israel come out? After whom are you pursuing? After a dead dog? After a flea?

vw@1Samuel:24:15 @ Therefore Jehovah is judge, and has judged between you and me, and shall see and plead my case, and deliver me out of your hand.

vw@1Samuel:24:16 @ And so it was, when David had finished speaking these words to Saul, that Saul said, Is this your voice, my son David? And Saul lifted up his voice and wept.

vw@1Samuel:24:18 @ And you have shown this day how you have dealt well with me; for when Jehovah had delivered me into your hand, you have not killed me.

vw@1Samuel:24:19 @ For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away with good will? Therefore may Jehovah reward you with good for what you have done to me this day.

vw@1Samuel:24:20 @ And now, behold, I know that you shall reign to be king, and that the kingdom of Israel shall be established in your hand.

vw@1Samuel:24:22 @ And David swore to Saul. And Saul went home, and David and his men went up to the stronghold.

vw@1Samuel:25:1 @ And Samuel died; and all Israel gathered together and mourned for him, and buried him at his home at Ramah. And David arose and went down to the wilderness of Paran.

vw@1Samuel:25:2 @ And there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel, and the man was very great. He had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. And he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.

vw@1Samuel:25:3 @ The name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. And she was a woman of good understanding and beautiful appearance; but the man was harsh and evil in his dealings. And he was of the house of Caleb.

vw@1Samuel:25:4 @ When David heard in the wilderness that Nabal was shearing his sheep,

vw@1Samuel:25:5 @ David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, Go up to Carmel, and when you have come to Nabal, and asked after his welfare in my name,

vw@1Samuel:25:7 @ Now I have heard that you have shearers. Your shepherds were with us, and we have not hurt them, nor has there been anything missing from them all the days they were in Carmel.

vw@1Samuel:25:10 @ And Nabal answered David’s servants, and said, Who is David, and who is the son of Jesse? There are many servants these days breaking away each one from his master.

vw@1Samuel:25:13 @ And David said to his men, Every man gird on his sword. So every man girded on his sword, and David also girded on his sword. And about four hundred men went up after David, and two hundred stayed with the supplies.

vw@1Samuel:25:15 @ But the men were very good to us, and we have not been shamed, nor have we missed anything all the days we have traversed with them, when we were in the fields.

vw@1Samuel:25:17 @ Now therefore, know and consider what you will do, for harm is determined against our master and against all his household. For he is a son of worthlessness, that no one can speak to him.

vw@1Samuel:25:18 @ Then Abigail made haste and took two hundred loaves of bread, two skins of wine, five sheep already done, five measures of roasted grain, one hundred clusters of raisins, and two hundred cakes of figs, and loaded them on donkeys.

vw@1Samuel:25:20 @ And so it was, as she rode on the donkey, that she went down under cover of the hill; and behold, David and his men were coming down toward her; and she met them.

vw@1Samuel:25:21 @ Now David had thought to himself, Surely in vain I have protected all that this fellow has in the wilderness, so that nothing has been missing of all that belongs to him. And he has repaid me evil for good.

vw@1Samuel:25:23 @ Now when Abigail saw David, she hastened to dismount from the donkey, fell on her face before David, and prostrated to the ground.

vw@1Samuel:25:24 @ And she fell at his feet and said: On me, my lord, on me be this iniquity! And please let your handmaid speak in your ears, and hear the words of your handmaid.

vw@1Samuel:25:25 @ Please, let not my lord set his heart on this man of worthlessness, Nabal. For as his name is, so is he: Nabal is his name, and folly is with him. But I, your handmaid, did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.

vw@1Samuel:25:27 @ And now this blessing which your handmaid has brought to my lord, let it be given to the young men who travel on foot with my lord.

vw@1Samuel:25:28 @ Please forgive the trespass of your handmaid; for Jehovah will bring about to prepare an established house for my lord, because my lord is fighting the battles of Jehovah, and evil is not found in you all your days.

vw@1Samuel:25:29 @ If a man arises to pursue you and seek your soul, the soul of my lord shall be bound up in the bundle of life with Jehovah your God; and the souls of your enemies He shall sling out, as from the pocket of a sling.

vw@1Samuel:25:30 @ And it shall come to pass, when Jehovah has done for my lord according to all the good that He has spoken concerning you, and has appointed you ruler over Israel,

vw@1Samuel:25:31 @ that this will not be a matter of conscience, nor stumbling of heart to my lord, either that you have shed blood without cause, or that my lord has delivered himself. But when Jehovah has dealt well with my lord, then remember your handmaid.

vw@1Samuel:25:32 @ And David said to Abigail: Blessed is Jehovah the God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me!

vw@1Samuel:25:33 @ And blessed is your discernment and blessed are you, because you have kept me this day from coming to blood and from delivering myself with my own hand.

vw@1Samuel:25:34 @ For indeed, as Jehovah the God of Israel lives, who has kept me back from hurting you, unless you had hastened and come to meet me, surely by morning light there would not have been left to Nabal any who urinate against a wall!

vw@1Samuel:25:36 @ And Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal’s heart was merry within him, for he was exceedingly drunk; therefore she did not tell him a word, little or much, until morning light.

vw@1Samuel:25:37 @ And it came to pass in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, and his wife had informed him of these things, that his heart died within him, and he became like a stone.

vw@1Samuel:25:39 @ And when David heard that Nabal had died, he said, Blessed is Jehovah, who has pleaded the cause of my reproach at the hand of Nabal, and has kept His servant from evil! For Jehovah has returned the evil of Nabal upon his own head. And David sent and spoke to Abigail, to take her as his wife.

vw@1Samuel:25:42 @ And Abigail hurried and rose up and rode on a donkey, with five of her maidens going on foot; and she went after the messengers of David, and became his wife.

vw@1Samuel:25:43 @ David also took Ahinoam of Jezreel; both of them were his wives.

vw@1Samuel:25:44 @ And Saul had given Michal his daughter, David’s wife, to Palti the son of Laish, who was from Gallim.

vw@1Samuel:26:1 @ Now the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, Is David not hiding in the hill of Hachilah, before the desert?

vw@1Samuel:26:2 @ Then Saul rose up and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand chosen men of Israel with him, to seek David in the wilderness of Ziph.

vw@1Samuel:26:3 @ And Saul encamped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before the desert, by the way. But David stayed in the wilderness, and he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness.

vw@1Samuel:26:5 @ And David rose up and came to the place where Saul had encamped. And David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army. And Saul was lying within the entrenchment, with the people encamped all around him.

vw@1Samuel:26:6 @ Then David answered, and said to Ahimelech the Hittite and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, saying, Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp? And Abishai said, I will go down with you.

vw@1Samuel:26:7 @ So David and Abishai came to the people by night; and behold Saul was lying down sleeping within the entrenchment, with his spear stuck in the ground by his head. And Abner and the people were lying all around him.

vw@1Samuel:26:8 @ Then Abishai said to David, God has delivered your enemy into your hand this day. Now therefore, please, let me strike him with the spear, into the earth one time; and I will not strike him again.

vw@1Samuel:26:9 @ And David said to Abishai, Do not destroy him; for who can stretch out his hand against the anointed of Jehovah, and be guiltless?

vw@1Samuel:26:10 @ David said furthermore, As Jehovah lives, Jehovah shall strike him, or his day shall come to have died, or he shall go out to battle and will have perished.

vw@1Samuel:26:11 @ Jehovah forbid that I should stretch out my hand against the anointed of Jehovah. But please, take now the spear and the jug of water that are by his head, and let us go.

vw@1Samuel:26:13 @ And David went over to the other side, and stood on the top of a hill afar off, with a great distance between them.

vw@1Samuel:26:15 @ And David said to Abner, Are you not a man? And who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people came in to destroy your lord the king.

vw@1Samuel:26:16 @ This thing that you have done is not good. As Jehovah lives, you are sons of death, because you have not guarded your master, the anointed of Jehovah. And now see where the king’s spear is, and the jug of water that was by his head.

vw@1Samuel:26:17 @ And Saul recognized David’s voice, and said, Is that your voice, my son David? And David said, It is my voice, my lord, O king.

vw@1Samuel:26:18 @ And he said, Why does my lord thus pursue his servant? For what have I done, or what evil is in my hand?

vw@1Samuel:26:19 @ Now therefore, please, let my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If Jehovah has stirred you up against me, let Him accept an offering. But if it is the sons of men, may they be cursed before Jehovah, for they have driven me out this day from joining in the inheritance of Jehovah, saying, Go, serve other gods.

vw@1Samuel:26:20 @ So now, do not let my blood fall to the earth before the face of Jehovah. For the king of Israel has come out to seek a flea, as when one hunts a partridge in the mountains.

vw@1Samuel:26:21 @ Then Saul said, I have sinned. Return, my son David. For I will harm you no more, because my soul was precious in your eyes this day. Indeed I have acted foolishly and erred exceedingly.

vw@1Samuel:26:22 @ And David answered and said, Here is the king’s spear. Let one of the young men come over and get it.

vw@1Samuel:26:23 @ May Jehovah repay every man for his righteousness and his faithfulness; for Jehovah has delivered you into my hand today, but I would not stretch out my hand against the anointed of Jehovah.

vw@1Samuel:26:24 @ And behold, as your soul has been magnified this day in my eyes, so let my soul be magnified in the eyes of Jehovah, and let Him deliver me out of all distress.

vw@1Samuel:26:25 @ Then Saul said to David, May you be blessed, my son David! You shall bring about to do, and shall prevail to accomplish. So David went his way, and Saul returned to his place.

vw@1Samuel:27:1 @ And David thought in his heart, Now I shall perish one day at the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than that I should slip away to escape to the land of the Philistines; and Saul will despair of me, to seek me anymore in any part of Israel. Thus I shall escape out of his hand.

vw@1Samuel:27:2 @ And David arose and crossed over with the six hundred men who were with him to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

vw@1Samuel:27:3 @ So David dwelt with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each man with his household, and David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal’s widowed wife.

vw@1Samuel:27:5 @ And David said to Achish, If I have now found favor in your eyes, let them give me a place in some town in the land, that I may dwell there. For why should your servant dwell in the royal city with you?

vw@1Samuel:27:6 @ So Achish gave him Ziklag that day. Therefore Ziklag has belonged to the kings of Judah to this day.

vw@1Samuel:27:7 @ Now the number of days that David dwelt in the land of the Philistines was a year and four months.

vw@1Samuel:27:8 @ And David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites, the Girzites, and the Amalekites. For those nations were the inhabitants of the land from antiquity, as you come to Shur, as far as the land of Egypt.

vw@1Samuel:27:9 @ And whenever David struck the land, he left neither man nor woman alive, but took away the sheep, the oxen, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing, and returned and came to Achish.

vw@1Samuel:27:10 @ And Achish would say, Did you not make a raid today? And David would say, Against the southern area of Judah, or against the southern area of the Jerahmeelites, or against the southern area of the Kenites.

vw@1Samuel:27:11 @ And David would save alive neither man nor woman, to come to Gath; thinking, Lest they should report on us, saying, Thus has David done. And this was his manner all the days he dwelt in the land of the Philistines.

vw@1Samuel:27:12 @ And Achish believed David, thinking, He has made himself odious to be abhorrent to his people Israel; therefore he will be my servant forever.

vw@1Samuel:28:1 @ Now it happened in those days that the Philistines gathered their armies together for war, to fight with Israel. And Achish said to David, You recognize to understand that you shall go out with me to battle, you and your men.

vw@1Samuel:28:2 @ And David said to Achish, Surely you know what your servant can do. And Achish said to David, Therefore I shall make you guard over my head all the days.

vw@1Samuel:28:3 @ Now Samuel had died, and all Israel had mourned for him and buried him in Ramah, in his own city. And Saul had put the mediums and the fortunetellers out of the land.

vw@1Samuel:28:4 @ And the Philistines gathered together, and came and encamped at Shunem. So Saul gathered all Israel together, and they encamped at Gilboa.

vw@1Samuel:28:5 @ And when Saul saw the camp of the Philistines, he was afraid, and his heart trembled greatly.

vw@1Samuel:28:7 @ Then Saul said to his servants, Find me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman who is a medium at En Dor.

vw@1Samuel:28:8 @ And Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes, and he went, and two men with him; and they came to the woman by night. And he said, Please divine for me by necromancy, and bring up for me the one I shall say to you.

vw@1Samuel:28:10 @ And Saul swore to her by Jehovah, saying, As Jehovah lives, no punishment shall befall you for this thing.

vw@1Samuel:28:14 @ And he said to her, What is his appearance? And she said, An old man is coming up, and he is wrapped with a robe. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he bowed down with his face to the ground and prostrated himself.

vw@1Samuel:28:15 @ And Samuel said to Saul, Why have you disturbed me to bring me up? And Saul answered, I am deeply distressed; for the Philistines make war against me, and God has departed from me and does not answer me anymore, either by prophets nor by dreams. Therefore I have called you, to make known to me what I should do.

vw@1Samuel:28:16 @ Then Samuel said: Why then do you ask me, seeing Jehovah has departed from you and is your enemy?

vw@1Samuel:28:18 @ Because you have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah nor executed His fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore Jehovah has done this thing to you this day.

vw@1Samuel:28:19 @ Moreover Jehovah will also deliver Israel with you into the hand of the Philistines. And tomorrow you and your sons shall be with me. Jehovah will also deliver the army of Israel into the hand of the Philistines.

vw@1Samuel:28:22 @ Now therefore, please, also listen the voice of your handmaid, and let me set a piece of bread before you; and eat, that you may have strength when you go on your way.

vw@1Samuel:28:23 @ But he refused and said, I will not eat. So his servants, together with the woman, urged him; and he heeded their voice; and arose from the ground and sat on the bed.

vw@1Samuel:28:25 @ And she brought it before Saul and his servants, and they ate. Then they rose up and went away that night.

vw@1Samuel:29:1 @ Now the Philistines gathered together all their armies at Aphek, and Israel encamped by a fountain which is in Jezreel.

vw@1Samuel:29:2 @ And the rulers of the Philistines were passing over by the hundreds and thousands. And David and his men were passing over at the rear with Achish.

vw@1Samuel:29:3 @ Then the commanders of the Philistines said, What are these Hebrews doing here? And Achish said to the commanders of the Philistines, Is this not David, the servant of Saul king of Israel, who has been with me these days and years? And to this day I have found no fault in him since he defected to me.

vw@1Samuel:29:4 @ But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with him; so the commanders of the Philistines said to him, Make this fellow return, that he may go back to the place which you have appointed for him, and do not let him go down with us to battle, lest in the battle he become our adversary. For with what could he make himself pleasing to his master, if not with the heads of these men?

vw@1Samuel:29:5 @ Is this not David, of whom they sang in dances, saying: Saul has slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands?

vw@1Samuel:29:6 @ Then Achish summoned David and said to him, Surely, as Jehovah lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army is good in my eyes. For to this day I have not found evil in you since the day of your coming to me. Nevertheless you are not pleasing in the eyes of the rulers.

vw@1Samuel:29:7 @ Therefore now, return and go in peace, that you may not do evil in the eyes of the rulers of the Philistines.

vw@1Samuel:29:8 @ And David said to Achish, But what have I done? And what have you found in your servant as I have been before you to this day, that I should not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?

vw@1Samuel:29:9 @ And Achish answered and said to David, I know that you are as good in my eyes as an angel of God; nevertheless the commanders of the Philistines have said, He shall not go up with us to the battle.

vw@1Samuel:29:10 @ Now therefore, rise up early in the morning with your master’s servants who have come with you. And as soon as you are up early in the morning and have light, depart.

vw@1Samuel:29:11 @ So David and his men arose early in the morning to depart, to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

vw@1Samuel:30:1 @ Now it happened, when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, that the Amalekites had raided the south and Ziklag, struck Ziklag and burned it with fire,

vw@1Samuel:30:3 @ So David and his men came into the city, and behold, it was burned with fire; and their wives, their sons, and their daughters had been taken captive.

vw@1Samuel:30:6 @ And David was greatly distressed, for the people spoke of stoning him, because the souls of all the people had become bitter, every man for his sons and his daughters. But David strengthened himself in Jehovah his God.

vw@1Samuel:30:8 @ And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I pursue this troop? Shall I overtake them? And He answered him, Pursue, for you shall reach to overtake them, and rescue to recover all.

vw@1Samuel:30:12 @ And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs and two clusters of raisins. So when he had eaten, his spirit revived; for he had eaten no bread nor drunk water for three days and three nights.

vw@1Samuel:30:15 @ And David said to him, Can you bring me down to this troop? So he said, Swear to me by God that you will neither kill me nor deliver me into the hands of my master, and I will bring you down to this troop.

vw@1Samuel:30:16 @ And when he had brought him down, behold, they were spread out over the face of the land, eating and drinking and dancing, because of all the great spoils which they had taken from the land of the Philistines and from the land of Judah.

vw@1Samuel:30:18 @ And David recovered all that the Amalekites had carried away, and David rescued his two wives.

vw@1Samuel:30:20 @ And David took all the flocks and herds they had driven before those other livestock, and said, This is David’s spoils.

vw@1Samuel:30:24 @ For who will heed you in this matter? But as his part is who goes down to the battle, so shall his part be who stays by the supplies; they shall share together.

vw@1Samuel:30:25 @ So it was, from that day forward; he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.

vw@1Samuel:30:26 @ And when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the spoils to the elders of Judah, to his friends, saying, Here is a present for you from the spoils of the enemies of Jehovah;

vw@1Samuel:30:31 @ to those in Hebron, and to all the places where David himself and his men had traversed.

vw@1Samuel:31:1 @ Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel; and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.

vw@1Samuel:31:2 @ And the Philistines closely pursued Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul’s sons.

vw@1Samuel:31:4 @ And Saul said to his armorbearer, Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised men come and thrust me through and abuse me. But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took a sword and fell on it.

vw@1Samuel:31:5 @ And when his armorbearer saw that Saul had died, he also fell on his sword, and died with him.

vw@1Samuel:31:6 @ So Saul, his three sons, his armorbearer, and all his men died together that day.

vw@1Samuel:31:7 @ And when the men of Israel on the other side of the valley, and those on the other side of the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they forsook the cities and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

vw@1Samuel:31:8 @ So it happened the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

vw@1Samuel:31:9 @ And they cut off his head and stripped off his armor, and sent word throughout the land of the Philistines, to proclaim it in the house of their idols and among the people.

vw@1Samuel:31:10 @ And they put his armor in the house of Ashtaroth, and they fastened his corpse to the wall of Beth Shan.

vw@1Samuel:31:11 @ And when the inhabitants of Jabesh Gilead heard what the Philistines had done to Saul,

vw@1Samuel:31:12 @ all the valiant men rose up and traveled all night, and took the corpse of Saul and the corpses of his sons from the wall of Beth Shan; and they came to Jabesh and burned them there.

vw@1Samuel:31:13 @ And they took their bones and buried them under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

vw@2Samuel:1:2 @ that on the third day, behold, a man came from Saul’s camp with his clothes torn and earth on his head. So it was, when he came to David, that he fell to the ground and prostrated himself.

vw@2Samuel:1:3 @ And David said to him, Where have you come from? So he said to him, I have escaped from the camp of Israel.

vw@2Samuel:1:4 @ And David said to him, How did the matter go? Please tell me. And he answered, The people have fled from the battle, many of the people have fallen and died, and Saul and Jonathan his son have died.

vw@2Samuel:1:5 @ And David said to the young man who told him, How do you know that Saul and Jonathan his son have died?

vw@2Samuel:1:6 @ And the young man who told him said, As I happened by chance to be on Mount Gilboa, behold, Saul was leaning on his spear; and behold, the chariots and horsemen closely pursued him.

vw@2Samuel:1:10 @ So I stood over him and killed him, because I perceived that he could not live after he had fallen. And I took the crown that was on his head and the bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them here to my lord.

vw@2Samuel:1:11 @ Then David took hold of his own clothes and tore them, and so did all the men with him.

vw@2Samuel:1:12 @ And they mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and for Jonathan his son, for the people of Jehovah and for the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.

vw@2Samuel:1:16 @ And David said to him, Your blood is on your own head, for your mouth has testified against you, saying, I have killed the anointed of Jehovah.

vw@2Samuel:1:17 @ Then David lamented with this lamentation over Saul and over Jonathan his son,

vw@2Samuel:1:18 @ and he commanded them to teach the sons of Judah the Song of the Bow; behold, it is written in the Book of Jasher:

vw@2Samuel:1:19 @ The beauty of Israel is slain on your high places! How the mighty have fallen!

vw@2Samuel:1:20 @ Tell it not in Gath, proclaim it not in the streets of Ashkelon; lest the daughters of the Philistines rejoice, lest the daughters of the uncircumcised triumph.

vw@2Samuel:1:24 @ O daughters of Israel, weep over Saul, who clothed you in scarlet, with luxury; who put ornaments of gold on your apparel.

vw@2Samuel:1:26 @ I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan. You have been very pleasant to me; your love to me was wonderful, surpassing the love of women.

vw@2Samuel:1:27 @ How the mighty have fallen, and the weapons of war perished!

vw@2Samuel:2:1 @ It happened after this that David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up to any of the cities of Judah? And Jehovah said to him, Go up. David said, Where shall I go up? And He said, To Hebron.

vw@2Samuel:2:2 @ So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the widowed wife of Nabal the Carmelite.

vw@2Samuel:2:3 @ And David brought up the men who were with him, every man with his household. So they dwelt in the cities of Hebron.

vw@2Samuel:2:5 @ So David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh Gilead, and said to them, You are blessed of Jehovah, for you have shown this kindness to your lord, to Saul, and have buried him.

vw@2Samuel:2:6 @ And now may Jehovah show kindness and truth to you. I also will deal kindly with you, because you have done this thing.

vw@2Samuel:2:7 @ Now therefore, let your hands be strengthened, and be valiant; for your master Saul is dead, and also the house of Judah has anointed me as king over them.

vw@2Samuel:2:8 @ But Abner the son of Ner, commander of Saul’s army, took Ishbosheth the son of Saul and brought him over to Mahanaim;

vw@2Samuel:2:9 @ and he made him king over Gilead, over the Ashurites, over Jezreel, over Ephraim, over Benjamin, and over all Israel.

vw@2Samuel:2:10 @ Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, was forty years old when he began to reign over Israel, and he reigned two years. Only the house of Judah followed David.

vw@2Samuel:2:12 @ And Abner the son of Ner, and the servants of Ishbosheth the son of Saul, went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.

vw@2Samuel:2:14 @ And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men now arise and make sport before us. And Joab said, Let them arise.

vw@2Samuel:2:15 @ So they arose and went over by number, twelve from Benjamin for Ishbosheth the son of Saul, and twelve from the servants of David.

vw@2Samuel:2:16 @ And each one grabbed his opponent by the head and thrust his sword in his opponent’s side; so they fell down together. Therefore that place was called the Field of Swords, which is in Gibeon.

vw@2Samuel:2:17 @ And the battle was fierce that day, and Abner and the men of Israel were smitten before the servants of David.

vw@2Samuel:2:18 @ Now the three sons of Zeruiah were there: Joab and Abishai and Asahel. And Asahel was as fleet of foot as a gazelle in the field.

vw@2Samuel:2:21 @ And Abner said to him, Turn aside to your right hand or to your left, and lay hold on one of the young men and take his spoils for yourself. But Asahel would not turn aside from after him.

vw@2Samuel:2:23 @ However, he refused to turn aside. Therefore Abner struck him in the stomach with the back end of the spear, so that the spear came out his back; and he fell down there and died on the spot. So it was that as many as came to the place where Asahel fell down and died, stood still.

vw@2Samuel:2:24 @ Joab and Abishai also pursued after Abner. And the sun was going down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is before Giah by the way to the wilderness of Gibeon.

vw@2Samuel:2:27 @ And Joab said, As God lives, unless you had spoken, surely then by morning the people would have gone up, every one after his brother.

vw@2Samuel:2:28 @ So Joab blew a shofar; and all the people stood still and did not pursue after Israel anymore, nor did they fight anymore.

vw@2Samuel:2:29 @ And Abner and his men went on all that night through the plain, crossed over the Jordan, and went through Bithron, and came to Mahanaim.

vw@2Samuel:2:30 @ And Joab returned from pursuing after Abner. And when he had gathered all the people together, there were missing of David’s servants nineteen men and Asahel.

vw@2Samuel:2:32 @ And they took up Asahel and buried him in his father’s tomb, which was in Bethlehem. And Joab and his men went all night, and they came to Hebron at daybreak.

vw@2Samuel:3:2 @ And sons were born to David in Hebron: His firstborn was Amnon, by Ahinoam the Jezreelitess;

vw@2Samuel:3:3 @ his second, Chileab, by Abigail the widowed wife of Nabal the Carmelite; the third, Absalom the son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur;

vw@2Samuel:3:7 @ And Saul had a concubine, whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah. And Ishbosheth said to Abner, Why have you gone in to my father’s concubine?

vw@2Samuel:3:8 @ Then Abner became very angry at the words of Ishbosheth, and said, Am I a dog’s head that belongs to Judah? Today I show kindness to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hand of David; and you charge me today with a fault concerning this woman?

vw@2Samuel:3:10 @ to transfer the kingdom from the house of Saul, and to set up the throne of David over Israel and over Judah, from Dan to Beer-sheba.

vw@2Samuel:3:12 @ And Abner sent messengers on his behalf to David, saying, Whose is the land? saying also, Make your covenant with me, and behold, my hand shall be with you to bring around all Israel to you.

vw@2Samuel:3:14 @ And David sent messengers to Ishbosheth, Saul’s son, saying, Give me my wife Michal, whom I betrothed to myself for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines.

vw@2Samuel:3:15 @ And Ishbosheth sent and took her from her husband, from Paltiel the son of Laish.

vw@2Samuel:3:17 @ And the words of Abner had come to the elders of Israel, saying, In time past you were desiring David as king over you.

vw@2Samuel:3:18 @ Now then, do it! For Jehovah has spoken of David, saying, By the hand of My servant David, I will save My people Israel out of the hand of the Philistines and out of the hand of all their enemies.

vw@2Samuel:3:19 @ And Abner also spoke in the ears of Benjamin. And Abner also went to speak in the ears of David at Hebron all that was good in the eyes of Israel and in the eyes of the house of Benjamin.

vw@2Samuel:3:21 @ And Abner said to David, I will arise and go, and gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may reign over all that your soul desires. And David sent Abner away, and he went in peace.

vw@2Samuel:3:24 @ Then Joab came to the king and said, What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you; why is it that you sent him away, and he has left to go?

vw@2Samuel:3:27 @ And when Abner had returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside in the gate to speak with him privately, and there stabbed him in the stomach, so that he died for the blood of Asahel his brother.

vw@2Samuel:3:29 @ May it whirl about on the head of Joab and on all his father’s house; and let there never fail to be in the house of Joab one who has a discharge or is a leper, who leans on a staff or falls by the sword, or who lacks bread.

vw@2Samuel:3:30 @ So Joab and Abishai his brother killed Abner, because he had killed their brother Asahel at Gibeon in the battle.

vw@2Samuel:3:32 @ And they buried Abner in Hebron; and the king lifted up his voice and wept at the grave of Abner, and all the people wept.

vw@2Samuel:3:37 @ For all the people and all Israel understood that day that it had not been from the king, to kill Abner the son of Ner.

vw@2Samuel:3:38 @ And the king said to his servants, Do you not know that a prince and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?

vw@2Samuel:3:39 @ And I am weak today, though anointed king; and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too severe for me. Jehovah shall repay the evildoer according to his evil.

vw@2Samuel:4:1 @ When Saul’s son heard that Abner had died in Hebron, his hands fell limp, and all Israel was dismayed.

vw@2Samuel:4:3 @ because the Beerothites fled to Gittaim and are sojourning there to this day.)

vw@2Samuel:4:4 @ And Jonathan, Saul’s son, had a son who was lame in his feet. He was five years old when the news about Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel; and his nurse took him up and fled. And it happened, as she made haste to flee, that he fell and became lame. And his name was Mephibosheth.

vw@2Samuel:4:5 @ And the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, set out and came at the heat of the day to the house of Ishbosheth, who was lying on his bed at noon.

vw@2Samuel:4:6 @ And when they had come there, into the middle of the house, as though carrying wheat, they stabbed him in the stomach. And Rechab and Baanah his brother escaped.

vw@2Samuel:4:7 @ Now when they came into the house, he was lying on his bed in his bedroom; then they struck him and killed him, beheaded him and took his head, and were all night escaping through the plain.

vw@2Samuel:4:8 @ And they brought the head of Ishbosheth to David at Hebron, and said to the king, Behold, the head of Ishbosheth, the son of Saul your enemy, who had sought your life. Jehovah has requited vengeance for my lord the king this day upon Saul and his seed.

vw@2Samuel:4:9 @ But David answered Rechab and Baanah his brother, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, As Jehovah lives, who has redeemed my soul from all distress,

vw@2Samuel:4:10 @ when someone told me, saying, Behold, Saul is dead, thinking to have brought good news, I took him and killed him in Ziklag; the reward I gave him for his news.

vw@2Samuel:4:11 @ How much more, when wicked men have killed a righteous man in his own house on his bed? Therefore, shall I not now require his blood at your hand and remove you from the earth?

vw@2Samuel:4:12 @ And David commanded his young men, and they slew them, cut off their hands and feet, and hung them by the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ishbosheth and buried it in the tomb of Abner at Hebron.

vw@2Samuel:5:1 @ Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and spoke, saying, Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

vw@2Samuel:5:2 @ Also, in time past, when Saul was king over us, you were the one leading Israel out and bringing them in; and Jehovah said to you, You shall shepherd My people Israel, and be ruler over Israel.

vw@2Samuel:5:3 @ So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them at Hebron before Jehovah. And they anointed David king over Israel.

vw@2Samuel:5:5 @ In Hebron he reigned over Judah seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years over all Israel and Judah.

vw@2Samuel:5:6 @ And the king and his men went to Jerusalem, to the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, who spoke to David, saying, You shall not come in here; but the blind and the lame will repel you, thinking, David cannot come in here.

vw@2Samuel:5:7 @ Nevertheless David took the stronghold of Zion. It is the City of David.

vw@2Samuel:5:12 @ Thus David recognized that Jehovah had established him as king over Israel, and that He had exalted His kingdom for His people Israel.

vw@2Samuel:5:15 @ Ibhar, Elishua, Nepheg, Japhia,

vw@2Samuel:5:16 @ Elishama, Eliada, and Eliphelet.

vw@2Samuel:5:17 @ Now when the Philistines heard that they had anointed David king over Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David. And David heard of it and went down to the stronghold.

vw@2Samuel:5:18 @ The Philistines also went and spread themselves out in the Valley of Rephaim.

vw@2Samuel:5:19 @ And David inquired of Jehovah, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? Will You deliver them into my hand? And Jehovah said to David, Go up, for I will deliver up to give the Philistines into your hand.

vw@2Samuel:5:21 @ And they abandoned their idols there, and David and his men carried them away.

vw@2Samuel:5:22 @ Then the Philistines went up again and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.

vw@2Samuel:5:24 @ And it shall be, when you hear the sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, that you shall be decisive. For then Jehovah shall have gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.

vw@2Samuel:5:25 @ And David did so, as Jehovah had commanded him; and he struck the Philistines from Geba until you come to Gezer.

vw@2Samuel:6:1 @ Again David gathered all the choice men of Israel, thirty thousand.

vw@2Samuel:6:2 @ And David rose up and went, and all the people who were with him from Baale Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, whose name is called by the name of Jehovah of Hosts, who dwells between the cherubim.

vw@2Samuel:6:5 @ And David and all the house of Israel were making sport before Jehovah with all manner of fir wood; with harps, with lutes, with tambourines, with rattles and buzzing.

vw@2Samuel:6:6 @ And when they came to Nachon’s threshing floor, Uzzah stretched out his hand to the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen had fallen.

vw@2Samuel:6:7 @ And the anger of Jehovah burned against Uzzah, and God struck him there for his error; and he died there by the ark of God.

vw@2Samuel:6:8 @ And David was furious because Jehovah had used violence and burst forth against Uzzah; thus the name of the place is called Perez Uzzah to this day.

vw@2Samuel:6:11 @ And the ark of Jehovah remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months. And Jehovah blessed Obed-Edom and all his house.

vw@2Samuel:6:14 @ And David was dancing before Jehovah with all his might; and David was girded with a linen ephod.

vw@2Samuel:6:15 @ So David and all the house of Israel were bringing up the ark of Jehovah with shouting and with the sound of the shofar.

vw@2Samuel:6:16 @ And as the ark of Jehovah was coming into the City of David, Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David leaping and whirling before Jehovah; and she despised him in her heart.

vw@2Samuel:6:18 @ And when David finished offering the burnt offerings and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@2Samuel:6:19 @ And he distributed among all the people, among the whole multitude of Israel, both the women and the men, to everyone a cake of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. And all the people departed, everyone to his house.

vw@2Samuel:6:20 @ Then David returned to bless his household. And Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, How glorious was the king of Israel today, uncovering himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the worthless fellows uncovers to reveal himself!

vw@2Samuel:6:21 @ And David said to Michal, It was before Jehovah, who chose me instead of your father and all his house, to appoint me ruler over the people of Jehovah, over Israel. Therefore I have danced before Jehovah.

vw@2Samuel:6:22 @ And I have been even more lightly esteemed than this, and humble in my own eyes. But as for the handmaids of whom you have spoken, by them I was honored.

vw@2Samuel:7:1 @ Now it came to pass when the king was dwelling in his house, and Jehovah had given him rest from all his enemies all around,

vw@2Samuel:7:2 @ that the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I am dwelling in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is dwelling inside tent curtains.

vw@2Samuel:7:3 @ And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in your heart, for Jehovah is with you.

vw@2Samuel:7:6 @ For I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought the children of Israel up from Egypt, even to this day, but have moved about in a tent and in a tabernacle.

vw@2Samuel:7:7 @ Wherever I have moved about with all the children of Israel, have I spoken a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?

vw@2Samuel:7:8 @ Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, Thus says Jehovah of Hosts: I have taken you from the pastures, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people, over Israel.

vw@2Samuel:7:10 @ Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, without being disturbed; nor shall the sons of unrighteousness afflict them anymore, as before,

vw@2Samuel:7:11 @ since the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies. And Jehovah has declared to you that He will make you a house.

vw@2Samuel:7:12 @ When your days are fulfilled and you have rested with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.

vw@2Samuel:7:13 @ He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

vw@2Samuel:7:14 @ I will be his Father, and he shall be My son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the strokes of the sons of men.

vw@2Samuel:7:16 @ And your house and your kingdom shall be established forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever.

vw@2Samuel:7:17 @ According to all these words and according to all this vision, thus Nathan spoke to David.

vw@2Samuel:7:18 @ Then King David went in and sat before Jehovah; and he said: Who am I, O Lord Jehovah? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

vw@2Samuel:7:19 @ And yet this was a small thing in Your eyes, O Lord Jehovah; and You have also spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come. Is this the manner of man, O Lord Jehovah?

vw@2Samuel:7:22 @ Therefore You have been magnified, O Lord Jehovah. For there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

vw@2Samuel:7:23 @ And who is like Your people, like Israel, the one nation on the earth whom God has gone to redeem as a people for Himself, to make a name for Himself; and to do for Yourself great and awesome deeds for Your land, before Your people whom You have redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, the nations, and their gods?

vw@2Samuel:7:24 @ For You established Your people Israel unto Yourself as Your own people forever; and You, Jehovah, have become their God.

vw@2Samuel:7:25 @ Now, O Jehovah God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, establish it forever and do as You have spoken.

vw@2Samuel:7:26 @ And let Your name be magnified forever, saying, Jehovah of Hosts is the God over Israel. And let the house of Your servant David be established before You.

vw@2Samuel:7:27 @ For You, O Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, have disclosed this in Your servant’s ear, saying, I will build you a house. Therefore Your servant has found it in his heart to pray this prayer to You.

vw@2Samuel:7:28 @ And now, O Lord Jehovah, You are God, and Your Words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant.

vw@2Samuel:8:1 @ After this it came to pass that David struck the Philistines and subdued them. And David took control of the mother city from the hand of the Philistines.

vw@2Samuel:8:3 @ David also struck Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, as he went to restore his hand at the River Euphrates.

vw@2Samuel:8:6 @ And David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, and brought tribute. And Jehovah gave victory to David wherever he went.

vw@2Samuel:8:10 @ then Toi sent Joram his son to King David, to ask after his peace and bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him (for Hadadezer had been at war with Toi); and Joram brought in his hand articles of silver, articles of gold, and articles of bronze.

vw@2Samuel:8:12 @ from Syria, from Moab, from the children of Ammon, from the Philistines, from Amalek, and from the spoils of Hadadezer the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

vw@2Samuel:8:14 @ He also put garrisons in Edom; throughout all Edom he put garrisons, and all the Edomites became David’s servants. And Jehovah gave victory to David wherever he went.

vw@2Samuel:8:15 @ Thus David reigned over all Israel; and David was executing justice and righteousness to all his people.

vw@2Samuel:8:18 @ Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over both the Cherethites and the Pelethites; and David’s sons were chief ministers.

vw@2Samuel:9:1 @ Then David said, Is there still anyone who is left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?

vw@2Samuel:9:3 @ And the king said, Is there not still someone of the house of Saul, to whom I may show the kindness of God? And Ziba said to the king, There is still a son of Jonathan who is lame in his feet.

vw@2Samuel:9:4 @ And the king said to him, Where is he? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he is in the house of Machir the son of Ammiel, in Lo Debar.

vw@2Samuel:9:6 @ And when Mephibosheth the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, had come to David, he fell on his face and prostrated himself. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold your servant!

vw@2Samuel:9:8 @ He bowed again, and said, What is your servant, that you should look upon such a dead dog as I?

vw@2Samuel:9:9 @ And the king summoned Ziba, Saul’s servant, and said to him, I have given to your master’s son all that belonged to Saul and to all his house.

vw@2Samuel:9:11 @ And Ziba said to the king, According to all that my lord the king commands his servant, so shall your servant do. As for Mephibosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table like one of the king’s sons.

vw@2Samuel:9:13 @ So Mephibosheth dwelt in Jerusalem, for he ate continually at the king’s table. And he was lame in both his feet.

vw@2Samuel:10:1 @ It happened after this that the king of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his son reigned in his place.

vw@2Samuel:10:2 @ And David said, I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, as his father showed kindness to me. So David sent by the hand of his servants to comfort him concerning his father. And David’s servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.

vw@2Samuel:10:3 @ And the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, In your eyes, does David honor your father in sending comforters to you? Has David not sent his servants to you to search the city, to spy it out, and to overthrow it?

vw@2Samuel:10:6 @ And when the sons of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, the sons of Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth Rehob and the Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand foot soldiers; and from the king of Maacah one thousand men, and from Ish-Tob twelve thousand men.

vw@2Samuel:10:8 @ And the sons of Ammon came out and set themselves in battle array at the entrance of the gate. And the Syrians of Zoba, Beth Rehob, Ish-Tob, and Maachah were by themselves in the field.

vw@2Samuel:10:9 @ And when Joab saw that the battle line was against him before and behind, he chose some of Israel’s choicest and set them in battle array to meet the Syrians.

vw@2Samuel:10:10 @ And the rest of the people he put into the hand of Abishai his brother, that he might set them in battle array to meet the sons of Ammon.

vw@2Samuel:10:12 @ Be strong, and let us be courageous for our people and for the cities of our God. And may Jehovah do what is good in His eyes.

vw@2Samuel:10:14 @ And when the sons of Ammon saw that the Syrians were fleeing, they also fled before Abishai, and entered the city. So Joab returned from the sons of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.

vw@2Samuel:10:15 @ And when the Syrians saw that they had been struck down before Israel, they gathered together.

vw@2Samuel:10:17 @ And when it was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed over the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Syrians set themselves in battle array to meet David and fought with him.

vw@2Samuel:10:18 @ And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven hundred in chariots and forty thousand horsemen of the Syrians, and struck Shobach the commander of their army, and he died there.

vw@2Samuel:10:19 @ And when all the kings who were servants to Hadadezer saw that they had been smitten before Israel, they made peace with Israel and served them. So the Syrians feared to help the sons of Ammon anymore.

vw@2Samuel:11:1 @ And it happened in the spring of the year, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him, and all Israel; and they destroyed the children of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David remained at Jerusalem.

vw@2Samuel:11:2 @ And it happened at night time, that David arose from his bed and walked around on the roof of the king’s house. And from the roof he saw a woman bathing, and the woman was very pleasant in appearance.

vw@2Samuel:11:3 @ And David sent and inquired after the woman. And someone said, Is this not Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?

vw@2Samuel:11:9 @ But Uriah slept at the door of the king’s house with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.

vw@2Samuel:11:10 @ So when they reported to David, saying, Uriah did not go down to his house, David said to Uriah, Did you not come from a journey? Why have you not gone down to your house?

vw@2Samuel:11:11 @ And Uriah said to David, The ark and Israel and Judah are dwelling in booths, and my lord Joab and the servants of my lord are encamped on the face of the land. Shall I then go to my house to eat and drink, and to lie with my wife? As you live, and as your soul lives, I will not do this thing.

vw@2Samuel:11:13 @ And when David summoned him, he ate and drank before him; and he made him drunk. And at evening he went out to lie on his bed with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.

vw@2Samuel:11:19 @ and charged the messenger, saying, When you have finished speaking of the matters of the war to the king,

vw@2Samuel:11:20 @ if it happens that the king’s wrath arises, and he says to you: Why did you approach so near to the city to fight? Did you not know that they would shoot from the wall?

vw@2Samuel:11:25 @ And David said to the messenger, Thus you shall say to Joab: Do not let this thing cause your eye to quiver, for the sword devours one as well as another. Strengthen the battle against the city, and overthrow it. And encourage him.

vw@2Samuel:11:27 @ And when her mourning was passed, David sent and brought her to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing that David had done caused the eyes of Jehovah to quiver.

vw@2Samuel:12:3 @ But the poor man had nothing, except one little ewe lamb which he had bought and nourished; and it grew up together with him and with his children. It ate of his own food and drank from his own cup and lay in his bosom; and it was like a daughter to him.

vw@2Samuel:12:4 @ And a traveler came to the rich man, who spared to take from his own flock and from his own herd to prepare one for the wayfaring man who had come to him; but he took the poor man’s lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him.

vw@2Samuel:12:5 @ And David’s anger burned greatly against the man, and he said to Nathan, As Jehovah lives, the man who has done this is a son of death!

vw@2Samuel:12:6 @ And he shall restore fourfold for the lamb, because he has done this thing and because he had no pity.

vw@2Samuel:12:7 @ And Nathan said to David, You are the man! Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: I anointed you king over Israel, and I delivered you out of the hand of Saul.

vw@2Samuel:12:8 @ I gave you your master’s house and your master’s wives into your bosom, and gave you the house of Israel and Judah. And if that had been too little, I also would have given you this and that!

vw@2Samuel:12:9 @ Why have you despised the Word of Jehovah, to do evil in His eyes? You have killed Uriah the Hittite with the sword; you have taken his wife to be your wife, and have killed him with the sword of the sons of Ammon.

vw@2Samuel:12:10 @ Now therefore, the sword shall never depart from your house, because you have despised Me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.

vw@2Samuel:12:11 @ Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up evil against you from your own house; and I will take your wives before your eyes and give them to your neighbor, and he shall lie with your wives in the eyes of the sun.

vw@2Samuel:12:12 @ For you did it secretly, but I will do this thing before all Israel, before the sun.

vw@2Samuel:12:14 @ However, because of this matter in which you have caused contempt, for Jehovah to be spurned by His enemies, the child also who is born to you shall die the death.

vw@2Samuel:12:15 @ And Nathan departed to his house. And Jehovah struck the child that Uriah’s wife had borne to David, and it became sick.

vw@2Samuel:12:17 @ And the elders of his house arose and went to him, to raise him up from the ground. But he would not, nor did he eat food with them.

vw@2Samuel:12:19 @ But when David saw that his servants were whispering, David perceived that the child had died. Therefore David said to his servants, Has the child died? And they said, He has died.

vw@2Samuel:12:20 @ So David rose up from the ground, washed and anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he went into the house of Jehovah and prostrated himself. Then he went to his own house; and when he requested, they set food before him, and he ate.

vw@2Samuel:12:21 @ Then his servants said to him, What is this that you have done? You fasted and wept for the child while he was alive, but when the child had died, you arose and ate food.

vw@2Samuel:12:24 @ And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in to her and lay with her. And she bore a son, and he called his name Solomon. Now Jehovah loved him,

vw@2Samuel:12:25 @ and He sent word by the hand of Nathan the prophet: So he called his name Jedidiah, because of Jehovah.

vw@2Samuel:12:30 @ And he took their king’s crown from his head. Its weight was a talent of gold, with precious stones. And it was set on David’s head. Also he brought out the spoils of the city in great abundance.

vw@2Samuel:13:1 @ After this Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and Amnon the son of David loved her.

vw@2Samuel:13:2 @ Amnon was so distressed over his sister Tamar that he became sick; for she was a virgin; and it was difficult in Amnon’s eyes to do anything to her.

vw@2Samuel:13:4 @ And he said to him, Why are you, the king’s son, so low morning after morning? Will you not tell me? Amnon said to him, I love Tamar, my brother Absalom’s sister.

vw@2Samuel:13:5 @ So Jonadab said to him, Lie down on your bed and make yourself sick. And when your father comes to see you, say to him, Please let my sister Tamar come and give me food, and prepare the food before my eyes, that I may see it and eat it from her hand.

vw@2Samuel:13:6 @ So Amnon lay down and made himself sick; and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, Please let Tamar my sister come and make a couple of cakes for me before my eyes, that I may eat from her hand.

vw@2Samuel:13:8 @ So Tamar went to her brother Amnon’s house; and he was lying down. Then she took flour and kneaded it, made cakes before his eyes, and baked the cakes.

vw@2Samuel:13:11 @ And when she had brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her and said to her, Come, lie with me, my sister.

vw@2Samuel:13:12 @ And she answered him, No, my brother, do not force me, for no such thing should be done in Israel. Do not do this disgraceful thing!

vw@2Samuel:13:13 @ And I, where could I take my shame? And as for you, you would be like one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king; for he will not withhold me from you.

vw@2Samuel:13:15 @ Then Amnon hated her exceedingly, so that the hatred with which he hated her was greater than the love with which he had loved her. And Amnon said to her, Arise and go!

vw@2Samuel:13:16 @ And she said to him, For what reason? This evil to send me away is worse than the other that you have done to me. But he would not listen to her.

vw@2Samuel:13:17 @ Then he summoned his servant who attended him, and said, Send this woman out away from me, and bolt the door behind her.

vw@2Samuel:13:18 @ And she had on a tunic of many colors, for the king’s virgin daughters wore such robes. And his servant brought her outside and bolted the door behind her.

vw@2Samuel:13:20 @ And Absalom her brother said to her, Has Amnon your brother been with you? But now keep silent, my sister. He is your brother; do not take this thing to heart. So Tamar remained desolate in her brother Absalom’s house.

vw@2Samuel:13:22 @ And Absalom spoke to his brother Amnon neither good nor bad. For Absalom hated Amnon, because he had humbled his sister Tamar.

vw@2Samuel:13:23 @ And it came to pass, after two full years, that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal Hazor, which is near Ephraim; and Absalom invited all the king’s sons.

vw@2Samuel:13:24 @ And Absalom came to the king and said, Behold, your servant has sheepshearers; please, let the king and his servants go with your servant.

vw@2Samuel:13:28 @ Now Absalom had commanded his servants, saying, Watch now, when Amnon’s heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, Strike Amnon! then kill him. Do not be afraid. Have I not commanded you? Be courageous and valiant.

vw@2Samuel:13:29 @ And the servants of Absalom did to Amnon as Absalom had commanded. And all the king’s sons arose, and each one got on his mule and fled.

vw@2Samuel:13:30 @ And it came to pass, while they were on the way, that news came to David, saying, Absalom has killed all the king’s sons, and not one of them is left!

vw@2Samuel:13:31 @ So the king arose and tore his garments and lay on the ground, and all his servants stood by with their clothes torn.

vw@2Samuel:13:32 @ Then Jonadab the son of Shimeah, David’s brother, answered and said, Let not my lord suppose they have killed all the young men, the king’s sons, for only Amnon has died. For at the mouth of Absalom this has been determined since the day that he humbled his sister Tamar.

vw@2Samuel:13:33 @ Now therefore, let not my lord the king take this word to heart, to think that all the king’s sons have died; for only Amnon has died.

vw@2Samuel:13:34 @ Then Absalom fled. And the young man who was keeping watch lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, many people were coming from the way along the hillside behind him.

vw@2Samuel:13:35 @ And Jonadab said to the king, Look! The king’s sons have come; according to your servant’s word, so it is.

vw@2Samuel:13:36 @ So it was, as soon as he had finished speaking, that behold the king’s sons came, and they lifted up their voice and wept. Also the king and all his servants wept with a very great weeping.

vw@2Samuel:13:37 @ But Absalom had fled and went to Talmai the son of Ammihud, king of Geshur. And David mourned for his son every day.

vw@2Samuel:14:2 @ And Joab sent to Tekoa and brought from there a wise woman, and said to her, Please pretend to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel; do not anoint yourself with oil, but act like a woman who has been mourning many days for the dead.

vw@2Samuel:14:3 @ Go to the king and speak to him in this manner. So Joab put the words in her mouth.

vw@2Samuel:14:5 @ And the king said to her, What is troubling you? And she answered, Truly I am a widow and my husband is dead.

vw@2Samuel:14:7 @ And now the whole family has risen up against your handmaid, and said, Deliver him who struck his brother, that we may execute him for the soul of his brother whom he killed; and we will destroy the heir also. Thus they would extinguish my ember that is left, and leave to my husband neither name nor remnant upon the face of the earth.

vw@2Samuel:14:9 @ And the woman of Tekoa said to the king, My lord, O king, let the iniquity be on me and on my father’s house, and the king and his throne be guiltless.

vw@2Samuel:14:13 @ And the woman said: Why then have you devised such a thing against the people of God? For the king speaks this thing as one who is guilty, in that the king does not bring his banished one home again.

vw@2Samuel:14:14 @ For we die the death and are like water poured on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again. Yet God does not take away a soul; but has devised plans, so that His banished ones are not thrust away from Him.

vw@2Samuel:14:15 @ Now therefore, I have come to speak of this thing to my lord the king because the people have made me afraid. And your handmaid thought, I will now speak to the king; it may be that the king will carry out the word of his handmaid.

vw@2Samuel:14:16 @ For the king will hear and deliver his handmaid from the hand of the man who would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.

vw@2Samuel:14:17 @ And your handmaid thought, The word of my lord the king will now be comforting; for as the angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and evil. And Jehovah your God be with you.

vw@2Samuel:14:19 @ So the king said, Is the hand of Joab with you in all this? And the woman answered and said, As you live, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right hand or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken. For your servant Joab has commanded me, and he has put all these words in the mouth of your handmaid.

vw@2Samuel:14:20 @ In order to change around the face of this matter your servant Joab has done this thing; but my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all that is in the earth.

vw@2Samuel:14:21 @ And the king said to Joab, Behold, I have done this thing. Go therefore, bring back the young man Absalom.

vw@2Samuel:14:22 @ And Joab fell to the ground on his face and bowed himself, and blessed the king. And Joab said, Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your eyes, my lord, O king, in that the king has done the word of his servant.

vw@2Samuel:14:24 @ And the king said, Let him return to his own house, but he shall not see my face. So Absalom returned to his own house, but did not see the king’s face.

vw@2Samuel:14:25 @ Now in all Israel there was no one as handsome as Absalom, and highly praised. From the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.

vw@2Samuel:14:26 @ And when he shaved his head (at the end of a year of days he shaved it because it was heavy on him; therefore he shaved it), he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels according to the king’s weight stones.

vw@2Samuel:14:30 @ So he said to his servants, Behold, Joab’s field is near mine, and he has barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom’s servants set the field on fire.

vw@2Samuel:14:32 @ And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent to you, saying, Come here, so that I may send you to the king, to say, Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me to be there still. Now therefore, let me see the king’s face; but if there is iniquity in me, let him put me to death.

vw@2Samuel:14:33 @ So Joab went to the king and reported to him. And when he had summoned Absalom, he came to the king and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king. And the king kissed Absalom.

vw@2Samuel:15:1 @ After this it happened that Absalom provided himself with chariots and horses, and fifty men to run before him.

vw@2Samuel:15:2 @ And Absalom would rise early and stand beside the way to the gate. And so it was, whenever anyone who had a dispute came to the king for judgment, that Absalom would call to him and say, What city are you from? And he would say, Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel.

vw@2Samuel:15:3 @ Then Absalom would say to him, Behold, your case is good and right; but there is no one from the king to hear you.

vw@2Samuel:15:4 @ Moreover Absalom would say, Oh, that I were made judge in the land, and everyone who has a dispute or case could come to me, and I would give him justice.

vw@2Samuel:15:5 @ And so it was, whenever anyone came near to bow down to him, that he put out his hand and took him and kissed him.

vw@2Samuel:15:6 @ In this manner Absalom acted toward all Israel who came to the king for judgment. Thus Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel.

vw@2Samuel:15:10 @ But Absalom sent spies throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, As soon as you hear the sound of the shofar, then you shall say, Absalom is king in Hebron!

vw@2Samuel:15:12 @ And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, David’s counselor, from his city, from Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And the conspiracy was strong, for the people with Absalom continually increased.

vw@2Samuel:15:13 @ And a messenger came to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel have gone after Absalom.

vw@2Samuel:15:14 @ And David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, Arise, and let us flee; or we shall not escape before Absalom. Make haste to depart, lest he overtake us suddenly and bring evil upon us, and strike the city with the edge of the sword.

vw@2Samuel:15:16 @ And the king went out with all his household at his feet. But the king left ten women, concubines, to keep the house.

vw@2Samuel:15:17 @ And the king went out with all the people at his feet, and stopped at the last house of the settlement.

vw@2Samuel:15:18 @ And all his servants passed before him; and all the Cherethites, all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites, six hundred men who had followed him from Gath, were passing on before the king.

vw@2Samuel:15:20 @ You came only recently. Should I make you go here and there with us this day, since I am going wherever I can? Return, and take your brethren back. Mercy and truth be with you.

vw@2Samuel:15:22 @ And David said to Ittai, Go, and cross over. Then Ittai the Gittite and all his men and all the little ones who were with him crossed over.

vw@2Samuel:15:24 @ And behold Zadok also, and all the Levites were with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar went up until all the people had finished crossing over out of the city.

vw@2Samuel:15:25 @ And the king said to Zadok, Carry the ark of God back into the city. If I find favor in the eyes of Jehovah, He will bring me back and show me both it and His dwelling place.

vw@2Samuel:15:26 @ But if He says thus: I have not delighted in you, then behold, here am I, let Him do to me as is good in His eyes.

vw@2Samuel:15:30 @ And David went up by the ascent of the Mount of Olives, weeping as he went up; and he had his head covered and was going barefoot. And all the people with him covered their heads and went up, weeping as they went up.

vw@2Samuel:15:31 @ And someone reported to David, saying, Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom. And David said, O Jehovah, I pray, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!

vw@2Samuel:15:32 @ And it happened when David had come to the top of the mountain, where he bowed down before God, that behold Hushai the Archite was coming to meet him with his tunic torn and earth on his head.

vw@2Samuel:16:1 @ And when David was a little past the top of the mountain, behold Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him with a couple of saddled donkeys, and on them two hundred loaves of bread, one hundred clusters of raisins, one hundred summer fruits, and a skin of wine.

vw@2Samuel:16:3 @ And the king said, And where is your master’s son? And Ziba said to the king, Behold, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he has said, Today the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me.

vw@2Samuel:16:4 @ Then the king said to Ziba, Behold, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours. And Ziba said, I prostrate before you, that I may find favor in your eyes, my lord, O king!

vw@2Samuel:16:6 @ And he pelted David and all the servants of King David with stones. And all the people and all the mighty men were on his right hand and on his left.

vw@2Samuel:16:9 @ Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Please, let me go over and take off his head!

vw@2Samuel:16:11 @ And David said to Abishai and all his servants, See how my son who came from my own body seeks my life; so, why not this Benjamite? Let him alone, and let him curse; for thus Jehovah has commanded him.

vw@2Samuel:16:12 @ It may be that Jehovah will look on my affliction, and that Jehovah will repay me with good for his cursing this day.

vw@2Samuel:16:13 @ And as David and his men went along the way, Shimei went along the hillside across from him and cursed as he went, pelted him with stones and kicked up dust.

vw@2Samuel:16:15 @ Meanwhile Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, had come to Jerusalem; and Ahithophel with him.

vw@2Samuel:16:17 @ And Absalom said to Hushai, Is this your loyalty to your friend? Why have you not gone with your friend?

vw@2Samuel:16:18 @ And Hushai said to Absalom, No, but whom Jehovah and this people and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I shall be, and with him I shall remain.

vw@2Samuel:16:19 @ Furthermore, whom should I serve? Should I not serve before his son? As I have served before your father, so shall I be before your face.

vw@2Samuel:16:21 @ And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father’s concubines, whom he has left to keep the house; and all Israel will hear that you have become odious to your father. Then the hands of all who are with you will be strong.

vw@2Samuel:16:22 @ So they spread out a tent for Absalom on the housetop, and Absalom went in to his father’s concubines before the eyes of all Israel.

vw@2Samuel:17:1 @ Moreover Ahithophel said to Absalom, Now let me choose twelve thousand men, and I shall arise and pursue David tonight.

vw@2Samuel:17:2 @ I will come upon him while he is weary and weak handed, and make him afraid. And all the people who are with him will flee, and I will strike only the king.

vw@2Samuel:17:4 @ And the words were agreeable to the eyes of Absalom and all the elders of Israel.

vw@2Samuel:17:5 @ And Absalom said, Now call Hushai the Archite also, and we shall hear from his mouth.

vw@2Samuel:17:7 @ And Hushai said to Absalom: The counsel that Ahithophel has given is not good at this time.

vw@2Samuel:17:8 @ For, said Hushai, you know your father and his men, that they are mighty men, and they are bitter of soul, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field; and your father is a man of war, and will not lodge with the people.

vw@2Samuel:17:9 @ Behold now, he is hidden in some pit, or in some other place. And it will be, when some of them fall at first, that whoever hears it will say, There is a slaughter among the people who follow Absalom.

vw@2Samuel:17:10 @ And even he who is valiant, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will faint and melt away. For all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man, and those who are with him are valiant men.

vw@2Samuel:17:11 @ Therefore I counsel that all Israel be assembled and gathered to you, from Dan to Beer-sheba, like the sand that is by the sea for multitude, and that you go to battle in person.

vw@2Samuel:17:13 @ Moreover, if he has withdrawn into a city, then all Israel shall bring ropes to that city; and we shall pull it into the river, until there is not one pebble found there.

vw@2Samuel:17:14 @ So Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel. For Jehovah had purposed to frustrate the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that Jehovah might bring calamity upon Absalom.

vw@2Samuel:17:15 @ And Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, Thus and so has Ahithophel counseled Absalom and the elders of Israel, and thus and so I have counseled.

vw@2Samuel:17:18 @ Nevertheless a lad saw them, and reported to Absalom. But both of them went away quickly and came to a man’s house in Bahurim, who had a well in his court; and they went down into it.

vw@2Samuel:17:19 @ And the woman took and spread a covering over the well’s mouth, and spread ground grain on it; and the thing was not discovered.

vw@2Samuel:17:21 @ Now it came to pass, after they had departed, that they came up out of the well and went and reported to King David, and said to David, Arise and cross over the water quickly; for thus has Ahithophel counseled against you.

vw@2Samuel:17:23 @ And when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not carried out, he saddled a donkey, and arose and went home to his house, to his city, put his house in order, and hanged himself, and died; and he was buried in his father’s tomb.

vw@2Samuel:17:24 @ Then David went to Mahanaim. And Absalom crossed over the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.

vw@2Samuel:17:25 @ And Absalom set Amasa over the army instead of Joab. This Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Jithra, an Israelite, who had gone in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab’s mother.

vw@2Samuel:17:26 @ So Israel and Absalom encamped in the land of Gilead.

vw@2Samuel:18:2 @ And David sent out one third of the people under the hand of Joab, one third under the hand of Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab’s brother, and one third under the hand of Ittai the Gittite. And the king said to the people, I shall proceed to go out with you myself also.

vw@2Samuel:18:4 @ And the king said to them, I will do what is good in your eyes. So the king stood beside the gate, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.

vw@2Samuel:18:5 @ And the king commanded Joab, Abishai, and Ittai, saying, Deal gently for my sake with the young man Absalom. And all the people heard when the king charged the commanders concerning Absalom.

vw@2Samuel:18:6 @ So the people went out into the field to meet Israel. And the battle was in the forest of Ephraim.

vw@2Samuel:18:7 @ The people of Israel were smitten there before the servants of David, and there was a great slaughter that day of twenty thousand.

vw@2Samuel:18:9 @ And Absalom was encountered before the servants of David. Absalom was riding on a mule, the mule went under the thick boughs of a great terebinth tree, and his head caught in the terebinth; so he was left hanging between the heavens and earth; and the mule which was under him went on.

vw@2Samuel:18:12 @ And the man said to Joab, Though I were to receive a thousand shekels of silver in my hand, I would not put forth my hand against the king’s son. For in our ears the king charged you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Take heed that no one touches the young man Absalom!

vw@2Samuel:18:13 @ Otherwise I would have dealt falsely against my own soul. For there is nothing hidden from the king, and you yourself would have set yourself against me.

vw@2Samuel:18:14 @ And Joab said, I cannot wait before you. And he took three spears in his hand and thrust them through Absalom’s heart, while he was still alive in the midst of the terebinth tree.

vw@2Samuel:18:16 @ And Joab blew the shofar, and the people returned from pursuing Israel. For Joab had held back the people.

vw@2Samuel:18:17 @ And they took Absalom and cast him into a large pit in the forest, and laid a very large heap of stones over him. And all Israel fled, everyone to his tent.

vw@2Samuel:18:18 @ Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up a pillar for himself, which is in the King’s Valley; for he thought, I have no son to keep my name in remembrance. He called the pillar after his own name. And to this day it is called Absalom’s Monument.

vw@2Samuel:18:19 @ Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, Let me run now and bear good news to the king, how Jehovah has avenged him of his enemies.

vw@2Samuel:18:20 @ And Joab said to him, You are not the man for tidings this day, but you shall bear good news another day. But today you shall not bear good news, because the king’s son is dead.

vw@2Samuel:18:24 @ Now David was sitting between the two gates. And the watchman went up to the roof over the gate, to the wall, lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was running alone.

vw@2Samuel:18:25 @ And the watchman cried out and reported to the king. And the king said, If he is alone, there is news in his mouth. And he proceeded to come and drew near.

vw@2Samuel:18:26 @ Then the watchman saw another man running, and the watchman called to the gatekeeper and said, There is another man running alone! And the king said, He also brings news.

vw@2Samuel:18:27 @ And the watchman said, It looks like the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and comes with good news.

vw@2Samuel:18:28 @ And Ahimaaz called out and said to the king, Peace! And he bowed down with his face to the earth to the king, and said, Blessed is Jehovah your God, who has delivered up the men who had lifted up their hand against my lord the king!

vw@2Samuel:18:29 @ And king said, Is the young man Absalom safe? Ahimaaz answered, When Joab sent the king’s servant and me your servant, I saw a great tumult, but I did not know what it was about.

vw@2Samuel:18:31 @ And then Cushi came, and Cushi said, Good news, my lord the king! For Jehovah has avenged you this day of all those who were rising up against you.

vw@2Samuel:18:32 @ And the king said to Cushi, Is the young man Absalom safe? And Cushi answered, May the enemies of my lord the king, and all who have risen up against you to do harm, be like that young man!

vw@2Samuel:18:33 @ And the king was disquieted, and went up to the chamber over the gate, and wept. And as he went, he said thus: O my son Absalom; my son, my son Absalom; O that I had died in your place! O Absalom my son, my son!

vw@2Samuel:19:1 @ And it was reported to Joab, Behold, the king is weeping and mourning for Absalom.

vw@2Samuel:19:2 @ So the deliverance that day was turned into mourning for all the people. For the people heard it said that day, The king is grieved for his son.

vw@2Samuel:19:4 @ And the king had covered his face, and the king cried out with a loud voice, O my son Absalom! O Absalom, my son, my son!

vw@2Samuel:19:7 @ Now therefore, arise, go out and speak to the heart of your servants. For I swear by Jehovah, if you do not go out, not one will stay with you this night. And that will be worse for you than all the evil that has befallen you from your youth until now.

vw@2Samuel:19:8 @ And the king arose and sat in the gate. And they announced to all the people, saying, Behold, the king is sitting in the gate. So all the people came before the king. For everyone of Israel had fled to his tent.

vw@2Samuel:19:9 @ Now all the people were in a dispute throughout all the tribes of Israel, saying, The king has rescued us out of the hand of our enemies, he has delivered us out of the hand of the Philistines, and now he has fled from the land because of Absalom.

vw@2Samuel:19:11 @ So King David sent to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the words of all Israel have come to the king, to his house?

vw@2Samuel:19:14 @ And he inclined the hearts of all the men of Judah, as one man, so that they sent this word to the king: Return, you and all your servants!

vw@2Samuel:19:17 @ And there were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, and Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they had rushed over the Jordan before the king.

vw@2Samuel:19:18 @ And a ferryboat went across to carry over the king’s household, and to do good in his eyes. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king when he had crossed the Jordan.

vw@2Samuel:19:21 @ But Abishai the son of Zeruiah answered and said, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the anointed of Jehovah?

vw@2Samuel:19:22 @ And David said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you should be adversaries to me today? Shall any man be put to death today in Israel? For do I not know that today I am king over Israel?

vw@2Samuel:19:24 @ And Mephibosheth the son of Saul had come down to meet the king. And he had not attended to his feet, nor done his mustache, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he returned in peace.

vw@2Samuel:19:26 @ And he answered, My lord, O king, my servant deceived me. For your servant said, I will saddle a donkey for myself, that I may ride on it and go to the king, because your servant is lame.

vw@2Samuel:19:27 @ And he has slandered your servant to my lord the king, but my lord the king is like the angel of God. Therefore do what is good in your eyes.

vw@2Samuel:19:30 @ And Mephibosheth said to the king, Even let him take it all, inasmuch as my lord the king has come back in peace to his own house.

vw@2Samuel:19:35 @ I am today eighty years old. Can I discern between the good and bad? Can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Can I hear any longer the voice of singing men and singing women? Why then should your servant be a further burden to my lord the king?

vw@2Samuel:19:37 @ Please let your servant turn back again, that I may die in my own city, near the grave of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham; let him cross over with my lord the king, and do for him what is good in your eyes.

vw@2Samuel:19:38 @ And the king answered, Chimham shall cross over with me, and I will do for him what is good in your eyes. And whatever you choose of me, I will do for you.

vw@2Samuel:19:39 @ And all the people went over the Jordan. And when the king had crossed over, the king kissed Barzillai and blessed him, and he returned to his own place.

vw@2Samuel:19:40 @ And the king passed on over to Gilgal, and Chimham passed along with him. And all the people of Judah brought the king over, and also half the people of Israel.

vw@2Samuel:19:41 @ And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king, and said to the king, Why have our brethren, the men of Judah, stolen you away and brought the king, his household, and all David’s men with him across the Jordan?

vw@2Samuel:19:42 @ So all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, Because the king is next of kin to us. Why then are you angry over this matter? Have we ever eaten at the king’s expense? Or has he given us any gift?

vw@2Samuel:19:43 @ And the men of Israel answered the men of Judah, and said, We have ten parts in the king; therefore we also have more in David than you. Why then have you despised us; were we not the first to speak of bringing back our king? Yet the words of the men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the men of Israel.

vw@2Samuel:20:1 @ And there met them there a man of worthlessness, whose name was Sheba the son of Bichri, a Benjamite. And he blew a shofar, and said: We have no part in David, nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse; every man to his tents, O Israel!

vw@2Samuel:20:2 @ So every man of Israel withdrew from David, and followed after Sheba the son of Bichri. But the men of Judah, from the Jordan as far as Jerusalem, stayed close to their king.

vw@2Samuel:20:3 @ And David came to his house at Jerusalem. And the king took the ten women, his concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and put them in confinement and sustained them, but did not go in to them. Thus they were shut up to the day of their death, living in widowhood.

vw@2Samuel:20:6 @ And David said to Abishai, Now Sheba the son of Bichri will do us more harm than Absalom. Take your lord’s servants and pursue him, lest he find for himself fortified cities, and be snatched away before our eyes.

vw@2Samuel:20:8 @ When they were at the large stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came before them. Now Joab was dressed in battle armor; on it was a belt with a sword fastened in its sheath at his hips; and as he went forth, it fell out.

vw@2Samuel:20:9 @ Then Joab said to Amasa, Are you in health, my brother? And Joab took Amasa by the beard with his right hand to kiss him.

vw@2Samuel:20:10 @ But Amasa was not aware of the sword that was in Joab’s hand. And he struck him with it in the stomach, and his entrails poured out on the ground; and he did not strike him again. Thus he died. Then Joab and Abishai his brother pursued Sheba the son of Bichri.

vw@2Samuel:20:11 @ And one of Joab’s men stood near Amasa, and said, Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David; follow after Joab!

vw@2Samuel:20:12 @ But Amasa was wallowing in his blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he moved Amasa from the highway to the field and threw a garment over him, when he saw that everyone who came upon him stopped.

vw@2Samuel:20:14 @ And he went through all the tribes of Israel to Abel and Beth Maachah and all the Berites. So they were gathered together and also went after him.

vw@2Samuel:20:16 @ Then a wise woman cried out from the city, Hear, Hear! Please say to Joab, Come nearby, that I may speak with you.

vw@2Samuel:20:17 @ When he had come near to her, the woman said, Are you Joab? He answered, I am. Then she said to him, Hear the words of your handmaid. And he answered, I am listening.

vw@2Samuel:20:19 @ I am among the peaceable and faithful in Israel. You are seeking to destroy a city and a mother in Israel. Why would you swallow up the inheritance of Jehovah?

vw@2Samuel:20:21 @ That is not so. But a man from the mountains of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against the king, against David. Deliver him only, and I will depart from the city. So the woman said to Joab, Behold, his head shall be thrown to you over the wall.

vw@2Samuel:20:22 @ And the woman in her wisdom went to all the people. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. Then he blew a shofar, and they withdrew from the city, every man to his tent. And Joab returned to the king at Jerusalem.

vw@2Samuel:20:23 @ And Joab was over all the army of Israel; Benaiah the son of Jehoiada was over the Cherethites and the Pelethites;

vw@2Samuel:20:26 @ and Ira the Jairite was a chief minister to David.

vw@2Samuel:21:1 @ Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years, year after year; and David besought the face of Jehovah. And Jehovah answered, It is because of Saul and his bloody house, because he had killed the Gibeonites.

vw@2Samuel:21:2 @ So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. (Now the Gibeonites were not of the children of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites. The children of Israel had sworn peace to them, but Saul had sought to kill them in his zeal for the children of Israel and Judah.)

vw@2Samuel:21:4 @ And the Gibeonites said to him, We will have no silver or gold from Saul or from his house, nor shall you kill any man in Israel for us. So he said, Whatever you say, I will do for you.

vw@2Samuel:21:5 @ And they answered the king, As for the man who destroyed us and plotted against us, that we should be annihilated from remaining in any of the territories of Israel,

vw@2Samuel:21:6 @ let seven men of his sons be delivered to us, and we will hang them before Jehovah in Gibeah of Saul, whom Jehovah chose. And the king said, I will deliver them.

vw@2Samuel:21:12 @ And David went and took the bones of Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his son, from the men of Jabesh Gilead who had stolen them from the town square of Beth Shan, where the Philistines had hung them up, after the Philistines had struck down Saul in Gilboa.

vw@2Samuel:21:13 @ And he brought up the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from there; and they gathered the bones of those who were hanged.

vw@2Samuel:21:14 @ And they buried the bones of Saul and Jonathan his son in the land of Benjamin in Zelah, in the tomb of Kish his father. Thus they performed all that the king commanded. And after that God was entreated for the land.

vw@2Samuel:21:15 @ And the Philistines were at war again with Israel. And David and his servants with him went down and fought against the Philistines; and David grew faint.

vw@2Samuel:21:16 @ And Ishbi-Benob, who was of the sons of the giants, the weight of whose spear was three hundred shekels of bronze, who was bearing a new sword, intended to kill David.

vw@2Samuel:21:17 @ But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, You shall go out no more with us to battle, that you not quench the lamp of Israel.

vw@2Samuel:21:18 @ And it happened after this that there was again a battle with the Philistines at Gob. Then Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Saph, who was of the sons of the giants.

vw@2Samuel:21:19 @ Again there was war at Gob with the Philistines, where Elhanan the son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite killed one from Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

vw@2Samuel:21:21 @ And when he reproached Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.

vw@2Samuel:21:22 @ These four were born to the giants in Gath, and fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

vw@2Samuel:22:1 @ And David spoke to Jehovah the words of this song, on the day when Jehovah had delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul.

vw@2Samuel:22:2 @ And he said: Jehovah is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;

vw@2Samuel:22:4 @ I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised; thus shall I be saved from my enemies.

vw@2Samuel:22:7 @ in my distress I called upon Jehovah, and cried out to my God; and He heard my voice from His temple, and my cry entered His ears.

vw@2Samuel:22:9 @ Smoke went up from His nostrils, and devouring fire from His mouth; coals were kindled by it.

vw@2Samuel:22:10 @ He bowed the heavens also, and came down with darkness under His feet.

vw@2Samuel:22:14 @ Jehovah thundered from the heavens, and the Most High uttered His voice.

vw@2Samuel:22:15 @ He sent out arrows and scattered them; lightning bolts, and He discomfited them.

vw@2Samuel:22:16 @ And the channels of the sea were seen, the foundations of the world were uncovered, at the rebuke of Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.

vw@2Samuel:22:23 @ For all His judgments were before me; and as for His statutes, I did not turn aside from them.

vw@2Samuel:22:25 @ Therefore Jehovah has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness before His eyes.

vw@2Samuel:22:27 @ with the pure You show Yourself pure; and with the perverse You show Yourself twisted.

vw@2Samuel:22:31 @ As for the Mighty God, His way is perfect; the Word of Jehovah is proven; He is a shield to all who seek refuge in Him.

vw@2Samuel:22:32 @ For who is the Mighty God, except Jehovah? And who is a rock, except our God?

vw@2Samuel:22:33 @ The Mighty God is my refuge and strength, and He makes my way whole.

vw@2Samuel:22:39 @ And I destroyed and shattered them, so that they could not rise; they fell under my feet.

vw@2Samuel:22:40 @ For You girded me with strength for battle; those rising against me You caused to bow under me.

vw@2Samuel:22:47 @ Jehovah lives! Blessed is my Rock! Exalted is God, the Rock of my salvation!

vw@2Samuel:22:48 @ It is the Mighty God who avenges me, and brings down the peoples under me;

vw@2Samuel:22:49 @ He delivers me from my enemies. You also lift me up above those rising against me; You deliver me from the violent man.

vw@2Samuel:22:51 @ He is the tower of salvation to His king, and shows mercy to His anointed, unto David and his seed forevermore.

vw@2Samuel:23:1 @ Now these are the last words of David. Thus says David the son of Jesse; thus says the man raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel:

vw@2Samuel:23:2 @ The Spirit of Jehovah has spoken by me, and His Word was on my tongue.

vw@2Samuel:23:3 @ The God of Israel has said, the Rock of Israel has spoken to me: He who rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God.

vw@2Samuel:23:4 @ And he shall be like the light of the morning when the sun rises, a morning without clouds, like the tender grass springing out of the earth, by clear shining after rain.

vw@2Samuel:23:5 @ Although my house is not so with the Mighty God, yet He has made with me a perpetual covenant, ordered in all things and secure. For all my salvation and all my desire, will He not make it grow?

vw@2Samuel:23:9 @ And after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there for battle, and the men of Israel retreated.

vw@2Samuel:23:10 @ He rose up and struck the Philistines until his hand was weary, and his hand clung to the sword. Jehovah brought about a great deliverance that day; and the people returned after him only to plunder.

vw@2Samuel:23:11 @ And after him was Shammah the son of Agee the Hararite. The Philistines had gathered together into a troop where there was a piece of ground full of lentils, and the people had fled before the Philistines.

vw@2Samuel:23:12 @ But he took his stand in the middle of the plot, delivered it, and struck the Philistines. And Jehovah brought about a great deliverance.

vw@2Samuel:23:13 @ And three of the thirty chief men went down at harvest time and came to David at the cave of Adullam. And the company of the Philistines encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.

vw@2Samuel:23:14 @ David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

vw@2Samuel:23:15 @ And David longed and said, Oh, that someone would give me a drink of the water from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!

vw@2Samuel:23:16 @ So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem that was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured it out to Jehovah.

vw@2Samuel:23:17 @ And he said, Far be it from me, O Jehovah, that I should do this! Should I drink the blood of the men who went in jeopardy of their souls? Therefore he would not drink it. These things were done by the three mighty men.

vw@2Samuel:23:18 @ And Abishai the brother of Joab, the son of Zeruiah, was chief of another three. He lifted his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and won a name among these three.

vw@2Samuel:23:21 @ And he killed an Egyptian, a spectacular man. The Egyptian had a spear in his hand; so he went down to him with a staff, wrested the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.

vw@2Samuel:23:23 @ He was more honored than the thirty, but he had not attained to the first three. And David appointed him over his guard.

vw@2Samuel:24:1 @ Again the anger of Jehovah burned against Israel, and He moved David against them to say, Go, number Israel and Judah.

vw@2Samuel:24:2 @ So the king said to Joab the commander of the army who was with him, Now go throughout all the tribes of Israel, from Dan to Beer-sheba, and number the people, that I may know the number of the people.

vw@2Samuel:24:3 @ And Joab said to the king, Now may Jehovah your God add to the people a hundred times more than there are, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it. But why does my lord the king desire this thing?

vw@2Samuel:24:4 @ Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab and against the commanders of the army. Therefore Joab and the commanders of the army went out from before the king to number the people of Israel.

vw@2Samuel:24:5 @ And they crossed over the Jordan and camped in Aroer, on the right side of the town which is in the midst of the valley of Gad, and toward Jazer.

vw@2Samuel:24:9 @ And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to the king. And there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.

vw@2Samuel:24:10 @ And David’s heart was smitten after he had numbered the people. So David said to Jehovah, I have sinned greatly in what I have done; but now, I pray, O Jehovah, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly.

vw@2Samuel:24:14 @ And David said to Gad, I am in great distress. Let us fall now into the hand of Jehovah, for His mercies are great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man.

vw@2Samuel:24:15 @ So Jehovah sent a plague upon Israel from the morning till the appointed time. From Dan to Beer-sheba seventy thousand men of the people died.

vw@2Samuel:24:16 @ And when the Angel stretched out His hand over Jerusalem to destroy it, Jehovah was moved to compassion regarding the evil, and said to the Angel who was destroying the people, Enough! Now restrain your hand. And the Angel of Jehovah was by the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

vw@2Samuel:24:20 @ And Araunah looked and saw the king and his servants crossing over toward him. So Araunah went out and bowed before the king with his face to the ground.

vw@2Samuel:24:21 @ And Araunah said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To buy the threshing floor from you, to build an altar unto Jehovah, that the plague may be restrained from the people.

vw@2Samuel:24:22 @ And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take and offer up whatever is good in his eyes. Behold, the oxen for the burnt offering, and the threshing implements and the yokes of the oxen for wood.

vw@2Samuel:24:25 @ And David built there an altar unto Jehovah, and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. And Jehovah was entreated for the land, and the plague was restrained from Israel.

vw@1Kings:1:2 @ Therefore his servants said to him, Let a young woman, a virgin, be sought for our lord the king, and let her stand before the king, and serve him; and let her lie in your bosom, that our lord the king may be warm.

vw@1Kings:1:3 @ So they sought for a beautiful girl throughout all the territory of Israel, and found Abishag the Shunammite, and brought her to the king.

vw@1Kings:1:4 @ The girl was very beautiful; and she served the king, and ministered to him; but the king did not know her.

vw@1Kings:1:6 @ (Now his father had not hurt him at any time by saying, Why have you done so? He was also very good in appearance. And his mother had borne him after Absalom.)

vw@1Kings:1:9 @ And Adonijah sacrificed sheep and oxen and fatlings by the stone of Zoheleth, which is by En Rogel; he also invited all his brothers, the king’s sons, and all the men of Judah, the king’s servants.

vw@1Kings:1:10 @ But he did not invite Nathan the prophet, Benaiah, the mighty men, or Solomon his brother.

vw@1Kings:1:15 @ So Bathsheba came into the chamber to the king. (Now the king was very old, and Abishag the Shunammite was ministering to the king.)

vw@1Kings:1:20 @ And as for you, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Israel are upon you, to tell them who will sit on the throne of my lord the king after him.

vw@1Kings:1:21 @ Otherwise it will happen, when my lord the king lies down with his fathers, that I and my son Solomon will be counted as offenders.

vw@1Kings:1:23 @ And they reported to the king, saying, Behold, Nathan the prophet. And when he came in before the king, he bowed down to the king with his face to the ground.

vw@1Kings:1:27 @ Has this thing been brought about by my lord the king, and you have not declared to your servants who should sit on the throne of my lord the king after him?

vw@1Kings:1:29 @ And the king swore and said, As Jehovah lives, who has redeemed my life from every distress,

vw@1Kings:1:30 @ just as I have sworn to you by Jehovah the God of Israel, saying, Surely Solomon your son shall be king after me, and he shall sit on my throne in my place, thus I shall do this day.

vw@1Kings:1:34 @ There let Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet anoint him king over Israel; and blow the shofar, and say, Long live King Solomon!

vw@1Kings:1:35 @ And when you have come up after him, he shall come and sit on my throne, and he shall be king in my place. For I have appointed him to be ruler over Israel and Judah.

vw@1Kings:1:37 @ As Jehovah has been with my lord the king, even so shall He be with Solomon, and make his throne greater than the throne of my lord King David.

vw@1Kings:1:41 @ And Adonijah and all the guests who were with him heard it as they had finished eating. And when Joab heard the sound of the shofar, he said, Why is the city in such a commotion?

vw@1Kings:1:45 @ And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet have anointed him king at Gihon; and they have gone up from there rejoicing, so that the city is all stirred up. This is the sound that you have heard.

vw@1Kings:1:47 @ And moreover the king’s servants have gone to bless our lord King David, saying, May God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and may He make his throne greater than your throne. And the king bowed himself on the bed.

vw@1Kings:1:48 @ Also the king has said, Blessed is Jehovah the God of Israel, who has given one to sit on my throne this day, with my eyes seeing it!

vw@1Kings:1:49 @ So all the guests who were with Adonijah trembled, and rose up, and each one went his way.

vw@1Kings:1:51 @ And it was reported to Solomon, saying, Behold Adonijah is afraid of King Solomon; for behold, he has taken hold of the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon swear to me this day that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.

vw@1Kings:1:52 @ And Solomon said, If he is a son of worth, not one hair of him shall fall to the earth; but if evil is found in him, he shall die.

vw@1Kings:2:1 @ And the days drew near for David to die, and he charged Solomon his son, saying:

vw@1Kings:2:3 @ And keep the charge of Jehovah your God: to walk in His ways, to keep His statutes, His commandments, His judgments, and His testimonies, as it is written in the Law of Moses, that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn;

vw@1Kings:2:4 @ that Jehovah may establish His word which He has spoken concerning me, saying, If your sons take heed to their way, to walk before Me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, He said, there shall not fail to be a man on the throne of Israel.

vw@1Kings:2:5 @ Moreover you know also what Joab the son of Zeruiah did to me, and what he did to the two commanders of the armies of Israel, to Abner the son of Ner and Amasa the son of Jether, whom he killed. And he shed the blood of war in peacetime, and put the blood of war on the belt around his waist, and on the sandals on his feet.

vw@1Kings:2:6 @ Therefore do according to your wisdom, and do not let his gray hair go down to the grave in peace.

vw@1Kings:2:8 @ And behold, with you is Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, who cursed me with grievous cursing in the day when I went to Mahanaim. But he came down to meet me at the Jordan, and I swore to him by Jehovah, saying, I will not put you to death with the sword.

vw@1Kings:2:9 @ Now therefore, do not hold him guiltless, for you are a wise man and know what you ought to do to him; but bring his gray hair down to the grave with blood.

vw@1Kings:2:10 @ So David rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David.

vw@1Kings:2:11 @ The days that David reigned over Israel were forty years; seven years he reigned in Hebron, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty-three years.

vw@1Kings:2:12 @ And Solomon sat on the throne of his father David; and his kingdom was firmly established.

vw@1Kings:2:15 @ And he said, You know that the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had set their faces toward me, to reign. However, the kingdom has been turned around, and has become my brother’s; for it was his from Jehovah.

vw@1Kings:2:17 @ And he said, Please speak to King Solomon, for he will not turn away your face; that he would give me Abishag the Shunammite as wife.

vw@1Kings:2:19 @ Bathsheba therefore came to King Solomon, to speak to him for Adonijah. And the king rose up to meet her and bowed down to her, and sat down on his throne and had a throne set for the king’s mother; and she sat at his right hand.

vw@1Kings:2:21 @ So she said, Let Abishag the Shunammite be given to Adonijah your brother as wife.

vw@1Kings:2:22 @ And King Solomon answered and said to his mother, Now why are you asking for Abishag the Shunammite for Adonijah? Ask for him the kingdom also, for he is my older brother; for him, and for Abiathar the priest, and for Joab the son of Zeruiah.

vw@1Kings:2:23 @ And King Solomon swore by Jehovah, saying, May God do so to me, and more also, if Adonijah has not spoken this word against his own soul!

vw@1Kings:2:24 @ Now therefore, as Jehovah lives, who has confirmed me and set me on the throne of David my father, and who has established a house for me, as He has promised, Adonijah shall be put to death this day!

vw@1Kings:2:26 @ And to Abiathar the priest the king said, Go to Anathoth, to your own fields, for you are a man deserving of death; but I will not put you to death this day, because you have carried the ark of the Lord Jehovah before my father David, and because you were afflicted in every thing in which my father was afflicted.

vw@1Kings:2:29 @ And it was reported to King Solomon, Joab has fled to the tent of Jehovah, and behold, he is by the altar. So Solomon sent Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, fall upon him.

vw@1Kings:2:32 @ Thus Jehovah shall return his blood upon his own head, who has fallen upon two men more righteous and better than he, and killed them with the sword, without the knowledge of my father David: Abner the son of Ner, the commander of the army of Israel, and Amasa the son of Jether, the commander of the army of Judah.

vw@1Kings:2:33 @ Their blood shall therefore return upon the head of Joab and upon the head of his seed forever. But upon David and his seed, upon his house and his throne, there shall be peace forever from Jehovah.

vw@1Kings:2:34 @ So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up and fell upon him and killed him; and he was buried in his own house in the wilderness.

vw@1Kings:2:35 @ And the king appointed Benaiah the son of Jehoiada in his place over the army, and the king appointed Zadok the priest in the place of Abiathar.

vw@1Kings:2:38 @ And Shimei said to the king, The word is good. As my lord the king has spoken, thus your servant will do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerusalem many days.

vw@1Kings:2:39 @ And it came to pass at the end of three years, that two slaves of Shimei fled to Achish the son of Maachah, king of Gath. And they reported to Shimei, saying, Behold, your slaves are at Gath!

vw@1Kings:2:40 @ So Shimei rose up, saddled his donkey, and went to Achish at Gath to seek his slaves. And Shimei went and brought his slaves from Gath.

vw@1Kings:2:42 @ So the king sent and summoned Shimei, and said to him, Did I not make you swear by Jehovah, and warn you, saying, Consider to understand that on the day you go out and have gone anywhere, you shall be executed to death? And you said to me, The word I have heard is good.

vw@1Kings:2:45 @ But King Solomon shall be blessed, and the throne of David shall be established before Jehovah forever.

vw@1Kings:2:46 @ So the king commanded Benaiah the son of Jehoiada; and he went out and fell upon him, and he died. Thus the kingdom was established in the hand of Solomon.

vw@1Kings:3:1 @ And Solomon made himself son-in-law to Pharaoh king of Egypt, and married Pharaoh’s daughter; and he brought her into the City of David until he had finished building his own house, and the house of Jehovah, and the wall all around Jerusalem.

vw@1Kings:3:3 @ And Solomon loved Jehovah, walking in the statutes of his father David, except that he was sacrificing and burning incense at the high places.

vw@1Kings:3:6 @ And Solomon said: You have shown great mercy to Your servant David my father, because he walked before You in truth, in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with You; You have continued this great kindness for him, and You have given him a son sitting on his throne, as it is this day.

vw@1Kings:3:8 @ And Your servant is in the midst of Your people whom You have chosen, a people too numerous to be numbered or counted for multitude.

vw@1Kings:3:9 @ Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?

vw@1Kings:3:10 @ And the word was good in the eyes of Jehovah, that Solomon had asked this thing.

vw@1Kings:3:11 @ And God said to him: Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice,

vw@1Kings:3:12 @ behold, I have done according to your words; behold, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you.

vw@1Kings:3:15 @ And Solomon awoke; and behold it was a dream. And he came to Jerusalem and stood before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, offered up burnt offerings, offered peace offerings, and made a feast for all his servants.

vw@1Kings:3:17 @ And one woman said, O my lord, this woman and I are dwelling in the same house; and I gave birth while she was in the house.

vw@1Kings:3:18 @ Then it happened on the third day after I gave birth, that this woman also gave birth. And we were together; no one was with us in the house, except the two of us in the house.

vw@1Kings:3:19 @ And this woman’s son died in the night, because she had lain on him.

vw@1Kings:3:22 @ And the other woman said, No! But the living one is my son, and the dead one is your son. And the first woman said, No! But the dead one is your son, and the living one is my son. Thus they spoke before the king.

vw@1Kings:3:23 @ And the king said, The one says, This is my son, who lives, and your son is the dead one; and the other says, No! But your son is the dead one, and my son is the living one.

vw@1Kings:3:27 @ So the king answered and said, Give her the living child, and do not put him to death; she is his mother.

vw@1Kings:3:28 @ And all Israel heard of the judgment which the king had rendered, and they feared his presence; for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to execute justice.

vw@1Kings:4:1 @ Thus King Solomon was king over all Israel.

vw@1Kings:4:2 @ And these were his officials: Azariah the son of Zadok, the priest;

vw@1Kings:4:3 @ Elihoreph and Ahijah, the sons of Shisha, scribes; Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, the recorder;

vw@1Kings:4:6 @ Ahishar, over the household; and Adoniram the son of Abda, over the labor force.

vw@1Kings:4:7 @ And Solomon had twelve deputies over all Israel, who provided food for the king and his household; each one made provision for one month of the year.

vw@1Kings:4:12 @ Baana the son of Ahilud, in Taanach, Megiddo, and all Beth Shean, which is beside Zaretan below Jezreel, from Beth Shean to Abel Meholah, as far as the other side of Jokneam;

vw@1Kings:4:17 @ Jehoshaphat the son of Paruah, in Issachar;

vw@1Kings:4:20 @ Judah and Israel were as numerous as the sand by the sea in multitude, eating and drinking and rejoicing.

vw@1Kings:4:21 @ And Solomon reigned over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt. They brought tribute and served Solomon all the days of his life.

vw@1Kings:4:22 @ And Solomon’s provision for one day was thirty kors of fine flour, sixty kors of meal,

vw@1Kings:4:24 @ For he was ruling over all the region on this side of the River from Tiphsah even to Gaza, namely over all the kings on this side of the River; and he had peace on every side all around him.

vw@1Kings:4:25 @ And Judah and Israel dwelt securely, every man under his vine and his fig tree, from Dan as far as Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.

vw@1Kings:4:26 @ Solomon had forty thousand stalls of horses for his chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen.

vw@1Kings:4:27 @ And these deputies, each man in his month, provided food for King Solomon and for all who came to King Solomon’s table. They left nothing lacking.

vw@1Kings:4:28 @ They also brought barley and straw to the assigned places, for the horses and steeds, each man according to his charge.

vw@1Kings:4:29 @ And God gave Solomon wisdom and exceedingly great understanding, and breadth of heart like the sand on the seashore.

vw@1Kings:4:30 @ Thus Solomon’s wisdom excelled the wisdom of all the sons of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt.

vw@1Kings:4:31 @ For he was wiser than all men; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, Chalcol, and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and his fame was in all the surrounding nations.

vw@1Kings:4:32 @ He spoke three thousand proverbs, and his songs were one thousand and five.

vw@1Kings:4:33 @ He also spoke of trees, from the cedar tree of Lebanon even to the hyssop that springs out of the wall; he spoke also of animals, of birds, of creeping things, and of fish.

vw@1Kings:4:34 @ And men of all nations, from all the kings of the earth who had heard of his wisdom, came to hear the wisdom of Solomon.

vw@1Kings:5:1 @ And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, because he heard that they had anointed him king in place of his father, for Hiram had loved David all his days.

vw@1Kings:5:3 @ You know how my father David could not build a house unto the name of Jehovah his God because of the wars that were around him on every side, until Jehovah had put them under the soles of his feet.

vw@1Kings:5:4 @ But now Jehovah my God has given me rest all around; there is neither adversary nor evil occurrence.

vw@1Kings:5:6 @ Now therefore, command that they cut down cedars for me from Lebanon; and my servants will be with your servants, and I will pay you wages for your servants according to whatever you say. For you know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.

vw@1Kings:5:7 @ And so it was, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly and said, Blessed is Jehovah this day, for He has given David a wise son over this great people!

vw@1Kings:5:10 @ And Hiram gave Solomon cedar and cypress timber according to all his desire.

vw@1Kings:5:11 @ And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand kors of wheat as food for his household, and twenty kors of beaten oil. Thus Solomon gave to Hiram year by year.

vw@1Kings:5:12 @ Thus Jehovah gave Solomon wisdom, as He had promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made an alliance together.

vw@1Kings:5:13 @ And King Solomon raised up a labor force out of all Israel; and the labor force was thirty thousand men.

vw@1Kings:6:1 @ And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon’s reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of Jehovah.

vw@1Kings:6:7 @ And the house, when it was being built, was built with stone finished at the quarry, so that no hammer or ax or any iron tool was heard in the house while it was being built.

vw@1Kings:6:9 @ Thus he built the house and finished it, and he paneled the house with beams and planks of cedar.

vw@1Kings:6:12 @ Concerning this house which you are building, if you walk in My statutes, execute My judgments, keep all My commandments to walk in them, then I will establish My word with you, which I have spoken unto your father David.

vw@1Kings:6:13 @ And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake My people Israel.

vw@1Kings:6:14 @ Thus Solomon built the house and finished it.

vw@1Kings:6:22 @ The whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house; also he overlaid with gold the entire altar that was by the inner sanctuary.

vw@1Kings:6:34 @ And the two doors were of cypress wood; two panels comprised one folding door, and two panels comprised the other folding door.

vw@1Kings:6:38 @ And in the eleventh year, in the month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the house was finished in all its details and according to all its plans. Thus he was seven years in building it.

vw@1Kings:7:1 @ And Solomon took thirteen years to build his own house; and he finished all his house.

vw@1Kings:7:8 @ And the house where he dwelt had another court inside the porch, of similar workmanship. Solomon also made a house like this porch for Pharaoh’s daughter, whom he had taken as wife.

vw@1Kings:7:14 @ He was the son of a widow woman from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, engraving in bronze; he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill to work in all workmanship in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and did all his work.

vw@1Kings:7:22 @ The tops of the pillars were made like lilies. Thus the work of the pillars was finished.

vw@1Kings:7:28 @ And this was the work of the cart: they had borders, and there were borders between the stays.

vw@1Kings:7:40 @ Hiram made the basins, the shovels and the bowls. Thus Hiram finished doing all the work that he did for King Solomon for the house of Jehovah:

vw@1Kings:7:45 @ the pots, the shovels, and the bowls. All these articles which Hiram made for King Solomon for the house of Jehovah were of burnished bronze.

vw@1Kings:7:51 @ Thus all the work that King Solomon had done for the house of Jehovah was finished; and Solomon brought in the things which his father David had consecrated: the silver and the gold and the articles, and He put them in the treasuries of the house of Jehovah.

vw@1Kings:8:1 @ Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel, unto King Solomon at Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the City of David, which is Zion.

vw@1Kings:8:2 @ Therefore all the men of Israel assembled unto King Solomon at the feast in the month of Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

vw@1Kings:8:3 @ So all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

vw@1Kings:8:5 @ And King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

vw@1Kings:8:8 @ The poles extended so that the ends of the poles could be seen from the holy place, in front of the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And they are there to this day.

vw@1Kings:8:9 @ Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses had put there at Horeb, when Jehovah had made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

vw@1Kings:8:11 @ such that the priests were not able to stand to minister before the cloud; for the glory of Jehovah had filled the house of Jehovah.

vw@1Kings:8:13 @ I have built to establish for You an exalted house, a fixed place for You to abide continually.

vw@1Kings:8:14 @ And the king turned his face around and blessed the whole assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.

vw@1Kings:8:15 @ And he said: Blessed is Jehovah the God of Israel, who has spoke with His mouth to my father David, and with His hand has fulfilled it, saying,

vw@1Kings:8:16 @ Since the day that I brought My people Israel out of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, for My name to be there; but I chose David to be over My people Israel.

vw@1Kings:8:17 @ Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@1Kings:8:20 @ Thus Jehovah has fulfilled His word which He has spoken; and I have risen up in place of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah has promised; and I have built a house for the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@1Kings:8:21 @ And there I have fixed a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of Jehovah which He had made with our fathers, when He brought them out from the land of Egypt.

vw@1Kings:8:22 @ Then Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward the heavens;

vw@1Kings:8:23 @ and he said: Jehovah the God of Israel, there is no god in the heavens above or on the earth below like You, who keeps Your covenant and mercy with Your servants who walk before You with all their hearts.

vw@1Kings:8:24 @ You have kept what You have promised Your servant David my father; You have both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day.

vw@1Kings:8:25 @ Therefore, Jehovah the God of Israel, now keep what You have promised Your servant David my father, saying, You shall not fail to have a man sitting before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, to walk before Me as you have walked before Me.

vw@1Kings:8:26 @ And now I pray, O God of Israel, let Your word be confirmed, which You have spoken to Your servant David my father.

vw@1Kings:8:27 @ But will God truly dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the Heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this house which I have built!

vw@1Kings:8:28 @ Yet regard the prayer of Your servant and his supplication, O Jehovah my God, and listen to the cry and the prayer which Your servant is praying before You today:

vw@1Kings:8:29 @ that Your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, toward the place of which You have said, My name shall be there, that You may hear the prayer which Your servant prays toward this place.

vw@1Kings:8:30 @ And may You hear the supplication of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Hear in Heaven Your dwelling place; and when You hear, forgive.

vw@1Kings:8:31 @ When anyone sins against his neighbor, and is required to take an oath, and has come to swear an oath before Your altar in this house,

vw@1Kings:8:32 @ then hear in Heaven, and act, and judge Your servants, to condemn the wicked, to bring his way upon his head, and to justify the righteous, giving him according to his righteousness.

vw@1Kings:8:33 @ When Your people Israel are struck down before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and when they turn back to You and confess Your name, and pray and make supplication to You in this house,

vw@1Kings:8:34 @ then hear in Heaven, and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which You have given to their fathers.

vw@1Kings:8:35 @ When the heavens are restrained and there is no rain because they have sinned against You; when they have prayed toward this place and confessed Your name, and turned from their sin because You afflicted them,

vw@1Kings:8:36 @ then hear in Heaven, and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain upon Your land which You have given to Your people as an inheritance.

vw@1Kings:8:37 @ When there is famine in the land, pestilence or blight or mildew, locusts or grasshoppers; when their enemy besieges them in the land in their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is;

vw@1Kings:8:38 @ whatever prayer, whatever supplication is made by anyone, or by all Your people Israel, when each one knows the plague of his own heart, and spreads out his hands toward this house:

vw@1Kings:8:39 @ then hear in Heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to everyone according to all his ways, whose heart You know (for You alone have known the hearts of all the sons of men),

vw@1Kings:8:41 @ Moreover, concerning a foreigner, who is not of Your people Israel, but has come from a distant land on account of Your name

vw@1Kings:8:42 @ (for they will hear of Your great name and Your strong hand and Your outstretched arm), when he has come and prayed toward this house,

vw@1Kings:8:43 @ hear in Heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls upon You, that all peoples of the earth may know Your name to fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by Your name.

vw@1Kings:8:46 @ When they sin against You (for there is no one who does not sin), and You have become angry with them and delivered them to the enemy, and they have taken them captive to the land of the enemy, far or near;

vw@1Kings:8:52 @ that Your eyes may be open to the supplication of Your servant and the supplication of Your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they call unto You.

vw@1Kings:8:54 @ And so it was, when Solomon had finished praying all this prayer and supplication unto Jehovah, that he arose before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to the heavens.

vw@1Kings:8:55 @ And he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying:

vw@1Kings:8:56 @ Blessed is Jehovah, who has given rest to His people Israel, according to all that He has spoken. There has not failed one word of all His good word, which He has spoken by the hand of His servant Moses.

vw@1Kings:8:58 @ that He may incline our hearts unto Himself, to walk in all His ways, and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His judgments, which He has commanded our fathers.

vw@1Kings:8:59 @ And may these words of mine, with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, be near Jehovah our God day and night, that He may attend to the cause of His servant and the cause of His people Israel, each matter from day to day,

vw@1Kings:8:60 @ that all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah is God; there is no other.

vw@1Kings:8:61 @ Let your heart therefore be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in His statutes and keep His commandments, as at this day.

vw@1Kings:8:62 @ And the king and all Israel with him were offering sacrifices before Jehovah.

vw@1Kings:8:63 @ And Solomon offered sacrifices of peace offerings, which he offered unto Jehovah, twenty-two thousand bulls and one hundred and twenty thousand sheep. Thus the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah.

vw@1Kings:8:65 @ And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven more days; fourteen days.

vw@1Kings:8:66 @ On the eighth day he sent the people away; and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the good that Jehovah had done for His servant David, and for Israel His people.

vw@1Kings:9:1 @ And it came to pass, when Solomon was finished building the house of Jehovah and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he had taken delight to do,

vw@1Kings:9:3 @ And Jehovah said to him: I have heard your prayer and your supplication that you have made before Me; I have consecrated this house which you have built to put My name there always; and My eyes and My heart will be there all the days.

vw@1Kings:9:5 @ then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I have spoken to David your father, saying, You shall not fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.

vw@1Kings:9:7 @ then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them; and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will send away from before My face; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

vw@1Kings:9:8 @ And as for this house, which is exalted, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and shall hiss, and say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land and to this house?

vw@1Kings:9:9 @ Then they will answer, Because they have forsaken Jehovah their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken up with other gods, and bowed down to them and served them; therefore Jehovah has brought all this evil upon them.

vw@1Kings:9:12 @ And Hiram went from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, but they were not pleasing to his eyes.

vw@1Kings:9:13 @ So he said, What kind of cities are these which you have given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul, to this day.

vw@1Kings:9:15 @ And this is the reason for the labor force which King Solomon raised: to build the house of Jehovah, his own house, the Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.

vw@1Kings:9:16 @ (Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer and burned it with fire, had killed the Canaanites who dwelt in the city, and had given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.)

vw@1Kings:9:19 @ all the storage cities that Solomon had, cities for his chariots and cities for his horsemen, and whatever Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

vw@1Kings:9:20 @ All the people who were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not of the children of Israel;

vw@1Kings:9:21 @ that is, their sons who were left in the land after them, whom the children of Israel had not been able to destroy completely; from these Solomon raised forced labor, as it is to this day.

vw@1Kings:9:22 @ But of the children of Israel Solomon made no slaves, because they were men of war and his servants: his officers, his captains, commanders of his chariots, and his horsemen.

vw@1Kings:9:25 @ Now three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he had built unto Jehovah, and he burned incense on the altar that was before Jehovah. Thus he finished the house.

vw@1Kings:9:26 @ King Solomon also built a fleet of ships at Ezion Geber, which is near Elath on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.

vw@1Kings:9:27 @ And Hiram sent his servants with the fleet, seamen who knew the sea, along with the servants of Solomon.

vw@1Kings:10:4 @ And when the queen of Sheba saw all the wisdom of Solomon, the house that he had built,

vw@1Kings:10:5 @ the food of his table, the seating of his servants, the service of his waiters and their apparel, his cupbearers, and his ascent by which he went up to the house of Jehovah, it took her breath away.

vw@1Kings:10:6 @ Then she said to the king: It was a true word which I heard in my own land about your words and your wisdom.

vw@1Kings:10:7 @ However I did not believe the words until I came and saw with my own eyes; and behold, the half was not told me. Your wisdom and prosperity exceed the fame of which I have heard.

vw@1Kings:10:8 @ Happy are your men and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom!

vw@1Kings:10:9 @ Blessed is Jehovah your God, who has delighted in you, setting you on the throne of Israel! Because of Jehovah’s eternal love for Israel, therefore He made you king, to execute justice and righteousness.

vw@1Kings:10:12 @ And the king made pillars of the almug wood for the house of Jehovah and for the king’s house, and harps and lutes for the singers. There never again came such almug wood, nor has the like been seen to this day.

vw@1Kings:10:20 @ Twelve lions were standing there, one on each side of the six steps; nothing like this had been made for any other kingdom.

vw@1Kings:10:21 @ All King Solomon’s drinking vessels were gold, and all the vessels of the house of the Forest of Lebanon were pure gold. Not one was silver, for this was accounted as nothing in the days of Solomon.

vw@1Kings:10:22 @ For the king had a fleet of ships at sea from Tarshish along with the fleet of Hiram; and once every three years the ships from Tarshish came bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.

vw@1Kings:10:23 @ Thus King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

vw@1Kings:10:24 @ And all the earth was seeking the presence of Solomon to hear his wisdom, which God had put into his heart.

vw@1Kings:10:25 @ Each man was bringing his present: articles of silver and gold, garments, armor, spices, horses, and mules, at a set rate year by year.

vw@1Kings:11:2 @ from the nations of whom Jehovah had said to the children of Israel, You shall not go in to them, nor they to you. Truly they will thrust aside your hearts after their gods. These, Solomon clung to in love.

vw@1Kings:11:3 @ And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives thrust away his heart.

vw@1Kings:11:4 @ For so it was, when Solomon was old, that his wives thrust his heart aside after other gods; and his heart was not perfect with Jehovah his God, as was the heart of his father David.

vw@1Kings:11:6 @ Solomon did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and did not fully follow after Jehovah, like his father David.

vw@1Kings:11:7 @ And Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the abomination of Moab, on the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech the abomination of the children of Ammon.

vw@1Kings:11:8 @ And he did likewise for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and sacrificed to their gods.

vw@1Kings:11:9 @ And Jehovah was angry with Solomon, because his heart had turned aside from Jehovah the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice,

vw@1Kings:11:10 @ and had charged him concerning this thing, that he should not depart after other gods; but he had not kept what Jehovah had charged.

vw@1Kings:11:11 @ Therefore Jehovah said to Solomon, Because you have done this, and have not kept My covenant and My statutes, which I have charged you, I will rend to tear the kingdom away from you, and have given it to your servant.

vw@1Kings:11:14 @ And Jehovah raised up an adversary against Solomon, Hadad the Edomite; he was of the seed of the king in Edom.

vw@1Kings:11:16 @ (because for six months Joab remained there with all Israel, until he had cut down every male in Edom),

vw@1Kings:11:17 @ that Hadad fled to go to Egypt, he and certain Edomites of his father’s servants with him. Hadad was still a little child.

vw@1Kings:11:19 @ And Hadad found great favor in the eyes of Pharaoh, so that he gave him as wife the sister of his own wife, that is, the sister of Queen Tahpenes.

vw@1Kings:11:20 @ And the sister of Tahpenes bore him Genubath his son, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh’s house. And Genubath was in Pharaoh’s household among the sons of Pharaoh.

vw@1Kings:11:21 @ So when Hadad heard in Egypt that David had rested with his fathers, and that Joab the commander of the army had died, Hadad said to Pharaoh, Let me depart, that I may go to my own land.

vw@1Kings:11:23 @ And God raised up another adversary against him, Rezon the son of Eliada, who had fled from his lord, Hadadezer king of Zobah.

vw@1Kings:11:25 @ He was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon (besides the evil that Hadad did); and he loathed Israel, and reigned over Syria.

vw@1Kings:11:26 @ And Jeroboam the son of Nebat, Solomon’s servant, an Ephrathite from Zereda, whose mother’s name was Zeruah, a widow woman, also lifted up his hand against the king.

vw@1Kings:11:27 @ And this was the matter for which he lifted up his hand against the king: Solomon had built the Millo and repaired the breaches to the City of David his father.

vw@1Kings:11:31 @ And he said to Jeroboam, Take for yourself ten pieces, for thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: Behold, I am tearing the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and have given ten tribes to you

vw@1Kings:11:32 @ (but he shall have one tribe for the sake of My servant David, and for the sake of Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel),

vw@1Kings:11:33 @ because they have forsaken Me, and bowed down to Ashtaroth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of the Moabites, and Milcom the god of the children of Ammon, and have not walked in My ways to do what is right in My eyes and to keep My statutes and My judgments, as did his father David.

vw@1Kings:11:34 @ However I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, because I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of My servant David, whom I have chosen because he has kept My commandments and My statutes.

vw@1Kings:11:35 @ But I have taken the kingdom out of his son’s hand and given it to you; ten tribes.

vw@1Kings:11:36 @ And to his son I will give one tribe, that My servant David may always have a lamp before Me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for Myself, to put My name there.

vw@1Kings:11:37 @ And I will take you, and you shall reign according to all your soul’s desires, and you shall be king over Israel.

vw@1Kings:11:38 @ And it shall be, if you heed all that I command you, walk in My ways, and do what is right in My eyes, to keep My statutes and My commandments, as My servant David has done, then I will be with you and build for you an enduring house, as I have built for David, and will give Israel to you.

vw@1Kings:11:39 @ And I will afflict the seed of David because of this, but not for all time.

vw@1Kings:11:40 @ Solomon therefore sought to kill Jeroboam. But Jeroboam arose and fled to Egypt, to Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egypt until the death of Solomon.

vw@1Kings:11:41 @ Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, all that he did, and his wisdom, are they not written in the book of the Acts of Solomon.

vw@1Kings:11:42 @ And the days that Solomon had reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

vw@1Kings:11:43 @ And Solomon rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David his father. And Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.

vw@1Kings:12:1 @ And Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.

vw@1Kings:12:3 @ that they sent and called for him. Then Jeroboam and the whole assembly of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

vw@1Kings:12:4 @ Your father had made our yoke severe; now therefore, lighten the hard service of your father, and his heavy yoke which he had put on us, and we will serve you.

vw@1Kings:12:6 @ And King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, and he said, How do you counsel me to answer these people?

vw@1Kings:12:9 @ And he said to them, What counsel do you give? How should we answer this people who have spoken to me, saying, Lighten the yoke which your father has put on us?

vw@1Kings:12:10 @ And the young men who had grown up with him spoke to him, saying, Thus you shall speak to this people who have spoken to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, but you make it lighter on us; thus you shall say to them: My little finger has become fatter than my father’s loins!

vw@1Kings:12:11 @ And now, whereas my father put a heavy yoke on you, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions!

vw@1Kings:12:14 @ and he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions!

vw@1Kings:12:15 @ Thus the king did not give heed to the people; for the turn of events was from Jehovah, to establish His word, which Jehovah had spoken by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

vw@1Kings:12:16 @ And when all Israel saw that the king had not heeded them, the people answered the king, saying: What portion do we have in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. To your tents, O Israel! Now, see to your own house, O David! And Israel departed to their tents.

vw@1Kings:12:17 @ Thus Rehoboam reigned over the children of Israel who dwelt in the cities of Judah.

vw@1Kings:12:18 @ And King Rehoboam sent Adoram, who was over the tribute, but all Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. Therefore King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste to flee to Jerusalem.

vw@1Kings:12:19 @ Thus Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.

vw@1Kings:12:20 @ And it came to pass when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had come back, that they sent for him and called him to the congregation, and made him king over all Israel. There was no one who followed the house of David, but the tribe of Judah only.

vw@1Kings:12:21 @ And when Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah with the tribe of Benjamin, one hundred and eighty thousand choice men who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel, that he might restore the kingdom to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

vw@1Kings:12:24 @ Thus says Jehovah: You shall not go up nor fight against your brethren the children of Israel. Let every man return to his house, for this thing has come about from Me. Therefore they obeyed the Word of Jehovah, and returned to go back, according to the Word of Jehovah.

vw@1Kings:12:26 @ And Jeroboam thought in his heart, Now the kingdom may return to the house of David:

vw@1Kings:12:27 @ If these people go up to offer sacrifices at the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will turn back to their lord, Rehoboam king of Judah, and they will kill me and go back to Rehoboam king of Judah.

vw@1Kings:12:28 @ Therefore the king took counsel, made two calves of gold, and said to them, It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Behold your gods, O Israel, which brought you up from the land of Egypt!

vw@1Kings:12:30 @ Now this thing became a sin, for the people went before the one, even as far as Daniel.

vw@1Kings:12:33 @ Thus he offered up on the altar which he had made at Bethel on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the month which he had contrived in his own heart. And he ordained a feast for the children of Israel, and offered sacrifices on the altar and burned incense.

vw@1Kings:13:3 @ And he gave a sign the same day, saying, This is the sign that Jehovah has spoken this: Behold, the altar shall split apart, and the ashes on it shall be poured out.

vw@1Kings:13:4 @ So it came to pass when King Jeroboam heard the utterance of the man of God, who cried out against the altar in Bethel, that he stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying, Arrest him! And his hand, which he had stretched forth toward him, withered, so that he could not pull it back to himself.

vw@1Kings:13:8 @ But the man of God said to the king, If you were to give me half your house, I would not go in with you; nor would I eat bread nor drink water in this place.

vw@1Kings:13:11 @ Now an old prophet dwelt in Bethel, and his sons came and recounted to him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel; they also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.

vw@1Kings:13:12 @ And their father said to them, Which way did he go? For his sons had seen which way the man of God had gone, who had come from Judah.

vw@1Kings:13:13 @ And he said to his sons, Saddle the donkey for me. So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on it,

vw@1Kings:13:16 @ And he said, I cannot return with you nor go in with you; neither can I eat bread nor drink water with you in this place.

vw@1Kings:13:19 @ So he turned back with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.

vw@1Kings:13:21 @ and he cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah, saying, Thus says Jehovah: Because you have disobeyed the Word of Jehovah, and have not kept the commandment with which Jehovah your God has charged you,

vw@1Kings:13:24 @ And when he left, a lion met him on the road and killed him. And his corpse was thrown on the road, and the donkey was standing by it. The lion also was standing by the corpse.

vw@1Kings:13:26 @ Now when the prophet who had brought him back from the way heard it, he said, It is the man of God who had been rebellious against the mouth of Jehovah. Therefore Jehovah has delivered him to the lion, which has torn him and killed him, according to the Word of Jehovah which He had spoken to him.

vw@1Kings:13:27 @ And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle the donkey for me. So they saddled it.

vw@1Kings:13:28 @ And he went and found his corpse thrown on the road, and the donkey and the lion standing by the corpse. The lion had not eaten the corpse nor torn the donkey.

vw@1Kings:13:30 @ And he laid the corpse in his own tomb; and they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother!

vw@1Kings:13:31 @ So it was, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the tomb where the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.

vw@1Kings:13:33 @ After these events Jeroboam did not turn from his evil way, but he went back to making priests from among all the people for the high places; whoever wished, he confirmed his hand, and he became one of the priests of the high places.

vw@1Kings:13:34 @ And this matter was the sin of the house of Jeroboam, so as to annihilate and destroy it from the face of the earth.

vw@1Kings:14:2 @ And Jeroboam said to his wife, Please arise, and disguise yourself, that they may not recognize you as the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh. Behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who told me that I would be king over this people.

vw@1Kings:14:4 @ And Jeroboam’s wife did so; she arose and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. But Ahijah could not see, for his eyes had become fixed by reason of his age.

vw@1Kings:14:5 @ And Jehovah had said to Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to ask you something about her son, for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall say to her; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend to be another woman.

vw@1Kings:14:7 @ Go, say to Jeroboam, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: Because I have exalted you from among the people, and appointed you ruler over My people Israel,

vw@1Kings:14:8 @ and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to you; and yet you have not been as My servant David, who kept My commandments and who walked after Me with all his heart, to do only what was right in My eyes;

vw@1Kings:14:10 @ therefore behold, I am bringing calamity upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam him who urinates against a wall, both bond and free in Israel; I will consume the remnant of the house of Jeroboam, as one takes away the dung for burning until it is all gone.

vw@1Kings:14:12 @ Arise therefore, go to your own house. When your feet enter the city, the child shall die.

vw@1Kings:14:13 @ And all Israel shall mourn for him and bury him, for he is the only one of Jeroboam who shall come to the grave; because out of the whole house of Jeroboam, only in him there is found something good toward Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@1Kings:14:14 @ Moreover Jehovah shall raise up for Himself a king over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day. What? Even straightaway!

vw@1Kings:14:15 @ For Jehovah shall strike Israel, as a reed flutters in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land which He has given to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their groves, provoking Jehovah to anger.

vw@1Kings:14:16 @ And He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, who has sinned and has made Israel sin.

vw@1Kings:14:18 @ And they buried him; and all Israel mourned for him, according to the Word of Jehovah which He had spoken by the hand of His servant Ahijah the prophet.

vw@1Kings:14:19 @ Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he made war and how he reigned, behold they are written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel.

vw@1Kings:14:20 @ The days that Jeroboam reigned were twenty-two years. And he rested with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.

vw@1Kings:14:21 @ And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king. He reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. His mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.

vw@1Kings:14:24 @ And there were also male temple prostitutes in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which Jehovah had cast out before the children of Israel.

vw@1Kings:14:25 @ And it came to pass in the fifth year of King Rehoboam that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.

vw@1Kings:14:31 @ So Rehoboam rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. His mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his place.

vw@1Kings:15:2 @ He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maachah the daughter of Abishalom.

vw@1Kings:15:3 @ And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; his heart was not perfect toward Jehovah his God, as was the heart of his father David.

vw@1Kings:15:4 @ Nevertheless for David’s sake Jehovah his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him to establish Jerusalem;

vw@1Kings:15:5 @ because David had done what was right in the eyes of Jehovah, and had not turned aside from anything that He had commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.

vw@1Kings:15:6 @ And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.

vw@1Kings:15:8 @ And Abijam rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And Asa his son reigned in his place.

vw@1Kings:15:9 @ In the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, Asa became king over Judah.

vw@1Kings:15:10 @ And he reigned forty-one years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maachah the daughter of Abishalom.

vw@1Kings:15:11 @ Asa did what was right in the eyes of Jehovah, as did his father David.

vw@1Kings:15:12 @ And he took away the male temple prostitutes from the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.

vw@1Kings:15:13 @ Also he removed Maachah his mother from being queen mother, because she had made a horrible thing in a grove. And Asa cut down her horrible thing and burned it by the Brook Kidron.

vw@1Kings:15:14 @ But the high places were not removed. Nevertheless Asa’s heart was perfect toward Jehovah all his days.

vw@1Kings:15:15 @ He also brought into the house of Jehovah the things which his father had set apart, and the things which he himself had set apart: silver and gold and utensils.

vw@1Kings:15:16 @ And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.

vw@1Kings:15:17 @ And Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might let no one go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

vw@1Kings:15:18 @ Then Asa took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the house of Jehovah and the treasuries of the king’s house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants. And King Asa sent them to Ben-Hadad the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying,

vw@1Kings:15:19 @ Let there be a treaty between you and me, as there was between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you a present of silver and gold. Come and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.

vw@1Kings:15:20 @ So Ben-Hadad heeded King Asa, and sent the commanders of his forces against the cities of Israel. And he struck Ijon, Dan, Abel Beth Maachah, and all Chinnereth, with all the land of Naphtali.

vw@1Kings:15:24 @ So Asa rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father. And Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place.

vw@1Kings:15:25 @ Now Nadab the son of Jeroboam had become king over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel two years.

vw@1Kings:15:26 @ And he did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and walked in the ways of his father, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin.

vw@1Kings:15:27 @ And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him. And Baasha killed him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines, while Nadab and all Israel was laying siege to Gibbethon.

vw@1Kings:15:28 @ Baasha killed him in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.

vw@1Kings:15:29 @ And it was so, when he became king, that he killed all the house of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam anyone that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the Word of Jehovah which He had spoken by His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

vw@1Kings:15:30 @ because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he had sinned and by which he had made Israel sin, because of his provocation with which he had provoked Jehovah the God of Israel to anger.

vw@1Kings:16:8 @ In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha became king over Israel, and reigned two years in Tirzah.

vw@1Kings:16:9 @ Now his servant Zimri, commander of half his chariots, conspired against him as he was in Tirzah drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, steward of his house in Tirzah.

vw@1Kings:16:10 @ And Zimri went in and struck him and killed him in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned in his place.

vw@1Kings:16:11 @ And it came to pass, when he began to reign, as soon as he was seated on his throne, that he killed all the household of Baasha; he did not leave him one who urinates against a wall, neither of his kinsmen nor of his friends.

vw@1Kings:16:13 @ for all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah his son, by which they had sinned and by which they had made Israel sin, in provoking Jehovah the God of Israel to anger with their vanities.

vw@1Kings:16:15 @ In the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, Zimri had reigned in Tirzah seven days. And the people were encamped against Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines.

vw@1Kings:16:16 @ And the people who were encamped heard it said, Zimri has conspired and also has killed the king. So all Israel made Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel that day in the camp.

vw@1Kings:16:17 @ And Omri and all Israel with him went up from Gibbethon, and they besieged Tirzah.

vw@1Kings:16:19 @ because of the sins which he had sinned in doing evil in the eyes of Jehovah, in walking in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sin which he had done to make Israel sin.

vw@1Kings:16:20 @ Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and the treason he committed, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel.

vw@1Kings:16:21 @ Then the people of Israel were divided into two parts: half of the people followed after Tibni the son of Ginath, to make him king, and half after Omri.

vw@1Kings:16:23 @ In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel, and reigned twelve years. Six years he reigned in Tirzah.

vw@1Kings:16:26 @ for he walked in all the ways of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and in his sin by which he had made Israel sin, to provoke Jehovah the God of Israel to anger with their vanities.

vw@1Kings:16:29 @ In the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, Ahab the son of Omri became king over Israel; and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.

vw@1Kings:16:33 @ And Ahab made a grove. Ahab did more to provoke Jehovah the God of Israel to anger than all the kings of Israel who were before him.

vw@1Kings:16:34 @ In his days Hiel of Bethel built Jericho. He laid its foundation with Abiram his firstborn, and with his youngest son Segub he set up its gates, according to the Word of Jehovah, which He had spoken through Joshua the son of Nun.

vw@1Kings:17:1 @ And Elijah the Tishbite, of the inhabitants of Gilead, said to Ahab, As Jehovah the God of Israel lives, before whom I stand, there shall not be dew nor rain these years, except according to my word.

vw@1Kings:17:3 @ Get away from here and turn eastward, and hide by the Brook Cherith, that is before the Jordan.

vw@1Kings:17:5 @ So he went and did according to the Word of Jehovah, for he went and stayed by the Brook Cherith, which is before the Jordan.

vw@1Kings:17:9 @ Arise, go to Zarephath, which belongs to Sidon, and dwell there. Behold, I have commanded a widow woman there to provide for you.

vw@1Kings:17:19 @ And he said to her, Give me your son. So he took him out of her bosom and carried him to the upper room where he was staying, and laid him on his own bed.

vw@1Kings:17:20 @ And he cried out unto Jehovah and said, O Jehovah my God, have You also brought tragedy upon the widow woman who is showing me hospitality, by killing her son?

vw@1Kings:17:21 @ And he stretched himself out on the child three times, and cried out unto Jehovah and said, O Jehovah my God, I pray, let this child’s soul return into him.

vw@1Kings:17:23 @ And Elijah took the child and brought him down from the upper room into the house, and gave him to his mother. And Elijah said, See, your son lives!

vw@1Kings:17:24 @ Then the woman said to Elijah, Now by this I know that you are a man of God, and that the Word of Jehovah in your mouth is truth.

vw@1Kings:18:3 @ And Ahab summoned Obadiah, who was in charge of his house. (Now Obadiah feared Jehovah greatly.

vw@1Kings:18:7 @ And as Obadiah was on his way, behold Elijah met him; and he recognized him, and fell on his face, and said, Is that you, my lord Elijah?

vw@1Kings:18:10 @ As Jehovah your God lives, there is no nation or kingdom where my master has not sent someone to hunt for you; and when they said, He is not here, he took an oath from the kingdom or nation that they did not find you.

vw@1Kings:18:11 @ And now you are saying, Go, tell your master, Behold Elijah is here!

vw@1Kings:18:14 @ And now you say, Go, tell your master, Behold Elijah is here. He will kill me!

vw@1Kings:18:18 @ And he answered, I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father’s house have, in that you have forsaken the commandments of Jehovah and have gone after the Baals.

vw@1Kings:18:19 @ Now therefore, send and gather all Israel to me on Mount Carmel, the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal, and the four hundred prophets of the groves, who eat at Jezebel’s table.

vw@1Kings:18:20 @ So Ahab sent for all the children of Israel, and gathered the prophets together on Mount Carmel.

vw@1Kings:18:21 @ And Elijah came to all the people, and said, How long will you be limping between two divided opinions? If Jehovah is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow after him. But the people answered him not a word.

vw@1Kings:18:24 @ Then you call on the name of your gods, and I will call upon the name of Jehovah; and the god who answers by fire, He is God. So all the people answered and said, The word is good.

vw@1Kings:18:27 @ And so it was, at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened.

vw@1Kings:18:31 @ And Elijah took twelve stones, according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the Word of Jehovah had come, saying, Israel shall be your name.

vw@1Kings:18:36 @ And it came to pass, at the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, that Elijah the prophet came near and said, Jehovah the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, let it be known this day that You are God in Israel and I am Your servant, and that I have done all these things at Your Word.

vw@1Kings:18:37 @ Testify, O Jehovah, testify, that this people may know that You are Jehovah God, and that You have turned their hearts around back to You.

vw@1Kings:18:39 @ And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces; and they said, Jehovah, He is God! Jehovah, He is God!

vw@1Kings:18:40 @ And Elijah said to them, Seize the prophets of Baal! Do not let one of them escape! So they seized them; and Elijah brought them down to the Brook Kishon and slaughtered them there.

vw@1Kings:18:41 @ And Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of abundance of rain.

vw@1Kings:18:42 @ So Ahab went up to eat and drink. And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees,

vw@1Kings:18:43 @ and said to his servant, Go up now, look toward the sea. So he went up and looked, and said, There is nothing. And seven times he said, Go back.

vw@1Kings:18:44 @ And it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, Behold, there is a cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea! So he said, Go up, say to Ahab, Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.

vw@1Kings:18:46 @ And the hand of Jehovah came upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran ahead of Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

vw@1Kings:19:2 @ And Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.

vw@1Kings:19:3 @ And when he saw that, he arose and ran for his life, and came to Beer-sheba of Judah, and left his servant there.

vw@1Kings:19:4 @ But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a broom tree. And he requested for his soul that he might die, and said, It is enough! Now, Jehovah, take my life, for I am no better than my fathers!

vw@1Kings:19:5 @ And as he lay and slept under a broom tree, behold an angel touched him, and said to him, Arise and eat.

vw@1Kings:19:6 @ And he looked, and behold, by his head was a cake baked on coals, and a jar of water. So he ate and drank, and turned and lay down.

vw@1Kings:19:7 @ And the Angel of Jehovah came back the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise and eat, because the journey is too great for you.

vw@1Kings:19:10 @ And he said, I have been very zealous for Jehovah the God of Hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek my soul, to take it away.

vw@1Kings:19:12 @ and after the earthquake a fire, but Jehovah was not in the fire; and after the fire a whisper of a small voice.

vw@1Kings:19:13 @ And so it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave; and behold, a voice came to him, and said, What are you doing here, Elijah?

vw@1Kings:19:14 @ And he said, I have been very zealous for Jehovah the God of Hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, torn down Your altars, and killed Your prophets with the sword. I alone am left; and they seek my soul, to take it away.

vw@1Kings:19:16 @ Also you shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel. And Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place.

vw@1Kings:19:17 @ It shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu shall kill; and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha shall kill.

vw@1Kings:19:18 @ Yet I have left in Israel seven thousand, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.

vw@1Kings:19:19 @ So he departed from there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he was with the twelfth. And Elijah passed by him and threw his mantle on him.

vw@1Kings:19:20 @ And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow after you. And he said to him, Turn and go back, for what have I done to you?

vw@1Kings:19:21 @ So Elisha turned back from after him, and took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them and boiled their flesh, using the oxen’s implements, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and went after Elijah, and served him.

vw@1Kings:20:1 @ Now Ben-Hadad the king of Syria gathered all his forces together; thirty-two kings were with him, with horses and chariots. And he went up and besieged Samaria, and made war against it.

vw@1Kings:20:2 @ And he sent messengers into the city to Ahab king of Israel, and said to him, Thus says Ben-Hadad:

vw@1Kings:20:22 @ And the prophet came to the king of Israel and said to him, Go, strengthen yourself; take note, and see what you should do, for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against you.

vw@1Kings:20:24 @ So do this thing: Remove the kings, each from his place, and put governors in their places;

vw@1Kings:20:26 @ So it was, at the turn of the year, that Ben-Hadad mustered the Syrians and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.

vw@1Kings:20:27 @ And the sons of Israel were mustered and given provisions, and they went against them. Now the sons of Israel encamped before them like two little flocks of goats, while the Syrians filled the land.

vw@1Kings:20:28 @ And a man of God came and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, Thus says Jehovah: Because the Syrians have said, Jehovah is God of the hills, but He is not God of the valleys, therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@1Kings:20:29 @ And they encamped opposite each other for seven days. So it was that on the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand foot soldiers of the Syrians in one day.

vw@1Kings:20:31 @ And his servants said to him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please, let us put sackcloth on our loins and ropes around our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will preserve alive your soul.

vw@1Kings:20:32 @ So they girded sackcloth on their loins and put ropes around their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, Your servant Ben-Hadad says, Please preserve my soul alive. And he said, Is he still alive? He is my brother.

vw@1Kings:20:33 @ Now the men observed carefully, and they quickly grasped at this word and said, Your brother Ben-Hadad. And he said, Go, bring him. Then Ben-Hadad came out to him; and he had him come up into the chariot.

vw@1Kings:20:34 @ And Ben-Hadad said to him, The cities which my father took from your father I will restore; and you shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria. And Ahab said, I will send you away with this treaty. So he made a treaty with him and sent him away.

vw@1Kings:20:35 @ And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbor, By the Word of Jehovah, Strike me, please. And the man refused to strike him.

vw@1Kings:20:38 @ And the prophet departed and waited for the king by the road, and disguised himself with a cover over his eyes.

vw@1Kings:20:39 @ And as the king passed by, he cried out to the king and said, Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and there, a man came over and brought a man to me, and said, Guard this man; if by any means he is missing, your soul shall be for his soul, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.

vw@1Kings:20:40 @ And while your servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said to him, So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it.

vw@1Kings:20:41 @ And he hastened to take the covering away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him as one of the prophets.

vw@1Kings:20:42 @ And he said to him, Thus says Jehovah: Because you have sent away out of your hand a man whom I devoted to utter destruction, therefore your soul shall go for his soul, and your people for his people.

vw@1Kings:20:43 @ So the king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria.

vw@1Kings:21:2 @ And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near, next to my house; and for it I will give you a vineyard better than it. Or, if it is good in your eyes, I will give you its price in money.

vw@1Kings:21:4 @ So Ahab went into his house sullen and angry because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he had said, I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers. And he lay down on his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food.

vw@1Kings:21:5 @ And Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is your spirit so sullen that you are not eating food?

vw@1Kings:21:7 @ And Jezebel his wife said to him, Do you now rule over Israel? Arise, eat food, and let your heart be joyful. I will give you the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.

vw@1Kings:21:8 @ And she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and the nobles who were dwelling in the city with Naboth.

vw@1Kings:21:11 @ So the men of his city, the elders and nobles who were inhabitants of his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.

vw@1Kings:21:14 @ Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth has been stoned and is dead.

vw@1Kings:21:15 @ And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth had been stoned and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give you for money; for Naboth is not alive, but has died.

vw@1Kings:21:17 @ And the Word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

vw@1Kings:21:18 @ Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who lives in Samaria. Behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he has gone down to take possession of it.

vw@1Kings:21:21 @ Behold, I shall bring evil upon you. I shall take away your posterity, and shall cut off from Ahab in Israel everyone who urinates against a wall, both bond and free.

vw@1Kings:21:22 @ I have delivered up your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, because of the provocation with which you have provoked Me to anger, and made Israel sin.

vw@1Kings:21:25 @ Surely there had not been one like Ahab who had sold himself to do wickedness in the eyes of Jehovah, which his wife Jezebel had instigated.

vw@1Kings:21:26 @ And he did exceedingly abominably to follow after the idols, according to all that the Amorites had done, whom Jehovah had cast out before the children of Israel.

vw@1Kings:21:27 @ So it was, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes and put sackcloth on his flesh, and fasted and lay in sackcloth, and walked about softly.

vw@1Kings:21:28 @ And the Word of Jehovah came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

vw@1Kings:21:29 @ Have you seen how Ahab has humbled himself before Me? Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring about the evil in his days; but in the days of his son I will bring about the evil upon his house.

vw@1Kings:22:1 @ Now three years passed without war between Syria and Israel.

vw@1Kings:22:2 @ And it came to pass, in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went down to visit the king of Israel.

vw@1Kings:22:3 @ And the king of Israel said to his servants, Have you known that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, but we are being inactive to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?

vw@1Kings:22:4 @ And he said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to fight at Ramoth Gilead? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses.

vw@1Kings:22:5 @ Also Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Please inquire at the Word of Jehovah today.

vw@1Kings:22:6 @ So the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go against Ramoth Gilead to fight, or shall I refrain? And they said, Go up, for the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.

vw@1Kings:22:7 @ And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not still a prophet of Jehovah here, that we may inquire of Him?

vw@1Kings:22:8 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may inquire of Jehovah; but I hate him, because he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so!

vw@1Kings:22:9 @ Then the king of Israel summoned a certain official and said, Bring Micaiah the son of Imlah quickly!

vw@1Kings:22:10 @ And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, having put on their robes, sat each on his throne, at a vacant spot at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets were prophesying before them.

vw@1Kings:22:17 @ Then he said, I have seen all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep having no shepherd. And Jehovah said, These have no master. Let each return to his house in peace.

vw@1Kings:22:18 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell you he would not prophesy good concerning me, but evil?

vw@1Kings:22:19 @ And Micaiah said, Therefore hear the Word of Jehovah: I saw Jehovah sitting on His throne, and all the host of Heaven standing by, on His right hand and on His left.

vw@1Kings:22:20 @ And Jehovah said, Who will persuade Ahab to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead? So one said this, and another was saying that.

vw@1Kings:22:22 @ And Jehovah said to him, In what way? And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets. And Jehovah said, You shall entice him, and also prevail. Go out and do so.

vw@1Kings:22:26 @ So the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and return him to Amon the ruler of the city and to Joash the king’s son;

vw@1Kings:22:27 @ and say, Thus says the king: Put this fellow in prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and water of affliction, until I come in peace.

vw@1Kings:22:29 @ So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.

vw@1Kings:22:30 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself and go into battle; but you put on your robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into the battle.

vw@1Kings:22:31 @ Now the king of Syria had commanded the thirty-two commanders of his chariots, saying, Fight with no one small or great, but only with the king of Israel.

vw@1Kings:22:32 @ And so it was, when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel! Therefore they turned aside to fight against him, and Jehoshaphat cried out.

vw@1Kings:22:33 @ And it happened, when the commanders of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.

vw@1Kings:22:34 @ Now a certain man drew a bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So he said to the driver of his chariot, Turn your hand and take me out of the battle, for I am wounded.

vw@1Kings:22:35 @ And the battle increased that day; and the king was propped up in his chariot, facing the Syrians, and died at evening. And the blood ran out from the wound onto the floor of the chariot.

vw@1Kings:22:36 @ And as the sun was going down, a shout went throughout the camp, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own land!

vw@1Kings:22:38 @ And someone washed the chariot at a pool in Samaria, and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armor; according to the Word of Jehovah which He had spoken.

vw@1Kings:22:39 @ Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all that he did, the ivory house which he built and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel.

vw@1Kings:22:40 @ So Ahab rested with his fathers. And Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.

vw@1Kings:22:41 @ Jehoshaphat the son of Asa had become king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Israel.

vw@1Kings:22:42 @ Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

vw@1Kings:22:43 @ And he walked in all the ways of his father Asa. He did not turn aside from them, doing what was right in the eyes of Jehovah. Nevertheless the high places were not taken away, for the people offered sacrifices and burned incense on the high places.

vw@1Kings:22:44 @ Also Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.

vw@1Kings:22:46 @ And the rest of the male temple prostitutes, who had remained in the days of his father Asa, he removed out of the land.

vw@1Kings:22:50 @ And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David his father. And Jehoram his son reigned in his place.

vw@1Kings:22:51 @ Ahaziah the son of Ahab became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.

vw@1Kings:22:52 @ And he did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, and walked in the ways of his father and in the ways of his mother and in the ways of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin;

vw@1Kings:22:53 @ for he served Baal and bowed down to him, and provoked Jehovah the God of Israel to anger, according to all that his father had done.

vw@2Kings:1:1 @ Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.

vw@2Kings:1:2 @ Now Ahaziah fell through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria, and was ill; so he sent messengers and said to them, Go, inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I shall recover from this sickness.

vw@2Kings:1:3 @ And the Angel of Jehovah spoke to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron?

vw@2Kings:1:6 @ And they said to him, A man came up to meet us, and said to us, Go, return to the king who sent you, and say to him, Thus says Jehovah: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed upon which you have gone up, but you shall die the death.

vw@2Kings:1:8 @ So they answered him, A hairy man girded with a leather waistband around his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.

vw@2Kings:1:9 @ Then the king sent to him a commander of fifty with his fifty. So he went up to him; and behold, he was sitting on the top of a hill. And he spoke to him: Man of God, the king has said, Come down!

vw@2Kings:1:10 @ And Elijah answered and said to the commander of fifty, If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from the heavens and consume you and your fifty. And fire came down from the heavens and consumed him and his fifty.

vw@2Kings:1:11 @ Then he sent to him another commander of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said to him: Man of God, thus has the king said, Come down quickly!

vw@2Kings:1:12 @ And Elijah answered and said to them, If I am a man of God, let fire come down from the heavens and consume you and your fifty. And the fire of God came down from the heavens and consumed him and his fifty.

vw@2Kings:1:13 @ Again, he sent a third commander of fifty with his fifty. And the third commander of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and implored him, and said to him: Man of God, please let my life and the life of these fifty servants of yours be precious in your eyes.

vw@2Kings:1:16 @ And he said to him, Thus says Jehovah: Because you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, is it because there is no God in Israel to inquire of His Word? Therefore you shall not come down from the bed upon which you have gone up, but you shall die the death.

vw@2Kings:1:17 @ So Ahaziah died according to the Word of Jehovah which Elijah had spoken. Because he had no son, Jehoram became king in his place, in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah.

vw@2Kings:1:18 @ Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel.

vw@2Kings:2:1 @ And it came to pass, when Jehovah was about to take Elijah up into Heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah and Elisha went from Gilgal.

vw@2Kings:2:2 @ Then Elijah said to Elisha, Stay here, please, for Jehovah has sent me on to Bethel. But Elisha said, As Jehovah lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you! So they went down to Bethel.

vw@2Kings:2:3 @ And the sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, Do you know that Jehovah will take away your master from over you today? And he said, Yes, I know; keep silent!

vw@2Kings:2:4 @ Then Elijah said to him, Elisha, stay here, please, for Jehovah has sent me on to Jericho. But he said, As Jehovah lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you! So they came to Jericho.

vw@2Kings:2:5 @ And the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came to Elisha and said to him, Do you know that Jehovah will take away your master from over you today? And he answered, Yes, I know; keep silent!

vw@2Kings:2:7 @ And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood in view of them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan.

vw@2Kings:2:8 @ And Elijah took his mantle, rolled it up, and struck the water; and it was divided this way and that, so that the two of them crossed over on dry ground.

vw@2Kings:2:9 @ And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, Ask! What shall I do for you, before I am taken away from you? And Elisha said, Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me.

vw@2Kings:2:12 @ And Elisha was watching and crying out, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen! So he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces.

vw@2Kings:2:14 @ And he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, Where is Jehovah the God of Elijah? And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over.

vw@2Kings:2:15 @ And when the sons of the prophets from Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah rests upon Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed to the ground before him.

vw@2Kings:2:19 @ And the men of the city said to Elisha, Behold, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the ground barren.

vw@2Kings:2:21 @ And he went out to the spring of the water, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus says Jehovah: I have healed this water; from it there shall be no more death or barrenness.

vw@2Kings:2:22 @ Thus the waters remain healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he had spoken.

vw@2Kings:3:1 @ Now Jehoram the son of Ahab became king over Israel at Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.

vw@2Kings:3:2 @ And he did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, but not like his father and mother; for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.

vw@2Kings:3:3 @ Nevertheless he clung to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin; he did not depart from them.

vw@2Kings:3:4 @ Now Mesha the king of Moab was a raiser of sheep, and he had brought to the king of Israel one hundred thousand lambs and the wool of one hundred thousand rams.

vw@2Kings:3:5 @ But it happened, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.

vw@2Kings:3:6 @ So King Jehoram went out of Samaria that day and mustered all of Israel.

vw@2Kings:3:9 @ So the king of Israel went with the king of Judah and the king of Edom, and they made a circuit of a seven days’ journey; and there was no water for the camp, nor for the cattle at their feet.

vw@2Kings:3:10 @ And the king of Israel said, Alas! For Jehovah has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab!

vw@2Kings:3:11 @ But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not a prophet of Jehovah here, that we may inquire of Jehovah by him? So one of the servants of the king of Israel answered and said, Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.

vw@2Kings:3:12 @ And Jehoshaphat said, The Word of Jehovah is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.

vw@2Kings:3:13 @ And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? Go to the prophets of your father and the prophets of your mother. But the king of Israel said to him, No, for Jehovah has called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.

vw@2Kings:3:14 @ And Elisha said, As Jehovah of Hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, I would not pay attention to you, nor look at you.

vw@2Kings:3:16 @ And he said, Thus says Jehovah: Make this valley full of ditches.

vw@2Kings:3:18 @ And this is but a slight thing in the eyes of Jehovah; He has also delivered the Moabites into your hand.

vw@2Kings:3:23 @ And they said, This is blood; the kings have laid waste to make desolate, and have struck down one another; now therefore, Moab, to the spoils!

vw@2Kings:3:24 @ So when they came to the camp of Israel, Israel rose up and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they entered, striking to kill the Moabites.

vw@2Kings:3:27 @ Then he took his firstborn son who would have reigned in his place, and offered him as a burnt offering upon the wall. And there was great wrath against Israel; so they departed from him and returned to their own land.

vw@2Kings:4:1 @ Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared Jehovah. And the creditor is coming to take my two children to be his slaves.

vw@2Kings:4:2 @ And Elisha said to her, What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house? And she said, Your maidservant has nothing in the house but a flask of oil.

vw@2Kings:4:6 @ And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me another vessel. And he said to her, There is not another vessel. And the oil stopped.

vw@2Kings:4:8 @ And it happened one day that Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a notable woman, and she prevailed upon him to eat food. So it was, as often as he passed by, he would turn aside there to eat food.

vw@2Kings:4:9 @ And she said to her husband, Behold now, I know that this is a holy man of God, who passes by us continually.

vw@2Kings:4:12 @ And he said to Gehazi his servant, Summon this Shunammite. And when he had summoned her, she stood before him.

vw@2Kings:4:13 @ And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, you have been concerned for us with all this care. What shall I do for you? Shall I speak on your behalf to the king or to the commander of the army? She answered, I am dwelling among my own people.

vw@2Kings:4:14 @ So he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Truly, she has no son, and her husband is old.

vw@2Kings:4:17 @ And the woman conceived and bore a son at the appointed time, according to the time of life, as Elisha had spoken to her.

vw@2Kings:4:18 @ When the child was grown, it happened one day that he went out to his father, to the reapers.

vw@2Kings:4:19 @ And he said to his father, My head, my head! So he said to a servant, Carry him to his mother.

vw@2Kings:4:20 @ When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and died.

vw@2Kings:4:23 @ And he said, Why are you going to him today? It is neither the new moon nor the sabbath. And she said, It will be well.

vw@2Kings:4:25 @ So she departed, and went to the man of God at Mount Carmel. And so it was, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to his servant Gehazi, Behold, the Shunammite!

vw@2Kings:4:26 @ Please run now to meet her, and say to her, Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child? And she answered, It is well.

vw@2Kings:4:27 @ And when she came to the man of God at the hill, she took hold of his feet; and Gehazi came near to push her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is bitter, and Jehovah has hidden it from me, and has not told me.

vw@2Kings:4:32 @ And when Elisha came into the house, behold, the boy was dead, lying on his bed.

vw@2Kings:4:34 @ And he went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands; and he stretched himself out on the child, and the flesh of the child became warm.

vw@2Kings:4:35 @ He returned and walked back and forth in the house, and again went up and stretched himself out on him; then the boy sneezed seven times, and the boy opened his eyes.

vw@2Kings:4:36 @ And he summoned Gehazi and said, Summon this Shunammite. So he summoned her. And when she came in to him, he said, Take up your son.

vw@2Kings:4:37 @ And she went in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground, and took up her son and went out.

vw@2Kings:4:38 @ And Elisha returned to Gilgal. Now there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, Put on the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.

vw@2Kings:4:40 @ And they poured out for the men to eat. And it happened, as they were eating the stew, that they cried out and said, Man of God, there is death in the pot! And they could not eat it.

vw@2Kings:4:42 @ And a man came from Baal Shalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty loaves of barley bread, and fresh heads of grain in his sack. And he said, Give it to the people, that they may eat.

vw@2Kings:4:43 @ But his servant said, What? Shall I set this before one hundred men? He said again, Give it to the people, that they may eat; for thus says Jehovah: They shall eat and have some left over.

vw@2Kings:5:1 @ Now Naaman, a chief of the army of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man before his master, because by him Jehovah had given deliverance to Syria. He was also a mighty man of valor, but a leper.

vw@2Kings:5:2 @ And the Syrians had gone out on raids, and had brought back captive a little girl from the land of Israel; and she was before Naaman’s wife.

vw@2Kings:5:3 @ And she said to her mistress, If only my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! For he would take away his leprosy.

vw@2Kings:5:4 @ And he went in and told his master, saying, Thus and thus has spoken the girl, who is from the land of Israel.

vw@2Kings:5:5 @ And the king of Syria said, Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. So he departed and took in his hand ten talents of silver, six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothing.

vw@2Kings:5:6 @ Then he came to the king of Israel with the letter which said, As this letter comes to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may take away his leprosy.

vw@2Kings:5:7 @ And it happened, when the king of Israel read the letter, that he tore his clothes and said, Am I God, to kill and make alive, that this man sends a man to me to take away his leprosy? Therefore please consider, and see how he seeks a quarrel with me.

vw@2Kings:5:8 @ So it was, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, Why have you torn your clothes? Please let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.

vw@2Kings:5:9 @ So Naaman went with his horses and chariot, and stood at the door of Elisha’s house.

vw@2Kings:5:10 @ And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and you shall be clean.

vw@2Kings:5:11 @ But Naaman was furious, and went away and said, Behold I thought He would go forth to come out to me, and would have stood and called upon the name of Jehovah his God, and waved his hand over the place, and taken away the leprosy.

vw@2Kings:5:12 @ Are not the Abanah and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Could I not wash in them and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage.

vw@2Kings:5:13 @ And his servants came near and spoke to him, and said, My father, if the prophet had told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, Wash, and be clean?

vw@2Kings:5:14 @ So he went down and dipped seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little boy, and he was clean.

vw@2Kings:5:15 @ And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came and stood before him; and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, except in Israel; now therefore, please take a gift from your servant.

vw@2Kings:5:18 @ Yet in this thing may Jehovah pardon your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to bow down there, and he supports himself on my hand, and I bow down in the house of Rimmon; when I bow down in the house of Rimmon, may Jehovah please pardon your servant in this thing.

vw@2Kings:5:19 @ And he said to him, Go in peace. So he departed from him a short distance.

vw@2Kings:5:20 @ But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master has spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving from his hands what he brought; but as Jehovah lives, I will run after him and take something from him.

vw@2Kings:5:21 @ So Gehazi ran after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he got down from the chariot to meet him, and said, Is all well?

vw@2Kings:5:22 @ And he said, All is well. My master has sent me, saying, Behold, just now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the mountains of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of garments.

vw@2Kings:5:23 @ And Naaman said, Please, take two talents. And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of garments, and handed them to two of his servants; and they carried them before him.

vw@2Kings:5:25 @ And he went in and stood before his master; and Elisha said to him, Where have you been, Gehazi? And he said, Your servant did not go anywhere.

vw@2Kings:5:26 @ Then he said to him, Did not my heart go with you when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money and to receive clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, male and female servants?

vw@2Kings:5:27 @ Therefore the leprosy of Naaman shall cling to you and your seed always. And he went out from his presence leprous as snow.

vw@2Kings:6:1 @ And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, See now, the place where we are dwelling with you is too small for us.

vw@2Kings:6:7 @ Therefore he said, Pick it up for yourself. So he extended his hand and took it.

vw@2Kings:6:8 @ Now the king of Syria was making war against Israel; and he consulted with his servants, saying, My camp will be in such and such a place.

vw@2Kings:6:9 @ And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that you do not pass this place, for the Syrians are coming down there.

vw@2Kings:6:10 @ Then the king of Israel sent someone to the place of which the man of God had told him. Thus he warned him, and he was watchful there, not just once or twice.

vw@2Kings:6:11 @ Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was enraged over this thing; and he called his servants and said to them, Will you not report to me which of us is for the king of Israel?

vw@2Kings:6:12 @ And one of his servants said, No one, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.

vw@2Kings:6:13 @ So he said, Go and see where he is, that I may send and seize him. And it was reported to him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.

vw@2Kings:6:15 @ And when the servant of the man of God arose early and went out, behold, the army was surrounding the city with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! What shall we do?

vw@2Kings:6:17 @ And Elisha prayed, and said, Jehovah, I pray, open his eyes that he may see. And Jehovah opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

vw@2Kings:6:18 @ And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed to Jehovah, and said, Strike this people, I pray, with blindness. And He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

vw@2Kings:6:19 @ And Elisha said to them, This is not the way, nor is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek. But he led them to Samaria.

vw@2Kings:6:20 @ And so it was, when they had come to Samaria, that Elisha said, Jehovah, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And Jehovah opened their eyes, and they saw; and behold, they were in the middle of Samaria!

vw@2Kings:6:21 @ Now when the king of Israel saw them, he said to Elisha, My father, shall I smite them? Shall I smite them?

vw@2Kings:6:23 @ So he prepared a great feast for them; and after they ate and drank, he sent them away and they went to their master. So the marauding bands from Syria came no more into the land of Israel.

vw@2Kings:6:24 @ And it happened after this that Ben-Hadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.

vw@2Kings:6:26 @ And as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king!

vw@2Kings:6:28 @ And the king said to her, What is troubling you? And she answered, This woman said to me, Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.

vw@2Kings:6:30 @ And it happened when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes; and as he passed by on the wall, the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth inside on his flesh.

vw@2Kings:6:31 @ Then he said, God do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat remains on him today.

vw@2Kings:6:32 @ And Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And the king sent a man before him, but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent someone to take away my head? Behold, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door. Is not the sound of his master’s feet behind him?

vw@2Kings:6:33 @ And while he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger was coming down to him; and he said, Behold, this evil is from Jehovah; why should I wait for Jehovah any longer?

vw@2Kings:7:1 @ Then Elisha said, Hear the Word of Jehovah. Thus says Jehovah: Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, at the gate of Samaria.

vw@2Kings:7:2 @ So an officer on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, Behold, if Jehovah would make windows in the heavens, could this thing be? And he said, Behold, you shall see it with your eyes, but you shall not eat of it.

vw@2Kings:7:4 @ If we say, We will enter the city, the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. And if we sit here, we are also dead. Now therefore, come, let us fall to the camp of the Syrians. If they keep us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall have died.

vw@2Kings:7:6 @ For Jehovah had caused the camp of the Syrians to hear the sound of chariots and the sound of horses, the sound of a great army; so they said to one another, Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to come upon us!

vw@2Kings:7:9 @ Then they said to one another, We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we are remaining silent. If we wait until morning light, some punishment will come upon us. Now therefore, come, let us go and tell the king’s household.

vw@2Kings:7:12 @ So the king arose in the night and said to his servants, Let me now tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry; therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.

vw@2Kings:7:13 @ And one of his servants answered and said, Please, let several men take five of the remaining horses which are left in the city. Behold, they may either become like all the multitude of Israel that are left in it; or behold, they may become like all the multitude of Israel left from those who are consumed; so let us send them and see.

vw@2Kings:7:18 @ So it happened just as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be sold tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria.

vw@2Kings:8:1 @ Then Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, Arise and go, you and your household, and stay wherever you can; for Jehovah has called for a famine, and furthermore, it will come upon the land for seven years.

vw@2Kings:8:2 @ So the woman arose and did according to the word of the man of God, and she went with her household and dwelt in the land of the Philistines seven years.

vw@2Kings:8:3 @ And it came to pass, at the end of seven years, that the woman returned from the land of the Philistines; and she went to cry out to the king for her house and for her land.

vw@2Kings:8:4 @ Now the king was speaking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Tell me, please, all the great things that Elisha has done.

vw@2Kings:8:5 @ And it happened, as he was telling the king how he had restored the dead to life, that behold, the woman whose son he had restored to life, was crying out to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son whom Elisha restored to life.

vw@2Kings:8:7 @ And Elisha came to Damascus, and Ben-Hadad king of Syria was sick; and it was reported to him, saying, The man of God has come here.

vw@2Kings:8:8 @ And the king said to Hazael, Take a present in your hand, and go to meet the man of God, and inquire of Jehovah by him, saying, Shall I remain alive of this disease?

vw@2Kings:8:9 @ So Hazael went to meet him and took a present with him, of every good thing of Damascus, forty camel-loads; and he came and stood before him, and said, Your son Ben-Hadad king of Syria has sent me to you, saying, Shall I remain alive of this disease?

vw@2Kings:8:10 @ And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, You shall live to remain alive. However Jehovah has shown me that he shall die the death.

vw@2Kings:8:11 @ Then he stood still and set his face until he was ashamed; and the man of God wept.

vw@2Kings:8:12 @ And Hazael said, Why is my lord weeping? He answered, Because I know the evil that you will do to the children of Israel: Their strongholds you will set on fire, and their young men you will kill with the sword; and you will dash their children, and rip open their women with child.

vw@2Kings:8:13 @ And Hazael said, But what is your servant; a dog, that he should do this great thing? And Elisha answered, Jehovah has shown me that you will become king over Syria.

vw@2Kings:8:14 @ And he departed from Elisha, and came to his master, who said to him, What did Elisha say to you? And he answered, He told me that you will live to remain alive.

vw@2Kings:8:15 @ But it happened on the next day that he took a thick cloth and dipped it in water, and spread it over his face so that he died; and Hazael reigned in his place.

vw@2Kings:8:16 @ Now in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoshaphat having been king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat began to reign as king of Judah.

vw@2Kings:8:18 @ And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for the daughter of Ahab was his wife; and he did evil in the eyes of Jehovah.

vw@2Kings:8:19 @ Yet Jehovah would not destroy Judah, for the sake of his servant David, as He had promised him to give a lamp to him and his sons all their days.

vw@2Kings:8:20 @ In his days Edom revolted against the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves.

vw@2Kings:8:21 @ So Joram passed over to Zair, and all his chariots with him. And he rose up by night and struck the Edomites who had surrounded him and the commanders of the chariots; and the people fled to their tents.

vw@2Kings:8:22 @ Thus Edom has been in revolt against the hand of Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.

vw@2Kings:8:24 @ So Joram rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. And Ahaziah his son reigned in his place.

vw@2Kings:8:25 @ In the twelfth year of Joram the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, began to reign.

vw@2Kings:8:26 @ Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri, king of Israel.

vw@2Kings:9:1 @ And Elisha the prophet summoned one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, Gird up your loins, take this flask of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead.

vw@2Kings:9:2 @ Now when you have come there, look for Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, and go in and make him rise up from among his brothers. And when you have brought him to an inner room,

vw@2Kings:9:3 @ take the flask of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus says Jehovah: I have anointed you king over Israel. And when you have opened the door and fled, do not delay.

vw@2Kings:9:6 @ And he arose and went into the house. And he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: I have anointed you king over the people of Jehovah, over Israel.

vw@2Kings:9:8 @ For the whole house of Ahab shall perish; and I shall cut off from Ahab all those who urinate against a wall in Israel, both bond and free.

vw@2Kings:9:11 @ Then Jehu came out to the servants of his master, and one of them said to him, Is all well? Why did this madman come to you? And he said to them, You know the man and his talk.

vw@2Kings:9:12 @ And they said, A lie! Tell us now. So he said, Thus and thus he has spoken to me, saying, Thus says Jehovah: I have anointed you king over Israel.

vw@2Kings:9:13 @ Then each man hastened to take his garment and put it under him on the top of the steps; and they blew the shofar, saying, Jehu is king!

vw@2Kings:9:14 @ So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had been defending Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, against Hazael king of Syria.

vw@2Kings:9:17 @ Now a watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he saw the company of Jehu as he came, and said, I see a multitude. And Joram said, Get a horseman and send him to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?

vw@2Kings:9:18 @ So the horseman went to meet him, and said, Thus says the king: Is it peace? And Jehu said, What have you to do with peace? Turn around and follow me. So the watchman reported, saying, The messenger went to them, but has not returned.

vw@2Kings:9:19 @ Then he sent out a second horseman who came to them, and said, Thus says the king: Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What have you to do with peace? Turn around and follow me.

vw@2Kings:9:20 @ So the watchman reported, saying, He went up to them and has not returned; and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives madly!

vw@2Kings:9:21 @ Then Joram said, Make ready. And his chariot was made ready. And Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him on the portion of Naboth the Jezreelite.

vw@2Kings:9:22 @ And it happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? So he answered, What peace, as long as the harlotries of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft are so many?

vw@2Kings:9:23 @ Then Joram turned his hands and fled, and said to Ahaziah, Treachery, O Ahaziah!

vw@2Kings:9:24 @ And Jehu drew his bow with full strength and shot Jehoram between his arms; and the arrow came out at his heart, and he sank down in his chariot.

vw@2Kings:9:25 @ Then Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, Pick him up, and throw him into the parcel of the land of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember, when you and I were riding together behind Ahab his father, that Jehovah had laid this burden upon him:

vw@2Kings:9:26 @ Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons, says Jehovah, and I will repay you in this plot, says Jehovah. Now therefore, take and throw him on the plot of ground, according to the Word of Jehovah.

vw@2Kings:9:27 @ And when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu pursued him, and said, Strike him also in the chariot, at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.

vw@2Kings:9:28 @ And his servants carried him in the chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in the City of David.

vw@2Kings:9:31 @ And as Jehu had entered at the gate, she said, Is it peace, Zimri, murderer of your master?

vw@2Kings:9:32 @ And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? Who? And two or three officials looked down at him.

vw@2Kings:9:34 @ And when he came in, he ate and drank. Then he said, Go now, see to this accursed woman, and bury her, for she was a king’s daughter.

vw@2Kings:9:36 @ Therefore they came back and reported to him. And he said, This is the Word of Jehovah, which He has spoken by His servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, On the plot of ground at Jezreel dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezebel;

vw@2Kings:9:37 @ and the corpse of Jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the land, in the plot at Jezreel, so that they shall not say, This is Jezebel.

vw@2Kings:10:3 @ choose the best and most upright of your master’s sons, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.

vw@2Kings:10:5 @ And he who was over the house, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those rearing the sons, sent to Jehu, saying, We are your servants, we will do all you tell us; but we will not make anyone king. Do what is good in your eyes.

vw@2Kings:10:6 @ Then he wrote a second letter to them, saying: If you are for me and will obey my voice, take the heads of the men, your master’s sons, and come to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow. Now the king’s sons, seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who were rearing them.

vw@2Kings:10:10 @ Know now that nothing has fallen to the earth of the Word of Jehovah which Jehovah has spoken concerning the house of Ahab; for Jehovah has done what He has spoken by the hand of His servant Elijah.

vw@2Kings:10:11 @ Thus Jehu killed all who remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men and his acquaintances and his priests, until he left him no one remaining.

vw@2Kings:10:15 @ And when he departed from there, he met Jehonadab the son of Rechab, coming to meet him; and he blessed him and said to him, Is your heart upright, as my heart is with your heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. Jehu said, If it is, give me your hand. So he gave him his hand, and he took him up to him into the chariot.

vw@2Kings:10:16 @ Then he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for Jehovah. So they made him ride in his chariot.

vw@2Kings:10:19 @ Now therefore, call to me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests. Let no one be missing, for I have a great sacrifice to Baal. Whoever is missing shall not live. But Jehu acted with cunning, in order to destroy those serving Baal.

vw@2Kings:10:21 @ Then Jehu sent throughout all Israel; and all those serving Baal came, so that there was not a man left who did not come. So they came into the house of Baal, and the house of Baal was full from one end to the other.

vw@2Kings:10:24 @ So they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed for himself eighty men outside, and had said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escapes, whoever lets him escape, it shall be his soul for the soul of the other.

vw@2Kings:10:27 @ Then they broke down the sacred pillar of Baal, and tore down the house of Baal and made it an outhouse to this day.

vw@2Kings:10:28 @ Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

vw@2Kings:10:29 @ However Jehu did not turn away from after the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin, that is, from the golden calves that were at Bethel and Daniel.

vw@2Kings:10:30 @ And Jehovah said to Jehu, Because you have done well in doing what is right in My eyes, and have done to the house of Ahab all that was in My heart, your sons shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.

vw@2Kings:10:31 @ But Jehu took no heed to walk in the Law of Jehovah the God of Israel with all his heart; for he did not depart from the sins of Jeroboam, who had made Israel sin.

vw@2Kings:17:8 @ and had walked in the statutes of the nations whom Jehovah had cast out before the children of Israel, and of the kings of Israel, which they had made.

vw@2Kings:17:19 @ Also Judah did not keep the commandments of Jehovah their God, but walked in the statutes of Israel which they had made.

vw@2Kings:17:20 @ And Jehovah rejected all the seed of Israel, afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand of plunderers, until He had cast them away from before His face.

vw@2Kings:17:21 @ For He tore Israel from the house of David, and they made Jeroboam the son of Nebat king. And Jeroboam drove Israel from following after Jehovah, and made them sin a great sin.

vw@2Kings:17:22 @ For the children of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which he did; they have not departed from them,

vw@2Kings:17:23 @ until Jehovah had removed Israel from before His face, as He had said by all His servants the prophets. Thus Israel was carried away from their own land into Assyria, as it is this day.

vw@2Kings:17:24 @ Then the king of Assyria brought people from Babylon, Cuthah, Ava, Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and settled them in the cities of Samaria instead of the children of Israel; and they took possession of Samaria and dwelt in its cities.

vw@2Kings:18:4 @ He removed the high places and broke the sacred pillars, chopped down the groves and broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made; for until those days the children of Israel burned incense to it, and called it Nehushtan.

vw@2Kings:18:5 @ He trusted in Jehovah the God of Israel, so that after him was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, nor who were before him.

vw@2Kings:18:6 @ For he clung to Jehovah; he did not turn aside from following after Him, but kept His commandments, which Jehovah had commanded Moses.

vw@2Kings:18:8 @ He struck the Philistines, as far as Gaza and its territory, from watchtower to fortified city.

vw@2Kings:18:9 @ And it came to pass in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea the son of Elah, king of Israel, that Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.

vw@2Kings:18:10 @ And at the end of three years they took it. In the sixth year of Hezekiah, that is, the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was captured.

vw@2Kings:18:11 @ And the king of Assyria carried Israel away captive to Assyria, and led them to Halah and the Habor, the River of Gozan, and to the cities of the Medes,

vw@2Kings:18:12 @ because they had not obeyed the voice of Jehovah their God, but transgressed His covenant and all that Moses the servant of Jehovah had commanded; they had neither heeded nor done them.

vw@2Kings:18:14 @ And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, I have done wrong; turn away from me; whatever you impose upon me I will endure. And the king of Assyria assessed Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

vw@2Kings:18:17 @ And the king of Assyria sent Tartan, Rabsaris, and Rabshakeh from Lachish, with great forces against Jerusalem, to King Hezekiah. And they went up and came to Jerusalem. And when they had come up, they went and stood by the aqueduct of the upper pool, which was on the highway to the Fuller’s Field.

vw@2Kings:18:19 @ And Rabshakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria: What confidence is this in which you have trusted?

vw@2Kings:18:21 @ Now behold, you have trusted in the staff of this broken reed, Egypt, on which if a man leans, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all those trusting in him.

vw@2Kings:18:22 @ But if you say to me, We have trusted in Jehovah our God, is it not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has removed, and has said to Judah and Jerusalem, You shall bow down before this altar in Jerusalem?

vw@2Kings:18:25 @ Have I now come up without Jehovah against this place to destroy it? Jehovah has said to me, Go up against this land, and destroy it.

vw@2Kings:18:26 @ Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, Shebna, and Joah said to Rabshakeh, Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it; and do not speak to us in the Jewish language in the hearing of the people on the wall.

vw@2Kings:18:28 @ Then Rabshakeh stood and called out with a loud voice in the Jewish language, and spoke, saying, Hear the word of the great king, the king of Assyria!

vw@2Kings:18:29 @ Thus says the king: Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he shall not be able to deliver you out of his hand;

vw@2Kings:18:30 @ nor let Hezekiah make you trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will rescue to deliver us; this city shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

vw@2Kings:18:31 @ Do not listen to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria: Make a peace treaty and come out to me; and every one of you shall eat from his own vine and every one from his own fig tree, and every one of you shall drink the waters of his own cistern;

vw@2Kings:18:32 @ until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive groves and honey, that you may live and not die. But do not listen to Hezekiah, lest he persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us.

vw@2Kings:19:1 @ And so it was, when King Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.

vw@2Kings:19:2 @ And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests, covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.

vw@2Kings:19:3 @ And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah: This day is a day of trouble, and rebuke, and contempt; for the children have come to birth, but there is no strength to bring forth.

vw@2Kings:19:4 @ It may be that Jehovah your God will hear all the words of Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to reproach the living God, and will rebuke the words which Jehovah your God has heard. Therefore lift up your prayer for the remnant that is found left.

vw@2Kings:19:5 @ So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

vw@2Kings:19:6 @ And Isaiah said to them, Thus you shall say to your master, Thus says Jehovah: Do not be afraid of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.

vw@2Kings:19:7 @ Behold, I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

vw@2Kings:19:8 @ And Rabshakeh returned and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah, for he heard that he had departed from Lachish.

vw@2Kings:19:13 @ Where is the king of Hamath, the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?

vw@2Kings:19:15 @ And Hezekiah prayed before Jehovah, and said: O Jehovah the God of Israel, the One who dwells between the cherubim, You are God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made the heavens and earth.

vw@2Kings:19:19 @ Now therefore, O Jehovah our God, I pray, save us out of his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are Jehovah God, You alone.

vw@2Kings:19:20 @ Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: I have heard that which you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria.

vw@2Kings:19:21 @ This is the word which Jehovah has spoken concerning him: The virgin daughter of Zion has despised you and laughed you to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem Has shaken her head behind you!

vw@2Kings:19:22 @ Whom have you reproached and blasphemed? Against whom have you raised your voice, and lifted up your eyes on high? Against the Holy One of Israel!

vw@2Kings:19:26 @ Therefore their inhabitants were short handed; they were shattered and put to shame; they were as the grass of the field and the green herb, as the grass on the housetops and grain blighted before it is grown.

vw@2Kings:19:29 @ This shall be a sign to you: You shall eat this year such as grows of itself, and in the second year what springs from the same; also in the third year sow and reap, plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.

vw@2Kings:19:31 @ For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, and those who escape from Mount Zion. The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts shall do this.

vw@2Kings:19:32 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah concerning the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor build a siege mound against it.

vw@2Kings:19:33 @ By the way that he came, by the same shall he return; and he shall not come into this city, says Jehovah.

vw@2Kings:19:34 @ For I have defended this city, to save it for My own sake and for My servant David’s sake.

vw@2Kings:19:37 @ Now it came to pass, as he was bowing down in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer struck him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Ararat. And Esarhaddon his son reigned in his place.

vw@2Kings:20:1 @ In those days Hezekiah had become sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him and said to him, Thus says Jehovah: Set your house in order, for you are dying, and shall not live.

vw@2Kings:20:2 @ And he turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to Jehovah, saying,

vw@2Kings:20:4 @ And it happened, before Isaiah had gone out into the middle court, that the Word of Jehovah came to him, saying,

vw@2Kings:20:6 @ And I will add to your days fifteen years. I will deliver you and this city from the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for My own sake, and for the sake of My servant David.

vw@2Kings:20:7 @ And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. So they took and laid it on the boil, and he lived.

vw@2Kings:20:8 @ And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What is the sign that Jehovah will heal me, and that I shall go up to the house of Jehovah the third day?

vw@2Kings:20:9 @ And Isaiah said, This is the sign to you from Jehovah, that Jehovah will do the thing which He has spoken: shall the shadow go forward ten steps or go backward ten steps?

vw@2Kings:20:10 @ And Hezekiah answered, It is an easy thing for the shadow to go down ten steps; no, but let the shadow go backward ten steps.

vw@2Kings:20:11 @ So Isaiah the prophet cried out to Jehovah, and He brought the shadow ten steps backward, by which it had gone down on the sundial of Ahaz.

vw@2Kings:20:13 @ And Hezekiah was attentive to them, and showed them all the house of his treasures; the silver and gold, the spices and precious ointment, and all the house of his weapons; all that was found among his treasures. There was nothing in his house or in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.

vw@2Kings:20:14 @ Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say, and from where did they come to you? So Hezekiah said, They came from a distant land, from Babylon.

vw@2Kings:20:15 @ And he said, What have they seen in your house? So Hezekiah answered, They have seen all that is in my house; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.

vw@2Kings:20:16 @ Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the Word of Jehovah:

vw@2Kings:20:17 @ Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and what your fathers have laid in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon; nothing shall be left, says Jehovah.

vw@2Kings:20:19 @ And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The Word of Jehovah which you have spoken is good! For he thought, Will there not be peace and truth in my days?

vw@2Kings:20:20 @ Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah; all his might, and how he made a pool and a tunnel and brought water into the city; are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah.

vw@2Kings:20:21 @ So Hezekiah rested with his fathers. And Manasseh his son reigned in his place.

vw@2Kings:21:1 @ Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Hephzibah.

vw@2Kings:21:2 @ And he did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, according to the abominations of the nations whom Jehovah had cast out before the children of Israel.

vw@2Kings:21:3 @ For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had destroyed; he raised up altars for Baal, and made a grove, as Ahab king of Israel had done; and he bowed down to all the host of the heavens and served them.

vw@2Kings:21:6 @ He also made his son pass through the fire, practiced witchcraft and fortunetelling, and consulted necromancers and mediums. He did much evil in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke Him to anger.

vw@2Kings:21:7 @ And he set a graven image in the grove that he had made, in the house of which Jehovah had 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, I will put My name forever;

vw@2Kings:21:8 @ and I will not make the feet of Israel wander anymore from the land which I have given to their fathers; only if they take heed to do according to all that I have commanded them, and according to all the Law that My servant Moses has commanded them.

vw@2Kings:21:9 @ But they have paid no attention, and Manasseh caused them to err, to do more evil than the nations whom Jehovah had destroyed before the children of Israel.

vw@2Kings:21:10 @ And Jehovah spoke by His servants the prophets, saying,

vw@2Kings:21:11 @ Because Manasseh king of Judah has done these abominations (he has acted more wickedly than all the Amorites who were before him, and has also made Judah sin with his idols),

vw@2Kings:21:12 @ therefore thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: Behold, I am bringing such evil upon Jerusalem and Judah, that whoever hears of it, both his ears shall tingle.

vw@2Kings:21:13 @ And I shall stretch over Jerusalem the measuring line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab; I shall wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it face down.

vw@2Kings:21:15 @ because they have done evil in My eyes, and have provoked Me to anger since the day their fathers had come out of Egypt, even to this day.

vw@2Kings:21:16 @ Moreover Manasseh shed very much innocent blood, till he had filled Jerusalem from one end to the other, besides his sin by which he made Judah sin, to do evil in the eyes of Jehovah.

vw@2Kings:21:18 @ So Manasseh rested with his fathers, and was buried in the garden of his own house, in the garden of Uzza. And his son Amon reigned in his place.

vw@2Kings:21:19 @ Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Meshullemeth the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

vw@2Kings:21:20 @ And he did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, as his father Manasseh had done.

vw@2Kings:21:21 @ Thus he walked in all the ways that his father had walked; and he served the idols that his father had served, and bowed down to them.

vw@2Kings:21:22 @ He forsook Jehovah the God of his fathers, and did not walk in the way of Jehovah.

vw@2Kings:21:23 @ Then the servants of Amon conspired against him, and killed the king in his own house.

vw@2Kings:21:24 @ But the people of the land struck all those conspiring against King Amon. And the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his place.

vw@2Kings:22:2 @ And he did what was right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walked in all the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

vw@2Kings:22:11 @ And it happened, when the king heard the Words of the Book of the Law, that he tore his clothes.

vw@2Kings:22:13 @ Go, inquire of Jehovah for me, for the people and for all Judah, concerning the words of this book that has been found; for great is the wrath of Jehovah that has been kindled against us, because our fathers have not obeyed the words of this book, to do according to all that is written concerning us.

vw@2Kings:22:15 @ And she said to them, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, Tell the man who has sent you to Me,

vw@2Kings:22:16 @ Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I am bringing evil upon this place and upon its inhabitants; all the Words of the Book which the king of Judah has read;

vw@2Kings:22:17 @ because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, that they might provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. Therefore My wrath has been kindled against this place, and shall not be quenched.

vw@2Kings:22:18 @ But as for the king of Judah who sent you to inquire of Jehovah, thus you shall say to him, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: Concerning the words which you have heard;

vw@2Kings:22:19 @ because your heart was tender, and you humbled yourself before Jehovah when you heard what I have spoken against this place and against its inhabitants, that they would become a desolation and a curse, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you, says Jehovah.

vw@2Kings:22:20 @ Behold therefore, I will gather you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the evil that I am bringing upon this place. So they brought back word to the king.

vw@2Kings:23:15 @ Moreover the altar that was at Bethel, and the high place which Jeroboam the son of Nebat had made, by which he had made Israel to sin, both that altar and the high place he tore down; and he burned the high place and pulverized it to dust, and burned the grove.

vw@2Kings:23:17 @ Then he said, What monument is this that I see? And the men of the city said to him, It is the tomb of the man of God who came from Judah and proclaimed these things which you have done against the altar of Bethel.

vw@2Kings:23:18 @ And he said, Let him alone; let no one disturb his bones. So they let his bones alone, with the bones of the prophet that had come from Samaria.

vw@2Kings:23:25 @ And before him there was no king like him, who turned to Jehovah with all his heart, with all his soul, and with all his might, according to all the Law of Moses; nor after him has any arisen like him.

vw@2Kings:23:26 @ Nevertheless Jehovah had not turned from His great burning wrath, with which His anger had been kindled against Judah, because of all the provocations with which Manasseh had provoked Him.

vw@2Kings:23:27 @ And Jehovah said, I will also remove Judah from before My face, as I have removed Israel, and will cast off this city Jerusalem which I have chosen, and the house of which I had said, My name shall be there.

vw@1Chronicles:8:39 @ And the sons of Eshek his brother: Ulam his firstborn, Jeush the second, and Eliphelet the third.

vw@1Chronicles:9:1 @ Thus all Israel was reckoned by genealogies, and behold, they were written in the book of the kings of Israel. And Judah was carried away captive to Babylon because of their unfaithfulness.

vw@1Chronicles:9:2 @ Now the first inhabitants who dwelt in their possessions in their cities were Israelites, priests, Levites, and the temple slaves.

vw@1Chronicles:9:5 @ Of the Shilonites: Asaiah the firstborn and his sons.

vw@1Chronicles:9:19 @ Shallum the son of Kore, the son of Ebiasaph, the son of Korah, and his brethren, from his father’s house, the Korahites, were in charge of the work of the service, gatekeepers of the tent. Their fathers had been keepers at the entrance to the camp of Jehovah.

vw@1Chronicles:9:26 @ In this trust were four chief gatekeepers; Levites. And they had charge over the chambers and treasuries of the house of God.

vw@1Chronicles:9:29 @ Some of them were appointed over the furnishings and over all the implements of the sanctuary, and over the fine flour and the wine and the oil and the frankincense and the spices.

vw@1Chronicles:9:33 @ These were the singers, heads of fathers of the Levites, who stayed in the chambers, and were free from other duties; for this was their occupation day and night.

vw@1Chronicles:9:36 @ His firstborn son: Abdon; then Zur, Kish, Baal, Ner, Nadab,

vw@1Chronicles:9:39 @ Ner begot Kish, Kish begot Saul, and Saul begot Jonathan, Malchishua, Abinadab, and Eshbaal.

vw@1Chronicles:9:44 @ And Azel had six sons whose names were these: Azrikam, Bocheru, Ishmael, Sheariah, Obadiah, and Hanan; these, the sons of Azel.

vw@1Chronicles:10:1 @ Now the Philistines fought against Israel; and the men of Israel fled before the Philistines, and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.

vw@1Chronicles:10:2 @ And the Philistines followed hard after Saul and his sons. And the Philistines killed Jonathan, Abinadab, and Malchishua, Saul’s sons.

vw@1Chronicles:10:4 @ And Saul said to his armorbearer, Draw your sword, and thrust me through with it, lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armorbearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. So Saul took a sword and fell on it.

vw@1Chronicles:10:5 @ And when his armorbearer saw that Saul had died, he also fell on his sword and died.

vw@1Chronicles:10:6 @ Thus Saul and his three sons died, and all his house died together.

vw@1Chronicles:10:7 @ And when all the men of Israel who were in the valley saw that they had fled and that Saul and his sons had died, they forsook their cities and fled; and the Philistines came and dwelt in them.

vw@1Chronicles:10:8 @ So it happened the next day, when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

vw@1Chronicles:10:9 @ And they stripped him and took his head and his weapons, and sent throughout the land of the Philistines to proclaim the news to their idols and among the people.

vw@1Chronicles:10:10 @ And they put his weapons in the house of their gods, and fastened his head in the house of Dagon.

vw@1Chronicles:10:11 @ And when all Jabesh Gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul,

vw@1Chronicles:10:12 @ all the valiant men arose and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons; and they brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the tamarisk tree at Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

vw@1Chronicles:10:13 @ Thus Saul died for his unfaithfulness which he had transgressed against Jehovah, because he had not kept the Word of Jehovah, and because he asked counsel to seek after a medium.

vw@1Chronicles:11:1 @ And all Israel gathered to David at Hebron, saying, Behold we are your bone and your flesh.

vw@1Chronicles:11:2 @ Also, in time past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led Israel out and brought them in; and Jehovah your God said to you, You shall shepherd My people Israel, and be ruler over My people Israel.

vw@1Chronicles:11:3 @ Therefore all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them at Hebron before Jehovah. And they anointed David king over Israel, according to the Word of Jehovah by the hand of Samuel.

vw@1Chronicles:11:4 @ And David and all Israel went to Jerusalem, which is Jebus, where the Jebusites were, the inhabitants of the land.

vw@1Chronicles:11:10 @ These were the heads of the mighty men with David, who strengthened themselves with him in his kingdom, with all Israel, to make him king, according to the Word of Jehovah concerning Israel.

vw@1Chronicles:11:11 @ This is the number of David’s mighty men: Jashobeam the son of a Hachmonite, chief of the thirty; he had lifted up his spear against three hundred, killed at one time.

vw@1Chronicles:11:13 @ He was with David at Pasdammim. Now the Philistines had gathered there for battle, and there was a parcel of land full of barley; and the people had fled before the Philistines.

vw@1Chronicles:11:14 @ But they took their stand in the middle of that field, recovered it, and killed the Philistines. And Jehovah saved by a great deliverance.

vw@1Chronicles:11:15 @ And three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines was encamped in the Valley of Rephaim.

vw@1Chronicles:11:16 @ David was then in the stronghold, and the garrison of the Philistines was then in Bethlehem.

vw@1Chronicles:11:17 @ And David said longingly, Oh, that someone would give me a drink of water from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate.

vw@1Chronicles:11:18 @ So the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, drew water from the well of Bethlehem by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. But David would not drink it, but poured it out to Jehovah,

vw@1Chronicles:11:19 @ and said, Far be it from me, O my God, to do this. Shall I drink the blood of these men with their souls? For at the risk of their lives they have brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things were done by the three mighty men.

vw@1Chronicles:11:20 @ Abishai the brother of Joab was chief of another three. He had lifted up his spear against three hundred men, killed them, and had a name among the three.

vw@1Chronicles:11:23 @ And he killed an Egyptian, a man five cubits in stature. In the Egyptian’s hand was a spear like a weaver’s beam; and he went down to him with a staff, wrested the spear out of the Egyptian’s hand, and killed him with his own spear.

vw@1Chronicles:11:25 @ Behold, he was honored among the thirty, but he did not attain to the first three. And David appointed him over his guard.

vw@1Chronicles:11:45 @ Jediael the son of Shimri, and Joha his brother, the Tizite,

vw@1Chronicles:12:1 @ Now these were the ones who came to David at Ziklag while he was still restrained from before Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men, helping in the war,

vw@1Chronicles:12:4 @ Ishmaiah the Gibeonite, a mighty man among the thirty, and over the thirty; Jeremiah, Jahaziel, Johanan, and Jozabad the Gederathite;

vw@1Chronicles:12:6 @ Elkanah, Jisshiah, Azarel, Joezer, and Jashobeam, the Korahites;

vw@1Chronicles:12:10 @ Mishmannah the fourth, Jeremiah the fifth,

vw@1Chronicles:12:17 @ And David went out to meet them, and answered and said to them, If you have come peaceably to me to help me, my heart will be united with you; but if to betray me to my enemies, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers see it and judge.

vw@1Chronicles:12:19 @ Some from Manasseh had fallen out to David when he was going with the Philistines to battle against Saul; but they did not help them, for the lords of the Philistines sent him away after taking counsel, saying, He may fall out to his master Saul with our heads.

vw@1Chronicles:12:23 @ These were the numbers of the divisions that were equipped for war, who had come to David at Hebron to turn over the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the mouth of Jehovah:

vw@1Chronicles:12:28 @ Zadok, a young man mighty in valor, and from his father’s house twenty-two commanders;

vw@1Chronicles:12:32 @ of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their brethren were at their command;

vw@1Chronicles:12:38 @ All these men of war, who could keep ranks, came to Hebron with a perfect heart, to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest of Israel were of one heart to make David king.

vw@1Chronicles:12:40 @ Moreover those who were near to them, from as far away as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, were bringing food on donkeys and camels, on mules and oxen; provisions of flour and cakes of figs and cakes of raisins, wine and oil and oxen and sheep abundantly, for there was joy in Israel.

vw@1Chronicles:13:2 @ And David said to all the assembly of Israel, If it seems good to you, and it is of Jehovah our God, let us send out and broadcast to our brethren everywhere who are left in all the land of Israel, and to the priests and Levites who are with them in their cities and their common lands, that they may gather together to us;

vw@1Chronicles:13:5 @ So David gathered all Israel together, from Shihor of Egypt to the entrance of Hamath, to bring the ark of God from Kirjath Jearim.

vw@1Chronicles:13:6 @ And David and all Israel went up to Baalah, to Kirjath Jearim of Judah, to bring up from there the ark of Jehovah God, who dwells between the cherubim, where His name has been proclaimed.

vw@1Chronicles:13:8 @ And David and all Israel were making sport before God with all their might, with singing, with harps, with lutes, with tambourines, with cymbals, and with trumpets.

vw@1Chronicles:13:9 @ And when they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to take hold of the ark, for the oxen had fallen.

vw@1Chronicles:13:10 @ And the anger of Jehovah burned against Uzza, and He struck him because he had put his hand on the ark; and he died there before God.

vw@1Chronicles:13:11 @ And David was furious because Jehovah had violently burst forth upon Uzza; therefore that place is called Perez Uzza to this day.

vw@1Chronicles:13:14 @ And the ark of God remained with the household of Obed-Edom in his house three months. And Jehovah blessed the house of Obed-Edom and all that he had.

vw@1Chronicles:14:2 @ Thus David perceived that Jehovah had established him as king over Israel, for his kingdom had been exalted on high for the sake of His people Israel.

vw@1Chronicles:14:4 @ And these are the names of his sons whom he had in Jerusalem: Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

vw@1Chronicles:14:5 @ Ibhar, Elishua, Elpelet,

vw@1Chronicles:14:7 @ Elishama, Beeliada, and Eliphelet.

vw@1Chronicles:14:8 @ Now when the Philistines heard that David had been anointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to seek David. And David heard of it and went out to face them.

vw@1Chronicles:14:9 @ And the Philistines went and made a raid on the Valley of Rephaim.

vw@1Chronicles:14:10 @ And David inquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? Have You delivered them into my hand? And Jehovah said to him, Go up, for I have delivered them into your hand.

vw@1Chronicles:14:13 @ The Philistines again made a raid on the valley.

vw@1Chronicles:14:15 @ And it shall be, when you hear a sound of marching in the tops of the balsam trees, then you shall go out to battle, for God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines.

vw@1Chronicles:14:16 @ So David did as God had commanded him, and they struck the camp of the Philistines from Gibeon as far as Gezer.

vw@1Chronicles:15:3 @ And David gathered all Israel together at Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of Jehovah to its place, which he had prepared for it.

vw@1Chronicles:15:5 @ of the sons of Kohath, Uriel the chief, and one hundred and twenty of his brethren;

vw@1Chronicles:15:6 @ of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and two hundred and twenty of his brethren;

vw@1Chronicles:15:9 @ of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the chief, and eighty of his brethren;

vw@1Chronicles:15:10 @ of the sons of Uzziel, Amminadab the chief, and one hundred and twelve of his brethren.

vw@1Chronicles:15:12 @ and he said to them, You are the heads of the fathers of the Levites; consecrate yourselves, you and your brethren, that you may bring up the ark of Jehovah the God of Israel to the place I have prepared for it.

vw@1Chronicles:15:14 @ So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@1Chronicles:15:16 @ And David commanded the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their brethren as singers with instruments of song, lutes, harps, and resounding cymbals, to raise the voice with joy.

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

vw@1Chronicles:15:25 @ Thus David, the elders of Israel, and the commanders over thousands went to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah from the house of Obed-Edom with joy.

vw@1Chronicles:15:28 @ Thus all Israel brought up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah with shouting and with the sound of the shofar, with trumpets and with cymbals, sounding aloud with lutes and harps.

vw@1Chronicles:15:29 @ And it happened, as the ark of the covenant of Jehovah came to the City of David, that Michal, Saul’s daughter, looked through a window and saw King David whirling and playing; and she despised him in her heart.

vw@1Chronicles:16:2 @ And when David had finished offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah.

vw@1Chronicles:16:3 @ And he distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins.

vw@1Chronicles:16:4 @ And he appointed some of the Levites to minister before the ark of Jehovah, to commemorate, to thank, and to praise Jehovah the God of Israel:

vw@1Chronicles:16:7 @ On that day David first gave this psalm by the hand of Asaph and his brethren, to give thanks unto Jehovah:

vw@1Chronicles:16:8 @ Oh, give thanks unto Jehovah. Call upon His name; make known His deeds among the peoples.

vw@1Chronicles:16:9 @ Sing unto Him, make music unto Him; talk of all His wondrous works.

vw@1Chronicles:16:10 @ Glory in His holy name; let the hearts of those seeking Jehovah rejoice.

vw@1Chronicles:16:11 @ Seek Jehovah and His strength; seek His face continually.

vw@1Chronicles:16:12 @ Remember His marvelous works which He has done, His wonders, and the judgments of His mouth,

vw@1Chronicles:16:13 @ O seed of Israel His servant, You children of Jacob, His elect.

vw@1Chronicles:16:14 @ He is Jehovah our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

vw@1Chronicles:16:15 @ Remember His covenant forever, the word which He has commanded, for a thousand generations,

vw@1Chronicles:16:16 @ the covenant which He has made with Abraham, and His oath unto Isaac,

vw@1Chronicles:16:17 @ and established it to Jacob for a statute, to Israel for a perpetual covenant,

vw@1Chronicles:16:23 @ Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth; proclaim His salvation from day to day.

vw@1Chronicles:16:24 @ Declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.

vw@1Chronicles:16:25 @ For Jehovah is great and greatly to be praised; He is also to be feared above all gods.

vw@1Chronicles:16:27 @ Honor and majesty are before Him; strength and gladness are in His place.

vw@1Chronicles:16:29 @ Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due His name; bring an offering, and come before Him. Oh, bow down before Jehovah in the beauty of holiness.

vw@1Chronicles:16:30 @ Writhe before Him, all the earth. The world also is firmly established, it shall not be moved.

vw@1Chronicles:16:32 @ Let the sea roar, and all its fullness; let the fields rejoice, and all that is in them.

vw@1Chronicles:16:34 @ Oh, give thanks unto Jehovah, for He is good; for His mercy is eternal.

vw@1Chronicles:16:35 @ And say, Save us, O God of our salvation; gather us together, and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to Your holy name, to boast in Your praise.

vw@1Chronicles:16:36 @ Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel from everlasting to everlasting. And all the people said, Amen; and praised Jehovah.

vw@1Chronicles:16:37 @ Thus he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to minister before the ark continually, according to the matter day by day;

vw@1Chronicles:16:38 @ and Obed-Edom with his sixty-eight brethren: Obed-Edom the son of Jeduthun and Hosah, the gatekeepers;

vw@1Chronicles:16:39 @ and Zadok the priest and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah at the high place that was at Gibeon,

vw@1Chronicles:16:40 @ to offer burnt offerings unto Jehovah on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the Law of Jehovah which He had commanded Israel;

vw@1Chronicles:16:41 @ and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks unto Jehovah, because His mercy is eternal;

vw@1Chronicles:16:43 @ So all the people departed, every man to his house; and David returned to bless his house.

vw@1Chronicles:17:1 @ Now it came to pass, when David had been dwelling in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Behold now, I am dwelling in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of Jehovah is under curtains.

vw@1Chronicles:17:2 @ And Nathan said to David, Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.

vw@1Chronicles:17:5 @ For I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel, even to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

vw@1Chronicles:17:6 @ Wherever I have walked about with all Israel, have I spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I had commanded to shepherd My people, saying, Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?

vw@1Chronicles:17:7 @ Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, Thus says Jehovah of Hosts: I have taken you from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people Israel.

vw@1Chronicles:17:9 @ Moreover I have established a place for My people Israel, and have planted them, that they may dwell in their place and move no more, for the sons of wickedness to wear them out anymore, as previously,

vw@1Chronicles:17:10 @ since the day that I have commanded judges to be over My people Israel. I have also subdued all your enemies. Furthermore I declare to you that Jehovah shall build you a house.

vw@1Chronicles:17:11 @ And it shall be, when your days have been fulfilled to go to your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you from your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

vw@1Chronicles:17:12 @ He shall build Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

vw@1Chronicles:17:13 @ I will be his Father, and he shall be My son; and I will not take My mercy away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.

vw@1Chronicles:17:14 @ And I will establish him in My house and in My kingdom forever; and his throne shall be established forever.

vw@1Chronicles:17:15 @ According to all these words and according to all this vision, thus Nathan spoke to David.

vw@1Chronicles:17:16 @ Then King David went in and sat before Jehovah, and he said: Who am I, O Jehovah God? And what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

vw@1Chronicles:17:17 @ And yet this was a small thing in Your eyes, O God; and You have also spoken of Your servant’s house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the manner of a man of high degree, O Jehovah God.

vw@1Chronicles:17:19 @ O Jehovah, for Your servant’s sake, and according to Your own heart, You have done all this greatness, to make known all this greatness.

vw@1Chronicles:17:20 @ O Jehovah, there is none like You, nor is there any God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

vw@1Chronicles:17:21 @ And what single nation on the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God has gone to redeem for Himself as a people; to make for Yourself a great name to be feared, to drive out nations before Your people whom You redeemed out of Egypt?

vw@1Chronicles:17:22 @ For You designated Your people Israel as Your people forever; and You, Jehovah, have become their God.

vw@1Chronicles:17:23 @ And now, O Jehovah, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant and concerning his house, let it be established forever, and do as You have spoken.

vw@1Chronicles:17:24 @ Let it even be established, that Your name may be magnified forever, saying, Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, God to Israel. And let the house of Your servant David be established before You.

vw@1Chronicles:17:25 @ For You, O my God, have disclosed to Your servant’s ear that You will build him a house. Therefore Your servant has found heart to pray before You.

vw@1Chronicles:17:26 @ And now, Jehovah, You are God, and have promised this goodness to Your servant.

vw@1Chronicles:17:27 @ Now You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, that it may be before You forever; for You have blessed it, O Jehovah, and it is blessed forever.

vw@1Chronicles:18:1 @ After this it came to pass that David struck the Philistines, subdued them, and took Gath and its daughter-villages from the hand of the Philistines.

vw@1Chronicles:18:3 @ And David struck Hadadezer king of Zobah as far as Hamath, as he went to establish his hand by the River Euphrates.

vw@1Chronicles:18:6 @ Then David put garrisons in Syria of Damascus; and the Syrians became David’s servants, and brought tribute. Thus Jehovah prospered David wherever he went.

vw@1Chronicles:18:10 @ he sent Hadoram his son to King David, to ask after his welfare and to bless him, because he had fought against Hadadezer and struck him (for Hadadezer had been a man of war against Tou); along with all kinds of articles of gold, silver, and bronze.

vw@1Chronicles:18:11 @ King David also consecrated these unto Jehovah, along with the silver and gold that he had brought from all these nations: Edom, Moab, the children of Ammon, the Philistines, and Amalek.

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

vw@1Chronicles:18:13 @ He also put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became David’s servants. And Jehovah prospered David wherever he went.

vw@1Chronicles:18:14 @ Thus David reigned over all Israel, executing judgment and justice to all his people.

vw@1Chronicles:19:1 @ It happened after this that Nahash the king of the children of Ammon died, and his son reigned in his place.

vw@1Chronicles:19:2 @ And David said, I will show kindness to 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 to Hanun in the land of the children of Ammon to comfort him.

vw@1Chronicles:19:3 @ And the leaders of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, In your eyes is David honoring your father in that he has sent comforters to you? Have not his servants come to you to search, to overthrow and to spy out the land?

vw@1Chronicles:19:7 @ So they hired for themselves thirty-two thousand chariots, with the king of Maachah and his people, who came and encamped before Medeba. Also the sons of Ammon gathered together from their cities, and came to battle.

vw@1Chronicles:19:10 @ And when Joab saw that the battle line was against him before and behind, he chose some of Israel’s choice ones and put them in battle array to meet the Syrians.

vw@1Chronicles:19:11 @ And the rest of the people he put into the hand of Abishai his brother, and they set themselves in battle array against the sons of Ammon.

vw@1Chronicles:19:13 @ Be of good courage, and let us be strong for our people and for the cities of our God; and may Jehovah do what is good in His eyes.

vw@1Chronicles:19:15 @ And when the sons of Ammon saw that the Syrians had fled, they also fled before Abishai his brother, and entered the city. So Joab came to Jerusalem.

vw@1Chronicles:19:16 @ So when the Syrians saw that they had been struck down before Israel, they sent messengers and brought the Syrians who were beyond the River, and Shophach the commander of Hadadezer’s army went before them.

vw@1Chronicles:19:17 @ And when it was reported to David, he gathered all Israel, crossed over the Jordan and came upon them, and set up in battle array against them. So when David had set up in battle array against the Syrians, they fought with him.

vw@1Chronicles:19:18 @ And the Syrians fled before Israel; and David killed seven thousand charioteers and forty thousand foot soldiers of the Syrians, and killed Shophach the commander of the army.

vw@1Chronicles:19:19 @ And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they had been struck down before Israel, they made peace with David and served him. So the Syrians were not willing to help the sons of Ammon anymore.

vw@1Chronicles:20:2 @ And David took their king’s crown from his head, and found it to weigh a talent of gold, and there were precious stones in it. And it was set on David’s head. Also he brought out the spoils of the city; a very great amount.

vw@1Chronicles:20:4 @ And it happened afterward that war rose up at Gezer with the Philistines, at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite killed Sippai, who was born to the giant. And they were subdued.

vw@1Chronicles:20:5 @ Again there was war with the Philistines, and Elhanan the son of Jair killed Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam.

vw@1Chronicles:20:7 @ So when he reproached Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David’s brother, killed him.

vw@1Chronicles:20:8 @ These were born to the giant in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants.

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

vw@1Chronicles:21:2 @ And David said to Joab and to the rulers of the people, Go, number Israel from Beer-sheba to Dan, and bring the number of them to me that I may know it.

vw@1Chronicles:21:3 @ And Joab answered, May Jehovah make His people a hundred times more than they are. But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord’s servants? Why then does my lord desire this thing? Why should he be a cause of guilt to Israel?

vw@1Chronicles:21:4 @ Nevertheless the king’s word prevailed against Joab. Therefore Joab departed and went throughout all Israel and came to Jerusalem.

vw@1Chronicles:21:5 @ And Joab gave the sum of the number of the people to David. All Israel had one million one hundred thousand men who drew the sword, and Judah had four hundred and seventy thousand men who drew the sword.

vw@1Chronicles:21:7 @ And this thing caused the eye of God to quiver; therefore He struck Israel.

vw@1Chronicles:21:8 @ So David said to God, I have sinned greatly, because I have done this thing; but now, I pray, take away the iniquity of Your servant, for I have done very foolishly.

vw@1Chronicles:21:12 @ either three years of famine, or three months of being defeated before your foes with the sword of your enemies overtaking you, or else for three days the sword of Jehovah; the plague in the land, with the Angel of Jehovah destroying throughout all the territory of Israel. Now consider what word I shall return to the One sending me.

vw@1Chronicles:21:13 @ And David said to Gad, I am in great distress. Please let me fall into the hand of Jehovah, for His mercies are very great; but do not let me fall into the hand of man.

vw@1Chronicles:21:14 @ So Jehovah sent a plague upon Israel, and seventy thousand men of Israel fell.

vw@1Chronicles:21:15 @ And God sent the Angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was destroying, Jehovah looked and was moved to compassion regarding the evil, and said to the Angel who was destroying, It is enough; now restrain Your hand. And the Angel of Jehovah stood by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

vw@1Chronicles:21:16 @ And David lifted his eyes and saw the Angel of Jehovah standing between earth and the heavens, having in his hand a drawn sword stretched out over Jerusalem. And David and the elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.

vw@1Chronicles:21:20 @ And Ornan turned and saw the Angel; and his four sons who were with him hid themselves. Now Ornan had been threshing wheat.

vw@1Chronicles:21:21 @ And David came to Ornan, and Ornan looked and saw David. And he went out from the threshing floor, and bowed to David with his face to the ground.

vw@1Chronicles:21:22 @ And David said to Ornan, Give me the place of this threshing floor, that I may build an altar on it unto Jehovah. You shall give it to me for the full price, that the plague may be restrained from the people.

vw@1Chronicles:21:23 @ And Ornan said to David, Take it to yourself, and let my lord the king do what is good in his eyes. See, I have also given you the oxen for burnt offerings, the threshing implements for wood, and the wheat for the grain offering; I have given it all.

vw@1Chronicles:21:24 @ And King David said to Ornan, No, but I will buy to acquire it for the full price, for I will not take away what is yours for Jehovah, nor offer burnt offerings without cost.

vw@1Chronicles:21:27 @ And Jehovah commanded the Angel, and He returned His sword to its sheath.

vw@1Chronicles:22:1 @ Then David said, This is the house of Jehovah God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel.

vw@1Chronicles:22:2 @ And David commanded to gather the sojourners in the land of Israel; and he appointed masons to cut hewn stones to build the house of God.

vw@1Chronicles:22:5 @ And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house to be built for Jehovah must be exceedingly magnificent, for fame and glory throughout all lands. I will now make preparation for it. So David made abundant preparations before his death.

vw@1Chronicles:22:6 @ And he summoned his son Solomon, and charged him to build a house for Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@1Chronicles:22:9 @ Behold, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies all around. His name shall be Solomon, for I will give peace and tranquillity to Israel in his days.

vw@1Chronicles:22:10 @ He shall build a house for My name, and he shall be My son, and I will be his Father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.

vw@1Chronicles:22:12 @ Only may Jehovah give you wisdom and understanding, and give you charge concerning Israel, to keep the Law of Jehovah your God.

vw@1Chronicles:22:13 @ Then you will prosper, if you take care to fulfill the statutes and judgments which Jehovah has commanded Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and of good courage; do not fear nor be dismayed.

vw@1Chronicles:22:14 @ Now behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of Jehovah one hundred thousand talents of gold and one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron beyond weight, for it is in abundance. I have prepared timber and stone also, and you may add to them.

vw@1Chronicles:22:15 @ Moreover there are workmen with you in abundance: hewers and craftsmen in stone and timber, and wise men for every kind of work.

vw@1Chronicles:22:16 @ There is no counting the gold and silver and bronze and iron. Arise and get to work; for Jehovah is with you.

vw@1Chronicles:22:17 @ David also commanded all the rulers of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,

vw@1Chronicles:22:18 @ Is not Jehovah your God with you? And has He not given you rest all around? For He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land has been subdued before Jehovah and before His people.

vw@1Chronicles:22:19 @ Now give your hearts and your souls to seek Jehovah your God. Therefore arise and build the sanctuary of Jehovah God, to bring the ark of the covenant of Jehovah and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for the name of Jehovah.

vw@1Chronicles:23:1 @ So when David was old and satisfied with days, he made his son Solomon king over Israel.

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

vw@1Chronicles:23:5 @ four thousand gatekeepers, and four thousand for praising Jehovah with instruments, which I have made, said David, to give praise.

vw@1Chronicles:23:6 @ David also divided them into divisions among the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

vw@1Chronicles:23:13 @ The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was set apart, he and his sons perpetually, that he should consecrate the set apart, holy things, to burn incense before Jehovah, to serve Him, and to bless in His name perpetually.

vw@1Chronicles:23:21 @ The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.

vw@1Chronicles:23:22 @ And Eleazar died, and had no sons, but only daughters; and their brethren, the sons of Kish, took them as wives.

vw@1Chronicles:23:25 @ For David had said, Jehovah the God of Israel has given rest to His people, that they may dwell in Jerusalem always;

vw@1Chronicles:23:29 @ both with the Bread in Rows and the fine flour for the grain offering, with the unleavened cakes and what is in the pans, with what is mixed and with all kinds of measures and sizes;

vw@1Chronicles:23:30 @ to stand every morning to thank and praise Jehovah, and likewise at evening;

vw@1Chronicles:24:1 @ These are the divisions of the sons of Aaron. The sons of Aaron: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar.

vw@1Chronicles:24:19 @ This was the assignment of their service to come into the house of Jehovah according to their ordinance by the hand of Aaron their father, as Jehovah the God of Israel had commanded him.

vw@1Chronicles:24:21 @ For Rehabiah: of the sons of Rehabiah, the first was Isshiah.

vw@1Chronicles:25:5 @ All these were the sons of Heman the king’s seer in the Words of God, to exalt his horn; for God gave Heman fourteen sons and three daughters.

vw@1Chronicles:25:9 @ The first lot for Asaph came out for Joseph. The second for Gedaliah, him with his brethren and sons; twelve.

vw@1Chronicles:26:6 @ Also sons were born to Shemaiah his son, who ruled their fathers’ houses, for they were mighty men of valor.

vw@1Chronicles:26:10 @ Also Hosah, of the sons of Merari, had sons: Shimri the first (for though he was not the firstborn, his father made him the first),

vw@1Chronicles:26:12 @ Among these were the divisions of the gatekeepers, among the chief men, having duties just like their brethren, to serve in the house of Jehovah.

vw@1Chronicles:26:14 @ The lot eastward fell to Shelemiah. And they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a wise counselor, and his lot came out for the north.

vw@1Chronicles:26:15 @ To Obed-Edom the south, and to his sons the storehouse.

vw@1Chronicles:26:26 @ This Shelomith and his brethren were over all the treasuries of the dedicated things which King David and the heads of fathers, the commanders over thousands and hundreds, and the commanders of the army, had consecrated.

vw@1Chronicles:26:30 @ Of the Hebronites: Hashabiah and his brethren, one thousand seven hundred able men, had the oversight of Israel on the west side of the Jordan for all the business of Jehovah, and in the service of the king.

vw@1Chronicles:26:31 @ Of the Hebronites: Jerijah was head of the Hebronites according to the generations of his fathers. In the fortieth year of the reign of David they were sought, and there were found among them mighty men of valor at Jazer of Gilead.

vw@1Chronicles:26:32 @ And his brethren were two thousand seven hundred men of valor, heads of fathers, whom King David made overseers over the Reubenites, the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for every matter pertaining to God and the matters of the king.

vw@1Chronicles:27:1 @ And the sons of Israel, according to their number, the heads of fathers, the commanders of thousands and hundreds and their officers, served the king in every matter in their divisions. These divisions came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year; each division having twenty-four thousand.

vw@1Chronicles:27:2 @ Over the first division for the first month was Jashobeam the son of Zabdiel, and in his division were twenty-four thousand;

vw@1Chronicles:27:22 @ of Dan, Azarel the son of Jeroham. These were the rulers over the tribes of Israel.

vw@1Chronicles:27:23 @ But David did not take the number of those twenty years old and under, because Jehovah had said He would multiply Israel like the stars of the heavens.

vw@1Chronicles:27:24 @ Joab the son of Zeruiah began to count, but he did not finish, for wrath came upon Israel because of this; nor was the number recorded in the account of the chronicles of King David.

vw@1Chronicles:27:30 @ Obil the Ishmaelite was over the camels, Jehdeiah the Meronothite was over the donkeys,

vw@1Chronicles:27:32 @ Also Jehonathan, David’s uncle, was a counselor, a wise man, and a scribe; and Jehiel the son of Hachmoni was with the king’s sons.

vw@1Chronicles:28:1 @ Now David assembled at Jerusalem all the rulers of Israel: the chiefs of the tribes and the leaders of the divisions who served the king, the commanders over thousands and commanders over hundreds, and the officials over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the overseers, the mighty men, and all the men of valor.

vw@1Chronicles:28:2 @ And King David rose to his feet and said, Hear me, my brethren and my people: I had it in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and for the footstool of our God, and had made preparations to build it.

vw@1Chronicles:28:4 @ However Jehovah the God of Israel chose me above all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever, for He has chosen Judah as the ruler; and of the house of Judah, the house of my father, and among the sons of my father, He has been pleased to make me king over all Israel.

vw@1Chronicles:28:5 @ And of all my sons (for Jehovah has given me many sons) He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah, over Israel.

vw@1Chronicles:28:6 @ And He said to me, Your son Solomon shall build My house and My courts; for I have chosen him as My son, and I will be his Father.

vw@1Chronicles:28:7 @ Moreover I will establish his kingdom forever, if he prevails to do My commandments and My judgments, as it is this day.

vw@1Chronicles:28:8 @ Now therefore, in the eyes of all Israel the assembly of Jehovah, and in the ears of our God, take heed to seek out all the commandments of Jehovah your God, that you may possess this good land, and leave it as an inheritance for your children after you always.

vw@1Chronicles:28:11 @ Then David gave his son Solomon the pattern for the porch, its houses, its treasuries, its upper chambers, its inner chambers, and the place of the mercy seat;

vw@1Chronicles:28:13 @ also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and for all the vessels of service in the house of Jehovah.

vw@1Chronicles:28:18 @ and refined gold by weight for the altar of incense, and for the construction of the chariot, that is, the gold cherubim that spread their wings and overshadowed the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.

vw@1Chronicles:28:19 @ All this, said David, Jehovah has given me insight in writing, by His hand upon me, all these patterns of the workmanship.

vw@1Chronicles:28:20 @ And David said to his son Solomon, Be strong and of good courage, and do it; do not fear nor be dismayed, for Jehovah God, my God, will be with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you, until you have finished all the work for the service of the house of Jehovah.

vw@1Chronicles:28:21 @ Behold, the divisions of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God; and every willing man of wisdom will be with you for all manner of workmanship, for every kind of service; also the rulers and all the people are here for whatever you say.

vw@1Chronicles:29:1 @ Furthermore King David said to all the assembly: My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen, is young and tender; and the work is great, because the temple is not for man but for Jehovah God.

vw@1Chronicles:29:5 @ the gold for things of gold and the silver for things of silver, and for all kinds of work to be done by the hands of craftsmen. Who then is willing to consecrate his hand this day unto Jehovah?

vw@1Chronicles:29:6 @ Then the heads of the fathers, chiefs of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, with the officers over the king’s business, offered free-will offerings.

vw@1Chronicles:29:10 @ And David blessed Jehovah before the eyes of all the assembly, and David said: Blessed are You, Jehovah the God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever.

vw@1Chronicles:29:11 @ Yours, O Jehovah, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens and on earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Jehovah, and You are exalted as head over all.

vw@1Chronicles:29:12 @ Both riches and honor come from before You, and You reign over all. In Your hand is power and might; it is in Your hand to make great and to give strength to all.

vw@1Chronicles:29:13 @ Now therefore, our God, we are giving thanks to You and praising Your glorious name.

vw@1Chronicles:29:14 @ But who am I, and who are my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly as this? For all things are from You, and out of Your own hand we have given to You.

vw@1Chronicles:29:15 @ For we are strangers and sojourners before You, as were all our fathers; our days on earth are as a shadow, and there is no hope.

vw@1Chronicles:29:16 @ O Jehovah our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build You a house for Your holy name is out of Your hand, and is all Your own.

vw@1Chronicles:29:18 @ O Jehovah the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the intent of the thoughts of the heart of Your people, and fix their heart toward You.

vw@1Chronicles:29:19 @ And give my son Solomon a perfect heart to keep Your commandments and Your testimonies and Your statutes, to do all these things, and to build the temple for which I have made provision.

vw@1Chronicles:29:21 @ And they slaughtered sacrifices unto Jehovah and offered burnt offerings unto Jehovah on the next day: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel.

vw@1Chronicles:29:23 @ And Solomon sat on the throne of Jehovah as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.

vw@1Chronicles:29:25 @ Thus Jehovah highly magnified Solomon in the eyes of all Israel, and bestowed upon him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

vw@1Chronicles:29:26 @ Thus David the son of Jesse had reigned over all Israel.

vw@1Chronicles:29:27 @ And the days that he reigned over Israel were forty years; seven years he reigned in Hebron, and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem.

vw@1Chronicles:29:28 @ And he died in a good old age, satisfied with days, riches and honor; and Solomon his son reigned in his place.

vw@1Chronicles:29:30 @ of all his reign and his might, and the events that happened to him, to Israel, and to all the kingdoms of the lands.

vw@2Chronicles:1:1 @ And Solomon the son of David strengthened himself in his kingdom, and Jehovah his God was with him and highly magnified him.

vw@2Chronicles:1:2 @ And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, to the judges, and to every leader in all Israel, the heads of the fathers;

vw@2Chronicles:1:8 @ And Solomon said to God: You have shown great mercy to David my father, and have made me king in his place.

vw@2Chronicles:1:9 @ Now, O Jehovah God, let Your promise to David my father be established, for You have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth for multitude.

vw@2Chronicles:1:10 @ Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this great people of Yours?

vw@2Chronicles:1:11 @ And God said to Solomon: Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches or wealth or honor or the life of your enemies, nor have you asked long life; but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge My people over whom I have made you king;

vw@2Chronicles:1:12 @ wisdom and knowledge are granted to you; and I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings who were before you have had, nor shall any after you have the like.

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

vw@2Chronicles:2:4 @ behold, I am building a house for the name of Jehovah my God, to consecrate it to Him, to burn before Him spiced incense, for the continual Bread in Rows, for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Jehovah our God, continually in Israel;

vw@2Chronicles:2:5 @ and the house which I am building will be great, for our God is greater than all gods;

vw@2Chronicles:2:6 @ but who is able to build Him a house, since the heavens and the Heaven of heavens cannot contain Him? Who am I then, that I should build Him a house, except to burn sacrifices with smoke before Him?

vw@2Chronicles:2:7 @ Therefore now, send me a skilled man to work in gold and silver, in bronze and iron, in purple and crimson and violet, who has skill to engrave carvings with the wise men who are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father has provided.

vw@2Chronicles:2:11 @ And Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon: Because of Jehovah’s love for His people, He has appointed you king over them.

vw@2Chronicles:2:12 @ Huram also said: Blessed is Jehovah the God of Israel, who has made the heavens and earth, for He has given King David a wise son, endowed with prudence and understanding, who will build a house for Jehovah and a royal house for himself.

vw@2Chronicles:2:14 @ (the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father, a man of Tyre), knowing how to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, purple and violet, fine linen and crimson, and to make any engraving and to accomplish any plan which may be given to him, with your craftsmen and with the craftsmen of my lord David your father.

vw@2Chronicles:2:15 @ Now therefore, the wheat, the barley, the oil, and the wine of which my lord has spoken, let him send to his servants.

vw@2Chronicles:2:17 @ And Solomon numbered all the foreign men who were in the land of Israel, after the census in which David his father had numbered them; and there were found to be one hundred and fifty-three thousand six hundred.

vw@2Chronicles:3:1 @ Thus Solomon began to build the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem on Mount Moriah, where He had appeared to his father David, at the place that David had prepared on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

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

vw@2Chronicles:3:3 @ This is the foundation which Solomon laid for building the house of God: The length was sixty cubits (by cubits according to the former measure) and the width twenty cubits.

vw@2Chronicles:3:14 @ And he made the veil of violet, purple, crimson, and fine linen, with raised cherubim.

vw@2Chronicles:4:11 @ And Huram made the pots and the shovels and the bowls. And Huram finished doing the work that he was to do for King Solomon for the house of God:

vw@2Chronicles:4:16 @ also the pots, the shovels, the forks, and all the utensils Huram-abi made of burnished bronze for King Solomon for the house of Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:4:19 @ Thus Solomon had all the furnishings made for the house of God: the altar of gold and the tables on which was the Bread of the Presence,

vw@2Chronicles:5:1 @ Thus all the work that Solomon had done for the house of Jehovah was finished; and Solomon brought in the things which his father David had consecrated: the silver and the gold and all the articles. And he put them in the treasuries of the house of God.

vw@2Chronicles:5:2 @ And Solomon assembled the elders of Israel and all the heads of the tribes, the chief fathers of the children of Israel, to Jerusalem, to bring the ark of the covenant of Jehovah up from the City of David, which is Zion.

vw@2Chronicles:5:3 @ And all the men of Israel assembled to the king for the feast, which was in the seventh month.

vw@2Chronicles:5:4 @ And all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.

vw@2Chronicles:5:6 @ Also King Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel who were assembled with him before the ark, were sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered for multitude.

vw@2Chronicles:5:9 @ And the poles were long enough that the ends of the poles of the ark could be seen from in front of the inner sanctuary; but they could not be seen from outside. And they are there to this day.

vw@2Chronicles:5:10 @ Nothing was in the ark except the two tablets which Moses had put there at Horeb, when Jehovah had made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

vw@2Chronicles:5:11 @ And it came to pass when the priests came out of the sanctuary (for all the priests who were present had consecrated themselves, without observing their divisions),

vw@2Chronicles:5:13 @ and those sounding the trumpets and those singing were as one, with one sound to be heard in praising and thanking Jehovah, to raise their voices with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of song, to praise Jehovah, saying: For He is good, for His mercy is eternal; that the house, the house of Jehovah, was filled with a cloud,

vw@2Chronicles:6:3 @ And the king turned his face and blessed the whole assembly of Israel, while all the assembly of Israel was standing.

vw@2Chronicles:6:4 @ And he said: Blessed is Jehovah the God of Israel, who has fulfilled with His hands what He has spoken with His mouth to my father David, saying,

vw@2Chronicles:6:5 @ Since the day that I brought My people out of the land of Egypt, I have chosen no city from any tribe of Israel in which to build a house, that My name might be there, nor have I chosen any man to be a ruler over My people Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:6:6 @ Yet I have chosen Jerusalem, that My name may be there; and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:6:7 @ Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:6:10 @ Thus Jehovah has fulfilled His word which He has spoken, and I have risen up in place of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah has spoken; and I have built the house for the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:6:11 @ And there I have put the ark, in which is the covenant of Jehovah which He has made with the children of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:6:12 @ And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands

vw@2Chronicles:6:13 @ (for Solomon had made a bronze platform five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and he stood on it, knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward Heaven),

vw@2Chronicles:6:15 @ You have kept what You have spoken to Your servant David my father; You have both spoken with Your mouth and fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day.

vw@2Chronicles:6:16 @ Therefore, O Jehovah, God of Israel, now keep what You have spoken to Your servant David my father, saying, You shall not fail to have a man sitting before Me on the throne of Israel, only if your sons take heed to their way, to walk in My Law as you have walked before Me.

vw@2Chronicles:6:17 @ And now, O Jehovah, God of Israel, let Your Word be established, which You have spoken to Your servant David.

vw@2Chronicles:6:18 @ But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the Heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this house which I have built.

vw@2Chronicles:6:19 @ Yet have regard to the prayer of Your servant and his supplication, O Jehovah my God, and listen to the cry and the prayer which Your servant is praying before You:

vw@2Chronicles:6:21 @ And may You hear the supplications of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Hear from Heaven Your dwelling place, and when You have heard, forgive.

vw@2Chronicles:6:22 @ If anyone sins against his neighbor, and has been required to swear an oath, and has come with an oath before Your altar in this house,

vw@2Chronicles:6:23 @ then hear from Heaven, and act, and judge Your servants, to bring retribution on the wicked to bring his way upon his own head, and to justify the righteous to give him according to his righteousness.

vw@2Chronicles:6:24 @ Or if Your people Israel are struck down before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and have returned and confessed Your name, and prayed and made supplication before You in this house,

vw@2Chronicles:6:25 @ then hear from Heaven and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which You have given to them and their fathers.

vw@2Chronicles:6:27 @ then hear in Heaven, and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, that You may teach them the good way in which they should walk; and send rain on Your land which You have given to Your people as an inheritance.

vw@2Chronicles:6:29 @ whatever prayer or supplication is made by anyone, or by all Your people Israel, when each one knows his own plague and his own grief, and has spread out his hands to this house:

vw@2Chronicles:6:33 @ then hear from Heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, that all peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by Your name.

vw@2Chronicles:6:36 @ When they sin against You (for there is no one who does not sin), and You have become angry with them and delivered them to the enemy, and they have taken them captive to a land far or near;

vw@2Chronicles:6:40 @ Now, my God, I pray, let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer of this place.

vw@2Chronicles:6:41 @ Now therefore, Arise, O Jehovah God, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength. Let Your priests, O Jehovah God, be clothed with salvation, and let Your saints rejoice in goodness.

vw@2Chronicles:7:1 @ And when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from the heavens and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the glory of Jehovah filled the house.

vw@2Chronicles:7:3 @ When all the children of Israel saw how the fire came down, and the glory of Jehovah upon the house, they bowed their faces to the ground on the pavement, and prostrated themselves and gave thanks unto Jehovah, saying: For He is good, for His mercy is eternal.

vw@2Chronicles:7:6 @ The priests were stationed at their posts; the Levites also with instruments of song unto Jehovah, (which King David had made to give praise unto Jehovah, saying, For His mercy is eternal, whenever David offered praise by their hand), and the priests sounded trumpets opposite them, while all Israel were standing.

vw@2Chronicles:7:8 @ At that time Solomon kept the feast seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly from the entrance of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt.

vw@2Chronicles:7:10 @ On the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the good that Jehovah had done to David, to Solomon, and to His people Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:7:11 @ Thus Solomon finished the house of Jehovah and the king’s house; and Solomon brought to successful conclusion all that came into his heart to make in the house of Jehovah and in his own house.

vw@2Chronicles:7:12 @ And Jehovah appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him: I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.

vw@2Chronicles:7:13 @ When I shut up the heavens and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people,

vw@2Chronicles:7:15 @ Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayers of this place.

vw@2Chronicles:7:16 @ For now I have chosen and consecrated this house, that My name may be there always; and My eyes and My heart shall be there all the days.

vw@2Chronicles:7:18 @ then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I have covenanted with David your father, saying, You shall not fail to have a man ruling in Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:7:20 @ then I will uproot them from My land which I have given them; and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out from before My face, and will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

vw@2Chronicles:7:21 @ And as for this lofty house, everyone who passes by it will be appalled and say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land and this house?

vw@2Chronicles:7:22 @ Then they will answer, Because they have forsaken Jehovah the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and taken hold on other gods, and bowed down to them and served them; therefore He has brought all this evil upon them.

vw@2Chronicles:8:1 @ It came to pass at the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the house of Jehovah and his own house,

vw@2Chronicles:8:2 @ that the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, Solomon built them; and he caused the children of Israel to dwell there.

vw@2Chronicles:8:6 @ also Baalath and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the chariot cities and the cities of the horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

vw@2Chronicles:8:7 @ All the people who were left of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, who were not of Israel;

vw@2Chronicles:8:8 @ that is, their sons who were left in the land after them, whom the sons of Israel had not finished off; from these Solomon raised forced labor, as it is to this day.

vw@2Chronicles:8:9 @ But Solomon did not make slaves for his work from the sons of Israel. They were men of war, commanders of his officers, commanders of his chariots, and his horsemen.

vw@2Chronicles:8:11 @ And Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the house he had built for her; for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the house of David, king of Israel, because the places to which the ark of Jehovah has come are holy.

vw@2Chronicles:8:14 @ And, according to the ordinance of David his father, he appointed the divisions of the priests for their service, the Levites for their charges, to praise and serve before the priests, as the charge of each day required, and the gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate; for thus was the commandment of David the man of God.

vw@2Chronicles:8:16 @ And all the work of Solomon was steadfast from the day of the foundation of the house of Jehovah until it was finished. Thus the house of Jehovah was completed.

vw@2Chronicles:8:18 @ And Huram sent him ships by the hand of his servants, and servants who knew the sea. They went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and carried away four hundred and fifty talents of gold from there, and brought it to King Solomon.

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

vw@2Chronicles:9:4 @ the food of his table, the seating of his servants, the service of his waiters and their apparel, his cupbearers and their apparel, and his chamber by which he went up to the house of Jehovah, it took her breath away.

vw@2Chronicles:9:5 @ And she said to the king: The word was true which I have heard in my own land, about your words and your wisdom.

vw@2Chronicles:9:6 @ However I did not believe their words until I had come and my eyes saw it; and behold, the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me. You exceed the reports which I have heard.

vw@2Chronicles:9:7 @ Happy are your men and happy are these your servants, who stand continually before you and hear your wisdom.

vw@2Chronicles:9:8 @ Blessed is Jehovah your God, who has delighted in you, setting you on His throne to be king for Jehovah your God. In your God’s love for Israel, to establish them forever, He has made you king over them, to do justice and righteousness.

vw@2Chronicles:9:19 @ Twelve lions stood there, one on each side of the six steps; nothing like this had been made for any other kingdom.

vw@2Chronicles:9:21 @ For the king’s ships went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram. Once every three years the ships came from Tarshish, bringing gold, silver, ivory, apes, and peacocks.

vw@2Chronicles:9:22 @ Thus King Solomon surpassed all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

vw@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.

vw@2Chronicles:9:24 @ Each man brought his present: articles of silver and gold, garments, weapons, spices, horses, and mules, the matter year by year.

vw@2Chronicles:9:26 @ And he reigned over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the border of Egypt.

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

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

vw@2Chronicles:9:31 @ And Solomon rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David his father. And Rehoboam his son reigned in his place.

vw@2Chronicles:10:1 @ And Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.

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

vw@2Chronicles:10:4 @ Your father made our yoke heavy; now therefore, lighten the burdensome service of your father and his heavy yoke which he has put on us, and we will serve you.

vw@2Chronicles:10:6 @ And King Rehoboam consulted the elders who stood before his father Solomon while he still lived, saying, How do you advise me to answer these people?

vw@2Chronicles:10:9 @ And he said to them, What advice do you give? How should we answer this people who have spoken to me, saying, Lighten the yoke which your father had put on us?

vw@2Chronicles:10:11 @ And now, whereas my father put a heavy yoke on you, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions!

vw@2Chronicles:10:14 @ and he spoke to them according to the counsel of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions!

vw@2Chronicles:10:15 @ So the king did not consent to the people; for the turn of events was from God, that Jehovah might fulfill His word, which He had spoken by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

vw@2Chronicles:10:16 @ And when all Israel saw that the king did not consent to them, the people answered the king, saying: What portion have we in David? We have no inheritance in the son of Jesse. Every man to your tents, O Israel! Now see to your own house, O David! And all Israel departed to their tents.

vw@2Chronicles:10:17 @ But Rehoboam reigned over the children of Israel dwelling in the cities of Judah.

vw@2Chronicles:10:18 @ And King Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the labor force; but the sons of Israel stoned him with stones, and he died. So King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste to flee to Jerusalem.

vw@2Chronicles:10:19 @ Thus Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David to this day.

vw@2Chronicles:11:1 @ Now when Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he summoned up from the house of Judah and Benjamin one hundred and eighty thousand choice men who were warriors, to fight against Israel, that he might restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.

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

vw@2Chronicles:11:4 @ Thus says Jehovah: You shall not go up or fight against your brethren. Let every man return to his house, for this thing has come about from Me. And they obeyed the words of Jehovah, and turned back from going against Jeroboam.

vw@2Chronicles:11:9 @ Adoraim, Lachish, Azekah,

vw@2Chronicles:11:12 @ Also in every city he put shields and spears, and made them very strong, having Judah and Benjamin on his side.

vw@2Chronicles:11:13 @ And from all their territories the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel stood with him.

vw@2Chronicles:11:14 @ For the Levites left their common lands and their possessions and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had rejected them from serving as priests unto Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:11:16 @ And those from all the tribes of Israel, such as set their hearts to seek Jehovah the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to sacrifice to Jehovah the God of their fathers.

vw@2Chronicles:11:21 @ And Rehoboam loved Maachah the granddaughter of Absalom more than all his wives and his concubines; for he took eighteen wives and sixty concubines, and begot twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.

vw@2Chronicles:11:22 @ And Rehoboam appointed Abijah the son of Maachah as head, as prince among his brothers; to make him king.

vw@2Chronicles:11:23 @ He dealt with discernment, and dispersed some of his sons throughout all the territories of Judah and Benjamin, to every fortified city; and he gave them provisions in abundance. He also sought many wives for them.

vw@2Chronicles:12:1 @ Now it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom and had strengthened himself, that he and all Israel with him forsook the Law of Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:12:2 @ And it happened in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against Jehovah,

vw@2Chronicles:12:5 @ Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the rulers of Judah, who were gathered together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, Thus says Jehovah: You have forsaken Me, and therefore I also have forsaken you to the hand of Shishak.

vw@2Chronicles:12:6 @ So the rulers of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, Jehovah is righteous.

vw@2Chronicles:12:7 @ And when Jehovah saw that they had humbled themselves, the Word of Jehovah came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them a little deliverance. My wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

vw@2Chronicles:12:8 @ Nevertheless they shall be his servants, that they may distinguish between My service and the service of the kingdoms of the earth.

vw@2Chronicles:12:9 @ So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah and the treasures of the king’s house; he took everything. He also carried away the gold shields which Solomon had made.

vw@2Chronicles:12:13 @ Thus Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Now Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king; and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. His mother’s name was Naamah, an Ammonitess.

vw@2Chronicles:12:14 @ And he did evil, because he had not fixed his heart to seek Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:12:16 @ So Rehoboam rested with his fathers, and was buried in the City of David. And Abijah his son reigned in his place.

vw@2Chronicles:13:2 @ He reigned three years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Michaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

vw@2Chronicles:13:4 @ And Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim in the mountains of Ephraim, and said, Hear me, Jeroboam and all Israel:

vw@2Chronicles:13:5 @ Should you not know that Jehovah the God of Israel gave the dominion over Israel to David forever, to him and his sons, by a covenant of salt?

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

vw@2Chronicles:13:10 @ But as for us, Jehovah is our God, and we have not forsaken Him; and the priests who serve Jehovah are the sons of Aaron, and the Levites in their service.

vw@2Chronicles:13:12 @ Now behold, God Himself is with us as our head, and His priests with sounding trumpets to sound the alarm against you. O sons of Israel, do not fight against Jehovah the God of your fathers, for you shall not prosper.

vw@2Chronicles:13:15 @ And the men of Judah gave a shout; and as the men of Judah shouted, it happened that God struck Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

vw@2Chronicles:13:16 @ And the sons of Israel fled before Judah, and God delivered them into their hand.

vw@2Chronicles:13:17 @ And Abijah and his people struck them with a great slaughter; and five hundred thousand choice men of Israel fell slain.

vw@2Chronicles:13:18 @ Thus the sons of Israel were subdued at that time; and the sons of Judah prevailed, because they had trusted on Jehovah the God of their fathers.

vw@2Chronicles:13:22 @ Now the rest of the acts of Abijah, his ways, and his sayings are written in the midrash of the prophet Iddo.

vw@2Chronicles:14:1 @ So Abijah rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And Asa his son reigned in his place. In his days the land was quiet for ten years.

vw@2Chronicles:14:2 @ Asa did what was good and right in the eyes of Jehovah his God,

vw@2Chronicles:14:7 @ Therefore he said to Judah, Let us build these cities and make walls around them, and towers, gates, and bars, while the land is yet before us, because we have sought Jehovah our God; we have sought Him, and He has given us rest on every side. So they built and prospered.

vw@2Chronicles:14:11 @ And Asa cried out unto Jehovah his God, and said, Jehovah, it is nothing for You to help, whether with many or with those who have no strength; help us, O Jehovah our God, for we have trusted on You, and in Your name we go against this multitude. O Jehovah, You are our God; do not let man prevail against You.

vw@2Chronicles:14:13 @ And Asa and the people who were with him pursued them to Gerar. So the Ethiopians fell, and they could not recover, for they were broken before Jehovah and His army. And they carried away very much spoils.

vw@2Chronicles:15:2 @ And he went out before Asa, and said to him: Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. Jehovah is with you while you are with Him. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.

vw@2Chronicles:15:3 @ For many days Israel has been without the true God, without a teaching priest, and without Law;

vw@2Chronicles:15:4 @ but when in their trouble they turned to Jehovah the God of Israel, and sought Him, He was found by them.

vw@2Chronicles:15:6 @ And nation has been destroyed by nation, and city by city; for God has vexed them with every distress.

vw@2Chronicles:15:7 @ But you, be strong and do not let your hands relax, for there is reward for your work.

vw@2Chronicles:15:9 @ And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those sojourning with them from Ephraim, Manasseh, and Simeon, for they had fallen out to him in great numbers from Israel when they saw that Jehovah his God was with him.

vw@2Chronicles:15:13 @ and whoever would not seek Jehovah the God of Israel was put to death, whether small or great, man or woman.

vw@2Chronicles:15:17 @ But the high places were not removed from Israel. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.

vw@2Chronicles:15:18 @ He also brought into the house of God the things that his father had consecrated and that he himself had consecrated: silver and gold and vessels.

vw@2Chronicles:16:1 @ In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah and built Ramah, that he might let none go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.

vw@2Chronicles:16:3 @ Let there be a treaty between you and me, as there was between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you silver and gold; come, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.

vw@2Chronicles:16:4 @ So Ben-Hadad heeded King Asa, and sent the commanders of his forces against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, Dan, Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.

vw@2Chronicles:16:5 @ And it happened, when Baasha heard it, that he stopped building Ramah and ceased his work.

vw@2Chronicles:16:9 @ For the eyes of Jehovah run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show Himself strong for those whose hearts are perfect toward Him. In this you have done foolishly; therefore from now on there will be wars for you.

vw@2Chronicles:16:10 @ Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison house, for he was enraged at him for this; and Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.

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

vw@2Chronicles:16:12 @ And in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, Asa became diseased in his feet, and his sickness was severe; yet in his sickness he did not seek Jehovah, but the physicians.

vw@2Chronicles:16:13 @ So Asa rested with his fathers; he died in the forty-first year of his reign.

vw@2Chronicles:16:14 @ And they buried him in his own tomb, which he had made for himself in the City of David; and they laid him in the bed which was filled with spices and various ingredients prepared in a mixture of ointments; and they made a very great burning for him.

vw@2Chronicles:17:1 @ Then Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his place, and strengthened himself against Israel.

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

vw@2Chronicles:17:3 @ And Jehovah was with Jehoshaphat, because he walked in the former ways of his father David; he did not seek the Baals,

vw@2Chronicles:17:4 @ but sought the God of his father, and walked in His commandments and not according to the deeds of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:17:5 @ Therefore Jehovah established the kingdom in his hand; and all Judah gave tribute to Jehoshaphat, and he had riches and honor in abundance.

vw@2Chronicles:17:6 @ And his heart was exalted in the ways of Jehovah; moreover he removed the high places and groves out of Judah.

vw@2Chronicles:17:7 @ Also in the third year of his reign he sent his rulers, Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel, and Michaiah, to teach in the cities of Judah.

vw@2Chronicles:17:8 @ And with them he sent Levites: Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah, and Tob-adonijah, the Levites; and with them Elishama and Jehoram, the priests.

vw@2Chronicles:17:11 @ Also some of the Philistines brought Jehoshaphat gifts and tribute of silver; and the Arabians brought him flocks, seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred male goats.

vw@2Chronicles:18:1 @ Jehoshaphat had riches and honor in abundance; and allied himself with Ahab and became his son-in-law.

vw@2Chronicles:18:2 @ At the end of some years he went down to visit Ahab in Samaria; and Ahab killed sheep and oxen in abundance for him and the people with him, and enticed him to go up with him to Ramoth Gilead.

vw@2Chronicles:18:3 @ So Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Will you go with me against Ramoth Gilead? And he answered him, I am as you are, and my people as your people; also with you in the war.

vw@2Chronicles:18:4 @ And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Please inquire for the Word of Jehovah today.

vw@2Chronicles:18:5 @ So the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I refrain? And they said, Go up, for God will deliver it into the king’s hand.

vw@2Chronicles:18:6 @ But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not still a prophet of Jehovah here, that we may inquire of Him?

vw@2Chronicles:18:7 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom to inquire of Jehovah; but I hate him, because he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

vw@2Chronicles:18:8 @ So the king of Israel summoned one of his officers and said, Bring Micaiah the son of Imla quickly.

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

vw@2Chronicles:18:10 @ Now Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made horns of iron for himself; and he said, Thus says Jehovah: With these you shall thrust at the Syrians to finish them off.

vw@2Chronicles:18:16 @ Then he said, I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And Jehovah said, These have no master. Let each return to his house in peace.

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

vw@2Chronicles:18:18 @ Then Micaiah said, Therefore hear the Word of Jehovah: I have seen Jehovah sitting on His throne, and all the host of the heavens standing on His right hand and His left.

vw@2Chronicles:18:19 @ And Jehovah said, Who will persuade Ahab king of Israel to go up, that he may fall at Ramoth Gilead? So one spoke in this manner, and another spoke in that manner.

vw@2Chronicles:18:21 @ So he said, I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, You shall seduce him and also succeed; go out and do so.

vw@2Chronicles:18:25 @ And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and return him to Amon the ruler of the city and to Joash the king’s son;

vw@2Chronicles:18:26 @ and say, Thus says the king: Put this one in prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and water of affliction until I return in peace.

vw@2Chronicles:18:28 @ So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead.

vw@2Chronicles:18:29 @ And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself and go into battle; but you put on your robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into battle.

vw@2Chronicles:18:30 @ Now the king of Syria had commanded the commanders of the chariots who were with him, saying, Fight with no one small or great, but only with the king of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:18:31 @ So it was, when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel! Therefore they surrounded him to engage in battle; but Jehoshaphat cried out, and Jehovah helped him, and God drew them away from him.

vw@2Chronicles:18:32 @ For so it was, when the commanders of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing him.

vw@2Chronicles:18:33 @ Now a certain man drew a bow at random, and struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So he said to the driver of his chariot, Turn your hand and bring me out of the battle, for I am wounded.

vw@2Chronicles:18:34 @ The battle increased that day, and the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot in view of the Syrians until evening; and about the time of sunset he died.

vw@2Chronicles:19:1 @ And Jehoshaphat the king of Judah returned in peace to his house in Jerusalem.

vw@2Chronicles:19:2 @ And Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out before him, and said to King Jehoshaphat, Should you help the wicked and love those hating Jehovah? Therefore wrath is upon you from before Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:19:6 @ and said to the judges, Take heed to what you are doing, for you do not judge for man but for Jehovah, who is with you in the words of judgment.

vw@2Chronicles:19:7 @ Now therefore, let the fear of Jehovah be upon you; take heed and do it, for there is no injustice with Jehovah our God, no partiality, nor taking of bribes.

vw@2Chronicles:19:8 @ Moreover in Jerusalem, for the judgment of Jehovah and for disputes, Jehoshaphat appointed some of the chief fathers of Israel of the Levites and priests, who were brought back to Jerusalem.

vw@2Chronicles:19:9 @ And he commanded them, saying, You shall do this in the fear of Jehovah, in faithfulness and with a perfect heart:

vw@2Chronicles:19:10 @ Whatever case comes to you from your brethren who dwell in their cities, whether of bloodshed or offenses against Law or commandment, against statutes or ordinances, you shall warn them, that they not trespass against Jehovah and wrath come upon you and your brethren. Do this, and you shall not be guilty.

vw@2Chronicles:19:11 @ And behold, Amariah the chief priest is over you in all matters of Jehovah; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the ruler of the house of Judah, for all the king’s matters; also the Levites will be officials before you. Deal firmly, and Jehovah will be with the good.

vw@2Chronicles:20:1 @ And it happened after this that the sons of Moab and the sons of Ammon, along with others besides the Ammonites, came to battle against Jehoshaphat.

vw@2Chronicles:20:2 @ And some came and reported to Jehoshaphat, saying, A great multitude is coming against you from beyond the sea, from Syria; and they are in Hazazon Tamar (which is En Gedi).

vw@2Chronicles:20:3 @ And Jehoshaphat feared, and set his face to seek Jehovah, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

vw@2Chronicles:20:6 @ and said: O Jehovah the God of our fathers, are You not God in Heaven, and do You not rule over all the kingdoms of the nations, and in Your hand is there not power and might, so that no one is able to withstand You?

vw@2Chronicles:20:7 @ Are You not our God, who drove out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel, and gave it to the seed of Abraham Your friend forever?

vw@2Chronicles:20:9 @ If evil comes upon us; sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine; we will stand before this house and before Your face (for Your name is in this house), and cry out to You in our affliction, and You will hear and save.

vw@2Chronicles:20:10 @ And now, behold, the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, whom You would not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned aside from them and have not destroyed them.

vw@2Chronicles:20:12 @ O our God, will You not judge them? For we have no power against this great multitude that is coming against us; nor do we know what to do, but our eyes are upon You.

vw@2Chronicles:20:15 @ And he said, Give attention, all you of Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem, and you, O King Jehoshaphat. Thus says Jehovah to you: Do not be afraid nor dismayed because of this great multitude, for the battle is not yours, but God’s.

vw@2Chronicles:20:17 @ You shall not fight in this battle. Station yourselves, stand your ground and see the salvation of Jehovah for you, O Judah and Jerusalem. Do not fear or be dismayed; tomorrow go out before them, for Jehovah is with you.

vw@2Chronicles:20:18 @ And Jehoshaphat bowed down with his face to the ground, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell down before Jehovah to prostrate themselves before Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:20:19 @ And the Levites of the sons of the Kohathites and of the sons of the Korahites stood up to praise Jehovah the God of Israel with loud voices on high.

vw@2Chronicles:20:20 @ So they rose early in the morning and went out into the wilderness of Tekoa; and as they went out, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Listen to me, O Judah and you inhabitants of Jerusalem: Trust in Jehovah your God, and you shall be established; believe His prophets, and you shall prosper.

vw@2Chronicles:20:21 @ And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing unto Jehovah, and who should praise the glory of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying: Give thanks unto Jehovah, for His mercy is eternal.

vw@2Chronicles:20:22 @ And when they began to cry out in songs of praise, Jehovah set ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were smitten.

vw@2Chronicles:20:25 @ And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to plunder the spoils, they found among them an abundance of property on the corpses, with precious jewelry, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away; and they were three days plundering the spoils because there was so much.

vw@2Chronicles:20:26 @ And on the fourth day they assembled in the Valley of Berachah, for there they blessed Jehovah; therefore the name of that place was called The Valley of Berachah to this day.

vw@2Chronicles:20:29 @ And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of the lands when they heard that Jehovah had fought against the enemies of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:20:30 @ So the kingdom of Jehoshaphat was quiet, for his God gave him rest all around.

vw@2Chronicles:20:31 @ So Jehoshaphat was king over Judah. He was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

vw@2Chronicles:20:32 @ And he walked in the way of his father Asa, and did not turn aside from it, to do what was right in the eyes of Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:20:34 @ Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, which is brought up in the book of the kings of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:20:35 @ After this Jehoshaphat king of Judah had made an alliance with Ahaziah king of Israel, who acted very wickedly.

vw@2Chronicles:20:36 @ And he allied himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish, and they made the ships in Ezion Geber.

vw@2Chronicles:20:37 @ But Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have allied yourself with Ahaziah, Jehovah has broken your works. And the ships were wrecked, so that they were not able to go to Tarshish.

vw@2Chronicles:21:1 @ And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the City of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his place.

vw@2Chronicles:21:2 @ He had brothers, the sons of Jehoshaphat: Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were the sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:21:4 @ Now when Jehoram rose to power over the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself and killed all his brothers with the sword, and also others of the rulers of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:21:6 @ And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he had the daughter of Ahab as a wife; and he did evil in the eyes of Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:21:7 @ Yet Jehovah would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that He had made with David, and since He had promised to give a lamp to him and to his sons forever.

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

vw@2Chronicles:21:9 @ So Jehoram went out with his commanders, and all his chariots with him. And he rose up by night and struck the Edomites who had surrounded him and the commanders of the chariots.

vw@2Chronicles:21:10 @ Thus Edom has been in revolt from under the hand of Judah to this day. At that time Libnah revolted from under his hand, because he had forsaken Jehovah the God of his fathers.

vw@2Chronicles:21:13 @ but have walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to play the harlot like the harlotry of the house of Ahab, and also have killed your brothers, those of your father’s household, who were better than yourself,

vw@2Chronicles:21:14 @ behold, Jehovah is striking your people with a great blow; your children, your wives, and all your possessions;

vw@2Chronicles:21:15 @ and you shall have great sickness with a disease of your intestines, until your intestines come out by reason of the sickness, day by day.

vw@2Chronicles:21:16 @ Moreover Jehovah stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines and the Arabians who were near the Ethiopians.

vw@2Chronicles:21:17 @ And they came up into Judah and broke through, and carried away all the possessions that were found in the king’s house, and also his sons and his wives, so that there was not a son left to him except Jehoahaz, the youngest of his sons.

vw@2Chronicles:21:18 @ And after all this Jehovah struck him in his intestines with an incurable disease.

vw@2Chronicles:21:19 @ And it happened in the course of time, after the end of two years, that his intestines came out because of his sickness; so he died from the miserable disease. And his people made no burning for him, like the burnings for his fathers.

vw@2Chronicles:22:1 @ Then the inhabitants of Jerusalem made Ahaziah his youngest son king in his place, for the raiders who came with the Arabians into the camp had killed all the older sons. So Ahaziah the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, reigned.

vw@2Chronicles:22:2 @ Ahaziah was forty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Athaliah the daughter of Omri.

vw@2Chronicles:22:3 @ He also walked in the ways of the house of Ahab, for his mother was counseling him to do wickedly.

vw@2Chronicles:22:4 @ Therefore he did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, like the house of Ahab; for they were his counselors after the death of his father, to his destruction.

vw@2Chronicles:22:5 @ He also followed their counsel, and went with Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Israel to war against Hazael king of Syria at Ramoth Gilead; and the Syrians struck Joram.

vw@2Chronicles:22:9 @ He also sought for Ahaziah; and they caught him (he was hiding in Samaria), and brought him to Jehu. When they had killed him, they buried him, because, they said, he is the son of Jehoshaphat, who sought Jehovah with all his heart. So the house of Ahaziah had no one to retain power over the kingdom.

vw@2Chronicles:22:11 @ But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him away from among the king’s sons who were being killed, and put him and his nurse in a bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest (for she was the sister of Ahaziah), hid him from Athaliah so that she did not kill him.

vw@2Chronicles:23:1 @ In the seventh year Jehoiada strengthened himself, and made a covenant with the commanders of hundreds: Azariah the son of Jeroham, Ishmael the son of Jehohanan, Azariah the son of Obed, Maaseiah the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat the son of Zichri.

vw@2Chronicles:23:2 @ And they went throughout Judah and gathered the Levites from all the cities of Judah, and the chief fathers of Israel, and they came to Jerusalem.

vw@2Chronicles:23:4 @ This is what you shall do: One-third of you entering on the Sabbath, of the priests and the Levites, shall be gatekeepers of the doors;

vw@2Chronicles:23:7 @ And the Levites shall surround the king on all sides, every man with his weapons in his hand; and whoever comes into the house, let him be put to death. You are to be with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.

vw@2Chronicles:23:8 @ So the Levites and all Judah did according to all that Jehoiada the priest commanded. And each man took his men who were to come in on the Sabbath, with those who were going out on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada the priest had not dismissed the divisions.

vw@2Chronicles:23:10 @ And he stationed all the people, every man with his weapon in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left side of the house, along by the altar and by the house, all around the king.

vw@2Chronicles:23:11 @ And they brought out the king’s son, put the crown on him, gave him the Testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, Long live the king!

vw@2Chronicles:23:12 @ Now when Athaliah heard the sound of the people running and praising the king, she came to the people into the house of Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:23:13 @ When she looked, behold, the king was standing by his pillar at the entrance; and the rulers and the trumpeters were by the king. All the people of the land were joyful, blowing trumpets, and singing with instruments of song, and leading in praise. So Athaliah tore her clothes and said, Treason! Treason!

vw@2Chronicles:23:18 @ Jehoiada also appointed the oversight of the house of Jehovah into the hand of the priests, the Levites, whom David had assigned to the house of Jehovah, to offer the burnt offerings of Jehovah, as it is written in the Law of Moses, with gladness and song, by the hands of David.

vw@2Chronicles:24:1 @ Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.

vw@2Chronicles:24:4 @ Now it happened after this that Joash set his heart to repair the house of Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:24:5 @ And he gathered the priests and the Levites, and said to them, Go out to the cities of Judah, and gather from all Israel money to repair the house of your God from year to year, and see that you do it quickly. However the Levites did not do it quickly.

vw@2Chronicles:24:6 @ So the king called Jehoiada the chief priest, and said to him, Why have you not required the Levites to bring in from Judah and from Jerusalem the offering of Moses the servant of Jehovah and of the assembly of Israel, for the tent of witness?

vw@2Chronicles:24:9 @ And they made a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to bring to Jehovah the offering that Moses the servant of God had laid upon Israel in the wilderness.

vw@2Chronicles:24:10 @ And all the rulers and all the people rejoiced, brought and threw into the chest until they were all finished.

vw@2Chronicles:24:14 @ When they had finished, they brought the rest of the money before the king and Jehoiada; they made from it vessels for the house of Jehovah, utensils for serving and offering, spoons and vessels of gold and silver. And they offered burnt offerings in the house of Jehovah continually all the days of Jehoiada.

vw@2Chronicles:24:15 @ And Jehoiada grew old and satisfied with days, and died; he was one hundred and thirty years old at his death.

vw@2Chronicles:24:16 @ And they buried him in the City of David among the kings, because he had done good in Israel, both toward God and His house.

vw@2Chronicles:24:19 @ And He sent prophets to them, to bring them back to Jehovah; and they testified against them, but they would not listen.

vw@2Chronicles:24:22 @ Thus Joash the king did not remember the kindness which Jehoiada his father had done to him, but killed his son; and as he died, he said, May Jehovah take notice, and require it!

vw@2Chronicles:24:25 @ And when they had withdrawn from him (for they left him severely wounded), his own servants conspired against him because of the blood of the son of Jehoiada the priest, and killed him on his bed. So he died. And they buried him in the City of David, but they did not bury him in the tombs of the kings.

vw@2Chronicles:24:27 @ Now concerning his sons, and the great many tributes to him, and the repairing of the house of God, behold, they are written in the midrash of the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son reigned in his place.

vw@2Chronicles:25:1 @ Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

vw@2Chronicles:25:3 @ Now it happened, when the kingdom had been secured to him, that he executed his servants who had killed his father the king.

vw@2Chronicles:25:4 @ However he did not execute their children, but did as it is written in the Law in the Book of Moses, where Jehovah had commanded, saying, The fathers shall not be put to death for their sons, nor shall the sons be put to death for their fathers; but each shall die for his own sin.

vw@2Chronicles:25:6 @ He also hired one hundred thousand mighty men of valor from Israel for one hundred talents of silver.

vw@2Chronicles:25:7 @ But a man of God came to him, saying, O king, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for Jehovah is not with Israel; with any of the sons of Ephraim.

vw@2Chronicles:25:9 @ And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do about the hundred talents which I have given to the troops of Israel? And the man of God answered, Jehovah has much more than this to give you.

vw@2Chronicles:25:10 @ So Amaziah dismissed the troops that had come to him from Ephraim, to go back to their place. Therefore their anger burned greatly against Judah, and they returned to their place in burning anger.

vw@2Chronicles:25:11 @ And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led his people and went to the Valley of Salt and killed ten thousand of the sons of Seir.

vw@2Chronicles:25:13 @ But as for the troops which Amaziah had dismissed, so that they should not go with him to battle, they raided the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon, killed three thousand in them, and plundered much spoils.

vw@2Chronicles:25:14 @ And it came about, after Amaziah came from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, set them up to be his gods, and bowed down before them and burned incense to them.

vw@2Chronicles:25:16 @ So it was, as he spoke with him, that the king said to him, Have we made you the king’s counselor? Stop! Why should you be killed? So the prophet stopped, and said, I know that God has given counsel to destroy you, because you have done this and have not heeded my counsel.

vw@2Chronicles:25:17 @ Now Amaziah king of Judah took counsel and sent to Joash the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look each other in the face.

vw@2Chronicles:25:18 @ And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son as wife; and a wild beast that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled the thistle.

vw@2Chronicles:25:19 @ Behold, you say that you have struck the Edomites, and your heart is lifted up to boast. Stay at home now; why should you excite yourself to evil, that you should fall; you and Judah with you?

vw@2Chronicles:25:20 @ But Amaziah would not listen, for it was from God, to deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had resorted to the gods of Edom.

vw@2Chronicles:25:21 @ So Joash king of Israel went out; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.

vw@2Chronicles:25:22 @ And Judah was struck down before Israel, and every man fled to his tent.

vw@2Chronicles:25:23 @ And Joash the king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh; and he brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate; four hundred cubits.

vw@2Chronicles:25:25 @ And Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:25:26 @ Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, from first to last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:25:27 @ After the time that Amaziah turned away from following Jehovah, they conspired treason against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.

vw@2Chronicles:25:28 @ And they brought him on horses and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.

vw@2Chronicles:26:1 @ And all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king instead of his father Amaziah.

vw@2Chronicles:26:2 @ He built Elath and restored it to Judah, after the king rested with his fathers.

vw@2Chronicles:26:3 @ Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned fifty-two years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jecholiah of Jerusalem.

vw@2Chronicles:26:4 @ And he did what was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Amaziah had done.

vw@2Chronicles:26:5 @ He sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God; and in the days that he sought Jehovah, God made him prosper.

vw@2Chronicles:26:6 @ And he went out and made war against the Philistines, and broke down the wall of Gath, the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod; and he built cities around Ashdod and among the Philistines.

vw@2Chronicles:26:7 @ God helped him against the Philistines, against the Arabians who lived in Gur-Baal, and against the Meunim.

vw@2Chronicles:26:8 @ The Ammonites also brought tribute to Uzziah. His fame spread as far as the entrance of Egypt, for he became exceedingly strong.

vw@2Chronicles:26:11 @ Moreover Uzziah had forces making war who went out to war by divisions, according to the number of their muster by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the officer, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king’s commanders.

vw@2Chronicles:26:15 @ And he made devices in Jerusalem, invented by skillful men, to be on the towers and the corners, to shoot arrows and large stones. And his fame spread far and wide, for he was marvelously helped till he became strong.

vw@2Chronicles:26:16 @ But when he was strong his heart was lifted up, to his destruction, for he transgressed against Jehovah his God to enter the temple of Jehovah to burn incense on the altar of incense.

vw@2Chronicles:26:18 @ And they withstood King Uzziah, and said to him, It is not for you, Uzziah, to burn incense unto Jehovah, but for the priests, the sons of Aaron, who are consecrated to burn incense. Get out of the sanctuary, for you have trespassed! You shall have no honor from Jehovah God.

vw@2Chronicles:26:19 @ And Uzziah became enraged; and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense. And while he was angry with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead, before the priests in the house of Jehovah, beside the incense altar.

vw@2Chronicles:26:20 @ And Azariah the chief priest and all the priests looked towards him, and behold, on his forehead he was leprous; so they hurried him out of that place. Indeed he also hurried to get out, because Jehovah had struck him.

vw@2Chronicles:26:21 @ And King Uzziah was a leper until the day of his death. He dwelt in a separate house, because he was a leper; for he was cut off from the house of Jehovah. And Jotham his son was over the king’s house, judging the people of the land.

vw@2Chronicles:26:22 @ Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, from first to last, the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz has written.

vw@2Chronicles:26:23 @ So Uzziah rested with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of burial which belonged to the kings, for they said, He is a leper. And Jotham his son reigned in his place.

vw@2Chronicles:27:1 @ Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jerusha the daughter of Zadok.

vw@2Chronicles:27:2 @ And he did what was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father Uzziah had done (although he did not enter the temple of Jehovah). But the people continued to do corruptly.

vw@2Chronicles:27:5 @ He also fought with the king of the Ammonites and prevailed over them. And the children of Ammon gave him in that year one hundred talents of silver, ten thousand kors of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. The children of Ammon paid this to him in the second and third years also.

vw@2Chronicles:27:6 @ Thus Jotham became mighty, because he had directed his ways before Jehovah his God.

vw@2Chronicles:27:7 @ Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, behold they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

vw@2Chronicles:27:9 @ So Jotham rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the City of David. And Ahaz his son reigned in his place.

vw@2Chronicles:28:1 @ Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not do what was right in the eyes of Jehovah, like his father David.

vw@2Chronicles:28:2 @ For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made molten images for the Baals.

vw@2Chronicles:28:3 @ He burned incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burned his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom Jehovah had cast out before the children of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:28:5 @ Therefore Jehovah his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria. They struck him, and carried away a great multitude of them as captives, and brought them to Damascus. Then he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him down with a great slaughter.

vw@2Chronicles:28:8 @ And the sons of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand women, sons, and daughters; and they also took away much spoils from them, and brought the spoils to Samaria.

vw@2Chronicles:28:11 @ Now listen to me, therefore, and return the captives, whom you have taken captive from your brethren, for the fierce wrath of Jehovah is upon you.

vw@2Chronicles:28:13 @ and said to them, You shall not bring the captives here, for we are already guilty before Jehovah. You intend to add to our sins and to our guilt; for our guilt is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:28:18 @ The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland and of the south of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Sochoh with its daughter-villages, Timnah with its daughter-villages, and Gimzo with its daughter-villages; and dwelt there.

vw@2Chronicles:28:19 @ For Jehovah had humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he had led Judah into lack of restraints, and to trespass in unfaithfulness unto Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:28:20 @ And Tiglath-Pileser king of Assyria came to him and distressed him, and did not help him.

vw@2Chronicles:28:22 @ And in the time of his distress he became increasingly unfaithful to Jehovah; this King Ahaz.

vw@2Chronicles:28:23 @ For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had struck him, saying, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me. But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:28:25 @ And in every single city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger Jehovah the God of his fathers.

vw@2Chronicles:28:26 @ Now the rest of his acts and all his ways, from first to last, behold they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:28:27 @ So Ahaz rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, in Jerusalem; but they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel. And Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.

vw@2Chronicles:29:1 @ Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Abijah the daughter of Zechariah.

vw@2Chronicles:29:2 @ And he did what was right in the eyes of Jehovah, according to all that his father David had done.

vw@2Chronicles:29:3 @ In the first year of his reign, in the first month, he opened the doors of the house of Jehovah and repaired them.

vw@2Chronicles:29:7 @ They have also shut up the doors of the porch, put out the lamps, and have not burned incense or offered burnt offerings in the holy place unto the God of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:29:8 @ Therefore the wrath of Jehovah is upon Judah and Jerusalem, and He has given them up to trembling and terror, to horror, and to hissing, as you see with your eyes.

vw@2Chronicles:29:9 @ For behold, because of this our fathers have fallen by the sword; and our sons, our daughters, and our wives are in captivity.

vw@2Chronicles:29:10 @ Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Jehovah the God of Israel, that His fierce wrath may turn away from us.

vw@2Chronicles:29:12 @ Then these Levites rose up: Mahath the son of Amasai and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah and Eden the son of Joah;

vw@2Chronicles:29:17 @ And they began to consecrate on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the porch of Jehovah. Then they consecrated the house of Jehovah in eight days, and by the sixteenth day of the first month they had finished.

vw@2Chronicles:29:19 @ Moreover all the articles which King Ahaz in his reign had cast aside in his unfaithfulness we have prepared and consecrated; and behold, they are before the altar of Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:29:22 @ So they killed the bulls, and the priests received the blood and sprinkled it on the altar. Likewise they killed the rams and sprinkled the blood on the altar. They also killed the lambs and sprinkled the blood on the altar.

vw@2Chronicles:29:24 @ And the priests killed them; and they offered their blood on the altar as a sin offering to make atonement for all Israel; for the king had commanded the burnt offering and the sin offering for all Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:29:25 @ And he stationed the Levites in the house of Jehovah with cymbals, with lutes, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, of Gad the king’s seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for thus was the commandment of Jehovah by the hand of his prophets.

vw@2Chronicles:29:27 @ And Hezekiah commanded them to offer the burnt offering on the altar. And when the burnt offering began, the song of Jehovah also began, with the trumpets and by the hand of the instruments of David, king of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:29:28 @ So all the assembly bowed down, the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this until the burnt offering was finished.

vw@2Chronicles:29:29 @ And when they had finished offering, the king and all who were present with him bowed down and prostrated themselves.

vw@2Chronicles:29:30 @ Moreover King Hezekiah and the rulers commanded the Levites to praise Jehovah with the words of David and of Asaph the seer. So they praised with gladness, and they bowed down and prostrated themselves.

vw@2Chronicles:30:1 @ And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and also wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of Jehovah at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover unto Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:30:2 @ For the king and his rulers and all the assembly in Jerusalem had taken counsel to keep the Passover in the second month.

vw@2Chronicles:30:5 @ So they established a decree throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, that they should come to keep the Passover unto Jehovah the God of Israel at Jerusalem, for they had not done it for many days as it is written.

vw@2Chronicles:30:6 @ And the runners went throughout all Israel and Judah with the letters from the king and his rulers, and spoke according to the command of the king: O Children of Israel, return unto Jehovah the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel; then He will return to the remnant of you who have escaped from the hand of the kings of Assyria.

vw@2Chronicles:30:8 @ Now do not stiffen your necks, like your fathers, but give your hands unto Jehovah; and enter His sanctuary, which He has consecrated for all time, and serve Jehovah your God, that the fierceness of His wrath may turn away from you.

vw@2Chronicles:30:9 @ For if you return to Jehovah, your brethren and your children shall find compassion before those holding them captive, to come back to this land; for Jehovah your God is gracious and merciful, and will not turn His face from you if you return to Him.

vw@2Chronicles:30:18 @ For a multitude of the people, many from Ephraim, Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet they ate the Passover contrary to what was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, O good Jehovah, provide atonement for everyone

vw@2Chronicles:30:19 @ who has prepared his heart to seek God, Jehovah the God of his fathers, though not according to the purification of the sanctuary.

vw@2Chronicles:30:21 @ So the children of Israel found at Jerusalem kept the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with great joy; and the Levites and the priests were praising Jehovah day by day, with loud instruments unto Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:30:25 @ The whole assembly of Judah rejoiced, along with the priests and Levites, all the assembly that came from Israel, the sojourners who came from the land of Israel, and those dwelling in Judah.

vw@2Chronicles:30:26 @ So there was great joy in Jerusalem, for since the days of Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, there had been nothing like this in Jerusalem.

vw@2Chronicles:30:27 @ Then the priests, the Levites, rose up and blessed the people, and their voice was heard; and their prayer came up to His holy dwelling place, to the heavens.

vw@2Chronicles:31:1 @ Now when all this was finished, all Israel who were present went out to the cities of Judah and broke the sacred pillars in pieces, chopped down the groves, and threw down the high places and the altars; from all Judah, Benjamin, Ephraim, and Manasseh; until they had utterly destroyed them all. Then all the children of Israel returned to their own cities, each to his possession.

vw@2Chronicles:31:2 @ And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites according to their divisions, each man according to his service, the priests and Levites for burnt offerings and peace offerings, to serve, to give thanks, and to praise in the gates of the camp of Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:31:3 @ The king also appointed a portion of his possessions for the burnt offerings: for the morning and evening burnt offerings, the burnt offerings for the Sabbaths and the new moons and the set feasts, as it is written in the Law of Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:31:5 @ As soon as the word spread, the children of Israel brought in abundance the firstfruits of grain and wine, oil and honey, and of all the produce of the field; and they brought in abundantly the tithe of everything.

vw@2Chronicles:31:6 @ And the children of Israel and Judah, who dwelt in the cities of Judah, brought the tithe of oxen and sheep; also the tithe of holy things which were consecrated to Jehovah their God they laid in heaps upon heaps.

vw@2Chronicles:31:7 @ In the third month they began laying them in heaps, and they finished in the seventh month.

vw@2Chronicles:31:8 @ And when Hezekiah and the rulers came and saw the heaps, they blessed Jehovah and His people Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:31:10 @ And Azariah the chief priest, from the house of Zadok, answered him and said, Since the people began to bring the offerings into the house of Jehovah, we have had enough to eat and have plenty left, for Jehovah has blessed His people; and what is left is this great abundance.

vw@2Chronicles:31:12 @ And they faithfully brought in the offerings, the tithes, and the consecrated things; Cononiah the Levite had charge of them, and Shimei his brother was next.

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

vw@2Chronicles:31:14 @ Kore the son of Imnah the Levite, the keeper of the east gate, was over the freewill offerings to God, to distribute the offerings of Jehovah and the set apart, holy things.

vw@2Chronicles:31:15 @ And under him were Eden, Miniamin, Jeshua, Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shecaniah, trusted in the cities of the priests, to distribute to the divisions by the hand of their brethren, to the great as well as the small.

vw@2Chronicles:31:16 @ Besides those males from three years old and up who were reckoned by genealogy, they distributed to everyone who entered the house of Jehovah his portion day by day for the service of his charge, according to his division,

vw@2Chronicles:31:17 @ and to the priests who were reckoned by genealogy according to their father’s house, and to the Levites from twenty years old and up according to their charge, by their divisions,

vw@2Chronicles:31:19 @ Also for the sons of Aaron the priests, who were in the fields of the common lands of their cities, in each city, there were men who were designated by name to distribute portions to all the males among the priests and to all who were reckoned by genealogy among the Levites.

vw@2Chronicles:31:20 @ Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and true before Jehovah his God.

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

vw@2Chronicles:32:2 @ And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come, and that his purpose was to make war against Jerusalem,

vw@2Chronicles:32:3 @ he took counsel with his rulers and mighty men to stop the water from the springs which were outside the city; and they helped him.

vw@2Chronicles:32:5 @ And he strengthened himself, built up all the wall that was broken, raised it up to the towers, and built another wall outside; he also restored the Millo in the City of David, and made weapons and shields in abundance.

vw@2Chronicles:32:7 @ Be strong and courageous; do not be afraid nor dismayed before the king of Assyria, nor before all the multitude that is with him; for there are more with us than with him.

vw@2Chronicles:32:8 @ With him is an arm of flesh; but with us is Jehovah our God, to help us and to fight our battles. And the people were bolstered by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.

vw@2Chronicles:32:9 @ After this, Sennacherib king of Assyria sent his servants to Jerusalem (but he and all the forces with him laid siege against Lachish), to Hezekiah king of Judah, and to all Judah who were in Jerusalem, saying,

vw@2Chronicles:32:11 @ Is not Hezekiah enticing you to give yourselves over to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Jehovah our God will deliver us from the hand of the king of Assyria?

vw@2Chronicles:32:12 @ Has not the same Hezekiah taken away His high places and His altars, and commanded Judah and Jerusalem, saying, You shall bow down before one altar and burn incense on it?

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

vw@2Chronicles:32:15 @ Now therefore, do not let Hezekiah deceive you nor entice you like this, and do not believe him; for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand or the hand of my fathers. How much less will your God deliver you out of my hand.

vw@2Chronicles:32:16 @ Furthermore, his servants spoke against Jehovah God and against His servant Hezekiah.

vw@2Chronicles:32:17 @ He had also written letters to reproach Jehovah the God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah will not deliver His people from my hand.

vw@2Chronicles:32:18 @ Then they called out with a loud voice in the Jewish language to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them and terrify them, that they might capture the city.

vw@2Chronicles:32:20 @ Now because of this King Hezekiah and the prophet Isaiah, the son of Amoz, prayed and cried out to the heavens.

vw@2Chronicles:32:21 @ And Jehovah sent an angel who cut down every mighty man of valor, rulers, and commanders in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned shamefaced to his own land. And when he went into the house of his god, he fell by the sword of some of the offspring of his own body.

vw@2Chronicles:32:25 @ But Hezekiah did not return according to the favor shown him, for his heart had become haughty; therefore wrath was over him and over Judah and Jerusalem.

vw@2Chronicles:32:26 @ Then Hezekiah humbled himself for the haughtiness of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of Jehovah did not come upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

vw@2Chronicles:32:30 @ This same Hezekiah also stopped the water outlet of upper Gihon, and brought the water by tunnel to the west side of the City of David. And Hezekiah prospered in all his pursuits.

vw@2Chronicles:32:31 @ However, regarding the ambassadors of the rulers of Babylon, who were sent to him to inquire about the wonder that had happened in the land, God left him alone, to test him, to know all his heart.

vw@2Chronicles:32:32 @ Now the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and his goodness, 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.

vw@2Chronicles:32:33 @ So Hezekiah rested with his fathers, and they buried him in the upper tombs of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honored him at his death. And Manasseh his son reigned in his place.

vw@2Chronicles:33:2 @ And he did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, according to the abominations of the nations whom Jehovah had cast out before the children of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:33:3 @ For he rebuilt the high places which Hezekiah his father had broken down; he raised up altars for the Baals, and made groves; and he bowed down to all the host of the heavens and served them.

vw@2Chronicles:33:6 @ He also caused his sons to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; he practiced fortunetelling, witchcraft and sorcery, and consulted mediums and necromancers. He did much evil in the eyes of Jehovah, to provoke Him to anger.

vw@2Chronicles:33:7 @ And he set a graven image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had 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, I will put My name always;

vw@2Chronicles:33:8 @ and I will not again remove the foot of Israel from the land which I have appointed for your fathers; only if they take heed to do all that I have commanded them, according to the whole Law and the statutes and the ordinances by the hand of Moses.

vw@2Chronicles:33:9 @ So Manasseh caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go astray, to do more evil than the nations whom Jehovah had destroyed before the children of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:33:10 @ And Jehovah spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they would not listen.

vw@2Chronicles:33:12 @ And when he was in distress, he entreated Jehovah his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

vw@2Chronicles:33:13 @ and prayed to Him; and He was entreated of him, heard his supplication, and brought him back to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manasseh recognized that Jehovah was God.

vw@2Chronicles:33:14 @ After this he built a wall outside the City of David on the west side of Gihon, in the valley, as far as the entrance of the Fish Gate; and it encircled Ophel, and he raised it to a very great height. And he stationed commanders of the forces in all the fortified cities of Judah.

vw@2Chronicles:33:16 @ He also repaired the altar of Jehovah, sacrificed peace offerings and thank offerings on it, and commanded Judah to serve Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:33:18 @ Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, his prayer to his God, and the words of the seers who spoke to him in the name of Jehovah the God of Israel, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:33:19 @ Also his prayer and his entreaty, and all his sin and unfaithfulness, and the places where he built high places and set up groves and graven images, before he was humbled, behold, they are written among the sayings of the seers.

vw@2Chronicles:33:20 @ So Manasseh rested with his fathers, and they buried him in his own house. And his son Amon reigned in his place.

vw@2Chronicles:33:22 @ And he did evil in the eyes of Jehovah, as his father Manasseh had done; for Amon sacrificed to all the graven images which his father Manasseh had made, and served them.

vw@2Chronicles:33:23 @ And he did not humble himself before Jehovah, as his father Manasseh had humbled himself, but Amon exceeded his guilt.

vw@2Chronicles:33:24 @ Then his servants conspired against him, and killed him in his own house.

vw@2Chronicles:33:25 @ But the people of the land executed all those who had conspired against King Amon. And the people of the land made his son Josiah king in his place.

vw@2Chronicles:34:2 @ And he did what was right in the eyes of Jehovah, and walked in the ways of his father David; he did not turn aside to the right hand or to the left.

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

vw@2Chronicles:34:4 @ They broke down the altars of the Baals in his presence, and the incense altars which were above them he cut down; and the groves, the graven images, and the molten images he broke in pieces, and pulverized them and scattered them on the graves of those who had sacrificed to them.

vw@2Chronicles:34:7 @ When he had broken down the altars and the groves, had beaten the carved images into powder, and cut down all the incense altars throughout all the land of Israel, he returned to Jerusalem.

vw@2Chronicles:34:8 @ In the eighteenth year of his reign, when he had purged the land and the house, he sent Shaphan the son of Azaliah, Maaseiah the governor of the city, and Joah the son of Joahaz the recorder, to repair the house of Jehovah his God.

vw@2Chronicles:34:9 @ And when they came to Hilkiah the high priest, they delivered the money that was brought into the house of God, which the Levites who kept the doors had gathered from the hand of Manasseh and Ephraim, from all the remnant of Israel, from all Judah and Benjamin, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

vw@2Chronicles:34:12 @ And the men did the work faithfully. Their overseers were Jahath and Obadiah the Levites, of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, to supervise. Others of the Levites were teaching the instruments of song,

vw@2Chronicles:34:19 @ And it came about, when the king heard the Words of the Law, that he tore his clothes.

vw@2Chronicles:34:21 @ Go, inquire of Jehovah for me, and for those who are left in Israel and Judah, concerning the Words of the Book that has been found; for great is the wrath of Jehovah that has been poured out upon us, because our fathers have not kept the Word of Jehovah, to do according to all that is written in this Book.

vw@2Chronicles:34:22 @ So Hilkiah and those from the king went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, keeper of the wardrobe. (She was living in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter.) And they spoke to her regarding this.

vw@2Chronicles:34:23 @ And she answered them, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, Tell the man who has sent you to Me,

vw@2Chronicles:34:24 @ Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I am bringing evil upon this place and upon its inhabitants, all the curses that are written in the Book which they have read before the king of Judah,

vw@2Chronicles:34:25 @ because they have forsaken Me and burned incense to other gods, to provoke Me to anger with all the works of their hands. Therefore My wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and shall not be quenched.

vw@2Chronicles:34:26 @ But as for the king of Judah, who sent you to inquire of Jehovah, thus you shall speak to him, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, whose Words you have heard:

vw@2Chronicles:34:27 @ Because your heart has been tender, and you humbled yourself before God when you heard His Words against this place and against its inhabitants, and you humbled yourself before Me, and you tore your clothes and wept before Me, I also have heard you, says Jehovah.

vw@2Chronicles:34:28 @ Behold, I am gathering you to your fathers, and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace; and your eyes shall not see all the evil which I am bringing upon this place and its inhabitants. So they brought back word to the king.

vw@2Chronicles:34:31 @ And the king stood in his place and made a covenant before Jehovah, to walk after Jehovah, and to keep His commandments and His testimonies and His statutes with all his heart and all his soul, to do the Words of the covenant that were written in this Book.

vw@2Chronicles:34:33 @ And Josiah removed all the abominations from all the land of the children of Israel, and caused all who were found in Israel to serve, being subject unto Jehovah their God. All his days they did not depart from following Jehovah the God of their fathers.

vw@2Chronicles:35:3 @ And he said to the Levites who were teaching all Israel, who were set apart unto Jehovah: Put the holy ark in the house which Solomon the son of David, king of Israel, has built. It shall not be a burden on your shoulders. Now serve Jehovah your God and His people Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:35:4 @ Prepare yourselves according to your fathers’ houses, according to your divisions, according to the writings of David king of Israel and the writings of Solomon his son.

vw@2Chronicles:35:5 @ And stand in the holy place according to the divisions of the fathers’ houses of your brethren, the sons of the people, and according to the division of the father’s house of the Levites.

vw@2Chronicles:35:8 @ And his rulers contributed willingly to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. Hilkiah, Zechariah, and Jehiel, rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests two thousand six hundred Passover lambs, and three hundred oxen.

vw@2Chronicles:35:9 @ Also Conaniah, his brothers Shemaiah and Nethanel, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, chief of the Levites, contributed to the Levites five thousand Passover lambs, and five hundred oxen.

vw@2Chronicles:35:10 @ Thus the service was prepared, and the priests stood in their places, and the Levites in their divisions, according to the king’s command.

vw@2Chronicles:35:12 @ And they removed the burnt offerings to distribute them by the divisions of the fathers’ houses to the sons of the people, to offer unto Jehovah, as it is written in the Book of Moses; and also with the oxen.

vw@2Chronicles:35:17 @ And the children of Israel found there, kept the Passover at that time, and the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days.

vw@2Chronicles:35:18 @ And there had not been kept in Israel any Passover like that since the days of Samuel the prophet; and none of the kings of Israel had kept such a Passover as Josiah kept, with the priests and the Levites, all Judah and Israel found there, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

vw@2Chronicles:35:19 @ In the eighteenth year of the reign of Josiah this Passover was kept.

vw@2Chronicles:35:20 @ After all this, when Josiah had prepared the house, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight against Carchemish by the Euphrates; and Josiah went out to meet him.

vw@2Chronicles:35:21 @ But he sent messengers to him, saying, What have I to do with you, O king of Judah? I have not come against you this day, but against the house with which I have war; for God has commanded me to make haste. Refrain from meddling with God, who is with me, that you not be destroyed.

vw@2Chronicles:35:22 @ Nevertheless Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself so that he might fight with him, and did not heed the words of Necho from the mouth of God. So he came to fight in the Valley of Megiddo.

vw@2Chronicles:35:23 @ And the archers shot King Josiah; and the king said to his servants, Take me away, for I am severely wounded.

vw@2Chronicles:35:24 @ His servants therefore took him out of that chariot and put him in the second chariot that he had, and they brought him to Jerusalem. So he died, and was buried in the tombs of his fathers. And all Judah and Jerusalem mourned for Josiah.

vw@2Chronicles:35:25 @ Jeremiah also lamented for Josiah. And to this day all the singing men and the singing women speak of Josiah in their lamentations. They made it an ordinance in Israel; and behold, they are written in the Lamentations.

vw@2Chronicles:36:13 @ And he also rebelled against King Nebuchadnezzar, who had adjured him by God; but he stiffened his neck and hardened his heart against turning to Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@2Chronicles:36:15 @ And Jehovah the God of their fathers sent to them by the hand of His messengers, rising early to send them, because He had compassion on His people and on His dwelling place.

vw@2Chronicles:36:16 @ But they mocked the messengers of God, despised His words, and scoffed at His prophets, to make the wrath of Jehovah swell up against His people, till there was no healing.

vw@2Chronicles:36:17 @ Therefore He brought against them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their young men with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or virgin, on the aged or the weak; He gave them all into his hand.

vw@Ezra:3:10 @ When the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Jehovah, the priests stood in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with cymbals, to praise Jehovah, according to the ordinance of David king of Israel.

vw@Ezra:3:11 @ And they sang responsively, praising and giving thanks to Jehovah: For He is good, for His mercy is eternal toward Israel. Then all the people shouted with a great shout when they praised Jehovah, because the foundation of the house of Jehovah was laid.

vw@Ezra:3:12 @ But many of the priests and Levites and heads of the fathers, old men who had seen the first house, wept with a loud voice when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes. And many shouted aloud for joy,

vw@Ezra:3:13 @ so that the people could not discern the sound of the shout of joy from the sound of the weeping of the people, for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the sound was heard afar off.

vw@Ezra:4:1 @ Now when the adversaries of Judah and Benjamin heard that the sons of the captivity were building the temple of Jehovah the God of Israel,

vw@Ezra:4:3 @ But Zerubbabel and Jeshua and the rest of the heads of the fathers of Israel said to them, It is not for you to build a house for our God with us; but we ourselves together will build unto Jehovah the God of Israel, as King Cyrus the king of Persia has commanded us.

vw@Ezra:4:6 @ In the reign of Ahasuerus, in the beginning of his reign, they wrote an accusation against the inhabitants of Judah and Jerusalem.

vw@Ezra:4:7 @ And in the days of Artaxerxes, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabel, and the rest of their associates wrote to Artaxerxes king of Persia; and the letter was written in Aramaic, and translated from the Aramaic.

vw@Ezra:4:11 @ (This is a copy of the letter that they sent him) To King Artaxerxes from your servants, the men of the region beyond the River, and now:

vw@Ezra:4:12 @ Let it be known to the king that the Jews who came up from you have come to us at Jerusalem, and are building the rebellious and evil city, and are finishing its walls and repairing the foundations.

vw@Ezra:4:13 @ Let it now be known to the king, that if this city is rebuilt and the walls completed, they will not pay tax, tribute, or toll, and the king’s treasury will be damaged.

vw@Ezra:4:14 @ Now because we derive our subsistence from the palace, it was not proper for us to see the king’s dishonor; therefore we have sent and informed the king,

vw@Ezra:4:15 @ that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers; and you will find in the book of the records and know that this city is a rebellious city, harmful to kings and provinces, and that they have carried out revolts within the city in ancient times, for which cause this city was destroyed.

vw@Ezra:4:16 @ We inform the king that if this city is rebuilt and its walls are completed, then because of it you will have no possession beyond the River.

vw@Ezra:4:19 @ And I gave command, and a search has been made, and it was found that this city in ancient times has risen up against kings, and rebellion and revolt have been carried out in it.

vw@Ezra:4:21 @ Now give the command to make these men cease, that this city not be built until the command is given from me.

vw@Ezra:4:22 @ Take heed now that you do not fail to do this. Why should damage increase to the hurt of the kings?

vw@Ezra:4:24 @ Thus the work of the house of God which is at Jerusalem ceased, and it came to be ceased until the second year of the reign of Darius king of Persia.

vw@Ezra:5:1 @ Then the prophets, Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo, prophesied to the Jews who were in Judah and Jerusalem, in the name of the God of Israel, who was over them.

vw@Ezra:5:2 @ So Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and Jeshua the son of Jozadak rose up and began to build the house of God which is in Jerusalem; and the prophets of God were with them, helping them.

vw@Ezra:5:3 @ At the same time Tatnai the governor of the region beyond the River and Shethar-Boznai and their associates came to them and spoke thus to them: Who has commanded you to build this house and finish this wall?

vw@Ezra:5:4 @ And then spoke to them in this manner: What are the names of the men building this building?

vw@Ezra:5:5 @ But the eye of their God was upon the elders of the Jews, so that they could not make them cease till the matter should be brought before Darius. Then they replied by letter concerning this.

vw@Ezra:5:6 @ This is a copy of the letter that Tatnai, the governor of the region beyond the River, and Shethar-Boznai, and his associates, the Persians who were in the region beyond the River, sent to Darius the king.

vw@Ezra:5:8 @ Let it be known to the king that we went into the province of Judea, to the house of the great God, which is being built with rolling stones, and timber is being laid in the walls; and this work goes on diligently and prospers in their hands.

vw@Ezra:5:9 @ Then we asked those elders, and spoke thus to them: Who commanded you to build this house and to finish these walls?

vw@Ezra:5:11 @ And thus they returned an answer to us, saying: We are the servants of the God of Heaven and earth, and we are rebuilding the house that was built many years ago, which a great king of Israel built and completed.

vw@Ezra:5:12 @ But because our fathers provoked the God of Heaven to wrath, He gave them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, the Chaldean, who has destroyed this house and carried the people away to Babylon.

vw@Ezra:5:13 @ However, in the first year of Cyrus king of Babylon, King Cyrus issued a decree to build this house of God.

vw@Ezra:5:16 @ Then that same Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundation of the house of God in Jerusalem; but from that time even until now it has been building, and it is not yet finished.

vw@Ezra:5:17 @ Now therefore, if it seems good to the king, let a search be made in the king’s treasure house, which is there in Babylon, to find out whether it is so that a decree was issued by King Cyrus to build this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send us his will concerning this matter.

vw@Ezra:6:1 @ Then King Darius issued a decree, and a search was made in the house of the scrolls, where the treasures were stored in Babylon.

vw@Ezra:6:2 @ And at Achmetha, in the palace that is in the province of Media, a scroll was found, and in it a record was written thus:

vw@Ezra:6:3 @ In the first year of King Cyrus, King Cyrus issued a decree concerning the house of God at Jerusalem: Let the house be rebuilt, the place where they offered sacrifices; and let the foundations of it be firmly laid, its height sixty cubits and its width sixty cubits,

vw@Ezra:6:7 @ Let the work of this house of God alone; let the governor of the Jews and the elders of the Jews build this house of God on its place.

vw@Ezra:6:8 @ Moreover I issue a decree as to what you shall do for the elders of these Jews, for the building of this house of God: Let the king’s riches from the tribute of the region beyond the River be diligently given to these men for their expenses, so that they are not hindered.

vw@Ezra:6:10 @ that they may offer sacrifices of soothing aroma unto the God of Heaven, and pray for the life of the king and his sons.

vw@Ezra:6:11 @ Also I issue a decree that whoever alters this edict, let a timber be pulled from his house and erected, and let him be hanged on it; and let his house be made a refuse heap for this.

vw@Ezra:6:12 @ And may the God who causes His name to dwell there destroy any king or people who put their hand to alter it, or to destroy this house of God which is in Jerusalem. I, Darius, issue a decree; let it be done diligently.

vw@Ezra:6:14 @ So the elders of the Jews built, and they prospered through the prophesying of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah the son of Iddo. And they built and finished it, according to the commandment of the God of Israel, and according to the command of Cyrus, Darius, and Artaxerxes, kings of Persia.

vw@Ezra:6:15 @ And the house was finished on the third day of the month of Adar, which was in the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.

vw@Ezra:6:16 @ Then the children of Israel, the priests and the Levites and the rest of the sons of the captivity, carried out the dedication of this house of God with joy.

vw@Ezra:6:17 @ And they offered at the dedication of this house of God, one hundred bulls, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs, and as a sin offering for all Israel twelve male goats, according to the number of the tribes of Israel.

vw@Ezra:6:18 @ They assigned the priests to their divisions and the Levites to their divisions, over the service of God in Jerusalem, as it is written in the book of Moses.

vw@Ezra:6:21 @ Then the children of Israel who had returned from the captivity ate together with all who had separated themselves from the uncleanness of the nations of the land in order to seek Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@Ezra:6:22 @ And they observed the Feast of Unleavened Bread seven days with joy; for Jehovah had made them joyful, and had turned the heart of the king of Assyria toward them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.

vw@Ezra:7:5 @ the son of Abishua, the son of Phinehas, the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the chief priest;

vw@Ezra:7:6 @ this Ezra came up from Babylon; and he was a skilled scribe in the Law of Moses, which Jehovah the God of Israel had given. The king granted him all his request, according to the hand of Jehovah his God upon him.

vw@Ezra:7:7 @ Some of the children of Israel, the priests, the Levites, the singers, the gatekeepers, and the temple slaves came up to Jerusalem in the seventh year of King Artaxerxes.

vw@Ezra:7:9 @ On the first day of the first month he began his journey from Babylon, and on the first day of the fifth month he came to Jerusalem, according to the good hand of his God upon him.

vw@Ezra:7:10 @ For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the Law of Jehovah, and to do it, and to teach the statutes and ordinances in Israel.

vw@Ezra:7:11 @ This is a copy of the letter that King Artaxerxes gave Ezra the priest, the scribe, expert in the words of the commandments of Jehovah, and of His statutes to Israel:

vw@Ezra:7:13 @ I issue a decree that all those of the people of Israel and the priests and Levites in my realm, who volunteer to go up to Jerusalem, may go with you.

vw@Ezra:7:14 @ And whereas you are being sent by the king and his seven counselors to inquire concerning Judah and Jerusalem, with regard to the Law of your God which is in your hand;

vw@Ezra:7:15 @ and whereas you are to carry the silver and gold which the king and his counselors have freely offered to the God of Israel, whose dwelling is in Jerusalem;

vw@Ezra:7:17 @ now therefore, be diligent to buy with this money bulls, rams, and lambs, with their grain offerings and their drink offerings, and offer them on the altar of the house of your God in Jerusalem.

vw@Ezra:7:21 @ And I, even I, Artaxerxes the king, issue a decree to all the treasurers beyond the River, that whatever Ezra the priest, the scribe of the Law of the God of Heaven, may require of you, let it be done diligently,

vw@Ezra:7:23 @ Whatever is commanded by the God of Heaven, let it diligently be done for the house of the God of Heaven. For why should there be wrath against the realm of the king and his sons?

vw@Ezra:7:24 @ Also we inform you that it shall not be lawful to impose tax, tribute, or toll upon any of the priests, Levites, singers, gatekeepers, temple slaves, or servants of this house of God.

vw@Ezra:7:25 @ And you, Ezra, according to the wisdom of your God in your hand, appoint magistrates and judges who may judge all the people who are beyond the River, all such as know the Laws of your God; and teach those who do not know them.

vw@Ezra:7:26 @ Whoever will not observe the Law of your God and the law of the king, let judgment be executed diligently upon him, whether it be death, or banishment, or confiscation of goods, or imprisonment.

vw@Ezra:7:27 @ Blessed be Jehovah the God of our fathers, who has put such a thing as this into the king’s heart, to beautify the house of Jehovah in Jerusalem,

vw@Ezra:7:28 @ and has extended mercy to me before the king and his counselors, and before all the king’s mighty rulers. So I was encouraged, as the hand of Jehovah my God was upon me; and I gathered chief men of Israel to go up with me.

vw@Ezra:8:1 @ These are the heads of their fathers, and this is the genealogy of those who went up with me from Babylon, in the reign of King Artaxerxes:

vw@Ezra:8:3 @ of the sons of Shecaniah, of the sons of Parosh, Zechariah; and registered with him were one hundred and fifty males;

vw@Ezra:8:17 @ And I gave them a command for Iddo, chief of the place Casiphia, and I put words in their mouth to speak to Iddo and his brethren the temple slaves at the place Casiphia; that they should bring to us servants for the house of our God.

vw@Ezra:8:18 @ Then, by the good hand of our God upon us, they brought us a man of understanding, of the sons of Mahli the son of Levi, the son of Israel, namely Sherebiah, with his sons and brothers, eighteen;

vw@Ezra:8:19 @ and Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;

vw@Ezra:8:22 @ For I was ashamed to request of the king troops and horsemen to help us against the enemy along the road, because we had spoken to the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all those for good who seek Him, but His power and His wrath are against all those who forsake Him.

vw@Ezra:8:23 @ So we fasted and entreated our God for this, and He was entreated of us.

vw@Ezra:8:25 @ and weighed out to them the silver, the gold, and the articles, the offering for the house of our God which the king and his counselors and his rulers, and all Israel who were present, had contributed.

vw@Ezra:8:27 @ twenty gold basins worth a thousand drachmas, and two vessels of fine polished bronze, precious as gold.

vw@Ezra:8:29 @ Watch and keep them until you weigh them before the chief of the priests and the Levites and heads of the fathers of Israel in Jerusalem, in the chambers of the house of Jehovah.

vw@Ezra:8:35 @ The children of those who had been carried away captive, who had come from the captivity, offered burnt offerings to the God of Israel: twelve bulls for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve male goats as a sin offering. All this was a burnt offering unto Jehovah.

vw@Ezra:9:1 @ When these things were done, the rulers came to me, saying, The people of Israel and the priests and the Levites have not separated themselves from the peoples of the lands, with respect to the abominations of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

vw@Ezra:9:2 @ For they have taken some of their daughters for themselves and their sons, so that the holy seed is mixed with the peoples of those lands. Indeed, the hand of the rulers and officials has been foremost in this treachery.

vw@Ezra:9:3 @ So when I heard this thing, I tore my garment and my robe, and plucked out some of the hair of my head and beard, and sat down astonished.

vw@Ezra:9:4 @ Then everyone who trembled at the Words of the God of Israel assembled to me, because of the treachery of those who had been carried away captive, and I sat astonished until the evening sacrifice.

vw@Ezra:9:7 @ Since the days of our fathers to this day we have been in great guilt, and for our iniquities we, our kings, and our priests have been delivered into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity, to plunder, and to shame of faces, to this day.

vw@Ezra:9:8 @ And now for a little while grace has been shown from Jehovah our God, to leave us a remnant to escape, and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and give us a little reviving in our bondage.

vw@Ezra:9:10 @ And now, O our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken Your commandments,

vw@Ezra:9:11 @ which You have commanded by Your servants the prophets, saying, The land which you are entering to possess is an unclean land, with the impurity of the peoples of the lands, with their abominations which have filled it from end to end with their uncleanness.

vw@Ezra:9:13 @ And after all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and for our great guilt, since You our God have held back from the bending down in punishment of our iniquities, and have given us such deliverance as this,

vw@Ezra:9:14 @ should we again break Your commandments, and join in marriage with the people of these abominations? Would You not be angry with us until You had finished us off, so that there would be no remnant or escapee?

vw@Ezra:9:15 @ O Jehovah the God of Israel, You are righteous, for we are left as refugees, as it is this day. Here we are before You, in our guilt, for no one can stand before You because of this!

vw@Ezra:10:1 @ Now while Ezra was praying, and while he was confessing, weeping, and falling prostrate before the house of God, a very large assembly of men, women, and children gathered to him out of Israel; for the people wept with a great weeping.

vw@Ezra:10:2 @ And Shechaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answered and said to Ezra, We have trespassed against our God, and are dwelling with foreign women from the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope in Israel in spite of this.

vw@Ezra:10:4 @ Arise, for this matter is up to you. We also are with you. Be strong, and do it.

vw@Ezra:10:5 @ Then Ezra arose, and made the chief priests, the Levites, and all Israel swear an oath that they would do according to this word. So they swore.

vw@Ezra:10:7 @ And they issued a proclamation throughout Judah and Jerusalem to all the sons of the captivity, to assemble at Jerusalem,

vw@Ezra:10:8 @ and that whoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the rulers and elders, all his property would be destroyed, and he himself would be excluded from the assembly of those from the captivity.

vw@Ezra:10:9 @ So all the men of Judah and Benjamin gathered at Jerusalem within three days. It was the ninth month, on the twentieth of the month; and all the people sat in the open square of the house of God, trembling because of this matter and because of the heavy rain.

vw@Ezra:10:10 @ Then Ezra the priest stood up and said to them, You have transgressed and have dwelt with foreign women, adding to the guilt of Israel.

vw@Ezra:10:11 @ Now therefore, make confession to Jehovah the God of your fathers, and do His will; separate yourselves from the peoples of the land, and from the foreign women.

vw@Ezra:10:13 @ But there are many people; it is the season for heavy rain, and we are not able to stand outside. Nor is this the work of one or two days, for there are many of us who have transgressed in this matter.

vw@Ezra:10:14 @ Please, let our rulers be appointed out of the whole assembly; and let all those in our cities who have dwelt with foreign women come at appointed times, together with the elders and judges of their cities, until the fierce wrath of our God in this matter is turned away from us.

vw@Ezra:10:15 @ Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahaziah the son of Tikvah stood against this, and Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supported them.

vw@Ezra:10:17 @ By the first day of the first month they finished investigating all the men who had dwelt with foreign women.

vw@Ezra:10:18 @ And among the sons of the priests who had dwelt with foreign women, the following were found of the sons of Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brothers: Maaseiah, Eliezer, Jarib, and Gedaliah.

vw@Ezra:10:22 @ of the sons of Pashhur: Elioenai, Maaseiah, Ishmael, Nethanel, Jozabad, and Elasah.

vw@Ezra:10:23 @ Also of the Levites: Jozabad, Shimei, Kelaiah (the same is Kelita), Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer.

vw@Ezra:10:25 @ And others of Israel: of the sons of Parosh: Ramiah, Jeziah, Malchiah, Mijamin, Eleazar, Malchijah, and Benaiah;

vw@Ezra:10:31 @ of the sons of Harim: Eliezer, Ishijah, Malchijah, Shemaiah, Shimeon,

vw@Nehemiah:1:1 @ The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. It came to pass in the month of Chislev, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,

vw@Nehemiah:1:3 @ And they said to me, The survivors who are left from the captivity in the province are there in great distress and reproach. The wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and its gates have been burned with fire.

vw@Nehemiah:1:6 @ Let Your ear be attentive and Your eyes open, that You may hear the prayer of Your servant which I pray before You now, day and night, for the children of Israel Your servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel which we have sinned against You. Both my father’s house and I have sinned.

vw@Nehemiah:1:9 @ but if you return to Me, and keep My commandments and do them, though you were cast out to the ends of the heavens, yet I will gather them from there, and bring them to the place where I have chosen to establish My name.

vw@Nehemiah:1:11 @ O Lord, I beseech You, let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant, and to the prayer of Your servants who delight to fear Your name; and give Your servant success this day, and grant him mercy before this man. For I was the king’s cupbearer.

vw@Nehemiah:2:1 @ And it came to pass in the month of Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, when wine was before him, that I took the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had never been sad in his presence before.

vw@Nehemiah:2:2 @ Therefore the king said to me, Why is your face sad, since you are not sick? This is nothing but sorrow of heart. Then I was very much afraid,

vw@Nehemiah:2:10 @ When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant the Ammonite, heard of it, it made them shudder over the great evil, that a man had come to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.

vw@Nehemiah:2:17 @ Then I said to them, You see the distress that we are in, how Jerusalem lies waste, and its gates are burned with fire. Come and let us build the wall of Jerusalem, that we may no longer be a reproach.

vw@Nehemiah:2:18 @ And I told them of the hand of my God which had been good upon me, and also of the king’s words that he had spoken to me. Then they said, Let us rise up and build. So they encouraged their hands for this good work.

vw@Nehemiah:2:19 @ But when Sanballat the Horonite, Tobiah the servant the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arab heard of it, they mocked and despised us, and said, What is this thing that you are doing? Will you rebel against the king?

vw@Nehemiah:2:20 @ So I answered them, and said to them, The God of Heaven Himself will prosper us; therefore we His servants will arise and build, but you have no portion or right or memorial in Jerusalem.

vw@Nehemiah:3:1 @ Then Eliashib the high priest rose up with his brethren the priests and built the Sheep Gate; they consecrated it and set up its doors. As far as the Tower of Meah, they consecrated it; even as far as the Tower of Hananel.

vw@Nehemiah:3:3 @ Also the sons of Hassenaah built the Fish Gate; they laid its beams and set up its doors with its bolts and bars.

vw@Nehemiah:3:9 @ And next to them Rephaiah the son of Hur, ruler of half the district of Jerusalem, made repairs.

vw@Nehemiah:3:10 @ Next to them Jedaiah the son of Harumaph made repairs in front of his house. And next to him Hattush the son of Hashabniah made repairs.

vw@Nehemiah:3:12 @ And next to him was Shallum the son of Hallohesh, ruler of half the district of Jerusalem; he and his daughters made repairs.

vw@Nehemiah:3:14 @ Malchijah the son of Rechab, ruler of the district of Beth-haccerem, repaired the Refuse Gate; he built it and set up its doors with its bolts and bars.

vw@Nehemiah:3:15 @ Shallun the son of Col-Hozeh, ruler of the district of Mizpah, repaired the Fountain Gate; he built it, covered it, set up its doors with its bolts and bars, and repaired the wall of the Pool of Shelah by the King’s Garden, as far as the stairs that go down from the City of David.

vw@Nehemiah:3:16 @ After him Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, ruler of half the district of Beth Zur, made repairs as far as the place in front of the Tombs of David, to the pool that was made, and as far as the House of the Mighty.

vw@Nehemiah:3:17 @ After him the Levites, under Rehum the son of Bani, made repairs. Next to him Hashabiah, ruler of half the district of Keilah, made repairs in his district.

vw@Nehemiah:3:18 @ After him their brethren, under Bavai the son of Henadad, ruler of the other half of the district of Keilah, made repairs.

vw@Nehemiah:3:23 @ After them Benjamin and Hasshub made repairs across from their house. After them Azariah the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ananiah, made repairs by his house.

vw@Nehemiah:3:25 @ Palal the son of Uzai made repairs across from the buttress, and on the tower which projects out from the king’s upper house that was by the court of the prison. After him Pedaiah the son of Parosh made repairs.

vw@Nehemiah:3:28 @ Beyond the Horse Gate the priests made repairs, each in front of his own house.

vw@Nehemiah:3:29 @ After them Zadok the son of Immer made repairs in front of his own house. After him Shemaiah the son of Shechaniah, the keeper of the East Gate, made repairs.

vw@Nehemiah:3:30 @ After him Hananiah the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun, the sixth son of Zalaph, repaired another section. After him Meshullam the son of Berechiah made repairs in front of his room.

vw@Nehemiah:4:2 @ And he spoke before his brethren and the army of Samaria, and said, What are these feeble Jews doing? Will they fortify themselves? Will they offer sacrifices? Will they complete it in a day? Will they revive the stones from the heaps of rubbish; stones that are burned?

vw@Nehemiah:4:4 @ Hear, O our God, for we are despised; turn their reproach upon their own heads, and give them as spoils to a land of captivity.

vw@Nehemiah:4:10 @ Then Judah said, The strength of the laborers is stumbling, and there is so much rubbish that we are not able to build the wall.

vw@Nehemiah:4:15 @ And it happened, when our enemies heard that it was known to us, and that God had broken their counsel, that all of us returned to the wall, each one to his work.

vw@Nehemiah:4:18 @ Every one who was building had his sword girded at his side as he built. And the one who sounded the shofar was beside me.

vw@Nehemiah:4:19 @ Then I said to the nobles, the rulers, and the rest of the people, The work is great and extensive, and we are separated far from one another on the wall.

vw@Nehemiah:4:21 @ So we did the work, and half of the men held the spears from the rising of the dawn until the stars came out.

vw@Nehemiah:4:22 @ At the same time I also said to the people, Let each man and his servant lodge inside Jerusalem, that they may be a guard to us by night and workers by day.

vw@Nehemiah:5:5 @ Yet now our flesh is as the flesh of our brethren, our children as their children; and indeed we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters have been brought into slavery. It is not in our power to redeem them, for other men have our fields and vineyards.

vw@Nehemiah:5:7 @ After serious thought, I rebuked the nobles and rulers, and said to them, Each of you is exacting usury from his brother. So I appointed a great assembly against them.

vw@Nehemiah:5:9 @ Then I said, What you are doing is not good. Should you not walk in the fear of our God because of the reproach of the nations, our enemies?

vw@Nehemiah:5:10 @ I also, with my brethren and my servants, am lending them money and grain. Now let us leave off this usury!

vw@Nehemiah:5:11 @ Restore now to them, even this day, their fields, their vineyards, their olive groves, and their houses, also a hundredth of the money and the grain, the new wine and the oil, that you have charged them.

vw@Nehemiah:5:12 @ So they said, We will restore it, and will require nothing from them; we will do as you say. Then I called the priests, and caused them to swear that they would do according to this word.

vw@Nehemiah:5:13 @ I also shook out empty the bosom of my garment and said, So may God shake out each man from his house, and from his property, who does not carry out this word. Even thus may he be shaken out and emptied. And all the assembly said, Amen! and praised Jehovah. Then the people did according to this word.

vw@Nehemiah:5:16 @ Indeed, I also prevailed in the work of this wall, and we did not buy any land. All my servants were gathered there for the work.

vw@Nehemiah:5:18 @ Now that which was prepared daily was one ox and six choice sheep. Also fowl were prepared for me, and once every ten days an abundance of all kinds of wine. Yet in all of this I did not demand the food of the governor, because the labor was heavy on this people.

vw@Nehemiah:5:19 @ Remember me, my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.

vw@Nehemiah:6:4 @ But they sent me this message four times, and I answered them in the same manner.

vw@Nehemiah:6:5 @ Then Sanballat sent his servant to me as before, the fifth time, with an open letter in his hand.

vw@Nehemiah:6:6 @ In it was written: It is reported among the nations, and Geshem says, that you and the Jews plan to rebel; for which reason, according to these rumors, you are rebuilding the wall, that you may be their king.

vw@Nehemiah:6:7 @ And you have also appointed prophets to proclaim concerning you at Jerusalem, saying, There is a king in Judah! Now these matters will be reported to the king. So come, therefore, and let us consult together.

vw@Nehemiah:6:11 @ And I said, Should such a man as I flee? And who is there such as I who would go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in!

vw@Nehemiah:6:12 @ Then I perceived that God had not sent him, but that he had spoken this prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

vw@Nehemiah:6:13 @ For this reason he was hired, that I should be afraid and do accordingly and sin, to make for a bad reputation, that they might reproach me.

vw@Nehemiah:6:16 @ And it came to pass when all our enemies heard of it, and all the nations around us saw these things, that they were cast down in their own eyes; for they perceived that this work had been done by our God.

vw@Nehemiah:6:18 @ For many in Judah were pledged to him, because he was the son-in-law of Shechaniah the son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had taken in marriage the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.

vw@Nehemiah:6:19 @ They also reported his good deeds before me, and were delivering my words to him. Tobiah sent letters to make me afraid.

vw@Nehemiah:7:3 @ And I said to them, Do not let the gates of Jerusalem be opened until the sun is hot; and while they stand guard, let them shut and bar the doors; and appoint guards from among the inhabitants of Jerusalem, each one at his post, each across from his house.

vw@Nehemiah:7:5 @ Then my God put it into my heart to gather the nobles, the rulers, and the people, that they might be registered by genealogy. And I found a register of the genealogy of those who had come up in the first return, and found written in it:

vw@Nehemiah:7:6 @ These are the people of the province who came back from the captivity, of those who had been carried away, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah, everyone to his city.

vw@Nehemiah:7:7 @ Those who came with Zerubbabel were Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, and Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

vw@Nehemiah:7:52 @ the sons of Besai, the sons of Meunim, the sons of Nephishesim,

vw@Nehemiah:7:55 @ the sons of Barkos, the sons of Sisera, the sons of Tamah,

vw@Nehemiah:7:61 @ And these were the ones who came up from Tel Melah, Tel Harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer, but they could not declare their father’s house nor their seed, whether they were of Israel:

vw@Nehemiah:7:64 @ These sought their listing among those who were registered by genealogy, but it was not found; therefore they were considered desecrated, and excluded from the priesthood.

vw@Nehemiah:7:73 @ So the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple slaves, and all Israel dwelt in their cities. When the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their cities.

vw@Nehemiah:8:1 @ Now all the people gathered together as one man in the open square that was in front of the Water Gate; and they commanded Ezra the scribe to bring the Book of the Law of Moses, which Jehovah had charged Israel.

vw@Nehemiah:8:4 @ So Ezra the scribe stood on a platform of wood which they had made for the purpose; and beside him, at his right hand, stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Urijah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah; and at his left hand Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam.

vw@Nehemiah:8:8 @ So they read distinctly from the book, in the Law of God; and they gave the sense, and helped them to understand the reading.

vw@Nehemiah:8:9 @ And Nehemiah, who was the governor, Ezra the priest and scribe, and the Levites who taught the people said to all the people, This day is holy to Jehovah your God; do not mourn nor weep. For all the people wept, when they heard the Words of the Law.

vw@Nehemiah:8:10 @ Then he said to them, Go your way, eat the fat, drink the sweet, and send portions to those for whom nothing is prepared; for this day is holy to our Lord. Do not sorrow, for the joy of Jehovah is your refuge.

vw@Nehemiah:8:11 @ So the Levites quieted all the people, saying, Be still, for the day is holy; do not be grieved.

vw@Nehemiah:8:14 @ And they found written in the Law, which Jehovah had commanded by the hand of Moses, that the children of Israel should dwell in booths during the feast of the seventh month,

vw@Nehemiah:8:15 @ and that they should announce and proclaim in all their cities and in Jerusalem, saying, Go out to the mountain, and bring olive foliage, foliage of oil trees, myrtle foliage, palm foliage, and foliage of leafy trees, to make booths, as it is written.

vw@Nehemiah:8:17 @ So the whole assembly of those who had returned from the captivity made booths and sat under the booths; for since the days of Joshua the son of Nun until that day the children of Israel had not done so. And there was very great gladness.

vw@Nehemiah:9:1 @ Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel were assembled with fasting, in sackcloth, and earth upon them.

vw@Nehemiah:9:2 @ Then the seed of Israel separated themselves from the children of the foreigners; and they stood and confessed their sins and the iniquities of their fathers.

vw@Nehemiah:9:5 @ And the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah, said: Stand up and bless Jehovah your God forever and ever! Blessed is Your glorious name, which is exalted above all blessing and praise!

vw@Nehemiah:9:6 @ You alone are Jehovah; You have made the heavens, the Heaven of the heavens, with all their host, the earth and everything on it, the seas and all that is in them, and You preserve them all alive. The host of the Heavens bow down before You.

vw@Nehemiah:9:8 @ You found his heart faithful before You, and made a covenant with him to give the land of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, and the Girgashites; to give it to his seed. You have performed Your words, for You are just.

vw@Nehemiah:9:10 @ You gave signs and wonders upon Pharaoh, upon all his servants, and upon all the people of his land. For You knew that they had acted proudly against them. So You made a name for Yourself, as it is this day.

vw@Nehemiah:9:15 @ You gave them bread from the heavens for their hunger, and brought forth water for them out of the rock for their thirst, and intended for them to go in to possess the land which You had raised Your hand and sworn to give them.

vw@Nehemiah:9:18 @ Even when they made a molten calf for themselves, and said, This is your god that brought you up out of Egypt, and worked great blasphemies;

vw@Nehemiah:9:22 @ Moreover You gave them kingdoms and nations, and divided them into districts. So they took possession of the land of Sihon, the land of the king of Heshbon, and the land of Og king of Bashan.

vw@Nehemiah:9:26 @ Nevertheless they were disobedient and rebelled against You, cast Your Law behind their backs and killed Your prophets, who testified against them to turn them to Yourself; and they worked great blasphemies.

vw@Nehemiah:9:27 @ Therefore You delivered them into the hand of their enemies, who distressed them; and in the time of their trouble, when they cried out to You, You heard from Heaven; and according to Your abundant mercies You gave them deliverers who saved them out of the hand of their enemies.

vw@Nehemiah:9:30 @ Yet for many years You had patience with them, and testified against them by Your Spirit by the hand of Your prophets. Yet they would not listen; therefore You gave them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.

vw@Nehemiah:9:32 @ Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and awesome Mighty God, who keeps covenant and mercy: Do not let all the trouble seem small before You that has found us, our kings and our rulers, our priests and our prophets, our fathers and all Your people, since the days of the kings of Assyria until this day.

vw@Nehemiah:9:36 @ Here we are, servants this day! And the land that You gave to our fathers, to eat its fruit and its bounty; behold, we are servants in it.

vw@Nehemiah:9:37 @ And it yields much increase to the kings You have set over us, because of our sins; also they have dominion over our bodies and our cattle at their pleasure; and we are in great distress.

vw@Nehemiah:9:38 @ And because of all this, we are making a covenant in good faith, and writing it; sealed by our rulers, our Levites, and our priests.

vw@Nehemiah:10:29 @ these joined with their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse and an oath to walk in God’s Law, which was given by the hand of Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of Jehovah our Lord, and His ordinances and His statutes:

vw@Nehemiah:10:32 @ Also we established a command for ourselves, to designate from ourselves yearly one-third of a shekel for the service of the house of our God:

vw@Nehemiah:10:33 @ for the Bread in Rows, for the continual grain offering, for the continual burnt offering of the Sabbaths, the New Moons, and the set feasts; for the holy things, for the sin offerings to make atonement for Israel, and all the work of the house of our God.

vw@Nehemiah:10:34 @ We cast lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for bringing the wood offering into the house of our God, according to our fathers’ houses, at the appointed times year by year, to burn on the altar of Jehovah our God as it is written in the Law.

vw@Nehemiah:10:36 @ to bring the firstborn of our sons and our cattle, as it is written in the Law, and the firstborn of our herds and our flocks, to the house of our God, to the priests who minister in the house of our God;

vw@Nehemiah:10:39 @ For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the offering of the grain, of the new wine and the oil, to the rooms where the articles of the sanctuary are, where the priests who minister and the gatekeepers and the singers are; and we will not neglect the house of our God.

vw@Nehemiah:11:3 @ These are the heads of the province who dwelt in Jerusalem. (But in the cities of Judah everyone dwelt in his own possession in their cities; Israelites, priests, Levites, temple slaves, and sons of Solomon’s servants.)

vw@Nehemiah:11:13 @ and his brethren, heads of the fathers, were two hundred and forty-two; and Amashai the son of Azarel, the son of Ahzai, the son of Meshillemoth, the son of Immer,

vw@Nehemiah:11:17 @ Mattaniah the son of Micha, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, the leader who began the thanksgiving with prayer; Bakbukiah, the second among his brethren; and Abda the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.

vw@Nehemiah:11:20 @ And the rest of Israel, of the priests and Levites, were in all the cities of Judah, everyone in his inheritance.

vw@Nehemiah:11:21 @ But the temple slaves dwelt in Ophel. And Ziha and Gishpa were over the temple slaves.

vw@Nehemiah:11:30 @ Zanoah, Adullam, and their villages; in Lachish and its fields; in Azekah and its villages. They dwelt from Beer-sheba to the Valley of Hinnom.

vw@Nehemiah:11:36 @ Some of the divisions of the Levites of Judah were in Benjamin.

vw@Nehemiah:12:8 @ Moreover the Levites were Jeshua, Binnui, Kadmiel, Sherebiah, Judah, and Mattaniah who led the songs of praise, he and his brethren.

vw@Nehemiah:12:24 @ And the heads of the Levites were Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brothers next to them, to praise and give thanks, group next to group, according to the command of David the man of God.

vw@Nehemiah:12:36 @ and his brethren, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah, and Hanani, with the instruments of song of David the man of God. And Ezra the scribe went before them.

vw@Nehemiah:12:39 @ and above the Gate of Ephraim, above the Old Gate, above the Fish Gate, the Tower of Hananel, the Tower of Meah, as far as the Sheep Gate; and they stood still by the Gate of the Prison.

vw@Nehemiah:12:40 @ So the two thanksgiving choirs stood in the house of God, likewise I and half the rulers with me;

vw@Nehemiah:12:43 @ Also that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women and the children also rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard even at a distance.

vw@Nehemiah:12:44 @ And at the same time some were appointed over the rooms of the storehouse for the offerings, the firstfruits, and the tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who ministered.

vw@Nehemiah:12:45 @ Both the singers and the gatekeepers kept the charge of their God and the charge of the purification, according to the command of David and Solomon his son.

vw@Nehemiah:12:46 @ For in the days of David and Asaph of old there were heads of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgiving to God.

vw@Nehemiah:12:47 @ In the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah all Israel gave the portions for the singers and the gatekeepers, a portion for each day. They also consecrated holy things for the Levites, and the Levites consecrated them for the sons of Aaron.

vw@Nehemiah:13:2 @ because they had not met the children of Israel with bread and water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them. However, our God turned the curse into a blessing.

vw@Nehemiah:13:3 @ So it was, when they had heard the Law, that they separated all the mixed multitude from Israel.

vw@Nehemiah:13:4 @ Now before this, Eliashib the priest, being entrusted with the rooms of the house of our God, being related to Tobiah,

vw@Nehemiah:13:6 @ But during all this I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon, I had come to the king. Then after certain days I obtained leave from the king,

vw@Nehemiah:13:10 @ I also perceived that the portions for the Levites had not been given them; for each of the Levites and the singers who did the work had fled to his field.

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

vw@Nehemiah:13:13 @ And I appointed as treasurers over the storehouse Shelemiah the priest and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah; and next to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were considered faithful, and their task was to distribute to their brethren.

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

vw@Nehemiah:13:15 @ In those days I saw people in Judah treading wine presses on the Sabbath, and bringing in sheaves, and loading donkeys with wine, grapes, figs, and all kinds of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. And I admonished them about the day on which they were selling food.

vw@Nehemiah:13:16 @ Men of Tyre dwelt there also, who brought in fish and all kinds of merchandise, and sold them on the Sabbath to the children of Judah, even in Jerusalem.

vw@Nehemiah:13:17 @ Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and said to them, What evil thing is this that you do, profaning the Sabbath day?

vw@Nehemiah:13:18 @ Did not your fathers do thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us and upon this city? Yet you bring added wrath upon Israel by profaning the Sabbath!

vw@Nehemiah:13:20 @ So the merchants and sellers of all kinds of merchandise lodged outside Jerusalem once or twice.

vw@Nehemiah:13:22 @ And I commanded the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should go and guard the gates, to consecrate the Sabbath day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this also, and spare me according to the greatness of Your mercy.

vw@Nehemiah:13:24 @ And half of their children spoke the language of Ashdod, and could not speak the Jewish language, but according to the tongue of nation to nation.

vw@Nehemiah:13:26 @ Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among many nations there was no king like him, who was beloved of his God; and God made him king over all Israel. Nevertheless foreign women caused even him to sin.

vw@Nehemiah:13:27 @ Should we then hear of your doing all this great evil, acting treacherously against our God by marrying foreign women?

vw@Nehemiah:13:30 @ Thus I cleansed them of everything foreign. I also appointed duties to the priests and the Levites, each to his service,

vw@Esther:1:1 @ Now it came to pass in the days of Ahasuerus (this was the Ahasuerus who reigned over one hundred and twenty-seven provinces, from India to Ethiopia),

vw@Esther:1:2 @ in those days when King Ahasuerus sat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shushan the palace,

vw@Esther:1:3 @ that in the third year of his reign he made a feast for all his officials and servants; the powers of Persia and Media, the nobles, and the rulers of the provinces being before him;

vw@Esther:1:4 @ when he showed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the splendor of his excellent greatness for many days, even one hundred and eighty days.

vw@Esther:1:6 @ There were white and violet linen curtains fastened with cords of fine linen and purple on silver rods and marble pillars; and the couches were of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of red, turquoise, and pearl and black marble.

vw@Esther:1:8 @ In accordance with the law, the drinking was not compulsory; for so the king had ordered all the officers of his household, that they should do according to each man’s pleasure.

vw@Esther:1:12 @ But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king’s command brought by his officials; therefore the king was furious, and his rage burned within him.

vw@Esther:1:13 @ Then the king said to the wise men who understood the times (for this was the king’s manner toward all who knew law and judgment,

vw@Esther:1:14 @ those closest to him being Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven rulers of Persia and Media, who had access to the king’s presence, and who sat first in the kingdom):

vw@Esther:1:17 @ For the queen’s behavior will become known to all women, so that they will despise their husbands in their eyes, when they report, King Ahasuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought in before him, but she did not come.

vw@Esther:1:18 @ And this day the noble ladies of Persia and Media will say the same to all the king’s officials, when they have heard of the behavior of the queen. Thus there will be more than enough contempt and wrath.

vw@Esther:1:19 @ If it please the king, let a royal decree go out from him, and let it be recorded in the laws of Persia and Media, so that it shall not become obsolete, that Vashti shall come no more before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal power to another woman who is better than she.

vw@Esther:1:20 @ And when the king’s decree which he will make is proclaimed throughout all his empire (for it is great), all wives will honor their husbands, both great and small.

vw@Esther:1:22 @ Then he sent letters to all the king’s provinces, to each province in its own writing, and to every people in their own language: That each man should rule in his own house; and that it should be spoken in the language of each nation.

vw@Esther:2:2 @ Then the king’s servants who ministered to him said: Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king;

vw@Esther:2:3 @ and let the king appoint officers in all the provinces of his kingdom, that they may gather all the beautiful young virgins to Shushan the palace, into the women’s house, under the hand of Hegai the king’s official, custodian of the women. And let cosmetics be given to them.

vw@Esther:2:5 @ Now in Shushan the palace there was a certain Jew whose name was Mordecai the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite.

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

vw@Esther:2:7 @ And Mordecai had brought up Hadassah (that is, Esther), his uncle’s daughter, for she had neither father nor mother. And the young woman was of a beautiful figure and good appearance. At the death of her father and mother Mordecai had taken her as his own daughter.

vw@Esther:2:9 @ Now the young woman was good in his eyes, and she obtained his favor; so he rushed to supply her cosmetics, along with her other provisions. And seven choice maidservants were provided for her from the king’s house, and he moved her and her maidservants to the best place in the house of the women.

vw@Esther:2:12 @ Each young woman’s turn came to go in to King Ahasuerus after she had completed twelve months according to the regulations for the women, for thus were the days of their beautification accomplished: six months with oil of myrrh, and six months with perfumes and preparations for beautifying women.

vw@Esther:2:15 @ Now when the turn came for Esther (the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai, who had taken her as his daughter), to go in to the king, she requested nothing but what Hegai the king’s official, the custodian of the women, commanded. And Esther rose to favor in the eyes of all who saw her.

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

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

vw@Esther:2:18 @ And the king made a great feast, the Feast of Esther, for all his rulers and servants; and he instituted a holiday in the provinces and gave gifts according to the hand of the king.

vw@Esther:3:1 @ After these things King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and set his seat above all the rulers who were with him.

vw@Esther:3:4 @ Now it happened, when they spoke to him day after day and he would not listen to them, that they told Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s words would stand; for Mordecai had told them that he was a Jew.

vw@Esther:3:6 @ But it was contemptible in his eyes to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him of the people of Mordecai. Therefore, Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahasuerus; the people of Mordecai.

vw@Esther:3:7 @ In the first month, which is the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, they cast Pur (that is, the lot), before Haman from day to day and month to month, until it fell on the twelfth month, the month of Adar.

vw@Esther:3:8 @ Then Haman said to King Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of your kingdom; their laws are different from all other people’s, and they do not keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not fitting for the king to let them remain.

vw@Esther:3:10 @ So the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the one harassing the Jews.

vw@Esther:3:13 @ And the letters were sent by runners into all the king’s provinces, to destroy, to kill, and to exterminate all the Jews, both young and old, little children and women, in one day, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar, and to plunder their possessions;

vw@Esther:3:14 @ a copy of the document to be issued as law in every province, being published for all people, that they should be ready for that day.

vw@Esther:4:1 @ When Mordecai learned all that had happened, he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and ashes, and went out into the midst of the city, and cried out with a loud and bitter cry.

vw@Esther:4:4 @ So Esther’s maids and officials came and reported it to her, and the queen was exceedingly distressed. Then she sent garments to clothe Mordecai and take his sackcloth away from him, but he would not accept them.

vw@Esther:4:5 @ Then Esther called Hathach, one of the king’s officials whom he had appointed to attend her, and she gave him a command concerning Mordecai, to learn what and why this was.

vw@Esther:4:7 @ And Mordecai told him all that had happened to him, and the sum of money that Haman had promised to pay into the king’s treasuries to destroy the Jews.

vw@Esther:4:14 @ For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house shall perish. Yet who knows whether you have attained unto the kingdom for such a time as this?

vw@Esther:4:16 @ Go, gather all the Jews who are found in Shushan, and fast for me; neither eat nor drink for three days, night or day. My maids and I will fast likewise. And so I will go in to the king, which is against the law; and if I have perished, I have perished!

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

vw@Esther:5:1 @ Now it happened on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king’s house, across from the king’s house, while the king sat on his royal throne in the royal house, in front of the gate of the house.

vw@Esther:5:2 @ So it was, when the king saw Queen Esther standing in the court, that she found favor in his eyes, and the king held out to Esther the golden scepter that was in his hand. Then Esther went near and touched the top of the scepter.

vw@Esther:5:3 @ And the king said to her, What do you wish, Queen Esther? What is your request? It shall be given to you, even to half the kingdom.

vw@Esther:5:6 @ At the banquet of wine the king said to Esther, What is your petition? It shall be granted you. What is your request? And it shall be done, even to half the kingdom.

vw@Esther:5:7 @ Then Esther answered and said, My petition and request is this:

vw@Esther:5:10 @ Nevertheless Haman restrained himself and went to his house, and he sent and summoned his friends and his wife Zeresh.

vw@Esther:5:11 @ And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, the multitude of his children, everything in which the king had promoted him, and how he had advanced him above the rulers and servants of the king.

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

vw@Esther:5:14 @ Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, Let a gallows be made, fifty cubits high, and in the morning suggest to the king that Mordecai be hanged on it; then go joyfully with the king to the banquet. And these words were good to Haman; so he had the gallows made.

vw@Esther:6:3 @ Then the king said, What honor or dignity has been bestowed upon Mordecai for this? And the king’s servants who attended him said, Nothing has been done for him.

vw@Esther:6:4 @ So the king said, Who is in the court? Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king’s house to suggest that the king hang Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him.

vw@Esther:6:5 @ The king’s servants said to him, Behold, Haman is standing in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.

vw@Esther:6:6 @ So Haman came in, and the king said unto him, What shall be done for the man whom the king delights to honor? Now Haman thought in his heart, Whom would the king delight to honor more than myself?

vw@Esther:6:8 @ Let the royal apparel be brought which the king has worn, and a horse on which the king has ridden, and the royal crown which has been placed upon his head.

vw@Esther:6:9 @ Then let this apparel and horse be delivered to the hand of one of the king’s most noble rulers, that he may array the man whom the king delights to honor. Then have him ride on horseback through the city square, and proclaim before him: Thus shall it be done to the man whom the king delights to honor!

vw@Esther:6:12 @ Afterward Mordecai went back to the king’s gate. But Haman hurried to his house, mourning and with his head covered.

vw@Esther:6:13 @ When Haman told his wife Zeresh and all his friends everything that had happened to him, his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of the seed of the Jews, you will not prevail against him but shall be thrown down and fall before him.

vw@Esther:7:2 @ And on the second day, at the banquet of wine, the king again said to Esther, What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? It shall be done, even to half the kingdom.

vw@Esther:7:5 @ So King Ahasuerus answered and said to Queen Esther, Who is he, and where is he, who would dare presume in his heart to do such a thing?

vw@Esther:7:6 @ And Esther said, The adversary and enemy is this evil Haman! Then Haman was terrified before the king and queen.

vw@Esther:7:7 @ Then the king arose from the the banquet of wine in his wrath and went into the palace garden; but Haman stood before Queen Esther, to request for his soul, for he perceived that evil was determined against him by the king.

vw@Esther:7:9 @ Now Harbonah, one of the officials, said to the king, Behold, the gallows, fifty cubits high, which Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke good on the king’s behalf, is standing at the house of Haman. Then the king said, Hang him on it!

vw@Esther:8:2 @ And the king took off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai; and Esther appointed Mordecai over the house of Haman.

vw@Esther:8:3 @ And Esther spoke again to the king, falling down at his feet, and implored him with tears to take away the evil of Haman the Agagite, and the plans which he had devised against the Jews.

vw@Esther:8:5 @ and said, If it pleases the king, and if I have found favor before him and the thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to exterminate the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces.

vw@Esther:8:7 @ Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows because he has stretched out his hand against the Jews.

vw@Esther:8:8 @ You yourselves write a decree concerning the Jews, as is good in your eyes, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s signet ring; for whatever is written in the king’s name and sealed with the king’s signet ring no one can revoke.

vw@Esther:8:9 @ So the king’s scribes were called at that time, in the third month, which is the month Sivan, on the twenty-third day; and it was written, according to all that Mordecai commanded, to the Jews, the satraps, the governors, and the rulers of the provinces from India to Ethiopia, one hundred and twenty-seven provinces in all, to every province in its own writing, to every people in their own language, and to the Jews in their own writing and language.

vw@Esther:8:12 @ on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month of Adar.

vw@Esther:8:13 @ A copy of the document was to be issued as a decree in every province and published for all people, so that the Jews would be ready on that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.

vw@Esther:8:14 @ The couriers who rode on royal horses went out, hastened and pressed on by the king’s command. And the decree was issued in Shushan the palace.

vw@Esther:9:1 @ Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month of Adar, on the thirteenth day, the time came for the king’s command and his decree to be executed. On the day that the enemies of the Jews had hoped to overpower them, the opposite occurred, in that the Jews themselves overpowered those who hated them.

vw@Esther:9:4 @ For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces; for this man Mordecai proceeded on into greatness.

vw@Esther:9:9 @ Parmashta, Arisai, Aridai, and Vajezatha;

vw@Esther:9:12 @ And the king said to Queen Esther, The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman. What have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? Now what is your petition? It shall be granted to you. Or what is your further request? It shall be done.

vw@Esther:9:14 @ So the king commanded this to be done; the decree was issued in Shushan, and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.

vw@Esther:9:17 @ This was on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar. And on the fourteenth day of the month they rested and made it a day of feasting and gladness.

vw@Esther:9:21 @ to establish among them that they should celebrate yearly the fourteenth and fifteenth days of the month of Adar,

vw@Esther:9:24 @ because Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted against the Jews to exterminate them, and had cast Pur (that is, the lot), to destroy them and to exterminate them;

vw@Esther:9:25 @ but when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letter that this evil plot which Haman had devised against the Jews should return upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

vw@Esther:9:26 @ Therefore they called these days Purim, after the name Pur. Therefore, because of all the words of this letter, what they had seen concerning this matter, and what had happened to them,

vw@Esther:9:27 @ the Jews established and took it upon themselves and their seed and all who would join them, that without fail they should celebrate these two days year after year, according to the writing and according to the appointed time;

vw@Esther:9:29 @ Then Queen Esther, the daughter of Abihail, with Mordecai the Jew, wrote with full authority to confirm this second letter about Purim.

vw@Esther:9:31 @ to confirm these days of Purim at their appointed time, as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had established for them, and as they had decreed for themselves and their seed, concerning the matters of their fasting and of their cry.

vw@Esther:10:1 @ And King Ahasuerus imposed a tribute on the land and on the islands of the sea.

vw@Esther:10:2 @ Now all the acts of his authority and his might, and the declaration of the greatness of Mordecai, to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Media and Persia.

vw@Esther:10:3 @ For Mordecai the Jew was second to King Ahasuerus, and was great among the Jews and accepted by the multitude of his brethren, seeking the welfare of his people and speaking peace to all his seed.

vw@Job:1:3 @ Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the East.

vw@Job:1:4 @ And his sons went and prepared feasts in their houses, each on his appointed day, and sent and invited their three sisters to eat and drink with them.

vw@Job:1:5 @ So it was, when the days of feasting had made the rounds, that Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts. Thus Job did over time.

vw@Job:1:8 @ Then Jehovah said to Satan, Have you set your heart on My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and upright man, one who fears God and turns away from evil?

vw@Job:1:10 @ Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his livestock have flourished in the land.

vw@Job:1:12 @ And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in your hand; only do not stretch forth your hand upon him. So Satan went out from the presence of Jehovah.

vw@Job:1:13 @ Now there was a day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in the firstborn brother’s house;

vw@Job:1:20 @ Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell down upon the ground and prostrated himself;

vw@Job:1:21 @ and he said: Naked I have come from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return there. Jehovah has given, and Jehovah has taken away; blessed is the name of Jehovah.

vw@Job:1:22 @ In all this Job did not sin nor charge God with folly.

vw@Job:2:3 @ Then Jehovah said to Satan, Have you set your heart on My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and upright man, one who fears God and turns away from evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to swallow him up without cause.

vw@Job:2:4 @ So Satan answered Jehovah and said, Skin for skin! Yea, all that a man has he will give for his soul.

vw@Job:2:5 @ But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse You to Your face!

vw@Job:2:6 @ And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, he is in your hand, but keep his soul alive.

vw@Job:2:7 @ So Satan went out from the presence of Jehovah, and struck Job with malignant inflammation from the sole of his foot to the top of his head.

vw@Job:2:9 @ Then his wife said to him, Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!

vw@Job:2:10 @ But he said to her, You speak as one of the foolish ones speak. Shall we indeed receive good from God, and shall we not accept adversity? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

vw@Job:2:11 @ Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, each one came from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come and show sympathy for him, and to comfort him.

vw@Job:2:12 @ And when they lifted up their eyes from afar, and did not recognize him, they lifted up their voices and wept; and each one tore his robe and sprinkled dust on their heads toward the heavens.

vw@Job:2:13 @ So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.

vw@Job:3:1 @ After this Job opened his mouth and cursed his day.

vw@Job:3:3 @ Let the day perish in which I was born, and the night in which it was said, A male child has been conceived.

vw@Job:3:16 @ Or why was I not concealed like a miscarriage, like infants who never saw the light?

vw@Job:3:18 @ There the prisoners are at ease together; they do not hear the voice of the oppressor.

vw@Job:3:19 @ The small and great are there, and the slave is free from his master.

vw@Job:3:20 @ Why is light given to him who is in misery, and life to the bitter of soul,

vw@Job:3:23 @ or to a man whose way is concealed, whom God has covered?

vw@Job:4:5 @ But now it comes upon you, and you are weary; it touches you, and you are dismayed.

vw@Job:4:6 @ Is not your reverence your confidence? And the integrity of your ways your hope?

vw@Job:4:7 @ Remember now, who ever perished being innocent? Or where were the upright ever cut off?

vw@Job:4:9 @ By the breath of God they perish, and by the breath of His nostrils they are destroyed.

vw@Job:4:11 @ The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the cubs of the lioness are scattered.

vw@Job:4:12 @ Now a word was brought to me by stealth, and my ear received a whisper of it.

vw@Job:4:13 @ In the uncertainties from the visions of the night, when a man falls into deep sleep,

vw@Job:4:16 @ It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes in silence; then I heard a voice saying:

vw@Job:4:17 @ Is mortal man more righteous than God? Is a strong man more pure than his Maker?

vw@Job:4:18 @ Behold He puts no trust in His servants, and He charges His angels with error;

vw@Job:4:19 @ even more so those who dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed before the grass!

vw@Job:4:20 @ They are crushed from morning till evening; they perish forever, with no one regarding.

vw@Job:4:21 @ Is not their own excellence within them removed? They die, even without wisdom.

vw@Job:5:1 @ Call out now. Is there anyone who will answer you? And to which of the holy ones will you turn?

vw@Job:5:2 @ For anger kills a foolish man, and jealousy slays a simple one.

vw@Job:5:3 @ I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his dwelling place.

vw@Job:5:4 @ His sons are far from safety, they are crushed in the gate, and there is no one to rescue them.

vw@Job:5:5 @ The hungry eat up his harvest, taking it even from the thorns, and a snare snatches their wealth.

vw@Job:5:7 @ yet man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

vw@Job:5:13 @ He catches the wise in their own craftiness, and the counsel of the twisted is precipitated.

vw@Job:5:17 @ Behold, blessed is the man whom God corrects; therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

vw@Job:5:18 @ For He bruises, but He binds up; He shatters, but His hands heal.

vw@Job:5:24 @ You shall know that your tent is in peace; you shall visit your dwelling and find nothing amiss.

vw@Job:5:27 @ Behold, this we have searched out; it is true. Hear and know it for yourself.

vw@Job:6:4 @ For the arrows of the Almighty are within me; my spirit drinks in their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.

vw@Job:6:6 @ Can something tasteless be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

vw@Job:6:9 @ that it would please God to crush me, that He would loose His hand and cut me off!

vw@Job:6:10 @ Then I would still have comfort; though in anguish, I would leap for joy; let Him not spare; for I have not hidden the Words of the Holy One.

vw@Job:6:11 @ What strength do I have, that I should hope? And what is my end, that I should prolong my life?

vw@Job:6:12 @ Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh bronze?

vw@Job:6:13 @ Is my help not within me? And is wisdom driven from me?

vw@Job:6:14 @ To him who is despairing, kindness should be shown by his friend; but he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.

vw@Job:6:16 @ which are dark because of the ice, and into which the snow vanishes.

vw@Job:6:17 @ When it is warm, they stop flowing; when it is hot, they dry up from their place.

vw@Job:6:18 @ The paths of their journey are winding; they go into nothingness and vanish.

vw@Job:6:20 @ They are disappointed because they had been confident, but when they had come there they were abashed.

vw@Job:6:30 @ Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern calamity?

vw@Job:7:1 @ Is there not warfare for man on earth? Are not his days also like the days of a hired man?

vw@Job:7:2 @ Like a servant who pants for the shade, and like a hired man who waits eagerly for his wages,

vw@Job:7:4 @ When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise from the long night? For I have had my fill of tossing until the twilight of the dawn.

vw@Job:7:5 @ My flesh is clothed with worms and clods, my skin is hardened and cracked and oozes.

vw@Job:7:7 @ O remember that my life is a breath; my eye will never return to see good.

vw@Job:7:9 @ As the cloud vanishes and goes away, so he who goes down to Sheol does not come up.

vw@Job:7:10 @ He shall never again return to his house, nor shall his place know him anymore.

vw@Job:7:11 @ Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the distress of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

vw@Job:7:14 @ then You scare me with dreams and terrify me with visions,

vw@Job:7:17 @ What is man, that You should magnify him, that You should set Your heart upon him,

vw@Job:7:18 @ that You should visit him every morning, and try him every moment?

vw@Job:8:12 @ While it is yet green and not cut down, it dries up before any other plant.

vw@Job:8:13 @ So are the paths of all who forget the Mighty God; and the hope of the ungodly shall perish,

vw@Job:8:15 @ He leans on his house, but it does not stand. He holds it fast, but it does not endure.

vw@Job:8:16 @ He is moist before the sun, and his shoots spread out in his garden.

vw@Job:8:17 @ His roots are wrapped around a heap; he sees a house of stones.

vw@Job:8:18 @ If he is swallowed up from his place, then it will deny him, saying, I have not seen you.

vw@Job:8:19 @ Behold, this is the joy of His way, and out of the earth others shall grow.

vw@Job:8:20 @ Behold, the Mighty God will not cast away the perfect, nor will His hand support evildoers.

vw@Job:9:2 @ Truly I know it is so; but how can a man be just before the Mighty God?

vw@Job:9:3 @ If one wished to contend with Him, he could not answer Him one time out of a thousand.

vw@Job:9:4 @ He is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against Him and been at peace?

vw@Job:9:5 @ He removes the mountains, and they do not know when He overturns them in His anger;

vw@Job:9:7 @ He commands the sun, and it does not rise; He seals up the stars;

vw@Job:9:13 @ The Mighty God will not withdraw His anger; those who help the proud lie prostrate beneath Him.

vw@Job:9:19 @ If it is a matter of strength, indeed He is strong; and if of justice, who will appoint my meeting?

vw@Job:9:21 @ Though I were perfect, yet I do not know my soul; I despise my life.

vw@Job:9:22 @ It is all one; therefore I have said, He destroys the perfect and the wicked.

vw@Job:9:24 @ The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?

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

vw@Job:9:33 @ Nor is there any mediator between us, who may lay his hand on us both.

vw@Job:9:34 @ Let Him take His rod away from me, and do not let the dread of Him terrify me.

vw@Job:9:35 @ Then I would speak and not fear Him; but it is not so with me.

vw@Job:10:3 @ Has it been delightful to You that You oppress, that You despise the work of Your hands, and have shone on the counsel of the wicked?

vw@Job:10:7 @ although You know that I am not wicked, and there is no one who can rescue out of Your hand?

vw@Job:10:13 @ And these things You have hidden in Your heart; I have known that this was with You.

vw@Job:10:15 @ If I have been wicked, woe to me! And if I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head; I am full of disgrace. Pay attention to my affliction!

vw@Job:11:4 @ For you have said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in Your eyes.

vw@Job:11:5 @ But oh that God would speak, and open His lips against you,

vw@Job:11:6 @ that He would show you the secrets of wisdom! For they would double your wisdom. Know therefore that God forgets some of your iniquity.

vw@Job:11:9 @ Their measure is longer than the earth and broader than the sea.

vw@Job:11:10 @ If He passes by, imprisons, and gathers together, then who can repulse Him?

vw@Job:11:12 @ For an empty-headed man will be wise, when a wild ass’s colt is born a man.

vw@Job:11:14 @ if iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in your tents.

vw@Job:11:15 @ Then surely you shall lift up your face without blemish; yea, you shall be steadfast, and not fear;

vw@Job:11:16 @ because you shall forget your misery, and remember it as waters that have passed away,

vw@Job:11:17 @ and your lifetime shall arise more than the brightness of the noonday. Though you were dark, you shall be like the morning.

vw@Job:11:18 @ And you shall be secure, because there is hope; yea, you shall dig around you, and rest in safety.

vw@Job:11:20 @ But the eyes of the wicked will fail, and their place of escape shall perish; and their hope, as the expiring of the soul!

vw@Job:12:2 @ Truly you are the people, and wisdom will die with you!

vw@Job:12:4 @ I am one as a laughingstock to his friends; one who called upon God, and He answered him; the just and whole one is a laughingstock.

vw@Job:12:5 @ A lamp is despised in the thoughts of one who is at ease; it is made ready for those whose feet slip.

vw@Job:12:6 @ The tents of plunderers prosper, and those who provoke the Mighty God are secure, as God brings into his hand.

vw@Job:12:8 @ or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; and the fish of the sea shall recount to you.

vw@Job:12:9 @ Who among all these does not know that the hand of Jehovah has done this,

vw@Job:12:10 @ in whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all the flesh of mankind?

vw@Job:12:12 @ Wisdom is with old men, and with length of days is understanding.

vw@Job:12:13 @ With Him are wisdom and strength, He has counsel and understanding.

vw@Job:12:14 @ Behold, He breaks down, and it cannot be rebuilt; He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.

vw@Job:12:16 @ With Him are strength and wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver are His.

vw@Job:12:18 @ He loosens the bonds of kings, and binds their loins with a waistband.

vw@Job:12:20 @ He removes the lips of the trusted ones, and takes away the discretion of the elders.

vw@Job:13:1 @ Behold, my eye has seen all this, my ear has heard and understood it.

vw@Job:13:5 @ O that you would be silent and stop talking, and it would be your wisdom!

vw@Job:13:6 @ Now listen to my arguments, and pay attention to the complaint of my lips.

vw@Job:13:11 @ Will not His loftiness make you afraid, and the dread of Him fall upon you?

vw@Job:13:16 @ He also is my salvation, for a hypocrite can not come before Him.

vw@Job:13:17 @ Listen and pay attention to my speech; to my declaration with your ears.

vw@Job:13:19 @ Who is he who will contend with me? For if I am silent, I will die.

vw@Job:13:28 @ worn out like a rotten thing, like a garment that is moth-eaten.

vw@Job:14:1 @ Man who is born of woman is of few days, and full of turmoil.

vw@Job:14:2 @ He comes forth like a flower and is cut off; he flees like a shadow and does not remain.

vw@Job:14:5 @ Since his days are determined, the number of his months is with You; You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass beyond it.

vw@Job:14:6 @ Look away from him that he may rest, so like a hired man he may be satisfied with his day.

vw@Job:14:7 @ For there is hope for a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and its tender shoots will not cease.

vw@Job:14:10 @ But a strong man dies and is laid away; indeed man expires and where is he?

vw@Job:14:12 @ so man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no more, they shall not awake nor be aroused from their sleep.

vw@Job:14:13 @ O that You would hide me in Sheol, that You would conceal me until Your wrath is turned back, that You would appoint me a decree, and remember me!

vw@Job:14:17 @ My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and You cover my iniquity.

vw@Job:14:18 @ But as a mountain falls and crumbles away, and as a rock is moved out of its place;

vw@Job:14:20 @ You overpower him forever, and he passes on; You change his countenance and send him away.

vw@Job:14:21 @ His sons come to honor, and he does not recognize them; they are diminished, and he does not perceive it.

vw@Job:14:22 @ But his flesh will be in pain, and his soul will mourn.

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

vw@Job:15:3 @ Should he reason with speech that is not useful, or with words which do not profit?

vw@Job:15:8 @ Have you heard the counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?

vw@Job:15:9 @ What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that is not in us?

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

vw@Job:15:15 @ If God puts no trust in His saints, and the heavens are not pure in His sight;

vw@Job:15:16 @ how much more abhorrent and corrupt is man, who drinks injustice like water!

vw@Job:15:18 @ what wise men have told, not hiding anything received from their fathers,

vw@Job:15:20 @ The wicked man writhes with pain all his days, and the number of years is stored up for the ruthless.

vw@Job:15:21 @ Dreadful sounds are in his ears; during peace, devastation comes upon him.

vw@Job:15:23 @ He wanders about for bread, saying, where is it? He knows that the day of darkness is ready at hand.

vw@Job:15:24 @ Adversity and distress terrify him; they overpower him, like a king ready for the attack.

vw@Job:15:25 @ For he stretches out his hand against the Mighty God, and acts defiantly against the Almighty,

vw@Job:15:26 @ running with stiff neck against Him with his thick, embossed shield.

vw@Job:15:27 @ He has covered his face with his fatness, and made his waist heavy with fat.

vw@Job:15:29 @ He will not be rich, nor will his wealth endure, nor shall his possessions overspread the earth.

vw@Job:15:30 @ He shall not depart from darkness; the flame shall dry out his branches, and by the breath of His mouth he shall be removed.

vw@Job:15:31 @ Let not him who wanders about trust in vanity, for vanity shall be his recompense.

vw@Job:15:32 @ It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.

vw@Job:15:33 @ He will shake off his unripe grape like the vine, and cast off his blossom like the olive.

vw@Job:16:2 @ I have heard many such things; miserable comforters are you all!

vw@Job:16:3 @ Is there no end to windy words? What ails you that you answer thus?

vw@Job:16:6 @ When I speak, my pain is not relieved; and if I remain silent, how do I proceed?

vw@Job:16:8 @ You have seized me as a witness; my deception rises up against me and testifies to my face.

vw@Job:16:9 @ He tears me in His wrath, and hates me; He gnashes at me with His teeth; my adversary sharpens His eyes at me.

vw@Job:16:12 @ I was at ease, but He has shattered me; He also has taken hold on my neck, and dashed me to pieces; He has set me up for His target.

vw@Job:16:13 @ His archers surround me; He pierces my heart and does not pity; He pours out my gall on the ground.

vw@Job:16:16 @ My face is flushed from weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;

vw@Job:16:17 @ although no violence is in my hands, and my prayer is pure.

vw@Job:16:19 @ Even now, behold, my evidence is in Heaven, and my witness is on high.

vw@Job:16:21 @ Oh, that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleads for the son of his friend!

vw@Job:17:1 @ My spirit is broken, my days are extinguished, the grave is ready for me.

vw@Job:17:3 @ Now put down a pledge for me with Yourself. Who is he who will strike hands with me?

vw@Job:17:5 @ He who speaks flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.

vw@Job:17:8 @ Upright men are astonished at this, and the innocent stirs himself up against the hypocrite.

vw@Job:17:9 @ Yet the righteous will take hold on his way, and he who has clean hands shall increase strength.

vw@Job:17:10 @ But please, return and come back, all of you, for I do not find one wise man among you.

vw@Job:17:12 @ They set the night for day. The light is near, they say, in the face of darkness.

vw@Job:17:14 @ if I have said to corruption, You are my father, and to the worm, You are my mother and my sister;

vw@Job:17:15 @ where then is my hope? As for my hope, who shall see it?

vw@Job:18:5 @ The light of the wicked shall be extinguished, and the flame of his fire shall not shine.

vw@Job:18:6 @ The light shall be dark in his tent, and his lamp beside him shall be extinguished.

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

vw@Job:18:8 @ For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks into a netting.

vw@Job:18:10 @ A rope is hidden for him on the ground, and a trap for him in the path.

vw@Job:18:11 @ Terrors frighten him on every side, and have scattered him to his feet.

vw@Job:18:12 @ His strength is starved, and calamity is ready at his side.

vw@Job:18:13 @ It devours parts of his skin; the firstborn of death devours parts of his body.

vw@Job:18:14 @ He is drawn out of the security of his tent, and marched before the king of terrors.

vw@Job:18:15 @ What is not his dwells in his tent; brimstone is scattered on his dwelling.

vw@Job:18:16 @ His roots are dried up below, and his branch above is cut off.

vw@Job:18:17 @ The memory of him perishes from the earth, and he has no name on the face of the street.

vw@Job:18:18 @ He is driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.

vw@Job:18:19 @ He has neither offspring nor posterity among his people, nor any survivors in his dwellings.

vw@Job:18:20 @ Those in the west are astonished at his day, and those in the east are seized with horror.

vw@Job:18:21 @ Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him who does not know the Mighty God.

vw@Job:19:6 @ know then that God has bowed me, and has surrounded me with His net.

vw@Job:19:7 @ Behold, I cry out concerning injustice, but I am not heard. I cry aloud, but there is no justice.

vw@Job:19:11 @ He has also kindled His wrath against me, and He counts me as one of His enemies.

vw@Job:19:12 @ His troops come together and build up their road against me; they encamp all around my tent.

vw@Job:19:17 @ My breath is loathsome to my wife, and I must entreat the favor of children for the sake of my own body.

vw@Job:19:18 @ Even young children despise me; I arise, and they speak against me.

vw@Job:19:22 @ Why do you persecute me as the Mighty God does, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

vw@Job:19:25 @ For I know that my Redeemer is alive, and He shall stand at the latter time upon the earth;

vw@Job:19:29 @ fear for yourselves because of the sword; for wrath brings the punishment of the sword; that you may know there is judgment.

vw@Job:20:4 @ Do you not know this from of old, ever since man was placed upon earth,

vw@Job:20:5 @ that the rejoicing of the wicked is near its end, and the mirth of the hypocrite is but for a moment?

vw@Job:20:6 @ Though his haughtiness mounts up to the heavens, and his head reaches to the clouds,

vw@Job:20:7 @ yet he shall perish forever like his own dung; those who see him shall say, where is he?

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

vw@Job:20:9 @ The eye that has seen him shall see him no more, nor will his place regard him anymore.

vw@Job:20:10 @ His children shall seek the favor of the poor, and his hands shall return his wealth.

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

vw@Job:20:12 @ Though evil is sweet in his mouth, and he hides it under his tongue,

vw@Job:20:13 @ though he spares it and does not forsake it, but still keeps it in his mouth,

vw@Job:20:14 @ yet his food in his stomach has churned up; it is serpent’s venom within him.

vw@Job:20:15 @ He swallows down riches and vomits them up again; the Mighty God casts them out of his belly.

vw@Job:20:16 @ He shall suck the poison of serpents; the viper’s tongue shall slay him.

vw@Job:20:18 @ He shall give back that for which he labored, and shall not swallow it down; He shall have no enjoyment from the exchanges of his wealth.

vw@Job:20:20 @ Surely he has known no ease in his belly; he shall not save anything he desires.

vw@Job:20:21 @ No food is left for him; there is no travail after his well-being.

vw@Job:20:22 @ In the fullness of his scorn he shall be in distress; every hand of trouble shall come against him.

vw@Job:20:23 @ When he is about to fill his stomach, God will cast upon him the fury of His wrath, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.

vw@Job:20:25 @ It has been drawn, and comes out the back; yea, the glittering point comes out of his gall. Terrors come upon him;

vw@Job:20:26 @ total darkness is his hidden treasure. An unfanned fire shall devour him; and any survivors in his tent shall tremble.

vw@Job:20:27 @ The heavens shall lay bare his iniquity, and the earth shall rise up against him.

vw@Job:20:28 @ The fruit of his house shall be removed, being poured out in the day of His wrath.

vw@Job:20:29 @ This is the portion from God for a wicked man, the heritage promised to him by the Mighty God.

vw@Job:21:2 @ Listen carefully to my speech, and let this be your consolation.

vw@Job:21:4 @ As for me, is my complaint against man? And if it were, why should my spirit not be impatient?

vw@Job:21:5 @ Look at me and be astonished; put your hand over your mouth.

vw@Job:21:8 @ Their seed is established in their presence, and their offspring before their eyes.

vw@Job:21:9 @ Their houses are at peace, without dread; neither is the rod of God upon them.

vw@Job:21:10 @ Their bull has bred without failure; their cow calves and does not miscarry.

vw@Job:21:15 @ Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him? And what profit do we have if we entreat Him?

vw@Job:21:16 @ Behold, their goodness is not in their hand! The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

vw@Job:21:17 @ How often is the lamp of the wicked put out! How often does their calamity come upon them, the sorrows God distributes in His anger!

vw@Job:21:19 @ God treasures up one’s iniquity for his children. He recompenses him, that he may know it.

vw@Job:21:20 @ His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

vw@Job:21:21 @ For what is his delight in his house after him, when the number of his months has been cut off?

vw@Job:21:23 @ One dies in his full strength, being wholly secure and at ease;

vw@Job:21:24 @ his pails are full of milk, and the marrow of his bones is moist.

vw@Job:21:25 @ Another man dies in the bitterness of his soul, never having eaten with pleasure.

vw@Job:21:28 @ For you say, Where is the house of the noble one? And where is the tent, the dwelling place of the wicked?

vw@Job:21:31 @ Who declares his way to his face? And who repays him for what he has done?

vw@Job:22:2 @ Can a man be of use to the Mighty God, as he who is wise may be profitable to himself?

vw@Job:22:3 @ Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? Or is it gain to Him that you make your ways perfect?

vw@Job:22:4 @ Is it because of your reverence that He corrects you, and enters into judgment with you?

vw@Job:22:5 @ Is not your wickedness great, and your iniquities without end?

vw@Job:22:12 @ Is not God in the height of the heavens? And see the highest stars, how lofty they are!

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

vw@Job:22:19 @ The righteous see it and are glad, and the innocent have them in derision:

vw@Job:22:22 @ Receive, now, the Law from His mouth, and lay up His Words in your heart.

vw@Job:22:30 @ He will deliver one who is not innocent; yea, he will deliver by the purity of your hands.

vw@Job:23:2 @ Even today my complaint is bitter; my hand is heavy over my groaning.

vw@Job:23:3 @ Oh, that I knew where I might find Him, that I might come to His place!

vw@Job:23:6 @ Would He contend with me in His great power? No! But He would set me in place.

vw@Job:23:8 @ Behold, I go forward, but He is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceive Him;

vw@Job:23:11 @ My foot has held fast to His steps; I have kept His way and not turned aside.

vw@Job:23:12 @ I have not departed from the Commandment of His lips; I have treasured the Words of His mouth more than my prescribed food.

vw@Job:23:13 @ But He is One, and who can turn Him back? And whatever His soul desires, that He does.

vw@Job:23:14 @ For He completes what is prescribed for me, and many such things are with Him.

vw@Job:23:15 @ Therefore I am terrified at His presence; when I consider this, I am in dread of Him.

vw@Job:24:1 @ Since times are not hidden from the Almighty, why do those who know Him not see His days?

vw@Job:24:14 @ The murderer rises at daylight; he kills the poor and needy; and in the night he is like a thief.

vw@Job:24:15 @ The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me; and puts a covering over his face.

vw@Job:24:17 @ For the morning is the same to them as deep darkness; they know the terrors of deep darkness.

vw@Job:24:18 @ They are swift on the face of the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth; they do not turn into the way of the vineyards.

vw@Job:24:21 @ He mistreats the barren who do not bear, and does no good to the widow.

vw@Job:24:22 @ He also draws the mighty away with his strength; he rises up, but no one is sure of life.

vw@Job:24:23 @ He gives them security, and they trust in it; yet His eyes are on their ways.

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

vw@Job:25:2 @ Dominion and fear belong to Him; He makes peace in His high places.

vw@Job:25:3 @ Is there any numbering of His armies? Upon whom does His light not rise?

vw@Job:25:4 @ How then can man be just before the Mighty God? Or how can one be pure who is born of a woman?

vw@Job:25:5 @ If even the moon does not shine, and the stars are not pure in His sight;

vw@Job:25:6 @ how much less man, who is a maggot; and the son of man, who is a worm!

vw@Job:26:2 @ How have you helped him who is without power? How have you saved the arm that has no strength?

vw@Job:26:3 @ How have you counseled one who has no wisdom, or widely declared sound wisdom?

vw@Job:26:6 @ Sheol is naked before Him, and Abaddon has no covering.

vw@Job:26:8 @ He binds up the waters in His thick clouds, yet the clouds are not split open under them.

vw@Job:26:9 @ He covers the face of His throne, and spreads His cloud over it.

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

vw@Job:26:12 @ He has stirred up the sea with His power, and by His understanding has shattered the arrogant.

vw@Job:26:13 @ By His Spirit He has made the heavens beautiful; His hand has brought forth the fleeing serpent.

vw@Job:26:14 @ Lo, these are the extremities of His ways; yea, what a whisper of a word has been heard of Him! But the thunder of His might who can understand?

vw@Job:27:1 @ Moreover Job continued on with his discourse, and said:

vw@Job:27:3 @ as long as my breath is in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils,

vw@Job:27:7 @ Let my enemy be like the wicked, and he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.

vw@Job:27:8 @ For what is the hope of the hypocrite when he is cut off, when God draws out his soul?

vw@Job:27:9 @ Will the Mighty God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?

vw@Job:27:11 @ I will teach you about the hand of the Mighty God; that which is with the Almighty I will not hide.

vw@Job:27:13 @ This is the portion of a wicked man with the Mighty God, and the heritage of the ruthless, received from the Almighty:

vw@Job:27:14 @ If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

vw@Job:27:18 @ He builds his house like a moth, like a booth which a watchman makes.

vw@Job:27:19 @ The rich man shall lie down, but not be gathered up; he has opened his eyes, and is not.

vw@Job:27:21 @ The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; it whirls him out of his place.

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

vw@Job:28:1 @ Surely there is a source for silver, and a place where gold is refined.

vw@Job:28:2 @ Iron is taken out of the earth, and copper is smelted from stone.

vw@Job:28:5 @ As for the earth, from it comes bread, but underneath it is churned up like fire;

vw@Job:28:7 @ It is a path no bird knows, nor has the falcon’s eye caught sight of it.

vw@Job:28:9 @ He has put his hand on the rock; He has overturned the mountains by the roots.

vw@Job:28:10 @ He cuts out streams in the rocks, and his eye sees every precious thing.

vw@Job:28:11 @ He has bound up the streams from flowing; He brings what is hidden out into the light.

vw@Job:28:12 @ But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?

vw@Job:28:13 @ Man does not know its value, nor is it found in the land of the living.

vw@Job:28:14 @ The deep says, It is not in me; and the sea says, It is not with me.

vw@Job:28:18 @ No mention shall be made of coral or crystal, for the acquiring of wisdom is above precious stones.

vw@Job:28:20 @ From where then does wisdom come? And where is the place of understanding?

vw@Job:28:21 @ It is hidden from the eyes of all living, and concealed from the birds of the heavens.

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

vw@Job:29:1 @ Moreover Job continued on with his discourse, and said:

vw@Job:29:3 @ when His lamp shone upon my head, and when by His light I walked through darkness;

vw@Job:29:17 @ I broke the fangs of the perverse, and flung out the prey from his teeth.

vw@Job:29:21 @ Men listened to me and waited, and kept silent for my counsel.

vw@Job:30:2 @ Indeed, what profit is the strength of their hands to me? Their vigor has perished.

vw@Job:30:11 @ Because He has loosed His bowstring and afflicted me, they have cast off restraint before me.

vw@Job:30:12 @ At my right hand the brood arises; they push away my feet, and they raise against me their ways of destruction.

vw@Job:30:15 @ Terrors are turned upon me; they pursue my honor as the wind, and my prosperity has vanished like a cloud.

vw@Job:30:16 @ And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction take hold of me.

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

vw@Job:30:22 @ You lift me up to the wind and cause me to ride on it; You dissipate me in the storm.

vw@Job:30:24 @ Surely He would not stretch out His hand against a heap of ruins. Behold, they cry out for help when He destroys it.

vw@Job:30:27 @ My stomach has been upset and is not still; days of affliction have confronted me.

vw@Job:30:31 @ My harp is turned to mourning, and my flute into the voice of those who weep.

vw@Job:31:2 @ For what is the portion from God above, and the inheritance of the Almighty from on high?

vw@Job:31:3 @ Is it not destruction for the wicked, and calamity for the workers of iniquity?

vw@Job:31:7 @ If my step has turned aside from the way, or my heart walked after my eyes, or if any blemish has clung to my hands,

vw@Job:31:13 @ If I despised the cause of my male or female servant when they have a dispute with me,

vw@Job:31:14 @ what then shall I do when the Mighty God rises up? When He reviews my case, what shall I answer Him?

vw@Job:31:18 @ (when from my youth, as a father I have raised him, and from my mother’s womb I guided her);

vw@Job:31:19 @ if I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, or any poor man without covering;

vw@Job:31:20 @ if his heart has not blessed me, and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

vw@Job:31:23 @ For calamity from the Mighty God is a terror to me, and because of His majesty I could not do such things.

vw@Job:31:27 @ so that my heart has been secretly enticed, and my mouth has kissed my hand;

vw@Job:31:28 @ this also would be a perversity deserving of judgment, for I would have denied the Mighty God above.

vw@Job:31:30 @ (indeed I have not allowed my mouth to sin, to request a curse upon his soul);

vw@Job:31:31 @ if the men of my tent have not said, who is there that is not satisfied with his flesh?

vw@Job:31:35 @ Oh, that I had one to hear me! Behold, my desire is that the Almighty would answer me, that the man complaining had written an indictment!

vw@Job:31:40 @ then let thistles come forth instead of wheat, and weeds instead of barley. The words of Job are finished.

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

vw@Job:32:2 @ Then the wrath of Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled against Job; his wrath was kindled because he was justifying his soul more than God.

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

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

vw@Job:32:7 @ I said, Age should speak, and multitude of years should declare wisdom.

vw@Job:32:8 @ But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.

vw@Job:32:9 @ Great men are not always wise, nor do the aged always discern justice.

vw@Job:32:10 @ Therefore I have said, Listen to me; I also will declare my opinion.

vw@Job:32:11 @ Behold, I waited for your speech, I listened to your reasonings, while you searched out words.

vw@Job:32:12 @ Yea, I paid attention to you, and behold, not one of you proved Job wrong, nor answered his words;

vw@Job:32:13 @ lest you should say, We have found wisdom; the Mighty God will drive him out, not man.

vw@Job:32:14 @ Now he has not directed his words against me; so I will not answer him with your words.

vw@Job:32:15 @ They have been dismayed and answer no more; they have left off speaking.

vw@Job:32:19 @ Behold, my belly is like wine that has no vent; it is about to split open like new wineskins.

vw@Job:33:1 @ But please, Job, hear my speech, and listen to all my words.

vw@Job:33:9 @ I am pure, without transgression; I am innocent, and there is no iniquity in me.

vw@Job:33:10 @ Yet He finds opposition in me, He counts me as His enemy;

vw@Job:33:12 @ Behold, in this you have not been righteous. I will answer you, for God is greater than man.

vw@Job:33:13 @ Why do you contend with Him? For He does not give account to you of His business.

vw@Job:33:15 @ In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, while slumbering on their beds,

vw@Job:33:17 @ In order to turn man from his deed, and conceal pride from man,

vw@Job:33:18 @ He keeps back his soul from the Pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

vw@Job:33:19 @ Man is also chastened with pain on his bed, and with perpetual strife in his bones,

vw@Job:33:20 @ so that his life loathes bread, and his soul desirable food.

vw@Job:33:21 @ His flesh wastes away from sight, and his bones which once were not seen are laid bare.

vw@Job:33:22 @ Yea, his soul draws near the Pit, and his life to the executioners.

vw@Job:33:23 @ If there is a messenger for him, a mediator, one among a thousand, to declare for man his uprightness,

vw@Job:33:25 @ His flesh shall be fresh like a youth’s, he shall return to the days of his vigor.

vw@Job:33:26 @ He shall pray unto God, and He will delight in him; he shall see His face with joy, for He restores to man His righteousness.

vw@Job:33:30 @ to bring back his soul from the Pit, that he may be enlightened with the Light of Life.

vw@Job:33:31 @ Pay attention, Job, listen to me; be silent, and I will speak.

vw@Job:33:33 @ If not, listen to me; be silent, and I will teach you wisdom.

vw@Job:34:2 @ Hear my words, you wise men; give ear to me, you who have knowledge.

vw@Job:34:4 @ Let us choose justice for ourselves; let us know among ourselves what is good.

vw@Job:34:6 @ should I lie concerning my right? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.

vw@Job:34:7 @ What man is like Job, who drinks up derision like water,

vw@Job:34:9 @ For he has said, It profits a man nothing when he is pleasing to God.

vw@Job:34:10 @ Therefore listen to me, you men with heart: far be it from the Mighty God to do wickedness, and from the Almighty to do injustice.

vw@Job:34:11 @ For He repays man according to his work, and causes him to attain according to his way.

vw@Job:34:14 @ If He should set His heart on it, if He should gather to Himself His Spirit and His breath,

vw@Job:34:15 @ all flesh would perish together, and man would return to dust.

vw@Job:34:16 @ If you have understanding, hear this; listen to the sound of my words:

vw@Job:34:18 @ Is it fitting to say to a king, You are worthless; and to nobles, You are wicked?

vw@Job:34:19 @ He is not partial to rulers, nor does He regard the rich more than the poor; for they are all the work of His hands.

vw@Job:34:21 @ For His eyes are on the ways of man, and He sees all his steps.

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

vw@Job:34:26 @ He chastises them as wicked men, in a place where others can see,

vw@Job:34:27 @ because they have turned aside from following Him, and have not considered any of His ways,

vw@Job:34:29 @ When He gives quietness, who then can condemn? And when He hides His face, who then can see Him? It might be against a nation or mankind altogether,

vw@Job:34:34 @ Men with heart say to me, wise men who listen to me:

vw@Job:34:35 @ Job speaks without knowledge, his words are without insight.

vw@Job:34:36 @ Oh, that Job were tried to the utmost, because his answers are like those of wicked men!

vw@Job:34:37 @ For he adds rebellion to his sin; he claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against the Mighty God.

vw@Job:35:2 @ Do you think this is just? Do you say, I am more righteous than the Mighty God?

vw@Job:35:8 @ Your wickedness is for a man such as yourself, and your righteousness a son of man.

vw@Job:35:10 @ But no one says, Where is God my Maker, who gives songs in the night,

vw@Job:35:11 @ who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?

vw@Job:35:13 @ Surely, the Mighty God will not listen to vanity, nor will the Almighty regard it.

vw@Job:35:14 @ Although you say you do not see Him, yet the case is before Him, and you must wait for Him.

vw@Job:35:15 @ And now, because He has not punished in His anger, nor taken notice of great folly,

vw@Job:35:16 @ therefore Job opens his mouth in vain; he multiplies words without knowledge.

vw@Job:36:4 @ For truly my words are not false; the One who is perfect in knowledge is with you.

vw@Job:36:5 @ Behold, the Mighty God is great, and refuses no one; He is mighty in strength and heart.

vw@Job:36:7 @ He does not withdraw His eyes from the righteous; but they are on the throne with kings, for He has seated them forever, and they are exalted.

vw@Job:36:12 @ But if they do not obey, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.

vw@Job:36:14 @ Their soul dies in youth, and their life is among the male temple prostitutes.

vw@Job:36:16 @ Indeed He would have brought you out of the mouth of distress, into a broad place where there is no constraint; and what is set on your table would be full of fatness.

vw@Job:36:21 @ Take heed and do not turn away to iniquity, for you have chosen this rather than affliction.

vw@Job:36:22 @ Behold, the Mighty God is exalted by His power; who teaches like Him?

vw@Job:36:23 @ Who has assigned Him His way, or who has said, You have done wrong?

vw@Job:36:24 @ Remember to magnify His work, of which men have sung.

vw@Job:36:26 @ Behold, the Mighty God is great, and we cannot find Him out; nor can the number of His years be searched out.

vw@Job:36:27 @ For He draws up drops of water, which distill as rain from the mist,

vw@Job:36:29 @ Also, can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds, the thunder from His canopy?

vw@Job:36:30 @ Behold, He has spread his light upon it, and has covered the bottom of the sea.

vw@Job:36:32 @ He covers His hands with lightning, and gives charge to strike the mark.

vw@Job:36:33 @ His thunder declares it; the cattle also go up.

vw@Job:37:1 @ At this also my heart trembles, and leaps from its place.

vw@Job:37:2 @ Listen to hear the thunder of His voice, and the rumbling that comes out of His mouth.

vw@Job:37:3 @ He has let it loose under the whole heavens, His lightning unto the ends of the earth.

vw@Job:37:4 @ After it a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice, and He does not hold back when His voice is heard.

vw@Job:37:5 @ The Mighty God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend.

vw@Job:37:6 @ For He says to the snow, Fall on the earth; likewise to the showers of rain and the showers of heavy rain.

vw@Job:37:7 @ He seals up the hand of every man, that all men may know His work.

vw@Job:37:10 @ By the breath of the Mighty God frost is given, and the expanse of the waters is frozen.

vw@Job:37:11 @ He also loads the thick clouds with moisture; He scatters His bright clouds;

vw@Job:37:12 @ and they swirl round about at His direction, that they may do whatever He commands them on the face of the world upon the earth.

vw@Job:37:13 @ He causes it to come, whether as a rod, or for His land, or for mercy.

vw@Job:37:14 @ Listen to this, O Job; stand still and consider the wondrous works of the Mighty God.

vw@Job:37:15 @ Do you know when God appoints them, and causes the lightning of His cloud to shine?

vw@Job:37:16 @ Do you know how the clouds are balanced, those wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge?

vw@Job:37:20 @ Should He be told that I wish to speak? If a man were to speak, surely he would be swallowed up.

vw@Job:37:22 @ Golden splendor comes out of the north; with God is awesome majesty.

vw@Job:37:23 @ As for the Almighty, we cannot find Him out; He is great in power, in justice and abundant righteousness; He does not afflict.

vw@Job:37:24 @ Therefore men fear Him; He does not regard the wise of heart.

vw@Job:38:2 @ Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?

vw@Job:38:11 @ and said, This far you may come, but no farther, and here your proud waves shall stay!?

vw@Job:38:15 @ From the wicked their light is withheld, and the lofty arm is broken.

vw@Job:38:17 @ Have the gates of death been disclosed to you? Or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?

vw@Job:38:19 @ Where is the way to where light dwells? And darkness, where is its place,

vw@Job:38:21 @ You know, because you were born then, and because the number of your days is great.

vw@Job:38:23 @ which I have reserved for the time of distress, for the day of battle and war?

vw@Job:38:24 @ By what way is light diffused, or the east wind scattered over the earth?

vw@Job:38:26 @ to cause it to rain on a land where there is no man, a wilderness devoid of mankind;

vw@Job:38:27 @ to satisfy the desolate waste, and cause to spring forth the growth of vegetation?

vw@Job:38:30 @ The waters harden like stone, and the surface of the deep is stuck together.

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

vw@Job:38:37 @ Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can lay down the pitchers of the heavens,

vw@Job:38:38 @ when the dust is poured into castings, and the clods cling together?

vw@Job:38:39 @ Can you hunt the prey for the lion, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

vw@Job:39:6 @ whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwelling?

vw@Job:39:8 @ The mountain ranges are his pasture, and he searches after every green thing.

vw@Job:39:11 @ Will you trust him because his strength is great? Or will you leave your labor to him?

vw@Job:39:16 @ She treats her young roughly, as if they were not hers; her labor is in vain without fear,

vw@Job:39:17 @ because God has caused her to forget wisdom, and has not imparted understanding to her.

vw@Job:39:20 @ Can you make him leap like a locust? His majestic snorting strikes terror.

vw@Job:39:21 @ He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength; he goes forth to meet the weapons.

vw@Job:39:22 @ He mocks at fear, and is not dismayed; nor does he turn back from the sword.

vw@Job:39:26 @ Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, and spread its wings toward the south?

vw@Job:39:29 @ From there it searches for food; its eyes see great distances.

vw@Job:39:30 @ Its young ones suck up blood; and where the slain are, there it is.

vw@Job:40:9 @ Have you an arm like the Mighty God? Or can you thunder with a voice like His?

vw@Job:40:11 @ Scatter abroad the outburst of your anger; look upon everyone who is proud, and humiliate him.

vw@Job:40:12 @ Look upon everyone who is proud, and humble him; tread down the wicked in their place.

vw@Job:40:16 @ See now, his power is in his hips, and his strength is in the muscles of his belly.

vw@Job:40:17 @ He moves his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are knit together.

vw@Job:40:18 @ His bones are like channels of bronze, his ribs like bars of iron.

vw@Job:40:19 @ He is the first of the ways of the Mighty God; only He who made him can bring near His sword.

vw@Job:40:23 @ If the river becomes violent he is not alarmed; he is confident, though the Jordan bursts forth against his mouth.

vw@Job:40:24 @ Can anyone capture him before his eyes, or pierce his nose with snares?

vw@Job:41:1 @ Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, or snare his tongue with a cord which you let down?

vw@Job:41:2 @ Can you put a reed rope through his nose, or pierce his jaw with a hook?

vw@Job:41:7 @ Can you fill his skin with barbs, or his head with fishing spears?

vw@Proverbs:1:2 @ To know wisdom and instruction; to discern the words of understanding;

vw@Proverbs:1:3 @ to receive instruction in wisdom, justice, and judgment, and equity;

vw@Proverbs:1:4 @ to give prudence to the simple, knowledge and discretion to the young man.

vw@Proverbs:1:5 @ The wise hears and increases learning, and the one of understanding gets wise counsel,

vw@Proverbs:1:6 @ to understand a proverb and an enigma; the words of the wise, and their difficult sayings.

vw@Proverbs:1:7 @ The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

vw@Proverbs:1:17 @ Surely in vain the net is spread in the sight of any bird.

vw@Proverbs:1:33 @ But whoever listens to me shall live in confidence, and shall rest securely from the dread of evil.

vw@Proverbs:2:2 @ so that you incline your ear to wisdom, and extend your heart to understanding;

vw@Proverbs:2:6 @ For Jehovah gives wisdom; out of His mouth come knowledge and understanding.

vw@Proverbs:2:7 @ He lays up sound wisdom for the upright; a shield to those who walk in integrity,

vw@Proverbs:2:8 @ to guard the paths of judgment; and He keeps watch over the way of His saints.

vw@Proverbs:2:10 @ When wisdom enters into your heart, and knowledge is pleasant to your soul,

vw@Proverbs:2:11 @ discretion shall keep watch over you, understanding shall guard you,

vw@Proverbs:3:7 @ Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear Jehovah and depart from evil.

vw@Proverbs:3:11 @ My son, do not reject the chastening of Jehovah, and do not loathe His correction;

vw@Proverbs:3:12 @ for whom Jehovah loves He corrects, even as a father corrects the son with whom he is pleased.

vw@Proverbs:3:13 @ Happy is the man who finds wisdom, and the man who gets understanding;

vw@Proverbs:3:14 @ for its profit is better than the gain from silver, and its increase more than fine gold.

vw@Proverbs:6:23 @ For the commandment is a lamp, and the law a light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life,

vw@Proverbs:6:26 @ For on account of a promiscuous woman, a man comes to a loaf of bread; for the man’s wife hunts for the precious soul.

vw@Proverbs:6:27 @ Can a man take fire into his bosom and his clothes not be burned?

vw@Proverbs:6:28 @ Or can a man walk on hot coals and his feet not be scorched?

vw@Proverbs:6:30 @ They do not despise a thief, if he steals to satisfy his soul when he is hungry.

vw@Proverbs:6:31 @ But if he is found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the wealth of his house.

vw@Proverbs:6:32 @ He who commits adultery with a woman lacks heart; he who does so destroys his own soul.

vw@Proverbs:9:4 @ Whoever is simple, turn in here; and to the one lacking heart, she says to him:

vw@Proverbs:9:7 @ He who reproves a scorner gets shame to himself; and he who rebukes a wicked man gets himself a blemish.

vw@Proverbs:9:9 @ Give to a wise one, and he will become wiser; teach a just one, and he will increase in learning.

vw@Proverbs:9:10 @ The fear of Jehovah is the beginning of wisdom; and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.

vw@Proverbs:9:12 @ If you are wise, you shall be wise for yourself, and if you scorn, you alone shall bear it.

vw@Proverbs:9:13 @ A foolish woman is boisterous; she is naive, and knows nothing.

vw@Proverbs:9:16 @ Whoever is simple, let him turn in here; and to the one lacking heart, she says to him:

vw@Proverbs:9:17 @ Stolen waters are sweet, and bread eaten in secret is pleasant.

vw@Proverbs:10:1 @ The proverbs of Solomon: A wise son makes a father rejoice, but a foolish son is a grief to his mother.

vw@Proverbs:10:13 @ Wisdom is found in the lips of him who has discernment, but a rod is for the back of him who lacks heart.

vw@Proverbs:10:14 @ The wise treasure up knowledge, but the mouth of the fool is near destruction.

vw@Proverbs:10:15 @ The rich man’s wealth is his strong city; the destruction of the poor is their poverty.

vw@Proverbs:10:16 @ The labor of the righteous is life; the gain of the wicked is sin.

vw@Proverbs:10:17 @ He who heeds instruction is in the way of life, but he who forsakes reproof wanders.

vw@Proverbs:10:18 @ He who hides hatred with lying lips, and he who sends out a slander, is a fool.

vw@Ecclesiastes:1:12 @ I, the preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

vw@Ecclesiastes:1:13 @ And I have given my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that which is done under the heavens. It is an evil task which God has given to the sons of men to be busied with.

vw@Ecclesiastes:1:14 @ I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and striving of spirit.

vw@Ecclesiastes:1:15 @ What is crooked cannot be made straight; and that which is lacking cannot be numbered.

vw@Ecclesiastes:1:16 @ I spoke within my own heart, saying, Lo, I have become great and have gathered more wisdom than all who have been before me in Jerusalem; yea, my heart has seen much of wisdom and knowledge.

vw@Ecclesiastes:1:17 @ And I gave my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly; I have perceived that this also is striving of spirit.

vw@Ecclesiastes:1:18 @ For in much wisdom is much grief; and he who increases knowledge increases sorrow.

vw@Ecclesiastes:2:1 @ I said in my heart, Come now, I will test you with mirth; therefore regard pleasure; and this was vanity.

vw@Ecclesiastes:2:2 @ I said of laughter, It is madness; and of mirth, What does it accomplish?

vw@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @ I sought in my heart to gratify my flesh with wine, while leading my heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, until I might find out what was good for the sons of men to do under the heavens all the days of their life.

vw@Ecclesiastes:2:9 @ I was great and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem; also my wisdom remained with me.

vw@Ecclesiastes:2:10 @ And whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them; I did not withhold my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labor, and this was my share from all my labor.

vw@Ecclesiastes:2:12 @ And I turned myself to consider wisdom and madness and folly; for what can the man do who comes after the king, when it has already been done?

vw@Ecclesiastes:2:13 @ Then I saw that wisdom excels folly, as far as light excels darkness.

vw@Ecclesiastes:2:14 @ The wise man’s eyes are in his head; but the fool walks in darkness; and I also considered that one event happens to them all.

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

vw@Ecclesiastes:2:16 @ For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool forever, since that which is now shall all be forgotten in the days to come. And how does the wise man die? Same as the fool!

vw@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @ Therefore I hated life; because the work that is done under the sun is evil to me; for all is vanity and striving of spirit.

vw@Ecclesiastes:2:19 @ And who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he shall have rule over all my labor in which I have labored, and acted wisely under the sun. This also is vanity.

vw@Ecclesiastes:2:21 @ For there is a man whose labor is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and with success; yet he shall leave it as inheritance to a man who has not labored in it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

vw@Ecclesiastes:2:22 @ For what has man from all his labor, and from the striving of his heart, in which he has labored under the sun?

vw@Ecclesiastes:2:23 @ For all his days are sorrows, and his task grief; yea, his heart does not take rest in the night. This also is vanity.

vw@Ecclesiastes:2:24 @ Is it not good for a man to eat and drink and make his soul behold the good in his labor. This also, I saw, that it was from the hand of God.

vw@Ecclesiastes:2:26 @ For God gives wisdom, and knowledge, and joy to a man who is good in His sight. But to the sinner He gives labor, to collect and gather, that he may give to him who is good before God. This also is vanity and striving of spirit.

vw@Ecclesiastes:3:1 @ To every thing there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the heavens:

vw@Ecclesiastes:3:2 @ A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to root up what is planted;

vw@Ecclesiastes:3:12 @ I know that there is no good for man, but to rejoice and to do good in his life.

vw@Ecclesiastes:3:13 @ And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labor; it is the gift of God.

vw@Ecclesiastes:3:15 @ That which has been, is now; and that which is to be, already has been; and God exacts what is pursued.

vw@Ecclesiastes:3:17 @ I said in my heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

vw@Ecclesiastes:3:19 @ For that which happens to the sons of men also happens to beasts, even one thing happens to them. As this one dies, so that one dies; yea, they all have one breath; so that a man has no advantage over a beast; for all is vanity.

vw@Ecclesiastes:3:22 @ Therefore I have seen that there is nothing better than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion; for who can bring him to see what shall be after him?

vw@Ecclesiastes:4:3 @ Yea, better than both is he who has never existed, who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

vw@Ecclesiastes:4:4 @ Again, I considered all labor, and every successful work, that for this a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and striving of spirit.

vw@Ecclesiastes:4:5 @ The fool folds his hands together, and devours his own flesh.

vw@Ecclesiastes:4:6 @ Better is a hand filled with rest than two hands full with travail and striving of spirit.

vw@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @ There is one alone, without a second; indeed, he has neither son nor brother; yet there is no end to all his labor; and his eyes are not satisfied with riches; and he does not ask, For whom do I labor and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity; indeed, it is an evil task.

vw@Ecclesiastes:4:10 @ For if they fall, the one will lift up his companion; but woe to him who is alone when he falls, for he does not have another to help him up.

vw@Ecclesiastes:4:12 @ And if one overpowers him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

vw@Ecclesiastes:4:13 @ A poor and wise youth is better than an old and foolish king, who will not be admonished any more.

vw@Ecclesiastes:4:14 @ For he comes out of prison to reign; although in his kingdom he was poor.

vw@Ecclesiastes:4:15 @ I saw all the living who walk under the sun, with the second youth who stands in his place.

vw@Ecclesiastes:4:16 @ There is no end of all the people, of all who have been before them; they also who come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and striving of spirit.

vw@Ecclesiastes:5:2 @ Do not be rash with your mouth, and do not let your heart be hasty to say a word before God. For God is in Heaven, and you are on earth; therefore let your words be few.

vw@Ecclesiastes:5:5 @ It is better that you should not vow, than that you should vow and not pay.

vw@Ecclesiastes:5:6 @ Do not permit your mouth to cause your flesh to sin; do not say before the messenger that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry at your voice and destroy the work of your hands?

vw@Ecclesiastes:5:7 @ For in the multitude of dreams and increasing of words there is also vanity; but fear God.

vw@Ecclesiastes:5:8 @ If you see the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, do not be astonished at the matter; for He who is higher than the highest watches; so there are those higher than they.

vw@Ecclesiastes:5:9 @ And the advantage of the land is for all; even a king has fields being tilled.

vw@Ecclesiastes:5:10 @ He who loves silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he who loves abundance, with gain. This also is vanity.

vw@Ecclesiastes:5:11 @ When the goods increase, those who eat it increase; what profit is it, then, to its owners, except to see it with their eyes?

vw@Ecclesiastes:5:12 @ The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eats little or much; but the abundance of the rich will not allow him to sleep.

vw@Ecclesiastes:5:13 @ There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun: riches kept for their owners to their hurt.

vw@Ecclesiastes:5:14 @ But those riches perish by evil use. And he begets a son, and there is nothing in his hand.

vw@Ecclesiastes:5:15 @ As he came forth from his mother’s womb, naked he shall return, to go as he came. And from his labor he shall take away nothing that he may carry in his hand.

vw@Ecclesiastes:5:16 @ And this also is a sore evil, that in all, as he came, so shall he go; and what profit does he have who has labored for the wind?

vw@Ecclesiastes:5:17 @ All his days he eats in darkness, and he has much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.

vw@Ecclesiastes:5:18 @ Behold that which I have seen: It is good and right for one to eat and to drink, and to see good in all his labor that he labors under the sun all the days of his life, which God gives him; for it is his portion.

vw@Ecclesiastes:5:19 @ Also every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and has given him power to eat of it and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.

vw@Ecclesiastes:5:20 @ For he does not excessively dwell on the days of his life, because God keeps him busy in the joy of his heart.

vw@Ecclesiastes:6:1 @ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is widespread among men:

vw@Ecclesiastes:6:2 @ A man to whom God has given riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacks nothing for his soul of all that he desires, yet God does not give him power to eat of it, but a foreigner devours it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

vw@Ecclesiastes:6:3 @ If a man begets a hundred, and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, and his soul is not filled with goodness, and there is also for him no burial; I say, a miscarriage is better than he;

vw@Ecclesiastes:6:4 @ for it comes in with vanity and goes out in darkness, and its name is covered with darkness.

vw@Ecclesiastes:6:5 @ Also it has not seen the sun, nor known anything. This one has more rest than the other.

vw@Ecclesiastes:6:7 @ All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the soul is not satisfied.

vw@Ecclesiastes:6:8 @ For what has the wise more than the fool? What does the poor have, who knows how to walk before the living?

vw@Ecclesiastes:6:9 @ Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire. This is also vanity and striving of spirit.

vw@Ecclesiastes:6:10 @ That which one is, he has been named already, and it is known that he is man. And he is not able to contend with Him who is mightier than he.

vw@Ecclesiastes:6:11 @ Since there are many things that increase vanity, how is man any better?

vw@Ecclesiastes:6:12 @ For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he spends as a shadow? For who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:1 @ A good name is better than precious ointment, and the day of death than the day of one’s birth.

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

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:3 @ Sorrow is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the face the heart is made better.

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

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:5 @ It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise than for a man to hear the song of fools.

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

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:7 @ Surely oppression makes a fool out of a wise man; and a bribe destroys the heart.

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:8 @ Better is the end of a thing than the beginning of it; the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:10 @ Do not say, Why were the former days better than these? For you do not ask wisely concerning this.

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:11 @ Wisdom is good with an inheritance, and profitable to those who see the sun.

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:12 @ For wisdom is a defense, and money is a defense; but the excellence of knowledge is, that wisdom gives life to those who have it.

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:15 @ I have seen everything in the days of my vanity: There is a just one who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked one who prolongs life in his wickedness.

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:16 @ Do not be overly righteous, nor be overly wise; why should you destroy yourself?

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:18 @ It is good that you should grasp this; yea, also from this do not withdraw your hand; for he who fears God shall come forth out from them all.

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:19 @ Wisdom makes the wise stronger than ten who dominate the city.

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:20 @ For there is not a just man on earth who does good and does not sin.

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:23 @ All this I have proved by wisdom; I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me.

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:24 @ As for that which is far off and exceedingly deep, who can find it out?

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:25 @ I set my heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness;

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:26 @ and I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands like fetters. Whoever pleases God shall escape from her, but the sinner shall be captured by her.

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:27 @ Behold, this I have found, says the preacher, counting one by one, to find out the reckoning,

vw@Ecclesiastes:7:29 @ Lo, this only I have found, that God has made man upright, but they have sought out many schemes.

vw@Ecclesiastes:8:1 @ Who is as the wise? And who knows the explanation of a thing? A man’s wisdom makes his face shine, and the strength of his face is changed.

vw@Ecclesiastes:8:3 @ Do not be hasty to leave his presence. Do not take a stand in an evil thing, for he does whatever pleases him;

vw@Ecclesiastes:8:4 @ because in the word of a king is power; and who may say to him, What are you doing?

vw@Ecclesiastes:8:5 @ Whoever keeps the command shall experience no evil decree; and a wise man’s heart discerns both time and judgment.

vw@Ecclesiastes:8:6 @ Because for every desire there is a time and judgment, for the evil of man increases greatly.

vw@Ecclesiastes:8:8 @ No one has power over the spirit to restrain the spirit; nor power in the day of death; and there is no discharge from that war; nor shall wickedness deliver its owners.

vw@Ecclesiastes:8:9 @ All this I have seen, and I gave my heart to every work that is done under the sun. There is a time in which one man rules over another to his own hurt.

vw@Ecclesiastes:8:10 @ And so I saw the wicked buried, they who had come and gone from the consecrated place. And they were forgotten in the city where they had done so. This also is vanity.

vw@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.

vw@Ecclesiastes:8:12 @ Though a sinner does evil a hundred times, and his days are prolonged, yet surely I know that it shall be well with those who fear God, who fear before Him.

vw@Ecclesiastes:8:13 @ But it shall not be well with the wicked, nor shall he prolong his days, which are like a shadow; because he does not fear before God.

vw@Ecclesiastes:8:14 @ There is a vanity which is done on the earth: There are just ones to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked ones to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

vw@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @ Then I praised gladness, because a man has no better thing under the sun than to eat and to drink and to be glad; for that shall remain with him of his labor for the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.

vw@Ecclesiastes:8:16 @ When I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done on the earth, not seeing sleep with the eyes, day or night;

vw@Ecclesiastes:8:17 @ then I looked at all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun; because though a man labors to seek it out, yet he shall not find it. Moreover, though a wise one speaks of knowing, yet he shall not be able to find it.

vw@Ecclesiastes:9:1 @ For all this I took to heart, in order to explain it: that the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God. No man knows, whether by love or hatred, all that is before them.

vw@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @ All happens alike to everyone; there is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good and to the clean, and to the unclean; to him who sacrifices, and to him who does not sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner. He who swears is as he who fears an oath.

vw@Ecclesiastes:9:3 @ This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event to 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.

vw@Ecclesiastes:9:4 @ For whoever is chosen, of all those living, there is confidence; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

vw@Ecclesiastes:9:5 @ For the living know that they shall die; but the dead do not know anything, nor do they have any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

vw@Ecclesiastes:9:6 @ Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, have now perished; nor do they ever any longer have a part in anything that is done under the sun.

vw@Ecclesiastes:9:9 @ Look on life with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life, which He has given you under the sun, all the days of your vanity. For that is your share in this life, and in your labor which you labor under the sun.

vw@Ecclesiastes:9:10 @ Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might; for there is no work nor reasoning nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol where you go.

vw@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @ I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happens to them all.

vw@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @ For man also does not know his time; as the fish that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly upon them.

vw@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @ This wisdom I have seen also under the sun, and it seemed great to me.

vw@Ecclesiastes:9:15 @ And a poor wise man was found in it, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no one remembered that poor man.

vw@Ecclesiastes:9:16 @ And I said, Wisdom is better than strength; but the poor man’s wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

vw@Ecclesiastes:9:17 @ The words of the wise are heard in quiet, more than the shouts of him who rules among fools.

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

vw@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @ As dead flies cause the perfumer’s ointment to stink and ferment; so does a little folly to one esteemed for wisdom and honor.

vw@Ecclesiastes:10:2 @ A wise man’s heart is at his right hand; but a fool’s heart at his left.

vw@Ecclesiastes:10:3 @ Even when a fool walks along the way, his heart fails; and he says to everyone that he is a fool.

vw@Ecclesiastes:10:4 @ If the spirit of the ruler rises up against you, remain quietly where you are; for quietness heals great offenses.

vw@Ecclesiastes:10:5 @ There is an evil I have seen under the sun, like an error which comes from a ruler’s presence:

vw@Ecclesiastes:10:6 @ Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.

vw@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @ If the iron is blunt, and he does not whet the edge, then he must exert more strength. But wisdom gives excellent success.

vw@Ecclesiastes:10:11 @ The snake may bite if it is not charmed; and a master of the tongue is no better.

vw@Ecclesiastes:10:12 @ The words of a wise mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow him up.

vw@Ecclesiastes:10:13 @ The words of his mouth begin with foolishness; and the end of his talk is wicked madness.

vw@Ecclesiastes:10:16 @ Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, and your rulers eat in the morning.

vw@Ecclesiastes:10:17 @ Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, and your rulers eat at the proper time, for strength, and not for drunkenness!

vw@Ecclesiastes:10:19 @ Food is made for laughter, and wine makes merry; but money is the answer to everything.

vw@Ecclesiastes:11:5 @ As you do not know what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones grow in the womb of a pregnant woman; even so you do not know the works of God who makes everything.

vw@Ecclesiastes:11:6 @ In the morning sow your seed, and in the evening do not withhold your hand; for you do not know which shall be blessed, either this or that, or whether they both alike shall be good.

vw@Ecclesiastes:11:7 @ Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun.

vw@Ecclesiastes:11:8 @ But if a man lives many years, and rejoices in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness, for they shall be many. All that has come is vanity.

vw@Ecclesiastes:12:4 @ and the doors are shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and one rises up at the sound of a bird, and all the daughters of song are silenced;

vw@Ecclesiastes:12:5 @ also they are afraid of the heights, and terrors along the way, and the almond tree blossoms, and the grasshopper is a burden, and desire fails; because man goes to his eternal home, and the mourners go about the streets;

vw@Ecclesiastes:12:6 @ or before the silver cord is loosed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern;

vw@Ecclesiastes:12:8 @ Vanity of vanities, says the preacher; all is vanity.

vw@Ecclesiastes:12:9 @ And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge. Yes, he pondered, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.

vw@Ecclesiastes:12:11 @ The words of the wise are like goads, and as nails from the collection, fastened by the Master, given from one Shepherd.

vw@Ecclesiastes:12:12 @ And further, by these, my son, be admonished: The making of many books has no end, and much study is a weariness to the flesh.

vw@Ecclesiastes:12:13 @ Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep His commandments; for this is for every man.

vw@Songs:1:1 @ The song of songs, which is Solomon’s.

vw@Songs:1:2 @ Shulamite: Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for your love is better than wine.

vw@Songs:1:3 @ Because of the fragrance of your good ointments, your name is ointment poured forth; therefore the virgins love you.

vw@Songs:1:4 @ Draw me away! Daughters of Jerusalem: We will run after you. Shulamite: The king has brought me into his chambers. Daughters of Jerusalem: We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will remember your love more than wine. Shulamite: Rightly do they love you.

vw@Songs:1:12 @ Shulamite: While the king is at his table, my spikenard sends forth its fragrance.

vw@Songs:1:13 @ A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me, who lies between my breasts.

vw@Songs:1:14 @ My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms in the vineyards of En Gedi.

vw@Songs:1:16 @ Shulamite: Behold, you are handsome, my beloved! Yes, pleasant! Also our bed is green.

vw@Songs:2:2 @ The Beloved: Like a lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

vw@Songs:2:3 @ Shulamite: Like an apple tree among the trees of the woods, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down in his shade with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

vw@Songs:2:4 @ To the Daughters of Jerusalem: He brought me into the house of wine, and his banner over me was love.

vw@Songs:2:5 @ Sustain me with cakes of raisins, refresh me with apples, for I am lovesick.

vw@Songs:2:6 @ His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me.

vw@Songs:2:9 @ My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Behold, he stands behind our wall; he is looking through the windows, gazing through the lattice.

vw@Songs:2:10 @ My beloved spoke, and said to me: Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away.

vw@Songs:2:11 @ For lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.

vw@Songs:2:12 @ The flowers appear on the earth; the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land.

vw@Songs:2:13 @ The fig tree ripens her green figs, and the vines with the tender grapes give a good smell. Rise up, my love, my beautiful one, and come away!

vw@Songs:2:14 @ O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the cliff, let me see your form, let me hear your voice; for your voice is sweet, and your appearance is beautiful.

vw@Songs:2:16 @ Shulamite: My beloved is mine, and I am his. He grazes among the lilies.

vw@Songs:3:2 @ I will rise now, and go about the city; in the streets and in the broad places I will seek him whom my soul loves. I sought him, but I did not find him.

vw@Songs:3:6 @ Shulamite: Who is this coming out of the wilderness like columns of smoke, like the smoke of sacrifices of myrrh and frankincense, of all the fragrant powders of the merchant?

vw@Songs:3:7 @ Behold, it is Solomon’s bed, with sixty mighty men around it, of the mighty of Israel.

vw@Songs:3:8 @ They all hold swords, being expert in war. Every man has his sword on his thigh because of fear in the night.

vw@Songs:3:11 @ Go forth, O daughters of Zion, and see King Solomon with the crown with which his mother crowned him on his wedding day, the day of the gladness of his heart.

vw@Songs:4:1 @ The Beloved: Behold, you are beautiful, my love! Behold, you are beautiful! You have dove’s eyes behind your veil. Your hair is like a flock of goats lying down at Mount Gilead.

vw@Songs:4:2 @ Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep which have come up from the washing, every one of which bears twins, and none is barren among them.

vw@Songs:4:3 @ Your lips are like a strand of scarlet, and your mouth is lovely. Your temples behind your veil are like a piece of pomegranate.

vw@Songs:4:4 @ Your neck is like the tower of David, built for an armory, on which hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.

vw@Songs:4:7 @ You are all beautiful, my love, and there is no defect in you.

vw@Songs:4:9 @ You have ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; you have ravished my heart with one look of your eyes, with the pendant around your neck.

vw@Songs:4:10 @ How beautiful is your love, My sister, my spouse! How much better than wine is your love, and the scent of your ointments than all spices!

vw@Songs:4:11 @ Your lips, O my spouse, drip as the honeycomb; honey and milk are under your tongue; and the fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.

vw@Songs:4:12 @ A bolted enclosed garden is my sister, my spouse; a spring locked up, a fountain sealed.

vw@Songs:4:16 @ Shulamite: Awake, O north wind, and come, O south! Blow upon my garden, that its spices may flow out. Let my beloved come to his garden and eat its excellent fruits.

vw@Songs:5:1 @ The Beloved: I have come to my garden, my sister, my spouse; I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. To His Friends: Eat, O friends! Drink, yes, get drunk, O beloved ones!

vw@Songs:5:2 @ Shulamite: I sleep, but my heart is awake; it is the sound of my beloved! He knocks, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one; for my head is covered with dew, my locks with the drops of the night.

vw@Songs:5:4 @ My beloved put his hand by the latch of the door, and my heart yearned for him.

vw@Songs:5:9 @ Daughters of Jerusalem: What is your beloved more than any other beloved, O most beautiful among women? What is your beloved more than any other beloved, that you charge us so?

vw@Songs:5:10 @ Shulamite: My beloved is dazzling and ruddy, standing out among ten thousand.

vw@Songs:5:11 @ His head is like the finest gold; his locks are wavy, and black as a raven.

vw@Songs:5:12 @ His eyes are like doves by the rivers of waters, washed with milk, and set in a frame.

vw@Songs:5:13 @ His cheeks are like a bed of spices, like grown herbs. His lips are like lilies, dripping flowing myrrh.

vw@Songs:5:14 @ His hands are like folds of gold filled with precious stones. His torso is smooth as ivory overlaid with sapphires.

vw@Songs:5:15 @ His legs are like pillars of marble set on bases of fine gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.

vw@Songs:5:16 @ His mouth is most sweet. Yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

vw@Songs:6:2 @ Shulamite: My beloved has gone to his garden, to the beds of spices, to graze in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

vw@Songs:6:3 @ I am my beloved’s, and my beloved is mine. He grazes among the lilies.

vw@Songs:6:5 @ Turn your eyes away from me, for they have overcome me. Your hair is like a flock of goats lying down in Gilead.

vw@Songs:6:6 @ Your teeth are like a flock of ewes which have come up from the washing; every one bears twins, and not one is barren among them.

vw@Songs:6:9 @ But my dove, my perfect one, is the one, the only one of her mother, the pure of the one who bore her. The daughters saw her and called her blessed, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

vw@Songs:6:10 @ Who is she who looks forth as the morning, beautiful as the moon, clear as the sun, awesome as an army with banners?

vw@Songs:6:13 @ The Beloved and His Friends: Return, return, O Shulamite; Return, return, that we may gaze upon you! Shulamite: What would you see in the Shulamite; as it were, the dancing of two armies?

vw@Songs:7:1 @ The Beloved: How beautiful are your feet in sandals, O prince’s daughter! The curves of your thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a skilled artist.

vw@Songs:7:2 @ Your navel is like a round goblet; it lacks no mixed wine. Your belly is like a heap of wheat set about with lilies.

vw@Songs:7:4 @ Your neck is like an ivory tower, your eyes like the pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bath Rabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon which looks toward Damascus.

vw@Songs:7:5 @ Your head is like Carmel, and the hair of your head is like purple; the king is held captive in its tresses.

vw@Songs:7:6 @ How beautiful and how pleasant you are, O love; so exquisite!

vw@Songs:7:7 @ Your stature is like a palm tree, and your breasts like its clusters.

vw@Songs:7:10 @ I am my beloved’s, and his desire is toward me.

vw@Songs:8:1 @ Oh, that you were like my brother, who nursed at my mother’s breasts! If I should find you outside, I would kiss you; I would not be despised.

vw@Songs:8:3 @ To the Daughters of Jerusalem: His left hand under my head, and his right hand embracing me.

vw@Songs:8:5 @ A Relative: Who is this coming up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I awakened you under the apple tree. There your mother travailed with you; there she travailed with you and bore you.

vw@Songs:8:6 @ Shulamite to Her Beloved: Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm; for love is as strong as death, jealousy as cruel as Sheol; its flames are flames of fire, a flame of YAH.

vw@Songs:8:7 @ Many waters cannot quench love, nor can the rivers overflow it. If a man would give for love all the wealth of his house, it would be despised with contempt.

vw@Songs:8:8 @ Relatives: We have a little sister, and she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister in the day when she is spoken for?

vw@Songs:8:9 @ If she is a wall, we will build upon her a battlement of silver; and if she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.

vw@Songs:8:10 @ Shulamite: I am a wall, and my breasts like towers; then I was in his eyes as one who found peace.

vw@Songs:8:12 @ To Solomon: My own vineyard is before me. You, O Solomon, may have a thousand, and those who tend its fruit two hundred.

vw@Songs:8:13 @ The Beloved: You who dwell in the gardens, the companions listen for your voice; let me hear it!

vw@Isaiah:1:1 @ The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

vw@Isaiah:1:2 @ Give heed, O heavens, and hear, O earth! For Jehovah has spoken: I have nourished and brought up children, but they have rebelled against Me.

vw@Isaiah:1:3 @ The ox knows his owner, and the ass his master’s manger, but Israel does not know; My people have not discerned.

vw@Isaiah:1:4 @ Woe, sinful nation, a people heavy with iniquity, a seed of evildoers, children who corrupt! They have forsaken Jehovah; they have scorned the Holy One of Israel. They are estranged backward.

vw@Isaiah:1:5 @ Why will you be stricken any more? Will you rebel more and more? The whole head is sick, and the whole heart is faint.

vw@Isaiah:1:6 @ From the sole of the foot even to the head, there is no soundness in it; only wounds and bruises and fresh stripes; they have not been closed nor bound up, nor has it been softened with oil.

vw@Isaiah:1:7 @ Your land is a desolation; your cities burned with fire. Strangers devour your land before you; and it is desolate, as overthrown by strangers.

vw@Isaiah:1:8 @ And the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard, like a hut in a cucumber field, like a besieged city.

vw@Isaiah:1:9 @ Except Jehovah of Hosts had left us a small remnant, we would be as Sodom; we would be as Gomorrah.

vw@Isaiah:1:10 @ Hear the Word of Jehovah, you rulers of Sodom. Give heed to the Law of our God, you people of Gomorrah.

vw@Isaiah:1:11 @ What good to Me are your many sacrifices, says Jehovah? I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of well-fed cattle; nor do I delight in the blood of bulls, of lambs, or he goats.

vw@Isaiah:1:12 @ When you come to appear before Me, who has required this at your hand, to trample My courts?

vw@Isaiah:1:13 @ Bring no more vain sacrifices; its incense is an abomination to Me. I cannot endure the new moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies, and the wicked festivals.

vw@Isaiah:1:14 @ My soul hates your new moons and your appointed feasts. They are a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.

vw@Isaiah:1:15 @ And when you spread out your hands, I will hide My eyes from you. Even though you multiply prayers, I will not hear. Your hands are full of blood.

vw@Isaiah:1:16 @ Wash yourselves, purify yourselves. Put away the evil of your doings from My eyes; stop doing evil.

vw@Isaiah:1:17 @ Learn to do good, seek justice, set straight the oppressor, judge for the orphan, plead for the widow.

vw@Isaiah:1:18 @ Come now and let us reason together, says Jehovah: Though your sins are as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

vw@Isaiah:1:19 @ If you are willing and obedient, you shall eat the good of the land.

vw@Isaiah:1:20 @ But if you refuse and rebel, you shall be devoured with the sword; for the mouth of Jehovah has spoken.

vw@Isaiah:1:21 @ Oh how the faithful city has become a harlot! It was full of justice; righteousness lodged in it; but now, murderers!

vw@Isaiah:1:22 @ Your silver has become dross; your wine is diluted with water.

vw@Isaiah:1:23 @ Your rulers are rebellious and companions of thieves. Everyone loves a bribe, and pursues rewards. They do not judge for the orphan, nor does the cause of the widow come before them.

vw@Isaiah:1:24 @ Therefore says the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah! I will be eased of My adversaries, and avenge Myself of My enemies.

vw@Isaiah:1:25 @ And I will turn back My hand upon you, and refine your dross, as with lye, and remove all your alloy.

vw@Isaiah:1:26 @ And I will return your judges as at the first; and your advisers, as at the beginning; then you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.

vw@Isaiah:1:27 @ Zion shall be redeemed with justice, and her returning ones with righteousness.

vw@Isaiah:1:28 @ And the destruction of the transgressors and of the sinners shall be together. And those who forsake Jehovah shall be consumed.

vw@Isaiah:1:29 @ For they shall be ashamed of the mighty trees which you desired; and you shall be ashamed of the gardens that you have chosen.

vw@Isaiah:1:30 @ For you shall be like a mighty tree whose leaf fades, and like a garden that has no water.

vw@Isaiah:1:31 @ And the strong shall be as tinder, and the work as a spark; and they both shall burn together; and no one shall quench them.

vw@Isaiah:2:1 @ The Word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem:

vw@Isaiah:2:2 @ And it shall come to pass in the end times, that the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established on the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

vw@Isaiah:2:3 @ And many people shall go and say, Come and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, to the house of the God of Jacob. And He will teach us His ways, and we will walk in His paths. For out of Zion the Law shall go forth, and the Word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

vw@Isaiah:2:4 @ And He shall judge among the nations and shall rebuke many people. And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, nor shall they learn war anymore.

vw@Isaiah:2:5 @ O house of Jacob, come and let us walk in the light of Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:2:6 @ For You have forsaken Your people, the house of Jacob, because they have been consecrated from the east, and are fortunetellers like the Philistines, and they clap hands in worship with children of foreigners.

vw@Isaiah:2:7 @ Their land is also filled with silver and gold. There is no end to their treasures. And their land is full of horses, neither is there any end to their chariots.

vw@Isaiah:2:8 @ Their land is full of idols; they bow down to the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.

vw@Isaiah:2:9 @ People prostrate themselves, men bow low; therefore You do not forgive them.

vw@Isaiah:2:10 @ Enter into the rock and hide in the dust from the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of His majesty.

vw@Isaiah:2:11 @ The lofty eyes of man shall be humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down; but Jehovah, He alone, shall be exalted in that day.

vw@Isaiah:2:12 @ For the day of Jehovah of Hosts shall come upon all the proud and lofty ones, and upon all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low;

vw@Isaiah:2:13 @ and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, high and lifted up; and upon all the oaks of Bashan;

vw@Isaiah:2:14 @ and upon all the high mountains; and upon all the lifted up hills;

vw@Isaiah:2:15 @ and upon every tall tower; and upon every fortified wall;

vw@Isaiah:2:16 @ and upon all the ships of Tarshish; and upon all desirable craft.

vw@Isaiah:2:17 @ And the pride of man shall be bowed down; and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low; and Jehovah alone shall be exalted in that day.

vw@Isaiah:2:18 @ And the idols shall completely pass away.

vw@Isaiah:2:19 @ And they shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, for the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of His majesty; when He rises up to make the earth tremble.

vw@Isaiah:2:20 @ In that day a man shall throw his idols of silver and gold, which they made each man to bow down to, to the moles and to the bats;

vw@Isaiah:2:21 @ to go into the crevices of the rocks, and into the clefts of the cliffs, from the terror of Jehovah, and from the glory of His majesty; when He rises up to make the earth tremble.

vw@Isaiah:2:22 @ Leave off from such a man, whose breath is in his nostril; for how is he to be accounted?

vw@Isaiah:3:1 @ For behold, the Lord Jehovah of Hosts takes away the support and the staff from Jerusalem and from Judah; the whole support of bread and the whole support of water;

vw@Isaiah:3:2 @ the mighty man, and the man of war; the judge and the prophet, and the diviner, and the elder;

vw@Isaiah:3:3 @ the commander of fifty and the honorable man; the counselor and the skilled magician; and the expert enchanter.

vw@Isaiah:3:4 @ And I will give youth to be their rulers, and wanton children shall rule over them.

vw@Isaiah:3:5 @ And the people shall be oppressed, man against man, every man by his neighbor. The youth will be insolent against the elder, and the dishonorable against the honorable.

vw@Isaiah:3:6 @ When a man shall take hold of his brother, in his father’s house, saying, You have clothing! Come, you be our ruler; let this ruin be under your power.

vw@Isaiah:3:7 @ In that day he shall lift himself up and say, I cannot be one who binds up; for there is neither bread nor clothing in my house; do not make me a ruler of the people.

vw@Isaiah:3:8 @ For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen; because their tongue and their deeds are rebellion toward Jehovah and against the eyes of His glory.

vw@Isaiah:3:9 @ The expression of their faces witnesses against them; they have declared their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to their soul! For they have recompensed evil upon themselves.

vw@Isaiah:3:10 @ Say to the righteous that it is well; for they shall eat of the fruit of their doings.

vw@Isaiah:3:11 @ Woe to the wicked! For the evil, the recompense of his hand, shall be done unto him.

vw@Isaiah:3:12 @ As for My people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O My people, those leading you cause you to go astray, and they swallow the way of your paths.

vw@Isaiah:3:13 @ Jehovah stands up to plead His case, and stands up to judge the peoples.

vw@Isaiah:3:14 @ Jehovah will enter into judgment with the elders of His people, and their rulers. For you have eaten up the vineyard, the plunder of the poor is in your houses.

vw@Isaiah:3:15 @ What do you mean that you crush My people, and grind the faces of the poor? says the Lord Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Isaiah:3:16 @ Furthermore Jehovah says, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched out necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and make a tinkling with their feet;

vw@Isaiah:3:17 @ therefore Jehovah will attach scabs to the top of the head of the daughters of Zion; and Jehovah will lay bare their secret parts.

vw@Isaiah:3:18 @ In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, and their headbands, and their crescents of the moon,

vw@Isaiah:3:19 @ the pendants, and the bracelets, and the veils;

vw@Isaiah:3:20 @ the turbans, and the leg ornaments, and the sashes, and the perfume boxes, and the amulets;

vw@Isaiah:3:21 @ the rings and nose jewels;

vw@Isaiah:3:22 @ the festal apparel and the outer garments; and the mantles, and the purses;

vw@Isaiah:3:23 @ the mirrors and the fine linen; and the turbans and the veils.

vw@Isaiah:3:24 @ And it shall be, instead of a smell of perfume, there shall be an odor of decay. And instead of a belt, a rope. And instead of well set hair, baldness. And instead of a rich robe, a girding of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.

vw@Isaiah:3:25 @ Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.

vw@Isaiah:3:26 @ And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall sit desolate on the ground.

vw@Isaiah:4:1 @ And in that day seven women shall take hold of one man, saying, We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothing; only let us be called by your name, to take away our reproach.

vw@Isaiah:4:2 @ In that day shall the Branch of Jehovah be beautiful and honorable, and the fruit of the earth excellent and glorious for those who have escaped from Israel.

vw@Isaiah:4:3 @ And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion, and he who remains in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, even everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem;

vw@Isaiah:4:4 @ when the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from its midst by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning.

vw@Isaiah:4:5 @ And Jehovah will create over all the foundation of Mount Zion, and over her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night; for over all the glory shall be a canopy.

vw@Isaiah:4:6 @ And there shall be a booth for shade by day from the heat, and for a refuge and a shelter from storm and rain.

vw@Isaiah:5:1 @ Now I will sing to my Beloved a song of my Beloved concerning His vineyard. My Beloved has a vineyard on a very fruitful hill.

vw@Isaiah:5:2 @ And He fenced it, and cleared out its stones, and planted it with choice vines, and built a tower in its midst, and hewed out a winepress in it; and He looked for it to produce grapes, but it produced rotten grapes.

vw@Isaiah:5:3 @ And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, please judge between Me and My vineyard.

vw@Isaiah:5:4 @ What more could have been done to my vineyard that I have not done in it? Why then, when I looked for it to yield grapes, did it yield rotten grapes?

vw@Isaiah:5:5 @ And now I will tell you what I will do to My vineyard; I will take away its hedge, and it shall be burned; and break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down;

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

vw@Isaiah:5:7 @ For the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah are His pleasant plant. He looked for justice, but behold bloodshed; for righteousness, but behold an outcry!

vw@Isaiah:5:8 @ Woe to those who join house to house, laying field to field, until there is no more space for you to dwell alone in the midst of the earth!

vw@Isaiah:5:9 @ Jehovah of Hosts said in my ears, Truly many big and pleasant houses shall be laid waste, without inhabitant.

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

vw@Isaiah:5:11 @ Woe to those who rise up early in the morning to pursue strong drink; remaining until the evening while wine inflames them!

vw@Isaiah:5:12 @ And the lute, and the harp, the tambourine, and pipe, and wine, are at their feasts; but they do not regard the work of Jehovah, neither do they give attention to the work of His hands.

vw@Isaiah:5:13 @ For this My people have gone into captivity without knowledge, and their honorable men into famine, and their multitude dried up with thirst.

vw@Isaiah:5:14 @ Therefore Sheol has enlarged itself, and opened its mouth without measure; and their glory, and their multitude, and their tumult, and he who exults, shall go down into it.

vw@Isaiah:5:15 @ And people are prostrated, and great men are brought low and the eyes of the haughty are brought low.

vw@Isaiah:5:16 @ But Jehovah of Hosts is exalted in justice, and the Mighty God, the Holy One, is sanctified in righteousness.

vw@Isaiah:5:17 @ Then shall the lambs feed in their pastures, and the waste places of the fat ones shall sojourners eat.

vw@Isaiah:5:18 @ Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin with cart ropes;

vw@Isaiah:5:19 @ who say, Let Him hurry and hasten His work, so that we may see it; and let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near and come, so that we may know it!

vw@Isaiah:5:20 @ Woe to those who call evil good and good evil; who put darkness for light and light for darkness; who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter!

vw@Isaiah:5:21 @ Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and understanding in their own sight!

vw@Isaiah:5:22 @ Woe to those mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mix strong drink;

vw@Isaiah:5:23 @ who justify the wicked for a bribe, and take away justice from the righteous!

vw@Isaiah:5:24 @ Therefore, as the fire devours the stubble, and the flame consumes the chaff, so their root shall be like rottenness, and their blossoms shall go up like dust, because they have cast away the Law of Jehovah of Hosts, and despised the Word of the Holy One of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:5:25 @ Therefore the anger of Jehovah is kindled against His people, and He has stretched out His hand against them, and has stricken them; and the hills trembled, and their corpses were as refuse in the midst of the streets. In all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

vw@Isaiah:5:26 @ And He will lift up a banner to distant nations, and will whistle to them from the ends of the earth; and behold, they shall come with speed, swiftly.

vw@Isaiah:5:27 @ No one shall be weary nor stumble among them; no one shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the waistband of their loins be loosened, nor the thong of their sandals be broken;

vw@Isaiah:5:28 @ whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent; their horses’ hooves seem like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind.

vw@Isaiah:5:29 @ Their roaring shall be like a lion; they shall roar like young lions; and they shall roar and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and no one shall deliver it.

vw@Isaiah:5:30 @ And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea; and if one looks to the land, behold darkness and distress; and the light is darkened by clouds.

vw@Isaiah:6:1 @ In the year that King Uzziah died I then saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and His train filled the temple.

vw@Isaiah:6:2 @ Above it stood the seraphim; each one had six wings; with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.

vw@Isaiah:6:3 @ And one cried to another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is Jehovah of Hosts; the whole earth full of His glory!

vw@Isaiah:6:4 @ And the doorposts shook at the voice of the one who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.

vw@Isaiah:6:5 @ Then I said, Woe is me! for I am undone! for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Isaiah:6:6 @ Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with tongs from off the altar.

vw@Isaiah:6:7 @ And he applied it to my mouth and said, Lo, this has touched your lips; and your iniquity is taken away, and your sin is purged.

vw@Isaiah:6:8 @ And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us? Then I said, Here am I! Send me.

vw@Isaiah:6:9 @ And He said, Go, and tell this people, You listen to hear, but do not understand; you look to see, but do not perceive.

vw@Isaiah:6:10 @ Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their hearts, and turn back, and be healed.

vw@Isaiah:6:11 @ Then I said, Lord, how long? And He answered, Until the cities have been smashed to ruins without inhabitant, and the houses without a man, and the land is left devastated,

vw@Isaiah:6:12 @ and until Jehovah has sent the men far away, and the desolation in the midst of the land is great.

vw@Isaiah:6:13 @ But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return and be consumed like the terebinth and like the oak when it is cut down, whose stump remains. The holy seed is its stump.

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

vw@Isaiah:7:2 @ And it was told to the house of David, saying, Syria is allied with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the forest are swayed by the wind.

vw@Isaiah:7:3 @ Then Jehovah said to Isaiah, Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-Jashub your son, at the end of the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway to the Fuller’s Field.

vw@Isaiah:7:4 @ And say to him, Take care and be quiet. Do not fear, nor be softhearted because of the two tails of these smoking firebrands, because of the fierce anger of Rezin from Syria, and of the son of Remaliah;

vw@Isaiah:7:5 @ because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah have plotted against you, saying,

vw@Isaiah:7:6 @ Let us go up against Judah and trouble it, and break through the wall for ourselves, and set a king in the midst of it, the son of Tabeel.

vw@Isaiah:7:7 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah, It shall not stand, nor shall it come to pass.

vw@Isaiah:7:8 @ For the head of Syria is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim shall be broken so that it shall not be a people.

vw@Isaiah:7:9 @ And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah’s son. If you will not believe, surely you shall not be established.

vw@Isaiah:7:10 @ Furthermore Jehovah spoke again to Ahaz, saying,

vw@Isaiah:7:11 @ Ask for a sign from Jehovah your God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above.

vw@Isaiah:7:12 @ But Ahaz said, I will not ask, nor will I tempt Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:7:13 @ And He said, Hear now, O house of David; is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will you weary my God also?

vw@Isaiah:7:14 @ Therefore the Lord Himself shall give you a sign: Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bring forth a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel.

vw@Isaiah:7:15 @ Butter and honey He shall eat until He knows to refuse the evil and choose the good.

vw@Isaiah:7:16 @ For before the Child shall know to refuse the evil and choose the good, the land that you loathe shall be forsaken by both its kings.

vw@Isaiah:7:17 @ Jehovah shall bring upon you, and upon your people, and upon your father’s house, days that have not come since the days that Ephraim departed from Judah; even the king of Assyria.

vw@Isaiah:7:18 @ And it shall come to pass in that day that Jehovah shall whistle for the fly at the ends of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that is in the land of Assyria.

vw@Isaiah:7:19 @ And they shall come, and all of them shall rest in the steep valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and on all the thorns, and on all the pastures.

vw@Isaiah:7:20 @ In the same day the Lord shall shave with a hired razor, with those beyond the River, with the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet, and it shall also snatch away the beard.

vw@Isaiah:7:21 @ And it shall be in that day that a man shall keep alive a young cow and two sheep;

vw@Isaiah:7:22 @ so it will be that, from the abundance of milk which they shall give, that He shall eat butter; for everyone who is left in the land shall eat butter and honey.

vw@Isaiah:7:23 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, that every place where there were a thousand vines, worth a thousand pieces of silver, it shall even be for briers and thorns.

vw@Isaiah:7:24 @ With arrows and with bows, men shall come there, because all the land shall become briers and thorns.

vw@Isaiah:7:25 @ And all hills which were hoed with the hoe, you shall not come there for fear of briers and thorns; but it shall be a place to turn the ox loose, and for sheep to trample.

vw@Isaiah:8:1 @ And Jehovah said to me, Take a large scroll and write in it with a man’s pen: Maher-shalal-hash-baz. (which means, Hurry to the plunder! Make haste to the spoils!)

vw@Isaiah:8:2 @ And I took to myself faithful witnesses to record, Uriah the priest and Zechariah the son of Jeberechiah.

vw@Isaiah:8:3 @ And I went in to the prophetess, and she conceived and bore a son. Then Jehovah said to me, Call his name, Maher-shalal-hash-baz.

vw@Isaiah:8:4 @ For before the child shall have knowledge to cry, My father, and, My mother, the riches of Damascus and the spoils of Samaria shall be taken away before the king of Assyria.

vw@Isaiah:8:5 @ Jehovah also spoke to me again saying,

vw@Isaiah:8:6 @ Because this people has refused the waters of Shiloah that flow softly, and rejoice in Rezin and Remaliah’s son;

vw@Isaiah:8:7 @ therefore behold, the Lord brings up upon them the waters of the River, strong and abundant, even the king of Assyria and all his glory; and he shall come up over all his channels and go over all his banks.

vw@Isaiah:8:8 @ And he shall pass through Judah. He shall overflow and go over; he shall reach to the neck. And the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of Your land, O Immanuel.

vw@Isaiah:8:9 @ Suffer evil, O people, and be broken! Give ear, all you from distant lands. Gird yourselves and be broken. Gird yourselves and be broken!

vw@Isaiah:8:10 @ Take counsel and make plans, but they will be frustrated. Speak a word, but it shall not stand; for the Mighty God is with us.

vw@Isaiah:8:11 @ For Jehovah spoke thus to me with a strong hand, and warned me against walking in the way of this people, saying,

vw@Isaiah:8:12 @ Do not say, A conspiracy! to everything which this people calls, A conspiracy! And do not be afraid with their fear, nor be terrified.

vw@Isaiah:8:13 @ Sanctify Jehovah of Hosts Himself, and let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread.

vw@Isaiah:8:14 @ And He shall be a sanctuary for you; but a stone of stumbling, and a rock of falling to both the houses of Israel; and a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

vw@Isaiah:8:15 @ And many among them shall stumble and fall and be broken, and be snared, and be taken.

vw@Isaiah:8:16 @ Bind up the testimony, seal the Law among My disciples.

vw@Isaiah:8:17 @ And I will wait on Jehovah, who hides His face from the house of Jacob; and I will watch for Him.

vw@Isaiah:8:18 @ Behold, I and the children whom Jehovah has given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel, from Jehovah of Hosts who dwells in Mount Zion.

vw@Isaiah:8:19 @ And when they say to you, Consult the sorcerers and fortunetellers who peep and mutter; should not a people inquire of their God, rather than the living of the dead?

vw@Isaiah:8:20 @ To the Law and to the Testimony! If they do not speak according to this Word, it is because there is no light in them.

vw@Isaiah:8:21 @ And they shall pass through it, hard-pressed and hungry; and it shall come to pass that when they shall be hungry, that they shall be enraged and curse their king and their God, and look upward.

vw@Isaiah:8:22 @ And they shall look to the land; and behold, trouble and darkness and gloom of anguish! And they shall be thrust into darkness.

vw@Isaiah:9:1 @ Nevertheless the gloom shall not be upon her who was in distress, as in the former time when He brought contempt upon the land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali. For afterwards He will glorify the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

vw@Isaiah:9:2 @ The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them the light has shined.

vw@Isaiah:9:3 @ You have multiplied the nation, and not increased the joy. They rejoice before You according to the joy at harvest, and as men rejoice when they divide the spoils.

vw@Isaiah:9:4 @ For You have broken the yoke of his burden, and the staff of his shoulder, the rod of his taskmaster, as in the day of Midian.

vw@Isaiah:9:5 @ For every trembling boot of the warrior, and the garments rolled in blood, shall be fuel for burning in the fire.

vw@Isaiah:9:6 @ For unto us a Child is born, unto us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder; and His name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, The Strong and Mighty God, The Eternal Father, The Prince of Peace.

vw@Isaiah:9:7 @ Of the increase of His government and peace upon the throne of David there will be no end; and upon His kingdom, to order it and to establish it with judgment and with justice from now on, even forever. The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts will accomplish this.

vw@Isaiah:9:8 @ The Lord sent a Word to Jacob, and it has fallen upon Israel.

vw@Isaiah:9:9 @ And all the people shall know; Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and insolence of heart,

vw@Isaiah:9:10 @ The bricks have fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones; the sycamores are cut down, but we will use cedars instead.

vw@Isaiah:9:11 @ Therefore Jehovah shall set up the adversaries of Rezin against him, and spur his enemies on;

vw@Isaiah:9:12 @ the Syrians in front and the Philistines behind; and they shall devour Israel with open mouth. For all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

vw@Isaiah:9:13 @ For the people do not turn to Him who strikes them, nor do they seek Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Isaiah:9:14 @ Therefore Jehovah will cut off from Israel head and tail, branch and bulrush, in one day.

vw@Isaiah:9:15 @ The elder and honorable, he is the head; and the prophet who teaches lies, he is the tail.

vw@Isaiah:9:16 @ For the leaders of this people lead them astray; and those who are led by them are swallowed up.

vw@Isaiah:9:17 @ Therefore the Lord shall not rejoice over their young men, nor shall He have mercy on their orphans and widows; for everyone is a hypocrite and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks foolishness. In all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

vw@Isaiah:9:18 @ For wickedness burns like the fire; it shall devour the briers and thorns, and shall kindle in the thickets of the forest, and they shall billow up in a column of smoke.

vw@Isaiah:9:19 @ Through the wrath of Jehovah of Hosts the land is scorched, and the people shall be as fuel for the fire; no man shall have compassion on his brother.

vw@Isaiah:9:20 @ And he shall cut off on the right hand and be hungry; and he shall devour on the left, and they shall not be satisfied. Each man shall eat the flesh of his own arm;

vw@Isaiah:9:21 @ Manasseh, Ephraim; and Ephraim, Manasseh; and together they shall be against Judah. In all this His anger is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

vw@Isaiah:10:1 @ Woe to those who decree unrighteous decrees, and who have written and continue to write toil;

vw@Isaiah:10:2 @ to thrust aside the needy from judgment, and to rob the right from the poor of My people, that widows may be their prey, and that they may plunder the orphans!

vw@Isaiah:10:3 @ And what will you do in the day of judgment, and in destruction when it comes from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your glory?

vw@Isaiah:10:4 @ Without Me they shall bow down under the prisoners, and they shall fall under the slain. In all this His hand is not turned away, but His hand is stretched out still.

vw@Isaiah:10:5 @ Woe to Assyria, the rod of My anger! And the staff in their hand is My indignation.

vw@Isaiah:10:6 @ I will send him against a hypocritical nation, and against the people of My wrath. I will command him to draw out the plunder, and to seize the spoils, and to trample them like the mud of the streets.

vw@Isaiah:10:7 @ Yet he does not plan this, nor does his heart think so; but it is in his heart to destroy and cut off not a few nations.

vw@Isaiah:10:8 @ For he says, Are not my commanders all like kings?

vw@Isaiah:10:9 @ Is not Calno like Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?

vw@Isaiah:10:10 @ As my hand has found the kingdoms of the idols, whose graven images excelled those of Jerusalem and Samaria;

vw@Isaiah:10:11 @ shall I not do to Jerusalem and her idols as I have done to Samaria and her idols?

vw@Isaiah:10:12 @ And it shall come to pass, when the Lord has completed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that He will say, I will punish the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria and the glory of his haughty looks.

vw@Isaiah:10:13 @ For he says, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom; for I am discerning. And I have removed the borders of the people, and have robbed their treasures, and I have put down the inhabitants like a valiant man.

vw@Isaiah:10:14 @ And my hand has found, as a nest, the riches of the people; and as one gathers eggs that are left, I have gathered all the earth; and there was no one who moved the wing, or opened the mouth, or peeped.

vw@Isaiah:10:15 @ Shall the ax boast itself against him who chops with it? Shall the saw magnify itself against him who moves it? As if the rod could swing itself at those who lift it up! As if a staff could rise up, as though it were not wood!

vw@Isaiah:11:3 @ And He shall savor the fear of Jehovah. And He shall not judge according to the sight of His eyes, nor decide by the hearing of His ears.

vw@Isaiah:11:4 @ But with righteousness He shall judge the poor, and shall decide with equity for the meek of the earth. And He shall strike the earth with the rod of His mouth, and with the breath of His lips He shall slay the wicked.

vw@Isaiah:14:10 @ All of them shall speak and say to you, Are you also as weak as we? Have you become like us?

vw@Isaiah:14:11 @ Your arrogance is brought down to Sheol, and the noise of your lutes. The maggot is spread under you, and the worms cover you.

vw@Isaiah:14:12 @ How you are fallen from the heavens, O shining one, son of the morning! How you are cut down to the ground, you who weakened the nations!

vw@Isaiah:14:13 @ For you have said in your heart, I will ascend into the heavens, I will exalt my throne above the stars of the Mighty God; I will also sit on the mount of the appointed assembly, in the recesses of the north.

vw@Isaiah:14:18 @ All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house.

vw@Isaiah:14:19 @ But you are cast out of your grave like an abhorred branch, and like the apparel of those who are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the stones of the pit; like a carcass trampled under foot.

vw@Isaiah:14:20 @ You shall not be joined with them in burial, because you destroyed your land and killed your people; the seed of evildoers shall never be renowned.

vw@Isaiah:14:21 @ Prepare slaughter for his children because of the iniquity of their fathers, so that they may not rise nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

vw@Isaiah:14:22 @ For I will rise up against them, says Jehovah of Hosts, and cut off from Babylon the name and remnant, and offspring, and posterity, says Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:14:23 @ I will also make it a possession for the hedgehog, and marshes of muddy water; and I will sweep it with the broom of destruction, says Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Isaiah:14:24 @ Jehovah of Hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so it shall come to pass; and as I have purposed, so it shall stand;

vw@Isaiah:14:30 @ And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety; and I will kill your root with famine, and he shall slay your remnant.

vw@Isaiah:14:31 @ Howl, O gate! Cry, O city! O Philistia, all of you are melted away; for from the north a smoke comes, with no straggler in his ranks.

vw@Isaiah:14:32 @ What shall one then answer the messengers of the nation? That Jehovah has founded Zion, and the poor of His people shall take refuge in it.

vw@Isaiah:15:1 @ The burden of Moab. Because in the night Ar of Moab is laid waste; it is cut off; because in the night Kir of Moab is laid waste; it is cut off.

vw@Isaiah:15:2 @ One has gone up to the house, even to Dibon, the high places, to weep. Moab shall howl over Nebo, and over Medeba; baldness shall be on all their heads, and every beard cut off.

vw@Isaiah:15:3 @ In the streets they shall clothe themselves with sackcloth; on the tops of their houses and in their streets everyone shall howl, weeping bitterly.

vw@Isaiah:15:4 @ And Heshbon and Elealeh shall cry for help; their voice shall be heard as far as Jahaz. So the armed soldiers of Moab shall shout; he trembles for his life.

vw@Isaiah:15:5 @ My heart shall call out to Moab; his fugitives flee to Zoar like a three year old heifer. He goes up the ascent to Luhith with weeping; for in the way of Horonaim they shall raise up an outcry of destruction.

vw@Isaiah:15:6 @ For the waters of Nimrim are desolate; for the grass has dried up and the new grass fails; there is nothing green.

vw@Isaiah:15:7 @ Therefore they shall carry off the abundance they have produced and stored, over to the Brook of the Willows.

vw@Isaiah:15:8 @ For the cry has gone around all the borders of Moab, its howling even to Eglaim; its howling even to Beer-elim.

vw@Isaiah:15:9 @ For the waters of Dimon are full of blood, for I will lay more upon Dimon; upon the escapees of Moab, lions, even upon the remnant of the land.

vw@Isaiah:16:1 @ Send the lamb to the ruler of the land, from Sela of the wilderness, to the mount of the daughter of Zion.

vw@Isaiah:16:2 @ For it shall be as a fluttering bird cast out of the nest; so it shall be for the daughters of Moab at the fords of Arnon.

vw@Isaiah:16:3 @ Take counsel, execute judgment; make your shadow as night in the middle of the day; hide the outcasts; do not betray the one who flees.

vw@Isaiah:16:4 @ Let My outcasts dwell with you, Moab; be a shelter to them from the face of the destroyer; for the extortioner is at an end, the destroyer ceases, the oppressors are consumed out of the land.

vw@Isaiah:16:5 @ And in mercy the throne shall be established; and One shall sit on it in truth in the tent of David, judging and seeking swift justice in righteousness.

vw@Isaiah:16:6 @ We have heard of the pride of Moab; very proud; even of his haughtiness, and his pride, and his rage; but it is all empty talk.

vw@Isaiah:16:7 @ Therefore Moab shall howl for Moab, everyone shall howl. You shall mourn for the foundations of Kir-hareseth; surely they are stricken.

vw@Isaiah:16:8 @ For the fields of Heshbon languish, and the vine of Sibmah. The lords of the nations have beat down its choice plants which have come to Jazer, and wandered in the wilderness; her branches are stretched out, they have crossed over the sea.

vw@Isaiah:16:9 @ Therefore I will bewail the vine of Sibmah with the weeping of Jazer. I will drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh; for the shouting for your summer fruits and your harvest has fallen short.

vw@Isaiah:16:10 @ Gladness and joy are removed out of the plentiful field; and in the vineyards there is no singing and no shouting. The treader shall tread out no wine in the presses; I have made their shouting to cease.

vw@Isaiah:16:11 @ Therefore my stomach shall growl like a harp for Moab, and my inner being for Kir-heres.

vw@Isaiah:16:12 @ And it shall come to pass when it is seen that Moab is weary on the high place, that he shall come to his sanctuary to pray; but he shall not have enough strength.

vw@Isaiah:16:13 @ This is the Word which Jehovah has spoken to Moab since that time.

vw@Isaiah:17:2 @ The cities of Aroer are forsaken; now they are for flocks which lie down, and no one makes them afraid.

vw@Isaiah:17:3 @ And the fortress shall cease from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus, and the rest of Syria. They shall be as the glory of the children of Israel, says Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Isaiah:17:4 @ And it shall come to pass in that day that the glory of Jacob shall be laid low, and the fatness of his flesh shall be made lean.

vw@Isaiah:17:5 @ And it shall be as the gathering of grain at harvest, and his arm reaps the heads of grain. And it shall be as he who gathers heads of grain in the Valley of Rephaim.

vw@Isaiah:17:6 @ Yet gleaning grapes shall be left in it, like the shaking of an olive tree, where two or three ripe olives are in the top of the uppermost branch, with four or five in the fruitful branches of it, says Jehovah the God of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:17:7 @ In that day a man shall look to his Maker, and his eyes shall have respect to the Holy One of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:17:8 @ And he shall not look to the altars, the work of his hands, nor respect that which his fingers have made, neither the groves nor idols.

vw@Isaiah:17:9 @ In that day his strong cities shall be like a forsaken branch, and an uppermost branch, which they left because of the children of Israel; and it shall become a desolation.

vw@Isaiah:17:10 @ Because you have forgotten the God of your salvation, and have not been mindful of the Rock of your strength, therefore you shall plant pleasant plants and shall set strange shoots.

vw@Isaiah:18:3 @ All you inhabitants of the world and you dwelling on the earth, you see when he lifts up a banner on the mountains. And you hear when he blows the shofar.

vw@Isaiah:18:4 @ For thus Jehovah said to me, I will take My rest, and I will look on from My dwelling place, like radiant heat in the sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

vw@Isaiah:18:5 @ For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, then He will cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.

vw@Isaiah:18:6 @ They shall be left together to the birds of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth; and the birds shall summer on them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter on them.

vw@Isaiah:19:15 @ And Egypt shall have no work that the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.

vw@Isaiah:19:16 @ In that day Egypt shall be like women; and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of Hosts, which He shakes over it.

vw@Isaiah:19:17 @ And the land of Judah shall be a terror to Egypt; everyone who mentions it shall be afraid in himself because of the counsel of Jehovah of Hosts which He has devised against it.

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

vw@Isaiah:21:16 @ For Jehovah has said to me, Within a year, according to the year of a hireling, all the glory of Kedar shall fail;

vw@Isaiah:21:17 @ and the rest of the number of archers, the mighty men of the children of Kedar, shall be diminished; for Jehovah the God of Israel, has spoken.

vw@Isaiah:22:1 @ The burden against the Valley of Vision. What ails you now, that you have gone up to the housetops?

vw@Isaiah:22:2 @ The noisy city, the joyous city, is filled with turbulence. Your slain ones are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.

vw@Isaiah:22:3 @ All your rulers have fled together; they have been captured without the bow; all who are found in you have been captured together; they have fled from afar.

vw@Isaiah:22:4 @ Therefore I said, Look away from me; I will weep bitterly; do not insist on comforting me because of the devastation of the daughter of my people.

vw@Isaiah:22:5 @ For it is a day of trouble, and of trampling down, and of perplexity by Jehovah of Hosts in the Valley of Vision; of breaking down the walls, and of crying to the mountains.

vw@Isaiah:22:6 @ And Elam carried the quiver with chariots of men and horsemen, and Kir uncovered the shield.

vw@Isaiah:22:7 @ And it shall come to pass that your choicest valleys shall be full of chariots; and the horsemen shall surely be set in array at the gate.

vw@Isaiah:22:8 @ And he uncovered Judah’s covering, and you looked in that day to the armor of the House of the Forest.

vw@Isaiah:22:9 @ You have also seen the breaks in the city of David, that they are many; and you gathered the waters of the lower pool.

vw@Isaiah:22:10 @ And you have counted the houses of Jerusalem, and you have broken down the houses to fortify the wall.

vw@Isaiah:22:11 @ You also made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool; but you have not looked to its Maker, nor had regard for Him who formed it long ago.

vw@Isaiah:22:12 @ And in that day Jehovah of Hosts called for weeping and mourning, and for baldness, and for girding with sackcloth.

vw@Isaiah:22:13 @ But behold, joy and gladness, slaying oxen and killing sheep, eating flesh and drinking wine, saying, Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!

vw@Isaiah:22:14 @ And it was revealed in my ears by Jehovah of Hosts, Surely this iniquity shall not be atoned until you die, says the Lord Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Isaiah:22:15 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, Depart, go to this steward, to Shebna who is over the house, and say,

vw@Isaiah:22:16 @ What have you here? And who is here with you, that you have hewn out a tomb for yourself here, as one who proudly hews for himself a tomb, who carves out a dwelling place for himself in a rock?

vw@Isaiah:22:17 @ Behold, Jehovah will cast you away into captivity, O mighty man, and will grasp and wrap you up.

vw@Isaiah:22:18 @ He will wind up and whirl you like a ball into a large land; there you shall die, and there the chariots of your glory shall be the shame of your master’s house.

vw@Isaiah:22:19 @ And I will drive you from your position, and he will tear you down from your station.

vw@Isaiah:22:20 @ And in that day it shall be that I will call My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah;

vw@Isaiah:22:21 @ and I will clothe him with your robe, and will strengthen him with your sash, and I will entrust your rule into his hand. And he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

vw@Isaiah:22:22 @ And the key of the house of David I will lay on his shoulder; so he shall open, and no one shall shut; and he shall shut, and no one shall open.

vw@Isaiah:22:23 @ And I will fasten him as a peg in a firm place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father’s house.

vw@Isaiah:22:24 @ And they shall hang on him all the glory of his father’s house, the offspring and the offshoots, all insignificant vessels, from the vessels of cups, even to all the vessels of jars.

vw@Isaiah:22:25 @ In that day, says Jehovah of Hosts, the peg that is fastened in the firm place shall be removed, and be cut down and fall. And the burden that was on it shall be cut off; for Jehovah has spoken.

vw@Isaiah:23:1 @ The burden against Tyre: Howl, ships of Tarshish! For it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in. From the land of Kittim it is revealed to them.

vw@Isaiah:23:2 @ Be still, you inhabitants of the coast, merchants of Sidon, who pass over the sea. They have filled you.

vw@Isaiah:23:3 @ And by great waters, the seed of Sihor and the harvest of the River was her revenue; and she is a marketplace for the nations.

vw@Isaiah:23:4 @ Be ashamed, O Sidon; for the sea has spoken, the strength of the sea, saying, I have not travailed nor brought forth. I have not nourished young men nor raised up virgins.

vw@Isaiah:23:5 @ As the report comes to Egypt, so they shall be writhing in pain at the report of Tyre.

vw@Isaiah:23:6 @ Pass over to Tarshish. Howl, you inhabitants of the coast!

vw@Isaiah:23:7 @ Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is from ancient days; whose feet carried it to distant lands to sojourn?

vw@Isaiah:23:8 @ Who has advised this against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are rulers, whose traders are the honorable of the earth?

vw@Isaiah:23:9 @ Jehovah of Hosts has counseled it, to dishonor the pride of all glory and to bring into contempt all the honorable of the earth.

vw@Isaiah:23:10 @ Pass through your land like a river, O daughter of Tarshish; there is no more strength.

vw@Isaiah:23:11 @ He stretched out His hand over the sea; He shook the kingdoms. Jehovah has given a command against the merchant city, to destroy its strongholds.

vw@Isaiah:23:12 @ And He said, You shall rejoice no more, O crushed virgin daughter of Sidon. Arise, pass over to Kittim; there also you shall have no rest.

vw@Isaiah:23:13 @ Behold the land of the Chaldeans, this people which did not exist. Assyria founded it for those who live in the desert. They set up their siege-towers; they stripped its palaces; they made it a ruin.

vw@Isaiah:23:14 @ Howl, ships of Tarshish! For your strength is laid waste.

vw@Isaiah:23:15 @ And in that day Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king. At the end of seventy years, it shall be for Tyre as the song of a harlot.

vw@Isaiah:23:16 @ Take a harp, go about the city, O harlot who has been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs so that you may be remembered.

vw@Isaiah:23:17 @ And it shall be after the end of seventy years that Jehovah will visit Tyre, and she shall return to her hire and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.

vw@Isaiah:23:18 @ And her goods and her wages shall be set apart to Jehovah. It shall not be treasured nor laid up, for her goods shall be for those who dwell before Jehovah, to eat enough, and for fine clothing.

vw@Isaiah:24:1 @ Behold, Jehovah empties the earth and makes it bare, and distorts its face, and scatters its inhabitants.

vw@Isaiah:24:2 @ And as it is with the people, so it shall be with the priest; as with the servant, so with the master; as with the maid, so it is with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor.

vw@Isaiah:24:3 @ The land shall be completely emptied, and utterly plundered; for Jehovah has spoken this Word.

vw@Isaiah:24:4 @ The earth mourns and fades away; the world droops and fades away; the haughty people of the earth grow feeble.

vw@Isaiah:24:5 @ The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, and have broken the perpetual covenant.

vw@Isaiah:24:6 @ Therefore the curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell in it are held guilty; therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men are left.

vw@Isaiah:24:7 @ The new wine mourns, the vine droops, all the merry-hearted sigh.

vw@Isaiah:24:8 @ The mirth of the tambourines ceases; the tumult of the jubilant ends; the joy of the harp ceases.

vw@Isaiah:24:9 @ They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink is bitter to those who drink it.

vw@Isaiah:24:10 @ The city of emptiness is broken down; every house is shut up so that no one may come in.

vw@Isaiah:24:11 @ There is a cry for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the mirth of the land has gone.

vw@Isaiah:24:12 @ Desolation is left in the city, and the gate is battered and destroyed.

vw@Isaiah:24:13 @ For so it is in the midst of the land among the people. It shall be like the shaking of an olive tree, and as gleanings of grapes when the vintage has been finished.

vw@Isaiah:24:14 @ They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of Jehovah, they shall cry aloud from the sea.

vw@Isaiah:24:15 @ Therefore glorify Jehovah in the light of the fire, the name of the Lord Jehovah of Israel from the seashores.

vw@Isaiah:24:16 @ From the ends of the earth we have heard songs, glory to the righteous. But I said, Leanness to me! Leanness to me! Woe to me! Deceivers deceive, even with treachery. Deceivers deceive!

vw@Isaiah:24:17 @ Terror and the pit and the snare are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.

vw@Isaiah:24:18 @ And it shall be that he who flees from the sound of terror shall fall into the pit. And he who comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be caught in the snare. For the windows from on high are opened, and the foundations of the earth quake.

vw@Isaiah:24:19 @ The earth has been badly broken! The earth is split open and cracked through! The earth has shaken greatly and is tottering!

vw@Isaiah:24:20 @ Like a drunkard the earth is staggering back and forth! And it sways to and fro like a hut! Its transgressions have been heavy upon it; and it shall fall and not rise again.

vw@Isaiah:24:21 @ And it shall come to pass in that day that Jehovah will punish the host of the haughty ones on high; and on earth, the kings of the earth.

vw@Isaiah:24:22 @ And they shall be gathered, as prisoners are gathered in a dungeon. And they shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days they shall be visited.

vw@Isaiah:24:23 @ Then the moon shall be abashed, and the sun shall be ashamed, when Jehovah of Hosts shall reign on Mount Zion, in Jerusalem, and before His elders, in splendor.

vw@Isaiah:25:1 @ O Jehovah, You are my God; I will exalt You, I will praise Your name; for You have done wonders; Your counsels of old are steadfast faithfulness.

vw@Isaiah:25:2 @ For You have made a city into a heap; a fortified city into a ruin; a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be rebuilt.

vw@Isaiah:25:3 @ Therefore the strong people glorify You; the city of the ruthless nations shall fear You.

vw@Isaiah:25:4 @ For You are a refuge to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a shelter from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the ruthless ones is like a storm against the wall.

vw@Isaiah:25:5 @ You shall subdue the roaring of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud. The shouting of the terrible ones shall be pruned away.

vw@Isaiah:25:6 @ And on this mountain Jehovah of Hosts will make a feast of fatness for all the people, a feast of the dregs of wine, of fat things full of marrow, of the dregs of refined wine.

vw@Isaiah:25:7 @ And He will destroy on this mountain the surface of the covering wrapped over all people, and the veil that is woven over all nations.

vw@Isaiah:25:8 @ He will swallow up death forever; and the Lord Jehovah will wipe away tears from all faces. And He will take away from all the earth the rebuke of His people. For Jehovah has spoken.

vw@Isaiah:25:9 @ And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God. We have waited for Him, and He will save us. This is Jehovah; we have waited for Him, we will be glad and rejoice in His salvation.

vw@Isaiah:25:10 @ For the hand of Jehovah shall rest on this mountain, and Moab shall be trampled under Him, even as straw is trampled in the water of a dung pit.

vw@Isaiah:25:11 @ And He shall spread out His hands in their midst, as he who swims strokes to swim. And He will bring down their pride along with the deceit of their hands.

vw@Isaiah:25:12 @ And the fortress of the high fort of your walls He will lay low, bring down to the ground, to the dust.

vw@Isaiah:26:1 @ In that day this song shall be sung in the land of Judah: We have a strong city; He sets up salvation as our walls and bulwarks.

vw@Isaiah:26:2 @ Open the gates, that the righteous nation, keeping faithfulness, may enter in.

vw@Isaiah:26:3 @ You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You; because he trusts in You.

vw@Isaiah:26:4 @ Trust in Jehovah forever; for in YAH JEHOVAH is everlasting strength.

vw@Isaiah:26:5 @ For He brings down those who dwell on high; He lays low the lofty city; He lays it low, even to the ground; He brings it down to the dust.

vw@Isaiah:26:6 @ The foot shall trample it, the feet of the poor and the steps of the weak.

vw@Isaiah:26:7 @ The way of the just is equity; O Upright One, You weigh the path of the just.

vw@Isaiah:26:8 @ Yea, in the way of Your judgments, O Jehovah, we have waited for You; for the desire of our soul is Your name and the remembrance of You.

vw@Isaiah:26:9 @ With my soul I have desired You in the night; yea, with my spirit within me I will seek You early; for when Your judgments are in the earth, the inhabitants of the world learn righteousness.

vw@Isaiah:26:10 @ Let favor be shown to the wicked, yet he will not learn righteousness; in the land of uprightness he will deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:26:11 @ Jehovah, when Your hand is lifted up, they will not see; but they shall see and be ashamed for their envy toward the people. Yes, the fire of Your enemies shall devour them.

vw@Isaiah:26:12 @ Jehovah, You will establish peace for us; for You have also done all our works in us.

vw@Isaiah:26:13 @ O Jehovah our God, masters besides You have had the rule over us; but by You only will we make mention of Your name.

vw@Isaiah:26:14 @ Those who are dead do not live; spirits of the dead do not rise. Therefore You have punished and destroyed them, and made all memory of them to perish.

vw@Isaiah:26:15 @ You have increased the nation, O Jehovah, You have increased the nation; You are glorified; You have extended it to the ends of the earth.

vw@Isaiah:26:16 @ Jehovah, in trouble they have visited You; they have poured out a prayer when Your chastening was upon them.

vw@Isaiah:26:17 @ As a woman with child draws near to giving birth, she writhes and cries out in her pangs; so have we been in Your sight, O Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:26:18 @ We have conceived; we have writhed in pain; but we have given birth (as it were) to wind. We have not produced any salvation in the earth; nor have the inhabitants of the world fallen out in birth.

vw@Isaiah:26:19 @ Your dead ones shall live, together with My dead body they shall arise. Awake and sing, you who dwell in the dust; for your dew is as the dew of the light, and the earth shall cast out the dead.

vw@Isaiah:26:20 @ Come, my people, enter into your rooms and shut your doors behind you; hide (as it were) for a few moments, until the indignation has passed.

vw@Isaiah:26:21 @ For behold, Jehovah comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall no more cover her slain.

vw@Isaiah:27:1 @ In that day Jehovah with His great and fierce and strong sword shall punish Leviathan, the fleeing serpent; Leviathan, that twisted serpent; and He shall kill the dragon in the sea.

vw@Isaiah:27:2 @ In that day sing to her, a vineyard of desirable wine.

vw@Isaiah:27:3 @ I, Jehovah, keep it; I will water it every moment; lest any hurt it, I will keep it night and day.

vw@Isaiah:27:4 @ Fury is not in Me; who would set the briers and thorns against Me in battle? I would march through them; I would burn them together.

vw@Isaiah:27:5 @ Or let them take hold of My strength, that he may make peace with Me; and he shall make peace with Me.

vw@Isaiah:27:6 @ He shall cause those who come from Jacob to take root; Israel shall blossom and bud, and fill the face of the world with fruit.

vw@Isaiah:27:7 @ Has He struck him, as He struck those who struck Him? Is He slain according to the slaughter of those slain by Him?

vw@Isaiah:27:8 @ In driving and sending her away, you contend with her. He removes His fierce wind, in the day of the east wind.

vw@Isaiah:27:9 @ Therefore by this shall the iniquity of Jacob be atoned; and this is all the fruit to take away his sin; when he makes all the stones of the altar as chalkstones that are beaten in pieces, the groves and idols shall not stand.

vw@Isaiah:27:10 @ Yet the fortified city shall be desolate, and the dwelling forsaken and left like a wilderness; there shall the calf feed, and there shall it lie down and finish off its branches.

vw@Isaiah:27:11 @ When its branches are dried up, they shall be broken off; the women come and set them on fire; for it is a people of no understanding. Therefore He who made them will not have mercy on them, and He who formed them will show them no favor.

vw@Isaiah:27:12 @ And it shall be in that day that Jehovah will thresh from the flowing stream to the river of Egypt, and you shall be gathered one by one, O children of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:27:13 @ And it shall be in that day that the great shofar shall be blown, and those about to perish in the land of Assyria shall come, along with the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall bow down to Jehovah in the holy mountain at Jerusalem.

vw@Isaiah:28:1 @ Woe to the crown of pride, to the drunkards of Ephraim, whose glorious beauty is a fading flower which is at the head of the lush valleys of those who are overcome with wine!

vw@Isaiah:28:2 @ Behold, the Lord is a mighty and strong one, like a hailstorm, a destroying storm; like a flood of mighty waters overflowing, He casts down to the earth with the hand.

vw@Isaiah:28:3 @ The crown of pride, the drunkards of Ephraim, shall be trampled under foot;

vw@Isaiah:28:4 @ and the glorious beauty at the head of the lush valley shall be a fading flower, and as the first-ripe fruit before the summer; which, the one looking at it swallows up while it is yet in his hand.

vw@Isaiah:28:5 @ In that day Jehovah of Hosts shall be for a crown of glory and for a diadem of beauty to the rest of His people,

vw@Isaiah:28:6 @ and for a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and for strength to those who turn back the battle at the gate.

vw@Isaiah:28:7 @ But they also have erred through wine, and through strong drink have gone astray. The priest and the prophet have erred through strong drink; they are swallowed up by wine; they have gone astray through strong drink; they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.

vw@Isaiah:28:8 @ For all tables are full of vomit and excrement; no place is clean.

vw@Isaiah:28:9 @ To whom shall He teach knowledge? And whom shall He make to understand the message? Those weaned from the milk and removed from the breasts.

vw@Isaiah:28:10 @ For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little;

vw@Isaiah:28:11 @ for with stammering lips and another tongue He will speak to this people.

vw@Isaiah:28:12 @ To whom He said, This is the rest; cause the weary to rest; and this is the refreshing. Yet they were not willing to hear.

vw@Isaiah:28:13 @ But the Word of Jehovah was to them, Precept upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, there a little; that they might go and fall backward, and be broken and snared and caught.

vw@Isaiah:28:14 @ Therefore hear the Word of Jehovah, you scornful men who rule this people in Jerusalem.

vw@Isaiah:28:15 @ Because you have said, We have made a covenant with death, and we have made an agreement with Sheol; when the overflowing scourge shall have gone and passed through, it shall not come upon us; for we have made lies our refuge, and we have hidden ourselves under falsehood.

vw@Isaiah:28:16 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I have founded in Zion a Stone, a tried Stone, a precious Cornerstone, a sure Foundation; he who trusts in It shall not be anxious.

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

vw@Isaiah:28:18 @ And your covenant with death shall be covered over, and your agreement with Sheol shall not stand; when the overwhelming scourge shall pass through, then you shall be trampled down by it.

vw@Isaiah:28:19 @ From the time that it goes out it shall take you; for morning by morning it shall pass over, by day and by night; and it shall be a terror just to understand the report.

vw@Isaiah:28:20 @ For the bed is too short to stretch out on, and the cover is too narrow to wrap oneself in it.

vw@Isaiah:28:21 @ For Jehovah shall rise up as at Mount Perazim; He will be angry as in the valley of Gibeon, so that He may do His deeds, His strange deeds; and bring to pass His works, His unusual works.

vw@Isaiah:28:22 @ So then do not be mockers, lest your bonds be made strong; for I have heard from the Lord Jehovah of Hosts that an annihilation is decreed upon the whole earth.

vw@Isaiah:28:23 @ Give ear and hear my voice; listen, and hear my speech.

vw@Isaiah:28:24 @ Does the plowman plow all day to sow? Does he loosen and harrow his ground?

vw@Isaiah:28:25 @ When he has leveled its surface, does he not scatter the black cumin and sprinkle the cumin, and plant the wheat in rows and mark off the barley and spelt in their boundaries?

vw@Isaiah:28:26 @ For God instructs him to do right; and teaches him.

vw@Isaiah:28:27 @ For the black cumin is not threshed with a threshing instrument, nor is a cart wheel turned on cumin; but the black cumin is beaten out with a stick and the cumin with a rod.

vw@Isaiah:28:28 @ Bread flour is ground. But one does not continue treading and threshing it; nor does he destroy it with his cart wheel; nor pulverize it with his horse.

vw@Isaiah:28:29 @ This also comes forth from Jehovah of Hosts, who is wonderful in counsel, and excels in sound wisdom.

vw@Isaiah:29:1 @ Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelt! Snatch away year after year; let the feasts come around.

vw@Isaiah:29:2 @ Then I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow; and it shall be to me as Ariel.

vw@Isaiah:29:3 @ And I will encamp against you all around, and will lay siege against you with a mount, and I will raise siege works against you.

vw@Isaiah:29:4 @ And you shall be brought down; you shall speak out of the ground, and your speech shall be low out of the dust, and your voice shall be like a medium out of the ground, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.

vw@Isaiah:29:5 @ And the multitude of your strangers shall be like fine dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passes away; yea, it shall be in an instant, suddenly.

vw@Isaiah:29:6 @ You shall be visited by Jehovah of Hosts with thunder, and with earthquake and loud sounds, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.

vw@Isaiah:29:7 @ And the multitude of all the nations who fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, shall be like a dream of a night vision.

vw@Isaiah:29:8 @ It shall even be as when a hungry one dreams, and behold, he eats, but he awakes and his soul is still empty; or as when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks, but he awakes, and behold, he is still faint and his soul craves. So shall it be with the multitude of all the nations who fight against mount Zion.

vw@Isaiah:29:9 @ Wait and wonder! Smear your eyes shut, blind! They have become drunk, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.

vw@Isaiah:29:10 @ For Jehovah has poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes; He has covered the prophets and your heads, the seers.

vw@Isaiah:29:11 @ And the vision of all has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which they give to one who is literate saying, Please read this; and he says, I cannot, for it is sealed.

vw@Isaiah:29:12 @ And the book is delivered to him who is not literate, saying, Please read this; and he says, I am not literate.

vw@Isaiah:29:13 @ Therefore Jehovah said, Whereas this people draw near with their mouth, and honor Me with their lips, but have removed their hearts far from Me, and their fear toward Me is taught by the commandment of men;

vw@Isaiah:29:14 @ therefore, behold, I will again do among this people something extraordinary and wonderful. For the wisdom of their wise ones shall perish, and the understanding of their intelligent ones shall be hidden.

vw@Isaiah:29:15 @ Woe to those who are profound to hide their counsel from Jehovah! And their works are in the dark, and they say, Who sees us? And, Who knows us?

vw@Isaiah:29:16 @ O your perversity! Shall the former be esteemed as the potter’s clay; for shall the product say of him who made it, He did not make me? Or shall the thing formed say to him who formed it, He has had no understanding?

vw@Isaiah:29:17 @ Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest.

vw@Isaiah:29:18 @ And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of their gloom and darkness.

vw@Isaiah:29:19 @ And the meek shall increase their joy in Jehovah, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:29:20 @ For the terrible one is brought to nothing, and the scorner is destroyed, and all who look after iniquity are cut off;

vw@Isaiah:29:21 @ those who induce a man to sin by a word, and lay a snare for the judge in the gate, and turn aside the just for vanity.

vw@Isaiah:29:22 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: Jacob shall not now be ashamed, nor shall his face now become pale.

vw@Isaiah:29:23 @ But when he sees his children, the work of My hands, in his midst, they shall sanctify My name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:29:24 @ Those who erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and those who murmured shall learn doctrine.

vw@Isaiah:30:1 @ Woe to the rebellious children, says Jehovah, who take counsel, but not of Me; and who pour out drink offerings, but not of My Spirit; that they sweep away sin after sin;

vw@Isaiah:30:2 @ who set out to go down to Egypt and have not asked at My mouth, to strengthen themselves in the refuge of Pharaoh and to trust in the shadow of Egypt!

vw@Isaiah:30:3 @ Therefore the refuge of Pharaoh shall be your shame, and the trust in the shadow of Egypt shall be your reproach.

vw@Isaiah:30:4 @ For his rulers were at Zoan, and his ambassadors came to Hanes.

vw@Isaiah:30:5 @ They were all ashamed of a people who could not benefit them, nor be a help nor gain, but a shame and also a reproach.

vw@Isaiah:30:6 @ The burden concerning the beasts of the south. Into the land of trouble and anguish, from where the lioness and the lion come; the viper, and the fiery flying serpent; they carry their riches on the shoulders of young asses, and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people that cannot profit them.

vw@Isaiah:30:7 @ For Egypt helps in vain, and unto emptiness. Therefore I have proclaimed concerning this, Their arrogance will be to sit still.

vw@Isaiah:30:8 @ Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and note it in a book, so that it may be for time to come forever and ever,

vw@Isaiah:30:9 @ that this is a rebellious people, lying children; children who will not hear the Law of Jehovah;

vw@Isaiah:30:10 @ who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Do not prophesy to us right things, speak to us smooth things, prophesy deception;

vw@Isaiah:30:11 @ turn away from the path, thrust aside from the way, desist from the Holy One of Israel from before us.

vw@Isaiah:30:12 @ Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because you have despised this Word, and trust in oppression and perversity, and lean on them;

vw@Isaiah:30:13 @ therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, a bulge in a high wall, whose crashing comes suddenly in an instant.

vw@Isaiah:30:14 @ And He shall break it as the breaking of the potters’ vessel that is broken in pieces. He shall not spare, so that there shall not be found in the fragments of it a shard with which to take fire from the hearth, or to take water out of the cistern.

vw@Isaiah:30:15 @ For thus says the Lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, In returning and rest you shall be saved; and in quietness and confidence shall be your strength. But you were not willing.

vw@Isaiah:30:16 @ But you said, No; for we will flee on horses. Therefore you shall flee. And you said, We will ride on the swift; therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.

vw@Isaiah:30:17 @ One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of one; at the rebuke of five you shall flee, until you are left as a beacon on the top of a mountain, and as a sign on a hill.

vw@Isaiah:30:18 @ And so Jehovah waits to be gracious to you. And therefore He is exalted, that He may have mercy on you; for Jehovah is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for Him.

vw@Isaiah:30:19 @ For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; you shall weep no more. He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry. When He hears it, He will answer you.

vw@Isaiah:30:20 @ And though Jehovah gives you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet your teachers shall not be removed into a corner any more, but your eyes shall see your teachers.

vw@Isaiah:30:21 @ And your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, This is the way, walk in it, when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left.

vw@Isaiah:30:22 @ You shall also defile the covering of your graven images of silver, and the ornament of your molten images of gold. You shall cast them away like a menstruous cloth. You shall say to them, Get away!

vw@Isaiah:30:23 @ Then He shall give the rain for your seed with which you sow the ground. And the bread of the produce of the earth also shall be fat and plentiful. In that day your cattle shall feed in large pastures.

vw@Isaiah:30:24 @ Also the oxen and the young asses that plow the ground shall eat cured fodder, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.

vw@Isaiah:30:25 @ And there shall be on every high mountain, and on every high hill, rivers, streams of waters in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.

vw@Isaiah:30:26 @ And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah binds up the breach of His people and heals the stroke of their wound.

vw@Isaiah:30:27 @ Behold, the name of Jehovah comes from afar, burning with His anger, and the burden of it is heavy; His lips are full of indignation, and His tongue like a devouring fire.

vw@Isaiah:30:28 @ And like an overflowing stream, His breath shall reach up to the middle of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity. And there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to go astray.

vw@Isaiah:30:29 @ You shall have a song, as in the night when a holy feast is consecrated; and gladness of heart, as when one goes with a flute to come into the mountain of Jehovah, to the Mighty One of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:30:30 @ And Jehovah shall cause His glorious voice to be heard, and shall cause to be seen the bringing down of His arm, with raging anger and flame of a devouring fire, with driving storm, cloudburst and hailstones.

vw@Isaiah:30:31 @ For through the voice of Jehovah, Assyria shall be beaten down, as struck with a rod.

vw@Isaiah:30:32 @ And in every place where the appointed staff shall pass, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, it shall be with tambourines and harps. In war with brandishing He will engage the battle.

vw@Isaiah:30:33 @ For Tophet was arranged in order of old; yea, for the king it is prepared. He has made it deep and large. He makes a fire with much wood. The breath of Jehovah kindles it like a torrent of brimstone.

vw@Isaiah:31:1 @ Woe to those who go down to Egypt for help, and lean on horses and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are so very strong; but they do not look to the Holy One of Israel, nor do they seek Jehovah!

vw@Isaiah:31:2 @ Yet He also is wise, and will bring evil, and will not call back His Words, but will arise against the house of evildoers and against the help of those who work iniquity.

vw@Isaiah:31:3 @ Now Egypt is a man, and not the Mighty God; and their horses are flesh, and not Spirit. When Jehovah shall stretch out His hand, both he who helps shall fall, and he who is helped shall fall down, and they shall all be finished together.

vw@Isaiah:31:4 @ For thus has Jehovah spoken to me: As the lion roars, and the young lion over his prey when a multitude of shepherds are summoned against him (he will not be afraid of their voice, nor fret himself because of their noise), so Jehovah of Hosts shall come down to fight for Mount Zion, and for its hill.

vw@Isaiah:31:5 @ As birds flying, so Jehovah of Hosts will defend Jerusalem; also defending, He will deliver it; and passing over He will preserve it.

vw@Isaiah:31:6 @ Return to Him, against whom the children of Israel have deeply revolted.

vw@Isaiah:31:7 @ For in that day every man shall reject his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which your hands have made for you, a sin.

vw@Isaiah:31:8 @ Then Assyria shall fall by the sword, not of man; and the sword, not of mankind, shall devour him. For he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become forced labor.

vw@Isaiah:31:9 @ And he shall pass over to his stronghold for fear, and his rulers shall be afraid of the banner, says Jehovah, whose fire is in Zion, and His furnace in Jerusalem.

vw@Isaiah:32:1 @ Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and rulers shall rule with justice.

vw@Isaiah:32:2 @ And a man shall be as a hiding place from the wind, and a shelter from the tempest, like streams of water in a dry place, like the shade of a huge rock in a weary land.

vw@Isaiah:32:3 @ And the eyes of those who see shall not be dim, and the ears of those who hear shall listen.

vw@Isaiah:32:4 @ And the heart of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of those who stutter shall be ready to speak plainly.

vw@Isaiah:32:5 @ The fool shall no more be called noble, nor the miser said to be bountiful.

vw@Isaiah:32:6 @ For the fool will speak folly, and his heart will work iniquity; to practice hypocrisy and to speak error against Jehovah, to empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to be lacking.

vw@Isaiah:32:7 @ Also the implements of the scoundrel are evil; he devises wicked plans to destroy the poor with lying words, even when the needy speaks justice.

vw@Isaiah:32:8 @ But the noble devises noble things; and by noble things he shall stand.

vw@Isaiah:32:9 @ Rise up, you women who are at ease; hear my voice, you careless daughters; listen to my speech.

vw@Isaiah:32:10 @ Many days and years you shall be troubled, you careless women; for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.

vw@Isaiah:32:11 @ Tremble, you women at ease; be troubled, you careless ones; strip yourselves and make yourselves bare, and gird sackcloth on your loins.

vw@Isaiah:32:12 @ They shall mourn for the breasts, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.

vw@Isaiah:32:13 @ On the land of my people shall come up thorns and briers; yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city;

vw@Isaiah:32:14 @ because the palaces shall be abandoned, the multitude of the city shall be deserted. Instead, the mound and tower shall be for dens forever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;

vw@Isaiah:32:15 @ until the Spirit is poured on us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is esteemed as a forest.

vw@Isaiah:32:16 @ Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness shall remain in the fruitful field.

vw@Isaiah:32:17 @ And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the service of righteousness shall be quietness and assurance forever.

vw@Isaiah:32:18 @ And my people shall dwell in a peaceful habitation, and in secure dwellings and in quiet resting places,

vw@Isaiah:32:19 @ though it hails upon the forest, and the city is laid low.

vw@Isaiah:32:20 @ Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send free the feet of the ox and the ass.

vw@Isaiah:33:1 @ Woe to the destroyer, and you have not been destroyed; and the betrayer, and they have not betrayed you. When you stop destroying, you shall be destroyed. When you stop betraying, they shall betray you.

vw@Isaiah:33:2 @ O Jehovah, be gracious to us; we have waited for You. Be their arm every morning; our salvation also in the time of trouble.

vw@Isaiah:33:3 @ At the sound of the tumult the people have fled; at the lifting up of Yourself the nations have been scattered.

vw@Isaiah:33:4 @ And your spoils shall be gathered as the locust gathers; as the running to and fro of locusts he shall run upon them.

vw@Isaiah:33:5 @ Jehovah is exalted, for He dwells on high. He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.

vw@Isaiah:33:6 @ Wisdom and knowledge shall be the steadfastness of your times, and the strength of salvation; the fear of Jehovah is His treasure.

vw@Isaiah:33:7 @ Behold, their mighty ones shall cry outside; the messengers of peace shall weep bitterly.

vw@Isaiah:33:8 @ The highways lie waste, the traveler ceases. He has broken the covenant. He has despised the cities. He has had regard for no man.

vw@Isaiah:33:9 @ The earth mourns and has grown feeble. Lebanon is ashamed and withers; Sharon is like a wilderness; Bashan and Carmel are shaken out like empty fruit trees.

vw@Isaiah:33:10 @ Now I will arise, says Jehovah; now I will be exalted; now I will lift up Myself.

vw@Isaiah:33:11 @ You shall conceive chaff, you shall bring forth stubble; your breath, like fire, shall devour you.

vw@Isaiah:33:12 @ And the people shall be like the burnings of lime; like thorns cut up they shall be burned in the fire.

vw@Isaiah:33:13 @ You who are far off, hear what I have done; and you who are near, perceive and know My might.

vw@Isaiah:33:14 @ The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling has taken hold of the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?

vw@Isaiah:33:15 @ He who walks righteously and speaks with equity; he who despises the gain of oppressions, who shakes his hands free from holding bribes, who stops his ear from hearing of blood, and shuts his eyes from seeing evil;

vw@Isaiah:33:16 @ he shall dwell on high; his refuge shall be the strongholds of rocks; bread shall be given him; his waters shall be sure.

vw@Isaiah:33:17 @ Your eyes shall see the King in His beauty; they shall behold the land that is very far off.

vw@Isaiah:33:18 @ Your heart shall muse on terror. Where is the scribe? Where is the one who weighs? Where is the one who counts the towers?

vw@Isaiah:33:19 @ You shall not see a fierce people, a people of unintelligible speech that you cannot perceive; of a stammering tongue that you cannot understand.

vw@Isaiah:33:20 @ Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed meetings; your eyes shall see Jerusalem, a quiet home, a tent that shall not be taken down; not one of its stakes shall ever be removed, nor shall any of its cords be broken.

vw@Isaiah:33:21 @ But there the glorious Jehovah will be to us a place of broad rivers and streams, in which no galley with oars shall go, nor shall majestic ships pass by.

vw@Isaiah:33:22 @ For Jehovah is our Judge, Jehovah is our Lawgiver, Jehovah is our King; He will save us.

vw@Isaiah:33:23 @ Your ropes are loosened, they could not hold the base of the mast, they could not spread the sail. Then the prey of a great plunder is divided; the lame take the spoils.

vw@Isaiah:33:24 @ And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick; the iniquity of the people who dwell there shall be taken away.

vw@Isaiah:34:1 @ Come near, you nations, to hear; and you people, pay attention; let the earth hear, and its fullness; the world, and all its offspring.

vw@Isaiah:34:2 @ For the wrath of Jehovah is upon all nations, and His fury upon all their armies. He has utterly destroyed them, He has delivered them to the slaughter.

vw@Isaiah:34:3 @ Also their slain shall be thrown out, and their stench shall come up out of their corpses, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.

vw@Isaiah:34:4 @ And all the host of the heavens shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll; and all their host shall wither, as a leaf withers off the vine, and as fruit falling from the fig tree.

vw@Isaiah:34:5 @ For My sword is drenched in the heavens. Behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of My curse, for judgment.

vw@Isaiah:34:6 @ The sword of Jehovah is filled with blood; it is made fat with fatness, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for Jehovah has a sacrifice in Bozrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.

vw@Isaiah:34:7 @ And the oryx shall come down with them, and the young bulls with the mighty; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness.

vw@Isaiah:34:8 @ For it is the day of Jehovah’s vengeance, the year of retribution for the strife against Zion.

vw@Isaiah:34:9 @ And its streams shall be turned into pitch, and its dust into brimstone, and its land shall become burning pitch.

vw@Isaiah:34:10 @ It shall not be quenched night or day; its smoke shall ascend forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste; no one shall pass through it forever and forever.

vw@Isaiah:34:11 @ But the pelican and the porcupine shall possess it; the owl also, and the raven, shall dwell in it. And He shall stretch out over it the line of chaos, and the stones of emptiness.

vw@Isaiah:34:12 @ They shall call its nobles to the kingdom, but no one shall be there, and all its rulers shall be nothing.

vw@Isaiah:34:13 @ And thorns shall come up in its palaces, nettles and thistles in its fortresses; and it shall be a habitation of dragons and a dwelling for young owls.

vw@Isaiah:34:14 @ The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the howling beasts; and the shaggy goat shall cry to his fellow. The night creature also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest.

vw@Isaiah:34:15 @ There the great owl shall make her nest, and lay and hatch, and gather them under her shadow; there shall the birds of prey also be gathered, every one with her mate.

vw@Isaiah:34:16 @ Search from the book of Jehovah, and read; not one of these shall fail, not one shall lack her mate; for My mouth has commanded, and His Spirit has gathered them.

vw@Isaiah:34:17 @ And He has cast the lot for them, and His hand has divided it unto them by measuring line; they shall possess it perpetually, from generation to generation they shall dwell in it.

vw@Isaiah:35:1 @ The wilderness and the desert shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose.

vw@Isaiah:35:2 @ It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the splendor of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of Jehovah and the majesty of our God.

vw@Isaiah:35:3 @ Make the weak hands strong, and make the feeble knees secure.

vw@Isaiah:35:4 @ Say to those of anxious heart, Be strong, fear not! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God. He will come and save you.

vw@Isaiah:35:5 @ Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.

vw@Isaiah:35:6 @ Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing. For in the wilderness waters shall break out, and streams in the desert.

vw@Isaiah:35:7 @ And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land shall become springs of water, in the habitation of dragons where they dwell, a place for grass with reeds and rushes.

vw@Isaiah:35:8 @ And a highway shall be there, even a road; and it shall be called, The Way of Holiness. The unclean shall not pass over it. Whoever travels on it, though a fool, shall not go astray.

vw@Isaiah:35:9 @ No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up on it; they shall not be found there. But only the redeemed shall walk there.

vw@Isaiah:35:10 @ And the ransomed of Jehovah shall return and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy on their heads; they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

vw@Isaiah:36:1 @ Now it came to pass in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah that Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and took them.

vw@Isaiah:36:2 @ And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to King Hezekiah, with a great army. And he stood by the aqueduct of the upper pool, on the highway to the Fuller’s Field.

vw@Isaiah:36:3 @ Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, came out to him.

vw@Isaiah:36:4 @ And Rabshakeh said to them, Say now to Hezekiah, Thus says the great king, the king of Assyria, What confidence is this in which you trust?

vw@Isaiah:36:5 @ You say (but they are only words of the lips), I have counsel and strength for war. Now, in whom do you trust, that you rebel against me?

vw@Isaiah:36:6 @ Lo, you trust in the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; on which, if a man leans on it, it will go into his hand and pierce it. So is Pharaoh king of Egypt to all who trust in him.

vw@Isaiah:36:7 @ But if you say to me, We trust in Jehovah our God; is it not He whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away, and said to Judah and Jerusalem, You shall bow down before this altar?

vw@Isaiah:36:8 @ Now then, please exchange pledges with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are even able on your part to put riders on them.

vw@Isaiah:36:9 @ How then will you repel the face of one commander of the least of my master’s servants, and put your trust in Egypt for chariots and for horsemen?

vw@Isaiah:36:10 @ Have I now come up without Jehovah against this land to destroy it? Jehovah said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it.

vw@Isaiah:36:11 @ Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to Rabshakeh, Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, for we understand it. But do not speak to us in the Jewish language in the ears of the people who are on the wall.

vw@Isaiah:36:12 @ But Rabshakeh said, Has my master sent me to your master and to you to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?

vw@Isaiah:36:13 @ Then Rabshakeh stood and called out with a loud voice in the Jewish language and said, Hear the words of the great king, the king of Assyria!

vw@Isaiah:36:14 @ Thus says the king, Do not let Hezekiah deceive you, for he shall not be able to deliver you!

vw@Isaiah:36:15 @ Nor let Hezekiah make you trust in Jehovah, saying, Jehovah will deliver, to rescue us; this city shall not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria!

vw@Isaiah:36:16 @ Do not listen to Hezekiah; for thus says the king of Assyria, Make a peace treaty with me, and come out to me; and let everyone eat of his vine, and everyone of his fig tree, and everyone drink the waters of his own cistern,

vw@Isaiah:36:17 @ until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and fresh wine, a land of bread and vineyards!

vw@Isaiah:36:18 @ Let not Hezekiah persuade you, saying, Jehovah will deliver us. Have any of the gods of the nations delivered their land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

vw@Isaiah:36:19 @ Where are the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where are the gods of Sepharvaim? Indeed, have they delivered Samaria out of my hand?

vw@Isaiah:36:20 @ Who among all the gods of these lands have delivered their land out of my hand, that Jehovah should deliver Jerusalem out of my hand?

vw@Isaiah:36:21 @ But they kept silent and did not answer him a word, for the king’s command said, Do not answer him.

vw@Isaiah:36:22 @ Then Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah the son of Asaph the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothes torn, and reported to him the words of Rabshakeh.

vw@Isaiah:37:1 @ And it happened when King Hezekiah heard it that he tore his clothes and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:37:2 @ And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, to Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz.

vw@Isaiah:37:3 @ And they said to him, Thus says Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble and of rebuke and of blasphemy! For the children have come to the birth, and there is no strength to bring forth.

vw@Isaiah:37:4 @ It may be that Jehovah your God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which Jehovah your God has heard. Therefore, lift up your prayer for the remnant that is left.

vw@Isaiah:37:5 @ So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

vw@Isaiah:37:6 @ And Isaiah said to them, Thus shall you say to your master, Thus says Jehovah, Do not be afraid of the words which you have heard, with which the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed Me.

vw@Isaiah:37:7 @ Behold, I will send a spirit upon him, and he shall hear a rumor and return to his own land. And I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.

vw@Isaiah:37:8 @ So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah; for he had heard that he had departed from Lachish.

vw@Isaiah:37:9 @ And he heard concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia saying, He has come out to wage war with you. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,

vw@Isaiah:37:10 @ Thus you shall say to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Do not let your God, in whom you trust, deceive you, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.

vw@Isaiah:37:11 @ Behold, you have heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by utterly destroying them. And shall you be delivered?

vw@Isaiah:37:12 @ Have the gods of the nations delivered those whom my fathers have destroyed: Gozan and Haran and Rezeph, and the sons of Eden who were in Telassar?

vw@Isaiah:37:13 @ Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?

vw@Isaiah:37:14 @ And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messenger, and read it. And Hezekiah went up into the house of Jehovah and spread it before Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:37:15 @ And Hezekiah prayed to Jehovah, saying,

vw@Isaiah:37:16 @ O Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Who dwells between the cherubim, You are God, You alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth. You have made the heavens and the earth.

vw@Isaiah:37:17 @ Extend Your ear, O Jehovah, and hear; open Your eyes, O Jehovah, and see; and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which he has sent to taunt the Living God.

vw@Isaiah:37:18 @ Truly, O Jehovah, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations and their lands,

vw@Isaiah:37:19 @ and have cast their gods into the fire, for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone; therefore they have destroyed them.

vw@Isaiah:37:20 @ Now therefore, O Jehovah our God, save us from his hand, so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are Jehovah, You alone.

vw@Isaiah:37:21 @ Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent to Hezekiah, saying, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, Because you have prayed to Me against Sennacherib king of Assyria,

vw@Isaiah:37:22 @ this is the word which Jehovah has spoken concerning him: The virgin, the daughter of Zion, has despised you and laughed you to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem has shaken her head behind you.

vw@Isaiah:37:23 @ Whom have you mocked and blasphemed? And against whom have you raised your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Even against the Holy One of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:37:24 @ By your servants you have taunted Jehovah and have said, By my many chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains beside Lebanon; and I will cut down its tall cedars, and its choice fir trees; and I will go to the extremities of its height, the forest of its Carmel.

vw@Isaiah:37:25 @ I have dug and drunk water, and with the sole of my feet I have dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.

vw@Isaiah:37:26 @ Have you not heard from distant lands how I have done it? Even from ancient times I have formed it. Now I have brought it to pass, that your fortified cities should be caused to crash into heaps of ruins.

vw@Isaiah:37:27 @ And their inhabitants had little power; being dismayed and ashamed. They were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and the standing grain before the field.

vw@Isaiah:37:28 @ But I know where you dwell, and your going out, and your coming in, and your rage against Me.

vw@Isaiah:37:29 @ Because your raging against Me, and your arrogance has come up into My ears, therefore I will put My hook in your nose, and My bridle in your lips, and I will turn you back by the way from which you came.

vw@Isaiah:37:30 @ And this shall be a sign to you: You shall eat grain this year from what was sown by itself; and the second year that which springs from the same; and in the third year you shall sow, and reap, and plant vineyards and eat the fruit of them.

vw@Isaiah:37:31 @ And the remnant that escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward and bear fruit upward;

vw@Isaiah:37:32 @ for out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, and those who escape out of Mount Zion. The zeal of Jehovah of Hosts shall do this.

vw@Isaiah:37:33 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah to the king of Assyria: He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shield, nor cast a mound against it.

vw@Isaiah:37:34 @ By the way that he came, by the same he shall return, and shall not come into this city, says Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:37:35 @ For I will defend this city to save it, for My own sake and for My servant David’s sake.

vw@Isaiah:37:36 @ Then the angel of Jehovah went out and struck a hundred and eighty-five thousand in the camp of Assyria. And when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

vw@Isaiah:37:37 @ So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and remained in Nineveh.

vw@Isaiah:37:38 @ And it came to pass as he was bowing down in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons struck him with the sword. And they escaped into the land of Ararat; and Esar-Haddon his son reigned in his place.

vw@Isaiah:38:1 @ In those days Hezekiah was sick and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him and said to him, Thus says Jehovah, Set your house in order, for you shall die and not live.

vw@Isaiah:38:2 @ Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed to Jehovah,

vw@Isaiah:38:3 @ and said, Remember now, O Jehovah, I beseech You, how I have walked before You in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done what is good in Your eyes. And Hezekiah wept with a great weeping.

vw@Isaiah:38:4 @ Then came the Word of Jehovah to Isaiah, saying,

vw@Isaiah:38:5 @ Go and say to Hezekiah: Thus says Jehovah the God of David your father, I have heard your prayer, I have seen your tears; behold, I will add to your days fifteen years.

vw@Isaiah:38:6 @ And I will deliver you and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria, and I will defend this city.

vw@Isaiah:38:7 @ And this shall be a sign to you from Jehovah that Jehovah will do this thing that He has spoken:

vw@Isaiah:38:8 @ behold, I will bring back the shadow which has gone down the steps on the sundial of Ahaz, ten steps backward. So the sun returned ten steps, by which it had gone down.

vw@Isaiah:38:9 @ This is the writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick and had recovered from his sickness:

vw@Isaiah:38:10 @ I said at the end of of my days, I shall go to the gates of Sheol; I am deprived of the rest of my years.

vw@Isaiah:38:11 @ I said, I shall not see YAH, Jehovah, in the land of the living; I shall look on man no more among the inhabitants of the world.

vw@Isaiah:38:12 @ My generation is plucked up and removed from me like a shepherd’s tent; I have cut off my life like a weaver; He will cut me off from the loom; from day even to night You make an end of me.

vw@Isaiah:38:13 @ I have been still until morning; as a lion, so He breaks all my bones; from day even until night You make an end of me.

vw@Isaiah:38:14 @ Like a twittering swallow, so I chatter; I mourn as a dove; my eyes look weakly to the heights. O Jehovah, I am distressed; be surety for me.

vw@Isaiah:38:15 @ What shall I say? He has spoken to me, and He Himself has acted; I shall go slowly all my years in the bitterness of my soul.

vw@Isaiah:38:16 @ O Jehovah, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit; so You will restore me to health and make me live.

vw@Isaiah:38:17 @ Behold, instead of peace I was bitter with bitterness; but You have delighted in delivering my soul from the pit of corruption. You have cast all my sins behind Your back.

vw@Isaiah:38:18 @ For Sheol cannot thank You, death cannot praise You; those who go down into the pit cannot hope for Your truth.

vw@Isaiah:38:19 @ The living, the living man, he shall praise You, as I do this day; the father shall make Your truth known to the children.

vw@Isaiah:38:20 @ Jehovah is there to save me; therefore we will sing my songs with the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:38:21 @ For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs and rub it on the boil, and he shall live.

vw@Isaiah:38:22 @ Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of Jehovah?

vw@Isaiah:39:1 @ At that time Merodach-Baladan the son of Baladan king of Babylon, sent letters and a present to Hezekiah, for he had heard that he had been sick, and had recovered.

vw@Isaiah:39:2 @ And Hezekiah was glad because of them, and showed them the house of his treasures; the silver, and the gold, and the spices, and the precious ointment, and all his armory, and all that was found in his treasures. There was nothing in his house, nor in all his dominion that Hezekiah did not show them.

vw@Isaiah:39:3 @ Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say? And where did they come from to you? And Hezekiah said, They have come to me from a distant land, from Babylon.

vw@Isaiah:39:4 @ Then he said, What have they seen in your house? And Hezekiah answered, All that is in my house they have seen; there is nothing among my treasures that I have not shown them.

vw@Isaiah:39:5 @ Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, Hear the Word of Jehovah of Hosts:

vw@Isaiah:39:6 @ Behold, the days are coming when all that is in your house, and that which your fathers have laid up in store until this day, shall be carried to Babylon. Nothing shall be left, says Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:39:7 @ And some of your sons which shall come forth from you, which you shall beget, shall be taken away; and they shall be officials in the palace of the king of Babylon.

vw@Isaiah:39:8 @ Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, The Word of Jehovah which you have spoken is good. For he said, At least there shall be peace and truth in my days.

vw@Isaiah:40:1 @ Comfort, O comfort My people, says your God.

vw@Isaiah:40:2 @ Speak to the heart of Jerusalem, and cry out to her, that her warfare is ended, that her iniquity is pardoned; for she has received from the hand of Jehovah double for all her sins.

vw@Isaiah:40:3 @ The voice of one crying out in the wilderness, Prepare the way of Jehovah, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

vw@Isaiah:40:4 @ Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low; and the crooked places shall be made level, and the rough places a plain;

vw@Isaiah:40:5 @ and the glory of Jehovah shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together; for the mouth of Jehovah has spoken.

vw@Isaiah:40:6 @ The voice said, Cry out! And he said, What shall I proclaim? All flesh is grass, and all the goodness of it is as the flower of the field.

vw@Isaiah:40:7 @ The grass withers, the flower fades, because the Spirit of Jehovah blows upon it; surely the people are grass.

vw@Isaiah:40:8 @ The grass withers, the flower fades; but the Word of our God stands forever.

vw@Isaiah:40:9 @ You, who brings good tidings to Zion, go up onto the high mountain. Lift up your voice with strength, you who brings good tidings to Jerusalem, lift it up, be not afraid. Say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God!

vw@Isaiah:40:10 @ Behold, the Lord Jehovah will come with a strong hand, and His arm shall rule for Him; behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.

vw@Isaiah:40:11 @ He shall feed His flock like a shepherd; He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in His bosom, and shall gently lead those who are with young.

vw@Isaiah:40:12 @ Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and measured out the heavens with a span? And who has calculated the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

vw@Isaiah:40:13 @ Who has directed the Spirit of Jehovah, and what man, as a counselor, has taught Him?

vw@Isaiah:40:14 @ With whom did He take counsel, and who instructed Him and taught Him in the path of justice; and taught Him knowledge, and made known the way of understanding to Him?

vw@Isaiah:40:15 @ Behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket, and are counted as the fine dust on the scales; behold, He lifts up the islands as a very little thing.

vw@Isaiah:40:16 @ And Lebanon is not enough to burn, nor the beasts of it enough for a burnt offering.

vw@Isaiah:40:17 @ All the nations before Him are as nothing; and to Him they are accounted as less than nothing, and vanity.

vw@Isaiah:40:18 @ To whom then will you compare the Mighty God? Or what likeness will you compare to Him?

vw@Isaiah:40:19 @ The workman casts a graven image, and the goldsmith spreads it over with gold, and smelts silver chains.

vw@Isaiah:40:20 @ Whoever is too poor for such an offering chooses a tree that will not rot; he looks for a skillful workman to prepare a graven image that will not totter.

vw@Isaiah:40:21 @ Have you not known? Have you not heard? Has it not been told you from the beginning? Have you not understood from the foundations of the earth?

vw@Isaiah:40:22 @ It is He who sits upon the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; Who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in;

vw@Isaiah:40:23 @ Who brings the rulers to nothing; He makes the judges of the earth as nothing.

vw@Isaiah:40:24 @ Indeed, they shall not be planted; indeed, they shall not be sown. Indeed, their stump shall not take root in the earth. And He shall also blow upon them, and they shall wither, and the tempest shall take them away like stubble.

vw@Isaiah:40:25 @ To whom then will you compare Me, or with whom am I equal? says the Holy One.

vw@Isaiah:40:26 @ Lift up your eyes on high, and consider who has created these things, who brings out their host by number. He calls them all by name by the greatness of His might, for He is strong in power; not one is missing.

vw@Isaiah:40:27 @ Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, My way is hidden from Jehovah and my judgment is passed over by God?

vw@Isaiah:40:28 @ Have you not known? Have you not heard, that the eternal God, Jehovah, the Creator of the ends of the earth, does not grow faint nor weary? His understanding is unsearchable.

vw@Isaiah:40:29 @ He gives power to the faint; and to him with no strength, He increases might.

vw@Isaiah:40:30 @ Even the young shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall be feeble and stumble;

vw@Isaiah:40:31 @ but those who wait upon Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.

vw@Isaiah:41:1 @ Keep silence before Me, O coastlands; and let the people renew their strength; let them come near. Then let them speak, Let us come near together for judgment.

vw@Isaiah:41:2 @ Who raised up the righteous one from the east, called him to His foot, gave the nations before him, and made him rule over kings? Who gave them as the dust to his sword, and as driven stubble to his bow?

vw@Isaiah:41:3 @ Who pursued them and passed by in peace by the way he had not gone before by foot?

vw@Isaiah:41:4 @ Who has planned and done it, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I, Jehovah, am the First and the Last. I am He.

vw@Isaiah:41:5 @ The coastlands saw and feared. The ends of the earth were afraid, and drew near and came.

vw@Isaiah:41:6 @ They each one helped his neighbor, and said to his brother, Be strong.

vw@Isaiah:41:7 @ So the craftsman encourages the refiner, and he who smooths with the hammer, him who struck the anvil, saying of the soldering, It is good. And he makes it steady with nails so that it will not be shaken.

vw@Isaiah:41:8 @ But you, Israel, are My servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham, My friend;

vw@Isaiah:41:9 @ whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called you and set you apart. And I said to you, You are My servant; I have chosen you, and not cast you away.

vw@Isaiah:41:10 @ Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will make you strong; yes, I will help you; yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of My righteousness.

vw@Isaiah:41:11 @ Behold, all those who were enraged against you shall be ashamed and disgraced; they shall be as nothing. And those who strive with you shall perish.

vw@Isaiah:41:12 @ You shall seek them, and shall not find them; the men striving against you shall be as nothing; at an end.

vw@Isaiah:41:13 @ For I, Jehovah your God, will hold your right hand, saying to you, Fear not; I will help you.

vw@Isaiah:41:14 @ Fear not, you worm of Jacob and men of Israel; I will help you, says Jehovah and your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:41:15 @ Behold, I have made you into a new sharp threshing instrument having teeth; you shall thresh the mountains, and beat them fine, and shall make the hills like chaff.

vw@Isaiah:41:16 @ You shall winnow them, and the wind shall carry them away, and a tempest shall scatter them. And you shall rejoice in Jehovah and shall glory in the Holy One of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:41:17 @ The poor and needy seek water, and there is none; their tongue fails for thirst. I Jehovah will hear them, I the God of Israel will not abandon them.

vw@Isaiah:41:18 @ I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys; I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

vw@Isaiah:41:19 @ I will plant the cedar in the wilderness, the acacia tree, and the myrtle, and the oil tree. I will set the fir tree in the desert, and the pine, and the box tree together;

vw@Isaiah:41:20 @ that they may see and know, and determine and understand together, that the hand of Jehovah has done this, and the Holy One of Israel has created it.

vw@Isaiah:41:21 @ Present your case, says Jehovah; approach to argue your defense, says the King of Jacob.

vw@Isaiah:41:22 @ Let them approach, and confess to us what shall happen; let them disclose the former things, what they are, that we may determine a finding and know the final outcome; or proclaim to us things to come.

vw@Isaiah:41:23 @ Make known the things to come after this, so that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do good, or do evil, so that we may anxiously watch it together.

vw@Isaiah:41:24 @ Behold, you are nothing, and your work is nothing. He who chooses you is an abomination.

vw@Isaiah:41:25 @ I have raised up one from the north and he shall come; from the sunrise he shall call upon My name. And he shall come against rulers as in a mortar, and as the potter tramples clay.

vw@Isaiah:41:26 @ Who has declared from the beginning, that we may know? And formerly, that we may say, He is righteous? Yea, no one declares; yea, no one proclaims; yea, no one hears your words.

vw@Isaiah:41:27 @ First I shall say to Zion, Behold! Behold them! And I will give to Jerusalem one who brings good news.

vw@Isaiah:41:28 @ For I looked, and there was no man; and of those there was no counselor, that I might ask and they could answer a word.

vw@Isaiah:41:29 @ Behold, they are all wicked; their works are nothing; their molten images are like thin air and vanity.

vw@Isaiah:42:1 @ Behold My Servant, whom I uphold; My Elect, in whom My soul delights. I have put My Spirit upon Him; He shall bring forth justice to the nations.

vw@Isaiah:42:2 @ He shall not cry out, nor lift up, nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.

vw@Isaiah:42:3 @ A bruised reed He shall not break, and a smoking wick He shall not quench; He shall bring forth justice unto truth.

vw@Isaiah:42:4 @ He shall not fail nor be discouraged, until He has established justice on the earth; and the islands shall wait for His Law.

vw@Isaiah:42:5 @ Thus says Jehovah the Mighty God, He who created the heavens and stretched them out, spreading out the earth and its offspring; Who gives breath to the people on it and spirit to those who walk on it.

vw@Isaiah:42:6 @ I, Jehovah, have called You in righteousness, and will hold Your hand, and will keep You, and give You as a covenant to the people, as a Light to the nations;

vw@Isaiah:42:7 @ to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, those who sit in darkness out of the prison house.

vw@Isaiah:42:8 @ I am Jehovah; that is My name; and My glory I will not give to another, nor My praise to graven images.

vw@Isaiah:42:9 @ Behold, the former things have come to pass, and new things I declare; before they spring forth, I proclaim them to you.

vw@Isaiah:42:10 @ Sing to Jehovah a new song; His praise from the ends of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that is in it; the coastlands and its inhabitants.

vw@Isaiah:42:11 @ Let the wilderness and its cities lift up their voice, the villages where Kedar dwells. Let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the mountain tops.

vw@Isaiah:42:12 @ Give glory to Jehovah and declare His praise in the coastlands.

vw@Isaiah:42:13 @ Jehovah goes forth as a mighty man, He stirs up zeal like a man of war; He shouts, yea, roars; He shows Himself mighty against His enemies.

vw@Isaiah:42:14 @ I have continually kept silent; I have been still and refrained Myself. Now I will cry like a woman in labor; I will pant and gasp at once.

vw@Isaiah:42:15 @ I will make waste the mountains and hills, and dry up all their vegetation. And I will make the rivers coastlands, and I will dry up the pools.

vw@Isaiah:42:16 @ And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths they have not known; I will make darkness into light before them, and crooked places straight. I will do these things for them, and not forsake them.

vw@Isaiah:42:17 @ They have been turned back, they are greatly ashamed, those who trust in graven images and who say to the molten images, You are our gods.

vw@Isaiah:42:18 @ Hear, you deaf; and look, you blind, that you may see.

vw@Isaiah:42:19 @ Who is blind but My servant? Or deaf, as My messenger whom I sent? Who is blind as he who is perfect, and blind as Jehovah’s servant?

vw@Isaiah:42:20 @ You see many things, but do not observe; opening the ears, but no one hears.

vw@Isaiah:42:21 @ Jehovah is well pleased for His righteousness’ sake; He will magnify the Law and make it honorable.

vw@Isaiah:42:22 @ But this is a people robbed and plundered; all of them are snared in holes, and they are hidden in prison houses. They are as prey, and no one delivers them; spoils, and no one says, Give it back!

vw@Isaiah:42:23 @ Who among you will give ear to this? Who will listen and hear for the time to come?

vw@Isaiah:42:24 @ Who gave Jacob for a spoils, and Israel to robbers? Was it not Jehovah, against whom we have sinned? For they would not walk in His ways, nor did they obey His Law.

vw@Isaiah:42:25 @ Therefore He has poured upon him the fury of His anger, and the strength of battle. And it has set him on fire all around, yet he did not know; and it burned him, yet he did not lay it to heart.

vw@Isaiah:43:1 @ But now thus says Jehovah who created you, O Jacob, and He who formed you, O Israel; Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by your name; you are Mine.

vw@Isaiah:43:2 @ When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned; nor shall the flame consume you.

vw@Isaiah:43:3 @ For I am Jehovah your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior; I gave Egypt for your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for you.

vw@Isaiah:43:4 @ Since you were precious in My eyes, you have been honored, and I have loved you; therefore I will give men for you, and people for your life.

vw@Isaiah:43:5 @ Fear not, for I am with you. I will bring your seed from the east, and gather you from the west.

vw@Isaiah:43:6 @ I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south, Do not keep back; bring My sons from afar and My daughters from the ends of the earth;

vw@Isaiah:43:7 @ everyone who is called by My name; for I have created him for My glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him.

vw@Isaiah:43:8 @ Bring out the blind people who have eyes, and the deaf who have ears.

vw@Isaiah:43:9 @ Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled. Who among them can declare this and cause us to hear former things? Let them bring out their witnesses, that they may be justified; or let them hear, and say, It is true.

vw@Isaiah:43:10 @ You are My witnesses, says Jehovah, and My servant whom I have chosen; that you may know and believe Me, and understand that I am He. Before Me no god was formed, nor shall there be after Me.

vw@Isaiah:43:11 @ I, even I, am Jehovah; and there is no one to save besides Me.

vw@Isaiah:43:12 @ I have declared and have saved, and I have shown, when there was no strange god among you; therefore you are My witnesses, says Jehovah, that I am the Mighty God.

vw@Isaiah:43:13 @ Yea, before the day was, I am He; and no one can deliver out of My hand; I work, and who will reverse it?

vw@Isaiah:43:14 @ Thus says Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: For your sake I have sent to Babylon, and have brought them all down as fugitives, and the Chaldeans, who shout in their ships.

vw@Isaiah:43:15 @ I am Jehovah, your Holy One, the Creator of Israel, your King.

vw@Isaiah:43:16 @ Thus says Jehovah, Who makes a way in the sea and a path through the mighty waters;

vw@Isaiah:43:17 @ Who brings out the chariot and horse, the army and the power: They shall lie down together, they shall not rise; they are extinguished, they are quenched like a wick.

vw@Isaiah:43:18 @ Do not remember the former things, nor consider the things of old.

vw@Isaiah:43:19 @ Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.

vw@Isaiah:43:20 @ The beasts of the field shall honor Me, the dragons and the young owls; because I give waters in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to My people, My elect.

vw@Isaiah:43:21 @ This people that I have formed for Myself; they shall declare My praise.

vw@Isaiah:43:22 @ But you have not called upon Me, O Jacob; but you have been weary of Me, O Israel.

vw@Isaiah:43:23 @ You have not brought Me the lamb of your burnt offerings; nor have you honored Me with your sacrifices. I have not caused you to serve with an offering, nor wearied you with incense.

vw@Isaiah:43:24 @ You have bought Me no sweet cane with money, nor have you filled Me with the fat of your sacrifices; but you have burdened Me with your sins; you have wearied Me with your iniquities.

vw@Isaiah:43:25 @ I, even I, am He who blots out your transgressions for My own sake, and will not remember your sins.

vw@Isaiah:43:26 @ Bring to My remembrance; let us enter into judgment together; declare yourself, that you may be justified.

vw@Isaiah:43:27 @ Your first father has sinned, and has mocked and rebelled against Me.

vw@Isaiah:43:28 @ Therefore I will defile the rulers of the sanctuary, and will give Jacob to the curse, and Israel to reproaches.

vw@Isaiah:44:1 @ Yet hear now, O Jacob My servant, and Israel whom I have chosen;

vw@Isaiah:44:2 @ Thus says Jehovah who made you, and formed you from the womb, who will help you; Fear not, O Jacob My servant, and you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

vw@Isaiah:44:3 @ For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods upon the dry ground. I will pour My spirit upon your seed, and My blessing upon your offspring;

vw@Isaiah:44:4 @ and they shall spring up as among the grass, as willows by the watercourses.

vw@Isaiah:44:5 @ One shall say, I am Jehovah’s; and another shall call himself by the name of Jacob; and another shall write with his hand, For Jehovah, and be named by the name of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:44:6 @ Thus says Jehovah, the King of Israel, and His Redeemer Jehovah of Hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and besides Me there is no God.

vw@Isaiah:44:7 @ And who shall proclaim as I do, and shall declare it and set it in order for Me; since I founded the ancient people? And the things that are coming, and shall come; let them declare it to them.

vw@Isaiah:44:8 @ Fear not, nor be afraid; have I not told you and declared it since then? Thus, you are My witnesses. Is there a God besides Me? Yea, there is no other rock. I have not known any.

vw@Isaiah:44:9 @ Those who make a graven image, all of them are vanity; and the things which they desire shall not help. And they are their own witnesses; they do not see nor know; that they may be ashamed.

vw@Isaiah:44:10 @ Who has formed a god or smelted a graven image that benefits nothing?

vw@Isaiah:44:11 @ Behold, all his companions shall be ashamed; and the craftsmen, they are men. Let them be gathered together; let them stand up; they shall be in dread; they shall be ashamed together.

vw@Isaiah:44:12 @ The craftsman in iron makes it in the coals with the tongs, and fashions it with hammers, and makes it with the strength of his arms. Then, he is hungry, and his strength fails; he drinks no water, and is faint.

vw@Isaiah:44:13 @ The craftsman in wood stretches a measuring line; he makes an outline with a marker; he works it with carving tools, and he marks it out with the compass, and makes it like the figure of a man, according to the beauty of a man, that it may remain in the house.

vw@Isaiah:44:14 @ He cuts down cedars, and takes cypress and oak, which he secures for himself among the trees of the forest. He plants a fir tree, and the rain makes it grow.

vw@Isaiah:44:15 @ Then it shall be for a man to burn; for he will take some of it and warm himself. Yes, he kindles it and bakes bread; he also makes a god and bows down to it; he makes it into a graven image and prostrates himself to it.

vw@Isaiah:44:16 @ He burns part of it in the fire; with part of it he eats flesh; he roasts a roast and is satisfied; indeed, he warms himself, and says, Ah! I am warm, I have seen the fire.

vw@Isaiah:44:17 @ And the rest of it he makes into a god, his graven image. He prostrates himself before it and bows down, and prays to it, and says, Deliver me! for you are my mighty god.

vw@Isaiah:44:18 @ They have not known nor understood; for He has shut their eyes so that they cannot see; and their hearts so that they cannot understand.

vw@Isaiah:44:19 @ And no one considers within his heart, nor is there perception nor understanding to say, I have burned part of it in the fire; indeed, also I have baked bread on its coals; I have roasted flesh and eaten; and shall I make the rest of it into an abomination? Shall I prostrate myself to a piece of wood?

vw@Isaiah:44:20 @ He feeds on ashes; a deceived heart has turned him aside, so that he cannot deliver his soul, nor say, Is this not a lie in my right hand?

vw@Isaiah:44:21 @ Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for you are My servant; I have formed you; you are My servant; O Israel, you shall not be forgotten by Me.

vw@Isaiah:44:22 @ I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, your transgressions, and as a cloud, your sins; return to Me, for I have redeemed you.

vw@Isaiah:44:23 @ Sing, O heavens; for Jehovah has done it! Shout, you lower parts of the earth! Break forth into singing, you mountains, O forest, and every tree in it! For Jehovah has redeemed Jacob, and glorified Himself in Israel!

vw@Isaiah:44:24 @ Thus says Jehovah, your Redeemer, and He who formed you from the womb: I am Jehovah, who makes all things, who stretches out the heavens alone, who spreads out the earth by Myself;

vw@Isaiah:44:25 @ who brings to nothing the signs of the liars, and makes diviners mad; who turns the wise backward, and makes their knowledge foolish;

vw@Isaiah:44:26 @ who establishes the word of His servant, and performs the counsel of His messengers; who says to Jerusalem, You shall be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, You shall be built, and I will raise up its waste places;

vw@Isaiah:44:27 @ who says to the deep, Be dry, and I will dry up your rivers;

vw@Isaiah:44:28 @ who says of Cyrus, He is My shepherd, and shall do all My pleasure; even saying to Jerusalem, You shall be built; and to the temple, Your foundation shall be laid.

vw@Isaiah:45:1 @ Thus says Jehovah to His anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have strengthened in order to subdue nations before him. And I will loosen the loins of kings, to open before him the gates; and the gates shall not be shut.

vw@Isaiah:45:2 @ I will go before you, and make the high places level and straight. I will break in pieces the gates of bronze, and cut the iron bars in two.

vw@Isaiah:45:3 @ And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, Jehovah, who calls you by your name, am the God of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:45:4 @ For Jacob My servant’s sake, and Israel My elect, I have even proclaimed your name; I have entitled you, though you have not known Me.

vw@Isaiah:45:5 @ I am Jehovah, and there is none other, no God besides Me; I embraced you, though you have not known Me;

vw@Isaiah:45:6 @ that they may know from the rising of the sun, to its setting, that there is none besides Me. I am Jehovah, and there is no other;

vw@Isaiah:45:7 @ forming the light and creating darkness; making peace and creating evil. I, Jehovah, do all these things.

vw@Isaiah:45:8 @ Rain down from above, O heavens, and let the clouds pour down righteousness. Let the earth open, and let salvation bear fruit; and let righteousness spring up together. I, Jehovah, have created it.

vw@Isaiah:45:9 @ Woe to him who strives with the One who formed him, a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to the one who forms it, What are you making? Or your work, He has no hands?

vw@Isaiah:45:10 @ Woe to him who says to his father, What are you begetting? Or to the woman, What are you writhing over?

vw@Isaiah:45:11 @ Thus says Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, and the One who formed him, Do you ask Me of things to come? Do you give command to Me about My sons, and about the work of My hands?

vw@Isaiah:45:12 @ I have made the earth, and created man on it; I, with My hands, have stretched out the heavens; and all their host have I ordained.

vw@Isaiah:45:13 @ I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways; he shall build My city, and he shall set free My captives, not for price nor reward, says Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Isaiah:45:14 @ Thus says Jehovah, The labor of Egypt, and merchandise of Cush, and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come to you, and they shall be yours. They shall follow behind you; and they shall pass over in chains and they shall bow down to you. They shall plead with you, saying, Surely the Mighty God is in you; there is no one else, no other God.

vw@Isaiah:45:15 @ Truly You are a Mighty God who hides Yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior.

vw@Isaiah:45:16 @ They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them; they who are makers of idols shall go into disgrace together.

vw@Isaiah:45:17 @ But Israel shall be saved in Jehovah with an everlasting salvation. You shall not be ashamed nor humiliated to everlasting eternity.

vw@Isaiah:45:18 @ For thus says Jehovah who Created the heavens, God who has formed the earth and made it; who has established it, who has not created it void, but has formed it to be inhabited: I am Jehovah, and there is no other.

vw@Isaiah:45:19 @ I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth. I did not say to the seed of Jacob, Seek me in vain. I, Jehovah, speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.

vw@Isaiah:45:20 @ Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you who have escaped from the nations. Those who set up the wood of their graven image, and those that pray to a god that cannot save, they know nothing.

vw@Isaiah:45:21 @ Declare and approach; yea, let them take counsel together. Who has declared this from antiquity? Who has told it since then? Is it not I, Jehovah. And there is no other God besides Me; a just Mighty God and a Savior; there is no one besides Me.

vw@Isaiah:45:22 @ Turn to Me, and be saved, all the ends of the earth; for I am the Mighty God, and there is no other.

vw@Isaiah:45:23 @ I have sworn by Myself, the word has gone out of My mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, that to Me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.

vw@Isaiah:45:25 @ In Jehovah shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.

vw@Isaiah:46:1 @ Bel bows down, Nebo stoops; their idols were on the beasts and on the cattle; the things you carried have become a load, a burden to the weary.

vw@Isaiah:46:2 @ They stoop, they bow down together; they could not deliver the burden, but they themselves have gone into captivity.

vw@Isaiah:46:3 @ Listen to me, O house of Jacob, and all the remnant of the house of Israel, who were carried by Me from the belly, who were sustained from the womb;

vw@Isaiah:46:4 @ even to your old age, I am He; and to the gray hairs I will bear you. I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you.

vw@Isaiah:46:5 @ To whom will you compare Me, and make Me equal; and compare Me, that we may be alike?

vw@Isaiah:46:6 @ They pour gold out of the bag, and weigh silver out on the measuring rod, and hire a goldsmith; and he makes it into a god; they prostrate themselves, yea, they bow down.

vw@Isaiah:46:7 @ They carry it on the shoulder, they carry it and set it in its place, and it stands; it shall not move from its place. Yes, one shall cry unto it, yet it cannot answer, nor save him out of his trouble.

vw@Isaiah:46:8 @ Remember this, and be a man; refresh the memory of your heart, you who rebel.

vw@Isaiah:46:9 @ Remember the former things from a long time ago; for I am the Mighty God, and there is no other; I am God, and no one else is like Me,

vw@Isaiah:46:10 @ declaring the end from the beginning, and from antiquity things which are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all My pleasure;

vw@Isaiah:46:11 @ calling a bird of prey from the east, the man who executes my counsel from a distant land. Indeed, I have spoken it; I will also bring it to pass. I have formed it; I will also do it.

vw@Isaiah:46:12 @ Listen to me, you stubborn-hearted, who are far from righteousness;

vw@Isaiah:46:13 @ I bring near My righteousness. It shall not be far off, and My salvation shall not delay. And I will place salvation in Zion, My glory for Israel.

vw@Isaiah:47:1 @ Come down and sit in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; sit on the ground. There is no throne for you, O daughter of the Chaldeans. For you shall no more be called tender and delicate.

vw@Isaiah:47:2 @ Take the millstones and grind meal. Uncover your veil, strip off the skirt, bare the thigh, pass through the rivers.

vw@Isaiah:47:3 @ Your nakedness shall be uncovered, yea, your shame shall be seen; I will take vengeance and I will not meet you as a man.

vw@Isaiah:47:4 @ Our Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts is His name, the Holy One of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:47:5 @ Sit in silence, and go into darkness, O daughter of the Chaldeans; for you shall no more be called the Queen of Kingdoms.

vw@Isaiah:47:6 @ I was angry with My people, I have polluted My inheritance, and given them into your hand. You have shown them no mercy; upon the aged you have laid your yoke very heavily.

vw@Isaiah:47:7 @ And you said, I shall be a queen forever; so you did not lay these things to heart, nor remember the latter end of it.

vw@Isaiah:47:8 @ Now therefore hear this, O voluptuous one, who lives securely; who says in her heart, I am, and there is no one else besides me; I shall not sit as a widow, nor shall I know the loss of children.

vw@Isaiah:47:9 @ But these two things shall come to you in a moment in one day: The loss of children, and widowhood. They shall come upon you in their fullness for the multitude of your sorceries, and for the great power of your enchantments.

vw@Isaiah:47:10 @ For you have trusted in your wickedness; you have said, No one sees me. Your wisdom and your knowledge have perverted you; and you have said in your heart, I am, and there is no one else besides me.

vw@Isaiah:47:11 @ Therefore evil shall come upon you, and you shall not know its origin. And disaster shall fall upon you, and you shall not be able to cover it over. And desolation shall come upon you suddenly, which you shall not be informed of.

vw@Isaiah:47:12 @ Stand now with your charms, and with the multitude of your sorceries, in which you have labored since your youth. Perhaps you will be able to profit; perhaps you may prevail.

vw@Isaiah:47:13 @ You are wearied by your many counsels. Let now the astrologers, the stargazers and the fortunetellers step forth and save you from what shall come upon you.

vw@Isaiah:47:14 @ Behold, they shall be as stubble; the fire shall burn them. They shall not deliver themselves from the power of the flame; it shall not be a coal to be warmed with; nor a fire in front of which to sit.

vw@Isaiah:47:15 @ Thus shall they be to you with whom you have labored, your merchants from your youth. They shall wander, each one, to his own region; no one shall save you.

vw@Isaiah:48:1 @ Hear this, O house of Jacob, who are called by the name of Israel, and have come forth out of the waters of Judah; who swear by the name of Jehovah and make mention of the God of Israel (but not in truth nor in righteousness;

vw@Isaiah:48:2 @ for they name themselves as being of the holy city, and rest themselves on the God of Israel; Jehovah of Hosts is His name):

vw@Isaiah:48:3 @ I have declared the former things from the beginning, and they proceeded forth out of My mouth, and I proclaimed to them. I acted suddenly, and they came to pass,

vw@Isaiah:48:4 @ because I knew that you are obstinate, and your neck is an iron sinew and your brow bronze.

vw@Isaiah:48:5 @ I even declared it to you from the beginning. Before it happened I proclaimed it to you, lest you should say, My idol has done them, and my graven image and my molten image has commanded them.

vw@Isaiah:48:6 @ You have heard; see all this. And will you not declare it? I have shown you new things from this time, even hidden things, and you did not know them.

vw@Isaiah:48:7 @ They are created now, and not since the beginning; even before the day when you did not hear them; lest you should say, Behold, I knew them.

vw@Isaiah:48:8 @ Surely you did not hear, surely you did not know; surely from long ago your ear was not opened. For I knew that you would deceive with treachery, and were called a transgressor from the womb.

vw@Isaiah:48:9 @ For My name’s sake I will prolong My anger, and for My praise I will restrain for you, so that I do not cut you off.

vw@Isaiah:48:10 @ Behold, I have refined you, but not with silver; I have chosen you in the furnace of affliction.

vw@Isaiah:48:11 @ For my own sake, for My own sake I will do it; for why should My name be defiled? And I will not give My glory to another.

vw@Isaiah:48:12 @ Listen to me O Jacob, and Israel My called; I am He; I am the first, I also am the last.

vw@Isaiah:48:13 @ My hand also has laid the foundation of the earth, and My right hand has stretched out the heavens. When I called to them, they stood up together.

vw@Isaiah:48:14 @ Let all of you gather and hear. Who among them has declared these things? Jehovah has loved him; He will do as He pleases upon Babylon, and His arm shall be upon the Chaldeans.

vw@Isaiah:48:15 @ I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him; I have brought him and made his way prosperous.

vw@Isaiah:48:16 @ Come near to Me, hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning. From the time it existed, I was there; and now the Lord Jehovah, and His Spirit, has sent Me.

vw@Isaiah:48:17 @ Thus says Jehovah, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am Jehovah your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go.

vw@Isaiah:48:18 @ Oh that you had paid attention to My commandments! Then your peace would have been like a river, and your righteousness like the waves of the sea.

vw@Isaiah:48:19 @ Your seed also would have been like the sand, and the offspring of your womb like grains of sand; his name would not have been cut off nor destroyed from before My face.

vw@Isaiah:48:20 @ Go out from Babylon! Flee from the Chaldeans! Declare it with a resounding voice! Proclaim this; let it go forth to the ends of the earth! Say, Jehovah has redeemed His servant, Jacob!

vw@Isaiah:48:21 @ And they did not thirst when He led them through the deserts; He caused the waters to flow out of the rock for them; He split open the rock also, and the waters gushed out.

vw@Isaiah:48:22 @ There is no peace, says Jehovah, unto the wicked.

vw@Isaiah:49:1 @ Listen to Me, O coastlands; and give attention, you people from afar; Jehovah has called Me from the womb; from My mother’s belly He has made mention of My name.

vw@Isaiah:49:2 @ And He has made My mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of His hand He has hidden Me, and made Me a polished shaft. He has hidden Me in His quiver,

vw@Isaiah:49:3 @ and said to Me, You are My servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

vw@Isaiah:49:4 @ Then I said, I have labored in vain; I have spent My strength for nothing, and in vain; yet surely My just due is with Jehovah, and My work with My God.

vw@Isaiah:49:5 @ And now, says Jehovah who formed Me from the womb to be His servant, to bring Jacob back to Him: Though Israel is not gathered, yet I shall be glorious in the eyes of Jehovah, and My God shall be My strength.

vw@Isaiah:49:6 @ And He said, It is but a little thing that You should be My servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to bring back the preserved ones of Israel; I will also give You for a light to the nations, to be My salvation to the ends of the earth.

vw@Isaiah:49:7 @ Thus says Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, His Holy One, to Him whom man despises, to Him whom the nation loathes, the Servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise, rulers also shall bow down, because of Jehovah who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, and He shall choose You.

vw@Isaiah:49:8 @ Thus says Jehovah: In a favorable time I have answered You, and in a day of salvation I have helped You; and I will preserve You, and give You as a covenant to the people, to establish the earth, to cause them to inherit the desolate possessions;

vw@Isaiah:49:9 @ that You may say to the prisoners, Go out! To those who are in darkness, Show yourselves! They shall feed in the ways, and their pastures shall be on all the barren heights.

vw@Isaiah:49:10 @ They shall not hunger nor thirst; nor shall the heat nor sun strike them; for He who has mercy on them will lead them; even by the springs of water He will guide them.

vw@Isaiah:49:11 @ And I will make all My mountains a way, and My highways shall be elevated.

vw@Isaiah:49:12 @ Behold, these shall come from afar; and, lo, those from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim.

vw@Isaiah:49:13 @ Sing, O heavens! Be joyful, O earth! And break out into singing, O mountains! For the Lord has comforted His people, and will have mercy on His afflicted.

vw@Isaiah:49:14 @ But Zion said, Jehovah has forsaken me, and my Lord has forgotten me.

vw@Isaiah:49:15 @ Can a woman forget her nursing infant, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? Indeed, they may forget; yet I will not forget you.

vw@Isaiah:49:16 @ Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of My hands; your walls are perpetually before Me.

vw@Isaiah:49:17 @ Your children shall make haste; those destroying you and laying waste to you shall go out from you.

vw@Isaiah:49:18 @ Lift up your eyes all around and see; they all gather and come to you. As I live, says Jehovah, you shall surely wear them as an ornament, and bind them on you as a bride does.

vw@Isaiah:49:19 @ For your waste and desolate places, and the land of your destruction, shall even now be too constricted to dwell there, and those who swallowed you up shall be far away.

vw@Isaiah:49:20 @ The sons of your bereavement shall yet say in your ears, The place is too narrow for me; let a place come to me so that I may have room to dwell.

vw@Isaiah:49:21 @ Then you shall say in your heart, Who has begotten these for me, since I am bereaved, and desolate, removed into exile. And who has raised up these? Behold, I was left alone. But these, where were they?

vw@Isaiah:49:22 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will lift up My hand to the nations, and set up My banner to the people; and they shall bring your sons in their bosom, and your daughters shall be carried on their shoulders.

vw@Isaiah:49:23 @ And kings shall be your foster fathers, and their queens your wet nurses. They shall bow down to you, with faces to the earth, and lick up the dust of your feet. And you shall know that I am Jehovah; for they who wait for Me shall not be ashamed.

vw@Isaiah:49:24 @ Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?

vw@Isaiah:49:25 @ But thus says Jehovah, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the ruthless shall escape. For I will contend with him who contends with you, and I will save your children.

vw@Isaiah:49:26 @ And I will feed those who oppress you, with their own flesh; and they shall be drunk with their own blood, as with sweet wine; and all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

vw@Isaiah:50:1 @ Thus says Jehovah, Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce, whom I have put away? Or to which of My creditors have I sold you? Behold, you have been sold for your iniquities, and your mother has been put away for your sins.

vw@Isaiah:50:2 @ Why, when I came, was no one here? I called and no one answered. Is My hand shortened at all so that it cannot redeem? Or have I no power to deliver? Behold, at My rebuke I dry up the sea, I make the rivers a wilderness; their fish stink, because there is no water, and die of thirst.

vw@Isaiah:50:3 @ I clothe the heavens with blackness, and I make sackcloth their covering.

vw@Isaiah:50:4 @ The Lord Jehovah has given Me the tongue of the learned, to know how to speak a word in season to the weary. He wakens morning by morning, He wakens the ear to hear as the learned.

vw@Isaiah:50:5 @ The Lord Jehovah has opened My ear, and I was not rebellious, nor turned away backwards.

vw@Isaiah:50:6 @ I gave My back to those who strike, and My cheeks to those who pluck; I hid not My face from shame and spitting.

vw@Isaiah:50:7 @ For the Lord Jehovah will help Me; therefore I have not been ashamed. Therefore I have set My face like flint, and I know that I shall not be ashamed.

vw@Isaiah:50:8 @ He is near who justifies Me; who will contend with Me? Let us stand together; who is the master of My judgment? Let him come near Me.

vw@Isaiah:50:9 @ Behold, the Lord Jehovah will help Me; who is he who shall condemn Me? Lo, they all shall wear out like a garment; the moth shall eat them.

vw@Isaiah:50:10 @ Who among you fears Jehovah? Who obeys the voice of His Servant? Who walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of Jehovah and rest on his God.

vw@Isaiah:50:11 @ Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who are surrounded with sparks; walk in the light of your fire, and in the sparks which you have kindled. This you shall have from My hand; you shall lie down in sorrow.

vw@Isaiah:51:1 @ Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, who seek Jehovah: Look to the rock from which you have been hewn, and to the hole of the pit from which you have been dug.

vw@Isaiah:51:2 @ Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him.

vw@Isaiah:51:3 @ For Jehovah will comfort Zion; He will comfort all her waste places; and He will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah. Joy and gladness shall be found in it, thanksgiving and the voice of melody.

vw@Isaiah:51:4 @ Listen to Me, My people; and give ear to Me, O My nation; for a law shall go out from Me, and I will make My justice to rest for a light of the people.

vw@Isaiah:51:5 @ My righteousness is near; My salvation has gone forth, and My arms shall judge the people; the coastlands shall wait upon Me, and on My arm they shall trust.

vw@Isaiah:51:6 @ Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall become old like a garment; and its inhabitants shall die in the same way. But My salvation shall be forever, and My righteousness shall not be broken.

vw@Isaiah:51:7 @ Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is My Law; do not fear the reproach of men, nor be afraid of their revilings.

vw@Isaiah:51:8 @ For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but My righteousness shall be forever, and My salvation from generation to generation.

vw@Isaiah:51:9 @ Awake! awake! Put on strength, O arm of Jehovah. Awake, as in the days of antiquity, in the generations of old. Was it not You who cut Rahab into pieces, wounding the dragon?

vw@Isaiah:51:10 @ Was it not You who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?

vw@Isaiah:51:11 @ Therefore the redeemed of Jehovah shall return and come with singing into Zion; and everlasting joy shall be on their head. Gladness and joy shall overtake them; sorrow and mourning shall flee away.

vw@Isaiah:51:12 @ I, even I, am He who comforts you. Who are you, that you should fear a man, who shall die; or the son of man, who shall be made as grass?

vw@Isaiah:51:13 @ And you forget Jehovah your Maker, who has stretched out the heavens and laid the foundations of the earth. And you dread continually, every day, because of the fury of the oppressor, as if he were ready to destroy. And where is the fury of the oppressor?

vw@Isaiah:51:14 @ Stooped over he hurries to be loosed, so that he should not die in the pit, nor lack his bread.

vw@Isaiah:51:15 @ But I am Jehovah your God, who divided the sea, whose waves roared; Jehovah of Hosts is His name.

vw@Isaiah:51:16 @ And I have put My Words in your mouth, and I have covered you in the shadow of My hand, that I may plant the heavens and lay the foundations of the earth, and say to Zion, You are My people.

vw@Isaiah:51:17 @ Awake! Awake! Rise up, O Jerusalem, who has drunk the cup of His fury from the hand of Jehovah; you have drunk the dregs of the cup of staggering, and wrung them out.

vw@Isaiah:51:18 @ There is no one to guide her among all the sons she has borne; and no one takes her by the hand of all the sons that she has raised.

vw@Isaiah:51:19 @ These two things have come upon you, who shall be sorry for you? Desolation, and destruction, and famine, and the sword. By whom shall I comfort you?

vw@Isaiah:51:20 @ Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets like a wild animal in a net, filled with the fury of Jehovah, the rebuke of your God.

vw@Isaiah:51:21 @ Therefore now hear this, you afflicted one, and drunk, but not with wine.

vw@Isaiah:51:22 @ Thus says your Lord, Jehovah, and your God who pleads the case of His people: Behold, I have taken the cup of staggering out of your hand, even the dregs of the cup of My fury; you shall never drink it again.

vw@Isaiah:51:23 @ But I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, Bow down so that we may pass over; and lay your back on the ground, even as the street, for those who cross over.

vw@Isaiah:52:1 @ Awake! Awake! Put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful robes, O Jerusalem, the Holy City. For never again shall the uncircumcised and unclean come into you.

vw@Isaiah:52:2 @ Shake yourself from the dust; rise up! Sit down, Jerusalem! Loose yourself from your neckbands, O captive daughter of Zion.

vw@Isaiah:52:3 @ For thus says Jehovah, You have sold yourselves for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without silver.

vw@Isaiah:52:4 @ For thus says the Lord Jehovah, My people went down before into Egypt to stay there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.

vw@Isaiah:52:5 @ Now therefore, what have I here, says Jehovah, that My people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule make them howl, says Jehovah; and My name is continually blasphemed every day.

vw@Isaiah:52:6 @ Therefore My people shall know My name. Thus it shall be in that day, for I am He who speaks; behold, it is I.

vw@Isaiah:52:7 @ How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him bringing good tidings, proclaiming peace; bringing good news, proclaiming salvation; who says to Zion, Your God reigns!

vw@Isaiah:52:8 @ Your watchmen shall lift up the voice! They shall lift up the voice together in a resounding cry; for they shall see eye to eye, when Jehovah brings Zion back.

vw@Isaiah:52:9 @ Break forth together into a resounding cry of joy, you waste places of Jerusalem! For Jehovah has comforted His people; He has redeemed Jerusalem.

vw@Isaiah:52:10 @ Jehovah has bared His holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

vw@Isaiah:52:11 @ Depart! Depart! Go out from there! Touch not the unclean. Go out of her midst; purify yourselves, you who bear the vessels of Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:52:12 @ For you shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight; for Jehovah will go before you; and the God of Israel gathers you.

vw@Isaiah:52:13 @ Behold, My Servant shall deal with insight; He shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

vw@Isaiah:52:14 @ Just as many were astonished at You (His appearance was disfigured more than any man, and His form more than the sons of mankind);

vw@Isaiah:52:15 @ so shall He sprinkle many nations. Kings shall shut their mouths at Him; for that which had not been told to them, they shall see; and what they had not heard, they shall consider.

vw@Isaiah:53:1 @ Who has believed Our report? And to whom has the arm of Jehovah been revealed?

vw@Isaiah:53:2 @ For He grows up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of the dry ground. He has no form nor splendor that we should regard Him, nor anything spectacular that we should desire Him.

vw@Isaiah:53:3 @ He is despised and rejected by men; a Man of pain, and knowing infirmity; a hiding of faces; being despised, we have esteemed Him not.

vw@Isaiah:53:4 @ Truly He has borne our sicknesses, and carried our pain; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted.

vw@Isaiah:53:5 @ But He was wounded for our transgressions; He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.

vw@Isaiah:53:6 @ All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned, each one to his own way; and Jehovah has laid upon Him the iniquity of us all.

vw@Isaiah:53:7 @ He has been oppressed, and He was afflicted; yet He opens not His mouth. He is brought as a lamb to the slaughter; and as a sheep before its shearers is mute, so He opens not His mouth.

vw@Isaiah:53:8 @ He was taken from prison and from judgment; and who shall declare His generation? For He was cut off out of the land of the living; for the transgression of My people He was stricken.

vw@Isaiah:53:9 @ And His grave was assigned with the wicked, and with the rich in His death; although He had done no violence, nor was any deceit in His mouth.

vw@Isaiah:53:10 @ Yet it pleased Jehovah to crush Him; to grieve Him; that He should give His soul as a sin-offering. He shall see His seed, He shall prolong His days, and the delight of Jehovah shall prosper in His hand.

vw@Isaiah:53:11 @ He shall see the travail of His soul, and shall be fulfilled. By His knowledge shall My righteous Servant justify many; for He shall bear their iniquities.

vw@Isaiah:53:12 @ Therefore I will apportion to Him with the great, and He shall divide the spoils with the strong; because He has poured out His soul unto death; and He was reckoned among the transgressors; and He bore the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

vw@Isaiah:54:1 @ Rejoice, O barren one, you who have not borne; break forth into screams of delight, you who have not writhed in pangs. For more are the children of the desolate than the children of the one who is married, says Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:54:2 @ Enlarge the place of your tent, and let them stretch out the curtains of your dwellings. Do not spare, lengthen your cords and strengthen your stakes;

vw@Isaiah:54:3 @ for you shall burst forth on the right hand and on the left. And your seed shall inherit the nations, and make the desolate cities inhabited.

vw@Isaiah:54:4 @ Do not fear, for you shall not be ashamed; nor be humiliated, for you shall not be put to shame. For you shall forget the shame of your youth, and shall not remember the reproach of your widowhood any more.

vw@Isaiah:54:5 @ For your Maker is your husband; Jehovah of Hosts is His name; and your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel. He shall be called, GOD OF THE WHOLE EARTH.

vw@Isaiah:54:6 @ For Jehovah has called you as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, like a wife of youth, when you were rejected, says your God.

vw@Isaiah:54:7 @ For a brief moment I have left you; but with great mercies I will gather you.

vw@Isaiah:54:8 @ In overflowing wrath I hid My face from you for a moment; but with everlasting kindness I will have mercy upon you, says Jehovah your Redeemer.

vw@Isaiah:54:9 @ For this is like the waters of Noah to Me; for as I have sworn that the waters of Noah should never again overflow the earth, so I have sworn to not be angry with you, nor rebuke you.

vw@Isaiah:54:10 @ For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but My kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace be removed, says Jehovah, who has mercy on you.

vw@Isaiah:54:11 @ O you afflicted one, storm-tossed and not comforted, behold, I will lay your stones with colorful gems, and lay your foundations with sapphires.

vw@Isaiah:54:12 @ And I will make your pinnacles of ruby, and your gates of sparkling stones, and all your borders of delightful stones.

vw@Isaiah:54:13 @ And all your children shall be taught of Jehovah, and great shall be the peace of your children.

vw@Isaiah:54:14 @ In righteousness you shall be established; you shall be far from oppression; for you shall not fear; and from terror, for it shall not come near you.

vw@Isaiah:54:15 @ Indeed, they shall surely gather together, but not by Me; whoever shall gather against you, by you he shall fall.

vw@Isaiah:54:16 @ Behold, I have created the smith who blows the coals in the fire, and who brings out a tool for his work; and I have created the one who ruins to destroy.

vw@Isaiah:54:17 @ No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against you in judgment, you shall condemn. This is the inheritance of the servants of Jehovah, and their righteousness is from Me, says Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:55:1 @ Ho, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat. Yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

vw@Isaiah:55:2 @ Why do you weigh out money for what is not bread, and your labor for what does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.

vw@Isaiah:55:3 @ Extend your ear, and come to Me; hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.

vw@Isaiah:55:4 @ Behold, I have given him as a witness to the people, a leader and commander of people.

vw@Isaiah:55:5 @ Behold, you shall call a nation that you do not know, and nations that did not know you shall run to you because of Jehovah your God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for He has glorified you.

vw@Isaiah:55:6 @ Seek Jehovah while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near.

vw@Isaiah:55:7 @ Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; and let him return to Jehovah, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.

vw@Isaiah:55:8 @ For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways My ways, says Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:55:9 @ For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your ways, and My thoughts than your thoughts.

vw@Isaiah:55:10 @ For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and does not return there, but waters the earth, and makes it bring forth and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater;

vw@Isaiah:55:11 @ so shall My Word be, which goes forth from My mouth; it shall not return to Me void, but it shall accomplish what I please, and it shall succeed in that for which I have sent it.

vw@Isaiah:55:12 @ For you shall go out with joy, and be led out with peace; the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into praise, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.

vw@Isaiah:55:13 @ Instead of the thorn, the fir tree shall come up; and instead of the brier, the myrtle tree shall come up; and it shall be to Jehovah for a name, for a perpetual sign that shall not be cut off.

vw@Isaiah:56:1 @ Thus says Jehovah, Keep justice and do righteousness; for My salvation is near to come, and My righteousness to be revealed.

vw@Isaiah:56:2 @ Blessed is the man who does this, and the son of man who lays hold on it; who keeps from defiling the sabbath, and keeps his hand from doing any evil.

vw@Isaiah:56:3 @ And do not let the son of the foreigner, who has joined himself to Jehovah, speak, saying, Jehovah has utterly separated me from His people. And do not let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.

vw@Isaiah:56:4 @ For thus says Jehovah to the eunuchs who keep My Sabbaths, and choose what pleases Me, and hold fast to My covenant:

vw@Isaiah:56:5 @ Even to them will I give within My house and within My walls a share and a name better than that of sons and of daughters; I will give them an everlasting name that shall not be cut off.

vw@Isaiah:56:6 @ Also the children of the foreigner, who join themselves to Jehovah to serve Him, and to love the name of Jehovah, to be His servants, everyone who keeps from defiling the Sabbath, and holds fast to My covenant:

vw@Isaiah:56:7 @ Even them I will bring to My holy mountain, and make them joyful in My house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted on My altar; for My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations.

vw@Isaiah:56:8 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah who gathers the outcasts of Israel, Yet I will gather to him others besides those who are gathered to him.

vw@Isaiah:56:9 @ All you beasts of the field, come to devour, all you beasts in the forest.

vw@Isaiah:56:10 @ His watchmen are blind; they are all ignorant; they are all dumb dogs who cannot bark, dreaming, lying down, loving to slumber.

vw@Isaiah:56:11 @ Yea, they are greedy dogs which never have enough. And they are shepherds who cannot understand; they all look to their own way, every one for his own gain, to his own end.

vw@Isaiah:56:12 @ They say, Come, let us get wine and binge on strong drink; and tomorrow shall be like today; much more abundant.

vw@Isaiah:57:1 @ The righteous perishes, and no one lays it to heart, and merciful men are taken away; no one considers that the righteous is taken away from the face of evil.

vw@Isaiah:57:2 @ He shall enter into peace; they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness.

vw@Isaiah:57:3 @ But draw near here, you sons of the sorceress, you seed of the adulterer and the harlot.

vw@Isaiah:57:4 @ Of whom do you make sport? Against whom do you make a wide mouth and stick out the tongue? Are you not children of transgression, a seed of deception,

vw@Isaiah:57:5 @ being inflamed with gods under every green tree, slaughtering the children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks?

vw@Isaiah:57:6 @ Among the smooth stones of the stream is your portion; they, even they, are your lot; even to them you have poured a drink offering, you have offered a food offering. Should I be comforted over these?

vw@Isaiah:57:7 @ On a lofty and high mountain you have set your bed; even there you went up to offer sacrifice.

vw@Isaiah:57:8 @ Also behind the doors and the posts you have set up your memorials; for you uncovered yourself and went up to those other than Me. You enlarged your bed and made a covenant with them; you have loved to experience their bed first hand.

vw@Isaiah:57:9 @ And you went to the king with ointment, and increased your perfumes, and sent your messengers far away, and lowered yourself even to Sheol.

vw@Isaiah:57:10 @ You are wearied in the length of your way; yet you did not say, There is no hope! You found life in your hand; therefore you were not weak.

vw@Isaiah:57:11 @ And of whom have you been afraid or feared, that you have lied and have not remembered Me, nor laid it to your heart? Have I not been silent, even for a long time, and you did not fear Me?

vw@Isaiah:57:12 @ I will declare your righteousness, and your works; for they shall not be of any benefit to you.

vw@Isaiah:57:13 @ When you cry out, let your collection of idols deliver you; but the wind shall carry them all away; a breath shall take them. But he who puts his trust in Me shall possess the land, and shall inherit My holy mountain.

vw@Isaiah:57:14 @ And He shall say, Raise up! Raise up! Clear a path! Remove the stumbling block out of the way of My people.

vw@Isaiah:57:15 @ For thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and consecrated place, even with the contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.

vw@Isaiah:57:16 @ For I will not contend forever, nor will I always be angry; for the spirit would grow faint before Me, and the souls I have made.

vw@Isaiah:57:17 @ For the iniquity of his covetousness I was angry and struck him; I hid Myself and was angry, and he went on backsliding in the way of his heart.

vw@Isaiah:57:18 @ I have seen his ways, and will heal him. I will also lead him, and restore comforts to him and to his mourners.

vw@Isaiah:57:19 @ I create the fruit of the lips: Peace, peace, to him who is far off, and to him who is near, says Jehovah; and I will heal him.

vw@Isaiah:57:20 @ But the wicked are like the troubled sea, which cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt.

vw@Isaiah:57:21 @ There is no peace, says my God, to the wicked.

vw@Isaiah:58:1 @ Cry aloud, do not spare; lift up your voice like a shofar, and declare to My people their transgression, and to the house of Jacob their sins.

vw@Isaiah:58:2 @ Yet they seek Me daily, and delight to know My ways, as a nation that did righteousness, and did not forsake the ordinance of their God. They ask of Me the ordinances of justice; they take delight in drawing near to God.

vw@Isaiah:58:3 @ They say, Why have we fasted, and You do not see? Why have we afflicted our souls, and You take no notice? Behold, in the day of your fast you devise pleasures, and oppress all your laborers.

vw@Isaiah:58:4 @ Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness; you shall not fast as you do today, to make your voice heard on high.

vw@Isaiah:58:5 @ Is it such a fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to afflict his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under him? Will you call this a fast and a day pleasing to Jehovah?

vw@Isaiah:58:6 @ Is not this the fast that I have chosen: To loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?

vw@Isaiah:58:7 @ Is it not to break your bread to the hungry, and that you should bring home the wandering poor? When you see the naked to cover him; and not hide yourself from your own flesh?

vw@Isaiah:58:8 @ Then shall your light break forth as the dawn, and your health shall spring forth speedily; and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of Jehovah shall bring up the rear.

vw@Isaiah:58:9 @ Then you shall call, and Jehovah will answer; you shall cry out, and He shall say, Here I am. If you take the yoke away from your midst, the pointing of the finger, and speaking wickedness;

vw@Isaiah:58:10 @ and if you extend your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul; then shall your light shine in the darkness, and your darkness shall be as the noonday.

vw@Isaiah:58:11 @ And Jehovah shall guide you continually and satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones fat; and you shall be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail.

vw@Isaiah:58:12 @ And those from among you shall build the old ruins; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; and you shall be called, The Repairer of the Breach, The Restorer of Paths to Dwell in.

vw@Isaiah:58:13 @ If you turn back your foot, on the Sabbath, from doing what you please on My holy days, and call the Sabbath a delight, the sacred of Jehovah, honorable; and shall honor Him, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words,

vw@Isaiah:58:14 @ then you shall delight yourself in Jehovah; and I will cause you to ride on the high places of the earth, and feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father. The mouth of Jehovah has spoken.

vw@Isaiah:59:1 @ Behold, Jehovah’s hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; nor is His ear heavy, that it cannot hear.

vw@Isaiah:59:2 @ But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hidden His face from you, that He will not hear.

vw@Isaiah:59:3 @ For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity; your lips have spoken lies, your tongue has uttered perverseness.

vw@Isaiah:59:4 @ No one calls for justice, nor does anyone plead for truth; they trust in vanity and speak lies. They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity.

vw@Isaiah:59:5 @ They hatch vipers’ eggs and weave the spider’s web; he who eats their eggs dies, and that which is crushed breaks out into a viper.

vw@Isaiah:59:6 @ Their webs shall not become garments, nor shall they cover themselves with their works; their works are works of iniquity, and the act of violence is in their hands.

vw@Isaiah:59:7 @ Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood; their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; devastation and destruction are in their paths.

vw@Isaiah:59:8 @ The way of peace they have not known, and there is no justice in their paths. They have made crooked paths for themselves; whoever goes in them shall not know peace.

vw@Isaiah:59:9 @ Therefore justice is far from us; nor does righteousness overtake us. We wait for daylight, but behold, the night; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.

vw@Isaiah:59:10 @ We grope for the wall like the blind, and we grope as if we had no eyes. We stumble at noonday as in the night; we are in desolate places like dead men.

vw@Isaiah:59:11 @ We all roar like bears, and mourn with moaning like doves; we look for justice, but there is none; for salvation, but it is far off from us.

vw@Isaiah:59:12 @ For our transgressions are multiplied before You, and our sins testify against us. For our transgressions are with us; and as for our iniquities, we know them;

vw@Isaiah:59:13 @ in transgressing and lying against Jehovah, and backsliding from our God, speaking oppression and revolt, conceiving and uttering from the heart words of falsehood.

vw@Isaiah:59:14 @ And justice is driven back, and righteousness stands afar off; for truth has fallen in the street, and uprightness cannot enter.

vw@Isaiah:59:15 @ Yea, truth fails; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. And Jehovah saw it, and it displeased Him that there was no justice.

vw@Isaiah:59:16 @ And He saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor. Therefore His own arm brought salvation unto Him; and His righteousness, it sustained Him.

vw@Isaiah:59:17 @ For He put on righteousness like a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on His head. And He put on the garments of vengeance for clothing, and was covered with zeal as a cloak.

vw@Isaiah:59:18 @ According to their deeds, accordingly He will repay; fury to His adversaries, recompense to His enemies. He will completely repay their deeds to the coastlands.

vw@Isaiah:59:19 @ So shall they fear the name of Jehovah from the west, and His glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of Jehovah shall drive him out.

vw@Isaiah:59:20 @ And the Redeemer shall come to Zion, and to those who turn from transgression in Jacob, says Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:59:21 @ As for Me, this is My covenant with them, says Jehovah; My Spirit that is upon you, and My Words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart out of your mouth, nor out of the mouth of your seed, nor out of the mouth of your seed’s seed, says Jehovah, from now on and forever.

vw@Isaiah:60:1 @ Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of Jehovah has risen upon you.

vw@Isaiah:60:2 @ For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people; but Jehovah shall arise over you, and His glory shall be seen upon you.

vw@Isaiah:60:3 @ And the nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawning.

vw@Isaiah:60:4 @ Lift up your eyes all around, and see. All of them gather themselves; they come to you. Your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be carried on the side.

vw@Isaiah:60:5 @ Then you shall be in awe and become radiant, and your heart shall tremble and swell for joy; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned to you, the wealth of the nations shall come unto you.

vw@Isaiah:60:6 @ A multitude of camels shall overwhelm you, the young camels of Midian and Ephah. All those from Sheba shall come; they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall proclaim the praises of Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:60:7 @ All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered together to you; the rams of Nebajoth shall minister to you. They shall come up on My altar and be acceptable to Me, and I will glorify the house of My glory.

vw@Isaiah:60:8 @ Who are these who fly like a cloud, and as the doves to their windows?

vw@Isaiah:60:9 @ Surely the coastlands shall wait for Me, and the ships of Tarshish will come first, to bring your children from afar, their silver and their gold with them, to the name of Jehovah your God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because He has glorified you.

vw@Isaiah:60:10 @ And the sons of foreigners shall build up your walls, and their kings shall serve you; for in My wrath I struck you, but in My favor I have had mercy upon you.

vw@Isaiah:60:11 @ Therefore your gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day or night, to bring to you the wealth of the nations, and that their kings may be led.

vw@Isaiah:60:12 @ For the nation and kingdom that will not serve you shall perish. Yes, those nations will be wasted unto desolation.

vw@Isaiah:60:13 @ The glory of Lebanon shall come to you, the fir tree, the pine tree, and the box tree together, to beautify the place of My sanctuary; and I will make the place of My feet glorious.

vw@Isaiah:60:14 @ Also the sons of those who afflicted you shall come bowing to you; and all those who despised you shall prostrate themselves at the soles of your feet. And they shall call you, The City of Jehovah, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

vw@Isaiah:60:15 @ Whereas you were forsaken and hated, so that no one passed through, I will make you a perpetual majesty, a joy of many generations.

vw@Isaiah:60:16 @ You shall also suck the milk of the nations, and suckle the breast of kings; and you shall know that I, Jehovah, am your Savior and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

vw@Isaiah:60:17 @ Instead of bronze I will bring gold, and instead of iron I will bring silver; and instead of wood I will bring bronze, and instead of stones, iron. I will also make your officers peace, and your overseers righteousness.

vw@Isaiah:60:18 @ Violence shall no more be heard in your land, neither devastation nor destruction within your borders; but you shall call your walls Salvation, and your gates Praise.

vw@Isaiah:60:19 @ The sun shall no more be your light by day; nor the brightness of the moon give light to you; but Jehovah will be to you an everlasting light, and your God your glory.

vw@Isaiah:60:20 @ Your sun shall not go down any more, nor shall your moon withdraw itself; for Jehovah will be your everlasting light, and the days of your mourning shall be ended.

vw@Isaiah:60:21 @ Your people also shall all be righteous; they shall inherit the land forever, the branch of My planting, the work of My hands, so that I may be glorified.

vw@Isaiah:60:22 @ A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I, Jehovah, will hasten it in its time.

vw@Isaiah:61:1 @ The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon Me; because Jehovah has anointed Me to preach the Gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to those who are bound;

vw@Isaiah:61:2 @ to proclaim the acceptable year of Jehovah and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all who mourn;

vw@Isaiah:61:3 @ to appoint to those who mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the mantle of praise for the spirit of heaviness; so that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that He might be glorified.

vw@Isaiah:61:4 @ And they shall rebuild the old wastes, they shall raise up what was formerly desolated. And they shall repair the waste cities, what lay desolate for many generations.

vw@Isaiah:61:5 @ And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of foreigners shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.

vw@Isaiah:61:6 @ But you shall be named, The Priests of Jehovah; and they shall call you, Ministers of our God. You shall eat the riches of the nations, and you shall revel in their glory.

vw@Isaiah:61:7 @ Instead of your shame you shall have double; and instead of reproach they shall rejoice in their portion. Therefore in their own land they shall possess double; everlasting joy shall be theirs.

vw@Isaiah:61:8 @ For I, Jehovah, love justice; I hate stolen things for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.

vw@Isaiah:61:9 @ And their seed shall be known among the nations, and their offspring among the people; all who see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed Jehovah has blessed.

vw@Isaiah:61:10 @ I will greatly rejoice in Jehovah, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for He has clothed me with the garment of salvation, He has covered me with the robe of righteousness like a bridegroom adorns himself with ornaments, and like a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

vw@Isaiah:61:11 @ For as the earth brings forth its bud, and as the garden causes that which is sown to grow; so the Lord Jehovah will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

vw@Isaiah:62:1 @ For Zion’s sake I will not be silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until its righteousness goes forth as brightness, and her salvation as a burning lamp.

vw@Isaiah:62:2 @ And the nations shall see your righteousness, and all kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah will name.

vw@Isaiah:62:3 @ You also shall be a crown of glory in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.

vw@Isaiah:62:4 @ You shall no more be called Forsaken; nor shall your land any more be called Desolate; but you shall be called My Delight Is In Her, and your land, Married; for Jehovah delights in you, and your land is married.

vw@Isaiah:62:5 @ For as a young man marries a virgin, so shall your sons marry you; and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so will your God rejoice over you.

vw@Isaiah:62:6 @ I have set watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem, who shall never be silent day or night; you who remember Jehovah, do not keep silent.

vw@Isaiah:62:7 @ And give Him no rest until He establishes and makes Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

vw@Isaiah:62:8 @ Jehovah has sworn by His right hand, and by the arm of His strength: Surely I will no more give your grain as food for your enemies; and the children of foreigners shall not drink your wine for which you have labored.

vw@Isaiah:62:9 @ But those who gathered it shall eat it, and praise Jehovah; and those who brought it together shall drink it in My holy courts.

vw@Isaiah:62:10 @ Pass! Pass through the gates! Prepare the way for the people. Raise up! Raise up the highway; gather out the stones; lift up a banner for the people.

vw@Isaiah:62:11 @ Behold, Jehovah has proclaimed to the ends of the earth, Say to the daughter of Zion, Behold, your salvation comes. Behold, His reward is with Him, and His work before Him.

vw@Isaiah:62:12 @ And they shall call them, The Holy People, The Redeemed Of Jehovah; and you shall be called, Sought Out, A City Not Forsaken.

vw@Isaiah:63:1 @ Who is this who comes from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah, this One adorned in His apparel, flexing His great strength? I who speak in righteousness, mighty to save.

vw@Isaiah:63:2 @ Why is Your apparel red, and Your garments like one who treads in the winepress?

vw@Isaiah:63:3 @ I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the peoples there was no one with Me; for I tread them in My anger and trample them in My fury, and their blood is sprinkled on My garments, and I have stained all My apparel.

vw@Isaiah:63:4 @ For the day of vengeance is in My heart, and the year of My redeemed has come.

vw@Isaiah:63:5 @ And I looked, and there was no one to help; and I wondered that there was no one to uphold; therefore My own arm has given victory for Me; and My fury sustained Me.

vw@Isaiah:63:6 @ And I will tread down the people in My anger, and make them drunk in My fury, and I will bring down their blood to the earth.

vw@Isaiah:63:7 @ I will mention the lovingkindnesses of Jehovah, the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah has bestowed upon us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel which He has bestowed upon them according to His mercies, and according to the multitude of His lovingkindnesses.

vw@Isaiah:63:8 @ For He said, Surely they are My people, children that will not lie; so He was their Savior.

vw@Isaiah:63:9 @ In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them; in His love and in His pity He redeemed them; and He bore them, and carried them all the days of old.

vw@Isaiah:63:10 @ But they rebelled, and grieved His Holy Spirit; therefore He changed, to be their enemy, and He fought against them.

vw@Isaiah:63:11 @ Then He remembered the days of old, Moses and His people, saying, Where is He who brought them up out of the sea with the shepherd of His flock? Where is He who put His Holy Spirit within him;

vw@Isaiah:63:12 @ who led them by the right hand of Moses with His glorious arm, dividing the water before them, to make for Himself an everlasting name?

vw@Isaiah:63:13 @ He led them through the deep, like a horse in the wilderness, so that they might not stumble.

vw@Isaiah:63:14 @ As a beast goes down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah caused him to rest. So You led Your people, to make for Yourself a glorious name.

vw@Isaiah:63:15 @ Look down from Heaven, and look down from the place of Your holiness and of Your glory. Where is Your zeal and Your strength, the multitude of Your tender affections and of Your mercies toward me? Are they restrained?

vw@Isaiah:63:16 @ Indeed, You are our Father, though Abraham does not know us, and Israel does not acknowledge us. You, O Jehovah, are our Father, our Redeemer; Your name is from everlasting.

vw@Isaiah:63:17 @ O Jehovah, why have You made us wander from Your ways, and hardened our heart from Your fear? For the sake of Your servants, return the tribes of Your inheritance.

vw@Isaiah:63:18 @ The people of Your holiness have possessed it but a little while; our enemies have trampled Your sanctuary.

vw@Isaiah:63:19 @ We are from antiquity; You never ruled over them; they were never called by Your name.

vw@Isaiah:64:1 @ Oh that You would rend the heavens and come down! That the mountains would quake at Your presence,

vw@Isaiah:64:2 @ as the brushwood fire burns, as the fire causes water to boil; to make Your name known to Your adversaries, that the nations may tremble at Your presence!

vw@Isaiah:64:3 @ When You did awesome things which we did not look for, You came down, the mountains shook at Your presence.

vw@Isaiah:64:4 @ For since ancient times they have not heard, nor been obedient. Eye has not seen any god besides You, who works for him who waits for Him.

vw@Isaiah:64:5 @ You meet him who rejoices and works righteousness, those who remember You in Your ways (Behold, You were angry, for we sinned continually), and we shall be saved.

vw@Isaiah:64:6 @ But we are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are like a menstruation cloth. And we all fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

vw@Isaiah:64:7 @ And there is no one who calls upon Your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of You. For You have hidden Your face from us, and have melted us away because of our iniquities.

vw@Isaiah:64:8 @ But now, O Jehovah, You are our Father; we are the clay, and You are the One who forms us; and we all are the work of Your hand.

vw@Isaiah:64:9 @ Do not be greatly furious, O Jehovah, nor remember iniquity forever. Behold, please look. We all are Your people.

vw@Isaiah:64:10 @ Your holy cities are a wilderness; Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem is a desolation.

vw@Isaiah:64:11 @ Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers praised You, is burned up with fire; and all our pleasant things are laid waste.

vw@Isaiah:64:12 @ Will You restrain Yourself over these things, O Jehovah? Will You be silent and greatly afflict us?

vw@Isaiah:65:1 @ I am sought by those who asked not for Me; I am found by those who did not seek Me. I had said, Look to Me, Look to Me; to a nation that was not calling upon My name.

vw@Isaiah:65:2 @ I have spread out My hands all the day to a rebellious people who walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;

vw@Isaiah:65:3 @ a people who continually provoke Me to anger to My face; who sacrifice in gardens, and burn incense on altars of bricks;

vw@Isaiah:65:4 @ who remain among the graves, and spend the night in the tombs, who eat swine’s flesh, and the broth of unclean things in their vessels;

vw@Isaiah:65:5 @ who say, Keep to yourself, do not come near me; for I am holier than you. These are a smoke in My nose, a fire that burns all the day.

vw@Isaiah:65:6 @ Behold, it is written before Me; I will not be silent, but what I will repay; yea, I will repay into their bosom

vw@Isaiah:65:7 @ your iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, says Jehovah, who have burned incense on the mountains, and blasphemed Me on the hills. Therefore I will measure their former work into their bosom.

vw@Isaiah:65:8 @ Thus says Jehovah, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, Do not destroy it, for a blessing is in it; so I will do to My servants, that I may not destroy them all.

vw@Isaiah:65:9 @ And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah one who inherits My mountains; and My elect shall inherit it, and My servants shall dwell there.

vw@Isaiah:65:10 @ And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the Valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down, for My people who have sought Me.

vw@Isaiah:65:11 @ But you are those who forsake Jehovah, who forget My holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who furnish the drink offering to Fate.

vw@Isaiah:65:12 @ Therefore I have assigned you to the sword; and you shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you did not answer; when I spoke, you did not hear, but did evil before My eyes, and chose that in which I have not delighted.

vw@Isaiah:65:13 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah, Behold, My servants will eat, but you shall be hungry. Behold, My servants will drink, but you shall be thirsty. Behold, My servants will rejoice, but you shall be ashamed.

vw@Isaiah:65:14 @ Behold, My servants will sing for joy of heart, but you shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall howl because of a crushed spirit.

vw@Isaiah:65:15 @ And you shall leave your name as a curse to My elect; for the Lord Jehovah will kill you, and call His servants by another name.

vw@Isaiah:65:16 @ He who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth. And he who swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from My eyes.

vw@Isaiah:65:17 @ For behold, I create new heavens and a new earth. And the former shall not be remembered, nor come to mind.

vw@Isaiah:65:18 @ But be glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for behold, I create Jerusalem as a rejoicing, and her people as a joy.

vw@Isaiah:65:19 @ I have rejoiced in Jerusalem, and exulted in My people. And the voice of weeping shall no more be heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

vw@Isaiah:65:20 @ There shall not be an infant of only a few days, nor an old man that has not fulfilled his days. For the child shall die at a hundred years old; but the sinner who is a hundred years old shall be accursed.

vw@Isaiah:65:21 @ And they shall build houses and live in them; and they shall plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

vw@Isaiah:65:22 @ They shall not build, and another live in them; they shall not plant, and another eat. For as the days of a tree are the days of My people, and My elect shall grow old enjoying the work of their hands.

vw@Isaiah:65:23 @ They shall not labor in vain, nor bring forth children for terror. For they are the seed of the blessed of Jehovah, and their offspring with them.

vw@Isaiah:65:24 @ And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer; and while they are still speaking, I will hear.

vw@Isaiah:65:25 @ The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent’s food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, says Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:66:1 @ Thus says Jehovah, Heaven is My throne, and earth My footstool. Where, then, is the house that you would build for Me? And where is the place of My rest?

vw@Isaiah:66:2 @ For all those My hand has made, and all those exist, says Jehovah. But to this one will I have regard: To the lowly and contrite of spirit, and the one who trembles at My Word.

vw@Isaiah:66:3 @ He who kills an ox is as if he killed a man; he who sacrifices a lamb is as if he broke a dog’s neck; he who offers an offering is as if he offered swine’s blood; he who burns incense is as if he blessed an idol. Yea, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights in their abominations.

vw@Isaiah:66:4 @ I also will choose the things that delude them, and I will bring their fears upon them, because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they have not obeyed. But they did evil before My eyes and have chosen that in which I have not delighted.

vw@Isaiah:66:5 @ Hear the Word of Jehovah, you who tremble at His Word: Your brothers who hated you, who cast you out because of My name, said, Let Jehovah be glorified. But He will appear for your joy, and they shall be ashamed.

vw@Isaiah:66:6 @ A roaring sound from the city, a sound from the temple, the sound of Jehovah repaying His enemies.

vw@Isaiah:66:7 @ Before she writhed in labor, she gave birth; before her pangs came, she delivered a male child.

vw@Isaiah:66:8 @ Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion had gone into labor, she had brought forth her children.

vw@Isaiah:66:9 @ Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth, says Jehovah? Shall I beget, and then restrain the womb? says your God.

vw@Isaiah:66:10 @ Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you who love her. Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;

vw@Isaiah:66:11 @ that you may suckle and be satisfied with her comforting breasts; that you may suck milk and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.

vw@Isaiah:66:12 @ For thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like a flowing stream. Then you shall suckle, you shall be carried on her sides and be dandled upon her knees.

vw@Isaiah:66:13 @ As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.

vw@Isaiah:66:14 @ And you shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the grass. And the hand of Jehovah shall be known toward His servants, and His indignation toward His enemies.

vw@Isaiah:66:15 @ For behold, Jehovah will come with fire and with His chariots like a tempest, to refresh His anger with fury, and His rebuke with flames of fire.

vw@Isaiah:66:16 @ For by fire and by His sword Jehovah will judge all flesh; and the slain of Jehovah shall be many.

vw@Isaiah:66:17 @ Those who sanctify themselves, and purify themselves to go into the garden after an idol that is in its midst, eating swine’s flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall come to an end together, says Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:66:18 @ For I know their works and their thoughts. It shall come to pass that I will gather all the nations and tongues; and they shall come and see My glory.

vw@Isaiah:66:19 @ And I will set a sign among them. And those among them who escape I will send to the nations; to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud (who draw the bow), to Tubal, and Javan; to the far away coasts that have not heard of My fame, nor seen My glory. And they shall declare My glory among the nations.

vw@Isaiah:66:20 @ And they shall bring all your brothers for an offering to Jehovah out of all nations on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on camels, to My holy mountain Jerusalem, says Jehovah, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:66:21 @ And I will also take some of them for priests and for Levites, says Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:66:22 @ For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before Me, says Jehovah, so shall your seed and your name remain.

vw@Isaiah:66:23 @ And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, all flesh shall come to bow down before Me, says Jehovah.

vw@Isaiah:66:24 @ And they shall go out and observe the dead corpses of the men who have rebelled against Me. For their worm does not die, nor is their fire quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence to all flesh.

vw@Jeremiah:1:2 @ to whom the Word of Jehovah came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign.

vw@Jeremiah:1:9 @ And Jehovah put forth His hand, and touched my mouth. And Jehovah said to me, Behold, I have put My Words in your mouth.

vw@Jeremiah:1:10 @ Behold, I have this day set you over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

vw@Jeremiah:1:13 @ And the Word of Jehovah came unto me the second time, saying, What do you see? And I said, I see a boiling pot; and its face is facing north.

vw@Jeremiah:1:15 @ For behold, I will call all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says Jehovah; and they shall come, and they shall each one set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls all around, and against all the cities of Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:1:17 @ You therefore gird up your loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed at their faces, lest I shame you before them.

vw@Jeremiah:1:18 @ For behold, I have made you a fortified city this day, and an iron pillar, and bronze walls against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, against its rulers, against its priests, and against the people of the land.

vw@Jeremiah:2:3 @ Israel was holiness to Jehovah, and the firstfruits of His increase. All that devour him shall be held guilty; evil shall come upon them, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:2:4 @ Hear the Word of Jehovah, O house of Jacob, and all the families of the house of Israel.

vw@Jeremiah:2:6 @ Nor did they say, Where is Jehovah who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, who led us through the wilderness, through a land of deserts and of pits, through a land of dry places, and of the shadow of death, through a land that no man passed through, and where no man lived?

vw@Jeremiah:2:8 @ The priests did not say, Where is Jehovah? And they who handle the Law did not know Me; the shepherds also rebelled against Me, and the prophets prophesied by Baal, and walked after things that do not profit.

vw@Jeremiah:2:10 @ For pass over the coasts of Kittim, and see; and send to Kedar, and consider carefully, and see if there is such a thing.

vw@Jeremiah:2:12 @ Be appalled, O heavens, at this, and be horribly afraid; be greatly desolated, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:2:13 @ For My people have committed two evils; they have forsaken Me, the Fountain of Living Waters, to hew out cisterns for themselves, broken cisterns that can hold no water.

vw@Jeremiah:2:14 @ Is Israel a servant? Or is he a homeborn slave? Why is he plundered?

vw@Jeremiah:2:15 @ The young lions roared against him; they uttered their voice. And they made his land a waste; his cities are burned without inhabitant.

vw@Jeremiah:2:17 @ Have you not brought this upon yourself, in that you have forsaken Jehovah your God, when He led you by the way?

vw@Jeremiah:2:19 @ Your own evil shall correct you, and your backslidings shall reprove you. Therefore know and see that it is an evil and bitter thing that you have forsaken Jehovah your God, and that My fear is not in you, says the Lord Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Jeremiah:2:22 @ For though you wash yourself with lye, and use much soap, yet your iniquity is stained before Me, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:2:23 @ How can you say, I am not defiled; I have not gone after the Baals? See your way in the valley, know what you have done! You are a swift camel crisscrossing its ways.

vw@Jeremiah:2:24 @ A wild ass used to the wilderness, in her cravings she sniffs at the wind; when she is in heat who can turn her away? All those who seek her will not weary themselves; in her month they will find her.

vw@Jeremiah:2:25 @ Withhold your foot from being bare, and your throat from thirst. But you said, There is no hope. No! For I have loved strangers, and after them I will go.

vw@Jeremiah:2:26 @ As the thief is ashamed when he is found out, so is the house of Israel ashamed; they, their kings, their rulers, and their priests, and their prophets;

vw@Jeremiah:2:27 @ saying to a tree, You are my father; and to a stone, You gave birth to me. For they have turned their back to Me, and not their face; but in the time of their distress they will say, Arise and save us!

vw@Jeremiah:2:28 @ But where are your gods that you have made for yourselves? Let them arise, if they can save you in the time of your distress; for according to the number of your cities are your gods, O Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:2:31 @ O generation, see the Word of Jehovah. Have I been a wilderness to Israel, or a land of darkness? Why do My people say, We roam freely; we will come no more to You?

vw@Jeremiah:2:34 @ Also in your skirts is found the blood of the souls of the poor innocents; I did not find them by secret search, but plainly on all these.

vw@Jeremiah:2:35 @ Yet you say, Because I am innocent, surely His anger shall turn from me. Behold, I will plead with you, because you say, I have not sinned.

vw@Jeremiah:2:37 @ Indeed, you shall go out from this place, with your hands on your head. For Jehovah has rejected those in whom you trust, and you will not prosper by them.

vw@Jeremiah:3:1 @ They say, If a man puts away his wife, and she goes from him and becomes another man’s, shall he return to her again? Would not that land be greatly polluted? But you have committed adultery with many lovers; yet turn back to Me, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:3:2 @ Lift up your eyes to the desolate heights, and see. Where have you not been lain with and ravished? By the highways you have sat for them, like an Arabian in the wilderness; and you have polluted the land with your harlotry and with your evil.

vw@Jeremiah:3:5 @ Will He keep His anger forever? Will He keep it to the end? Behold, you have spoken and done all the evil things you could.

vw@Jeremiah:3:6 @ Jehovah also said to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every green tree, and has committed adultery there.

vw@Jeremiah:3:7 @ And after she had done all these things I said, Turn back to Me! But she did not return. And her treacherous sister Judah saw it.

vw@Jeremiah:3:8 @ And I saw, when for all the causes for which backsliding Israel committed adultery, I put her away and gave her a certificate of divorce; yet her treacherous sister Judah did not fear, but she also went and committed adultery.

vw@Jeremiah:3:10 @ And yet for all this her treacherous sister Judah has not returned to Me with her whole heart, but in pretense, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:3:11 @ And Jehovah said to me, Backsliding Israel has shown herself to be more righteous than treacherous Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:3:12 @ Go and proclaim these words toward the north, and say, Return, O backsliding Israel, says Jehovah; and I will not cause My anger to fall upon you; for I am merciful, says Jehovah, and I will not keep anger forever.

vw@Jeremiah:3:18 @ In those days the house of Judah shall walk with the house of Israel, and they shall come together out of the land of the north to the land that I have given for an inheritance to your fathers.

vw@Jeremiah:3:20 @ Surely as a wife treacherously departs from her companion, so you have dealt treacherously with me, O house of Israel, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:3:21 @ A voice was heard on the desolate heights; weeping and supplications of the children of Israel; for they have perverted their way, and they have forgotten Jehovah their God.

vw@Jeremiah:3:23 @ Truly, deception comes from the high hills, from the multitudes on the mountains. Truly, in Jehovah our God is the salvation of Israel.

vw@Jeremiah:3:25 @ We lie down in our shame, and our reproach covers us; for we have sinned against Jehovah our God, we and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, and have not obeyed the voice of Jehovah our God.

vw@Jeremiah:4:1 @ If you will return, O Israel, says Jehovah, return to Me. And if you will put away your abominations out of My sight, then you shall not waver.

vw@Jeremiah:4:4 @ Circumcise yourselves to Jehovah, and take away the foreskins of your hearts, you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem; lest My fury come forth like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

vw@Jeremiah:4:7 @ The lion has come up from his thicket, and the destroyer of the nations has set out; he has gone forth from his place to make your land a waste. Your cities will fall into ruins without inhabitant.

vw@Jeremiah:4:8 @ Put on sackcloth for this, wail and howl; for the fierce anger of Jehovah is not turned back from us.

vw@Jeremiah:4:9 @ And it shall come to pass in that day, says Jehovah, that the heart of the king shall perish, and the heart of the rulers; and the priests shall be appalled, and the prophets shall be stunned.

vw@Jeremiah:4:10 @ Then I said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! Surely You have greatly deceived this people and Jerusalem, saying, You shall have peace; whereas the sword reaches to the soul.

vw@Jeremiah:4:11 @ At that time it shall be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A dry wind from the desolate heights in the wilderness blows toward the daughter of My people, not to sift nor to cleanse.

vw@Jeremiah:4:13 @ Behold, he shall come up like clouds, and his chariots like a tempest. His horses are swifter than eagles. Woe to us, for we are plundered!

vw@Jeremiah:4:16 @ Tell it to the nations: Behold! proclaim against Jerusalem! Watchers are going to come from a distant land; and they will utter their voice against the cities of Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:4:18 @ Your way and your doings have procured these things for you; this is your evil, because it is bitter, because it reaches to your heart.

vw@Jeremiah:4:20 @ Destruction upon destruction is proclaimed; for the whole land is devastated. Suddenly my tents are destroyed, my curtains in a moment.

vw@Jeremiah:4:22 @ For My people are foolish; they have not known Me; they are foolish children, and they have no understanding. They are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.

vw@Jeremiah:4:26 @ I looked, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilderness, and all its cities were broken down at the presence of Jehovah, before His fierce anger.

vw@Jeremiah:4:28 @ The earth shall mourn for this, and the heavens above shall be black, because I have spoken, I have purposed, and will not be moved to pity, nor will I turn back from it.

vw@Jeremiah:4:29 @ Every city shall flee at the sound of the horsemen and bowmen. They shall go into thickets and climb up among the rocks. Every city is abandoned, and not a man shall live in them.

vw@Jeremiah:4:30 @ And you, what will you do when you are ruined? Though you dress with crimson, though you put on ornaments of gold, though you make your eyes large with paint, you shall make yourself beautiful in vain; your lovers will despise you; they will seek your life.

vw@Jeremiah:4:31 @ For I have heard a voice as of a woman in labor, the anguish as of one bearing her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, gasping and spreading her hands, saying, Woe to me now! For my soul is weary because of murderers.

vw@Jeremiah:5:1 @ Run to and fro through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek in her open places, if you can find a man, if there is one who does justice, who seeks the truth; and I will pardon her.

vw@Jeremiah:5:4 @ So I said, Surely these are poor; they are foolish; for they do not know the way of Jehovah, nor the judgment of their God.

vw@Jeremiah:5:7 @ How shall I pardon you for this? Your children have forsaken Me, and have sworn by those that are not gods. When I adjured them, then they committed adultery, and gathered themselves by troops in a harlot’s house.

vw@Jeremiah:5:8 @ They were like lusty, well-fed stallions in the morning; every one neighing after his neighbor’s wife.

vw@Jeremiah:5:9 @ Shall I not punish for these things? says Jehovah. And shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

vw@Jeremiah:5:11 @ For the house of Israel and the house of Judah have dealt very treacherously against Me, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:5:12 @ They have denied Jehovah and said, It is not He; neither shall evil come upon us; nor shall we see sword nor famine.

vw@Jeremiah:5:13 @ And the prophets shall become wind, for the Word is not in them; thus it shall be done to them.

vw@Jeremiah:5:14 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah the God of Hosts, Because you speak this word, behold, I will make My Words in your mouth fire, and these people wood, and it shall devour them.

vw@Jeremiah:5:15 @ Lo, I will bring a nation against you from afar, O house of Israel, says Jehovah. It is an enduring nation, it is an ancient nation, a nation whose language you do not know, nor understand what they say.

vw@Jeremiah:5:16 @ Their quiver is as an open grave; they are all mighty men.

vw@Jeremiah:5:19 @ And it will be when you shall say, Why does Jehovah our God do all these things to us? then you shall answer them, Just as you have forsaken Me and served foreign gods in your land, so you shall serve strangers in a land that is not yours.

vw@Jeremiah:5:20 @ Declare this in the house of Jacob, and proclaim it in Judah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:5:21 @ Now hear this, O foolish people, without understanding; who have eyes and see not; who have ears and hear not.

vw@Jeremiah:5:23 @ But this people has a stubborn and rebellious heart; they have turned aside and departed.

vw@Jeremiah:5:29 @ Shall I not punish for these things? says Jehovah. Shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

vw@Jeremiah:6:3 @ The shepherds with their flocks shall come to her; they shall pitch tents against her all around; they shall feed each one in his place.

vw@Jeremiah:6:4 @ Prepare war against her; arise and let us go up at noon. Woe to us! For the day goes away, for the shadows of the evening are stretched out.

vw@Jeremiah:6:5 @ Arise, and let us go by night, and let us destroy her palaces.

vw@Jeremiah:6:6 @ For thus has Jehovah of Hosts said, Cut down trees and cast a mound against Jerusalem! This is the city to be punished; she is full of oppression in her midst.

vw@Jeremiah:6:7 @ As a fountain keeps fresh its waters, so she keeps fresh her evil; violence and devastation is heard in her; before Me continually are sickness and wounds.

vw@Jeremiah:6:9 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, They shall thoroughly glean the remnant of Israel like a vine; as a grape gatherer, put your hand back to the branches.

vw@Jeremiah:6:10 @ To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? Behold, their ears are uncircumcised, and they cannot give heed. Behold, the Word of Jehovah is a reproach to them; they have no delight in it.

vw@Jeremiah:6:11 @ Therefore I am full of the fury of Jehovah; I am weary with holding it in; I will pour it out on the children outside, and on the group of young men together. For even the husband shall be taken along with the wife, the aged who is full of days.

vw@Jeremiah:6:14 @ They have also healed the ruin of my people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

vw@Jeremiah:6:15 @ Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No, they were not at all ashamed, nor did they know how to blush; therefore they shall fall among those who fall. At the time that I punish them they shall be cast down, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:6:16 @ Thus says Jehovah, Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths where the good way is, and walk in it, and you shall find rest for your souls. But they said, We will not walk in it.

vw@Jeremiah:6:17 @ Also I set watchmen over you, saying, Listen to the sound of the shofar. But they said, We will not listen.

vw@Jeremiah:6:18 @ Therefore hear, you nations, and know, O congregation, what is coming upon them.

vw@Jeremiah:6:19 @ Hear, O earth; behold, I will bring evil on this people, the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not heeded My Words, nor My Law, but rejected it.

vw@Jeremiah:6:20 @ For what purpose does frankincense come to Me from Sheba, and the sweet cane from a distant land? Your burnt offerings are not pleasing, nor are your sacrifices sweet to Me.

vw@Jeremiah:6:21 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will lay stumbling blocks before this people, and the fathers and the sons together shall stumble on them; the neighbor and his friend shall perish.

vw@Jeremiah:6:24 @ We have heard the rumor of it; our hands become feeble; anguish has taken hold of us, and pain, as of a woman in labor.

vw@Jeremiah:6:29 @ The bellows are scorched, the lead is consumed by the fire; the refiner melts in vain; for the wicked are not drawn off.

vw@Jeremiah:7:2 @ Stand in the gate of the house of Jehovah, and proclaim there this Word, and say, Hear the Word of Jehovah, all Judah, who enter in at these gates to bow down to Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:7:3 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, Make your ways and your doings good, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.

vw@Jeremiah:7:4 @ Do not trust in lying words, saying, The temple of Jehovah, The temple of Jehovah, This is the temple of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:7:5 @ For if you thoroughly make your ways and your doings good; if you work to execute justice between a man and his neighbor;

vw@Jeremiah:7:6 @ if you do not oppress the sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place, nor walk after other gods to your hurt;

vw@Jeremiah:7:7 @ then I will cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, forever and ever.

vw@Jeremiah:7:10 @ and then come and stand before Me in this house which is called by My name, and say, We are delivered to do all those abominations?

vw@Jeremiah:7:11 @ Has this house, which is called by My name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, I, even I, have seen it, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:7:12 @ But go now to My place which was in Shiloh, where I set My name at the first, and see what I did to it because of the evil of My people Israel.

vw@Jeremiah:7:13 @ And now, because you have done all these works, says Jehovah, and I spoke to you, rising up early and speaking, but you did not hear; and I called you, but you did not answer;

vw@Jeremiah:7:14 @ therefore I will do to this house, which is called by My name, in which you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

vw@Jeremiah:7:16 @ Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry nor prayer for them, nor make intercession to Me; for I will not hear you.

vw@Jeremiah:7:19 @ Do they provoke Me to anger? says Jehovah. Is it not themselves, to the shame of their own faces.

vw@Jeremiah:7:20 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah, Behold, My anger and My fury shall be poured out on this place, on man, and on beast, and on the trees of the field, and on the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched.

vw@Jeremiah:7:21 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Snatch away your burnt offerings from your sacrifices, and eat flesh.

vw@Jeremiah:7:23 @ But this is what I commanded them, saying, Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you shall be My people; and walk in all the ways that I have commanded you, so that it may be well with you.

vw@Jeremiah:7:24 @ But they did not listen, nor extend their ear, but walked in their own plans, in the stubbornness of their evil heart, and went backward and not forward.

vw@Jeremiah:7:25 @ Since the day that your fathers came out of the land of Egypt until this day I have even sent to you all My servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them.

vw@Jeremiah:7:26 @ Yet they did not listen to Me, nor extend their ear, but hardened their neck. They did worse than their fathers.

vw@Jeremiah:7:27 @ Therefore you shall speak all these words to them, but they will not listen to you; you shall also call to them, but they will not answer you.

vw@Jeremiah:7:28 @ But you shall say to them, This is a nation which does not obey the voice of Jehovah their God, nor receives instruction; truth has perished, and is cut off from their mouth.

vw@Jeremiah:7:29 @ Cut off your hair and throw it away, and take up a lamentation on the desolate heights. For Jehovah has rejected and forsaken the generation of His wrath.

vw@Jeremiah:7:30 @ For the sons of Judah have done evil in My eyes, says Jehovah. They have set their abominations in the house which is called by My name, in order to defile it.

vw@Jeremiah:7:31 @ They have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I did not command them, nor did it even come into My heart.

vw@Jeremiah:7:32 @ Therefore behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter. For they shall bury in Tophet, until there is no more room.

vw@Jeremiah:7:33 @ And the carcasses of this people shall be food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth; and no one will frighten them away.

vw@Jeremiah:8:3 @ And death shall be chosen rather than life by all the rest of those who remain of this evil family, who remain in all the places where I have driven them, says Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Jeremiah:8:4 @ Moreover you shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah, Shall they fall and not arise? Shall he turn away and not return?

vw@Jeremiah:8:5 @ Why has this people of Jerusalem slidden back by a continual backsliding? They hold fast to deceit; they refuse to return.

vw@Jeremiah:8:6 @ I listened and heard, but they did not speak right; no man repented of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? Everyone turned to his own course, as a horse rushes into the battle.

vw@Jeremiah:8:8 @ How can you say, We are wise, and the Law of Jehovah is with us? Lo, certainly the lying pen of the scribes has written falsehood.

vw@Jeremiah:8:9 @ The wise are ashamed, they are dismayed, and are captured. Lo, they have rejected the Word of Jehovah; so what wisdom is in them?

vw@Jeremiah:8:11 @ For they have healed the ruin of the daughter of My people slightly, saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.

vw@Jeremiah:8:12 @ Were they ashamed when they had committed abominations? No, they were not at all ashamed, nor did they know how to blush. Therefore they shall fall among those who fall; in the time of their punishment they shall be cast down, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:8:16 @ The snorting of his horses was heard from Dan; the whole land trembled at the sound of the neighing of his valiant ones. For they have come, and devoured the land, and all that is in it; the city, and those who live in it.

vw@Jeremiah:8:18 @ I would comfort myself against sorrow, my heart is faint within me.

vw@Jeremiah:8:19 @ Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a distant land. Is not Jehovah in Zion? Is not her King in her? Why have they provoked Me to anger with their graven images, with foreign vanities?

vw@Jeremiah:8:20 @ The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.

vw@Jeremiah:8:22 @ Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then has the healing of the daughter of my people not come?

vw@Jeremiah:9:4 @ Everyone beware of his neighbor, and do not trust any brother! For every brother will supplant and assail his neighbor, and will walk with slanderers.

vw@Jeremiah:9:5 @ And everyone will deceive his neighbor and will not speak the truth; they have taught their tongue to speak lies, and they weary themselves to commit iniquity.

vw@Jeremiah:9:6 @ Your dwelling is in the midst of deceit; through deceit they refuse to know Me, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:9:8 @ Their tongue is a slaughtering arrow; it speaks deceit; one speaks peaceably to his neighbor with his mouth, but in his heart he lies in wait.

vw@Jeremiah:9:9 @ Shall I not punish them for these things? says Jehovah; shall not My soul be avenged on such a nation as this?

vw@Jeremiah:9:12 @ Who is the wise man who may understand this? And who is he to whom the mouth of Jehovah has spoken, that he may declare it? Why does the land perish and burn up like a wilderness, so that no one passes through?

vw@Jeremiah:9:15 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feed them, even this people, with wormwood, and make them drink bitter water.

vw@Jeremiah:9:17 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, Consider carefully, and call for those who lament, that they may come. And send for the wise women, that they may come;

vw@Jeremiah:9:19 @ For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion. How we are plundered! We are greatly ashamed, because we have forsaken the land, because they have thrown down our tents.

vw@Jeremiah:9:20 @ Yet hear the Word of Jehovah, O women, and let your ear receive the Word of His mouth, and teach your daughters a mourning song, and each one teach her neighbor a lamentation.

vw@Jeremiah:9:23 @ Thus says Jehovah, Let not the wise glory in his wisdom, nor let the mighty glory in his might; let not the rich glory in his riches;

vw@Jeremiah:9:24 @ but let him who glories glory in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am Jehovah, doing kindness, justice, and righteousness in the earth; for in these things I delight, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:9:25 @ Behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that I will punish all the circumcised along with the uncircumcised;

vw@Jeremiah:9:26 @ Egypt, and Judah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all who are in the remotest quarters, who dwell in the wilderness. For all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Israel are uncircumcised in heart.

vw@Jeremiah:10:1 @ Hear the Word which Jehovah speaks to you, O house of Israel.

vw@Jeremiah:10:2 @ Thus says Jehovah, Do not learn the way of the nations, and do not be dismayed at the signs of the heavens; for the nations are dismayed at them.

vw@Jeremiah:10:5 @ They are crafted into hammered work like a palm tree, and they cannot speak. They must be lifted up and carried, because they cannot walk. Do not be afraid of them; for they are not able to do evil, neither is it in them to do good.

vw@Jeremiah:10:6 @ There is none like You, O Jehovah; You are great, and Your name is great in might.

vw@Jeremiah:10:7 @ Who would not fear You, O King of nations? For fear is befitting to You, because among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like You.

vw@Jeremiah:10:8 @ But they are, every one of them, dull-hearted and foolish; a piece of wood is a discipline in vanities.

vw@Jeremiah:10:9 @ Silver beaten into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the craftsman, and of the hands of the goldsmith. Violet and purple is their clothing; they are all the work of skillful ones.

vw@Jeremiah:10:10 @ But Jehovah is the true God, He is the living God, and the eternal King. At His wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to endure His indignation.

vw@Jeremiah:10:11 @ So you shall say to them, The gods who have not made the heavens and the earth, they shall perish from the earth and from under these heavens.

vw@Jeremiah:10:12 @ He has made the earth by His power; He has established the world by His wisdom, and has stretched out the heavens by His understanding.

vw@Jeremiah:10:13 @ When He utters His voice, there is the noise of much water in the heavens. He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; He makes lightnings with the rain, and brings forth the wind out of His treasures.

vw@Jeremiah:10:14 @ Every man is stupid in his knowledge; every refiner is dried up by the graven image; for his molten image is a lie, and no breath is in them.

vw@Jeremiah:10:15 @ They are vanity, the work of delusion; in the time of their judgment they shall perish.

vw@Jeremiah:10:16 @ The Portion of Jacob is not like them; for He is the Maker of all things; and Israel is the rod of His inheritance. Jehovah of Hosts is His name.

vw@Jeremiah:10:18 @ For thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land this once, and will distress them, so that they may find Me.

vw@Jeremiah:10:19 @ Woe to me for my ruin! My wound makes me sick. But I said, Surely this is an infirmity, and I must bear it.

vw@Jeremiah:10:20 @ My tent is plundered, and all my cords are broken; my children have gone away from me, and they are not. There is no one to stretch out my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.

vw@Jeremiah:10:23 @ O Jehovah, I know that the way of man is not in himself; it is not in man who walks to direct his own steps.

vw@Jeremiah:10:25 @ Pour out Your fury on the nations who do not know You, and on the families who do not call on Your name; for they have eaten up Jacob and have devoured him, and have destroyed him, and have made his dwelling place desolate.

vw@Jeremiah:11:2 @ Hear the words of this covenant, and speak to the men of Judah and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem,

vw@Jeremiah:11:3 @ and say to them, Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant,

vw@Jeremiah:11:5 @ so that I may fulfill the oath which I have sworn to your fathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then I answered and said, Amen, O Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:11:6 @ Then Jehovah said to me, Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Hear the words of this covenant, and do them.

vw@Jeremiah:11:7 @ For I admonished and testified to your fathers in the day that I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, until this day, rising early and exhorting, saying, Obey My voice.

vw@Jeremiah:11:8 @ Yet they did not obey nor extend their ear, but walked each one in the stubbornness of his evil heart. Therefore I will bring upon them all the words of this covenant, which I commanded them to do; but they did not do them.

vw@Jeremiah:11:9 @ And Jehovah said to me, A conspiracy is found among the men of Judah, and among the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

vw@Jeremiah:11:10 @ They have turned back to the iniquities of their forefathers, who refused to hear My Words. And they went after other gods, to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken My covenant which I made with their fathers.

vw@Jeremiah:11:11 @ Therefore Jehovah says this: Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry to Me, I will not listen to them.

vw@Jeremiah:11:14 @ Therefore, do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will not hear them in the time that they cry out to Me because of their trouble.

vw@Jeremiah:11:15 @ What is My beloved doing in My house, since she has worked out many evil devices? Has the holy flesh taken away your evil from you? How then do you rejoice?

vw@Jeremiah:11:17 @ For Jehovah of Hosts who planted you has pronounced evil against you, for the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done against themselves to provoke Me to anger by offering incense to Baal.

vw@Jeremiah:11:19 @ But I was like a docile lamb being led to the slaughter. And I did not know that they had devised schemes against me, saying, Let us destroy the tree with its fruit, and let us cut him off from the land of the living, so that his name may be remembered no more.

vw@Jeremiah:11:22 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, Behold, I will punish them. The young men shall die by the sword; their sons and their daughters shall die by famine;

vw@Jeremiah:11:23 @ and there shall be no remnant of them. For I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the year of their punishment.

vw@Jeremiah:12:8 @ My inheritance is to Me as a lion in the forest; it cries out against Me; therefore I have hated it.

vw@Jeremiah:12:9 @ My inheritance is like a speckled bird to Me; the birds all around are against her. Go, gather all the beasts of the field, bring them to devour.

vw@Jeremiah:12:11 @ They have made it a desolation. Being desolate, it mourns to Me. The whole land is made desolate because no man lays it to heart.

vw@Jeremiah:12:14 @ Thus says Jehovah against all My evil neighbors who touch the inheritance which I have caused My people Israel to inherit: Behold, I will pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the house of Judah from among them.

vw@Jeremiah:12:15 @ And it shall be, after I have plucked them out, that I will return and have compassion on them, and will bring them back, each man to his inheritance and each man to his land.

vw@Jeremiah:12:16 @ And it shall be, if they will carefully learn the ways of My people, to swear by My name, As Jehovah lives (as they taught the people to swear by Baal), then they shall be established in the midst of My people.

vw@Jeremiah:13:1 @ Thus Jehovah said to me, Go and buy for yourself a linen waistband, and put it around your waist, and do not put it in water.

vw@Jeremiah:13:2 @ So I bought a waistband according to the Word of Jehovah, and put it around my waist.

vw@Jeremiah:13:4 @ Take the waistband that you bought, which is around your waist, and arise. Go to Euphrates, and hide it there in a hole of the rock.

vw@Jeremiah:13:6 @ And it came to pass at the end of many days that Jehovah said to me, Arise, go to the Euphrates and take the waistband from there, which I commanded you to hide there.

vw@Jeremiah:13:7 @ Then I went to the Euphrates and dug, and took the waistband from the place where I had hidden it. And, behold, the waistband was rotten; it was good for nothing.

vw@Jeremiah:13:9 @ Thus says Jehovah, In this way I will spoil the pride of Judah and the great pride of Jerusalem.

vw@Jeremiah:13:10 @ This evil people, who refuse to hear My Words, who walk in the stubbornness of their heart and walk after other gods to serve them and to bow down to them, shall even be like this waistband, which is good for nothing.

vw@Jeremiah:13:11 @ For as the waistband clings to the waist of a man, so I have caused the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah to cling to Me, says Jehovah; so that they might be a people unto Me, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a glory; but they would not hear.

vw@Jeremiah:13:12 @ So you shall speak to them this Word: Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, Every bottle shall be filled with wine. And they shall say to you, Do we not perceive to know that every bottle shall be filled with wine?

vw@Jeremiah:13:13 @ Then you shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this land, even the kings that sit on David’s throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, with drunkenness.

vw@Jeremiah:13:17 @ But if you will not hear it, my soul shall weep in secret places for your pride; and my eye shall weep and cry and run down with tears, because Jehovah’s flock is taken captive.

vw@Jeremiah:13:19 @ The cities of the south have been shut up, and no one is opening; Judah has been exiled, all of it has been completely carried away captive.

vw@Jeremiah:13:20 @ Lift up your eyes and look at those who come from the north. Where is the flock that was given to you, your beautiful sheep?

vw@Jeremiah:13:21 @ What will you say when he punishes you? For you have taught them to be chief rulers over you. Do not pangs seize you, like a woman in travail?

vw@Jeremiah:13:22 @ And if you say in your heart, Why have these things come upon me? It is because of the greatness of your iniquity; your skirts have been uncovered, and your heels have suffered violence.

vw@Jeremiah:13:23 @ Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard its spots? Then you also may do good, who are accustomed to doing evil.

vw@Jeremiah:13:25 @ This is your lot, the portion I have measured to you, says Jehovah, because you have forgotten Me and trusted in falsehood.

vw@Jeremiah:14:2 @ Judah mourns, and its gates languish. They mourn for the land, and the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.

vw@Jeremiah:14:3 @ And their nobles have sent their little ones for water; they came to the cisterns, and found no water. They returned with their vessels empty; they were ashamed and confounded, and covered their heads.

vw@Jeremiah:14:4 @ Because the ground is parched, for there was no rain on the earth, the plowmen were ashamed; they covered their heads.

vw@Jeremiah:14:8 @ O the Hope of Israel, its Savior in time of trouble, why should You be like a sojourner in the land, and like a traveler who turns aside to lodge for the night?

vw@Jeremiah:14:9 @ Why should You be like a man astonished, as a mighty one who cannot save? Yet You, O Jehovah, are in our midst, and we are called by Your name. Do not leave us!

vw@Jeremiah:14:10 @ Thus says Jehovah to this people: Thus they have loved to wander; they have not restrained their feet; therefore Jehovah does not accept them. He will now remember their iniquity and punish their sins.

vw@Jeremiah:14:11 @ Then Jehovah said to me, Do not pray for this people for their good.

vw@Jeremiah:14:13 @ Then I said, Ah, O Lord Jehovah! Behold, the prophets are saying to them, You shall not see the sword, nor shall you have famine; but I will give you sure peace in this place.

vw@Jeremiah:14:14 @ And Jehovah said to me, The prophets prophesy lies in My name; I did not send them, nor have I commanded them, nor did I speak to them. They prophesy to you a false vision and a worthless divination, and a thing of no value, and the deceit of their heart.

vw@Jeremiah:14:15 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah concerning the prophets who prophesy in My name, when I did not send them (yet they say, Sword and famine shall not be in this land): by sword and famine those prophets shall be consumed.

vw@Jeremiah:14:17 @ Therefore you shall speak this word to them: Let my eyes run down with tears night and day, and do not let them cease. For the virgin daughter of my people is broken with a great break, with a sickening blow.

vw@Jeremiah:14:19 @ Have You utterly rejected Judah? Has Your soul loathed Zion? Why have You stricken us such that there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but no good came; and for the time of healing, and behold, terror!

vw@Jeremiah:14:21 @ Do not abhor us; for Your name’s sake do not disgrace the throne of Your glory; remember, do not break Your covenant with us.

vw@Jeremiah:14:22 @ Are there any among the vain idols of the nations who can make it rain? Or can the heavens give showers? Is it not You, O Jehovah our God. Therefore we will wait upon You; for You have made all these things.

vw@Jeremiah:15:1 @ Then Jehovah said to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before Me, My soul could not be inclined toward this people. Send them out of My sight, and let them go out.

vw@Jeremiah:15:8 @ Their widows are more numerous around Me than the sand of the seas; I have brought on them, against a mother of a young man, a plunderer at noonday; I have caused anguish and terror to fall suddenly upon the city.

vw@Jeremiah:15:9 @ She who bore seven languishes; she has breathed out her life; her sun has gone down while it was yet day. She has been ashamed and confounded; and I will deliver the rest of them to the sword before their enemies, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:15:10 @ Woe is me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither loaned with usury, nor have men loaned to me; yet every one curses me.

vw@Jeremiah:15:15 @ O Jehovah, You know; remember me and visit me, and take vengeance for me on those who persecute me. In Your long-suffering do not take me away; know that for Your sake I have suffered rebuke.

vw@Jeremiah:15:20 @ And I will make you to this people a fortified wall of bronze; and they shall fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and to deliver you, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:16:2 @ You shall not take a wife for yourself, nor shall you have sons or daughters in this place.

vw@Jeremiah:16:3 @ For thus says Jehovah concerning the sons and concerning the daughters who are born in this place, and concerning their mothers who bore them, and concerning their fathers who begot them in this land:

vw@Jeremiah:16:4 @ They shall die from deaths of diseases; they shall not be mourned, nor shall they be buried. But they shall be as dung on the face of the earth. They shall be destroyed by the sword and by famine; and their carcasses shall be food for the birds of the heavens and for the beasts of the earth.

vw@Jeremiah:16:5 @ For thus says Jehovah, Do not enter into the house of mourning; do not go to weep nor bemoan them. For I have taken away My peace from this people, says Jehovah, even lovingkindness and mercies.

vw@Jeremiah:16:6 @ Both the great and the small shall die in this land. They shall not be buried, nor shall men mourn for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them.

vw@Jeremiah:16:9 @ For thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will cause the voice of mirth to cease out of this place before your eyes, and in your days, and the voice of gladness, and the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride.

vw@Jeremiah:16:10 @ And it shall be, when you proclaim to this people all these words, and they shall say to you, Why has Jehovah pronounced all this great evil against us? Or what is our iniquity, or what is our sin that we have sinned against Jehovah our God?

vw@Jeremiah:16:12 @ And you have done worse than your fathers; for behold, you walk, each one, after the stubbornness of his evil heart, and do not listen to Me.

vw@Jeremiah:16:13 @ Therefore I will cast you out of this land into a land that you do not know, neither you nor your fathers; and there you shall serve other gods day and night; where I will not grant you favor.

vw@Jeremiah:16:14 @ Therefore behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that it shall no more be said, As Jehovah lives, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;

vw@Jeremiah:16:15 @ but rather, As Jehovah lives, who brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands where He had driven them. For I will bring them back into their land that I gave to their fathers.

vw@Jeremiah:16:16 @ Behold, I will send for many fishermen, says Jehovah, and they will fish for them. And afterwards I will send for many hunters, and they will hunt them from every mountain and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.

vw@Jeremiah:16:17 @ For My eyes are on all their ways; they are not hidden from My face, nor is their iniquity hidden from My eyes.

vw@Jeremiah:16:19 @ O Jehovah, my strength and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the nations shall come to You from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.

vw@Jeremiah:16:21 @ Therefore behold, this once I will make them know; I will cause them to know My hand and My might; and they shall know that My name is Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:17:1 @ The sin of Judah is written with an iron stylus; it is engraved on the tablet of the heart and on the horns of Your altar with the point of a diamond;

vw@Jeremiah:17:5 @ Thus says Jehovah, Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his strength, and whose heart departs from Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:17:6 @ For he shall be destitute in the wilderness, and shall not see when good comes. But he shall live in the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land that is not inhabited.

vw@Jeremiah:17:7 @ Blessed is the man who trusts in Jehovah, and Jehovah is his refuge.

vw@Jeremiah:17:8 @ For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters; it sends out its roots by the river, and it shall not fear when the heat comes, but its foliage shall be green; and he is not anxious in the year of drought, nor will it cease from yielding fruit.

vw@Jeremiah:17:9 @ The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; who can know it?

vw@Jeremiah:17:10 @ I Jehovah search the heart, I examine the soul, even to give to each man according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.

vw@Jeremiah:17:11 @ The partridge sets on eggs and does not hatch them; in the same way he who gets riches, and not by right, shall leave them in the middle of his days, and at his end he shall be a fool.

vw@Jeremiah:17:12 @ A glorious high throne from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.

vw@Jeremiah:17:13 @ O Jehovah, the Hope of Israel, all who forsake You shall be ashamed. Those who depart from Me shall be written in the earth, because they have forsaken Jehovah, the Fountain of Living Waters.

vw@Jeremiah:17:14 @ Heal me, O Jehovah, and I shall be healed, save me, and I shall be saved; for You are my praise.

vw@Jeremiah:17:15 @ Behold, they say to me, Where is the Word of Jehovah? Let it come now!

vw@Jeremiah:17:18 @ Let those who persecute me be ashamed, but do not let me be put to shame; let them be dismayed, but do not let me be dismayed. Bring upon them the day of evil, and destroy them with double destruction.

vw@Jeremiah:17:24 @ And it shall be, if you listen and give heed to Me, says Jehovah, to bring no burden through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, but consecrate the Sabbath day, to do no work in it;

vw@Jeremiah:17:25 @ then kings and rulers sitting on the throne of David shall enter the gates of this city, riding in chariots and on horses, they, and their rulers, the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And this city shall remain forever.

vw@Jeremiah:17:26 @ And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the valleys, and from the mountains, and from the south, bringing burnt offerings, and sacrifices, and grain offerings, and incense, and bringing sacrifices of praise to the house of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:17:27 @ But if you will not listen to me to consecrate the Sabbath day, to not carry a burden when entering at the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day; then I will kindle a fire in its gates, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.

vw@Jeremiah:18:2 @ Arise and go down to the potter’s house, and there I will cause you to hear My Words.

vw@Jeremiah:18:6 @ O house of Israel, can I not do with you as this potter? says Jehovah. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hands, so are you in My hand, O house of Israel.

vw@Jeremiah:18:11 @ Now then, go speak to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I am forming evil against you, and devising a plan against you. Return now, each one from his evil way, and make your ways and your doings good.

vw@Jeremiah:18:12 @ And they said, There is no hope; but we will walk after our own thoughts, and we will each one do according to the stubbornness of his evil heart.

vw@Jeremiah:18:13 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah, Ask now among the nations; who has heard the likes of this? The virgin of Israel has done a very horrible thing.

vw@Jeremiah:18:16 @ to make their land desolate and a perpetual hissing. Everyone who passes by will be appalled, and will wag his head.

vw@Jeremiah:18:18 @ Then they said, Come and let us devise schemes against Jeremiah. For the Law shall not perish from the priest, nor wisdom from the wise, nor the Word from the prophet. Come and let us strike him with the tongue, and let us not pay attention to any of his words.

vw@Jeremiah:19:2 @ And go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom which is by the entry of Potsherd Gate. And there proclaim the words that I shall tell you.

vw@Jeremiah:19:3 @ And say, Hear the Word of Jehovah, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, which shall cause the ears of him who hears it to tingle,

vw@Jeremiah:19:4 @ because they have forsaken Me, and have given regard to this place and have burned incense in it to other gods whom neither they nor their fathers have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled this place with the blood of innocents.

vw@Jeremiah:19:6 @ Therefore behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that this place shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but The Valley of Slaughter.

vw@Jeremiah:19:7 @ And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place, and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hands of those who seek their lives. And I will give their corpses as food for the birds of the heavens, and for the beasts of the earth.

vw@Jeremiah:19:8 @ And I will make this city a desolation and a hissing. Everyone who passes by shall be amazed and shall hiss because of all its plagues.

vw@Jeremiah:19:9 @ And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall each one eat the flesh of his friend in the siege and distress with which their enemies and those who seek their lives shall distress them.

vw@Jeremiah:19:11 @ and shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, Even so I will break this people and this city, as one breaks a potter’s vessel, that cannot be made whole again. And they shall bury them in Tophet until there is no place left to bury.

vw@Jeremiah:19:12 @ I will do this to this place, says Jehovah, and to its inhabitants, and make this city as Tophet.

vw@Jeremiah:19:15 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will bring on this city and on all its towns all the evil that I have spoken against it, because they have hardened their necks so that they might not hear My Words.

vw@Jeremiah:20:3 @ And it happened on the next day that Pashur brought Jeremiah out of the stocks. Then Jeremiah said to him, Jehovah has not called your name Pashur, but Magor-Missabib.

vw@Jeremiah:20:5 @ And I will give all the wealth of this city, and its produce, and all its precious things, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah will I give into the hand of their enemies; who will plunder them and take them, and bring them to Babylon.

vw@Jeremiah:20:7 @ O Jehovah, You have deceived me, and I was deceived. You are stronger than I, and You have prevailed. I am in derision all the day; everyone mocks me.

vw@Jeremiah:20:8 @ For whenever I speak, I cry out, I cry violence and devastation; for the Word of Jehovah has been a reproach and a derision to me all the day.

vw@Jeremiah:20:9 @ Then I said, I will not make mention of Him, nor speak in His name any more. But His Word was in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with holding it in, and I could not.

vw@Jeremiah:20:10 @ For I have heard the whisperings of many, terror is all around. Proclaim, they say, and we will report it. Everyone at peace with me is watching for me to stumble and fall, saying, Perhaps he will be lured away, and we shall prevail against him, and shall take our revenge on him.

vw@Jeremiah:20:11 @ But Jehovah is with me like a mighty, awesome one. Therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail. They shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not succeed. Their everlasting reproach shall never be forgotten.

vw@Jeremiah:20:13 @ Sing to Jehovah! Praise Jehovah! For He has delivered the soul of the poor from the hand of evildoers.

vw@Jeremiah:21:2 @ Please inquire of Jehovah for us, for Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon is warring against us. Perhaps Jehovah will deal with us according to all His wonderful works, that he may depart from us.

vw@Jeremiah:21:4 @ Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: Behold, I will turn back the weapons of war that are in your hands, with which you fight against the king of Babylon, and against the Chaldeans who besiege you outside the walls. And I will gather them together in the middle of this city.

vw@Jeremiah:21:6 @ And I will strike the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast. They shall die of a great pestilence.

vw@Jeremiah:21:7 @ And afterward, says Jehovah, I will deliver Zedekiah king of Judah, and his servants, and the people, and those who are left in this city from the pestilence, from the sword, and from the famine, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand of those who seek their life. And he shall strike them with the edge of the sword; he shall not spare them, nor have pity, nor have mercy.

vw@Jeremiah:21:8 @ And to this people you shall say, Thus says Jehovah, Behold, I set before you the way of life and the way of death.

vw@Jeremiah:21:9 @ He who remains in this city shall die by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence. But he who goes out and prostrates himself to the Chaldeans who besiege you, he shall live, and his life shall be his prize.

vw@Jeremiah:21:10 @ For I have set My face against this city for evil, and not for good, says Jehovah. It shall be given into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall burn it with fire.

vw@Jeremiah:21:12 @ O house of David, thus says Jehovah: Execute justice in the morning, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor, lest My fury go forth like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil of your doings.

vw@Jeremiah:21:14 @ But I will punish you according to the fruit of your doings, says Jehovah; and I will kindle a fire in its forest, and it shall devour all things around it.

vw@Jeremiah:22:3 @ Thus says Jehovah, Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is plundered out of the hand of the oppressor. And do no wrong, do no violence to the sojourner, the fatherless, or the widow, nor shed innocent blood in this place.

vw@Jeremiah:22:4 @ For if indeed you do this thing, then there shall enter in by the gates of this house kings sitting on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, he, his servants, and his people.

vw@Jeremiah:22:5 @ But if you will not heed these Words, I swear by Myself, says Jehovah, that this house shall become a desolation.

vw@Jeremiah:22:7 @ And I will prepare destroyers against you, each one with his weapons. And they shall cut down your choice cedars, and throw them into the fire.

vw@Jeremiah:22:8 @ And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say each one to his neighbor, Why has Jehovah done this to this great city?

vw@Jeremiah:22:10 @ Weep not for the dead, nor moan for him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away. For he shall return no more, nor see his native land.

vw@Jeremiah:22:11 @ For thus says Jehovah concerning Shallum the son of Josiah king of Judah, who reigned in the place of Josiah his father, who went forth out of this place: he shall not return there any more.

vw@Jeremiah:22:12 @ But he shall die in the place where they have led him captive, and shall see this land no more.

vw@Jeremiah:22:13 @ Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness and his upper rooms without justice; his neighbor serves without pay, and is given nothing for his work;

vw@Jeremiah:22:14 @ who says, I will build myself a wide house and large rooms, and has cut out windows for himself, and the ceiling is paneled with cedar, and painted with vermilion.

vw@Jeremiah:22:16 @ He judged the cause of the poor and needy; then it was well with him. Was this not knowledge of Me? says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:22:18 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, They shall not mourn for him, saying, Alas, my brother! or, Alas, sister! They shall not mourn for him, saying, Alas, master! or, Alas, his majesty!

vw@Jeremiah:22:21 @ I spoke to you in your prosperity; but you said, I will not hear. This has been your way from your youth, for you have not obeyed My voice.

vw@Jeremiah:22:28 @ Is this man Coniah a despised and broken vessel? Is he an object in which there is no pleasure? Why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they do not know?

vw@Jeremiah:22:30 @ Thus says Jehovah, Write this man down as childless, a man who shall not prosper in his days; for no man of his seed shall succeed, sitting on the throne of David and ruling any more in Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:2 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, against the shepherds who feed My people, You have scattered My flock, and have driven them away, and have not attended to them. Behold, I will attend to you for the evil of your doings, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:4 @ And I will set up shepherds over them who will feed them. And they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed; nor shall they be lacking, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:5 @ Behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that I will raise unto David a righteous Branch, and a King who shall reign and act prudently, and shall execute justice and righteousness in the earth.

vw@Jeremiah:23:6 @ In His days Judah shall be saved, and Israel shall dwell safely. And this is His name by which He shall be called, JEHOVAH, OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS.

vw@Jeremiah:23:7 @ Therefore, behold, the days come, says Jehovah, that they shall no longer say, Jehovah lives, who brought the sons of Israel up out of the land of Egypt;

vw@Jeremiah:23:8 @ but, Jehovah lives, who brought up and led the seed of the house of Israel out of the land of the north, and from all lands where I have driven them. And they shall dwell in their own land.

vw@Jeremiah:23:9 @ My heart within me is broken because of the prophets; all my bones shake. I am like a drunken man, and like a man whom wine has overcome, because of Jehovah, and because of the Words of His holiness.

vw@Jeremiah:23:10 @ For the land is full of adulterers. Yes, because of cursing the land mourns; the pleasant places of the wilderness are dried up, and their course is evil, and their strength is not right.

vw@Jeremiah:23:12 @ So their way shall be to them as slippery ways in the darkness; they shall be driven on, and fall in them; for I will bring evil upon them, even the year of their punishment, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:13 @ And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied by Baal and caused My people Israel to go astray.

vw@Jeremiah:23:14 @ I have also seen in the prophets of Jerusalem a horrible thing; they commit adultery and walk in falsehood. They also strengthen the hands of evildoers, so that no one turns back from his evil; they are all of them like Sodom to Me, and its inhabitants like Gomorrah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:16 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, Do not listen to the words of the prophets who prophesy to you. They fill you with vanities; they speak a vision from their own heart, not out of the mouth of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:17 @ They speak to those who despise Me, promising, Jehovah has said, You shall have peace! And they say to everyone who walks after the stubbornness of his own heart, No evil shall come upon you!

vw@Jeremiah:23:20 @ The anger of Jehovah shall not turn back, until He has executed and until He has fulfilled the purposes of His heart; in the latter days you shall diligently consider it with understanding.

vw@Jeremiah:23:26 @ How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets who prophesy lies? Indeed, they are prophets of the deceit of their own heart,

vw@Jeremiah:23:27 @ who think to cause My people to forget My name by their dreams which they tell, each one to his neighbor, as their fathers have forgotten My name for Baal.

vw@Jeremiah:23:28 @ The prophet who has a dream, let him tell a dream. And he who has My Word, let him speak My Word faithfully. What is the chaff to the wheat? says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:29 @ Is not My Word like a fire? says Jehovah; and like a hammer that breaks the rock in pieces?

vw@Jeremiah:23:30 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah, Behold, I am against the prophets who steal My Words each one from his neighbor.

vw@Jeremiah:23:32 @ Jehovah says, Behold, I am against those who prophesy false dreams and tell them, and cause My people to go astray by their lies and by their foolishness. Yet I did not send them nor command them; therefore they shall not profit this people at all, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:33 @ And when this people, or the prophet, or a priest, shall ask you, saying, What is the burden of Jehovah? You shall then say to them, What burden? I will even forsake you, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:23:34 @ And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people, who shall say, The burden of Jehovah! I will even punish that man and his house.

vw@Jeremiah:23:35 @ And you shall say each one to his neighbor, and each one to his brother, What has Jehovah answered? and, What has Jehovah spoken?

vw@Jeremiah:23:36 @ And you shall mention the burden of Jehovah no more. For every man’s word shall be his burden; for you have perverted the Words of the living God, of Jehovah of Hosts our God.

vw@Jeremiah:23:38 @ But since you say, The burden of Jehovah! therefore thus says Jehovah, Because you say this word (The burden of Jehovah), and I have sent to you saying, You shall not say, The burden of Jehovah;

vw@Jeremiah:24:5 @ Thus says Jehovah the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so I will acknowledge the captives of Judah, whom I have sent out of this place into the land of the Chaldeans for good.

vw@Jeremiah:24:6 @ For I will set My eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land. And I will build them and not pull them down; and I will plant them and not pluck them up.

vw@Jeremiah:24:8 @ And like the bad figs, which cannot be eaten, they are so bad; surely thus says Jehovah, Thus I will give up Zedekiah the king of Judah, and his rulers, and the rest of Jerusalem who remain in this land, and those who dwell in the land of Egypt;

vw@Jeremiah:25:3 @ From the thirteenth year of Josiah the son of Amon king of Judah, even to this day, which is the twenty-third year, the Word of Jehovah has come unto me; and I have spoken to you, rising early and speaking; but you have not listened.

vw@Jeremiah:25:5 @ They said, Turn back now, each one from his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and dwell in the land that Jehovah has given to you and to your fathers forever and ever.

vw@Jeremiah:25:7 @ Yet you have not listened to Me, says Jehovah, so that you might provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands, to your own hurt.

vw@Jeremiah:25:9 @ behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, says Jehovah, and Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, My servant, and will bring them against this land, and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations all around. And I will completely destroy them, and make them a waste, and a hissing, and perpetual ruins.

vw@Jeremiah:25:11 @ And this whole land shall be a ruin and a waste. And these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

vw@Jeremiah:25:12 @ And it shall come to pass, when seventy years are fulfilled, that I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, and the land of the Chaldeans for their iniquity, says Jehovah; and I will make it a perpetual desolation.

vw@Jeremiah:25:13 @ And I will bring on that land all My Words which I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.

vw@Jeremiah:25:15 @ For thus says Jehovah the God of Israel to me, Take the wine cup of this wrath from My hand, and cause all the nations to whom I send you to drink it.

vw@Jeremiah:25:18 @ Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, their kings and their rulers, to make them a desolation, a horror, a hissing, and a curse, as it is this day;

vw@Jeremiah:25:20 @ and all the people mixed together, and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon, and Azzah, and Ekron, and the rest of Ashdod;

vw@Jeremiah:25:27 @ Therefore you shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Drink and be drunk, and vomit, and fall and rise no more, because of the sword which I will send among you.

vw@Jeremiah:25:29 @ For, lo, I am beginning to bring evil on the city which is called by My name; and should you be found clean and free from guilt? You shall not be without guilt, for I will call for a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, says Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Jeremiah:25:30 @ Therefore prophesy against them all these Words, and say to them, Jehovah shall roar from on high, and utter His voice from His holy habitation. He shall mightily roar over His dwelling place. He shall give a shout, like those who tread out grapes, against all the inhabitants of the earth.

vw@Jeremiah:25:31 @ A roaring noise shall come to the ends of the earth; for Jehovah has a controversy with the nations; He will enter into judgment with all flesh. He will give those who are wicked to the sword, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:25:38 @ He has left His den like a lion; for their land is wasted at the presence of His fierce violence, and before His fierce anger.

vw@Jeremiah:26:1 @ In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this Word came from Jehovah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:26:2 @ Thus says Jehovah: Stand in the court of Jehovah’s house and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to bow down in Jehovah’s house, all the Words that I command you to speak to them; do not diminish a word.

vw@Jeremiah:26:3 @ It may be that they will listen, and each man turn from his evil way, that I may be moved to compassion from the evil which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.

vw@Jeremiah:26:5 @ to listen to the words of My servants the prophets whom I sent to you, both rising up early and sending them (but you have not listened);

vw@Jeremiah:26:9 @ Why have you prophesied in the name of Jehovah, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be wasted, without inhabitant? And all the people were gathered against Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:26:11 @ And the priests and the prophets spoke to the rulers and to all the people, saying, Sentence this man to death, for he has prophesied against this city, as you have heard with your ears.

vw@Jeremiah:26:12 @ Then Jeremiah spoke to all the rulers and to all the people, saying, Jehovah sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that you have heard.

vw@Jeremiah:26:15 @ But know for certain that if you put me to death, you shall surely bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon its inhabitants; for truly Jehovah has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.

vw@Jeremiah:26:16 @ Then the rulers and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets, This man is not worthy of death; for he has spoken to us in the name of Jehovah our God.

vw@Jeremiah:26:20 @ And there was also a man who prophesied in the name of Jehovah, Urijah the son of Shemaiah of Kirjath Jearim, who prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.

vw@Jeremiah:26:21 @ And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men and all the rulers, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death. But when Urijah heard it, he was afraid, and fled and went into Egypt.

vw@Jeremiah:26:23 @ And they brought Urijah out of Egypt and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who killed him with the sword and threw his dead body into the graves of the common people.

vw@Jeremiah:27:1 @ In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, this Word came to Jeremiah from Jehovah, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:27:7 @ And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, until the time of his land comes. And then many nations and great kings shall make him serve them.

vw@Jeremiah:27:8 @ And it shall be, that the nation and kingdom which will not serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, that nation I will punish, says Jehovah, with the sword and with the famine, and with the pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.

vw@Jeremiah:27:9 @ Therefore, do not listen to your prophets, nor to your fortune tellers, nor to your dreamers, nor to your conjurers, nor to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon.

vw@Jeremiah:27:10 @ For they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, and that I should drive you out and you should perish.

vw@Jeremiah:27:12 @ I also spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.

vw@Jeremiah:27:14 @ Therefore do not listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, You shall not serve the king of Babylon. For they prophesy a lie to you.

vw@Jeremiah:27:15 @ For I have not sent them, says Jehovah; yet they prophesy a lie in My name, so that I might drive you out, and that you might perish, you and the prophets who prophesy to you.

vw@Jeremiah:27:16 @ Also I spoke to the priests and to all the people, saying, Thus says Jehovah, Do not listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of Jehovah’s house shall now shortly be brought back from Babylon; for they prophesy a lie to you.

vw@Jeremiah:27:17 @ Do not listen to them; serve the king of Babylon and live. For why should this city be laid waste?

vw@Jeremiah:27:21 @ yes, thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain in the house of Jehovah and in the house of the king of Judah and of Jerusalem:

vw@Jeremiah:27:22 @ They shall be carried to Babylon, and they shall be there until the day that I visit them, says Jehovah. Then I will bring them up and restore them to this place.

vw@Jeremiah:28:3 @ Within two full years I will bring back into this place all the vessels of Jehovah’s house, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this place and carried them to Babylon.

vw@Jeremiah:28:4 @ And I will bring back to this place Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the captives of Judah who went into Babylon, says Jehovah; for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.

vw@Jeremiah:28:6 @ even the prophet Jeremiah said, Amen. May Jehovah do so. May Jehovah establish your words which you have prophesied, to bring back the vessels of Jehovah’s house, and all that is carried away captive, from Babylon into this place.

vw@Jeremiah:28:7 @ But hear now this word that I speak in your ears and in the ears of all the people:

vw@Jeremiah:28:11 @ And Hananiah spoke in the presence of all the people, saying, Thus says Jehovah, Even so I will break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon from the neck of all nations within the time frame of two full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way.

vw@Jeremiah:28:14 @ For thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, I have put a yoke of iron on the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. And they shall serve him. And I have given him the beasts of the field also.

vw@Jeremiah:28:15 @ Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, Hear now, Hananiah: Jehovah has not sent you, but you make this people to trust in a lie.

vw@Jeremiah:28:16 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will drive you from off the face of the earth. You shall die this year, because you have taught rebellion against Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:29:4 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, to all the captives whom I caused to be taken captive from Jerusalem to Babylon:

vw@Jeremiah:29:6 @ Take wives and beget sons and daughters. And take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may bear sons and daughters, that you may be multiplied there and not diminished.

vw@Jeremiah:29:8 @ For thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your fortune-tellers in your midst deceive you, nor listen to your dreams which you dream.

vw@Jeremiah:29:10 @ For thus says Jehovah, When according to My Word seventy years have been fulfilled at Babylon, I will visit you and carry out My good Word to you, to bring you back to this place.

vw@Jeremiah:29:12 @ Then you shall call on Me, and you shall go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.

vw@Jeremiah:29:16 @ thus says Jehovah concerning the king who sits on the throne of David, and concerning all the people who dwell in this city, and concerning your brothers who have not gone out with you into captivity;

vw@Jeremiah:29:18 @ And I will pursue them with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, and will make them objects of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse, and a waste, and a hissing, and a reproach among all the nations where I have driven them,

vw@Jeremiah:29:19 @ because they have not heeded My Words, says Jehovah, which I sent to them by My servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them; but you would not obey, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:29:21 @ thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, concerning Ahab the son of Kolaiah and of Zedekiah the son of Maaseiah, who prophesy a lie to you in My name: Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall kill them before your eyes.

vw@Jeremiah:29:23 @ because they have done disgraceful things in Israel, and have committed adultery with their neighbors’ wives, and have spoken lying words in My name, which I have not commanded them; for I am He who knows and is a witness, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:29:25 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Because you have sent letters in your name to all the people who are at Jerusalem, and to Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, and to all the priests, saying,

vw@Jeremiah:29:26 @ Jehovah has made you priest instead of Jehoiada the priest, to be officers in the house of Jehovah over every madman who prophesies, that you should put him in prison and in the stocks.

vw@Jeremiah:29:28 @ For he has sent to us in Babylon, saying, This captivity is long. Build houses and live in them, and plant gardens and eat their fruit.

vw@Jeremiah:29:29 @ And Zephaniah the priest read this letter in the ears of Jeremiah the prophet.

vw@Jeremiah:29:32 @ therefore thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his seed. He shall not have a man to dwell among this people; nor shall he behold the good which I shall do for My people, says Jehovah, because he has taught rebellion against Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:30:2 @ Thus speaks Jehovah the God of Israel, saying, Write all the Words that I have spoken to you in a book.

vw@Jeremiah:30:3 @ For, lo, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that I will bring back the captives of My people Israel and Judah, says Jehovah. And I will cause them to return to the land that I gave their fathers, and they shall possess it.

vw@Jeremiah:30:4 @ And these are the Words that Jehovah spoke concerning Israel and concerning Judah.

vw@Jeremiah:30:6 @ Ask now, and see whether a man ever gives birth? Why do I see every man with his hands on his loins, like a woman in labor, and all faces are turned pale?

vw@Jeremiah:30:7 @ Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it; it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it.

vw@Jeremiah:30:8 @ For it shall come to pass in that day, says Jehovah of Hosts, that I will break his yoke from your neck and will burst your bonds. And strangers shall no longer enslave him,

vw@Jeremiah:30:9 @ but they shall serve Jehovah their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up unto them.

vw@Jeremiah:30:10 @ Therefore, do not fear, O My servant Jacob, says Jehovah. Do not be dismayed, O Israel. For lo, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity. And Jacob shall return, and shall be at rest, and be quiet, and no one shall make him afraid.

vw@Jeremiah:30:11 @ For I am with you, says Jehovah, to save you. Though I make a full end of all the nations where I have scattered you, yet I will not make a complete end of you; but I will correct you in justice, and will not acquit nor leave you unpunished.

vw@Jeremiah:30:12 @ For thus says Jehovah, Your break is incurable, and your wound is making you sick.

vw@Jeremiah:30:13 @ There is no one to plead your cause; for your wounds there are no healing medicines.

vw@Jeremiah:30:14 @ All your lovers have forgotten you; they do not seek you. For I have wounded you with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the abundance of your iniquity, because your sins are many.

vw@Jeremiah:30:15 @ Why do you cry over your break? Your pain is incurable, because of the abundance of your iniquities; because your sins have increased, I have done these things to you.

vw@Jeremiah:30:17 @ For I will stir up health to you, and will heal you of your wounds, says Jehovah; because they called you an outcast, saying, This is Zion; no one seeks after her.

vw@Jeremiah:30:18 @ Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I will bring back the captives of Jacob’s tents, and will have mercy on his dwelling places. And the city shall be built on her own hill, and the palace shall remain in its own place.

vw@Jeremiah:30:19 @ And out of them shall come forth thanksgiving, and the voice of those who make merry. And I will multiply them, and they shall not diminish; I will also glorify them, and they shall not be small.

vw@Jeremiah:30:21 @ And their rulers shall be from among themselves, and their governor shall come from their midst; and I will cause him to be brought near, and he shall draw near to Me. For who is this who pledged his heart to come near to Me? says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:30:24 @ The fierce anger of Jehovah shall not return until He has done it, and until He has fulfilled the purposes of His heart. In the latter days you shall understand it.

vw@Jeremiah:31:6 @ For there shall be a day that the watchmen on Mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise and let us go up to Zion unto Jehovah our God!

vw@Jeremiah:31:7 @ For thus says Jehovah, Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations. Cry out, give praise and say, O Jehovah, save Your people, the remnant of Israel!

vw@Jeremiah:31:8 @ Behold, I will bring them from the land of the north and gather them from the recesses of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and she who is in labor with child, together; a great company shall return there.

vw@Jeremiah:31:9 @ They shall come with weeping, and with supplications I will lead them. I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way; they shall not stumble in it, for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is My firstborn.

vw@Jeremiah:31:10 @ Hear the Word of Jehovah, O nations, and declare it on distant shores; and say, He who scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him as a shepherd keeps his flock.

And their souls shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not languish any more at all.

vw@Jeremiah:31:14 @ And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and My people shall be satisfied with My goodness, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:31:17 @ And there is hope for your future, says Jehovah, that your children shall come back to their own territory.

vw@Jeremiah:31:18 @ I have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself, saying, You have chastised me, and I was chastised, like an untrained bull; draw me back, and I shall return. For You are Jehovah my God.

vw@Jeremiah:31:20 @ Is Ephraim My dear son? Is he a delightful child? For as often as I spoke against him, I call to mind and remember him still. Therefore My heart is stirred for him; I will have mercy and compassion upon him, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:31:21 @ Set up signposts, make landmarks for yourself. Set your heart toward the highway, the way you went. Turn back, O virgin of Israel, turn back to these cities of yours.

vw@Jeremiah:31:23 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel, They shall speak this word in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I shall bring back their captives, saying, Jehovah bless you, O habitation of justice and mountain of holiness.

vw@Jeremiah:31:25 @ For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have satisfied every sorrowful soul.

vw@Jeremiah:31:26 @ After this I awoke and looked around; and my sleep was sweet to me.

vw@Jeremiah:31:27 @ Behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and with the seed of beasts.

vw@Jeremiah:31:30 @ But every man shall die for his own iniquity. Every man who eats the sour grapes, his teeth shall be dull.

vw@Jeremiah:31:31 @ Behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah,

vw@Jeremiah:31:33 @ But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel: After those days, says Jehovah, I will put My Law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and I will be their God, and they shall be My people.

vw@Jeremiah:31:34 @ And they shall no more teach each man his neighbor and each man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for they shall all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says Jehovah. For I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin I will remember no more.

vw@Jeremiah:31:35 @ Thus says Jehovah, who gives the sun for a light by day and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, who stirs up the sea when its waves roar (Jehovah of Hosts is His name);

vw@Jeremiah:31:36 @ if those ordinances depart from My presence, says Jehovah, then the seed of Israel shall also cease from being a nation before Me forever.

vw@Jeremiah:31:37 @ Thus says Jehovah, If the heavens above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth below can be searched out, then I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:32:3 @ For Zedekiah king of Judah had shut him up, saying, Why do you prophesy and say, Thus says Jehovah, Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall take it,

vw@Jeremiah:32:4 @ and Zedekiah king of Judah shall not escape out of the hand of the Chaldeans, but shall be given over and delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes shall behold his eyes,

vw@Jeremiah:32:5 @ and he shall lead Zedekiah into Babylon, and there he shall be until I visit him, says Jehovah; though you fight with the Chaldeans, you shall not succeed.

vw@Jeremiah:32:7 @ Behold, Hanamel the son of Shallum your uncle shall come to you, saying, Buy for yourself my field in Anathoth; for the right of redemption is yours, to buy it.

vw@Jeremiah:32:8 @ So Hanamel my uncle’s son came to me in the court of the guard according to the Word of Jehovah and said to me, Please buy my field in Anathoth, which is in the land of Benjamin; for the right of inheritance is yours, and the right of redemption is yours.

vw@Jeremiah:32:14 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Take these documents, the purchase document, the one sealed and the open document, and put them in an earthen vessel so that they may survive many days.

vw@Jeremiah:32:15 @ For thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: Houses and fields and vineyards shall be acquired again in this land.

vw@Jeremiah:32:19 @ great in counsel and mighty in work; for Your eyes are open to all the ways of the sons of men, to give every one according to his ways and according to the fruit of his doings.

vw@Jeremiah:32:20 @ For You have set signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, even to this day, and in Israel and among men; and have made Yourself a name, as it is this day;

vw@Jeremiah:32:21 @ and have brought forth Your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with signs and with wonders, and with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm, and with great terror.

vw@Jeremiah:32:23 @ And they came in and possessed it, but they have not obeyed Your voice, nor walked in Your Law. They have done nothing of all that You commanded them to do; therefore You have caused all this evil to come upon them.

vw@Jeremiah:32:27 @ Behold, I am Jehovah the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?

vw@Jeremiah:32:28 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah: Behold, I will give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and he shall take it.

vw@Jeremiah:32:29 @ And the Chaldeans who fight against this city shall come and set this city on fire, and burn it, with the houses on whose roofs they have offered incense to Baal and poured out drink offerings to other gods, to provoke Me to anger.

vw@Jeremiah:32:30 @ For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done only evil before Me from their youth. For the children of Israel have only provoked Me to anger with the work of their hands, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:32:31 @ For this city has been to Me a provocation of My anger and of My fury from the day that they built it, even to this day; that I should remove it from before My face,

vw@Jeremiah:32:32 @ because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to provoke Me to anger; they, their kings, their rulers, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

vw@Jeremiah:32:34 @ But they set their abominations in the house which is called by My name, to defile it.

vw@Jeremiah:32:35 @ And they built the high places of Baal, in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to cause their sons and their daughters to pass through the fire to Molech; which I did not command them, nor did it even enter My mind that they should do this abomination, to cause Judah to sin.

vw@Jeremiah:32:36 @ And now therefore, thus says Jehovah the God of Israel, concerning this city of which you say, It is given into the hand of the king of Babylon by the sword, and by the famine, and by the pestilence:

vw@Jeremiah:32:37 @ Behold, I will gather them out of all the lands where I have driven them in My anger, and in My fury, and in great wrath. And I will bring them back to this place, and I will cause them to dwell safely.

vw@Jeremiah:32:41 @ Yea, I will rejoice over them to do them good, and I will truly plant them in this land, with all My heart and all My soul.

vw@Jeremiah:32:42 @ For thus says Jehovah: Just as I have brought all this great evil upon this people, so I will bring upon them all the good that I have promised them.

vw@Jeremiah:46:27 @ But do not fear, O My servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel. For behold, I will save you from afar, and your seed from the land of their captivity. And Jacob shall return and have rest and be at ease, and no one shall make him afraid.

vw@Jeremiah:46:28 @ Do not fear, O Jacob My servant, says Jehovah, for I am with you. For I will make a full end of all the nations where I have driven you. But I will not make a complete end of you, but will correct you in justice; and I will not leave you acquitted nor unpunished.

vw@Jeremiah:48:2 @ No more praise of Moab. In Heshbon they have plotted evil against it, saying, Come and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also you shall be silenced, O madmen; the sword shall pursue you.

vw@Jeremiah:48:4 @ Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

vw@Jeremiah:48:7 @ For because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you shall also be captured. And Chemosh shall go into captivity along with his priests and his rulers.

vw@Jeremiah:48:10 @ Cursed is he who does the work of Jehovah deceitfully, and cursed is he who keeps back his sword from blood.

vw@Jeremiah:48:11 @ Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his dregs and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, nor has he gone into captivity. Therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent has not changed.

vw@Jeremiah:48:12 @ Therefore behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that I will send ones to lean him, tip him over, and empty his vessels, and shatter his jars.

vw@Jeremiah:48:25 @ The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:48:26 @ Make him drunk, for he magnified himself against Jehovah. Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be an object of derision.

vw@Jeremiah:48:27 @ For was not Israel an object of derision to you? Was he found among thieves? For ever since you spoke of him, you skipped for joy.

vw@Jeremiah:48:29 @ We have heard of the pride of Moab (he is exceedingly proud), his loftiness, and his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.

vw@Jeremiah:48:30 @ I know his wrath, says Jehovah, but it is not so; his boast, but they have not done it.

vw@Jeremiah:48:35 @ Moreover, I will put an end to him who offers in the high places in Moab, says Jehovah, who burns incense to his gods.

vw@Jeremiah:49:1 @ Thus says Jehovah to the sons of Ammon: Has Israel no sons? Or has he no heir? Why does their king inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities?

vw@Jeremiah:49:2 @ Therefore behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that I will cause a shout of war to be heard in Rabbah of the sons of Ammon. And it shall be a heap of ruins, and her daughter-villages shall be burned with fire. Then Israel shall take possession of his inheritance, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:49:17 @ Also Edom shall be an astonishment. Everyone who goes by it shall be appalled and shall hiss at all its plagues.

vw@Jeremiah:49:19 @ Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the dwelling of the strong. But I will suddenly make him run away from her. And who is a chosen one that I may appoint over her? For who is like Me? And who will summon Me? And who is that shepherd who will stand before Me?

vw@Jeremiah:49:22 @ Behold, he shall come up and fly like the eagle, and spread his wings over Bozrah. And in that day the heart of the mighty men of Edom shall be like the heart of a woman in birth pangs.

vw@Jeremiah:49:23 @ Concerning Damascus: Hamath and Arpad are put to shame, for they have heard bad news. Their hearts have melted; the sea is anxious; it cannot be quiet.

vw@Jeremiah:49:25 @ How has the city of praise not been deserted, the city of my joy!

vw@Jeremiah:49:28 @ Thus says Jehovah concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon shall strike: Arise, go up to Kedar, and plunder the men of the east.

vw@Jeremiah:50:13 @ Because of the wrath of Jehovah it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly a waste. Everyone who goes by Babylon shall be horrified and hiss at all her plagues.

vw@Jeremiah:50:15 @ Shout against her all around. She has given her hand; her foundations have fallen, her walls have been thrown down; for it is the vengeance of Jehovah. Take vengeance on her. As she has done, do unto her.

vw@Jeremiah:50:16 @ Cut off the sower from Babylon, and the one who handles the sickle in the time of harvest. For fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn, each one to his people; and they shall flee, each one to his own land.

vw@Jeremiah:50:17 @ Israel is like scattered sheep, driven away by lions. First the king of Assyria devoured him, and last this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon has crushed his bones.

vw@Jeremiah:50:19 @ And I will bring Israel back to his home, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied on Mount Ephraim and Gilead.

vw@Jeremiah:50:20 @ In those days, and at that time, says Jehovah, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and it shall not be found; and the sins of Judah, but they shall not be found; for I will pardon those whom I spare.

vw@Jeremiah:50:22 @ A sound of battle is in the land, and of great destruction.

vw@Jeremiah:50:23 @ How the hammer of the whole earth is chopped off and broken! How Babylon has become a desolation among the nations!

vw@Jeremiah:50:25 @ Jehovah has opened His armory, and has brought forth the weapons of His indignation. For this is the work of the Lord Jehovah of Hosts in the land of the Chaldeans.

vw@Jeremiah:50:27 @ Kill all her bulls; let them go down to the slaughter. Woe to them! For their day has come, the time of their punishment.

vw@Jeremiah:50:28 @ The voice of those who flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of Jehovah our God, the vengeance of His temple.

vw@Jeremiah:50:29 @ Summon the archers against Babylon. All you who bend the bow, camp against it all around; let none of them escape. Repay her according to her work; according to all that she has done, do to her. For she has been proud against Jehovah, against the Holy One of Israel.

vw@Jeremiah:50:32 @ And the most proud shall stumble and fall, and no one shall raise him up. And I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall consume everything all around him.

vw@Jeremiah:50:33 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts: The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together. And all who captured them have held them fast; they have refused to let them go.

vw@Jeremiah:50:34 @ Their Redeemer is strong; Jehovah of Hosts, is His name. He shall thoroughly plead their case, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.

vw@Jeremiah:50:35 @ A sword is upon the Chaldeans, says Jehovah, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her rulers, and upon her wise men.

vw@Jeremiah:50:36 @ A sword is upon the liars, and they shall become fools. A sword is upon her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed.

vw@Jeremiah:50:37 @ A sword is upon their horses and their chariots, and upon all the mixed people in her midst; and they shall become as women. A sword is upon her treasures, and they shall be robbed.

vw@Jeremiah:50:38 @ A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up. For it is the land of graven images, and they act madly and are in dread.

vw@Jeremiah:50:43 @ The king of Babylon has heard the report of them, and his hands became feeble. Anguish has taken hold of him, and pangs as of a woman in labor.

vw@Jeremiah:50:44 @ Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of the Jordan against the dwelling of the strong. But I will make them suddenly run away from her. And who is a chosen one whom I may appoint over her? For who is like Me? And who will set My appointments? And who is that shepherd who will face Me?

vw@Jeremiah:50:45 @ Therefore hear the counsel of Jehovah that He has taken against Babylon; and His purposes which He has purposed against the land of the Chaldeans. Surely the least of the flock shall drag them; surely He shall make their dwelling desolate to them.

vw@Jeremiah:50:46 @ At the sound of the capture of Babylon the earth quakes, and a cry is heard among the nations.

vw@Jeremiah:51:1 @ Thus says Jehovah: Behold, I will raise up a destroying wind against Babylon, and against those dwelling in their midst who rise up against Me.

vw@Jeremiah:51:3 @ Do not let the archer tread and bend his bow; nor lift himself up in his armor. And do not spare her young men; utterly destroy all her army.

vw@Jeremiah:51:5 @ For neither Israel nor Judah has been forsaken by his God, Jehovah of Hosts, though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.

vw@Jeremiah:51:6 @ Flee out of the middle of Babylon, and each man deliver his soul. Do not be cut off in her iniquity, for this is the time of Jehovah’s vengeance; He will make good her recompense.

vw@Jeremiah:51:9 @ We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed. Forsake her and let us go, each one into his own land; for her judgment reaches to the heavens and is lifted up to the skies.

vw@Jeremiah:51:11 @ Polish the arrows; gather the shields. Jehovah has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes. For His plan is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of Jehovah, the vengeance of His temple.

vw@Jeremiah:51:15 @ He has made the earth by His power; He has established the world by His wisdom, and has stretched out the heavens by His understanding.

vw@Jeremiah:51:16 @ When He utters His voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and He causes the mists to ascend from the ends of the earth. He makes lightnings with rain and brings forth the wind out of His treasures.

vw@Jeremiah:51:17 @ Every man is stupid in knowledge; every refiner is put to shame by graven images. For his molten image is deception, and there is no breath in them.

vw@Jeremiah:51:18 @ They are vanity, the work of errors; in the time of their judgment they shall perish.

vw@Jeremiah:51:19 @ The Portion of Jacob is not like them; for He is the Former of all things, and Israel is the offshoot of His inheritance. Jehovah of Hosts is His name.

vw@Jeremiah:51:21 @ And with you I will shatter the horse and his rider; and with you I will shatter the chariot and his rider.

vw@Jeremiah:51:23 @ I will also shatter the shepherd and his flock with you. And with you I will shatter the farmer and his yoke of oxen; and with you I will shatter governors and rulers.

vw@Jeremiah:51:27 @ Set up a banner in the land; blow the shofar among the nations; prepare the nations against her. Call the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz together against her; appoint a commander against her. Cause the horses to come up as the bristling caterpillars.

vw@Jeremiah:51:28 @ Consecrate nations against her, with the kings of the Medes, her governors and all her rulers, and all the land of his realm.

vw@Jeremiah:51:31 @ A runner shall run to meet a runner, and a herald to a herald, to report to the king of Babylon that his city is captured from end to end;

vw@Jeremiah:51:33 @ For thus says Jehovah of Hosts, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor, and it is time to thresh her. Yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.

vw@Jeremiah:51:34 @ Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me; he has crushed me; he has made me an empty vessel. He has swallowed me up like a dragon; he has filled his stomach with my delicacies; he has rinsed me out.

vw@Jeremiah:51:37 @ And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, a horror and a hissing, without inhabitant.

vw@Jeremiah:51:41 @ How Sheshach is captured! And how the praise of the whole earth is seized! How Babylon has become a waste among the nations!

vw@Jeremiah:51:42 @ The sea has come up over Babylon; she is covered with the multitude of its waves.

vw@Jeremiah:51:44 @ And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up. And the nations shall not flow together to him any more; yea, the wall of Babylon shall fall.

vw@Jeremiah:51:45 @ My people, go out of her midst; and let each man deliver his soul from the fierce anger of Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:51:47 @ Therefore, behold, the days are coming that I will punish the graven images of Babylon. And all her land shall be put to shame, and all her slain shall fall in her midst.

vw@Jeremiah:51:48 @ And the heavens and the earth, and all that is in them, shall shout for joy over Babylon; for the plunderers shall come to her from the north, says Jehovah.

vw@Jeremiah:51:49 @ As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon the slain of all the earth shall fall.

vw@Jeremiah:51:52 @ Therefore behold, the days are coming, says Jehovah, that I will punish her graven images, and throughout all her land the wounded shall groan.

vw@Jeremiah:51:55 @ because Jehovah is plundering Babylon, and the loud voice has been blotted out of her. Her waves are turbulent like great waters, they have made a great roaring sound;

vw@Jeremiah:51:56 @ because the plunderer has come upon her, even upon Babylon, and her mighty men are captured. Every one of their bows is broken, for Jehovah, the Mighty God of recompenses, makes good the recompense.

vw@Jeremiah:51:57 @ And I will make her rulers drunk, along with her wise ones, her governors, and her officials, and her mighty men. And they shall sleep a never-ending sleep and not wake up, says the King whose name is Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Jeremiah:51:59 @ The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And Seraiah was a quiet leader.

vw@Jeremiah:51:63 @ And it shall be when you have made an end of reading this book, that you shall tie a stone to it and throw it into the middle of the Euphrates.

vw@Jeremiah:51:64 @ And you shall say, In this way shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise, from the evil that I will bring upon her. And they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.

vw@Jeremiah:52:1 @ Zedekiah was twenty-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.

vw@Jeremiah:52:3 @ For although the anger of Jehovah was upon Jerusalem and Judah (until He had cast them out from His presence), Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

vw@Jeremiah:52:4 @ 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 built siege walls against it all around.

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

vw@Jeremiah:52:10 @ And the king of Babylon killed the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes. He also killed all the rulers of Judah in Riblah.

vw@Jeremiah:52:11 @ And he put out the eyes of Zedekiah. And the king of Babylon bound him in chains, and brought him to Babylon, and put him in prison till the day of his death.

vw@Jeremiah:52:18 @ They also took away the pots, and the shovels, and the snuffers, and the bowls, and the spoons, and all the vessels of bronze with which they ministered.

vw@Jeremiah:52:27 @ And the king of Babylon struck them and put them to death at Riblah in the land of Hamath. Thus Judah was taken captive out of his own land.

vw@Jeremiah:52:31 @ And it came to pass in the thirty-seventh year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, in the twenty-fifth of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon in the first year of his reign lifted up the head of Jehoiachin king of Judah, and brought him out of prison,

vw@Jeremiah:52:32 @ and spoke kindly to him, and set his throne above the throne of the kings who were with him in Babylon.

vw@Jeremiah:52:33 @ And he changed from his prison garments, and he ate bread before him all the days of his life.

vw@Jeremiah:52:34 @ And as for his allowance: a continual allowance was given him from the king of Babylon, the matter day by day, until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

vw@Lamentations:1:4 @ The roads of Zion mourn because none go to the appointed meetings. All her gates are deserted; her priests sigh; her virgins are afflicted, and she is in bitterness.

vw@Lamentations:1:8 @ Jerusalem has grievously sinned, therefore she has become impure. All who honored her despise her because they have seen her nakedness; yea, she sighs and turns backward.

vw@Lamentations:1:9 @ Her uncleanness is in her skirts; she did not remember her end, and her downfall was extraordinary. There is no comforter for her. O Jehovah, behold my affliction, for the enemy has magnified himself.

vw@Lamentations:1:10 @ The enemy has spread out his hand upon all her desirable things; for she has seen the nations enter her sanctuary, whom You commanded that they should not enter into Your assembly.

vw@Lamentations:1:12 @ Is it nothing to you, all you who pass by? Behold and see if there is any sorrow like my sorrow which is done to me, with which Jehovah has afflicted me in the day of His fierce anger.

vw@Lamentations:1:14 @ The yoke of my transgressions is bound by His hand, woven together, and thrust upon my neck. He has made my strength to falter; the Lord has delivered me into their hands. I am not able to rise up.

vw@Lamentations:1:16 @ For these I weep; my eye, my eye runs down with water, because the comforter who could refresh my soul is far from me. My children are desolate because the enemy has prevailed.

vw@Lamentations:1:17 @ Zion spreads forth her hands, but no one comforts her. Jehovah has commanded concerning Jacob that his enemies should be all around him; Jerusalem has become as an impure thing among them.

vw@Lamentations:1:18 @ Jehovah is righteous, for I have rebelled against His command. I beseech you, all peoples, hear and behold my sorrow. My virgins and my young men have gone into captivity.

vw@Lamentations:1:20 @ Behold, O Jehovah, for I am in distress; my stomach is upset; my heart churns within me, for I have grievously rebelled. Outside the sword bereaves; at home it is like death.

vw@Lamentations:1:22 @ Let all their wickedness come before You; and do to them as You have done to me for all my transgressions. For my sighs are many, and my heart is faint.

vw@Lamentations:2:1 @ How the Lord has covered the daughter of Zion with a cloud in His anger! He cast down the beauty of Israel from the heavens to the earth and remembered not His footstool in the day of His anger.

vw@Lamentations:2:2 @ The Lord has swallowed up all the dwelling places of Jacob and has not pitied. In His wrath He has thrown down the strongholds of the daughter of Judah; He has brought them down to the ground. He has defiled the kingdom and its rulers.

vw@Lamentations:2:3 @ He has cut off all the horn of Israel in His fierce anger; He has drawn back His right hand from before the enemy, and He burned against Jacob like flaming fire which devours all around.

vw@Lamentations:2:4 @ He has bent His bow like an enemy; He stood with His right hand like an adversary, and killed all who were desirable to the eye in the tent of the daughter of Zion. He has poured out His fury like fire.

vw@Lamentations:2:5 @ The Lord was like an enemy; He has swallowed up Israel; He has swallowed up all her palaces, and destroyed His strongholds. And He has increased mourning and lamentation in the daughter of Judah.

vw@Lamentations:2:6 @ And He has done violence to His pavilion like it were a garden, and has destroyed His meeting places. Jehovah has caused the appointed meetings and sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and He has despised the king and the priest in the indignation of His anger.

vw@Lamentations:2:7 @ The Lord has cast off His altar; He has abhorred His sanctuary; He has given up the walls of her palaces into the hand of the enemy. They have made a sound in the house of Jehovah, as in the day of the appointed meetings.

vw@Lamentations:2:8 @ Jehovah has purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of Zion; He has stretched out a line; He has not withdrawn His hand from devouring, and He made rampart and wall lament; they languish together.

vw@Lamentations:2:9 @ Her gates have sunk into the ground; He has destroyed and broken her bars. Her king and her rulers are among the nations. The law is no more; her prophets also find no vision from Jehovah.

vw@Lamentations:2:11 @ My eyes fail with tears; my stomach is upset; my liver is poured on the ground for the destruction of the daughter of my people, because the children and the babies faint in the streets of the city.

vw@Lamentations:2:13 @ What can I testify for you? To what thing shall I compare you, O daughter of Jerusalem? To what shall I equal you, so that I may comfort you, O virgin daughter of Zion? For your break is great like the sea! Who can heal you?

vw@Lamentations:2:14 @ Your prophets have seen vain and foolish things for you, and they have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captives; but they have seen false utterances and causes of banishment for you.

vw@Lamentations:2:15 @ All who pass by clap their hands at you; they hiss and wag their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, saying, Is this the city which is called the perfection of beauty, the joy of the whole earth?

vw@Lamentations:2:16 @ All your enemies have opened their mouth against you; they hiss and gnash the teeth; they say, We have swallowed her up. Certainly this is the day that we waited for. We have found it, we have seen it.

vw@Lamentations:2:17 @ Jehovah has done what He had purposed; He has fulfilled His Word which He commanded in the days of old. He has thrown down and not pitied. And He has caused your enemy to rejoice over you; He has set up the horn of your foes.

vw@Lamentations:2:19 @ Arise, cry out in the night. At the beginning of the watches, pour out your heart like water before the face of the Lord. Lift up your hands toward Him for the life of your children who faint from hunger at the head of every street.

vw@Lamentations:2:20 @ Behold, O Jehovah, and consider to whom You have done this. Shall the women eat their offspring, children of their tender care? Shall the priest and the prophet be killed in the sanctuary of the Lord?

vw@Lamentations:3:1 @ I, the man, have seen affliction by the rod of His wrath.

vw@Lamentations:3:3 @ Surely He is turned against me; He turns His hand all the day.

vw@Lamentations:3:12 @ He has bent His bow and set me as a target for the arrow.

vw@Lamentations:3:13 @ He has caused the arrows of His quiver to enter into my inward parts.

vw@Lamentations:3:21 @ I recall this to my mind; therefore I hope.

vw@Lamentations:3:22 @ Through Jehovah’s kindness we are not consumed, because His compassions never fail.

vw@Lamentations:3:23 @ They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness.

vw@Lamentations:3:24 @ Jehovah is my portion, says my soul; therefore I will hope in Him.

vw@Lamentations:3:25 @ Jehovah is good to those who wait for Him, to the soul who seeks Him.

vw@Lamentations:3:26 @ It is good that one should hope for the salvation of Jehovah, even in silence.

vw@Lamentations:3:27 @ It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth.

vw@Lamentations:3:29 @ He puts his mouth in the dust, if perhaps there may be hope.

vw@Lamentations:3:30 @ He gives his cheek to Him who strikes him; he is filled full with reproach.

vw@Lamentations:3:32 @ for though He causes grief, yet He will have compassion according to the multitude of His kindness.

vw@Lamentations:3:33 @ For He does not wish to afflict nor grieve the sons of men;

vw@Lamentations:3:34 @ to crush all the prisoners of the earth under His feet;

vw@Lamentations:3:36 @ to pervert a man in his cause; this the Lord does not look after.

vw@Lamentations:3:37 @ Who is he who speaks and it occurs, if the Lord has not commanded it?

vw@Lamentations:3:39 @ Why does a living man complain at the punishment for his sins?

vw@Lamentations:3:63 @ Behold their sitting down and their rising up; I am their taunting song.

vw@Lamentations:4:3 @ Even the monsters draw out the breast to suckle their young. But the daughter of my people is cruel, like the ostriches in the wilderness.

vw@Lamentations:4:4 @ The tongue of the infant cleaves to the roof of his mouth in thirst; the young children ask for bread; there is none broken to them.

vw@Lamentations:4:6 @ For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom, which was overthrown as in a moment, with no hands to writhe over her.

vw@Lamentations:4:7 @ Her Nazirites were purer than snow, whiter than milk; they were redder of body than rubies; their polishing as sapphires.

vw@Lamentations:4:8 @ Their appearance is blacker than soot; they are not recognized in the streets; their skin has shriveled on their bones; it is dried up; it has become like wood.

vw@Lamentations:4:11 @ Jehovah has fulfilled His fury; He has poured out His fierce anger, and has kindled a fire in Zion, and it has devoured its foundations.

vw@Lamentations:4:20 @ The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of Jehovah, was captured in their pits; of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the nations.

vw@Lamentations:4:22 @ The punishment of your iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of Zion; He will send you into captivity no more. He will punish your iniquity, O daughter of Edom; He will expose your sins.

vw@Lamentations:5:6 @ We have given the hand to Egypt, to Assyria, to be satisfied with bread.

vw@Lamentations:5:8 @ Servants rule over us; there is no one to deliver out of their hand.

vw@Lamentations:5:9 @ We bring in our bread at the risk of our lives, because of the sword of the wilderness.

vw@Lamentations:5:10 @ Our skin is hot like an oven because of the burning heat of famine.

vw@Lamentations:5:17 @ Our heart is faint because of this; our eyes are dim because of these things.

vw@Lamentations:5:18 @ The mountain of Zion is laid waste; the foxes walk upon it.

vw@Ezekiel:1:1 @ Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the River Chebar, that the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.

vw@Ezekiel:1:5 @ Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.

vw@Ezekiel:1:7 @ Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the soles of calves’ feet. They sparkled like the color of burnished bronze.

vw@Ezekiel:1:27 @ Also from the appearance of His waist and upward I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around.

vw@Ezekiel:1:28 @ As the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Jehovah. So when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard a voice of One speaking.

vw@Ezekiel:2:3 @ And He said to me: Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that has rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.

vw@Ezekiel:2:6 @ And you, son of man, do not be afraid of them nor be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you and you dwell among scorpions; do not be afraid of their words or dismayed by their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

vw@Ezekiel:3:1 @ Moreover He said to me, Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:3:3 @ And He said to me, Son of man, feed your belly, and fill your stomach with this scroll that I give you. So I ate, and it was in my mouth like honey for sweetness.

vw@Ezekiel:3:4 @ Then He said to me: Son of man, Go. Come to the house of Israel and speak My Words to them.

vw@Ezekiel:3:5 @ For you are not sent to a people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, but to the house of Israel,

vw@Ezekiel:3:6 @ not to many people of unfamiliar speech and of hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have listened to you.

vw@Ezekiel:3:7 @ But the house of Israel is not willing to listen to you, because they are not willing to listen to Me; for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.

vw@Ezekiel:3:9 @ Like adamant stone, harder than flint, I have made your forehead; do not be afraid of them, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.

vw@Ezekiel:3:12 @ Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me a great thunderous voice: Blessed is the glory of Jehovah from His place!

vw@Ezekiel:3:17 @ Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel; therefore hear the Word from My mouth, and give them warning from Me:

vw@Ezekiel:3:18 @ When I say to the wicked, You shall die the death, and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.

vw@Ezekiel:3:19 @ Yet, if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

vw@Ezekiel:3:20 @ Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he shall die. Because you did not give him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.

vw@Ezekiel:3:22 @ And the hand of Jehovah was upon me there, and He said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and there I will talk with you.

vw@Ezekiel:4:3 @ Moreover take for yourself an iron plate, and set it as an iron wall between you and the city. Set your face against it, and it shall be under siege, and you shall lay siege against it. This will be a sign to the house of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:4:4 @ Lie also on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it. According to the number of the days that you lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity.

vw@Ezekiel:4:5 @ For I have laid on you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days; so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:4:13 @ And Jehovah said, Even so shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them.

vw@Ezekiel:5:2 @ You shall burn with fire one-third in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are finished; then you shall take one-third and strike around it with the sword, and one-third you shall scatter into the wind: and I will draw out a sword after them.

vw@Ezekiel:5:4 @ Then take some of them again and throw them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From there a fire will go out into all the house of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:5:5 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the midst of the nations and the lands all around her.

vw@Ezekiel:5:7 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Because you have multiplied disobedience more than the nations that are all around you, have not walked in My statutes nor kept My judgments, nor even done according to the judgments of the nations that are all around you;

vw@Ezekiel:5:11 @ Therefore, as I live, says the Lord Jehovah, surely, because you have defiled My sanctuary with all your detestable idols and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; My eye will not spare, nor will I have any pity.

vw@Ezekiel:5:15 @ So it shall be a reproach, a taunt, a chastening, and a horror to the nations that are all around you, when I execute judgments against you in anger and in fury and in furious punishment. I, Jehovah, have spoken.

vw@Ezekiel:6:2 @ Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them,

vw@Ezekiel:6:3 @ and say, O mountains of Israel, hear the Word of the Lord Jehovah! Thus says the Lord Jehovah to the mountains, to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys: Behold I, even I, will bring a sword against you, and I will destroy your high places.

vw@Ezekiel:6:5 @ And I will lay the corpses of the children of Israel before their idols, and I will scatter your bones all around your altars.

vw@Ezekiel:6:10 @ And they shall know that I am Jehovah; I have not said in vain that I would do this evil to them.

vw@Ezekiel:6:11 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Strike with your hands and stamp with your feet, and say, Alas, for all the evil abominations of the house of Israel! For they shall fall by the sword, by famine, and by pestilence.

vw@Ezekiel:6:12 @ He who is far off shall die by the pestilence, he who is near shall fall by the sword, and he who remains and is besieged shall die by the famine. Thus will I spend My fury upon them.

vw@Ezekiel:7:2 @ And you, son of man, thus says the Lord Jehovah to the land of Israel: An end! The end has come upon the four corners of the land.

vw@Ezekiel:7:7 @ Morning has come to you, you who dwell in the land; the time has come, a day of trouble is near, and not a shout of rejoicing in the mountains.

vw@Ezekiel:7:11 @ Violence has risen up into a staff of wickedness; none of them shall remain, none of their multitude, none of their abundance, nor any eminent among them.

vw@Ezekiel:7:12 @ The time has come, the day draws near. Let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn, for wrath is upon all their multitude.

vw@Ezekiel:7:13 @ For the seller shall not return to what has been sold, though he may still be alive (for the vision concerns the whole multitude, and shall not change); no one will strengthen himself who lives in iniquity.

vw@Ezekiel:7:14 @ They have blown the trumpet and made everyone ready, but no one goes to battle; for My wrath is on all their multitude.

vw@Ezekiel:7:15 @ The sword is outside, and the pestilence and famine within. Whoever is in the field will die by the sword; and whoever is in the city, famine and pestilence will devour him.

vw@Ezekiel:7:16 @ Those who survive will escape and be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them mourning, each for his iniquity.

vw@Ezekiel:7:19 @ They will throw their silver into the streets, and their gold will be like filthiness; their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of Jehovah; they will not satisfy their souls, nor fill their stomachs, because it is the stumbling block of their iniquity.

vw@Ezekiel:7:20 @ As for the beauty of His ornaments, He set it in majesty; but they made from it the images of their abominations; their detestable things; therefore I have made it like refuse to them.

vw@Ezekiel:7:23 @ Make a chain, for the land is filled with bloody judgments, and the city is full of violence.

vw@Ezekiel:7:26 @ Disaster will come upon disaster, and rumor will be upon rumor. Then they will seek a vision from a prophet; but the Law will perish from the priest, and counsel from the elders.

vw@Ezekiel:7:27 @ The king will mourn, the prince will be clothed with desolation, and the hands of the people of the land will be terrified. I will do to them according to their way, and according to their judgment I will punish them. And they shall know that I am Jehovah!

vw@Ezekiel:8:2 @ Then I looked, and there was a likeness, like the appearance of fire; from the appearance of His waist and downward, fire; and from His waist and upward, like the appearance of brightness, like the color of amber.

vw@Ezekiel:8:3 @ And He stretched out the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and the heavens, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the image of jealousy was, which provokes to jealousy.

vw@Ezekiel:8:4 @ And behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, like the vision that I saw in the plain.

vw@Ezekiel:8:5 @ Then He said to me, Son of man, lift up your eyes now toward the north. So I lifted up my eyes toward the north, and behold, toward the north at the gate of the altar, was this image of jealousy at the entrance.

vw@Ezekiel:8:6 @ Furthermore He said to me, Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations that the house of Israel commits here, to make Me go far away from My sanctuary? Now turn again, you will see greater abominations.

vw@Ezekiel:8:10 @ So I went in and saw; and behold, every sort of creeping thing, abominable beasts, and all the idols of the house of Israel, carved all around on the wall.

vw@Ezekiel:8:11 @ And there stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel, and in their midst stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan. Each man had a censer in his hand, and a thick cloud of incense went up.

vw@Ezekiel:8:12 @ Then He said to me, Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the room of his idols? For they say, Jehovah does not see us, Jehovah has forsaken the land.

vw@Ezekiel:8:15 @ Then He said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? Turn again, you will see greater abominations than these.

vw@Ezekiel:8:17 @ And He said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? Is it a trivial thing to the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence; then they have returned to provoke Me to anger. Indeed they put the branch to their nose.

vw@Ezekiel:9:1 @ Then He called out in my hearing with a loud voice, saying, Let those who have charge over the city draw near, each with his destroying weapon in his hand.

vw@Ezekiel:9:2 @ And, behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which faces north, each with his shattering weapon in his hand. One man among them was clothed with linen and had a writer’s inkhorn at his side. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.

vw@Ezekiel:9:3 @ And the glory of the God of Israel had gone up from the cherub, where it had been, to the threshold of the house. And He called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn at his side;

vw@Ezekiel:9:6 @ Utterly slay old and young men, maidens and little children and women; but do not come near anyone on whom is the mark; and begin at My sanctuary. So they began with the elders who were before the house.

vw@Ezekiel:9:8 @ So it was, that while they were killing them, I was left alone; and I fell on my face and cried out, and said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! Will You destroy all the remnant of Israel in pouring out Your fury on Jerusalem?

vw@Ezekiel:9:9 @ Then He said to me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is filled with blood, and the city is full of perversity; for they say, Jehovah has forsaken the land; and, Jehovah does not see!

vw@Ezekiel:9:11 @ And behold, the man clothed with linen, who had the inkhorn at his side, reported back and said, I have done as You commanded me.

vw@Ezekiel:10:7 @ And the cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim to the fire that was among the cherubim, and took some of it and put it into the hands of the man clothed with linen, who took it and went out.

vw@Ezekiel:10:15 @ And the cherubim were lifted up. This was the living creature that I saw by the River Chebar.

vw@Ezekiel:10:19 @ And the cherubim lifted their wings and mounted up from the earth before my eyes. When they went out, the wheels were beside them; and they stood at the door of the east gate of the house of Jehovah, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them from above.

vw@Ezekiel:10:20 @ This is the living creature I saw under the God of Israel by the River Chebar, and I knew that they were cherubim.

vw@Ezekiel:11:2 @ And He said to me: Son of man, these are the men who devise wickedness and give evil advice in this city,

vw@Ezekiel:11:3 @ who say, The time is not near; let us build houses. This city is the kettle, and we are the flesh.

vw@Ezekiel:11:5 @ And the Spirit of Jehovah fell upon me, and said to me, Speak! Thus says Jehovah: Thus you have said, O house of Israel; for I know the thoughts that come into your mind.

vw@Ezekiel:11:6 @ You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.

vw@Ezekiel:11:7 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Your slain whom you have laid in its midst, they are the flesh, and this city is the kettle; but I shall bring you out of the midst of it.

vw@Ezekiel:11:10 @ You shall fall by the sword. I will judge you to the borders of Israel. And you shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:11:11 @ This city shall not be your kettle, nor shall you be the flesh in its midst. I will judge you in the borders of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:11:13 @ And it happened, while I was prophesying, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell on my face and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! Will You make a complete end of the remnant of Israel?

vw@Ezekiel:11:15 @ Son of man, your brethren, your relatives, the men of your kindred, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Go far away from Jehovah; this land has been given to us as a possession.

vw@Ezekiel:11:17 @ Therefore say, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will gather you from the peoples, assemble you from the lands where you have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:11:22 @ Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, with the wheels beside them, and the glory of the God of Israel was over them from above.

vw@Ezekiel:11:23 @ And the glory of Jehovah went up from the midst of the city and stood on the mountain, which is on the east side of the city.

vw@Ezekiel:11:24 @ Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to those of the captivity. And the vision that I had seen went up from me.

vw@Ezekiel:12:6 @ In their sight you shall bear them on your shoulders and carry them out at twilight; you shall cover your face, so that you cannot see the ground, for I have made you a sign to the house of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:12:9 @ Son of man, has not the house of Israel, the rebellious house, said to you, What are you doing?

vw@Ezekiel:12:10 @ Say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: This burden concerns the prince in Jerusalem and all the house of Israel who are among them.

vw@Ezekiel:12:12 @ And the prince who is among them shall bear his belongings on his shoulder in the dark and go out. They shall dig through the wall to carry them out through it. He shall cover his face, so that he cannot see the ground with his eyes.

vw@Ezekiel:12:14 @ And I will scatter to every wind all who are around him to help him, and all his troops; and I will draw out the sword after them.

vw@Ezekiel:12:15 @ And they shall know that I am Jehovah, when I scatter them among the nations and disperse them throughout the earth.

vw@Ezekiel:12:19 @ And say to the people of the land, Thus says the Lord Jehovah to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread with anxiety, and drink their water with horror, so that her land may be emptied of all who are in it, because of the violence of all those who dwell in it.

vw@Ezekiel:12:22 @ Son of man, what is this proverb that you people have about the land of Israel, which says, The days are prolonged, and every vision fails?

vw@Ezekiel:12:23 @ Tell them therefore, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will put an end to this proverb, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel. But say to them, The days are at hand, and the fulfillment of every vision.

vw@Ezekiel:12:24 @ For no more shall there be any false vision or flattering divination within the house of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:12:27 @ Son of man, behold, the house of Israel is saying, The vision that he sees is for many days from now, and he prophesies of times afar off.

vw@Ezekiel:13:2 @ Son of man, prophesy against the prophets of Israel who prophesy, and say to those who prophesy out of their own heart, Hear the Word of Jehovah!

vw@Ezekiel:13:3 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the foolish prophets, who follow their own spirit and have seen nothing!

vw@Ezekiel:13:4 @ O Israel, your prophets are like foxes in the deserts.

vw@Ezekiel:13:5 @ You have not gone up into the gaps, nor built a wall for the house of Israel to stand in battle in the day of Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:13:7 @ Have you not seen a vain vision, and have you not spoken a lying divination? You say, Jehovah declares; though I have not spoken.

vw@Ezekiel:13:9 @ And My hand will be against the prophets who see vanity and who divine lies; they shall not be in the council of My people, nor be written in the record of the house of Israel, nor shall they enter into the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:13:10 @ Because, indeed, because they have seduced My people, saying, Peace! when there is no peace; and one builds a wall, and plasters it with whitewash.

vw@Ezekiel:13:12 @ Surely, when the wall has fallen, will it not be said to you, Where is the mortar with which you plastered it?

vw@Ezekiel:13:15 @ Thus will I accomplish My wrath on the wall and on those who have plastered it with whitewash; and I will say to you, The wall is no more, nor those who plastered it;

vw@Ezekiel:13:16 @ that is, the prophets of Israel who prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:13:17 @ Likewise, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who prophesy out of their own heart; prophesy against them,

vw@Ezekiel:13:19 @ And will you profane Me among My people for handfuls of barley and for pieces of bread, executing souls that should not die, and keeping alive the souls that should not live, by your lying to My people who listen to lies?

vw@Ezekiel:13:22 @ Because with lies you have made the heart of the righteous sad, whom I have not pained; and you have strengthened the hands of the wicked, so that he does not turn from his wicked way to restore his life.

vw@Ezekiel:14:1 @ Then some of the elders of Israel came to me and sat before me.

vw@Ezekiel:14:4 @ Therefore speak to them, and say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Everyone of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, and puts before his face the stumbling block of his iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I, Jehovah will answer him who comes, according to the multitude of his idols,

vw@Ezekiel:14:5 @ that I may catch the house of Israel in their own heart, because they are all estranged from Me through their idols.

vw@Ezekiel:14:6 @ Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Repent, turn away from your idols, and turn your faces away from all your abominations.

vw@Ezekiel:14:7 @ For anyone of the house of Israel, or of the stranger who sojourns in Israel, who separates himself from Me and sets up his idols in his heart and puts before his face the stumbling block of his iniquity, and comes to a prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I Jehovah will answer him by Myself.

vw@Ezekiel:14:9 @ And if the prophet is induced to speak anything, I Jehovah have induced that prophet, and I will stretch out My hand against him and destroy him from the midst of My people Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:14:10 @ And they shall bear their iniquity; the punishment of the prophet shall be the same as the punishment of the one who inquired,

vw@Ezekiel:14:11 @ that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me, nor be defiled anymore with all their transgressions, but that they may be My people and I may be their God, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:15:2 @ Son of man, how is the wood of the vine, the vine branch, better than any other wood which is among the trees of the forest?

vw@Ezekiel:15:3 @ Is wood taken from it to make any object? Or can men make a peg from it on which to hang any vessel?

vw@Ezekiel:15:4 @ Instead, it is thrown into the fire for fuel; the fire devours both ends of it, and its middle is burned. Is it useful for any work?

vw@Ezekiel:15:5 @ Indeed, when it was whole, no object could be made from it. How much less will it be useful for any work when the fire has devoured it, and it is burned.

vw@Ezekiel:16:11 @ I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your wrists, and a chain on your neck.

vw@Ezekiel:16:27 @ Behold, therefore, I stretched out My hand against you, diminished your allotment, and gave you up to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your licentious ways.

vw@Ezekiel:16:28 @ You also committed adultery with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; indeed you committed adultery with them and still were not satisfied.

vw@Ezekiel:16:29 @ Moreover you multiplied your acts of harlotry in the land of Canaan, as far as Chaldea; and even then you were not satisfied.

vw@Ezekiel:16:30 @ How weak is your heart! declares the Lord Jehovah, seeing you do all these things; the deeds of a domineering woman of prostitution.

vw@Ezekiel:16:44 @ Indeed everyone who quotes proverbs will use this proverb against you: Like mother, like daughter!

vw@Ezekiel:16:45 @ You are your mother’s daughter, loathing her husband and children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.

vw@Ezekiel:16:46 @ And your older sister is Samaria, who dwells with her daughters to the north of you; and your younger sister, who dwells to the south of you, is Sodom and her daughters.

vw@Ezekiel:16:48 @ As I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, neither your sister Sodom nor her daughters have done as you and your daughters have done.

vw@Ezekiel:16:49 @ Behold, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy.

vw@Ezekiel:16:51 @ Samaria did not commit half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all the abominations which you have done.

vw@Ezekiel:16:52 @ You who judged your sisters, bear your own shame also, because your sins were more abominable than theirs; they are more righteous than you. Yes, be disgraced also, and bear your own shame, because you justified your sisters.

vw@Ezekiel:16:54 @ so that you may bear your own shame and be disgraced by all that you did, since you comforted them.

vw@Ezekiel:16:55 @ When your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, return to their former state, and Samaria and her daughters return to their former state, then you and your daughters will return to your former state.

vw@Ezekiel:16:56 @ For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth in the day of your pride,

vw@Ezekiel:16:57 @ before your wickedness was uncovered. It was like the time of the reproach of the daughters of Syria and all those around her, and of the daughters of the Philistines, who despise you from all around.

vw@Ezekiel:16:59 @ For thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath by breaking the covenant.

vw@Ezekiel:16:60 @ Nevertheless I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.

vw@Ezekiel:16:61 @ Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed, when you receive your older and your younger sisters; and I will give them to you for daughters, but not by your covenant.

vw@Ezekiel:16:62 @ And I will establish My covenant with you. And you shall know that I am Jehovah,

vw@Ezekiel:17:2 @ Son of man, propound a riddle, and speak a parable to the house of Israel,

vw@Ezekiel:17:7 @ There was another great eagle with large wings and many feathers; and behold, this vine bent its roots toward him, and stretched its branches toward him, away from the garden terrace where it had been planted, that he might water it.

vw@Ezekiel:17:14 @ that the kingdom might be low, that it might not lift itself up, but that by the keeping of his covenant it might stand.

vw@Ezekiel:17:15 @ But he rebelled against him by sending his ambassadors to Egypt, that they might give him horses and many people. Will he prosper? Will he who does such things escape? Can he break a covenant and still be delivered?

vw@Ezekiel:17:16 @ As I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, surely in the place where the king dwells who made him king, whose oath he despised and whose covenant he broke, there he shall die with him in the midst of Babylon.

vw@Ezekiel:17:17 @ Nor will Pharaoh with his mighty army and great company do anything in the war, when they heap up a siege mound and build a wall to cut off many persons.

vw@Ezekiel:17:18 @ Since he despised the oath by breaking the covenant, and in fact gave his hand and still did all these things, he shall not escape.

vw@Ezekiel:17:21 @ And all his fugitives with all his troops shall fall by the sword, and those who remain shall be scattered to every wind. And you shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken.

vw@Ezekiel:17:23 @ On the mountain height of Israel I will plant it; and it will bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, and be a majestic cedar. And under it will dwell birds of every wing; in the shadow of its branches they will dwell.

vw@Ezekiel:17:24 @ And all the trees of the field shall know that I, Jehovah, have brought down the high tree and exalted the low tree, dried up the green tree and made the dry tree flourish; I, Jehovah, have spoken and have done it.

vw@Ezekiel:18:3 @ As I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, you shall no longer use this proverb in Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:18:4 @ Behold, all souls are Mine; the soul of the father as well as the soul of the son is Mine; the soul who sins shall die.

vw@Ezekiel:18:5 @ But if a man is righteous and does what is just and right;

vw@Ezekiel:18:6 @ if he has not eaten on the mountains, nor lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor defiled his neighbor’s wife, nor approached a menstruating woman;

vw@Ezekiel:18:7 @ if he has not oppressed anyone, but has restored to the debtor his pledge; has plundered no one by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry and covered the naked with clothing;

vw@Ezekiel:18:8 @ if he has not given with usury nor taken any increase, but has withdrawn his hand from iniquity and executed true judgment between man and man;

vw@Ezekiel:18:9 @ if he has walked in My statutes and kept My judgments faithfully; he is righteous. He shall live life, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:18:10 @ If he begets a son who is a robber or who sheds blood, who does any of these things,

vw@Ezekiel:18:11 @ and does none of those duties, but has eaten on the mountains or defiled his neighbor’s wife;

vw@Ezekiel:18:12 @ if he has oppressed the poor and needy, plundered by robbery, not restored the pledge, has lifted his eyes to the idols, or committed abomination;

vw@Ezekiel:18:13 @ if he has exacted usury or taken increase; shall he then live? He shall not live! If he has done any of these abominations, he shall die the death; his blood shall be upon him.

vw@Ezekiel:18:14 @ If, however, he begets a son who sees all the sins which his father has done, and considers but does not do likewise;

vw@Ezekiel:18:15 @ who has not eaten on the mountains, nor lifted his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, nor defiled his neighbor’s wife;

vw@Ezekiel:18:16 @ has not oppressed anyone, nor withheld a pledge, nor plundered by robbery, but has given his bread to the hungry and covered the naked with clothing;

vw@Ezekiel:18:17 @ who has withdrawn his hand from the poor and not received usury or increase, but has executed My judgments and walked in My statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father; he shall live life!

vw@Ezekiel:18:18 @ As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, plundered his brother by robbery, and did what is not good among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity.

vw@Ezekiel:18:19 @ Yet you say, Why? Does not the son bear the guilt of the father? When the son has done what is lawful and right, and has kept all My statutes and done them, he shall live life.

vw@Ezekiel:18:21 @ But if a wicked man turns from all his sins which he has done, keeps all My statutes, and does what is lawful and right, he shall live life; he shall not die.

vw@Ezekiel:18:23 @ Do I delight with pleasure in the death of the wicked? says the Lord Jehovah, and not that he should turn back from his ways and live?

vw@Ezekiel:18:24 @ But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and does according to all the abominations that the wicked man does, shall he live? All the righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; because of the treachery of his unfaithfulness, and the sin which he has sinned, in them he shall die.

vw@Ezekiel:18:25 @ Yet you say, The way of the Lord is not fair. Hear now, O house of Israel, is it not My way which is fair, and your ways which are not fair.

vw@Ezekiel:18:26 @ When a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity, and dies in it, it is for the iniquity which he has done that he dies.

vw@Ezekiel:18:27 @ Again, when a wicked man turns away from the wickedness which he has done, and does what is lawful and right, he preserves himself alive.

vw@Ezekiel:18:29 @ Yet the house of Israel says, The way of the Lord is not fair. O house of Israel, is it not My ways which are fair, and your ways which are not fair.

vw@Ezekiel:18:30 @ Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, every one according to his ways, says the Lord Jehovah. Repent, and turn from all your transgressions, so that iniquity shall not be a stumbling block to you.

vw@Ezekiel:19:7 @ He knew their desolate places, and laid waste their cities; the land with its fullness was desolated by the sound of his roaring.

vw@Ezekiel:19:9 @ They put him in a cage with chains, and brought him to the king of Babylon; they brought him in hunting nets, so that his voice should no longer be heard on the mountains of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:19:13 @ And now she is planted in the wilderness, in a dry and thirsty land.

vw@Ezekiel:19:14 @ Fire has gone out from a staff of her branches and devoured her fruit, so that she has no strong staff; a scepter for ruling. This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.

vw@Ezekiel:20:1 @ It came to pass in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, that certain men of the elders of Israel came to inquire of Jehovah, and sat before me.

vw@Ezekiel:20:3 @ Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel, and say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Have you come to inquire of Me? As I live, says the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.

vw@Ezekiel:20:5 @ And say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: On the day when I chose Israel and raised My hand and swore to the seed of the house of Jacob, and made Myself known to them in the land of Egypt, I raised My hand and swore to them, saying, I am Jehovah your God.

vw@Ezekiel:20:6 @ On that day I raised My hand and swore to them, to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all the earth.

vw@Ezekiel:20:7 @ Then I said to them, Each of you, throw away the abominations which are before his eyes, and do not defile yourselves with the idols of Egypt. I am Jehovah your God.

vw@Ezekiel:20:13 @ But the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness; they did not walk in My statutes; they despised My judgments, which, if a man does, he shall even live by them; and they greatly defiled My Sabbaths. Then I said, I will pour out My fury upon them in the wilderness, to consume them.

vw@Ezekiel:20:15 @ So I also raised My hand and swore to them in the wilderness, that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all the earth,

vw@Ezekiel:20:16 @ because they despised My judgments and did not walk in My statutes, but profaned My Sabbaths; for their heart went after their idols.

vw@Ezekiel:20:23 @ And I raised My hand and swore to those in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the nations and disperse them throughout the earth,

vw@Ezekiel:20:24 @ because they had not executed My judgments, but had despised My statutes, profaned My Sabbaths, and their eyes followed after their fathers’ idols.

vw@Ezekiel:20:27 @ Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel, and say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed Me, by being treacherously unfaithful to Me.

vw@Ezekiel:20:28 @ For when I brought them into the land concerning which I had raised My hand and sworn to give it to them, and they saw all the high hills and all the thick trees, there they offered their sacrifices and provoked Me with their offerings. There they also sent up their soothing aroma and poured out their drink offerings.

vw@Ezekiel:20:29 @ Then I said to them, What is this high place to which you go? And its name is called Bamah to this day.

vw@Ezekiel:20:30 @ Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Are you defiling yourselves in the manner of your fathers, and committing adultery with their abominations?

vw@Ezekiel:20:31 @ For when you offer your gifts and make your sons pass through the fire, you defile yourselves with all your idols, even to this day. So shall I be inquired of by you, O house of Israel? As I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, I will not be inquired of by you.

vw@Ezekiel:20:38 @ I will purge out the rebels from among you, and those who transgress against Me. I will bring them out of the land where they dwell, but they shall not enter into the land of Israel. And you will know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:20:39 @ As for you, O house of Israel, thus says the Lord Jehovah: Go, serve every one of you his idols, even hereafter, if you will not obey me. But profane My holy name no more with your gifts and your idols.

vw@Ezekiel:20:40 @ For on My holy mountain, on the mountain height of Israel, says the Lord Jehovah, there all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, shall serve Me; there I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings and the firstfruits of your sacrifices, together with all your holy things.

vw@Ezekiel:20:42 @ And you shall know that I am Jehovah, when I bring you into the land of Israel, into the land for which I raised My hand and swore to give it to your fathers.

vw@Ezekiel:20:44 @ And you shall know that I am Jehovah, when I have dealt with you for My name’s sake, not according to your wicked ways nor according to your corrupt doings, O house of Israel, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:21:9 @ Son of man, prophesy and say, Thus says Jehovah! Say: A sword, a sword is sharpened and also polished!

vw@Ezekiel:21:10 @ It is sharpened to slaughter and butcher, polished to flash like lightning! Should we then make mirth? It despises the scepter of My son, as every tree.

vw@Ezekiel:21:11 @ And He has given it to be polished, that it may be handled; this sword is sharpened, and it is polished to be given into the hand of the slayer.

vw@Ezekiel:21:12 @ Cry and howl, son of man; for it will be against My people, against all the rulers of Israel. The sword will be thrown against My people; therefore slap your thigh,

vw@Ezekiel:21:13 @ because it is a testing. And what if the sword despises even the scepter? It shall be no more, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:21:14 @ You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike hand to hand; strike. The third time let the sword be doubled. It is the sword that slays, the sword that slays the great men, that surrounds them.

vw@Ezekiel:21:15 @ I have set the slaughter of the sword against all their gates, That the heart may melt and many may stumble. Ah! It is made bright; it is grasped for the slaughter:

vw@Ezekiel:21:16 @ Be sharp to the right! Set yourself to the left; wherever your face is appointed!

vw@Ezekiel:21:22 @ In his right hand is the divination for Jerusalem: to set up battering rams, to call for a slaughter, to lift the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to heap up a mound, and to build a siege wall.

vw@Ezekiel:21:25 @ Now to you, O slain, wicked prince of Israel, whose day has come, whose iniquity shall end,

vw@Ezekiel:21:27 @ Ruin, ruin! I will ruin it! It shall be no more, until He comes whose right it is. And I will give it to Him.

vw@Ezekiel:21:29 @ while they see false visions for you, while they divine a lie to you, to bring you upon the necks of the slain, the wicked whose day has come, whose iniquity shall end.

vw@Ezekiel:22:6 @ Behold, the rulers of Israel: each one was in you by his power to shed blood in you.

vw@Ezekiel:22:7 @ In you they have made light of father and mother; in your midst they have oppressed the sojourner; in you they have mistreated the orphan and the widow.

vw@Ezekiel:22:8 @ You have despised My holy things and profaned My Sabbaths.

vw@Ezekiel:22:11 @ One commits abomination with his neighbor’s wife; another lewdly defiles his daughter-in-law; and another in you humbles his sister, his father’s daughter.

vw@Ezekiel:22:15 @ I will scatter you among the nations, disperse you throughout the earth, and destroy your filthiness out of you.

vw@Ezekiel:22:18 @ Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to Me; they are all bronze, tin, iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.

vw@Ezekiel:22:22 @ As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall you be melted in its midst. And you shall know that I, Jehovah, have poured out My fury upon you.

vw@Ezekiel:22:25 @ The conspiracy of her prophets in her midst is like a roaring lion tearing the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken treasure and precious things; they have made many widows in her midst.

vw@Ezekiel:23:32 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: You shall drink of your sister’s cup, deep and wide; you shall be laughed to scorn and held in derision; for it contains much.

vw@Ezekiel:23:33 @ You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, the cup of horror and desolation, the cup of your sister Samaria.

vw@Ezekiel:23:37 @ For they have committed adultery, and blood is on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols, and even sacrificed their sons whom they bore to Me, passing them through the fire, to devour them.

vw@Ezekiel:23:38 @ Moreover they have done this to Me: They have defiled My sanctuary on the same day and profaned My Sabbaths.

vw@Ezekiel:23:39 @ For after they had slain their children to their idols, on the same day they came into My sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, this they have done in the midst of My house.

vw@Ezekiel:23:42 @ And the sound of a multitude at ease was with her, and drunkards were brought from the wilderness with men of the common sort, who put bracelets on their wrists and beautiful crowns on their heads.

vw@Ezekiel:23:45 @ And righteous men will judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is on their hands.

vw@Ezekiel:24:2 @ Son of man, write down the name of the day, this very day; the king of Babylon has leaned against Jerusalem this very day.

vw@Ezekiel:24:7 @ For her blood is in her midst; she set it on top of a rock; she did not pour it on the ground, to cover it with dust.

vw@Ezekiel:24:8 @ That it may raise up fury and take vengeance, I have set her blood on top of a rock, that it may not be covered.

vw@Ezekiel:29:20 @ I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor, because they worked for Me, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:29:21 @ In that day I will cause the horn of the house of Israel to spring forth, and I will open your mouth to speak in their midst. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:30:3 @ For the day is near, even the day of Jehovah is near; it will be a day of clouds, the time of the nations.

vw@Ezekiel:30:4 @ And the sword shall come upon Egypt, and great anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt, and they take away her wealth, and her foundations are broken down.

vw@Ezekiel:30:9 @ In that day messengers shall go forth from Me in ships to make the confident Ethiopians afraid, and great anguish shall come upon them, as in the day of Egypt; for indeed it is coming!

vw@Ezekiel:30:11 @ He and his people with him, the most ruthless of the nations, shall be brought to destroy the land; they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.

vw@Ezekiel:30:12 @ I will make the rivers dry, and sell the land into the hand of evil ones; I will make the land waste, and all that is in it, by the hand of strangers. I, Jehovah, have spoken.

vw@Ezekiel:30:16 @ and set a fire in Egypt; Sin shall writhe in anguish, No shall be split open, and Noph shall be in daily distress.

vw@Ezekiel:30:22 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and will break his arms, both the strong one and the one that was broken; and I will cause the sword to fall out of his hand.

vw@Ezekiel:30:23 @ I will scatter Egypt among the nations, and disperse them throughout the earth.

vw@Ezekiel:30:24 @ And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon and put My sword in his hand; but I will break Pharaoh’s arms, and he will groan before him with the groanings of a mortally wounded man.

vw@Ezekiel:30:26 @ And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations and disperse them throughout the earth. And they shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:31:2 @ Son of man, say to Pharaoh king of Egypt and to his multitude: Whom are you like in your greatness?

vw@Ezekiel:31:18 @ To which of the trees in Eden will you then be likened in glory and greatness? Yet you shall be brought down with the trees of Eden to the depths of the earth; you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised, with those slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:32:7 @ When I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens, and make its stars dark; I will cover the sun with a cloud, and the moon shall not give its light.

vw@Ezekiel:32:10 @ Yes, I will make many peoples astonished at you, and their kings shall be horribly afraid at you when I brandish My sword before them; and they shall tremble every moment, every man for his own life, in the day of your fall.

vw@Ezekiel:32:15 @ When I make the land of Egypt desolate, and the land is destitute of all that once filled it, when I strike all who dwell in it, then they shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:32:16 @ This is the lamentation with which they shall lament her; the daughters of the nations shall lament her; they shall lament for her, for Egypt, and for all her multitude, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:32:19 @ Whom do you surpass in beauty? Go down, be laid with the uncircumcised.

vw@Ezekiel:32:20 @ They shall fall in the midst of those slain by the sword; she is delivered to the sword, drawing her and all her multitudes.

vw@Ezekiel:32:23 @ Her graves are set in the recesses of the Pit, and her company is all around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who caused terror in the land of the living.

vw@Ezekiel:32:24 @ There is Elam and all her multitude, all around her grave, all of them slain, fallen by the sword, who have gone down uncircumcised to the lower parts of the earth, who caused their terror in the land of the living. Now they bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit.

vw@Ezekiel:32:25 @ They have set her bed in the midst of the slain, with all her multitude, with her graves all around it, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword; though their terror was caused in the land of the living, yet they bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit; it was put in the midst of the slain.

vw@Ezekiel:32:26 @ There is Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitudes, with all their graves around it, all of them uncircumcised, slain by the sword, though they caused their terror in the land of the living.

vw@Ezekiel:32:27 @ They do not lie with the mighty of the uncircumcised who are fallen, who have gone down to Sheol with their weapons of war; they have laid their swords under their heads, but their iniquities will be on their bones, though the terror of the mighty was in the land of the living.

vw@Ezekiel:32:28 @ Yes, you shall be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised, and lie with those slain by the sword.

vw@Ezekiel:32:29 @ There is Edom, her kings and all her rulers, who with their might are laid beside those slain by the sword; they shall lie with the uncircumcised, and with those who go down to the Pit.

vw@Ezekiel:32:30 @ There are the rulers of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who have gone down with the slain, in shame at the terror which they caused by their might; they lie uncircumcised with those slain by the sword, and bear their shame with those who go down to the Pit.

vw@Ezekiel:32:31 @ Pharaoh will see them and be comforted over all his multitude, Pharaoh and all his army, slain by the sword, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:32:32 @ For I have caused My terror in the land of the living; and he shall be laid in the midst of the uncircumcised with those slain by the sword, Pharaoh and all his multitude, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:33:4 @ then whoever listens to hear the sound of the shofar and does not take warning, if the sword comes and takes him away, his blood shall be on his own head.

vw@Ezekiel:33:5 @ He heard the sound of the shofar, but did not take warning; his blood shall be upon himself. But he who takes warning will save his soul.

vw@Ezekiel:33:6 @ But if the watchman sees the sword coming and does not blow the shofar, and the people are not warned, and the sword comes and takes any soul from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity. But his blood I will require at the watchman’s hand.

vw@Ezekiel:33:7 @ So you, son of man: I have made you a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore you shall hear the Word from My mouth and warn them from Me.

vw@Ezekiel:33:8 @ When I say to the wicked, O wicked man, you shall die the death! and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood I will require at your hand.

vw@Ezekiel:33:9 @ Nevertheless if you warn the wicked to turn from his way, and he does not turn from his way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

vw@Ezekiel:33:10 @ Therefore you, O son of man, say to the house of Israel: Thus you say, If our transgressions and our sins lie upon us, and we pine away in them, how can we then live?

vw@Ezekiel:33:11 @ Say to them: As I live, declares the Lord Jehovah, I take no delight in the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turn from his way and live. Turn! Turn from your evil ways! For why will you die, O house of Israel?

vw@Ezekiel:33:12 @ Therefore you, O son of man, say to the children of your people: The righteousness of the righteous man shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression. As for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall because of it in the day that he turns from his wickedness; nor shall the righteous be able to live because of his righteousness in the day that he sins.

vw@Ezekiel:33:13 @ When I say to the righteous that he shall live life, but he trusts in his own righteousness and commits iniquity, none of all his righteousness shall be remembered; but because of the iniquity that he has done, he shall die.

vw@Ezekiel:33:14 @ Again, when I say to the wicked, You shall die the death; if he turns from his sin and does justice and righteousness,

vw@Ezekiel:33:16 @ None of all his sins which he has sinned shall be remembered against him; he has done justice and righteousness; he shall live life.

vw@Ezekiel:33:17 @ Yet the children of your people say, The way of Jehovah is not fair. But as for them, it is their way which is not fair!

vw@Ezekiel:33:18 @ When the righteous turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, he shall die because of it.

vw@Ezekiel:33:19 @ But when the wicked turns from his wickedness and does justice and righteousness, he shall live because of it.

vw@Ezekiel:33:20 @ Yet you say, The way of Jehovah is not fair. O house of Israel, I shall judge each one of you according to his ways.

vw@Ezekiel:33:24 @ Son of man, they who inhabit the ruins in the land of Israel are saying, Abraham was one, and he took possession of the land. But we are many; the land is given to us as a possession.

vw@Ezekiel:33:26 @ You rely on your sword, you commit abominations, and you defile each one his neighbor’s wife. Shall you then possess the land?

vw@Ezekiel:33:27 @ Say thus to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: As I live, surely those who are in the ruins shall fall by the sword, and the one who is in the open field I will give to the beasts to be devoured, and those who are in the strongholds and caves shall die of the pestilence.

vw@Ezekiel:33:28 @ For I will make the land a desolate waste, her arrogant strength shall cease, and the mountains of Israel shall be so desolate that no one will pass through.

vw@Ezekiel:33:30 @ As for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking about you beside the walls and in the doors of the houses; and they speak to one another, everyone saying to his brother, Please come and hear what the Word is that comes from Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:33:33 @ So when this comes to pass (surely it will come); then they will know that a prophet has been among them.

vw@Ezekiel:34:2 @ Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel, prophesy and say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah to the shepherds: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks?

vw@Ezekiel:34:12 @ As a shepherd seeks out his flock on the day he is among his scattered sheep, so will I seek out My sheep and deliver them from all the places where they were scattered on a cloudy and dark day.

vw@Ezekiel:34:13 @ And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the lands, and will bring them to their own land; I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the ravines and in all the dwelling places of the land.

vw@Ezekiel:34:14 @ I will feed them in a good pasture, and their fold shall be on the high mountains of Israel. There they shall lie down in a good fold and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:34:18 @ Is it a small thing for you to have eaten up the good pasture, that you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pasture; and to have drunk of the clear waters, that you must foul the rest with your feet?

vw@Ezekiel:34:23 @ I will raise up one Shepherd over them, and He shall feed them; My servant David. He shall feed them and be their Shepherd.

vw@Ezekiel:34:29 @ I will raise up for them a notable plantation, and they shall no longer be consumed with hunger in the land, nor bear the shame of the nations any more.

vw@Ezekiel:34:30 @ Thus they shall know that I, Jehovah their God, am with them, and they, the house of Israel, are My people, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:35:5 @ Because you have had an ancient hatred, and have shed the blood of the children of Israel by the power of the sword at the time of their calamity, when their iniquity had come to an end;

vw@Ezekiel:35:12 @ And you shall know that I am Jehovah. I have heard all your blasphemies which you have spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, They are desolate; they are given to us to consume.

vw@Ezekiel:35:15 @ As you rejoiced because the inheritance of the house of Israel was desolate, so I will do to you. You shall be desolate, O Mount Seir, as well as all of Edom; all of it! And they shall know that I am Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:36:1 @ And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say, O mountains of Israel, hear the Word of Jehovah!

vw@Ezekiel:36:4 @ therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the Word of the Lord Jehovah! Thus says the Lord Jehovah to the mountains, the hills, the rivers, the valleys, the desolate wastes, and the cities that have been forsaken, which became plunder and mockery to the rest of the nations all around;

vw@Ezekiel:36:6 @ Therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, the hills, the rivers, and the valleys, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I have spoken in My jealousy and My fury, because you have borne the shame of the nations.

vw@Ezekiel:36:7 @ Therefore thus says the Lord Jehovah: I have raised My hand and sworn that surely the nations that are around you shall bear their shame.

vw@Ezekiel:36:8 @ But you, O mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches and yield your fruit to My people Israel, for they are drawing near to come.

vw@Ezekiel:36:10 @ I will multiply men upon you, all the house of Israel, all of it; and the cities shall be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt.

vw@Ezekiel:36:12 @ Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, My people Israel; they shall take possession of you, and you shall be their inheritance; no more shall you bereave them.

vw@Ezekiel:36:17 @ Son of man, when the house of Israel dwelt in their land, they defiled it by their own ways and deeds. To Me their way was like the uncleanness of a woman in her menstrual impurity.

vw@Ezekiel:36:19 @ And I scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed throughout the earth. I judged them according to their ways and their deeds.

vw@Ezekiel:36:20 @ When they came to the nations, wherever they went, they profaned My holy name. They said of them, These are the people of Jehovah, and they have come out of His land.

vw@Ezekiel:36:21 @ But I had compassion for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, there where they went.

vw@Ezekiel:36:22 @ Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: I do not do this for your sake, O house of Israel, but for the sake of My holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, there where you went.

vw@Ezekiel:36:32 @ Let it be known to you that I do not do this for your sakes, says the Lord Jehovah. Be ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel!

vw@Ezekiel:36:35 @ And they will say, This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden; and the wasted, desolate, and ruined cities are now fortified and inhabited.

vw@Ezekiel:36:37 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: I will also be inquired of by the house of Israel, to do this for them. I will increase their men like a flock.

vw@Ezekiel:37:7 @ So I prophesied as I was commanded. And as I prophesied, there was a noise, and behold, a shaking; and the bones came together, bone to its bone.

vw@Ezekiel:37:11 @ Then He said to me, Son of man, these bones are the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, Our bones are dry, our hope is lost, and we ourselves are cut off!

vw@Ezekiel:37:12 @ Therefore prophesy and say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, O My people, I will open your graves and cause you to come up out of your graves, and bring you into the land of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:37:16 @ Moreover, son of man, take a stick for yourself and write on it: For Judah and for the children of Israel, his companions. Then take another stick and write on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the house of Israel, his companions.

vw@Ezekiel:37:19 @ say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, his companions; and I will join them with it, with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they will be one in My hand.

vw@Ezekiel:37:21 @ And say to them, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the children of Israel from among the nations, there where they have gone, and will gather them from every side and bring them into their own land;

vw@Ezekiel:37:22 @ and I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; they shall no longer be two nations, nor shall they ever be divided into two kingdoms again.

vw@Ezekiel:37:26 @ Moreover I will make a covenant of peace with them, and it shall be an everlasting covenant with them; I will establish them and multiply them, and I will set My sanctuary in their midst forever.

vw@Ezekiel:37:28 @ And the nations will know that I, Jehovah, sanctify Israel, when My sanctuary shall be in their midst forever.

vw@Ezekiel:38:8 @ After many days you will be visited. In the last final years you will come into the land of those brought back from the sword and gathered from many peoples on the mountains of Israel, which had long been desolate; they were brought out of the nations, and now all of them dwell safely.

vw@Ezekiel:38:10 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: On that day it shall come to pass that thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.

vw@Ezekiel:38:13 @ Sheba, Dedan, the merchants of Tarshish, and all their young lions will say to you, Have you come to plunder the spoils? Have you gathered your army to steal a prize, to carry away silver and gold, to take away livestock and goods, to plunder a great spoils?

vw@Ezekiel:38:14 @ Therefore, son of man, prophesy and say to Gog, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: On that day when My people Israel dwell safely, will you not know it?

vw@Ezekiel:38:16 @ And you will come up against My people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land. It shall be in the last final days that I will bring you against My land, so that the nations may know Me, when I am sanctified in you, O Gog, before their eyes.

vw@Ezekiel:38:17 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Are you he of whom I have spoken in former days by My servants the prophets of Israel, who prophesied for years in those days that I would bring you against them?

vw@Ezekiel:38:18 @ And it shall come to pass on that day, when Gog comes against the land of Israel, declares the Lord Jehovah, that My fury shall arise in My face.

vw@Ezekiel:38:19 @ For in My jealousy and in the fire of My wrath I have spoken. Surely in that day there shall be a great earthquake in the land of Israel,

vw@Ezekiel:38:21 @ I will call for a sword against him throughout all My mountains, declares the Lord Jehovah. Every man’s sword shall be against his brother.

vw@Ezekiel:38:22 @ And I will judge him with pestilence and blood; I will rain down upon him, on his troops, and on the many people who are with him, flooding rain, great hailstones, fire, and brimstone.

vw@Ezekiel:39:2 @ and I will turn you around and lead you on, bringing you up from the recesses of the north, and bring you upon the mountains of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:39:4 @ You shall fall upon the mountains of Israel, you and all your troops and the people who are with you. I will give you to the birds of prey of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be devoured.

vw@Ezekiel:39:7 @ Thus I will make My holy name known in the midst of My people Israel, and I will not let My holy name be profaned anymore. And the nations shall know that I am Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:39:9 @ And those who dwell in the cities of Israel will go out and set on fire and burn the weapons, both the shields and bucklers, the bows and arrows, the javelins and spears; and they shall kindle fires with them for seven years.

vw@Ezekiel:39:11 @ It will come to pass in that day that I will give Gog a burial place there in Israel, the valley of those who pass by east of the sea; and it will stop the noses of travelers, because there they will bury Gog and all his multitude. Therefore they will call it the Valley of Hamon Gog.

vw@Ezekiel:39:12 @ For seven months the house of Israel shall be burying them, in order to cleanse the land.

vw@Ezekiel:39:17 @ And as for you, son of man, thus says the Lord Jehovah, Speak to every sort of bird and to every beast of the field: Assemble yourselves and come; gather together from all sides to My sacrifice which I am sacrificing for you, a great sacrifice on the mountains of Israel, that you may eat flesh and drink blood.

vw@Ezekiel:39:22 @ Thus the house of Israel shall know that I am Jehovah their God from that day forward.

vw@Ezekiel:39:23 @ And the nations shall know that the house of Israel went into captivity for their iniquity; because they were unfaithful to Me, therefore I hid My face from them. I gave them into the hand of their enemies, and they all fell by the sword.

vw@Ezekiel:40:2 @ In the visions of God He brought me into the land of Israel and rested me on a very high mountain; on which toward the south was something like the structure of a city.

vw@Ezekiel:40:3 @ He brought me there, and behold, there was a man whose appearance was like the appearance of bronze. He had a line of flax and a measuring rod in his hand, and he stood in the gate.

vw@Ezekiel:40:4 @ And the man said to me, Son of man, look with your eyes and hear with your ears, and fix your mind on everything I show you; for you were brought here so that I might show them to you. Declare to the house of Israel everything you see.

vw@Ezekiel:40:16 @ And there were shuttered windows in the guardrooms and in their pillars on the inside of the gate all around, and likewise in the arches. There were windows all around on the inside. And on each pillar were palm trees.

vw@Ezekiel:40:18 @ The pavement was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates; this was the lower pavement.

vw@Ezekiel:40:21 @ Its guardrooms, three on this side and three on that side, its pillars and its arches, had the same measurements as the first gate; its length was fifty cubits and its width twenty-five cubits.

vw@Ezekiel:40:26 @ Seven steps led up to it, and its arches were in front of them; and it had palm trees on its pillars, one on this side and one on that side.

vw@Ezekiel:40:34 @ Its arches faced the outer court, and palm trees were on its pillars on this side and on that side; and going up to it were eight steps.

vw@Ezekiel:40:37 @ Its pillars faced the outer court, palm trees were on its pillars on this side and on that side, and going up to it were eight steps.

vw@Ezekiel:40:39 @ In the porch of the gate were two tables on this side and two tables on that side, on which to slay the burnt offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering.

vw@Ezekiel:40:41 @ Four tables were on this side and four tables on that side, by the side of the gate, eight tables on which they slaughtered the sacrifices.

vw@Ezekiel:40:45 @ Then he said to me, This room which faces south is for the priests who have charge of the house.

vw@Ezekiel:40:46 @ The room which faces north is for the priests who have charge of the altar; these are the sons of Zadok, from the sons of Levi, who come near Jehovah to serve Him.

vw@Ezekiel:40:48 @ And he brought me to the porch of the house and measured the pillars of the porch, five cubits on this side and five cubits on that side; and the width of the gate was three cubits on this side and three cubits on that side.

vw@Ezekiel:40:49 @ The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and the width eleven cubits; and by the steps which led up to it there were columns by the pillars, one on this side and another on that side.

vw@Ezekiel:41:2 @ And the width of the entryway was ten cubits, and the side walls of the entrance were five cubits on this side and five cubits on the other side; and he measured its length, forty cubits, and its width, twenty cubits.

vw@Ezekiel:41:4 @ He measured the length, twenty cubits; and the width, twenty cubits, beyond the sanctuary; and he said to me, This is the Holy of Holies.

vw@Ezekiel:41:8 @ I also saw the height of the house all around; the foundation of the side rooms was a full rod, that is, six cubits high.

vw@Ezekiel:41:22 @ The altar of wood, was three cubits high, and its length two cubits. Its corners, its length, and its sides were of wood. And he said to me, This is the table that is before Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:42:4 @ And in front of the rooms, toward the inside, was a walkway ten cubits wide, at a distance of one cubit; and their doors faced north.

vw@Ezekiel:42:13 @ Then he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms, which are opposite the separate area, are the holy rooms where the priests who approach Jehovah shall eat the set apart, holy, offerings. There they shall lay the set apart, holy, offerings; the grain offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering; for the place is holy.

vw@Ezekiel:42:14 @ When the priests enter them, they shall not go out of the holy room into the outer court; but there they shall leave their garments in which they minister, for they are holy. They shall put on other garments; then they may approach that which is for the people.

vw@Ezekiel:42:15 @ Now when he had finished measuring the inner house, he brought me out through the gate that faces toward the east, and measured it all around.

vw@Ezekiel:43:2 @ And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east. His voice was like the sound of many waters; and the earth shone with His glory.

vw@Ezekiel:43:3 @ It was like the appearance of the vision which I saw; like the vision which I saw when I came to destroy the city. The visions were like the vision which I saw by the River Chebar; and I fell on my face.

vw@Ezekiel:43:7 @ And He said to me, Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the children of Israel forever.

vw@Ezekiel:43:12 @ This is the law of the house: The entire region around the mountaintop is set apart, holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.

vw@Ezekiel:43:13 @ These are the measurements of the altar in cubits (the cubit is one cubit and a handbreadth): the base one cubit high and one cubit wide, with a rim all around its edge of one span. This is the upper part of the altar:

vw@Ezekiel:43:15 @ The altar hearth is four cubits high, with four horns extending upward from the hearth.

vw@Ezekiel:43:16 @ And the altar hearth is twelve cubits long, twelve wide, square at its four corners;

vw@Ezekiel:43:18 @ And He said to me, Son of man, thus says the Lord Jehovah: These are the ordinances for the altar on the day when it is made, for sacrificing burnt offerings on it, and for sprinkling blood on it.

vw@Ezekiel:43:22 @ On the second day you shall offer a kid of the goats that is whole for a sin offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bull.

vw@Ezekiel:43:23 @ When you have finished cleansing it, you shall offer a young bull that is whole, and a ram that is whole from the flock.

vw@Ezekiel:44:2 @ And Jehovah said to me, This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter by it, because Jehovah the God of Israel has entered by it; therefore it shall be shut.

vw@Ezekiel:44:3 @ As for the prince, because he is the prince, he may sit in it to eat bread before Jehovah; he shall enter by way of the porch of the gate, and go out the same way.

vw@Ezekiel:44:6 @ And say to the rebellious, to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord Jehovah: O house of Israel, Enough of all your abominations!

vw@Ezekiel:44:7 @ When you brought in foreigners, uncircumcised in heart and uncircumcised in flesh, to be in My sanctuary to defile it; My house; and when you offered My food, the fat and the blood, then they broke My covenant because of all your abominations.

vw@Ezekiel:44:9 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: No foreigner, uncircumcised in heart or uncircumcised in flesh, shall enter My sanctuary, including any son of a foreigner who is among the children of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:44:10 @ And the Levites who went far from Me, when Israel went astray, who strayed away from Me after their idols, they shall bear their iniquity.

vw@Ezekiel:44:11 @ Yet they shall be ministers in My sanctuary, as gatekeepers of the house and ministers of the house; they shall slay the burnt offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they shall stand before them to minister to them.

vw@Ezekiel:44:12 @ Because they ministered to them before their idols and caused the house of Israel to stumble into iniquity, therefore I have raised My hand and sworn against them, declares the Lord Jehovah; and they shall bear their iniquity.

vw@Ezekiel:44:15 @ But the priests, the Levites, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the children of Israel went astray from Me, they shall come near Me to serve Me; and they shall stand before Me to offer to Me the fat and the blood, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:44:17 @ And it shall be, that whenever they enter the gates of the inner court, that they shall put on linen garments; no wool shall come upon them while they minister within the gates of the inner court or within the house.

vw@Ezekiel:44:19 @ And when they go out to the outer court, to the outer court to the people, they shall take off their garments in which they have ministered, leave them in the holy rooms, and put on other garments; and in their own garments they shall not consecrate the people.

vw@Ezekiel:44:22 @ They shall not take as wife a widow or a divorced woman, but take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, or widows of priests.

vw@Ezekiel:44:23 @ And they shall teach My people the difference between the holy and the profane, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.

vw@Ezekiel:44:24 @ And in a dispute they shall stand as judges, and judge it according to My judgments. They shall keep My Laws and My statutes in all My appointed times, and they shall consecrate My Sabbaths.

vw@Ezekiel:44:25 @ They shall not defile themselves by coming near a dead person. Only for father or mother, for son or daughter, for brother or unmarried sister may they defile themselves.

vw@Ezekiel:44:26 @ After he is cleansed, they shall count seven days for him.

vw@Ezekiel:44:27 @ And on the day that he goes to the sanctuary to minister in the sanctuary, he shall offer his sin offering in the inner court, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:44:28 @ It shall be, in regard to their inheritance, that I am their inheritance. You shall give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession.

vw@Ezekiel:44:29 @ They shall eat the food offering, the sin offering, and the trespass offering; every dedicated thing in Israel shall be theirs.

vw@Ezekiel:45:2 @ Of this there shall be a square plot for the sanctuary, five hundred by five hundred rods, with fifty cubits around it for an open space.

vw@Ezekiel:45:3 @ So this is the district you shall measure: twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand wide; in it shall be the sanctuary, the Holy of Holies.

vw@Ezekiel:45:4 @ It shall be a holy portion of the land for the priests, the ministers of the sanctuary, who come near to serve Jehovah; it shall be a place for their houses and a sacred place for the sanctuary.

vw@Ezekiel:45:5 @ An area twenty-five thousand cubits long and ten thousand wide shall be for the Levites, the ministers of the house; they shall have twenty rooms as a possession.

vw@Ezekiel:45:6 @ You shall appoint as the property of the city an area five thousand cubits wide and twenty-five thousand long, next to the set-apart offerings; it shall belong to the whole house of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:45:8 @ The land shall be his possession in Israel; and My rulers shall no more oppress My people, but they shall give the rest of the land to the house of Israel, according to their tribes.

vw@Ezekiel:45:9 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: Enough, O rulers of Israel! Put away violence and plundering, execute justice and righteousness, and stop dispossessing My people, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:45:13 @ This is the offering which you shall offer: one-sixth of an ephah from a homer of wheat, and one-sixth of an ephah from a homer of barley.

vw@Ezekiel:45:14 @ The ordinance concerning oil, the bath of oil, is one-tenth of a bath from a kor. (A kor is a homer or ten baths, for ten baths are a homer.)

vw@Ezekiel:45:15 @ And one lamb shall be given from a flock of two hundred, from the watered land of Israel. These shall be for grain offerings, burnt offerings, and peace offerings, to make atonement for them, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:45:16 @ All the people of the land shall give this offering for the prince in Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:45:17 @ And it shall be the prince’s part to give burnt offerings, grain offerings, and drink offerings, at the feasts, the New Moons, the Sabbaths, and at all the appointed times of the house of Israel. He shall prepare the sin offering, the grain offering, the burnt offering, and the peace offerings to make atonement for the house of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:45:18 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: In the first month, on the first day of the month, you shall take a young bull that is whole and cleanse the sanctuary.

vw@Ezekiel:45:25 @ In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, at the feast, he shall do likewise for seven days, according to the sin offering, the burnt offering, the grain offering, and the oil.

vw@Ezekiel:46:2 @ And the prince shall enter by way of the porch of the gate from the outside, and stand by the gatepost. The priests shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings. He shall bow down at the threshold of the gate. Then he shall go out, but the gate shall not be shut until evening.

vw@Ezekiel:46:3 @ Likewise the people of the land shall bow down at the entrance to this gate before Jehovah on the Sabbaths and the new moons.

vw@Ezekiel:46:4 @ And the burnt offering that the prince offers to Jehovah on the Sabbath day shall be six lambs that are whole, and a ram that is whole;

vw@Ezekiel:46:6 @ On the day of the new moon it shall be a young bull from the herd that is whole, six lambs, and a ram; they shall be ones that are whole.

vw@Ezekiel:46:7 @ And he shall prepare a grain offering of an ephah for a bull, an ephah for a ram, as he is able for the lambs, and a hin of oil with every ephah.

vw@Ezekiel:46:11 @ At the feasts and the appointed times the grain offering shall be an ephah for a bull, an ephah for a ram, as he is able to give for the lambs, and a hin of oil with every ephah.

vw@Ezekiel:46:12 @ Now when the prince makes a voluntary burnt offering or voluntary peace offering to Jehovah, the gate that faces toward the east shall then be opened to him; and he shall prepare his burnt offering and his peace offerings as he did on the Sabbath day. Then he shall go out, and after he goes out the gate shall be shut.

vw@Ezekiel:46:13 @ You shall daily make a burnt offering to Jehovah of a lamb of the first year that is whole; you shall prepare it morning by morning.

vw@Ezekiel:46:14 @ And you shall prepare a grain offering with it every morning, a sixth of an ephah, and a third of a hin of oil to moisten the fine flour. This grain offering is a perpetual ordinance, to be made regularly to Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:46:16 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: If the prince gives a gift of some of his inheritance to any of his sons, it shall belong to his sons; it is their possession by inheritance.

vw@Ezekiel:46:17 @ But if he gives a gift of some of his inheritance to one of his servants, it shall be his until the year of liberty, after which it shall return to the prince. But his inheritance shall belong to his sons; it shall become theirs.

vw@Ezekiel:46:18 @ Moreover the prince shall not take any of the people’s inheritance by evicting them from their possession; he shall provide an inheritance for his sons from his own possession, so that none of My people may be scattered from his possession.

vw@Ezekiel:46:20 @ And he said to me, This is the place where the priests shall boil the trespass offering and the sin offering, and where they shall bake the grain offering, so that they do not bring them out into the outer court to consecrate the people.

vw@Ezekiel:46:24 @ And he said to me, These are the kitchens where the ministers of the house shall boil the sacrifices of the people.

vw@Ezekiel:47:3 @ And when the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, he measured one thousand cubits, and he brought me through the waters; the water came up to the ankles.

vw@Ezekiel:47:4 @ Again he measured one thousand and brought me through the waters; the water came up to the knees. Again he measured one thousand and brought me through; the water came up to the waist.

vw@Ezekiel:47:6 @ And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? And he brought me and returned me to the bank of the river.

vw@Ezekiel:47:8 @ Then he said to me: This water flows toward the eastern region, goes down into the wilderness, and enters the sea. When it reaches the sea, its waters are healed.

vw@Ezekiel:47:9 @ And it shall be that every living thing that swarms, wherever the rivers go, will live. There will be a very great multitude of fish, because these waters go there; for they will be healed, and everything will live wherever the river shall come.

vw@Ezekiel:47:10 @ It shall be that fishermen will stand by it from En Gedi to En Eglaim; they will be places for spreading their nets. Their fish will be of the same kinds as the fish of the Great Sea, exceedingly many.

vw@Ezekiel:47:12 @ And along the banks of the river, on this side and that, will grow all kinds of trees used for food; their leaves will not wither, and their fruit will not fail. They will bear fruit every month, because their water flows from the sanctuary. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.

vw@Ezekiel:47:13 @ Thus says the Lord Jehovah: These are the borders by which you shall divide the land as an inheritance among the twelve tribes of Israel. Joseph shall have two portions.

vw@Ezekiel:47:14 @ And you shall inherit it equally with one another; for I raised My hand and swore to give it to your fathers, and this land shall fall to you as your inheritance.

vw@Ezekiel:47:15 @ And this shall be the border of the land on the north: from the Great Sea, by the road to Hethlon, as one goes to Zedad,

vw@Ezekiel:47:16 @ Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim (which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath), to Hazar Hatticon (which is on the border of Hauran).

vw@Ezekiel:47:17 @ Thus the boundary shall be from the Sea to Hazar Enan, the border of Damascus; and as for the north, northward, it is the border of Hamath. This is the north side.

vw@Ezekiel:47:18 @ And on the east side you shall mark out the border from between Hauran and Damascus, and between Gilead and the land of Israel, along the Jordan, and to the Eastern Sea. This is the east side.

vw@Ezekiel:47:19 @ And the south side, toward the south, shall be from Tamar to the waters of Meribah by Kadesh, along the brook to the Great Sea. This is the south side, toward the South.

vw@Ezekiel:47:20 @ And the west side shall be the Great Sea, from the southern boundary until one comes to a point opposite Hamath. This is the west side.

vw@Ezekiel:47:21 @ Thus you shall divide this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:47:22 @ And it shall be that you will divide it by lot as an inheritance for yourselves, and for the strangers who sojourn among you and who bear children among you. They shall be to you as native-born among the children of Israel; they shall have an inheritance with you among the tribes of Israel.

vw@Ezekiel:47:23 @ And it shall be that in whatever tribe the stranger sojourns, there you shall give him his inheritance, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:48:10 @ And this holy offering shall belong to the priests; on the north twenty-five thousand cubits in length, on the west ten thousand in width, on the east ten thousand in width, and on the south twenty-five thousand in length. And the sanctuary of Jehovah shall be in the middle.

vw@Ezekiel:48:11 @ It shall be for the priests of the sons of Zadok, who are consecrated, who have kept My charge, who did not go astray when the children of Israel went astray, as the Levites went astray.

vw@Ezekiel:48:12 @ And this contribution of land that is offered shall be to them a thing set apart, holy, by the border of the Levites.

vw@Ezekiel:48:14 @ And they shall not sell or change any of it; nor pass through and take away the firstfruit of the land; for it is holy unto Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:48:19 @ And those who work in the city, from all the tribes of Israel, shall work it.

vw@Ezekiel:48:25 @ and by the border of Simeon, from the east side to the west, Issachar shall have one portion;

vw@Ezekiel:48:26 @ and by the border of Issachar, from the east side to the west, Zebulun shall have one portion;

vw@Ezekiel:48:29 @ This is the land which you shall divide by lot as an inheritance among the tribes of Israel, and these are their portions, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Ezekiel:48:31 @ (the gates of the city shall be named after the tribes of Israel), the three gates northward: one gate for Reuben, one gate for Judah, and one gate for Levi;

vw@Ezekiel:48:33 @ and on the south side, measuring four thousand five hundred cubits, three gates: one gate for Simeon, one gate for Issachar, and one gate for Zebulun;

vw@Ezekiel:48:35 @ All the way around shall be eighteen thousand cubits; and the name of the city from that day shall be, JEHOVAH IS THERE.

vw@Daniel:1:2 @ And the Lord gave Jehoiakim, king of Judah, into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God, which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god. And he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god.

vw@Daniel:1:3 @ And the king spoke to Ashpenaz, the chief of his officials that he should bring some of the sons of Israel, and of the king’s seed, and of the nobles,

vw@Daniel:1:4 @ young men in whom was no blemish, but who were of good appearance and having understanding in all wisdom, having knowledge and understanding science, even those with ability in them to stand in the king’s palace; to teach them the literature and language of the Chaldeans.

vw@Daniel:1:5 @ And the king appointed for them a daily portion every day, from the king’s food, and of the wine which he drank, even to raise them three years, so that at the end of that time they might stand before the king.

vw@Daniel:1:6 @ And there were among those of the sons of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

vw@Daniel:1:7 @ to whom the chief of the officials gave names. For he called Daniel, Belteshazzar; and Hananiah, Shadrach; and Mishael, Meshach; and Azariah, Abednego.

vw@Daniel:1:8 @ And Daniel determined in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king’s food, or with the wine which he drank. So he asked of the chief of the officials that he might not defile himself.

vw@Daniel:1:11 @ And Daniel said to Melzar, whom the chief of the officials had set over Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah,

vw@Daniel:1:14 @ And he consented to them in this matter and tested them ten days.

vw@Daniel:1:17 @ As for these four boys, God gave them knowledge and skill in all literature and wisdom. And Daniel had understanding in all visions and dreams.

vw@Daniel:1:19 @ And the king talked with them. And among them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they served before the king.

vw@Daniel:1:20 @ And in any matter of wisdom and understanding that the king inquired of them, he found them to be ten times better than all the magicians and conjurers who were in all his kingdom.

vw@Daniel:2:1 @ And in the second year of the reign of Nebuchadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar was dreaming dreams, and his spirit was troubled, and his sleep left him.

vw@Daniel:2:2 @ And the king commanded to call the magicians, and the conjurers, and the sorcerers and the Chaldeans, to declare to the king his dreams. And they came and stood before the king.

vw@Daniel:2:3 @ And the king said to them, I have dreamed a dream, and my spirit is troubled to know the dream.

vw@Daniel:2:5 @ The king answered and said to the Chaldeans, The command is gone from me. If you will not make known the dream and its interpretation to me, you will be cut in pieces, and your houses shall be made an outhouse.

vw@Daniel:2:7 @ They again replied and said, Let the king tell his servants the dream, and we will explain its interpretation.

vw@Daniel:2:8 @ The king answered and said, I know that you would buy time, because you see that the command is gone from me.

vw@Daniel:2:9 @ But if you will not make the dream known to me, there is one law for you. For you have agreed upon lying and deceiving words to speak before me until the time has changed. Therefore, tell me the dream, then I shall know that you have the ability to explain the interpretation to me.

vw@Daniel:2:10 @ The Chaldeans replied before the king and said, There is not a man on the earth who can declare the king’s matter, because not any king, lord, or ruler has asked such a thing from any magician, or conjurer, or Chaldean.

vw@Daniel:2:11 @ And the thing that the king asks is rare. And there is no other who can declare it before the king, except the gods, whose dwelling is not with flesh.

vw@Daniel:2:12 @ Because of all this the king was enraged and angered. And he commanded all the wise men of Babylon to be destroyed.

vw@Daniel:2:13 @ And the law went out that the wise men should be killed. And they searched for Daniel and his companions, to be killed.

vw@Daniel:2:14 @ Then Daniel answered with counsel and discretion to Arioch the chief of the king’s guard, who had gone out to kill the wise men of Babylon.

vw@Daniel:2:15 @ He answered and said to Arioch, the king’s officer, Why is the decree so hasty from the king? And Arioch made the thing known to Daniel.

vw@Daniel:2:17 @ Then Daniel went to his house and made the matter known to Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, his companions,

vw@Daniel:2:18 @ that they might pray for the mercies of God in Heaven concerning this secret, that Daniel and his companions should not perish with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

vw@Daniel:2:19 @ Then the secret was revealed to Daniel in a night vision, and Daniel blessed the God of Heaven.

vw@Daniel:2:20 @ Daniel answered and said, Blessed be the name of God forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His.

vw@Daniel:2:21 @ And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings, and sets up kings; He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding.

vw@Daniel:2:22 @ He reveals the deep and secret things; He knows what is in the darkness, and light dwells in Him.

vw@Daniel:2:23 @ I thank You and praise You, O God of my fathers, who has given me wisdom and might, and has made known to me what we asked of You. For You have made known to us the king’s matter.

vw@Daniel:2:24 @ Then Daniel went to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon. He went and said this to him, Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon. Bring me before the king, and I will declare the interpretation to the king.

vw@Daniel:2:25 @ Then Arioch quickly brought Daniel before the king and spoke this to him, I have found a man of the captives of Judah who will make the interpretation known to the king.

vw@Daniel:2:27 @ Daniel replied before the king and said, The secret which the king has demanded cannot be declared to the king by the wise men, the conjurers, the magicians, or the fortunetellers.

vw@Daniel:2:28 @ But there is a God in Heaven who reveals secrets, and makes known to King Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Your dream, and the visions of your head on your bed, are these:

vw@Daniel:2:29 @ As for you, O king, thoughts came to you on your bed, about what should come to pass after this. And He who reveals secrets makes known to you what shall come to pass.

vw@Daniel:2:30 @ But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living man, but in order that the interpretation might be made known to the king, and that you might know the thoughts of your heart.

vw@Daniel:2:31 @ You, O king, were watching, and behold, a certain great image! This great image stood before you with extraordinary brightness, and its form was dreadful.

vw@Daniel:2:32 @ The head of this image was of fine gold, its chest and its arms of silver, its belly and its thighs of bronze,

vw@Daniel:2:36 @ This is the dream. Now we will tell the interpretation of it before the king.

vw@Daniel:2:38 @ And wherever the sons of men, the animals of the field, and the birds of the sky dwell, He has given them into your hand, and has made you ruler over them all. You are this head of gold.

vw@Daniel:2:39 @ And in your place shall arise another kingdom inferior to yours, and another third kingdom of bronze, which shall rule over all the earth.

vw@Daniel:2:45 @ Inasmuch as you saw that the stone was cut out of the mountain without hands, and that it broke the iron, the bronze, the clay, the silver, and the gold in pieces, the Great God has made known to the king what shall come to pass after this. And the dream is certain, and the interpretation of it is sure.

vw@Daniel:2:46 @ Then King Nebuchadnezzar fell on his face prostrate before Daniel. And he commanded that they present an offering to him with incense.

vw@Daniel:2:47 @ The king answered Daniel and said, Your God truly is a God of gods and a Lord of kings, and a Revealer of secrets, since you could reveal this secret.

vw@Daniel:2:48 @ Then the king made Daniel great and gave him many great gifts. And he made him ruler over all the province of Babylon, and chief of the governors over all the wise men of Babylon.

vw@Daniel:3:4 @ Then the herald cried with strength: To you it is commanded O peoples, nations, and languages,

vw@Daniel:3:12 @ There are certain Jews whom you have set over the administration of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, do not give due regard to you. They do not serve your gods nor prostrate themselves before the golden image which you have set up.

vw@Daniel:3:14 @ Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said to them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that you do not serve my gods, nor prostrate yourselves before the golden image which I have set up?

vw@Daniel:3:15 @ Now if you are ready, at the time you hear the sound of the horn, the pipe, zither, the lyre, harp, and bagpipe, and all kinds of music, fall down and prostrate yourselves before the image which I have made. But if you do not prostrate yourselves, in that moment you shall be thrown into the middle of a burning fiery furnace. And who is that god who shall deliver you out of my hand?

vw@Daniel:3:16 @ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter.

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

vw@Daniel:3:19 @ Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with wrath, and the form of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. He spoke and commanded that they heat the furnace seven times more than it was usual to heat it.

vw@Daniel:3:20 @ And he commanded mighty men of valor from his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to throw them into the burning fiery furnace.

vw@Daniel:3:24 @ Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was startled. And he rose up in haste; he spoke and said to his counselors, Did we not throw three men bound into the middle of the fire? They replied and said to the king, True, O king.

vw@Daniel:3:25 @ He answered and said, Behold! I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and there is no harm to them. And the form of the fourth is like the son of a god.

vw@Daniel:3:28 @ Nebuchadnezzar spoke and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent His Angel and has delivered His servants who trusted in Him, and have changed the king’s words, and have given their bodies that they might not serve nor prostrate themselves before any god except their own God.

vw@Daniel:3:29 @ Therefore I make a decree; that every people, nation, and language who speak anything amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut into pieces and his house shall be made into an outhouse; because there is no other god who is able to deliver like this.

vw@Daniel:4:3 @ How great are His signs! And how mighty are His wonders! His kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and His dominion is from generation to generation.

vw@Daniel:4:4 @ I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at ease in my house, and flourishing in my palace.

vw@Daniel:4:5 @ I saw a dream which terrified me, and the thoughts on my bed and visions of my head troubled me.

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

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

vw@Daniel:4:9 @ O Belteshazzar, master of the magicians, because I know that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and no secret troubles you, tell me the visions of my dream that I have seen, and its interpretation.

vw@Daniel:4:10 @ As for the visions of my head on my bed, I was looking, and, behold, a tree was in the middle of the earth. And its height was great.

vw@Daniel:4:11 @ The tree became great and strong, and its height reached to the heavens, and it was visible to the ends of all the earth.

vw@Daniel:4:13 @ I saw in the visions of my head on my bed, and behold, a watcher, even a holy one, came down from the heavens.

vw@Daniel:4:14 @ He cried with might and said this: Cut down the tree and cut off its branches. Shake off its leaves and scatter its fruit. Let the beasts flee from under it, and the birds from its branches.

vw@Daniel:4:15 @ Nevertheless leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the grass of the field. And let it be wet with the dew of the heavens, and let his portion be with the beasts in the grass of the earth.

vw@Daniel:4:16 @ Let his heart be changed from that of a man, and let him be given the heart of a beast. And let seven times pass over him.

vw@Daniel:4:17 @ This sentence is by the decree of the watchers, and the command by the word of the holy ones, in order that the living may know that the Most High rules in the kingdom of men and gives it to whomever He wills, and sets up over it the lowest of men.

vw@Daniel:4:18 @ I, Nebuchadnezzar, have seen this dream. Now you, O Belteshazzar, declare its interpretation, since all the wise men of my kingdom are not able to make known the interpretation to me. But you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.

vw@Daniel:4:19 @ Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was stunned for a time, and his thoughts troubled him. So the king spoke and said, O Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation trouble you. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, may the dream be to those who hate you, and its interpretation to your enemies!

vw@Daniel:4:20 @ The tree that you saw, which became great and strong, whose height reached to the heavens and was visible to all the earth,

vw@Daniel:4:22 @ It is you, O king, for you have become great and strong; for your greatness has grown and reaches to the heavens, and your dominion to the ends of the earth.

vw@Daniel:4:23 @ And whereas the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from the heavens, and saying, Cut the tree down, and destroy it. Yet leave the stump of its roots in the earth, even with a band of iron and bronze, in the grass of the field. And let him be wet with the dew of the heavens, and his portion with the beasts of the field, until seven times pass over him.

vw@Daniel:4:24 @ This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king:

vw@Daniel:4:25 @ And you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. And you shall be fed with grass like oxen. And you shall be wet with dew of the heavens; and seven times shall pass over you until you know that the Most High is Ruler in the kingdom of men, and He gives it to whomever He desires.

vw@Daniel:4:28 @ All this came upon King Nebuchadnezzar.

vw@Daniel:4:30 @ The king spoke and said, Is this not great Babylon that I have built for the house of the kingdom, by the might of my power, and for the honor of my majesty?

vw@Daniel:4:31 @ While the word was still in the king’s mouth a voice fell from the heavens, saying, O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared: The kingdom has been taken away from you!

vw@Daniel:4:32 @ And you shall be driven from men, and your dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field. You shall be fed with grass like oxen, and seven times shall pass over you until you know that the Most High is Ruler in the kingdom of men, and that He gives it to whomever He desires.

vw@Daniel:4:33 @ That very hour the word was fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar. And he was driven from men, and he ate grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the heavens, until his hair had grown like eagles’ feathers, and his nails like birds’ claws.

vw@Daniel:4:34 @ And at the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifted up my eyes to the heavens, and my understanding returned to me, and I blessed the Most High. And I praised and honored Him who lives forever, whose dominion is an eternal dominion, and His rule from generation to generation.

vw@Daniel:4:35 @ And all those living in the earth are counted as nothing. And He does according to His will in the army of Heaven, and among those living in the earth. And no one is able to restrain His hand or say to Him, What are You doing?

vw@Daniel:4:36 @ At that time my reason returned to me, and the glory of my kingdom, my majesty, and my splendor returned to me. And my counselors and my nobles sought to me. And I was reestablished in my kingdom, and excellent greatness was added to me.

vw@Daniel:4:37 @ Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise and exalt and honor the King of Heaven, for all His works are truth, and His ways are justice. And He is able to humble those who walk in pride.

vw@Daniel:5:1 @ Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his nobles. And he drank wine before the thousand.

vw@Daniel:5:2 @ While tasting the wine, Belshazzar commanded the golden and silver vessels to be brought, those his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem, that the king and his nobles, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them.

vw@Daniel:5:3 @ Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God in Jerusalem. And the king, his nobles, his wives, and his concubines drank from them.

vw@Daniel:5:4 @ They drank wine and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, and of bronze, of iron, wood, and stone.

vw@Daniel:5:6 @ Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins shook, and his knees knocked one against the other.

vw@Daniel:5:7 @ The king cried aloud to bring in the conjurers, the Chaldeans, and the fortunetellers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever can read this writing and explain its interpretation shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold around his neck. And he shall rule third in the kingdom.

vw@Daniel:5:8 @ Then all the king’s wise men came in. But they could not read the writing or make the interpretation known to the king.

vw@Daniel:5:9 @ Then King Belshazzar was greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed, and his nobles were perplexed.

vw@Daniel:5:10 @ The queen came into the banquet house because of the words of the king and his nobles. The queen spoke and said, O king, live forever. Do not let your thoughts terrify you, and do not let your countenance be changed.

vw@Daniel:5:11 @ There is a man in your kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods. And in the days of your father, light and understanding and wisdom were found in him, like the wisdom of the gods. Your father, King Nebuchadnezzar, your father the king, appointed him master of the magicians, conjurers, Chaldeans and fortunetellers;

vw@Daniel:5:12 @ because an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and declaring riddles, and the solving of problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Now let Daniel be called, and he will give the interpretation.

vw@Daniel:5:13 @ Then Daniel was thrust in before the king. And the king spoke and said to Daniel, Are you that Daniel who is of the sons of the captives of Judah, whom my father the king brought out of Judah?

vw@Daniel:5:14 @ I have even heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and light, and excellent wisdom, and understanding are found in you.

vw@Daniel:5:15 @ And now, the wise men and the conjurers have been thrust in before me, so that they might read this writing and make the interpretation known to me. But they were not able to declare the interpretation of the thing.

vw@Daniel:5:20 @ But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from the throne of his kingdom, and they took his glory from him.

vw@Daniel:5:21 @ And he was driven from the sons of men. And his heart was made like the animals, and his home was with the wild asses. They fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of the heavens, until he knew that the Most High God is Ruler in the kingdom of men, and that He appoints over it whomever He desires.

vw@Daniel:5:22 @ And you, his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this.

vw@Daniel:5:23 @ But you have lifted yourself up against the Lord of Heaven. And they have brought the vessels of His house before you. And you, and your nobles, your wives, and your concubines have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver, and gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see, nor hear, and do not know. And you have not glorified the God in whose hand your life, breath, and all your ways is.

vw@Daniel:5:24 @ Then the part of the hand was sent from Him, and this writing was written.

vw@Daniel:5:25 @ And this is the writing that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

vw@Daniel:5:26 @ This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE: God has numbered your kingdom and finished it.

vw@Daniel:5:28 @ PERES: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.

vw@Daniel:5:29 @ Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with purple, and put a necklace of gold around his neck. And they made a proclamation concerning him, that he should rule third in the kingdom.

vw@Daniel:6:3 @ Then this Daniel distinguished himself above the presidents and satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him. And the king was thinking to set him over all the kingdom.

vw@Daniel:6:5 @ Then these men said, We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel unless we find it against him concerning the Law of his God.

vw@Daniel:6:6 @ Then these presidents and satraps gathered together to the king and said this to him, King Darius, live forever.

vw@Daniel:6:7 @ All the presidents of the kingdom, the prefects, and the satraps, the officials and the governors, have planned together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whoever shall ask a petition of any god or man for thirty days, except from you, O king, shall be thrown into the den of lions.

vw@Daniel:6:8 @ Now, O king, establish the decree and sign the document, so that it may not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not pass away.

vw@Daniel:6:10 @ And when he had learned that the document was signed, Daniel went to his house. And in his roof room, with his windows open toward Jerusalem, he knelt on his knees three times a day, and prayed and praised before his God, as he did before.

vw@Daniel:6:11 @ Then these men conspired together and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God.

vw@Daniel:6:12 @ Then they came near and spoke before the king concerning the king’s decree, saying, Have you not signed a decree that every man who shall ask of any god or man within thirty days, except of you, O king, that he shall be thrown into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is certain, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which does not pass away.

vw@Daniel:6:13 @ Then they answered and said before the king, Daniel, who is of the sons of the captives from Judah, does not show due regard to you, O king, or the decree that you have signed, but he makes his petition three times a day.

vw@Daniel:6:14 @ Then the king, when he heard these words, was very displeased with himself, and he set his heart on Daniel, to deliver him. And he labored until the going down of the sun to deliver him.

vw@Daniel:6:15 @ Then these men met before the king and said to the king, O king, know that the law of the Medes and Persians is that no decree or law which the king establishes may be changed.

vw@Daniel:6:17 @ And a stone was brought and laid on the mouth of the den. And the king sealed it with his own signet, and with the signet of his nobles, that the matter concerning Daniel might not be changed.

vw@Daniel:6:18 @ Then the king went to his palace and spent the night fasting; and no entertainment was brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.

vw@Daniel:6:20 @ And when he came to the den, he cried with a grieving voice to Daniel. The king spoke and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, your God whom you always serve, is He able to deliver you from the lions?

vw@Daniel:6:22 @ My God has sent His Angel, and He has shut the mouths of the lions. And they have not harmed me, because in His sight innocence was found in me. And also before you, O king, I have done no harm.

vw@Daniel:6:23 @ Then the king was exceedingly glad over him. And he commanded to bring up Daniel from the den. And Daniel was brought out of the den, and no harm was found on him, because he trusted in his God.

vw@Daniel:6:26 @ I make a decree, that in every domain of my kingdom there shall be trembling and fear before the God of Daniel. For He is the living God and endures forever, and His kingdom is the one which shall not be destroyed. And His rule shall be to the end.

vw@Daniel:6:28 @ So this Daniel was made to prosper in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

vw@Daniel:7:1 @ In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and visions of his head on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, telling the main points.

vw@Daniel:7:2 @ Daniel spoke and said, In my vision by night I was looking. And, behold, the four winds of the heavens were stirring up the Great Sea.

vw@Daniel:7:5 @ And, behold, another beast, a second, like a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth. And they said this to it, Rise up, devour much flesh.

vw@Daniel:7:6 @ After this I was looking, and, behold, another like a leopard, and it had four wings of a bird on its back. And also the beast had four heads. And dominion was given to it.

vw@Daniel:7:7 @ And after this I was looking in the night visions. And, behold, the fourth beast was frightening and terrifying, and very strong! And it had great iron teeth. It devoured, and broke in pieces, and stamped what was left with its feet. And it was different from all the beasts before it; and it had ten horns.

vw@Daniel:7:8 @ I was contemplating the horns. And behold, another little horn came up among them, and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.

vw@Daniel:7:9 @ I watched until the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of Days sat, whose robe was white as snow and the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was like flames of fire, its wheels like burning fire.

vw@Daniel:7:11 @ Then I was watching because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke. I was watching until the beast was killed, and his body was destroyed and given to the burning flame.

vw@Daniel:7:13 @ I saw in the night visions. And behold, one like the Son of Man came with the clouds of the heavens. And He came to the Ancient of Days. And they brought Him near before Him.

vw@Daniel:7:14 @ And dominion was given to Him, and glory, and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion which shall not pass away, and His kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

vw@Daniel:7:15 @ I, Daniel, was distressed in my spirit within my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.

vw@Daniel:7:16 @ And I came near one of those who stood by and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me and made me know the interpretation of the things.

vw@Daniel:7:17 @ These great beasts which are four, are four kings which shall rise up out of the earth.

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

vw@Daniel:7:24 @ And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings; they shall rise, and another shall rise after them. And he shall be different from the first, and he shall abase three kings.

vw@Daniel:7:25 @ And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall continually harass the saints of the Most High. And he shall intend to change times and law. And they shall be given into his hand for a period of a time and times and one half time.

vw@Daniel:7:26 @ But the court shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy until the end.

vw@Daniel:7:27 @ And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heavens shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.

vw@Daniel:7:28 @ Thus far is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts terrified me much, and my countenance changed in me. But I kept the matter in my heart.

vw@Daniel:8:1 @ In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after that which appeared to me the first time.

vw@Daniel:8:2 @ And I saw in the vision, and it happened when I looked that I was at Shushan, the palace, which is in the province of Elam. And in the vision I saw that I was by the Ulai River.

vw@Daniel:8:4 @ I saw the ram pushing westward and northward and southward, so that no beasts could stand before him, and no one could deliver out of his hand. But he did according to his will and became great.

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

vw@Daniel:8:7 @ And I saw him come close to the ram. And he was enraged against him. And he struck the ram and broke his two horns. And there was no power in the ram to stand before him. But he threw him down to the ground and trampled him. And there was no one that could deliver the ram from his hand.

vw@Daniel:8:11 @ He magnified himself even to the Prince of the host. And the regular sacrifice was taken away by him, and the foundation of His sanctuary was cast down.

vw@Daniel:8:12 @ And a host was assigned to him against the regular sacrifice because of transgression. And he cast truth down to the ground. He did all this and prospered.

vw@Daniel:8:13 @ Then I heard a certain holy one speaking, and another holy one said to the one who spoke, For how long is the vision, concerning the regular sacrifice and the transgression of desolation, to permit both the holy place and the host to be trampled?

vw@Daniel:8:15 @ And it happened when I, Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought the understanding, that behold, one having the appearance of a man stood before me.

vw@Daniel:8:16 @ And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of Ulai, and he called and said, Gabriel, make this one understand the vision.

vw@Daniel:8:17 @ And he came near where I stood. And when he came, I was afraid and fell on my face. But he said to me, O son of man, understand that the vision is about the time of the end.

vw@Daniel:8:21 @ And the male goat is the king of Greece. And the great horn between his eyes is the first king.

vw@Daniel:8:23 @ And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king shall stand forth, having fierce countenance and understanding sinister schemes.

vw@Daniel:8:24 @ And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power. And he shall destroy extraordinarily, and he shall prosper, and work, and destroy the mighty and the holy people.

vw@Daniel:8:25 @ And also through his cunning he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand. And he will magnify himself in his heart, and through prosperity shall destroy many. He shall also stand up against the Ruler of rulers, but he shall be broken in pieces without hands.

vw@Daniel:8:26 @ And the morning and evening vision that was told is true. But you shall close up the vision, for it is yet for many days.

vw@Daniel:8:27 @ And I, Daniel, fainted and was sick for days. Afterward, I got up and did the king’s business. And I was astonished at the vision, but did not understand it.

vw@Daniel:9:2 @ in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood the number of the years by the books, from the Word of Jehovah to Jeremiah the prophet, that He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.

vw@Daniel:9:4 @ And I prayed to Jehovah my God, and made my confession, saying, O Lord, the great and awesome Mighty God, keeping the covenant and mercy with those who love Him, and with those who keep His commandments,

vw@Daniel:9:7 @ O Lord, righteousness belongs to You, but to us the shame of face, as it is this day to the men of Judah, and to those living in Jerusalem, and to all Israel, who are near and who are afar in all the lands where You have driven them for their unfaithfulness which they have trespassed against You.

vw@Daniel:9:10 @ We have not obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in His laws which he set before us by His servants the prophets.

vw@Daniel:9:11 @ Yea, all Israel has transgressed Your Law and turned aside so as not to obey Your voice. For this reason the curse has poured out on us, and the oath that is written in the Law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him.

vw@Daniel:9:12 @ And He has confirmed His Words which He spoke against us, and against our judges who judged us, by bringing on us a great evil. For under the whole heavens it has never been done as has been done to Jerusalem.

vw@Daniel:9:13 @ As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this evil has come on us. Yet we did not make our prayer before Jehovah our God that we might turn from our depravities and understand Your truth.

vw@Daniel:9:14 @ And Jehovah has looked on the evil and has brought it upon us. For Jehovah our God is righteous in all His works which He does. For we did not obey His voice.

vw@Daniel:9:15 @ And now, O Lord our God, who brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and made for Yourself a name, as it is this day; we have sinned; we have done wickedly.

vw@Daniel:9:17 @ And now, hear, O our God, the prayer of Your servant and his supplications, and cause Your face to shine on Your sanctuary that is desolate, for the sake of the Lord.

vw@Daniel:9:18 @ O my God, bow down Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city which is called by Your name. For we do not make our supplications before You on account of our righteousness, but because of Your great mercies.

vw@Daniel:9:20 @ And while I was speaking and praying and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and prostrating with my supplication before Jehovah my God for the holy mountain of my God,

vw@Daniel:9:21 @ and while I was speaking in prayer, then the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, reached me as I was weary and faint, about the time of the evening sacrifice.

vw@Daniel:9:23 @ At the beginning of your prayers the word came forth, and I have come to explain it. For you are greatly beloved. Therefore consider the matter and understand the vision:

vw@Daniel:9:24 @ Seventy weeks are decreed regarding your people, and regarding your holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make atonement for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the Holy of Holies.

vw@Daniel:9:25 @ Know, therefore, and understand that from the going forth of the word to restore and to rebuild Jerusalem, to Messiah the Prince, shall be seven weeks and sixty two weeks. The street shall be built again, and the wall, even in times of distress.

vw@Daniel:10:1 @ In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a word was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar. And the word was true, but the appointed time was long. And he understood the word and had understanding of the vision.

vw@Daniel:10:4 @ And in the twenty fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, which is Tigris,

vw@Daniel:10:6 @ His body was also like the beryl, and his face looked like lightning. And his eyes were like torches of fire; and his arms and his feet in color like polished bronze; and the sound of his words was like the sound of a multitude.

vw@Daniel:10:7 @ And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision. For the men who were with me did not see the vision. But a great trembling fell on them so that they fled to hide themselves.

vw@Daniel:10:8 @ Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me. For my glory was turned within me into corruption, and I had no strength.

vw@Daniel:10:9 @ Yet I heard the sound of his words. And when I heard the sound of his words, then I was on my face, in a deep sleep, and my face was toward the ground.

vw@Daniel:10:11 @ And he said to me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you and stand up, for I am now sent to you. And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood, trembling.

vw@Daniel:10:14 @ Now I have come to make you understand what shall happen to your people in the latter days. For the vision is yet for many days.

vw@Daniel:10:16 @ And, behold, one resembling the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who stood before me, O my lord, my distress has overwhelmed me because of the vision, and I have no strength left.

vw@Daniel:10:17 @ For how can this servant of my lord speak with you my lord? For as for me, there is no strength left in me; nor is there breath left in me.

vw@Daniel:10:21 @ But I will tell you what is written in the Scripture of Truth. (And no one holds strong with me in these things, except Michael your ruler.

vw@Daniel:11:2 @ And now I will declare the truth to you: Behold, three more kings shall stand up in Persia; and the fourth shall be rich in all greater riches. And when he is strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece.

vw@Daniel:11:3 @ And a mighty king shall stand up who shall rule with great authority and do according to his will.

vw@Daniel:11:4 @ And when he stands up his kingdom shall be broken in pieces and shall be divided to the four winds of the heavens, and not to his posterity, nor according to his authority with which he ruled. For his kingdom shall be plucked up and given to others besides these.

vw@Daniel:11:5 @ And the king of the south shall be strong. And one of his rulers, even he will gain strength over him, and he will rule. His dominion shall be a great dominion.

vw@Daniel:11:6 @ And at the end of years they shall join together, and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement. But she shall not retain the power of the arm. And he will not stand, nor his arm. But she and those who brought her shall be given up, as well as the one who begot her and who supported her in these times.

vw@Daniel:11:7 @ But out of the shoots of her roots one will stand in his place, and he shall come with an army and will enter into the fortress of the king of the north. And he will act against them and prevail.

vw@Daniel:11:9 @ And the king of the south will come into his kingdom and will return to his own land.

vw@Daniel:11:10 @ But his sons shall be stirred up and shall gather a multitude of great forces. And one certainly shall come and overflow and pass through. And he will return to his fortress and be stirred up.

vw@Daniel:11:11 @ And the king of the south will be bitter and will go out and fight with him, with the king of the north. And he shall raise a great multitude, but the multitude shall be given into his hand.

vw@Daniel:11:12 @ And when he has carried away the multitude, his heart will be lifted up. And he will cause a vast innumerable number to fall, but he will not prevail.

vw@Daniel:11:13 @ For the king of the north shall return and raise a greater multitude than the former. And at the end of some years, he shall come to attack with a great army and with much equipment.

vw@Daniel:11:14 @ And in those times many shall stand up against the king of the south. And the sons of the violent ones of your people shall rise up to fulfill the vision, but they shall stumble.

vw@Daniel:11:15 @ So the king of the north shall come and build up a siege mound and seize a fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not stand, nor his choice people, for there will be no strength to resist.

vw@Daniel:11:16 @ But he who comes against him will do as he desires, and no one shall stand before him. And he shall stand in the glorious land, with destruction in his hand.

vw@Daniel:11:17 @ And he shall set his face to go in with the might of his whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do. And he shall give the daughter of women to him, to destroy it. But she shall not stand, nor be for him.

vw@Daniel:11:18 @ After this he shall turn his face to the coastlands and shall capture many. But a ruler shall make his reproach cease for him, but his reproach shall return to him.

vw@Daniel:11:19 @ And he shall turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will stumble and fall and not be found.

vw@Daniel:11:20 @ Then one who imposes taxes shall stand in his place, in the glorious kingdom. But within a few days he will be broken in pieces, but not in anger nor in battle.

vw@Daniel:11:21 @ And a vile person shall stand up in his place, and they shall not give to him the honor as king. But he shall come in with quietness and obtain the kingdom by intrigues.

vw@Daniel:11:24 @ He will go in peaceably, even into the rich places of the province. And he shall do what his fathers have not done, nor his fathers’ fathers. He shall plunder and spoil and scatter goods among them. And he shall devise his plots against the strongholds, even for a time.

vw@Daniel:11:25 @ And he will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army. And the king of the south will be stirred up to battle with a great and very mighty army. But he shall not stand, for they will devise plots against him.

vw@Daniel:11:26 @ Yea, those who eat his food shall destroy him, and his army shall overflow. And many will fall down slain.

vw@Daniel:11:28 @ And he will return to his land with great wealth. And his heart shall be against the holy covenant. And he will act, and he shall return to his own land.

vw@Daniel:11:34 @ And when they shall stumble, they will be helped with a little help. But many will join them with hypocrisy.

vw@Daniel:11:35 @ And some of those who understand shall stumble, to refine and to purge them, and to make them white, unto the time of the end; for it is yet for the appointed time.

vw@Daniel:11:36 @ And the king shall do according to his own will. And he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god; he shall even speak extraordinary things against the Mighty God of gods and shall prosper until the indignation is complete. For that which is decreed shall be done.

vw@Daniel:11:37 @ He shall not regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women; nor regard any god. For he shall magnify himself above them all.

vw@Daniel:11:38 @ But in his place he shall honor the god of fortresses, and he shall honor a god whom his fathers did not know, with gold and silver and with precious stones, and desirable things.

vw@Daniel:11:41 @ And he shall enter into the glorious land, and many will stumble. But these shall escape out of his hand: Edom and Moab, and the chief of the sons of Ammon.

vw@Daniel:11:42 @ He will stretch out his hand against the lands, and the land of Egypt shall not escape.

vw@Daniel:11:43 @ But he will rule over the treasures of gold and silver, and over all the desirable things of Egypt. And the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.

vw@Daniel:11:45 @ And he shall plant his palace tents between the seas, in the glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, and no one will help him.

vw@Daniel:12:1 @ And at that time, Michael shall stand up, the great ruler who stands for the sons of your people. And there shall be a time of distress, such as has not been since there was a nation until that time. And at that time, your people shall be delivered, everyone that shall be found written in the Book.

vw@Daniel:12:5 @ And I, Daniel, looked. And behold, two others stood there, the one on this side, and one on that side of the river’s edge.

vw@Daniel:12:7 @ And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was on the waters of the river, when he held up his right and his left hand to the heavens and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and a half. And when they have made an end of scattering the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

vw@Daniel:12:10 @ Many shall be purified and made white and tested, but the wicked shall do wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.

vw@Daniel:12:11 @ And from the time the regular sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that causes horror is set up, there shall be one thousand, two hundred and ninety days.

vw@Daniel:12:12 @ Blessed is he who waits and comes to the thousand, three hundred and thirty five days.

vw@Hosea:1:11 @ And the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel shall be gathered together, and shall appoint over themselves one head. And they shall go up out of the land; for great shall be the day of Jezreel.

vw@Hosea:2:2 @ Strive! Contend with your mother, for she is not My wife, nor am I her husband. Therefore, let her put away her harlotries from her presence, and her adulteries from between her breasts,

vw@Hosea:2:13 @ And I will visit upon her the days of the Baals in which she burned incense to them. She even adorned herself with her nose rings, and her jewels, and she went after her lovers and forgot Me, says Jehovah.

vw@Hosea:3:1 @ And Jehovah said to me, Go again, love a woman loved by a companion, yet an adulteress, like the love of Jehovah toward the sons of Israel, who turn to other gods and love raisin cakes of grapes.

vw@Hosea:3:4 @ For the sons of Israel shall remain many days without king or ruler, and without sacrifice, and without pillars, and without ephod or teraphim.

vw@Hosea:3:5 @ Afterward the sons of Israel shall return and seek Jehovah their God and David their king. And they shall fear Jehovah and His goodness in the latter days.

vw@Hosea:4:1 @ Hear the Word of Jehovah, you sons of Israel, for Jehovah has a complaint against the inhabitants of the land; for there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

vw@Hosea:4:3 @ On account of this the land shall mourn, and every one living there shall languish, with the beasts of the field and the birds of the heavens; yes, even the fish of the sea shall be taken away.

vw@Hosea:4:9 @ And it shall be: Like people, like priest. And I will visit their ways upon them and repay them for their deeds.

vw@Hosea:4:13 @ They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains and burn incense on the hills, under oaks and poplars and terebinth, because their shade is good. On account of this, your daughters shall prostitute themselves, and your brides shall commit adultery.

vw@Hosea:4:14 @ I will not punish your daughters when they prostitute themselves, nor your brides when they commit adultery. For the men themselves go aside with harlots, and they sacrifice with temple prostitutes. Therefore the people who do not understand will be thrust down.

vw@Hosea:4:15 @ Israel, though you commit fornication, do not let Judah become guilty. And do not come to Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-aven, nor swear, As Jehovah lives.

vw@Hosea:4:16 @ For Israel rebels like a stubborn heifer. Now Jehovah will feed them as a lamb in a large area.

vw@Hosea:4:17 @ Ephraim is joined to idols. Let him alone.

vw@Hosea:4:18 @ Their drink is rebellion. They are continually committing fornication. Her defenders dearly love disgrace.

vw@Hosea:5:1 @ Hear this, O priests, and pay attention, O house of Israel. And give ear, O house of the king. For judgment is toward you, because you have been a snare to Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.

vw@Hosea:5:3 @ I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me. For now, O Ephraim, you have committed harlotry; Israel is defiled.

vw@Hosea:5:4 @ They do not devote their doings to turn back to their God. For the spirit of harlotry is in their midst, and they do not know Jehovah.

vw@Hosea:5:5 @ And the pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim shall stumble in their iniquity. Judah shall also stumble with them.

vw@Hosea:5:9 @ Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel I have made known that which is sure.

vw@Hosea:5:11 @ Ephraim is oppressed and crushed in judgment, because he has willingly walked, keeping back from the commandments.

vw@Hosea:5:13 @ When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to King Jareb. Yet he could not heal you, nor did he cure you of your wound.

vw@Hosea:6:2 @ After two days He will restore us to life. In the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His presence.

vw@Hosea:6:3 @ Then we shall know, we who follow on to know Jehovah. His going forth is established as the dawn. And He shall come to us as the rain, as the latter and former rain to the earth.

vw@Hosea:6:4 @ O Ephraim, what shall I do to you? O Judah, what shall I do to you? For your goodness is like a morning cloud, and it goes away like the early dew.

vw@Hosea:6:8 @ Gilead is a city of those who work iniquity, foot-tracked with blood.

vw@Hosea:6:10 @ I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel: there is the harlotry of Ephraim; Israel is defiled.

vw@Hosea:6:11 @ Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed for you, when I return the captives of My people.

vw@Hosea:7:1 @ When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria. For they have dealt falsely; and a thief comes; a troop of robbers plunders outside.

vw@Hosea:7:4 @ They are all adulterers, like an oven heated by the baker; he ceases from stirring after kneading the dough until it is leavened.

vw@Hosea:7:5 @ In the day of our king, the rulers have made themselves sick, inflamed with wine. He stretches out his hand with scorners.

vw@Hosea:7:8 @ Ephraim has mixed himself among the peoples. Ephraim is a cake not turned.

vw@Hosea:7:9 @ Strangers have eaten up his strength, yet he does not know it. Yea, gray hairs are sprinkled here and there on him, yet he does not know it.

vw@Hosea:7:10 @ And the pride of Israel testifies to his face. And they do not return to Jehovah their God, nor seek Him for all this.

vw@Hosea:7:11 @ Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart; they call to Egypt; they go to Assyria.

vw@Hosea:7:12 @ When they go, I will spread My net upon them; I will bring them down like the birds of the heavens; I will chastise them, according to the report their congregation heard.

vw@Hosea:7:15 @ Though I disciplined, I made their arms strong; yet they devise evil against Me.

vw@Hosea:7:16 @ They return, but not to the Most High. They are like a treacherous bow. Their rulers shall fall by the sword from the rage of their tongue. This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.

vw@Hosea:8:2 @ Israel shall cry to Me, My God, we know You.

vw@Hosea:8:3 @ Israel has cast off the good; the enemy shall pursue him.

vw@Hosea:8:5 @ O Samaria, your calf has cast you off. My anger is kindled against them. How long until they attain to innocence?

vw@Hosea:8:6 @ For it was also from Israel: The craftsman made it, but it is not God. But the calf of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.

vw@Hosea:8:8 @ Israel is swallowed up. They are now among the nations as a vessel in which is no pleasure.

vw@Hosea:8:13 @ They sacrifice flesh for the sacrifices of My offerings, and they eat; but Jehovah does not accept them. Now He will remember their iniquity and punish their sins. They shall return to Egypt.

vw@Hosea:8:14 @ For Israel has forgotten his Maker, and builds temples. And Judah has multiplied fortified cities. But I will send a fire on his cities, and it shall burn up his palaces.

vw@Hosea:9:1 @ O Israel, do not rejoice for joy, like the peoples. For you have committed adultery against your God. You have loved for hire on every grain threshing floor.

vw@Hosea:9:6 @ For, lo, they are gone because of destruction. Egypt shall gather them up; Memphis shall bury them. Nettles shall possess their valuables of silver; thorns shall be in their tents.

vw@Hosea:9:7 @ The days of visitation have come; the days of retribution have come. Israel shall know. The prophet is a fool, the spiritual man is insane, because of the greatness of your iniquity and your great hatred.

vw@Hosea:9:8 @ The watchman of Ephraim is with my God, but the prophet is a snare of a fowler in all his ways; hatred is in the house of his God.

vw@Hosea:9:9 @ They have deeply corrupted, as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity; He will punish their sins.

vw@Hosea:9:10 @ I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the firstfruits on the fig tree in its first season. But they went to Baal-peor and set themselves apart to that shameful thing. And they became an abomination like that which they loved.

vw@Hosea:9:12 @ Though they raise their sons, yet I will make them childless, until not a man is left. Yea, woe also to them when I turn away from them!

vw@Hosea:9:13 @ As I watched Tyre, Ephraim was planted in a pleasant place. But Ephraim shall lead out his sons to the slayer.

vw@Hosea:9:14 @ O Jehovah, give them. What will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

vw@Hosea:9:15 @ All their wickedness is in Gilgal, for there I hated them. I will drive them out of My house because of the wickedness of their doings, I will love them no more; all their rulers are rebellious.

vw@Hosea:9:16 @ Ephraim is stricken; their root is dried up; they shall bear no fruit. Yea, though they bear, yet I will kill the beloved ones of their womb.

vw@Hosea:10:1 @ Israel empties his vine; he bears fruit for himself. According to the abundance of his fruit he has increased the altars. They have made beautiful images according to the goodness of his land.

vw@Hosea:10:2 @ Their heart is divided. Now they shall be found guilty. He will break down their altars; He will destroy their images.

vw@Hosea:10:6 @ It shall also be carried to Assyria, as a present to King Jareb. Ephraim shall receive shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel.

vw@Hosea:10:7 @ Samaria is cut off; her king is like a twig on the water.

vw@Hosea:10:8 @ Also, the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle shall grow up over their altars. And they shall say to the mountains, Cover us; and to the hills, Fall on us!

vw@Hosea:10:9 @ O Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they stood. The battle against the sons of iniquity did not overtake them in Gibeah.

vw@Hosea:10:10 @ When it is My desire, I shall chasten them; and the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they bind themselves to their two transgressions.

vw@Hosea:10:11 @ And Ephraim is a trained heifer, loving to tread grain. But I passed over her fair neck; I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow; Jacob shall break clods for him.

vw@Hosea:10:12 @ Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in kindness. Break up your fallow ground. For it is time to seek Jehovah, until He comes and rains righteousness on you.

vw@Hosea:10:14 @ Therefore an uproar shall rise up among your people. And all your fortresses shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-arbel in the day of battle. The mother was dashed in pieces upon her sons.

vw@Hosea:10:15 @ Thus it shall be done to you, O Bethel, because of your great wickedness. At dawn, the king of Israel shall be completely cut off.

vw@Hosea:11:1 @ When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and I called My Son out of Egypt.

vw@Hosea:11:5 @ He shall not return to the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian shall be his king, because they refused to come back.

vw@Hosea:11:6 @ And the sword shall whirl about in his cities, and shall bring to an end his isolated districts, and shall consume them, because of their own counsels.

vw@Hosea:11:8 @ How shall I give you up, Ephraim? Shall I deliver you up, Israel? How shall I make you like Admah? Shall I set you as Zeboim? My heart churns within Me; My compassions are kindled together.

vw@Hosea:11:10 @ They shall walk after Jehovah; He shall roar like a lion. When He roars, then His sons shall tremble from the west.

vw@Hosea:11:12 @ Ephraim circles around Me with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit; but Judah still walks with God and is faithful with the saints.

vw@Hosea:12:1 @ Ephraim feeds on wind, and follows after the east wind; all the day he multiplies lies and ruin. And they make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.

vw@Hosea:12:2 @ Jehovah also has a quarrel with Judah, and will punish Jacob according to his ways; He will repay him according to his deeds.

vw@Hosea:12:3 @ He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he contended with God.

vw@Hosea:12:5 @ even Jehovah the God of Hosts. Jehovah is His memorial.

vw@Hosea:12:7 @ He is a merchant; the scales of deceit are in his hand; he loves to oppress.

vw@Hosea:12:8 @ And Ephraim said, I am rich; I have found much wealth for myself. In all my labors they shall find no iniquity in me that is sin.

vw@Hosea:12:10 @ I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions; and used parables by the hand of the prophets.

vw@Hosea:12:11 @ Is Gilead evil? Surely they are vanity. They sacrificed bulls in Gilgal; yea, their altars are as heaps in the furrows of the field.

vw@Hosea:12:12 @ And Jacob fled into the land of Syria, and Israel served for a wife; yea, he kept sheep for a wife.

vw@Hosea:12:13 @ And by a prophet Jehovah brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was protected.

vw@Hosea:12:14 @ Ephraim has provoked Him to anger most bitterly. Therefore He shall leave the guilt of his blood upon him, and his Lord shall return his reproach unto him.

vw@Hosea:13:1 @ When Ephraim spoke, trembling, he was lifted up in Israel. But when he trespassed through Baal, he died.

vw@Hosea:13:2 @ And now they sin more and more, and they have made themselves molten images of their silver, idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen. They say of them, Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves.

vw@Hosea:13:4 @ Yet I am Jehovah your God, ever since the land of Egypt; and you shall know no other gods but Me. For there is no Savior besides Me.

vw@Hosea:13:9 @ O Israel, you are destroyed, but your help is in Me.

vw@Hosea:13:10 @ Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities? And where are your judges to whom you said, Give to me a king and rulers?

vw@Hosea:13:12 @ The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is treasured up.

vw@Hosea:13:13 @ The pangs of a woman giving birth shall come upon him; he is an unwise son, for he does not stay long where children are born.

vw@Hosea:13:14 @ I will ransom them from the hand of Sheol; I will redeem them from death. O death, where are your plagues? O Sheol, where is your destruction? Sorrow is hidden from My eyes.

vw@Hosea:13:15 @ Though he is fruitful among brothers, an east wind shall come. The wind of Jehovah shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall be disappointed because his fountain shall be dried up. He shall plunder the treasure of all desirable vessels.

vw@Hosea:13:16 @ Samaria is held guilty, for she has rebelled against her God. They shall fall by the sword, their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped open.

vw@Hosea:14:1 @ O Israel, return to Jehovah your God, for you have stumbled by your iniquity.

vw@Hosea:14:5 @ I will be as the dew to Israel; he shall blossom as the lily and thrust forth his roots like Lebanon.

vw@Hosea:14:6 @ His branches shall spread out, and his beauty shall be like the olive tree, and his scent as Lebanon.

vw@Hosea:14:7 @ They who live under his shadow shall return; they shall live like the grain, and blossom like the vine; their remembrance shall be as the wine of Lebanon.

vw@Hosea:14:8 @ Ephraim shall say, What have I to do any more with idols? I have heard and observed him. I am as a green cypress tree; your fruit is found in Me.

vw@Hosea:14:9 @ Who is wise and discerns these things? Who is discerning and knows them? For the ways of Jehovah are right, and the righteous shall walk in them; but transgressors shall stumble in them.

vw@Joel:1:2 @ Hear this, you old men, and give ear, all you inhabitants of the land. Has this been in your days, or even in the days of your fathers?

vw@Joel:1:5 @ Awake, you drunkards, and weep. And wail, all you wine drinkers, because of the new wine, for it is cut off from your mouth.

vw@Joel:1:9 @ The food offering and the drink offering have been cut off from the house of Jehovah; the priests, Jehovah’s ministers, mourn.

vw@Joel:1:10 @ The field is wasted; the land mourns, for the grain is wasted. The new wine is dried up, the oil tree droops.

vw@Joel:1:11 @ Be dried up, you farmers, howl, you vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field has perished.

vw@Joel:1:12 @ The vine is dried up and the fig tree droops, the pomegranate, and the palm tree, and the apple tree; all the trees of the field are dried up, because joy has dried up from the sons of men.

vw@Joel:1:13 @ Gird yourselves and lament, you priests. Howl, you ministers of the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, you who serve my God. For the food offering and the drink offering are held back from the house of your God.

vw@Joel:1:15 @ Alas for the day! For the day of Jehovah is at hand. And it shall come as a destruction from the Almighty.

vw@Joel:1:16 @ Is not the food cut off before our eyes, joy and gladness from the house of our God?

vw@Joel:1:18 @ How the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed, because they have no pasture. Even the flocks of sheep suffer punishment.

vw@Joel:2:1 @ Blow the shofar in Zion, and shout an alarm in My holy mountain. Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble. For the day of Jehovah approaches, it is near;

vw@Joel:2:3 @ a fire devours before them, and a flame burns behind them. The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them is a desolate wilderness; yea, also nothing shall escape them.

vw@Joel:2:4 @ Their appearance is like horses; and as horsemen, so they run.

vw@Joel:2:7 @ They run like mighty ones; they go up the wall as men of war. And they each go on his way, and they do not break ranks.

vw@Joel:2:8 @ And each does not press his brother; they each go in their own paths. And if they fall behind their weapon, they are not cut off.

vw@Joel:2:11 @ And Jehovah gives His voice before His army, for His camp is very great. For he who does His Word is strong. For the day of Jehovah is very great and terrifying, and who can endure it?

vw@Joel:2:13 @ So, tear your heart, and not your garments; and return to Jehovah your God. For He is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and He has compassion concerning the evil.

vw@Joel:2:16 @ Gather the people, consecrate the assembly, assemble the elders, gather the children, and those who suck the breasts. Let the bridegroom go out of his chamber, and the bride out of her room.

vw@Joel:2:17 @ Let the priests, the ministers of Jehovah, weep between the porch and the altar; and let them say, Have compassion on Your people, O Jehovah, and do not give Your possession to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, Where is their God?

vw@Joel:2:18 @ Then Jehovah will be jealous for His land and have pity on His people.

vw@Joel:2:19 @ Yea, Jehovah will answer and say to His people, Behold, I will send you grain, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied with it. And I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.

vw@Joel:2:20 @ But I will remove the northern army far from you, and I will drive him into a dry and desolate land with his face toward the eastern sea, and his back toward the western sea. And his stench shall come up, and his foul odor shall rise, because he did things to magnify himself.

vw@Joel:2:26 @ And you shall eat in plenty and be satisfied; and you shall praise the name of Jehovah your God, who has dealt wondrously with you. And My people shall never be be put to shame.

vw@Joel:2:27 @ And you shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Jehovah your God, and there is no other. And My people shall never be put to shame.

vw@Joel:2:28 @ And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions.

vw@Joel:3:2 @ I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will enter into judgment with them there, on account of My people and My possession, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations; and divided up My land.

vw@Joel:3:4 @ And also, what are you to Me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Will you restore a recompense to Me? And if you are dealing out to Me, I will return your dealings upon your own head, swiftly, speedily,

vw@Joel:3:9 @ Proclaim this among the nations: Consecrate a war; wake up the mighty men; let all the men of war draw near; let them come up.

vw@Joel:3:13 @ Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, go down, for the press is full, the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.

vw@Joel:3:14 @ Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision! For the day of Jehovah is near in the valley of decision.

vw@Joel:3:16 @ Jehovah roars from Zion, and He utters His voice from Jerusalem. And the heavens and the earth quake. But Jehovah is a refuge for His people and a fortress to the sons of Israel.

vw@Amos:1:1 @ The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

vw@Amos:1:2 @ And he said: Jehovah will roar from Zion and utter His voice from Jerusalem. And the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall dry up.

vw@Amos:1:3 @ Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Damascus, and for four, I will not turn back from punishing it, for they have threshed Gilead with implements of iron.

vw@Amos:1:6 @ Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not turn back from punishing it, for they took captive all the captives to deliver them up to prison in Edom.

vw@Amos:1:8 @ And I will cut off the inhabitants of Ashdod, and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon; and I will turn My hand against Ekron; and the remnant of the Philistines shall perish, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Amos:1:9 @ Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Tyre, and for four, I will not turn back from punishing it, for they delivered up all the captives to Edom and did not remember the covenant of brothers.

vw@Amos:1:11 @ Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn back from punishing it, for he pursued his brother with the sword, and dealt corruptly regarding mercy, and his anger tore continually, and he kept his wrath forever.

vw@Amos:1:13 @ Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, and for four, I will not turn back from punishing it, for they ripped open the pregnant women of Gilead, that they might make their border larger.

vw@Amos:1:15 @ And their king shall go into captivity, he and his rulers together, says Jehovah.

vw@Amos:2:1 @ Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not turn back from punishing it, for he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime.

vw@Amos:2:4 @ Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not turn back from punishing it; for they despised the Law of Jehovah, and they have not kept His statutes. And their lies after which their fathers walked led them astray.

vw@Amos:2:6 @ Thus says Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not turn back from punishing it, for they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of sandals.

vw@Amos:2:7 @ They pant after the dust of the earth on the head of the helpless, and thrust aside the way of the afflicted. And a man and his father go in to the same girl, in order to profane My holy name.

vw@Amos:2:8 @ And they lie down beside every altar on garments taken in pledge, and drink the wine of those being punished in the house of their God.

vw@Amos:2:9 @ Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was as strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above and his roots from beneath.

vw@Amos:2:11 @ And I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Is this not even so, O sons of Israel? declares Jehovah.

vw@Amos:2:13 @ Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart full of sheaves is pressed.

vw@Amos:2:14 @ Therefore flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his power, nor shall the mighty deliver his life,

vw@Amos:2:15 @ and he who handles the bow shall not stand, and the swift of foot shall not escape, nor shall the one riding a horse deliver his soul.

vw@Amos:3:1 @ Hear this Word that Jehovah has spoken against you, O sons of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying:

vw@Amos:3:2 @ You only have I known of all the families of the earth. Therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.

vw@Amos:3:4 @ Will a lion roar in the forest when there is no prey for him? Will a young lion cry out of his den unless he has caught something?

vw@Amos:3:5 @ Will a bird fall into a trap on the ground, where there is no bait for it? Will a trap spring up from the ground, and it has caught nothing at all?

vw@Amos:3:6 @ If a shofar is blown in a city, will the people not also tremble? If there is calamity in a city, will not even Jehovah have done it?

vw@Amos:3:7 @ Surely the Lord Jehovah will do nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

vw@Amos:3:11 @ Therefore the Lord Jehovah says this: An enemy shall be all around the land. And he shall bring down your strength from you, and your fortresses shall be plundered.

vw@Amos:3:12 @ Thus says Jehovah, As the shepherd snatches two legs out of the mouth of the lion, or a piece of an ear, so shall the sons of Israel be snatched, those who dwell in Samaria in a corner of a bed, and in Damascus on a couch.

vw@Amos:3:14 @ For in the day that I punish the transgressions of Israel upon him, I will also attend to the altars of Bethel. And the horns of the altar will be cut off and fall to the ground.

vw@Amos:3:15 @ And I will strike the winter house along with the summer house; and the houses of ivory shall perish, and the great houses shall come to an end, declares Jehovah.

vw@Amos:4:1 @ Hear this word, you cows of Bashan who are in the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who say to their husbands, Bring in, that we may drink.

vw@Amos:4:2 @ The Lord Jehovah has sworn by His holiness that the days are coming that He will carry you away with meat hooks, and the last of you with fishhooks.

vw@Amos:4:5 @ and offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven; cry out, call out the free-will offerings! For so you love to do, O sons of Israel, declares the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Amos:4:8 @ So two or three cities staggered to one city in order to drink water, but they were not satisfied; yet you have not returned to Me, declares Jehovah.

vw@Amos:4:12 @ Therefore I will do this to you, O Israel: Because of this that I will do to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.

vw@Amos:4:13 @ For, behold, He who forms mountains and creates the wind and declares to man what his thought is, He who makes the dawn darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth; Jehovah the God of Hosts, is His name.

vw@Amos:5:1 @ Hear this word which I am taking up against you, a lamentation, O house of Israel.

vw@Amos:5:2 @ The virgin of Israel has fallen, and will not rise again; she lies forsaken on her land; there is no one to raise her up.

vw@Amos:5:3 @ For thus says the Lord Jehovah, The city that goes out by a thousand shall have a hundred left. And that which goes out by a hundred shall have ten left to the house of Israel.

vw@Amos:5:4 @ For thus says Jehovah to the house of Israel, Seek Me, and live.

vw@Amos:5:8 @ He who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns the deep darkness into morning, and darkens the day into night; who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the face of the earth, Jehovah is His name;

vw@Amos:5:13 @ Therefore the prudent shall keep silent at that time, for it is an evil time.

vw@Amos:5:15 @ Hate evil, and love good, and establish justice in the gate. It may be that Jehovah the God of Hosts will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.

vw@Amos:5:16 @ Therefore Jehovah the God of Hosts, the Lord, says this: There shall be wailing in all the streets, and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! Alas! And they shall call the farmer to the mourning, and those that are skilled in wailing to lamentation.

vw@Amos:5:18 @ Woe to those who desire the day of Jehovah! Of what good is this to you? The day of Jehovah is darkness, and not light.

vw@Amos:5:19 @ It is as if a man fled before a lion, and a bear met him. Or he goes into the house and leans his hand against the wall, and a snake bites him.

vw@Amos:5:20 @ Is not the day of Jehovah darkness, and not light; even very dark, and not any brightness in it?

vw@Amos:5:21 @ I hate, I despise your feast days; and I will not savor your solemn assemblies.

vw@Amos:5:23 @ Take away from Me the noise of your songs; for I will not hear the melody of your lutes.

vw@Amos:5:25 @ Have you drawn near with sacrifices and food offerings to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

vw@Amos:5:27 @ Therefore I will exile you beyond Damascus, says Jehovah, whose name is God of Hosts.

vw@Amos:6:1 @ Woe to those at ease in Zion, and those trusting in the mountain of Samaria, noted as chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came.

vw@Amos:6:2 @ Cross over to Calneh and see; and from there go to the great Hamath; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than these kingdoms, or their border than your border?

vw@Amos:6:8 @ The Lord Jehovah has sworn by Himself, declares Jehovah the God of Hosts: I abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his palaces; therefore I will deliver up the city and its fullness.

vw@Amos:6:12 @ Shall horses run on the rock? Or will one plow there with oxen? For you have turned justice into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,

vw@Amos:6:14 @ For, behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel, declares Jehovah the God of Hosts. And they shall oppress you from the entrance of Hamath to the valley of the wilderness.

vw@Amos:7:1 @ The Lord Jehovah showed me this: And, behold, He formed locusts at the beginning of the after growth; indeed, the after growth after the mowings of the king.

vw@Amos:7:2 @ And so it was that when they had made an end of eating the vegetation of the land, then I said, Lord Jehovah, I pray, forgive. How can Jacob rise up? For he is small.

vw@Amos:7:3 @ Jehovah was moved to compassion concerning this: It shall not be, says Jehovah.

vw@Amos:7:4 @ The Lord Jehovah showed me this: And, behold, the Lord Jehovah called to contend by fire. And it consumed the great deep, and devoured part of it.

vw@Amos:7:5 @ Then I said, Lord Jehovah, I beg You, stop. How can Jacob rise up? For he is small.

vw@Amos:7:6 @ Jehovah was moved to compassion concerning this: It shall not be, says the Lord Jehovah.

vw@Amos:7:7 @ He showed me this: And, behold, the Lord stood by a plumb lined wall, with a plumb line in His hand.

vw@Amos:7:8 @ And Jehovah said to me, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A plumb line. Then the Lord said, Behold, I will set a plumb line in the midst of My people Israel. I will not again pass over him any more.

vw@Amos:7:9 @ And the high places of Isaac shall be desolate, and the holy places of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

vw@Amos:7:10 @ Then Amaziah, the priest of Bethel, sent to Jeroboam, the king of Israel, saying, Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to endure all his words.

vw@Amos:7:11 @ For thus Amos says: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall be exiled into captivity out of their land.

vw@Amos:7:13 @ But do not again prophesy at Bethel any more, for it is the king’s sanctuary, and it is the royal house.

vw@Amos:7:15 @ And Jehovah took me from following the flock, and Jehovah said to me, Go, prophesy to My people Israel.

vw@Amos:7:16 @ Now, therefore, hear the Word of Jehovah: You say, Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not drop words against the house of Isaac.

vw@Amos:7:17 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah, Your wife shall be a harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by a survey line. And you shall die in a defiled land. And Israel shall be exiled into captivity from his land.

vw@Amos:8:1 @ The Lord Jehovah showed me this: And, behold, a basket of summer fruit.

vw@Amos:8:2 @ And He said, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. And Jehovah said to me, The end has come upon My people Israel; I will not again pass over him any more.

vw@Amos:8:4 @ Hear this, you who swallow up the needy, and make the poor of the land to fail,

vw@Amos:8:8 @ Shall not the land tremble for this, and everyone who dwells in it mourn? And all of it shall rise like the light, and it shall overflow and sink like the river of Egypt.

vw@Amos:8:14 @ They who swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, As your god lives, O Dan! and, As the way of Beer-sheba lives! even they shall fall, and never rise again.

vw@Amos:9:5 @ And the Lord Jehovah of Hosts is He who touches the earth so that it melts, and all who dwell in it shall mourn. And all of it will rise up like the River, and sink down like the River of Egypt.

vw@Amos:9:6 @ He who builds His stairs in the heavens, and His firmament He has established, binding it to the earth; He who calls for the seawaters and pours them out on the face of the earth; Jehovah is His name.

vw@Amos:9:7 @ Are you not like the sons of Cush to Me, O sons of Israel? declares Jehovah. Have I not brought Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

vw@Amos:9:9 @ For, behold, I will command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations, as one sifts with a sieve; yet not a grain shall fall to the ground.

vw@Amos:9:11 @ In that day I will raise up the covert of David that has fallen, and I will wall up its breaks. And I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;

vw@Amos:9:12 @ so that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and all the nations who are called by My name, declares Jehovah who does this.

vw@Amos:9:14 @ And I will bring back the captives of My people Israel. And they shall build the waste cities, and live in them. And they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of them. They shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them.

vw@Obadiah:1:1 @ The vision of Obadiah: Thus says the Lord Jehovah concerning Edom: We have heard a report from Jehovah, and a messenger is sent among the nations; rise up, and let us rise up against her for battle.

vw@Obadiah:1:2 @ Behold, I have made you small among the nations; you are greatly despised.

vw@Obadiah:1:3 @ The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who dwell in the clefts of the rock; whose dwelling is high, saying in your heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

vw@Obadiah:1:4 @ Though you rise as high as the eagle, and though you set your nest among the stars, I will bring you down from there, declares Jehovah.

vw@Obadiah:1:6 @ O, how Esau is searched out! His hidden things are sought out!

vw@Obadiah:1:7 @ All the men of your covenant have sent you away to the border. The men who were at peace with you have deceived you and have prevailed against you. They are setting your bread as a trap under you; no one is aware of it.

vw@Obadiah:1:8 @ Shall I not in that day even destroy the wise out of Edom and understanding out of the mountains of Esau? declares Jehovah.

vw@Obadiah:1:11 @ In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers took captive his forces, and foreigners entered his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were as one of them.

vw@Obadiah:1:12 @ But you should not have looked on the day of your brother, on the day of his destruction; nor should you have rejoiced over the sons of Judah in the day of their destruction; nor should you have spoken proudly in the day of distress.

vw@Obadiah:1:13 @ You should not have entered into My people’s gate in the day of his calamity; also you should not have looked on his evil in the day of his calamity, nor should you have sent away his forces in the day of his calamity.

vw@Obadiah:1:14 @ Nor should you have stood at the crossroads to cut off those of him who escaped, nor should you have delivered up his survivors to prison in the day of distress.

vw@Obadiah:1:15 @ For the day of Jehovah is near upon all the nations: As you have done, it shall be done to you; your recompense shall return upon your own head.

vw@Obadiah:1:19 @ And those from the south shall possess the mountain of Esau, and the low lands of the Philistines. And they shall possess the fields of Ephraim and Samaria. And Benjamin shall possess Gilead.

vw@Obadiah:1:20 @ And the captives of this host of the sons of Israel shall possess the land of the Canaanites to Zarephath; even the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad shall possess the cities of the south.

vw@Jonah:1:2 @ Arise, go to Nineveh, the great city, and cry out against it; for their evil has come up before Me.

vw@Jonah:1:3 @ But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah. And he went down to Joppa, and he found a ship going to Tarshish. And he paid its fare and went down into it in order to go with them to Tarshish, from the presence of Jehovah.

vw@Jonah:1:5 @ And the sailors were afraid, and each man cried to his god. And they threw out the ship’s implements into the sea, to lighten it of them. But Jonah had gone down into the hold of the ship; and he lay down, and was sound asleep.

vw@Jonah:1:6 @ And the captain came near to him and said to him, What is this, O sleeper? Rise up and cry out to your God! Perhaps your God will think on us, and we will not perish.

vw@Jonah:1:7 @ And they said one to another, Come and let us cast lots, that we may know on whose account this evil has come upon us. And they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.

vw@Jonah:1:8 @ And they said to him, Please tell us on account of whom is this evil upon us? What is your occupation? And from where do you come? What is your land, and of what people are you?

vw@Jonah:1:10 @ Then the men were terrified with great fear and said to him, What is this you have done? For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of Jehovah, because he had told them.

vw@Jonah:1:12 @ And he said to them, Take me up and throw me out into the sea. And the sea will be calm for you. For I know that this great storm is upon you because of me.

vw@Jonah:1:14 @ Therefore they cried out to Jehovah, and said, We beseech You, O Jehovah, we beseech You, do not let us perish for this man’s life, and do not lay innocent blood on us. For You, O Jehovah, have done as it pleased You.

vw@Jonah:1:17 @ Now Jehovah had appointed a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

vw@Jonah:2:1 @ Then Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God out of the belly of the fish.

vw@Jonah:2:2 @ And he said, I cried out to Jehovah because of my distress, and He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried for help, and You heard my voice.

vw@Jonah:2:9 @ but I will sacrifice to You with the voice of thanksgiving; I will make good that which I have vowed. Salvation is from Jehovah!

vw@Jonah:2:10 @ And Jehovah spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out onto the dry land.

vw@Jonah:3:2 @ Rise up, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out to it the proclamation that I am instructing you.

vw@Jonah:3:6 @ And the word reached even to the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he took off his robe and covered himself with sackcloth and sat on the ashes.

vw@Jonah:3:7 @ And he cried and proclaimed in Nineveh by the decree of the king and of his nobles, saying, Do not let man or beast, herd or flock, taste anything; do not let them feed nor let them drink water.

vw@Jonah:3:8 @ But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth. And let them call mightily to God. And let them each one turn from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands.

vw@Jonah:3:9 @ Who knows if God may turn, and have compassion, and turn away from His burning anger, that we not perish?

vw@Jonah:4:2 @ And he prayed to Jehovah, and said, Please, O Jehovah, was this not my word while I was still in my own country? On account of this, I fled to Tarshish before, for I knew that You are a gracious Mighty God and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and One who is moved to pity regarding inflicting evil.

vw@Jonah:4:3 @ And now, O Jehovah, please take my life from me. For it is better for me to die than to live.

vw@Jonah:4:4 @ And Jehovah said, Is it right for you to be angry?

vw@Jonah:4:6 @ And Jehovah God appointed a plant, and it came up over Jonah to be shade over his head, in order to deliver him from his misery. And Jonah rejoiced over the plant with great joy.

vw@Jonah:4:8 @ And it happened when the sun rose, that God appointed a scorching east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah’s head, so that he fainted; and he begged for his soul to die. And he said, It is better for me to die than to live.

vw@Jonah:4:9 @ And God said to Jonah, Is it right for you to be angry over the plant? And he said, It is right for me to be angry, even to death.

vw@Jonah:4:10 @ Then Jehovah said, You have had pity on the plant for which you did not labor, nor made it grow, which came up in a night and perished in a night;

vw@Jonah:4:11 @ and should I not have pity on Nineveh, the great city in which are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons who cannot discern between the right and the left hand, and many cattle?

vw@Micah:1:2 @ Hear, all you people. Take heed, O earth, and all the fullness of it. And let the Lord Jehovah be a witness against you, the Lord from His holy temple.

vw@Micah:1:3 @ For behold, Jehovah is coming out of His place, and He will come down and tread upon the high places of the earth.

vw@Micah:1:5 @ All this is against the transgression of Jacob, and against the sins of the house of Israel. What is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria. And what are the high places of Judah? Are they not Jerusalem.

vw@Micah:1:11 @ Pass over, you inhabitant of Shaphir, having your shame naked. The inhabitant of Zaanan has not gone out; Beth Ezel mourns; its standing place is taken from you.

vw@Micah:1:13 @ O inhabitant of Lachish, harness the chariot to the swift steeds; she is the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion, for the transgressions of Israel were found in you.

vw@Micah:1:14 @ Therefore you shall give parting gifts to Moresheth Gath. The houses of Achzib shall be a lie to the kings of Israel.

vw@Micah:1:15 @ Yet I will bring an heir to you, O inhabitant of Mareshah. The glory of Israel shall come unto Adullam.

vw@Micah:2:1 @ Woe to those who devise wickedness and do evil on their beds! In the morning light they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.

vw@Micah:2:2 @ And they covet and seize fields and houses, and carry them away. And they oppress a man and his household, even a man and his inheritance.

vw@Micah:2:3 @ Therefore thus says Jehovah: Behold, I am devising evil against this family, from which you shall not remove your necks; nor shall you walk haughtily, for this is an evil time.

vw@Micah:2:7 @ You who are named House of Jacob, is the Spirit of Jehovah limited? Are these His doings? Do not My Words do good to the one who walks uprightly?

vw@Micah:2:8 @ Even recently My people have risen up like an enemy. You strip off an inner robe before an outer garment, from those who pass by securely, as those returning from war.

vw@Micah:2:10 @ Rise up and depart. This is not your rest, for it is unclean. It shall destroy with grievous destruction.

vw@Micah:2:11 @ If a man walks with a spirit of deception and lies saying, I will prophesy to you for wine and for strong drink, he shall even be a prophet for this people.

vw@Micah:2:12 @ I will collect and gather all of you, O Jacob; I will collect and gather the remnant of Israel. I will set them together like the sheep of the fold, like a flock in the middle of their pasture. They shall be in commotion because of the multitude of people.

vw@Micah:3:1 @ And I said, Hear now, O heads of Jacob, and you rulers of the house of Israel; is it not for you to know justice.

vw@Micah:3:4 @ Then they shall cry out to Jehovah, but He will not answer them. He will even hide His face from them at that time, because they have done evil in their doings.

vw@Micah:3:5 @ Thus says Jehovah concerning the prophets who mislead My people, who bite with their teeth and call out, Peace! And whoever does not put anything into their mouth, they even prepare a war against him.

vw@Micah:3:6 @ Therefore the night shall be to you without vision; and darkness without divining. And the sun shall go down on the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.

vw@Micah:3:7 @ And the seers shall be ashamed, and the diviners confounded, all of them; yea, they shall cover their mustache, for there is no answer from God.

vw@Micah:3:8 @ But by the Spirit of Jehovah I am full of power and justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.

vw@Micah:3:9 @ Now hear this, you heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, you who abhor justice and pervert all equity,

vw@Micah:3:11 @ Her heads judge for a bribe, and her priests teach for pay, and her prophets divine for money; yet they lean on Jehovah, saying, Is not Jehovah among us? No evil can come upon us.

vw@Micah:4:1 @ But it shall be in the latter days, that the mountain of the house of Jehovah shall be established on the top of the mountains; and it shall be lifted up above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it.

vw@Micah:4:2 @ And many nations shall come and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of Jehovah, and to the house of the God of Jacob. And He will teach us His ways, and we will walk in His paths. For the Law shall go forth out of Zion, and the Word of Jehovah from Jerusalem.

vw@Micah:4:4 @ But they shall each one sit under his vine and under his fig tree, and there shall be no cause for trembling. For the mouth of Jehovah of Hosts has spoken.

vw@Micah:4:5 @ For all the peoples walk, each one in the name of his god; but we will walk in the name of Jehovah our God forever and ever.

vw@Micah:4:6 @ In that day I will gather the lame, declares Jehovah, and I will gather the banished, and the ones I have afflicted.

vw@Micah:4:7 @ And I will establish the lame in a place as a remnant, and her who was cast off into a strong nation. And Jehovah shall reign over them in Mount Zion from now on, even forever.

vw@Micah:4:9 @ Now why do you cry aloud with an outcry? Is there no king among you? Has your adviser perished? For pangs have seized you like one in travail.

vw@Micah:4:12 @ But they do not know the purposes of Jehovah, nor do they understand His counsel. For He will gather them like the sheaves to the threshing floor.

vw@Micah:4:13 @ Rise up and thresh, O daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hooves bronze, and you shall crush many peoples. And I will consecrate their gain to Jehovah, and their wealth to the Lord of the whole earth.

vw@Micah:5:1 @ Now gather yourself together in troops, O daughter of troops; he has laid siege against us. They shall strike the Judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.

vw@Micah:5:2 @ And you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are insignificant among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from the days of eternity.

vw@Micah:5:3 @ Therefore He will give them up until the time the one giving birth has given birth. Then the remnant of His brothers shall return to the sons of Israel.

vw@Micah:5:4 @ And He shall stand and feed His flock in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah His God. And they shall dwell, for now He shall be great to the ends of the earth.

vw@Micah:5:5 @ And this shall be peace. When Assyria shall come into our land, and when he shall tread in our palaces, then we shall raise against him seven shepherds and eight anointed men.

vw@Micah:5:8 @ And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who both tramples and tears in pieces if he passes through, and there is no one to deliver.

vw@Micah:5:9 @ Your hands shall be raised against your foes, and all your enemies shall be cut off.

vw@Micah:6:1 @ Hear now what Jehovah says: Rise up, contend with the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.

vw@Micah:6:2 @ Mountains, and you enduring foundations of the earth, hear the contention of Jehovah, for Jehovah has a quarrel with His people, and He will argue with Israel.

vw@Micah:6:8 @ O man, He has declared to you what is good. And what does Jehovah require of you, but to do justice, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God.

vw@Micah:6:9 @ The voice of Jehovah cries out to the city; and one of sound wisdom will see Your name. Hear the staff, and Him who appointed it.

vw@Micah:6:12 @ For her rich ones are full of violence, and her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

vw@Micah:6:14 @ You shall eat, but not be satisfied, and your emptiness shall be in your midst; and you will move back, but shall not be safe; and that which you rescue, I will give to the sword.

vw@Micah:6:16 @ For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab. And you walk in their counsels, so that I may make you a desolation, and your inhabitants a hissing. And you shall bear the reproach of My people.

vw@Micah:7:1 @ Woe is me! For I am like the gatherings of summer fruit, like the gleanings of the vintage. There is no cluster to eat; my soul desires the first-ripe fruit.

vw@Micah:7:2 @ The good man has perished from the earth, and there is no one upright among mankind. All of them lie in wait for blood; each one hunts his brother with a net.

vw@Micah:7:3 @ Both hands are on evil, to do it well. Both the ruler and the judge ask for a bribe. And the great one speaks the lust of his soul; and they weave it together.

vw@Micah:7:4 @ The best of them is like a thorn; the upright more than a hedge of thorns. The day of your watchman and your punishment comes; now shall be their perplexity.

vw@Micah:7:6 @ for the son dishonors the father; the daughter rises up against her mother; the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man’s enemies are the men of his own house.

vw@Micah:7:8 @ Do not rejoice against me, O my enemy; for if I fall, I shall arise. For if I sit in darkness, Jehovah is a light to me.

vw@Micah:7:9 @ I will bear the indignation of Jehovah because I have sinned against Him, until He pleads my case and executes justice for me. He will bring me forth to the light; I shall see His righteousness.

vw@Micah:7:10 @ And my enemy shall see; and shame shall cover her who said to me, Where is Jehovah your God? My eyes shall see her. Now she shall be trampled down as the mud of the streets.

vw@Micah:7:18 @ Who is a Mighty God like You, forgiving iniquity and passing over the transgression of the remnant of His possession? His anger does not remain strong forever, for He delights in mercy.

vw@Nahum:1:1 @ The burden against Nineveh: The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

vw@Nahum:1:2 @ The Mighty God is jealous, and Jehovah avenges, Jehovah avenges and is a possessor of wrath. Jehovah takes vengeance against His foes, and He maintains wrath against His enemies.

vw@Nahum:1:3 @ Jehovah is slow to anger, and great of power, and He does not by any means acquit the guilty. Jehovah has His way in the tempest and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.

vw@Nahum:1:5 @ The mountains quake before Him, and the hills melt; and the earth is lifted up before Him, even the world and all who dwell in it.

vw@Nahum:1:6 @ Who can stand before His indignation? And who can endure His burning anger? His wrath is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken down because of Him.

vw@Nahum:1:7 @ Jehovah is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him.

vw@Nahum:1:8 @ But with an overrunning flood He will make a complete end of its place, and darkness shall pursue His enemies.

vw@Nahum:1:9 @ What are you plotting against Jehovah? He will make a complete end of it; affliction shall not rise up a second time.

vw@Nahum:1:11 @ One who devises evil against Jehovah has come forth from you, one counseling worthlessness.

vw@Nahum:1:13 @ And now I will break off his yoke from you and will tear away your bonds.

vw@Nahum:1:15 @ Behold, on the mountains the feet of Him bearing good tidings, proclaiming, Peace! O Judah, keep your feasts; fulfill your vows; for the wicked will no more pass through you; he is completely cut off.

vw@Nahum:2:1 @ The one scattering is coming up against your face. Guard the rampart; watch the way; make the loins strong, firm up your power exceedingly.

vw@Nahum:2:2 @ For Jehovah has restored the excellence of Jacob as the excellence of Israel. For the emptiers have emptied them and have destroyed their vine branches.

vw@Nahum:2:3 @ The shield of his mighty ones has become red, the mighty men are clothed in scarlet, the chariots will come like iron torches in the day of his preparation, and the cypresses are made to shake terribly.

vw@Nahum:2:4 @ The chariots run madly in the streets; they rush to and fro in the broad ways. Their appearance is like torches; they run swiftly like lightning.

vw@Nahum:2:8 @ And Nineveh of old is like a pool of water; yet they are fleeing. They cry, Halt! Halt! But no one turns back.

vw@Nahum:2:9 @ Plunder the silver! Plunder the gold! For there is no end to the treasures, and riches from all precious objects.

vw@Nahum:2:10 @ She is empty, desolate, and waste. And the heart is melted, and the knees knocking; and trembling is in all the loins; and all of their faces are flushed.

vw@Nahum:2:11 @ Where is the den of the lions and the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion, the lioness, the lion’s cub walked, and no one made them afraid?

vw@Nahum:2:12 @ The lion tore in pieces, enough for his cubs, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, even his lairs with torn prey.

vw@Nahum:3:1 @ Woe to the bloody city! It is all full of lies and robbery; the prey does not depart.

vw@Nahum:3:3 @ The horseman lifts up both the gleaming sword and the glittering spear, and many are slain, and there is a mass of dead bodies, and no end of corpses; they stumble over their dead bodies,

vw@Nahum:3:4 @ because of the many harlotries of the seductive harlot, the mistress of sorceries who sells nations by her harlotries, and families by her sorceries.

vw@Nahum:3:6 @ And I will cast detestable filth on you and will disgrace you. And I will set you as a spectacle.

vw@Nahum:3:7 @ And it shall be that all those who look upon you shall flee from you and shall say, Nineveh is laid waste; who shall weep for her? From where shall I seek comforters for you?

vw@Nahum:3:17 @ Your princes are like the locusts, and your officials are a swarm of locusts that camp in the hedges in the cold day. When the sun rises and they flee, the place where they are is not known.

vw@Nahum:3:19 @ There is no healing for your fracture; your wound is severe. All who hear the report of you shall clap their hands over you, for on whom has your wickedness not passed continually?

vw@Habakkuk:1:3 @ Why do You show me evil, and You cause me to look upon toil? For destruction and violence are before me; and there is strife, and contention rises up.

vw@Habakkuk:1:4 @ On account of this the law has become feeble, and justice does not continue to go forth. For the wicked surrounds the righteous, so justice goes forth, perverted.

vw@Habakkuk:1:5 @ Look among the nations and see, and be amazed. Be astounded. For a work is working in your days which you will not believe, though it be told to you.

vw@Habakkuk:1:6 @ For, behold, I raise up the Chaldeans, the bitter and hasty nation which is proceeding into the breadth of the land, to possess dwellings that are not their own.

vw@Habakkuk:1:9 @ All of them shall come for violence; the eagerness of their faces is like the east wind; and they gather captives like the sand.

vw@Habakkuk:1:11 @ Then shall his mind change; and he shall pass over and be guilty, crediting this power of his to his god.

vw@Habakkuk:1:12 @ Are You not from ancient times, Jehovah my God, my Holy One? We shall not die, Jehovah, for You have appointed them for judgment. And, my Rock, You have established them for correction.

vw@Habakkuk:1:14 @ For You make man like the fish of the sea, like creeping things with no ruler over them.

vw@Habakkuk:1:15 @ They take up all of them with the hook; they drag them with the net and gather them with the dragnet. On account of this they rejoice and exult.

vw@Habakkuk:1:16 @ Therefore they sacrifice to their net, and burn incense to their dragnet; because by them their portion is fat, and their food plentiful.

vw@Habakkuk:2:2 @ And Jehovah answered me and said, Write the vision and make it plain on the tablets, that he who reads it may run.

vw@Habakkuk:2:3 @ For the vision is yet for the appointed time; it speaks forth to the end, and it does not lie. Though it delays, wait for it, because it will come and take place; it will not tarry.

vw@Habakkuk:2:4 @ Behold, the soul of him who is puffed up is not upright; but the just shall live by his faith.

vw@Habakkuk:2:5 @ And also, wine indeed betrays a proud man, and he dwells not at home, who widens his soul like Sheol. And he is like death, and is not satisfied, but gathers all the nations to himself, and collects all the peoples to himself.

vw@Habakkuk:2:6 @ Shall not all of these take up a parable against him, and a mocking riddle against him, and say, Woe to him who increases what is not his! How long, then, shall he load himself with many pledges?

vw@Habakkuk:2:7 @ Shall not those who bite you rise up suddenly, and those who vex you be aroused, and you become a booty to them?

vw@Habakkuk:2:9 @ Woe to him who robs unjust gain for his house, to set his nest on high, to be delivered from the hand of evil.

vw@Habakkuk:2:10 @ You have advised shame for your house, to cut off many peoples, and have sinned in your soul.

vw@Habakkuk:2:12 @ Woe to him who builds a town with blood and establishes a city by iniquity.

vw@Habakkuk:2:13 @ Behold, is it not of Jehovah of Hosts that the people labor only to feed the fire, and nations weary themselves only for vanity.

vw@Habakkuk:2:15 @ Woe to him who causes his friend to drink, joining with your bottle, and also making him drunk, so as to look upon his nakedness.

vw@Habakkuk:2:20 @ But Jehovah is in His holy temple; let all the earth be silent before Him.

vw@Habakkuk:3:3 @ God comes from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His majesty covers the heavens, and His praise fills the earth.

vw@Habakkuk:3:4 @ And His brightness is as the light; He has rays coming from His hand, and a covering of His strength.

vw@Habakkuk:3:5 @ A pestilence goes before Him, and lightning goes forth at His feet.

vw@Habakkuk:3:6 @ He stood and measured the earth; He looked and shook nations; and the ancient mountains were scattered; the perpetual hills bowed down. His ways are eternal.

vw@Habakkuk:3:14 @ You thrust through with his own arrows the head of his villages. They came out in a rage to scatter me; their exultation was to devour the humble in secret.

vw@Habakkuk:3:16 @ When I heard, my body trembled; my lips quivered at the sound. Rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled within myself, that I might rest in the day of distress. When he comes up against the peoples, he will attack.

vw@Zephaniah:1:4 @ I will also stretch out My hand on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. And I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, the names of the idolatrous priests, with the priests;

vw@Zephaniah:3:13 @ The remnant of Israel shall not do injustice, nor speak lies. And a deceitful tongue shall not be found in their mouth. For they shall feed and lie down, and no one shall make them afraid.

vw@Haggai:1:9 @ You looked for much, and, lo, it came to little. And when you brought it home, then I blew on it. Why? says Jehovah of Hosts. Because of My house that is in ruins, and you, each man, runs to his own house.

vw@Haggai:2:3 @ Who is left among you who saw this house in her former glory? And how do you see it now? When compared to it, is it not as nothing in your eyes?

vw@Zechariah:2:1 @ I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and, behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand.

vw@Zechariah:2:2 @ And I said, Where are you going? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what is its length.

vw@Zechariah:2:4 @ and said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem will be inhabited like unwalled villages, for the multitude of men and livestock in her midst.

vw@Zechariah:2:8 @ For thus says Jehovah of Hosts: He has sent Me after glory to the nations who plundered you; for he who touches you touches the pupil of His eye.

vw@Zechariah:2:13 @ All flesh, be silent before Jehovah. For He is raised up out of His holy habitation.

vw@Zechariah:3:6 @ And the Angel of Jehovah admonished Joshua, saying,

vw@Zechariah:3:10 @ In that day, says Jehovah of Hosts, you shall invite each man his neighbor to sit under the vine and under the fig tree.

vw@Zechariah:4:1 @ And the angel who spoke with me returned and awakened me, as a man is awakened out of his sleep.

vw@Zechariah:4:6 @ Then he answered and spoke to me, saying, This is the Word of Jehovah to Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by My Spirit, says Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Zechariah:4:9 @ The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house; his hands shall also finish it. And you shall know that Jehovah of Hosts has sent me to you.

vw@Zechariah:5:2 @ And he said to me, What do you see? And I answered, I see a flying scroll; its length is twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.

vw@Zechariah:5:3 @ And he said to me, This is the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth. For from now on everyone who steals shall be purged out according to it; and everyone who swears from now on shall be purged out according to it.

vw@Zechariah:5:4 @ And I will bring it forth, says Jehovah of Hosts. And it shall enter into the house of the thief, and into the house of the one who swears falsely by My name. And it shall remain in the midst of his house and shall make an end to it, and its timber, and its stones.

vw@Zechariah:5:5 @ Then the angel who talked with me went out, and said to me, Now lift up your eyes and see what this is that goes forth.

vw@Zechariah:5:8 @ And he said, This is wickedness. And he threw her down into the middle of the ephah; and he threw the lead stone over its opening.

vw@Zechariah:6:12 @ And speak to him, saying, Thus says Jehovah of Hosts, saying, Behold, the Man whose name is THE BRANCH. And He shall spring up out of His place, and He shall build the temple of Jehovah.

vw@Zechariah:6:13 @ Even He shall build the temple of Jehovah; and He shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on His throne. And He shall be a priest on His throne; and the counsel of peace shall be between the two of them.

vw@Zechariah:6:15 @ And those from afar shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah. And you shall know that Jehovah of Hosts has sent me to you. And this shall come to pass if you will give heed and obey the voice of Jehovah your God.

vw@Zechariah:7:1 @ And in the fourth year of King Darius, the Word of Jehovah came to Zechariah, in the fourth of the ninth month, in Chislev.

vw@Zechariah:7:2 @ And Sherezer and Regem-melech, and his men, were sent to Bethel to make supplication before Jehovah,

vw@Zechariah:7:12 @ And they made their heart adamant so as not to hear the Law and the Words which Jehovah of Hosts has sent by His Spirit through the former prophets. And great wrath came from Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Zechariah:7:14 @ But I scattered them with a whirlwind among all the nations whom they did not know. Thus the land is desolate behind them, with no one passing through and returning; for they made the pleasant land a waste.

vw@Zechariah:8:6 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts: If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these days, will it also be marvelous in My eyes? says Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Zechariah:8:7 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts: Behold, I will save My people from the land of the rising sun and from the land of the sunset.

vw@Zechariah:8:9 @ Thus says Jehovah of Hosts: Let your hands become strong, you who hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, that in the day the foundation of the house of Jehovah of Hosts is laid, the temple is to be built.

vw@Zechariah:8:10 @ For before these days there were no wages for man, nor any payment for animal; and there was no peace for those who went out or came in because of the enemy. For I sent every man, a man against his neighbor.

vw@Zechariah:8:11 @ But now I will not be to the remnant of this people as in former days, says Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Zechariah:8:12 @ For there shall be peace for the seed: the vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its fruit, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these.

vw@Zechariah:8:13 @ And it shall come to pass, that as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Do not fear; let your hands become strong.

vw@Zechariah:11:9 @ Then I said, I will not feed you; that which dies, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off. And let the ones remaining, each woman, eat the flesh of her neighbor.

vw@Zechariah:11:12 @ And I said to them, If it is good in your eyes, give Me My wages; and if not, refrain. And they weighed out My wages, thirty pieces of silver.

vw@Zechariah:11:14 @ Then I chopped in two My second staff, Bonds, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

vw@Malachi:2:6 @ The Law of Truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found on his lips. In peace and in uprightness he walked with Me, and he turned many away from iniquity.

vw@Malachi:2:7 @ For the lips of the priest should keep knowledge, and they should seek the Law from his mouth; for he is the messenger of Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Malachi:2:9 @ So I have also made you despised and low before all the people, just as you have not kept My ways, but have shown partiality in the Law.

vw@Malachi:2:10 @ Is there not one father to us all? Has not one Mighty God created us? Why do we act deceitfully each man with his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?

vw@Malachi:2:11 @ Judah has dealt treacherously, and has done an abomination in Israel and in Jerusalem; for Judah has profaned the holiness of Jehovah, which He loves, and has married the daughter of a foreign god.

vw@Malachi:2:12 @ Jehovah will cut off from the tents of Jacob the man who does this, waking and answering, or offering a grain offering to Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Malachi:2:13 @ And this is a second thing you do: covering the altar of Jehovah with tears, with weeping and crying out; so that He does not regard the grain offering, nor receive it with delight from your hand.

vw@Malachi:2:14 @ Yet you say, For what reason? Because Jehovah has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously; and she is your companion and your wife by covenant.

vw@Malachi:2:15 @ And has He not made them one? Yet the remnant of the Spirit is in him. And why one? He was seeking a seed of God. Therefore take heed to your spirit, and do not deal treacherously with the wife of your youth.

vw@Malachi:2:16 @ For Jehovah the God of Israel, says that He hates divorce, and to cover violence with one’s garment, says Jehovah of Hosts. Therefore take heed to your spirit and do not deal treacherously.

vw@Malachi:2:17 @ You have wearied Jehovah with your words. Yet you say, In what way have we wearied Him? When you say, Every evildoer is good in the eyes of Jehovah, and He delights in them; or, Where is the God of justice?

vw@Malachi:3:1 @ Behold, I send My messenger, and He will prepare the way before Me. And the Lord whom you seek shall suddenly come to His temple, even the Messenger of the Covenant, in whom you delight. Behold, He comes, says Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Malachi:3:2 @ But who can endure the day of His coming? And who will stand when He appears? For He is like a refiner’s fire and like fuller’s soap.

vw@Malachi:3:5 @ And I will come near to you for judgment; and I will be a swift witness against the sorcerers, and against the adulterers, and against those swearing to a lie; and against those who defraud the hired laborer of his pay, and turn away the widow, and the fatherless, and the alien; and who do not fear Me, says Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Malachi:3:9 @ You are cursed with a curse, for you have robbed Me, even this whole nation.

vw@Malachi:3:10 @ Bring all the tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now with this, says Jehovah of Hosts, whether I will not open the windows of heaven for you and pour out a blessing until there is not enough room to store it.

vw@Malachi:3:14 @ You have said, It is vain to serve God. And, What profit is it that we have kept His charge, and that we have walked as mourners before Jehovah of Hosts?

vw@Malachi:3:16 @ Then those who feared Jehovah spoke together, each man to his neighbor. And Jehovah gave attention and heard. And a Book of Remembrance was written before Him for those who feared Jehovah, and for those who thought on His name.

vw@Malachi:3:17 @ And they shall be Mine, says Jehovah of Hosts, for the day that I will make up My treasure. And I will pity them as a man has compassion on his son who serves him.

vw@Malachi:3:18 @ Then you shall again distinguish between the righteous and the wicked, between him who serves God and him who does not serve Him.

vw@Malachi:4:1 @ For, behold, the day is coming, burning like a fire pot; and all the proud and everyone that does wickedness shall be chaff. And the coming day will set them ablaze, says Jehovah of Hosts, which will not leave to them root or branch.

vw@Malachi:4:2 @ But to you who fear My name, the Sun of Righteousness shall rise up, with healing on His wings. And you shall go out and frisk like calves of the stall.

vw@Malachi:4:3 @ And you shall tread down the wicked, for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I do this, says Jehovah of Hosts.

vw@Malachi:4:4 @ Remember the Law of My servant Moses which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel, the statutes and judgments.

vw@Matthew:1:1 @ The book of the genealogy of Jesus Christ, the Son of David, the Son of Abraham:
