bbe@Genesis:7:23 @Every living thing on the face of all the earth, man and cattle and things moving on the face of the earth, and birds of the air, came to destruction: only Noah and those who were with him in the ark, were kept from death.

bbe@Genesis:9:3 @Every living and moving thing will be food for you; I give them all to you as before I gave you all green things.

bbe@Genesis:9:10 @And with every living thing with you, all birds and cattle and every beast of the earth which comes out of the ark with you.

bbe@Genesis:9:11 @And I will make my agreement with you; never again will all flesh be cut off by the waters; never again will the waters come over all the earth for its destruction.

bbe@Genesis:9:12 @And God said, This is the sign of the agreement which I make between me and you and every living thing with you, for all future generations:

bbe@Genesis:9:19 @These three were the sons of Noah and from them all the earth was peopled.

bbe@Genesis:9:29 @all the years of his life were nine hundred and fifty: and he came to his end.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:10:11 @From that land he went out into Assyria, building Nineveh with its wide streets and Calah,

bbe@Genesis:10:12 @And Resen between Nineveh and Calah, which is a very great town.

bbe@Genesis:10:18 @And the Arvadite and the Zemarite and the Hamathite; after that the families of the Canaanites went far and wide in all directions;

bbe@Genesis:10:20 @All these, with their different families, languages, lands, and nations, are the offspring of Ham.

bbe@Genesis:10:26 @And Joktan was the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah

bbe@Genesis:10:27 @And Hadoram and Uzal and Diklah

bbe@Genesis:10:28 @And Obal and Abimael and Sheba

bbe@Genesis:10:29 @And Ophir and Havilah and Jobab; all these were the sons of Joktan.

bbe@Genesis:10:32 @These are the families of the sons of Noah, in the order of their generations and their nations: from these came all the nations of the earth after the great flow of waters.

bbe@Genesis:11:1 @And all the earth had one language and one tongue.

bbe@Genesis:11:6 @And the Lord said, See, they are all one people and have all one language; and this is only the start of what they may do: and now it will not be possible to keep them from any purpose of theirs.

bbe@Genesis:11:9 @So it was named Babel, because there the Lord took away the sense of all languages and from there the Lord sent them away over all the face of the earth.

bbe@Genesis:11:28 @And death came to Haran when he was with his father Terah in the land of his birth, Ur of the Chaldees.

bbe@Genesis:11:31 @And Terah took Abram, his son, and Lot, the son of Haran, and Sarai, his daughter-in-law, the wife of his son Abram and they went out from Ur of the Chaldees, to go to the land of Canaan; and they came to Haran, and were there for some time.

bbe@Genesis:11:32 @And all the years of Terah's life were two hundred and five: and Terah came to his end in Haran.

bbe@Genesis:12:3 @To them who are good to you will I give blessing, and on him who does you wrong will I put my curse: and you will become a name of blessing to all the families of the earth.

bbe@Genesis:12:5 @And Abram took Sarai, his wife, and Lot, his brother's son, and all their goods and the servants which they had got in Haran, and they went out to go to the land of Canaan.

bbe@Genesis:12:7 @And the Lord came to Abram, and said, I will give all this land to your seed; then Abram made an altar there to the Lord who had let himself be seen by him.

bbe@Genesis:12:8 @And moving on from there to the mountain on the east of Beth-el, he put up his tent, having Beth-el on the west and Ai on the east: and there he made an altar and gave worship to the name of the Lord.

bbe@Genesis:12:20 @And Pharaoh gave orders to his men, and they sent him on his way, with his wife and all he had.

bbe@Genesis:13:1 @And Abram went up out of Egypt with his wife and all he had, and Lot with him, and they came in to the South.

bbe@Genesis:13:2 @Now Abram had great wealth of cattle and silver and gold.

bbe@Genesis:13:4 @To the place where he had made his first altar, and there Abram gave worship to the name of the Lord.

bbe@Genesis:13:9 @Is not all the land before you? then let us go our separate ways: if you go to the left, I will go to the right; or if you take the right, I will go to the left.

bbe@Genesis:13:10 @And Lot, lifting up his eyes and looking an the valley of Jordan, saw that it was well watered everywhere, before the Lord had sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah; it was like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, on the way to Zoar.

bbe@Genesis:13:11 @So Lot took for himself all the valley of Jordan, and went to the east, and they were parted from one another.

bbe@Genesis:13:15 @For all the land which you see I will give to you and to your seed for ever

bbe@Genesis:13:17 @Come, go through all the land from one end to the other for I will give it to you.

bbe@Genesis:13:18 @And Abram, moving his tent, came and made his living-place by the holy tree of Mamre, which is in Hebron, and made an altar there to the Lord.

bbe@Genesis:14:1 @Now in the days of Amraphel, king of Shinar, Arioch, king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim,

bbe@Genesis:14:3 @All these came together in the valley of Siddim (which is the Salt Sea).

bbe@Genesis:14:7 @Then they came back to En-mishpat (which is Kadesh), making waste all the country of the Amalekites and of the Amorites living in Hazazon-tamar.

bbe@Genesis:14:8 @And the king of Sodom with the king of Gomorrah and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that is Zoar), went out, and put their forces in position in the valley of Siddim,

bbe@Genesis:14:9 @Against Chedorlaomer, king of Elam, and Tidal, king of Goiim, and Amraphel, king of Shinar, and Arioch, king of Ellasar: four kings against the five.

bbe@Genesis:14:10 @Now the valley of Siddim was full of holes of sticky earth; and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah were put to flight and came to their end there, but the rest got away to the mountain.

bbe@Genesis:14:11 @And the four kings took all the goods and food from Sodom and Gomorrah and went on their way.

bbe@Genesis:14:12 @And in addition they took Lot, Abram's brother's son, who was living in Sodom, and all his goods.

bbe@Genesis:14:16 @And he got back all the goods, and Lot, his brother's son, with his goods and the women and the people.

bbe@Genesis:14:17 @And when he was coming back after putting to flight Chedorlaomer and the other kings, he had a meeting with the king of Sodom in the valley of Shaveh, that is, the King's Valley

bbe@Genesis:14:18 @And Melchizedek, king of Salem, the priest of the Most High God, took bread and wine,

bbe@Genesis:14:20 @And let the Most High God be praised, who has given into your hands those who were against you. Then Abram gave him a tenth of all the goods he had taken.

bbe@Genesis:14:23 @That I will not take so much as a thread or the cord of a shoe of yours; so that you may not say, I have given wealth to Abram:

bbe@Genesis:15:2 @And Abram said, What will you give me? for I have no child and this Eliezer of Damascus will have all my wealth after me.

bbe@Genesis:15:7 @And he said to him, I am the Lord, who took you from Ur of the Chaldees, to give you this land for your heritage.

bbe@Genesis:15:10 @All these he took, cutting them in two and putting one half opposite the other, but not cutting the birds in two.

bbe@Genesis:15:14 @But I will be the judge of that nation whose servants they are, and they will come out from among them with great wealth.

bbe@Genesis:16:12 @And he will be like a mountain ass among men; his hand will be against every man and every man's hand against him, and he will keep his place against all his brothers.

bbe@Genesis:16:13 @And to the Lord who was talking with her she gave this name, You are a God who is seen; for she said, Have I not even here in the waste land had a vision of God and am still living?

bbe@Genesis:17:1 @When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the Lord came to him, and said, I am God, Ruler of all; go in my ways and be upright in all things,

bbe@Genesis:17:3 @And Abram went down on his face on the earth, and the Lord God went on talking with him, and said,

bbe@Genesis:17:7 @And I will make between me and you and your seed after you through all generations, an eternal agreement to be a God to you and to your seed after you.

bbe@Genesis:17:8 @And to you and to your seed after you, I will give the land in which you are living, all the land of Canaan for an eternal heritage; and I will be their God.

bbe@Genesis:17:9 @And God said to Abraham, On your side, you are to keep the agreement, you and your seed after you through all generations.

bbe@Genesis:17:10 @And this is the agreement which you are to keep with me, you and your seed after you: every male among you is to undergo circumcision.

bbe@Genesis:17:12 @Every male among you, from one generation to another, is to undergo circumcision when he is eight days old, with every servant whose birth takes place in your house, or for whom you gave money to someone of another country, and not of your seed.

bbe@Genesis:17:13 @He who comes to birth in your house and he who is made yours for a price, all are to undergo circumcision; so that my agreement may be marked in your flesh, an agreement for all time.

bbe@Genesis:17:14 @And any male who does not undergo circumcision will be cut off from his people: my agreement has been broken by him.

bbe@Genesis:17:23 @And Abraham took Ishmael, his son, and all whose birth had taken place in his house, and all his servants whom he had made his for a price, every male of his house, and on that very day he gave them circumcision in the flesh of their private parts as God had said to him

bbe@Genesis:17:27 @And all the men of his house, those whose birth had taken place in the house and those whom he had got for money from men of other lands, underwent circumcision with him.

bbe@Genesis:18:6 @Then Abraham went quickly into the tent, and said to Sarah, Get three measures of meal straight away and make cakes.

bbe@Genesis:18:18 @Seeing that Abraham will certainly become a great and strong nation, and his name will be used by all the nations of the earth as a blessing?

bbe@Genesis:18:25 @Let such a thing be far from you, to put the upright to death with the sinner: will not the judge of all the earth do right?

bbe@Genesis:18:28 @If by chance there are five less than fifty upright men, will you give up all the town to destruction because of these five? And he said, I will not give it to destruction if there are forty-five.

bbe@Genesis:18:33 @And the Lord went on his way when his talk with Abraham was ended, and Abraham went back to his place.

bbe@Genesis:19:1 @And at nightfall the two angels came to Sodom; and Lot was seated at the way into the town: and when he saw them he got up and came before them, falling down on his face to the earth.

bbe@Genesis:19:4 @But before they had gone to bed, the men of the town, all the men of Sodom, came round the house, young and old, from every part of the town;

bbe@Genesis:19:11 @But the men who were outside the door they made blind, all of them, small and great, so that they were tired out with looking for the door.

bbe@Genesis:19:12 @Then the men said to Lot, Are there any others of your family here? sons-in-law or sons or daughters, take them all out of this place;

bbe@Genesis:19:15 @And when morning came, the angels did all in their power to make Lot go, saying, Get up quickly and take your wife and your two daughters who are here, and go, for fear that you come to destruction in the punishment of the town.

bbe@Genesis:19:25 @And he sent destruction on those towns, with all the lowland and all the people of those towns and every green thing in the land.

bbe@Genesis:19:26 @But Lot's wife, looking back, became a pillar of salt.

bbe@Genesis:19:27 @And Abraham got up early in the morning and went to the place where he had been talking with the Lord:

bbe@Genesis:19:31 @And the older daughter said to her sister, Our father is old, and there is no man to be a husband to us in the natural way:

bbe@Genesis:20:7 @So now, give the man back his wife, for he is a prophet, and let him say a prayer for you, so your life may be safe: but if you do not give her back, be certain that death will come to you and all your house.

bbe@Genesis:20:8 @So Abimelech got up early in the morning and sent for all his servants and gave them word of these things, and they were full of fear.

bbe@Genesis:20:15 @And Abimelech said, See, all my land is before you; take whatever place seems good to you.

bbe@Genesis:20:16 @And he said to Sarah, See, I have given to your brother a thousand bits of silver so that your wrong may be put right; now your honour is clear in the eyes of all.

bbe@Genesis:20:18 @For the Lord had kept all the women of the house of Abimelech from having children, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

bbe@Genesis:21:15 @And when all the water in the skin was used up, she put the child down under a tree.

bbe@Genesis:21:20 @And God was with the boy, and he became tall and strong, and he became a bowman, living in the waste land.

bbe@Genesis:21:22 @Now at that time, Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, said to Abraham, I see that God is with you in all you do.

bbe@Genesis:21:23 @Now, then, give me your oath, in the name of God, that you will not be false to me or to my sons after me, but that as I have been good to you, so you will be to me and to this land where you have been living.

bbe@Genesis:21:33 @And Abraham, after planting a holy tree in Beer-sheba, gave worship to the name of the Lord, the Eternal God.

bbe@Genesis:22:9 @And they came to the place of which God had given him knowledge; and there Abraham made the altar and put the wood in place on it, and having made tight the bands round Isaac his son, he put him on the wood on the altar.

bbe@Genesis:22:18 @And your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth, because you have done what I gave you orders to do.

bbe@Genesis:23:10 @Now Ephron was seated among the children of Heth: and Ephron the Hittite gave Abraham his answer in the hearing of the children of Heth, and of all those who came into his town, saying,

bbe@Genesis:23:11 @No, my lord, I will give you the field with the hollow in the rock; before all the children of my people will I give it to you for a resting-place for your dead.

bbe@Genesis:23:15 @My lord, give ear to me: the value of the land is four hundred shekels; what is that between me and you? so put your dead to rest there.

bbe@Genesis:23:17 @So Ephron's field at Machpelah near Mamre, with the hollow in the rock and all the trees in the field and round it,

bbe@Genesis:23:18 @Became the property of Abraham before the eyes of the children of Heth and of all who came into the town

bbe@Genesis:24:2 @And Abraham said to his chief servant, the manager of all his property, Come now, put your hand under my leg:

bbe@Genesis:24:10 @And the servant took ten of his master's camels, and all sorts of good things of his master's, and went to Mesopotamia, to the town of Nahor.

bbe@Genesis:24:20 @And after putting the water from her vessel into the animals' drinking-place, she went quickly back to the spring and got water for all the camels

bbe@Genesis:24:22 @And when the camels had had enough, the man took a gold nose-ring, half a shekel in weight, and two ornaments for her arms of ten shekels weight of gold;

bbe@Genesis:24:36 @And when Sarah, my master's wife, was old, she gave birth to a son, to whom he has given all he has.

bbe@Genesis:24:53 @Then he took jewels of silver and jewels of gold and fair robes and gave them to Rebekah: and he gave things of value to her mother and her brother.

bbe@Genesis:24:60 @And they gave Rebekah their blessing, saying, O sister, may you be the mother of thousands and ten thousands; and may your seed overcome all those who make war against them.

bbe@Genesis:24:66 @Then the servant gave Isaac the story of all he had done.

bbe@Genesis:25:4 @And from Midian came Ephah and Epher and Hanoch and Abida and Eldaah. All these were the offspring of Keturah.

bbe@Genesis:25:5 @Now Abraham gave all his property to Isaac;

bbe@Genesis:25:18 @And their country was from Havilah to Shur which is east of Egypt: they took their place to the east of all their brothers.

bbe@Genesis:25:30 @And Esau said to Jacob, Give me a full meal of that red soup, for I am overcome with need for food: for this reason he was named Edom.

bbe@Genesis:25:31 @And Jacob said, First of all give me your birthright.

bbe@Genesis:25:33 @And Jacob said, First of all give me your oath; and he gave him his oath, handing over his birthright to Jacob.

bbe@Genesis:26:3 @Keep in this land, and I will be with you and give you my blessing; for to you and to your seed will I give all these lands, giving effect to the oath which I made to your father Abraham;

bbe@Genesis:26:4 @I will make your seed like the stars of heaven in number, and will give them all these lands, and your seed will be a blessing to all the nations of the earth;

bbe@Genesis:26:13 @And his wealth became very great, increasing more and more;

bbe@Genesis:26:14 @For he had great wealth of flocks and herds and great numbers of servants; so that the Philistines were full of envy.

bbe@Genesis:26:15 @Now all the water-holes, which his father's servants had made in the days of Abraham, had been stopped up with earth by the Philistines.

bbe@Genesis:26:17 @So Isaac went away from there, and put up his tents in the valley of Gerar, making his living-place there.

bbe@Genesis:26:19 @Now Isaac's servants made holes in the valley, and came to a spring of flowing water.

bbe@Genesis:26:25 @Then he made an altar there, and gave worship to the name of the Lord, and he put up his tents there, and there his servants made a water-hole.

bbe@Genesis:26:30 @Then he made a feast for them, and they all had food and drink.

bbe@Genesis:27:4 @And make me food, good to the taste, such as is pleasing to me, and put it before me, so that I may have a meal and give you my blessing before death comes to me.

bbe@Genesis:27:7 @Go and get some roe's meat and make me a good meal, so that I may be full, and give you my blessing before the Lord before my death.

bbe@Genesis:27:9 @Go to the flock and get me two fat young goats; and I will make of them a meal to your father's taste:

bbe@Genesis:27:10 @And you will take it to him, so that he may have a good meal and give you his blessing before his death.

bbe@Genesis:27:14 @So he went and got them and took them to his mother: and she made a meal to his father's taste.

bbe@Genesis:27:31 @And he made ready a meal, good to the taste, and took it to his father, and said to him, Let my father get up and take of his son's meat, so that you may give me a blessing.

bbe@Genesis:27:33 @And in great fear Isaac said, Who then is he who got meat and put it before me, and I took it all before you came, and gave him a blessing, and his it will be?

bbe@Genesis:27:37 @And Isaac answering said, But I have made him your master, and have given him all his brothers for servants; I have made him strong with grain and wine: what then am I to do for you, my son?

bbe@Genesis:28:3 @And may God, the Ruler of all, give you his blessing, giving you fruit and increase, so that you may become an army of peoples.

bbe@Genesis:28:9 @So Esau went to Ishmael and took Mahalath, the daughter of Abraham's son Ishmael, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife in addition to the wives he had.

bbe@Genesis:28:14 @Your seed will be like the dust of the earth, covering all the land to the west and to the east, to the north and to the south: you and your seed will be a name of blessing to all the families of the earth.

bbe@Genesis:28:22 @And this stone which I have put up for a pillar will be God's house: and of all you give me, I will give a tenth part to you.

bbe@Genesis:29:3 @And all the flocks would come together there, and when the stone had been rolled away, they would give the sheep water, and put the stone back again in its place on the mouth of the water-hole.

bbe@Genesis:29:8 @And they said, We are not able to do so till all the flocks have come together and the stone has been rolled away from the mouth of the water-hole; then we will get water for the sheep.

bbe@Genesis:29:9 @While he was still talking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she took care of them.

bbe@Genesis:29:22 @And Laban got together all the men of the place and gave a feast.

bbe@Genesis:29:25 @And in the morning Jacob saw that it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What have you done to me? was I not working for you so that I might have Rachel? why have you been false to me?

bbe@Genesis:30:8 @And Rachel said, I have had a great fight with my sister, and I have overcome her: and she gave the child the name Naphtali.

bbe@Genesis:30:13 @And Leah said, Happy am I! and all women will give witness to my joy: and she gave him the name Asher.

bbe@Genesis:30:15 @But Leah said to her, Is it a small thing that you have taken my husband from me? and now would you take my son's love-fruits? Then Rachel said, You may have him tonight in exchange for your son's love-fruits.

bbe@Genesis:30:26 @Give me my wives and my children, for whom I have been your servant, and let me go: for you have knowledge of all the work I have done for you.

bbe@Genesis:30:32 @Let me go through all your flock today, taking out from among them all the sheep which are marked or coloured or black, and all the marked or coloured goats: these will be my payment.

bbe@Genesis:30:35 @So that day he took all the he-goats which were banded or coloured, and all the she-goats which were marked or coloured or had white marks, and all the black sheep, and gave them into the care of his sons;

bbe@Genesis:30:43 @So Jacob's wealth was greatly increased; he had great flocks and women-servants and men-servants and camels and asses.

bbe@Genesis:31:1 @Now it came to the ears of Jacob that Laban's sons were saying, Jacob has taken away all our father's property, and in this way he has got all this wealth.

bbe@Genesis:31:6 @And you have seen how I have done all in my power for your father,

bbe@Genesis:31:8 @If he said, All those in the flock which have marks are to be yours, then all the flock gave birth to marked young; and if he said, All the banded ones are to be yours, then all the flock had banded young.

bbe@Genesis:31:10 @And at the time when the flock were with young, I saw in a dream that all the he-goats which were joined with the she-goats were banded and marked and coloured.

bbe@Genesis:31:12 @And he said, See how all the he-goats are banded and marked and coloured: for I have seen what Laban has done to you.

bbe@Genesis:31:15 @Are we not as people from a strange country to him? for he took a price for us and now it is all used up.

bbe@Genesis:31:16 @For the wealth which God has taken from him is ours and our children's; so now, whatever God has said to you, do.

bbe@Genesis:31:18 @And sending on before him all his cattle and his property which he had got together in Paddan-aram, he made ready to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Genesis:31:21 @So he went away with all he had, and went across the River in the direction of the hill-country of Gilead

bbe@Genesis:31:32 @As for your gods, if anyone of us has them, let him be put to death: make search before us all for what is yours, and take it. For Jacob had no knowledge that Rachel had taken them.

bbe@Genesis:31:34 @Now Rachel had taken the images, and had put them in the camels' basket, and was seated on them. And Laban, searching through all the tent, did not come across them.

bbe@Genesis:31:35 @And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry because I do not get up before you, for I am in the common condition of women. And with all his searching, he did not come across the images.

bbe@Genesis:31:37 @Now that you have made search through all my goods, what have you seen which is yours? Make it clear now before my people and your people, so that they may be judges between us.

bbe@Genesis:31:43 @Then Laban, answering, said, These women are my daughters and these children my children, the flocks and all you see are mine: what now may I do for my daughters and for their children?

bbe@Genesis:31:46 @And Jacob said to his people, Get stones together; and they did so; and they had a meal there by the stones.

bbe@Genesis:31:47 @And the name Laban gave it was Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob gave it the name of Galeed.

bbe@Genesis:31:48 @And Laban said, These stones are a witness between you and me today. For this reason its name was Galeed,

bbe@Genesis:31:54 @And Jacob made an offering on the mountain, and gave orders to his people to take food: so they had a meal and took their rest that night on the mountain.

bbe@Genesis:32:7 @Then Jacob was in great fear and trouble of mind: and he put all the people and the flocks and the herds and the camels into two groups;

bbe@Genesis:32:10 @I am less than nothing in comparison with all your mercies and your faith to me your servant; for with only my stick in my hand I went across Jordan, and now I have become two armies.

bbe@Genesis:32:14 @Two hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred females and twenty males from the sheep,

bbe@Genesis:32:19 @And he gave the same orders to the second and the third and to all those who were with the herds, saying, This is what you are to say to Esau when you see him;

bbe@Genesis:32:23 @He took them and sent them over the stream with all he had

bbe@Genesis:32:31 @And while he was going past Peniel, the sun came up. And he went with unequal steps because of his damaged leg.

bbe@Genesis:33:8 @And he said, What were all those herds which I saw on the way? And Jacob said, They were an offering so that I might have grace in my lord's eyes.

bbe@Genesis:33:13 @But Jacob said, My lord may see that the children are only small, and there are young ones in my flocks and herds: one day's over-driving will be the destruction of all the flock.

bbe@Genesis:33:20 @And there he put up an altar, naming it El, the God of Israel.

bbe@Genesis:34:6 @Then Hamor, the father of Shechem, came out to have a talk with Jacob.

bbe@Genesis:34:13 @But the sons of Jacob gave a false answer to Shechem and Hamor his father, because of what had been done to Dinah their sister.

bbe@Genesis:34:15 @But on this condition only will we come to an agreement with you: if every male among you becomes like us and undergoes circumcision;

bbe@Genesis:34:22 @But these men will make an agreement with us to go on living with us and to become one people, only on the condition that every male among us undergoes circumcision as they have done.

bbe@Genesis:34:23 @Then will not their cattle and their goods and all their beasts be ours? so let us come to an agreement with them so that they may go on living with us.

bbe@Genesis:34:24 @Then all the men of the town gave ear to the words of Hamor and Shechem his son; and every male in the town underwent circumcision.

bbe@Genesis:34:25 @But on the third day after, before the wounds were well, two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, took their swords and came into the town by surprise and put all the males to death.

bbe@Genesis:34:29 @And all their wealth and all their little ones and their wives; everything in their houses they took and made them waste.

bbe@Genesis:34:30 @And Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, You have made trouble for me and given me a bad name among the people of this country, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites: and because we are small in number they will come together against me and make war on me; and it will be the end of me and all my people.

bbe@Genesis:35:1 @And God said to Jacob, Go up now to Beth-el and make your living-place there: and put up an altar there to the God who came to you when you were in flight from your brother Esau.

bbe@Genesis:35:2 @Then Jacob said to all his people, Put away the strange gods which are among you, and make yourselves clean, and put on a change of clothing:

bbe@Genesis:35:3 @And let us go up to Beth-el: and there I will make an altar to God, who gave me an answer in the day of my trouble, and was with me wherever I went.

bbe@Genesis:35:4 @Then they gave to Jacob all the strange gods which they had, and the rings which were in their ears; and Jacob put them away under the holy tree at Shechem.

bbe@Genesis:35:6 @And Jacob came to Luz in the land of Canaan (which is the same as Beth-el), he and all his people.

bbe@Genesis:35:7 @And there he made an altar, naming the place El-beth-el: because it was there he had the vision of God when he was in flight from his brother.

bbe@Genesis:35:8 @And Deborah, the servant who had taken care of Rebekah from her birth, came to her end, and was put to rest near Beth-el, under the holy tree: and they gave it the name of Allon-bacuth.

bbe@Genesis:35:11 @And God said to him, I am God, the Ruler of all: be fertile, and have increase; a nation, truly a group of nations, will come from you, and kings will be your offspring;

bbe@Genesis:35:13 @Then God went up from him in the place where he had been talking with him.

bbe@Genesis:35:14 @And Jacob put up a pillar in the place where he had been talking with God, and put a drink offering on it, and oil.

bbe@Genesis:35:15 @And he gave to the place where God had been talking with him, the name of Beth-el.

bbe@Genesis:35:25 @The sons of Bilhah, Rachel's servant: Dan and Naphtali;

bbe@Genesis:36:5 @Oholibamah was the mother of Jeush, Jalam, and Korah; these are the sons of Esau, whose birth took place in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Genesis:36:6 @Esau took his wives and his sons and his daughters, and all the people of his house, and his beasts and his cattle and all his goods which he had got together in the land of Canaan, and went into the land of Seir, away from his brother Jacob.

bbe@Genesis:36:7 @For their wealth was so great that the land was not wide enough for the two of them and all their cattle.

bbe@Genesis:36:12 @And Eliphaz, the son of Esau, had connection with a woman named Timna, who gave birth to Amalek: all these were the children of Esau's wife Adah.

bbe@Genesis:36:14 @And these are the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon: she was the mother of Jeush, Jalam, and Korah.

bbe@Genesis:36:16 @Korah, Gatam, Amalek: all these were chiefs in the land of Edom, the offspring of Eliphaz, the seed of Adah.

bbe@Genesis:36:18 @And these are the sons of Esau's wife Oholibamah: Jeush, Jalam, and Korah: these were the chiefs who came from Esau's wife Oholibamah, daughter of Anah.

bbe@Genesis:36:20 @These are the sons of Seir the Horite who were living in that country; Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

bbe@Genesis:36:23 @And these are the children of Shobal: Alvan, Manahath, Ebal, Shepho, and Onam.

bbe@Genesis:36:29 @These were the Horite chiefs: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,

bbe@Genesis:36:38 @And at the death of Shaul, Baal-hanan, son of Achbor, became king.

bbe@Genesis:36:39 @And at the death of Baal-hanan, Hadar became king in his place; his chief town was named Pau, and his wife's name was Mehetabel; she was the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Me-zahab.

bbe@Genesis:36:40 @These are the names of the chiefs of Esau in the order of their families and their places: Timna, Alvah, Jetheth,

bbe@Genesis:37:3 @Now the love which Israel had for Joseph was greater than his love for all his other children, because he got him when he was an old man: and he had a long coat made for him.

bbe@Genesis:37:4 @And because his brothers saw that Joseph was dearer to his father than all the others, they were full of hate for him, and would not say a kind word to him.

bbe@Genesis:37:14 @And he said to him, Go now, and see if your brothers are well and how the flock is; then come back and give me word. So he sent him out of the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

bbe@Genesis:37:25 @Then seating themselves, they took their meal: and looking up, they saw a travelling band of Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead on their way to Egypt, with spices and perfumes on their camels.

bbe@Genesis:37:35 @And all his sons and all his daughters came to give him comfort, but he would not be comforted, saying with weeping, I will go down to the underworld to my son. So great was his father's sorrow for him.

bbe@Genesis:39:4 @And having a high opinion of Joseph as his servant, he made him the overseer of his house and gave him control over all he had.

bbe@Genesis:39:5 @And from the time when he made him overseer and gave him control of all his property, the blessing of the Lord was with the Egyptian, because of Joseph; the blessing of the Lord was on all he had, in the house and in the field.

bbe@Genesis:39:6 @And he gave Joseph control of all his property, keeping no account of anything, but only the food which was put before him. Now Joseph was very beautiful in form and face.

bbe@Genesis:39:8 @But he would not, and said to her, You see that my master keeps no account of what I do in his house, and has put all his property in my control;

bbe@Genesis:39:22 @And the keeper of the prison put all the prisoners under Joseph's control, and he was responsible for whatever was done there.

bbe@Genesis:40:5 @And these two had a dream on the same night; the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker of the king of Egypt, who were in prison, the two of them had dreams with a special sense.

bbe@Genesis:40:17 @And in the top basket were all sorts of cooked meats for Pharaoh; and the birds were taking them out of the baskets on my head.

bbe@Genesis:40:20 @Now the third day was Pharaoh's birthday, and he gave a feast for all his servants; and he gave honour to the chief wine-servant and the chief bread-maker among the others.

bbe@Genesis:41:4 @And the seven thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows. Then Pharaoh came out of his sleep.

bbe@Genesis:41:5 @But he went to sleep again and had a second dream, in which he saw seven heads of grain, full and good, all on one stem.

bbe@Genesis:41:7 @And the seven thin heads made a meal of the good heads. And when Pharaoh was awake he saw it was a dream.

bbe@Genesis:41:8 @And in the morning his spirit was troubled; and he sent for all the wise men of Egypt and all the holy men, and put his dream before them, but no one was able to give him the sense of it.

bbe@Genesis:41:11 @And we had a dream on the same night, the two of us, and the dreams had a special sense.

bbe@Genesis:41:20 @And the thin cows made a meal of the seven fat cows who came up first;

bbe@Genesis:41:24 @And the seven thin heads made a meal of the seven good heads; and I put this dream before the wise men, but not one of them was able to give me the sense of it.

bbe@Genesis:41:29 @Seven years are coming in which there will be great wealth of grain in Egypt;

bbe@Genesis:41:35 @And let them get together all the food in those good years and make a store of grain under Pharaoh's control for the use of the towns, and let them keep it.

bbe@Genesis:41:37 @And this seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.

bbe@Genesis:41:39 @And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Seeing that God has made all this clear to you, there is no other man of such wisdom and good sense as you:

bbe@Genesis:41:40 @You, then, are to be over my house, and all my people will be ruled by your word: only as king will I be greater than you.

bbe@Genesis:41:41 @And Pharaoh said to Joseph, See, I have put you over all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:41:43 @And he made him take his seat in the second of his carriages; and they went before him crying, Make way! So he made him ruler over all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:41:44 @Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, I am Pharaoh; and without your order no man may do anything in all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:41:45 @And Pharaoh gave Joseph the name of Zaphnath-paaneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, the priest of On, to be his wife. So Joseph went through all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:41:46 @Now Joseph was thirty years old when he came before Pharaoh, king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from before the face of Pharaoh and went through all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:41:48 @And Joseph got together all the food of those seven years, and made a store of food in the towns: the produce of the fields round every town was stored up in the town.

bbe@Genesis:41:51 @And to the first he gave the name Manasseh, for he said, God has taken away from me all memory of my hard life and of my father's house.

bbe@Genesis:41:55 @And when all the land of Egypt was in need of food, the people came crying to Pharaoh for bread; and Pharaoh said to the people, Go to Joseph, and whatever he says to you, do it.

bbe@Genesis:41:56 @And everywhere on the earth they were short of food; then Joseph, opening all his store-houses, gave the people of Egypt grain for money; so great was the need of food in the land of Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:41:57 @And all lands sent to Egypt, to Joseph, to get grain, for the need was great over all the earth.

bbe@Genesis:42:5 @And the sons of Israel came with all the others to get grain: for they were very short of food in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Genesis:42:6 @Now Joseph was ruler over all the land, and it was he who gave out the grain to all the people of the land; and Joseph's brothers came before him and went down on their faces to the earth.

bbe@Genesis:42:7 @And when Joseph saw his brothers, it was clear to him who they were, but he made himself strange to them, and talking roughly to them, said, Where do you come from? And they said, From the land of Canaan, to get food.

bbe@Genesis:42:11 @We are all one man's sons, we are true men; we have not come with any secret purpose.

bbe@Genesis:42:23 @They were not conscious that the sense of their words was clear to Joseph, for he had been talking to them through one who had knowledge of their language.

bbe@Genesis:42:24 @And turning away from them, he was overcome with weeping; then he went on talking to them again and took Simeon and put chains on him before their eyes.

bbe@Genesis:42:29 @So when they came to Jacob their father, in the land of Canaan, they gave him an account of all their experiences, saying,

bbe@Genesis:42:36 @And Jacob their father said to them, You have taken my children from me: Joseph is gone and Simeon is gone, and now you would take Benjamin away; all these things have come on me.

bbe@Genesis:42:38 @And he said, I will not let my son go down with you; for his brother is dead and he is all I have: if evil overtakes him on the journey, then through you will my grey head go down to the underworld in sorrow.

bbe@Genesis:43:2 @And when the grain which they had got in Egypt was all used up, their father said to them, Go again and get us a little food.

bbe@Genesis:43:14 @And may God, the Ruler of all, give you mercy before the man, so that he may give you back your other brother and Benjamin. If my children are to be taken from me; there is no help for it.

bbe@Genesis:43:16 @And when Joseph saw Benjamin, he said to his chief servant, Take these men into my house, and make ready a meal, for they will take food with me in the middle of the day.

bbe@Genesis:43:21 @And when we came to our night's resting-place, on opening our bags we saw that every man's money was in the mouth of his bag, all our money in full weight: and we have it with us to give it back;

bbe@Genesis:43:23 @Then the servant said, Peace be with you: have no fear: your God, even the God of your father, has put wealth in your bags for you: I had your money. Then he let Simeon come out to them.

bbe@Genesis:43:25 @And they got ready the things for Joseph before he came in the middle of the day: for word was given to them that they were to have a meal there.

bbe@Genesis:43:27 @And he said, How are you? is your father well, the old man of whom you were talking to me? is he still living?

bbe@Genesis:43:32 @And they put a meal ready for him by himself, and for them by themselves, and for the Egyptians who were with him by themselves; because the Egyptians may not take food with the Hebrews, for that would make them unclean.

bbe@Genesis:43:33 @And they were all given their seats before him in order of birth, from the oldest to the youngest: so that they were looking at one another in wonder.

bbe@Genesis:45:2 @And so loud was his weeping, that it came to the ears of the Egyptians and all Pharaoh's house.

bbe@Genesis:45:8 @So now it was not you who sent me here, but God: and he has made me as a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:45:9 @Now go quickly to my father, and say to him, Your son Joseph says, God has made me ruler over all the land of Egypt: come down to me straight away:

bbe@Genesis:45:10 @The land of Goshen will be your living-place, and you will be near me; you and your children and your children's children, and your flocks and herds and all you have:

bbe@Genesis:45:13 @Give my father word of all my glory in Egypt and of all you have seen; and come back quickly with my father.

bbe@Genesis:45:15 @Then he gave a kiss to all his brothers, weeping over them; and after that his brothers had no fear of talking to him.

bbe@Genesis:45:18 @And get your father and your families and come back to me: and I will give you all the good things of Egypt, and the fat of the land will be your food.

bbe@Genesis:45:20 @And take no thought for your goods, for the best of all the land of Egypt is yours.

bbe@Genesis:45:26 @And they said to him, Joseph is living, and is ruler over all the land of Egypt. And at this word Jacob was quite overcome, for he had no faith in it.

bbe@Genesis:46:1 @And Israel went on his journey with all he had, and came to Beer-sheba, where he made offerings to the God of his father Isaac.

bbe@Genesis:46:6 @And they took their cattle and all the goods which they had got in the land of Canaan, and came to Egypt, even Jacob and all his seed:

bbe@Genesis:46:7 @His sons and his sons' sons, his daughters and his daughters' sons and all his family he took with him into Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:46:8 @And these are the names of the children of Israel who came into Egypt, even Jacob and all his sons: Reuben, Jacob's oldest son;

bbe@Genesis:46:9 @And the sons of Reuben: Hanoch and Pallu and Hezron and Carmi;

bbe@Genesis:46:15 @All these, together with his daughter Dinah, were the children of Leah, whom Jacob had by her in Paddan-aram; they were thirty-three in number.

bbe@Genesis:46:17 @And the sons of Asher: Jimnah and Ishvah and Ishvi and Beriah, and Sarah, their sister; and the sons of Beriah: Heber and Malchiel.

bbe@Genesis:46:22 @All these were the children of Rachel whom Jacob had by her, fourteen persons.

bbe@Genesis:46:24 @And the sons of Naphtali: Jahzeel and Guni and Jezer and Shillem.

bbe@Genesis:46:26 @All the persons who came with Jacob into Egypt, the offspring of his body, were sixty-six, without taking into account the wives of Jacob's sons.

bbe@Genesis:46:32 @And these men are keepers of sheep and owners of cattle, and have with them their flocks and their herds and all they have.

bbe@Genesis:47:1 @Then Joseph went to Pharaoh, and said, My father and my brothers with their flocks and their herds and all they have, are come from Canaan, and are now in the land of Goshen.

bbe@Genesis:47:6 @And Jacob and his sons came to Joseph in Egypt, and when word of it came to the ears of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, he said to Joseph, Your father and brothers have come to you; all the land of Egypt is before you; let your father and your brothers have the best of the land for their resting-place.

bbe@Genesis:47:9 @And Jacob said, The years of my wanderings have been a hundred and thirty; small in number and full of sorrow have been the years of my life, and less than the years of the wanderings of my fathers.

bbe@Genesis:47:12 @And Joseph took care of his father and his brothers and all his father's people, giving them food for the needs of their families.

bbe@Genesis:47:13 @Now there was no food to be had in all the land, so that all Egypt and Canaan were wasted from need of food.

bbe@Genesis:47:14 @And all the money in Egypt and in the land of Canaan which had been given for grain, came into the hands of Joseph: and he put it in Pharaoh's house.

bbe@Genesis:47:15 @And when all the money in Egypt and Canaan was gone, the Egyptians came to Joseph, and said, Give us bread; would you have us come to destruction before your eyes? for we have no more money.

bbe@Genesis:47:16 @And Joseph said, Give me your cattle; I will give you grain in exchange for your cattle if your money is all gone.

bbe@Genesis:47:17 @So they took their cattle to Joseph and he gave them bread in exchange for their horses and flocks and herds and asses, so all that year he gave them food in exchange for their cattle.

bbe@Genesis:47:18 @And when that year was ended, they came to him in the second year, and said, We may not keep it from our lord's knowledge that all our money is gone, and all the herds of cattle are my lord's; there is nothing more to give my lord but our bodies and our land;

bbe@Genesis:47:20 @So Joseph got all the land in Egypt for Pharaoh; for every Egyptian gave up his land in exchange for food, because of their great need; so all the land became Pharaoh's.

bbe@Genesis:47:27 @And so Israel was living among the Egyptians in the land of Goshen; and they got property there, and became very great in numbers and in wealth.

bbe@Genesis:48:2 @And when they said to Jacob, Your son Joseph is coming to see you: then Israel, getting all his strength together, had himself lifted up in his bed.

bbe@Genesis:48:3 @And Jacob said to Joseph, God, the Ruler of all, came to me in a vision at Luz in the land of Canaan, and gave me his blessing,

bbe@Genesis:48:15 @And he gave Joseph a blessing, saying, May the God to whom my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, gave worship, the God who has taken care of me all my life till this day,

bbe@Genesis:48:16 @The angel who has been my saviour from all evil, send his blessing on these children: and let my name and the name of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac, be given to them; and let them become a great nation in the earth.

bbe@Genesis:49:1 @And Jacob sent for his sons, and said, Come together, all of you, so that I may give you news of your fate in future times.

bbe@Genesis:49:17 @May Dan be a snake in the way, a horned snake by the road, biting the horse's foot so that the horseman has a fall.

bbe@Genesis:49:18 @I have been waiting for your salvation, O Lord.

bbe@Genesis:49:21 @Naphtali is a roe let loose, giving fair young ones.

bbe@Genesis:49:25 @Even by the God of your father, who will be your help, and by the Ruler of all, who will make you full with blessings from heaven on high, blessings of the deep stretched out under the earth, blessings of the breasts and of the fertile body:

bbe@Genesis:49:26 @Blessings of sons, old and young, to the father: blessings of the oldest mountains and the fruit of the eternal hills: let them come on the head of Joseph, on the crown of him who was separate from his brothers.

bbe@Genesis:50:7 @So Joseph went up to put his father in his last resting-place; and with him went all the servants of Pharaoh, and the chief men of his house and all the chiefs of the land of Egypt,

bbe@Genesis:50:8 @And all the family of Joseph, and his brothers and his father's people: only their little ones and their flocks and herds they did not take with them from the land of Goshen.

bbe@Genesis:50:14 @And when his father had been put to rest, Joseph and his brothers and all who had gone with him, went back to Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:50:15 @Now after the death of their father, Joseph's brothers said to themselves, It may be that Joseph's heart will be turned against us, and he will give us punishment for all the evil which we did to him.

bbe@Genesis:50:18 @Then his brothers went, and falling at his feet, said, Truly, we are your servants.

bbe@Genesis:50:20 @As for you, it was in your mind to do me evil, but God has given a happy outcome, the salvation of numbers of people, as you see today.

bbe@Genesis:50:22 @Now Joseph and all his father's family went on living in Egypt: and the years of Joseph's life were a hundred and ten.

bbe@Exodus:1:4 @Dan and Naphtali, Gad and Asher.

bbe@Exodus:1:5 @All the offspring of Jacob were seventy persons: and Joseph had come to Egypt before them.

bbe@Exodus:1:6 @Then Joseph came to his end, and all his brothers, and all that generation.

bbe@Exodus:1:12 @But the more cruel they were to them, the more their number increased, till all the land was full of them. And the children of Israel were hated by the Egyptians.

bbe@Exodus:1:14 @And made their lives bitter with hard work, making building-material and bricks, and doing all sorts of work in the fields under the hardest conditions.

bbe@Exodus:1:17 @But the women had the fear of God, and did not do as the king of Egypt said, but let the male children go on living.

bbe@Exodus:1:18 @And the king of Egypt sent for the women, and said to them, Why have you done this, and let the male children go on living?

bbe@Exodus:1:22 @And Pharaoh gave orders to all his people, saying, Every son who comes to birth is to be put into the river, but every daughter may go on living.

bbe@Exodus:2:5 @Now Pharaoh's daughter came down to the Nile to take a bath, while her women were walking by the riverside; and she saw the basket among the river-plants, and sent her servant-girl to get it.

bbe@Exodus:2:20 @And he said to his daughters, Where is he? why have you let the man go? make him come in and give him a meal.

bbe@Exodus:3:15 @And God went on to say to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is my name for ever, and this is my sign to all generations.

bbe@Exodus:3:20 @But I will put out my hand and overcome Egypt with all the wonders which I will do among them: and after that he will let you go.

bbe@Exodus:4:10 @And Moses said to the Lord, O Lord, I am not a man of words; I have never been so, and am not now, even after what you have said to your servant: for talking is hard for me, and I am slow of tongue

bbe@Exodus:4:14 @And the Lord was angry with Moses, and said, Is there not Aaron, your brother, the Levite? To my knowledge he is good at talking. And now he is coming out to you: and when he sees you he will be glad in his heart.

bbe@Exodus:4:16 @And he will do the talking for you to the people: he will be to you as a mouth and you will be to him as God.

bbe@Exodus:4:19 @And the Lord said to Moses in Midian, Go back to Egypt, for all the men are dead who were attempting to take your life.

bbe@Exodus:4:21 @And the Lord said to Moses, When you go back to Egypt, see that you do before Pharaoh all the wonders which I have given you power to do: but I will make his heart hard and he will not let the people go.

bbe@Exodus:4:28 @And Moses gave Aaron an account of all the words of the Lord which he had sent him to say, and of all the signs which he had given him orders to do.

bbe@Exodus:4:29 @Then Moses and Aaron went and got together all the chiefs of the children of Israel:

bbe@Exodus:4:30 @And Aaron said to them all the words the Lord had said to Moses, and did the signs before all the people.

bbe@Exodus:5:7 @Give these men no more dry stems for their brick-making as you have been doing; let them go and get the material for themselves.

bbe@Exodus:5:9 @Give the men harder work, and see that they do it; let them not give attention to false words.

bbe@Exodus:5:12 @So the people were sent in all directions through the land of Egypt to get dry grass for stems

bbe@Exodus:6:3 @I let myself be seen by Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God, the Ruler of all; but they had no knowledge of my name Yahweh.

bbe@Exodus:6:14 @These are the heads of their fathers' families: the sons of Reuben the oldest son of Israel: Hanoch and Pallu, Hezron and Carmi: these are the families of Reuben

bbe@Exodus:7:12 @For every one of them put down his rod on the earth, and they became snakes: but Aaron's rod made a meal of their rods.

bbe@Exodus:7:19 @And the Lord said, Say to Aaron, Let the rod in your hand be stretched out over the waters of Egypt, and over the rivers and the streams and the pools, and over every stretch of water, so that they may be turned to blood; and there will be blood through all the land of Egypt, in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.

bbe@Exodus:7:20 @And Moses and Aaron did as the Lord had said; and when his rod had been lifted up and stretched out over the waters of the Nile before the eyes of Pharaoh and his servants, all the water in the Nile was turned to blood;

bbe@Exodus:7:21 @And the fish in the Nile came to destruction, and a bad smell went up from the river, and the Egyptians were not able to make use of the water of the Nile for drinking; and there was blood through all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:7:24 @And all the Egyptians made holes round about the Nile to get drinking-water, for they were not able to make use of the Nile water.

bbe@Exodus:8:4 @The frogs will come up over you and your people and all your servants.

bbe@Exodus:8:6 @And when Aaron put out his hand over the waters of Egypt, the frogs came up and all the land of Egypt was covered with them.

bbe@Exodus:8:13 @And the Lord did as Moses said; and there was an end of all the frogs in the houses and in the open spaces and in the fields.

bbe@Exodus:8:16 @And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Let your rod be stretched out over the dust of the earth so that it may become insects through all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:8:17 @And they did so; and Aaron, stretching out the rod in his hand, gave a touch to the dust of the earth, and insects came on man and on beast; all the dust of the earth was changed into insects through all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:8:22 @And at that time I will make a division between your land and the land of Goshen where my people are, and no flies will be there; so that you may see that I am the Lord over all the earth.

bbe@Exodus:8:24 @And the Lord did so; and great clouds of flies came into the house of Pharaoh and into his servants' houses, and all the land of Egypt was made waste because of the flies.

bbe@Exodus:9:6 @And on the day after, the Lord did as he had said, causing the death of all the cattle of Egypt, but there was no loss of any of the cattle of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:9:9 @And it will become small dust over all the land of Egypt, and will be a skin-disease bursting out in wounds on man and beast through all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:9:11 @And the wonder-workers were not able to take their places before Moses, because of the disease; for the disease was on the wonder-workers and on all the Egyptians.

bbe@Exodus:9:14 @For this time I will send all my punishments on yourself and on your servants and on your people; so that you may see that there is no other like me in all the earth.

bbe@Exodus:9:16 @But, for this very reason, I have kept you from destruction, to make clear to you my power, and so that my name may be honoured through all the earth.

bbe@Exodus:9:19 @Then send quickly and get in your cattle and all you have from the fields; for if any man or beast in the field has not been put under cover, the ice-storm will come down on them with destruction.

bbe@Exodus:9:22 @And the Lord said to Moses, Now let your hand be stretched out to heaven so that there may be an ice-storm on all the land of Egypt, on man and on beast and on every plant of the field through all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:9:24 @So there was an ice-storm with fire running through it, coming down with great force, such as never was in all the land of Egypt from the time when it became a nation.

bbe@Exodus:9:25 @And through all the land of Egypt the ice-storm came down on everything which was in the fields, on man and on beast; and every green plant was crushed and every tree of the field broken.

bbe@Exodus:9:31 @And the flax and the barley were damaged, for the barley was almost ready to be cut and the flax was in flower.

bbe@Exodus:9:33 @So Moses went out of the town, and stretching out his hands made prayer to God: and the thunders and the ice-storm came to an end; and the fall of rain was stopped.

bbe@Exodus:10:6 @And your houses will be full of them, and the houses of your servants and of all the Egyptians; it will be worse than anything your fathers have seen or their fathers, from the day when they were living on the earth till this day. And so he went out from Pharaoh.

bbe@Exodus:10:11 @Not so; but let your males go and give worship to the Lord, as your desire is. This he said, driving them out from before him.

bbe@Exodus:10:13 @And Moses' rod was stretched out over the land of Egypt, and the Lord sent an east wind over the land all that day and all the night; and in the morning the locusts came up with the east wind.

bbe@Exodus:10:14 @And the locusts went up over all the land of Egypt, resting on every part of the land, in very great numbers; such an army of locusts had never been seen before, and never will be again.

bbe@Exodus:10:15 @For all the face of the earth was covered with them, so that the land was black; and every green plant and all the fruit of the trees which was untouched by the ice-storm they took for food: not one green thing, no plant or tree, was to be seen in all the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:10:21 @And the Lord said to Moses, Let your hand be stretched out to heaven, and all the land of Egypt will be dark, so that men will be feeling their way about in the dark.

bbe@Exodus:10:22 @And when Moses' hand was stretched out, dark night came over all the land of Egypt for three days;

bbe@Exodus:11:5 @And death will come to every mother's first male child in all the land of Egypt, from the child of Pharaoh on his seat of power, to the child of the servant-girl crushing the grain; and the first births of all the cattle.

bbe@Exodus:11:6 @And there will be a great cry through all the land of Egypt, such as never has been or will be again.

bbe@Exodus:11:8 @And all these your servants will come to me, going down on their faces before me and saying, Go out, and all your people with you: and after that I will go out. And he went away from Pharaoh burning with wrath.

bbe@Exodus:11:10 @All these wonders Moses and Aaron did before Pharaoh: but the Lord made Pharaoh's heart hard, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.

bbe@Exodus:12:3 @Say to all the children of Israel when they are come together, In the tenth day of this month every man is to take a lamb, by the number of their fathers' families, a lamb for every family:

bbe@Exodus:12:5 @Let your lamb be without a mark, a male in its first year: you may take it from among the sheep or the goats:

bbe@Exodus:12:7 @Then take some of the blood and put it on the two sides of the door and over the door of the house where the meal is to be taken.

bbe@Exodus:12:11 @And take your meal dressed as if for a journey, with your shoes on your feet and your sticks in your hands: take it quickly: it is the Lord's Passover.

bbe@Exodus:12:12 @For on that night I will go through the land of Egypt, sending death on every first male child, of man and of beast, and judging all the gods of Egypt: I am the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:12:14 @And this day is to be kept in your memories: you are to keep it as a feast to the Lord through all your generations, as an order for ever.

bbe@Exodus:12:17 @So keep the feast of unleavened bread; for on this very day I have taken your armies out of the land of Egypt: this day, then, is to be kept through all your generations by an order for ever.

bbe@Exodus:12:29 @And in the middle of the night the Lord sent death on every first male child in the land of Egypt, from the child of Pharaoh on his seat of power to the child of the prisoner in the prison; and the first births of all the cattle.

bbe@Exodus:12:30 @Then Pharaoh got up in the night, he and all his servants and all the Egyptians; and a great cry went up from Egypt; for there was not a house where someone was not dead.

bbe@Exodus:12:33 @And the Egyptians were forcing the people on, to get them out of the land quickly; for they said, We are all dead men.

bbe@Exodus:12:36 @And the Lord had given the people grace in the eyes of the Egyptians so that they gave them whatever was requested. So they took away all their goods from the Egyptians.

bbe@Exodus:12:41 @And at the end of four hundred and thirty years, to the very day, all the armies of the Lord went out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:12:42 @It is a watch-night before the Lord who took them out of the land of Egypt: this same night is a watch-night to the Lord for all the children of Israel, through all their generations.

bbe@Exodus:12:47 @All Israel is to keep the feast.

bbe@Exodus:12:48 @And if a man from another country is living with you, and has a desire to keep the Passover to the Lord, let all the males of his family undergo circumcision, and then let him come near and keep it; for he will then be as one of your people; but no one without circumcision may keep it.

bbe@Exodus:13:2 @Let the first male child of every mother among the children of Israel be kept holy for me, even the first male birth among man or beast; for it is mine.

bbe@Exodus:13:7 @Unleavened cakes are to be your food through all the seven days; let no leavened bread be seen among you, or any leaven, in any part of your land.

bbe@Exodus:13:12 @You are to put on one side for the Lord every mother's first male child, the first-fruit of her body, and the first young one of every beast; every male is holy to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:13:13 @And for the young of an ass you may give a lamb in payment, or if you will not make payment for it, its neck is to be broken; but for all the first sons among your children, let payment be made.

bbe@Exodus:13:15 @And when Pharaoh made his heart hard and would not let us go, the Lord sent death on all the first sons in Egypt, of man and of beast: and so every first male who comes to birth is offered to the Lord; but for all the first of my sons I give a price

bbe@Exodus:14:2 @Give orders to the children of Israel to go back and put up their tents before Pi-hahiroth, between Migdol and the sea, in front of Baal-zephon, opposite to which you are to put up your tents by the sea.

bbe@Exodus:14:4 @And I will make Pharaoh's heart hard, and he will come after them and I will be honoured over Pharaoh and all his army, so that the Egyptians may see that I am the Lord. And they did so.

bbe@Exodus:14:7 @And he took six hundred carriages, all the carriages of Egypt, and captains over all of them.

bbe@Exodus:14:9 @But the Egyptians went after them, all the horses and carriages of Pharaoh, and his horsemen, and his army, and overtook them in their tents by the sea, by Pihahiroth, before Baal-zephon.

bbe@Exodus:14:13 @But Moses said, Keep where you are and have no fear; now you will see the salvation of the Lord which he will give you today; for the Egyptians whom you see today you will never see again.

bbe@Exodus:14:20 @And it came between the army of Egypt and the army of Israel; and there was a dark cloud between them, and they went on through the night; but the one army came no nearer to the other all the night.

bbe@Exodus:14:21 @And when Moses' hand was stretched out over the sea, the Lord with a strong east wind made the sea go back all night, and the waters were parted in two and the sea became dry land.

bbe@Exodus:14:22 @And the children of Israel went through the sea on dry land: and the waters were a wall on their right side and on their left.

bbe@Exodus:14:23 @Then the Egyptians went after them into the middle of the sea, all Pharaoh's horses and his war-carriages and his horsemen.

bbe@Exodus:14:28 @And the waters came back, covering the war-carriages and the horsemen and all the army of Pharaoh which went after them into the middle of the sea; not one of them was to be seen.

bbe@Exodus:14:29 @But the children of Israel went through the sea walking on dry land, and the waters were a wall on their right side and on their left.

bbe@Exodus:14:30 @So that day the Lord gave Israel salvation from the hands of the Egyptians; and Israel saw the Egyptians dead on the sea's edge.

bbe@Exodus:15:2 @The Lord is my strength and my strong helper, he has become my salvation: he is my God and I will give him praise; my father's God and I will give him glory.

bbe@Exodus:15:7 @When you are lifted up in power, all those who come against you are crushed: when you send out your wrath, they are burned up like dry grass.

bbe@Exodus:15:15 @The chiefs of Edom were troubled in heart; the strong men of Moab were in the grip of fear: all the people of Canaan became like water.

bbe@Exodus:15:20 @And Miriam, the woman prophet, the sister of Aaron, took an instrument of music in her hand; and all the women went after her with music and dances.

bbe@Exodus:15:26 @And he said, If with all your heart you will give attention to the voice of the Lord your God, and do what is right in his eyes, giving ear to his orders and keeping his laws, I will not put on you any of the diseases which I put on the Egyptians: for I am the Lord your life-giver.

bbe@Exodus:15:27 @And they came to Elim where there were twelve water-springs and seventy palm-trees: and they put up their tents there by the waters.

bbe@Exodus:16:1 @And they went on their way from Elim, and all the children of Israel came into the waste land of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after they went out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:16:2 @And all the children of Israel were crying out against Moses and Aaron in the waste land:

bbe@Exodus:16:3 @And the children of Israel said to them, It would have been better for the Lord to have put us to death in the land of Egypt, where we were seated by the flesh-pots and had bread enough for our needs; for you have taken us out to this waste of sand, to put all this people to death through need of food.

bbe@Exodus:16:6 @And Moses and Aaron said to all the children of Israel, This evening it will be clear to you that it is the Lord who has taken you out of the land of Egypt:

bbe@Exodus:16:9 @And Moses said to Aaron, Say to all the people of Israel, Come near before the Lord for he has given ear to your outcry.

bbe@Exodus:16:10 @And while Aaron was talking to the children of Israel, their eyes were turned in the direction of the waste land, and they saw the glory of the Lord shining in the cloud.

bbe@Exodus:16:12 @The outcry of the children of Israel has come to my ears: say to them now, At nightfall you will have meat for your food, and in the morning bread in full measure; and you will see that I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Exodus:16:13 @And it came about that in the evening little birds came up and the place was covered with them: and in the morning there was dew all round about the tents.

bbe@Exodus:16:14 @And when the dew was gone, on the face of the earth was a small round thing, like small drops of ice on the earth.

bbe@Exodus:16:22 @And on the sixth day they took up twice as much of the bread, two omers for every person: and all the rulers of the people gave Moses word of it.

bbe@Exodus:16:25 @And Moses said, Make your meal today of what you have, for this day is a Sabbath to the Lord: today you will not get any in the fields.

bbe@Exodus:17:4 @And Moses, crying out to the Lord, said, What am I to do to this people? they are almost ready to put me to death by stoning.

bbe@Exodus:17:8 @Then Amalek came and made war on Israel in Rephidim.

bbe@Exodus:17:9 @And Moses said to Joshua, Get together a band of men for us and go out, make war on Amalek: tomorrow I will take my place on the top of the hill with the rod of God in my hand.

bbe@Exodus:17:10 @So Joshua did as Moses said to him, and went to war with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill.

bbe@Exodus:17:11 @Now while Moses' hand was lifted up, Israel was the stronger: but when he let his hand go down, Amalek became the stronger.

bbe@Exodus:17:12 @But Moses' hands became tired; so they put a stone under him and he took his seat on it, Aaron and Hur supporting his hands, one on one side and one on the other; so his hands were kept up without falling till the sun went down.

bbe@Exodus:17:13 @And Joshua overcame Amalek and his people with the sword.

bbe@Exodus:17:14 @And the Lord said to Moses, Make a record of this in a book, so that it may be kept in memory, and say it again in the ears of Joshua: that all memory of Amalek is to be completely uprooted from the earth.

bbe@Exodus:17:15 @Then Moses put up an altar and gave it the name of Yahweh-nissi:

bbe@Exodus:17:16 @For he said, The Lord has taken his oath that there will be war with Amalek from generation to generation.

bbe@Exodus:18:1 @Now news came to Jethro, the priest of Midian, Moses' father-in-law, of all God had done for Moses and for Israel his people, and how the Lord had taken Israel out of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:18:8 @And Moses gave his father-in-law an account of all the Lord had done to Pharaoh and to the Egyptians because of Israel, and of all the troubles which had come on them by the way, and how the Lord had given them salvation.

bbe@Exodus:18:11 @Now I am certain that the Lord is greater than all gods, for he has overcome them in their pride.

bbe@Exodus:18:12 @Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, made a burned offering to God: and Aaron came, with the chiefs of Israel, and had a meal with Moses' father-in-law, before God.

bbe@Exodus:18:14 @And when Moses' father-in-law saw all he was doing, he said, What is this you are doing for the people? why are you seated here by yourself, with all the people waiting before you from morning till evening?

bbe@Exodus:18:22 @And let them be judges in the causes of the people at all times: and let them put before you all important questions, but in small things let them give decisions themselves: in this way, it will be less hard for you, and they will take the weight off you.

bbe@Exodus:18:23 @If you do this, and God gives approval, then you will be able to go on without weariness, and all this people will go to their tents in peace.

bbe@Exodus:18:25 @And he made selection of able men out of all Israel, and made them heads over the people, captains of thousands, captains of hundreds and of fifties and of tens.

bbe@Exodus:18:26 @And they were judges in the causes of the people at all times: the hard questions they put before Moses; but on every small point they gave decisions themselves.

bbe@Exodus:19:5 @If now you will truly give ear to my voice and keep my agreement, you will be my special property out of all the peoples: for all the earth is mine:

bbe@Exodus:19:7 @And Moses came and sent for the chiefs of the people and put before them all these words which the Lord had given him orders to say.

bbe@Exodus:19:8 @And all the people, answering together, said, Whatever the Lord has said we will do. And Moses took back to the Lord the words of the people.

bbe@Exodus:19:11 @And by the third day let them be ready: for on the third day the Lord will come down on Mount Sinai, before the eyes of all the people.

bbe@Exodus:19:16 @And when morning came on the third day, there were thunders and flames and a thick cloud on the mountain, and a horn sounding very loud; and all the people in the tents were shaking with fear.

bbe@Exodus:19:18 @And all the mountain of Sinai was smoking, for the Lord had come down on it in fire: and the smoke of it went up like the smoke of a great burning; and all the mountain was shaking.

bbe@Exodus:20:1 @And God said all these words:

bbe@Exodus:20:9 @On six days do all your work:

bbe@Exodus:20:14 @Do not be false to the married relation.

bbe@Exodus:20:16 @Do not give false witness against your neighbour.

bbe@Exodus:20:18 @And all the people were watching the thunderings and the flames and the sound of the horn and the mountain smoking; and when they saw it, they kept far off, shaking with fear.

bbe@Exodus:20:24 @Make for me an altar of earth, offering on it your burned offerings and your peace-offerings, your sheep and your oxen: in every place where I have put the memory of my name, I will come to you and give you my blessing.

bbe@Exodus:20:25 @And if you make me an altar of stone do not make it of cut stones: for the touch of an instrument will make it unclean.

bbe@Exodus:20:26 @And do not go up by steps to my altar, for fear that your bodies may be seen uncovered.

bbe@Exodus:21:8 @If she is not pleasing to her master who has taken her for himself, let a payment be made for her so that she may go free; her master has no power to get a price for her and send her to a strange land, because he has been false to her.

bbe@Exodus:21:14 @But if a man makes an attack on his neighbour on purpose, to put him to death by deceit, you are to take him from my altar and put him to death

bbe@Exodus:22:4 @If he still has what he had taken, whatever it is, ox or ass or sheep, he is to give twice its value.

bbe@Exodus:22:7 @If a man puts money or goods in the care of his neighbour to keep for him, and it is taken from the man's house, if they get the thief, he will have to make payment of twice the value.

bbe@Exodus:22:9 @In any question about an ox or an ass or a sheep or clothing, or about the loss of any property which anyone says is his, let the two sides put their cause before God; and he who is judged to be in the wrong is to make payment to his neighbour of twice the value.

bbe@Exodus:22:18 @Any woman using unnatural powers or secret arts is to be put to death.

bbe@Exodus:22:29 @Do not keep back your offerings from the wealth of your grain and your vines. The first of your sons you are to give to me.

bbe@Exodus:22:31 @You are to be holy men to me: the flesh of no animal whose death has been caused by the beasts of the field may be used for your food; it is to be given to the dogs.

bbe@Exodus:23:1 @Do not let a false statement go further; do not make an agreement with evil-doers to be a false witness.

bbe@Exodus:23:2 @Do not be moved to do wrong by the general opinion, or give the support of your words to a wrong decision:

bbe@Exodus:23:7 @Keep yourselves far from any false business; never let the upright or him who has done no wrong be put to death: for I will make the evil-doer responsible for his sin.

bbe@Exodus:23:8 @Take no rewards in a cause: for rewards make blind those who have eyes to see, and make the decisions of the upright false.

bbe@Exodus:23:13 @Take note of all these things which I have said to you, and let not the names of other gods come into your minds or from your lips.

bbe@Exodus:23:16 @And the feast of the grain-cutting, the first-fruits of your planted fields: and the feast at the start of the year, when you have got in all the fruit from your fields.

bbe@Exodus:23:17 @Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord God.

bbe@Exodus:23:18 @Do not give the blood of my offering with leavened bread; and do not let the fat of my feast be kept all night till the morning

bbe@Exodus:23:25 @And give worship to the Lord your God, who will send his blessing on your bread and on your water; and I will take all disease away from among you.

bbe@Exodus:23:26 @All your animals will give birth without loss, not one will be without young in all your land; I will give you a full measure of life.

bbe@Exodus:23:27 @I will send my fear before you, putting to flight all the people to whom you come; all those who are against you will go in flight, turning their backs before you.

bbe@Exodus:23:29 @I will not send them all out in one year, for fear that their land may become waste, and the beasts of the field be increased overmuch against you.

bbe@Exodus:24:3 @Then Moses came and put before the people all the words of the Lord and his laws: and all the people, answering with one voice, said, Whatever the Lord has said we will do.

bbe@Exodus:24:4 @Then Moses put down in writing all the words of the Lord, and he got up early in the morning and made an altar at the foot of the mountain, with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:24:6 @And Moses took half the blood and put it in basins; draining out half of the blood over the altar.

bbe@Exodus:25:7 @Beryls and stones of value to be put on the ephod and on the priest's bag.

bbe@Exodus:27:6 @And make rods for the altar, of hard wood, plated with brass.

bbe@Exodus:27:7 @And put the rods through the rings at the two opposite sides of the altar, for lifting it.

bbe@Exodus:27:8 @The altar is to be hollow, boarded in with wood; make it from the design which you saw on the mountain.

bbe@Exodus:28:8 @And the beautifully worked band, which goes on it, is to be of the same work and the same material, of gold and blue and purple and red and twisted linen-work.

bbe@Exodus:28:17 @And on it you are to put four lines of jewels; the first line is to be a cornelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald;

bbe@Exodus:28:30 @And in the bag you are to put the Urim and Thummim, so that they may be on Aaron's heart whenever he goes in before the Lord; and Aaron may have the power of making decisions for the children of Israel before the Lord at all times.

bbe@Exodus:28:31 @The robe which goes with the ephod is to be made all of blue;

bbe@Exodus:28:34 @A gold bell and a fruit in turn all round the skirts of the robe.

bbe@Exodus:28:38 @And it will be over Aaron's brow, so that Aaron will be responsible for any error in all the holy offerings made by the children of Israel; it will be on his brow at all times, so that their offerings may be pleasing to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:28:43 @Aaron and his sons are to put these on whenever they go into the Tent of meeting or come near the altar, when they are doing the work of the holy place, so that they may be free from any sin causing death: this is to be an order for him and his seed after him for ever.

bbe@Exodus:29:1 @This is what you are to do to make them holy, to do the work of priests to me: Take one young ox and two male sheep, without any mark on them,

bbe@Exodus:29:2 @And unleavened bread, and unleavened cakes mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes on which oil has been put, made of the best bread-meal;

bbe@Exodus:29:12 @Then take some of the blood of the ox, and put it on the horns of the altar with your finger, draining out all the rest of the blood at the base of the altar.

bbe@Exodus:29:13 @And take all the fat covering the inside of the ox, and the fat joining the liver and the two kidneys with the fat round them, and let them be burned on the altar;

bbe@Exodus:29:16 @Then let it be put to death, so that the sides of the altar are marked with its blood.

bbe@Exodus:29:18 @And let them all be burned on the altar as a burned offering to the Lord: a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:29:20 @You are to put the sheep to death, and take some of its blood and put it on the point of Aaron's right ear, and of the right ears of his sons, and on the thumbs of their right hands and the great toes of their right feet, dropping the rest of the blood on the sides of the altar.

bbe@Exodus:29:21 @Then take some of the blood on the altar, and the oil, and put it on Aaron and his robes and on his sons and on their robes, so that he and his robes and his sons and their robes may be made holy.

bbe@Exodus:29:24 @And put them all on the hands of Aaron and of his sons, to be waved for a wave offering before the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:29:25 @Then take them from their hands, and let them be burned on the burned offering on the altar, a sweet smell before the Lord, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:29:28 @And it will be their part as a right for ever from the children of Israel, it is a special offering from the children of Israel, made from their peace-offerings, a special offering lifted up to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:29:32 @And let Aaron and his sons make a meal of it, with the bread in the basket, at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Exodus:29:33 @All those things which were used as offerings to take away sin, and to make them holy to be priests, they may have for food: but no one who is not a priest may have them, for they are holy food.

bbe@Exodus:29:35 @All these things you are to do to Aaron and his sons as I have given you orders: for seven days the work of making them priests is to go on.

bbe@Exodus:29:36 @Every day an ox is to be offered as a sin-offering, to take away sins: and by this offering on it, you will make the altar clean from sin; and you are to put oil on it and make it holy.

bbe@Exodus:29:37 @For seven days you are to make offerings for the altar and make it holy, so that it may become completely holy, and anything touching it will become holy.

bbe@Exodus:29:38 @Now this is the offering which you are to make on the altar: two lambs in their first year, every day regularly.

bbe@Exodus:29:40 @And with the one lamb, a tenth part of an ephah of the best meal, mixed with a fourth part of a hin of clear oil; and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering.

bbe@Exodus:29:41 @And the other lamb is to be offered in the evening, and with it the same meal offering and drink offering, for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:29:42 @This is to be a regular burned offering made from generation to generation, at the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord, where I will come face to face with you and have talk with you.

bbe@Exodus:29:44 @I will make holy the Tent of meeting and the altar: and Aaron and his sons I will make holy, to be my priests

bbe@Exodus:30:1 @And you are to make an altar for the burning of perfume; of hard wood let it be made.

bbe@Exodus:30:2 @The altar is to be square, a cubit long and a cubit wide, and two cubits high, and its horns are to be made of the same.

bbe@Exodus:30:3 @It is to be plated with the best gold, the top of it and the sides and the horns, with an edging of gold all round it.

bbe@Exodus:30:7 @And on this altar sweet spices are to be burned by Aaron every morning when he sees to the lights.

bbe@Exodus:30:9 @No strange perfume, no burned offering or meal offering, and no drink offering is to be offered on it.

bbe@Exodus:30:13 @And this is what they are to give; let every man who is numbered give half a shekel, by the scale of the holy place: (the shekel being valued at twenty gerahs:) this money is an offering to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:30:15 @The man of wealth is to give no more and the poor man no less than the half-shekel of silver, when the offering is made to the Lord as the price for your lives.

bbe@Exodus:30:18 @You are to make a brass washing-vessel, with a brass base; and put it between the Tent of meeting and the altar, with water in it;

bbe@Exodus:30:20 @Whenever they go into the Tent of meeting they are to be washed with water, to keep them from death; and whenever they come near to do the work of the altar, or to make an offering by fire to the Lord,

bbe@Exodus:30:23 @Take the best spices, five hundred shekels' weight of liquid myrrh, and of sweet cinnamon half as much, that is, two hundred and fifty shekels, and two hundred and fifty shekels of sweet calamus,

bbe@Exodus:30:24 @And of cassia, five hundred shekels' weight measured by the scale of the holy place, and of olive oil a hin:

bbe@Exodus:30:27 @And on the table and all its vessels, and on the support for the lights, with its vessels, and on the altar for burning spices,

bbe@Exodus:30:28 @And on the altar of burned offerings with its vessels, and on the washing-vessel and its base.

bbe@Exodus:30:34 @And the Lord said to Moses, Take sweet spices, stacte and onycha and galbanum, with the best frankincense, in equal weights;

bbe@Exodus:30:35 @And make from them a perfume, such as is made by the art of the perfume-maker, mixed with salt, and clean and holy.

bbe@Exodus:30:36 @And put some of it, crushed very small, in front of the ark in the Tent of meeting, where I will come face to face with you; it is to be most holy.

bbe@Exodus:31:2 @I have made selection of Bezalel, the son of Uri, by name, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:

bbe@Exodus:31:4 @To do all sorts of delicate work in gold and silver and brass;

bbe@Exodus:31:6 @And I have made selection of Oholiab with him, the son of Ahisamach, of the tribe of Dan; and in the hearts of all who are wise I have put the knowledge to make whatever I have given you orders to have made;

bbe@Exodus:31:7 @The Tent of meeting, and the ark of the law, and the cover which is on it, and all the things for the tent,

bbe@Exodus:31:8 @And the table with its vessels, and the holy light-support with all its vessels, and the altar for the burning of spices,

bbe@Exodus:31:9 @And the altar of burned offerings with all its vessels, and the washing-vessel with its base,

bbe@Exodus:31:13 @Say to the children of Israel that they are to keep my Sabbaths; for the Sabbath day is a sign between me and you through all your generations; so that you may see that I am the Lord who makes you holy.

bbe@Exodus:31:16 @And the children of Israel are to keep the Sabbath holy, from generation to generation, by an eternal agreement.

bbe@Exodus:31:18 @And when his talk with Moses on Mount Sinai was ended, he gave him the two stones of the law, two stones on which was the writing made by the finger of God.

bbe@Exodus:32:1 @And when the people saw that Moses was a long time coming down from the mountain, they all came to Aaron and said to him, Come, make us a god to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us up out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has become of him.

bbe@Exodus:32:3 @And all the people took the gold rings from their ears and gave them to Aaron.

bbe@Exodus:32:4 @And he took the gold from them and, hammering it with an instrument, he made it into the metal image of a young ox: and they said, This is your god, O Israel, who took you out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:32:5 @And when Aaron saw this, he made an altar before it, and made a public statement, saying, Tomorrow there will be a feast to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:32:8 @Even now they are turned away from the rule I gave them, and have made themselves a metal ox and given worship to it and offerings, saying, This is your god, O Israel, who took you up out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:32:13 @Have in mind Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, your servants, to whom you gave your oath, saying, I will make your seed like the stars of heaven in number, and all this land will I give to your seed, as I said, to be their heritage for ever.

bbe@Exodus:32:26 @Then Moses took his place at the way into the tents, and said, Whoever is on the Lord's side, let him come to me. And all the sons of Levi came together to him.

bbe@Exodus:33:5 @And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You are a stiff-necked people: if I come among you, even for a minute, I will send destruction on you; so take off all your ornaments, so that I may see what to do with you.

bbe@Exodus:33:8 @And whenever Moses went out to the Tent of meeting, all the people got up and everyone went to the door of his tent, looking after Moses till he went inside the Tent.

bbe@Exodus:33:9 @And whenever Moses went into the Tent, the pillar of cloud came down, and took its place by the door of the Tent, as long as the Lord was talking with Moses.

bbe@Exodus:33:10 @And all the people saw the cloud at the door of the Tent, and they went down on their faces, everyone at the door of his tent.

bbe@Exodus:33:11 @And the Lord had talk with Moses face to face, as a man may have talk with his friend. And when Moses came back to the tents, his servant, the young man Joshua, the son of Nun, did not come away from the Tent.

bbe@Exodus:33:16 @For is not the fact of your going with us the sign that I and this people have grace in your eyes, so that we, that is, I and your people, are separate from all other people on the face of the earth?

bbe@Exodus:33:19 @And he said, I will make all the light of my being come before you, and will make clear to you what I am; I will be kind to those to whom I will be kind, and have mercy on those on whom I will have mercy.

bbe@Exodus:34:10 @And the Lord said, See, this is what I will undertake: before the eyes of your people I will do wonders, such as have not been done in all the earth or in any nation: and all your people will see the work of the Lord, for what I am about to do for you is greatly to be feared.

bbe@Exodus:34:13 @But their altars are to be overturned and their pillars broken and their images cut down:

bbe@Exodus:34:17 @Make for yourselves no gods of metal.

bbe@Exodus:34:19 @Every first male child is mine; the first male birth of your cattle, the first male of every ox and sheep.

bbe@Exodus:34:20 @A lamb may be given in payment for the young of an ass, but if you will not make payment for it, its neck will have to be broken. For all the first of your sons you are to make payment. No one is to come before me without an offering.

bbe@Exodus:34:23 @Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:34:27 @And the Lord said to Moses, Put all these words in writing; for on them is based the agreement which I will make with you.

bbe@Exodus:34:29 @Now when Moses came down from Mount Sinai, with the two stones in his hand, he was not conscious that his face was shining because of his talk with God.

bbe@Exodus:34:30 @But when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, and the shining of his face, they would not come near him for fear.

bbe@Exodus:34:31 @Then Moses sent for them; and Aaron, with the chiefs of the people, came to him; and Moses had talk with them.

bbe@Exodus:34:32 @And later, all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them all the orders which the Lord had given him on Mount Sinai.

bbe@Exodus:34:33 @And at the end of his talk with them, Moses put a veil over his face.

bbe@Exodus:34:34 @But whenever Moses went in before the Lord to have talk with him, he took off the veil till he came out. And whenever he came out he said to the children of Israel what he had been ordered to say;

bbe@Exodus:35:1 @And Moses sent for all the children of Israel to come together, and said to them, This is what the Lord has said and these are his orders.

bbe@Exodus:35:4 @And Moses said to all the meeting of the children of Israel, This is the order which the Lord has given:

bbe@Exodus:35:13 @The table and its rods and all its vessels, and the holy bread;

bbe@Exodus:35:15 @And the altar for burning spices, with its rods, and the holy oil and the sweet perfume, and the curtain for the door, at the door of the House;

bbe@Exodus:35:16 @The altar of burned offerings, with its network of brass, its rods, and all its vessels, the washing-vessel and its base;

bbe@Exodus:35:20 @And all the children of Israel went away from Moses.

bbe@Exodus:35:22 @They came, men and women, all who were ready to give, and gave pins and nose-rings and finger-rings and neck-ornaments, all of gold; everyone gave an offering of gold to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:35:25 @And all the women who were expert with their hands, made cloth, and gave the work of their hands, blue and purple and red and the best linen.

bbe@Exodus:35:30 @And Moses said to the children of Israel, See, the Lord has made selection of Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah;

bbe@Exodus:35:31 @And he has made him full of the spirit of God, in all wisdom and knowledge and art of every sort;

bbe@Exodus:35:35 @To them he has given knowledge of all the arts of the handworker, of the designer, and the expert workman; of the maker of needlework in blue and purple and red and the best linen, and of the maker of cloth; in all the arts of the designer and the trained workman they are expert.

bbe@Exodus:36:1 @So let Bezalel and Oholiab get to work, with every wise-hearted man to whom the Lord has given wisdom and knowledge, to do whatever is necessary for the ordering of the holy place, as the Lord has given orders.

bbe@Exodus:36:2 @Then Moses sent for Bezalel and Oholiab, and for all the wise-hearted men to whom the Lord had given wisdom, even everyone who was moved by the impulse of his heart to come and take part in the work:

bbe@Exodus:36:3 @And they took from Moses all the offerings which the children of Israel had given for the building of the holy place. And still they went on giving him more free offerings every morning.

bbe@Exodus:36:4 @Then the wise men, who were doing all the work of the holy place, came from their work;

bbe@Exodus:36:6 @So Moses made an order and had it given out through all the tents, saying, Let no man or woman make any more offerings for the holy place. So the people were kept from giving more.

bbe@Exodus:36:7 @For the material they had was enough and more than enough for all the work which had to be done.

bbe@Exodus:36:8 @Then all the expert workmen among them made the House with its ten curtains; of the best linen, blue and purple and red, they made them, with winged ones worked by expert designers.

bbe@Exodus:36:9 @Every curtain was twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

bbe@Exodus:36:15 @Every curtain was thirty cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

bbe@Exodus:36:21 @The boards were ten cubits long and one cubit and a half wide.

bbe@Exodus:36:22 @Every board had two tongues fixed into it; all the boards were made in this way.

bbe@Exodus:36:33 @The middle rod was made to go right through the rings of all the boards from one end to the other.

bbe@Exodus:36:34 @All the boards were plated with gold, and the rings through which the rods went were of gold, and the rods were plated with gold.

bbe@Exodus:37:1 @And Bezalel made the ark of hard wood, two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide and a cubit and a half high;

bbe@Exodus:37:2 @Plating it inside and out with the best gold, and putting an edge of gold all round it.

bbe@Exodus:37:6 @And he made the cover all of gold, two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.

bbe@Exodus:37:10 @And he made the table of hard wood, two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high;

bbe@Exodus:37:11 @Plating it with the best gold and putting a gold edge all round it.

bbe@Exodus:37:12 @And he made a frame all round it about as wide as a man's hand, edged with gold all round.

bbe@Exodus:37:16 @And all the table-vessels, the plates and spoons and basins and the cups for liquids, he made of the best gold.

bbe@Exodus:37:17 @Then he made the support for the lights, all of the best gold; its base and its pillar were of hammered gold; its cups and buds and flowers were all made out of the same metal:

bbe@Exodus:37:19 @Every branch having three cups made like almond flowers, every cup with a bud and a flower on all the branches;

bbe@Exodus:37:20 @And on its pillar, four cups like almond flowers, every one with its bud and its flower;

bbe@Exodus:37:21 @And under every two branches a bud, made with the branch, for all six branches of it.

bbe@Exodus:37:22 @The buds and the branches were made of the same metal, all together one complete work of the best hammered gold.

bbe@Exodus:37:23 @And he made the seven vessels for the lights, and all the necessary instruments for it, of gold.

bbe@Exodus:37:24 @A talent of the best gold was used for the making of it and its vessels.

bbe@Exodus:37:25 @And he made the altar for the burning of spices, using the same hard wood; it was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high; the horns made of the same.

bbe@Exodus:37:26 @The top and the sides and the horns were all plated with the best gold; and he put an edge of gold all round it.

bbe@Exodus:38:1 @The altar of burned offerings he made of hard wood; a square altar, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high,

bbe@Exodus:38:2 @And he put horns at its four angles made of the same, plating it all with brass;

bbe@Exodus:38:3 @And brass was used for all the vessels of the altar, the baskets and the spades, the basins and the meat-hooks and the fire-trays; all the vessels he made of brass

bbe@Exodus:38:4 @And he made a network of brass for the altar, under the frame round it, stretching half-way up;

bbe@Exodus:38:7 @He put the rods through the rings at the opposite sides of the altar for lifting it; he made the altar hollow, boarded in with wood.

bbe@Exodus:38:16 @All the hangings were of the best linen.

bbe@Exodus:38:17 @And the bases of the pillars were of brass; their hooks and the bands round the tops of them were of silver; all the pillars were ringed with silver.

bbe@Exodus:38:19 @There were four pillars with their bases, all of brass, the hooks being of silver, and their tops and their bands being covered with silver.

bbe@Exodus:38:20 @All the nails used for the House and the open space round it were of brass.

bbe@Exodus:38:21 @This is the price of the making of the House, even the House of witness, as it was valued by the word of Moses, for the work of the Levites under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

bbe@Exodus:38:22 @Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah, made everything as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:38:24 @The gold used for all the different work done for the holy place, the gold which was given, was twenty-nine talents, and seven hundred and thirty shekels in weight, by the scale of the holy place.

bbe@Exodus:38:25 @And the silver given by those who were numbered of the people was a hundred talents, and a thousand, seven hundred and seventy-five shekels in weight, by the scale of the holy place.

bbe@Exodus:38:26 @A beka, that is, half a shekel by the holy scale, for everyone who was numbered; there were six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty men of twenty years old and over.

bbe@Exodus:38:27 @Of this silver, a hundred talents was used for making the bases of the pillars of the holy place and of the veil; a talent for every base.

bbe@Exodus:38:29 @The brass which was given was seventy talents, two thousand four hundred shekels;

bbe@Exodus:38:30 @From it he made the bases of the doorway of the Tent of meeting and the brass altar and the network for it and all the vessels for the altar,

bbe@Exodus:38:31 @And the bases for the open space all round and for its doorway, and all the nails for the House and for the open space.

bbe@Exodus:39:5 @And the beautifully worked band which went on it was of the same design and the same material, worked in gold and blue and purple and red and twisted linen-work, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:39:10 @And on it they put four lines of stones: in the first line was a carnelian, a chrysolite, and an emerald;

bbe@Exodus:39:22 @The robe which went with the ephod was made all of blue;

bbe@Exodus:39:24 @The skirts of the robe were worked all round with fruits in blue and purple and red made of twisted linen.

bbe@Exodus:39:25 @And between the fruits all round the skirt they put gold bells, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:39:26 @All round the skirt of the robe were bells and fruits in turn.

bbe@Exodus:39:32 @So all the work on the House of the Tent of meeting was done; as the Lord had given orders to Moses, so the children of Israel did it.

bbe@Exodus:39:33 @Then they took the House to Moses, the tent with all the things for it; its hooks, its boards, its rods, its pillars, and its bases;

bbe@Exodus:39:43 @Then Moses, when he saw all their work and saw that they had done everything as the Lord had said, gave them his blessing.

bbe@Exodus:40:4 @And put the table inside, placing all the things on it in order; and put in the support for the lights, and let its lights be burning.

bbe@Exodus:40:5 @And put the gold altar for burning perfumes in front of the ark of the law, hanging the curtain over the doorway of the House.

bbe@Exodus:40:8 @And put up the hangings forming the open space all round it, with the curtain over its doorway.

bbe@Exodus:40:10 @And put oil on the altar of burned offering, and make it and all its vessels holy; this altar is to be most holy.

bbe@Exodus:40:26 @And he put the gold altar in the Tent of meeting, in front of the veil:

bbe@Exodus:40:29 @And at the door of the House of the Tent of meeting, he put the altar of burned offerings, offering on it the burned offering and the meal offering, as the Lord had given him orders.

bbe@Exodus:40:30 @And between the altar and the Tent of meeting he put the vessel with water in it for washing.

bbe@Exodus:40:32 @Whenever they went into the Tent of meeting, and when they came near the altar, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

bbe@Exodus:40:33 @And he put up the hangings forming the open space round the House and the altar, and put the curtain over the doorway. So Moses made the work complete.

bbe@Leviticus:6:6 @Then let him take to the Lord the offering for his wrongdoing; giving to the priest for his offering, a male sheep from the flock, without any mark, of the value fixed by you:

bbe@Leviticus:6:10 @And the priest is to put on his linen robes and his linen trousers, and take up what is over of the offering after it has been burned on the altar, and put it by the side of the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:6:12 @The fire on the altar is to be kept burning; it is never to go out; every morning the priest is to put wood on it, placing the burned offering in order on it, and there the fat of the peace-offering is to be burned.

bbe@Leviticus:6:13 @Let the fire be kept burning on the altar at all times; it is never to go out.

bbe@Leviticus:6:18 @Every male among the children of Aaron may have it for food; it is their right for ever through all your generations, from the offerings made by fire to the Lord: anyone touching them will be holy.

bbe@Leviticus:6:20 @This is the offering which Aaron and his sons are to make to the Lord on the day when he is made a priest: the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal for a meal offering for ever; half of it in the morning and half in the evening.

bbe@Leviticus:6:21 @Let it be made with oil on a flat plate; when it is well mixed and cooked, let it be broken and taken in as a meal offering, for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:6:22 @And the same offering is to be given by that one of his sons who takes his place as priest; by an order for ever, all of it is to be burned before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:6:23 @Every meal offering offered for the priest is to be completely burned: nothing of it is to be taken for food.

bbe@Leviticus:6:29 @Every male among the priests may take it for his food: it is most holy.

bbe@Leviticus:7:2 @They are to put to death the offering for wrongdoing in the same place as the burned offering; and the priest is to put the blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:7:3 @And all the fat of it, the fat tail and the fat covering the inside parts, is to be given as an offering.

bbe@Leviticus:7:6 @Every male among the priests may have it as food in a holy place: it is most holy.

bbe@Leviticus:7:9 @And every meal offering which is cooked in the oven and everything made in a cooking pot or on a flat plate, is for the priest by whom it is offered.

bbe@Leviticus:7:10 @And every meal offering, mixed with oil or dry, is for all the sons of Aaron in equal measure.

bbe@Leviticus:7:12 @If any man gives his offering as a praise-offering, then let him give with the offering, unleavened cakes mixed with oil and thin unleavened cakes covered with oil and cakes of the best meal well mixed with oil.

bbe@Leviticus:7:14 @And let him give one out of every offering to be lifted up before the Lord; that it may be for the priest who puts the blood of the peace-offering on the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:7:24 @And the fat of that which comes to a natural death, and the fat of that which is attacked by beasts, may be used for other purposes, but not in any way for food.

bbe@Leviticus:7:31 @And the fat is to be burned by the priest on the altar, but the breast is for Aaron and his sons.

bbe@Leviticus:8:4 @And Moses did as the Lord said, and all the people came together at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:8:10 @And Moses took the holy oil and put it on the House and on all the things in it, to make them holy.

bbe@Leviticus:8:11 @Seven times he put oil on the altar and on all its vessels, and on the washing-basin and its base, to make them holy.

bbe@Leviticus:8:15 @And he put it to death; and Moses took the blood and put it on the horns of the altar and round it with his finger, and made the altar clean, draining out the blood at the base of the altar; so he made it holy, taking away what was unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:8:16 @And he took all the fat on the inside parts, and the fat on the liver, and the two kidneys with their fat, to be burned on the altar;

bbe@Leviticus:8:18 @And he put the male sheep of the burned offering before the Lord, and Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head,

bbe@Leviticus:8:19 @And he put it to death; and Moses put some of the blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:8:21 @And the inside parts and the legs were washed with water and all the sheep was burned by Moses on the altar; it was a burned offering for a sweet smell: it was an offering made by fire to the Lord, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:8:24 @Then he took Aaron's sons, and Moses put some of the blood on the point of their right ears and on the thumbs of their right hands and on the great toes of their right feet: and Moses put the blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:8:27 @And he put them all on the hands of Aaron and on the hands of his sons, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:8:28 @And Moses took them from their hands, and they were burned on the altar on the burned offering, as a priest's offering for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:8:30 @And Moses took some of the holy oil and of the blood which was on the altar and put it on Aaron and on his robes, and on his sons and on his sons' robes; and made Aaron holy, and his robes and his sons and his sons' robes with him.

bbe@Leviticus:8:36 @And Aaron and his sons did all the things about which the Lord had given orders through Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:9:2 @And he said to Aaron, Take a young ox for a sin-offering and a male sheep for a burned offering, without a mark, and make an offering of them before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:9:4 @And an ox and a male sheep for peace-offerings, to be put to death before the Lord; and a meal offering mixed with oil: for this day you are to see the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:9:5 @And they took the things ordered by Moses, before the Tent of meeting, and all the people came near, waiting before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:9:7 @And Moses said to Aaron, Come near to the altar and make your sin-offering and your burned offering to take away your sin and the sin of the people, and make the people's offering to take away their sin; as the Lord has given orders.

bbe@Leviticus:9:8 @So Aaron came near to the altar and put to death the ox for the sin-offering for himself;

bbe@Leviticus:9:9 @And the sons of Aaron gave him the blood and he put his finger in the blood and put it on the horns of the altar, draining out the blood at the base of the altar;

bbe@Leviticus:9:10 @But the fat and the kidneys and the fat on the liver of the sin-offering were burned by him on the altar as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:9:12 @And he put to death the burned offering; and Aaron's sons gave him the blood and he put some of it on and round the altar;

bbe@Leviticus:9:13 @And they gave him the parts of the burned offering, in their order, and the head, to be burned on the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:9:14 @And the inside parts and the legs, when they had been washed with water, were burned on the burned offering on the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:9:17 @And he put the meal offering before the Lord, and taking some of it in his hand he had it burned on the altar, separately from the burned offering of the morning.

bbe@Leviticus:9:18 @And he put to death the ox and the sheep, which were the peace-offerings for the people; and Aaron's sons gave him the blood and he put some of it on and round the altar;

bbe@Leviticus:9:20 @They put the fat on the breasts, and the fat was burned on the altar

bbe@Leviticus:9:23 @And Moses and Aaron went into the Tent of meeting, and came out and gave the people a blessing, and the glory of the Lord was seen by all the people.

bbe@Leviticus:9:24 @And fire came out from before the Lord, burning up the offering on the altar and the fat: and when all the people saw it, they gave a loud cry, falling down on their faces.

bbe@Leviticus:10:3 @Then Moses said to Aaron, This is what the Lord said, I will be holy in the eyes of all those who come near to me, and I will be honoured before all the people. And Aaron said nothing.

bbe@Leviticus:10:6 @And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons, Do not let your hair be loose, and give no signs of grief; so that death may not overtake you, and his wrath come on all the people; but let there be weeping among your brothers and all the house of Israel for this burning of the Lord's fire.

bbe@Leviticus:10:9 @Take no wine, or strong drink, you or your sons with you, when you go into the Tent of meeting, that it may not be the cause of death to you; this is an order for ever through all your generations

bbe@Leviticus:10:11 @Teaching the children of Israel all the laws which the Lord has given them by the hand of Moses.

bbe@Leviticus:10:12 @And Moses said to Aaron and to Eleazar and Ithamar, his sons who were still living, Take the rest of the meal offering from the offerings of the Lord made by fire, and take it for your food, without leaven, at the side of the altar, for it is most holy.

bbe@Leviticus:10:17 @Why did you not make a meal of the sin-offering in the holy place? For it is most holy and he has given it to you, so that the sin of the people may be put on it, to take away their sin before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:11:2 @Say to the children of Israel: These are the living things which you may have for food among all the beasts on the earth.

bbe@Leviticus:11:9 @These you may have for food of all things living in the water: anything living in the water, in the seas or rivers, which has special parts for swimming and skin formed of thin plates, may be used for food.

bbe@Leviticus:11:27 @Any four-footed beast which goes on the ball of its foot, is unclean to you: anyone touching the dead body of one of these will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:11:29 @And these are unclean to you among things which go low down on the earth; the weasel and the mouse and the great lizard, and animals of that sort;

bbe@Leviticus:11:31 @All these are unclean to you: anyone touching them when they are dead will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:11:32 @The dead body of any of these, falling on anything, will make that thing unclean; if it is any vessel of wood, or clothing, or skin, or bag, whatever it is, if it is used for any purpose, it will have to be put into water, and will be unclean till evening; after that it will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:11:35 @Any part of the dead body of one of these, falling on anything, will make it unclean; if it is an oven or a cooking-pot it will have to be broken: they are unclean and will be unclean to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:39 @And if any beast which may be used for food comes to a natural death, anyone touching its dead body will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:11:42 @Whatever goes on its stomach or on four feet or has a great number of feet, even all those going flat on the earth, may not be used for food, for they are disgusting.

bbe@Leviticus:12:2 @Say to the children of Israel, If a woman is with child and gives birth to a male child, she will be unclean for seven days, as when she is unwell.

bbe@Leviticus:12:5 @But if she gives birth to a female child, then she will be unclean for two weeks, as when she is unwell; and she will not be completely clean for sixty-six days.

bbe@Leviticus:12:7 @And the priest is to make an offering of it before the Lord and take away her sin, and she will be made clean from the flow of her blood. This is the law for a woman who gives birth to a male or a female.

bbe@Leviticus:13:13 @And if the priest sees that all his flesh is covered with the leper's disease, the priest will say that he is clean: it is all turned white, he is clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:51 @And he is to see the mark on the seventh day; if the mark is increased in the clothing, or in the threads of the material, or in the leather, whatever the leather is used for, it is the disease biting into it: it is unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:52 @And the clothing, or the wool or linen material, or anything of leather in which is the disease, is to be burned: for the disease is biting into it; let it be burned in the fire.

bbe@Leviticus:13:53 @And if the priest sees that the mark is not increased in the clothing or in any part of the material or in the leather,

bbe@Leviticus:13:56 @And if the priest sees that the mark is less bright after the washing, then let him have it cut out of the clothing or the leather or from the threads of the material:

bbe@Leviticus:13:57 @And if the mark is still seen in the clothing or in the threads of the material or in the leather, it is the disease coming out: the thing in which the disease is will have to be burned with fire.

bbe@Leviticus:13:58 @And the material of the clothing, or anything of skin, which has been washed, if the mark has gone out of it, let it be washed a second time and it will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:59 @This is the law about the leper's disease in the thread of wool or linen material, in clothing or in anything of skin, saying how it is to be judged clean or unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:14:9 @And on the seventh day he is to have all the hair cut off his head and his chin and over his eyes--all his hair is to be cut off--and he will have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and he will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:14:10 @And on the eighth day let him take two male lambs, without any marks on them, and one female lamb of the first year, without a mark, and three tenth parts of an ephah of the best meal, mixed with oil, and one log of oil.

bbe@Leviticus:14:12 @And the priest is to take one of the male lambs and give it as an offering for wrongdoing, and the log of oil, waving them for a wave offering before the Lord;

bbe@Leviticus:14:13 @And he is to put the male lamb to death in the place where they put to death the sin-offering and the burned offering, in the holy place; for as the sin-offering is the property of the priest, so is the offering for wrongdoing: it is most holy.

bbe@Leviticus:14:20 @And the priest is to have the burned offering and the meal offering burned on the altar; and the priest will take away his sin and he will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:14:21 @And if he is poor and not able to get so much, then he may take one male lamb as an offering for wrongdoing, to be waved to take away his sin, and one tenth part of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering, and a log of oil;

bbe@Leviticus:14:31 @And of these, he will give one for a sin-offering and one for a burned offering, with the meal offering; and the priest will take away the sin of him who is to be made clean before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:14:37 @And if he sees that the walls of the house are marked with hollows of green and red, and if it seems to go deeper than the face of the wall;

bbe@Leviticus:14:39 @And the priest is to come again on the seventh day and have a look and see if the marks on the walls of the house are increased in size;

bbe@Leviticus:14:41 @And he will have the house rubbed all over inside, and the paste which is rubbed off will be put out into an unclean place outside the town:

bbe@Leviticus:14:42 @And they will take other stones and put them in place of those stones, and he will take other paste and put it on the walls of the house.

bbe@Leviticus:14:43 @And if the disease comes out again in the house after he has taken out the stones and after the walls have been rubbed and the new paste put on,

bbe@Leviticus:14:54 @This is the law for all signs of the leper's disease and for skin diseases;

bbe@Leviticus:15:16 @And if a man's seed goes out from him, then all his body will have to be bathed in water and he will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:15:25 @And if a woman has a flow of blood for a long time, not at the time when she generally has it, or if the flow goes on longer than the normal time, she will be unclean while the flow of blood goes on, as she is at other normal times.

bbe@Leviticus:15:26 @Every bed on which she has been resting will be unclean, as at the times when she normally has a flow of blood, and everything on which she has been seated will be unclean, in the same way.

bbe@Leviticus:15:31 @In this way may the children of Israel be made free from all sorts of unclean conditions, so that death may not overtake them when they are unclean and when they make unclean my holy place which is among them.

bbe@Leviticus:16:2 @The Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, your brother, that he may not come at all times into the holy place inside the veil, before the cover which is on the ark, for fear that death may overtake him; for I will be seen in the cloud on the cover of the ark.

bbe@Leviticus:16:3 @Let Aaron come into the holy place in this way: with an ox for a sin-offering and a male sheep for a burned offering.

bbe@Leviticus:16:5 @And let him take from the children of Israel two he-goats for a sin-offering and one male sheep for a burned offering.

bbe@Leviticus:16:12 @And he is to take a vessel full of burning coal from the altar before the Lord and in his hand some sweet perfume crushed small, and take it inside the veil;

bbe@Leviticus:16:16 @And let him make the holy place free from whatever is unclean among the children of Israel and from their wrongdoing in all their sins; and let him do the same for the Tent of meeting, which has its place among an unclean people.

bbe@Leviticus:16:17 @And no man may be in the Tent of meeting from the time when Aaron goes in to take away sin in the holy place till he comes out, having made himself and his house and all the people of Israel free from sin.

bbe@Leviticus:16:18 @And he is to go out to the altar which is before the Lord and make it free from sin; and he is to take some of the blood of the ox and the blood of the goat and put it on the horns of the altar and round it;

bbe@Leviticus:16:20 @And when he has done whatever is necessary to make the holy place and the Tent of meeting and the altar free from sin, let him put the living goat before the Lord;

bbe@Leviticus:16:21 @And Aaron, placing his two hands on the head of the living goat, will make a public statement over him of all the evil doings of the children of Israel and all their wrongdoing, in all their sins; and he will put them on the head of the goat and send him away, in the care of a man who will be waiting there, into the waste land

bbe@Leviticus:16:22 @And the goat will take all their sins into a land cut off from men, and he will send the goat away into the waste land.

bbe@Leviticus:16:25 @And the fat of the sin-offering is to be burned by him on the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:16:30 @For on this day your sin will be taken away and you will be clean: you will be made free from all your sins before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:16:31 @It is a special Sabbath for you, and you are to keep yourselves from pleasure; it is an order for ever.

bbe@Leviticus:16:33 @And he will make the holy place and the Tent of meeting and the altar free from sin; he will take away sin from the priests and from all the people.

bbe@Leviticus:17:2 @Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel: This is the order which the Lord has given.

bbe@Leviticus:17:6 @And the priest will put blood on the altar of the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting, burning the fat for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:17:7 @And let them make no more offerings to evil spirits, after which they have gone, turning away from the Lord. Let this be a law to them for ever, through all their generations.

bbe@Leviticus:17:11 @For the life of the flesh is in its blood; and I have given it to you on the altar to take away your sin: for it is the blood which makes free from sin because of the life in it.

bbe@Leviticus:17:14 @For the blood is the life of all flesh: and so I have said to the children of Israel, You may not take any sort of blood as food, and any man who does so will be cut of.

bbe@Leviticus:17:15 @And anyone who takes as food anything which has come to a natural end, or anything which has been put to death by beasts, if he is one of you by birth, or of another nation, will have to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening, and then he will be clean.

bbe@Leviticus:18:23 @And you may not have sex relations with a beast, making yourself unclean with it; and a woman may not give herself to a beast: it is an unnatural act.

bbe@Leviticus:18:27 @(For all these disgusting things were done by the men of this country who were there before you, and the land has been made unclean by them;)

bbe@Leviticus:18:29 @For all those who do any of these disgusting things will be cut off from among their people.

bbe@Leviticus:19:2 @Say to all the people of Israel, You are to be holy, for I, the Lord your God, am holy.

bbe@Leviticus:19:4 @Do not go after false gods, and do not make metal images of gods for yourselves: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:19:9 @And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain be cut from the edges of the field, or take up what has been dropped on the earth after the getting in of the grain.

bbe@Leviticus:19:10 @And do not take all the grapes from your vine-garden, or the fruit dropped on the earth; let the poor man, and the man from another country, have these: I am the Lord your God

bbe@Leviticus:19:11 @Do not take anyone's property or be false in act or word to another.

bbe@Leviticus:19:12 @And do not take an oath in my name falsely, putting shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:13 @Do not be cruel to your neighbour or take what is his; do not keep back a servant's payment from him all night till the morning.

bbe@Leviticus:19:14 @Do not put a curse on those who have no hearing, or put a cause of falling in the way of the blind, but keep the fear of your God before you: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:16 @Do not go about saying untrue things among your people, or take away the life of your neighbour by false witness: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:18 @Do not make attempts to get equal with one who has done you wrong, or keep hard feelings against the children of your people, but have love for your neighbour as for yourself: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:21 @Let him take his offering for wrongdoing to the Lord, to the door of the Tent of meeting; let him give a male sheep as an offering for wrongdoing.

bbe@Leviticus:19:23 @And when you have come into the land, and have put in all sorts of fruit-trees, their fruit will be as if they had not had circumcision, and for three years their fruit may not be used for food.

bbe@Leviticus:19:24 @And in the fourth year all the fruit will be holy as a praise-offering to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:19:35 @Do not make false decisions in questions of yard-sticks and weights and measures.

bbe@Leviticus:19:36 @Have true scales, true weights and measures for all things: I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt;

bbe@Leviticus:19:37 @You are to keep all my rules and my decisions and do them: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:20:5 @Then my face will be turned against him and his family, and he and all those who do evil with him will be cut off from among their people.

bbe@Leviticus:20:12 @And if a man has sex relations with his son's wife, the two of them are to be put to death: it is unnatural; their blood will be on them

bbe@Leviticus:20:14 @And if a man takes as wife a woman and her mother, it is an act of shame; let them be burned with fire, all three of them, so that there may be no shame among you.

bbe@Leviticus:20:23 @And do not keep the rules of the nations which I am driving out before you; for they did all these things, and for that reason my soul was turned against them.

bbe@Leviticus:20:24 @But I have said to you, You will take their land and I will give it to you for your heritage, a land flowing with milk and honey: I am the Lord your God who have made you separate from all other peoples.

bbe@Leviticus:21:18 @For any man whose body is damaged may not come near: one who is blind, or has not the use of his legs, or one who has a broken nose or any unnatural growth,

bbe@Leviticus:21:20 @Or one whose back is bent, or one who is unnaturally small, or one who has a damaged eye, or whose skin is diseased, or whose sex parts are damaged;

bbe@Leviticus:21:23 @But he may not go inside the veil or come near the altar, because he is damaged; and he may not make my holy places common; for I the Lord have made them holy.

bbe@Leviticus:21:24 @These are the words which Moses said to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel.

bbe@Leviticus:22:3 @Say to them, If any man of all your seed through all your generations, being unclean, comes near the holy things which the children of Israel make holy to the Lord, he will be cut off from before me: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:22:8 @That which comes to a natural death, or is attacked by beasts, he may not take as food, for it will make him unclean: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:22:18 @Say to Aaron and to his sons and to all the children of Israel, If any man of the children of Israel, or of another nation living in Israel, makes an offering, given because of an oath or freely given to the Lord for a burned offering;

bbe@Leviticus:22:19 @So that it may be pleasing to the Lord, let him give a male, without any mark, from among the oxen or the sheep or the goats.

bbe@Leviticus:22:22 @Anything blind or broken or damaged or having any disease or any mark on it may not be offered to the Lord; you may not make an offering of it by fire on the altar to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:22:23 @An ox or a lamb which has more or less than its natural parts, may be given as a free offering; but it will not be taken in payment of an oath.

bbe@Leviticus:22:24 @An animal which has its sex parts damaged or crushed or broken or cut, may not be offered to the Lord; such a thing may not be done anywhere in your land.

bbe@Leviticus:23:3 @On six days work may be done; but the seventh day is a special day of rest, a time for worship; you may do no sort of work: it is a Sabbath to the Lord wherever you may be living.

bbe@Leviticus:23:5 @In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at nightfall, is the Lord's Passover;

bbe@Leviticus:23:12 @And on the day of the waving of the grain, you are to give a male lamb of the first year, without any mark, for a burned offering to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:23:13 @And let the meal offering with it be two tenth parts of an ephah of the best meal mixed with oil, an offering made by fire to the Lord for a sweet smell; and the drink offering with it is to be of wine, the fourth part of a hin.

bbe@Leviticus:23:14 @And you may take no bread or dry grain or new grain for food till the very day on which you have given the offering for your God: this is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living.

bbe@Leviticus:23:16 @Let fifty days be numbered, to the day after the seventh Sabbath; then you are to give a new meal offering to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:23:17 @Take from your houses two cakes of bread, made of a fifth part of an ephah of the best meal, cooked with leaven, to be waved for first-fruits to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:23:18 @And with the bread, take seven lambs of the first year, without any marks, and one ox and two male sheep, to be a burned offering to the Lord, with their meal offering and their drink offerings, an offering of a sweet smell made by fire to the Lord

bbe@Leviticus:23:19 @And you are to give one male goat for a sin-offering and two male lambs of the first year for peace-offerings.

bbe@Leviticus:23:21 @And on the same day, let it be given out that there will be a holy meeting for you: you may do no field-work on that day: it is a rule for ever through all your generations wherever you are living.

bbe@Leviticus:23:22 @And when you get in the grain from your land, do not let all the grain at the edges of the field be cut, and do not take up the grain which has been dropped in the field; let that be for the poor, and for the man from another country: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:23:24 @Say to the children of Israel, In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, let there be a special day of rest for you, a day of memory, marked by the blowing of horns, a meeting for worship.

bbe@Leviticus:23:31 @You may not do any sort of work: this is an order for ever through all your generations wherever you may be living.

bbe@Leviticus:23:32 @Let this be a Sabbath of special rest to you, and keep yourselves from all pleasure; on the ninth day of the month at nightfall from evening to evening, let this Sabbath be kept.

bbe@Leviticus:23:36 @Every day for seven days give an offering made by fire to the Lord; and on the eighth day there is to be a holy meeting, when you are to give an offering made by fire to the Lord; this is a special holy day: you may do no field-work on that day.

bbe@Leviticus:23:37 @These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, to be kept by you as holy days of worship, for making an offering by fire to the Lord; a burned offering, a meal offering, an offering of beasts, and drink offerings; every one on its special day;

bbe@Leviticus:23:39 @But on the fifteenth day of the seventh month, when you have got in all the fruits of the land, you will keep the feast of the Lord for seven days: the first day will be a Sabbath, and the eighth day the same.

bbe@Leviticus:23:40 @On the first day, take the fruit of fair trees, branches of palm-trees, and branches of thick trees and trees from the riverside, and be glad before the Lord for seven days.

bbe@Leviticus:23:42 @For seven days you will be living in tents; all those who are Israelites by birth are to make tents their living-places:

bbe@Leviticus:24:2 @Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clean olive oil for the light, so that a light may be burning at all times,

bbe@Leviticus:24:3 @Outside the veil of the ark in the Tent of meeting; let Aaron see that it is burning from evening till morning at all times before the Lord: it is a rule for ever through all your generations.

bbe@Leviticus:24:4 @Let Aaron put the lights in order on the support before the Lord at all times.

bbe@Leviticus:24:5 @And take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in every cake.

bbe@Leviticus:24:9 @And it will be for Aaron and his sons; they are to take it for food in a holy place: it is the most holy of all the offerings made by fire to the Lord, a rule for ever.

bbe@Leviticus:24:14 @Take the curser outside the tent-circle; and let all in whose hearing the words were said put their hands on his head, and let him be stoned by all the people.

bbe@Leviticus:24:16 @And he who says evil against the name of the Lord will certainly be put to death; he will be stoned by all the people; the man who is not of your nation and one who is an Israelite by birth, whoever says evil against the holy Name is to be put to death.

bbe@Leviticus:25:7 @And for your cattle and the beasts on the land; all the natural increase of the land will be for food.

bbe@Leviticus:25:9 @Then let the loud horn be sounded far and wide on the tenth day of the seventh month; on the day of taking away sin let the horn be sounded through all your land

bbe@Leviticus:25:12 @For it is the Jubilee, and it is holy to you; your food will be the natural increase of the field.

bbe@Leviticus:25:16 @If the number of years is great, the price will be increased, and if the number of years is small, the price will be less, for it is the produce of a certain number of years which the man is giving you.

bbe@Leviticus:25:26 @And if he has no one to get it back for him, and later he himself gets wealth and has enough money to get it back;

bbe@Leviticus:25:29 @And if a man gives his house in a walled town for money, he has the right to get it back for the space of a full year after he has given it up.

bbe@Leviticus:25:31 @But houses in small unwalled towns will be the same as property in the country; they may be got back, and they will go back to their owners in the year of Jubilee.

bbe@Leviticus:25:47 @And if one from another nation living among you gets wealth, and your countryman, at his side, becomes poor and gives himself for money to the man from another nation or to one of his family;

bbe@Leviticus:25:50 @And let the years be numbered from the time when he gave himself to his owner till the year of Jubilee, and the price given for him will be in relation to the number of years, on the scale of the payment of a servant.

bbe@Leviticus:26:1 @Do not make images of false gods, or put up an image cut in stone or a pillar or any pictured stone in your land, to give worship to it; for I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:26:6 @And I will give you peace in the land, and you will take your rest and no one will give you cause for fear; and I will put an end to all evil beasts in the land, and no sword of war will go through your land.

bbe@Leviticus:26:8 @Then five of you will put to flight a hundred, and a hundred of you will put to flight ten thousand, and all who are against you will be put to death by your swords.

bbe@Leviticus:26:14 @But if you do not give ear to me, and do not keep all these my laws;

bbe@Leviticus:26:15 @And if you go against my rules and if you have hate in your souls for my decisions and you do not do all my orders, but go against my agreement;

bbe@Leviticus:26:22 @I will let loose the beasts of the field among you, and they will take away your children and send destruction on your cattle, so that your numbers will become small and your roads become waste.

bbe@Leviticus:26:24 @Then I will go against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for all your sins.

bbe@Leviticus:26:27 @And if, after all this, you do not give ear to me, but go against me still,

bbe@Leviticus:26:30 @And I will send destruction on your high places, overturning your perfume altars, and will put your dead bodies on your broken images, and my soul will be turned from you in disgust.

bbe@Leviticus:26:33 @And I will send you out in all directions among the nations, and my sword will be uncovered against you, and your land will be without any living thing, and your towns will be made waste.

bbe@Leviticus:26:35 @All the days while it is waste will the land have rest, such rest as it never had in your Sabbaths, when you were living in it.

bbe@Leviticus:26:36 @And as for the rest of you, I will make their hearts feeble in the land of their haters, and the sound of a leaf moved by the wind will send them in flight, and they will go in flight as from the sword, falling down when no one comes after them;

bbe@Leviticus:26:37 @Falling on one another, as before the sword, when no one comes after them; you will give way before your haters.

bbe@Leviticus:26:44 @But for all that, when they are in the land of their haters I will not let them go, or be turned away from them, or give them up completely; my agreement with them will not be broken, for I am the Lord their God.

bbe@Leviticus:27:2 @Say to the children of Israel, If a man makes a special oath, you will give your decision as to the value of the persons for the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:27:3 @And you will put the value of a male from twenty years to sixty years old at fifty shekels of silver, by the scale of the holy place.

bbe@Leviticus:27:4 @And if it is a female, the value will be thirty shekels.

bbe@Leviticus:27:5 @And if the person is from five to twenty years old, the value will be twenty shekels for a male, and ten for a female.

bbe@Leviticus:27:6 @And if the person is from one month to five years old, then the value for a male will be five shekels of silver, and for a female three shekels.

bbe@Leviticus:27:7 @And for sixty years old and over, for a male the value will be fifteen shekels, and for a female, ten.

bbe@Leviticus:27:8 @But if he is poorer than the value which you have put on him, then let him be taken to the priest, and the priest will put a value on him, such as it is possible for him to give.

bbe@Leviticus:27:12 @And let the priest put a value on it, if it is good or bad; whatever value the priest puts on it, so will it be.

bbe@Leviticus:27:13 @But if he has a desire to get it back for himself, let him give a fifth more than your value

bbe@Leviticus:27:14 @And if a man has given his house as holy to the Lord, then the priest will put a value on it, if it is good or bad; as the priest gives decision so will the value be fixed.

bbe@Leviticus:27:15 @And if the owner has a desire to get back his house, let him give a fifth more than your value, and it will be his.

bbe@Leviticus:27:16 @And if a man gives to the Lord part of the field which is his property, then let your value be in relation to the seed which is planted in it; a measure of barley grain will be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

bbe@Leviticus:27:17 @If he gives his field from the year of Jubilee, the value will be fixed by your decision.

bbe@Leviticus:27:18 @But if he gives his field after the year of Jubilee, the amount of the money will be worked out by the priest in relation to the number of years till the coming year of Jubilee, and the necessary amount will be taken off your value.

bbe@Leviticus:27:19 @And if the man who has given the field has a desire to get it back, let him give a fifth more than the price at which it was valued and it will be his.

bbe@Leviticus:27:23 @Then the value fixed by you up to the year of Jubilee will be worked out for him by the priest, and in that day he will give the amount of your value as holy to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:27:25 @And let all your values be based on the shekel of the holy place, that is, twenty gerahs to the shekel.

bbe@Leviticus:27:27 @And if it is an unclean beast, then the owner of it may give money to get it back, in agreement with the value fixed by you, by giving a fifth more; or if it is not taken back, let it be given for money in agreement with your valuing.

bbe@Leviticus:27:28 @But nothing which a man has given completely to the Lord, out of all his property, of man or beast, or of the land which is his heritage, may be given away or got back in exchange for money; anything completely given is most holy to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:27:32 @And a tenth part of the herd and of the flock, whatever goes under the rod of the valuer, will be holy to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:1:2 @Take the full number of the children of Israel, by their families, and by their fathers' houses, every male by name;

bbe@Numbers:8:8 @Then let them take a young ox and its meal offering, crushed grain mixed with oil, and take another ox for a sin-offering.

bbe@Numbers:9:16 @And so it was at all times: it was covered by the cloud, and by a light as of fire by night.

bbe@Numbers:10:3 @When they are sounded, all the people are to come together to you at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:10:7 @But when all the people are to come together, the horn is to be sounded but not loudly.

bbe@Numbers:11:6 @But now our soul is wasted away; there is nothing at all: we have nothing but this manna before our eyes.

bbe@Numbers:11:7 @Now the manna was like a seed of grain, like small clear drops.

bbe@Numbers:11:11 @And Moses said to the Lord, Why have you done me this evil? and why have I not grace in your eyes, that you have put on me the care of all this people?

bbe@Numbers:11:12 @Am I the father of all this people? have I given them birth, that you say to me, Take them in your arms, like a child at the breast, to the land which you gave by an oath to their fathers?

bbe@Numbers:11:13 @Where am I to get flesh to give to all this people? For they are weeping to me and saying, Give us flesh for our food.

bbe@Numbers:11:14 @I am not able by myself to take the weight of all this people, for it is more than my strength.

bbe@Numbers:11:17 @And I will come down and have talk with you there: and I will take some of the spirit which is on you and put it on them, and they will take part of the weight of the people off you, so that you do not have to take it by yourself.

bbe@Numbers:11:22 @Are flocks and herds to be put to death for them? or are all the fish in the sea to be got together so that they may be full?

bbe@Numbers:11:25 @Then the Lord came down in the cloud and had talk with him, and put on the seventy men some of the spirit which was on him: now when the spirit came to rest on them, they were like prophets, but only at that time.

bbe@Numbers:11:29 @And Moses said to him, Are you moved by envy on my account? If only all the Lord's people were prophets, and the Lord might put his spirit on them!

bbe@Numbers:11:31 @Then the Lord sent a wind, driving little birds from the sea, so that they came down on the tents, and all round the tent-circle, about a day's journey on this side and on that, in masses about two cubits high over the face of the earth.

bbe@Numbers:11:32 @And all that day and all night and the day after, the people were taking up the birds; the smallest amount which anyone got was ten homers: and they put them out all round the tents.

bbe@Numbers:12:7 @My servant Moses is not so; he is true to me in all my house:

bbe@Numbers:12:8 @With him I will have talk mouth to mouth, openly and not in dark sayings; and with his eyes he will see the form of the Lord: why then had you no fear of saying evil against my servant Moses?

bbe@Numbers:12:12 @Let her not be as one dead, whose flesh is half wasted when he comes out from the body of his mother.

bbe@Numbers:13:3 @And Moses sent them from the waste land of Paran as the Lord gave orders, all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:13:18 @And see what the land is like; and if the people living in it are strong or feeble, small or great in number;

bbe@Numbers:13:19 @And what sort of land they are living in, if it is good or bad; and what their living-places are, tent-circles or walled towns;

bbe@Numbers:13:22 @They went up into the South and came to Hebron; and Ahiman and Sheshai and Talmai, the children of Anak, were living there. (Now the building of Hebron took place seven years before that of Zoan in Egypt.)

bbe@Numbers:13:23 @And they came to the valley of Eshcol, and cutting down a vine-branch with its grapes, two of them took it on a rod between them; and they took some pomegranates and figs.

bbe@Numbers:13:24 @That place was named the valley of Eshcol because of the grapes which the children of Israel took from there.

bbe@Numbers:13:26 @And they came back to Moses and Aaron and all the children of Israel, to Kadesh in the waste land of Paran; and gave an account to them and to all the people and let them see the produce of the land.

bbe@Numbers:13:28 @But the people living in the land are strong, and the towns are walled and very great; further, we saw the children of Anak there.

bbe@Numbers:13:29 @And the Amalekites are in the South; and the Hittites and the Jebusites and the Amorites are living in the hill-country; and the Canaanites by the sea and by the side of Jordan.

bbe@Numbers:13:30 @Then Caleb made signs to the people to keep quiet, and said to Moses, Let us go up straight away and take this land; for we are well able to overcome it.

bbe@Numbers:13:32 @And they gave the children of Israel a bad account of the land they had been to see, saying, This land through which we went is a land causing destruction to those living in it; and all the people we saw there are men of more than common size.

bbe@Numbers:14:1 @Then all the people gave load cries of grief, and all that night they gave themselves up to weeping.

bbe@Numbers:14:2 @And all the children of Israel, crying out against Moses and Aaron, said, If only we had come to our death in the land of Egypt, or even in this waste land!

bbe@Numbers:14:6 @And Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, two of those who had been to see the land, giving signs of grief,

bbe@Numbers:14:7 @Said to all the children of Israel, This land which we went through to see is a very good land.

bbe@Numbers:14:10 @But all the people said they were to be stoned. Then the glory of the Lord was seen in the Tent of meeting, before the eyes of all the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:14:11 @And the Lord said to Moses, How long will this people have no respect for me? how long will they be without faith, in the face of all the signs I have done among them?

bbe@Numbers:14:15 @Now if you put to death all this people as one man, then the nations who have had word of your glory will say,

bbe@Numbers:14:21 @But truly, as I am living, and as all the earth will be full of the glory of the Lord;

bbe@Numbers:14:22 @Because all these men, having seen my glory and the signs which I have done in Egypt and in the waste land, still have put me to the test ten times, and have not given ear to my voice;

bbe@Numbers:14:24 @But my servant Caleb, because he had a different spirit in him, and has been true to me with all his heart, him I will take into that land into which he went, and his seed will have it for their heritage.

bbe@Numbers:14:25 @Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites are in the valley; tomorrow, turning round, go into the waste land by the way to the Red Sea.

bbe@Numbers:14:29 @Your dead bodies will be stretched out in this waste land; and of all your number, all those of twenty years old and over who have been crying out against me,

bbe@Numbers:14:30 @Not one will come into the land which I gave my word you would have for your resting-place, but only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun.

bbe@Numbers:14:33 @And your children will be wanderers in the waste land for forty years, undergoing punishment for your false ways, till your bodies become dust in the waste land.

bbe@Numbers:14:35 @I the Lord have said it, and this I will certainly do to all this evil people who have come together against me: in this waste land destruction will come on them, and death will be their fate.

bbe@Numbers:14:38 @But Joshua, the son of Nun, and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, of those who went to see the land, were not touched by disease.

bbe@Numbers:14:43 @For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and you will be put to death by their swords: because you have gone back from the way of the Lord, the Lord will not be with you.

bbe@Numbers:14:45 @Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who were living in the hill-country, and overcame them completely, driving them back as far as Hormah.

bbe@Numbers:15:4 @Then let him who is making his offering, give to the Lord a meal offering of a tenth part of a measure of the best meal mixed with a fourth part of a hin of oil:

bbe@Numbers:15:6 @Or for a male sheep, give as a meal offering two tenth parts of a measure of the best meal mixed with a third part of a hin of oil:

bbe@Numbers:15:9 @Then with the ox give a meal offering of three tenth parts of a measure of the best meal mixed with half a hin of oil.

bbe@Numbers:15:10 @And for the drink offering: give half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:15:11 @This is to be done for every young ox and for every male sheep or he-lamb or young goat.

bbe@Numbers:15:13 @All those who are Israelites by birth are to do these things in this way, when giving an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:15:14 @And if a man from another country or any other person living among you, through all your generations, has the desire to give an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord, let him do as you do.

bbe@Numbers:15:20 @Of the first of your rough meal you are to give a cake for a lifted offering, lifting it up before the Lord as the offering of the grain-floor is lifted up.

bbe@Numbers:15:21 @From generation to generation you are to give to the Lord a lifted offering from the first of your rough meal.

bbe@Numbers:15:23 @All the laws which the Lord has given you by the hand of Moses, from the day when the Lord gave them, and ever after from generation to generation;

bbe@Numbers:15:24 @Then, if the wrong is done in error, without the knowledge of the meeting of the people, let all the meeting give a young ox as a burned offering, a sweet smell to the Lord, with its meal offering and its drink offering, as is ordered in the law, together with a he-goat for a sin-offering.

bbe@Numbers:15:26 @And all the meeting of the children of Israel, as well as those from other lands living among them, will have forgiveness; for it was an error on the part of the people.

bbe@Numbers:15:33 @And those who saw him getting sticks took him before Moses and Aaron and all the people.

bbe@Numbers:15:35 @Then the Lord said to Moses, Certainly the man is to be put to death: let him be stoned by all the people outside the tent-circle.

bbe@Numbers:15:36 @So all the people took him outside the tent-circle and he was stoned to death there, as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Numbers:15:38 @Say to the children of Israel that through all their generations they are to put on the edges of their robes an ornament of twisted threads, and in every ornament a blue cord;

bbe@Numbers:15:40 @And that you may keep in mind all my orders and do them and be holy to your God.

bbe@Numbers:16:1 @Now Korah, the son of Izhar, the son of Kohath, the son of Levi, with Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, and On, the son of Pallu, the son of Reuben, made themselves ready,

bbe@Numbers:16:3 @They came together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, You take overmuch on yourselves, seeing that all the people are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them; why then have you put yourselves in authority over the people of the Lord?

bbe@Numbers:16:6 @So do this: let Korah and all his band take vessels for burning perfumes;

bbe@Numbers:16:9 @Does it seem only a small thing to you that the God of Israel has made you separate from the rest of Israel, letting you come near himself to do the work of the House of the Lord, and to take your place before the people to do what has to be done for them;

bbe@Numbers:16:10 @Letting you, and all your brothers the sons of Levi, come near to him? and would you now be priests?

bbe@Numbers:16:11 @So you and all your band have come together against the Lord; and Aaron, who is he, that you are crying out against him?

bbe@Numbers:16:16 @And Moses said to Korah, You and all your band are to come before the Lord tomorrow, you and they and Aaron:

bbe@Numbers:16:19 @And Korah made all the people come together against them to the door of the Tent of meeting: and the glory of the Lord was seen by all the people.

bbe@Numbers:16:22 @Then falling down on their faces they said, O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, because of one man's sin will your wrath be moved against all the people?

bbe@Numbers:16:28 @And Moses said, Now you will see that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, and I have not done them of myself.

bbe@Numbers:16:29 @If these men have the common death of men, or if the natural fate of all men overtakes them, then the Lord has not sent me.

bbe@Numbers:16:32 @And the earth, opening her mouth, took them in, with their families, and all the men who were joined to Korah, and their goods.

bbe@Numbers:16:33 @So they and all theirs went down living into the underworld, and the earth was shut over them, and they were cut off from among the meeting of the people.

bbe@Numbers:16:34 @And all Israel round about them went in flight at their cry, For fear, said they, that we go down into the heart of the earth.

bbe@Numbers:16:38 @And let the vessels of those men, who with their lives have made payment for their sin, be hammered out into plates as a cover for the altar; for they have been offered before the Lord and are holy; so that they may be a sign to the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:16:39 @So Eleazar the priest took the brass vessels which had been offered by those who were burned up, and they were hammered out to make a cover for the altar:

bbe@Numbers:16:41 @But on the day after, all the children of Israel made an outcry against Moses and against Aaron, saying, You have put to death the Lord's people.

bbe@Numbers:16:46 @And Moses said to Aaron, Take your vessel and put in it fire from the altar, and sweet spices, and take it quickly into the meeting of the people, and make them free from sin: for wrath has gone out from the Lord, and the disease is starting.

bbe@Numbers:17:6 @So Moses gave these orders to the children of Israel, and all their chiefs gave him rods, one for the head of every family, making twelve rods: and Aaron's rod was among them.

bbe@Numbers:17:9 @Then Moses took out all the rods from before the Lord, and gave them back to the children of Israel: and they saw them, and every man took his rod.

bbe@Numbers:17:10 @And the Lord said to Moses, Put Aaron's rod back in front of the ark of witness, to be kept for a sign against this false-hearted people, so that you may put a stop to their outcries against me, and death may not overtake them.

bbe@Numbers:17:12 @And the children of Israel said to Moses, Truly, destruction has come on us; an evil fate has overtaken us all.

bbe@Numbers:17:13 @Death will overtake everyone who comes near, who comes near the House of the Lord: are we all to come to destruction?

bbe@Numbers:18:1 @And the Lord said to Aaron, You and your sons and your father's family are to be responsible for all wrongdoing in relation to the holy place: and you and your sons are to be responsible for the errors which come about in your work as priests.

bbe@Numbers:18:3 @They are to do your orders and be responsible for the work of the Tent; but they may not come near the vessels of the holy place or the altar, so that death may not overtake them or you.

bbe@Numbers:18:5 @You are to be responsible for the holy place and the altar, so that wrath may never again come on the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:18:7 @And you and your sons with you are to be responsible as priests for the altar and everything on it, and everything inside the veil; you are to do the work of priests; I have given you your position as priests; and any other man who comes near will be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:18:8 @And the Lord said to Aaron, See, I have given into your care my lifted offerings; even all the holy things of the children of Israel I have given to you and to your sons as your right for ever, because you have been marked with the holy oil.

bbe@Numbers:18:9 @This is to be yours of the most holy things, out of the fire offerings; every offering of theirs, every meal offering and sin-offering, and every offering which they make on account of error, is to be most holy for you and your sons.

bbe@Numbers:18:10 @As most holy things they are to be your food: let every male have them for food; it is to be holy to you

bbe@Numbers:18:11 @And this is yours: the lifted offering which they give and all the wave offerings of the children of Israel I have given to you and to your sons and to your daughters as your right for ever: everyone in your house who is clean may have them for food.

bbe@Numbers:18:12 @All the best of the oil and the wine and the grain, the first-fruits of them which they give to the Lord, to you have I given them.

bbe@Numbers:18:16 @Payment is to be made for these when they are a month old, at the value fixed by you, a price of five shekels by the scale of the holy place, that is, twenty gerahs to the shekel.

bbe@Numbers:18:17 @But no such payment may be made for the first birth of an ox or a sheep or a goat; these are holy: their blood is to be dropped on the altar, and their fat burned for an offering made by fire, a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:18:19 @All the lifted offerings of the holy things which the children of Israel give to the Lord, I have given to you and to your sons and to your daughters as a right for ever. This is an agreement made with salt before the Lord, to you and to your seed for ever.

bbe@Numbers:18:21 @And to the children of Levi I have given as their heritage all the tenths offered in Israel, as payment for the work they do, the work of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:18:23 @But the Levites are to do the work of the Tent of meeting, and be responsible for errors in connection with it: this is a law for ever through all your generations; and among the children of Israel they will have no heritage.

bbe@Numbers:18:28 @So you are to make an offering lifted up to the Lord from all the tenths which you get from the children of Israel, giving out of it the Lord's lifted offering to Aaron the priest.

bbe@Numbers:19:16 @And anyone touching one who has been put to death with the sword in the open country, or the body of one who has come to his end by a natural death, or a man's bone, or the resting-place of a dead body, will be unclean for seven days.

bbe@Numbers:19:18 @And a clean person is to take hyssop and put it in the water, shaking it over the tent, and all the vessels, and the people who were there, and over him by whom the bone, or the body of one who has been put to death with the sword, or the body of one who has come to his end by a natural death, or the resting-place was touched.

bbe@Numbers:20:1 @In the first month all the children of Israel came into the waste land of Zin, and put up their tents in Kadesh; there death came to Miriam, and they put her body to rest in the earth.

bbe@Numbers:20:6 @Then Moses and Aaron went away from the people to the door of the Tent of meeting; and, falling on their faces there, they saw the glory of the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:20:8 @Take the rod, you and Aaron, your brother, and make all the people come together, and before their eyes give orders to the rock to give out its water; and so make water come out of the rock for them, and give the people and their cattle drink.

bbe@Numbers:20:14 @Then Moses sent men from Kadesh to the king of Edom to say to him, Your brother Israel says, You have knowledge of all the things we have been through;

bbe@Numbers:20:22 @And they went on from Kadesh, and came, with all their people, to Mount Hor.

bbe@Numbers:20:27 @So Moses did as the Lord had said, and before the eyes of all the people they went up Mount Hor.

bbe@Numbers:20:29 @And when the people saw that Aaron was dead, all the children of Israel gave themselves up to weeping for him for thirty days.

bbe@Numbers:21:2 @Then Israel made an oath to the Lord, and said, If you will give up this people into my hands, then I will send complete destruction on all their towns.

bbe@Numbers:21:12 @And moving on from there, they put up their tents in the valley of Zered.

bbe@Numbers:21:14 @As it says in the book of the Wars of the Lord, Vaheb in Suphah, and the valley of the Amon;

bbe@Numbers:21:15 @The slope of the valleys going down to the tents of Ar and touching the edge of Moab.

bbe@Numbers:21:19 @And from Mattanah to Nahaliel: and from Nahaliel to Bamoth:

bbe@Numbers:21:20 @And from Bamoth to the valley in the open country of Moab, and to the top of Pisgah looking over Jeshimon.

bbe@Numbers:21:23 @And Sihon would not let Israel go through his land; but got all his people together and went out against Israel into the waste land, as far as Jahaz, to make war on Israel.

bbe@Numbers:21:24 @But Israel overcame him, and took all his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the country of the children of Ammon, for the country of the children of Ammon was strongly armed.

bbe@Numbers:21:25 @And Israel took all their towns, living in Heshbon and all the towns and small places of the Amorites.

bbe@Numbers:21:26 @For Heshbon was the town of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had made war against an earlier king of Moab and taken from him all his land as far as the Arnon.

bbe@Numbers:21:33 @Then turning they went up by the way of Bashan; and Og, king of Bashan, went out against them with all his people, to the fight at Edrei.

bbe@Numbers:21:34 @And the Lord said to Moses, Have no fear of him: for I have given him up into your hands, with all his people and his land; do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, at Heshbon.

bbe@Numbers:21:35 @So they overcame him and his sons and his people, driving them all out: and they took his land for their heritage.

bbe@Numbers:22:2 @Now Balak, the son of Zippor, saw what Israel had done to the Amorites.

bbe@Numbers:22:4 @Then Moab said to the responsible men of Midian, It is clear that this great people will be the destruction of everything round us, making a meal of us as the ox does of the grass of the field. At that time Balak, the son of Zippor, was king of Moab.

bbe@Numbers:22:5 @So he sent men to Balaam, son of Beor, at Pethor by the River in the land of the children of his people, saying to him, See, a people has come out of Egypt, covering all the face of the earth, and they have put up their tents opposite to me:

bbe@Numbers:22:7 @So the responsible men of Moab and Midian went away, taking in their hands rewards for the prophet; and they came to Balaam and said to him what Balak had given them orders to say.

bbe@Numbers:22:8 @And he said to them, Take your rest here tonight, and I will give you an answer after hearing what the Lord says; so the chiefs of Moab kept there with Balaam that night.

bbe@Numbers:22:9 @And God came to Balaam and said, Who are these men with you?

bbe@Numbers:22:10 @And Balaam said to God, Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent them to me, saying,

bbe@Numbers:22:11 @See, the people who have come out of Egypt are covering all the earth: now, put a curse on this people for me, so that I may be able to make war on them, driving them out of the land.

bbe@Numbers:22:12 @And God said to Balaam, You are not to go with them, or put a curse on this people, for they have my blessing.

bbe@Numbers:22:13 @In the morning Balaam got up and said to the chiefs of Balak, Go back to your land, for the Lord will not let me go with you.

bbe@Numbers:22:14 @So the chiefs of Moab went back to Balak and said, Balaam will not come with us.

bbe@Numbers:22:15 @So Balak sent more chiefs, greater in number and of higher position than the others.

bbe@Numbers:22:16 @And they came to Balaam and said, Balak, son of Zippor, says, Let nothing keep you from coming to me:

bbe@Numbers:22:18 @But Balaam, in answer; said to the servants of Balak, Even if Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, it would not be possible for me to do anything more or less than the orders of the Lord my God.

bbe@Numbers:22:20 @And that night God came to Balaam and said to him, If these men have come for you, go with them: but do only what I say to you.

bbe@Numbers:22:21 @So in the morning Balaam got up and, making his ass ready, went with the chiefs of Moab.

bbe@Numbers:22:23 @And the ass saw the angel of the Lord waiting in the road with his sword in his hand; and turning from the road, the ass went into the field; and Balaam gave the ass blows, to get her back on to the road.

bbe@Numbers:22:24 @Then the angel of the Lord took up his position in a narrow road through the vine-gardens, with a wall on this side and on that.

bbe@Numbers:22:25 @And the ass saw the angel of the Lord, and went near the wall, crushing Balaam's foot against the wall; and he gave her more blows.

bbe@Numbers:22:27 @And the ass saw the angel of the Lord and went down on the earth under Balaam; and full of wrath, Balaam gave her hard blows with his stick.

bbe@Numbers:22:28 @Then the Lord gave the ass the power of talking, and opening her mouth she said to Balaam, What have I done to you that you have given me blows these three times?

bbe@Numbers:22:29 @And Balaam said to the ass, You have made me seem foolish: if only I had a sword in my hand I would put you to death.

bbe@Numbers:22:30 @And the ass said to Balaam, Am I not your ass upon which you have gone all your life till this day? and have I ever done this to you before? And he said, No.

bbe@Numbers:22:31 @Then the Lord made Balaam's eyes open, and he saw the angel of the Lord in the way with his sword in his hand: and he went down on his face to the earth.

bbe@Numbers:22:34 @And Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, I have done wrong, for I did not see that you were in the way against me: but now, if it is evil in your eyes, I will go back again.

bbe@Numbers:22:35 @And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, Go with the men; but say only what I give you to say. Then Balaam went on with the chiefs of Balak.

bbe@Numbers:22:36 @Now Balak, hearing that Balaam had come, went to the chief town of Moab, on the edge of the Arnon, in the farthest part of the land, for the purpose of meeting him.

bbe@Numbers:22:37 @And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not send to you, requesting you with all my heart to come to me? why did you not come? am I not able to give you a place of honour?

bbe@Numbers:22:38 @Then Balaam said to Balak, Now I have come to you; but have I power to say anything? Only what God puts into my mouth may I say.

bbe@Numbers:22:39 @And Balaam went with Balak to Kiriath-huzoth.

bbe@Numbers:22:40 @And Balak made offerings of oxen and sheep, and sent to Balaam and the chiefs who were with him.

bbe@Numbers:22:41 @And in the morning Balak took Balaam up to the high places of Baal, and from there he was able to see the outer limits of the people.

bbe@Numbers:23:1 @And Balaam said to Balak, Make me here seven altars and get ready seven oxen and seven male sheep.

bbe@Numbers:23:2 @And Balak did as Balaam had said; and Balak and Balaam made an offering on every altar of an ox and a male sheep.

bbe@Numbers:23:3 @Then Balaam said to Balak, Take your place by your burned offering, and I will go and see if the Lord comes to me: and I will give you word of whatever he says to me. And he went to an open place on a hill.

bbe@Numbers:23:4 @And God came to Balaam, and Balaam said to him, I have made ready seven altars, offering an ox and a male sheep on every altar.

bbe@Numbers:23:5 @And the Lord put words in Balaam's mouth, and said, Go back to Balak, and this is what you are to say.

bbe@Numbers:23:6 @So he went back to him where he was waiting by his burned offering with all the chiefs of Moab.

bbe@Numbers:23:7 @And in the words which the Lord had given him he said, From Aram Balak has sent for me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East: come, put curses on Jacob for me and be angry with Israel.

bbe@Numbers:23:11 @Then Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I sent for you so that my haters might be cursed, and see, you have given them a blessing.

bbe@Numbers:23:13 @And Balak said to him, Come with me now into another place from which you will not be able to see them all, but only the outskirts of them; and you will send curses on them from there.

bbe@Numbers:23:14 @So he took him into the country of Zophim, to the top of Pisgah, and there they made seven altars, offering an ox and a male sheep on every altar.

bbe@Numbers:23:15 @Then he said to Balak, Take your place here by your burned offering, while I go over there to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:23:16 @And the Lord came to Balaam, and put words in his mouth, and said, Go back to Balak, and this is what you are to say.

bbe@Numbers:23:17 @So he came to him where he was waiting by his burned offering with the chiefs of Moab by his side. And Balak said to him, What has the Lord said?

bbe@Numbers:23:18 @And in the words which the Lord had given him he said, Up! Balak, and give ear; give attention to me, O son of Zippor:

bbe@Numbers:23:19 @God is not a man, to say what is false; or the son of man, that his purpose may be changed: what he has said, will he not do? and will he not give effect to the words of his mouth?

bbe@Numbers:23:24 @See, Israel comes up like a she-lion, lifting himself up like a lion: he will take no rest till he has made a meal of those he has overcome, drinking the blood of those he has put to death.

bbe@Numbers:23:25 @Then Balak said to Balaam, If you will not put a curse on them, at all events do not give them a blessing.

bbe@Numbers:23:26 @But Balaam in answer said to Balak, Did I not say to you, I may only do what the Lord says?

bbe@Numbers:23:27 @Then Balak said to Balaam, Come now, I will take you to another place; it may be that God will let you put a curse on them from there.

bbe@Numbers:23:28 @So Balak took Balaam to the top of Peor, looking down over the waste land.

bbe@Numbers:23:29 @And Balaam said to Balak, Make me seven altars here and get seven oxen and seven male sheep ready for me.

bbe@Numbers:23:30 @And Balak did as Balaam said, offering an ox and a male sheep on every altar.

bbe@Numbers:24:1 @Now when Balaam saw that it was the Lord's pleasure to give his blessing to Israel, he did not, as at other times, make use of secret arts, but turning his face to the waste land,

bbe@Numbers:24:3 @And moved by the spirit, he said, These are the words of Balaam, son of Beor, the words of the man whose eyes are open:

bbe@Numbers:24:4 @He says, whose ears are open to the words of God, who has seen the vision of the Ruler of all, falling down, but having his eyes open:

bbe@Numbers:24:6 @They are stretched out like valleys, like gardens by the riverside, like flowering trees planted by the Lord, like cedar-trees by the waters.

bbe@Numbers:24:10 @Then Balak was full of wrath against Balaam, and angrily waving his hands he said to Balaam, I sent for you so that those who are against me might be cursed, but now, see, three times you have given them a blessing.

bbe@Numbers:24:12 @Then Balaam said to Balak, Did I not say to the men you sent to me,

bbe@Numbers:24:13 @Even if Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, it would not be possible for me to go outside the orders of the Lord, doing good or evil at the impulse of my mind; whatever the Lord says I will say?

bbe@Numbers:24:15 @Then he went on with his story and said, These are the words of Balaam, the son of Beor, the words of him whose eyes are open:

bbe@Numbers:24:16 @He says, whose ear is open to the words of God, who has knowledge of the Most High, who has seen the vision of the Ruler of all, falling down and having his eyes open:

bbe@Numbers:24:17 @I see him, but not now: looking on him, but not near: a star will come out of Jacob, and a rod of authority out of Israel, sending destruction to the farthest limits of Moab and on the head of all the sons of Sheth.

bbe@Numbers:24:20 @Then, turning his eyes to Amalek, he went on with his story and said, Amalek was the first of the nations, but his part will be destruction for ever

bbe@Numbers:24:25 @Then Balaam got up and went back to his place: and Balak went away.

bbe@Numbers:25:1 @Now when Israel was living in Shittim the people became false to the Lord, doing evil with the daughters of Moab:

bbe@Numbers:25:3 @So Israel had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor: and the Lord was moved to wrath against Israel.

bbe@Numbers:25:4 @Then the Lord said to Moses, Take all the chiefs of the people, hanging them up in the sun before the Lord, so that the wrath of the Lord may be turned from Israel.

bbe@Numbers:25:5 @So Moses said to the judges of Israel, Let everyone put to death those of his men who have had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor.

bbe@Numbers:25:6 @Then one of the children of Israel came to his brothers, taking with him a woman of Midian, before the eyes of Moses and all the meeting of the people, while they were weeping at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:25:11 @Through Phinehas, and because of his passion for my honour, my wrath has been turned away from the children of Israel, so that I have not sent destruction on them all in my wrath.

bbe@Numbers:25:14 @Now the man of Israel who was put to death with the woman of Midian was Zimri, the son of Salu, a chief of one of the families of the Simeonites.

bbe@Numbers:25:18 @For they are a danger to you with their false ways, causing sin to come on you in the question of Peor, and because of Cozbi, their sister, the daughter of the chief of Midian, who was put to death at the time of the disease which came on you because of Peor.

bbe@Numbers:26:2 @Let all the children of Israel be numbered, by the names of their fathers' families, all those of twenty years old and over who are able to go to war in Israel.

bbe@Numbers:26:4 @Let all the people of twenty years old and over be numbered, as the Lord has given orders to Moses and the children of Israel who have come out of Egypt.

bbe@Numbers:26:5 @Reuben, the first son of Israel: the sons of Reuben by their families: of Hanoch, the family of the Hanochites: of Pallu, the family of the Palluites:

bbe@Numbers:26:8 @And the sons of Pallu, Eliab

bbe@Numbers:26:10 @And they went down into the open mouth of the earth, together with Korah, when death overtook him and all his band; at the time when two hundred and fifty men were burned in the fire, and they became a sign.

bbe@Numbers:26:43 @All the families of the Shuhamites, as they were numbered, were sixty-four thousand, four hundred.

bbe@Numbers:26:45 @Of the sons of Beriah: of Heber, the family of the Heberites: of Malchiel, the family of the Malchielites:

bbe@Numbers:26:48 @The sons of Naphtali by their families: of Jahzeel, the family of the Jahzeelites: of Guni, the family of the Gunites:

bbe@Numbers:26:50 @These are the families of Naphtali by their families: and those who were numbered of them were forty-five thousand, four hundred.

bbe@Numbers:26:54 @To those families who are more in number, give a greater heritage; to those who are less in number, a smaller part: to every one let the heritage be given in relation to the number in his family.

bbe@Numbers:26:62 @Of these, twenty-three thousand males, from one month old and over, were numbered: they were not numbered with the rest of the children of Israel, for they had no heritage among the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:26:63 @All these were numbered by Moses and Eleazar the priest when the children of Israel were numbered in the lowlands of Moab by the Jordan at Jericho.

bbe@Numbers:26:64 @But among all these was not one of those numbered by Moses and Aaron the priest when the children of Israel were numbered in the waste land of Sinai.

bbe@Numbers:26:65 @For the Lord had said of them, Death will certainly overtake them in the waste land. And of them all, only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun, were still living.

bbe@Numbers:27:2 @They came before Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs and all the people at the door of the Tent of meeting, and said,

bbe@Numbers:27:16 @Let the Lord, the God of the spirits of all flesh, put a man at the head of this people,

bbe@Numbers:27:19 @And take him before Eleazar the priest and all the meeting of the people, and give him his orders before their eyes.

bbe@Numbers:27:20 @And put your honour on him, so that all the children of Israel may be under his authority.

bbe@Numbers:27:21 @He will take his place before Eleazar the priest, so that he may get directions from the Lord for him, with the Urim: at his word they will go out, and at his word they will come in, he and all the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:28:5 @And the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with the fourth part of a hin of clear oil.

bbe@Numbers:28:8 @Let the other lamb be offered at evening; like the meal offering of the morning and its drink offering, let it be offered as an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:28:9 @And on the Sabbath day, two he-lambs of the first year, without any mark, and two tenth parts of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with oil, and its drink offering:

bbe@Numbers:28:11 @And on the first day of every month you are to give a burned offering to the Lord; two oxen, one male sheep, and seven he-lambs of the first year, without any mark;

bbe@Numbers:28:12 @And three tenth parts of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with oil, for every ox; and two tenth parts of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with oil, for the one sheep;

bbe@Numbers:28:13 @And a separate tenth part of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering for every lamb; for a burned offering of a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:28:14 @And their drink offerings are to be half a hin of wine for an ox, and the third part of a hin for a male sheep, and the fourth part of a hin for a lamb: this is the burned offering for every month through all the months of the year.

bbe@Numbers:28:19 @And you are to give an offering made by fire, a burned offering to the Lord; two oxen, one male sheep, and seven he-lambs of the first year, without any mark:

bbe@Numbers:28:20 @And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil: let three tenth parts of an ephah be offered for an ox and two tenth parts for a male sheep;

bbe@Numbers:28:23 @These are to be offered in addition to the morning burned offering, which is a regular burned offering at all times.

bbe@Numbers:28:26 @And at the time of the first-fruits, when you give an offering of new meal to the Lord at your feast of weeks, there is to be a holy meeting: you may do no field-work:

bbe@Numbers:28:27 @And give a burned offering for a sweet smell to the Lord; two oxen, one male sheep, and seven he-lambs of the first year;

bbe@Numbers:28:28 @And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil, three tenth parts for an ox, two tenth parts for a male sheep,

bbe@Numbers:28:31 @These are in addition to the regular burned offering and its meal offering; take care that they are without any mark, and let them be offered with their drink offerings.

bbe@Numbers:29:2 @And give to the Lord a burned offering for a sweet smell; one ox, one male sheep, seven he-lambs of the first year, without any mark on them:

bbe@Numbers:29:3 @And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil, three tenth parts for an ox, two tenth parts for a male sheep,

bbe@Numbers:29:6 @In addition to the burned offering of the new moon, and its meal offering, and the regular burned offering and its meal offering, and their drink offerings, as they are ordered, for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:29:8 @And give to the Lord a burned offering for a sweet smell; one ox, one male sheep, seven he-lambs of the first year: only those without any mark on them may be used:

bbe@Numbers:29:11 @One he-goat for a sin-offering; in addition to the offering for taking away your sin, and the regular burned offering and its meal offering, and their drink offerings.

bbe@Numbers:29:13 @And give a burned offering, an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord, thirteen oxen, two male sheep, fourteen he-lambs of the first year, all without any mark on them;

bbe@Numbers:29:14 @And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil, three tenth parts for every one of the thirteen oxen, two tenth parts for every male sheep,

bbe@Numbers:29:16 @And one he-goat for a sin-offering; in addition to the regular burned offering, and its meal offering, and its drink offering.

bbe@Numbers:29:17 @On the second day of the feast give an offering of twelve oxen, two male sheep, fourteen he-lambs of the first year, without any mark on them;

bbe@Numbers:29:38 @And one he-goat for a sin-offering; in addition to the regular burned offering, and its meal offering, and its drink offering.

bbe@Numbers:29:40 @So Moses gave the children of Israel all these directions as the Lord had given him orders.

bbe@Numbers:30:4 @If her father, hearing of her oath or the undertaking she has given, says nothing to her, then all her oaths and every undertaking she has given will have force.

bbe@Numbers:30:11 @And her husband, hearing of it, said nothing to her and did not put a stop to it, then all her oaths and every undertaking she gave will have force.

bbe@Numbers:31:7 @And they made war on Midian, as the Lord gave orders to Moses; and they put to death every male.

bbe@Numbers:31:8 @They put the kings of Midian to death with the rest, Evi and Reken and Zur and Hur and Reba, the five kings of Midian: and Balaam, the son of Beor, they put to death with the sword.

bbe@Numbers:31:9 @The women of Midian with their little ones the children of Israel took prisoner; and all their cattle and flocks and all their goods they took for themselves;

bbe@Numbers:31:10 @And after burning all their towns and all their tent-circles,

bbe@Numbers:31:15 @And Moses said to them, Why have you kept all the women safe?

bbe@Numbers:31:16 @It was these who, moved by Balaam, were the cause of Israel's sin against the Lord in the question of Peor, because of which disease came on the people of the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:31:17 @So now put every male child to death, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man.

bbe@Numbers:31:18 @But all the female children who have had no sex relations with men, you may keep for yourselves.

bbe@Numbers:31:27 @And let division be made of it into two parts, one for the men of war who went out to the fight, and one for all the people:

bbe@Numbers:31:36 @And the half given as their part to the men who went to the war, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,

bbe@Numbers:31:42 @And from the half given to the children of Israel, which Moses had kept separate from that given to the fighting-men,

bbe@Numbers:31:43 @(Now the people's half was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,

bbe@Numbers:31:47 @Even from the children of Israel's half, Moses took one out of every fifty, men and beasts, and gave them to the Levites who had the care of the House of the Lord; as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Numbers:31:49 @And said to him, Your servants have taken note of the number of all the fighting-men under our orders, and every one is present;

bbe@Numbers:31:51 @So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even all the worked ornaments.

bbe@Numbers:32:3 @Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and Nimrah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and Sebam, and Nebo, and Beon,

bbe@Numbers:32:5 @And they said, With your approval, let this land be given to your servants as their heritage: do not take us over Jordan.

bbe@Numbers:32:9 @For when they went up to the valley of Eshcol, and saw the land, they took from the children of Israel the desire to go into the land which the Lord had given them.

bbe@Numbers:32:11 @Truly, not one of the men of twenty years old and over who came out of Egypt will see the land which I gave by oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; because they have not been true to me with all their heart;

bbe@Numbers:32:12 @But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, and Joshua, the son of Nun: because they have been true to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:32:13 @Then the Lord was angry with Israel, and he made them wanderers in the waste land for forty years? till all that generation who had done evil in the eyes of the Lord was dead.

bbe@Numbers:32:15 @For if you are turned away from him, he will send them wandering again in the waste land; and you will be the cause of the destruction of all this people.

bbe@Numbers:32:17 @But we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel till we have taken them to their place: but our little ones will be safe in the walled towns against the people of the land.

bbe@Numbers:32:21 @Every armed man of you going across Jordan before the Lord till he has overcome and sent in flight all who are against him,

bbe@Numbers:32:26 @Our little ones, our wives, and our flocks, and all our cattle, will be there in the towns of Gilead;

bbe@Numbers:32:29 @And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben go with you over Jordan, every man armed for the fight before the Lord, and all the land is given into your hands, then let them have the land of Gilead for a heritage:

bbe@Numbers:32:33 @So Moses gave to them, even to the children of Gad and the children of Reuben and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites and Og, king of Bashan, all the land with its towns and the country round them.

bbe@Numbers:32:36 @And Beth-nimrah and Beth-haran: walled towns and shut-in places for sheep.

bbe@Numbers:32:37 @And the children of Reuben were the builders of Heshbon and Elealeh and Kiriathaim;

bbe@Numbers:32:38 @And Nebo and Baal-meon, (their names being changed,) and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the towns they made.

bbe@Numbers:32:42 @And Nobah went and took Kenath and its small towns, naming it Nobah, after himself.

bbe@Numbers:33:3 @On the fifteenth day of the first month they went out from Rameses; on the day after the Passover the children of Israel went out by the power of the Lord before the eyes of all the Egyptians,

bbe@Numbers:33:7 @And from Etham, turning back to Pi-hahiroth which is before Baal-zephon, they put up their tents before Migdol.

bbe@Numbers:33:9 @And from Marah they went on to Elim: and in Elim there were twelve water-springs and seventy palm-trees; and they put up their tents there.

bbe@Numbers:33:13 @And they went on from Dophkah, and put up their tents in Alush.

bbe@Numbers:33:14 @And they went on from Alush, and put up their tents in Rephidim, where there was no drinking-water for the people.

bbe@Numbers:33:41 @And from Mount Hor they went on, and put up their tents in Zalmonah.

bbe@Numbers:33:42 @And they went on from Zalmonah, and put up their tents in Punon.

bbe@Numbers:33:46 @And from Dibon-gad they went on, and put up their tents in Almon-diblathaim.

bbe@Numbers:33:47 @And from Almon-diblathaim they went on, and put up their tents in the mountains of Abarim, before Nebo.

bbe@Numbers:33:52 @See that all the people of the land are forced out from before you, and put to destruction all their pictured stones, and all their metal images, and all their high places:

bbe@Numbers:33:54 @And you will take up your heritage in the land by the decision of the Lord, to every family its part; the greater the family the greater its heritage, and the smaller the family the smaller will be its heritage; wherever the decision of the Lord gives to any man his part, that will be his; distribution will be made to you by your fathers' tribes.

bbe@Numbers:34:3 @Then your south quarter will be from the waste land of Zin by the side of Edom, and your limit on the south will be from the east end of the Salt Sea,

bbe@Numbers:34:12 @And so down to Jordan, stretching to the Salt Sea: all the land inside these limits will be yours.

bbe@Numbers:34:13 @And Moses gave orders to the children of Israel saying, This is the land which is to be your heritage, by the decision of the Lord, which by the Lord's order is to be given to the nine tribes and the half-tribe:

bbe@Numbers:34:14 @For the tribe of the children of Reuben, by their fathers' families, and the tribe of the children of Gad, by their fathers' families, and the half-tribe of Manasseh, have been given their heritage:

bbe@Numbers:34:15 @The two tribes and the half-tribe have been given their heritage on the other side of Jordan at Jericho, on the east looking to the dawn.

bbe@Numbers:34:19 @And these are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, the son of Jephunneh.

bbe@Numbers:34:26 @And of the tribe of the children of Issachar, a chief, Paltiel, the son of Azzan.

bbe@Numbers:34:28 @And of the tribe of the children of Naphtali, a chief, Pedahel, the son of Ammihud.

bbe@Numbers:35:3 @These towns are to be their living-places, with land round them for their cattle and their food and all their beasts,

bbe@Numbers:35:4 @Stretching from the wall of the towns a distance of a thousand cubits all round.

bbe@Numbers:35:7 @Forty-eight towns are to be given to the Levites, all with land round them.

bbe@Numbers:35:8 @And these towns are to be given out of the heritage of the children of Israel, taking the greater number from those who have much, and a smaller number from those who have little: everyone, in the measure of his heritage, is to give of his property to the Levites.

bbe@Numbers:35:26 @But if ever he goes outside the walls of the safe town where he had gone in flight,

bbe@Numbers:35:27 @And the giver of punishment, meeting him outside the walls of the town, puts him to death, he will not be responsible for his blood:

bbe@Numbers:35:29 @These rules are to be your guide in judging through all your generations wherever you may be living.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:1 @These are the words which Moses said to all Israel on the far side of Jordan, in the waste land in the Arabah opposite Suph, between Paran on the one side, and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab on the other.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:3 @Now in the fortieth year, on the first day of the eleventh month, Moses gave to the children of Israel all the orders which the Lord had given him for them;

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:7 @Make a move now, and go on your way into the hill-country of the Amorites and the places near it, in the Arabah and the hill-country and in the lowlands and in the South and by the seaside, all the land of the Canaanites, and Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:8 @See, all the land is before you: go in and take for yourselves the land which the Lord gave by an oath to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and to their seed after them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:12 @How is it possible for me by myself to be responsible for you, and undertake the weight of all your troubles and your arguments?

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:16 @And at that time I gave orders to your judges, saying, Let all questions between your brothers come before you for hearing, and give decisions uprightly between a man and his brother or one from another nation who is with him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:17 @In judging, do not let a man's position have any weight with you; give hearing equally to small and great; have no fear of any man, for it is God who is judge: and any cause in which you are not able to give a decision, you are to put before me and I will give it a hearing.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:18 @And at that time I gave you all the orders which you were to do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:19 @Then we went on from Horeb, through all that great and cruel waste which you saw, on our way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as the Lord gave us orders; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:24 @And they went up into the hill-country and came to the valley of Eshcol, and saw what was there.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:28 @Where are we going up? Our brothers have made our hearts feeble with fear by saying, The people are greater and taller than we are, and the towns are great and walled up to heaven; and more than this, we have seen the sons of the Anakim there.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:31 @And in the waste land, where you have seen how the Lord was supporting you, as a man does his son, in all your journeying till you came to this place.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:32 @But for all this, you had no faith in the Lord your God,

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:36 @But only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he will see it; and to him and to his children I will give the land over which his feet have gone, because he has been true to the Lord with all his heart.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:7 @For the blessing of the Lord your God has been on you in all the work of your hands: he has knowledge of your wanderings through this great waste: these forty years the Lord your God has been with you, and you have been short of nothing.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:10 @(In the past the Emim were living there; a great people, equal in numbers to the Anakim and as tall;

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:14 @Thirty-eight years had gone by from the time when we came away from Kadesh-barnea till we went over the stream Zered; by that time all the generation of the men of war among us were dead, as the Lord had said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:15 @For the hand of the Lord was against them, working their destruction, till all were dead.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:16 @So when death had overtaken all the men of war among the people,

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:21 @They were a great people, tall as the Anakim, and equal to them in number; but the Lord sent destruction on them and the children of Ammon took their place, living in their land;

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:23 @And the Avvim, living in the small towns as far as Gaza, came to destruction by the hands of the Caphtorim who came out from Caphtor and took their land.)

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:24 @Get up now, and go on your journey, crossing over the valley of the Arnon: see, I have given into your hands Sihon, the Amorite, king of Heshbon, and all his land: go forward to make it yours, and make war on him,

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:25 @From now on I will put the fear of you in all peoples under heaven, who, hearing of you, will be shaking with fear and grief of heart because of you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:32 @Then Sihon came out against us with all his people, to make an attack on us at Jahaz.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:33 @And the Lord our God gave him into our hands; and we overcame him and his sons and all his people.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:34 @At that time we took all his towns, and gave them over to complete destruction, together with men, women, and children; we had no mercy on any:

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:36 @From Aroer on the edge of the valley of the Arnon and from the town in the valley as far as Gilead, no town was strong enough to keep us out; the Lord our God gave them all into our hands:

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:37 @But you did not go near the land of the children of Ammon, that is, all the side of the river Jabbok or the towns of the hill-country, wherever the Lord our God had said we were not to go.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:1 @Then turning we took the road to Bashan: and Og, king of Bashan, came out against us with all his people, and made an attack on us at Edrei.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:2 @And the Lord said to me, Have no fear of him: for I have given him and all his people and his land into your hands; do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:3 @So the Lord our God gave up Og, king of Bashan, and all his people into our hands; and we overcame him so completely that all his people came to their end in the fight.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:4 @At that time we took all his towns; there was not one town of the sixty towns, all the country of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which we did not take.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:5 @All these towns had high walls round them with doors and locks; and in addition we took a great number of unwalled towns.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:7 @But we took for ourselves all the cattle and the stored wealth of the towns.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:8 @At that time we took their land from the two kings of the Amorites on the far side of Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon;

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:10 @All the towns of the table-land and all Gilead and Bashan as far as Salecah and Edrei, towns of the kingdom of Og in Bashan

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:11 @(For Og, king of Bashan, was the last of all the Rephaim; his bed was made of iron; is it not in Rabbah, in the land of the children of Ammon? It was nine cubits long and four cubits wide, measured by the common cubit.)

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:12 @And this land which we took at that time, from Aroer by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead with its towns, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:13 @The rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, all the land of Argob, together with Bashan, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (This land is named the land of the Rephaim.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:14 @Jair, the son of Manasseh, took all the land of Argob, as far as the country of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, naming it, Bashan, Havvoth-Jair after himself, as it is to this day.)

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:16 @And the land from Gilead to the valley of the Arnon, with the middle of the valley as a limit, as far as the river Jabbok which is the limit of the country of the children of Ammon, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites;

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:17 @As well as the Arabah, with the river Jordan as their limit, from Chinnereth to the Salt Sea, under the slopes of Pisgah to the east.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:18 @At that time I gave you orders, saying, The Lord has given you this land for your heritage: all the men of war are to go over armed before your brothers the children of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:21 @And I gave orders to Joshua at that time, saying, Your eyes have seen what the Lord your God has done to these two kings: so will the Lord do to all the kingdoms into which you come.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:29 @So we were waiting in the valley facing Beth-peor.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:3 @Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal-peor: for destruction came from the Lord on all those among you who went after Baal-peor.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:6 @So keep these laws and do them; for so will your wisdom and good sense be clear in the eyes of the peoples, who hearing all these laws will say, Truly, this great nation is a wise and far-seeing people.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:8 @And what great nation has laws and decisions so right as all this law which I put before you today?

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:9 @Only take care, and keep watch on your soul, for fear that the things which your eyes have seen go from your memory and from your heart all the days of your life; but let the knowledge of them be given to your children and to your children's children;

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:10 @That day when you were waiting before the Lord your God in Horeb, and the Lord said to me, Make all the people come together, so that hearing my words they may go in fear of me all the days of their life on earth and give this teaching to their children

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:11 @And you came near, waiting at the foot of the mountain; and flames of fire went up from the mountain to the heart of heaven, with dark clouds, and all was black as night.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:16 @So that you may not be turned to evil ways and make for yourselves an image in the form of any living thing, male or female,

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:19 @And when your eyes are lifted up to heaven, and you see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the army of heaven, do not let yourselves be moved to give them worship, or become the servants of what the Lord has given equally to all peoples under heaven.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:24 @For the Lord your God is an all-burning fire, and he will not let the honour which is his be given to any other.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:27 @And the Lord will send you wandering among the peoples; only a small band of you will be kept from death among the nations where the Lord will send you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:29 @But if in those lands you are turned again to the Lord your God, searching for him with all your heart and soul, he will not keep himself from you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:30 @When you are in trouble and all these things have come on you, if, in the future, you are turned again to the Lord your God, and give ear to his voice:

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:31 @Because the Lord your God is a God of mercy, he will not take away his help from you or let destruction overtake you, or be false to the agreement which he made by an oath with your fathers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:32 @Give thought now to the days which are past, before your time, from the day when God first gave life to man on the earth, and searching from one end of heaven to the other, see if such a great thing as this has ever been, or if anything like it has been talked of in story.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:35 @All this he let you see, so that you might be certain that the Lord is God and there is no other.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:46 @On the far side of Jordan, in the valley facing Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel overcame after they had come out of Egypt:

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:48 @From Aroer on the edge of the valley of the Arnon as far as Mount Sion, which is Hermon,

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:49 @And all the Arabah on the far side of Jordan to the east, as far as the sea of the Arabah under the slopes of Pisgah.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:1 @And Moses sent for all Israel, and said to them, Give ear, O Israel, to the laws and the decisions which I give you today, and give attention to them so that you may keep and do them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:3 @The Lord did not make this agreement with our fathers but with us, who are all living and present here today.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:13 @On six days do all your work:

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:16 @Give honour to your father and your mother, as you have been ordered by the Lord your God; so that your life may be long and all may be well for you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:18 @Do not be false to the married relation.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:20 @Do not give false witness against your neighbour;

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:22 @These words the Lord said to all of you together on the mountain, out of the heart of the fire, out of the cloud and the dark, with a great voice: and he said no more; he put them in writing on the two stones of the law and gave them to me.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:23 @And after hearing the voice which came out of the dark while the mountain was burning with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your chiefs came to me,

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:26 @For what man is there in all the earth, who, hearing the voice of the living God as we have, out of the heart of the fire, has been kept from death?

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:27 @Do you go near: and after hearing everything which the Lord our God has to say, give us an account of all he has said to you, and we will give ear, and do it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:29 @If only they had such a heart in them at all times, so that they might go in fear of me and keep my orders and that it might be well for them and for their children for ever!

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:31 @But as for you, keep your place here by me, and I will give you all the orders and the laws and the decisions which you are to make clear to them, so that they may do them in the land which I am giving them for their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:33 @Go on walking in the way ordered for you by the Lord your God, so that life may be yours and it may be well for you, and your days may be long in the land of your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:2 @So that living in the fear of the Lord your God, you may keep all his laws and his orders, which I give you: you and your son and your son's son, all the days of your life; and so that your life may be long.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:5 @And the Lord your God is to be loved with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:7 @Teaching them to your children with all care, talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:19 @To send out from before you all those who are against you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:22 @And the Lord did great signs and wonders against Egypt, and against Pharaoh and all his house, before our eyes:

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:24 @And the Lord gave us orders to keep all these laws, in the fear of the Lord our God, so that it might be well for us for ever, and that he might keep us from death, as he has done to this day.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:25 @And it will be our righteousness if we take care to keep all this order before the Lord our God as he has given it to us.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:5 @But this is what you are to do to them: their altars are to be pulled down and their pillars broken, and their holy trees cut down and their images burned with fire.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:6 @For you are a holy people to the Lord your God: marked out by the Lord your God to be his special people out of all the nations on the face of the earth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:7 @The Lord did not give you his love or take you for himself because you were more in number than any other people; for you were the smallest of the nations:

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:14 @You will have greater blessings than any other people: no male or female among you or among your cattle will be without offspring.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:15 @And the Lord will take away from you all disease, and will not put on you any of the evil diseases of Egypt which you have seen, but will put them on your haters.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:16 @And you are to send destruction on all the peoples which the Lord your God gives into your hands; have no pity on them, and do not give worship to their gods; for that will be a cause of sin to you

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:18 @Have no fear of them, but keep well in mind what the Lord your God did to Pharaoh and to all Egypt;

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:19 @The great punishments which your eyes saw, and the signs and the wonders and the strong hand and the stretched-out arm, by which the Lord your God took you out: so will the Lord your God do to all the peoples who are the cause of your fears.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:20 @And the Lord will send a hornet among them, till all the rest who have kept themselves safe from you in secret places have been cut off.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:1 @Take care to keep all the orders which I give you today, so that you may have life and be increased and go in and take as a heritage the land which the Lord, by his oath to your fathers, undertook to give you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:4 @Through all these forty years your clothing did not get old or your feet become tired.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:6 @Then keep the orders of the Lord your God, fearing him and walking in his ways.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:7 @For the Lord your God is guiding you into a good land, a land of water-springs, of fountains, and deep streams flowing out from the valleys and the hills;

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:13 @And when your herds and your flocks are increased, and your stores of silver and gold, and you have wealth of every sort;

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:17 @Say not then, in your hearts, My power and the strength of my hands have got me this wealth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:18 @But keep in mind the Lord your God: for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth, so that he may give effect to the agreement which he made by his oath with your fathers, as at this day

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:1 @Give ear, O Israel: today you are to go over Jordan, to take the heritage of nations greater and stronger than yourselves, and towns of great size with walls as high as heaven;

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:2 @A people great and tall, the sons of the Anakim, of whom you have knowledge and of whom it has been said, All are forced to give way before the sons of Anak.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:3 @Be certain then today that it is the Lord your God who goes over before you like an all-burning fire; he will send destruction on them, crushing them before you; and you will send them in flight, putting an end to them quickly, as the Lord has said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:10 @And the Lord gave me the two stones with writing on them done by the finger of God: on them were recorded all the words which the Lord said to you on the mountain out of the heart of the fire, on the day of the great meeting.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:12 @And the Lord said to me, Get up now, and go down quickly from this place; for the people you have taken out of Egypt have given themselves over to evil; they have quickly been turned from the way in which I gave them orders to go; they have made themselves a metal image.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:16 @And I saw that you had done evil against the Lord, and had made for yourselves a metal image of a young ox: you had quickly been turned from the way in which the Lord had given you orders to go.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:18 @And I went down on my face before the Lord, as at the first, for forty days and forty nights, without taking food or drinking water, because of all your sin, in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord and moving him to wrath.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:21 @And I took your sin, the image which you had made, and put it in the fire and had it hammered and crushed very small till it was only dust: and the dust I put in the stream flowing down from the mountain.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:26 @And I made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord God, do not send destruction on your people and your heritage, to whom, by your great power, you have given salvation, whom you have taken out of Egypt by the strength of your hand.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:12 @And now, Israel, what would the Lord your God have you do, but to go in the fear of the Lord your God, walking in all his ways and loving him and doing his pleasure with all your heart and all your soul,

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:15 @But the Lord had delight in your fathers and love for them, marking out for himself their seed after them, even you, from all peoples, as at this day.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:20 @Let the fear of the Lord your God be before you, give him worship and be true to him at all times, taking your oaths in his name.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:21 @He is your God, the God of your praise, your God who has done for you all these works of power which your eyes have seen.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:1 @So have love for the Lord your God, and give him worship, and keep his laws and his decisions and his orders at all times.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:3 @Or his signs and wonders which he did in Egypt, to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and all his land;

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:6 @And what he did to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab, the son of Reuben; when they went down into the open mouth of the earth, with their families and their tents and every living thing which was theirs, before the eyes of all Israel:

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:7 @But your eyes have seen all the great works of the Lord which he has done.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:8 @So keep all the orders which I give you today, so that you may be strong, and go in and take the land which is to be your heritage;

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:11 @But the land where you are going is a land of hills and valleys, drinking in the rain of heaven:

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:12 @A land cared for by the Lord your God: the eyes of the Lord your God are on it at all times from one end of the year to the other.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:13 @And it will be that if you truly give ear to the orders which I put before you this day, loving the Lord your God and worshipping him with all your heart and all your soul,

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:16 @But take care that your hearts are not turned to false ways so that you become servants and worshippers of other gods;

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:19 @Teaching them to your children, and talking of them when you are at rest in your house or walking by the way, when you go to sleep and when you get up:

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:21 @So that your days, and the days of your children, may be long in the land which the Lord by his oath to your fathers said he would give them, like the days of the eternal heavens.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:22 @For if you take care to keep all the orders which I give you, and to do them; loving the Lord your God and walking in all his ways and being true to him:

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:25 @All people will give way before you: for the Lord your God will put the fear of you on all the land through which you go, as he has said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:29 @And when the Lord your God has taken you into the land of your heritage, you are to put the blessing on Mount Gerizim and the curse on Mount Ebal.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:30 @Are they not on the other side of Jordan, looking west, in the land of the Canaanites living in the Arabah, opposite Gilgal, by the holy tree of Moreh?

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:32 @And you are to take care to keep all the laws and the decisions which I put before you today.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:1 @These are the laws and the decisions which you are to keep with care in the land which the Lord, the God of your fathers, has given you to be your heritage all the days of your life on earth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:2 @You are to give up to the curse all those places where the nations, whom you are driving out, gave worship to their gods, on the high mountains and the hills and under every green tree:

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:3 @Their altars and their pillars are to be broken down, and their holy trees burned with fire, and the images of their gods cut down; you are to take away their names out of that place.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:7 @There you and all your families are to make a feast before the Lord your God, with joy in everything to which you put your hand, because the Lord has given you his blessing.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:10 @But when you have gone over Jordan and are living in the land which the Lord your God is giving you as your heritage, and when he has given you rest from all those on every side who are fighting against you, and you are living there safely;

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:11 @Then there will be a place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place for his name, and there you will take all the things which I give you orders to take: your burned offerings and other offerings, and the tenth part of your goods, and the offerings to be lifted up, and the offerings of your oaths which you make to the Lord;

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:15 @Only you may put to death animals, such as the gazelle or the roe, for your food in any of your towns, at the desire of your soul, in keeping with the blessing of the Lord your God which he has given you: the unclean and the clean may take of it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:21 @If the place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place for his name is far away from you, then take from your herds and from your flocks which the Lord has given you, as I have said, and have a meal of it in the towns where you may be living.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:27 @Offering the flesh and the blood of your burned offerings on the altar of the Lord your God; and the blood of your offerings is to be drained out on the altar of the Lord your God, and the flesh will be your food.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:28 @Take note of all these orders I am giving you and give attention to them, so that it may be well for you and for your children after you for ever, while you do what is good and right in the eyes of the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:32 @You are to keep with care all the words I give you, making no addition to them and taking nothing from them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:3 @Then give no attention to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God is testing you, to see if all the love of your heart and soul is given to him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:9 @But put him to death without question; let your hand be the first stretched out against him to put him to death, and then the hands of all the people.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:10 @Let him be stoned with stones till he is dead; because it was his purpose to make you false to the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:11 @And all Israel, hearing of it, will be full of fear, and no one will again do such evil as this among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:15 @Then take up arms against the people of that town and give it up to the curse, with all its cattle and everything in it

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:16 @And take all the goods into the middle of its open space, burning the town and all its property with fire as an offering to the Lord your God; it is to be a waste for ever; there is to be no more building there.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:18 @So long as you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep all his orders which I give you today, and do what is right in the eyes of the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:2 @For you are a holy people to the Lord your God, and the Lord has taken you to be his special people out of all the nations on the face of the earth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:9 @And of the things living in the waters, you may take all those who have wings for swimming with and skins formed of thin plates.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:11 @All clean birds may be used for food.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:13 @The falcon and the kite, and birds of that sort;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:14 @Every raven, and all birds of that sort;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:20 @But all clean birds you may take.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:21 @You may not have as food anything which has come to a natural death; the man from another country who is living with you may take it for food, or you may get a price for it from one of another nation; for you are a holy people to the Lord your God. The young goat is not to be cooked in its mother's milk.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:22 @Put on one side a tenth of all the increase of your seed, produced year by year.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:23 @And make a feast before the Lord your God, in the place which is to be marked out, where his name will be for ever, of the tenth part of your grain and your wine and your oil, and the first births of your herds and your flocks; so that you may have the fear of the Lord your God in your hearts at all times.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:26 @And with the money get whatever you have a desire for, oxen or sheep or wine or strong drink, whatever your soul's desire may be: and make a feast there before the Lord your God, and be glad, you and all your house;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:28 @At the end of every three years take a tenth part of all your increase for that year, and put it in store inside your walls:

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:1 @At the end of every seven years there is to be a general forgiveness of debt.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:2 @This is how it is to be done: every creditor is to give up his right to whatever he has let his neighbour have; he is not to make his neighbour, his countryman, give it back; because a general forgiveness has been ordered by the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:5 @If only you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and take care to keep all these orders which I give you today.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:10 @But it is right for you to give to him, without grief of heart: for because of this, the blessing of the Lord your God will be on all your work and on everything to which you put your hand.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:14 @But give him freely from your flock and from your grain and your wine: in the measure of the wealth which the Lord your God has given you, you are to give to him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:19 @All the first males to come to birth in your herd and your flock are to be holy to the Lord your God: the first birth of your ox is not to be used for work, the wool of your first lamb is not to be cut

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:20 @But year by year you and all your house are to take a meal of it before the Lord, in the place of his selection.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:3 @Take no leavened bread with it; for seven days let your food be unleavened bread, that is, the bread of sorrow; for you came out of the land of Egypt quickly: so the memory of that day, when you came out of the land of Egypt, will be with you all your life.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:4 @For seven days let no leaven be used through all your land; and nothing of the flesh which is put to death in the evening of the first day is to be kept through the night till morning.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:10 @Then keep the feast of weeks to the Lord your God, with an offering freely given to him from the wealth he has given you:

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:12 @And you will keep in mind that you were a servant in the land of Egypt: and you will take care to keep all these laws.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:13 @You are to keep the feast of tents for seven days after you have got in all your grain and made your wine:

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:15 @Keep the feast to the Lord your God for seven days, in the place marked out by the Lord: because the blessing of the Lord your God will be on all the produce of your land and all the work of your hands, and you will have nothing but joy.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:16 @Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord your God in the place named by him; at the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tents: and they are not to come before the Lord with nothing in their hands;

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:18 @You are to make judges and overseers in all your towns which the Lord your God gives you, for every tribe: and they are to be upright men, judging the people in righteousness.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:19 @You are not to be moved in your judging by a man's position, you are not to take rewards; for rewards make the eyes of the wise man blind, and the decisions of the upright false.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:21 @Let no holy tree of any sort be planted by the altar of the Lord your God which you will make

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:3 @By becoming a servant of other gods and worshipping them or the sun or the moon or all the stars of heaven, against my orders;

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:7 @The hands of the witnesses will be the first to put him to death, and after them the hands of all the people. So you are to put away the evil from among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:13 @And all the people, hearing of it, will be full of fear and put away their pride.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:17 @And he is not to have a great number of wives, for fear that his heart may be turned away; or great wealth of silver and gold.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:19 @And it is to be with him for his reading all the days of his life, so that he may be trained in the fear of the Lord his God to keep and do all the words of this teaching and these laws:

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:1 @The priests, the Levites, that is, all the tribe of Levi, will have no part or heritage with Israel: their food and their heritage will be the offerings of the Lord made by fire.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:5 @For he, and his sons after him for ever, have been marked out by the Lord your God from all your tribes, to do the work of priests in the name of the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:6 @And if a Levite, moved by a strong desire, comes from any town in all Israel where he is living to the place marked out by the Lord;

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:7 @Then he will do the work of a priest in the name of the Lord his God, with all his brothers the Levites who are there before the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:12 @For all who do such things are disgusting to the Lord; and because of these disgusting things the Lord your God is driving them out before you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:5 @For example, if a man goes into the woods with his neighbour for the purpose of cutting down trees, and when he takes his axe to give a blow to the tree, the head of the axe comes off, and falling on to his neighbour gives him a wound causing his death; then the man may go in flight to one of these towns and be safe:

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:8 @And if the Lord your God makes wide the limits of your land, as he said in his oath to your fathers, and gives you all the land which he undertook to give to your fathers;

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:9 @If you keep and do all these orders which I give you today, loving the Lord your God and walking ever in his ways; then let three more towns, in addition to these three, be marked out for you:

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:10 @So that in all your land, which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, no man may be wrongly put to death, for which you will be responsible

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:16 @If a false witness makes a statement against a man, saying that he has done wrong,

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:18 @And the judges will have the question looked into with care: and if the witness is seen to be false and to have made a false statement against his brother,

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:4 @For the Lord your God goes with you, fighting for you to give you salvation from those who are against you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:11 @And if it gives you back an answer of peace, opening its doors to you, then all the people in it may be put to forced work as your servants.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:12 @If however it will not make peace with you, but war, then let it be shut in on all sides:

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:13 @And when the Lord your God has given it into your hands, let every male in it be put to death without mercy.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:14 @But the women and the children and the cattle and everything in the town and all its wealth, you may take for yourselves: the wealth of your haters, which the Lord your God has given you, will be your food.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:15 @So you are to do to all the towns far away, which are not the towns of these nations.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:18 @So that you may not take them as your example and do all the disgusting things which they do in the worship of their gods, so sinning against the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:20 @Only those trees which you are certain are not used for food may be cut down and put to destruction: and you are to make walls of attack against the town till it is taken.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:4 @And they are to take the cow into a valley where there is flowing water, and which is not ploughed or planted, and there the neck of the cow is to be broken:

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:6 @And all the responsible men of that town which is nearest to the dead man, washing their hands over the cow whose neck was broken in the valley,

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:21 @Then he is to be stoned to death by all the men of the town: so you are to put away the evil from among you; and all Israel, hearing of it, will be full of fear.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:23 @Do not let his body be on the tree all night, but put it to rest in the earth the same day; for the man who undergoes hanging is cursed by God; so do not make unclean the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:4 @If you see your brother's ox or his ass falling down on the road, do not go by without giving him help in lifting it up again.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:8 @If you are building a house, make a railing for the roof, so that the blood of any man falling from it will not come on your house.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:9 @Do not have your vine-garden planted with two sorts of seed: or all of it may become a loss, the seed you have put in as well as the increase.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:19 @They will take from him a hundred shekels of silver, which are to be given to the father of the girl, because he has given an evil name to a virgin of Israel: she will go on being his wife, he may never put her away all his life.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:29 @Then the man will have to give the virgin's father fifty shekels of silver and make her his wife, because he has put shame on her; he may never put her away all his life.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:4 @Because they gave you no bread or water on your way, when you came out of Egypt: and they got Balaam, the son of Peor, from Pethor in Aram-naharaim to put curses on you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:5 @But the Lord your God would not give ear to Balaam, but let the curse be changed into a blessing to you, because of his love for you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:23:14 @For the Lord your God is walking among your tents, to keep you safe and to give up into your hands those who are fighting against you; then let your tents be holy, so that he may see no unclean thing among you, and be turned away from you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:1 @If a man takes a wife, and after they are married she is unpleasing to him because of some bad quality in her, let him give her a statement in writing and send her away from his house.

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:12 @If he is a poor man, do not keep his property all night;

bbe@Deuteronomy:24:19 @When you get in the grain from your field, if some of the grain has been dropped by chance in the field, do not go back and get it, but let it be for the man from a strange land, the child without a father, and the widow: so that the blessing of the Lord your God may be on all the work of your hands.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:6 @Then the first male child she has will take the rights of the brother who is dead, so that his name may not come to an end in Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:8 @Then the responsible men of the town will send for the man, and have talk with him: and if he still says, I will not take her;

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:13 @Do not have in your bag different weights, a great and a small;

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:14 @Or in your house different measures, a great and a small.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:16 @For all who do such things, and all whose ways are not upright, are disgusting to the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:17 @Keep in mind what Amalek did to you on your way from Egypt;

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:18 @How, meeting you on the way, he made an attack on you when you were tired and without strength, cutting off all the feeble ones at the end of your line; and the fear of God was not in him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:25:19 @So when the Lord your God has given you rest from all who are against you on every side, in the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage, see to it that the memory of Amalek is cut off from the earth; keep this in mind.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:4 @Then the priest will take the basket from your hand and put it down in front of the altar of the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:5 @And these are the words which you will say before the Lord your God: My father was a wandering Aramaean, and he went down with a small number of people into Egypt; there he became a great and strong nation:

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:12 @When you have taken out a tenth from the tenth of all your produce in the third year, which is the year when this has to be done, give it to the Levite, and the man from a strange land, and the child without a father, and the widow, so that they may have food in your towns and be full;

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:13 @And say before the Lord your God, I have taken all the holy things out of my house and have given them to the Levite, and the man from a strange land, and him who has no father, and the widow, as you have given me orders: I have kept in mind all your orders, in nothing have I gone against them:

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:14 @No part of these things has been used for food in a time of weeping, or put away when I was unclean, or given for the dead: I have given ear to the voice of the Lord my God, and have done all you have given me orders to do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:16 @Today the Lord your God gives you orders to keep all these laws and decisions: so then keep and do them with all your heart and all your soul.

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:18 @And the Lord has made it clear this day that you are a special people to him, as he gave you his word; and that you are to keep all his orders;

bbe@Deuteronomy:26:19 @And that he will make you high over all the nations he has made, in praise, in name, and in honour, and that you are to be a holy people to the Lord your God as he has said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:1 @Then Moses and the responsible men of Israel gave the people these orders: Keep all the orders which I have given you this day;

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:3 @And writing on them all the words of this law, after you have gone over; so that you may take the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:4 @And when you have gone over Jordan, you are to put up these stones, as I have said to you today, in Mount Ebal, and have them coated with building-paste.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:5 @There you are to make an altar to the Lord your God, of stones on which no iron instrument has been used.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:6 @You are to make the altar of the Lord your God of uncut stones; offering on it burned offerings to the Lord your God:

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:8 @And put on the stones all the words of this law, writing them very clearly.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:9 @Then Moses and the priests, the Levites, said to all Israel, Be quiet and give ear, O Israel; today you have become the people of the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:13 @And these are to be on Mount Ebal for the curse: Reuben, Gad, and Asher, and Zebulun, Dan, and Naphtali

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:14 @Then the Levites are to say in a loud voice to all the men of Israel,

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:15 @Cursed is the man who makes any image of wood or stone or metal, disgusting to the Lord, the work of man's hands, and puts it up in secret. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:16 @Cursed is he who does not give honour to his father or mother. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:17 @Cursed is he who takes his neighbour's landmark from its place. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:18 @Cursed is he by whom the blind are turned out of the way. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:19 @Cursed is he who gives a wrong decision in the cause of a man from a strange land, or of one without a father, or of a widow. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:20 @Cursed is he who has sex relations with his father's wife, for he has put shame on his father. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:21 @Cursed is he who has sex relations with any sort of beast. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:22 @Cursed is he who has sex relations with his sister, the daughter of his father or of his mother. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:23 @Cursed is he who has sex relations with his mother-in-law. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:24 @Cursed is he who takes his neighbour's life secretly. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:25 @Cursed is he who for a reward puts to death one who has done no wrong. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:27:26 @Cursed is he who does not take this law to heart to do it. And let all the people say, So be it.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:1 @Now if you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and keep with care all these orders which I have given you today, then the Lord your God will put you high over all the nations of the earth:

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:2 @And all these blessings will come on you and overtake you, if your ears are open to the voice of the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:9 @The Lord will keep you as a people holy to himself, as he has said to you in his oath, if you keep the orders of the Lord your God and go on walking in his ways.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:10 @And all the peoples of the earth will see that the name of the Lord is on you, and they will go in fear of you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:12 @Opening his store-house in heaven, the Lord will send rain on your land at the right time, blessing all the work of your hands: other nations will make use of your wealth, and you will have no need of theirs.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:15 @But if you do not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, and take care to do all his orders and his laws which I give you today, then all these curses will come on you and overtake you:

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:20 @The Lord will send on you cursing and trouble and punishment in everything to which you put your hand, till sudden destruction overtakes you; because of your evil ways in which you have been false to me.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:25 @The Lord will let you be overcome by your haters: you will go out against them one way, and you will go in flight before them seven ways: you will be the cause of fear among all the kingdoms of the earth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:26 @Your bodies will be meat for all the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth; there will be no one to send them away.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:29 @You will go feeling your way when the sun is high, like a blind man for whom all is dark, and nothing will go well for you: you will be crushed and made poor for ever, and you will have no saviour.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:32 @Your sons and your daughters will be given to another people, and your eyes will be wasted away with looking and weeping for them all the day: and you will have no power to do anything.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:33 @The fruit of your land and all the work of your hands will be food for a nation which is strange to you and to your fathers; you will only be crushed down and kept under for ever:

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:37 @And you will become a wonder and a name of shame among all the nations where the Lord will take you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:42 @All your trees and the fruit of your land will be the locust's.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:44 @He will let you have his wealth at interest, and will have no need of yours: he will be the head and you the tail.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:45 @And all these curses will come after you and overtake you, till your destruction is complete; because you did not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, or keep his laws and his orders which he gave you:

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:47 @Because you did not give honour to the Lord your God, worshipping him gladly, with joy in your hearts on account of all your wealth of good things;

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:48 @For this cause you will become servants to those whom the Lord your God will send against you, without food and drink and clothing, and in need of all things: and he will put a yoke of iron on your neck till he has put an end to you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:52 @Your towns will be shut in by his armies, till your high walls, in which you put your faith, have come down: his armies will be round your towns, through all your land which the Lord your God has given you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:55 @And will not give to any of them the flesh of his children which will be his food because he has no other; in the cruel grip of your haters on all your towns.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:57 @And to her baby newly come to birth, and to the children of her body; for having no other food, she will make a meal of them secretly, because of her bitter need and the cruel grip of your haters on all your towns.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:58 @If you will not take care to do all the words of this law, recorded in this book, honouring that name of glory and of fear, THE LORD YOUR GOD;

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:60 @He will send on you again all the diseases of Egypt, which were a cause of fear to you, and they will take you in their grip.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:61 @And all the diseases and the pains not recorded in the book of this law will the Lord send on you till your destruction is complete.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:62 @And you will become a very small band, though your numbers were like the stars of heaven; because you did not give ear to the voice of the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:64 @And the Lord will send you wandering among all peoples, from one end of the earth to the other: there you will be servants to other gods, of wood and stone, gods of which you and your fathers had no knowledge.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:2 @And Moses said in the hearing of all Israel, You have seen all the Lord did before your eyes in the land of Egypt to Pharaoh and to all his servants and all his land;

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:8 @And we took their land and gave it to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, for their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:10 @You have come here today, all of you, before the Lord your God; the heads of your tribes, the overseers, and those who are in authority over you, with all the men of Israel,

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:16 @(For you have in mind how we were living in the land of Egypt; and how we came through all the nations which were on your way;

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:20 @The Lord will have no mercy on him, but the wrath of the Lord will be burning against that man, and all the curses recorded in this book will be waiting for him, and the Lord will take away his name completely from the earth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:21 @He will be marked out by the Lord, from all the tribes of Israel, for an evil fate, in keeping with all the curses of the agreement recorded in this book of the law.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:23 @And that all the land is a salt and smoking waste, not planted or giving fruit or clothed with grass, but wasted like Sodom and Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboiim, on which the Lord sent destruction in the heat of his wrath:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:24 @Truly all the nations will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land? what is the reason for this great and burning wrath?

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:27 @And so the wrath of the Lord was moved against this land, to send on it all the curse recorded in this book:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:29 @The secret things are the Lord our God's: but the things which have been made clear are ours and our children's for ever, so that we may do all the words of this law.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:1 @Now when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse which I have put before you, if the thought of them comes back to your minds, when you are living among the nations where the Lord your God has sent you,

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:2 @And your hearts are turned again to the Lord your God, and you give ear to his word which I give you today, you and your children, with all your heart and with all your soul:

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:3 @Then the Lord will have pity on you, changing your fate, and taking you back again from among all the nations where you have been forced to go.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:6 @And the Lord your God will give to you and to your seed a circumcision of the heart, so that, loving him with all your heart and all your soul, you may have life.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:7 @And the Lord your God will put all these curses on those who are against you, and on your haters who put a cruel yoke on you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:8 @And you will again give ear to the voice of the Lord, and do all his orders which I have given you today.

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:9 @And the Lord your God will make you fertile in all good things, blessing the work of your hands, and the fruit of your body, and the fruit of your cattle, and the fruit of your land: for the Lord will have joy in you, as he had in your fathers:

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:10 @If you give ear to the voice of the Lord your God, keeping his orders and his laws which are recorded in this book of the law, and turning to the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:1 @So Moses said all these things to Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:3 @The Lord your God, he will go over before you; he will send destruction on all those nations, and you will take their land as your heritage: and Joshua will go over at your head as the Lord has said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:7 @Then Moses sent for Joshua, and before the eyes of all Israel said to him, Be strong and take heart: for you are to go with this people into the land which the Lord, by his oath to their fathers, has given them; by your help they will take it for their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:9 @Then Moses put all this law in writing, and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who take up the ark of the Lord's agreement, and to all the responsible men of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:11 @When all Israel has come before the Lord your God in the place named by him, let a reading be given of this law in the hearing of all Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:12 @Make all the people come together, men and women and children, and anyone from another country who is with you, so that hearing they may become wise in the fear of the Lord your God, and take care to do all the words of this law;

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:16 @And the Lord said to Moses, Now you are going to rest with your fathers; and this people will be false to me, uniting themselves to the strange gods of the land where they are going; they will be turned away from me and will not keep the agreement I have made with them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:18 @Truly, my face will be turned away from them in that day, because of all the evil they have done in going after other gods.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:24 @Now after writing all the words of this law in a book till the record of them was complete,

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:28 @Get together before me all those who are in authority in your tribes, and your overseers, so that I may say these things in their hearing, and make heaven and earth my witnesses against them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:30 @Then in the hearing of all the meeting of Israel, Moses said the words of this song, to the end.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:4 @He is the Rock, complete is his work; for all his ways are righteousness: a God without evil who keeps faith, true and upright is he.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:5 @They have become false, they are not his children, the mark of sin is on them; they are an evil and hard-hearted generation.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:9 @For the Lord's wealth is his people; Jacob is the land of his heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:15 @But Jeshurun became fat and would not be controlled: you have become fat, you are thick and full of food: then he was untrue to the God who made him, giving no honour to the Rock of his salvation.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:21 @They have given my honour to that which is not God, moving me to wrath with their false worship: I will give their honour to those who are not a people, moving them to wrath by a foolish nation,

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:26 @I said I would send them wandering far away, I would make all memory of them go from the minds of men:

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:27 @But for the fear that their haters, uplifted in their pride, might say, Our hand is strong, the Lord has not done all this.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:35 @Punishment is mine and reward, at the time of the slipping of their feet: for the day of their downfall is near, sudden will be their fate.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:38 @Who took the fat of their offerings, and the wine of their drink offering? Let them now come to your help, let them be your salvation.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:44 @So Moses said all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he and Hoshea, the son of Nun.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:45 @And after saying all this to the people,

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:47 @And this is no small thing for you, but it is your life, and through this you may make your days long in the land which you are going over Jordan to take for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:3 @All his holy ones are at his hand; they go at his feet; they are lifted up on his wings.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:6 @Let life not death be Reuben's, let not the number of his men be small.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:10 @They will be the teachers of your decisions to Jacob and of your law to Israel: the burning of perfumes before you will be their right, and the ordering of burned offerings on your altar.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:11 @Let your blessing, O Lord, be on his substance, may the work of his hands be pleasing to you: may those who take up arms against him and all who have hate for him, be wounded through the heart, never to be lifted up again.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:12 @And of Benjamin he said, Benjamin is the loved one of the Lord, he will be kept safe at all times; he will be covered by the Most High, resting between his arms.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:15 @And the chief things of the oldest mountains, and the good things of the eternal hills,

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:16 @The good things of the earth and all its wealth, the good pleasure of him who was seen in the burning tree: may they come on the head of Joseph, on the head of him who was prince among his brothers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:17 @He is a young ox, glory is his; his horns are the horns of the mountain ox, with which all peoples will be wounded, even to the ends of the earth: they are the ten thousands of Ephraim and the thousands of Manasseh.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:19 @They will send out the word for the people to come to the mountain, taking there the offerings of righteousness: for the store of the seas will be theirs, and the secret wealth of the sand.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:23 @And of Naphtali he said, O Naphtali, made glad with grace and full of the blessing of the Lord: the sea and its fishes will be his.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:27 @The God of your fathers is your safe resting-place, and under you are his eternal arms: driving out the forces of your haters from before you, he said, Let destruction overtake them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:29 @Happy are you, O Israel: who is like you, a people whose saviour is the Lord, whose help is your cover, whose sword is your strength! All those who are against you will put themselves under your rule, and your feet will be planted on their high places.

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:1 @And Moses went up from the table-lands of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah which is facing Jericho. And the Lord let him see all the land, the land of Gilead as far as Dan;

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:2 @And all Naphtali and the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, and all the land of Judah, as far as the Great Sea of the west;

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:3 @And the South, and the circle of the valley of Jericho, the town of palm-trees, as far as Zoar.

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:6 @And the Lord put him to rest in the valley in the land of Moab opposite Beth-peor: but no man has knowledge of his resting-place to this day.

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:7 @And Moses at his death was a hundred and twenty years old: his eye had not become clouded, or his natural force become feeble.

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:11 @In all the signs and wonders which the Lord sent him to do in the land of Egypt, to Pharaoh and to all his servants and all his land;

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:12 @And in all the acts of power and fear which Moses did before the eyes of all Israel.

bbe@Joshua:1:2 @Moses my servant is dead; so now get up! Go over Jordan, you and all this people, into the land which I am giving to them, to the children of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:1:4 @From the waste land and this mountain Lebanon, as far as the great river, the river Euphrates, and all the land of the Hittites to the Great Sea, in the west, will be your country.

bbe@Joshua:1:5 @While you are living, all will give way before you: as I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will not take away my help from you or give you up.

bbe@Joshua:1:7 @Only take heart and be very strong; take care to do all the law which Moses my servant gave you, not turning from it to the right hand or to the left, so that you may do well in all your undertakings.

bbe@Joshua:1:8 @Let this book of the law be ever on your lips and in your thoughts day and night, so that you may keep with care everything in it; then a blessing will be on all your way, and you will do well.

bbe@Joshua:1:12 @And to the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said,

bbe@Joshua:1:17 @As we gave attention to Moses in all things, so we will give attention to you: and may the Lord your God be with you as he was with Moses.

bbe@Joshua:1:18 @Whoever goes against your orders, and does not give attention to all your words, will be put to death: only take heart and be strong.

bbe@Joshua:2:3 @Then the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Send out the men who have come to you and are in your house; for they have come with the purpose of searching out all the land.

bbe@Joshua:2:13 @And that you will keep safe my father and mother and my brothers and sisters and all they have, so that death may not come on us?

bbe@Joshua:2:15 @Then she let them down from the window by a cord, for the house where she was living was on the town wall.

bbe@Joshua:2:18 @If, when we come into the land, you put this cord of bright red thread in the window from which you let us down; and get your father and mother and your brothers and all your family into the house;

bbe@Joshua:2:24 @And they said to Joshua, Truly, the Lord has given all the land into our hands; and all the people of the land have become like water because of us.

bbe@Joshua:3:1 @Then Joshua got up early in the morning, and, moving on from Shittim, he and all the children of Israel came to Jordan and were there for the night before going over.

bbe@Joshua:3:7 @And the Lord said to Joshua, From now on I will give you glory in the eyes of all Israel, so that they may see that, as I was with Moses, so I will be with you.

bbe@Joshua:3:11 @See, the ark of the agreement of the Lord of all the earth is going over before you into Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:3:13 @And when the feet of the priests who take up the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, come to rest in the waters of Jordan, the waters of Jordan will be cut off, all the waters flowing down from higher up, and will come together in a mass.

bbe@Joshua:3:15 @And when those who took up the ark came to Jordan, and the feet of the priests who took up the ark were touching the edge of the water (for the waters of Jordan are overflowing all through the time of the grain-cutting),

bbe@Joshua:3:16 @Then the waters flowing down from higher up were stopped and came together in a mass a long way back at Adam, a town near Zarethan; and the waters flowing down to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were cut off: and the people went across opposite Jericho.

bbe@Joshua:3:17 @And the priests who took up the ark of the agreement of the Lord kept their places, with their feet on dry land in the middle of Jordan, while all Israel went over on dry land, till all the nation had gone over Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:4:1 @Now when all the nation had come to the other side of Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua,

bbe@Joshua:4:10 @For the priests who took up the ark kept there in the middle of Jordan till all the orders given to Joshua by Moses from the Lord had been done: then the people went over quickly

bbe@Joshua:4:11 @And when all the people had come to the other side, the ark of the Lord went over, and the priests, before the eyes of the people.

bbe@Joshua:4:12 @And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh went over armed before the children of Israel as Moses had said to them:

bbe@Joshua:4:14 @That day the Lord made Joshua great in the eyes of all Israel; and all the days of his life they went in fear of him, as they had gone in fear of Moses.

bbe@Joshua:4:19 @So on the tenth day of the first month the people came up out of Jordan, and put up their tents in Gilgal, on the east side of Jericho.

bbe@Joshua:4:20 @And the twelve stones which they took out of Jordan, Joshua put up in Gilgal.

bbe@Joshua:4:24 @So that all the peoples of the earth may see that the hand of the Lord is strong; and that they may go in fear of the Lord your God for ever.

bbe@Joshua:5:1 @Now when the news came to all the kings of the Amorites on the west side of Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites living by the sea, how the Lord had made the waters of Jordan dry before the children of Israel, till they had gone across, their hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:5:3 @So Joshua made stone knives and gave the children of Israel circumcision at Gibeath-ha-araloth.

bbe@Joshua:5:4 @And this is the reason why Joshua did so: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the fighting-men, had been overtaken by death in the waste land on the way, after they came out of Egypt.

bbe@Joshua:5:5 @All the people who came out had undergone circumcision; but all the people whose birth had taken place in the waste land on their journey from Egypt had not.

bbe@Joshua:5:6 @For the children of Israel were wandering in the waste land for forty years, till all the nation, that is, all the fighting-men, who had come out of Egypt, were dead, because they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord: to whom the Lord said, with an oath, that he would not let them see the land which the Lord had given his word to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

bbe@Joshua:5:8 @So when all the nation had undergone circumcision, they kept in their tents till they were well again.

bbe@Joshua:5:9 @And the Lord said to Joshua, Today the shame of Egypt has been rolled away from you. So that place was named Gilgal, to this day.

bbe@Joshua:5:10 @So the children of Israel put up their tents in Gilgal; and they kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the month, in the evening, in the lowlands of Jericho.

bbe@Joshua:5:14 @And he said, No; but I have come as captain of the armies of the Lord. Then Joshua, falling down with his face to the earth in worship, said, What has my lord to say to his servant?

bbe@Joshua:6:1 @(Now Jericho was all shut up because of the children of Israel: there was no going out or coming in.)

bbe@Joshua:6:2 @And the Lord said to Joshua, See, I have given into your hands Jericho with its king and all its men of war.

bbe@Joshua:6:3 @Now let all your fighting-men make a circle round the town, going all round it once. Do this for six days.

bbe@Joshua:6:5 @And at the sound of a long note on the horns, let all the people give a loud cry; and the wall of the town will come down flat, and all the people are to go straight forward.

bbe@Joshua:6:11 @So he made the ark of the Lord go all round the town once: then they went back to the tents for the night.

bbe@Joshua:6:14 @The second day they went all round the town once, and then went back to their tents: and so they did for six days

bbe@Joshua:6:17 @And the town will be put to the curse, and everything in it will be given to the Lord: only Rahab, the loose woman, and all who are in the house with her, will be kept safe, because she kept secret the men we sent.

bbe@Joshua:6:19 @But all the silver and gold and the vessels of brass and iron are holy to the Lord: they are to come into the store-house of the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:6:20 @So the people gave a loud cry, and the horns were sounded; and on hearing the horns the people gave a loud cry, and the wall came down flat, so that the people went up into the town, every man going straight before him, and they took the town.

bbe@Joshua:6:22 @Then Joshua said to the two men who had been sent to make a search through the land, Go into the house of the loose woman, and get her out, and all who are with her, as you gave her your oath.

bbe@Joshua:6:23 @So the searchers went in and got out Rahab and her father and mother and her brothers and all she had, and they got out all her family; and they took them outside the tents of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:6:25 @But Joshua kept Rahab, the loose woman, and her father's family and all she had, from death, and so she got a living-place among the children of Israel to this day; because she kept safe the men whom Joshua had sent to make a search through the land.

bbe@Joshua:6:27 @So the Lord was with Joshua; and news of him went through all the land.

bbe@Joshua:7:3 @Then they came back to Joshua and said to him, Do not send all the people up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and make an attack on Ai; there is no need for all the people to be tired with the journey there, for it is only a small town.

bbe@Joshua:7:6 @Then Joshua, in great grief, went down on the earth before the ark of the Lord till the evening, and all the chiefs of Israel with him, and they put dust on their heads.

bbe@Joshua:7:9 @For when the news comes to the Canaanites and all the people of the land, they will come up, shutting us in and cutting off our name from the earth: and what will you do for the honour of your great name?

bbe@Joshua:7:11 @Israel has done wrong, sinning against the agreement which I made with them: they have even taken of the cursed thing; acting falsely like thieves they have put it among their goods.

bbe@Joshua:7:24 @Then Joshua and all Israel took Achan, the son of Zerah, and the silver and the robe and the mass of gold, and his sons and his daughters and his oxen and his asses and his sheep and his tent and everything he had; and they took them up into the valley of Achor.

bbe@Joshua:7:25 @And Joshua said, Why have you been a cause of trouble to us? Today the Lord will send trouble on you. And all Israel took part in stoning him; they had him stoned to death and then burned with fire.

bbe@Joshua:7:26 @And over him they put a great mass of stones, which is there to this day; then the heat of the Lord's wrath was turned away. So that place was named, The Valley of Achor, to this day.

bbe@Joshua:8:1 @Then the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear and do not be troubled: take with you all the fighting-men and go up against Ai: for I have given into your hands the king of Ai and his people and his town and his land:

bbe@Joshua:8:4 @And he gave them their orders, saying, Go and take up your position secretly at the back of the town: do not go very far away, and let all of you be ready:

bbe@Joshua:8:5 @And I and all the people with me will come near the town, and when they come out against us as they did before, we will go in flight from them;

bbe@Joshua:8:11 @And all the fighting-men who were with him went up and came near the town, and took up a position on the north side of Ai facing the town, with a valley between him and the town.

bbe@Joshua:8:13 @So all the people were in their places, the army on the north side of the town and the secret force on the west; and that night Joshua went down into the valley.

bbe@Joshua:8:14 @Now when the king of Ai saw it, he got up quickly and went out to war against Israel, he and all his people, to the slope going down to the valley; but he had no idea that a secret force was waiting at the back of the town.

bbe@Joshua:8:15 @Then Joshua and all Israel, acting as if they were overcome before them, went in flight by way of the waste land.

bbe@Joshua:8:16 @And all the people in Ai came together to go after them; and they went after Joshua, moving away from the town.

bbe@Joshua:8:21 @And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the town had been taken by the surprise attack, and that the smoke of the town had gone up, turning round they overcame the men of Ai.

bbe@Joshua:8:24 @Then, after the destruction of all the people of Ai in the field and in the waste land where they went after them, and when all the people had been put to death without mercy, all Israel went back to Ai, and put to death all who were in it without mercy.

bbe@Joshua:8:25 @On that day twelve thousand were put to death, men and women, all the people of Ai.

bbe@Joshua:8:30 @Then Joshua put up an altar to the Lord, the God of Israel, in Mount Ebal,

bbe@Joshua:8:31 @In the way ordered by Moses, the servant of the Lord, as it is recorded in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones, untouched by any iron instrument: and on it they made burned offerings and peace-offerings to the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:8:33 @And all Israel, those who were Israelites by birth, as well as the men from other lands living with them, and their responsible men and their overseers and judges, took their places round the ark, in front of the priests, the Levites, whose work it was to take up the ark of the Lord's agreement; half of them were stationed in front of Mount Gerizim and half in front of Mount Ebal, in agreement with the orders for the blessing of the children of Israel which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had given.

bbe@Joshua:8:34 @And after, he gave them all the words of the law, the blessing and the curse, as it is all recorded in the book of the law;

bbe@Joshua:8:35 @Reading to all the meeting of Israel, with the women and the children and the men from other lands who were living among them, every word of the orders which Moses had given.

bbe@Joshua:9:1 @Now on hearing the news of these things, all the kings on the west side of Jordan, in the hill-country and the lowlands and by the Great Sea in front of Lebanon, the Hittites and the Amorites, the Canaanites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites,

bbe@Joshua:9:5 @And put old stitched-up shoes on their feet, and old clothing on their backs; and all the food they had with them was dry and broken up.

bbe@Joshua:9:6 @And they came to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, We have come from a far country: so now make an agreement with us.

bbe@Joshua:9:9 @And they said to him, Your servants have come from a very far country, because of the name of the Lord your God: for the story of his great name, and of all he did in Egypt has come to our ears,

bbe@Joshua:9:11 @So the responsible men and all the people of our country said to us, Take food with you for the journey and go to them, and say to them, We are your servants: so now make an agreement with us.

bbe@Joshua:9:18 @And the children of Israel did not put them to death, because the chiefs of the people had taken an oath to them by the Lord, the God of Israel. And all the people made an outcry against the chiefs.

bbe@Joshua:9:19 @But all the chiefs said to the people, We have taken an oath to them by the Lord, the God of Israel, and so we may not put our hands on them.

bbe@Joshua:9:21 @Keep them living, and let them be servants, cutting wood and getting water for all the people. And all the people did as the chiefs had said to them.

bbe@Joshua:9:22 @Then Joshua sent for them, and said to them, Why have you been false to us, saying, We are very far from you, when you are living among us?

bbe@Joshua:9:24 @And, answering Joshua, they said, Because it came to the ears of your servants that the Lord your God had given orders to his servant Moses to give you all this land, and to send destruction on all the people living in it, because of you; so, fearing greatly for our lives because of you, we have done this.

bbe@Joshua:9:27 @And that day Joshua made them servants, cutting wood and getting water for the people and for the altar of the Lord, in the place marked out by him, to this day.

bbe@Joshua:10:1 @Now when it came to the ears of Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, that Joshua had taken Ai, and had given it up to the curse (for as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king); and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living among them;

bbe@Joshua:10:2 @He was in great fear, because Gibeon was a great town, like one of the king's towns, greater than Ai, and all the men in it were men of war.

bbe@Joshua:10:3 @So Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, sent to Hoham, king of Hebron, and to Piram, king of Jarmuth, and to Japhia, king of Lachish, and to Debir, king of Eglon, saying,

bbe@Joshua:10:5 @So 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, were banded together, and went up with all their armies and took up their position before Gibeon and made war against it.

bbe@Joshua:10:6 @And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, saying, Be not slow to send help to your servants; come up quickly to our support and keep us safe: for all the kings of the Amorites from the hill-country have come together against us.

bbe@Joshua:10:7 @So Joshua went up from Gilgal with all his army and all his men of war.

bbe@Joshua:10:8 @And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them, for I have given them into your hands; they will all give way before you.

bbe@Joshua:10:9 @So Joshua, having come up from Gilgal all night, made a sudden attack on them

bbe@Joshua:10:11 @And in their flight before Israel, on the way down from Beth-horon, the Lord sent down great stones from heaven on them all the way to Azekah, causing their death: those whose death was caused by the stones were more than those whom the children of Israel put to death with the sword.

bbe@Joshua:10:12 @It was on the day when the Lord gave up the Amorites into the hands of the children of Israel that Joshua said to the Lord, before the eyes of Israel, Sun, be at rest over Gibeon; and you, O moon, in the valley of Aijalon.

bbe@Joshua:10:15 @And Joshua, with all Israel, went back to the tent-circle at Gilgal.

bbe@Joshua:10:20 @Now when Joshua and the children of Israel had come to the end of their war of complete destruction, and had put to death all but a small band who had got safely into the walled towns,

bbe@Joshua:10:21 @All the people went back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Makkedah in peace: and no one said a word against the children of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:10:23 @And they did so, and made those five kings come out of the hole to him, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

bbe@Joshua:10:24 @And when they had made those kings come out to Joshua, Joshua sent for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near and put your feet on the necks of these kings. So they came near and put their feet on their necks.

bbe@Joshua:10:25 @And Joshua said to them, Have no fear and do not be troubled; be strong and take heart: for so will the Lord do to all against whom you make war.

bbe@Joshua:10:29 @Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Makkedah and came to Libnah, and made an attack on it;

bbe@Joshua:10:31 @Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Libnah to Lachish, and took up their position against it and made an attack on it,

bbe@Joshua:10:33 @Then Horam, king of Gezer, came up to the help of Lachish; and Joshua overcame him and his people, putting all of them to death.

bbe@Joshua:10:34 @And Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Lachish to Eglon: and they took up their position against it and made an attack on it;

bbe@Joshua:10:36 @And Joshua and all Israel with him went up from Eglon to Hebron, and made an attack on it;

bbe@Joshua:10:37 @And took it, overcoming it and putting it and its king and its towns and every person in it to the sword: as he had done to Eglon, he put them all to death, and gave it up to the curse with every person in it.

bbe@Joshua:10:38 @And Joshua and all Israel with him went on to make an attack on Debir;

bbe@Joshua:10:39 @And he took it, with its king and all its towns: and he put them to the sword, giving every person in it to the curse; all were put to death: as he had done to Hebron, so he did to Debir and its king.

bbe@Joshua:10:40 @So Joshua overcame all the land, the hill-country and the South and the lowland and the mountain slopes, and all their kings; all were put to death: and every living thing he gave up to the curse, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had given him orders.

bbe@Joshua:10:41 @Joshua overcame them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and all the land of Goshen as far as Gibeon.

bbe@Joshua:10:42 @And all these kings and their land Joshua took at the same time, because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for Israel.

bbe@Joshua:10:43 @Then Joshua and all Israel with him went back to their tents at Gilgal.

bbe@Joshua:11:4 @And they went out, they and all their armies with them, a great people, in number like the sand on the seaside, with horses and war-carriages in great number.

bbe@Joshua:11:5 @And all these kings came together, and put their forces in position at the waters of Merom, to make war on Israel.

bbe@Joshua:11:6 @And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them: for tomorrow at this time I will give them all up dead before Israel; you are to have the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire.

bbe@Joshua:11:7 @So Joshua and all the men of war with him came against them suddenly at the waters of Merom, and made an attack on them.

bbe@Joshua:11:8 @And the Lord gave them up into the hands of Israel, and they overcame them driving them back to great Zidon and to Misrephoth-maim and into the valley of Mizpeh to the east; and they put them all to death, no man got away safely.

bbe@Joshua:11:10 @At that time, Joshua went on to take Hazor and put its king to the sword: for in earlier times Hazor was the chief of all those kingdoms.

bbe@Joshua:11:12 @And all the towns of these kings, and all the kings, Joshua took, and put them to the sword: he gave them up to the curse, as Moses, the servant of the Lord, had said.

bbe@Joshua:11:14 @And all the goods taken from these towns, and their cattle, the children of Israel kept for themselves; but every man they put to death without mercy, till their destruction was complete, and there was no one living.

bbe@Joshua:11:16 @So Joshua took all that land, the hill-country and all the South, and all the land of Goshen, and the lowland and the Arabah, the hill-country of Israel and its lowland;

bbe@Joshua:11:17 @From Mount Halak, which goes up to Seir, as far as Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon: and all their kings he overcame and put to death.

bbe@Joshua:11:18 @For a long time Joshua made war on all those kings.

bbe@Joshua:11:19 @Not one town made peace with the children of Israel, but only the Hivites of Gibeon: they took them all in war.

bbe@Joshua:11:21 @And Joshua came at that time and put an end to the Anakim in the hill-country, in Hebron, in Debir, in Anab, and in all the hill-country of Judah and Israel: Joshua gave them and their towns to the curse.

bbe@Joshua:11:23 @So Joshua took all the land, as the Lord had said to Moses; and Joshua gave it to the children of Israel as their heritage, making division of it among them by their tribes. And the land had rest from war.

bbe@Joshua:12:1 @Now these are the kings of the land whom the children of Israel overcame, taking as their heritage their land on the east side of Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon, and all the Arabah to the east:

bbe@Joshua:12:2 @Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was living in Heshbon, ruling from Aroer, which is on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the town in the middle of the valley, and half Gilead, as far as the river Jabbok, the limits of the children of Ammon;

bbe@Joshua:12:3 @And the Arabah to the sea of Chinneroth, to the east, and to the sea of the Arabah, that is the Salt Sea, to the east, the way to Beth-jeshimoth; and on the south, under the slopes of Pisgah:

bbe@Joshua:12:5 @Ruling in the mountain of Hermon, and in Salecah, and in all Bashan, as far as the limits of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and half Gilead, to the land of Sihon, king of Heshbon.

bbe@Joshua:12:6 @Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the children of Israel overcame them; and Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave their land for a heritage to the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

bbe@Joshua:12:7 @And these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the children of Israel overcame on the west side of Jordan, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon to Mount Halak, which goes up to Seir; and Joshua gave the land to the tribes of Israel for a heritage, in keeping with their divisions;

bbe@Joshua:12:10 @The king of Jerusalem, one; the king of Hebron, one;

bbe@Joshua:12:23 @The king of Dor on the hill of Dor, one; the king of Goiim in Gilgal, one;

bbe@Joshua:12:24 @The king of Tirzah, one; all the kings together were thirty-one.

bbe@Joshua:13:2 @This is the land which is still to be taken: all the country of the Philistines, and all the Geshurites;

bbe@Joshua:13:4 @On the south: all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah which is the property of the Zidonians, to Aphek, as far as the limit of the Amorites:

bbe@Joshua:13:5 @And the land of the Gebalites, and all Lebanon, looking east, from Baal-gad under Mount Hermon as far as Hamath:

bbe@Joshua:13:6 @All the people of the hill-country from Lebanon to Misrephoth-maim, all the Zidonians; them will I send out from before the children of Israel: only make division of it to Israel for a heritage, as I have given you orders to do.

bbe@Joshua:13:7 @So now make division of this land for a heritage to the nine tribes, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

bbe@Joshua:13:9 @From Aroer, on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the town in the middle of the valley, and all the table-land from Medeba to Dibon;

bbe@Joshua:13:10 @And all the towns of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, to the limits of the children of Ammon;

bbe@Joshua:13:11 @And Gilead, and the land of the Geshurites and the Maacathites, and all Mount Hermon, and all Bashan to Salecah;

bbe@Joshua:13:12 @All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who was ruling in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (he was one of the last of the Rephaim); these did Moses overcome, driving them out of their country.

bbe@Joshua:13:16 @Their limit was from Aroer, on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the town in the middle of the valley, and all the table-land by Medeba;

bbe@Joshua:13:17 @Heshbon and all her towns in the table-land; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon;

bbe@Joshua:13:19 @And Kiriathaim, and Sibmah, and Zereth-shahar in the mountain of the valley;

bbe@Joshua:13:21 @And all the towns of the table-land, and all the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, whom Moses overcame, together with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the chiefs of Sihon, who were living in the land.

bbe@Joshua:13:22 @And Balaam, the son of Beor, the prophet, the children of Israel put to death with the sword.

bbe@Joshua:13:23 @And the limit of the children of Reuben was the edge of Jordan. This was the heritage of the children of Reuben by their families, with its towns and its unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:13:25 @And their limit was Jazer, and all the towns of Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, to Aroer before Rabbah;

bbe@Joshua:13:27 @And in the valley, Beth-haram, and Beth-nimrah, and Succoth, and Zaphon, the rest of the kingdom of Sihon, king of Heshbon, having Jordan for its limit, to the end of the sea of Chinnereth on the east side of Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:13:28 @This is the heritage of the children of Gad by their families, with its towns and its unwalled places

bbe@Joshua:13:29 @And Moses gave their heritage to the half-tribe of Manasseh by their families.

bbe@Joshua:13:30 @And their limit was from Mahanaim, all Bashan, all the kingdom of Og, king of Bashan, and all Havvoth-Jair, in Bashan, sixty towns;

bbe@Joshua:13:31 @And half Gilead, and Ashtaroth, and Edrei, towns of the kingdom of Og in Bashan, were for the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, for half of the children of Machir by their families.

bbe@Joshua:14:2 @Their heritage by the Lord's decision, as he gave orders by Moses, for the nine tribes and the half-tribe.

bbe@Joshua:14:3 @For Moses had given their heritage to the two tribes and the half-tribe on the other side of Jordan, but to the Levites he gave no heritage among them.

bbe@Joshua:14:6 @Then the children of Judah went to Joshua in Gilgal; and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, You have knowledge of what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, about me and about you in Kadesh-barnea.

bbe@Joshua:14:8 @My brothers, however, who went up with me, made the heart of the people like water: but I was true to the Lord with all my heart.

bbe@Joshua:14:9 @And on that day Moses took an oath, saying, Truly the land where your feet have been placed will become a heritage for you and your children for ever, because you have been true to the Lord your God with all your heart.

bbe@Joshua:14:11 @And still, I am as strong today as I was when Moses sent me out: as my strength was then, so is it now, for war and for all the business of life.

bbe@Joshua:14:12 @So now, give me this hill-country named by the Lord at that time; for you had an account of it then, how the Anakim were there, and great walled towns: it may be that the Lord will be with me, and I will be able to take their land, as the Lord said.

bbe@Joshua:14:13 @And Joshua gave him his blessing; and he gave Hebron to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, for his heritage.

bbe@Joshua:14:14 @So Hebron became the heritage of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, to this day, because with all his heart he was true to the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:15:2 @Their south limit was from the farthest part of the Salt Sea, from the inlet looking to the south:

bbe@Joshua:15:5 @And the east limit is the Salt Sea as far as the end of Jordan. And the limit of the north part of the land is from the inlet of the sea at the end of Jordan:

bbe@Joshua:15:7 @Then the line goes up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so to the north, in the direction of Gilgal, which is opposite the slope up to Adummim, on the south side of the river: and the line goes on to the waters of En-shemesh, ending at En-rogel:

bbe@Joshua:15:8 @Then the line goes up by the valley of the son of Hinnom to the south side of the Jebusite (which is Jerusalem): then up to the top of the mountain in front of the valley of Hinnom to the west, which is at the farthest point of the valley of Rephaim on the north:

bbe@Joshua:15:9 @And the limit is marked out from the top of the mountain to the fountain of the waters of Nephtoah, and out to the towns of Mount Ephron, as far as Baalah (which is Kiriath-jearim):

bbe@Joshua:15:10 @Then turning west, the line goes from Baalah to Mount Seir, and on to the side of Mount Jearim (which is Chesalon) on the north, then down to Beth-shemesh, and on past Timnah:

bbe@Joshua:15:11 @And out to the side of Ekron to the north: then it is marked out to Shikkeron and on to Mount Baalah, ending at Jabneel; the end of the line is at the sea.

bbe@Joshua:15:13 @And to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he gave a part among the children of Judah, as the Lord had given orders to Joshua, that is, Kiriath-arba, named after Arba, the father of Anak which is Hebron.

bbe@Joshua:15:14 @And the three sons of Anak, Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai, the children of Anak, were forced out from there by Caleb.

bbe@Joshua:15:16 @And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.

bbe@Joshua:15:17 @And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's brother, took it: so he gave him his daughter Achsah for his wife.

bbe@Joshua:15:18 @Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?

bbe@Joshua:15:24 @Ziph, and Telem, and Bealoth;

bbe@Joshua:15:37 @Zenan, and Hadashah, and Migdal-gad;

bbe@Joshua:15:62 @And Nibshan, and the Town of Salt, and En-gedi; six towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:15:63 @And as for the Jebusites living in Jerusalem, the children of Judah were unable to make them go out; but the Jebusites are living with the children of Judah at Jerusalem, to this day.

bbe@Joshua:17:2 @And as for the rest of the children of Manasseh, their heritage was given to them by families; for the children of Abiezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the children of Asriel, and for the children of Shechem, and for the children of Hepher, and for the children of Shemida: these were the male children of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, by their families.

bbe@Joshua:17:16 @And the children of Joseph said, The hill-country is not enough for us: and all the Canaanites living in the valley have iron war-carriages, those in Beth-shean and its towns as well as those in the valley of Jezreel.

bbe@Joshua:18:1 @And all the meeting of the children of Israel came together at Shiloh and put up the Tent of meeting there: and the land was crushed before them.

bbe@Joshua:18:7 @For the Levites have no part among you; to be the Lord's priests is their heritage; and Gad and Reuben and the half-tribe of Manasseh have had their heritage on the east side of Jordan, given to them by Moses, the servant of the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:18:14 @And the limit is marked as coming round to the south on the west side from the mountain which is south of Beth-horon, and ending at Kiriath-baal (which is Kiriath-jearim), a town of the children of Judah: this is the west part.

bbe@Joshua:20:7 @So they made selection of Kedesh in Galilee in the hill-country of Naphtali, and Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim, and Kiriath-arba (which is Hebron) in the hill-country of Judah.

bbe@Joshua:20:9 @These were the towns marked out for all the children of Israel and for the man from a strange country living among them, so that anyone causing the death of another in error, might go in flight there, and not be put to death by him who has the right of punishment for blood till he had come before the meeting of the people.

bbe@Joshua:21:5 @The rest of the children of Kohath by their families were given ten towns from the tribes of Ephraim and Dan and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

bbe@Joshua:21:6 @The children of Gershon by their families were given thirteen towns from the tribes of Issachar and Asher and Naphtali and the half-tribe of Manasseh which was in Bashan.

bbe@Joshua:21:8 @All these towns with their grass-lands the children of Israel gave by the decision of the Lord to the Levites, as the Lord had given orders by Moses.

bbe@Joshua:21:12 @But the open country round the town, and its unwalled places, they gave to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, as his property.

bbe@Joshua:21:27 @And to the children of Gershon, of the families of the Levites, they gave from the half-tribe of Manasseh, Golan in Bashan with its grass-lands, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Ashtaroth with its grass-lands, two towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:30 @And from the tribe of Asher, Mishal and Abdon, with their grass-lands:

bbe@Joshua:21:32 @And from the tribe of Naphtali, Kedesh in Galilee with its grass-lands, the town where the taker of life might be safe, and Hammoth-dor and Kartan with their grass-lands, three towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:33 @All the towns of the Gershonites with their families were thirteen with their grass-lands.

bbe@Joshua:21:35 @Dimnah and Nahalal with their grass-lands, four towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:40 @All these towns were given to the children of Merari by their families, that is, the rest of the families of the Levites; and their heritage was twelve towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:41 @All the towns of the Levites, among the heritage of the children of Israel, were forty-eight towns with their grass-lands.

bbe@Joshua:21:43 @So the Lord gave to Israel all the land which he gave by oath to their fathers; so it became their heritage and their living-place.

bbe@Joshua:21:44 @And the Lord gave them peace on every side, as he had said to their fathers: all those who were against them gave way before them, for the Lord gave them all up into their hands.

bbe@Joshua:21:45 @The Lord kept faith with the house of Israel about all the good which he said he would do for them, and all his words came true.

bbe@Joshua:22:1 @Then Joshua sent for the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh,

bbe@Joshua:22:2 @And said to them, You have kept all the orders of Moses, the Lord's servant, and have done everything I gave you orders to do:

bbe@Joshua:22:5 @Only take great care to do the orders and the law which Moses, the Lord's servant, gave you; to have love for the Lord your God and to go in all his ways; and to keep his laws and to be true to him and to be his servants with all your heart and with all your soul.

bbe@Joshua:22:7 @Now to the one half of the tribe of Manasseh, Moses had given a heritage in Bashan; but to the other half, Joshua gave a heritage among their brothers on the west side of Jordan. Now when Joshua sent them away to their tents, he gave them his blessing,

bbe@Joshua:22:8 @And said to them, Go back with much wealth to your tents, and with very much cattle, with silver and gold and brass and iron, and with a very great store of clothing; give your brothers a part of the goods taken in the war.

bbe@Joshua:22:9 @So Reuben and Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh went back, parting from the children of Israel at Shiloh in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their heritage which had been given to them by the Lord's order to Moses.

bbe@Joshua:22:10 @Now when they came to the country by Jordan in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh put up there, by Jordan, a great altar, seen from far.

bbe@Joshua:22:11 @And news came to the children of Israel, See, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have put up an altar opposite the land of Canaan, in the country by Jordan on the side which is Israel's.

bbe@Joshua:22:12 @Then all the meeting of the children of Israel, hearing this, came together at Shiloh to go up against them to war.

bbe@Joshua:22:13 @And the children of Israel sent Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, to the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead,

bbe@Joshua:22:15 @And they came to the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and said to them,

bbe@Joshua:22:16 @This is what all the meeting of the people of the Lord has said, What is this wrong which you have done against the God of Israel, turning back this day from the Lord and building an altar for yourselves, and being false to the Lord?

bbe@Joshua:22:17 @Was not the sin of Baal-peor great enough, from which we are not clear even to this day, though punishment came on the people of the Lord,

bbe@Joshua:22:18 @That now you are turned back from the Lord? and, because you are false to him today, tomorrow his wrath will be let loose on all the people of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:22:19 @But if the land you now have is unclean, come over into the Lord's land where his House is, and take up your heritage among us: but do not be false to the Lord and to us by building yourselves an altar in addition to the altar of the Lord our God.

bbe@Joshua:22:20 @Did not Achan, the son of Zerah, do wrong about the cursed thing, causing wrath to come on all the people of Israel? And not on him only came the punishment of death.

bbe@Joshua:22:21 @Then the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh said in answer to the heads of the families of Israel,

bbe@Joshua:22:23 @That we have made ourselves an altar, being false to the Lord, keep us not safe from death this day; and if for the purpose of offering burned offerings on it and meal offerings, or peace-offerings, let the Lord himself send punishment for it;

bbe@Joshua:22:26 @So we said, Let us now make an altar for ourselves, not for burned offerings or for the offerings of beasts:

bbe@Joshua:22:28 @For we said to ourselves, If they say this to us or to future generations, then we will say, See this copy of the Lord's altar which our fathers made, not for burned offerings or offerings of beasts, but for a witness between us and you.

bbe@Joshua:22:29 @Never let it be said that we were false to the Lord, turning back this day from him and building an altar for burned offerings and meal offerings and offerings of beasts, in addition to the altar of the Lord our God which is before his House.

bbe@Joshua:22:31 @And Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, said to the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh, Now we are certain that the Lord is among us, because you have not done this wrong against the Lord: and you have kept us from falling into the hands of the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:22:34 @And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad gave to that altar the name of Ed. For, they said, It is a witness between us that the Lord is God.

bbe@Joshua:23:2 @Joshua sent for all Israel, for their responsible men and their chiefs and their judges and their overseers, and said to them, I am old, and full of years:

bbe@Joshua:23:3 @You have seen everything the Lord your God has done to all these nations because of you; for it is the Lord your God who has been fighting for you.

bbe@Joshua:23:4 @Now I have given to you, as the heritage of your tribes, all these nations which are still in the land, together with those cut off by me, from Jordan as far as the Great Sea on the west.

bbe@Joshua:23:9 @For the Lord has sent out from before you nations great and strong: and they have all given way before you till this day.

bbe@Joshua:23:14 @Now I am about to go the way of all the earth: and you have seen and are certain, all of you, in your hearts and souls, that in all the good things which the Lord said about you, he has kept faith with you; everything has come true for you.

bbe@Joshua:23:15 @And you will see that, as all the good things which the Lord your God undertook to do for you, have come to you, so the Lord will send down on you all the evil things till he has made your destruction complete, and you are cut off from the good land which the Lord your God has given you.

bbe@Joshua:24:1 @Then Joshua got all the tribes of Israel together at Shechem; and he sent for the responsible men of Israel and their chiefs and their judges and their overseers; and they took their place before God.

bbe@Joshua:24:2 @And Joshua said to all the people, These are the words of the Lord, the God of Israel: In the past your fathers, Terah, the father of Abraham, and the father of Nahor, were living on the other side of the River: and they were worshipping other gods.

bbe@Joshua:24:3 @And I took your father Abraham from the other side of the River, guiding him through all the land of Canaan; I made his offspring great in number, and gave him Isaac.

bbe@Joshua:24:5 @And I sent Moses and Aaron, troubling Egypt by all the signs I did among them: and after that I took you out.

bbe@Joshua:24:9 @Then Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab, went up to war against Israel; and he sent for Balaam, the son of Beor, to put a curse on you:

bbe@Joshua:24:10 @But I did not give ear to Balaam; and so he went on blessing you; and I kept you safe from him.

bbe@Joshua:24:17 @For it is the Lord our God who has taken us and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, out of the prison-house, and who did all those great signs before our eyes, and kept us safe on all our journeys, and among all the peoples through whom we went:

bbe@Joshua:24:18 @And the Lord sent out from before us all the peoples, the Amorites living in the land: so we will be the servants of the Lord, for he is our God.

bbe@Joshua:24:27 @And Joshua said to all the people, See now, this stone is to be a witness against us; for all the words of the Lord have been said to us in its hearing: so it will be a witness against you if you are false to the Lord your God.

bbe@Joshua:24:31 @And Israel was true to the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the older men who were still living after Joshua's death, and had seen what the Lord had done for Israel.

bbe@Judges:1:7 @And Adoni-zedek said, Seventy kings, whose thumbs and great toes had been cut off, got broken meat under my table: as I have done, so has God done to me in full. And they took him to Jerusalem, and he came to his end there.

bbe@Judges:1:8 @Then the children of Judah made an attack on Jerusalem, and took it, burning down the town after they had put its people to the sword without mercy.

bbe@Judges:1:10 @And Caleb went against the Canaanites of Hebron: (now in earlier times Hebron was named Kiriath-arba:) and he put Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai to the sword.

bbe@Judges:1:12 @And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.

bbe@Judges:1:13 @And Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother, took it; so he gave him his daughter Achsah for his wife.

bbe@Judges:1:14 @Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?

bbe@Judges:1:15 @And she said to him, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in a dry south-land, now give me springs of water. So Caleb gave her the higher spring and the lower spring.

bbe@Judges:1:16 @Now Hobab the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, had come up out of the town of palm-trees, with the children of Judah, into the waste land of Arad; and he went and was living among the Amalekites;

bbe@Judges:1:19 @And the Lord was with Judah; and he took the hill-country for his heritage; but he was unable to make the people of the valley go out, for they had war-carriages of iron.

bbe@Judges:1:20 @And they gave Hebron to Caleb, as Moses had said; and he took the land of the three sons of Anak, driving them out from there.

bbe@Judges:1:21 @And the children of Judah did not make the Jebusites who were living in Jerusalem go out; the Jebusites are still living with the children of Benjamin in Jerusalem.

bbe@Judges:1:25 @So he made clear to them the way into the town, and they put it to the sword; but they let the man and all his family get away safe.

bbe@Judges:1:30 @Zebulun did not make the people of Kitron or the people of Nahalol go out; but the Canaanites went on living among them and were put to forced work.

bbe@Judges:1:33 @Naphtali did not take the land of the people of Beth-shemesh or of Beth-anath, driving them out; but he was living among the Canaanites in the land; however, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were put to forced work.

bbe@Judges:1:34 @And the children of Dan were forced into the hill-country by the Amorites, who would not let them come down into the valley;

bbe@Judges:1:35 @For the Amorites would go on living in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; but the children of Joseph became stronger than they, and put them to forced work.

bbe@Judges:2:1 @Now the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, *** I took you out of Egypt, guiding you into the land which I gave by an oath to your fathers; and I said, My agreement with you will never be broken by me:

bbe@Judges:2:2 @And you are to make no agreement with the people of this land; you are to see that their altars are broken down: but you have not given ear to my voice: what have you done?

bbe@Judges:2:3 @And so I have said, I will not send them out from before you; but they will be a danger to you, and their gods will be a cause of falling to you.

bbe@Judges:2:4 @Now on hearing these words which the angel of the Lord said to all the children of Israel, the people gave themselves up to loud crying and weeping.

bbe@Judges:2:7 @And the people were true to the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the responsible men who were still living after the death of Joshua, and had seen all the great work of the Lord which he had done for Israel.

bbe@Judges:2:10 @And in time death overtook all that generation; and another generation came after them, having no knowledge of the Lord or of the things which he had done for Israel.

bbe@Judges:2:11 @And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord and became servants to the Baals;

bbe@Judges:2:13 @And they gave up the Lord, and became the servants of Baal and the Astartes.

bbe@Judges:2:14 @And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of those who violently took their property, and into the hands of their haters all round them, so that they were forced to give way before them.

bbe@Judges:2:18 @And whenever the Lord gave them judges, then the Lord was with the judge, and was their saviour from the hands of their haters all the days of the judge; for the Lord was moved by their cries of grief because of those who were cruel to them.

bbe@Judges:2:22 @In order to put Israel to the test, and see if they will keep the way of the Lord, walking in it as their fathers did, or not.

bbe@Judges:3:1 @Now these are the nations which the Lord kept in the land for the purpose of testing Israel by them, all those who had had no experience of all the wars of Canaan;

bbe@Judges:3:3 @The five chiefs of the Philistines, and all the Canaanites and the Zidonians and the Hivites living in Mount Lebanon, from the mountain Baal-hermon as far as Hamath:

bbe@Judges:3:7 @And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and put out of their minds the Lord their God, and became servants to the Baals and the Astartes.

bbe@Judges:3:9 @And when the children of Israel made prayer to the Lord, he gave them a saviour, Othniel, the son of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother.

bbe@Judges:3:13 @And Eglon got together the people of Ammon and Amalek, and they went and overcame Israel and took the town of palm-trees.

bbe@Judges:3:19 @But he himself, turning back from the stone images at Gilgal, said, I have something to say to you in secret, O king. And he said, Let there be quiet. Then all those who were waiting before him went out.

bbe@Judges:3:27 @And when he came there, he had a horn sounded in the hill-country of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he at their head.

bbe@Judges:4:5 @(And she had her seat under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el in the hill-country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel came up to her to be judged.)

bbe@Judges:4:6 @And she sent for Barak, the son of Abinoam, from Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, Has not the Lord, the God of Israel, given orders saying, Go and get your force into line in Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?

bbe@Judges:4:10 @Then Barak sent for Zebulun and Naphtali to come to Kedesh; and ten thousand men went up after him, and Deborah went up with him

bbe@Judges:4:13 @So Sisera got together all his war-carriages, nine hundred war-carriages of iron, and all the people who were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles as far as the river Kishon.

bbe@Judges:4:15 @And the Lord sent fear on Sisera and all his war-carriages and all his army before Barak; and Sisera got down from his war-carriage and went in flight on foot.

bbe@Judges:4:16 @But Barak went after the war-carriages and the army as far as Harosheth of the Gentiles; and all Sisera's army was put to the sword; not a man got away.

bbe@Judges:5:10 @Let them give thought to it, who go on white asses, and those who are walking on the road.

bbe@Judges:5:11 @Give ear to the women laughing by the water-springs; there they will give again the story of the upright acts of the Lord, all the upright acts of his arm in Israel.

bbe@Judges:5:14 @Out of Ephraim they came down into the valley; after you, Benjamin, among your tribesmen; from Machir came down the captains, and from Zebulun those in whose hand is the ruler's rod.

bbe@Judges:5:15 @Your chiefs, Issachar, were with Deborah; and Naphtali was true to Barak; into the valley they went rushing out at his feet. In Reuben there were divisions, and great searchings of heart.

bbe@Judges:5:18 @It was the people of Zebulun who put their lives in danger, even to death, with Naphtali on the high places of the field.

bbe@Judges:5:24 @Blessings be on Jael, more than on all women! Blessings greater than on any in the tents!

bbe@Judges:5:31 @So may destruction come on all your haters, O Lord; but let your lovers be like the sun going out in his strength. And for forty years the land had peace.

bbe@Judges:6:3 @And whenever Israel's grain was planted, the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east came up against them;

bbe@Judges:6:4 @And put their army in position against them; and they took all the produce of the earth as far as Gaza, till there was no food in Israel, or any sheep or oxen or asses.

bbe@Judges:6:9 @And I took you out of the hands of the Egyptians and out of the hands of all who were cruel to you, and I sent them out by force from before you and gave you their land;

bbe@Judges:6:13 @Then Gideon said to him, O my lord, if the Lord is with us why has all this come on us? And where are all his works of power, of which our fathers have given us word, saying, Did not the Lord take us out of Egypt? But now he has given us up, handing us over to the power of Midian.

bbe@Judges:6:17 @So he said to him, If now I have grace in your eyes, then give me a sign that it is you who are talking to me.

bbe@Judges:6:19 @Then Gideon went in and made ready a young goat, and with an ephah of meal he made unleavened cakes: he put the meat in a basket and the soup in which it had been cooked he put in a pot, and he took it out to him under the oak-tree and gave it to him there.

bbe@Judges:6:24 @Then Gideon made an altar there to the Lord, and gave it the name Yahweh-shalom; to this day it is in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

bbe@Judges:6:25 @The same night the Lord said to him, Take ten men of your servants and an ox seven years old, and after pulling down the altar of Baal which is your father's, and cutting down the holy tree by its side,

bbe@Judges:6:26 @Make an altar to the Lord your God on the top of this rock, in the ordered way and take the ox and make a burned offering with the wood of the holy tree which has been cut down.

bbe@Judges:6:28 @And the men of the town got up early in the morning, and they saw the altar of Baal broken down, and the holy tree which was by it cut down, and the ox offered on the altar which had been put up there.

bbe@Judges:6:30 @Then the men of the town said to Joash, Make your son come out to be put to death, for pulling down the altar of Baal and cutting down the holy tree which was by it.

bbe@Judges:6:31 @But Joash said to all those who were attacking him, Will you take up the cause of Baal? will you be his saviour? Let anyone who will take up his cause be put to death while it is still morning: if he is a god, let him take up his cause himself because of the pulling down of his altar.

bbe@Judges:6:32 @So that day he gave him the name of Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal take up his cause against him because his altar has been broken down.

bbe@Judges:6:33 @Then all the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east, banding themselves together, went over and put up their tents in the valley of Jezreel.

bbe@Judges:6:34 @But the spirit of the Lord came on Gideon; and at the sound of his horn all Abiezer came together after him.

bbe@Judges:6:35 @And he sent through all Manasseh, and they came after him; and he sent to Asher and Zebulun and Naphtali, and they came up and were joined to the others.

bbe@Judges:6:36 @Then Gideon said to God, If you are going to give Israel salvation by my hand, as you have said,

bbe@Judges:6:37 @See, I will put the wool of a sheep on the grain-floor; if there is dew on the wool only, while all the earth is dry, then I will be certain that it is your purpose to give Israel salvation by my hand as you have said.

bbe@Judges:6:40 @And that night God did so; for the wool was dry, and there was dew on all the earth round it.

bbe@Judges:7:1 @Then Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon, and all the people with him, got up early and put up their tents by the side of the water-spring of Harod; the tents of Midian were on the north side of him, under the hill of Moreh in the valley.

bbe@Judges:7:3 @So now, let it be given out to the people that anyone who is shaking with fear is to go back from Mount Galud. So twenty-two thousand of the people went back, but there were still ten thousand.

bbe@Judges:7:5 @So he took the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gideon, Put on one side by themselves all those drinking up the water with their tongues like a dog; and in the same way, all those who go down on their knees to the water while drinking.

bbe@Judges:7:6 @Now the number of those who took up the water with their tongues was three hundred; all the rest of the people went down on their knees to the water.

bbe@Judges:7:7 @And the Lord said to Gideon, By those three hundred who were drinking with their tongues I will give you salvation and give the Midianites into your hands; let the rest of the people go away, every man to his place.

bbe@Judges:7:8 @So they took the vessels of the people, and their horns from their hands, and he sent them away, every man to his tent, keeping only the three hundred; and the tents of Midian were lower down in the valley.

bbe@Judges:7:12 @Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the people of the east were covering the valley like locusts; and their camels were like the sand by the seaside, without number.

bbe@Judges:7:13 @When Gideon came there, a man was giving his friend an account of his dream, saying, See, I had a dream about a cake of barley bread which, falling into the tents of Midian, came on to the tent, overturning it so that it was stretched out flat on the earth.

bbe@Judges:7:14 @And his friend in answer said, This is certainly the sword of Gideon, the son of Joash, the men of Israel: into their hands God has given up all the army of Midian.

bbe@Judges:7:18 @At the sound of my horn, and the horns of those who are with me, let your horns be sounded all round the tents, and say, For the Lord and for Gideon.

bbe@Judges:7:20 @So the three bands all gave a loud note on their horns, and when the vessels had been broken, they took the flaming branches in their left hands, and the horns in their right hands ready for blowing, crying out, For the Lord and for Gideon.

bbe@Judges:7:21 @Then they made a line round the tents, every man in his place; and all the army, awaking from sleep, came running out, and with loud cries went in flight.

bbe@Judges:7:22 @And the three hundred gave a loud note on their horns, and every man's sword was turned by the Lord against his brother all through the army; and the army went in flight as far as Beth-shittah in the direction of Zeredah, to the edge of Abel-meholah by Tabbath.

bbe@Judges:7:23 @And the men of Israel came together from Naphtali and from Asher and all Manasseh, and went after Midian.

bbe@Judges:7:24 @Then Gideon sent through all the hill-country of Ephraim saying, Come down against Midian, and keep the ways across Jordan before they come. So all the men of Ephraim, massing themselves together, kept the ways across Jordan.

bbe@Judges:8:2 @And he said to them, What have I done in comparison with you? Is not that which Ephraim took up after the grape-cutting better than all the grapes which Abiezer got in from the grape-cutting?

bbe@Judges:8:5 @And he said to the men of Succoth, Give bread cakes to my people, for they are overcome with weariness, and I am going on after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.

bbe@Judges:8:6 @But the chiefs of Succoth said, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna even now in your hand that we are to give bread to your army?

bbe@Judges:8:7 @Then Gideon said, Because of this, when the Lord has given Zebah and Zalmunna into my hands, I will have you stretched on a bed of thorns of the waste land and on sharp stems, and have you crushed as grain is crushed on a grain-floor.

bbe@Judges:8:10 @Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand men, those of all the army of the children of the east who were still living; for a hundred and twenty thousand of their swordsmen had been put to death.

bbe@Judges:8:12 @And Zebah and Zalmunna went in flight; and he went after them, and took the two kings of Midian, Zebah and Zalmunna, and put all the army to the curse.

bbe@Judges:8:15 @So he came to the men of Succoth and said, Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, on account of whom you made sport of me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna even now in your hand, that we are to give bread to your army who are overcome with weariness?

bbe@Judges:8:18 @Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, Where are the men whom you put to death at Tabor? And they gave answer, As you are, so were they; every one of them was like a king's son

bbe@Judges:8:21 @Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Up! Put an end to us yourself: for you have a man's strength. Then Gideon got up and put Zebah and Zalmunna to death and took the ornaments which were on their camels' necks.

bbe@Judges:8:27 @And Gideon made an ephod from them and put it up in his town Ophrah; and all Israel went after it there and were false to the Lord; and it became a cause of sin to Gideon and his house.

bbe@Judges:8:29 @And Jerubbaal, the son of Joash, went back to his house and was living there.

bbe@Judges:8:33 @And after the death of Gideon, the children of Israel again went after the gods of Canaan and were false to the Lord, and made Baal-berith their god.

bbe@Judges:8:34 @And the children of Israel did not keep in their minds the Lord their God, who had been their saviour from all their haters on every side;

bbe@Judges:8:35 @And they were not kind to the house of Jerubbaal, that is, Gideon, in reward for all the good he had done to Israel.

bbe@Judges:9:1 @Now Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, went to Shechem to his mother's family, and said to them and to all the family of his mother's father,

bbe@Judges:9:2 @Say now in the ears of all the townsmen of Shechem, Is it better for you to be ruled by all the seventy sons of Jerubbaal or by one man only? And keep in mind that I am your bone and your flesh.

bbe@Judges:9:3 @So his mother's family said all this about him in the ears of all the townsmen of Shechem: and their hearts were turned to Abimelech, for they said, He is our brother.

bbe@Judges:9:4 @And they gave him seventy shekels of silver from the house of Baal-berith, with which Abimelech got the support of a number of uncontrolled and good-for-nothing persons.

bbe@Judges:9:5 @Then he went to his father's house at Ophrah, and put his brothers, the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, to death on the same stone; however, Jotham, the youngest, kept himself safe by going away to a secret place.

bbe@Judges:9:6 @And all the townsmen of Shechem and all Beth-millo came together and went and made Abimelech their king, by the oak of the pillar in Shechem.

bbe@Judges:9:9 @But the olive-tree said to them, Am I to give up my wealth of oil, by which men give honour to God, and go waving over the trees?

bbe@Judges:9:14 @Then all the trees said to the thorn, You come and be king over us.

bbe@Judges:9:16 @So now, if you have done truly and uprightly in making Abimelech king, and if you have done well to Jerubbaal and his house in reward for the work of his hands;

bbe@Judges:9:19 @If then you have done what is true and upright to Jerubbaal and his family this day, may you have joy in Abimelech, and may he have joy in you;

bbe@Judges:9:23 @And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the townsmen of Shechem; and the townsmen of Shechem were false to Abimelech;

bbe@Judges:9:24 @So that punishment for the violent attack made on the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, and for their blood, might come on Abimelech, their brother, who put them to death, and on the townsmen of Shechem who gave him their help in putting his brothers to death.

bbe@Judges:9:25 @And the townsmen of Shechem put secret watchers on the tops of the mountains, and they made attacks on all who went by on the road and took their goods; and word of this came to Abimelech.

bbe@Judges:9:26 @Then Gaal, the son of Ebed, came with his brothers, and went over to Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their faith in him.

bbe@Judges:9:28 @And Gaal, the son of Ebed, said, Who is Abimelech and who is Shechem, that we are to be his servants? Is it not right for the son of Jerubbaal and Zebul his captain to be servants to the men of Hamor, the father of Shechem? But why are we to be his servants?

bbe@Judges:9:30 @Now Zebul, the ruler of the town, hearing what Gaal, the son of Ebed, had said, was moved to wrath.

bbe@Judges:9:31 @And he sent to Abimelech at Arumah, saying, See, Gaal, the son of Ebed, and his brothers have come to Shechem, and they are working up the town against you.

bbe@Judges:9:35 @And Gaal, the son of Ebed, went out, and took his place at the doorway into the town; then Abimelech and his people got up from the place where they had been waiting.

bbe@Judges:9:36 @And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, See! people are coming down from the tops of the mountains. And Zebul said to him, You see the shade of the mountains like men.

bbe@Judges:9:37 @And Gaal said again, See! people are coming down from the middle of the land, and one band is coming by way of the oak-tree of the Seers.

bbe@Judges:9:38 @Then Zebul said to him, Now where is your loud talk when you said, Who is Abimelech that we are to be his servants? Is this not the people whom you were rating so low? Go out now, and make war on them.

bbe@Judges:9:39 @So Gaal went out at the head of the townsmen of Shechem and made war on Abimelech.

bbe@Judges:9:40 @And Abimelech went after him and he went in flight before him; and a great number were falling by the sword all the way up to the town.

bbe@Judges:9:41 @Then Abimelech went back to Arumah; and Zebul sent Gaal and his brothers away and would not let them go on living in Shechem.

bbe@Judges:9:44 @And Abimelech with his band made a rush, and took up their position at the doorway into the town; and the other two bands made a rush on all those who were in the fields, and overcame them.

bbe@Judges:9:45 @And all that day Abimelech was fighting against the town; and he took it, and put to death the people who were in it, and had the town pulled down and covered with salt.

bbe@Judges:9:46 @Then all the townsmen of the tower of Shechem, hearing of it, went into the inner room of the house of El-berith.

bbe@Judges:9:47 @And word was given to Abimelech that all the men of the tower of Shechem were there together.

bbe@Judges:9:48 @Then Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, with all his people; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand and, cutting down branches of trees, took them and put them on his back. And he said to the people who were with him, Be quick and do as you have seen me do.

bbe@Judges:9:49 @So all the people got branches, every man cutting down a branch, and they went with Abimelech at their head and, massing the branches against the inner room, put fire to the room over them; so all those who were in the tower of Shechem, about a thousand men and women, were burned to death with it.

bbe@Judges:9:51 @But in the middle of the town there was a strong tower, to which all the men and women of the town went in flight and, shutting themselves in, went up to the roof of the tower.

bbe@Judges:9:57 @And God sent back on to the heads of the men of Shechem all the evil they had done, and the curse of Jotham, the son of Jerubbaal, came on them.

bbe@Judges:10:6 @And again the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord, worshipping the Baals and Astartes, and the gods of Aram and the gods of Zidon and the gods of Moab and the gods of the children of Ammon and the gods of the Philistines; they gave up the Lord and were servants to him no longer.

bbe@Judges:10:8 @And that year the children of Israel were crushed under their yoke; for eighteen years all the children of Israel on the other side of Jordan, in the land of the Amorites which is in Gilead, were cruelly crushed down.

bbe@Judges:10:10 @Then the children of Israel, crying out to the Lord, said, Great is our sin against you, for we have given up our God and have been servants to the Baals.

bbe@Judges:10:12 @And the Zidonians and Amalek and Midian crushing you down, and in answer to your cry did I not give you salvation from their hands?

bbe@Judges:10:13 @But, for all this, you have given me up and have been servants to other gods: so I will be your saviour no longer.

bbe@Judges:10:15 @And the children of Israel said to the Lord, We are sinners; do to us whatever seems good to you: only give us salvation this day.

bbe@Judges:10:18 @And the people of Israel said to one another, Who will be the first to make an attack on the children of Ammon? We will make him head over all Gilead.

bbe@Judges:11:8 @And the responsible men of Gilead said to Jephthah, That is the reason we have come back to you; so go with us and make war against the children of Ammon, and we will make you our head over all the people of Gilead.

bbe@Judges:11:11 @So Jephthah went with the responsible men of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them; and Jephthah said all these things before the Lord in Mizpah

bbe@Judges:11:20 @But Sihon would not give way and let Israel go through his land; and Sihon got together all his people, and put his army in position in Jahaz, and made war on Israel.

bbe@Judges:11:21 @And the Lord, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hands of Israel, and they overcame them; so all the land of the Amorites, the people of that land, became Israel's.

bbe@Judges:11:22 @All the limit of the Amorites was theirs, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and from the waste land even to Jordan.

bbe@Judges:11:24 @Do you not keep the lands of those whom Chemosh your god sends out from before you? So we will keep all the lands of those whom the Lord our God sends out from before us.

bbe@Judges:11:25 @What! are you any better than Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab? Did he ever take up a cause against Israel or make war against them?

bbe@Judges:11:26 @While Israel was living in Heshbon and its daughter-towns and in Aroer and its daughter-towns and in all the towns which are by the side of the Arnon, for three hundred years, why did you not get them back at that time?

bbe@Judges:11:33 @And he made an attack on them from Aroer all the way to Minnith, overrunning twenty towns, as far as Abel-cheramim, and put great numbers to the sword. So the children of Ammon were crushed before the children of Israel.

bbe@Judges:12:4 @Then Jephthah got together all the men of Gilead and made war on Ephraim; and the men of Gilead overcame Ephraim.

bbe@Judges:12:12 @And Elon the Zebulonite came to his death, and his body was put to rest in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.

bbe@Judges:12:15 @And Abdon, the son of Hillel, came to his death, and his body was put to rest in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekites.

bbe@Judges:13:11 @And Manoah got up and went after his wife, and came up to the man and said to him, Are you the man who was talking to this woman? And he said, I am.

bbe@Judges:13:14 @She is to have nothing which comes from the vine for her food, and let her take no wine or strong drink or anything which is unclean; let her take care to do all I have given her orders to do.

bbe@Judges:13:19 @So Manoah took the young goat with its meal offering, offering it on the rock to the Lord, who did strange things.

bbe@Judges:13:20 @And when the flame went up to heaven from the altar, the angel of the Lord went up in the flame of the altar, while Manoah and his wife were looking on; and they went down on their faces to the earth.

bbe@Judges:13:23 @But his wife said to him, If the Lord was purposing our death, he would not have taken our burned offering and our meal offering, or have given us such orders about the child.

bbe@Judges:14:3 @Then his father and mother said to him, Is there no woman among the daughters of your relations or among all my people, that you have to go for your wife to the Philistines, who are without circumcision? But Samson said to his father, Get her for me, for she is pleasing to me.

bbe@Judges:14:7 @So he went down and had talk with the woman; and she was pleasing to Samson.

bbe@Judges:14:15 @So on the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, Get from your husband the answer to his question by some trick or other, or we will have you and your father's house burned with fire; did you get us here to take all we have?

bbe@Judges:14:17 @And all the seven days of the feast she went on weeping over him; and on the seventh day he gave her the answer, because she gave him no peace; and she sent word of it to the children of her people

bbe@Judges:15:5 @Then firing the sticks, he let the foxes loose among the uncut grain of the Philistines, and all the corded stems as well as the living grain and the vine-gardens and the olives went up in flames.

bbe@Judges:15:9 @Then the Philistines went and put up their tents in Judah, all round Lehi.

bbe@Judges:15:14 @And when he came to Lehi, the Philistines came out, meeting him with loud cries; then the spirit of the Lord came rushing on him, and the cords on his arms became like grass which has been burned with fire, and the bands came falling off his hands.

bbe@Judges:15:18 @After this, he was in great need of water, and crying out to the Lord, he said, You have given this great salvation by the hand of your servant, and now need of water will be my death; and I will be given into the hands of this people who are without circumcision.

bbe@Judges:16:2 @And it was said to the Gazites, Samson is here. So they went round, watching for him all day at the doorway of the town, but at night they kept quiet, saying, When daylight comes we will put him to death.

bbe@Judges:16:4 @Now after this, he was in love with a woman in the valley of Sorek, named Delilah.

bbe@Judges:16:10 @Then Delilah said to Samson, See, you have been making sport of me with false words; now, say truly how may you be put in bands?

bbe@Judges:16:13 @Then Delilah said to Samson, Up to now you have made sport of me with false words; now say truly, how may you be put in bands? And he said to her, If you get the seven twists of my hair worked into the cloth you are making and fixed with the pin, I will become feeble and will be like any other man.

bbe@Judges:16:17 @And opening all his heart to her, he said to her, My head has never been touched by a blade, for I have been separate to God from the day of my birth: if my hair is cut off, then my strength will go from me and I will become feeble, and will be like any other man.

bbe@Judges:16:18 @And when Delilah saw that he had let her see into his heart, she sent word to the chiefs of the Philistines saying, Come up this time, for he has let out all his heart to me. Then the chiefs of the Philistines came to her, with the money in their hands.

bbe@Judges:16:27 @Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and about three thousand men and women were on the roof, looking on while Samson made sport.

bbe@Judges:16:30 @And Samson said, Let death overtake me with the Philistines. And he put out all his strength, and the house came down on the chiefs and on all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he sent to destruction by his death were more than all those on whom he had sent destruction in his life.

bbe@Judges:17:2 @And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver which were taken from you, about which you took an oath and said in my hearing, I have given this silver to the Lord from my hand for myself, to make a pictured image and a metal image: see, I have the silver, for I took it: so now I will give it back to you. And his mother said, May the blessing of the Lord be on my son.

bbe@Judges:17:3 @And he gave back the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, and his mother said, I have made the silver holy to the Lord from me for my son, to make a pictured image and a metal image.

bbe@Judges:17:4 @So he gave the silver back to his mother. Then his mother took two hundred shekels of silver and gave them to a metal-worker who made a pictured image and a metal image from them: and it was in the house of Micah.

bbe@Judges:18:14 @Then the five men who had gone to make a search through the country of Laish, said to their brothers, Have you knowledge that in these houses there is an ephod and family gods and a pictured image and a metal image? So now you see what to do.

bbe@Judges:18:17 @Then the five men who had gone to make a search through the land, went in and took the pictured image and the ephod and the family gods and the metal image; and the priest was by the doorway with the six hundred armed men.

bbe@Judges:18:18 @And when they went into Micah's house and took out the pictured image and the ephod and the family gods and the metal image, the priest said to them, What are you doing?

bbe@Judges:18:28 @And they had no saviour, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no business with Aram; and it was in the valley which is the property of Beth-rehob. And building up the town again they took it for their living-place.

bbe@Judges:18:31 @And they put up for themselves the image which Micah had made, and it was there all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.

bbe@Judges:19:3 @Then her husband got up and went after her, with the purpose of talking kindly to her, and taking her back with him; he had with him his young man and two asses: and she took him into her father's house, and her father, when he saw him, came forward to him with joy.

bbe@Judges:19:8 @Then early on the morning of the fifth day he got up to go away; but the girl's father said, Keep up your strength; so the two of them had a meal, and the man and his woman and his servant did not go till after the middle of the day.

bbe@Judges:19:9 @And when they got up to go away, his father-in-law, the girl's father, said to him, Now evening is coming on, so do not go tonight; see, the day is almost gone; take your rest here and let your heart be glad, and tomorrow early, go on your way back to your house.

bbe@Judges:19:10 @But the man would not be kept there that night, and he got up and went away and came opposite to Jebus (which is Jerusalem); and he had with him the two asses, ready for travelling, and his woman

bbe@Judges:19:20 @And the old man said, Peace be with you; let all your needs be my care; only do not take your rest in the street.

bbe@Judges:19:22 @While they were taking their pleasure at the meal, the good-for-nothing men of the town came round the house, giving blows on the door; and they said to the old man, the master of the house, Send out that man who came to your house, so that we may take our pleasure with him.

bbe@Judges:19:25 @But the men would not give ear to him: so the man took his woman and sent her out to them; and they took her by force, using her for their pleasure all night till the morning; and when dawn came they let her go.

bbe@Judges:19:26 @Then at the dawn of day the woman came, and, falling down at the door of the man's house where her master was, was stretched there till it was light.

bbe@Judges:19:29 @And when he had come to his house, he got his knife, and took the woman, cutting her up bone by bone into twelve parts, which he sent through all Israel.

bbe@Judges:19:30 @And he gave orders to the men whom he sent, saying, This is what you are to say to all the men of Israel, Has ever an act like this been done from the day when the children of Israel came out of Egypt to this day? Give thought to it, turning it over in your minds, and give your opinion of it.

bbe@Judges:20:1 @Then all the children of Israel took up arms, and the people came together like one man, from Dan to Beer-sheba, and the land of Gilead, before the Lord at Mizpah.

bbe@Judges:20:2 @And the chiefs of the people, out of all the tribes of Israel, took their places in the meeting of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen armed with swords.

bbe@Judges:20:5 @And the townsmen of Gibeah came together against me, going round the house on all sides by night; it was their purpose to put me to death, and my servant-wife was violently used by them and is dead.

bbe@Judges:20:6 @So I took her, cutting her into parts which I sent through all the country of the heritage of Israel: for they have done an act of shame in Israel.

bbe@Judges:20:7 @Here you all are, you children of Israel; give now your suggestions about what is to be done.

bbe@Judges:20:8 @Then all the people got up as one man and said, Not one of us will go to his tent or go back to his house:

bbe@Judges:20:10 @And we will take ten men out of every hundred, through all the tribes of Israel, a hundred out of every thousand, a thousand out of every ten thousand, to get food for the people, so that they may give to Gibeah of Benjamin the right punishment for the act of shame they have done in Israel.

bbe@Judges:20:11 @So all the men of Israel were banded together against the town, united like one man.

bbe@Judges:20:12 @And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin saying, What is this evil which has been done among you?

bbe@Judges:20:14 @And the children of Benjamin came together from all their towns to Gibeah, to go to war with the children of Israel.

bbe@Judges:20:17 @And the men of Israel, other than Benjamin, were four hundred thousand in number, all armed with swords; they were all men of war.

bbe@Judges:20:25 @And the second day Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah, cutting down eighteen thousand men of the children of Israel, all swordsmen.

bbe@Judges:20:26 @Then all the children of Israel, and all the people, went up to Beth-el, weeping and waiting there before the Lord, going without food all day till evening, and offering burned offerings and peace-offerings before the Lord.

bbe@Judges:20:29 @So Israel put men secretly all round Gibeah to make a surprise attack on it.

bbe@Judges:20:33 @So all the men of Israel got up and put themselves in fighting order at Baal-tamar: and those who had been waiting secretly to make a surprise attack came rushing out of their place on the west of Geba.

bbe@Judges:20:34 @And they came in front of Gibeah, ten thousand of the best men in all Israel, and the fighting became more violent; but the children of Benjamin were not conscious that evil was coming on them.

bbe@Judges:20:35 @Then the Lord sent sudden fear on Benjamin before Israel; and that day the children of Israel put to death twenty-five thousand, one hundred men of Benjamin, all of them swordsmen.

bbe@Judges:20:37 @And the watchers, rushing on Gibeah and overrunning it, put all the town to the sword without mercy.

bbe@Judges:20:39 @The men of Israel were to make a turn about in the fight. And Benjamin had overcome and put to death about thirty of the men of Israel, and were saying, Certainly they are falling back before us as in the first fight.

bbe@Judges:20:40 @Then the sign went up out of the town in the pillar of smoke, and the Benjamites, turning back, saw all the town going up in smoke to heaven.

bbe@Judges:20:44 @Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin came to their death, all strong men of war.

bbe@Judges:20:46 @So twenty-five thousand of the swordsmen of Benjamin came to their end that day, all strong men of war.

bbe@Judges:20:48 @And the men of Israel, turning again against the children of Benjamin, put to the sword without mercy all the towns and the cattle and everything there was, burning every town which came into their hands.

bbe@Judges:21:4 @Then on the day after, the people got up early and made an altar there, offering burned offerings and peace-offerings.

bbe@Judges:21:5 @And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel, who did not come up to the Lord at the meeting of all Israel? For they had taken a great oath that whoever did not come up to Mizpah to the Lord was to be put to death.

bbe@Judges:21:11 @And this is what you are to do: every male, and every woman who has had sex relations with a man, you are to put to the curse, but you are to keep safe the virgins. And they did so.

bbe@Judges:21:13 @And all the meeting sent to the men of Benjamin who were in the rock of Rimmon, offering them peace.

bbe@Ruth:1:19 @So the two of them went on till they came to Beth-lehem. And when they came to Beth-lehem all the town was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?

bbe@Ruth:1:20 @And she said to them, Do not let my name be Naomi, but Mara, for the Ruler of all has given me a bitter fate.

bbe@Ruth:1:21 @I went out full, and the Lord has sent me back again with nothing; why do you give me the name Naomi, seeing that the Lord has given witness against me, and the Ruler of all has sent sorrow on me?

bbe@Ruth:2:1 @And Naomi had a relation of her husband, a man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.

bbe@Ruth:2:14 @And at meal-time Boaz said to her, Come here, and take some of the bread, and put your bit into the wine. And she took her seat among the grain-cutters: and he gave her dry grain, and she took it, and there was more than enough for her meal.

bbe@Ruth:2:20 @And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, May the blessing of the Lord, who has at all times been kind to the living and to the dead, be on him. And Naomi said to her, The man is of our family, one of our near relations.

bbe@Ruth:2:21 @And Ruth the Moabitess said, Truly, he said to me, Keep near my young men till all my grain is cut.

bbe@Ruth:3:3 @So take a bath, and, after rubbing your body with sweet oil, put on your best robe, and go down to the grain-floor; but do not let him see you till he has come to the end of his meal.

bbe@Ruth:3:5 @And she said, I will do all you say.

bbe@Ruth:3:6 @So she went down to the grain-floor and did all her mother-in-law had said to her.

bbe@Ruth:3:10 @And he said, May the Lord give you his blessing, my daughter: even better than what you did at the first is this last kind act you have done, in not going after young men, with or without wealth

bbe@Ruth:3:11 @And now, my daughter, have no fear; I will do for you whatever you say: for it is clear to all my townspeople that you are a woman of virtue.

bbe@Ruth:3:16 @And when she came back her mother-in-law said to her, How did it go with you, my daughter? And she gave her an account of all the man had done to her.

bbe@Ruth:4:1 @And Boaz went up to the public place of the town, and took his seat there: and the near relation of whom he had been talking came by; and Boaz, crying out to him by name, said, Come and be seated here. And he came and was seated.

bbe@Ruth:4:4 @And it was in my mind to give you the chance of taking it, with the approval of those seated here and of the responsible men of my people. If you are ready to do what it is right for a relation to do, then do it: but if you will not do it, say so to me now; for there is no one who has the right to do it but you, and after you myself. And he said, I will do it.

bbe@Ruth:4:9 @Then Boaz said to the responsible men and to all the people, You are witnesses today that I have taken at a price from Naomi all the property which was Elimelech's, and everything which was Chilion's and Mahlon's.

bbe@Ruth:4:11 @And all the people who were in the public place, and the responsible men, said, We are witnesses. May the Lord make this woman, who is about to come into your house, like Rachel and Leah, which two were the builders of the house of Israel: and may you have wealth in Ephrathah, and be great in Beth-lehem;

bbe@Ruth:4:20 @And Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon;

bbe@Ruth:4:21 @And Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed;

bbe@1Samuel:1:4 @And when the day came for Elkanah to make his offering, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, their part of the feast:

bbe@1Samuel:1:11 @And she made an oath, and said, O Lord of armies, if you will truly take note of the sorrow of your servant, not turning away from me but keeping me in mind, and will give me a man-child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and his hair will never be cut.

bbe@1Samuel:1:21 @And the man Elkanah with all his family went up to make the year's offering to the Lord, and to give effect to his oath.

bbe@1Samuel:1:24 @Then when she had done so, she took him with her, with a three-year old ox and an ephah of meal and a skin full of wine, and took him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh: now the child was still very young.

bbe@1Samuel:1:28 @So I have given him to the Lord; for all his life he is the Lord's. Then he gave the Lord worship there.

bbe@1Samuel:2:1 @And Hannah, in prayer before the Lord, said, My heart is glad in the Lord, my horn is lifted up in the Lord: my mouth is open wide over my haters; because my joy is in your salvation.

bbe@1Samuel:2:7 @The Lord gives wealth and takes a man's goods from him: crushing men down and again lifting them up;

bbe@1Samuel:2:14 @This he put into the pot, and everything which came up on the hook the priest took for himself. This they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.

bbe@1Samuel:2:22 @Now Eli was very old; and he had news from time to time of what his sons were doing to all Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:2:23 @And he said to them, Why are you doing such things? for from all this people I get accounts of your evil ways.

bbe@1Samuel:2:26 @And the young Samuel, becoming older, had the approval of the Lord and of men.

bbe@1Samuel:2:28 @Did I take him out of all the tribes of Israel to be my priest and to go up to my altar to make the smoke of the offerings go up and to take up the ephod? Did I give to your father's family all the offerings made by fire by the children of Israel?

bbe@1Samuel:2:29 @Why then are you looking with envy on my offerings of meat and of meal which were ordered by my word, honouring your sons before me, and making yourselves fat with all the best of the offerings of Israel, my people?

bbe@1Samuel:2:30 @For this reason the Lord God of Israel has said, Truly I did say that your family and your father's people would have their place before me for ever: but now the Lord says, Let it not be so; I will give honour to those by whom I am honoured, and those who have no respect for me will be of small value in my eyes.

bbe@1Samuel:2:33 @But one man of your family will not be cut off by my hand, and his eyes will be made dark, and grief will be in his heart: and all the offspring of your family will come to their end by the sword of men.

bbe@1Samuel:3:14 @So I have made an oath to the family of Eli that no offering of meat or of meal which they may make will ever take away the sin of his family.

bbe@1Samuel:3:20 @And it was clear to all Israel from Dan to Beer-sheba that Samuel had been made a prophet of the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:4:3 @And when the people came back to their tents, the responsible men of Israel said, Why has the Lord let the Philistines overcome us today? Let us get the ark of the Lord's agreement here from Shiloh, so that it may be with us and give us salvation from the hands of those who are against us.

bbe@1Samuel:4:5 @And when the ark of the Lord's agreement came into the tent-circle, all Israel gave a great cry, so that the earth was sounding with it.

bbe@1Samuel:4:8 @Trouble is ours! Who will give us salvation from the hands of these great gods? These are the gods who sent all sorts of blows on the Egyptians in the waste land.

bbe@1Samuel:4:18 @And at these words about the ark of God, Eli, falling back off his seat by the side of the doorway into the town, came down on the earth so that his neck was broken and death overtook him, for he was an old man and of great weight. He had been judging Israel for forty years.

bbe@1Samuel:5:6 @But the hand of the Lord was hard on the people of Ashdod and he sent disease on them through all the country of Ashdod.

bbe@1Samuel:5:8 @So they sent for all the lords of the Philistines to come together there, and said, What are we to do with the ark of the God of Israel? And their answer was, Let the ark of the God of Israel be taken away to Gath. So they took the ark of the God of Israel away.

bbe@1Samuel:5:9 @But after they had taken it away, the hand of the Lord was stretched out against the town for its destruction: and the signs of disease came out on all the men of the town, small and great.

bbe@1Samuel:5:11 @So they sent and got together all the lords of the Philistines, and they said, Send away the ark of the God of Israel, and let it go back to its place, so that it may not be the cause of death to us and to our people: for there was a great fear of death through all the town; the hand of God was very hard on them there.

bbe@1Samuel:6:13 @And the people of Beth-shemesh were cutting their grain in the valley, and lifting up their eyes they saw the ark and were full of joy when they saw it.

bbe@1Samuel:6:18 @And the gold mice, one for every town of the Philistines, the property of the five lords, walled towns as well as country places: and the great stone where they put the ark of the Lord is still in the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite to this day.

bbe@1Samuel:7:2 @And the ark was in Kiriath-jearim for a long time, as much as twenty years: and all Israel was searching after the Lord with weeping.

bbe@1Samuel:7:3 @Then Samuel said to all Israel, If with all your hearts you would come back to the Lord, then put away all the strange gods and the Astartes from among you, and let your hearts be turned to the Lord, and be servants to him only: and he will make you safe from the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:7:4 @So the children of Israel gave up the worship of Baal and Astarte, and became worshippers of the Lord only.

bbe@1Samuel:7:5 @Then Samuel said, Let all Israel come to Mizpah and I will make prayer to the Lord for you.

bbe@1Samuel:7:9 @And Samuel took a young lamb, offering all of it as a burned offering to the Lord; and Samuel made prayers to the Lord for Israel and the Lord gave him an answer.

bbe@1Samuel:7:13 @So the Philistines were overcome, and did not come into the country of Israel again: and all the days of Samuel the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:7:14 @And the towns which the Philistines had taken were given back to Israel, from Ekron to Gath, and all the country round them Israel made free from the power of the Philistines. And there was peace between Israel and the Amorites.

bbe@1Samuel:7:15 @And Samuel was judge of Israel all the days of his life.

bbe@1Samuel:7:16 @From year to year he went in turn to Beth-el and Gilgal and Mizpah, judging Israel in all those places

bbe@1Samuel:7:17 @And his base was at Ramah, where his house was; there he was judge of Israel and there he made an altar to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:8:4 @Then all the responsible men of Israel got together and went to Samuel at Ramah,

bbe@1Samuel:8:10 @And Samuel said all these words of the Lord to the people who were desiring a king.

bbe@1Samuel:8:14 @He will take your fields and your vine-gardens and your olive-gardens, all the best of them, and give them to his servants.

bbe@1Samuel:8:21 @Then Samuel, after hearing all the people had to say, went and gave an account of it to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:9:1 @Now there was a man of Benjamin named Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a man of wealth.

bbe@1Samuel:9:2 @He had a son named Saul, a specially good-looking young man; there was no one better-looking among the children of Israel: he was taller by a head than any other of the people.

bbe@1Samuel:9:4 @So they went through the hill-country of Ephraim and through the land of Shalishah, but they saw no sign of them: then they went through the land of Shaalim, but they were not there: and they went through the land of the Benjamites, but they did not come across them.

bbe@1Samuel:9:7 @Then Saul said to his servant, But if we go, what are we to take the man? all our bread is gone, and we have no offering to take to the man of God: what are we to do?

bbe@1Samuel:9:19 @Then Samuel said to Saul, I am the seer; go up before me to the high place and take food with me today: and in the morning I will let you go, after opening to you all the secrets of your heart.

bbe@1Samuel:9:21 @And Saul said, Am I not a man of Benjamin, the smallest of all the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of the families of Benjamin? why then do you say these words to me?

bbe@1Samuel:9:22 @Then Samuel took Saul and his servant into the guest room, and made them take the chief place among all the guests who were there, about thirty persons.

bbe@1Samuel:10:8 @Then you are to go down before me to Gilgal, where I will come to you, for the offering of burned offerings and peace-offerings: go on waiting there for seven days till I come to you and make clear to you what you have to do.

bbe@1Samuel:10:9 @And it came about, that when he went away from Samuel, God gave him a changed heart: and all those signs took place that day

bbe@1Samuel:10:18 @And he said to the children of Israel, The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, I took Israel out of Egypt, and made you free from the hands of the Egyptians and from all the kingdoms which kept you down:

bbe@1Samuel:10:19 @But today you are turned away from your God, who himself has been your saviour from all your troubles and sorrows; and you have said to him, Put a king over us. So now, take your places before the Lord by your tribes and by your thousands.

bbe@1Samuel:10:20 @So Samuel made all the tribes of Israel come near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.

bbe@1Samuel:10:23 @So they went quickly and made him come out; and when he took his place among the people, he was taller by a head than any of the people.

bbe@1Samuel:10:24 @And Samuel said to all the people, Do you see the man of the Lord's selection, how there is no other like him among all the people? And all the people with loud cries said, Long life to the king!

bbe@1Samuel:10:25 @Then Samuel gave the people the laws of the kingdom, writing them in a book which he put in a safe place before the Lord. And Samuel sent all the people away, every man to his house.

bbe@1Samuel:11:1 @Then about a month after this, Nahash the Ammonite came up and put his forces in position for attacking Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, Make an agreement with us and we will be your servants.

bbe@1Samuel:11:2 @And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, I will make an agreement with you on this condition, that all your right eyes are put out; so that I may make it a cause of shame to all Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:11:4 @So they sent representatives to Saul's town Gibeah, and these gave the news to the people: and all the people gave themselves to weeping.

bbe@1Samuel:11:7 @And he took two oxen and, cutting them up, sent them through all the land of Israel by the hand of runners, saying, If any man does not come out after Saul and Samuel, this will be done to his oxen. And the fear of the Lord came on the people and they came out like one man.

bbe@1Samuel:11:14 @Then Samuel said to the people, Come, let us go to Gilgal and there make the kingdom strong in the hands of Saul.

bbe@1Samuel:11:15 @So all the people went to Gilgal; and there in Gilgal they made Saul king before the Lord; and peace-offerings were offered before the Lord; and there Saul and all the men of Israel were glad with great joy.

bbe@1Samuel:12:1 @And Samuel said to all Israel, You see that I have given ear to everything you said to me, and have made a king over you.

bbe@1Samuel:12:3 @Here I am: give witness against me before the Lord and before the man on whom he has put the holy oil: whose ox or ass have I taken? to whom have I been untrue? who has been crushed down by me? from whose hand have I taken a price for the blinding of my eyes? I will give it all back to you.

bbe@1Samuel:12:9 @But they were false to the Lord their God, and he gave them up into the hands of Sisera, captain of the army of Jabin, king of Hazor, and into the hands of the Philistines, and into the hands of the king of Moab, who made war against them.

bbe@1Samuel:12:10 @Then crying out to the Lord, they said, We have done evil, because we have been turned away from the Lord, worshipping the Baals and the Astartes: but now, make us safe from those who are against us and we will be your servants.

bbe@1Samuel:12:11 @So the Lord sent Jerubbaal and Barak and Jephthah and Samuel and took you out of the power of those who were fighting against you on every side, and made you safe.

bbe@1Samuel:12:14 @If in the fear of the Lord you are his servants, hearing his voice and not going against the orders of the Lord, but being true to the Lord your God, you and the king ruling over you, then all will be well:

bbe@1Samuel:12:18 @So Samuel made prayer to the Lord; and the Lord sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people were in fear of the Lord and of Samuel.

bbe@1Samuel:12:19 @And all the people said to Samuel, Make prayer for us to the Lord your God so that death may not overtake us: for in addition to all our sins we have done this evil, in desiring a king.

bbe@1Samuel:12:20 @Then Samuel said to the people, Have no fear: truly you have done evil, but do not be turned away from the Lord; be his servants with all your heart;

bbe@1Samuel:12:21 @And do not go from the right way turning to those false gods in which there is no profit and no salvation, for they are false.

bbe@1Samuel:12:24 @Only go in the fear of the Lord, and be his true servants with all your heart, keeping in mind what great things he has done for you.

bbe@1Samuel:13:3 @And Jonathan made an attack on the armed force of the Philistines stationed at Gibeah; and news was given to the Philistines that the Hebrews were turned against them. And Saul had a horn sounded through all the land,

bbe@1Samuel:13:4 @And all Israel had the news that Saul had made an attack on the Philistines, and that Israel was bitterly hated by the Philistines. And the people came together after Saul to Gilgal.

bbe@1Samuel:13:7 @And a great number of the people had gone over Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but Saul was still in Gilgal, and all the people went after him shaking in fear.

bbe@1Samuel:13:8 @And he went on waiting there for seven days, the time fixed by Samuel: but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were starting to go away from him.

bbe@1Samuel:13:12 @I said, Now the Philistines will come down on me at Gilgal, and I have made no prayer for help to the Lord: and so, forcing myself to do it, I made a burned offering.

bbe@1Samuel:13:15 @Then Samuel went up from Gilgal and the rest of the people went up after Saul against the men of war, and they came from Gilgal to Gibeah in the land of Benjamin: and Saul took the number of the people who were with him, about six hundred men

bbe@1Samuel:13:17 @And three bands of men came out from the Philistines to make an attack; one band went by the road which goes to Ophrah, into the land of Shual:

bbe@1Samuel:13:18 @And another went in the direction of Beth-horon: and another went by the hill looking down on the valley of Zeboiim, in the direction of the waste land.

bbe@1Samuel:13:19 @Now there was no iron-worker in all the land of Israel: for the Philistines said, For fear the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears:

bbe@1Samuel:13:20 @But all the Israelites had to go to the Philistines to get their ploughs and blades and axes and hooks made sharp;

bbe@1Samuel:14:6 @And Jonathan said to his young servant who had his arms, Come, let us go over to the armies of these men who have no circumcision: it may be that the Lord will give us help, for there is no limit to his power; the Lord is able to give salvation by a great army or by a small band.

bbe@1Samuel:14:14 @And at their first attack, Jonathan and his servant put to the sword about twenty men, all inside the space of half an acre of land.

bbe@1Samuel:14:15 @And there was great fear in the tents and in the field and among all the men of the armed force, and the attackers were shaking with fear; even the earth was moved with a great shaking and there was a fear as from God.

bbe@1Samuel:14:16 @And the watchmen of Saul, looking out from Geba in the land of Benjamin, saw all the army flowing away and running here and there.

bbe@1Samuel:14:19 @Now while Saul was talking to the priest, the noise in the tents of the Philistines became louder and louder; and Saul said to the priest, Take back your hand.

bbe@1Samuel:14:20 @And Saul and all the people with him came together and went forward to the fight: and every man's sword was turned against the man at his side, and there was a very great noise.

bbe@1Samuel:14:22 @And all the men of Israel who had taken cover in the hill-country of Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines had been put to flight, went after them, attacking them.

bbe@1Samuel:14:24 @And all the people were with Saul, about twenty thousand men, and the fight was general through all the hill-country of Ephraim; but Saul made a great error that day, by putting the people under an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed who takes food before evening comes and I have given punishment to those who are against me. So the people had not a taste of food.

bbe@1Samuel:14:25 @And there was honey on the face of the field, and all the people came to the honey, the bees having gone from it;

bbe@1Samuel:14:31 @That day they overcame the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were feeble from need of food.

bbe@1Samuel:14:32 @And rushing at the goods taken in the fight, the people took oxen and sheep and young oxen, and put them to death there on the earth, and had a meal, taking the flesh with the blood in it.

bbe@1Samuel:14:34 @And Saul said, Go about among the people and say to them, Let every man come here to me with his ox and his sheep, and put them to death here, and take his meal: do no sin against the Lord by taking the blood with the flesh. So all the people took their oxen with them that night and put them to death there.

bbe@1Samuel:14:35 @And Saul put up an altar to the Lord: this was the first altar which he put up to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:14:38 @And Saul said, Come near, all you chiefs of the people, and let us get word from God and see in whom is this sin today.

bbe@1Samuel:14:39 @For, by the living Lord, the saviour of Israel, even if the sinner is Jonathan, my son, death will certainly be his fate. But not a man among all the people gave him any answer.

bbe@1Samuel:14:40 @Then he said to all Israel, You be on one side, and I with Jonathan my son will be on the other side. And the people said to Saul, Do whatever seems good to you.

bbe@1Samuel:14:45 @And the people said to Saul, Is death to come to Jonathan, the worker of this great salvation for Israel? Let it not be so: by the living Lord, not one hair of his head is to be touched, for he has been working with God today. So the people kept Jonathan from death.

bbe@1Samuel:14:48 @And he did great things, and overcame the Amalekites, and made Israel safe from the hands of their attackers.

bbe@1Samuel:14:49 @Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan and Ishvi and Malchi-shua; and these are the names of his daughters: the older was named Merab and the younger Michal;

bbe@1Samuel:14:52 @All through the life of Saul there was bitter war against the Philistines; and whenever Saul saw any strong man or any good fighting man, he kept him near himself.

bbe@1Samuel:15:2 @The Lord of armies says, I will give punishment to Amalek for what he did to Israel, fighting against him on the way when Israel came out of Egypt.

bbe@1Samuel:15:3 @Go now and put Amalek to the sword, putting to the curse all they have, without mercy: put to death every man and woman, every child and baby at the breast, every ox and sheep, camel and ass.

bbe@1Samuel:15:5 @And Saul came to the town of Amalek, and took up his position in the valley secretly.

bbe@1Samuel:15:6 @And Saul said to the Kenites, Go away, take yourselves out from among the Amalekites, or destruction will overtake you with them: for you were kind to the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt. So the Kenites went away from among the Amalekites.

bbe@1Samuel:15:7 @And Saul made an attack on the Amalekites from Havilah on the road to Shur, which is before Egypt.

bbe@1Samuel:15:8 @He took Agag, king of the Amalekites, prisoner, and put all the people to the sword without mercy.

bbe@1Samuel:15:11 @It is no longer my pleasure for Saul to be king; for he is turned back from going in my ways, and has not done my orders. And Samuel was very sad, crying to the Lord in prayer all night.

bbe@1Samuel:15:12 @And early in the morning he got up and went to Saul; and word was given to Samuel that Saul had come to Carmel and put up a pillar, and had gone from there down to Gilgal.

bbe@1Samuel:15:15 @And Saul said, They have taken them from the Amalekites: for the people have kept the best of the sheep and of the oxen as an offering to the Lord your God; all the rest we have given up to destruction.

bbe@1Samuel:15:18 @And the Lord sent you on a journey and said, Go and put to the curse those sinners, the Amalekites, fighting against them till every one is dead.

bbe@1Samuel:15:20 @And Saul said, Truly, I have done the orders of the Lord and have gone the way the Lord sent me; I have taken Agag, the king of Amalek, and have given the Amalekites up to destruction.

bbe@1Samuel:15:21 @But the people took some of their goods, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which were put to the curse, to make an offering of them to the Lord your God in Gilgal.

bbe@1Samuel:15:29 @And further, the Glory of Israel will not say what is false, and his purpose may not be changed: for he is not a man, whose purpose may be changed.

bbe@1Samuel:15:32 @Then Samuel said, Make Agag, the king of the Amalekites, come here to me. And Agag came to him shaking with fear. And Agag said, Truly the pain of death is past.

bbe@1Samuel:15:33 @And Samuel said, As your sword has made women without children, so now your mother will be without children among women. And Agag was cut up by Samuel, bone from bone, before the Lord in Gilgal.

bbe@1Samuel:16:7 @But the Lord said to Samuel, Do not take note of his face or how tall he is, because I will not have him: for the Lord's view is not man's; man takes note of the outer form, but the Lord sees the heart.

bbe@1Samuel:16:11 @Then Samuel said to Jesse, Are all your children here? And he said, There is still the youngest, and he is looking after the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and make him come here: for we will not take our seats till he is here.

bbe@1Samuel:17:2 @And Saul and the men of Israel came together and took up their position in the valley of Elah, and put their forces in order against the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:17:3 @The Philistines were stationed on the mountain on one side and Israel on the mountain on the other side: and there was a valley between them.

bbe@1Samuel:17:4 @And a fighter came out from the tents of the Philistines, named Goliath of Gath; he was more than six cubits tall.

bbe@1Samuel:17:5 @And he had a head-dress of brass on his head, and he was dressed in a coat of metal, the weight of which was five thousand shekels of brass.

bbe@1Samuel:17:11 @And Saul and all Israel, hearing those words of the Philistine, were troubled and full of fear.

bbe@1Samuel:17:19 @Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:17:23 @And while he was talking to them, the fighter, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came out from the Philistines' lines and said the same words, in David's hearing

bbe@1Samuel:17:24 @And all the men of Israel, when they saw him, went in flight, overcome with fear.

bbe@1Samuel:17:25 @And the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man? Clearly he has come out to put shame on Israel: and it is certain that if any man overcomes him, the king will give that man great wealth, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's family free in Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:17:38 @Then Saul gave David his clothing of war, and put a head-dress of brass on his head and had him clothed with a coat of metal.

bbe@1Samuel:17:39 @And David took Saul's sword and put the band round him over the metal coat, and was unable to go forward; for he was not used to them. Then David said to Saul, It is not possible for me to go out with these, for I am not used to them. So David took them off.

bbe@1Samuel:17:43 @And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you come out to me with sticks? And the Philistine put curses on David by all his gods.

bbe@1Samuel:17:46 @This day the Lord will give you up into my hands, and I will overcome you, and take your head off you; and I will give the bodies of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth today, so that all the earth may see that Israel has a God;

bbe@1Samuel:17:47 @And all these people who are here today may see that the Lord does not give salvation by sword and spear: for the fight is the Lord's, and he will give you up into our hands.

bbe@1Samuel:17:49 @And David put his hand in his bag and took out a stone and sent it from his leather band straight at the Philistine, and the stone went deep into his brow, and he went down to the earth, falling on his face.

bbe@1Samuel:17:52 @And the men of Israel and of Judah got up, and gave a cry, and went after the Philistines as far as Gath and the town doors of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines were falling down by the road from Shaaraim all the way to Gath and Ekron.

bbe@1Samuel:17:54 @And David took the head of the Philistine to Jerusalem, but the metal war-dress and the arms he put in his tent.

bbe@1Samuel:18:1 @Now after David's talk with Saul was ended, the soul of Jonathan was joined with the soul of David, and David became as dear to him as his very life.

bbe@1Samuel:18:4 @And Jonathan took off the robe he had on and gave it to David, with all his military dress, even to his sword and his bow and the band round his body.

bbe@1Samuel:18:5 @And David went wherever Saul sent him, and did wisely: and Saul put him at the head of his men of war, and this was pleasing to all the people as well as to Saul's servants.

bbe@1Samuel:18:6 @Now on their way, when David came back after the destruction of the Philistine, the women came out of all the towns of Israel, with songs and dances, meeting David with melody and joy and instruments of music.

bbe@1Samuel:18:11 @And Saul, balancing the spear in his hand, said, I will give David a blow, pinning him to the wall. And David got away from him twice.

bbe@1Samuel:18:14 @And in all his undertakings David did wisely; and the Lord was with him.

bbe@1Samuel:18:16 @But David was loved by all Israel and Judah, for he went out and came in before them.

bbe@1Samuel:18:20 @And Saul's daughter Michal was in love with David: and Saul had word of it and was pleased.

bbe@1Samuel:18:22 @And Saul gave his servants orders saying, Have talk with David secretly and say to him, See how the king has delight in you, and how you are loved by all his servants: then be the king's son-in-law.

bbe@1Samuel:18:23 @And Saul's servants said these things to David. And David said, Does it seem to you a small thing to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, of no great name?

bbe@1Samuel:18:27 @So David and his men got up and went, and put to death two hundred of the Philistines; and David took their private parts and gave the full number of them to the king, so that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for his wife.

bbe@1Samuel:18:28 @And it was clear to Saul that the Lord was with David; and he was loved by all Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:18:29 @And Saul's fear of David became all the greater, and he went on hating him, day by day.

bbe@1Samuel:18:30 @Then the rulers of the Philistines went out to war: and whenever they went out, David did more wisely than all the other servants of Saul, so that his name became greatly honoured.

bbe@1Samuel:19:1 @And Saul gave orders to his son Jonathan and to all his servants to put David to death. But Saul's son Jonathan had great delight in David.

bbe@1Samuel:19:3 @And I will go out and take my place by my father's side in the field near where you are; and I will get into talk with my father about you, and when I see how things are, I will give you word.

bbe@1Samuel:19:4 @And Jonathan gave his father Saul a good account of David, and said to him, Let not the king do wrong against his servant, against David; because he has done you no wrong, and all his acts have had a good outcome for you:

bbe@1Samuel:19:5 @For he put his life in danger and overcame the Philistine, and the Lord gave all Israel salvation: you saw it and were glad: why then are you sinning against him who has done no wrong, desiring the death of David without cause?

bbe@1Samuel:19:7 @Then Jonathan sent for David and gave him word of all these things. And Jonathan took David to Saul, who kept him by his side as in the past.

bbe@1Samuel:19:10 @And Saul would have sent his spear through him, pinning him to the wall, but he got away and the spear went into the wall: and that night David went in flight and got away

bbe@1Samuel:19:11 @Then in that night Saul sent men to David's house to keep watch on him so as to put him to death in the morning: and David's wife Michal said to him, If you do not go away to a safe place tonight you will be put to death in the morning.

bbe@1Samuel:19:12 @So Michal let David down through the window, and he went in flight and got away.

bbe@1Samuel:19:13 @Then Michal took the image and put it in the bed, with a cushion of goat's hair at its head, and she put clothing over it.

bbe@1Samuel:19:17 @And Saul said to Michal, why have you been false to me, letting my hater go and get safely away? And in answer Michal said to Saul, He said to me, Let me go, or I will put you to death.

bbe@1Samuel:19:18 @So David went in flight and got away and came to Ramah, to Samuel, and gave him an account of all Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and were living in Naioth.

bbe@1Samuel:19:24 @And he took off his clothing, acting like a prophet before Samuel, and falling down he was stretched out, without his clothing, all that day and all that night. This is the reason for the saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?

bbe@1Samuel:20:2 @And he said to him, Far be the thought: you will not be put to death: see, my father does nothing, great or small, without giving me word of it: would he keep this secret from me? It is not so.

bbe@1Samuel:20:12 @And Jonathan said to David, May the Lord, the God of Israel, be witness; when I have had a chance of talking to my father, about this time tomorrow, if his feelings to David are good, will I not send and give you the news?

bbe@1Samuel:20:15 @And let not your mercy ever be cut off from my family, even when the Lord has sent destruction on all David's haters, cutting them off from the face of the earth.

bbe@1Samuel:20:19 @And on the third day it will be specially noted, and you will go to the place where you took cover when the other business was in hand, waiting by the hill over there.

bbe@1Samuel:20:23 @As for what you and I were talking of, the Lord is between you and me for ever.

bbe@1Samuel:20:25 @And the king took his seat, as at other times, by the wall: and Jonathan was in front, and Abner was seated by Saul's side, but there was no one in David's seat.

bbe@1Samuel:20:41 @And when the boy had gone, David came from his secret place by the hill, and falling to the earth went down on his face three times: and they gave one another a kiss, weeping together, till David's grief was the greater.

bbe@1Samuel:21:9 @And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you put to death in the valley of Elah, is here folded in a cloth at the back of the ephod: take that, if you will, for there is no other sword here. And David said, there is no other sword like that; give it to me.

bbe@1Samuel:21:15 @Are there not enough unbalanced men about me, that you have let this person come and do such tricks before me? is such a man to come into my house?

bbe@1Samuel:22:1 @So David went away from there and took cover in a strong place at Adullam; and his brothers and all his father's people, hearing of it, went down to him there.

bbe@1Samuel:22:6 @And news was given to Saul that David had been seen, and the men who were with him: now Saul was in Gibeah, seated under the tree in the high place, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were in their places before him.

bbe@1Samuel:22:7 @Then Saul said to his servants who were there about him, Give ear now, you Benjamites; will the son of Jesse give to every one of you fields and vine-gardens, will he make you all captains of hundreds and captains of thousands;

bbe@1Samuel:22:8 @That all of you have made designs against me, and not one of you gave me word when my son made an agreement with the son of Jesse, and not one of you has pity for me or has made my eyes open to the fact that my servant has been moved by my son against me, as at this day?

bbe@1Samuel:22:11 @Then the king sent for Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and for all the men of his father's family who were priests in Nob: and they all came to the king.

bbe@1Samuel:22:14 @Then Ahimelech answering said to the king, Who among all your servants is so true to you as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and is a captain of your armed men, and has a place of honour in your house?

bbe@1Samuel:22:15 @Is this the first time I have got directions from God for him? Far be the thought! let the king make no such statement against his servant or my father's family, for your servant has no knowledge, great or small, of this thing.

bbe@1Samuel:22:16 @And the king said, You will certainly be put to death, Ahimelech, you and all your father's family

bbe@1Samuel:22:19 @And Nob, the town of the priests, he put to the sword, all the men and women, children and babies at the breast, and oxen and asses and sheep.

bbe@1Samuel:22:22 @And David said to Abiathar, I was certain that day, when Doeg the Edomite was there, that he would take the news to Saul: I am responsible for the lives of all your father's family.

bbe@1Samuel:23:2 @So David, questioning the Lord, said, Am I to go and make an attack on these Philistines? And the Lord said to David, Go and make an attack on the Philistines so that Keilah may be kept from falling into their hands.

bbe@1Samuel:23:7 @And news was given to Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, Now God has given him into my hands; for by going into a walled town with locked doors, he has let himself be shut in.

bbe@1Samuel:23:8 @And Saul sent for all the people to come to the fight, and go down to Keilah to make an attack on David and his men.

bbe@1Samuel:23:23 @So take care to get knowledge of all the secret places where he is taking cover, and be certain to come back to me, and I will go with you: and without doubt, if he is anywhere in the land, I will get him, among all the families of Judah.

bbe@1Samuel:24:2 @Then Saul took three thousand of the best men out of all Israel, and went in search of David and his men on the rocks of the mountain goats.

bbe@1Samuel:24:15 @So let the Lord be judge, and give a decision between me and you, and see and give support to my cause, and keep me from falling into your hands.

bbe@1Samuel:25:1 @And death came to Samuel; and all Israel came together, weeping for him, and put his body in its resting-place in his house at Ramah. Then David went down to the waste land of Maon.

bbe@1Samuel:25:3 @Now this man was named Nabal, and his wife's name was Abigail: she was a woman of good sense and pleasing looks: but the man was cruel and evil in his ways; he was of the family of Caleb.

bbe@1Samuel:25:4 @And David had word in the waste land that Nabal was cutting the wool of his sheep.

bbe@1Samuel:25:5 @And David sent ten young men, and said to them, Go up to Carmel and go to Nabal, and say kind words to him in my name;

bbe@1Samuel:25:6 @And say this to my brother, May all be well for you: peace be to you and your house and all you have.

bbe@1Samuel:25:9 @And when David's young men came, they said all this to Nabal, in David's name, and said nothing more

bbe@1Samuel:25:10 @And Nabal gave them his answer and said, Who is David? who is the son of Jesse? there are a number of servants in these days running away from their masters.

bbe@1Samuel:25:14 @But one of the young men said to Nabal's wife Abigail, David sent men from the waste land to say kind words to our master, and he gave them a rough answer.

bbe@1Samuel:25:16 @But day and night they were like a wall round us while we were with them, looking after the sheep.

bbe@1Samuel:25:17 @So now, give thought to what you are going to do; for evil is in store for our master and all his house: for he is such a good-for-nothing person that it is not possible to say anything to him.

bbe@1Samuel:25:19 @And she said to her young men, Go on in front of me and I will come after you. But she said nothing to her husband Nabal.

bbe@1Samuel:25:22 @May God's punishment be on David, if when morning comes there is so much as one male of his people still living.

bbe@1Samuel:25:23 @And when Abigail saw David, she quickly got off her ass, falling down on her face before him.

bbe@1Samuel:25:24 @And falling at his feet she said, May the wrong be on me, my lord, on me: let your servant say a word to you, and give ear to the words of your servant.

bbe@1Samuel:25:25 @Let my lord give no attention to Nabal, that good-for-nothing: for as his name is, so is he, a man without sense: but I, your servant, did not see the young men whom my lord sent.

bbe@1Samuel:25:26 @So now, my lord, by the living God and by your living soul, seeing that the Lord has kept you from the crime of blood and from taking into your hands the punishment for your wrongs, may all your haters, and those who would do evil to my lord, be like Nabal.

bbe@1Samuel:25:28 @And may the sin of your servant have forgiveness: for the Lord will certainly make your family strong, because my lord is fighting in the Lord's war; and no evil will be seen in you all your days.

bbe@1Samuel:25:30 @And when the Lord has done for my lord all those good things which he has said he will do for you, and has made you a ruler over Israel;

bbe@1Samuel:25:34 @For truly, by the living Lord, the God of Israel, who has kept me from doing you evil, if you had not been so quick in coming to me and meeting me, by dawn there would not have been in Nabal's house so much as one male living.

bbe@1Samuel:25:36 @And Abigail went back to Nabal; and he was feasting in his house like a king; and Nabal's heart was full of joy, for he had taken much wine; so she said nothing to him till dawn came.

bbe@1Samuel:25:37 @And in the morning, when the effect of the wine was gone, Nabal's wife gave him an account of all these things, and all the heart went out of him, and he became like stone.

bbe@1Samuel:25:38 @And about ten days after, the Lord sent disease on Nabal and death came to him.

bbe@1Samuel:25:39 @And David, hearing that Nabal was dead, said, May the Lord be praised, who has taken up my cause against Nabal for the shame which he put on me, and has kept back his servant from evil, and has sent on Nabal's head the reward of his evil-doing. And David sent word to Abigail, desiring to take her as his wife.

bbe@1Samuel:25:44 @Now Saul had given his daughter Michal, David's wife, to Palti the son of Laish of Gallim.

bbe@1Samuel:26:5 @And David got up and came to the place where Saul's tents were: and David had a view of the place where Saul was sleeping with Abner, the son of Ner, the captain of his army: and Saul was sleeping inside the ring of carts, and the tents of the people were all round him.

bbe@1Samuel:26:10 @And David said, By the living Lord, the Lord will send destruction on him; the natural day of his death will come, or he will go into the fight and come to his end.

bbe@1Samuel:26:12 @So David took the spear and the vessel of water from Saul's head; and they got away without any man seeing them, or being conscious of their coming, or awaking; for they were all sleeping because a deep sleep from the Lord had come on them.

bbe@1Samuel:26:24 @And so, as your life was dear to me today, may my life be dear to the Lord, and may he make me free from all my troubles.

bbe@1Samuel:27:3 @And David and his men were living with Achish at Gath; every man had his family with him, and David had his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail of Carmel, who had been the wife of Nabal.

bbe@1Samuel:27:5 @Then David said to Achish, If now I have grace in your eyes, let me have a place in one of the smaller towns of your land, to be my living-place; for it is not right for your servant to be living with you in the king's town.

bbe@1Samuel:27:8 @And David and his men went up and made attacks on the Geshurites and the Girzites and the Amalekites; for these were the people who were living in the land from Telam on the way to Shur, as far as Egypt.

bbe@1Samuel:27:11 @Not one living man or woman did David ever take back with him to Gath, fearing that they might give an account of what had taken place, and say, This is what David did, and so has he been doing all the time while he has been living in the land of the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:27:12 @And Achish had belief in what David said, saying, He has made himself hated by all his people Israel, and so he will be my servant for ever.

bbe@1Samuel:28:3 @Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel, after weeping for him, had put his body in its last resting-place in Ramah, his town. And Saul had put away from the land all those who had control of spirits and who made use of secret arts.

bbe@1Samuel:28:4 @And the Philistines came together and put their forces in position in Shunem; and Saul got all Israel together and they took up their positions in Gilboa.

bbe@1Samuel:28:18 @Because you did not do what the Lord said, and did not give effect to his burning wrath against Amalek. So the Lord has done this thing to you today.

bbe@1Samuel:28:20 @Then Saul went down flat on the earth, and was full of fear because of Samuel's words: and there was no strength in him, for he had taken no food all that day or all that night.

bbe@1Samuel:28:24 @And the woman had in the house a young cow, made fat for food; and she put it to death straight away; and she took meal and got it mixed and made unleavened bread;

bbe@1Samuel:28:25 @And she put it before Saul and his servants, and they had a meal. Then they got up and went away the same night.

bbe@1Samuel:29:1 @Now the Philistines got all their army together at Aphek: and the Israelites put their forces in position by the fountain in Jezreel.

bbe@1Samuel:29:4 @But the rulers of the Philistines were angry with him, and said to him, Make the man go back to the place you have given him; do not let him go down with us to the fight, or he may be turned against us and be false to us: for how will this man make peace with his lord? will it not be with the heads of these men?

bbe@1Samuel:30:1 @Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the South and on Ziklag, and had overcome Ziklag and put it on fire;

bbe@1Samuel:30:2 @And had made the women and all who were there, small and great, prisoners: they had not put any of them to death, but had taken them all away.

bbe@1Samuel:30:5 @And David's two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel, had been made prisoners.

bbe@1Samuel:30:6 @And David was greatly troubled; for the people were talking of stoning him, because their hearts were bitter, every man sorrowing for his sons and his daughters: but David made himself strong in the Lord his God.

bbe@1Samuel:30:11 @And in the fields they saw an Egyptian whom they took to David, and they gave him bread, and he had a meal, and they gave him water for drink;

bbe@1Samuel:30:13 @And David said to him, Whose man are you and where do you come from? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master went on without me because three days back I became ill.

bbe@1Samuel:30:14 @We made an attack on the south part of the country of the Cherethites, and on the land which is Judah's, and on the south of Caleb; and we put Ziklag on fire.

bbe@1Samuel:30:16 @And when he had taken him down, they saw them all, seated about on all sides, feasting and drinking among all the mass of goods which they had taken from the land of the Philistines and the land of Judah.

bbe@1Samuel:30:18 @And David got back everything the Amalekites had taken; and he got back his two wives.

bbe@1Samuel:30:19 @There was no loss of anything, small or great, sons or daughters or goods or anything which they had taken away: David got it all back

bbe@1Samuel:30:20 @And they took all the flocks and herds, and driving them in front of him, said, These are David's.

bbe@1Samuel:30:24 @Who is going to give any attention to you in this question? for an equal part will be given to him who went to the fight and to him who was waiting by the goods: they are all to have the same.

bbe@1Samuel:30:31 @And in Hebron, and to all the places where David and his men had been living.

bbe@1Samuel:31:1 @Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel: and the men of Israel went in flight before the Philistines, falling down wounded in Mount Gilboa.

bbe@1Samuel:31:2 @And the Philistines overtook Saul and his sons; and they put to death Jonathan and Abinadab and Malchi-shua, the sons of Saul.

bbe@1Samuel:31:4 @Then Saul said to the servant who had the care of his arms, Take out your sword and put it through me, before these men without circumcision come and make sport of me. But his servant, full of fear, would not do so. Then Saul took out his sword, and falling on it, put an end to himself.

bbe@1Samuel:31:7 @And when the men of Israel across the valley and on the other side of Jordan saw that the army of Israel was in flight and that Saul and his sons were dead, they came out of their towns and went in flight; and the Philistines came and took them for themselves.

bbe@1Samuel:31:10 @His war-dress they put in the house of Astarte; and his body was fixed on the wall of Beth-shan.

bbe@1Samuel:31:12 @All the fighting men got up and, travelling all night, took Saul's body and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan; and they came to Jabesh and had them burned there.

bbe@2Samuel:1:1 @Now after the death of Saul, when David, having come back from the destruction of the Amalekites, had been in Ziklag for two days;

bbe@2Samuel:1:8 @And he said to me, Who are you? And I said, I am an Amalekite.

bbe@2Samuel:1:10 @So I put my foot on him and gave him his death-blow, because I was certain that he would not go on living after his fall: and I took the crown from his head and the band from his arm, and I have them here for my lord.

bbe@2Samuel:1:11 @Then David gave way to bitter grief, and so did all the men who were with him:

bbe@2Samuel:1:13 @And David said to the young man who had given him the news, Where do you come from? And he said, I am the son of a man from a strange land; I am an Amalekite.

bbe@2Samuel:2:2 @So David went there, taking with him his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.

bbe@2Samuel:2:3 @And David took all his men with him, every man with his family: and they were living in the towns round Hebron.

bbe@2Samuel:2:9 @And made him king over Gilead and the Asherites and over Jezreel and Ephraim and Benjamin, that is, over all Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:2:16 @And every one got the other by the head, driving his sword into the other's side, so they all went down together: and that place was named the Field of Sides, and it is in Gibeon.

bbe@2Samuel:2:23 @But still he did not go to one side: so Abner gave him a back blow in the stomach with his spear, so that the spear came out at his back; and he went down on the earth, wounded to death: and all those who came to the place where Asahel went down dead, came to a stop.

bbe@2Samuel:2:28 @So Joab had a horn sounded, and all the people came to a stop, and gave up going after Israel and fighting them.

bbe@2Samuel:2:29 @And all that night Abner and his men went through the Arabah; they went over Jordan and through all Bithron and came to Mahanaim.

bbe@2Samuel:2:30 @And Joab came back from fighting Abner: and when he had got all his men together, it was seen that nineteen of David's men, in addition to Asahel, were not with them.

bbe@2Samuel:2:32 @And they took Asahel's body and put it in the last resting-place of his father in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men, travelling all night, came to Hebron at dawn.

bbe@2Samuel:3:3 @And the second, Chileab, whose mother was Abigail, the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom, son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur;

bbe@2Samuel:3:4 @And the fourth, Adonijah, the son of Haggith; and the fifth, Shephatiah, the son of Abital;

bbe@2Samuel:3:8 @And Abner was very angry at the words of Ish-bosheth, and he said, Am I a dog's head of Judah? I am this day doing all in my power for the cause of your father Saul and for his brothers and his friends, and have not given you up into the hands of David, and now you say I have done wrong with a woman.

bbe@2Samuel:3:12 @And Abner sent men to David at Hebron, saying, Make an agreement with me, and I will give you my support in getting all Israel on your side.

bbe@2Samuel:3:13 @And he said, It is well; I will make an agreement with you, but on one condition, which is, that when you come before me, Saul's daughter Michal is to come with you; till she comes you will not see my face.

bbe@2Samuel:3:14 @And David sent men to Saul's son Ish-bosheth, saying, Give me back Michal, my wife, whom I made mine for the price of the private parts of a hundred Philistines.

bbe@2Samuel:3:15 @So Ish-bosheth sent and took her from her husband Paltiel, the son of Laish.

bbe@2Samuel:3:17 @Then Abner had a talk with the chief men of Israel, saying, In the past it was your desire to make David your king: so now, do it:

bbe@2Samuel:3:18 @For the Lord has said of David, By the hand of my servant David I will make my people Israel safe from the Philistines, and from all who are against them.

bbe@2Samuel:3:19 @And Abner said the same things to Benjamin: and he went to David in Hebron to make clear to him what seemed good to Israel and to all the people of Benjamin.

bbe@2Samuel:3:21 @And Abner said to David, Now I will go, and make all Israel come to my lord the king, so that they may make an agreement with you, and your kingdom may be as wide as your heart's desire. Then David sent Abner away and he went in peace.

bbe@2Samuel:3:25 @Is it not clear to you that Abner, the son of Ner, came with deceit to get knowledge of your going out and your coming in and of all you are doing?

bbe@2Samuel:3:29 @May it come on the head of Joab and all his father's family: among the men of Joab's family may there ever be some who are diseased or lepers, or who do the work of women, or are put to the sword, or are wasted from need of food!

bbe@2Samuel:3:31 @And David said to Joab and all the people who were with him, Go in grief and put haircloth about you, in sorrow for Abner. And King David went after the dead body.

bbe@2Samuel:3:32 @And they put Abner's body to rest in Hebron; and the king and all the people were weeping loudly by the resting-place of Abner's body.

bbe@2Samuel:3:34 @Your hands were free, your feet were not chained: like the downfall of a man before evil men, so was your fall. And the weeping of the people over him went on again.

bbe@2Samuel:3:36 @And all the people took note of it and were pleased: like everything the king did, it was pleasing to the people.

bbe@2Samuel:3:37 @So it was clear to Israel and to all the people on that day that the king was not responsible for the death of Abner, the son of Ner.

bbe@2Samuel:4:1 @And when Saul's son Ish-bosheth had news that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.

bbe@2Samuel:4:4 @Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son whose feet were damaged. He was five years old when news of the death of Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel, and the woman who took care of him took him up and went in flight: and while she was getting him away as quickly as she was able, he had a fall and his feet were damaged. His name was Mephibosheth.

bbe@2Samuel:4:7 @And when they came into the house, Ish-bosheth was stretched on his bed in his bedroom; and they made an attack on him and put him to death, and, cutting off his head, they took it with them and went by the road through the Arabah all night.

bbe@2Samuel:4:9 @And David made answer to Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, By the living Lord, who has kept me safe from all my trouble,

bbe@2Samuel:5:1 @Then all the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron and said, Truly, we are your bone and your flesh.

bbe@2Samuel:5:3 @So all the responsible men of Israel came to the king at Hebron; and King David made an agreement with them in Hebron before the Lord: and they put the holy oil on David and made him king over Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:5:5 @Ruling over Judah in Hebron for seven years and six months, and in Jerusalem, over all Israel and Judah, for thirty-three years.

bbe@2Samuel:5:6 @And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the people of the land: and they said to David, You will not come in here, but the blind and the feeble-footed will keep you out; for they said, David will not be able to come in here.

bbe@2Samuel:5:8 @And that day David said, Whoever makes an attack on the Jebusites, let him go up by the water-pipe, and put to death all the blind and feeble-footed who are hated by David. And this is why they say, The blind and feeble-footed may not come into the house.

bbe@2Samuel:5:9 @So David took the strong tower for his living-place, naming it the town of David. And David took in hand the building of the town all round, starting from the Millo.

bbe@2Samuel:5:13 @And David took more women and wives in Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron: and he had more sons and daughters.

bbe@2Samuel:5:14 @These are the names of those whose birth took place in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab and Nathan and Solomon

bbe@2Samuel:5:17 @And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over Israel, they all went up in search of David; and David, hearing of it, went down to the strong place.

bbe@2Samuel:5:18 @And when the Philistines came, they went in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.

bbe@2Samuel:5:20 @And David went to Baal-perazim, and overcame them there; and he said, The Lord has let the forces fighting against me be broken before me as a wall is broken by rushing waters. So that place was named Baal-perazim.

bbe@2Samuel:5:22 @And the Philistines came up again, and went in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.

bbe@2Samuel:6:1 @And David got together all the fighting-men of Israel to the number of thirty thousand;

bbe@2Samuel:6:2 @And David, and all the people who were with him, went to Baal of Judah to get the ark of God, over which the holy name is named, the name of the Lord of armies, whose place is between the winged ones.

bbe@2Samuel:6:5 @And David and all the men of Israel made melody before the Lord with all their power, with songs and with corded instruments and instruments of brass.

bbe@2Samuel:6:11 @And the ark of the Lord was in the house of Obed-edom the Gittite for three months: and the Lord sent a blessing on Obed-edom and all his family.

bbe@2Samuel:6:12 @And they said to King David, The blessing of the Lord is on the family of Obed-edom and on all he has, because of the ark of God. And David went and took the ark of God from the house of Obed-edom into the town of David with joy.

bbe@2Samuel:6:14 @And David, clothed in a linen ephod, was dancing before the Lord with all his strength

bbe@2Samuel:6:15 @So David and all the men of Israel took up the ark of the Lord with cries of joy and sounding of horns.

bbe@2Samuel:6:16 @And when the ark of the Lord came into the town of David, Michal, Saul's daughter, looking out of the window, saw King David dancing and jumping before the Lord; and to her mind he seemed foolish.

bbe@2Samuel:6:19 @And he gave to every man and woman among all the people, among all the masses of Israel, a cake of bread and a measure of wine and a cake of dry grapes. Then all the people went away, every man to his house.

bbe@2Samuel:6:20 @Then David came back to give a blessing to his family. And Michal, Saul's daughter, came out to him and said, How full of glory was the king of Israel today, who let himself be seen uncovered by his servant-girls like a foolish person uncovering himself without shame!

bbe@2Samuel:6:21 @And David said to Michal, I was dancing before the Lord, who put me over your father and all his sons, to make me a ruler over the people of the Lord, over his people Israel: and I will go on playing before the Lord;

bbe@2Samuel:6:22 @And I will do even worse than this, and make myself even lower in your eyes: but the servant-girls of whom you were talking will give me honour.

bbe@2Samuel:6:23 @And Michal, Saul's daughter, had no child till the day of her death.

bbe@2Samuel:7:7 @In all the places where I went with all the children of Israel, did I ever say to any of the judges of Israel, to whom I gave the care of my people Israel, Why have you not made me a house of cedar?

bbe@2Samuel:7:9 @And I have been with you wherever you went, cutting off before you all those who were against you; and I will make your name great, like the name of the greatest ones of the earth.

bbe@2Samuel:7:11 @From the time when I put judges over my people Israel; and I will give you peace from all who are against you. And the Lord says to you that he will make you the head of a line of kings.

bbe@2Samuel:7:17 @So Nathan gave David an account of all these words and this vision.

bbe@2Samuel:7:19 @And this was only a small thing to you, O Lord God; but your words have even been about the far-off future of your servant's family, O Lord God!

bbe@2Samuel:7:21 @Because of your word and from your heart, you have done all this great work, and let your servant see it.

bbe@2Samuel:8:7 @And David took their gold body-covers from the servants of Hadadezer and took them to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:8:9 @And when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer,

bbe@2Samuel:8:12 @The nations of Edom and Moab, and the children of Ammon and the Philistines and the Amalekites and the goods he had taken from Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah.

bbe@2Samuel:8:13 @And David got great honour for himself, when he came back, by the destruction of Edom in the valley of Salt, to the number of eighteen thousand men.

bbe@2Samuel:8:14 @And he put armed forces in Edom; all through Edom he had armed forces stationed, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

bbe@2Samuel:8:15 @And David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.

bbe@2Samuel:9:6 @And Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, came to David, and falling down on his face, gave him honour. And David said, Mephibosheth. And answering he said, Your servant is here.

bbe@2Samuel:9:7 @And David said to him, Have no fear: for truly I will be good to you, because of your father Jonathan, and I will give back to you all the land which was Saul's; and you will have a place at my table at all times.

bbe@2Samuel:9:9 @Then the king sent for Ziba, Saul's servant, and said to him, All the property of Saul and of his family I have given to your master's son.

bbe@2Samuel:9:10 @And you and your sons and your servants are to take care of the land for him, and get in the fruit of it, so that your master's son may have food: but Mephibosheth, your master's son, will have a place at my table at all times. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

bbe@2Samuel:9:12 @And Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica. And all the people living in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.

bbe@2Samuel:9:13 @So Mephibosheth went on living in Jerusalem; for he took all his meals at the king's table; and he had not the use of his feet.

bbe@2Samuel:10:4 @So Hanun took David's servants, and after cutting off half the hair on their chins, and cutting off the skirts of their robes up to the middle, he sent them away.

bbe@2Samuel:10:7 @And hearing of this, David sent Joab and all the army and the best fighting-men.

bbe@2Samuel:10:14 @And when the children of Ammon saw the flight of the Aramaeans, they themselves went in flight from Abishai, and came into the town. So Joab went back from fighting the children of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:10:17 @And word of this was given to David: and he got all Israel together and went over Jordan and came to Helam. And the Aramaeans put their forces in position against David, and made an attack on him.

bbe@2Samuel:10:19 @And when all the kings who were servants of Hadadezer saw that they were overcome by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their servants. So the Aramaeans, in fear, gave no more help to the children of Ammon.

bbe@2Samuel:11:1 @Now in the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, David sent Joab and his servants and all Israel with him; and they made waste the land of the children of Ammon, and took up their position before Rabbah, shutting it in. But David was still at Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:11:2 @Now one evening, David got up from his bed, and while he was walking on the roof of the king's house, he saw from there a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful.

bbe@2Samuel:11:9 @But Uriah took his rest at the door of the king's house, with all the servants of his lord, and did not go down to his house.

bbe@2Samuel:11:12 @And David said to Uriah, Be here today, and after that I will let you go. So Uriah was in Jerusalem that day and the day after.

bbe@2Samuel:11:19 @And he gave orders to the man who took the news, saying, After you have given the king all the news about the war,

bbe@2Samuel:11:20 @If the king is angry and says, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall?

bbe@2Samuel:11:21 @Who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall? Then say to him, Your servant Uriah the Hittite is among the dead.

bbe@2Samuel:11:22 @So the man went, and came to David, and gave him all the news which Joab had sent him to give; then David was angry with Joab and said, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall? who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall?

bbe@2Samuel:11:24 @And the archers sent their arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king's servants are dead, and among them is your servant Uriah the Hittite.

bbe@2Samuel:12:1 @And the Lord sent Nathan to David. And Nathan came to him and said, There were two men in the same town: one a man of great wealth, and the other a poor man.

bbe@2Samuel:12:2 @The man of wealth had great numbers of flocks and herds;

bbe@2Samuel:12:4 @Now a traveller came to the house of the man of wealth, but he would not take anything from his flock or his herd to make a meal for the traveller who had come to him, but he took the poor man's lamb and made it ready for the man who had come.

bbe@2Samuel:12:6 @And he will have to give back four times the value of the lamb, because he has done this and because he had no pity.

bbe@2Samuel:12:12 @You did it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel and in the light of the sun.

bbe@2Samuel:12:16 @So David made prayer to God for the child; and he took no food day after day, and went in and, stretching himself out on the earth, was there all night.

bbe@2Samuel:12:19 @But when David saw that his servants were talking together quietly, he was certain that the child was dead: and he said to his servants, Is the child dead? and they said, He is.

bbe@2Samuel:12:20 @Then David got up from the earth, and after washing and rubbing himself with oil and changing his clothing, he went into the house of the Lord and gave worship: then he went back to his house, and at his order they put food before him and he had a meal.

bbe@2Samuel:12:21 @Then his servants said to him, Why have you been acting in this way? you were weeping and going without food while the child was still living; but when the child was dead, you got up and had a meal.

bbe@2Samuel:12:29 @Then David got all the people together and went to Rabbah and made war on it and took it.

bbe@2Samuel:12:30 @And he took the crown of Milcom from his head; the weight of it was a talent of gold, and in it were stones of great price; and it was put on David's head. And he took a great store of goods from the town.

bbe@2Samuel:12:31 @And he took the people out of the town and put them to work with wood-cutting instruments, and iron grain-crushers, and iron axes, and at brick-making: this he did to all the towns of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people went back to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:13:1 @Now after this, it came about that Absalom, David's son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and David's son Amnon was in love with her.

bbe@2Samuel:13:4 @And he said to him, O son of the king, why are you getting thinner day by day? will you not say what your trouble is? And Amnon said to him, I am in love with Tamar, my brother Absalom's sister.

bbe@2Samuel:13:7 @Then David sent to the house for Tamar and said, Go now to your brother Amnon's house and get a meal for him.

bbe@2Samuel:13:9 @And she took the cooking-pot, and put the cakes before him, but he would not take them. And Amnon said, Let everyone go away from me. So they all went out.

bbe@2Samuel:13:13 @What will become of me in my shame? and as for you, you will be looked down on with disgust by all Israel. Now then, go and make your request to the king, for he will not keep me from you.

bbe@2Samuel:13:20 @And her brother Absalom said to her, Has your brother Amnon been with you? but now, let there be an end to your crying, my sister: he is your brother, do not take this thing to heart. So Tamar went on living uncomforted in her brother's house.

bbe@2Samuel:13:21 @But when King David had news of all these things he was very angry; but he did not make trouble for Amnon his son, for he was dear to David, being his oldest son.

bbe@2Samuel:13:22 @But Absalom said nothing to his brother Amnon, good or bad: for he was full of hate for him, because he had taken his sister Tamar by force.

bbe@2Samuel:13:23 @Now after two full years, Absalom had men cutting the wool of his sheep in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim: and he sent for all the king's sons to come to his feast.

bbe@2Samuel:13:24 @And Absalom came to the king and said, See now, your servant is cutting the wool of his sheep; will the king and his servants be pleased to come?

bbe@2Samuel:13:25 @And the king said to Absalom, No, my son, let us not all go, or the number will be over-great for you. And he made his request again, but he would not go, but he gave him his blessing.

bbe@2Samuel:13:26 @Then Absalom said, If you will not go, then let my brother Amnon go with us. And the king said to him, Is there any reason for him to go with you?

bbe@2Samuel:13:27 @But Absalom went on requesting him till he let Amnon and all the king's sons go with him. And Absalom made a great feast like a feast for a king.

bbe@2Samuel:13:28 @Now Absalom had given orders to his servants, saying, Now take note when Amnon's heart is glad with wine; and when I say to you, Make an attack on Amnon, then put him to death without fear: have I not given you orders? be strong and without fear.

bbe@2Samuel:13:29 @So Absalom's servants did to Amnon as Absalom had given them orders. Then all the king's sons got up, and every man got on his beast and went in flight.

bbe@2Samuel:13:30 @Now while they were on their way, news was given to David that Absalom had put to death all the sons of the king and that not one of them was still living.

bbe@2Samuel:13:31 @Then the king got up in great grief, stretching himself out on the earth: and all his servants were by his side, with their clothing parted.

bbe@2Samuel:13:32 @And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, said, Let not my lord have the idea that all the sons of the king have been put to death; for only Amnon is dead: this has been purposed by Absalom from the day when he took his sister Tamar by force.

bbe@2Samuel:13:33 @So now, let not my lord the king take this thing to heart, with the idea that all the king's sons are dead: for only Amnon is dead.

bbe@2Samuel:13:34 @But Absalom went in flight. And the young man who kept the watch, lifting up his eyes, saw that a great band of people was coming down the slope by the way of the Horons; and the watchman came and gave word to the king, saying, I saw men coming down by the way of the Horons, from the hillside.

bbe@2Samuel:13:36 @And while he was talking, the king's sons came, with weeping and loud cries: and the king and all his servants were weeping bitterly.

bbe@2Samuel:13:37 @So Absalom went in flight and came to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur, where he was for three years.

bbe@2Samuel:13:38 @And the king was sorrowing for his son all the time.

bbe@2Samuel:13:39 @And the heart of David was wasted with desire for Absalom: for he was comforted for the death of Amnon.

bbe@2Samuel:14:1 @Now it was clear to Joab, the son of Zeruiah, that the king's heart was turning to Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:14:4 @And the woman of Tekoa came to the king, and falling on her face, gave him honour and said, Give me help, O king.

bbe@2Samuel:14:7 @And now all the family is turned against me, your servant, saying, Give up him who was the cause of his brother's death, so that we may put him to death in payment for the life of his brother, whose life he took; and we will put an end to the one who will get the heritage: so they will put out my last burning coal, and my husband will have no name or offspring on the face of the earth.

bbe@2Samuel:14:14 @For death comes to us all, and we are like water drained out on the earth, which it is not possible to take up again; and God will not take away the life of the man whose purpose is that he who has been sent away may not be completely cut off from him.

bbe@2Samuel:14:19 @And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with you in all this? And the woman in answer said, By the life of your soul, my lord the king, it is not possible for anyone to go to the right hand or to the left from anything said by the king: your servant Joab gave me orders, and put all these words in my mouth:

bbe@2Samuel:14:21 @And the king said to Joab, See now, I will do this thing: go then and Come back with the young man Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:14:22 @Then Joab, falling down on his face on the earth, gave the king honour and blessing; and Joab said, Today it is clear to your servant that I have grace in your eyes, my lord king, because the king has given effect to the request of his servant.

bbe@2Samuel:14:23 @So Joab got up and went to Geshur and came back again to Jerusalem with Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:14:24 @And the king said, Let him go to his house, but let him not see my face. So Absalom went back to his house and did not see the face of the king.

bbe@2Samuel:14:25 @Now in all Israel there was no one so greatly to be praised for his beautiful form as Absalom: from his feet to the crown of his head he was completely beautiful.

bbe@2Samuel:14:27 @And Absalom was the father of three sons and of one daughter named Tamar, who was very beautiful.

bbe@2Samuel:14:28 @For two full years Absalom was living in Jerusalem without ever seeing the face of the king.

bbe@2Samuel:14:29 @Then Absalom sent for Joab to send him to the king, but he would not come to him: and he sent again a second time, but he would not come.

bbe@2Samuel:14:30 @So he said to his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he has barley in it; go and put it on fire. And Absalom's servants put the field on fire.

bbe@2Samuel:14:31 @Then Joab came to Absalom in his house and said to him, Why have your servants put my field on fire?

bbe@2Samuel:14:32 @And Absalom's answer was, See, I sent to you saying, Come here, so that I may send you to the king to say, Why have I come back from Geshur? it would be better for me to be there still: let me now see the king's face, and if there is any sin in me, let him put me to death.

bbe@2Samuel:14:33 @So Joab went to the king and said these words to him: and when the king had sent for him, Absalom came, and went down on his face on the earth before the king: and the king gave him a kiss.

bbe@2Samuel:15:1 @Now after this, Absalom got for himself a carriage and horses, and fifty runners to go before him.

bbe@2Samuel:15:2 @And Absalom got up early, morning after morning, and took his place at the side of the public meeting-place: and when any man had a cause which had to come to the king to be judged, then Absalom, crying out to him, said, What is your town? and he would say, Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:15:3 @And Absalom would say to him, See, your cause is true and right; but no man has been named by the king to give you a hearing.

bbe@2Samuel:15:4 @And more than this, Absalom said, If only I was made judge in the land, so that every man who has any cause or question might come to me, and I would give a right decision for him!

bbe@2Samuel:15:6 @And this Absalom did to everyone in Israel who came to the king to have his cause judged: so Absalom, like a thief, took away the hearts of the men of Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:15:7 @Now at the end of four years, Absalom said to the king, Let me go to Hebron and give effect to the oath which I made to the Lord:

bbe@2Samuel:15:8 @For while I was living in Geshur in Aram, your servant made an oath, saying, If ever the Lord lets me come back to Jerusalem, I will give him worship in Hebron.

bbe@2Samuel:15:10 @But Absalom at the same time sent watchers through all the tribes of Israel to say, At the sound of the horn you are to say, Absalom is king in Hebron.

bbe@2Samuel:15:11 @And with Absalom, at his request, went two hundred men from Jerusalem, who were completely unconscious of his designs.

bbe@2Samuel:15:12 @And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, one of David's helpers, from Giloh his town, while he was making the offerings. And the design against David became strong, for more and more people were joined to Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:15:13 @And one came to David and said, The hearts of the men of Israel have gone after Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:15:14 @And David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, Come, let us go in flight, or not one of us will be safe from Absalom: let us go without loss of time, or he will overtake us quickly and send evil on us, and put the town to the sword.

bbe@2Samuel:15:16 @So the king went out, taking with him all the people of his house, but for ten of his women, who were to take care of the house.

bbe@2Samuel:15:17 @And the king went out, and all his servants went after him, and made a stop at the Far House.

bbe@2Samuel:15:18 @And all the people went on by his side; and all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the men of Ittai of Gath, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, went on before the king.

bbe@2Samuel:15:22 @And David said to Ittai, Go forward, then. And Ittai the Gittite went on, with all his men and all the little ones he had with him.

bbe@2Samuel:15:23 @And there was great weeping in all the country when all the people went through; and the king himself was waiting in the Kidron valley and all the people went by him in the direction of the olive-tree on the edge of the waste land.

bbe@2Samuel:15:24 @Then Zadok came, and Abiathar, and with them the ark of God's agreement: and they put down the ark of God, till all the people from the town had gone by.

bbe@2Samuel:15:29 @So Zadok and Abiathar took the ark of God back to Jerusalem, and did not go away from there.

bbe@2Samuel:15:30 @And David went up the slopes of the Mount of Olives weeping all the way, with his head covered and no shoes on his feet: and all the people who were with him, covering their heads, went up weeping.

bbe@2Samuel:15:31 @And word came to David, saying, Ahithophel is among those who are joined to Absalom. And David said, O Lord, let the wisdom of Ahithophel be made foolish.

bbe@2Samuel:15:34 @But if you go back to the town and say to Absalom, I will be your servant, O king; as in the past I have been your father's servant, so now I will be yours: then you will be able to keep Ahithophel's designs against me from being put into effect.

bbe@2Samuel:15:37 @So Hushai, David's friend, went into the town, and Absalom came to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:16:3 @And the king said, And where is your master's son? And Ziba said, He is still at Jerusalem: for he said, Today Israel will give back to me the kingdom of my father.

bbe@2Samuel:16:5 @And when King David came to Bahurim, a man of Saul's family named Shimei, the son of Gera, came out from there, calling curses after him.

bbe@2Samuel:16:6 @And he sent stones at David and at all the king's servants and at all the people and at all the men of war by his side, on the right hand and on the left.

bbe@2Samuel:16:8 @The Lord has sent punishment on you for all the blood of the family of Saul, whose kingdom you have taken; and the Lord has given the kingdom to Absalom, your son: now you yourself are taken in your evil, because you are a man of blood.

bbe@2Samuel:16:11 @And David said to Abishai and to all his servants, You see how my son, the offspring of my body, has made designs against my life: how much more then may this Benjamite do so? Let him be, and let him go on cursing; for the Lord has given him orders.

bbe@2Samuel:16:13 @So David and his men went on their way: and Shimei went by the hillside parallel with them, cursing and sending stones and dust at him.

bbe@2Samuel:16:15 @And Absalom and the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.

bbe@2Samuel:16:16 @Then Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom and said, Long life to the king, long life to the king!

bbe@2Samuel:16:17 @And Absalom said, Is this your love for your friend? why did you not go with your friend?

bbe@2Samuel:16:18 @And Hushai said to Absalom, Not so; I am for that man whom the Lord and this people and all the men of Israel have taken as king, and I will take my place with him.

bbe@2Samuel:16:20 @Then Absalom said to Ahithophel, Give your opinion now, what are we to do?

bbe@2Samuel:16:21 @And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father's women who are here looking after his house; then all Israel will have the news that you are hated by your father, and the hands of your supporters will be strong

bbe@2Samuel:16:22 @So they put up the tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father's women before the eyes of all Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:16:23 @In those days the opinions of Ahithophel were valued as highly as if through him a man might get direction from God; so were they valued by David as much as by Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:17:1 @Then Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me take out twelve thousand men and this very night I will go after David:

bbe@2Samuel:17:2 @And I will come up with him when he is tired and feeble, and make him full of fear: and all the people with him will go in flight; and I will make an attack on the king only:

bbe@2Samuel:17:3 @And I will make all the people come back to you as a bride comes back to her husband: it is the life of only one man you are going after; so all the people will be at peace.

bbe@2Samuel:17:4 @And the saying was pleasing to Absalom and to the responsible men of Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:17:5 @Then Absalom said, Now send for Hushai the Archite, and let us give ear to what he has to say.

bbe@2Samuel:17:6 @And when Hushai came, Absalom said to him, This is what Ahithophel has said: are we to do as he says? if not, what is your suggestion?

bbe@2Samuel:17:7 @And Hushai said to Absalom, Ahithophel's idea is not a good one at this time.

bbe@2Samuel:17:9 @But he will certainly have taken cover now in some hole or secret place; and if some of our people, at the first attack, are overcome, then any hearing of it will say, There is destruction among the people who are on Absalom's side.

bbe@2Samuel:17:10 @Then even the strongest, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will become like water; for all Israel is conscious that your father is a man of war, and those who are with him are strong and without fear.

bbe@2Samuel:17:11 @But my suggestion is that all Israel, from Dan as far as Beer-sheba, comes together to you, a great army like the sands of the sea in number; and that you yourself go out among them.

bbe@2Samuel:17:12 @Then we will come on him in some place, wherever he may be, falling on him as the dew comes on the earth: and of him and all the men who are with him not one will get away with his life.

bbe@2Samuel:17:13 @And if he has gone into some town, then let all Israel take strong cords to that town, and we will have it pulled into the valley, till not one small stone is to be seen there.

bbe@2Samuel:17:14 @Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, Hushai's suggestion is better than that of Ahithophel. For it was the purpose of the Lord to make the wise designs of Ahithophel without effect, so that the Lord might send evil on Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:17:15 @Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, This is the suggestion made by Ahithophel to Absalom and the responsible men of Israel, and this is what I said to them.

bbe@2Samuel:17:16 @So now send the news quickly to David, and say, Do not take your night's rest by the way across the river to the waste land, but be certain to go over; or the king and all the people with him will come to destruction.

bbe@2Samuel:17:18 @But a boy saw them, and gave word of it to Absalom: so the two of them went away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim who had a water-hole in his garden, and they went down into it.

bbe@2Samuel:17:20 @And Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house and said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, They have gone from here to the stream. And after searching for them, and seeing nothing of them, they went back to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:17:22 @So David and all the people who were with him went up over Jordan: when dawn came, every one of them had gone over Jordan.

bbe@2Samuel:17:24 @And David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom, with all the men of Israel, went over Jordan.

bbe@2Samuel:17:25 @And Absalom put Amasa at the head of the army in place of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra the Ishmaelite, who had been the lover of Abigail, the daughter of Jesse, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.

bbe@2Samuel:17:26 @And Israel and Absalom put up their tents in the land of Gilead.

bbe@2Samuel:17:28 @Came with beds and basins and pots, and grain and meal, and all sorts of dry foods,

bbe@2Samuel:18:3 @But the people said, It is better for you not to go out: for if we are put to flight, they will not give a thought to us, and if death overtakes half of us, it will be nothing to them: but you are of more value than ten thousand of us: so it is better for you to be ready to come to our help from this town.

bbe@2Samuel:18:4 @And the king said to them, I will do whatever seems best to you. So the king took his place by the door of the town, and all the people went out by hundreds and by thousands.

bbe@2Samuel:18:5 @And the king gave orders to Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Because of me, be gentle to the young man Absalom. And this order about Absalom was given in the hearing of all the people.

bbe@2Samuel:18:8 @And the fighting went on over all the face of the country: and the woods were responsible for more deaths than the sword.

bbe@2Samuel:18:9 @And Absalom came across some of David's men. And Absalom was seated on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great tree, and his head became fixed in the tree and he was lifted up between earth and heaven, and the beast under him went on.

bbe@2Samuel:18:10 @And a certain man saw it and said to Joab, I saw Absalom hanging in a tree

bbe@2Samuel:18:12 @And the man said to Joab, Even if you gave me a thousand bits of silver, I would not put out my hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king gave orders to you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Take care that the young man Absalom is not touched.

bbe@2Samuel:18:13 @And if I had falsely put him to death (and nothing may be kept secret from the king), you would have had nothing to do with me.

bbe@2Samuel:18:14 @Then Joab said, I would have made it safe for you. And he took three spears in his hand, and put them through Absalom's heart, while he was still living, in the branches of the tree.

bbe@2Samuel:18:15 @And ten young men, servants of Joab, came round Absalom and put an end to him.

bbe@2Samuel:18:17 @And they took Absalom's body and put it into a great hole in the wood, and put a great mass of stones over it: and every man of Israel went in flight to his tent.

bbe@2Samuel:18:18 @Now Absalom, before his death, had put up for himself a pillar in the king's valley, naming it after himself; for he said, I have no son to keep my name in memory: and to this day it is named Absalom's pillar.

bbe@2Samuel:18:24 @Now David was seated between the two town doors; and the watchman went up to the roof of the doorways, on the wall, and, lifting up his eyes, saw a man running by himself.

bbe@2Samuel:18:28 @And Ahimaaz, crying out to the king, said, It is well. And falling down before the king, with his face to the earth, he said, May the Lord your God be praised, who has given up the men who took up arms against my lord the king!

bbe@2Samuel:18:29 @And the king said, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And Ahimaaz said in answer, When Joab sent me, your servant, I saw a great outcry going on, but I had no knowledge of what it was.

bbe@2Samuel:18:31 @And then the Cushite came and said, I have news for my lord the king: today the Lord has done right in your cause against all those who took up arms against you.

bbe@2Samuel:18:32 @And the king said to the Cushite, Is the young man Absalom safe? And the Cushite said in answer, May all the king's haters and those who do evil against the king, be as that young man is!

bbe@2Samuel:18:33 @Then the king was much moved, and went up into the room over the door, weeping, and saying, O my son Absalom, my son, my son Absalom! if only my life might have been given for yours, O Absalom, my son, my son!

bbe@2Samuel:19:1 @And word was given to Joab that the king was weeping and sorrowing for Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:19:2 @And the salvation of that day was changed to sorrow for all the people: for it was said to the people, The king is in bitter grief for his son.

bbe@2Samuel:19:4 @But the king, covering his face, gave a great cry, O my son Absalom, O Absalom, my son, my son!

bbe@2Samuel:19:5 @And Joab came into the house to the king and said, Today you have put to shame the faces of all your servants who even now have kept you and your sons and your daughters and your wives and all your women safe from death;

bbe@2Samuel:19:6 @For your haters, it seems, are dear to you, and your friends are hated. For you have made it clear that captains and servants are nothing to you: and now I see that if Absalom was living and we had all been dead today, it would have been right in your eyes.

bbe@2Samuel:19:7 @So get up now, and go out and say some kind words to your servants; for, by the Lord, I give you my oath, that if you do not go out, not one of them will keep with you tonight; and that will be worse for you than all the evil which has overtaken you from your earliest years.

bbe@2Samuel:19:8 @Then the king got up and took his seat near the town-door. And word was given to all the people that the king was in the public place: and all the people came before the king. Now all the men of Israel had gone back in flight to their tents.

bbe@2Samuel:19:9 @And through all the tribes of Israel the people were having arguments, saying, The king made us safe from the hands of those who were against us and made us free from the hands of the Philistines; and now he has gone in flight from the land, because of Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:19:10 @And Absalom, whom we made a ruler over us, is dead in the fight

bbe@2Samuel:19:13 @And say to Amasa, Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God's punishment be on me, if I do not make you chief of the army before me at all times in place of Joab!

bbe@2Samuel:19:14 @And the hearts of the men of Judah were moved like one man; so that they sent to the king, saying, Come back, with all your servants.

bbe@2Samuel:19:15 @So the king came back, and came as far as Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, meeting the king there, to take him back with them over Jordan.

bbe@2Samuel:19:19 @And said to him, Let me not be judged as a sinner in your eyes, O my lord, and do not keep in mind the wrong I did on the day when my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, or take it to heart.

bbe@2Samuel:19:20 @For your servant is conscious of his sin: and so, as you see, I have come today, the first of all the sons of Joseph, for the purpose of meeting my lord the king.

bbe@2Samuel:19:25 @Now when he had come from Jerusalem to see the king, the king said to him, Why did you not come with me, Mephibosheth?

bbe@2Samuel:19:27 @He has given you a false account of me: but my lord the king is like the angel of God: do then whatever seems good to you.

bbe@2Samuel:19:28 @For all my father's family were only dead men before my lord the king: and still you put your servant among those whose place is at the king's table. What right then have I to say anything more to the king?

bbe@2Samuel:19:30 @And Mephibosheth said, Let him take it all, now that my lord the king has come back to his house in peace!

bbe@2Samuel:19:33 @And the king said to Barzillai, Come over with me, and I will take care of you in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:19:34 @And Barzillai said to the king, How much of my life is still before me, for me to go up to Jerusalem with the king?

bbe@2Samuel:19:39 @Then all the people went over Jordan, and the king went over: and the king gave Barzillai a kiss, with his blessing; and he went back to his place.

bbe@2Samuel:19:40 @So the king went over to Gilgal, and Chimham went with him: and all the people of Judah, as well as half the people of Israel, took the king on his way.

bbe@2Samuel:19:41 @Then the men of Israel came to the king and said, Why have our countrymen of Judah taken you away in secret and come over Jordan with the king and all his family, because all his people are David's men?

bbe@2Samuel:19:42 @And all the men of Judah gave this answer to the men of Israel, Because the king is our near relation: why then are you angry about this? have we taken any of the king's food, or has he given us any offering?

bbe@2Samuel:20:2 @So all the men of Israel, turning away from David, went after Sheba, the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah were true to their king, going with him from Jordan as far as Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:20:3 @And David came to his house at Jerusalem: and the king took the ten women to whom he had given the care of the house, and had them shut up, and gave them the necessaries of life, but did not go near them. So they were shut up till the day of their death, living as widows.

bbe@2Samuel:20:4 @Then the king said to Amasa, Get all the men of Judah together, and in three days be here yourself.

bbe@2Samuel:20:5 @So Amasa went to get all the men of Judah together, but he took longer than the time David had given him.

bbe@2Samuel:20:6 @And David said to Abishai, Sheba, the son of Bichri, will do us more damage than Absalom did; so take some of your lord's servants and go after him, before he makes himself safe in the walled towns, and gets away before our eyes.

bbe@2Samuel:20:7 @So there went after Abishai, Joab and the Cherethites and the Pelethites and all the fighting-men; they went out of Jerusalem to overtake Sheba, the son of Bichri.

bbe@2Samuel:20:8 @When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came face to face with them. Now Joab had on his war-dress, and round him a band from which his sword was hanging in its cover; and while he was walking, it came out, falling to the earth.

bbe@2Samuel:20:13 @When he had been taken off the road, all the people went on after Joab in search of Sheba, the son of Bichri.

bbe@2Samuel:20:14 @And Sheba went through all the tribes of Israel, to Abel of Beth-maacah; and all the Bichrites came together and went in after him.

bbe@2Samuel:20:15 @And Joab and his men got him shut up in Abel of Beth-maacah, and put up an earthwork against the town: and all Joab's men did their best to get the wall broken down.

bbe@2Samuel:20:16 @Then a wise woman got up on the wall, and crying out from the town, said, Give ear, give ear; say now to Joab, Come near, so that I may have talk with you.

bbe@2Samuel:20:21 @Not so: but a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, Sheba, son of Bichri, by name, has taken up arms against the king, against David: give up this man only, and I will go away from the town. And the woman said to Joab, His head will be dropped over the wall to you.

bbe@2Samuel:20:22 @Then the woman in her wisdom had talk with all the town. And they had Sheba's head cut off and sent out to Joab. And he had the horn sounded, and sent them all away from the town, every man to his tent. And Joab went back to Jerusalem to the king.

bbe@2Samuel:20:23 @Now Joab was over all the army; and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, was at the head of the Cherethites and the Pelethites;

bbe@2Samuel:21:9 @And he gave them up to the Gibeonites, and they put them to death, hanging them on the mountain before the Lord; all seven came to their end together in the first days of the grain-cutting, at the start of the cutting of the barley.

bbe@2Samuel:21:14 @And they put them with the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the resting-place of Kish, his father, in Zela in the country of Benjamin; they did all the king had given them orders to do

bbe@2Samuel:21:20 @And again there was war at Gath, where there was a very tall man, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on his hands and six toes on his feet; he was one of the offspring of the Rephaim.

bbe@2Samuel:22:1 @And David made a song to the Lord in these words, on the day when the Lord made him free from the hands of all his haters, and from the hand of Saul:

bbe@2Samuel:22:2 @And he said, The Lord is my Rock, my walled town, and my saviour, even mine;

bbe@2Samuel:22:3 @My God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my safe place; my saviour, who keeps me safe from the violent man.

bbe@2Samuel:22:9 @There went up a smoke from his nose, and a fire of destruction from his mouth: coals were lighted by it.

bbe@2Samuel:22:13 @Before his shining light his dark clouds went past, raining ice and coals of fire.

bbe@2Samuel:22:15 @And he sent out his arrows, driving them in all directions; by his flames of fire they were troubled.

bbe@2Samuel:22:23 @For all his decisions were before me, and I did not put away his laws from me.

bbe@2Samuel:22:30 @By your help I have made a way through the wall which was shutting me in: by the help of my God I have gone over a wall.

bbe@2Samuel:22:31 @As for God, his way is all good: the word of the Lord is tested; he is a safe cover for all those who put their faith in him.

bbe@2Samuel:22:36 @You have given me the breastplate of your salvation, and your mercy has made me great.

bbe@2Samuel:22:38 @I go after my haters and overtake them; not turning back till they are all overcome.

bbe@2Samuel:22:43 @Then they were crushed as small as the dust of the earth, stamped down under my feet like the waste of the streets.

bbe@2Samuel:22:45 @Men of other countries will, with false hearts, put themselves under my authority: from the time when my name comes to their ears, they will be ruled by me.

bbe@2Samuel:22:47 @The Lord is living; praise be to my Rock, and let the God of my salvation be honoured:

bbe@2Samuel:22:51 @Great salvation does he give to his king; he has mercy on the king of his selection, David, and on his seed for ever.

bbe@2Samuel:23:5 @For is not my house so with God? For he has made with me an eternal agreement, ordered in all things and certain: as for all my salvation and all my desire, will he not give it increase?

bbe@2Samuel:23:6 @But the evil-doers, all of them, will be like thorns to be pushed away, because they may not be gripped in the hand:

bbe@2Samuel:23:8 @These are the names of David's men of war: Ishbaal the Hachmonite, chief of the three; his axe was lifted up against eight hundred put to death at one time.

bbe@2Samuel:23:10 @He was with David and went on fighting the Philistines till his hand became tired and stiff from gripping his sword: and that day the Lord gave a great salvation, and the people came back after him only to take the goods of the Philistines.

bbe@2Samuel:23:12 @But he kept his place in the middle of the bit of land, and kept back their attack and overcame the Philistines: and the Lord gave a great salvation.

bbe@2Samuel:23:13 @And three of the thirty went down at the start of the grain-cutting, and they came to David at the strong place of Adullam; and the band of Philistines had taken up their position in the valley of Rephaim.

bbe@2Samuel:23:19 @Was he not the noblest of the thirty? so he was made their captain: but he was not equal to the first three.

bbe@2Samuel:23:21 @And he made an attack on an Egyptian, a tall man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a stick, and pulling the spear out of the hands of the Egyptian, put him to death with that same spear.

bbe@2Samuel:23:23 @He was honoured over the rest of the thirty, but he was not equal to the first three. And David put him over the fighting men who kept him safe.

bbe@2Samuel:23:26 @Helez the Paltite, Ira, the son of Ikkesh the Tekoite,

bbe@2Samuel:23:28 @Zalmon the Ahohite, Maharai the Netophathite,

bbe@2Samuel:23:30 @Benaiah the Pirathonite, Hiddai of the valleys of Gaash,

bbe@2Samuel:23:32 @Eliahba the Shaalbonite, Jashen the Gunite,

bbe@2Samuel:23:36 @Igal, the son of Nathan of Zobah, Bani the Gadite,

bbe@2Samuel:24:2 @And the king said to Joab and the captains of the army, who were with him, Go now through all the tribes of Israel, from Dan as far as Beer-sheba, and have all the people numbered, so that I may be certain of the number of the people.

bbe@2Samuel:24:5 @And they went over Jordan, and starting from Aroer, from the town which is in the middle of the valley, they went in the direction of the Gadites, and on to Jazer;

bbe@2Samuel:24:7 @And to the walled town of Tyre, and to all the towns of the Hivites and the Canaanites: and they went out to the South of Judah at Beer-sheba.

bbe@2Samuel:24:8 @So after going through all the land in every direction, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

bbe@2Samuel:24:9 @And Joab gave the king the number of all the people: there were in Israel eight hundred thousand fighting men able to take up arms; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand.

bbe@2Samuel:24:16 @And when the hand of the angel was stretched out in the direction of Jerusalem, for its destruction, the Lord had regret for the evil, and said to the angel who was sending destruction on the people, It is enough; do no more. And the angel of the Lord was by the grain-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

bbe@2Samuel:24:18 @And that day Gad came to David and said to him, Go up, and put up an altar to the Lord on the grain-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

bbe@2Samuel:24:21 @And Araunah said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To give you a price for your grain-floor, so that I may put up an altar to the Lord, and the disease may be stopped among the people.

bbe@2Samuel:24:23 @All this does the servant of my lord the king give to the king. And Araunah said, May the Lord your God be pleased with your offering!

bbe@2Samuel:24:25 @And there David put up an altar to the Lord, making burned offerings and peace-offerings. So the Lord gave ear to his prayer for the land, and the disease came to an end in Israel.

bbe@1Kings:1:3 @So after searching through all the land of Israel for a fair young girl, they saw Abishag the Shunammite, and took her to the king.

bbe@1Kings:1:4 @Now she was very beautiful; and she took care of the king, waiting on him at all times; but the king had no connection with her.

bbe@1Kings:1:6 @Now all his life his father had never gone against him or said to him, Why have you done so? and he was a very good-looking man, and younger than Absalom.

bbe@1Kings:1:7 @And he had talk with Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and with Abiathar the priest; and they were on his side and gave him their support.

bbe@1Kings:1:9 @Then Adonijah put to death sheep and oxen and fat beasts by the stone of Zoheleth, by En-rogel; and he sent for all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants, to come to him:

bbe@1Kings:1:14 @And while you are still talking there with the king, see, I will come in after you and say that your story is true.

bbe@1Kings:1:19 @And has put to death oxen and fat beasts and sheep in great numbers, and has sent for all the sons of the king, and Abiathar the priest, and Joab, the captain of the army; but he has not sent for Solomon your servant.

bbe@1Kings:1:20 @And now, my lord the king, the eyes of all Israel are on you, waiting for you to say who is to take the place of my lord the king after him.

bbe@1Kings:1:22 @And while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.

bbe@1Kings:1:25 @Because today he has gone down and has put to death oxen and fat beasts and sheep in great numbers, and has sent for all the king's sons to come to him, with the captains of the army and Abiathar the priest; and they are feasting before him and crying, Long life to King Adonijah!

bbe@1Kings:1:29 @And the king took an oath, and said, By the living Lord, who has been my saviour from all my troubles,

bbe@1Kings:1:39 @And Zadok the priest took the vessel of oil out of the Tent, and put the holy oil on Solomon. And when the horn was sounded, all the people said, Long life to King Solomon!

bbe@1Kings:1:40 @And all the people came up after him, piping with pipes, and they were glad with great joy, so that the earth was shaking with the sound.

bbe@1Kings:1:41 @And it came to the ears of Adonijah and all the guests who were with him, when their meal was ended. And Joab, hearing the sound of the horn, said, What is the reason of this noise as if the town was worked up?

bbe@1Kings:1:45 @And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet put the holy oil on him and made him king in Gihon; and they came back from there with joy, and the town was all worked up. This is the noise which has come to your ears.

bbe@1Kings:1:49 @And all the guests of Adonijah got up in fear and went away, every man to his place.

bbe@1Kings:1:50 @And Adonijah himself was full of fear because of Solomon; and he got up and went to the altar, and put his hands on its horns.

bbe@1Kings:1:51 @And they gave Solomon word of it, saying, See, Adonijah goes in such fear of King Solomon, that he has put his hands on the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon first give me his oath that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.

bbe@1Kings:1:53 @So King Solomon sent, and they took him down from the altar. And he came and gave honour to King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, Go to your house.

bbe@1Kings:2:2 @I am going the way of all the earth: so be strong and be a man;

bbe@1Kings:2:3 @And keep the orders of the Lord your God, walking in his ways, keeping his laws and his orders and his rules and his words, as they are recorded in the law of Moses; so that you may do well in all you do and wherever you go,

bbe@1Kings:2:4 @So that the Lord may give effect to what he said of me, If your children give attention to their ways, living uprightly before me with all their heart and their soul, you will never be without a man to be king in Israel.

bbe@1Kings:2:7 @But be good to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be guests at your table; for so they came to me when I went in flight from Absalom your brother.

bbe@1Kings:2:11 @David was king over Israel for forty years: for seven years he was king in Hebron and for thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

bbe@1Kings:2:15 @And he said, You saw how the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had the idea that I would be their king; but now the kingdom is turned about, and has become my brother's, for it was given to him by the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:2:19 @So Bath-sheba went to King Solomon to have talk with him on Adonijah's account. And the king got up to come to her, and went down low to the earth before her; then he took his place on the king's seat and had a seat made ready for the king's mother and she took her place at his right hand.

bbe@1Kings:2:20 @Then she said, I have one small request to make to you; do not say, No, to me. And the king said, Say on, my mother, for I will not say, No, to you.

bbe@1Kings:2:26 @And to Abiathar the priest the king said, Go to Anathoth, to your fields; for death would be your right reward; but I will not put you to death now, because you took up the ark of the Lord God before David my father, and you were with him in all his troubles.

bbe@1Kings:2:28 @And news of this came to Joab; for Joab had been one of Adonijah's supporters, though he had not been on Absalom's side. Then Joab went in flight to the Tent of the Lord, and put his hands on the horns of the altar.

bbe@1Kings:2:29 @And they said to King Solomon, Joab has gone in flight to the Tent of the Lord and is by the altar. Then Solomon sent Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, saying, Go, make an attack on him.

bbe@1Kings:2:34 @So Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, went up, and falling on him, put him to death; and his body was put to rest in his house in the waste land.

bbe@1Kings:2:36 @Then the king sent for Shimei, and said to him, Make a house for yourself in Jerusalem and keep there and go to no other place.

bbe@1Kings:2:38 @And Shimei said to the king, Very well! as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do. And for a long time Shimei went on living in Jerusalem.

bbe@1Kings:2:41 @And news was given to Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had come back again.

bbe@1Kings:2:44 @And the king said to Shimei, You have knowledge of all the evil which you did to David my father; and now the Lord has sent back your evil on yourself.

bbe@1Kings:2:46 @So the king gave orders to Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada; and he went out and, falling on him, put him to death. And Solomon's authority over the kingdom was complete.

bbe@1Kings:3:1 @Solomon became the son-in-law of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter as his wife, keeping her in the town of David, till the house he was building for himself, and the house of the Lord and the wall round Jerusalem, were complete.

bbe@1Kings:3:2 @But all this time the people were making their offerings in the high places, because no house had been put up to the name of the Lord till those days.

bbe@1Kings:3:4 @And the king went to Gibeon to make an offering there, because that was the chief high place: it was Solomon's way to make a thousand burned offerings on that altar.

bbe@1Kings:3:11 @And God said to him, Because your request is for this thing, and not for long life for yourself or for wealth or for the destruction of your haters, but for wisdom to be a judge of causes;

bbe@1Kings:3:12 @I have done as you said: I have given you a wise and far-seeing heart, so that there has never been your equal in the past, and never will there be any like you in the future.

bbe@1Kings:3:13 @And with this I have given you what you made no request for: wealth and honour, so that no king was ever your equal.

bbe@1Kings:3:15 @And Solomon, awakening, saw that it was a dream; then he came to Jerusalem, where he went before the ark of the agreement of the Lord, offering burned offerings and peace-offerings; and he made a feast for all his servants.

bbe@1Kings:3:22 @And the other woman said, No; but the living child is my son and the dead one yours. But the first said, No; the dead child is your son and the living one mine. So they kept on talking before the king.

bbe@1Kings:3:25 @And the king said, Let the living child be cut in two and one half given to one woman and one to the other.

bbe@1Kings:3:28 @And news of this decision which the king had made went through all Israel; and they had fear of the king, for they saw that the wisdom of God was in him to give decisions.

bbe@1Kings:4:1 @Now Solomon was king over all Israel.

bbe@1Kings:4:7 @And Solomon put twelve overseers over all Israel, to be responsible for the stores needed for the king and those of his house; every man was responsible for one month in the year.

bbe@1Kings:4:9 @... the son of Deker in Makaz and Shaalbim and Beth-shemesh and Elonbeth-hanan;

bbe@1Kings:4:11 @... the son of Abinadab in all Naphath-dor; his wife was Taphath, the daughter of Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:4:12 @Baana, the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean which is by the side of Zarethan, under Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, as far as the far side of Jokmeam;

bbe@1Kings:4:13 @... the son of Geber in Ramoth-gilead; he had the towns of Jair, the son of Manasseh, which are in Gilead, and the country of Argob, which is in Bashan, sixty great towns with walls and locks of brass.

bbe@1Kings:4:15 @Ahimaaz in Naphtali; he took Basemath, the daughter of Solomon, as his wife;

bbe@1Kings:4:16 @Baana, the son of Hushai, in Asher and Aloth;

bbe@1Kings:4:19 @Geber, the son of Uri, in the land of Gilead, the country of Sihon, king of the Amorites, and Og, king of Bashan; and one overseer had authority over all the overseers who were in the land.

bbe@1Kings:4:21 @And Solomon was ruler over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, and as far as the edge of Egypt; men gave him offerings and were his servants all the days of his life.

bbe@1Kings:4:22 @And the amount of Solomon's food for one day was thirty measures of crushed grain and sixty measures of meal;

bbe@1Kings:4:24 @For he had authority over all the country on this side of the River, from Tiphsah to Gaza, over all the kings on this side of the River; and he had peace round him on every side.

bbe@1Kings:4:25 @So Judah and Israel were living safely, every man under his vine and his fig-tree, from Dan as far as Beer-sheba, all the days of Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:4:27 @And those overseers, every man in his month, saw that food was produced for Solomon and all his guests, they took care that nothing was overlooked.

bbe@1Kings:4:30 @And Solomon's wisdom was greater than the wisdom of all the people of the East and all the wisdom of Egypt.

bbe@1Kings:4:31 @For he was wiser than all men, even than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman and Calcol and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and he had a great name among all the nations round about.

bbe@1Kings:4:33 @He made sayings about all plants, from the cedar in Lebanon to the hyssop hanging on the wall; and about all beasts and birds and fishes and the small things of the earth.

bbe@1Kings:4:34 @People came from every nation to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth who had word of his wisdom.

bbe@1Kings:5:3 @You have knowledge that David my father was not able to make a house for the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars which were round him on every side, till the Lord put all those who were against him under his feet.

bbe@1Kings:5:8 @Then Hiram sent to Solomon, saying; The words you sent have been given to me: I will do all your desire in the question of cedar-wood and cypress-wood.

bbe@1Kings:5:10 @So Hiram gave Solomon all the cedar-wood and cypress-wood he had need of;

bbe@1Kings:5:13 @Then King Solomon got together men for the forced work through all Israel, thirty thousand men in number;

bbe@1Kings:6:5 @And against the walls all round, and against the walls of the Temple and of the inmost room, he put up wings, with side rooms all round:

bbe@1Kings:6:6 @The lowest line of them being five cubits wide, the middle six cubits wide and the third seven cubits; for there was a space all round the outside walls of the house so that the boards supporting the rooms did not have to be fixed in the walls of the house.

bbe@1Kings:6:10 @And he put up the line of side rooms against the walls of the house, fifteen cubits high, resting against the house on boards of cedar-wood.

bbe@1Kings:6:15 @The walls of the house were covered inside with cedar-wood boards; from the floor to the roof of the house they were covered inside with wood; and the floor was covered with boards of cypress-wood.

bbe@1Kings:6:18 @(All the inside of the house was cedar-wood, ornamented with designs of buds and flowers; no stonework was to be seen inside.)

bbe@1Kings:6:20 @And the inmost room was twenty cubits square and twenty cubits high, plated over with clear gold, and he made an altar of cedar-wood, plating it with gold.

bbe@1Kings:6:21 @Solomon had all the inside of the house covered with gold, and he put chains of gold across in front of the inmost room, which itself was covered with gold.

bbe@1Kings:6:22 @Plates of gold were put all through the house till it was covered completely (and the altar in the inmost room was all covered with gold).

bbe@1Kings:6:27 @These were placed inside the inner house, their outstretched wings touching the walls of the house, one touching one wall and one the other, while their other wings were touching in the middle.

bbe@1Kings:6:29 @And all the walls of the house inside and out were ornamented with forms of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers.

bbe@1Kings:6:32 @On the olive-wood doors were cut designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, all of them, with the doors, plated with gold.

bbe@1Kings:6:35 @These were ornamented with designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, plated over with gold.

bbe@1Kings:6:36 @And the inner space was walled with three lines of squared stones and a line of cedar-wood boards.

bbe@1Kings:7:5 @And all the doors and windows had square frames, with the windows facing one another in three lines.

bbe@1Kings:7:9 @All these buildings were made, inside and out, from base to crowning stone, and outside to the great walled square, of highly priced stone, cut to different sizes with cutting-instruments.

bbe@1Kings:7:12 @The great outer square all round was walled with three lines of squared stones and a line of cedar-wood boards, round about the open square inside the house of the Lord and the covered room of the king's house.

bbe@1Kings:7:14 @He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; he was full of wisdom and knowledge and an expert worker in brass. He came to King Solomon and did all his work for him.

bbe@1Kings:7:18 @And he made ornaments of apples; and two lines of apples all round over the network, covering the crowns of the pillars, the two crowns in the same way.

bbe@1Kings:7:23 @And he made a great metal water-vessel ten cubits across from edge to edge, five cubits high and thirty cubits round.

bbe@1Kings:7:24 @And under the edge of it, circling it all round for ten cubits, were two lines of flower buds, made together with it from liquid metal.

bbe@1Kings:7:30 @Every base had four wheels of brass, turning on brass rods, and their four angles had angle-plates under them; the angle-plates under the base were of metal, and there were ornaments at the side of every one.

bbe@1Kings:7:31 @The mouth of it inside the angle-plate was one cubit across; it was round like a pillar, a cubit and a half across; it had designs cut on it; the sides were square, not round.

bbe@1Kings:7:32 @The four wheels were under the frames, and the rods on which the wheels were fixed were in the base; the wheels were a cubit and a half high.

bbe@1Kings:7:33 @The wheels were made like carriage-wheels, the rods on which they were fixed, the parts forming their edges, their rods and the middle points of them, were all formed out of liquid metal.

bbe@1Kings:7:35 @And at the top of the base there was a round vessel, half a cubit high;

bbe@1Kings:7:36 @In the spaces of the flat sides and on the frames of them, he made designs of winged ones, lions, and palm-trees, with ornamented edges all round.

bbe@1Kings:7:37 @All the ten bases were made in this way, after the same design, of the same size and form.

bbe@1Kings:7:40 @And Hiram made the pots and spades and the basins. So Hiram came to the end of all the work he did for King Solomon in the house of the Lord:

bbe@1Kings:7:45 @And the pots and the spades and the basins; all the vessels which Hiram made for King Solomon, for the house of the Lord, were of polished brass.

bbe@1Kings:7:46 @He made them of liquid metal in the lowland of Jordan, at the way across the river, at Adama, between Succoth and Zarethan.

bbe@1Kings:7:47 @The weight of all these vessels was not measured, because there was such a number of them; it was not possible to get the weight of the brass.

bbe@1Kings:7:48 @And Solomon had all the vessels made for use in the house of the Lord: the altar of gold and the gold table on which the holy bread was placed;

bbe@1Kings:7:49 @And the supports for the lights, five on the right side and five on the left before the inmost room, of clear gold; and the flowers and the lights and all the instruments of gold;

bbe@1Kings:7:50 @And the cups and the scissors and the basins and the spoons and the fire-trays, all of gold; and the pins on which the doors were turned, the doors of the inner house, the most holy place, and the doors of the Temple, all of gold.

bbe@1Kings:7:51 @So all the work King Solomon had done in the house of the Lord was complete. Then Solomon took the holy things which David his father had given, the silver and the gold and all the vessels, and put them in the store-houses of the house of the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:8:1 @Then Solomon sent for all the responsible men of Israel, and all the chiefs of the tribes, and the heads of families of the children of Israel, to come to him in Jerusalem to take the ark of the Lord's agreement up out of the town of David, which is Zion.

bbe@1Kings:8:2 @And all the men of Israel came together to King Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, the seventh month.

bbe@1Kings:8:3 @And all the responsible men of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

bbe@1Kings:8:4 @They took up the ark of the Lord, and the Tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels which were in the Tent; all these the priests and the Levites took up.

bbe@1Kings:8:5 @And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there, were with him before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.

bbe@1Kings:8:14 @Then, turning his face about, the king gave a blessing to all the men of Israel; and they were all on their feet together.

bbe@1Kings:8:16 @From the day when I took my people Israel out of Egypt, no town in all the tribes of Israel has been marked out by me for the building of a house for the resting-place of my name; but I made selection of David to be king over my people Israel.

bbe@1Kings:8:22 @Then Solomon took his place before the altar of the Lord, all the men of Israel being present, and stretching out his hands to heaven,

bbe@1Kings:8:23 @Said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on the earth; keeping faith and mercy unchanging for your servants, while they go in your ways with all their hearts.

bbe@1Kings:8:25 @So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, let your word to your servant David, my father, come true, when you said, You will never be without a man to take his place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel before me, if only your children give attention to their ways, walking before me as you have done.

bbe@1Kings:8:31 @If a man does wrong to his neighbour, and has to take an oath, and comes before your altar to take his oath in this house:

bbe@1Kings:8:38 @Whatever prayer or request for your grace is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, whatever his trouble may be, whose hands are stretched out to this house:

bbe@1Kings:8:39 @Give ear in heaven your living-place, acting in mercy; and give to every man whose secret heart is open to you, the reward of all his ways; for you, and you only, have knowledge of the hearts of all the children of men:

bbe@1Kings:8:40 @So that they may give you worship all the days of their life in the land which you gave to our fathers.

bbe@1Kings:8:43 @Give ear in heaven your living-place, and give him his desire, whatever it may be; so that all the peoples of the earth may have knowledge of your name, worshipping you as do your people Israel, and that they may see that this house which I have put up is truly named by your name.

bbe@1Kings:8:48 @And with all their heart and soul are turned again to you, in the land of those who took them prisoners, and make their prayer to you, turning their eyes to this land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I made for your name:

bbe@1Kings:8:53 @For you made them separate from all the peoples of the earth, to be your heritage, as you said by Moses your servant, when you took our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.

bbe@1Kings:8:54 @Then Solomon, after making all these prayers and requests for grace to the Lord, got up from his knees before the altar of the Lord, where his hands had been stretched out in prayer to heaven;

bbe@1Kings:8:55 @And, getting on his feet, he gave a blessing to all the men of Israel, saying with a loud voice,

bbe@1Kings:8:56 @Praise be to the Lord who has given rest to his people Israel, as he gave them his word to do; every word of all his oath, which he gave by the hand of Moses his servant, has come true.

bbe@1Kings:8:58 @Turning our hearts to himself, guiding us to go in all his ways, to keep his orders and his laws and his decisions, which he gave to our fathers.

bbe@1Kings:8:60 @So that all the peoples of the earth may see that the Lord is God, and there is no other.

bbe@1Kings:8:61 @Then let your hearts be without sin before the Lord our God, walking in his laws and keeping his orders as at this day.

bbe@1Kings:8:62 @Now the king, and all Israel with him, were making offerings before the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:8:63 @And Solomon gave to the Lord for peace-offerings, twenty-two thousand oxen and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel kept the feast of the opening of the Lord's house.

bbe@1Kings:8:64 @The same day the king made holy the middle of the open square in front of the house of the Lord, offering there the burned offering and the meal offering and the fat of the peace-offerings; for there was not room on the brass altar of the Lord for the burned offerings and the meal offerings and the fat of the peace-offerings.

bbe@1Kings:8:65 @So Solomon and all Israel with him, a very great meeting, (for the people had come together from the way into Hamath to the river of Egypt,) kept the feast at that time before the Lord our God, for two weeks, even fourteen days.

bbe@1Kings:8:66 @And on the eighth day he sent the people away, and, blessing the king, they went to their tents full of joy and glad in their hearts, because of all the good which the Lord had done to David his servant and to Israel his people.

bbe@1Kings:9:1 @Now when Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house, and all Solomon's desires, which he had in mind were effected;

bbe@1Kings:9:3 @And the Lord said to him, Your prayers and your requests for grace have come to my ears: I have made holy this house which you have made, and I have put my name there for ever; my eyes and my heart will be there at all times.

bbe@1Kings:9:7 @Then I will have Israel cut off from the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for myself, I will put away from before my eyes; and Israel will be a public example, and a word of shame among all peoples.

bbe@1Kings:9:8 @And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder at it and make whistling sounds; and they will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?

bbe@1Kings:9:9 @And their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord their God, who took their fathers out of the land of Egypt; they took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why the Lord has sent all this evil on them.

bbe@1Kings:9:11 @(Hiram, king of Tyre, had given Solomon cedar-trees and cypress-trees and gold, as much as he had need of,) King Solomon gave Hiram twenty towns in the land of Galilee.

bbe@1Kings:9:14 @And Hiram sent the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold.

bbe@1Kings:9:15 @Now, this was the way of Solomon's system of forced work for the building of the Lord's house and of the king's house, and the Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and Megiddo and Gezer....

bbe@1Kings:9:18 @And Baalath and Tamar in the waste land, in that land;

bbe@1Kings:9:19 @And all the store-towns and the towns which Solomon had for his war-carriages and for his horsemen, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.

bbe@1Kings:9:25 @Three times in the year it was Solomon's way to give burned offerings and peace-offerings on the altar he had made to the Lord, causing his fire-offering to go up on the altar before the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:9:28 @And they came to Ophir, where they got four hundred and twenty talents of gold, and took it back to King Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:10:2 @And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels weighted down with spices, and stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.

bbe@1Kings:10:3 @And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which the king did not make clear to her.

bbe@1Kings:10:4 @And when the queen of Sheba had seen all the wisdom of Solomon, and the house which he had made,

bbe@1Kings:10:5 @And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.

bbe@1Kings:10:7 @But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and now I see that it was not half the story; your wisdom and your wealth are much greater than they said.

bbe@1Kings:10:9 @May the Lord your God be praised, whose pleasure it was to put you on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; because the Lord's love for Israel is eternal, he has made you king, to be their judge in righteousness

bbe@1Kings:10:10 @And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a great store of spices and jewels: never again was such a wealth of spices seen as that which the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:10:11 @And the sea-force of Hiram, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with much sandal-wood and jewels.

bbe@1Kings:10:12 @And from the sandal-wood the king made pillars for the house of the Lord, and for the king's house, and instruments of music for the makers of melody: never has such sandal-wood been seen to this day.

bbe@1Kings:10:13 @And King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she made request for, in addition to what he gave her freely from the impulse of his heart. So she went back to her country, she and her servants.

bbe@1Kings:10:14 @Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;

bbe@1Kings:10:15 @In addition to what came to him from the business of the traders, and from all the kings of the Arabians, and from the rulers of the country.

bbe@1Kings:10:17 @And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, with three pounds of gold in every cover: and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.

bbe@1Kings:10:21 @And all King Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the Woods of Lebanon were of the best gold; not one was of silver, for no one gave a thought to silver in the days of King Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:10:23 @And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.

bbe@1Kings:10:24 @And from all over the earth they came to see Solomon and to give ear to his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

bbe@1Kings:10:25 @And everyone took with him an offering, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and robes, and coats of metal, and spices, and horses, and beasts of transport, regularly year by year.

bbe@1Kings:10:26 @And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.

bbe@1Kings:10:27 @And the king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem and cedars like the sycamore-trees of the lowlands in number.

bbe@1Kings:10:29 @A war-carriage might be got from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; they got them at the same rate for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.

bbe@1Kings:11:6 @And Solomon did evil in the eyes of the Lord, not walking in the Lord's ways with all his heart as David his father did.

bbe@1Kings:11:7 @Then Solomon put up a high place for Chemosh, the disgusting god of Moab, in the mountain before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the disgusting god worshipped by the children of Ammon.

bbe@1Kings:11:8 @And so he did for all his strange wives, who made offerings with burning of perfumes to their gods.

bbe@1Kings:11:13 @Still I will not take all the kingdom from him; but I will give one tribe to your son, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town of my selection.

bbe@1Kings:11:15 @And when David had sent destruction on Edom, and Joab, the captain of the army, had gone to put the dead into the earth, and had put to death every male in Edom;

bbe@1Kings:11:16 @(For Joab and all Israel were there six months till every male in Edom had been cut off;)

bbe@1Kings:11:25 @He was a trouble to Israel all through the days of Solomon. And this is the damage Hadad did: he was cruel to Israel while he was ruler over Edom.

bbe@1Kings:11:28 @And Jeroboam was an able and responsible man; and Solomon saw that he was a good worker and made him overseer of all the work given to the sons of Joseph.

bbe@1Kings:11:29 @Now at that time, when Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite came across him on the road; now Ahijah had put on a new robe; and the two of them were by themselves in the open country.

bbe@1Kings:11:32 @(But one tribe will be his, because of my servant David, and because of Jerusalem, the town which, out of all the tribes of Israel, I have made mine,)

bbe@1Kings:11:33 @Because they are turned away from me to the worship of Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the Ammonites; they have not been walking in my ways or doing what is right in my eyes or keeping my laws and my decisions as his father David did.

bbe@1Kings:11:34 @But I will not take the kingdom from him; I will let him be king all the days of his life, because of David my servant, in whom I took delight because he kept my orders and my laws.

bbe@1Kings:11:36 @And one tribe I will give to his son, so that David my servant may have a light for ever burning before me in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine to put my name there.

bbe@1Kings:11:38 @And if you give attention to the orders I give you, walking in my ways and doing what is right in my eyes and keeping my laws and my orders as David my servant did; then I will be with you, building up for you a safe house, as I did for David, and I will give Israel to you.

bbe@1Kings:11:41 @Now the rest of the acts of Solomon, and all he did, and his wisdom, are they not recorded in the book of the acts of Solomon?

bbe@1Kings:11:42 @And the time Solomon was king in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

bbe@1Kings:12:1 @And Rehoboam went to Shechem, where all Israel had come together to make him king,

bbe@1Kings:12:3 @And all the men of Israel came to Rehoboam and said,

bbe@1Kings:12:12 @So all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had given orders, saying, Come back to me the third day.

bbe@1Kings:12:16 @And when all Israel saw that the king would give no attention to them, the people in answer said to the king, What part have we in David? what is our heritage in the son of Jesse? to your tents, O Israel; now see to your people, David. So Israel went away to their tents.

bbe@1Kings:12:18 @Then King Rehoboam sent Adoniram, the overseer of the forced work; and he was stoned to death by all Israel. And King Rehoboam went quickly and got into his carriage to go in flight to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Kings:12:20 @Now when all Israel had news that Jeroboam had come back, they sent for him to come before the meeting of the people, and made him king over Israel: not one of them was joined to the family of David but only the tribe of Judah.

bbe@1Kings:12:21 @When Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he got together all the men of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand of his best fighting-men, to make war against Israel and get the kingdom back for Rehoboam, the son of Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:12:23 @Say to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the men of Judah and Benjamin and the rest of the people:

bbe@1Kings:12:27 @If the people go up to make offerings in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, their heart will be turned again to their lord, to Rehoboam, king of Judah; and they will put me to death and go back to Rehoboam, king of Judah.

bbe@1Kings:12:28 @So after taking thought the king made two oxen of gold; and he said to the people, You have been going up to Jerusalem long enough; see! these are your gods, O Israel, who took you out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@1Kings:12:31 @And he made places for worship at the high places, and made priests, who were not Levites, from among all the people.

bbe@1Kings:12:32 @And Jeroboam gave orders for a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast which is kept in Judah, and he went up to the altar. And in the same way, in Beth-el, he gave offerings to the oxen which he had made, placing in Beth-el the priests of the high places he had made.

bbe@1Kings:12:33 @He went up to the altar he had made in Beth-el on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, the month fixed by him at his pleasure; and he gave orders for a feast for the people of Israel, and went up to the altar, and there he made the smoke of his offerings go up.

bbe@1Kings:13:1 @Then a man of God came from Judah by the order of the Lord to Beth-el, where Jeroboam was by the altar, burning offerings.

bbe@1Kings:13:2 @And by the order of the Lord he made an outcry against the altar, saying, O altar, altar, the Lord has said, From the seed of David will come a child, named Josiah, and on you he will put to death the priests of the high places, who are burning offerings on you, and men's bones will be burned on you.

bbe@1Kings:13:3 @The same day he gave them a sign, saying, This is the sign which the Lord has given: See, the altar will be broken and the burned waste on it overturned.

bbe@1Kings:13:4 @Then the king, hearing the man of God crying out against the altar at Beth-el, put out his hand from the altar, saying, Take him prisoner. And his hand, stretched out against him, became dead, and he had no power of pulling it back.

bbe@1Kings:13:5 @And the altar was broken and the burned waste on it overturned; this was the sign which the man of God had given by the word of the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:13:8 @But the man of God said to the king, Even if you gave me half of all you have, I would not go in with you, and I would not take food or a drink of water in this place;

bbe@1Kings:13:11 @Now there was an old prophet living in Beth-el; and one of his sons came and gave him word of all the man of God had done that day in Beth-el, and they gave their father an account of the words he had said to the king.

bbe@1Kings:13:15 @Then he said to him, Come back to the house with me and have a meal

bbe@1Kings:13:18 @Then he said to him, I am a prophet like you; and an angel said to me by the word of the Lord, Take him back with you and give him food and water. But he said false words to him.

bbe@1Kings:13:19 @So he went back with him, and had a meal in his house and a drink of water.

bbe@1Kings:13:23 @Now after the meal he made ready the ass for him, for the prophet whom he had taken back.

bbe@1Kings:13:32 @For the outcry he made by the word of the Lord against the altar in Beth-el and against all the houses of the high places in the towns of Samaria, will certainly come about.

bbe@1Kings:13:33 @After this Jeroboam, not turning back from his evil ways, still made priests for his altars from among all the people; he made a priest of anyone desiring it, so that there might be priests of the high places.

bbe@1Kings:14:8 @And took the kingdom away by force from the seed of David and gave it to you, you have not been like my servant David, who kept my orders, and was true to me with all his heart, doing only what was right in my eyes.

bbe@1Kings:14:9 @But you have done evil more than any before you, and have made for yourself other gods, and images of metal, moving me to wrath, and turning your back on me.

bbe@1Kings:14:10 @So I will send evil on the line of Jeroboam, cutting off from his family every male child, those who are shut up and those who go free in Israel; the family of Jeroboam will be brushed away like a man brushing away waste till it is all gone.

bbe@1Kings:14:13 @And all Israel will put his body to rest, weeping over him, because he only of the family of Jeroboam will be put into his resting-place in the earth; for of all the family of Jeroboam, in him only has the Lord, the God of Israel, seen some good.

bbe@1Kings:14:18 @And all Israel put his body to rest, weeping over him, as the Lord had said by his servant Ahijah the prophet.

bbe@1Kings:14:21 @And Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, was king in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he was king for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the town which the Lord had made his out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman.

bbe@1Kings:14:25 @Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem;

bbe@1Kings:14:26 @And took away all the stored wealth from the house of the Lord, and from the king's house, and all the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.

bbe@1Kings:14:29 @Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

bbe@1Kings:14:30 @And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.

bbe@1Kings:15:2 @For three years he was king in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.

bbe@1Kings:15:4 @But because of David, the Lord gave him a light in Jerusalem, making his sons king after him, so that Jerusalem might be safe;

bbe@1Kings:15:5 @Because David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and never in all his life went against his orders, but only in the question of Uriah the Hittite.

bbe@1Kings:15:7 @Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.

bbe@1Kings:15:10 @And he was king for forty-one years in Jerusalem; his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.

bbe@1Kings:15:12 @Those used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods he sent out of the country, and he took away all the images which his fathers had made.

bbe@1Kings:15:14 @The high places, however, were not taken away: but still the heart of Asa was true to the Lord all his life.

bbe@1Kings:15:15 @He took into the house of the Lord all the things which his father had made holy, and those which he himself had made holy, silver and gold and vessels.

bbe@1Kings:15:16 @Now there was war between Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, all their days.

bbe@1Kings:15:18 @Then Asa took all the silver and gold which was still stored in the Lord's house, and in the king's house, and sent them, in the care of his servants, to Ben-hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Rezon, king of Aram, at Damascus, saying,

bbe@1Kings:15:20 @So Ben-hadad did as King Asa said, and sent the captains of his armies against the towns of Israel, attacking Ijon and Dan and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth as far as all the land of Naphtali.

bbe@1Kings:15:22 @Then King Asa got all Judah together, making every man come; and they took away the stones and the wood with which Baasha was building Ramah, and King Asa made use of them for building Geba in the land of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

bbe@1Kings:15:23 @Now the rest of the acts of Asa, and his power, and all he did, and the towns of which he was the builder, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah? But when he was old he had a disease of the feet.

bbe@1Kings:15:29 @And straight away when he became king, he sent destruction on all the offspring of Jeroboam; there was not one living person of all the family of Jeroboam whom he did not put to death, so the word of the Lord, which he said by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite, came about;

bbe@1Kings:15:31 @Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

bbe@1Kings:15:32 @And there was war between Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, all their days.

bbe@1Kings:15:33 @In the third year of the rule of Asa, king of Judah, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, became king over all Israel in Tirzah, and was king for twenty-four years.

bbe@1Kings:16:3 @Truly, I will see that Baasha and all his family are completely brushed away; I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.

bbe@1Kings:16:7 @And the Lord sent his word against Baasha and his family by the mouth of the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani, because of all the evil he did in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath by the work of his hands, because he was like the family of Jeroboam, and because he put it to death.

bbe@1Kings:16:9 @And his servant Zimri, captain of half his war-carriages, made secret designs against him: now he was in Tirzah, drinking hard in the house of Arza, controller of the king's house in Tirzah.

bbe@1Kings:16:11 @And straight away when he became king and took his place on the seat of the kingdom, he put to death all the family of Baasha: not one male child of his relations or his friends kept his life.

bbe@1Kings:16:12 @So Zimri put to death all the family of Baasha, so that the word which the Lord said against him by the mouth of Jehu the prophet came about;

bbe@1Kings:16:13 @Because of all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath by their foolish acts.

bbe@1Kings:16:14 @Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

bbe@1Kings:16:16 @And news came to the people in the tents that Zimri had made a secret design and had put the king to death: so all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king that day in the tents.

bbe@1Kings:16:17 @Then Omri went up from Gibbethon, with all the army of Israel, and they made an attack on Tirzah, shutting in the town on every side.

bbe@1Kings:16:21 @Then there was a division among the people of Israel; half the people were for making Tibni, son of Ginath, king, and half were supporting Omri

bbe@1Kings:16:24 @He got the hill Samaria from Shemer for the price of two talents of silver, and he made a town there, building it on the hill and naming it Samaria, after Shemer the owner of the hill.

bbe@1Kings:16:25 @And Omri did evil in the eyes of the Lord, even worse than all those before him,

bbe@1Kings:16:26 @Copying all the evil ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and all the sins he did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath by their foolish ways.

bbe@1Kings:16:30 @And Ahab, the son of Omri, did evil in the eyes of the Lord, even worse than all who went before him.

bbe@1Kings:16:31 @And as if copying the evil ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, was a small thing for him, he took as his wife Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of Zidon, and became a servant and worshipper of Baal.

bbe@1Kings:16:32 @And he put up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal which he had made in Samaria.

bbe@1Kings:16:33 @And Ahab made an image of Asherah and did more than all the kings of Israel before him to make the Lord, the God of Israel, angry.

bbe@1Kings:17:11 @And when she was going to get it, he said to her, And get me with it a small bit of bread.

bbe@1Kings:17:12 @Then she said, By the life of the Lord your God, I have nothing but a little meal in my store, and a drop of oil in the bottle; and now I am getting two sticks together so that I may go in and make it ready for me and my son, so that we may have a meal before our death.

bbe@1Kings:17:14 @For this is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: The store of meal will not come to an end, and the bottle will never be without oil, till the day when the Lord sends rain on the earth.

bbe@1Kings:17:16 @The store of meal did not come to an end, and the bottle was never without oil, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Elijah.

bbe@1Kings:18:5 @And Ahab said to Obadiah, Come, let us go through all the country, to all the fountains of water and all the rivers, and see if there is any grass to be had for the horses and the transport beasts, so that we may be able to keep some of the beasts from destruction.

bbe@1Kings:18:6 @So they went through all the country, covering it between them; Ahab went in one direction by himself, and Obadiah went in another by himself.

bbe@1Kings:18:18 @Then he said in answer, I have not been troubling Israel, but you and your family; because, turning away from the orders of the Lord, you have gone after the Baals.

bbe@1Kings:18:19 @Now send, and get Israel together before me at Mount Carmel, with the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal who get their food at Jezebel's table.

bbe@1Kings:18:20 @So Ahab sent for all the children of Israel, and got the prophets together at Mount Carmel.

bbe@1Kings:18:21 @And Elijah came near to all the people and said, How long will you go on balancing between two opinions? if the Lord is God, then give worship to him; but if Baal, give worship to him. And the people said not a word in answer.

bbe@1Kings:18:22 @Then Elijah said to the people, I, even I, am the only living prophet of the Lord; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.

bbe@1Kings:18:24 @And do you make prayers to your god, and I will make a prayer to the Lord: and it will be clear that the one who gives an answer by fire is God. And all the people in answer said, It is well said.

bbe@1Kings:18:25 @Then Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, Take one ox for yourselves and get it ready first, for there are more of you; and make your prayers to your god, but put no fire under.

bbe@1Kings:18:26 @So they took the ox which was given them, and made it ready, crying out to Baal from morning till the middle of the day, and saying, O Baal, give ear to us. But there was no voice and no answer. And they were jumping up and down before the altar they had made.

bbe@1Kings:18:28 @So they gave loud cries, cutting themselves with knives and swords, as was their way, till the blood came streaming out all over them.

bbe@1Kings:18:30 @Then Elijah said to all the people, Come near to me; and all the people came near. And he put up again the altar of the Lord which had been broken down.

bbe@1Kings:18:32 @And with the stones he made an altar to the name of the Lord; and he made a deep drain all round the altar, great enough to take two measures of seed.

bbe@1Kings:18:35 @And the water went all round the altar, till the drain was full.

bbe@1Kings:18:36 @Then at the time of the offering, Elijah the prophet came near and said, O Lord, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be seen this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things by your order.

bbe@1Kings:18:39 @And when the people saw it, they all went down on their faces, and said, The Lord, he is God, the Lord, he is God.

bbe@1Kings:18:40 @And Elijah said to them, Take the prophets of Baal, let not one of them get away. So they took them, and Elijah made them go down to the stream Kishon, and put them to death there.

bbe@1Kings:18:44 @And the seventh time he said, I see a cloud coming up out of the sea, as small as a man's hand. Then he said, Go up and say to Ahab, Get your carriage ready and go down or the rain will keep you back.

bbe@1Kings:19:1 @Ahab gave Jezebel news of all Elijah had done, and how he had put all the prophets to death with the sword.

bbe@1Kings:19:10 @And he said, I have been burning for the honour of the Lord, the God of armies; for the children of Israel have not kept your agreement; they have made destruction of your altars, and have put your prophets to death with the sword: till I, even I, am the only one living; and now they are attempting to take away my life

bbe@1Kings:19:14 @And he said, I have been burning for the honour of the Lord, the God of armies; for the children of Israel have not kept your agreement; they have had your altars broken down, and have put your prophets to death with the sword: till I, even I, am the only one living; and now they are attempting to take away my life.

bbe@1Kings:19:18 @But I will keep safe seven thousand in Israel, all those whose knees have not been bent to Baal, and whose mouths have given him no kisses.

bbe@1Kings:19:19 @So he went away from there and came across Elisha, the son of Shaphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen, he himself walking with the twelfth; and Elijah went up to him and put his robe on him.

bbe@1Kings:20:1 @Now Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got all his army together, and thirty-two kings with him, and horses and carriages of war; he went up and made war on Samaria, shutting it in.

bbe@1Kings:20:4 @And the king of Israel sent him an answer saying, As you say, my lord king, I am yours with all I have.

bbe@1Kings:20:7 @Then the king of Israel sent for all the responsible men of the land, and said, Now will you take note and see the evil purpose of this man: he sent for my wives and my children, my silver and my gold, and I did not keep them back.

bbe@1Kings:20:8 @And all the responsible men and the people said to him, Do not give attention to him or do what he says.

bbe@1Kings:20:9 @So he said to the representatives of Ben-hadad, Say to my lord the king, All the orders you sent the first time I will do; but this thing I may not do. And the representatives went back with this answer.

bbe@1Kings:20:10 @Then Ben-hadad sent to him, saying, May the gods' punishment be on me if there is enough of the dust of Samaria for all the people at my feet to take some in their hands.

bbe@1Kings:20:11 @And the king of Israel said in answer, Say to him, The time for loud talk is not when a man is putting on his arms, but when he is taking them off.

bbe@1Kings:20:13 @Then a prophet came up to Ahab, king of Israel, and said, The Lord says, Have you seen all this great army? See, I will give it into your hands today, and you will see that I am the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:20:15 @Then he got together the servants of all the chiefs who were over the divisions of the land, two hundred and thirty-two of them; and after them, he got together all the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand.

bbe@1Kings:20:27 @And the children of Israel got themselves together, and food was made ready and they went against them; the tents of the children of Israel were like two little flocks of goats before them, but all the country was full of the Aramaeans.

bbe@1Kings:20:28 @And a man of God came up and said to the king of Israel, The Lord says, Because the Aramaeans have said, The Lord is a god of the hills and not of the valleys; I will give all this great army into your hands, and you will see that I am the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:20:30 @But the rest went in flight to Aphek, into the town, where a wall came down on the twenty-seven thousand who were still living. And Ben-hadad went in flight into the town, into an inner room.

bbe@1Kings:20:39 @And when the king went by, crying out to him he said, Your servant went out into the fight; and a man came out to me with another man and said, Keep this man: if by any chance he gets away, your life will be the price of his life, or you will have to give a talent of silver in payment.

bbe@1Kings:21:2 @And Ahab said to Naboth, Give me your vine-garden so that I may have it for a garden of sweet plants, for it is near my house; and let me give you a better vine-garden in exchange, or, if it seems good to you, let me give you its value in money.

bbe@1Kings:21:6 @And he said to her, Because I was talking to Naboth the Jezreelite, and I said to him, Let me have your vine-garden for a price, or, if it is pleasing to you, I will give you another vine-garden for it: and he said, I will not give you my vine-garden.

bbe@1Kings:21:21 @See, I will send evil on you and put an end to you completely, cutting off from Ahab every male child, him who is shut up and him who goes free in Israel;

bbe@1Kings:21:26 @He did a very disgusting thing in going after false gods, doing all the things the Amorites did, whom the Lord sent out before the children of Israel.)

bbe@1Kings:22:6 @So the king of Israel got all the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@1Kings:22:10 @Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were seated on their seats of authority, dressed in their robes, by the doorway into Samaria; and all the prophets were acting as prophets before them.

bbe@1Kings:22:12 @And all the prophets said the same thing, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and it will go well for you, for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@1Kings:22:13 @Now the servant who had gone to get Micaiah said to him, See now, all the prophets with one voice are saying good things to the king; so let your words be like theirs and say good things.

bbe@1Kings:22:17 @Then he said, I saw all Israel wandering on the mountains like sheep without a keeper; and the Lord said, These have no master: let them go back, every man to his house in peace.

bbe@1Kings:22:19 @And he said, Give ear now to the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord seated on his seat of power, with all the army of heaven in their places round him at his right hand and at his left.

bbe@1Kings:22:22 @And the Lord said, How? And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.

bbe@1Kings:22:23 @And now, see, the Lord has put a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the Lord has said evil against you.

bbe@1Kings:22:28 @And Micaiah said, If you come back at all in peace, the Lord has not sent his word by me.

bbe@1Kings:22:31 @Now the king of Aram had given orders to the thirty-two captains of his war-carriages, saying, Make no attack on small or great, but only on the king of Israel.

bbe@1Kings:22:36 @And about sundown a cry went up from all parts of the army, saying, Let every man go back to his town and his country, for the king is dead.

bbe@1Kings:22:39 @Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all he did, and his ivory house, and all the towns of which he was the builder, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

bbe@1Kings:22:42 @Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he was king for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.

bbe@1Kings:22:47 @He put an end to the rest of those who were used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods, all those who were still in the land in the time of his father Asa.

bbe@1Kings:22:54 @He was a servant and worshipper of Baal, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath, as his father had done.

bbe@2Kings:1:2 @Now Ahaziah had a fall from the window of his room in Samaria, and was ill. And he sent men, and said to them, Put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, about the outcome of my disease, to see if I will get well or not.

bbe@2Kings:1:3 @But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, Go now, and, meeting the men sent by the king of Samaria, say to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you are going to get directions from Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?

bbe@2Kings:1:6 @And they said to him, On our way we had a meeting with a man who said, Go back to the king who sent you and say to him, The Lord says, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you send to put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? For this reason, you will not come down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you.

bbe@2Kings:1:13 @Then he sent a third captain of fifty with his fifty men; and the third captain of fifty went up, and falling on his knees before Elijah, requesting mercy of him, said, O man of God, let my life and the life of these your fifty servants be of value to you.

bbe@2Kings:1:14 @For fire came down from heaven and put an end to the first two captains of fifty and their fifties; but now let my life be of value in your eyes.

bbe@2Kings:1:16 @And he said to him, This is the word of the Lord: Because you sent men to put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, for this reason you will never again get down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you.

bbe@2Kings:2:1 @Now when the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a great wind, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

bbe@2Kings:2:9 @And when they had come to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, Say what you would have me do for you before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, Be pleased to let a special measure of your spirit be on me.

bbe@2Kings:2:11 @And while they went on their way, going on talking together, suddenly there were carriages and horses of fire separating them from one another and Elijah went up to heaven in a great wind.

bbe@2Kings:2:16 @And they said, Your servants have with us here fifty strong men; be pleased to let them go in search of Elijah; for it may be that the spirit of the Lord has taken him up and put him down on some mountain or in some valley. But he said, Do not send them.

bbe@2Kings:2:20 @So he said, Get me a new vessel, and put salt in it; and they took it to him.

bbe@2Kings:2:21 @Then he went out to the spring from which the water came, and put salt in it, and said, The Lord says, Now I have made this water sweet; no longer will it be death-giving or unfertile.

bbe@2Kings:3:2 @He did evil in the eyes of the Lord; but not like his father and his mother, for he put away the stone pillar of Baal which his father had made.

bbe@2Kings:3:6 @At that time, King Jehoram went out from Samaria and got all Israel together in fighting order.

bbe@2Kings:3:16 @And he said, The Lord says, I will make this valley full of water-holes.

bbe@2Kings:3:17 @For the Lord says, Though you see no wind or rain, the valley will be full of water, and you and your armies and your beasts will have drink.

bbe@2Kings:3:18 @And this will be only a small thing to the Lord: in addition he will give the Moabites into your hands.

bbe@2Kings:3:19 @And you are to put every walled town to destruction, cutting down every good tree, and stopping up every water-spring, and making all the good land rough with stones.

bbe@2Kings:3:21 @Now all Moab, hearing that the kings had come to make war against them, got together all who were able to take up arms and went forward to the edge of the country.

bbe@2Kings:3:25 @Pulling down the towns, covering every good field with stones, stopping up all the water-springs, and cutting down all the good trees; they went on driving Moab before them till only in Kir-hareseth were there any Moabites; and the fighting-men went round the town raining stones on it.

bbe@2Kings:3:27 @Then he took his oldest son, who would have been king after him, offering him as a burned offering on the wall. So there was great wrath against Israel; and they went away from him, back to their country.

bbe@2Kings:4:3 @Then he said, Go out to all your neighbours and get vessels, a very great number of them.

bbe@2Kings:4:4 @Then go in, and, shutting the door on yourself and your sons, put oil into all these vessels, putting on one side the full ones.

bbe@2Kings:4:6 @And when all the vessels were full, she said to her son, Get me another vessel. And he said, There are no more. And the flow of oil was stopped.

bbe@2Kings:4:8 @Now there came a day when Elisha went to Shunem, and there was a woman of high position living there, who made him come in and have a meal with her. And after that, every time he went by, he went into her house for a meal.

bbe@2Kings:4:10 @So let us make a little room on the wall; and put a bed there for him, and a table and a seat and a light; so that when he comes to us, he will be able to go in there

bbe@2Kings:4:13 @And he said to him, Now say to her, See, you have taken all this trouble for us; what is to be done for you? will you have any request made for you to the king or the captain of the army? But she said, I am living among my people.

bbe@2Kings:4:16 @And Elisha said, At this time in the coming year you will have a son in your arms. And she said, No, my lord, O man of God, do not say what is false to your servant.

bbe@2Kings:4:26 @Go quickly to her, and on meeting her say to her, Are you well? and your husband and the child, are they well? And she said in answer, All is well.

bbe@2Kings:4:28 @Then she said, Did I make a request to my lord for a son? did I not say, Do not give me false words?

bbe@2Kings:4:35 @Then he came back, and after walking once through the house and back, he went up, stretching himself out on the child seven times; and the child's eyes became open.

bbe@2Kings:4:38 @And Elisha went back to Gilgal, now there was very little food in the land; and the sons of the prophets were seated before him. And he said to his servant, Put the great pot on the fire, and make soup for the sons of the prophets.

bbe@2Kings:4:39 @And one went out into the field to get green plants and saw a vine of the field, and pulling off the fruit of it till the fold of his robe was full, he came back and put the fruit, cut up small, into the pot of soup, having no idea what it was.

bbe@2Kings:4:41 @But he said, Get some meal. And he put it into the pot, and said, Now give it to the people so that they may have food. And there was nothing bad in the pot.

bbe@2Kings:4:42 @Now a man came from Baal-shalishah with an offering of first-fruits for the man of God, twenty barley cakes and garden fruit in his bag. And he said, Give these to the people for food.

bbe@2Kings:4:44 @So he put it before them, and they had a meal and there was more than enough, as the Lord had said.

bbe@2Kings:5:1 @Now Naaman, chief of the army of the king of Aram, was a man of high position with his master, and greatly respected, because by him the Lord had given salvation to Aram; but he was a leper.

bbe@2Kings:5:5 @So the king of Aram said, Go then; and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he went, taking with him ten talents of silver and six thousand shekels of gold, and ten changes of clothing.

bbe@2Kings:5:9 @So Naaman, with all his horses and his carriages, came to the door of Elisha's house.

bbe@2Kings:5:12 @Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not be washed in them and become clean? So turning, he went away in wrath

bbe@2Kings:5:15 @Then he went back to the man of God, with all his train, and, taking his place before him, said, Now I am certain that there is no God in all the earth, but only in Israel: now then, take an offering from me.

bbe@2Kings:5:21 @So Gehazi went after Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running after him, he got down from his carriage and went back to him and said, Is all well?

bbe@2Kings:5:22 @And he said, All is well: but my master has sent me, saying, Even now, two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim; will you give me a talent of silver and two changes of clothing for them?

bbe@2Kings:5:23 @And Naaman said, Be good enough to take two talents. And forcing him to take them, he put two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and gave them to his two servants to take before him.

bbe@2Kings:6:15 @Now the servant of the man of God, having got up early and gone out, saw an army with horses and carriages of war all round the town. And the servant said to him, O my master, what are we to do?

bbe@2Kings:6:17 @Then Elisha made a prayer to the Lord, saying, Lord, let his eyes be open so that he may see. And the Lord made the young man's eyes open; and he saw that all the mountain was full of horses and carriages of fire round Elisha.

bbe@2Kings:6:24 @Now after this, Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got together all his army and went up to make an attack on Samaria, shutting the town in on all sides with his forces.

bbe@2Kings:6:25 @And they became very short of food in Samaria; for they kept it shut in till the price of an ass's head was eighty shekels of silver, and a small measure of doves' droppings was five shekels of silver.

bbe@2Kings:6:26 @And when the king of Israel was going by on the wall, a woman came crying out to him, and said, Help! my lord king.

bbe@2Kings:6:29 @So, boiling my son, we had a meal of him; and on the day after I said to her, Now give your son for our food; but she has put her son in a secret place.

bbe@2Kings:6:30 @Then the king, hearing what the woman said, took his robes in his hands, violently parting them; and, while he was walking on the wall, the people, looking, saw that under his robe he had haircloth on his flesh.

bbe@2Kings:6:33 @While he was still talking to them, the king came down and said, This evil is from the Lord; why am I to go on waiting any longer for the Lord?

bbe@2Kings:7:1 @Then Elisha said, Give ear to the word of the Lord: the Lord says, Tomorrow, about this time, a measure of good meal will be offered for the price of a shekel and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the market-place of Samaria.

bbe@2Kings:7:5 @So in the half light they got up to go to the tents of Aram; but when they came to the outer line of tents, there was no one there.

bbe@2Kings:7:7 @So they got up and went in flight, in the half light, without their tents or their horses or their asses or any of their goods; they went in flight, fearing for their lives.

bbe@2Kings:7:13 @And one of his servants said in answer, Send men and let them take five of the horses which we still have in the town; if they keep their lives they will be the same as those of Israel who are still living here; if they come to their death they will be the same as all those of Israel who have gone to destruction: let us send and see.

bbe@2Kings:7:15 @And they went after them as far as Jordan; and all the road was covered with clothing and vessels dropped by the Aramaeans in their flight. So those who were sent went back and gave the news to the king.

bbe@2Kings:7:18 @So the words of the man of God came true, which he said to the king: Two measures of barley will be offered for the price of a shekel and a measure of good meal for a shekel, tomorrow about this time in the market-place of Samaria.

bbe@2Kings:8:1 @Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had given back to life, Go now, with all the people of your house, and get a living-place for yourselves wherever you are able; for by the word of the Lord, there will be great need of food in the land; and this will go on for seven years.

bbe@2Kings:8:4 @Now the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Now, give me an account of all the great things Elisha has done.

bbe@2Kings:8:6 @And in answer to the king's questions, the woman gave him all the story. So the king gave orders to one of his unsexed servants, saying, Give her back all her property, and all the produce of her fields from the day when she went away from the land up till now.

bbe@2Kings:8:17 @He was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.

bbe@2Kings:8:21 @Then Joram went over to Zair, with all his war-carriages;... made an attack by night on the Edomites, whose forces were all round him,... the captains of the war-carriages; and the people went in flight to their tents.

bbe@2Kings:8:23 @Now the rest of the acts of Joram, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

bbe@2Kings:8:26 @Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, king of Israel.

bbe@2Kings:9:7 @You are to see that the family of Ahab your master is cut off, so that I may take from Jezebel payment for the blood of my servants the prophets, and for the blood of all the servants of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:9:8 @For the family of Ahab will come to an end; every male of Ahab's family will be cut off, he who is shut up and he who goes free in Israel.

bbe@2Kings:9:11 @Then Jehu came out again to the servants of his lord, and one said to him, Is all well? why did this man, who is off his head, come to you? And he said to them, You have knowledge of the man and of his talk.

bbe@2Kings:9:14 @So Jehu, the son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, made designs against Joram. (Now Joram and all the army of Israel were keeping watch on Ramoth-gilead because of Hazael, king of Aram:

bbe@2Kings:9:22 @Now when Joram saw Jehu he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he said in answer, What peace is possible while all the land is full of the disgusting sins of your mother Jezebel, and her secret arts?

bbe@2Kings:9:24 @Then Jehu took his bow in his hand, and with all his strength sent an arrow, wounding Joram between the arms; and the arrow came out at his heart, and he went down on his face in his carriage.

bbe@2Kings:9:28 @And his servants took him in a carriage to Jerusalem, and put him into the earth with his fathers in the town of David.

bbe@2Kings:9:31 @And when Jehu was coming into the town, she said, Is all well, O Zimri, taker of your master's life?

bbe@2Kings:9:33 @And he said, Take her and put her out of the window. So they sent her down with force, and her blood went in a shower on the wall and on the horses; and she was crushed under their feet.

bbe@2Kings:10:2 @Straight away, when you get this letter, seeing that your master's sons are with you, and that you have carriages and horses and a walled town and arms;

bbe@2Kings:10:5 @So the controller of the king's house, with the ruler of the town, and the responsible men, and those who had the care of Ahab's sons, sent to Jehu, saying, We are your servants and will do all your orders; we will not make any man king; do whatever seems best to you.

bbe@2Kings:10:7 @And when the letter came to them, they took the king's sons and put them to death, all the seventy, and put their heads in baskets and sent them to him at Jezreel.

bbe@2Kings:10:9 @And in the morning he went out and, stopping, said to all the people there, You are upright men: it is true that I made designs against my master, and put him to death; but who is responsible for the death of all these?

bbe@2Kings:10:11 @So Jehu put to death all the rest of the seed of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his relations and his near friends and his priests, till there were no more of them.

bbe@2Kings:10:17 @And when he came to Samaria, he put to death all those of Ahab's family who were still in Samaria, till there were no more of them, as the Lord had said to Elijah.

bbe@2Kings:10:18 @Then Jehu got all the people together and said to them, Ahab was Baal's servant in a small way, but Jehu will be his servant on a great scale.

bbe@2Kings:10:19 @Now send for all the prophets of Baal and all his servants and all his priests, to come to me; let no one keep away: for I have a great offering to make to Baal; anyone who is not present, will be put to death. This Jehu did with deceit, his purpose being the destruction of the servants of Baal.

bbe@2Kings:10:20 @And Jehu said, Let there be a special holy meeting for the worship of Baal. So a public statement was made.

bbe@2Kings:10:21 @And Jehu sent out through all Israel; and all the servants of Baal came, not one kept away. And they came into the house of Baal, so that it was full from end to end.

bbe@2Kings:10:22 @And Jehu said to him who kept the robes, Get out robes for all the servants of Baal. So he got out robes for them.

bbe@2Kings:10:23 @And Jehu, with Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, went into the house of Baal; and he said to the servants of Baal, Make a search with care, to see that no servant of the Lord is with you, but only servants of Baal.

bbe@2Kings:10:25 @Then when the burned offering was ended, straight away Jehu said to the armed men and the captains, Go in and put them to death; let not one come out. So they put them to the sword; and, pulling the images to the earth, they went into the holy place of the house of Baal.

bbe@2Kings:10:26 @And they took out the image of Asherah from the house of Baal, and had it burned.

bbe@2Kings:10:27 @The altar of Baal was pulled down and the house of Baal was broken up and made an unclean place, as it is to this day.

bbe@2Kings:10:28 @So Jehu put an end to the worship of Baal in Israel.

bbe@2Kings:10:29 @But Jehu did not keep himself from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and the evil he made Israel do; the gold oxen were still in Beth-el and in Dan.

bbe@2Kings:10:30 @And the Lord said to Jehu, Because you have done well in doing what is right in my eyes and effecting all my purpose for the family of Ahab, your sons will be kings of Israel to the fourth generation.

bbe@2Kings:10:31 @But Jehu did not take care to keep the law of the Lord with all his heart: he did not keep himself from the sin which Jeroboam did and made Israel do.

bbe@2Kings:10:32 @In those days the Lord was angry first with Israel; and Hazael made attacks on all the land of Israel,

bbe@2Kings:10:33 @East of Jordan, in all the land of Gilead, the Gadites and the Reubenites and the Manassites, from Aroer by the valley of the Arnon, all Gilead and Bashan.

bbe@2Kings:11:1 @Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she had all the rest of the seed of the kingdom put to death.

bbe@2Kings:11:2 @But Jehosheba, the daughter of King Joram, sister of Ahaziah, secretly took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, with the woman who took care of him, away from among the king's sons who were put to death, and put him in the bedroom; and they kept him safe from Athaliah, so that he was not put to death.

bbe@2Kings:11:3 @And for six years she kept him safe in the house of the Lord, while Athaliah was ruling over the land.

bbe@2Kings:11:11 @Then the armed men took up their positions, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, round about the altar and the house

bbe@2Kings:11:12 @Then he made the king's son come out, and put the crown on him and the arm-bands, and made him king, and put the holy oil on him; and they all, making sounds of joy with their hands, said, Long life to the king.

bbe@2Kings:11:13 @Now Athaliah, hearing the noise made by the people, came to the people in the house of the Lord;

bbe@2Kings:11:14 @And looking, she saw the king in his regular place by the pillar, and the captains and the horns near him; and all the people of the land giving signs of joy and sounding the horns. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, gave a cry, saying, Broken faith, broken faith!

bbe@2Kings:11:18 @Then all the people of the land went to the house of Baal and had it pulled down: its altars and images were all broken to bits, and Mattan, the priest of Baal, they put to death before the altars. And the priest put overseers over the Lord's house.

bbe@2Kings:11:19 @Then he took the captains of hundreds, and the Carians, and the armed men, and all the people of the land; and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord, through the doorway of the armed men, to the king's house. And he took his place on the seat of the kings.

bbe@2Kings:11:20 @So all the people of the land were glad, and the town was quiet; and they had put Athaliah to death with the sword at the king's house.

bbe@2Kings:12:1 @In the seventh year of Jehu's rule, Jehoash became king; and he was ruling for forty years in Jerusalem; his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.

bbe@2Kings:12:9 @But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and making a hole in the cover of it, put it by the altar, on the right side when one comes into the house of the Lord; and the priests who kept the door put in it regularly all the money which was taken into the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:12:10 @And when they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king's scribe and the high priest came and put it in bags, noting the amount of all the money there was in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:12:14 @But it was all given to the workmen who were building up the house.

bbe@2Kings:12:17 @Then Hazael, king of Aram, went up against Gath and took it; and his purpose was to go up to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Kings:18:17 @Then the king of Assyria sent the Tartan and the Rab-saris and the Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to King Hezekiah, with a strong force. And they went up and came to Jerusalem, and took up their position by the stream of the higher pool, by the highway of the washerman's field.

bbe@2Kings:18:21 @See, now, you are basing your hope on that broken rod of Egypt, which will go through a man's hand if he makes use of it for a support; for so is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all who put their faith in him.

bbe@2Kings:18:22 @And if you say to me, Our hope is in the Lord our God: is it not he, whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away, saying to Judah and Jerusalem that worship may only be given before this altar in Jerusalem?

bbe@2Kings:18:26 @Then Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna and Joah said to the Rab-shakeh, Will you kindly make use of the Aramaean language in talking to your servants, for we are used to it, and do not make use of the Jews' language in the hearing of the people on the wall.

bbe@2Kings:18:27 @But the Rab-shakeh said to them, Is it to your master or to you that my master has sent me to say these words? has he not sent me to the men seated on the wall? for they are the people who will be short of food with you when the town is shut in.

bbe@2Kings:18:29 @This is what the king says: Do not be tricked by Hezekiah, for there is no salvation for you in him.

bbe@2Kings:18:33 @Has any one of the gods of the nations kept his land from falling into the hands of the king of Assyria?

bbe@2Kings:18:35 @Who among all the gods of these countries have kept their country from falling into my hands, to give cause for the thought that the Lord will keep Jerusalem from falling into my hands?

bbe@2Kings:19:10 @This is what you are to say to Hezekiah, king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom is your faith, give you a false hope, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria

bbe@2Kings:19:11 @No doubt the story has come to your ears of what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, putting them to the curse; and will you be kept safe?

bbe@2Kings:19:15 @And Hezekiah made his prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord, the God of Israel, seated between the winged ones, you only are the God of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.

bbe@2Kings:19:16 @Let your ear be turned to us, O Lord, and let your eyes be open, O Lord, and see; take note of all the words of Sennacherib who has sent men to say evil against the living God.

bbe@2Kings:19:19 @But now, O Lord our God, give us salvation from his hands, so that it may be clear to all the kingdoms of the earth that you and only you, O Lord, are God.

bbe@2Kings:19:21 @This is the word which the Lord has said about him: In the eyes of the virgin daughter of Zion you are shamed and laughed at; the daughter of Jerusalem has made sport of you.

bbe@2Kings:19:23 @You have sent your servants with evil words against the Lord, and have said, With all my war-carriages I have come up to the top of the mountains, to the inmost parts of Lebanon; its tall cedars will be cut down, and the best trees of its woods; I will come up into his highest places, into his thick woods.

bbe@2Kings:19:24 @I have made water-holes and taken their waters, and with my foot I have made all the rivers of Egypt dry.

bbe@2Kings:19:25 @Has it not come to your ears how I did it long before, purposing it in times long past? Now I have given effect to my design, so that by you strong towns might be turned into masses of broken walls.

bbe@2Kings:19:31 @For from Jerusalem those who have been kept safe will go out, and those who are still living will go out of Mount Zion: by the fixed purpose of the Lord of armies this will be done.

bbe@2Kings:20:2 @Then, turning his face to the wall, he made his prayer to the Lord, saying,

bbe@2Kings:20:3 @O Lord, keep in mind how I have been true to you with all my heart, and have done what is good in your eyes. And Hezekiah gave way to bitter weeping.

bbe@2Kings:20:12 @At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill

bbe@2Kings:20:13 @And Hezekiah was glad at their coming and let them see all his store of wealth, the silver and the gold and the spices and the oil of great price, and the house of his arms, and everything there was in his stores; there was nothing in all his house or his kingdom which Hezekiah did not let them see.

bbe@2Kings:20:17 @Truly, days are coming when everything in your house, and whatever your fathers have put in store till this day, will be taken away to Babylon: all will be gone, says the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:21:1 @Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king; for fifty-five years he was ruling in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hephzi-bah.

bbe@2Kings:21:3 @He put up again the high places which had been pulled down by Hezekiah his father; he made altars for Baal, and an Asherah, as Ahab, king of Israel, had done; he was a worshipper and servant of all the stars of heaven.

bbe@2Kings:21:4 @And he put up altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.

bbe@2Kings:21:5 @And he put up altars for all the stars of heaven in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:21:7 @He put the image of Asherah which he had made in the house of which the Lord had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever.

bbe@2Kings:21:8 @And never again will I send the feet of Israel wandering from the land which I gave to their fathers; if only they will take care to do all my orders, and keep all the law which my servant Moses gave them.

bbe@2Kings:21:11 @Because Manasseh, king of Judah, has done these disgusting things, doing more evil than all the Amorites before him, and making Judah do evil with his false gods,

bbe@2Kings:21:12 @For this cause, says the Lord, the God of Israel, I will send such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of all to whom the news comes will be burning.

bbe@2Kings:21:13 @And over Jerusalem will be stretched the line of Samaria and the weight of Ahab; Jerusalem will be washed clean as a plate is washed, and turned over on its face.

bbe@2Kings:21:16 @More than this, Manasseh took the lives of upright men, till Jerusalem from one end to the other was full of blood; in addition to his sin in making Judah do evil in the eyes of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:21:17 @Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and all he did, and his sins, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

bbe@2Kings:21:19 @Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, ruling in Jerusalem for two years; his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

bbe@2Kings:21:21 @He went in all the ways of his father, being a servant and worshipper of the false gods to which his father had been a servant;

bbe@2Kings:21:22 @Turning away from the Lord, the God of his fathers, and not walking in his ways.

bbe@2Kings:21:24 @But the people of the land put to death all those who had taken part in the design against the king, and made Josiah his son king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:22:1 @Josiah was eight years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for thirty-one years; his mother's name was Jedidah, daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.

bbe@2Kings:22:2 @He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, walking in the ways of David his father, without turning to the right hand or to the left.

bbe@2Kings:22:3 @Now in the eighteenth year after he became king, Josiah sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the Lord, saying to him,

bbe@2Kings:22:13 @Go and get directions from the Lord for me and for the people and for all Judah, about the words of this book which has come to light; for great is the wrath of the Lord which is burning against us, because our fathers have not given ear to the words of this book, to do all the things which are recorded in it.

bbe@2Kings:22:14 @So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam and Achbor and Shaphan and Asaiah, went to Huldah the woman prophet, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the robes, (now she was living in Jerusalem, in the second part of the town;) and they had talk with her.

bbe@2Kings:22:17 @Because they have given me up, burning offerings to other gods and moving me to wrath by all the work of their hands; so my wrath will be on fire against this place, and will not be put out.

bbe@2Kings:22:20 @For this cause I will let you go to your fathers and be put in your last resting-place in peace, and your eyes will not see all the evil which I will send on this place. So they took this news back to the king.

bbe@2Kings:23:1 @Then the king sent and got together all the responsible men of Judah and of Jerusalem.

bbe@2Kings:23:2 @And the king went up to the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah and all the people of Jerusalem, and the priests and the prophets and all the people, small and great; and they were present at his reading of the book of the law which had come to light in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:23:3 @And the king took his place by the pillar, and made an agreement before the Lord, to go in the way of the Lord, and keep his orders and his decisions and his rules with all his heart and all his soul, and to keep the words of the agreement recorded in the book; and all the people gave their word to keep the agreement.

bbe@2Kings:23:4 @Then the king gave orders to Hilkiah, the chief priest, and to the priests of the second order, and to the keepers of the door, to take out of the house of the Lord all the vessels made for Baal and for the Asherah and for all the stars of heaven; and he had them burned outside Jerusalem in the fields of Kidron, and took the dust of them to Beth-el.

bbe@2Kings:23:5 @And he put an end to the false priests, who had been put in their positions by the kings of Judah to see to the burning of offerings in the high places in the towns of Judah and the outskirts of Jerusalem, and all those who made offerings to Baal and to the sun and the moon and the twelve signs and all the stars of heaven.

bbe@2Kings:23:6 @And he took the Asherah from the house of the Lord, outside Jerusalem to the stream Kidron, burning it by the stream and crushing it to dust, and he put the dust on the place where the bodies of the common people were put to rest.

bbe@2Kings:23:8 @And he made all the priests from the towns of Judah come into Jerusalem, and he made unclean the high places where the priests had been burning offerings, from Geba to Beer-sheba; and he had the high places of the evil spirits pulled down which were by the doorway of Joshua, the ruler of the town, on the left side of the way into the town.

bbe@2Kings:23:9 @Still the priests of the high places never came up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem; but they took their food of unleavened bread among their brothers.

bbe@2Kings:23:10 @And Topheth, in the valley of the sons of Hinnom, he made unclean, so that no man might make his son or his daughter go through the fire to Molech.

bbe@2Kings:23:12 @And the altars on the roof of the high room of Ahaz, which the kings of Judah had made, and the altars which Manasseh had made in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord, were pulled down and crushed to bits, and the dust of them was put into the stream Kidron.

bbe@2Kings:23:13 @And the high places before Jerusalem, on the south side of the mountain of destruction, which Solomon, king of Israel, had made for Ashtoreth, the disgusting god of the Zidonians, and for Chemosh, the disgusting god of Moab, and for Milcom, the disgusting god of the children of Ammon, the king made unclean.

bbe@2Kings:23:15 @And the altar at Beth-el, and the high place put up by Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel do evil, that altar and that high place were pulled down; and the high place was burned and crushed to dust and the Asherah was burned.

bbe@2Kings:23:16 @Then Josiah, turning round, saw on the mountain the places of the dead, and he sent and had the bones taken out of their places and burned on the altar, so making it unclean, as the Lord had said by the man of God when Jeroboam was in his place by the altar on that feast-day. And he, turning his eyes to the resting-place of the man of God who had given word of these things, said:

bbe@2Kings:23:17 @What is that headstone I see over there? And the men of the town said to him, It is the resting-place of the man of God who came from Judah and gave word of all these things which you have done to the altar of Beth-el.

bbe@2Kings:23:19 @Then Josiah took away all the houses of the high places in the towns of Samaria, which the kings of Israel had put up, moving the Lord to wrath, and he did with them as he had done in Beth-el.

bbe@2Kings:23:20 @And all the priests of the high places there he put to death on the altars, burning the bones of the dead on them; and then he went back to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Kings:23:21 @And the king gave orders to all the people, saying, Keep the Passover to the Lord your God, as it says in this book of the law.

bbe@2Kings:23:22 @Truly, such a Passover had not been kept in all the days of the judges of Israel or of the kings of Israel or the kings of Judah;

bbe@2Kings:23:23 @In the eighteenth year of the rule of King Josiah this Passover was kept to the Lord in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Kings:23:24 @And all those who had control of spirits, and the wonder-workers, and the images, and the false gods, and all the disgusting things which were seen in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, Josiah put away, so that he might give effect to the words of the agreement recorded in the book which Hilkiah the priest made discovery of in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:23:25 @Never before had there been a king like him, turning to the Lord with all his heart and with all his soul and with all his power, as the law of Moses says; and after him there was no king like him.

bbe@2Kings:23:26 @But still the heat of the Lord's wrath was not turned back from Judah, because of all Manasseh had done in moving him to wrath.

bbe@2Kings:23:27 @And the Lord said, I will send Judah away from before my face, as I have sent Israel; I will have nothing more to do with this town, which I had made mine, even Jerusalem, and the holy house of which I said, My name will be there.

bbe@2Kings:23:28 @Now the rest of the acts of Josiah, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

bbe@2Kings:23:30 @And his servants took his body in a carriage from Megiddo to Jerusalem, and put him into the earth there. And the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, and put the holy oil on him and made him king in place of his father.

bbe@2Kings:23:31 @Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king, ruling in Jerusalem for three months; his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

bbe@2Kings:23:33 @And Pharaoh-necoh put him in chains at Riblah in the land of Hamath, so that he might not be king in Jerusalem; and took from the land a tax of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

bbe@2Kings:23:36 @Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years; his mother's name was Zebidah, the daughter of Pedaiah of Rumah.

bbe@2Kings:24:2 @And the Lord sent against him bands of the Chaldaeans and of the Edomites and of the Moabites and of the children of Ammon; sending them against Judah for its destruction, as he had said by his servants the prophets.

bbe@2Kings:24:3 @Only by the word of the Lord did this fate come on Judah, to take them away from before his face; because of the sins of Manasseh and all the evil he did;

bbe@2Kings:24:4 @And because of the death of those who had done no wrong, for he made Jerusalem full of the blood of the upright; and the Lord had no forgiveness for it.

bbe@2Kings:24:5 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?

bbe@2Kings:24:7 @And the king of Egypt did not come out of his land again, for the king of Babylon had taken all his country, from the stream of Egypt to the river Euphrates.

bbe@2Kings:24:8 @Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king, he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months, and his mother's name was Nehushta, the daughter of Elnathan of Jerusalem.

bbe@2Kings:24:10 @At that time the armies of Nebuchadnezzar came up to Jerusalem and the town was shut in on every side.

bbe@2Kings:24:13 @And he took away all the stored wealth of the Lord's house, and the goods from the king's store-house, cutting up all the gold vessels which Solomon, king of Israel, had made in the house of the Lord, as the Lord had said.

bbe@2Kings:24:14 @And he took away all the people of Jerusalem and all the chiefs and all the men of war, ten thousand prisoners; and all the expert workmen and the metal-workers; only the poorest sort of the people of the land were not taken away.

bbe@2Kings:24:15 @He took Jehoiachin a prisoner to Babylon, with his mother and his wives and his unsexed servants and the great men of the land; he took them all as prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon.

bbe@2Kings:24:16 @And all the men of war, seven thousand of them, and a thousand expert workmen and metal-workers, all of them strong and able to take up arms, the king of Babylon took away as prisoners into Babylon.

bbe@2Kings:24:20 @And because of the wrath of the Lord, this came about in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had sent them all away from before him: and Zedekiah took up arms against the king of Babylon

bbe@2Kings:25:1 @Now in the ninth year of his rule, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came against Jerusalem with all his army and took up his position before it, building earthworks all round the town.

bbe@2Kings:25:3 @Now on the ninth day of the fourth month, the store of food in the town was almost gone, so that there was no food for the people of the land.

bbe@2Kings:25:4 @So an opening was made in the wall of the town, and all the men of war went in flight by night through the doorway between the two walls which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldaeans were stationed round the town:) and the king went by the way of the Arabah.

bbe@2Kings:25:5 @But the Chaldaean army went after the king, and overtook him in the lowlands of Jericho, and all his army went in flight from him in every direction.

bbe@2Kings:25:8 @Now in the fifth month, on the seventh day of the month, in the nineteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, a servant of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem;

bbe@2Kings:25:9 @And he had the house of the Lord and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned with fire;

bbe@2Kings:25:10 @And the walls round Jerusalem were broken down by the Chaldaean army which was with the captain.

bbe@2Kings:25:11 @And the rest of the people who were still in the town, and all those who had given themselves up to the king of Babylon, and all the rest of the workmen, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners;

bbe@2Kings:25:14 @And the pots and the spades and the scissors for the lights and the spoons, and all the brass vessels used in the Lord's house, they took away.

bbe@2Kings:25:15 @And the fire-trays and the basins; the gold of the gold vessels and the silver of the silver vessels, were all taken away by the captain of the armed men.

bbe@2Kings:25:17 @One of the pillars was eighteen cubits high, with a crown of brass on it; the crown was three cubits high, circled with a network and apples all of brass; and the second pillar had the same.

bbe@2Kings:25:22 @As for the people who were still living in the land of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take away, he made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, ruler over them.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:15 @And three of the thirty went down to David, to the rock, into the strong place of Adullam; and the army of the Philistines had taken up their position in the valley of Rephaim.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:21 @Of the thirty, he was the noblest, and was made their captain, but he was not equal to the first three.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:23 @And he made an attack on an Egyptian, a very tall man about five cubits high, armed with a spear like a cloth-worker's rod; he went down to him with a stick, and pulling his spear out of the hand of the Egyptian, put him to death with that same spear.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:15 @It was they who went over Jordan in the first month, when the river was overflowing, and put to flight all the people of the valleys, to the east and to the west.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:21 @And they gave David help against the armed bands, for they were all great men of war, and captains in the army.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:31 @And from the half-tribe of Manasseh, eighteen thousand, listed by name, came to make David king.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:32 @And of the children of Issachar, there were two hundred chiefs, men who had expert knowledge of the times and what it was best for Israel to do, and all their brothers were under their orders.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:33 @Of Zebulun, there were fifty thousand men, who went out with the army, expert in ordering the fight, to give help with all sorts of arms; true-hearted men.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:34 @And of Naphtali, a thousand captains with thirty-seven thousand spearmen.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:37 @From the other side of Jordan, there were a hundred and twenty thousand of the Reubenites and the Gadites and the men of the half-tribe of Manasseh, armed with every sort of instrument of war.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:38 @All these men of war, expert in ordering the fight, came to Hebron with the full purpose of making David king over all Israel; and all the rest of Israel were united in their desire to make David king.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:40 @And those who were near, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, came with food on asses and camels and mules and oxen, with meal for food and cakes of figs and masses of grapes, and wine and oil and oxen and sheep in great numbers, for there was joy in Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:2 @And David said to all the men of Israel who had come together there, If it seems good to you and if it is the purpose of the Lord our God, let us send to all the rest of our brothers, everywhere in the land of Israel, and to the priests and the Levites in their towns and the country round them, and get them to come together here to us;

bbe@1Chronicles:13:4 @And all the people said they would do so, for it seemed right to them.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:5 @So David sent for all Israel to come together, from Shihor, the river of Egypt, as far as the way into Hamath, to get the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:6 @And David went up, with all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim in Judah, to get up from there the ark of God, over which the holy Name is named, the name of the Lord whose place is between the winged ones.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:8 @Then David and all Israel made melody before God with all their strength, with songs and corded instruments of music, and with brass instruments and horns.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:14 @And the ark of God was in the house of Obed-edom for three months; and the Lord sent a blessing on the house of Obed-edom and on all he had.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:3 @And while he was living in Jerusalem, David took more wives and became the father of more sons and daughters.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:4 @These are the names of the children he had in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon

bbe@1Chronicles:14:8 @And when the Philistines had news that David had been made king over all Israel, they went up in search of David, and David, hearing of it, went out against them.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:9 @Now the Philistines had come, and had gone out in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:11 @So they went up to Baal-perazim, and David overcame them there, and David said, God has let the forces fighting against me be broken by my hand, as a wall is broken down by rushing water; so they gave that place the name of Baal-perazim.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:13 @Then the Philistines again went out in every direction in the valley.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:17 @And David's name was honoured in all lands; and the Lord put the fear of him on all nations

bbe@1Chronicles:15:3 @And David made all Israel come together at Jerusalem, to take the ark of the Lord to its place, which he had got ready for it.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:20 @And Zechariah and Aziel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel, Unni and Eliab and Maaseiah and Benaiah, with corded instruments put to Alamoth.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:27 @And David was clothed with a robe of fair linen, as were all the Levites who took up the ark, and those who made melody, and Chenaniah the master of those who made melody; and David had on a linen ephod;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:28 @So all Israel took up the ark of the agreement of the Lord, with loud cries and with horns and brass and corded instruments sounding loudly.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:29 @And when the ark of the agreement of the Lord came into the town of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looking out of the window, saw King David dancing and playing; and to her mind he seemed foolish.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:6 @And Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests, blowing horns all the time before the ark of the agreement of God.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:8 @O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:9 @Let your voice be sounded in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:14 @He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:17 @And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:19 @When you were still small in number, and strange in the land;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:23 @Make songs to the Lord, all the earth; give the good news of his salvation day by day.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:24 @Make clear his glory to the nations, and his wonders to all the peoples.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:25 @For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; and he is more to be feared than all other gods.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:26 @For all the gods of the nations are false gods; but the Lord made the heavens.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:30 @Be in fear before him, all the earth: the world is ordered so that it may not be moved.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:32 @Let the sea be thundering with all its waters; let the field be glad, and everything which is in it;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:33 @Then let all the trees of the wood be sounding with joy before the Lord, for he is come to be the judge of the earth.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:35 @And say, Be our saviour, O God of our salvation, and let us come back, and give us salvation from the nations, so that we may give honour to your holy name and have glory in your praise.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:36 @Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, for ever and for ever. And all the people said, So be it; and gave praise to the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:37 @So he made Asaph and his brothers keep their places there before the ark of the agreement of the Lord, to do whatever had to be done before the ark at all times day by day:

bbe@1Chronicles:16:40 @To give burned offerings to the Lord on the altar of burned offerings morning and evening, every day, as it is ordered in the law of the Lord which he gave to Israel;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:43 @And all the people went away, every man to his house; and David went back to give a blessing to his family.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:6 @In all the places where I have gone with all Israel, did I ever say to any of the judges of Israel, whom I made the keepers of my people, Why have you not made for me a house of cedar?

bbe@1Chronicles:17:8 @And I have been with you wherever you went, cutting off before you all those who were against you; and I will make your name like the name of the greatest ones of the earth.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:10 @From the time when I put judges over my people Israel; and I will overcome all those who are against you; and I will make you great and the head of a line of kings.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:15 @So Nathan gave David an account of all these words and this vision.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:17 @And this was only a small thing to you, O God; but your words have even been about the far-off future of your servant's family, looking on me as on one of high position, O Lord God.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:19 @O Lord, because of your servant, and from your heart, you have done all these great things and let them be seen.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:4 @And David took from him a thousand war-carriages and seven thousand horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and he had the leg-muscles of all the horses cut, keeping only enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:7 @And the gold body-covers of the servants of Hadadezer, David took to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:9 @Now when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,

bbe@1Chronicles:18:10 @He sent his son Hadoram to King David, to give him words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou; and he gave him all sorts of vessels of gold and silver and brass

bbe@1Chronicles:18:11 @These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold he had taken from all nations; from Edom and Moab and from the children of Ammon and from the Philistines and from Amalek.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:12 @And when he came back from putting to the sword eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt,

bbe@1Chronicles:18:13 @David put armed forces in all the towns of Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:14 @So David was king over all Israel, judging and giving right decisions for all his people.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:6 @And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves hated by David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver as payment for war-carriages and horsemen from Mesopotamia and Aram-maacah and Zobah.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:8 @And David, hearing of it, sent Joab with all the army of fighting-men.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:10 @Now when Joab saw that their forces were in position against him in front and at his back, he took all the best men of Israel, and put them in line against the Aramaeans;

bbe@1Chronicles:19:15 @And when the children of Ammon saw the flight of the Aramaeans, they themselves went in flight from Abishai, his brother, and came into the town. Then Joab came back to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:17 @And word of this was given to David; and he got all Israel together and went over Jordan and came to Helam and put his forces in position against them. And when David's forces were in position against the Aramaeans, the fight was started.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:1 @Now in the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, Joab went out at the head of the armed forces and made waste all the land of the Ammonites and put his men in position before Rabbah, shutting it in. But David was still at Jerusalem. And Joab took Rabbah and made it waste.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:2 @And David took the crown of Milcom from off his head; its weight was a talent of gold and it had stones of great price in it; and it was put on David's head, and he took a great store of goods from the town.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:3 @And he took the people out of the town and put them to work with wood-cutting instruments, and iron grain-crushers, and axes. And this he did to all the towns of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people went back to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:6 @And again there was war at Gath, where there was a very tall man, who had twenty-four fingers and toes, six fingers on his hands and six toes on his feet; he was one of the offspring of the Rephaim.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:2 @And David said to Joab and the captains of the people, Now let all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, be numbered; and give me word so that I may be certain of their number.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:3 @And Joab said, May the Lord make his people a hundred times more in number than they are; but, my lord king, are they not all my lord's servants? why would my lord have this done? why will he become a cause of sin to Israel?

bbe@1Chronicles:21:4 @But the king's word was stronger than Joab's. So Joab went out and went through all Israel and came to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:5 @And Joab gave David the number of all the people; all the men of Israel, able to take up arms, were one million, one hundred thousand men; and those of Judah were four hundred and seventy thousand men, able to take up arms.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:12 @Three years when there will not be enough food; or three months of war, when you will go in flight before your haters, being in great danger of the sword; or three days of the sword of the Lord, disease in the land, and the angel of the Lord taking destruction through all the land of Israel. Now give thought to the answer I am to take back to him who sent me.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:15 @And God sent an angel to Jerusalem for its destruction: and when he was about to do so, the Lord saw, and had regret for the evil, and said to the angel of destruction, It is enough; do no more. Now the angel of the Lord was by the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:16 @And David, lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord there between earth and heaven, with an uncovered sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the responsible men, clothed in haircloth, went down on their faces.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:18 @Then the angel of the Lord gave orders to Gad to say to David that he was to go and put up an altar to the Lord on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:22 @Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place where this grain-floor is, so that I may put up an altar here to the Lord: let me have it for its full price; so that this disease may be stopped among the people.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:23 @And Ornan said to David, Take it, and let my lord the king do what seems right to him. See, I give you the oxen for burned offerings and the grain-cleaning instruments for fire-wood, and the grain for the meal offering; I give it all.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:26 @And David put up an altar there to the Lord, offering burned offerings and peace-offerings with prayers to the Lord; and he gave him an answer from heaven, sending fire on the altar of burned offering.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:29 @For the House of the Lord, which Moses had made in the waste land, and the altar of burned offerings, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:1 @Then David said, This is the house of the Lord God, and this is the altar for Israel's burned offerings.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:2 @And David gave orders to get together all the men from strange lands who were in the land of Israel; and he put stone-cutters to work, cutting stones for building the house of God.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:5 @And David said, Solomon my son is young and untested, and the house which is to be put up for the Lord is to be very great, a thing of wonder and glory through all countries; so I will make ready what is needed for it. So David got ready a great store of material before his death.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:13 @And all will go well for you, if you take care to keep the laws and the rules which the Lord gave to Moses for Israel: be strong and take heart; have no fear and do not be troubled.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:14 @Now see, poor though I am, I have got ready for the house of the Lord a hundred thousand talents of gold and a million talents of silver; and a weight of brass and iron greater than may be measured; and wood and stone have I made ready, and you may put more to it.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:17 @Then David gave orders to all the chiefs of Israel to give their help to Solomon his son, saying,

bbe@1Chronicles:23:3 @And the Levites, all those of thirty years old and over, were numbered; and the number of them, by heads, man by man, was thirty-eight thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:11 @Jahath was the chief and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah had only a small number of sons, so they were grouped together as one family.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:8 @So now, before the eyes of all Israel, the people of the Lord, and in the hearing of our God, keep and be true to the orders of the Lord your God; so that you may have this good land for yourselves and give it for a heritage to your children after you for ever.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:9 @And you, Solomon my son, get knowledge of the God of your father, and be his servant with a true heart and with a strong desire, for the Lord is the searcher of all hearts, and has knowledge of all the designs of men's thoughts; if you make search for him, he will be near you; but if you are turned away from him, he will give you up for ever.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:12 @And the design of all he had in his heart for the outer squares of the house of the Lord, and for the rooms all round it, and for the store-houses of the house of the Lord, and for the store-houses for the holy things;

bbe@1Chronicles:28:18 @And the best gold for the altar of perfumes; and gold for the design of the carriage, for the winged ones whose wings were outstretched covering the ark of the Lord's agreement.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:19 @All this, said David, the design for all these things, has been made dear to me in writing by the hand of the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:20 @And David said to his son Solomon, Be strong and of a good heart and do your work; have no fear and do not be troubled, for the Lord God, my God, is with you; he will not give you up, and his face will not be turned away from you, till all the work necessary for the house of the Lord is complete.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:21 @And see, there are the divisions of the priests and Levites for all the work of the house of God; and every trained and expert workman will be ready to do for you whatever is needed; and the captains and the people will be under your orders in everything.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:1 @And David the king said to all the people, Solomon my son, the only one who has been marked out by God, is still young and untested, and the work is great, for this great house is not for man, but for the Lord God.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:2 @Now as far as I am able, I have made ready what is needed for the house of my God; the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the silver things, and the brass for the brass things, iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood; beryls and jewels to be framed, and stones of different colours for ornament; all sorts of stones of great price, and polished building-stone, as much as is needed and more.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:3 @And because this house of God is dear to me, I give my private store of gold and silver to the house of my God, in addition to all I have got ready for the holy house;

bbe@1Chronicles:29:4 @Even three thousand talents of gold of Ophir and seven thousand talents of the best silver, for plating the walls of the house:

bbe@1Chronicles:29:7 @And they gave for the use of the house of the Lord, five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, and ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and a hundred thousand talents of iron.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:10 @So David gave praise to the Lord before all the people; and David said, Praise be to you, O Lord the God of Israel, our father for ever and ever.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:11 @Yours, O Lord, is the strength and the power and the glory, and the authority and the honour: for everything in heaven and on earth is yours; yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are lifted up as head over all.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:12 @Wealth and honour come from you, and you are ruler over all, and in your hand is power and strength; it is in your power to make great, and to give strength to all.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:14 @But who am I and what is my people, that we have power to give so freely in this way? for all things come from you, and what we have given you is yours.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:15 @For we, as all our fathers were, are like men from a strange country before you, who have got a place for a time in the land; our days on the earth are like a shade, and there is no hope of going on.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:16 @O Lord our God, all this store, which we have made ready for the building of a house for your holy name, comes from your hand and is yours.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:19 @And give to Solomon my son a true heart, to keep your orders, your rules, and your laws, and to do all these things, and to put up this great house for which I have made ready.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:20 @And David said to all the people, Now give praise to the Lord your God. And all the people gave praise to the Lord, the God of their fathers, with bent heads worshipping the Lord and the king.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:21 @And they made offerings to the Lord, and gave burned offerings to the Lord, on the day after, a thousand oxen, a thousand sheep, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and a great wealth of offerings for all Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:23 @So Solomon was put on the seat of the Lord as king in place of his father David, and everything went well for him; and all Israel was under his authority.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:24 @And all the chiefs and the men of war and all the sons of King David put themselves under the authority of Solomon the king.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:25 @And the Lord made Solomon great in the eyes of all Israel, clothing him with glory and honour such as no other king in Israel had had before him.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:26 @Now David, the son of Jesse, was king over all Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:27 @For forty years he was ruling as king over Israel, seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:28 @And he came to his end after a long life, full of days and great wealth and honour; and Solomon his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:29 @Now all the acts of David, first and last, are recorded in the words of Samuel the seer, and the words of Nathan the prophet, and the words of Gad the seer;

bbe@1Chronicles:29:30 @Together with all his rule and his power, and the events which took place in his time, in Israel and in all the kingdoms of other lands.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:2 @And Solomon sent word to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds and to the judges and to every chief in all Israel, heads of their families.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:3 @Then Solomon, and all the men of Israel with him, went to the high place at Gibeon, because the Tent of meeting of God, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had made in the waste land, was there.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:4 @But the ark of God had been moved by David from Kiriath-jearim to the place which he had made ready for it, for he had put up a tent for it at Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:5 @And the altar of brass which Bezalel, the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the Tent of the Lord; and Solomon and all the people went to give worship there.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:6 @And Solomon went up there to the brass altar before the Lord at the Tent of meeting, offering on it a thousand burned offerings.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:12 @Wisdom and knowledge are given to you; and I will give you wealth and honour, such as no king has had before you or ever will have after you.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:13 @So Solomon went back from the high place at Gibeon, from before the Tent of meeting, to Jerusalem; and he was king over Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:14 @And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, which he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:15 @And the king made silver and gold as common as stones in Jerusalem, and cedar like the sycamore-trees of the lowland in number.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:17 @A war-carriage might be got from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: they got them at the same rate for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:4 @See! I am building a house for the name of the Lord my God, to be made holy to him, where perfumes of sweet spices will be burned before him, and the holy bread will be placed at all times, and burned offerings will be offered morning and evening, on the Sabbaths and at the new moons, and on the regular feasts of the Lord our God. This is a law for ever to Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:5 @And the house which I am building is to be great, for our God is greater than all gods.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:7 @So now send me an expert worker in gold and silver and brass and iron? in purple and red and blue, and in the cutting of all sorts of ornament, to be with the expert workmen who are here in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom my father David got together.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:8 @And send me cedar-trees, cypress-trees and sandal-wood from Lebanon, for, to my knowledge, your servants are expert wood-cutters in Lebanon; and my servants will be with yours,

bbe@2Chronicles:2:16 @And we will have wood cut from Lebanon, as much as you have need of, and will send it to you on flat boats by sea to Joppa, and from there you may take it up to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:17 @Then Solomon took the number of all the men from strange lands who were living in Israel, as his father David had done; there were a hundred and fifty-three thousand, six hundred.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:1 @Then Solomon made a start at building the house of the Lord on Mount Moriah in Jerusalem, where the Lord had been seen by his father David, in the place which David had made ready in the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:4 @And the covered way in front of the house was twenty cubits long, as wide as the house, and a hundred and twenty cubits high, all plated inside with the best gold.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:5 @And the greater house was roofed with cypress-wood, plated with the best gold and ornamented with designs of palm-trees and chains.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:6 @And the house was made beautiful with stones of great value, and the gold was gold of Parvaim.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:7 @All the house was plated with gold, the supports, the steps, the walls and the doors; and the walls were ornamented with designs of winged ones.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:8 @And he made the most holy place; it was twenty cubits long, and twenty cubits wide, like the greater house, and was plated all over with the best gold; six hundred talents were used for it.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:9 @And fifty shekels weight of gold was used for the nails. He had all the higher rooms plated with gold.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:11 @Their outstretched wings were twenty cubits across; one wing, five cubits long, touching the wall of the house, and the other, of the same size, meeting the wing of the other winged one.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:12 @And in the same way, the wings of the other, five cubits long, were stretched out, one touching the wall and the other meeting the wing of the first winged one.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:1 @Then he made a brass altar, twenty cubits long, twenty cubits wide and ten cubits high.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:2 @And he made the great water-vessel of metal, round in form, measuring ten cubits across from edge to edge; it was five cubits high and thirty cubits round.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:3 @And under it was a design of flowers all round it, ten to a cubit, circling the water-vessel in two lines; they were made from liquid metal at the same time as the water-vessel.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:4 @It was supported on twelve oxen, three facing to the north, three to the west, three to the south, and three to the east, the water-vessel resting on top of them; their back parts were all turned to the middle of it.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:11 @And Huram made all the pots and the spades and the basins. So he came to the end of all the work he did for King Solomon in the house of God:

bbe@2Chronicles:4:16 @All the pots and the spades and the meat-hooks and their vessels, which Huram, who was as his father, made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of polished brass.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:17 @The king made them of liquid metal in the lowland of Jordan, in the soft earth between Succoth and Zeredah.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:18 @So Solomon made all these vessels, a very great store of them, and the weight of the brass used was not measured.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:19 @And Solomon made all the vessels used in the house of God, the gold altar and the tables on which the holy bread was placed,

bbe@2Chronicles:4:21 @The flowers and the vessels for the lights and the instruments used for them, were all of gold; it was the best gold.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:22 @The scissors and the basins and the spoons and the fire-trays, of the best gold; and the inner doors of the house, opening into the most holy place, and the doors of the Temple, were all of gold.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:1 @So all the work which Solomon did for the house of the Lord was complete. And Solomon took the holy things which David his father had given, the silver and the gold and all the vessels, and put them in the store-houses of the house of God.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:2 @Then Solomon sent for all the responsible men of Israel, all the chiefs of the tribes and the heads of families of the children of Israel, to come to Jerusalem and take the ark of the Lord's agreement up out of the town of David, which is Zion.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:3 @And all the men of Israel came together to the king at the feast in the seventh month.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:4 @All the responsible men of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:5 @They took up the ark and the Tent of meeting and all the holy vessels which were in the Tent; all these the priests, the Levites, took up.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:6 @And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there with him, were before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:11 @Now when the priests had come out of the holy place, (for all the priests who were present had made themselves holy, not keeping to their divisions;

bbe@2Chronicles:5:12 @And the Levites who made the music, all of them, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and brothers, robed in fair linen, were in their places with their brass and corded instruments at the east side of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests blowing horns;)

bbe@2Chronicles:6:3 @Then, turning his face about, the king gave a blessing to all the men of Israel; and they were all on their feet together.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:5 @From the day when I took my people out of the land of Egypt, no town in all the tribes of Israel has been marked out by me for the building of a house for the resting-place of my name; and I took no man to be a ruler over my people Israel;

bbe@2Chronicles:6:6 @But now I have made selection of Jerusalem, that my name might be there, and of David, to be over my people Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:12 @Then he took his place in front of the altar of the Lord, all the men of Israel being present,

bbe@2Chronicles:6:13 @(For Solomon had made a brass stage, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high, and had put it in the middle of the open space; on this he took his place and went down on his knees before all the meeting of Israel, stretching out his hands to heaven.)

bbe@2Chronicles:6:14 @And he said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth; keeping faith and mercy unchanging for your servants, while they go in your ways with all their hearts;

bbe@2Chronicles:6:16 @So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, let your word to your servant David, my father, come true, when you said, You will never be without a man to take his place before me on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; if only your children give attention to their ways, walking in my law, as you have done before me.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:22 @If a man does wrong to his neighbour and has to take an oath, and comes before your altar to take his oath in this house:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:29 @Whatever prayer or request for your grace is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, whatever his trouble may be, whose hands are stretched out to this house:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:30 @Then give ear from heaven your living-place, answering with forgiveness, and give to every man, whose secret heart is open to you, the reward of all his ways; (for you, and you only, have knowledge of the hearts of the children of men;)

bbe@2Chronicles:6:31 @So that they may give you worship, walking in your ways, as long as they are living in the land which you gave to our fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:33 @Then give ear from heaven your living-place, and give him his desire, whatever it may be; so that all the peoples of the earth may have knowledge of your name, worshipping you as do your people Israel, and may see that this house which I have made is truly named by your name.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:38 @If with all their heart and soul they are turned again to you, in the land where they are prisoners, the land where they have been taken, and make their prayers, turning their eyes to their land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I have made for your name:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:41 @Up! now, O Lord God, come back to your resting-place, you and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints be glad in what is good.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:1 @Now when Solomon's prayers were ended, fire came down from heaven, burning up all the offerings; and the house was full of the glory of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:3 @And all the children of Israel were looking on when the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord was on the house; and they went down on their knees, with their faces to the earth, worshipping and praising the Lord, and saying, He is good; for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:4 @Then the king and all the people made offerings before the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:5 @King Solomon made an offering of twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people kept the feast of the opening of the house of God.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:6 @And the priests were in their places, and the Levites with their instruments of music for the Lord's song, which David the king had made for the praise of the Lord whose mercy is unchanging for ever, when David gave praise by their hand; and the priests were sounding horns before them; and all Israel were on their feet.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:7 @Then Solomon made holy the middle of the open square in front of the house of the Lord, offering the burned offerings there, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for there was not room on the brass altar which Solomon had made for all the burned offerings and the meal offerings and the fat.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:8 @So Solomon kept the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great meeting, for the people had come together from the way into Hamath and from as far as the river of Egypt.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:9 @And on the eighth day they had a holy meeting; the offerings for making the altar holy went on for seven days, and the feast for seven days.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:10 @And on the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their tents, full of joy and glad in their hearts, because of all the good which the Lord had done to David and to Solomon and to Israel his people.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:16 @For I have taken this house for myself and made it holy, so that my name may be there for ever; and my eyes and my heart will be there at all times

bbe@2Chronicles:7:20 @Then I will have this people uprooted out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will put away from before my eyes, and make it an example and a word of shame among all peoples.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:21 @And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, and will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?

bbe@2Chronicles:7:22 @And their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord, the God of their fathers, who took them out of the land of Egypt, and took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why he has sent all this evil on them.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:4 @And he put up the buildings of Tadmor in the waste land, and of all the store-towns in Hamath;

bbe@2Chronicles:8:5 @And of Beth-horon the higher and the lower, walled towns with walls and doorways and locks;

bbe@2Chronicles:8:6 @And of Baalath, and all the store-towns which Solomon had, and the towns where he kept his war-carriages and his horse men, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:7 @As for all the rest of the Hittites and the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel:

bbe@2Chronicles:8:12 @Then Solomon made burned offerings to the Lord on the altar of the Lord which he had put up in front of the covered way,

bbe@2Chronicles:8:15 @All the orders given by the king to the priests and Levites, in connection with any business or stores, were done with care.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:16 @And all the work of Solomon was complete, from the day when he put the base of the Lord's house in position, till Solomon had come to the end of building the Lord's house.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:18 @And Huram sent him, by his servants, ships and experienced seamen, who went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir and came back with four hundred and fifty talents of gold, which they took to King Solomon

bbe@2Chronicles:9:1 @Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to Jerusalem to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions; and with her came a very great train, and camels weighted down with spices, and great stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:2 @And Solomon gave her answers to all her questions; there was no secret which he did not make clear to her.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:4 @And the food at his table, and all his servants seated there, and those who were waiting on him in their places, and their robes, and his wine-servants and their robes, and the burned offerings which he made in the house of the Lord, there was no more spirit in her.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:6 @But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and truly, word was not given me of half your great wisdom; you are much greater than they said.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:9 @And she gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a great store of spices and jewels: never had such spices been seen as the queen of Sheba gave to Solomon.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:10 @And the servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with sandal-wood and jewels.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:11 @And with the sandal-wood the king made steps for the house of the Lord and for the king's house, and instruments of music for the makers of melody; never before had such been seen in the land of Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:12 @And King Solomon gave the queen of Sheba all her desire, whatever she made request for, in addition to what she had taken to the king. So she went back to her country with her servants.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:13 @Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;

bbe@2Chronicles:9:14 @And in addition to what he got from traders of different sorts, all the kings of Arabia and the rulers of the country gave gold and silver to Solomon.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:16 @And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, using three hundred shekels of gold for every cover, and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:20 @All King Solomon's drinking-vessels were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of the Woods of Lebanon were of the best gold: no one gave a thought to silver in the days of Solomon

bbe@2Chronicles:9:22 @And King Solomon was greater than all the kings of the earth in wealth and in wisdom.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:23 @And all the kings of the earth came to see Solomon and to give ear to his wisdom, which God had put into his heart.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:24 @And everyone took with him an offering, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and robes, and coats of metal, and spices, and horses and beasts for transport, regularly year by year.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:25 @Solomon had four thousand buildings for his horses and his war-carriages, and twelve thousand horsemen whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:26 @And he was ruler over all the kings from the River to the land of the Philistines, as far as the limit of Egypt.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:27 @The king made silver as common as stones in Jerusalem and cedars like the sycamore-trees of the lowlands in number.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:30 @Solomon was king over Israel in Jerusalem for forty years.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:1 @And Rehoboam went to Shechem, where all Israel had come together to make him king.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:3 @And they sent for him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came to Rehoboam and said,

bbe@2Chronicles:10:12 @So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had given orders, saying, Come to me again on the third day.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:16 @And when all Israel saw that the king would give no attention to them, the people in answer said to the king, What part have we in David? what is our heritage in the son of Jesse? every man to your tents, O Israel; now see to your house, David. So all Israel went to their tents.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:18 @Then Rehoboam sent Adoniram, the overseer of the forced work; and he was stoned to death by all Israel. And King Rehoboam went quickly and got into his carriage to go in flight to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:1 @And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, and got together the men of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand of his best fighting-men, to make war against Israel and get the kingdom back for Rehoboam.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:3 @Say to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all Israel in Judah and Benjamin,

bbe@2Chronicles:11:5 @Now Rehoboam kept in Jerusalem, building walled towns in Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:10 @And Zorah and Aijalon and Hebron, walled towns in Judah and Benjamin.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:11 @And he made the walled towns strong, and he put captains in them and stores of food, oil, and wine

bbe@2Chronicles:11:13 @And the priests and Levites who were in all Israel came together to him from every part of their country.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:14 @For the Levites gave up their living-places and their property, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons had sent them away, not letting them be priests to the Lord;

bbe@2Chronicles:11:16 @And after them, from all the tribes of Israel, all those whose hearts were fixed and true to the Lord, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to make offerings to the Lord, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:18 @And Rehoboam took as his wife Mahalath, the daughter of Jerimoth, the son of David and of Abihail, the daughter of Eliab, the son of Jesse;

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

bbe@2Chronicles:11:21 @Maacah, the daughter of Absalom, was dearer to Rehoboam than all his wives and his servant-wives: (for he had eighteen wives and sixty servant-wives, and was the father of twenty-eight sons and sixty daughters.)

bbe@2Chronicles:11:23 @And in his wisdom he had his sons stationed in every walled town through all the lands of Judah and Benjamin; and he gave them a great store of food, and took wives for them.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:1 @Now when Rehoboam's position as king had been made certain, and he was strong, he gave up the law of the Lord, and all Israel with him.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:2 @Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem, because of their sin against the Lord,

bbe@2Chronicles:12:4 @And he took the walled towns of Judah, and came as far as Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:5 @Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the chiefs of Judah, who had come together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, The Lord has said, Because you have given me up, I have given you up into the hands of Shishak.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:7 @And the Lord, seeing that they had made themselves low, said to Shemaiah, They have made themselves low: I will not send destruction on them, but in a short time I will give them salvation, and will not let loose my wrath on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:9 @So Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem and took away all the stored wealth of the house of the Lord and the king's house: he took everything away, and with the rest the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:13 @So King Rehoboam made himself strong in Jerusalem and was ruling there

bbe@2Chronicles:12:15 @Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not recorded in the words of Shemaiah the prophet and Iddo the seer? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all their days.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:2 @He was king in Jerusalem for three years; his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:4 @And Abijah took up his position on Mount Zemaraim, in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said, Give ear to me, O Jeroboam and all Israel:

bbe@2Chronicles:13:5 @Is it not clear to you that the Lord, the God of Israel, gave the rule over Israel to David and to his sons for ever, by an agreement made with salt?

bbe@2Chronicles:13:15 @And the men of Judah gave a loud cry; and at their cry, God put fear into Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah

bbe@2Chronicles:13:19 @And Abijah went after Jeroboam and took some of his towns, Beth-el with its small towns and Jeshanah with its small towns and Ephron with its small towns.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:3 @For he took away the altars of strange gods and the high places, and had the upright stones broken and the wood pillars cut down;

bbe@2Chronicles:14:5 @And he took away the high places and the sun-images from all the towns of Judah; and the kingdom was quiet under his rule.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:6 @He made walled towns in Judah, for the land was quiet and there were no wars in those years, because the Lord had given him rest.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:7 @He said to Judah, Let us make these towns, building walls round them with towers and doors and locks. The land is still ours, because we have been true to the Lord our God; we have been true to him and he has given us rest on every side. So they went on building and all went well for them.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:8 @And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand men of Judah armed with body-covers and spears, and two hundred and eighty thousand of Benjamin armed with body-covers and bows; all these were men of war.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:10 @And Asa went out against him, and they put their forces in position in the valley north of Mareshah.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:14 @And they overcame all the towns round Gerar, because the Lord sent fear on them; and they took away their goods from the towns, for there were stores of wealth in them.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:15 @And they made an attack on the tents of the owners of the cattle, and took away great numbers of sheep and camels and went back to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:2 @And he came face to face with Asa and said to him, Give ear to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin: the Lord is with you while you are with him; if your heart's desire is for him, he will be near you, but if you give him up, he will give you up.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:5 @In those times there was no peace for him who went out or for him who came in, but great trouble was on all the people of the lands.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:6 @And they were broken by divisions, nation against nation and town against town, because God sent all sorts of trouble on them.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:8 @And Asa, hearing these words of Azariah, the son of Oded the prophet, took heart and put away all the disgusting things out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the towns which he had taken from the hill-country of Ephraim; and he made new again the altar of the Lord in front of the covered way of the Lord's house.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:9 @And he got together all Judah and Benjamin and those of Ephraim and Manasseh and Simeon who were living with them; for numbers of them came to him out of Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:10 @So they came together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the rule of Asa.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:12 @And they made an agreement to be true to the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and all their soul;

bbe@2Chronicles:15:13 @And that anyone, small or great, man or woman, who was not true to the Lord, the God of Israel, would be put to death.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:15 @And all Judah was glad because of the oath, for they had taken it with all their heart, turning to the Lord with all their desire; and he was with them and gave them rest on every side.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:17 @But the high places were not taken away out of Israel; but still the heart of Asa was true to the Lord all his life.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:18 @He took into the house of God all the things which his father had made holy and those which he himself had made holy, silver and gold and vessels.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:4 @And Ben-hadad did as King Asa said, and sent the captains of his armies against the towns of Israel, attacking Ijon and Dan and Abel-maim, and all the store-towns of Naphtali.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:6 @Then King Asa, with all Judah, took away the stones and wood with which Baasha was building Ramah, and he made use of them for building Geba and Mizpah.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:9 @For the eyes of the Lord go this way and that, through all the earth, letting it be seen that he is the strong support of those whose hearts are true to him. In this you have done foolishly, for from now you will have wars.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:12 @In the thirty-ninth year of his rule, Asa had a very bad disease of the feet; but he did not go to the Lord for help in his disease, but to medical men.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:14 @And they put him into the resting-place which he had made for himself in the town of David, in a bed full of sweet perfumes of all sorts of spices, made by the perfumer's art, and they made a great burning for him.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:2 @He put forces in all the walled towns of Judah, and responsible chiefs in the land of Judah and in the towns of Ephraim, which Asa his father had taken.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:3 @And the Lord was with Jehoshaphat, because he went in the early ways of his father, not turning to the Baals,

bbe@2Chronicles:17:5 @So the Lord made his kingdom strong; and all Judah gave offerings to Jehoshaphat, and he had great wealth and honour.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:9 @And they gave teaching in Judah and had the book of the law of the Lord with them; they went through all the towns of Judah teaching the people.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:10 @And the fear of the Lord was on all the kingdoms of the lands round Judah, so that they made no wars against Jehoshaphat.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:13 @He had much property in the towns of Judah; he had forces of armed men, great and strong, in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:19 @These were the men who were waiting on the king, in addition to those placed by the king in the walled towns through all Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:1 @Now Jehoshaphat had great wealth and honour, and his son was married to Ahab's daughter.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:5 @So the king of Israel got together all the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for God will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:9 @Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were seated on their seats of authority, dressed in their robes, by the doorway into Samaria; and all the prophets were acting as prophets before them.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:11 @And all the prophets said the same thing, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and it will go well for you, for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:12 @Now the servant who had gone to get Micaiah said to him, See now, all the prophets with one voice are saying good things to the king; so let your words be like theirs, and say good things.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:16 @Then he said, I saw all Israel wandering on the mountains like sheep without a keeper; and the Lord said, These have no master: let them go back, every man to his house in peace.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:18 @Then he said, Give ear now to the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord seated on his seat of power, and all the army of heaven in their places, at his right hand and at his left.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:21 @And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:27 @And Micaiah said, If you come back at all in peace, the Lord has not sent his word by me.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:30 @Now the king of Aram had given orders to the captains of his war-carriages, saying, Make no attack on small or great, but only on the king of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:1 @And Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, went back to his house in Jerusalem in peace.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:4 @And Jehoshaphat was living in Jerusalem; and he went out again among the people, from Beer-sheba to the hill-country of Ephraim, guiding them back to the Lord, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:5 @And he put judges through all the land, in every walled town of Judah,

bbe@2Chronicles:19:8 @Then in Jerusalem he gave authority to certain of the Levites and the priests and the heads of families of Israel to give decisions for the Lord, and in the causes of those living in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:11 @And now, Amariah, the chief priest, is over you in all questions to do with the Lord; and Zebadiah the son of Ishmael, the head of the family of Judah, in everything to do with the king's business; and the Levites will be overseers for you. Be strong to do the work; and may the Lord be with the upright.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:3 @Then Jehoshaphat, in his fear, went to the Lord for directions, and gave orders all through Judah for the people to go without food.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:5 @And Jehoshaphat took his place in the meeting of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord in front of the new open space,

bbe@2Chronicles:20:6 @And said, O Lord, the God of our fathers, are you not God in heaven? are you not ruler over all the kingdoms of the nations? and in your hands are power and strength so that no one is able to keep his place against you.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:9 @If evil comes on us, the sword, or punishment, or disease, or need of food, we will come to this house and to you, (for your name is in this house,) crying to you in our trouble, and you will give us salvation in answer to our cry.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:12 @O our God, will you not be their judge? for our strength is not equal to this great army which is coming against us; and we are at a loss what to do: but our eyes are on you

bbe@2Chronicles:20:13 @And all Judah were waiting before the Lord, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:14 @Then, before all the meeting, the spirit of the Lord came on Jahaziel, the son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, a Levite and one of the family of Asaph;

bbe@2Chronicles:20:15 @And he said, Give ear, O Judah, and you people of Jerusalem, and you, King Jehoshaphat: the Lord says to you, Have no fear and do not be troubled on account of this great army; for the fight is not yours but God's.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:16 @Go down against them tomorrow: see, they are coming up by the slope of Ziz; at the end of the valley, before the waste land of Jeruel, you will come face to face with them.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:17 @There will be no need for you to take up arms in this fight; put yourselves in position, and keep where you are, and you will see the salvation of the Lord with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: have no fear and do not be troubled: go out against them tomorrow, for the Lord is with you.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:18 @Then Jehoshaphat went down with his face to the earth, and all Judah and the people of Jerusalem gave worship to the Lord, falling down before him.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:20 @And early in the morning they got up and went out to the waste land of Tekoa: and when they were going out, Jehoshaphat took his station and said to them, Give ear to me, O Judah and you people of Jerusalem: have faith in the Lord your God and you will be safe; have faith in his prophets and all will go well for you.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:25 @And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their goods from them, they saw beasts in great numbers, and wealth and clothing and things of value, more than they were able to take away; all this they took for themselves, and they were three days getting it away, there was so much.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:26 @On the fourth day they all came together in the Valley of Blessing, and there they gave blessing to the Lord; for which cause that place has been named the Valley of Blessing to this day.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:27 @Then all the men of Judah and Jerusalem went back, with Jehoshaphat at their head, coming back to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had made them glad over their haters.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:28 @So they came to Jerusalem with corded instruments and wind-instruments into the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:29 @And the fear of God came on all the kingdoms of the lands, when they had news of how the Lord made war on those who came against Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:31 @And Jehoshaphat was king over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling for twenty-five years in Jerusalem: his mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:2 @And he had brothers, sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, Jehiel, Zechariah, Azariah, Michael, and Shephatiah; all these were sons of Jehoshaphat, king of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:3 @And their father gave them much silver and gold and things of great value, as well as walled towns in Judah; but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram, because he was the oldest.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:4 @Now when Jehoram had taken his place over his father's kingdom, and had made his position safe, he put all his brothers to death with the sword, as well as some of the princes of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:5 @Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:9 @Then Jehoram went over with his captains and all his war-carriages... made an attack by night on the Edomites, whose forces were all round him... on the captains of the war-carriages.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:11 @And more than this, he made high places in the mountains of Judah, teaching the people of Jerusalem to go after false gods, and guiding Judah away from the true way.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:13 @But have gone in the way of the kings of Israel, and have made Judah and the people of Jerusalem go after false gods, as the family of Ahab did: and because you have put to death your father's sons, your brothers, who were better than yourself:

bbe@2Chronicles:21:15 @And you yourself will undergo the cruel pains of a disease in your stomach, so that day by day your inside will be falling out because of the disease.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:17 @And they came up against Judah, forcing a way into it, and took away all the goods in the king's house, as well as his sons and his wives; so that he had no son but only Jehoahaz, the youngest.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:18 @And after all this the Lord sent on him a disease of the stomach from which it was impossible for him to be made well.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:19 @And time went on, and after two years, his inside falling out because of the disease, he came to his death in cruel pain. And his people made no burning for him like the burning made for his fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:20 @He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years: and at his death he was not regretted; they put his body into the earth in the town of David, but not in the resting-place of the kings.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:1 @And the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his place, for the band of men who came with the Arabians to the army had put all the older sons to death. So Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, became king.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:2 @Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:7 @Now by the purpose of God, Ahaziah's journey to see Jehoram was the cause of his downfall: for when he came there, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, who had been marked out by the Lord for the destruction of the family of Ahab.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:10 @Now when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, saw that her son was dead, she had all the rest of the seed of the kingdom of Judah put to death.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:11 @But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, secretly took Joash, the son of Ahaziah, away from among the king's sons who were put to death, and put him and the woman who took care of him in a bedroom. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of King Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest and sister of Ahaziah, kept him safe from Athaliah, so that she did not put him to death.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:12 @And she kept him safe with her in the house of God for six years, while Athaliah was ruling the land.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:2 @And they went through Judah, getting together the Levites and the heads of families in Israel from all the towns of Judah, and they came to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:3 @And all the people made an agreement with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Truly, the king's son will be king, as the Lord has said about the sons of David.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:5 @And a third are to be stationed at the king's house; and a third at the doorway of the horses: while all the people are waiting in the open spaces round the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:8 @So the Levites and all Judah did as Jehoiada the priest had given them orders: every one took with him his men, those who were to come in and those who were to go out on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada had not sent away the divisions.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:10 @And he put all the people in position, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, by the altar and the house and all round the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:12 @Now Athaliah, hearing the noise of the people running and praising the king, came to the people in the house of the Lord:

bbe@2Chronicles:23:13 @And looking, she saw the king in his place by the pillar at the doorway, and the captains and the horns by his side; and all the people of the land were giving signs of joy and sounding the horns; and the makers of melody were playing on instruments of music, taking the chief part in the song of praise. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, said, Broken faith, broken faith!

bbe@2Chronicles:23:16 @And Jehoiada made an agreement between the Lord and all the people and the king, that they would be the Lord's people.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:17 @Then all the people went to the house of Baal and had it pulled down, and its altars and images broken up; and Mattan, the priest of Baal, they put to death before the altars.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:20 @Then he took the captains of hundreds and the chiefs and the rulers of the people and all the people of the land, and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord through the higher doorway into the king's house, and put the king on the seat of the kingdom.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:21 @So all the people of the land were glad and the town was quiet, for they had put Athaliah to death with the sword.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:1 @Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he was ruling for forty years in Jerusalem: his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:5 @And getting together the priests and Levites, he said to them, Go out into the towns of Judah year by year, and get from all Israel money to keep the house of your God in good condition; and see that this is done without loss of time. The Levites, however, were slow in doing so.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:6 @Then the king sent for Jehoiada, the chief priest, and said to him, Why have you not given the Levites orders that the tax fixed by Moses, the servant of the Lord, and by the meeting of Israel, for the Tent of witness, is to be got in from Judah and Jerusalem and handed over?

bbe@2Chronicles:24:7 @For the house of the Lord had been broken up by Athaliah, that evil woman, and her sons; and all its holy things they had given to the Baals.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:9 @And an order was sent out through all Judah and Jerusalem that payment was to be made to the Lord of the tax which Moses, the servant of God, had put on Israel in the waste land.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:10 @And all the chiefs and all the people came gladly and put their money into the chest, till they had all given.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:12 @Then the king and Jehoiada gave it to those who were responsible for getting the work done on the Lord's house, and with it they got wall-builders and woodworkers and metal-workers to put the house of the Lord in good order again.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:14 @And when the work was done, they took the rest of the money to the king and Jehoiada, and it was used for making the vessels for the house of the Lord, all the vessels needed for the offerings, the spoons and the vessels of gold and silver. And as long as Jehoiada was living, the regular burned offerings were offered in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:18 @And they gave up the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and became worshippers of pillars of wood and of the images; and because of this sin of theirs, wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:23 @Now in the spring, the army of the Aramaeans came up against him; they came against Judah and Jerusalem, putting to death all the great men of the people and sending all the goods they took from them to the king of Damascus.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:24 @For though the army of Aram was only a small one, the Lord gave a very great army into their hands, because they had given up the Lord, the God of their fathers. So they put into effect the punishment of Joash.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:27 @Now the story of his sons, and all the words said by the prophet against him, and the building up again of the Lord's house, are recorded in the account in the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:1 @Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:5 @Then Amaziah got all Judah together and put them in order by their families, even all Judah and Benjamin, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds: and he had those of twenty years old and over numbered, and they came to three hundred thousand of the best fighting-men, trained for war and in the use of the spear and the body-cover.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:6 @And for a hundred talents of silver, he got a hundred thousand fighting-men from Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:9 @Then Amaziah said to the man of God, But what is to be done about the hundred talents which I have given for the armed band of Israel? And the man of God in answer said, God is able to give you much more than this

bbe@2Chronicles:25:11 @Then Amaziah took heart, and went out at the head of his people and came to the Valley of Salt, where he put to death ten thousand of the children of Seir;

bbe@2Chronicles:25:12 @And ten thousand more the children of Israel took living, and made them go up to the top of the rock, pushing them down from the top of the rock so that their bodies were broken by the fall.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:15 @And so the wrath of the Lord was moved against Amaziah, and he sent a prophet to him, who said, Why have you gone after the gods of the people who have not given their people salvation from your hands?

bbe@2Chronicles:25:16 @But while he was talking to him the king said to him, Have we made you one of the king's government? say no more, or it will be the cause of your death. Then the prophet gave up protesting, and said, It is clear to me that God's purpose is your destruction, because you have done this and have not given ear to my words.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:19 @You say, See, I have overcome Edom; and your heart is lifted up with pride: now keep in your country; why do you make causes of trouble, putting yourself, and Judah with you, in danger of downfall?

bbe@2Chronicles:25:23 @And Joash, king of Israel, made Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, prisoner at Beth-shemesh, and took him to Jerusalem; and he had the wall of Jerusalem pulled down from the doorway of Ephraim to the doorway in the angle, four hundred cubits.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:24 @And he took all the gold and silver and all the vessels which were in the house of the Lord, under the care of Obed-edom, and all the wealth from the king's house, as well as those whose lives would be the price of broken faith, and went back to Samaria.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:27 @Now from the time when Amaziah gave up worshipping the Lord, they made secret designs against him in Jerusalem; and he went in flight to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him and put him to death there.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:1 @Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:3 @Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for fifty-two years; his mother's name was Jechiliah of Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:6 @He went out and made war against the Philistines, pulling down the walls of Gath and Jabneh and Ashdod, and building towns in the country round Ashdod and among the Philistines.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:7 @And God gave him help against the Philistines, and against the Arabians living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunim.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:9 @Uzziah made towers in Jerusalem, at the doorway in the angle and at the doorway in the valley and at the turn of the wall, arming them.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:14 @And Uzziah had all these forces armed with body-covers and spears and head-covers and coats of metal and bows and stones for sending from leather bands.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:15 @And in Jerusalem he made machines, the invention of expert men, to be placed on the towers and angles of the walls for sending arrows and great stones. And his name was honoured far and wide; for he was greatly helped till he was strong.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:16 @But when he had become strong, his heart was lifted up in pride, causing his destruction; and he did evil against the Lord his God; for he went into the Temple of the Lord for the purpose of burning perfumes on the altar of perfumes.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:19 @Then Uzziah was angry; and he had in his hand a vessel for burning perfume; and while his wrath was bitter against the priests, the mark of the leper's disease came out on his brow, before the eyes of the priests in the house of the Lord by the altar of perfumes.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:20 @And Azariah, the chief priest, and all the priests, looking at him, saw the mark of the leper on his brow, and they sent him out quickly and he himself went out straight away, for the Lord's punishment had come on him.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:1 @Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; and his mother's name was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:3 @He put up the higher doorway of the house of the Lord, and did much building on the wall of the Ophel.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:5 @He went to war with the king of the children of Ammon and overcame them. That year, the children of Ammon gave him a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of grain and ten thousand measures of barley. And the children of Ammon gave him the same amount the second year and the third.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:6 @So Jotham became strong, because in all his ways he made the Lord his guide.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:7 @Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars and his ways, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:8 @He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:1 @Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; he did not do what was right in the eyes of the Lord, like David his father:

bbe@2Chronicles:28:2 @But he went in the ways of the kings of Israel and made images of metal for the Baals.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:3 @More than this, he had offerings burned in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and made his children go through fire, copying the disgusting ways of the nations whom the Lord had sent out of the land before the children of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:6 @For Pekah, the son of Remaliah, in one day put to death a hundred and twenty thousand men of Judah, all of them good fighting-men; because they had given up the Lord, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:10 @And now your purpose is to keep the children of Judah and Jerusalem as men-servants and women-servants under your yoke: but are there no sins against the Lord your God to be seen among yourselves?

bbe@2Chronicles:28:12 @Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah, the son of Johanan, Berechiah, the son of Meshillemoth Jehizkiah, the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, put themselves against those who had come from the war,

bbe@2Chronicles:28:15 @And those men who have been named went up and took the prisoners, clothing those among them who were uncovered, with things from the goods which had been taken in the war, and putting robes on them and shoes on their feet; and they gave them food and drink and oil for their bodies, and seating all the feeble among them on asses, they took them to Jericho, the town of palm-trees, to their people, and then went back to Samaria

bbe@2Chronicles:28:18 @And the Philistines, forcing their way into the towns of the lowlands and the south of Judah, had taken Beth-shemesh and Aijalon and Gederoth and Soco, with their daughter-towns, as well as Timnah and Gimzo and their daughter-towns, and were living there.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:19 @For the Lord made Judah low, because of Ahaz, king of Israel; for he had given up all self-control in Judah, sinning greatly against the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:21 @For Ahaz took a part of the wealth from the house of the Lord, and from the house of the king and of the great men, and gave it to the king of Assyria; but it was no help to him.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:23 @For he made offerings to the gods of Damascus, who were attacking him, and said, Because the gods of the kings of Aram are giving them help, I will make offerings to them so that they may give me help. But they were the cause of his downfall, and of that of all Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:24 @And Ahaz got together the vessels of the house of God, cutting up all the vessels of the house of God, and shutting the doors of the Lord's house; and he made altars in every part of Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:26 @Now the rest of his acts and all his ways, first and last, are recorded in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:27 @And Ahaz went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in Jerusalem; but they did not put him in the resting-place of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:1 @Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old; and he was king in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; and his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:8 @And so the wrath of the Lord has come on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has given them up to be a cause of fear and wonder and shame, as your eyes have seen.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:12 @Then the Levites took their places; Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel, the son of Azariah, among the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish, the son of Abdi, and Azariah, the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah, the son of Zimmah, and Eden, the son of Joah;

bbe@2Chronicles:29:18 @Then they went in to King Hezekiah and said, We have made all the house of the Lord clean, as well as the altar of burned offerings with all its vessels, and the table for the holy bread, with all its vessels.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:19 @And all the vessels which were turned out by King Ahaz in his sin while he was king, we have put in order and made holy, and now they are in their places before the altar of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:21 @And they took with them seven oxen and seven male sheep and seven lambs and seven he-goats as a sin-offering for the kingdom and for the holy house and for Judah. And he gave orders to the sons of Aaron, the priests, that these were to be offered on the altar of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:22 @So they put the oxen to death and their blood was given to the priests to be drained out against the altar; then they put the male sheep to death, draining out their blood against the altar, and they put the lambs to death, draining out their blood against the altar.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:24 @And the priests put them to death, and made a sin-offering with their blood on the altar, to take away the sin of all Israel: for the king gave orders that the burned offering and the sin-offering were for all Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:27 @And Hezekiah gave the word for the burned offering to be offered on the altar. And when the burned offering was started, then the song of the Lord was started, with the blowing of horns and with all the instruments of David, king of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:28 @And all the people gave worship, to the sound of songs and the blowing of horns; and this went on till the burned offering was ended.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:29 @And at the end of the offering, the king and all who were present with him gave worship with bent heads.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:31 @Then Hezekiah made answer and said, Now that you have given yourselves to the Lord, come near and take offerings and praise-offerings into the house of the Lord. So all the people took in offerings and praise-offerings: and those whose hearts were moved, took in burned offerings.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:32 @The number of burned offerings which the people took in was seventy oxen, a hundred male sheep, and two hundred lambs: all these were for burned offerings to the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:34 @There were not enough priests for the work of cutting up all the burned offerings; so their brothers the Levites gave them help till the work was done and the priests had made themselves holy: for the Levites were more upright in heart to make themselves holy than the priests.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:36 @And Hezekiah and all the people were full of joy, because God had made the people ready: for the thing was done suddenly.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:1 @Then Hezekiah sent word to all Israel and Judah, and sent letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, requesting them to come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:2 @For the king, after discussion with his chiefs and all the body of the people in Jerusalem, had made a decision to keep the Passover in the second month.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:3 @It was not possible to keep it at that time, because not enough priests had made themselves holy, and the people had not come together in Jerusalem.

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

bbe@2Chronicles:30:5 @So it was ordered that word was to be sent out through all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, that they were to come to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: because they had not kept it in great numbers in agreement with the law.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:6 @So runners went with letters from the king and his chiefs through all Israel and Judah, by the order of the king, saying, O children of Israel, come back again to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that he may come again to that small band of you which has been kept safe out of the hands of the kings of Assyria.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:10 @So the runners went from town to town through all the country of Ephraim and Manasseh as far as Zebulun: but they were laughed at and made sport of.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:11 @However, some of Asher and Manasseh and Zebulun put away their pride and came to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:13 @So a very great number of people came together at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:14 @And they got to work and took away all the altars in Jerusalem, and they put all the vessels for burning perfumes into the stream Kidron.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:16 @And they took their places in their right order, as it was ordered in the law of Moses, the man of God: the priests draining out on the altar the blood given them by the Levites.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:18 @For a great number of the people from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not made themselves clean, but they took the Passover meal, though not in the right way. For Hezekiah had made prayer for them, saying, May the good Lord have mercy on everyone

bbe@2Chronicles:30:19 @Who, with all his heart, is turned to God the Lord, the God of his fathers, even if he has not been made clean after the rules of the holy place

bbe@2Chronicles:30:21 @So the children of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread for seven days with great joy: and the Levites and the priests gave praise to the Lord day by day, making melody to the Lord with loud instruments.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:23 @And by the desire of all the people, the feast went on for another seven days, and they kept the seven days with joy.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:25 @And all the people of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and those who had come from Israel, and men from other lands who had come from Israel or who were living in Judah, were glad with great joy.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:26 @So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for nothing like this had been seen in Jerusalem from the time of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:1 @Now when all this was over, all the men of Israel who were present went out into the towns of Judah, causing the stone pillars to be broken up and the wood pillars to be cut down, pulling down the high places and the altars in all Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, till all were gone. Then all the children of Israel went back to their towns, every man to his property.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:4 @In addition, he gave orders to the people of Jerusalem to give to the priests and Levites that part which was theirs by right, so that they might be strong in keeping the law of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:6 @And the children of Israel and Judah, who were living in the towns of Judah came with the tenth part of their oxen and sheep, and a tenth of all the holy things which were to be given to the Lord their God, and put them in great masses.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:8 @And when Hezekiah and the rulers came and saw all the store of goods, they gave praise to the Lord and to his people Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:12 @And in them they put all the offerings and the tenths and the holy things, keeping nothing back, and over them was Conaniah the Levite, with Shimei his brother second to him.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:15 @And under him were Eden and Miniamin and Jeshua and Shemaiah and Amariah and Shecaniah, in the towns of the priests, who were made responsible for giving it to all their brothers, by divisions, to small and great:

bbe@2Chronicles:31:16 @As well as to all the males, of three years old and over, listed by their families, who went into the house of the Lord to do what was needed day by day, for their special work with their divisions.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:18 @And in the lists were all their little ones and their wives and their sons and daughters, through all the people: they made themselves holy in the positions which they were given.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:19 @And as for the sons of Aaron, the priests, living in the country on the outskirts of their towns, every different town there were men, marked out by name, to give their part of the goods to all the males among the priests, and to all who were listed among the Levites.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:20 @This Hezekiah did through all Judah; he did what was good and right and true before the Lord his God.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:1 @Now after these things and this true-hearted work, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came into Judah, and put his army in position before the walled towns of Judah, designing to make his way into them by force.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:2 @And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come for the purpose of fighting against Jerusalem,

bbe@2Chronicles:32:4 @So they got together a great number of people, and had all the water-springs and the stream flowing through the land stopped up, saying, Why let the kings of Assyria come and have much water?

bbe@2Chronicles:32:5 @Then he took heart, building up the wall where it was broken down, and making its towers higher, and building another wall outside; and he made strong the Millo in the town of David, and got together a great store of all sorts of instruments of war.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:6 @And he put war chiefs over the people, and sent for them all to come together to him in the wide place at the doorway into the town, and to give them heart he said to them,

bbe@2Chronicles:32:7 @Be strong and take heart; have no fear, and do not be troubled on account of the king of Assyria and all the great army with him: for there is a greater with us.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:9 @After this, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, sent his servants to Jerusalem (at that time he was stationed with all his army in front of Lachish), to say to Hezekiah and all the men of Judah in Jerusalem,

bbe@2Chronicles:32:10 @Sennacherib, king of Assyria, says, In what are you placing your hope, waiting here in the walled town of Jerusalem?

bbe@2Chronicles:32:11 @Is it not Hezekiah who has got you to do it, causing your death from need of food and water, by saying, The Lord our God will give us salvation out of the hands of the king of Assyria?

bbe@2Chronicles:32:12 @Has not this same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, Give worship before one altar only, burning offerings on it?

bbe@2Chronicles:32:13 @Have you no knowledge of what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of every land? were the gods of the nations of those lands able to keep their land from falling into my hands?

bbe@2Chronicles:32:14 @Who was there among all the gods of those nations, which my fathers put to destruction, who was able to keep his people safe from my hands? and is it possible that your God will keep you safe from my hands?

bbe@2Chronicles:32:18 @These things they said, crying out with a loud voice in the Jews' language, to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, with the purpose of troubling them and putting fear into them, so that they might take the town;

bbe@2Chronicles:32:19 @Talking of the God of Jerusalem as if he was like the gods of the peoples of the earth, the work of men's hands.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:21 @And the Lord sent an angel who put to death all the men of war and the chiefs and the captains in the army of the king of Assyria. So he went back to his country in shame. And when he came into the house of his god, his sons, the offspring of his body, put him to death there with the sword.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:22 @So the Lord gave Hezekiah and the people of Jerusalem salvation from the power of Sennacherib, the king of Assyria, and from all others, giving them rest on every side.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:23 @And great numbers came to Jerusalem with offerings for the Lord, and things of great price for Hezekiah, king of Judah: so that he was honoured among all nations from that time

bbe@2Chronicles:32:25 @But Hezekiah did not do as had been done to him; for his heart was lifted up in pride; and so wrath came on him and on Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:26 @But then, Hezekiah, in sorrow for what he had done, put away his pride; and he and all Jerusalem made themselves low, so that the wrath of the Lord did not come on them in Hezekiah's life-time.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:27 @And Hezekiah had very great wealth and honour; and he made himself store-houses for his gold and silver and jewels and spices, and for body-covers and all sorts of beautiful vessels.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:28 @And store-houses for the produce of grain and wine and oil; and buildings for all sorts of beasts and flocks.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:29 @And he made towns for himself, and got together much property in flocks and herds: for God had given him great wealth.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:33 @So Hezekiah went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the higher part of the resting-places of the sons of David: and all Judah and the people of Jerusalem gave him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:1 @Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he was ruling for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:3 @For he put up again the high places which had been pulled down by his father Hezekiah; and he made altars for the Baals, and pillars of wood, and was a worshipper and servant of all the stars of heaven;

bbe@2Chronicles:33:4 @And he made altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will my name be for ever.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:5 @And he made altars for all the stars of heaven in the two outer squares of the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:6 @More than this, he made his children go through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom; and he made use of secret arts, and signs for reading the future, and unnatural powers, and gave positions to those who had control of spirits and to wonder-workers: he did much evil in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:7 @And he put the image he had made in the house of God, the house of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

bbe@2Chronicles:33:8 @And never again will I let the feet of Israel be moved out of the land which I have given to their fathers; if only they will take care to do all my orders, even all the law and the orders and the rules given to them by Moses.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:9 @And Manasseh made Judah and the people of Jerusalem go out of the true way, so that they did more evil than those nations whom the Lord gave up to destruction before the children of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:13 @And made prayer to him; and in answer to his prayer God let him come back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh was certain that the Lord was God.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:14 @After this he made an outer wall for the town of David, on the west side of Gihon in the valley, as far as the way into the town by the fish doorway; and he put a very high wall round the Ophel; and he put captains of the army in all the walled towns of Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:15 @He took away the strange gods and the image out of the house of the Lord, and all the altars he had put up on the hill of the Lord's house and in Jerusalem, and put them out of the town.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:16 @And he put the altar of the Lord in order, offering peace-offerings and praise-offerings on it, and said that all Judah were to be servants of the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:19 @And the prayer which he made to God, and how God gave him an answer, and all his sin and his wrongdoing, and the places where he made high places and put up pillars of wood and images, before he put away his pride, are recorded in the history of the seers.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:21 @Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling for two years in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:22 @He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, as Manasseh his father had done; and Amon made offerings to all the images which his father Manasseh had made, and was their servant.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:25 @But the people of the land put to death all those who had taken part in the design against King Amon, and made his son Josiah king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:1 @Josiah was eight years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for thirty-one years.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:2 @And he did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, walking in the ways of his father David, without turning to the right hand or to the left.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:3 @In the eighth year of his rule, while he was still young, his heart was first turned to the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he undertook the clearing away of all the high places and the pillars and the images of wood and metal from Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:4 @He had the altars of the Baals broken down, while he himself was present; and the sun-images which were placed on high over them he had cut down; and the pillars of wood and the metal images he had broken up and crushed to dust, dropping the dust over the resting-places of the dead who had made offerings to them.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:5 @And he had the bones of the priests burned on their altars, and so he made Judah and Jerusalem clean.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:6 @And in all the towns of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon as far as Naphtali, he made waste their houses round about.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:7 @He had the altars and the pillars of wood pulled down and the images crushed to dust, and all the sun-images cut down, through all the land of Israel, and then he went back to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:8 @Now in the eighteenth year of his rule, when the land and the house had been made clean, he sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, and Maaseiah, the ruler of the town, and Joah, the son of Joahaz, the recorder, to make good what was damaged in the house of the Lord his God.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:9 @And they came to Hilkiah, the chief priest, and gave him all the money which had been taken into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the door, had got from Manasseh and Ephraim and those of Israel who had not been taken away as prisoners, and from all Judah and Benjamin and the people of Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:13 @Had authority over the transport workers, giving directions to all who were doing any sort of work; and among the Levites there were scribes and overseers and door-keepers.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:16 @And Shaphan took the book to the king; and he gave him an account of what had been done, saying, Your servants are doing all they have been given to do;

bbe@2Chronicles:34:17 @They have taken out all the money which was in the Lord's house and have given it to the overseers and to the workmen.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:22 @So Hilkiah, and those whom the king sent, went to Huldah the woman prophet, the wife of Shallum, the son of Tokhath, the son of Hasrah, the keeper of the robes (now she was living in Jerusalem, in the second part of the town); and they had talk with her about this thing.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:24 @These are the words of the Lord: See, I will send evil on this place and on its people, even all the curses in the book which they have been reading before the king of Judah;

bbe@2Chronicles:34:25 @Because they have given me up, burning offerings to other gods and moving me to wrath by all the works of their hands; so my wrath is let loose on this place and will not be put out.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:28 @See, I will let you go to your fathers, and be put in your last resting-place in peace, and your eyes will not see all the evil which I will send on this place and on its people. So they took this news back to the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:29 @Then the king sent and got together all the responsible men of Judah and of Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:30 @And the king went up to the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, and the priests and the Levites and all the people, small and great; and they were present at his reading of the book of the law which had come to light in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:31 @Then the king, taking his place by the pillar, made an agreement before the Lord, to go in the way of the Lord, and to keep his orders and his decisions and his rules with all his heart and with all his soul, and to keep the words of the agreement recorded in this book.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:32 @And he made all the people in Jerusalem and Benjamin give their word to keep it. And the people of Jerusalem kept the agreement of God, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:33 @Josiah took away all the disgusting things out of all the lands of the children of Israel, and made all who were in Israel servants of the Lord their God. And as long as he was living they were true to the Lord, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:1 @And Josiah kept a Passover to the Lord in Jerusalem; on the fourteenth day of the first month they put the Passover lamb to death.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:3 @And he said to the Levites, the teachers of all Israel, who were holy to the Lord, See, the holy ark is in the house which Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel, made; it will no longer have to be transported on your backs: now be the servants of the Lord your God and his people Israel,

bbe@2Chronicles:35:7 @And Josiah gave lambs and goats from the flock as Passover offerings for all the people who were present, to the number of thirty thousand, and three thousand oxen: these were from the king's private property.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:8 @And his captains freely gave an offering to the people, the priests, and the Levites. Hilkiah and Zechariah and Jehiel, the rulers of the house of God, gave to the priests for the Passover offerings two thousand, six hundred small cattle and three hundred oxen.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:9 @And Conaniah and Shemaiah and Nethanel, his brothers, and Hashabiah and Jeiel and Jozabad, the chiefs of the Levites, gave to the Levites for the Passover offerings five thousand small cattle and five hundred oxen.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:13 @And the Passover lamb was cooked over the fire, as it says in the law; and the holy offerings were cooked in pots and basins and vessels, and taken quickly to all the people.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:16 @So everything needed for the worship of the Lord was made ready that same day, for the keeping of the Passover and the offering of burned offerings on the altar of the Lord, as King Josiah had given orders.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:17 @And all the children of Israel who were present kept the Passover and the feast of unleavened bread at that time for seven days.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:18 @No Passover like it had been kept in Israel from the days of Samuel the prophet; and not one of the kings of Israel had ever kept a Passover like the one kept by Josiah and the priests and the Levites and all those of Judah and Israel who were present, and the people of Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:20 @After all this, and after Josiah had put the house in order, Neco, king of Egypt, went up to make war at Carchemish by the river Euphrates; and Josiah went out against him.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:22 @However, Josiah would not go back; but keeping to his purpose of fighting against him, and giving no attention to the words of Neco, which came from God, he went forward to the fight in the valley of Megiddo.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:24 @So his servants took him out of the line of war-carriages, and put him in his second carriage and took him to Jerusalem, where he came to his end, and they put his body in the resting-place of his fathers. And in all Judah and Jerusalem there was great weeping for Josiah.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:25 @And Jeremiah made a song of grief for Josiah; and to this day Josiah is named by all the makers of melody, men and women, in their songs of grief; they made it a rule in Israel; and the songs are recorded among the songs of grief.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:27 @And all his acts, first and last, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:1 @Then the people of the land took Jehoahaz, the son of Josiah, and made him king in Jerusalem in place of his father.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:2 @Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:3 @Then the king of Egypt took the kingdom from him in Jerusalem, and put on the land a tax of a hundred talents of silver and a talent of gold.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:4 @And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, changing his name to Jehoiakim. And Neco took his brother Jehoahaz away to Egypt.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:5 @Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years, and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:8 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and the disgusting things he did, and all there is to be said against him, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:9 @Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months and ten days, and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:10 @In the spring of the year King Nebuchadnezzar sent and took him away to Babylon, with the beautiful vessels of the house of the Lord, and made Zedekiah, his father's brother, king over Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:11 @Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:14 @And more than this, all the great men of Judah and the priests and the people made their sin great, turning to all the disgusting ways of the nations; and they made unclean the house of the Lord which he had made holy in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:17 @So he sent against them the king of the Chaldaeans, who put their young men to death with the sword in the house of their holy place, and had no pity for any, young man or virgin, old man or white-haired: God gave them all into his hands.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:18 @And all the vessels of the house of God, great and small, and the stored wealth of the Lord's house and the wealth of the king and his chiefs, he took away to Babylon.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:19 @And the house of God was burned and the wall of Jerusalem broken down; all its great houses were burned with fire and all its beautiful vessels given up to destruction.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:20 @And all who had not come to death by the sword he took away prisoners to Babylon; and they became servants to him and to his sons till the kingdom of Persia came to power:

bbe@2Chronicles:36:22 @Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order that the words which the Lord had said by the mouth of Jeremiah might come true, the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, was moved by the Lord, and he made a public statement and had it given out through all his kingdom and put in writing, saying,

bbe@2Chronicles:36:23 @Cyrus, king of Persia, has said, All the kingdoms of the earth have been given to me by the Lord, the God of heaven; and he has made me responsible for building a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah. Whoever there is among you of all his people, may the Lord his God be with him and let him go up.

bbe@Ezra:1:1 @Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order that the word of the Lord given by the mouth of Jeremiah might come true, the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, was moved by the Lord, so that he made a public statement through all his kingdom, and put it in writing, saying,

bbe@Ezra:1:2 @These are the words of Cyrus, king of Persia: The Lord God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has made me responsible for building a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

bbe@Ezra:1:3 @Whoever there is among you of his people, may his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and take in hand the building of the house of the Lord, the God of Israel; he is the God who is in Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:1:4 @And whoever there may be of the rest of Israel, living in any place, let the men of that place give him help with offerings of silver and gold and goods and beasts, in addition to the offering freely given for the house of God in Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:1:5 @Then the heads of families of Judah and Benjamin, with the priests and the Levites, got ready, even all those whose spirits were moved by God to go up and take in hand the building of the Lord's house in Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:1:6 @And all their neighbours gave them help with offerings of vessels of silver and gold and goods and beasts and things of great value, in addition to what was freely offered.

bbe@Ezra:1:7 @And Cyrus the king got out the vessels of the house of the Lord which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from Jerusalem and put in the house of his gods;

bbe@Ezra:1:8 @Even these Cyrus made Mithredath, the keeper of his wealth, get out, and he gave them, after numbering them, to Sheshbazzar, the ruler of Judah.

bbe@Ezra:1:11 @There were five thousand, four hundred gold and silver vessels. All these were taken back by Sheshbazzar, when those who had been taken prisoner went up from Babylon to Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:2:1 @Now these are the people of the divisions of the kingdom, among those who had been made prisoners by Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and taken away to Babylon, who went back to Jerusalem and Judah, everyone to his town;

bbe@Ezra:2:42 @The children of the door-keepers: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, a hundred and thirty-nine.

bbe@Ezra:2:56 @The children of Jaalah, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel,

bbe@Ezra:2:58 @All the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants, were three hundred and ninety-two.

bbe@Ezra:2:64 @The number of all the people together was forty-two thousand, three hundred and sixty,

bbe@Ezra:2:68 @And some of the heads of families, when they came to the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem, gave freely of their wealth for the building up of the house of God in its place:

bbe@Ezra:2:70 @So the priests and the Levites and the people and the music-makers and the door-keepers and the Nethinim, took up their places in their towns; even all Israel in their towns.

bbe@Ezra:3:1 @And when the seventh month came, and the children of Israel were in the towns, the people came together like one man to Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:3:2 @Then Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and his brothers the priests, and Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, with his brothers, got up and made the altar of the God of Israel for burned offerings as is recorded in the law of Moses, the man of God.

bbe@Ezra:3:3 @They put the altar on its base; for fear was on them because of the people of the countries: and they made burned offerings on it to the Lord, even burned offerings morning and evening.

bbe@Ezra:3:5 @And after that, the regular burned offering and the offerings for the new moons and all the fixed feasts of the Lord which had been made holy, and the offering of everyone who freely gave his offering to the Lord.

bbe@Ezra:3:8 @Now in the second year of their coming into the house of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, the work was taken in hand by Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come from the land where they were prisoners to Jerusalem: and they made the Levites, of twenty years old and over, responsible for overseeing the work of the house of the Lord.

bbe@Ezra:3:11 @And they gave praise to the Lord, answering one another in their songs and saying, For he is good, for his mercy to Israel is eternal. And all the people gave a great cry of joy, when they gave praise to the Lord, because the base of the Lord's house was put in place.

bbe@Ezra:4:5 @And they gave payment to men who made designs against them and kept them from effecting their purpose, all through the time of Cyrus, king of Persia, till Darius became king.

bbe@Ezra:4:6 @And in the time of Ahasuerus, when he first became king, they put on record a statement against the people of Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:4:8 @Rehum, the chief ruler, and Shimshai the scribe, sent a letter against Jerusalem, to Artaxerxes the king;

bbe@Ezra:4:12 @We give news to the king that the Jews who came from you have come to us at Jerusalem; they are building up again that uncontrolled and evil town; the walls are complete and they are joining up the bases.

bbe@Ezra:4:13 @The king may be certain that when the building of this town and its walls is complete, they will give no tax or payment in goods or forced payments, and in the end it will be a cause of loss to the kings.

bbe@Ezra:4:16 @We give you word, that if the building of this town and its walls is made complete, there will be an end of your power in the country across the river.

bbe@Ezra:4:20 @Further, there have been great kings in Jerusalem, ruling over all the country across the river, to whom they gave taxes and payments in goods and forced payments.

bbe@Ezra:4:22 @Be certain to do this with all care: do not let trouble be increased to the king's damage.

bbe@Ezra:4:23 @Then, after reading the king's letter, Rehum and Shimshai the scribe and their friends went quickly to Jerusalem, to the Jews, and had them stopped by force.

bbe@Ezra:4:24 @So the work of the house of God at Jerusalem came to an end; so it was stopped, till the second year of the rule of Darius, king of Persia.

bbe@Ezra:5:1 @Now the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, the son of Iddo, were preaching to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel.

bbe@Ezra:5:2 @Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, got up and made a start at building the house of God at Jerusalem: and the prophets of God were with them, helping them.

bbe@Ezra:5:3 @At the same time, Tattenai, ruler of the land across the river, and Shethar-bozenai, and their men, came to them and said, Who gave you orders to go on building this house and this wall?

bbe@Ezra:5:7 @They sent him a letter saying, To Darius the king, all peace:

bbe@Ezra:5:8 @This is to give the king word that we went into the land of Judah, to the house of the great God, which is made of great stones, and has its walls supported with wood, and the work is going on with industry, and they are doing it well.

bbe@Ezra:5:9 @Then we said to the men responsible, who gave you authority for the building of this house and these walls?

bbe@Ezra:5:12 @But when the God of heaven was moved to wrath by our fathers, he gave them up into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, the Chaldaean, who sent destruction on this house and took the people away into Babylon

bbe@Ezra:5:14 @And the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the Temple which was in Jerusalem, and put into the house of his god in Babylon, these Cyrus the king took from the house of his god in Babylon, and gave to one named Sheshbazzar, whom he had made ruler;

bbe@Ezra:5:15 @And he said to him, Go, take these vessels, and put them in the Temple in Jerusalem, and let the house of God be put up again in its place.

bbe@Ezra:5:16 @Then this same Sheshbazzar came and put the house of God in Jerusalem on its bases: and from that time till now the building has been going on, but it is still not complete.

bbe@Ezra:5:17 @So now, if it seems good to the king, let search be made in the king's store-house at Babylon, to see if it is true that an order was given by Cyrus the king for the building of this house of God at Jerusalem, and let the king send us word of his pleasure in connection with this business.

bbe@Ezra:6:1 @Then Darius the king gave an order and a search was made in the house of the records, where the things of value were stored up in Babylon.

bbe@Ezra:6:3 @In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king made an order: In connection with the house of God at Jerusalem, let the house be put up, the place where they make offerings, and let the earth for the bases be put in place; let it be sixty cubits high and sixty cubits wide;

bbe@Ezra:6:5 @And let the gold and silver vessels from the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the Temple at Jerusalem to Babylon, be given back and taken again to the Temple at Jerusalem, every one in its place, and put them in the house of God.

bbe@Ezra:6:8 @Further, I give orders as to what you are to do for the responsible men of the Jews in connection with the building of this house of God: that from the king's wealth, that is, from the taxes got together in the land over the river, the money needed is to be given to these men readily, so that their work may not be stopped.

bbe@Ezra:6:9 @And whatever they have need of, young oxen and sheep and lambs, for burned offerings to the God of heaven, grain, salt, wine, and oil, whatever the priests in Jerusalem say is necessary, is to be given to them day by day regularly:

bbe@Ezra:6:12 @And may the God who has made it a resting-place for his name send destruction on all kings and peoples whose hands are outstretched to make any change in this or to do damage to this house of God at Jerusalem. I, Darius, have given this order, let it be done with all care.

bbe@Ezra:6:13 @Then Tattenai, the ruler across the river, and Shethar-bozenai and their people, because of the order given by King Darius, did as he had said with all care.

bbe@Ezra:6:17 @And they gave as offerings at the opening of this house of God a hundred oxen, two hundred sheep, four hundred lambs; and for a sin-offering for all Israel, twelve he-goats, being the number of the tribes of Israel.

bbe@Ezra:6:18 @And they put the priests in their divisions and the Levites in their order, for the worship of God at Jerusalem; as it is recorded in the book of Moses.

bbe@Ezra:6:20 @For the priests and the Levites had made themselves clean together; they were all clean: and they put the Passover lamb to death for all those who had come back, and for their brothers the priests and for themselves.

bbe@Ezra:6:21 @And the children of Israel, who had come back, and all those who were joined to them, after separating themselves from the evil ways of the people of the land to become the servants of the Lord, the God of Israel, took food together,

bbe@Ezra:7:2 @The son of Shallum, the son of Zadok, the son of Ahitub,

bbe@Ezra:7:7 @And some of the children of Israel went up, with some of the priests and the Levites and the music-makers and the door-keepers and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.

bbe@Ezra:7:8 @And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, in the seventh year of the king's rule.

bbe@Ezra:7:9 @For, starting his journey from Babylon on the first day of the first month, he came to Jerusalem on the first day of the fifth month, by the good help of his God.

bbe@Ezra:7:12 @Artaxerxes, king of kings, to Ezra the priest, scribe of the law of the God of heaven, all peace;

bbe@Ezra:8:8 @And of the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah, the son of Michael; and with him eighty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:9 @Of the sons of Joab, Obadiah, the son of Jehiel; and with him two hundred and eighteen males.

bbe@Ezra:8:10 @And of the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah; and with him a hundred and sixty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:11 @And of the sons of Bebai, Zechariah, the son of Bebai; and with him twenty-eight males.

bbe@Ezra:8:12 @And of the sons of Azgad, Johanan, the son of Hakkatan; and with him a hundred and ten males.

bbe@Ezra:8:13 @And of the sons of Adonikam, the last, whose names were Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them sixty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:14 @And of the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zabbud; and with them seventy males.

bbe@Ezra:8:16 @Then I sent for Eliezer and Ariel and Shemaiah and Elnathan Jarib and Elnathan and Nathan and Zechariah and Meshullam, all responsible men; and for Joiarib and Elnathan, who were wise men.

bbe@Ezra:8:20 @And of the Nethinim, to whom David and the captains had given the work of helping the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim, all of them specially named.

bbe@Ezra:8:21 @Then I gave orders for a time of going without food, there by the river Ahava, so that we might make ourselves low before our God in prayer, requesting from him a straight way for us and for our little ones and for all our substance.

bbe@Ezra:8:22 @For I would not, for shame, make request to the king for a band of armed men and horsemen to give us help against those who might make attacks on us on the way: for we had said to the king, The hand of our God is on his servants for good, but his power and his wrath are against all those who are turned away from him.

bbe@Ezra:8:25 @And gave to them by weight the silver and the gold and the vessels, all the offering for the house of our God which the king and his wise men and his captains and all Israel there present had given:

bbe@Ezra:8:26 @Measuring into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels, a hundred talents' weight, and a hundred talents of gold,

bbe@Ezra:8:27 @And twenty gold basins, of a thousand darics, and two vessels of the best bright brass, equal in value to gold.

bbe@Ezra:8:29 @Take care of them and keep them, till you put them on the scales before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and the chiefs of the families of Israel, in Jerusalem, in the rooms of the house of the Lord.

bbe@Ezra:8:30 @So the priests and the Levites took the weight of silver and gold and the vessels, to take them to Jerusalem into the house of our God.

bbe@Ezra:8:31 @Then we went away from the river of Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go to Jerusalem; and the hand of our God was on us, and he gave us salvation from our haters and those who were waiting to make an attack on us by the way.

bbe@Ezra:8:32 @And we came to Jerusalem and were there for three days.

bbe@Ezra:8:34 @All was handed over by number and by weight: and the weight was put on record at that time.

bbe@Ezra:8:35 @And those who had been prisoners, who had come back from a strange land, made burned offerings to the God of Israel, twelve oxen for all Israel, ninety-six male sheep, seventy-seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all this was a burned offering to the Lord.

bbe@Ezra:9:5 @And at the evening offering, having made myself low before God, I got up, and with signs of grief, falling down on my knees, with my hands stretched out to the Lord my God,

bbe@Ezra:9:8 @And now for a little time grace has come to us from the Lord our God, to let a small band of us get free and to give us a nail in his holy place, so that our God may give light to our eyes and a measure of new life in our prison chains.

bbe@Ezra:9:9 @For we are servants; but our God has not been turned away from us in our prison, but has had mercy on us before the eyes of the kings of Persia, to give us new strength to put up again the house of our God and to make fair its waste places, and to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:9:15 @O Lord God of Israel, righteousness is yours; we are only a small band which has been kept from death, as at this day: see, we are before you in our sin; for no one may keep his place before you because of this.

bbe@Ezra:10:1 @Now while Ezra was making his prayer and his statement of wrongdoing, weeping and falling down before the house of God, a very great number of men and women and children out of Israel came together round him: for the people were weeping bitterly.

bbe@Ezra:10:3 @Let us now make an agreement with our God to put away all the wives and all their children, if it seems right to my lord and to those who go in fear of the words of our God; and let it be done in keeping with the law.

bbe@Ezra:10:5 @Then Ezra got up, and made the chiefs of the priests and the Levites and all Israel take an oath that they would do this. So they took an oath.

bbe@Ezra:10:7 @And they made a public statement through all Judah and Jerusalem, to all those who had come back, that they were to come together to Jerusalem;

bbe@Ezra:10:8 @And that if anyone did not come before three days were past, as ordered by the rulers and the responsible men, all his goods would be put under the curse, and he himself would be cut off from the meeting of the people who had come back.

bbe@Ezra:10:9 @Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin came together to Jerusalem before three days were past; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people were seated in the wide square in front of the house of God, shaking with fear because of this business and because of the great rain

bbe@Ezra:10:12 @Then all the people, answering, said with a loud voice, As you have said, so it is right for us to do.

bbe@Ezra:10:14 @So now let our rulers be representatives for all the people, and let all those in our towns who are married to strange women come at fixed times, and with them the responsible men and the judges of every town, till the burning wrath of our God is turned away from us, and this has been done.

bbe@Ezra:10:16 @So those who had come back did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of families, by their fathers' families, all of them by their names, were marked out; and on the first day of the tenth month they took their places to go into the question with care.

bbe@Ezra:10:17 @And they got to the end of all the men who were married to strange women by the first day of the first month.

bbe@Ezra:10:18 @And among the sons of the priests who were married to strange women were these: of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak and his brothers, Maaseiah and Eliezer and Jarib and Gedaliah.

bbe@Ezra:10:19 @And they gave their word that they would put away their wives; and for their sin, they gave an offering of a male sheep of the flock.

bbe@Ezra:10:24 @And of the music-makers, Eliashib; and of the door-keepers, Shallum and Telem and Uri.

bbe@Ezra:10:25 @And of Israel, the sons of Parosh, Ramiah and Izziah and Malchijah and Mijamin and Eleazar and Malchijah and Benaiah.

bbe@Ezra:10:29 @And of the sons of Bani, Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub and Sheal, Jeremoth.

bbe@Ezra:10:30 @And of the sons of Pahath-moab, Adna and Chelal, Benaiah, Maaseiah, Mattaniah, Bezalel and Binnui and Manasseh.

bbe@Ezra:10:31 @And of the sons of Harim, Eliezer, Isshijah, Malchijah, Shemaiah, Shimeon,

bbe@Ezra:10:32 @Benjamin, Malluch, Shemariah.

bbe@Ezra:10:42 @Shallum, Amariah, Joseph.

bbe@Ezra:10:44 @All these had taken strange wives; and some of them had wives by whom they had offspring.

bbe@Nehemiah:1:1 @The history of Nehemiah, the son of Hacaliah. Now it came about, in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, when I was in Shushan, the king's town,

bbe@Nehemiah:1:2 @That Hanani, one of my brothers, came with certain men from Judah; and in answer to my request for news of the Jews who had been prisoners and had got away, and of Jerusalem,

bbe@Nehemiah:1:3 @They said to me, The small band of Jews now living there in the land are in great trouble and shame: the wall of Jerusalem has been broken down, and its doorways burned with fire.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:3 @And said to the king, May the king be living for ever: is it not natural for my face to be sad, when the town, the place where the bodies of my fathers are at rest, has been made waste and its doorways burned with fire?

bbe@Nehemiah:2:5 @And I said to the king, If it is the king's pleasure, and if your servant has your approval, send me to Judah, to the town where the bodies of my fathers are at rest, so that I may take in hand the building of it.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:8 @And a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the king's park, so that he may give me wood to make boards for the doors of the tower of the house, and for the wall of the town, and for the house which is to be mine. And the king gave me this, for the hand of my God was on me.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:10 @And Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, hearing of it, were greatly troubled because a man had come to the help of the children of Israel.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:11 @So I came to Jerusalem and was there three days.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:12 @And in the night I got up, taking with me a small band of men; I said nothing to any man of what God had put into my heart to do for Jerusalem: and I had no beast with me but the one on which I was seated.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:13 @And I went out by night, through the doorway of the valley, and past the dragon's water-spring as far as the place where waste material was put, viewing the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down, and the doorways which had been burned with fire.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:15 @Then in the night, I went up by the stream, viewing the wall; then turning back, I went in by the door in the valley, and so came back.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:17 @Then I said to them, You see what a bad condition we are in; how Jerusalem is a waste, and its doorways burned with fire: come, let us get to work, building up the wall of Jerusalem, so that we may no longer be put to shame.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:19 @But Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, hearing of it, made sport of us, laughing at us and saying, What are you doing? will you go against the king?

bbe@Nehemiah:2:20 @Then answering them I said, The God of heaven, he will be our help; so we his servants will go on with our building: but you have no part or right or any name in Jerusalem.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:4 @By their side Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz, was making good the walls. Then Meshullam, the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabel; and by him, Zadok, the son of Baana.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:8 @Near them was working Uzziel, the son of Harhaiah, the gold-worker. And by him was Hananiah, one of the perfume-makers, building up Jerusalem as far as the wide wall.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:9 @Near them was working Rephaiah, the son of Hur, the ruler of half Jerusalem.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:11 @Malchijah, the son of Harim, and Hasshub, the son of Pahath-moab, were working on another part, and the tower of the ovens.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:12 @Near them was Shallum, the son of Hallohesh, the ruler of half Jerusalem, with his daughters.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:13 @Hanun and the people of Zanoah were working on the doorway of the valley; they put it up and put up its doors, with their locks and rods, and a thousand cubits of wall as far as the doorway where the waste material was placed.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:14 @And Malchijah, the son of Rechab, the ruler of the division of Beth-haccherem, made good the doorway of the waste, building it up and putting up its doors, with their locks and rods.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:15 @And Shallun, the son of Col-hozeh, the ruler of the division of Mizpah, made good the doorway of the fountain, building it up and covering it and putting up its doors, with their locks and rods, with the wall of the pool of Shelah by the king's garden, as far as the steps which go down from the town of David.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:16 @By his side was working Nehemiah, the son of Azbuk, ruler of half the division of Beth-zur, as far as the place opposite the last resting-places of David's family, and the pool which was made and the house of the men of war.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:17 @Then came the Levites, Rehum, the son of Bani. By his side was working Hashabiah, ruler of half the division of Keilah, for his division.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:18 @After him were working their brothers, Bavvai, the son of Henadad, ruler of half the division of Keilah.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:19 @And by his side was working Ezer, the son of Jeshua, the ruler of Mizpah, making good another part opposite the way up to the store of arms at the turning of the wall.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:20 @After him Baruch, the son of Zabbai, was hard at work on another part, from the turning of the wall to the door of the house of Eliashib, the chief priest.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:23 @After them came Benjamin and Hasshub, opposite their house. After them Azariah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ananiah, made good the wall by the house where he himself was living.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:24 @After him Binnui, the son of Henadad, was working on another part, from the house of Azariah as far as the turning of the wall and the angle.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:25 @Palal, the son of Uzai, made good the wall opposite the angle and the tower which comes out from the higher part of the king's house, by the open space of the watch. After him was Pedaiah, the son of Parosh.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:27 @After him the Tekoites were making good another part, opposite the great tower which comes out, and up to the wall of the Ophel.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:30 @After him Hananiah, the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun, the sixth son of Zalaph, were making good another part. After him Meshullam, the son of Berechiah, made good the wall opposite his room.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:31 @After him Malchijah, one of the gold-workers to the Nethinim and the traders, made good the wall opposite the doorway of Hammiphkad and as far as the way up to the angle.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:32 @And between the way up to the angle and the sheep door, the gold-workers and the traders made good the wall.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:1 @Now, Sanballat, hearing that we were building the wall, was very angry, and in his wrath made sport of the Jews.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:3 @Now Tobiah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Such is their building that if a fox goes up it, their stone wall will be broken down.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:6 @So we went on building the wall; and all the wall was joined together half-way up: for the people were working hard.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:7 @But when it came to the ears of Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabians and the Ammonites and the Ashdodites, that the building of the walls of Jerusalem was going forward and the broken places were being made good, they were full of wrath;

bbe@Nehemiah:4:8 @And they made designs, all of them together, to come and make an attack on Jerusalem, causing trouble there.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:10 @And Judah said, The strength of the workmen is giving way, and there is much waste material; it is impossible for us to put up the wall

bbe@Nehemiah:4:12 @And it came about that when the Jews who were living near them came, they said to us ten times, From all directions they are coming against us.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:13 @So in the lowest part of the space at the back of the walls, in the open places, I put the people by families, with their swords, their spears, and their bows.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:15 @And when it came to the ears of those who were against us, that we had knowledge of their designs and that God had made their purpose come to nothing, we all went back to the wall, everyone to his work

bbe@Nehemiah:4:16 @And from that time, half of my servants were doing their part of the work, and half kept the spears and body-covers and the bows and the metal war-dresses; and the chiefs were at the back of the men of Judah.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:17 @Those who were building the wall and those who were moving material did their part, everyone working with one hand, with his spear in the other;

bbe@Nehemiah:4:19 @And I said to the great ones and the chiefs and the rest of the people, The work is great and widely spaced and we are far away from one another on the wall:

bbe@Nehemiah:4:21 @So we went on with the work: and half of them had spears in their hands from the dawn of the morning till the stars were seen.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:22 @And at the same time I said to the people, Let everyone with his servant come inside Jerusalem for the night, so that at night they may keep watch for us, and go on working by day.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:13 @And shaking out the folds of my robe, I said, So may God send out from his house and his work every man who does not keep this agreement; even so let him be sent out and made as nothing. And all the meeting of the people said, So be it, and gave praise to the Lord. And the people did as they had said.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:16 @And I kept on with the work of this wall, and we got no land for ourselves: and all my servants were helping with the work.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:18 @Now the food made ready for one day was one ox and six fat sheep, as well as fowls; and once in ten days a store of all sorts of wine: but all the same, I did not take the food to which the ruler had a right, because the people were crushed under a hard yoke.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:19 @Keep in mind, O my God, for my good, all I have done for this people.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:1 @Now when word was given to Sanballat and Tobiah and to Geshem the Arabian and to the rest of our haters, that I had done the building of the wall and that there were no more broken places in it (though even then I had not put up the doors in the doorways);

bbe@Nehemiah:6:2 @Sanballat and Geshem sent to me saying, Come, let us have a meeting in one of the little towns in the lowland of Ono. But their purpose was to do me evil.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:5 @Then Sanballat sent his servant to me a fifth time with an open letter in his hand;

bbe@Nehemiah:6:6 @And in it these words were recorded: It is said among the nations, and Geshem says so, that you and the Jews are hoping to make yourselves free from the king's authority; and that this is why you are building the wall: and they say that it is your purpose to be their king;

bbe@Nehemiah:6:7 @And that you have prophets preaching about you in Jerusalem, and saying, There is a king in Judah: now an account of these things will be sent to the king. So come now, and let us have a discussion.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:12 @Then it became clear to me that God had not sent him: he had given this word of a prophet against me himself: and Tobiah and Sanballat had given him money to do so.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:14 @Keep in mind, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat and what they did, and Noadiah, the woman prophet, and the rest of the prophets whose purpose was to put fear into me

bbe@Nehemiah:6:15 @So the wall was complete on the twenty-fifth day of the month Elul, in fifty-two days.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:16 @And when our haters had news of this, all the nations round about us were full of fear and were greatly shamed, for they saw that this work had been done by our God.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:1 @Now when the building of the wall was complete and I had put up the doors, and the door-keepers and the music-makers and the Levites had been given their places,

bbe@Nehemiah:7:2 @I made my brother Hanani, and Hananiah, the ruler of the tower, responsible for the government of Jerusalem: for he was a man of good faith, fearing God more than most.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:3 @And I said to them, Do not let the doors of Jerusalem be open till the sun is high; and while the watchmen are in their places, let the doors be shut and locked: and let the people of Jerusalem be put on watch, every one in his watch, opposite his house.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:4 @Now the town was wide and great: but the people in it were only a small number, and the houses had not been put up.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:6 @These are the people of the divisions of the kingdom, among those who had been made prisoners by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and taken away by him, who went back to Jerusalem and Judah, every one to his town;

bbe@Nehemiah:7:45 @The door-keepers: the children of Shallum, the children of Ater, the children of Talmon, the children of Akkub, the children of Hatita, the children of Shobai, a hundred and thirty-eight.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:48 @The children of Lebana, the children of Hagaba, the children of Salmai,

bbe@Nehemiah:7:58 @The children of Jaala, the children of Darkon, the children of Giddel,

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

bbe@Nehemiah:7:61 @All these were the people who went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer; but because they had no knowledge of their fathers' families or offspring, it was not certain if they were Israelites:

bbe@Nehemiah:7:66 @The number of all the people together was forty-two thousand, three hundred and sixty;

bbe@Nehemiah:7:73 @So the priests and the Levites and the door-keepers and the music-makers and some of the people and the Nethinim, and all Israel, were living in their towns.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:1 @And when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their towns. And all the people came together like one man into the wide place in front of the water-doorway; and they made a request to Ezra the scribe that he would put before them the book of the law of Moses which the Lord had given to Israel.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:2 @And Ezra the priest put the law before the meeting of the people, before the men and women and all those who were able to take it in, on the first day of the seventh month.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:3 @He was reading it in the wide place in front of the water-doorway, from early morning till the middle of the day, in the hearing of all those men and women whose minds were able to take it in; and the ears of all the people were open to the book of the law.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:4 @And Ezra the scribe took his place on a tower of wood which they had made for the purpose; and by his side were placed Mattithiah and Shema and Anaiah and Uriah and Hilkiah and Maaseiah on the right; and on the left, Pedaiah and Mishael and Malchijah and Hashum and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah and Meshullam.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:5 @And Ezra took the book, opening it before the eyes of all the people (for he was higher than the people); and when it was open, all the people got to their feet:

bbe@Nehemiah:8:6 @And Ezra gave praise to the Lord, the great God. And all the people in answer said, So be it, so be it; lifting up their hands; and with bent heads they gave worship to the Lord, going down on their faces to the earth.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:9 @And Nehemiah, who was the Tirshatha, and Ezra, the priest and scribe, and the Levites who were the teachers of the people, said to all the people, This day is holy to the Lord your God; let there be no sorrow or weeping; for all the people were weeping on hearing the words of the law.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:11 @So the Levites made all the people quiet, saying, Be quiet, for the day is holy; and do not give way to grief.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:12 @And all the people went away to take food and drink, and to send food to others, and to be glad, because the words which were said to them had been made clear.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:13 @And on the second day the heads of families of all the people and the priests and the Levites came together to Ezra the scribe, to give attention to the words of the law.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:15 @And that they were to give out an order, and make it public in all their towns and in Jerusalem, saying, Go out to the mountain and get olive branches and branches of field olives and of myrtle, and palm branches and branches of thick trees, to make tents, as it says in the book.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:17 @All the people who had been prisoners and had come back, made tents and were living in them: for from the time of Jeshua, the son of Nun, till that day, the children of Israel had not done so. And there was very great joy.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:2 @And the seed of Israel made themselves separate from all the men of other nations, publicly requesting forgiveness for their sins and the wrongdoing of their fathers.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:5 @Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah said, Get up and give praise to the Lord your God for ever and ever. Praise be to your great name which is lifted up high over all blessing and praise.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:6 @You are the Lord, even you only; you have made heaven, the heaven of heavens with all their armies, the earth and all things in it, the seas and everything in them; and you keep them from destruction: and the armies of heaven are your worshippers.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:7 @You are the Lord, the God, who took Abram and made him yours, guiding him from Ur of the Chaldees, and gave him the name of Abraham;

bbe@Nehemiah:9:10 @And you did signs and wonders on Pharaoh and all his servants and all the people of his land; for you saw how cruel they were to them. So you got yourself a name as it is today.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:18 @Even when they had made for themselves an ox of metal, and said, This is your God who took you up out of Egypt, and had done so much to make you angry;

bbe@Nehemiah:9:25 @And they took walled towns and a fat land, and became the owners of houses full of all good things, water-holes cut in the rock, vine-gardens and olive-gardens and a wealth of fruit-trees: so they had food enough and became fat, and had joy in the good you gave them.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:28 @But when they had rest, they did evil again before you: so you gave them into the hands of their haters, who had rule over them: but when they came back and made their prayer to you, you gave ear to them from heaven; again and again, in your mercy, you gave them salvation;

bbe@Nehemiah:9:32 @And now, our God, the great, the strong, the God who is to be feared, who keeps faith and mercy, let not all this trouble seem small to you, which has come on us, and on our kings and our rulers and on our priests and our prophets and our fathers and on all your people from the time of the kings of Assyria till this day.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:35 @For they have not been your servants in their kingdom, and in all the good things you gave them, and in the great and fat land you gave them, and they have not been turned away from their evil-doing.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:38 @And because of all this we are making an agreement in good faith, and putting it in writing; and our rulers, our Levites, and our priests are putting their names to it.

bbe@Nehemiah:10:1 @Now those who put down their names were Nehemiah the Tirshatha, the son of Hacaliah, and Zedekiah,

bbe@Nehemiah:10:29 @They were united with their brothers, their rulers, and put themselves under a curse and an oath, to keep their steps in the way of God's law, which was given by Moses, the servant of God, and to keep and do all the orders of the Lord, our Lord, and his decisions and his rules;

bbe@Nehemiah:10:33 @For the holy bread, and for the regular meal offering and the regular burned offering on the Sabbaths and at the new moon and the fixed feasts, and for the sin-offerings to take away the sin of Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.

bbe@Nehemiah:10:34 @And we, the priests and the Levites and the people, made selection, by the decision of the Lord, of those who were to take the wood offering into the house of God, by families at the regular times, year by year, to be burned on the altar of the Lord our God, as it is recorded in the law;

bbe@Nehemiah:10:37 @And that we would take the first of our rough meal, and our lifted offerings, and the fruit of every sort of tree, and wine and oil, to the priests, to the rooms of the house of our God; and the tenth of the produce of our land to the Levites; for they, the Levites, take a tenth in all the towns of our ploughed land.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:1 @And the rulers of the people were living in Jerusalem: the rest of the people made selection, by the decision of chance, of one out of every ten to be living in Jerusalem, the holy town; the other nine to go to the other towns.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:2 @And the people gave a blessing to all the men who were freely offering to take up their places in Jerusalem.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:3 @Now these are the chiefs of the divisions of the country who were living in Jerusalem: but in the towns of Judah everyone was living on his heritage in the towns, that is, Israel, the priests, the Levites, the Nethinim, and the children of Solomon's servants.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:4 @And in Jerusalem there were living certain of the children of Judah and of Benjamin. Of the children of Judah: Athaiah, the son of Uzziah, the son of Zechariah, the son of Amariah, the son of Shephatiah, the son of Mahalalel, of the children of Perez;

bbe@Nehemiah:11:6 @All the sons of Perez living in Jerusalem were four hundred and sixty-eight men of good position.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:7 @And these are the sons of Benjamin: Sallu, the son of Meshullam, the son of Joed, the son of Pedaiah, the son of Kolaiah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ithiel, the son of Jeshaiah.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:8 @And after him Gabbai, Sallai, nine hundred and twenty-eight.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:12 @And their brothers who did the work of the house, eight hundred and twenty-two; and Adaiah, the son of Jeroham, the son of Pelaliah, the son of Amzi, the son of Zechariah, the son of Pashhur, the son of Malchijah,

bbe@Nehemiah:11:17 @And Mattaniah, the son of Mica, the son of Zabdi, the son of Asaph, who had to give the first note of the song of praise in prayer, and Bakbukiah, the second among his brothers, and Abda, the son of Shammua, the son of Galal, the son of Jeduthun.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:18 @All the Levites in the holy town were two hundred and eighty-four.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:19 @In addition the door-keepers, Akkub, Talmon, and their brothers who kept watch at the doors, were a hundred and seventy-two.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:20 @And the rest of Israel, of the priests, the Levites, were in all the towns of Judah, every one in his heritage.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:22 @And the overseer of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi, the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, of the sons of Asaph, the music-makers, who was over the business of the house of God.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:27 @And in Hazar-shual, and in Beer-sheba and its daughter-towns,

bbe@Nehemiah:11:30 @Zanoah, Adullam and their daughter-towns, Lachish and its fields, Azekah and its daughter-towns. So they were living from Beer-sheba to the valley of Hinnom.

bbe@Nehemiah:11:34 @Hadid, Zeboim, Neballat,

bbe@Nehemiah:11:35 @Lod and Ono, the valley of expert workers.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:1 @Now these are the priests and the Levites who went up with Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua: Seraiah, Jeremiah, Ezra,

bbe@Nehemiah:12:2 @Amariah, Malluch, Hattush,

bbe@Nehemiah:12:7 @Sallu, Amok, Hilkiah, Jedaiah. These were the chiefs of the priests and of their brothers in the days of Jeshua.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:14 @Of Malluchi, Jonathan; of Shebaniah, Joseph;

bbe@Nehemiah:12:20 @Of Sallai, Kallai; of Amok, Eber;

bbe@Nehemiah:12:25 @Mattaniah, and Bakbukiah, Obadiah, Meshullam, Talmon, Akkub, were door-keepers keeping the watch at the store-houses of the doors.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:27 @And when the time came for the wall of Jerusalem to be made holy, they sent for the Levites out of all their places to come to Jerusalem, to keep the feast with joy, and with praise and melody, with brass and corded instruments of music.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:28 @And the sons of the music-makers came together from the lowland round about Jerusalem and from the daughter-towns of the Netophathites,

bbe@Nehemiah:12:29 @And from Beth-gilgal and from the fields of Geba and Azmaveth: for the music-makers had made daughter-towns for themselves round about Jerusalem.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:30 @And the priests and the Levites made themselves clean; and they made the people clean, and the doorways and the wall.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:31 @Then I made the rulers of Judah come up on the wall, and I put in position two great bands of them who gave praise, walking in ordered lines; one went to the right on the wall, in the direction of the doorway where the waste was put;

bbe@Nehemiah:12:32 @And after them went Hoshaiah and half of the rulers of Judah,

bbe@Nehemiah:12:36 @And his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel and Judah, Hanani, with the music-instruments of David, the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was at their head;

bbe@Nehemiah:12:37 @And by the doorway of the fountain and straight in front of them, they went up by the steps of the town of David, at the slope up of the wall, over the house of David, as far as the water-doorway to the east.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:38 @And the other band of those who gave praise went to the left, and I went after them with half the people, on the wall, over the tower of the ovens, as far as the wide wall;

bbe@Nehemiah:12:40 @So the two bands of those who gave praise took up their positions in the house of God, and I and half of the chiefs with me:

bbe@Nehemiah:12:42 @And Maaseiah and Shemaiah and Eleazar and Uzzi and Jehohanan and Malchijah and Elam and Ezer. And the makers of melody made their voices loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:43 @And on that day they made great offerings and were glad; for God had made them glad with great joy; and the women and the children were glad with them: so that the joy of Jerusalem came to the ears of those who were far off.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:47 @And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave what was needed by the music-makers and the door-keepers day by day: and they made the offerings holy for the Levites; and the Levites did the same for the sons of Aaron.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:2 @Because they did not give the children of Israel bread and water when they came to them, but got Balaam to put a curse on them: though the curse was turned into a blessing by our God.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:3 @So after hearing the law, they took out of Israel all the mixed people.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:5 @Had made ready for him a great room, where at one time they kept the meal offerings, the perfume, and the vessels and the tenths of the grain and wine and oil which were given by order to the Levites and the music-makers and the door-keepers, and the lifted offerings for the priests.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:6 @But all this time I was not at Jerusalem: for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes, king of Babylon, I went to the king; and after some days, I got the king to let me go,

bbe@Nehemiah:13:7 @And I came to Jerusalem; and it was clear to me what evil Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in making ready for him a room in the buildings of the house of God.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:8 @And it was evil in my eyes: so I had all Tobiah's things put out of the room.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:9 @Then I gave orders, and they made the rooms clean: and I put back in them the vessels of the house of God, with the meal offerings and the perfume.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:12 @Then all Judah came with the tenth part of the grain and wine and oil and put it into the store-houses.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:15 @In those days, I saw in Judah some who were crushing grapes on the Sabbath, and getting in grain and putting it on asses; as well as wine and grapes and figs and all sorts of goods which they took into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: and I gave witness against them on the day when they were marketing food

bbe@Nehemiah:13:16 @And there were men of Tyre there, who came with fish and all sorts of goods, trading with the children of Judah and in Jerusalem on the Sabbath.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:18 @Did not your fathers do the same, and did not our God send all this evil on us and on this town? but you are causing more wrath to come on Israel by not keeping the Sabbath holy.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:19 @And so, when the streets of Jerusalem were getting dark before the Sabbath, I gave orders for the doors to be shut and not to be open again till after the Sabbath: and I put some of my servants by the door so that nothing might be taken in on the Sabbath day.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:20 @So the traders in all sorts of goods took their night's rest outside Jerusalem once or twice.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:21 @Then I gave witness against them and said, Why are you waiting all night by the wall? if you do so again I will have you taken prisoners. From that time they did not come again on the Sabbath.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:24 @And their children were talking half in the language of Ashdod; they had no knowledge of the Jews' language, but made use of the language of the two peoples.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:26 @Was it not in these things that Solomon, king of Israel, did wrong? among a number of nations there was no king like him, and he was dear to his God, and God made him king over all Israel: but even he was made to do evil by strange women.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:27 @Are we then without protest to let you do all this great evil, sinning against our God by taking strange women for your wives?

bbe@Nehemiah:13:28 @And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib, the chief priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite: so I sent him away from me.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:30 @So I made them clean from all strange people, and had regular watches fixed for the priests and for the Levites, everyone in his work;

bbe@Esther:1:3 @In the third year of his rule he gave a feast to all his captains and his servants; and the captains of the army of Persia and Media, the great men and the rulers of the divisions of his kingdom, were present before him;

bbe@Esther:1:4 @And for a long time, even a hundred and eighty days, he let them see all the wealth and the glory of his kingdom and the great power and honour which were his.

bbe@Esther:1:5 @And at the end of that time, the king gave a feast for all the people who were present in Shushan, the king's town, small as well as great, for seven days, in the outer square of the garden of the king's house.

bbe@Esther:1:8 @And the drinking was in keeping with the law; no one was forced: for the king had given orders to all the chief servants of his house to do as was pleasing to every man.

bbe@Esther:1:13 @And the king said to the wise men, who had knowledge of the times, (for this was the king's way with all who were expert in law and in the giving of decisions:

bbe@Esther:1:16 @And before the king and the captains, Memucan gave his answer: Vashti the queen has done wrong, not only to the king, but to all the captains and to all the peoples in all the divisions of the kingdom of King Ahasuerus;

bbe@Esther:1:17 @For news of what the queen has done will come to the ears of all women, and they will no longer give respect to their husbands when it is said to them, King Ahasuerus gave orders for Vashti the queen to come before him and she came not.

bbe@Esther:1:18 @And the wives of the captains of Persia and Media, hearing what the queen has done, will say the same to all the king's captains. So there will be much shame and wrath.

bbe@Esther:1:20 @And when this order, given by the king, is made public through all his kingdom (for it is great), all the wives will give honour to their husbands, great as well as small.

bbe@Esther:1:22 @And sent letters to all the divisions of the kingdom, to every division in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in the language which was theirs, saying that every man was to be the ruler in his house, and that this order was to be given out in the language of his people.

bbe@Esther:2:1 @After these things, when the king's feelings were calmer, the thought of Vashti and what she had done and the order he had made against her, came back to his mind.

bbe@Esther:2:3 @Let the king give authority to certain men in all the divisions of his kingdom, to get together all the fair young virgins and send them to Shushan, the king's town, to the women's house, under the care of Hegai, the king's servant, the keeper of the women: and let the things needed for making them clean be given to them;

bbe@Esther:2:6 @Who had been taken away from Jerusalem among those who had been made prisoner with Jeconiah, king of Judah, when Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, had taken him away.

bbe@Esther:2:11 @And every day Mordecai took his walk before the square of the women's house, to see how Esther was and what would be done to her.

bbe@Esther:2:15 @Now when the time came for Esther, the daughter of Abihail, his father's brother, whom Mordecai had taken as his daughter, to go in to the king, she made request for nothing but what Hegai, the king's servant and keeper of the women, had given her. And Esther was looked on kindly by all who saw her.

bbe@Esther:2:17 @And Esther was more pleasing to the king than all the women, and to his eyes she was fairer and more full of grace than all the other virgins: so he put his crown on her head and made her queen in place of Vashti.

bbe@Esther:2:18 @Then the king gave a great feast for all his captains and his servants, even Esther's feast; and he gave orders through all the divisions of his kingdom for a day of rest from work, and gave wealth from his store.

bbe@Esther:3:1 @After these things, by the order of the king, Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, was lifted up and given a position of honour and a higher place than all the other captains who were with him.

bbe@Esther:3:2 @And all the king's servants who were in the king's house went down to the earth before Haman and gave him honour: for so the king had given orders. But Mordecai did not go down before him or give him honour.

bbe@Esther:3:6 @But it was not enough for him to make an attack on Mordecai only; for they had made clear to him who Mordecai's people were; so Haman made it his purpose to put an end to all the Jews, even Mordecai's people, through all the kingdom of Ahasuerus.

bbe@Esther:3:8 @And Haman said to King Ahasuerus, There is a certain nation living here and there in small groups among the people in all the divisions of your kingdom; their laws are different from those of any other nation, and they do not keep the king's laws: for this reason it is not right for the king to let them be.

bbe@Esther:3:9 @If it is the king's pleasure, let a statement ordering their destruction be put in writing: and I will give to those responsible for the king's business, ten thousand talents of silver for the king's store-house.

bbe@Esther:3:12 @Then on the thirteenth day of the first month, the king's scribes were sent for, and they put in writing Haman's orders to all the king's captains and the rulers of every division of his kingdom and the chiefs of every people: for every division of the kingdom in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in the language which was theirs; it was signed in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with the king's ring.

bbe@Esther:3:13 @And letters were sent by the runners into every division of the kingdom ordering the death and destruction of all Jews, young and old, little children and women, on the same day, even the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar, and the taking of all their goods by force.

bbe@Esther:3:14 @A copy of the writing, to be made public in every part of the kingdom, was sent out to all the peoples, so that they might be ready when that day came.

bbe@Esther:4:11 @It is common knowledge among all the king's servants and the people of every part of the kingdom, that if anyone, man or woman, comes to the king in his inner room without being sent for, there is only one law for him, that he is to be put to death; only those to whom the king's rod of gold is stretched out may keep their lives: but I have not been sent for to come before the king these thirty days.

bbe@Esther:4:13 @Then Mordecai sent this answer back to Esther: Do not have the idea that you in the king's house will be safe from the fate of all the Jews.

bbe@Esther:4:14 @If at this time you say nothing, then help and salvation will come to the Jews from some other place, but you and your father's family will come to destruction: and who is to say that you have not come to the kingdom even for such a time as this?

bbe@Esther:4:16 @Go, get together all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and go without food for me, taking no food or drink night or day for three days: and I and my women will do the same; and so I will go in to the king, which is against the law: and if death is to be my fate, then let it come.

bbe@Esther:5:3 @Then the king said, What is your desire, Queen Esther, and what is your request? I will give it to you, even to the half of my kingdom.

bbe@Esther:5:6 @And while they were drinking wine the king said to Esther, What is your prayer? for it will be given to you and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.

bbe@Esther:5:8 @If I have the king's approval, and if it is the king's pleasure to give me my prayer and do my request, let the king and Haman come to the feast which I will make ready for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said.

bbe@Esther:5:11 @And he gave them an account of the glories of his wealth, and the number of children he had, and the ways in which he had been honoured by the king, and how he had put him over the captains and servants of the king.

bbe@Esther:5:13 @But all this is nothing to me while I see Mordecai the Jew seated by the king's doorway.

bbe@Esther:5:14 @Then his wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, Let a pillar, fifty cubits high, be made ready for hanging him, and in the morning get the king to give orders for the hanging of Mordecai: then you will be able to go to the feast with the king with a glad heart. And Haman was pleased with the suggestion, and he had the pillar made.

bbe@Esther:6:8 @Let them take the robes which the king generally puts on, and the horse on which the king goes, and the crown which is on his head:

bbe@Esther:6:13 @And Haman gave his wife Zeresh and all his friends an account of what had taken place. Then his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, If Mordecai, who is starting to get the better of you, is of the seed of the Jews, you will not be able to do anything against him, but you will certainly go down before him.

bbe@Esther:6:14 @While they were still talking, the king's servants came to take Haman to the feast which Esther had made ready

bbe@Esther:7:2 @And the king said to Esther again on the second day, while they were drinking, What is your prayer, Queen Esther? for it will be given to you; and what is your request? for it will be done, even to the half of my kingdom.

bbe@Esther:7:3 @Then Esther the queen, answering, said, If I have your approval, O king, and if it is the king's pleasure, let my life be given to me in answer to my prayer, and my people at my request:

bbe@Esther:8:1 @That day the king gave all the family of Haman, the hater of the Jews, to Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had made clear what he was to her.

bbe@Esther:8:3 @Then Esther again came before the king, falling down at his feet, and made request to him with weeping, that he would put a stop to the evil purposes of Haman the Agagite and the designs which he had made against the Jews.

bbe@Esther:8:5 @And she said, If it is the king's pleasure and if I have his approval and this thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing to him, then let letters be sent giving orders against those which Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, sent out for the destruction of the Jews in all divisions of the kingdom:

bbe@Esther:8:9 @Then at that time, on the twenty-third day of the third month, which is the month Sivan, the king's scribes were sent for; and everything ordered by Mordecai was put in writing and sent to the Jews and the captains and the rulers and the chiefs of all the divisions of the kingdom from India to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven divisions, to every division in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews in their writing and their language.

bbe@Esther:8:13 @A copy of the writing, to be made public as an order in every division of the kingdom, was given out to all the peoples, so that the Jews might be ready when that day came to give punishment to their haters.

bbe@Esther:8:15 @And Mordecai went out from before the king, dressed in king-like robes of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold and clothing of purple and the best linen: and all the town of Shushan gave loud cries of joy.

bbe@Esther:9:2 @On that day, the Jews came together in their towns through all the divisions of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, for the purpose of attacking all those who were attempting evil against them: and everyone had to give way before them, for the fear of them had come on all the peoples.

bbe@Esther:9:3 @And all the chiefs and the captains and the rulers and those who did the king's business gave support to the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai had come on them.

bbe@Esther:9:5 @So the Jews overcame all their attackers with the sword and with death and destruction, and did to their haters whatever they had a desire to do.

bbe@Esther:9:7 @They put to death Parshandatha, Dalphon, Aspatha,

bbe@Esther:9:8 @Poratha, Adalia, Aridatha,

bbe@Esther:9:16 @And the other Jews in every division of the kingdom came together, fighting for their lives, and got salvation from their haters and put seventy-five thousand of them to death; but they did not put a hand on their goods.

bbe@Esther:9:19 @So the Jews of the country places living in unwalled towns make the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of feasting and joy and a good day, a day for sending offerings one to another.

bbe@Esther:9:20 @And Mordecai sent letters to all the Jews in every division of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, near and far,

bbe@Esther:9:24 @Because Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the hater of all the Jews, had made designs for their destruction, attempting to get a decision by Pur (that is, chance) with a view to putting an end to them and cutting them off;

bbe@Esther:9:27 @The Jews made a rule and gave an undertaking, causing their seed and all those who were joined to them to do the same, so that it might be in force for ever, that they would keep those two days, as ordered in the letter, at the fixed time every year;

bbe@Esther:9:30 @And he sent letters to all the Jews in the hundred and twenty-seven divisions of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with true words of peace,

bbe@Esther:10:2 @And all his acts of power and his great strength and the full story of the high place which the king gave Mordecai, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Media and Persia?

bbe@Esther:10:3 @For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and respected by the body of his countrymen; working for the good of his people, and saying words of peace to all his seed.

bbe@Job:1:5 @And at the end of their days of feasting, Job sent and made them clean, getting up early in the morning and offering burned offerings for them all. For, Job said, It may be that my sons have done wrong and said evil of God in their hearts. And Job did this whenever the feasts came round.

bbe@Job:1:7 @And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.

bbe@Job:1:10 @Have you yourself not put a wall round him and his house and all he has on every side, blessing the work of his hands, and increasing his cattle in the land?

bbe@Job:1:11 @But now, put out your hand against all he has, and he will be cursing you to your face.

bbe@Job:1:12 @And the Lord said to the Satan, See, I give all he has into your hands, only do not put a finger on the man himself. And the Satan went out from before the Lord.

bbe@Job:1:16 @And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The fire of God came down from heaven, burning up the sheep and the goats and the young men completely, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.

bbe@Job:1:17 @And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The Chaldaeans made themselves into three bands, and came down on the camels and took them away, putting the young men to the sword, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.

bbe@Job:1:18 @And this one was still talking when another came, and said, Your sons and your daughters were feasting together in their oldest brother's house,

bbe@Job:1:22 @In all this Job did no sin, and did not say that God's acts were foolish.

bbe@Job:2:2 @And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.

bbe@Job:2:4 @And the Satan said in answer to the Lord, Skin for skin, all a man has he will give for his life.

bbe@Job:2:10 @And he said to her, You are talking like one of the foolish women. If we take the good God sends us, are we not to take the evil when it comes? In all this Job kept his lips from sin.

bbe@Job:2:11 @And Job's three friends had word of all this evil which had come on him. And they came every one from his place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. So they came together to a meeting-place, in order that they might go and make clear to Job their grief for him, and give him comfort.

bbe@Job:3:19 @The small and the great are there, and the servant is free from his master.

bbe@Job:3:21 @To those whose desire is for death, but it comes not; who are searching for it more than for secret wealth;

bbe@Job:4:4 @He who was near to falling has been lifted up by your words, and you have given strength to bent knees.

bbe@Job:4:11 @The old lion comes to his end for need of food, and the young of the she-lion go wandering in all directions.

bbe@Job:5:17 @Truly, that man is happy who has training from the hand of God: so do not let your heart be shut to the teaching of the Ruler of all.

bbe@Job:6:2 @If only my passion might be measured, and put into the scales against my trouble!

bbe@Job:6:4 @For the arrows of the Ruler of all are present with me, and their poison goes deep into my spirit: his army of fears is put in order against me.

bbe@Job:6:6 @Will a man take food which has no taste without salt? or is there any taste in the soft substance of purslain?

bbe@Job:6:10 @So I would still have comfort, and I would have joy in the pains of death, for I have not been false to the words of the Holy One.

bbe@Job:6:14 @He whose heart is shut against his friend has given up the fear of the Ruler of all

bbe@Job:6:15 @My friends have been false like a stream, like streams in the valleys which come to an end:

bbe@Job:6:16 @Which are dark because of the ice, and the snow falling into them;

bbe@Job:6:22 @Did I say, Give me something? or, Make a payment for me out of your wealth?

bbe@Job:6:28 @Now then, let your eyes be turned to me, for truly I will not say what is false to your face.

bbe@Job:8:3 @Does God give wrong decisions? or is the Ruler of all not upright in his judging?

bbe@Job:8:5 @If you will make search for God with care, and put your request before the Ruler of all;

bbe@Job:8:7 @And though your start was small, your end will be very great.

bbe@Job:8:11 @Will the river-plant come up in its pride without wet earth? will the grass get tall without water?

bbe@Job:8:13 @So is the end of all who do not keep God in mind; and the hope of the evil-doer comes to nothing:

bbe@Job:9:8 @By whose hand the heavens were stretched out, and who is walking on the waves of the sea:

bbe@Job:9:22 @It is all the same to me; so I say, He puts an end to the sinner and to him who has done no wrong together.

bbe@Job:9:28 @I go in fear of all my pains; I am certain that I will not be free from sin in your eyes.

bbe@Job:10:20 @Are not the days of my life small in number? Let your eyes be turned away from me, so that I may have a little pleasure,

bbe@Job:10:21 @Before I go to the place from which I will not come back, to the land where all is dark and black,

bbe@Job:11:2 @Are all these words to go unanswered? and is a man seen to be right because he is full of talk?

bbe@Job:11:7 @Are you able to take God's measure, to make discovery of the limits of the Ruler of all?

bbe@Job:12:3 @But I have a mind as well as you; I am equal to you: yes, who has not knowledge of such things as these?

bbe@Job:12:6 @There is wealth in the tents of those who make destruction, and those by whom God is moved to wrath are safe; even those whose god is their strength.

bbe@Job:12:9 @Who does not see by all these that the hand of the Lord has done this?

bbe@Job:12:10 @In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all flesh of man.

bbe@Job:13:1 @Truly, my eye has seen all this, word of it has come to my ear, and I have knowledge of it.

bbe@Job:13:2 @The same things are in my mind as in yours; I am equal to you.

bbe@Job:13:3 @But I would have talk with the Ruler of all, and my desire is to have an argument with God.

bbe@Job:13:4 @But you put a false face on things; all your attempts to put things right are of no value.

bbe@Job:13:7 @Will you say in God's name what is not right, and put false words into his mouth?

bbe@Job:13:16 @And that will be my salvation, for an evil-doer would not come before him,

bbe@Job:13:27 @And you put chains on my feet, watching all my ways, and making a limit for my steps;

bbe@Job:14:14 @If death takes a man, will he come to life again? All the days of my trouble I would be waiting, till the time came for me to be free.

bbe@Job:14:18 @But truly a mountain falling comes to dust, and a rock is moved from its place;

bbe@Job:14:19 @The stones are crushed small by the force of the waters; the dust of the earth is washed away by their overflowing: and so you put an end to the hope of man.

bbe@Job:15:2 @Will a wise man make answer with knowledge of no value, or will he give birth to the east wind?

bbe@Job:15:3 @Will he make arguments with words in which is no profit, and with sayings which have no value?

bbe@Job:15:5 @For your mouth is guided by your sin, and you have taken the tongue of the false for yourself.

bbe@Job:15:8 @Were you present at the secret meeting of God? and have you taken all wisdom for yourself?

bbe@Job:15:20 @The evil man is in pain all his days, and the number of the years stored up for the cruel is small.

bbe@Job:15:25 @Because his hand is stretched out against God, and his heart is lifted up against the Ruler of all,

bbe@Job:15:28 @And he has made his resting-place in the towns which have been pulled down, in houses where no man had a right to be, whose fate was to become masses of broken walls.

bbe@Job:15:29 @He does not get wealth for himself, and is unable to keep what he has got; the heads of his grain are not bent down to the earth.

bbe@Job:15:31 @Let him not put his hope in what is false, falling into error: for he will get deceit as his reward.

bbe@Job:16:7 @But now he has overcome me with weariness and fear, and I am in the grip of all my trouble.

bbe@Job:16:10 @Their mouths are open wide against me; the blows of his bitter words are falling on my face; all of them come together in a mass against me.

bbe@Job:17:5 @As for him who is false to his friend for a reward, light will be cut off from the eyes of his children.

bbe@Job:17:7 @My eyes have become dark because of my pain, and all my body is wasted to a shade.

bbe@Job:17:10 @But come back, now, all of you, come; and I will not see a wise man among you.

bbe@Job:18:2 @How long will it be before you have done talking? Get wisdom, and then we will say what is in our minds.

bbe@Job:18:8 @His feet take him into the net, and he goes walking into the cords.

bbe@Job:18:12 @His strength is made feeble for need of food, and destruction is waiting for his falling footstep.

bbe@Job:19:8 @My way is walled up by him so that I may not go by: he has made my roads dark.

bbe@Job:19:19 @All the men of my circle keep away from me; and those dear to me are turned against me.

bbe@Job:20:10 @His children are hoping that the poor will be kind to them, and his hands give back his wealth.

bbe@Job:20:15 @He takes down wealth as food, and sends it up again; it is forced out of his stomach by God.

bbe@Job:20:20 @There is no peace for him in his wealth, and no salvation for him in those things in which he took delight.

bbe@Job:20:22 @Even when his wealth is great, he is full of care, for the hand of everyone who is in trouble is turned against him.

bbe@Job:20:26 @All his wealth is stored up for the dark: a fire not made by man sends destruction on him, and on everything in his tent.

bbe@Job:21:10 @Their ox is ready at all times to give seed; their cow gives birth, without dropping her young.

bbe@Job:21:15 @What is the Ruler of all, that we may give him worship? and what profit is it to us to make prayer to him?

bbe@Job:21:20 @Let his eyes see his trouble, and let him be full of the wrath of the Ruler of all!

bbe@Job:21:30 @How the evil man goes free in the day of trouble, and has salvation in the day of wrath?

bbe@Job:21:33 @The earth of the valley covering his bones is sweet to him, and all men come after him, as there were unnumbered before him.

bbe@Job:22:3 @Is it of any interest to the Ruler of all that you are upright? or is it of use to him that your ways are without sin?

bbe@Job:22:14 @Thick clouds are covering him, so that he is unable to see; and he is walking on the arch of heaven.

bbe@Job:22:17 @Who said to God, Go away from us; and, What is the Ruler of all able to do to us?

bbe@Job:22:20 @Saying, Truly, their substance is cut off, and their wealth is food for the fire.

bbe@Job:22:23 @If you come back to the Ruler of all, making yourself low before him; if you put evil far away from your tents;

bbe@Job:22:24 @And put your gold in the dust, even your gold of Ophir among the rocks of the valleys;

bbe@Job:22:25 @Then the Ruler of all will be your gold, and his teaching will be your silver;

bbe@Job:22:26 @For then you will have delight in the Ruler of all, and your face will be lifted up to God.

bbe@Job:22:30 @He makes safe the man who is free from sin, and if your hands are clean, salvation will be yours.

bbe@Job:23:16 @For God has made my heart feeble, and my mind is troubled before the Ruler of all.

bbe@Job:24:1 @Why are times not stored up by the Ruler of all, and why do those who have knowledge of him not see his days?

bbe@Job:24:4 @The crushed are turned out of the way; all the poor of the earth go into a secret place together.

bbe@Job:24:6 @They get mixed grain from the field, and they take away the late fruit from the vines of those who have wealth.

bbe@Job:24:16 @In the dark he makes holes in the walls of houses: in the daytime they are shutting themselves up, they have no knowledge of the light.

bbe@Job:24:25 @And if it is not so, now, who will make it clear that my words are false, and that what I say is of no value?

bbe@Job:26:2 @How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!

bbe@Job:26:14 @See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.

bbe@Job:27:2 @By the life of God, who has taken away my right; and of the Ruler of all, who has made my soul bitter;

bbe@Job:27:3 @(For all my breath is still in me, and the spirit of God is my life;)

bbe@Job:27:4 @Truly, there is no deceit in my lips, and my tongue does not say what is false.

bbe@Job:27:10 @Will he take delight in the Ruler of all, and make his prayer to God at all times?

bbe@Job:27:11 @I will give you teaching about the hand of God; I will not keep secret from you what is in the mind of the Ruler of all.

bbe@Job:27:12 @Truly, you have all seen it yourselves; why then have you become completely foolish?

bbe@Job:27:13 @This is the punishment of the evil-doer from God, and the heritage given to the cruel by the Ruler of all

bbe@Job:27:19 @He goes to rest full of wealth, but does so for the last time: on opening his eyes, he sees it there no longer.

bbe@Job:28:10 @He makes deep ways, cut through the rock, and his eye sees everything of value.

bbe@Job:28:16 @It may not be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the onyx of great price, or the sapphire.

bbe@Job:28:17 @Gold and glass are not equal to it in price, and it may not be exchanged for jewels of the best gold.

bbe@Job:28:18 @There is no need to say anything about coral or crystal; and the value of wisdom is greater than that of pearls.

bbe@Job:28:19 @The topaz of Ethiopia is not equal to it, and it may not be valued with the best gold.

bbe@Job:28:21 @For it is kept secret from the eyes of all living, unseen by the birds of the air.

bbe@Job:29:5 @While the Ruler of all was still with me, and my children were round me;

bbe@Job:29:15 @I was eyes to the blind, and feet to him who had no power of walking.

bbe@Job:30:2 @Of what use is the strength of their hands to me? all force is gone from them.

bbe@Job:30:4 @They are pulling off the salt leaves from the brushwood, and making a meal of roots.

bbe@Job:30:6 @They have to get a resting-place in the hollows of the valleys, in holes of the earth and rocks.

bbe@Job:30:14 @As through a wide broken place in the wall they come on, I am overturned by the shock of their attack.

bbe@Job:30:23 @For I am certain that you will send me back to death, and to the meeting-place ordered for all living.

bbe@Job:30:29 @I have become a brother to the jackals, and go about in the company of ostriches.

bbe@Job:31:2 @For what is God's reward from on high, or the heritage given by the Ruler of all from heaven?

bbe@Job:31:4 @Does he not see my ways, and are not my steps all numbered?

bbe@Job:31:5 @If I have gone in false ways, or my foot has been quick in working deceit;

bbe@Job:31:6 @(Let me be measured in upright scales, and let God see my righteousness:)

bbe@Job:31:12 @It would be a fire burning even to destruction, and taking away all my produce.

bbe@Job:31:25 @If I was glad because my wealth was great, and because my hand had got together a great store;

bbe@Job:31:28 @That would have been another sin to be rewarded with punishment by the judges; for I would have been false to God on high.

bbe@Job:31:35 @If only God would give ear to me, and the Ruler of all would give me an answer! or if what he has against me had been put in writing!

bbe@Job:32:4 @Now Elihu had kept quiet while Job was talking, because they were older than he;

bbe@Job:32:8 @But truly it is the spirit in man, even the breath of the Ruler of all, which gives them knowledge.

bbe@Job:32:19 @My stomach is like wine which is unable to get out; like skins full of new wine, it is almost burst.

bbe@Job:33:1 @And now, O Job, give ear to my words, and take note of all I say.

bbe@Job:33:4 @The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Ruler of all gives me life.

bbe@Job:33:11 @He puts chains on my feet; he is watching all my ways.

bbe@Job:33:29 @Truly, God does all these things to man, twice and three times,

bbe@Job:34:8 @And goes in the company of evil-doers, walking in the way of sinners?

bbe@Job:34:10 @Now then, you wise, take note; you men of knowledge, give ear to me. Let it be far from God to do evil, and from the Ruler of all to do wrong.

bbe@Job:34:12 @Truly, God does not do evil, and the Ruler of all is not a false judge.

bbe@Job:34:15 @All flesh would come to an end together, and man would go back to the dust.

bbe@Job:34:17 @How may a hater of right be a ruler? and will you say that the upright Ruler of all is evil?

bbe@Job:34:19 @Who has no respect for rulers, and who gives no more attention to those who have wealth than to the poor, for they are all the work of his hands.

bbe@Job:34:20 @Suddenly they come to an end, even in the middle of the night: the blow comes on the men of wealth, and they are gone, and the strong are taken away without the hand of man.

bbe@Job:34:21 @For his eyes are on the ways of a man, and he sees all his steps.

bbe@Job:34:26 @The evil-doers are broken by his wrath, he puts his hand on them with force before the eyes of all onlookers.

bbe@Job:34:34 @Men of knowledge, and all wise men, hearing me, will say,

bbe@Job:35:13 @But God will not give ear to what is false, or the Ruler of all take note of it;

bbe@Job:36:4 @For truly my words are not false; one who has all knowledge is talking with you.

bbe@Job:36:15 @He makes the wrong done to the poor the way of their salvation, opening their ears by their trouble.

bbe@Job:36:25 @All people are looking on it; man sees it from far.

bbe@Job:36:26 @Truly, God is great, greater than all our knowledge; the number of his years may not be searched out.

bbe@Job:37:3 @He sends it out through all the heaven, and his thunder-flame to the ends of the earth.

bbe@Job:37:7 @He puts an end to the work of every man, so that all may see his work.

bbe@Job:37:16 @Have you knowledge of the balancings of the clouds, the wonders of him who has all wisdom?

bbe@Job:37:20 @How may he have knowledge of my desire for talk with him? or did any man ever say, May destruction come on me?

bbe@Job:37:23 @There is no searching out of the Ruler of all: his strength and his judging are great; he is full of righteousness, doing no wrong.

bbe@Job:38:7 @When the morning stars made songs together, and all the sons of the gods gave cries of joy?

bbe@Job:38:13 @So that it might take a grip of the skirts of the earth, shaking all the evil-doers out of it?

bbe@Job:38:16 @Have you come into the springs of the sea, walking in the secret places of the deep?

bbe@Job:38:18 @Have you taken note of the wide limits of the earth? Say, if you have knowledge of it all.

bbe@Job:38:38 @When the earth becomes hard as metal, and is joined together in masses?

bbe@Job:39:6 @To whom I have given the waste land for a heritage, and the salt land as a living-place.

bbe@Job:39:10 @Will he be pulling your plough with cords, turning up the valleys after you?

bbe@Job:39:21 @He is stamping with joy in the valley; he makes sport of fear.

bbe@Job:40:1 @Will he who is protesting give teaching to the Ruler of all? Let him who has arguments to put forward against God give an answer.

bbe@Job:40:3 @Truly, I am of no value; what answer may I give to you? I will put my hand on my mouth.

bbe@Job:40:7 @Will you even make my right of no value? will you say that I am wrong in order to make clear that you are right?

bbe@Job:40:10 @Let your wrath be overflowing; let your eyes see all the sons of pride, and make them low.

bbe@Job:40:11 @Send destruction on all who are lifted up, pulling down the sinners from their places.

bbe@Job:40:13 @Then I will give praise to you, saying that your right hand is able to give you salvation.

bbe@Job:40:19 @He takes the produce of the mountains, where all the beasts of the field are at play.

bbe@Job:40:23 @Will anyone take him when he is on the watch, or put metal teeth through his nose?

bbe@Job:41:9 @Truly, the hope of his attacker is false; he is overcome even on seeing him!

bbe@Job:41:21 @His breath puts fire to coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.

bbe@Job:41:34 @Everything which is high goes in fear of him; he is king over all the sons of pride.

bbe@Job:42:2 @I see that you are able to do every thing, and to give effect to all your designs.

bbe@Job:42:3 @Who is this who makes dark the purpose of God by words without knowledge? For I have been talking without knowledge about wonders not to be searched out.

bbe@Job:42:6 @For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.

bbe@Job:42:10 @And the Lord made up to Job for all his losses, after he had made prayer for his friends: and all Job had before was increased by the Lord twice as much.

bbe@Job:42:11 @And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and a gold ring.

bbe@Job:42:15 @And there were no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the earth: and their father gave them a heritage among their brothers.

bbe@Psalms:1:1 @Happy is the man who does not go in the company of sinners, or take his place in the way of evil-doers, or in the seat of those who do not give honour to the Lord.

bbe@Psalms:1:2 @But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and whose mind is on his law day and night.

bbe@Psalms:1:3 @He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.

bbe@Psalms:1:4 @The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.

bbe@Psalms:1:5 @For this cause there will be no mercy for sinners when they are judged, and the evil-doers will have no place among the upright,

bbe@Psalms:1:6 @Because the Lord sees the way of the upright, but the end of the sinner is destruction.

bbe@Psalms:2:1 @Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?

bbe@Psalms:2:2 @The kings of the earth have taken their place, and the rulers are fixed in their purpose, against the Lord, and against the king of his selection, saying,

bbe@Psalms:2:3 @Let their chains be broken, and their cords taken from off us.

bbe@Psalms:2:4 @Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them.

bbe@Psalms:2:5 @Then will his angry words come to their ears, and by his wrath they will be troubled:

bbe@Psalms:2:6 @But I have put my king on my holy hill of Zion.

bbe@Psalms:2:7 @I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.

bbe@Psalms:2:8 @Make your request to me, and I will give you the nations for your heritage, and the farthest limits of the earth will be under your hand.

bbe@Psalms:2:9 @They will be ruled by you with a rod of iron; they will be broken like a potter's vessel.

bbe@Psalms:2:10 @So now be wise, you kings: take his teaching, you judges of the earth.

bbe@Psalms:2:11 @Give worship to the Lord with fear, kissing his feet and giving him honour,

bbe@Psalms:2:12 @For fear that he may be angry, causing destruction to come on you, because he is quickly moved to wrath. Happy are all those who put their faith in him.

bbe@Psalms:78:4 @We will not keep them secret from our children; we will make clear to the coming generation the praises of the Lord and his strength, and the great works of wonder which he has done.

bbe@Psalms:78:5 @He put up a witness in Jacob, and made a law in Israel; which he gave to our fathers so that they might give knowledge of them to their children;

bbe@Psalms:78:6 @So that the generation to come might have knowledge of them, even the children of the future, who would give word of them to their children;

bbe@Psalms:78:7 @So that they might put their hope in God, and not let God's works go out of their minds, but keep his laws;

bbe@Psalms:78:8 @And not be like their fathers, a stiff-necked and uncontrolled generation; a generation whose heart was hard, whose spirit was not true to God.

bbe@Psalms:78:9 @The children of Ephraim, armed with bows, were turned back on the day of the fight.

bbe@Psalms:78:10 @They were not ruled by God's word, and they would not go in the way of his law;

bbe@Psalms:78:11 @They let his works go out of their memory, and the wonders which he had made them see.

bbe@Psalms:78:12 @He did great works before the eyes of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the fields of Zoan.

bbe@Psalms:78:13 @The sea was cut in two so that they might go through; the waters were massed together on this side and on that.

bbe@Psalms:78:14 @In the daytime he was guiding them in the cloud, and all through the night with a light of fire.

bbe@Psalms:78:15 @The rocks of the waste land were broken by his power, and he gave them drink as out of the deep waters.

bbe@Psalms:78:16 @He made streams come out of the rock; and waters came flowing down like rivers.

bbe@Psalms:78:17 @And they went on sinning against him even more, turning away from the Most High in the waste land;

bbe@Psalms:78:18 @Testing God in their hearts, requesting meat for their desire.

bbe@Psalms:78:19 @They said bitter words against God, saying, Is God able to make ready a table in the waste land?

bbe@Psalms:78:20 @See, the rock was cut open by his power, so that the water came rushing out, and overflowing streams; is he able to give us bread? is he able to get meat for his people?

bbe@Psalms:78:21 @So these things came to the Lord's ears, and he was angry; and a fire was lighted against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel;

bbe@Psalms:78:22 @Because they had no faith in God, and no hope in his salvation.

bbe@Psalms:78:23 @And he gave orders to the clouds on high, and the doors of heaven were open;

bbe@Psalms:78:24 @And he sent down manna like rain for their food, and gave them the grain of heaven.

bbe@Psalms:78:25 @Man took part in the food of strong ones; he sent them meat in full measure.

bbe@Psalms:78:26 @He sent an east wind from heaven, driving on the south wind by his power.

bbe@Psalms:78:27 @He sent down meat on them like dust, and feathered birds like the sand of the sea,

bbe@Psalms:78:28 @And he let it come down into their resting-place, round about their tents.

bbe@Psalms:78:29 @So they had food and were full; for he gave them their desire;

bbe@Psalms:78:30 @But they were not turned from their desires; and while the food was still in their mouths,

bbe@Psalms:78:31 @The wrath of God came on them, and put to death the fattest of them, and put an end to the young men of Israel.

bbe@Psalms:78:32 @For all this they went on sinning even more, and had no faith in his great wonders.

bbe@Psalms:78:33 @So their days were wasted like a breath, and their years in trouble.

bbe@Psalms:78:34 @When he sent death on them, then they made search for him; turning to him and looking for him with care;

bbe@Psalms:78:35 @In the memory that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their saviour.

bbe@Psalms:78:36 @But their lips were false to him, and their tongues were untrue to him;

bbe@Psalms:78:37 @And their hearts were not right with him, and they did not keep their agreement with him.

bbe@Psalms:78:38 @But he, being full of pity, has forgiveness for sin, and does not put an end to man: frequently turning back his wrath, and not being violently angry.

bbe@Psalms:78:39 @So he kept in mind that they were only flesh; a breath which is quickly gone, and will not come again.

bbe@Psalms:78:40 @How frequently did they go against him in the waste land, and give him cause for grief in the dry places!

bbe@Psalms:78:41 @Again they put God to the test, and gave pain to the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@Psalms:78:42 @They did not keep in mind the work of his hand, or the day when he took them from the power of their haters;

bbe@Psalms:78:43 @How he had done his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Zoan;

bbe@Psalms:78:44 @So that their rivers were turned to blood, and they were not able to get drink from their streams.

bbe@Psalms:78:45 @He sent different sorts of flies among them, poisoning their flesh; and frogs for their destruction.

bbe@Psalms:78:46 @He gave the increase of their fields to worms, the fruits of their industry to the locusts.

bbe@Psalms:78:47 @He sent ice for the destruction of their vines; their trees were damaged by the bitter cold.

bbe@Psalms:78:48 @Ice was rained down on their cattle; thunderstorms sent destruction among the flocks.

bbe@Psalms:78:49 @He sent on them the heat of his wrath, his bitter disgust, letting loose evil angels among them.

bbe@Psalms:78:50 @He let his wrath have its way; he did not keep back their soul from death, but gave their life to disease.

bbe@Psalms:78:51 @He gave to destruction all the first sons of Egypt; the first-fruits of their strength in the tents of Ham;

bbe@Psalms:78:52 @But he took his people out like sheep, guiding them in the waste land like a flock.

bbe@Psalms:78:53 @He took them on safely so that they had no fear; but their haters were covered by the sea.

bbe@Psalms:78:54 @And he was their guide to his holy land, even to the mountain, which his right hand had made his;

bbe@Psalms:78:55 @Driving out nations before them, marking out the line of their heritage, and giving the people of Israel their tents for a resting-place.

bbe@Psalms:78:56 @But they were bitter against the Most High God, testing him, and not keeping his laws;

bbe@Psalms:78:57 @Their hearts were turned back and untrue like their fathers; they were turned to one side like a twisted bow.

bbe@Psalms:78:58 @They made him angry with their high places; moving him to wrath with their images.

bbe@Psalms:78:59 @When this came to God's ears he was very angry, and gave up Israel completely;

bbe@Psalms:78:60 @So that he went away from the holy place in Shiloh, the tent which he had put among men;

bbe@Psalms:78:61 @And he let his strength be taken prisoner, and gave his glory into the hands of his hater.

bbe@Psalms:78:62 @He gave his people up to the sword, and was angry with his heritage.

bbe@Psalms:78:63 @Their young men were burned in the fire; and their virgins were not praised in the bride-song.

bbe@Psalms:78:64 @Their priests were put to death by the sword, and their widows made no weeping for them.

bbe@Psalms:78:65 @Then was the Lord like one awaking from sleep, and like a strong man crying out because of wine.

bbe@Psalms:78:66 @His haters were turned back by his blows and shamed for ever.

bbe@Psalms:78:67 @And he put the tent of Joseph on one side, and took not the tribe of Ephraim;

bbe@Psalms:78:68 @But he took the tribe of Judah for himself, and the mountain of Zion, in which he had pleasure.

bbe@Psalms:78:69 @And he made his holy place like the high heaven, like the earth which is fixed by him for ever.

bbe@Psalms:78:70 @He took David to be his servant, taking him from the place of the flocks;

bbe@Psalms:78:71 @From looking after the sheep which were giving milk, he took him to give food to Jacob his people, and to Israel his heritage.

bbe@Psalms:106:6 @We are sinners like our fathers, we have done wrong, our acts are evil.

bbe@Psalms:106:7 @Our fathers did not give thought to your wonders in Egypt; they did not keep in memory the great number of your mercies, but gave you cause for wrath at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

bbe@Psalms:106:8 @But he was their saviour because of his name, so that men might see his great power.

bbe@Psalms:106:9 @By his word the Red Sea was made dry: and he took them through the deep waters as through the waste land.

bbe@Psalms:106:10 @And he took them safely out of the hands of their haters, and kept them from the attacks of those who were against them.

bbe@Psalms:106:11 @And the waters went over their haters; all of them came to an end.

bbe@Psalms:106:12 @Then they had faith in his words; they gave him songs of praise.

bbe@Psalms:106:13 @But their memory of his works was short; not waiting to be guided by him,

bbe@Psalms:106:14 @They gave way to their evil desires in the waste land, and put God to the test in the dry places.

bbe@Psalms:106:15 @And he gave them their request, but sent a wasting disease into their souls.

bbe@Psalms:106:16 @They were full of envy against Moses among the tents, and against Aaron, the holy one of the Lord.

bbe@Psalms:106:17 @The earth opening put an end to Dathan, covering up Abiram and his band.

bbe@Psalms:106:18 @And a fire was lighted among their tents; the sinners were burned up by the flames.

bbe@Psalms:106:19 @They made a young ox in Horeb, and gave worship to an image of gold.

bbe@Psalms:106:20 @And their glory was changed into the image of an ox, whose food is grass.

bbe@Psalms:106:21 @They had no memory of God their saviour, who had done great things in Egypt;

bbe@Psalms:106:22 @Works of wonder in the land of Ham, and things of fear by the Red Sea.

bbe@Psalms:106:23 @And he was purposing to put an end to them if Moses, his special servant, had not gone up before him, between him and his people, turning back his wrath, to keep them from destruction.

bbe@Psalms:106:24 @They were disgusted with the good land; they had no belief in his word;

bbe@Psalms:106:25 @Talking against him secretly in their tents, they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord.

bbe@Psalms:106:26 @So he made an oath against them, to put an end to them in the waste land:

bbe@Psalms:106:27 @That their children might be mixed among the nations, and sent away into other lands.

bbe@Psalms:106:28 @And they were joined to Baal-peor, and took part in the offerings to the dead.

bbe@Psalms:106:29 @So they made him angry by their behaviour; and he sent disease on them.

bbe@Psalms:106:30 @Then Phinehas got up, and made prayer for them; and the disease went no farther.

bbe@Psalms:106:31 @And all the generations coming after him kept the memory of his righteousness for ever.

bbe@Psalms:106:32 @They made God angry again at the waters of Meribah, so that Moses was troubled because of them;

bbe@Psalms:106:33 @For they made his spirit bitter, and he said unwise things.

bbe@Psalms:106:34 @They did not put an end to the peoples, as the Lord had said;

bbe@Psalms:106:35 @But they were joined to the nations, learning their works.

bbe@Psalms:106:36 @And they gave worship to images; which were a danger to them:

bbe@Psalms:106:37 @They even made offerings of their sons and their daughters to evil spirits,

bbe@Psalms:106:38 @And gave the blood of their sons and their daughters who had done no wrong, offering them to the images of Canaan; and the land was made unclean with blood.

bbe@Psalms:106:39 @So they became unclean through their works, going after their evil desires.

bbe@Psalms:106:40 @Then the wrath of the Lord was burning against his people, and he was angry with his heritage.

bbe@Psalms:106:41 @And he gave them into the hands of the nations; and they were ruled by their haters.

bbe@Psalms:106:42 @By them they were crushed, and made low under their hands.

bbe@Psalms:106:43 @Again and again he made them free; but their hearts were turned against his purpose, and they were overcome by their sins.

bbe@Psalms:106:44 @But when their cry came to his ears, he had pity on their trouble:

bbe@Psalms:106:45 @And kept in mind his agreement with them, and in his great mercy gave them forgiveness.

bbe@Psalms:106:46 @He put pity into the hearts of those who made them prisoners.

bbe@Psalms:106:47 @Be our saviour, O Lord our God, and let us come back together from among the nations, so that we may give honour to your holy name, and have glory in your praise.

bbe@Psalms:106:48 @Praise be to the Lord God of Israel for ever and for ever; and let all the people say, So be it. Give praise to the Lord.

bbe@Psalms:107:1 @O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

bbe@Psalms:107:2 @Let those whose cause the Lord has taken up say so, his people whom he has taken out of the hands of their haters;

bbe@Psalms:107:3 @Making them come together out of all the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.

bbe@Psalms:107:4 @They were wandering in the waste places; they saw no way to a resting-place.

bbe@Psalms:107:5 @Their souls became feeble for need of food and drink.

bbe@Psalms:107:6 @Then they sent up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gave them salvation out of all their troubles;

bbe@Psalms:107:7 @Guiding them in the right way, so that they might come into the town of their resting-place.

bbe@Psalms:107:8 @Let men give praise to the Lord for his mercy, and for the wonders which he does for the children of men!

bbe@Psalms:107:9 @He gives its desire to the unresting soul, so that it is full of good things.

bbe@Psalms:107:10 @Those who were in the dark, in the black night, in chains of sorrow and iron;

bbe@Psalms:107:11 @Because they went against the words of God, and gave no thought to the laws of the Most High:

bbe@Psalms:107:12 @So that he made their hearts weighted down with grief; they were falling, and had no helper.

bbe@Psalms:107:13 @Then they sent up their cry to the Lord in their sorrow, and he gave them salvation out of all their troubles.

bbe@Psalms:107:14 @He took them out of the dark and the black night, and all their chains were broken.

bbe@Psalms:107:35 @He makes a waste land into a place of water, and a dry land into water-springs.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:1:2 @All is to no purpose, said the Preacher, all the ways of man are to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:1:3 @What is a man profited by all his work which he does under the sun?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:1:7 @All the rivers go down to the sea, but the sea is not full; to the place where the rivers go, there they go again.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:1:8 @All things are full of weariness; man may not give their story: the eye has never enough of its seeing, or the ear of its hearing.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:1:12 @I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:1:13 @And I gave my heart to searching out in wisdom all things which are done under heaven: it is a hard thing which God has put on the sons of men to do.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:1:14 @I have seen all the works which are done under the sun; all is to no purpose, and desire for wind.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:1:16 @I said to my heart, See, I have become great and am increased in wisdom more than any who were before me in Jerusalem--yes, my heart has seen much wisdom and knowledge.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @I made a search with my heart to give pleasure to my flesh with wine, still guiding my heart with wisdom, and to go after foolish things, so that I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under the heavens all the days of their life.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:5 @I made myself gardens and fruit gardens, planting in them fruit-trees of all sorts.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:7 @I got men-servants and women-servants, and they gave birth to sons and daughters in my house. I had great wealth of herds and flocks, more than all who were in Jerusalem before me.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:8 @I got together silver and gold and the wealth of kings and of countries. I got makers of song, male and female; and the delights of the sons of men--girls of all sorts to be my brides.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:9 @And I became great; increasing more than all who had been before me in Jerusalem, and my wisdom was still with me.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:10 @And nothing which was desired by my eyes did I keep from them; I did not keep any joy from my heart, because my heart took pleasure in all my work, and this was my reward.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:11 @Then I saw all the works which my hands had made, and everything I had been working to do; and I saw that all was to no purpose and desire for wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:14 @The wise man's eyes are in his head, but the foolish man goes walking in the dark; but still I saw that the same event comes to them all.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @So I was hating life, because everything under the sun was evil to me: all is to no purpose and desire for wind.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:18 @Hate had I for all my work which I had done, because the man who comes after me will have its fruits.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:19 @And who is to say if that man will be wise or foolish? But he will have power over all my work which I have done and in which I have been wise under the sun. This again is to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:20 @So my mind was turned to grief for all the trouble I had taken and all my wisdom under the sun.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:22 @What does a man get for all his work, and for the weight of care with which he has done his work under the sun?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:23 @All his days are sorrow, and his work is full of grief. Even in the night his heart has no rest. This again is to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:26 @To the man with whom he is pleased, God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy; but to the sinner he gives the work of getting goods together and storing up wealth, to give to him in whom God has pleasure. This again is to no purpose and desire for wind.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:7 @A time for undoing and a time for stitching; a time for keeping quiet and a time for talk;

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:13 @And for every man to take food and drink, and have joy in all his work, is a reward from God.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:19 @Because the fate of the sons of men and the fate of the beasts is the same. As is the death of one so is the death of the other, and all have one spirit. Man is not higher than the beasts; because all is to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:20 @All go to one place, all are of the dust, and all will be turned to dust again.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:1 @And again I saw all the cruel things which are done under the sun; there was the weeping of those who have evil done to them, and they had no comforter: and from the hands of the evil-doers there went out power, but they had no comforter.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:4 @And I saw that the cause of all the work and of everything which is done well was man's envy of his neighbour. This again is to no purpose and a desire for wind.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @It is one who is by himself, without a second, and without son or brother; but there is no end to all his work, and he has never enough of wealth. For whom, then, am I working and keeping myself from pleasure? This again is to no purpose, and a bitter work.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:10 @And if one has a fall, the other will give him a hand; but unhappy is the man who is by himself, because he has no helper

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:15 @I saw all the living under the sun round the young man who was to be ruler in place of the king.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:16 @There was no end of all the people, of all those whose head he was, but they who come later will have no delight in him. This again is to no purpose and desire for wind.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:7 @Because much talk comes from dreams and things of no purpose. But let the fear of God be in you.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:9 @It is good generally for a country where the land is worked to have a king.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:10 @He who has a love for silver never has enough silver, or he who has love for wealth, enough profit. This again is to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:13 @There is a great evil which I have seen under the sun--wealth kept by the owner to be his downfall.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:14 @And I saw the destruction of his wealth by an evil chance; and when he became the father of a son he had nothing in his hand.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:16 @And this again is a great evil, that in all points as he came so will he go; and what profit has he in working for the wind?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:17 @All his days are in the dark, and he has much sorrow, pain, disease, and trouble.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:18 @This is what I have seen: it is good and fair for a man to take meat and drink and to have joy in all his work under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; that is his reward.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:19 @Every man to whom God has given money and wealth and the power to have pleasure in it and to do his part and have joy in his work: this is given by God.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:6:2 @A man to whom God gives money, wealth, and honour so that he has all his desires but God does not give him the power to have joy of it, and a strange man takes it. This is to no purpose and an evil disease.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:6:7 @All the work of man is for his mouth, and still he has a desire for food.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:6:8 @What have the wise more than the foolish? and what has the poor man by walking wisely before the living?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:6:12 @Who is able to say what is good for man in life all the days of his foolish life which he goes through like a shade? who will say what is to be after him under the sun?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:12 @Wisdom keeps a man from danger even as money does; but the value of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to its owner.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:14 @In the day of wealth have joy, but in the day of evil take thought: God has put the one against the other, so that man may not be certain what will be after him.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:20 @There is no man on earth of such righteousness that he does good and is free from sin all his days.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:21 @Do not give ear to all the words which men say, for fear of hearing the curses of your servant.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:23 @All this I have put to the test by wisdom; I said, I will be wise, but it was far from me.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:28 @For which my soul is still searching, but I have it not; one man among a thousand have I seen; but a woman among all these I have not seen.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:29 @This only have I seen, that God made men upright, but they have been searching out all sorts of inventions.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:9 @All this have I seen, and have given my heart to all the work which is done under the sun: there is a time when man has power over man for his destruction.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @So I gave praise to joy, because there is nothing better for a man to do under the sun than to take meat and drink and be happy; for that will be with him in his work all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:17 @Then I saw all the work of God, and that man may not get knowledge of the work which is done under the sun; because, if a man gives hard work to the search he will not get knowledge, and even if the wise man seems to be coming to the end of his search, still he will be without knowledge.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:1 @All this I took to heart, and my heart saw it all: that the upright and the wise and their works are in the hand of God; and men may not be certain if it will be love or hate; all is to no purpose before them.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @Because to all there is one event, to the upright man and to the evil, to the clean and to the unclean, to him who makes an offering and to him who makes no offering; as is the good so is the sinner; he who takes an oath is as he who has fear of it.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:3 @This is evil in all things which are done under the sun: that there is one fate for all, and the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; while they have life their hearts are foolish, and after that--to the dead.

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

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:8 @Let your clothing be white at all times, and let not your head be without oil.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:9 @Have joy with the woman of your love all the days of your foolish life which he gives you under the sun. Because that is your part in life and in your work which you do under the sun.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:10 @Whatever comes to your hand to do with all your power, do it because there is no work, or thought, or knowledge, or wisdom in the place of the dead to which you are going.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @And again I saw under the sun that the reward goes not to him who is quick, or the fruits of war to the strong; and there is no bread for the wise, or wealth for men of learning, or respect for those who have knowledge; but time and chance come to all.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:14 @There was a little town and the number of its men was small, and there came a great king against it and made an attack on it, building works of war round about it.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @Dead flies make the oil of the perfumer give out an evil smell; more valued is a little wisdom than the great glory of the foolish.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:3 @And when the foolish man is walking in the way, he has no sense and lets everyone see that he is foolish.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:6 @The foolish are placed in high positions, but men of wealth are kept low.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:7 @I have seen servants on horses, and rulers walking on the earth as servants.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:8 @He who makes a hole for others will himself go into it, and for him who makes a hole through a wall the bite of a snake will be a punishment.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:12 @The words of a wise man's mouth are sweet to all, but the lips of a foolish man are his destruction.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:13 @The first words of his mouth are foolish, and the end of his talk is evil crime.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:20 @Say not a curse against the king, even in your thoughts; and even secretly say not a curse against the man of wealth; because a bird of the air will take the voice, and that which has wings will give news of it.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:11:5 @As you have no knowledge of the way of the wind, or of the growth of the bones in the body of her who is with child, even so you have no knowledge of the works of God who has made all.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:11:6 @In the morning put your seed into the earth, and till the evening let not your hand be at rest; because you are not certain which will do well, this or that--or if the two will be equally good.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:11:8 @But even if a man's life is long and he has joy in all his years, let him keep in mind the dark days, because they will be great in number. Whatever may come is to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:11:9 @Have joy, O young man, while you are young; and let your heart be glad in the days of your strength, and go in the ways of your heart, and in the desire of your eyes; but be certain that for all these things God will be your judge.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:12:3 @In the day when the keepers of the house are shaking for fear, and the strong men are bent down, and the women who were crushing the grain are at rest because their number is small, and those looking out of the windows are unable to see;

bbe@Isaiah:3:8 @For Jerusalem has become feeble, and destruction has come on Judah, because their words and their acts are against the Lord, moving the eyes of his glory to wrath.

bbe@Isaiah:3:9 @Their respect for a man's position is a witness against them; and their sin is open to the view of all; like that of Sodom, it is not covered. A curse on their soul! for the measure of their sin is full.

bbe@Isaiah:4:3 @And it will come about that the rest of the living in Zion, and of those who have been kept from destruction in Jerusalem, will be named holy, even everyone who has been recorded for life in Jerusalem:

bbe@Isaiah:4:4 @When Zion has been washed from her sin by the Lord, and Jerusalem made clean from her blood by a judging and a burning wind.

bbe@Isaiah:4:5 @And over every living-place on Mount Zion, all over all her meetings, the Lord will make a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night, for over all, the glory of the Lord will be a cover and a tent;

bbe@Isaiah:5:2 @And after working the earth of it with a spade, he took away its stones, and put in it a very special vine; and he put up a watchtower in the middle of it, hollowing out in the rock a place for the grape-crushing; and he was hoping that it would give the best grapes, but it gave common grapes.

bbe@Isaiah:5:3 @And now, you people of Jerusalem and you men of Judah, be the judges between me and my vine-garden.

bbe@Isaiah:5:5 @And now, this is what I will do to my vine-garden: I will take away the circle of thorns round it, and it will be burned up; its wall will be broken down and the beasts of the field will go through it;

bbe@Isaiah:5:8 @Cursed are those who are joining house to house, and putting field to field, till there is no more living-space for any but themselves in all the land!

bbe@Isaiah:5:10 @For ten fields of vines will only give one measure of wine, and a great amount of seed will only give a small measure of grain.

bbe@Isaiah:5:30 @And his voice will be loud over him in that day like the sounding of the sea: and if a man's eyes are turned to the earth, it is all dark and full of trouble; and the light is made dark by thick clouds.

bbe@Isaiah:6:3 @And one said in a loud voice to another, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of armies: all the earth is full of his glory.

bbe@Isaiah:6:6 @Then a winged one came to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from off the altar with the fire-spoon.

bbe@Isaiah:7:1 @Now it came about in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin, the king of Aram, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but were not able to overcome it.

bbe@Isaiah:7:4 @And say to him, Take care and be quiet; have no fear, and do not let your heart be feeble, because of these two ends of smoking fire-wood, because of the bitter wrath of Rezin and Aram, and of the son of Remaliah.

bbe@Isaiah:7:9 @And the head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is Remaliah's son. If you will not have faith, your kingdom will be broken.

bbe@Isaiah:7:19 @And they will come, covering all the waste valleys, and the holes of the rocks, and the thorns, and all the watering-places.

bbe@Isaiah:7:22 @And they will give so much milk that he will be able to have butter for his food: for butter and honey will be the food of all who are still living in the land.

bbe@Isaiah:7:23 @And it will be in that day that in every place where before there were a thousand vines valued at a thousand shekels of silver, there will be nothing but blackberries and thorns.

bbe@Isaiah:7:24 @Men will come there with bows and arrows, because all the land will be full of blackberries and thorns.

bbe@Isaiah:7:25 @And they will send out the oxen and the sheep on all the hills which before were worked with the spade,... fear of blackberries and thorns.

bbe@Isaiah:8:1 @And the Lord said to me, Take a great writing-board, and on it put down in common letters, Maher-shalal-hash-baz;

bbe@Isaiah:8:3 @And I went in to my wife, and she became with child, and gave birth to a son. Then the Lord said to me, Give him the name Maher-shalal-hash-baz,

bbe@Isaiah:8:4 @For before the child is able to say, Father, or, Mother, the wealth of Damascus and the goods of Samaria will be taken away by the king of Assyria.

bbe@Isaiah:8:6 @Because this people will have nothing to do with the softly-flowing waters of Shiloah, and have fear of Rezin and Remaliah's son;

bbe@Isaiah:8:7 @For this cause the Lord is sending on them the waters of the River, deep and strong, even the king of Assyria and all his glory: and it will come up through all its streams, overflowing all its edges:

bbe@Isaiah:8:9 @Have knowledge, O peoples, and be in fear; give ear, all you far-off parts of the earth:

bbe@Isaiah:8:14 @And he will be for a holy place: but for a stone of falling and a rock of trouble to the two houses of Israel, and to the men of Jerusalem, for a net in which they may be taken.

bbe@Isaiah:8:15 @And numbers of them, falling on the stone, will be broken, and will be taken in the net.

bbe@Isaiah:9:1 @In earlier times he made the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali of small value, but after that he gave it glory, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

bbe@Isaiah:9:9 @And all the people will have experience of it, even Ephraim and the men of Samaria, who say in the pride of their uplifted hearts,

bbe@Isaiah:9:12 @Aram on the east, and the Philistines on the west, who have come against Israel with open mouths. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

bbe@Isaiah:9:15 @The man who is honoured and responsible is the head, and the prophet who gives false teaching is the tail.

bbe@Isaiah:9:17 @For this cause the Lord will have no pleasure in their young men, and no pity on their widows and the children without fathers: for they are all haters of God and evil-doers, and foolish words come from every mouth. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

bbe@Isaiah:9:20 @On the right a man was cutting off bits and was still in need; on the left a man took a meal but had not enough; no man had pity on his brother; every man was making a meal of the flesh of his neighbour

bbe@Isaiah:9:21 @Manasseh was making a meal of Ephraim, and Ephraim of Manasseh; and together they were attacking Judah. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

bbe@Isaiah:10:4 @... For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

bbe@Isaiah:10:6 @I will send him against a nation of wrongdoers, and against the people of my wrath I will give him orders, to take their wealth in war, crushing them down like the dust in the streets.

bbe@Isaiah:10:8 @For he says, Are not all my captains kings?

bbe@Isaiah:10:9 @Will not the fate of Calno be like that of Carchemish? is not Hamath as Arpad? is not Samaria as Damascus?

bbe@Isaiah:10:10 @As my hand has come on the kingdoms of the images, whose pictured images were more in number than those of Jerusalem and Samaria;

bbe@Isaiah:10:11 @So, as I have done to Samaria and her images, I will do to Jerusalem and her images.

bbe@Isaiah:10:12 @For this cause it will be that, when the purpose of the Lord against Mount Zion and Jerusalem is complete, I will send punishment on the pride of the heart of the king of Assyria, and on the glory of his uplifted eyes.

bbe@Isaiah:10:13 @For he has said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my knowledge, for I am wise: and I have taken away the limits of the peoples' lands, and the stores of their wealth have become mine; and I have made towns low in the dust, sending destruction on those living in them;

bbe@Isaiah:10:14 @And I have put my hands on the wealth of the peoples, as on the place where a bird has put her eggs; and as a man may take the eggs from which a bird has gone, so I have taken all the earth for myself: and not a wing was moved, and not a mouth gave out a sound.

bbe@Isaiah:10:19 @And the rest of the trees of his wood will be small in number, so that a child may put them down in writing.

bbe@Isaiah:10:22 @For though your people, O Israel, are as the sand of the sea, only a small number will come back: for the destruction is fixed, overflowing in righteousness.

bbe@Isaiah:10:23 @For the Lord, the Lord of armies, is about to make destruction complete in all the land.

bbe@Isaiah:10:30 @Give a loud cry, daughter of Gallim; let Laishah give ear; let Anathoth give answer to her.

bbe@Isaiah:10:32 @This very day he is stopping at Nob; he is shaking his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.

bbe@Isaiah:10:33 @See, the Lord, the Lord of armies, is cutting off his branches with a great noise, and his strong ones are falling and his high ones are coming down.

bbe@Isaiah:10:34 @And he is cutting down the thick places of the wood with an axe, and Lebanon with its tall trees is coming down.

bbe@Isaiah:11:9 @There will be no cause of pain or destruction in all my holy mountain: for the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the sea is covered by the waters.

bbe@Isaiah:12:2 @See, God is my salvation; I will have faith in the Lord, without fear: for the Lord Jah is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.

bbe@Isaiah:12:3 @So with joy will you get water out of the springs of salvation.

bbe@Isaiah:12:5 @Make a song to the Lord; for he has done noble things: give news of them through all the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:13:5 @They come from a far country, from the farthest part of heaven, even the Lord and the instruments of his wrath, with destruction for all the land.

bbe@Isaiah:13:7 @For this cause all hands will be feeble, and every heart of man be turned to water;

bbe@Isaiah:13:11 @And I will send punishment on the world for its evil, and on the sinners for their wrongdoing; and I will put an end to all pride, and will make low the power of the cruel.

bbe@Isaiah:13:12 @I will make men so small in number, that a man will be harder to get than gold, even the best gold of Ophir.

bbe@Isaiah:13:17 @See, I am driving the Medes against them, who put no value on silver and have no pleasure in gold.

bbe@Isaiah:13:19 @And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beautiful town which is the pride of the Chaldaeans, will be like God's destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.

bbe@Isaiah:13:21 @But the beasts of the waste land will have their holes there; and the houses will be full of crying jackals, and ostriches will have their place there, and evil spirits will be dancing there.

bbe@Isaiah:13:22 @And wolves will be answering one another in their towers, and jackals in their houses of pleasure: her time is near, and her days of power will quickly be ended.

bbe@Isaiah:14:1 @For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will again make Israel his special people, and will put them in their land; and the man from a strange country will take his place among them and be joined to the family of Jacob.

bbe@Isaiah:14:7 @All the earth is at rest and is quiet: they are bursting into song.

bbe@Isaiah:14:8 @Even the trees of the wood are glad over you, the trees of Lebanon, saying, From the time of your fall no wood-cutter has come up against us with an axe.

bbe@Isaiah:14:9 @The underworld is moved at your coming: the shades of the dead are awake before you, even the strong ones of the earth; all the kings of the world have got up from their seats.

bbe@Isaiah:14:10 @They all make answer and say to you, Have you become feeble like us? have you been made even as we are?

bbe@Isaiah:14:12 @How great is your fall from heaven, O shining one, son of the morning! How are you cut down to the earth, low among the dead bodies!

bbe@Isaiah:14:18 @All the kings of the earth are at rest in glory, every man in his house,

bbe@Isaiah:14:26 @This is the purpose for all the earth: and this is the hand stretched out over all nations.

bbe@Isaiah:14:29 @Be not glad, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod which was on you is broken: for out of the snake's root will come a poison-snake, and its fruit will be a winged poison-snake.

bbe@Isaiah:14:31 @Send out a cry, O door! Make sounds of sorrow, O town! All your land has come to nothing, O Philistia; for there comes a smoke out of the north, and everyone keeps his place in the line.

bbe@Isaiah:15:4 @Heshbon is crying out, and Elealeh; their voice is sounding even to Jahaz: for this cause the heart of Moab is shaking; his soul is shaking with fear.

bbe@Isaiah:15:7 @For this cause they will take away their wealth, and the stores they have got together, over the stream of the water-plants.

bbe@Isaiah:16:6 @We have had word of the pride of Moab, how great it is; how he is lifted up in pride and passion: his high words about himself are false.

bbe@Isaiah:16:9 @For this cause my sorrow for the vine of Sibmah will be like the weeping for Jazer: my eyes are dropping water on you, O Heshbon and Elealeh! For they are sounding the war-cry over your summer fruits and the getting in of your grain;

bbe@Isaiah:16:10 @And all joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field; and in the vine-gardens there are no songs or sounds of joy: the crushing of grapes has come to an end, and its glad cry has been stopped.

bbe@Isaiah:16:14 @But now the Lord has said, In three years, the years of a servant working for payment, the glory of Moab, all that great people, will be turned to shame, and the rest of Moab will be very small and without honour.

bbe@Isaiah:17:4 @And it will be in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made small, and the strength of his body will become feeble.

bbe@Isaiah:17:5 @And it will be like a man cutting the growth of his grain, pulling together the heads of the grain with his arm; even as when they get in the grain in the valley of Rephaim.

bbe@Isaiah:17:8 @He will not be looking to the altars, the work of his hands, or to the wood pillars or to the sun-images which his fingers have made.

bbe@Isaiah:17:10 @For you have not given honour to the God of your salvation, and have not kept in mind the Rock of your strength; for this cause you made a garden of Adonis, and put in it the vine-cuttings of a strange god;

bbe@Isaiah:18:2 @Which sends its representatives by the sea, even in ships of papyrus on the waters. Go back quickly, O representatives, to a nation tall and smooth, to a people causing fear through all their history; a strong nation, crushing down its haters, whose land is cut through by rivers.

bbe@Isaiah:18:3 @All you peoples of the world, and you who are living on the earth, when a flag is lifted up on the mountains, give attention; and when the horn is sounded, give ear.

bbe@Isaiah:18:5 @For before the time of getting in the grapes, after the opening of the bud, when the flower has become a grape ready for crushing, he will take away the small branches with knives, cutting down and taking away the wide-stretching branches.

bbe@Isaiah:18:7 @In that time an offering will be made to the Lord of armies from a people tall and smooth, causing fear through all their history; a strong nation, crushing down its haters, whose land is cut through by rivers, an offering taken to the place of the name of the Lord of armies, even Mount Zion.

bbe@Isaiah:19:1 @The word about Egypt. See, the Lord is seated on a quick-moving cloud, and is coming to Egypt: and the false gods of Egypt will be troubled at his coming, and the heart of Egypt will be turned to water.

bbe@Isaiah:19:3 @And the spirit of Egypt will be troubled in her, and I will make her decisions without effect: and they will be turning to the false gods, and to those who make hollow sounds, and to those who have control of spirits, and to those who are wise in secret arts.

bbe@Isaiah:19:6 @And the rivers will have an evil smell; the stream of Egypt will become small and dry: all the water-plants will come to nothing.

bbe@Isaiah:19:8 @The fishermen will be sad, and all those who put fishing-lines into the Nile will be full of grief, and those whose nets are stretched out on the waters will have sorrow in their hearts.

bbe@Isaiah:19:9 @And all the workers in linen thread, and those who make cotton cloth, will be put to shame.

bbe@Isaiah:19:14 @The Lord has sent among them a spirit of error: and by them Egypt is turned out of the right way in all her doings, as a man overcome by wine is uncertain in his steps.

bbe@Isaiah:19:19 @In that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the middle of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at the edge of the land.

bbe@Isaiah:19:21 @And the Lord will give the knowledge of himself to Egypt, and the Egyptians will give honour to the Lord in that day; they will give him worship with offerings and meal offerings, and will take an oath to the Lord and give effect to it.

bbe@Isaiah:20:2 @At that time the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and take off your robe, and your shoes from your feet; and he did so, walking unclothed and without shoes on his feet.

bbe@Isaiah:20:6 @And those living by the sea will say in that day, See the fate of our hope to whom we went for help and salvation from the king of Assyria: what hope have we then of salvation?

bbe@Isaiah:21:2 @A vision of fear comes before my eyes; the worker of deceit goes on in his false way, and the waster goes on making waste. Up! Elam; to the attack! Media; I have put an end to her sorrow.

bbe@Isaiah:21:7 @And when he sees war-carriages, horsemen by twos, war-carriages with asses, war-carriages with camels, let him give special attention.

bbe@Isaiah:21:8 @And the watchman gave a loud cry, O my lord, I am on the watchtower all day, and am placed in my watch every night:

bbe@Isaiah:21:9 @See, here come war-carriages with men, horsemen by twos: and in answer he said, Babylon is made low, is made low, and all her images are broken on the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:21:16 @For so has the Lord said to me, In a year, by the years of a servant working for payment, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end:

bbe@Isaiah:21:17 @And the rest of the bowmen, the men of war of the children of Kedar, will be small in number: for the Lord, the God of Israel, has said it.

bbe@Isaiah:22:1 @The word about the valley of vision. Why have all your people gone up to the house-tops?

bbe@Isaiah:22:3 @All your rulers... have gone in flight; all your strong ones have gone far away.

bbe@Isaiah:22:5 @For it is a day of trouble and of crushing down and of destruction from the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the valley of vision;...

bbe@Isaiah:22:7 @And your most fertile valleys were full of war-carriages, and the horsemen took up their positions in front of the town.

bbe@Isaiah:22:9 @And you saw all the broken places in the wall of the town of David: and you got together the waters of the lower pool.

bbe@Isaiah:22:10 @And you had the houses of Jerusalem numbered, pulling down the houses to make the wall stronger.

bbe@Isaiah:22:11 @And you made a place between the two walls for storing the waters of the old pool: but you gave no thought to him who had done this, and were not looking to him by whom it had been purposed long before.

bbe@Isaiah:22:18 @Twisting you round and round like a ball he will send you out into a wide country: there you will come to your end, and there will be the carriages of your pride, O shame of your lord's house!

bbe@Isaiah:22:21 @And I will put your robe on him, and put your band about him, and I will give your authority into his hand: and he will be a father to the men of Jerusalem, and to the family of Judah.

bbe@Isaiah:22:24 @And all the glory of his father's family will be hanging on him, all their offspring, every small vessel, even the cups and the basins.

bbe@Isaiah:22:25 @In that day, says the Lord of armies, will the nail fixed in a safe place give way; and it will be cut down, and in its fall the weight hanging on it will be cut off, for the Lord has said it.

bbe@Isaiah:23:3 @Who get in the seed of Shihor, whose wealth is the trade of the nations.

bbe@Isaiah:23:17 @And it will be after the end of seventy years, that the Lord will have mercy on Tyre, and she will go back to her trade, acting as a loose woman with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:24:1 @See, the Lord is making the earth waste and unpeopled, he is turning it upside down, and sending the people in all directions.

bbe@Isaiah:24:5 @The earth has been made unclean by those living in it; because the laws have not been kept by them, the orders have been changed, and the eternal agreement has been broken.

bbe@Isaiah:24:6 @For this cause the earth is given up to the curse, and those in it are judged as sinners: for this cause those living on the earth are burned up, and the rest are small in number.

bbe@Isaiah:24:7 @The new wine is thin, the vine is feeble, and all the glad-hearted make sounds of grief.

bbe@Isaiah:24:8 @The pleasing sound of all instruments of music has come to an end, and the voices of those who are glad.

bbe@Isaiah:24:11 @There is a crying in the streets because of the wine; there is an end of all delight, the joy of the land is gone.

bbe@Isaiah:24:12 @In the town all is waste, and in the public place is destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:24:16 @From the farthest part of the earth comes the sound of songs, glory to the upright. But I said, I am wasting away, wasting away, the curse is on me! The false ones go on in their false way, yes, they go on acting falsely.

bbe@Isaiah:24:23 @Then the moon will be veiled, and the sun put to shame; for the Lord of armies will be ruling in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his judges he will let his glory be seen.

bbe@Isaiah:25:2 @For you have made a town a waste place: a strong town a mass of broken walls; the tower of the men of pride has come to an end; it will never be put up again.

bbe@Isaiah:25:6 @And in this mountain will the Lord of armies make for all peoples a feast of good things, a feast of wines long stored, of good things sweet to the taste, of wines long kept and tested.

bbe@Isaiah:25:7 @And in this mountain he will put an end to the shade covering the face of all peoples, and the veil which is stretched over all nations.

bbe@Isaiah:25:8 @He has put an end to death for ever; and the Lord God will take away all weeping; and he will put an end to the shame of his people in all the earth: for the Lord has said it.

bbe@Isaiah:25:9 @And in that day it will be said, See, this is our God; we have been waiting for him, and he will be our saviour: this is the Lord in whom is our hope; we will be glad and have delight in his salvation

bbe@Isaiah:25:12 @And the strong tower of your walls has been broken by him, made low, and crushed even to the dust.

bbe@Isaiah:26:1 @In that day will this song be made in the land of Judah: We have a strong town; he will make salvation our walls and towers.

bbe@Isaiah:26:5 @For he has made low those who are lifted up, all the people of the town of pride: he makes it low, crushing it down to the earth; he makes it low in the dust.

bbe@Isaiah:26:12 @Lord, you will give us peace: for all our works are the outcome of your purpose.

bbe@Isaiah:26:13 @O Lord, our God, other lords than you have had rule over us; but in you only is our salvation, and no other name will we take on our lips.

bbe@Isaiah:26:18 @We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have given birth to wind; no salvation has come to the earth through us, and no children have come into the world.

bbe@Isaiah:27:3 @I, the Lord, am watching it; I will give it water at all times: I will keep it night and day, for fear that any damage comes to it.

bbe@Isaiah:27:9 @So by this will the sin of Jacob be covered, and this is all the fruit of taking away his punishment; when all the stones of the altar are crushed together, so that the wood pillars and the sun-images will not be put up again.

bbe@Isaiah:27:13 @And it will be in that day that a great horn will be sounded; and those who were wandering in the land of Assyria, and those who had been sent away into the land of Egypt, will come; and they will give worship to the Lord in the holy mountain at Jerusalem

bbe@Isaiah:28:4 @And the dead flower of his glory, which is on the head of the fertile valley, will be like the first early fruit before the summer; which a man takes and puts in his mouth the minute he sees it.

bbe@Isaiah:28:7 @And further, these are uncertain through wine, and have gone out of the right way through strong drink: the priest and the prophet are uncertain through strong drink, they are overcome by wine, they have gone out of the way through strong drink; their vision is false, they go wrong in their decisions.

bbe@Isaiah:28:8 @For all the tables are covered with coughed-up food, so that there is not a clean place.

bbe@Isaiah:28:11 @No, but with broken talk, and with a strange tongue, he will give his word to this people:

bbe@Isaiah:28:13 @For this cause the word of the Lord will be to them rule after rule, line after line, here a little, there a little; so that they may go on their way, and falling back may be broken, and taken in the net.

bbe@Isaiah:28:14 @Give ear then to the word of the Lord, you men of pride, the rulers of this people in Jerusalem:

bbe@Isaiah:28:15 @Because you have said, We have made death our friend, and with the underworld we have made an agreement; when the overflowing waters come through they will not come near us; for we are looking to false words for help, taking cover in what is untrue:

bbe@Isaiah:28:16 @For this cause says the Lord God, See, I am placing in Zion as a base, a stone, a tested stone, an angle-stone which is certain and of great value: and he who has faith will not give way.

bbe@Isaiah:28:17 @And I will make right decision the measuring-line, and righteousness the weight: and the ice-storm will take away the safe place of false words, and the secret place will be covered by the flowing waters.

bbe@Isaiah:28:21 @For the Lord will come up as on Mount Perazim, he will be moved to wrath as in the valley of Gibeon; so that he may do his work--strange is his work; and give effect to his act--unnatural is his act.

bbe@Isaiah:28:22 @And now, take care that you do not make sport of him, or your bands will be made strong; for I have had word from the Lord, the Lord of armies, of an end, of a complete end, which is to come on all the land.

bbe@Isaiah:28:29 @This comes from the Lord of armies, purposing wonders, and wise in all his acts.

bbe@Isaiah:29:5 @And the army of your attackers will be like small dust, and all the cruel ones like dry stems gone before the wind; suddenly it will come about.

bbe@Isaiah:29:7 @And all the nations making war on Ariel, and all those who are fighting against her and shutting her in with their towers, will be like a dream, like a vision of the night.

bbe@Isaiah:29:8 @And it will be like a man desiring food, and dreaming that he is feasting; but when he is awake there is nothing in his mouth: or like a man in need of water, dreaming that he is drinking; but when he is awake he is feeble and his soul is full of desire: so will all the nations be which make war on Mount Zion.

bbe@Isaiah:29:11 @And the vision of all this has become to you like the words of a book which is shut, which men give to one who has knowledge of writing, saying, Make clear to us what is in the book: and he says, I am not able to, for the book is shut:

bbe@Isaiah:29:13 @And the Lord said, because this people come near to me with their mouths, and give honour to me with their lips, but their heart is far from me, and their fear of me is false, a rule given them by the teaching of men;

bbe@Isaiah:30:5 @For they have all come with offerings to a people of no use to them, in whom is no help or profit, but only shame and a bad name.

bbe@Isaiah:30:6 @The word about the Beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and grief, the land of the she-lion and the voice of the lion, of the snake and the burning winged snake, they take their wealth on the backs of young asses, and their stores on camels, to a people in whom is no profit.

bbe@Isaiah:30:8 @Now go, put it in writing before them on a board, and make a record of it in a book, so that it may be for the future, a witness for all time to come.

bbe@Isaiah:30:9 @For they are an uncontrolled people, false-hearted, who will not give ear to the teaching of the Lord:

bbe@Isaiah:30:10 @Who say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Do not give us word of what is true, but say false things to give us pleasure:

bbe@Isaiah:30:13 @This sin will be to you like a crack in a high wall, causing its fall suddenly and in a minute.

bbe@Isaiah:30:15 @For the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, said, In quiet and rest is your salvation: peace and hope are your strength: but you would not have it so.

bbe@Isaiah:30:18 @For this cause the Lord will be waiting, so that he may be kind to you; and he will be lifted up, so that he may have mercy on you; for the Lord is a God of righteousness: there is a blessing on all whose hope is in him.

bbe@Isaiah:30:19 @O people, living in Zion, at Jerusalem, your weeping will be ended; he will certainly have mercy on you at the sound of your cry; when it comes to his ear, he will give you an answer

bbe@Isaiah:30:24 @And the oxen and the young asses which are used for ploughing, will have salted grain which has been made free from the waste with fork and basket.

bbe@Isaiah:30:25 @And there will be rivers and streams of water on every tall mountain and on every high hill, in the day when great numbers are put to the sword, when the towers come down.

bbe@Isaiah:31:1 @Cursed are those who go down to Egypt for help, and who put their faith in horses; looking to war-carriages for salvation, because of their numbers; and to horsemen, because they are very strong; but they are not looking to the Holy One of Israel, or turning their hearts to the Lord;

bbe@Isaiah:31:5 @Like birds with outstretched wings, so will the Lord of armies be a cover to Jerusalem; he will be a cover and salvation for it, going over it he will keep it from danger.

bbe@Isaiah:31:7 @For in that day they will all give up their images of silver and of gold, the sin which they made for themselves.

bbe@Isaiah:31:9 @And his rock will come to nothing because of fear, and his chiefs will go in flight from the flag, says the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his altar in Jerusalem.

bbe@Isaiah:32:4 @The man of sudden impulses will become wise in heart, and he whose tongue is slow will get the power of talking clearly.

bbe@Isaiah:32:5 @The foolish man will no longer be named noble, and they will not say of the false man that he is a man of honour.

bbe@Isaiah:32:6 @For the foolish man will say foolish things, having evil thoughts in his heart, working what is unclean, and talking falsely about the Lord, to keep food from him who is in need of it, and water from him whose soul is desiring it.

bbe@Isaiah:32:7 @The designs of the false are evil, purposing the destruction of the poor man by false words, even when he is in the right.

bbe@Isaiah:32:13 @And for the land of my people, where thorns will come up; even for all the houses of joy in the glad town.

bbe@Isaiah:32:19 @But the tall trees will come down with a great fall, and the town will be low in a low place.

bbe@Isaiah:32:20 @Happy are you who are planting seed by all the waters, and sending out the ox and the ass.

bbe@Isaiah:33:1 @Ho! you who make waste those who did not make you waste; acting falsely to those who were not false to you. When you have come to an end of wasting, you will be made waste, and after your false acts, they will do the same to you.

bbe@Isaiah:33:2 @O Lord, have mercy on us; for we have been waiting for your help: be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of trouble.

bbe@Isaiah:33:3 @At the loud noise the peoples have gone in flight; at your coming up the nations have gone in all directions.

bbe@Isaiah:33:6 @And she will have no more fear of change, being full of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge: the fear of the Lord is her wealth.

bbe@Isaiah:33:9 @The earth is sorrowing and wasting away; Lebanon is put to shame and has become waste; Sharon is like the Arabah; and in Bashan and Carmel the leaves are falling.

bbe@Isaiah:33:12 @And the peoples will be like the burning of chalk: as thorns cut down, which are burned in the fire.

bbe@Isaiah:33:14 @The sinners in Zion are full of fear; the haters of God are shaking with wonder. Who among us may keep his place before the burning fire? who among us may see the eternal burnings?

bbe@Isaiah:33:15 @He whose ways are true, and whose words are upright; he who gives no thought to the profits of false acts, whose hands have not taken rewards, who will have no part in putting men to death, and whose eyes are shut against evil;

bbe@Isaiah:33:20 @Let your eyes be resting on Zion, the town of our holy feasts: you will see Jerusalem, a quiet resting-place, a tent which will not be moved, whose tent-pins will never be pulled up, and whose cords will never be broken.

bbe@Isaiah:34:1 @Come near, you nations, and give ear; take note, you peoples: let the earth and everything in it give ear; the world and all those living in it.

bbe@Isaiah:34:2 @For the Lord is angry with all the nations, and his wrath is burning against all their armies: he has put them to the curse, he has given them to destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:34:3 @Their dead bodies will be thick on the face of the earth, and their smell will come up, and the mountains will be flowing with their blood, and all the hills will come to nothing.

bbe@Isaiah:34:4 @And the heavens will be rolled together like the roll of a book: and all their army will be gone, like a dead leaf from the vine, or a dry fruit from the fig-tree.

bbe@Isaiah:34:7 @And the strong oxen will go down to death together with the smaller cattle.

bbe@Isaiah:34:9 @And its streams will be turned into boiling oil, and its dust into burning stone, and all the land will be on fire.

bbe@Isaiah:34:12 @The jackals will be there, and her great ones will be gone; they will say, There is no longer a kingdom there, and all her chiefs will have come to an end.

bbe@Isaiah:34:14 @And the beasts of the waste places will come together with the jackals, and the evil spirits will be crying to one another, even the night-spirit will come and make her resting-place there.

bbe@Isaiah:34:16 @See what is recorded in the book of the Lord: all these will be there, not one without the other: the mouth of the Lord has given the order, and his spirit has made them come together.

bbe@Isaiah:35:10 @Even those whom he has made free, will come back again; they will come with songs to Zion; on their heads will be eternal joy; delight and joy will be theirs, and sorrow and sounds of grief will be gone for ever.

bbe@Isaiah:36:1 @And it came about in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah that Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came up against all the walled towns of Judah and took them.

bbe@Isaiah:36:2 @And the king of Assyria sent the Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem to King Hezekiah with a strong force, and he took up his position by the stream of the higher pool, by the highway of the washerman's

bbe@Isaiah:36:6 @See, you are basing your hope on that broken rod of Egypt, which will go into a man's hand if he makes use of it for a support; for so is Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to all who put their faith in him.

bbe@Isaiah:36:7 @And if you say to me, Our hope is in the Lord our God; is it not he whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away, saying to Judah and Jerusalem that worship may only be given before this altar?

bbe@Isaiah:36:11 @Then Eliakim and Shebna and Joah said to the Rab-shakeh, Please make use of the Aramaean language in talking to your servants, for we are used to it, and do not make use of the Jews' language in the hearing of the people on the wall.

bbe@Isaiah:36:12 @But the Rab-shakeh said, Is it to your master or to you that my master has sent me to say these words? has he not sent me to the men seated on the wall? for they are the people who will be short of food with you when the town is shut in.

bbe@Isaiah:36:14 @This is what the king says: Do not be tricked by Hezekiah, for there is no salvation for you in him.

bbe@Isaiah:36:18 @Give no attention to Hezekiah when he says to you, The Lord will keep us safe. Has any one of the gods of the nations kept his land from falling into the hands of the king of Assyria?

bbe@Isaiah:36:20 @Who among all the gods of these countries have kept their country from falling into my hand, to give cause for the thought that the Lord will keep Jerusalem from falling into my hand?

bbe@Isaiah:37:10 @This is what you are to say to Hezekiah, king of Judah: Let not your God, in whom is your faith, give you a false hope, saying, Jerusalem will not be given into the hands of the king of Assyria.

bbe@Isaiah:37:11 @No doubt the story has come to your ears of what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, putting them to the curse: and will you be kept safe from their fate?

bbe@Isaiah:37:16 @O Lord of armies, the God of Israel, seated between the winged ones, you only are the God of all the kingdoms of the earth; you have made heaven and earth.

bbe@Isaiah:37:17 @Let your ear be turned to us, O Lord; let your eyes be open, O Lord, and see: take note of all the words of Sennacherib who has sent men to say evil against the living God.

bbe@Isaiah:37:18 @Truly, O Lord, the kings of Assyria have made waste all the nations and their lands,

bbe@Isaiah:37:20 @But now, O Lord our God, give us salvation from his hand, so that it may be clear to all the kingdoms of the earth that you, and you only, are the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:37:22 @This is the word which the Lord has said about him: In the eyes of the virgin daughter of Zion you are shamed and laughed at; the daughter of Jerusalem has made sport of you.

bbe@Isaiah:37:24 @You have sent your servants with evil words against the Lord, and have said, With all my war-carriages I have come up to the top of the mountains, to the inmost parts of Lebanon; and its tall cedars will be cut down, and the best trees of its woods: I will come up into his highest places, into his thick woods.

bbe@Isaiah:37:25 @I have made water-holes and taken their waters, and with my foot I have made all the rivers of Egypt dry.

bbe@Isaiah:37:26 @Has it not come to your ears how I did it long before, purposing it in times long past? Now I have given effect to my design, so that by you strong towns might be turned into masses of broken walls.

bbe@Isaiah:37:32 @For from Jerusalem those who have been kept safe will go out, and those who are still living will go out of Mount Zion: by the fixed purpose of the Lord of armies this will be done.

bbe@Isaiah:38:2 @And Hezekiah, turning his face to the wall, made his prayer to the Lord, saying,

bbe@Isaiah:38:3 @O Lord, keep in mind how I have been true to you with all my heart, and have done what is good in your eyes. And Hezekiah gave way to bitter weeping.

bbe@Isaiah:38:13 @I am crying out with pain till the morning; it is as if a lion was crushing all my bones.

bbe@Isaiah:38:15 @What am I to say? seeing that it is he who has done it: all my time of sleeping I am turning from side to side without rest.

bbe@Isaiah:38:17 @See, in place of peace my soul had bitter sorrow. but you have kept back my soul from the underworld; for you have put all my sins out of your memory.

bbe@Isaiah:38:20 @O Lord, quickly be my saviour; so we will make my songs to corded instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:39:1 @At that time Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill, and was well again.

bbe@Isaiah:39:2 @And Hezekiah was glad at their coming, and let them see all his store of wealth, the silver and the gold and the spices and the oil, and all the house of his arms, and everything there was in his stores: there was nothing in all his house or his kingdom which he did not let them see.

bbe@Isaiah:39:6 @Truly, the days are coming when everything in your house, and whatever your fathers have put in store till this day, will be taken away to Babylon: all will be gone.

bbe@Isaiah:40:2 @Say kind words to the heart of Jerusalem, crying out to her that her time of trouble is ended, that her punishment is complete; that she has been rewarded by the Lord's hand twice over for all her sins.

bbe@Isaiah:40:4 @Let every valley be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low, and let the rough places become level, and the hilltops become a valley,

bbe@Isaiah:40:5 @And the glory of the Lord will be made clear, and all flesh will see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has said it.

bbe@Isaiah:40:6 @A voice of one saying, Give a cry! And I said, What is my cry to be? All flesh is grass, and all its strength like the flower of the field.

bbe@Isaiah:40:8 @The grass is dry, the flower is dead; but the word of our God is eternal.

bbe@Isaiah:40:9 @You who give good news to Zion, get up into the high mountain; you who give good news to Jerusalem, let your voice be strong; let it be sounding without fear; say to the towns of Judah, See, your God!

bbe@Isaiah:40:12 @In the hollow of whose hand have the waters been measured? and who is able to take the heavens in his stretched-out fingers? who has got together the dust of the earth in a measure? who has taken the weight of the mountains, or put the hills into the scales?

bbe@Isaiah:40:15 @See, the nations are to him like a drop hanging from a bucket, and like the small dust in the scales: he takes up the islands like small dust.

bbe@Isaiah:40:16 @And Lebanon is not enough to make a fire with, or all its cattle enough for a burned offering.

bbe@Isaiah:40:17 @All the nations are as nothing before him; even less than nothing, a thing of no value.

bbe@Isaiah:40:22 @It is he who is seated over the arch of the earth, and the people in it are as small as locusts; by him the heavens are stretched out like an arch, and made ready like a tent for a living-place.

bbe@Isaiah:40:23 @He makes rulers come to nothing; the judges of the earth are of no value.

bbe@Isaiah:40:25 @Who then seems to you to be my equal? says the Holy One.

bbe@Isaiah:40:26 @Let your eyes be lifted up on high, and see: who has made these? He who sends out their numbered army: who has knowledge of all their names: by whose great strength, because he is strong in power, all of them are in their places.

bbe@Isaiah:40:28 @Have you no knowledge of it? has it not come to your ears? The eternal God, the Lord, the Maker of the ends of the earth, is never feeble or tired; there is no searching out of his wisdom.

bbe@Isaiah:40:31 @But those who are waiting for the Lord will have new strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness.

bbe@Isaiah:41:7 @So the metal-worker put heart into the gold-worker, and he who was hammering the metal smooth said kind words to the iron-worker, saying of the plate, It is ready: and he put it together with nails, so that there might be no slipping.

bbe@Isaiah:41:11 @Truly, all those who are angry with you will be made low and put to shame: those desiring to do you wrong will come to nothing and never again be seen.

bbe@Isaiah:41:15 @See, I will make you like a new grain-crushing instrument with teeth, crushing the mountains small, and making the hills like dry stems.

bbe@Isaiah:41:16 @You will send the wind over them, and it will take them away; they will go in all directions before the storm-wind: you will have joy in the Lord, and be glad in the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:41:18 @I will make rivers on the dry mountain-tops, and fountains in the valleys: I will make the waste land a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

bbe@Isaiah:41:20 @So that they may see and be wise and give their mind to it, and that it may be clear to them all that the hand of the Lord has done this, and that the Holy One of Israel has made it.

bbe@Isaiah:41:23 @Give us word of what will be after this, so that we may be certain that you are gods: yes, do good or do evil, so that we may all see it and be surprised.

bbe@Isaiah:41:24 @But you are nothing, and your work is of no value: foolish is he who takes you for his gods.

bbe@Isaiah:41:27 @I was the first to give word of it to Zion, and I gave the good news to Jerusalem.

bbe@Isaiah:41:29 @Truly they are all nothing, their works are nothing and of no value: their metal images are of no more use than wind.

bbe@Isaiah:42:15 @I will make waste mountains and hills, drying up all their plants; and I will make rivers dry, and pools dry land.

bbe@Isaiah:42:17 @They will be turned back and be greatly shamed who put their hope in pictured images, who say to metal images, You are our gods.

bbe@Isaiah:42:22 @But this is a people whose property has been taken away from them by force; they are all taken in holes, and shut up in prisons: they are made prisoners, and no one makes them free; they are taken by force and no one says, Give them back.

bbe@Isaiah:43:4 @Because of your value in my eyes, you have been honoured, and loved by me; so I will give men for you, and peoples for your life.

bbe@Isaiah:43:9 @Let all the nations come together, and let the peoples be present: who among them is able to make this clear, and give us word of earlier things? let their witnesses come forward, so that they may be seen to be true, and that they may give ear, and say, It is true.

bbe@Isaiah:43:14 @The Lord, who has taken up your cause, the Holy One of Israel, says, Because of you I have sent to Babylon, and made all their seers come south, and the Chaldaeans whose cry is in the ships.

bbe@Isaiah:43:17 @Who sends out the war-carriages and the horses, the army with all its force; they have come down, they will not get up again; like a feebly burning light they are put out.

bbe@Isaiah:43:20 @The beasts of the field will give me honour, the jackals and the ostriches: because I send out waters in the waste land, and rivers in the dry country, to give drink to the people whom I have taken for myself:

bbe@Isaiah:44:9 @Those who make a pictured image are all of them as nothing, and the things of their desire will be of no profit to them: and their servants see not, and have no knowledge; so they will be put to shame.

bbe@Isaiah:44:10 @Whoever makes a god, makes nothing but a metal image in which there is no profit.

bbe@Isaiah:44:11 @Truly, all those who make use of secret arts will be put to shame, and their words of power are only words of men: let them all come forward together; they will all be in fear and be put to shame.

bbe@Isaiah:44:12 @The iron-worker is heating the metal in the fire, giving it form with his hammers, and working on it with his strong arm: then for need of food his strength gives way, and for need of water he becomes feeble.

bbe@Isaiah:44:16 @With part of it he makes a fire, and on the fire he gets meat cooked and takes a full meal: he makes himself warm, and says, Aha! I am warm, I have seen the fire:

bbe@Isaiah:44:19 @And no one takes note, no one has enough knowledge or wisdom to say, I have put part of it in the fire, and made bread on it; I have had a meal of the flesh cooked with it: and am I now to make the rest of it into a false god? am I to go down on my face before a bit of wood?

bbe@Isaiah:44:20 @As for him whose food is the dust of a dead fire, he has been turned from the way by a twisted mind, so that he is unable to keep himself safe by saying, What I have here in my hand is false.

bbe@Isaiah:44:23 @Make a song, O heavens, for the Lord has done it: give a loud cry, you deep parts of the earth: let your voices be loud in song, you mountains, and you woods with all your trees: for the Lord has taken up the cause of Jacob, and will let his glory be seen in Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:44:24 @The Lord, who has taken up your cause, and who gave you life in your mother's body, says, I am the Lord who makes all things; stretching out the heavens by myself, and giving the earth its limits; who was with me?

bbe@Isaiah:44:26 @Who makes the word of his servants certain, and gives effect to the purposes of his representatives; who says of Jerusalem, Her people will come back to her; and of the towns of Judah, I will give orders for their building, and will make her waste places fertile again:

bbe@Isaiah:44:28 @Who says of Cyrus, He will take care of my sheep, and will do all my pleasure: who says of Jerusalem, I will give the word for your building; and of the Temple, Your bases will be put in place.

bbe@Isaiah:45:3 @And I will give you the stores of the dark, and the wealth of secret places, so that you may be certain that I am the Lord, who gave you your name, even the God of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:45:7 @I am the giver of light and the maker of the dark; causing blessing, and sending troubles; I am the Lord, who does all these things.

bbe@Isaiah:45:8 @Let righteousness come down, O heavens, from on high, and let the sky send it down like rain: let the earth be open to give the fruit of salvation, causing righteousness to come up with it; I the Lord have made it come about.

bbe@Isaiah:45:12 @I have made the earth, forming man on it: by my hands the heavens have been stretched out, and all the stars put in their ordered places.

bbe@Isaiah:45:13 @I have sent him out to overcome the nations, and I will make all his ways straight: I will give him the work of building my town, and he will let my prisoners go free, without price or reward, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Isaiah:45:14 @The Lord says, The workmen of Egypt, and the traders of Ethiopia, and the tall Sabaeans, will come over the sea to you, and they will be yours; they will go after you; in chains they will come over: and they will go down on their faces before you, and will make prayer to you, saying, Truly, God is among you; and there is no other God.

bbe@Isaiah:45:16 @All those who have gone against him will be put to shame; the makers of images will be made low.

bbe@Isaiah:45:17 @But the Lord will make Israel free with an eternal salvation: you will not be put to shame or made low for ever and ever.

bbe@Isaiah:45:20 @Come together, even come near, you nations who are still living: they have no knowledge who take up their image of wood, and make prayer to a god in whom is no salvation.

bbe@Isaiah:45:22 @Let your hearts be turned to me, so that you may have salvation, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is no other.

bbe@Isaiah:45:24 @Only in the Lord will Jacob overcome and be strong: together all those who were angry with him will be put to shame and come to destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:45:25 @In the Lord will all the seed of Israel get their rights, and they will give glory to him.

bbe@Isaiah:46:1 @Bel is bent down, Nebo is falling; their images are on the beasts and on the cattle: the things which you took about have become a weight to the tired beast.

bbe@Isaiah:46:2 @They are bent down, they are falling together: they were not able to keep their images safe, but they themselves have been taken prisoner.

bbe@Isaiah:46:3 @Give ear to me, O family of Jacob, and all the rest of the people of Israel, who have been supported by me from their birth, and have been my care from their earliest days:

bbe@Isaiah:46:5 @Who in your eyes is my equal? or what comparison will you make with me?

bbe@Isaiah:46:6 @As for those who take gold out of a bag, and put silver in the scales, they give payment to a gold-worker, to make it into a god; they go down on their faces and give it worship.

bbe@Isaiah:46:10 @Making clear from the first what is to come, and from past times the things which have not so far come about; saying, My purpose is fixed, and I will do all my pleasure;

bbe@Isaiah:46:13 @My righteousness is near, it is not far off; salvation will come quickly; and I will make Zion free, and give Israel my glory.

bbe@Isaiah:47:1 @Come and take your seat in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; come down from your seat of power, and take your place on the earth, O daughter of the Chaldaeans: for you will never again seem soft and delicate.

bbe@Isaiah:47:2 @Take the crushing-stones and get the meal crushed: take off your veil, put away your robe, let your legs be uncovered, go through the rivers.

bbe@Isaiah:47:3 @The shame of your unclothed condition will be seen by all: I will give punishment without mercy,

bbe@Isaiah:47:5 @Be seated in the dark without a word, O daughter of the Chaldaeans: for you will no longer be named, The Queen of Kingdoms.

bbe@Isaiah:47:9 @But these two things will come on you suddenly in one day, the loss of children and of husband: in full measure they will come on you, for all your secret arts, and all your wonders.

bbe@Isaiah:47:11 @Because of this evil will come on you, which may not be turned away for any price: and trouble will overtake you, from which no money will give salvation: destruction will come on you suddenly, without your knowledge.

bbe@Isaiah:47:12 @Go on now with your secret arts, and all your wonder-working, to which you have given yourself up from your earliest days; it may be that they will be of profit to you, or by them you may put fear into your attackers.

bbe@Isaiah:47:13 @But your mind is troubled by the number of your guides: let them now come forward for your salvation: the measurers of the heavens, the watchers of the stars, and those who are able to say from month to month what things are coming on you.

bbe@Isaiah:47:14 @Truly, they have become like dry stems, they have been burned in the fire; they are not able to keep themselves safe from the power of the flame: it is not a coal for warming them, or a fire by which a man may be seated.

bbe@Isaiah:47:15 @Small profit have you had from those who, from your earliest days, got great profit out of you; they have gone in flight, every one straight before him, and you have no saviour.

bbe@Isaiah:48:5 @For this reason I made it clear to you in the past, before it came I gave you word of it: for fear that you might say, My god did these things, and my pictured and metal images made them come about.

bbe@Isaiah:48:6 @All this has come to your ears and you have seen it; will you not give witness to it? I am now making clear new things, even secret things, of which you had no knowledge.

bbe@Isaiah:48:8 @Truly you had no word of them, no knowledge of them; no news of them in the past had come to your ears; because I saw how false was your behaviour, and that your heart was turned against me from your earliest days.

bbe@Isaiah:48:14 @Come together, all of you, and give ear; who among you has given news of these things? the Lord's loved one will do his pleasure with Babylon, and with the seed of the Chaldaeans.

bbe@Isaiah:48:20 @Go out of Babylon, go in flight from the Chaldaeans; with the sound of song make it clear, give the news, let the word go out even to the end of the earth: say, The Lord has taken up the cause of his servant Jacob.

bbe@Isaiah:49:6 @It is not enough for one who is my servant to put the tribes of Jacob again in their place, and to get back those of Israel who have been sent away: my purpose is to give you as a light to the nations, so that you may be my salvation to the end of the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:49:8 @This is the word of the Lord: I have given ear to you at a good time, and I have been your helper in a day of salvation: and I will keep you safe, and will make you a glory for the people, putting the land in order, and giving them the heritages which now are waste;

bbe@Isaiah:49:9 @Saying to those who are in chains, Go free; to those who are in the dark, Come out into the light. They will get food by the way wherever they go, and have grass-lands on all the dry mountain-tops.

bbe@Isaiah:49:11 @And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways will be lifted up.

bbe@Isaiah:49:16 @See, your name is marked on my hands; your walls are ever before me.

bbe@Isaiah:49:18 @Let your eyes be lifted up round about, and see: they are all coming together to you. By my life, says the Lord, truly you will put them all on you as an ornament, and be clothed with them like a bride.

bbe@Isaiah:49:21 @Then you will say in your heart, Who has given me all these children? when my children had been taken from me, and I was no longer able to have others, who took care of these? when I was by myself, where then were these?

bbe@Isaiah:49:26 @And the flesh of your attackers will be taken by themselves for food; and they will take their blood for drink, as if it was sweet wine: and all men will see that I the Lord am your saviour, even he who takes up your cause, the Strong One of Jacob.

bbe@Isaiah:50:4 @The Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are experienced, so that I may be able to give the word a special sense for the feeble: every morning my ear is open to his teaching, like those who are experienced:

bbe@Isaiah:50:9 @See, the Lord God is my helper; who will give a decision against me? truly, all of them will become old like a robe; they will be food for the worm.

bbe@Isaiah:50:10 @Who among you has the fear of the Lord, giving ear to the voice of his servant who has been walking in the dark and has no light? Let him put his faith in the name of the Lord, looking to his God for support.

bbe@Isaiah:50:11 @See, all you who make a fire, arming yourselves with burning branches: go in the flame of your fire, and among the branches you have put a light to. This will you have from my hand, you will make your bed in sorrow.

bbe@Isaiah:51:3 @For the Lord has given comfort to Zion: he has made glad all her broken walls; making her waste places like Eden, and changing her dry land into the garden of the Lord; joy and delight will be there, praise and the sound of melody.

bbe@Isaiah:51:5 @Suddenly will my righteousness come near, and my salvation will be shining out like the light; the sea-lands will be waiting for me, and they will put their hope in my strong arm.

bbe@Isaiah:51:6 @Let your eyes be lifted up to the heavens, and turned to the earth which is under them: for the heavens will go in flight like smoke, and the earth will become old like a coat, and its people will come to destruction like insects: but my salvation will be for ever, and my righteousness will not come to an end.

bbe@Isaiah:51:8 @For like a coat they will be food for the insect, the worm will make a meal of them like wool: but my righteousness will be for ever, and my salvation to all generations.

bbe@Isaiah:51:11 @Those whom the Lord has made free will come back with songs to Zion; and on their heads will be eternal joy: delight and joy will be theirs, and sorrow and sounds of grief will be gone for ever.

bbe@Isaiah:51:13 @And you have given no thought to the Lord your Maker, by whom the heavens were stretched out, and the earth placed on its base; and you went all day in fear of the wrath of the cruel one, when he was making ready for your destruction. And where is the wrath of the cruel one?

bbe@Isaiah:51:15 @For I am the Lord your God, who makes the sea calm when its waves are thundering: the Lord of armies is his name.

bbe@Isaiah:51:17 @Awake! awake! up! O Jerusalem, you who have taken from the Lord's hand the cup of his wrath; tasting in full measure the wine which overcomes.

bbe@Isaiah:51:18 @She has no one among all her children to be her guide; not one of the sons she has taken care of takes her by the hand.

bbe@Isaiah:52:1 @Awake! awake! put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful robes, O Jerusalem, the holy town: for from now there will never again come into you the unclean and those without circumcision.

bbe@Isaiah:52:2 @Make yourself clean from the dust; up! and take the seat of your power, O Jerusalem: the bands of your neck are loose, O prisoned daughter of Zion.

bbe@Isaiah:52:5 @Now then, what have I here? says the Lord, for my people are taken away without cause; they are made waste and give cries of sorrow, says the Lord, and all the day the nations put shame on my name.

bbe@Isaiah:52:7 @How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who comes with good news, who gives word of peace, saying that salvation is near; who says to Zion, Your God is ruling!

bbe@Isaiah:52:9 @Give sounds of joy, make melody together, waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord has given comfort to his people, he has taken up the cause of Jerusalem.

bbe@Isaiah:52:10 @The Lord has let his holy arm be seen by the eyes of all nations; and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.

bbe@Isaiah:53:3 @Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him.

bbe@Isaiah:53:6 @We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all.

bbe@Isaiah:54:5 @For your Maker is your husband; the Lord of armies is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is he who takes up your cause; he will be named the God of all the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:54:12 @I will make your towers of rubies, and your doors of carbuncles, and the wall round you will be of all sorts of beautiful stones.

bbe@Isaiah:54:13 @And all your builders will be made wise by the Lord; and great will be the peace of your children.

bbe@Isaiah:54:14 @All your rights will be made certain to you: have no fear of evil, and destruction will not come near you.

bbe@Isaiah:54:15 @See, they may be moved to war, but not by my authority: all those who come together to make an attack on you, will be broken against you.

bbe@Isaiah:54:16 @See, I have made the iron-worker, blowing on the burning coals, and making the instrument of war by his work; and I have made the waster for destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:54:17 @No instrument of war which is formed against you will be of any use; and every tongue which says evil against you will be judged false. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness comes from me, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:55:3 @Give ear, and come to me, take note with care, so that your souls may have life: and I will make an eternal agreement with you, even the certain mercies of David.

bbe@Isaiah:55:12 @For you will go out with joy, and be guided in peace: the mountains and the hills will make melody before you, and all the trees of the fields will make sounds of joy.

bbe@Isaiah:55:13 @In place of the thorn will come up the fir-tree, and in place of the blackberry the myrtle: and it will be to the Lord for a name, for an eternal sign which will not be cut off.

bbe@Isaiah:56:1 @The Lord says, Let your way of life be upright, and let your behaviour be rightly ordered: for my salvation is near, and my righteousness will quickly be seen.

bbe@Isaiah:56:5 @I will give to them in my house, and inside my walls, a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an eternal name which will not be cut off.

bbe@Isaiah:56:7 @I will make them come to my holy mountain, and will give them joy in my house of prayer; I will take pleasure in the burned offerings which they make on my altar: for my house will be named a house of prayer for all peoples.

bbe@Isaiah:56:9 @All you beasts of the field, come together for your meat, even all you beasts of the wood.

bbe@Isaiah:56:10 @His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all dogs without tongues, unable to make a sound; stretched out dreaming, loving sleep.

bbe@Isaiah:56:11 @Yes, the dogs are for ever looking for food; while these, the keepers of the sheep, are without wisdom: they have all gone after their pleasure, every one looking for profit; they are all the same.

bbe@Isaiah:57:3 @But come near, you sons of her who is wise in secret arts, the seed of her who is false to her husband, and of the loose woman.

bbe@Isaiah:57:4 @Of whom do you make sport? against whom is your mouth open wide and your tongue put out? are you not uncontrolled children, a false seed,

bbe@Isaiah:57:5 @You who are burning with evil desire among the oaks, under every green tree; putting children to death in the valleys, under the cracks of the rocks?

bbe@Isaiah:57:6 @Among the smooth stones of the valley is your heritage; they, even they, are your part: even to them have you made a drink offering and a meal offering. Is it possible for such things to be overlooked by me?

bbe@Isaiah:57:8 @And on the back of the doors and on the pillars you have put your sign: for you have been false to me with another; you have made your bed wide, and made an agreement with them; you had a desire for their bed where you saw it

bbe@Isaiah:57:11 @And of whom were you in fear, so that you were false, and did not keep me in mind, or give thought to it? Have I not been quiet, keeping myself secret, and so you were not in fear of me?

bbe@Isaiah:57:13 @Your false gods will not keep you safe in answer to your cry; but the wind will take them, they will be gone like a breath: but he who puts his hope in me will take the land, and will have my holy mountain as his heritage.

bbe@Isaiah:57:15 @For this is the word of him who is high and lifted up, whose resting-place is eternal, whose name is Holy: my resting-place is in the high and holy place, and with him who is crushed and poor in spirit, to give life to the spirit of the poor, and to make strong the heart of the crushed.

bbe@Isaiah:58:11 @And the Lord will be your guide at all times; in dry places he will give you water in full measure, and will make strong your bones; and you will be like a watered garden, and like an ever-flowing spring.

bbe@Isaiah:58:12 @And your sons will be building again the old waste places: you will make strong the bases of old generations: and you will be named, He who puts up the broken walls, and, He who makes ready the ways for use.

bbe@Isaiah:59:1 @Truly, the Lord's hand has not become short, so that he is unable to give salvation; and his ear is not shut from hearing:

bbe@Isaiah:59:3 @For your hands are unclean with blood, and your fingers with sin; your lips have said false things, and your tongue gives out deceit.

bbe@Isaiah:59:4 @No one puts forward an upright cause, or gives a true decision: their hope is in deceit, and their words are false; they are with child with sin, and give birth to evil.

bbe@Isaiah:59:10 @We go on our way, like blind men feeling for the wall, even like those who have no eyes: we are running against things in daylight as if it was evening; our place is in the dark like dead men.

bbe@Isaiah:59:11 @We make noises of grief, like bears, and sad sounds like doves: we are looking for our right, but it is not there; for salvation, but it is far from us.

bbe@Isaiah:59:13 @We have gone against the Lord, and been false to him, turning away from our God, our words have been uncontrolled, and in our hearts are thoughts of deceit.

bbe@Isaiah:59:16 @And he saw that there was no man, and was surprised that there was no one to take up their cause: so his arm gave salvation, and he made righteousness his support.

bbe@Isaiah:59:17 @Yes, he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and salvation as a head-dress; and he put on punishment as clothing, and wrath as a robe.

bbe@Isaiah:60:4 @Let your eyes be lifted up, and see: they are all coming together to you: your sons will come from far, and your daughters taken with loving care.

bbe@Isaiah:60:5 @Then you will see, and be bright with joy, and your heart will be shaking with increase of delight: for the produce of the sea will be turned to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you.

bbe@Isaiah:60:6 @You will be full of camel-trains, even the young camels of Midian and Ephah; all from Sheba will come, with gold and spices, giving word of the great acts of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:60:7 @All the flocks of Kedar will come together to you, the sheep of Nebaioth will be ready for your need; they will be pleasing offerings on my altar, and my house of prayer will be beautiful.

bbe@Isaiah:60:10 @And men from strange countries will be building up your walls, and their kings will be your servants: for in my wrath I sent punishment on you, but in my grace I have had mercy on you.

bbe@Isaiah:60:11 @Your doors will be open at all times; they will not be shut day or night; so that men may come into you with the wealth of the nations, with their kings at their head.

bbe@Isaiah:60:18 @Violent acts will no longer be seen in your land, wasting or destruction in your limits; but your walls will be named, Salvation, and your doors Praise.

bbe@Isaiah:60:19 @The sun will not be your light by day, and the moon will no longer be bright for you by night: but the Lord will be to you an eternal light, and your God your glory.

bbe@Isaiah:60:20 @Your sun will never again go down, or your moon keep back her light: for the Lord will be your eternal light, and the days of your sorrow will be ended.

bbe@Isaiah:60:21 @Your people will all be upright, the land will be their heritage for ever; the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, to be for my glory.

bbe@Isaiah:60:22 @The smallest of their families will become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I, the Lord, will make it come quickly in its time.

bbe@Isaiah:61:2 @To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure has come, and the day of punishment from our God; to give comfort to all who are sad;

bbe@Isaiah:61:4 @And they will be building again the old broken walls, and will make new the old waste places, and will put up again the towns which have been waste for long generations.

bbe@Isaiah:61:6 @But you will be named the priests of the Lord, the servants of our God: you will have the wealth of the nations for your food, and you will be clothed with their glory.

bbe@Isaiah:61:7 @As they had twice as much grief, and marks of shame were their heritage, so in their land they will be rewarded twice over, and will have eternal joy.

bbe@Isaiah:61:8 @For I, the Lord, take pleasure in upright judging; I will not put up with the violent taking away of right; and I will certainly give them their reward, and I will make an eternal agreement with them.

bbe@Isaiah:61:9 @And their seed will be noted among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples: it will be clear to all who see them that they are the seed to which the Lord has given his blessing.

bbe@Isaiah:61:10 @I will be full of joy in the Lord, my soul will be glad in my God; for he has put on me the clothing of salvation, covering me with the robe of righteousness, as the husband puts on a fair head-dress, and the bride makes herself beautiful with jewels.

bbe@Isaiah:61:11 @For as the earth puts out buds, and as the garden gives growth to the seeds which are planted in it, so the Lord will make righteousness and praise to be flowering before all the nations.

bbe@Isaiah:62:1 @Because of Zion I will not keep quiet, and because of Jerusalem I will take no rest, till her righteousness goes out like the shining of the sun, and her salvation like a burning light.

bbe@Isaiah:62:2 @And the nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory: and you will have a new name, given by the mouth of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:62:6 @I have put watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will not keep quiet day or night: you who are the Lord's recorders, take no rest,

bbe@Isaiah:62:7 @And give him no rest, till he puts Jerusalem in her place to be praised in the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:62:11 @The Lord has sent out word to the end of the earth, Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your saviour comes; those whom he has made free are with him, and those to whom he has given salvation go before him.

bbe@Isaiah:63:1 @Who is this who comes from Edom, with blood-red robes from Bozrah? he whose clothing is fair, stepping with pride in his great strength? I whose glory is in the right, strong for salvation.

bbe@Isaiah:63:3 @I have been crushing the grapes by myself, and of the peoples there was no man with me: in my wrath and in my passion, they were crushed under my feet; and my robes are marked with their life-blood, and all my clothing is red.

bbe@Isaiah:63:5 @And I saw that there was no helper, and I was wondering that no one gave them support: so my arm did the work of salvation, and my wrath was my support.

bbe@Isaiah:63:7 @I will give news of the mercies of the Lord, and his great acts, even all the things the Lord has done for us, in his great grace to the house of Israel; even all he has done for us in his unnumbered mercies.

bbe@Isaiah:63:8 @For he said, Truly they are my people, children who will not be false: so he was their saviour out of all their trouble.

bbe@Isaiah:63:9 @It was no sent one or angel, but he himself who was their saviour: in his love and in his pity he took up their cause, and he took them in his arms, caring for them all through the years.

bbe@Isaiah:63:12 @He who made the arm of his glory go at the right hand of Moses, by whom the waters were parted before them, to make himself an eternal name;

bbe@Isaiah:63:14 @Like the cattle which go down into the valley, they went without falling, the spirit of the Lord guiding them: so you went before your people, to make yourself a great name.

bbe@Isaiah:64:6 @For we have all become like an unclean person, and all our good acts are like a dirty robe: and we have all become old like a dead leaf, and our sins, like the wind, take us away.

bbe@Isaiah:64:8 @But now, O Lord, you are our father; we are the earth, and you are our maker; and we are all the work of your hand.

bbe@Isaiah:64:9 @Be not very angry, O Lord, and do not keep our sins in mind for ever: give ear to our prayer, for we are all your people.

bbe@Isaiah:64:10 @Your holy towns have become a waste, Zion has become a waste, Jerusalem is a mass of broken walls.

bbe@Isaiah:64:11 @Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers gave praise to you, is burned with fire; and all the things of our desire have come to destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:64:12 @In view of all this, will you still do nothing, O Lord? will you keep quiet, and go on increasing our punishment?

bbe@Isaiah:65:2 @All day my hands have been stretched out to an uncontrolled people, who go in an evil way, after the purposes of their hearts;

bbe@Isaiah:65:5 @Who say, Keep away, do not come near me, for fear that I make you holy: these are a smoke in my nose, a fire burning all day.

bbe@Isaiah:65:8 @This is the word of the Lord: As the new wine is seen in the grapes, and they say, Do not send destruction on it, for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my servants, in order that I may not put an end to them all.

bbe@Isaiah:65:10 @And Sharon will be a grass-land for the flocks, and the valley of Achor a resting-place for the herds: for my people whose hearts have been turned back to me.

bbe@Isaiah:65:12 @Your fate will be the sword, and you will all go down to death: because when my voice came to you, you made no answer; you did not give ear to my word; but you did what was evil in my eyes, desiring what was not pleasing to me.

bbe@Isaiah:65:18 @But men will be glad and have joy for ever in what I am making; for I am making Jerusalem a delight, and her people a joy.

bbe@Isaiah:65:19 @And I will be glad over Jerusalem, and have joy in my people: and the voice of weeping will no longer be sounding in her, or the voice of grief.

bbe@Isaiah:65:25 @The wolf and the lamb will take their food together, and the lion will make a meal of grass like the ox: but dust will be the snake's food. There will be no cause of pain or destruction in all my holy mountain, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:66:2 @For all these things my hand has made, and they are mine, says the Lord; but to this man only will I give attention, to him who is poor and broken in spirit, fearing my word.

bbe@Isaiah:66:3 @He who puts an ox to death puts a man to death; he who makes an offering of a lamb puts a dog to death; he who makes a meal offering makes an offering of pig's blood; he who makes an offering of perfumes for a sign gives worship to an image: as they have gone after their desires, and their soul takes pleasure in their disgusting things;

bbe@Isaiah:66:10 @Have joy with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you her lovers: take part in her joy, all you who are sorrowing for her:

bbe@Isaiah:66:13 @As to one who is comforted by his mother, so will I give you comfort: and you will be comforted in Jerusalem.

bbe@Isaiah:66:16 @For with fire and sword will the Lord come, judging all the earth, and his sword will be on all flesh: and great numbers will be put to death by him.

bbe@Isaiah:66:18 @And I am coming to get together all nations and tongues: and they will come and will see my glory.

bbe@Isaiah:66:19 @And I will put a sign among them, and I will send those who are still living to the nations, to Tarshish, Put, and Lud, Meshech and Rosh, Tubal and Javan, to the sea-lands far away, who have not had word of me, or seen my glory; and they will give the knowledge of my glory to the nations.

bbe@Isaiah:66:20 @And they will take your countrymen out of all the nations for an offering to the Lord, on horses, and in carriages, and in carts, and on asses, and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, as the children of Israel take their offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:66:23 @And it will be, that from new moon to new moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh will come to give worship before me, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:66:24 @And they will go out to see the dead bodies of the men who have done evil against me: for their worm will ever be living, and their fire will never be put out, and they will be a thing of fear to all flesh.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:3 @And it came again in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, up to the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah; till Jerusalem was taken away in the fifth month.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:11 @Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do you see? And I said, I see a branch of an almond-tree.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:14 @Then the Lord said to me, Out of the north evil will come, bursting out on all the people of the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:15 @For see, I will send for all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says the Lord; and they will come, everyone placing his high seat at the way into Jerusalem, and against its walls on every side, and against all the towns of Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:16 @And I will give my decision against them on account of all their evil-doing; because they have given me up, burning perfumes to other gods and worshipping the works of their hands.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:18 @For see, this day have I made you a walled town, and an iron pillar, and walls of brass, against all the land, against the kings of Judah, against its captains, against its priests, and against the people of the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:19 @They will be fighting against you, but they will not overcome you: for I am with you, says the Lord, to give you salvation.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:2 @Go and say in the ears of Jerusalem, The Lord says, I still keep the memory of your kind heart when you were young, and your love when you became my bride; how you went after me in the waste of sand, in an unplanted land.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:3 @Israel was holy to the Lord, the first-fruits of his increase: all who made attacks on him were judged as wrongdoers, evil came on them, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:4 @Give ear to the words of the Lord, O sons of Jacob and all the families of Israel:

bbe@Jeremiah:2:5 @These are the words of the Lord: What evil have your fathers seen in me that they have gone far from me, and, walking after what is false, have become false?

bbe@Jeremiah:2:7 @And I took you into a fertile land, where you were living on its fruit and its wealth; but when you came in, you made my land unclean, and made my heritage a disgusting thing.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:8 @The priests did not say, Where is the Lord? and those who were expert in the law had no knowledge of me: and the rulers did evil against me, and the prophets became prophets of the Baal, going after things without value.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:23 @How are you able to say, I am not unclean, I have not gone after the Baals? see your way in the valley, be clear about what you have done: you are a quick-footed camel twisting her way in and out;

bbe@Jeremiah:2:24 @An untrained ass, used to the waste land, breathing up the wind in her desire; at her time, who is able to send her away? all those who are looking for her will have no need to make themselves tired; in her month they will get her.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:28 @But where are the gods you have made for yourselves? let them come, if they are able to give you salvation in the time of your trouble: for the number of your gods is as the number of your towns, O Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:29 @Why will you put forward your cause against me? You have all done evil against me, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:7 @And I said, After she has done all these things she will come back to me; but she did not. And her false sister Judah saw it.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:8 @And though she saw that, because Israel, turning away from me, had been untrue to me, I had put her away and given her a statement in writing ending the relation between us, still Judah, her false sister, had no fear, but went and did the same.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:9 @So that through all her loose behaviour the land became unclean, and she was untrue, giving herself to stones and trees.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:10 @But for all this, her false sister Judah has not come back to me with all her heart, but with deceit, says the Lord

bbe@Jeremiah:3:11 @And the Lord said to me, Israel in her turning away is seen to be more upright than false Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:17 @At that time Jerusalem will be named the seat of the Lord's kingdom; and all the nations will come together to it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: and no longer will their steps be guided by the purposes of their evil hearts.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:20 @Truly, as a wife is false to her husband, so have you been false to me, O Israel, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:23 @Truly, the hills, and the noise of an army on the mountains, are a false hope: truly, in the Lord our God is the salvation of Israel.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:24 @But the Baal has taken all the work of our fathers from our earliest days; their flocks and their herds, their sons and their daughters.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:25 @Let us be stretched on the earth in our downfall, covering ourselves with our shame: for we have been sinners against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our earliest years even till this day: and we have not given ear to the voice of the Lord our God.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:3 @For this is what the Lord says to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem: Get your unworked land ploughed up, do not put in your seeds among thorns.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:4 @Undergo a circumcision of the heart, you men of Judah and people of Jerusalem: or my wrath may come out like fire, burning so that no one is able to put it out, because of the evil of your doings.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:5 @Say openly in Judah, give it out in Jerusalem, and say, Let the horn be sounded in the land: crying out in a loud voice, Come together, and let us go into the walled towns.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:10 @Then said I, Ah, Lord God! your words were not true when you said to this people and to Jerusalem, You will have peace; when the sword has come even to the soul

bbe@Jeremiah:4:11 @At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A burning wind from the open hilltops in the waste land is blowing on the daughter of my people, not for separating or cleaning the grain;

bbe@Jeremiah:4:14 @O Jerusalem, make your heart clean from evil, so that you may have salvation. How long are evil purposes to have a resting-place in you?

bbe@Jeremiah:4:16 @Make this come to the minds of the nations, make a statement openly against Jerusalem, that attackers are coming from a far country and their voices will be loud against the towns of Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:20 @News is given of destruction on destruction; all the land is made waste: suddenly my tents, straight away my curtains, are made waste.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:22 @For my people are foolish, they have no knowledge of me; they are evil-minded children, without sense, all of them: they are wise in evil-doing, but have no knowledge of doing good.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:24 @Looking at the mountains, I saw them shaking, and all the hills were moved about.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:25 @Looking, I saw that there was no man, and all the birds of heaven had gone in flight.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:26 @Looking, I saw that the fertile field was a waste, and all its towns were broken down before the Lord and before his burning wrath.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:27 @For this is what the Lord has said: All the land will become a waste; I will make destruction complete.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:29 @All the land is in flight because of the noise of the horsemen and the bowmen; they have taken cover in the woodland and up on the rocks: every town has been given up, not a man is living in them.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:1 @Go quickly through the streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and get knowledge, and make a search in her wide places if there is a man, if there is one in her who is upright, who keeps faith; and she will have my forgiveness.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:2 @And though they say, By the living Lord; truly their oaths are false.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:5 @I will go to the great men and have talk with them; for they have knowledge of the way of the Lord and of the behaviour desired by their God. But as for these, their one purpose is a broken yoke and burst bands.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:7 @How is it possible for you to have my forgiveness for this? your children have given me up, taking their oaths by those who are no gods: when I had given them food in full measure, they were false to their wives, taking their pleasure in the houses of loose women.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:8 @They were full of desire, like horses after a meal of grain: everyone went after his neighbour's wife.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:11 @For the people of Israel and the people of Judah have been very false to me, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:16 @Their arrows give certain death, they are all men of war.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:17 @They will take all the produce of your fields, which would have been food for your sons and your daughters: they will take your flocks and your herds: they will take all your vines and your fig-trees: and with the sword they will make waste your walled towns in which you put your faith.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:19 @And it will come about, when you say, Why has the Lord our God done all these things to us? that you will say to them, As you gave me up, making yourselves servants to strange gods in your land, so will you be servants to strange men in a land which is not yours.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:22 @Have you no fear of me? says the Lord; will you not be shaking with fear before me, who have put the sand as a limit for the sea, by an eternal order, so that it may not go past it? and though it is ever in motion, it is not able to have its way; though the sound of its waves is loud, they are not able to go past it.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:27 @As the fowl-house is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: for this reason they have become great and have got wealth.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:31 @The prophets give false words and the priests give decisions by their direction; and my people are glad to have it so: and what will you do in the end?

bbe@Jeremiah:6:1 @Go in flight out of Jerusalem, so that you may be safe, you children of Benjamin, and let the horn be sounded in Tekoa, and the flag be lifted up on Beth-haccherem: for evil is looking out from the north, and a great destruction.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:6 @For this is what the Lord of armies has said: Let trees be cut down and an earthwork be placed against Jerusalem: sorrow on the false town! inside her there is nothing but cruel ways.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:7 @As the spring keeps its waters cold, so she keeps her evil in her: the sound of cruel and violent behaviour is in her; before me at all times are disease and wounds.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:8 @Undergo teaching, O Jerusalem, or my soul will be turned away from you, and I will make you a waste, an unpeopled land.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:9 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: Everything will be taken from the rest of Israel as the last grapes are taken from the vine; let your hand be turned to the small branches, like one pulling off grapes.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:15 @Let them be put to shame because they have done disgusting things. They had no shame, they were not able to become red with shame: so they will come down with those who are falling: when my punishment comes on them, they will be made low, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:21 @For this reason the Lord has said, See, I will put stones in the way of this people: and the fathers and the sons together will go falling over them; the neighbour and his friend will come to destruction.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:28 @All of them are turned away, going about with false stories; they are brass and iron: they are all workers of deceit.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:29 @The blower is blowing strongly, the lead is burned away in the fire: they go on heating the metal to no purpose, for the evil-doers are not taken away.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:2 @Take your place in the doorway of the Lord's house, and give out this word there, and say, Give ear to the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who come inside these doors to give worship to the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:4 @Put no faith in false words, saying, The Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord, are these.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:8 @See, you put your faith in false words which are of no profit.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:9 @Will you take the goods of others, put men to death, and be untrue to your wives, and take false oaths, and have perfumes burned to the Baal, and go after other gods which are strange to you;

bbe@Jeremiah:7:10 @And come and take your place before me in this house, which is named by my name, and say, We have been made safe; so that you may do all these disgusting things?

bbe@Jeremiah:7:13 @And now, because you have done all these works, says the Lord, and I sent my word to you, getting up early and sending, but you did not give ear; and my voice came to you, but you gave no answer:

bbe@Jeremiah:7:15 @And I will send you away from before my face, as I have sent away all your brothers, even all the seed of Ephraim.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:17 @Do you not see what they are doing in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

bbe@Jeremiah:7:23 @But this was the order I gave them, saying, Give ear to my voice, and I will be your God, and you will be my people: go in all the way ordered by me, so that all may be well for you.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:27 @And you are to say all these words to them, but they will not give ear to you: you will send out your voice to them, but they will give no answer.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:29 @Let your hair be cut off, O Jerusalem, and let it go, and let a song of grief go up on the open hilltops; for the Lord is turned away from the generation of his wrath and has given them up.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:31 @And they have put up the high place of Topheth in the valley of the son of Hinnom, burning their sons and their daughters there in the fire; a thing which was not ordered by me and never came into my mind.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:32 @For this cause, the days are coming, says the Lord, when it will no longer be named Topheth, or, The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of Death: for they will put the dead into the earth in Topheth till there is no more room.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:34 @And in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, I will put an end to the laughing voices, the voice of joy and the voice of the newly-married man and the voice of the bride: for the land will become a waste.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:1 @At that time, says the Lord, they will take the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his rulers, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem out of their resting-places:

bbe@Jeremiah:8:2 @And they will put them out before the sun and the moon and all the stars of heaven, whose lovers and servants they have been, after whom they have gone, to whom they have made prayers, and to whom they have given worship: they will not be put together or placed in the earth; they will be waste on the face of the earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:3 @And death will be desired more than life by the rest of this evil family who are still living in all the places where I have sent them away, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:4 @Further, you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Will those who are falling not be lifted up again? will he who has gone away not come back?

bbe@Jeremiah:8:5 @Why do these people of Jerusalem go back, for ever turning away? they will not give up their deceit, they will not come back.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:7 @Truly, the stork in the heavens is conscious of her fixed times; the dove and the swallow and the crane keep to the times of their coming; but my people have no knowledge of the law of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:8 @How is it that you say, We are wise and the law of the Lord is with us? But see, the false pen of the scribes has made it false.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:10 @So I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who will take them for themselves: for everyone, from the least to the greatest, is given up to getting money; from the priest even to the prophet, everyone is false.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:12 @Let them be put to shame because they have done disgusting things. They had no shame, they were not able to become red with shame: so they will come down with those who are falling: in the time of their punishment they will be made low, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:14 @Why are we seated doing nothing? come together, and let us go to the walled towns, and let destruction overtake us there, for the Lord our God has sent destruction on us, and given us bitter water for our drink, because we have done evil against the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:16 @The loud breathing of the horses comes to our ears from Dan: at the sound of the outcry of his war-horses, all the land is shaking with fear; for they have come, and have made a meal of the land and everything in it; the town and the people living in it.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:20 @The grain-cutting is past, the summer is ended, and no salvation has come to us.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:22 @Is there no life-giving oil in Gilead? is there no expert in medical arts? why then have my people not been made well?

bbe@Jeremiah:9:2 @If only I had in the waste land a night's resting-place for travellers, so that I might go away, far from my people! for they are all untrue, a band of false men.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:3 @Their tongues are bent like a bow to send out false words: they have become strong in the land, but not for good faith: they go on from evil to evil, and they have no knowledge of me, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:5 @Everyone will make sport of his neighbour with deceit, not saying what is true: their tongues have been trained to say false words; they are twisted, hating to come back.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:11 @And I will make Jerusalem a mass of broken stones, the living-place of jackals; and I will make the towns of Judah a waste, with no man living there.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:14 @But they have been walking in the pride of their hearts, going after the Baals, as their fathers gave them teaching.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:22 @The bodies of men will be falling like waste on the open fields, and like grain dropped by the grain-cutter, and no one will take them up.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:23 @This is the word of the Lord: Let not the wise man take pride in his wisdom, or the strong man in his strength, or the man of wealth in his wealth:

bbe@Jeremiah:9:25 @See, the day is coming, says the Lord, when I will send punishment on all those who have circumcision in the flesh;

bbe@Jeremiah:9:26 @On Egypt and on Judah and on Edom and on the children of Ammon and on Moab and on all who have the ends of their hair cut, who are living in the waste land: for all these nations and all the people of Israel are without circumcision in their hearts.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:5 @It is like a pillar in a garden of plants, and has no voice: it has to be lifted, for it has no power of walking. Have no fear of it; for it has no power of doing evil and it is not able to do any good.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:7 @Who would not have fear of you, O King of the nations? for it is your right: for among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like you.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:8 @But they are together like beasts and foolish: the teaching of false gods is wood.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:9 @Silver hammered into plates is sent from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the expert workman and of the hands of the gold-worker; blue and purple is their clothing, all the work of expert men

bbe@Jeremiah:10:10 @But the Lord is the true God; he is the living God and an eternal king: when he is angry, the earth is shaking with fear, and the nations give way before his wrath.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:14 @Then every man becomes like a beast without knowledge; every gold-worker is put to shame by the image he has made: for his metal image is deceit, and there is no breath in them.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:16 @The heritage of Jacob is not like these; for the maker of all things is his heritage: the Lord of armies is his name.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:17 @Get your goods together and go out of the land, O you who are shut up in the walled town.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:20 @My tent is pulled down and all my cords are broken: my children have gone from me, and they are not: no longer is there anyone to give help in stretching out my tent and hanging up my curtains.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:21 @For the keepers of the sheep have become like beasts, not looking to the Lord for directions: so they have not done wisely and all their flocks have been put to flight.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:22 @News is going about, see, it is coming, a great shaking is coming from the north country, so that the towns of Judah may be made waste and become the living-place of jackals.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:24 @O Lord, put me right, but with wise purpose; not in your wrath, or you will make me small.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:25 @Let your wrath be let loose on the nations which have no knowledge of you, and on the families who give no worship to your name: for they have made a meal of Jacob, truly they have made a meal of him and put an end to him and made his fields a waste.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:2 @Give ear to the words of this agreement, and say to the men of Judah and to the people of Jerusalem,

bbe@Jeremiah:11:4 @To the order which I gave your fathers on the day when I took them out of the land of Egypt, out of the oven of iron, saying, Give ear to my voice, and do all the orders I have given you: so you will be my people, and I will be your God:

bbe@Jeremiah:11:6 @And the Lord said to me, Give out these words in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Give ear to the words of this agreement and do them.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:8 @But they gave no attention and did not give ear, but they went on, every man in the pride of his evil heart: so I sent on them all the curses in this agreement, which I gave them orders to keep, but they did not.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:9 @And the Lord said to me, There is an evil design at work among the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:12 @Then the towns of Judah and the people of Jerusalem will go crying for help to the gods to whom they have been burning perfumes: but they will give them no salvation in the time of their trouble.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:13 @For the number of your gods is as the number of your towns, O Judah; and for every street in Jerusalem you have put up altars to the Baal for burning perfumes to the Baal.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:17 @For the Lord of armies, by whom you were planted, has given his decision for evil against you, because of the evil which the people of Israel and the people of Judah have done, In moving me to wrath by offering perfumes to the Baal.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:4 @How long will the land have grief, and the plants of all the land be dry? because of the sins of the people living in it, destruction has overtaken the beasts and the birds; because they said, God does not see our ways.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:9 @My heritage is like a brightly coloured bird to me; the cruel birds are attacking her on every side: go, get together all the beasts of the field, make them come for destruction.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:11 @They have made it waste; it is weeping to me, being wasted; all the land is made waste, because no man takes it to heart.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:12 @Those who make waste have come on all the open hilltops in the waste land; for the sword of the Lord sends destruction from one end of the land to the other end of the land: no flesh has peace.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:14 @This is what the Lord has said against all my evil neighbours, who put their hands on the heritage which I gave my people Israel: See, I will have them uprooted from their land, uprooting the people of Judah from among them.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:16 @And it will be that, if they give their minds to learning the ways of my people, using my name in their oaths, By the living Lord; as they have been teaching my people to take oaths by the Baal; then their place will be made certain among my people.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:9 @The Lord has said, In this way I will do damage to the pride of Judah and to the great pride of Jerusalem.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:11 @For as a band goes tightly round a man's body, so I made all the people of Israel and all the people of Judah tightly united to me; so that they might be a people for me and a name and a praise and a glory: but they would not give ear.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:13 @Then you are to say to them, The Lord has said, I will make all the people of this land, even the kings seated on David's seat, and the priests and the prophets and all the people of Jerusalem, overcome with strong drink.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:19 @The towns of the south are shut up, and there is no one to make them open: Judah is taken away as prisoners; all Judah is taken away as prisoners.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:20 @Let your eyes be lifted up (O Jerusalem), and see those who are coming from the north. Where is the flock which was given to you, your beautiful flock?

bbe@Jeremiah:13:24 @So I will send them in all directions, as dry grass is taken away by the wind of the waste land.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:25 @This is your fate, the part measured out to you by me, says the Lord, because you have put me out of your memory and put your faith in what is false.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:27 @I have seen your disgusting acts, even your false behaviour and your cries of desire and your loose ways on the hills in the field. Unhappy are you, O Jerusalem, you have no desire to be made clean; how long will you be in turning back to me?

bbe@Jeremiah:14:2 @Judah is weeping and its doors are dark with sorrow, and people are seated on the earth clothed in black; and the cry of Jerusalem has gone up.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:6 @And the asses of the field on the open hilltops are opening their mouths wide like jackals to get air; their eyes are hollow because there is no grass.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:12 @When they go without food, I will not give ear to their cry; when they give burned offerings and meal offerings, I will not take pleasure in them: but I will put an end to them by the sword and by need of food and by disease.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:14 @Then the Lord said to me, The prophets say false words in my name, and I gave them no orders, and I said nothing to them: what they say to you is a false vision and wonder-working words without substance, the deceit of their hearts.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:16 @And the people to whom they are prophets will be pushed out dead into the streets of Jerusalem, because there is no food, and because of the sword; and they will have no one to put their bodies into the earth, them or their wives or their sons or their daughters: for I will let loose their evil-doing on them.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:22 @Are any of the false gods of the nations able to make rain come? are the heavens able to give showers? are you not he, O Lord our God? so we will go on waiting for you, for you have done all these things.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:4 @And I will make them a cause of fear to all the kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh, the son of Hezekiah, king of Judah, and what he did in Jerusalem.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:5 @For who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? and who will have sorrow for you? or who will go out of his way to see how you are?

bbe@Jeremiah:15:10 @Sorrow is mine, my mother, because you have given birth to me, a cause of fighting and argument in all the earth! I have not made men my creditors and I am not in debt to any, but every one of them is cursing me.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:13 @I will give your wealth and your stores to your attackers, without a price, because of all your sins, even in every part of your land.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:15 @O Lord, you have knowledge: keep me in mind and come to my help, and give their right reward to those who are attacking me; take me not away, for you are slow to be angry: see how I have undergone shame because of you from all those who make little of your word;

bbe@Jeremiah:15:18 @Why is my pain unending and my wound without hope of being made well? Sorrow is mine, for you are to me as a stream offering false hope and as waters which are not certain.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:19 @For this cause the Lord has said, If you will come back, then I will again let you take your place before me; and if you give out what is of value and not that which has no value, you will be as my mouth: let them come back to you, but do not go back to them

bbe@Jeremiah:15:20 @And I will make you a strong wall of brass to this people; they will be fighting against you, but they will not overcome you: for I am with you to keep you safe, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:21 @I will keep you safe from the hands of the evil-doers, and I will give you salvation from the hands of the cruel ones.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:6 @Death will overtake great as well as small in the land: their bodies will not be put in a resting-place, and no one will be weeping for them or wounding themselves or cutting off their hair for them:

bbe@Jeremiah:16:10 @And it will be, that when you say all these words to the people, then they will say to you, Why has the Lord done all this evil against us? what is our wrongdoing and what is our sin which we have done against the Lord our God?

bbe@Jeremiah:16:15 @But, By the living Lord, who took the children of Israel up out of the land of the north, and from all the countries where he had sent them: and I will take them back again to their land which I gave to their fathers.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:17 @For my eyes are on all their ways: there is no cover for them from my face, and their evil-doing is not kept secret from my eyes.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:19 @O Lord, my strength and my strong tower, my safe place in the day of trouble, the nations will come to you from the ends of the earth, and say, The heritage of our fathers is nothing but deceit, even false things in which there is no profit.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:1 @The sin of Judah is recorded with a pen of iron, and with the sharp point of a jewel it is cut on their hearts of stone, and on the horns of their altars for a sign to them:

bbe@Jeremiah:17:2 @Their altars and their wood pillars under every branching tree, on the high hills and the mountains in the field.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:3 @I will give your wealth and all your stores to be taken away in war without a price, because of your sins in every part of your land.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:6 @For he will be like the brushwood in the upland, and will not see when good comes; but his living-place will be in the dry places in the waste land, in a salt and unpeopled land.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:11 @Like the partridge, getting eggs together but not producing young, is a man who gets wealth but not by right; before half his days are ended, it will go from him, and at his end he will be foolish.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:13 @O Lord, the hope of Israel, all who give you up will be put to shame; those who go away from you will be cut off from the earth, because they have given up the Lord, the fountain of living waters.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:19 @This is what the Lord has said to me: Go and take your place in the doorway of Benjamin, where the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the doorways of Jerusalem;

bbe@Jeremiah:17:20 @And say to them, Give ear to the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah, and all the people of Jerusalem who come in by these doors:

bbe@Jeremiah:17:21 @This is what the Lord has said: See to yourselves, that you take up no weight on the Sabbath day, or take it in through the doors of Jerusalem;

bbe@Jeremiah:17:24 @And it will be, that if with all care you give ear to me, says the Lord, and take no weight through the doorways of this town on the Sabbath day, but keep the Sabbath day holy and do no work in it;

bbe@Jeremiah:17:25 @Then through the doors of this town there will come kings and princes, seated on the seat of David, going in carriages and on horseback, they and their princes, and the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem: and this town will keep its place for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:26 @And they will come from the towns of Judah, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowlands, and from the mountains, and from the South, with burned offerings and offerings of beasts and meal offerings and perfume and offerings of praise, to the house of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:27 @But if you do not give ear to me, to keep the Sabbath day holy, and to let no weight be lifted and taken through the doors of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: then I will put a fire in its doorways, burning up the great houses of Jerusalem, and it will never be put out.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:8 @If, in that very minute, that nation of which I was talking is turned away from its evil, my purpose of doing evil to them will be changed.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:11 @Now, then, say to the men of Judah and to the people of Jerusalem, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am forming an evil thing against you, and designing a design against you: let every man come back now from his evil way, and let your ways and your doings be changed for the better.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:15 @For my people have put me out of their memory, burning perfumes to that which is nothing; and because of this, I will put a cause of falling in their ways, even in the old roads, and will make them go on side-roads, in a way not lifted up;

bbe@Jeremiah:18:17 @I will send them in flight, as from an east wind, before the attacker; I will let them see my back and not my face on the day of their downfall.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:23 @But you, Lord, have knowledge of all the designs which they have made against my life; let not their evil-doing be covered or their sin be washed away from before your eyes: but let it be a cause of falling before you: so do to them in the time of your wrath.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:2 @And go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom, by the way into the door of broken pots, and there say in a loud voice the words which I will give you;

bbe@Jeremiah:19:3 @Say, Give ear to the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah and people of Jerusalem; the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, See, I will send evil on this place which will be bitter to the ears of anyone hearing of it.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:5 @And they have put up the high places of the Baal, burning their sons in the fire; a thing which was not ordered by me, and it was never in my mind:

bbe@Jeremiah:19:6 @For this cause, see, a time is coming, says the Lord, when this place will no longer be named Topheth, or, The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of Death.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:7 @I will make the purpose of Judah and Jerusalem come to nothing in this place; I will have them put to the sword by their haters, and by the hands of those who have designs on their life; and their dead bodies I will give to be food for the birds of heaven and the beasts of the earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:8 @And I will make this town a thing of wonder and a cause of surprise; everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder and make sounds of surprise, because of all its troubles.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:9 @I will make them take the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters for food, they will be making a meal of one another, because of their bitter need and the cruel grip of their haters and those who have made designs against their life.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:13 @And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which they have made unclean, will be like the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs perfumes have been burned to all the army of heaven, and drink offerings drained out to other gods.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:14 @Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to give the prophet's word; and he took his place in the open square of the Lord's house, and said to all the people,

bbe@Jeremiah:19:15 @The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, I will send on this town and on all her towns all the evil which I have said; because they made their necks stiff, so that they might not give ear to my words.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:4 @For the Lord has said, See, I will make you a cause of fear to yourself and to all your friends: they will come to their death by the sword of their haters, and your eyes will see it: and I will give all Judah into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will take them away prisoners into Babylon and put them to the sword.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:5 @And more than this, I will give all the wealth of this town and all its profits and all its things of value, even all the stores of the kings of Judah will I give into the hands of their haters, who will put violent hands on them and take them away to Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:6 @And you, Pashhur, and all who are in your house, will go away prisoners: you will come to Babylon, and there your body will be put to rest, you and all your friends, to whom you said false words.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:7 @O Lord, you have been false to me, and I was tricked; you are stronger than I, and have overcome me: I have become a thing to be laughed at all the day, everyone makes sport of me.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:8 @For every word I say is a cry for help; I say with a loud voice, Violent behaviour and wasting: because the word of the Lord is made a shame to me and a cause of laughing all the day.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:10 @For numbers of them say evil secretly in my hearing (there is fear on every side): they say, Come, let us give witness against him; all my nearest friends, who are watching for my fall, say, It may be that he will be taken by deceit, and we will get the better of him and give him punishment.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:11 @But the Lord is with me as a great one, greatly to be feared: so my attackers will have a fall, and they will not overcome me: they will be greatly shamed, because they have not done wisely, even with an unending shame, kept in memory for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:21:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:21:2 @Will you get directions from the Lord for us; for Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, is making war against us; it may be that the Lord will do something for us like all the wonders he has done, and make him go away from us.

bbe@Jeremiah:21:9 @He who keeps in this town will come to his death by the sword and through need of food and through disease; but he who goes out and gives himself up to the Chaldaeans who are shutting you in, will go on living, and will keep his life safe.

bbe@Jeremiah:21:13 @See, I am against you, you who are living on the rock of the valley, says the Lord; you who say, Who will come down against us? or who will get into our houses?

bbe@Jeremiah:22:8 @And nations from all sides will go past this town, and every man will say to his neighbour, Why has the Lord done such things to this great town?

bbe@Jeremiah:22:11 @For this is what the Lord has said about Shallum, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who became king in place of Josiah his father, who went out from this place: He will never come back there again:

bbe@Jeremiah:22:19 @They will do to him what they do to the dead body of an ass; his body will be pulled out and placed on the earth outside the doors of Jerusalem.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:20 @Go up to Lebanon and give a cry; let your voice be loud in Bashan, crying out from Abarim; for all your lovers have come to destruction

bbe@Jeremiah:22:22 @All the keepers of your sheep will be food for the wind, and your lovers will be taken away prisoners: truly, then you will be shamed and unhonoured because of all your evil-doing.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:25 @And I will give you into the hands of those desiring your death, and into the hands of those whom you are fearing, even into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and into the hands of the Chaldaeans.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:28 @Is this man Coniah a broken vessel of no value? is he a vessel in which there is no pleasure? why are they violently sent out, he and his seed, into a land which is strange to them?

bbe@Jeremiah:22:30 @The Lord has said, Let this man be recorded as having no children, a man who will not do well in all his life: for no man of his seed will do well, seated on the seat of the kingdom of David and ruling again in Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:3 @And I will get the rest of my flock together from all the countries where I have sent them, and will make them come back again to their resting-place; and they will have offspring and be increased.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:6 @In his days Judah will have salvation and Israel will be living without fear: and this is the name by which he will be named, The Lord is our righteousness.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:8 @But, By the living Lord, who took up the seed of Israel, and made them come out of the north country, and from all the countries where I had sent them; and they will be living in the land which is theirs.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:9 @About the prophets. My heart is broken in me, all my bones are shaking; I am like a man full of strong drink, like a man overcome by wine; because of the Lord, and because of his holy words.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:12 @For this cause their steps will be slipping on their way: they will be forced on into the dark and have a fall there: for I will send evil on them in the year of their punishment, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:13 @And I have seen ways without sense in the prophets of Samaria; they became prophets of the Baal, causing my people Israel to go wrong.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:14 @And in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a shocking thing; they are untrue to their wives, walking in deceit, and they make strong the hands of evil-doers, so that a man may not be turned back from his evil-doing: they have all become like Sodom to me, and its people like Gomorrah.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:15 @So this is what the Lord of armies has said about the prophets: See, I will give them a bitter plant for their food, and bitter water for their drink: for from the prophets of Jerusalem unclean behaviour has gone out into all the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:16 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: Do not give ear to the words which the prophets say to you: they give you teaching of no value: it is from themselves that their vision comes, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:25 @My ears have been open to what the prophets have said, who say false words in my name, saying, I have had a dream, I have had a dream, I have had a dream,

bbe@Jeremiah:23:26 @Is (my word) in the hearts of the prophets who give out false words, even the prophets of the deceit of their hearts?

bbe@Jeremiah:23:27 @Whose purpose is to take away the memory of my name from my people by their dreams, of which every man is talking to his neighbour, as their fathers gave up the memory of my name for the Baal.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:32 @See, I am against the prophets of false dreams, says the Lord, who give them out and make my people go out of the way by their deceit and their uncontrolled words: but I did not send them or give them orders; and they will be of no profit to this people, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:24:1 @The Lord gave me a vision, and I saw two baskets full of figs put in front of the Temple of the Lord, after Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, had taken prisoner Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the chiefs of Judah, and the expert workmen and metal-workers from Jerusalem, and had taken them to Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:24:5 @This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said: Like these good figs, so in my eyes will be the prisoners of Judah, whom I have sent from this place into the land of the Chaldaeans for their good.

bbe@Jeremiah:24:7 @And I will give them a heart to have knowledge of me, that I am the Lord: and they will be my people, and I will be their God: for they will come back to me with all their heart.

bbe@Jeremiah:24:8 @And like the bad figs which are so bad that they are of no use for food, so I will give up Zedekiah, king of Judah, and his chiefs and the rest of Jerusalem who are still in this land, and those who are in the land of Egypt:

bbe@Jeremiah:24:9 @I will give them up to be a cause of fear and of trouble among all the kingdoms of the earth; to be a name of shame and common talk and a cutting word and a curse in all the places wherever I will send them wandering.

bbe@Jeremiah:24:10 @And I will send the sword, and need of food, and disease, among them till they are all cut off from the land which I gave to them and to their fathers.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah about all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah king of Judah; this was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:2 @This word Jeremiah gave out to all the people of Judah and to those living in Jerusalem, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:25:3 @From the thirteenth year of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, even till this day, for twenty-three years, the word of the Lord has been coming to me, and I have given it to you, getting up early and talking to you; but you have not given ear.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:4 @And the Lord has sent to you all his servants the prophets, getting up early and sending them; but you have not given attention and your ear has not been open to give hearing;

bbe@Jeremiah:25:9 @See, I will send and take all the families of the north, says the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, my servant, and make them come against this land, and against its people, and against all these nations on every side; and I will give them up to complete destruction, and make them a cause of fear and surprise and a waste place for ever

bbe@Jeremiah:25:11 @All this land will be a waste and a cause of wonder; and these nations will be the servants of the king of Babylon for seventy years.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:12 @And it will come about, after seventy years are ended, that I will send punishment on the king of Babylon, and on that nation, says the Lord, for their evil-doing, and on the land of the Chaldaeans; and I will make it a waste for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:13 @And I will make that land undergo everything I have said against it, even everything recorded in this book, which Jeremiah the prophet has said against all the nations.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:15 @For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said to me: Take the cup of the wine of this wrath from my hand, and make all the nations to whom I send you take of it.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:17 @Then I took the cup from the Lord's hand, and gave a drink from it to all the nations to whom the Lord sent me;

bbe@Jeremiah:25:18 @Jerusalem and the towns of Judah and their kings and their princes, to make them a waste place, a cause of fear and surprise and a curse, as it is this day;

bbe@Jeremiah:25:19 @Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and his servants and his princes and all his people;

bbe@Jeremiah:25:20 @And all the mixed people and all the kings of the land of Uz, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ashkelon and Gaza and Ekron and the rest of Ashdod;

bbe@Jeremiah:25:22 @And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, and the kings of the lands across the sea;

bbe@Jeremiah:25:23 @Dedan and Tema and Buz, and all who have the ends of their hair cut;

bbe@Jeremiah:25:24 @And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed people living in the waste land;

bbe@Jeremiah:25:25 @And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;

bbe@Jeremiah:25:26 @And all the kings of the north, far and near, one with another; and all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:27 @And you are to say to them, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Take of this cup and be overcome, and let it come out again from your lips, and from your fall you will never be lifted up again, because of the sword which I will send among you.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:29 @For see, I am starting to send evil on the town which is named by my name, and are you to be without any punishment? You will not be without punishment: for I will send a sword on all people living on the earth, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:30 @So, as a prophet, give out these words among them, and say to them, The voice of the Lord will be sounding like a lion from on high; he will send out his voice from his holy place, like the loud voice of a lion, against his flock; he will give a cry, like those who are crushing the grapes, against all the people of the earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:31 @A noise will come, even to the end of the earth; for the Lord has a cause against the nations, he will give his decision against all flesh; as for the evil-doers, he will give them to the sword, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:34 @Give cries of grief, you keepers of sheep; give cries for help, rolling yourselves in the dust, you chiefs of the flock: for the days of your destruction have fully come, and I will send you in all directions, and your fall will be like that of the males of the flock.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:2 @This is what the Lord has said: Take your place in the open square of the Lord's house and say to all the towns of Judah, who come into the Lord's house for worship, everything I give you orders to say to them: keep back not a word;

bbe@Jeremiah:26:6 @Then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this town a curse to all the nations of the earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:7 @And in the hearing of the priests and the prophets and all the people, Jeremiah said these words in the house of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:8 @Now, when Jeremiah had come to the end of saying everything the Lord had given him orders to say to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people took him by force, saying, Death will certainly be your fate.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:9 @Why have you said in the name of the Lord, This house will be like Shiloh, and this land a waste with no one living in it? And all the people had come together to Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:11 @Then the priests and the prophets said to the rulers and to all the people, The right fate for this man is death; for he has said words against this town in your hearing

bbe@Jeremiah:26:12 @Then Jeremiah said to all the rulers and to all the people, The Lord has sent me as his prophet to say against this house and against this town all the words which have come to your ears.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:15 @Only be certain that, if you put me to death, you will make yourselves and your town and its people responsible for the blood of one who has done no wrong: for truly, the Lord has sent me to you to say all these words in your ears.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:16 @Then the rulers and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, It is not right for this man to be put to death: for he has said words to us in the name of the Lord our God.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:17 @Then some of the responsible men of the land got up and said to all the meeting of the people,

bbe@Jeremiah:26:18 @Micah the Morashtite, who was a prophet in the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah, said to all the people of Judah, This is what the Lord of armies has said: Zion will become like a ploughed field, and Jerusalem will become a mass of broken walls, and the mountain of the house like the high places of the woodland.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:19 @Did Hezekiah and all Judah put him to death? did he not in the fear of the Lord make prayer for the grace of the Lord, and the Lord let himself be turned from the decision he had made against them for evil? By this act we might do great evil against ourselves.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:20 @And there was another man who was a prophet of the Lord, Uriah, the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath-jearim; he said against this town and against this land all the words which Jeremiah had said:

bbe@Jeremiah:26:21 @And when his words came to the ears of Jehoiakim the king and all his men of war and his captains, the king would have put him to death; but Uriah, hearing of it, was full of fear and went in flight into Egypt:

bbe@Jeremiah:27:3 @And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by their servants who come to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah, king of Judah;

bbe@Jeremiah:27:6 @And now I have given all these lands into the hands of Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant; and I have given the beasts of the field to him for his use.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:7 @And all the nations will be servants to him and to his son and to his son's son, till the time comes for his land to be overcome: and then a number of nations and great kings will take it for their use.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:10 @For they say false words to you, so that you may be sent away far from your land, and so that you may be forced out by me and come to destruction.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:12 @And I said all this to Zedekiah, king of Judah, saying, Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and become his servants and his people, so that you may keep your lives.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:15 @For I have not sent them, says the Lord, but they are saying what is false in my name, so that I might send you out by force, causing destruction to come on you and on your prophets.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:16 @And I said to the priests and to all the people, This is what the Lord has said: Give no attention to the words of your prophets who say to you, See, in a very little time now the vessels of the Lord's house will come back again from Babylon: for what they say to you is false.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:18 @But if they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is with them, let them now make request to the Lord of armies that the vessels which are still in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and at Jerusalem, may not go to Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:20 @Which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take away, when he took Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, a prisoner from Jerusalem to Babylon, with all the great men of Judah and Jerusalem;

bbe@Jeremiah:27:21 @For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said about the rest of the vessels in the house of the Lord and in the house of the king of Judah and at Jerusalem:

bbe@Jeremiah:28:1 @And it came about in that year, when Zedekiah first became king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azzur the prophet, who came from Gibeon, said to Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, before the priests and all the people,

bbe@Jeremiah:28:3 @In the space of two years I will send back into this place all the vessels of the Lord's house which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, took away from this place to Babylon:

bbe@Jeremiah:28:4 @And I will let Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, come back to this place, with all the prisoners of Judah who went to Babylon, says the Lord: for I will have the yoke of the king of Babylon broken.

bbe@Jeremiah:28:5 @Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, before the priests and all the people who had come into the house of the Lord,

bbe@Jeremiah:28:6 @The prophet Jeremiah said, So be it: may the Lord do so: may the Lord give effect to the words which you have said, and let the vessels of the Lord's house, and all the people who have been taken away, come back from Babylon to this place.

bbe@Jeremiah:28:7 @But still, give ear to this word which I am saying to you and to all the people:

bbe@Jeremiah:28:11 @And before all the people Hananiah said, The Lord has said, Even so will I let the yoke of the king of Babylon be broken off the necks of all the nations in the space of two years. Then the prophet Jeremiah went away.

bbe@Jeremiah:28:14 @For the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: I have put a yoke of iron on the necks of all these nations, making them servants to Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon; and they are to be his servants: and in addition I have given him the beasts of the field.

bbe@Jeremiah:28:15 @Then the prophet Jeremiah said to Hananiah the prophet, Give ear, now, Hananiah; the Lord has not sent you; but you are making this people put their faith in what is false

bbe@Jeremiah:29:1 @Now these are the words of the letter which Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the responsible men among those who had been taken away, and to the priests and the prophets and to all the rest of the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken away prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon;

bbe@Jeremiah:29:2 @(After Jeconiah the king and the queen-mother and the unsexed servants and the rulers of Judah and Jerusalem and the expert workmen and the metal-workers had gone away from Jerusalem;)

bbe@Jeremiah:29:4 @This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said to all those whom I have taken away prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon:

bbe@Jeremiah:29:9 @For they are saying to you what is false in my name: I have not sent them, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:13 @And you will be searching for me and I will be there, when you have gone after me with all your heart.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:14 @I will be near you again, says the Lord, and your fate will be changed, and I will get you together from all the nations and from all the places where I had sent you away, says the Lord; and I will take you back again to the place from which I sent you away prisoners.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:16 @For this is what the Lord has said about the king who is seated on the seat of David's kingdom, and about all the people living in this town, your countrymen who have not gone out with you as prisoners;

bbe@Jeremiah:29:18 @I will go after them, attacking them with the sword and with need of food and with disease, and will make them a cause of fear to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse and a wonder and a surprise and a name of shame among all the nations where I have sent them:

bbe@Jeremiah:29:20 @And now, give ear to the word of the Lord, all you whom I have sent away prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:21 @This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said about Ahab, the son of Kolaiah, and about Zedekiah, the son of Maaseiah, who are saying to you what is false in my name: See, I will give them up into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and he will put them to death before your eyes.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:22 @And their fate will be used as a curse by all the prisoners of Judah who are in Babylon, who will say, May the Lord make you like Zedekiah and like Ahab, who were burned in the fire by the king of Babylon;

bbe@Jeremiah:29:23 @Because they have done shame in Israel, and have taken their neighbours' wives, and in my name have said false words, which I did not give them orders to say; and I myself am the witness, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:31 @Send to all those who have been taken away, saying, This is what the Lord has said about Shemaiah the Nehelamite: Because Shemaiah has been acting as a prophet to you, and I did not send him, and has made you put your faith in what is false;

bbe@Jeremiah:30:2 @The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, Put down in a book all the words which I have said to you.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:6 @Put the question and see if it is possible for a man to have birth-pains: why do I see every man with his hands gripping his sides, as a woman does when the pains of birth are on her, and all faces are turned green?

bbe@Jeremiah:30:7 @Ha! for that day is so great that there is no day like it: it is the time of Jacob's trouble: but he will get salvation from it.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:11 @For I am with you, says the Lord, to be your saviour: for I will put an end to all the nations where I have sent you wandering, but I will not put an end to you completely: though with wise purpose I will put right your errors, and will not let you go quite without punishment.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:16 @For this cause, all those who take you for their food will themselves become your food; and all your attackers, every one of them, will be taken prisoners; and those who send destruction on you will come to destruction; and all those who take away your goods by force will undergo the same themselves.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:17 @For I will make you healthy again and I will make you well from your wounds, says the Lord; because they have given you the name of an outlaw, saying, It is Zion cared for by no man.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:19 @And from them will go out praise and the sound of laughing: and I will make them great in number, and they will not become less; and I will give them glory, and they will not be small

bbe@Jeremiah:30:20 @And their children will be as they were in the old days, and the meeting of the people will have its place before me, and I will send punishment on all who are cruel to them.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:1 @At that time, says the Lord, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:3 @From far away he saw the Lord: my love for you is an eternal love: so with mercy I have made you come with me.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:7 @For the Lord has said, Make a glad song for Jacob and give a cry on the top of the mountains: give the news, give praise, and say, The Lord has given salvation to his people, even to the rest of Israel.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:9 @They will come with weeping, and going before them I will be their guide: guiding them by streams of water in a straight way where there is no falling: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is the first of my sons.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:24 @And Judah and all its towns will be living there together; the farmers and those who go about with flocks.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:34 @And no longer will they be teaching every man his neighbour and every man his brother, saying, Get knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord: for they will have my forgiveness for their evil-doing, and their sin will go from my memory for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:37 @This is what the Lord has said: If the heavens on high may be measured, and the bases of the earth searched out, then I will give up the seed of Israel, because of all they have done, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:40 @And all the valley of the dead bodies, and all the field of death as far as the stream Kidron, up to the angle of the horses' doorway to the east, will be holy to the Lord; it will not again be uprooted or overturned for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:2 @Now at that time the king of Babylon's army was round Jerusalem, shutting it in: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, in the house of the king of Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:4 @And Zedekiah, king of Judah, will not get away from the hands of the Chaldaeans, but will certainly be given up into the hands of the king of Babylon, and will have talk with him, mouth to mouth, and see him, eye to eye.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:5 @And he will take Zedekiah away to Babylon, where he will be till I have pity on him, says the Lord: though you are fighting with the Chaldaeans, things will not go well for you?

bbe@Jeremiah:32:7 @See, Hanamel, the son of Shallum, your father's brother, will come to you and say, Give the price and get for yourself my property in Anathoth: for you have the right of the nearest relation.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:10 @And I put it in writing, stamping it with my stamp, and I took witnesses and put the money into the scales.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:12 @And I gave the paper to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, before the eyes of Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, and of the witnesses who had put their names to the paper, and before all the Jews who were seated in the place of the armed watchmen.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:19 @Great in wisdom and strong in act: whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, giving to everyone the reward of his ways and the fruit of his doings:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:23 @And they came in and took it for their heritage, but they did not give ear to your voice, and were not ruled by your law; they have done nothing of all you gave them orders to do: so you have made all this evil come on them:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:24 @See, they have made earthworks against the town to take it; and the town is given into the hands of the Chaldaeans who are fighting against it, because of the sword and need of food and disease: and what you have said has taken place, and truly you see it.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:25 @And you have said to me, Give the money to get yourself a property, and have the business witnessed; though the town is given into the hands of the Chaldaeans.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:27 @See, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there anything so hard that I am unable to do it?

bbe@Jeremiah:32:28 @So this is what the Lord has said: See, I am giving this town into the hands of the Chaldaeans and into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, the king of Babylon, and he will take it:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:29 @And the Chaldaeans, who are fighting against this town, will come and put the town on fire, burning it together with the houses, on the roofs of which perfumes have been burned to the Baal, and drink offerings have been drained out to other gods, moving me to wrath.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:32 @Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to make me angry, they and their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:35 @And they put up the high places of the Baal in the valley of the son of Hinnom, making their sons and their daughters go through the fire to Molech; which I did not give them orders to do, and it never came into my mind that they would do this disgusting thing, causing Judah to be turned out of the way.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:37 @See, I will get them together from all the countries where I have sent them in my wrath and in the heat of my passion and in my bitter feeling; and I will let them come back into this place where they may take their rest safely.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:40 @And I will make an eternal agreement with them, that I will never give them up, but ever do them good; and I will put the fear of me in their hearts, so that they will not go away from me.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:41 @And truly, I will take pleasure in doing them good, and all my heart and soul will be given to planting them in this land in good faith.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:42 @For the Lord has said: As I have made all this great evil come on this people, so I will send on them all the good which I said about them.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:43 @And there will be trading in fields in this land of which you say, It is a waste, without man or beast; it is given into the hands of the Chaldaeans.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:44 @Men will get fields for money, and put the business in writing, stamping the papers and having them witnessed, in the land of Benjamin and in the country round Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah and in the towns of the hill-country and in the towns of the lowland and in the towns of the South: for I will let their fate be changed, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:6 @See, I will make it healthy and well again, I will even make them well; I will let them see peace and good faith in full measure.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:8 @And I will make them clean from all their sin, with which they have been sinning against me; I will have forgiveness for all their sins, with which they have been sinning against me, and with which they have done evil against me.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:9 @And this town will be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth, who, hearing of all the good which I am doing for them, will be shaking with fear because of all the good and the peace which I am doing for it.

bbe@Jeremiah:34:7 @When the army of the king of Babylon was fighting against Jerusalem and against all the towns of Judah which had not been taken, against Lachish and against Azekah; for these were the last of the walled towns of Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:34:8 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after King Zedekiah had made an agreement with all the people in Jerusalem, to give news in public that servants were to be made free;

bbe@Jeremiah:34:10 @And this was done by all the rulers and the people who had taken part in the agreement, and every one let his man-servant and his servant-girl go free, not to be used as servants any longer; they did so, and let them go.

bbe@Jeremiah:34:17 @And so the Lord has said, You have not given ear to me and undertaken publicly, every man to let loose his countryman and his neighbour: see, I undertake to let loose against you the sword and disease and need of food; and I will send you wandering among all the kingdoms of the earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:11 @But when Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came up into the land, we said, Come, let us go to Jerusalem, away from the army of the Chaldaeans and from the army of the Aramaeans: and so we are living in Jerusalem.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:13 @This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Go and say to the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, Is there no hope of teaching you to give ear to my words? says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:17 @For this reason the Lord, the God of armies, the God of Israel, has said, See, I will send on Judah and on all the people of Jerusalem all the evil which I said I would do to them: because I sent my words to them, but they did not give ear; crying out to them, but they gave no answer.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:2 @Take a book and put down in it all the words I have said to you against Israel and against Judah and against all the nations, from the day when my word came to you in the days of Josiah till this day.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:9 @Now it came about in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that it was given out publicly that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people who came from the towns of Judah to Jerusalem, were to keep from food before the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:10 @Then Baruch gave a public reading of the words of Jeremiah from the book, in the house of the Lord, in the room of Gemariah, the son of Shaphan the scribe, in the higher square, as one goes in by the new doorway of the Lord's house, in the hearing of all the people.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:13 @Then Micaiah gave them an account of all the words which had come to his ears when Baruch was reading the book to the people.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:14 @So all the rulers sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take in your hand the book from which you have been reading to the people and come. So Baruch, the son of Neriah, took the book in his hand and came down to them.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:16 @Now it came about that, after hearing all the words, they said to one another in fear, We will certainly give the king an account of all these words.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:17 @And questioning Baruch, they said, Say now, how did you put all these words down in writing from his mouth?

bbe@Jeremiah:36:18 @Then Baruch, answering, said, He said all these things to me by word of mouth, and I put them down with ink in the book.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:20 @Then they went into the open square to the king; but the book they put away in the room of Elishama the scribe; and they gave the king an account of all the words.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:21 @So the king sent Jehudi to get the book, and he took it from the room of Elishama the scribe. And Jehudi gave a reading of it in the hearing of the king and all the rulers who were by the king's side.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:23 @And it came about that whenever Jehudi, in his reading, had got through three or four divisions, the king, cutting them with his penknife, put them into the fire, till all the book was burned up in the fire which was burning in the fireplace.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:24 @But they had no fear and gave no signs of grief, not the king or any of his servants, after hearing all these words.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:28 @Take another book and put down in it all the words which were in the first book, which Jehoiakim, king of Judah, put into the fire.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:31 @And I will send punishment on him and on his seed and on his servants for their evil-doing; I will send on them and on the people of Jerusalem and the men of Judah, all the evil which I said against them, but they did not give ear.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:32 @Then Jeremiah took another book, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who put down in it, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the book which had been burned in the fire by Jehoiakim, king of Judah: and in addition a number of other words of the same sort.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:3 @And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Make prayer now to the Lord our God for us.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:5 @And Pharaoh's army had come out from Egypt: and the Chaldaeans, who were attacking Jerusalem, hearing news of them, went away from Jerusalem.)

bbe@Jeremiah:37:8 @And the Chaldaeans will come back again and make war against this town and they will take it and put it on fire.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:9 @The Lord has said, Have no false hopes, saying to yourselves, The Chaldaeans will go away from us: for they will not go away.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:10 @For even if you had overcome all the army of the Chaldaeans fighting against you, and there were only wounded men among them, still they would get up, every man in his tent, and put this town on fire.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:11 @And it came about that when the Chaldaean army outside Jerusalem had gone away for fear of Pharaoh's army,

bbe@Jeremiah:37:12 @Jeremiah went out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, with the purpose of taking up his heritage there among the people.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:13 @But when he was at the Benjamin door, a captain of the watch named Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, who was stationed there, put his hand on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, You are going to give yourself up to the Chaldaeans.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:14 @Then Jeremiah said, That is not true; I am not going to the Chaldaeans. But he would not give ear to him: so Irijah made him prisoner and took him to the rulers.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:21 @Then by the order of Zedekiah the king, Jeremiah was put into the place of the armed watchmen, and they gave him every day a cake of bread from the street of the bread-makers, till all the bread in the town was used up. So Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:1 @Now it came to the ears of Shephatiah, the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah, the son of Pashhur, and Jucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, that Jeremiah had said to all the people,

bbe@Jeremiah:38:2 @These are the words of the Lord: Whoever goes on living in this town will come to his death by the sword or through need of food or by disease: but whoever goes out to the Chaldaeans will keep his life out of the power of the attackers and be safe.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:6 @So they took Jeremiah and put him into the water-hole of Malchiah, the king's son, in the place of the armed watchmen: and they let Jeremiah down with cords. And in the hole there was no water, but wet earth: and Jeremiah went down into the wet earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:9 @My lord the king, these men have done evil in all they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have put into the water-hole; and he will come to his death in the place where he is through need of food: for there is no more bread in the town.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:18 @But if you do not go out to the king of Babylon's captains, then this town will be given into the hands of the Chaldaeans and they will put it on fire, and you will not get away from them.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:19 @And King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, I am troubled on account of the Jews who have gone over to the Chaldaeans, for fear that they may give me up to them and they will put me to shame.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:22 @See, all the rest of the women in the house of the king of Judah will be taken out to the king of Babylon's captains, and these women will say, Your nearest friends have been false to you and have got the better of you: they have made your feet go deep into the wet earth, and they are turned away back from you.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:23 @And they will take all your wives and your children out to the Chaldaeans: and you will not get away out of their hands, but will be taken by the hands of the king of Babylon: and this town will be burned with fire.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:25 @But if it comes to the ears of the rulers that I have been talking with you, and they come and say to you, Give us word now of what you have said to the king and what the king said to you, keeping nothing back and we will not put you to death;

bbe@Jeremiah:38:27 @Then all the rulers came to Jeremiah, questioning him: and he gave them an answer in the words the king had given him orders to say. So they said nothing more to him; for the thing was not made public.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:28 @So Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen till the day when Jerusalem was taken.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:1 @And it came about, that when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, with all his army, came against Jerusalem, shutting it in on every side;

bbe@Jeremiah:39:3 @All the captains of the king of Babylon came in and took their places in the middle doorway of the town, Nergal-shar-ezer, ruler of Sin-magir, the Rabmag, and Nebushazban, the Rab-saris, and all the captains of the king of Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:4 @And when Zedekiah, king of Judah, and all the men of war saw it, they went in flight from the town by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the doorway between the two walls: and they went out by the Arabah.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:5 @But the Chaldaean army went after them and overtook Zedekiah in the lowlands of Jericho: and they made him a prisoner and took him up to Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, to Riblah in the land of Hamath, to be judged by him.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:6 @Then the king of Babylon put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes in Riblah: and the king of Babylon put to death all the great men of Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:8 @And the Chaldaeans put the king's house on fire, as well as the houses of the people, and had the walls of Jerusalem broken down.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:9 @Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away to Babylon as prisoners, all the rest of the workmen who were still in the town, as well as those who had given themselves up to him, and all the rest of the people.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:13 @So Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, sent Nebushazban, the Rab-saris, and Nergal-shar-ezer, the Rabmag, and all the chief captains of the king of Babylon,

bbe@Jeremiah:39:14 @And they sent and took Jeremiah out of the place of the watchmen, and gave him into the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him to his house: so he was living among the people.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him; for he had been put in chains, among all the prisoners of Jerusalem and Judah who were taken away prisoners to Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:4 @Now see, this day I am freeing you from the chains which are on your hands. If it seems good to you to come with me to Babylon, then come, and I will keep an eye on you; but if it does not seem good to you to come with me to Babylon, then do not come: see, all the land is before you; if it seems good and right to you to go on living in the land,

bbe@Jeremiah:40:5 @Then go back to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made ruler over the towns of Judah, and make your living-place with him among the people; or go wherever it seems right to you to go. So the captain of the armed men gave him food and some money and let him go.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:6 @So Jeremiah went to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, in Mizpah, and was living with him among the people who were still in the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:7 @Now when it came to the ears of all the captains of the forces who were in the field, and their men, that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, ruler in the land, and had put under his care the men and women and children, all the poorest of the land, those who had not been taken away to Babylon;

bbe@Jeremiah:40:8 @Then they came to Gedaliah in Mizpah, even Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah, the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:9 @And Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, took an oath to them and their men, saying, Have no fear of the servants of the Chaldaeans: go on living in the land, and become the servants of the king of Babylon, and all will be well.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:10 @As for me, I will be living in Mizpah as your representative before the Chaldaeans who come to us: but you are to get in your wine and summer fruits and oil and put them in your vessels, and make living-places for yourselves in the towns which you have taken.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:11 @In the same way, when all the Jews who were in Moab and among the children of Ammon and in Edom and in all the countries, had news that the king of Babylon had let Judah keep some of its people and that he had put over them Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan;

bbe@Jeremiah:40:12 @Then all the Jews came back from all the places to which they had gone in flight, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and got in a great store of wine and summer fruit.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:13 @Now Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were in the field, came to Gedaliah in Mizpah,

bbe@Jeremiah:40:15 @Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, said to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, Let me now go and put Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, to death without anyone's knowledge: why let him take your life so that all the Jews who have come together to you may be sent in flight, and the rest of the men of Judah come to an end?

bbe@Jeremiah:40:16 @But Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, said to Johanan, the son of Kareah, You are not to do this: for what you say about Ishmael is false.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:1 @Now it came about in the seventh month that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, having with him ten men, came to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, in Mizpah; and they had a meal together in Mizpah.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:2 @Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, got up, and attacking Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, put to death him whom the king of Babylon had made ruler over the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:45:5 @And as for you, are you looking for great things for yourself? Have no desire for them: for truly I will send evil on all flesh, says the Lord: but your life I will keep safe from attack wherever you go.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:6 @Let not the quick-footed go in flight, or the man of war get away; on the north, by the river Euphrates, they are slipping and falling.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:10 @But that day is the day of the Lord, the Lord of armies, a day of punishment when he will take payment from his haters: and the sword will have all its desire, drinking their blood in full measure: for there is an offering to the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the north country by the river Euphrates.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:11 @Go up to Gilead and take sweet oil, O virgin daughter of Egypt: there is no help in all your medical arts; nothing will make you well.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:12 @Your shame has come to the ears of the nations, and the earth is full of your cry: for the strong man is falling against the strong, they have come down together.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:16 @... are stopped in their going, they are falling; and they say one to another, Let us get up and go back to our people, to the land of our birth, away from the cruel sword.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:28 @Have no fear, O Jacob, my servant, says the Lord; for I am with you: for I will put an end to all the nations where I have sent you, but I will not put an end to you completely: though with wise purpose I will put right your errors, and will not let you go quite without punishment.

bbe@Jeremiah:47:2 @This is what the Lord has said: See, waters are coming up out of the north, and will become an overflowing stream, overflowing the land and everything in it, the town and those who are living in it; and men will give a cry, and all the people of the land will be crying out in pain.

bbe@Jeremiah:47:4 @Because of the day which is coming with destruction on all the Philistines, cutting off from Tyre and Zidon the last of their helpers: for the Lord will send destruction on the Philistines, the rest of the sea-land of Caphtor.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:5 @For by the slope of Luhith they will go up, weeping all the way; for on the way down to Horonaim the cry of destruction has come to their ears.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:8 @And the attacker will come against every town, not one will be safe; and the valley will be made waste, and destruction will come to the lowland, as the Lord has said.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:10 @Let him be cursed who does the Lord's work half-heartedly; let him be cursed who keeps back his sword from blood.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:17 @All you who are round about him, give signs of grief for him, and all you who have knowledge of his name, say, How is the strong rod broken, even the beautiful branch!

bbe@Jeremiah:48:24 @And on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the towns of the land of Moab, far and near.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:27 @For did you not make sport of Israel? was he taken among thieves? for whenever you were talking about him, you were shaking your head over him.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:31 @For this cause I will give cries of grief for Moab, crying out for Moab, even for all of it; I will be sorrowing for the men of Kir-heres.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:33 @All joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field and for the land of Moab; I have made the wine come to an end from the crushing vessels: no longer will the grapes be crushed with the sound of glad voices.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:34 @The cry of Heshbon comes even to Elealeh; to Jahaz their voice is sounding; from Zoar even to Horonaim and to Eglath-shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim will become dry.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:36 @So my heart is sounding for Moab like the sound of pipes, and my heart is sounding like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: for the wealth he has got for himself has come to an end.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:38 @On all the house-tops of Moab and in its streets there is weeping everywhere; for Moab has been broken like a vessel in which there is no pleasure, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:2 @Because of this, see, the days are coming when I will have a cry of war sounded against Rabbah, the town of the children of Ammon; it will become a waste of broken walls, and her daughter-towns will be burned with fire: then Israel will take the heritage of those who took his heritage, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:4 @Why are you lifted up in pride on account of your valleys, your flowing valley, O daughter ever turning away? who puts her faith in her wealth, saying, Who will come against me?

bbe@Jeremiah:49:13 @For I have taken an oath by myself, says the Lord, that Bozrah will become a cause of wonder, a name of shame, a waste and a curse; and all its towns will be waste places for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:15 @For see, I have made you small among the nations, looked down on by men.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:16 @... the pride of your heart has been a false hope, O you who are living in the cracks of the rock, keeping your place on the top of the hill: even if you made your living-place as high as the eagle, I would make you come down, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:17 @And Edom will become a cause of wonder: everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, and make sounds of fear at all her punishments.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:18 @As at the downfall of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbouring towns, says the Lord, no man will be living in it, no son of man will have a resting-place there.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:20 @For this cause give ear to the decision of the Lord which he has made against Edom, and to his purposes designed against the people of Teman: Truly, they will be pulled away by the smallest of the flock; truly, he will make waste their fields with them.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:21 @The earth is shaking with the noise of their fall; their cry is sounding in the Red Sea.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:26 @So her young men will be falling in her streets, and all the men of war will be cut off in that day, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:27 @And I will have a fire lighted on the wall of Damascus, burning up the great houses of Ben-hadad.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:29 @Their tents and their flocks they will take; they will take away for themselves their curtains and all their vessels and their camels: they will give a cry to them, Fear on every side.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:32 @And their camels will be taken from them by force, and their great herds will come into the hands of their attackers: those who have the ends of their hair cut I will send in flight to all the winds; and I will send their fate on them from every side, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:33 @And Hazor will be a hole for jackals, a waste for ever: no one will be living in it, and no son of man will have a resting-place there.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:36 @And I will send on Elam four winds from the four quarters of heaven, driving them out to all those winds; there will be no nation into which the wanderers from Elam do not come.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:1 @The word which the Lord said about Babylon, about the land of the Chaldaeans, by Jeremiah the prophet.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:5 @They will be questioning about the way to Zion, with their faces turned in its direction, saying, Come, and be united to the Lord in an eternal agreement which will be kept in mind for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:7 @They have been attacked by all those who came across them: and their attackers said, We are doing no wrong, because they have done evil against the Lord in whom is righteousness, against the Lord, the hope of their fathers.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:8 @Go in flight out of Babylon, go out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and be like he-goats before the flocks.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:10 @And the wealth of Chaldaea will come into the hands of her attackers: all those who take her wealth will have enough, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:13 @Because of the wrath of the Lord no one will be living in it, and it will be quite unpeopled: everyone who goes by Babylon will be overcome with wonder, and make sounds of fear at all her punishments.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:14 @Put your armies in position against Babylon on every side, all you bowmen; let loose your arrows at her, not keeping any back: for she has done evil against the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:15 @Give a loud cry against her on every side; she has given herself up, her supports are overturned, her walls are broken down: for it is the payment taken by the Lord; give her payment; as she has done, so do to her.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:23 @How is the hammer of all the earth cut in two and broken! how has Babylon become a waste among the nations!

bbe@Jeremiah:50:25 @From his store-house the Lord has taken the instruments of his wrath: for the Lord, the Lord of armies, has a work to do in the land of the Chaldaeans.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:26 @Come up against her one and all, let her store-houses be broken open: make her into a mass of stones, give her to the curse, till there is nothing of her to be seen.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:27 @Put all her oxen to the sword; let them go down to death: sorrow is theirs, for their day has come, the time of their punishment.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:29 @Send for the archers to come together against Babylon, all the bowmen; put up your tents against her on every side; let no one get away: give her the reward of her work; as she has done, so do to her: for she has been uplifted in pride against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:30 @For this cause her young men will be falling in her streets, and all her men of war will be cut off in that day, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:32 @And pride will go with uncertain steps and have a fall, and there will be no one to come to his help: and I will put a fire in his towns, burning up everything round about him.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:33 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: The children of Israel and the children of Judah are crushed down together: all those who took them prisoner keep them in a tight grip; they will not let them go.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:35 @A sword is on the Chaldaeans, says the Lord, and on the people of Babylon, and on her rulers and on her wise men.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:37 @A sword is on all the mixed people in her, and they will become like women: a sword is on her store-houses, and they will be taken by her attackers.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:38 @A sword is on her waters, drying them up; for it is a land of images, and their minds are fixed on false gods.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:45 @So give ear to the decision of the Lord which he has made against Babylon, and to his purposes designed against the land of the Chaldaeans; Truly, they will be pulled away by the smallest of the flock; truly, he will make waste their fields with them.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:1 @The Lord has said: See, I will make a wind of destruction come up against Babylon and against those who are living in Chaldaea;

bbe@Jeremiah:51:3 @Against her the bow of the archer is bent, and he puts on his coat of metal: have no mercy on her young men, give all her army up to the curse.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:4 @And the dead will be stretched out in the land of the Chaldaeans, and the wounded in her streets.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:7 @Babylon has been a gold cup in the hand of the Lord, which has made all the earth overcome with wine: the nations have taken of her wine, and for this cause the nations have gone off their heads.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:8 @Sudden is the downfall of Babylon and her destruction: make cries of grief for her; take sweet oil for her pain, if it is possible for her to be made well.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:12 @Let the flag be lifted up against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, put the watchmen in their places, make ready a surprise attack: for it is the Lord's purpose, and he has done what he said about the people of Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:17 @Then every man becomes like a beast without knowledge; every gold-worker is put to shame by the image he has made: for his metal image is deceit, and there is no breath in them.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:19 @The heritage of Jacob is not like these; for the maker of all things is his heritage: the Lord of armies is his name.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:24 @And I will give to Babylon, and to all the people of Chaldaea, their reward for all the evil they have done in Zion before your eyes, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:25 @See, I am against you, says the Lord, O mountain of destruction, causing the destruction of all the earth: and my hand will be stretched out on you, rolling you down from the rocks, and making you a burned mountain.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:26 @And they will not take from you a stone for the angle of a wall or the base of a building; but you will be a waste place for ever, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:28 @Make the nations ready for war against her, the king of the Medes and his rulers and all his captains, and all the land under his rule.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:34 @Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, has made a meal of me, violently crushing me, he has made me a vessel with nothing in it, he has taken me in his mouth like a dragon, he has made his stomach full with my delicate flesh, crushing me with his teeth.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:35 @May the violent things done to me, and my downfall, come on Babylon, the daughter of Zion will say; and, May my blood be on the people of Chaldaea, Jerusalem will say.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:37 @And Babylon will become a mass of broken walls, a hole for jackals, a cause of wonder and surprise, without a living man in it.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:39 @When they are heated, I will make a feast for them, and overcome them with wine, so that they may become unconscious, sleeping an eternal sleep without awaking, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:41 @How is Babylon taken! and the praise of all the earth surprised! how has Babylon become a cause of wonder among the nations!

bbe@Jeremiah:51:44 @And I will send punishment on Bel in Babylon, and take out of his mouth what went into it; no longer will the nations be flowing together to him: truly, the wall of Babylon will come down.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:47 @For this cause, truly, the days are coming when I will send punishment on the images of Babylon, and all her land will be shamed, and her dead will be falling down in her.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:49 @As Babylon had the dead of Israel put to the sword, so in Babylon the dead of all the land will be stretched out.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:50 @You who have got away safe from the sword, go, waiting for nothing; have the Lord in memory when you are far away, and keep Jerusalem in mind.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:52 @For this reason, see, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will send punishment on her images; and through all her land the wounded will be crying out in pain.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:53 @Even if Babylon was lifted up to heaven, even if she had the high places of her strength shut in with walls, still I would send against her those who will make her waste, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:54 @There is the sound of a cry from Babylon, and of a great destruction from the land of the Chaldaeans:

bbe@Jeremiah:51:57 @And I will make her chiefs and her wise men, her rulers and her captains and her men of war, overcome with wine; their sleep will be an eternal sleep without awaking, says the King; the Lord of armies is his name.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:58 @The Lord of armies has said: The wide walls of Babylon will be completely uncovered and her high doorways will be burned with fire; so peoples keep on working for nothing, and the weariness of nations comes to an end in the smoke.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:60 @And Jeremiah put in a book all the evil which was to come on Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:61 @And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When you come to Babylon, see that you give them all these words;

bbe@Jeremiah:52:1 @Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king; he was king for eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:3 @And because of the wrath of the Lord this came about in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had sent them away from before him: and Zedekiah took up arms against the king of Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:4 @And in the ninth year of his rule, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came against Jerusalem with all his army and took up his position before it, building earthworks all round it.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:6 @In the fourth month, on the ninth day of the month, the store of food in the town was almost gone, so that there was no food for the people of the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:7 @Then an opening was made in the wall of the town, and all the men of war went in flight out of the town by night through the doorway between the two walls which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldaeans were stationed round the town:) and they went by the way of the Arabah.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:8 @And the Chaldaean army went after King Zedekiah and overtook him on the other side of Jericho, and all his army went in flight from him in every direction.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:10 @And the king of Babylon put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes: and he put to death all the rulers of Judah in Riblah.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:12 @Now in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, in the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, a servant of the king of Babylon, came into Jerusalem.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:13 @And he had the house of the Lord and the king's house and all the houses of Jerusalem, even every great house, burned with fire:

bbe@Jeremiah:52:14 @And the walls round Jerusalem were broken down by the Chaldaean army which was with the captain.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:17 @And the brass pillars which were in the house of the Lord, and the wheeled bases and the great brass water-vessel in the house of the Lord, were broken up by the Chaldaeans, who took all the brass away to Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:18 @And the pots and the spades and the scissors for the lights and the spoons, and all the brass vessels used in the Lord's house, they took away.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:20 @The two pillars, the great water-vessel, and the twelve brass oxen which were under it, and the ten wheeled bases, which King Solomon had made for the house of the Lord: the brass of all these vessels was without weight.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:21 @And as for the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high, and twelve cubits measured all round, and it was as thick as a man's hand: it was hollow.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:22 @And there was a crown of brass on it: the crown was five cubits high, circled with a network and apples all of brass; and the second pillar had the same.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:23 @There were ninety-six apples on the outside; the number of apples all round the network was a hundred.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:29 @And in the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar he took away as prisoners from Jerusalem eight hundred and thirty-two persons:

bbe@Jeremiah:52:30 @In the twenty-third year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners seven hundred and forty-five of the Jews: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

bbe@Lamentations:1:2 @She is sorrowing bitterly in the night, and her face is wet with weeping; among all her lovers she has no comforter: all her friends have been false to her, they have become her haters.

bbe@Lamentations:1:3 @Judah has been taken away as a prisoner because of trouble and hard work; her living-place is among the nations, there is no rest for her: all her attackers have overtaken her in a narrow place.

bbe@Lamentations:1:4 @The ways of Zion are sad, because no one comes to the holy meeting; all her doorways are made waste, her priests are breathing out sorrow: her virgins are troubled, and it is bitter for her.

bbe@Lamentations:1:6 @And all her glory has gone from the daughter of Zion: her rulers have become like harts with no place for food, and they have gone in flight without strength before the attacker.

bbe@Lamentations:1:7 @Jerusalem keeps in mind, in the days of her sorrow and of her wanderings, all the desired things which were hers in days gone by; when her people came into the power of her hater and she had no helper, her attackers saw their desire effected on her and made sport of her destruction.

bbe@Lamentations:1:8 @Great is the sin of Jerusalem; for this cause she has become an unclean thing: all those who gave her honour are looking down on her, because they have seen her shame: now truly, breathing out grief, she is turned back.

bbe@Lamentations:1:9 @In her skirts were her unclean ways; she gave no thought to her end; and her fall has been a wonder; she has no comforter: see her sorrow, O Lord; for the attacker is lifted up.

bbe@Lamentations:1:10 @The hand of her hater is stretched out over all her desired things; for she has seen that the nations have come into her holy place, about whom you gave orders that they were not to come into the meeting of your people.

bbe@Lamentations:1:11 @Breathing out grief all her people are looking for bread; they have given their desired things for food to give them life: see, O Lord, and take note; for she has become a thing of shame.

bbe@Lamentations:1:12 @Come to me, all you who go by! Keep your eyes on me, and see if there is any pain like the pain of my wound, which the Lord has sent on me in the day of his burning wrath.

bbe@Lamentations:1:13 @From on high he has sent fire into my bones, and it has overcome them: his net is stretched out for my feet, I am turned back by him; he has made me waste and feeble all the day.

bbe@Lamentations:1:15 @The Lord has made sport of all my men of war in me, he has got men together against me to send destruction on my young men: the virgin daughter of Judah has been crushed like grapes under the feet of the Lord.

bbe@Lamentations:1:17 @Zion's hands are outstretched; she has no comforter; the Lord has given orders to the attackers of Jacob round about him: Jerusalem has become like an unclean thing among them.

bbe@Lamentations:1:18 @The Lord is upright; for I have gone against his orders: give ear, now, all you peoples, and see my pain, my virgins and my young men have gone away as prisoners.

bbe@Lamentations:1:19 @I sent for my lovers, but they were false to me: my priests and my responsible men were breathing their last breath in the town, while they were looking for food to give them new life.

bbe@Lamentations:1:21 @Give ear to the voice of my grief; I have no comforter; all my haters have news of my troubles, they are glad because you have done it: let the day of fate come when they will be like me.

bbe@Lamentations:1:22 @Let all their evil-doing come before you; do to them as you have done to me for all my sins: for loud is the sound of my grief, and the strength of my heart is gone.

bbe@Lamentations:2:2 @The Lord has given up to destruction all the living-places of Jacob without pity; pulling down in his wrath the strong places of the daughter of Judah, stretching out on the earth the wounded, even her king and her rulers.

bbe@Lamentations:2:4 @His bow has been bent for the attack, he has taken his place with his hand ready, in his hate he has put to death all who were pleasing to the eye: on the tent of the daughter of Zion he has let loose his passion like fire.

bbe@Lamentations:2:5 @The Lord has become like one fighting against her, sending destruction on Israel; he has sent destruction on all her great houses, making waste his strong places: increasing the grief and the sorrow of the daughter of Judah.

bbe@Lamentations:2:7 @The Lord has given up his altar and has been turned in hate from his holy place; he has given up into the hands of the attacker the walls of her great houses: their voices have been loud in the house of the Lord as in the day of a holy meeting.

bbe@Lamentations:2:8 @It is the Lord's purpose to make waste the wall of the daughter of Zion; his line has been stretched out, he has not kept back his hand from destruction: he has sent sorrow on tower and wall, they have become feeble together.

bbe@Lamentations:2:10 @The responsible men of the daughter of Zion are seated on the earth without a word; they have put dust on their heads, they are clothed in haircloth: the heads of the virgins of Jerusalem are bent down to the earth.

bbe@Lamentations:2:11 @My eyes are wasted with weeping, the inmost parts of my body are deeply moved, my inner parts are drained out on the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because of the young children and babies at the breast who are falling without strength in the open squares of the town.

bbe@Lamentations:2:12 @They say to their mothers, Where is grain and wine? when they are falling like the wounded in the open squares of the town, when their life is drained out on their mother's breast.

bbe@Lamentations:2:13 @What example am I to give you? what comparison am I to make for you, O daughter of Jerusalem? what am I to make equal to you, so that I may give you comfort, O virgin daughter of Zion? for your destruction is great like the sea: who is able to make you well?

bbe@Lamentations:2:14 @The visions which your prophets have seen for you are false and foolish; they have not made clear to you your sin so that your fate might be changed: but they have seen for you false words, driving you away.

bbe@Lamentations:2:15 @All who go by make a noise with their hands at you; they make hisses, shaking their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, and saying, Is this the town which was the crown of everything beautiful, the joy of all the earth?

bbe@Lamentations:2:16 @All your haters are opening their mouths wide against you; making hisses and whistling through their teeth, they say, We have made a meal of her: certainly this is the day we have been looking for; it has come, we have seen it.

bbe@Lamentations:2:18 @Let your cry go up to the Lord: O wall of the daughter of Zion, let your weeping be flowing down like a stream day and night; give yourself no rest, let not your eyes keep back the drops of sorrow.

bbe@Lamentations:2:19 @Up! give cries in the night, at the starting of the night-watches; let your heart be flowing out like water before the face of the Lord, lifting up your hands to him for the life of your young children who are falling down, feeble for need of food, at the top of every street.

bbe@Lamentations:3:3 @Truly against me his hand has been turned again and again all the day.

bbe@Lamentations:3:5 @He has put up a wall against me, shutting me in with bitter sorrow.

bbe@Lamentations:3:7 @He has put a wall round me, so that I am not able to go out; he has made great the weight of my chain.

bbe@Lamentations:3:9 @He has put up a wall of cut stones about my ways, he has made my roads twisted.

bbe@Lamentations:3:14 @I have become the sport of all the peoples; I am their song all the day.

bbe@Lamentations:3:26 @It is good to go on hoping and quietly waiting for the salvation of the Lord.

bbe@Lamentations:3:34 @In a man's crushing under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,

bbe@Lamentations:3:46 @The mouths of all our haters are open wide against us.

bbe@Lamentations:3:51 @The Lord is unkind to my soul, more than all the daughters of my town.

bbe@Lamentations:3:60 @You have seen all the evil rewards they have sent on me, and all their designs against me.

bbe@Lamentations:3:61 @Their bitter words have come to your ears, O Lord, and all their designs against me;

bbe@Lamentations:3:62 @The lips of those who came up against me, and their thoughts against me all the day.

bbe@Lamentations:4:2 @The valued sons of Zion, whose price was the best gold, are looked on as vessels of earth, the work of the hands of the potter!

bbe@Lamentations:4:6 @For the punishment of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of Sodom, which was overturned suddenly without any hand falling on her.

bbe@Lamentations:4:7 @Her holy ones were cleaner than snow, they were whiter than milk, their bodies were redder than corals, their form was as the sapphire:

bbe@Lamentations:4:12 @To the kings of the earth and to all the people of the world it did not seem possible that the attackers and the haters would go into the doors of Jerusalem.

bbe@Lamentations:4:16 @The face of the Lord has sent them in all directions; he will no longer take care of them: they had no respect for the priests, they gave no honour to the old men.

bbe@Lamentations:4:17 @Our eyes are still wasting away in looking for our false help: we have been watching for a nation unable to give salvation.

bbe@Lamentations:5:13 @The young men were crushing the grain, and the boys were falling under the wood.

bbe@Lamentations:5:18 @Because of the mountain of Zion which is a waste; jackals go over it.

bbe@Lamentations:5:19 @You, O Lord, are seated as King for ever; the seat of your power is eternal.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:3 @The word of the Lord came to me, Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldaeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was on me there.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:13 @And between the living beings it was like burning coals of fire, as if flames were going one after the other between the living beings; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went thunder-flames.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:24 @And when they went, the sound of their wings was like the sound of great waters to my ears, like the voice of the Ruler of all, a sound like the rushing of an army: when they came to rest they let down their wings.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:28 @Like the bow in the cloud on a day of rain, so was the light shining round him. And this is what the glory of the Lord was like. And when I saw it I went down on my face, and the voice of one talking came to my ears.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:3 @And he said to me, Son of man, let your stomach make a meal of it and let your inside be full of this roll which I am giving you. Then I took it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:5 @For you are not sent to a people whose talk is strange and whose language is hard, but to the children of Israel;

bbe@Ezekiel:3:6 @Not to a number of peoples whose talk is strange and whose language is hard and whose words are not clear to you. Truly, if I sent you to them they would give ear to you.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:7 @But the children of Israel will not give ear to you; for they have no mind to give ear to me: for all the children of Israel have a hard brow and a stiff heart.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:10 @Then he said to me, Son of man, take into your heart all my words which I am about to say to you, and let your ears be open to them

bbe@Ezekiel:3:20 @Again, when an upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, and I put a cause of falling in his way, death will overtake him: because you have given him no word of his danger, death will overtake him in his evil-doing, and there will be no memory of the upright acts which he has done; but I will make you responsible for his blood.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:22 @And the hand of the Lord was on me there; and he said, Get up and go out into the valley and there I will have talk with you.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:23 @Then I got up and went out into the valley; and I saw the glory of the Lord resting there as I had seen it by the river Chebar; and I went down on my face.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:24 @Then the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and he had talk with me and said to me, Go and keep yourself shut up inside your house.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:27 @But when I have talk with you I will make your mouth open, and you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Let the hearer give ear; and as for him who will not, let him keep his ears shut: for they are an uncontrolled people.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:1 @And you, son of man, take a back and put it before you and on it make a picture of a town, even Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:2 @And make an attack on it, shutting it in, building strong places against it, and making high an earthwork against it; and put up tents against it, placing engines all round it for smashing down its walls.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:3 @And take a flat iron plate, and put it for a wall of iron between you and the town: and let your face be turned to it, and it will be shut in and you will make an attack on it. This will be a sign to the children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:7 @And let your face be turned to where Jerusalem is shut in, with your arm uncovered, and be a prophet against it.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:9 @And take for yourself wheat and barley and different sorts of grain, and put them in one vessel and make bread for yourself from them; all the days when you are stretched on your side it will be your food.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:14 @Then I said, Ah, Lord! see, my soul has never been unclean, and I have never taken as my food anything which has come to a natural death or has been broken by beasts, from the time when I was young even till now; no disgusting flesh has ever come into my mouth.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:16 @And he said to me, Son of man, see, I will take away from Jerusalem her necessary bread: they will take their bread by weight and with care, measuring out their drinking-water with fear and wonder:

bbe@Ezekiel:5:1 @And you, son of man, take a sharp sword, using it like a haircutter's blade, and making it go over your head and the hair of your chin: and take scales for separating the hair by weight.

bbe@Ezekiel:5:3 @And take from them a small number of hairs, folding them in your skirts.

bbe@Ezekiel:5:4 @And again take some of these and put them in the fire, burning them up in the fire; and say to all the children of Israel,

bbe@Ezekiel:5:5 @This is what the Lord has said: This is Jerusalem: I have put her among the nations, and countries are round her on every side;

bbe@Ezekiel:5:9 @And I will do in you what I have not done and will not do again, because of all your disgusting ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:5:10 @For this cause fathers will take their sons for food among you, and sons will make a meal of their fathers; and I will be judge among you, and all the rest of you I will send away to every wind.

bbe@Ezekiel:5:11 @For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have made my holy place unclean with all your hated things and all your disgusting ways, you will become disgusting to me; my eye will have no mercy and I will have no pity.

bbe@Ezekiel:6:3 @You mountains of Israel, give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and the hills, to the waterways and the valleys: See, I, even I, am sending on you a sword for the destruction of your high places.

bbe@Ezekiel:6:4 @And your altars will be made waste, and your sun-images will be broken: and I will have your dead men placed before your images.

bbe@Ezekiel:6:5 @And I will put the dead bodies of the children of Israel in front of their images, sending your bones in all directions about your altars.

bbe@Ezekiel:6:6 @In all your living-places the towns will become broken walls, and the high places made waste; so that your altars may be broken down and made waste, and your images broken and ended, and so that your sun-images may be cut down and your works rubbed out.

bbe@Ezekiel:6:7 @And the dead will be falling down among you, and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:6:8 @But still, I will keep a small band safe from the sword among the nations, when you are sent wandering among the countries.

bbe@Ezekiel:6:9 @And those of you who are kept safe will have me in mind among the nations where they have been taken away as prisoners, how I sent punishment on their hearts which were untrue to me, and on their eyes which were turned to their false gods: and they will be full of hate for themselves because of the evil things which they have done in all their disgusting ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:6:11 @This is what the Lord has said: Give blows with your hand, stamping with your foot, and say, O sorrow! because of all the evil and disgusting ways of the children of Israel: for death will overtake them by the sword and through need of food and by disease.

bbe@Ezekiel:6:13 @And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when their dead men are stretched among their images round about their altars on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every branching tree, and under every thick oak-tree, the places where they made sweet smells to all their images.

bbe@Ezekiel:6:14 @And my hand will be stretched out against them, making the land waste and unpeopled, from the waste land to Riblah, through all their living-places: and they will be certain that I am the Lord

bbe@Ezekiel:7:3 @Now the end has come on you, and I will send my wrath on you, judging you for your ways, I will send punishment on you for all your disgusting acts.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:8 @Now, in a little time, I will let loose my passion on you, and give full effect to my wrath against you, judging you for your ways, and sending punishment on you for all your disgusting works.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:14 @And he who has given a price for goods will not get them, for my wrath is on all of them.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:16 @And those of them who get away safely will go and be in the secret places like the doves of the valleys, all of them will come to death, every one in his sin

bbe@Ezekiel:7:17 @All hands will be feeble and all knees without strength, like water.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:18 @And they will put haircloth round them, and deep fear will be covering them; and shame will be on all faces, and the hair gone from all their heads.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:19 @They will put out their silver into the streets, and their gold will be as an unclean thing; their silver and their gold will not be able to keep them safe in the day of the wrath of the Lord; they will not get their desire or have food for their need: because it has been the cause of their falling into sin.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:3 @And he put out the form of a hand and took me by the hair of my head; and the wind, lifting me up between the earth and the heaven, took me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the way into the inner door facing to the north; where was the seat of the image of envy.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:4 @And I saw the glory of the Lord there, as in the vision which I saw in the valley.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:5 @Then he said to me, Son of man, now let your eyes be lifted up in the direction of the north; and on looking in the direction of the north, to the north of the doorway of the altar, I saw this image of envy by the way in.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:7 @And he took me to the door of the open place; and looking, I saw a hole in the wall.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:8 @And he said to me, Son of man, make a hole in the wall: and after making a hole in the wall I saw a door.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:10 @So I went in and saw; and there every sort of living thing which goes flat on the earth, and unclean beasts, and all the images of the children of Israel, were pictured round about on the wall.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:16 @And he took me into the inner square of the Lord's house, and at the door of the Temple of the Lord, between the covered way and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs turned to the Temple of the Lord and their faces turned to the east; and they were worshipping the sun, turning to the east.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:17 @Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? is it a small thing to the children of Judah that they do the disgusting things which they are doing here? for they have made the land full of violent behaviour, making me angry again and again: and see, they put the branch to my nose.

bbe@Ezekiel:9:2 @And six men came from the way of the higher doorway looking to the north, every man with his axe in his hand: and one man among them was clothed in linen, with a writer's inkpot at his side. And they went in and took their places by the brass altar.

bbe@Ezekiel:9:4 @The Lord said to him, Go through the town, through the middle of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the brows of the men who are sorrowing and crying for all the disgusting things which are done in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:9:8 @Now while they were doing so, and I was untouched, I went down on my face, and crying out, I said, Ah, Lord! will you give all the rest of Israel to destruction in letting loose your wrath on Jerusalem?

bbe@Ezekiel:10:2 @And he said to the man clothed in linen, Go in between the wheels, under the winged ones, and get your two hands full of burning coals from between the winged ones and send them in a shower over the town. And he went in before my eyes.

bbe@Ezekiel:10:5 @And the sound of the wings of the winged ones was clear even in the outer square, like the voice of the Ruler of all.

bbe@Ezekiel:10:10 @In form the four of them were all the same, they seemed like a wheel inside a wheel.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:13 @Now while I was saying these things, death came to Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah. Then falling down on my face and crying out with a loud voice, I said, Ah, Lord! will you put an end to all the rest of Israel?

bbe@Ezekiel:11:15 @Son of man, your countrymen, your relations, and all the children of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the people of Jerusalem have said, Go far from the Lord; this land is given to us for a heritage:

bbe@Ezekiel:11:18 @And they will come there, and take away all the hated and disgusting things from it.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:24 @And the wind, lifting me up, took me in the visions of God into Chaldaea, to those who had been taken away as prisoners. So the vision which I had seen went away from me.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:25 @Then I gave an account to those who had been taken prisoners of all the things which the Lord had made me see.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:5 @Make a hole in the wall, before their eyes, and go out through it.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:7 @And I did as I was ordered: I took out my vessels by day, like those of one who is taken away, and in the evening I made a hole through the wall with a tent-pin; and in the dark I went out, taking my things on my back before their eyes.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:10 @You are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: This word has to do with the ruler in Jerusalem and all the children of Israel in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:12 @And the ruler who is among them will take his goods on his back in the dark and go out: he will make a hole in the wall through which to go out: he will have his face covered so that he may not be seen.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:13 @And my net will be stretched out on him, and he will be taken in my cords: and I will take him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldaeans; but he will not see it, and there death will come to him

bbe@Ezekiel:12:14 @And all his helpers round about him and all his armies I will send in flight to every wind; and I will let loose a sword after them.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:16 @But a small number of them I will keep from the sword, from the need of food, and from disease, so that they may make clear all their disgusting ways among the nations where they come; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:19 @And say to the people of the land, This is what the Lord has said about the people of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: They will take their food with care and their drink with wonder, so that all the wealth of their land may be taken from it because of the violent ways of the people living in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:24 @For there will be no more false visions or smooth use of secret arts in Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:4 @O Israel, your prophets have been like jackals in the waste places.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:5 @You have not gone up into the broken places or made up the wall for the children of Israel to take your place in the fight in the day of the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:7 @Have you not seen a vision without substance and have you not falsely made use of secret arts, when you say, The Lord has said; though I have said nothing?

bbe@Ezekiel:13:8 @So this is what the Lord has said: Because your words are without substance and your visions are false, see, I am against you, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:9 @And my hand will be against the prophets who see visions without substance and who make false use of secret arts: they will not be in the secret of my people, and they will not be recorded in the list of the children of Israel, and they will not come into the land of Israel; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:10 @Because, even because they have been guiding my people into error, saying, Peace; when there is no peace; and in the building of a division wall they put whitewash on it:

bbe@Ezekiel:13:12 @And when the wall has come down, will they not say to you, Where is the whitewash which you put on it?

bbe@Ezekiel:13:14 @So I will let the wall, which you were covering with whitewash, be broken down; I will have it levelled to the earth so that its base is uncovered: it will come down, and destruction will come on you with it; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:15 @So I will let loose my passion on the wall in full measure, and on those who put whitewash on it; and I will say to you, Where is the wall, and where are those who put whitewash on it?

bbe@Ezekiel:13:16 @Even the prophets of Israel who say words to Jerusalem, who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:18 @This is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the women who are stitching bands on all arms and putting veils on the heads of those of every size, so that they may go after souls! Will you go after the souls of my people and keep yourselves safe from death?

bbe@Ezekiel:13:19 @And you have put me to shame among my people for a little barley and some bits of bread, sending death on souls for whom there is no cause of death, and keeping those souls living who have no right to life, by the false words you say to my people who give ear to what is false.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:22 @Because with your false words you have given pain to the heart of the upright man when I had not made him sad; in order to make strong the hands of the evil-doer so that he may not be turned from his evil way and get life:

bbe@Ezekiel:13:23 @For this cause you will see no more foolish visions or make false use of secret arts: and I will make my people free from your power; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:3 @Son of man, these men have taken their false gods into their hearts and put before their faces the sin which is the cause of their fall: am I to give ear when they come to me for directions?

bbe@Ezekiel:14:4 @For this cause say to them, These are the words of the Lord: Every man of Israel who has taken his false god into his heart, and put before his face the sin which is the cause of his fall, and comes to the prophet; I the Lord will give him an answer by myself in agreement with the number of his false gods;

bbe@Ezekiel:14:5 @So as to take the children of Israel in the thoughts of their hearts, because they have become strange to me through their false gods.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:6 @For this cause say to the children of Israel, These are the words of the Lord: Come back and give up your false gods and let your faces be turned from your disgusting things.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:7 @When any one of the men of Israel, or of those from other lands who are living in Israel, who has become strange to me, and takes his false gods into his heart, and puts before his face the sin which is the cause of his fall, comes to the prophet to get directions from me; I the Lord will give him an answer by myself:

bbe@Ezekiel:14:11 @So that the children of Israel may no longer go wandering away from me, or make themselves unclean with all their wrongdoing; but they will be my people, and I will be their God, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:21 @For this is what the Lord has said: How much more when I send my four bitter punishments on Jerusalem, the sword and need of food and evil beasts and disease, cutting off from it man and beast?

bbe@Ezekiel:14:22 @But truly, there will still be a small band who will be safe, even sons and daughters: and they will come out to you, and you will see their ways and their doings: and you will be comforted about the evil which I have sent on Jerusalem, even about everything I have sent on it.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:23 @They will give you comfort when you see their ways and their doings: and you will be certain that not for nothing have I done all the things I have done in it, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:15:4 @See, it is put into the fire for burning: the fire has made a meal of its two ends and the middle part of it is burned; is it good for any work?

bbe@Ezekiel:15:5 @Truly, before it was cut down, it was not used for any purpose: how much less, when the fire has made a meal of it and it is burned, will it be made into anything?

bbe@Ezekiel:15:6 @For this cause the Lord has said: Like the vine-tree among the trees of the woods which I have given to the fire for burning, so will I give the people of Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:2 @Son of man, make clear to Jerusalem her disgusting ways,

bbe@Ezekiel:16:3 @And say, This is what the Lord has said to Jerusalem: Your start and your birth was from the land of the Canaanite; an Amorite was your father and your mother was a Hittite.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:4 @As for your birth, on the day of your birth your cord was not cut and you were not washed in water to make you clean; you were not salted or folded in linen bands.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:9 @Then I had you washed with water, washing away all your blood and rubbing you with oil.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:13 @So you were made beautiful with gold and silver; and your clothing was of the best linen and silk and needlework; your food was the best meal and honey and oil: and you were very beautiful.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:14 @You were so beautiful that the story of you went out into all nations; you were completely beautiful because of my glory which I had put on you, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:15 @But you put your faith in the fact that you were beautiful, acting like a loose woman because you were widely talked of, and offering your cheap love to everyone who went by, whoever it might be.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:17 @And you took the fair jewels, my silver and gold which I had given to you, and made for yourself male images, acting like a loose woman with them;

bbe@Ezekiel:16:19 @And my bread which I gave you, the best meal and oil and honey which I gave you for your food, you put it before them for a sweet smell, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:20 @And you took your sons and your daughters whom I had by you, offering even these to them to be their food. Was your loose behaviour so small a thing,

bbe@Ezekiel:16:22 @And in all your disgusting and false behaviour you had no memory of your early days, when you were uncovered and without clothing, stretched out in your blood.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:23 @And it came about, after all your evil-doing, says the Lord,

bbe@Ezekiel:16:29 @And you went on in your loose ways, even as far as the land of Chaldaea, and still you had not enough.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:30 @How feeble is your heart, says the Lord, seeing that you do all these things, the work of a loose and overruling woman;

bbe@Ezekiel:16:33 @They give payment to all loose women: but you give rewards to your lovers, offering them payment so that they may come to you on every side for your cheap love.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:37 @For this cause I will get together all your lovers with whom you have taken your pleasure, and all those to whom you have given your love, with all those who were hated by you; I will even make them come together against you on every side, and I will have you uncovered before them so that they may see your shame.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:43 @Because you have not kept in mind the days when you were young, but have been troubling me with all these things; for this reason I will make the punishment of your ways come on your head, says the Lord, because you have done this evil thing in addition to all your disgusting acts.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:47 @Still you have not gone in their ways or done the disgusting things which they have done; but, as if that was only a little thing, you have gone deeper in evil than they in all your ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:49 @Truly, this was the sin of your sister Sodom: pride, a full measure of food, and the comforts of wealth in peace, were seen in her and her daughters, and she gave no help to the poor or to those in need.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:51 @And Samaria has not done half your sins; but you have made the number of your disgusting acts greater than theirs, making your sisters seem more upright than you by all the disgusting things which you have done.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:54 @So that you will be shamed and made low because of all you have done, when I have mercy on you.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:57 @Before your shame was uncovered? Now you have become like her a word of shame to the daughters of Edom and all who are round about you, the daughters of the Philistines who put shame on you round about.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:60 @But still I will keep in mind the agreement made with you in the days when you were young, and I will make with you an eternal agreement.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:63 @So that, at the memory of these things, you may be at a loss, never opening your mouth because of your shame; when you have my forgiveness for all you have done, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:9 @Say, This is what the Lord has said: Will it do well? will he not have its roots pulled up and its branches cut off, so that all its young leaves may become dry and it may be pulled up by its roots?

bbe@Ezekiel:17:12 @Say now to this uncontrolled people, Are these things not clear to you? Say to them, See, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and took its king and its rulers away with him to Babylon;

bbe@Ezekiel:17:17 @And Pharaoh with his strong army and great forces will be no help to him in the war, when they put up earthworks and make strong walls for the cutting off of lives:

bbe@Ezekiel:17:18 @For he put his oath on one side in letting the agreement be broken; and though he had given his hand to it, he did all these things; he will not get away safe.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:21 @All his best fighting-men will be put to the sword, and the rest will be sent away to every wind: and you will be certain that I the Lord have said it.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:23 @It will be planted on the high mountain of Israel: it will put out branches and have fruit and be a fair cedar: under it all birds of every sort will make their living-place, resting in the shade of its branches

bbe@Ezekiel:17:24 @And it will be clear to all the trees of the field that I the Lord have made low the high tree and made high the low tree, drying up the green tree and making the dry tree full of growth; I the Lord have said it and have done it.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:4 @See, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so the soul of the son is mine: death will be the fate of the sinner's soul.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:13 @And has given out his money at interest and taken great profits: he will certainly not go on living: he has done all these disgusting things: death will certainly be his fate; his blood will be on him.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:14 @Now if he has a son who sees all his father's sins which he has done, and in fear does not do the same:

bbe@Ezekiel:18:21 @But if the evil-doer, turning away from all the sins which he has done, keeps my rules and does what is ordered and right, life will certainly be his; death will not be his fate.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:24 @But when the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, like all the disgusting things which the evil man does, will he have life? Not one of his upright acts will be kept in memory: in the wrong which he has done and in his sin death will overtake him.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:25 @But you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. Give ear, now, O children of Israel; is my way not equal? are not your ways unequal?

bbe@Ezekiel:18:28 @Because he had fear and was turned away from all the wrong which he had done, life will certainly be his, death will not be his fate.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:29 @But still the children of Israel say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O children of Israel, are my ways not equal? are not your ways unequal?

bbe@Ezekiel:18:30 @For this cause I will be your judge, O children of Israel, judging every man by his ways, says the Lord. Come back and be turned from all your sins; so that they may not be the cause of your falling into evil.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:31 @Put away all your evil-doing in which you have done sin; and make for yourselves a new heart and a new spirit: why are you desiring death, O children of Israel?

bbe@Ezekiel:19:11 @And she had a strong rod for a rod of authority for the rulers, and it became tall among the clouds and it was seen lifted up among the number of its branches.

bbe@Ezekiel:19:12 @But she was uprooted in burning wrath, and made low on the earth; the east wind came, drying her up, and her branches were broken off; her strong rod became dry, the fire made a meal of it.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:6 @In that day I gave my oath to take them out of the land of Egypt into a land which I had been searching out for them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands:

bbe@Ezekiel:20:15 @And further, I gave my oath to them in the waste land, that I would not take them into the land which I had given them, a land flowing with milk and honey, the glory of all lands;

bbe@Ezekiel:20:31 @And when you give your offerings, causing your sons to go through the fire, you make yourselves unclean with all your images to this day; and will you come to me for directions, O children of Israel? By my life, says the Lord, you will get no direction from me.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:37 @And I will make you go under the rod and will make you small in number:

bbe@Ezekiel:20:38 @Clearing out from among you all those who are uncontrolled and who are sinning against me; I will take them out of the land where they are living, but they will not come into the land of Israel: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:40 @For in my holy mountain, in the high mountain of Israel, says the Lord, there all the children of Israel, all of them, will be my servants in the land; there I will take pleasure in them, and there I will be worshipped with your offerings and the first-fruits of the things you give, and with all your holy things.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:43 @And there, at the memory of your ways and of all the things you did to make yourselves unclean, you will have bitter hate for yourselves because of all the evil things you have done.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:47 @And say to the woodland of the South, Give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said: See, I will have a fire lighted in you, for the destruction of every green tree in you and every dry tree: the flaming flame will not be put out, and all faces from the south to the north will be burned by it.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:48 @And all flesh will see that I the Lord have had it lighted: it will not be put out.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:2 @Son of man, let your face be turned to Jerusalem, let your words be dropped in the direction of her holy place, and be a prophet against the land of Israel;

bbe@Ezekiel:21:4 @Because I am going to have the upright and the evil cut off from you, for this cause my sword will go out from its cover against all flesh from the south to the north:

bbe@Ezekiel:21:5 @And all flesh will see that I the Lord have taken my sword out of its cover: and it will never go back.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:7 @And when they say to you, Why are you making sounds of grief? then say, Because of the news, for it is coming: and every heart will become soft, and all hands will be feeble, and every spirit will be burning low, and all knees will be turned to water: see, it is coming and it will be done, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:12 @Give loud cries and make sounds of grief, O son of man: for it has come on my people, it has come on all the rulers of Israel: fear of the sword has come on my people: for this cause give signs of grief.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:15 @In order that hearts may become soft, and the number of those who are falling may be increased, I have sent death by the sword against all their doors: you are made like a flame, you are polished for death.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:20 @Put a pillar at the top of the road for the sword to come to Rabbah in the land of the children of Ammon, and to Judah and to Jerusalem in the middle of her.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:22 @At his right hand was the fate of Jerusalem, to give orders for destruction, to send up the war-cry, to put engines of war against the doors, lifting up earthworks, building walls.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:23 @And this answer given by secret arts will seem false to those who have given their oaths and have let them be broken: but he will keep the memory of evil-doing so that they may be taken.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:24 @For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have made your evil-doing come to mind by the uncovering of your wrongdoing, causing your sins to be seen in all your evil-doings; because you have come to mind, you will be taken in them.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:29 @Your vision is to no purpose, your use of secret arts gives a false answer, to put it on the necks of evil-doers who are wounded to death, whose day has come, in the time of the last punishment.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:2 @And you, son of man, will you be a judge, will you be a judge of the town of blood? then make clear to her all her disgusting ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:4 @You are responsible for the blood drained out by you, and you are unclean through the images which you have made; and you have made your day come near, and the time of your judging has come; for this cause I have made you a name of shame to the nations and a cause of laughing to all countries.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:18 @Son of man, the children of Israel have become like the poorest sort of waste metal to me: they are all silver and brass and tin and iron and lead mixed with waste.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:19 @For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have all become waste metal, see, I will get you together inside Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:25 @Her rulers in her are like a loud-voiced lion violently taking his food; they have made a meal of souls; they have taken wealth and valued property; they have made great the number of widows in her.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:28 @And her prophets have been using whitewash, seeing foolish visions and making false use of secret arts, saying, This is what the Lord has said, when the Lord has said nothing.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:30 @And I was looking for a man among them who would make up the wall and take his station in the broken place before me for the land, so that I might not send destruction on it: but there was no one.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:4 @Their names were Oholah, the older, and Oholibah, her sister: and they became mine, and gave birth to sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem, Oholibah.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:6 @Who were clothed in blue, captains and rulers, all of them young men to be desired, horsemen seated on horses.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:7 @And she gave her unclean love to them, all of them the noblest men of Assyria: and she made herself unclean with the images of all who were desired by her.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:12 @She was full of desire for the Assyrians, captains and rulers, her neighbours, clothed in blue, horsemen going on horses, all of them young men to be desired.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:14 @And her loose behaviour became worse; for she saw men pictured on a wall, pictures of the Chaldaeans painted in bright red,

bbe@Ezekiel:23:15 @With bands round their bodies and with head-dresses hanging round their heads, all of them looking like rulers, like the Babylonians, the land of whose birth is Chaldaea.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:16 @And when she saw them she was full of desire for them, and sent servants to them in Chaldaea.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:23 @The Babylonians and all the Chaldaeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: young men to be desired, captains and rulers all of them, and chiefs, her neighbours, all of them on horseback.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:24 @And they will come against you from the north on horseback, with war-carriages and a great band of peoples; they will put themselves in order against you with breastplate and body-cover and metal head-dress round about you: and I will make them your judges, and they will give their decision against you as seems right to them.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:26 @And they will take all your clothing off you and take away your ornaments.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:29 @And they will take you in hand with hate, and take away all the fruit of your work, and let you be unveiled and without clothing: and the shame of your loose behaviour will be uncovered, your evil designs and your loose ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:37 @For she has been false to me, and blood is on her hands, and with her images she has been untrue; and more than this, she made her sons, whom she had by me, go through the fire to them to be burned up.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:45 @And upright men will be her judges, judging her as false wives and women who take lives are judged; because she has been untrue to me and blood is on her hands.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:48 @And I will put an end to evil in all the land, teaching all women not to do as you have done.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:2 @Son of man, put down in writing this very day: The king of Babylon let loose the weight of his attack against Jerusalem on this very day.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:11 @And I will put her on the coals so that she may be heated and her brass burned, so that what is unclean in her may become soft and her waste be completely taken away.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:12 @I have made myself tired to no purpose: still all the waste which is in her has not come out, it has an evil smell.

bbe@Ezekiel:25:6 @For the Lord has said, Because you have made sounds of joy with your hands, stamping your feet, and have been glad, putting shame with all your soul on the land of Israel;

bbe@Ezekiel:25:8 @This is what the Lord has said: Because Moab and Seir are saying, See, the people of Judah are like all the nations;

bbe@Ezekiel:25:9 @For this cause, I will let the side of Moab be uncovered, and his towns on every side, the glory of the land, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon and as far as Kiriathaim

bbe@Ezekiel:26:2 @Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she who was the doorway of the peoples is broken; she is turned over to them; she who was full is made waste;

bbe@Ezekiel:26:4 @And they will give the walls of Tyre to destruction and have its towers broken: and I will take even her dust away from her, and make her an uncovered rock

bbe@Ezekiel:26:8 @He will put to the sword your daughters in the open country: he will make strong walls against you and put up an earthwork against you, arming himself for war against you.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:9 @He will put up his engines of war against your walls, and your towers will be broken down by his axes.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:10 @Because of the number of his horses you will be covered with their dust: your walls will be shaking at the noise of the horsemen and of the wheels and of the war-carriages, when he comes through your doorways, as into a town which has been broken open.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:12 @They will take by force all your wealth and go off with the goods with which you do trade: they will have your walls broken down and all the houses of your desire given up to destruction: they will put your stones and your wood and your dust deep in the water.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:15 @This is what the Lord has said to Tyre: Will not the sea-lands be shaking at the sound of your fall, when the wounded give cries of pain, when men are put to the sword in you?

bbe@Ezekiel:26:16 @Then all the rulers of the sea will come down from their high seats, and put away their robes and take off their clothing of needlework: they will put on the clothing of grief, they will take their seats on the earth, shaking with fear every minute and overcome with wonder at you.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:17 @And they will send up a song of grief for you, and say to you, What destruction has come on you, how are you cut off from the sea, the noted town, which was strong in the sea, she and her people, causing the fear of them to come on all the dry land!

bbe@Ezekiel:26:18 @Now the sea-lands will be shaking in the day of your fall; and all the ships on the sea will be overcome with fear at your going.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:5 @They have made all your boards of fir-trees from Senir: they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make the supports for your sails.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:9 @The responsible men of Gebal and its wise men were in you, making your boards watertight: all the ships of the sea with their seamen were in you trading in your goods.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:11 @The men of Arvad in your army were on your walls, and were watchmen in your towers, hanging up their arms on your walls round about; they made you completely beautiful.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:12 @Tarshish did business with you because of the great amount of your wealth; they gave silver, iron, tin, and lead for your goods.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:13 @Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your traders; they gave living men and brass vessels for your goods

bbe@Ezekiel:27:16 @Edom did business with you because of the great number of things which you made; they gave emeralds, purple, and needlework, and the best linen and coral and rubies for your goods.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:18 @Damascus did business with you because of the great amount of your wealth, with wine of Helbon and white wool.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:21 @Arabia and all the rulers of Kedar did business with you; in lambs and sheep and goats, in these they did business with you.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:22 @The traders of Sheba and Raamah did trade with you; they gave the best of all sorts of spices and all sorts of stones of great price and gold for your goods.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:23 @Haran and Canneh and Eden, the traders of Asshur and all the Medes:

bbe@Ezekiel:27:27 @Your wealth and your goods, the things in which you do trade, your seamen and those guiding your ships, those who make your boards watertight, and those who do business with your goods, and all your men of war who are in you, with all who have come together in you, will go down into the heart of the seas in the day of your downfall.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:29 @And all the boatmen, the seamen and those who are expert at guiding a ship through the sea, will come down from their ships and take their places on the land;

bbe@Ezekiel:27:33 @When your goods went out over the seas, you made numbers of peoples full; the wealth of the kings of the earth was increased with your great wealth and all your goods.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:34 @Now that you are broken by the seas in the deep waters, your goods and all your people will go down with you.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:35 @All the people of the sea-lands are overcome with wonder at you, and their kings are full of fear, their faces are troubled.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:12 @Son of man, make a song of grief for the king of Tyre, and say to him, This is what the Lord has said: You are all-wise and completely beautiful;

bbe@Ezekiel:28:13 @You were in Eden, the garden of God; every stone of great price was your clothing, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the emerald and the carbuncle: your store-houses were full of gold, and things of great price were in you; in the day when you were made they were got ready.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:16 @Through all your trading you have become full of violent ways, and have done evil: so I sent you out shamed from the mountain of God; the winged one put an end to you from among the stones of fire.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:18 @By all your sin, even by your evil trading, you have made your holy places unclean; so I will make a fire come out from you, it will make a meal of you, and I will make you as dust on the earth before the eyes of all who see you.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:19 @All who have knowledge of you among the peoples will be overcome with wonder at you: you have become a thing of fear, and you will never be seen again.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:23 @And I will send on her disease and blood in her streets; and the wounded will be falling in the middle of her, and the sword will be against her on every side; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:26 @And they will be safe there, building houses and planting vine-gardens and living without fear; when I have sent my punishments on all those who put shame on them round about them; and they will be certain that I am the Lord their God.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:2 @Son of man, let your face be turned against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and be a prophet against him and against all Egypt:

bbe@Ezekiel:29:4 @And I will put hooks in your mouth, and the fish of your streams will be hanging from your skin; and I will make you come up out of your streams, with all the fish of your streams hanging from your skin.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:5 @And I will let you be in the waste land, you and all the fish of your streams: you will go down on the face of the land; you will not be taken up or put to rest in the earth; I have given you for food to the beasts of the field and the birds of the heaven.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:6 @And it will be clear to all the people of Egypt that I am the Lord, because you have been a false support to the children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:7 @When they took a grip of you in their hands, you were crushed so that their arms were broken: and when they put their weight on you for support, you were broken and all their muscles gave way.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:15 @It will be the lowest of the kingdoms, and never again will it be lifted up over the nations: I will make them small, so that they may not have rule over the nations.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:19 @For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am giving the land of Egypt to Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon: he will take away her wealth, and take her goods by force and everything which is there; and this will be the payment for his army.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:4 @And a sword will come on Egypt, and cruel pain will be in Ethiopia, when they are falling by the sword in Egypt; and they will take away her wealth and her bases will be broken down.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:5 @Ethiopia and Put and Lud and all the mixed people and Libya and the children of the land of the Cherethites will all be put to death with them by the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:6 @This is what the Lord has said: The supporters of Egypt will have a fall, and the pride of her power will come down: from Migdol to Syene they will be put to the sword in it, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:8 @And they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I have put a fire in Egypt and all her helpers are broken.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:13 @This is what the Lord has said: In addition to this, I will give up the images to destruction and put an end to the false gods in Noph; never again will there be a ruler in the land of Egypt: and I will put a fear in the land of Egypt.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:3 @See, a pine-tree with beautiful branches and thick growth, giving shade and very tall; and its top was among the clouds.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:4 @It got strength from the waters and the deep made it tall: its streams went round about its planted land and it sent out its waterways to all the trees of the field.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:5 @In this way it became taller than all the trees of the field; and its branches were increased and its arms became long because of the great waters.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:6 @In its branches all the birds of heaven came to rest, and under its arms all the beasts of the field gave birth to their young, and great nations were living in its shade.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:7 @So it was beautiful, being so tall and its branches so long, for its root was by great waters.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:8 @No cedars were equal to it in the garden of God; the fir-trees were not like its branches, and plane-trees were as nothing in comparison with its arms; no tree in the garden of God was so beautiful.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:9 @I made it beautiful with its mass of branches: so that all the trees in the garden of God were full of envy of it.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:10 @For this cause the Lord has said: Because he is tall, and has put his top among the clouds, and his heart is full of pride because he is so high,

bbe@Ezekiel:31:12 @And men from strange lands, who are to be feared among the nations, after cutting him off, have let him be: on the mountains and in all the valleys his branches have come down; his arms are broken by all the waterways of the land; all the peoples of the earth have gone from his shade, and have let him be.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:13 @All the birds of heaven have come to rest on his broken stem where it is stretched on the earth, and all the beasts of the field will be on his branches:

bbe@Ezekiel:31:14 @In order that no trees by the waters may be lifted up in their growth, putting their tops among the clouds; and that no trees which are watered may take their place on high: for they are all given up to death, to the lowest parts of the earth among the children of men, with those who go down to the underworld.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:15 @This is what the Lord has said: The day when he goes down to the underworld, I will make the deep full of grief for him; I will keep back her streams and the great waters will be stopped: I will make Lebanon dark for him, and all the trees of the field will be feeble because of him.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:16 @I will send shaking on the nations at the sound of his fall, when I send him down to the underworld with those who go down into the deep: and on earth they will be comforting themselves, all the trees of Eden, the best of Lebanon, even all the watered ones.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:18 @Whom then are you like? for you will be sent down with the trees of Eden into the lowest parts of the earth: there you will be stretched out among those without circumcision, with those who were put to the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his people, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:4 @And I will let you be stretched on the land; I will send you out violently into the open field; I will let all the birds of heaven come to rest on you and will make the beasts of all the earth full of you.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:5 @And I will put your flesh on the mountains, and make the valleys full of your blood.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:8 @All the bright lights of heaven I will make dark over you, and put dark night on your land, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:10 @And I will make a number of peoples overcome with wonder at you, and their kings will be full of fear because of you, when my sword is waved before them: they will be shaking every minute, every man fearing for his life, in the day of your fall.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:12 @I will let the swords of the strong be the cause of the fall of your people; all of them men to be feared among the nations: and they will make waste the pride of Egypt, and all its people will come to destruction.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:13 @And I will put an end to all her beasts which are by the great waters, and they will never again be troubled by the foot of man or by the feet of beasts.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:15 @When I make Egypt an unpeopled waste, cutting off from the land all the things in it; when I send punishment on all those living in it, then it will be clear to them that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:16 @It is a song of grief, and people will give voice to it, the daughters of the nations will give voice to it, even for Egypt and all her people, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:20 @Among those who have been put to the sword: they will give a resting-place with them to all their people.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:22 @There is Asshur and all her army, round about her last resting-place: all of them put to death by the sword:

bbe@Ezekiel:32:24 @There is Elam and all her people, round about her last resting-place: all of them put to death by the sword, who have gone down without circumcision into the lowest parts of the earth, who were a cause of fear in the land of the living, and are put to shame with those who go down to the underworld:

bbe@Ezekiel:32:25 @They have made a bed for her among the dead, and all her people are round about her resting-place: all of them without circumcision, put to death with the sword; for they were a cause of fear in the land of the living, and are put to shame with those who go down to the underworld: they have been given a place among those who have been put to the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:26 @There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her people, round about her last resting-place: all of them without circumcision, put to death by the sword; for they were a cause of fear in the land of the living.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:29 @There is Edom, her kings and all her princes, who have been given a resting-place with those who were put to the sword: they will be resting among those without circumcision, even with those who go down to the underworld.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:30 @There are the chiefs of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, who have gone down with those who have been put to the sword: they are shamed on account of all the fear caused by their strength; they are resting there without circumcision, among those who have been put to the sword, and are put to shame with those who go down to the underworld.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:31 @Pharaoh will see them and be comforted on account of all his people: even Pharaoh and all his army, put to death by the sword, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:32 @For he put his fear in the land of the living: and he will be put to rest among those without circumcision, with those who have been put to death with the sword, even Pharaoh and all his people, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:12 @And you, son of man, say to the children of your people, The righteousness of the upright man will not make him safe in the day when he does wrong; and the evil-doing of the evil man will not be the cause of his fall in the day when he is turned from his evil-doing; and the upright man will not have life because of his righteousness in the day when he does evil.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:17 @But the children of your people say, The way of the Lord is not equal: when it is they whose way is not equal.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:20 @And still you say, The way of the Lord is not equal. O children of Israel, I will be your judge, giving to everyone the reward of his ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:21 @Now in the twelfth year after we had been taken away prisoners, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month, one who had got away in flight from Jerusalem came to me, saying, The town has been taken.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:29 @Then they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I have made the land a waste and a cause of wonder, because of all the disgusting things which they have done,

bbe@Ezekiel:33:30 @And as for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking together about you by the walls and in the doorways of the houses, saying to one another, Come now, give ear to the word which comes from the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:5 @And they were wandering in every direction because there was no keeper: and they became food for all the beasts of the field.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:6 @And my sheep went out of the way, wandering through all the mountains and on every high hill: my sheep went here and there over all the face of the earth; and no one was troubled about them or went in search of them.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:8 @By my life, says the Lord, truly, because my sheep have been taken away, and my sheep became food for all the beasts of the field, because there was no keeper, and my keepers did not go in search of the sheep, but the keepers took food for themselves and gave my sheep no food;

bbe@Ezekiel:34:12 @As the keeper goes looking for his flock when he is among his wandering sheep, so I will go looking for my sheep, and will get them safely out of all the places where they have been sent wandering in the day of clouds and black night.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:18 @Does it seem a small thing to you to have taken your food on good grass-land while the rest of your grass-land is stamped down under your feet? and that after drinking from clear waters you make the rest of the waters dirty with your feet?

bbe@Ezekiel:34:25 @And I will make with them an agreement of peace, and will put an end to evil beasts through all the land: and they will be living safely in the waste land, sleeping in the woods.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:27 @And the tree of the field will give its fruit and the earth will give its increase, and they will be safe in their land; and they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I have had their yoke broken and have given them salvation from the hands of those who made them servants.

bbe@Ezekiel:35:7 @And I will make Mount Seir a cause for wonder and a waste, cutting off from it all comings and goings.

bbe@Ezekiel:35:8 @I will make his mountains full of those who have been put to death; in your valleys and in all your water-streams men will be falling by the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:35:12 @And you will see that I the Lord have had knowledge of all the bitter things which you have said against the mountains of Israel, saying, They have been made waste, they are given to us to take for our heritage.

bbe@Ezekiel:35:15 @You will become a waste, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:3 @For this cause be a prophet, and say, This is what the Lord has said: Because, even because they have been glad over you and put you to shame on every side, because you have become a heritage for the rest of the nations, and you are taken up on the lips of talkers and in the evil talk of the people:

bbe@Ezekiel:36:4 @For this reason, you mountains of Israel, give ear to the word of the Lord; this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, to the unpeopled wastes and to the towns where no one is living, from which the goods have been taken and which have been put to shame by the rest of the nations who are round about:

bbe@Ezekiel:36:5 @For this cause the Lord has said: Truly, in the heat of my bitter feeling I have said things against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who have taken my land as a heritage for themselves with the joy of all their heart, and with bitter envy of soul have made attacks on it:

bbe@Ezekiel:36:6 @For this cause be a prophet about the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, This is what the Lord has said: Truly, in my bitter feeling and in my wrath I have said these things, because you have undergone the shame of the nations:

bbe@Ezekiel:36:10 @And I will let your numbers be increased, all the children of Israel, even all of them: and the towns will be peopled and the waste places will have buildings;

bbe@Ezekiel:36:12 @Yes, I will have you walked on by the feet of men, even my people Israel; they will have you for a heritage and you will be theirs, and never again will you take their children from them.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:24 @For I will take you out from among the nations, and get you together from all the countries, and take you into your land.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:25 @And I will put clean water on you so that you may be clean: from all your unclean ways and from all your images I will make you clean.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:29 @And I will make you free from all your unclean ways: and at my voice the grain will come up and be increased, and I will not let you be short of food.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:33 @This is what the Lord has said: In the day when I make you clean from all your evil-doings I will let the towns be peopled and there will be building on the waste places.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:35 @And they will say, This land which was waste has become like the garden of Eden; and the towns which were unpeopled and wasted and pulled down are walled and peopled.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:1 @The hand of the Lord had been on me, and he took me out in the spirit of the Lord and put me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones;

bbe@Ezekiel:37:2 @And he made me go past them round about: and I saw that there was a very great number of them on the face of the wide valley, and they were very dry.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:11 @Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are all the children of Israel: and see, they are saying, Our bones have become dry our hope is gone, we are cut off completely.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:16 @And you, son of man, take one stick, writing on it, For Judah and for the children of Israel who are in his company: then take another stick, writing on it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel who are in his company:

bbe@Ezekiel:37:22 @And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel; and one king will be king over them all: and they will no longer be two nations, and will no longer be parted into two kingdoms:

bbe@Ezekiel:37:23 @And they will no longer make themselves unclean with their images or with their hated things or with any of their sins: but I will give them salvation from all their turning away in which they have done evil, and will make them clean; and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:24 @And my servant David will be king over them; and they will all have one keeper: and they will be guided by my orders and will keep my rules and do them.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:26 @And I will make an agreement of peace with them: it will be an eternal agreement with them: and I will have mercy on them and make their numbers great, and will put my holy place among them for ever.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:2 @Son of man, let your face be turned against Gog, of the land of Magog, the ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and be a prophet against him,

bbe@Ezekiel:38:3 @And say, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am against you, O Gog, ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:

bbe@Ezekiel:38:4 @And turning you round, I will put hooks in your mouth and make you come out with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them in full war-dress, a great force with breastplate and body-cover, all of them armed with swords:

bbe@Ezekiel:38:5 @Persia, Cush, and Put with them; all of them with body-cover and metal head-dress:

bbe@Ezekiel:38:6 @Gomer and all her forces; the people of Togarmah in the inmost parts of the north, with all his forces: a great number of peoples with you.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:7 @Be ready, make yourself ready, you and all the forces who are with you, and be ready for my orders.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:8 @After a long time you will get your orders: in the last years you will come into the land which has been given back from the sword, which has been got together out of a great number of peoples, on the mountains of Israel which have ever been a waste: but it has been taken out from the peoples and they will be living, all of them, without fear of danger.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:9 @And you will go up, you will come like a storm, you will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your forces, and a great number of peoples with you.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:11 @And you will say, I will go up to the land of small unwalled towns; I will go to those who are quiet, living, all of them, without fear of danger, without walls or locks or doors:

bbe@Ezekiel:38:13 @Sheba, and Dedan and her traders, Tarshish with all her traders, will say to you, Have you come to take our goods? have you got your armies together to take away our property by force? to take away silver and gold, cattle and goods, to go off with great wealth?

bbe@Ezekiel:38:15 @And you will come from your place in the inmost parts of the north, you and a great number of peoples with you, all of them on horseback, a great force and a strong army:

bbe@Ezekiel:38:20 @So that the fish of the sea and the birds of heaven and the beasts of the field and everything moving on the earth, and all the men who are on the face of the earth, will be shaking before me, and the mountains will be overturned and the high places will come down, and every wall will come falling down to the earth.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:21 @And I will send to all my mountains for a sword against him, says the Lord: every man's sword will be against his brother.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:1 @And you, son of man, be a prophet against Gog, and say, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, O Gog, ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:

bbe@Ezekiel:39:3 @And with a blow I will send your bow out of your left hand and your arrows falling from your right hand.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:4 @On the mountains of Israel you will come down, you and all your forces and the peoples who are with you: I will give you to cruel birds of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be their food.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:11 @And it will come about in those days, that I will give to Gog a last resting-place there in Israel, in the valley of Abarim on the east of the sea: and those who go through will be stopped: and there Gog and all his people will be put to rest, and the place will be named, The valley of Hamon-gog.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:13 @And all the people of the land will put them in the earth; and it will be to their honour in the day when I let my glory be seen, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:15 @And while they go through the land, if anyone sees a man's bone, he is to put up a sign by the place till those who are doing the work have put it in the earth in the valley of Hamon-gog.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:16 @And there they will put all the army of Gog in the earth. So they will make the land clean.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:17 @And you, son of man, this is what the Lord has said: Say to the birds of every sort and to all the beasts of the field, Get together and come; come together on every side to the offering which I am putting to death for you, a great offering on the mountains of Israel, so that you may have flesh for your food and blood for your drink.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:18 @The flesh of the men of war will be your food, and your drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of sheep and lambs, of he-goats, of oxen, all of them fat beasts of Bashan.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:20 @At my table you will have food in full measure, horses and war-carriages, great men and all the men of war, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:21 @And I will put my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see my punishments which I have put into effect, and my hand which I have put on them.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:23 @And it will be clear to the nations that the children of Israel were taken away prisoners for their evil-doing; because they did wrong against me, and my face was covered from them: so I gave them up into the hands of their attackers, and they all came to their end by the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:25 @For this cause the Lord has said, Now I will let the fate of Jacob be changed, and I will have mercy on all the children of Israel, and will take care of the honour of my holy name.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:26 @And they will be conscious of their shame and of all the wrong which they have done against me, when they are living in their land with no sense of danger and with no one to be a cause of fear to them;

bbe@Ezekiel:40:4 @And the man said to me, Son of man, see with your eyes and give hearing with your ears, and take to heart everything I am going to let you see; for in order that I might let you see them, you have come here: and give an account of all you see to the children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:5 @And there was a wall on the outside of the house all round, and in the man's hand there was a measuring rod six cubits long by a cubit and a hand's measure: so he took the measure of the building from side to side, one rod; and from base to top, one rod.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:10 @And the rooms of the doorway on the east were three on this side and three on that; all three were of the same size; and the uprights on this side and on that were of the same size.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:22 @And its windows, and the windows of its covered ways, and its palm-trees, were the same as those of the doorway looking to the east; and there were seven steps up to it; and the covered way went inside.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:42 @And there were four tables for the burned offering, made of cut stone, one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide and a cubit high, where the instruments were placed which were used for putting to death the burned offering and the beasts for the offerings.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:43 @And they had edges all round as wide as a man's hand: and on the tables was the flesh of the offerings.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:46 @And the room facing north is for the priests who have the care of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who, from among the sons of Levi, come near to the Lord to do the work of his house.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:47 @And he took the measure of the open square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide, being square; and the altar was in front of the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:48 @Then he took me to the covered way before the house, and took the measure of its uprights, five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other: and the doorway was fourteen cubits wide; and the side-walls of the doorway were three cubits on one side and three cubits on the other.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:2 @And the door-opening was ten cubits wide; and the side walls of the door-opening were five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other: and it was forty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:5 @Then he took the measure of the wall of the house, which was six cubits; and of the side-rooms round the house, which were four cubits wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:6 @And the side-rooms, room over room, were three times thirty; there were inlets in the wall of the house for the side-rooms round about, for supports in the wall of the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:7 @The side-rooms became wider as they went higher up the house, by the amount of the space let into the wall up round about the house, because of the inlets in the house; and one went up from the lowest floor by steps to the middle, and from the middle to the upper floor.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:8 @And I saw that the house had a stone floor all round; the bases of the side-rooms were a full rod of six great cubits high.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:9 @The wall supporting the side-rooms on the outside was five cubits thick: and there was a free space of five cubits between the side-rooms of the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:10 @And between the rooms was a space twenty cubits wide all round the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:11 @And the free space had doors opening from the side-rooms, one door on the north and one door on the south: and the free space was five cubits wide all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:12 @And the building which was in front of the separate place at the side to the west was seventy cubits wide; the wall of the building was five cubits thick all round and ninety cubits long.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:13 @And he took the measure of the house; it was a hundred cubits long; and the separate place and the building with its walls was a hundred cubits long;

bbe@Ezekiel:41:15 @And he took the measure of the building in front of the separate place which was at the back of it, and the pillared walks on one side and on the other side; they were a hundred cubits long; and the Temple and the inner part and its outer covered way were covered in;

bbe@Ezekiel:41:18 @And it had pictured forms of winged beings and palm-trees; a palm-tree between two winged ones, and every winged one had two faces;

bbe@Ezekiel:41:19 @So that there was the face of a man turned to the palm-tree on one side, and the face of a young lion on the other side: so it was made all round the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:20 @From earth level up to the windows there were winged ones and palm-trees pictured on the wall.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:22 @The altar was made of wood, and was three cubits high and two cubits long; it had angles, and its base and sides were of wood; and he said to me, This is the table which is before the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:25 @And on them were pictured winged ones and palm-trees, as on the walls; and a... of wood was on the front of the covered way outside.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:26 @And there were sloping windows and palm-trees on one side and on the other, on the sides of the covered way: and the side-rooms of the house and the...

bbe@Ezekiel:42:4 @And in front of the rooms was a walk, ten cubits wide and a hundred cubits long; and their doors were facing north.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:7 @And the wall which went outside by the side of the rooms, in the direction of the outer square in front of the rooms, was fifty cubits long.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:9 @And under these rooms was the way in from the east side, as one goes into them from the outer square at the head of the outer wall.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:11 @And there was a walk in front of them like that by the rooms on the north; they were equally long and wide; and the ways out of them were the same in design and had the same sort of doors.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:12 @And under the rooms on the south was a door at the head of the outer wall in the direction of the east as one goes in.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:13 @And he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms in front of the separate place are the holy rooms, where the priests who come near the Lord take the most holy things for their food: there the most holy things are placed, with the meal offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error; for the place is holy.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:15 @And when he had come to the end of measuring the inner house, he took me out to the doorway looking to the east, and took its measure all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:16 @He went round and took the measure of it on the east side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:17 @And he went round and took the measure of it on the north side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:18 @And he went round and took the measure of it on the south side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:19 @And he went round and took the measure of it on the west side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:20 @He took its measure on the four sides: and it had a wall all round, five hundred long and five hundred wide, separating what was holy from what was common.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:6 @And the voice of one talking to me came to my ears from inside the house; and the man was by my side.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:8 @By putting their doorstep by my doorstep, and the pillar of their door by the pillar of my door, with only a wall between me and them; and they have made my holy name unclean by the disgusting things which they have done: so in my wrath I sent destruction on them.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:11 @And they will be shamed by what they have done; so give them the knowledge of the form of the house and its structure, and the ways out of it and into it, and all its laws and its rules, writing it down for them: so that they may keep all its laws and do them.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:12 @This is the law of the house: On the top of the mountain all the space round it on every side will be most holy. See, this is the law of the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:13 @And these are the measures of the altar in cubits: (the cubit being a cubit and a hand's measure;) its hollow base is a cubit high and a cubit wide, and it has an overhanging edge as wide as a hand-stretch all round it:

bbe@Ezekiel:43:14 @And from the base on the earth level to the lower shelf, the altar is two cubits high and a cubit wide; and from the smaller shelf to the greater shelf it is four cubits high and a cubit wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:17 @And the shelf is fourteen cubits long and fourteen cubits wide, on its four sides; the edge round it is half a cubit; the base of it is a cubit all round, and its steps are facing the east.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:18 @And he said to me, Son of man, the Lord God has said, These are the rules for the altar, when they make it, for the offering of burned offerings on it and the draining out of the blood.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:20 @You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns and on the four angles of the shelf and on the edge all round: and you are to make it clean and free from sin.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:21 @And you are to take the ox of the sin-offering, and have it burned in the special place ordered for it in the house, outside the holy place.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:22 @And on the second day you are to have a he-goat without any mark on it offered for a sin-offering; and they are to make the altar clean as they did with the young ox.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:23 @And after you have made it clean, let a young ox without a mark be offered, and a male sheep from the flock without a mark.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:24 @And you are to take them before the Lord, and the priests will put salt on them, offering them up for a burned offering to the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:25 @Every day for seven days you are to give a goat for a sin-offering: and let them give in addition a young ox and a male sheep from the flock without any mark on them.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:26 @For seven days they are to make offerings to take away sin from the altar and to make it clean; so they are to make it holy.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:27 @And when these days have come to an end, then on the eighth day and after, the priests will make your burned offerings on the altar and your peace-offerings; and I will take pleasure in you, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:5 @And the Lord said to me, Son of man, take to heart, and let your eyes see and your ears be open to everything I say to you about all the rules of the house of the Lord and all its laws; and take note of the ways into the house and all the ways out of the holy place.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:7 @To have let men from strange lands, without circumcision of heart or flesh, come into my holy place, making my house unclean; and to have made the offering of my food, even the fat and the blood; and in addition to all your disgusting ways, you have let my agreement be broken.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:9 @For this cause the Lord has said, No man from a strange land, without circumcision of heart and flesh, of all those who are living among the children of Israel, is to come into my holy place.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:14 @But I will make them responsible for the care of the house and all its work and everything which is done in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:20 @They are not to have all the hair cut off their heads, and they are not to let their hair get long, but they are to have the ends of their hair cut.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:24 @In any cause, they are to be in the position of judges, judging in harmony with my decisions: they are to keep my laws and my rules in all my fixed feasts; and they are to keep my Sabbaths holy.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:29 @Their food is to be the meal offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error; and everything given specially to the Lord in Israel will be theirs.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:30 @And the best of all the first-fruits of everything, and every offering which is lifted up of all your offerings, will be for the priests: and you are to give the priest the first of your bread-making, so causing a blessing to come on your house.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:31 @The priests may not take for food any bird or beast which has come to a natural death or whose death has been caused by another animal.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:1 @And when you are making a distribution of the land, by the decision of the Lord, for your heritage, you are to make an offering to the Lord of a part of the land as holy: it is to be twenty-five thousand long and twenty thousand wide: all the land inside these limits is to be holy.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:2 @Of this, a square five hundred long and five hundred wide is to be for the holy place, with a space of fifty cubits all round it.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:6 @And as the property for the town you are to have a part five thousand wide and twenty-five thousand long, by the side of the offering of the holy part of the land: this is to be for all the children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:10 @Have true scales and a true ephah and a true bath.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:11 @The ephah and the bath are to be of the same measure, so that the bath is equal to a tenth of a homer, and the ephah to a tenth of a homer: the unit of measure is to be a homer.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:15 @And one lamb from the flock out of every two hundred, from all the families of Israel, for a meal offering and for a burned offering and for peace-offerings, to take away their sin, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:16 @All the people are to give this offering to the ruler.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:17 @And the ruler will be responsible for the burned offering and the meal offering and the drink offering, at the feasts and the new moons and the Sabbaths, at all the fixed feasts of the children of Israel: he will give the sin-offering and meal offering and burned offering and the peace-offerings, to take away the sin of the children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:19 @And the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin-offering and put it on the uprights at the sides of the doors of the house, and on the four angles of the shelf of the altar, and on the sides of the doorway of the inner square.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:22 @And on that day the ruler is to give for himself and for all the people of the land an ox for a sin-offering.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:24 @And he is to give a meal offering, an ephah for every ox and an ephah for every sheep and a hin of oil to every ephah.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:25 @In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, at the feast, he is to give the same for seven days; the sin-offering, the burned offering, the meal offering, and the oil as before.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:4 @And the burned offering offered to the Lord by the ruler on the Sabbath day is to be six lambs without a mark on them and a male sheep without a mark;

bbe@Ezekiel:46:5 @And the meal offering is to be an ephah for the sheep, and for the lambs whatever he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:6 @And at the time of the new moon it is to be a young ox of the herd without a mark on him, and six lambs and a male sheep, all without a mark:

bbe@Ezekiel:46:7 @And he is to give a meal offering, an ephah for the ox and an ephah for the sheep, and for the lambs whatever he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:11 @At the feasts and the fixed meetings the meal offerings are to be an ephah for an ox, and an ephah for a male sheep, and for the lambs whatever he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:14 @And you are to give, morning by morning, a meal offering with it, a sixth of an ephah and a third of a hin of oil dropped on the best meal; a meal offering offered to the Lord at all times by an eternal order.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:15 @And they are to give the lamb and the meal offering and the oil, morning by morning, for a burned offering at all times.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:20 @And he said to me, This is the place where the offering for error and the sin-offering are to be cooked in water by the priests, and where the meal offering is to be cooked in the oven; so that they may not be taken out into the outer square to make the people holy.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:22 @In the four angles there were spaces walled in, forty cubits long and thirty wide; the four were of the same size.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:23 @And there was a line of wall all round inside them, round all four, and boiling-places were made under it all round about.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:1 @And he took me back to the door of the house; and I saw that waters were flowing out from under the doorstep of the house on the east, for the house was facing east: and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south side of the altar.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:11 @The wet places and the pools will not be made sweet; they will be given up to salt.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:14 @And you are to make an equal division of it; as I gave my oath to your fathers to give it to you: for this land is to be your heritage.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:19 @It will be farmed by workers of the town from all the tribes of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:20 @The size of the offering all together is to be twenty-five thousand by twenty-five thousand: you are to make the holy offering a square, together with the property of the town.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:34 @At the west side, four thousand five hundred by measure, with their three doors, one for Gad, one for Asher, one for Naphtali.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:35 @It is to be eighteen thousand all round: and the name of the town from that day will be, The Lord is there.

bbe@Daniel:1:19 @And the king had talk with them; and among them all there was no one like Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah; so they were given places before the king.

bbe@Daniel:1:20 @And in any business needing wisdom and good sense, about which the king put questions to them, he saw that they were ten times better than all the wonder-workers and users of secret arts in all his kingdom.

bbe@Daniel:2:2 @Then the king gave orders that the wonder-workers, and the users of secret arts, and those who made use of evil powers, and the Chaldaeans, were to be sent for to make clear to the king his dreams. So they came and took their places before the king.

bbe@Daniel:2:4 @Then the Chaldaeans said to the king in the Aramaean language, O King, have life for ever: give your servants an account of your dream, and we will make clear to you the sense of it.

bbe@Daniel:2:5 @The king made answer and said to the Chaldaeans, This is my decision: if you do not make clear to me the dream and the sense of it, you will be cut in bits and your houses made waste.

bbe@Daniel:2:9 @That if you do not make my dream clear to me there is only one fate for you: for you have made ready false and evil words to say before me till the times are changed: so give me an account of the dream, and I will be certain that you are able to make the sense of it clear.

bbe@Daniel:2:10 @Then the Chaldaeans said to the king in answer, There is not a man on earth able to make clear the king's business; for no king, however great his power, has ever made such a request to any wonder-worker or user of secret arts or Chaldaean.

bbe@Daniel:2:12 @Because of this the king was angry and full of wrath, and gave orders for the destruction of all the wise men of Babylon.

bbe@Daniel:2:35 @Then the iron and the earth, the brass and the silver and the gold, were smashed together, and became like the dust on the floors where grain is crushed in summer; and the wind took them away so that no sign of them was to be seen: and the stone which gave the image a blow became a great mountain, covering all the earth.

bbe@Daniel:2:38 @Wherever the children of men are living; into whose hands he has given the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven, and has made you ruler over them all, you are the head of gold.

bbe@Daniel:2:39 @And after you another kingdom, lower than you, will come to power; and a third kingdom, of brass, ruling over all the earth.

bbe@Daniel:2:40 @And the fourth kingdom will be strong as iron: because, as all things are broken and overcome by iron, so it will have the power of crushing and smashing down all the earth.

bbe@Daniel:2:44 @And in the days of those kings, the God of heaven will put up a kingdom which will never come to destruction, and its power will never be given into the hands of another people, and all these kingdoms will be broken and overcome by it, but it will keep its place for ever.

bbe@Daniel:2:46 @Then King Nebuchadnezzar, falling down on his face, gave worship to Daniel, and gave orders for an offering and spices to be given to him;

bbe@Daniel:2:48 @Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him offerings in great number, and made him ruler over all the land of Babylon, and chief over all the wise men of Babylon.

bbe@Daniel:3:1 @Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide: he put it up in the valley of Dura, in the land of Babylon.

bbe@Daniel:3:2 @And Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to get together all the captains, the chiefs, the rulers, the wise men, the keepers of public money, the judges, the overseers, and all the rulers of the divisions of the country, to come to see the unveiling of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up.

bbe@Daniel:3:3 @Then the captains, the chiefs, the rulers, the wise men, the keepers of public money, the judges, the overseers, and all the rulers of the divisions of the country, came together to see the unveiling of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up; and they took their places before the image which Nebuchadnezzar had put up.

bbe@Daniel:3:5 @That when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, comes to your ears, you are to go down on your faces in worship before the image of gold which Nebuchadnezzar the king has put up:

bbe@Daniel:3:6 @And anyone not falling down and worshipping will that same hour be put into a burning and flaming fire.

bbe@Daniel:3:7 @So at that time, all the people, when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, and all sorts of instruments, came to their ears, went down on their faces in worship before the image of gold which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up.

bbe@Daniel:3:8 @At that time certain Chaldaeans came near and made a statement against the Jews.

bbe@Daniel:3:10 @You, O King, have given an order that every man, when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, comes to his ears, is to go down on his face in worship before the image of gold:

bbe@Daniel:3:11 @And anyone not falling down and worshipping is to be put into a burning and flaming fire.

bbe@Daniel:3:15 @Now if you are ready, on hearing the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, to go down on your faces in worship before the image which I have made, it is well: but if you will not give worship, that same hour you will be put into a burning and flaming fire; and what god is there who will be able to take you out of my hands?

bbe@Daniel:3:19 @Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of wrath, and the form of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: and he gave orders that the fire was to be heated up seven times more than it was generally heated.

bbe@Daniel:3:25 @He made answer and said, Look! I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are not damaged; and the form of the fourth is like a son of the gods.

bbe@Daniel:3:29 @And it is my decision that any people, nation, or language saying evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, will be cut to bits and their houses made waste: because there is no other god who is able to give salvation such as this.

bbe@Daniel:4:1 @Nebuchadnezzar the king, to all the peoples, nations, and languages living in all the earth: May your peace be increased.

bbe@Daniel:4:3 @How great are his signs! and how full of power are his wonders! his kingdom is an eternal kingdom and his rule goes on from generation to generation.

bbe@Daniel:4:4 @I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my place, and all things were going well for me in my great house:

bbe@Daniel:4:6 @And I gave orders for all the wise men of Babylon to come in before me so that they might make clear to me the sense of my dream.

bbe@Daniel:4:7 @Then the wonder-workers, the users of secret arts, the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs came in to me: and I put the dream before them but they did not make clear the sense of it to me.

bbe@Daniel:4:11 @And the tree became tall and strong, stretching up to heaven, and to be seen from the ends of the earth:

bbe@Daniel:4:12 @Its leaves were fair and it had much fruit, and in it was food enough for all: the beasts of the field had shade under it, and the birds of heaven were resting in its branches, and it gave food to all living things.

bbe@Daniel:4:18 @This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw; and do you, O Belteshazzar, make clear the sense of it, for all the wise men of my kingdom are unable to make the sense of it clear to me; but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.

bbe@Daniel:4:20 @The tree which you saw, which became tall and strong, stretching up to heaven and seen from the ends of the earth;

bbe@Daniel:4:21 @Which had fair leaves and much fruit, and had in it food for all; under which the beasts of the field were living, and in the branches of which the birds of heaven had their resting-places:

bbe@Daniel:4:28 @All this came to King Nebuchadnezzar.

bbe@Daniel:4:29 @At the end of twelve months he was walking on the roof of his great house in Babylon.

bbe@Daniel:4:34 @And at the end of the days, I, Nebuchadnezzar, lifting up my eyes to heaven, got back my reason, and, blessing the Most High, I gave praise and honour to him who is living for ever, whose rule is an eternal rule and whose kingdom goes on from generation to generation.

bbe@Daniel:4:35 @And all the people of the earth are as nothing: he does his pleasure in the army of heaven and among the people of the earth: and no one is able to keep back his hand, or say to him, What are you doing?

bbe@Daniel:4:37 @Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, give worship and praise and honour to the King of heaven; for all his works are true and his ways are right: and those who go in pride he is able to make low.

bbe@Daniel:5:2 @Belshazzar, while he was overcome with wine, gave orders for them to put before him the gold and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar, his father, had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem; so that the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, might take their drink from them.

bbe@Daniel:5:3 @Then they took in the gold and silver vessels which had been in the Temple of the house of God at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, took wine from them.

bbe@Daniel:5:5 @In that very hour the fingers of a man's hand were seen, writing opposite the support for the light on the white wall of the king's house, and the king saw the part of the hand which was writing.

bbe@Daniel:5:7 @The king, crying out with a loud voice, said that the users of secret arts, the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs, were to be sent for. The king made answer and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever is able to make out this writing, and make clear to me the sense of it, will be clothed in purple and have a chain of gold round his neck, and will be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom.

bbe@Daniel:5:8 @Then all the king's wise men came in: but they were not able to make out the writing or give the sense of it to the king.

bbe@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 reason like the wisdom of the gods were seen in him: and King Nebuchadnezzar, your father, made him master of the wonder-workers, and the users of secret arts, and the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs;

bbe@Daniel:5:12 @Because a most special spirit, and knowledge and reason and the power of reading dreams and unfolding dark sayings and answering hard questions, were seen to be in him, even in Daniel (named Belteshazzar by the king): now let Daniel be sent for, and he will make clear the sense of the writing

bbe@Daniel:5:14 @And I have had news of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you, and that light and reason and special wisdom have been seen in you.

bbe@Daniel:5:19 @And because of the great power he gave him, all peoples and nations and languages were shaking in fear before him: some he put to death and others he kept living, at his pleasure, lifting up some and putting others down as it pleased him.

bbe@Daniel:5:22 @And you, his son, O Belshazzar, have not kept your heart free from pride, though you had knowledge of all this;

bbe@Daniel:5:23 @But you have been lifting yourself up against the Lord of heaven, and they have put the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your women, have taken wine in them; and you have given praise to gods of silver and gold, of brass and iron and wood and stone, who are without the power of seeing or hearing, and without knowledge: and to the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways, you have not given glory;

bbe@Daniel:5:27 @Tekel; you have been put in the scales and seen to be under weight.

bbe@Daniel:5:30 @That very night Belshazzar, the king of the Chaldaeans, was put to death.

bbe@Daniel:6:1 @Darius was pleased to put over the kingdom a hundred and twenty captains, who were to be all through the kingdom;

bbe@Daniel:6:3 @Then this Daniel did his work better than the chief rulers and the captains, because there was a special spirit in him; and it was the king's purpose to put him over all the kingdom.

bbe@Daniel:6:7 @All the chief rulers of the kingdom, the chiefs and the captains, the wise men and the rulers, have made a common decision to put in force a law having the king's authority, and to give a strong order, that whoever makes any request to any god or man but you, O King, for thirty days, is to be put into the lions' hole.

bbe@Daniel:6:10 @And Daniel, on hearing that the writing had been signed, went into his house; (now he had windows in his room on the roof opening in the direction of Jerusalem;) and three times a day he went down on his knees in prayer and praise before his God, as he had done before.

bbe@Daniel:6:16 @Then the king gave the order, and they took Daniel and put him into the lions' hole. The king made answer and said to Daniel, Your God, whose servant you are at all times, will keep you safe.

bbe@Daniel:6:20 @And when he came near the hole where Daniel was, he gave a loud cry of grief; the king made answer and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whose servant you are at all times, able to keep you safe from the lions?

bbe@Daniel:6:24 @And at the king's order, they took those men who had said evil against Daniel, and put them in the lions' hole, with their wives and their children; and they had not got to the floor of the hole before the lions overcame them and all their bones were broken.

bbe@Daniel:6:25 @Then King Darius sent a letter to all the peoples, nations, and languages, living in all the earth: May your peace be increased.

bbe@Daniel:6:26 @It is my order that in all the kingdom of which I am ruler, men are to be shaking with fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, unchanging for ever, and his kingdom is one which will never come to destruction, his rule will go on to the end.

bbe@Daniel:6:27 @He gives salvation and makes men free from danger, and does signs and wonders in heaven and earth, who has kept Daniel safe from the power of the lions.

bbe@Daniel:7:7 @After this, in my vision of the night, I saw a fourth beast, a thing causing fear and very troubling, full of power and very strong; and it had great iron teeth: it took its food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping down the rest with its feet: it was different from all the beasts before it; and it had ten horns.

bbe@Daniel:7:14 @And to him was given authority and glory and a kingdom; and all peoples, nations, and languages were his servants: his authority is an eternal authority which will not come to an end, and his kingdom is one which will not come to destruction.

bbe@Daniel:7:16 @I came near to one of those who were waiting there, questioning him about what all this was

bbe@Daniel:7:19 @Then it was my desire to have certain knowledge about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, a cause of great fear, whose teeth were of iron and his nails of brass; who took his food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping on the rest with his feet;

bbe@Daniel:7:20 @And about the ten horns on his head and the other which came up, causing the fall of three; that horn which had eyes, and a mouth saying great things, which seemed to be greater than the other horns.

bbe@Daniel:7:23 @This is what he said: The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom which will come on earth, different from all the kingdoms, and it will overcome all the earth, crushing it down and smashing it.

bbe@Daniel:7:25 @And he will say words against the Most High, attempting to put an end to the saints of the Most High; and he will have the idea of changing times and law; and the saints will be given into his hands for a time and times and half a time.

bbe@Daniel:7:27 @And the kingdom and the authority and the power of the kingdoms under all the heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High: his kingdom is an eternal kingdom, and all powers will be his servants and do his pleasure.

bbe@Daniel:8:3 @And lifting up my eyes, I saw, there before the stream, a male sheep with two horns: and the two horns were high, but one was higher than the other, the higher one coming up last.

bbe@Daniel:8:5 @And while I was giving thought to this, I saw a he-goat coming from the west over the face of all the earth without touching the earth: and the he-goat had a great horn between his eyes.

bbe@Daniel:8:13 @Then there came to my ears the voice of a holy one talking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was talking, How long will the vision be while the regular burned offering is taken away, and the unclean thing causing fear is put up, and the holy place crushed under foot?

bbe@Daniel:8:18 @Now while he was talking to me, I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth: but touching me, he put me on my feet where I had been

bbe@Daniel:8:24 @And his power will be great, and he will be purposing strange things. And all will go well for him and he will do his pleasure; and he will send destruction on the strong ones.

bbe@Daniel:8:26 @And the vision of evenings and mornings which has been talked of is true: and keep the vision secret; for it has to do with the far-off future.

bbe@Daniel:9:1 @In the first year of Darius, the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the kingdom of the Chaldaeans;

bbe@Daniel:9:2 @In the first year of his rule, I, Daniel, saw clearly from the books the number of years given by the word of the Lord to the prophet Jeremiah, in which the making waste of Jerusalem was to be complete, that is, seventy years.

bbe@Daniel:9:6 @We have not given ear to your servants the prophets, who said words in your name to our kings and our rulers and our fathers and all the people of the land.

bbe@Daniel:9:7 @O Lord, righteousness is yours, but shame is on us, even to this day; and on the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, and on all Israel, those who are near and those who are far off, in all the countries where you have sent them because of the sin which they have done against you.

bbe@Daniel:9:11 @And all Israel have been sinners against your law, turning away so as not to give ear to your voice: and the curse has been let loose on us, and the oath recorded in the law of Moses, the servant of God, for we have done evil against him.

bbe@Daniel:9:12 @And he has given effect to his words which he said against us and against those who were our judges, by sending a great evil on us: for under all heaven there has not been done what has been done to Jerusalem.

bbe@Daniel:9:13 @As it was recorded in the law of Moses, all this evil has come on us: but we have made no prayer for grace from the Lord our God that we might be turned from our evil doings and come to true wisdom.

bbe@Daniel:9:14 @So the Lord has been watching over this evil and has made it come on us: for the Lord our God is upright in all his acts which he has done, and we have not given ear to his voice.

bbe@Daniel:9:16 @O Lord, because of your righteousness, let your wrath and your passion be turned away from your town Jerusalem, your holy mountain: because, through our sins and the evil-doing of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a cause of shame to all who are round about us.

bbe@Daniel:9:22 @And teaching me and talking to me he said, O Daniel, I have come now to give you wisdom.

bbe@Daniel:9:24 @Seventy weeks have been fixed for your people and your holy town, to let wrongdoing be complete and sin come to its full limit, and for the clearing away of evil-doing and the coming in of eternal righteousness: so that the vision and the word of the prophet may be stamped as true, and to put the holy oil on a most holy place.

bbe@Daniel:9:25 @Have then the certain knowledge that from the going out of the word for the building again of Jerusalem till the coming of a prince, on whom the holy oil has been put, will be seven weeks: in sixty-two weeks its building will be complete, with square and earthwork.

bbe@Daniel:9:27 @And a strong order will be sent out against the great number for one week; and so for half of the week the offering and the meal offering will come to an end; and in its place will be an unclean thing causing fear; till the destruction which has been fixed is let loose on him who has made waste.

bbe@Daniel:10:8 @So I was by myself, and I saw this great vision, and all my strength went from me; and the colour went from my face.

bbe@Daniel:10:17 @For how may this servant of my lord have talk with my lord? for, as for me, straight away my strength went from me and there was no breath in my body.

bbe@Daniel:11:2 @And now I will make clear to you what is true. There are still three kings to come in Persia, and the fourth will have much greater wealth than all of them: and when he has become strong through his wealth, he will put his forces in motion against all the kingdoms of Greece.

bbe@Daniel:11:8 @And their gods and their metal images and their fair vessels of silver and gold he will take away into the south; and for some years he will keep away from the king of the north.

bbe@Daniel:11:12 @And the army will be taken away, and his heart will be uplifted: he will be the cause of the downfall of tens of thousands, but he will not be strong.

bbe@Daniel:11:13 @And again the king of the north will get together an army greater than the first; and he will make an attack on him at the end of years, with a great army and much wealth.

bbe@Daniel:11:14 @In those times, a number will take up arms against the king of the south: and the children of the violent among your people will be lifting themselves up to make the vision come true; but it will be their downfall.

bbe@Daniel:11:17 @And it will be his purpose to come with the strength of all his kingdom, but in place of this he will make an agreement with him; and he will give him the daughter of women to send destruction on it; but this will not take place or come about.

bbe@Daniel:11:19 @Then his face will be turned to the strong places of his land: but his way will be stopped, causing his downfall, and he will not be seen again.

bbe@Daniel:11:20 @Then his place will be taken by one who will send out a man with the glory of a king to get wealth together; but after a short time destruction will overtake him, but not in wrath or in the fight.

bbe@Daniel:11:23 @And from the time when they make an agreement with him, he will be working falsely: for he will take up arms suddenly with a small force,

bbe@Daniel:11:26 @And his fears will overcome him and be the cause of his downfall, and his army will come to complete destruction, and a great number will be put to the sword.

bbe@Daniel:11:27 @And as for these two kings, their hearts will be fixed on doing evil and they will say false words at one table; but it will come to nothing: for the end will be at the time fixed.

bbe@Daniel:11:28 @And he will go back to his land with great wealth; and his heart will be against the holy agreement; and he will do his pleasure and go back to his land.

bbe@Daniel:11:33 @And those who are wise among the people will be the teachers of the mass of the people: but they will come to their downfall by the sword and by the flame, being made prisoners and undergoing loss for a long time.

bbe@Daniel:11:34 @Now at the time of their downfall they will have a little help, but numbers will be joined to them in the town, and in their separate heritages.

bbe@Daniel:11:36 @And the king will do his pleasure; he will put himself on high, lifting himself over every god, and saying things to be wondered at against the God of gods; and all will be well for him till the wrath is complete; for what has been purposed will be done.

bbe@Daniel:11:37 @He will have no respect for the gods of his fathers or for the god desired by women; he will have no respect for any god: for he will put himself on high over all.

bbe@Daniel:11:41 @And he will come into the beautiful land, and tens of thousands will be overcome: but these will be kept from falling into his hands: Edom and Moab and the chief of the children of Ammon.

bbe@Daniel:11:43 @But he will have power over the stores of gold and silver, and over all the valued things of the south: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians will be at his steps.

bbe@Daniel:12:2 @And a number of those who are sleeping in the dust of the earth will come out of their sleep, some to eternal life and some to eternal shame.

bbe@Daniel:12:7 @Then in my hearing the man clothed in linen, who was over the river, lifting up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, took an oath by him who is living for ever that it would be a time, times, and a half; and when the power of the crusher of the holy people comes to an end, all these things will be ended.

bbe@Daniel:12:10 @Till a number are tested and make themselves clean; and the evil-doers will do evil; for not one of the evil-doers will have knowledge; but all will be made clear to those who are wise.

bbe@Hosea:1:5 @And in that day I will let the bow of Israel be broken in the valley of Jezreel.

bbe@Hosea:1:7 @But I will have mercy on Judah and will give them salvation by the Lord their God, but not by the bow or the sword or by fighting or by horses or horsemen.

bbe@Hosea:2:2 @Take up the cause against your mother, take it up, for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband; let her put away her loose ways from her face, and her false ways from between her breasts;

bbe@Hosea:2:6 @For this cause I will put thorns in her road, building up a wall round her so that she may not go on her way.

bbe@Hosea:2:8 @For she had no knowledge that it was I who gave her the grain and the wine and the oil, increasing her silver and gold which they gave to the Baal.

bbe@Hosea:2:11 @And I will put an end to all her joy, her feasts, her new moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her regular meetings.

bbe@Hosea:2:13 @And I will give her punishment for the days of the Baals, to whom she has been burning perfumes, when she made herself fair with her nose-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, giving no thought to me, says the Lord.

bbe@Hosea:2:15 @And I will give her vine-gardens from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will give her answer there as in the days when she was young, and as in the time when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Hosea:2:16 @And in that day, says the Lord, you will say to me, Ishi; and you will never again give me the name of Baali;

bbe@Hosea:2:17 @For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and never again will she say their names.

bbe@Hosea:2:18 @And in that day I will make an agreement for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven and the things which go low on the earth; I will put an end to the bow and the sword and war in all the land, and will make them take their rest in peace.

bbe@Hosea:3:1 @And the Lord said to me, Give your love again to a woman who has a lover and is false to her husband, even as the Lord has love for the children of Israel, though they are turned to other gods and are lovers of grape-cakes.

bbe@Hosea:3:2 @So I got her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a half of barley;

bbe@Hosea:3:3 @And I said to her, You are to be mine for a long space of time; you are not to be false to me, and no other man is to have you for his wife; and so will I be to you.

bbe@Hosea:4:5 @You will not be able to keep on your feet by day, and by night the prophet will be falling down with you, and I will give your mother to destruction.

bbe@Hosea:4:10 @They will have food, but they will not be full; they will be false to me, but they will not be increased, because they no longer give thought to the Lord

bbe@Hosea:4:12 @My people get knowledge from their tree, and their rod gives them news; for a false spirit is the cause of their wandering, and they have been false to their God.

bbe@Hosea:4:13 @They make offerings on the tops of mountains, burning perfumes in high places, under trees of every sort, because their shade is good: and so your daughters are given up to loose ways and your brides are false to their husbands.

bbe@Hosea:4:15 @Do not you, O Israel, come into error; do not you, O Judah, come to Gilgal, or go up to Beth-aven, or take an oath, By the living Lord.

bbe@Hosea:4:17 @Ephraim is joined to false gods; let him be.

bbe@Hosea:4:18 @Their drink has become bitter; they are completely false; her rulers take pleasure in shame.

bbe@Hosea:5:2 @They have gone deep in the evil ways of Shittim, but I am the judge of all.

bbe@Hosea:5:3 @I have knowledge of Ephraim, and Israel is not secret from me; for now, O Ephraim, you have been false to me, Israel has become unclean.

bbe@Hosea:5:4 @Their works will not let them come back to their God, for a false spirit is in them and they have no knowledge of the Lord.

bbe@Hosea:5:5 @And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; and Ephraim will have a fall through his sins, and the fall of Judah will be the same as theirs.

bbe@Hosea:5:7 @They have been false to the Lord; they have given birth to strange children; now the new moon will make them waste with their fields.

bbe@Hosea:5:11 @Ephraim is troubled; he is crushed by his judges, because he took pleasure in walking after deceit.

bbe@Hosea:6:7 @But like a man, they have gone against the agreement; there they were false to me.

bbe@Hosea:6:10 @In Israel I have seen a very evil thing; there false ways are seen in Ephraim, Israel is unclean;

bbe@Hosea:7:1 @When my desire was for the fate of my people to be changed and to make Israel well, then the sin of Ephraim was made clear, and the evil-doing of Samaria; for their ways are false, and the thief comes into the house, while the band of outlaws takes property by force in the streets.

bbe@Hosea:7:2 @And they do not say to themselves that I keep in mind all their sin; now their evil acts come round them on every side; they are before my face.

bbe@Hosea:7:4 @They are all untrue; they are like a burning oven; the bread-maker does not make up the fire from the time when the paste is mixed till it is leavened.

bbe@Hosea:7:6 @For they have made their hearts ready like an oven, while they are waiting secretly; their wrath is sleeping all night; in the morning it is burning like a flaming fire.

bbe@Hosea:7:7 @They are all heated like an oven, and they put an end to their judges; all their kings have been made low; not one among them makes prayer to me.

bbe@Hosea:7:10 @And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; but for all this, they have not gone back to the Lord their God, or made search for him.

bbe@Hosea:7:13 @May trouble be theirs! for they have gone far away from me; and destruction, for they have been sinning against me; I was ready to be their saviour, but they said false words against me.

bbe@Hosea:7:16 @They have gone to what is of no value; they are like a false bow; their captains will come to destruction by the sword, and their ruler by my wrath; for this, the land of Egypt will make sport of them

bbe@Hosea:8:7 @For they have been planting the wind, and their fruit will be the storm; his grain has no stem, it will give no meal, and if it does, a strange nation will take it.

bbe@Hosea:8:10 @But though they give money to the nations for help, still I will send them in all directions; and in a short time they will be without a king and rulers.

bbe@Hosea:8:11 @Because Ephraim has been increasing altars for sin, altars have become a cause of sin to him.

bbe@Hosea:8:14 @For Israel has no memory of his Maker, and has put up the houses of kings; and Judah has made great the number of his walled towns. But I will send a fire on his towns and put an end to his great houses.

bbe@Hosea:9:4 @They will give no wine offering to the Lord, they will not make offerings ready for him; their bread will be like the bread of those in sorrow; all who take it will be unclean, because their bread will be only for their desire, it will not come into the house of the Lord.

bbe@Hosea:9:8 @There is great hate against the watchman of Ephraim, the people of my God; as for the prophet, there is a net in all his ways, and hate in the house of his God.

bbe@Hosea:9:10 @I made discovery of Israel as of grapes in the waste land; I saw your fathers as the first-fruits of the fig-tree in her early fruit time; but they came to Baal-peor, and made themselves holy to the thing of shame, and became disgusting like that to which they gave their love.

bbe@Hosea:9:15 @All their evil-doing is in Gilgal; there I had hate for them; because of their evil-doing I will send them out of my house; they will no longer be dear to me; all their rulers are uncontrolled.

bbe@Hosea:10:1 @Israel is a branching vine, full of fruit; as his fruit is increased, so the number of his altars is increased; as the land is fair, so they have made fair pillars.

bbe@Hosea:10:2 @Their mind is taken away; now they will be made waste: he will have their altars broken down, he will give their pillars to destruction.

bbe@Hosea:10:4 @Their words are foolish; they make agreements with false oaths, so punishment will come up like a poison-plant in a ploughed field.

bbe@Hosea:10:8 @And the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, will come to destruction; thorns and waste plants will come up on their altars; they will say to the mountains, Be a cover over us; and to the hills, Come down on us.

bbe@Hosea:10:14 @So a great outcry will go up from among your people, and all your strong places will be broken, as Beth-arbel was broken by Shalman in the day of war, as the mother was broken on the rocks with her children.

bbe@Hosea:11:2 @When I sent for them, then they went away from me; they made offerings to the Baals, burning perfumes to images.

bbe@Hosea:11:12 @The deceit of Ephraim and the false words of Israel are about me on every side....

bbe@Hosea:12:6 @So then, come back to your God; keep mercy and right, and be waiting at all times on your God.

bbe@Hosea:12:7 @As for Canaan, the scales of deceit are in his hands; he takes pleasure in twisted ways.

bbe@Hosea:12:8 @And Ephraim said, Now I have got wealth and much property; in all my works no sin may be seen in me.

bbe@Hosea:12:11 @In Gilead there is evil. They are quite without value; in Gilgal they make offerings of oxen; truly their altars are like masses of stones in the hollows of a ploughed field.

bbe@Hosea:13:1 @When the words of my law came from Ephraim, he was lifted up in Israel; but when he did evil through the Baal, death overtook him.

bbe@Hosea:13:2 @And now their sins are increased; they have made themselves a metal image, false gods from their silver, after their designs, all of them the work of the metal-workers; they say of them, Let them give offerings, let men give kisses to the oxen.

bbe@Hosea:13:8 @I will come face to face with them like a bear whose young ones have been taken from her, and their inmost hearts will be broken; there the dogs will make a meal of them; they will be wounded by the beasts of the field.

bbe@Hosea:13:10 @Where is your king, that he may be your saviour? and all your rulers, that they may take up your cause? of whom you said, Give me a king and rulers.

bbe@Hosea:13:15 @Though he gives fruit among his brothers, an east wind will come, the wind of the Lord coming up from the waste land, and his spring will become dry, his fountain will be without water: it will make waste the store of all the vessels of his desire

bbe@Hosea:14:1 @O Israel, come back to the Lord your God; for your evil-doing has been the cause of your fall.

bbe@Hosea:14:2 @Take with you words, and come back to the Lord; say to him, Let there be forgiveness for all wrongdoing, so that we may take what is good, and give in payment the fruit of our lips.

bbe@Hosea:14:3 @Assyria will not be our salvation; we will not go on horses; we will not again say to the work of our hands, You are our gods; for in you there is mercy for the child who has no father.

bbe@Hosea:14:8 @As for Ephraim, what has he to do with false gods any longer? I have given an answer and I will keep watch over him; I am like a branching fir-tree, from me comes your fruit.

bbe@Hosea:14:9 @He who is wise will see these things; he who has good sense will have knowledge of them. For the ways of the Lord are straight, and the upright will go in them, but sinners will be falling in them.

bbe@Joel:1:4 @What the worm did not make a meal of, has been taken by the locust; and what the locust did not take, has been food for the plant-worm; and what the plant-worm did not take, has been food for the field-fly.

bbe@Joel:1:5 @Come out of your sleep, you who are overcome with wine, and give yourselves to weeping; give cries of sorrow, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it has been cut off from your mouths.

bbe@Joel:1:7 @By him my vine is made waste and my fig-tree broken: he has taken all its fruit and sent it down to the earth; its branches are made white.

bbe@Joel:1:9 @The meal offering and the drink offering have been cut off from the house of the Lord; the priests, the Lord's servants, are sorrowing.

bbe@Joel:1:12 @The vine has become dry and the fig-tree is feeble; the pomegranate and the palm-tree and the apple-tree, even all the trees of the field, are dry: because joy has gone from the sons of men.

bbe@Joel:1:13 @Put haircloth round you and give yourselves to sorrow, you priests; give cries of grief, you servants of the altar: come in, and, clothed in haircloth, let the night go past, you servants of my God: for the meal offering and the drink offering have been kept back from the house of your God.

bbe@Joel:1:14 @Let a time be fixed for going without food, have a holy meeting, let the old men, even all the people of the land, come together to the house of the Lord your God, crying out to the Lord.

bbe@Joel:1:15 @Sorrow for the day! for the day of the Lord is near, and as destruction from the Ruler of all it will come.

bbe@Joel:1:17 @The grains have become small and dry under the spade; the store-houses are made waste, the grain-stores are broken down; for the grain is dry and dead.

bbe@Joel:1:19 @O Lord, my cry goes up to you: for fire has put an end to the grass-lands of the waste, and all the trees of the field are burned with its flame.

bbe@Joel:2:1 @Let the horn be sounded in Zion, and a war-cry in my holy mountain; let all the people of the land be troubled: for the day of the Lord is coming;

bbe@Joel:2:6 @At their coming the people are bent with pain: all faces become red together.

bbe@Joel:2:7 @They are running like strong men, they go over the wall like men of war; every man goes straight on his way, their lines are not broken.

bbe@Joel:2:9 @They make a rush on the town, running on the wall; they go up into the houses and in through the windows like a thief.

bbe@Joel:2:12 @But even now, says the Lord, come back to me with all your heart, keeping from food, with weeping and with sorrow:

bbe@Joel:2:14 @May it not be that he will again let his purpose be changed and let a blessing come after him, even a meal offering and a drink offering for the Lord your God?

bbe@Joel:2:17 @Let the priests, the servants of the Lord, be weeping between the covered way and the altar, and let them say, Have mercy on your people, O Lord, do not give up your heritage to shame, so that the nations become their rulers: why let them say among the peoples, Where is their God?

bbe@Joel:2:28 @And after that, it will come about, says the Lord, that I will send my spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, your old men will have dreams, your young men will see visions:

bbe@Joel:2:32 @And it will be that whoever makes his prayer to the name of the Lord will be kept safe: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem some will be kept safe, as the Lord has said, and will be among the small band marked out by the Lord.

bbe@Joel:3:1 @For in those days and in that time, when I let the fate of Judah and Jerusalem be changed,

bbe@Joel:3:2 @I will get together all the nations, and make them come down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and there I will take up with them the cause of my people and of my heritage Israel, whom they have sent wandering among the nations, and of my land which has been parted by them.

bbe@Joel:3:4 @And further, what are you to me, O Tyre and Zidon and all the circle of Philistia? will you give me back any payment? and if you do, quickly and suddenly I will send it back on your head,

bbe@Joel:3:6 @And the children of Judah and the children of Jerusalem you have given for a price to the sons of the Greeks, to send them far away from their land:

bbe@Joel:3:9 @Give this out among the nations; make ready for war: get the strong men awake; let all the men of war come near, let them come up.

bbe@Joel:3:11 @Come quickly, all you nations round about, and get yourselves together there: make your strong ones come down, O Lord.

bbe@Joel:3:12 @Let the nations be awake, and come to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there I will be seated as judge of all the nations round about.

bbe@Joel:3:14 @Masses on masses in the valley of decision! for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision.

bbe@Joel:3:16 @And the Lord will be thundering from Zion, and his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will be shaking: but the Lord will be a breastplate for his people and a strong place for the children of Israel.

bbe@Joel:3:17 @And you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, living in Zion, my holy mountain: and Jerusalem will be holy, and no strange person will ever again go through her.

bbe@Joel:3:18 @And it will come about in that day that the mountains will be dropping sweet wine, and the hills will be flowing with milk, and all the streams of Judah will be flowing with water; and a fountain will come out from the house of the Lord, watering the valley of acacia-trees.

bbe@Joel:3:20 @But Judah will be peopled for ever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

bbe@Amos:1:2 @And he said, The Lord will give a lion's cry from Zion, his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the fields of the keepers of sheep will become dry, and the top of Carmel will be wasted away.

bbe@Amos:1:5 @And I will have the locks of the door of Damascus broken, and him who is seated in power cut off from the valley of Aven, and him in whose hand is the rod from the house of Eden; and the people of Aram will go away as prisoners into Kir, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:1:6 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they took all the people away prisoners, to give them up to Edom.

bbe@Amos:1:7 @And I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, burning up its great houses:

bbe@Amos:1:9 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they gave up all the people prisoners to Edom, without giving a thought to the brothers' agreement between them.

bbe@Amos:1:10 @And I will send a fire on the wall of Tyre, burning up its great houses.

bbe@Amos:1:11 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because his sword was turned against his brother, without pity, and his wrath was burning at all times, and he was angry for ever.

bbe@Amos:1:14 @And I will make a fire in the wall of Rabbah, burning up its great houses, with loud cries in the days of war, with a storm in the day of the great wind:

bbe@Amos:2:3 @And I will have the judge cut off from among them, and all their captains I will put to death with him, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:2:4 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Judah, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given up the law of the Lord, and have not kept his rules; and their false ways, in which their fathers went, have made them go out of the right way.

bbe@Amos:2:5 @And I will send a fire on Judah, burning up the great houses of Jerusalem.

bbe@Amos:2:8 @By every altar they are stretched on clothing taken from those who are in their debt, drinking in the house of their god the wine of those who have made payment for wrongdoing.

bbe@Amos:2:9 @Though I sent destruction on the Amorite before them, who was tall as the cedar and strong as the oak-tree, cutting off his fruit from on high and his roots from under the earth.

bbe@Amos:3:1 @Give ear to this word which the Lord has said against you, O children of Israel, against all the family which I took up out of the land of Egypt, saying,

bbe@Amos:3:2 @You only of all the families of the earth have I taken care of: for this reason I will send punishment on you for all your sins.

bbe@Amos:3:3 @Is it possible for two to go walking together, if not by agreement?

bbe@Amos:3:5 @Is it possible for a bird to be taken in a net on the earth where no net has been put for him? will the net come up from the earth if it has taken nothing at all?

bbe@Amos:3:14 @For in the day when I give Israel punishment for his sins, I will send punishment on the altars of Beth-el, and the horns of the altar will be cut off and come down to the earth.

bbe@Amos:3:15 @And I will send destruction on the winter house with the summer house; the ivory houses will be falling down and the great houses will come to an end, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:4:4 @Come to Beth-el and do evil; to Gilgal, increasing the number of your sins; come with your offerings every morning and your tenths every three days:

bbe@Amos:4:6 @But in all your towns I have kept food from your teeth, and in all your places there has been need of bread: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:4:13 @For see, he who gave form to the mountains and made the wind, giving knowledge of his purpose to man, who makes the morning dark, and is walking on the high places of the earth: the Lord, the God of armies, is his name.

bbe@Amos:5:5 @Do not be looking for help to Beth-el, and do not go to Gilgal, or make your way to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal will certainly be taken prisoner, and Beth-el will come to nothing.

bbe@Amos:5:9 @Who sends sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the walled town.

bbe@Amos:5:16 @So these are the words of the Lord, the God of armies, the Lord: There will be weeping in all the open spaces; and in all the streets they will say, Sorrow! sorrow! and they will get in the farmer to the weeping, and the makers of sad songs to give cries of grief.

bbe@Amos:5:17 @In all the vine-gardens there will be cries of grief: for I will go through among you, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:5:19 @As if a man, running away from a lion, came face to face with a bear; or went into the house and put his hand on the wall and got a bite from a snake.

bbe@Amos:5:22 @Even if you give me your burned offerings and your meal offerings, I will not take pleasure in them: I will have nothing to do with the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.

bbe@Amos:5:25 @Did you come to me with offerings of beasts and meal offerings in the waste land for forty years, O Israel?

bbe@Amos:6:2 @Go on to Calneh and see; and from there go to Hamath the great; then go down to Gath of the Philistines: are you better than these kingdoms? or is your land wider than theirs?

bbe@Amos:6:13 @You whose joy is in a thing of no value, who say, Have we not taken for ourselves horns by the strength which is ours?

bbe@Amos:7:2 @And it came about that after they had taken all the grass of the land, I said, O Lord God, have mercy: how will Jacob be able to keep his place? for he is small.

bbe@Amos:7:5 @Then said I, O Lord God, let there be an end: how will Jacob be able to keep his place? for he is small.

bbe@Amos:7:7 @This is what he let me see: and I saw the Lord stationed by a wall made straight by a weighted line, and he had a weighted line in his hand.

bbe@Amos:8:5 @Saying, When will the new moon be gone, so that we may do trade in grain? and the Sabbath, so that we may put out in the market the produce of our fields? making the measure small and the price great, and trading falsely with scales of deceit;

bbe@Amos:8:7 @The Lord has taken an oath by the pride of Jacob, Truly I will ever keep in mind all their works.

bbe@Amos:8:8 @Will not the land be shaking with fear because of this, and everyone in it have sorrow? and all of it will be overflowing like the River; and it will be troubled and go down again like the River of Egypt.

bbe@Amos:8:10 @Your feasts will be turned into sorrow and all your melody into songs of grief; everyone will be clothed with haircloth, and the hair of every head will be cut; I will make the weeping like that for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.

bbe@Amos:9:1 @I saw the Lord stationed by the side of the altar, giving blows to the tops of the pillars so that the doorsteps were shaking: and he said, I will let all of them be broken with earth-shocks; I will put the last of them to the sword: if any one of them goes in flight he will not get away, not one of them will be safe.

bbe@Amos:9:5 @For the Lord, the God of armies, is he at whose touch the land is turned to water, and everyone in it will be given up to sorrow; all of it will be overflowing like the River, and will go down again like the River of Egypt;

bbe@Amos:9:8 @See, the eyes of the Lord are on the evil kingdom, and I will put an end to it in all the earth; but I will not send complete destruction on Jacob, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:9:9 @For see, I will give orders, and I will have Israel moved about among all the nations, as grain is moved about by the shaking of the tray, but not the smallest seed will be dropped on the earth.

bbe@Amos:9:10 @All those sinners among my people will be put to the sword who say, Evil will not overtake us or come face to face with us.

bbe@Amos:9:11 @In that day I will put up the tent of David which has come down, and make good its broken places; and I will put up again his damaged walls, building it up as in the past;

bbe@Amos:9:12 @So that the rest of Edom may be their heritage, and all the nations who have been named by my name, says the Lord, who is doing this.

bbe@Obadiah:1:2 @See, I have made you small among the nations: you are much looked down on.

bbe@Obadiah:1:5 @If thieves came, attacking you by night, (how are you cut off!) would they not go on taking till they had enough? if men came cutting your grapes would they take them all?

bbe@Obadiah:1:7 @All the men who were united with you have been false to you, driving you out to the edge of the land: the men who were at peace with you have overcome you; they have taken their heritage in your place.

bbe@Obadiah:1:11 @Because you were there watching when men from other lands took away his goods, and strange men came into his doors, and put the fate of Jerusalem to the decision of chance; you were like one of them.

bbe@Obadiah:1:13 @Do not go into the doors of my people on the day of their downfall; do not be looking on their trouble with pleasure on the day of their downfall, or put your hands on their goods on the day of their downfall.

bbe@Obadiah:1:15 @For the day of the Lord is coming quickly on all nations: as you have done it will be done to you; the reward of your acts will come on your head.

bbe@Obadiah:1:16 @For as you have been drinking on my holy mountain, so will all the nations go on drinking without end; they will go on drinking and the wine will go down their throats, and they will be as if they had never been.

bbe@Obadiah:1:18 @And the children of Jacob will be a fire and those of Joseph a flame, and the children of Esau dry stems of grass, burned up by them till all is gone: and there will be no people living in Esau; for the Lord has said it.

bbe@Obadiah:1:20 @And those of the children of Israel who were the first to be taken away as prisoners, will have their heritage among the Canaanites as far as Zarephath; and those who were taken away from Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will have the towns of the South.

bbe@Jonah:1:11 @And they said to him, What are we to do to you so that the sea may become calm for us? For the sea was getting rougher and rougher.

bbe@Jonah:1:12 @And he said to them, Take me up and put me into the sea, and the sea will become calm for you: for I am certain that because of me this great storm has come on you.

bbe@Jonah:2:3 @For you have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me.

bbe@Jonah:2:6 @I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God.

bbe@Jonah:2:8 @The worshippers of false gods have given up their only hope.

bbe@Jonah:2:9 @But I will make an offering to you with the voice of praise; I will give effect to my oaths. Salvation is the Lord's.

bbe@Jonah:3:4 @And Jonah first of all went a day's journey into the town, and crying out said, In forty days destruction will overtake Nineveh.

bbe@Micah:1:1 @The word of the Lord which came to Micah the Morashtite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah: his vision about Samaria and Jerusalem.

bbe@Micah:1:2 @Give ear, you peoples, all of you; give attention, O earth and everything in it: let the Lord God be witness against you, the Lord from his holy Temple.

bbe@Micah:1:4 @And the mountains will be turned to water under him, and the deep valleys will be broken open, like wax before the fire, like waters flowing down a slope.

bbe@Micah:1:5 @All this is because of the wrongdoing of Jacob and the sins of the children of Israel. What is the wrongdoing of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?

bbe@Micah:1:6 @So I will make Samaria into a field and the plantings of a vine-garden: I will send its stones falling down into the valley, uncovering its bases.

bbe@Micah:1:7 @And all her pictured images will be hammered into bits, and all the payments for her loose ways will be burned with fire, and all the images of her gods I will make waste: for with the price of a loose woman she got them together, and as the price of a loose woman will they be given back.

bbe@Micah:1:8 @For this I will be full of sorrow and give cries of grief; I will go uncovered and unclothed: I will give cries of grief like the jackals and will be in sorrow like the ostriches.

bbe@Micah:1:9 @For her wounds may not be made well: for it has come even to Judah, stretching up to the doorway of my people, even to Jerusalem.

bbe@Micah:1:10 @Give no word of it in Gath, let there be no weeping at all: at Beth-le-aphrah be rolling in the dust.

bbe@Micah:1:12 @For the one living in Maroth is waiting for good: for evil has come down from the Lord to the doorways of Jerusalem.

bbe@Micah:2:11 @If a man came with a false spirit of deceit, saying, I will be a prophet to you of wine and strong drink: he would be the sort of prophet for this people.

bbe@Micah:2:12 @I will certainly make all of you, O Jacob, come together; I will get together the rest of Israel; I will put them together like the sheep in their circle: like a flock in their green field; they will be full of the noise of men.

bbe@Micah:3:7 @And the seers will be shamed, and the readers of the future will be at a loss, all of them covering their lips; for there is no answer from God.

bbe@Micah:3:10 @They are building up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with evil-doing

bbe@Micah:3:12 @For this reason, Zion will be ploughed like a field because of you, and Jerusalem will become a mass of broken walls, and the mountain of the house like a high place in the woods.

bbe@Micah:4:2 @And a number of nations will go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will give us knowledge of his ways and we will be guided by his word: for from Zion the law will go out, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

bbe@Micah:4:5 @For all the peoples will be walking, every one in the name of his god, and we will be walking in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.

bbe@Micah:4:7 @And I will make her whose steps were uncertain a small band, and her who was feeble a strong nation: and the Lord will be their King in Mount Zion from now and for ever.

bbe@Micah:4:8 @And you, O tower of the flock, Ophel of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, even the earlier authority, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.

bbe@Micah:4:10 @Be in pain, make sounds of grief, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in childbirth: for now you will go out of the town, living in the open country, and will come even to Babylon; there you will have salvation; there the Lord will make you free from the hands of your haters

bbe@Micah:4:13 @Up! and let the grain be crushed, O daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron and your feet brass, and a number of peoples will be broken by you, and you will give up their increase to the Lord and their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.

bbe@Micah:5:1 @Now you will give yourselves deep wounds for grief; they will put up a wall round us: they will give the judge of Israel a blow on the face with a rod.

bbe@Micah:5:2 @And you, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, the least among the families of Judah, out of you one will come to me who is to be ruler in Israel; whose going out has been purposed from time past, from the eternal days.

bbe@Micah:5:6 @And they will make waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the edge of the sword: he will give us salvation from the Assyrian when he comes into our country, when his feet come inside the limit of our land.

bbe@Micah:5:9 @Your hand is lifted up against those who are against you, and all your haters will be cut off.

bbe@Micah:5:11 @I will have the towns of your land cut off and all your strong places pulled down:

bbe@Micah:6:5 @O my people, keep in mind now what was designed by Balak, king of Moab, and the answer which Balaam, son of Beor, gave him; the events, from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may be certain of the upright acts of the Lord.

bbe@Micah:6:8 @He has made clear to you, O man, what is good; and what is desired from you by the Lord; only doing what is right, and loving mercy, and walking without pride before your God.

bbe@Micah:6:11 @Is it possible for me to let wrong scales and the bag of false weights go without punishment?

bbe@Micah:6:12 @For its men of wealth are cruel, and its people have said what is not true, and their tongue is false in their mouth.

bbe@Micah:6:16 @For you have kept the laws of Omri and all the works of the family of Ahab, and you have been guided by their designs: so that I might make you a cause of wonder and your people a cause of hisses; and the shame of my people will be on you.

bbe@Micah:7:2 @The good man is gone from the earth, there is no one upright among men: they are all waiting secretly for blood, every man is going after his brother with a net.

bbe@Micah:7:4 @The best of them is like a waste plant, and their upright ones are like a wall of thorns. Sorrow! the day of their fate has come; now will trouble come on them.

bbe@Micah:7:7 @But as for me, I am looking to the Lord; I am waiting for the God of my salvation: the ears of my God will be open to me.

bbe@Micah:7:8 @Do not be glad because of my sorrow, O my hater: after my fall I will be lifted up; when I am seated in the dark, the Lord will be a light to me.

bbe@Micah:7:11 @A day for building your walls! in that day will your limits be stretched far and wide.

bbe@Micah:7:16 @The nations will see and be shamed because of all their strength; they will put their hands on their mouths, their ears will be stopped

bbe@Micah:7:19 @He will again have pity on us; he will put our sins under his feet: and you will send all our sins down into the heart of the sea.

bbe@Nahum:1:4 @He says sharp words to the sea and makes it dry, drying up all the rivers: Bashan is feeble, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon is without strength.

bbe@Nahum:1:5 @The mountains are shaking because of him, and the hills flowing away; the earth is falling to bits before him, the world and all who are in it.

bbe@Nahum:1:11 @One has gone out from you who is designing evil against the Lord, whose purposes are of no value.

bbe@Nahum:1:14 @The Lord has given an order about you, that no more of your name are to be planted: from the house of your gods I will have the pictured and metal images cut off; I will make your last resting-place a place of shame; for you are completely evil.

bbe@Nahum:2:5 @He takes the record of his great men: they go falling on their way; they go quickly to the wall, the cover is made ready.

bbe@Nahum:2:10 @Everything has been taken from her, all is gone, she has nothing more: the heart is turned to water, the knees are shaking, all are twisted in pain, and colour has gone from all faces.

bbe@Nahum:2:11 @Where is the lions' hole, the place where the young lions got their food, where the lion and the she-lion were walking with their young, without cause for fear?

bbe@Nahum:3:3 @Horsemen driving forward, and the shining sword and the bright spear: and a great number of wounded, and masses of dead bodies; they are falling over the bodies of the dead:

bbe@Nahum:3:4 @Because of all the false ways of the loose woman, expert in attraction and wise in secret arts, who takes nations in the net of her false ways, and families through her secret arts.

bbe@Nahum:3:6 @I will make you completely disgusting and full of shame, and will put you up to be looked at by all.

bbe@Nahum:3:7 @And it will come about that all who see you will go in flight from you and say, Nineveh is made waste: who will be weeping for her? where am I to get comforters for her?

bbe@Nahum:3:8 @Are you better than No-amon, seated on the Nile streams, with waters all round her; whose wall was the sea and her earthwork the waters?

bbe@Nahum:3:10 @But even she has been taken away, she has gone away as a prisoner: even her young children are smashed to bits at the top of all the streets: the fate of her honoured men is put to the decision of chance, and all her great men are put in chains

bbe@Nahum:3:12 @All your walled places will be like fig-trees and your people like the first figs, falling at a shake into the mouth which is open for them.

bbe@Nahum:3:17 @Your crowned ones are like the locusts, and your scribes like the clouds of insects which take cover in the walls on a cold day, but when the sun comes up they go in flight, and are seen no longer in their place.

bbe@Nahum:3:19 @Your pain may not be made better; you are wounded to death: all those hearing the news about you will be waving their hands in joy over you: for who has not undergone the weight of your evil-doing again and again?

bbe@Habakkuk:1:2 @How long, O Lord, will your ears be shut to my voice? I make an outcry to you about violent behaviour, but you do not send salvation.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:6 @For see, I am sending the Chaldaeans, that bitter and quick-moving nation; who go through the wide spaces of the earth to get for themselves living-places which are not theirs.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:9 @They are coming all of them with force; the direction of their faces is forward, the number of their prisoners is like the sands of the sea.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:10 @He makes little of kings, rulers are a sport to him; all the strong places are to be laughed at; for he makes earthworks and takes them.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:12 @Are you not eternal, O Lord my God, my Holy One? for you there is no death. O Lord, he has been ordered by you for our punishment; and by you, O Rock, he has been marked out to put us right.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:13 @Before your holy eyes sin may not be seen, and you are unable to put up with wrong; why, then, are your eyes on the false? why do you say nothing when the evil-doer puts an end to one who is more upright than himself?

bbe@Habakkuk:1:15 @He takes them all up with his hook, he takes them in his net, getting them together in his fishing-net: for which cause he is glad and full of joy.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:3 @For the vision is still for the fixed time, and it is moving quickly to the end, and it will not be false: even if it is slow in coming, go on waiting for it; because it will certainly come, it will not be kept back.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:5 @A curse on the cruel and false one! the man full of pride, who never has enough; who makes his desires wide as the underworld! he is like death; he is never full, but he makes all nations come to him, getting all peoples together to himself.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:6 @Will not all these take up a word of shame against him and a bitter saying against him, and say, A curse on him who goes on taking what is not his and is weighted down with the property of debtors!

bbe@Habakkuk:2:8 @Because you have taken their goods from great nations, all the rest of the peoples will take your goods from you; because of men's blood and violent acts against the land and the town and all who are living in it.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:11 @For the stone will give a cry out of the wall, and it will be answered by the board out of the woodwork.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:17 @For the violent acts against Lebanon will come on you, and the destruction of the cattle will be a cause of fear to you, because of men's blood and the violent acts against the land and the town and all who are living in it.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:18 @What profit is the pictured image to its maker? and as for the metal image, the false teacher, why does its maker put his faith in it, making false gods without a voice?

bbe@Habakkuk:2:19 @A curse on him who says to the wood, Awake! to the unbreathing stone, Up! let it be a teacher! See, it is plated with gold and silver, and there is no breath at all inside it.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:20 @But the Lord is in his holy Temple: let all the earth be quiet before him.

bbe@Habakkuk:3:6 @From his high place he sent shaking on the earth; he saw and nations were suddenly moved: and the eternal mountains were broken, the unchanging hills were bent down; his ways are eternal.

bbe@Habakkuk:3:8 @Was your wrath burning against the rivers? were you angry with the sea, that you went on your horses, on your war-carriages of salvation?

bbe@Habakkuk:3:13 @You went out for the salvation of your people, for the salvation of the one on whom your holy oil was put; wounding the head of the family of the evil-doer, uncovering the base even to the neck. Selah.

bbe@Habakkuk:3:14 @You have put your spears through his head, his horsemen were sent in flight like dry stems; they had joy in driving away the poor, in making a meal of them secretly.

bbe@Habakkuk:3:18 @Still, I will be glad in the Lord, my joy will be in the God of my salvation.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:1 @The word of the Lord which came to Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:3 @I will take away man and beast; I will take away the birds of the heaven and the fishes of the sea; causing the downfall of the evil-doers, and cutting man off from the face of the earth, says the Lord.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:4 @And my hand will be stretched out on Judah and on all the people of Jerusalem, cutting off the name of the Baal from this place, and the name of the false priests,

bbe@Zephaniah:1:8 @And it will come about in the day of the Lord's offering, that I will send punishment on the rulers and the king's sons and all who are clothed in robes from strange lands.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:9 @And in that day I will send punishment on all those who come jumping over the doorstep and make their master's house full of violent behaviour and deceit.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:11 @Because of the downfall of all the people of Canaan: all those who were weighted down with silver have been cut off.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:12 @And it will come about at that time, that I will go searching through Jerusalem with lights; and I will send punishment on the men who have become like wine stored over-long, who say to themselves, The Lord will not do good and will not do evil.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:13 @And their wealth will be violently taken away, and their houses will be made waste: they will go on building houses and never living in them, and planting vine-gardens but not drinking the wine from them.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:16 @A day of sounding the horn and the war-cry against the walled towns and the high towers.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:18 @Even their silver and their gold will not be able to keep them safe in the day of the Lord's wrath; but all the land will be burned up in the fire of his bitter wrath: for he will put an end, even suddenly, to all who are living in the land.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:3 @Make search for the Lord, all you quiet ones of the earth, who have done what is right in his eyes; make search for righteousness and a quiet heart: it may be that you will be safely covered in the day of the Lord's wrath.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:6 @And the land by the sea will be grass-land, with houses for keepers of sheep and walled places for flocks.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:9 @For this cause, by my life, says the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, truly Moab will become like Sodom and the children of Ammon like Gomorrah, given up to waste plants and salt pools and unpeopled for ever: the rest of my people will take their property, the overflow of my nation will take their heritage.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:11 @The Lord will let himself be seen by them: for he will make all the gods of the earth feeble; and men will go down before him in worship, everyone from his place, even all the sea-lands of the nations.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:14 @And herds will take their rest in the middle of her, all the beasts of the valley: the pelican and the porcupine will make their living-places on the tops of its pillars; the owl will be crying in the window; the raven will be seen on the doorstep.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:7 @I said, Certainly you will go in fear of me, and come under my training, so that whatever I may send on her may not be cut off before her eyes: but they got up early and made all their works evil.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:8 @For this reason, go on waiting for me, says the Lord, till the day when I come up as a witness: for my purpose is to send for the nations and to get the kingdoms together, so that I may let loose on them my passion, even all my burning wrath: for all the earth will be burned up in the fire of my bitter passion.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:9 @For then I will give the people a clean language, so that they may all make prayer to the Lord and be his servants with one mind.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:11 @In that day you will have no shame on account of all the things in which you did evil against me: for then I will take away from among you those who were lifted up in pride, and you will no longer be lifted up with pride in my holy mountain.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:13 @The rest of Israel will do no evil and say no false words; the tongue of deceit will not be seen in their mouth: for they will take their food and their rest, and no one will be a cause of fear to them.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:14 @Make melody, O daughter of Zion; give a loud cry, O Israel; be glad and let your heart be full of joy, O daughter of Jerusalem.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:16 @In that day it will be said to Jerusalem, Have no fear: O Zion, let not your hands be feeble.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:19 @See, at that time I will put an end to all who have been troubling you: I will give salvation to her whose steps are uncertain, and get together her who has been sent in flight; and I will make them a cause of praise and an honoured name in all the earth, when I let their fate be changed.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:20 @At that time I will make you come in, at that time I will get you together: for I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth when I let your fate be changed before your eyes, says the Lord.

bbe@Haggai:1:1 @In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,

bbe@Haggai:1:12 @Then Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and all the rest of the people, gave ear to the voice of the Lord their God and to the words of Haggai the prophet, because the Lord their God had sent him, and the people were in fear before the Lord.

bbe@Haggai:1:14 @And the spirit of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, was moved by the Lord, as was the spirit of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the Lord of armies, their God.

bbe@Haggai:2:2 @Say now to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and to the rest of the people,

bbe@Haggai:2:4 @But now be strong, O Zerubbabel, says the Lord; and be strong, O Joshua, son of Jehozadak, the high priest; and be strong, all you people of the land, says the Lord, and get to work: for I am with you, says the Lord of armies:

bbe@Haggai:2:7 @And I will make a shaking of all the nations, and the desired things of all nations will come: and I will make this house full of my glory, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Haggai:2:17 @And I sent burning and wasting and a rain of ice-drops on all the works of your hands; but still you were not turned to me, says the Lord.

bbe@Haggai:2:23 @In that day, says the Lord of armies, I will take you, O Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel, says the Lord, and will make you as a jewelled ring: for I have taken you to be mine, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Zechariah:1:8 @I saw in the night a man on a red horse, between the mountains in the valley, and at his back were horses, red, black, white, and of mixed colours.

bbe@Zechariah:1:9 @Then I said, O my lord, what are these? And the angel who was talking to me said to me, I will make clear to you what they are.

bbe@Zechariah:1:11 @And the man who was between the mountains, answering, said to the angel of the Lord, We have gone up and down through the earth, and all the earth is quiet and at rest.

bbe@Zechariah:1:12 @Then the angel of the Lord, answering, said, O Lord of armies, how long will it be before you have mercy on Jerusalem and on the towns of Judah against which your wrath has been burning for seventy years?

bbe@Zechariah:1:13 @And the Lord gave an answer in good and comforting words to the angel who was talking to me.

bbe@Zechariah:1:14 @And the angel who was talking to me said to me, Let your voice be loud and say, These are the words of the Lord of armies: I am greatly moved about the fate of Jerusalem and of Zion.

bbe@Zechariah:1:16 @So this is what the Lord has said: I have come back to Jerusalem with mercies; my house is to be put up in her, says the Lord of armies, and a line is to be stretched out over Jerusalem.

bbe@Zechariah:1:17 @And again let your voice be loud and say, This is what the Lord of armies has said: My towns will again be overflowing with good things, and again the Lord will give comfort to Zion and take Jerusalem for himself.

bbe@Zechariah:1:19 @And I said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these? And he said to me, These are the horns which have sent Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem in flight.

bbe@Zechariah:1:20 @And the Lord gave me a vision of four metal-workers.

bbe@Zechariah:2:2 @And I said to him, Where are you going? And he said to me, To take the measure of Jerusalem, to see how wide and how long it is.

bbe@Zechariah:2:3 @And the angel who was talking to me went out, and another angel went out, and, meeting him,

bbe@Zechariah:2:4 @Said to him, Go quickly and say to this young man, Jerusalem will be an unwalled town, because of the great number of men and cattle in her.

bbe@Zechariah:2:5 @For I, says the Lord, will be a wall of fire round about her, and I will be the glory inside her.

bbe@Zechariah:2:12 @And Judah will be the Lord's heritage in the holy land, and Jerusalem will again be his.

bbe@Zechariah:2:13 @Let all flesh be quiet and make no sound before the Lord: for he is awake and has come from his holy resting-place.

bbe@Zechariah:3:2 @And the Lord said to the Satan, May the Lord's word be sharp against you, O Satan, the word of the Lord who has taken Jerusalem for himself: is this not a burning branch pulled out of the fire?

bbe@Zechariah:4:1 @And the angel who was talking to me came again, awaking me as a man out of his sleep.

bbe@Zechariah:4:2 @And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see a light-support, made all of gold, with its cup on the top of it and seven lights on it; and there are seven pipes to every one of the lights which are on the top of it;

bbe@Zechariah:4:4 @And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?

bbe@Zechariah:4:5 @Then the angel who was talking to me, answering me, said, Have you no knowledge of what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

bbe@Zechariah:4:7 @Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel you will become level: and he will let all see the headstone, with cries of Grace, grace, to it.

bbe@Zechariah:4:10 @For who has had a poor opinion of the day of small things? for they will be glad when they see the weighted measuring-line in the hand of Zerubbabel

bbe@Zechariah:4:14 @And he said, These are the two sons of oil, whose place is by the Lord of all the earth.

bbe@Zechariah:5:3 @Then he said to me, This is the curse which goes out over the face of all the land: for long enough has every thief gone without punishment, and long enough has every taker of false oaths gone without punishment.

bbe@Zechariah:5:4 @And I will send it out, says the Lord of armies, and it will go into the house of the thief and into the house of him who takes a false oath by my name: and it will be in his house, causing its complete destruction, with its woodwork and its stones.

bbe@Zechariah:5:5 @And the angel who was talking to me went out and said to me, Let your eyes be lifted up now, and see the ephah which is going out.

bbe@Zechariah:5:6 @And I said, What is it? And he said, This is an ephah which is going out. And he said further, This is their evil-doing in all the land.

bbe@Zechariah:5:10 @And I said to the angel who was talking to me, Where are they taking the ephah?

bbe@Zechariah:6:4 @And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?

bbe@Zechariah:6:5 @And the angel, answering, said to me, These go out to the four winds of heaven from their place before the Lord of all the earth.

bbe@Zechariah:7:5 @Say to all the people of the land and to the priests, When you went without food and gave yourselves to grief in the fifth and the seventh months for these seventy years, did you ever do it because of me?

bbe@Zechariah:7:7 @Are not these the words which the Lord said to you by the earlier prophets, when Jerusalem was full of people and wealth, and the towns round about her and the South and the Lowland were peopled?

bbe@Zechariah:7:14 @But with a storm-wind I sent them in flight among all the nations of whom they had no knowledge. So the land was waste after them, so that no man went through or came back: for they had made waste the desired land.

bbe@Zechariah:8:3 @This is what the Lord has said: I have come back to Zion, and will make my living-place in Jerusalem: and Jerusalem will be named The town of good faith; and the mountain of the Lord of armies The holy mountain.

bbe@Zechariah:8:4 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: There will again be old men and old women seated in the open spaces of Jerusalem, every man with his stick in his hand because he is so old.

bbe@Zechariah:8:8 @And I will make them come and be living in Jerusalem and they will be to me a people and I will be to them a God, in good faith and in righteousness.

bbe@Zechariah:8:12 @For I will let the seed of peace be planted; the vine will give her fruit and the land will give her increase and the heavens will give their dew; and I will give to the rest of this people all these things for their heritage.

bbe@Zechariah:8:13 @And it will come about that, as you were a curse among the nations, O children of Judah and children of Israel, so I will give you salvation and you will be a blessing: have no fear and let your hands be strong.

bbe@Zechariah:8:15 @So in these days it is again my purpose to do good to Jerusalem and to the children of Judah: have no fear.

bbe@Zechariah:8:17 @Let no one have any evil thought in his heart against his neighbour; and have no love for false oaths: for all these things are hated by me, says the Lord.

bbe@Zechariah:8:22 @And great peoples and strong nations will come to give worship to the Lord of armies in Jerusalem and to make requests for grace from the Lord.

bbe@Zechariah:8:23 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: In those days, ten men from all the languages of the nations will put out their hands and take a grip of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for it has come to our ears that God is with you.

bbe@Zechariah:9:7 @And I will take away his blood from his mouth, and his disgusting things from between his teeth; and some of his people will be kept for our God: and he will be as a family in Judah, and Ekron as one living in Jerusalem.

bbe@Zechariah:9:9 @Be full of joy, O daughter of Zion; give a glad cry, O daughter of Jerusalem: see, your king comes to you: he is upright and has overcome; gentle and seated on an ass, on a young ass.

bbe@Zechariah:9:10 @And he will have the war-carriage cut off from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be cut off: and he will say words of peace to the nations: and his rule will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

bbe@Zechariah:9:15 @The Lord of armies will be a cover for them; and they will overcome, crushing under foot the armed men; they will take their blood for drink like wine: they will be full like the sides of the altar.

bbe@Zechariah:10:2 @For the images have said what is not true, and the readers of signs have seen deceit; they have given accounts of false dreams, they give comfort to no purpose: so they go out of the way like sheep, they are troubled because they have no keeper.

bbe@Zechariah:10:11 @And they will go through the sea of Egypt, and all the deep waters of the Nile will become dry: and the pride of Assyria will be made low, and the power of Egypt will be taken away.

bbe@Zechariah:11:2 @Give a cry of grief, O fir-tree, for the fall of the cedar, because the great ones have been made low: give cries of grief, O you oaks of Bashan, for the strong trees of the wood have come down.

bbe@Zechariah:11:5 @Whose owners put them to death and have no sense of sin; and those who get a price for them say, May the Lord be praised for I have much wealth: and the keepers of the flock have no pity for them.

bbe@Zechariah:11:10 @And I took my rod Beautiful, cutting it in two, so that the Lord's agreement, which he had made with all the peoples, might be broken.

bbe@Zechariah:11:13 @And the Lord said to me, Put it into the store-house, the price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty shekels of silver and put them into the store-house in the house of the Lord.

bbe@Zechariah:12:2 @See, I will make Jerusalem a cup of shaking fear to all the peoples round about, when Jerusalem is shut in.

bbe@Zechariah:12:3 @And it will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a stone of great weight for all the peoples; all those who take it up will be badly wounded; and all the nations of the earth will come together against it.

bbe@Zechariah:12:5 @And the families of Judah will say in their hearts, The people of Jerusalem have their strength in the Lord of armies, their God.

bbe@Zechariah:12:6 @In that day I will make the families of Judah like a pot with fire in it among trees, and like a flaming stick among cut grain; they will send destruction on all the peoples round about, on the right hand and on the left: and Jerusalem will be living again in the place which is hers, that is, in Jerusalem.

bbe@Zechariah:12:7 @And the Lord will give salvation to the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the family of David and the glory of the people of Jerusalem may not be greater than that of Judah.

bbe@Zechariah:12:8 @In that day the Lord will be a cover over the people of Jerusalem; and he who is feeble among them in that day will be as strong as David, and the family of David will be as God, as the angel of the Lord before them.

bbe@Zechariah:12:9 @And it will come about on that day that I will take in hand the destruction of all the nations who come against Jerusalem.

bbe@Zechariah:12:10 @And I will send down on the family of David and on the people of Jerusalem the spirit of grace and of prayer; and their eyes will be turned to the one who was wounded by their hands: and they will be weeping for him as for an only son, and their grief for him will be bitter, like the grief of one sorrowing for his oldest son.

bbe@Zechariah:12:11 @In that day there will be a great weeping in Jerusalem, like the weeping of Hadad-rimmon in the valley of Megiddon.

bbe@Zechariah:12:14 @And all the other families by themselves, and their wives by themselves.

bbe@Zechariah:13:1 @In that day there will be a fountain open to the family of David and to the people of Jerusalem, for sin and for that which is unclean.

bbe@Zechariah:13:2 @And it will come about on that day, says the Lord of armies, that I will have the names of the images cut off out of the land, and there will be no more memory of them: and I will send all the prophets and the unclean spirit away from the land.

bbe@Zechariah:13:3 @And if anyone goes on acting as a prophet, then his father and his mother who gave him life will say to him, You may not go on living, for you are saying what is false in the name of the Lord; and his father and his mother will put a sword through him when he does so.

bbe@Zechariah:13:4 @And it will come about in that day that the prophets will be shamed, every man on account of his vision, when he is talking as a prophet; and they will not put on a robe of hair for purposes of deceit:

bbe@Zechariah:13:8 @And it will come about that in all the land, says the Lord, two parts of it will be cut off and come to an end; but the third will be still living there.

bbe@Zechariah:14:2 @For I will get all the nations together to make war against Jerusalem; and the town will be overcome, and the goods taken from the houses, and the women taken by force: and half the town will go away as prisoners, and the rest of the people will not be cut off from the town.

bbe@Zechariah:14:4 @And in that day his feet will be on the Mount of Olives, which is opposite Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives will be parted in the middle to the east and to the west, forming a very great valley; and half the mountain will be moved to the north and half of it to the south.

bbe@Zechariah:14:5 @And the valley will be stopped... and you will go in flight as you went in flight from the earth-shock in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah: and the Lord my God will come, and all his holy ones with him.

bbe@Zechariah:14:7 @And it will be unbroken day, such as the Lord has knowledge of, without change of day and night, and even at nightfall it will be light.

bbe@Zechariah:14:8 @And on that day living waters will go out from Jerusalem; half of them flowing to the sea on the east and half to the sea on the west: in summer and in winter it will be so.

bbe@Zechariah:14:9 @And the Lord will be King over all the earth: in that day there will be one Lord and his name one.

bbe@Zechariah:14:10 @And all the land will become like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she will be lifted up and be living in her place; from the doorway of Benjamin to the place of the first doorway, to the doorway of the angle, and from the tower of Hananel to the king's wine-crushing places, men will be living in her.

bbe@Zechariah:14:11 @And there will be no more curse; but Jerusalem will be living without fear of danger.

bbe@Zechariah:14:12 @And this will be the disease which the Lord will send on all the peoples which have been warring against Jerusalem: their flesh will be wasted away while they are on their feet, their eyes will be wasted in their heads and their tongues in their mouths.

bbe@Zechariah:14:14 @And even Judah will be fighting against Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the nations round about will be massed together, a great store of gold and silver and clothing.

bbe@Zechariah:14:15 @And the horses and the transport beasts, the camels and the asses and all the beasts in those tents will be attacked by the same disease.

bbe@Zechariah:14:16 @And it will come about that everyone who is still living, of all those nations who came against Jerusalem, will go up from year to year to give worship to the King, the Lord of armies, and to keep the feast of tents.

bbe@Zechariah:14:17 @And it will be that if any one of all the families of the earth does not go up to Jerusalem to give worship to the King, the Lord of armies, on them there will be no rain

bbe@Zechariah:14:19 @This will be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations who do not go up to keep the feast of tents.

bbe@Zechariah:14:20 @On that day all the bells of the horses will be holy to the Lord, and the pots in the Lord's house will be like the basins before the altar.

bbe@Zechariah:14:21 @And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the Lord of armies: and all those who make offerings will come and take them for boiling their offerings: in that day there will be no more traders in the house of the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:1:1 @The word of the Lord to Israel by Malachi.

bbe@Malachi:1:2 @You have been loved by me, says the Lord. But you say, Where was your love for us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? says the Lord: but Jacob was loved by me,

bbe@Malachi:1:3 @And Esau was hated, and I sent destruction on his mountains, and gave his heritage to the beasts of the waste land.

bbe@Malachi:1:4 @Though Edom says, We are crushed down but we will come back, building up the waste places; this is what the Lord of armies has said: They may put up buildings, but I will have them pulled down; and they will be named The land of evil-doing, and The people against whom the Lord keeps his wrath for ever.

bbe@Malachi:1:5 @And your eyes will see it; and you will say, The Lord is great even outside the limits of Israel.

bbe@Malachi:1:6 @A son gives honour to his father, and a servant has fear of his master: if then I am a father, where is my honour? and if I am a master, where is the fear of me? says the Lord of armies to you, O priests, who give no value to my name. And you say, How have we not given value to your name?

bbe@Malachi:1:7 @You put unclean bread on my altar. And you say, How have we made it unclean? By your saying, The table of the Lord is of no value.

bbe@Malachi:1:8 @And when you give what is blind for an offering, it is no evil! and when you give what is damaged and ill, it is no evil! Give it now to your ruler; will he be pleased with you, or will you have his approval? says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:1:9 @And now, make request for the grace of God so that he may have mercy on us: this has been your doing: will he give his approval to any of you? says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:1:10 @If only there was one among you who would see that the doors were shut, so that you might not put a light to the fire on my altar for nothing! I have no pleasure in you, says the Lord of armies, and I will not take an offering from your hands.

bbe@Malachi:1:11 @For, from the coming up of the sun till its going down, my name is great among the Gentiles; and in every place the smell of burning flesh is offered to my name, and a clean offering: for my name is great among the Gentiles, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:1:12 @But you make it unholy by saying, The Lord's table has become unclean, and his food is of no value.

bbe@Malachi:1:13 @And you say, See, what a weariness it is! and you let out your breath at it, says the Lord of armies; and you have given what has been cut about by beasts, and what is damaged in its feet and ill; this is the offering you give: will this be pleasing to me from your hands? says the Lord.

bbe@Malachi:1:14 @A curse on the false man who has a male in his flock, and takes his oath, and gives to the Lord a damaged thing: for I am a great King, says the Lord of armies, and my name is to be feared among the Gentiles.

bbe@Malachi:2:1 @And now, O you priests, this order is for you.

bbe@Malachi:2:2 @If you will not give ear and take it to heart, to give glory to my name, says the Lord of armies, then I will send the curse on you and will put a curse on your blessing: truly, even now I have put a curse on it, because you do not take it to heart.

bbe@Malachi:2:3 @See, I will have your arm cut off, and will put waste on your faces, even the waste from your feasts; and you will be taken away with it.

bbe@Malachi:2:4 @And you will be certain that I have sent this order to you, so that it might be my agreement with Levi, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:2:5 @My agreement with him was on my side life and peace, and I gave them to him; on his side fear, and he had fear of me and gave honour to my name.

bbe@Malachi:2:6 @True teaching was in his mouth, and no evil was seen on his lips: he was walking with me in peace and righteousness, turning numbers of people away from evil-doing.

bbe@Malachi:2:7 @For it is right for the priest's lips to keep knowledge, and for men to be waiting for the law from his mouth: for he is the servant sent from the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:2:8 @But you are turned out of the way; you have made the law hard for numbers of people; you have made the agreement of Levi of no value, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:2:9 @And so I have taken away your honour and made you low before all the people, even as you have not kept my ways, and have given no thought to me in using the law.

bbe@Malachi:2:10 @Have we not all one father? has not one God made us? why are we, every one of us, acting falsely to his brother, putting shame on the agreement of our fathers?

bbe@Malachi:2:11 @Judah has been acting falsely, and a disgusting thing has been done in Jerusalem; for Judah has made unclean the holy place of the Lord which is dear to him, and has taken as his wife the daughter of a strange god.

bbe@Malachi:2:12 @The Lord will have the man who does this cut off root and branch out of the tents of Jacob, and him who makes an offering to the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:2:13 @And this again you do: covering the altar of the Lord with weeping and with grief, so that he gives no more thought to the offering, and does not take it with pleasure from your hand.

bbe@Malachi:2:14 @But you say, For what reason? Because the Lord has been a witness between you and the wife of your early years, to whom you have been untrue, though she is your friend and the wife to whom you have given your word.

bbe@Malachi:2:15 @... So give thought to your spirit, and let no one be false to the wife of his early years.

bbe@Malachi:2:16 @For I am against the putting away of a wife, says the Lord, the God of Israel, and against him who is clothed with violent acts, says the Lord of armies: so give thought to your spirit and do not be false in your acts.

bbe@Malachi:2:17 @You have made the Lord tired with your words. And still you say, How have we made him tired? By your saying, Everyone who does evil is good in the eyes of the Lord, and he has delight in them; or, Where is God the judge?

bbe@Malachi:3:1 @See, I am sending my servant, and he will make ready the way before me; and the Lord, whom you are looking for, will suddenly come to his Temple; and the angel of the agreement, in whom you have delight, see, he is coming, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:3:2 @But by whom may the day of his coming be faced? and who may keep his place when he is seen? for he is like the metal-tester's fire and the cleaner's soap.

bbe@Malachi:3:3 @He will take his seat, testing and cleaning the sons of Levi, burning away the evil from them as from gold and silver; so that they may make offerings to the Lord in righteousness.

bbe@Malachi:3:4 @Then the offering of Judah and Jerusalem will be pleasing to the Lord, as in days gone by, and as in past years.

bbe@Malachi:3:5 @And I will come near to you for judging; I will quickly be a witness against the wonder-workers, against those who have been untrue in married life, against those who take false oaths; against those who keep back from the servant his payment, and who are hard on the widow and the child without a father, who do not give his rights to the man from a strange country, and have no fear of me, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:3:6 @For I am the Lord, I am unchanged; and so you, O sons of Jacob, have not been cut off.

bbe@Malachi:3:7 @From the days of your fathers you have been turned away from my rules and have not kept them. Come back to me, and I will come back to you, says the Lord of armies. But you say, How are we to come back?

bbe@Malachi:3:8 @Will a man keep back from God what is right? But you have kept back what is mine. But you say, What have we kept back from you? Tenths and offerings.

bbe@Malachi:3:9 @You are cursed with a curse; for you have kept back from me what is mine, even all this nation.

bbe@Malachi:3:10 @Let your tenths come into the store-house so that there may be food in my house, and put me to the test by doing so, says the Lord of armies, and see if I do not make the windows of heaven open and send down such a blessing on you that there is no room for it

bbe@Malachi:3:11 @And on your account I will keep back the locusts from wasting the fruits of your land; and the fruit of your vine will not be dropped on the field before its time, says the Lord of armies

bbe@Malachi:3:12 @And you will be named happy by all nations: for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:3:13 @Your words have been strong against me, says the Lord. And still you say, What have we said against you?

bbe@Malachi:3:14 @You have said, It is no use worshipping God: what profit have we had from keeping his orders, and going in clothing of sorrow before the Lord of armies?

bbe@Malachi:3:15 @And now to us the men of pride seem happy; yes, the evil-doers are doing well; they put God to the test and are safe.

bbe@Malachi:3:16 @Then those in whom was the fear of the Lord had talk together: and the Lord gave ear, and it was recorded in a book to be kept in mind before him, for those who had the fear of the Lord and gave thought to his name.

bbe@Malachi:3:17 @And they will be mine, says the Lord, in the day when I make them my special property; and I will have mercy on them as a man has mercy on his son who is his servant.

bbe@Malachi:3:18 @Then you will again see how the upright man is different from the sinner, and the servant of God from him who is not.

bbe@Malachi:4:1 @For see, the day is coming, it is burning like an oven; all the men of pride and all who do evil will be dry stems of grass: and in the day which is coming they will be burned up, says the Lord of armies, till they have not a root or a branch.

bbe@Malachi:4:2 @But to you who give worship to my name, the sun of righteousness will come up with new life in its wings; and you will go out, playing like young oxen full of food.

bbe@Malachi:4:3 @And the evil-doers will be crushed under you, they will be dust under your feet, in the day when I do my work, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:4:4 @Keep in mind the law of Moses, my servant, which I gave him in Horeb for all Israel, even the rules and the decisions.

bbe@Malachi:4:5 @See, I am sending you Elijah the prophet before the day of the Lord comes, that great day, greatly to be feared.

bbe@Malachi:4:6 @And by him the hearts of fathers will be turned to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers; for fear that I may come and put the earth under a curse.
