nasb@Info @The New American Standard Bible is a modern-English update of the American Standard Version. Completed in 1971, the New American Standard Bible has received high praises from many scholars for its accuracy and readability.

nasb@Genesis:1:21 @God created the great sea monsters and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarmed after their kind, and every winged bird after its kind; and God saw that it was good.

nasb@Genesis:2:7 @Then the LORD God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being.

nasb@Genesis:2:8 @The LORD God planted a garden toward the east, in Eden; and there He placed the man whom He had formed.

nasb@Genesis:2:10 @Now a river flowed out of Eden to water the garden; and from there it divided and became four rivers.

nasb@Genesis:2:11 @The name of the first is Pishon; it flows around the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold.

nasb@Genesis:2:13 @The name of the second river is Gihon; it flows around the whole land of Cush.

nasb@Genesis:2:14 @The name of the third river is Tigris; it flows east of Assyria. And the fourth river is the Euphrates.

nasb@Genesis:2:19 @Out of the ground the LORD God formed every beast of the field and every bird of the sky, and brought them to the man to see what he would call them; and whatever the man called a living creature, that was its name.

nasb@Genesis:2:20 @The man gave names to all the cattle, and to the birds of the sky, and to every beast of the field, but for Adam there was not found a helper suitable for him.

nasb@Genesis:2:24 @For this reason a man shall leave his father and his mother, and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.

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

nasb@Genesis:3:12 @The man said, "The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me from the tree, and I ate."

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

nasb@Genesis:3:20 @Now the man called his wife's name Eve, because she was the mother of all the living.

nasb@Genesis:3:21 @The LORD God made garments of skin for Adam and his wife, and clothed them.

nasb@Genesis:3:22 @Then the LORD God said, "Behold, the man has become like one of Us, knowing good and evil; and now, he might stretch out his hand, and take also from the tree of life, and eat, and live forever"--

nasb@Genesis:4:3 @So it came about in the course of time that Cain brought an offering to the LORD of the fruit of the ground.

nasb@Genesis:4:5 @but for Cain and for his offering He had no regard. So Cain became very angry and his countenance fell.

nasb@Genesis:4:8 @Cain told Abel his brother. And it came about when they were in the field, that Cain rose up against Abel his brother and killed him.

nasb@Genesis:4:10 @He said, "What have you done? The voice of your brother's blood is crying to Me from the ground.

nasb@Genesis:4:13 @Cain said to the LORD, "My punishment is too great to bear!

nasb@Genesis:4:14" @Behold, You have driven me this day from the face of the ground; and from Your face I will be hidden, and I will be a vagrant and a wanderer on the earth, and whoever finds me will kill me."

nasb@Genesis:4:17 @Cain had relations with his wife and she conceived, and gave birth to Enoch; and he built a city, and called the name of the city Enoch, after the name of his son.

nasb@Genesis:4:18 @Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad became the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael became the father of Methushael, and Methushael became the father of Lamech.

nasb@Genesis:4:19 @Lamech took to himself two wives- the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other, Zillah.

nasb@Genesis:4:21 @His brother's name was Jubal; he was the father of all those who play the lyre and pipe.

nasb@Genesis:4:22 @As for Zillah, she also gave birth to Tubal-cain, the forger of all implements of bronze and iron; and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.

nasb@Genesis:4:23 @Lamech said to his wives, "Adah and Zillah, Listen to my voice, You wives of Lamech, Give heed to my speech, For I have killed a man for wounding me; And a boy for striking me;

nasb@Genesis:4:24 @If Cain is avenged sevenfold, Then Lamech seventy-sevenfold."

nasb@Genesis:4:25 @Adam had relations with his wife again; and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, for, she said, "God has appointed me another offspring in place of Abel, for Cain killed him."

nasb@Genesis:4:26 @To Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of the LORD.

nasb@Genesis:5:2 @He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man in the day when they were created.

nasb@Genesis:5:3 @When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth.

nasb@Genesis:5:4 @Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:6 @Seth lived one hundred and five years, and became the father of Enosh.

nasb@Genesis:5:7 @Then Seth lived eight hundred and seven years after he became the father of Enosh, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:9 @Enosh lived ninety years, and became the father of Kenan.

nasb@Genesis:5:10 @Then Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years after he became the father of Kenan, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:12 @Kenan lived seventy years, and became the father of Mahalalel.

nasb@Genesis:5:13 @Then Kenan lived eight hundred and forty years after he became the father of Mahalalel, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:15 @Mahalalel lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Jared.

nasb@Genesis:5:16 @Then Mahalalel lived eight hundred and thirty years after he became the father of Jared, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:18 @Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and became the father of Enoch.

nasb@Genesis:5:19 @Then Jared lived eight hundred years after he became the father of Enoch, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:21 @Enoch lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Methuselah.

nasb@Genesis:5:22 @Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:5:25 @Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, and became the father of Lamech.

nasb@Genesis:5:26 @Then Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years after he became the father of Lamech, and he had other sons and daughters.

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

nasb@Genesis:5:28 @Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and became the father of a son.

nasb@Genesis:5:29 @Now he called his name Noah, saying, "This one will give us rest from our work and from the toil of our hands arising from the ground which the LORD has cursed."

nasb@Genesis:5:30 @Then Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years after he became the father of Noah, and he had other sons and daughters.

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

nasb@Genesis:5:32 @Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

nasb@Genesis:6:1 @Now it came about, when men began to multiply on the face of the land, and daughters were born to them,

nasb@Genesis:6:2 @that the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful; and they took wives for themselves, whomever they chose.

nasb@Genesis:6:4 @The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

nasb@Genesis:6:9 @These are the records of the generations of Noah. Noah was a righteous man, blameless in his time; Noah walked with God.

nasb@Genesis:6:10 @Noah became the father of three sons- Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

nasb@Genesis:6:13 @Then God said to Noah, " The end of all flesh has come before Me; for the earth is filled with violence because of them; and behold, I am about to destroy them with the earth.

nasb@Genesis:6:20" @ Of the birds after their kind, and of the animals after their kind, of every creeping thing of the ground after its kind, two of every kind will come to you to keep them alive.

nasb@Genesis:6:21" @As for you, take for yourself some of all food which is edible, and gather it to yourself; and it shall be for food for you and for them."

nasb@Genesis:6:7 @Then the LORD said to Noah, "Enter the ark, you and all your household, for you alone I have seen to be righteous before Me in this time.

nasb@Genesis:6:6 @Now Noah was six hundred years old when the flood of water came upon the earth.

nasb@Genesis:6:10 @It came about after the seven days, that the water of the flood came upon the earth.

nasb@Genesis:6:11 @In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on the same day all the fountains of the great deep burst open, and the floodgates of the sky were opened.

nasb@Genesis:6:13 @On the very same day Noah and Shem and Ham and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them, entered the ark,

nasb@Genesis:6:17 @Then the flood came upon the earth for forty days, and the water increased and lifted up the ark, so that it rose above the earth.

nasb@Genesis:7:1 @But God remembered Noah and all the beasts and all the cattle that were with him in the ark; and God caused a wind to pass over the earth, and the water subsided.

nasb@Genesis:7:5 @The water decreased steadily until the tenth month; in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, the tops of the mountains became visible.

nasb@Genesis:7:6 @Then it came about at the end of forty days, that Noah opened the window of the ark which he had made;

nasb@Genesis:7:11 @The dove came to him toward evening, and behold, in her beak was a freshly picked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the water was abated from the earth.

nasb@Genesis:7:13 @Now it came about in the six hundred and first year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the water was dried up from the earth. Then Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and behold, the surface of the ground was dried up.

nasb@Genesis:7:21 @The LORD smelled the soothing aroma; and the LORD said to Himself, "I will never again curse the ground on account of man, for the intent of man's heart is evil from his youth; and I will never again destroy every living thing, as I have done.

nasb@Genesis:7:22" @While the earth remains, Seedtime and harvest, And cold and heat, And summer and winter, And day and night Shall not cease."

nasb@Genesis:7:10 @and with every living creature that is with you, the birds, the cattle, and every beast of the earth with you; of all that comes out of the ark, even every beast of the earth.

nasb@Genesis:7:12 @God said, "This is the sign of the covenant which I am making between Me and you and every living creature that is with you, for all successive generations;

nasb@Genesis:7:13 @I set My bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between Me and the earth.

nasb@Genesis:7:14" @It shall come about, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the bow will be seen in the cloud,

nasb@Genesis:7:15 @and I will remember My covenant, which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; and never again shall the water become a flood to destroy all flesh.

nasb@Genesis:7:16" @When the bow is in the cloud, then I will look upon it, to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth."

nasb@Genesis:7:17 @And God said to Noah, "This is the sign of the covenant which I have established between Me and all flesh that is on the earth."

nasb@Genesis:7:18 @Now the sons of Noah who came out of the ark were Shem and Ham and Japheth; and Ham was the father of Canaan.

nasb@Genesis:7:21 @He drank of the wine and became drunk, and uncovered himself inside his tent.

nasb@Genesis:7:23 @But Shem and Japheth took a garment and laid it upon both their shoulders and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; and their faces were turned away, so that they did not see their father's nakedness.

nasb@Genesis:8:2 @The sons of Japheth were Gomer and Magog and Madai and Javan and Tubal and Meshech and Tiras.

nasb@Genesis:8:3 @The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.

nasb@Genesis:8:8 @Now Cush became the father of Nimrod; he became a mighty one on the earth.

nasb@Genesis:8:13 @Mizraim became the father of Ludim and Anamim and Lehabim and Naphtuhim

nasb@Genesis:8:14 @and Pathrusim and Casluhim (from which came the Philistines) and Caphtorim.

nasb@Genesis:8:15 @Canaan became the father of Sidon, his firstborn, and Heth

nasb@Genesis:8:24 @Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber.

nasb@Genesis:8:25 @Two sons were born to Eber; the name of the one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother's name was Joktan.

nasb@Genesis:8:26 @Joktan became the father of Almodad and Sheleph and Hazarmaveth and Jerah

nasb@Genesis:8:30 @Now their settlement extended from Mesha as you go toward Sephar, the hill country of the east.

nasb@Genesis:9:1 @Now the whole earth used the same language and the same words.

nasb@Genesis:9:2 @It came about as they journeyed east, that they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.

nasb@Genesis:9:3 @They said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks and burn them thoroughly." And they used brick for stone, and they used tar for mortar.

nasb@Genesis:9:4 @They said, "Come, let us build for ourselves a city, and a tower whose top will reach into heaven, and let us make for ourselves a name, otherwise we will be scattered abroad over the face of the whole earth."

nasb@Genesis:9:5 @The LORD came down to see the city and the tower which the sons of men had built.

nasb@Genesis:9:6 @The LORD said, "Behold, they are one people, and they all have the same language. And this is what they began to do, and now nothing which they purpose to do will be impossible for them.

nasb@Genesis:9:7" @Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, so that they will not understand one another's speech."

nasb@Genesis:9:9 @Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the LORD confused the language of the whole earth; and from there the LORD scattered them abroad over the face of the whole earth.

nasb@Genesis:9:10 @These are the records of the generations of Shem. Shem was one hundred years old, and became the father of Arpachshad two years after the flood;

nasb@Genesis:9:11 @and Shem lived five hundred years after he became the father of Arpachshad, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:9:12 @Arpachshad lived thirty-five years, and became the father of Shelah;

nasb@Genesis:9:13 @and Arpachshad lived four hundred and three years after he became the father of Shelah, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:9:14 @Shelah lived thirty years, and became the father of Eber;

nasb@Genesis:9:15 @and Shelah lived four hundred and three years after he became the father of Eber, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:9:16 @Eber lived thirty-four years, and became the father of Peleg;

nasb@Genesis:9:17 @and Eber lived four hundred and thirty years after he became the father of Peleg, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:9:18 @Peleg lived thirty years, and became the father of Reu;

nasb@Genesis:9:19 @and Peleg lived two hundred and nine years after he became the father of Reu, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:9:20 @Reu lived thirty-two years, and became the father of Serug;

nasb@Genesis:9:21 @and Reu lived two hundred and seven years after he became the father of Serug, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:9:22 @Serug lived thirty years, and became the father of Nahor;

nasb@Genesis:9:23 @and Serug lived two hundred years after he became the father of Nahor, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:9:24 @Nahor lived twenty-nine years, and became the father of Terah;

nasb@Genesis:9:25 @and Nahor lived one hundred and nineteen years after he became the father of Terah, and he had other sons and daughters.

nasb@Genesis:9:26 @Terah lived seventy years, and became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran.

nasb@Genesis:9:27 @Now these are the records of the generations of Terah. Terah became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran; and Haran became the father of Lot.

nasb@Genesis:9:29 @Abram and Nahor took wives for themselves. The name of Abram's wife was Sarai; and the name of Nahor's wife was Milcah, the daughter of Haran, the father of Milcah and Iscah.

nasb@Genesis:10:2 @And I will make you a great nation, And I will bless you, And make your name great; And so you shall be a blessing;

nasb@Genesis:10:5 @Abram took Sarai his wife and Lot his nephew, and all their possessions which they had accumulated, and the persons which they had acquired in Haran, and they set out for the land of Canaan; thus they came to the land of Canaan.

nasb@Genesis:10:8 @Then he proceeded from there to the mountain on the east of Bethel, and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east; and there he built an altar to the LORD and called upon the name of the LORD.

nasb@Genesis:10:11 @It came about when he came near to Egypt, that he said to Sarai his wife, "See now, I know that you are a beautiful woman;

nasb@Genesis:10:12 @and when the Egyptians see you, they will say, 'This is his wife'; and they will kill me, but they will let you live.

nasb@Genesis:10:13" @Please say that you are my sister so that it may go well with me because of you, and that I may live on account of you."

nasb@Genesis:10:14 @It came about when Abram came into Egypt, the Egyptians saw that the woman was very beautiful.

nasb@Genesis:10:16 @Therefore he treated Abram well for her sake; and gave him sheep and oxen and donkeys and male and female servants and female donkeys and camels.

nasb@Genesis:10:18 @Then Pharaoh called Abram and said, " What is this you have done to me? Why did you not tell me that she was your wife?

nasb@Genesis:10:20 @Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him; and they escorted him away, with his wife and all that belonged to him.

nasb@Genesis:11:4 @to the place of the altar which he had made there formerly; and there Abram called on the name of the LORD.

nasb@Genesis:11:7 @And there was strife between the herdsmen of Abram's livestock and the herdsmen of Lot's livestock. Now the Canaanite and the Perizzite were dwelling then in the land.

nasb@Genesis:11:8 @So Abram said to Lot, "Please let there be no strife between you and me, nor between my herdsmen and your herdsmen, for we are brothers.

nasb@Genesis:11:9" @Is not the whole land before you? Please separate from me; if to the left, then I will go to the right; or if to the right, then I will go to the left."

nasb@Genesis:11:13 @Now the men of Sodom were wicked exceedingly and sinners against the LORD.

nasb@Genesis:11:18 @Then Abram moved his tent and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and there he built an altar to the LORD.

nasb@Genesis:12:1 @And it came about in the days of Amraphel king of Shinar, Arioch king of Ellasar, Chedorlaomer king of Elam, and Tidal king of Goiim,

nasb@Genesis:12:2 @that they made war with Bera king of Sodom, and with Birsha king of Gomorrah, Shinab king of Admah, and Shemeber king of Zeboiim, and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar).

nasb@Genesis:12:3 @All these came as allies to the valley of Siddim (that is, the Salt Sea).

nasb@Genesis:12:4 @Twelve years they had served Chedorlaomer, but the thirteenth year they rebelled.

nasb@Genesis:12:5 @In the fourteenth year Chedorlaomer and the kings that were with him, came and defeated the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim and the Zuzim in Ham and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim,

nasb@Genesis:12:7 @Then they turned back and came to En-mishpat (that is, Kadesh), and conquered all the country of the Amalekites, and also the Amorites, who lived in Hazazon-tamar.

nasb@Genesis:12:8 @And the king of Sodom and the king of Gomorrah and the king of Admah and the king of Zeboiim and the king of Bela (that is, Zoar) came out; and they arrayed for battle against them in the valley of Siddim,

nasb@Genesis:12:9 @against Chedorlaomer king of Elam and Tidal king of Goiim and Amraphel king of Shinar and Arioch king of Ellasar--four kings against five.

nasb@Genesis:12:13 @Then a fugitive came and told Abram the Hebrew. Now he was living by the oaks of Mamre the Amorite, brother of Eshcol and brother of Aner, and these were allies with Abram.

nasb@Genesis:12:14 @When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he led out his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and went in pursuit as far as Dan.

nasb@Genesis:12:16 @He brought back all the goods, and also brought back his relative Lot with his possessions, and also the women, and the people.

nasb@Genesis:12:17 @Then after his return from the defeat of Chedorlaomer and the kings who were with him, the king of Sodom went out to meet him at the valley of Shaveh (that is, the King's Valley).

nasb@Genesis:12:18 @And Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; now he was a priest of God Most High.

nasb@Genesis:12:21 @The king of Sodom said to Abram, "Give the people to me and take the goods for yourself."

nasb@Genesis:12:24" @I will take nothing except what the young men have eaten, and the share of the men who went with me, Aner, Eshcol, and Mamre; let them take their share."

nasb@Genesis:13:1 @After these things the word of the LORD came to Abram in a vision, saying, " Do not fear, Abram, I am a shield to you; Your reward shall be very great."

nasb@Genesis:13:2 @Abram said, "O Lord GOD, what will You give me, since I am childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus?"

nasb@Genesis:13:3 @And Abram said, "Since You have given no offspring to me, one born in my house is my heir."

nasb@Genesis:13:4 @Then behold, the word of the LORD came to him, saying, "This man will not be your heir; but one who will come forth from your own body, he shall be your heir."

nasb@Genesis:13:9 @So He said to him, "Bring Me a three year old heifer, and a three year old female goat, and a three year old ram, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon."

nasb@Genesis:13:11 @The birds of prey came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.

nasb@Genesis:13:14" @But I will also judge the nation whom they will serve, and afterward they will come out with many possessions.

nasb@Genesis:13:17 @It came about when the sun had set, that it was very dark, and behold, there appeared a smoking oven and a flaming torch which passed between these pieces.

nasb@Genesis:14:1 @Now Sarai, Abram's wife had borne him no children, and she had an Egyptian maid whose name was Hagar.

nasb@Genesis:14:2 @So Sarai said to Abram, "Now behold, the LORD has prevented me from bearing children. Please go in to my maid; perhaps I will obtain children through her." And Abram listened to the voice of Sarai.

nasb@Genesis:14:5 @And Sarai said to Abram, " May the wrong done me be upon you. I gave my maid into your arms, but when she saw that she had conceived, I was despised in her sight. May the LORD judge between you and me."

nasb@Genesis:14:8 @He said, "Hagar, Sarai's maid, where have you come from and where are you going?" And she said, "I am fleeing from the presence of my mistress Sarai."

nasb@Genesis:14:11 @The angel of the LORD said to her further, "Behold, you are with child, And you will bear a son; And you shall call his name Ishmael, Because the LORD has given heed to your affliction.

nasb@Genesis:14:13 @Then she called the name of the LORD who spoke to her, "You are a God who sees"; for she said, " Have I even remained alive here after seeing Him?"

nasb@Genesis:14:15 @So Hagar bore Abram a son; and Abram called the name of his son, whom Hagar bore, Ishmael.

nasb@Genesis:14:17 @Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am God Almighty; Walk before Me, and be blameless.

nasb@Genesis:14:2" @I will establish My covenant between Me and you, And I will multiply you exceedingly."

nasb@Genesis:14:4" @As for Me, behold, My covenant is with you, And you will be the father of a multitude of nations.

nasb@Genesis:14:5" @No longer shall your name be called Abram, But your name shall be Abraham; For I have made you the father of a multitude of nations.

nasb@Genesis:14:6" @I will make you exceedingly fruitful, and I will make nations of you, and kings will come forth from you.

nasb@Genesis:14:7" @I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you.

nasb@Genesis:14:10" @ This is My covenant, which you shall keep, between Me and you and your descendants after you- every male among you shall be circumcised.

nasb@Genesis:14:11" @And you shall be circumcised in the flesh of your foreskin, and it shall be the sign of the covenant between Me and you.

nasb@Genesis:14:15 @Then God said to Abraham, "As for Sarai your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall be her name.

nasb@Genesis:14:16" @I will bless her, and indeed I will give you a son by her. Then I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of peoples will come from her."

nasb@Genesis:14:19 @But God said, "No, but Sarah your wife will bear you a son, and you shall call his name Isaac; and I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant for his descendants after him.

nasb@Genesis:14:20" @As for Ishmael, I have heard you; behold, I will bless him, and will make him fruitful and will multiply him exceedingly. He shall become the father of twelve princes, and I will make him a great nation.

nasb@Genesis:14:23 @Then Abraham took Ishmael his son, and all the servants who were born in his house and all who were bought with his money, every male among the men of Abraham's household, and circumcised the flesh of their foreskin in the very same day, as God had said to him.

nasb@Genesis:14:26 @In the very same day Abraham was circumcised, and Ishmael his son.

nasb@Genesis:14:27 @All the men of his household, who were born in the house or bought with money from a foreigner, were circumcised with him.

nasb@Genesis:15:2 @When he lifted up his eyes and looked, behold, three men were standing opposite him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them and bowed himself to the earth,

nasb@Genesis:15:6 @So Abraham hurried into the tent to Sarah, and said, "Quickly, prepare three measures of fine flour, knead it and make bread cakes."

nasb@Genesis:15:10 @He said, " I will surely return to you at this time next year; and behold, Sarah your wife will have a son." And Sarah was listening at the tent door, which was behind him.

nasb@Genesis:15:12 @Sarah laughed to herself, saying, " After I have become old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?"

nasb@Genesis:15:14" @ Is anything too difficult for the LORD? At the appointed time I will return to you, at this time next year, and Sarah will have a son."

nasb@Genesis:15:16 @Then the men rose up from there, and looked down toward Sodom; and Abraham was walking with them to send them off.

nasb@Genesis:15:18 @since Abraham will surely become a great and mighty nation, and in him all the nations of the earth will be blessed?

nasb@Genesis:15:21" @I will go down now, and see if they have done entirely according to its outcry, which has come to Me; and if not, I will know."

nasb@Genesis:15:22 @Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, while Abraham was still standing before the LORD.

nasb@Genesis:15:23 @Abraham came near and said, " Will You indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?

nasb@Genesis:16:1 @Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening as Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground.

nasb@Genesis:16:4 @Before they lay down, the men of the city, the men of Sodom, surrounded the house, both young and old, all the people from every quarter;

nasb@Genesis:16:5 @and they called to Lot and said to him, " Where are the men who came to you tonight? Bring them out to us that we may have relations with them."

nasb@Genesis:16:8" @Now behold, I have two daughters who have not had relations with man; please let me bring them out to you, and do to them whatever you like; only do nothing to these men, inasmuch as they have come under the shelter of my roof."

nasb@Genesis:16:9 @But they said, "Stand aside." Furthermore, they said, "This one came in as an alien, and already he is acting like a judge; now we will treat you worse than them." So they pressed hard against Lot and came near to break the door.

nasb@Genesis:16:10 @But the men reached out their hands and brought Lot into the house with them, and shut the door.

nasb@Genesis:16:11 @They struck the men who were at the doorway of the house with blindness, both small and great, so that they wearied themselves trying to find the doorway.

nasb@Genesis:16:12 @Then the two men said to Lot, "Whom else have you here? A son-in-law, and your sons, and your daughters, and whomever you have in the city, bring them out of the place;

nasb@Genesis:16:13 @for we are about to destroy this place, because their outcry has become so great before the LORD that the LORD has sent us to destroy it."

nasb@Genesis:16:15 @When morning dawned, the angels urged Lot, saying, "Up, take your wife and your two daughters who are here, or you will be swept away in the punishment of the city."

nasb@Genesis:16:16 @But he hesitated. So the men seized his hand and the hand of his wife and the hands of his two daughters, for the compassion of the LORD was upon him; and they brought him out, and put him outside the city.

nasb@Genesis:16:19" @Now behold, your servant has found favor in your sight, and you have magnified your lovingkindness, which you have shown me by saving my life; but I cannot escape to the mountains, for the disaster will overtake me and I will die;

nasb@Genesis:16:20 @now behold, this town is near enough to flee to, and it is small. Please, let me escape there (is it not small?) that my life may be saved."

nasb@Genesis:16:22" @Hurry, escape there, for I cannot do anything until you arrive there." Therefore the name of the town was called Zoar.

nasb@Genesis:16:23 @The sun had risen over the earth when Lot came to Zoar.

nasb@Genesis:16:26 @But his wife, from behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt.

nasb@Genesis:16:29 @Thus it came about, when God destroyed the cities of the valley, that God remembered Abraham, and sent Lot out of the midst of the overthrow, when He overthrew the cities in which Lot lived.

nasb@Genesis:16:31 @Then the firstborn said to the younger, "Our father is old, and there is not a man on earth to come in to us after the manner of the earth.

nasb@Genesis:16:32" @Come, let us make our father drink wine, and let us lie with him that we may preserve our family through our father."

nasb@Genesis:16:37 @The firstborn bore a son, and called his name Moab; he is the father of the Moabites to this day.

nasb@Genesis:16:38 @As for the younger, she also bore a son, and called his name Ben-ammi; he is the father of the sons of Ammon to this day.

nasb@Genesis:17:2 @Abraham said of Sarah his wife, " She is my sister." So Abimelech king of Gerar sent and took Sarah.

nasb@Genesis:17:3 @But God came to Abimelech in a dream of the night, and said to him, "Behold, you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken, for she is married."

nasb@Genesis:17:4 @Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, "Lord, will You slay a nation, even though blameless?

nasb@Genesis:17:5" @Did he not himself say to me, 'She is my sister'? And she herself said, 'He is my brother.' In the integrity of my heart and the innocence of my hands I have done this."

nasb@Genesis:17:6 @Then God said to him in the dream, "Yes, I know that in the integrity of your heart you have done this, and I also kept you from sinning against Me; therefore I did not let you touch her.

nasb@Genesis:17:8 @So Abimelech arose early in the morning and called all his servants and told all these things in their hearing; and the men were greatly frightened.

nasb@Genesis:17:9 @Then Abimelech called Abraham and said to him, "What have you done to us? And how have I sinned against you, that you have brought on me and on my kingdom a great sin? You have done to me things that ought not to be done."

nasb@Genesis:17:10 @And Abimelech said to Abraham, "What have you encountered, that you have done this thing?"

nasb@Genesis:17:11 @Abraham said, "Because I thought, surely there is no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.

nasb@Genesis:17:12" @Besides, she actually is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother, and she became my wife;

nasb@Genesis:17:13 @and it came about, when God caused me to wander from my father's house, that I said to her, 'This is the kindness which you will show to me- everywhere we go, say of me, "He is my brother."'"

nasb@Genesis:17:14 @Abimelech then took sheep and oxen and male and female servants, and gave them to Abraham, and restored his wife Sarah to him.

nasb@Genesis:17:15 @Abimelech said, " Behold, my land is before you; settle wherever you please."

nasb@Genesis:17:16 @To Sarah he said, "Behold, I have given your brother a thousand pieces of silver; behold, it is your vindication before all who are with you, and before all men you are cleared."

nasb@Genesis:17:17 @Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech and his wife and his maids, so that they bore children.

nasb@Genesis:17:18 @For the LORD had closed fast all the wombs of the household of Abimelech because of Sarah, Abraham's wife.

nasb@Genesis:18:2 @So Sarah conceived and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the appointed time of which God had spoken to him.

nasb@Genesis:18:3 @Abraham called the name of his son who was born to him, whom Sarah bore to him, Isaac.

nasb@Genesis:18:6 @Sarah said, "God has made laughter for me; everyone who hears will laugh with me."

nasb@Genesis:18:12 @But God said to Abraham, "Do not be distressed because of the lad and your maid; whatever Sarah tells you, listen to her, for through Isaac your descendants shall be named.

nasb@Genesis:18:16 @Then she went and sat down opposite him, about a bowshot away, for she said, "Do not let me see the boy die." And she sat opposite him, and lifted up her voice and wept.

nasb@Genesis:18:20 @God was with the lad, and he grew; and he lived in the wilderness and became an archer.

nasb@Genesis:18:22 @Now it came about at that time that Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, spoke to Abraham, saying, " God is with you in all that you do;

nasb@Genesis:18:23 @now therefore, swear to me here by God that you will not deal falsely with me or with my offspring or with my posterity, but according to the kindness that I have shown to you, you shall show to me and to the land in which you have sojourned."

nasb@Genesis:18:25 @But Abraham complained to Abimelech because of the well of water which the servants of Abimelech had seized.

nasb@Genesis:18:26 @And Abimelech said, "I do not know who has done this thing; you did not tell me, nor did I hear of it until today."

nasb@Genesis:18:27 @Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made a covenant.

nasb@Genesis:18:29 @Abimelech said to Abraham, "What do these seven ewe lambs mean, which you have set by themselves?"

nasb@Genesis:18:30 @He said, "You shall take these seven ewe lambs from my hand so that it may be a witness to me, that I dug this well."

nasb@Genesis:18:32 @So they made a covenant at Beersheba; and Abimelech and Phicol, the commander of his army, arose and returned to the land of the Philistines.

nasb@Genesis:18:33 @Abraham planted a tamarisk tree at Beersheba, and there he called on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.

nasb@Genesis:19:1 @Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, " Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."

nasb@Genesis:19:3 @So Abraham rose early in the morning and saddled his donkey, and took two of his young men with him and Isaac his son; and he split wood for the burnt offering, and arose and went to the place of which God had told him.

nasb@Genesis:19:5 @Abraham said to his young men, "Stay here with the donkey, and I and the lad will go over there; and we will worship and return to you."

nasb@Genesis:19:9 @Then they came to the place of which God had told him; and Abraham built the altar there and arranged the wood, and bound his son Isaac and laid him on the altar, on top of the wood.

nasb@Genesis:19:12 @He said, "Do not stretch out your hand against the lad, and do nothing to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me."

nasb@Genesis:19:14 @Abraham called the name of that place The LORD Will Provide, as it is said to this day, "In the mount of the LORD it will be provided."

nasb@Genesis:19:15 @Then the angel of the LORD called to Abraham a second time from heaven,

nasb@Genesis:19:19 @So Abraham returned to his young men, and they arose and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham lived at Beersheba.

nasb@Genesis:19:20 @Now it came about after these things, that it was told Abraham, saying, "Behold, Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor-

nasb@Genesis:19:23 @Bethuel became the father of Rebekah; these eight Milcah bore to Nahor, Abraham's brother.

nasb@Genesis:19:24 @His concubine, whose name was Reumah, also bore Tebah and Gaham and Tahash and Maacah.

nasb@Genesis:20:4" @I am a stranger and a sojourner among you; give me a burial site among you that I may bury my dead out of my sight."

nasb@Genesis:20:8 @And he spoke with them, saying, "If it is your wish for me to bury my dead out of my sight, hear me, and approach Ephron the son of Zohar for me,

nasb@Genesis:20:9 @that he may give me the cave of Machpelah which he owns, which is at the end of his field; for the full price let him give it to me in your presence for a burial site."

nasb@Genesis:20:11" @No, my lord, hear me; I give you the field, and I give you the cave that is in it. In the presence of the sons of my people I give it to you; bury your dead."

nasb@Genesis:20:13 @He spoke to Ephron in the hearing of the people of the land, saying, "If you will only please listen to me; I will give the price of the field, accept it from me that I may bury my dead there."

nasb@Genesis:20:15" @My lord, listen to me; a piece of land worth four hundred shekels of silver, what is that between me and you? So bury your dead."

nasb@Genesis:20:16 @Abraham listened to Ephron; and Abraham weighed out for Ephron the silver which he had named in the hearing of the sons of Heth, four hundred shekels of silver, commercial standard.

nasb@Genesis:21:5 @The servant said to him, "Suppose the woman is not willing to follow me to this land; should I take your son back to the land from where you came?"

nasb@Genesis:21:7" @ The LORD, the God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth, and who spoke to me and who swore to me, saying, ' To your descendants I will give this land,' He will send His angel before you, and you will take a wife for my son from there.

nasb@Genesis:21:10 @Then the servant took ten camels from the camels of his master, and set out with a variety of good things of his master's in his hand; and he arose and went to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor.

nasb@Genesis:21:11 @He made the camels kneel down outside the city by the well of water at evening time, the time when women go out to draw water.

nasb@Genesis:21:12 @He said, " O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, please grant me success today, and show lovingkindness to my master Abraham.

nasb@Genesis:21:13" @Behold, I am standing by the spring, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water;

nasb@Genesis:21:14 @now may it be that the girl to whom I say, 'Please let down your jar so that I may drink,' and who answers, 'Drink, and I will water your camels also'--may she be the one whom You have appointed for Your servant Isaac; and by this I will know that You have shown lovingkindness to my master."

nasb@Genesis:21:15 @Before he had finished speaking, behold, Rebekah who was born to Bethuel the son of Milcah, the wife of Abraham's brother Nahor, came out with her jar on her shoulder.

nasb@Genesis:21:16 @The girl was very beautiful, a virgin, and no man had had relations with her; and she went down to the spring and filled her jar and came up.

nasb@Genesis:21:17 @Then the servant ran to meet her, and said, " Please let me drink a little water from your jar."

nasb@Genesis:21:19 @Now when she had finished giving him a drink, she said, "I will draw also for your camels until they have finished drinking."

nasb@Genesis:21:20 @So she quickly emptied her jar into the trough, and ran back to the well to draw, and she drew for all his camels.

nasb@Genesis:21:21 @Meanwhile, the man was gazing at her in silence, to know whether the LORD had made his journey successful or not.

nasb@Genesis:21:22 @When the camels had finished drinking, the man took a gold ring weighing a half-shekel and two bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels in gold,

nasb@Genesis:21:23 @and said, "Whose daughter are you? Please tell me, is there room for us to lodge in your father's house?"

nasb@Genesis:21:27 @He said, " Blessed be the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who has not forsaken His lovingkindness and His truth toward my master; as for me, the LORD has guided me in the way to the house of my master's brothers."

nasb@Genesis:21:29 @Now Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban; and Laban ran outside to the man at the spring.

nasb@Genesis:21:30 @When he saw the ring and the bracelets on his sister's wrists, and when he heard the words of Rebekah his sister, saying, "This is what the man said to me," he went to the man; and behold, he was standing by the camels at the spring.

nasb@Genesis:21:31 @And he said, " Come in, blessed of the LORD! Why do you stand outside since I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels?"

nasb@Genesis:21:32 @So the man entered the house. Then Laban unloaded the camels, and he gave straw and feed to the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.

nasb@Genesis:21:35" @The LORD has greatly blessed my master, so that he has become rich; and He has given him flocks and herds, and silver and gold, and servants and maids, and camels and donkeys.

nasb@Genesis:21:37" @ My master made me swear, saying, 'You shall not take a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites, in whose land I live;

nasb@Genesis:21:39" @ I said to my master, 'Suppose the woman does not follow me.'

nasb@Genesis:21:40" @He said to me, ' The LORD, before whom I have walked, will send His angel with you to make your journey successful, and you will take a wife for my son from my relatives and from my father's house;

nasb@Genesis:21:41 @then you will be free from my oath, when you come to my relatives; and if they do not give her to you, you will be free from my oath.'

nasb@Genesis:21:42" @So I came today to the spring, and said, 'O LORD, the God of my master Abraham, if now You will make my journey on which I go successful;

nasb@Genesis:21:43 @behold, I am standing by the spring, and may it be that the maiden who comes out to draw, and to whom I say, " Please let me drink a little water from your jar";

nasb@Genesis:21:44 @and she will say to me, "You drink, and I will draw for your camels also"; let her be the woman whom the LORD has appointed for my master's son.'

nasb@Genesis:21:45" @Before I had finished speaking in my heart, behold, Rebekah came out with her jar on her shoulder, and went down to the spring and drew, and I said to her, 'Please let me drink.'

nasb@Genesis:21:46" @She quickly lowered her jar from her shoulder, and said, ' Drink, and I will water your camels also'; so I drank, and she watered the camels also.

nasb@Genesis:21:48" @And I bowed low and worshiped the LORD, and blessed the LORD, the God of my master Abraham, who had guided me in the right way to take the daughter of my master's kinsman for his son.

nasb@Genesis:21:49" @So now if you are going to deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me; and if not, let me know, that I may turn to the right hand or the left."

nasb@Genesis:21:50 @Then Laban and Bethuel replied, " The matter comes from the LORD; so we cannot speak to you bad or good.

nasb@Genesis:21:53 @The servant brought out articles of silver and articles of gold, and garments, and gave them to Rebekah; he also gave precious things to her brother and to her mother.

nasb@Genesis:21:54 @Then he and the men who were with him ate and drank and spent the night. When they arose in the morning, he said, " Send me away to my master."

nasb@Genesis:21:56 @He said to them, "Do not delay me, since the LORD has prospered my way. Send me away that I may go to my master."

nasb@Genesis:21:59 @Thus they sent away their sister Rebekah and her nurse with Abraham's servant and his men.

nasb@Genesis:21:60 @They blessed Rebekah and said to her, "May you, our sister, Become thousands of ten thousands, And may your descendants possess The gate of those who hate them."

nasb@Genesis:21:61 @Then Rebekah arose with her maids, and they mounted the camels and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and departed.

nasb@Genesis:21:62 @Now Isaac had come from going to Beer-lahai-roi; for he was living in the Negev.

nasb@Genesis:21:63 @Isaac went out to meditate in the field toward evening; and he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, camels were coming.

nasb@Genesis:21:64 @Rebekah lifted up her eyes, and when she saw Isaac she dismounted from the camel.

nasb@Genesis:21:65 @She said to the servant, "Who is that man walking in the field to meet us?" And the servant said, "He is my master." Then she took her veil and covered herself.

nasb@Genesis:21:67 @Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent, and he took Rebekah, and she became his wife, and he loved her; thus Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.

nasb@Genesis:22:1 @Now Abraham took another wife, whose name was Keturah.

nasb@Genesis:22:2 @She bore to him Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah.

nasb@Genesis:22:3 @Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.

nasb@Genesis:22:11 @It came about after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac; and Isaac lived by Beer-lahai-roi.

nasb@Genesis:22:13 @and these are the names of the sons of Ishmael, by their names, in the order of their birth- Nebaioth, the firstborn of Ishmael, and Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam

nasb@Genesis:22:16 @These are the sons of Ishmael and these are their names, by their villages, and by their camps; twelve princes according to their tribes.

nasb@Genesis:22:19 @Now these are the records of the generations of Isaac, Abraham's son- Abraham became the father of Isaac;

nasb@Genesis:22:20 @and Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, the sister of Laban the Aramean, to be his wife.

nasb@Genesis:22:25 @Now the first came forth red, all over like a hairy garment; and they named him Esau.

nasb@Genesis:22:26 @Afterward his brother came forth with his hand holding on to Esau's heel, so his name was called Jacob; and Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.

nasb@Genesis:22:27 @When the boys grew up, Esau became a skillful hunter, a man of the field, but Jacob was a peaceful man, living in tents.

nasb@Genesis:22:28 @Now Isaac loved Esau, because he had a taste for game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.

nasb@Genesis:22:29 @When Jacob had cooked stew, Esau came in from the field and he was famished;

nasb@Genesis:22:30 @and Esau said to Jacob, "Please let me have a swallow of that red stuff there, for I am famished." Therefore his name was called Edom.

nasb@Genesis:22:31 @But Jacob said, "First sell me your birthright."

nasb@Genesis:22:32 @Esau said, "Behold, I am about to die; so of what use then is the birthright to me?"

nasb@Genesis:22:33 @And Jacob said, "First swear to me"; so he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.

nasb@Genesis:23:1 @Now there was a famine in the land, besides the previous famine that had occurred in the days of Abraham. So Isaac went to Gerar, to Abimelech king of the Philistines.

nasb@Genesis:23:5 @because Abraham obeyed Me and kept My charge, My commandments, My statutes and My laws."

nasb@Genesis:23:7 @When the men of the place asked about his wife, he said, " She is my sister," for he was afraid to say, "my wife," thinking, "the men of the place might kill me on account of Rebekah, for she is beautiful."

nasb@Genesis:23:8 @It came about, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked out through a window, and saw, and behold, Isaac was caressing his wife Rebekah.

nasb@Genesis:23:9 @Then Abimelech called Isaac and said, "Behold, certainly she is your wife! How then did you say, 'She is my sister'?" And Isaac said to him, "Because I said, 'I might die on account of her.'"

nasb@Genesis:23:10 @Abimelech said, "What is this you have done to us? One of the people might easily have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us."

nasb@Genesis:23:11 @So Abimelech charged all the people, saying, "He who touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death."

nasb@Genesis:23:12 @Now Isaac sowed in that land and reaped in the same year a hundredfold. And the LORD blessed him,

nasb@Genesis:23:13 @and the man became rich, and continued to grow richer until he became very wealthy;

nasb@Genesis:23:16 @Then Abimelech said to Isaac, "Go away from us, for you are too powerful for us."

nasb@Genesis:23:18 @Then Isaac dug again the wells of water which had been dug in the days of his father Abraham, for the Philistines had stopped them up after the death of Abraham; and he gave them the same names which his father had given them.

nasb@Genesis:23:20 @the herdsmen of Gerar quarreled with the herdsmen of Isaac, saying, "The water is ours!" So he named the well Esek, because they contended with him.

nasb@Genesis:23:21 @Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over it too, so he named it Sitnah.

nasb@Genesis:23:22 @He moved away from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it; so he named it Rehoboth, for he said, " At last the LORD has made room for us, and we will be fruitful in the land."

nasb@Genesis:23:24 @The LORD appeared to him the same night and said, " I am the God of your father Abraham; Do not fear, for I am with you. I will bless you, and multiply your descendants, For the sake of My servant Abraham."

nasb@Genesis:23:25 @So he built an altar there and called upon the name of the LORD, and pitched his tent there; and there Isaac's servants dug a well.

nasb@Genesis:23:26 @Then Abimelech came to him from Gerar with his adviser Ahuzzath and Phicol the commander of his army.

nasb@Genesis:23:27 @Isaac said to them, " Why have you come to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you?"

nasb@Genesis:23:32 @Now it came about on the same day, that Isaac's servants came in and told him about the well which they had dug, and said to him, "We have found water."

nasb@Genesis:23:33 @So he called it Shibah; therefore the name of the city is Beersheba to this day.

nasb@Genesis:24:1 @Now it came about, when Isaac was old and his eyes were too dim to see, that he called his older son Esau and said to him, "My son." And he said to him, "Here I am."

nasb@Genesis:24:3" @Now then, please take your gear, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field and hunt game for me;

nasb@Genesis:24:4 @and prepare a savory dish for me such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, so that my soul may bless you before I die."

nasb@Genesis:24:5 @Rebekah was listening while Isaac spoke to his son Esau. So when Esau went to the field to hunt for game to bring home,

nasb@Genesis:24:7 @'Bring me some game and prepare a savory dish for me, that I may eat, and bless you in the presence of the LORD before my death.'

nasb@Genesis:24:8" @Now therefore, my son, listen to me as I command you.

nasb@Genesis:24:9" @Go now to the flock and bring me two choice young goats from there, that I may prepare them as a savory dish for your father, such as he loves.

nasb@Genesis:24:12" @ Perhaps my father will feel me, then I will be as a deceiver in his sight, and I will bring upon myself a curse and not a blessing."

nasb@Genesis:24:13 @But his mother said to him, "Your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me."

nasb@Genesis:24:15 @Then Rebekah took the best garments of Esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them on Jacob her younger son.

nasb@Genesis:24:18 @Then he came to his father and said, "My father." And he said, "Here I am. Who are you, my son?"

nasb@Genesis:24:19 @Jacob said to his father, "I am Esau your firstborn; I have done as you told me. Get up, please, sit and eat of my game, that you may bless me."

nasb@Genesis:24:20 @Isaac said to his son, "How is it that you have it so quickly, my son?" And he said, " Because the LORD your God caused it to happen to me."

nasb@Genesis:24:21 @Then Isaac said to Jacob, "Please come close, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not."

nasb@Genesis:24:22 @So Jacob came close to Isaac his father, and he felt him and said, "The voice is the voice of Jacob, but the hands are the hands of Esau."

nasb@Genesis:24:25 @So he said, "Bring it to me, and I will eat of my son's game, that I may bless you." And he brought it to him, and he ate; he also brought him wine and he drank.

nasb@Genesis:24:26 @Then his father Isaac said to him, "Please come close and kiss me, my son."

nasb@Genesis:24:27 @So he came close and kissed him; and when he smelled the smell of his garments, he blessed him and said, "See, the smell of my son Is like the smell of a field which the LORD has blessed;

nasb@Genesis:24:30 @Now it came about, as soon as Isaac had finished blessing Jacob, and Jacob had hardly gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.

nasb@Genesis:24:31 @Then he also made savory food, and brought it to his father; and he said to his father, " Let my father arise and eat of his son's game, that you may bless me."

nasb@Genesis:24:33 @Then Isaac trembled violently, and said, " Who was he then that hunted game and brought it to me, so that I ate of all of it before you came, and blessed him? Yes, and he shall be blessed."

nasb@Genesis:24:34 @When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried out with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, "Bless me, even me also, O my father!"

nasb@Genesis:24:35 @And he said, " Your brother came deceitfully and has taken away your blessing."

nasb@Genesis:24:36 @Then he said, "Is he not rightly named Jacob, for he has supplanted me these two times? He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing." And he said, "Have you not reserved a blessing for me?"

nasb@Genesis:24:38 @Esau said to his father, "Do you have only one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father." So Esau lifted his voice and wept.

nasb@Genesis:24:40" @By your sword you shall live, And your brother you shall serve; But it shall come about when you become restless, That you will break his yoke from your neck."

nasb@Genesis:24:46 @Rebekah said to Isaac, "I am tired of living because of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob takes a wife from the daughters of Heth, like these, from the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to meNULL"

nasb@Genesis:24:3" @May God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you, that you may become a company of peoples.

nasb@Genesis:24:5 @Then Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Paddan-aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Aramean, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.

nasb@Genesis:24:11 @He came to a certain place and spent the night there, because the sun had set; and he took one of the stones of the place and put it under his head, and lay down in that place.

nasb@Genesis:24:17 @He was afraid and said, " How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven."

nasb@Genesis:24:19 @He called the name of that place Bethel; however, previously the name of the city had been Luz.

nasb@Genesis:24:20 @Then Jacob made a vow, saying, " If God will be with me and will keep me on this journey that I take, and will give me food to eat and garments to wear,

nasb@Genesis:24:22" @This stone, which I have set up as a pillar, will be God's house, and of all that You give me I will surely give a tenth to You."

nasb@Genesis:25:1 @Then Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the sons of the east.

nasb@Genesis:25:7 @He said, "Behold, it is still high day; it is not time for the livestock to be gathered. Water the sheep, and go, pasture them."

nasb@Genesis:25:9 @While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep, for she was a shepherdess.

nasb@Genesis:25:13 @So when Laban heard the news of Jacob his sister's son, he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him and brought him to his house. Then he related to Laban all these things.

nasb@Genesis:25:15 @Then Laban said to Jacob, "Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what shall your wages be?"

nasb@Genesis:25:16 @Now Laban had two daughters; the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

nasb@Genesis:25:19 @Laban said, "It is better that I give her to you than to give her to another man; stay with me."

nasb@Genesis:25:20 @So Jacob served seven years for Rachel and they seemed to him but a few days because of his love for her.

nasb@Genesis:25:21 @Then Jacob said to Laban, "Give me my wife, for my time is completed, that I may go in to her."

nasb@Genesis:25:22 @Laban gathered all the men of the place and made a feast.

nasb@Genesis:25:25 @So it came about in the morning that, behold, it was Leah! And he said to Laban, " What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served with you? Why then have you deceived me?"

nasb@Genesis:25:27" @Complete the week of this one, and we will give you the other also for the service which you shall serve with me for another seven years."

nasb@Genesis:25:32 @Leah conceived and bore a son and named him Reuben, for she said, "Because the LORD has seen my affliction; surely now my husband will love me."

nasb@Genesis:25:33 @Then she conceived again and bore a son and said, " Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has therefore given me this son also." So she named him Simeon.

nasb@Genesis:25:34 @She conceived again and bore a son and said, "Now this time my husband will become attached to me, because I have borne him three sons." Therefore he was named Levi.

nasb@Genesis:25:35 @And she conceived again and bore a son and said, "This time I will praise the LORD." Therefore she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing.

nasb@Genesis:26:1 @Now when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, she became jealous of her sister; and she said to Jacob, " Give me children, or else I die."

nasb@Genesis:26:6 @Then Rachel said, "God has vindicated me, and has indeed heard my voice and has given me a son." Therefore she named him Dan.

nasb@Genesis:26:8 @So Rachel said, "With mighty wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister, and I have indeed prevailed." And she named him Naphtali.

nasb@Genesis:26:11 @Then Leah said, "How fortunate!" So she named him Gad.

nasb@Genesis:26:13 @Then Leah said, "Happy am I! For women will call me happy." So she named him Asher.

nasb@Genesis:26:14 @Now in the days of wheat harvest Reuben went and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, "Please give me some of your son's mandrakes."

nasb@Genesis:26:16 @When Jacob came in from the field in the evening, then Leah went out to meet him and said, "You must come in to me, for I have surely hired you with my son's mandrakes." So he lay with her that night.

nasb@Genesis:26:18 @Then Leah said, "God has given me my wages because I gave my maid to my husband." So she named him Issachar.

nasb@Genesis:26:20 @Then Leah said, "God has endowed me with a good gift; now my husband will dwell with me, because I have borne him six sons." So she named him Zebulun.

nasb@Genesis:26:21 @Afterward she bore a daughter and named her Dinah.

nasb@Genesis:26:22 @Then God remembered Rachel, and God gave heed to her and opened her womb.

nasb@Genesis:26:24 @She named him Joseph, saying, " May the LORD give me another son."

nasb@Genesis:26:25 @Now it came about when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, " Send me away, that I may go to my own place and to my own country.

nasb@Genesis:26:26" @Give me my wives and my children for whom I have served you, and let me depart; for you yourself know my service which I have rendered you."

nasb@Genesis:26:27 @But Laban said to him, "If now it pleases you, stay with me; I have divined that the LORD has blessed me on your account."

nasb@Genesis:26:28 @He continued, " Name me your wages, and I will give it."

nasb@Genesis:26:29 @But he said to him, " You yourself know how I have served you and how your cattle have fared with me.

nasb@Genesis:26:30" @For you had little before I came and it has increased to a multitude, and the LORD has blessed you wherever I turned. But now, when shall I provide for my own household also?"

nasb@Genesis:26:31 @So he said, "What shall I give you?" And Jacob said, "You shall not give me anything. If you will do this one thing for me, I will again pasture and keep your flock-

nasb@Genesis:26:32 @let me pass through your entire flock today, removing from there every speckled and spotted sheep and every black one among the lambs and the spotted and speckled among the goats; and such shall be my wages.

nasb@Genesis:26:33" @So my honesty will answer for me later, when you come concerning my wages. Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the lambs, if found with me, will be considered stolen."

nasb@Genesis:26:38 @He set the rods which he had peeled in front of the flocks in the gutters, even in the watering troughs, where the flocks came to drink; and they mated when they came to drink.

nasb@Genesis:26:43 @So the man became exceedingly prosperous, and had large flocks and female and male servants and camels and donkeys.

nasb@Genesis:27:2 @Jacob saw the attitude of Laban, and behold, it was not friendly toward him as formerly.

nasb@Genesis:27:5 @and said to them, " I see your father's attitude, that it is not friendly toward me as formerly, but the God of my father has been with me.

nasb@Genesis:27:7" @Yet your father has cheated me and changed my wages ten times; however, God did not allow him to hurt me.

nasb@Genesis:27:9" @Thus God has taken away your father's livestock and given them to me.

nasb@Genesis:27:10" @And it came about at the time when the flock were mating that I lifted up my eyes and saw in a dream, and behold, the male goats which were mating were striped, speckled, and mottled.

nasb@Genesis:27:11" @Then the angel of God said to me in the dream, 'Jacob,' and I said, 'Here I am.'

nasb@Genesis:27:13 @'I am the God of Bethel, where you anointed a pillar, where you made a vow to Me; now arise, leave this land, and return to the land of your birth.'"

nasb@Genesis:27:15" @Are we not reckoned by him as foreigners? For he has sold us, and has also entirely consumed our purchase price.

nasb@Genesis:27:17 @Then Jacob arose and put his children and his wives upon camels;

nasb@Genesis:27:20 @And Jacob deceived Laban the Aramean by not telling him that he was fleeing.

nasb@Genesis:27:23 @then he took his kinsmen with him and pursued him a distance of seven days' journey, and he overtook him in the hill country of Gilead.

nasb@Genesis:27:24 @God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream of the night and said to him, " Be careful that you do not speak to Jacob either good or bad."

nasb@Genesis:27:25 @Laban caught up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the hill country, and Laban with his kinsmen camped in the hill country of Gilead.

nasb@Genesis:27:26 @Then Laban said to Jacob, "What have you done by deceiving me and carrying away my daughters like captives of the sword?

nasb@Genesis:27:27" @Why did you flee secretly and deceive me, and did not tell me so that I might have sent you away with joy and with songs, with timbrel and with lyre;

nasb@Genesis:27:28 @and did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have done foolishly.

nasb@Genesis:27:29" @It is in my power to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ' Be careful not to speak either good or bad to Jacob.'

nasb@Genesis:27:31 @Then Jacob replied to Laban, "Because I was afraid, for I thought that you would take your daughters from me by force.

nasb@Genesis:27:32" @ The one with whom you find your gods shall not live; in the presence of our kinsmen point out what is yours among my belongings and take it for yourself." For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.

nasb@Genesis:27:34 @Now Rachel had taken the household idols and put them in the camel's saddle, and she sat on them. And Laban felt through all the tent but did not find them.

nasb@Genesis:27:35 @She said to her father, "Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise before you, for the manner of women is upon me." So he searched but did not find the household idols.

nasb@Genesis:27:36 @Then Jacob became angry and contended with Laban; and Jacob said to Laban, "What is my transgression? What is my sin that you have hotly pursued me?

nasb@Genesis:27:37" @Though you have felt through all my goods, what have you found of all your household goods? Set it here before my kinsmen and your kinsmen, that they may decide between us two.

nasb@Genesis:27:40" @Thus I was- by day the heat consumed me and the frost by night, and my sleep fled from my eyes.

nasb@Genesis:27:41" @These twenty years I have been in your house; I served you fourteen years for your two daughters and six years for your flock, and you changed my wages ten times.

nasb@Genesis:27:42" @If the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the fear of Isaac, had not been for me, surely now you would have sent me away empty-handed. God has seen my affliction and the toil of my hands, so He rendered judgment last night."

nasb@Genesis:27:44" @So now come, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it be a witness between you and me."

nasb@Genesis:27:46 @Jacob said to his kinsmen, "Gather stones." So they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there by the heap.

nasb@Genesis:27:48 @Laban said, " This heap is a witness between you and me this day." Therefore it was named Galeed,

nasb@Genesis:27:49 @and Mizpah, for he said, "May the LORD watch between you and me when we are absent one from the other.

nasb@Genesis:27:50" @If you mistreat my daughters, or if you take wives besides my daughters, although no man is with us, see, God is witness between you and me."

nasb@Genesis:27:51 @Laban said to Jacob, "Behold this heap and behold the pillar which I have set between you and me.

nasb@Genesis:27:52" @This heap is a witness, and the pillar is a witness, that I will not pass by this heap to you for harm, and you will not pass by this heap and this pillar to me, for harm.

nasb@Genesis:27:54 @Then Jacob offered a sacrifice on the mountain, and called his kinsmen to the meal; and they ate the meal and spent the night on the mountain.

nasb@Genesis:28:1 @Now as Jacob went on his way, the angels of God met him.

nasb@Genesis:28:2 @Jacob said when he saw them, "This is God's camp." So he named that place Mahanaim.

nasb@Genesis:28:3 @Then Jacob sent messengers before him to his brother Esau in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.

nasb@Genesis:28:6 @The messengers returned to Jacob, saying, "We came to your brother Esau, and furthermore he is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him."

nasb@Genesis:28:7 @Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided the people who were with him, and the flocks and the herds and the camels, into two companies;

nasb@Genesis:28:8 @for he said, "If Esau comes to the one company and attacks it, then the company which is left will escape."

nasb@Genesis:28:9 @Jacob said, "O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, O LORD, who said to me, ' Return to your country and to your relatives, and I will prosper you,'

nasb@Genesis:28:10 @I am unworthy of all the lovingkindness and of all the faithfulness which You have shown to Your servant; for with my staff only I crossed this Jordan, and now I have become two companies.

nasb@Genesis:28:11" @ Deliver me, I pray, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, that he will come and attack me and the mothers with the children.

nasb@Genesis:28:15 @thirty milking camels and their colts, forty cows and ten bulls, twenty female donkeys and ten male donkeys.

nasb@Genesis:28:16 @He delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, "Pass on before me, and put a space between droves."

nasb@Genesis:28:17 @He commanded the one in front, saying, "When my brother Esau meets you and asks you, saying, 'To whom do you belong, and where are you going, and to whom do these animals in front of you belong?'

nasb@Genesis:28:20 @and you shall say, 'Behold, your servant Jacob also is behind us.'" For he said, "I will appease him with the present that goes before me. Then afterward I will see his face; perhaps he will accept me."

nasb@Genesis:28:22 @Now he arose that same night and took his two wives and his two maids and his eleven children, and crossed the ford of the Jabbok.

nasb@Genesis:28:26 @Then he said, "Let me go, for the dawn is breaking." But he said, " I will not let you go unless you bless me."

nasb@Genesis:28:27 @So he said to him, "What is your name?" And he said, "Jacob."

nasb@Genesis:28:28 @He said, "Your name shall no longer be Jacob, but Israel; for you have striven with God and with men and have prevailed."

nasb@Genesis:28:29 @Then Jacob asked him and said, "Please tell me your name." But he said, "Why is it that you ask my name?" And he blessed him there.

nasb@Genesis:28:30 @So Jacob named the place Peniel, for he said, " I have seen God face to face, yet my life has been preserved."

nasb@Genesis:29:1 @Then Jacob lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, Esau was coming, and four hundred men with him. So he divided the children among Leah and Rachel and the two maids.

nasb@Genesis:29:3 @But he himself passed on ahead of them and bowed down to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.

nasb@Genesis:29:4 @Then Esau ran to meet him and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.

nasb@Genesis:29:5 @He lifted his eyes and saw the women and the children, and said, "Who are these with you?" So he said, " The children whom God has graciously given your servant."

nasb@Genesis:29:6 @Then the maids came near with their children, and they bowed down.

nasb@Genesis:29:7 @Leah likewise came near with her children, and they bowed down; and afterward Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed down.

nasb@Genesis:29:8 @And he said, "What do you mean by all this company which I have met?" And he said, " To find favor in the sight of my lord."

nasb@Genesis:29:10 @Jacob said, "No, please, if now I have found favor in your sight, then take my present from my hand, for I see your face as one sees the face of God, and you have received me favorably.

nasb@Genesis:29:11" @Please take my gift which has been brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me and because I have plenty." Thus he urged him and he took it.

nasb@Genesis:29:13 @But he said to him, "My lord knows that the children are frail and that the flocks and herds which are nursing are a care to me. And if they are driven hard one day, all the flocks will die.

nasb@Genesis:29:14" @Please let my lord pass on before his servant, and I will proceed at my leisure, according to the pace of the cattle that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord at Seir."

nasb@Genesis:29:15 @Esau said, "Please let me leave with you some of the people who are with me." But he said, " What need is there? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord."

nasb@Genesis:29:17 @Jacob journeyed to Succoth, and built for himself a house and made booths for his livestock; therefore the place is named Succoth.

nasb@Genesis:29:18 @Now Jacob came safely to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan-aram, and camped before the city.

nasb@Genesis:30:4 @So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, "Get me this young girl for a wife."

nasb@Genesis:30:5 @Now Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter; but his sons were with his livestock in the field, so Jacob kept silent until they came in.

nasb@Genesis:30:7 @Now the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved, and they were very angry because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, for such a thing ought not to be done.

nasb@Genesis:30:11 @Shechem also said to her father and to her brothers, "If I find favor in your sight, then I will give whatever you say to me.

nasb@Genesis:30:12" @Ask me ever so much bridal payment and gift, and I will give according as you say to me; but give me the girl in marriage."

nasb@Genesis:30:15" @Only on this condition will we consent to you- if you will become like us, in that every male of you be circumcised,

nasb@Genesis:30:16 @then we will give our daughters to you, and we will take your daughters for ourselves, and we will live with you and become one people.

nasb@Genesis:30:18 @Now their words seemed reasonable to Hamor and Shechem, Hamor's son.

nasb@Genesis:30:20 @So Hamor and his son Shechem came to the gate of their city and spoke to the men of their city, saying,

nasb@Genesis:30:21" @These men are friendly with us; therefore let them live in the land and trade in it, for behold, the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters in marriage, and give our daughters to them.

nasb@Genesis:30:22" @Only on this condition will the men consent to us to live with us, to become one people- that every male among us be circumcised as they are circumcised.

nasb@Genesis:30:25 @Now it came about on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of Jacob's sons, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came upon the city unawares, and killed every male.

nasb@Genesis:30:27 @Jacob's sons came upon the slain and looted the city, because they had defiled their sister.

nasb@Genesis:30:30 @Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, "You have brought trouble on me by making me odious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and my men being few in number, they will gather together against me and attack me and I will be destroyed, I and my household."

nasb@Genesis:31:2 @So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Put away the foreign gods which are among you, and purify yourselves and change your garments;

nasb@Genesis:31:3 @and let us arise and go up to Bethel, and I will make an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and has been with me wherever I have gone."

nasb@Genesis:31:6 @So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.

nasb@Genesis:31:8 @Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the oak; it was named Allon-bacuth.

nasb@Genesis:31:9 @Then God appeared to Jacob again when he came from Paddan-aram, and He blessed him.

nasb@Genesis:31:10 @God said to him, "Your name is Jacob; You shall no longer be called Jacob, But Israel shall be your name." Thus He called him Israel.

nasb@Genesis:31:11 @God also said to him, "I am God Almighty; Be fruitful and multiply; A nation and a company of nations shall come from you, And kings shall come forth from you.

nasb@Genesis:31:15 @So Jacob named the place where God had spoken with him, Bethel.

nasb@Genesis:31:16 @Then they journeyed from Bethel; and when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel began to give birth and she suffered severe labor.

nasb@Genesis:31:18 @It came about as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin.

nasb@Genesis:31:22 @It came about while Israel was dwelling in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it.

nasb@Genesis:31:23 @the sons of Leah- Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, then Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun;

nasb@Genesis:31:27 @Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre of Kiriath-arba (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had sojourned.

nasb@Genesis:32:7 @For their property had become too great for them to live together, and the land where they sojourned could not sustain them because of their livestock.

nasb@Genesis:32:10 @These are the names of Esau's sons- Eliphaz the son of Esau's wife Adah, Reuel the son of Esau's wife Basemath.

nasb@Genesis:32:32 @Bela the son of Beor reigned in Edom, and the name of his city was Dinhabah.

nasb@Genesis:32:33 @Then Bela died, and Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah became king in his place.

nasb@Genesis:32:34 @Then Jobab died, and Husham of the land of the Temanites became king in his place.

nasb@Genesis:32:35 @Then Husham died, and Hadad the son of Bedad, who defeated Midian in the field of Moab, became king in his place; and the name of his city was Avith.

nasb@Genesis:32:36 @Then Hadad died, and Samlah of Masrekah became king in his place.

nasb@Genesis:32:37 @Then Samlah died, and Shaul of Rehoboth on the Euphrates River became king in his place.

nasb@Genesis:32:38 @Then Shaul died, and Baal-hanan the son of Achbor became king in his place.

nasb@Genesis:32:39 @Then Baal-hanan the son of Achbor died, and Hadar became king in his place; and the name of his city was Pau; and his wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, daughter of Mezahab.

nasb@Genesis:32:40 @Now these are the names of the chiefs descended from Esau, according to their families and their localities, by their names- chief Timna, chief Alvah, chief Jetheth,

nasb@Genesis:33:9 @Now he had still another dream, and related it to his brothers, and said, "Lo, I have had still another dream; and behold, the sun and the moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me."

nasb@Genesis:33:10 @He related it to his father and to his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, "What is this dream that you have had? Shall I and your mother and your brothers actually come to bow ourselves down before you to the ground?"

nasb@Genesis:33:13 @Israel said to Joseph, "Are not your brothers pasturing the flock in Shechem? Come, and I will send you to them." And he said to him, "I will go."

nasb@Genesis:33:14 @Then he said to him, "Go now and see about the welfare of your brothers and the welfare of the flock, and bring word back to me." So he sent him from the valley of Hebron, and he came to Shechem.

nasb@Genesis:33:16 @He said, "I am looking for my brothers; please tell me where they are pasturing the flock."

nasb@Genesis:33:18 @When they saw him from a distance and before he came close to them, they plotted against him to put him to death.

nasb@Genesis:33:19 @They said to one another, "Here comes this dreamer!

nasb@Genesis:33:20" @Now then, come and let us kill him and throw him into one of the pits; and we will say, 'A wild beast devoured him.' Then let us see what will become of his dreams!"

nasb@Genesis:33:23 @So it came about, when Joseph reached his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the varicolored tunic that was on him;

nasb@Genesis:33:25 @Then they sat down to eat a meal. And as they raised their eyes and looked, behold, a caravan of Ishmaelites was coming from Gilead, with their camels bearing aromatic gum and balm and myrrh, on their way to bring them down to Egypt.

nasb@Genesis:33:27" @ Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him, for he is our brother, our own flesh." And his brothers listened to him.

nasb@Genesis:33:28 @Then some Midianite traders passed by, so they pulled him up and lifted Joseph out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. Thus they brought Joseph into Egypt.

nasb@Genesis:33:29 @Now Reuben returned to the pit, and behold, Joseph was not in the pit; so he tore his garments.

nasb@Genesis:33:30 @He returned to his brothers and said, " The boy is not there; as for me, where am I to go?"

nasb@Genesis:33:36 @Meanwhile, the Midianites sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, Pharaoh's officer, the captain of the bodyguard.

nasb@Genesis:34:1 @And it came about at that time, that Judah departed from his brothers and visited a certain Adullamite, whose name was Hirah.

nasb@Genesis:34:2 @Judah saw there a daughter of a certain Canaanite whose name was Shua; and he took her and went in to her.

nasb@Genesis:34:3 @So she conceived and bore a son and he named him Er.

nasb@Genesis:34:4 @Then she conceived again and bore a son and named him Onan.

nasb@Genesis:34:5 @She bore still another son and named him Shelah; and it was at Chezib that she bore him.

nasb@Genesis:34:6 @Now Judah took a wife for Er his firstborn, and her name was Tamar.

nasb@Genesis:34:12 @Now after a considerable time Shua's daughter, the wife of Judah, died; and when the time of mourning was ended, Judah went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.

nasb@Genesis:34:14 @So she removed her widow's garments and covered herself with a veil, and wrapped herself, and sat in the gateway of Enaim, which is on the road to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah had grown up, and she had not been given to him as a wife.

nasb@Genesis:34:16 @So he turned aside to her by the road, and said, "Here now, let me come in to you"; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, "What will you give me, that you may come in to me?"

nasb@Genesis:34:19 @Then she arose and departed, and removed her veil and put on her widow's garments.

nasb@Genesis:34:21 @He asked the men of her place, saying, "Where is the temple prostitute who was by the road at Enaim?" But they said, "There has been no temple prostitute here."

nasb@Genesis:34:22 @So he returned to Judah, and said, "I did not find her; and furthermore, the men of the place said, 'There has been no temple prostitute here.'"

nasb@Genesis:34:23 @Then Judah said, "Let her keep them, otherwise we will become a laughingstock. After all, I sent this young goat, but you did not find her."

nasb@Genesis:34:24 @Now it was about three months later that Judah was informed, "Your daughter-in-law Tamar has played the harlot, and behold, she is also with child by harlotry." Then Judah said, "Bring her out and let her be burned!"

nasb@Genesis:34:27 @It came about at the time she was giving birth, that behold, there were twins in her womb.

nasb@Genesis:34:28 @Moreover, it took place while she was giving birth, one put out a hand, and the midwife took and tied a scarlet thread on his hand, saying, "This one came out first."

nasb@Genesis:34:29 @But it came about as he drew back his hand, that behold, his brother came out. Then she said, "What a breach you have made for yourself!" So he was named Perez.

nasb@Genesis:34:30 @Afterward his brother came out who had the scarlet thread on his hand; and he was named Zerah.

nasb@Genesis:35:2 @The LORD was with Joseph, so he became a successful man. And he was in the house of his master, the Egyptian.

nasb@Genesis:35:4 @So Joseph found favor in his sight and became his personal servant; and he made him overseer over his house, and all that he owned he put in his charge.

nasb@Genesis:35:5 @It came about that from the time he made him overseer in his house and over all that he owned, the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house on account of Joseph; thus the LORD'S blessing was upon all that he owned, in the house and in the field.

nasb@Genesis:35:6 @So he left everything he owned in Joseph's charge; and with him there he did not concern himself with anything except the food which he ate. Now Joseph was handsome in form and appearance.

nasb@Genesis:35:7 @It came about after these events that his master's wife looked with desire at Joseph, and she said, " Lie with me."

nasb@Genesis:35:8 @But he refused and said to his master's wife, "Behold, with me here, my master does not concern himself with anything in the house, and he has put all that he owns in my charge.

nasb@Genesis:35:9" @ There is no one greater in this house than I, and he has withheld nothing from me except you, because you are his wife. How then could I do this great evil and sin against God?"

nasb@Genesis:35:11 @Now it happened one day that he went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the household was there inside.

nasb@Genesis:35:12 @She caught him by his garment, saying, "Lie with me!" And he left his garment in her hand and fled, and went outside.

nasb@Genesis:35:13 @When she saw that he had left his garment in her hand and had fled outside,

nasb@Genesis:35:14 @she called to the men of her household and said to them, "See, he has brought in a Hebrew to us to make sport of us; he came in to me to lie with me, and I screamed.

nasb@Genesis:35:15" @When he heard that I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled and went outside."

nasb@Genesis:35:16 @So she left his garment beside her until his master came home.

nasb@Genesis:35:17 @Then she spoke to him with these words, "The Hebrew slave, whom you brought to us, came in to me to make sport of me;

nasb@Genesis:35:18 @and as I raised my voice and screamed, he left his garment beside me and fled outside."

nasb@Genesis:35:19 @Now when his master heard the words of his wife, which she spoke to him, saying, "This is what your slave did to me," his anger burned.

nasb@Genesis:36:1 @Then it came about after these things, the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt.

nasb@Genesis:36:3 @So he put them in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, in the jail, the same place where Joseph was imprisoned.

nasb@Genesis:36:4 @The captain of the bodyguard put Joseph in charge of them, and he took care of them; and they were in confinement for some time.

nasb@Genesis:36:5 @Then the cupbearer and the baker for the king of Egypt, who were confined in jail, both had a dream the same night, each man with his own dream and each dream with its own interpretation.

nasb@Genesis:36:6 @When Joseph came to them in the morning and observed them, behold, they were dejected.

nasb@Genesis:36:7 @He asked Pharaoh's officials who were with him in confinement in his master's house, " Why are your faces so sad today?"

nasb@Genesis:36:8 @Then they said to him, " We have had a dream and there is no one to interpret it." Then Joseph said to them, " Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell it to me, please."

nasb@Genesis:36:9 @So the chief cupbearer told his dream to Joseph, and said to him, "In my dream, behold, there was a vine in front of me;

nasb@Genesis:36:10 @and on the vine were three branches. And as it was budding, its blossoms came out, and its clusters produced ripe grapes.

nasb@Genesis:36:13 @within three more days Pharaoh will lift up your head and restore you to your office; and you will put Pharaoh's cup into his hand according to your former custom when you were his cupbearer.

nasb@Genesis:36:14" @Only keep me in mind when it goes well with you, and please do me a kindness by mentioning me to Pharaoh and get me out of this house.

nasb@Genesis:36:15" @For I was in fact kidnapped from the land of the Hebrews, and even here I have done nothing that they should have put me into the dungeon."

nasb@Genesis:36:17 @and in the top basket there were some of all sorts of baked food for Pharaoh, and the birds were eating them out of the basket on my head."

nasb@Genesis:36:20 @Thus it came about on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief cupbearer and the head of the chief baker among his servants.

nasb@Genesis:36:23 @Yet the chief cupbearer did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.

nasb@Genesis:37:2 @And lo, from the Nile there came up seven cows, sleek and fat; and they grazed in the marsh grass.

nasb@Genesis:37:3 @Then behold, seven other cows came up after them from the Nile, ugly and gaunt, and they stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile.

nasb@Genesis:37:5 @He fell asleep and dreamed a second time; and behold, seven ears of grain came up on a single stalk, plump and good.

nasb@Genesis:37:8 @Now in the morning his spirit was troubled, so he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt, and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.

nasb@Genesis:37:9 @Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I would make mention today of my own offenses.

nasb@Genesis:37:10" @Pharaoh was furious with his servants, and he put me in confinement in the house of the captain of the bodyguard, both me and the chief baker.

nasb@Genesis:37:11" @ We had a dream on the same night, he and I; each of us dreamed according to the interpretation of his own dream.

nasb@Genesis:37:13" @And just as he interpreted for us, so it happened; he restored me in my office, but he hanged him."

nasb@Genesis:37:14 @Then Pharaoh sent and called for Joseph, and they hurriedly brought him out of the dungeon; and when he had shaved himself and changed his clothes, he came to Pharaoh.

nasb@Genesis:37:16 @Joseph then answered Pharaoh, saying, " It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh a favorable answer."

nasb@Genesis:37:18 @and behold, seven cows, fat and sleek came up out of the Nile, and they grazed in the marsh grass.

nasb@Genesis:37:19" @Lo, seven other cows came up after them, poor and very ugly and gaunt, such as I had never seen for ugliness in all the land of Egypt;

nasb@Genesis:37:22" @I saw also in my dream, and behold, seven ears, full and good, came up on a single stalk;

nasb@Genesis:37:24 @and the thin ears swallowed the seven good ears. Then I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."

nasb@Genesis:37:25 @Now Joseph said to Pharaoh, "Pharaoh's dreams are one and the same; God has told to Pharaoh what He is about to do.

nasb@Genesis:37:26" @The seven good cows are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years; the dreams are one and the same.

nasb@Genesis:37:27" @The seven lean and ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and the seven thin ears scorched by the east wind will be seven years of famine.

nasb@Genesis:37:30 @and after them seven years of famine will come, and all the abundance will be forgotten in the land of Egypt, and the famine will ravage the land.

nasb@Genesis:37:32" @Now as for the repeating of the dream to Pharaoh twice, it means that the matter is determined by God, and God will quickly bring it about.

nasb@Genesis:37:36" @Let the food become as a reserve for the land for the seven years of famine which will occur in the land of Egypt, so that the land will not perish during the famine."

nasb@Genesis:37:37 @Now the proposal seemed good to Pharaoh and to all his servants.

nasb@Genesis:37:39 @So Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Since God has informed you of all this, there is no one so discerning and wise as you are.

nasb@Genesis:37:42 @Then Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and clothed him in garments of fine linen and put the gold necklace around his neck.

nasb@Genesis:37:43 @He had him ride in his second chariot; and they proclaimed before him, "Bow the knee!" And he set him over all the land of Egypt.

nasb@Genesis:37:45 @Then Pharaoh named Joseph Zaphenath-paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, as his wife. And Joseph went forth over the land of Egypt.

nasb@Genesis:37:49 @Thus Joseph stored up grain in great abundance like the sand of the sea, until he stopped measuring it, for it was beyond measure.

nasb@Genesis:37:50 @Now before the year of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.

nasb@Genesis:37:51 @Joseph named the firstborn Manasseh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my trouble and all my father's household."

nasb@Genesis:37:52 @He named the second Ephraim, "For," he said, " God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."

nasb@Genesis:37:53 @When the seven years of plenty which had been in the land of Egypt came to an end,

nasb@Genesis:37:54 @and the seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said, then there was famine in all the lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

nasb@Genesis:37:57 @The people of all the earth came to Egypt to buy grain from Joseph, because the famine was severe in all the earth.

nasb@Genesis:38:2 @He said, "Behold, I have heard that there is grain in Egypt; go down there and buy some for us from that place, so that we may live and not die."

nasb@Genesis:38:5 @So the sons of Israel came to buy grain among those who were coming, for the famine was in the land of Canaan also.

nasb@Genesis:38:6 @Now Joseph was the ruler over the land; he was the one who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brothers came and bowed down to him with their faces to the ground.

nasb@Genesis:38:7 @When Joseph saw his brothers he recognized them, but he disguised himself to them and spoke to them harshly. And he said to them, "Where have you come from?" And they said, "From the land of Canaan, to buy food."

nasb@Genesis:38:9 @Joseph remembered the dreams which he had about them, and said to them, "You are spies; you have come to look at the undefended parts of our land."

nasb@Genesis:38:10 @Then they said to him, "No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.

nasb@Genesis:38:11" @We are all sons of one man; we are honest men, your servants are not spies."

nasb@Genesis:38:12 @Yet he said to them, "No, but you have come to look at the undefended parts of our land!"

nasb@Genesis:38:15 @by this you will be tested- by the life of Pharaoh, you shall not go from this place unless your youngest brother comes here!

nasb@Genesis:38:19 @if you are honest men, let one of your brothers be confined in your prison; but as for the rest of you, go, carry grain for the famine of your households,

nasb@Genesis:38:20 @and bring your youngest brother to me, so your words may be verified, and you will not die." And they did so.

nasb@Genesis:38:21 @Then they said to one another, " Truly we are guilty concerning our brother, because we saw the distress of his soul when he pleaded with us, yet we would not listen; therefore this distress has come upon us."

nasb@Genesis:38:22 @Reuben answered them, saying, " Did I not tell you, 'Do not sin against the boy'; and you would not listen? Now comes the reckoning for his blood."

nasb@Genesis:38:24 @He turned away from them and wept. But when he returned to them and spoke to them, he took Simeon from them and bound him before their eyes.

nasb@Genesis:38:29 @When they came to their father Jacob in the land of Canaan, they told him all that had happened to them, saying,

nasb@Genesis:38:31" @But we said to him, 'We are honest men; we are not spies.

nasb@Genesis:38:33" @The man, the lord of the land, said to us, ' By this I will know that you are honest men- leave one of your brothers with me and take grain for the famine of your households, and go.

nasb@Genesis:38:34 @'But bring your youngest brother to me that I may know that you are not spies, but honest men. I will give your brother to you, and you may trade in the land.'"

nasb@Genesis:38:35 @Now it came about as they were emptying their sacks, that behold, every man's bundle of money was in his sack; and when they and their father saw their bundles of money, they were dismayed.

nasb@Genesis:38:36 @Their father Jacob said to them, "You have bereaved me of my children- Joseph is no more, and Simeon is no more, and you would take Benjamin; all these things are against me."

nasb@Genesis:39:2 @So it came about when they had finished eating the grain which they had brought from Egypt, that their father said to them, "Go back, buy us a little food."

nasb@Genesis:39:6 @Then Israel said, "Why did you treat me so badly by telling the man whether you still had another brother?"

nasb@Genesis:39:8 @Judah said to his father Israel, "Send the lad with me and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, we as well as you and our little ones.

nasb@Genesis:39:9" @ I myself will be surety for him; you may hold me responsible for him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame before you forever.

nasb@Genesis:39:11 @Then their father Israel said to them, "If it must be so, then do this- take some of the best products of the land in your bags, and carry down to the man as a present, a little balm and a little honey, aromatic gum and myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds.

nasb@Genesis:39:14 @and may God Almighty grant you compassion in the sight of the man, so that he will release to you your other brother and Benjamin. And as for me, if I am bereaved of my children, I am bereaved."

nasb@Genesis:39:15 @So the men took this present, and they took double the money in their hand, and Benjamin; then they arose and went down to Egypt and stood before Joseph.

nasb@Genesis:39:16 @When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to his house steward, "Bring the men into the house, and slay an animal and make ready; for the men are to dine with me at noon."

nasb@Genesis:39:17 @So the man did as Joseph said, and brought the men to Joseph's house.

nasb@Genesis:39:18 @Now the men were afraid, because they were brought to Joseph's house; and they said, "It is because of the money that was returned in our sacks the first time that we are being brought in, that he may seek occasion against us and fall upon us, and take us for slaves with our donkeys."

nasb@Genesis:39:19 @So they came near to Joseph's house steward, and spoke to him at the entrance of the house,

nasb@Genesis:39:20 @and said, "Oh, my lord, we indeed came down the first time to buy food,

nasb@Genesis:39:21 @and it came about when we came to the lodging place, that we opened our sacks, and behold, each man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full. So we have brought it back in our hand.

nasb@Genesis:39:23 @He said, " Be at ease, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks; I had your money." Then he brought Simeon out to them.

nasb@Genesis:39:24 @Then the man brought the men into Joseph's house and gave them water, and they washed their feet; and he gave their donkeys fodder.

nasb@Genesis:39:25 @So they prepared the present for Joseph's coming at noon; for they had heard that they were to eat a meal there.

nasb@Genesis:39:26 @When Joseph came home, they brought into the house to him the present which was in their hand and bowed to the ground before him.

nasb@Genesis:39:29 @As he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, he said, "Is this your youngest brother, of whom you spoke to me?" And he said, " May God be gracious to you, my son."

nasb@Genesis:39:31 @Then he washed his face and came out; and he controlled himself and said, "Serve the meal."

nasb@Genesis:39:32 @So they served him by himself, and them by themselves, and the Egyptians who ate with him by themselves, because the Egyptians could not eat bread with the Hebrews, for that is loathsome to the Egyptians.

nasb@Genesis:39:33 @Now they were seated before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth, and the men looked at one another in astonishment.

nasb@Genesis:39:34 @He took portions to them from his own table, but Benjamin's portion was five times as much as any of theirs. So they feasted and drank freely with him.

nasb@Genesis:39:44 @Then he commanded his house steward, saying, "Fill the men's sacks with food, as much as they can carry, and put each man's money in the mouth of his sack.

nasb@Genesis:39:3 @As soon as it was light, the men were sent away, they with their donkeys.

nasb@Genesis:39:4 @They had just gone out of the city, and were not far off, when Joseph said to his house steward, "Up, follow the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, 'Why have you repaid evil for good?

nasb@Genesis:39:9" @ With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord's slaves."

nasb@Genesis:39:14 @When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, he was still there, and they fell to the ground before him.

nasb@Genesis:39:17 @But he said, "Far be it from me to do this. The man in whose possession the cup has been found, he shall be my slave; but as for you, go up in peace to your father."

nasb@Genesis:39:21" @Then you said to your servants, ' Bring him down to me that I may set my eyes on him.'

nasb@Genesis:39:23" @You said to your servants, however, ' Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you will not see my face again.'

nasb@Genesis:39:24" @Thus it came about when we went up to your servant my father, we told him the words of my lord.

nasb@Genesis:39:27" @Your servant my father said to us, 'You know that my wife bore me two sons;

nasb@Genesis:39:28 @and the one went out from me, and I said, "Surely he is torn in pieces," and I have not seen him since.

nasb@Genesis:39:29 @'If you take this one also from me, and harm befalls him, you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.'

nasb@Genesis:39:30" @Now, therefore, when I come to your servant my father, and the lad is not with us, since his life is bound up in the lad's life,

nasb@Genesis:39:32" @For your servant became surety for the lad to my father, saying, 'If I do not bring him back to you, then let me bear the blame before my father forever.'

nasb@Genesis:39:34" @For how shall I go up to my father if the lad is not with me--for fear that I see the evil that would overtake my fatherNULL"

nasb@Genesis:40:1 @Then Joseph could not control himself before all those who stood by him, and he cried, "Have everyone go out from me." So there was no man with him when Joseph made himself known to his brothers.

nasb@Genesis:40:4 @Then Joseph said to his brothers, "Please come closer to me." And they came closer. And he said, "I am your brother Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt.

nasb@Genesis:40:5" @Now do not be grieved or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here, for God sent me before you to preserve life.

nasb@Genesis:40:7" @ God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant in the earth, and to keep you alive by a great deliverance.

nasb@Genesis:40:8" @Now, therefore, it was not you who sent me here, but God; and He has made me a father to Pharaoh and lord of all his household and ruler over all the land of Egypt.

nasb@Genesis:40:9" @Hurry and go up to my father, and say to him, 'Thus says your son Joseph, "God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, do not delay.

nasb@Genesis:40:10" @You shall live in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you and your children and your children's children and your flocks and your herds and all that you have.

nasb@Genesis:40:11" @There I will also provide for you, for there are still five years of famine to come, and you and your household and all that you have would be impoverished."'

nasb@Genesis:40:16 @Now when the news was heard in Pharaoh's house that Joseph's brothers had come, it pleased Pharaoh and his servants.

nasb@Genesis:40:18 @and take your father and your households and come to me, and I will give you the best of the land of Egypt and you will eat the fat of the land.'

nasb@Genesis:40:19" @Now you are ordered, 'Do this- take wagons from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and bring your father and come.

nasb@Genesis:40:22 @To each of them he gave changes of garments, but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of garments.

nasb@Genesis:40:25 @Then they went up from Egypt, and came to the land of Canaan to their father Jacob.

nasb@Genesis:41:1 @So Israel set out with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.

nasb@Genesis:41:6 @They took their livestock and their property, which they had acquired in the land of Canaan, and came to Egypt, Jacob and all his descendants with him-

nasb@Genesis:41:8 @Now these are the names of the sons of Israel, Jacob and his sons, who went to Egypt- Reuben, Jacob's firstborn.

nasb@Genesis:41:10 @The sons of Simeon- Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman.

nasb@Genesis:41:11 @The sons of Levi- Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

nasb@Genesis:41:26 @All the persons belonging to Jacob, who came to Egypt, his direct descendants, not including the wives of Jacob's sons, were sixty-six persons in all,

nasb@Genesis:41:27 @and the sons of Joseph, who were born to him in Egypt were two; all the persons of the house of Jacob, who came to Egypt, were seventy.

nasb@Genesis:41:28 @Now he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to point out the way before him to Goshen; and they came into the land of Goshen.

nasb@Genesis:41:29 @Joseph prepared his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel; as soon as he appeared before him, he fell on his neck and wept on his neck a long time.

nasb@Genesis:41:30 @Then Israel said to Joseph, "Now let me die, since I have seen your face, that you are still alive."

nasb@Genesis:41:31 @Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household, " I will go up and tell Pharaoh, and will say to him, 'My brothers and my father's household, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me;

nasb@Genesis:41:32 @and the men are shepherds, for they have been keepers of livestock; and they have brought their flocks and their herds and all that they have.'

nasb@Genesis:41:34 @you shall say, 'Your servants have been keepers of livestock from our youth even until now, both we and our fathers,' that you may live in the land of Goshen; for every shepherd is loathsome to the Egyptians."

nasb@Genesis:42:1 @Then Joseph went in and told Pharaoh, and said, "My father and my brothers and their flocks and their herds and all that they have, have come out of the land of Canaan; and behold, they are in the land of Goshen."

nasb@Genesis:42:2 @He took five men from among his brothers and presented them to Pharaoh.

nasb@Genesis:42:4 @They said to Pharaoh, " We have come to sojourn in the land, for there is no pasture for your servants' flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now, therefore, please let your servants live in the land of Goshen."

nasb@Genesis:42:5 @Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Your father and your brothers have come to you.

nasb@Genesis:42:6" @The land of Egypt is at your disposal; settle your father and your brothers in the best of the land, let them live in the land of Goshen; and if you know any capable men among them, then put them in charge of my livestock."

nasb@Genesis:42:11 @So Joseph settled his father and his brothers and gave them a possession in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, in the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had ordered.

nasb@Genesis:42:15 @When the money was all spent in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, "Give us food, for why should we die in your presence? For our money is gone."

nasb@Genesis:42:18 @When that year was ended, they came to him the next year and said to him, "We will not hide from my lord that our money is all spent, and the cattle are my lord's. There is nothing left for my lord except our bodies and our lands.

nasb@Genesis:42:20 @So Joseph bought all the land of Egypt for Pharaoh, for every Egyptian sold his field, because the famine was severe upon them. Thus the land became Pharaoh's.

nasb@Genesis:42:22 @Only the land of the priests he did not buy, for the priests had an allotment from Pharaoh, and they lived off the allotment which Pharaoh gave them. Therefore, they did not sell their land.

nasb@Genesis:42:26 @Joseph made it a statute concerning the land of Egypt valid to this day, that Pharaoh should have the fifth; only the land of the priests did not become Pharaoh's.

nasb@Genesis:42:27 @Now Israel lived in the land of Egypt, in Goshen, and they acquired property in it and were fruitful and became very numerous.

nasb@Genesis:42:29 @When the time for Israel to die drew near, he called his son Joseph and said to him, "Please, if I have found favor in your sight, place now your hand under my thigh and deal with me in kindness and faithfulness. Please do not bury me in Egypt,

nasb@Genesis:42:30 @but when I lie down with my fathers, you shall carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place." And he said, "I will do as you have said."

nasb@Genesis:42:31 @He said, " Swear to me." So he swore to him. Then Israel bowed in worship at the head of the bed.

nasb@Genesis:43:1 @Now it came about after these things that Joseph was told, "Behold, your father is sick." So he took his two sons Manasseh and Ephraim with him.

nasb@Genesis:43:2 @When it was told to Jacob, "Behold, your son Joseph has come to you," Israel collected his strength and sat up in the bed.

nasb@Genesis:43:3 @Then Jacob said to Joseph, " God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the land of Canaan and blessed me,

nasb@Genesis:43:4 @and He said to me, 'Behold, I will make you fruitful and numerous, and I will make you a company of peoples, and will give this land to your descendants after you for an everlasting possession.'

nasb@Genesis:43:5" @Now your two sons, who were born to you in the land of Egypt before I came to you in Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh shall be mine, as Reuben and Simeon are.

nasb@Genesis:43:6" @But your offspring that have been born after them shall be yours; they shall be called by the names of their brothers in their inheritance.

nasb@Genesis:43:7" @Now as for me, when I came from Paddan, Rachel died, to my sorrow, in the land of Canaan on the journey, when there was still some distance to go to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem)."

nasb@Genesis:43:9 @Joseph said to his father, " They are my sons, whom God has given me here." So he said, "Bring them to me, please, that I may bless them."

nasb@Genesis:43:11 @Israel said to Joseph, "I never expected to see your face, and behold, God has let me see your children as well."

nasb@Genesis:43:16 @The angel who has redeemed me from all evil, Bless the lads; And may my name live on in them, And the names of my fathers Abraham and Isaac; And may they grow into a multitude in the midst of the earth."

nasb@Genesis:43:19 @But his father refused and said, "I know, my son, I know; he also will become a people and he also will be great. However, his younger brother shall be greater than he, and his descendants shall become a multitude of nations."

nasb@Genesis:43:49 @Then Jacob summoned his sons and said, "Assemble yourselves that I may tell you what will befall you in the days to come.

nasb@Genesis:43:5" @ Simeon and Levi are brothers; Their swords are implements of violence.

nasb@Genesis:43:6" @ Let my soul not enter into their council; Let not my glory be united with their assembly; Because in their anger they slew men, And in their self-will they lamed oxen.

nasb@Genesis:43:10" @ The scepter shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler's staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh comes, And to him shall be the obedience of the peoples.

nasb@Genesis:43:11" @ He ties his foal to the vine, And his donkey's colt to the choice vine; He washes his garments in wine, And his robes in the blood of grapes.

nasb@Genesis:43:15" @When he saw that a resting place was good And that the land was pleasant, He bowed his shoulder to bear burdens, And became a slave at forced labor.

nasb@Genesis:43:29 @Then he charged them and said to them, "I am about to be gathered to my people; bury me with my fathers in the cave that is in the field of Ephron the Hittite,

nasb@Genesis:44:2 @Joseph commanded his servants the physicians to embalm his father. So the physicians embalmed Israel.

nasb@Genesis:44:5 @' My father made me swear, saying, "Behold, I am about to die; in my grave which I dug for myself in the land of Canaan, there you shall bury me." Now therefore, please let me go up and bury my father; then I will return.'"

nasb@Genesis:44:9 @There also went up with him both chariots and horsemen; and it was a very great company.

nasb@Genesis:44:10 @When they came to the threshing floor of Atad, which is beyond the Jordan, they lamented there with a very great and sorrowful lamentation; and he observed seven days mourning for his father.

nasb@Genesis:44:11 @Now when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning at the threshing floor of Atad, they said, "This is a grievous mourning for the Egyptians." Therefore it was named Abel-mizraim, which is beyond the Jordan.

nasb@Genesis:44:16 @So they sent a message to Joseph, saying, "Your father charged before he died, saying,

nasb@Genesis:44:18 @Then his brothers also came and fell down before him and said, "Behold, we are your servants."

nasb@Genesis:44:20" @As for you, you meant evil against me, but God meant it for good in order to bring about this present result, to preserve many people alive.

nasb@Genesis:44:26 @So Joseph died at the age of one hundred and ten years; and he was embalmed and placed in a coffin in Egypt.

nasb@Exodus:1:1 @Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came to Egypt with Jacob; they came each one with his household-

nasb@Exodus:1:2 @Reuben, Simeon, Levi and Judah;

nasb@Exodus:1:5 @All the persons who came from the loins of Jacob were seventy in number, but Joseph was already in Egypt.

nasb@Exodus:1:7 @But the sons of Israel were fruitful and increased greatly, and multiplied, and became exceedingly mighty, so that the land was filled with them.

nasb@Exodus:1:10" @Come, let us deal wisely with them, or else they will multiply and in the event of war, they will also join themselves to those who hate us, and fight against us and depart from the land."

nasb@Exodus:1:15 @Then the king of Egypt spoke to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other was named Puah;

nasb@Exodus:1:16 @and he said, "When you are helping the Hebrew women to give birth and see them upon the birthstool, if it is a son, then you shall put him to death; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live."

nasb@Exodus:1:19 @The midwives said to Pharaoh, "Because the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women; for they are vigorous and give birth before the midwife can get to them."

nasb@Exodus:1:20 @So God was good to the midwives, and the people multiplied, and became very mighty.

nasb@Exodus:2:5 @The daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the Nile, with her maidens walking alongside the Nile; and she saw the basket among the reeds and sent her maid, and she brought it to her.

nasb@Exodus:2:7 @Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, "Shall I go and call a nurse for you from the Hebrew women that she may nurse the child for you?"

nasb@Exodus:2:9 @Then Pharaoh's daughter said to her, "Take this child away and nurse him for me and I will give you your wages." So the woman took the child and nursed him.

nasb@Exodus:2:10 @The child grew, and she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son. And she named him Moses, and said, "Because I drew him out of the water."

nasb@Exodus:2:11 @Now it came about in those days, when Moses had grown up, that he went out to his brethren and looked on their hard labors; and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his brethren.

nasb@Exodus:2:14 @But he said, " Who made you a prince or a judge over us? Are you intending to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?" Then Moses was afraid and said, "Surely the matter has become known."

nasb@Exodus:2:16 @Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters; and they came to draw water and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

nasb@Exodus:2:17 @Then the shepherds came and drove them away, but Moses stood up and helped them and watered their flock.

nasb@Exodus:2:18 @When they came to Reuel their father, he said, "Why have you come back so soon today?"

nasb@Exodus:2:20 @He said to his daughters, "Where is he then? Why is it that you have left the man behind? Invite him to have something to eat."

nasb@Exodus:2:22 @Then she gave birth to a son, and he named him Gershom, for he said, "I have been a sojourner in a foreign land."

nasb@Exodus:2:23 @Now it came about in the course of those many days that the king of Egypt died. And the sons of Israel sighed because of the bondage, and they cried out; and their cry for help because of their bondage rose up to God.

nasb@Exodus:2:24 @So God heard their groaning; and God remembered His covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

nasb@Exodus:3:1 @Now Moses was pasturing the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian; and he led the flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

nasb@Exodus:3:2 @The angel of the LORD appeared to him in a blazing fire from the midst of a bush; and he looked, and behold, the bush was burning with fire, yet the bush was not consumed.

nasb@Exodus:3:5 @Then He said, "Do not come near here; remove your sandals from your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground."

nasb@Exodus:3:8" @So I have come down to deliver them from the power of the Egyptians, and to bring them up from that land to a good and spacious land, to a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.

nasb@Exodus:3:9" @Now, behold, the cry of the sons of Israel has come to Me; furthermore, I have seen the oppression with which the Egyptians are oppressing them.

nasb@Exodus:3:10" @Therefore, come now, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may bring My people, the sons of Israel, out of Egypt."

nasb@Exodus:3:13 @Then Moses said to God, "Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I will say to them, 'The God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His name?' What shall I say to them?"

nasb@Exodus:3:14 @God said to Moses, " I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'"

nasb@Exodus:3:15 @God, furthermore, said to Moses, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, ' The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you.' This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all generations.

nasb@Exodus:3:16" @Go and gather the elders of Israel together and say to them, ' The LORD, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, has appeared to me, saying, " I am indeed concerned about you and what has been done to you in Egypt.

nasb@Exodus:3:18" @ They will pay heed to what you say; and you with the elders of Israel will come to the king of Egypt and you will say to him, 'The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, has met with us. So now, please, let us go a three days' journey into the wilderness, that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God.'

nasb@Exodus:4:1 @Then Moses said, "What if they will not believe me or listen to what I say? For they may say, ' The LORD has not appeared to you.'"

nasb@Exodus:4:3 @Then He said, "Throw it on the ground." So he threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from it.

nasb@Exodus:4:4 @But the LORD said to Moses, "Stretch out your hand and grasp it by its tail"--so he stretched out his hand and caught it, and it became a staff in his hand--

nasb@Exodus:4:9" @But if they will not believe even these two signs or heed what you say, then you shall take some water from the Nile and pour it on the dry ground; and the water which you take from the Nile will become blood on the dry ground."

nasb@Exodus:4:10 @Then Moses said to the LORD, "Please, Lord, I have never been eloquent, neither recently nor in time past, nor since You have spoken to Your servant; for I am slow of speech and slow of tongue."

nasb@Exodus:4:13 @But he said, "Please, Lord, now send the message by whomever You will."

nasb@Exodus:4:14 @Then the anger of the LORD burned against Moses, and He said, "Is there not your brother Aaron the Levite? I know that he speaks fluently. And moreover, behold, he is coming out to meet you; when he sees you, he will be glad in his heart.

nasb@Exodus:4:18 @Then Moses departed and returned to Jethro his father-in-law and said to him, "Please, let me go, that I may return to my brethren who are in Egypt, and see if they are still alive." And Jethro said to Moses, "Go in peace."

nasb@Exodus:4:19 @Now the LORD said to Moses in Midian, "Go back to Egypt, for all the men who were seeking your life are dead."

nasb@Exodus:4:23" @So I said to you, ' Let My son go that he may serve Me'; but you have refused to let him go. Behold, I will kill your son, your firstborn."'"

nasb@Exodus:4:24 @Now it came about at the lodging place on the way that the LORD met him and sought to put him to death.

nasb@Exodus:4:25 @Then Zipporah took a flint and cut off her son's foreskin and threw it at Moses' feet, and she said, "You are indeed a bridegroom of blood to me."

nasb@Exodus:4:26 @So He let him alone. At that time she said, "You are a bridegroom of blood"--because of the circumcision.

nasb@Exodus:4:27 @Now the LORD said to Aaron, "Go to meet Moses in the wilderness." So he went and met him at the mountain of God and kissed him.

nasb@Exodus:4:30 @and Aaron spoke all the words which the LORD had spoken to Moses. He then performed the signs in the sight of the people.

nasb@Exodus:5:1 @And afterward Moses and Aaron came and said to Pharaoh, " Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, ' Let My people go that they may celebrate a feast to Me in the wilderness.'"

nasb@Exodus:5:3 @Then they said, " The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please, let us go a three days' journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the LORD our God, otherwise He will fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword."

nasb@Exodus:5:6 @So the same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters over the people and their foremen, saying,

nasb@Exodus:5:9" @Let the labor be heavier on the men, and let them work at it so that they will pay no attention to false words."

nasb@Exodus:5:10 @So the taskmasters of the people and their foremen went out and spoke to the people, saying, "Thus says Pharaoh, 'I am not going to give you any straw.

nasb@Exodus:5:14 @Moreover, the foremen of the sons of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten and were asked, "Why have you not completed your required amount either yesterday or today in making brick as previously?"

nasb@Exodus:5:15 @Then the foremen of the sons of Israel came and cried out to Pharaoh, saying, "Why do you deal this way with your servants?

nasb@Exodus:5:19 @The foremen of the sons of Israel saw that they were in trouble because they were told, "You must not reduce your daily amount of bricks."

nasb@Exodus:5:20 @When they left Pharaoh's presence, they met Moses and Aaron as they were waiting for them.

nasb@Exodus:5:22 @Then Moses returned to the LORD and said, " O Lord, why have You brought harm to this people? Why did You ever send me?

nasb@Exodus:5:23" @Ever since I came to Pharaoh to speak in Your name, he has done harm to this people, and You have not delivered Your people at all."

nasb@Exodus:6:3 @and I appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My name, LORD, I did not make Myself known to them.

nasb@Exodus:6:5" @Furthermore I have heard the groaning of the sons of Israel, because the Egyptians are holding them in bondage, and I have remembered My covenant.

nasb@Exodus:6:6" @Say, therefore, to the sons of Israel, ' I am the LORD, and I will bring you out from under the burdens of the Egyptians, and I will deliver you from their bondage. I will also redeem you with an outstretched arm and with great judgments.

nasb@Exodus:6:12 @But Moses spoke before the LORD, saying, "Behold, the sons of Israel have not listened to me; how then will Pharaoh listen to me, for I am unskilled in speech?"

nasb@Exodus:6:15 @The sons of Simeon- Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul the son of a Canaanite woman; these are the families of Simeon.

nasb@Exodus:6:16 @These are the names of the sons of Levi according to their generations- Gershon and Kohath and Merari; and the length of Levi's life was one hundred and thirty-seven years.

nasb@Exodus:6:17 @The sons of Gershon- Libni and Shimei, according to their families.

nasb@Exodus:6:19 @The sons of Merari- Mahli and Mushi. These are the families of the Levites according to their generations.

nasb@Exodus:6:26 @It was the same Aaron and Moses to whom the LORD said, " Bring out the sons of Israel from the land of Egypt according to their hosts."

nasb@Exodus:6:27 @They were the ones who spoke to Pharaoh king of Egypt about bringing out the sons of Israel from Egypt; it was the same Moses and Aaron.

nasb@Exodus:6:28 @Now it came about on the day when the LORD spoke to Moses in the land of Egypt,

nasb@Exodus:6:30 @But Moses said before the LORD, "Behold, I am unskilled in speech; how then will Pharaoh listen to meNULL"

nasb@Exodus:6:4" @When Pharaoh does not listen to you, then I will lay My hand on Egypt and bring out My hosts, My people the sons of Israel, from the land of Egypt by great judgments.

nasb@Exodus:6:9" @When Pharaoh speaks to you, saying, ' Work a miracle,' then you shall say to Aaron, ' Take your staff and throw it down before Pharaoh, that it may become a serpent.'"

nasb@Exodus:6:10 @So Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and thus they did just as the LORD had commanded; and Aaron threw his staff down before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a serpent.

nasb@Exodus:6:11 @Then Pharaoh also called for the wise men and the sorcerers, and they also, the magicians of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts.

nasb@Exodus:6:15" @Go to Pharaoh in the morning as he is going out to the water, and station yourself to meet him on the bank of the Nile; and you shall take in your hand the staff that was turned into a serpent.

nasb@Exodus:6:16" @ You shall say to him, 'The LORD, the God of the Hebrews, sent me to you, saying, " Let My people go, that they may serve Me in the wilderness. But behold, you have not listened until now."

nasb@Exodus:6:18" @ The fish that are in the Nile will die, and the Nile will become foul, and the Egyptians will find difficulty in drinking water from the Nile."'"

nasb@Exodus:6:19 @Then the LORD said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, 'Take your staff and stretch out your hand over the waters of Egypt, over their rivers, over their streams, and over their pools, and over all their reservoirs of water, that they may become blood; and there will be blood throughout all the land of Egypt, both in vessels of wood and in vessels of stone.'"

nasb@Exodus:6:21 @The fish that were in the Nile died, and the Nile became foul, so that the Egyptians could not drink water from the Nile. And the blood was through all the land of Egypt.

nasb@Exodus:6:22 @But the magicians of Egypt did the same with their secret arts; and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he did not listen to them, as the LORD had said.

nasb@Exodus:6:8 @Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh and say to him, 'Thus says the LORD, " Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

nasb@Exodus:6:3" @The Nile will swarm with frogs, which will come up and go into your house and into your bedroom and on your bed, and into the houses of your servants and on your people, and into your ovens and into your kneading bowls.

nasb@Exodus:6:4" @So the frogs will come up on you and your people and all your servants."'"

nasb@Exodus:6:5 @Then the LORD said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, ' Stretch out your hand with your staff over the rivers, over the streams and over the pools, and make frogs come up on the land of Egypt.'"

nasb@Exodus:6:6 @So Aaron stretched out his hand over the waters of Egypt, and the frogs came up and covered the land of Egypt.

nasb@Exodus:6:7 @The magicians did the same with their secret arts, making frogs come up on the land of Egypt.

nasb@Exodus:6:8 @Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron and said, " Entreat the LORD that He remove the frogs from me and from my people; and I will let the people go, that they may sacrifice to the LORD."

nasb@Exodus:6:9 @Moses said to Pharaoh, "The honor is yours to tell me- when shall I entreat for you and your servants and your people, that the frogs be destroyed from you and your houses, that they may be left only in the Nile?"

nasb@Exodus:6:14 @So they piled them in heaps, and the land became foul.

nasb@Exodus:6:16 @Then the LORD said to Moses, "Say to Aaron, 'Stretch out your staff and strike the dust of the earth, that it may become gnats through all the land of Egypt.'"

nasb@Exodus:6:17 @They did so; and Aaron stretched out his hand with his staff, and struck the dust of the earth, and there were gnats on man and beast. All the dust of the earth became gnats through all the land of Egypt.

nasb@Exodus:6:20 @Now the LORD said to Moses, " Rise early in the morning and present yourself before Pharaoh, as he comes out to the water, and say to him, 'Thus says the LORD, " Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

nasb@Exodus:6:24 @Then the LORD did so. And there came great swarms of flies into the house of Pharaoh and the houses of his servants and the land was laid waste because of the swarms of flies in all the land of Egypt.

nasb@Exodus:6:28 @Pharaoh said, " I will let you go, that you may sacrifice to the LORD your God in the wilderness; only you shall not go very far away. Make supplication for me."

nasb@Exodus:6:32 @But Pharaoh hardened his heart this time also, and he did not let the people go.

nasb@Exodus:6:9 @Then the LORD said to Moses, "Go to Pharaoh and speak to him, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, " Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

nasb@Exodus:6:3 @behold, the hand of the LORD will come with a very severe pestilence on your livestock which are in the field, on the horses, on the donkeys, on the camels, on the herds, and on the flocks.

nasb@Exodus:6:5 @The LORD set a definite time, saying, "Tomorrow the LORD will do this thing in the land."

nasb@Exodus:6:9" @It will become fine dust over all the land of Egypt, and will become boils breaking out with sores on man and beast through all the land of Egypt."

nasb@Exodus:6:10 @So they took soot from a kiln, and stood before Pharaoh; and Moses threw it toward the sky, and it became boils breaking out with sores on man and beast.

nasb@Exodus:6:13 @Then the LORD said to Moses, " Rise up early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh and say to him, 'Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, " Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

nasb@Exodus:6:14" @For this time I will send all My plagues on you and your servants and your people, so that you may know that there is no one like Me in all the earth.

nasb@Exodus:6:16" @But, indeed, for this reason I have allowed you to remain, in order to show you My power and in order to proclaim My name through all the earth.

nasb@Exodus:6:18" @Behold, about this time tomorrow, I will send a very heavy hail, such as has not been seen in Egypt from the day it was founded until now.

nasb@Exodus:6:19" @Now therefore send, bring your livestock and whatever you have in the field to safety. Every man and beast that is found in the field and is not brought home, when the hail comes down on them, will die."'"

nasb@Exodus:6:24 @So there was hail, and fire flashing continually in the midst of the hail, very severe, such as had not been in all the land of Egypt since it became a nation.

nasb@Exodus:6:27 @Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, " I have sinned this time; the LORD is the righteous one, and I and my people are the wicked ones.

nasb@Exodus:7:2 @and that you may tell in the hearing of your son, and of your grandson, how I made a mockery of the Egyptians and how I performed My signs among them, that you may know that I am the LORD."

nasb@Exodus:7:3 @Moses and Aaron went to Pharaoh and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, the God of the Hebrews, 'How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

nasb@Exodus:7:6 @'Then your houses shall be filled and the houses of all your servants and the houses of all the Egyptians, something which neither your fathers nor your grandfathers have seen, from the day that they came upon the earth until this day.'" And he turned and went out from Pharaoh.

nasb@Exodus:7:7 @Pharaoh's servants said to him, "How long will this man be a snare to us? Let the men go, that they may serve the LORD their God. Do you not realize that Egypt is destroyed?"

nasb@Exodus:7:11" @Not so! Go now, the men among you, and serve the LORD, for that is what you desire." So they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.

nasb@Exodus:7:12 @Then the LORD said to Moses, " Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come up on the land of Egypt and eat every plant of the land, even all that the hail has left."

nasb@Exodus:7:14 @The locusts came up over all the land of Egypt and settled in all the territory of Egypt; they were very numerous. There had never been so many locusts, nor would there be so many again.

nasb@Exodus:7:17" @Now therefore, please forgive my sin only this once, and make supplication to the LORD your God, that He would only remove this death from me."

nasb@Exodus:7:26" @ Therefore, our livestock too shall go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind, for we shall take some of them to serve the LORD our God. And until we arrive there, we ourselves do not know with what we shall serve the LORD."

nasb@Exodus:7:3 @The LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Furthermore, the man Moses himself was greatly esteemed in the land of Egypt, both in the sight of Pharaoh's servants and in the sight of the people.

nasb@Exodus:7:8" @ All these your servants will come down to me and bow themselves before me, saying, 'Go out, you and all the people who follow you,' and after that I will go out." And he went out from Pharaoh in hot anger.

nasb@Exodus:7:3 @Moses said to the people, " Remember this day in which you went out from Egypt, from the house of slavery; for by a powerful hand the LORD brought you out from this place. And nothing leavened shall be eaten.

nasb@Exodus:7:8" @ You shall tell your son on that day, saying, 'It is because of what the LORD did for me when I came out of Egypt.'

nasb@Exodus:7:10" @Therefore, you shall keep this ordinance at its appointed time from year to year.

nasb@Exodus:7:14" @ And it shall be when your son asks you in time to come, saying, 'What is this?' then you shall say to him, ' With a powerful hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, from the house of slavery.

nasb@Exodus:7:15 @'It came about, when Pharaoh was stubborn about letting us go, that the LORD killed every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast. Therefore, I sacrifice to the LORD the males, the first offspring of every womb, but every firstborn of my sons I redeem.'

nasb@Exodus:7:9 @Then the Egyptians chased after them with all the horses and chariots of Pharaoh, his horsemen and his army, and they overtook them camping by the sea, beside Pi-hahiroth, in front of Baal-zephon.

nasb@Exodus:7:10 @As Pharaoh drew near, the sons of Israel looked, and behold, the Egyptians were marching after them, and they became very frightened; so the sons of Israel cried out to the LORD.

nasb@Exodus:7:15 @Then the LORD said to Moses, "Why are you crying out to Me? Tell the sons of Israel to go forward.

nasb@Exodus:7:17" @As for Me, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians so that they will go in after them; and I will be honored through Pharaoh and all his army, through his chariots and his horsemen.

nasb@Exodus:7:18" @ Then the Egyptians will know that I am the LORD, when I am honored through Pharaoh, through his chariots and his horsemen."

nasb@Exodus:7:20 @So it came between the camp of Egypt and the camp of Israel; and there was the cloud along with the darkness, yet it gave light at night. Thus the one did not come near the other all night.

nasb@Exodus:7:23 @Then the Egyptians took up the pursuit, and all Pharaoh's horses, his chariots and his horsemen went in after them into the midst of the sea.

nasb@Exodus:7:26 @Then the LORD said to Moses, " Stretch out your hand over the sea so that the waters may come back over the Egyptians, over their chariots and their horsemen."

nasb@Exodus:7:28 @The waters returned and covered the chariots and the horsemen, even Pharaoh's entire army that had gone into the sea after them; not even one of them remained.

nasb@Exodus:7:2" @ The LORD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation; This is my God, and I will praise Him; My father's God, and I will extol Him.

nasb@Exodus:7:3" @ The LORD is a warrior; The LORD is His name.

nasb@Exodus:7:7" @And in the greatness of Your excellence You overthrow those who rise up against You; You send forth Your burning anger, and it consumes them as chaff.

nasb@Exodus:7:13" @In Your lovingkindness You have led the people whom You have redeemed; In Your strength You have guided them to Your holy habitation.

nasb@Exodus:7:15" @Then the chiefs of Edom were dismayed; The leaders of Moab, trembling grips them; All the inhabitants of Canaan have melted away.

nasb@Exodus:7:19 @For the horses of Pharaoh with his chariots and his horsemen went into the sea, and the LORD brought back the waters of the sea on them, but the sons of Israel walked on dry land through the midst of the sea.

nasb@Exodus:7:20 @Miriam the prophetess, Aaron's sister, took the timbrel in her hand, and all the women went out after her with timbrels and with dancing.

nasb@Exodus:7:23 @When they came to Marah, they could not drink the waters of Marah, for they were bitter; therefore it was named Marah.

nasb@Exodus:7:25 @Then he cried out to the LORD, and the LORD showed him a tree; and he threw it into the waters, and the waters became sweet. There He made for them a statute and regulation, and there He tested them.

nasb@Exodus:7:26 @And He said, " If you will give earnest heed to the voice of the LORD your God, and do what is right in His sight, and give ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have put on the Egyptians; for I, the LORD, am your healer."

nasb@Exodus:7:27 @Then they came to Elim where there were twelve springs of water and seventy date palms, and they camped there beside the waters.

nasb@Exodus:8:1 @Then they set out from Elim, and all the congregation of the sons of Israel came to the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departure from the land of Egypt.

nasb@Exodus:8:3 @The sons of Israel said to them, " Would that we had died by the LORD'S hand in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat, when we ate bread to the full; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger."

nasb@Exodus:8:8 @Moses said, "This will happen when the LORD gives you meat to eat in the evening, and bread to the full in the morning; for the LORD hears your grumblings which you grumble against Him. And what are we? Your grumblings are not against us but against the LORD."

nasb@Exodus:8:9 @Then Moses said to Aaron, "Say to all the congregation of the sons of Israel, ' Come near before the LORD, for He has heard your grumblings.'"

nasb@Exodus:8:10 @It came about as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the sons of Israel, that they looked toward the wilderness, and behold, the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud.

nasb@Exodus:8:12" @ I have heard the grumblings of the sons of Israel; speak to them, saying, 'At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall be filled with bread; and you shall know that I am the LORD your God.'"

nasb@Exodus:8:13 @So it came about at evening that the quails came up and covered the camp, and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp.

nasb@Exodus:8:16" @This is what the LORD has commanded, 'Gather of it every man as much as he should eat; you shall take an omer apiece according to the number of persons each of you has in his tent.'"

nasb@Exodus:8:17 @The sons of Israel did so, and some gathered much and some little.

nasb@Exodus:8:18 @When they measured it with an omer, he who had gathered much had no excess, and he who had gathered little had no lack; every man gathered as much as he should eat.

nasb@Exodus:8:20 @But they did not listen to Moses, and some left part of it until morning, and it bred worms and became foul; and Moses was angry with them.

nasb@Exodus:8:21 @They gathered it morning by morning, every man as much as he should eat; but when the sun grew hot, it would melt.

nasb@Exodus:8:22 @Now on the sixth day they gathered twice as much bread, two omers for each one. When all the leaders of the congregation came and told Moses,

nasb@Exodus:8:23 @then he said to them, "This is what the LORD meant- Tomorrow is a sabbath observance, a holy sabbath to the LORD. Bake what you will bake and boil what you will boil, and all that is left over put aside to be kept until morning."

nasb@Exodus:8:24 @So they put it aside until morning, as Moses had ordered, and it did not become foul nor was there any worm in it.

nasb@Exodus:8:27 @It came about on the seventh day that some of the people went out to gather, but they found none.

nasb@Exodus:8:28 @Then the LORD said to Moses, " How long do you refuse to keep My commandments and My instructions?

nasb@Exodus:8:31 @The house of Israel named it manna, and it was like coriander seed, white, and its taste was like wafers with honey.

nasb@Exodus:8:32 @Then Moses said, "This is what the LORD has commanded, 'Let an omerful of it be kept throughout your generations, that they may see the bread that I fed you in the wilderness, when I brought you out of the land of Egypt.'"

nasb@Exodus:8:33 @Moses said to Aaron, " Take a jar and put an omerful of manna in it, and place it before the LORD to be kept throughout your generations."

nasb@Exodus:8:35 @The sons of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land; they ate the manna until they came to the border of the land of Canaan.

nasb@Exodus:8:36 @(Now an omer is a tenth of an ephah.)

nasb@Exodus:9:2 @Therefore the people quarreled with Moses and said, "Give us water that we may drink." And Moses said to them, " Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the LORD?"

nasb@Exodus:9:4 @So Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "What shall I do to this people? A little more and they will stone me."

nasb@Exodus:9:5 @Then the LORD said to Moses, "Pass before the people and take with you some of the elders of Israel; and take in your hand your staff with which you struck the Nile, and go.

nasb@Exodus:9:6" @Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock at Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink." And Moses did so in the sight of the elders of Israel.

nasb@Exodus:9:7 @He named the place Massah and Meribah because of the quarrel of the sons of Israel, and because they tested the LORD, saying, "Is the LORD among us, or not?"

nasb@Exodus:9:8 @Then Amalek came and fought against Israel at Rephidim.

nasb@Exodus:9:9 @So Moses said to Joshua, "Choose men for us and go out, fight against Amalek. Tomorrow I will station myself on the top of the hill with the staff of God in my hand."

nasb@Exodus:9:11 @So it came about when Moses held his hand up, that Israel prevailed, and when he let his hand down, Amalek prevailed.

nasb@Exodus:9:13 @So Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the edge of the sword.

nasb@Exodus:9:14 @Then the LORD said to Moses, " Write this in a book as a memorial and recite it to Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven."

nasb@Exodus:9:15 @Moses built an altar and named it The LORD is My Banner;

nasb@Exodus:10:3 @and her two sons, of whom one was named Gershom, for Moses said, "I have been a sojourner in a foreign land."

nasb@Exodus:10:4 @The other was named Eliezer, for he said, " The God of my father was my help, and delivered me from the sword of Pharaoh."

nasb@Exodus:10:5 @Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to Moses in the wilderness where he was camped, at the mount of God.

nasb@Exodus:10:7 @Then Moses went out to meet his father-in-law, and he bowed down and kissed him; and they asked each other of their welfare and went into the tent.

nasb@Exodus:10:12 @Then Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, took a burnt offering and sacrifices for God, and Aaron came with all the elders of Israel to eat a meal with Moses' father-in-law before God.

nasb@Exodus:10:13 @It came about the next day that Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood about Moses from the morning until the evening.

nasb@Exodus:10:15 @Moses said to his father-in-law, "Because the people come to me to inquire of God.

nasb@Exodus:10:16" @When they have a dispute, it comes to me, and I judge between a man and his neighbor and make known the statutes of God and His laws."

nasb@Exodus:10:19" @Now listen to me- I will give you counsel, and God be with you. You be the people's representative before God, and you bring the disputes to God,

nasb@Exodus:10:21" @Furthermore, you shall select out of all the people able men who fear God, men of truth, those who hate dishonest gain; and you shall place these over them as leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens.

nasb@Exodus:10:22" @Let them judge the people at all times; and let it be that every major dispute they will bring to you, but every minor dispute they themselves will judge. So it will be easier for you, and they will bear the burden with you.

nasb@Exodus:10:25 @Moses chose able men out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, leaders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens.

nasb@Exodus:10:26 @They judged the people at all times; the difficult dispute they would bring to Moses, but every minor dispute they themselves would judge.

nasb@Exodus:11:1 @In the third month after the sons of Israel had gone out of the land of Egypt, on that very day they came into the wilderness of Sinai.

nasb@Exodus:11:2 @When they set out from Rephidim, they came to the wilderness of Sinai and camped in the wilderness; and there Israel camped in front of the mountain.

nasb@Exodus:11:6 @and you shall be to Me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words that you shall speak to the sons of Israel."

nasb@Exodus:11:7 @So Moses came and called the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which the LORD had commanded him.

nasb@Exodus:11:9 @The LORD said to Moses, "Behold, I will come to you in a thick cloud, so that the people may hear when I speak with you and may also believe in you forever." Then Moses told the words of the people to the LORD.

nasb@Exodus:11:10 @The LORD also said to Moses, "Go to the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow, and let them wash their garments;

nasb@Exodus:11:11 @and let them be ready for the third day, for on the third day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.

nasb@Exodus:11:13 @'No hand shall touch him, but he shall surely be stoned or shot through; whether beast or man, he shall not live.' When the ram's horn sounds a long blast, they shall come up to the mountain."

nasb@Exodus:11:14 @So Moses went down from the mountain to the people and consecrated the people, and they washed their garments.

nasb@Exodus:11:16 @So it came about on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunder and lightning flashes and a thick cloud upon the mountain and a very loud trumpet sound, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled.

nasb@Exodus:11:17 @And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain.

nasb@Exodus:11:20 @The LORD came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain; and the LORD called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

nasb@Exodus:12:17" @ It is a sign between Me and the sons of Israel forever; for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, but on the seventh day He ceased from labor, and was refreshed."

nasb@Exodus:13:1 @Now when the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people assembled about Aaron and said to him, "Come, make us a god who will go before us; as for this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him."

nasb@Exodus:13:2 @Aaron said to them, " Tear off the gold rings which are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me."

nasb@Exodus:13:10" @Now then let Me alone, that My anger may burn against them and that I may destroy them; and I will make of you a great nation."

nasb@Exodus:13:13" @Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, Your servants to whom You swore by Yourself, and said to them, 'I will multiply your descendants as the stars of the heavens, and all this land of which I have spoken I will give to your descendants, and they shall inherit it forever.'"

nasb@Exodus:13:19 @It came about, as soon as Moses came near the camp, that he saw the calf and the dancing; and Moses' anger burned, and he threw the tablets from his hands and shattered them at the foot of the mountain.

nasb@Exodus:13:23" @For they said to me, 'Make a god for us who will go before us; for this Moses, the man who brought us up from the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.'

nasb@Exodus:13:24" @I said to them, 'Whoever has any gold, let them tear it off.' So they gave it to me, and I threw it into the fire, and out came this calf."

nasb@Exodus:13:26 @then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, and said, "Whoever is for the LORD, come to me!" And all the sons of Levi gathered together to him.

nasb@Exodus:13:28 @So the sons of Levi did as Moses instructed, and about three thousand men of the people fell that day.

nasb@Exodus:13:30 @On the next day Moses said to the people, " You yourselves have committed a great sin; and now I am going up to the LORD, perhaps I can make atonement for your sin."

nasb@Exodus:13:32" @But now, if You will, forgive their sin--and if not, please blot me out from Your book which You have written!"

nasb@Exodus:13:33 @The LORD said to Moses, "Whoever has sinned against Me, I will blot him out of My book.

nasb@Exodus:13:4 @When the people heard this sad word, they went into mourning, and none of them put on his ornaments.

nasb@Exodus:13:5 @For the LORD had said to Moses, "Say to the sons of Israel, 'You are an obstinate people; should I go up in your midst for one moment, I would destroy you. Now therefore, put off your ornaments from you, that I may know what I shall do with you.'"

nasb@Exodus:13:6 @So the sons of Israel stripped themselves of their ornaments, from Mount Horeb onward.

nasb@Exodus:13:7 @Now Moses used to take the tent and pitch it outside the camp, a good distance from the camp, and he called it the tent of meeting. And everyone who sought the LORD would go out to the tent of meeting which was outside the camp.

nasb@Exodus:13:8 @And it came about, whenever Moses went out to the tent, that all the people would arise and stand, each at the entrance of his tent, and gaze after Moses until he entered the tent.

nasb@Exodus:13:12 @Then Moses said to the LORD, "See, You say to me, ' Bring up this people!' But You Yourself have not let me know whom You will send with me. Moreover, You have said, 'I have known you by name, and you have also found favor in My sight.'

nasb@Exodus:13:13" @Now therefore, I pray You, if I have found favor in Your sight, let me know Your ways that I may know You, so that I may find favor in Your sight. Consider too, that this nation is Your people."

nasb@Exodus:13:17 @The LORD said to Moses, "I will also do this thing of which you have spoken; for you have found favor in My sight and I have known you by name."

nasb@Exodus:13:18 @Then Moses said, "I pray You, show me Your glory!"

nasb@Exodus:13:19 @And He said, " I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the LORD before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion on whom I will show compassion."

nasb@Exodus:13:20 @But He said, "You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!"

nasb@Exodus:13:21 @Then the LORD said, "Behold, there is a place by Me, and you shall stand there on the rock;

nasb@Exodus:13:22 @and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by.

nasb@Exodus:13:34 @Now the LORD said to Moses, "Cut out for yourself two stone tablets like the former ones, and I will write on the tablets the words that were on the former tablets which you shattered.

nasb@Exodus:13:2" @So be ready by morning, and come up in the morning to Mount Sinai, and present yourself there to Me on the top of the mountain.

nasb@Exodus:13:3" @ No man is to come up with you, nor let any man be seen anywhere on the mountain; even the flocks and the herds may not graze in front of that mountain."

nasb@Exodus:13:4 @So he cut out two stone tablets like the former ones, and Moses rose up early in the morning and went up to Mount Sinai, as the LORD had commanded him, and he took two stone tablets in his hand.

nasb@Exodus:13:5 @The LORD descended in the cloud and stood there with him as he called upon the name of the LORD.

nasb@Exodus:13:6 @Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, "The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth;

nasb@Exodus:13:7 @who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression and sin; yet He will by no means leave the guilty unpunished, visiting the iniquity of fathers on the children and on the grandchildren to the third and fourth generations."

nasb@Exodus:13:12" @ Watch yourself that you make no covenant with the inhabitants of the land into which you are going, or it will become a snare in your midst.

nasb@Exodus:13:14 @--for you shall not worship any other god, for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God--

nasb@Exodus:13:15 @otherwise you might make a covenant with the inhabitants of the land and they would play the harlot with their gods and sacrifice to their gods, and someone might invite you to eat of his sacrifice,

nasb@Exodus:13:16 @and you might take some of his daughters for your sons, and his daughters might play the harlot with their gods and cause your sons also to play the harlot with their gods.

nasb@Exodus:13:18" @You shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread. For seven days you are to eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the appointed time in the month of Abib, for in the month of Abib you came out of Egypt.

nasb@Exodus:13:19" @ The first offspring from every womb belongs to Me, and all your male livestock, the first offspring from cattle and sheep.

nasb@Exodus:13:20" @ You shall redeem with a lamb the first offspring from a donkey; and if you do not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. You shall redeem all the firstborn of your sons. None shall appear before Me empty-handed.

nasb@Exodus:13:21" @You shall work six days, but on the seventh day you shall rest; even during plowing time and harvest you shall rest.

nasb@Exodus:13:23" @ Three times a year all your males are to appear before the Lord GOD, the God of Israel.

nasb@Exodus:13:24" @For I will drive out nations before you and enlarge your borders, and no man shall covet your land when you go up three times a year to appear before the LORD your God.

nasb@Exodus:13:28 @So he was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did not eat bread or drink water. And he wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.

nasb@Exodus:13:29 @It came about when Moses was coming down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the testimony were in Moses' hand as he was coming down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because of his speaking with Him.

nasb@Exodus:13:30 @So when Aaron and all the sons of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him.

nasb@Exodus:13:32 @Afterward all the sons of Israel came near, and he commanded them to do everything that the LORD had spoken to him on Mount Sinai.

nasb@Exodus:13:34 @But whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with Him, he would take off the veil until he came out; and whenever he came out and spoke to the sons of Israel what he had been commanded,

nasb@Exodus:13:21 @Everyone whose heart stirred him and everyone whose spirit moved him came and brought the LORD'S contribution for the work of the tent of meeting and for all its service and for the holy garments.

nasb@Exodus:13:22 @Then all whose hearts moved them, both men and women, came and brought brooches and earrings and signet rings and bracelets, all articles of gold; so did every man who presented an offering of gold to the LORD.

nasb@Exodus:13:25 @All the skilled women spun with their hands, and brought what they had spun, in blue and purple and scarlet material and in fine linen.

nasb@Exodus:13:26 @All the women whose heart stirred with a skill spun the goats' hair.

nasb@Exodus:13:29 @The Israelites, all the men and women, whose heart moved them to bring material for all the work, which the LORD had commanded through Moses to be done, brought a freewill offering to the LORD.

nasb@Exodus:14:4 @And all the skillful men who were performing all the work of the sanctuary came, each from the work which he was performing,

nasb@Exodus:14:8 @All the skillful men among those who were performing the work made the tabernacle with ten curtains; of fine twisted linen and blue and purple and scarlet material, with cherubim, the work of a skillful workman, Bezalel made them.

nasb@Exodus:14:9 @The length of each curtain was twenty-eight cubits and the width of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains had the same measurements.

nasb@Exodus:14:15 @The length of each curtain was thirty cubits and four cubits the width of each curtain; the eleven curtains had the same measurements.

nasb@Exodus:15:6 @He made a mercy seat of pure gold, two and a half cubits long and one and a half cubits wide.

nasb@Exodus:15:7 @He made two cherubim of gold; he made them of hammered work at the two ends of the mercy seat;

nasb@Exodus:15:8 @one cherub at the one end and one cherub at the other end; he made the cherubim of one piece with the mercy seat at the two ends.

nasb@Exodus:15:9 @The cherubim had their wings spread upward, covering the mercy seat with their wings, with their faces toward each other; the faces of the cherubim were toward the mercy seat.

nasb@Exodus:15:17 @Then he made the lampstand of pure gold. He made the lampstand of hammered work, its base and its shaft; its cups, its bulbs and its flowers were of one piece with it.

nasb@Exodus:15:22 @Their bulbs and their branches were of one piece with it; the whole of it was a single hammered work of pure gold.

nasb@Exodus:15:29 @And he made the holy anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense of spices, the work of a perfumer.

nasb@Exodus:17:1 @Moreover, from the blue and purple and scarlet material, they made finely woven garments for ministering in the holy place as well as the holy garments which were for Aaron, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

nasb@Exodus:17:3 @Then they hammered out gold sheets and cut them into threads to be woven in with the blue and the purple and the scarlet material, and the fine linen, the work of a skillful workman.

nasb@Exodus:17:5 @The skillfully woven band which was on it was like its workmanship, of the same material- of gold and of blue and purple and scarlet material, and fine twisted linen, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

nasb@Exodus:17:6 @They made the onyx stones, set in gold filigree settings; they were engraved like the engravings of a signet, according to the names of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Exodus:17:7 @And he placed them on the shoulder pieces of the ephod, as memorial stones for the sons of Israel, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

nasb@Exodus:17:10 @And they mounted four rows of stones on it. The first row was a row of ruby, topaz, and emerald;

nasb@Leviticus:6:2 @And fire came out from the presence of the LORD and consumed them, and they died before the LORD.

nasb@Leviticus:6:3 @Then Moses said to Aaron, "It is what the LORD spoke, saying, 'By those who come near Me I will be treated as holy, And before all the people I will be honored.'" So Aaron, therefore, kept silent.

nasb@Numbers:3:21 @The Levites, too, purified themselves from sin and washed their clothes; and Aaron presented them as a wave offering before the LORD. Aaron also made atonement for them to cleanse them.

nasb@Numbers:3:22 @Then after that the Levites went in to perform their service in the tent of meeting before Aaron and before his sons; just as the LORD had commanded Moses concerning the Levites, so they did to them.

nasb@Numbers:3:24" @This is what applies to the Levites- from twenty-five years old and upward they shall enter to perform service in the work of the tent of meeting.

nasb@Numbers:3:26" @They may, however, assist their brothers in the tent of meeting, to keep an obligation, but they themselves shall do no work. Thus you shall deal with the Levites concerning their obligations."

nasb@Numbers:3:9 @Thus the LORD spoke to Moses in the wilderness of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt, saying,

nasb@Numbers:3:2" @Now, let the sons of Israel observe the Passover at its appointed time.

nasb@Numbers:3:3" @On the fourteenth day of this month, at twilight, you shall observe it at its appointed time; you shall observe it according to all its statutes and according to all its ordinances."

nasb@Numbers:3:6 @But there were some men who were unclean because of the dead person, so that they could not observe Passover on that day; so they came before Moses and Aaron on that day.

nasb@Numbers:3:7 @Those men said to him, "Though we are unclean because of the dead person, why are we restrained from presenting the offering of the LORD at its appointed time among the sons of Israel?"

nasb@Numbers:3:10" @Speak to the sons of Israel, saying, 'If any one of you or of your generations becomes unclean because of a dead person, or is on a distant journey, he may, however, observe the Passover to the LORD.

nasb@Numbers:3:13 @' But the man who is clean and is not on a journey, and yet neglects to observe the Passover, that person shall then be cut off from his people, for he did not present the offering of the LORD at its appointed time. That man will bear his sin.

nasb@Numbers:3:20 @If sometimes the cloud remained a few days over the tabernacle, according to the command of the LORD they remained camped. Then according to the command of the LORD they set out.

nasb@Numbers:3:21 @If sometimes the cloud remained from evening until morning, when the cloud was lifted in the morning, they would move out; or if it remained in the daytime and at night, whenever the cloud was lifted, they would set out.

nasb@Numbers:3:2" @Make yourself two trumpets of silver, of hammered work you shall make them; and you shall use them for summoning the congregation and for having the camps set out.

nasb@Numbers:3:3" @ When both are blown, all the congregation shall gather themselves to you at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

nasb@Numbers:3:6" @When you blow an alarm the second time, the camps that are pitched on the south side shall set out; an alarm is to be blown for them to set out.

nasb@Numbers:3:9" @When you go to war in your land against the adversary who attacks you, then you shall sound an alarm with the trumpets, that you may be remembered before the LORD your God, and be saved from your enemies.

nasb@Numbers:3:13 @So they moved out for the first time according to the commandment of the LORD through Moses.

nasb@Numbers:3:17 @Then the tabernacle was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who were carrying the tabernacle, set out.

nasb@Numbers:3:19 @and Shelumiel the son of Zurishaddai over the tribal army of the sons of Simeon,

nasb@Numbers:3:25 @Then the standard of the camp of the sons of Dan, according to their armies, which formed the rear guard for all the camps, set out, with Ahiezer the son of Ammishaddai over its army,

nasb@Numbers:3:29 @Then Moses said to Hobab the son of Reuel the Midianite, Moses' father-in-law, "We are setting out to the place of which the LORD said, ' I will give it to you'; come with us and we will do you good, for the LORD has promised good concerning Israel."

nasb@Numbers:3:30 @But he said to him, " I will not come, but rather will go to my own land and relatives."

nasb@Numbers:3:35 @Then it came about when the ark set out that Moses said, " Rise up, O LORD! And let Your enemies be scattered, And let those who hate You flee before You."

nasb@Numbers:3:36 @When it came to rest, he said, " Return, O LORD, To the myriad thousands of Israel."

nasb@Numbers:4:1 @Now the people became like those who complain of adversity in the hearing of the LORD; and when the LORD heard it, His anger was kindled, and the fire of the LORD burned among them and consumed some of the outskirts of the camp.

nasb@Numbers:4:3 @So the name of that place was called Taberah, because the fire of the LORD burned among them.

nasb@Numbers:4:4 @The rabble who were among them had greedy desires; and also the sons of Israel wept again and said, " Who will give us meat to eat?

nasb@Numbers:4:5" @ We remember the fish which we used to eat free in Egypt, the cucumbers and the melons and the leeks and the onions and the garlic,

nasb@Numbers:4:11 @So Moses said to the LORD, "Why have You been so hard on Your servant? And why have I not found favor in Your sight, that You have laid the burden of all this people on me?

nasb@Numbers:4:12" @Was it I who conceived all this people? Was it I who brought them forth, that You should say to me, 'Carry them in your bosom as a nurse carries a nursing infant, to the land which You swore to their fathers'?

nasb@Numbers:4:13" @Where am I to get meat to give to all this people? For they weep before me, saying, 'Give us meat that we may eat!'

nasb@Numbers:4:14" @ I alone am not able to carry all this people, because it is too burdensome for me.

nasb@Numbers:4:15" @ So if You are going to deal thus with me, please kill me at once, if I have found favor in Your sight, and do not let me see my wretchedness."

nasb@Numbers:4:16 @The LORD therefore said to Moses, "Gather for Me seventy men from the elders of Israel, whom you know to be the elders of the people and their officers and bring them to the tent of meeting, and let them take their stand there with you.

nasb@Numbers:4:17" @ Then I will come down and speak with you there, and I will take of the Spirit who is upon you, and will put Him upon them; and they shall bear the burden of the people with you, so that you will not bear it all alone.

nasb@Numbers:4:18" @Say to the people, ' Consecrate yourselves for tomorrow, and you shall eat meat; for you have wept in the ears of the LORD, saying, "Oh that someone would give us meat to eat! For we were well-off in Egypt." Therefore the LORD will give you meat and you shall eat.

nasb@Numbers:4:20 @but a whole month, until it comes out of your nostrils and becomes loathsome to you; because you have rejected the LORD who is among you and have wept before Him, saying, "Why did we ever leave Egypt?"'"

nasb@Numbers:4:21 @But Moses said, "The people, among whom I am, are 600,000 on foot; yet You have said, 'I will give them meat, so that they may eat for a whole month.'

nasb@Numbers:4:23 @The LORD said to Moses, "Is the LORD'S power limited? Now you shall see whether My word will come true for you or not."

nasb@Numbers:4:24 @So Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD. Also, he gathered seventy men of the elders of the people, and stationed them around the tent.

nasb@Numbers:4:25 @Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to him; and He took of the Spirit who was upon him and placed Him upon the seventy elders. And when the Spirit rested upon them, they prophesied. But they did not do it again.

nasb@Numbers:4:26 @But two men had remained in the camp; the name of one was Eldad and the name of the other Medad. And the Spirit rested upon them (now they were among those who had been registered, but had not gone out to the tent), and they prophesied in the camp.

nasb@Numbers:4:27 @So a young man ran and told Moses and said, "Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp."

nasb@Numbers:4:32 @The people spent all day and all night and all the next day, and gathered the quail (he who gathered least gathered ten homers) and they spread them out for themselves all around the camp.

nasb@Numbers:4:33 @While the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of the LORD was kindled against the people, and the LORD struck the people with a very severe plague.

nasb@Numbers:4:34 @So the name of that place was called Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had been greedy.

nasb@Numbers:5:4 @Suddenly the LORD said to Moses and Aaron and to Miriam, "You three come out to the tent of meeting." So the three of them came out.

nasb@Numbers:5:5 @Then the LORD came down in a pillar of cloud and stood at the doorway of the tent, and He called Aaron and Miriam. When they had both come forward,

nasb@Numbers:5:12" @Oh, do not let her be like one dead, whose flesh is half eaten away when he comes from his mother's womb!"

nasb@Numbers:5:14 @But the LORD said to Moses, "If her father had but spit in her face, would she not bear her shame for seven days? Let her be shut up for seven days outside the camp, and afterward she may be received again."

nasb@Numbers:5:2" @ Send out for yourself men so that they may spy out the land of Canaan, which I am going to give to the sons of Israel; you shall send a man from each of their fathers' tribes, every one a leader among them."

nasb@Numbers:5:3 @So Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran at the command of the LORD, all of them men who were heads of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:5:4 @These then were their names- from the tribe of Reuben, Shammua the son of Zaccur;

nasb@Numbers:5:5 @from the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat the son of Hori;

nasb@Numbers:5:16 @These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to spy out the land; but Moses called Hoshea the son of Nun, Joshua.

nasb@Numbers:5:20" @ How is the land, is it fat or lean? Are there trees in it or not? Make an effort then to get some of the fruit of the land." Now the time was the time of the first ripe grapes.

nasb@Numbers:5:22 @When they had gone up into the Negev, they came to Hebron where Ahiman, Sheshai and Talmai, the descendants of Anak were. (Now Hebron was built seven years before Zoan in Egypt.)

nasb@Numbers:5:23 @Then they came to the valley of Eshcol and from there cut down a branch with a single cluster of grapes; and they carried it on a pole between two men, with some of the pomegranates and the figs.

nasb@Numbers:5:26 @they proceeded to come to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation of the sons of Israel in the wilderness of Paran, at Kadesh; and they brought back word to them and to all the congregation and showed them the fruit of the land.

nasb@Numbers:5:30 @Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, "We should by all means go up and take possession of it, for we will surely overcome it."

nasb@Numbers:5:31 @But the men who had gone up with him said, " We are not able to go up against the people, for they are too strong for us."

nasb@Numbers:5:32 @So they gave out to the sons of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, "The land through which we have gone, in spying it out, is a land that devours its inhabitants; and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great size.

nasb@Numbers:5:33" @There also we saw the Nephilim (the sons of Anak are part of the Nephilim); and we became like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight."

nasb@Numbers:6:3" @Why is the LORD bringing us into this land, to fall by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will become plunder; would it not be better for us to return to Egypt?"

nasb@Numbers:6:10 @But all the congregation said to stone them with stones. Then the glory of the LORD appeared in the tent of meeting to all the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:6:11 @The LORD said to Moses, "How long will this people spurn Me? And how long will they not believe in Me, despite all the signs which I have performed in their midst?

nasb@Numbers:6:15" @Now if You slay this people as one man, then the nations who have heard of Your fame will say,

nasb@Numbers:6:37 @even those men who brought out the very bad report of the land died by a plague before the LORD.

nasb@Numbers:6:38 @But Joshua the son of Nun and Caleb the son of Jephunneh remained alive out of those men who went to spy out the land.

nasb@Numbers:7:2 @and they rose up before Moses, together with some of the sons of Israel, two hundred and fifty leaders of the congregation, chosen in the assembly, men of renown.

nasb@Numbers:7:12 @Then Moses sent a summons to Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; but they said, "We will not come up.

nasb@Numbers:7:14" @Indeed, you have not brought us into a land flowing with milk and honey, nor have you given us an inheritance of fields and vineyards. Would you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up!"

nasb@Numbers:7:15 @Then Moses became very angry and said to the LORD, " Do not regard their offering! I have not taken a single donkey from them, nor have I done harm to any of them."

nasb@Numbers:7:18 @So they each took his own censer and put fire on it, and laid incense on it; and they stood at the doorway of the tent of meeting, with Moses and Aaron.

nasb@Numbers:7:35 @Fire also came forth from the LORD and consumed the two hundred and fifty men who were offering the incense.

nasb@Numbers:7:38" @As for the censers of these men who have sinned at the cost of their lives, let them be made into hammered sheets for a plating of the altar, since they did present them before the LORD and they are holy; and they shall be for a sign to the sons of Israel."

nasb@Numbers:7:43 @Then Moses and Aaron came to the front of the tent of meeting,

nasb@Numbers:7:45" @ Get away from among this congregation, that I may consume them instantly." Then they fell on their faces.

nasb@Numbers:7:46 @Moses said to Aaron, "Take your censer and put in it fire from the altar, and lay incense on it; then bring it quickly to the congregation and make atonement for them, for wrath has gone forth from the LORD, the plague has begun!"

nasb@Numbers:7:47 @Then Aaron took it as Moses had spoken, and ran into the midst of the assembly, for behold, the plague had begun among the people. So he put on the incense and made atonement for the people.

nasb@Numbers:7:50 @Then Aaron returned to Moses at the doorway of the tent of meeting, for the plague had been checked.

nasb@Numbers:7:2" @Speak to the sons of Israel, and get from them a rod for each father's household- twelve rods, from all their leaders according to their fathers' households. You shall write each name on his rod,

nasb@Numbers:7:3 @and write Aaron's name on the rod of Levi; for there is one rod for the head of each of their fathers' households.

nasb@Numbers:7:4" @You shall then deposit them in the tent of meeting in front of the testimony, where I meet with you.

nasb@Numbers:7:5" @It will come about that the rod of the man whom I choose will sprout. Thus I will lessen from upon Myself the grumblings of the sons of Israel, who are grumbling against you."

nasb@Numbers:7:10 @But the LORD said to Moses, "Put back the rod of Aaron before the testimony to be kept as a sign against the rebels, that you may put an end to their grumblings against Me, so that they will not die."

nasb@Numbers:7:13" @ Everyone who comes near, who comes near to the tabernacle of the LORD, must die. Are we to perish completelyNULL"

nasb@Numbers:7:3" @And they shall thus attend to your obligation and the obligation of all the tent, but they shall not come near to the furnishings of the sanctuary and the altar, or both they and you will die.

nasb@Numbers:7:4" @They shall be joined with you and attend to the obligations of the tent of meeting, for all the service of the tent; but an outsider may not come near you.

nasb@Numbers:7:6" @Behold, I Myself have taken your fellow Levites from among the sons of Israel; they are a gift to you, dedicated to the LORD, to perform the service for the tent of meeting.

nasb@Numbers:7:7" @But you and your sons with you shall attend to your priesthood for everything concerning the altar and inside the veil, and you are to perform service. I am giving you the priesthood as a bestowed service, but the outsider who comes near shall be put to death."

nasb@Numbers:7:8 @Then the LORD spoke to Aaron, "Now behold, I Myself have given you charge of My offerings, even all the holy gifts of the sons of Israel I have given them to you as a portion and to your sons as a perpetual allotment.

nasb@Numbers:7:9" @This shall be yours from the most holy gifts reserved from the fire; every offering of theirs, even every grain offering and every sin offering and every guilt offering, which they shall render to Me, shall be most holy for you and for your sons.

nasb@Numbers:7:11" @This also is yours, the offering of their gift, even all the wave offerings of the sons of Israel; I have given them to you and to your sons and daughters with you as a perpetual allotment. Everyone of your household who is clean may eat it.

nasb@Numbers:7:19" @ All the offerings of the holy gifts, which the sons of Israel offer to the LORD, I have given to you and your sons and your daughters with you, as a perpetual allotment. It is an everlasting covenant of salt before the LORD to you and your descendants with you."

nasb@Numbers:7:21" @To the sons of Levi, behold, I have given all the tithe in Israel for an inheritance, in return for their service which they perform, the service of the tent of meeting.

nasb@Numbers:7:22" @ The sons of Israel shall not come near the tent of meeting again, or they will bear sin and die.

nasb@Numbers:7:23" @Only the Levites shall perform the service of the tent of meeting, and they shall bear their iniquity; it shall be a perpetual statute throughout your generations, and among the sons of Israel they shall have no inheritance.

nasb@Numbers:7:31 @'You may eat it anywhere, you and your households, for it is your compensation in return for your service in the tent of meeting.

nasb@Numbers:8:1 @Then the sons of Israel, the whole congregation, came to the wilderness of Zin in the first month; and the people stayed at Kadesh. Now Miriam died there and was buried there.

nasb@Numbers:8:5" @Why have you made us come up from Egypt, to bring us in to this wretched place? It is not a place of grain or figs or vines or pomegranates, nor is there water to drink."

nasb@Numbers:8:6 @Then Moses and Aaron came in from the presence of the assembly to the doorway of the tent of meeting and fell on their faces. Then the glory of the LORD appeared to them;

nasb@Numbers:8:11 @Then Moses lifted up his hand and struck the rock twice with his rod; and water came forth abundantly, and the congregation and their beasts drank.

nasb@Numbers:8:12 @But the LORD said to Moses and Aaron, " Because you have not believed Me, to treat Me as holy in the sight of the sons of Israel, therefore you shall not bring this assembly into the land which I have given them."

nasb@Numbers:8:13 @Those were the waters of Meribah, because the sons of Israel contended with the LORD, and He proved Himself holy among them.

nasb@Numbers:8:14 @From Kadesh Moses then sent messengers to the king of Edom- "Thus your brother Israel has said, 'You know all the hardship that has befallen us;

nasb@Numbers:8:15 @that our fathers went down to Egypt, and we stayed in Egypt a long time, and the Egyptians treated us and our fathers badly.

nasb@Numbers:8:18 @Edom, however, said to him, "You shall not pass through us, or I will come out with the sword against you."

nasb@Numbers:8:19 @Again, the sons of Israel said to him, "We will go up by the highway, and if I and my livestock do drink any of your water, then I will pay its price. Let me only pass through on my feet, nothing else."

nasb@Numbers:8:20 @But he said, " You shall not pass through." And Edom came out against him with a heavy force and with a strong hand.

nasb@Numbers:8:22 @Now when they set out from Kadesh, the sons of Israel, the whole congregation, came to Mount Hor.

nasb@Numbers:8:24" @Aaron will be gathered to his people; for he shall not enter the land which I have given to the sons of Israel, because you rebelled against My command at the waters of Meribah.

nasb@Numbers:8:26 @and strip Aaron of his garments and put them on his son Eleazar. So Aaron will be gathered to his people, and will die there."

nasb@Numbers:8:28 @After Moses had stripped Aaron of his garments and put them on his son Eleazar, Aaron died there on the mountain top. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

nasb@Numbers:9:1 @When the Canaanite, the king of Arad, who lived in the Negev, heard that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, then he fought against Israel and took some of them captive.

nasb@Numbers:9:3 @The LORD heard the voice of Israel and delivered up the Canaanites; then they utterly destroyed them and their cities. Thus the name of the place was called Hormah.

nasb@Numbers:9:4 @Then they set out from Mount Hor by the way of the Red Sea, to go around the land of Edom; and the people became impatient because of the journey.

nasb@Numbers:9:7 @So the people came to Moses and said, "We have sinned, because we have spoken against the LORD and you; intercede with the LORD, that He may remove the serpents from us." And Moses interceded for the people.

nasb@Numbers:9:8 @Then the LORD said to Moses, "Make a fiery serpent, and set it on a standard; and it shall come about, that everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, he will live."

nasb@Numbers:9:9 @And Moses made a bronze serpent and set it on the standard; and it came about, that if a serpent bit any man, when he looked to the bronze serpent, he lived.

nasb@Numbers:9:13 @From there they journeyed and camped on the other side of the Arnon, which is in the wilderness that comes out of the border of the Amorites, for the Arnon is the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites.

nasb@Numbers:9:21 @Then Israel sent messengers to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,

nasb@Numbers:9:22" @ Let me pass through your land. We will not turn off into field or vineyard; we will not drink water from wells. We will go by the king's highway until we have passed through your border."

nasb@Numbers:9:23 @But Sihon would not permit Israel to pass through his border. So Sihon gathered all his people and went out against Israel in the wilderness, and came to Jahaz and fought against Israel.

nasb@Numbers:9:26 @For Heshbon was the city of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who had fought against the former king of Moab and had taken all his land out of his hand, as far as the Arnon.

nasb@Numbers:9:27 @Therefore those who use proverbs say, "Come to Heshbon! Let it be built! So let the city of Sihon be established.

nasb@Numbers:9:28" @ For a fire went forth from Heshbon, A flame from the town of Sihon; It devoured Ar of Moab, The dominant heights of the Arnon.

nasb@Numbers:9:30" @But we have cast them down, Heshbon is ruined as far as Dibon, Then we have laid waste even to Nophah, Which reaches to Medeba."

nasb@Numbers:10:3 @So Moab was in great fear because of the people, for they were numerous; and Moab was in dread of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Numbers:10:4 @Moab said to the elders of Midian, "Now this horde will lick up all that is around us, as the ox licks up the grass of the field." And Balak the son of Zippor was king of Moab at that time.

nasb@Numbers:10:5 @So he sent messengers to Balaam the son of Beor, at Pethor, which is near the River, in the land of the sons of his people, to call him, saying, "Behold, a people came out of Egypt; behold, they cover the surface of the land, and they are living opposite me.

nasb@Numbers:10:6" @ Now, therefore, please come, curse this people for me since they are too mighty for me; perhaps I may be able to defeat them and drive them out of the land. For I know that he whom you bless is blessed, and he whom you curse is cursed."

nasb@Numbers:10:7 @So the elders of Moab and the elders of Midian departed with the fees for divination in their hand; and they came to Balaam and repeated Balak's words to him.

nasb@Numbers:10:8 @He said to them, "Spend the night here, and I will bring word back to you as the LORD may speak to me." And the leaders of Moab stayed with Balaam.

nasb@Numbers:10:9 @Then God came to Balaam and said, "Who are these men with you?"

nasb@Numbers:10:10 @Balaam said to God, "Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent word to me,

nasb@Numbers:10:11 @'Behold, there is a people who came out of Egypt and they cover the surface of the land; now come, curse them for me; perhaps I may be able to fight against them and drive them out.'"

nasb@Numbers:10:13 @So Balaam arose in the morning and said to Balak's leaders, "Go back to your land, for the LORD has refused to let me go with you."

nasb@Numbers:10:14 @The leaders of Moab arose and went to Balak and said, "Balaam refused to come with us."

nasb@Numbers:10:15 @Then Balak again sent leaders, more numerous and more distinguished than the former.

nasb@Numbers:10:16 @They came to Balaam and said to him, "Thus says Balak the son of Zippor, 'Let nothing, I beg you, hinder you from coming to me;

nasb@Numbers:10:17 @for I will indeed honor you richly, and I will do whatever you say to me. Please come then, curse this people for me.'"

nasb@Numbers:10:18 @Balaam replied to the servants of Balak, " Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything, either small or great, contrary to the command of the LORD my God.

nasb@Numbers:10:19" @Now please, you also stay here tonight, and I will find out what else the LORD will speak to me."

nasb@Numbers:10:20 @God came to Balaam at night and said to him, "If the men have come to call you, rise up and go with them; but only the word which I speak to you shall you do."

nasb@Numbers:10:28 @And the LORD opened the mouth of the donkey, and she said to Balaam, "What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?"

nasb@Numbers:10:29 @Then Balaam said to the donkey, "Because you have made a mockery of me! If there had been a sword in my hand, I would have killed you by now."

nasb@Numbers:10:30 @The donkey said to Balaam, "Am I not your donkey on which you have ridden all your life to this day? Have I ever been accustomed to do so to you?" And he said, "No."

nasb@Numbers:10:32 @The angel of the LORD said to him, "Why have you struck your donkey these three times? Behold, I have come out as an adversary, because your way was contrary to me.

nasb@Numbers:10:33" @But the donkey saw me and turned aside from me these three times. If she had not turned aside from me, I would surely have killed you just now, and let her live."

nasb@Numbers:10:34 @Balaam said to the angel of the LORD, " I have sinned, for I did not know that you were standing in the way against me. Now then, if it is displeasing to you, I will turn back."

nasb@Numbers:10:35 @But the angel of the LORD said to Balaam, "Go with the men, but you shall speak only the word which I tell you." So Balaam went along with the leaders of Balak.

nasb@Numbers:10:36 @When Balak heard that Balaam was coming, he went out to meet him at the city of Moab, which is on the Arnon border, at the extreme end of the border.

nasb@Numbers:10:37 @Then Balak said to Balaam, "Did I not urgently send to you to call you? Why did you not come to me? Am I really unable to honor you?"

nasb@Numbers:10:38 @So Balaam said to Balak, "Behold, I have come now to you! Am I able to speak anything at all? The word that God puts in my mouth, that I shall speak."

nasb@Numbers:10:39 @And Balaam went with Balak, and they came to Kiriath-huzoth.

nasb@Numbers:10:40 @Balak sacrificed oxen and sheep, and sent some to Balaam and the leaders who were with him.

nasb@Numbers:10:41 @Then it came about in the morning that Balak took Balaam and brought him up to the high places of Baal, and he saw from there a portion of the people.

nasb@Numbers:11:1 @Then Balaam said to Balak, "Build seven altars for me here, and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here."

nasb@Numbers:11:3 @Then Balaam said to Balak, "Stand beside your burnt offering, and I will go; perhaps the LORD will come to meet me, and whatever He shows me I will tell you." So he went to a bare hill.

nasb@Numbers:11:4 @Now God met Balaam, and he said to Him, "I have set up the seven altars, and I have offered up a bull and a ram on each altar."

nasb@Numbers:11:7 @He took up his discourse and said, "From Aram Balak has brought me, Moab's king from the mountains of the East, ' Come curse Jacob for me, And come, denounce Israel!'

nasb@Numbers:11:10" @ Who can count the dust of Jacob, Or number the fourth part of Israel? Let me die the death of the upright, And let my end be like his!"

nasb@Numbers:11:11 @Then Balak said to Balaam, "What have you done to me? I took you to curse my enemies, but behold, you have actually blessed them!"

nasb@Numbers:11:13 @Then Balak said to him, "Please come with me to another place from where you may see them, although you will only see the extreme end of them and will not see all of them; and curse them for me from there."

nasb@Numbers:11:15 @And he said to Balak, "Stand here beside your burnt offering while I myself meet the LORD over there."

nasb@Numbers:11:16 @Then the LORD met Balaam and put a word in his mouth and said, "Return to Balak, and thus you shall speak."

nasb@Numbers:11:17 @He came to him, and behold, he was standing beside his burnt offering, and the leaders of Moab with him. And Balak said to him, "What has the LORD spoken?"

nasb@Numbers:11:18 @Then he took up his discourse and said, "Arise, O Balak, and hear; Give ear to me, O son of Zippor!

nasb@Numbers:11:23" @ For there is no omen against Jacob, Nor is there any divination against Israel; At the proper time it shall be said to Jacob And to Israel, what God has done!

nasb@Numbers:11:27 @Then Balak said to Balaam, "Please come, I will take you to another place; perhaps it will be agreeable with God that you curse them for me from there."

nasb@Numbers:11:29 @Balaam said to Balak, "Build seven altars for me here and prepare seven bulls and seven rams for me here."

nasb@Numbers:12:1 @When Balaam saw that it pleased the LORD to bless Israel, he did not go as at other times to seek omens but he set his face toward the wilderness.

nasb@Numbers:12:2 @And Balaam lifted up his eyes and saw Israel camping tribe by tribe; and the Spirit of God came upon him.

nasb@Numbers:12:10 @Then Balak's anger burned against Balaam, and he struck his hands together; and Balak said to Balaam, "I called you to curse my enemies, but behold, you have persisted in blessing them these three times!

nasb@Numbers:12:12 @Balaam said to Balak, " Did I not tell your messengers whom you had sent to me, saying,

nasb@Numbers:12:13 @'Though Balak were to give me his house full of silver and gold, I could not do anything contrary to the command of the LORD, either good or bad, of my own accord. What the LORD speaks, that I will speak'?

nasb@Numbers:12:17" @I see him, but not now; I behold him, but not near; A star shall come forth from Jacob, A scepter shall rise from Israel, And shall crush through the forehead of Moab, And tear down all the sons of Sheth.

nasb@Numbers:12:24" @But ships shall come from the coast of Kittim, And they shall afflict Asshur and will afflict Eber; So they also will come to destruction."

nasb@Numbers:13:5 @So Moses said to the judges of Israel, "Each of you slay his men who have joined themselves to Baal of Peor."

nasb@Numbers:13:6 @Then behold, one of the sons of Israel came and brought to his relatives a Midianite woman, in the sight of Moses and in the sight of all the congregation of the sons of Israel, while they were weeping at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

nasb@Numbers:13:13 @and it shall be for him and his descendants after him, a covenant of a perpetual priesthood, because he was jealous for his God and made atonement for the sons of Israel.'"

nasb@Numbers:13:14 @Now the name of the slain man of Israel who was slain with the Midianite woman, was Zimri the son of Salu, a leader of a father's household among the Simeonites.

nasb@Numbers:13:15 @The name of the Midianite woman who was slain was Cozbi the daughter of Zur, who was head of the people of a father's household in Midian.

nasb@Deuteronomy:11:63" @It shall come about that as the LORD delighted over you to prosper you, and multiply you, so the LORD will delight over you to make you perish and destroy you; and you will be torn from the land where you are entering to possess it.

nasb@Deuteronomy:12:7" @ When you reached this place, Sihon the king of Heshbon and Og the king of Bashan came out to meet us for battle, but we defeated them;

nasb@Deuteronomy:12:25" @Then men will say, ' Because they forsook the covenant of the LORD, the God of their fathers, which He made with them when He brought them out of the land of Egypt.

nasb@Deuteronomy:13:1" @So it shall be when all of these things have come upon you, the blessing and the curse which I have set before you, and you call them to mind in all nations where the LORD your God has banished you,

nasb@Deuteronomy:13:8" @And you shall again obey the LORD, and observe all His commandments which I command you today.

nasb@Deuteronomy:13:10 @if you obey the LORD your God to keep His commandments and His statutes which are written in this book of the law, if you turn to the LORD your God with all your heart and soul.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:5" @ The LORD will deliver them up before you, and you shall do to them according to all the commandments which I have commanded you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:10 @Then Moses commanded them, saying, "At the end of every seven years, at the time of the year of remission of debts, at the Feast of Booths,

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:11 @when all Israel comes to appear before the LORD your God at the place which He will choose, you shall read this law in front of all Israel in their hearing.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:14 @Then the LORD said to Moses, "Behold, the time for you to die is near; call Joshua, and present yourselves at the tent of meeting, that I may commission him." So Moses and Joshua went and presented themselves at the tent of meeting.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:16 @The LORD said to Moses, "Behold, you are about to lie down with your fathers; and this people will arise and play the harlot with the strange gods of the land, into the midst of which they are going, and will forsake Me and break My covenant which I have made with them.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:17" @ Then My anger will be kindled against them in that day, and I will forsake them and hide My face from them, and they will be consumed, and many evils and troubles will come upon them; so that they will say in that day, ' Is it not because our God is not among us that these evils have come upon us?'

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:19" @Now therefore, write this song for yourselves, and teach it to the sons of Israel; put it on their lips, so that this song may be a witness for Me against the sons of Israel.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:20" @ For when I bring them into the land flowing with milk and honey, which I swore to their fathers, and they have eaten and are satisfied and become prosperous, then they will turn to other gods and serve them, and spurn Me and break My covenant.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:21" @Then it shall come about, when many evils and troubles have come upon them, that this song will testify before them as a witness (for it shall not be forgotten from the lips of their descendants); for I know their intent which they are developing today, before I have brought them into the land which I swore."

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:22 @So Moses wrote this song the same day, and taught it to the sons of Israel.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:24 @It came about, when Moses finished writing the words of this law in a book until they were complete,

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:28" @Assemble to me all the elders of your tribes and your officers, that I may speak these words in their hearing and call the heavens and the earth to witness against them.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:7" @Remember the days of old, Consider the years of all generations. Ask your father, and he will inform you, Your elders, and they will tell you.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:9" @ For the LORD'S portion is His people; Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:17" @ They sacrificed to demons who were not God, To gods whom they have not known, New gods who came lately, Whom your fathers did not dread.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:21 @' They have made Me jealous with what is not God; They have provoked Me to anger with their idols. So I will make them jealous with those who are not a people; I will provoke them to anger with a foolish nation,

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:22 @For a fire is kindled in My anger, And burns to the lowest part of Sheol, And consumes the earth with its yield, And sets on fire the foundations of the mountains.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:24 @' They will be wasted by famine, and consumed by plague And bitter destruction; And the teeth of beasts I will send upon them, With the venom of crawling things of the dust.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:41 @If I sharpen My flashing sword, And My hand takes hold on justice, I will render vengeance on My adversaries, And I will repay those who hate Me.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:44 @Then Moses came and spoke all the words of this song in the hearing of the people, he, with Joshua the son of Nun.

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:48 @The LORD spoke to Moses that very same day, saying,

nasb@Deuteronomy:14:51 @because you broke faith with Me in the midst of the sons of Israel at the waters of Meribah-kadesh, in the wilderness of Zin, because you did not treat Me as holy in the midst of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Deuteronomy:15:2 @He said, " The LORD came from Sinai, And dawned on them from Seir; He shone forth from Mount Paran, And He came from the midst of ten thousand holy ones; At His right hand there was flashing lightning for them.

nasb@Deuteronomy:15:6" @ May Reuben live and not die, Nor his men be few."

nasb@Deuteronomy:15:8 @Of Levi he said, "Let Your Thummim and Your Urim belong to Your godly man, Whom You proved at Massah, With whom You contended at the waters of Meribah;

nasb@Deuteronomy:15:16 @And with the choice things of the earth and its fullness, And the favor of Him who dwelt in the bush. Let it come to the head of Joseph, And to the crown of the head of the one distinguished among his brothers.

nasb@Deuteronomy:15:21" @ Then he provided the first part for himself, For there the ruler's portion was reserved; And he came with the leaders of the people; He executed the justice of the LORD, And His ordinances with Israel."

nasb@Deuteronomy:16:8 @So the sons of Israel wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; then the days of weeping and mourning for Moses came to an end.

nasb@Deuteronomy:16:10 @Since that time no prophet has risen in Israel like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face,

nasb@Deuteronomy:16:12 @and for all the mighty power and for all the great terror which Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.

nasb@Joshua:0:1 @Now it came about after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, that the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' servant, saying,

nasb@Joshua:0:8" @ This book of the law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it; for then you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have success.

nasb@Joshua:0:13" @Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying, ' The LORD your God gives you rest and will give you this land.'

nasb@Joshua:1:1 @Then Joshua the son of Nun sent two men as spies secretly from Shittim, saying, "Go, view the land, especially Jericho." So they went and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lodged there.

nasb@Joshua:1:2 @It was told the king of Jericho, saying, "Behold, men from the sons of Israel have come here tonight to search out the land."

nasb@Joshua:1:3 @And the king of Jericho sent word to Rahab, saying, "Bring out the men who have come to you, who have entered your house, for they have come to search out all the land."

nasb@Joshua:1:4 @But the woman had taken the two men and hidden them, and she said, "Yes, the men came to me, but I did not know where they were from.

nasb@Joshua:1:5" @It came about when it was time to shut the gate at dark, that the men went out; I do not know where the men went. Pursue them quickly, for you will overtake them."

nasb@Joshua:1:7 @So the men pursued them on the road to the Jordan to the fords; and as soon as those who were pursuing them had gone out, they shut the gate.

nasb@Joshua:1:8 @Now before they lay down, she came up to them on the roof,

nasb@Joshua:1:9 @and said to the men, " I know that the LORD has given you the land, and that the terror of you has fallen on us, and that all the inhabitants of the land have melted away before you.

nasb@Joshua:1:10" @ For we have heard how the LORD dried up the water of the Red Sea before you when you came out of Egypt, and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you utterly destroyed.

nasb@Joshua:1:11" @When we heard it, our hearts melted and no courage remained in any man any longer because of you; for the LORD your God, He is God in heaven above and on earth beneath.

nasb@Joshua:1:12" @Now therefore, please swear to me by the LORD, since I have dealt kindly with you, that you also will deal kindly with my father's household, and give me a pledge of truth,

nasb@Joshua:1:14 @So the men said to her, "Our life for yours if you do not tell this business of ours; and it shall come about when the LORD gives us the land that we will deal kindly and faithfully with you."

nasb@Joshua:1:17 @The men said to her, " We shall be free from this oath to you which you have made us swear,

nasb@Joshua:1:18 @unless, when we come into the land, you tie this cord of scarlet thread in the window through which you let us down, and gather to yourself into the house your father and your mother and your brothers and all your father's household.

nasb@Joshua:1:19" @It shall come about that anyone who goes out of the doors of your house into the street, his blood shall be on his own head, and we shall be free; but anyone who is with you in the house, his blood shall be on our head if a hand is laid on him.

nasb@Joshua:1:22 @They departed and came to the hill country, and remained there for three days until the pursuers returned. Now the pursuers had sought them all along the road, but had not found them.

nasb@Joshua:1:23 @Then the two men returned and came down from the hill country and crossed over and came to Joshua the son of Nun, and they related to him all that had happened to them.

nasb@Joshua:1:24 @They said to Joshua, "Surely the LORD has given all the land into our hands; moreover, all the inhabitants of the land have melted away before us."

nasb@Joshua:2:1 @Then Joshua rose early in the morning; and he and all the sons of Israel set out from Shittim and came to the Jordan, and they lodged there before they crossed.

nasb@Joshua:2:4" @However, there shall be between you and it a distance of about 2,000 cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way by which you shall go, for you have not passed this way before."

nasb@Joshua:2:8" @You shall, moreover, command the priests who are carrying the ark of the covenant, saying, 'When you come to the edge of the waters of the Jordan, you shall stand still in the Jordan.'"

nasb@Joshua:2:9 @Then Joshua said to the sons of Israel, "Come here, and hear the words of the LORD your God."

nasb@Joshua:2:12" @Now then, take for yourselves twelve men from the tribes of Israel, one man for each tribe.

nasb@Joshua:2:13" @It shall come about when the soles of the feet of the priests who carry the ark of the LORD, the Lord of all the earth, rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan will be cut off, and the waters which are flowing down from above will stand in one heap."

nasb@Joshua:2:15 @and when those who carried the ark came into the Jordan, and the feet of the priests carrying the ark were dipped in the edge of the water (for the Jordan overflows all its banks all the days of harvest),

nasb@Joshua:2:2" @ Take for yourselves twelve men from the people, one man from each tribe,

nasb@Joshua:2:4 @So Joshua called the twelve men whom he had appointed from the sons of Israel, one man from each tribe;

nasb@Joshua:2:6" @Let this be a sign among you, so that when your children ask later, saying, 'What do these stones mean to you?'

nasb@Joshua:2:7 @then you shall say to them, 'Because the waters of the Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of the LORD; when it crossed the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan were cut off.' So these stones shall become a memorial to the sons of Israel forever."

nasb@Joshua:2:16" @Command the priests who carry the ark of the testimony that they come up from the Jordan."

nasb@Joshua:2:17 @So Joshua commanded the priests, saying, "Come up from the Jordan."

nasb@Joshua:2:18 @It came about when the priests who carried the ark of the covenant of the LORD had come up from the middle of the Jordan, and the soles of the priests' feet were lifted up to the dry ground, that the waters of the Jordan returned to their place, and went over all its banks as before.

nasb@Joshua:2:19 @Now the people came up from the Jordan on the tenth of the first month and camped at Gilgal on the eastern edge of Jericho.

nasb@Joshua:2:21 @He said to the sons of Israel, "When your children ask their fathers in time to come, saying, 'What are these stones?'

nasb@Joshua:3:1 @Now it came about when all the kings of the Amorites who were beyond the Jordan to the west, and all the kings of the Canaanites who were by the sea, heard how the LORD had dried up the waters of the Jordan before the sons of Israel until they had crossed, that their hearts melted, and there was no spirit in them any longer because of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:3:2 @At that time the LORD said to Joshua, "Make for yourself flint knives and circumcise again the sons of Israel the second time."

nasb@Joshua:3:4 @This is the reason why Joshua circumcised them- all the people who came out of Egypt who were males, all the men of war, died in the wilderness along the way after they came out of Egypt.

nasb@Joshua:3:5 @For all the people who came out were circumcised, but all the people who were born in the wilderness along the way as they came out of Egypt had not been circumcised.

nasb@Joshua:3:6 @For the sons of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, until all the nation, that is, the men of war who came out of Egypt, perished because they did not listen to the voice of the LORD, to whom the LORD had sworn that He would not let them see the land which the LORD had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

nasb@Joshua:3:9 @Then the LORD said to Joshua, "Today I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you." So the name of that place is called Gilgal to this day.

nasb@Joshua:3:11 @On the day after the Passover, on that very day, they ate some of the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and parched grain.

nasb@Joshua:3:12 @The manna ceased on the day after they had eaten some of the produce of the land, so that the sons of Israel no longer had manna, but they ate some of the yield of the land of Canaan during that year.

nasb@Joshua:3:13 @Now it came about when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and behold, a man was standing opposite him with his sword drawn in his hand, and Joshua went to him and said to him, "Are you for us or for our adversaries?"

nasb@Joshua:3:14 @He said, "No; rather I indeed come now as captain of the host of the LORD." And Joshua fell on his face to the earth, and bowed down, and said to him, "What has my lord to say to his servant?"

nasb@Joshua:4:1 @Now Jericho was tightly shut because of the sons of Israel; no one went out and no one came in.

nasb@Joshua:4:3" @You shall march around the city, all the men of war circling the city once. You shall do so for six days.

nasb@Joshua:4:4" @Also seven priests shall carry seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark; then on the seventh day you shall march around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow the trumpets.

nasb@Joshua:4:7 @Then he said to the people, "Go forward, and march around the city, and let the armed men go on before the ark of the LORD."

nasb@Joshua:4:9 @The armed men went before the priests who blew the trumpets, and the rear guard came after the ark, while they continued to blow the trumpets.

nasb@Joshua:4:11 @So he had the ark of the LORD taken around the city, circling it once; then they came into the camp and spent the night in the camp.

nasb@Joshua:4:13 @The seven priests carrying the seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark of the LORD went on continually, and blew the trumpets; and the armed men went before them and the rear guard came after the ark of the LORD, while they continued to blow the trumpets.

nasb@Joshua:4:15 @Then on the seventh day they rose early at the dawning of the day and marched around the city in the same manner seven times; only on that day they marched around the city seven times.

nasb@Joshua:4:16 @At the seventh time, when the priests blew the trumpets, Joshua said to the people, " Shout! For the LORD has given you the city.

nasb@Joshua:4:17" @The city shall be under the ban, it and all that is in it belongs to the LORD; only Rahab the harlot and all who are with her in the house shall live, because she hid the messengers whom we sent.

nasb@Joshua:4:18" @But as for you, only keep yourselves from the things under the ban, so that you do not covet them and take some of the things under the ban, and make the camp of Israel accursed and bring trouble on it.

nasb@Joshua:4:22 @Joshua said to the two men who had spied out the land, " Go into the harlot's house and bring the woman and all she has out of there, as you have sworn to her."

nasb@Joshua:4:23 @So the young men who were spies went in and brought out Rahab and her father and her mother and her brothers and all she had; they also brought out all her relatives and placed them outside the camp of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:4:25 @However, Rahab the harlot and her father's household and all she had, Joshua spared; and she has lived in the midst of Israel to this day, for she hid the messengers whom Joshua sent to spy out Jericho.

nasb@Joshua:4:26 @Then Joshua made them take an oath at that time, saying, " Cursed before the LORD is the man who rises up and builds this city Jericho; with the loss of his firstborn he shall lay its foundation, and with the loss of his youngest son he shall set up its gates."

nasb@Joshua:4:27 @So the LORD was with Joshua, and his fame was in all the land.

nasb@Joshua:5:1 @But the sons of Israel acted unfaithfully in regard to the things under the ban, for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, from the tribe of Judah, took some of the things under the ban, therefore the anger of the LORD burned against the sons of Israel.

nasb@Joshua:5:2 @Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is near Beth-aven, east of Bethel, and said to them, "Go up and spy out the land." So the men went up and spied out Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:3 @They returned to Joshua and said to him, "Do not let all the people go up; only about two or three thousand men need go up to Ai; do not make all the people toil up there, for they are few."

nasb@Joshua:5:4 @So about three thousand men from the people went up there, but they fled from the men of Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:5 @The men of Ai struck down about thirty-six of their men, and pursued them from the gate as far as Shebarim and struck them down on the descent, so the hearts of the people melted and became as water.

nasb@Joshua:5:9" @ For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the land will hear of it, and they will surround us and cut off our name from the earth. And what will You do for Your great name?"

nasb@Joshua:5:11" @Israel has sinned, and they have also transgressed My covenant which I commanded them. And they have even taken some of the things under the ban and have both stolen and deceived. Moreover, they have also put them among their own things.

nasb@Joshua:5:12" @Therefore the sons of Israel cannot stand before their enemies; they turn their backs before their enemies, for they have become accursed. I will not be with you anymore unless you destroy the things under the ban from your midst.

nasb@Joshua:5:14 @'In the morning then you shall come near by your tribes. And it shall be that the tribe which the LORD takes by lot shall come near by families, and the family which the LORD takes shall come near by households, and the household which the LORD takes shall come near man by man.

nasb@Joshua:5:19 @Then Joshua said to Achan, "My son, I implore you, give glory to the LORD, the God of Israel, and give praise to Him; and tell me now what you have done. Do not hide it from me."

nasb@Joshua:5:22 @So Joshua sent messengers, and they ran to the tent; and behold, it was concealed in his tent with the silver underneath it.

nasb@Joshua:5:26 @They raised over him a great heap of stones that stands to this day, and the LORD turned from the fierceness of His anger. Therefore the name of that place has been called the valley of Achor to this day.

nasb@Joshua:5:3 @So Joshua rose with all the people of war to go up to Ai; and Joshua chose 30,000 men, valiant warriors, and sent them out at night.

nasb@Joshua:5:5" @Then I and all the people who are with me will approach the city. And when they come out to meet us as at the first, we will flee before them.

nasb@Joshua:5:6" @They will come out after us until we have drawn them away from the city, for they will say, 'They are fleeing before us as at the first.' So we will flee before them.

nasb@Joshua:5:12 @And he took about 5,000 men and set them in ambush between Bethel and Ai, on the west side of the city.

nasb@Joshua:5:14 @It came about when the king of Ai saw it, that the men of the city hurried and rose up early and went out to meet Israel in battle, he and all his people at the appointed place before the desert plain. But he did not know that there was an ambush against him behind the city.

nasb@Joshua:5:19 @The men in ambush rose quickly from their place, and when he had stretched out his hand, they ran and entered the city and captured it, and they quickly set the city on fire.

nasb@Joshua:5:20 @When the men of Ai turned back and looked, behold, the smoke of the city ascended to the sky, and they had no place to flee this way or that, for the people who had been fleeing to the wilderness turned against the pursuers.

nasb@Joshua:5:21 @When Joshua and all Israel saw that the men in ambush had captured the city and that the smoke of the city ascended, they turned back and slew the men of Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:22 @The others came out from the city to encounter them, so that they were trapped in the midst of Israel, some on this side and some on that side; and they slew them until no one was left of those who survived or escaped.

nasb@Joshua:5:25 @All who fell that day, both men and women, were 12,000--all the people of Ai.

nasb@Joshua:5:35 @There was not a word of all that Moses had commanded which Joshua did not read before all the assembly of Israel with the women and the little ones and the strangers who were living among them.

nasb@Joshua:6:1 @Now it came about when all the kings who were beyond the Jordan, in the hill country and in the lowland and on all the coast of the Great Sea toward Lebanon, the Hittite and the Amorite, the Canaanite, the Perizzite, the Hivite and the Jebusite, heard of it,

nasb@Joshua:6:4 @they also acted craftily and set out as envoys, and took worn-out sacks on their donkeys, and wineskins worn-out and torn and mended,

nasb@Joshua:6:5 @and worn-out and patched sandals on their feet, and worn-out clothes on themselves; and all the bread of their provision was dry and had become crumbled.

nasb@Joshua:6:6 @They went to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal and said to him and to the men of Israel, "We have come from a far country; now therefore, make a covenant with us."

nasb@Joshua:6:7 @The men of Israel said to the Hivites, "Perhaps you are living within our land; how then shall we make a covenant with you?"

nasb@Joshua:6:8 @But they said to Joshua, " We are your servants." Then Joshua said to them, "Who are you and where do you come from?"

nasb@Joshua:6:9 @They said to him, "Your servants have come from a very far country because of the fame of the LORD your God; for we have heard the report of Him and all that He did in Egypt,

nasb@Joshua:6:11" @So our elders and all the inhabitants of our country spoke to us, saying, 'Take provisions in your hand for the journey, and go to meet them and say to them, " We are your servants; now then, make a covenant with us."'

nasb@Joshua:6:12" @This our bread was warm when we took it for our provisions out of our houses on the day that we left to come to you; but now behold, it is dry and has become crumbled.

nasb@Joshua:6:14 @So the men of Israel took some of their provisions, and did not ask for the counsel of the LORD.

nasb@Joshua:6:16 @It came about at the end of three days after they had made a covenant with them, that they heard that they were neighbors and that they were living within their land.

nasb@Joshua:6:17 @Then the sons of Israel set out and came to their cities on the third day. Now their cities were Gibeon and Chephirah and Beeroth and Kiriath-jearim.

nasb@Joshua:6:21 @The leaders said to them, "Let them live." So they became hewers of wood and drawers of water for the whole congregation, just as the leaders had spoken to them.

nasb@Joshua:7:1 @Now it came about when Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had captured Ai, and had utterly destroyed it (just as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king), and that the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were within their land,

nasb@Joshua:7:2 @that he feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty.

nasb@Joshua:7:4" @Come up to me and help me, and let us attack Gibeon, for it has made peace with Joshua and with the sons of Israel."

nasb@Joshua:7:6 @Then the men of Gibeon sent word to Joshua to the camp at Gilgal, saying, "Do not abandon your servants; come up to us quickly and save us and help us, for all the kings of the Amorites that live in the hill country have assembled against us."

nasb@Joshua:7:9 @So Joshua came upon them suddenly by marching all night from Gilgal.

nasb@Joshua:7:18 @Joshua said, "Roll large stones against the mouth of the cave, and assign men by it to guard them,

nasb@Joshua:7:20 @It came about when Joshua and the sons of Israel had finished slaying them with a very great slaughter, until they were destroyed, and the survivors who remained of them had entered the fortified cities,

nasb@Joshua:7:22 @Then Joshua said, "Open the mouth of the cave and bring these five kings out to me from the cave."

nasb@Joshua:7:24 @When they brought these kings out to Joshua, Joshua called for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, "Come near, put your feet on the necks of these kings." So they came near and put their feet on their necks.

nasb@Joshua:7:27 @It came about at sunset that Joshua gave a command, and they took them down from the trees and threw them into the cave where they had hidden themselves, and put large stones over the mouth of the cave, to this very day.

nasb@Joshua:7:33 @Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help Lachish, and Joshua defeated him and his people until he had left him no survivor.

nasb@Joshua:7:42 @Joshua captured all these kings and their lands at one time, because the LORD, the God of Israel, fought for Israel.

nasb@Joshua:8:1 @Then it came about, when Jabin king of Hazor heard of it, that he sent to Jobab king of Madon and to the king of Shimron and to the king of Achshaph,

nasb@Joshua:8:4 @They came out, they and all their armies with them, as many people as the sand that is on the seashore, with very many horses and chariots.

nasb@Joshua:8:5 @So all of these kings having agreed to meet, came and encamped together at the waters of Merom, to fight against Israel.

nasb@Joshua:8:6 @Then the LORD said to Joshua, " Do not be afraid because of them, for tomorrow at this time I will deliver all of them slain before Israel; you shall hamstring their horses and burn their chariots with fire."

nasb@Joshua:8:7 @So Joshua and all the people of war with him came upon them suddenly by the waters of Merom, and attacked them.

nasb@Joshua:8:10 @Then Joshua turned back at that time, and captured Hazor and struck its king with the sword; for Hazor formerly was the head of all these kingdoms.

nasb@Joshua:8:18 @Joshua waged war a long time with all these kings.

nasb@Joshua:8:20 @For it was of the LORD to harden their hearts, to meet Israel in battle in order that he might utterly destroy them, that they might receive no mercy, but that he might destroy them, just as the LORD had commanded Moses.

nasb@Joshua:8:21 @Then Joshua came at that time and cut off the Anakim from the hill country, from Hebron, from Debir, from Anab and from all the hill country of Judah and from all the hill country of Israel. Joshua utterly destroyed them with their cities.

nasb@Joshua:8:22 @There were no Anakim left in the land of the sons of Israel; only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod some remained.

nasb@Joshua:9:18 @and Jahaz and Kedemoth and Mephaath,

nasb@Joshua:10:6 @Then the sons of Judah drew near to Joshua in Gilgal, and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, "You know the word which the LORD spoke to Moses the man of God concerning you and me in Kadesh-barnea.

nasb@Joshua:10:7" @I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadesh-barnea to spy out the land, and I brought word back to him as it was in my heart.

nasb@Joshua:10:8" @Nevertheless my brethren who went up with me made the heart of the people melt with fear; but I followed the LORD my God fully.

nasb@Joshua:10:10" @Now behold, the LORD has let me live, just as He spoke, these forty-five years, from the time that the LORD spoke this word to Moses, when Israel walked in the wilderness; and now behold, I am eighty-five years old today.

nasb@Joshua:10:11" @ I am still as strong today as I was in the day Moses sent me; as my strength was then, so my strength is now, for war and for going out and coming in.

nasb@Joshua:10:12" @Now then, give me this hill country about which the LORD spoke on that day, for you heard on that day that Anakim were there, with great fortified cities; perhaps the LORD will be with me, and I will drive them out as the LORD has spoken."

nasb@Joshua:10:14 @Therefore, Hebron became the inheritance of Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite until this day, because he followed the LORD God of Israel fully.

nasb@Joshua:10:15 @Now the name of Hebron was formerly Kiriath-arba; for Arba was the greatest man among the Anakim. Then the land had rest from war.

nasb@Joshua:11:1 @Now the lot for the tribe of the sons of Judah according to their families reached the border of Edom, southward to the wilderness of Zin at the extreme south.

nasb@Joshua:11:7 @The border went up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and turned northward toward Gilgal which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, which is on the south of the valley; and the border continued to the waters of En-shemesh and it ended at En-rogel.

nasb@Joshua:11:10 @The border turned about from Baalah westward to Mount Seir, and continued to the slope of Mount Jearim on the north (that is, Chesalon), and went down to Beth-shemesh and continued through Timnah.

nasb@Joshua:11:13 @Now he gave to Caleb the son of Jephunneh a portion among the sons of Judah, according to the command of the LORD to Joshua, namely, Kiriath-arba, Arba being the father of Anak (that is, Hebron).

nasb@Joshua:11:15 @Then he went up from there against the inhabitants of Debir; now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher.

nasb@Joshua:11:18 @It came about that when she came to him, she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. So she alighted from the donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What do you want?"

nasb@Joshua:11:19 @Then she said, "Give me a blessing; since you have given me the land of the Negev, give me also springs of water." So he gave her the upper springs and the lower springs.

nasb@Joshua:11:55 @Maon, Carmel and Ziph and Juttah,

nasb@Joshua:12:6 @Then the border went westward at Michmethath on the north, and the border turned about eastward to Taanath-shiloh and continued beyond it to the east of Janoah.

nasb@Joshua:12:7 @It went down from Janoah to Ataroth and to Naarah, then reached Jericho and came out at the Jordan.

nasb@Joshua:12:10 @But they did not drive out the Canaanites who lived in Gezer, so the Canaanites live in the midst of Ephraim to this day, and they became forced laborers.

nasb@Joshua:13:3 @However, Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, only daughters; and these are the names of his daughters- Mahlah and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah.

nasb@Joshua:13:4 @They came near before Eleazar the priest and before Joshua the son of Nun and before the leaders, saying, "The LORD commanded Moses to give us an inheritance among our brothers." So according to the command of the LORD he gave them an inheritance among their father's brothers.

nasb@Joshua:13:7 @The border of Manasseh ran from Asher to Michmethath which was east of Shechem; then the border went southward to the inhabitants of En-tappuah.

nasb@Joshua:13:11 @In Issachar and in Asher, Manasseh had Beth-shean and its towns and Ibleam and its towns, and the inhabitants of Dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of En-dor and its towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and its towns, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and its towns, the third is Napheth.

nasb@Joshua:13:13 @It came about when the sons of Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but they did not drive them out completely.

nasb@Joshua:13:14 @Then the sons of Joseph spoke to Joshua, saying, "Why have you given me only one lot and one portion for an inheritance, since I am a numerous people whom the LORD has thus far blessed?"

nasb@Joshua:13:15 @Joshua said to them, "If you are a numerous people, go up to the forest and clear a place for yourself there in the land of the Perizzites and of the Rephaim, since the hill country of Ephraim is too narrow for you."

nasb@Joshua:13:17 @Joshua spoke to the house of Joseph, to Ephraim and Manasseh, saying, "You are a numerous people and have great power; you shall not have one lot only,

nasb@Joshua:14:1 @Then the whole congregation of the sons of Israel assembled themselves at Shiloh, and set up the tent of meeting there; and the land was subdued before them.

nasb@Joshua:14:4" @Provide for yourselves three men from each tribe that I may send them, and that they may arise and walk through the land and write a description of it according to their inheritance; then they shall return to me.

nasb@Joshua:14:6" @You shall describe the land in seven divisions, and bring the description here to me. I will cast lots for you here before the LORD our God.

nasb@Joshua:14:8 @Then the men arose and went, and Joshua commanded those who went to describe the land, saying, "Go and walk through the land and describe it, and return to me; then I will cast lots for you here before the LORD in Shiloh."

nasb@Joshua:14:9 @So the men went and passed through the land, and described it by cities in seven divisions in a book; and they came to Joshua to the camp at Shiloh.

nasb@Joshua:14:11 @Now the lot of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin came up according to their families, and the territory of their lot lay between the sons of Judah and the sons of Joseph.

nasb@Joshua:14:17 @It extended northward and went to En-shemesh and went to Geliloth, which is opposite the ascent of Adummim, and it went down to the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.

nasb@Joshua:14:21 @Now the cities of the tribe of the sons of Benjamin according to their families were Jericho and Beth-hoglah and Emek-keziz,

nasb@Joshua:15:1 @Then the second lot fell to Simeon, to the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families, and their inheritance was in the midst of the inheritance of the sons of Judah.

nasb@Joshua:15:8 @and all the villages which were around these cities as far as Baalath-beer, Ramah of the Negev. This was the inheritance of the tribe of the sons of Simeon according to their families.

nasb@Joshua:15:9 @The inheritance of the sons of Simeon was taken from the portion of the sons of Judah, for the share of the sons of Judah was too large for them; so the sons of Simeon received an inheritance in the midst of Judah's inheritance.

nasb@Joshua:15:10 @Now the third lot came up for the sons of Zebulun according to their families. And the territory of their inheritance was as far as Sarid.

nasb@Joshua:15:21 @and Remeth and En-gannim and En-haddah and Beth-pazzez.

nasb@Joshua:15:22 @The border reached to Tabor and Shahazumah and Beth-shemesh, and their border ended at the Jordan; sixteen cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:26 @and Allammelech and Amad and Mishal; and it reached to Carmel on the west and to Shihor-libnath.

nasb@Joshua:15:27 @It turned toward the east to Beth-dagon and reached to Zebulun, and to the valley of Iphtahel northward to Beth-emek and Neiel; then it proceeded on north to Cabul,

nasb@Joshua:15:38 @and Yiron and Migdal-el, Horem and Beth-anath and Beth-shemesh; nineteen cities with their villages.

nasb@Joshua:15:41 @The territory of their inheritance was Zorah and Eshtaol and Ir-shemesh,

nasb@Joshua:15:46 @and Me-jarkon and Rakkon, with the territory over against Joppa.

nasb@Joshua:15:47 @The territory of the sons of Dan proceeded beyond them; for the sons of Dan went up and fought with Leshem and captured it. Then they struck it with the edge of the sword and possessed it and settled in it; and they called Leshem Dan after the name of Dan their father.

nasb@Joshua:15:51 @These are the inheritances which Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, and the heads of the households of the tribes of the sons of Israel distributed by lot in Shiloh before the LORD at the doorway of the tent of meeting. So they finished dividing the land.

nasb@Joshua:16:4 @Then the lot came out for the families of the Kohathites. And the sons of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, received thirteen cities by lot from the tribe of Judah and from the tribe of the Simeonites and from the tribe of Benjamin.

nasb@Joshua:16:7 @The sons of Merari according to their families received twelve cities from the tribe of Reuben and from the tribe of Gad and from the tribe of Zebulun.

nasb@Joshua:16:40 @All these were the cities of the sons of Merari according to their families, the rest of the families of the Levites; and their lot was twelve cities.

nasb@Joshua:16:45 @Not one of the good promises which the LORD had made to the house of Israel failed; all came to pass.

nasb@Joshua:17:9 @The sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh returned home and departed from the sons of Israel at Shiloh which is in the land of Canaan, to go to the land of Gilead, to the land of their possession which they had possessed, according to the command of the LORD through Moses.

nasb@Joshua:17:10 @When they came to the region of the Jordan which is in the land of Canaan, the sons of Reuben and the sons of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh built an altar there by the Jordan, a large altar in appearance.

nasb@Joshua:17:15 @They came to the sons of Reuben and to the sons of Gad and to the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and they spoke with them saying,

nasb@Joshua:17:17 @'Is not the iniquity of Peor enough for us, from which we have not cleansed ourselves to this day, although a plague came on the congregation of the LORD,

nasb@Joshua:17:24" @But truly we have done this out of concern, for a reason, saying, 'In time to come your sons may say to our sons, "What have you to do with the LORD, the God of Israel?

nasb@Joshua:18:1 @Now it came about after many days, when the LORD had given rest to Israel from all their enemies on every side, and Joshua was old, advanced in years,

nasb@Joshua:18:7 @so that you will not associate with these nations, these which remain among you, or mention the name of their gods, or make anyone swear by them, or serve them, or bow down to them.

nasb@Joshua:19:11 @' You crossed the Jordan and came to Jericho; and the citizens of Jericho fought against you, and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Girgashite, the Hivite and the Jebusite. Thus I gave them into your hand.

nasb@Joshua:19:15" @If it is disagreeable in your sight to serve the LORD, choose for yourselves today whom you will serve- whether the gods which your fathers served which were beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you are living; but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

nasb@Joshua:19:20" @ If you forsake the LORD and serve foreign gods, then He will turn and do you harm and consume you after He has done good to you."

nasb@Joshua:19:29 @It came about after these things that Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died, being one hundred and ten years old.

nasb@Joshua:19:32 @Now they buried the bones of Joseph, which the sons of Israel brought up from Egypt, at Shechem, in the piece of ground which Jacob had bought from the sons of Hamor the father of Shechem for one hundred pieces of money; and they became the inheritance of Joseph's sons.

nasb@Judges:1:1 @Now it came about after the death of Joshua that the sons of Israel inquired of the LORD, saying, "Who shall go up first for us against the Canaanites, to fight against them?"

nasb@Judges:1:3 @Then Judah said to Simeon his brother, "Come up with me into the territory allotted me, that we may fight against the Canaanites; and I in turn will go with you into the territory allotted you." So Simeon went with him.

nasb@Judges:1:4 @Judah went up, and the LORD gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands, and they defeated ten thousand men at Bezek.

nasb@Judges:1:7 @Adoni-bezek said, "Seventy kings with their thumbs and their big toes cut off used to gather up scraps under my table; as I have done, so God has repaid me." So they brought him to Jerusalem and he died there.

nasb@Judges:1:10 @So Judah went against the Canaanites who lived in Hebron (now the name of Hebron formerly was Kiriath-arba); and they struck Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai.

nasb@Judges:1:11 @Then from there he went against the inhabitants of Debir (now the name of Debir formerly was Kiriath-sepher).

nasb@Judges:1:14 @Then it came about when she came to him, that she persuaded him to ask her father for a field. Then she alighted from her donkey, and Caleb said to her, "What do you want?"

nasb@Judges:1:17 @Then Judah went with Simeon his brother, and they struck the Canaanites living in Zephath, and utterly destroyed it. So the name of the city was called Hormah.

nasb@Judges:1:23 @The house of Joseph spied out Bethel ( now the name of the city was formerly Luz).

nasb@Judges:1:26 @The man went into the land of the Hittites and built a city and named it Luz which is its name to this day.

nasb@Judges:1:28 @It came about when Israel became strong, that they put the Canaanites to forced labor, but they did not drive them out completely.

nasb@Judges:1:30 @Zebulun did not drive out the inhabitants of Kitron, or the inhabitants of Nahalol; so the Canaanites lived among them and became subject to forced labor.

nasb@Judges:1:33 @Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh, or the inhabitants of Beth-anath, but lived among the Canaanites, the inhabitants of the land; and the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath became forced labor for them.

nasb@Judges:1:35 @yet the Amorites persisted in living in Mount Heres, in Aijalon and in Shaalbim; but when the power of the house of Joseph grew strong, they became forced labor.

nasb@Judges:2:1 @Now the angel of the LORD came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, " I brought you up out of Egypt and led you into the land which I have sworn to your fathers; and I said, ' I will never break My covenant with you,

nasb@Judges:5:17 @So Gideon said to Him, "If now I have found favor in Your sight, then show me a sign that it is You who speak with me.

nasb@Judges:5:18" @Please do not depart from here, until I come back to You, and bring out my offering and lay it before You." And He said, "I will remain until you return."

nasb@Judges:5:19 @Then Gideon went in and prepared a young goat and unleavened bread from an ephah of flour; he put the meat in a basket and the broth in a pot, and brought them out to him under the oak and presented them.

nasb@Judges:5:20 @The angel of God said to him, "Take the meat and the unleavened bread and lay them on this rock, and pour out the broth." And he did so.

nasb@Judges:5:21 @Then the angel of the LORD put out the end of the staff that was in his hand and touched the meat and the unleavened bread; and fire sprang up from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened bread. Then the angel of the LORD vanished from his sight.

nasb@Judges:5:24 @Then Gideon built an altar there to the LORD and named it The LORD is Peace. To this day it is still in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

nasb@Judges:5:25 @Now on the same night the LORD said to him, "Take your father's bull and a second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal which belongs to your father, and cut down the Asherah that is beside it;

nasb@Judges:5:27 @Then Gideon took ten men of his servants and did as the LORD had spoken to him; and because he was too afraid of his father's household and the men of the city to do it by day, he did it by night.

nasb@Judges:5:28 @When the men of the city arose early in the morning, behold, the altar of Baal was torn down, and the Asherah which was beside it was cut down, and the second bull was offered on the altar which had been built.

nasb@Judges:5:30 @Then the men of the city said to Joash, "Bring out your son, that he may die, for he has torn down the altar of Baal, and indeed, he has cut down the Asherah which was beside it."

nasb@Judges:5:31 @But Joash said to all who stood against him, "Will you contend for Baal, or will you deliver him? Whoever will plead for him shall be put to death by morning. If he is a god, let him contend for himself, because someone has torn down his altar."

nasb@Judges:5:32 @Therefore on that day he named him Jerubbaal, that is to say, "Let Baal contend against him," because he had torn down his altar.

nasb@Judges:5:34 @So the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon; and he blew a trumpet, and the Abiezrites were called together to follow him.

nasb@Judges:5:35 @He sent messengers throughout Manasseh, and they also were called together to follow him; and he sent messengers to Asher, Zebulun, and Naphtali, and they came up to meet them.

nasb@Judges:5:36 @Then Gideon said to God, " If You will deliver Israel through me, as You have spoken,

nasb@Judges:5:37 @behold, I will put a fleece of wool on the threshing floor. If there is dew on the fleece only, and it is dry on all the ground, then I will know that You will deliver Israel through me, as You have spoken."

nasb@Judges:5:39 @Then Gideon said to God, " Do not let Your anger burn against me that I may speak once more; please let me make a test once more with the fleece, let it now be dry only on the fleece, and let there be dew on all the ground."

nasb@Judges:6:2 @The LORD said to Gideon, "The people who are with you are too many for Me to give Midian into their hands, for Israel would become boastful, saying, 'My own power has delivered me.'

nasb@Judges:6:3" @Now therefore come, proclaim in the hearing of the people, saying, ' Whoever is afraid and trembling, let him return and depart from Mount Gilead.'" So 22,000 people returned, but 10,000 remained.

nasb@Judges:6:6 @Now the number of those who lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, was 300 men; but all the rest of the people kneeled to drink water.

nasb@Judges:6:7 @The LORD said to Gideon, "I will deliver you with the 300 men who lapped and will give the Midianites into your hands; so let all the other people go, each man to his home."

nasb@Judges:6:8 @So the 300 men took the people's provisions and their trumpets into their hands. And Gideon sent all the other men of Israel, each to his tent, but retained the 300 men; and the camp of Midian was below him in the valley.

nasb@Judges:6:9 @Now the same night it came about that the LORD said to him, "Arise, go down against the camp, for I have given it into your hands.

nasb@Judges:6:12 @Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the sons of the east were lying in the valley as numerous as locusts; and their camels were without number, as numerous as the sand on the seashore.

nasb@Judges:6:13 @When Gideon came, behold, a man was relating a dream to his friend. And he said, "Behold, I had a dream; a loaf of barley bread was tumbling into the camp of Midian, and it came to the tent and struck it so that it fell, and turned it upside down so that the tent lay flat."

nasb@Judges:6:16 @He divided the 300 men into three companies, and he put trumpets and empty pitchers into the hands of all of them, with torches inside the pitchers.

nasb@Judges:6:17 @He said to them, "Look at me and do likewise. And behold, when I come to the outskirts of the camp, do as I do.

nasb@Judges:6:18" @When I and all who are with me blow the trumpet, then you also blow the trumpets all around the camp and say, 'For the LORD and for Gideon.'"

nasb@Judges:6:19 @So Gideon and the hundred men who were with him came to the outskirts of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, when they had just posted the watch; and they blew the trumpets and smashed the pitchers that were in their hands.

nasb@Judges:6:22 @When they blew 300 trumpets, the LORD set the sword of one against another even throughout the whole army; and the army fled as far as Beth-shittah toward Zererah, as far as the edge of Abel-meholah, by Tabbath.

nasb@Judges:6:23 @The men of Israel were summoned from Naphtali and Asher and all Manasseh, and they pursued Midian.

nasb@Judges:6:24 @Gideon sent messengers throughout all the hill country of Ephraim, saying, "Come down against Midian and take the waters before them, as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan." So all the men of Ephraim were summoned and they took the waters as far as Beth-barah and the Jordan.

nasb@Judges:7:1 @Then the men of Ephraim said to him, " What is this thing you have done to us, not calling us when you went to fight against Midian?" And they contended with him vigorously.

nasb@Judges:7:4 @Then Gideon and the 300 men who were with him came to the Jordan and crossed over, weary yet pursuing.

nasb@Judges:7:5 @He said to the men of Succoth, "Please give loaves of bread to the people who are following me, for they are weary, and I am pursuing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian."

nasb@Judges:7:8 @He went up from there to Penuel and spoke similarly to them; and the men of Penuel answered him just as the men of Succoth had answered.

nasb@Judges:7:9 @So he spoke also to the men of Penuel, saying, "When I return safely, I will tear down this tower."

nasb@Judges:7:10 @Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, and their armies with them, about 15,000 men, all who were left of the entire army of the sons of the east; for the fallen were 120,000 swordsmen.

nasb@Judges:7:14 @And he captured a youth from Succoth and questioned him. Then the youth wrote down for him the princes of Succoth and its elders, seventy-seven men.

nasb@Judges:7:15 @He came to the men of Succoth and said, "Behold Zebah and Zalmunna, concerning whom you taunted me, saying, ' Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna already in your hand, that we should give bread to your men who are weary?'"

nasb@Judges:7:16 @He took the elders of the city, and thorns of the wilderness and briers, and he disciplined the men of Succoth with them.

nasb@Judges:7:17 @He tore down the tower of Penuel and killed the men of the city.

nasb@Judges:7:18 @Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, "What kind of men were they whom you killed at Tabor?" And they said, "They were like you, each one resembling the son of a king."

nasb@Judges:7:21 @Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, "Rise up yourself, and fall on us; for as the man, so is his strength." So Gideon arose and killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and took the crescent ornaments which were on their camels' necks.

nasb@Judges:7:22 @Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, "Rule over us, both you and your son, also your son's son, for you have delivered us from the hand of Midian."

nasb@Judges:7:24 @Yet Gideon said to them, "I would request of you, that each of you give me an earring from his spoil." (For they had gold earrings, because they were Ishmaelites.)

nasb@Judges:7:25 @They said, "We will surely give them." So they spread out a garment, and every one of them threw an earring there from his spoil.

nasb@Judges:7:26 @The weight of the gold earrings that he requested was 1,700 shekels of gold, besides the crescent ornaments and the pendants and the purple robes which were on the kings of Midian, and besides the neck bands that were on their camels' necks.

nasb@Judges:7:27 @Gideon made it into an ephod, and placed it in his city, Ophrah, and all Israel played the harlot with it there, so that it became a snare to Gideon and his household.

nasb@Judges:7:31 @His concubine who was in Shechem also bore him a son, and he named him Abimelech.

nasb@Judges:7:33 @Then it came about, as soon as Gideon was dead, that the sons of Israel again played the harlot with the Baals, and made Baal-berith their god.

nasb@Judges:7:34 @Thus the sons of Israel did not remember the LORD their God, who had delivered them from the hands of all their enemies on every side;

nasb@Judges:7:9 @And Abimelech the son of Jerubbaal went to Shechem to his mother's relatives, and spoke to them and to the whole clan of the household of his mother's father, saying,

nasb@Judges:7:2" @Speak, now, in the hearing of all the leaders of Shechem, 'Which is better for you, that seventy men, all the sons of Jerubbaal, rule over you, or that one man rule over you?' Also, remember that I am your bone and your flesh."

nasb@Judges:7:3 @And his mother's relatives spoke all these words on his behalf in the hearing of all the leaders of Shechem; and they were inclined to follow Abimelech, for they said, "He is our relative."

nasb@Judges:7:4 @They gave him seventy pieces of silver from the house of Baal-berith with which Abimelech hired worthless and reckless fellows, and they followed him.

nasb@Judges:7:5 @Then he went to his father's house at Ophrah and killed his brothers the sons of Jerubbaal, seventy men, on one stone. But Jotham the youngest son of Jerubbaal was left, for he hid himself.

nasb@Judges:7:6 @All the men of Shechem and all Beth-millo assembled together, and they went and made Abimelech king, by the oak of the pillar which was in Shechem.

nasb@Judges:7:7 @Now when they told Jotham, he went and stood on the top of Mount Gerizim, and lifted his voice and called out. Thus he said to them, "Listen to me, O men of Shechem, that God may listen to you.

nasb@Judges:7:9" @But the olive tree said to them, 'Shall I leave my fatness with which God and men are honored, and go to wave over the trees?'

nasb@Judges:7:10" @Then the trees said to the fig tree, 'You come, reign over us!'

nasb@Judges:7:12" @Then the trees said to the vine, 'You come, reign over us!'

nasb@Judges:7:13" @But the vine said to them, 'Shall I leave my new wine, which cheers God and men, and go to wave over the trees?'

nasb@Judges:7:14" @Finally all the trees said to the bramble, 'You come, reign over us!'

nasb@Judges:7:15" @The bramble said to the trees, 'If in truth you are anointing me as king over you, come and take refuge in my shade; but if not, may fire come out from the bramble and consume the cedars of Lebanon.'

nasb@Judges:7:16" @Now therefore, if you have dealt in truth and integrity in making Abimelech king, and if you have dealt well with Jerubbaal and his house, and have dealt with him as he deserved--

nasb@Judges:7:18 @but you have risen against my father's house today and have killed his sons, seventy men, on one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his maidservant, king over the men of Shechem, because he is your relative--

nasb@Judges:7:19 @if then you have dealt in truth and integrity with Jerubbaal and his house this day, rejoice in Abimelech, and let him also rejoice in you.

nasb@Judges:7:20" @But if not, let fire come out from Abimelech and consume the men of Shechem and Beth-millo; and let fire come out from the men of Shechem and from Beth-millo, and consume Abimelech."

nasb@Judges:7:21 @Then Jotham escaped and fled, and went to Beer and remained there because of Abimelech his brother.

nasb@Judges:7:22 @Now Abimelech ruled over Israel three years.

nasb@Judges:7:23 @Then God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the men of Shechem; and the men of Shechem dealt treacherously with Abimelech,

nasb@Judges:7:24 @so that the violence done to the seventy sons of Jerubbaal might come, and their blood might be laid on Abimelech their brother, who killed them, and on the men of Shechem, who strengthened his hands to kill his brothers.

nasb@Judges:7:25 @The men of Shechem set men in ambush against him on the tops of the mountains, and they robbed all who might pass by them along the road; and it was told to Abimelech.

nasb@Judges:7:26 @Now Gaal the son of Ebed came with his relatives, and crossed over into Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their trust in him.

nasb@Judges:7:27 @They went out into the field and gathered the grapes of their vineyards and trod them, and held a festival; and they went into the house of their god, and ate and drank and cursed Abimelech.

nasb@Judges:7:28 @Then Gaal the son of Ebed said, "Who is Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerubbaal, and is Zebul not his lieutenant? Serve the men of Hamor the father of Shechem; but why should we serve him?

nasb@Judges:7:29" @ Would, therefore, that this people were under my authority! Then I would remove Abimelech." And he said to Abimelech, "Increase your army and come out."

nasb@Judges:7:31 @He sent messengers to Abimelech deceitfully, saying, "Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed and his relatives have come to Shechem; and behold, they are stirring up the city against you.

nasb@Judges:7:33" @In the morning, as soon as the sun is up, you shall rise early and rush upon the city; and behold, when he and the people who are with him come out against you, you shall do to them whatever you can."

nasb@Judges:7:34 @So Abimelech and all the people who were with him arose by night and lay in wait against Shechem in four companies.

nasb@Judges:7:35 @Now Gaal the son of Ebed went out and stood in the entrance of the city gate; and Abimelech and the people who were with him arose from the ambush.

nasb@Judges:7:36 @When Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, "Look, people are coming down from the tops of the mountains." But Zebul said to him, "You are seeing the shadow of the mountains as if they were men."

nasb@Judges:7:37 @Gaal spoke again and said, "Behold, people are coming down from the highest part of the land, and one company comes by the way of the diviners' oak."

nasb@Judges:7:38 @Then Zebul said to him, "Where is your boasting now with which you said, 'Who is Abimelech that we should serve him?' Is this not the people whom you despised? Go out now and fight with them!"

nasb@Judges:7:39 @So Gaal went out before the leaders of Shechem and fought with Abimelech.

nasb@Judges:7:40 @Abimelech chased him, and he fled before him; and many fell wounded up to the entrance of the gate.

nasb@Judges:7:41 @Then Abimelech remained at Arumah, but Zebul drove out Gaal and his relatives so that they could not remain in Shechem.

nasb@Judges:7:42 @Now it came about the next day, that the people went out to the field, and it was told to Abimelech.

nasb@Judges:7:44 @Then Abimelech and the company who was with him dashed forward and stood in the entrance of the city gate; the other two companies then dashed against all who were in the field and slew them.

nasb@Judges:7:45 @Abimelech fought against the city all that day, and he captured the city and killed the people who were in it; then he razed the city and sowed it with salt.

nasb@Judges:7:47 @It was told Abimelech that all the leaders of the tower of Shechem were gathered together.

nasb@Judges:7:48 @So Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, he and all the people who were with him; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand and cut down a branch from the trees, and lifted it and laid it on his shoulder. Then he said to the people who were with him, "What you have seen me do, hurry and do likewise."

nasb@Judges:7:49 @All the people also cut down each one his branch and followed Abimelech, and put them on the inner chamber and set the inner chamber on fire over those inside, so that all the men of the tower of Shechem also died, about a thousand men and women.

nasb@Judges:7:50 @Then Abimelech went to Thebez, and he camped against Thebez and captured it.

nasb@Judges:7:51 @But there was a strong tower in the center of the city, and all the men and women with all the leaders of the city fled there and shut themselves in; and they went up on the roof of the tower.

nasb@Judges:7:52 @So Abimelech came to the tower and fought against it, and approached the entrance of the tower to burn it with fire.

nasb@Judges:7:53 @But a certain woman threw an upper millstone on Abimelech's head, crushing his skull.

nasb@Judges:7:54 @Then he called quickly to the young man, his armor bearer, and said to him, "Draw your sword and kill me, so that it will not be said of me, 'A woman slew him.'" So the young man pierced him through, and he died.

nasb@Judges:7:55 @When the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, each departed to his home.

nasb@Judges:7:56 @Thus God repaid the wickedness of Abimelech, which he had done to his father in killing his seventy brothers.

nasb@Judges:7:57 @Also God returned all the wickedness of the men of Shechem on their heads, and the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal came upon them.

nasb@Judges:8:1 @Now after Abimelech died, Tola the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, arose to save Israel; and he lived in Shamir in the hill country of Ephraim.

nasb@Judges:8:12" @Also when the Sidonians, the Amalekites and the Maonites oppressed you, you cried out to Me, and I delivered you from their hands.

nasb@Judges:8:13" @Yet you have forsaken Me and served other gods; therefore I will no longer deliver you.

nasb@Judges:8:14" @ Go and cry out to the gods which you have chosen; let them deliver you in the time of your distress."

nasb@Judges:8:18 @The people, the leaders of Gilead, said to one another, "Who is the man who will begin to fight against the sons of AmmonNULL He shall become head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."

nasb@Judges:9:4 @It came about after a while that the sons of Ammon fought against Israel.

nasb@Judges:9:6 @and they said to Jephthah, "Come and be our chief that we may fight against the sons of Ammon."

nasb@Judges:9:7 @Then Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, " Did you not hate me and drive me from my father's house? So why have you come to me now when you are in trouble?"

nasb@Judges:9:8 @The elders of Gilead said to Jephthah, "For this reason we have now returned to you, that you may go with us and fight with the sons of Ammon and become head over all the inhabitants of Gilead."

nasb@Judges:9:9 @So Jephthah said to the elders of Gilead, "If you take me back to fight against the sons of Ammon and the LORD gives them up to me, will I become your head?"

nasb@Judges:9:12 @Now Jephthah sent messengers to the king of the sons of Ammon, saying, "What is between you and me, that you have come to me to fight against my land?"

nasb@Judges:9:13 @The king of the sons of Ammon said to the messengers of Jephthah, "Because Israel took away my land when they came up from Egypt, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and the Jordan; therefore, return them peaceably now."

nasb@Judges:9:14 @But Jephthah sent messengers again to the king of the sons of Ammon,

nasb@Judges:9:16 @'For when they came up from Egypt, and Israel went through the wilderness to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh,

nasb@Judges:9:17 @then Israel sent messengers to the king of Edom, saying, "Please let us pass through your land," but the king of Edom would not listen. And they also sent to the king of Moab, but he would not consent. So Israel remained at Kadesh.

nasb@Judges:9:18 @'Then they went through the wilderness and around the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came to the east side of the land of Moab, and they camped beyond the Arnon; but they did not enter the territory of Moab, for the Arnon was the border of Moab.

nasb@Judges:9:19 @'And Israel sent messengers to Sihon king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon, and Israel said to him, "Please let us pass through your land to our place."

nasb@Judges:9:26 @' While Israel lived in Heshbon and its villages, and in Aroer and its villages, and in all the cities that are on the banks of the Arnon, three hundred years, why did you not recover them within that time?

nasb@Judges:9:27 @'I therefore have not sinned against you, but you are doing me wrong by making war against me; may the LORD, the Judge, judge today between the sons of Israel and the sons of Ammon.'"

nasb@Judges:9:28 @But the king of the sons of Ammon disregarded the message which Jephthah sent him.

nasb@Judges:9:29 @Now the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, so that he passed through Gilead and Manasseh; then he passed through Mizpah of Gilead, and from Mizpah of Gilead he went on to the sons of Ammon.

nasb@Judges:9:31 @then it shall be that whatever comes out of the doors of my house to meet me when I return in peace from the sons of Ammon, it shall be the LORD'S, and I will offer it up as a burnt offering."

nasb@Judges:9:34 @When Jephthah came to his house at Mizpah, behold, his daughter was coming out to meet him with tambourines and with dancing. Now she was his one and only child; besides her he had no son or daughter.

nasb@Judges:9:35 @When he saw her, he tore his clothes and said, "Alas, my daughter! You have brought me very low, and you are among those who trouble me; for I have given my word to the LORD, and I cannot take it back."

nasb@Judges:9:36 @So she said to him, "My father, you have given your word to the LORD; do to me as you have said, since the LORD has avenged you of your enemies, the sons of Ammon."

nasb@Judges:9:37 @She said to her father, "Let this thing be done for me; let me alone two months, that I may go to the mountains and weep because of my virginity, I and my companions."

nasb@Judges:9:39 @At the end of two months she returned to her father, who did to her according to the vow which he had made; and she had no relations with a man. Thus it became a custom in Israel,

nasb@Judges:9:40 @that the daughters of Israel went yearly to commemorate the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in the year.

nasb@Judges:10:1 @Then the men of Ephraim were summoned, and they crossed to Zaphon and said to Jephthah, "Why did you cross over to fight against the sons of Ammon without calling us to go with you? We will burn your house down on you."

nasb@Judges:10:2 @Jephthah said to them, "I and my people were at great strife with the sons of Ammon; when I called you, you did not deliver me from their hand.

nasb@Judges:10:3" @When I saw that you would not deliver me, I took my life in my hands and crossed over against the sons of Ammon, and the LORD gave them into my hand. Why then have you come up to me this day to fight against me?"

nasb@Judges:10:4 @Then Jephthah gathered all the men of Gilead and fought Ephraim; and the men of Gilead defeated Ephraim, because they said, "You are fugitives of Ephraim, O Gileadites, in the midst of Ephraim and in the midst of Manasseh."

nasb@Judges:10:5 @The Gileadites captured the fords of the Jordan opposite Ephraim. And it happened when any of the fugitives of Ephraim said, "Let me cross over," the men of Gilead would say to him, "Are you an Ephraimite?" If he said, "No,"

nasb@Judges:10:6 @then they would say to him, "Say now, 'Shibboleth.'" But he said, "Sibboleth," for he could not pronounce it correctly. Then they seized him and slew him at the fords of the Jordan. Thus there fell at that time 42,000 of Ephraim.

nasb@Judges:11:2 @There was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren and had borne no children.

nasb@Judges:11:5" @ For behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son, and no razor shall come upon his head, for the boy shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines."

nasb@Judges:11:6 @Then the woman came and told her husband, saying, " A man of God came to me and his appearance was like the appearance of the angel of God, very awesome. And I did not ask him where he came from, nor did he tell me his name.

nasb@Judges:11:9 @God listened to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came again to the woman as she was sitting in the field, but Manoah her husband was not with her.

nasb@Judges:11:10 @So the woman ran quickly and told her husband, "Behold, the man who came the other day has appeared to me."

nasb@Judges:11:11 @Then Manoah arose and followed his wife, and when he came to the man he said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to the woman?" And he said, "I am."

nasb@Judges:11:12 @Manoah said, "Now when your words come to pass, what shall be the boy's mode of life and his vocation?"

nasb@Judges:11:14" @She should not eat anything that comes from the vine nor drink wine or strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing; let her observe all that I commanded."

nasb@Judges:11:16 @The angel of the LORD said to Manoah, "Though you detain me, I will not eat your food, but if you prepare a burnt offering, then offer it to the LORD." For Manoah did not know that he was the angel of the LORD.

nasb@Judges:11:18 @But the angel of the LORD said to him, "Why do you ask my name, seeing it is wonderful?"

nasb@Judges:11:19 @So Manoah took the young goat with the grain offering and offered it on the rock to the LORD, and He performed wonders while Manoah and his wife looked on.

nasb@Judges:11:20 @For it came about when the flame went up from the altar toward heaven, that the angel of the LORD ascended in the flame of the altar. When Manoah and his wife saw this, they fell on their faces to the ground.

nasb@Judges:11:23 @But his wife said to him, "If the LORD had desired to kill us, He would not have accepted a burnt offering and a grain offering from our hands, nor would He have shown us all these things, nor would He have let us hear things like this at this time."

nasb@Judges:11:24 @Then the woman gave birth to a son and named him Samson; and the child grew up and the LORD blessed him.

nasb@Judges:12:3 @Then his father and his mother said to him, "Is there no woman among the daughters of your relatives, or among all our people, that you go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" But Samson said to his father, "Get her for me, for she looks good to me."

nasb@Judges:12:4 @However, his father and mother did not know that it was of the LORD, for He was seeking an occasion against the Philistines. Now at that time the Philistines were ruling over Israel.

nasb@Judges:12:5 @Then Samson went down to Timnah with his father and mother, and came as far as the vineyards of Timnah; and behold, a young lion came roaring toward him.

nasb@Judges:12:6 @The Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily, so that he tore him as one tears a young goat though he had nothing in his hand; but he did not tell his father or mother what he had done.

nasb@Judges:12:9 @So he scraped the honey into his hands and went on, eating as he went. When he came to his father and mother, he gave some to them and they ate it; but he did not tell them that he had scraped the honey out of the body of the lion.

nasb@Judges:12:10 @Then his father went down to the woman; and Samson made a feast there, for the young men customarily did this.

nasb@Judges:12:12 @Then Samson said to them, "Let me now propound a riddle to you; if you will indeed tell it to me within the seven days of the feast, and find it out, then I will give you thirty linen wraps and thirty changes of clothes.

nasb@Judges:12:13" @But if you are unable to tell me, then you shall give me thirty linen wraps and thirty changes of clothes." And they said to him, "Propound your riddle, that we may hear it."

nasb@Judges:12:14 @So he said to them, "Out of the eater came something to eat, And out of the strong came something sweet." But they could not tell the riddle in three days.

nasb@Judges:12:15 @Then it came about on the fourth day that they said to Samson's wife, " Entice your husband, so that he will tell us the riddle, or we will burn you and your father's house with fire. Have you invited us to impoverish us? Is this not so?"

nasb@Judges:12:16 @Samson's wife wept before him and said, " You only hate me, and you do not love me; you have propounded a riddle to the sons of my people, and have not told it to me." And he said to her, "Behold, I have not told it to my father or mother; so should I tell you?"

nasb@Judges:12:18 @So the men of the city said to him on the seventh day before the sun went down, "What is sweeter than honey? And what is stronger than a lion?" And he said to them, "If you had not plowed with my heifer, You would not have found out my riddle."

nasb@Judges:12:19 @Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily, and he went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty of them and took their spoil and gave the changes of clothes to those who told the riddle. And his anger burned, and he went up to his father's house.

nasb@Judges:13:1 @But after a while, in the time of wheat harvest, Samson visited his wife with a young goat, and said, "I will go in to my wife in her room." But her father did not let him enter.

nasb@Judges:13:3 @Samson then said to them, "This time I shall be blameless in regard to the Philistines when I do them harm."

nasb@Judges:13:6 @Then the Philistines said, "Who did this?" And they said, "Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took his wife and gave her to his companion." So the Philistines came up and burned her and her father with fire.

nasb@Judges:13:10 @The men of Judah said, "Why have you come up against us?" And they said, "We have come up to bind Samson in order to do to him as he did to us."

nasb@Judges:13:11 @Then 3,000 men of Judah went down to the cleft of the rock of Etam and said to Samson, "Do you not know that the Philistines are rulers over us? What then is this that you have done to us?" And he said to them, "As they did to me, so I have done to them."

nasb@Judges:13:12 @They said to him, "We have come down to bind you so that we may give you into the hands of the Philistines." And Samson said to them, "Swear to me that you will not kill me."

nasb@Judges:13:14 @When he came to Lehi, the Philistines shouted as they met him. And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him mightily so that the ropes that were on his arms were as flax that is burned with fire, and his bonds dropped from his hands.

nasb@Judges:13:15 @He found a fresh jawbone of a donkey, so he reached out and took it and killed a thousand men with it.

nasb@Judges:13:16 @Then Samson said, "With the jawbone of a donkey, Heaps upon heaps, With the jawbone of a donkey I have killed a thousand men."

nasb@Judges:13:17 @When he had finished speaking, he threw the jawbone from his hand; and he named that place Ramath-lehi.

nasb@Judges:13:18 @Then he became very thirsty, and he called to the LORD and said, "You have given this great deliverance by the hand of Your servant, and now shall I die of thirst and fall into the hands of the uncircumcised?"

nasb@Judges:13:19 @But God split the hollow place that is in Lehi so that water came out of it. When he drank, his strength returned and he revived. Therefore he named it En-hakkore, which is in Lehi to this day.

nasb@Judges:14:2 @When it was told to the Gazites, saying, "Samson has come here," they surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night at the gate of the city. And they kept silent all night, saying, "Let us wait until the morning light, then we will kill him."

nasb@Judges:14:4 @After this it came about that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.

nasb@Judges:14:5 @The lords of the Philistines came up to her and said to her, " Entice him, and see where his great strength lies and how we may overpower him that we may bind him to afflict him. Then we will each give you eleven hundred pieces of silver."

nasb@Judges:14:6 @So Delilah said to Samson, "Please tell me where your great strength is and how you may be bound to afflict you."

nasb@Judges:14:7 @Samson said to her, "If they bind me with seven fresh cords that have not been dried, then I will become weak and be like any other man."

nasb@Judges:14:9 @Now she had men lying in wait in an inner room. And she said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" But he snapped the cords as a string of tow snaps when it touches fire. So his strength was not discovered.

nasb@Judges:14:10 @Then Delilah said to Samson, "Behold, you have deceived me and told me lies; now please tell me how you may be bound."

nasb@Judges:14:11 @He said to her, "If they bind me tightly with new ropes which have not been used, then I will become weak and be like any other man."

nasb@Judges:14:12 @So Delilah took new ropes and bound him with them and said to him, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" For the men were lying in wait in the inner room. But he snapped the ropes from his arms like a thread.

nasb@Judges:14:13 @Then Delilah said to Samson, "Up to now you have deceived me and told me lies; tell me how you may be bound." And he said to her, "If you weave the seven locks of my hair with the web [and fasten it with a pin, then I will become weak and be like any other man."

nasb@Judges:14:15 @Then she said to him, " How can you say, 'I love you,' when your heart is not with me? You have deceived me these three times and have not told me where your great strength is."

nasb@Judges:14:16 @It came about when she pressed him daily with her words and urged him, that his soul was annoyed to death.

nasb@Judges:14:17 @So he told her all that was in his heart and said to her, "A razor has never come on my head, for I have been a Nazirite to God from my mother's womb. If I am shaved, then my strength will leave me and I will become weak and be like any other man."

nasb@Judges:14:18 @When Delilah saw that he had told her all that was in his heart, she sent and called the lords of the Philistines, saying, "Come up once more, for he has told me all that is in his heart." Then the lords of the Philistines came up to her and brought the money in their hands.

nasb@Judges:14:20 @She said, "The Philistines are upon you, Samson!" And he awoke from his sleep and said, "I will go out as at other times and shake myself free." But he did not know that the LORD had departed from him.

nasb@Judges:14:26 @Then Samson said to the boy who was holding his hand, "Let me feel the pillars on which the house rests, that I may lean against them."

nasb@Judges:14:27 @Now the house was full of men and women, and all the lords of the Philistines were there. And about 3,000 men and women were on the roof looking on while Samson was amusing them.

nasb@Judges:14:28 @Then Samson called to the LORD and said, "O Lord GOD, please remember me and please strengthen me just this time, O God, that I may at once be avenged of the Philistines for my two eyes."

nasb@Judges:14:30 @And Samson said, "Let me die with the Philistines!" And he bent with all his might so that the house fell on the lords and all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he killed at his death were more than those whom he killed in his life.

nasb@Judges:14:31 @Then his brothers and all his father's household came down, took him, brought him up and buried him between Zorah and Eshtaol in the tomb of Manoah his father. Thus he had judged Israel twenty years.

nasb@Judges:15:1 @Now there was a man of the hill country of Ephraim whose name was Micah.

nasb@Judges:15:2 @He said to his mother, "The eleven hundred pieces of silver which were taken from you, about which you uttered a curse in my hearing, behold, the silver is with me; I took it." And his mother said, "Blessed be my son by the LORD."

nasb@Judges:15:5 @And the man Micah had a shrine and he made an ephod and household idols and consecrated one of his sons, that he might become his priest.

nasb@Judges:15:8 @Then the man departed from the city, from Bethlehem in Judah, to stay wherever he might find a place; and as he made his journey, he came to the hill country of Ephraim to the house of Micah.

nasb@Judges:15:9 @Micah said to him, "Where do you come from?" And he said to him, "I am a Levite from Bethlehem in Judah, and I am going to stay wherever I may find a place."

nasb@Judges:15:10 @Micah then said to him, "Dwell with me and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten pieces of silver a year, a suit of clothes, and your maintenance." So the Levite went in.

nasb@Judges:15:11 @The Levite agreed to live with the man, and the young man became to him like one of his sons.

nasb@Judges:15:12 @So Micah consecrated the Levite, and the young man became his priest and lived in the house of Micah.

nasb@Judges:15:13 @Then Micah said, "Now I know that the LORD will prosper me, seeing I have a Levite as priest."

nasb@Judges:16:2 @So the sons of Dan sent from their family five men out of their whole number, valiant men from Zorah and Eshtaol, to spy out the land and to search it; and they said to them, "Go, search the land." And they came to the hill country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, and lodged there.

nasb@Judges:16:4 @He said to them, "Thus and so has Micah done to me, and he has hired me and I have become his priest."

nasb@Judges:16:7 @Then the five men departed and came to Laish and saw the people who were in it living in security, after the manner of the Sidonians, quiet and secure; for there was no ruler humiliating them for anything in the land, and they were far from the Sidonians and had no dealings with anyone.

nasb@Judges:16:8 @When they came back to their brothers at Zorah and Eshtaol, their brothers said to them, "What do you report?"

nasb@Judges:16:10" @When you enter, you will come to a secure people with a spacious land; for God has given it into your hand, a place where there is no lack of anything that is on the earth."

nasb@Judges:16:11 @Then from the family of the Danites, from Zorah and from Eshtaol, six hundred men armed with weapons of war set out.

nasb@Judges:16:13 @They passed from there to the hill country of Ephraim and came to the house of Micah.

nasb@Judges:16:14 @Then the five men who went to spy out the country of Laish said to their kinsmen, "Do you know that there are in these houses an ephod and household idols and a graven image and a molten image? Now therefore, consider what you should do."

nasb@Judges:16:15 @They turned aside there and came to the house of the young man, the Levite, to the house of Micah, and asked him of his welfare.

nasb@Judges:16:16 @The six hundred men armed with their weapons of war, who were of the sons of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.

nasb@Judges:16:17 @Now the five men who went to spy out the land went up and entered there, and took the graven image and the ephod and household idols and the molten image, while the priest stood by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men armed with weapons of war.

nasb@Judges:16:19 @They said to him, "Be silent, put your hand over your mouth and come with us, and be to us a father and a priest. Is it better for you to be a priest to the house of one man, or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?"

nasb@Judges:16:22 @When they had gone some distance from the house of Micah, the men who were in the houses near Micah's house assembled and overtook the sons of Dan.

nasb@Judges:16:24 @He said, "You have taken away my gods which I made, and the priest, and have gone away, and what do I have besides? So how can you say to me, 'What is the matter with you?'"

nasb@Judges:16:25 @The sons of Dan said to him, "Do not let your voice be heard among us, or else fierce men will fall upon you and you will lose your life, with the lives of your household."

nasb@Judges:16:27 @Then they took what Micah had made and the priest who had belonged to him, and came to Laish, to a people quiet and secure, and struck them with the edge of the sword; and they burned the city with fire.

nasb@Judges:16:29 @They called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father who was born in Israel; however, the name of the city formerly was Laish.

nasb@Judges:16:31 @So they set up for themselves Micah's graven image which he had made, all the time that the house of God was at Shiloh.

nasb@Judges:17:1 @Now it came about in those days, when there was no king in Israel, that there was a certain Levite staying in the remote part of the hill country of Ephraim, who took a concubine for himself from Bethlehem in Judah.

nasb@Judges:17:3 @Then her husband arose and went after her to speak tenderly to her in order to bring her back, taking with him his servant and a pair of donkeys. So she brought him into her father's house, and when the girl's father saw him, he was glad to meet him.

nasb@Judges:17:6 @So both of them sat down and ate and drank together; and the girl's father said to the man, "Please be willing to spend the night, and let your heart be merry."

nasb@Judges:17:9 @When the man arose to go along with his concubine and servant, his father-in-law, the girl's father, said to him, "Behold now, the day has drawn to a close; please spend the night. Lo, the day is coming to an end; spend the night here that your heart may be merry. Then tomorrow you may arise early for your journey so that you may go home."

nasb@Judges:17:10 @But the man was not willing to spend the night, so he arose and departed and came to a place opposite Jebus (that is, Jerusalem). And there were with him a pair of saddled donkeys; his concubine also was with him.

nasb@Judges:17:11 @When they were near Jebus, the day was almost gone; and the servant said to his master, "Please come, and let us turn aside into this city of the Jebusites and spend the night in it."

nasb@Judges:17:13 @He said to his servant, "Come and let us approach one of these places; and we will spend the night in Gibeah or Ramah."

nasb@Judges:17:16 @Then behold, an old man was coming out of the field from his work at evening. Now the man was from the hill country of Ephraim, and he was staying in Gibeah, but the men of the place were Benjamites.

nasb@Judges:17:17 @And he lifted up his eyes and saw the traveler in the open square of the city; and the old man said, "Where are you going, and where do you come from?"

nasb@Judges:17:18 @He said to him, "We are passing from Bethlehem in Judah to the remote part of the hill country of Ephraim, for I am from there, and I went to Bethlehem in Judah. But I am now going to my house, and no man will take me into his house.

nasb@Judges:17:19" @Yet there is both straw and fodder for our donkeys, and also bread and wine for me, your maidservant, and the young man who is with your servants; there is no lack of anything."

nasb@Judges:17:20 @The old man said, " Peace to you. Only let me take care of all your needs; however, do not spend the night in the open square."

nasb@Judges:17:22 @While they were celebrating, behold, the men of the city, certain worthless fellows, surrounded the house, pounding the door; and they spoke to the owner of the house, the old man, saying, "Bring out the man who came into your house that we may have relations with him."

nasb@Judges:17:23 @Then the man, the owner of the house, went out to them and said to them, "No, my fellows, please do not act so wickedly; since this man has come into my house, do not commit this act of folly.

nasb@Judges:17:24" @ Here is my virgin daughter and his concubine. Please let me bring them out that you may ravish them and do to them whatever you wish. But do not commit such an act of folly against this man."

nasb@Judges:17:25 @But the men would not listen to him. So the man seized his concubine and brought her out to them; and they raped her and abused her all night until morning, then let her go at the approach of dawn.

nasb@Judges:17:26 @As the day began to dawn, the woman came and fell down at the doorway of the man's house where her master was, until full daylight.

nasb@Judges:17:28 @He said to her, "Get up and let us go," but there was no answer. Then he placed her on the donkey; and the man arose and went to his home.

nasb@Judges:17:30 @All who saw it said, "Nothing like this has ever happened or been seen from the day when the sons of Israel came up from the land of Egypt to this day. Consider it, take counsel and speak up!"

nasb@Judges:18:1 @Then all the sons of Israel from Dan to Beersheba, including the land of Gilead, came out, and the congregation assembled as one man to the LORD at Mizpah.

nasb@Judges:18:4 @So the Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered and said, "I came with my concubine to spend the night at Gibeah which belongs to Benjamin.

nasb@Judges:18:5" @But the men of Gibeah rose up against me and surrounded the house at night because of me. They intended to kill me; instead, they ravished my concubine so that she died.

nasb@Judges:18:10" @And we will take 10 men out of 100 throughout the tribes of Israel, and 100 out of 1,000, and 1,000 out of 10,000 to supply food for the people, that when they come to Gibeah of Benjamin, they may punish them for all the disgraceful acts that they have committed in Israel."

nasb@Judges:18:11 @Thus all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, united as one man.

nasb@Judges:18:12 @Then the tribes of Israel sent men through the entire tribe of Benjamin, saying, "What is this wickedness that has taken place among you?

nasb@Judges:18:13" @Now then, deliver up the men, the worthless fellows in Gibeah, that we may put them to death and remove this wickedness from Israel." But the sons of Benjamin would not listen to the voice of their brothers, the sons of Israel.

nasb@Judges:18:15 @From the cities on that day the sons of Benjamin were numbered, 26,000 men who draw the sword, besides the inhabitants of Gibeah who were numbered, 700 choice men.

nasb@Judges:18:16 @Out of all these people 700 choice men were left-handed; each one could sling a stone at a hair and not miss.

nasb@Judges:18:17 @Then the men of Israel besides Benjamin were numbered, 400,000 men who draw the sword; all these were men of war.

nasb@Judges:18:20 @The men of Israel went out to battle against Benjamin, and the men of Israel arrayed for battle against them at Gibeah.

nasb@Judges:18:21 @Then the sons of Benjamin came out of Gibeah and felled to the ground on that day 22,000 men of Israel.

nasb@Judges:18:22 @But the people, the men of Israel, encouraged themselves and arrayed for battle again in the place where they had arrayed themselves the first day.

nasb@Judges:18:24 @Then the sons of Israel came against the sons of Benjamin the second day.

nasb@Judges:18:25 @Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah the second day and felled to the ground again 18,000 men of the sons of Israel; all these drew the sword.

nasb@Judges:18:26 @Then all the sons of Israel and all the people went up and came to Bethel and wept; thus they remained there before the LORD and fasted that day until evening. And they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD.

nasb@Judges:18:29 @So Israel set men in ambush around Gibeah.

nasb@Judges:18:30 @The sons of Israel went up against the sons of Benjamin on the third day and arrayed themselves against Gibeah as at other times.

nasb@Judges:18:31 @The sons of Benjamin went out against the people and were drawn away from the city, and they began to strike and kill some of the people as at other times, on the highways, one of which goes up to Bethel and the other to Gibeah, and in the field, about thirty men of Israel.

nasb@Judges:18:33 @Then all the men of Israel arose from their place and arrayed themselves at Baal-tamar; and the men of Israel in ambush broke out of their place, even out of Maareh-geba.

nasb@Judges:18:34 @When ten thousand choice men from all Israel came against Gibeah, the battle became fierce; but Benjamin did not know that disaster was close to them.

nasb@Judges:18:35 @And the LORD struck Benjamin before Israel, so that the sons of Israel destroyed 25,100 men of Benjamin that day, all who draw the sword.

nasb@Judges:18:36 @So the sons of Benjamin saw that they were defeated. When the men of Israel gave ground to Benjamin because they relied on the men in ambush whom they had set against Gibeah,

nasb@Judges:18:37 @the men in ambush hurried and rushed against Gibeah; the men in ambush also deployed and struck all the city with the edge of the sword.

nasb@Judges:18:38 @Now the appointed sign between the men of Israel and the men in ambush was that they would make a great cloud of smoke rise from the city.

nasb@Judges:18:39 @Then the men of Israel turned in the battle, and Benjamin began to strike and kill about thirty men of Israel, for they said, "Surely they are defeated before us, as in the first battle."

nasb@Judges:18:41 @Then the men of Israel turned, and the men of Benjamin were terrified; for they saw that disaster was close to them.

nasb@Judges:18:42 @Therefore, they turned their backs before the men of Israel toward the direction of the wilderness, but the battle overtook them while those who came out of the cities destroyed them in the midst of them.

nasb@Judges:18:44 @Thus 18,000 men of Benjamin fell; all these were valiant warriors.

nasb@Judges:18:46 @So all of Benjamin who fell that day were 25,000 men who draw the sword; all these were valiant warriors.

nasb@Judges:18:47 @But 600 men turned and fled toward the wilderness to the rock of Rimmon, and they remained at the rock of Rimmon four months.

nasb@Judges:18:48 @The men of Israel then turned back against the sons of Benjamin and struck them with the edge of the sword, both the entire city with the cattle and all that they found; they also set on fire all the cities which they found.

nasb@Judges:19:1 @Now the men of Israel had sworn in Mizpah, saying, "None of us shall give his daughter to Benjamin in marriage."

nasb@Judges:19:2 @So the people came to Bethel and sat there before God until evening, and lifted up their voices and wept bitterly.

nasb@Judges:19:3 @They said, "Why, O LORD, God of Israel, has this come about in Israel, so that one tribe should be missing today in Israel?"

nasb@Judges:19:4 @It came about the next day that the people arose early and built an altar there and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings.

nasb@Judges:19:5 @Then the sons of Israel said, "Who is there among all the tribes of Israel who did not come up in the assembly to the LORD?" For they had taken a great oath concerning him who did not come up to the LORD at Mizpah, saying, "He shall surely be put to death."

nasb@Judges:19:8 @And they said, "What one is there of the tribes of Israel who did not come up to the LORD at Mizpah?" And behold, no one had come to the camp from Jabesh-gilead to the assembly.

nasb@Judges:19:10 @And the congregation sent 12,000 of the valiant warriors there, and commanded them, saying, "Go and strike the inhabitants of Jabesh-gilead with the edge of the sword, with the women and the little ones.

nasb@Judges:19:13 @Then the whole congregation sent word and spoke to the sons of Benjamin who were at the rock of Rimmon, and proclaimed peace to them.

nasb@Judges:19:14 @Benjamin returned at that time, and they gave them the women whom they had kept alive from the women of Jabesh-gilead; yet they were not enough for them.

nasb@Judges:19:16 @Then the elders of the congregation said, "What shall we do for wives for those who are left, since the women are destroyed out of Benjamin?"

nasb@Judges:19:21 @and watch; and behold, if the daughters of Shiloh come out to take part in the dances, then you shall come out of the vineyards and each of you shall catch his wife from the daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benjamin.

nasb@Judges:19:22" @It shall come about, when their fathers or their brothers come to complain to us, that we shall say to them, 'Give them to us voluntarily, because we did not take for each man of Benjamin a wife in battle, nor did you give them to them, else you would now be guilty.'"

nasb@Judges:19:24 @The sons of Israel departed from there at that time, every man to his tribe and family, and each one of them went out from there to his inheritance.

nasb@Ruth:1:1 @Now it came about in the days when the judges governed, that there was a famine in the land. And a certain man of Bethlehem in Judah went to sojourn in the land of Moab with his wife and his two sons.

nasb@Ruth:1:2 @The name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife, Naomi; and the names of his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem in Judah. Now they entered the land of Moab and remained there.

nasb@Ruth:1:3 @Then Elimelech, Naomi's husband, died; and she was left with her two sons.

nasb@Ruth:1:4 @They took for themselves Moabite women as wives; the name of the one was Orpah and the name of the other Ruth. And they lived there about ten years.

nasb@Ruth:1:8 @And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, "Go, return each of you to her mother's house. May the LORD deal kindly with you as you have dealt with the dead and with me.

nasb@Ruth:1:11 @But Naomi said, "Return, my daughters. Why should you go with me? Have I yet sons in my womb, that they may be your husbands?

nasb@Ruth:1:13 @would you therefore wait until they were grown? Would you therefore refrain from marrying? No, my daughters; for it is harder for me than for you, for the hand of the LORD has gone forth against me."

nasb@Ruth:1:16 @But Ruth said, "Do not urge me to leave you or turn back from following you; for where you go, I will go, and where you lodge, I will lodge. Your people shall be my people, and your God, my God.

nasb@Ruth:1:17" @Where you die, I will die, and there I will be buried. Thus may the LORD do to me, and worse, if anything but death parts you and me."

nasb@Ruth:1:19 @So they both went until they came to Bethlehem. And when they had come to Bethlehem, all the city was stirred because of them, and the women said, "Is this Naomi?"

nasb@Ruth:1:20 @She said to them, "Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has dealt very bitterly with me.

nasb@Ruth:1:21" @I went out full, but the LORD has brought me back empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since the LORD has witnessed against me and the Almighty has afflicted me?"

nasb@Ruth:1:22 @So Naomi returned, and with her Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, who returned from the land of Moab. And they came to Bethlehem at the beginning of barley harvest.

nasb@Ruth:2:1 @Now Naomi had a kinsman of her husband, a man of great wealth, of the family of Elimelech, whose name was Boaz.

nasb@Ruth:2:2 @And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, "Please let me go to the field and glean among the ears of grain after one in whose sight I may find favor." And she said to her, "Go, my daughter."

nasb@Ruth:2:3 @So she departed and went and gleaned in the field after the reapers; and she happened to come to the portion of the field belonging to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

nasb@Ruth:2:4 @Now behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, " May the LORD be with you." And they said to him, "May the LORD bless you."

nasb@Ruth:2:7" @And she said, 'Please let me glean and gather after the reapers among the sheaves.' Thus she came and has remained from the morning until now; she has been sitting in the house for a little while."

nasb@Ruth:2:10 @Then she fell on her face, bowing to the ground and said to him, "Why have I found favor in your sight that you should take notice of me, since I am a foreigner?"

nasb@Ruth:2:11 @Boaz replied to her, "All that you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband has been fully reported to me, and how you left your father and your mother and the land of your birth, and came to a people that you did not previously know.

nasb@Ruth:2:12" @ May the LORD reward your work, and your wages be full from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to seek refuge."

nasb@Ruth:2:13 @Then she said, "I have found favor in your sight, my lord, for you have comforted me and indeed have spoken kindly to your maidservant, though I am not like one of your maidservants."

nasb@Ruth:2:14 @At mealtime Boaz said to her, "Come here, that you may eat of the bread and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar." So she sat beside the reapers; and he served her roasted grain, and she ate and was satisfied and had some left.

nasb@Ruth:2:16" @Also you shall purposely pull out for her some grain from the bundles and leave it that she may glean, and do not rebuke her."

nasb@Ruth:2:19 @Her mother-in-law then said to her, "Where did you glean today and where did you work? May he who took notice of you be blessed." So she told her mother-in-law with whom she had worked and said, "The name of the man with whom I worked today is Boaz."

nasb@Ruth:2:21 @Then Ruth the Moabitess said, "Furthermore, he said to me, 'You should stay close to my servants until they have finished all my harvest.'"

nasb@Ruth:2:7 @When Boaz had eaten and drunk and his heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain; and she came secretly, and uncovered his feet and lay down.

nasb@Ruth:2:10 @Then he said, " May you be blessed of the LORD, my daughter. You have shown your last kindness to be better than the first by not going after young men, whether poor or rich.

nasb@Ruth:2:13" @Remain this night, and when morning comes, if he will redeem you, good; let him redeem you. But if he does not wish to redeem you, then I will redeem you, as the LORD lives. Lie down until morning."

nasb@Ruth:2:14 @So she lay at his feet until morning and rose before one could recognize another; and he said, " Let it not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."

nasb@Ruth:2:15 @Again he said, "Give me the cloak that is on you and hold it." So she held it, and he measured six measures of barley and laid it on her. Then she went into the city.

nasb@Ruth:2:16 @When she came to her mother-in-law, she said, "How did it go, my daughter?" And she told her all that the man had done for her.

nasb@Ruth:2:17 @She said, "These six measures of barley he gave to me, for he said, 'Do not go to your mother-in-law empty-handed.'"

nasb@Ruth:3:2 @He took ten men of the elders of the city and said, "Sit down here." So they sat down.

nasb@Ruth:3:3 @Then he said to the closest relative, "Naomi, who has come back from the land of Moab, has to sell the piece of land which belonged to our brother Elimelech.

nasb@Ruth:3:4" @So I thought to inform you, saying, ' Buy it before those who are sitting here, and before the elders of my people. If you will redeem it, redeem it; but if not, tell me that I may know; for there is no one but you to redeem it, and I am after you.'" And he said, "I will redeem it."

nasb@Ruth:3:5 @Then Boaz said, "On the day you buy the field from the hand of Naomi, you must also acquire Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of the deceased, in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance."

nasb@Ruth:3:7 @Now this was the custom in former times in Israel concerning the redemption and the exchange of land to confirm any matter- a man removed his sandal and gave it to another; and this was the manner of attestation in Israel.

nasb@Ruth:3:9 @Then Boaz said to the elders and all the people, "You are witnesses today that I have bought from the hand of Naomi all that belonged to Elimelech and all that belonged to Chilion and Mahlon.

nasb@Ruth:3:10" @Moreover, I have acquired Ruth the Moabitess, the widow of Mahlon, to be my wife in order to raise up the name of the deceased on his inheritance, so that the name of the deceased will not be cut off from his brothers or from the court of his birth place; you are witnesses today."

nasb@Ruth:3:11 @All the people who were in the court, and the elders, said, "We are witnesses. May the LORD make the woman who is coming into your home like Rachel and Leah, both of whom built the house of Israel; and may you achieve wealth in Ephrathah and become famous in Bethlehem.

nasb@Ruth:3:13 @So Boaz took Ruth, and she became his wife, and he went in to her. And the LORD enabled her to conceive, and she gave birth to a son.

nasb@Ruth:3:14 @Then the women said to Naomi, "Blessed is the LORD who has not left you without a redeemer today, and may his name become famous in Israel.

nasb@Ruth:3:16 @Then Naomi took the child and laid him in her lap, and became his nurse.

nasb@Ruth:3:17 @The neighbor women gave him a name, saying, "A son has been born to Naomi!" So they named him Obed. He is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

nasb@1Samuel:1:1 @Now there was a certain man from Ramathaim-zophim from the hill country of Ephraim, and his name was Elkanah the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite.

nasb@1Samuel:1:2 @He had two wives- the name of one was Hannah and the name of the other Peninnah; and Peninnah had children, but Hannah had no children.

nasb@1Samuel:1:4 @When the day came that Elkanah sacrificed, he would give portions to Peninnah his wife and to all her sons and her daughters;

nasb@1Samuel:1:11 @She made a vow and said, "O LORD of hosts, if You will indeed look on the affliction of Your maidservant and remember me, and not forget Your maidservant, but will give Your maidservant a son, then I will give him to the LORD all the days of his life, and a razor shall never come on his head."

nasb@1Samuel:1:12 @Now it came about, as she continued praying before the LORD, that Eli was watching her mouth.

nasb@1Samuel:1:19 @Then they arose early in the morning and worshiped before the LORD, and returned again to their house in Ramah. And Elkanah had relations with Hannah his wife, and the LORD remembered her.

nasb@1Samuel:1:20 @It came about in due time, after Hannah had conceived, that she gave birth to a son; and she named him Samuel, saying, " Because I have asked him of the LORD."

nasb@1Samuel:1:27" @ For this boy I prayed, and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of Him.

nasb@1Samuel:2:3" @Boast no more so very proudly, Do not let arrogance come out of your mouth; For the LORD is a God of knowledge, And with Him actions are weighed.

nasb@1Samuel:2:11 @Then Elkanah went to his home at Ramah. But the boy ministered to the LORD before Eli the priest.

nasb@1Samuel:2:12 @Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know the LORD

nasb@1Samuel:2:13 @and the custom of the priests with the people. When any man was offering a sacrifice, the priest's servant would come while the meat was boiling, with a three-pronged fork in his hand.

nasb@1Samuel:2:14 @Then he would thrust it into the pan, or kettle, or caldron, or pot; all that the fork brought up the priest would take for himself. Thus they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.

nasb@1Samuel:2:15 @Also, before they burned the fat, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, "Give the priest meat for roasting, as he will not take boiled meat from you, only raw."

nasb@1Samuel:2:16 @If the man said to him, "They must surely burn the fat first, and then take as much as you desire," then he would say, "No, but you shall give it to me now; and if not, I will take it by force."

nasb@1Samuel:2:17 @Thus the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD, for the men despised the offering of the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:2:19 @And his mother would make him a little robe and bring it to him from year to year when she would come up with her husband to offer the yearly sacrifice.

nasb@1Samuel:2:20 @Then Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife and say, "May the LORD give you children from this woman in place of the one she dedicated to the LORD." And they went to their own home.

nasb@1Samuel:2:22 @Now Eli was very old; and he heard all that his sons were doing to all Israel, and how they lay with the women who served at the doorway of the tent of meeting.

nasb@1Samuel:2:25" @If one man sins against another, God will mediate for him; but if a man sins against the LORD, who can intercede for him?" But they would not listen to the voice of their father, for the LORD desired to put them to death.

nasb@1Samuel:2:26 @Now the boy Samuel was growing in stature and in favor both with the LORD and with men.

nasb@1Samuel:2:27 @Then a man of God came to Eli and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, ' Did I not indeed reveal Myself to the house of your father when they were in Egypt in bondage to Pharaoh's house?

nasb@1Samuel:2:28 @' Did I not choose them from all the tribes of Israel to be My priests, to go up to My altar, to burn incense, to carry an ephod before Me; and did I not give to the house of your father all the fire offerings of the sons of Israel?

nasb@1Samuel:2:29 @'Why do you kick at My sacrifice and at My offering which I have commanded in My dwelling, and honor your sons above Me, by making yourselves fat with the choicest of every offering of My people Israel?'

nasb@1Samuel:2:30" @Therefore the LORD God of Israel declares, ' I did indeed say that your house and the house of your father should walk before Me forever'; but now the LORD declares, 'Far be it from Me--for those who honor Me I will honor, and those who despise Me will be lightly esteemed.

nasb@1Samuel:2:33 @'Yet I will not cut off every man of yours from My altar so that your eyes will fail from weeping and your soul grieve, and all the increase of your house will die in the prime of life.

nasb@1Samuel:2:34 @'This will be the sign to you which will come concerning your two sons, Hophni and Phinehas- on the same day both of them will die.

nasb@1Samuel:2:36 @'Everyone who is left in your house will come and bow down to him for a piece of silver or a loaf of bread and say, "Please assign me to one of the priest's offices so that I may eat a piece of bread."'"

nasb@1Samuel:3:2 @It happened at that time as Eli was lying down in his place (now his eyesight had begun to grow dim and he could not see well),

nasb@1Samuel:3:5 @Then he ran to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he said, "I did not call, lie down again." So he went and lay down.

nasb@1Samuel:3:6 @The LORD called yet again, "Samuel!" So Samuel arose and went to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." But he answered, "I did not call, my son, lie down again."

nasb@1Samuel:3:8 @So the LORD called Samuel again for the third time. And he arose and went to Eli and said, "Here I am, for you called me." Then Eli discerned that the LORD was calling the boy.

nasb@1Samuel:3:10 @Then the LORD came and stood and called as at other times, "Samuel! Samuel!" And Samuel said, "Speak, for Your servant is listening."

nasb@1Samuel:3:17 @He said, "What is the word that He spoke to you? Please do not hide it from me. May God do so to you, and more also, if you hide anything from me of all the words that He spoke to you."

nasb@1Samuel:3:20 @All Israel from Dan even to Beersheba knew that Samuel was confirmed as a prophet of the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:4:1 @Thus the word of Samuel came to all Israel. Now Israel went out to meet the Philistines in battle and camped beside Ebenezer while the Philistines camped in Aphek.

nasb@1Samuel:4:2 @The Philistines drew up in battle array to meet Israel. When the battle spread, Israel was defeated before the Philistines who killed about four thousand men on the battlefield.

nasb@1Samuel:4:3 @When the people came into the camp, the elders of Israel said, " Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us take to ourselves from Shiloh the ark of the covenant of the LORD, that it may come among us and deliver us from the power of our enemies."

nasb@1Samuel:4:5 @As the ark of the covenant of the LORD came into the camp, all Israel shouted with a great shout, so that the earth resounded.

nasb@1Samuel:4:6 @When the Philistines heard the noise of the shout, they said, "What does the noise of this great shout in the camp of the Hebrews mean?" Then they understood that the ark of the LORD had come into the camp.

nasb@1Samuel:4:7 @The Philistines were afraid, for they said, "God has come into the camp." And they said, " Woe to us! For nothing like this has happened before.

nasb@1Samuel:4:9" @ Take courage and be men, O Philistines, or you will become slaves to the Hebrews, as they have been slaves to you; therefore, be men and fight."

nasb@1Samuel:4:12 @Now a man of Benjamin ran from the battle line and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothes torn and dust on his head.

nasb@1Samuel:4:13 @When he came, behold, Eli was sitting on his seat by the road eagerly watching, because his heart was trembling for the ark of God. So the man came to tell it in the city, and all the city cried out.

nasb@1Samuel:4:14 @When Eli heard the noise of the outcry, he said, "What does the noise of this commotion mean?" Then the man came hurriedly and told Eli.

nasb@1Samuel:4:16 @The man said to Eli, "I am the one who came from the battle line. Indeed, I escaped from the battle line today." And he said, " How did things go, my son?"

nasb@1Samuel:4:18 @When he mentioned the ark of God, Eli fell off the seat backward beside the gate, and his neck was broken and he died, for he was old and heavy. Thus he judged Israel forty years.

nasb@1Samuel:4:19 @Now his daughter-in-law, Phinehas's wife, was pregnant and about to give birth; and when she heard the news that the ark of God was taken and that her father-in-law and her husband had died, she kneeled down and gave birth, for her pains came upon her.

nasb@1Samuel:4:20 @And about the time of her death the women who stood by her said to her, " Do not be afraid, for you have given birth to a son." But she did not answer or pay attention.

nasb@1Samuel:5:7 @When the men of Ashdod saw that it was so, they said, "The ark of the God of Israel must not remain with us, for His hand is severe on us and on Dagon our god."

nasb@1Samuel:5:9 @After they had brought it around, the hand of the LORD was against the city with very great confusion; and He smote the men of the city, both young and old, so that tumors broke out on them.

nasb@1Samuel:5:10 @So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And as the ark of God came to Ekron the Ekronites cried out, saying, "They have brought the ark of the God of Israel around to us, to kill us and our people."

nasb@1Samuel:5:12 @And the men who did not die were smitten with tumors and the cry of the city went up to heaven.

nasb@1Samuel:6:7" @Now therefore, take and prepare a new cart and two milch cows on which there has never been a yoke; and hitch the cows to the cart and take their calves home, away from them.

nasb@1Samuel:6:9" @Watch, if it goes up by the way of its own territory to Beth-shemesh, then He has done us this great evil. But if not, then we will know that it was not His hand that struck us; it happened to us by chance."

nasb@1Samuel:6:10 @Then the men did so, and took two milch cows and hitched them to the cart, and shut up their calves at home.

nasb@1Samuel:6:12 @And the cows took the straight way in the direction of Beth-shemesh; they went along the highway, lowing as they went, and did not turn aside to the right or to the left. And the lords of the Philistines followed them to the border of Beth-shemesh.

nasb@1Samuel:6:13 @Now the people of Beth-shemesh were reaping their wheat harvest in the valley, and they raised their eyes and saw the ark and were glad to see it.

nasb@1Samuel:6:14 @The cart came into the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite and stood there where there was a large stone; and they split the wood of the cart and offered the cows as a burnt offering to the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:6:15 @The Levites took down the ark of the LORD and the box that was with it, in which were the articles of gold, and put them on the large stone; and the men of Beth-shemesh offered burnt offerings and sacrificed sacrifices that day to the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:6:19 @He struck down some of the men of Beth-shemesh because they had looked into the ark of the LORD. He struck down of all the people, 50,070 men, and the people mourned because the LORD had struck the people with a great slaughter.

nasb@1Samuel:6:20 @The men of Beth-shemesh said, " Who is able to stand before the LORD, this holy God? And to whom shall He go up from us?"

nasb@1Samuel:6:21 @So they sent messengers to the inhabitants of Kiriath-jearim, saying, "The Philistines have brought back the ark of the LORD; come down and take it up to you."

nasb@1Samuel:7:1 @And the men of Kiriath-jearim came and took the ark of the LORD and brought it into the house of Abinadab on the hill, and consecrated Eleazar his son to keep the ark of the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:7:2 @From the day that the ark remained at Kiriath-jearim, the time was long, for it was twenty years; and all the house of Israel lamented after the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:7:11 @The men of Israel went out of Mizpah and pursued the Philistines, and struck them down as far as below Beth-car.

nasb@1Samuel:7:12 @Then Samuel took a stone and set it between Mizpah and Shen, and named it Ebenezer, saying, "Thus far the LORD has helped us."

nasb@1Samuel:7:13 @So the Philistines were subdued and they did not come anymore within the border of Israel. And the hand of the LORD was against the Philistines all the days of Samuel.

nasb@1Samuel:8:1 @And it came about when Samuel was old that he appointed his sons judges over Israel.

nasb@1Samuel:8:2 @Now the name of his firstborn was Joel, and the name of his second, Abijah; they were judging in Beersheba.

nasb@1Samuel:8:4 @Then all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah;

nasb@1Samuel:8:7 @The LORD said to Samuel, "Listen to the voice of the people in regard to all that they say to you, for they have not rejected you, but they have rejected Me from being king over them.

nasb@1Samuel:8:8" @Like all the deeds which they have done since the day that I brought them up from Egypt even to this day--in that they have forsaken Me and served other gods--so they are doing to you also.

nasb@1Samuel:8:11 @He said, " This will be the procedure of the king who will reign over you- he will take your sons and place them for himself in his chariots and among his horsemen and they will run before his chariots.

nasb@1Samuel:8:12" @ He will appoint for himself commanders of thousands and of fifties, and some to do his plowing and to reap his harvest and to make his weapons of war and equipment for his chariots.

nasb@1Samuel:8:13" @He will also take your daughters for perfumers and cooks and bakers.

nasb@1Samuel:8:16" @He will also take your male servants and your female servants and your best young men and your donkeys and use them for his work.

nasb@1Samuel:8:17" @He will take a tenth of your flocks, and you yourselves will become his servants.

nasb@1Samuel:8:22 @The LORD said to Samuel, " Listen to their voice and appoint them a king." So Samuel said to the men of Israel, "Go every man to his city."

nasb@1Samuel:9:1 @Now there was a man of Benjamin whose name was Kish the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, the son of a Benjamite, a mighty man of valor.

nasb@1Samuel:9:2 @He had a son whose name was Saul, a choice and handsome man, and there was not a more handsome person than he among the sons of Israel; from his shoulders and up he was taller than any of the people.

nasb@1Samuel:9:5 @When they came to the land of Zuph, Saul said to his servant who was with him, "Come, and let us return, or else my father will cease to be concerned about the donkeys and will become anxious for us."

nasb@1Samuel:9:6 @He said to him, "Behold now, there is a man of God in this city, and the man is held in honor; all that he says surely comes true. Now let us go there, perhaps he can tell us about our journey on which we have set out."

nasb@1Samuel:9:9 @(Formerly in Israel, when a man went to inquire of God, he used to say, "Come, and let us go to the seer"; for he who is called a prophet now was formerly called a seer.)

nasb@1Samuel:9:10 @Then Saul said to his servant, "Well said; come, let us go." So they went to the city where the man of God was.

nasb@1Samuel:9:11 @As they went up the slope to the city, they found young women going out to draw water and said to them, "Is the seer here?"

nasb@1Samuel:9:12 @They answered them and said, "He is; see, he is ahead of you. Hurry now, for he has come into the city today, for the people have a sacrifice on the high place today.

nasb@1Samuel:9:13" @As soon as you enter the city you will find him before he goes up to the high place to eat, for the people will not eat until he comes, because he must bless the sacrifice; afterward those who are invited will eat. Now therefore, go up for you will find him at once."

nasb@1Samuel:9:14 @So they went up to the city. As they came into the city, behold, Samuel was coming out toward them to go up to the high place.

nasb@1Samuel:9:16" @About this time tomorrow I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and you shall anoint him to be prince over My people Israel; and he will deliver My people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have regarded My people, because their cry has come to Me."

nasb@1Samuel:9:18 @Then Saul approached Samuel in the gate and said, "Please tell me where the seer's house is."

nasb@1Samuel:9:19 @Samuel answered Saul and said, "I am the seer. Go up before me to the high place, for you shall eat with me today; and in the morning I will let you go, and will tell you all that is on your mind.

nasb@1Samuel:9:21 @Saul replied, " Am I not a Benjamite, of the smallest of the tribes of Israel, and my family the least of all the families of the tribe of Benjamin? Why then do you speak to me in this way?"

nasb@1Samuel:9:22 @Then Samuel took Saul and his servant and brought them into the hall and gave them a place at the head of those who were invited, who were about thirty men.

nasb@1Samuel:9:24 @Then the cook took up the leg with what was on it and set it before Saul. And Samuel said, "Here is what has been reserved! Set it before you and eat, because it has been kept for you until the appointed time, since I said I have invited the people." So Saul ate with Samuel that day.

nasb@1Samuel:9:25 @When they came down from the high place into the city, Samuel spoke with Saul on the roof.

nasb@1Samuel:9:2" @When you go from me today, then you will find two men close to Rachel's tomb in the territory of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, ' The donkeys which you went to look for have been found. Now behold, your father has ceased to be concerned about the donkeys and is anxious for you, saying, "What shall I do about my son?"'

nasb@1Samuel:9:3" @Then you will go on further from there, and you will come as far as the oak of Tabor, and there three men going up to God at Bethel will meet you, one carrying three young goats, another carrying three loaves of bread, and another carrying a jug of wine;

nasb@1Samuel:9:5" @Afterward you will come to the hill of God where the Philistine garrison is; and it shall be as soon as you have come there to the city, that you will meet a group of prophets coming down from the high place with harp, tambourine, flute, and a lyre before them, and they will be prophesying.

nasb@1Samuel:9:6" @Then the Spirit of the LORD will come upon you mightily, and you shall prophesy with them and be changed into another man.

nasb@1Samuel:9:7" @It shall be when these signs come to you, do for yourself what the occasion requires, for God is with you.

nasb@1Samuel:9:8" @And you shall go down before me to Gilgal; and behold, I will come down to you to offer burnt offerings and sacrifice peace offerings. You shall wait seven days until I come to you and show you what you should do."

nasb@1Samuel:9:9 @Then it happened when he turned his back to leave Samuel, God changed his heart; and all those signs came about on that day.

nasb@1Samuel:9:10 @When they came to the hill there, behold, a group of prophets met him; and the Spirit of God came upon him mightily, so that he prophesied among them.

nasb@1Samuel:9:11 @It came about, when all who knew him previously saw that he prophesied now with the prophets, that the people said to one another, "What has happened to the son of Kish? Is Saul also among the prophets?"

nasb@1Samuel:9:12 @A man there said, "Now, who is their father?" Therefore it became a proverb- " Is Saul also among the prophets?"

nasb@1Samuel:9:13 @When he had finished prophesying, he came to the high place.

nasb@1Samuel:9:15 @Saul's uncle said, "Please tell me what Samuel said to you."

nasb@1Samuel:9:16 @So Saul said to his uncle, " He told us plainly that the donkeys had been found." But he did not tell him about the matter of the kingdom which Samuel had mentioned.

nasb@1Samuel:9:22 @Therefore they inquired further of the LORD, "Has the man come here yet?" So the LORD said, "Behold, he is hiding himself by the baggage."

nasb@1Samuel:9:26 @Saul also went to his house at Gibeah; and the valiant men whose hearts God had touched went with him.

nasb@1Samuel:9:27 @But certain worthless men said, "How can this one deliver usNULL" And they despised him and did not bring him any present. But he kept silent.

nasb@1Samuel:10:1 @Now Nahash the Ammonite came up and besieged Jabesh-gilead; and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, "Make a covenant with us and we will serve you."

nasb@1Samuel:10:3 @The elders of Jabesh said to him, "Let us alone for seven days, that we may send messengers throughout the territory of Israel. Then, if there is no one to deliver us, we will come out to you."

nasb@1Samuel:10:4 @Then the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and spoke these words in the hearing of the people, and all the people lifted up their voices and wept.

nasb@1Samuel:10:5 @Now behold, Saul was coming from the field behind the oxen, and he said, "What is the matter with the people that they weep?" So they related to him the words of the men of Jabesh.

nasb@1Samuel:10:6 @Then the Spirit of God came upon Saul mightily when he heard these words, and he became very angry.

nasb@1Samuel:10:7 @He took a yoke of oxen and cut them in pieces, and sent them throughout the territory of Israel by the hand of messengers, saying, " Whoever does not come out after Saul and after Samuel, so shall it be done to his oxen." Then the dread of the LORD fell on the people, and they came out as one man.

nasb@1Samuel:10:8 @He numbered them in Bezek; and the sons of Israel were 300,000, and the men of Judah 30,000.

nasb@1Samuel:10:9 @They said to the messengers who had come, "Thus you shall say to the men of Jabesh-gilead, 'Tomorrow, by the time the sun is hot, you will have deliverance.'" So the messengers went and told the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.

nasb@1Samuel:10:10 @Then the men of Jabesh said, " Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you."

nasb@1Samuel:10:11 @The next morning Saul put the people in three companies; and they came into the midst of the camp at the morning watch and struck down the Ammonites until the heat of the day. Those who survived were scattered, so that no two of them were left together.

nasb@1Samuel:10:12 @Then the people said to Samuel, " Who is he that said, 'Shall Saul reign over us?' Bring the men, that we may put them to death."

nasb@1Samuel:10:14 @Then Samuel said to the people, "Come and let us go to Gilgal and renew the kingdom there."

nasb@1Samuel:10:15 @So all the people went to Gilgal, and there they made Saul king before the LORD in Gilgal. There they also offered sacrifices of peace offerings before the LORD; and there Saul and all the men of Israel rejoiced greatly.

nasb@1Samuel:10:12 @Then Samuel said to all Israel, "Behold, I have listened to your voice in all that you said to me and I have appointed a king over you.

nasb@1Samuel:10:3" @Here I am; bear witness against me before the LORD and His anointed. Whose ox have I taken, or whose donkey have I taken, or whom have I defrauded? Whom have I oppressed, or from whose hand have I taken a bribe to blind my eyes with it? I will restore it to you."

nasb@1Samuel:10:12" @When you saw that Nahash the king of the sons of Ammon came against you, you said to me, ' No, but a king shall reign over us,' although the LORD your God was your king.

nasb@1Samuel:10:22" @For the LORD will not abandon His people on account of His great name, because the LORD has been pleased to make you a people for Himself.

nasb@1Samuel:10:23" @Moreover, as for me, far be it from me that I should sin against the LORD by ceasing to pray for you; but I will instruct you in the good and right way.

nasb@1Samuel:11:2 @Now Saul chose for himself 3,000 men of Israel, of which 2,000 were with Saul in Michmash and in the hill country of Bethel, while 1,000 were with Jonathan at Gibeah of Benjamin. But he sent away the rest of the people, each to his tent.

nasb@1Samuel:11:4 @All Israel heard the news that Saul had smitten the garrison of the Philistines, and also that Israel had become odious to the Philistines. The people were then summoned to Saul at Gilgal.

nasb@1Samuel:11:5 @Now the Philistines assembled to fight with Israel, 30,000 chariots and 6,000 horsemen, and people like the sand which is on the seashore in abundance; and they came up and camped in Michmash, east of Beth-aven.

nasb@1Samuel:11:6 @When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were hard-pressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in cliffs, in cellars, and in pits.

nasb@1Samuel:11:7 @Also some of the Hebrews crossed the Jordan into the land of Gad and Gilead. But as for Saul, he was still in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling.

nasb@1Samuel:11:8 @Now he waited seven days, according to the appointed time set by Samuel, but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were scattering from him.

nasb@1Samuel:11:9 @So Saul said, "Bring to me the burnt offering and the peace offerings." And he offered the burnt offering.

nasb@1Samuel:11:10 @As soon as he finished offering the burnt offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him and to greet him.

nasb@1Samuel:11:11 @But Samuel said, "What have you done?" And Saul said, "Because I saw that the people were scattering from me, and that you did not come within the appointed days, and that the Philistines were assembling at Michmash,

nasb@1Samuel:11:12 @therefore I said, 'Now the Philistines will come down against me at Gilgal, and I have not asked the favor of the LORD.' So I forced myself and offered the burnt offering."

nasb@1Samuel:11:13 @Samuel said to Saul, " You have acted foolishly; you have not kept the commandment of the LORD your God, which He commanded you, for now the LORD would have established your kingdom over Israel forever.

nasb@1Samuel:11:15 @Then Samuel arose and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered the people who were present with him, about six hundred men.

nasb@1Samuel:11:17 @And the raiders came from the camp of the Philistines in three companies- one company turned toward Ophrah, to the land of Shual,

nasb@1Samuel:11:22 @So it came about on the day of battle that neither sword nor spear was found in the hands of any of the people who were with Saul and Jonathan, but they were found with Saul and his son Jonathan.

nasb@1Samuel:12:1 @Now the day came that Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man who was carrying his armor, "Come and let us cross over to the Philistines' garrison that is on the other side." But he did not tell his father.

nasb@1Samuel:12:2 @Saul was staying in the outskirts of Gibeah under the pomegranate tree which is in Migron. And the people who were with him were about six hundred men,

nasb@1Samuel:12:4 @Between the passes by which Jonathan sought to cross over to the Philistines' garrison, there was a sharp crag on the one side and a sharp crag on the other side, and the name of the one was Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh.

nasb@1Samuel:12:6 @Then Jonathan said to the young man who was carrying his armor, "Come and let us cross over to the garrison of these uncircumcised; perhaps the LORD will work for us, for the LORD is not restrained to save by many or by few."

nasb@1Samuel:12:8 @Then Jonathan said, " Behold, we will cross over to the men and reveal ourselves to them.

nasb@1Samuel:12:9" @If they say to us, 'Wait until we come to you'; then we will stand in our place and not go up to them.

nasb@1Samuel:12:10" @But if they say, 'Come up to us,' then we will go up, for the LORD has given them into our hands; and this shall be the sign to us."

nasb@1Samuel:12:12 @So the men of the garrison hailed Jonathan and his armor bearer and said, "Come up to us and we will tell you something." And Jonathan said to his armor bearer, "Come up after me, for the LORD has given them into the hands of Israel."

nasb@1Samuel:12:13 @Then Jonathan climbed up on his hands and feet, with his armor bearer behind him; and they fell before Jonathan, and his armor bearer put some to death after him.

nasb@1Samuel:12:14 @That first slaughter which Jonathan and his armor bearer made was about twenty men within about half a furrow in an acre of land.

nasb@1Samuel:12:15 @And there was a trembling in the camp, in the field, and among all the people. Even the garrison and the raiders trembled, and the earth quaked so that it became a great trembling.

nasb@1Samuel:12:16 @Now Saul's watchmen in Gibeah of Benjamin looked, and behold, the multitude melted away; and they went here and there.

nasb@1Samuel:12:18 @Then Saul said to Ahijah, " Bring the ark of God here." For the ark of God was at that time with the sons of Israel.

nasb@1Samuel:12:20 @Then Saul and all the people who were with him rallied and came to the battle; and behold, every man's sword was against his fellow, and there was very great confusion.

nasb@1Samuel:12:22 @When all the men of Israel who had hidden themselves in the hill country of Ephraim heard that the Philistines had fled, even they also pursued them closely in the battle.

nasb@1Samuel:12:24 @Now the men of Israel were hard-pressed on that day, for Saul had put the people under oath, saying, "Cursed be the man who eats food before evening, and until I have avenged myself on my enemies." So none of the people tasted food.

nasb@1Samuel:12:33 @Then they told Saul, saying, "Behold, the people are sinning against the LORD by eating with the blood." And he said, "You have acted treacherously; roll a great stone to me today."

nasb@1Samuel:12:34 @Saul said, "Disperse yourselves among the people and say to them, 'Each one of you bring me his ox or his sheep, and slaughter it here and eat; and do not sin against the LORD by eating with the blood.'" So all the people that night brought each one his ox with him and slaughtered it there.

nasb@1Samuel:12:42 @Saul said, "Cast lots between me and Jonathan my son." And Jonathan was taken.

nasb@1Samuel:12:43 @Then Saul said to Jonathan, " Tell me what you have done." So Jonathan told him and said, " I indeed tasted a little honey with the end of the staff that was in my hand. Here I am, I must die!"

nasb@1Samuel:12:44 @Saul said, " May God do this to me and more also, for you shall surely die, Jonathan."

nasb@1Samuel:12:47 @Now when Saul had taken the kingdom over Israel, he fought against all his enemies on every side, against Moab, the sons of Ammon, Edom, the kings of Zobah, and the Philistines; and wherever he turned, he inflicted punishment.

nasb@1Samuel:12:49 @Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan and Ishvi and Malchi-shua; and the names of his two daughters were these- the name of the firstborn Merab and the name of the younger Michal.

nasb@1Samuel:12:50 @The name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam the daughter of Ahimaaz. And the name of the captain of his army was Abner the son of Ner, Saul's uncle.

nasb@1Samuel:12:15 @Then Samuel said to Saul, " The LORD sent me to anoint you as king over His people, over Israel; now therefore, listen to the words of the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:12:3 @'Now go and strike Amalek and utterly destroy all that he has, and do not spare him; but put to death both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.'"

nasb@1Samuel:12:4 @Then Saul summoned the people and numbered them in Telaim, 200,000 foot soldiers and 10,000 men of Judah.

nasb@1Samuel:12:5 @Saul came to the city of Amalek and set an ambush in the valley.

nasb@1Samuel:12:6 @Saul said to the Kenites, "Go, depart, go down from among the Amalekites, so that I do not destroy you with them; for you showed kindness to all the sons of Israel when they came up from Egypt." So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites.

nasb@1Samuel:12:10 @Then the word of the LORD came to Samuel, saying,

nasb@1Samuel:12:11" @ I regret that I have made Saul king, for he has turned back from following Me and has not carried out My commands." And Samuel was distressed and cried out to the LORD all night.

nasb@1Samuel:12:12 @Samuel rose early in the morning to meet Saul; and it was told Samuel, saying, "Saul came to Carmel, and behold, he set up a monument for himself, then turned and proceeded on down to Gilgal."

nasb@1Samuel:12:13 @Samuel came to Saul, and Saul said to him, " Blessed are you of the LORD! I have carried out the command of the LORD."

nasb@1Samuel:12:16 @Then Samuel said to Saul, "Wait, and let me tell you what the LORD said to me last night." And he said to him, "Speak!"

nasb@1Samuel:12:20 @Then Saul said to Samuel, " I did obey the voice of the LORD, and went on the mission on which the LORD sent me, and have brought back Agag the king of Amalek, and have utterly destroyed the Amalekites.

nasb@1Samuel:12:21" @But the people took some of the spoil, sheep and oxen, the choicest of the things devoted to destruction, to sacrifice to the LORD your God at Gilgal."

nasb@1Samuel:12:25" @Now therefore, please pardon my sin and return with me, that I may worship the LORD."

nasb@1Samuel:12:30 @Then he said, "I have sinned; but please honor me now before the elders of my people and before Israel, and go back with me, that I may worship the LORD your God."

nasb@1Samuel:12:32 @Then Samuel said, "Bring me Agag, the king of the Amalekites." And Agag came to him cheerfully. And Agag said, "Surely the bitterness of death is past."

nasb@1Samuel:12:33 @But Samuel said, " As your sword has made women childless, so shall your mother be childless among women." And Samuel hewed Agag to pieces before the LORD at Gilgal.

nasb@1Samuel:13:2 @But Samuel said, "How can I go? When Saul hears of it, he will kill me." And the LORD said, " Take a heifer with you and say, 'I have come to sacrifice to the LORD.'

nasb@1Samuel:13:3" @You shall invite Jesse to the sacrifice, and I will show you what you shall do; and you shall anoint for Me the one whom I designate to you."

nasb@1Samuel:13:4 @So Samuel did what the LORD said, and came to Bethlehem. And the elders of the city came trembling to meet him and said, " Do you come in peace?"

nasb@1Samuel:13:5 @He said, "In peace; I have come to sacrifice to the LORD. Consecrate yourselves and come with me to the sacrifice." He also consecrated Jesse and his sons and invited them to the sacrifice.

nasb@1Samuel:13:11 @And Samuel said to Jesse, "Are these all the children?" And he said, " There remains yet the youngest, and behold, he is tending the sheep." Then Samuel said to Jesse, "Send and bring him; for we will not sit down until he comes here."

nasb@1Samuel:13:12 @So he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, with beautiful eyes and a handsome appearance. And the LORD said, " Arise, anoint him; for this is he."

nasb@1Samuel:13:13 @Then Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the midst of his brothers; and the Spirit of the LORD came mightily upon David from that day forward. And Samuel arose and went to Ramah.

nasb@1Samuel:13:16" @Let our lord now command your servants who are before you. Let them seek a man who is a skillful player on the harp; and it shall come about when the evil spirit from God is on you, that he shall play the harp with his hand, and you will be well."

nasb@1Samuel:13:17 @So Saul said to his servants, "Provide for me now a man who can play well and bring him to me."

nasb@1Samuel:13:18 @Then one of the young men said, "Behold, I have seen a son of Jesse the Bethlehemite who is a skillful musician, a mighty man of valor, a warrior, one prudent in speech, and a handsome man; and the LORD is with him."

nasb@1Samuel:13:19 @So Saul sent messengers to Jesse and said, "Send me your son David who is with the flock."

nasb@1Samuel:13:21 @Then David came to Saul and attended him; and Saul loved him greatly, and he became his armor bearer.

nasb@1Samuel:13:22 @Saul sent to Jesse, saying, "Let David now stand before me, for he has found favor in my sight."

nasb@1Samuel:13:23 @So it came about whenever the evil spirit from God came to Saul, David would take the harp and play it with his hand; and Saul would be refreshed and be well, and the evil spirit would depart from him.

nasb@1Samuel:14:2 @Saul and the men of Israel were gathered and camped in the valley of Elah, and drew up in battle array to encounter the Philistines.

nasb@1Samuel:14:4 @Then a champion came out from the armies of the Philistines named Goliath, from Gath, whose height was six cubits and a span.

nasb@1Samuel:14:5 @He had a bronze helmet on his head, and he was clothed with scale-armor which weighed five thousand shekels of bronze.

nasb@1Samuel:14:8 @He stood and shouted to the ranks of Israel and said to them, "Why do you come out to draw up in battle array? Am I not the Philistine and you servants of Saul? Choose a man for yourselves and let him come down to me.

nasb@1Samuel:14:9" @ If he is able to fight with me and kill me, then we will become your servants; but if I prevail against him and kill him, then you shall become our servants and serve us."

nasb@1Samuel:14:10 @Again the Philistine said, " I defy the ranks of Israel this day; give me a man that we may fight together."

nasb@1Samuel:14:12 @Now David was the son of the Ephrathite of Bethlehem in Judah, whose name was Jesse, and he had eight sons. And Jesse was old in the days of Saul, advanced in years among men.

nasb@1Samuel:14:13 @The three older sons of Jesse had gone after Saul to the battle. And the names of his three sons who went to the battle were Eliab the firstborn, and the second to him Abinadab, and the third Shammah.

nasb@1Samuel:14:16 @The Philistine came forward morning and evening for forty days and took his stand.

nasb@1Samuel:14:19" @For Saul and they and all the men of Israel are in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines."

nasb@1Samuel:14:20 @So David arose early in the morning and left the flock with a keeper and took the supplies and went as Jesse had commanded him. And he came to the circle of the camp while the army was going out in battle array shouting the war cry.

nasb@1Samuel:14:23 @As he was talking with them, behold, the champion, the Philistine from Gath named Goliath, was coming up from the army of the Philistines, and he spoke these same words; and David heard them.

nasb@1Samuel:14:24 @When all the men of Israel saw the man, they fled from him and were greatly afraid.

nasb@1Samuel:14:25 @The men of Israel said, "Have you seen this man who is coming up? Surely he is coming up to defy Israel. And it will be that the king will enrich the man who kills him with great riches and will give him his daughter and make his father's house free in Israel."

nasb@1Samuel:14:26 @Then David spoke to the men who were standing by him, saying, "What will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should taunt the armies of the living God?"

nasb@1Samuel:14:28 @Now Eliab his oldest brother heard when he spoke to the men; and Eliab's anger burned against David and he said, "Why have you come down? And with whom have you left those few sheep in the wilderness? I know your insolence and the wickedness of your heart; for you have come down in order to see the battle."

nasb@1Samuel:14:30 @Then he turned away from him to another and said the same thing; and the people answered the same thing as before.

nasb@1Samuel:14:34 @But David said to Saul, "Your servant was tending his father's sheep. When a lion or a bear came and took a lamb from the flock,

nasb@1Samuel:14:35 @I went out after him and attacked him, and rescued it from his mouth; and when he rose up against me, I seized him by his beard and struck him and killed him.

nasb@1Samuel:14:37 @And David said, " The LORD who delivered me from the paw of the lion and from the paw of the bear, He will deliver me from the hand of this Philistine." And Saul said to David, " Go, and may the LORD be with you."

nasb@1Samuel:14:38 @Then Saul clothed David with his garments and put a bronze helmet on his head, and he clothed him with armor.

nasb@1Samuel:14:41 @Then the Philistine came on and approached David, with the shield-bearer in front of him.

nasb@1Samuel:14:42 @When the Philistine looked and saw David, he disdained him; for he was but a youth, and ruddy, with a handsome appearance.

nasb@1Samuel:14:43 @The Philistine said to David, " Am I a dog, that you come to me with sticks?" And the Philistine cursed David by his gods.

nasb@1Samuel:14:44 @The Philistine also said to David, "Come to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the sky and the beasts of the field."

nasb@1Samuel:14:45 @Then David said to the Philistine, "You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have taunted.

nasb@1Samuel:14:48 @Then it happened when the Philistine rose and came and drew near to meet David, that David ran quickly toward the battle line to meet the Philistine.

nasb@1Samuel:14:52 @The men of Israel and Judah arose and shouted and pursued the Philistines as far as the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the slain Philistines lay along the way to Shaaraim, even to Gath and Ekron.

nasb@1Samuel:15:1 @Now it came about when he had finished speaking to Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as himself.

nasb@1Samuel:15:5 @So David went out wherever Saul sent him, and prospered; and Saul set him over the men of war. And it was pleasing in the sight of all the people and also in the sight of Saul's servants.

nasb@1Samuel:15:6 @It happened as they were coming, when David returned from killing the Philistine, that the women came out of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet King Saul, with tambourines, with joy and with musical instruments.

nasb@1Samuel:15:7 @The women sang as they played, and said, " Saul has slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands."

nasb@1Samuel:15:8 @Then Saul became very angry, for this saying displeased him; and he said, "They have ascribed to David ten thousands, but to me they have ascribed thousands. Now what more can he have but the kingdom?"

nasb@1Samuel:15:10 @Now it came about on the next day that an evil spirit from God came mightily upon Saul, and he raved in the midst of the house, while David was playing the harp with his hand, as usual; and a spear was in Saul's hand.

nasb@1Samuel:15:13 @Therefore Saul removed him from his presence and appointed him as his commander of a thousand; and he went out and came in before the people.

nasb@1Samuel:15:16 @But all Israel and Judah loved David, and he went out and came in before them.

nasb@1Samuel:15:17 @Then Saul said to David, " Here is my older daughter Merab; I will give her to you as a wife, only be a valiant man for me and fight the LORD'S battles." For Saul thought, "My hand shall not be against him, but let the hand of the Philistines be against him."

nasb@1Samuel:15:19 @So it came about at the time when Merab, Saul's daughter, should have been given to David, that she was given to Adriel the Meholathite for a wife.

nasb@1Samuel:15:21 @Saul thought, "I will give her to him that she may become a snare to him, and that the hand of the Philistines may be against him." Therefore Saul said to David, " For a second time you may be my son-in-law today."

nasb@1Samuel:15:22 @Then Saul commanded his servants, "Speak to David secretly, saying, 'Behold, the king delights in you, and all his servants love you; now therefore, become the king's son-in-law.'"

nasb@1Samuel:15:23 @So Saul's servants spoke these words to David. But David said, "Is it trivial in your sight to become the king's son-in-law, since I am a poor man and lightly esteemed?"

nasb@1Samuel:15:26 @When his servants told David these words, it pleased David to become the king's son-in-law. Before the days had expired

nasb@1Samuel:15:27 @David rose up and went, he and his men, and struck down two hundred men among the Philistines. Then David brought their foreskins, and they gave them in full number to the king, that he might become the king's son-in-law. So Saul gave him Michal his daughter for a wife.

nasb@1Samuel:15:30 @Then the commanders of the Philistines went out to battle, and it happened as often as they went out, that David behaved himself more wisely than all the servants of Saul. So his name was highly esteemed.

nasb@1Samuel:16:7 @Then Jonathan called David, and Jonathan told him all these words. And Jonathan brought David to Saul, and he was in his presence as formerly.

nasb@1Samuel:16:11 @Then Saul sent messengers to David's house to watch him, in order to put him to death in the morning. But Michal, David's wife, told him, saying, "If you do not save your life tonight, tomorrow you will be put to death."

nasb@1Samuel:16:14 @When Saul sent messengers to take David, she said, " He is sick."

nasb@1Samuel:16:15 @Then Saul sent messengers to see David, saying, "Bring him up to me on his bed, that I may put him to death."

nasb@1Samuel:16:16 @When the messengers entered, behold, the household idol was on the bed with the quilt of goats' hair at its head.

nasb@1Samuel:16:17 @So Saul said to Michal, "Why have you deceived me like this and let my enemy go, so that he has escaped?" And Michal said to Saul, "He said to me, 'Let me go! Why should I put you to death?'"

nasb@1Samuel:16:18 @Now David fled and escaped and came to Samuel at Ramah, and told him all that Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and stayed in Naioth.

nasb@1Samuel:16:20 @Then Saul sent messengers to take David, but when they saw the company of the prophets prophesying, with Samuel standing and presiding over them, the Spirit of God came upon the messengers of Saul; and they also prophesied.

nasb@1Samuel:16:21 @When it was told Saul, he sent other messengers, and they also prophesied. So Saul sent messengers again the third time, and they also prophesied.

nasb@1Samuel:16:22 @Then he himself went to Ramah and came as far as the large well that is in Secu; and he asked and said, "Where are Samuel and David?" And someone said, "Behold, they are at Naioth in Ramah."

nasb@1Samuel:16:23 @He proceeded there to Naioth in Ramah; and the Spirit of God came upon him also, so that he went along prophesying continually until he came to Naioth in Ramah.

nasb@1Samuel:17:1 @Then David fled from Naioth in Ramah, and came and said to Jonathan, "What have I done? What is my iniquity? And what is my sin before your father, that he is seeking my life?"

nasb@1Samuel:17:2 @He said to him, "Far from it, you shall not die. Behold, my father does nothing either great or small without disclosing it to me. So why should my father hide this thing from me? It is not so!"

nasb@1Samuel:17:3 @Yet David vowed again, saying, "Your father knows well that I have found favor in your sight, and he has said, 'Do not let Jonathan know this, or he will be grieved.' But truly as the LORD lives and as your soul lives, there is hardly a step between me and death."

nasb@1Samuel:17:5 @So David said to Jonathan, "Behold, tomorrow is the new moon, and I ought to sit down to eat with the king. But let me go, that I may hide myself in the field until the third evening.

nasb@1Samuel:17:6" @If your father misses me at all, then say, 'David earnestly asked leave of me to run to Bethlehem his city, because it is the yearly sacrifice there for the whole family.'

nasb@1Samuel:17:8" @Therefore deal kindly with your servant, for you have brought your servant into a covenant of the LORD with you. But if there is iniquity in me, put me to death yourself; for why then should you bring me to your father?"

nasb@1Samuel:17:9 @Jonathan said, "Far be it from you! For if I should indeed learn that evil has been decided by my father to come upon you, then would I not tell you about it?"

nasb@1Samuel:17:10 @Then David said to Jonathan, "Who will tell me if your father answers you harshly?"

nasb@1Samuel:17:11 @Jonathan said to David, "Come, and let us go out into the field." So both of them went out to the field.

nasb@1Samuel:17:12 @Then Jonathan said to David, "The LORD, the God of Israel, be witness! When I have sounded out my father about this time tomorrow, or the third day, behold, if there is good feeling toward David, shall I not then send to you and make it known to you?

nasb@1Samuel:17:14" @If I am still alive, will you not show me the lovingkindness of the LORD, that I may not die?

nasb@1Samuel:17:19" @When you have stayed for three days, you shall go down quickly and come to the place where you hid yourself on that eventful day, and you shall remain by the stone Ezel.

nasb@1Samuel:17:21" @And behold, I will send the lad, saying, 'Go, find the arrows.' If I specifically say to the lad, 'Behold, the arrows are on this side of you, get them,' then come; for there is safety for you and no harm, as the LORD lives.

nasb@1Samuel:17:23" @ As for the agreement of which you and I have spoken, behold, the LORD is between you and me forever."

nasb@1Samuel:17:24 @So David hid in the field; and when the new moon came, the king sat down to eat food.

nasb@1Samuel:17:27 @It came about the next day, the second day of the new moon, that David's place was empty; so Saul said to Jonathan his son, "Why has the son of Jesse not come to the meal, either yesterday or today?"

nasb@1Samuel:17:28 @Jonathan then answered Saul, " David earnestly asked leave of me to go to Bethlehem,

nasb@1Samuel:17:29 @for he said, 'Please let me go, since our family has a sacrifice in the city, and my brother has commanded me to attend. And now, if I have found favor in your sight, please let me get away that I may see my brothers.' For this reason he has not come to the king's table."

nasb@1Samuel:17:30 @Then Saul's anger burned against Jonathan and he said to him, "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you are choosing the son of Jesse to your own shame and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?

nasb@1Samuel:17:31" @For as long as the son of Jesse lives on the earth, neither you nor your kingdom will be established. Therefore now, send and bring him to me, for he must surely die."

nasb@1Samuel:17:35 @Now it came about in the morning that Jonathan went out into the field for the appointment with David, and a little lad was with him.

nasb@1Samuel:17:38 @And Jonathan called after the lad, "Hurry, be quick, do not stay!" And Jonathan's lad picked up the arrow and came to his master.

nasb@1Samuel:17:41 @When the lad was gone, David rose from the south side and fell on his face to the ground, and bowed three times. And they kissed each other and wept together, but David wept the more.

nasb@1Samuel:17:42 @Jonathan said to David, " Go in safety, inasmuch as we have sworn to each other in the name of the LORD, saying, ' The LORD will be between me and you, and between my descendants and your descendants forever.'" Then he rose and departed, while Jonathan went into the city.

nasb@1Samuel:18:1 @Then David came to Nob to Ahimelech the priest; and Ahimelech came trembling to meet David and said to him, "Why are you alone and no one with you?"

nasb@1Samuel:18:2 @David said to Ahimelech the priest, "The king has commissioned me with a matter and has said to me, ' Let no one know anything about the matter on which I am sending you and with which I have commissioned you; and I have directed the young men to a certain place.'

nasb@1Samuel:18:3" @Now therefore, what do you have on hand? Give me five loaves of bread, or whatever can be found."

nasb@1Samuel:18:4 @The priest answered David and said, "There is no ordinary bread on hand, but there is consecrated bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women."

nasb@1Samuel:18:5 @David answered the priest and said to him, " Surely women have been kept from us as previously when I set out and the vessels of the young men were holy, though it was an ordinary journey; how much more then today will their vessels be holy?"

nasb@1Samuel:18:7 @Now one of the servants of Saul was there that day, detained before the LORD; and his name was Doeg the Edomite, the chief of Saul's shepherds.

nasb@1Samuel:18:8 @David said to Ahimelech, "Now is there not a spear or a sword on hand? For I brought neither my sword nor my weapons with me, because the king's matter was urgent."

nasb@1Samuel:18:9 @Then the priest said, " The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you killed in the valley of Elah, behold, it is wrapped in a cloth behind the ephod; if you would take it for yourself, take it. For there is no other except it here." And David said, "There is none like it; give it to me."

nasb@1Samuel:18:14 @Then Achish said to his servants, "Behold, you see the man behaving as a madman. Why do you bring him to me?

nasb@1Samuel:18:15" @Do I lack madmen, that you have brought this one to act the madman in my presenceNULL Shall this one come into my houseNULL"

nasb@1Samuel:19:2 @Everyone who was in distress, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was discontented gathered to him; and he became captain over them. Now there were about four hundred men with him.

nasb@1Samuel:19:3 @And David went from there to Mizpah of Moab; and he said to the king of Moab, "Please let my father and my mother come and stay with you until I know what God will do for me."

nasb@1Samuel:19:4 @Then he left them with the king of Moab; and they stayed with him all the time that David was in the stronghold.

nasb@1Samuel:19:6 @Then Saul heard that David and the men who were with him had been discovered. Now Saul was sitting in Gibeah, under the tamarisk tree on the height with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were standing around him.

nasb@1Samuel:19:8" @For all of you have conspired against me so that there is no one who discloses to me when my son makes a covenant with the son of Jesse, and there is none of you who is sorry for me or discloses to me that my son has stirred up my servant against me to lie in ambush, as it is this day."

nasb@1Samuel:19:9 @Then Doeg the Edomite, who was standing by the servants of Saul, said, " I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech the son of Ahitub.

nasb@1Samuel:19:11 @Then the king sent someone to summon Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and all his father's household, the priests who were in Nob; and all of them came to the king.

nasb@1Samuel:19:13 @Saul then said to him, "Why have you and the son of Jesse conspired against me, in that you have given him bread and a sword and have inquired of God for him, so that he would rise up against me by lying in ambush as it is this day?"

nasb@1Samuel:19:14 @Then Ahimelech answered the king and said, "And who among all your servants is as faithful as David, even the king's son-in-law, who is captain over your guard, and is honored in your house?

nasb@1Samuel:19:15" @Did I just begin to inquire of God for him today? Far be it from me! Do not let the king impute anything to his servant or to any of the household of my father, for your servant knows nothing at all of this whole affair."

nasb@1Samuel:19:16 @But the king said, "You shall surely die, Ahimelech, you and all your father's household!"

nasb@1Samuel:19:17 @And the king said to the guards who were attending him, "Turn around and put the priests of the LORD to death, because their hand also is with David and because they knew that he was fleeing and did not reveal it to me." But the servants of the king were not willing to put forth their hands to attack the priests of the LORD.

nasb@1Samuel:19:18 @Then the king said to Doeg, "You turn around and attack the priests." And Doeg the Edomite turned around and attacked the priests, and he killed that day eighty-five men who wore the linen ephod.

nasb@1Samuel:19:19 @And he struck Nob the city of the priests with the edge of the sword, both men and women, children and infants; also oxen, donkeys, and sheep he struck with the edge of the sword.

nasb@1Samuel:19:20 @But one son of Ahimelech the son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped and fled after David.

nasb@1Samuel:19:23" @Stay with me; do not be afraid, for he who seeks my life seeks your life, for you are safe with me."

nasb@1Samuel:20:3 @But David's men said to him, "Behold, we are afraid here in Judah. How much more then if we go to Keilah against the ranks of the Philistines?"

nasb@1Samuel:20:5 @So David and his men went to Keilah and fought with the Philistines; and he led away their livestock and struck them with a great slaughter. Thus David delivered the inhabitants of Keilah.

nasb@1Samuel:20:6 @Now it came about, when Abiathar the son of Ahimelech fled to David at Keilah, that he came down with an ephod in his hand.

nasb@1Samuel:20:7 @When it was told Saul that David had come to Keilah, Saul said, "God has delivered him into my hand, for he shut himself in by entering a city with double gates and bars."

nasb@1Samuel:20:8 @So Saul summoned all the people for war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.

nasb@1Samuel:20:10 @Then David said, "O LORD God of Israel, Your servant has heard for certain that Saul is seeking to come to Keilah to destroy the city on my account.

nasb@1Samuel:20:11" @Will the men of Keilah surrender me into his hand? Will Saul come down just as Your servant has heard? O LORD God of Israel, I pray, tell Your servant." And the LORD said, "He will come down."

nasb@1Samuel:20:12 @Then David said, "Will the men of Keilah surrender me and my men into the hand of Saul?" And the LORD said, " They will surrender you."

nasb@1Samuel:20:13 @Then David and his men, about six hundred, arose and departed from Keilah, and they went wherever they could go. When it was told Saul that David had escaped from Keilah, he gave up the pursuit.

nasb@1Samuel:20:15 @Now David became aware that Saul had come out to seek his life while David was in the wilderness of Ziph at Horesh.

nasb@1Samuel:20:19 @Then Ziphites came up to Saul at Gibeah, saying, "Is David not hiding with us in the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah, which is on the south of Jeshimon?

nasb@1Samuel:20:20" @Now then, O king, come down according to all the desire of your soul to do so; and our part shall be to surrender him into the king's hand."

nasb@1Samuel:20:21 @Saul said, "May you be blessed of the LORD, for you have had compassion on me.

nasb@1Samuel:20:23" @So look, and learn about all the hiding places where he hides himself and return to me with certainty, and I will go with you; and if he is in the land, I will search him out among all the thousands of Judah."

nasb@1Samuel:20:24 @Then they arose and went to Ziph before Saul. Now David and his men were in the wilderness of Maon, in the Arabah to the south of Jeshimon.

nasb@1Samuel:20:25 @When Saul and his men went to seek him, they told David, and he came down to the rock and stayed in the wilderness of Maon. And when Saul heard it, he pursued David in the wilderness of Maon.

nasb@1Samuel:20:26 @Saul went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men on the other side of the mountain; and David was hurrying to get away from Saul, for Saul and his men were surrounding David and his men to seize them.

nasb@1Samuel:20:27 @But a messenger came to Saul, saying, "Hurry and come, for the Philistines have made a raid on the land."

nasb@1Samuel:20:28 @So Saul returned from pursuing David and went to meet the Philistines; therefore they called that place the Rock of Escape.

nasb@1Samuel:21:2 @Then Saul took three thousand chosen men from all Israel and went to seek David and his men in front of the Rocks of the Wild Goats.

nasb@1Samuel:21:3 @He came to the sheepfolds on the way, where there was a cave; and Saul went in to relieve himself. Now David and his men were sitting in the inner recesses of the cave.

nasb@1Samuel:21:4 @The men of David said to him, "Behold, this is the day of which the LORD said to you, 'Behold; I am about to give your enemy into your hand, and you shall do to him as it seems good to you.'" Then David arose and cut off the edge of Saul's robe secretly.

nasb@1Samuel:21:5 @It came about afterward that David's conscience bothered him because he had cut off the edge of Saul's robe.

nasb@1Samuel:21:6 @So he said to his men, " Far be it from me because of the LORD that I should do this thing to my lord, the LORD'S anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, since he is the LORD'S anointed."

nasb@1Samuel:21:7 @David persuaded his men with these words and did not allow them to rise up against Saul. And Saul arose, left the cave, and went on his way.

nasb@1Samuel:21:9 @David said to Saul, "Why do you listen to the words of men, saying, 'Behold, David seeks to harm you'?

nasb@1Samuel:21:10" @ Behold, this day your eyes have seen that the LORD had given you today into my hand in the cave, and some said to kill you, but my eye had pity on you; and I said, 'I will not stretch out my hand against my lord, for he is the LORD'S anointed.'

nasb@1Samuel:21:12" @ May the LORD judge between you and me, and may the LORD avenge me on you; but my hand shall not be against you.

nasb@1Samuel:21:13" @As the proverb of the ancients says, ' Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness'; but my hand shall not be against you.

nasb@1Samuel:21:14" @After whom has the king of Israel come out? Whom are you pursuing? A dead dog, a single flea?

nasb@1Samuel:21:15" @ The LORD therefore be judge and decide between you and me; and may He see and plead my cause and deliver me from your hand."

nasb@1Samuel:21:17 @He said to David, "You are more righteous than I; for you have dealt well with me, while I have dealt wickedly with you.

nasb@1Samuel:21:18" @You have declared today that you have done good to me, that the LORD delivered me into your hand and yet you did not kill me.

nasb@1Samuel:21:19" @For if a man finds his enemy, will he let him go away safely? May the LORD therefore reward you with good in return for what you have done to me this day.

nasb@1Samuel:21:21" @So now swear to me by the LORD that you will not cut off my descendants after me and that you will not destroy my name from my father's household."

nasb@1Samuel:21:22 @David swore to Saul. And Saul went to his home, but David and his men went up to the stronghold.

nasb@1Samuel:22:2 @Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel; and the man was very rich, and he had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats. And it came about while he was shearing his sheep in Carmel

nasb@1Samuel:22:3 @(now the man's name was Nabal, and his wife's name was Abigail. And the woman was intelligent and beautiful in appearance, but the man was harsh and evil in his dealings, and he was a Calebite),

nasb@1Samuel:22:5 @So David sent ten young men; and David said to the young men, "Go up to Carmel, visit Nabal and greet him in my name;

nasb@1Samuel:22:7 @'Now I have heard that you have shearers; now your shepherds have been with us and we have not insulted them, nor have they missed anything all the days they were in Carmel.

nasb@1Samuel:22:8 @'Ask your young men and they will tell you. Therefore let my young men find favor in your eyes, for we have come on a festive day. Please give whatever you find at hand to your servants and to your son David.'"

nasb@1Samuel:22:9 @When David's young men came, they spoke to Nabal according to all these words in David's name; then they waited.

nasb@1Samuel:22:11" @Shall I then take my bread and my water and my meat that I have slaughtered for my shearers, and give it to men whose origin I do not know?"

nasb@1Samuel:22:12 @So David's young men retraced their way and went back; and they came and told him according to all these words.

nasb@1Samuel:22:13 @David said to his men, "Each of you gird on his sword." So each man girded on his sword. And David also girded on his sword, and about four hundred men went up behind David while two hundred stayed with the baggage.

nasb@1Samuel:22:14 @But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal's wife, saying, "Behold, David sent messengers from the wilderness to greet our master, and he scorned them.

nasb@1Samuel:22:15" @Yet the men were very good to us, and we were not insulted, nor did we miss anything as long as we went about with them, while we were in the fields.

nasb@1Samuel:22:16" @ They were a wall to us both by night and by day, all the time we were with them tending the sheep.

nasb@1Samuel:22:18 @Then Abigail hurried and took two hundred loaves of bread and two jugs of wine and five sheep already prepared and five measures of roasted grain and a hundred clusters of raisins and two hundred cakes of figs, and loaded them on donkeys.

nasb@1Samuel:22:19 @She said to her young men, " Go on before me; behold, I am coming after you." But she did not tell her husband Nabal.

nasb@1Samuel:22:20 @It came about as she was riding on her donkey and coming down by the hidden part of the mountain, that behold, David and his men were coming down toward her; so she met them.

nasb@1Samuel:22:21 @Now David had said, "Surely in vain I have guarded all that this man has in the wilderness, so that nothing was missed of all that belonged to him; and he has returned me evil for good.

nasb@1Samuel:22:24 @She fell at his feet and said, "On me alone, my lord, be the blame. And please let your maidservant speak to you, and listen to the words of your maidservant.

nasb@1Samuel:22:25" @Please do not let my lord pay attention to this worthless man, Nabal, for as his name is, so is he. Nabal is his name and folly is with him; but I your maidservant did not see the young men of my lord whom you sent.

nasb@1Samuel:22:27" @Now let this gift which your maidservant has brought to my lord be given to the young men who accompany my lord.

nasb@1Samuel:22:31 @this will not cause grief or a troubled heart to my lord, both by having shed blood without cause and by my lord having avenged himself. When the LORD deals well with my lord, then remember your maidservant."

nasb@1Samuel:22:32 @Then David said to Abigail, " Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who sent you this day to meet me,

nasb@1Samuel:22:33 @and blessed be your discernment, and blessed be you, who have kept me this day from bloodshed and from avenging myself by my own hand.

nasb@1Samuel:22:34" @Nevertheless, as the LORD God of Israel lives, who has restrained me from harming you, unless you had come quickly to meet me, surely there would not have been left to Nabal until the morning light as much as one male."

nasb@1Samuel:22:36 @Then Abigail came to Nabal, and behold, he was holding a feast in his house, like the feast of a king. And Nabal's heart was merry within him, for he was very drunk; so she did not tell him anything at all until the morning light.

nasb@1Samuel:22:37 @But in the morning, when the wine had gone out of Nabal, his wife told him these things, and his heart died within him so that he became as a stone.

nasb@1Samuel:22:40 @When the servants of David came to Abigail at Carmel, they spoke to her, saying, "David has sent us to you to take you as his wife."

nasb@1Samuel:22:42 @Then Abigail quickly arose, and rode on a donkey, with her five maidens who attended her; and she followed the messengers of David and became his wife.

nasb@1Samuel:22:43 @David had also taken Ahinoam of Jezreel, and they both became his wives.

nasb@1Samuel:23:1 @Then the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, saying, " Is not David hiding on the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon?"

nasb@1Samuel:23:2 @So Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, having with him three thousand chosen men of Israel, to search for David in the wilderness of Ziph.

nasb@1Samuel:23:3 @Saul camped in the hill of Hachilah, which is before Jeshimon, beside the road, and David was staying in the wilderness. When he saw that Saul came after him into the wilderness,

nasb@1Samuel:23:5 @David then arose and came to the place where Saul had camped. And David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army; and Saul was lying in the circle of the camp, and the people were camped around him.

nasb@1Samuel:23:6 @Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, Joab's brother, saying, "Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?" And Abishai said, "I will go down with you."

nasb@1Samuel:23:7 @So David and Abishai came to the people by night, and behold, Saul lay sleeping inside the circle of the camp with his spear stuck in the ground at his head; and Abner and the people were lying around him.

nasb@1Samuel:23:8 @Then Abishai said to David, "Today God has delivered your enemy into your hand; now therefore, please let me strike him with the spear to the ground with one stroke, and I will not strike him the second time."

nasb@1Samuel:23:10 @David also said, "As the LORD lives, surely the LORD will strike him, or his day will come that he dies, or he will go down into battle and perish.

nasb@1Samuel:23:15 @So David said to Abner, "Are you not a man? And who is like you in Israel? Why then have you not guarded your lord the king? For one of the people came to destroy the king your lord.

nasb@1Samuel:23:19" @Now therefore, please let my lord the king listen to the words of his servant. If the LORD has stirred you up against me, let Him accept an offering; but if it is men, cursed are they before the LORD, for they have driven me out today so that I would have no attachment with the inheritance of the LORD, saying, 'Go, serve other gods.'

nasb@1Samuel:23:20" @Now then, do not let my blood fall to the ground away from the presence of the LORD; for the king of Israel has come out to search for a single flea, just as one hunts a partridge in the mountains."

nasb@1Samuel:23:22 @David replied, "Behold the spear of the king! Now let one of the young men come over and take it.

nasb@1Samuel:23:24" @Now behold, as your life was highly valued in my sight this day, so may my life be highly valued in the sight of the LORD, and may He deliver me from all distress."

nasb@1Samuel:24:1 @Then David said to himself, "Now I will perish one day by the hand of Saul. There is nothing better for me than to escape into the land of the Philistines. Saul then will despair of searching for me anymore in all the territory of Israel, and I will escape from his hand."

nasb@1Samuel:24:2 @So David arose and crossed over, he and the six hundred men who were with him, to Achish the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

nasb@1Samuel:24:3 @And David lived with Achish at Gath, he and his men, each with his household, even David with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the Carmelitess, Nabal's widow.

nasb@1Samuel:24:5 @Then David said to Achish, "If now I have found favor in your sight, let them give me a place in one of the cities in the country, that I may live there; for why should your servant live in the royal city with you?"

nasb@1Samuel:24:8 @Now David and his men went up and raided the Geshurites and the Girzites and the Amalekites; for they were the inhabitants of the land from ancient times, as you come to Shur even as far as the land of Egypt.

nasb@1Samuel:24:9 @David attacked the land and did not leave a man or a woman alive, and he took away the sheep, the cattle, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing. Then he returned and came to Achish.

nasb@1Samuel:24:10 @Now Achish said, "Where have you made a raid today?" And David said, "Against the Negev of Judah and against the Negev of the Jerahmeelites and against the Negev of the Kenites."

nasb@1Samuel:24:11 @David did not leave a man or a woman alive to bring to Gath, saying, "Otherwise they will tell about us, saying, 'So has David done and so has been his practice all the time he has lived in the country of the Philistines.'"

nasb@1Samuel:25:1 @Now it came about in those days that the Philistines gathered their armed camps for war, to fight against Israel. And Achish said to David, "Know assuredly that you will go out with me in the camp, you and your men."

nasb@1Samuel:25:3 @Now Samuel was dead, and all Israel had lamented him and buried him in Ramah, his own city. And Saul had removed from the land those who were mediums and spiritists.

nasb@1Samuel:25:4 @So the Philistines gathered together and came and camped in Shunem; and Saul gathered all Israel together and they camped in Gilboa.

nasb@1Samuel:25:7 @Then Saul said to his servants, "Seek for me a woman who is a medium, that I may go to her and inquire of her." And his servants said to him, "Behold, there is a woman who is a medium at En-dor."

nasb@1Samuel:25:8 @Then Saul disguised himself by putting on other clothes, and went, he and two men with him, and they came to the woman by night; and he said, " Conjure up for me, please, and bring up for me whom I shall name to you."

nasb@1Samuel:25:9 @But the woman said to him, "Behold, you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off those who are mediums and spiritists from the land. Why are you then laying a snare for my life to bring about my death?"

nasb@1Samuel:25:10 @Saul vowed to her by the LORD, saying, "As the LORD lives, no punishment shall come upon you for this thing."

nasb@1Samuel:25:11 @Then the woman said, "Whom shall I bring up for you?" And he said, "Bring up Samuel for me."

nasb@1Samuel:25:12 @When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice; and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, "Why have you deceived me? For you are Saul."

nasb@1Samuel:25:15 @Then Samuel said to Saul, "Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?" And Saul answered, "I am greatly distressed; for the Philistines are waging war against me, and God has departed from me and no longer answers me, either through prophets or by dreams; therefore I have called you, that you may make known to me what I should do."

nasb@1Samuel:25:16 @Samuel said, "Why then do you ask me, since the LORD has departed from you and has become your adversary?

nasb@1Samuel:25:17" @The LORD has done accordingly as He spoke through me; for the LORD has torn the kingdom out of your hand and given it to your neighbor, to David.

nasb@1Samuel:25:19" @Moreover the LORD will also give over Israel along with you into the hands of the Philistines, therefore tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. Indeed the LORD will give over the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines!"

nasb@1Samuel:25:20 @Then Saul immediately fell full length upon the ground and was very afraid because of the words of Samuel; also there was no strength in him, for he had eaten no food all day and all night.

nasb@1Samuel:25:21 @The woman came to Saul and saw that he was terrified, and said to him, "Behold, your maidservant has obeyed you, and I have taken my life in my hand and have listened to your words which you spoke to me.

nasb@1Samuel:26:2 @And the lords of the Philistines were proceeding on by hundreds and by thousands, and David and his men were proceeding on in the rear with Achish.

nasb@1Samuel:26:3 @Then the commanders of the Philistines said, "What are these Hebrews doing here?"

nasb@1Samuel:26:4 @But the commanders of the Philistines were angry with him, and the commanders of the Philistines said to him, "Make the man go back, that he may return to his place where you have assigned him, and do not let him go down to battle with us, or in the battle he may become an adversary to us. For with what could this man make himself acceptable to his lord? Would it not be with the heads of these men?

nasb@1Samuel:26:6 @Then Achish called David and said to him, "As the LORD lives, you have been upright, and your going out and your coming in with me in the army are pleasing in my sight; for I have not found evil in you from the day of your coming to me to this day.

nasb@1Samuel:26:8 @David said to Achish, " But what have I done? And what have you found in your servant from the day when I came before you to this day, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?"

nasb@1Samuel:28:1 @Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel, and the men of Israel fled from before the Philistines and fell slain on Mount Gilboa.

nasb@1Samuel:28:4 @Then Saul said to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword and pierce me through with it, otherwise these uncircumcised will come and pierce me through and make sport of me." But his armor bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. So Saul took his sword and fell on it.

nasb@1Samuel:28:6 @Thus Saul died with his three sons, his armor bearer, and all his men on that day together.

nasb@1Samuel:28:7 @When the men of Israel who were on the other side of the valley, with those who were beyond the Jordan, saw that the men of Israel had fled and that Saul and his sons were dead, they abandoned the cities and fled; then the Philistines came and lived in them.

nasb@1Samuel:28:8 @It came about on the next day when the Philistines came to strip the slain, that they found Saul and his three sons fallen on Mount Gilboa.

nasb@1Samuel:28:12 @all the valiant men rose and walked all night, and took the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan, and they came to Jabesh and burned them there.

nasb@2Samuel:1:1 @Now it came about after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, that David remained two days in Ziklag.

nasb@2Samuel:1:2 @On the third day, behold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with his clothes torn and dust on his head. And it came about when he came to David that he fell to the ground and prostrated himself.

nasb@2Samuel:1:3 @Then David said to him, "From where do you come?" And he said to him, "I have escaped from the camp of Israel."

nasb@2Samuel:1:4 @David said to him, " How did things go? Please tell me." And he said, "The people have fled from the battle, and also many of the people have fallen and are dead; and Saul and Jonathan his son are dead also."

nasb@2Samuel:1:6 @The young man who told him said, "By chance I happened to be on Mount Gilboa, and behold, Saul was leaning on his spear. And behold, the chariots and the horsemen pursued him closely.

nasb@2Samuel:1:7" @When he looked behind him, he saw me and called to me. And I said, 'Here I am.'

nasb@2Samuel:1:8" @He said to me, 'Who are you?' And I answered him, ' I am an Amalekite.'

nasb@2Samuel:1:11 @Then David took hold of his clothes and tore them, and so also did all the men who were with him.

nasb@2Samuel:1:15 @And David called one of the young men and said, "Go, cut him down." So he struck him and he died.

nasb@2Samuel:1:17 @Then David chanted with this lament over Saul and Jonathan his son,

nasb@2Samuel:1:26" @I am distressed for you, my brother Jonathan; You have been very pleasant to me. Your love to me was more wonderful Than the love of women.

nasb@2Samuel:2:1 @Then it came about afterwards that David inquired of the LORD, saying, "Shall I go up to one of the cities of Judah?" And the LORD said to him, "Go up." So David said, "Where shall I go up?" And He said, " To Hebron."

nasb@2Samuel:2:2 @So David went up there, and his two wives also, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess and Abigail the widow of Nabal the Carmelite.

nasb@2Samuel:2:3 @And David brought up his men who were with him, each with his household; and they lived in the cities of Hebron.

nasb@2Samuel:2:4 @Then the men of Judah came and there anointed David king over the house of Judah. And they told David, saying, "It was the men of Jabesh-gilead who buried Saul."

nasb@2Samuel:2:5 @David sent messengers to the men of Jabesh-gilead, and said to them, " May you be blessed of the LORD because you have shown this kindness to Saul your lord, and have buried him.

nasb@2Samuel:2:10 @Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, was forty years old when he became king over Israel, and he was king for two years. The house of Judah, however, followed David.

nasb@2Samuel:2:13 @And Joab the son of Zeruiah and the servants of David went out and met them by the pool of Gibeon; and they sat down, one on the one side of the pool and the other on the other side of the pool.

nasb@2Samuel:2:14 @Then Abner said to Joab, "Now let the young men arise and hold a contest before us." And Joab said, "Let them arise."

nasb@2Samuel:2:17 @That day the battle was very severe, and Abner and the men of Israel were beaten before the servants of David.

nasb@2Samuel:2:21 @So Abner said to him, "Turn to your right or to your left, and take hold of one of the young men for yourself, and take for yourself his spoil." But Asahel was not willing to turn aside from following him.

nasb@2Samuel:2:22 @Abner repeated again to Asahel, "Turn aside from following me. Why should I strike you to the ground? How then could I lift up my face to your brother Joab?"

nasb@2Samuel:2:23 @However, he refused to turn aside; therefore Abner struck him in the belly with the butt end of the spear, so that the spear came out at his back. And he fell there and died on the spot. And it came about that all who came to the place where Asahel had fallen and died, stood still.

nasb@2Samuel:2:24 @But Joab and Abishai pursued Abner, and when the sun was going down, they came to the hill of Ammah, which is in front of Giah by the way of the wilderness of Gibeon.

nasb@2Samuel:2:25 @The sons of Benjamin gathered together behind Abner and became one band, and they stood on the top of a certain hill.

nasb@2Samuel:2:29 @Abner and his men then went through the Arabah all that night; so they crossed the Jordan, walked all morning, and came to Mahanaim.

nasb@2Samuel:3:6 @It came about while there was war between the house of Saul and the house of David that Abner was making himself strong in the house of Saul.

nasb@2Samuel:3:7 @Now Saul had a concubine whose name was Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah; and Ish-bosheth said to Abner, "Why have you gone in to my father's concubine?"

nasb@2Samuel:3:8 @Then Abner was very angry over the words of Ish-bosheth and said, " Am I a dog's head that belongs to Judah? Today I show kindness to the house of Saul your father, to his brothers and to his friends, and have not delivered you into the hands of David; and yet today you charge me with a guilt concerning the woman.

nasb@2Samuel:3:12 @Then Abner sent messengers to David in his place, saying, "Whose is the land? Make your covenant with me, and behold, my hand shall be with you to bring all Israel over to you."

nasb@2Samuel:3:13 @He said, "Good! I will make a covenant with you, but I demand one thing of you, namely, you shall not see my face unless you first bring Michal, Saul's daughter, when you come to see me."

nasb@2Samuel:3:14 @So David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, saying, "Give me my wife Michal, to whom I was betrothed for a hundred foreskins of the Philistines."

nasb@2Samuel:3:17 @Now Abner had consultation with the elders of Israel, saying, "In times past you were seeking for David to be king over you.

nasb@2Samuel:3:19 @Abner also spoke in the hearing of Benjamin; and in addition Abner went to speak in the hearing of David in Hebron all that seemed good to Israel and to the whole house of Benjamin.

nasb@2Samuel:3:21 @Abner said to David, "Let me arise and go and gather all Israel to my lord the king, that they may make a covenant with you, and that you may be king over all that your soul desires." So David sent Abner away, and he went in peace.

nasb@2Samuel:3:22 @And behold, the servants of David and Joab came from a raid and brought much spoil with them; but Abner was not with David in Hebron, for he had sent him away, and he had gone in peace.

nasb@2Samuel:3:23 @When Joab and all the army that was with him arrived, they told Joab, saying, "Abner the son of Ner came to the king, and he has sent him away, and he has gone in peace."

nasb@2Samuel:3:24 @Then Joab came to the king and said, "What have you done? Behold, Abner came to you; why then have you sent him away and he is already gone?

nasb@2Samuel:4:5 @So the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab and Baanah, departed and came to the house of Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day while he was taking his midday rest.

nasb@2Samuel:4:5 @Then all the tribes of Israel came to David at Hebron and said, "Behold, we are your bone and your flesh.

nasb@2Samuel:4:3 @So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and King David made a covenant with them before the LORD at Hebron; then they anointed David king over Israel.

nasb@2Samuel:4:4 @David was thirty years old when he became king, and he reigned forty years.

nasb@2Samuel:4:6 @Now the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the inhabitants of the land, and they said to David, "You shall not come in here, but the blind and lame will turn you away"; thinking, "David cannot enter here."

nasb@2Samuel:4:10 @David became greater and greater, for the LORD God of hosts was with him.

nasb@2Samuel:4:11 @Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees and carpenters and stonemasons; and they built a house for David.

nasb@2Samuel:4:18 @Now the Philistines came and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.

nasb@2Samuel:4:20 @So David came to Baal-perazim and defeated them there; and he said, "The LORD has broken through my enemies before me like the breakthrough of waters." Therefore he named that place Baal-perazim.

nasb@2Samuel:4:21 @They abandoned their idols there, so David and his men carried them away.

nasb@2Samuel:4:22 @Now the Philistines came up once again and spread themselves out in the valley of Rephaim.

nasb@2Samuel:4:23 @When David inquired of the LORD, He said, "You shall not go directly up; circle around behind them and come at them in front of the balsam trees.

nasb@2Samuel:5:1 @Now David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.

nasb@2Samuel:5:2 @And David arose and went with all the people who were with him to Baale-judah, to bring up from there the ark of God which is called by the Name, the very name of the LORD of hosts who is enthroned above the cherubim.

nasb@2Samuel:5:6 @But when they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached out toward the ark of God and took hold of it, for the oxen nearly upset it.

nasb@2Samuel:5:9 @So David was afraid of the LORD that day; and he said, "How can the ark of the LORD come to me?"

nasb@2Samuel:5:16 @Then it happened as the ark of the LORD came into the city of David that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the LORD; and she despised him in her heart.

nasb@2Samuel:5:18 @When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offering, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD of hosts.

nasb@2Samuel:5:19 @Further, he distributed to all the people, to all the multitude of Israel, both to men and women, a cake of bread and one of dates and one of raisins to each one. Then all the people departed each to his house.

nasb@2Samuel:5:20 @But when David returned to bless his household, Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, "How the king of Israel distinguished himself today!

nasb@2Samuel:5:22" @I will be more lightly esteemed than this and will be humble in my own eyes, but with the maids of whom you have spoken, with them I will be distinguished."

nasb@2Samuel:6:1 @Now it came about when the king lived in his house, and the LORD had given him rest on every side from all his enemies,

nasb@2Samuel:6:4 @But in the same night the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying,

nasb@2Samuel:6:5" @Go and say to My servant David, 'Thus says the LORD, " Are you the one who should build Me a house to dwell in?

nasb@2Samuel:7:1 @Now after this it came about that David defeated the Philistines and subdued them; and David took control of the chief city from the hand of the Philistines.

nasb@2Samuel:7:2 @He defeated Moab, and measured them with the line, making them lie down on the ground; and he measured two lines to put to death and one full line to keep alive. And the Moabites became servants to David, bringing tribute.

nasb@2Samuel:7:4 @David captured from him 1,700 horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers; and David hamstrung the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for 100 chariots.

nasb@2Samuel:7:5 @When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David killed 22,000 Arameans.

nasb@2Samuel:7:14 @He put garrisons in Edom. In all Edom he put garrisons, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the LORD helped David wherever he went.

nasb@2Samuel:7:17 @Zadok the son of Ahitub and Ahimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, and Seraiah was secretary.

nasb@2Samuel:8:2 @Now there was a servant of the house of Saul whose name was Ziba, and they called him to David; and the king said to him, "Are you Ziba?" And he said, "I am your servant."

nasb@2Samuel:8:6 @Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, came to David and fell on his face and prostrated himself. And David said, "Mephibosheth." And he said, "Here is your servant!"

nasb@2Samuel:8:10" @You and your sons and your servants shall cultivate the land for him, and you shall bring in the produce so that your master's grandson may have food; nevertheless Mephibosheth your master's grandson shall eat at my table regularly."

nasb@2Samuel:8:11 @Then Ziba said to the king, "According to all that my lord the king commands his servant so your servant will do." So Mephibosheth ate at David's table as one of the king's sons.

nasb@2Samuel:8:12 @Mephibosheth had a young son whose name was Mica. And all who lived in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.

nasb@2Samuel:9:2 @Then David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, just as his father showed kindness to me." So David sent some of his servants to console him concerning his father. But when David's servants came to the land of the Ammonites,

nasb@2Samuel:9:4 @So Hanun took David's servants and shaved off half of their beards, and cut off their garments in the middle as far as their hips, and sent them away.

nasb@2Samuel:9:5 @When they told it to David, he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly humiliated. And the king said, "Stay at Jericho until your beards grow, and then return."

nasb@2Samuel:9:6 @Now when the sons of Ammon saw that they had become odious to David, the sons of Ammon sent and hired the Arameans of Beth-rehob and the Arameans of Zobah, 20,000 foot soldiers, and the king of Maacah with 1,000 men, and the men of Tob with 12,000 men.

nasb@2Samuel:9:7 @When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army, the mighty men.

nasb@2Samuel:9:8 @The sons of Ammon came out and drew up in battle array at the entrance of the city, while the Arameans of Zobah and of Rehob and the men of Tob and Maacah were by themselves in the field.

nasb@2Samuel:9:9 @Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him in front and in the rear, he selected from all the choice men of Israel, and arrayed them against the Arameans.

nasb@2Samuel:9:11 @He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you shall help me, but if the sons of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will come to help you.

nasb@2Samuel:9:14 @When the sons of Ammon saw that the Arameans fled, they also fled before Abishai and entered the city. Then Joab returned from fighting against the sons of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Samuel:9:15 @When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they gathered themselves together.

nasb@2Samuel:9:16 @And Hadadezer sent and brought out the Arameans who were beyond the River, and they came to Helam; and Shobach the commander of the army of Hadadezer led them.

nasb@2Samuel:9:17 @Now when it was told David, he gathered all Israel together and crossed the Jordan, and came to Helam. And the Arameans arrayed themselves to meet David and fought against him.

nasb@2Samuel:9:18 @But the Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed 700 charioteers of the Arameans and 40,000 horsemen and struck down Shobach the commander of their army, and he died there.

nasb@2Samuel:9:19 @When all the kings, servants of Hadadezer, saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with Israel and served them. So the Arameans feared to help the sons of Ammon anymore.

nasb@2Samuel:10:1 @Then it happened in the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle, that David sent Joab and his servants with him and all Israel, and they destroyed the sons of Ammon and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem.

nasb@2Samuel:10:2 @Now when evening came David arose from his bed and walked around on the roof of the king's house, and from the roof he saw a woman bathing; and the woman was very beautiful in appearance.

nasb@2Samuel:10:4 @David sent messengers and took her, and when she came to him, he lay with her; and when she had purified herself from her uncleanness, she returned to her house.

nasb@2Samuel:10:7 @When Uriah came to him, David asked concerning the welfare of Joab and the people and the state of the war.

nasb@2Samuel:10:10 @Now when they told David, saying, "Uriah did not go down to his house," David said to Uriah, "Have you not come from a journey? Why did you not go down to your house?"

nasb@2Samuel:10:16 @So it was as Joab kept watch on the city, that he put Uriah at the place where he knew there were valiant men.

nasb@2Samuel:10:17 @The men of the city went out and fought against Joab, and some of the people among David's servants fell; and Uriah the Hittite also died.

nasb@2Samuel:10:21 @'Who struck down Abimelech the son of Jerubbesheth? Did not a woman throw an upper millstone on him from the wall so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?'--then you shall say, 'Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead also.'"

nasb@2Samuel:10:22 @So the messenger departed and came and reported to David all that Joab had sent him to tell.

nasb@2Samuel:10:23 @The messenger said to David, "The men prevailed against us and came out against us in the field, but we pressed them as far as the entrance of the gate.

nasb@2Samuel:10:24" @Moreover, the archers shot at your servants from the wall; so some of the king's servants are dead, and your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead."

nasb@2Samuel:10:25 @Then David said to the messenger, "Thus you shall say to Joab, 'Do not let this thing displease you, for the sword devours one as well as another; make your battle against the city stronger and overthrow it'; and so encourage him."

nasb@2Samuel:10:27 @When the time of mourning was over, David sent and brought her to his house and she became his wife; then she bore him a son. But the thing that David had done was evil in the sight of the LORD.

nasb@2Samuel:10:12 @Then the LORD sent Nathan to David. And he came to him and said, "There were two men in one city, the one rich and the other poor.

nasb@2Samuel:10:4" @Now a traveler came to the rich man, And he was unwilling to take from his own flock or his own herd, To prepare for the wayfarer who had come to him; Rather he took the poor man's ewe lamb and prepared it for the man who had come to him."

nasb@2Samuel:10:14" @However, because by this deed you have given occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born to you shall surely die."

nasb@2Samuel:10:20 @So David arose from the ground, washed, anointed himself, and changed his clothes; and he came into the house of the LORD and worshiped. Then he came to his own house, and when he requested, they set food before him and he ate.

nasb@2Samuel:10:22 @He said, "While the child was still alive, I fasted and wept; for I said, ' Who knows, the LORD may be gracious to me, that the child may live.'

nasb@2Samuel:10:23" @But now he has died; why should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I will go to him, but he will not return to me."

nasb@2Samuel:10:24 @Then David comforted his wife Bathsheba, and went in to her and lay with her; and she gave birth to a son, and he named him Solomon. Now the LORD loved him

nasb@2Samuel:10:25 @and sent word through Nathan the prophet, and he named him Jedidiah for the LORD'S sake.

nasb@2Samuel:10:27 @Joab sent messengers to David and said, "I have fought against Rabbah, I have even captured the city of waters.

nasb@2Samuel:10:28" @Now therefore, gather the rest of the people together and camp against the city and capture it, or I will capture the city myself and it will be named after me."

nasb@2Samuel:10:31 @He also brought out the people who were in it, and set them under saws, sharp iron instruments, and iron axes, and made them pass through the brickkiln. And thus he did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Samuel:11:1 @Now it was after this that Absalom the son of David had a beautiful sister whose name was Tamar, and Amnon the son of David loved her.

nasb@2Samuel:11:2 @Amnon was so frustrated because of his sister Tamar that he made himself ill, for she was a virgin, and it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

nasb@2Samuel:11:3 @But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother; and Jonadab was a very shrewd man.

nasb@2Samuel:11:4 @He said to him, "O son of the king, why are you so depressed morning after morning? Will you not tell me?" Then Amnon said to him, "I am in love with Tamar, the sister of my brother Absalom."

nasb@2Samuel:11:5 @Jonadab then said to him, "Lie down on your bed and pretend to be ill; when your father comes to see you, say to him, 'Please let my sister Tamar come and give me some food to eat, and let her prepare the food in my sight, that I may see it and eat from her hand.'"

nasb@2Samuel:11:6 @So Amnon lay down and pretended to be ill; when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, "Please let my sister Tamar come and make me a couple of cakes in my sight, that I may eat from her hand."

nasb@2Samuel:11:9 @She took the pan and dished them out before him, but he refused to eat. And Amnon said, " Have everyone go out from me." So everyone went out from him.

nasb@2Samuel:11:11 @When she brought them to him to eat, he took hold of her and said to her, "Come, lie with me, my sister."

nasb@2Samuel:11:12 @But she answered him, "No, my brother, do not violate me, for such a thing is not done in Israel; do not do this disgraceful thing!

nasb@2Samuel:11:13" @As for me, where could I get rid of my reproach? And as for you, you will be like one of the fools in Israel. Now therefore, please speak to the king, for he will not withhold me from you."

nasb@2Samuel:11:16 @But she said to him, "No, because this wrong in sending me away is greater than the other that you have done to me!" Yet he would not listen to her.

nasb@2Samuel:11:18 @Now she had on a long-sleeved garment; for in this manner the virgin daughters of the king dressed themselves in robes. Then his attendant took her out and locked the door behind her.

nasb@2Samuel:11:19 @Tamar put ashes on her head and tore her long-sleeved garment which was on her; and she put her hand on her head and went away, crying aloud as she went.

nasb@2Samuel:11:23 @Now it came about after two full years that Absalom had sheepshearers in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim, and Absalom invited all the king's sons.

nasb@2Samuel:11:24 @Absalom came to the king and said, "Behold now, your servant has sheepshearers; please let the king and his servants go with your servant."

nasb@2Samuel:11:25 @But the king said to Absalom, "No, my son, we should not all go, for we will be burdensome to you." Although he urged him, he would not go, but blessed him.

nasb@2Samuel:11:28 @Absalom commanded his servants, saying, "See now, when Amnon's heart is merry with wine, and when I say to you, 'Strike Amnon,' then put him to death. Do not fear; have not I myself commanded you? Be courageous and be valiant."

nasb@2Samuel:11:30 @Now it was while they were on the way that the report came to David, saying, "Absalom has struck down all the king's sons, and not one of them is left."

nasb@2Samuel:11:32 @Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, responded, "Do not let my lord suppose they have put to death all the young men, the king's sons, for Amnon alone is dead; because by the intent of Absalom this has been determined since the day that he violated his sister Tamar.

nasb@2Samuel:11:33" @Now therefore, do not let my lord the king take the report to heart, namely, 'all the king's sons are dead,' for only Amnon is dead."

nasb@2Samuel:11:35 @Jonadab said to the king, "Behold, the king's sons have come; according to your servant's word, so it happened."

nasb@2Samuel:11:36 @As soon as he had finished speaking, behold, the king's sons came and lifted their voices and wept; and also the king and all his servants wept very bitterly.

nasb@2Samuel:12:2 @So Joab sent to Tekoa and brought a wise woman from there and said to her, "Please pretend to be a mourner, and put on mourning garments now, and do not anoint yourself with oil, but be like a woman who has been mourning for the dead many days;

nasb@2Samuel:12:7" @Now behold, the whole family has risen against your maidservant, and they say, 'Hand over the one who struck his brother, that we may put him to death for the life of his brother whom he killed, and destroy the heir also.' Thus they will extinguish my coal which is left, so as to leave my husband neither name nor remnant on the face of the earth."

nasb@2Samuel:12:9 @The woman of Tekoa said to the king, "O my lord, the king, the iniquity is on me and my father's house, but the king and his throne are guiltless."

nasb@2Samuel:12:10 @So the king said, "Whoever speaks to you, bring him to me, and he will not touch you anymore."

nasb@2Samuel:12:11 @Then she said, "Please let the king remember the LORD your God, so that the avenger of blood will not continue to destroy, otherwise they will destroy my son." And he said, " As the LORD lives, not one hair of your son shall fall to the ground."

nasb@2Samuel:12:15" @Now the reason I have come to speak this word to my lord the king is that the people have made me afraid; so your maidservant said, 'Let me now speak to the king, perhaps the king will perform the request of his maidservant.

nasb@2Samuel:12:16 @'For the king will hear and deliver his maidservant from the hand of the man who would destroy both me and my son from the inheritance of God.'

nasb@2Samuel:12:18 @Then the king answered and said to the woman, "Please do not hide anything from me that I am about to ask you." And the woman said, "Let my lord the king please speak."

nasb@2Samuel:12:19 @So the king said, "Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?" And the woman replied, "As your soul lives, my lord the king, no one can turn to the right or to the left from anything that my lord the king has spoken. Indeed, it was your servant Joab who commanded me, and it was he who put all these words in the mouth of your maidservant;

nasb@2Samuel:12:22 @Joab fell on his face to the ground, prostrated himself and blessed the king; then Joab said, "Today your servant knows that I have found favor in your sight, O my lord, the king, in that the king has performed the request of his servant."

nasb@2Samuel:12:25 @Now in all Israel was no one as handsome as Absalom, so highly praised; from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head there was no defect in him.

nasb@2Samuel:12:27 @To Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar; she was a woman of beautiful appearance.

nasb@2Samuel:12:29 @Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king, but he would not come to him. So he sent again a second time, but he would not come.

nasb@2Samuel:12:31 @Then Joab arose, came to Absalom at his house and said to him, "Why have your servants set my field on fire?"

nasb@2Samuel:12:32 @Absalom answered Joab, "Behold, I sent for you, saying, 'Come here, that I may send you to the king, to say, "Why have I come from Geshur? It would be better for me still to be there."' Now therefore, let me see the king's face, and if there is iniquity in me, let him put me to death."

nasb@2Samuel:12:33 @So when Joab came to the king and told him, he called for Absalom. Thus he came to the king and prostrated himself on his face to the ground before the king, and the king kissed Absalom.

nasb@2Samuel:13:1 @Now it came about after this that Absalom provided for himself a chariot and horses and fifty men as runners before him.

nasb@2Samuel:13:2 @Absalom used to rise early and stand beside the way to the gate; and when any man had a suit to come to the king for judgment, Absalom would call to him and say, "From what city are you?" And he would say, "Your servant is from one of the tribes of Israel."

nasb@2Samuel:13:4 @Moreover, Absalom would say, " Oh that one would appoint me judge in the land, then every man who has any suit or cause could come to me and I would give him justice."

nasb@2Samuel:13:5 @And when a man came near to prostrate himself before him, he would put out his hand and take hold of him and kiss him.

nasb@2Samuel:13:6 @In this manner Absalom dealt with all Israel who came to the king for judgment; so Absalom stole away the hearts of the men of Israel.

nasb@2Samuel:13:7 @Now it came about at the end of forty years that Absalom said to the king, "Please let me go and pay my vow which I have vowed to the LORD, in Hebron.

nasb@2Samuel:13:8" @For your servant vowed a vow while I was living at Geshur in Aram, saying, ' If the LORD shall indeed bring me back to Jerusalem, then I will serve the LORD.'"

nasb@2Samuel:13:11 @Then two hundred men went with Absalom from Jerusalem, who were invited and went innocently, and they did not know anything.

nasb@2Samuel:13:13 @Then a messenger came to David, saying, " The hearts of the men of Israel are with Absalom."

nasb@2Samuel:13:18 @Now all his servants passed on beside him, all the Cherethites, all the Pelethites and all the Gittites, six hundred men who had come with him from Gath, passed on before the king.

nasb@2Samuel:13:20" @You came only yesterday, and shall I today make you wander with us, while I go where I will? Return and take back your brothers; mercy and truth be with you."

nasb@2Samuel:13:22 @Therefore David said to Ittai, "Go and pass over." So Ittai the Gittite passed over with all his men and all the little ones who were with him.

nasb@2Samuel:13:24 @Now behold, Zadok also came, and all the Levites with him carrying the ark of the covenant of God. And they set down the ark of God, and Abiathar came up until all the people had finished passing from the city.

nasb@2Samuel:13:25 @The king said to Zadok, "Return the ark of God to the city. If I find favor in the sight of the LORD, then He will bring me back again and show me both it and His habitation.

nasb@2Samuel:13:26" @But if He should say thus, ' I have no delight in you,' behold, here I am, let Him do to me as seems good to Him."

nasb@2Samuel:13:28" @See, I am going to wait at the fords of the wilderness until word comes from you to inform me."

nasb@2Samuel:13:31 @Now someone told David, saying, " Ahithophel is among the conspirators with Absalom." And David said, "O LORD, I pray, make the counsel of Ahithophel foolishness."

nasb@2Samuel:13:32 @It happened as David was coming to the summit, where God was worshiped, that behold, Hushai the Archite met him with his coat torn and dust on his head.

nasb@2Samuel:13:33 @David said to him, "If you pass over with me, then you will be a burden to me.

nasb@2Samuel:13:34" @But if you return to the city, and say to Absalom, 'I will be your servant, O king; as I have been your father's servant in time past, so I will now be your servant,' then you can thwart the counsel of Ahithophel for me.

nasb@2Samuel:13:36" @Behold their two sons are with them there, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son and Jonathan, Abiathar's son; and by them you shall send me everything that you hear."

nasb@2Samuel:13:37 @So Hushai, David's friend, came into the city, and Absalom came into Jerusalem.

nasb@2Samuel:14:1 @Now when David had passed a little beyond the summit, behold, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth met him with a couple of saddled donkeys, and on them were two hundred loaves of bread, a hundred clusters of raisins, a hundred summer fruits, and a jug of wine.

nasb@2Samuel:14:2 @The king said to Ziba, "Why do you have these?" And Ziba said, " The donkeys are for the king's household to ride, and the bread and summer fruit for the young men to eat, and the wine, for whoever is faint in the wilderness to drink."

nasb@2Samuel:14:3 @Then the king said, "And where is your master's son?" And Ziba said to the king, "Behold, he is staying in Jerusalem, for he said, 'Today the house of Israel will restore the kingdom of my father to me.'"

nasb@2Samuel:14:4 @So the king said to Ziba, "Behold, all that belongs to Mephibosheth is yours." And Ziba said, "I prostrate myself; let me find favor in your sight, O my lord, the king!"

nasb@2Samuel:14:5 @When King David came to Bahurim, behold, there came out from there a man of the family of the house of Saul whose name was Shimei, the son of Gera; he came out cursing continually as he came.

nasb@2Samuel:14:6 @He threw stones at David and at all the servants of King David; and all the people and all the mighty men were at his right hand and at his left.

nasb@2Samuel:14:7 @Thus Shimei said when he cursed, "Get out, get out, you man of bloodshed, and worthless fellow!

nasb@2Samuel:14:9 @Then Abishai the son of Zeruiah said to the king, "Why should this dead dog curse my lord the king? Let me go over now and cut off his head."

nasb@2Samuel:14:11 @Then David said to Abishai and to all his servants, "Behold, my son who came out from me seeks my life; how much more now this Benjamite? Let him alone and let him curse, for the LORD has told him.

nasb@2Samuel:14:12" @Perhaps the LORD will look on my affliction and return good to me instead of his cursing this day."

nasb@2Samuel:14:13 @So David and his men went on the way; and Shimei went along on the hillside parallel with him and as he went he cursed and cast stones and threw dust at him.

nasb@2Samuel:14:15 @Then Absalom and all the people, the men of Israel, entered Jerusalem, and Ahithophel with him.

nasb@2Samuel:14:16 @Now it came about when Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom, that Hushai said to Absalom, " Long live the king! Long live the king!"

nasb@2Samuel:14:18 @Then Hushai said to Absalom, "No! For whom the LORD, this people, and all the men of Israel have chosen, his I will be, and with him I will remain.

nasb@2Samuel:14:17 @Furthermore, Ahithophel said to Absalom, "Please let me choose 12,000 men that I may arise and pursue David tonight.

nasb@2Samuel:14:2" @ I will come upon him while he is weary and exhausted and terrify him, so that all the people who are with him will flee. Then I will strike down the king alone,

nasb@2Samuel:14:6 @When Hushai had come to Absalom, Absalom said to him, "Ahithophel has spoken thus. Shall we carry out his plan? If not, you speak."

nasb@2Samuel:14:7 @So Hushai said to Absalom, " This time the advice that Ahithophel has given is not good."

nasb@2Samuel:14:8 @Moreover, Hushai said, "You know your father and his men, that they are mighty men and they are fierce, like a bear robbed of her cubs in the field. And your father is an expert in warfare, and will not spend the night with the people.

nasb@2Samuel:14:10" @And even the one who is valiant, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will completely lose heart; for all Israel knows that your father is a mighty man and those who are with him are valiant men.

nasb@2Samuel:14:12" @So we shall come to him in one of the places where he can be found, and we will fall on him as the dew falls on the ground; and of him and of all the men who are with him, not even one will be left.

nasb@2Samuel:14:14 @Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, "The counsel of Hushai the Archite is better than the counsel of Ahithophel." For the LORD had ordained to thwart the good counsel of Ahithophel, so that the LORD might bring calamity on Absalom.

nasb@2Samuel:14:16" @Now therefore, send quickly and tell David, saying, ' Do not spend the night at the fords of the wilderness, but by all means cross over, or else the king and all the people who are with him will be destroyed.'"

nasb@2Samuel:14:18 @But a lad did see them and told Absalom; so the two of them departed quickly and came to the house of a man in Bahurim, who had a well in his courtyard, and they went down into it.

nasb@2Samuel:14:20 @Then 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 crossed the brook of water." And when they searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Samuel:14:21 @It came about after they had departed that they came up out of the well and went and told King David; and they said to David, " Arise and cross over the water quickly for thus Ahithophel has counseled against you."

nasb@2Samuel:14:23 @Now when Ahithophel saw that his counsel was not followed, he saddled his donkey and arose and went to his home, to his city, and set his house in order, and strangled himself; thus he died and was buried in the grave of his father.

nasb@2Samuel:14:24 @Then David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom crossed the Jordan, he and all the men of Israel with him.

nasb@2Samuel:14:25 @Absalom set Amasa over the army in place of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man whose name was Ithra the Israelite, who went in to Abigail the daughter of Nahash, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.

nasb@2Samuel:14:27 @Now when David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi the son of Nahash from Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, Machir the son of Ammiel from Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite from Rogelim,

nasb@2Samuel:15:7 @The people of Israel were defeated there before the servants of David, and the slaughter there that day was great, 20,000 men.

nasb@2Samuel:15:9 @Now Absalom happened to meet the servants of David. For Absalom was riding on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great oak. And his head caught fast in the oak, so he was left hanging between heaven and earth, while the mule that was under him kept going.

nasb@2Samuel:15:12 @The man said to Joab, "Even if I should receive a thousand pieces of silver in my hand, I would not put out my hand against the king's son; for in our hearing the king charged you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, 'Protect for me the young man Absalom!'

nasb@2Samuel:15:14 @Then Joab said, "I will not waste time here with you." So he took three spears in his hand and thrust them through the heart of Absalom while he was yet alive in the midst of the oak.

nasb@2Samuel:15:15 @And ten young men who carried Joab's armor gathered around and struck Absalom and killed him.

nasb@2Samuel:15:18 @Now Absalom in his lifetime had taken and set up for himself a pillar which is in the King's Valley, for he said, " I have no son to preserve my name." So he named the pillar after his own name, and it is called Absalom's Monument to this day.

nasb@2Samuel:15:19 @Then Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said, "Please let me run and bring the king news that the LORD has freed him from the hand of his enemies."

nasb@2Samuel:15:22 @Now Ahimaaz the son of Zadok said once more to Joab, "But whatever happens, please let me also run after the Cushite." And Joab said, "Why would you run, my son, since you will have no reward for going?"

nasb@2Samuel:15:25 @The watchman called and told the king. And the king said, "If he is by himself there is good news in his mouth." And he came nearer and nearer.

nasb@2Samuel:15:27 @The watchman said, "I think the running of the first one is like the running of Ahimaaz the son of Zadok." And the king said, " This is a good man and comes with good news."

nasb@2Samuel:15:28 @Ahimaaz called and said to the king, " All is well." And he prostrated himself before the king with his face to the ground. And he said, " Blessed is the LORD your God, who has delivered up the men who lifted their hands against my lord the king."

nasb@2Samuel:16:5 @Then Joab came into the house to the king and said, "Today you have covered with shame the faces of all your servants, who today have saved your life and the lives of your sons and daughters, the lives of your wives, and the lives of your concubines,

nasb@2Samuel:16:7" @Now therefore arise, go out and speak kindly to your servants, for I swear by the LORD, if you do not go out, surely not a man will pass the night with you, and this will be worse for you than all the evil that has come upon you from your youth until now."

nasb@2Samuel:16:8 @So the king arose and sat in the gate. When they told all the people, saying, "Behold, the king is sitting in the gate," then all the people came before the king. Now Israel had fled, each to his tent.

nasb@2Samuel:16:11 @Then King David sent to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, saying, "Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, 'Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the word of all Israel has come to the king, even to his house?

nasb@2Samuel:16:13" @Say to Amasa, 'Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God do so to me, and more also, if you will not be commander of the army before me continually in place of Joab.'"

nasb@2Samuel:16:14 @Thus he turned the hearts of all the men of Judah as one man, so that they sent word to the king, saying, "Return, you and all your servants."

nasb@2Samuel:16:15 @The king then returned and came as far as the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal in order to go to meet the king, to bring the king across the Jordan.

nasb@2Samuel:16:16 @Then Shimei the son of Gera, the Benjamite who was from Bahurim, hurried and came down with the men of Judah to meet King David.

nasb@2Samuel:16:17 @There were a thousand men of Benjamin with him, with Ziba the servant of the house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his twenty servants with him; and they rushed to the Jordan before the king.

nasb@2Samuel:16:18 @Then they kept crossing the ford to bring over the king's household, and to do what was good in his sight. And Shimei the son of Gera fell down before the king as he was about to cross the Jordan.

nasb@2Samuel:16:19 @So he said to the king, " Let not my lord consider me guilty, nor remember what your servant did wrong on the day when my lord the king came out from Jerusalem, so that the king would take it to heart.

nasb@2Samuel:16:20" @For your servant knows that I have sinned; therefore behold, I have come today, the first of all the house of Joseph to go down to meet my lord the king."

nasb@2Samuel:16:21 @But Abishai the son of Zeruiah said, " Should not Shimei be put to death for this, because he cursed the LORD'S anointed?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:22 @David then said, " What have I to do with you, O sons of Zeruiah, that you should this day be an adversary to me? Should any man be put to death in Israel today? For do I not know that I am king over Israel today?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:23 @The king said to Shimei, " You shall not die." Thus the king swore to him.

nasb@2Samuel:16:24 @Then Mephibosheth the son of Saul came down to meet the king; and he had neither cared for his feet, nor trimmed his mustache, nor washed his clothes, from the day the king departed until the day he came home in peace.

nasb@2Samuel:16:25 @It was when he came from Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said to him, " Why did you not go with me, Mephibosheth?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:26 @So he answered, "O my lord, the king, my servant deceived me; for your servant said, 'I will saddle a donkey for myself that I may ride on it and go with the king,' because your servant is lame.

nasb@2Samuel:16:28" @For all my father's household was nothing but dead men before my lord the king; yet you set your servant among those who ate at your own table. What right do I have yet that I should complain anymore to the king?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:30 @Mephibosheth said to the king, "Let him even take it all, since my lord the king has come safely to his own house."

nasb@2Samuel:16:31 @Now Barzillai the Gileadite had come down from Rogelim; and he went on to the Jordan with the king to escort him over the Jordan.

nasb@2Samuel:16:33 @The king said to Barzillai, "You cross over with me and I will sustain you in Jerusalem with me."

nasb@2Samuel:16:35" @I am now eighty years old. Can I distinguish between good and bad? Or can your servant taste what I eat or what I drink? Or can I hear anymore the voice of singing men and women? Why then should your servant be an added burden to my lord the king?

nasb@2Samuel:16:36" @Your servant would merely cross over the Jordan with the king. Why should the king compensate me with this reward?

nasb@2Samuel:16:38 @The king answered, "Chimham shall cross over with me, and I will do for him what is good in your sight; and whatever you require of me, I will do for you."

nasb@2Samuel:16:41 @And behold, all the men of Israel came to the king and said to the king, " Why had our brothers the men of Judah stolen you away, and brought the king and his household and all David's men with him over the Jordan?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:42 @Then all the men of Judah answered the men of Israel, "Because the king is a close relative to us. Why then are you angry about this matter? Have we eaten at all at the king's expense, or has anything been taken for us?"

nasb@2Samuel:16:43 @But the men of Israel answered the men of Judah and said, " We have ten parts in the king, therefore we also have more claim on David than you. Why then did you treat us with contemptNULL Was it not our advice first to bring back our kingNULL" Yet the words of the men of Judah were harsher than the words of the men of Israel.

nasb@2Samuel:17:1 @Now a worthless fellow happened to be there whose name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite; and he blew the trumpet and said, " We have no portion in David, Nor do we have inheritance in the son of Jesse; Every man to his tents, O Israel!"

nasb@2Samuel:17:2 @So all the men of Israel withdrew from following David and followed Sheba the son of Bichri; but the men of Judah remained steadfast to their king, from the Jordan even to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Samuel:17:3 @Then David came to his house at Jerusalem, and the king took the ten women, the concubines whom he had left to keep the house, and placed them under guard and provided them with sustenance, but did not go in to them. So they were shut up until the day of their death, living as widows.

nasb@2Samuel:17:4 @Then the king said to Amasa, "Call out the men of Judah for me within three days, and be present here yourself."

nasb@2Samuel:17:7 @So Joab's men went out after him, along with the Cherethites and the Pelethites and all the mighty men; and they went out from Jerusalem to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

nasb@2Samuel:17:8 @When they were at the large stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came to meet them. Now Joab was dressed in his military attire, and over it was a belt with a sword in its sheath fastened at his waist; and as he went forward, it fell out.

nasb@2Samuel:17:11 @Now there stood by him one of Joab's young men, and said, "Whoever favors Joab and whoever is for David, let him follow Joab."

nasb@2Samuel:17:12 @But Amasa lay wallowing in his blood in the middle of the highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed Amasa from the highway into the field and threw a garment over him when he saw that everyone who came by him stood still.

nasb@2Samuel:17:13 @As soon as he was removed from the highway, all the men passed on after Joab to pursue Sheba the son of Bichri.

nasb@2Samuel:17:15 @They came and besieged him in Abel Beth-maacah, and they cast up a siege ramp against the city, and it stood by the rampart; and all the people who were with Joab were wreaking destruction in order to topple the wall.

nasb@2Samuel:17:16 @Then a wise woman called from the city, "Hear, hear! Please tell Joab, 'Come here that I may speak with you.'"

nasb@2Samuel:17:18 @Then she spoke, saying, "Formerly they used to say, 'They will surely ask advice at Abel,' and thus they ended the dispute.

nasb@2Samuel:17:20 @Joab replied, "Far be it, far be it from me that I should swallow up or destroy!

nasb@2Samuel:17:21" @Such is not the case. But a man from the hill country of Ephraim, Sheba the son of Bichri by name, has lifted up his hand against King David. Only hand him over, and I will depart from the city." And the woman said to Joab, "Behold, his head will be thrown to you over the wall."

nasb@2Samuel:17:22 @Then the woman wisely came to all the people. And they cut off the head of Sheba the son of Bichri and threw it to Joab. So he blew the trumpet, and they were dispersed from the city, each to his tent. Joab also returned to the king at Jerusalem.

nasb@2Samuel:18:3 @Thus David said to the Gibeonites, "What should I do for you? And how can I make atonement that you may bless the inheritance of the LORD?"

nasb@2Samuel:18:5 @So they said to the king, " The man who consumed us and who planned to exterminate us from remaining within any border of Israel,

nasb@2Samuel:18:6 @let seven men from his sons be given to us, and we will hang them before the LORD in Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the LORD." And the king said, "I will give them."

nasb@2Samuel:18:7 @But the king spared Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan the son of Saul, because of the oath of the LORD which was between them, between David and Saul's son Jonathan.

nasb@2Samuel:18:8 @So the king took the two sons of Rizpah the daughter of Aiah, Armoni and Mephibosheth whom she had borne to Saul, and the five sons of Merab the daughter of Saul, whom she had borne to Adriel the son of Barzillai the Meholathite.

nasb@2Samuel:18:12 @then David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of Jonathan his son from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had stolen them from the open square of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had hanged them on the day the Philistines struck down Saul in Gilboa.

nasb@2Samuel:18:15 @Now when the Philistines were at war again with Israel, David went down and his servants with him; and as they fought against the Philistines, David became weary.

nasb@2Samuel:18:17 @But Abishai the son of Zeruiah helped him, and struck the Philistine and killed him. Then the men of David swore to him, saying, " You shall not go out again with us to battle, so that you do not extinguish the lamp of Israel."

nasb@2Samuel:18:18 @Now it came about after this that there was war again with the Philistines at Gob; then Sibbecai the Hushathite struck down Saph, who was among the descendants of the giant.

nasb@2Samuel:18:21 @When he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimei, David's brother, struck him down.

nasb@2Samuel:19:9 @and after him was Eleazar the son of Dodo the Ahohite, one of the three mighty men with David when they defied the Philistines who were gathered there to battle and the men of Israel had withdrawn.

nasb@2Samuel:19:13 @Then three of the thirty chief men went down and came to David in the harvest time to the cave of Adullam, while the troop of the Philistines was camping in the valley of Rephaim.

nasb@2Samuel:19:15 @David had a craving and said, "Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem which is by the gate!"

nasb@2Samuel:19:16 @So the three mighty men broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water from the well of Bethlehem which was by the gate, and took it and brought it to David. Nevertheless he would not drink it, but poured it out to the LORD;

nasb@2Samuel:20:3 @But Joab said to the king, " Now may the LORD your God add to the people a hundred times as many as they are, while the eyes of my lord the king still see; but why does my lord the king delight in this thing?"

nasb@2Samuel:20:6 @Then they came to Gilead and to the land of Tahtim-hodshi, and they came to Dan-jaan and around to Sidon,

nasb@2Samuel:20:7 @and came to the fortress of Tyre and to all the cities of the Hivites and of the Canaanites, and they went out to the south of Judah, to Beersheba.

nasb@2Samuel:20:9 @And Joab gave the number of the registration of the people to the king; and there were in Israel eight hundred thousand valiant men who drew the sword, and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand men.

nasb@2Samuel:20:11 @When David arose in the morning, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

nasb@2Samuel:20:13 @So Gad came to David and told him, and said to him, "Shall seven years of famine come to you in your land? Or will you flee three months before your foes while they pursue you? Or shall there be three days' pestilence in your land? Now consider and see what answer I shall return to Him who sent me."

nasb@2Samuel:20:14 @Then David said to Gad, "I am in great distress. Let us now fall into the hand of the LORD for His mercies are great, but do not let me fall into the hand of man."

nasb@2Samuel:20:15 @So the LORD sent a pestilence upon Israel from the morning until the appointed time, and seventy thousand men of the people from Dan to Beersheba died.

nasb@2Samuel:20:17 @Then David spoke to the LORD when he saw the angel who was striking down the people, and said, "Behold, it is I who have sinned, and it is I who have done wrong; but these sheep, what have they done? Please let Your hand be against me and against my father's house."

nasb@2Samuel:20:18 @So Gad came to David that day and said to him, " Go up, erect an altar to the LORD on the threshing floor of Araunah the Jebusite."

nasb@2Samuel:20:21 @Then Araunah said, "Why has my lord the king come to his servant?" And David said, "To buy the threshing floor from you, in order to build an altar to the LORD, that the plague may be held back from the people."

nasb@2Samuel:20:24 @However, the king said to Araunah, "No, but I will surely buy it from you for a price, for I will not offer burnt offerings to the LORD my God which cost me nothing." So David bought the threshing floor and the oxen for fifty shekels of silver.

nasb@1Kings:1:2 @So his servants said to him, "Let them seek a young virgin for my lord the king, and let her attend the king and become his nurse; and let her lie in your bosom, that my lord the king may keep warm."

nasb@1Kings:1:4 @The girl was very beautiful; and she became the king's nurse and served him, but the king did not cohabit with her.

nasb@1Kings:5:14 @He sent them to Lebanon, 10,000 a month in relays; they were in Lebanon a month and two months at home. And Adoniram was over the forced laborers.

nasb@1Kings:6:1 @Now it came about in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:6:4 @Also for the house he made windows with artistic frames.

nasb@1Kings:6:7 @The house, while it was being built, was built of stone prepared at the quarry, and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any iron tool heard in the house while it was being built.

nasb@1Kings:6:11 @Now the word of the LORD came to Solomon saying,

nasb@1Kings:6:12" @Concerning this house which you are building, if you will walk in My statutes and execute My ordinances and keep all My commandments by walking in them, then I will carry out My word with you which I spoke to David your father.

nasb@1Kings:6:25 @The other cherub was ten cubits; both the cherubim were of the same measure and the same form.

nasb@1Kings:7:4 @There were artistic window frames in three rows, and window was opposite window in three ranks.

nasb@1Kings:7:5 @All the doorways and doorposts had squared artistic frames, and window was opposite window in three ranks.

nasb@1Kings:7:7 @He made the hall of the throne where he was to judge, the hall of judgment, and it was paneled with cedar from floor to floor.

nasb@1Kings:7:8 @His house where he was to live, the other court inward from the hall, was of the same workmanship. He also made a house like this hall for Pharaoh's daughter, whom Solomon had married.

nasb@1Kings:7:9 @All these were of costly stones, of stone cut according to measure, sawed with saws, inside and outside; even from the foundation to the coping, and so on the outside to the great court.

nasb@1Kings:7:11 @And above were costly stones, stone cut according to measure, and cedar.

nasb@1Kings:7:14 @He was a widow's son from the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in bronze; and he was filled with wisdom and understanding and skill for doing any work in bronze. So he came to King Solomon and performed all his work.

nasb@1Kings:7:15 @He fashioned the two pillars of bronze; eighteen cubits was the height of one pillar, and a line of twelve cubits measured the circumference of both.

nasb@1Kings:7:18 @So he made the pillars, and two rows around on the one network to cover the capitals which were on the top of the pomegranates; and so he did for the other capital.

nasb@1Kings:7:20 @There were capitals on the two pillars, even above and close to the rounded projection which was beside the network; and the pomegranates numbered two hundred in rows around both capitals.

nasb@1Kings:7:21 @Thus he set up the pillars at the porch of the nave; and he set up the right pillar and named it Jachin, and he set up the left pillar and named it Boaz.

nasb@1Kings:7:23 @Now he made the sea of cast metal ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits, and thirty cubits in circumference.

nasb@1Kings:7:28 @This was the design of the stands- they had borders, even borders between the frames,

nasb@1Kings:7:29 @and on the borders which were between the frames were lions, oxen and cherubim; and on the frames there was a pedestal above, and beneath the lions and oxen were wreaths of hanging work.

nasb@1Kings:7:37 @He made the ten stands like this- all of them had one casting, one measure and one form.

nasb@1Kings:7:39 @Then he set the stands, five on the right side of the house and five on the left side of the house; and he set the sea of cast metal on the right side of the house eastward toward the south.

nasb@1Kings:7:40 @Now Hiram made the basins and the shovels and the bowls. So Hiram finished doing all the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of the LORD-

nasb@1Kings:7:42 @and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the tops of the pillars;

nasb@1Kings:7:51 @Thus all the work that King Solomon performed in the house of the LORD was finished. And Solomon brought in the things dedicated by his father David, the silver and the gold and the utensils, and he put them in the treasuries of the house of the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:8:2 @All the men of Israel assembled themselves to King Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.

nasb@1Kings:8:3 @Then all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

nasb@1Kings:8:4 @They brought up the ark of the LORD and the tent of meeting and all the holy utensils, which were in the tent, and the priests and the Levites brought them up.

nasb@1Kings:8:9 @There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, where the LORD made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.

nasb@1Kings:8:10 @It happened that when the priests came from the holy place, the cloud filled the house of the LORD,

nasb@1Kings:8:16 @' Since the day that I brought My people Israel from Egypt, I did not choose a city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house that My name might be there, but I chose David to be over My people Israel.'

nasb@1Kings:8:17" @ Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

nasb@1Kings:8:18" @But the LORD said to my father David, 'Because it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.

nasb@1Kings:8:19 @' Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will be born to you, he will build the house for My name.'

nasb@1Kings:8:20" @Now the LORD has fulfilled His word which He spoke; for I have risen in place of my father David and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

nasb@1Kings:8:25" @Now therefore, O LORD, the God of Israel, keep with Your servant David my father that which You have promised him, saying, ' You shall not lack a man to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your sons take heed to their way to walk before Me as you have walked.'

nasb@1Kings:8:26" @Now therefore, O God of Israel, let Your word, I pray, be confirmed which You have spoken to Your servant, my father David.

nasb@1Kings:8:29 @that Your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, toward the place of which You have said, 'My name shall be there,' to listen to the prayer which Your servant shall pray toward this place.

nasb@1Kings:8:35" @ When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain, because they have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and confess Your name and turn from their sin when You afflict them,

nasb@1Kings:8:39 @then hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and forgive and act and render to each according to all his ways, whose heart You know, for You alone know the hearts of all the sons of men,

nasb@1Kings:8:41" @Also concerning the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel, when he comes from a far country for Your name's sake

nasb@1Kings:8:42 @(for they will hear of Your great name and Your mighty hand, and of Your outstretched arm); when he comes and prays toward this house,

nasb@1Kings:8:43 @hear in heaven Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Your name, to fear You, as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by Your name.

nasb@1Kings:8:44" @When Your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way You shall send them, and they pray to the LORD toward the city which You have chosen and the house which I have built for Your name,

nasb@1Kings:8:48 @if they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and pray to You toward their land which You have given to their fathers, the city which You have chosen, and the house which I have built for Your name;

nasb@1Kings:8:58 @that He may incline our hearts to Himself, to walk in all His ways and to keep His commandments and His statutes and His ordinances, which He commanded our fathers.

nasb@1Kings:8:61" @ Let your heart therefore be wholly devoted to the LORD our God, to walk in His statutes and to keep His commandments, as at this day."

nasb@1Kings:8:64 @On the same day the king consecrated the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD, because there he offered the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat of the peace offerings; for the bronze altar that was before the LORD was too small to hold the burnt offering and the grain offering and the fat of the peace offerings.

nasb@1Kings:8:65 @So Solomon observed the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before the LORD our God, for seven days and seven more days, even fourteen days.

nasb@1Kings:9:1 @Now it came about when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD, and the king's house, and all that Solomon desired to do,

nasb@1Kings:9:2 @that the LORD appeared to Solomon a second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.

nasb@1Kings:9:3 @The LORD said to him, " I have heard your prayer and your supplication, which you have made before Me; I have consecrated this house which you have built by putting My name there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.

nasb@1Kings:9:4" @As for you, if you will walk before Me as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and uprightness, doing according to all that I have commanded you and will keep My statutes and My ordinances,

nasb@1Kings:9:6" @ But if you or your sons indeed turn away from following Me, and do not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them,

nasb@1Kings:9:7 @then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them, and the house which I have consecrated for My name, I will cast out of My sight. So Israel will become a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

nasb@1Kings:9:8" @And this house will become a heap of ruins; everyone who passes by will be astonished and hiss and say, ' Why has the LORD done thus to this land and to this house?'

nasb@1Kings:9:10 @It came about at the end of twenty years in which Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD and the king's house

nasb@1Kings:9:12 @So Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him, and they did not please him.

nasb@1Kings:9:13 @He said, "What are these cities which you have given me, my brother?" So they were called the land of Cabul to this day.

nasb@1Kings:9:15 @Now this is the account of the forced labor which King Solomon levied to build the house of the LORD, his own house, the Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.

nasb@1Kings:9:19 @and all the storage cities which Solomon had, even the cities for his chariots and the cities for his horsemen, and all that it pleased Solomon to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land under his rule.

nasb@1Kings:9:22 @But Solomon did not make slaves of the sons of Israel; for they were men of war, his servants, his princes, his captains, his chariot commanders, and his horsemen.

nasb@1Kings:9:24 @As soon as Pharaoh's daughter came up from the city of David to her house which Solomon had built for her, then he built the Millo.

nasb@1Kings:9:25 @Now three times in a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he built to the LORD, burning incense with them on the altar which was before the LORD. So he finished the house.

nasb@1Kings:10:1 @Now when the queen of Sheba heard about the fame of Solomon concerning the name of the LORD, she came to test him with difficult questions.

nasb@1Kings:10:2 @So she came to Jerusalem with a very large retinue, with camels carrying spices and very much gold and precious stones. When she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was in her heart.

nasb@1Kings:10:7" @Nevertheless I did not believe the reports, until I came and my eyes had seen it. And behold, the half was not told me. You exceed in wisdom and prosperity the report which I heard.

nasb@1Kings:10:8" @How blessed are your men, how blessed are these your servants who stand before you continually and hear your wisdom.

nasb@1Kings:10:10 @She gave the king a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and a very great amount of spices and precious stones. Never again did such abundance of spices come in as that which the queen of Sheba gave King Solomon.

nasb@1Kings:10:12 @The king made of the almug trees supports for the house of the LORD and for the king's house, also lyres and harps for the singers; such almug trees have not come in again nor have they been seen to this day.

nasb@1Kings:10:14 @Now the weight of gold which came in to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,

nasb@1Kings:10:15 @besides that from the traders and the wares of the merchants and all the kings of the Arabs and the governors of the country.

nasb@1Kings:10:22 @For the king had at sea the ships of Tarshish with the ships of Hiram; once every three years the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold and silver, ivory and apes and peacocks.

nasb@1Kings:10:23 @So King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and in wisdom.

nasb@1Kings:10:25 @They brought every man his gift, articles of silver and gold, garments, weapons, spices, horses, and mules, so much year by year.

nasb@1Kings:10:26 @Now Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, and he stationed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.

nasb@1Kings:10:28 @Also Solomon's import of horses was from Egypt and Kue, and the king's merchants procured them from Kue for a price.

nasb@1Kings:10:29 @A chariot was imported from Egypt for 600 shekels of silver, and a horse for 150; and by the same means they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and to the kings of the Arameans.

nasb@1Kings:11:1 @Now King Solomon loved many foreign women along with the daughter of Pharaoh- Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian, and Hittite women,

nasb@1Kings:11:15 @For it came about, when David was in Edom, and Joab the commander of the army had gone up to bury the slain, and had struck down every male in Edom

nasb@1Kings:11:18 @They arose from Midian and came to Paran; and they took men with them from Paran and came to Egypt, to Pharaoh king of Egypt, who gave him a house and assigned him food and gave him land.

nasb@1Kings:11:21 @But when Hadad heard in Egypt that David slept with his fathers and that Joab the commander of the army was dead, Hadad said to Pharaoh, "Send me away, that I may go to my own country."

nasb@1Kings:11:22 @Then Pharaoh said to him, "But what have you lacked with me, that behold, you are seeking to go to your own country?" And he answered, "Nothing; nevertheless you must surely let me go."

nasb@1Kings:11:24 @He gathered men to himself and became leader of a marauding band, after David slew them of Zobah; and they went to Damascus and stayed there, and reigned in Damascus.

nasb@1Kings:11:26 @Then Jeroboam the son of Nebat, an Ephraimite of Zeredah, Solomon's servant, whose mother's name was Zeruah, a widow, also rebelled against the king.

nasb@1Kings:11:29 @It came about at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite found him on the road. Now Ahijah had clothed himself with a new cloak; and both of them were alone in the field.

nasb@1Kings:11:33 @because they have forsaken Me, and have worshiped Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, Chemosh the god of Moab, and Milcom the god of the sons of Ammon; and they have not walked in My ways, doing what is right in My sight and observing My statutes and My ordinances, as his father David did.

nasb@1Kings:11:34 @'Nevertheless I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him ruler all the days of his life, for the sake of My servant David whom I chose, who observed My commandments and My statutes;

nasb@1Kings:11:36 @'But to his son I will give one tribe, that My servant David may have a lamp always before Me in Jerusalem, the city where I have chosen for Myself to put My name.

nasb@1Kings:11:38 @'Then it will be, that if you listen to all that I command you and walk in My ways, and do what is right in My sight by observing My statutes and My commandments, as My servant David did, then I will be with you and build you an enduring house as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.

nasb@1Kings:11:42 @Thus the time that Solomon reigned in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

nasb@1Kings:12:1 @Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.

nasb@1Kings:12:3 @Then they sent and called him, and Jeroboam and all the assembly of Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

nasb@1Kings:12:5 @Then he said to them, " Depart for three days, then return to me." So the people departed.

nasb@1Kings:12:6 @King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon while he was still alive, saying, "How do you counsel me to answer this people?"

nasb@1Kings:12:8 @But he forsook the counsel of the elders which they had given him, and consulted with the young men who grew up with him and served him.

nasb@1Kings:12:9 @So he said to them, "What counsel do you give that we may answer this people who have spoken to me, saying, 'Lighten the yoke which your father put on us'?"

nasb@1Kings:12:10 @The young men who grew up with him spoke to him, saying, "Thus you shall say to this people who spoke to you, saying, 'Your father made our yoke heavy, now you make it lighter for us!' But you shall speak to them, 'My little finger is thicker than my father's loins!

nasb@1Kings:12:12 @Then Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day as the king had directed, saying, " Return to me on the third day."

nasb@1Kings:12:14 @and he spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, " My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions."

nasb@1Kings:12:20 @It came about when all Israel heard that Jeroboam had returned, that they sent and called him to the assembly and made him king over all Israel. None but the tribe of Judah followed the house of David.

nasb@1Kings:12:21 @Now when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled all the house of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, 180,000 chosen men who were warriors, to fight against the house of Israel to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam the son of Solomon.

nasb@1Kings:12:22 @But the word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

nasb@1Kings:12:24 @'Thus says the LORD, "You must not go up and fight against your relatives the sons of Israel; return every man to his house, for this thing has come from Me."'" So they listened to the word of the LORD, and returned and went their way according to the word of the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:12:27" @ If this people go up to offer sacrifices in the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, then the heart of this people will return to their lord, even to Rehoboam king of Judah; and they will kill me and return to Rehoboam king of Judah."

nasb@1Kings:12:30 @Now this thing became a sin, for the people went to worship before the one as far as Dan.

nasb@1Kings:13:1 @Now behold, there came a man of God from Judah to Bethel by the word of the LORD, while Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.

nasb@1Kings:13:2 @He cried against the altar by the word of the LORD, and said, "O altar, altar, thus says the LORD, 'Behold, a son shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and on you he shall sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and human bones shall be burned on you.'"

nasb@1Kings:13:3 @Then he gave a sign the same day, saying, " This is the sign which the LORD has spoken, 'Behold, the altar shall be split apart and the ashes which are on it shall be poured out.'"

nasb@1Kings:13:6 @The king said to the man of God, "Please entreat the LORD your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me." So the man of God entreated the LORD, and the king's hand was restored to him, and it became as it was before.

nasb@1Kings:13:7 @Then the king said to the man of God, "Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward."

nasb@1Kings:13:8 @But the man of God said to the king, " If you were to give me half your house I would not go with you, nor would I eat bread or drink water in this place.

nasb@1Kings:13:9" @For so it was commanded me by the word of the LORD, saying, 'You shall eat no bread, nor drink water, nor return by the way which you came.'"

nasb@1Kings:13:10 @So he went another way and did not return by the way which he came to Bethel.

nasb@1Kings:13:11 @Now an old prophet was living in Bethel; and his sons came and told him all the deeds which the man of God had done that day in Bethel; the words which he had spoken to the king, these also they related to their father.

nasb@1Kings:13:12 @Their father said to them, "Which way did he go?" Now his sons had seen the way which the man of God who came from Judah had gone.

nasb@1Kings:13:13 @Then he said to his sons, "Saddle the donkey for me." So they saddled the donkey for him and he rode away on it.

nasb@1Kings:13:14 @So he went after the man of God and found him sitting under an oak; and he said to him, "Are you the man of God who came from Judah?" And he said, "I am."

nasb@1Kings:13:15 @Then he said to him, "Come home with me and eat bread."

nasb@1Kings:13:17" @For a command came to me by the word of the LORD, 'You shall eat no bread, nor drink water there; do not return by going the way which you came.'"

nasb@1Kings:13:18 @He said to him, " I also am a prophet like you, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, 'Bring him back with you to your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.'" But he lied to him.

nasb@1Kings:13:20 @Now it came about, as they were sitting down at the table, that the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back;

nasb@1Kings:13:21 @and he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because you have disobeyed the command of the LORD, and have not observed the commandment which the LORD your God commanded you,

nasb@1Kings:13:22 @but have returned and eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which He said to you, "Eat no bread and drink no water"; your body shall not come to the grave of your fathers.'"

nasb@1Kings:13:23 @It came about after he had eaten bread and after he had drunk, that he saddled the donkey for him, for the prophet whom he had brought back.

nasb@1Kings:13:24 @Now when he had gone, a lion met him on the way and killed him, and his body was thrown on the road, with the donkey standing beside it; the lion also was standing beside the body.

nasb@1Kings:13:25 @And behold, men passed by and saw the body thrown on the road, and the lion standing beside the body; so they came and told it in the city where the old prophet lived.

nasb@1Kings:13:27 @Then he spoke to his sons, saying, "Saddle the donkey for me." And they saddled it.

nasb@1Kings:13:29 @So the prophet took up the body of the man of God and laid it on the donkey and brought it back, and he came to the city of the old prophet to mourn and to bury him.

nasb@1Kings:13:31 @After he had buried him, he spoke to his sons, saying, "When I die, bury me in the grave in which the man of God is buried; lay my bones beside his bones.

nasb@1Kings:15:2" @Inasmuch as I exalted you from the dust and made you leader over My people Israel, and you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made My people Israel sin, provoking Me to anger with their sins,

nasb@1Kings:15:3 @behold, I will consume Baasha and his house, and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat.

nasb@1Kings:15:6 @And Baasha slept with his fathers and was buried in Tirzah, and Elah his son became king in his place.

nasb@1Kings:15:7 @Moreover, the word of the LORD through the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani also came against Baasha and his household, both because of all the evil which he did in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck it.

nasb@1Kings:15:8 @In the twenty-sixth year of Asa king of Judah, Elah the son of Baasha became king over Israel at Tirzah, and reigned two years.

nasb@1Kings:15:10 @Then Zimri went in and struck him and put him to death in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and became king in his place.

nasb@1Kings:15:11 @It came about when he became king, as soon as he sat on his throne, that he killed all the household of Baasha; he did not leave a single male, neither of his relatives nor of his friends.

nasb@1Kings:15:22 @But the people who followed Omri prevailed over the people who followed Tibni the son of Ginath. And Tibni died and Omri became king.

nasb@1Kings:15:23 @In the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel and reigned twelve years; he reigned six years at Tirzah.

nasb@1Kings:15:24 @He bought the hill Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver; and he built on the hill, and named the city which he built Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the owner of the hill.

nasb@1Kings:15:28 @So Omri slept with his fathers and was buried in Samaria; and Ahab his son became king in his place.

nasb@1Kings:15:29 @Now Ahab the son of Omri became king over Israel in the thirty-eighth year of Asa king of Judah, and Ahab the son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria twenty-two years.

nasb@1Kings:15:31 @It came about, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he married Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went to serve Baal and worshiped him.

nasb@1Kings:16:2 @The word of the LORD came to him, saying,

nasb@1Kings:16:6 @The ravens brought him bread and meat in the morning and bread and meat in the evening, and he would drink from the brook.

nasb@1Kings:16:8 @Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying,

nasb@1Kings:16:10 @So he arose and went to Zarephath, and when he came to the gate of the city, behold, a widow was there gathering sticks; and he called to her and said, "Please get me a little water in a jar, that I may drink."

nasb@1Kings:16:11 @As she was going to get it, he called to her and said, "Please bring me a piece of bread in your hand."

nasb@1Kings:16:12 @But she said, " As the LORD your God lives, I have no bread, only a handful of flour in the bowl and a little oil in the jar; and behold, I am gathering a few sticks that I may go in and prepare for me and my son, that we may eat it and die."

nasb@1Kings:16:13 @Then Elijah said to her, "Do not fear; go, do as you have said, but make me a little bread cake from it first and bring it out to me, and afterward you may make one for yourself and for your son.

nasb@1Kings:16:16 @The bowl of flour was not exhausted nor did the jar of oil become empty, according to the word of the LORD which He spoke through Elijah.

nasb@1Kings:16:17 @Now it came about after these things that the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became sick; and his sickness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.

nasb@1Kings:16:18 @So she said to Elijah, " What do I have to do with you, O man of God? You have come to me to bring my iniquity to remembrance and to put my son to death!"

nasb@1Kings:16:19 @He said to her, "Give me your son." Then he took him from her bosom and carried him up to the upper room where he was living, and laid him on his own bed.

nasb@1Kings:16:21 @Then he stretched himself upon the child three times, and called to the LORD and said, "O LORD my God, I pray You, let this child's life return to him."

nasb@1Kings:17:1 @Now it happened after many days that the word of the LORD came to Elijah in the third year, saying, "Go, show yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the face of the earth."

nasb@1Kings:17:5 @Then Ahab said to Obadiah, "Go through the land to all the springs of water and to all the valleys; perhaps we will find grass and keep the horses and mules alive, and not have to kill some of the cattle."

nasb@1Kings:17:7 @Now as Obadiah was on the way, behold, Elijah met him, and he recognized him and fell on his face and said, "Is this you, Elijah my master?"

nasb@1Kings:17:9 @He said, "What sin have I committed, that you are giving your servant into the hand of Ahab to put me to death?

nasb@1Kings:17:12" @It will come about when I leave you that the Spirit of the LORD will carry you where I do not know; so when I come and tell Ahab and he cannot find you, he will kill me, although I your servant have feared the LORD from my youth.

nasb@1Kings:17:14" @And now you are saying, 'Go, say to your master, "Behold, Elijah is here"'; he will then kill me."

nasb@1Kings:17:16 @So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him; and Ahab went to meet Elijah.

nasb@1Kings:17:18 @He said, "I have not troubled Israel, but you and your father's house have, because you have forsaken the commandments of the LORD and you have followed the Baals.

nasb@1Kings:17:19" @Now then send and gather to me all Israel at Mount Carmel, together with 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of the Asherah, who eat at Jezebel's table."

nasb@1Kings:17:20 @So Ahab sent a message among all the sons of Israel and brought the prophets together at Mount Carmel.

nasb@1Kings:17:21 @Elijah came near to all the people and said, " How long will you hesitate between two opinions? If the LORD is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him." But the people did not answer him a word.

nasb@1Kings:17:22 @Then Elijah said to the people, "I alone am left a prophet of the LORD, but Baal's prophets are 450 men.

nasb@1Kings:17:24" @Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the LORD, and the God who answers by fire, He is God." And all the people said, " That is a good idea."

nasb@1Kings:17:25 @So Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, "Choose one ox for yourselves and prepare it first for you are many, and call on the name of your god, but put no fire under it."

nasb@1Kings:17:26 @Then they took the ox which was given them and they prepared it and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon saying, "O Baal, answer us." But there was no voice and no one answered. And they leaped about the altar which they made.

nasb@1Kings:17:27 @It came about at noon, that Elijah mocked them and said, "Call out with a loud voice, for he is a god; either he is occupied or gone aside, or is on a journey, or perhaps he is asleep and needs to be awakened."

nasb@1Kings:17:29 @When midday was past, they raved until the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice; but there was no voice, no one answered, and no one paid attention.

nasb@1Kings:17:30 @Then Elijah said to all the people, "Come near to me." So all the people came near to him. And he repaired the altar of the LORD which had been torn down.

nasb@1Kings:17:31 @Elijah took twelve stones according to the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the word of the LORD had come, saying, " Israel shall be your name."

nasb@1Kings:17:32 @So with the stones he built an altar in the name of the LORD, and he made a trench around the altar, large enough to hold two measures of seed.

nasb@1Kings:17:34 @And he said, "Fill four pitchers with water and pour it on the burnt offering and on the wood." And he said, "Do it a second time," and they did it a second time. And he said, "Do it a third time," and they did it a third time.

nasb@1Kings:17:36 @At the time of the offering of the evening sacrifice, Elijah the prophet came near and said, " O LORD, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, today let it be known that You are God in Israel and that I am Your servant and I have done all these things at Your word.

nasb@1Kings:17:37" @Answer me, O LORD, answer me, that this people may know that You, O LORD, are God, and that You have turned their heart back again."

nasb@1Kings:17:38 @Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench.

nasb@1Kings:17:42 @So Ahab went up to eat and drink. But Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he crouched down on the earth and put his face between his knees.

nasb@1Kings:17:43 @He said to his servant, "Go up now, look toward the sea." So he went up and looked and said, "There is nothing." And he said, "Go back" seven times.

nasb@1Kings:17:44 @It came about at the seventh time, that he said, "Behold, a cloud as small as a man's hand is coming up from the sea." And he said, "Go up, say to Ahab, 'Prepare your chariot and go down, so that the heavy shower does not stop you.'"

nasb@1Kings:18:2 @Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, " So may the gods do to me and even more, if I do not make your life as the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time."

nasb@1Kings:18:3 @And he was afraid and arose and ran for his life and came to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.

nasb@1Kings:18:4 @But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree; and he requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is enough; now, O LORD, take my life, for I am not better than my fathers."

nasb@1Kings:18:7 @The angel of the LORD came again a second time and touched him and said, "Arise, eat, because the journey is too great for you."

nasb@1Kings:18:9 @Then he came there to a cave and lodged there; and behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and He said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

nasb@1Kings:18:13 @When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice came to him and said, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"

nasb@1Kings:18:16 @and Jehu the son of Nimshi you shall anoint king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place.

nasb@1Kings:18:17" @It shall come about, the one who escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu shall put to death, and the one who escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha shall put to death.

nasb@1Kings:18:20 @He left the oxen and ran after Elijah and said, "Please let me kiss my father and my mother, then I will follow you." And he said to him, "Go back again, for what have I done to you?"

nasb@1Kings:18:21 @So he returned from following him, and took the pair of oxen and sacrificed them and boiled their flesh with the implements of the oxen, and gave it to the people and they ate. Then he arose and followed Elijah and ministered to him.

nasb@1Kings:19:2 @Then he sent messengers to the city to Ahab king of Israel and said to him, "Thus says Ben-hadad,

nasb@1Kings:19:5 @Then the messengers returned and said, "Thus says Ben-hadad, 'Surely, I sent to you saying, "You shall give me your silver and your gold and your wives and your children,"

nasb@1Kings:19:6 @but about this time tomorrow I will send my servants to you, and they will search your house and the houses of your servants; and whatever is desirable in your eyes, they will take in their hand and carry away.'"

nasb@1Kings:19:7 @Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land and said, "Please observe and see how this man is looking for trouble; for he sent to me for my wives and my children and my silver and my gold, and I did not refuse him."

nasb@1Kings:19:9 @So he said to the messengers of Ben-hadad, "Tell my lord the king, 'All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do, but this thing I cannot do.'" And the messengers departed and brought him word again.

nasb@1Kings:19:10 @Ben-hadad sent to him and said, "May the gods do so to me and more also, if the dust of Samaria will suffice for handfuls for all the people who follow me."

nasb@1Kings:19:12 @When Ben-hadad heard this message, as he was drinking with the kings in the temporary shelters, he said to his servants, "Station yourselves." So they stationed themselves against the city.

nasb@1Kings:19:14 @Ahab said, "By whom?" So he said, "Thus says the LORD, 'By the young men of the rulers of the provinces.'" Then he said, "Who shall begin the battle?" And he answered, "You."

nasb@1Kings:19:15 @Then he mustered the young men of the rulers of the provinces, and there were 232; and after them he mustered all the people, even all the sons of Israel, 7,000.

nasb@1Kings:19:17 @The young men of the rulers of the provinces went out first; and Ben-hadad sent out and they told him, saying, "Men have come out from Samaria."

nasb@1Kings:19:18 @Then he said, "If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive."

nasb@1Kings:19:19 @So these went out from the city, the young men of the rulers of the provinces, and the army which followed them.

nasb@1Kings:19:20 @They killed each his man; and the Arameans fled and Israel pursued them, and Ben-hadad king of Aram escaped on a horse with horsemen.

nasb@1Kings:19:21 @The king of Israel went out and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Arameans with a great slaughter.

nasb@1Kings:19:22 @Then the prophet came near to the king of Israel and said to him, "Go, strengthen yourself and observe and see what you have to do; for at the turn of the year the king of Aram will come up against you."

nasb@1Kings:19:26 @At the turn of the year, Ben-hadad mustered the Arameans and went up to Aphek to fight against Israel.

nasb@1Kings:19:27 @The sons of Israel were mustered and were provisioned and went to meet them; and the sons of Israel camped before them like two little flocks of goats, but the Arameans filled the country.

nasb@1Kings:19:28 @Then a man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because the Arameans have said, " The LORD is a god of the mountains, but He is not a god of the valleys," therefore I will give all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.'"

nasb@1Kings:19:29 @So they camped one over against the other seven days. And on the seventh day the battle was joined, and the sons of Israel killed of the Arameans 100,000 foot soldiers in one day.

nasb@1Kings:19:30 @But the rest fled to Aphek into the city, and the wall fell on 27,000 men who were left. And Ben-hadad fled and came into the city into an inner chamber.

nasb@1Kings:19:31 @His servants said to him, "Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings, please let us put sackcloth on our loins and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; perhaps he will save your life."

nasb@1Kings:19:32 @So they girded sackcloth on their loins and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, " Your servant Ben-hadad says, 'Please let me live.'" And he said, "Is he still alive? He is my brother."

nasb@1Kings:19:33 @Now the men took this as an omen, and quickly catching his word said, "Your brother Ben-hadad." Then he said, "Go, bring him." Then Ben-hadad came out to him, and he took him up into the chariot.

nasb@1Kings:19:35 @Now a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to another by the word of the LORD, "Please strike me." But the man refused to strike him.

nasb@1Kings:19:36 @Then he said to him, "Because you have not listened to the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as you have departed from me, a lion will kill you." And as soon as he had departed from him a lion found him and killed him.

nasb@1Kings:19:37 @Then he found another man and said, "Please strike me." And the man struck him, wounding him.

nasb@1Kings:19:39 @As the king passed by, he cried to the king and said, "Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and behold, a man turned aside and brought a man to me and said, 'Guard this man; if for any reason he is missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.'

nasb@1Kings:19:40" @While your servant was busy here and there, he was gone." And the king of Israel said to him, "So shall your judgment be; you yourself have decided it."

nasb@1Kings:19:43 @So the king of Israel went to his house sullen and vexed, and came to Samaria.

nasb@1Kings:20:1 @Now it came about after these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel beside the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

nasb@1Kings:20:2 @Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, " Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden because it is close beside my house, and I will give you a better vineyard than it in its place; if you like, I will give you the price of it in money."

nasb@1Kings:20:3 @But Naboth said to Ahab, "The LORD forbid me that I should give you the inheritance of my fathers."

nasb@1Kings:20:4 @So Ahab came into his house sullen and vexed because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him; for he said, "I will not give you the inheritance of my fathers." And he lay down on his bed and turned away his face and ate no food.

nasb@1Kings:20:5 @But Jezebel his wife came to him and said to him, "How is it that your spirit is so sullen that you are not eating food?"

nasb@1Kings:20:6 @So he said to her, "Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite and said to him, 'Give me your vineyard for money; or else, if it pleases you, I will give you a vineyard in its place.' But he said, 'I will not give you my vineyard.'"

nasb@1Kings:20:8 @So she wrote letters in Ahab's name and sealed them with his seal, and sent letters to the elders and to the nobles who were living with Naboth in his city.

nasb@1Kings:20:10 @and seat two worthless men before him, and let them testify against him, saying, ' You cursed God and the king.' Then take him out and stone him to death."

nasb@1Kings:20:11 @So the men of his city, the elders and the nobles who lived in his city, did as Jezebel had sent word to them, just as it was written in the letters which she had sent them.

nasb@1Kings:20:12 @They proclaimed a fast and seated Naboth at the head of the people.

nasb@1Kings:20:13 @Then the two worthless men came in and sat before him; and the worthless men testified against him, even against Naboth, before the people, saying, "Naboth cursed God and the king." So they took him outside the city and stoned him to death with stones.

nasb@1Kings:20:17 @Then the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

nasb@1Kings:20:18" @Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria; behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth where he has gone down to take possession of it.

nasb@1Kings:20:20 @Ahab said to Elijah, " Have you found me, O my enemy?" And he answered, "I have found you, because you have sold yourself to do evil in the sight of the LORD.

nasb@1Kings:20:22 @and I will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, because of the provocation with which you have provoked Me to anger, and because you have made Israel sin.

nasb@1Kings:20:27 @It came about when Ahab heard these words, that he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and fasted, and he lay in sackcloth and went about despondently.

nasb@1Kings:20:29" @Do you see how Ahab has humbled himself before MeNULL Because he has humbled himself before Me, I will not bring the evil in his days, but I will bring the evil upon his house in his son's days."

nasb@1Kings:21:2 @In the third year Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came down to the king of Israel.

nasb@1Kings:21:4 @And he said to Jehoshaphat, "Will you go with me to battle at Ramoth-gilead?" And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, " I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."

nasb@2Kings:2:7 @Now fifty men of the sons of the prophets went and stood opposite them at a distance, while the two of them stood by the Jordan.

nasb@2Kings:2:9 @When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you before I am taken from you." And Elisha said, "Please, let a double portion of your spirit be upon me."

nasb@2Kings:2:10 @He said, "You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so."

nasb@2Kings:2:12 @Elisha saw it and cried out, " My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!" And he saw Elijah no more. Then he took hold of his own clothes and tore them in two pieces.

nasb@2Kings:2:15 @Now when the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho opposite him saw him, they said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." And they came to meet him and bowed themselves to the ground before him.

nasb@2Kings:2:16 @They said to him, "Behold now, there are with your servants fifty strong men, please let them go and search for your master; perhaps the Spirit of the LORD has taken him up and cast him on some mountain or into some valley." And he said, "You shall not send."

nasb@2Kings:2:17 @But when they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, "Send." They sent therefore fifty men; and they searched three days but did not find him.

nasb@2Kings:2:19 @Then the men of the city said to Elisha, "Behold now, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad and the land is unfruitful."

nasb@2Kings:2:20 @He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." So they brought it to him.

nasb@2Kings:2:23 @Then he went up from there to Bethel; and as he was going up by the way, young lads came out from the city and mocked him and said to him, "Go up, you baldhead; go up, you baldhead!"

nasb@2Kings:2:24 @When he looked behind him and saw them, he cursed them in the name of the LORD. Then two female bears came out of the woods and tore up forty-two lads of their number.

nasb@2Kings:2:25 @He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.

nasb@2Kings:3:1 @Now Jehoram the son of Ahab became king over Israel at Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.

nasb@2Kings:3:4 @Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep breeder, and used to pay the king of Israel 100,000 lambs and the wool of 100,000 rams.

nasb@2Kings:3:6 @And King Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time and mustered all Israel.

nasb@2Kings:3:7 @Then he went and sent word to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, "The king of Moab has rebelled against me. Will you go with me to fight against Moab?" And he said, "I will go up; I am as you are, my people as your people, my horses as your horses."

nasb@2Kings:3:15" @But now bring me a minstrel." And it came about, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.

nasb@2Kings:3:20 @It happened in the morning about the time of offering the sacrifice, that behold, water came by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.

nasb@2Kings:3:21 @Now all the Moabites heard that the kings had come up to fight against them. And all who were able to put on armor and older were summoned and stood on the border.

nasb@2Kings:3:24 @But when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites arose and struck the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they went forward into the land, slaughtering the Moabites.

nasb@2Kings:3:26 @When the king of Moab saw that the battle was too fierce for him, he took with him 700 men who drew swords, to break through to the king of Edom; but they could not.

nasb@2Kings:3:27 @Then he took his oldest son who was to reign in his place, and offered him as a burnt offering on the wall. And there came great wrath against Israel, and they departed from him and returned to their own land.

nasb@2Kings:4:1 @Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD; and the creditor has come to take my two children to be his slaves."

nasb@2Kings:4:2 @Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your maidservant has nothing in the house except a jar of oil."

nasb@2Kings:4:6 @When the vessels were full, she said to her son, "Bring me another vessel." And he said to her, "There is not one vessel more." And the oil stopped.

nasb@2Kings:4:7 @Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt, and you and your sons can live on the rest."

nasb@2Kings:4:8 @Now there came a day when Elisha passed over to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman, and she persuaded him to eat food. And so it was, as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat food.

nasb@2Kings:4:10" @Please, let us make a little walled upper chamber and let us set a bed for him there, and a table and a chair and a lampstand; and it shall be, when he comes to us, that he can turn in there."

nasb@2Kings:4:11 @One day he came there and turned in to the upper chamber and rested.

nasb@2Kings:4:18 @When the child was grown, the day came that he went out to his father to the reapers.

nasb@2Kings:4:22 @Then she called to her husband and said, "Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and return."

nasb@2Kings:4:24 @Then she saddled a donkey and said to her servant, "Drive and go forward; do not slow down the pace for me unless I tell you."

nasb@2Kings:4:25 @So she went and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to Gehazi his servant, "Behold, there is the Shunammite.

nasb@2Kings:4:26" @Please run now to meet her and say to her, 'Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?'" And she answered, "It is well."

nasb@2Kings:4:27 @When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to push her away; but the man of God said, "Let her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; and the LORD has hidden it from me and has not told me."

nasb@2Kings:4:28 @Then she said, "Did I ask for a son from my lord? Did I not say, ' Do not deceive me'?"

nasb@2Kings:4:29 @Then he said to Gehazi, " Gird up your loins and take my staff in your hand, and go your way; if you meet any man, do not salute him, and if anyone salutes you, do not answer him; and lay my staff on the lad's face."

nasb@2Kings:4:31 @Then Gehazi passed on before them and laid the staff on the lad's face, but there was no sound or response. So he returned to meet him and told him, "The lad has not awakened."

nasb@2Kings:4:32 @When Elisha came into the house, behold the lad was dead and laid on his bed.

nasb@2Kings:4:34 @And he went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth and his eyes on his eyes and his hands on his hands, and he stretched himself on him; and the flesh of the child became warm.

nasb@2Kings:4:35 @Then he returned and walked in the house once back and forth, and went up and stretched himself on him; and the lad sneezed seven times and the lad opened his eyes.

nasb@2Kings:4:36 @He called Gehazi and said, "Call this Shunammite." So he called her. And when she came in to him, he said, "Take up your son."

nasb@2Kings:4:39 @Then one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine and gathered from it his lap full of wild gourds, and came and sliced them into the pot of stew, for they did not know what they were.

nasb@2Kings:4:40 @So they poured it out for the men to eat. And as they were eating of the stew, they cried out and said, "O man of God, there is death in the pot." And they were unable to eat.

nasb@2Kings:4:41 @But he said, "Now bring meal." He threw it into the pot and said, "Pour it out for the people that they may eat." Then there was no harm in the pot.

nasb@2Kings:4:42 @Now a man came from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And he said, " Give them to the people that they may eat."

nasb@2Kings:4:43 @His attendant said, "What, will I set this before a hundred men?" But he said, "Give them to the people that they may eat, for thus says the LORD, 'They shall eat and have some left over.'"

nasb@2Kings:4:44 @So he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the LORD.

nasb@2Kings:5:2 @Now the Arameans had gone out in bands and had taken captive a little girl from the land of Israel; and she waited on Naaman's wife.

nasb@2Kings:5:6 @He brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, "And now as this letter comes to you, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may cure him of his leprosy."

nasb@2Kings:5:7 @When the king of Israel read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, " Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man is sending word to me to cure a man of his leprosy? But consider now, and see how he is seeking a quarrel against me."

nasb@2Kings:5:8 @It happened when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent word to the king, saying, "Why have you torn your clothes? Now let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel."

nasb@2Kings:5:9 @So Naaman came with his horses and his chariots and stood at the doorway of the house of Elisha.

nasb@2Kings:5:10 @Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, " Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh will be restored to you and you will be clean."

nasb@2Kings:5:11 @But Naaman was furious and went away and said, "Behold, I thought, 'He will surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the place and cure the leper.'

nasb@2Kings:5:13 @Then his servants came near and spoke to him and said, " My father, had the prophet told you to do some great thing, would you not have done it? How much more then, when he says to you, 'Wash, and be clean'?"

nasb@2Kings:5:14 @So he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the word of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child and he was clean.

nasb@2Kings:5:15 @When he returned to the man of God with all his company, and came and stood before him, he said, "Behold now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel; so please take a present from your servant now."

nasb@2Kings:5:19 @He said to him, " Go in peace." So he departed from him some distance.

nasb@2Kings:5:20 @But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, thought, "Behold, my master has spared this Naaman the Aramean, by not receiving from his hands what he brought. As the LORD lives, I will run after him and take something from him."

nasb@2Kings:5:21 @So Gehazi pursued Naaman. When Naaman saw one running after him, he came down from the chariot to meet him and said, "Is all well?"

nasb@2Kings:5:22 @He said, " All is well. My master has sent me, saying, 'Behold, just now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothes.'"

nasb@2Kings:5:24 @When he came to the hill, he took them from their hand and deposited them in the house, and he sent the men away, and they departed.

nasb@2Kings:5:26 @Then he said to him, "Did not my heart go with you, when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money and to receive clothes and olive groves and vineyards and sheep and oxen and male and female servants?

nasb@2Kings:5:4 @So he went with them; and when they came to the Jordan, they cut down trees.

nasb@2Kings:5:9 @The man of God sent word to the king of Israel saying, "Beware that you do not pass this place, for the Arameans are coming down there."

nasb@2Kings:5:11 @Now the heart of the king of Aram was enraged over this thing; and he called his servants and said to them, "Will you tell me which of us is for the king of Israel?"

nasb@2Kings:5:14 @He sent horses and chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and surrounded the city.

nasb@2Kings:5:18 @When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD and said, "Strike this people with blindness, I pray." So He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.

nasb@2Kings:5:19 @Then Elisha said to them, "This is not the way, nor is this the city; follow me and I will bring you to the man whom you seek." And he brought them to Samaria.

nasb@2Kings:5:20 @When they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, "O LORD, open the eyes of these men, that they may see." So the LORD opened their eyes and they saw; and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.

nasb@2Kings:5:23 @So he prepared a great feast for them; and when they had eaten and drunk he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the marauding bands of Arameans did not come again into the land of Israel.

nasb@2Kings:5:24 @Now it came about after this, that Ben-hadad king of Aram gathered all his army and went up and besieged Samaria.

nasb@2Kings:5:28 @And the king said to her, " What is the matter with you?" And she answered, "This woman said to me, 'Give your son that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.'

nasb@2Kings:5:31 @Then he said, "May God do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat remains on him today."

nasb@2Kings:5:32 @Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And the king sent a man from his presence; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, "Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door and hold the door shut against him. Is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?"

nasb@2Kings:5:33 @While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him and he said, " Behold, this evil is from the LORD; why should I wait for the LORD any longerNULL"

nasb@2Kings:6:1 @Then Elisha said, "Listen to the word of the LORD; thus says the LORD, ' Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.'"

nasb@2Kings:6:3 @Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate; and they said to one another, "Why do we sit here until we die?

nasb@2Kings:6:4" @If we say, 'We will enter the city,' then the famine is in the city and we will die there; and if we sit here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us go over to the camp of the Arameans. If they spare us, we will live; and if they kill us, we will but die."

nasb@2Kings:6:5 @They arose at twilight to go to the camp of the Arameans; when they came to the outskirts of the camp of the Arameans, behold, there was no one there.

nasb@2Kings:6:6 @For the Lord had caused the army of the Arameans to hear a sound of chariots and a sound of horses, even the sound of a great army, so that they said to one another, "Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us."

nasb@2Kings:6:8 @When these lepers came to the outskirts of the camp, they entered one tent and ate and drank, and carried from there silver and gold and clothes, and went and hid them; and they returned and entered another tent and carried from there also, and went and hid them.

nasb@2Kings:6:9 @Then they said to one another, "We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, but we are keeping silent; if we wait until morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let us go and tell the king's household."

nasb@2Kings:6:10 @So they came and called to the gatekeepers of the city, and they told them, saying, "We came to the camp of the Arameans, and behold, there was no one there, nor the voice of man, only the horses tied and the donkeys tied, and the tents just as they were."

nasb@2Kings:6:12 @Then the king arose in the night and said to his servants, "I will now tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know that we are hungry; therefore they have gone from the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, 'When they come out of the city, we will capture them alive and get into the city.'"

nasb@2Kings:6:13 @One of his servants said, "Please, let some men take five of the horses which remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they will be in any case like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it; behold, they will be in any case like all the multitude of Israel who have already perished, so let us send and see."

nasb@2Kings:6:14 @They took therefore two chariots with horses, and the king sent after the army of the Arameans, saying, "Go and see."

nasb@2Kings:6:15 @They went after them to the Jordan, and behold, all the way was full of clothes and equipment which the Arameans had thrown away in their haste. Then the messengers returned and told the king.

nasb@2Kings:6:16 @So the people went out and plundered the camp of the Arameans. Then a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.

nasb@2Kings:6:17 @Now the king appointed the royal officer on whose hand he leaned to have charge of the gate; but the people trampled on him at the gate, and he died just as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.

nasb@2Kings:6:18 @It happened just as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, " Two measures of barley for a shekel and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, will be sold tomorrow about this time at the gate of Samaria."

nasb@2Kings:7:1 @Now Elisha spoke to the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying, "Arise and go with your household, and sojourn wherever you can sojourn; for the LORD has called for a famine, and it will even come on the land for seven years."

nasb@2Kings:7:4 @Now the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, "Please relate to me all the great things that Elisha has done."

nasb@2Kings:7:7 @Then Elisha came to Damascus. Now Ben-hadad king of Aram was sick, and it was told him, saying, " The man of God has come here."

nasb@2Kings:7:8 @The king said to Hazael, " Take a gift in your hand and go to meet the man of God, and inquire of the LORD by him, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'"

nasb@2Kings:7:9 @So Hazael went to meet him and took a gift in his hand, even every kind of good thing of Damascus, forty camels' loads; and he came and stood before him and said, " Your son Ben-hadad king of Aram has sent me to you, saying, 'Will I recover from this sickness?'"

nasb@2Kings:7:10 @Then Elisha said to him, " Go, say to him, 'You will surely recover,' but the LORD has shown me that he will certainly die."

nasb@2Kings:7:11 @He fixed his gaze steadily on him until he was ashamed, and the man of God wept.

nasb@2Kings:7:12 @Hazael said, "Why does my lord weep?" Then he answered, "Because I know the evil that you will do to the sons of Israel- their strongholds you will set on fire, and their young men you will kill with the sword, and their little ones you will dash in pieces, and their women with child you will rip up."

nasb@2Kings:7:13 @Then Hazael said, "But what is your servant, who is but a dog, that he should do this great thing?" And Elisha answered, " The LORD has shown me that you will be king over Aram."

nasb@2Kings:7:14 @So he departed from Elisha and returned to his master, who said to him, "What did Elisha say to you?" And he answered, "He told me that you would surely recover."

nasb@2Kings:7:15 @On the following day, he took the cover and dipped it in water and spread it on his face, so that he died. And Hazael became king in his place.

nasb@2Kings:7:16 @Now in the fifth year of Joram the son of Ahab king of Israel, Jehoshaphat being then the king of Judah, Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah became king.

nasb@2Kings:7:17 @He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.

nasb@2Kings:7:18 @He walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for the daughter of Ahab became his wife; and he did evil in the sight of the LORD.

nasb@2Kings:7:22 @So Edom revolted against Judah to this day. Then Libnah revolted at the same time.

nasb@2Kings:7:24 @So Joram slept with his fathers and was buried with his fathers in the city of David; and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.

nasb@2Kings:7:26 @Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned one year in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Athaliah the granddaughter of Omri king of Israel.

nasb@2Kings:7:28 @Then he went with Joram the son of Ahab to war against Hazael king of Aram at Ramoth-gilead, and the Arameans wounded Joram.

nasb@2Kings:7:29 @So King Joram returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Arameans had inflicted on him at Ramah when he fought against Hazael king of Aram. Then Ahaziah the son of Jehoram king of Judah went down to see Joram the son of Ahab in Jezreel because he was sick.

nasb@2Kings:7:5 @When he came, behold, the captains of the army were sitting, and he said, "I have a word for you, O captain." And Jehu said, "For which one of us?" And he said, "For you, O captain."

nasb@2Kings:7:12 @They said, "It is a lie, tell us now." And he said, "Thus and thus he said to me, 'Thus says the LORD, "I have anointed you king over Israel."'"

nasb@2Kings:7:13 @Then they hurried and each man took his garment and placed it under him on the bare steps, and blew the trumpet, saying, "Jehu is king!"

nasb@2Kings:7:15 @but King Joram had returned to Jezreel to be healed of the wounds which the Arameans had inflicted on him when he fought with Hazael king of Aram. So Jehu said, "If this is your mind, then let no one escape or leave the city to go tell it in Jezreel."

nasb@2Kings:7:16 @Then Jehu rode in a chariot and went to Jezreel, for Joram was lying there. Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see Joram.

nasb@2Kings:7:17 @Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel and he saw the company of Jehu as he came, and said, "I see a company." And Joram said, "Take a horseman and send him to meet them and let him say, 'Is it peace?'"

nasb@2Kings:7:18 @So a horseman went to meet him and said, "Thus says the king, 'Is it peace?'" And Jehu said, " What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me." And the watchman reported, "The messenger came to them, but he did not return."

nasb@2Kings:7:19 @Then he sent out a second horseman, who came to them and said, "Thus says the king, 'Is it peace?'" And Jehu answered, "What have you to do with peace? Turn behind me."

nasb@2Kings:7:20 @The watchman reported, "He came even to them, and he did not return; and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously."

nasb@2Kings:7:21 @Then Joram said, "Get ready." And they made his chariot ready. Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu and found him in the property of Naboth the Jezreelite.

nasb@2Kings:7:25 @Then Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, "Take him up and cast him into the property of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite, for I remember when you and I were riding together after Ahab his father, that the LORD laid this oracle against him-

nasb@2Kings:7:27 @When Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. And Jehu pursued him and said, "Shoot him too, in the chariot." So they shot him at the ascent of Gur, which is at Ibleam. But he fled to Megiddo and died there.

nasb@2Kings:7:29 @Now in the eleventh year of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah became king over Judah.

nasb@2Kings:7:30 @When Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it, and she painted her eyes and adorned her head and looked out the window.

nasb@2Kings:7:33 @He said, "Throw her down." So they threw her down, and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall and on the horses, and he trampled her under foot.

nasb@2Kings:7:34 @When he came in, he ate and drank; and he said, "See now to this cursed woman and bury her, for she is a king's daughter."

nasb@2Kings:7:2" @Now, when this letter comes to you, since your master's sons are with you, as well as the chariots and horses and a fortified city and the weapons,

nasb@2Kings:7:6 @Then he wrote a letter to them a second time saying, "If you are on my side, and you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men, your master's sons, and come to me at Jezreel tomorrow about this time."

nasb@2Kings:7:7 @When the letter came to them, they took the king's sons and slaughtered them, seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him at Jezreel.

nasb@2Kings:7:20 @And Jehu said, " Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal." And they proclaimed it.

nasb@2Kings:7:21 @Then Jehu sent throughout Israel and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left who did not come. And when they went into the house of Baal, the house of Baal was filled from one end to the other.

nasb@2Kings:7:22 @He said to the one who was in charge of the wardrobe, "Bring out garments for all the worshipers of Baal." So he brought out garments for them.

nasb@2Kings:7:24 @Then they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had stationed for himself eighty men outside, and he had said, " The one who permits any of the men whom I bring into your hands to escape shall give up his life in exchange."

nasb@2Kings:7:25 @Then it came about, as soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the royal officers, " Go in, kill them; let none come out."

nasb@2Kings:13:6 @At that time Rezin king of Aram recovered Elath for Aram, and cleared the Judeans out of Elath entirely; and the Arameans came to Elath and have lived there to this day.

nasb@2Kings:13:7 @So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, "I am your servant and your son; come up and deliver me from the hand of the king of Aram and from the hand of the king of Israel, who are rising up against me."

nasb@2Kings:13:10 @Now King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and saw the altar which was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the pattern of the altar and its model, according to all its workmanship.

nasb@2Kings:13:17 @Then King Ahaz cut off the borders of the stands, and removed the laver from them; he also took down the sea from the bronze oxen which were under it and put it on a pavement of stone.

nasb@2Kings:14:4 @But the king of Assyria found conspiracy in Hoshea, who had sent messengers to So king of Egypt and had offered no tribute to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year; so the king of Assyria shut him up and bound him in prison.

nasb@2Kings:14:6 @In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria captured Samaria and carried Israel away into exile to Assyria, and settled them in Halah and Habor, on the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes.

nasb@2Kings:14:7 @Now this came about because the sons of Israel had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them up from the land of Egypt from under the hand of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and they had feared other gods

nasb@2Kings:14:13 @Yet the LORD warned Israel and Judah through all His prophets and every seer, saying, " Turn from your evil ways and keep My commandments, My statutes according to all the law which I commanded your fathers, and which I sent to you through My servants the prophets."

nasb@2Kings:14:16 @They forsook all the commandments of the LORD their God and made for themselves molten images, even two calves, and made an Asherah and worshiped all the host of heaven and served Baal.

nasb@2Kings:14:17 @Then they made their sons and their daughters pass through the fire, and practiced divination and enchantments, and sold themselves to do evil in the sight of the LORD, provoking Him.

nasb@2Kings:14:19 @Also Judah did not keep the commandments of the LORD their God, but walked in the customs which Israel had introduced.

nasb@2Kings:14:24 @The king of Assyria brought men from Babylon and from Cuthah and from Avva and from Hamath and Sephar-vaim, and settled them in the cities of Samaria in place of the sons of Israel. So they possessed Samaria and lived in its cities.

nasb@2Kings:14:25 @At the beginning of their living there, they did not fear the LORD; therefore the LORD sent lions among them which killed some of them.

nasb@2Kings:14:28 @So one of the priests whom they had carried away into exile from Samaria came and lived at Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the LORD.

nasb@2Kings:14:30 @The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,

nasb@2Kings:14:31 @and the Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak; and the Sepharvites burned their children in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech the gods of Sepharvaim.

nasb@2Kings:14:37" @The statutes and the ordinances and the law and the commandment which He wrote for you, you shall observe to do forever; and you shall not fear other gods.

nasb@2Kings:15:1 @Now it came about in the third year of Hoshea, the son of Elah king of Israel, that Hezekiah the son of Ahaz king of Judah became king.

nasb@2Kings:15:2 @He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Abi the daughter of Zechariah.

nasb@2Kings:15:9 @Now in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah king of Israel, Shalmaneser king of Assyria came up against Samaria and besieged it.

nasb@2Kings:15:11 @Then the king of Assyria carried Israel away into exile to Assyria, and put them in Halah and on the Habor, the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes,

nasb@2Kings:15:13 @Now in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Assyria came up against all the fortified cities of Judah and seized them.

nasb@2Kings:15:14 @Then Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, " I have done wrong. Withdraw from me; whatever you impose on me I will bear." So the king of Assyria required of Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

nasb@2Kings:15:16 @At that time Hezekiah cut off the gold from the doors of the temple of the LORD, and from the doorposts which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gave it to the king of Assyria.

nasb@2Kings:15:17 @Then the king of Assyria sent Tartan and Rab-saris and Rabshakeh from Lachish to King Hezekiah with a large army to Jerusalem. So they went up and came to Jerusalem.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:3 @The battle became heavy against Saul, and the archers overtook him; and he was wounded by the archers.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:4 @Then Saul said to his armor bearer, "Draw your sword and thrust me through with it, otherwise these uncircumcised will come and abuse me." But his armor bearer would not, for he was greatly afraid. Therefore Saul took his sword and fell on it.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:12 @all the valiant men arose and took away the body of Saul and the bodies of his sons and brought them to Jabesh, and they buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh, and fasted seven days.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:13 @So Saul died for his trespass which he committed against the LORD, because of the word of the LORD which he did not keep; and also because he asked counsel of a medium, making inquiry of it,

nasb@1Chronicles:10:2" @In times past, even when Saul was king, you were the one who led out and brought in Israel; and the LORD your God said to you, ' You shall shepherd My people Israel, and you shall be prince over My people Israel.'"

nasb@1Chronicles:10:3 @So all the elders of Israel came to the king at Hebron, and David made a covenant with them in Hebron before the LORD; and they anointed David king over Israel, according to the word of the LORD through Samuel.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:6 @Now David had said, "Whoever strikes down a Jebusite first shall be chief and commander." Joab the son of Zeruiah went up first, so he became chief.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:9 @David became greater and greater, for the LORD of hosts was with him.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:10 @Now these are the heads of the mighty men whom David had, who gave him strong support in his kingdom, together with all Israel, to make him king, according to the word of the LORD concerning Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:11 @These constitute the list of the mighty men whom David had- Jashobeam, the son of a Hachmonite, the chief of the thirty; he lifted up his spear against three hundred whom he killed at one time.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:12 @After him was Eleazar the son of Dodo, the Ahohite, who was one of the three mighty men.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:15 @Now three of the thirty chief men went down to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam, while the army of the Philistines was camping in the valley of Rephaim.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:17 @David had a craving and said, "Oh that someone would give me water to drink from the well of Bethlehem, which is by the gate!"

nasb@1Chronicles:10:19 @and he said, "Be it far from me before my God that I should do this. Shall I drink the blood of these men who went at the risk of their lives? For at the risk of their lives they brought it." Therefore he would not drink it. These things the three mighty men did.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:20 @As for Abshai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the thirty, and he swung his spear against three hundred and killed them; and he had a name as well as the thirty.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:21 @Of the three in the second rank he was the most honored and became their commander; however, he did not attain to the first three.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:24 @These things Benaiah the son of Jehoiada did, and had a name as well as the three mighty men.

nasb@1Chronicles:10:26 @Now the mighty men of the armies were Asahel the brother of Joab, Elhanan the son of Dodo of Bethlehem,

nasb@1Chronicles:10:37 @Hezro the Carmelite, Naarai the son of Ezbai,

nasb@1Chronicles:10:47 @Eliel and Obed and Jaasiel the Mezobaite.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:1 @Now these are the ones who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still restricted because of Saul the son of Kish; and they were among the mighty men who helped him in war.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:2 @They were equipped with bows, using both the right hand and the left to sling stones and to shoot arrows from the bow; they were Saul's kinsmen from Benjamin.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:8 @From the Gadites there came over to David in the stronghold in the wilderness, mighty men of valor, men trained for war, who could handle shield and spear, and whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were as swift as the gazelles on the mountains.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:16 @Then some of the sons of Benjamin and Judah came to the stronghold to David.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:17 @David went out to meet them, and said to them, "If you come peacefully to me to help me, my heart shall be united with you; but if to betray me to my adversaries, since there is no wrong in my hands, may the God of our fathers look on it and decide."

nasb@1Chronicles:11:18 @Then the Spirit came upon Amasai, who was the chief of the thirty, and he said, "We are yours, O David, And with you, O son of Jesse! Peace, peace to you, And peace to him who helps you; Indeed, your God helps you!" Then David received them and made them captains of the band.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:19 @From Manasseh also some defected to David when he was about to go to battle with the Philistines against Saul. But they did not help them, for the lords of the Philistines after consultation sent him away, saying, "At the cost of our heads he may defect to his master Saul."

nasb@1Chronicles:11:21 @They helped David against the band of raiders, for they were all mighty men of valor, and were captains in the army.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:22 @For day by day men came to David to help him, until there was a great army like the army of God.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:23 @Now these are the numbers of the divisions equipped for war, who came to David at Hebron, to turn the kingdom of Saul to him, according to the word of the LORD.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:25 @Of the sons of Simeon, mighty men of valor for war, 7,100.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:29 @Of the sons of Benjamin, Saul's kinsmen, 3,000; for until now the greatest part of them had kept their allegiance to the house of Saul.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:30 @Of the sons of Ephraim 20,800, mighty men of valor, famous men in their fathers' households.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:31 @Of the half-tribe of Manasseh 18,000, who were designated by name to come and make David king.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:32 @Of the sons of Issachar, men who understood the times, with knowledge of what Israel should do, their chiefs were two hundred; and all their kinsmen were at their command.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:38 @All these, being men of war who could draw up in battle formation, came to Hebron with a perfect heart to make David king over all Israel; and all the rest also of Israel were of one mind to make David king.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:39 @They were there with David three days, eating and drinking, for their kinsmen had prepared for them.

nasb@1Chronicles:11:40 @Moreover those who were near to them, even as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, brought food on donkeys, camels, mules and on oxen, great quantities of flour cakes, fig cakes and bunches of raisins, wine, oil, oxen and sheep. There was joy indeed in Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:12:2 @David said to all the assembly of Israel, "If it seems good to you, and if it is from the LORD our God, let us send everywhere to our kinsmen who remain in all the land of Israel, also to the priests and Levites who are with them in their cities with pasture lands, that they may meet with us;

nasb@1Chronicles:12:6 @David and all Israel went up to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim, which belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, the LORD who is enthroned above the cherubim, where His name is called.

nasb@1Chronicles:12:9 @When they came to the threshing floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to hold the ark, because the oxen nearly upset it.

nasb@1Chronicles:12:11 @Then David became angry because of the LORD'S outburst against Uzza; and he called that place Perez-uzza to this day.

nasb@1Chronicles:12:12 @David was afraid of God that day, saying, "How can I bring the ark of God home to me?"

nasb@1Chronicles:13:1 @Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons and carpenters, to build a house for him.

nasb@1Chronicles:13:3 @Then David took more wives at Jerusalem, and David became the father of more sons and daughters.

nasb@1Chronicles:13:4 @These are the names of the children born to him in Jerusalem- Shammua, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon,

nasb@1Chronicles:13:9 @Now the Philistines had come and made a raid in the valley of Rephaim.

nasb@1Chronicles:13:11 @So they came up to Baal-perazim, and David defeated them there; and David said, "God has broken through my enemies by my hand, like the breakthrough of waters." Therefore they named that place Baal-perazim.

nasb@1Chronicles:13:14 @David inquired again of God, and God said to him, "You shall not go up after them; circle around behind them and come at them in front of the balsam trees.

nasb@1Chronicles:13:17 @Then the fame of David went out into all the lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him on all the nations.

nasb@1Chronicles:14:6 @of the sons of Merari, Asaiah the chief, and 220 of his relatives;

nasb@1Chronicles:14:16 @Then David spoke to the chiefs of the Levites to appoint their relatives the singers, with instruments of music, harps, lyres, loud-sounding cymbals, to raise sounds of joy.

nasb@1Chronicles:14:17 @So the Levites appointed Heman the son of Joel, and from his relatives, Asaph the son of Berechiah; and from the sons of Merari their relatives, Ethan the son of Kushaiah,

nasb@1Chronicles:14:29 @It happened when the ark of the covenant of the LORD came to the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and celebrating; and she despised him in her heart.

nasb@1Chronicles:15:2 @When David had finished offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.

nasb@1Chronicles:15:3 @He distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread and a portion of meat and a raisin cake.

nasb@1Chronicles:15:4 @He appointed some of the Levites as ministers before the ark of the LORD, even to celebrate and to thank and praise the LORD God of Israel-

nasb@1Chronicles:15:5 @Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, then Jeiel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed-edom and Jeiel, with musical instruments, harps, lyres; also Asaph played loud-sounding cymbals,

nasb@1Chronicles:15:8 @Oh give thanks to the LORD, call upon His name; Make known His deeds among the peoples.

nasb@1Chronicles:15:10 @Glory in His holy name; Let the heart of those who seek the LORD be glad.

nasb@1Chronicles:15:12 @Remember His wonderful deeds which He has done, His marvels and the judgments from His mouth,

nasb@1Chronicles:15:14 @He is the LORD our God; His judgments are in all the earth.

nasb@1Chronicles:15:15 @Remember His covenant forever, The word which He commanded to a thousand generations,

nasb@1Chronicles:15:17 @He also confirmed it to Jacob for a statute, To Israel as an everlasting covenant,

nasb@1Chronicles:15:29 @Ascribe to the LORD the glory due His name; Bring an offering, and come before Him; Worship the LORD in holy array.

nasb@1Chronicles:15:35 @Then say, "Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks to Your holy name, And glory in Your praise."

nasb@1Chronicles:15:36 @Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. Then all the people said, "Amen," and praised the LORD.

nasb@1Chronicles:15:41 @With them were Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because His lovingkindness is everlasting.

nasb@1Chronicles:15:42 @And with them were Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those who should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God, and the sons of Jeduthun for the gate.

nasb@1Chronicles:16:1 @And it came about, when David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, "Behold, I am dwelling in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under curtains."

nasb@1Chronicles:16:3 @It came about the same night that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

nasb@1Chronicles:16:4" @Go and tell David My servant, 'Thus says the LORD, " You shall not build a house for Me to dwell in;

nasb@1Chronicles:16:6" @In all places where I have walked with all Israel, have I spoken a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, 'Why have you not built for Me a house of cedar?'"'

nasb@1Chronicles:16:8" @I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a name like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.

nasb@1Chronicles:16:9" @I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place and not be moved again; and the wicked will not waste them anymore as formerly,

nasb@1Chronicles:16:12" @He shall build for Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.

nasb@1Chronicles:16:16 @Then David the king went in and sat before the LORD and said, " Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house that You have brought me this far?

nasb@1Chronicles:16:17" @This was a small thing in Your eyes, O God; but You have spoken of Your servant's house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the standard of a man of high degree, O LORD God.

nasb@1Chronicles:16:21" @And what one nation in the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make You a name by great and terrible things, in driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed out of Egypt?

nasb@1Chronicles:16:22" @ For Your people Israel You made Your own people forever, and You, O LORD, became their God.

nasb@1Chronicles:16:24" @Let Your name be established and magnified forever, saying, 'The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel; and the house of David Your servant is established before You.'

nasb@1Chronicles:17:1 @Now after this it came about that David defeated the Philistines and subdued them and took Gath and its towns from the hand of the Philistines.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:2 @He defeated Moab, and the Moabites became servants to David, bringing tribute.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:4 @David took from him 1,000 chariots and 7,000 horsemen and 20,000 foot soldiers, and David hamstrung all the chariot horses, but reserved enough of them for 100 chariots.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:5 @When the Arameans of Damascus came to help Hadadezer king of Zobah, David killed 22,000 men of the Arameans.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:6 @Then David put garrisons among the Arameans of Damascus; and the Arameans became servants to David, bringing tribute. And the LORD helped David wherever he went.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:13 @Then he put garrisons in Edom, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the LORD helped David wherever he went.

nasb@1Chronicles:17:16 @and Zadok the son of Ahitub and Abimelech the son of Abiathar were priests, and Shavsha was secretary;

nasb@1Chronicles:18:1 @Now it came about after this, that Nahash the king of the sons of Ammon died, and his son became king in his place.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:2 @Then David said, "I will show kindness to Hanun the son of Nahash, because his father showed kindness to me." So David sent messengers to console him concerning his father. And David's servants came into the land of the sons of Ammon to Hanun to console him.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:3 @But the princes of the sons of Ammon said to Hanun, "Do you think that David is honoring your father, in that he has sent comforters to you? Have not his servants come to you to search and to overthrow and to spy out the land?"

nasb@1Chronicles:18:4 @So Hanun took David's servants and shaved them and cut off their garments in the middle as far as their hips, and sent them away.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:5 @Then certain persons went and told David about the men. And he sent to meet them, for the men were greatly humiliated. And the king said, "Stay at Jericho until your beards grow, and then return."

nasb@1Chronicles:18:6 @When the sons of Ammon saw that they had made themselves odious to David, Hanun and the sons of Ammon sent 1,000 talents of silver to hire for themselves chariots and horsemen from Mesopotamia, from Aram-maacah and from Zobah.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:7 @So they hired for themselves 32,000 chariots, and the king of Maacah and his people, who came and camped before Medeba. And the sons of Ammon gathered together from their cities and came to battle.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:8 @When David heard of it, he sent Joab and all the army, the mighty men.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:9 @The sons of Ammon came out and drew up in battle array at the entrance of the city, and the kings who had come were by themselves in the field.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:10 @Now when Joab saw that the battle was set against him in front and in the rear, he selected from all the choice men of Israel and they arrayed themselves against the Arameans.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:12 @He said, "If the Arameans are too strong for me, then you shall help me; but if the sons of Ammon are too strong for you, then I will help you.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:14 @So Joab and the people who were with him drew near to the battle against the Arameans, and they fled before him.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:15 @When the sons of Ammon saw that the Arameans fled, they also fled before Abshai his brother and entered the city. Then Joab came to Jerusalem.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:16 @When the Arameans saw that they had been defeated by Israel, they sent messengers and brought out the Arameans who were beyond the River, with Shophach the commander of the army of Hadadezer leading them.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:17 @When it was told David, he gathered all Israel together and crossed the Jordan, and came upon them and drew up in formation against them. And when David drew up in battle array against the Arameans, they fought against him.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:18 @The Arameans fled before Israel, and David killed of the Arameans 7,000 charioteers and 40,000 foot soldiers, and put to death Shophach the commander of the army.

nasb@1Chronicles:18:19 @So when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were defeated by Israel, they made peace with David and served him. Thus the Arameans were not willing to help the sons of Ammon anymore.

nasb@1Chronicles:19:1 @Then it happened in the spring, at the time when kings go out to battle, that Joab led out the army and ravaged the land of the sons of Ammon, and came and besieged Rabbah. But David stayed at Jerusalem. And Joab struck Rabbah and overthrew it.

nasb@1Chronicles:19:3 @He brought out the people who were in it, and cut them with saws and with sharp instruments and with axes. And thus David did to all the cities of the sons of Ammon. Then David and all the people returned to Jerusalem.

nasb@1Chronicles:19:4 @Now it came about after this, that war broke out at Gezer with the Philistines; then Sibbecai the Hushathite killed Sippai, one of the descendants of the giants, and they were subdued.

nasb@1Chronicles:19:7 @When he taunted Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea, David's brother, killed him.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:2 @So David said to Joab and to the princes of the people, " Go, number Israel from Beersheba even to Dan, and bring me word that I may know their number."

nasb@1Chronicles:20:3 @Joab said, " May the LORD add to His people a hundred times as many as they are! But, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's servants? Why does my lord seek this thing? Why should he be a cause of guilt to Israel?"

nasb@1Chronicles:20:4 @Nevertheless, the king's word prevailed against Joab. Therefore, Joab departed and went throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:5 @Joab gave the number of the census of all the people to David. And all Israel were 1,100,000 men who drew the sword; and Judah was 470,000 men who drew the sword.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:11 @So Gad came to David and said to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Take for yourself

nasb@1Chronicles:20:12 @either three years of famine, or three months to be swept away before your foes, while the sword of your enemies overtakes you, or else three days of the sword of the LORD, even pestilence in the land, and the angel of the LORD destroying throughout all the territory of Israel.' Now, therefore, consider what answer I shall return to Him who sent me."

nasb@1Chronicles:20:13 @David said to Gad, "I am in great distress; please let me fall into the hand of the LORD, for His mercies are very great. But do not let me fall into the hand of man."

nasb@1Chronicles:20:14 @So the LORD sent a pestilence on Israel; 70,000 men of Israel fell.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:17 @David said to God, "Is it not I who commanded to count the people? Indeed, I am the one who has sinned and done very wickedly, but these sheep, what have they done? O LORD my God, please let Your hand be against me and my father's household, but not against Your people that they should be plagued."

nasb@1Chronicles:20:19 @So David went up at the word of Gad, which he spoke in the name of the LORD.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:21 @As David came to Ornan, Ornan looked and saw David, and went out from the threshing floor and prostrated himself before David with his face to the ground.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:22 @Then David said to Ornan, "Give me the site of this threshing floor, that I may build on it an altar to the LORD; for the full price you shall give it to me, that the plague may be restrained from the people."

nasb@1Chronicles:20:24 @But King David said to Ornan, "No, but I will surely buy it for the full price; for I will not take what is yours for the LORD, or offer a burnt offering which costs me nothing."

nasb@1Chronicles:20:28 @At that time, when David saw that the LORD had answered him on the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he offered sacrifice there.

nasb@1Chronicles:20:29 @For the tabernacle of the LORD, which Moses had made in the wilderness, and the altar of burnt offering were in the high place at Gibeon at that time.

nasb@1Chronicles:21:7 @David said to Solomon, " My son, I had intended to build a house to the name of the LORD my God.

nasb@1Chronicles:21:8" @But the word of the LORD came to me, saying, ' You have shed much blood and have waged great wars; you shall not build a house to My name, because you have shed so much blood on the earth before Me.

nasb@1Chronicles:21:9 @'Behold, a son will be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days.

nasb@1Chronicles:21:10 @' He shall build a house for My name, and he shall be My son and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.'

nasb@1Chronicles:21:15" @Moreover, there are many workmen with you, stonecutters and masons of stone and carpenters, and all men who are skillful in every kind of work.

nasb@1Chronicles:21:19" @Now set your heart and your soul to seek the LORD your God; arise, therefore, and build the sanctuary of the LORD God, so that you may bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD and the holy vessels of God into the house that is to be built for the name of the LORD."

nasb@1Chronicles:22:3 @The Levites were numbered from thirty years old and upward, and their number by census of men was 38,000.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:5 @and 4,000 were gatekeepers, and 4,000 were praising the LORD with the instruments which David made for giving praise.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:6 @David divided them into divisions according to the sons of Levi- Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:7 @Of the Gershonites were Ladan and Shimei.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:9 @The sons of Shimei were Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran, three. These were the heads of the fathers' households of Ladan.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:10 @The sons of Shimei were Jahath, Zina, Jeush and Beriah. These four were the sons of Shimei.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:11 @Jahath was the first and Zizah the second; but Jeush and Beriah did not have many sons, so they became a father's household, one class.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:13 @The sons of Amram were Aaron and Moses. And Aaron was set apart to sanctify him as most holy, he and his sons forever, to burn incense before the LORD, to minister to Him and to bless in His name forever.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:14 @But as for Moses the man of God, his sons were named among the tribe of Levi.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:19 @The sons of Hebron were Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third and Jekameam the fourth.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:21 @The sons of Merari were Mahli and Mushi. The sons of Mahli were Eleazar and Kish.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:24 @These were the sons of Levi according to their fathers' households, even the heads of the fathers' households of those of them who were counted, in the number of names by their census, doing the work for the service of the house of the LORD, from twenty years old and upward.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:29 @and with the showbread, and the fine flour for a grain offering, and unleavened wafers, or what is baked in the pan or what is well-mixed, and all measures of volume and size.

nasb@1Chronicles:22:32 @Thus they are to keep charge of the tent of meeting, and charge of the holy place, and charge of the sons of Aaron their relatives, for the service of the house of the LORD.

nasb@1Chronicles:23:3 @David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, divided them according to their offices for their ministry.

nasb@1Chronicles:23:4 @Since more chief men were found from the descendants of Eleazar than the descendants of Ithamar, they divided them thus- there were sixteen heads of fathers' households of the descendants of Eleazar and eight of the descendants of Ithamar, according to their fathers' households.

nasb@1Chronicles:23:6 @Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel the scribe, from the Levites, recorded them in the presence of the king, the princes, Zadok the priest, Ahimelech the son of Abiathar, and the heads of the fathers' households of the priests and of the Levites; one father's household taken for Eleazar and one taken for Ithamar.

nasb@1Chronicles:23:7 @Now the first lot came out for Jehoiarib, the second for Jedaiah,

nasb@1Chronicles:23:14 @the fifteenth for Bilgah, the sixteenth for Immer,

nasb@1Chronicles:23:19 @These were their offices for their ministry when they came in to the house of the LORD according to the ordinance given to them through Aaron their father, just as the LORD God of Israel had commanded him.

nasb@1Chronicles:23:23 @The sons of Hebron- Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.

nasb@1Chronicles:23:26 @The sons of Merari, Mahli and Mushi; the sons of Jaaziah, Beno.

nasb@1Chronicles:23:27 @The sons of Merari- by Jaaziah were Beno, Shoham, Zaccur and Ibri.

nasb@1Chronicles:23:29 @By Kish- the sons of Kish, Jerahmeel.

nasb@1Chronicles:23:31 @These also cast lots just as their relatives the sons of Aaron in the presence of David the king, Zadok, Ahimelech, and the heads of the fathers' households of the priests and of the Levites--the head of fathers' households as well as those of his younger brother.

nasb@1Chronicles:24:1 @Moreover, David and the commanders of the army set apart for the service some of the sons of Asaph and of Heman and of Jeduthun, who were to prophesy with lyres, harps and cymbals; and the number of those who performed their service was-

nasb@1Chronicles:24:3 @Of Jeduthun, the sons of Jeduthun- Gedaliah, Zeri, Jeshaiah, Shimei, Hashabiah and Mattithiah, six, under the direction of their father Jeduthun with the harp, who prophesied in giving thanks and praising the LORD.

nasb@1Chronicles:24:9 @Now the first lot came out for Asaph to Joseph, the second for Gedaliah, he with his relatives and sons were twelve;

nasb@1Chronicles:24:17 @the tenth to Shimei, his sons and his relatives, twelve;

nasb@1Chronicles:25:1 @For the divisions of the gatekeepers there were of the Korahites, Meshelemiah the son of Kore, of the sons of Asaph.

nasb@1Chronicles:25:2 @Meshelemiah had sons- Zechariah the firstborn, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,

nasb@1Chronicles:25:6 @Also to his son Shemaiah sons were born who ruled over the house of their father, for they were mighty men of valor.

nasb@1Chronicles:25:7 @The sons of Shemaiah were Othni, Rephael, Obed and Elzabad, whose brothers, Elihu and Semachiah, were valiant men.

nasb@1Chronicles:25:8 @All these were of the sons of Obed-edom; they and their sons and their relatives were able men with strength for the service, 62 from Obed-edom.

nasb@1Chronicles:25:9 @Meshelemiah had sons and relatives, 18 valiant men.

nasb@1Chronicles:25:10 @Also Hosah, one of the sons of Merari had sons- Shimri the first (although he was not the firstborn, his father made him first),

nasb@1Chronicles:25:12 @To these divisions of the gatekeepers, the chief men, were given duties like their relatives to minister in the house of the LORD.

nasb@1Chronicles:25:14 @The lot to the east fell to Shelemiah. Then they cast lots for his son Zechariah, a counselor with insight, and his lot came out to the north.

nasb@1Chronicles:25:19 @These were the divisions of the gatekeepers of the sons of Korah and of the sons of Merari.

nasb@1Chronicles:25:21 @The sons of Ladan, the sons of the Gershonites belonging to Ladan, namely, the Jehielites, were the heads of the fathers' households, belonging to Ladan the Gershonite.

nasb@1Chronicles:25:30 @As for the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his relatives, 1,700 capable men, had charge of the affairs of Israel west of the Jordan, for all the work of the LORD and the service of the king.

nasb@1Chronicles:25:31 @As for the Hebronites, Jerijah the chief (these Hebronites were investigated according to their genealogies and fathers' households, in the fortieth year of David's reign, and men of outstanding capability were found among them at Jazer of Gilead)

nasb@1Chronicles:25:32 @and his relatives, capable men, were 2,700 in number, heads of fathers' households. And King David made them overseers of the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of the Manassites concerning all the affairs of God and of the king.

nasb@1Chronicles:26:1 @Now this is the enumeration of the sons of Israel, the heads of fathers' households, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and their officers who served the king in all the affairs of the divisions which came in and went out month by month throughout all the months of the year, each division numbering 24,000-

nasb@1Chronicles:26:16 @Now in charge of the tribes of Israel- chief officer for the Reubenites was Eliezer the son of Zichri; for the Simeonites, Shephatiah the son of Maacah;

nasb@1Chronicles:26:24 @Joab the son of Zeruiah had begun to count them, but did not finish; and because of this, wrath came upon Israel, and the number was not included in the account of the chronicles of King David.

nasb@1Chronicles:26:27 @Shimei the Ramathite had charge of the vineyards; and Zabdi the Shiphmite had charge of the produce of the vineyards stored in the wine cellars.

nasb@1Chronicles:26:30 @Obil the Ishmaelite had charge of the camels; and Jehdeiah the Meronothite had charge of the donkeys.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:1 @Now David assembled at Jerusalem all the officials of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the commanders of the divisions that served the king, and the commanders of thousands, and the commanders of hundreds, and the overseers of all the property and livestock belonging to the king and his sons, with the officials and the mighty men, even all the valiant men.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:2 @Then King David rose to his feet and said, "Listen to me, my brethren and my people; I had intended to build a permanent home for the ark of the covenant of the LORD and for the footstool of our God. So I had made preparations to build it.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:3" @But God said to me, ' You shall not build a house for My name because you are a man of war and have shed blood.'

nasb@1Chronicles:27:4" @Yet, the LORD, the God of Israel, chose me from all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For He has chosen Judah to be a leader; and in the house of Judah, my father's house, and among the sons of my father He took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:5" @ Of all my sons (for the LORD has given me many sons), He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:6" @He said to me, 'Your son Solomon is the one who shall build My house and My courts; for I have chosen him to be a son to Me, and I will be a father to him.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:7 @'I will establish his kingdom forever if he resolutely performs My commandments and My ordinances, as is done now.'

nasb@1Chronicles:27:8" @So now, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the LORD, and in the hearing of our God, observe and seek after all the commandments of the LORD your God so that you may possess the good land and bequeath it to your sons after you forever.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:11 @Then David gave to his son Solomon the plan of the porch of the temple, its buildings, its storehouses, its upper rooms, its inner rooms and the room for the mercy seat;

nasb@1Chronicles:27:19" @All this," said David, "the LORD made me understand in writing by His hand upon me, all the details of this pattern."

nasb@1Chronicles:27:4 @namely, 3,000 talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and 7,000 talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the buildings;

nasb@1Chronicles:27:5 @of gold for the things of gold and of silver for the things of silver, that is, for all the work done by the craftsmen. Who then is willing to consecrate himself this day to the LORD?"

nasb@1Chronicles:27:12" @ Both riches and honor come from You, and You rule over all, and in Your hand is power and might; and it lies in Your hand to make great and to strengthen everyone.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:13" @Now therefore, our God, we thank You, and praise Your glorious name.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:14" @But who am I and who are my people that we should be able to offer as generously as this? For all things come from You, and from Your hand we have given You.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:16" @O LORD our God, all this abundance that we have provided to build You a house for Your holy name, it is from Your hand, and all is Yours.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:19 @and give to my son Solomon a perfect heart to keep Your commandments, Your testimonies and Your statutes, and to do them all, and to build the temple, for which I have made provision."

nasb@1Chronicles:27:24 @All the officials, the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David pledged allegiance to King Solomon.

nasb@1Chronicles:27:30 @with all his reign, his power, and the circumstances which came on him, on Israel, and on all the kingdoms of the lands.

nasb@2Chronicles:1:3 @Then Solomon and all the assembly with him went to the high place which was at Gibeon, for God's tent of meeting was there, which Moses the servant of the LORD had made in the wilderness.

nasb@2Chronicles:1:6 @Solomon went up there before the LORD to the bronze altar which was at the tent of meeting, and offered a thousand burnt offerings on it.

nasb@2Chronicles:1:8 @Solomon said to God, "You have dealt with my father David with great lovingkindness, and have made me king in his place.

nasb@2Chronicles:1:9" @Now, O LORD God, Your promise to my father David is fulfilled, for You have made me king over a people as numerous as the dust of the earth.

nasb@2Chronicles:1:10" @ Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people, for who can rule this great people of Yours?"

nasb@2Chronicles:1:12 @wisdom and knowledge have been granted to you. And I will give you riches and wealth and honor, such as none of the kings who were before you has possessed nor those who will come after you."

nasb@2Chronicles:1:13 @So Solomon went from the high place which was at Gibeon, from the tent of meeting, to Jerusalem, and he reigned over Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:1:14 @Solomon amassed chariots and horsemen. He had 1,400 chariots and 12,000 horsemen, and he stationed them in the chariot cities and with the king at Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:1:17 @They imported chariots from Egypt for 600 shekels of silver apiece and horses for 150 apiece, and by the same means they exported them to all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:1 @Now Solomon decided to build a house for the name of the LORD and a royal palace for himself.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:2 @So Solomon assigned 70,000 men to carry loads and 80,000 men to quarry stone in the mountains and 3,600 to supervise them.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:3 @Then Solomon sent word to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, " As you dealt with David my father and sent him cedars to build him a house to dwell in, so do for me.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:4" @Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, dedicating it to Him, to burn fragrant incense before Him and to set out the showbread continually, and to offer burnt offerings morning and evening, on sabbaths and on new moons and on the appointed feasts of the LORD our God, this being required forever in Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:7" @Now send me a skilled man to work in gold, silver, brass and iron, and in purple, crimson and violet fabrics, and who knows how to make engravings, to work with the skilled men whom I have in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:8" @ Send me also cedar, cypress and algum timber from Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut timber of Lebanon; and indeed my servants will work with your servants,

nasb@2Chronicles:2:9 @to prepare timber in abundance for me, for the house which I am about to build will be great and wonderful.

nasb@2Chronicles:2:10" @Now behold, I will give to your servants, the woodsmen who cut the timber, 20,000 kors of crushed wheat and 20,000 kors of barley, and 20,000 baths of wine and 20,000 baths of oil."

nasb@2Chronicles:2:14 @the son of a Danite woman and a Tyrian father, who knows how to work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone and wood, and in purple, violet, linen and crimson fabrics, and who knows how to make all kinds of engravings and to execute any design which may be assigned to him, to work with your skilled men and with those of my lord David your father.

nasb@2Chronicles:3:5 @He overlaid the main room with cypress wood and overlaid it with fine gold, and ornamented it with palm trees and chains.

nasb@2Chronicles:3:16 @He made chains in the inner sanctuary and placed them on the tops of the pillars; and he made one hundred pomegranates and placed them on the chains.

nasb@2Chronicles:3:17 @He erected the pillars in front of the temple, one on the right and the other on the left, and named the one on the right Jachin and the one on the left Boaz.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:2 @Also he made the cast metal sea, ten cubits from brim to brim, circular in form, and its height was five cubits and its circumference thirty cubits.

nasb@2Chronicles:4:11 @Huram also made the pails, the shovels and the bowls. So Huram finished doing the work which he performed for King Solomon in the house of God-

nasb@2Chronicles:4:13 @and the four hundred pomegranates for the two networks, two rows of pomegranates for each network to cover the two bowls of the capitals which were on the pillars.

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

nasb@2Chronicles:5:3 @All the men of Israel assembled themselves to the king at the feast, that is in the seventh month.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:4 @Then all the elders of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:5 @They brought up the ark and the tent of meeting and all the holy utensils which were in the tent; the Levitical priests brought them up.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:10 @There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets which Moses put there at Horeb, where the LORD made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of Egypt.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:11 @When the priests came forth from the holy place (for all the priests who were present had sanctified themselves, without regard to divisions),

nasb@2Chronicles:5:12 @and all the Levitical singers, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and kinsmen, clothed in fine linen, with cymbals, harps and lyres, standing east of the altar, and with them one hundred and twenty priests blowing trumpets

nasb@2Chronicles:5:13 @in unison when the trumpeters and the singers were to make themselves heard with one voice to praise and to glorify the LORD, and when they lifted up their voice accompanied by trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and when they praised the LORD saying, " He indeed is good for His lovingkindness is everlasting," then the house, the house of the LORD, was filled with a cloud,

nasb@2Chronicles:5:5 @'Since the day that I brought My people from the land of Egypt, I did not choose a city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house that My name might be there, nor did I choose any man for a leader over My people Israel;

nasb@2Chronicles:5:6 @but I have chosen Jerusalem that My name might be there, and I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.'

nasb@2Chronicles:5:7" @ Now it was in the heart of my father David to build a house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:8" @But the LORD said to my father David, 'Because it was in your heart to build a house for My name, you did well that it was in your heart.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:9 @'Nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will be born to you, he shall build the house for My name.'

nasb@2Chronicles:5:10" @Now the LORD has fulfilled His word which He spoke; for I have risen in the place of my father David and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:16" @Now therefore, O LORD, the God of Israel, keep with Your servant David, my father, that which You have promised him, saying, ' You shall not lack a man to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your sons take heed to their way, to walk in My law as you have walked before Me.'

nasb@2Chronicles:5:17" @Now therefore, O LORD, the God of Israel, let Your word be confirmed which You have spoken to Your servant David.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:20 @that Your eye may be open toward this house day and night, toward the place of which You have said that You would put Your name there, to listen to the prayer which Your servant shall pray toward this place.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:33 @then hear from heaven, from Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You, in order that all the peoples of the earth may know Your name, and fear You as do Your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by Your name.

nasb@2Chronicles:5:34" @When Your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way You shall send them, and they pray to You toward this city which You have chosen and the house which I have built for Your name,

nasb@2Chronicles:5:38 @if they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have been taken captive, and pray toward their land which You have given to their fathers and the city which You have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for Your name,

nasb@2Chronicles:5:42" @O LORD God, do not turn away the face of Your anointed; remember Your lovingkindness to Your servant David."

nasb@2Chronicles:6:1 @Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the house.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:3 @All the sons of Israel, seeing the fire come down and the glory of the LORD upon the house, bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave praise to the LORD, saying, " Truly He is good, truly His lovingkindness is everlasting."

nasb@2Chronicles:6:6 @The priests stood at their posts, and the Levites also, with the instruments of music to the LORD, which King David had made for giving praise to the LORD--"for His lovingkindness is everlasting"--whenever he gave praise by their means, while the priests on the other side blew trumpets; and all Israel was standing.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:8 @So Solomon observed the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly who came from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:14 @and My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin and will heal their land.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:16" @For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that My name may be there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.

nasb@2Chronicles:6:17" @As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, even to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep My statutes and My ordinances,

nasb@2Chronicles:6:20 @then I will uproot you from My land which I have given you, and this house which I have consecrated for My name I will cast out of My sight and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:1 @Now it came about at the end of the twenty years in which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own house

nasb@2Chronicles:7:6 @and Baalath and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots and cities for his horsemen, and all that it pleased Solomon to build in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land under his rule.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:8 @namely, from their descendants who were left after them in the land whom the sons of Israel had not destroyed, them Solomon raised as forced laborers to this day.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:9 @But Solomon did not make slaves for his work from the sons of Israel; they were men of war, his chief captains and commanders of his chariots and his horsemen.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:13 @and did so according to the daily rule, offering them up according to the commandment of Moses, for the sabbaths, the new moons and the three annual feasts--the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks and the Feast of Booths.

nasb@2Chronicles:7:15 @And they did not depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites in any manner or concerning the storehouses.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:1 @Now when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, she came to Jerusalem to test Solomon with difficult questions. She had a very large retinue, with camels carrying spices and a large amount of gold and precious stones; and when she came to Solomon, she spoke with him about all that was on her heart.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:6" @Nevertheless I did not believe their reports until I came and my eyes had seen it. And behold, the half of the greatness of your wisdom was not told me. You surpass the report that I heard.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:7" @How blessed are your men, how blessed are these your servants who stand before you continually and hear your wisdom.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:13 @Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was 666 talents of gold,

nasb@2Chronicles:8:14 @besides that which the traders and merchants brought; and all the kings of Arabia and the governors of the country brought gold and silver to Solomon.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:21 @For the king had ships which went to Tarshish with the servants of Huram; once every three years the ships of Tarshish came bringing gold and silver, ivory and apes and peacocks.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:22 @So King Solomon became greater than all the kings of the earth in riches and wisdom.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:24 @They brought every man his gift, articles of silver and gold, garments, weapons, spices, horses and mules, so much year by year.

nasb@2Chronicles:8:25 @Now Solomon had 4,000 stalls for horses and chariots and 12,000 horsemen, and he stationed them in the chariot cities and with the king in Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:9:1 @Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.

nasb@2Chronicles:9:3 @So they sent and summoned him. When Jeroboam and all Israel came, they spoke to Rehoboam, saying,

nasb@2Chronicles:9:5 @He said to them, "Return to me again in three days." So the people departed.

nasb@2Chronicles:9:6 @Then King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon while he was still alive, saying, "How do you counsel me to answer this people?"

nasb@2Chronicles:9:8 @But he forsook the counsel of the elders which they had given him, and consulted with the young men who grew up with him and served him.

nasb@2Chronicles:9:9 @So he said to them, "What counsel do you give that we may answer this people, who have spoken to me, saying, 'Lighten the yoke which your father put on us'?"

nasb@2Chronicles:9:10 @The young men who grew up with him spoke to him, saying, "Thus you shall say to the people who spoke to you, saying, 'Your father made our yoke heavy, but you make it lighter for us.' Thus you shall say to them, 'My little finger is thicker than my father's loins!

nasb@2Chronicles:9:12 @So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day as the king had directed, saying, "Return to me on the third day."

nasb@2Chronicles:9:14 @He spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, "My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it; my father disciplined you with whips, but I will discipline you with scorpions."

nasb@2Chronicles:10:1 @Now when Rehoboam had come to Jerusalem, he assembled the house of Judah and Benjamin, 180,000 chosen men who were warriors, to fight against Israel to restore the kingdom to Rehoboam.

nasb@2Chronicles:10:2 @But the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,

nasb@2Chronicles:10:4 @'Thus says the LORD, "You shall not go up or fight against your relatives; return every man to his house, for this thing is from Me."'" So they listened to the words of the LORD and returned from going against Jeroboam.

nasb@2Chronicles:10:14 @For the Levites left their pasture lands and their property and came to Judah and Jerusalem, for Jeroboam and his sons had excluded them from serving as priests to the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:10:23 @He acted wisely and distributed some of his sons through all the territories of Judah and Benjamin to all the fortified cities, and he gave them food in abundance. And he sought many wives for them.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:2 @And it came about in King Rehoboam's fifth year, because they had been unfaithful to the LORD, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem

nasb@2Chronicles:11:3 @with 1,200 chariots and 60,000 horsemen. And the people who came with him from Egypt were without number- the Lubim, the Sukkiim and the Ethiopians.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:4 @He captured the fortified cities of Judah and came as far as Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:5 @Then Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the princes of Judah who had gathered at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and he said to them, "Thus says the LORD, ' You have forsaken Me, so I also have forsaken you to Shishak.'"

nasb@2Chronicles:11:7 @When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, " They have humbled themselves so I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some measure of deliverance, and My wrath shall not be poured out on Jerusalem by means of Shishak.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:8" @But they will become his slaves so that they may learn the difference between My service and the service of the kingdoms of the countries."

nasb@2Chronicles:11:9 @So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took the treasures of the house of the LORD and the treasures of the king's palace. He took everything; he even took the golden shields which Solomon had made.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:11 @As often as the king entered the house of the LORD, the guards came and carried them and then brought them back into the guards' room.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:13 @So King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned. Now Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel, to put His name there. And his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:15 @Now the acts of Rehoboam, from first to last, are they not written in the records of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, according to genealogical enrollment? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.

nasb@2Chronicles:11:16 @And Rehoboam slept with his fathers and was buried in the city of David; and his son Abijah became king in his place.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:1 @In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah became king over Judah.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:2 @He reigned three years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Micaiah the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. Now there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:3 @Abijah began the battle with an army of valiant warriors, 400,000 chosen men, while Jeroboam drew up in battle formation against him with 800,000 chosen men who were valiant warriors.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:4 @Then Abijah stood on Mount Zemaraim, which is in the hill country of Ephraim, and said, "Listen to me, Jeroboam and all Israel-

nasb@2Chronicles:12:7 @and worthless men gathered about him, scoundrels, who proved too strong for Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, when he was young and timid and could not hold his own against them.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:9" @ Have you not driven out the priests of the LORD, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, and made for yourselves priests like the peoples of other lands? Whoever comes to consecrate himself with a young bull and seven rams, even he may become a priest of what are no gods.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:13 @But Jeroboam had set an ambush to come from the rear, so that Israel was in front of Judah and the ambush was behind them.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:15 @Then the men of Judah raised a war cry, and when the men of Judah raised the war cry, then it was that God routed Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:17 @Abijah and his people defeated them with a great slaughter, so that 500,000 chosen men of Israel fell slain.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:18 @Thus the sons of Israel were subdued at that time, and the sons of Judah conquered because they trusted in the LORD, the God of their fathers.

nasb@2Chronicles:12:21 @But Abijah became powerful; and took fourteen wives to himself, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:1 @So Abijah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and his son Asa became king in his place. The land was undisturbed for ten years during his days.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:4 @and commanded Judah to seek the LORD God of their fathers and to observe the law and the commandment.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:9 @Now Zerah the Ethiopian came out against them with an army of a million men and 300 chariots, and he came to Mareshah.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:10 @So Asa went out to meet him, and they drew up in battle formation in the valley of Zephathah at Mareshah.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:11 @Then Asa called to the LORD his God and said, "LORD, there is no one besides You to help in the battle between the powerful and those who have no strength; so help us, O LORD our God, for we trust in You, and in Your name have come against this multitude.

nasb@2Chronicles:13:15 @They also struck down those who owned livestock, and they carried away large numbers of sheep and camels. Then they returned to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:1 @Now the Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded,

nasb@2Chronicles:14:2 @and he went out to meet Asa and said to him, "Listen to me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin- the LORD is with you when you are with Him. And if you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will forsake you.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:5" @ In those times there was no peace to him who went out or to him who came in, for many disturbances afflicted all the inhabitants of the lands.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:9 @He gathered all Judah and Benjamin and those from Ephraim, Manasseh and Simeon who resided with them, for many defected to him from Israel when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.

nasb@2Chronicles:14:17 @But the high places were not removed from Israel; nevertheless Asa's heart was blameless all his days.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:1 @In the thirty-sixth year of Asa's reign Baasha king of Israel came up against Judah and fortified Ramah in order to prevent anyone from going out or coming in to Asa king of Judah.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:3" @Let there be a treaty between you and me, as between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent you silver and gold; go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel so that he will withdraw from me."

nasb@2Chronicles:15:7 @At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah and said to him, " Because you have relied on the king of Aram and have not relied on the LORD your God, therefore the army of the king of Aram has escaped out of your hand.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:8" @Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim an immense army with very many chariots and horsemen? Yet because you relied on the LORD, He delivered them into your hand.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:10 @Then Asa was angry with the seer and put him in prison, for he was enraged at him for this. And Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:12 @In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa became diseased in his feet. His disease was severe, yet even in his disease he did not seek the LORD, but the physicians.

nasb@2Chronicles:15:14 @They buried him in his own tomb which he had cut out for himself in the city of David, and they laid him in the resting place which he had filled with spices of various kinds blended by the perfumers' art; and they made a very great fire for him.

nasb@2Chronicles:17:34 @The battle raged that day, and the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot in front of the Arameans until the evening; and at sunset he died.

nasb@2Chronicles:18:2 @Jehu the son of Hanani the seer went out to meet him and said to King Jehoshaphat, " Should you help the wicked and love those who hate the LORD and so bring wrath on yourself from the LORD?

nasb@2Chronicles:27:8 @The sons of Israel carried away captive of their brethren 200,000 women, sons and daughters; and they took also a great deal of spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:9 @But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out to meet the army which came to Samaria and said to them, "Behold, because the LORD, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, He has delivered them into your hand, and you have slain them in a rage which has even reached heaven.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:11" @Now therefore, listen to me and return the captives whom you captured from your brothers, for the burning anger of the LORD is against you."

nasb@2Chronicles:27:12 @Then some of the heads of the sons of Ephraim--Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai--arose against those who were coming from the battle,

nasb@2Chronicles:27:14 @So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the officers and all the assembly.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:15 @Then the men who were designated by name arose, took the captives, and they clothed all their naked ones from the spoil; and they gave them clothes and sandals, fed them and gave them drink, anointed them with oil, led all their feeble ones on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers; then they returned to Samaria.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:16 @At that time King Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria for help.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:17 @For again the Edomites had come and attacked Judah and carried away captives.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:18 @The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland and of the Negev of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, and Soco with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and Gimzo with its villages, and they settled there.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:20 @So Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came against him and afflicted him instead of strengthening him.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:22 @Now in the time of his distress this same King Ahaz became yet more unfaithful to the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:27:23 @For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him, and said, " Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, I will sacrifice to them that they may help me." But they became the downfall of him and all Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:1 @Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:5 @Then he said to them, "Listen to me, O Levites. Consecrate yourselves now, and consecrate the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers, and carry the uncleanness out from the holy place.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:26 @The Levites stood with the musical instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:27 @Then Hezekiah gave the order to offer the burnt offering on the altar. When the burnt offering began, the song to the LORD also began with the trumpets, accompanied by the instruments of David, king of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:31 @Then Hezekiah said, " Now that you have consecrated yourselves to the LORD, come near and bring sacrifices and thank offerings to the house of the LORD." And the assembly brought sacrifices and thank offerings, and all those who were willing brought burnt offerings.

nasb@2Chronicles:28:36 @Then Hezekiah and all the people rejoiced over what God had prepared for the people, because the thing came about suddenly.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:1 @Now Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem to celebrate the Passover to the LORD God of Israel.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:3 @since they could not celebrate it at that time, because the priests had not consecrated themselves in sufficient numbers, nor had the people been gathered to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:5 @So they established a decree to circulate a proclamation throughout all Israel from Beersheba even to Dan, that they should come to celebrate the Passover to the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem. For they had not celebrated it in great numbers as it was prescribed.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:11 @Nevertheless some men of Asher, Manasseh and Zebulun humbled themselves and came to Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:15 @Then they slaughtered the Passover lambs on the fourteenth of the second month. And the priests and Levites were ashamed of themselves, and consecrated themselves and brought burnt offerings to the house of the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:21 @The sons of Israel present in Jerusalem celebrated the Feast of Unleavened Bread for seven days with great joy, and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day after day with loud instruments to the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:25 @All the assembly of Judah rejoiced, with the priests and the Levites and all the assembly that came from Israel, both the sojourners who came from the land of Israel and those living in Judah.

nasb@2Chronicles:29:27 @Then the Levitical priests arose and blessed the people; and their voice was heard and their prayer came to His holy dwelling place, to heaven.

nasb@2Chronicles:30:3 @He also appointed the king's portion of his goods for the burnt offerings, namely, for the morning and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings for the sabbaths and for the new moons and for the fixed festivals, as it is written in the law of the LORD.

nasb@2Chronicles:31:25 @But Hezekiah gave no return for the benefit he received, because his heart was proud; therefore wrath came on him and on Judah and Jerusalem.

nasb@2Chronicles:31:26 @However, Hezekiah humbled the pride of his heart, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the wrath of the LORD did not come on them in the days of Hezekiah.

nasb@2Chronicles:31:27 @Now Hezekiah had immense riches and honor; and he made for himself treasuries for silver, gold, precious stones, spices, shields and all kinds of valuable articles,

nasb@2Chronicles:31:33 @So Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the upper section of the tombs of the sons of David; and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem honored him at his death. And his son Manasseh became king in his place.

nasb@Ezra:7:7" @ Since the days of our fathers to this day we have been in great guilt, and on account of our iniquities we, our kings and our priests have been given into the hand of the kings of the lands, to the sword, to captivity and to plunder and to open shame, as it is this day.

nasb@Ezra:7:8" @But now for a brief moment grace has been shown from the LORD our God, to leave us an escaped remnant and to give us a peg in His holy place, that our God may enlighten our eyes and grant us a little reviving in our bondage.

nasb@Ezra:7:10" @Now, our God, what shall we say after this? For we have forsaken Your commandments,

nasb@Ezra:7:13" @After all that has come upon us for our evil deeds and our great guilt, since You our God have requited us less than our iniquities deserve, and have given us an escaped remnant as this,

nasb@Ezra:7:14 @shall we again break Your commandments and intermarry with the peoples who commit these abominations? Would You not be angry with us to the point of destruction, until there is no remnant nor any who escape?

nasb@Ezra:8:1 @Now while Ezra was praying and making confession, weeping and prostrating himself before the house of God, a very large assembly, men, women and children, gathered to him from Israel; for the people wept bitterly.

nasb@Ezra:8:2 @Shecaniah the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, said to Ezra, " We have been unfaithful to our God and have married foreign women from the peoples of the land; yet now there is hope for Israel in spite of this.

nasb@Ezra:8:3" @So now let us make a covenant with our God to put away all the wives and their children, according to the counsel of my lord and of those who tremble at the commandment of our God; and let it be done according to the law.

nasb@Ezra:8:8 @and that whoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the leaders and the elders, all his possessions should be forfeited and he himself excluded from the assembly of the exiles.

nasb@Ezra:8:9 @So all the men of Judah and Benjamin assembled at Jerusalem within the three days. It was the ninth month on the twentieth of the month, and all the people sat in the open square before the house of God, trembling because of this matter and the heavy rain.

nasb@Ezra:8:14" @Let our leaders represent the whole assembly and let all those in our cities who have married foreign wives come at appointed times, together with the elders and judges of each city, until the fierce anger of our God on account of this matter is turned away from us."

nasb@Ezra:8:15 @Only Jonathan the son of Asahel and Jahzeiah the son of Tikvah opposed this, with Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supporting them.

nasb@Ezra:8:16 @But the exiles did so. And Ezra the priest selected men who were heads of fathers' households for each of their father's households, all of them by name. So they convened on the first day of the tenth month to investigate the matter.

nasb@Ezra:8:17 @They finished investigating all the men who had married foreign wives by the first day of the first month.

nasb@Ezra:8:20 @Of the sons of Immer there were Hanani and Zebadiah;

nasb@Ezra:8:23 @Of Levites there were Jozabad, Shimei, Kelaiah (that is, Kelita), Pethahiah, Judah and Eliezer.

nasb@Ezra:8:29 @and of the sons of Bani- Meshullam, Malluch and Adaiah, Jashub, Sheal and Jeremoth;

nasb@Ezra:8:31 @and of the sons of Harim- Eliezer, Isshijah, Malchijah, Shemaiah, Shimeon,

nasb@Ezra:8:33 @of the sons of Hashum- Mattenai, Mattattah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh and Shimei;

nasb@Ezra:8:36 @Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib,

nasb@Ezra:8:38 @Bani, Binnui, Shimei,

nasb@Ezra:8:44 @All these had married foreign wives, and some of them had wives by whom they had children.

nasb@Nehemiah:1:2 @that Hanani, one of my brothers, and some men from Judah came; and I asked them concerning the Jews who had escaped and had survived the captivity, and about Jerusalem.

nasb@Nehemiah:1:3 @They said to me, "The remnant there in the province who survived the captivity are in great distress and reproach, and the wall of Jerusalem is broken down and its gates are burned with fire."

nasb@Nehemiah:1:5 @I said, "I beseech You, O LORD God of heaven, the great and awesome God, who preserves the covenant and lovingkindness for those who love Him and keep His commandments,

nasb@Nehemiah:1:7" @ We have acted very corruptly against You and have not kept the commandments, nor the statutes, nor the ordinances which You commanded Your servant Moses.

nasb@Nehemiah:1:8" @Remember the word which You commanded Your servant Moses, saying, ' If you are unfaithful I will scatter you among the peoples;

nasb@Nehemiah:1:9 @but if you return to Me and keep My commandments and do them, though those of you who have been scattered were in the most remote part of the heavens, I will gather them from there and will bring them to the place where I have chosen to cause My name to dwell.'

nasb@Nehemiah:1:10" @ They are Your servants and Your people whom You redeemed by Your great power and by Your strong hand.

nasb@Nehemiah:1:11" @O Lord, I beseech You, may Your ear be attentive to the prayer of Your servant and the prayer of Your servants who delight to revere Your name, and make Your servant successful today and grant him compassion before this man." Now I was the cupbearer to the king.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:1 @And it came about in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of King Artaxerxes, that wine was before him, and I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had not been sad in his presence.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:2 @So the king said to me, "Why is your face sad though you are not sick? This is nothing but sadness of heart." Then I was very much afraid.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:3 @I said to the king, " Let the king live forever. Why should my face not be sad when the city, the place of my fathers' tombs, lies desolate and its gates have been consumed by fire?"

nasb@Nehemiah:2:4 @Then the king said to me, "What would you request?" So I prayed to the God of heaven.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:5 @I said to the king, "If it please the king, and if your servant has found favor before you, send me to Judah, to the city of my fathers' tombs, that I may rebuild it."

nasb@Nehemiah:2:6 @Then the king said to me, the queen sitting beside him, "How long will your journey be, and when will you return?" So it pleased the king to send me, and I gave him a definite time.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:7 @And I said to the king, "If it please the king, let letters be given me for the governors of the provinces beyond the River, that they may allow me to pass through until I come to Judah,

nasb@Nehemiah:2:8 @and a letter to Asaph the keeper of the king's forest, that he may give me timber to make beams for the gates of the fortress which is by the temple, for the wall of the city and for the house to which I will go." And the king granted them to me because the good hand of my God was on me.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:9 @Then I came to the governors of the provinces beyond the River and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent with me officers of the army and horsemen.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:10 @When Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the Ammonite official heard about it, it was very displeasing to them that someone had come to seek the welfare of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:11 @So I came to Jerusalem and was there three days.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:12 @And I arose in the night, I and a few men with me. I did not tell anyone what my God was putting into my mind to do for Jerusalem and there was no animal with me except the animal on which I was riding.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:13 @So I went out at night by the Valley Gate in the direction of the Dragon's Well and on to the Refuse Gate, inspecting the walls of Jerusalem which were broken down and its gates which were consumed by fire.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:17 @Then I said to them, "You see the bad situation we are in, that Jerusalem is desolate and its gates burned by fire. Come, let us rebuild the wall of Jerusalem so that we will no longer be a reproach."

nasb@Nehemiah:2:18 @I told them how the hand of my God had been favorable to me and also about the king's words which he had spoken to me. Then they said, "Let us arise and build." So they put their hands to the good work.

nasb@Nehemiah:2:20 @So I answered them and said to them, " The God of heaven will give us success; therefore we His servants will arise and build, but you have no portion, right or memorial in Jerusalem."

nasb@Nehemiah:3:2 @Next to him the men of Jericho built, and next to them Zaccur the son of Imri built.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:4 @Next to them Meremoth the son of Uriah the son of Hakkoz made repairs. And next to him Meshullam the son of Berechiah the son of Meshezabel made repairs. And next to him Zadok the son of Baana also made repairs.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:6 @Joiada the son of Paseah and Meshullam the son of Besodeiah repaired the Old Gate; they laid its beams and hung its doors with its bolts and its bars.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:7 @Next to them Melatiah the Gibeonite and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon and of Mizpah, also made repairs for the official seat of the governor of the province beyond the River.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:8 @Next to him Uzziel the son of Harhaiah of the goldsmiths made repairs. And next to him Hananiah, one of the perfumers, made repairs, and they restored Jerusalem as far as the Broad Wall.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:16 @After him Nehemiah the son of Azbuk, official of half the district of Beth-zur, made repairs as far as a point opposite the tombs of David, and as far as the artificial pool and the house of the mighty men.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:21 @After him Meremoth the son of Uriah the son of Hakkoz repaired another section, from the doorway of Eliashib's house even as far as the end of his house.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:22 @After him the priests, the men of the valley, carried out repairs.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:29 @After them Zadok the son of Immer carried out repairs in front of his house. And after him Shemaiah the son of Shecaniah, the keeper of the East Gate, carried out repairs.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:30 @After him Hananiah the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun the sixth son of Zalaph, repaired another section. After him Meshullam the son of Berechiah carried out repairs in front of his own quarters.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:31 @After him Malchijah, one of the goldsmiths, carried out repairs as far as the house of the temple servants and of the merchants, in front of the Inspection Gate and as far as the upper room of the corner.

nasb@Nehemiah:3:32 @Between the upper room of the corner and the Sheep Gate the goldsmiths and the merchants carried out repairs.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:1 @Now it came about that when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, he became furious and very angry and mocked the Jews.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:2 @He spoke in the presence of his brothers and the wealthy men of Samaria and said, "What are these feeble Jews doing? Are they going to restore it for themselves? Can they offer sacrifices? Can they finish in a day? Can they revive the stones from the dusty rubble even the burned ones?"

nasb@Nehemiah:4:8 @All of them conspired together to come and fight against Jerusalem and to cause a disturbance in it.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:11 @Our enemies said, "They will not know or see until we come among them, kill them and put a stop to the work."

nasb@Nehemiah:4:12 @When the Jews who lived near them came and told us ten times, "They will come up against us from every place where you may turn,"

nasb@Nehemiah:4:13 @then I stationed men in the lowest parts of the space behind the wall, the exposed places, and I stationed the people in families with their swords, spears and bows.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:14 @When I saw their fear, I rose and spoke to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people- " Do not be afraid of them; remember the Lord who is great and awesome, and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives and your houses."

nasb@Nehemiah:4:18 @As for the builders, each wore his sword girded at his side as he built, while the trumpeter stood near me.

nasb@Nehemiah:4:22 @At that time I also said to the people, "Let each man with his servant spend the night within Jerusalem so that they may be a guard for us by night and a laborer by day."

nasb@Nehemiah:4:23 @So neither I, my brothers, my servants, nor the men of the guard who followed me, none of us removed our clothes, each took his weapon even to the water.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:5" @Now our flesh is like the flesh of our brothers, our children like their children. Yet behold, we are forcing our sons and our daughters to be slaves, and some of our daughters are forced into bondage already, and we are helpless because our fields and vineyards belong to others."

nasb@Nehemiah:5:8 @I said to them, "We according to our ability have redeemed our Jewish brothers who were sold to the nations; now would you even sell your brothers that they may be sold to us?" Then they were silent and could not find a word to say.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:13 @I also shook out the front of my garment and said, "Thus may God shake out every man from his house and from his possessions who does not fulfill this promise; even thus may he be shaken out and emptied." And all the assembly said, "Amen!" And they praised the LORD. Then the people did according to this promise.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:14 @Moreover, from the day that I was appointed to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year to the thirty-second year of King Artaxerxes, for twelve years, neither I nor my kinsmen have eaten the governor's food allowance.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:15 @But the former governors who were before me laid burdens on the people and took from them bread and wine besides forty shekels of silver; even their servants domineered the people. But I did not do so because of the fear of God.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:17 @Moreover, there were at my table one hundred and fifty Jews and officials, besides those who came to us from the nations that were around us.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:18 @Now that which was prepared for each day was one ox and six choice sheep, also birds were prepared for me; and once in ten days all sorts of wine were furnished in abundance. Yet for all this I did not demand the governor's food allowance, because the servitude was heavy on this people.

nasb@Nehemiah:5:19 @Remember me, O my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:1 @Now when it was reported to Sanballat, Tobiah, to Geshem the Arab and to the rest of our enemies that I had rebuilt the wall, and that no breach remained in it, although at that time I had not set up the doors in the gates,

nasb@Nehemiah:6:2 @then Sanballat and Geshem sent a message to me, saying, "Come, let us meet together at Chephirim in the plain of Ono." But they were planning to harm me.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:3 @So I sent messengers to them, saying, "I am doing a great work and I cannot come down. Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?"

nasb@Nehemiah:6:4 @They sent messages to me four times in this manner, and I answered them in the same way.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:5 @Then Sanballat sent his servant to me in the same manner a fifth time with an open letter in his hand.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:7" @You have also appointed prophets to proclaim in Jerusalem concerning you, 'A king is in Judah!' And now it will be reported to the king according to these reports. So come now, let us take counsel together."

nasb@Nehemiah:6:8 @Then I sent a message to him saying, "Such things as you are saying have not been done, but you are inventing them in your own mind."

nasb@Nehemiah:6:9 @For all of them were trying to frighten us, thinking, "They will become discouraged with the work and it will not be done." But now, O God, strengthen my hands.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:10 @When I entered the house of Shemaiah the son of Delaiah, son of Mehetabel, who was confined at home, he said, "Let us meet together in the house of God, within the temple, and let us close the doors of the temple, for they are coming to kill you, and they are coming to kill you at night."

nasb@Nehemiah:6:11 @But I said, " Should a man like me flee? And could one such as I go into the temple to save his life? I will not go in."

nasb@Nehemiah:6:12 @Then I perceived that surely God had not sent him, but he uttered his prophecy against me because Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:13 @He was hired for this reason, that I might become frightened and act accordingly and sin, so that they might have an evil report in order that they could reproach me.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:14 @Remember, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat according to these works of theirs, and also Noadiah the prophetess and the rest of the prophets who were trying to frighten me.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:17 @Also in those days many letters went from the nobles of Judah to Tobiah, and Tobiah's letters came to them.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:18 @For many in Judah were bound by oath to him because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah the son of Arah, and his son Jehohanan had married the daughter of Meshullam the son of Berechiah.

nasb@Nehemiah:6:19 @Moreover, they were speaking about his good deeds in my presence and reported my words to him. Then Tobiah sent letters to frighten me.

nasb@Nehemiah:7:5 @Then my God put it into my heart to assemble the nobles, the officials and the people to be enrolled by genealogies. Then I found the book of the genealogy of those who came up first in which I found the following record-

nasb@Nehemiah:7:6 @These are the people of the province who came up from the captivity of the exiles whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon had carried away, and who returned to Jerusalem and Judah, each to his city,

nasb@Nehemiah:7:7 @who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of men of the people of Israel-

nasb@Nehemiah:7:26 @the men of Bethlehem and Netophah, 188;

nasb@Nehemiah:7:52 @the sons of Besai, the sons of Meunim, the sons of Nephushesim,

nasb@Nehemiah:7:54 @the sons of Bazlith, the sons of Mehida, the sons of Harsha,

nasb@Nehemiah:7:61 @These were they who came up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon and Immer; but they could not show their fathers' houses or their descendants, whether they were of Israel-

nasb@Nehemiah:7:63 @Of the priests- the sons of Hobaiah, the sons of Hakkoz, the sons of Barzillai, who took a wife of the daughters of Barzillai, the Gileadite, and was named after them.

nasb@Nehemiah:7:69 @their camels, 435; their donkeys, 6,720.

nasb@Nehemiah:7:70 @Some from among the heads of fathers' households gave to the work. The governor gave to the treasury 1,000 gold drachmas, 50 basins, 530 priests' garments.

nasb@Nehemiah:7:71 @Some of the heads of fathers' households gave into the treasury of the work 20,000 gold drachmas and 2,200 silver minas.

nasb@Nehemiah:7:72 @That which the rest of the people gave was 20,000 gold drachmas and 2,000 silver minas and 67 priests' garments.

nasb@Nehemiah:7:73 @Now the priests, the Levites, the gatekeepers, the singers, some of the people, the temple servants and all Israel, lived in their cities. And when the seventh month came, the sons of Israel were in their cities.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:2 @Then Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly of men, women and all who could listen with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:3 @He read from it before the square which was in front of the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of men and women, those who could understand; and all the people were attentive to the book of the law.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:4 @Ezra the scribe stood at a wooden podium which they had made for the purpose. And beside him stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maaseiah on his right hand; and Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah and Meshullam on his left hand.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:6 @Then Ezra blessed the LORD the great God. And all the people answered, " Amen, Amen!" while lifting up their hands; then they bowed low and worshiped the LORD with their faces to the ground.

nasb@Nehemiah:8:11 @So the Levites calmed all the people, saying, "Be still, for the day is holy; do not be grieved."

nasb@Nehemiah:8:15 @So they proclaimed and circulated a proclamation in all their cities and in Jerusalem, saying, " Go out to the hills, and bring olive branches and wild olive branches, myrtle branches, palm branches and branches of other leafy trees, to make booths, as it is written."

nasb@Nehemiah:9:5 @Then the Levites, Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah and Pethahiah, said, "Arise, bless the LORD your God forever and ever! O may Your glorious name be blessed And exalted above all blessing and praise!

nasb@Nehemiah:9:7" @You are the LORD God, Who chose Abram And brought him out from Ur of the Chaldees, And gave him the name Abraham.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:10" @Then You performed signs and wonders against Pharaoh, Against all his servants and all the people of his land; For You knew that they acted arrogantly toward them, And made a name for Yourself as it is this day.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:13" @Then You came down on Mount Sinai, And spoke with them from heaven; You gave them just ordinances and true laws, Good statutes and commandments.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:14" @So You made known to them Your holy sabbath, And laid down for them commandments, statutes and law, Through Your servant Moses.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:16" @But they, our fathers, acted arrogantly; They became stubborn and would not listen to Your commandments.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:17" @They refused to listen, And did not remember Your wondrous deeds which You had performed among them; So they became stubborn and appointed a leader to return to their slavery in Egypt. But You are a God of forgiveness, Gracious and compassionate, Slow to anger and abounding in lovingkindness; And You did not forsake them.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:18" @Even when they made for themselves A calf of molten metal And said, 'This is your God Who brought you up from Egypt,' And committed great blasphemies,

nasb@Nehemiah:9:23" @You made their sons numerous as the stars of heaven, And You brought them into the land Which You had told their fathers to enter and possess.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:26" @ But they became disobedient and rebelled against You, And cast Your law behind their backs And killed Your prophets who had admonished them So that they might return to You, And they committed great blasphemies.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:27" @Therefore You delivered them into the hand of their oppressors who oppressed them, But when they cried to You in the time of their distress, You heard from heaven, and according to Your great compassion You gave them deliverers who delivered them from the hand of their oppressors.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:28" @But as soon as they had rest, they did evil again before You; Therefore You abandoned them to the hand of their enemies, so that they ruled over them. When they cried again to You, You heard from heaven, And many times You rescued them according to Your compassion,

nasb@Nehemiah:9:29 @And admonished them in order to turn them back to Your law. Yet they acted arrogantly and did not listen to Your commandments but sinned against Your ordinances, By which if a man observes them he shall live. And they turned a stubborn shoulder and stiffened their neck, and would not listen.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:32" @Now therefore, our God, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God, who keeps covenant and lovingkindness, Do not let all the hardship seem insignificant before You, Which has come upon us, our kings, our princes, our priests, our prophets, our fathers and on all Your people, From the days of the kings of Assyria to this day.

nasb@Nehemiah:9:33" @However, You are just in all that has come upon us; For You have dealt faithfully, but we have acted wickedly.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:12 @Now in the days of Joiakim, the priests, the heads of fathers' households were- of Seraiah, Meraiah; of Jeremiah, Hananiah;

nasb@Nehemiah:12:27 @Now at the dedication of the wall of Jerusalem they sought out the Levites from all their places, to bring them to Jerusalem so that they might celebrate the dedication with gladness, with hymns of thanksgiving and with songs to the accompaniment of cymbals, harps and lyres.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:31 @Then I had the leaders of Judah come up on top of the wall, and I appointed two great choirs, the first proceeding to the right on top of the wall toward the Refuse Gate.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:33 @with Azariah, Ezra, Meshullam,

nasb@Nehemiah:12:35 @and some of the sons of the priests with trumpets; and Zechariah the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,

nasb@Nehemiah:12:36 @and his kinsmen, Shemaiah, Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel, Judah and Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God. And Ezra the scribe went before them.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:40 @Then the two choirs took their stand in the house of God. So did I and half of the officials with me;

nasb@Nehemiah:12:43 @and on that day they offered great sacrifices and rejoiced because God had given them great joy, even the women and children rejoiced, so that the joy of Jerusalem was heard from afar.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:44 @On that day men were also appointed over the chambers for the stores, the contributions, the first fruits and the tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions required by the law for the priests and Levites; for Judah rejoiced over the priests and Levites who served.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:45 @For they performed the worship of their God and the service of purification, together with the singers and the gatekeepers in accordance with the command of David and of his son Solomon.

nasb@Nehemiah:12:46 @For in the days of David and Asaph, in ancient times, there were leaders of the singers, songs of praise and hymns of thanksgiving to God.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:2 @because they did not meet the sons of Israel with bread and water, but hired Balaam against them to curse them. However, our God turned the curse into a blessing.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:6 @But during all this time I was not in Jerusalem, for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes king of Babylon I had gone to the king. After some time, however, I asked leave from the king,

nasb@Nehemiah:13:7 @and I came to Jerusalem and learned about the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobiah, by preparing a room for him in the courts of the house of God.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:8 @It was very displeasing to me, so I threw all of Tobiah's household goods out of the room.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:10 @I also discovered that the portions of the Levites had not been given them, so that the Levites and the singers who performed the service had gone away, each to his own field.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:13 @In charge of the storehouses I appointed Shelemiah the priest, Zadok the scribe, and Pedaiah of the Levites, and in addition to them was Hanan the son of Zaccur, the son of Mattaniah; for they were considered reliable, and it was their task to distribute to their kinsmen.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:14 @Remember me for this, O my God, and do not blot out my loyal deeds which I have performed for the house of my God and its services.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:15 @In those days I saw in Judah some who were treading wine presses on the sabbath, and bringing in sacks of grain and loading them on donkeys, as well as wine, grapes, figs and all kinds of loads, and they brought them into Jerusalem on the sabbath day. So I admonished them on the day they sold food.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:16 @Also men of Tyre were living there who imported fish and all kinds of merchandise, and sold them to the sons of Judah on the sabbath, even in Jerusalem.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:18" @ Did not your fathers do the same, so that our God brought on us and on this city all this trouble? Yet you are adding to the wrath on Israel by profaning the sabbath."

nasb@Nehemiah:13:19 @It came about that just as it grew dark at the gates of Jerusalem before the sabbath, I commanded that the doors should be shut and that they should not open them until after the sabbath. Then I stationed some of my servants at the gates so that no load would enter on the sabbath day.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:20 @Once or twice the traders and merchants of every kind of merchandise spent the night outside Jerusalem.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:21 @Then I warned them and said to them, "Why do you spend the night in front of the wall? If you do so again, I will use force against you." From that time on they did not come on the sabbath.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:22 @And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves and come as gatekeepers to sanctify the sabbath day. For this also remember me, O my God, and have compassion on me according to the greatness of Your lovingkindness.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:23 @In those days I also saw that the Jews had married women from Ashdod, Ammon and Moab.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:25 @So I contended with them and cursed them and struck some of them and pulled out their hair, and made them swear by God, "You shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take of their daughters for your sons or for yourselves.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:26" @ Did not Solomon king of Israel sin regarding these things? Yet among the many nations there was no king like him, and he was loved by his God, and God made him king over all Israel; nevertheless the foreign women caused even him to sin.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:27" @Do we then hear about you that you have committed all this great evil by acting unfaithfully against our God by marrying foreign women?"

nasb@Nehemiah:13:28 @Even one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib the high priest, was a son-in-law of Sanballat the Horonite, so I drove him away from me.

nasb@Nehemiah:13:29 @Remember them, O my God, because they have defiled the priesthood and the covenant of the priesthood and the Levites.

nasb@Esther:1:3 @in the third year of his reign he gave a banquet for all his princes and attendants, the army officers of Persia and Media, the nobles and the princes of his provinces being in his presence.

nasb@Esther:1:6 @There were hangings of fine white and violet linen held by cords of fine purple linen on silver rings and marble columns, and couches of gold and silver on a mosaic pavement of porphyry, marble, mother-of-pearl and precious stones.

nasb@Esther:1:9 @Queen Vashti also gave a banquet for the women in the palace which belonged to King Ahasuerus.

nasb@Esther:1:10 @On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar and Carkas, the seven eunuchs who served in the presence of King Ahasuerus,

nasb@Esther:1:12 @But Queen Vashti refused to come at the king's command delivered by the eunuchs. Then the king became very angry and his wrath burned within him.

nasb@Esther:1:13 @Then the king said to the wise men who understood the times--for it was the custom of the king so to speak before all who knew law and justice

nasb@Esther:1:14 @and were close to him- Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena and Memucan, the seven princes of Persia and Media who had access to the king's presence and sat in the first place in the kingdom--

nasb@Esther:1:16 @In the presence of the king and the princes, Memucan said, "Queen Vashti has wronged not only the king but also all the princes and all the peoples who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.

nasb@Esther:1:17" @For the queen's conduct will become known to all the women causing them to look with contempt on their husbands by saying, 'King Ahasuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought in to his presence, but she did not come.'

nasb@Esther:1:18" @This day the ladies of Persia and Media who have heard of the queen's conduct will speak in the same way to all the king's princes, and there will be plenty of contempt and anger.

nasb@Esther:1:19" @If it pleases the king, let a royal edict be issued by him and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media so that it cannot be repealed, that Vashti may no longer come into the presence of King Ahasuerus, and let the king give her royal position to another who is more worthy than she.

nasb@Esther:1:20" @When the king's edict which he will make is heard throughout all his kingdom, great as it is, then all women will give honor to their husbands, great and small."

nasb@Esther:1:21 @This word pleased the king and the princes, and the king did as Memucan proposed.

nasb@Esther:2:1 @After these things when the anger of King Ahasuerus had subsided, he remembered Vashti and what she had done and what had been decreed against her.

nasb@Esther:2:3" @Let the king appoint overseers in all the provinces of his kingdom that they may gather every beautiful young virgin to the citadel of Susa, to the harem, into the custody of Hegai, the king's eunuch, who is in charge of the women; and let their cosmetics be given them.

nasb@Esther:2:5 @Now there was at the citadel in Susa a Jew whose name was Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite,

nasb@Esther:2:8 @So it came about when the command and decree of the king were heard and many young ladies were gathered to the citadel of Susa into the custody of Hegai, that Esther was taken to the king's palace into the custody of Hegai, who was in charge of the women.

nasb@Esther:2:9 @Now the young lady pleased him and found favor with him. So he quickly provided her with her cosmetics and food, gave her seven choice maids from the king's palace and transferred her and her maids to the best place in the harem.

nasb@Esther:2:12 @Now when the turn of each young lady came to go in to King Ahasuerus, after the end of her twelve months under the regulations for the women--for the days of their beautification were completed as follows- six months with oil of myrrh and six months with spices and the cosmetics for women--

nasb@Esther:2:14 @In the evening she would go in and in the morning she would return to the second harem, to the custody of Shaashgaz, the king's eunuch who was in charge of the concubines. She would not again go in to the king unless the king delighted in her and she was summoned by name.

nasb@Esther:2:15 @Now when the turn of Esther, the daughter of Abihail the uncle of Mordecai who had taken her as his daughter, came to go in to the king, she did not request anything except what Hegai, the king's eunuch who was in charge of the women, advised. And Esther found favor in the eyes of all who saw her.

nasb@Esther:2:17 @The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she found favor and kindness with him more than all the virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti.

nasb@Esther:2:19 @When the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate.

nasb@Esther:2:21 @In those days, while Mordecai was sitting at the king's gate, Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king's officials from those who guarded the door, became angry and sought to lay hands on King Ahasuerus.

nasb@Esther:2:22 @But the plot became known to Mordecai and he told Queen Esther, and Esther informed the king in Mordecai's name.

nasb@Esther:3:1 @After these events King Ahasuerus promoted Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, and advanced him and established his authority over all the princes who were with him.

nasb@Esther:3:10 @Then the king took his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.

nasb@Esther:3:12 @Then the king's scribes were summoned on the thirteenth day of the first month, and it was written just as Haman commanded to the king's satraps, to the governors who were over each province and to the princes of each people, each province according to its script, each people according to its language, being written in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed with the king's signet ring.

nasb@Esther:3:13 @Letters were sent by couriers to all the king's provinces to destroy, to kill and to annihilate all the Jews, both young and old, women and children, in one day, the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, and to seize their possessions as plunder.

nasb@Esther:4:3 @In each and every province where the command and decree of the king came, there was great mourning among the Jews, with fasting, weeping and wailing; and many lay on sackcloth and ashes.

nasb@Esther:4:4 @Then Esther's maidens and her eunuchs came and told her, and the queen writhed in great anguish. And she sent garments to clothe Mordecai that he might remove his sackcloth from him, but he did not accept them.

nasb@Esther:4:9 @Hathach came back and related Mordecai's words to Esther.

nasb@Esther:4:11" @All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that for any man or woman who comes to the king to the inner court who is not summoned, he has but one law, that he be put to death, unless the king holds out to him the golden scepter so that he may live. And I have not been summoned to come to the king for these thirty days."

nasb@Esther:4:14" @For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place and you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?"

nasb@Esther:4:16" @Go, assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa, and fast for me; do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maidens also will fast in the same way. And thus I will go in to the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish."

nasb@Esther:5:1 @Now it came about on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's palace in front of the king's rooms, and the king was sitting on his royal throne in the throne room, opposite the entrance to the palace.

nasb@Esther:5:2 @When the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she obtained favor in his sight; and the king extended to Esther the golden scepter which was in his hand. So Esther came near and touched the top of the scepter.

nasb@Esther:5:4 @Esther said, "If it pleases the king, may the king and Haman come this day to the banquet that I have prepared for him."

nasb@Esther:5:5 @Then the king said, " Bring Haman quickly that we may do as Esther desires." So the king and Haman came to the banquet which Esther had prepared.

nasb@Esther:5:8 @if I have found favor in the sight of the king, and if it pleases the king to grant my petition and do what I request, may the king and Haman come to the banquet which I will prepare for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king says."

nasb@Esther:5:12 @Haman also said, "Even Esther the queen let no one but me come with the king to the banquet which she had prepared; and tomorrow also I am invited by her with the king.

nasb@Esther:5:13" @Yet all of this does not satisfy me every time I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king's gate."

nasb@Esther:6:5 @The king's servants said to him, "Behold, Haman is standing in the court." And the king said, "Let him come in."

nasb@Esther:6:6 @So Haman came in and the king said to him, "What is to be done for the man whom the king desires to honor?" And Haman said to himself, "Whom would the king desire to honor more than me?"

nasb@Esther:6:11 @So Haman took the robe and the horse, and arrayed Mordecai, and led him on horseback through the city square, and proclaimed before him, "Thus it shall be done to the man whom the king desires to honor."

nasb@Esther:6:12 @Then Mordecai returned to the king's gate. But Haman hurried home, mourning, with his head covered.

nasb@Esther:6:13 @Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, "If Mordecai, before whom you have begun to fall, is of Jewish origin, you will not overcome him, but will surely fall before him."

nasb@Esther:7:1 @Now the king and Haman came to drink wine with Esther the queen.

nasb@Esther:7:3 @Then Queen Esther replied, " If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king, let my life be given me as my petition, and my people as my request;

nasb@Esther:7:4 @for we have been sold, I and my people, to be destroyed, to be killed and to be annihilated. Now if we had only been sold as slaves, men and women, I would have remained silent, for the trouble would not be commensurate with the annoyance to the king."

nasb@Esther:7:5 @Then King Ahasuerus asked Queen Esther, "Who is he, and where is he, who would presume to do thus?"

nasb@Esther:7:6 @Esther said, " A foe and an enemy is this wicked Haman!" Then Haman became terrified before the king and queen.

nasb@Esther:7:8 @Now when the king returned from the palace garden into the place where they were drinking wine, Haman was falling on the couch where Esther was. Then the king said, "Will he even assault the queen with me in the house?" As the word went out of the king's mouth, they covered Haman's face.

nasb@Esther:8:1 @On that day King Ahasuerus gave the house of Haman, the enemy of the Jews, to Queen Esther; and Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had disclosed what he was to her.

nasb@Esther:8:3 @Then Esther spoke again to the king, fell at his feet, wept and implored him to avert the evil scheme of Haman the Agagite and his plot which he had devised against the Jews.

nasb@Esther:8:5 @Then she said, " If it pleases the king and if I have found favor before him and the matter seems proper to the king and I am pleasing in his sight, let it be written to revoke the letters devised by Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews who are in all the king's provinces.

nasb@Esther:8:8" @Now you write to the Jews as you see fit, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's signet ring; for a decree which is written in the name of the king and sealed with the king's signet ring may not be revoked."

nasb@Esther:8:9 @So the king's scribes were called at that time in the third month (that is, the month Sivan), on the twenty-third day; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, the satraps, the governors and the princes of the provinces which extended from India to Ethiopia, 127 provinces, to every province according to its script, and to every people according to their language as well as to the Jews according to their script and their language.

nasb@Esther:8:10 @He wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus, and sealed it with the king's signet ring, and sent letters by couriers on horses, riding on steeds sired by the royal stud.

nasb@Esther:8:11 @In them the king granted the Jews who were in each and every city the right to assemble and to defend their lives, to destroy, to kill and to annihilate the entire army of any people or province which might attack them, including children and women, and to plunder their spoil,

nasb@Esther:8:15 @Then Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal robes of blue and white, with a large crown of gold and a garment of fine linen and purple; and the city of Susa shouted and rejoiced.

nasb@Esther:8:17 @In each and every province and in each and every city, wherever the king's commandment and his decree arrived, there was gladness and joy for the Jews, a feast and a holiday. And many among the peoples of the land became Jews, for the dread of the Jews had fallen on them.

nasb@Esther:9:4 @Indeed, Mordecai was great in the king's house, and his fame spread throughout all the provinces; for the man Mordecai became greater and greater.

nasb@Esther:9:6 @At the citadel in Susa the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred men,

nasb@Esther:9:10 @the ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Jews' enemy; but they did not lay their hands on the plunder.

nasb@Esther:9:12 @The king said to Queen Esther, "The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men and the ten sons of Haman at the citadel in Susa. What then have they done in the rest of the king's provinces! Now what is your petition? It shall even be granted you. And what is your further request? It shall also be done."

nasb@Esther:9:15 @The Jews who were in Susa assembled also on the fourteenth day of the month Adar and killed three hundred men in Susa, but they did not lay their hands on the plunder.

nasb@Esther:9:18 @But the Jews who were in Susa assembled on the thirteenth and the fourteenth of the same month, and they rested on the fifteenth day and made it a day of feasting and rejoicing.

nasb@Esther:9:21 @obliging them to celebrate the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same month, annually,

nasb@Esther:9:24 @For Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the adversary of all the Jews, had schemed against the Jews to destroy them and had cast Pur, that is the lot, to disturb them and destroy them.

nasb@Esther:9:25 @But when it came to the king's attention, he commanded by letter that his wicked scheme which he had devised against the Jews, should return on his own head and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.

nasb@Esther:9:26 @Therefore they called these days Purim after the name of Pur. And because of the instructions in this letter, both what they had seen in this regard and what had happened to them,

nasb@Esther:9:27 @the Jews established and made a custom for themselves and for their descendants and for all those who allied themselves with them, so that they would not fail to celebrate these two days according to their regulation and according to their appointed time annually.

nasb@Esther:9:28 @So these days were to be remembered and celebrated throughout every generation, every family, every province and every city; and these days of Purim were not to fail from among the Jews, or their memory fade from their descendants.

nasb@Esther:9:30 @He sent letters to all the Jews, to the 127 provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, namely, words of peace and truth,

nasb@Esther:9:31 @to establish these days of Purim at their appointed times, just as Mordecai the Jew and Queen Esther had established for them, and just as they had established for themselves and for their descendants with instructions for their times of fasting and their lamentations.

nasb@Esther:10:2 @And all the accomplishments of his authority and strength, and the full account of the greatness of Mordecai to which the king advanced him, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Media and Persia?

nasb@Job:3:21" @Indeed, you have now become such, You see a terror and are afraid.

nasb@Job:3:22" @Have I said, 'Give me something,' Or, 'Offer a bribe for me from your wealth,'

nasb@Job:3:25" @How painful are honest words! But what does your argument prove?

nasb@Job:3:28" @Now please look at me, And see if I lie to your face.

nasb@Job:3:3 @So am I allotted months of vanity, And nights of trouble are appointed me.

nasb@Job:3:6" @My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, And come to an end without hope.

nasb@Job:3:13" @If I say, ' My bed will comfort me, My couch will ease my complaint,'

nasb@Job:3:14 @Then You frighten me with dreams And terrify me by visions;

nasb@Job:3:22" @Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, And the tent of the wicked will be no longer."

nasb@Job:3:3" @If one wished to dispute with Him, He could not answer Him once in a thousand times.

nasb@Job:3:11" @Were He to pass by me, I would not see Him; Were He to move past me, I would not perceive Him.

nasb@Job:3:15" @For though I were right, I could not answer; I would have to implore the mercy of my judge.

nasb@Job:3:16" @If I called and He answered me, I could not believe that He was listening to my voice.

nasb@Job:3:17" @For He bruises me with a tempest And multiplies my wounds without cause.

nasb@Job:3:18" @He will not allow me to get my breath, But saturates me with bitterness.

nasb@Job:3:20" @ Though I am righteous, my mouth will condemn me; Though I am guiltless, He will declare me guilty.

nasb@Job:3:28 @I am afraid of all my pains, I know that You will not acquit me.

nasb@Job:3:31 @Yet You would plunge me into the pit, And my own clothes would abhor me.

nasb@Job:3:34" @Let Him remove His rod from me, And let not dread of Him terrify me.

nasb@Job:3:2" @I will say to God, ' Do not condemn me; Let me know why You contend with me.

nasb@Job:3:12" @ An idiot will become intelligent When the foal of a wild donkey is born a man.

nasb@Job:3:16" @For you would forget your trouble, As waters that have passed by, you would remember it.

nasb@Job:3:4" @I am a joke to my friends, The one who called on God and He answered him; The just and blameless man is a joke.

nasb@Job:3:12" @Wisdom is with aged men, With long life is understanding.

nasb@Job:3:4" @But you smear with lies; You are all worthless physicians.

nasb@Job:3:5" @O that you would be completely silent, And that it would become your wisdom!

nasb@Job:3:6" @Please hear my argument And listen to the contentions of my lips.

nasb@Job:3:12" @Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your defenses are defenses of clay.

nasb@Job:3:13" @ Be silent before me so that I may speak; Then let come on me what may.

nasb@Job:3:15" @ Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. Nevertheless I will argue my ways before Him.

nasb@Job:3:16" @This also will be my salvation, For a godless man may not come before His presence.

nasb@Job:3:19" @ Who will contend with me? For then I would be silent and die.

nasb@Job:3:20" @Only two things do not do to me, Then I will not hide from Your face-

nasb@Job:3:21 @Remove Your hand from me, And let not the dread of You terrify me.

nasb@Job:3:22" @Then call, and I will answer; Or let me speak, then reply to me.

nasb@Job:3:23" @ How many are my iniquities and sins? Make known to me my rebellion and my sin.

nasb@Job:3:24" @Why do You hide Your face And consider me Your enemy?

nasb@Job:3:26" @For You write bitter things against me And make me to inherit the iniquities of my youth.

nasb@Job:3:28 @While I am decaying like a rotten thing, Like a garment that is moth-eaten.

nasb@Job:3:2" @ Like a flower he comes forth and withers. He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.

nasb@Job:3:3" @You also open Your eyes on him And bring him into judgment with Yourself.

nasb@Job:3:11" @As water evaporates from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dried up,

nasb@Job:3:13" @Oh that You would hide me in Sheol, That You would conceal me until Your wrath returns to You, That You would set a limit for me and remember me!

nasb@Job:3:14" @If a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my struggle I will wait Until my change comes.

nasb@Job:3:21" @His sons achieve honor, but he does not know it; Or they become insignificant, but he does not perceive it.

nasb@Job:3:4" @Indeed, you do away with reverence And hinder meditation before God.

nasb@Job:3:17" @I will tell you, listen to me; And what I have seen I will also declare;

nasb@Job:3:18 @What wise men have told, And have not concealed from their fathers,

nasb@Job:3:21" @Sounds of terror are in his ears; While at peace the destroyer comes upon him.

nasb@Job:3:28" @He has lived in desolate cities, In houses no one would inhabit, Which are destined to become ruins.

nasb@Job:3:29" @He will not become rich, nor will his wealth endure; And his grain will not bend down to the ground.

nasb@Job:3:30" @He will not escape from darkness; The flame will wither his shoots, And by the breath of His mouth he will go away.

nasb@Job:3:32" @It will be accomplished before his time, And his palm branch will not be green.

nasb@Job:3:34" @For the company of the godless is barren, And fire consumes the tents of the corrupt.

nasb@Job:3:6" @If I speak, my pain is not lessened, And if I hold back, what has left me?

nasb@Job:3:7" @But now He has exhausted me; You have laid waste all my company.

nasb@Job:3:8" @You have shriveled me up, It has become a witness; And my leanness rises up against me, It testifies to my face.

nasb@Job:3:9" @His anger has torn me and hunted me down, He has gnashed at me with His teeth; My adversary glares at me.

nasb@Job:3:10" @They have gaped at me with their mouth, They have slapped me on the cheek with contempt; They have massed themselves against me.

nasb@Job:3:11" @God hands me over to ruffians And tosses me into the hands of the wicked.

nasb@Job:3:12" @I was at ease, but He shattered me, And He has grasped me by the neck and shaken me to pieces; He has also set me up as His target.

nasb@Job:3:13" @His arrows surround me. Without mercy He splits my kidneys open; He pours out my gall on the ground.

nasb@Job:3:14" @He breaks through me with breach after breach; He runs at me like a warrior.

nasb@Job:3:17" @My spirit is broken, my days are extinguished, The grave is ready for me.

nasb@Job:3:2" @ Surely mockers are with me, And my eye gazes on their provocation.

nasb@Job:3:3" @Lay down, now, a pledge for me with Yourself; Who is there that will be my guarantor?

nasb@Job:3:6" @But He has made me a byword of the people, And I am one at whom men spit.

nasb@Job:3:7" @My eye has also grown dim because of grief, And all my members are as a shadow.

nasb@Job:3:10" @But come again all of you now, For I do not find a wise man among you.

nasb@Job:3:13" @If I look for Sheol as my home, I make my bed in the darkness;

nasb@Job:3:16" @Will it go down with me to SheolNULL Shall we together go down into the dustNULL"

nasb@Job:3:5" @Indeed, the light of the wicked goes out, And the flame of his fire gives no light.

nasb@Job:3:7" @His vigorous stride is shortened, And his own scheme brings him down.

nasb@Job:3:17" @ Memory of him perishes from the earth, And he has no name abroad.

nasb@Job:3:2" @How long will you torment me And crush me with words?

nasb@Job:3:3" @These ten times you have insulted me; You are not ashamed to wrong me.

nasb@Job:3:4" @Even if I have truly erred, My error lodges with me.

nasb@Job:3:5" @If indeed you vaunt yourselves against me And prove my disgrace to me,

nasb@Job:3:6 @Know then that God has wronged me And has closed His net around me.

nasb@Job:3:9" @He has stripped my honor from me And removed the crown from my head.

nasb@Job:3:10" @He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone; And He has uprooted my hope like a tree.

nasb@Job:3:11" @He has also kindled His anger against me And considered me as His enemy.

nasb@Job:3:12" @His troops come together, And build up their way against me And camp around my tent.

nasb@Job:3:13" @He has removed my brothers far from me, And my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.

nasb@Job:3:14" @My relatives have failed, And my intimate friends have forgotten me.

nasb@Job:3:15" @Those who live in my house and my maids consider me a stranger. I am a foreigner in their sight.

nasb@Job:3:17" @My breath is offensive to my wife, And I am loathsome to my own brothers.

nasb@Job:3:18" @Even young children despise me; I rise up and they speak against me.

nasb@Job:3:19" @All my associates abhor me, And those I love have turned against me.

nasb@Job:3:21" @Pity me, pity me, O you my friends, For the hand of God has struck me.

nasb@Job:3:22" @Why do you persecute me as God does, And are not satisfied with my flesh?

nasb@Job:3:25" @As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.

nasb@Job:3:27 @Whom I myself shall behold, And whom my eyes will see and not another. My heart faints within me!

nasb@Job:3:29" @Then be afraid of the sword for yourselves, For wrath brings the punishment of the sword, So that you may know there is judgment."

nasb@Job:3:2" @Therefore my disquieting thoughts make me respond, Even because of my inward agitation.

nasb@Job:3:3" @I listened to the reproof which insults me, And the spirit of my understanding makes me answer.

nasb@Job:3:4" @Do you know this from of old, From the establishment of man on earth,

nasb@Job:3:5 @That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless momentary?

nasb@Job:3:22" @In the fullness of his plenty he will be cramped; The hand of everyone who suffers will come against him.

nasb@Job:3:25" @It is drawn forth and comes out of his back, Even the glittering point from his gall. Terrors come upon him,

nasb@Job:3:26 @Complete darkness is held in reserve for his treasures, And unfanned fire will devour him; It will consume the survivor in his tent.

nasb@Job:3:3" @Bear with me that I may speak; Then after I have spoken, you may mock.

nasb@Job:3:4" @As for me, is my complaint to man? And why should I not be impatient?

nasb@Job:3:5" @Look at me, and be astonished, And put your hand over your mouth.

nasb@Job:3:6" @Even when I remember, I am disturbed, And horror takes hold of my flesh.

nasb@Job:3:7" @Why do the wicked still live, Continue on, also become very powerful?

nasb@Job:3:16" @Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand; The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

nasb@Job:3:27" @Behold, I know your thoughts, And the plans by which you would wrong me.

nasb@Job:3:29" @Have you not asked wayfaring men, And do you not recognize their witness?

nasb@Job:3:32" @While he is carried to the grave, Men will keep watch over his tomb.

nasb@Job:3:33" @The clods of the valley will gently cover him; Moreover, all men will follow after him, While countless ones go before him.

nasb@Job:3:34" @How then will you vainly comfort me, For your answers remain full of falsehoodNULL"

nasb@Job:3:4" @Is it because of your reverence that He reproves you, That He enters into judgment against you?

nasb@Job:3:6" @For you have taken pledges of your brothers without cause, And stripped men naked.

nasb@Job:3:15" @Will you keep to the ancient path Which wicked men have trod,

nasb@Job:3:16 @Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundations were washed away by a river?

nasb@Job:3:18" @Yet He filled their houses with good things; But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

nasb@Job:3:20 @Saying, 'Truly our adversaries are cut off, And their abundance the fire has consumed.'

nasb@Job:3:21" @ Yield now and be at peace with Him; Thereby good will come to you.

nasb@Job:3:3" @Oh that I knew where I might find Him, That I might come to His seat!

nasb@Job:3:4" @I would present my case before Him And fill my mouth with arguments.

nasb@Job:3:5" @I would learn the words which He would answer, And perceive what He would say to me.

nasb@Job:3:6" @Would He contend with me by the greatness of His power? No, surely He would pay attention to me.

nasb@Job:3:10" @But He knows the way I take; When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

nasb@Job:3:14" @For He performs what is appointed for me, And many such decrees are with Him.

nasb@Job:3:16" @It is God who has made my heart faint, And the Almighty who has dismayed me,

nasb@Job:3:17 @But I am not silenced by the darkness, Nor deep gloom which covers me.

nasb@Job:3:24" @ Why are times not stored up by the Almighty, And why do those who know Him not see His days?

nasb@Job:3:2" @Some remove the landmarks; They seize and devour flocks.

nasb@Job:3:12" @From the city men groan, And the souls of the wounded cry out; Yet God does not pay attention to folly.

nasb@Job:3:15" @The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight, Saying, 'No eye will see me.' And he disguises his face.

nasb@Job:3:17" @For the morning is the same to him as thick darkness, For he is familiar with the terrors of thick darkness.

nasb@Job:3:19" @Drought and heat consume the snow waters, So does Sheol those who have sinned.

nasb@Job:3:20" @A mother will forget him; The worm feeds sweetly till he is no longer remembered. And wickedness will be broken like a tree.

nasb@Job:3:25" @Now if it is not so, who can prove me a liar, And make my speech worthlessNULL"

nasb@Job:3:3 @For as long as life is in me, And the breath of God is in my nostrils,

nasb@Job:3:5" @Far be it from me that I should declare you right; Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

nasb@Job:3:9" @Will God hear his cry When distress comes upon him?

nasb@Job:3:10" @Will he take delight in the Almighty? Will he call on God at all times?

nasb@Job:3:16" @Though he piles up silver like dust And prepares garments as plentiful as the clay,

nasb@Job:3:23" @Men will clap their hands at him And will hiss him from his place.

nasb@Job:3:2" @Iron is taken from the dust, And copper is smelted from rock.

nasb@Job:3:4" @He sinks a shaft far from habitation, Forgotten by the foot; They hang and swing to and fro far from men.

nasb@Job:3:5" @The earth, from it comes food, And underneath it is turned up as fire.

nasb@Job:3:14" @The deep says, 'It is not in me'; And the sea says, 'It is not with me.'

nasb@Job:3:18" @Coral and crystal are not to be mentioned; And the acquisition of wisdom is above that of pearls.

nasb@Job:3:20" @ Where then does wisdom come from? And where is the place of understanding?

nasb@Job:3:25" @When He imparted weight to the wind And meted out the waters by measure,

nasb@Job:3:2" @Oh that I were as in months gone by, As in the days when God watched over me;

nasb@Job:3:4 @As I was in the prime of my days, When the friendship of God was over my tent;

nasb@Job:3:5 @When the Almighty was yet with me, And my children were around me;

nasb@Job:3:6 @When my steps were bathed in butter, And the rock poured out for me streams of oil!

nasb@Job:3:8 @The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the old men arose and stood.

nasb@Job:3:11" @For when the ear heard, it called me blessed, And when the eye saw, it gave witness of me,

nasb@Job:3:13" @The blessing of the one ready to perish came upon me, And I made the widow's heart sing for joy.

nasb@Job:3:14" @I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a turban.

nasb@Job:3:15" @I was eyes to the blind And feet to the lame.

nasb@Job:3:20 @'My glory is ever new with me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.'

nasb@Job:3:21" @To me they listened and waited, And kept silent for my counsel.

nasb@Job:3:23" @They waited for me as for the rain, And opened their mouth as for the spring rain.

nasb@Job:3:30" @But now those younger than I mock me, Whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock.

nasb@Job:3:2" @Indeed, what good was the strength of their hands to me? Vigor had perished from them.

nasb@Job:3:8" @Fools, even those without a name, They were scourged from the land.

nasb@Job:3:9" @And now I have become their taunt, I have even become a byword to them.

nasb@Job:3:10" @They abhor me and stand aloof from me, And they do not refrain from spitting at my face.

nasb@Job:3:11" @Because He has loosed His bowstring and afflicted me, They have cast off the bridle before me.

nasb@Job:3:12" @On the right hand their brood arises; They thrust aside my feet and build up against me their ways of destruction.

nasb@Job:3:14" @As through a wide breach they come, Amid the tempest they roll on.

nasb@Job:3:15" @ Terrors are turned against me; They pursue my honor as the wind, And my prosperity has passed away like a cloud.

nasb@Job:3:16" @And now my soul is poured out within me; Days of affliction have seized me.

nasb@Job:3:17" @At night it pierces my bones within me, And my gnawing pains take no rest.

nasb@Job:3:18" @By a great force my garment is distorted; It binds me about as the collar of my coat.

nasb@Job:3:19" @He has cast me into the mire, And I have become like dust and ashes.

nasb@Job:3:20" @I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer me; I stand up, and You turn Your attention against me.

nasb@Job:3:21" @You have become cruel to me; With the might of Your hand You persecute me.

nasb@Job:3:22" @You lift me up to the wind and cause me to ride; And You dissolve me in a storm.

nasb@Job:3:23" @For I know that You will bring me to death And to the house of meeting for all living.

nasb@Job:3:26" @When I expected good, then evil came; When I waited for light, then darkness came.

nasb@Job:3:27" @I am seething within and cannot relax; Days of affliction confront me.

nasb@Job:3:29" @I have become a brother to jackals And a companion of ostriches.

nasb@Job:3:30" @My skin turns black on me, And my bones burn with fever.

nasb@Job:3:6 @Let Him weigh me with accurate scales, And let God know my integrity.

nasb@Job:3:8 @Let me sow and another eat, And let my crops be uprooted.

nasb@Job:3:11" @For that would be a lustful crime; Moreover, it would be an iniquity punishable by judges.

nasb@Job:3:12" @For it would be fire that consumes to Abaddon, And would uproot all my increase.

nasb@Job:3:13" @If I have despised the claim of my male or female slaves When they filed a complaint against me,

nasb@Job:3:14 @What then could I do when God arises? And when He calls me to account, what will I answer Him?

nasb@Job:3:15" @Did not He who made me in the womb make him, And the same one fashion us in the womb?

nasb@Job:3:18 @(But from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, And from infancy I guided her),

nasb@Job:3:20 @If his loins have not thanked me, And if he has not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep,

nasb@Job:3:23" @For calamity from God is a terror to me, And because of His majesty I can do nothing.

nasb@Job:3:27 @And my heart became secretly enticed, And my hand threw a kiss from my mouth,

nasb@Job:3:28 @That too would have been an iniquity calling for judgment, For I would have denied God above.

nasb@Job:3:31" @Have the men of my tent not said, 'Who can find one who has not been satisfied with his meat'?

nasb@Job:3:34 @Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, And kept silent and did not go out of doors?

nasb@Job:3:35" @Oh that I had one to hear me! Behold, here is my signature; Let the Almighty answer me! And the indictment which my adversary has written,

nasb@Job:3:38" @If my land cries out against me, And its furrows weep together;

nasb@Job:4:1 @Then these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

nasb@Job:4:5 @And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men his anger burned.

nasb@Job:4:10" @So I say, 'Listen to me, I too will tell what I think.'

nasb@Job:4:14" @For he has not arranged his words against me, Nor will I reply to him with your arguments.

nasb@Job:4:18" @For I am full of words; The spirit within me constrains me.

nasb@Job:4:20" @Let me speak that I may get relief; Let me open my lips and answer.

nasb@Job:4:21" @Let me now be partial to no one, Nor flatter any man.

nasb@Job:4:22" @For I do not know how to flatter, Else my Maker would soon take me away.

nasb@Job:4:4" @The Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.

nasb@Job:4:5" @ Refute me if you can; Array yourselves before me, take your stand.

nasb@Job:4:32" @Then if you have anything to say, answer me; Speak, for I desire to justify you.

nasb@Job:4:33" @If not, listen to me; Keep silent, and I will teach you wisdom."

nasb@Job:4:2" @Hear my words, you wise men, And listen to me, you who know.

nasb@Job:4:8 @Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, And walks with wicked men?

nasb@Job:4:10" @Therefore, listen to me, you men of understanding. Far be it from God to do wickedness, And from the Almighty to do wrong.

nasb@Job:4:20" @In a moment they die, and at midnight People are shaken and pass away, And the mighty are taken away without a hand.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:8 @Also, I collected for myself silver and gold and the treasure of kings and provinces. I provided for myself male and female singers and the pleasures of men--many concubines.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:9 @Then I became great and increased more than all who preceded me in Jerusalem. My wisdom also stood by me.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:12 @So I turned to consider wisdom, madness and folly; for what will the man do who will come after the king except what has already been done?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:15 @Then I said to myself, " As is the fate of the fool, it will also befall me. Why then have I been extremely wise?" So I said to myself, "This too is vanity."

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:16 @For there is no lasting remembrance of the wise man as with the fool, inasmuch as in the coming days all will be forgotten. And how the wise man and the fool alike die!

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:17 @So I hated life, for the work which had been done under the sun was grievous to me; because everything is futility and striving after wind.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:18 @Thus I hated all the fruit of my labor for which I had labored under the sun, for I must leave it to the man who will come after me.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:25 @For who can eat and who can have enjoyment without Him?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:1 @There is an appointed time for everything. And there is a time for every event under heaven--

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:2 @A time to give birth and a time to die; A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:4 @A time to weep and a time to laugh; A time to mourn and a time to dance.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:5 @A time to throw stones and a time to gather stones; A time to embrace and a time to shun embracing.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:6 @A time to search and a time to give up as lost; A time to keep and a time to throw away.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:7 @A time to tear apart and a time to sew together; A time to be silent and a time to speak.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:8 @A time to love and a time to hate; A time for war and a time for peace.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:10 @I have seen the task which God has given the sons of men with which to occupy themselves.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:11 @He has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, yet so that man will not find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:12 @I know that there is nothing better for them than to rejoice and to do good in one's lifetime;

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:14 @I know that everything God does will remain forever; there is nothing to add to it and there is nothing to take from it, for God has so worked that men should fear Him.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @I said to myself, " God will judge both the righteous man and the wicked man," for a time for every matter and for every deed is there.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:18 @I said to myself concerning the sons of men, "God has surely tested them in order for them to see that they are but beasts."

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:19 @For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same. As one dies so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath and there is no advantage for man over beast, for all is vanity.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:20 @All go to the same place. All came from the dust and all return to the dust.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:5 @The fool folds his hands and consumes his own flesh.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:14 @For he has come out of prison to become king, even though he was born poor in his kingdom.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:16 @There is no end to all the people, to all who were before them, and even the ones who will come later will not be happy with him, for this too is vanity and striving after wind.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:4:3 @For the dream comes through much effort and the voice of a fool through many words.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:4:6 @Do not let your speech cause you to sin and do not say in the presence of the messenger of God that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry on account of your voice and destroy the work of your hands?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:4:10 @He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor he who loves abundance with its income. This too is vanity.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:4:11 @When good things increase, those who consume them increase. So what is the advantage to their owners except to look on?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:4:14 @When those riches were lost through a bad investment and he had fathered a son, then there was nothing to support him.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:4:15 @As he had come naked from his mother's womb, so will he return as he came. He will take nothing from the fruit of his labor that he can carry in his hand.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:5:1 @There is an evil which I have seen under the sun and it is prevalent among men--

nasb@Ecclesiastes:5:4 @for it comes in futility and goes into obscurity; and its name is covered in obscurity.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:5:10 @Whatever exists has already been named, and it is known what man is; for he cannot dispute with him who is stronger than he is.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:5:12 @For who knows what is good for a man during his lifetime, during the few years of his futile lifeNULL He will spend them like a shadow. For who can tell a man what will be after him under the sunNULL

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:1 @A good name is better than a good ointment, And the day of one's death is better than the day of one's birth.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:10 @Do not say, "Why is it that the former days were better than these?" For it is not from wisdom that you ask about this.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:15 @I have seen everything during my lifetime of futility; there is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his wickedness.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:17 @Do not be excessively wicked and do not be a fool. Why should you die before your time?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:18 @It is good that you grasp one thing and also not let go of the other; for the one who fears God comes forth with both of them.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:22 @For you also have realized that you likewise have many times cursed others.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:23 @I tested all this with wisdom, and I said, "I will be wise," but it was far from me.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:29" @Behold, I have found only this, that God made men upright, but they have sought out many devices."

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:5 @He who keeps a royal command experiences no trouble, for a wise heart knows the proper time and procedure.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:6 @For there is a proper time and procedure for every delight, though a man's trouble is heavy upon him.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:8 @No man has authority to restrain the wind with the wind, or authority over the day of death; and there is no discharge in the time of war, and evil will not deliver those who practice it.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:11 @Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:12 @Although a sinner does evil a hundred times and may lengthen his life, still I know that it will be well for those who fear God, who fear Him openly.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:14 @There is futility which is done on the earth, that is, there are righteous men to whom it happens according to the deeds of the wicked. On the other hand, there are evil men to whom it happens according to the deeds of the righteous. I say that this too is futility.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:15 @So I commended pleasure, for there is nothing good for a man under the sun except to eat and to drink and to be merry, and this will stand by him in his toils throughout the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:1 @For I have taken all this to my heart and explain it that righteous men, wise men, and their deeds are in the hand of God. Man does not know whether it will be love or hatred; anything awaits him.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:2 @It is the same for all. There is one fate for the righteous and for the wicked; for the good, for the clean and for the unclean; for the man who offers a sacrifice and for the one who does not sacrifice. As the good man is, so is the sinner; as the swearer is, so is the one who is afraid to swear.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:3 @This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one fate for all men. Furthermore, the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil and insanity is in their hearts throughout their lives. Afterwards they go to the dead.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:5 @For the living know they will die; but the dead do not know anything, nor have they any longer a reward, for their memory is forgotten.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:8 @Let your clothes be white all the time, and let not oil be lacking on your head.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:11 @I again saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift and the battle is not to the warriors, and neither is bread to the wise nor wealth to the discerning nor favor to men of ability; for time and chance overtake them all.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:12 @Moreover, man does not know his time- like fish caught in a treacherous net and birds trapped in a snare, so the sons of men are ensnared at an evil time when it suddenly falls on them.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:13 @Also this I came to see as wisdom under the sun, and it impressed me.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:14 @There was a small city with few men in it and a great king came to it, surrounded it and constructed large siegeworks against it.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @But there was found in it a poor wise man and he delivered the city by his wisdom. Yet no one remembered that poor man.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:9:1 @Dead flies make a perfumer's oil stink, so a little foolishness is weightier than wisdom and honor.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:9:6 @folly is set in many exalted places while rich men sit in humble places.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @If the serpent bites before being charmed, there is no profit for the charmer.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @Words from the mouth of a wise man are gracious, while the lips of a fool consume him;

nasb@Ecclesiastes:9:14 @Yet the fool multiplies words. No man knows what will happen, and who can tell him what will come after him?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:9:17 @Blessed are you, O land, whose king is of nobility and whose princes eat at the appropriate time--for strength and not for drunkenness.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:9:19 @Men prepare a meal for enjoyment, and wine makes life merry, and money is the answer to everything.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:10:5 @Just as you do not know the path of the wind and how bones are formed in the womb of the pregnant woman, so you do not know the activity of God who makes all things.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:10:8 @Indeed, if a man should live many years, let him rejoice in them all, and let him remember the days of darkness, for they will be many. Everything that is to come will be futility.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:10:9 @Rejoice, young man, during your childhood, and let your heart be pleasant during the days of young manhood. And follow the impulses of your heart and the desires of your eyes. Yet know that God will bring you to judgment for all these things.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @So, remove grief and anger from your heart and put away pain from your body, because childhood and the prime of life are fleeting.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:11:1 @Remember also your Creator in the days of your youth, before the evil days come and the years draw near when you will say, "I have no delight in them";

nasb@Ecclesiastes:11:3 @in the day that the watchmen of the house tremble, and mighty men stoop, the grinding ones stand idle because they are few, and those who look through windows grow dim;

nasb@Ecclesiastes:11:5 @Furthermore, men are afraid of a high place and of terrors on the road; the almond tree blossoms, the grasshopper drags himself along, and the caperberry is ineffective. For man goes to his eternal home while mourners go about in the street.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:11:6 @Remember Him before the silver cord is broken and the golden bowl is crushed, the pitcher by the well is shattered and the wheel at the cistern is crushed;

nasb@Ecclesiastes:11:11 @The words of wise men are like goads, and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails; they are given by one Shepherd.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:11:13 @The conclusion, when all has been heard, is- fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:11:14 @For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.

nasb@Songs:0:2" @ May he kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is better than wine.

nasb@Songs:0:3" @Your oils have a pleasing fragrance, Your name is like purified oil; Therefore the maidens love you.

nasb@Songs:0:14" @O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the secret place of the steep pathway, Let me see your form, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your form is lovely."

nasb@Songs:1:3" @ The watchmen who make the rounds in the city found me, And I said, 'Have you seen him whom my soul loves?'

nasb@Songs:1:4" @ Scarcely had I left them When I found him whom my soul loves; I held on to him and would not let him go Until I had brought him to my mother's house, And into the room of her who conceived me."

nasb@Songs:1:6" @ What is this coming up from the wilderness Like columns of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all scented powders of the merchant?

nasb@Songs:1:3" @Your lips are like a scarlet thread, And your mouth is lovely. Your temples are like a slice of a pomegranate Behind your veil.

nasb@Songs:1:4" @Your neck is like the tower of David, Built with rows of stones On which are hung a thousand shields, All the round shields of the mighty men.

nasb@Songs:1:8" @Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, May you come with me from Lebanon. Journey down from the summit of Amana, From the summit of Senir and Hermon, From the dens of lions, From the mountains of leopards.

nasb@Songs:1:11" @Your lips, my bride, drip honey; Honey and milk are under your tongue, And the fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.

nasb@Songs:1:13" @Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates With choice fruits, henna with nard plants,

nasb@Songs:1:16" @ Awake, O north wind, And come, wind of the south; Make my garden breathe out fragrance, Let its spices be wafted abroad. May my beloved come into his garden And eat its choice fruits!"

nasb@Songs:1:5" @ I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; I have gathered my myrrh along with my balsam. I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey; I have drunk my wine and my milk. Eat, friends; Drink and imbibe deeply, O lovers."

nasb@Songs:1:2" @ I was asleep but my heart was awake. A voice! My beloved was knocking- 'Open to me, my sister, my darling, My dove, my perfect one! For my head is drenched with dew, My locks with the damp of the night.'

nasb@Songs:1:6" @I opened to my beloved, But my beloved had turned away and had gone! My heart went out to him as he spoke. I searched for him but I did not find him; I called him but he did not answer me.

nasb@Songs:1:7" @The watchmen who make the rounds in the city found me, They struck me and wounded me; The guardsmen of the walls took away my shawl from me.

nasb@Songs:1:14" @His hands are rods of gold Set with beryl; His abdomen is carved ivory Inlaid with sapphires.

nasb@Songs:1:12" @Let us rise early and go to the vineyards; Let us see whether the vine has budded And its blossoms have opened, And whether the pomegranates have bloomed. There I will give you my love.

nasb@Songs:1:8" @Oh that you were like a brother to me Who nursed at my mother's breasts. If I found you outdoors, I would kiss you; No one would despise me, either.

nasb@Songs:1:2" @I would lead you and bring you Into the house of my mother, who used to instruct me; I would give you spiced wine to drink from the juice of my pomegranates.

nasb@Songs:1:3" @Let his left hand be under my head And his right hand embrace me."

nasb@Songs:1:6" @Put me like a seal over your heart, Like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, Jealousy is as severe as Sheol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, The very flame of the LORD.

nasb@Songs:1:9" @If she is a wall, We will build on her a battlement of silver; But if she is a door, We will barricade her with planks of cedar."

nasb@Songs:1:10" @ I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers; Then I became in his eyes as one who finds peace.

nasb@Isaiah:1:2 @Listen, O heavens, and hear, O earth; For the LORD speaks, " Sons I have reared and brought up, But they have revolted against Me.

nasb@Isaiah:1:11" @ What are your multiplied sacrifices to Me?" Says the LORD. "I have had enough of burnt offerings of rams And the fat of fed cattle; And I take no pleasure in the blood of bulls, lambs or goats.

nasb@Isaiah:1:12" @When you come to appear before Me, Who requires of you this trampling of My courts?

nasb@Isaiah:1:13" @Bring your worthless offerings no longer, Incense is an abomination to Me. New moon and sabbath, the calling of assemblies-- I cannot endure iniquity and the solemn assembly.

nasb@Isaiah:1:14" @I hate your new moon festivals and your appointed feasts, They have become a burden to Me; I am weary of bearing them.

nasb@Isaiah:1:18" @Come now, and let us reason together," Says the LORD, " Though your sins are as scarlet, They will be as white as snow; Though they are red like crimson, They will be like wool.

nasb@Isaiah:1:21 @How the faithful city has become a harlot, She who was full of justice! Righteousness once lodged in her, But now murderers.

nasb@Isaiah:1:22 @Your silver has become dross, Your drink diluted with water.

nasb@Isaiah:1:23 @Your rulers are rebels And companions of thieves; Everyone loves a bribe And chases after rewards. They do not defend the orphan, Nor does the widow's plea come before them.

nasb@Isaiah:1:25" @I will also turn My hand against you, And will smelt away your dross as with lye And will remove all your alloy.

nasb@Isaiah:1:27 @Zion will be redeemed with justice And her repentant ones with righteousness.

nasb@Isaiah:1:28 @But transgressors and sinners will be crushed together, And those who forsake the LORD will come to an end.

nasb@Isaiah:1:29 @Surely you will be ashamed of the oaks which you have desired, And you will be embarrassed at the gardens which you have chosen.

nasb@Isaiah:1:31 @The strong man will become tinder, His work also a spark. Thus they shall both burn together And there will be none to quench them.

nasb@Isaiah:2:2 @Now it will come about that In the last days The mountain of the house of the LORD Will be established as the chief of the mountains, And will be raised above the hills; And all the nations will stream to it.

nasb@Isaiah:2:3 @And many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; That He may teach us concerning His ways And that we may walk in His paths." For the law will go forth from Zion And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

nasb@Isaiah:2:4 @And He will judge between the nations, And will render decisions for many peoples; And they will hammer their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And never again will they learn war.

nasb@Isaiah:2:5 @Come, house of Jacob, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.

nasb@Isaiah:2:17 @The pride of man will be humbled And the loftiness of men will be abased; And the LORD alone will be exalted in that day,

nasb@Isaiah:2:19 @Men will go into caves of the rocks And into holes of the ground Before the terror of the LORD And the splendor of His majesty, When He arises to make the earth tremble.

nasb@Isaiah:2:20 @In that day men will cast away to the moles and the bats Their idols of silver and their idols of gold, Which they made for themselves to worship,

nasb@Isaiah:2:22 @Stop regarding man, whose breath of life is in his nostrils; For why should he be esteemedNULL

nasb@Isaiah:3:4 @And I will make mere lads their princes, And capricious children will rule over them,

nasb@Isaiah:3:7 @He will protest on that day, saying, "I will not be your healer, For in my house there is neither bread nor cloak; You should not appoint me ruler of the people."

nasb@Isaiah:3:12 @O My people! Their oppressors are children, And women rule over them. O My people! Those who guide you lead you astray And confuse the direction of your paths.

nasb@Isaiah:3:14 @The LORD enters into judgment with the elders and princes of His people, "It is you who have devoured the vineyard; The plunder of the poor is in your houses.

nasb@Isaiah:3:15" @What do you mean by crushing My people And grinding the face of the poor?" Declares the Lord GOD of hosts.

nasb@Isaiah:3:18 @In that day the Lord will take away the beauty of their anklets, headbands, crescent ornaments,

nasb@Isaiah:3:20 @headdresses, ankle chains, sashes, perfume boxes, amulets,

nasb@Isaiah:3:23 @hand mirrors, undergarments, turbans and veils.

nasb@Isaiah:3:24 @Now it will come about that instead of sweet perfume there will be putrefaction; Instead of a belt, a rope; Instead of well-set hair, a plucked-out scalp; Instead of fine clothes, a donning of sackcloth; And branding instead of beauty.

nasb@Isaiah:3:25 @Your men will fall by the sword And your mighty ones in battle.

nasb@Isaiah:3:26 @And her gates will lament and mourn, And deserted she will sit on the ground.

nasb@Isaiah:4:1 @For seven women will take hold of one man in that day, saying, "We will eat our own bread and wear our own clothes, only let us be called by your name; take away our reproach!"

nasb@Isaiah:4:2 @In that day the Branch of the LORD will be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the earth will be the pride and the adornment of the survivors of Israel.

nasb@Isaiah:4:3 @It will come about that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy--everyone who is recorded for life in Jerusalem.

nasb@Isaiah:4:4 @When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and purged the bloodshed of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and the spirit of burning,

nasb@Isaiah:5:1 @Let me sing now for my well-beloved A song of my beloved concerning His vineyard. My well-beloved had a vineyard on a fertile hill.

nasb@Isaiah:5:3" @And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem and men of Judah, Judge between Me and My vineyard.

nasb@Isaiah:5:5" @So now let Me tell you what I am going to do to My vineyard- I will remove its hedge and it will be consumed; I will break down its wall and it will become trampled ground.

nasb@Isaiah:5:6" @I will lay it waste; It will not be pruned or hoed, But briars and thorns will come up. I will also charge the clouds to rain no rain on it."

nasb@Isaiah:5:7 @For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel And the men of Judah His delightful plant. Thus He looked for justice, but behold, bloodshed; For righteousness, but behold, a cry of distress.

nasb@Isaiah:5:9 @In my ears the LORD of hosts has sworn, "Surely, many houses shall become desolate, Even great and fine ones, without occupants.

nasb@Isaiah:5:10" @For ten acres of vineyard will yield only one bath of wine, And a homer of seed will yield but an ephah of grain."

nasb@Isaiah:5:11 @Woe to those who rise early in the morning that they may pursue strong drink, Who stay up late in the evening that wine may inflame them!

nasb@Isaiah:5:13 @Therefore My people go into exile for their lack of knowledge; And their honorable men are famished, And their multitude is parched with thirst.

nasb@Isaiah:5:14 @Therefore Sheol has enlarged its throat and opened its mouth without measure; And Jerusalem's splendor, her multitude, her din of revelry and the jubilant within her, descend into it.

nasb@Isaiah:5:16 @But the LORD of hosts will be exalted in judgment, And the holy God will show Himself holy in righteousness.

nasb@Isaiah:5:19 @Who say, "Let Him make speed, let Him hasten His work, that we may see it; And let the purpose of the Holy One of Israel draw near And come to pass, that we may know it!"

nasb@Isaiah:5:22 @Woe to those who are heroes in drinking wine And valiant men in mixing strong drink,

nasb@Isaiah:5:24 @Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes stubble And dry grass collapses into the flame, So their root will become like rot and their blossom blow away as dust; For they have rejected the law of the LORD of hosts And despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

nasb@Isaiah:5:26 @He will also lift up a standard to the distant nation, And will whistle for it from the ends of the earth; And behold, it will come with speed swiftly.

nasb@Isaiah:6:5 @Then I said, " Woe is me, for I am ruined! Because I am a man of unclean lips, And I live among a people of unclean lips; For my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of hosts."

nasb@Isaiah:6:6 @Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from the altar with tongs.

nasb@Isaiah:6:8 @Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I. Send me!"

nasb@Isaiah:6:12" @The LORD has removed men far away, And the forsaken places are many in the midst of the land.

nasb@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, king of Israel, went up to Jerusalem to wage war against it, but could not conquer it.

nasb@Isaiah:7:2 @When it was reported to the house of David, saying, "The Arameans have camped in Ephraim," his heart and the hearts of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake with the wind.

nasb@Isaiah:7:23 @And it will come about in that day, that every place where there used to be a thousand vines, valued at a thousand shekels of silver, will become briars and thorns.

nasb@Isaiah:7:24 @People will come there with bows and arrows because all the land will be briars and thorns.

nasb@Isaiah:7:25 @As for all the hills which used to be cultivated with the hoe, you will not go there for fear of briars and thorns; but they will become a place for pasturing oxen and for sheep to trample.

nasb@Isaiah:7:8 @Then the LORD said to me, "Take for yourself a large tablet and write on it in ordinary letters- Swift is the booty, speedy is the prey.

nasb@Isaiah:8:6 @For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us; And the government will rest on His shoulders; And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

nasb@Isaiah:8:7 @There will be no end to the increase of His government or of peace, On the throne of David and over his kingdom, To establish it and to uphold it with justice and righteousness From then on and forevermore. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will accomplish this.

nasb@Isaiah:8:18 @For wickedness burns like a fire; It consumes briars and thorns; It even sets the thickets of the forest aflame And they roll upward in a column of smoke.

nasb@Isaiah:9:16 @Therefore the Lord, the GOD of hosts, will send a wasting disease among his stout warriors; And under his glory a fire will be kindled like a burning flame.

nasb@Isaiah:9:31 @Madmenah has fled. The inhabitants of Gebim have sought refuge.

nasb@Isaiah:10:11 @Then it will happen on that day that the Lord Will again recover the second time with His hand The remnant of His people, who will remain, From Assyria, Egypt, Pathros, Cush, Elam, Shinar, Hamath, And from the islands of the sea.

nasb@Isaiah:12:28 @In the year that King Ahaz died this oracle came-

nasb@Isaiah:12:29" @Do not rejoice, O Philistia, all of you, Because the rod that struck you is broken; For from the serpent's root a viper will come out, And its fruit will be a flying serpent.

nasb@Isaiah:12:31" @Wail, O gate; cry, O city; Melt away, O Philistia, all of you; For smoke comes from the north, And there is no straggler in his ranks.

nasb@Isaiah:13:2 @They have gone up to the temple and to Dibon, even to the high places to weep. Moab wails over Nebo and Medeba; Everyone's head is bald and every beard is cut off.

nasb@Isaiah:13:4 @Heshbon and Elealeh also cry out, Their voice is heard all the way to Jahaz; Therefore the armed men of Moab cry aloud; His soul trembles within him.

nasb@Isaiah:14:4" @Let the outcasts of Moab stay with you; Be a hiding place to them from the destroyer." For the extortioner has come to an end, destruction has ceased, Oppressors have completely disappeared from the land.

nasb@Isaiah:14:9 @Therefore I will weep bitterly for Jazer, for the vine of Sibmah; I will drench you with my tears, O Heshbon and Elealeh; For the shouting over your summer fruits and your harvest has fallen away.

nasb@Isaiah:14:12 @So it will come about when Moab presents himself, When he wearies himself upon his high place And comes to his sanctuary to pray, That he will not prevail.

nasb@Isaiah:14:17 @The oracle concerning Damascus. "Behold, Damascus is about to be removed from being a city And will become a fallen ruin.

nasb@Isaiah:14:4 @Now in that day the glory of Jacob will fade, And the fatness of his flesh will become lean.

nasb@Isaiah:15:2 @Which sends envoys by the sea, Even in papyrus vessels on the surface of the waters. Go, swift messengers, to a nation tall and smooth, To a people feared far and wide, A powerful and oppressive nation Whose land the rivers divide.

nasb@Isaiah:15:4 @For thus the LORD has told me, "I will look from My dwelling place quietly Like dazzling heat in the sunshine, Like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest."

nasb@Isaiah:15:5 @For before the harvest, as soon as the bud blossoms And the flower becomes a ripening grape, Then He will cut off the sprigs with pruning knives And remove and cut away the spreading branches.

nasb@Isaiah:15:6 @They will be left together for mountain birds of prey, And for the beasts of the earth; And the birds of prey will spend the summer feeding on them, And all the beasts of the earth will spend harvest time on them.

nasb@Isaiah:15:19 @The oracle concerning Egypt. Behold, the LORD is riding on a swift cloud and is about to come to Egypt; The idols of Egypt will tremble at His presence, And the heart of the Egyptians will melt within them.

nasb@Isaiah:15:3" @Then the spirit of the Egyptians will be demoralized within them; And I will confound their strategy, So that they will resort to idols and ghosts of the dead And to mediums and spiritists.

nasb@Isaiah:15:7 @The bulrushes by the Nile, by the edge of the Nile And all the sown fields by the Nile Will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.

nasb@Isaiah:15:8 @And the fishermen will lament, And all those who cast a line into the Nile will mourn, And those who spread nets on the waters will pine away.

nasb@Isaiah:15:11 @The princes of Zoan are mere fools; The advice of Pharaoh's wisest advisers has become stupid. How can you men say to Pharaoh, "I am a son of the wise, a son of ancient kings"?

nasb@Isaiah:15:12 @Well then, where are your wise men? Please let them tell you, And let them understand what the LORD of hosts Has purposed against Egypt.

nasb@Isaiah:15:13 @The princes of Zoan have acted foolishly, The princes of Memphis are deluded; Those who are the cornerstone of her tribes Have led Egypt astray.

nasb@Isaiah:15:16 @In that day the Egyptians will become like women, and they will tremble and be in dread because of the waving of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which He is going to wave over them.

nasb@Isaiah:15:17 @The land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt; everyone to whom it is mentioned will be in dread of it, because of the purpose of the LORD of hosts which He is purposing against them.

nasb@Isaiah:15:20 @It will become a sign and a witness to the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to the LORD because of oppressors, and He will send them a Savior and a Champion, and He will deliver them.

nasb@Isaiah:15:23 @In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrians will come into Egypt and the Egyptians into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.

nasb@Isaiah:16:1 @In the year that the commander came to Ashdod, when Sargon the king of Assyria sent him and he fought against Ashdod and captured it,

nasb@Isaiah:16:2 @at that time the LORD spoke through Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, "Go and loosen the sackcloth from your hips and take your shoes off your feet." And he did so, going naked and barefoot.

nasb@Isaiah:16:4 @so the king of Assyria will lead away the captives of Egypt and the exiles of Cush, young and old, naked and barefoot with buttocks uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

nasb@Isaiah:16:5" @Then they will be dismayed and ashamed because of Cush their hope and Egypt their boast.

nasb@Isaiah:17:1 @The oracle concerning the wilderness of the sea. As windstorms in the Negev sweep on, It comes from the wilderness, from a terrifying land.

nasb@Isaiah:17:2 @A harsh vision has been shown to me; The treacherous one still deals treacherously, and the destroyer still destroys. Go up, Elam, lay siege, Media; I have made an end of all the groaning she has caused.

nasb@Isaiah:17:3 @For this reason my loins are full of anguish; Pains have seized me like the pains of a woman in labor. I am so bewildered I cannot hear, so terrified I cannot see.

nasb@Isaiah:17:4 @My mind reels, horror overwhelms me; The twilight I longed for has been turned for me into trembling.

nasb@Isaiah:18:6 @Elam took up the quiver With the chariots, infantry and horsemen; And Kir uncovered the shield.

nasb@Isaiah:18:7 @Then your choicest valleys were full of chariots, And the horsemen took up fixed positions at the gate.

nasb@Isaiah:37:2 @He has made My mouth like a sharp sword, In the shadow of His hand He has concealed Me; And He has also made Me a select arrow, He has hidden Me in His quiver.

nasb@Isaiah:37:3 @He said to Me, " You are My Servant, Israel, In Whom I will show My glory."

nasb@Isaiah:37:4 @But I said, "I have toiled in vain, I have spent My strength for nothing and vanity; Yet surely the justice due to Me is with the LORD, And My reward with My God."

nasb@Isaiah:37:51" @ Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, Who seek the LORD- Look to the rock from which you were hewn And to the quarry from which you were dug.

nasb@Isaiah:37:3 @Indeed, the LORD will comfort Zion; He will comfort all her waste places. And her wilderness He will make like Eden, And her desert like the garden of the LORD; Joy and gladness will be found in her, Thanksgiving and sound of a melody.

nasb@Isaiah:37:4" @ Pay attention to Me, O My people, And give ear to Me, O My nation; For a law will go forth from Me, And I will set My justice for a light of the peoples.

nasb@Isaiah:37:5" @My righteousness is near, My salvation has gone forth, And My arms will judge the peoples; The coastlands will wait for Me, And for My arm they will wait expectantly.

nasb@Isaiah:37:6" @ Lift up your eyes to the sky, Then look to the earth beneath; For the sky will vanish like smoke, And the earth will wear out like a garment And its inhabitants will die in like manner; But My salvation will be forever, And My righteousness will not wane.

nasb@Isaiah:37:7" @ Listen to Me, you who know righteousness, A people in whose heart is My law; Do not fear the reproach of man, Nor be dismayed at their revilings.

nasb@Isaiah:37:8" @For the moth will eat them like a garment, And the grub will eat them like wool. But My righteousness will be forever, And My salvation to all generations."

nasb@Isaiah:39:3 @He was despised and forsaken of men, A man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; And like one from whom men hide their face He was despised, and we did not esteem Him.

nasb@Isaiah:39:4 @Surely our griefs He Himself bore, And our sorrows He carried; Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken, Smitten of God, and afflicted.

nasb@Isaiah:39:8 @By oppression and judgment He was taken away; And as for His generation, who considered That He was cut off out of the land of the living For the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?

nasb@Isaiah:39:9 @His grave was assigned with wicked men, Yet He was with a rich man in His death, Because He had done no violence, Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.

nasb@Isaiah:39:8" @In an outburst of anger I hid My face from you for a moment, But with everlasting lovingkindness I will have compassion on you," Says the LORD your Redeemer.

nasb@Isaiah:39:9" @For this is like the days of Noah to Me, When I swore that the waters of Noah Would not flood the earth again; So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you Nor will I rebuke you.

nasb@Jeremiah:5:5 @in order to confirm the oath which I swore to your forefathers, to give them a land flowing with milk and honey, as it is this day."'" Then I said, " Amen, O LORD."

nasb@Jeremiah:5:6 @And the LORD said to me, " Proclaim all these words in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, ' Hear the words of this covenant and do them.

nasb@Jeremiah:5:13" @For your gods are as many as your cities, O Judah; and as many as the streets of Jerusalem are the altars you have set up to the shameful thing, altars to burn incense to Baal.

nasb@Jeremiah:5:14" @Therefore do not pray for this people, nor lift up a cry or prayer for them; for I will not listen when they call to Me because of their disaster.

nasb@Jeremiah:5:16 @The LORD called your name, "A green olive tree, beautiful in fruit and form"; With the noise of a great tumult He has kindled fire on it, And its branches are worthless.

nasb@Jeremiah:5:17 @The LORD of hosts, who planted you, has pronounced evil against you because of the evil of the house of Israel and of the house of Judah, which they have done to provoke Me by offering up sacrifices to Baal.

nasb@Jeremiah:5:22 @therefore, thus says the LORD of hosts, "Behold, I am about to punish them! The young men will die by the sword, their sons and daughters will die by famine;

nasb@Jeremiah:6:3 @But You know me, O LORD; You see me; And You examine my heart's attitude toward You. Drag them off like sheep for the slaughter And set them apart for a day of carnage!

nasb@Jeremiah:18:16 @But King Zedekiah swore to Jeremiah in secret saying, "As the LORD lives, who made this life for us, surely I will not put you to death nor will I give you over to the hand of these men who are seeking your life."

nasb@Jeremiah:18:19 @Then King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, "I dread the Jews who have gone over to the Chaldeans, for they may give me over into their hand and they will abuse me."

nasb@Jeremiah:18:21" @But if you keep refusing to go out, this is the word which the LORD has shown me-

nasb@Jeremiah:18:22 @'Then behold, all of the women who have been left in the palace of the king of Judah are going to be brought out to the officers of the king of Babylon; and those women will say, "Your close friends Have misled and overpowered you; While your feet were sunk in the mire, They turned back."

nasb@Jeremiah:18:25" @But if the officials hear that I have talked with you and come to you and say to you, 'Tell us now what you said to the king and what the king said to you; do not hide it from us and we will not put you to death,'

nasb@Jeremiah:18:26 @then you are to say to them, 'I was presenting my petition before the king, not to make me return to the house of Jonathan to die there.'"

nasb@Jeremiah:18:27 @Then all the officials came to Jeremiah and questioned him. So he reported to them in accordance with all these words which the king had commanded; and they ceased speaking with him, since the conversation had not been overheard.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:1 @Now when Jerusalem was captured in the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon and all his army came to Jerusalem and laid siege to it;

nasb@Jeremiah:19:3 @Then all the officials of the king of Babylon came in and sat down at the Middle Gate- Nergal-sar-ezer, Samgar-nebu, Sar-sekim the Rab-saris, Nergal-sar-ezer the Rab-mag, and all the rest of the officials of the king of Babylon.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:4 @When Zedekiah the king of Judah and all the men of war saw them, they fled and went out of the city at night by way of the king's garden through the gate between the two walls; and he went out toward the Arabah.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:10 @But some of the poorest people who had nothing, Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard left behind in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at that time.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:14 @they even sent and took Jeremiah out of the court of the guardhouse and entrusted him to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him home. So he stayed among the people.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:15 @Now the word of the LORD had come to Jeremiah while he was confined in the court of the guardhouse, saying,

nasb@Jeremiah:19:16" @Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, 'Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "Behold, I am about to bring My words on this city for disaster and not for prosperity; and they will take place before you on that day.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:17" @But I will deliver you on that day," declares the LORD, "and you will not be given into the hand of the men whom you dread.

nasb@Jeremiah:19:18" @For I will certainly rescue you, and you will not fall by the sword; but you will have your own life as booty, because you have trusted in Me," declares the LORD.'"

nasb@Jeremiah:20:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the LORD after Nebuzaradan captain of the bodyguard had released him from Ramah, when he had taken him bound in chains among all the exiles of Jerusalem and Judah who were being exiled to Babylon.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:4" @But now, behold, I am freeing you today from the chains which are on your hands. If you would prefer to come with me to Babylon, come along, and I will look after you; but if you would prefer not to come with me to Babylon, never mind. Look, the whole land is before you; go wherever it seems good and right for you to go."

nasb@Jeremiah:20:7 @Now all the commanders of the forces that were in the field, they and their men, heard that the king of Babylon had appointed Gedaliah the son of Ahikam over the land and that he had put him in charge of the men, women and children, those of the poorest of the land who had not been exiled to Babylon.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:8 @So they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah, along with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, both they and their men.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:9 @Then Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, swore to them and to their men, saying, " Do not be afraid of serving the Chaldeans; stay in the land and serve the king of Babylon, that it may go well with you.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:10" @Now as for me, behold, I am going to stay at Mizpah to stand for you before the Chaldeans who come to us; but as for you, gather in wine and summer fruit and oil and put them in your storage vessels, and live in your cities that you have taken over."

nasb@Jeremiah:20:12 @Then all the Jews returned from all the places to which they had been driven away and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah at Mizpah, and gathered in wine and summer fruit in great abundance.

nasb@Jeremiah:20:13 @Now Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces that were in the field came to Gedaliah at Mizpah

nasb@Jeremiah:20:15 @Then Johanan the son of Kareah spoke secretly to Gedaliah in Mizpah, saying, " Let me go and kill Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and not a man will know! Why should he take your life, so that all the Jews who are gathered to you would be scattered and the remnant of Judah would perish?"

nasb@Jeremiah:21:1 @In the seventh month Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the royal family and one of the chief officers of the king, along with ten men, came to Mizpah to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam. While they were eating bread together there in Mizpah,

nasb@Jeremiah:21:2 @Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the ten men who were with him arose and struck down Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword and put to death the one whom the king of Babylon had appointed over the land.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:3 @Ishmael also struck down all the Jews who were with him, that is with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans who were found there, the men of war.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:5 @that eighty men came from Shechem, from Shiloh, and from Samaria with their beards shaved off and their clothes torn and their bodies gashed, having grain offerings and incense in their hands to bring to the house of the LORD.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:6 @Then Ishmael the son of Nethaniah went out from Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he went; and as he met them, he said to them, "Come to Gedaliah the son of Ahikam!"

nasb@Jeremiah:21:7 @Yet it turned out that as soon as they came inside the city, Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and the men that were with him slaughtered them and cast them into the cistern.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:8 @But ten men who were found among them said to Ishmael, "Do not put us to death; for we have stores of wheat, barley, oil and honey hidden in the field." So he refrained and did not put them to death along with their companions.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:9 @Now as for the cistern where Ishmael had cast all the corpses of the men whom he had struck down because of Gedaliah, it was the one that King Asa had made on account of Baasha, king of Israel; Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with the slain.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:12 @So they took all the men and went to fight with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah and they found him by the great pool that is in Gibeon.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:14 @So all the people whom Ishmael had taken captive from Mizpah turned around and came back, and went to Johanan the son of Kareah.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:15 @But Ishmael the son of Nethaniah escaped from Johanan with eight men and went to the sons of Ammon.

nasb@Jeremiah:21:16 @Then Johanan the son of Kareah and all the commanders of the forces that were with him took from Mizpah all the remnant of the people whom he had recovered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, after he had struck down Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, that is, the men who were soldiers, the women, the children, and the eunuchs, whom he had brought back from Gibeon.

nasb@Jeremiah:22:2 @and said to Jeremiah the prophet, "Please let our petition come before you, and pray for us to the LORD your God, that is for all this remnant; because we are left but a few out of many, as your own eyes now see us,

nasb@Jeremiah:22:5 @Then they said to Jeremiah, "May the LORD be a true and faithful witness against us if we do not act in accordance with the whole message with which the LORD your God will send you to us.

nasb@Jeremiah:22:7 @Now at the end of ten days the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah.

nasb@Jeremiah:22:9 @and said to them, "Thus says the LORD the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your petition before Him-

nasb@Jeremiah:22:17" @So all the men who set their mind to go to Egypt to reside there will die by the sword, by famine and by pestilence; and they will have no survivors or refugees from the calamity that I am going to bring on them."'"

nasb@Jeremiah:22:18 @For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, "As My anger and wrath have been poured out on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so My wrath will be poured out on you when you enter Egypt.

nasb@Jeremiah:22:20 @For you have only deceived yourselves; for it is you who sent me to the LORD your God, saying, "Pray for us to the LORD our God; and whatever the LORD our God says, tell us so, and we will do it."

nasb@Jeremiah:23:8 @Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

nasb@Jeremiah:23:9" @Take some large stones in your hands and hide them in the mortar in the brick terrace which is at the entrance of Pharaoh's palace in Tahpanhes, in the sight of some of the Jews;

nasb@Jeremiah:23:12" @And I shall set fire to the temples of the gods of Egypt, and he will burn them and take them captive. So he will wrap himself with the land of Egypt as a shepherd wraps himself with his garment, and he will depart from there safely.

nasb@Jeremiah:23:44 @The word that came to Jeremiah for all the Jews living in the land of Egypt, those who were living in Migdol, Tahpanhes, Memphis, and the land of Pathros, saying,

nasb@Jeremiah:23:3 @because of their wickedness which they committed so as to provoke Me to anger by continuing to burn sacrifices and to serve other gods whom they had not known, neither they, you, nor your fathers.

nasb@Jeremiah:23:6 @'Therefore My wrath and My anger were poured out and burned in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, so they have become a ruin and a desolation as it is this day.

nasb@Jeremiah:23:15 @Then all the men who were aware that their wives were burning sacrifices to other gods, along with all the women who were standing by, as a large assembly, including all the people who were living in Pathros in the land of Egypt, responded to Jeremiah, saying,

nasb@Jeremiah:25:64 @and say, 'Just so shall Babylon sink down and not rise again because of the calamity that I am going to bring upon her; and they will become exhausted.'" Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:1 @Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned eleven years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hamutal the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:3 @For through the anger of the LORD this came about in Jerusalem and Judah until He cast them out from His presence. And Zedekiah rebelled against the king of Babylon.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:4 @Now it came about in the ninth year of his reign, on the tenth day of the tenth month, that Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came, he and all his army, against Jerusalem, camped against it and built a siege wall all around it.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:7 @Then the city was broken into, and all the men of war fled and went forth from the city at night by way of the gate between the two walls which was by the king's garden, though the Chaldeans were all around the city. And they went by way of the Arabah.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:12 @Now on the tenth day of the fifth month, which was the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan the captain of the bodyguard, who was in the service of the king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:15 @Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard carried away into exile some of the poorest of the people, the rest of the people who were left in the city, the deserters who had deserted to the king of Babylon and the rest of the artisans.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:16 @But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left some of the poorest of the land to be vinedressers and plowmen.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:22 @Now a capital of bronze was on it; and the height of each capital was five cubits, with network and pomegranates upon the capital all around, all of bronze. And the second pillar was like these, including pomegranates.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:23 @There were ninety-six exposed pomegranates; all the pomegranates numbered a hundred on the network all around.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:25 @He also took from the city one official who was overseer of the men of war, and seven of the king's advisers who were found in the city, and the scribe of the commander of the army who mustered the people of the land, and sixty men of the people of the land who were found in the midst of the city.

nasb@Jeremiah:26:31 @Now it came about in the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Jehoiachin king of Judah, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth of the month, that Evil-merodach king of Babylon, in the first year of his reign, showed favor to Jehoiachin king of Judah and brought him out of prison.

nasb@Lamentations:1:7 @In the days of her affliction and homelessness Jerusalem remembers all her precious things That were from the days of old, When her people fell into the hand of the adversary And no one helped her. The adversaries saw her, They mocked at her ruin.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:1 @Now it came about in the thirtieth year, on the fifth day of the fourth month, while I was by the river Chebar among the exiles, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:3 @the word of the LORD came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and there the hand of the LORD came upon him.)

nasb@Ezekiel:1:4 @As I looked, behold, a storm wind was coming from the north, a great cloud with fire flashing forth continually and a bright light around it, and in its midst something like glowing metal in the midst of the fire.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:7 @Their legs were straight and their feet were like a calf's hoof, and they gleamed like burnished bronze.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:13 @In the midst of the living beings there was something that looked like burning coals of fire, like torches darting back and forth among the living beings. The fire was bright, and lightning was flashing from the fire.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:16 @The appearance of the wheels and their workmanship was like sparkling beryl, and all four of them had the same form, their appearance and workmanship being as if one wheel were within another.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:18 @As for their rims they were lofty and awesome, and the rims of all four of them were full of eyes round about.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:22 @Now over the heads of the living beings there was something like an expanse, like the awesome gleam of crystal, spread out over their heads.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:25 @And there came a voice from above the expanse that was over their heads; whenever they stood still, they dropped their wings.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:26 @Now above the expanse that was over their heads there was something resembling a throne, like lapis lazuli in appearance; and on that which resembled a throne, high up, was a figure with the appearance of a man.

nasb@Ezekiel:1:27 @Then I noticed from the appearance of His loins and upward something like glowing metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:1 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet that I may speak with you!"

nasb@Ezekiel:2:2 @As He spoke to me the Spirit entered me and set me on my feet; and I heard Him speaking to me.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:3 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to a rebellious people who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me to this very day.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:9 @Then I looked, and behold, a hand was extended to me; and lo, a scroll was in it.

nasb@Ezekiel:2:10 @When He spread it out before me, it was written on the front and back, and written on it were lamentations, mourning and woe.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:1 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, eat what you find; eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:2 @So I opened my mouth, and He fed me this scroll.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:3 @He said to me, "Son of man, feed your stomach and fill your body with this scroll which I am giving you." Then I ate it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:4 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak with My words to them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:7 @yet the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, since they are not willing to listen to Me. Surely the whole house of Israel is stubborn and obstinate.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:9" @Like emery harder than flint I have made your forehead. Do not be afraid of them or be dismayed before them, though they are a rebellious house."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:10 @Moreover, He said to me, "Son of man, take into your heart all My words which I will speak to you and listen closely.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:12 @Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard a great rumbling sound behind me, "Blessed be the glory of the LORD in His place."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:14 @So the Spirit lifted me up and took me away; and I went embittered in the rage of my spirit, and the hand of the LORD was strong on me.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:15 @Then I came to the exiles who lived beside the river Chebar at Tel-abib, and I sat there seven days where they were living, causing consternation among them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:16 @At the end of seven days the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:3:17" @Son of man, I have appointed you a watchman to the house of Israel; whenever you hear a word from My mouth, warn them from Me.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:20" @Again, when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I place an obstacle before him, he will die; since you have not warned him, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require at your hand.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:22 @The hand of the LORD was on me there, and He said to me, "Get up, go out to the plain, and there I will speak to you."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:24 @The Spirit then entered me and made me stand on my feet, and He spoke with me and said to me, "Go, shut yourself up in your house.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:6" @When you have completed these, you shall lie down a second time, but on your right side and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah; I have assigned it to you for forty days, a day for each year.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:10" @Your food which you eat shall be twenty shekels a day by weight; you shall eat it from time to time.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:11" @The water you drink shall be the sixth part of a hin by measure; you shall drink it from time to time.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:14 @But I said, " Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I have never been defiled; for from my youth until now I have never eaten what died of itself or was torn by beasts, nor has any unclean meat ever entered my mouth."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:15 @Then He said to me, "See, I will give you cow's dung in place of human dung over which you will prepare your bread."

nasb@Ezekiel:3:16 @Moreover, He said to me, "Son of man, behold, I am going to break the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they will eat bread by weight and with anxiety, and drink water by measure and in horror,

nasb@Ezekiel:3:4" @Take again some of them and throw them into the fire and burn them in the fire; from it a fire will spread to all the house of Israel.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:8 @therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, 'Behold, I, even I, am against you, and I will execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:10 @'Therefore, fathers will eat their sons among you, and sons will eat their fathers; for I will execute judgments on you and scatter all your remnant to every wind.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:12 @'One third of you will die by plague or be consumed by famine among you, one third will fall by the sword around you, and one third I will scatter to every wind, and I will unsheathe a sword behind them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:15 @'So it will be a reproach, a reviling, a warning and an object of horror to the nations who surround you when I execute judgments against you in anger, wrath and raging rebukes. I, the LORD, have spoken.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:6 @And the word of the LORD came to me saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:3:4" @So your altars will become desolate and your incense altars will be smashed; and I will make your slain fall in front of your idols.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:6" @In all your dwellings, cities will become waste and the high places will be desolate, that your altars may become waste and desolate, your idols may be broken and brought to an end, your incense altars may be cut down, and your works may be blotted out.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:9" @Then those of you who escape will remember Me among the nations to which they will be carried captive, how I have been hurt by their adulterous hearts which turned away from Me, and by their eyes which played the harlot after their idols; and they will loathe themselves in their own sight for the evils which they have committed, for all their abominations.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:7 @Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:3:6 @'An end is coming; the end has come! It has awakened against you; behold, it has come!

nasb@Ezekiel:3:7 @'Your doom has come to you, O inhabitant of the land. The time has come, the day is near--tumult rather than joyful shouting on the mountains.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:12 @'The time has come, the day has arrived. Let not the buyer rejoice nor the seller mourn; for wrath is against all their multitude.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:15 @'The sword is outside and the plague and the famine are within. He who is in the field will die by the sword; famine and the plague will also consume those in the city.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:17 @'All hands will hang limp and all knees will become like water.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:18 @'They will gird themselves with sackcloth and shuddering will overwhelm them; and shame will be on all faces and baldness on all their heads.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:19 @'They will fling their silver into the streets and their gold will become an abhorrent thing; their silver and their gold will not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:20 @'They transformed the beauty of His ornaments into pride, and they made the images of their abominations and their detestable things with it; therefore I will make it an abhorrent thing to them.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:25 @'When anguish comes, they will seek peace, but there will be none.

nasb@Ezekiel:3:26 @' Disaster will come upon disaster and rumor will be added to rumor; then they will seek a vision from a prophet, but the law will be lost from the priest and counsel from the elders.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:1 @It came about in the sixth year, on the fifth day of the sixth month, as I was sitting in my house with the elders of Judah sitting before me, that the hand of the Lord GOD fell on me there.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:2 @Then I looked, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of a man; from His loins and downward there was the appearance of fire, and from His loins and upward the appearance of brightness, like the appearance of glowing metal.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:3 @He stretched out the form of a hand and caught me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the inner court, where the seat of the idol of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy, was located.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:5 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, raise your eyes now toward the north." So I raised my eyes toward the north, and behold, to the north of the altar gate was this idol of jealousy at the entrance.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:6 @And He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what they are doing, the great abominations which the house of Israel are committing here, so that I would be far from My sanctuary? But yet you will see still greater abominations."

nasb@Ezekiel:4:7 @Then He brought me to the entrance of the court, and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:8 @He said to me, "Son of man, now dig through the wall." So I dug through the wall, and behold, an entrance.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:9 @And He said to me, "Go in and see the wicked abominations that they are committing here."

nasb@Ezekiel:4:12 @Then He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are committing in the dark, each man in the room of his carved images? For they say, ' The LORD does not see us; the LORD has forsaken the land.'"

nasb@Ezekiel:4:13 @And He said to me, "Yet you will see still greater abominations which they are committing."

nasb@Ezekiel:4:14 @Then He brought me to the entrance of the gate of the LORD'S house which was toward the north; and behold, women were sitting there weeping for Tammuz.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:15 @He said to me, "Do you see this, son of man? Yet you will see still greater abominations than these."

nasb@Ezekiel:4:16 @Then He brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house. And behold, at the entrance to the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men with their backs to the temple of the LORD and their faces toward the east; and they were prostrating themselves eastward toward the sun.

nasb@Ezekiel:4:17 @He said to me, "Do you see this, son of man? Is it too light a thing for the house of Judah to commit the abominations which they have committed here, that they have filled the land with violence and provoked Me repeatedly? For behold, they are putting the twig to their nose.

nasb@Ezekiel:5:2 @Behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate which faces north, each with his shattering weapon in his hand; and among them was a certain man clothed in linen with a writing case at his loins. And they went in and stood beside the bronze altar.

nasb@Ezekiel:5:4 @The LORD said to him, "Go through the midst of the city, even through the midst of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the foreheads of the men who sigh and groan over all the abominations which are being committed in its midst."

nasb@Ezekiel:5:6" @Utterly slay old men, young men, maidens, little children, and women, but do not touch any man on whom is the mark; and you shall start from My sanctuary." So they started with the elders who were before the temple.

nasb@Ezekiel:5:9 @Then He said to me, "The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is very, very great, and the land is filled with blood and the city is full of perversion; for they say, 'The LORD has forsaken the land, and the LORD does not see!'

nasb@Ezekiel:5:10" @But as for Me, My eye will have no pity nor will I spare, but I will bring their conduct upon their heads."

nasb@Ezekiel:5:11 @Then behold, the man clothed in linen at whose loins was the writing case reported, saying, "I have done just as You have commanded me."

nasb@Ezekiel:6:1 @Then I looked, and behold, in the expanse that was over the heads of the cherubim something like a sapphire stone, in appearance resembling a throne, appeared above them.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:6 @It came about when He commanded the man clothed in linen, saying, "Take fire from between the whirling wheels, from between the cherubim," he entered and stood beside a wheel.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:7 @Then the cherub stretched out his hand from between the cherubim to the fire which was between the cherubim, took some and put it into the hands of the one clothed in linen, who took it and went out.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:10 @As for their appearance, all four of them had the same likeness, as if one wheel were within another wheel.

nasb@Ezekiel:6:22 @As for the likeness of their faces, they were the same faces whose appearance I had seen by the river Chebar. Each one went straight ahead.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:1 @Moreover, the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the LORD'S house which faced eastward. And behold, there were twenty-five men at the entrance of the gate, and among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:2 @He said to me, "Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity and give evil advice in this city,

nasb@Ezekiel:7:13 @Now it came about as I prophesied, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell on my face and cried out with a loud voice and said, " Alas, Lord GOD! Will You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:14 @Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:7:18" @When they come there, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations from it.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:24 @And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me in a vision by the Spirit of God to the exiles in Chaldea. So the vision that I had seen left me.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:15" @But you trusted in your beauty and played the harlot because of your fame, and you poured out your harlotries on every passer-by who might be willing.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:16" @You took some of your clothes, made for yourself high places of various colors and played the harlot on them, which should never come about nor happen.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:20" @Moreover, you took your sons and daughters whom you had borne to Me and sacrificed them to idols to be devoured. Were your harlotries so small a matter?

nasb@Ezekiel:8:22" @Besides all your abominations and harlotries you did not remember the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare and squirming in your blood.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:23" @Then it came about after all your wickedness ('Woe, woe to you!' declares the Lord GOD),

nasb@Ezekiel:8:26" @You also played the harlot with the Egyptians, your lustful neighbors, and multiplied your harlotry to make Me angry.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:27" @Behold now, I have stretched out My hand against you and diminished your rations. And I delivered you up to the desire of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd conduct.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:29" @You also multiplied your harlotry with the land of merchants, Chaldea, yet even with this you were not satisfied."'"

nasb@Ezekiel:8:33" @Men give gifts to all harlots, but you give your gifts to all your lovers to bribe them to come to you from every direction for your harlotries.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:34" @Thus you are different from those women in your harlotries, in that no one plays the harlot as you do, because you give money and no money is given you; thus you are different."

nasb@Ezekiel:8:38" @Thus I will judge you like women who commit adultery or shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath and jealousy.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:41" @They will burn your houses with fire and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women. Then I will stop you from playing the harlot, and you will also no longer pay your lovers.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:43" @Because you have not remembered the days of your youth but have enraged Me by all these things, behold, I in turn will bring your conduct down on your own head," declares the Lord GOD, "so that you will not commit this lewdness on top of all your other abominations.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:47" @Yet you have not merely walked in their ways or done according to their abominations; but, as if that were too little, you acted more corruptly in all your conduct than they.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:50" @Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them when I saw it.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:52" @Also bear your disgrace in that you have made judgment favorable for your sisters. Because of your sins in which you acted more abominably than they, they are more in the right than you. Yes, be also ashamed and bear your disgrace, in that you made your sisters appear righteous.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:54 @in order that you may bear your humiliation and feel ashamed for all that you have done when you become a consolation to them.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:55" @Your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will return to their former state, and you with your daughters will also return to your former state.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:56" @As the name of your sister Sodom was not heard from your lips in your day of pride,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:57 @before your wickedness was uncovered, so now you have become the reproach of the daughters of Edom and of all who are around her, of the daughters of the Philistines--those surrounding you who despise you.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:60" @Nevertheless, I will remember My covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:61" @Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your sisters, both your older and your younger; and I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of your covenant.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:63 @so that you may remember and be ashamed and never open your mouth anymore because of your humiliation, when I have forgiven you for all that you have done," the Lord GOD declares.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:17 @Now the word of the LORD came to me saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:3 @saying, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "A great eagle with great wings, long pinions and a full plumage of many colors came to Lebanon and took away the top of the cedar.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:4" @He plucked off the topmost of its young twigs and brought it to a land of merchants; he set it in a city of traders.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:5" @He also took some of the seed of the land and planted it in fertile soil. He placed it beside abundant waters; he set it like a willow.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:6" @Then it sprouted and became a low, spreading vine with its branches turned toward him, but its roots remained under it. So it became a vine and yielded shoots and sent out branches.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:8" @It was planted in good soil beside abundant waters, that it might yield branches and bear fruit and become a splendid vine."'

nasb@Ezekiel:8:11 @Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:12" @Say now to the rebellious house, 'Do you not know what these things mean?' Say, 'Behold, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem, took its king and princes and brought them to him in Babylon.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:20" @I will spread My net over him, and he will be caught in My snare. Then I will bring him to Babylon and enter into judgment with him there regarding the unfaithful act which he has committed against Me.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:21" @All the choice men in all his troops will fall by the sword, and the survivors will be scattered to every wind; and you will know that I, the LORD, have spoken."

nasb@Ezekiel:8:23" @On the high mountain of Israel I will plant it, that it may bring forth boughs and bear fruit and become a stately cedar. And birds of every kind will nest under it; they will nest in the shade of its branches.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:18 @Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:2" @ What do you mean by using this proverb concerning the land of Israel, saying, ' The fathers eat the sour grapes, But the children's teeth are set on edge'?

nasb@Ezekiel:8:6 @and does not eat at the mountain shrines or lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, or defile his neighbor's wife or approach a woman during her menstrual period--

nasb@Ezekiel:8:19" @Yet you say, ' Why should the son not bear the punishment for the father's iniquity?' When the son has practiced justice and righteousness and has observed all My statutes and done them, he shall surely live.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:20" @The person who sins will die. The son will not bear the punishment for the father's iniquity, nor will the father bear the punishment for the son's iniquity; the righteousness of the righteous will be upon himself, and the wickedness of the wicked will be upon himself.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:22" @ All his transgressions which he has committed will not be remembered against him; because of his righteousness which he has practiced, he will live.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:24" @But when a righteous man turns away from his righteousness, commits iniquity and does according to all the abominations that a wicked man does, will he live? All his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered for his treachery which he has committed and his sin which he has committed; for them he will die.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:30" @Therefore I will judge you, O house of Israel, each according to his conduct," declares the Lord GOD. " Repent and turn away from all your transgressions, so that iniquity may not become a stumbling block to you.

nasb@Ezekiel:9:1" @As for you, take up a lamentation for the princes of Israel

nasb@Ezekiel:9:3 @'When she brought up one of her cubs, He became a lion, And he learned to tear his prey; He devoured men.

nasb@Ezekiel:9:6 @'And he walked about among the lions; He became a young lion, He learned to tear his prey; He devoured men.

nasb@Ezekiel:9:12 @'But it was plucked up in fury; It was cast down to the ground; And the east wind dried up its fruit. Its strong branch was torn off So that it withered; The fire consumed it.

nasb@Ezekiel:9:14 @'And fire has gone out from its branch; It has consumed its shoots and fruit, So that there is not in it a strong branch, A scepter to rule.'" This is a lamentation, and has become a lamentation.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:1 @Now in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth of the month, certain of the elders of Israel came to inquire of the LORD, and sat before me.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:2 @And the word of the LORD came to me saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:10:3" @Son of man, speak to the elders of Israel and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Do you come to inquire of Me? As I live," declares the Lord GOD, " I will not be inquired of by you."'

nasb@Ezekiel:10:8" @But they rebelled against Me and were not willing to listen to Me; they did not cast away the detestable things of their eyes, nor did they forsake the idols of Egypt. Then I resolved to pour out My wrath on them, to accomplish My anger against them in the midst of the land of Egypt.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:9" @But I acted for the sake of My name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations among whom they lived, in whose sight I made Myself known to them by bringing them out of the land of Egypt.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:11" @I gave them My statutes and informed them of My ordinances, by which, if a man observes them, he will live.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:12" @Also I gave them My sabbaths to be a sign between Me and them, that they might know that I am the LORD who sanctifies them.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:13" @But the house of Israel rebelled against Me in the wilderness. They did not walk in My statutes and they rejected My ordinances, by which, if a man observes them, he will live; and My sabbaths they greatly profaned. Then I resolved to pour out My wrath on them in the wilderness, to annihilate them.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:14" @But I acted for the sake of My name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations, before whose sight I had brought them out.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:20 @' Sanctify My sabbaths; and they shall be a sign between Me and you, that you may know that I am the LORD your God.'

nasb@Ezekiel:10:21" @But the children rebelled against Me; they did not walk in My statutes, nor were they careful to observe My ordinances, by which, if a man observes them, he will live; they profaned My sabbaths. So I resolved to pour out My wrath on them, to accomplish My anger against them in the wilderness.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:22" @But I withdrew My hand and acted for the sake of My name, that it should not be profaned in the sight of the nations in whose sight I had brought them out.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:27" @Therefore, son of man, speak to the house of Israel and say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Yet in this your fathers have blasphemed Me by acting treacherously against Me.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:29" @Then I said to them, 'What is the high place to which you go?' So its name is called Bamah to this day."'

nasb@Ezekiel:10:32" @What comes into your mind will not come about, when you say- 'We will be like the nations, like the tribes of the lands, serving wood and stone.'

nasb@Ezekiel:10:35 @and I will bring you into the wilderness of the peoples, and there I will enter into judgment with you face to face.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:36" @As I entered into judgment with your fathers in the wilderness of the land of Egypt, so I will enter into judgment with you," declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:38 @and I will purge from you the rebels and those who transgress against Me; I will bring them out of the land where they sojourn, but they will not enter the land of Israel. Thus you will know that I am the LORD.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:39" @As for you, O house of Israel," thus says the Lord GOD, " Go, serve everyone his idols; but later you will surely listen to Me, and My holy name you will profane no longer with your gifts and with your idols.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:40" @For on My holy mountain, on the high mountain of Israel," declares the Lord GOD, "there the whole house of Israel, all of them, will serve Me in the land; there I will accept them and there I will seek your contributions and the choicest of your gifts, with all your holy things.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:43" @There you will remember your ways and all your deeds with which you have defiled yourselves; and you will loathe yourselves in your own sight for all the evil things that you have done.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:44" @Then you will know that I am the LORD when I have dealt with you for My name's sake, not according to your evil ways or according to your corrupt deeds, O house of Israel," declares the Lord GOD.'"

nasb@Ezekiel:10:45 @Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:10:47 @and say to the forest of the Negev, 'Hear the word of the LORD- thus says the Lord GOD, "Behold, I am about to kindle a fire in you, and it will consume every green tree in you, as well as every dry tree; the blazing flame will not be quenched and the whole surface from south to north will be burned by it.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:8 @Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:10:14" @You therefore, son of man, prophesy and clap your hands together; and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword for the slain. It is the sword for the great one slain, which surrounds them,

nasb@Ezekiel:10:15 @that their hearts may melt, and many fall at all their gates. I have given the glittering sword. Ah! It is made for striking like lightning, it is wrapped up in readiness for slaughter.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:18 @The word of the LORD came to me saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:10:19" @As for you, son of man, make two ways for the sword of the king of Babylon to come; both of them will go out of one land. And make a signpost; make it at the head of the way to the city.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:24" @Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, 'Because you have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your deeds your sins appear--because you have come to remembrance, you will be seized with the hand.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:22 @Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:10:13" @I saw that she had defiled herself; they both took the same way.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:14" @So she increased her harlotries. And she saw men portrayed on the wall, images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,

nasb@Ezekiel:10:27" @ Nor do they lie beside the fallen heroes of the uncircumcised, who went down to Sheol with their weapons of war and whose swords were laid under their heads; but the punishment for their iniquity rested on their bones, though the terror of these heroes was once in the land of the living.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:30" @There also are the chiefs of the north, all of them, and all the Sidonians, who in spite of the terror resulting from their might, in shame went down with the slain. So they lay down uncircumcised with those slain by the sword and bore their disgrace with those who go down to the pit.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:33 @And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:10:7" @Now as for you, son of man, I have appointed you a watchman for the house of Israel; so you will hear a message from My mouth and give them warning from Me.

nasb@Ezekiel:10:13" @When I say to the righteous he will surely live, and he so trusts in his righteousness that he commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds will be remembered; but in that same iniquity of his which he has committed he will die.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:17 @Then he brought me into the outer court, and behold, there were chambers and a pavement made for the court all around; thirty chambers faced the pavement.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:18 @The pavement (that is, the lower pavement) was by the side of the gates, corresponding to the length of the gates.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:19 @Then he measured the width from the front of the lower gate to the front of the exterior of the inner court, a hundred cubits on the east and on the north.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:20 @As for the gate of the outer court which faced the north, he measured its length and its width.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:21 @It had three guardrooms on each side; and its side pillars and its porches had the same measurement as the first gate. Its length was fifty cubits and the width twenty-five cubits.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:42 @For the burnt offering there were four tables of hewn stone, a cubit and a half long, a cubit and a half wide and one cubit high, on which they lay the instruments with which they slaughter the burnt offering and the sacrifice.

nasb@Ezekiel:14:45 @He said to me, "This is the chamber which faces toward the south, intended for the priests who keep charge of the temple;

nasb@Ezekiel:14:46 @but the chamber which faces toward the north is for the priests who keep charge of the altar. These are the sons of Zadok, who from the sons of Levi come near to the LORD to minister to Him."

nasb@Ezekiel:14:47 @He measured the court, a perfect square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide; and the altar was in front of the temple.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:1 @Then he brought me to the nave and measured the side pillars; six cubits wide on each side was the width of the side pillar.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:2 @The width of the entrance was ten cubits and the sides of the entrance were five cubits on each side. And he measured the length of the nave, forty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:3 @Then he went inside and measured each side pillar of the doorway, two cubits, and the doorway, six cubits high; and the width of the doorway, seven cubits.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:4 @He measured its length, twenty cubits, and the width, twenty cubits, before the nave; and he said to me, "This is the most holy place."

nasb@Ezekiel:15:17 @over the entrance, and to the inner house, and on the outside, and on all the wall all around inside and outside, by measurement.

nasb@Ezekiel:15:22 @The altar was of wood, three cubits high and its length two cubits; its corners, its base and its sides were of wood. And he said to me, "This is the table that is before the LORD."

nasb@Ezekiel:16:1 @Then he brought me out into the outer court, the way toward the north; and he brought me to the chamber which was opposite the separate area and opposite the building toward the north.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:3 @Opposite the twenty cubits which belonged to the inner court, and opposite the pavement which belonged to the outer court, was gallery corresponding to gallery in three stories.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:11 @The way in front of them was like the appearance of the chambers which were on the north, according to their length so was their width, and all their exits were both according to their arrangements and openings.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:13 @Then he said to me, "The north chambers and the south chambers, which are opposite the separate area, they are the holy chambers where the priests who are near to the LORD shall eat the most holy things.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:14" @When the priests enter, then they shall not go out into the outer court from the sanctuary without laying there their garments in which they minister, for they are holy. They shall put on other garments; then they shall approach that which is for the people."

nasb@Ezekiel:16:15 @Now when he had finished measuring the inner house, he brought me out by the way of the gate which faced toward the east and measured it all around.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:17 @He measured on the north side five hundred reeds by the measuring reed.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:18 @On the south side he measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:19 @He turned to the west side and measured five hundred reeds with the measuring reed.

nasb@Ezekiel:16:20 @He measured it on the four sides; it had a wall all around, the length five hundred and the width five hundred, to divide between the holy and the profane.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:1 @Then he led me to the gate, the gate facing toward the east;

nasb@Ezekiel:17:3 @And it was like the appearance of the vision which I saw, like the vision which I saw when He came to destroy the city. And the visions were like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:4 @And the glory of the LORD came into the house by the way of the gate facing toward the east.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:5 @And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:6 @Then I heard one speaking to me from the house, while a man was standing beside me.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:7 @He said to me, "Son of man, this is the place of My throne and the place of the soles of My feet, where I will dwell among the sons of Israel forever.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:8 @by setting their threshold by My threshold and their door post beside My door post, with only the wall between Me and them. And they have defiled My holy name by their abominations which they have committed. So I have consumed them in My anger.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:9" @Now let them put away their harlotry and the corpses of their kings far from Me; and I will dwell among them forever.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:10" @As for you, son of man, describe the temple to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities; and let them measure the plan.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:11" @If they are ashamed of all that they have done, make known to them the design of the house, its structure, its exits, its entrances, all its designs, all its statutes, and all its laws. And write it in their sight, so that they may observe its whole design and all its statutes and do them.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:13" @And these are the measurements of the altar by cubits (the cubit being a cubit and a handbreadth)- the base shall be a cubit and the width a cubit, and its border on its edge round about one span; and this shall be the height of the base of the altar.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:18 @And He said to me, " Son of man, thus says the Lord GOD, 'These are the statutes for the altar on the day it is built, to offer burnt offerings on it and to sprinkle blood on it.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:19 @'You shall give to the Levitical priests who are from the offspring of Zadok, who draw near to Me to minister to Me,' declares the Lord GOD, 'a young bull for a sin offering.

nasb@Ezekiel:17:26 @'For seven days they shall make atonement for the altar and purify it; so shall they consecrate it.

nasb@Ezekiel:18:1 @Then He brought me back by the way of the outer gate of the sanctuary, which faces the east; and it was shut.

nasb@Ezekiel:18:2 @The LORD said to me, "This gate shall be shut; it shall not be opened, and no one shall enter by it, for the LORD God of Israel has entered by it; therefore it shall be shut.

nasb@Ezekiel:18:4 @Then He brought me by way of the north gate to the front of the house; and I looked, and behold, the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD, and I fell on my face.

nasb@Ezekiel:18:12" @Because they ministered to them before their idols and became a stumbling block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have sworn against them," declares the Lord GOD, "that they shall bear the punishment for their iniquity.

nasb@Ezekiel:18:13" @And they shall not come near to Me to serve as a priest to Me, nor come near to any of My holy things, to the things that are most holy; but they will bear their shame and their abominations which they have committed.

nasb@Ezekiel:18:15" @But the Levitical priests, the sons of Zadok, who kept charge of My sanctuary when the sons of Israel went astray from Me, shall come near to Me to minister to Me; and they shall stand before Me to offer Me the fat and the blood," declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:18:19 @Then he brought me through the entrance, which was at the side of the gate, into the holy chambers for the priests, which faced north; and behold, there was a place at the extreme rear toward the west.

nasb@Ezekiel:18:20 @He said to me, "This is the place where the priests shall boil the guilt offering and the sin offering and where they shall bake the grain offering, in order that they may not bring them out into the outer court to transmit holiness to the people."

nasb@Daniel:1:7 @Then the commander of the officials assigned new names to them; and to Daniel he assigned the name Belteshazzar, to Hananiah Shadrach, to Mishael Meshach and to Azariah Abed-nego.

nasb@Daniel:1:10 @and the commander of the officials said to Daniel, "I am afraid of my lord the king, who has appointed your food and your drink; for why should he see your faces looking more haggard than the youths who are your own age? Then you would make me forfeit my head to the king."

nasb@Daniel:1:20 @As for every matter of wisdom and understanding about which the king consulted them, he found them ten times better than all the magicians and conjurers who were in all his realm.

nasb@Daniel:2:2 @Then the king gave orders to call in the magicians, the conjurers, the sorcerers and the Chaldeans to tell the king his dreams. So they came in and stood before the king.

nasb@Daniel:2:5 @The king replied to the Chaldeans, "The command from me is firm- if you do not make known to me the dream and its interpretation, you will be torn limb from limb and your houses will be made a rubbish heap.

nasb@Daniel:2:6" @But if you declare the dream and its interpretation, you will receive from me gifts and a reward and great honor; therefore declare to me the dream and its interpretation."

nasb@Daniel:2:7 @They answered a second time and said, "Let the king tell the dream to his servants, and we will declare the interpretation."

nasb@Daniel:2:9 @that if you do not make the dream known to me, there is only one decree for you. For you have agreed together to speak lying and corrupt words before me until the situation is changed; therefore tell me the dream, that I may know that you can declare to me its interpretation."

nasb@Daniel:2:12 @Because of this the king became indignant and very furious and gave orders to destroy all the wise men of Babylon.

nasb@Daniel:2:13 @So the decree went forth that the wise men should be slain; and they looked for Daniel and his friends to kill them.

nasb@Daniel:2:15 @he said to Arioch, the king's commander, "For what reason is the decree from the king so urgent?" Then Arioch informed Daniel about the matter.

nasb@Daniel:2:16 @So Daniel went in and requested of the king that he would give him time, in order that he might declare the interpretation to the king.

nasb@Daniel:2:17 @Then Daniel went to his house and informed his friends, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, about the matter,

nasb@Daniel:2:18 @so that they might request compassion from the God of heaven concerning this mystery, so that Daniel and his friends would not be destroyed with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

nasb@Daniel:2:38 @and wherever the sons of men dwell, or the beasts of the field, or the birds of the sky, He has given them into your hand and has caused you to rule over them all. You are the head of gold.

nasb@Daniel:2:43" @And in that you saw the iron mixed with common clay, they will combine with one another in the seed of men; but they will not adhere to one another, even as iron does not combine with pottery.

nasb@Daniel:2:48 @Then the king promoted Daniel and gave him many great gifts, and he made him ruler over the whole province of Babylon and chief prefect over all the wise men of Babylon.

nasb@Daniel:2:49 @And Daniel made request of the king, and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego over the administration of the province of Babylon, while Daniel was at the king's court.

nasb@Daniel:3:2 @Then Nebuchadnezzar the king sent word to assemble the satraps, the prefects and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates and all the rulers of the provinces to come to the dedication of the image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

nasb@Daniel:3:4 @Then the herald loudly proclaimed- "To you the command is given, O peoples, nations and men of every language,

nasb@Daniel:3:5 @that at the moment you hear the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe and all kinds of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king has set up.

nasb@Daniel:3:6" @But whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire."

nasb@Daniel:3:7 @Therefore at that time, when all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe and all kinds of music, all the peoples, nations and men of every language fell down and worshiped the golden image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had set up.

nasb@Daniel:3:8 @For this reason at that time certain Chaldeans came forward and brought charges against the Jews.

nasb@Daniel:3:12" @There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the administration of the province of Babylon, namely Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. These men, O king, have disregarded you; they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up."

nasb@Daniel:3:13 @Then Nebuchadnezzar in rage and anger gave orders to bring Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego; then these men were brought before the king.

nasb@Daniel:3:14 @Nebuchadnezzar responded and said to them, "Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, that you do not serve my gods or worship the golden image that I have set up?

nasb@Daniel:3:15" @Now if you are ready, at the moment you hear the sound of the horn, flute, lyre, trigon, psaltery and bagpipe and all kinds of music, to fall down and worship the image that I have made, very well. But if you do not worship, you will immediately be cast into the midst of a furnace of blazing fire; and what god is there who can deliver you out of my hands?"

nasb@Daniel:3:16 @Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego replied to the king, "O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to give you an answer concerning this matter.

nasb@Daniel:3:19 @Then Nebuchadnezzar was filled with wrath, and his facial expression was altered toward Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. He answered by giving orders to heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated.

nasb@Daniel:3:20 @He commanded certain valiant warriors who were in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego in order to cast them into the furnace of blazing fire.

nasb@Daniel:3:21 @Then these men were tied up in their trousers, their coats, their caps and their other clothes, and were cast into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire.

nasb@Daniel:3:22 @For this reason, because the king's command was urgent and the furnace had been made extremely hot, the flame of the fire slew those men who carried up Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego.

nasb@Daniel:3:23 @But these three men, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, fell into the midst of the furnace of blazing fire still tied up.

nasb@Daniel:3:24 @Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and stood up in haste; he said to his high officials, "Was it not three men we cast bound into the midst of the fire?" They replied to the king, "Certainly, O king."

nasb@Daniel:3:25 @He said, "Look! I see four men loosed and walking about in the midst of the fire without harm, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!"

nasb@Daniel:3:26 @Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the door of the furnace of blazing fire; he responded and said, "Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, come out, you servants of the Most High God, and come here!" Then Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego came out of the midst of the fire.

nasb@Daniel:3:27 @The satraps, the prefects, the governors and the king's high officials gathered around and saw in regard to these men that the fire had no effect on the bodies of these men nor was the hair of their head singed, nor were their trousers damaged, nor had the smell of fire even come upon them.

nasb@Daniel:3:28 @Nebuchadnezzar responded and said, "Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, who has sent His angel and delivered His servants who put their trust in Him, violating the king's command, and yielded up their bodies so as not to serve or worship any god except their own God.

nasb@Daniel:3:29" @Therefore I make a decree that any people, nation or tongue that speaks anything offensive against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego shall be torn limb from limb and their houses reduced to a rubbish heap, inasmuch as there is no other god who is able to deliver in this way."

nasb@Daniel:3:30 @Then the king caused Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego to prosper in the province of Babylon.

nasb@Daniel:3:4 @Nebuchadnezzar the king to all the peoples, nations, and men of every language that live in all the earth- "May your peace abound!

nasb@Daniel:3:2" @It has seemed good to me to declare the signs and wonders which the Most High God has done for me.

nasb@Daniel:3:5" @I saw a dream and it made me fearful; and these fantasies as I lay on my bed and the visions in my mind kept alarming me.

nasb@Daniel:3:6" @So I gave orders to bring into my presence all the wise men of Babylon, that they might make known to me the interpretation of the dream.

nasb@Daniel:3:7" @Then the magicians, the conjurers, the Chaldeans and the diviners came in and I related the dream to them, but they could not make its interpretation known to me.

nasb@Daniel:3:8" @But finally Daniel came in before me, whose name is Belteshazzar according to the name of my god, and in whom is a spirit of the holy gods; and I related the dream to him, saying,

nasb@Daniel:3:9 @'O Belteshazzar, chief of the magicians, since I know that a spirit of the holy gods is in you and no mystery baffles you, tell me the visions of my dream which I have seen, along with its interpretation.

nasb@Daniel:3:11 @'The tree grew large and became strong And its height reached to the sky, And it was visible to the end of the whole earth.

nasb@Daniel:3:16" @Let his mind be changed from that of a man And let a beast's mind be given to him, And let seven periods of time pass over him.

nasb@Daniel:3:17" @This sentence is by the decree of the angelic watchers And the decision is a command of the holy ones, In order that the living may know That the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind, And bestows it on whom He wishes And sets over it the lowliest of men."

nasb@Daniel:3:18 @'This is the dream which I, King Nebuchadnezzar, have seen. Now you, Belteshazzar, tell me its interpretation, inasmuch as none of the wise men of my kingdom is able to make known to me the interpretation; but you are able, for a spirit of the holy gods is in you.'

nasb@Daniel:3:19" @Then Daniel, whose name is Belteshazzar, was appalled for a while as his thoughts alarmed him. The king responded and said, 'Belteshazzar, do not let the dream or its interpretation alarm you.' Belteshazzar replied, ' My lord, if only the dream applied to those who hate you and its interpretation to your adversaries!

nasb@Daniel:3:20 @'The tree that you saw, which became large and grew strong, whose height reached to the sky and was visible to all the earth

nasb@Daniel:3:22 @it is you, O king; for you have become great and grown strong, and your majesty has become great and reached to the sky and your dominion to the end of the earth.

nasb@Daniel:3:23 @'In that the king saw an angelic watcher, a holy one, descending from heaven and saying, " Chop down the tree and destroy it; yet leave the stump with its roots in the ground, but with a band of iron and bronze around it in the new grass of the field, and let him be drenched with the dew of heaven, and let him share with the beasts of the field until seven periods of time pass over him,"

nasb@Daniel:3:24 @this is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the Most High, which has come upon my lord the king-

nasb@Daniel:3:25 @that you be driven away from mankind and your dwelling place be with the beasts of the field, and you be given grass to eat like cattle and be drenched with the dew of heaven; and seven periods of time will pass over you, until you recognize that the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes.

nasb@Daniel:3:27 @'Therefore, O king, may my advice be pleasing to you- break away now from your sins by doing righteousness and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the poor, in case there may be a prolonging of your prosperity.'

nasb@Daniel:3:31" @While the word was in the king's mouth, a voice came from heaven, saying, 'King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared- sovereignty has been removed from you,

nasb@Daniel:3:32 @and you will be driven away from mankind, and your dwelling place will be with the beasts of the field. You will be given grass to eat like cattle, and seven periods of time will pass over you until you recognize that the Most High is ruler over the realm of mankind and bestows it on whomever He wishes.'

nasb@Daniel:3:33" @Immediately the word concerning Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled; and he was driven away from mankind and began eating grass like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair had grown like eagles' feathers and his nails like birds' claws.

nasb@Daniel:3:34" @But at the end of that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever; For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom endures from generation to generation.

nasb@Daniel:3:36" @At that time my reason returned to me. And my majesty and splendor were restored to me for the glory of my kingdom, and my counselors and my nobles began seeking me out; so I was reestablished in my sovereignty, and surpassing greatness was added to me.

nasb@Daniel:4:5 @Suddenly the fingers of a man's hand emerged and began writing opposite the lampstand on the plaster of the wall of the king's palace, and the king saw the back of the hand that did the writing.

nasb@Daniel:4:6 @Then the king's face grew pale and his thoughts alarmed him, and his hip joints went slack and his knees began knocking together.

nasb@Daniel:4:7 @The king called aloud to bring in the conjurers, the Chaldeans and the diviners. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, "Any man who can read this inscription and explain its interpretation to me shall be clothed with purple and have a necklace of gold around his neck, and have authority as third ruler in the kingdom."

nasb@Daniel:4:8 @Then all the king's wise men came in, but they could not read the inscription or make known its interpretation to the king.

nasb@Daniel:4:9 @Then King Belshazzar was greatly alarmed, his face grew even paler, and his nobles were perplexed.

nasb@Daniel:4:12" @This was because an extraordinary spirit, knowledge and insight, interpretation of dreams, explanation of enigmas and solving of difficult problems were found in this Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar. Let Daniel now be summoned and he will declare the interpretation."

nasb@Daniel:4:15" @Just now the wise men and the conjurers were brought in before me that they might read this inscription and make its interpretation known to me, but they could not declare the interpretation of the message.

nasb@Daniel:4:16" @But I personally have heard about you, that you are able to give interpretations and solve difficult problems. Now if you are able to read the inscription and make its interpretation known to me, you will be clothed with purple and wear a necklace of gold around your neck, and you will have authority as the third ruler in the kingdom."

nasb@Daniel:4:17 @Then Daniel answered and said before the king, "Keep your gifts for yourself or give your rewards to someone else; however, I will read the inscription to the king and make the interpretation known to him.

nasb@Daniel:4:19" @Because of the grandeur which He bestowed on him, all the peoples, nations and men of every language feared and trembled before him; whomever he wished he killed and whomever he wished he spared alive; and whomever he wished he elevated and whomever he wished he humbled.

nasb@Daniel:4:20" @But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit became so proud that he behaved arrogantly, he was deposed from his royal throne and his glory was taken away from him.

nasb@Daniel:4:21" @He was also driven away from mankind, and his heart was made like that of beasts, and his dwelling place was with the wild donkeys. He was given grass to eat like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until he recognized that the Most High God is ruler over the realm of mankind and that He sets over it whomever He wishes.

nasb@Daniel:4:25" @Now this is the inscription that was written out- 'MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.'

nasb@Daniel:4:26" @This is the interpretation of the message- 'MENE'--God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it.

nasb@Daniel:4:28" @ 'PERES'--your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians."

nasb@Daniel:4:30 @That same night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain.

nasb@Daniel:4:31 @So Darius the Mede received the kingdom at about the age of sixty-two.

nasb@Daniel:5:1 @It seemed good to Darius to appoint 120 satraps over the kingdom, that they would be in charge of the whole kingdom,

nasb@Daniel:5:4 @Then the commissioners and satraps began trying to find a ground of accusation against Daniel in regard to government affairs; but they could find no ground of accusation or evidence of corruption, inasmuch as he was faithful, and no negligence or corruption was to be found in him.

nasb@Daniel:5:5 @Then these men said, "We will not find any ground of accusation against this Daniel unless we find it against him with regard to the law of his God."

nasb@Daniel:5:6 @Then these commissioners and satraps came by agreement to the king and spoke to him as follows- "King Darius, live forever!

nasb@Daniel:5:8" @Now, O king, establish the injunction and sign the document so that it may not be changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked."

nasb@Daniel:5:9 @Therefore King Darius signed the document, that is, the injunction.

nasb@Daniel:5:10 @Now when Daniel knew that the document was signed, he entered his house (now in his roof chamber he had windows open toward Jerusalem); and he continued kneeling on his knees three times a day, praying and giving thanks before his God, as he had been doing previously.

nasb@Daniel:5:11 @Then these men came by agreement and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.

nasb@Daniel:5:12 @Then they approached and spoke before the king about the king's injunction, "Did you not sign an injunction that any man who makes a petition to any god or man besides you, O king, for thirty days, is to be cast into the lions' den?" The king replied, "The statement is true, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which may not be revoked."

nasb@Daniel:5:13 @Then they answered and spoke before the king, " Daniel, who is one of the exiles from Judah, pays no attention to you, O king, or to the injunction which you signed, but keeps making his petition three times a day."

nasb@Daniel:5:14 @Then, as soon as the king heard this statement, he was deeply distressed and set his mind on delivering Daniel; and even until sunset he kept exerting himself to rescue him.

nasb@Daniel:5:15 @Then these men came by agreement to the king and said to the king, "Recognize, O king, that it is a law of the Medes and Persians that no injunction or statute which the king establishes may be changed."

nasb@Daniel:5:18 @Then the king went off to his palace and spent the night fasting, and no entertainment was brought before him; and his sleep fled from him.

nasb@Daniel:5:20 @When he had come near the den to Daniel, he cried out with a troubled voice. The king spoke and said to Daniel, "Daniel, servant of the living God, has your God, whom you constantly serve, been able to deliver you from the lions?"

nasb@Daniel:5:22" @My God sent His angel and shut the lions' mouths and they have not harmed me, inasmuch as I was found innocent before Him; and also toward you, O king, I have committed no crime."

nasb@Daniel:5:24 @The king then gave orders, and they brought those men who had maliciously accused Daniel, and they cast them, their children and their wives into the lions' den; and they had not reached the bottom of the den before the lions overpowered them and crushed all their bones.

nasb@Daniel:5:25 @Then Darius the king wrote to all the peoples, nations and men of every language who were living in all the land- " May your peace abound!

nasb@Daniel:5:26" @I make a decree that in all the dominion of my kingdom men are to fear and tremble before the God of Daniel; For He is the living God and enduring forever, And His kingdom is one which will not be destroyed, And His dominion will be forever.

nasb@Daniel:6:5" @And behold, another beast, a second one, resembling a bear. And it was raised up on one side, and three ribs were in its mouth between its teeth; and thus they said to it, 'Arise, devour much meat!'

nasb@Daniel:6:7" @After this I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong; and it had large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.

nasb@Daniel:6:8" @While I was contemplating the horns, behold, another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were pulled out by the roots before it; and behold, this horn possessed eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth uttering great boasts.

nasb@Daniel:6:9" @I kept looking Until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days took His seat; His vesture was like white snow And the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with flames, Its wheels were a burning fire.

nasb@Daniel:6:12" @As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but an extension of life was granted to them for an appointed period of time.

nasb@Daniel:6:13" @I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him.

nasb@Daniel:6:14" @And to Him was given dominion, Glory and a kingdom, That all the peoples, nations and men of every language Might serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed.

nasb@Daniel:6:15" @As for me, Daniel, my spirit was distressed within me, and the visions in my mind kept alarming me.

nasb@Daniel:6:16" @I approached one of those who were standing by and began asking him the exact meaning of all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things-

nasb@Daniel:6:18 @'But the saints of the Highest One will receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, for all ages to come.'

nasb@Daniel:6:19" @Then I desired to know the exact meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its claws of bronze, and which devoured, crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet,

nasb@Daniel:6:20 @and the meaning of the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three of them fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts and which was larger in appearance than its associates.

nasb@Daniel:6:22 @until the Ancient of Days came and judgment was passed in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom.

nasb@Daniel:6:25 @'He will speak out against the Most High and wear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make alterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a time, times, and half a time.

nasb@Daniel:6:26 @'But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be taken away, annihilated and destroyed forever.

nasb@Daniel:6:28" @At this point the revelation ended. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts were greatly alarming me and my face grew pale, but I kept the matter to myself."

nasb@Daniel:7:1 @In the third year of the reign of Belshazzar the king a vision appeared to me, Daniel, subsequent to the one which appeared to me previously.

nasb@Daniel:7:6 @He came up to the ram that had the two horns, which I had seen standing in front of the canal, and rushed at him in his mighty wrath.

nasb@Daniel:7:7 @I saw him come beside the ram, and he was enraged at him; and he struck the ram and shattered his two horns, and the ram had no strength to withstand him. So he hurled him to the ground and trampled on him, and there was none to rescue the ram from his power.

nasb@Daniel:7:8 @Then the male goat magnified himself exceedingly. But as soon as he was mighty, the large horn was broken; and in its place there came up four conspicuous horns toward the four winds of heaven.

nasb@Daniel:7:9 @Out of one of them came forth a rather small horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Beautiful Land.

nasb@Daniel:7:10 @It grew up to the host of heaven and caused some of the host and some of the stars to fall to the earth, and it trampled them down.

nasb@Daniel:7:14 @He said to me, "For 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the holy place will be properly restored."

nasb@Daniel:7:15 @When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it; and behold, standing before me was one who looked like a man.

nasb@Daniel:7:17 @So he came near to where I was standing, and when he came I was frightened and fell on my face; but he said to me, "Son of man, understand that the vision pertains to the time of the end."

nasb@Daniel:7:18 @Now while he was talking with me, I sank into a deep sleep with my face to the ground; but he touched me and made me stand upright.

nasb@Daniel:7:19 @He said, "Behold, I am going to let you know what will occur at the final period of the indignation, for it pertains to the appointed time of the end.

nasb@Daniel:7:20" @The ram which you saw with the two horns represents the kings of Media and Persia.

nasb@Daniel:7:24" @His power will be mighty, but not by his own power, And he will destroy to an extraordinary degree And prosper and perform his will; He will destroy mighty men and the holy people.

nasb@Daniel:8:1 @In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of Median descent, who was made king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans--

nasb@Daniel:8:2 @in the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, observed in the books the number of the years which was revealed as the word of the LORD to Jeremiah the prophet for the completion of the desolations of Jerusalem, namely, seventy years.

nasb@Daniel:8:4 @I prayed to the LORD my God and confessed and said, "Alas, O Lord, the great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and lovingkindness for those who love Him and keep His commandments,

nasb@Daniel:8:5 @we have sinned, committed iniquity, acted wickedly and rebelled, even turning aside from Your commandments and ordinances.

nasb@Daniel:8:6" @Moreover, we have not listened to Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our kings, our princes, our fathers and all the people of the land.

nasb@Daniel:8:7" @ Righteousness belongs to You, O Lord, but to us open shame, as it is this day--to the men of Judah, the inhabitants of Jerusalem and all Israel, those who are nearby and those who are far away in all the countries to which You have driven them, because of their unfaithful deeds which they have committed against You.

nasb@Daniel:8:8" @Open shame belongs to us, O Lord, to our kings, our princes and our fathers, because we have sinned against You.

nasb@Daniel:8:12" @Thus He has confirmed His words which He had spoken against us and against our rulers who ruled us, to bring on us great calamity; for under the whole heaven there has not been done anything like what was done to Jerusalem.

nasb@Daniel:8:13" @As it is written in the law of Moses, all this calamity has come on us; yet we have not sought the favor of the LORD our God by turning from our iniquity and giving attention to Your truth.

nasb@Daniel:8:15" @And now, O Lord our God, who have brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand and have made a name for Yourself, as it is this day--we have sinned, we have been wicked.

nasb@Daniel:8:16" @O Lord, in accordance with all Your righteous acts, let now Your anger and Your wrath turn away from Your city Jerusalem, Your holy mountain; for because of our sins and the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and Your people have become a reproach to all those around us.

nasb@Daniel:8:18" @O my God, incline Your ear and hear! Open Your eyes and see our desolations and the city which is called by Your name; for we are not presenting our supplications before You on account of any merits of our own, but on account of Your great compassion.

nasb@Daniel:8:19" @O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and take action! For Your own sake, O my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people are called by Your name."

nasb@Daniel:8:21 @while I was still speaking in prayer, then the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision previously, came to me in my extreme weariness about the time of the evening offering.

nasb@Daniel:8:22 @He gave me instruction and talked with me and said, "O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you insight with understanding.

nasb@Daniel:8:23" @At the beginning of your supplications the command was issued, and I have come to tell you, for you are highly esteemed; so give heed to the message and gain understanding of the vision.

nasb@Daniel:8:24" @Seventy weeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to make atonement for iniquity, to bring in everlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place.

nasb@Daniel:8:25" @So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a decree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until Messiah the Prince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress.

nasb@Daniel:8:26" @Then after the sixty-two weeks the Messiah will be cut off and have nothing, and the people of the prince who is to come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. And its end will come with a flood; even to the end there will be war; desolations are determined.

nasb@Daniel:8:27" @And he will make a firm covenant with the many for one week, but in the middle of the week he will put a stop to sacrifice and grain offering; and on the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate, even until a complete destruction, one that is decreed, is poured out on the one who makes desolate."

nasb@Daniel:9:1 @In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, who was named Belteshazzar; and the message was true and one of great conflict, but he understood the message and had an understanding of the vision.

nasb@Daniel:9:3 @I did not eat any tasty food, nor did meat or wine enter my mouth, nor did I use any ointment at all until the entire three weeks were completed.

nasb@Daniel:9:7 @Now I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, while the men who were with me did not see the vision; nevertheless, a great dread fell on them, and they ran away to hide themselves.

nasb@Daniel:9:8 @So I was left alone and saw this great vision; yet no strength was left in me, for my natural color turned to a deathly pallor, and I retained no strength.

nasb@Daniel:9:10 @Then behold, a hand touched me and set me trembling on my hands and knees.

nasb@Daniel:9:11 @He said to me, "O Daniel, man of high esteem, understand the words that I am about to tell you and stand upright, for I have now been sent to you." And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood up trembling.

nasb@Daniel:9:12 @Then he said to me, " Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words.

nasb@Daniel:9:13" @But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-one days; then behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left there with the kings of Persia.

nasb@Daniel:9:14" @Now I have come to give you an understanding of what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision pertains to the days yet future."

nasb@Daniel:9:15 @When he had spoken to me according to these words, I turned my face toward the ground and became speechless.

nasb@Daniel:9:16 @And behold, one who resembled a human being was touching my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who was standing before me, "O my lord, as a result of the vision anguish has come upon me, and I have retained no strength.

nasb@Daniel:9:17" @For how can such a servant of my lord talk with such as my lord? As for me, there remains just now no strength in me, nor has any breath been left in me."

nasb@Daniel:9:18 @Then this one with human appearance touched me again and strengthened me.

nasb@Daniel:9:19 @He said, "O man of high esteem, do not be afraid. Peace be with you; take courage and be courageous!" Now as soon as he spoke to me, I received strength and said, "May my lord speak, for you have strengthened me."

nasb@Daniel:9:20 @Then he said, "Do you understand why I came to you? But I shall now return to fight against the prince of Persia; so I am going forth, and behold, the prince of Greece is about to come.

nasb@Daniel:9:21" @However, I will tell you what is inscribed in the writing of truth. Yet there is no one who stands firmly with me against these forces except Michael your prince.

nasb@Daniel:9:11" @In the first year of Darius the Mede, I arose to be an encouragement and a protection for him.

nasb@Daniel:9:2" @And now I will tell you the truth. Behold, three more kings are going to arise in Persia. Then a fourth will gain far more riches than all of them; as soon as he becomes strong through his riches, he will arouse the whole empire against the realm of Greece.

nasb@Daniel:9:6" @After some years they will form an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the South will come to the king of the North to carry out a peaceful arrangement. But she will not retain her position of power, nor will he remain with his power, but she will be given up, along with those who brought her in and the one who sired her as well as he who supported her in those times.

nasb@Daniel:9:7" @But one of the descendants of her line will arise in his place, and he will come against their army and enter the fortress of the king of the North, and he will deal with them and display great strength.

nasb@Daniel:9:8" @Also their gods with their metal images and their precious vessels of silver and gold he will take into captivity to Egypt, and he on his part will refrain from attacking the king of the North for some years.

nasb@Daniel:9:11" @The king of the South will be enraged and go forth and fight with the king of the North. Then the latter will raise a great multitude, but that multitude will be given into the hand of the former.

nasb@Daniel:9:13" @For the king of the North will again raise a greater multitude than the former, and after an interval of some years he will press on with a great army and much equipment.

nasb@Daniel:9:14" @Now in those times many will rise up against the king of the South; the violent ones among your people will also lift themselves up in order to fulfill the vision, but they will fall down.

nasb@Daniel:9:15" @Then the king of the North will come, cast up a siege ramp and capture a well-fortified city; and the forces of the South will not stand their ground, not even their choicest troops, for there will be no strength to make a stand.

nasb@Daniel:9:16" @But he who comes against him will do as he pleases, and no one will be able to withstand him; he will also stay for a time in the Beautiful Land, with destruction in his hand.

nasb@Daniel:9:17" @He will set his face to come with the power of his whole kingdom, bringing with him a proposal of peace which he will put into effect; he will also give him the daughter of women to ruin it. But she will not take a stand for him or be on his side.

nasb@Daniel:9:21" @In his place a despicable person will arise, on whom the honor of kingship has not been conferred, but he will come in a time of tranquility and seize the kingdom by intrigue.

nasb@Daniel:9:24" @In a time of tranquility he will enter the richest parts of the realm, and he will accomplish what his fathers never did, nor his ancestors; he will distribute plunder, booty and possessions among them, and he will devise his schemes against strongholds, but only for a time.

nasb@Daniel:9:25" @He will stir up his strength and courage against the king of the South with a large army; so the king of the South will mobilize an extremely large and mighty army for war; but he will not stand, for schemes will be devised against him.

nasb@Daniel:9:27" @As for both kings, their hearts will be intent on evil, and they will speak lies to each other at the same table; but it will not succeed, for the end is still to come at the appointed time.

nasb@Daniel:9:29" @At the appointed time he will return and come into the South, but this last time it will not turn out the way it did before.

nasb@Daniel:9:30" @For ships of Kittim will come against him; therefore he will be disheartened and will return and become enraged at the holy covenant and take action; so he will come back and show regard for those who forsake the holy covenant.

nasb@Daniel:9:33" @ Those who have insight among the people will give understanding to the many; yet they will fall by sword and by flame, by captivity and by plunder for many days.

nasb@Daniel:9:35" @Some of those who have insight will fall, in order to refine, purge and make them pure until the end time; because it is still to come at the appointed time.

nasb@Daniel:9:37" @He will show no regard for the gods of his fathers or for the desire of women, nor will he show regard for any other god; for he will magnify himself above them all.

nasb@Daniel:9:40" @At the end time the king of the South will collide with him, and the king of the North will storm against him with chariots, with horsemen and with many ships; and he will enter countries, overflow them and pass through.

nasb@Daniel:9:45" @He will pitch the tents of his royal pavilion between the seas and the beautiful Holy Mountain; yet he will come to his end, and no one will help him.

nasb@Daniel:9:12" @Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.

nasb@Daniel:9:4" @But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase."

nasb@Daniel:9:7 @I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all these events will be completed.

nasb@Daniel:9:8 @As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, "My lord, what will be the outcome of these events?"

nasb@Hosea:1:1 @The word of the LORD which came to Hosea the son of Beeri, during the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and during the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.

nasb@Hosea:1:3 @So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son.

nasb@Hosea:1:4 @And the LORD said to him, "Name him Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will punish the house of Jehu for the bloodshed of Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel.

nasb@Hosea:1:6 @Then she conceived again and gave birth to a daughter. And the LORD said to him, "Name her Lo-ruhamah, for I will no longer have compassion on the house of Israel, that I would ever forgive them.

nasb@Hosea:1:7" @But I will have compassion on the house of Judah and deliver them by the LORD their God, and will not deliver them by bow, sword, battle, horses or horsemen."

nasb@Hosea:1:9 @And the LORD said, "Name him Lo-ammi, for you are not My people and I am not your God."

nasb@Hosea:1:10 @Yet the number of the sons of Israel Will be like the sand of the sea, Which cannot be measured or numbered; And in the place Where it is said to them, "You are not My people," It will be said to them, "You are the sons of the living God."

nasb@Hosea:2:5" @For their mother has played the harlot; She who conceived them has acted shamefully. For she said, ' I will go after my lovers, Who give me my bread and my water, My wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.'

nasb@Hosea:2:7" @She will pursue her lovers, but she will not overtake them; And she will seek them, but will not find them. Then she will say, ' I will go back to my first husband, For it was better for me then than now!'

nasb@Hosea:2:9" @Therefore, I will take back My grain at harvest time And My new wine in its season. I will also take away My wool and My flax Given to cover her nakedness.

nasb@Hosea:2:12" @I will destroy her vines and fig trees, Of which she said, 'These are my wages Which my lovers have given me.' And I will make them a forest, And the beasts of the field will devour them.

nasb@Hosea:2:13" @I will punish her for the days of the Baals When she used to offer sacrifices to them And adorn herself with her earrings and jewelry, And follow her lovers, so that she forgot Me," declares the LORD.

nasb@Hosea:2:15" @Then I will give her her vineyards from there, And the valley of Achor as a door of hope. And she will sing there as in the days of her youth, As in the day when she came up from the land of Egypt.

nasb@Hosea:2:16" @It will come about in that day," declares the LORD, "That you will call Me Ishi And will no longer call Me Baali.

nasb@Hosea:2:17" @For I will remove the names of the Baals from her mouth, So that they will be mentioned by their names no more.

nasb@Hosea:2:19" @I will betroth you to Me forever; Yes, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness and in justice, In lovingkindness and in compassion,

nasb@Hosea:2:20 @And I will betroth you to Me in faithfulness. Then you will know the LORD.

nasb@Hosea:3:1 @Then the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is loved by her husband, yet an adulteress, even as the LORD loves the sons of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes."

nasb@Hosea:3:2 @So I bought her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a half of barley.

nasb@Hosea:3:3 @Then I said to her, "You shall stay with me for many days. You shall not play the harlot, nor shall you have a man; so I will also be toward you."

nasb@Hosea:3:5 @Afterward the sons of Israel will return and seek the LORD their God and David their king; and they will come trembling to the LORD and to His goodness in the last days.

nasb@Hosea:4:7 @The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me; I will change their glory into shame.

nasb@Hosea:4:14 @I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot Or your brides when they commit adultery, For the men themselves go apart with harlots And offer sacrifices with temple prostitutes; So the people without understanding are ruined.

nasb@Hosea:4:15 @Though you, Israel, play the harlot, Do not let Judah become guilty; Also do not go to Gilgal, Or go up to Beth-aven And take the oath- "As the LORD lives!"

nasb@Hosea:4:18 @Their liquor gone, They play the harlot continually; Their rulers dearly love shame.

nasb@Hosea:4:19 @The wind wraps them in its wings, And they will be ashamed because of their sacrifices.

nasb@Hosea:5:1 @Hear this, O priests! Give heed, O house of Israel! Listen, O house of the king! For the judgment applies to you, For you have been a snare at Mizpah And a net spread out on Tabor.

nasb@Hosea:5:3 @I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from Me; For now, O Ephraim, you have played the harlot, Israel has defiled itself.

nasb@Hosea:5:9 @Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke; Among the tribes of Israel I declare what is sure.

nasb@Hosea:5:10 @The princes of Judah have become like those who move a boundary; On them I will pour out My wrath like water.

nasb@Hosea:5:11 @Ephraim is oppressed, crushed in judgment, Because he was determined to follow man's command.

nasb@Hosea:5:15 @I will go away and return to My place Until they acknowledge their guilt and seek My face; In their affliction they will earnestly seek Me.

nasb@Hosea:5:6" @ Come, let us return to the LORD. For He has torn us, but He will heal us; He has wounded us, but He will bandage us.

nasb@Hosea:5:3" @So let us know, let us press on to know the LORD. His going forth is as certain as the dawn; And He will come to us like the rain, Like the spring rain watering the earth."

nasb@Hosea:5:5 @Therefore I have hewn them in pieces by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth; And the judgments on you are like the light that goes forth.

nasb@Hosea:5:7 @But like Adam they have transgressed the covenant; There they have dealt treacherously against Me.

nasb@Hosea:5:9 @And as raiders wait for a man, So a band of priests murder on the way to Shechem; Surely they have committed crime.

nasb@Hosea:6:2 @And they do not consider in their hearts That I remember all their wickedness. Now their deeds are all around them; They are before My face.

nasb@Hosea:6:5 @On the day of our king, the princes became sick with the heat of wine; He stretched out his hand with scoffers,

nasb@Hosea:6:7 @All of them are hot like an oven, And they consume their rulers; All their kings have fallen. None of them calls on Me.

nasb@Hosea:6:8 @Ephraim mixes himself with the nations; Ephraim has become a cake not turned.

nasb@Hosea:6:11 @So Ephraim has become like a silly dove, without sense; They call to Egypt, they go to Assyria.

nasb@Hosea:6:13 @Woe to them, for they have strayed from Me! Destruction is theirs, for they have rebelled against Me! I would redeem them, but they speak lies against Me.

nasb@Hosea:6:14 @And they do not cry to Me from their heart When they wail on their beds; For the sake of grain and new wine they assemble themselves, They turn away from Me.

nasb@Hosea:6:15 @Although I trained and strengthened their arms, Yet they devise evil against Me.

nasb@Hosea:7:1 @Put the trumpet to your lips! Like an eagle the enemy comes against the house of the LORD, Because they have transgressed My covenant And rebelled against My law.

nasb@Hosea:7:2 @They cry out to Me, "My God, we of Israel know You!"

nasb@Hosea:7:4 @They have set up kings, but not by Me; They have appointed princes, but I did not know it. With their silver and gold they have made idols for themselves, That they might be cut off.

nasb@Hosea:7:11 @Since Ephraim has multiplied altars for sin, They have become altars of sinning for him.

nasb@Hosea:7:13 @As for My sacrificial gifts, They sacrifice the flesh and eat it, But the LORD has taken no delight in them. Now He will remember their iniquity, And punish them for their sins; They will return to Egypt.

nasb@Hosea:7:14 @For Israel has forgotten his Maker and built palaces; And Judah has multiplied fortified cities, But I will send a fire on its cities that it may consume its palatial dwellings.

nasb@Hosea:8:6 @For behold, they will go because of destruction; Egypt will gather them up, Memphis will bury them. Weeds will take over their treasures of silver; Thorns will be in their tents.

nasb@Hosea:8:7 @The days of punishment have come, The days of retribution have come; Let Israel know this! The prophet is a fool, The inspired man is demented, Because of the grossness of your iniquity, And because your hostility is so great.

nasb@Hosea:8:9 @They have gone deep in depravity As in the days of Gibeah; He will remember their iniquity, He will punish their sins.

nasb@Hosea:8:10 @I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness; I saw your forefathers as the earliest fruit on the fig tree in its first season. But they came to Baal-peor and devoted themselves to shame, And they became as detestable as that which they loved.

nasb@Hosea:8:13 @Ephraim, as I have seen, Is planted in a pleasant meadow like Tyre; But Ephraim will bring out his children for slaughter.

nasb@Hosea:8:15 @All their evil is at Gilgal; Indeed, I came to hate them there! Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of My house! I will love them no more; All their princes are rebels.

nasb@Hosea:9:4 @They speak mere words, With worthless oaths they make covenants; And judgment sprouts like poisonous weeds in the furrows of the field.

nasb@Hosea:9:6 @The thing itself will be carried to Assyria As tribute to King Jareb; Ephraim will be seized with shame And Israel will be ashamed of its own counsel.

nasb@Hosea:9:11 @Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh, But I will come over her fair neck with a yoke; I will harness Ephraim, Judah will plow, Jacob will harrow for himself.

nasb@Hosea:9:12 @Sow with a view to righteousness, Reap in accordance with kindness; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the LORD Until He comes to rain righteousness on you.

nasb@Hosea:9:13 @You have plowed wickedness, you have reaped injustice, You have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your way, in your numerous warriors,

nasb@Hosea:10:4 @I led them with cords of a man, with bonds of love, And I became to them as one who lifts the yoke from their jaws; And I bent down and fed them.

nasb@Hosea:10:5 @They will not return to the land of Egypt; But Assyria--he will be their king Because they refused to return to Me.

nasb@Hosea:10:6 @The sword will whirl against their cities, And will demolish their gate bars And consume them because of their counsels.

nasb@Hosea:10:7 @So My people are bent on turning from Me. Though they call them to the One on high, None at all exalts Him.

nasb@Hosea:10:8 @How can I give you up, O Ephraim? How can I surrender you, O Israel? How can I make you like Admah? How can I treat you like Zeboiim? My heart is turned over within Me, All My compassions are kindled.

nasb@Hosea:10:9 @I will not execute My fierce anger; I will not destroy Ephraim again. For I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst, And I will not come in wrath.

nasb@Hosea:10:10 @They will walk after the LORD, He will roar like a lion; Indeed He will roar And His sons will come trembling from the west.

nasb@Hosea:10:11 @They will come trembling like birds from Egypt And like doves from the land of Assyria; And I will settle them in their houses, declares the LORD.

nasb@Hosea:10:12 @Ephraim surrounds Me with lies And the house of Israel with deceit; Judah is also unruly against God, Even against the Holy One who is faithful.

nasb@Hosea:11:5 @Even the LORD, the God of hosts, The LORD is His name.

nasb@Hosea:11:7 @A merchant, in whose hands are false balances, He loves to oppress.

nasb@Hosea:11:8 @And Ephraim said, "Surely I have become rich, I have found wealth for myself; In all my labors they will find in me No iniquity, which would be sin."

nasb@Hosea:11:10 @I have also spoken to the prophets, And I gave numerous visions, And through the prophets I gave parables.

nasb@Hosea:12:2 @And now they sin more and more, And make for themselves molten images, Idols skillfully made from their silver, All of them the work of craftsmen. They say of them, "Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves!"

nasb@Hosea:12:4 @Yet I have been the LORD your God Since the land of Egypt; And you were not to know any god except Me, For there is no savior besides Me.

nasb@Hosea:12:6 @As they had their pasture, they became satisfied, And being satisfied, their heart became proud; Therefore they forgot Me.

nasb@Hosea:12:9 @It is your destruction, O Israel, That you are against Me, against your help.

nasb@Hosea:12:10 @Where now is your king That he may save you in all your cities, And your judges of whom you requested, "Give me a king and princes"?

nasb@Hosea:12:13 @The pains of childbirth come upon him; He is not a wise son, For it is not the time that he should delay at the opening of the womb.

nasb@Hosea:12:15 @Though he flourishes among the reeds, An east wind will come, The wind of the LORD coming up from the wilderness; And his fountain will become dry And his spring will be dried up; It will plunder his treasury of every precious article.

nasb@Hosea:12:16 @Samaria will be held guilty, For she has rebelled against her God. They will fall by the sword, Their little ones will be dashed in pieces, And their pregnant women will be ripped open.

nasb@Hosea:13:3" @Assyria will not save us, We will not ride on horses; Nor will we say again, ' Our god,' To the work of our hands; For in You the orphan finds mercy."

nasb@Joel:1:1 @The word of the LORD that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel-

nasb@Joel:1:7 @It has made my vine a waste And my fig tree splinters. It has stripped them bare and cast them away; Their branches have become white.

nasb@Joel:1:11 @Be ashamed, O farmers, Wail, O vinedressers, For the wheat and the barley; Because the harvest of the field is destroyed.

nasb@Joel:1:12 @The vine dries up And the fig tree fails; The pomegranate, the palm also, and the apple tree, All the trees of the field dry up. Indeed, rejoicing dries up From the sons of men.

nasb@Joel:1:13 @Gird yourselves with sackcloth And lament, O priests; Wail, O ministers of the altar! Come, spend the night in sackcloth O ministers of my God, For the grain offering and the drink offering Are withheld from the house of your God.

nasb@Joel:1:15 @Alas for the day! For the day of the LORD is near, And it will come as destruction from the Almighty.

nasb@Joel:1:19 @To You, O LORD, I cry; For fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness And the flame has burned up all the trees of the field.

nasb@Joel:2:3 @A fire consumes before them And behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them But a desolate wilderness behind them, And nothing at all escapes them.

nasb@Joel:2:5 @With a noise as of chariots They leap on the tops of the mountains, Like the crackling of a flame of fire consuming the stubble, Like a mighty people arranged for battle.

nasb@Amos:3:13 @For behold, He who forms mountains and creates the wind And declares to man what are His thoughts, He who makes dawn into darkness And treads on the high places of the earth, The LORD God of hosts is His name.

nasb@Amos:4:4 @For thus says the LORD to the house of Israel, " Seek Me that you may live.

nasb@Amos:4:5" @But do not resort to Bethel And do not come to Gilgal, Nor cross over to Beersheba; For Gilgal will certainly go into captivity And Bethel will come to trouble.

nasb@Amos:4:6" @ Seek the LORD that you may live, Or He will break forth like a fire, O house of Joseph, And it will consume with none to quench it for Bethel,

nasb@Amos:4:8 @He who made the Pleiades and Orion And changes deep darkness into morning, Who also darkens day into night, Who calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the surface of the earth, The LORD is His name.

nasb@Amos:4:9 @It is He who flashes forth with destruction upon the strong, So that destruction comes upon the fortress.

nasb@Amos:4:13 @Therefore at such a time the prudent person keeps silent, for it is an evil time.

nasb@Amos:4:16 @Therefore thus says the LORD God of hosts, the Lord, "There is wailing in all the plazas, And in all the streets they say, 'Alas! Alas!' They also call the farmer to mourning And professional mourners to lamentation.

nasb@Amos:4:19 @As when a man flees from a lion And a bear meets him, Or goes home, leans his hand against the wall And a snake bites him.

nasb@Amos:4:22" @Even though you offer up to Me burnt offerings and your grain offerings, I will not accept them; And I will not even look at the peace offerings of your fatlings.

nasb@Amos:4:23" @Take away from Me the noise of your songs; I will not even listen to the sound of your harps.

nasb@Amos:4:25" @ Did you present Me with sacrifices and grain offerings in the wilderness for forty years, O house of Israel?

nasb@Amos:4:27" @Therefore, I will make you go into exile beyond Damascus," says the LORD, whose name is the God of hosts.

nasb@Amos:5:1 @Woe to those who are at ease in Zion And to those who feel secure in the mountain of Samaria, The distinguished men of the foremost of nations, To whom the house of Israel comes.

nasb@Amos:5:9 @And it will be, if ten men are left in one house, they will die.

nasb@Amos:5:10 @Then one's uncle, or his undertaker, will lift him up to carry out his bones from the house, and he will say to the one who is in the innermost part of the house, "Is anyone else with you?" And that one will say, "No one." Then he will answer, " Keep quiet. For the name of the LORD is not to be mentioned."

nasb@Amos:5:11 @For behold, the LORD is going to command that the great house be smashed to pieces and the small house to fragments.

nasb@Amos:6:1 @Thus the Lord GOD showed me, and behold, He was forming a locust-swarm when the spring crop began to sprout. And behold, the spring crop was after the king's mowing.

nasb@Amos:6:2 @And it came about, when it had finished eating the vegetation of the land, that I said, " Lord GOD, please pardon! How can Jacob stand, For he is small?"

nasb@Amos:6:4 @Thus the Lord GOD showed me, and behold, the Lord GOD was calling to contend with them by fire, and it consumed the great deep and began to consume the farm land.

nasb@Amos:6:7 @Thus He showed me, and behold, the Lord was standing by a vertical wall with a plumb line in His hand.

nasb@Amos:6:8 @The LORD said to me, " What do you see, Amos?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then the Lord said, "Behold I am about to put a plumb line In the midst of My people Israel. I will spare them no longer.

nasb@Amos:6:15" @But the LORD took me from following the flock and the LORD said to me, 'Go prophesy to My people Israel.'

nasb@Amos:6:17" @Therefore, thus says the LORD, 'Your wife will become a harlot in the city, your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword, your land will be parceled up by a measuring line and you yourself will die upon unclean soil. Moreover, Israel will certainly go from its land into exile.'"

nasb@Amos:7:1 @Thus the Lord GOD showed me, and behold, there was a basket of summer fruit.

nasb@Amos:7:2 @He said, "What do you see, Amos?" And I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then the LORD said to me, "The end has come for My people Israel. I will spare them no longer.

nasb@Amos:7:9" @It will come about in that day," declares the Lord GOD, "That I will make the sun go down at noon And make the earth dark in broad daylight.

nasb@Amos:7:10" @Then I will turn your festivals into mourning And all your songs into lamentation; And I will bring sackcloth on everyone's loins And baldness on every head. And I will make it like a time of mourning for an only son, And the end of it will be like a bitter day.

nasb@Amos:7:13" @In that day the beautiful virgins And the young men will faint from thirst.

nasb@Amos:7:3" @Though they hide on the summit of Carmel, I will search them out and take them from there; And though they conceal themselves from My sight on the floor of the sea, From there I will command the serpent and it will bite them.

nasb@Amos:7:5 @The Lord GOD of hosts, The One who touches the land so that it melts, And all those who dwell in it mourn, And all of it rises up like the Nile And subsides like the Nile of Egypt;

nasb@Amos:7:6 @The One who builds His upper chambers in the heavens And has founded His vaulted dome over the earth, He who calls for the waters of the sea And pours them out on the face of the earth, The LORD is His name.

nasb@Amos:7:7" @Are you not as the sons of Ethiopia to Me, O sons of Israel?" declares the LORD. "Have I not brought up Israel from the land of Egypt, And the Philistines from Caphtor and the Arameans from Kir?

nasb@Amos:7:12 @That they may possess the remnant of Edom And all the nations who are called by My name," Declares the LORD who does this.

nasb@Obadiah:0:3" @The arrogance of your heart has deceived you, You who live in the clefts of the rock, In the loftiness of your dwelling place, Who say in your heart, ' Who will bring me down to earth?'

nasb@Obadiah:0:5" @If thieves came to you, If robbers by night-- O how you will be ruined!-- Would they not steal only until they had enough? If grape gatherers came to you, Would they not leave some gleanings?

nasb@Obadiah:0:7" @All the men allied with you Will send you forth to the border, And the men at peace with you Will deceive you and overpower you. They who eat your bread Will set an ambush for you. (There is no understanding in him.)

nasb@Obadiah:0:8" @Will I not on that day," declares the LORD, " Destroy wise men from Edom And understanding from the mountain of Esau?

nasb@Obadiah:0:9" @Then your mighty men will be dismayed, O Teman, So that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.

nasb@Obadiah:0:10" @Because of violence to your brother Jacob, You will be covered with shame, And you will be cut off forever.

nasb@Obadiah:0:16" @Because just as you drank on My holy mountain, All the nations will drink continually. They will drink and swallow And become as if they had never existed.

nasb@Obadiah:0:18" @Then the house of Jacob will be a fire And the house of Joseph a flame; But the house of Esau will be as stubble. And they will set them on fire and consume them, So that there will be no survivor of the house of Esau," For the LORD has spoken.

nasb@Jonah:0:1 @The word of the LORD came to Jonah the son of Amittai saying,

nasb@Jonah:0:2" @Arise, go to Nineveh the great city and cry against it, for their wickedness has come up before Me."

nasb@Jonah:0:5 @Then the sailors became afraid and every man cried to his god, and they threw the cargo which was in the ship into the sea to lighten it for them. But Jonah had gone below into the hold of the ship, lain down and fallen sound asleep.

nasb@Jonah:0:7 @Each man said to his mate, "Come, let us cast lots so we may learn on whose account this calamity has struck us." So they cast lots and the lot fell on Jonah.

nasb@Jonah:0:8 @Then they said to him, " Tell us, now! On whose account has this calamity struck us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? From what people are you?"

nasb@Jonah:0:10 @Then the men became extremely frightened and they said to him, "How could you do this?" For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of the LORD, because he had told them.

nasb@Jonah:0:11 @So they said to him, "What should we do to you that the sea may become calm for us?"--for the sea was becoming increasingly stormy.

nasb@Jonah:0:12 @He said to them, "Pick me up and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will become calm for you, for I know that on account of me this great storm has come upon you."

nasb@Jonah:0:13 @However, the men rowed desperately to return to land but they could not, for the sea was becoming even stormier against them.

nasb@Jonah:0:16 @Then the men feared the LORD greatly, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows.

nasb@Jonah:1:2 @and he said, "I called out of my distress to the LORD, And He answered me. I cried for help from the depth of Sheol; You heard my voice.

nasb@Jonah:1:3" @For You had cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the current engulfed me. All Your breakers and billows passed over me.

nasb@Jonah:1:5" @ Water encompassed me to the point of death. The great deep engulfed me, Weeds were wrapped around my head.

nasb@Jonah:1:6" @I descended to the roots of the mountains. The earth with its bars was around me forever, But You have brought up my life from the pit, O LORD my God.

nasb@Jonah:1:7" @While I was fainting away, I remembered the LORD, And my prayer came to You, Into Your holy temple.

nasb@Jonah:1:3 @Now the word of the LORD came to Jonah the second time, saying,

nasb@Jonah:1:8" @But both man and beast must be covered with sackcloth; and let men call on God earnestly that each may turn from his wicked way and from the violence which is in his hands.

nasb@Jonah:2:1 @But it greatly displeased Jonah and he became angry.

nasb@Jonah:2:3" @Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for death is better to me than life."

nasb@Jonah:2:6 @So the LORD God appointed a plant and it grew up over Jonah to be a shade over his head to deliver him from his discomfort. And Jonah was extremely happy about the plant.

nasb@Jonah:2:7 @But God appointed a worm when dawn came the next day and it attacked the plant and it withered.

nasb@Jonah:2:8 @When the sun came up God appointed a scorching east wind, and the sun beat down on Jonah's head so that he became faint and begged with all his soul to die, saying, " Death is better to me than life."

nasb@Jonah:2:10 @Then the LORD said, "You had compassion on the plant for which you did not work and which you did not cause to grow, which came up overnight and perished overnight.

nasb@Micah:1:1 @The word of the LORD which came to Micah of Moresheth in the days of Jotham, Ahaz and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.

nasb@Micah:1:3 @For behold, the LORD is coming forth from His place. He will come down and tread on the high places of the earth.

nasb@Micah:1:4 @The mountains will melt under Him And the valleys will be split, Like wax before the fire, Like water poured down a steep place.

nasb@Micah:1:8 @Because of this I must lament and wail, I must go barefoot and naked; I must make a lament like the jackals And a mourning like the ostriches.

nasb@Micah:1:9 @For her wound is incurable, For it has come to Judah; It has reached the gate of my people, Even to Jerusalem.

nasb@Micah:1:11 @Go on your way, inhabitant of Shaphir, in shameful nakedness. The inhabitant of Zaanan does not escape. The lamentation of Beth-ezel- "He will take from you its support."

nasb@Micah:1:12 @For the inhabitant of Maroth Becomes weak waiting for good, Because a calamity has come down from the LORD To the gate of Jerusalem.

nasb@Micah:1:14 @Therefore you will give parting gifts On behalf of Moresheth-gath; The houses of Achzib will become a deception To the kings of Israel.

nasb@Micah:2:1 @Woe to those who scheme iniquity, Who work out evil on their beds! When morning comes, they do it, For it is in the power of their hands.

nasb@Micah:2:3 @Therefore thus says the LORD, "Behold, I am planning against this family a calamity From which you cannot remove your necks; And you will not walk haughtily, For it will be an evil time.

nasb@Micah:2:4" @On that day they will take up against you a taunt And utter a bitter lamentation and say, 'We are completely destroyed! He exchanges the portion of my people; How He removes it from me! To the apostate He apportions our fields.'

nasb@Micah:2:5" @Therefore you will have no one stretching a measuring line For you by lot in the assembly of the LORD.

nasb@Micah:2:8" @Recently My people have arisen as an enemy-- You strip the robe off the garment From unsuspecting passers-by, From those returned from war.

nasb@Micah:2:9" @The women of My people you evict, Each one from her pleasant house. From her children you take My splendor forever.

nasb@Micah:2:12" @I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together like sheep in the fold; Like a flock in the midst of its pasture They will be noisy with men.

nasb@Micah:2:3 @Who eat the flesh of my people, Strip off their skin from them, Break their bones And chop them up as for the pot And as meat in a kettle."

nasb@Micah:2:4 @Then they will cry out to the LORD, But He will not answer them. Instead, He will hide His face from them at that time Because they have practiced evil deeds.

nasb@Micah:2:5 @Thus says the LORD concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; When they have something to bite with their teeth, They cry, "Peace," But against him who puts nothing in their mouths They declare holy war.

nasb@Micah:2:6 @Therefore it will be night for you--without vision, And darkness for you--without divination. The sun will go down on the prophets, And the day will become dark over them.

nasb@Micah:2:7 @The seers will be ashamed And the diviners will be embarrassed. Indeed, they will all cover their mouths Because there is no answer from God.

nasb@Micah:2:11 @Her leaders pronounce judgment for a bribe, Her priests instruct for a price And her prophets divine for money. Yet they lean on the LORD saying, " Is not the LORD in our midst? Calamity will not come upon us."

nasb@Micah:2:12 @Therefore, on account of you Zion will be plowed as a field, Jerusalem will become a heap of ruins, And the mountain of the temple will become high places of a forest.

nasb@Micah:3:1 @And it will come about in the last days That the mountain of the house of the LORD Will be established as the chief of the mountains. It will be raised above the hills, And the peoples will stream to it.

nasb@Micah:3:2 @Many nations will come and say, " Come and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD And to the house of the God of Jacob, That He may teach us about His ways And that we may walk in His paths." For from Zion will go forth the law, Even the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

nasb@Micah:3:3 @And He will judge between many peoples And render decisions for mighty, distant nations. Then they will hammer their swords into plowshares And their spears into pruning hooks; Nation will not lift up sword against nation, And never again will they train for war.

nasb@Micah:3:5 @Though all the peoples walk Each in the name of his god, As for us, we will walk In the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.

nasb@Micah:3:6" @In that day," declares the LORD, "I will assemble the lame And gather the outcasts, Even those whom I have afflicted.

nasb@Micah:3:7" @I will make the lame a remnant And the outcasts a strong nation, And the LORD will reign over them in Mount Zion From now on and forever.

nasb@Micah:3:8" @As for you, tower of the flock, Hill of the daughter of Zion, To you it will come-- Even the former dominion will come, The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.

nasb@Micah:3:2" @But as for you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, Too little to be among the clans of Judah, From you One will go forth for Me to be ruler in Israel. His goings forth are from long ago, From the days of eternity."

nasb@Micah:3:3 @Therefore He will give them up until the time When she who is in labor has borne a child. Then the remainder of His brethren Will return to the sons of Israel.

nasb@Micah:3:4 @And He will arise and shepherd His flock In the strength of the LORD, In the majesty of the name of the LORD His God. And they will remain, Because at that time He will be great To the ends of the earth.

nasb@Micah:3:5 @This One will be our peace. When the Assyrian invades our land, When he tramples on our citadels, Then we will raise against him Seven shepherds and eight leaders of men.

nasb@Micah:3:7 @Then the remnant of Jacob Will be among many peoples Like dew from the LORD, Like showers on vegetation Which do not wait for man Or delay for the sons of men.

nasb@Micah:3:2" @Listen, you mountains, to the indictment of the LORD, And you enduring foundations of the earth, Because the LORD has a case against His people; Even with Israel He will dispute.

nasb@Micah:3:3" @ My people, what have I done to you, And how have I wearied you? Answer Me.

nasb@Micah:3:4" @Indeed, I brought you up from the land of Egypt And ransomed you from the house of slavery, And I sent before you Moses, Aaron and Miriam.

nasb@Micah:3:5" @My people, remember now What Balak king of Moab counseled And what Balaam son of Beor answered him, And from Shittim to Gilgal, So that you might know the righteous acts of the LORD."

nasb@Micah:3:6 @With what shall I come to the LORD And bow myself before the God on high? Shall I come to Him with burnt offerings, With yearling calves?

nasb@Micah:3:9 @The voice of the LORD will call to the city-- And it is sound wisdom to fear Your name- "Hear, O tribe. Who has appointed its time?

nasb@Micah:3:10" @Is there yet a man in the wicked house, Along with treasures of wickedness And a short measure that is cursed?

nasb@Micah:3:12" @For the rich men of the city are full of violence, Her residents speak lies, And their tongue is deceitful in their mouth.

nasb@Micah:4:1 @Woe is me! For I am Like the fruit pickers, like the grape gatherers. There is not a cluster of grapes to eat, Or a first-ripe fig which I crave.

nasb@Micah:4:2 @The godly person has perished from the land, And there is no upright person among men. All of them lie in wait for bloodshed; Each of them hunts the other with a net.

nasb@Micah:4:4 @The best of them is like a briar, The most upright like a thorn hedge. The day when you post your watchmen, Your punishment will come. Then their confusion will occur.

nasb@Micah:4:6 @For son treats father contemptuously, Daughter rises up against her mother, Daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; A man's enemies are the men of his own household.

nasb@Micah:4:7 @But as for me, I will watch expectantly for the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.

nasb@Micah:4:8 @Do not rejoice over me, O my enemy. Though I fall I will rise; Though I dwell in darkness, the LORD is a light for me.

nasb@Micah:4:9 @I will bear the indignation of the LORD Because I have sinned against Him, Until He pleads my case and executes justice for me. He will bring me out to the light, And I will see His righteousness.

nasb@Micah:4:10 @Then my enemy will see, And shame will cover her who said to me, "Where is the LORD your God?" My eyes will look on her; At that time she will be trampled down Like mire of the streets.

nasb@Micah:4:12 @It will be a day when they will come to you From Assyria and the cities of Egypt, From Egypt even to the Euphrates, Even from sea to sea and mountain to mountain.

nasb@Micah:4:13 @And the earth will become desolate because of her inhabitants, On account of the fruit of their deeds.

nasb@Micah:4:15" @As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt, I will show you miracles."

nasb@Micah:4:16 @Nations will see and be ashamed Of all their might. They will put their hand on their mouth, Their ears will be deaf.

nasb@Micah:4:17 @They will lick the dust like a serpent, Like reptiles of the earth. They will come trembling out of their fortresses; To the LORD our God they will come in dread And they will be afraid before You.

nasb@Nahum:1:3 @The LORD is slow to anger and great in power, And the LORD will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. In whirlwind and storm is His way, And clouds are the dust beneath His feet.

nasb@Nahum:1:4 @He rebukes the sea and makes it dry; He dries up all the rivers. Bashan and Carmel wither; The blossoms of Lebanon wither.

nasb@Nahum:1:10 @Like tangled thorns, And like those who are drunken with their drink, They are consumed As stubble completely withered.

nasb@Nahum:1:14 @The LORD has issued a command concerning you- "Your name will no longer be perpetuated. I will cut off idol and image From the house of your gods. I will prepare your grave, For you are contemptible."

nasb@Nahum:2:1 @The one who scatters has come up against you. Man the fortress, watch the road; Strengthen your back, summon all your strength.

nasb@Nahum:2:3 @The shields of his mighty men are colored red, The warriors are dressed in scarlet, The chariots are enveloped in flashing steel When he is prepared to march, And the cypress spears are brandished.

nasb@Nahum:2:10 @She is emptied! Yes, she is desolate and waste! Hearts are melting and knees knocking! Also anguish is in the whole body And all their faces are grown pale!

nasb@Nahum:2:13" @Behold, I am against you," declares the LORD of hosts. "I will burn up her chariots in smoke, a sword will devour your young lions; I will cut off your prey from the land, and no longer will the voice of your messengers be heard."

nasb@Nahum:3:3 @Horsemen charging, Swords flashing, spears gleaming, Many slain, a mass of corpses, And countless dead bodies-- They stumble over the dead bodies!

nasb@Nahum:3:7" @And it will come about that all who see you Will shrink from you and say, 'Nineveh is devastated! Who will grieve for her?' Where will I seek comforters for you?"

nasb@Nahum:3:10 @Yet she became an exile, She went into captivity; Also her small children were dashed to pieces At the head of every street; They cast lots for her honorable men, And all her great men were bound with fetters.

nasb@Nahum:3:11 @You too will become drunk, You will be hidden. You too will search for a refuge from the enemy.

nasb@Nahum:3:13 @Behold, your people are women in your midst! The gates of your land are opened wide to your enemies; Fire consumes your gate bars.

nasb@Habakkuk:1:3 @Why do You make me see iniquity, And cause me to look on wickedness? Yes, destruction and violence are before me; Strife exists and contention arises.

nasb@Habakkuk:1:4 @Therefore the law is ignored And justice is never upheld. For the wicked surround the righteous; Therefore justice comes out perverted.

nasb@Habakkuk:1:14 @Why have You made men like the fish of the sea, Like creeping things without a ruler over them?

nasb@Habakkuk:2:1 @I will stand on my guard post And station myself on the rampart; And I will keep watch to see what He will speak to me, And how I may reply when I am reproved.

nasb@Habakkuk:2:2 @Then the LORD answered me and said, " Record the vision And inscribe it on tablets, That the one who reads it may run.

nasb@Malachi:0:10" @ Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this," says the LORD of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows.

nasb@Malachi:0:13" @Your words have been arrogant against Me," says the LORD. "Yet you say, 'What have we spoken against You?'

nasb@Malachi:0:16 @Then those who feared the LORD spoke to one another, and the LORD gave attention and heard it, and a book of remembrance was written before Him for those who fear the LORD and who esteem His name.

nasb@Malachi:0:2" @But for you who fear My name, the sun of righteousness will rise with healing in its wings; and you will go forth and skip about like calves from the stall.

nasb@Malachi:0:4" @ Remember the law of Moses My servant, even the statutes and ordinances which I commanded him in Horeb for all Israel.

nasb@Malachi:0:6" @He will restore the hearts of the fathers to their children and the hearts of the children to their fathers, so that I will not come and smite the land with a curse."

nasb@Matthew:1:1 @The record of the genealogy of Jesus the Messiah, the son of David, the son of Abraham-

nasb@Matthew:1:11 @Josiah became the father of Jeconiah and his brothers, at the time of the deportation to Babylon.

nasb@Matthew:1:12 @After the deportation to Babylon- Jeconiah became the father of Shealtiel, and Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel.

nasb@Matthew:1:16 @Jacob was the father of Joseph the husband of Mary, by whom Jesus was born, who is called the Messiah.

nasb@Matthew:1:17 @So all the generations from Abraham to David are fourteen generations; from David to the deportation to Babylon, fourteen generations; and from the deportation to Babylon to the Messiah, fourteen generations.

nasb@Matthew:1:18 @Now the birth of Jesus Christ was as follows- when His mother Mary had been betrothed to Joseph, before they came together she was found to be with child by the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Matthew:1:21" @She will bear a Son; and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins."

nasb@Matthew:1:23" @ BEHOLD, THE VIRGIN SHALL BE WITH CHILD AND SHALL BEAR A SON, AND THEY SHALL CALL HIS NAME IMMANUEL," which translated means, " GOD WITH US."

nasb@Matthew:2:1 @but kept her a virgin until she gave birth to a Son; and he called His name Jesus.

nasb@Matthew:2:2" @Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him."

nasb@Matthew:2:4 @Gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born.

nasb@Matthew:2:6 @' AND YOU, BETHLEHEM, LAND OF JUDAH, ARE BY NO MEANS LEAST AMONG THE LEADERS OF JUDAH; FOR OUT OF YOU SHALL COME FORTH A RULER WHO WILL SHEPHERD MY PEOPLE ISRAEL.'"

nasb@Matthew:2:7 @Then Herod secretly called the magi and determined from them the exact time the star appeared.

nasb@Matthew:2:8 @And he sent them to Bethlehem and said, "Go and search carefully for the Child; and when you have found Him, report to me, so that I too may come and worship Him."

nasb@Matthew:2:9 @After hearing the king, they went their way; and the star, which they had seen in the east, went on before them until it came and stood over the place where the Child was.

nasb@Matthew:2:16 @Then when Herod saw that he had been tricked by the magi, he became very enraged, and sent and slew all the male children who were in Bethlehem and all its vicinity, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had determined from the magi.

nasb@Matthew:2:21 @So Joseph got up, took the Child and His mother, and came into the land of Israel.

nasb@Matthew:2:23 @and came and lived in a city called Nazareth. This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophets- "He shall be called a Nazarene."

nasb@Matthew:2:3 @Now in those days John the Baptist came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea, saying,

nasb@Matthew:2:4 @Now John himself had a garment of camel's hair and a leather belt around his waist; and his food was locusts and wild honey.

nasb@Matthew:2:7 @But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming for baptism, he said to them, "You brood of vipers, who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?

nasb@Matthew:2:11" @As for me, I baptize you with water for repentance, but He who is coming after me is mightier than I, and I am not fit to remove His sandals; He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

nasb@Matthew:2:14 @But John tried to prevent Him, saying, "I have need to be baptized by You, and do You come to me?"

nasb@Matthew:2:15 @But Jesus answering said to him, "Permit it at this time; for in this way it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness." Then he permitted Him.

nasb@Matthew:2:16 @After being baptized, Jesus came up immediately from the water; and behold, the heavens were opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending as a dove and lighting on Him,

nasb@Matthew:3:2 @And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry.

nasb@Matthew:3:3 @And the tempter came and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."

nasb@Matthew:3:9 @and he said to Him, " All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me."

nasb@Matthew:3:11 @Then the devil left Him; and behold, angels came and began to minister to Him.

nasb@Matthew:3:13 @and leaving Nazareth, He came and settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.

nasb@Matthew:3:17 @From that time Jesus began to preach and say, " Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."

nasb@Matthew:3:18 @Now as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

nasb@Matthew:3:19 @And He said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men."

nasb@Matthew:3:20 @Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

nasb@Matthew:3:21 @Going on from there He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and He called them.

nasb@Matthew:3:22 @Immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

nasb@Matthew:4:1 @When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and after He sat down, His disciples came to Him.

nasb@Matthew:4:7" @Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy.

nasb@Matthew:4:11" @Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me.

nasb@Matthew:4:12" @Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

nasb@Matthew:4:13" @You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has become tasteless, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled under foot by men.

nasb@Matthew:4:16" @Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:17" @Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill.

nasb@Matthew:4:19" @Whoever then annuls one of the least of these commandments, and teaches others to do the same, shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven; but whoever keeps and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:22" @But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, ' You good-for-nothing,' shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.

nasb@Matthew:4:23" @Therefore if you are presenting your offering at the altar, and there remember that your brother has something against you,

nasb@Matthew:4:24 @leave your offering there before the altar and go; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and present your offering.

nasb@Matthew:4:26" @Truly I say to you, you will not come out of there until you have paid up the last cent.

nasb@Matthew:4:37" @But let your statement be, 'Yes, yes' or 'No, no'; anything beyond these is of evil.

nasb@Matthew:4:46" @For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?

nasb@Matthew:4:47" @If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?

nasb@Matthew:4:6" @Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:2" @So when you give to the poor, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be honored by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

nasb@Matthew:4:5" @When you pray, you are not to be like the hypocrites; for they love to stand and pray in the synagogues and on the street corners so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

nasb@Matthew:4:7" @And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words.

nasb@Matthew:4:9" @ Pray, then, in this way- 'Our Father who is in heaven, Hallowed be Your name.

nasb@Matthew:4:10 @' Your kingdom come. Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven.

nasb@Matthew:4:13 @'And do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from evil. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.]'

nasb@Matthew:4:16" @ Whenever you fast, do not put on a gloomy face as the hypocrites do, for they neglect their appearance so that they will be noticed by men when they are fasting. Truly I say to you, they have their reward in full.

nasb@Matthew:4:18 @so that your fasting will not be noticed by men, but by your Father who is in secret; and your Father who sees what is done in secret will reward you.

nasb@Matthew:4:2" @For in the way you judge, you will be judged; and by your standard of measure, it will be measured to you.

nasb@Matthew:4:4" @ Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' and behold, the log is in your own eye?

nasb@Matthew:4:12" @In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.

nasb@Matthew:4:15" @Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves.

nasb@Matthew:4:21" @ Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter.

nasb@Matthew:4:22" @ Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?'

nasb@Matthew:4:23" @And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.'

nasb@Matthew:4:25" @And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and yet it did not fall, for it had been founded on the rock.

nasb@Matthew:4:27" @The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and slammed against that house; and it fell--and great was its fall."

nasb@Matthew:5:1 @When Jesus came down from the mountain, large crowds followed Him.

nasb@Matthew:5:2 @And a leper came to Him and bowed down before Him, and said, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."

nasb@Matthew:5:3 @Jesus stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately his leprosy was cleansed.

nasb@Matthew:5:5 @And when Jesus entered Capernaum, a centurion came to Him, imploring Him,

nasb@Matthew:5:6 @and saying, "Lord, my servant is lying paralyzed at home, fearfully tormented."

nasb@Matthew:5:7 @Jesus said to him, "I will come and heal him."

nasb@Matthew:5:8 @But the centurion said, "Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

nasb@Matthew:5:9" @For I also am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes, and to another, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does it."

nasb@Matthew:5:11" @I say to you that many will come from east and west, and recline at the table with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven;

nasb@Matthew:5:13 @And Jesus said to the centurion, "Go; it shall be done for you as you have believed." And the servant was healed that very moment.

nasb@Matthew:5:14 @When Jesus came into Peter's home, He saw his mother-in-law lying sick in bed with a fever.

nasb@Matthew:5:16 @When evening came, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were ill.

nasb@Matthew:5:19 @Then a scribe came and said to Him, "Teacher, I will follow You wherever You go."

nasb@Matthew:5:21 @Another of the disciples said to Him, "Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father."

nasb@Matthew:5:22 @But Jesus said to him, " Follow Me, and allow the dead to bury their own dead."

nasb@Matthew:5:25 @And they came to Him and woke Him, saying, " Save us, Lord; we are perishing!"

nasb@Matthew:5:26 @He said to them, "Why are you afraid, you men of little faith?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the sea, and it became perfectly calm.

nasb@Matthew:5:27 @The men were amazed, and said, "What kind of a man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey Him?"

nasb@Matthew:5:28 @When He came to the other side into the country of the Gadarenes, two men who were demon-possessed met Him as they were coming out of the tombs. They were so extremely violent that no one could pass by that way.

nasb@Matthew:5:29 @And they cried out, saying, " What business do we have with each other, Son of God? Have You come here to torment us before the time?"

nasb@Matthew:5:32 @And He said to them, "Go!" And they came out and went into the swine, and the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the waters.

nasb@Matthew:5:33 @The herdsmen ran away, and went to the city and reported everything, including what had happened to the demoniacs.

nasb@Matthew:5:34 @And behold, the whole city came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw Him, they implored Him to leave their region.

nasb@Matthew:6:1 @Getting into a boat, Jesus crossed over the sea and came to His own city.

nasb@Matthew:6:3 @And some of the scribes said to themselves, "This fellow blasphemes."

nasb@Matthew:6:6" @But so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins"--then He said to the paralytic, "Get up, pick up your bed and go home."

nasb@Matthew:6:7 @And he got up and went home.

nasb@Matthew:6:8 @But when the crowds saw this, they were awestruck, and glorified God, who had given such authority to men.

nasb@Matthew:6:9 @As Jesus went on from there, He saw a man called Matthew, sitting in the tax collector's booth; and He said to him, " Follow Me!" And he got up and followed Him.

nasb@Matthew:6:10 @Then it happened that as Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were dining with Jesus and His disciples.

nasb@Matthew:6:13" @But go and learn what this means- ' I DESIRE COMPASSION, AND NOT SACRIFICE,' for I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

nasb@Matthew:6:14 @Then the disciples of John came to Him, asking, "Why do we and the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?"

nasb@Matthew:6:15 @And Jesus said to them, "The attendants of the bridegroom cannot mourn as long as the bridegroom is with them, can they? But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast.

nasb@Matthew:6:16" @But no one puts a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; for the patch pulls away from the garment, and a worse tear results.

nasb@Matthew:6:18 @While He was saying these things to them, a synagogue official came and bowed down before Him, and said, "My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live."

nasb@Matthew:6:20 @And a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak;

nasb@Matthew:6:21 @for she was saying to herself, "If I only touch His garment, I will get well."

nasb@Matthew:6:23 @When Jesus came into the official's house, and saw the flute-players and the crowd in noisy disorder,

nasb@Matthew:6:27 @As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, "Have mercy on us, Son of David!"

nasb@Matthew:6:28 @When He entered the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them, "Do you believe that I am able to do this?" They said to Him, "Yes, Lord."

nasb@Matthew:11:21 @There were about five thousand men who ate, besides women and children.

nasb@Matthew:11:22 @Immediately He made the disciples get into the boat and go ahead of Him to the other side, while He sent the crowds away.

nasb@Matthew:11:25 @And in the fourth watch of the night He came to them, walking on the sea.

nasb@Matthew:11:27 @But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, " Take courage, it is I; do not be afraid."

nasb@Matthew:11:28 @Peter said to Him, "Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water."

nasb@Matthew:11:29 @And He said, "Come!" And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

nasb@Matthew:11:30 @But seeing the wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, "Lord, save me!"

nasb@Matthew:11:31 @Immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and took hold of him, and said to him, " You of little faith, why did you doubt?"

nasb@Matthew:11:34 @When they had crossed over, they came to land at Gennesaret.

nasb@Matthew:11:35 @And when the men of that place recognized Him, they sent word into all that surrounding district and brought to Him all who were sick;

nasb@Matthew:11:15 @Then some Pharisees and scribes came to Jesus from Jerusalem and said,

nasb@Matthew:11:3 @And He answered and said to them, "Why do you yourselves transgress the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition?

nasb@Matthew:11:8 @' THIS PEOPLE HONORS ME WITH THEIR LIPS, BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR AWAY FROM ME.

nasb@Matthew:11:9 @'BUT IN VAIN DO THEY WORSHIP ME, TEACHING AS DOCTRINES THE PRECEPTS OF MEN.'"

nasb@Matthew:11:12 @Then the disciples came and said to Him, "Do You know that the Pharisees were offended when they heard this statement?"

nasb@Matthew:11:18" @But the things that proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and those defile the man.

nasb@Matthew:11:19" @ For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders.

nasb@Matthew:11:22 @And a Canaanite woman from that region came out and began to cry out, saying, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is cruelly demon-possessed."

nasb@Matthew:11:23 @But He did not answer her a word. And His disciples came and implored Him, saying, "Send her away, because she keeps shouting at us."

nasb@Matthew:11:25 @But she came and began to bow down before Him, saying, "Lord, help me!"

nasb@Matthew:11:30 @And large crowds came to Him, bringing with them those who were lame, crippled, blind, mute, and many others, and they laid them down at His feet; and He healed them.

nasb@Matthew:11:31 @So the crowd marveled as they saw the mute speaking, the crippled restored, and the lame walking, and the blind seeing; and they glorified the God of Israel.

nasb@Matthew:11:32 @And Jesus called His disciples to Him, and said, " I feel compassion for the people, because they have remained with Me now three days and have nothing to eat; and I do not want to send them away hungry, for they might faint on the way."

nasb@Matthew:11:38 @And those who ate were four thousand men, besides women and children.

nasb@Matthew:11:39 @And sending away the crowds, Jesus got into the boat and came to the region of Magadan.

nasb@Matthew:12:1 @The Pharisees and Sadducees came up, and testing Jesus, they asked Him to show them a sign from heaven.

nasb@Matthew:12:3" @And in the morning, 'There will be a storm today, for the sky is red and threatening.' Do you know how to discern the appearance of the sky, but cannot discern the signs of the times?

nasb@Matthew:12:5 @And the disciples came to the other side of the sea, but they had forgotten to bring any bread.

nasb@Matthew:12:8 @But Jesus, aware of this, said, " You men of little faith, why do you discuss among yourselves that you have no bread?

nasb@Matthew:12:9" @Do you not yet understand or remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets full you picked up?

nasb@Matthew:12:13 @Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, He was asking His disciples, "Who do people say that the Son of Man is?"

nasb@Matthew:12:14 @And they said, "Some say John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but still others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets."

nasb@Matthew:12:21 @From that time Jesus began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day.

nasb@Matthew:12:23 @But He turned and said to Peter, "Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God's interests, but man's."

nasb@Matthew:12:24 @Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.

nasb@Matthew:12:27" @For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and WILL THEN REPAY EVERY MAN ACCORDING TO HIS DEEDS.

nasb@Matthew:12:28" @Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the Son of Man coming in His kingdom."

nasb@Matthew:13:1 @Six days later Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves.

nasb@Matthew:13:2 @And He was transfigured before them; and His face shone like the sun, and His garments became as white as light.

nasb@Matthew:13:7 @And Jesus came to them and touched them and said, "Get up, and do not be afraid."

nasb@Matthew:13:10 @And His disciples asked Him, "Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

nasb@Matthew:13:12 @but I say to you that Elijah already came, and they did not recognize him, but did to him whatever they wished. So also the Son of Man is going to suffer at their hands."

nasb@Matthew:13:14 @When they came to the crowd, a man came up to Jesus, falling on his knees before Him and saying,

nasb@Matthew:13:15" @Lord, have mercy on my son, for he is a lunatic and is very ill; for he often falls into the fire and often into the water.

nasb@Matthew:13:17 @And Jesus answered and said, "You unbelieving and perverted generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him here to Me."

nasb@Matthew:13:18 @And Jesus rebuked him, and the demon came out of him, and the boy was cured at once.

nasb@Matthew:13:19 @Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, "Why could we not drive it out?"

nasb@Matthew:13:22 @And while they were gathering together in Galilee, Jesus said to them, "The Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men;

nasb@Matthew:13:24 @When they came to Capernaum, those who collected the two-drachma tax came to Peter and said, "Does your teacher not pay the two-drachma tax?"

nasb@Matthew:13:25 @He said, "Yes." And when he came into the house, Jesus spoke to him first, saying, "What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth collect customs or poll-tax, from their sons or from strangers?"

nasb@Matthew:13:27" @However, so that we do not offend them, go to the sea and throw in a hook, and take the first fish that comes up; and when you open its mouth, you will find a shekel. Take that and give it to them for you and Me."

nasb@Matthew:14:1 @At that time the disciples came to Jesus and said, " Who then is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?"

nasb@Matthew:14:3 @and said, "Truly I say to you, unless you are converted and become like children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.

nasb@Matthew:14:5" @And whoever receives one such child in My name receives Me;

nasb@Matthew:14:6 @but whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a heavy millstone hung around his neck, and to be drowned in the depth of the sea.

nasb@Matthew:14:7" @Woe to the world because of its stumbling blocks! For it is inevitable that stumbling blocks come; but woe to that man through whom the stumbling block comes!

nasb@Matthew:14:8" @ If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than to have two hands or two feet and be cast into the eternal fire.

nasb@Matthew:14:11 @[" For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost.]

nasb@Matthew:14:16" @But if he does not listen to you, take one or two more with you, so that BY THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY FACT MAY BE CONFIRMED.

nasb@Matthew:14:20" @For where two or three have gathered together in My name, I am there in their midst."

nasb@Matthew:14:21 @Then Peter came and said to Him, "Lord, how often shall my brother sin against me and I forgive him? Up to seven times?"

nasb@Matthew:14:22 @Jesus said to him, "I do not say to you, up to seven times, but up to seventy times seven.

nasb@Matthew:14:25" @But since he did not have the means to repay, his lord commanded him to be sold, along with his wife and children and all that he had, and repayment to be made.

nasb@Matthew:14:26" @So the slave fell to the ground and prostrated himself before him, saying, 'Have patience with me and I will repay you everything.'

nasb@Matthew:14:29" @So his fellow slave fell to the ground and began to plead with him, saying, 'Have patience with me and I will repay you.'

nasb@Matthew:14:31" @So when his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were deeply grieved and came and reported to their lord all that had happened.

nasb@Matthew:14:32" @Then summoning him, his lord said to him, 'You wicked slave, I forgave you all that debt because you pleaded with me.

nasb@Matthew:14:33 @' Should you not also have had mercy on your fellow slave, in the same way that I had mercy on you?'

nasb@Matthew:14:35" @ My heavenly Father will also do the same to you, if each of you does not forgive his brother from your heart."

nasb@Matthew:15:1 @When Jesus had finished these words, He departed from Galilee and came into the region of Judea beyond the Jordan;

nasb@Matthew:15:3 @Some Pharisees came to Jesus, testing Him and asking, " Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason at all?"

nasb@Matthew:15:5 @and said, ' FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH'?

nasb@Matthew:15:11 @But He said to them, " Not all men can accept this statement, but only those to whom it has been given.

nasb@Matthew:15:12" @For there are eunuchs who were born that way from their mother's womb; and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men; and there are also eunuchs who made themselves eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this, let him accept it."

nasb@Matthew:15:13 @Then some children were brought to Him so that He might lay His hands on them and pray; and the disciples rebuked them.

nasb@Matthew:15:14 @But Jesus said, " Let the children alone, and do not hinder them from coming to Me; for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these."

nasb@Matthew:15:16 @And someone came to Him and said, "Teacher, what good thing shall I do that I may obtain eternal life?"

nasb@Matthew:15:17 @And He said to him, "Why are you asking Me about what is good? There is only One who is good; but if you wish to enter into life, keep the commandments."

nasb@Matthew:15:21 @Jesus said to him, "If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

nasb@Matthew:15:22 @But when the young man heard this statement, he went away grieving; for he was one who owned much property.

nasb@Matthew:15:24" @Again I say to you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

nasb@Matthew:15:28 @And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

nasb@Matthew:15:29" @And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My name's sake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life.

nasb@Matthew:15:5" @Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did the same thing.

nasb@Matthew:15:8" @When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his foreman, 'Call the laborers and pay them their wages, beginning with the last group to the first.'

nasb@Matthew:15:9" @When those hired about the eleventh hour came, each one received a denarius.

nasb@Matthew:15:10" @When those hired first came, they thought that they would receive more; but each of them also received a denarius.

nasb@Matthew:15:12 @saying, 'These last men have worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden and the scorching heat of the day.'

nasb@Matthew:15:13" @But he answered and said to one of them, ' Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for a denarius?

nasb@Matthew:15:14 @'Take what is yours and go, but I wish to give to this last man the same as to you.

nasb@Matthew:15:15 @'Is it not lawful for me to do what I wish with what is my own? Or is your eye envious because I am generous?'

nasb@Matthew:15:20 @Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, bowing down and making a request of Him.

nasb@Matthew:15:24 @And hearing this, the ten became indignant with the two brothers.

nasb@Matthew:15:25 @But Jesus called them to Himself and said, "You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great men exercise authority over them.

nasb@Matthew:15:26" @It is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant,

nasb@Matthew:15:28 @just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

nasb@Matthew:15:30 @And two blind men sitting by the road, hearing that Jesus was passing by, cried out, "Lord, have mercy on us, Son of David!"

nasb@Matthew:15:31 @The crowd sternly told them to be quiet, but they cried out all the more, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us!"

nasb@Matthew:15:32 @And Jesus stopped and called them, and said, "What do you want Me to do for you?"

nasb@Matthew:15:34 @Moved with compassion, Jesus touched their eyes; and immediately they regained their sight and followed Him.

nasb@Matthew:16:1 @When they had approached Jerusalem and had come to Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples,

nasb@Matthew:16:2 @saying to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied there and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to Me.

nasb@Matthew:16:3" @If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, 'The Lord has need of them,' and immediately he will send them."

nasb@Matthew:16:9 @The crowds going ahead of Him, and those who followed, were shouting, "Hosanna to the Son of David; BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Hosanna in the highest!"

nasb@Matthew:16:14 @And the blind and the lame came to Him in the temple, and He healed them.

nasb@Matthew:16:15 @But when the chief priests and the scribes saw the wonderful things that He had done, and the children who were shouting in the temple, "Hosanna to the Son of David," they became indignant

nasb@Matthew:16:18 @Now in the morning, when He was returning to the city, He became hungry.

nasb@Matthew:16:19 @Seeing a lone fig tree by the road, He came to it and found nothing on it except leaves only; and He said to it, "No longer shall there ever be any fruit from you." And at once the fig tree withered.

nasb@Matthew:16:23 @When He entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to Him while He was teaching, and said, "By what authority are You doing these things, and who gave You this authority?"

nasb@Matthew:16:24 @Jesus said to them, "I will also ask you one thing, which if you tell Me, I will also tell you by what authority I do these things.

nasb@Matthew:16:25" @The baptism of John was from what source, from heaven or from men?" And they began reasoning among themselves, saying, "If we say, 'From heaven,' He will say to us, 'Then why did you not believe him?'

nasb@Matthew:16:26" @But if we say, 'From men,' we fear the people; for they all regard John as a prophet."

nasb@Matthew:16:28" @But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, 'Son, go work today in the vineyard.'

nasb@Matthew:16:30" @The man came to the second and said the same thing; and he answered, 'I will, sir'; but he did not go.

nasb@Matthew:16:32" @For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and prostitutes did believe him; and you, seeing this, did not even feel remorse afterward so as to believe him.

nasb@Matthew:16:34" @When the harvest time approached, he sent his slaves to the vine-growers to receive his produce.

nasb@Matthew:16:36" @Again he sent another group of slaves larger than the first; and they did the same thing to them.

nasb@Matthew:16:38" @But when the vine-growers saw the son, they said among themselves, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him and seize his inheritance.'

nasb@Matthew:16:40" @Therefore when the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those vine-growers?"

nasb@Matthew:16:42 @Jesus said to them, "Did you never read in the Scriptures, ' THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone; THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES'?

nasb@Matthew:16:44" @And he who falls on this stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust."

nasb@Matthew:16:3" @And he sent out his slaves to call those who had been invited to the wedding feast, and they were unwilling to come.

nasb@Matthew:16:4" @Again he sent out other slaves saying, 'Tell those who have been invited, "Behold, I have prepared my dinner; my oxen and my fattened livestock are all butchered and everything is ready; come to the wedding feast."'

nasb@Matthew:16:11" @But when the king came in to look over the dinner guests, he saw a man there who was not dressed in wedding clothes,

nasb@Matthew:16:12 @and he said to him, ' Friend, how did you come in here without wedding clothes?' And the man was speechless.

nasb@Matthew:16:18 @But Jesus perceived their malice, and said, "Why are you testing Me, you hypocrites?

nasb@Matthew:16:19" @Show Me the coin used for the poll-tax." And they brought Him a denarius.

nasb@Matthew:16:23 @On that day some Sadducees (who say there is no resurrection) came to Jesus and questioned Him,

nasb@Matthew:16:36" @Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?"

nasb@Matthew:16:38" @This is the great and foremost commandment.

nasb@Matthew:16:40" @ On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets."

nasb@Matthew:17:15" @Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, because you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves.

nasb@Matthew:17:17" @You fools and blind men! Which is more important, the gold or the temple that sanctified the gold?

nasb@Matthew:17:19" @You blind men, which is more important, the offering, or the altar that sanctifies the offering?

nasb@Matthew:17:23" @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law- justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others.

nasb@Matthew:17:24" @You blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel!

nasb@Matthew:17:26" @You blind Pharisee, first clean the inside of the cup and of the dish, so that the outside of it may become clean also.

nasb@Matthew:17:27" @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness.

nasb@Matthew:17:28" @So you, too, outwardly appear righteous to men, but inwardly you are full of hypocrisy and lawlessness.

nasb@Matthew:17:29" @ Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you build the tombs of the prophets and adorn the monuments of the righteous,

nasb@Matthew:18:13" @Truly I say to you, wherever this gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her."

nasb@Matthew:18:14 @Then one of the twelve, named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests

nasb@Matthew:18:15 @and said, "What are you willing to give me to betray Him to you?" And they weighed out thirty pieces of silver to him.

nasb@Matthew:18:17 @Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do You want us to prepare for You to eat the Passover?"

nasb@Matthew:18:18 @And He said, "Go into the city to a certain man, and say to him, 'The Teacher says, " My time is near; I am to keep the Passover at your house with My disciples."'"

nasb@Matthew:18:20 @Now when evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the twelve disciples.

nasb@Matthew:18:21 @As they were eating, He said, " Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me."

nasb@Matthew:18:23 @And He answered, " He who dipped his hand with Me in the bowl is the one who will betray Me.

nasb@Matthew:18:26 @While they were eating, Jesus took some bread, and after a blessing, He broke it and gave it to the disciples, and said, "Take, eat; this is My body."

nasb@Matthew:18:31 @Then Jesus said to them, "You will all fall away because of Me this night, for it is written, ' I WILL STRIKE DOWN THE SHEPHERD, AND THE SHEEP OF THE FLOCK SHALL BE SCATTERED.'

nasb@Matthew:18:34 @Jesus said to him, " Truly I say to you that this very night, before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times."

nasb@Matthew:18:35 @Peter said to Him, " Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You." All the disciples said the same thing too.

nasb@Matthew:18:36 @Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray."

nasb@Matthew:18:38 @Then He said to them, " My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me."

nasb@Matthew:18:39 @And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will."

nasb@Matthew:18:40 @And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour?

nasb@Matthew:18:42 @He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done."

nasb@Matthew:18:43 @Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

nasb@Matthew:18:44 @And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.

nasb@Matthew:18:45 @Then He came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

nasb@Matthew:18:46" @Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"

nasb@Matthew:18:47 @While He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came up accompanied by a large crowd with swords and clubs, who came from the chief priests and elders of the people.

nasb@Matthew:18:48 @Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him."

nasb@Matthew:18:49 @Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.

nasb@Matthew:18:50 @And Jesus said to him, " Friend, do what you have come for." Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized Him.

nasb@Matthew:18:55 @At that time Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a robber? Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me.

nasb@Matthew:18:58 @But Peter was following Him at a distance as far as the courtyard of the high priest, and entered in, and sat down with the officers to see the outcome.

nasb@Matthew:18:60 @They did not find any, even though many false witnesses came forward. But later on two came forward,

nasb@Matthew:18:62 @The high priest stood up and said to Him, "Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?"

nasb@Matthew:18:65 @Then the high priest tore his robes and said, "He has blasphemed! What further need do we have of witnesses? Behold, you have now heard the blasphemy;

nasb@Matthew:18:69 @Now Peter was sitting outside in the courtyard, and a servant-girl came to him and said, "You too were with Jesus the Galilean."

nasb@Matthew:18:73 @A little later the bystanders came up and said to Peter, "Surely you too are one of them; for even the way you talk gives you away."

nasb@Matthew:18:74 @Then he began to curse and swear, "I do not know the man!" And immediately a rooster crowed.

nasb@Matthew:18:75 @And Peter remembered the word which Jesus had said, " Before a rooster crows, you will deny Me three times." And he went out and wept bitterly.

nasb@Matthew:19:1 @Now when morning came, all the chief priests and the elders of the people conferred together against Jesus to put Him to death;

nasb@Matthew:19:10 @AND THEY GAVE THEM FOR THE POTTER'S FIELD, AS THE LORD DIRECTED ME."

nasb@Matthew:19:15 @Now at the feast the governor was accustomed to release for the people any one prisoner whom they wanted.

nasb@Matthew:19:16 @At that time they were holding a notorious prisoner, called Barabbas.

nasb@Matthew:19:17 @So when the people gathered together, Pilate said to them, "Whom do you want me to release for you? Barabbas, or Jesus who is called Christ?"

nasb@Matthew:19:19 @While he was sitting on the judgment seat, his wife sent him a message, saying, "Have nothing to do with that righteous Man; for last night I suffered greatly in a dream because of Him."

nasb@Matthew:19:21 @But the governor said to them, "Which of the two do you want me to release for you?" And they said, "Barabbas."

nasb@Matthew:19:31 @After they had mocked Him, they took the scarlet robe off Him and put His own garments back on Him, and led Him away to crucify Him.

nasb@Matthew:19:32 @As they were coming out, they found a man of Cyrene named Simon, whom they pressed into service to bear His cross.

nasb@Matthew:19:33 @And when they came to a place called Golgotha, which means Place of a Skull,

nasb@Matthew:19:35 @And when they had crucified Him, they divided up His garments among themselves by casting lots.

nasb@Matthew:19:38 @At that time two robbers were crucified with Him, one on the right and one on the left.

nasb@Matthew:19:40 @and saying, " You who are going to destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days, save Yourself! If You are the Son of God, come down from the cross."

nasb@Matthew:19:41 @In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking Him and saying,

nasb@Matthew:19:42" @ He saved others; He cannot save Himself. He is the King of Israel; let Him now come down from the cross, and we will believe in Him.

nasb@Matthew:19:44 @The robbers who had been crucified with Him were also insulting Him with the same words.

nasb@Matthew:19:46 @About the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, " ELI, ELI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" that is, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"

nasb@Matthew:19:47 @And some of those who were standing there, when they heard it, began saying, "This man is calling for Elijah."

nasb@Matthew:19:48 @Immediately one of them ran, and taking a sponge, he filled it with sour wine and put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink.

nasb@Matthew:19:49 @But the rest of them said, "Let us see whether Elijah will come to save Him."

nasb@Matthew:19:54 @Now the centurion, and those who were with him keeping guard over Jesus, when they saw the earthquake and the things that were happening, became very frightened and said, "Truly this was the Son of God!"

nasb@Matthew:19:55 @Many women were there looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee while ministering to Him.

nasb@Matthew:19:56 @Among them was Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James and Joseph, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

nasb@Matthew:19:57 @When it was evening, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus.

nasb@Matthew:19:63 @and said, "Sir, we remember that when He was still alive that deceiver said, ' After three days I am to rise again.'

nasb@Matthew:19:64" @Therefore, give orders for the grave to be made secure until the third day, otherwise His disciples may come and steal Him away and say to the people, 'He has risen from the dead,' and the last deception will be worse than the first."

nasb@Matthew:20:1 @Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave.

nasb@Matthew:20:2 @And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it.

nasb@Matthew:20:4 @The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men.

nasb@Matthew:20:5 @The angel said to the women, " Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified.

nasb@Matthew:20:6" @He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying.

nasb@Matthew:20:9 @And behold, Jesus met them and greeted them. And they came up and took hold of His feet and worshiped Him.

nasb@Matthew:20:10 @Then Jesus said to them, " Do not be afraid; go and take word to My brethren to leave for Galilee, and there they will see Me."

nasb@Matthew:20:11 @Now while they were on their way, some of the guard came into the city and reported to the chief priests all that had happened.

nasb@Matthew:20:13 @and said, "You are to say, 'His disciples came by night and stole Him away while we were asleep.'

nasb@Matthew:20:14" @And if this should come to the governor's ears, we will win him over and keep you out of trouble."

nasb@Matthew:20:17 @When they saw Him, they worshiped Him; but some were doubtful.

nasb@Matthew:20:18 @And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, " All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.

nasb@Matthew:20:19" @ Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,

nasb@Mark:1:2 @As it is written in Isaiah the prophet- " BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU, WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY;

nasb@Mark:1:6 @John was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and his diet was locusts and wild honey.

nasb@Mark:1:7 @And he was preaching, and saying, "After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the thong of His sandals.

nasb@Mark:1:9 @In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

nasb@Mark:1:10 @Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him;

nasb@Mark:1:11 @and a voice came out of the heavens- " You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased."

nasb@Mark:1:12 @Immediately the Spirit impelled Him to go out into the wilderness.

nasb@Mark:1:14 @Now after John had been taken into custody, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,

nasb@Mark:1:15 @and saying, " The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel."

nasb@Mark:1:16 @As He was going along by the Sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew, the brother of Simon, casting a net in the sea; for they were fishermen.

nasb@Mark:1:17 @And Jesus said to them, "Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men."

nasb@Mark:1:18 @Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.

nasb@Mark:1:19 @Going on a little farther, He saw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were also in the boat mending the nets.

nasb@Mark:1:20 @Immediately He called them; and they left their father Zebedee in the boat with the hired servants, and went away to follow Him.

nasb@Mark:1:21 @They went into Capernaum; and immediately on the Sabbath He entered the synagogue and began to teach.

nasb@Mark:1:24 @saying, " What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are-- the Holy One of God!"

nasb@Mark:1:25 @And Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet, and come out of him!"

nasb@Mark:1:26 @Throwing him into convulsions, the unclean spirit cried out with a loud voice and came out of him.

nasb@Mark:1:28 @Immediately the news about Him spread everywhere into all the surrounding district of Galilee.

nasb@Mark:1:29 @And immediately after they came out of the synagogue, they came into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

nasb@Mark:1:30 @Now Simon's mother-in-law was lying sick with a fever; and immediately they spoke to Jesus about her.

nasb@Mark:1:31 @And He came to her and raised her up, taking her by the hand, and the fever left her, and she waited on them.

nasb@Mark:1:32 @When evening came, after the sun had set, they began bringing to Him all who were ill and those who were demon-possessed.

nasb@Mark:1:38 @He said to them, "Let us go somewhere else to the towns nearby, so that I may preach there also; for that is what I came for."

nasb@Mark:1:40 @And a leper came to Jesus, beseeching Him and falling on his knees before Him, and saying, "If You are willing, You can make me clean."

nasb@Mark:1:42 @Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed.

nasb@Mark:1:43 @And He sternly warned him and immediately sent him away,

nasb@Mark:2:1 @When He had come back to Capernaum several days afterward, it was heard that He was at home.

nasb@Mark:2:3 @And they came, bringing to Him a paralytic, carried by four men.

nasb@Mark:2:6 @But some of the scribes were sitting there and reasoning in their hearts,

nasb@Mark:2:8 @Immediately Jesus, aware in His spirit that they were reasoning that way within themselves, said to them, "Why are you reasoning about these things in your hearts?

nasb@Mark:2:11" @I say to you, get up, pick up your pallet and go home."

nasb@Mark:2:12 @And he got up and immediately picked up the pallet and went out in the sight of everyone, so that they were all amazed and were glorifying God, saying, " We have never seen anything like this."

nasb@Mark:2:14 @As He passed by, He saw Levi the son of Alphaeus sitting in the tax booth, and He said to him, " Follow Me!" And he got up and followed Him.

nasb@Mark:2:17 @And hearing this, Jesus said to them, " It is not those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick; I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners."

nasb@Mark:2:18 @John's disciples and the Pharisees were fasting; and they came and said to Him, "Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees fast, but Your disciples do not fast?"

nasb@Mark:2:20" @But the days will come when the bridegroom is taken away from them, and then they will fast in that day.

nasb@Mark:2:21" @No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment; otherwise the patch pulls away from it, the new from the old, and a worse tear results.

nasb@Mark:2:25 @And He said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he was in need and he and his companions became hungry;

nasb@Mark:2:26 @how he entered the house of God in the time of Abiathar the high priest, and ate the consecrated bread, which is not lawful for anyone to eat except the priests, and he also gave it to those who were with him?"

nasb@Mark:3:3 @He said to the man with the withered hand, "Get up and come forward!"

nasb@Mark:3:6 @The Pharisees went out and immediately began conspiring with the Herodians against Him, as to how they might destroy Him.

nasb@Mark:3:8 @and from Jerusalem, and from Idumea, and beyond the Jordan, and the vicinity of Tyre and Sidon, a great number of people heard of all that He was doing and came to Him.

nasb@Mark:3:13 @And He went up on the mountain and summoned those whom He Himself wanted, and they came to Him.

nasb@Mark:3:16 @And He appointed the twelve- Simon (to whom He gave the name Peter),

nasb@Mark:3:17 @and James, the son of Zebedee, and John the brother of James (to them He gave the name Boanerges, which means, "Sons of Thunder");

nasb@Mark:3:18 @and Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot;

nasb@Mark:3:20 @And He came home, and the crowd gathered again, to such an extent that they could not even eat a meal.

nasb@Mark:3:22 @The scribes who came down from Jerusalem were saying, "He is possessed by Beelzebul," and " He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons."

nasb@Mark:3:28" @ Truly I say to you, all sins shall be forgiven the sons of men, and whatever blasphemies they utter;

nasb@Mark:3:29 @but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit never has forgiveness, but is guilty of an eternal sin"--

nasb@Mark:4:4 @as he was sowing, some seed fell beside the road, and the birds came and ate it up.

nasb@Mark:4:5" @Other seed fell on the rocky ground where it did not have much soil; and immediately it sprang up because it had no depth of soil.

nasb@Mark:4:7" @Other seed fell among the thorns, and the thorns came up and choked it, and it yielded no crop.

nasb@Mark:4:15" @These are the ones who are beside the road where the word is sown; and when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word which has been sown in them.

nasb@Mark:4:16" @In a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy;

nasb@Mark:4:17 @and they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they fall away.

nasb@Mark:4:19 @but the worries of the world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for other things enter in and choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful.

nasb@Mark:4:22" @ For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light.

nasb@Mark:4:24 @And He was saying to them, "Take care what you listen to. By your standard of measure it will be measured to you; and more will be given you besides.

nasb@Mark:4:29" @But when the crop permits, he immediately puts in the sickle, because the harvest has come."

nasb@Mark:4:32 @yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that THE BIRDS OF THE AIR can NEST UNDER ITS SHADE."

nasb@Mark:4:35 @On that day, when evening came, He said to them, "Let us go over to the other side."

nasb@Mark:4:39 @And He got up and rebuked the wind and said to the sea, "Hush, be still." And the wind died down and it became perfectly calm.

nasb@Mark:4:41 @They became very much afraid and said to one another, "Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey HimNULL"

nasb@Mark:5:1 @They came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.

nasb@Mark:5:2 @When He got out of the boat, immediately a man from the tombs with an unclean spirit met Him,

nasb@Mark:5:7 @and shouting with a loud voice, he said, " What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!"

nasb@Mark:5:8 @For He had been saying to him, "Come out of the man, you unclean spirit!"

nasb@Mark:5:9 @And He was asking him, "What is your name?" And he said to Him, "My name is Legion; for we are many."

nasb@Mark:5:14 @Their herdsmen ran away and reported it in the city and in the country. And the people came to see what it was that had happened.

nasb@Mark:5:15 @They came to Jesus and observed the man who had been demon-possessed sitting down, clothed and in his right mind, the very man who had had the " legion"; and they became frightened.

nasb@Mark:5:19 @And He did not let him, but He said to him, " Go home to your people and report to them what great things the Lord has done for you, and how He had mercy on you."

nasb@Mark:5:22 @One of the synagogue officials named Jairus came up, and on seeing Him, fell at His feet

nasb@Mark:5:23 @and implored Him earnestly, saying, "My little daughter is at the point of death; please come and lay Your hands on her, so that she will get well and live."

nasb@Mark:5:27 @after hearing about Jesus, she came up in the crowd behind Him and touched His cloak.

nasb@Mark:5:28 @For she thought, "If I just touch His garments, I will get well."

nasb@Mark:5:29 @Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction.

nasb@Mark:5:30 @Immediately Jesus, perceiving in Himself that the power proceeding from Him had gone forth, turned around in the crowd and said, "Who touched My garments?"

nasb@Mark:5:31 @And His disciples said to Him, "You see the crowd pressing in on You, and You say, 'Who touched Me?'"

nasb@Mark:5:33 @But the woman fearing and trembling, aware of what had happened to her, came and fell down before Him and told Him the whole truth.

nasb@Mark:5:35 @While He was still speaking, they came from the house of the synagogue official, saying, "Your daughter has died; why trouble the Teacher anymore?"

nasb@Mark:5:37 @And He allowed no one to accompany Him, except Peter and James and John the brother of James.

nasb@Mark:5:38 @They came to the house of the synagogue official; and He saw a commotion, and people loudly weeping and wailing.

nasb@Mark:5:41 @Taking the child by the hand, He said to her, "Talitha kum!" (which translated means, "Little girl, I say to you, get up!").

nasb@Mark:5:42 @Immediately the girl got up and began to walk, for she was twelve years old. And immediately they were completely astounded.

nasb@Mark:5:43 @And He gave them strict orders that no one should know about this, and He said that something should be given her to eat.

nasb@Mark:6:1 @Jesus went out from there and came into His hometown; and His disciples followed Him.

nasb@Mark:6:2 @When the Sabbath came, He began to teach in the synagogue; and the many listeners were astonished, saying, "Where did this man get these things, and what is this wisdom given to Him, and such miracles as these performed by His hands?

nasb@Mark:6:3" @Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? Are not His sisters here with us?" And they took offense at Him.

nasb@Mark:6:4 @Jesus said to them, " A prophet is not without honor except in his hometown and among his own relatives and in his own household."

nasb@Mark:6:8 @and He instructed them that they should take nothing for their journey, except a mere staff--no bread, no bag, no money in their belt--

nasb@Mark:6:12 @They went out and preached that men should repent.

nasb@Mark:6:14 @And King Herod heard of it, for His name had become well known; and people were saying, " John the Baptist has risen from the dead, and that is why these miraculous powers are at work in Him."

nasb@Mark:6:21 @A strategic day came when Herod on his birthday gave a banquet for his lords and military commanders and the leading men of Galilee;

nasb@Mark:6:22 @and when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and danced, she pleased Herod and his dinner guests; and the king said to the girl, "Ask me for whatever you want and I will give it to you."

nasb@Mark:6:25 @Immediately she came in a hurry to the king and asked, saying, "I want you to give me at once the head of John the Baptist on a platter."

nasb@Mark:6:27 @Immediately the king sent an executioner and commanded him to bring back his head. And he went and had him beheaded in the prison,

nasb@Mark:6:29 @When his disciples heard about this, they came and took away his body and laid it in a tomb.

nasb@Mark:6:35 @When it was already quite late, His disciples came to Him and said, "This place is desolate and it is already quite late;

nasb@Mark:7:34 @And He summoned the crowd with His disciples, and said to them, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.

nasb@Mark:7:38" @For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when He comes in the glory of His Father with the holy angels."

nasb@Mark:8:1 @And Jesus was saying to them, " Truly I say to you, there are some of those who are standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power."

nasb@Mark:8:2 @Six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John, and brought them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured before them;

nasb@Mark:8:3 @and His garments became radiant and exceedingly white, as no launderer on earth can whiten them.

nasb@Mark:8:6 @For he did not know what to answer; for they became terrified.

nasb@Mark:8:7 @Then a cloud formed, overshadowing them, and a voice came out of the cloud, " This is My beloved Son, listen to Him!"

nasb@Mark:8:10 @They seized upon that statement, discussing with one another what rising from the dead meant.

nasb@Mark:8:11 @They asked Him, saying, "Why is it that the scribes say that Elijah must come first?"

nasb@Mark:8:12 @And He said to them, "Elijah does first come and restore all things. And yet how is it written of the Son of Man that He will suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

nasb@Mark:8:13" @But I say to you that Elijah has indeed come, and they did to him whatever they wished, just as it is written of him."

nasb@Mark:8:14 @When they came back to the disciples, they saw a large crowd around them, and some scribes arguing with them.

nasb@Mark:8:15 @Immediately, when the entire crowd saw Him, they were amazed and began running up to greet Him.

nasb@Mark:8:19 @And He answered them and said, "O unbelieving generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring him to Me!"

nasb@Mark:8:20 @They brought the boy to Him. When he saw Him, immediately the spirit threw him into a convulsion, and falling to the ground, he began rolling around and foaming at the mouth.

nasb@Mark:8:24 @Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, "I do believe; help my unbelief."

nasb@Mark:8:25 @When Jesus saw that a crowd was rapidly gathering, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it, "You deaf and mute spirit, I command you, come out of him and do not enter him again."

nasb@Mark:8:26 @After crying out and throwing him into terrible convulsions, it came out; and the boy became so much like a corpse that most of them said, "He is dead!"

nasb@Mark:8:28 @When He came into the house, His disciples began questioning Him privately, "Why could we not drive it out?"

nasb@Mark:8:29 @And He said to them, "This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer."

nasb@Mark:8:31 @For He was teaching His disciples and telling them, " The Son of Man is to be delivered into the hands of men, and they will kill Him; and when He has been killed, He will rise three days later."

nasb@Mark:8:32 @But they did not understand this statement, and they were afraid to ask Him.

nasb@Mark:8:33 @They came to Capernaum; and when He was in the house, He began to question them, "What were you discussing on the way?"

nasb@Mark:8:37" @ Whoever receives one child like this in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me does not receive Me, but Him who sent Me."

nasb@Mark:8:38 @John said to Him, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name, and we tried to prevent him because he was not following us."

nasb@Mark:8:39 @But Jesus said, "Do not hinder him, for there is no one who will perform a miracle in My name, and be able soon afterward to speak evil of Me.

nasb@Mark:8:41" @For whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because of your name as followers of Christ, truly I say to you, he will not lose his reward.

nasb@Mark:8:45" @If your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off; it is better for you to enter life lame, than, having your two feet, to be cast into hell,

nasb@Mark:8:50" @Salt is good; but if the salt becomes unsalty, with what will you make it salty againNULL Have salt in yourselves, and be at peace with one another."

nasb@Mark:9:2 @Some Pharisees came up to Jesus, testing Him, and began to question Him whether it was lawful for a man to divorce a wife.

nasb@Mark:9:5 @But Jesus said to them, " Because of your hardness of heart he wrote you this commandment.

nasb@Mark:9:8 @AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH; so they are no longer two, but one flesh.

nasb@Mark:9:14 @But when Jesus saw this, He was indignant and said to them, "Permit the children to come to Me; do not hinder them; for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

nasb@Mark:9:18 @And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

nasb@Mark:9:19" @You know the commandments, ' DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, Do not defraud, HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.'"

nasb@Mark:9:21 @Looking at him, Jesus felt a love for him and said to him, "One thing you lack- go and sell all you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

nasb@Mark:9:25" @ It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

nasb@Mark:9:30 @but that he will receive a hundred times as much now in the present age, houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and farms, along with persecutions; and in the age to come, eternal life.

nasb@Mark:9:35 @James and John, the two sons of Zebedee, came up to Jesus, saying, "Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask of You."

nasb@Mark:9:36 @And He said to them, "What do you want Me to do for you?"

nasb@Mark:9:41 @Hearing this, the ten began to feel indignant with James and John.

nasb@Mark:9:42 @Calling them to Himself, Jesus said to them, "You know that those who are recognized as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them; and their great men exercise authority over them.

nasb@Mark:9:43" @But it is not this way among you, but whoever wishes to become great among you shall be your servant;

nasb@Mark:9:45" @For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many."

nasb@Mark:9:46 @Then they came to Jericho. And as He was leaving Jericho with His disciples and a large crowd, a blind beggar named Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, was sitting by the road.

nasb@Mark:9:47 @When he heard that it was Jesus the Nazarene, he began to cry out and say, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

nasb@Mark:9:48 @Many were sternly telling him to be quiet, but he kept crying out all the more, " Son of David, have mercy on me!"

nasb@Mark:9:50 @Throwing aside his cloak, he jumped up and came to Jesus.

nasb@Mark:9:51 @And answering him, Jesus said, "What do you want Me to do for you?" And the blind man said to Him, " Rabboni, I want to regain my sight!"

nasb@Mark:9:52 @And Jesus said to him, "Go; your faith has made you well." Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him on the road.

nasb@Mark:10:2 @and said to them, "Go into the village opposite you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, on which no one yet has ever sat; untie it and bring it here.

nasb@Mark:10:3" @If anyone says to you, 'Why are you doing this?' you say, 'The Lord has need of it'; and immediately he will send it back here."

nasb@Mark:10:5 @Some of the bystanders were saying to them, "What are you doing, untying the colt?"

nasb@Mark:10:9 @Those who went in front and those who followed were shouting- "Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD;

nasb@Mark:10:11 @Jesus entered Jerusalem and came into the temple; and after looking around at everything, He left for Bethany with the twelve, since it was already late.

nasb@Mark:10:12 @On the next day, when they had left Bethany, He became hungry.

nasb@Mark:10:13 @Seeing at a distance a fig tree in leaf, He went to see if perhaps He would find anything on it; and when He came to it, He found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs.

nasb@Mark:10:15 @Then they came to Jerusalem. And He entered the temple and began to drive out those who were buying and selling in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who were selling doves;

nasb@Mark:10:16 @and He would not permit anyone to carry merchandise through the temple.

nasb@Mark:10:19 @When evening came, they would go out of the city.

nasb@Mark:10:27 @They came again to Jerusalem. And as He was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to Him,

nasb@Mark:10:29 @And Jesus said to them, "I will ask you one question, and you answer Me, and then I will tell you by what authority I do these things.

nasb@Mark:10:30" @Was the baptism of John from heaven, or from men? Answer Me."

nasb@Mark:10:32" @But shall we say, 'From men'?"--they were afraid of the people, for everyone considered John to have been a real prophet.

nasb@Mark:10:2" @At the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, in order to receive some of the produce of the vineyard from the vine-growers.

nasb@Mark:10:4" @Again he sent them another slave, and they wounded him in the head, and treated him shamefully.

nasb@Mark:10:5" @And he sent another, and that one they killed; and so with many others, beating some and killing others.

nasb@Mark:10:7" @But those vine-growers said to one another, 'This is the heir; come, let us kill him, and the inheritance will be ours!'

nasb@Mark:10:9" @What will the owner of the vineyard do? He will come and destroy the vine-growers, and will give the vineyard to others.

nasb@Mark:10:10" @Have you not even read this Scripture- ' THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone;

nasb@Mark:10:11 @THIS CAME ABOUT FROM THE LORD, AND IT IS MARVELOUS IN OUR EYES'?"

nasb@Mark:10:13 @Then they sent some of the Pharisees and Herodians to Him in order to trap Him in a statement.

nasb@Mark:10:14 @They came and said to Him, "Teacher, we know that You are truthful and defer to no one; for You are not partial to any, but teach the way of God in truth. Is it lawful to pay a poll-tax to Caesar, or not?

nasb@Mark:10:15" @Shall we pay or shall we not pay?" But He, knowing their hypocrisy, said to them, "Why are you testing Me? Bring Me a denarius to look at."

nasb@Mark:10:18 @Some Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection) came to Jesus, and began questioning Him, saying,

nasb@Mark:10:28 @One of the scribes came and heard them arguing, and recognizing that He had answered them well, asked Him, "What commandment is the foremost of all?"

nasb@Mark:10:31" @The second is this, ' YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' There is no other commandment greater than these."

nasb@Mark:10:42 @A poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which amount to a cent.

nasb@Mark:11:3 @As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew were questioning Him privately,

nasb@Mark:11:6" @Many will come in My name, saying, ' I am He!' and will mislead many.

nasb@Mark:11:8" @For nation will rise up against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be earthquakes in various places; there will also be famines. These things are merely the beginning of birth pangs.

nasb@Mark:11:13" @ You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.

nasb@Mark:11:19" @For those days will be a time of tribulation such as has not occurred since the beginning of the creation which God created until now, and never will.

nasb@Mark:11:28" @Now learn the parable from the fig tree- when its branch has already become tender and puts forth its leaves, you know that summer is near.

nasb@Mark:12:3 @While He was in Bethany at the home of Simon the leper, and reclining at the table, there came a woman with an alabaster vial of very costly perfume of pure nard; and she broke the vial and poured it over His head.

nasb@Mark:12:4 @But some were indignantly remarking to one another, "Why has this perfume been wasted?

nasb@Mark:12:5" @For this perfume might have been sold for over three hundred denarii, and the money given to the poor." And they were scolding her.

nasb@Mark:12:6 @But Jesus said, "Let her alone; why do you bother her? She has done a good deed to Me.

nasb@Mark:12:7" @For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you wish you can do good to them; but you do not always have Me.

nasb@Mark:12:9" @Truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, what this woman has done will also be spoken of in memory of her."

nasb@Mark:12:11 @They were glad when they heard this, and promised to give him money. And he began seeking how to betray Him at an opportune time.

nasb@Mark:12:13 @And He sent two of His disciples and said to them, "Go into the city, and a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him;

nasb@Mark:12:16 @The disciples went out and came to the city, and found it just as He had told them; and they prepared the Passover.

nasb@Mark:12:17 @When it was evening He came with the twelve.

nasb@Mark:12:18 @As they were reclining at the table and eating, Jesus said, "Truly I say to you that one of you will betray Me--one who is eating with Me."

nasb@Mark:12:20 @And He said to them, "It is one of the twelve, one who dips with Me in the bowl.

nasb@Mark:12:22 @While they were eating, He took some bread, and after a blessing He broke it, and gave it to them, and said, "Take it; this is My body."

nasb@Mark:12:30 @And Jesus said to him, "Truly I say to you, that this very night, before a rooster crows twice, you yourself will deny Me three times."

nasb@Mark:12:31 @But Peter kept saying insistently, "Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!" And they all were saying the same thing also.

nasb@Mark:12:32 @They came to a place named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, "Sit here until I have prayed."

nasb@Mark:12:33 @And He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be very distressed and troubled.

nasb@Mark:12:36 @And He was saying, " Abba! Father! All things are possible for You; remove this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You will."

nasb@Mark:12:37 @And He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour?

nasb@Mark:12:38" @ Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

nasb@Mark:12:39 @Again He went away and prayed, saying the same words.

nasb@Mark:12:40 @And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.

nasb@Mark:12:41 @And He came the third time, and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough; the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

nasb@Mark:12:42" @Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"

nasb@Mark:12:43 @Immediately while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came up accompanied by a crowd with swords and clubs, who were from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

nasb@Mark:12:44 @Now he who was betraying Him had given them a signal, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him and lead Him away under guard."

nasb@Mark:12:45 @After coming, Judas immediately went to Him, saying, " Rabbi!" and kissed Him.

nasb@Mark:12:48 @And Jesus said to them, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me, as you would against a robber?

nasb@Mark:12:49" @Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me; but this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures."

nasb@Mark:12:57 @Some stood up and began to give false testimony against Him, saying,

nasb@Mark:12:60 @The high priest stood up and came forward and questioned Jesus, saying, "Do You not answer? What is it that these men are testifying against You?"

nasb@Mark:12:65 @Some began to spit at Him, and to blindfold Him, and to beat Him with their fists, and to say to Him, " Prophesy!" And the officers received Him with slaps in the face.

nasb@Mark:12:66 @As Peter was below in the courtyard, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came,

nasb@Mark:12:72 @Immediately a rooster crowed a second time. And Peter remembered how Jesus had made the remark to him, "Before a rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times." And he began to weep.

nasb@Mark:13:1 @Early in the morning the chief priests with the elders and scribes and the whole Council, immediately held a consultation; and binding Jesus, they led Him away and delivered Him to Pilate.

nasb@Mark:13:7 @The man named Barabbas had been imprisoned with the insurrectionists who had committed murder in the insurrection.

nasb@Mark:13:8 @The crowd went up and began asking him to do as he had been accustomed to do for them.

nasb@Mark:13:9 @Pilate answered them, saying, "Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?"

nasb@Mark:13:20 @After they had mocked Him, they took the purple robe off Him and put His own garments on Him. And they led Him out to crucify Him.

nasb@Mark:13:24 @And they crucified Him, and divided up His garments among themselves, casting lots for them to decide what each man should take.

nasb@Mark:13:30 @save Yourself, and come down from the cross!"

nasb@Mark:13:31 @In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes, were mocking Him among themselves and saying, " He saved others; He cannot save Himself.

nasb@Mark:13:32" @Let this Christ, the King of Israel, now come down from the cross, so that we may see and believe!" Those who were crucified with Him were also insulting Him.

nasb@Mark:13:33 @When the sixth hour came, darkness fell over the whole land until the ninth hour.

nasb@Mark:13:34 @At the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, " ELOI, ELOI, LAMA SABACHTHANI?" which is translated, "MY GOD, MY GOD, WHY HAVE YOU FORSAKEN ME?"

nasb@Mark:13:35 @When some of the bystanders heard it, they began saying, "Behold, He is calling for Elijah."

nasb@Mark:13:36 @Someone ran and filled a sponge with sour wine, put it on a reed, and gave Him a drink, saying, "Let us see whether Elijah will come to take Him down."

nasb@Mark:13:40 @There were also some women looking on from a distance, among whom were Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James the Less and Joses, and Salome.

nasb@Mark:13:41 @When He was in Galilee, they used to follow Him and minister to Him; and there were many other women who came up with Him to Jerusalem.

nasb@Mark:13:42 @When evening had already come, because it was the preparation day, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

nasb@Mark:13:43 @Joseph of Arimathea came, a prominent member of the Council, who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God; and he gathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus.

nasb@Mark:13:44 @Pilate wondered if He was dead by this time, and summoning the centurion, he questioned him as to whether He was already dead.

nasb@Mark:14:1 @When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome, bought spices, so that they might come and anoint Him.

nasb@Mark:14:2 @Very early on the first day of the week, they came to the tomb when the sun had risen.

nasb@Mark:14:4 @Looking up, they saw that the stone had been rolled away, although it was extremely large.

nasb@Mark:14:8 @They went out and fled from the tomb, for trembling and astonishment had gripped them; and they said nothing to anyone, for they were afraid.

And after that, Jesus Himself sent out through them from east to west the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation.]

nasb@Luke:1:3 @it seemed fitting for me as well, having investigated everything carefully from the beginning, to write it out for you in consecutive order, most excellent Theophilus;

nasb@Luke:1:5 @In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah; and he had a wife from the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth.

nasb@Luke:1:6 @They were both righteous in the sight of God, walking blamelessly in all the commandments and requirements of the Lord.

nasb@Luke:1:13 @But the angel said to him, " Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will give him the name John.

nasb@Luke:1:20" @And behold, you shall be silent and unable to speak until the day when these things take place, because you did not believe my words, which will be fulfilled in their proper time."

nasb@Luke:1:22 @But when he came out, he was unable to speak to them; and they realized that he had seen a vision in the temple; and he kept making signs to them, and remained mute.

nasb@Luke:1:23 @When the days of his priestly service were ended, he went back home.

nasb@Luke:1:24 @After these days Elizabeth his wife became pregnant, and she kept herself in seclusion for five months, saying,

nasb@Luke:1:25" @This is the way the Lord has dealt with me in the days when He looked with favor upon me, to take away my disgrace among men."

nasb@Luke:1:27 @to a virgin engaged to a man whose name was Joseph, of the descendants of David; and the virgin's name was Mary.

nasb@Luke:1:29 @But she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was.

nasb@Luke:1:31" @And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name Him Jesus.

nasb@Luke:1:35 @The angel answered and said to her, " The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; and for that reason the holy Child shall be called the Son of God.

nasb@Luke:1:38 @And Mary said, "Behold, the bondslave of the Lord; may it be done to me according to your word." And the angel departed from her.

nasb@Luke:1:39 @Now at this time Mary arose and went in a hurry to the hill country, to a city of Judah,

nasb@Luke:1:42 @And she cried out with a loud voice and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb!

nasb@Luke:1:43" @And how has it happened to me, that the mother of my Lord would come to me?

nasb@Luke:1:45" @And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what had been spoken to her by the Lord."

nasb@Luke:1:48" @For He has had regard for the humble state of His bondslave; For behold, from this time on all generations will count me blessed.

nasb@Luke:1:49" @For the Mighty One has done great things for me; And holy is His name.

nasb@Luke:1:54" @He has given help to Israel His servant, In remembrance of His mercy,

nasb@Luke:1:56 @And Mary stayed with her about three months, and then returned to her home.

nasb@Luke:1:57 @Now the time had come for Elizabeth to give birth, and she gave birth to a son.

nasb@Luke:1:58 @Her neighbors and her relatives heard that the Lord had displayed His great mercy toward her; and they were rejoicing with her.

nasb@Luke:1:59 @And it happened that on the eighth day they came to circumcise the child, and they were going to call him Zacharias, after his father.

nasb@Luke:1:61 @And they said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by that name."

nasb@Luke:1:63 @And he asked for a tablet and wrote as follows, " His name is John." And they were all astonished.

nasb@Luke:1:65 @Fear came on all those living around them; and all these matters were being talked about in all the hill country of Judea.

nasb@Luke:1:78 @Because of the tender mercy of our God, With which the Sunrise from on high will visit us,

nasb@Luke:2:8 @In the same region there were some shepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night.

nasb@Luke:2:14" @ Glory to God in the highest, And on earth peace among men with whom He is pleased."

nasb@Luke:2:16 @So they came in a hurry and found their way to Mary and Joseph, and the baby as He lay in the manger.

nasb@Luke:2:17 @When they had seen this, they made known the statement which had been told them about this Child.

nasb@Luke:2:21 @And when eight days had passed, before His circumcision, His name was then called Jesus, the name given by the angel before He was conceived in the womb.

nasb@Luke:2:25 @And there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him.

nasb@Luke:2:49 @And He said to them, "Why is it that you were looking for Me? Did you not know that I had to be in My Father's house?"

nasb@Luke:2:50 @But they did not understand the statement which He had made to them.

nasb@Luke:2:51 @And He went down with them and came to Nazareth, and He continued in subjection to them; and His mother treasured all these things in her heart.

nasb@Luke:2:52 @And Jesus kept increasing in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men.

nasb@Luke:3:2 @in the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the wilderness.

nasb@Luke:3:3 @And he came into all the district around the Jordan, preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins;

nasb@Luke:3:5 @' EVERY RAVINE WILL BE FILLED, AND EVERY MOUNTAIN AND HILL WILL BE BROUGHT LOW; THE CROOKED WILL BECOME STRAIGHT, AND THE ROUGH ROADS SMOOTH;

nasb@Luke:4:3 @And the devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread."

nasb@Luke:4:5 @And he led Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

nasb@Luke:4:6 @And the devil said to Him, "I will give You all this domain and its glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

nasb@Luke:4:7" @Therefore if You worship before me, it shall all be Yours."

nasb@Luke:4:13 @When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

nasb@Luke:4:16 @And He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up; and as was His custom, He entered the synagogue on the Sabbath, and stood up to read.

nasb@Luke:4:18" @ THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME, BECAUSE HE ANOINTED ME TO PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. HE HAS SENT ME TO PROCLAIM RELEASE TO THE CAPTIVES, AND RECOVERY OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND, TO SET FREE THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED,

nasb@Luke:4:23 @And He said to them, "No doubt you will quote this proverb to Me, 'Physician, heal yourself! Whatever we heard was done at Capernaum, do here in your hometown as well.'"

nasb@Luke:4:24 @And He said, "Truly I say to you, no prophet is welcome in his hometown.

nasb@Luke:4:25" @But I say to you in truth, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the sky was shut up for three years and six months, when a great famine came over all the land;

nasb@Luke:4:27" @And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet; and none of them was cleansed, but only Naaman the Syrian."

nasb@Luke:4:31 @And He came down to Capernaum, a city of Galilee, and He was teaching them on the Sabbath;

nasb@Luke:4:32 @and they were amazed at His teaching, for His message was with authority.

nasb@Luke:4:34" @Let us alone! What business do we have with each other, Jesus of Nazareth? Have You come to destroy us? I know who You are-- the Holy One of God!"

nasb@Luke:4:35 @But Jesus rebuked him, saying, "Be quiet and come out of him!" And when the demon had thrown him down in the midst of the people, he came out of him without doing him any harm.

nasb@Luke:4:36 @And amazement came upon them all, and they began talking with one another saying, "What is this message? For with authority and power He commands the unclean spirits and they come out."

nasb@Luke:4:38 @Then He got up and left the synagogue, and entered Simon's home. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Him to help her.

nasb@Luke:4:39 @And standing over her, He rebuked the fever, and it left her; and she immediately got up and waited on them.

nasb@Luke:4:42 @When day came, Jesus left and went to a secluded place; and the crowds were searching for Him, and came to Him and tried to keep Him from going away from them.

nasb@Luke:5:2 @and He saw two boats lying at the edge of the lake; but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets.

nasb@Luke:5:7 @so they signaled to their partners in the other boat for them to come and help them. And they came and filled both of the boats, so that they began to sink.

nasb@Luke:5:8 @But when Simon Peter saw that, he fell down at Jesus' feet, saying, "Go away from me Lord, for I am a sinful man!"

nasb@Luke:5:9 @For amazement had seized him and all his companions because of the catch of fish which they had taken;

nasb@Luke:5:10 @and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who were partners with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, " Do not fear, from now on you will be catching men."

nasb@Luke:5:12 @While He was in one of the cities, behold, there was a man covered with leprosy; and when he saw Jesus, he fell on his face and implored Him, saying, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean."

nasb@Luke:5:13 @And He stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately the leprosy left him.

nasb@Luke:5:17 @One day He was teaching; and there were some Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting there, who had come from every village of Galilee and Judea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was present for Him to perform healing.

nasb@Luke:5:18 @And some men were carrying on a bed a man who was paralyzed; and they were trying to bring him in and to set him down in front of Him.

nasb@Luke:5:24" @But, so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,"--He said to the paralytic--"I say to you, get up, and pick up your stretcher and go home."

nasb@Luke:5:25 @Immediately he got up before them, and picked up what he had been lying on, and went home glorifying God.

nasb@Luke:5:26 @They were all struck with astonishment and began glorifying God; and they were filled with fear, saying, "We have seen remarkable things today."

nasb@Luke:5:27 @After that He went out and noticed a tax collector named Levi sitting in the tax booth, and He said to him, "Follow Me."

nasb@Luke:5:32" @I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance."

nasb@Luke:5:33 @And they said to Him, " The disciples of John often fast and offer prayers, the disciples of the Pharisees also do the same, but Yours eat and drink."

nasb@Luke:5:35" @ But the days will come; and when the bridegroom is taken away from them, then they will fast in those days."

nasb@Luke:5:36 @And He was also telling them a parable- "No one tears a piece of cloth from a new garment and puts it on an old garment; otherwise he will both tear the new, and the piece from the new will not match the old.

nasb@Luke:6:1 @Now it happened that He was passing through some grainfields on a Sabbath; and His disciples were picking the heads of grain, rubbing them in their hands, and eating the grain.

nasb@Luke:6:2 @But some of the Pharisees said, "Why do you do what is not lawful on the Sabbath?"

nasb@Luke:6:8 @But He knew what they were thinking, and He said to the man with the withered hand, "Get up and come forward!" And he got up and came forward.

nasb@Luke:6:12 @It was at this time that He went off to the mountain to pray, and He spent the whole night in prayer to God.

nasb@Luke:6:13 @And when day came, He called His disciples to Him and chose twelve of them, whom He also named as apostles-

nasb@Luke:6:14 @Simon, whom He also named Peter, and Andrew his brother; and James and John; and Philip and Bartholomew;

nasb@Luke:6:15 @and Matthew and Thomas; James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon who was called the Zealot;

nasb@Luke:6:16 @Judas the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, who became a traitor.

nasb@Luke:6:17 @Jesus came down with them and stood on a level place; and there was a large crowd of His disciples, and a great throng of people from all Judea and Jerusalem and the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon,

nasb@Luke:6:18 @who had come to hear Him and to be healed of their diseases; and those who were troubled with unclean spirits were being cured.

nasb@Luke:6:22" @ Blessed are you when men hate you, and ostracize you, and insult you, and scorn your name as evil, for the sake of the Son of Man.

nasb@Luke:6:23" @Be glad in that day and leap for joy, for behold, your reward is great in heaven. For in the same way their fathers used to treat the prophets.

nasb@Luke:6:26" @Woe to you when all men speak well of you, for their fathers used to treat the false prophets in the same way.

nasb@Luke:6:31" @ Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.

nasb@Luke:6:33" @If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.

nasb@Luke:6:34" @ If you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners in order to receive back the same amount.

nasb@Luke:6:35" @But love your enemies, and do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High; for He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil men.

nasb@Luke:6:36" @Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.

nasb@Luke:6:38" @Give, and it will be given to you. They will pour into your lap a good measure--pressed down, shaken together, and running over. For by your standard of measure it will be measured to you in return."

nasb@Luke:6:42" @Or how can you say to your brother, 'Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.

nasb@Luke:6:44" @ For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush.

nasb@Luke:6:46" @ Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?

nasb@Luke:6:47" @ Everyone who comes to Me and hears My words and acts on them, I will show you whom he is like-

nasb@Luke:6:49" @But the one who has heard and has not acted accordingly, is like a man who built a house on the ground without any foundation; and the torrent burst against it and immediately it collapsed, and the ruin of that house was great."

nasb@Luke:7:3 @When he heard about Jesus, he sent some Jewish elders asking Him to come and save the life of his slave.

nasb@Luke:7:4 @When they came to Jesus, they earnestly implored Him, saying, "He is worthy for You to grant this to him;

nasb@Luke:7:6 @Now Jesus started on His way with them; and when He was not far from the house, the centurion sent friends, saying to Him, "Lord, do not trouble Yourself further, for I am not worthy for You to come under my roof;

nasb@Luke:7:7 @for this reason I did not even consider myself worthy to come to You, but just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

nasb@Luke:7:8" @For I also am a man placed under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, 'Go!' and he goes, and to another, 'Come!' and he comes, and to my slave, 'Do this!' and he does it."

nasb@Luke:7:14 @And He came up and touched the coffin; and the bearers came to a halt. And He said, "Young man, I say to you, arise!"

nasb@Luke:7:19 @Summoning two of his disciples, John sent them to the Lord, saying, "Are You the Expected One, or do we look for someone else?"

nasb@Luke:7:20 @When the men came to Him, they said, "John the Baptist has sent us to You, to ask, 'Are You the Expected One, or do we look for someone else?'"

nasb@Luke:7:21 @At that very time He cured many people of diseases and afflictions and evil spirits; and He gave sight to many who were blind.

nasb@Luke:7:22 @And He answered and said to them, "Go and report to John what you have seen and heard- the BLIND RECEIVE SIGHT, the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the POOR HAVE THE GOSPEL PREACHED TO THEM.

nasb@Luke:7:23" @Blessed is he who does not take offense at Me."

nasb@Luke:7:24 @When the messengers of John had left, He began to speak to the crowds about John, "What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?

nasb@Luke:7:27" @This is the one about whom it is written, ' BEHOLD, I SEND MY MESSENGER AHEAD OF YOU, WHO WILL PREPARE YOUR WAY BEFORE YOU.'

nasb@Luke:7:28" @I say to you, among those born of women there is no one greater than John; yet he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."

nasb@Luke:7:31" @To what then shall I compare the men of this generation, and what are they like?

nasb@Luke:7:33" @For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, 'He has a demon!'

nasb@Luke:7:34" @The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Behold, a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'

nasb@Luke:7:37 @And there was a woman in the city who was a sinner; and when she learned that He was reclining at the table in the Pharisee's house, she brought an alabaster vial of perfume,

nasb@Luke:7:38 @and standing behind Him at His feet, weeping, she began to wet His feet with her tears, and kept wiping them with the hair of her head, and kissing His feet and anointing them with the perfume.

nasb@Luke:7:40 @And Jesus answered him, "Simon, I have something to say to you." And he replied, "Say it, Teacher."

nasb@Luke:7:44 @Turning toward the woman, He said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave Me no water for My feet, but she has wet My feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair.

nasb@Luke:7:45" @You gave Me no kiss; but she, since the time I came in, has not ceased to kiss My feet.

nasb@Luke:7:46" @ You did not anoint My head with oil, but she anointed My feet with perfume.

nasb@Luke:8:2 @and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and sicknesses- Mary who was called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,

nasb@Luke:8:3 @and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's steward, and Susanna, and many others who were contributing to their support out of their private means.

nasb@Luke:8:5" @The sower went out to sow his seed; and as he sowed, some fell beside the road, and it was trampled under foot and the birds of the air ate it up.

nasb@Luke:8:8" @Other seed fell into the good soil, and grew up, and produced a crop a hundred times as great." As He said these things, He would call out, " He who has ears to hear, let him hear."

nasb@Luke:8:9 @His disciples began questioning Him as to what this parable meant.

nasb@Luke:8:12" @Those beside the road are those who have heard; then the devil comes and takes away the word from their heart, so that they will not believe and be saved.

nasb@Luke:8:13" @Those on the rocky soil are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no firm root; they believe for a while, and in time of temptation fall away.

nasb@Luke:8:16" @Now no one after lighting a lamp covers it over with a container, or puts it under a bed; but he puts it on a lampstand, so that those who come in may see the light.

nasb@Luke:8:17" @ For nothing is hidden that will not become evident, nor anything secret that will not be known and come to light.

nasb@Luke:8:19 @And His mother and brothers came to Him, and they were unable to get to Him because of the crowd.

nasb@Luke:8:24 @They came to Jesus and woke Him up, saying, " Master, Master, we are perishing!" And He got up and rebuked the wind and the surging waves, and they stopped, and it became calm.

nasb@Luke:8:27 @And when He came out onto the land, He was met by a man from the city who was possessed with demons; and who had not put on any clothing for a long time, and was not living in a house, but in the tombs.

nasb@Luke:8:28 @Seeing Jesus, he cried out and fell before Him, and said in a loud voice, " What business do we have with each other, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? I beg You, do not torment me."

nasb@Luke:8:29 @For He had commanded the unclean spirit to come out of the man. For it had seized him many times; and he was bound with chains and shackles and kept under guard, and yet he would break his bonds and be driven by the demon into the desert.

nasb@Luke:8:30 @And Jesus asked him, "What is your name?" And he said, " Legion"; for many demons had entered him.

nasb@Luke:8:33 @And the demons came out of the man and entered the swine; and the herd rushed down the steep bank into the lake and was drowned.

nasb@Luke:8:34 @When the herdsmen saw what had happened, they ran away and reported it in the city and out in the country.

nasb@Luke:8:35 @The people went out to see what had happened; and they came to Jesus, and found the man from whom the demons had gone out, sitting down at the feet of Jesus, clothed and in his right mind; and they became frightened.

nasb@Luke:8:40 @And as Jesus returned, the people welcomed Him, for they had all been waiting for Him.

nasb@Luke:8:41 @And there came a man named Jairus, and he was an official of the synagogue; and he fell at Jesus' feet, and began to implore Him to come to his house;

nasb@Luke:8:44 @came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak, and immediately her hemorrhage stopped.

nasb@Luke:8:45 @And Jesus said, "Who is the one who touched Me?" And while they were all denying it, Peter said, " Master, the people are crowding and pressing in on You."

nasb@Luke:8:46 @But Jesus said, "Someone did touch Me, for I was aware that power had gone out of Me."

nasb@Luke:8:47 @When the woman saw that she had not escaped notice, she came trembling and fell down before Him, and declared in the presence of all the people the reason why she had touched Him, and how she had been immediately healed.

nasb@Luke:8:49 @While He was still speaking, someone came from the house of the synagogue official, saying, "Your daughter has died; do not trouble the Teacher anymore."

nasb@Luke:8:51 @When He came to the house, He did not allow anyone to enter with Him, except Peter and John and James, and the girl's father and mother.

nasb@Luke:8:52 @Now they were all weeping and lamenting for her; but He said, "Stop weeping, for she has not died, but is asleep."

nasb@Luke:8:55 @And her spirit returned, and she got up immediately; and He gave orders for something to be given her to eat.

nasb@Luke:9:7 @Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was happening; and he was greatly perplexed, because it was said by some that John had risen from the dead,

nasb@Luke:9:8 @and by some that Elijah had appeared, and by others that one of the prophets of old had risen again.

nasb@Luke:9:12 @Now the day was ending, and the twelve came and said to Him, "Send the crowd away, that they may go into the surrounding villages and countryside and find lodging and get something to eat; for here we are in a desolate place."

nasb@Luke:9:13 @But He said to them, "You give them something to eat!" And they said, "We have no more than five loaves and two fish, unless perhaps we go and buy food for all these people."

nasb@Luke:9:14 @(For there were about five thousand men.) And He said to His disciples, "Have them sit down to eat in groups of about fifty each."

nasb@Luke:9:23 @And He was saying to them all, " If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

nasb@Luke:9:26" @ For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

nasb@Luke:9:27" @But I say to you truthfully, there are some of those standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God."

nasb@Luke:9:28 @Some eight days after these sayings, He took along Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray.

nasb@Luke:9:29 @And while He was praying, the appearance of His face became different, and His clothing became white and gleaming.

nasb@Luke:9:30 @And behold, two men were talking with Him; and they were Moses and Elijah,

nasb@Luke:9:32 @Now Peter and his companions had been overcome with sleep; but when they were fully awake, they saw His glory and the two men standing with Him.

nasb@Luke:9:34 @While he was saying this, a cloud formed and began to overshadow them; and they were afraid as they entered the cloud.

nasb@Luke:9:35 @Then a voice came out of the cloud, saying, " This is My Son, My Chosen One; listen to Him!"

nasb@Luke:9:37 @On the next day, when they came down from the mountain, a large crowd met Him.

nasb@Luke:9:42 @While he was still approaching, the demon slammed him to the ground and threw him into a convulsion. But Jesus rebuked the unclean spirit, and healed the boy and gave him back to his father.

nasb@Luke:9:44" @Let these words sink into your ears; for the Son of Man is going to be delivered into the hands of men."

nasb@Luke:9:45 @But they did not understand this statement, and it was concealed from them so that they would not perceive it; and they were afraid to ask Him about this statement.

nasb@Luke:9:46 @An argument started among them as to which of them might be the greatest.

nasb@Luke:9:48 @and said to them, " Whoever receives this child in My name receives Me, and whoever receives Me receives Him who sent Me; for the one who is least among all of you, this is the one who is great."

nasb@Luke:9:49 @John answered and said, " Master, we saw someone casting out demons in Your name; and we tried to prevent him because he does not follow along with us."

nasb@Luke:9:52 @and He sent messengers on ahead of Him, and they went and entered a village of the Samaritans to make arrangements for Him.

nasb@Luke:9:54 @When His disciples James and John saw this, they said, "Lord, do You want us to command fire to come down from heaven and consume them?"

nasb@Luke:9:56 @for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them."] And they went on to another village.

nasb@Luke:9:57 @As they were going along the road, someone said to Him, "I will follow You wherever You go."

nasb@Luke:9:59 @And He said to another, " Follow Me." But he said, "Lord, permit me first to go and bury my father."

nasb@Luke:9:61 @Another also said, "I will follow You, Lord; but first permit me to say good-bye to those at home."

nasb@Luke:10:1 @Now after this the Lord appointed seventy others, and sent them in pairs ahead of Him to every city and place where He Himself was going to come.

nasb@Luke:10:9 @and heal those in it who are sick, and say to them, ' The kingdom of God has come near to you.'

nasb@Luke:10:11 @' Even the dust of your city which clings to our feet we wipe off in protest against you; yet be sure of this, that the kingdom of God has come near.'

nasb@Luke:10:13" @ Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles had been performed in Tyre and Sidon which occurred in you, they would have repented long ago, sitting in sackcloth and ashes.

nasb@Luke:10:14" @But it will be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon in the judgment than for you.

nasb@Luke:10:16" @ The one who listens to you listens to Me, and the one who rejects you rejects Me; and he who rejects Me rejects the One who sent Me."

nasb@Luke:10:17 @The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name."

nasb@Luke:10:20" @Nevertheless do not rejoice in this, that the spirits are subject to you, but rejoice that your names are recorded in heaven."

nasb@Luke:10:21 @At that very time He rejoiced greatly in the Holy Spirit, and said, "I praise You, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants. Yes, Father, for this way was well-pleasing in Your sight.

nasb@Luke:10:22" @ All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him."

nasb@Luke:10:32" @Likewise a Levite also, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side.

nasb@Luke:10:33" @But a Samaritan, who was on a journey, came upon him; and when he saw him, he felt compassion,

nasb@Luke:10:34 @and came to him and bandaged up his wounds, pouring oil and wine on them; and he put him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn and took care of him.

nasb@Luke:10:37 @And he said, "The one who showed mercy toward him." Then Jesus said to him, "Go and do the same."

nasb@Luke:10:38 @Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.

nasb@Luke:10:40 @But Martha was distracted with all her preparations; and she came up to Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me."

nasb@Luke:11:2 @And He said to them, " When you pray, say- ' Father, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come.

nasb@Luke:11:27 @While Jesus was saying these things, one of the women in the crowd raised her voice and said to Him, " Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at which You nursed."

nasb@Luke:11:9 @but he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.

nasb@Luke:11:10" @ And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man, it will be forgiven him; but he who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit, it will not be forgiven him.

nasb@Luke:11:13 @Someone in the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family inheritance with me."

nasb@Luke:11:14 @But He said to him, " Man, who appointed Me a judge or arbitrator over you?"

nasb@Luke:11:19 @'And I will say to my soul, "Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years to come; take your ease, eat, drink and be merry."'

nasb@Luke:11:28" @But if God so clothes the grass in the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the furnace, how much more will He clothe you? You men of little faith!

nasb@Luke:11:33" @ Sell your possessions and give to charity; make yourselves money belts which do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near nor moth destroys.

nasb@Luke:11:36" @Be like men who are waiting for their master when he returns from the wedding feast, so that they may immediately open the door to him when he comes and knocks.

nasb@Luke:11:37" @Blessed are those slaves whom the master will find on the alert when he comes; truly I say to you, that he will gird himself to serve, and have them recline at the table, and will come up and wait on them.

nasb@Luke:11:38" @ Whether he comes in the second watch, or even in the third, and finds them so, blessed are those slaves.

nasb@Luke:11:42 @And the Lord said, " Who then is the faithful and sensible steward, whom his master will put in charge of his servants, to give them their rations at the proper time?

nasb@Luke:11:43" @Blessed is that slave whom his master finds so doing when he comes.

nasb@Luke:11:45" @But if that slave says in his heart, 'My master will be a long time in coming,' and begins to beat the slaves, both men and women, and to eat and drink and get drunk;

nasb@Luke:11:46 @the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not know, and will cut him in pieces, and assign him a place with the unbelievers.

nasb@Luke:11:49" @I have come to cast fire upon the earth; and how I wish it were already kindled!

nasb@Luke:11:51" @ Do you suppose that I came to grant peace on earth? I tell you, no, but rather division;

nasb@Luke:11:52 @for from now on five members in one household will be divided, three against two and two against three.

nasb@Luke:11:54 @And He was also saying to the crowds, " When you see a cloud rising in the west, immediately you say, 'A shower is coming,' and so it turns out.

nasb@Luke:11:56" @You hypocrites! You know how to analyze the appearance of the earth and the sky, but why do you not analyze this present time?

nasb@Luke:12:1 @Now on the same occasion there were some present who reported to Him about the Galileans whose blood Pilate had mixed with their sacrifices.

nasb@Luke:12:4" @Or do you suppose that those eighteen on whom the tower in Siloam fell and killed them were worse culprits than all the men who live in Jerusalem?

nasb@Luke:12:6 @And He began telling this parable- "A man had a fig tree which had been planted in his vineyard; and he came looking for fruit on it and did not find any.

nasb@Luke:12:7" @And he said to the vineyard-keeper, 'Behold, for three years I have come looking for fruit on this fig tree without finding any. Cut it down! Why does it even use up the ground?'

nasb@Luke:12:13 @And He laid His hands on her; and immediately she was made erect again and began glorifying God.

nasb@Luke:12:14 @But the synagogue official, indignant because Jesus had healed on the Sabbath, began saying to the crowd in response, " There are six days in which work should be done; so come during them and get healed, and not on the Sabbath day."

nasb@Luke:12:19" @It is like a mustard seed, which a man took and threw into his own garden; and it grew and became a tree, and THE BIRDS OF THE AIR NESTED IN ITS BRANCHES."

nasb@Luke:12:23 @And someone said to Him, "Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?" And He said to them,

nasb@Luke:12:27 @and He will say, 'I tell you, I do not know where you are from; DEPART FROM ME, ALL YOU EVILDOERS.'

nasb@Luke:12:29" @And they will come from east and west and from north and south, and will recline at the table in the kingdom of God.

nasb@Luke:12:30" @And behold, some are last who will be first and some are first who will be last."

nasb@Luke:12:31 @Just at that time some Pharisees approached, saying to Him, "Go away, leave here, for Herod wants to kill You."

nasb@Luke:12:35" @Behold, your house is left to you desolate; and I say to you, you will not see Me until the time comes when you say, ' BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD!'"

nasb@Luke:13:5 @And He said to them, " Which one of you will have a son or an ox fall into a well, and will not immediately pull him out on a Sabbath day?"

nasb@Luke:13:8" @When you are invited by someone to a wedding feast, do not take the place of honor, for someone more distinguished than you may have been invited by him,

nasb@Luke:13:9 @and he who invited you both will come and say to you, 'Give your place to this man,' and then in disgrace you proceed to occupy the last place.

nasb@Luke:13:10" @But when you are invited, go and recline at the last place, so that when the one who has invited you comes, he may say to you, 'Friend, move up higher'; then you will have honor in the sight of all who are at the table with you.

nasb@Luke:13:12 @And He also went on to say to the one who had invited Him, "When you give a luncheon or a dinner, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, otherwise they may also invite you in return and that will be your repayment.

nasb@Luke:13:13" @But when you give a reception, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind,

nasb@Luke:13:14 @and you will be blessed, since they do not have the means to repay you; for you will be repaid at the resurrection of the righteous."

nasb@Luke:13:17 @and at the dinner hour he sent his slave to say to those who had been invited, 'Come; for everything is ready now.'

nasb@Luke:13:18" @But they all alike began to make excuses. The first one said to him, 'I have bought a piece of land and I need to go out and look at it; please consider me excused.'

nasb@Luke:13:19" @Another one said, 'I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to try them out; please consider me excused.'

nasb@Luke:13:20" @Another one said, ' I have married a wife, and for that reason I cannot come.'

nasb@Luke:13:21" @And the slave came back and reported this to his master. Then the head of the household became angry and said to his slave, 'Go out at once into the streets and lanes of the city and bring in here the poor and crippled and blind and lame.'

nasb@Luke:13:23" @And the master said to the slave, 'Go out into the highways and along the hedges, and compel them to come in, so that my house may be filled.

nasb@Luke:13:24 @'For I tell you, none of those men who were invited shall taste of my dinner.'"

nasb@Luke:13:26" @ If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple.

nasb@Luke:13:27" @Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

nasb@Luke:13:31" @Or what king, when he sets out to meet another king in battle, will not first sit down and consider whether he is strong enough with ten thousand men to encounter the one coming against him with twenty thousand?

nasb@Luke:13:34" @Therefore, salt is good; but if even salt has become tasteless, with what will it be seasoned?

nasb@Luke:14:6" @And when he comes home, he calls together his friends and his neighbors, saying to them, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found my sheep which was lost!'

nasb@Luke:14:7" @I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

nasb@Luke:14:9" @When she has found it, she calls together her friends and neighbors, saying, 'Rejoice with me, for I have found the coin which I had lost!'

nasb@Luke:14:10" @In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."

nasb@Luke:14:12" @The younger of them said to his father, 'Father, give me the share of the estate that falls to me.' So he divided his wealth between them.

nasb@Luke:14:17" @But when he came to his senses, he said, 'How many of my father's hired men have more than enough bread, but I am dying here with hunger!

nasb@Luke:14:19 @I am no longer worthy to be called your son; make me as one of your hired men."'

nasb@Luke:14:20" @So he got up and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion for him, and ran and embraced him and kissed him.

nasb@Luke:14:24 @for this son of mine was dead and has come to life again; he was lost and has been found.' And they began to celebrate.

nasb@Luke:14:25" @Now his older son was in the field, and when he came and approached the house, he heard music and dancing.

nasb@Luke:14:27" @And he said to him, 'Your brother has come, and your father has killed the fattened calf because he has received him back safe and sound.'

nasb@Luke:14:28" @But he became angry and was not willing to go in; and his father came out and began pleading with him.

nasb@Luke:14:29" @But he answered and said to his father, 'Look! For so many years I have been serving you and I have never neglected a command of yours; and yet you have never given me a young goat, so that I might celebrate with my friends;

nasb@Luke:14:30 @but when this son of yours came, who has devoured your wealth with prostitutes, you killed the fattened calf for him.'

nasb@Luke:14:31" @And he said to him, 'Son, you have always been with me, and all that is mine is yours.

nasb@Luke:14:2" @And he called him and said to him, 'What is this I hear about you? Give an accounting of your management, for you can no longer be manager.'

nasb@Luke:14:3" @The manager said to himself, 'What shall I do, since my master is taking the management away from me? I am not strong enough to dig; I am ashamed to beg.

nasb@Luke:14:4 @'I know what I shall do, so that when I am removed from the management people will welcome me into their homes.'

nasb@Luke:14:6" @And he said, 'A hundred measures of oil.' And he said to him, 'Take your bill, and sit down quickly and write fifty.'

nasb@Luke:14:7" @Then he said to another, 'And how much do you owe?' And he said, 'A hundred measures of wheat.' He said to him, 'Take your bill, and write eighty.'

nasb@Luke:14:9" @And I say to you, make friends for yourselves by means of the wealth of unrighteousness, so that when it fails, they will receive you into the eternal dwellings.

nasb@Luke:14:15 @And He said to them, "You are those who justify yourselves in the sight of men, but God knows your hearts; for that which is highly esteemed among men is detestable in the sight of God.

nasb@Luke:14:16" @ The Law and the Prophets were proclaimed until John; since that time the gospel of the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is forcing his way into it.

nasb@Luke:14:20" @And a poor man named Lazarus was laid at his gate, covered with sores,

nasb@Luke:14:23" @In Hades he lifted up his eyes, being in torment, and saw Abraham far away and Lazarus in his bosom.

nasb@Luke:14:24" @And he cried out and said, ' Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus so that he may dip the tip of his finger in water and cool off my tongue, for I am in agony in this flame.'

nasb@Luke:14:25" @But Abraham said, 'Child, remember that during your life you received your good things, and likewise Lazarus bad things; but now he is being comforted here, and you are in agony.

nasb@Luke:14:26 @'And besides all this, between us and you there is a great chasm fixed, so that those who wish to come over from here to you will not be able, and that none may cross over from there to us.'

nasb@Luke:14:28 @for I have five brothers--in order that he may warn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.'

nasb@Luke:14:30" @But he said, 'No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent!'

nasb@Luke:14:31" @But he said to him, 'If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be persuaded even if someone rises from the dead.'"

nasb@Luke:14:17 @He said to His disciples, " It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come!

nasb@Luke:14:4" @And if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, 'I repent,' forgive him."

nasb@Luke:14:7" @Which of you, having a slave plowing or tending sheep, will say to him when he has come in from the field, 'Come immediately and sit down to eat'?

nasb@Luke:14:8" @But will he not say to him, ' Prepare something for me to eat, and properly clothe yourself and serve me while I eat and drink; and afterward you may eat and drink'?

nasb@Luke:14:12 @As He entered a village, ten leprous men who stood at a distance met Him;

nasb@Luke:14:13 @and they raised their voices, saying, "Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!"

nasb@Luke:14:22 @And He said to the disciples, " The days will come when you will long to see one of the days of the Son of Man, and you will not see it.

nasb@Luke:14:27 @they were eating, they were drinking, they were marrying, they were being given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all.

nasb@Luke:14:28" @It was the same as happened in the days of Lot- they were eating, they were drinking, they were buying, they were selling, they were planting, they were building;

nasb@Luke:14:30" @It will be just the same on the day that the Son of Man is revealed.

nasb@Luke:14:32" @ Remember Lot's wife.

nasb@Luke:14:35" @ There will be two women grinding at the same place; one will be taken and the other will be left.

nasb@Luke:14:36 @[" Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other will be left."]

nasb@Luke:15:1 @Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart,

nasb@Luke:15:3" @There was a widow in that city, and she kept coming to him, saying, 'Give me legal protection from my opponent.'

nasb@Luke:15:5 @yet because this widow bothers me, I will give her legal protection, otherwise by continually coming she will wear me out.'"

nasb@Luke:15:8" @I tell you that He will bring about justice for them quickly. However, when the Son of Man comes, will He find faith on the earth?"

nasb@Luke:15:9 @And He also told this parable to some people who trusted in themselves that they were righteous, and viewed others with contempt-

nasb@Luke:15:10" @Two men went up into the temple to pray, one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector.

nasb@Luke:15:13" @But the tax collector, standing some distance away, was even unwilling to lift up his eyes to heaven, but was beating his breast, saying, 'God, be merciful to me, the sinner!'

nasb@Luke:15:16 @But Jesus called for them, saying, "Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.

nasb@Luke:15:19 @And Jesus said to him, "Why do you call Me good? No one is good except God alone.

nasb@Luke:15:20" @You know the commandments, ' DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, DO NOT MURDER, DO NOT STEAL, DO NOT BEAR FALSE WITNESS, HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER.'"

nasb@Luke:15:22 @When Jesus heard this, He said to him, "One thing you still lack; sell all that you possess and distribute it to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me."

nasb@Luke:15:23 @But when he had heard these things, he became very sad, for he was extremely rich.

nasb@Luke:15:25" @For it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."

nasb@Luke:15:28 @Peter said, "Behold, we have left our own homes and followed You."

nasb@Luke:15:30 @who will not receive many times as much at this time and in the age to come, eternal life."

nasb@Luke:15:34 @But the disciples understood none of these things, and the meaning of this statement was hidden from them, and they did not comprehend the things that were said.

nasb@Luke:15:38 @And he called out, saying, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"

nasb@Luke:15:39 @Those who led the way were sternly telling him to be quiet; but he kept crying out all the more, " Son of David, have mercy on me!"

nasb@Luke:15:40 @And Jesus stopped and commanded that he be brought to Him; and when he came near, He questioned him,

nasb@Luke:15:41" @What do you want Me to do for you?" And he said, "Lord, I want to regain my sight!"

nasb@Luke:15:43 @Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him, glorifying God; and when all the people saw it, they gave praise to God.

nasb@Luke:16:2 @And there was a man called by the name of Zaccheus; he was a chief tax collector and he was rich.

nasb@Luke:16:5 @When Jesus came to the place, He looked up and said to him, "Zaccheus, hurry and come down, for today I must stay at your house."

nasb@Luke:16:6 @And he hurried and came down and received Him gladly.

nasb@Luke:16:8 @Zaccheus stopped and said to the Lord, "Behold, Lord, half of my possessions I will give to the poor, and if I have defrauded anyone of anything, I will give back four times as much."

nasb@Luke:16:9 @And Jesus said to him, "Today salvation has come to this house, because he, too, is a son of Abraham.

nasb@Luke:16:10" @For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save that which was lost."

nasb@Luke:16:11 @While they were listening to these things, Jesus went on to tell a parable, because He was near Jerusalem, and they supposed that the kingdom of God was going to appear immediately.

nasb@Luke:16:13" @And he called ten of his slaves, and gave them ten minas and said to them, 'Do business with this until I come back.'

nasb@Luke:16:18" @The second came, saying, 'Your mina, master, has made five minas.'

nasb@Luke:16:20" @Another came, saying, 'Master, here is your mina, which I kept put away in a handkerchief;

nasb@Luke:16:23 @'Then why did you not put my money in the bank, and having come, I would have collected it with interest?'

nasb@Luke:16:27" @But these enemies of mine, who did not want me to reign over them, bring them here and slay them in my presence."

nasb@Luke:16:38 @shouting- " BLESSED IS THE KING WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD; Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!"

nasb@Luke:16:39 @Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Him, "Teacher, rebuke Your disciples."

nasb@Luke:16:40 @But Jesus answered, "I tell you, if these become silent, the stones will cry out!"

nasb@Luke:16:43" @For the days will come upon you when your enemies will throw up a barricade against you, and surround you and hem you in on every side,

nasb@Luke:16:44 @and they will level you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave in you one stone upon another, because you did not recognize the time of your visitation."

nasb@Luke:16:47 @And He was teaching daily in the temple; but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people were trying to destroy Him,

nasb@Luke:17:3 @Jesus answered and said to them, "I will also ask you a question, and you tell Me-

nasb@Luke:17:4" @Was the baptism of John from heaven or from men?"

nasb@Luke:17:6" @But if we say, 'From men,' all the people will stone us to death, for they are convinced that John was a prophet."

nasb@Luke:17:7 @So they answered that they did not know where it came from.

nasb@Luke:17:9 @And He began to tell the people this parable- "A man planted a vineyard and rented it out to vine-growers, and went on a journey for a long time.

nasb@Luke:17:10" @At the harvest time he sent a slave to the vine-growers, so that they would give him some of the produce of the vineyard; but the vine-growers beat him and sent him away empty-handed.

nasb@Luke:17:11" @And he proceeded to send another slave; and they beat him also and treated him shamefully and sent him away empty-handed.

nasb@Luke:17:16" @He will come and destroy these vine-growers and will give the vineyard to others." When they heard it, they said, " May it never be!"

nasb@Luke:17:17 @But Jesus looked at them and said, "What then is this that is written- ' THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE CHIEF CORNER stone'?

nasb@Luke:17:18" @ Everyone who falls on that stone will be broken to pieces; but on whomever it falls, it will scatter him like dust."

nasb@Luke:17:20 @So they watched Him, and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, in order that they might catch Him in some statement, so that they could deliver Him to the rule and the authority of the governor.

nasb@Luke:17:24" @Show Me a denarius. Whose likeness and inscription does it have?" They said, "Caesar's."

nasb@Luke:17:26 @And they were unable to catch Him in a saying in the presence of the people; and being amazed at His answer, they became silent.

nasb@Luke:17:27 @Now there came to Him some of the Sadducees (who say that there is no resurrection),

nasb@Luke:17:31 @and the third married her; and in the same way all seven died, leaving no children.

nasb@Luke:17:39 @Some of the scribes answered and said, "Teacher, You have spoken well."

nasb@Luke:18:5 @And while some were talking about the temple, that it was adorned with beautiful stones and votive gifts, He said,

nasb@Luke:18:6" @As for these things which you are looking at, the days will come in which there will not be left one stone upon another which will not be torn down."

nasb@Luke:18:8 @And He said, "See to it that you are not misled; for many will come in My name, saying, ' I am He,' and, 'The time is near.' Do not go after them.

nasb@Luke:18:9" @When you hear of wars and disturbances, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end does not follow immediately."

nasb@Luke:18:12" @But before all these things, they will lay their hands on you and will persecute you, delivering you to the synagogues and prisons, bringing you before kings and governors for My name's sake.

nasb@Luke:18:16" @But you will be betrayed even by parents and brothers and relatives and friends, and they will put some of you to death,

nasb@Luke:18:17 @and you will be hated by all because of My name.

nasb@Luke:18:24 @and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles are fulfilled.

nasb@Luke:18:26 @men fainting from fear and the expectation of the things which are coming upon the world; for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.

nasb@Luke:18:30 @as soon as they put forth leaves, you see it and know for yourselves that summer is now near.

nasb@Luke:18:34" @ Be on guard, so that your hearts will not be weighted down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of life, and that day will not come on you suddenly like a trap;

nasb@Luke:18:35 @for it will come upon all those who dwell on the face of all the earth.

nasb@Luke:18:36" @But keep on the alert at all times, praying that you may have strength to escape all these things that are about to take place, and to stand before the Son of Man."

nasb@Luke:18:38 @And all the people would get up early in the morning to come to Him in the temple to listen to Him.

nasb@Luke:19:7 @Then came the first day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed.

nasb@Luke:19:10 @And He said to them, "When you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house that he enters.

nasb@Luke:19:14 @When the hour had come, He reclined at the table, and the apostles with Him.

nasb@Luke:19:18 @for I say to you, I will not drink of the fruit of the vine from now on until the kingdom of God comes."

nasb@Luke:19:19 @And when He had taken some bread and given thanks, He broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is My body which is given for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

nasb@Luke:19:20 @And in the same way He took the cup after they had eaten, saying, "This cup which is poured out for you is the new covenant in My blood.

nasb@Luke:19:21" @ But behold, the hand of the one betraying Me is with Mine on the table.

nasb@Luke:19:26" @But it is not this way with you, but the one who is the greatest among you must become like the youngest, and the leader like the servant.

nasb@Luke:19:28" @You are those who have stood by Me in My trials;

nasb@Luke:19:29 @and just as My Father has granted Me a kingdom, I grant you

nasb@Luke:19:34 @And He said, "I say to you, Peter, the rooster will not crow today until you have denied three times that you know Me."

nasb@Luke:19:37" @For I tell you that this which is written must be fulfilled in Me, ' AND HE WAS NUMBERED WITH TRANSGRESSORS'; for that which refers to Me has its fulfillment."

nasb@Luke:19:39 @And He came out and proceeded as was His custom to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed Him.

nasb@Luke:19:42 @saying, "Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done."

nasb@Luke:19:44 @And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.

nasb@Luke:19:45 @When He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow,

nasb@Luke:19:47 @While He was still speaking, behold, a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was preceding them; and he approached Jesus to kiss Him.

nasb@Luke:19:52 @Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against a robber?

nasb@Luke:19:53" @While I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but this hour and the power of darkness are yours."

nasb@Luke:19:60 @But Peter said, "Man, I do not know what you are talking about." Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.

nasb@Luke:19:61 @The Lord turned and looked at Peter. And Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how He had told him, " Before a rooster crows today, you will deny Me three times."

nasb@Luke:19:63 @Now the men who were holding Jesus in custody were mocking Him and beating Him,

nasb@Luke:20:7 @And when he learned that He belonged to Herod's jurisdiction, he sent Him to Herod, who himself also was in Jerusalem at that time.

nasb@Luke:20:8 @Now Herod was very glad when he saw Jesus; for he had wanted to see Him for a long time, because he had been hearing about Him and was hoping to see some sign performed by Him.

nasb@Luke:20:9 @And he questioned Him at some length; but He answered him nothing.

nasb@Luke:20:10 @And the chief priests and the scribes were standing there, accusing Him vehemently.

nasb@Luke:20:12 @Now Herod and Pilate became friends with one another that very day; for before they had been enemies with each other.

nasb@Luke:20:14 @and said to them, "You brought this man to me as one who incites the people to rebellion, and behold, having examined Him before you, I have found no guilt in this man regarding the charges which you make against Him.

nasb@Luke:20:22 @And he said to them the third time, "Why, what evil has this man done? I have found in Him no guilt demanding death; therefore I will punish Him and release Him."

nasb@Luke:20:27 @And following Him was a large crowd of the people, and of women who were mourning and lamenting Him.

nasb@Luke:20:28 @But Jesus turning to them said, "Daughters of Jerusalem, stop weeping for Me, but weep for yourselves and for your children.

nasb@Luke:20:33 @When they came to the place called The Skull, there they crucified Him and the criminals, one on the right and the other on the left.

nasb@Luke:20:34 @But Jesus was saying, " Father, forgive them; for they do not know what they are doing." And they cast lots, dividing up His garments among themselves.

nasb@Luke:20:40 @But the other answered, and rebuking him said, "Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation?

nasb@Luke:20:42 @And he was saying, "Jesus, remember me when You come in Your kingdom!"

nasb@Luke:20:43 @And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise."

nasb@Luke:20:48 @And all the crowds who came together for this spectacle, when they observed what had happened, began to return, beating their breasts.

nasb@Luke:20:49 @And all His acquaintances and the women who accompanied Him from Galilee were standing at a distance, seeing these things.

nasb@Luke:20:50 @And a man named Joseph, who was a member of the Council, a good and righteous man

nasb@Luke:20:55 @Now the women who had come with Him out of Galilee followed, and saw the tomb and how His body was laid.

nasb@Luke:20:56 @Then they returned and prepared spices and perfumes. And on the Sabbath they rested according to the commandment.

nasb@Luke:21:1 @But on the first day of the week, at early dawn, they came to the tomb bringing the spices which they had prepared.

nasb@Luke:21:4 @While they were perplexed about this, behold, two men suddenly stood near them in dazzling clothing;

nasb@Luke:21:5 @and as the women were terrified and bowed their faces to the ground, the men said to them, "Why do you seek the living One among the dead?

nasb@Luke:21:6" @He is not here, but He has risen. Remember how He spoke to you while He was still in Galilee,

nasb@Luke:21:7 @saying that the Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again."

nasb@Luke:21:8 @And they remembered His words,

nasb@Luke:21:10 @Now they were Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James; also the other women with them were telling these things to the apostles.

nasb@Luke:21:12 @But Peter got up and ran to the tomb; stooping and looking in, he saw the linen wrappings only; and he went away to his home, marveling at what had happened.

nasb@Luke:21:13 @And behold, two of them were going that very day to a village named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

nasb@Luke:21:18 @One of them, named Cleopas, answered and said to Him, "Are You the only one visiting Jerusalem and unaware of the things which have happened here in these days?"

nasb@Luke:21:22" @But also some women among us amazed us. When they were at the tomb early in the morning,

nasb@Luke:21:23 @and did not find His body, they came, saying that they had also seen a vision of angels who said that He was alive.

nasb@Luke:21:24" @Some of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just exactly as the women also had said; but Him they did not see."

nasb@Luke:21:25 @And He said to them, "O foolish men and slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken!

nasb@Luke:21:39" @ See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself; touch Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have."

nasb@Luke:21:41 @While they still could not believe it because of their joy and amazement, He said to them, " Have you anything here to eat?"

nasb@Luke:21:44 @Now He said to them, " These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled."

nasb@Luke:21:47 @and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

nasb@John:1:3 @All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being.

nasb@John:1:4 @In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men.

nasb@John:1:6 @There came a man sent from God, whose name was John.

nasb@John:1:7 @He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him.

nasb@John:1:8 @He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.

nasb@John:1:11 @He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him.

nasb@John:1:12 @But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name,

nasb@John:1:14 @And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth.

nasb@John:1:15 @John testified about Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, ' He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'"

nasb@John:1:18 @No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.

nasb@John:1:27" @It is He who comes after me, the thong of whose sandal I am not worthy to untie."

nasb@John:1:30" @This is He on behalf of whom I said, ' After me comes a Man who has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'

nasb@John:1:31" @I did not recognize Him, but so that He might be manifested to Israel, I came baptizing in water."

nasb@John:1:33" @I did not recognize Him, but He who sent me to baptize in water said to me, 'He upon whom you see the Spirit descending and remaining upon Him, this is the One who baptizes in the Holy Spirit.'

nasb@John:1:38 @And Jesus turned and saw them following, and said to them, "What do you seek?" They said to Him, " Rabbi (which translated means Teacher), where are You staying?"

nasb@John:1:39 @He said to them, "Come, and you will see." So they came and saw where He was staying; and they stayed with Him that day, for it was about the tenth hour.

nasb@John:1:41 @He found first his own brother Simon and said to him, "We have found the Messiah" (which translated means Christ).

nasb@John:1:43 @The next day He purposed to go into Galilee, and He found Philip. And Jesus said to him, " Follow Me."

nasb@John:1:46 @Nathanael said to him, " Can any good thing come out of Nazareth?" Philip said to him, "Come and see."

nasb@John:1:48 @Nathanael said to Him, "How do You know me?" Jesus answered and said to him, "Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you."

nasb@John:2:4 @And Jesus said to her, " Woman, what does that have to do with us? My hour has not yet come."

nasb@John:2:8 @And He said to them, "Draw some out now and take it to the headwaiter." So they took it to him.

nasb@John:2:9 @When the headwaiter tasted the water which had become wine, and did not know where it came from (but the servants who had drawn the water knew), the headwaiter called the bridegroom,

nasb@John:2:17 @His disciples remembered that it was written, " ZEAL FOR YOUR HOUSE WILL CONSUME ME."

nasb@John:2:22 @So when He was raised from the dead, His disciples remembered that He said this; and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had spoken.

nasb@John:2:23 @Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, during the feast, many believed in His name, observing His signs which He was doing.

nasb@John:2:24 @But Jesus, on His part, was not entrusting Himself to them, for He knew all men,

nasb@John:3:1 @Now there was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews;

nasb@John:3:2 @this man came to Jesus by night and said to Him, " Rabbi, we know that You have come from God as a teacher; for no one can do these signs that You do unless God is with him."

nasb@John:3:4 @Nicodemus said to Him, "How can a man be born when he is old? He cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb and be born, can he?"

nasb@John:3:8" @ The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit."

nasb@John:3:18" @ He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

nasb@John:3:19" @This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

nasb@John:3:20" @ For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

nasb@John:3:21" @But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God."

nasb@John:3:22 @After these things Jesus and His disciples came into the land of Judea, and there He was spending time with them and baptizing.

nasb@John:3:26 @And they came to John and said to him, " Rabbi, He who was with you beyond the Jordan, to whom you have testified, behold, He is baptizing and all are coming to Him."

nasb@John:3:31" @ He who comes from above is above all, he who is of the earth is from the earth and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all.

nasb@John:3:34" @For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for He gives the Spirit without measure.

nasb@John:4:5 @So He came to a city of Samaria called Sychar, near the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph;

nasb@John:4:7 @There came a woman of Samaria to draw water. Jesus said to her, "Give Me a drink."

nasb@John:4:9 @Therefore the Samaritan woman said to Him, "How is it that You, being a Jew, ask me for a drink since I am a Samaritan woman?" (For Jews have no dealings with Samaritans.)

nasb@John:4:10 @Jesus answered and said to her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is who says to you, 'Give Me a drink,' you would have asked Him, and He would have given you living water."

nasb@John:4:14 @but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

nasb@John:4:15 @The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw."

nasb@John:4:16 @He said to her, "Go, call your husband and come here."

nasb@John:4:20" @ Our fathers worshiped in this mountain, and you people say that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship."

nasb@John:4:21 @Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe Me, an hour is coming when neither in this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you worship the Father.

nasb@John:4:25 @The woman said to Him, "I know that Messiah is coming ( He who is called Christ); when that One comes, He will declare all things to us."

nasb@John:4:27 @At this point His disciples came, and they were amazed that He had been speaking with a woman, yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why do You speak with her?"

nasb@John:4:28 @So the woman left her waterpot, and went into the city and said to the men,

nasb@John:4:29" @Come, see a man who told me all the things that I have done; this is not the Christ, is it?"

nasb@John:4:31 @Meanwhile the disciples were urging Him, saying, " Rabbi, eat."

nasb@John:4:34 @Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.

nasb@John:4:35" @Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest.

nasb@John:4:39 @From that city many of the Samaritans believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, " He told me all the things that I have done."

nasb@John:4:40 @So when the Samaritans came to Jesus, they were asking Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

nasb@John:4:45 @So when He came to Galilee, the Galileans received Him, having seen all the things that He did in Jerusalem at the feast; for they themselves also went to the feast.

nasb@John:4:46 @Therefore He came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a royal official whose son was sick at Capernaum.

nasb@John:4:47 @When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and was imploring Him to come down and heal his son; for he was at the point of death.

nasb@John:4:49 @The royal official said to Him, "Sir, come down before my child dies."

nasb@John:4:51 @As he was now going down, his slaves met him, saying that his son was living.

nasb@John:4:54 @This is again a second sign that Jesus performed when He had come out of Judea into Galilee.

nasb@John:5:3 @In these lay a multitude of those who were sick, blind, lame, and withered, [ waiting for the moving of the waters;

nasb@John:5:6 @When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he had already been a long time in that condition, He said to him, "Do you wish to get well?"

nasb@John:5:7 @The sick man answered Him, "Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I am coming, another steps down before me."

nasb@John:5:9 @Immediately the man became well, and picked up his pallet and began to walk. Now it was the Sabbath on that day.

nasb@John:5:11 @But he answered them, "He who made me well was the one who said to me, 'Pick up your pallet and walk.'"

nasb@John:5:14 @Afterward Jesus found him in the temple and said to him, "Behold, you have become well; do not sin anymore, so that nothing worse happens to you."

nasb@John:5:19 @Therefore Jesus answered and was saying to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of Himself, unless it is something He sees the Father doing; for whatever the Father does, these things the Son also does in like manner.

nasb@John:5:22" @For not even the Father judges anyone, but He has given all judgment to the Son,

nasb@John:5:24" @Truly, truly, I say to you, he who hears My word, and believes Him who sent Me, has eternal life, and does not come into judgment, but has passed out of death into life.

nasb@John:5:27 @and He gave Him authority to execute judgment, because He is the Son of Man.

nasb@John:5:29 @and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment.

nasb@John:5:30" @ I can do nothing on My own initiative. As I hear, I judge; and My judgment is just, because I do not seek My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

nasb@John:5:32" @There is another who testifies of Me, and I know that the testimony which He gives about Me is true.

nasb@John:5:36" @But the testimony which I have is greater than the testimony of John; for the works which the Father has given Me to accomplish--the very works that I do--testify about Me, that the Father has sent Me.

nasb@John:5:37" @And the Father who sent Me, He has testified of Me. You have neither heard His voice at any time nor seen His form.

nasb@John:5:39" @ You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;

nasb@John:5:40 @and you are unwilling to come to Me so that you may have life.

nasb@John:5:41" @ I do not receive glory from men;

nasb@John:5:43" @I have come in My Father's name, and you do not receive Me; if another comes in his own name, you will receive him.

nasb@John:5:46" @For if you believed Moses, you would believe Me, for he wrote about Me.

nasb@John:6:10 @Jesus said, "Have the people sit down." Now there was much grass in the place. So the men sat down, in number about five thousand.

nasb@John:6:12 @When they were filled, He said to His disciples, "Gather up the leftover fragments so that nothing will be lost."

nasb@John:6:13 @So they gathered them up, and filled twelve baskets with fragments from the five barley loaves which were left over by those who had eaten.

nasb@John:6:14 @Therefore when the people saw the sign which He had performed, they said, "This is truly the Prophet who is to come into the world."

nasb@John:6:15 @So Jesus, perceiving that they were intending to come and take Him by force to make Him king, withdrew again to the mountain by Himself alone.

nasb@John:6:16 @Now when evening came, His disciples went down to the sea,

nasb@John:6:17 @and after getting into a boat, they started to cross the sea to Capernaum. It had already become dark, and Jesus had not yet come to them.

nasb@John:6:21 @So they were willing to receive Him into the boat, and immediately the boat was at the land to which they were going.

nasb@John:6:23 @There came other small boats from Tiberias near to the place where they ate the bread after the Lord had given thanks.

nasb@John:6:24 @So when the crowd saw that Jesus was not there, nor His disciples, they themselves got into the small boats, and came to Capernaum seeking Jesus.

nasb@John:6:26 @Jesus answered them and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, you seek Me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate of the loaves and were filled.

nasb@John:6:33" @For the bread of God is that which comes down out of heaven, and gives life to the world."

nasb@John:6:35 @Jesus said to them, " I am the bread of life; he who comes to Me will not hunger, and he who believes in Me will never thirst.

nasb@John:6:36" @But I said to you that you have seen Me, and yet do not believe.

nasb@John:6:37" @ All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out.

nasb@John:6:38" @For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but the will of Him who sent Me.

nasb@John:6:39" @This is the will of Him who sent Me, that of all that He has given Me I lose nothing, but raise it up on the last day.

nasb@John:6:41 @Therefore the Jews were grumbling about Him, because He said, "I am the bread that came down out of heaven."

nasb@John:6:42 @They were saying, " Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does He now say, ' I have come down out of heaven'?"

nasb@John:6:44" @No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day.

nasb@John:6:45" @It is written in the prophets, ' AND THEY SHALL ALL BE TAUGHT OF GOD.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father, comes to Me.

nasb@John:6:50" @This is the bread which comes down out of heaven, so that one may eat of it and not die.

nasb@John:6:51" @ I am the living bread that came down out of heaven; if anyone eats of this bread, he will live forever; and the bread also which I will give for the life of the world is My flesh."

nasb@John:6:56" @He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.

nasb@John:6:57" @As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father, so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me.

nasb@John:6:58" @This is the bread which came down out of heaven; not as the fathers ate and died; he who eats this bread will live forever."

nasb@John:6:60 @Therefore many of His disciples, when they heard this said, " This is a difficult statement; who can listen to it?"

nasb@John:6:64" @But there are some of you who do not believe." For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did not believe, and who it was that would betray Him.

nasb@John:6:65 @And He was saying, "For this reason I have said to you, that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted him from the Father."

nasb@John:6:69" @We have believed and have come to know that You are the Holy One of God."

nasb@John:6:71 @Now He meant Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the twelve, was going to betray Him.

nasb@John:7:6 @So Jesus said to them, " My time is not yet here, but your time is always opportune.

nasb@John:7:7" @ The world cannot hate you, but it hates Me because I testify of it, that its deeds are evil.

nasb@John:7:8" @Go up to the feast yourselves; I do not go up to this feast because My time has not yet fully come."

nasb@John:7:12 @There was much grumbling among the crowds concerning Him; some were saying, "He is a good man"; others were saying, "No, on the contrary, He leads the people astray."

nasb@John:7:15 @The Jews then were astonished, saying, "How has this man become learned, having never been educated?"

nasb@John:7:16 @So Jesus answered them and said, " My teaching is not Mine, but His who sent Me.

nasb@John:7:19" @ Did not Moses give you the Law, and yet none of you carries out the Law? Why do you seek to kill Me?"

nasb@John:7:23" @ If a man receives circumcision on the Sabbath so that the Law of Moses will not be broken, are you angry with Me because I made an entire man well on the Sabbath?

nasb@John:7:24" @Do not judge according to appearance, but judge with righteous judgment."

nasb@John:7:25 @So some of the people of Jerusalem were saying, "Is this not the man whom they are seeking to kill?

nasb@John:7:27" @However, we know where this man is from; but whenever the Christ may come, no one knows where He is from."

nasb@John:7:28 @Then Jesus cried out in the temple, teaching and saying, " You both know Me and know where I am from; and I have not come of Myself, but He who sent Me is true, whom you do not know.

nasb@John:7:29" @ I know Him, because I am from Him, and He sent Me."

nasb@John:7:30 @So they were seeking to seize Him; and no man laid his hand on Him, because His hour had not yet come.

nasb@John:7:31 @But many of the crowd believed in Him; and they were saying, " When the Christ comes, He will not perform more signs than those which this man has, will He?"

nasb@John:7:33 @Therefore Jesus said, " For a little while longer I am with you, then I go to Him who sent Me.

nasb@John:7:34" @ You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come."

nasb@John:7:36" @What is this statement that He said, ' You will seek Me, and will not find Me; and where I am, you cannot come'?"

nasb@John:7:37 @Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, " If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink.

nasb@John:7:38" @He who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, 'From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.'"

nasb@John:7:40 @Some of the people therefore, when they heard these words, were saying, "This certainly is the Prophet."

nasb@John:7:41 @Others were saying, "This is the Christ." Still others were saying, " Surely the Christ is not going to come from Galilee, is He?

nasb@John:7:42" @Has not the Scripture said that the Christ comes from the descendants of David, and from Bethlehem, the village where David was?"

nasb@John:7:44 @Some of them wanted to seize Him, but no one laid hands on Him.

nasb@John:7:45 @The officers then came to the chief priests and Pharisees, and they said to them, "Why did you not bring Him?"

nasb@John:7:50 @Nicodemus (he who came to Him before, being one of them) said to them,

nasb@John:7:53 @[ Everyone went to his home.

nasb@John:8:2 @Early in the morning He came again into the temple, and all the people were coming to Him; and He sat down and began to teach them.

nasb@John:8:5" @Now in the Law Moses commanded us to stone such women; what then do You say?"

nasb@John:8:12 @Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, " I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life."

nasb@John:8:14 @Jesus answered and said to them, " Even if I testify about Myself, My testimony is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.

nasb@John:8:16" @But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me.

nasb@John:8:17" @Even in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true.

nasb@John:8:18" @I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me."

nasb@John:8:19 @So they were saying to Him, "Where is Your Father?" Jesus answered, "You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also."

nasb@John:8:20 @These words He spoke in the treasury, as He taught in the temple; and no one seized Him, because His hour had not yet come.

nasb@John:8:21 @Then He said again to them, "I go away, and you will seek Me, and will die in your sin; where I am going, you cannot come."

nasb@John:8:22 @So the Jews were saying, "Surely He will not kill Himself, will He, since He says, ' Where I am going, you cannot come'?"

nasb@John:8:26" @I have many things to speak and to judge concerning you, but He who sent Me is true; and the things which I heard from Him, these I speak to the world."

nasb@John:8:28 @So Jesus said, "When you lift up the Son of Man, then you will know that I am He, and I do nothing on My own initiative, but I speak these things as the Father taught Me.

nasb@John:8:29" @And He who sent Me is with Me; He has not left Me alone, for I always do the things that are pleasing to Him."

nasb@John:8:30 @As He spoke these things, many came to believe in Him.

nasb@John:8:33 @They answered Him, " We are Abraham's descendants and have never yet been enslaved to anyone; how is it that You say, 'You will become free'?"

nasb@John:8:37" @I know that you are Abraham's descendants; yet you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you.

nasb@John:8:40" @But as it is, you are seeking to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth, which I heard from God; this Abraham did not do.

nasb@John:8:42 @Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love Me, for I proceeded forth and have come from God, for I have not even come on My own initiative, but He sent Me.

nasb@John:8:45" @But because I speak the truth, you do not believe Me.

nasb@John:8:46" @Which one of you convicts Me of sin? If I speak truth, why do you not believe Me?

nasb@John:8:49 @Jesus answered, "I do not have a demon; but I honor My Father, and you dishonor Me.

nasb@John:8:54 @Jesus answered, " If I glorify Myself, My glory is nothing; it is My Father who glorifies Me, of whom you say, 'He is our God';

nasb@John:8:55 @and you have not come to know Him, but I know Him; and if I say that I do not know Him, I will be a liar like you, but I do know Him and keep His word.

nasb@John:9:4" @We must work the works of Him who sent Me as long as it is day; night is coming when no one can work.

nasb@John:9:7 @and said to him, "Go, wash in the pool of Siloam" (which is translated, Sent). So he went away and washed, and came back seeing.

nasb@John:9:11 @He answered, "The man who is called Jesus made clay, and anointed my eyes, and said to me, 'Go to Siloam and wash'; so I went away and washed, and I received sight."

nasb@John:9:13 @They brought to the Pharisees the man who was formerly blind.

nasb@John:9:16 @Therefore some of the Pharisees were saying, "This man is not from God, because He does not keep the Sabbath." But others were saying, "How can a man who is a sinner perform such signs?" And there was a division among them.

nasb@John:9:24 @So a second time they called the man who had been blind, and said to him, " Give glory to God; we know that this man is a sinner."

nasb@John:9:27 @He answered them, " I told you already and you did not listen; why do you want to hear it again? You do not want to become His disciples too, do you?"

nasb@John:9:32" @Since the beginning of time it has never been heard that anyone opened the eyes of a person born blind.

nasb@John:9:39 @And Jesus said, " For judgment I came into this world, so that those who do not see may see, and that those who see may become blind."

nasb@John:9:10" @Truly, truly, I say to you, he who does not enter by the door into the fold of the sheep, but climbs up some other way, he is a thief and a robber.

nasb@John:9:3" @To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice, and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out.

nasb@John:9:8" @All who came before Me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not hear them.

nasb@John:9:9" @ I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.

nasb@John:9:10" @The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

nasb@John:9:14" @ I am the good shepherd, and I know My own and My own know Me,

nasb@John:9:15 @even as the Father knows Me and I know the Father; and I lay down My life for the sheep.

nasb@John:9:16" @I have other sheep, which are not of this fold; I must bring them also, and they will hear My voice; and they will become one flock with one shepherd.

nasb@John:9:17" @For this reason the Father loves Me, because I lay down My life so that I may take it again.

nasb@John:9:18" @ No one has taken it away from Me, but I lay it down on My own initiative. I have authority to lay it down, and I have authority to take it up again. This commandment I received from My Father."

nasb@John:9:22 @At that time the Feast of the Dedication took place at Jerusalem;

nasb@John:9:25 @Jesus answered them, " I told you, and you do not believe; the works that I do in My Father's name, these testify of Me.

nasb@John:9:27" @My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me;

nasb@John:9:29" @ My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of the Father's hand.

nasb@John:9:32 @Jesus answered them, "I showed you many good works from the Father; for which of them are you stoning Me?"

nasb@John:9:35" @If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Scripture cannot be broken),

nasb@John:9:37" @ If I do not do the works of My Father, do not believe Me;

nasb@John:9:38 @but if I do them, though you do not believe Me, believe the works, so that you may know and understand that the Father is in Me, and I in the Father."

nasb@John:9:41 @Many came to Him and were saying, "While John performed no sign, yet everything John said about this man was true."

nasb@John:10:2 @It was the Mary who anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped His feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.

nasb@John:10:17 @So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days.

nasb@John:10:19 @and many of the Jews had come to Martha and Mary, to console them concerning their brother.

nasb@John:10:20 @Martha therefore, when she heard that Jesus was coming, went to meet Him, but Mary stayed at the house.

nasb@John:10:25 @Jesus said to her, " I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,

nasb@John:10:26 @and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?"

nasb@John:10:27 @She said to Him, "Yes, Lord; I have believed that You are the Christ, the Son of God, even He who comes into the world."

nasb@John:10:30 @Now Jesus had not yet come into the village, but was still in the place where Martha met Him.

nasb@John:10:32 @Therefore, when Mary came where Jesus was, she saw Him, and fell at His feet, saying to Him, " Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."

nasb@John:10:33 @When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also weeping, He was deeply moved in spirit and was troubled,

nasb@John:10:34 @and said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to Him, "Lord, come and see."

nasb@John:10:37 @But some of them said, "Could not this man, who opened the eyes of the blind man, have kept this man also from dying?"

nasb@John:10:38 @So Jesus, again being deeply moved within, came to the tomb. Now it was a cave, and a stone was lying against it.

nasb@John:10:39 @Jesus said, "Remove the stone." Martha, the sister of the deceased, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there will be a stench, for he has been dead four days."

nasb@John:10:41 @So they removed the stone. Then Jesus raised His eyes, and said, " Father, I thank You that You have heard Me.

nasb@John:10:42" @I knew that You always hear Me; but because of the people standing around I said it, so that they may believe that You sent Me."

nasb@John:10:43 @When He had said these things, He cried out with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth."

nasb@John:10:44 @The man who had died came forth, bound hand and foot with wrappings, and his face was wrapped around with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."

nasb@John:10:45 @Therefore many of the Jews who came to Mary, and saw what He had done, believed in Him.

nasb@John:10:46 @But some of them went to the Pharisees and told them the things which Jesus had done.

nasb@John:10:48" @If we let Him go on like this, all men will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation."

nasb@John:10:56 @So they were seeking for Jesus, and were saying to one another as they stood in the temple, "What do you think; that He will not come to the feast at all?"

nasb@John:11:1 @Jesus, therefore, six days before the Passover, came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had raised from the dead.

nasb@John:11:3 @Mary then took a pound of very costly perfume of pure nard, and anointed the feet of Jesus and wiped His feet with her hair; and the house was filled with the fragrance of the perfume.

nasb@John:11:5" @Why was this perfume not sold for three hundred denarii and given to poor people?"

nasb@John:11:8" @ For you always have the poor with you, but you do not always have Me."

nasb@John:11:9 @The large crowd of the Jews then learned that He was there; and they came, not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might also see Lazarus, whom He raised from the dead.

nasb@John:11:12 @On the next day the large crowd who had come to the feast, when they heard that Jesus was coming to Jerusalem,

nasb@John:11:13 @took the branches of the palm trees and went out to meet Him, and began to shout, " Hosanna! BLESSED IS HE WHO COMES IN THE NAME OF THE LORD, even the King of Israel."

nasb@John:11:16 @These things His disciples did not understand at the first; but when Jesus was glorified, then they remembered that these things were written of Him, and that they had done these things to Him.

nasb@John:11:18 @For this reason also the people went and met Him, because they heard that He had performed this sign.

nasb@John:11:20 @Now there were some Greeks among those who were going up to worship at the feast;

nasb@John:11:21 @these then came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida of Galilee, and began to ask him, saying, "Sir, we wish to see Jesus."

nasb@John:11:22 @Philip came and told Andrew; Andrew and Philip came and told Jesus.

nasb@John:11:23 @And Jesus answered them, saying, " The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

nasb@John:11:26" @If anyone serves Me, he must follow Me; and where I am, there My servant will be also; if anyone serves Me, the Father will honor him.

nasb@John:11:27" @ Now My soul has become troubled; and what shall I say, ' Father, save Me from this hour'? But for this purpose I came to this hour.

nasb@John:11:28" @ Father, glorify Your name." Then a voice came out of heaven- "I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again."

nasb@John:11:30 @Jesus answered and said, " This voice has not come for My sake, but for your sakes.

nasb@John:11:31" @ Now judgment is upon this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out.

nasb@John:11:32" @And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to Myself."

nasb@John:11:36" @While you have the Light, believe in the Light, so that you may become sons of Light." These things Jesus spoke, and He went away and hid Himself from them.

nasb@John:11:37 @But though He had performed so many signs before them, yet they were not believing in Him.

nasb@John:11:43 @for they loved the approval of men rather than the approval of God.

nasb@John:11:44 @And Jesus cried out and said, " He who believes in Me, does not believe in Me but in Him who sent Me.

nasb@John:11:45" @ He who sees Me sees the One who sent Me.

nasb@John:11:46" @ I have come as Light into the world, so that everyone who believes in Me will not remain in darkness.

nasb@John:11:47" @If anyone hears My sayings and does not keep them, I do not judge him; for I did not come to judge the world, but to save the world.

nasb@John:11:48" @ He who rejects Me and does not receive My sayings, has one who judges him; the word I spoke is what will judge him at the last day.

nasb@John:11:49" @ For I did not speak on My own initiative, but the Father Himself who sent Me has given Me a commandment as to what to say and what to speak.

nasb@John:11:50" @I know that His commandment is eternal life; therefore the things I speak, I speak just as the Father has told Me."

nasb@John:12:1 @Now before the Feast of the Passover, Jesus knowing that His hour had come that He would depart out of this world to the Father, having loved His own who were in the world, He loved them to the end.

nasb@John:12:3 @Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into His hands, and that He had come forth from God and was going back to God,

nasb@John:12:4 @got up from supper, and laid aside His garments; and taking a towel, He girded Himself.

nasb@John:12:6 @So He came to Simon Peter. He said to Him, "Lord, do You wash my feet?"

nasb@John:12:8 @Peter said to Him, "Never shall You wash my feet!" Jesus answered him, " If I do not wash you, you have no part with Me."

nasb@John:12:12 @So when He had washed their feet, and taken His garments and reclined at the table again, He said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you?

nasb@John:12:13" @You call Me Teacher and Lord; and you are right, for so I am.

nasb@John:12:18" @ I do not speak of all of you. I know the ones I have chosen; but it is that the Scripture may be fulfilled, ' HE WHO EATS MY BREAD HAS LIFTED UP HIS HEEL AGAINST ME.'

nasb@John:12:19" @From now on I am telling you before it comes to pass, so that when it does occur, you may believe that I am He.

nasb@John:12:20" @Truly, truly, I say to you, he who receives whomever I send receives Me; and he who receives Me receives Him who sent Me."

nasb@John:12:21 @When Jesus had said this, He became troubled in spirit, and testified and said, "Truly, truly, I say to you, that one of you will betray Me."

nasb@John:12:29 @For some were supposing, because Judas had the money box, that Jesus was saying to him, "Buy the things we have need of for the feast"; or else, that he should give something to the poor.

nasb@John:12:30 @So after receiving the morsel he went out immediately; and it was night.

nasb@John:12:32 @if God is glorified in Him, God will also glorify Him in Himself, and will glorify Him immediately.

nasb@John:12:33" @ Little children, I am with you a little while longer. You will seek Me; and as I said to the Jews, now I also say to you, 'Where I am going, you cannot come.'

nasb@John:12:34" @A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another.

nasb@John:12:35" @ By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

nasb@John:12:36 @Simon Peter said to Him, "Lord, where are You going?" Jesus answered, " Where I go, you cannot follow Me now; but you will follow later."

nasb@John:12:38 @Jesus answered, "Will you lay down your life for MeNULL Truly, truly, I say to you, a rooster will not crow until you deny Me three times.

nasb@John:12:14" @ Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me.

nasb@John:12:3" @If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also.

nasb@John:12:6 @Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.

nasb@John:12:7" @ If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; from now on you know Him, and have seen Him."

nasb@John:12:9 @Jesus said to him, "Have I been so long with you, and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; how can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

nasb@John:12:10" @Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father is in Me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on My own initiative, but the Father abiding in Me does His works.

nasb@John:12:11" @Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father is in Me; otherwise believe because of the works themselves.

nasb@John:12:12" @Truly, truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he will do; because I go to the Father.

nasb@John:12:13" @ Whatever you ask in My name, that will I do, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

nasb@John:12:14" @If you ask Me anything in My name, I will do it.

nasb@John:12:15" @ If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.

nasb@John:12:18" @I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.

nasb@John:12:19" @ After a little while the world will no longer see Me, but you will see Me; because I live, you will live also.

nasb@John:12:20" @ In that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you.

nasb@John:12:21" @ He who has My commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him."

nasb@John:12:23 @Jesus answered and said to him, " If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him.

nasb@John:12:24" @He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father's who sent Me.

nasb@John:12:26" @But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you.

nasb@John:12:28" @ You heard that I said to you, 'I go away, and I will come to you.' If you loved Me, you would have rejoiced because I go to the Father, for the Father is greater than I.

nasb@John:12:30" @I will not speak much more with you, for the ruler of the world is coming, and he has nothing in Me;

nasb@John:12:31 @but so that the world may know that I love the Father, I do exactly as the Father commanded Me. Get up, let us go from here.

nasb@John:12:2" @Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.

nasb@John:12:4" @ Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.

nasb@John:12:5" @I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing.

nasb@John:12:6" @If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire and they are burned.

nasb@John:12:7" @If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.

nasb@John:12:9" @Just as the Father has loved Me, I have also loved you; abide in My love.

nasb@John:12:10" @ If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in His love.

nasb@John:12:12" @This is My commandment, that you love one another, just as I have loved you.

nasb@John:12:16" @ You did not choose Me but I chose you, and appointed you that you would go and bear fruit, and that your fruit would remain, so that whatever you ask of the Father in My name He may give to you.

nasb@John:12:18" @ If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you.

nasb@John:12:20" @Remember the word that I said to you, ' A slave is not greater than his master.' If they persecuted Me, they will also persecute you; if they kept My word, they will keep yours also.

nasb@John:12:21" @But all these things they will do to you for My name's sake, because they do not know the One who sent Me.

nasb@John:12:22" @ If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not have sin, but now they have no excuse for their sin.

nasb@John:12:23" @He who hates Me hates My Father also.

nasb@John:12:24" @ If I had not done among them the works which no one else did, they would not have sin; but now they have both seen and hated Me and My Father as well.

nasb@John:12:25" @But they have done this to fulfill the word that is written in their Law, ' THEY HATED ME WITHOUT A CAUSE.'

nasb@John:12:26" @When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, that is the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify about Me,

nasb@John:12:27 @and you will testify also, because you have been with Me from the beginning.

nasb@John:12:3" @These things they will do because they have not known the Father or Me.

nasb@John:12:4" @But these things I have spoken to you, so that when their hour comes, you may remember that I told you of them. These things I did not say to you at the beginning, because I was with you.

nasb@John:12:5" @But now I am going to Him who sent Me; and none of you asks Me, ' Where are You going?'

nasb@John:12:7" @But I tell you the truth, it is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to you.

nasb@John:12:8" @And He, when He comes, will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment;

nasb@John:12:9 @concerning sin, because they do not believe in Me;

nasb@John:12:10 @and concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father and you no longer see Me;

nasb@John:12:11 @and concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world has been judged.

nasb@John:12:13" @But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all the truth; for He will not speak on His own initiative, but whatever He hears, He will speak; and He will disclose to you what is to come.

nasb@John:12:14" @He will glorify Me, for He will take of Mine and will disclose it to you.

nasb@John:12:16" @ A little while, and you will no longer see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me."

nasb@John:12:17 @Some of His disciples then said to one another, "What is this thing He is telling us, ' A little while, and you will not see Me; and again a little while, and you will see Me'; and, 'because I go to the Father'?"

nasb@John:12:19 @Jesus knew that they wished to question Him, and He said to them, "Are you deliberating together about this, that I said, 'A little while, and you will not see Me, and again a little while, and you will see Me'?

nasb@John:12:20" @Truly, truly, I say to you, that you will weep and lament, but the world will rejoice; you will grieve, but your grief will be turned into joy.

nasb@John:12:21" @ Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.

nasb@John:12:23" @ In that day you will not question Me about anything. Truly, truly, I say to you, if you ask the Father for anything in My name, He will give it to you.

nasb@John:12:24" @ Until now you have asked for nothing in My name; ask and you will receive, so that your joy may be made full.

nasb@John:12:26" @ In that day you will ask in My name, and I do not say to you that I will request of the Father on your behalf;

nasb@John:12:27 @for the Father Himself loves you, because you have loved Me and have believed that I came forth from the Father.

nasb@John:12:28" @ I came forth from the Father and have come into the world; I am leaving the world again and going to the Father."

nasb@John:12:30" @Now we know that You know all things, and have no need for anyone to question You; by this we believe that You came from God."

nasb@John:12:32" @Behold, an hour is coming, and has already come, for you to be scattered, each to his own home, and to leave Me alone; and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with Me.

nasb@John:12:33" @These things I have spoken to you, so that in Me you may have peace. In the world you have tribulation, but take courage; I have overcome the world."

nasb@John:13:1 @Jesus spoke these things; and lifting up His eyes to heaven, He said, "Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, that the Son may glorify You,

nasb@John:13:4" @ I glorified You on the earth, having accomplished the work which You have given Me to do.

nasb@John:13:5" @Now, Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.

nasb@John:13:6" @ I have manifested Your name to the men whom You gave Me out of the world; they were Yours and You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.

nasb@John:13:7" @Now they have come to know that everything You have given Me is from You;

nasb@John:13:8 @for the words which You gave Me I have given to them; and they received them and truly understood that I came forth from You, and they believed that You sent Me.

nasb@John:13:9" @ I ask on their behalf; I do not ask on behalf of the world, but of those whom You have given Me; for they are Yours;

nasb@John:13:11" @I am no longer in the world; and yet they themselves are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep them in Your name, the name which You have given Me, that they may be one even as We are.

nasb@John:13:12" @While I was with them, I was keeping them in Your name which You have given Me; and I guarded them and not one of them perished but the son of perdition, so that the Scripture would be fulfilled.

nasb@John:13:13" @But now I come to You; and these things I speak in the world so that they may have My joy made full in themselves.

nasb@John:13:18" @As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world.

nasb@John:13:20" @I do not ask on behalf of these alone, but for those also who believe in Me through their word;

nasb@John:13:21 @that they may all be one; even as You, Father, are in Me and I in You, that they also may be in Us, so that the world may believe that You sent Me.

nasb@John:13:22" @The glory which You have given Me I have given to them, that they may be one, just as We are one;

nasb@John:13:23 @I in them and You in Me, that they may be perfected in unity, so that the world may know that You sent Me, and loved them, even as You have loved Me.

nasb@John:13:24" @Father, I desire that they also, whom You have given Me, be with Me where I am, so that they may see My glory which You have given Me, for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.

nasb@John:13:25" @O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me;

nasb@John:13:26 @and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them."

nasb@John:14:2 @Now Judas also, who was betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had often met there with His disciples.

nasb@John:14:3 @Judas then, having received the Roman cohort and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons.

nasb@John:14:8 @Jesus answered, "I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,"

nasb@John:14:9 @to fulfill the word which He spoke, " Of those whom You have given Me I lost not one."

nasb@John:14:10 @Simon Peter then, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave's name was Malchus.

nasb@John:14:11 @So Jesus said to Peter, "Put the sword into the sheath; the cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?"

nasb@John:14:20 @Jesus answered him, "I have spoken openly to the world; I always taught in synagogues and in the temple, where all the Jews come together; and I spoke nothing in secret.

nasb@John:14:21" @Why do you question Me? Question those who have heard what I spoke to them; they know what I said."

nasb@John:14:23 @Jesus answered him, "If I have spoken wrongly, testify of the wrong; but if rightly, why do you strike Me?"

nasb@John:14:27 @Peter then denied it again, and immediately a rooster crowed.

nasb@John:14:34 @Jesus answered, "Are you saying this on your own initiative, or did others tell you about Me?"

nasb@John:14:35 @Pilate answered, "I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests delivered You to me; what have You done?"

nasb@John:14:37 @Therefore Pilate said to Him, "So You are a king?" Jesus answered, " You say correctly that I am a king. For this I have been born, and for this I have come into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice."

nasb@John:14:39" @ But you have a custom that I release someone for you at the Passover; do you wish then that I release for you the King of the Jews?"

nasb@John:15:3 @and they began to come up to Him and say, " Hail, King of the Jews!" and to give Him slaps in the face.

nasb@John:15:4 @Pilate came out again and said to them, "Behold, I am bringing Him out to you so that you may know that I find no guilt in Him."

nasb@John:15:5 @Jesus then came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. Pilate said to them, "Behold, the Man!"

nasb@John:15:8 @Therefore when Pilate heard this statement, he was even more afraid;

nasb@John:15:10 @So Pilate said to Him, "You do not speak to me? Do You not know that I have authority to release You, and I have authority to crucify You?"

nasb@John:15:11 @Jesus answered, " You would have no authority over Me, unless it had been given you from above; for this reason he who delivered Me to you has the greater sin."

nasb@John:15:13 @Therefore when Pilate heard these words, he brought Jesus out, and sat down on the judgment seat at a place called The Pavement, but in Hebrew, Gabbatha.

nasb@John:15:18 @There they crucified Him, and with Him two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between.

nasb@John:15:23 @Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made four parts, a part to every soldier and also the tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece.

nasb@John:15:24 @So they said to one another, " Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be"; this was to fulfill the Scripture- "THEY DIVIDED MY OUTER GARMENTS AMONG THEM, AND FOR MY CLOTHING THEY CAST LOTS."

nasb@John:15:32 @So the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first man and of the other who was crucified with Him;

nasb@John:15:34 @But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out.

nasb@John:15:36 @For these things came to pass to fulfill the Scripture, " NOT A BONE OF HIM SHALL BE BROKEN."

nasb@John:15:38 @After these things Joseph of Arimathea, being a disciple of Jesus, but a secret one for fear of the Jews, asked Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus; and Pilate granted permission. So he came and took away His body.

nasb@John:15:39 @Nicodemus, who had first come to Him by night, also came, bringing a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds weight.

nasb@John:16:1 @Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came early to the tomb, while it was still dark, and saw the stone already taken away from the tomb.

nasb@John:16:2 @So she ran and came to Simon Peter and to the other disciple whom Jesus loved, and said to them, " They have taken away the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid Him."

nasb@John:16:4 @The two were running together; and the other disciple ran ahead faster than Peter and came to the tomb first;

nasb@John:16:6 @And so Simon Peter also came, following him, and entered the tomb; and he saw the linen wrappings lying there,

nasb@John:16:8 @So the other disciple who had first come to the tomb then also entered, and he saw and believed.

nasb@John:16:10 @So the disciples went away again to their own homes.

nasb@John:16:15 @Jesus said to her, " Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" Supposing Him to be the gardener, she said to Him, "Sir, if you have carried Him away, tell me where you have laid Him, and I will take Him away."

nasb@John:16:16 @Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to Him in Hebrew, " Rabboni!" (which means, Teacher).

nasb@John:16:17 @Jesus said to her, "Stop clinging to Me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, 'I ascend to My Father and your Father, and My God and your God.'"

nasb@John:16:18 @Mary Magdalene came, announcing to the disciples, "I have seen the Lord," and that He had said these things to her.

nasb@John:16:19 @So when it was evening on that day, the first day of the week, and when the doors were shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, " Peace be with you."

nasb@John:16:21 @So Jesus said to them again, " Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you."

nasb@John:16:24 @But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

nasb@John:16:26 @After eight days His disciples were again inside, and Thomas with them. Jesus came, the doors having been shut, and stood in their midst and said, " Peace be with you."

nasb@John:16:29 @Jesus said to him, "Because you have seen Me, have you believed? Blessed are they who did not see, and yet believed."

nasb@John:16:30 @Therefore many other signs Jesus also performed in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book;

nasb@John:16:31 @but these have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name.

nasb@John:17:3 @Simon Peter said to them, "I am going fishing." They said to him, "We will also come with you." They went out and got into the boat; and that night they caught nothing.

nasb@John:17:7 @Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved said to Peter, "It is the Lord." So when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he put his outer garment on (for he was stripped for work), and threw himself into the sea.

nasb@John:17:8 @But the other disciples came in the little boat, for they were not far from the land, but about one hundred yards away, dragging the net full of fish.

nasb@John:17:10 @Jesus said to them, "Bring some of the fish which you have now caught."

nasb@John:17:12 @Jesus said to them, "Come and have breakfast." None of the disciples ventured to question Him, "Who are You?" knowing that it was the Lord.

nasb@John:17:13 @Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish likewise.

nasb@John:17:14 @This is now the third time that Jesus was manifested to the disciples, after He was raised from the dead.

nasb@John:17:15 @So when they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me more than these?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, "Tend My lambs."

nasb@John:17:16 @He said to him again a second time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" He said to Him, "Yes, Lord; You know that I love You." He said to him, " Shepherd My sheep."

nasb@John:17:17 @He said to him the third time, "Simon, son of John, do you love Me?" Peter was grieved because He said to him the third time, "Do you love Me?" And he said to Him, "Lord, You know all things; You know that I love You." Jesus said to him, " Tend My sheep.

nasb@John:17:18" @Truly, truly, I say to you, when you were younger, you used to gird yourself and walk wherever you wished; but when you grow old, you will stretch out your hands and someone else will gird you, and bring you where you do not wish to go."

nasb@John:17:19 @Now this He said, signifying by what kind of death he would glorify God. And when He had spoken this, He said to him, " Follow Me!"

nasb@John:17:22 @Jesus said to him, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you? You follow Me!"

nasb@John:17:23 @Therefore this saying went out among the brethren that that disciple would not die; yet Jesus did not say to him that he would not die, but only, "If I want him to remain until I come, what is that to you?"

nasb@Acts:1:4 @Gathering them together, He commanded them not to leave Jerusalem, but to wait for what the Father had promised, "Which," He said, "you heard of from Me;

nasb@Acts:1:6 @So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, "Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?"

nasb@Acts:1:7 @He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority;

nasb@Acts:1:8 @but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."

nasb@Acts:1:10 @And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, behold, two men in white clothing stood beside them.

nasb@Acts:1:11 @They also said, " Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who has been taken up from you into heaven, will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven."

nasb@Acts:1:13 @When they had entered the city, they went up to the upper room where they were staying; that is, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas the son of James.

nasb@Acts:1:14 @These all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer, along with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with His brothers.

nasb@Acts:1:15 @At this time Peter stood up in the midst of the brethren (a gathering of about one hundred and twenty persons was there together), and said,

nasb@Acts:1:16" @Brethren, the Scripture had to be fulfilled, which the Holy Spirit foretold by the mouth of David concerning Judas, who became a guide to those who arrested Jesus.

nasb@Acts:1:19 @And it became known to all who were living in Jerusalem; so that in their own language that field was called Hakeldama, that is, Field of Blood.)

nasb@Acts:1:20" @For it is written in the book of Psalms, ' LET HIS HOMESTEAD BE MADE DESOLATE, AND LET NO ONE DWELL IN IT'; and, ' LET ANOTHER MAN TAKE HIS OFFICE.'

nasb@Acts:1:21" @Therefore it is necessary that of the men who have accompanied us all the time that the Lord Jesus went in and out among us--

nasb@Acts:1:22 @beginning with the baptism of John until the day that He was taken up from us--one of these must become a witness with us of His resurrection."

nasb@Acts:1:23 @So they put forward two men, Joseph called Barsabbas (who was also called Justus), and Matthias.

nasb@Acts:1:24 @And they prayed and said, "You, Lord, who know the hearts of all men, show which one of these two You have chosen

nasb@Acts:2:1 @When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place.

nasb@Acts:2:2 @And suddenly there came from heaven a noise like a violent rushing wind, and it filled the whole house where they were sitting.

nasb@Acts:2:5 @Now there were Jews living in Jerusalem, devout men from every nation under heaven.

nasb@Acts:2:6 @And when this sound occurred, the crowd came together, and were bewildered because each one of them was hearing them speak in his own language.

nasb@Acts:2:9" @Parthians and Medes and Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,

nasb@Acts:2:10 @Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the districts of Libya around Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,

nasb@Acts:2:12 @And they all continued in amazement and great perplexity, saying to one another, "What does this mean?"

nasb@Acts:2:14 @But Peter, taking his stand with the eleven, raised his voice and declared to them- "Men of Judea and all you who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you and give heed to my words.

nasb@Acts:2:15" @For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only the third hour of the day;

nasb@Acts:2:17 @' AND IT SHALL BE IN THE LAST DAYS,' God says, 'THAT I WILL POUR FORTH OF MY SPIRIT ON ALL MANKIND; AND YOUR SONS AND YOUR DAUGHTERS SHALL PROPHESY, AND YOUR YOUNG MEN SHALL SEE VISIONS, AND YOUR OLD MEN SHALL DREAM DREAMS;

nasb@Acts:2:21 @'AND IT SHALL BE THAT EVERYONE WHO CALLS ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED.'

nasb@Acts:2:22" @Men of Israel, listen to these words- Jesus the Nazarene, a man attested to you by God with miracles and wonders and signs which God performed through Him in your midst, just as you yourselves know--

nasb@Acts:2:23 @this Man, delivered over by the predetermined plan and foreknowledge of God, you nailed to a cross by the hands of godless men and put Him to death.

nasb@Acts:2:28 @'YOU HAVE MADE KNOWN TO ME THE WAYS OF LIFE; YOU WILL MAKE ME FULL OF GLADNESS WITH YOUR PRESENCE.'

nasb@Acts:2:38 @Peter said to them, " Repent, and each of you be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Acts:2:46 @Day by day continuing with one mind in the temple, and breaking bread from house to house, they were taking their meals together with gladness and sincerity of heart,

nasb@Acts:3:2 @And a man who had been lame from his mother's womb was being carried along, whom they used to set down every day at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, in order to beg alms of those who were entering the temple.

nasb@Acts:3:5 @And he began to give them his attention, expecting to receive something from them.

nasb@Acts:3:6 @But Peter said, "I do not possess silver and gold, but what I do have I give to you- In the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene--walk!"

nasb@Acts:3:7 @And seizing him by the right hand, he raised him up; and immediately his feet and his ankles were strengthened.

nasb@Acts:3:10 @and they were taking note of him as being the one who used to sit at the Beautiful Gate of the temple to beg alms, and they were filled with wonder and amazement at what had happened to him.

nasb@Acts:3:11 @While he was clinging to Peter and John, all the people ran together to them at the so-called portico of Solomon, full of amazement.

nasb@Acts:3:12 @But when Peter saw this, he replied to the people, "Men of Israel, why are you amazed at this, or why do you gaze at us, as if by our own power or piety we had made him walk?

nasb@Acts:3:16" @And on the basis of faith in His name, it is the name of Jesus which has strengthened this man whom you see and know; and the faith which comes through Him has given him this perfect health in the presence of you all.

nasb@Acts:3:19" @Therefore repent and return, so that your sins may be wiped away, in order that times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord;

nasb@Acts:3:21 @whom heaven must receive until the period of restoration of all things about which God spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets from ancient time.

nasb@Acts:3:22" @Moses said, ' THE LORD GOD WILL RAISE UP FOR YOU A PROPHET LIKE ME FROM YOUR BRETHREN; TO HIM YOU SHALL GIVE HEED to everything He says to you.

nasb@Acts:4:1 @As they were speaking to the people, the priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to them,

nasb@Acts:4:4 @But many of those who had heard the message believed; and the number of the men came to be about five thousand.

nasb@Acts:4:7 @When they had placed them in the center, they began to inquire, "By what power, or in what name, have you done this?"

nasb@Acts:4:10 @let it be known to all of you and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ the Nazarene, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead--by this name this man stands here before you in good health.

nasb@Acts:4:12" @And there is salvation in no one else; for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."

nasb@Acts:4:13 @Now as they observed the confidence of Peter and John and understood that they were uneducated and untrained men, they were amazed, and began to recognize them as having been with Jesus.

nasb@Acts:4:16 @saying, " What shall we do with these men? For the fact that a noteworthy miracle has taken place through them is apparent to all who live in Jerusalem, and we cannot deny it.

nasb@Acts:4:17" @But so that it will not spread any further among the people, let us warn them to speak no longer to any man in this name."

nasb@Acts:4:18 @And when they had summoned them, they commanded them not to speak or teach at all in the name of Jesus.

nasb@Acts:4:22 @for the man was more than forty years old on whom this miracle of healing had been performed.

nasb@Acts:4:30 @while You extend Your hand to heal, and signs and wonders take place through the name of Your holy servant Jesus."

nasb@Acts:4:32 @And the congregation of those who believed were of one heart and soul; and not one of them claimed that anything belonging to him was his own, but all things were common property to them.

nasb@Acts:4:36 @Now Joseph, a Levite of Cyprian birth, who was also called Barnabas by the apostles (which translated means Son of Encouragement),

nasb@Acts:5:1 @But a man named Ananias, with his wife Sapphira, sold a piece of property,

nasb@Acts:5:2 @and kept back some of the price for himself, with his wife's full knowledge, and bringing a portion of it, he laid it at the apostles' feet.

nasb@Acts:5:3 @But Peter said, "Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back some of the price of the land?

nasb@Acts:5:4" @While it remained unsold, did it not remain your own? And after it was sold, was it not under your control? Why is it that you have conceived this deed in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God."

nasb@Acts:5:5 @And as he heard these words, Ananias fell down and breathed his last; and great fear came over all who heard of it.

nasb@Acts:5:6 @The young men got up and covered him up, and after carrying him out, they buried him.

nasb@Acts:5:7 @Now there elapsed an interval of about three hours, and his wife came in, not knowing what had happened.

nasb@Acts:5:8 @And Peter responded to her, "Tell me whether you sold the land for such and such a price?" And she said, "Yes, that was the price."

nasb@Acts:5:10 @And immediately she fell at his feet and breathed her last, and the young men came in and found her dead, and they carried her out and buried her beside her husband.

nasb@Acts:5:11 @And great fear came over the whole church, and over all who heard of these things.

nasb@Acts:5:14 @And all the more believers in the Lord, multitudes of men and women, were constantly added to their number,

nasb@Acts:5:15 @to such an extent that they even carried the sick out into the streets and laid them on cots and pallets, so that when Peter came by at least his shadow might fall on any one of them.

nasb@Acts:5:20" @Go, stand and speak to the people in the temple the whole message of this Life."

nasb@Acts:5:21 @Upon hearing this, they entered into the temple about daybreak and began to teach. Now when the high priest and his associates came, they called the Council together, even all the Senate of the sons of Israel, and sent orders to the prison house for them to be brought.

nasb@Acts:5:22 @But the officers who came did not find them in the prison; and they returned and reported back,

nasb@Acts:5:24 @Now when the captain of the temple guard and the chief priests heard these words, they were greatly perplexed about them as to what would come of this.

nasb@Acts:5:25 @But someone came and reported to them, "The men whom you put in prison are standing in the temple and teaching the people!"

nasb@Acts:5:28 @saying, "We gave you strict orders not to continue teaching in this name, and yet, you have filled Jerusalem with your teaching and intend to bring this man's blood upon us."

nasb@Acts:5:29 @But Peter and the apostles answered, " We must obey God rather than men.

nasb@Acts:5:34 @But a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a teacher of the Law, respected by all the people, stood up in the Council and gave orders to put the men outside for a short time.

nasb@Acts:5:35 @And he said to them, "Men of Israel, take care what you propose to do with these men.

nasb@Acts:5:36" @For some time ago Theudas rose up, claiming to be somebody, and a group of about four hundred men joined up with him. But he was killed, and all who followed him were dispersed and came to nothing.

nasb@Acts:5:37" @After this man, Judas of Galilee rose up in the days of the census and drew away some people after him; he too perished, and all those who followed him were scattered.

nasb@Acts:5:38" @So in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or action is of men, it will be overthrown;

nasb@Acts:5:40 @They took his advice; and after calling the apostles in, they flogged them and ordered them not to speak in the name of Jesus, and then released them.

nasb@Acts:5:41 @So they went on their way from the presence of the Council, rejoicing that they had been considered worthy to suffer shame for His name.

nasb@Acts:6:1 @Now at this time while the disciples were increasing in number, a complaint arose on the part of the Hellenistic Jews against the native Hebrews, because their widows were being overlooked in the daily serving of food.

nasb@Acts:6:3" @Therefore, brethren, select from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, whom we may put in charge of this task.

nasb@Acts:6:5 @The statement found approval with the whole congregation; and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch.

nasb@Acts:6:9 @But some men from what was called the Synagogue of the Freedmen, including both Cyrenians and Alexandrians, and some from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and argued with Stephen.

nasb@Acts:6:11 @Then they secretly induced men to say, "We have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God."

nasb@Acts:6:12 @And they stirred up the people, the elders and the scribes, and they came up to him and dragged him away and brought him before the Council.

nasb@Acts:7:2 @And he said, "Hear me, brethren and fathers! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran,

nasb@Acts:8:39 @When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord snatched Philip away; and the eunuch no longer saw him, but went on his way rejoicing.

nasb@Acts:8:40 @But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he kept preaching the gospel to all the cities until he came to Caesarea.

nasb@Acts:9:2 @and asked for letters from him to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any belonging to the Way, both men and women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem.

nasb@Acts:9:4 @and he fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?"

nasb@Acts:9:7 @The men who traveled with him stood speechless, hearing the voice but seeing no one.

nasb@Acts:9:10 @Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." And he said, "Here I am, Lord."

nasb@Acts:9:11 @And the Lord said to him, "Get up and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for a man from Tarsus named Saul, for he is praying,

nasb@Acts:9:12 @and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him, so that he might regain his sight."

nasb@Acts:9:14 @and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on Your name."

nasb@Acts:9:16 @for I will show him how much he must suffer for My name's sake."

nasb@Acts:9:17 @So Ananias departed and entered the house, and after laying his hands on him said, " Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on the road by which you were coming, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit."

nasb@Acts:9:18 @And immediately there fell from his eyes something like scales, and he regained his sight, and he got up and was baptized;

nasb@Acts:9:20 @and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, "He is the Son of God."

nasb@Acts:9:21 @All those hearing him continued to be amazed, and were saying, "Is this not he who in Jerusalem destroyed those who called on this name, and who had come here for the purpose of bringing them bound before the chief priests?"

nasb@Acts:9:24 @but their plot became known to Saul. They were also watching the gates day and night so that they might put him to death;

nasb@Acts:9:26 @When he came to Jerusalem, he was trying to associate with the disciples; but they were all afraid of him, not believing that he was a disciple.

nasb@Acts:9:27 @But Barnabas took hold of him and brought him to the apostles and described to them how he had seen the Lord on the road, and that He had talked to him, and how at Damascus he had spoken out boldly in the name of Jesus.

nasb@Acts:9:28 @And he was with them, moving about freely in Jerusalem, speaking out boldly in the name of the Lord.

nasb@Acts:9:32 @Now as Peter was traveling through all those regions, he came down also to the saints who lived at Lydda.

nasb@Acts:9:33 @There he found a man named Aeneas, who had been bedridden eight years, for he was paralyzed.

nasb@Acts:9:34 @Peter said to him, "Aeneas, Jesus Christ heals you; get up and make your bed." Immediately he got up.

nasb@Acts:9:36 @Now in Joppa there was a disciple named Tabitha (which translated in Greek is called Dorcas); this woman was abounding with deeds of kindness and charity which she continually did.

nasb@Acts:9:37 @And it happened at that time that she fell sick and died; and when they had washed her body, they laid it in an upper room.

nasb@Acts:9:38 @Since Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having heard that Peter was there, sent two men to him, imploring him, "Do not delay in coming to us."

nasb@Acts:9:39 @So Peter arose and went with them. When he arrived, they brought him into the upper room; and all the widows stood beside him, weeping and showing all the tunics and garments that Dorcas used to make while she was with them.

nasb@Acts:9:42 @It became known all over Joppa, and many believed in the Lord.

nasb@Acts:9:43 @And Peter stayed many days in Joppa with a tanner named Simon.

nasb@Acts:10:1 @Now there was a man at Caesarea named Cornelius, a centurion of what was called the Italian cohort,

nasb@Acts:10:3 @About the ninth hour of the day he clearly saw in a vision an angel of God who had just come in and said to him, "Cornelius!"

nasb@Acts:10:4 @And fixing his gaze on him and being much alarmed, he said, "What is it, Lord?" And he said to him, "Your prayers and alms have ascended as a memorial before God.

nasb@Acts:10:5" @Now dispatch some men to Joppa and send for a man named Simon, who is also called Peter;

nasb@Acts:10:6 @he is staying with a tanner named Simon, whose house is by the sea."

nasb@Acts:10:10 @But he became hungry and was desiring to eat; but while they were making preparations, he fell into a trance;

nasb@Acts:10:13 @A voice came to him, "Get up, Peter, kill and eat!"

nasb@Acts:10:14 @But Peter said, "By no means, Lord, for I have never eaten anything unholy and unclean."

nasb@Acts:10:15 @Again a voice came to him a second time, " What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy."

nasb@Acts:10:16 @This happened three times, and immediately the object was taken up into the sky.

nasb@Acts:10:17 @Now while Peter was greatly perplexed in mind as to what the vision which he had seen might be, behold, the men who had been sent by Cornelius, having asked directions for Simon's house, appeared at the gate;

nasb@Acts:10:19 @While Peter was reflecting on the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Behold, three men are looking for you.

nasb@Acts:10:21 @Peter went down to the men and said, "Behold, I am the one you are looking for; what is the reason for which you have come?"

nasb@Acts:10:22 @They said, "Cornelius, a centurion, a righteous and God-fearing man well spoken of by the entire nation of the Jews, was divinely directed by a holy angel to send for you to come to his house and hear a message from you."

nasb@Acts:10:23 @So he invited them in and gave them lodging. And on the next day he got up and went away with them, and some of the brethren from Joppa accompanied him.

nasb@Acts:10:25 @When Peter entered, Cornelius met him, and fell at his feet and worshiped him.

nasb@Acts:10:28 @And he said to them, "You yourselves know how unlawful it is for a man who is a Jew to associate with a foreigner or to visit him; and yet God has shown me that I should not call any man unholy or unclean.

nasb@Acts:10:29" @That is why I came without even raising any objection when I was sent for. So I ask for what reason you have sent for me."

nasb@Acts:10:30 @Cornelius said, " Four days ago to this hour, I was praying in my house during the ninth hour; and behold, a man stood before me in shining garments,

nasb@Acts:10:31 @and he said, 'Cornelius, your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God.

nasb@Acts:10:32 @'Therefore send to Joppa and invite Simon, who is also called Peter, to come to you; he is staying at the house of Simon the tanner by the sea.'

nasb@Acts:10:33" @So I sent for you immediately, and you have been kind enough to come. Now then, we are all here present before God to hear all that you have been commanded by the Lord."

nasb@Acts:10:35 @but in every nation the man who fears Him and does what is right is welcome to Him.

nasb@Acts:10:37 @you yourselves know the thing which took place throughout all Judea, starting from Galilee, after the baptism which John proclaimed.

nasb@Acts:10:40" @ God raised Him up on the third day and granted that He become visible,

nasb@Acts:10:43" @Of Him all the prophets bear witness that through His name everyone who believes in Him receives forgiveness of sins."

nasb@Acts:10:44 @While Peter was still speaking these words, the Holy Spirit fell upon all those who were listening to the message.

nasb@Acts:10:45 @All the circumcised believers who came with Peter were amazed, because the gift of the Holy Spirit had been poured out on the Gentiles also.

nasb@Acts:10:48 @And he ordered them to be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they asked him to stay on for a few days.

nasb@Acts:11:2 @And when Peter came up to Jerusalem, those who were circumcised took issue with him,

nasb@Acts:11:3 @saying, " You went to uncircumcised men and ate with them."

nasb@Acts:11:5" @ I was in the city of Joppa praying; and in a trance I saw a vision, an object coming down like a great sheet lowered by four corners from the sky; and it came right down to me,

nasb@Acts:11:7" @I also heard a voice saying to me, 'Get up, Peter; kill and eat.'

nasb@Acts:11:8" @But I said, 'By no means, Lord, for nothing unholy or unclean has ever entered my mouth.'

nasb@Acts:11:9" @But a voice from heaven answered a second time, ' What God has cleansed, no longer consider unholy.'

nasb@Acts:11:10" @This happened three times, and everything was drawn back up into the sky.

nasb@Acts:11:11" @And behold, at that moment three men appeared at the house in which we were staying, having been sent to me from Caesarea.

nasb@Acts:11:12" @ The Spirit told me to go with them without misgivings. These six brethren also went with me and we entered the man's house.

nasb@Acts:11:16" @And I remembered the word of the Lord, how He used to say, ' John baptized with water, but you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit.'

nasb@Acts:11:17" @Therefore if God gave to them the same gift as He gave to us also after believing in the Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could stand in God's way?"

nasb@Acts:11:20 @But there were some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, who came to Antioch and began speaking to the Greeks also, preaching the Lord Jesus.

nasb@Acts:11:26 @and when he had found him, he brought him to Antioch. And for an entire year they met with the church and taught considerable numbers; and the disciples were first called Christians in Antioch.

nasb@Acts:11:27 @Now at this time some prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch.

nasb@Acts:11:28 @One of them named Agabus stood up and began to indicate by the Spirit that there would certainly be a great famine all over the world. And this took place in the reign of Claudius.

nasb@Acts:11:29 @And in the proportion that any of the disciples had means, each of them determined to send a contribution for the relief of the brethren living in Judea.

nasb@Acts:12:1 @Now about that time Herod the king laid hands on some who belonged to the church in order to mistreat them.

nasb@Acts:12:2 @And he had James the brother of John put to death with a sword.

nasb@Acts:12:8 @And the angel said to him, "Gird yourself and put on your sandals." And he did so. And he said to him, "Wrap your cloak around you and follow me."

nasb@Acts:12:10 @When they had passed the first and second guard, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened for them by itself; and they went out and went along one street, and immediately the angel departed from him.

nasb@Acts:12:11 @When Peter came to himself, he said, "Now I know for sure that the Lord has sent forth His angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting."

nasb@Acts:12:13 @When he knocked at the door of the gate, a servant-girl named Rhoda came to answer.

nasb@Acts:12:17 @But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had led him out of the prison. And he said, "Report these things to James and the brethren." Then he left and went to another place.

nasb@Acts:12:18 @Now when day came, there was no small disturbance among the soldiers as to what could have become of Peter.

nasb@Acts:12:19 @When Herod had searched for him and had not found him, he examined the guards and ordered that they be led away to execution. Then he went down from Judea to Caesarea and was spending time there.

nasb@Acts:12:20 @Now he was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon; and with one accord they came to him, and having won over Blastus the king's chamberlain, they were asking for peace, because their country was fed by the king's country.

nasb@Acts:12:23 @And immediately an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give God the glory, and he was eaten by worms and died.

nasb@Acts:13:1 @Now there were at Antioch, in the church that was there, prophets and teachers- Barnabas, and Simeon who was called Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen who had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Saul.

nasb@Acts:13:2 @While they were ministering to the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for Me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."

nasb@Acts:13:6 @When they had gone through the whole island as far as Paphos, they found a magician, a Jewish false prophet whose name was Bar-Jesus,

nasb@Acts:13:8 @But Elymas the magician (for so his name is translated) was opposing them, seeking to turn the proconsul away from the faith.

nasb@Acts:13:11" @Now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon you, and you will be blind and not see the sun for a time." And immediately a mist and a darkness fell upon him, and he went about seeking those who would lead him by the hand.

nasb@Acts:13:13 @Now Paul and his companions put out to sea from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia; but John left them and returned to Jerusalem.

nasb@Acts:13:16 @Paul stood up, and motioning with his hand said, "Men of Israel, and you who fear God, listen-

nasb@Acts:13:24 @after John had proclaimed before His coming a baptism of repentance to all the people of Israel.

nasb@Acts:13:25" @And while John was completing his course, he kept saying, 'What do you suppose that I am? I am not He. But behold, one is coming after me the sandals of whose feet I am not worthy to untie.'

nasb@Acts:13:26" @Brethren, sons of Abraham's family, and those among you who fear God, to us the message of this salvation has been sent.

nasb@Acts:13:31 @and for many days He appeared to those who came up with Him from Galilee to Jerusalem, the very ones who are now His witnesses to the people.

nasb@Acts:13:38" @Therefore let it be known to you, brethren, that through Him forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you,

nasb@Acts:13:40" @Therefore take heed, so that the thing spoken of in the Prophets may not come upon you-

nasb@Acts:13:41 @' BEHOLD, YOU SCOFFERS, AND MARVEL, AND PERISH; FOR I AM ACCOMPLISHING A WORK IN YOUR DAYS, A WORK WHICH YOU WILL NEVER BELIEVE, THOUGH SOMEONE SHOULD DESCRIBE IT TO YOU.'"

nasb@Acts:13:43 @Now when the meeting of the synagogue had broken up, many of the Jews and of the God-fearing proselytes followed Paul and Barnabas, who, speaking to them, were urging them to continue in the grace of God.

nasb@Acts:13:50 @But the Jews incited the devout women of prominence and the leading men of the city, and instigated a persecution against Paul and Barnabas, and drove them out of their district.

nasb@Acts:14:3 @Therefore they spent a long time there speaking boldly with reliance upon the Lord, who was testifying to the word of His grace, granting that signs and wonders be done by their hands.

nasb@Acts:14:4 @But the people of the city were divided; and some sided with the Jews, and some with the apostles.

nasb@Acts:14:6 @they became aware of it and fled to the cities of Lycaonia, Lystra and Derbe, and the surrounding region;

nasb@Acts:14:8 @At Lystra a man was sitting who had no strength in his feet, lame from his mother's womb, who had never walked.

nasb@Acts:14:11 @When the crowds saw what Paul had done, they raised their voice, saying in the Lycaonian language, " The gods have become like men and have come down to us."

nasb@Acts:14:12 @And they began calling Barnabas, Zeus, and Paul, Hermes, because he was the chief speaker.

nasb@Acts:14:15 @and saying, "Men, why are you doing these things? We are also men of the same nature as you, and preach the gospel to you that you should turn from these vain things to a living God, WHO MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM.

nasb@Acts:14:19 @But Jews came from Antioch and Iconium, and having won over the crowds, they stoned Paul and dragged him out of the city, supposing him to be dead.

nasb@Acts:14:23 @When they had appointed elders for them in every church, having prayed with fasting, they commended them to the Lord in whom they had believed.

nasb@Acts:14:24 @They passed through Pisidia and came into Pamphylia.

nasb@Acts:14:26 @From there they sailed to Antioch, from which they had been commended to the grace of God for the work that they had accomplished.

nasb@Acts:14:28 @And they spent a long time with the disciples.

nasb@Acts:15:1 @Some men came down from Judea and began teaching the brethren, "Unless you are circumcised according to the custom of Moses, you cannot be saved."

nasb@Acts:15:2 @And when Paul and Barnabas had great dissension and debate with them, the brethren determined that Paul and Barnabas and some others of them should go up to Jerusalem to the apostles and elders concerning this issue.

nasb@Acts:15:5 @But some of the sect of the Pharisees who had believed stood up, saying, "It is necessary to circumcise them and to direct them to observe the Law of Moses."

nasb@Acts:15:6 @The apostles and the elders came together to look into this matter.

nasb@Acts:15:11" @But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, in the same way as they also are."

nasb@Acts:15:13 @After they had stopped speaking, James answered, saying, "Brethren, listen to me.

nasb@Acts:15:14" @ Simeon has related how God first concerned Himself about taking from among the Gentiles a people for His name.

nasb@Acts:15:17 @SO THAT THE REST OF MANKIND MAY SEEK THE LORD, AND ALL THE GENTILES WHO ARE CALLED BY MY NAME,'

nasb@Acts:15:19" @Therefore it is my judgment that we do not trouble those who are turning to God from among the Gentiles,

nasb@Acts:15:22 @Then it seemed good to the apostles and the elders, with the whole church, to choose men from among them to send to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas--Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brethren,

nasb@Acts:15:24" @Since we have heard that some of our number to whom we gave no instruction have disturbed you with their words, unsettling your souls,

nasb@Acts:15:25 @it seemed good to us, having become of one mind, to select men to send to you with our beloved Barnabas and Paul,

nasb@Acts:15:26 @men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Acts:15:27" @Therefore we have sent Judas and Silas, who themselves will also report the same things by word of mouth.

nasb@Acts:15:28" @For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us to lay upon you no greater burden than these essentials-

nasb@Acts:15:31 @When they had read it, they rejoiced because of its encouragement.

nasb@Acts:15:32 @Judas and Silas, also being prophets themselves, encouraged and strengthened the brethren with a lengthy message.

nasb@Acts:15:33 @After they had spent time there, they were sent away from the brethren in peace to those who had sent them out.

nasb@Acts:15:34 @[ But it seemed good to Silas to remain there.]

nasb@Acts:15:36 @After some days Paul said to Barnabas, "Let us return and visit the brethren in every city in which we proclaimed the word of the Lord, and see how they are."

nasb@Acts:15:39 @And there occurred such a sharp disagreement that they separated from one another, and Barnabas took Mark with him and sailed away to Cyprus.

nasb@Acts:16:1 @Paul came also to Derbe and to Lystra. And a disciple was there, named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer, but his father was a Greek,

nasb@Acts:16:7 @and after they came to Mysia, they were trying to go into Bithynia, and the Spirit of Jesus did not permit them;

nasb@Acts:16:8 @and passing by Mysia, they came down to Troas.

nasb@Acts:16:9 @A vision appeared to Paul in the night- a man of Macedonia was standing and appealing to him, and saying, "Come over to Macedonia and help us."

nasb@Acts:16:10 @When he had seen the vision, immediately we sought to go into Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

nasb@Acts:16:12 @and from there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of Macedonia, a Roman colony; and we were staying in this city for some days.

nasb@Acts:16:13 @And on the Sabbath day we went outside the gate to a riverside, where we were supposing that there would be a place of prayer; and we sat down and began speaking to the women who had assembled.

nasb@Acts:16:14 @A woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, a worshiper of God, was listening; and the Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul.

nasb@Acts:16:15 @And when she and her household had been baptized, she urged us, saying, "If you have judged me to be faithful to the Lord, come into my house and stay." And she prevailed upon us.

nasb@Acts:16:16 @It happened that as we were going to the place of prayer, a slave-girl having a spirit of divination met us, who was bringing her masters much profit by fortune-telling.

nasb@Acts:16:17 @Following after Paul and us, she kept crying out, saying, "These men are bond-servants of the Most High God, who are proclaiming to you the way of salvation."

nasb@Acts:16:18 @She continued doing this for many days. But Paul was greatly annoyed, and turned and said to the spirit, "I command you in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her!" And it came out at that very moment.

nasb@Acts:16:20 @and when they had brought them to the chief magistrates, they said, "These men are throwing our city into confusion, being Jews,

nasb@Acts:16:26 @and suddenly there came a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison house were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone's chains were unfastened.

nasb@Acts:16:33 @And he took them that very hour of the night and washed their wounds, and immediately he was baptized, he and all his household.

nasb@Acts:16:35 @Now when day came, the chief magistrates sent their policemen, saying, "Release those men."

nasb@Acts:16:36 @And the jailer reported these words to Paul, saying, "The chief magistrates have sent to release you. Therefore come out now and go in peace."

nasb@Acts:16:37 @But Paul said to them, "They have beaten us in public without trial, men who are Romans, and have thrown us into prison; and now are they sending us away secretly? No indeed! But let them come themselves and bring us out."

nasb@Acts:16:38 @The policemen reported these words to the chief magistrates. They were afraid when they heard that they were Romans,

nasb@Acts:16:39 @and they came and appealed to them, and when they had brought them out, they kept begging them to leave the city.

nasb@Acts:17:1 @Now when they had traveled through Amphipolis and Apollonia, they came to Thessalonica, where there was a synagogue of the Jews.

nasb@Acts:17:4 @And some of them were persuaded and joined Paul and Silas, along with a large number of the God-fearing Greeks and a number of the leading women.

nasb@Acts:17:5 @But the Jews, becoming jealous and taking along some wicked men from the market place, formed a mob and set the city in an uproar; and attacking the house of Jason, they were seeking to bring them out to the people.

nasb@Acts:17:6 @When they did not find them, they began dragging Jason and some brethren before the city authorities, shouting, "These men who have upset the world have come here also;

nasb@Acts:17:7 @and Jason has welcomed them, and they all act contrary to the decrees of Caesar, saying that there is another king, Jesus."

nasb@Acts:17:10 @The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews.

nasb@Acts:17:12 @Therefore many of them believed, along with a number of prominent Greek women and men.

nasb@Acts:17:13 @But when the Jews of Thessalonica found out that the word of God had been proclaimed by Paul in Berea also, they came there as well, agitating and stirring up the crowds.

nasb@Acts:17:14 @Then immediately the brethren sent Paul out to go as far as the sea; and Silas and Timothy remained there.

nasb@Acts:17:15 @Now those who escorted Paul brought him as far as Athens; and receiving a command for Silas and Timothy to come to him as soon as possible, they left.

nasb@Acts:17:18 @And also some of the Epicurean and Stoic philosophers were conversing with him. Some were saying, "What would this idle babbler wish to say?" Others, "He seems to be a proclaimer of strange deities,"--because he was preaching Jesus and the resurrection.

nasb@Acts:17:20" @For you are bringing some strange things to our ears; so we want to know what these things mean."

nasb@Acts:17:21 @(Now all the Athenians and the strangers visiting there used to spend their time in nothing other than telling or hearing something new.)

nasb@Acts:17:22 @So Paul stood in the midst of the Areopagus and said, "Men of Athens, I observe that you are very religious in all respects.

nasb@Acts:17:26 @and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation,

nasb@Acts:17:28 @for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we also are His children.'

nasb@Acts:17:29" @Being then the children of God, we ought not to think that the Divine Nature is like gold or silver or stone, an image formed by the art and thought of man.

nasb@Acts:17:30" @Therefore having overlooked the times of ignorance, God is now declaring to men that all people everywhere should repent,

nasb@Acts:17:31 @because He has fixed a day in which He will judge the world in righteousness through a Man whom He has appointed, having furnished proof to all men by raising Him from the dead."

nasb@Acts:17:32 @Now when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some began to sneer, but others said, "We shall hear you again concerning this."

nasb@Acts:17:34 @But some men joined him and believed, among whom also were Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris and others with them.

nasb@Acts:18:2 @And he found a Jew named Aquila, a native of Pontus, having recently come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had commanded all the Jews to leave Rome. He came to them,

nasb@Acts:18:3 @and because he was of the same trade, he stayed with them and they were working, for by trade they were tent-makers.

nasb@Acts:18:5 @But when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul began devoting himself completely to the word, solemnly testifying to the Jews that Jesus was the Christ.

nasb@Acts:18:6 @But when they resisted and blasphemed, he shook out his garments and said to them, "Your blood be on your own heads! I am clean. From now on I will go to the Gentiles."

nasb@Acts:18:7 @Then he left there and went to the house of a man named Titius Justus, a worshiper of God, whose house was next to the synagogue.

nasb@Acts:18:12 @But while Gallio was proconsul of Achaia, the Jews with one accord rose up against Paul and brought him before the judgment seat,

nasb@Acts:18:13 @saying, "This man persuades men to worship God contrary to the law."

nasb@Acts:18:14 @But when Paul was about to open his mouth, Gallio said to the Jews, "If it were a matter of wrong or of vicious crime, O Jews, it would be reasonable for me to put up with you;

nasb@Acts:18:15 @but if there are questions about words and names and your own law, look after it yourselves; I am unwilling to be a judge of these matters."

nasb@Acts:18:16 @And he drove them away from the judgment seat.

nasb@Acts:18:17 @And they all took hold of Sosthenes, the leader of the synagogue, and began beating him in front of the judgment seat. But Gallio was not concerned about any of these things.

nasb@Acts:18:19 @They came to Ephesus, and he left them there. Now he himself entered the synagogue and reasoned with the Jews.

nasb@Acts:18:20 @When they asked him to stay for a longer time, he did not consent,

nasb@Acts:18:23 @And having spent some time there, he left and passed successively through the Galatian region and Phrygia, strengthening all the disciples.

nasb@Acts:18:24 @Now a Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, an eloquent man, came to Ephesus; and he was mighty in the Scriptures.

nasb@Acts:18:27 @And when he wanted to go across to Achaia, the brethren encouraged him and wrote to the disciples to welcome him; and when he had arrived, he greatly helped those who had believed through grace,

nasb@Acts:19:1 @It happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the upper country and came to Ephesus, and found some disciples.

nasb@Acts:19:5 @When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

nasb@Acts:19:6 @And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them, and they began speaking with tongues and prophesying.

nasb@Acts:19:7 @There were in all about twelve men.

nasb@Acts:19:9 @But when some were becoming hardened and disobedient, speaking evil of the Way before the people, he withdrew from them and took away the disciples, reasoning daily in the school of Tyrannus.

nasb@Acts:19:13 @But also some of the Jewish exorcists, who went from place to place, attempted to name over those who had the evil spirits the name of the Lord Jesus, saying, "I adjure you by Jesus whom Paul preaches."

nasb@Acts:19:17 @This became known to all, both Jews and Greeks, who lived in Ephesus; and fear fell upon them all and the name of the Lord Jesus was being magnified.

nasb@Acts:19:21 @Now after these things were finished, Paul purposed in the Spirit to go to Jerusalem after he had passed through Macedonia and Achaia, saying, "After I have been there, I must also see Rome."

nasb@Acts:19:23 @About that time there occurred no small disturbance concerning the Way.

nasb@Acts:19:24 @For a man named Demetrius, a silversmith, who made silver shrines of Artemis, was bringing no little business to the craftsmen;

nasb@Acts:19:25 @these he gathered together with the workmen of similar trades, and said, "Men, you know that our prosperity depends upon this business.

nasb@Acts:19:31 @Also some of the Asiarchs who were friends of his sent to him and repeatedly urged him not to venture into the theater.

nasb@Acts:19:32 @So then, some were shouting one thing and some another, for the assembly was in confusion and the majority did not know for what reason they had come together.

nasb@Acts:19:33 @Some of the crowd concluded it was Alexander, since the Jews had put him forward; and having motioned with his hand, Alexander was intending to make a defense to the assembly.

nasb@Acts:19:35 @After quieting the crowd, the town clerk said, "Men of Ephesus, what man is there after all who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is guardian of the temple of the great Artemis and of the image which fell down from heaven?

nasb@Acts:19:37" @For you have brought these men here who are neither robbers of temples nor blasphemers of our goddess.

nasb@Acts:19:38" @So then, if Demetrius and the craftsmen who are with him have a complaint against any man, the courts are in session and proconsuls are available; let them bring charges against one another.

nasb@Acts:20:2 @When he had gone through those districts and had given them much exhortation, he came to Greece.

nasb@Acts:20:3 @And there he spent three months, and when a plot was formed against him by the Jews as he was about to set sail for Syria, he decided to return through Macedonia.

nasb@Acts:20:6 @We sailed from Philippi after the days of Unleavened Bread, and came to them at Troas within five days; and there we stayed seven days.

nasb@Acts:20:7 @On the first day of the week, when we were gathered together to break bread, Paul began talking to them, intending to leave the next day, and he prolonged his message until midnight.

nasb@Acts:20:9 @And there was a young man named Eutychus sitting on the window sill, sinking into a deep sleep; and as Paul kept on talking, he was overcome by sleep and fell down from the third floor and was picked up dead.

nasb@Acts:20:14 @And when he met us at Assos, we took him on board and came to Mitylene.

nasb@Acts:20:15 @Sailing from there, we arrived the following day opposite Chios; and the next day we crossed over to Samos; and the day following we came to Miletus.

nasb@Acts:20:16 @For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus so that he would not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hurrying to be in Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of Pentecost.

nasb@Acts:20:18 @And when they had come to him, he said to them, "You yourselves know, from the first day that I set foot in Asia, how I was with you the whole time,

nasb@Acts:20:19 @serving the Lord with all humility and with tears and with trials which came upon me through the plots of the Jews;

nasb@Acts:20:22" @And now, behold, bound by the Spirit, I am on my way to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,

nasb@Acts:20:23 @except that the Holy Spirit solemnly testifies to me in every city, saying that bonds and afflictions await me.

nasb@Acts:20:26" @Therefore, I testify to you this day that I am innocent of the blood of all men.

nasb@Acts:20:29" @I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock;

nasb@Acts:20:30 @and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them.

nasb@Acts:20:31" @Therefore be on the alert, remembering that night and day for a period of three years I did not cease to admonish each one with tears.

nasb@Acts:20:32" @And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified.

nasb@Acts:20:34" @You yourselves know that these hands ministered to my own needs and to the men who were with me.

nasb@Acts:20:35" @In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He Himself said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'"

nasb@Acts:21:3 @When we came in sight of Cyprus, leaving it on the left, we kept sailing to Syria and landed at Tyre; for there the ship was to unload its cargo.

nasb@Acts:21:6 @Then we went on board the ship, and they returned home again.

nasb@Acts:21:8 @On the next day we left and came to Caesarea, and entering the house of Philip the evangelist, who was one of the seven, we stayed with him.

nasb@Acts:21:10 @As we were staying there for some days, a prophet named Agabus came down from Judea.

nasb@Acts:21:13 @Then Paul answered, "What are you doing, weeping and breaking my heart? For I am ready not only to be bound, but even to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus."

nasb@Acts:21:16 @Some of the disciples from Caesarea also came with us, taking us to Mnason of Cyprus, a disciple of long standing with whom we were to lodge.

nasb@Acts:21:18 @And the following day Paul went in with us to James, and all the elders were present.

nasb@Acts:21:22" @What, then, is to be done? They will certainly hear that you have come.

nasb@Acts:21:23" @Therefore do this that we tell you. We have four men who are under a vow;

nasb@Acts:21:25" @But concerning the Gentiles who have believed, we wrote, having decided that they should abstain from meat sacrificed to idols and from blood and from what is strangled and from fornication."

nasb@Acts:21:26 @Then Paul took the men, and the next day, purifying himself along with them, went into the temple giving notice of the completion of the days of purification, until the sacrifice was offered for each one of them.

nasb@Acts:21:28 @crying out, "Men of Israel, come to our aid! This is the man who preaches to all men everywhere against our people and the Law and this place; and besides he has even brought Greeks into the temple and has defiled this holy place."

nasb@Acts:21:30 @Then all the city was provoked, and the people rushed together, and taking hold of Paul they dragged him out of the temple, and immediately the doors were shut.

nasb@Acts:21:31 @While they were seeking to kill him, a report came up to the commander of the Roman cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion.

nasb@Acts:21:32 @At once he took along some soldiers and centurions and ran down to them; and when they saw the commander and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.

nasb@Acts:21:33 @Then the commander came up and took hold of him, and ordered him to be bound with two chains; and he began asking who he was and what he had done.

nasb@Acts:21:34 @But among the crowd some were shouting one thing and some another, and when he could not find out the facts because of the uproar, he ordered him to be brought into the barracks.

nasb@Acts:21:37 @As Paul was about to be brought into the barracks, he said to the commander, "May I say something to you?" And he said, "Do you know Greek?

nasb@Acts:21:38" @Then you are not the Egyptian who some time ago stirred up a revolt and led the four thousand men of the Assassins out into the wilderness?"

nasb@Acts:21:39 @But Paul said, " I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, a citizen of no insignificant city; and I beg you, allow me to speak to the people."

nasb@Acts:22:2 @And when they heard that he was addressing them in the Hebrew dialect, they became even more quiet; and he said,

nasb@Acts:22:4" @ I persecuted this Way to the death, binding and putting both men and women into prisons,

nasb@Acts:22:6" @ But it happened that as I was on my way, approaching Damascus about noontime, a very bright light suddenly flashed from heaven all around me,

nasb@Acts:22:7 @and I fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to me, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?'

nasb@Acts:22:8" @And I answered, 'Who are You, Lord?' And He said to me, 'I am Jesus the Nazarene, whom you are persecuting.'

nasb@Acts:22:9" @And those who were with me saw the light, to be sure, but did not understand the voice of the One who was speaking to me.

nasb@Acts:22:10" @And I said, ' What shall I do, Lord?' And the Lord said to me, 'Get up and go on into Damascus, and there you will be told of all that has been appointed for you to do.'

nasb@Acts:22:11" @But since I could not see because of the brightness of that light, I was led by the hand by those who were with me and came into Damascus.

nasb@Acts:22:13 @came to me, and standing near said to me, ' Brother Saul, receive your sight!' And at that very time I looked up at him.

nasb@Acts:22:15 @'For you will be a witness for Him to all men of what you have seen and heard.

nasb@Acts:22:16 @'Now why do you delay? Get up and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on His name.'

nasb@Acts:22:18 @and I saw Him saying to me, ' Make haste, and get out of Jerusalem quickly, because they will not accept your testimony about Me.'

nasb@Acts:22:21" @And He said to me, 'Go! For I will send you far away to the Gentiles.'"

nasb@Acts:22:22 @They listened to him up to this statement, and then they raised their voices and said, " Away with such a fellow from the earth, for he should not be allowed to live!"

nasb@Acts:22:27 @The commander came and said to him, "Tell me, are you a Roman?" And he said, "Yes."

nasb@Acts:22:29 @Therefore those who were about to examine him immediately let go of him; and the commander also was afraid when he found out that he was a Roman, and because he had put him in chains.

nasb@Acts:23:3 @Then Paul said to him, "God is going to strike you, you whitewashed wall! Do you sit to try me according to the Law, and in violation of the Law order me to be struck?"

nasb@Acts:23:9 @And there occurred a great uproar; and some of the scribes of the Pharisaic party stood up and began to argue heatedly, saying, " We find nothing wrong with this man; suppose a spirit or an angel has spoken to him?"

nasb@Acts:23:11 @But on the night immediately following, the Lord stood at his side and said, " Take courage; for as you have solemnly witnessed to My cause at Jerusalem, so you must witness at Rome also."

nasb@Acts:23:12 @When it was day, the Jews formed a conspiracy and bound themselves under an oath, saying that they would neither eat nor drink until they had killed Paul.

nasb@Acts:23:13 @There were more than forty who formed this plot.

nasb@Acts:23:14 @They came to the chief priests and the elders and said, "We have bound ourselves under a solemn oath to taste nothing until we have killed Paul.

nasb@Acts:23:15" @Now therefore, you and the Council notify the commander to bring him down to you, as though you were going to determine his case by a more thorough investigation; and we for our part are ready to slay him before he comes near the place."

nasb@Acts:23:16 @But the son of Paul's sister heard of their ambush, and he came and entered the barracks and told Paul.

nasb@Acts:23:17 @Paul called one of the centurions to him and said, "Lead this young man to the commander, for he has something to report to him."

nasb@Acts:23:18 @So he took him and led him to the commander and said, "Paul the prisoner called me to him and asked me to lead this young man to you since he has something to tell you."

nasb@Acts:23:19 @The commander took him by the hand and stepping aside, began to inquire of him privately, "What is it that you have to report to me?"

nasb@Acts:23:20 @And he said, " The Jews have agreed to ask you to bring Paul down tomorrow to the Council, as though they were going to inquire somewhat more thoroughly about him.

nasb@Acts:23:22 @So the commander let the young man go, instructing him, "Tell no one that you have notified me of these things."

nasb@Acts:23:23 @And he called to him two of the centurions and said, "Get two hundred soldiers ready by the third hour of the night to proceed to Caesarea, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen."

nasb@Acts:23:27" @When this man was arrested by the Jews and was about to be slain by them, I came up to them with the troops and rescued him, having learned that he was a Roman.

nasb@Acts:23:29 @and I found him to be accused over questions about their Law, but under no accusation deserving death or imprisonment.

nasb@Acts:23:30" @When I was informed that there would be a plot against the man, I sent him to you at once, also instructing his accusers to bring charges against him before you."

nasb@Acts:23:32 @But the next day, leaving the horsemen to go on with him, they returned to the barracks.

nasb@Acts:23:33 @When these had come to Caesarea and delivered the letter to the governor, they also presented Paul to him.

nasb@Acts:24:1 @After five days the high priest Ananias came down with some elders, with an attorney named Tertullus, and they brought charges to the governor against Paul.

nasb@Acts:24:7" @But Lysias the commander came along, and with much violence took him out of our hands,

nasb@Acts:24:8 @ordering his accusers to come before you.] By examining him yourself concerning all these matters you will be able to ascertain the things of which we accuse him."

nasb@Acts:24:12" @ Neither in the temple, nor in the synagogues, nor in the city itself did they find me carrying on a discussion with anyone or causing a riot.

nasb@Acts:24:13" @ Nor can they prove to you the charges of which they now accuse me.

nasb@Acts:24:15 @having a hope in God, which these men cherish themselves, that there shall certainly be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.

nasb@Acts:24:16" @In view of this, I also do my best to maintain always a blameless conscience both before God and before men.

nasb@Acts:24:17" @Now after several years I came to bring alms to my nation and to present offerings;

nasb@Acts:24:18 @in which they found me occupied in the temple, having been purified, without any crowd or uproar. But there were some Jews from Asia--

nasb@Acts:24:19 @who ought to have been present before you and to make accusation, if they should have anything against me.

nasb@Acts:24:20" @Or else let these men themselves tell what misdeed they found when I stood before the Council,

nasb@Acts:24:21 @other than for this one statement which I shouted out while standing among them, 'For the resurrection of the dead I am on trial before you today.'"

nasb@Acts:24:22 @But Felix, having a more exact knowledge about the Way, put them off, saying, "When Lysias the commander comes down, I will decide your case."

nasb@Acts:24:23 @Then he gave orders to the centurion for him to be kept in custody and yet have some freedom, and not to prevent any of his friends from ministering to him.

nasb@Acts:24:24 @But some days later Felix arrived with Drusilla, his wife who was a Jewess, and sent for Paul and heard him speak about faith in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Acts:24:25 @But as he was discussing righteousness, self-control and the judgment to come, Felix became frightened and said, "Go away for the present, and when I find time I will summon you."

nasb@Acts:24:26 @At the same time too, he was hoping that money would be given him by Paul; therefore he also used to send for him quite often and converse with him.

nasb@Acts:25:2 @And the chief priests and the leading men of the Jews brought charges against Paul, and they were urging him,

nasb@Acts:25:3 @requesting a concession against Paul, that he might have him brought to Jerusalem (at the same time, setting an ambush to kill him on the way).

nasb@Acts:25:5" @Therefore," he said, "let the influential men among you go there with me, and if there is anything wrong about the man, let them prosecute him."

nasb@Acts:25:7 @After Paul arrived, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem stood around him, bringing many and serious charges against him which they could not prove,

nasb@Acts:25:9 @But Festus, wishing to do the Jews a favor, answered Paul and said, " Are you willing to go up to Jerusalem and stand trial before me on these charges?"

nasb@Acts:25:11" @If, then, I am a wrongdoer and have committed anything worthy of death, I do not refuse to die; but if none of those things is true of which these men accuse me, no one can hand me over to them. I appeal to Caesar."

nasb@Acts:25:16" @I answered them that it is not the custom of the Romans to hand over any man before the accused meets his accusers face to face and has an opportunity to make his defense against the charges.

nasb@Acts:25:17" @So after they had assembled here, I did not delay, but on the next day took my seat on the tribunal and ordered the man to be brought before me.

nasb@Acts:25:18" @When the accusers stood up, they began bringing charges against him not of such crimes as I was expecting,

nasb@Acts:25:19 @but they simply had some points of disagreement with him about their own religion and about a dead man, Jesus, whom Paul asserted to be alive.

nasb@Acts:25:23 @So, on the next day when Agrippa came together with Bernice amid great pomp, and entered the auditorium accompanied by the commanders and the prominent men of the city, at the command of Festus, Paul was brought in.

nasb@Acts:25:24 @Festus said, "King Agrippa, and all you gentlemen here present with us, you see this man about whom all the people of the Jews appealed to me, both at Jerusalem and here, loudly declaring that he ought not to live any longer.

nasb@Acts:25:26" @Yet I have nothing definite about him to write to my lord. Therefore I have brought him before you all and especially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the investigation has taken place, I may have something to write.

nasb@Acts:25:27" @For it seems absurd to me in sending a prisoner, not to indicate also the charges against him."

nasb@Acts:25:3 @especially because you are an expert in all customs and questions among the Jews; therefore I beg you to listen to me patiently.

nasb@Acts:25:5 @since they have known about me for a long time, if they are willing to testify, that I lived as a Pharisee according to the strictest sect of our religion.

nasb@Acts:25:9" @So then, I thought to myself that I had to do many things hostile to the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

nasb@Acts:25:11" @And as I punished them often in all the synagogues, I tried to force them to blaspheme; and being furiously enraged at them, I kept pursuing them even to foreign cities.

nasb@Acts:25:13 @at midday, O King, I saw on the way a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining all around me and those who were journeying with me.

nasb@Acts:25:14" @And when we had all fallen to the ground, I heard a voice saying to me in the Hebrew dialect, 'Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me? It is hard for you to kick against the goads.'

nasb@Acts:25:18 @to open their eyes so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the dominion of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and an inheritance among those who have been sanctified by faith in Me.'

nasb@Acts:25:21" @For this reason some Jews seized me in the temple and tried to put me to death.

nasb@Acts:25:28 @Agrippa replied to Paul, "In a short time you will persuade me to become a Christian."

nasb@Acts:25:29 @And Paul said, "I would wish to God, that whether in a short or long time, not only you, but also all who hear me this day, might become such as I am, except for these chains."

nasb@Acts:25:31 @and when they had gone aside, they began talking to one another, saying, " This man is not doing anything worthy of death or imprisonment."

nasb@Acts:26:1 @When it was decided that we would sail for Italy, they proceeded to deliver Paul and some other prisoners to a centurion of the Augustan cohort named Julius.

nasb@Acts:26:8 @and with difficulty sailing past it we came to a place called Fair Havens, near which was the city of Lasea.

nasb@Acts:26:9 @When considerable time had passed and the voyage was now dangerous, since even the fast was already over, Paul began to admonish them,

nasb@Acts:26:10 @and said to them, "Men, I perceive that the voyage will certainly be with damage and great loss, not only of the cargo and the ship, but also of our lives."

nasb@Acts:26:12 @Because the harbor was not suitable for wintering, the majority reached a decision to put out to sea from there, if somehow they could reach Phoenix, a harbor of Crete, facing southwest and northwest, and spend the winter there.

nasb@Acts:26:13 @When a moderate south wind came up, supposing that they had attained their purpose, they weighed anchor and began sailing along Crete, close inshore.

nasb@Acts:26:21 @When they had gone a long time without food, then Paul stood up in their midst and said, " Men, you ought to have followed my advice and not to have set sail from Crete and incurred this damage and loss.

nasb@Acts:26:23" @For this very night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me,

nasb@Acts:26:25" @Therefore, keep up your courage, men, for I believe God that it will turn out exactly as I have been told.

nasb@Acts:26:27 @But when the fourteenth night came, as we were being driven about in the Adriatic Sea, about midnight the sailors began to surmise that they were approaching some land.

nasb@Acts:26:29 @Fearing that we might run aground somewhere on the rocks, they cast four anchors from the stern and wished for daybreak.

nasb@Acts:26:31 @Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, "Unless these men remain in the ship, you yourselves cannot be saved."

nasb@Acts:26:33 @Until the day was about to dawn, Paul was encouraging them all to take some food, saying, "Today is the fourteenth day that you have been constantly watching and going without eating, having taken nothing.

nasb@Acts:26:34" @Therefore I encourage you to take some food, for this is for your preservation, for not a hair from the head of any of you will perish."

nasb@Acts:26:39 @When day came, they could not recognize the land; but they did observe a bay with a beach, and they resolved to drive the ship onto it if they could.

nasb@Acts:26:40 @And casting off the anchors, they left them in the sea while at the same time they were loosening the ropes of the rudders; and hoisting the foresail to the wind, they were heading for the beach.

nasb@Acts:26:41 @But striking a reef where two seas met, they ran the vessel aground; and the prow stuck fast and remained immovable, but the stern began to be broken up by the force of the waves.

nasb@Acts:26:44 @and the rest should follow, some on planks, and others on various things from the ship. And so it happened that they all were brought safely to land.

nasb@Acts:27:3 @But when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks and laid them on the fire, a viper came out because of the heat and fastened itself on his hand.

nasb@Acts:27:6 @But they were expecting that he was about to swell up or suddenly fall down dead. But after they had waited a long time and had seen nothing unusual happen to him, they changed their minds and began to say that he was a god.

nasb@Acts:27:7 @Now in the neighborhood of that place were lands belonging to the leading man of the island, named Publius, who welcomed us and entertained us courteously three days.

nasb@Acts:27:13 @From there we sailed around and arrived at Rhegium, and a day later a south wind sprang up, and on the second day we came to Puteoli.

nasb@Acts:27:14 @There we found some brethren, and were invited to stay with them for seven days; and thus we came to Rome.

nasb@Acts:27:15 @And the brethren, when they heard about us, came from there as far as the Market of Appius and Three Inns to meet us; and when Paul saw them, he thanked God and took courage.

nasb@Acts:27:16 @When we entered Rome, Paul was allowed to stay by himself, with the soldier who was guarding him.

nasb@Acts:27:17 @After three days Paul called together those who were the leading men of the Jews, and when they came together, he began saying to them, " Brethren, though I had done nothing against our people or the customs of our fathers, yet I was delivered as a prisoner from Jerusalem into the hands of the Romans.

nasb@Acts:27:18" @And when they had examined me, they were willing to release me because there was no ground for putting me to death.

nasb@Acts:27:21 @They said to him, "We have neither received letters from Judea concerning you, nor have any of the brethren come here and reported or spoken anything bad about you.

nasb@Acts:27:23 @When they had set a day for Paul, they came to him at his lodging in large numbers; and he was explaining to them by solemnly testifying about the kingdom of God and trying to persuade them concerning Jesus, from both the Law of Moses and from the Prophets, from morning until evening.

nasb@Acts:27:24 @Some were being persuaded by the things spoken, but others would not believe.

nasb@Acts:27:27 @FOR THE HEART OF THIS PEOPLE HAS BECOME DULL, AND WITH THEIR EARS THEY SCARCELY HEAR, AND THEY HAVE CLOSED THEIR EYES; OTHERWISE THEY MIGHT SEE WITH THEIR EYES, AND HEAR WITH THEIR EARS, AND UNDERSTAND WITH THEIR HEART AND RETURN, AND I WOULD HEAL THEM."'

nasb@Acts:27:30 @And he stayed two full years in his own rented quarters and was welcoming all who came to him,

nasb@Romans:1:5 @through whom we have received grace and apostleship to bring about the obedience of faith among all the Gentiles for His name's sake,

nasb@Romans:1:7 @to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints- Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@Romans:1:8 @First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for you all, because your faith is being proclaimed throughout the whole world.

nasb@Romans:1:9 @For God, whom I serve in my spirit in the preaching of the gospel of His Son, is my witness as to how unceasingly I make mention of you,

nasb@Romans:1:11 @For I long to see you so that I may impart some spiritual gift to you, that you may be established;

nasb@Romans:1:13 @I do not want you to be unaware, brethren, that often I have planned to come to you (and have been prevented so far) so that I may obtain some fruit among you also, even as among the rest of the Gentiles.

nasb@Romans:1:15 @So, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also who are in Rome.

nasb@Romans:1:16 @For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek.

nasb@Romans:1:18 @For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,

nasb@Romans:1:21 @For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

nasb@Romans:1:22 @Professing to be wise, they became fools,

nasb@Romans:1:25 @For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.

nasb@Romans:1:26 @For this reason God gave them over to degrading passions; for their women exchanged the natural function for that which is unnatural,

nasb@Romans:1:27 @and in the same way also the men abandoned the natural function of the woman and burned in their desire toward one another, men with men committing indecent acts and receiving in their own persons the due penalty of their error.

nasb@Romans:1:31 @without understanding, untrustworthy, unloving, unmerciful;

nasb@Romans:1:32 @and although they know the ordinance of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, they not only do the same, but also give hearty approval to those who practice them.

nasb@Romans:2:1 @Therefore you have no excuse, everyone of you who passes judgment, for in that which you judge another, you condemn yourself; for you who judge practice the same things.

nasb@Romans:2:2 @And we know that the judgment of God rightly falls upon those who practice such things.

nasb@Romans:2:3 @But do you suppose this, O man, when you pass judgment on those who practice such things and do the same yourself, that you will escape the judgment of God?

nasb@Romans:2:5 @But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God,

nasb@Romans:2:16 @on the day when, according to my gospel, God will judge the secrets of men through Christ Jesus.

nasb@Romans:2:17 @But if you bear the name "Jew" and rely upon the Law and boast in God,

nasb@Romans:2:20 @a corrector of the foolish, a teacher of the immature, having in the Law the embodiment of knowledge and of the truth,

nasb@Romans:2:24 @For " THE NAME OF GOD IS BLASPHEMED AMONG THE GENTILES BECAUSE OF YOU," just as it is written.

nasb@Romans:2:25 @For indeed circumcision is of value if you practice the Law; but if you are a transgressor of the Law, your circumcision has become uncircumcision.

nasb@Romans:2:26 @So if the uncircumcised man keeps the requirements of the Law, will not his uncircumcision be regarded as circumcision?

nasb@Romans:2:29 @But he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that which is of the heart, by the Spirit, not by the letter; and his praise is not from men, but from God.

nasb@Romans:3:3 @What then? If some did not believe, their unbelief will not nullify the faithfulness of God, will it?

nasb@Romans:3:8 @And why not say (as we are slanderously reported and as some claim that we say), " Let us do evil that good may come"? Their condemnation is just.

nasb@Romans:3:12 @ALL HAVE TURNED ASIDE, TOGETHER THEY HAVE BECOME USELESS; THERE IS NONE WHO DOES GOOD, THERE IS NOT EVEN ONE."

nasb@Romans:3:19 @Now we know that whatever the Law says, it speaks to those who are under the Law, so that every mouth may be closed and all the world may become accountable to God;

nasb@Romans:3:20 @because by the works of the Law no flesh will be justified in His sight; for through the Law comes the knowledge of sin.

nasb@Romans:3:26 @for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

nasb@Romans:4:2 @For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God.

nasb@Romans:4:18 @In hope against hope he believed, so that he might become a father of many nations according to that which had been spoken, " SO SHALL YOUR DESCENDANTS BE."

nasb@Romans:5:6 @For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly.

nasb@Romans:5:7 @For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die.

nasb@Romans:5:12 @Therefore, just as through one man sin entered into the world, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men, because all sinned--

nasb@Romans:5:14 @Nevertheless death reigned from Adam until Moses, even over those who had not sinned in the likeness of the offense of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.

nasb@Romans:5:16 @The gift is not like that which came through the one who sinned; for on the one hand the judgment arose from one transgression resulting in condemnation, but on the other hand the free gift arose from many transgressions resulting in justification.

nasb@Romans:5:18 @So then as through one transgression there resulted condemnation to all men, even so through one act of righteousness there resulted justification of life to all men.

nasb@Romans:5:20 @The Law came in so that the transgression would increase; but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,

nasb@Romans:6:5 @For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection,

nasb@Romans:6:13 @and do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.

nasb@Romans:6:16 @Do you not know that when you present yourselves to someone as slaves for obedience, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either of sin resulting in death, or of obedience resulting in righteousness?

nasb@Romans:6:17 @But thanks be to God that though you were slaves of sin, you became obedient from the heart to that form of teaching to which you were committed,

nasb@Romans:6:18 @and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness.

nasb@Romans:6:19 @I am speaking in human terms because of the weakness of your flesh. For just as you presented your members as slaves to impurity and to lawlessness, resulting in further lawlessness, so now present your members as slaves to righteousness, resulting in sanctification.

nasb@Romans:6:21 @Therefore what benefit were you then deriving from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the outcome of those things is death.

nasb@Romans:6:22 @But now having been freed from sin and enslaved to God, you derive your benefit, resulting in sanctification, and the outcome, eternal life.

nasb@Romans:7:5 @For while we were in the flesh, the sinful passions, which were aroused by the Law, were at work in the members of our body to bear fruit for death.

nasb@Romans:7:7 @What shall we say then? Is the Law sin? May it never be! On the contrary, I would not have come to know sin except through the Law; for I would not have known about coveting if the Law had not said, " YOU SHALL NOT COVET."

nasb@Romans:7:8 @But sin, taking opportunity through the commandment, produced in me coveting of every kind; for apart from the Law sin is dead.

nasb@Romans:7:9 @I was once alive apart from the Law; but when the commandment came, sin became alive and I died;

nasb@Romans:7:10 @and this commandment, which was to result in life, proved to result in death for me;

nasb@Romans:7:11 @for sin, taking an opportunity through the commandment, deceived me and through it killed me.

nasb@Romans:7:12 @So then, the Law is holy, and the commandment is holy and righteous and good.

nasb@Romans:7:13 @Therefore did that which is good become a cause of death for me? May it never be! Rather it was sin, in order that it might be shown to be sin by effecting my death through that which is good, so that through the commandment sin would become utterly sinful.

nasb@Romans:7:17 @So now, no longer am I the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.

nasb@Romans:7:18 @For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh; for the willing is present in me, but the doing of the good is not.

nasb@Romans:7:20 @But if I am doing the very thing I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but sin which dwells in me.

nasb@Romans:7:21 @I find then the principle that evil is present in me, the one who wants to do good.

nasb@Romans:7:23 @but I see a different law in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin which is in my members.

nasb@Romans:7:24 @Wretched man that I am! Who will set me free from the body of this death?

nasb@Romans:8:4 @so that the requirement of the Law might be fulfilled in us, who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

nasb@Romans:8:18 @For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory that is to be revealed to us.

nasb@Romans:8:26 @In the same way the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words;

nasb@Romans:8:29 @For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brethren;

nasb@Romans:8:38 @For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers,

nasb@Romans:9:1 @I am telling the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience testifies with me in the Holy Spirit,

nasb@Romans:9:3 @For I could wish that I myself were accursed, separated from Christ for the sake of my brethren, my kinsmen according to the flesh,

nasb@Romans:9:5 @whose are the fathers, and from whom is the Christ according to the flesh, who is over all, God blessed forever. Amen.

nasb@Romans:9:7 @nor are they all children because they are Abraham's descendants, but- " THROUGH ISAAC YOUR DESCENDANTS WILL BE NAMED."

nasb@Romans:9:9 @For this is the word of promise- " AT THIS TIME I WILL COME, AND SARAH SHALL HAVE A SON."

nasb@Romans:9:15 @For He says to Moses, " I WILL HAVE MERCY ON WHOM I HAVE MERCY, AND I WILL HAVE COMPASSION ON WHOM I HAVE COMPASSION."

nasb@Romans:9:16 @So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy.

nasb@Romans:9:17 @For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, " FOR THIS VERY PURPOSE I RAISED YOU UP, TO DEMONSTRATE MY POWER IN YOU, AND THAT MY NAME MIGHT BE PROCLAIMED THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH."

nasb@Romans:9:18 @So then He has mercy on whom He desires, and He hardens whom He desires.

nasb@Romans:9:19 @You will say to me then, " Why does He still find fault? For who resists His will?"

nasb@Romans:9:20 @On the contrary, who are you, O man, who answers back to God? The thing molded will not say to the molder, "Why did you make me like this," will it?

nasb@Romans:9:21 @Or does not the potter have a right over the clay, to make from the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for common use?

nasb@Romans:9:23 @And He did so to make known the riches of His glory upon vessels of mercy, which He prepared beforehand for glory,

nasb@Romans:9:29 @And just as Isaiah foretold, " UNLESS THE LORD OF SABAOTH HAD LEFT TO US A POSTERITY, WE WOULD HAVE BECOME LIKE SODOM, AND WOULD HAVE RESEMBLED GOMORRAH."

nasb@Romans:10:12 @For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; for the same Lord is Lord of all, abounding in riches for all who call on Him;

nasb@Romans:10:13 @for " WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF THE LORD WILL BE SAVED."

nasb@Romans:10:17 @So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

nasb@Romans:10:20 @And Isaiah is very bold and says, " I WAS FOUND BY THOSE WHO DID NOT SEEK ME, I BECAME MANIFEST TO THOSE WHO DID NOT ASK FOR ME."

nasb@Romans:11:4 @But what is the divine response to him? " I HAVE KEPT for Myself SEVEN THOUSAND MEN WHO HAVE NOT BOWED THE KNEE TO BAAL."

nasb@Romans:11:5 @In the same way then, there has also come to be at the present time a remnant according to God's gracious choice.

nasb@Romans:11:9 @And David says, " LET THEIR TABLE BECOME A SNARE AND A TRAP, AND A STUMBLING BLOCK AND A RETRIBUTION TO THEM.

nasb@Romans:11:11 @I say then, they did not stumble so as to fall, did they? May it never be! But by their transgression salvation has come to the Gentiles, to make them jealous.

nasb@Romans:11:12 @Now if their transgression is riches for the world and their failure is riches for the Gentiles, how much more will their fulfillment be!

nasb@Romans:11:14 @if somehow I might move to jealousy my fellow countrymen and save some of them.

nasb@Romans:11:17 @But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, being a wild olive, were grafted in among them and became partaker with them of the rich root of the olive tree,

nasb@Romans:11:18 @do not be arrogant toward the branches; but if you are arrogant, remember that it is not you who supports the root, but the root supports you.

nasb@Romans:11:25 @For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery--so that you will not be wise in your own estimation--that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;

nasb@Romans:11:26 @and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, " THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB."

nasb@Romans:11:30 @For just as you once were disobedient to God, but now have been shown mercy because of their disobedience,

nasb@Romans:11:31 @so these also now have been disobedient, that because of the mercy shown to you they also may now be shown mercy.

nasb@Romans:11:32 @For God has shut up all in disobedience so that He may show mercy to all.

nasb@Romans:11:33 @Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and unfathomable His ways!

nasb@Romans:11:34 @For WHO HAS KNOWN THE MIND OF THE LORD, OR WHO BECAME HIS COUNSELOR?

nasb@Romans:11:36 @For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever. Amen.

nasb@Romans:12:1 @Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship.

nasb@Romans:12:2 @And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect.

nasb@Romans:12:3 @For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.

nasb@Romans:12:4 @For just as we have many members in one body and all the members do not have the same function,

nasb@Romans:12:5 @so we, who are many, are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another.

nasb@Romans:12:8 @or he who exhorts, in his exhortation; he who gives, with liberality; he who leads, with diligence; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness.

nasb@Romans:12:16 @Be of the same mind toward one another; do not be haughty in mind, but associate with the lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation.

nasb@Romans:12:17 @Never pay back evil for evil to anyone. Respect what is right in the sight of all men.

nasb@Romans:12:18 @If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.

nasb@Romans:12:21 @Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

nasb@Romans:13:3 @For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil. Do you want to have no fear of authority? Do what is good and you will have praise from the same;

nasb@Romans:13:9 @For this, " YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY, YOU SHALL NOT MURDER, YOU SHALL NOT STEAL, YOU SHALL NOT COVET," and if there is any other commandment, it is summed up in this saying, " YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

nasb@Romans:13:10 @Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.

nasb@Romans:13:11 @Do this, knowing the time, that it is already the hour for you to awaken from sleep; for now salvation is nearer to us than when we believed.

nasb@Romans:14:1 @Now accept the one who is weak in faith, but not for the purpose of passing judgment on his opinions.

nasb@Romans:14:10 @But you, why do you judge your brother? Or you again, why do you regard your brother with contempt? For we will all stand before the judgment seat of God.

nasb@Romans:14:11 @For it is written, " AS I LIVE, SAYS THE LORD, EVERY KNEE SHALL BOW TO ME, AND EVERY TONGUE SHALL GIVE PRAISE TO GOD."

nasb@Romans:14:18 @For he who in this way serves Christ is acceptable to God and approved by men.

nasb@Romans:14:21 @It is good not to eat meat or to drink wine, or to do anything by which your brother stumbles.

nasb@Romans:15:3 @For even Christ did not please Himself; but as it is written, " THE REPROACHES OF THOSE WHO REPROACHED YOU FELL ON ME."

nasb@Romans:15:4 @For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

nasb@Romans:15:5 @Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus,

nasb@Romans:15:8 @For I say that Christ has become a servant to the circumcision on behalf of the truth of God to confirm the promises given to the fathers,

nasb@Romans:15:9 @and for the Gentiles to glorify God for His mercy; as it is written, " THEREFORE I WILL GIVE PRAISE TO YOU AMONG THE GENTILES, AND I WILL SING TO YOUR NAME."

nasb@Romans:15:12 @Again Isaiah says, " THERE SHALL COME THE ROOT OF JESSE, AND HE WHO ARISES TO RULE OVER THE GENTILES, IN HIM SHALL THE GENTILES HOPE."

nasb@Romans:15:15 @But I have written very boldly to you on some points so as to remind you again, because of the grace that was given me from God,

nasb@Romans:15:16 @to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles, ministering as a priest the gospel of God, so that my offering of the Gentiles may become acceptable, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.

nasb@Romans:15:18 @For I will not presume to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me, resulting in the obedience of the Gentiles by word and deed,

nasb@Romans:15:20 @And thus I aspired to preach the gospel, not where Christ was already named, so that I would not build on another man's foundation;

nasb@Romans:15:23 @but now, with no further place for me in these regions, and since I have had for many years a longing to come to you

nasb@Romans:15:29 @I know that when I come to you, I will come in the fullness of the blessing of Christ.

nasb@Romans:15:30 @Now I urge you, brethren, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God for me,

nasb@Romans:15:32 @so that I may come to you in joy by the will of God and find refreshing rest in your company.

nasb@Romans:15:33 @Now the God of peace be with you all. Amen.

nasb@Romans:16:1 @I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a servant of the church which is at Cenchrea;

nasb@Romans:16:7 @Greet Andronicus and Junias, my kinsmen and my fellow prisoners, who are outstanding among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me.

nasb@Romans:16:14 @Greet Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas and the brethren with them.

nasb@Romans:16:18 @For such men are slaves, not of our Lord Christ but of their own appetites; and by their smooth and flattering speech they deceive the hearts of the unsuspecting.

nasb@Romans:16:21 @Timothy my fellow worker greets you, and so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my kinsmen.

nasb@Romans:16:23 @Gaius, host to me and to the whole church, greets you. Erastus, the city treasurer greets you, and Quartus, the brother.

nasb@Romans:16:24 @[ The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.]

nasb@Romans:16:26 @but now is manifested, and by the Scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the eternal God, has been made known to all the nations, leading to obedience of faith;

nasb@Romans:16:27 @to the only wise God, through Jesus Christ, be the glory forever. Amen.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:2 @To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who have been sanctified in Christ Jesus, saints by calling, with all who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours-

nasb@1Corinthians:1:6 @even as the testimony concerning Christ was confirmed in you,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:8 @who will also confirm you to the end, blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:10 @Now I exhort you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you all agree and that there be no divisions among you, but that you be made complete in the same mind and in the same judgment.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:11 @For I have been informed concerning you, my brethren, by Chloe's people, that there are quarrels among you.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:12 @Now I mean this, that each one of you is saying, "I am of Paul," and "I of Apollos," and "I of Cephas," and "I of Christ."

nasb@1Corinthians:1:13 @Has Christ been divided? Paul was not crucified for you, was he? Or were you baptized in the name of Paul?

nasb@1Corinthians:1:15 @so that no one would say you were baptized in my name.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:17 @For Christ did not send me to baptize, but to preach the gospel, not in cleverness of speech, so that the cross of Christ would not be made void.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:21 @For since in the wisdom of God the world through its wisdom did not come to know God, God was well-pleased through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:25 @Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

nasb@1Corinthians:1:27 @but God has chosen the foolish things of the world to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to shame the things which are strong,

nasb@1Corinthians:1:30 @But by His doing you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, and righteousness and sanctification, and redemption,

nasb@1Corinthians:2:1 @And when I came to you, brethren, I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom, proclaiming to you the testimony of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:4 @and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,

nasb@1Corinthians:2:5 @so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:2:11 @For who among men knows the thoughts of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so the thoughts of God no one knows except the Spirit of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:1 @And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual men, but as to men of flesh, as to infants in Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:3 @for you are still fleshly. For since there is jealousy and strife among you, are you not fleshly, and are you not walking like mere men?

nasb@1Corinthians:3:4 @For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not mere men?

nasb@1Corinthians:3:10 @According to the grace of God which was given to me, like a wise master builder I laid a foundation, and another is building on it. But each man must be careful how he builds on it.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:13 @each man's work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each man's work.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:18 @Let no man deceive himself. If any man among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise.

nasb@1Corinthians:3:21 @So then let no one boast in men. For all things belong to you,

nasb@1Corinthians:3:22 @whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come; all things belong to you,

nasb@1Corinthians:4:3 @But to me it is a very small thing that I may be examined by you, or by any human court; in fact, I do not even examine myself.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:4 @For I am conscious of nothing against myself, yet I am not by this acquitted; but the one who examines me is the Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:5 @Therefore do not go on passing judgment before the time, but wait until the Lord comes who will both bring to light the things hidden in the darkness and disclose the motives of men's hearts; and then each man's praise will come to him from God.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:6 @Now these things, brethren, I have figuratively applied to myself and Apollos for your sakes, so that in us you may learn not to exceed what is written, so that no one of you will become arrogant in behalf of one against the other.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:8 @You are already filled, you have already become rich, you have become kings without us; and indeed, I wish that you had become kings so that we also might reign with you.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:9 @For, I think, God has exhibited us apostles last of all, as men condemned to death; because we have become a spectacle to the world, both to angels and to men.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:11 @To this present hour we are both hungry and thirsty, and are poorly clothed, and are roughly treated, and are homeless;

nasb@1Corinthians:4:13 @when we are slandered, we try to conciliate; we have become as the scum of the world, the dregs of all things, even until now.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:14 @I do not write these things to shame you, but to admonish you as my beloved children.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:15 @For if you were to have countless tutors in Christ, yet you would not have many fathers, for in Christ Jesus I became your father through the gospel.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:16 @Therefore I exhort you, be imitators of me.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:18 @Now some have become arrogant, as though I were not coming to you.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:19 @But I will come to you soon, if the Lord wills, and I shall find out, not the words of those who are arrogant but their power.

nasb@1Corinthians:4:21 @What do you desireNULL Shall I come to you with a rod, or with love and a spirit of gentlenessNULL

nasb@1Corinthians:5:1 @It is actually reported that there is immorality among you, and immorality of such a kind as does not exist even among the Gentiles, that someone has his father's wife.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:2 @You have become arrogant and have not mourned instead, so that the one who had done this deed would be removed from your midst.

nasb@1Corinthians:5:4 @In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you are assembled, and I with you in spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

nasb@1Corinthians:5:10 @I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:5 @I say this to your shame. Is it so, that there is not among you one wise man who will be able to decide between his brethren,

nasb@1Corinthians:6:11 @Such were some of you; but you were washed, but you were sanctified, but you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:12 @All things are lawful for me, but not all things are profitable. All things are lawful for me, but I will not be mastered by anything.

nasb@1Corinthians:6:15 @Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take away the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? May it never be!

nasb@1Corinthians:6:16 @Or do you not know that the one who joins himself to a prostitute is one body with her? For He says, " THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH."

nasb@1Corinthians:7:5 @Stop depriving one another, except by agreement for a time, so that you may devote yourselves to prayer, and come together again so that Satan will not tempt you because of your lack of self-control.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:7 @Yet I wish that all men were even as I myself am. However, each man has his own gift from God, one in this manner, and another in that.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:18 @Was any man called when he was already circumcised? He is not to become uncircumcised. Has anyone been called in uncircumcision? He is not to be circumcised.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:19 @Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumcision is nothing, but what matters is the keeping of the commandments of God.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:21 @Were you called while a slave? Do not worry about it; but if you are able also to become free, rather do that.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:23 @You were bought with a price; do not become slaves of men.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:25 @Now concerning virgins I have no command of the Lord, but I give an opinion as one who by the mercy of the Lord is trustworthy.

nasb@1Corinthians:7:29 @But this I say, brethren, the time has been shortened, so that from now on those who have wives should be as though they had none;

nasb@1Corinthians:8:7 @However not all men have this knowledge; but some, being accustomed to the idol until now, eat food as if it were sacrificed to an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:8 @But food will not commend us to God; we are neither the worse if we do not eat, nor the better if we do eat.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:9 @But take care that this liberty of yours does not somehow become a stumbling block to the weak.

nasb@1Corinthians:8:10 @For if someone sees you, who have knowledge, dining in an idol's temple, will not his conscience, if he is weak, be strengthened to eat things sacrificed to idols?

nasb@1Corinthians:8:13 @Therefore, if food causes my brother to stumble, I will never eat meat again, so that I will not cause my brother to stumble.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:3 @My defense to those who examine me is this-

nasb@1Corinthians:9:7 @Who at any time serves as a soldier at his own expense? Who plants a vineyard and does not eat the fruit of it? Or who tends a flock and does not use the milk of the flock?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:8 @I am not speaking these things according to human judgment, am I? Or does not the Law also say these things?

nasb@1Corinthians:9:15 @But I have used none of these things. And I am not writing these things so that it will be done so in my case; for it would be better for me to die than have any man make my boast an empty one.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:16 @For if I preach the gospel, I have nothing to boast of, for I am under compulsion; for woe is me if I do not preach the gospel.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:17 @For if I do this voluntarily, I have a reward; but if against my will, I have a stewardship entrusted to me.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:19 @For though I am free from all men, I have made myself a slave to all, so that I may win more.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:20 @To the Jews I became as a Jew, so that I might win Jews; to those who are under the Law, as under the Law though not being myself under the Law, so that I might win those who are under the Law;

nasb@1Corinthians:9:22 @To the weak I became weak, that I might win the weak; I have become all things to all men, so that I may by all means save some.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:23 @I do all things for the sake of the gospel, so that I may become a fellow partaker of it.

nasb@1Corinthians:9:25 @Everyone who competes in the games exercises self-control in all things. They then do it to receive a perishable wreath, but we an imperishable.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:3 @and all ate the same spiritual food;

nasb@1Corinthians:10:4 @and all drank the same spiritual drink, for they were drinking from a spiritual rock which followed them; and the rock was Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:7 @Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written, " THE PEOPLE SAT DOWN TO EAT AND DRINK, AND STOOD UP TO PLAY."

nasb@1Corinthians:10:8 @Nor let us act immorally, as some of them did, and twenty-three thousand fell in one day.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:9 @Nor let us try the Lord, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the serpents.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:10 @Nor grumble, as some of them did, and were destroyed by the destroyer.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:11 @Now these things happened to them as an example, and they were written for our instruction, upon whom the ends of the ages have come.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:15 @I speak as to wise men; you judge what I say.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:19 @What do I mean then? That a thing sacrificed to idols is anything, or that an idol is anything?

nasb@1Corinthians:10:20 @No, but I say that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons and not to God; and I do not want you to become sharers in demons.

nasb@1Corinthians:10:25 @Eat anything that is sold in the meat market without asking questions for conscience' sake;

nasb@1Corinthians:10:28 @But if anyone says to you, "This is meat sacrificed to idols," do not eat it, for the sake of the one who informed you, and for conscience' sake;

nasb@1Corinthians:10:29 @I mean not your own conscience, but the other man's; for why is my freedom judged by another's conscience?

nasb@1Corinthians:10:33 @just as I also please all men in all things, not seeking my own profit but the profit of the many, so that they may be saved.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:1 @Be imitators of me, just as I also am of Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:2 @Now I praise you because you remember me in everything and hold firmly to the traditions, just as I delivered them to you.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:4 @Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying disgraces his head.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:5 @But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:17 @But in giving this instruction, I do not praise you, because you come together not for the better but for the worse.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:18 @For, in the first place, when you come together as a church, I hear that divisions exist among you; and in part I believe it.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:19 @For there must also be factions among you, so that those who are approved may become evident among you.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:20 @Therefore when you meet together, it is not to eat the Lord's Supper,

nasb@1Corinthians:11:22 @What! Do you not have houses in which to eat and drink? Or do you despise the church of God and shame those who have nothing? What shall I say to you? Shall I praise you? In this I will not praise you.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:24 @and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, "This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me."

nasb@1Corinthians:11:25 @In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."

nasb@1Corinthians:11:26 @For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until He comes.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:29 @For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:33 @So then, my brethren, when you come together to eat, wait for one another.

nasb@1Corinthians:11:34 @If anyone is hungry, let him eat at home, so that you will not come together for judgment. The remaining matters I will arrange when I come.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:4 @Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:5 @And there are varieties of ministries, and the same Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:6 @There are varieties of effects, but the same God who works all things in all persons.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:8 @For to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, and to another the word of knowledge according to the same Spirit;

nasb@1Corinthians:12:9 @to another faith by the same Spirit, and to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit,

nasb@1Corinthians:12:11 @But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually just as He wills.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:12 @For even as the body is one and yet has many members, and all the members of the body, though they are many, are one body, so also is Christ.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:14 @For the body is not one member, but many.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:17 @If the whole body were an eye, where would the hearing be? If the whole were hearing, where would the sense of smell be?

nasb@1Corinthians:12:18 @But now God has placed the members, each one of them, in the body, just as He desired.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:19 @If they were all one member, where would the body be?

nasb@1Corinthians:12:20 @But now there are many members, but one body.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:22 @On the contrary, it is much truer that the members of the body which seem to be weaker are necessary;

nasb@1Corinthians:12:23 @and those members of the body which we deem less honorable, on these we bestow more abundant honor, and our less presentable members become much more presentable,

nasb@1Corinthians:12:24 @whereas our more presentable members have no need of it. But God has so composed the body, giving more abundant honor to that member which lacked,

nasb@1Corinthians:12:25 @so that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:26 @And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it.

nasb@1Corinthians:12:27 @Now you are Christ's body, and individually members of it.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:1 @If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:3 @And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:10 @but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away.

nasb@1Corinthians:13:11 @When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:2 @For one who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God; for no one understands, but in his spirit he speaks mysteries.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:3 @But one who prophesies speaks to men for edification and exhortation and consolation.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:6 @But now, brethren, if I come to you speaking in tongues, what will I profit you unless I speak to you either by way of revelation or of knowledge or of prophecy or of teaching?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:10 @There are, perhaps, a great many kinds of languages in the world, and no kind is without meaning.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:11 @If then I do not know the meaning of the language, I will be to the one who speaks a barbarian, and the one who speaks will be a barbarian to me.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:15 @What is the outcome then? I will pray with the spirit and I will pray with the mind also; I will sing with the spirit and I will sing with the mind also.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:16 @Otherwise if you bless in the spirit only, how will the one who fills the place of the ungifted say the "Amen" at your giving of thanks, since he does not know what you are saying?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:21 @In the Law it is written, " BY MEN OF STRANGE TONGUES AND BY THE LIPS OF STRANGERS I WILL SPEAK TO THIS PEOPLE, AND EVEN SO THEY WILL NOT LISTEN TO ME," says the Lord.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:23 @Therefore if the whole church assembles together and all speak in tongues, and ungifted men or unbelievers enter, will they not say that you are mad?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:26 @What is the outcome then, brethren? When you assemble, each one has a psalm, has a teaching, has a revelation, has a tongue, has an interpretation. Let all things be done for edification.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:29 @Let two or three prophets speak, and let the others pass judgment.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:34 @The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but are to subject themselves, just as the Law also says.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:35 @If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.

nasb@1Corinthians:14:36 @Was it from you that the word of God first went forth? Or has it come to you only?

nasb@1Corinthians:14:37 @If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things which I write to you are the Lord's commandment.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:6 @After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:7 @then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:8 @and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:10 @But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:12 @Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

nasb@1Corinthians:15:19 @If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:21 @For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:24 @then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:32 @If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, LET US EAT AND DRINK, FOR TOMORROW WE DIE.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:34 @Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:35 @But someone will say, "How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?"

nasb@1Corinthians:15:36 @You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies;

nasb@1Corinthians:15:37 @and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:39 @All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:45 @So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:52 @in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

nasb@1Corinthians:15:54 @But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, " DEATH IS SWALLOWED UP in victory.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:2 @On the first day of every week each one of you is to put aside and save, as he may prosper, so that no collections be made when I come.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:3 @When I arrive, whomever you may approve, I will send them with letters to carry your gift to Jerusalem;

nasb@1Corinthians:16:4 @and if it is fitting for me to go also, they will go with me.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:5 @But I will come to you after I go through Macedonia, for I am going through Macedonia;

nasb@1Corinthians:16:6 @and perhaps I will stay with you, or even spend the winter, so that you may send me on my way wherever I may go.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:7 @For I do not wish to see you now just in passing; for I hope to remain with you for some time, if the Lord permits.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:9 @for a wide door for effective service has opened to me, and there are many adversaries.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:10 @Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without cause to be afraid, for he is doing the Lord's work, as I also am.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:11 @So let no one despise him. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me; for I expect him with the brethren.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:12 @But concerning Apollos our brother, I encouraged him greatly to come to you with the brethren; and it was not at all his desire to come now, but he will come when he has opportunity.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:13 @Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:16 @that you also be in subjection to such men and to everyone who helps in the work and labors.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:18 @For they have refreshed my spirit and yours. Therefore acknowledge such men.

nasb@1Corinthians:16:24 @My love be with you all in Christ Jesus. Amen.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:3 @Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,

nasb@2Corinthians:1:6 @But if we are afflicted, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which is effective in the patient enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer;

nasb@2Corinthians:1:8 @For we do not want you to be unaware, brethren, of our affliction which came to us in Asia, that we were burdened excessively, beyond our strength, so that we despaired even of life;

nasb@2Corinthians:1:15 @In this confidence I intended at first to come to you, so that you might twice receive a blessing;

nasb@2Corinthians:1:16 @that is, to pass your way into Macedonia, and again from Macedonia to come to you, and by you to be helped on my journey to Judea.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:17 @Therefore, I was not vacillating when I intended to do this, was I? Or what I purpose, do I purpose according to the flesh, so that with me there will be yes, yes and no, no at the same time?

nasb@2Corinthians:1:19 @For the Son of God, Christ Jesus, who was preached among you by us--by me and Silvanus and Timothy--was not yes and no, but is yes in Him.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:20 @For as many as are the promises of God, in Him they are yes; therefore also through Him is our Amen to the glory of God through us.

nasb@2Corinthians:1:23 @But I call God as witness to my soul, that to spare you I did not come again to Corinth.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:1 @But I determined this for my own sake, that I would not come to you in sorrow again.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:2 @For if I cause you sorrow, who then makes me glad but the one whom I made sorrowful?

nasb@2Corinthians:2:3 @This is the very thing I wrote you, so that when I came, I would not have sorrow from those who ought to make me rejoice; having confidence in you all that my joy would be the joy of you all.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:5 @But if any has caused sorrow, he has caused sorrow not to me, but in some degree--in order not to say too much--to all of you.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:6 @Sufficient for such a one is this punishment which was inflicted by the majority,

nasb@2Corinthians:2:7 @so that on the contrary you should rather forgive and comfort him, otherwise such a one might be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:11 @so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.

nasb@2Corinthians:2:12 @Now when I came to Troas for the gospel of Christ and when a door was opened for me in the Lord,

nasb@2Corinthians:3:1 @Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, as some, letters of commendation to you or from you?

nasb@2Corinthians:3:2 @You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;

nasb@2Corinthians:3:7 @But if the ministry of death, in letters engraved on stones, came with glory, so that the sons of Israel could not look intently at the face of Moses because of the glory of his face, fading as it was,

nasb@2Corinthians:3:14 @But their minds were hardened; for until this very day at the reading of the old covenant the same veil remains unlifted, because it is removed in Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:3:18 @But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:1 @Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart,

nasb@2Corinthians:4:2 @but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

nasb@2Corinthians:4:13 @But having the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, " I BELIEVED, THEREFORE I SPOKE," we also believe, therefore we also speak,

nasb@2Corinthians:4:17 @For momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison,

nasb@2Corinthians:5:6 @Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord--

nasb@2Corinthians:5:8 @we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:9 @Therefore we also have as our ambition, whether at home or absent, to be pleasing to Him.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:10 @For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may be recompensed for his deeds in the body, according to what he has done, whether good or bad.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:11 @Therefore, knowing the fear of the Lord, we persuade men, but we are made manifest to God; and I hope that we are made manifest also in your consciences.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:12 @We are not again commending ourselves to you but are giving you an occasion to be proud of us, so that you will have an answer for those who take pride in appearance and not in heart.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:17 @Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:19 @namely, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and He has committed to us the word of reconciliation.

nasb@2Corinthians:5:21 @He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in Him.

nasb@2Corinthians:6:2 @for He says, " AT THE ACCEPTABLE TIME I LISTENED TO YOU, AND ON THE DAY OF SALVATION I HELPED YOU." Behold, now is "THE ACCEPTABLE TIME," behold, now is "THE DAY OF SALVATION"--

nasb@2Corinthians:6:4 @but in everything commending ourselves as servants of God, in much endurance, in afflictions, in hardships, in distresses,

nasb@2Corinthians:6:5 @in beatings, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labors, in sleeplessness, in hunger,

nasb@2Corinthians:6:16 @Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, " I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE.

nasb@2Corinthians:6:17" @ Therefore, COME OUT FROM THEIR MIDST AND BE SEPARATE," says the Lord. "AND DO NOT TOUCH WHAT IS UNCLEAN; And I will welcome you.

nasb@2Corinthians:6:18" @ And I will be a father to you, And you shall be sons and daughters to Me," Says the Lord Almighty.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:1 @Therefore, having these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:5 @For even when we came into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were afflicted on every side- conflicts without, fears within.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:7 @and not only by his coming, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, as he reported to us your longing, your mourning, your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced even more.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:14 @For if in anything I have boasted to him about you, I was not put to shame; but as we spoke all things to you in truth, so also our boasting before Titus proved to be the truth.

nasb@2Corinthians:7:15 @His affection abounds all the more toward you, as he remembers the obedience of you all, how you received him with fear and trembling.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:9 @For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for your sake He became poor, so that you through His poverty might become rich.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:14 @at this present time your abundance being a supply for their need, so that their abundance also may become a supply for your need, that there may be equality;

nasb@2Corinthians:8:16 @But thanks be to God who puts the same earnestness on your behalf in the heart of Titus.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:18 @We have sent along with him the brother whose fame in the things of the gospel has spread through all the churches;

nasb@2Corinthians:8:21 @for we have regard for what is honorable, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men.

nasb@2Corinthians:8:23 @As for Titus, he is my partner and fellow worker among you; as for our brethren, they are messengers of the churches, a glory to Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:1 @For it is superfluous for me to write to you about this ministry to the saints;

nasb@2Corinthians:9:2 @for I know your readiness, of which I boast about you to the Macedonians, namely, that Achaia has been prepared since last year, and your zeal has stirred up most of them.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:4 @otherwise if any Macedonians come with me and find you unprepared, we--not to speak of you--will be put to shame by this confidence.

nasb@2Corinthians:9:5 @So I thought it necessary to urge the brethren that they would go on ahead to you and arrange beforehand your previously promised bountiful gift, so that the same would be ready as a bountiful gift and not affected by covetousness.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:1 @Now I, Paul, myself urge you by the meekness and gentleness of Christ--I who am meek when face to face with you, but bold toward you when absent!

nasb@2Corinthians:10:2 @I ask that when I am present I need not be bold with the confidence with which I propose to be courageous against some, who regard us as if we walked according to the flesh.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:8 @For even if I boast somewhat further about our authority, which the Lord gave for building you up and not for destroying you, I will not be put to shame,

nasb@2Corinthians:10:12 @For we are not bold to class or compare ourselves with some of those who commend themselves; but when they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are without understanding.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:13 @But we will not boast beyond our measure, but within the measure of the sphere which God apportioned to us as a measure, to reach even as far as you.

nasb@2Corinthians:10:14 @For we are not overextending ourselves, as if we did not reach to you, for we were the first to come even as far as you in the gospel of Christ;

nasb@2Corinthians:10:15 @not boasting beyond our measure, that is, in other men's labors, but with the hope that as your faith grows, we will be, within our sphere, enlarged even more by you,

nasb@2Corinthians:10:18 @For it is not he who commends himself that is approved, but he whom the Lord commends.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:1 @I wish that you would bear with me in a little foolishness; but indeed you are bearing with me.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:4 @For if one comes and preaches another Jesus whom we have not preached, or you receive a different spirit which you have not received, or a different gospel which you have not accepted, you bear this beautifully.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:9 @and when I was present with you and was in need, I was not a burden to anyone; for when the brethren came from Macedonia they fully supplied my need, and in everything I kept myself from being a burden to you, and will continue to do so.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:10 @As the truth of Christ is in me, this boasting of mine will not be stopped in the regions of Achaia.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:13 @For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:16 @Again I say, let no one think me foolish; but if you do, receive me even as foolish, so that I also may boast a little.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:21 @To my shame I must say that we have been weak by comparison. But in whatever respect anyone else is bold--I speak in foolishness--I am just as bold myself.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:23 @Are they servants of Christ?--I speak as if insane--I more so; in far more labors, in far more imprisonments, beaten times without number, often in danger of death.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:24 @Five times I received from the Jews thirty-nine lashes.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:25 @Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:26 @I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among false brethren;

nasb@2Corinthians:11:28 @Apart from such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches.

nasb@2Corinthians:11:32 @In Damascus the ethnarch under Aretas the king was guarding the city of the Damascenes in order to seize me,

nasb@2Corinthians:12:6 @For if I do wish to boast I will not be foolish, for I will be speaking the truth; but I refrain from this, so that no one will credit me with more than he sees in me or hears from me.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:7 @Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me--to keep me from exalting myself!

nasb@2Corinthians:12:8 @Concerning this I implored the Lord three times that it might leave me.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:9 @And He has said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness." Most gladly, therefore, I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:11 @I have become foolish; you yourselves compelled me. Actually I should have been commended by you, for in no respect was I inferior to the most eminent apostles, even though I am a nobody.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:12 @The signs of a true apostle were performed among you with all perseverance, by signs and wonders and miracles.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:13 @For in what respect were you treated as inferior to the rest of the churches, except that I myself did not become a burden to you? Forgive me this wrong!

nasb@2Corinthians:12:14 @Here for this third time I am ready to come to you, and I will not be a burden to you; for I do not seek what is yours, but you; for children are not responsible to save up for their parents, but parents for their children.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:18 @I urged Titus to go, and I sent the brother with him. Titus did not take any advantage of you, did he? Did we not conduct ourselves in the same spirit and walk in the same steps?

nasb@2Corinthians:12:19 @All this time you have been thinking that we are defending ourselves to you. Actually, it is in the sight of God that we have been speaking in Christ; and all for your upbuilding, beloved.

nasb@2Corinthians:12:20 @For I am afraid that perhaps when I come I may find you to be not what I wish and may be found by you to be not what you wish; that perhaps there will be strife, jealousy, angry tempers, disputes, slanders, gossip, arrogance, disturbances;

nasb@2Corinthians:12:21 @I am afraid that when I come again my God may humiliate me before you, and I may mourn over many of those who have sinned in the past and not repented of the impurity, immorality and sensuality which they have practiced.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:1 @This is the third time I am coming to you. EVERY FACT IS TO BE CONFIRMED BY THE TESTIMONY OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:2 @I have previously said when present the second time, and though now absent I say in advance to those who have sinned in the past and to all the rest as well, that if I come again I will not spare anyone,

nasb@2Corinthians:13:3 @since you are seeking for proof of the Christ who speaks in me, and who is not weak toward you, but mighty in you.

nasb@2Corinthians:13:10 @For this reason I am writing these things while absent, so that when present I need not use severity, in accordance with the authority which the Lord gave me for building up and not for tearing down.

nasb@Galatians:1:1 @Paul, an apostle ( not sent from men nor through the agency of man, but through Jesus Christ and God the Father, who raised Him from the dead),

nasb@Galatians:1:2 @and all the brethren who are with me, To the churches of Galatia-

nasb@Galatians:1:5 @to whom be the glory forevermore. Amen.

nasb@Galatians:1:7 @which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.

nasb@Galatians:1:10 @For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.

nasb@Galatians:1:11 @For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man.

nasb@Galatians:1:13 @For you have heard of my former manner of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it;

nasb@Galatians:1:14 @and I was advancing in Judaism beyond many of my contemporaries among my countrymen, being more extremely zealous for my ancestral traditions.

nasb@Galatians:1:15 @But when God, who had set me apart even from my mother's womb and called me through His grace, was pleased

nasb@Galatians:1:16 @to reveal His Son in me so that I might preach Him among the Gentiles, I did not immediately consult with flesh and blood,

nasb@Galatians:1:17 @nor did I go up to Jerusalem to those who were apostles before me; but I went away to Arabia, and returned once more to Damascus.

nasb@Galatians:1:18 @Then three years later I went up to Jerusalem to become acquainted with Cephas, and stayed with him fifteen days.

nasb@Galatians:1:19 @But I did not see any other of the apostles except James, the Lord's brother.

nasb@Galatians:1:24 @And they were glorifying God because of me.

nasb@Galatians:2:3 @But not even Titus, who was with me, though he was a Greek, was compelled to be circumcised.

nasb@Galatians:2:6 @But from those who were of high reputation (what they were makes no difference to me; God shows no partiality)--well, those who were of reputation contributed nothing to me.

nasb@Galatians:2:8 @(for He who effectually worked for Peter in his apostleship to the circumcised effectually worked for me also to the Gentiles),

nasb@Galatians:2:9 @and recognizing the grace that had been given to me, James and Cephas and John, who were reputed to be pillars, gave to me and Barnabas the right hand of fellowship, so that we might go to the Gentiles and they to the circumcised.

nasb@Galatians:2:10 @They only asked us to remember the poor-- the very thing I also was eager to do.

nasb@Galatians:2:11 @But when Cephas came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face, because he stood condemned.

nasb@Galatians:2:12 @For prior to the coming of certain men from James, he used to eat with the Gentiles; but when they came, he began to withdraw and hold himself aloof, fearing the party of the circumcision.

nasb@Galatians:2:20" @I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself up for me.

nasb@Galatians:2:21" @I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly."

nasb@Galatians:3:13 @Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law, having become a curse for us--for it is written, " CURSED IS EVERYONE WHO HANGS ON A TREE"--

nasb@Galatians:3:14 @in order that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we would receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.

nasb@Galatians:3:17 @What I am saying is this- the Law, which came four hundred and thirty years later, does not invalidate a covenant previously ratified by God, so as to nullify the promise.

nasb@Galatians:3:18 @For if the inheritance is based on law, it is no longer based on a promise; but God has granted it to Abraham by means of a promise.

nasb@Galatians:3:19 @Why the Law then? It was added because of transgressions, having been ordained through angels by the agency of a mediator, until the seed would come to whom the promise had been made.

nasb@Galatians:3:20 @Now a mediator is not for one party only; whereas God is only one.

nasb@Galatians:3:23 @But before faith came, we were kept in custody under the law, being shut up to the faith which was later to be revealed.

nasb@Galatians:3:24 @Therefore the Law has become our tutor to lead us to Christ, so that we may be justified by faith.

nasb@Galatians:3:25 @But now that faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor.

nasb@Galatians:4:3 @So also we, while we were children, were held in bondage under the elemental things of the world.

nasb@Galatians:4:4 @But when the fullness of the time came, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman, born under the Law,

nasb@Galatians:4:8 @However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods.

nasb@Galatians:4:9 @But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again?

nasb@Galatians:4:12 @I beg of you, brethren, become as I am, for I also have become as you are. You have done me no wrong;

nasb@Galatians:4:13 @but you know that it was because of a bodily illness that I preached the gospel to you the first time;

nasb@Galatians:4:14 @and that which was a trial to you in my bodily condition you did not despise or loathe, but you received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus Himself.

nasb@Galatians:4:15 @Where then is that sense of blessing you had? For I bear you witness that, if possible, you would have plucked out your eyes and given them to me.

nasb@Galatians:4:16 @So have I become your enemy by telling you the truth?

nasb@Galatians:4:17 @They eagerly seek you, not commendably, but they wish to shut you out so that you will seek them.

nasb@Galatians:4:18 @But it is good always to be eagerly sought in a commendable manner, and not only when I am present with you.

nasb@Galatians:4:19 @My children, with whom I am again in labor until Christ is formed in you--

nasb@Galatians:4:21 @Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law?

nasb@Galatians:4:24 @This is allegorically speaking, for these women are two covenants- one proceeding from Mount Sinai bearing children who are to be slaves; she is Hagar.

nasb@Galatians:4:27 @For it is written, " REJOICE, BARREN WOMAN WHO DOES NOT BEAR; FORTH AND SHOUT, YOU WHO ARE NOT IN LABOR; FOR MORE NUMEROUS ARE THE CHILDREN OF THE DESOLATE THAN OF THE ONE WHO HAS A HUSBAND."

nasb@Galatians:4:29 @But as at that time he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so it is now also.

nasb@Galatians:5:6 @For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision nor uncircumcision means anything, but faith working through love.

nasb@Galatians:5:8 @This persuasion did not come from Him who calls you.

nasb@Galatians:5:10 @I have confidence in you in the Lord that you will adopt no other view; but the one who is disturbing you will bear his judgment, whoever he is.

nasb@Galatians:5:14 @For the whole Law is fulfilled in one word, in the statement, " YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF."

nasb@Galatians:5:15 @But if you bite and devour one another, take care that you are not consumed by one another.

nasb@Galatians:5:26 @Let us not become boastful, challenging one another, envying one another.

nasb@Galatians:6:3 @For if anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

nasb@Galatians:6:9 @Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.

nasb@Galatians:6:14 @But may it never be that I would boast, except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world.

nasb@Galatians:6:16 @And those who will walk by this rule, peace and mercy be upon them, and upon the Israel of God.

nasb@Galatians:6:17 @From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus.

nasb@Galatians:6:18 @The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit, brethren. Amen.

nasb@Ephesians:1:4 @just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love

nasb@Ephesians:1:10 @with a view to an administration suitable to the fullness of the times, that is, the summing up of all things in Christ, things in the heavens and things on the earth. In Him

nasb@Ephesians:1:13 @In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation--having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise,

nasb@Ephesians:1:16 @do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers;

nasb@Ephesians:1:21 @far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

nasb@Ephesians:2:2 @in which you formerly walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, of the spirit that is now working in the sons of disobedience.

nasb@Ephesians:2:3 @Among them we too all formerly lived in the lusts of our flesh, indulging the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, even as the rest.

nasb@Ephesians:2:4 @But God, being rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,

nasb@Ephesians:2:7 @so that in the ages to come He might show the surpassing riches of His grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

nasb@Ephesians:2:11 @Therefore remember that formerly you, the Gentiles in the flesh, who are called " Uncircumcision" by the so-called " Circumcision," which is performed in the flesh by human hands--

nasb@Ephesians:2:12 @remember that you were at that time separate from Christ, excluded from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers to the covenants of promise, having no hope and without God in the world.

nasb@Ephesians:2:13 @But now in Christ Jesus you who formerly were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

nasb@Ephesians:2:15 @by abolishing in His flesh the enmity, which is the Law of commandments contained in ordinances, so that in Himself He might make the two into one new man, thus establishing peace,

nasb@Ephesians:2:17 @AND HE CAME AND PREACHED PEACE TO YOU WHO WERE FAR AWAY, AND PEACE TO THOSE WHO WERE NEAR;

nasb@Ephesians:3:2 @if indeed you have heard of the stewardship of God's grace which was given to me for you;

nasb@Ephesians:3:3 @that by revelation there was made known to me the mystery, as I wrote before in brief.

nasb@Ephesians:3:5 @which in other generations was not made known to the sons of men, as it has now been revealed to His holy apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

nasb@Ephesians:3:6 @to be specific, that the Gentiles are fellow heirs and fellow members of the body, and fellow partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel,

nasb@Ephesians:3:7 @of which I was made a minister, according to the gift of God's grace which was given to me according to the working of His power.

nasb@Ephesians:3:8 @To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ,

nasb@Ephesians:3:15 @from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name,

nasb@Ephesians:3:21 @to Him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@Ephesians:4:7 @But to each one of us grace was given according to the measure of Christ's gift.

nasb@Ephesians:4:8 @Therefore it says, " WHEN HE ASCENDED ON HIGH, HE LED CAPTIVE A HOST OF CAPTIVES, AND HE GAVE GIFTS TO MEN."

nasb@Ephesians:4:9 @(Now this expression, "He ascended," what does it mean except that He also had descended into the lower parts of the earth?

nasb@Ephesians:4:11 @And He gave some as apostles, and some as prophets, and some as evangelists, and some as pastors and teachers,

nasb@Ephesians:4:13 @until we all attain to the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to a mature man, to the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ.

nasb@Ephesians:4:14 @As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming;

nasb@Ephesians:4:19 @and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.

nasb@Ephesians:4:22 @that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit,

nasb@Ephesians:4:25 @Therefore, laying aside falsehood, SPEAK TRUTH EACH ONE of you WITH HIS NEIGHBOR, for we are members of one another.

nasb@Ephesians:4:28 @He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need.

nasb@Ephesians:4:29 @Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear.

nasb@Ephesians:5:3 @But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints;

nasb@Ephesians:5:6 @Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of these things the wrath of God comes upon the sons of disobedience.

nasb@Ephesians:5:8 @for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light

nasb@Ephesians:5:13 @But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light.

nasb@Ephesians:5:15 @Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise,

nasb@Ephesians:5:16 @making the most of your time, because the days are evil.

nasb@Ephesians:5:19 @speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord;

nasb@Ephesians:5:20 @always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father;

nasb@Ephesians:5:27 @that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.

nasb@Ephesians:5:30 @because we are members of His body.

nasb@Ephesians:5:31 @FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH.

nasb@Ephesians:6:2 @HONOR YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER (which is the first commandment with a promise),

nasb@Ephesians:6:6 @not by way of eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but as slaves of Christ, doing the will of God from the heart.

nasb@Ephesians:6:7 @With good will render service, as to the Lord, and not to men,

nasb@Ephesians:6:9 @And masters, do the same things to them, and give up threatening, knowing that both their Master and yours is in heaven, and there is no partiality with Him.

nasb@Ephesians:6:11 @Put on the full armor of God, so that you will be able to stand firm against the schemes of the devil.

nasb@Ephesians:6:17 @And take THE HELMET OF SALVATION, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

nasb@Ephesians:6:18 @With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints,

nasb@Ephesians:6:19 @and pray on my behalf, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel,

nasb@Philippians:1:3 @I thank my God in all my remembrance of you,

nasb@Philippians:1:7 @For it is only right for me to feel this way about you all, because I have you in my heart, since both in my imprisonment and in the defense and confirmation of the gospel, you all are partakers of grace with me.

nasb@Philippians:1:9 @And this I pray, that your love may abound still more and more in real knowledge and all discernment,

nasb@Philippians:1:10 @so that you may approve the things that are excellent, in order to be sincere and blameless until the day of Christ;

nasb@Philippians:1:11 @having been filled with the fruit of righteousness which comes through Jesus Christ, to the glory and praise of God.

nasb@Philippians:1:13 @so that my imprisonment in the cause of Christ has become well known throughout the whole praetorian guard and to everyone else,

nasb@Philippians:1:14 @and that most of the brethren, trusting in the Lord because of my imprisonment, have far more courage to speak the word of God without fear.

nasb@Philippians:1:15 @Some, to be sure, are preaching Christ even from envy and strife, but some also from good will;

nasb@Philippians:1:17 @the former proclaim Christ out of selfish ambition rather than from pure motives, thinking to cause me distress in my imprisonment.

nasb@Philippians:1:18 @What then? Only that in every way, whether in pretense or in truth, Christ is proclaimed; and in this I rejoice. Yes, and I will rejoice,

nasb@Philippians:1:20 @according to my earnest expectation and hope, that I will not be put to shame in anything, but that with all boldness, Christ will even now, as always, be exalted in my body, whether by life or by death.

nasb@Philippians:1:21 @For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.

nasb@Philippians:1:22 @But if I am to live on in the flesh, this will mean fruitful labor for me; and I do not know which to choose.

nasb@Philippians:1:26 @so that your proud confidence in me may abound in Christ Jesus through my coming to you again.

nasb@Philippians:1:27 @Only conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that whether I come and see you or remain absent, I will hear of you that you are standing firm in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;

nasb@Philippians:1:28 @in no way alarmed by your opponents--which is a sign of destruction for them, but of salvation for you, and that too, from God.

nasb@Philippians:1:30 @experiencing the same conflict which you saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

nasb@Philippians:2:1 @Therefore if there is any encouragement in Christ, if there is any consolation of love, if there is any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and compassion,

nasb@Philippians:2:2 @make my joy complete by being of the same mind, maintaining the same love, united in spirit, intent on one purpose.

nasb@Philippians:2:4 @do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others.

nasb@Philippians:2:7 @but emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant, and being made in the likeness of men.

nasb@Philippians:2:9 @For this reason also, God highly exalted Him, and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name,

nasb@Philippians:2:10 @so that at the name of Jesus EVERY KNEE WILL BOW, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth,

nasb@Philippians:2:15 @so that you will prove yourselves to be blameless and innocent, children of God above reproach in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation, among whom you appear as lights in the world,

nasb@Philippians:2:18 @You too, I urge you, rejoice in the same way and share your joy with me.

nasb@Philippians:2:22 @But you know of his proven worth, that he served with me in the furtherance of the gospel like a child serving his father.

nasb@Philippians:2:23 @Therefore I hope to send him immediately, as soon as I see how things go with me;

nasb@Philippians:2:25 @But I thought it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and fellow worker and fellow soldier, who is also your messenger and minister to my need;

nasb@Philippians:2:27 @For indeed he was sick to the point of death, but God had mercy on him, and not on him only but also on me, so that I would not have sorrow upon sorrow.

nasb@Philippians:2:29 @Receive him then in the Lord with all joy, and hold men like him in high regard;

nasb@Philippians:2:30 @because he came close to death for the work of Christ, risking his life to complete what was deficient in your service to me.

nasb@Philippians:3:1 @Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things again is no trouble to me, and it is a safeguard for you.

nasb@Philippians:3:6 @as to zeal, a persecutor of the church; as to the righteousness which is in the Law, found blameless.

nasb@Philippians:3:7 @But whatever things were gain to me, those things I have counted as loss for the sake of Christ.

nasb@Philippians:3:9 @and may be found in Him, not having a righteousness of my own derived from the Law, but that which is through faith in Christ, the righteousness which comes from God on the basis of faith,

nasb@Philippians:3:10 @that I may know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His sufferings, being conformed to His death;

nasb@Philippians:3:12 @Not that I have already obtained it or have already become perfect, but I press on so that I may lay hold of that for which also I was laid hold of by Christ Jesus.

nasb@Philippians:3:16 @however, let us keep living by that same standard to which we have attained.

nasb@Philippians:3:19 @whose end is destruction, whose god is their appetite, and whose glory is in their shame, who set their minds on earthly things.

nasb@Philippians:4:3 @Indeed, true companion, I ask you also to help these women who have shared my struggle in the cause of the gospel, together with Clement also and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the book of life.

nasb@Philippians:4:5 @Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near.

nasb@Philippians:4:9 @The things you have learned and received and heard and seen in me, practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you.

nasb@Philippians:4:10 @But I rejoiced in the Lord greatly, that now at last you have revived your concern for me; indeed, you were concerned before, but you lacked opportunity.

nasb@Philippians:4:12 @I know how to get along with humble means, and I also know how to live in prosperity; in any and every circumstance I have learned the secret of being filled and going hungry, both of having abundance and suffering need.

nasb@Philippians:4:13 @I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.

nasb@Philippians:4:14 @Nevertheless, you have done well to share with me in my affliction.

nasb@Philippians:4:15 @You yourselves also know, Philippians, that at the first preaching of the gospel, after I left Macedonia, no church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving but you alone;

nasb@Philippians:4:20 @Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@Philippians:4:21 @Greet every saint in Christ Jesus. The brethren who are with me greet you.

nasb@Colossians:1:6 @which has come to you, just as in all the world also it is constantly bearing fruit and increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth;

nasb@Colossians:1:8 @and he also informed us of your love in the Spirit.

nasb@Colossians:1:18 @He is also head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything.

nasb@Colossians:1:21 @And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds,

nasb@Colossians:1:22 @yet He has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him holy and blameless and beyond reproach--

nasb@Colossians:1:23 @if indeed you continue in the faith firmly established and steadfast, and not moved away from the hope of the gospel that you have heard, which was proclaimed in all creation under heaven, and of which I, Paul, was made a minister.

nasb@Colossians:1:25 @Of this church I was made a minister according to the stewardship from God bestowed on me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God,

nasb@Colossians:1:29 @For this purpose also I labor, striving according to His power, which mightily works within me.

nasb@Colossians:2:2 @that their hearts may be encouraged, having been knit together in love, and attaining to all the wealth that comes from the full assurance of understanding, resulting in a true knowledge of God's mystery, that is, Christ Himself,

nasb@Colossians:2:4 @I say this so that no one will delude you with persuasive argument.

nasb@Colossians:2:8 @See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception, according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the world, rather than according to Christ.

nasb@Colossians:2:15 @When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him.

nasb@Colossians:2:17 @things which are a mere shadow of what is to come; but the substance belongs to Christ.

nasb@Colossians:2:18 @Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind,

nasb@Colossians:2:19 @and not holding fast to the head, from whom the entire body, being supplied and held together by the joints and ligaments, grows with a growth which is from God.

nasb@Colossians:2:20 @If you have died with Christ to the elementary principles of the world, why, as if you were living in the world, do you submit yourself to decrees, such as,

nasb@Colossians:2:22 @(which all refer to things destined to perish with use)--in accordance with the commandments and teachings of men?

nasb@Colossians:2:23 @These are matters which have, to be sure, the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body, but are of no value against fleshly indulgence.

nasb@Colossians:3:5 @Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry.

nasb@Colossians:3:6 @For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience,

nasb@Colossians:3:17 @Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

nasb@Colossians:3:22 @Slaves, in all things obey those who are your masters on earth, not with external service, as those who merely please men, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord.

nasb@Colossians:3:23 @Whatever you do, do your work heartily, as for the Lord rather than for men,

nasb@Colossians:4:3 @praying at the same time for us as well, that God will open up to us a door for the word, so that we may speak forth the mystery of Christ, for which I have also been imprisoned;

nasb@Colossians:4:10 @Aristarchus, my fellow prisoner, sends you his greetings; and also Barnabas's cousin Mark (about whom you received instructions; if he comes to you, welcome him);

nasb@Colossians:4:11 @and also Jesus who is called Justus; these are the only fellow workers for the kingdom of God who are from the circumcision, and they have proved to be an encouragement to me.

nasb@Colossians:4:18 @I, Paul, write this greeting with my own hand. Remember my imprisonment. Grace be with you.

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:2 @We give thanks to God always for all of you, making mention of you in our prayers;

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:5 @for our gospel did not come to you in word only, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full conviction; just as you know what kind of men we proved to be among you for your sake.

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:6 @You also became imitators of us and of the Lord, having received the word in much tribulation with the joy of the Holy Spirit,

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:7 @so that you became an example to all the believers in Macedonia and in Achaia.

nasb@1Thessalonians:1:10 @and to wait for His Son from heaven, whom He raised from the dead, that is Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath to come.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:3 @For our exhortation does not come from error or impurity or by way of deceit;

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:4 @but just as we have been approved by God to be entrusted with the gospel, so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who examines our hearts.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:5 @For we never came with flattering speech, as you know, nor with a pretext for greed-- God is witness--

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:6 @nor did we seek glory from men, either from you or from others, even though as apostles of Christ we might have asserted our authority.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:8 @Having so fond an affection for you, we were well-pleased to impart to you not only the gospel of God but also our own lives, because you had become very dear to us.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:9 @For you recall, brethren, our labor and hardship, how working night and day so as not to be a burden to any of you, we proclaimed to you the gospel of God.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:10 @You are witnesses, and so is God, how devoutly and uprightly and blamelessly we behaved toward you believers;

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:13 @For this reason we also constantly thank God that when you received the word of God which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but for what it really is, the word of God, which also performs its work in you who believe.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:14 @For you, brethren, became imitators of the churches of God in Christ Jesus that are in Judea, for you also endured the same sufferings at the hands of your own countrymen, even as they did from the Jews,

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:15 @who both killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets, and drove us out. They are not pleasing to God, but hostile to all men,

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:16 @hindering us from speaking to the Gentiles so that they may be saved; with the result that they always fill up the measure of their sins. But wrath has come upon them to the utmost.

nasb@1Thessalonians:2:18 @For we wanted to come to you--I, Paul, more than once--and yet Satan hindered us.

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:4 @For indeed when we were with you, we kept telling you in advance that we were going to suffer affliction; and so it came to pass, as you know.

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:6 @But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has brought us good news of your faith and love, and that you always think kindly of us, longing to see us just as we also long to see you,

nasb@1Thessalonians:3:13 @so that He may establish your hearts without blame in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus with all His saints.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:2 @For you know what commandments we gave you by the authority of the Lord Jesus.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:13 @But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope.

nasb@1Thessalonians:4:17 @Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:1 @Now as to the times and the epochs, brethren, you have no need of anything to be written to you.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:2 @For you yourselves know full well that the day of the Lord will come just like a thief in the night.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:3 @While they are saying, " Peace and safety!" then destruction will come upon them suddenly like labor pains upon a woman with child, and they will not escape.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:8 @But since we are of the day, let us be sober, having put on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet, the hope of salvation.

nasb@1Thessalonians:5:23 @Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:5 @This is a plain indication of God's righteous judgment so that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:10 @when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed--for our testimony to you was believed.

nasb@2Thessalonians:1:12 @so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:2 @that you not be quickly shaken from your composure or be disturbed either by a spirit or a message or a letter as if from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come.

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:3 @Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction,

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:5 @Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things?

nasb@2Thessalonians:2:6 @And you know what restrains him now, so that in his time he will be revealed.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:2 @and that we will be rescued from perverse and evil men; for not all have faith.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:6 @Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother who leads an unruly life and not according to the tradition which you received from us.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:11 @For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies.

nasb@2Thessalonians:3:14 @If anyone does not obey our instruction in this letter, take special note of that person and do not associate with him, so that he will be put to shame.

nasb@1Timothy:1:1 @Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus according to the commandment of God our Savior, and of Christ Jesus, who is our hope,

nasb@1Timothy:1:2 @To Timothy, my true child in the faith- Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

nasb@1Timothy:1:3 @As I urged you upon my departure for Macedonia, remain on at Ephesus so that you may instruct certain men not to teach strange doctrines,

nasb@1Timothy:1:4 @nor to pay attention to myths and endless genealogies, which give rise to mere speculation rather than furthering the administration of God which is by faith.

nasb@1Timothy:1:6 @For some men, straying from these things, have turned aside to fruitless discussion,

nasb@1Timothy:1:10 @and immoral men and homosexuals and kidnappers and liars and perjurers, and whatever else is contrary to sound teaching,

nasb@1Timothy:1:12 @I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who has strengthened me, because He considered me faithful, putting me into service,

nasb@1Timothy:1:13 @even though I was formerly a blasphemer and a persecutor and a violent aggressor. Yet I was shown mercy because I acted ignorantly in unbelief;

nasb@1Timothy:1:15 @It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.

nasb@1Timothy:1:16 @Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.

nasb@1Timothy:1:17 @Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@1Timothy:1:19 @keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith.

nasb@1Timothy:1:20 @Among these are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have handed over to Satan, so that they will be taught not to blaspheme.

nasb@1Timothy:2:1 @First of all, then, I urge that entreaties and prayers, petitions and thanksgivings, be made on behalf of all men,

nasb@1Timothy:2:4 @who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.

nasb@1Timothy:2:5 @For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

nasb@1Timothy:2:6 @who gave Himself as a ransom for all, the testimony given at the proper time.

nasb@1Timothy:2:8 @Therefore I want the men in every place to pray, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and dissension.

nasb@1Timothy:2:9 @Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments,

nasb@1Timothy:2:10 @but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness.

nasb@1Timothy:2:15 @But women will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.

nasb@1Timothy:3:1 @It is a trustworthy statement- if any man aspires to the office of overseer, it is a fine work he desires to do.

nasb@1Timothy:3:6 @and not a new convert, so that he will not become conceited and fall into the condemnation incurred by the devil.

nasb@1Timothy:3:8 @Deacons likewise must be men of dignity, not double-tongued, or addicted to much wine or fond of sordid gain,

nasb@1Timothy:3:10 @These men must also first be tested; then let them serve as deacons if they are beyond reproach.

nasb@1Timothy:3:11 @Women must likewise be dignified, not malicious gossips, but temperate, faithful in all things.

nasb@1Timothy:3:14 @I am writing these things to you, hoping to come to you before long;

nasb@1Timothy:3:16 @By common confession, great is the mystery of godliness- He who was revealed in the flesh, Was vindicated in the Spirit, Seen by angels, Proclaimed among the nations, Believed on in the world, Taken up in glory.

nasb@1Timothy:4:1 @But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,

nasb@1Timothy:4:2 @by means of the hypocrisy of liars seared in their own conscience as with a branding iron,

nasb@1Timothy:4:3 @men who forbid marriage and advocate abstaining from foods which God has created to be gratefully shared in by those who believe and know the truth.

nasb@1Timothy:4:5 @for it is sanctified by means of the word of God and prayer.

nasb@1Timothy:4:7 @But have nothing to do with worldly fables fit only for old women. On the other hand, discipline yourself for the purpose of godliness;

nasb@1Timothy:4:8 @for bodily discipline is only of little profit, but godliness is profitable for all things, since it holds promise for the present life and also for the life to come.

nasb@1Timothy:4:9 @It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance.

nasb@1Timothy:4:10 @For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers.

nasb@1Timothy:4:13 @Until I come, give attention to the public reading of Scripture, to exhortation and teaching.

nasb@1Timothy:5:1 @Do not sharply rebuke an older man, but rather appeal to him as a father, to the younger men as brothers,

nasb@1Timothy:5:2 @the older women as mothers, and the younger women as sisters, in all purity.

nasb@1Timothy:5:4 @but if any widow has children or grandchildren, they must first learn to practice piety in regard to their own family and to make some return to their parents; for this is acceptable in the sight of God.

nasb@1Timothy:5:13 @At the same time they also learn to be idle, as they go around from house to house; and not merely idle, but also gossips and busybodies, talking about things not proper to mention.

nasb@1Timothy:5:15 @for some have already turned aside to follow Satan.

nasb@1Timothy:5:23 @No longer drink water exclusively, but use a little wine for the sake of your stomach and your frequent ailments.

nasb@1Timothy:5:24 @The sins of some men are quite evident, going before them to judgment; for others, their sins follow after.

nasb@1Timothy:6:1 @All who are under the yoke as slaves are to regard their own masters as worthy of all honor so that the name of God and our doctrine will not be spoken against.

nasb@1Timothy:6:5 @and constant friction between men of depraved mind and deprived of the truth, who suppose that godliness is a means of gain.

nasb@1Timothy:6:6 @But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment.

nasb@1Timothy:6:9 @But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction.

nasb@1Timothy:6:10 @For the love of money is a root of all sorts of evil, and some by longing for it have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.

nasb@1Timothy:6:14 @that you keep the commandment without stain or reproach until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@1Timothy:6:15 @which He will bring about at the proper time--He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords,

nasb@1Timothy:6:16 @who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.

nasb@1Timothy:6:20 @O Timothy, guard what has been entrusted to you, avoiding worldly and empty chatter and the opposing arguments of what is falsely called "knowledge"--

nasb@1Timothy:6:21 @which some have professed and thus gone astray from the faith. Grace be with you.

nasb@2Timothy:1:2 @To Timothy, my beloved son- Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

nasb@2Timothy:1:3 @I thank God, whom I serve with a clear conscience the way my forefathers did, as I constantly remember you in my prayers night and day,

nasb@2Timothy:1:8 @Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony of our Lord or of me His prisoner, but join with me in suffering for the gospel according to the power of God,

nasb@2Timothy:1:12 @For this reason I also suffer these things, but I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him until that day.

nasb@2Timothy:1:13 @Retain the standard of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus.

nasb@2Timothy:1:15 @You are aware of the fact that all who are in Asia turned away from me, among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes.

nasb@2Timothy:1:16 @The Lord grant mercy to the house of Onesiphorus, for he often refreshed me and was not ashamed of my chains;

nasb@2Timothy:1:17 @but when he was in Rome, he eagerly searched for me and found me--

nasb@2Timothy:1:18 @the Lord grant to him to find mercy from the Lord on that day--and you know very well what services he rendered at Ephesus.

nasb@2Timothy:2:2 @The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also.

nasb@2Timothy:2:3 @Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.

nasb@2Timothy:2:6 @The hard-working farmer ought to be the first to receive his share of the crops.

nasb@2Timothy:2:8 @Remember Jesus Christ, risen from the dead, descendant of David, according to my gospel,

nasb@2Timothy:2:9 @for which I suffer hardship even to imprisonment as a criminal; but the word of God is not imprisoned.

nasb@2Timothy:2:11 @It is a trustworthy statement- For if we died with Him, we will also live with Him;

nasb@2Timothy:2:15 @Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth.

nasb@2Timothy:2:17 @and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,

nasb@2Timothy:2:18 @men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and they upset the faith of some.

nasb@2Timothy:2:19 @Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, " The Lord knows those who are His," and, " Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness."

nasb@2Timothy:2:20 @Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of earthenware, and some to honor and some to dishonor.

nasb@2Timothy:2:24 @The Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be kind to all, able to teach, patient when wronged,

nasb@2Timothy:2:26 @and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, having been held captive by him to do his will.

nasb@2Timothy:3:1 @But realize this, that in the last days difficult times will come.

nasb@2Timothy:3:2 @For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy,

nasb@2Timothy:3:5 @holding to a form of godliness, although they have denied its power; Avoid such men as these.

nasb@2Timothy:3:6 @For among them are those who enter into households and captivate weak women weighed down with sins, led on by various impulses,

nasb@2Timothy:3:7 @always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

nasb@2Timothy:3:8 @Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses, so these men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind, rejected in regard to the faith.

nasb@2Timothy:3:11 @persecutions, and sufferings, such as happened to me at Antioch, at Iconium and at Lystra; what persecutions I endured, and out of them all the Lord rescued me!

nasb@2Timothy:3:13 @But evil men and impostors will proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived.

nasb@2Timothy:3:14 @You, however, continue in the things you have learned and become convinced of, knowing from whom you have learned them,

nasb@2Timothy:4:3 @For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,

nasb@2Timothy:4:6 @For I am already being poured out as a drink offering, and the time of my departure has come.

nasb@2Timothy:4:8 @in the future there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, will award to me on that day; and not only to me, but also to all who have loved His appearing.

nasb@2Timothy:4:9 @Make every effort to come to me soon;

nasb@2Timothy:4:10 @for Demas, having loved this present world, has deserted me and gone to Thessalonica; Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia.

nasb@2Timothy:4:11 @Only Luke is with me. Pick up Mark and bring him with you, for he is useful to me for service.

nasb@2Timothy:4:13 @When you come bring the cloak which I left at Troas with Carpus, and the books, especially the parchments.

nasb@2Timothy:4:14 @Alexander the coppersmith did me much harm; the Lord will repay him according to his deeds.

nasb@2Timothy:4:16 @At my first defense no one supported me, but all deserted me; may it not be counted against them.

nasb@2Timothy:4:17 @But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so that through me the proclamation might be fully accomplished, and that all the Gentiles might hear; and I was rescued out of the lion's mouth.

nasb@2Timothy:4:18 @The Lord will rescue me from every evil deed, and will bring me safely to His heavenly kingdom; to Him be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@2Timothy:4:21 @Make every effort to come before winter. Eubulus greets you, also Pudens and Linus and Claudia and all the brethren.

nasb@Titus:1:3 @but at the proper time manifested, even His word, in the proclamation with which I was entrusted according to the commandment of God our Savior,

nasb@Titus:1:6 @namely, if any man is above reproach, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of dissipation or rebellion.

nasb@Titus:1:10 @For there are many rebellious men, empty talkers and deceivers, especially those of the circumcision,

nasb@Titus:1:14 @not paying attention to Jewish myths and commandments of men who turn away from the truth.

nasb@Titus:2:2 @Older men are to be temperate, dignified, sensible, sound in faith, in love, in perseverance.

nasb@Titus:2:3 @Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good,

nasb@Titus:2:4 @so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children,

nasb@Titus:2:5 @to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored.

nasb@Titus:2:6 @Likewise urge the young men to be sensible;

nasb@Titus:2:8 @sound in speech which is beyond reproach, so that the opponent will be put to shame, having nothing bad to say about us.

nasb@Titus:2:9 @Urge bondslaves to be subject to their own masters in everything, to be well-pleasing, not argumentative,

nasb@Titus:2:11 @For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,

nasb@Titus:3:2 @to malign no one, to be peaceable, gentle, showing every consideration for all men.

nasb@Titus:3:5 @He saved us, not on the basis of deeds which we have done in righteousness, but according to His mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewing by the Holy Spirit,

nasb@Titus:3:8 @This is a trustworthy statement; and concerning these things I want you to speak confidently, so that those who have believed God will be careful to engage in good deeds. These things are good and profitable for men.

nasb@Titus:3:12 @When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, make every effort to come to me at Nicopolis, for I have decided to spend the winter there.

nasb@Titus:3:14 @Our people must also learn to engage in good deeds to meet pressing needs, so that they will not be unfruitful.

nasb@Titus:3:15 @All who are with me greet you. Greet those who love us in the faith. Grace be with you all.

nasb@Philemon:1:4 @I thank my God always, making mention of you in my prayers,

nasb@Philemon:1:6 @and I pray that the fellowship of your faith may become effective through the knowledge of every good thing which is in you for Christ's sake.

nasb@Philemon:1:7 @For I have come to have much joy and comfort in your love, because the hearts of the saints have been refreshed through you, brother.

nasb@Philemon:1:10 @I appeal to you for my child Onesimus, whom I have begotten in my imprisonment,

nasb@Philemon:1:11 @who formerly was useless to you, but now is useful both to you and to me.

nasb@Philemon:1:13 @whom I wished to keep with me, so that on your behalf he might minister to me in my imprisonment for the gospel;

nasb@Philemon:1:16 @no longer as a slave, but more than a slave, a beloved brother, especially to me, but how much more to you, both in the flesh and in the Lord.

nasb@Philemon:1:17 @If then you regard me a partner, accept him as you would me.

nasb@Philemon:1:19 @I, Paul, am writing this with my own hand, I will repay it ( not to mention to you that you owe to me even your own self as well).

nasb@Philemon:1:20 @Yes, brother, let me benefit from you in the Lord; refresh my heart in Christ.

nasb@Philemon:1:22 @At the same time also prepare me a lodging, for I hope that through your prayers I will be given to you.

nasb@Hebrews:1:4 @having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they.

nasb@Hebrews:1:5 @For to which of the angels did He ever say, " YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU"? And again, " I WILL BE A FATHER TO HIM AND HE SHALL BE A SON TO ME"?

nasb@Hebrews:1:7 @And of the angels He says, " WHO MAKES HIS ANGELS WINDS, AND HIS MINISTERS A FLAME OF FIRE."

nasb@Hebrews:1:11 @THEY WILL PERISH, BUT YOU REMAIN; AND THEY ALL WILL BECOME OLD LIKE A GARMENT,

nasb@Hebrews:1:12 @AND LIKE A MANTLE YOU WILL ROLL THEM UP; LIKE A GARMENT THEY WILL ALSO BE CHANGED. BUT YOU ARE THE SAME, AND YOUR YEARS WILL NOT COME TO AN END."

nasb@Hebrews:2:3 @how will we escape if we neglect so great a salvation? After it was at the first spoken through the Lord, it was confirmed to us by those who heard,

nasb@Hebrews:2:5 @For He did not subject to angels the world to come, concerning which we are speaking.

nasb@Hebrews:2:6 @But one has testified somewhere, saying, " WHAT IS MAN, THAT YOU REMEMBER HIM? OR THE SON OF MAN, THAT YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT HIM?

nasb@Hebrews:2:9 @But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

nasb@Hebrews:2:11 @For both He who sanctifies and those who are sanctified are all from one Father; for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren,

nasb@Hebrews:2:12 @saying, " I WILL PROCLAIM YOUR NAME TO MY BRETHREN, IN THE MIDST OF THE CONGREGATION I WILL SING YOUR PRAISE."

nasb@Hebrews:2:13 @And again, " I WILL PUT MY TRUST IN HIM." And again, " BEHOLD, I AND THE CHILDREN WHOM GOD HAS GIVEN ME."

nasb@Hebrews:2:14 @Therefore, since the children share in flesh and blood, He Himself likewise also partook of the same, that through death He might render powerless him who had the power of death, that is, the devil,

nasb@Hebrews:2:17 @Therefore, He had to be made like His brethren in all things, so that He might become a merciful and faithful high priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

nasb@Hebrews:2:18 @For since He Himself was tempted in that which He has suffered, He is able to come to the aid of those who are tempted.

nasb@Hebrews:3:4 @For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.

nasb@Hebrews:3:8 @DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME, AS IN THE DAY OF TRIAL IN THE WILDERNESS,

nasb@Hebrews:3:9 @WHERE YOUR FATHERS TRIED Me BY TESTING Me, AND SAW MY WORKS FOR FORTY YEARS.

nasb@Hebrews:3:14 @For we have become partakers of Christ, if we hold fast the beginning of our assurance firm until the end,

nasb@Hebrews:3:15 @while it is said, " TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS, AS WHEN THEY PROVOKED ME."

nasb@Hebrews:3:16 @For who provoked Him when they had heard? Indeed, did not all those who came out of Egypt led by Moses?

nasb@Hebrews:4:1 @Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it.

nasb@Hebrews:4:4 @For He has said somewhere concerning the seventh day- " AND GOD RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY FROM ALL HIS WORKS";

nasb@Hebrews:4:6 @Therefore, since it remains for some to enter it, and those who formerly had good news preached to them failed to enter because of disobedience,

nasb@Hebrews:4:7 @He again fixes a certain day, "Today," saying through David after so long a time just as has been said before, " TODAY IF YOU HEAR HIS VOICE, DO NOT HARDEN YOUR HEARTS."

nasb@Hebrews:4:11 @Therefore let us be diligent to enter that rest, so that no one will fall, through following the same example of disobedience.

nasb@Hebrews:4:16 @Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

nasb@Hebrews:5:1 @For every high priest taken from among men is appointed on behalf of men in things pertaining to God, in order to offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins;

nasb@Hebrews:5:5 @So also Christ did not glorify Himself so as to become a high priest, but He who said to Him, " YOU ARE MY SON, TODAY I HAVE BEGOTTEN YOU";

nasb@Hebrews:5:6 @just as He says also in another passage, " YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK."

nasb@Hebrews:5:9 @And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,

nasb@Hebrews:5:10 @being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek.

nasb@Hebrews:5:11 @Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

nasb@Hebrews:5:12 @For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

nasb@Hebrews:5:13 @For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant.

nasb@Hebrews:6:1 @Therefore leaving the elementary teaching about the Christ, let us press on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God,

nasb@Hebrews:6:2 @of instruction about washings and laying on of hands, and the resurrection of the dead and eternal judgment.

nasb@Hebrews:6:5 @and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come,

nasb@Hebrews:6:6 @and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God and put Him to open shame.

nasb@Hebrews:6:10 @For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints.

nasb@Hebrews:6:11 @And we desire that each one of you show the same diligence so as to realize the full assurance of hope until the end,

nasb@Hebrews:6:16 @For men swear by one greater than themselves, and with them an oath given as confirmation is an end of every dispute.

nasb@Hebrews:6:17 @In the same way God, desiring even more to show to the heirs of the promise the unchangeableness of His purpose, interposed with an oath,

nasb@Hebrews:6:18 @so that by two unchangeable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we who have taken refuge would have strong encouragement to take hold of the hope set before us.

nasb@Hebrews:6:20 @where Jesus has entered as a forerunner for us, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.

nasb@Hebrews:7:1 @For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, who met Abraham as he was returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

nasb@Hebrews:7:2 @to whom also Abraham apportioned a tenth part of all the spoils, was first of all, by the translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then also king of Salem, which is king of peace.

nasb@Hebrews:7:5 @And those indeed of the sons of Levi who receive the priest's office have commandment in the Law to collect a tenth from the people, that is, from their brethren, although these are descended from Abraham.

nasb@Hebrews:7:8 @In this case mortal men receive tithes, but in that case one receives them, of whom it is witnessed that he lives on.

nasb@Hebrews:7:10 @for he was still in the loins of his father when Melchizedek met him.

nasb@Hebrews:7:11 @Now if perfection was through the Levitical priesthood (for on the basis of it the people received the Law), what further need was there for another priest to arise according to the order of Melchizedek, and not be designated according to the order of Aaron?

nasb@Hebrews:7:15 @And this is clearer still, if another priest arises according to the likeness of Melchizedek,

nasb@Hebrews:7:16 @who has become such not on the basis of a law of physical requirement, but according to the power of an indestructible life.

nasb@Hebrews:7:17 @For it is attested of Him, " YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER ACCORDING TO THE ORDER OF MELCHIZEDEK."

nasb@Hebrews:7:18 @For, on the one hand, there is a setting aside of a former commandment because of its weakness and uselessness

nasb@Hebrews:7:21 @(for they indeed became priests without an oath, but He with an oath through the One who said to Him, " THE LORD HAS SWORN AND WILL NOT CHANGE HIS MIND, 'YOU ARE A PRIEST FOREVER'");

nasb@Hebrews:7:22 @so much the more also Jesus has become the guarantee of a better covenant.

nasb@Hebrews:7:23 @The former priests, on the one hand, existed in greater numbers because they were prevented by death from continuing,

nasb@Hebrews:7:28 @For the Law appoints men as high priests who are weak, but the word of the oath, which came after the Law, appoints a Son, made perfect forever.

nasb@Hebrews:8:3 @For every high priest is appointed to offer both gifts and sacrifices; so it is necessary that this high priest also have something to offer.

nasb@Hebrews:8:6 @But now He has obtained a more excellent ministry, by as much as He is also the mediator of a better covenant, which has been enacted on better promises.

nasb@Hebrews:8:11" @ AND THEY SHALL NOT TEACH EVERYONE HIS FELLOW CITIZEN, AND EVERYONE HIS BROTHER, SAYING, 'KNOW THE LORD,' FOR ALL WILL KNOW ME, FROM THE LEAST TO THE GREATEST OF THEM.

nasb@Hebrews:8:12" @ FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR INIQUITIES, AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE."

nasb@Hebrews:9:5 @and above it were the cherubim of glory overshadowing the mercy seat; but of these things we cannot now speak in detail.

nasb@Hebrews:9:9 @which is a symbol for the present time. Accordingly both gifts and sacrifices are offered which cannot make the worshiper perfect in conscience,

nasb@Hebrews:9:10 @since they relate only to food and drink and various washings, regulations for the body imposed until a time of reformation.

nasb@Hebrews:9:11 @But when Christ appeared as a high priest of the good things to come, He entered through the greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation;

nasb@Hebrews:9:15 @For this reason He is the mediator of a new covenant, so that, since a death has taken place for the redemption of the transgressions that were committed under the first covenant, those who have been called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

nasb@Hebrews:9:17 @For a covenant is valid only when men are dead, for it is never in force while the one who made it lives.

nasb@Hebrews:9:19 @For when every commandment had been spoken by Moses to all the people according to the Law, he took the blood of the calves and the goats, with water and scarlet wool and hyssop, and sprinkled both the book itself and all the people,

nasb@Hebrews:9:21 @And in the same way he sprinkled both the tabernacle and all the vessels of the ministry with the blood.

nasb@Hebrews:9:24 @For Christ did not enter a holy place made with hands, a mere copy of the true one, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us;

nasb@Hebrews:9:27 @And inasmuch as it is appointed for men to die once and after this comes judgment,

nasb@Hebrews:9:28 @so Christ also, having been offered once to bear the sins of many, will appear a second time for salvation without reference to sin, to those who eagerly await Him.

nasb@Hebrews:10:1 @For the Law, since it has only a shadow of the good things to come and not the very form of things, can never, by the same sacrifices which they offer continually year by year, make perfect those who draw near.

nasb@Hebrews:10:5 @Therefore, when He comes into the world, He says, " SACRIFICE AND OFFERING YOU HAVE NOT DESIRED, BUT A BODY YOU HAVE PREPARED FOR ME;

nasb@Hebrews:10:9 @then He said, " BEHOLD, I HAVE COME TO DO YOUR WILL." He takes away the first in order to establish the second.

nasb@Hebrews:10:11 @Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins;

nasb@Hebrews:10:12 @but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, SAT DOWN AT THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD,

nasb@Hebrews:10:13 @waiting from that time onward UNTIL HIS ENEMIES BE MADE A FOOTSTOOL FOR HIS FEET.

nasb@Hebrews:10:14 @For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.

nasb@Hebrews:10:17" @ AND THEIR SINS AND THEIR LAWLESS DEEDS I WILL REMEMBER NO MORE."

nasb@Hebrews:10:25 @not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.

nasb@Hebrews:10:27 @but a terrifying expectation of judgment and THE FURY OF A FIRE WHICH WILL CONSUME THE ADVERSARIES.

nasb@Hebrews:10:28 @Anyone who has set aside the Law of Moses dies without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses.

nasb@Hebrews:10:29 @How much severer punishment do you think he will deserve who has trampled under foot the Son of God, and has regarded as unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

nasb@Hebrews:10:32 @But remember the former days, when, after being enlightened, you endured a great conflict of sufferings,

nasb@Hebrews:10:37 @FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE, HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY.

nasb@Hebrews:11:2 @For by it the men of old gained approval.

nasb@Hebrews:11:6 @And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.

nasb@Hebrews:11:7 @By faith Noah, being warned by God about things not yet seen, in reverence prepared an ark for the salvation of his household, by which he condemned the world, and became an heir of the righteousness which is according to faith.

nasb@Hebrews:11:9 @By faith he lived as an alien in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, dwelling in tents with Isaac and Jacob, fellow heirs of the same promise;

nasb@Hebrews:11:11 @By faith even Sarah herself received ability to conceive, even beyond the proper time of life, since she considered Him faithful who had promised.

nasb@Hebrews:11:12 @Therefore there was born even of one man, and him as good as dead at that, as many descendants AS THE STARS OF HEAVEN IN NUMBER, AND INNUMERABLE AS THE SAND WHICH IS BY THE SEASHORE.

nasb@Hebrews:11:13 @All these died in faith, without receiving the promises, but having seen them and having welcomed them from a distance, and having confessed that they were strangers and exiles on the earth.

nasb@Hebrews:11:16 @But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God; for He has prepared a city for them.

nasb@Hebrews:11:20 @By faith Isaac blessed Jacob and Esau, even regarding things to come.

nasb@Hebrews:11:22 @By faith Joseph, when he was dying, made mention of the exodus of the sons of Israel, and gave orders concerning his bones.

nasb@Hebrews:11:25 @choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin,

nasb@Hebrews:11:31 @By faith Rahab the harlot did not perish along with those who were disobedient, after she had welcomed the spies in peace.

nasb@Hebrews:11:32 @And what more shall I say? For time will fail me if I tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets,

nasb@Hebrews:11:33 @who by faith conquered kingdoms, performed acts of righteousness, obtained promises, shut the mouths of lions,

nasb@Hebrews:11:34 @quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, from weakness were made strong, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight.

nasb@Hebrews:11:35 @Women received back their dead by resurrection; and others were tortured, not accepting their release, so that they might obtain a better resurrection;

nasb@Hebrews:11:36 @and others experienced mockings and scourgings, yes, also chains and imprisonment.

nasb@Hebrews:11:38 @(men of whom the world was not worthy), wandering in deserts and mountains and caves and holes in the ground.

nasb@Hebrews:11:40 @because God had provided something better for us, so that apart from us they would not be made perfect.

nasb@Hebrews:12:2 @fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

nasb@Hebrews:12:8 @But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons.

nasb@Hebrews:12:10 @For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, so that we may share His holiness.

nasb@Hebrews:12:11 @All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness.

nasb@Hebrews:12:13 @and make straight paths for your feet, so that the limb which is lame may not be put out of joint, but rather be healed.

nasb@Hebrews:12:14 @Pursue peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no one will see the Lord.

nasb@Hebrews:12:15 @See to it that no one comes short of the grace of God; that no root of bitterness springing up causes trouble, and by it many be defiled;

nasb@Hebrews:12:16 @that there be no immoral or godless person like Esau, who sold his own birthright for a single meal.

nasb@Hebrews:12:18 @For you have not come to a mountain that can be touched and to a blazing fire, and to darkness and gloom and whirlwind,

nasb@Hebrews:12:22 @But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels,

nasb@Hebrews:12:24 @and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel.

nasb@Hebrews:13:2 @Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.

nasb@Hebrews:13:3 @Remember the prisoners, as though in prison with them, and those who are ill-treated, since you yourselves also are in the body.

nasb@Hebrews:13:6 @so that we confidently say, " THE LORD IS MY HELPER, I WILL NOT BE AFRAID. WHAT WILL MAN DO TO ME?"

nasb@Hebrews:13:7 @Remember those who led you, who spoke the word of God to you; and considering the result of their conduct, imitate their faith.

nasb@Hebrews:13:8 @Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

nasb@Hebrews:13:14 @For here we do not have a lasting city, but we are seeking the city which is to come.

nasb@Hebrews:13:15 @Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.

nasb@Hebrews:13:21 @equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@Hebrews:13:23 @Take notice that our brother Timothy has been released, with whom, if he comes soon, I will see you.

nasb@James:1:1 @James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad- Greetings.

nasb@James:1:2 @Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,

nasb@James:1:3 @knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.

nasb@James:1:4 @And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing.

nasb@James:1:5 @But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him.

nasb@James:1:6 @But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind.

nasb@James:1:7 @For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord,

nasb@James:1:8 @being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.

nasb@James:1:9 @But the brother of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position;

nasb@James:1:10 @and the rich man is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away.

nasb@James:1:11 @For the sun rises with a scorching wind and withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so too the rich man in the midst of his pursuits will fade away.

nasb@James:1:12 @Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.

nasb@James:1:13 @Let no one say when he is tempted, " I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone.

nasb@James:1:14 @But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.

nasb@James:1:15 @Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is accomplished, it brings forth death.

nasb@James:1:16 @Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren.

nasb@James:1:17 @Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.

nasb@James:1:18 @In the exercise of His will He brought us forth by the word of truth, so that we would be a kind of first fruits among His creatures.

nasb@James:1:19 @This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger;

nasb@James:1:20 @for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.

nasb@James:1:21 @Therefore, putting aside all filthiness and all that remains of wickedness, in humility receive the word implanted, which is able to save your souls.

nasb@James:1:22 @But prove yourselves doers of the word, and not merely hearers who delude themselves.

nasb@James:1:23 @For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks at his natural face in a mirror;

nasb@James:1:24 @for once he has looked at himself and gone away, he has immediately forgotten what kind of person he was.

nasb@James:1:25 @But one who looks intently at the perfect law, the law of liberty, and abides by it, not having become a forgetful hearer but an effectual doer, this man will be blessed in what he does.

nasb@James:1:26 @If anyone thinks himself to be religious, and yet does not bridle his tongue but deceives his own heart, this man's religion is worthless.

nasb@James:1:27 @Pure and undefiled religion in the sight of our God and Father is this- to visit orphans and widows in their distress, and to keep oneself unstained by the world.

nasb@James:2:1 @My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism.

nasb@James:2:2 @For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in dirty clothes,

nasb@James:2:3 @and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes, and say, "You sit here in a good place," and you say to the poor man, "You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool,"

nasb@James:2:4 @have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil motives?

nasb@James:2:5 @Listen, my beloved brethren- did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him?

nasb@James:2:6 @But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you and personally drag you into court?

nasb@James:2:7 @Do they not blaspheme the fair name by which you have been called?

nasb@James:2:8 @If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, " YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF," you are doing well.

nasb@James:2:9 @But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors.

nasb@James:2:10 @For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all.

nasb@James:2:11 @For He who said, " DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY," also said, " DO NOT COMMIT MURDER." Now if you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law.

nasb@James:2:12 @So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty.

nasb@James:2:13 @For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment.

nasb@James:2:14 @What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?

nasb@James:2:15 @If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food,

nasb@James:2:16 @and one of you says to them, " Go in peace, be warmed and be filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?

nasb@James:2:17 @Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.

nasb@James:2:18 @But someone may well say, "You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works."

nasb@James:2:19 @You believe that God is one. You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.

nasb@James:2:20 @But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?

nasb@James:2:21 @Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?

nasb@James:2:22 @You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected;

nasb@James:2:23 @and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, " AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS," and he was called the friend of God.

nasb@James:2:24 @You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.

nasb@James:2:25 @In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?

nasb@James:2:26 @For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.

nasb@James:3:1 @Let not many of you become teachers, my brethren, knowing that as such we will incur a stricter judgment.

nasb@James:3:2 @For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well.

nasb@James:3:3 @Now if we put the bits into the horses' mouths so that they will obey us, we direct their entire body as well.

nasb@James:3:4 @Look at the ships also, though they are so great and are driven by strong winds, are still directed by a very small rudder wherever the inclination of the pilot desires.

nasb@James:3:5 @So also the tongue is a small part of the body, and yet it boasts of great things. See how great a forest is set aflame by such a small fire!

nasb@James:3:6 @And the tongue is a fire, the very world of iniquity; the tongue is set among our members as that which defiles the entire body, and sets on fire the course of our life, and is set on fire by hell.

nasb@James:3:7 @For every species of beasts and birds, of reptiles and creatures of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by the human race.

nasb@James:3:8 @But no one can tame the tongue; it is a restless evil and full of deadly poison.

nasb@James:3:9 @With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the likeness of God;

nasb@James:3:10 @from the same mouth come both blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be this way.

nasb@James:3:11 @Does a fountain send out from the same opening both fresh and bitter water?

nasb@James:3:12 @Can a fig tree, my brethren, produce olives, or a vine produce figs? Nor can salt water produce fresh.

nasb@James:3:13 @Who among you is wise and understanding? Let him show by his good behavior his deeds in the gentleness of wisdom.

nasb@James:3:14 @But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth.

nasb@James:3:15 @This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic.

nasb@James:3:16 @For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing.

nasb@James:3:17 @But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy.

nasb@James:3:18 @And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.

nasb@James:4:1 @What is the source of quarrels and conflicts among you? Is not the source your pleasures that wage war in your members?

nasb@James:4:2 @You lust and do not have; so you commit murder. You are envious and cannot obtain; so you fight and quarrel. You do not have because you do not ask.

nasb@James:4:3 @You ask and do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your pleasures.

nasb@James:4:4 @You adulteresses, do you not know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God? Therefore whoever wishes to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.

nasb@James:4:5 @Or do you think that the Scripture speaks to no purpose- " He jealously desires the Spirit which He has made to dwell in us"?

nasb@James:4:6 @But He gives a greater grace. Therefore it says, " GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE."

nasb@James:4:7 @Submit therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.

nasb@James:4:8 @Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

nasb@James:4:9 @Be miserable and mourn and weep; let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to gloom.

nasb@James:4:10 @Humble yourselves in the presence of the Lord, and He will exalt you.

nasb@James:4:11 @Do not speak against one another, brethren. He who speaks against a brother or judges his brother, speaks against the law and judges the law; but if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge of it.

nasb@James:4:12 @There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the One who is able to save and to destroy; but who are you who judge your neighbor?

nasb@James:4:13 @Come now, you who say, " Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit."

nasb@James:4:14 @Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away.

nasb@James:4:15 @Instead, you ought to say, " If the Lord wills, we will live and also do this or that."

nasb@James:4:16 @But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil.

nasb@James:4:17 @Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do and does not do it, to him it is sin.

nasb@James:5:1 @Come now, you rich, weep and howl for your miseries which are coming upon you.

nasb@James:5:2 @Your riches have rotted and your garments have become moth-eaten.

nasb@James:5:3 @Your gold and your silver have rusted; and their rust will be a witness against you and will consume your flesh like fire. It is in the last days that you have stored up your treasure!

nasb@James:5:4 @Behold, the pay of the laborers who mowed your fields, and which has been withheld by you, cries out against you; and the outcry of those who did the harvesting has reached the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth.

nasb@James:5:5 @You have lived luxuriously on the earth and led a life of wanton pleasure; you have fattened your hearts in a day of slaughter.

nasb@James:5:6 @You have condemned and put to death the righteous man; he does not resist you.

nasb@James:5:7 @Therefore be patient, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. The farmer waits for the precious produce of the soil, being patient about it, until it gets the early and late rains.

nasb@James:5:8 @You too be patient; strengthen your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is near.

nasb@James:5:9 @Do not complain, brethren, against one another, so that you yourselves may not be judged; behold, the Judge is standing right at the door.

nasb@James:5:10 @As an example, brethren, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord.

nasb@James:5:11 @We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord's dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful.

nasb@James:5:12 @But above all, my brethren, do not swear, either by heaven or by earth or with any other oath; but your yes is to be yes, and your no, no, so that you may not fall under judgment.

nasb@James:5:13 @Is anyone among you suffering? Then he must pray. Is anyone cheerful? He is to sing praises.

nasb@James:5:14 @Is anyone among you sick? Then he must call for the elders of the church and they are to pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;

nasb@James:5:15 @and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.

nasb@James:5:16 @Therefore, confess your sins to one another, and pray for one another so that you may be healed. The effective prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.

nasb@James:5:17 @Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain, and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months.

nasb@James:5:18 @Then he prayed again, and the sky poured rain and the earth produced its fruit.

nasb@James:5:19 @My brethren, if any among you strays from the truth and one turns him back,

nasb@James:5:20 @let him know that he who turns a sinner from the error of his way will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins.

nasb@1Peter:1:2 @according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood- May grace and peace be yours in the fullest measure.

nasb@1Peter:1:3 @Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His great mercy has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,

nasb@1Peter:1:5 @who are protected by the power of God through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.

nasb@1Peter:1:9 @obtaining as the outcome of your faith the salvation of your souls.

nasb@1Peter:1:10 @As to this salvation, the prophets who prophesied of the grace that would come to you made careful searches and inquiries,

nasb@1Peter:1:11 @seeking to know what person or time the Spirit of Christ within them was indicating as He predicted the sufferings of Christ and the glories to follow.

nasb@1Peter:1:14 @As obedient children, do not be conformed to the former lusts which were yours in your ignorance,

nasb@1Peter:1:17 @If you address as Father the One who impartially judges according to each one's work, conduct yourselves in fear during the time of your stay on earth;

nasb@1Peter:1:18 @knowing that you were not redeemed with perishable things like silver or gold from your futile way of life inherited from your forefathers,

nasb@1Peter:1:20 @For He was foreknown before the foundation of the world, but has appeared in these last times for the sake of you

nasb@1Peter:2:4 @And coming to Him as to a living stone which has been rejected by men, but is choice and precious in the sight of God,

nasb@1Peter:2:7 @This precious value, then, is for you who believe; but for those who disbelieve, " THE STONE WHICH THE BUILDERS REJECTED, THIS BECAME THE VERY CORNER stone,"

nasb@1Peter:2:10 @for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.

nasb@1Peter:2:14 @or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right.

nasb@1Peter:2:15 @For such is the will of God that by doing right you may silence the ignorance of foolish men.

nasb@1Peter:2:16 @Act as free men, and do not use your freedom as a covering for evil, but use it as bondslaves of God.

nasb@1Peter:3:1 @In the same way, you wives, be submissive to your own husbands so that even if any of them are disobedient to the word, they may be won without a word by the behavior of their wives,

nasb@1Peter:3:3 @Your adornment must not be merely external--braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses;

nasb@1Peter:3:5 @For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands;

nasb@1Peter:3:6 @just as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him lord, and you have become her children if you do what is right without being frightened by any fear.

nasb@1Peter:3:7 @You husbands in the same way, live with your wives in an understanding way, as with someone weaker, since she is a woman; and show her honor as a fellow heir of the grace of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.

nasb@1Peter:3:16 @and keep a good conscience so that in the thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in Christ will be put to shame.

nasb@1Peter:4:1 @Therefore, since Christ has suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same purpose, because he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin,

nasb@1Peter:4:2 @so as to live the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.

nasb@1Peter:4:3 @For the time already past is sufficient for you to have carried out the desire of the Gentiles, having pursued a course of sensuality, lusts, drunkenness, carousing, drinking parties and abominable idolatries.

nasb@1Peter:4:4 @In all this, they are surprised that you do not run with them into the same excesses of dissipation, and they malign you;

nasb@1Peter:4:6 @For the gospel has for this purpose been preached even to those who are dead, that though they are judged in the flesh as men, they may live in the spirit according to the will of God.

nasb@1Peter:4:7 @The end of all things is near; therefore, be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer.

nasb@1Peter:4:11 @Whoever speaks, is to do so as one who is speaking the utterances of God; whoever serves is to do so as one who is serving by the strength which God supplies; so that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belongs the glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@1Peter:4:12 @Beloved, do not be surprised at the fiery ordeal among you, which comes upon you for your testing, as though some strange thing were happening to you;

nasb@1Peter:4:14 @If you are reviled for the name of Christ, you are blessed, because the Spirit of glory and of God rests on you.

nasb@1Peter:4:15 @Make sure that none of you suffers as a murderer, or thief, or evildoer, or a troublesome meddler;

nasb@1Peter:4:16 @but if anyone suffers as a Christian, he is not to be ashamed, but is to glorify God in this name.

nasb@1Peter:4:17 @For it is time for judgment to begin with the household of God; and if it begins with us first, what will be the outcome for those who do not obey the gospel of God?

nasb@1Peter:4:18 @AND IF IT IS WITH DIFFICULTY THAT THE RIGHTEOUS IS SAVED, WHAT WILL BECOME OF THE GODLESS MAN AND THE SINNER?

nasb@1Peter:5:5 @You younger men, likewise, be subject to your elders; and all of you, clothe yourselves with humility toward one another, for GOD IS OPPOSED TO THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE HUMBLE.

nasb@1Peter:5:6 @Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time,

nasb@1Peter:5:8 @Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.

nasb@1Peter:5:9 @But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.

nasb@1Peter:5:11 @To Him be dominion forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@2Peter:1:1 @Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours, by the righteousness of our God and Savior, Jesus Christ-

nasb@2Peter:1:4 @For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust.

nasb@2Peter:1:9 @For he who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted, having forgotten his purification from his former sins.

nasb@2Peter:1:14 @knowing that the laying aside of my earthly dwelling is imminent, as also our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

nasb@2Peter:1:15 @And I will also be diligent that at any time after my departure you will be able to call these things to mind.

nasb@2Peter:1:21 @for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God.

nasb@2Peter:2:3 @and in their greed they will exploit you with false words; their judgment from long ago is not idle, and their destruction is not asleep.

nasb@2Peter:2:4 @For if God did not spare angels when they sinned, but cast them into hell and committed them to pits of darkness, reserved for judgment;

nasb@2Peter:2:7 @and if He rescued righteous Lot, oppressed by the sensual conduct of unprincipled men

nasb@2Peter:2:8 @(for by what he saw and heard that righteous man, while living among them, felt his righteous soul tormented day after day by their lawless deeds),

nasb@2Peter:2:9 @then the Lord knows how to rescue the godly from temptation, and to keep the unrighteous under punishment for the day of judgment,

nasb@2Peter:2:11 @whereas angels who are greater in might and power do not bring a reviling judgment against them before the Lord.

nasb@2Peter:2:13 @suffering wrong as the wages of doing wrong. They count it a pleasure to revel in the daytime. They are stains and blemishes, reveling in their deceptions, as they carouse with you,

nasb@2Peter:2:19 @promising them freedom while they themselves are slaves of corruption; for by what a man is overcome, by this he is enslaved.

nasb@2Peter:2:20 @For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world by the knowledge of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and are overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first.

nasb@2Peter:2:21 @For it would be better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than having known it, to turn away from the holy commandment handed on to them.

nasb@2Peter:3:2 @that you should remember the words spoken beforehand by the holy prophets and the commandment of the Lord and Savior spoken by your apostles.

nasb@2Peter:3:3 @Know this first of all, that in the last days mockers will come with their mocking, following after their own lusts,

nasb@2Peter:3:5 @For when they maintain this, it escapes their notice that by the word of God the heavens existed long ago and the earth was formed out of water and by water,

nasb@2Peter:3:6 @through which the world at that time was destroyed, being flooded with water.

nasb@2Peter:3:7 @But by His word the present heavens and earth are being reserved for fire, kept for the day of judgment and destruction of ungodly men.

nasb@2Peter:3:9 @The Lord is not slow about His promise, as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing for any to perish but for all to come to repentance.

nasb@2Peter:3:10 @But the day of the Lord will come like a thief, in which the heavens will pass away with a roar and the elements will be destroyed with intense heat, and the earth and its works will be burned up.

nasb@2Peter:3:12 @looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be destroyed by burning, and the elements will melt with intense heat!

nasb@2Peter:3:14 @Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless,

nasb@2Peter:3:16 @as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction.

nasb@2Peter:3:17 @You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, be on your guard so that you are not carried away by the error of unprincipled men and fall from your own steadfastness,

nasb@2Peter:3:18 @but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.

nasb@1John:1:5 @This is the message we have heard from Him and announce to you, that God is Light, and in Him there is no darkness at all.

nasb@1John:2:3 @By this we know that we have come to know Him, if we keep His commandments.

nasb@1John:2:4 @The one who says, " I have come to know Him," and does not keep His commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him;

nasb@1John:2:6 @the one who says he abides in Him ought himself to walk in the same manner as He walked.

nasb@1John:2:7 @Beloved, I am not writing a new commandment to you, but an old commandment which you have had from the beginning; the old commandment is the word which you have heard.

nasb@1John:2:8 @On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining.

nasb@1John:2:12 @I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you for His name's sake.

nasb@1John:2:13 @I am writing to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the evil one. I have written to you, children, because you know the Father.

nasb@1John:2:14 @I have written to you, fathers, because you know Him who has been from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

nasb@1John:2:28 @Now, little children, abide in Him, so that when He appears, we may have confidence and not shrink away from Him in shame at His coming.

nasb@1John:3:11 @For this is the message which you have heard from the beginning, that we should love one another;

nasb@1John:3:22 @and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight.

nasb@1John:3:23 @This is His commandment, that we believe in the name of His Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, just as He commanded us.

nasb@1John:3:24 @The one who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. We know by this that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.

nasb@1John:4:2 @By this you know the Spirit of God- every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God;

nasb@1John:4:4 @You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.

nasb@1John:4:12 @No one has seen God at any time; if we love one another, God abides in us, and His love is perfected in us.

nasb@1John:4:16 @We have come to know and have believed the love which God has for us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him.

nasb@1John:4:17 @By this, love is perfected with us, so that we may have confidence in the day of judgment; because as He is, so also are we in this world.

nasb@1John:4:18 @There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves punishment, and the one who fears is not perfected in love.

nasb@1John:4:20 @If someone says, "I love God," and hates his brother, he is a liar; for the one who does not love his brother whom he has seen, cannot love God whom he has not seen.

nasb@1John:4:21 @And this commandment we have from Him, that the one who loves God should love his brother also.

nasb@1John:5:2 @By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and observe His commandments.

nasb@1John:5:3 @For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments; and His commandments are not burdensome.

nasb@1John:5:4 @For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world--our faith.

nasb@1John:5:5 @Who is the one who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God?

nasb@1John:5:6 @This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood. It is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth.

nasb@1John:5:8 @the Spirit and the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.

nasb@1John:5:9 @If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater; for the testimony of God is this, that He has testified concerning His Son.

nasb@1John:5:13 @These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life.

nasb@1John:5:20 @And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life.

nasb@2John:1:3 @Grace, mercy and peace will be with us, from God the Father and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love.

nasb@2John:1:4 @I was very glad to find some of your children walking in truth, just as we have received commandment to do from the Father.

nasb@2John:1:5 @Now I ask you, lady, not as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another.

nasb@2John:1:6 @And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.

nasb@2John:1:10 @If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house, and do not give him a greeting;

nasb@2John:1:12 @Though I have many things to write to you, I do not want to do so with paper and ink; but I hope to come to you and speak face to face, so that your joy may be made full.

nasb@1John:1:3 @For I was very glad when brethren came and testified to your truth, that is, how you are walking in truth.

nasb@1John:1:7 @For they went out for the sake of the Name, accepting nothing from the Gentiles.

nasb@1John:1:8 @Therefore we ought to support such men, so that we may be fellow workers with the truth.

nasb@1John:1:9 @I wrote something to the church; but Diotrephes, who loves to be first among them, does not accept what we say.

nasb@1John:1:10 @For this reason, if I come, I will call attention to his deeds which he does, unjustly accusing us with wicked words; and not satisfied with this, he himself does not receive the brethren, either, and he forbids those who desire to do so and puts them out of the church.

nasb@1John:1:12 @Demetrius has received a good testimony from everyone, and from the truth itself; and we add our testimony, and you know that our testimony is true.

nasb@1John:1:15 @Peace be to you. The friends greet you. Greet the friends by name.

nasb@Jude:1:1 @Jude, a bond-servant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, To those who are the called, beloved in God the Father, and kept for Jesus Christ-

nasb@Jude:1:2 @May mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.

nasb@Jude:1:6 @And angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode, He has kept in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day,

nasb@Jude:1:7 @just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

nasb@Jude:1:8 @Yet in the same way these men, also by dreaming, defile the flesh, and reject authority, and revile angelic majesties.

nasb@Jude:1:9 @But Michael the archangel, when he disputed with the devil and argued about the body of Moses, did not dare pronounce against him a railing judgment, but said, " The Lord rebuke you!"

nasb@Jude:1:10 @But these men revile the things which they do not understand; and the things which they know by instinct, like unreasoning animals, by these things they are destroyed.

nasb@Jude:1:12 @These are the men who are hidden reefs in your love feasts when they feast with you without fear, caring for themselves; clouds without water, carried along by winds; autumn trees without fruit, doubly dead, uprooted;

nasb@Jude:1:13 @wild waves of the sea, casting up their own shame like foam; wandering stars, for whom the black darkness has been reserved forever.

nasb@Jude:1:14 @It was also about these men that Enoch, in the seventh generation from Adam, prophesied, saying, " Behold, the Lord came with many thousands of His holy ones,

nasb@Jude:1:15 @to execute judgment upon all, and to convict all the ungodly of all their ungodly deeds which they have done in an ungodly way, and of all the harsh things which ungodly sinners have spoken against Him."

nasb@Jude:1:17 @But you, beloved, ought to remember the words that were spoken beforehand by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

nasb@Jude:1:18 @that they were saying to you, " In the last time there will be mockers, following after their own ungodly lusts."

nasb@Jude:1:21 @keep yourselves in the love of God, waiting anxiously for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to eternal life.

nasb@Jude:1:22 @And have mercy on some, who are doubting;

nasb@Jude:1:23 @save others, snatching them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the garment polluted by the flesh.

nasb@Jude:1:24 @Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy,

nasb@Jude:1:25 @to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, dominion and authority, before all time and now and forever. Amen.

nasb@Revelation:1:3 @Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of the prophecy, and heed the things which are written in it; for the time is near.

nasb@Revelation:1:4 @John to the seven churches that are in Asia- Grace to you and peace, from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who are before His throne,

nasb@Revelation:1:6 @and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father-- to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

nasb@Revelation:1:7 @BEHOLD, HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS, and every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen.

nasb@Revelation:1:8" @I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, " who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

nasb@Revelation:1:10 @I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like the sound of a trumpet,

nasb@Revelation:1:12 @Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands;

nasb@Revelation:1:14 @His head and His hair were white like white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire.

nasb@Revelation:1:16 @In His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength.

nasb@Revelation:1:17 @When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, " Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last,

nasb@Revelation:2:2 @' I know your deeds and your toil and perseverance, and that you cannot tolerate evil men, and you put to the test those who call themselves apostles, and they are not, and you found them to be false;

nasb@Revelation:2:5 @'Therefore remember from where you have fallen, and repent and do the deeds you did at first; or else I am coming to you and will remove your lampstand out of its place--unless you repent.

nasb@Revelation:2:13 @'I know where you dwell, where Satan's throne is; and you hold fast My name, and did not deny My faith even in the days of Antipas, My witness, My faithful one, who was killed among you, where Satan dwells.

nasb@Revelation:2:15 @'So you also have some who in the same way hold the teaching of the Nicolaitans.

nasb@Revelation:2:17 @' He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes, to him I will give some of the hidden manna, and I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.'

nasb@Revelation:10:2" @Leave out the court which is outside the temple and do not measure it, for it has been given to the nations; and they will tread under foot the holy city for forty-two months.

nasb@Revelation:10:7 @When they have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up out of the abyss will make war with them, and overcome them and kill them.

nasb@Revelation:10:10 @And those who dwell on the earth will rejoice over them and celebrate; and they will send gifts to one another, because these two prophets tormented those who dwell on the earth.

nasb@Revelation:10:11 @But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God came into them, and they stood on their feet; and great fear fell upon those who were watching them.

nasb@Revelation:10:12 @And they heard a loud voice from heaven saying to them, " Come up here." Then they went up into heaven in the cloud, and their enemies watched them.

nasb@Revelation:10:15 @Then the seventh angel sounded; and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, " The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of His Christ; and He will reign forever and ever."

nasb@Revelation:10:18" @And the nations were enraged, and Your wrath came, and the time came for the dead to be judged, and the time to reward Your bond-servants the prophets and the saints and those who fear Your name, the small and the great, and to destroy those who destroy the earth."

nasb@Revelation:11:10 @Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, he who accuses them before our God day and night.

nasb@Revelation:11:11" @And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even when faced with death.

nasb@Revelation:11:12" @For this reason, rejoice, O heavens and you who dwell in them. Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, knowing that he has only a short time."

nasb@Revelation:11:14 @But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent.

nasb@Revelation:11:17 @So the dragon was enraged with the woman, and went off to make war with the rest of her children, who keep the commandments of God and hold to the testimony of Jesus.

nasb@Revelation:12:1 @And the dragon stood on the sand of the seashore. Then I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns were ten diadems, and on his heads were blasphemous names.

nasb@Revelation:12:6 @And he opened his mouth in blasphemies against God, to blaspheme His name and His tabernacle, that is, those who dwell in heaven.

nasb@Revelation:12:7 @It was also given to him to make war with the saints and to overcome them, and authority over every tribe and people and tongue and nation was given to him.

nasb@Revelation:12:8 @All who dwell on the earth will worship him, everyone whose name has not been written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain.

nasb@Revelation:12:13 @He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down out of heaven to the earth in the presence of men.

nasb@Revelation:12:14 @And he deceives those who dwell on the earth because of the signs which it was given him to perform in the presence of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who had the wound of the sword and has come to life.

nasb@Revelation:12:16 @And he causes all, the small and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free men and the slaves, to be given a mark on their right hand or on their forehead,

nasb@Revelation:12:17 @and he provides that no one will be able to buy or to sell, except the one who has the mark, either the name of the beast or the number of his name.

nasb@Revelation:13:1 @Then I looked, and behold, the Lamb was standing on Mount Zion, and with Him one hundred and forty-four thousand, having His name and the name of His Father written on their foreheads.

nasb@Revelation:13:4 @These are the ones who have not been defiled with women, for they have kept themselves chaste. These are the ones who follow the Lamb wherever He goes. These have been purchased from among men as first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

nasb@Revelation:13:5 @And no lie was found in their mouth; they are blameless.

nasb@Revelation:13:7 @and he said with a loud voice, " Fear God, and give Him glory, because the hour of His judgment has come; worship Him who made the heaven and the earth and sea and springs of waters."

nasb@Revelation:13:10 @he also will drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is mixed in full strength in the cup of His anger; and he will be tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

nasb@Revelation:13:11" @And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever; they have no rest day and night, those who worship the beast and his image, and whoever receives the mark of his name."

nasb@Revelation:13:12 @Here is the perseverance of the saints who keep the commandments of God and their faith in Jesus.

nasb@Revelation:13:15 @And another angel came out of the temple, crying out with a loud voice to Him who sat on the cloud, " Put in your sickle and reap, for the hour to reap has come, because the harvest of the earth is ripe."

nasb@Revelation:13:17 @And another angel came out of the temple which is in heaven, and he also had a sharp sickle.

nasb@Revelation:13:18 @Then another angel, the one who has power over fire, came out from the altar; and he called with a loud voice to him who had the sharp sickle, saying, " Put in your sharp sickle and gather the clusters from the vine of the earth, because her grapes are ripe."

nasb@Revelation:13:20 @And the wine press was trodden outside the city, and blood came out from the wine press, up to the horses' bridles, for a distance of two hundred miles.

nasb@Revelation:14:2 @And I saw something like a sea of glass mixed with fire, and those who had been victorious over the beast and his image and the number of his name, standing on the sea of glass, holding harps of God.

nasb@Revelation:14:4" @ Who will not fear, O Lord, and glorify Your name? For You alone are holy; For ALL THE NATIONS WILL COME AND WORSHIP BEFORE YOU, FOR YOUR RIGHTEOUS ACTS HAVE BEEN REVEALED."

nasb@Revelation:14:6 @and the seven angels who had the seven plagues came out of the temple, clothed in linen, clean and bright, and girded around their chests with golden sashes.

nasb@Revelation:15:2 @So the first angel went and poured out his bowl on the earth; and it became a loathsome and malignant sore on the people who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his image.

nasb@Revelation:15:3 @The second angel poured out his bowl into the sea, and it became blood like that of a dead man; and every living thing in the sea died.

nasb@Revelation:15:4 @Then the third angel poured out his bowl into the rivers and the springs of waters; and they became blood.

nasb@Revelation:15:7 @And I heard the altar saying, "Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgments."

nasb@Revelation:15:8 @The fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun, and it was given to it to scorch men with fire.

nasb@Revelation:15:9 @Men were scorched with fierce heat; and they blasphemed the name of God who has the power over these plagues, and they did not repent so as to give Him glory.

nasb@Revelation:15:10 @Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom became darkened; and they gnawed their tongues because of pain,

nasb@Revelation:15:11 @and they blasphemed the God of heaven because of their pains and their sores; and they did not repent of their deeds.

nasb@Revelation:15:15 @("Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who stays awake and keeps his clothes, so that he will not walk about naked and men will not see his shame.")

nasb@Revelation:15:17 @Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl upon the air, and a loud voice came out of the temple from the throne, saying, " It is done."

nasb@Revelation:15:18 @And there were flashes of lightning and sounds and peals of thunder; and there was a great earthquake, such as there had not been since man came to be upon the earth, so great an earthquake was it, and so mighty.

nasb@Revelation:15:19 @The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath.

nasb@Revelation:15:21 @And huge hailstones, about one hundred pounds each, came down from heaven upon men; and men blasphemed God because of the plague of the hail, because its plague was extremely severe.

nasb@Revelation:16:1 @Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and spoke with me, saying, "Come here, I will show you the judgment of the great harlot who sits on many waters,

nasb@Revelation:16:3 @And he carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness; and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast, full of blasphemous names, having seven heads and ten horns.

nasb@Revelation:16:5 @and on her forehead a name was written, a mystery, " BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH."

nasb@Revelation:16:7 @And the angel said to me, "Why do you wonder? I will tell you the mystery of the woman and of the beast that carries her, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

nasb@Revelation:16:8" @ The beast that you saw was, and is not, and is about to come up out of the abyss and go to destruction. And those who dwell on the earth, whose name has not been written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, will wonder when they see the beast, that he was and is not and will come.

nasb@Revelation:16:10 @and they are seven kings; five have fallen, one is, the other has not yet come; and when he comes, he must remain a little while.

nasb@Revelation:16:14" @These will wage war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those who are with Him are the called and chosen and faithful."

nasb@Revelation:16:15 @And he said to me, "The waters which you saw where the harlot sits, are peoples and multitudes and nations and tongues.

nasb@Revelation:17:2 @And he cried out with a mighty voice, saying, " Fallen, fallen is Babylon the great! She has become a dwelling place of demons and a prison of every unclean spirit, and a prison of every unclean and hateful bird.

nasb@Revelation:17:3" @For all the nations have drunk of the wine of the passion of her immorality, and the kings of the earth have committed acts of immorality with her, and the merchants of the earth have become rich by the wealth of her sensuality."

nasb@Revelation:17:4 @I heard another voice from heaven, saying, " Come out of her, my people, so that you will not participate in her sins and receive of her plagues;

nasb@Revelation:17:5 @for her sins have piled up as high as heaven, and God has remembered her iniquities.

nasb@Revelation:17:7" @ To the degree that she glorified herself and lived sensuously, to the same degree give her torment and mourning; for she says in her heart, ' I SIT as A QUEEN AND I AM NOT A WIDOW, and will never see mourning.'

nasb@Revelation:17:8" @For this reason in one day her plagues will come, pestilence and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for the Lord God who judges her is strong.

nasb@Revelation:17:9" @And the kings of the earth, who committed acts of immorality and lived sensuously with her, will weep and lament over her when they see the smoke of her burning,

nasb@Revelation:17:10 @standing at a distance because of the fear of her torment, saying, ' Woe, woe, the great city, Babylon, the strong city! For in one hour your judgment has come.'

nasb@Revelation:17:11" @And the merchants of the earth weep and mourn over her, because no one buys their cargoes any more--

nasb@Revelation:17:13 @and cinnamon and spice and incense and perfume and frankincense and wine and olive oil and fine flour and wheat and cattle and sheep, and cargoes of horses and chariots and slaves and human lives.

nasb@Revelation:17:14" @The fruit you long for has gone from you, and all things that were luxurious and splendid have passed away from you and men will no longer find them.

nasb@Revelation:17:15" @The merchants of these things, who became rich from her, will stand at a distance because of the fear of her torment, weeping and mourning,

nasb@Revelation:17:19" @And they threw dust on their heads and were crying out, weeping and mourning, saying, ' Woe, woe, the great city, in which all who had ships at sea became rich by her wealth, for in one hour she has been laid waste!'

nasb@Revelation:17:20" @ Rejoice over her, O heaven, and you saints and apostles and prophets, because God has pronounced judgment for you against her."

nasb@Revelation:17:23 @and the light of a lamp will not shine in you any longer; and the voice of the bridegroom and bride will not be heard in you any longer; for your merchants were the great men of the earth, because all the nations were deceived by your sorcery.

nasb@Revelation:18:1 @After these things I heard something like a loud voice of a great multitude in heaven, saying, " Hallelujah! Salvation and glory and power belong to our God;

nasb@Revelation:18:2 @BECAUSE HIS JUDGMENTS ARE TRUE AND RIGHTEOUS; for He has judged the great harlot who was corrupting the earth with her immorality, and HE HAS AVENGED THE BLOOD OF HIS BOND-SERVANTS ON HER."

nasb@Revelation:18:3 @And a second time they said, " Hallelujah! HER SMOKE RISES UP FOREVER AND EVER."

nasb@Revelation:18:4 @And the twenty-four elders and the four living creatures fell down and worshiped God who sits on the throne saying, " Amen. Hallelujah!"

nasb@Revelation:18:5 @And a voice came from the throne, saying, " Give praise to our God, all you His bond-servants, you who fear Him, the small and the great."

nasb@Revelation:18:6 @Then I heard something like the voice of a great multitude and like the sound of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, saying, " Hallelujah! For the Lord our God, the Almighty, reigns.

nasb@Revelation:18:7" @Let us rejoice and be glad and give the glory to Him, for the marriage of the Lamb has come and His bride has made herself ready."

nasb@Revelation:18:9 @Then he said to me, " Write, ' Blessed are those who are invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb.'" And he said to me, " These are true words of God."

nasb@Revelation:18:10 @Then I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, "Do not do that; I am a fellow servant of yours and your brethren who hold the testimony of Jesus; worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy."

nasb@Revelation:18:12 @His eyes are a flame of fire, and on His head are many diadems; and He has a name written on Him which no one knows except Himself.

nasb@Revelation:18:13 @He is clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God.

nasb@Revelation:18:15 @From His mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations, and He will rule them with a rod of iron; and He treads the wine press of the fierce wrath of God, the Almighty.

nasb@Revelation:18:16 @And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, " KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS."

nasb@Revelation:18:17 @Then I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds which fly in midheaven, " Come, assemble for the great supper of God,

nasb@Revelation:18:18 @so that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders and the flesh of mighty men and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them and the flesh of all men, both free men and slaves, and small and great."

nasb@Revelation:18:20 @And the beast was seized, and with him the false prophet who performed the signs in his presence, by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped his image; these two were thrown alive into the lake of fire which burns with brimstone.

nasb@Revelation:18:21 @And the rest were killed with the sword which came from the mouth of Him who sat on the horse, and all the birds were filled with their flesh.

nasb@Revelation:19:3 @and he threw him into the abyss, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he would not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were completed; after these things he must be released for a short time.

nasb@Revelation:19:4 @Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years.

nasb@Revelation:19:5 @The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection.

nasb@Revelation:19:8 @and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore.

nasb@Revelation:19:9 @And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them.

nasb@Revelation:19:10 @And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever.

nasb@Revelation:19:15 @And if anyone's name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.

nasb@Revelation:20:3 @And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them,

nasb@Revelation:20:6 @Then He said to me, " It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost.

nasb@Revelation:20:7" @ He who overcomes will inherit these things, and I will be his God and he will be My son.

nasb@Revelation:20:9 @Then one of the seven angels who had the seven bowls full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, " Come here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb."

nasb@Revelation:20:10 @And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God,

nasb@Revelation:20:12 @It had a great and high wall, with twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels; and names were written on them, which are the names of the twelve tribes of the sons of Israel.

nasb@Revelation:20:14 @And the wall of the city had twelve foundation stones, and on them were the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.

nasb@Revelation:20:15 @The one who spoke with me had a gold measuring rod to measure the city, and its gates and its wall.

nasb@Revelation:20:16 @The city is laid out as a square, and its length is as great as the width; and he measured the city with the rod, fifteen hundred miles; its length and width and height are equal.

nasb@Revelation:20:17 @And he measured its wall, seventy-two yards, according to human measurements, which are also angelic measurements.

nasb@Revelation:20:19 @The foundation stones of the city wall were adorned with every kind of precious stone. The first foundation stone was jasper; the second, sapphire; the third, chalcedony; the fourth, emerald;

nasb@Revelation:20:20 @the fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the ninth, topaz; the tenth, chrysoprase; the eleventh, jacinth; the twelfth, amethyst.

nasb@Revelation:20:25 @In the daytime (for there will be no night there) its gates will never be closed;

nasb@Revelation:20:27 @and nothing unclean, and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life.

nasb@Revelation:21:1 @Then he showed me a river of the water of life, clear as crystal, coming from the throne of God and of the Lamb,

nasb@Revelation:21:4 @they will see His face, and His name will be on their foreheads.

nasb@Revelation:21:6 @And he said to me, " These words are faithful and true"; and the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show to His bond-servants the things which must soon take place.

nasb@Revelation:21:8 @I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things.

nasb@Revelation:21:9 @But he said to me, "Do not do that. I am a fellow servant of yours and of your brethren the prophets and of those who heed the words of this book. Worship God."

nasb@Revelation:21:10 @And he said to me, " Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is near.
