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:7:3 @Then the LORD said to Isaiah, "Go out now to meet Ahaz, you and your son Shear-jashub, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool, on the highway to the fuller's field,

nasb@Isaiah:7:7 @thus says the Lord GOD- " It shall not stand nor shall it come to pass.

nasb@Isaiah:7:13 @Then he said, "Listen now, O house of David! Is it too slight a thing for you to try the patience of men, that you will try the patience of my God as well?

nasb@Isaiah:7:14" @Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign- Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.

nasb@Isaiah:7:15" @He will eat curds and honey at the time He knows enough to refuse evil and choose good.

nasb@Isaiah:7:17" @The LORD will bring on you, on your people, and on your father's house such days as have never come since the day that Ephraim separated from Judah, the king of Assyria."

nasb@Isaiah:7:19 @They will all come and settle on the steep ravines, on the ledges of the cliffs, on all the thorn bushes and on all the watering places.

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:7:3 @So I approached the prophetess, and she conceived and gave birth to a son. Then the LORD said to me, "Name him Maher-shalal-hash-baz;

nasb@Isaiah:7:5 @Again the LORD spoke to me further, saying,

nasb@Isaiah:7:11 @For thus the LORD spoke to me with mighty power and instructed me not to walk in the way of this people, saying,

nasb@Isaiah:7:14" @Then He shall become a sanctuary; But to both the houses of Israel, a stone to strike and a rock to stumble over, And a snare and a trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

nasb@Isaiah:7:18 @Behold, I and the children whom the LORD has given me are for signs and wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.

nasb@Isaiah:7:19 @When they say to you, " Consult the mediums and the spiritists who whisper and mutter," should not a people consult their God? Should they consult the dead on behalf of the living?

nasb@Isaiah:8:1 @But there will be no more gloom for her who was in anguish; in earlier times He treated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali with contempt, but later on He shall make it glorious, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles.

nasb@Isaiah:8:3 @You shall multiply the nation, You shall increase their gladness; They will be glad in Your presence As with the gladness of harvest, As men rejoice when they divide the spoil.

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:8:8 @The Lord sends a message against Jacob, And it falls on Israel.

nasb@Isaiah:8:12 @The Arameans on the east and the Philistines on the west; And they devour Israel with gaping jaws. In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away And His hand is still stretched out.

nasb@Isaiah:8:17 @Therefore the Lord does not take pleasure in their young men, Nor does He have pity on their orphans or their widows; For every one of them is godless and an evildoer, And every mouth is speaking foolishness. In spite of all this, His anger does not turn away And His hand is still stretched out.

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:9:3 @Now what will you do in the day of punishment, And in the devastation which will come from afar? To whom will you flee for help? And where will you leave your wealth?

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:9:17 @And the light of Israel will become a fire and his Holy One a flame, And it will burn and devour his thorns and his briars in a single day.

nasb@Isaiah:9:28 @He has come against Aiath, He has passed through Migron; At Michmash he deposited his baggage.

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:10:15 @And the LORD will utterly destroy The tongue of the Sea of Egypt; And He will wave His hand over the River With His scorching wind; And He will strike it into seven streams And make men walk over dry-shod.

nasb@Isaiah:10:16 @And there will be a highway from Assyria For the remnant of His people who will be left, Just as there was for Israel In the day that they came up out of the land of Egypt.

nasb@Isaiah:10:12 @Then you will say on that day, " I will give thanks to You, O LORD; For although You were angry with me, Your anger is turned away, And You comfort me.

nasb@Isaiah:10:2" @Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; For the LORD GOD is my strength and song, And He has become my salvation."

nasb@Isaiah:10:4 @And in that day you will say, " Give thanks to the LORD, call on His name. Make known His deeds among the peoples; Make them remember that His name is exalted."

nasb@Isaiah:11:5 @They are coming from a far country, From the farthest horizons, The LORD and His instruments of indignation, To destroy the whole land.

nasb@Isaiah:11:6 @Wail, for the day of the LORD is near! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.

nasb@Isaiah:11:7 @Therefore all hands will fall limp, And every man's heart will melt.

nasb@Isaiah:11:8 @They will be terrified, Pains and anguish will take hold of them; They will writhe like a woman in labor, They will look at one another in astonishment, Their faces aflame.

nasb@Isaiah:11:17 @Behold, I am going to stir up the Medes against them, Who will not value silver or take pleasure in gold.

nasb@Isaiah:11:18 @And their bows will mow down the young men, They will not even have compassion on the fruit of the womb, Nor will their eye pity children.

nasb@Isaiah:11:22 @Hyenas will howl in their fortified towers And jackals in their luxurious palaces. Her fateful time also will soon come And her days will not be prolonged.

nasb@Isaiah:12:8" @Even the cypress trees rejoice over you, and the cedars of Lebanon, saying, 'Since you were laid low, no tree cutter comes up against us.'

nasb@Isaiah:12:9" @ Sheol from beneath is excited over you to meet you when you come; It arouses for you the spirits of the dead, all the leaders of the earth; It raises all the kings of the nations from their thrones.

nasb@Isaiah:12:10" @ They will all respond and say to you, 'Even you have been made weak as we, You have become like us.

nasb@Isaiah:12:17 @Who made the world like a wilderness And overthrew its cities, Who did not allow his prisoners to go home?'

nasb@Isaiah:12:20" @You will not be united with them in burial, Because you have ruined your country, You have slain your people. May the offspring of evildoers not be mentioned forever.

nasb@Isaiah:12:22" @I will rise up against them," declares the LORD of hosts, "and will cut off from Babylon name and survivors, offspring and posterity," declares the LORD.

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:12:32" @How then will one answer the messengers of the nationNULL That the LORD has founded Zion, And the afflicted of His people will seek refuge in it."

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:14:10 @For you have forgotten the God of your salvation And have not remembered the rock of your refuge. Therefore you plant delightful plants And set them with vine slips of a strange god.

nasb@Isaiah:14:14 @At evening time, behold, there is terror! Before morning they are no more. Such will be the portion of those who plunder us And the lot of those who pillage us.

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:15:7 @At that time a gift of homage will be brought to the LORD of hosts From a people tall and smooth, Even from a people feared far and wide, A powerful and oppressive nation, Whose land the rivers divide-- To the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, even Mount Zion.

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:17:6 @For thus the Lord says to me, "Go, station the lookout, let him report what he sees.

nasb@Isaiah:17:7" @When he sees riders, horsemen in pairs, A train of donkeys, a train of camels, Let him pay close attention, very close attention."

nasb@Isaiah:17:9" @Now behold, here comes a troop of riders, horsemen in pairs." And one said, " Fallen, fallen is Babylon; And all the images of her gods are shattered on the ground."

nasb@Isaiah:17:11 @The oracle concerning Edom. One keeps calling to me from Seir, "Watchman, how far gone is the night? Watchman, how far gone is the night?"

nasb@Isaiah:17:12 @The watchman says, "Morning comes but also night. If you would inquire, inquire; Come back again."

nasb@Isaiah:17:14 @Bring water for the thirsty, O inhabitants of the land of Tema, Meet the fugitive with bread.

nasb@Isaiah:17:16 @For thus the Lord said to me, "In a year, as a hired man would count it, all the splendor of Kedar will terminate;

nasb@Isaiah:17:17 @and the remainder of the number of bowmen, the mighty men of the sons of Kedar, will be few; for the LORD God of Israel has spoken."

nasb@Isaiah:18:4 @Therefore I say, "Turn your eyes away from me, Let me weep bitterly, Do not try to comfort me concerning the destruction of the daughter of my people."

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:18:13 @Instead, there is gaiety and gladness, Killing of cattle and slaughtering of sheep, Eating of meat and drinking of wine- " Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we may die."

nasb@Isaiah:18:14 @But the LORD of hosts revealed Himself to me, "Surely this iniquity shall not be forgiven you Until you die," says the Lord GOD of hosts.

nasb@Isaiah:18:15 @Thus says the Lord GOD of hosts, "Come, go to this steward, To Shebna, who is in charge of the royal household,

nasb@Isaiah:18:18 @And roll you tightly like a ball, To be cast into a vast country; There you will die And there your splendid chariots will be, You shame of your master's house.'

nasb@Isaiah:18:20" @Then it will come about in that day, That I will summon My servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah,

nasb@Isaiah:18:21 @And I will clothe him with your tunic And tie your sash securely about him. I will entrust him with your authority, And he will become a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah.

nasb@Isaiah:18:23" @I will drive him like a peg in a firm place, And he will become a throne of glory to his father's house.

nasb@Isaiah:19:2 @Be silent, you inhabitants of the coastland, You merchants of Sidon; Your messengers crossed the sea

nasb@Isaiah:19:4 @Be ashamed, O Sidon; For the sea speaks, the stronghold of the sea, saying, "I have neither travailed nor given birth, I have neither brought up young men nor reared virgins."

nasb@Isaiah:19:8 @Who has planned this against Tyre, the bestower of crowns, Whose merchants were princes, whose traders were the honored of the earth?

nasb@Isaiah:19:16 @Take your harp, walk about the city, O forgotten harlot; Pluck the strings skillfully, sing many songs, That you may be remembered.

nasb@Isaiah:19:17 @It will come about at the end of seventy years that the LORD will visit Tyre. Then she will go back to her harlot's wages and will play the harlot with all the kingdoms on the face of the earth.

nasb@Isaiah:19:18 @Her gain and her harlot's wages will be set apart to the LORD; it will not be stored up or hoarded, but her gain will become sufficient food and choice attire for those who dwell in the presence of the LORD.

nasb@Jeremiah:9:8 @For each time I speak, I cry aloud; I proclaim violence and destruction, Because for me the word of the LORD has resulted In reproach and derision all day long.

nasb@Jeremiah:9:9 @But if I say, "I will not remember Him Or speak anymore in His name," Then in my heart it becomes like a burning fire Shut up in my bones; And I am weary of holding it in, And I cannot endure it.

nasb@Jeremiah:9:11 @But the LORD is with me like a dread champion; Therefore my persecutors will stumble and not prevail. They will be utterly ashamed, because they have failed, With an everlasting disgrace that will not be forgotten.

nasb@Jeremiah:9:12 @Yet, O LORD of hosts, You who test the righteous, Who see the mind and the heart; Let me see Your vengeance on them; For to You I have set forth my cause.

nasb@Jeremiah:10:4" @For if you men will indeed perform this thing, then kings will enter the gates of this house, sitting in David's place on his throne, riding in chariots and on horses, even the king himself and his servants and his people.

nasb@Jeremiah:10:5" @ But if you will not obey these words, I swear by Myself," declares the LORD, "that this house will become a desolation."'"

nasb@Jeremiah:10:6 @For thus says the LORD concerning the house of the king of Judah- "You are like Gilead to Me, Like the summit of Lebanon; Yet most assuredly I will make you like a wilderness, Like cities which are not inhabited.

nasb@Jeremiah:11:14" @Also among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a horrible thing- The committing of adultery and walking in falsehood; And they strengthen the hands of evildoers, So that no one has turned back from his wickedness.

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: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:21:7 @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@Lamentations:2:18 @Their heart cried out to the Lord, "O wall of the daughter of Zion, Let your tears run down like a river day and night; Give yourself no relief, Let your eyes have no rest.

nasb@Lamentations:2:19" @Arise, cry aloud in the night At the beginning of the night watches; Pour out your heart like water Before the presence of the Lord; Lift up your hands to Him For the life of your little ones Who are faint because of hunger At the head of every street."

nasb@Lamentations:2:20 @See, O LORD, and look! With whom have You dealt thus? Should women eat their offspring, The little ones who were born healthy? Should priest and prophet be slain In the sanctuary of the Lord?

nasb@Lamentations:2:21 @On the ground in the streets Lie young and old; My virgins and my young men Have fallen by the sword. You have slain them in the day of Your anger, You have slaughtered, not sparing.

nasb@Lamentations:2:22 @You called as in the day of an appointed feast My terrors on every side; And there was no one who escaped or survived In the day of the LORD'S anger. Those whom I bore and reared, My enemy annihilated them.

nasb@Lamentations:3:1 @I am the man who has seen affliction Because of the rod of His wrath.

nasb@Lamentations:3:2 @He has driven me and made me walk In darkness and not in light.

nasb@Lamentations:3:3 @Surely against me He has turned His hand Repeatedly all the day.

nasb@Lamentations:3:4 @He has caused my flesh and my skin to waste away, He has broken my bones.

nasb@Lamentations:3:5 @He has besieged and encompassed me with bitterness and hardship.

nasb@Lamentations:3:6 @In dark places He has made me dwell, Like those who have long been dead.

nasb@Lamentations:3:7 @He has walled me in so that I cannot go out; He has made my chain heavy.

nasb@Lamentations:3:8 @Even when I cry out and call for help, He shuts out my prayer.

nasb@Lamentations:3:9 @He has blocked my ways with hewn stone; He has made my paths crooked.

nasb@Lamentations:3:10 @He is to me like a bear lying in wait, Like a lion in secret places.

nasb@Lamentations:3:11 @He has turned aside my ways and torn me to pieces; He has made me desolate.

nasb@Lamentations:3:12 @He bent His bow And set me as a target for the arrow.

nasb@Lamentations:3:13 @He made the arrows of His quiver To enter into my inward parts.

nasb@Lamentations:3:14 @I have become a laughingstock to all my people, Their mocking song all the day.

nasb@Lamentations:3:15 @He has filled me with bitterness, He has made me drunk with wormwood.

nasb@Lamentations:3:16 @He has broken my teeth with gravel; He has made me cower in the dust.

nasb@Lamentations:3:17 @My soul has been rejected from peace; I have forgotten happiness.

nasb@Lamentations:3:18 @So I say, "My strength has perished, And so has my hope from the LORD."

nasb@Lamentations:3:19 @Remember my affliction and my wandering, the wormwood and bitterness.

nasb@Lamentations:3:20 @Surely my soul remembers And is bowed down within me.

nasb@Lamentations:3:21 @This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope.

nasb@Lamentations:3:22 @The LORD'S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail.

nasb@Lamentations:3:23 @They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness.

nasb@Lamentations:3:24" @The LORD is my portion," says my soul, "Therefore I have hope in Him."

nasb@Lamentations:3:25 @The LORD is good to those who wait for Him, To the person who seeks Him.

nasb@Lamentations:3:26 @It is good that he waits silently For the salvation of the LORD.

nasb@Lamentations:3:27 @It is good for a man that he should bear The yoke in his youth.

nasb@Lamentations:3:28 @Let him sit alone and be silent Since He has laid it on him.

nasb@Lamentations:3:29 @Let him put his mouth in the dust, Perhaps there is hope.

nasb@Lamentations:3:30 @Let him give his cheek to the smiter, Let him be filled with reproach.

nasb@Lamentations:3:31 @For the Lord will not reject forever,

nasb@Lamentations:3:32 @For if He causes grief, Then He will have compassion According to His abundant lovingkindness.

nasb@Lamentations:3:33 @For He does not afflict willingly Or grieve the sons of men.

nasb@Lamentations:3:41 @We lift up our heart and hands Toward God in heaven;

nasb@Lamentations:3:42 @We have transgressed and rebelled, You have not pardoned.

nasb@Lamentations:3:43 @You have covered Yourself with anger And pursued us; You have slain and have not spared.

nasb@Lamentations:3:44 @You have covered Yourself with a cloud So that no prayer can pass through.

nasb@Lamentations:3:45 @You have made us mere offscouring and refuse In the midst of the peoples.

nasb@Lamentations:3:47 @Panic and pitfall have befallen us, Devastation and destruction;

nasb@Lamentations:3:49 @My eyes pour down unceasingly, Without stopping,

nasb@Lamentations:3:50 @Until the LORD looks down And sees from heaven.

nasb@Lamentations:3:51 @My eyes bring pain to my soul Because of all the daughters of my city.

nasb@Lamentations:3:52 @My enemies without cause Hunted me down like a bird;

nasb@Lamentations:3:53 @They have silenced me in the pit And have placed a stone on me.

nasb@Lamentations:3:54 @Waters flowed over my head; I said, "I am cut off!"

nasb@Lamentations:3:55 @I called on Your name, O LORD, Out of the lowest pit.

nasb@Lamentations:3:56 @You have heard my voice, " Do not hide Your ear from my prayer for relief, From my cry for help."

nasb@Lamentations:3:57 @You drew near when I called on You; You said, " Do not fear!"

nasb@Lamentations:3:58 @O Lord, You have pleaded my soul's cause; You have redeemed my life.

nasb@Lamentations:3:59 @O LORD, You have seen my oppression; Judge my case.

nasb@Lamentations:3:60 @You have seen all their vengeance, All their schemes against me.

nasb@Lamentations:3:61 @You have heard their reproach, O LORD, All their schemes against me.

nasb@Lamentations:3:62 @The lips of my assailants and their whispering Are against me all day long.

nasb@Lamentations:3:63 @Look on their sitting and their rising; I am their mocking song.

nasb@Lamentations:3:64 @You will recompense them, O LORD, According to the work of their hands.

nasb@Lamentations:3:65 @You will give them hardness of heart, Your curse will be on them.

nasb@Lamentations:3:66 @You will pursue them in anger and destroy them From under the heavens of the LORD!

nasb@Lamentations:4:1 @How dark the gold has become, How the pure gold has changed! The sacred stones are poured out At the corner of every street.

nasb@Lamentations:4:2 @The precious sons of Zion, Weighed against fine gold, How they are regarded as earthen jars, The work of a potter's hands!

nasb@Lamentations:4:3 @Even jackals offer the breast, They nurse their young; But the daughter of my people has become cruel Like ostriches in the wilderness.

nasb@Lamentations:4:4 @The tongue of the infant cleaves To the roof of its mouth because of thirst; The little ones ask for bread, But no one breaks it for them.

nasb@Lamentations:4:5 @Those who ate delicacies Are desolate in the streets; Those reared in purple Embrace ash pits.

nasb@Lamentations:4:6 @For the iniquity of the daughter of my people Is greater than the sin of Sodom, Which was overthrown as in a moment, And no hands were turned toward her.

nasb@Lamentations:4:7 @Her consecrated ones were purer than snow, They were whiter than milk; They were more ruddy in body than corals, Their polishing was like lapis lazuli.

nasb@Lamentations:4:8 @Their appearance is blacker than soot, They are not recognized in the streets; Their skin is shriveled on their bones, It is withered, it has become like wood.

nasb@Lamentations:4:9 @Better are those slain with the sword Than those slain with hunger; For they pine away, being stricken For lack of the fruits of the field.

nasb@Lamentations:4:10 @The hands of compassionate women Boiled their own children; They became food for them Because of the destruction of the daughter of my people.

nasb@Lamentations:4:11 @The LORD has accomplished His wrath, He has poured out His fierce anger; And He has kindled a fire in Zion Which has consumed its foundations.

nasb@Lamentations:4:13 @Because of the sins of her prophets And the iniquities of her priests, Who have shed in her midst The blood of the righteous;

nasb@Lamentations:4:14 @They wandered, blind, in the streets; They were defiled with blood So that no one could touch their garments.

nasb@Lamentations:4:15" @Depart! Unclean!" they cried of themselves. "Depart, depart, do not touch!" So they fled and wandered; Men among the nations said, "They shall not continue to dwell with us."

nasb@Lamentations:4:16 @The presence of the LORD has scattered them, He will not continue to regard them; They did not honor the priests, They did not favor the elders.

nasb@Lamentations:4:17 @Yet our eyes failed, Looking for help was useless; In our watching we have watched For a nation that could not save.

nasb@Lamentations:4:18 @They hunted our steps So that we could not walk in our streets; Our end drew near, Our days were finished For our end had come.

nasb@Lamentations:4:19 @Our pursuers were swifter Than the eagles of the sky; They chased us on the mountains, They waited in ambush for us in the wilderness.

nasb@Lamentations:4:20 @The breath of our nostrils, the LORD'S anointed, Was captured in their pits, Of whom we had said, "Under his shadow We shall live among the nations."

nasb@Lamentations:5:1 @Remember, O LORD, what has befallen us; Look, and see our reproach!

nasb@Lamentations:5:2 @Our inheritance has been turned over to strangers, Our houses to aliens.

nasb@Lamentations:5:3 @We have become orphans without a father, Our mothers are like widows.

nasb@Lamentations:5:4 @We have to pay for our drinking water, Our wood comes to us at a price.

nasb@Lamentations:5:5 @Our pursuers are at our necks; We are worn out, there is no rest for us.

nasb@Lamentations:5:6 @We have submitted to Egypt and Assyria to get enough bread.

nasb@Lamentations:5:7 @Our fathers sinned, and are no more; It is we who have borne their iniquities.

nasb@Lamentations:5:8 @Slaves rule over us; There is no one to deliver us from their hand.

nasb@Lamentations:5:9 @We get our bread at the risk of our lives Because of the sword in the wilderness.

nasb@Lamentations:5:10 @Our skin has become as hot as an oven, Because of the burning heat of famine.

nasb@Lamentations:5:11 @They ravished the women in Zion, The virgins in the cities of Judah.

nasb@Lamentations:5:12 @Princes were hung by their hands; Elders were not respected.

nasb@Lamentations:5:13 @Young men worked at the grinding mill, And youths stumbled under loads of wood.

nasb@Lamentations:5:14 @Elders are gone from the gate, Young men from their music.

nasb@Lamentations:5:15 @The joy of our hearts has ceased; Our dancing has been turned into mourning.

nasb@Lamentations:5:16 @The crown has fallen from our head; Woe to us, for we have sinned!

nasb@Lamentations:5:17 @Because of this our heart is faint, Because of these things our eyes are dim;

nasb@Lamentations:5:18 @Because of Mount Zion which lies desolate, Foxes prowl in it.

nasb@Lamentations:5:19 @You, O LORD, rule forever; Your throne is from generation to generation.

nasb@Lamentations:5:20 @Why do You forget us forever? Why do You forsake us so long?

nasb@Lamentations:5:21 @Restore us to You, O LORD, that we may be restored; Renew our days as of old,

nasb@Lamentations:5:22 @Unless You have utterly rejected us And are exceedingly angry with us.

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:3:15 @'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:3:20 @'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: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:7:3 @who say, 'The time is not near to build houses. This city is the pot and we are the flesh.'

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:7:25 @Then I told the exiles all the things that the LORD had shown me.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:8 @In the morning the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:7:17 @Moreover, the word of the LORD came to me saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:7:21 @Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:7:25" @For I the LORD will speak, and whatever word I speak will be performed. It will no longer be delayed, for in your days, O rebellious house, I will speak the word and perform it," declares the Lord GOD.'"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:26 @Furthermore, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:7:27" @Son of man, behold, the house of Israel is saying, 'The vision that he sees is for many years from now, and he prophesies of times far off.'

nasb@Ezekiel:7:28" @Therefore say to them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "None of My words will be delayed any longer. Whatever word I speak will be performed,"'" declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:13 @Then the word of the LORD came to me saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:7:11 @so tell those who plaster it over with whitewash, that it will fall. A flooding rain will come, and you, O hailstones, will fall; and a violent wind will break out.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:13 @Therefore, thus says the Lord GOD, "I will make a violent wind break out in My wrath. There will also be in My anger a flooding rain and hailstones to consume it in wrath.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:14" @So I will tear down the wall which you plastered over with whitewash and bring it down to the ground, so that its foundation is laid bare; and when it falls, you will be consumed in its midst. And you will know that I am the LORD.

nasb@Ezekiel:7:18 @and say, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Woe to the women who sew magic bands on all wrists and make veils for the heads of persons of every stature to hunt down lives! Will you hunt down the lives of My people, but preserve the lives of others for yourselves?

nasb@Ezekiel:7:19" @ For handfuls of barley and fragments of bread, you have profaned Me to My people to put to death some who should not die and to keep others alive who should not live, by your lying to My people who listen to lies."'"

nasb@Ezekiel:7:23 @therefore, you women will no longer see false visions or practice divination, and I will deliver My people out of your hand. Thus you will know that I am the LORD."

nasb@Ezekiel:8:1 @Then some elders of Israel came to me and sat down before me.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:2 @And the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:3" @Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts and have put right before their faces the stumbling block of their iniquity. Should I be consulted by them at all?

nasb@Ezekiel:8:4" @Therefore speak to them and tell them, 'Thus says the Lord GOD, "Any man of the house of Israel who sets up his idols in his heart, puts right before his face the stumbling block of his iniquity, and then comes to the prophet, I the LORD will be brought to give him an answer in the matter in view of the multitude of his idols,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:5 @in order to lay hold of the hearts of the house of Israel who are estranged from Me through all their idols."'

nasb@Ezekiel:8:7" @For anyone of the house of Israel or of the immigrants who stay in Israel who separates himself from Me, sets up his idols in his heart, puts right before his face the stumbling block of his iniquity, and then comes to the prophet to inquire of Me for himself, I the LORD will be brought to answer him in My own person.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:10" @They will bear the punishment of their iniquity; as the iniquity of the inquirer is, so the iniquity of the prophet will be,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:11 @in order that the house of Israel may no longer stray from Me and no longer defile themselves with all their transgressions. Thus they will be My people, and I shall be their God,"' declares the Lord GOD."

nasb@Ezekiel:8:12 @Then the word of the LORD came to me saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:13" @Son of man, if a country sins against Me by committing unfaithfulness, and I stretch out My hand against it, destroy its supply of bread, send famine against it and cut off from it both man and beast,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:14 @even though these three men, Noah, Daniel and Job were in its midst, by their own righteousness they could only deliver themselves," declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:15" @If I were to cause wild beasts to pass through the land and they depopulated it, and it became desolate so that no one would pass through it because of the beasts,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:16 @though these three men were in its midst, as I live," declares the Lord GOD, "they could not deliver either their sons or their daughters. They alone would be delivered, but the country would be desolate.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:18 @even though these three men were in its midst, as I live," declares the Lord GOD, "they could not deliver either their sons or their daughters, but they alone would be delivered.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:21 @For thus says the Lord GOD, "How much more when I send My four severe judgments against Jerusalem- sword, famine, wild beasts and plague to cut off man and beast from it!

nasb@Ezekiel:8:22" @Yet, behold, survivors will be left in it who will be brought out, both sons and daughters. Behold, they are going to come forth to you and you will see their conduct and actions; then you will be comforted for the calamity which I have brought against Jerusalem for everything which I have brought upon it.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:15 @Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:3" @Can wood be taken from it to make anything, or can men take a peg from it on which to hang any vessel?

nasb@Ezekiel:8:4" @If it has been put into the fire for fuel, and the fire has consumed both of its ends and its middle part has been charred, is it then useful for anything?

nasb@Ezekiel:8:5" @Behold, while it is intact, it is not made into anything. How much less, when the fire has consumed it and it is charred, can it still be made into anything!

nasb@Ezekiel:8:7 @and I set My face against them. Though they have come out of the fire, yet the fire will consume them. Then you will know that I am the LORD, when I set My face against them.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:16 @Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

nasb@Ezekiel:8:7" @I made you numerous like plants of the field. Then you grew up, became tall and reached the age for fine ornaments; your breasts were formed and your hair had grown. Yet you were naked and bare.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:8" @Then I passed by you and saw you, and behold, you were at the time for love; so I spread My skirt over you and covered your nakedness. I also swore to you and entered into a covenant with you so that you became Mine," declares the Lord GOD.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:11" @I adorned you with ornaments, put bracelets on your hands and a necklace around your neck.

nasb@Ezekiel:8:14" @Then your fame went forth among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was perfect because of My splendor which I bestowed on you," declares the Lord GOD.

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: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.

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.

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.

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@Daniel:1:1 @In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and besieged it.

nasb@Daniel:1:2 @The Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, along with some of the vessels of the house of God; and he brought them to the land of Shinar, to the house of his god, and he brought the vessels into the treasury of his god.

nasb@Daniel:1:3 @Then the king ordered Ashpenaz, the chief of his officials, to bring in some of the sons of Israel, including some of the royal family and of the nobles,

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:1:12" @Please test your servants for ten days, and let us be given some vegetables to eat and water to drink.

nasb@Daniel:1:15 @At the end of ten days their appearance seemed better and they were fatter than all the youths who had been eating the king's choice food.

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:2:8 @The king replied, "I know for certain that you are bargaining for time, inasmuch as you have seen that the command from me is firm,

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:2:14 @Then Daniel replied with discretion and discernment to Arioch, the captain of the king's bodyguard, who had gone forth to slay the wise men of Babylon;

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:2:20 @Daniel said, "Let the name of God be blessed forever and ever, For wisdom and power belong to Him.

nasb@Daniel:2:21" @It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men And knowledge to men of understanding.

nasb@Daniel:2:23" @To You, O God of my fathers, I give thanks and praise, For You have given me wisdom and power; Even now You have made known to me what we requested of You, For You have made known to us the king's matter."

nasb@Daniel:2:24 @Therefore, Daniel went in to Arioch, whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon; he went and spoke to him as follows- " Do not destroy the wise men of Babylon! Take me into the king's presence, and I will declare the interpretation to the king."

nasb@Daniel:2:26 @The king said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, "Are you able to make known to me the dream which I have seen and its interpretation?"

nasb@Daniel:2:27 @Daniel answered before the king and said, "As for the mystery about which the king has inquired, neither wise men, conjurers, magicians nor diviners are able to declare it to the king.

nasb@Daniel:2:30" @But as for me, this mystery has not been revealed to me for any wisdom residing in me more than in any other living man, but for the purpose of making the interpretation known to the king, and that you may understand the thoughts of your mind.

nasb@Daniel:2:31" @You, O king, were looking and behold, there was a single great statue; that statue, which was large and of extraordinary splendor, was standing in front of you, and its appearance was awesome.

nasb@Daniel:2:35" @Then the iron, the clay, the bronze, the silver and the gold were crushed all at the same time and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors; and the wind carried them away so that not a trace of them was found. But the stone that struck the statue became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

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:2:42" @As the toes of the feet were partly of iron and partly of pottery, so some of the kingdom will be strong and part of it will be brittle.

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@Daniel:9:9 @He said, "Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time.

nasb@Daniel:9:11" @From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.

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.
