bbe@Genesis:1:8 @And God gave the arch the name of Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day.

bbe@Genesis:1:9 @And God said, Let the waters under the heaven come together in one place, and let the dry land be seen: and it was so.

bbe@Genesis:1:10 @And God gave the dry land the name of Earth; and the waters together in their place were named Seas: and God saw that it was good.

bbe@Genesis:1:11 @And God said, Let grass come up on the earth, and plants producing seed, and fruit-trees giving fruit, in which is their seed, after their sort: and it was so.

bbe@Genesis:1:12 @And grass came up on the earth, and every plant producing seed of its sort, and every tree producing fruit, in which is its seed, of its sort: and God saw that it was good.

bbe@Genesis:2:2 @And on the seventh day God came to the end of all his work; and on the seventh day he took his rest from all the work which he had done.

bbe@Genesis:2:5 @In the day when the Lord God made earth and heaven there were no plants of the field on the earth, and no grass had come up: for the Lord God had not sent rain on the earth and there was no man to do work on the land.

bbe@Genesis:2:7 @And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth, breathing into him the breath of life: and man became a living soul.

bbe@Genesis:2:9 @And out of the earth the Lord made every tree to come, delighting the eye and good for food; and in the middle of the garden, the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

bbe@Genesis:2:10 @And a river went out of Eden giving water to the garden; and from there it was parted and became four streams.

bbe@Genesis:2:11 @The name of the first is Pishon, which goes round about all the land of Havilah where there is gold.

bbe@Genesis:2:13 @And the name of the second river is Gihon: this river goes round all the land of Cush.

bbe@Genesis:2:14 @And the name of the third river is Tigris, which goes to the east of Assyria. And the fourth river is Euphrates.

bbe@Genesis:2:17 @But of the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you may not take; for on the day when you take of it, death will certainly come to you.

bbe@Genesis:2:19 @And from the earth the Lord God made every beast of the field and every bird of the air, and took them to the man to see what names he would give them: and whatever name he gave to any living thing, that was its name.

bbe@Genesis:2:20 @And the man gave names to all cattle and to the birds of the air and to every beast of the field; but Adam had no one like himself as a help.

bbe@Genesis:2:23 @And the man said, This is now bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh: let her name be Woman because she was taken out of Man.

bbe@Genesis:2:25 @And the man and his wife were without clothing, and they had no sense of shame.

bbe@Genesis:3:3 @But of the fruit of the tree in the middle of the garden, God has said, If you take of it or put your hands on it, death will come to you.

bbe@Genesis:3:4 @And the snake said, Death will not certainly come to you:

bbe@Genesis:3:8 @And there came to them the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the evening wind: and the man and his wife went to a secret place among the trees of the garden, away from the eyes of the Lord God.

bbe@Genesis:3:9 @And the voice of the Lord God came to the man, saying, Where are you?

bbe@Genesis:3:12 @And the man said, The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me the fruit of the tree and I took it.

bbe@Genesis:3:16 @To the woman he said, Great will be your pain in childbirth; in sorrow will your children come to birth; still your desire will be for your husband, but he will be your master.

bbe@Genesis:3:18 @Thorns and waste plants will come up, and the plants of the field will be your food;

bbe@Genesis:3:20 @And the man gave his wife the name of Eve because she was the mother of all who have life.

bbe@Genesis:3:22 @And the Lord God said, Now the man has become like one of us, having knowledge of good and evil; and now if he puts out his hand and takes of the fruit of the tree of life, he will go on living for ever.

bbe@Genesis:4:1 @And the man had connection with Eve his wife, and she became with child and gave birth to Cain, and said, I have got a man from the Lord.

bbe@Genesis:4:2 @Then again she became with child and gave birth to Abel, his brother. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a farmer.

bbe@Genesis:4:3 @And after a time, Cain gave to the Lord an offering of the fruits of the earth.

bbe@Genesis:4:5 @But in Cain and his offering he had no pleasure. And Cain was angry and his face became sad.

bbe@Genesis:4:10 @And he said, What have you done? the voice of your brother's blood is crying to me from the earth

bbe@Genesis:4:13 @And Cain said, My punishment is greater than my strength.

bbe@Genesis:4:14 @You have sent me out this day from the face of the earth and from before your face; I will be a wanderer in flight over the earth, and whoever sees me will put me to death.

bbe@Genesis:4:17 @And Cain had connection with his wife and she became with child and gave birth to Enoch: and he made a town, and gave the town the name of Enoch after his son.

bbe@Genesis:4:18 @And Enoch had a son Irad: and Irad became the father of Mehujael: and Mehujael became the father of Methushael: and Methushael became the father of Lamech.

bbe@Genesis:4:19 @And Lamech had two wives; the name of the one was Adah, and the name of the other Zillah.

bbe@Genesis:4:21 @And his brother's name was Jubal: he was the father of all players on instruments of music.

bbe@Genesis:4:22 @And Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, who is the father of every maker of cutting instruments of brass and iron: and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.

bbe@Genesis:4:23 @And Lamech said to his wives, Adah and Zillah, give ear to my voice; you wives of Lamech, give attention to my words, for I would put a man to death for a wound, and a young man for a blow;

bbe@Genesis:4:24 @If seven lives are to be taken as punishment for Cain's death, seventy-seven will be taken for Lamech's.

bbe@Genesis:4:25 @And Adam had connection with his wife again, and she gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name of Seth: for she said, God has given me another seed in place of Abel, whom Cain put to death.

bbe@Genesis:4:26 @And Seth had a son, and he gave him the name of Enosh: at this time men first made use of the name of the Lord in worship.

bbe@Genesis:5:3 @Adam had been living for a hundred and thirty years when he had a son like himself, after his image, and gave him the name of Seth:

bbe@Genesis:5:5 @And all the years of Adam's life were nine hundred and thirty: and he came to his end.

bbe@Genesis:5:6 @And Seth was a hundred and five years old when he became the father of Enosh:

bbe@Genesis:5:8 @And all the years of Seth's life were nine hundred and twelve: and he came to his end.

bbe@Genesis:5:9 @And Enosh was ninety years old when he became the father of Kenan:

bbe@Genesis:5:11 @And all the years of Enosh were nine hundred and five: and he came to his end.

bbe@Genesis:5:12 @And Kenan was seventy years old when he became the father of Mahalalel:

bbe@Genesis:5:14 @And all the years of Kenan's life were nine hundred and ten; and he came to his end.

bbe@Genesis:5:15 @And Mahalalel was sixty-five years old when he became the father of Jared:

bbe@Genesis:5:17 @And all the years of Mahalalel's life were eight hundred and ninety-five: and he came to his end.

bbe@Genesis:5:18 @And Jared was a hundred and sixty-two years old when he became the father of Enoch:

bbe@Genesis:5:20 @And all the years of Jared's life were nine hundred and sixty-two: and he came to his end.

bbe@Genesis:5:21 @And Enoch was sixty-five years old when he became the father of Methuselah:

bbe@Genesis:5:22 @And after the birth of Methuselah, Enoch went on in God's ways for three hundred years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:5:25 @And Methuselah was a hundred and eighty-seven years old when he became the father of Lamech:

bbe@Genesis:5:26 @And after the birth of Lamech, Methuselah went on living for seven hundred and eighty-two years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:5:27 @And all the years of Methuselah's life were nine hundred and sixty-nine: and he came to his end.

bbe@Genesis:5:28 @And Lamech was a hundred and eighty-two years old when he had a son:

bbe@Genesis:5:29 @And he gave him the name of Noah, saying, Truly, he will give us rest from our trouble and the hard work of our hands, because of the earth which was cursed by God.

bbe@Genesis:5:30 @And after the birth of Noah, Lamech went on living for five hundred and ninety-five years, and had sons and daughters:

bbe@Genesis:5:31 @And all the years of Lamech's life were seven hundred and seventy-seven: and he came to his end.

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

bbe@Genesis:6:1 @And after a time, when men were increasing on the earth, and had daughters,

bbe@Genesis:6:2 @The sons of God saw that the daughters of men were fair; and they took wives for themselves from those who were pleasing to them.

bbe@Genesis:6:4 @There were men of great strength and size on the earth in those days; and after that, when the sons of God had connection with the daughters of men, they gave birth to children: these were the great men of old days, the men of great name.

bbe@Genesis:6:12 @And God, looking on the earth, saw that it was evil: for the way of all flesh had become evil on the earth.

bbe@Genesis:6:13 @And God said to Noah, The end of all flesh has come; the earth is full of their violent doings, and now I will put an end to them with the earth.

bbe@Genesis:6:17 @For truly, I will send a great flow of waters over the earth, for the destruction from under the heaven of all flesh in which is the breath of life; everything on the earth will come to an end.

bbe@Genesis:6:18 @But with you I will make an agreement; and you will come into the ark, you and your sons and your wife and your sons' wives with you.

bbe@Genesis:7:6 @And Noah was six hundred years old when the waters came flowing over all the earth.

bbe@Genesis:7:10 @And after the seven days, the waters came over all the earth.

bbe@Genesis:7:11 @In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeenth day of the month, all the fountains of the great deep came bursting through, and the windows of heaven were open;

bbe@Genesis:7:12 @And rain came down on the earth for forty days and forty nights.

bbe@Genesis:7:13 @On the same day Noah, with Shem, Ham, and Japheth, his sons, and his wife and his sons' wives, went into the ark;

bbe@Genesis:7:18 @And the waters overcame everything and were increased greatly on the earth, and the ark was resting on the face of the waters.

bbe@Genesis:7:19 @And the waters overcame everything on the earth; and all the mountains under heaven were covered.

bbe@Genesis:7:21 @And destruction came on every living thing moving on the earth, birds and cattle and beasts and everything which went on the earth, and every man.

bbe@Genesis:7:22 @Everything on the dry land, in which was the breath of life, came to its end.

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

bbe@Genesis:8:4 @And on the seventeenth day of the seventh month the ark came to rest on the mountains of Ararat.

bbe@Genesis:8:9 @But the dove saw no resting-place for her foot, and came back to the ark, for the waters were still over all the earth; and he put out his hand, and took her into the ark.

bbe@Genesis:8:11 @And the dove came back at evening, and in her mouth was an olive-leaf broken off: so Noah was certain that the waters had gone down on the earth.

bbe@Genesis:8:12 @And after seven days more, he sent the dove out again, but she did not come back to him.

bbe@Genesis:8:21 @And when the sweet smell came up to the Lord, he said in his heart, I will not again put a curse on the earth because of man, for the thoughts of man's heart are evil from his earliest days; never again will I send destruction on all living things as I have done.

bbe@Genesis:8:22 @While the earth goes on, seed time and the getting in of the grain, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night, will not come to an end.

bbe@Genesis:9:5 @And for your blood, which is your life, will I take payment; from every beast I will take it, and from every man will I take payment for the blood of his brother-man.

bbe@Genesis:9:7 @And now, be fertile and have increase; have offspring on the earth and become great in number.

bbe@Genesis:9:9 @Truly, I will make my agreement with you and with your seed after you,

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

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

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

bbe@Genesis:9:13 @I will put my bow in the cloud and it will be for a sign of the agreement between me and the earth.

bbe@Genesis:9:14 @And whenever I make a cloud come over the earth, the bow will be seen in the cloud,

bbe@Genesis:9:15 @And I will keep in mind the agreement between me and you and every living thing; and never again will there be a great flow of waters causing destruction to all flesh.

bbe@Genesis:9:16 @And the bow will be in the cloud, and looking on it, I will keep in mind the eternal agreement between God and every living thing on the earth.

bbe@Genesis:9:17 @And God said to Noah, This is the sign of the agreement which I have made between me and all flesh on the earth.

bbe@Genesis:9:20 @In those days Noah became a farmer, and he made a vine-garden

bbe@Genesis:9:21 @And he took of the wine of it and was overcome by drink; and he was uncovered in his tent.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:10:3 @And the sons of Gomer: Ashkenaz and Riphath and Togarmah.

bbe@Genesis:10:5 @From these came the nations of the sea-lands, with their different families and languages.

bbe@Genesis:10:8 @And Cush was the father of Nimrod, who was the first of the great men of the earth.

bbe@Genesis:10:14 @And Pathrusim and Casluhim and Caphtorim, from whom came the Philistines.

bbe@Genesis:10:24 @And Arpachshad became the father of Shelah; and Shelah became the father of Eber.

bbe@Genesis:10:25 @And Eber had two sons: the name of the one was Peleg, because in his time the peoples of the earth became separate; and his brother's name was Joktan.

bbe@Genesis:10:30 @And their country was from Mesha, in the direction of Sephar, the mountain of the east.

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

bbe@Genesis:11:2 @And it came about that in their wandering from the east, they came to a stretch of flat country in the land of Shinar, and there they made their living-place.

bbe@Genesis:11:3 @And they said one to another, Come, let us make bricks, burning them well. And they had bricks for stone, putting them together with sticky earth.

bbe@Genesis:11:4 @And they said, Come, let us make a town, and a tower whose top will go up as high as heaven; and let us make a great name for ourselves, so that we may not be wanderers over the face of the earth.

bbe@Genesis:11:5 @And the Lord came down to see the town and the tower which the children of men were building.

bbe@Genesis:11:7 @Come, let us go down and take away the sense of their language, so that they will not be able to make themselves clear to one another.

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

bbe@Genesis:11:10 @These are the generations of Shem. Shem was a hundred years old when he became the father of Arpachshad, two years after the great flow of waters;

bbe@Genesis:11:12 @And Arpachshad was thirty-five years old when he became the father of Shelah:

bbe@Genesis:11:14 @And Shelah was thirty years old when he became the father of Eber:

bbe@Genesis:11:16 @And Eber was thirty-four years old when he became the father of Peleg:

bbe@Genesis:11:18 @And Peleg was thirty years old when he became the father of Reu:

bbe@Genesis:11:20 @And Reu was thirty-two years old when he became the father of Serug:

bbe@Genesis:11:22 @And Serug was thirty years old when he became the father of Nahor:

bbe@Genesis:11:24 @And Nahor was twenty-nine years old when he became the father of Terah:

bbe@Genesis:11:26 @And Terah was seventy years old when he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

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

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

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

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

bbe@Genesis:12:2 @And I will make of you a great nation, blessing you and making your name great; and you will be a blessing:

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

bbe@Genesis:12:6 @And Abram went through the land till he came to Shechem, to the holy tree of Moreh. At that time, the Canaanites were still living in the land.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:12:11 @Now when he came near to Egypt, he said to Sarai, his wife, Truly, you are a fair woman and beautiful to the eye;

bbe@Genesis:12:12 @And I am certain that when the men of Egypt see you, they will say, This is his wife: and they will put me to death and keep you.

bbe@Genesis:12:13 @Say, then, that you are my sister, and so it will be well with me because of you, and my life will be kept safe on your account

bbe@Genesis:12:14 @And so it was that when Abram came into Egypt, the men of Egypt, looking on the woman, saw that she was fair.

bbe@Genesis:12:15 @And Pharaoh's great men, having seen her, said words in praise of her to Pharaoh, and she was taken into Pharaoh's house.

bbe@Genesis:12:16 @And because of her, he was good to Abram, and he had sheep and oxen and asses, and men-servants and women-servants, and camels.

bbe@Genesis:12:18 @Then Pharaoh sent for Abram, and said, What have you done to me? why did you not say that she was your wife?

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

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

bbe@Genesis:13:3 @And travelling on from the South, he came to Beth-el, to the place where his tent had been before, between Beth-el and Ai;

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

bbe@Genesis:13:7 @And there was an argument between the keepers of Abram's cattle and the keepers of Lot's cattle: at that time the Canaanites and Perizzites were still living in the land.

bbe@Genesis:13:8 @Then Abram said to Lot, Let there be no argument between me and you, and between my herdmen and your herdmen, for we are brothers.

bbe@Genesis:13:13 @Now the men of Sodom were evil, and great sinners before the Lord.

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Genesis:14:4 @For twelve years they were under the rule of Chedorlaomer, but in the thirteenth year they put off his control.

bbe@Genesis:14:5 @And in the fourteenth year, Chedorlaomer and the kings who were on his side, overcame the Rephaim in Ashteroth-karnaim, and the Zuzim in Ham, and the Emim in Shaveh-kiriathaim,

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

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

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

bbe@Genesis:14:13 @And one who had got away from the fight came and gave word of it to Abram the Hebrew, who was living by the holy tree of Mamre, the Amorite, the brother of Eshcol and Aner, who were friends of Abram.

bbe@Genesis:14:14 @And Abram, hearing that his brother's son had been made a prisoner, took a band of his trained men, three hundred and eighteen of them, sons of his house, and went after them as far as Dan.

bbe@Genesis:14:15 @And separating his forces by night, he overcame them, putting them to flight and going after them as far as Hobah, which is on the north side of Damascus.

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

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

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

bbe@Genesis:14:21 @And the king of Sodom said to Abram, Give me the prisoners and take the goods for yourself.

bbe@Genesis:14:24 @Give me nothing but the food which the fighting-men who went with me have had; but let Aner and Eshcol and Mamre have their part of the goods.

bbe@Genesis:15:1 @After these things, the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, saying, Have no fear, Abram: I will keep you safe, and great will be your reward.

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

bbe@Genesis:15:3 @And Abram said, You have given me no child, and a servant in my house will get the heritage.

bbe@Genesis:15:11 @And evil birds came down on the bodies, but Abram sent them away.

bbe@Genesis:15:12 @Now when the sun was going down, a deep sleep came on Abram, and a dark cloud of fear.

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

bbe@Genesis:15:16 @And in the fourth generation they will come back here; for at present the sin of the Amorite is not full.

bbe@Genesis:15:18 @In that day the Lord made an agreement with Abram, and said, To your seed have I given this land from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates:

bbe@Genesis:16:1 @Now Sarai, Abram's wife, had given him no children; and she had a servant, a woman of Egypt whose name was Hagar.

bbe@Genesis:16:2 @And Sarai said to Abram, See, the Lord has not let me have children; go in to my servant, for I may get a family through her. And Abram did as Sarai said.

bbe@Genesis:16:4 @And he went in to Hagar and she became with child, and when she saw that she was with child, she no longer had any respect for her master's wife.

bbe@Genesis:16:5 @And Sarai said to Abram, May my wrong be on you: I gave you my servant for your wife and when she saw that she was with child, she no longer had any respect for me: may the Lord be judge between you and me.

bbe@Genesis:16:7 @And an angel of the Lord came to her by a fountain of water in the waste land, by the fountain on the way to Shur.

bbe@Genesis:16:8 @And he said, Hagar, Sarai's servant, where have you come from and where are you going? And she said, I am running away from Sarai, my master's wife.

bbe@Genesis:16:11 @And the angel of the Lord said, See, you are with child and will give birth to a son, to whom you will give the name Ishmael, because the ears of the Lord were open to your sorrow.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:16:14 @So that fountain was named, Fountain of Life and Vision: it is between Kadesh and Bered.

bbe@Genesis:16:15 @And Hagar gave birth to a child, the son of Abram, to whom Abram gave the name of Ishmael.

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

bbe@Genesis:17:2 @And I will make an agreement between you and me, and your offspring will be greatly increased.

bbe@Genesis:17:4 @As for me, my agreement is made with you, and you will be the father of nations without end.

bbe@Genesis:17:5 @No longer will your name be Abram, but Abraham, for I have made you the father of a number of nations.

bbe@Genesis:17:6 @I will make you very fertile, so that nations will come from you and kings will be your offspring.

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

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

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

bbe@Genesis:17:11 @In the flesh of your private parts you are to undergo it, as a mark of the agreement between me and you.

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

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

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

bbe@Genesis:17:15 @And God said, As for Sarai, your wife, from now her name will be not Sarai, but Sarah.

bbe@Genesis:17:19 @And God said, Not so; but Sarah, your wife, will have a son, and you will give him the name Isaac, and I will make my agreement with him for ever and with his seed after him.

bbe@Genesis:17:21 @But my agreement will be with Isaac, to whom Sarah will give birth a year from this time.

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

bbe@Genesis:18:1 @Now the Lord came to him by the holy tree of Mamre, when he was seated in the doorway of his tent in the middle of the day;

bbe@Genesis:18:2 @And lifting up his eyes, he saw three men before him; and seeing them, he went quickly to them from the door of the tent, and went down on his face to the earth;

bbe@Genesis:18:4 @Let me get water for washing your feet, and take your rest under the tree:

bbe@Genesis:18:5 @And let me get a bit of bread to keep up your strength, and after that you may go on your way: for this is why you have come to your servant. And they said, Let it be so.

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

bbe@Genesis:18:10 @And he said, I will certainly come back to you in the spring, and Sarah your wife will have a son

bbe@Genesis:18:11 @Now Abraham and Sarah were very old, and Sarah was past the time for giving birth.

bbe@Genesis:18:13 @And the Lord said, Why was Sarah laughing and saying, Is it possible for me, being old, to give birth to a child?

bbe@Genesis:18:14 @Is there any wonder which the Lord is not able to do? At the time I said, in the spring, I will come back to you, and Sarah will have a child.

bbe@Genesis:18:16 @And the men went on from there in the direction of Sodom; and Abraham went with them on their way.

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

bbe@Genesis:18:21 @I will go down now, and see if their acts are as bad as they seem from the outcry which has come to me; and if they are not, I will see.

bbe@Genesis:18:22 @And the men, turning from that place, went on to Sodom: but Abraham was still waiting before the Lord.

bbe@Genesis:18:23 @And Abraham came near, and said, Will you let destruction come on the upright with the sinners?

bbe@Genesis:18:24 @If by chance there are fifty upright men in the town, will you give the place to destruction and not have mercy on it because of the fifty upright men?

bbe@Genesis:18:26 @And the Lord said, If there are fifty upright men in the town, I will have mercy on it because of them.

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

bbe@Genesis:18:30 @And he said, Let not the Lord be angry with me if I say, What if there are thirty there? And he said, I will not do it if there are thirty.

bbe@Genesis:18:31 @And he said, See now, I have undertaken to put my thoughts before the Lord: what if there are twenty there? And he said, I will have mercy because of the twenty.

bbe@Genesis:18:32 @And he said, O let not the Lord be angry and I will say only one word more: by chance there may be ten there. And he said, I will have mercy because of the ten.

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

bbe@Genesis:19:2 @And he said, My masters, come now into your servant's house and take your rest there for the night, and let your feet be washed; and early in the morning you may go on your way. And they said, Not so, but we will take our night's rest in the street.

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

bbe@Genesis:19:5 @And crying out to Lot, they said, Where are the men who came to your house this night? Send them out to us, so that we may take our pleasure with them.

bbe@Genesis:19:8 @See now, I have two unmarried daughters; I will send them out to you so that you may do to them whatever seems good to you: only do nothing to these men, for this is why they have come under the shade of my roof.

bbe@Genesis:19:9 @And they said, Give way there. This one man, they said, came here from a strange country, and will he now be our judge? now we will do worse to you than to them; and pushing violently against Lot, they came near to get the door broken in.

bbe@Genesis:19:10 @But the men put out their hands and took Lot into the house to them, shutting the door again

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

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

bbe@Genesis:19:13 @For we are about to send destruction on this place, because a great outcry against them has come to the ears of the Lord; and the Lord has sent us to put an end to the town.

bbe@Genesis:19:14 @And Lot went out and said to his sons-in-law, who were married to his daughters, Come, let us go out of this place, for the Lord is about to send destruction on the town. But his sons-in-law did not take him seriously.

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

bbe@Genesis:19:16 @But while he was waiting, the men took him and his wife and his daughters by the hand, for the Lord had mercy on them, and put them outside the town.

bbe@Genesis:19:17 @And when they had put them out, he said, Go for your life, without looking back or waiting in the lowland; go quickly to the mountain or you will come to destruction.

bbe@Genesis:19:19 @See now, your servant has had grace in your eyes and great is your mercy in keeping my life from destruction, but I am not able to get as far as the mountain before evil overtakes me and death;

bbe@Genesis:19:20 @This town, now, is near, and it is a little one: O, let me go there (is it not a little one?) so that my life may be safe.

bbe@Genesis:19:22 @Go there quickly, for I am not able to do anything till you have come there. For this reason, the town was named Zoar.

bbe@Genesis:19:23 @The sun was up when Lot came to Zoar.

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

bbe@Genesis:19:29 @So it came about that when God sent destruction on the towns of the lowland, he kept his word to Abraham, and sent Lot safely away when he put an end to the towns where he was living.

bbe@Genesis:19:32 @Come, let us give our father much wine, and we will go into his bed, so that we may have offspring by our father,

bbe@Genesis:19:37 @And the older daughter had a son, and she gave him the name Moab: he is the father of the Moabites to this day.

bbe@Genesis:19:38 @And the younger had a son and gave him the name Ben-ammi: from him come the children of Ammon to this day.

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

bbe@Genesis:20:3 @But God came to Abimelech in a dream in the night, and said to him, Truly you are a dead man because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a man's wife.

bbe@Genesis:20:4 @Now Abimelech had not come near her; and he said, Lord, will you put to death an upright nation?

bbe@Genesis:20:5 @Did he not say to me himself, She is my sister? and she herself said, He is my brother: with an upright heart and clean hands have I done this.

bbe@Genesis:20:6 @And God said to him in the dream, I see that you have done this with an upright heart, and I have kept you from sinning against me: for this reason I did not let you come near her.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:20:9 @Then Abimelech sent for Abraham, and said, What have you done to us? what wrong have I done you that you have put on me and on my kingdom so great a sin? You have done to me things which are not to be done.

bbe@Genesis:20:10 @And Abimelech said to Abraham, Why did you do this thing?

bbe@Genesis:20:11 @And Abraham said, Because it seemed to me that there was no fear of God in this place, and that they might put me to death because of my wife.

bbe@Genesis:20:12 @And, in fact, she is my sister, the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife:

bbe@Genesis:20:13 @And when God sent me wandering from my father's house, I said to her, Let this be the sign of your love for me; wherever we go, say of me, He is my brother.

bbe@Genesis:20:14 @Then Abimelech gave to Abraham sheep and oxen and men-servants and women-servants, and gave him back his wife Sarah.

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

bbe@Genesis:20:17 @Then Abraham made prayer to God, and God made Abimelech well again, and his wife and his women-servants, so that they had children.

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

bbe@Genesis:21:1 @And the Lord came to Sarah as he had said and did to her as he had undertaken.

bbe@Genesis:21:2 @And Sarah became with child, and gave Abraham a son when he was old, at the time named by God.

bbe@Genesis:21:3 @And Abraham gave to his son, to whom Sarah had given birth, the name Isaac.

bbe@Genesis:21:6 @And Sarah said, God has given me cause for laughing, and everyone who has news of it will be laughing with me.

bbe@Genesis:21:12 @But God said, Let it not be a grief to you because of the boy and Hagar his mother; give ear to whatever Sarah says to you, because it is from Isaac that your seed will take its name.

bbe@Genesis:21:14 @And early in the morning Abraham got up, and gave Hagar some bread and a water-skin, and put the boy on her back, and sent her away: and she went, wandering in the waste land of Beer-sheba

bbe@Genesis:21:16 @And she went some distance away, about an arrow flight, and seating herself on the earth, she gave way to bitter weeping, saying, Let me not see the death of my child.

bbe@Genesis:21:17 @And the boy's cry came to the ears of God; and the angel of God said to Hagar from heaven, Hagar, why are you weeping? have no fear, for the child's cry has come to the ears of God.

bbe@Genesis:21:18 @Come, take your child in your arms, for I will make of him a great nation.

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

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

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

bbe@Genesis:21:25 @But Abraham made a protest to Abimelech because of a water-hole which Abimelech's servants had taken by force.

bbe@Genesis:21:26 @But Abimelech said, I have no idea who has done this thing; you never gave me word of it, and I had no knowledge of it till this day.

bbe@Genesis:21:27 @And Abraham took sheep and oxen and gave them to Abimelech, and the two of them made an agreement together.

bbe@Genesis:21:29 @Then Abimelech said, What are these seven lambs which you have put on one side?

bbe@Genesis:21:30 @And he said, Take these seven lambs from me as a witness that I have made this water-hole.

bbe@Genesis:21:31 @So he gave that place the name Beer-sheba, because there the two of them had given their oaths.

bbe@Genesis:21:32 @So they made an agreement at Beer-sheba, and Abimelech and Phicol, the captain of his army, went back to the land of the Philistines.

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

bbe@Genesis:22:3 @And Abraham got up early in the morning, and made ready his ass, and took with him two of his young men and Isaac, his son, and after the wood for the burned offering had been cut, he went on his way to the place of which God had given him word.

bbe@Genesis:22:5 @Then he said to his young men, Keep here with the ass; and I and the boy will go on and give worship and come back again to you.

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

bbe@Genesis:22:11 @But the voice of the angel of the Lord came from heaven, saying, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.

bbe@Genesis:22:12 @And he said, Let not your hand be stretched out against the boy to do anything to him; for now I am certain that the fear of God is in your heart, because you have not kept back your son, your only son, from me.

bbe@Genesis:22:14 @And Abraham gave that place the name Yahweh-yireh: as it is said to this day, In the mountain the Lord is seen.

bbe@Genesis:22:15 @And the voice of the angel of the Lord came to Abraham a second time from heaven,

bbe@Genesis:22:16 @Saying, I have taken an oath by my name, says the Lord, because you have done this and have not kept back from me your dearly loved only son,

bbe@Genesis:22:19 @Then Abraham went back to his young men and they went together to Beer-sheba, the place where Abraham was living.

bbe@Genesis:23:3 @And Abraham came from his dead and said to the children of Heth,

bbe@Genesis:23:4 @I am living among you as one from a strange country: give me some land here as my property, so that I may put my dead to rest.

bbe@Genesis:23:8 @And he said to them, If you will let me put my dead to rest here, make a request for me to Ephron, the son of Zohar,

bbe@Genesis:23:9 @That he will give me the hollow in the rock named Machpelah, which is his property at the end of his field; let him give it to me for its full price as a resting-place for my dead among you.

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

bbe@Genesis:23:13 @And Abraham said to Ephron, in the hearing of the people of the land, If only you will give ear to me, I will give you the price of the field; take it, and let me put my dead to rest there.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:24:1 @Now Abraham was old and far on in years: and the Lord had given him everything in full measure.

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

bbe@Genesis:24:5 @And the servant said, If by chance the woman will not come with me into this land, am I to take your son back again to the land from which you came?

bbe@Genesis:24:7 @The Lord God of heaven, who took me from my father's house and from the land of my birth, and made an oath to me, saying, To your seed I will give this land: he will send his angel before you and give you a wife for my son in that land.

bbe@Genesis:24:8 @And if the woman will not come with you, then you are free from this oath; only do not take my son back there.

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

bbe@Genesis:24:11 @And he made the camels take their rest outside the town by the water-spring in the evening, at the time when the women came to get water.

bbe@Genesis:24:12 @And he said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, let me do well in what I have undertaken this day, and give your mercy to my master Abraham.

bbe@Genesis:24:14 @Now, may the girl to whom I say, Let down your vessel and give me a drink, and who says in answer, Here is a drink for you and let me give water to your camels: may she be the one marked out by you for your servant Isaac: so may I be certain that you have been good to my master Abraham.

bbe@Genesis:24:15 @And even before his words were ended, Rebekah, the daughter of Bethuel, the son of Milcah, who was the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her water-vessel on her arm.

bbe@Genesis:24:17 @And the servant came running to her and said, Give me a little water from your vessel.

bbe@Genesis:24:19 @And having done so, she said, I will get water for your camels till they have had enough.

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

bbe@Genesis:24:21 @And the man, looking at her, said nothing, waiting to see if the Lord had given his journey a good outcome.

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

bbe@Genesis:24:27 @And said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of my master Abraham, who has given a sign that he is good and true to my master, by guiding me straight to the house of my master's family.

bbe@Genesis:24:29 @Now Rebekah had a brother named Laban, and he came out quickly to the man at the water-spring.

bbe@Genesis:24:30 @And when he saw the nose-ring and the ornaments on his sister's hands, and when she gave him word of what the man had said to her, then he went out to the man who was waiting with the camels by the water-spring.

bbe@Genesis:24:31 @And he said to him, Come in, you on whom is the blessing of the Lord; why are you waiting outside? for I have made the house ready for you, and a place for the camels.

bbe@Genesis:24:32 @Then the man came into the house, and Laban took their cords off the camels and gave them dry grass and food, and he gave to him and the men who were with him water for washing their feet.

bbe@Genesis:24:33 @And meat was put before him, but he said, I will not take food till I have made my business clear to you. And they said, Do so.

bbe@Genesis:24:35 @The Lord has given my master every blessing, and he has become great: he has given him flocks and herds and silver and gold, and men-servants and women-servants and camels and asses.

bbe@Genesis:24:37 @And my master made me take an oath, saying, Do not get a wife for my son from the daughters of the Canaanites among whom I am living;

bbe@Genesis:24:39 @And I said to my master, What if the woman will not come with me?

bbe@Genesis:24:40 @And he said, The Lord, whom I have ever kept before me, will send his angel with you, who will make it possible for you to get a wife for my son from my relations and my father's house;

bbe@Genesis:24:41 @And you will be free from your oath to me when you come to my people; and if they will not give her to you, you will be free from your oath.

bbe@Genesis:24:42 @And I came today to the water-spring, and I said, O Lord, the God of my master Abraham, if it is your purpose to give a good outcome to my journey,

bbe@Genesis:24:43 @Let it come about that, while I am waiting here by the water-spring, if a girl comes to get water and I say to her, Give me a little water from your vessel, and she says,

bbe@Genesis:24:44 @Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels; let her be the woman marked out by the Lord for my master's son.

bbe@Genesis:24:45 @And even while I was saying this to myself, Rebekah came out with her vessel on her arm; and she went down to the spring to get water; and I said to her, Give me a drink.

bbe@Genesis:24:46 @And straight away she took down her vessel from her arm, and said, Take a drink, and I will get water for your camels.

bbe@Genesis:24:47 @And questioning her, I said, Whose daughter are you? And she said, The daughter of Bethuel, the son of Nahor, and Milcah his wife. Then I put the ring on her nose and the ornaments on her hands.

bbe@Genesis:24:49 @And now, say if you will do what is good and right for my master or not, in order that it may be clear to me what I have to do.

bbe@Genesis:24:54 @Then he and the men who were with him had food and drink, and took their rest there that night; and in the morning he got up, and said, Let me now go back to my master.

bbe@Genesis:24:56 @And he said, Do not keep me; the Lord has given a good outcome to my journey; let me now go back to my master.

bbe@Genesis:24:59 @So they sent their sister Rebekah and her servant with Abraham's servant and his men.

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

bbe@Genesis:24:61 @So Rebekah and her servant-women went with the man, seated on the camels; and so the servant took Rebekah and went on his way.

bbe@Genesis:24:62 @Now Isaac had come through the waste land to Beer-lahai-roi; for he was living in the South.

bbe@Genesis:24:63 @And when the evening was near, he went wandering out into the fields, and lifting up his eyes he saw camels coming.

bbe@Genesis:24:64 @And when Rebekah, looking up, saw Isaac, she got down from her camel,

bbe@Genesis:24:67 @And Isaac took Rebekah into his tent and she became his wife; and in his love for her, Isaac was comforted after his father's death.

bbe@Genesis:25:1 @And Abraham took another wife named Keturah.

bbe@Genesis:25:2 @She became the mother of Zimran and Jokshan and Medan and Midian and Ishbak and Shuah.

bbe@Genesis:25:3 @And Jokshan became the father of Sheba and Dedan. And from Dedan came the Asshurim and Letushim and Leummim.

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

bbe@Genesis:25:6 @But to the sons of his other women he gave offerings, and sent them away, while he was still living, into the east country.

bbe@Genesis:25:8 @And Abraham came to his death, an old man, full of years; and he was put to rest with his people.

bbe@Genesis:25:10 @The same field which Abraham got from the children of Heth: there Abraham was put to rest with Sarah, his wife.

bbe@Genesis:25:13 @These are the names of the sons of Ishmael by their generations: Ishmael's first son was Nebaioth; then Kedar and Adbeel and Mibsam

bbe@Genesis:25:16 @These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names in their towns and their tent-circles; twelve chiefs with their peoples.

bbe@Genesis:25:17 @And the years of Ishmael's life were a hundred and thirty-seven: and he came to his end, and was put to rest with his people.

bbe@Genesis:25:21 @Isaac made prayer to the Lord for his wife because she had no children; and the Lord gave ear to his prayer, and Rebekah became with child.

bbe@Genesis:25:23 @And the Lord said to her, Two nations are in your body, and two peoples will come to birth from you: the one will be stronger than the other, and the older will be the servant of the younger.

bbe@Genesis:25:24 @And when the time came for her to give birth, there were two children in her body.

bbe@Genesis:25:25 @And the first came out red from head to foot like a robe of hair, and they gave him the name of Esau.

bbe@Genesis:25:26 @And after him, his brother came out, gripping Esau's foot; and he was named Jacob: Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.

bbe@Genesis:25:27 @And the boys came to full growth; and Esau became a man of the open country, an expert bowman; but Jacob was a quiet man, living in tents.

bbe@Genesis:25:28 @Now Isaac's love was for Esau, because Esau's meat was greatly to his taste: but Rebekah had more love for Jacob.

bbe@Genesis:25:29 @And one day Jacob was cooking some soup when Esau came in from the fields in great need of food;

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

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

bbe@Genesis:25:32 @And Esau said, Truly, I am at the point of death: what profit is the birthright to me?

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

bbe@Genesis:26:1 @Then came a time of great need in the land, like that which had been before in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech, king of the Philistines, at Gerar.

bbe@Genesis:26:2 @And the Lord came to him in a vision and said, Do not go down to Egypt; keep in the land of which I will give you knowledge:

bbe@Genesis:26:7 @And when he was questioned by the men of the place about his wife, he said, She is my sister; fearing to say, She is my wife; for, he said, the men of the place may put me to death on account of Rebekah; because she is very beautiful.

bbe@Genesis:26:8 @And when he had been there for some time, Abimelech, king of the Philistines, looking through a window, saw Isaac playing with Rebekah his wife.

bbe@Genesis:26:10 @Then Abimelech said, What have you done to us? one of the people might well have had connection with your wife, and the sin would have been ours.

bbe@Genesis:26:11 @And Abimelech gave orders to his people that anyone touching Isaac or his wife was to be put to death

bbe@Genesis:26:12 @Now Isaac, planting seed in that land, got in the same year fruit a hundred times as much, for the blessing of the Lord was on him.

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

bbe@Genesis:26:16 @And Abimelech said to Isaac, Go away from us, for you are stronger than we are.

bbe@Genesis:26:18 @And he made again the water-holes which had been made in the days of Abraham his father, and which had been stopped up by the Philistines; and he gave them the names which his father had given them.

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

bbe@Genesis:26:20 @But the herdmen of Gerar had a fight with Isaac's herdmen, for they said, The spring is ours: so he gave the spring the name of Esek, because there was a fight about it.

bbe@Genesis:26:21 @Then they made another water-hole, and there was a fight about that, so he gave it the name of Sitnah.

bbe@Genesis:26:22 @Then he went away from there, and made another water-hole, about which there was no fighting: so he gave it the name of Rehoboth, for he said, Now the Lord has made room for us, and we will have fruit in this land.

bbe@Genesis:26:24 @That night the Lord came to him in a vision, and said, I am the God of your father Abraham: have no fear for I am with you, blessing you, and your seed will be increased because of my servant Abraham.

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

bbe@Genesis:26:26 @And Abimelech had come to him from Gerar, with Ahuzzath his friend and Phicol, the captain of his army.

bbe@Genesis:26:27 @And Isaac said to them, Why have you come to me, seeing that in your hate for me you sent me away from you?

bbe@Genesis:26:28 @And they said, We saw clearly that the Lord was with you: so we said, Let there be an oath between us and you, and let us make an agreement with you;

bbe@Genesis:26:32 @And that day Isaac's servants came to him and gave him word of the water-hole which they had made, and said to him, We have come to water.

bbe@Genesis:26:33 @And he gave it the name of Shibah: so the name of that town is Beer-sheba to this day.

bbe@Genesis:27:1 @Now when Isaac was old and his eyes had become clouded so that he was not able to see, he sent for Esau, his first son, and said to him, My son: and he said, Here am I.

bbe@Genesis:27:2 @And he said, See now, I am old, and my death may take place at any time:

bbe@Genesis:27:3 @So take your arrows and your bow and go out to the field and get meat for me;

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

bbe@Genesis:27:5 @Now Isaac's words to his son were said in Rebekah's hearing. Then Esau went out to get the meat.

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

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

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

bbe@Genesis:27:12 @If by chance my father puts his hand on me, it will seem to him that I am tricking him, and he will put a curse on me in place of a blessing.

bbe@Genesis:27:13 @And his mother said, Let the curse be on me, my son: only do as I say, and go and get them for me

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

bbe@Genesis:27:17 @And she gave into the hand of Jacob, her son, the meat and the bread which she had made ready.

bbe@Genesis:27:18 @And he came to his father, and said, My father: and he said, Here am I: who are you, my son?

bbe@Genesis:27:19 @And Jacob said, I am Esau, your oldest son; I have done as you said: come now, be seated and take of my meat, so that you may give me a blessing.

bbe@Genesis:27:20 @And Isaac said, How is it that you have got it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord your God made it come my way.

bbe@Genesis:27:21 @And Isaac said, Come near so that I may put my hand on you, my son, and see if you are truly my son Esau or not.

bbe@Genesis:27:25 @And he said, Put it before me and I will take of my son's meat, so that I may give you a blessing. And he put it before him and he took it; and he gave him wine, and he had a drink.

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

bbe@Genesis:27:27 @And he came near and gave him a kiss; and smelling the smell of his clothing, he gave him a blessing, and said, See, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field on which the blessing of the Lord has come:

bbe@Genesis:27:28 @May God give you the dew of heaven, and the good things of the earth, and grain and wine in full measure:

bbe@Genesis:27:30 @And when Isaac had come to the end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob had not long gone away from Isaac his father, Esau came in from the field.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:27:34 @And hearing the words of his father, Esau gave a great and bitter cry, and said to his father, Give a blessing to me, even to me, O my father!

bbe@Genesis:27:35 @And he said, Your brother came with deceit, and took away your blessing.

bbe@Genesis:27:36 @And he said, Is it because he is named Jacob that he has twice taken my place? for he took away my birthright, and now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have you not kept a blessing for me?

bbe@Genesis:27:38 @And Esau said to his father, Is that the only blessing you have, my father? give a blessing to me, even me! And Esau was overcome with weeping.

bbe@Genesis:27:44 @And be there with him for a little time, till your brother's wrath is turned away;

bbe@Genesis:27:45 @Till the memory of what you have done to him is past and he is no longer angry: then I will send word for you to come back; are the two of you to be taken from me in one day?

bbe@Genesis:27:46 @Then Rebekah said to Isaac, My life is a weariness to me because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob takes a wife from among the daughters of Heth, such as these, the women of this land, of what use will my life be to me?

bbe@Genesis:28:1 @Then Isaac sent for Jacob, and blessing him, said, Do not take a wife from among the women of Canaan;

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

bbe@Genesis:28:6 @So when Esau saw that Isaac had given Jacob his blessing, and sent him away to Paddan-aram to get a wife for himself there, blessing him and saying to him, Do not take a wife from among the women of Canaan;

bbe@Genesis:28:8 @It was clear to Esau that his father had no love for the women of Canaan,

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

bbe@Genesis:28:17 @And fear came on him, and he said, This is a holy place; this is nothing less than the house of God and the doorway of heaven.

bbe@Genesis:28:19 @And he gave that place the name of Beth-el, but before that time the town was named Luz.

bbe@Genesis:28:20 @Then Jacob took an oath, and said, If God will be with me, and keep me safe on my journey, and give me food and clothing to put on,

bbe@Genesis:28:21 @So that I come again to my father's house in peace, then I will take the Lord to be my God,

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

bbe@Genesis:29:1 @Then Jacob went on his journey till he came to the land of the children of the East.

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

bbe@Genesis:29:4 @Then Jacob said to the herdmen, My brothers, where do you come from? And they said, From Haran.

bbe@Genesis:29:7 @Then Jacob said, The sun is still high and it is not time to get the cattle together: get water for the sheep and go and give them their food.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:29:10 @Then when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of Laban, his mother's brother, coming with Laban's sheep, he came near, and rolling the stone away from the mouth of the hole, he got water for Laban's flock.

bbe@Genesis:29:13 @And Laban, hearing news of Jacob, his sister's son, came running, and took Jacob in his arms, and kissing him, made him come into his house. And Jacob gave him news of everything.

bbe@Genesis:29:15 @Then Laban said to Jacob, Because you are my brother are you to be my servant for nothing? say now, what is your payment to be?

bbe@Genesis:29:16 @Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the older was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.

bbe@Genesis:29:19 @And Laban said, It is better for you to have her than another man: go on living here with me.

bbe@Genesis:29:20 @And Jacob did seven years' work for Rachel; and because of his love for her it seemed to him only a very little time.

bbe@Genesis:29:21 @Then Jacob said to Laban, Give me my wife so that I may have her, for the days are ended.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:29:27 @Let the week of the bride-feast come to its end and then we will give you the other in addition, if you will be my servant for another seven years.

bbe@Genesis:29:32 @And Leah was with child, and gave birth to a son to whom she gave the name Reuben: for she said, The Lord has seen my sorrow; now my husband will have love for me.

bbe@Genesis:29:33 @Then she became with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Because it has come to the Lord's ears that I am not loved, he has given me this son in addition: and she gave him the name Simeon.

bbe@Genesis:29:34 @And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son; and said, Now at last my husband will be united to me, because I have given him three sons: so he was named Levi.

bbe@Genesis:29:35 @And she was with child again, and gave birth to a son: and she said, This time I will give praise to the Lord: so he was named Judah; after this she had no more children for a time.

bbe@Genesis:30:1 @Now Rachel, because she had no children, was full of envy of her sister; and she said to Jacob, If you do not give me children I will not go on living.

bbe@Genesis:30:5 @And Bilhah became with child, and gave birth to a son.

bbe@Genesis:30:6 @Then Rachel said, God has been my judge, and has given ear to my voice, and has given me a son; so he was named Dan.

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

bbe@Genesis:30:9 @When it was clear to Leah that she would have no more children for a time, she gave Zilpah, her servant, to Jacob as a wife.

bbe@Genesis:30:11 @And Leah said, It has gone well for me: and she gave him the name Gad.

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

bbe@Genesis:30:14 @Now at the time of the grain-cutting, Reuben saw some love-fruits in the field, and took them to his mother Leah. And Rachel said to her, Let me have some of your son's love-fruits.

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

bbe@Genesis:30:16 @In the evening, when Jacob came in from the field, Leah went out to him and said, Tonight you are to come to me, for I have given my son's love-fruits as a price for you. And he went in to her that night.

bbe@Genesis:30:17 @And God gave ear to her and she became with child, and gave Jacob a fifth son.

bbe@Genesis:30:18 @Then Leah said, God has made payment to me for giving my servant-girl to my husband: so she gave her son the name Issachar.

bbe@Genesis:30:19 @And again Leah became with child, and she gave Jacob a sixth son

bbe@Genesis:30:20 @And she said, God has given me a good bride-price; now at last will I have my husband living with me, for I have given him six sons: and she gave him the name Zebulun.

bbe@Genesis:30:21 @After that she had a daughter, to whom she gave the name Dinah.

bbe@Genesis:30:23 @And she was with child, and gave birth to a son: and she said, God has taken away my shame.

bbe@Genesis:30:24 @And she gave him the name Joseph, saying, May the Lord give me another son.

bbe@Genesis:30:25 @Now after the birth of Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, Let me go away to my place and my country.

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

bbe@Genesis:30:27 @And Laban said, If you will let me say so, do not go away; for I have seen by the signs that the Lord has been good to me because of you.

bbe@Genesis:30:28 @Say then what your payment is to be and I will give it.

bbe@Genesis:30:30 @For before I came you had little, and it has been greatly increased; and the Lord has given you a blessing in everything I have done; but when am I to do something for my family?

bbe@Genesis:30:31 @And Laban said, What am I to give you? And Jacob said, Do not give me anything; but I will again take up the care of your flock if you will only do this for me:

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

bbe@Genesis:30:33 @And so you will be able to put my honour to the test in time to come; if you see among my flocks any goats which are not marked or coloured, or any sheep which is not black, you may take me for a thief.

bbe@Genesis:30:38 @And he put the banded sticks in the drinking-places where the flock came to get water; and they became with young when they came to the water.

bbe@Genesis:30:41 @And whenever the stronger ones of the flock became with young, Jacob put the sticks in front of them in the drinking-places, so that they might become with young when they saw the sticks.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:31:4 @And Jacob sent for Rachel and Leah to come to him in the field among his flock.

bbe@Genesis:31:5 @And he said to them, It is clear to me that your father's feeling is no longer what it was to me; but the God of my father has been with me

bbe@Genesis:31:7 @But your father has not kept faith with me, and ten times he has made changes in my payment; but God has kept him from doing me damage.

bbe@Genesis:31:9 @So God has taken away your father's cattle and has given them to me.

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

bbe@Genesis:31:11 @And in my dream the angel of the Lord said to me, Jacob: and I said, Here am I.

bbe@Genesis:31:13 @I am the God of Beth-el, where you put oil on the pillar and took an oath to me: now then, come out of this land and go back to the country of your birth.

bbe@Genesis:31:17 @Then Jacob put his wives and his sons on camels;

bbe@Genesis:31:23 @And taking the men of his family with him, he went after him for seven days and overtook him in the hill-country of Gilead.

bbe@Genesis:31:24 @Then God came to Laban in a dream by night, and said to him, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.

bbe@Genesis:31:27 @Why did you make a secret of your flight, not giving me word of it, so that I might have sent you away with joy and songs, with melody and music?

bbe@Genesis:31:28 @You did not even let me give a kiss to my sons and my daughters. This was a foolish thing to do.

bbe@Genesis:31:29 @It is in my power to do you damage: but the God of your father came to me this night, saying, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.

bbe@Genesis:31:31 @And Jacob, in answer, said to Laban, My fear was that you might take your daughters from me by force.

bbe@Genesis:31:33 @So Laban went into Jacob's tent and into Leah's tent, and into the tents of the two servant-women, but they were not there; and he came out of Leah's tent and went into Rachel's.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:31:36 @Then Jacob was angry with Laban, and said, What crime or sin have I done that you have come after me with such passion?

bbe@Genesis:31:39 @Anything which was wounded by beasts I did not take to you, but myself made up for the loss of it; you made me responsible for whatever was taken by thieves, by day or by night.

bbe@Genesis:31:41 @These twenty years I have been in your house; I was your servant for fourteen years because of your daughters, and for six years I kept your flock, and ten times was my payment changed.

bbe@Genesis:31:42 @If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, you would have sent me away with nothing in my hands. But God has seen my troubles and the work of my hands, and this night he kept you back.

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

bbe@Genesis:31:44 @Come, let us make an agreement, you and I; and let it be for a witness between us.

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

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

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

bbe@Genesis:31:51 @And Laban said, See these stones and this pillar which I have put between you and me;

bbe@Genesis:31:52 @They will be witness that I will not go over these stones to you, and you will not go over these stones or this pillar to me, for any evil purpose.

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

bbe@Genesis:32:1 @And on his way Jacob came face to face with the angels of God.

bbe@Genesis:32:2 @And when he saw them he said, This is the army of God: so he gave that place the name of Mahanaim.

bbe@Genesis:32:5 @And I have oxen and asses and flocks and men-servants and women-servants: and I have sent to give my lord news of these things so that I may have grace in his eyes.

bbe@Genesis:32:6 @When the servants came back they said, We have seen your brother Esau and he is coming out to you, and four hundred men with him.

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

bbe@Genesis:32:8 @And said, If Esau, meeting one group, makes an attack on them, the others will get away safely.

bbe@Genesis:32:9 @Then Jacob said, O God of my father Abraham, the God of my father Isaac, the Lord who said to me, Go back to your country and your family and I will be good to you:

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

bbe@Genesis:32:11 @Be my saviour from the hand of Esau, my brother: for my fear is that he will make an attack on me, putting to death mother and child.

bbe@Genesis:32:15 @Thirty camels with their young ones, forty cows, ten oxen, twenty asses, and ten young asses.

bbe@Genesis:32:16 @These he gave to his servants, every herd by itself, and he said to his servants, Go on before me, and let there be a space between one herd and another.

bbe@Genesis:32:17 @And he gave orders to the first, saying, When my brother Esau comes to you and says, Whose servant are you, and where are you going, and whose are these herds?

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

bbe@Genesis:32:20 @And you are to say further, Jacob, your servant, is coming after us. For he said to himself, I will take away his wrath by the offering which I have sent on, and then I will come before him: it may be that I will have grace in his eyes.

bbe@Genesis:32:22 @And in the night he got up, and taking with him his two wives and the two servant-women and his eleven children, he went over the river Jabbok.

bbe@Genesis:32:25 @But when the man saw that he was not able to overcome Jacob, he gave him a blow in the hollow part of his leg, so that his leg was damaged.

bbe@Genesis:32:26 @And he said to him, Let me go now, for the dawn is near. But Jacob said, I will not let you go till you have given me your blessing.

bbe@Genesis:32:27 @Then he said, What is your name? And he said, Jacob.

bbe@Genesis:32:28 @And he said, Your name will no longer be Jacob, but Israel: for in your fight with God and with men you have overcome.

bbe@Genesis:32:29 @Then Jacob said, What is your name? And he said, What is my name to you? Then he gave him a blessing.

bbe@Genesis:32:30 @And Jacob gave that place the name of Peniel, saying, I have seen God face to face, and still I am living.

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

bbe@Genesis:33:1 @Then Jacob, lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming with his four hundred men. So he made a division of the children between Leah and Rachel and the two women-servants.

bbe@Genesis:33:3 @And he himself, going before them, went down on his face to the earth seven times till he came near his brother.

bbe@Genesis:33:4 @Then Esau came running up to him, and folding him in his arms, gave him a kiss: and the two of them were overcome with weeping.

bbe@Genesis:33:5 @Then Esau, lifting up his eyes, saw the women and the children, and said, Who are these with you? And he said, The children whom God in his mercy has given to your servant.

bbe@Genesis:33:6 @Then the servants and their children came near, and went down on their faces.

bbe@Genesis:33:7 @And Leah came near with her children, and then Joseph and Rachel, and they did the same.

bbe@Genesis:33:10 @And Jacob said, Not so; but if I have grace in your eyes, take them as a sign of my love, for I have seen your face as one may see the face of God, and you have been pleased with me.

bbe@Genesis:33:11 @Take my offering then, with my blessing; for God has been very good to me and I have enough: so at his strong request, he took it.

bbe@Genesis:33:14 @Do you, my lord, go on before your servant; I will come on slowly, at the rate at which the cattle and the children are able to go, till I come to my lord at Seir.

bbe@Genesis:33:15 @And Esau said, Then keep some of my men with you. And he said, What need is there for that, if my lord is pleased with me?

bbe@Genesis:33:17 @And Jacob went on to Succoth, where he made a house for himself and put up tents for his cattle: for this reason the place was named Succoth.

bbe@Genesis:33:18 @So Jacob came safely from Paddan-aram to the town of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and put up his tents near the town.

bbe@Genesis:34:1 @Now Dinah, the daughter whom Leah had by Jacob, went out to see the women of that country.

bbe@Genesis:34:4 @And Shechem said to Hamor, his father, Get me this girl for my wife.

bbe@Genesis:34:5 @Now Jacob had word of what Shechem had done to his daughter; but his sons were in the fields with the cattle, and Jacob said nothing till they came.

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

bbe@Genesis:34:7 @Now the sons of Jacob came in from the fields when they had news of it, and they were wounded and very angry because of the shame he had done in Israel by having connection with Jacob's daughter; and they said, Such a thing is not to be done.

bbe@Genesis:34:12 @However great you make the bride-price and payment, I will give it; only let me have the girl for my wife.

bbe@Genesis:34:14 @And they said, It is not possible for us to give our sister to one who is without circumcision, for that would be a cause of shame to us:

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

bbe@Genesis:34:19 @And without loss of time the young man did as they said, because he had delight in Jacob's daughter, and he was the noblest of his father's house.

bbe@Genesis:34:20 @Then Hamor and Shechem, his son, went to the meeting-place of their town, and said to the men of the town,

bbe@Genesis:34:21 @It is the desire of these men to be at peace with us; let them then go on living in this country and doing trade here, for the country is wide open before them; let us take their daughters as wives and let us give them our daughters.

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

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

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

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

bbe@Genesis:34:27 @And the sons of Jacob came on them when they were wounded and made waste the town because of what had been done to their sister;

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Genesis:35:9 @Now when Jacob was on his way from Paddan-aram, God came to him again and, blessing him, said,

bbe@Genesis:35:10 @Jacob is your name, but it will be so no longer; from now your name will be Israel; so he was named Israel.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:35:16 @So they went on from Beth-el; and while they were still some distance from Ephrath, the pains of birth came on Rachel and she had a hard time.

bbe@Genesis:35:18 @And in the hour when her life went from her (for death came to her), she gave the child the name Ben-oni: but his father gave him the name of Benjamin.

bbe@Genesis:35:19 @So Rachel came to her end and was put to rest on the road to Ephrath (which is Beth-lehem).

bbe@Genesis:35:20 @And Jacob put up a pillar on her resting-place; which is named, The Pillar of the resting-place of Rachel, to this day.

bbe@Genesis:35:23 @Now Jacob had twelve sons: the sons of Leah: Reuben, Jacob's first son, and Simeon and Levi and Judah and Issachar and Zebulun;

bbe@Genesis:35:27 @And Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, at Kiriath-arba, that is, Hebron, where Abraham and Isaac had been living.

bbe@Genesis:35:29 @Then Isaac came to his end and was put to rest with his father's people, an old man after a long life: and Jacob and Esau, his sons, put him in his last resting-place.

bbe@Genesis:36:2 @Esau's wives were women of Canaan: Adah, the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Oholibamah, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite,

bbe@Genesis:36:10 @These are the names of Esau's sons: Eliphaz, the son of Esau's wife Adah, and Reuel, the son of Esau's wife Basemath.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:36:24 @And these are the children of Zibeon: Aiah and Anah; that same Anah who made the discovery of the water-springs in the waste land, when he was looking after the asses of his father Zibeon.

bbe@Genesis:36:32 @Bela, son of Beor, was king in Edom, and the name of his chief town was Dinhabah.

bbe@Genesis:36:33 @At his death, Jobab, son of Zerah of Bozrah, became king in his place.

bbe@Genesis:36:34 @And at the death of Jobab, Husham, from the country of the Temanites, became king in his place.

bbe@Genesis:36:35 @And at the death of Husham, Hadad, son of Bedad, who overcame the Midianites in the field of Moab, became king; his chief town was named Avith.

bbe@Genesis:36:36 @And at the death of Hadad, Samlah of Masrekah became king.

bbe@Genesis:36:37 @And at the death of Samlah, Shaul of Rehoboth by the River became king in his place.

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

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

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

bbe@Genesis:37:6 @And he said to them, Let me give you the story of my dream.

bbe@Genesis:37:7 @We were in the field, getting the grain stems together, and my grain kept upright, and yours came round and went down on the earth before mine.

bbe@Genesis:37:8 @And his brothers said to him, Are you to be our king? will you have authority over us? And because of his dream and his words, their hate for him became greater than ever.

bbe@Genesis:37:9 @Then he had another dream, and gave his brothers an account of it, saying, I have had another dream: the sun and the moon and eleven stars gave honour to me.

bbe@Genesis:37:13 @And Israel said to Joseph, Are not your brothers with the flock in Shechem? come, I will send you to them. And he said to him, Here am I.

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

bbe@Genesis:37:16 @And he said, I am looking for my brothers; please give me word of where they are keeping their flock.

bbe@Genesis:37:17 @And the man said, They have gone away from here, for they said in my hearing, Let us go to Dothan. So Joseph went after them and came up with them at Dothan.

bbe@Genesis:37:18 @But they saw him when he was a long way off, and before he came near them they made a secret design against him to put him to death;

bbe@Genesis:37:19 @Saying to one another, See, here comes this dreamer.

bbe@Genesis:37:20 @Let us now put him to death and put his body into one of these holes, and we will say, An evil beast has put him to death: then we will see what becomes of his dreams.

bbe@Genesis:37:23 @So when Joseph came to his brothers, they took off his long coat which he had on;

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

bbe@Genesis:37:28 @And some traders from Midian went by; so pulling Joseph up out of the hole, they gave him to the Ishmaelites for twenty bits of silver, and they took him to Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:37:29 @Now when Reuben came back to the hole, Joseph was not there; and giving signs of grief,

bbe@Genesis:37:31 @Then they took Joseph's coat, and put on it some of the blood from a young goat which they had put to death,

bbe@Genesis:37:32 @And they took the coat to their father, and said, We came across this; is it your son's coat or not?

bbe@Genesis:37:33 @And he saw that it was, and said, It is my son's coat; an evil beast has put him to death; without doubt Joseph has come to a cruel end.

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

bbe@Genesis:37:36 @And in Egypt the men of Midian gave him for a price to Potiphar, a captain of high position in Pharaoh's house.

bbe@Genesis:38:1 @Now at that time, Judah went away from his brothers and became the friend of a man of Adullam named Hirah.

bbe@Genesis:38:2 @And there he saw the daughter of a certain man of Canaan named Shua, and took her as his wife.

bbe@Genesis:38:3 @And she gave birth to a son, and he gave him the name Er.

bbe@Genesis:38:4 @And again she gave birth to a son, and he gave him the name Onan.

bbe@Genesis:38:5 @Then she had another son, to whom she gave the name Shelah; she was at Chezib when the birth took place.

bbe@Genesis:38:6 @And Judah took a wife for his first son Er, and her name was Tamar.

bbe@Genesis:38:11 @Then Judah said to Tamar, his daughter-in-law, Go back to your father's house and keep yourself as a widow till my son Shelah becomes a man: for he had in his mind the thought that death might come to him as it had come to his brothers. So Tamar went back to her father's house.

bbe@Genesis:38:12 @And after a time, Bath-shua, Judah's wife, came to her end; and after Judah was comforted for her loss, he went to Timnah, where they were cutting the wool of his sheep, and his friend Hirah of Adullam went with him.

bbe@Genesis:38:16 @And turning to her by the roadside, he said to her, Let me come in to you; for he had no idea that she was his daughter-in-law. And she said, What will you give me as my price?

bbe@Genesis:38:17 @And he said, I will give you a young goat from the flock. And she said, What will you give me as a sign till you send it?

bbe@Genesis:38:18 @And he said, What would you have? And she said, Your ring and its cord and the stick in your hand. So he gave them to her and went in to her, and she became with child by him.

bbe@Genesis:38:21 @And he put questions to the men of the place, saying, Where is the loose woman who was in Enaim by the wayside? And they said, There was no such woman there.

bbe@Genesis:38:22 @So he went back to Judah, and said, I have not seen her, and the men of the place say that there is no such woman there.

bbe@Genesis:38:23 @And Judah said, Let her keep the things, so that we may not be shamed; I sent the young goat, but you did not see the woman.

bbe@Genesis:38:24 @Now about three months after this, word came to Judah that Tamar, his daughter-in-law, had been acting like a loose woman and was with child. And Judah said, Take her out and let her be burned.

bbe@Genesis:38:27 @And when the time came for her to give birth, it was clear that there were two children in her body.

bbe@Genesis:38:28 @And while she was in the act of giving birth, one of them put out his hand; and the woman who was with her put a red thread round his hand, saying, This one came out first.

bbe@Genesis:38:29 @But then he took his hand back again, and his brother came first to birth: and the woman said, What an opening you have made for yourself! So he was named Perez.

bbe@Genesis:38:30 @And then his brother came out, with the red thread round his hand, and he was named Zerah.

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

bbe@Genesis:39:7 @And after a time, his master's wife, looking on Joseph with desire, said to him, Be my lover.

bbe@Genesis:39:9 @So that no one has more authority in this house than I have; he has kept nothing back from me but you, because you are his wife; how then may I do this great wrong, sinning against God?

bbe@Genesis:39:10 @And day after day she went on requesting Joseph to come to her and be her lover, but he would not give ear to her.

bbe@Genesis:39:11 @Now one day he went into the house to do his work; and not one of the men of the house was inside.

bbe@Genesis:39:12 @And pulling at his coat, she said, Come to my bed; but slipping out of his coat, he went running away.

bbe@Genesis:39:14 @She sent for the men of her house and said to them, See, he has let a Hebrew come here and make sport of us; he came to my bed, and I gave a loud cry;

bbe@Genesis:39:16 @And she kept his coat by her, till his master came back.

bbe@Genesis:39:17 @Then she gave him the same story, saying, The Hebrew servant whom you have taken into our house came in to make sport of me;

bbe@Genesis:39:19 @And hearing his wife's account of what his servant had done, he became very angry.

bbe@Genesis:40:1 @Now after these things the chief servant who had the care of the wine, and the chief bread-maker in Pharaoh's house, did something against Pharaoh's orders;

bbe@Genesis:40:3 @And he put them in prison under the care of the captain of the army, in the same prison where Joseph himself was shut up.

bbe@Genesis:40:4 @And the captain put them in Joseph's care, and he did what was needed for them; and they were kept in prison for some time.

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

bbe@Genesis:40:6 @And in the morning when Joseph came to them he saw that they were looking sad.

bbe@Genesis:40:8 @Then they said to him, We have had a dream, and no one is able to give us the sense. And Joseph said, Does not the sense of dreams come from God? what was your dream?

bbe@Genesis:40:9 @Then the chief wine-servant gave Joseph an account of his dream, and said, In my dream I saw a vine before me;

bbe@Genesis:40:10 @And on the vine were three branches; and it seemed as if it put out buds and flowers, and from them came grapes ready for cutting.

bbe@Genesis:40:14 @But keep me in mind when things go well for you, and be good to me and say a good word for me to Pharaoh and get me out of this prison:

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

bbe@Genesis:41:2 @And out of the Nile came seven cows, good-looking and fat, and their food was the river-grass.

bbe@Genesis:41:3 @And after them seven other cows came out of the Nile, poor-looking and thin; and they were by the side of the other cows.

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

bbe@Genesis:41:6 @And after them came up seven other heads, thin and wasted by the east wind.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:41:9 @Then the chief wine-servant said to Pharaoh, The memory of my sin comes back to me now;

bbe@Genesis:41:10 @Pharaoh had been angry with his servants, and had put me in prison in the house of the captain of the army, together with the chief bread-maker;

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

bbe@Genesis:41:13 @And it came about as he said: I was put back in my place, and the bread-maker was put to death by hanging.

bbe@Genesis:41:14 @Then Pharaoh sent for Joseph, and they took him quickly out of prison; and when his hair had been cut and his dress changed, he came before Pharaoh.

bbe@Genesis:41:15 @And Pharaoh said to Joseph, I have had a dream, and no one is able to give me the sense of it; now it has come to my ears that you are able to give the sense of a dream when it is put before you.

bbe@Genesis:41:18 @And out of the Nile came seven cows, fat and good-looking, and their food was the river-grass;

bbe@Genesis:41:19 @Then after them came seven other cows, very thin and poor-looking, worse than any I ever saw in the land of Egypt;

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

bbe@Genesis:41:21 @And even with the fat cows inside them they seemed as bad as before. And so I came out of my sleep.

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

bbe@Genesis:41:25 @Then Joseph said, These two dreams have the same sense: God has made clear to Pharaoh what he is about to do.

bbe@Genesis:41:26 @The seven fat cows are seven years, and the seven good heads of grain are seven years: the two have the same sense.

bbe@Genesis:41:27 @The seven thin and poor-looking cows who came up after them are seven years; and the seven heads of grain, dry and wasted by the east wind, are seven years when there will be no food.

bbe@Genesis:41:30 @And after that will come seven years when there will not be enough food; and the memory of the good years will go from men's minds; and the land will be made waste by the bad years;

bbe@Genesis:41:31 @And men will have no memory of the good time because of the need which will come after, for it will be very bitter.

bbe@Genesis:41:32 @And this dream came to Pharaoh twice, because this thing is certain, and God will quickly make it come about.

bbe@Genesis:41:36 @And let that food be kept in store for the land till the seven bad years which are to come in Egypt; so that the land may not come to destruction through need of food.

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

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

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

bbe@Genesis:41:49 @So he got together a store of grain like the sand of the sea; so great a store that after a time he gave up measuring it, for it might not be measured.

bbe@Genesis:41:50 @And before the time of need, Joseph had two sons, to whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-phera, priest of On, gave birth.

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

bbe@Genesis:41:52 @And to the second he gave the name Ephraim, for he said, God has given me fruit in the land of my sorrow.

bbe@Genesis:41:53 @And so the seven good years in Egypt came to an end.

bbe@Genesis:41:54 @Then came the first of the seven years of need as Joseph had said: and in every other land they were short of food; but in the land of Egypt there was bread.

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

bbe@Genesis:42:4 @But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph's brother, with them, for fear, as he said, that some evil might come to him.

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

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

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

bbe@Genesis:42:9 @Then the memory of his dreams about them came back to Joseph, and he said to them, You have come secretly to see how poor the land is.

bbe@Genesis:42:10 @And they said to him, Not so, my lord: your servants have come with money to get food.

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

bbe@Genesis:42:12 @And he said to them, No, but you have come to see how poor the land is.

bbe@Genesis:42:14 @And Joseph said, It is as I said; you have come with some secret purpose;

bbe@Genesis:42:15 @But in this way will you be put to the test: by the life of Pharaoh, you will not go away from this place till your youngest brother comes here.

bbe@Genesis:42:19 @If you are true men, let one of you be kept in prison, while you go and take grain for the needs of your families;

bbe@Genesis:42:20 @And come back to me with your youngest brother, so that your words may be seen to be true, and you will not be put to death. This is what you are to do.

bbe@Genesis:42:21 @And they said to one another, Truly, we did wrong to our brother, for we saw his grief of mind, and we did not give ear to his prayers; that is why this trouble has come on us.

bbe@Genesis:42:22 @And Reuben said to them, Did I not say to you, Do the child no wrong? but you gave no attention; so now, punishment has come on us for his blood.

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

bbe@Genesis:42:27 @Now at their night's resting-place one of them, opening his bag to give his ass some food, saw his money in the mouth of the bag.

bbe@Genesis:42:28 @And he said to his brothers, My money has been given back: it is in my bag; then their hearts became full of fear, and turning to one another they said, What is this which God has done to us?

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

bbe@Genesis:42:30 @The man who is the ruler of the country was rough with us and put us in prison, saying that we had come with a secret evil purpose.

bbe@Genesis:42:31 @And we said to him, We are true men, we have no evil designs;

bbe@Genesis:42:33 @And the ruler of the land said, In this way I may be certain that you are true men; let one of you be kept here with me, while you go and take grain for the needs of your families;

bbe@Genesis:42:34 @And come back to me with your youngest brother: then I will be certain that you are true men, and I will give your brother back to you and let you do trade in the land.

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

bbe@Genesis:42:37 @And Reuben said, Put my two sons to death if I do not come back to you with him; let him be in my care and I will give him safely back to you.

bbe@Genesis:43:3 @And Judah said to him, The man said to us with an oath, You are not to come before me again without your brother.

bbe@Genesis:43:5 @But if you will not send him, we will not go down: for the man said to us, You are not to come before me if your brother is not with you.

bbe@Genesis:43:6 @And Israel said, Why were you so cruel to me as to say to him that you had a brother?

bbe@Genesis:43:7 @And they said, The man put a number of questions to us about ourselves and our family, saying, Is your father still living? have you another brother? And we had to give him answers; how were we to have any idea that he would say, Come back with your brother?

bbe@Genesis:43:8 @Then Judah said to Israel, his father, Send the boy with me, and let us be up and going, so that we and you and our little ones may not come to destruction.

bbe@Genesis:43:9 @Put him into my care and make me responsible for him: if I do not give him safely back to you, let mine be the sin for ever.

bbe@Genesis:43:10 @Truly, if we had not let the time go by, we might have come back again by now.

bbe@Genesis:43:11 @Then their father Israel said to them, If it has to be so, then do this: take of the best fruits of the land in your vessels to give the man, perfumes and honey and spices and nuts:

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

bbe@Genesis:43:15 @So they took what their father said for the man, and twice as much money in their hands, and Benjamin, and went on their journey to Egypt, and came before Joseph.

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

bbe@Genesis:43:17 @And the servant did as Joseph said, and took the men into Joseph's house.

bbe@Genesis:43:18 @Now the men were full of fear because they had been taken into Joseph's house and they said, It is because of the money which was put back in our bags the first time; he is looking for something against us, so that he may come down on us and take us and our asses for his use.

bbe@Genesis:43:20 @And said, O my lord, we only came down the first time to get food;

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

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

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

bbe@Genesis:43:26 @And when Joseph came in, they gave him the things which they had for him, and went down to the earth before him.

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

bbe@Genesis:43:29 @Then, lifting up his eyes, he saw Benjamin, his brother, his mother's son, and he said, Is this your youngest brother of whom you gave me word? And he said, God be good to you, my son.

bbe@Genesis:43:30 @Then Joseph's heart went out to his brother, and he went quickly into his room, for he was overcome with weeping.

bbe@Genesis:43:31 @Then, after washing his face, he came out, and controlling his feelings said, Put food before us.

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

bbe@Genesis:43:34 @And Joseph sent food to them from his table, but he sent five times as much to Benjamin as to any of the others. And they took wine freely with him.

bbe@Genesis:44:1 @Then he gave orders to the servant who was over his house, saying, Put as much food into the men's bags as will go into them, and put every man's money in the mouth of his bag;

bbe@Genesis:44:3 @And at dawn the men, with their asses, were sent away.

bbe@Genesis:44:8 @See, the money which was in the mouth of our bags we gave back to you when we came again from Canaan: how then might we take silver or gold from your lord's house?

bbe@Genesis:44:9 @If it comes to light that any of your servants has done this, let him be put to death, and we will be your lord's servants.

bbe@Genesis:44:10 @And he said, Let it be as you say: he in whose bag it is seen will become my servant; and you will not be responsible.

bbe@Genesis:44:14 @So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house; and he was still there: and they went down on their faces before him.

bbe@Genesis:44:17 @Then he said, Far be it from me to do so: but the man who had my cup will be my servant; and you may go back to your father in peace.

bbe@Genesis:44:18 @Then Judah came near him, and said, Let your servant say a word in my lord's ears, and let not your wrath be burning against your servant: for you are in the place of Pharaoh to us.

bbe@Genesis:44:21 @And you said to your servants, Let him come down to me with you, so that I may see him.

bbe@Genesis:44:22 @And we said to my lord, His father will not let him go; for if he went away his father would come to his death.

bbe@Genesis:44:23 @But you said to your servants, If your youngest brother does not come with you, you will not see my face again.

bbe@Genesis:44:27 @And our father said to us, You have knowledge that my wife gave me two sons;

bbe@Genesis:44:28 @The one went away from me, and I said, Truly he has come to a violent death; and from that time I have not seen him,

bbe@Genesis:44:29 @If now you take this one from me, and some evil comes to him, you will make my grey head go down in sorrow to the underworld.

bbe@Genesis:44:31 @When he sees that the boy is not with us, he will come to his death, and our father's grey head will go down in sorrow to the underworld.

bbe@Genesis:44:33 @So now let me be my lord's servant here in place of the boy, and let him go back with his brothers.

bbe@Genesis:44:34 @For how may I go back to my father without the boy, and see the evil which will come on my father?

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

bbe@Genesis:45:4 @Then Joseph said to his brothers, Come near to me. And they came near, And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom you sent into Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:45:5 @Now do not be troubled or angry with yourselves for sending me away, because God sent me before you to be the saviour of your lives.

bbe@Genesis:45:6 @For these two years have been years of need, and there are still five more years to come in which there will be no ploughing or cutting of grain.

bbe@Genesis:45:7 @God sent me before you to keep you and yours living on earth so that you might become a great nation.

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

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

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

bbe@Genesis:45:11 @And there I will take care of you, so that you and your family may not be in need, for there are still five bad years to come.

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

bbe@Genesis:45:16 @And news of these things went through Pharaoh's house, and it was said that Joseph's brothers were come; and it seemed good to Pharaoh and his servants.

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

bbe@Genesis:45:19 @And say to them, This you are to do: take carts from the land of Egypt for your little ones and for your wives, and get your father and come back.

bbe@Genesis:45:24 @And he sent his brothers on their way, and said to them, See that you have no argument on the road.

bbe@Genesis:45:25 @So they went up from Egypt and came to the land of Canaan, to their father Jacob.

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

bbe@Genesis:45:27 @And they gave him an account of everything Joseph had said to them; and when he saw the carts which Joseph had sent for them, his spirit came back to him:

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

bbe@Genesis:46:4 @I will go down with you to Egypt, and I will see that you come back again, and at your death Joseph will put his hands on your eyes.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:46:10 @And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul, the son of a woman of Canaan;

bbe@Genesis:46:11 @And the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari;

bbe@Genesis:46:12 @And the sons of Judah: Er and Onan and Shelah and Perez and Zerah: but Er and Onan had come to their death in the land of Canaan; and the sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.

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

bbe@Genesis:46:27 @And the sons of Joseph whom he had in Egypt were two. Seventy persons of the family of Jacob came into Egypt.

bbe@Genesis:46:28 @Now he had sent Judah before him to Goshen, to get word from Joseph; and so they came to the land of Goshen.

bbe@Genesis:46:29 @And Joseph got his carriage ready and went to Goshen for the meeting with his father; and when he came before him, he put his arms round his neck, weeping.

bbe@Genesis:46:31 @And Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's people, I will go and give the news to Pharaoh, and say to him, My brothers and my father's people, from the land of Canaan, have come to me;

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

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

bbe@Genesis:47:4 @And they said to Pharaoh, We have come to make a living in this land, because we have no grass for our flocks in the land of Canaan; so now let your servants make a place for themselves in the land of Goshen.

bbe@Genesis:47:5 @And Pharaoh said to Joseph, Let them have the land of Goshen; and if there are any able men among them, put them over my cattle.

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

bbe@Genesis:47:7 @Then Joseph made his father Jacob come before Pharaoh, and Jacob gave him his blessing.

bbe@Genesis:47:11 @And Joseph made a place for his father and his brothers, and gave them a heritage in the land of Egypt, in the best of the land, the land of Rameses, as Pharaoh had given orders.

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

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

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

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

bbe@Genesis:47:19 @Are we to come to destruction before your eyes, we and our land? take us and our land and give us bread; and we and our land will be servants to Pharaoh; and give us seed so that we may have life and the land may not become waste.

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

bbe@Genesis:47:26 @Then Joseph made a law which is in force to this day, that Pharaoh was to have the fifth part; only the land of the priests did not become his.

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

bbe@Genesis:47:29 @And the time of his death came near, and he sent for his son Joseph and said to him, If now I am dear to you, put your hand under my leg and take an oath that you will not put me to rest in Egypt;

bbe@Genesis:47:30 @But when I go to my fathers, you are to take me out of Egypt and put me to rest in their last resting-place. And he said, I will do so.

bbe@Genesis:47:31 @And he said, Take an oath to me; and he took an oath to him: and Israel gave worship on the bed's head.

bbe@Genesis:48:1 @Now after these things, word came to Joseph that his father was ill: and he took with him his sons Manasseh and Ephraim.

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

bbe@Genesis:48:4 @And said to me, Truly, I will make you fertile and give you increase and will make of you a great family of nations: and I will give this land to your seed after you to be their heritage for ever.

bbe@Genesis:48:5 @And now your two sons who came to birth in Egypt before I came to you here, are mine; Ephraim and Manasseh will be mine, in the same way as Reuben and Simeon are.

bbe@Genesis:48:6 @And any other offspring which you have after them, will be yours, and will be named after their brothers in their heritage.

bbe@Genesis:48:7 @And as for me, when I came from Paddan, death overtook Rachel on the way, when we were still some distance from Ephrath; and I put her to rest there on the road to Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem.

bbe@Genesis:48:9 @And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God has given me in this land. And he said, Let them come near me, and I will give them a blessing.

bbe@Genesis:48:10 @Now because Israel was old, his eyes were no longer clear, and he was not able to see. So he made them come near to him, and he gave them a kiss, folding them in his arms.

bbe@Genesis:48:11 @And Israel said to Joseph, I had no hope of seeing your face again, but God in his mercy has let me see you and your children.

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

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

bbe@Genesis:48:19 @But his father would not, saying, I am doing it on purpose, my son; he will certainly become a nation and a great one; but his younger brother will be greater than he, and his seed will become a great family of nations.

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

bbe@Genesis:49:2 @Come near, O sons of Jacob, and give ear to the words of Israel your father.

bbe@Genesis:49:5 @Simeon and Levi are brothers; deceit and force are their secret designs.

bbe@Genesis:49:6 @Take no part in their secrets, O my soul; keep far away, O my heart, from their meetings; for in their wrath they put men to death, and for their pleasure even oxen were wounded.

bbe@Genesis:49:9 @Judah is a young lion; like a lion full of meat you have become great, my son; now he takes his rest like a lion stretched out and like an old lion; by whom will his sleep be broken?

bbe@Genesis:49:10 @The rod of authority will not be taken from Judah, and he will not be without a law-giver, till he comes who has the right to it, and the peoples will put themselves under his rule.

bbe@Genesis:49:15 @And he saw that rest was good and the land was pleasing; so he let them put weights on his back and became a servant.

bbe@Genesis:49:19 @Gad, an army will come against him, but he will come down on them in their flight.

bbe@Genesis:49:24 @But their bows were broken by a strong one, and the cords of their arms were cut by the Strength of Jacob, by the name of the Stone of Israel:

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

bbe@Genesis:49:27 @Benjamin is a wolf, searching for meat: in the morning he takes his food, and in the evening he makes division of what he has taken.

bbe@Genesis:49:29 @And he gave orders to them, saying, Put me to rest with my people and with my fathers, in the hollow of the rock in the field of Ephron the Hittite,

bbe@Genesis:49:33 @And when Jacob had come to the end of these words to his sons, stretching himself on his bed, he gave up his spirit, and went the way of his people.

bbe@Genesis:50:4 @And when the days of weeping for him were past, Joseph said to the servants of Pharaoh, If now you have love for me, say these words to Pharaoh:

bbe@Genesis:50:5 @My father made me take an oath, saying, When I am dead, put me to rest in the place I have made ready for myself in the land of Canaan. So now let me go and put my father in his last resting-place, and I will come back again.

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

bbe@Genesis:50:9 @And carriages went up with him and horsemen, a great army.

bbe@Genesis:50:10 @And they came to the grain-floor of Atad on the other side of Jordan, and there they gave the last honours to Jacob, with great and bitter sorrow, weeping for their father for seven days.

bbe@Genesis:50:11 @And when the people of the land, the people of Canaan, at the grain-floor of Atad, saw their grief, they said, Great is the grief of the Egyptians: so the place was named Abel-mizraim, on the other side of Jordan.

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

bbe@Genesis:50:17 @You are to say to Joseph, Let the wrongdoing of your brothers be overlooked, and the evil they did to you: now, if it is your pleasure, let the sin of the servants of your father's God have forgiveness. And at these words, Joseph was overcome with weeping.

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

bbe@Genesis:50:23 @And Joseph saw Ephraim's children of the third generation: and the children of Machir, the son of Manasseh, came to birth on Joseph's knees.

bbe@Genesis:50:24 @Then Joseph said to his brothers, The time of my death has come; but God will keep you in mind and take you out of this land into the land which he gave by his oath to Abraham and Isaac and Jacob.

bbe@Genesis:50:26 @So Joseph came to his death, being a hundred and ten years old: and they made his body ready, and he was put in a chest in Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:1:1 @Now these are the names of the sons of Israel who came into Egypt; every man and his family came with Jacob.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:1:8 @Now a new king came to power in Egypt, who had no knowledge of Joseph.

bbe@Exodus:1:10 @Let us take care for fear that their numbers may become even greater, and if there is a war, they may be joined with those who are against us, and make an attack on us, and go up out of the land.

bbe@Exodus:1:15 @And the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew women who gave help at the time of childbirth (the name of the one was Shiphrah and the name of the other Puah),

bbe@Exodus:1:16 @When you are looking after the Hebrew women in childbirth, if it is a son you are to put him to death; but if it is a daughter, she may go on living.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:1:19 @And they said to Pharaoh, Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women, for they are strong, and the birth takes place before we come to them.

bbe@Exodus:1:20 @And the blessing of God was on these women: and the people were increased in number and became very strong.

bbe@Exodus:1:21 @And because the women who took care of the Hebrew mothers had the fear of God, he gave them families.

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

bbe@Exodus:2:2 @And she became with child and gave birth to a Son; and when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she kept him secretly for three months.

bbe@Exodus:2:4 @And his sister took her place at a distance to see what would become of him.

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

bbe@Exodus:2:7 @Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, May I go and get you one of the Hebrew women to give him the breast?

bbe@Exodus:2:9 @And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, Take the child away and give it milk for me, and I will give you payment. And the woman took the child and gave it milk at her breast.

bbe@Exodus:2:10 @And when the child was older, she took him to Pharaoh's daughter and he became her son, and she gave him the name Moses, Because, she said, I took him out of the water.

bbe@Exodus:2:11 @Now when Moses had become a man, one day he went out to his people and saw how hard their work was; and he saw an Egyptian giving blows to a Hebrew, one of his people.

bbe@Exodus:2:14 @And he said, Who made you a ruler and a judge over us? are you going to put me to death as you did the Egyptian? And Moses was in fear, and said, It is clear that the thing has come to light.

bbe@Exodus:2:16 @Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came to get water for their father's flock.

bbe@Exodus:2:17 @And the keepers of the sheep came up and were driving them away; but Moses got up and came to their help, watering their flock for them.

bbe@Exodus:2:18 @And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that you have come back so quickly today?

bbe@Exodus:2:19 @And they said, An Egyptian came to our help against the keepers of sheep and got water for us and gave it to the flock.

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

bbe@Exodus:2:22 @And she gave birth to a son, to whom he gave the name Gershom: for he said, I have been living in a strange land.

bbe@Exodus:2:23 @Now after a long time the king of Egypt came to his end: and the children of Israel were crying in their grief under the weight of their work, and their cry for help came to the ears of God.

bbe@Exodus:2:24 @And at the sound of their weeping the agreement which God had made with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob came to his mind.

bbe@Exodus:3:1 @Now Moses was looking after the flock of Jethro, his father-in-law, the priest of Midian: and he took the flock to the back of the waste land and came to Horeb, the mountain of God.

bbe@Exodus:3:2 @And the angel of the Lord was seen by him in a flame of fire coming out of a thorn-tree: and he saw that the tree was on fire, but it was not burned up.

bbe@Exodus:3:4 @And when the Lord saw him turning to one side to see, God said his name out of the tree, crying, Moses, Moses. And he said, Here am I.

bbe@Exodus:3:5 @And he said, Do not come near: take off your shoes from your feet, for the place where you are is holy.

bbe@Exodus:3:7 @And God said, Truly, I have seen the grief of my people in Egypt, and their cry because of their cruel masters has come to my ears; for I have knowledge of their sorrows;

bbe@Exodus:3:8 @And I have come down to take them out of the hands of the Egyptians, guiding them out of that land into a good land and wide, into a land flowing with milk and honey; into the place of the Canaanite and the Hittite and the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Hivite and the Jebusite.

bbe@Exodus:3:9 @For now, truly, the cry of the children of Israel has come to me, and I have seen the cruel behaviour of the Egyptians to them.

bbe@Exodus:3:10 @Come, then, and I will send you to Pharaoh, so that you may take my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt

bbe@Exodus:3:13 @And Moses said to God, When I come to the children of Israel and say to them, The God of your fathers has sent me to you: and they say to me, What is his name? what am I to say to them?

bbe@Exodus:3:14 @And God said to him, I AM WHAT I AM: and he said, Say to the children of Israel, I AM has sent me to you.

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

bbe@Exodus:3:16 @Go and get together the chiefs of the children of Israel, and say to them, The Lord, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Jacob, has been seen by me, and has said, Truly I have taken up your cause, because of what is done to you in Egypt;

bbe@Exodus:3:18 @And they will give ear to your voice: and you, with the chiefs of Israel, will go to Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and say to him, The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has come to us: let us then go three days' journey into the waste land to make an offering to the Lord our God.

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

bbe@Exodus:3:22 @For every woman will get from her neighbour and from the woman living in her house, ornaments of silver and gold, and clothing; and you will put them on your sons and your daughters; you will take the best of their goods from the Egyptians.

bbe@Exodus:4:1 @And Moses, answering, said, It is certain that they will not have faith in me or give ear to my voice; for they will say, You have not seen the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:4:3 @And he said, Put it down on the earth. And he put it down on the earth and it became a snake; and Moses went running from it.

bbe@Exodus:4:4 @And the Lord said to Moses, Put out your hand and take it by the tail: (and he put out his hand and took a grip of it and it became a rod in his hand:)

bbe@Exodus:4:7 @And he said, Put your hand inside your robe again. (And he put his hand into his robe again, and when he took it out he saw that it had become like his other flesh.)

bbe@Exodus:4:9 @And if they have no faith even in these two signs and will not give ear to your voice, then you are to take the water of the Nile and put it on the dry land: and the water you take out of the river will become blood on the dry land.

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

bbe@Exodus:4:18 @And Moses went back to Jethro, his father-in-law, and said to him, Let me go back now to my relations in Egypt and see if they are still living. And Jethro said to Moses, Go in peace.

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

bbe@Exodus:4:23 @And I said to you, Let my son go, so that he may give me worship; and you did not let him go: so now I will put the first of your sons to death.

bbe@Exodus:4:24 @Now on the journey, at the night's resting-place, the Lord came in his way and would have put him to death.

bbe@Exodus:4:25 @Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cutting off the skin of her son's private parts, and touching his feet with it, she said, Truly you are a husband of blood to me.

bbe@Exodus:4:27 @And the Lord said to Aaron, Go into the waste land and you will see Moses. So he went and came across Moses at the mountain of God, and gave him a kiss.

bbe@Exodus:5:1 @And after that, Moses and Aaron came to Pharaoh, and said, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, Let my people go so that they may keep a feast to me in the waste land.

bbe@Exodus:5:3 @And they said, The God of the Hebrews has come to us: let us then go three days' journey into the waste land to make an offering to the Lord our God, so that he may not send death on us by disease or the sword.

bbe@Exodus:5:6 @The same day Pharaoh gave orders to the overseers and those who were responsible for the work, saying,

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

bbe@Exodus:5:8 @But see that they make the same number of bricks as before, and no less: for they have no love for work; and so they are crying out and saying, Let us go and make an offering to our God.

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

bbe@Exodus:5:10 @And the overseers of the people and their responsible men went out and said to the people, Pharaoh says, I will give you no more dry stems.

bbe@Exodus:5:14 @And the responsible men of the children of Israel, whom Pharaoh's overseers had put over them, were given blows, and they said to them, Why have you not done your regular work, in making bricks as before?

bbe@Exodus:5:15 @Then the responsible men of the children of Israel came to Pharaoh, protesting and saying, Why are you acting in this way to your servants?

bbe@Exodus:5:19 @Then the responsible men of the children of Israel saw that they were purposing evil when they said, The number of bricks which you have to make every day will be no less than before.

bbe@Exodus:5:20 @And they came face to face with Moses and Aaron, who were in their way when they came out from Pharaoh:

bbe@Exodus:5:22 @And Moses went back to the Lord and said, Lord, why have you done evil to this people? why have you sent me?

bbe@Exodus:5:23 @For from the time when I came to Pharaoh to put your words before him, he has done evil to this people, and you have given them no help.

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

bbe@Exodus:6:4 @And I made an agreement with them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of their wanderings.

bbe@Exodus:6:5 @And truly my ears are open to the cry of the children of Israel whom the Egyptians keep under their yoke; and I have kept in mind my agreement.

bbe@Exodus:6:6 @Say then to the children of Israel, I am Yahweh, and I will take you out from under the yoke of the Egyptians, and make you safe from their power, and will make you free by the strength of my arm after great punishments.

bbe@Exodus:6:12 @And Moses, answering the Lord, said, See, the children of Israel will not give ear to me; how then will Pharaoh give ear to me, whose lips are unclean?

bbe@Exodus:6:13 @And the word of the Lord came to Moses and Aaron, with orders for the children of Israel and for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, to take the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:6:15 @And the sons of Simeon: Jemuel and Jamin and Ohad and Jachin and Zohar and Shaul, the son of a woman of Canaan: these are the families of Simeon.

bbe@Exodus:6:16 @And these are the names of the sons of Levi in the order of their generations: Gershon and Kohath and Merari: and the years of Levi's life were a hundred and thirty-seven.

bbe@Exodus:6:17 @The sons of Gershon: Libni and Shimei, in the order of their families.

bbe@Exodus:6:19 @And the sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi: these are the families of the Levites, in the order of their generations.

bbe@Exodus:6:26 @These are the same Aaron and Moses to whom the Lord said, Take the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt in their armies.

bbe@Exodus:6:27 @These are the men who gave orders to Pharaoh to let the children of Israel go out of Egypt: these are the same Moses and Aaron.

bbe@Exodus:6:28 @And on the day when the word of the Lord came to Moses in the land of Egypt,

bbe@Exodus:6:30 @And Moses said to the Lord, My lips are unclean; how is it possible that Pharaoh will give me a hearing?

bbe@Exodus:7:4 @But Pharaoh will not give ear to you, and I will put my hand on Egypt, and take my armies, my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt, after great punishments.

bbe@Exodus:7:9 @If Pharaoh says to you, Let me see a wonder: then say to Aaron, Take your rod and put it down on the earth before Pharaoh so that it may become a snake.

bbe@Exodus:7:10 @Then Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh and they did as the Lord had said: and Aaron put his rod down on the earth before Pharaoh and his servants, and it became a snake.

bbe@Exodus:7:11 @Then Pharaoh sent for the wise men and the wonder-workers, and they, the wonder-workers of Egypt, did the same with their secret arts.

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

bbe@Exodus:7:16 @And say to him, The Lord, the God of the Hebrews, has sent me to you, saying, Let my people go so that they may give me worship in the waste land; but up to now you have not given ear to his words

bbe@Exodus:7:18 @And the fish in the Nile will come to destruction, and the river will send up a bad smell, and the Egyptians will not be able, for disgust, to make use of the water of the Nile for drinking.

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

bbe@Exodus:7:22 @And the wonder-workers of Egypt did the same with their secret arts: but Pharaoh's heart was made hard, and he would not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

bbe@Exodus:8:1 @And this is what the Lord said to Moses: Go to Pharaoh and say to him, The Lord says, Let my people go so that they may give me worship.

bbe@Exodus:8:3 @The Nile will be full of frogs, and they will come up into your house and into your bedrooms and on your bed, and into the houses of your servants and your people, and into your ovens and into your bread-basins.

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

bbe@Exodus:8:5 @And the Lord said to Moses, Say to Aaron, Let the rod in your hand be stretched out over the streams and the waterways and the pools, causing frogs to come up on the land of Egypt.

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

bbe@Exodus:8:7 @And the wonder-workers did the same with their secret arts, making frogs come up over the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:8:8 @Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron and said, Make prayer to the Lord that he will take away these frogs from me and my people; and I will let the people go and make their offering to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:8:14 @And they put them together in masses, and a bad smell went up from the land.

bbe@Exodus:8:15 @But when Pharaoh saw that there was peace for a time, he made his heart hard and did not give ear to them, as the Lord had said.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:8:20 @And the Lord said to Moses, Get up early in the morning and take your place before Pharaoh when he comes out to the water; and say to him, This is what the Lord says: Let my people go to give me worship.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:8:28 @Then Pharaoh said, I will let you go to make an offering to the Lord your God in the waste land; but do not go very far away, and make prayer for me.

bbe@Exodus:9:1 @Then the Lord said to Moses, Go in to Pharaoh and say to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go so that they may give me worship.

bbe@Exodus:9:3 @Then the hand of the Lord will put on your cattle in the field, on the horses and the asses and the camels, on the herds and the flocks, a very evil disease.

bbe@Exodus:9:5 @And the time was fixed by the Lord, and he said, Tomorrow the Lord will do this thing in the land.

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

bbe@Exodus:9:10 @So they took some dust from the fire, and placing themselves before Pharaoh, Moses sent it out in a shower up to heaven; and it became a skin-disease bursting out on man and on beast.

bbe@Exodus:9:13 @And the Lord said to Moses, Get up early in the morning and take your place before Pharaoh, and say to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: Let my people go so that they may give me worship.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:9:18 @Truly, tomorrow about this time I will send down an ice-storm, such as never was in Egypt from its earliest days till now.

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

bbe@Exodus:9:20 @Then everyone among the servants of Pharaoh who had the fear of the Lord, made his servants and his cattle come quickly into the house:

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

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

bbe@Exodus:9:27 @Then Pharaoh sent for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, I have done evil this time: the Lord is upright, and I and my people are sinners.

bbe@Exodus:9:29 @And Moses said, When I am gone outside the town, my hands will be stretched out to the Lord; the thunders and the ice-storm will come to an end, so that you may see that the earth is the Lord's.

bbe@Exodus:9:32 @But the rest of the grain-plants were undamaged, for they had not come up.

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

bbe@Exodus:10:3 @Then Moses and Aaron went in to Pharaoh, and said to him, This is what the Lord, the God of the Hebrews, says: How long will you be lifted up in your pride before me? let my people go so that they may give me worship.

bbe@Exodus:10:7 @And Pharaoh's servants said to him, How long is this man to be the cause of evil to us? let the men go so that they may give worship to the Lord their God: are you not awake to Egypt's danger?

bbe@Exodus:10:8 @Then Moses and Aaron came in again before Pharaoh: and he said to them, Go and give worship to the Lord your God: but which of you are going?

bbe@Exodus:10:12 @And the Lord said to Moses, Let your hand be stretched out over the land of Egypt so that the locusts may come up on the land for the destruction of every green plant in the land, even everything untouched by the ice-storm.

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

bbe@Exodus:10:17 @Let me now have forgiveness for my sin this time only, and make prayer to the Lord your God that he will take away from me this death only.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:10:26 @So our cattle will have to go with us, not one may be kept back; for they are needed for the worship of the Lord our God; we have no knowledge what offering we have to give till we come to the place.

bbe@Exodus:10:28 @And Pharaoh said to him, Go away from me, take care that you come not again before me; for the day when you see my face again will be your last.

bbe@Exodus:11:1 @And the Lord said to Moses, I will send one more punishment on Pharaoh and on Egypt; after that he will let you go; and when he does let you go, he will not keep one of you back, but will send you out by force.

bbe@Exodus:11:2 @So go now and give orders to the people that every man and every woman is to get from his or her neighbour ornaments of silver and of gold.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:12:6 @Keep it till the fourteenth day of the same month, when everyone who is of the children of Israel is to put it to death between sundown and dark.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:12:13 @And the blood will be a sign on the houses where you are: when I see the blood I will go over you, and no evil will come on you for your destruction, when my hand is on the land of Egypt

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

bbe@Exodus:12:16 @And on the first day there is to be a holy meeting and on the seventh day a holy meeting; no sort of work may be done on those days but only to make ready what is necessary for everyone's food.

bbe@Exodus:12:22 @And take some hyssop and put it in the blood in the basin, touching the two sides and the top of the doorway with the blood from the basin; and let not one of you go out of his house till the morning.

bbe@Exodus:12:23 @For the Lord will go through the land, sending death on the Egyptians; and when he sees the blood on the two sides and the top of the door, the Lord will go over your door and will not let death come in for your destruction.

bbe@Exodus:12:25 @And when you come into the land which the Lord will make yours, as he gave his word, you are to keep this act of worship.

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

bbe@Exodus:12:32 @And take your flocks and your herds as you have said, and be gone; and give me your blessing.

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

bbe@Exodus:12:35 @And the children of Israel had done as Moses had said; and they got from the Egyptians ornaments of silver and of gold, and clothing:

bbe@Exodus:12:37 @And the children of Israel made the journey from Rameses to Succoth; there were about six hundred thousand men on foot, as well as children.

bbe@Exodus:12:39 @And they made unleavened cakes from the paste which they had taken out of Egypt; it was not leavened, for they had been sent out of Egypt so quickly, that they had no time to make any food ready.

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

bbe@Exodus:12:45 @A man from a strange country living among you, and a servant working for payment, may not take part in it.

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

bbe@Exodus:12:49 @The law is the same for him who is an Israelite by birth and for the man from a strange country who is living with you.

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

bbe@Exodus:13:3 @And Moses said to the people, Let this day, on which you came out of Egypt, out of your prison-house, be kept for ever in memory; for by the strength of his hand the Lord has taken you out from this place; let no leavened bread be used.

bbe@Exodus:13:8 @And you will say to your son in that day, It is because of what the Lord did for me when I came out of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:13:10 @So let this order be kept, at the right time, from year to year.

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

bbe@Exodus:13:14 @And when your son says to you in time to come, What is the reason for this? say to him, By the strength of his hand the Lord took us out of Egypt, out of the prison-house:

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

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

bbe@Exodus:14:5 @And word came to Pharaoh of the flight of the people: and the feeling of Pharaoh and of his servants about the people was changed, and they said, Why have we let Israel go, so that they will do no more work for us?

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

bbe@Exodus:14:10 @And when Pharaoh came near, the children of Israel, lifting up their eyes, saw the Egyptians coming after them, and were full of fear; and their cry went up to God.

bbe@Exodus:14:11 @And they said to Moses, Was there no resting-place for the dead in Egypt, that you have taken us away to come to our death in the waste land? why have you taken us out of Egypt?

bbe@Exodus:14:12 @Did we not say to you in Egypt, Let us be as we are, working for the Egyptians? for it is better to be the servants of the Egyptians than to come to our death in the waste land.

bbe@Exodus:14:15 @And the Lord said to Moses, Why are you crying out to me? give the children of Israel the order to go forward.

bbe@Exodus:14:17 @And I will make the heart of the Egyptians hard, and they will go in after them: and I will be honoured over Pharaoh and over his army, his war-carriages, and his horsemen

bbe@Exodus:14:18 @And the Egyptians will see that I am the Lord, when I get honour over Pharaoh and his war-carriages and his horsemen.

bbe@Exodus:14:19 @Then the angel of God, who had been before the tents of Israel, took his place at their back; and the pillar of cloud, moving from before them, came to rest at their back:

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:14:26 @And the Lord said to Moses, Let your hand be stretched out over the sea, and the waters will come back again on the Egyptians, and on their war-carriages and on their horsemen.

bbe@Exodus:14:27 @And when Moses' hand was stretched out over the sea, at dawn the sea came flowing back, meeting the Egyptians in their flight, and the Lord sent destruction on the Egyptians in the middle of the sea.

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

bbe@Exodus:14:31 @And Israel saw the great work which the Lord had done against the Egyptians, and the fear of the Lord came on the people and they had faith in the Lord and in his servant Moses.

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

bbe@Exodus:15:3 @The Lord is a man of war: the Lord is his name.

bbe@Exodus:15:6 @Full of glory, O Lord, is the power of your right hand; by your right hand those who came against you are broken.

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

bbe@Exodus:15:8 @By your breath the waves were massed together, the flowing waters were lifted up like a pillar; the deep waters became solid in the heart of the sea.

bbe@Exodus:15:10 @You sent your wind and the sea came over them: they went down like lead into the great waters.

bbe@Exodus:15:13 @In your mercy you went before the people whom you have made yours; guiding them in your strength to your holy place.

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

bbe@Exodus:15:16 @Fear and grief came on them; by the strength of your arm they were turned to stone; till your people went over, O Lord, till the people went over whom you have made yours.

bbe@Exodus:15:19 @For the horses of Pharaoh, with his war-carriages and his horsemen, went into the sea, and the Lord sent the waters of the sea back over them; but the children of Israel went through the sea on dry land

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

bbe@Exodus:15:23 @And when they came to Marah, the water was no good for drinking, for the waters of Marah were bitter, which is why it was named Marah.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:16:7 @And in the morning you will see the glory of the Lord; for your angry words against the Lord have come to his ears: and what are we that you are crying out against us?

bbe@Exodus:16:8 @And Moses said, The Lord will give you meat for your food at evening, and in the morning bread in full measure; for your outcry against the Lord has come to his ears: for what are we? your outcry is not against us but against the Lord.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:16:16 @This is what the Lord has said, Let every man take up as much as he has need of; at the rate of one omer for every person, let every man take as much as is needed for his family.

bbe@Exodus:16:17 @And the children of Israel did so, and some took more and some less.

bbe@Exodus:16:18 @And when it was measured, he who had taken up much had nothing over, and he who had little had enough; every man had taken what he was able to make use of.

bbe@Exodus:16:20 @But they gave no attention to Moses, and some of them kept it till the morning and there were worms in it and it had an evil smell: and Moses was angry with them.

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

bbe@Exodus:16:24 @And they kept it till the morning as Moses had said: and no smell came from it, and it had no worms.

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

bbe@Exodus:16:27 @But still on the seventh day some of the people went out to get it, and there was not any.

bbe@Exodus:16:31 @And this bread was named manna by Israel: it was white, like a grain seed, and its taste was like cakes made with honey.

bbe@Exodus:16:32 @And Moses said, This is the order which the Lord has given: Let one omer of it be kept for future generations, so that they may see the bread which I gave you for your food in the waste land, when I took you out from the land of Egypt.

bbe@Exodus:16:33 @And Moses said to Aaron, Take a pot and put one omer of manna in it, and put it away before the Lord, to be kept for future generations.

bbe@Exodus:16:35 @And the children of Israel had manna for their food for forty years, till they came to a land with people in it, till they came to the edge of the land of Canaan.

bbe@Exodus:16:36 @Now an omer is the tenth part of an ephah.

bbe@Exodus:17:2 @So the people were angry with Moses, and said, Give us water for drinking. And Moses said, Why are you angry with me? and why do you put God to the test?

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

bbe@Exodus:17:5 @And the Lord said to Moses, Go on before the people, and take some of the chiefs of Israel with you, and take in your hand the rod which was stretched out over the Nile, and go.

bbe@Exodus:17:6 @See, I will take my place before you on the rock in Horeb; and when you give the rock a blow, water will come out of it, and the people will have drink. And Moses did so before the eyes of the chiefs of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:17:7 @And he gave that place the name Massah and Meribah, because the children of Israel were angry, and because they put the Lord to the test, saying, Is the Lord with us or not?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:18:3 @And her two sons, one of whom was named Gershom, for he said, I have been living in a strange land:

bbe@Exodus:18:5 @And Jethro, Moses' father-in-law, came with his sons and his wife to where Moses had put up his tent in the waste land, by the mountain of God.

bbe@Exodus:18:6 @And he said to Moses, I, your father-in-law, have come to you, with your wife and your two sons.

bbe@Exodus:18:7 @And Moses went out to his father-in-law, and went down on his face before him and gave him a kiss; and they said to one another, Are you well? and they came into the tent.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:18:15 @And Moses said to his father-in-law, Because the people come to me to get directions from God:

bbe@Exodus:18:16 @And if they have any question between themselves, they come to me, and I am judge between a man and his neighbour, and I give them the orders and laws of God.

bbe@Exodus:18:21 @But for the rest, take from among the people able men, such as have the fear of God, true men hating profits wrongly made; and put such men over them, to be captains of thousands, captains of hundreds and of fifties and of tens;

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:19:1 @In the third month after the children of Israel went out from Egypt, on the same day, they came into the waste land of Sinai.

bbe@Exodus:19:2 @And when they had gone away from Rephidim and had come into the waste land of Sinai, they put up their tents in the waste land before the mountain: there Israel put up its tents.

bbe@Exodus:19:3 @And Moses went up to God, and the voice of the Lord came to him from the mountain, saying, Say to the family of Jacob, and give word to the children of Israel:

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

bbe@Exodus:19:6 @And you will be a kingdom of priests to me, and a holy nation. These are the words which you are to say to the children of Israel.

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

bbe@Exodus:19:9 @And the Lord said to Moses, See, I will come to you in a thick cloud, so that what I say to you may come to the ears of the people and they may have belief in you for ever. And Moses gave the Lord word of what the people had said.

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

bbe@Exodus:19:12 @And let limits be marked out for the people round the mountain, and say to them, Take care not to go up the mountain or near the sides of it: whoever puts his foot on the mountain will certainly come to his death:

bbe@Exodus:19:13 @He is not to be touched by a hand, but is to be stoned or have an arrow put through him; man or beast, he is to be put to death: at the long sounding of a horn they may come up to the mountain.

bbe@Exodus:19:15 @And he said to the people, Be ready by the third day: do not come near a woman.

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

bbe@Exodus:19:17 @And Moses made the people come out of their tents and take their places before God; and they came to the foot of the mountain,

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

bbe@Exodus:19:19 @And when the sound of the horn became louder and louder, Moses' words were answered by the voice of God.

bbe@Exodus:19:20 @Then the Lord came down on to Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain, and the Lord sent for Moses to come up to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up.

bbe@Exodus:19:21 @And the Lord said to Moses, Go down and give the people orders to keep back, for fear that a great number of them, forcing their way through to see the Lord, may come to destruction.

bbe@Exodus:19:22 @And let the priests who come near to the Lord make themselves holy, for fear that the Lord may come on them suddenly.

bbe@Exodus:19:23 @And Moses said to the Lord, The people will not be able to come up the mountain, for you gave us orders to put limits round the mountain, marking it out and making it holy.

bbe@Exodus:19:24 @And the Lord said to him, Go down, and you and Aaron may come up; but let not the priests and the people make their way through to the Lord, or he will come on them suddenly.

bbe@Exodus:20:3 @You are to have no other gods but me.

bbe@Exodus:20:5 @You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;

bbe@Exodus:20:6 @And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.

bbe@Exodus:20:7 @You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged a sinner by the Lord

bbe@Exodus:20:8 @Keep in memory the Sabbath and let it be a holy day.

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

bbe@Exodus:20:19 @And they said to Moses, To your words we will give ear, but let not the voice of God come to our ears, for fear death may come on us.

bbe@Exodus:20:20 @And Moses said to the people, Have no fear: for God has come to put you to the test, so that fearing him you may be kept from sin.

bbe@Exodus:20:22 @And the Lord said to Moses, Say to the children of Israel, You yourselves have seen that my voice has come to you from heaven

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

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

bbe@Exodus:21:2 @If you get a Hebrew servant for money, he is to be your servant for six years, and in the seventh year you are to let him go free without payment.

bbe@Exodus:21:3 @If he comes to you by himself, let him go away by himself: if he is married, let his wife go away with him.

bbe@Exodus:21:5 @But if the servant says clearly, My master and my wife and children are dear to me; I have no desire to be free:

bbe@Exodus:21:6 @Then his master is to take him to the gods of the house, and at the door, or at its framework, he is to make a hole in his ear with a sharp-pointed instrument; and he will be his servant for ever.

bbe@Exodus:21:7 @And if a man gives his daughter for a price to be a servant, she is not to go away free as the men-servants do.

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

bbe@Exodus:21:11 @And if he does not do these three things for her, she has the right to go free without payment.

bbe@Exodus:21:19 @If he is able to get up again and go about with a stick, the other will be let off; only he will have to give him payment for the loss of his time, and see that he is cared for till he is well.

bbe@Exodus:21:20 @If a man gives his man-servant or his woman-servant blows with a rod, causing death, he is certainly to undergo punishment.

bbe@Exodus:21:21 @But, at the same time, if the servant goes on living for a day or two, the master is not to get punishment, for the servant is his property.

bbe@Exodus:21:22 @If men, while fighting, do damage to a woman with child, causing the loss of the child, but no other evil comes to her, the man will have to make payment up to the amount fixed by her husband, in agreement with the decision of the judges.

bbe@Exodus:21:23 @But if damage comes to her, let life be given in payment for life,

bbe@Exodus:21:28 @If an ox comes to be the cause of death to a man or a woman, the ox is to be stoned, and its flesh may not be used for food; but the owner will not be judged responsible.

bbe@Exodus:21:30 @If a price is put on his life, let him make payment of whatever price is fixed.

bbe@Exodus:21:31 @If the death of a son or of a daughter has been caused, the punishment is to be in agreement with this rule.

bbe@Exodus:21:33 @If a man makes a hole in the earth without covering it up, and an ox or an ass dropping into it comes to its death;

bbe@Exodus:21:34 @The owner of the hole is responsible; he will have to make payment to their owner, but the dead beast will be his.

bbe@Exodus:22:1 @If a man takes without right another man's ox or his sheep, and puts it to death or gets a price for it, he is to give five oxen for an ox, or four sheep for a sheep, in payment: the thief will have to make payment for what he has taken; if he has no money, he himself will have to be exchanged for money, so that payment may be made.

bbe@Exodus:22:6 @If there is a fire and the flames get to the thorns at the edge of the field, causing destruction of the cut grain or of the living grain, or of the field, he who made the fire will have to make up for the damage.

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

bbe@Exodus:22:8 @If they do not get the thief, let the master of the house come before the judges and take an oath that he has not put his hand on his neighbour's goods.

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

bbe@Exodus:22:10 @If a man puts an ass or an ox or a sheep or any beast into the keeping of his neighbour, and it comes to death or is damaged or is taken away, without any person seeing it:

bbe@Exodus:22:11 @If he takes his oath before the Lord that he has not put his hand to his neighbour's goods, the owner is to take his word for it and he will not have to make payment for it.

bbe@Exodus:22:13 @But if it has been damaged by a beast, and he is able to make this clear, he will not have to make payment for what was damaged.

bbe@Exodus:22:14 @If a man gets from his neighbour the use of one of his beasts, and it is damaged or put to death when the owner is not with it, he will certainly have to make payment for the loss.

bbe@Exodus:22:15 @If the owner is with it, he will not have to make payment: if he gave money for the use of it, the loss is covered by the payment.

bbe@Exodus:22:17 @If her father will not give her to him on any account, he will have to give the regular payment for virgins.

bbe@Exodus:22:20 @Complete destruction will come on any man who makes offerings to any other god but the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:22:23 @If you are cruel to them in any way, and their cry comes up to me, I will certainly give ear;

bbe@Exodus:22:27 @For it is the only thing he has for covering his skin; what is he to go to sleep in? and when his cry comes up to me, I will give ear, for my mercy is great.

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

bbe@Exodus:22:30 @In the same way with your oxen and your sheep: for seven days let the young one be with its mother; on the eighth day give it to me.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:23:4 @If you come across the ox or the ass of one who is no friend to you wandering from its way, you are to take it back to him.

bbe@Exodus:23:5 @If you see the ass of one who has no love for you bent down to the earth under the weight which is put on it, you are to come to its help, even against your desire.

bbe@Exodus:23:11 @But in the seventh year let the land have a rest and be unplanted; so that the poor may have food from it: and let the beasts of the field take the rest. Do the same with your vine-gardens and your olive-trees.

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

bbe@Exodus:23:14 @Three times in the year you are to keep a feast to me.

bbe@Exodus:23:15 @You are to keep the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days let your bread be without leaven, as I gave you orders, at the regular time in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt); and let no one come before me without an offering:

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

bbe@Exodus:23:21 @Give attention to him and give ear to his voice; do not go against him; for your wrongdoing will not be overlooked by him, because my name is in him.

bbe@Exodus:23:24 @Do not go down on your faces and give worship to their gods, or do as they do; but overcome them completely, and let their pillars be broken down.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:23:32 @Make no agreement with them or with their gods.

bbe@Exodus:23:33 @Let them not go on living in your land, or they will make you do evil against me: for if you give worship to their gods, it will certainly be a cause of sin to you.

bbe@Exodus:24:1 @And he said to Moses, Come up to the Lord, you and Aaron, and Nadab and Abihu and seventy of the chiefs of Israel; and give me worship from a distance.

bbe@Exodus:24:2 @And Moses only may come near to the Lord; but the others are not to come near, and the people may not come up with them.

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

bbe@Exodus:24:5 @And he sent some of the young men of the children of Israel to make burned offerings and peace-offerings of oxen to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:24:7 @And he took the book of the agreement, reading it in the hearing of the people: and they said, Everything which the Lord has said we will do, and we will keep his laws.

bbe@Exodus:24:8 @Then Moses took the blood and let it come on the people, and said, This blood is the sign of the agreement which the Lord has made with you in these words.

bbe@Exodus:24:10 @And they saw the God of Israel; and under his feet there was, as it seemed, a jewelled floor, clear as the heavens.

bbe@Exodus:24:12 @And the Lord said to Moses, Come up to me on the mountain, and take your place there: and I will give you the stones on which I have put in writing the law and the orders, so that you may give the people knowledge of them.

bbe@Exodus:24:14 @And he said to the chiefs, Keep your places here till we come back to you: Aaron and Hur are with you; if anyone has any cause let him go to them.

bbe@Exodus:24:16 @And the glory of the Lord was resting on Mount Sinai, and the cloud was over it for six days; and on the seventh day he said Moses' name out of the cloud.

bbe@Exodus:24:17 @And the glory of the Lord was like a flame on the top of the mountain before the eyes of the children of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:25:2 @Say to the children of Israel that they are to make me an offering; from every man who has the impulse in his heart take an offering for me.

bbe@Exodus:25:6 @Oil for the light, spices for the sweet-smelling oil, sweet perfumes for burning;

bbe@Exodus:25:8 @And let them make me a holy place, so that I may be ever present among them.

bbe@Exodus:25:13 @And make rods of the same wood, plating them with gold.

bbe@Exodus:25:18 @And at the two ends of the cover you are to make two winged ones of hammered gold,

bbe@Exodus:25:22 @And there, between the two winged ones on the cover of the ark, I will come to you, face to face, and make clear to you all the orders I have to give you for the children of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:25:23 @And you are to make a table of the same wood, two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high,

bbe@Exodus:25:25 @And make a frame all round it, as wide as a man's hand, with a gold edge to the frame.

bbe@Exodus:25:27 @The rings are to be fixed under the frame to take the rods with which the table is to be lifted.

bbe@Exodus:25:28 @Make rods of the same wood, plated with gold, for lifting the table.

bbe@Exodus:25:30 @And on the table at all times you are to keep my holy bread.

bbe@Exodus:25:31 @And you are to make a support for lights, of the best gold; its base and its pillar are to be of hammered gold; its cups, its buds, and its flowers are to be made of the same metal.

bbe@Exodus:25:36 @The buds and the branches are to be made of the same metal; all together one complete work of hammered gold.

bbe@Exodus:25:38 @And the instruments and trays for use with it are all to be of the best gold.

bbe@Exodus:26:1 @And you are to make a House for me, with ten curtains of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with designs of winged ones by a good workman.

bbe@Exodus:26:2 @Every curtain is to be twenty-eight cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

bbe@Exodus:26:8 @Every curtain is to be thirty cubits long and four cubits wide, all of the same measure.

bbe@Exodus:26:26 @And make rods of the same wood, five for the boards on the one side,

bbe@Exodus:27:2 @Put horns at the four angles of it, made of the same, plating it all with brass.

bbe@Exodus:27:3 @And make all its vessels, the baskets for taking away the dust of the fire, the spades and basins and meat-hooks and fire-trays, of brass.

bbe@Exodus:27:5 @And put the network under the shelf round the altar so that the net comes half-way up the altar.

bbe@Exodus:27:11 @And on the north side in the same way, hangings a hundred cubits long, with twenty pillars of brass on bases of brass; their hooks and their bands are to be of silver.

bbe@Exodus:27:19 @All the instruments for the work of the House, and all its nails, and the nails of the open space are to be of brass.

bbe@Exodus:27:20 @Give orders to the children of Israel to give you clear olive oil for the lights, so that a light may be burning there at all times.

bbe@Exodus:27:21 @Let Aaron and his sons put this in order, evening and morning, before the Lord, inside the Tent of meeting, outside the veil which is before the ark; this is to be an order for ever, from generation to generation, to be kept by the children of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:28:1 @Now let Aaron your brother, and his sons with him, come near from among the children of Israel, so that they may be my priests, even Aaron, and Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar, and Ithamar, his sons.

bbe@Exodus:28:3 @Give orders to all the wise-hearted workmen, whom I have made full of the spirit of wisdom, to make robes for Aaron, so that he may be made holy as my priest.

bbe@Exodus:28:4 @This is what they are to make: a priest's bag, an ephod, and a robe, and a coat of coloured needlework, a head-dress, and a linen band; they are to make holy robes for Aaron your brother and for his sons, so that they may do the work of priests for me.

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

bbe@Exodus:28:9 @You are to take two beryl stones, on which the names of the children of Israel are to be cut:

bbe@Exodus:28:10 @Six names on the one stone and six on the other, in the order of their birth.

bbe@Exodus:28:11 @With the work of a jeweller, like the cutting of a stamp, the names of the children of Israel are to be cut on them, and they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.

bbe@Exodus:28:12 @And the two stones are to be placed on the ephod, over the arm-holes, to be stones of memory for the children of Israel: Aaron will have their names on his arms when he goes in before the Lord, to keep the Lord in mind of them.

bbe@Exodus:28:13 @And you are to make twisted frames of gold;

bbe@Exodus:28:14 @And two chains of the best gold, twisted like cords; and have the chains fixed on to the frames.

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

bbe@Exodus:28:19 @The third, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

bbe@Exodus:28:20 @The fourth, a topaz, a beryl, and a jasper; they are to be fixed in twisted frames of gold.

bbe@Exodus:28:21 @The jewels are to be twelve in number, for the names of the children of Israel; every jewel having the name of one of the twelve tribes cut on it as on a stamp.

bbe@Exodus:28:25 @Joining the other ends of the chains to the gold frames and putting them on the front of the ephod, at the top of the arms.

bbe@Exodus:28:28 @So that the rings on the bag may be fixed to the rings of the ephod by a blue cord and on to the band of the ephod, so that the bag may not come loose from the ephod.

bbe@Exodus:28:29 @And so Aaron will have the names of the children of Israel on the priest's bag over his heart whenever he goes into the holy place, to keep the memory of them before the Lord.

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

bbe@Exodus:28:35 @Aaron is to put it on for his holy work; and the sound of it will be clear, when he goes into the holy place before the Lord, and when he comes out, keeping him safe from death.

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

bbe@Exodus:28:41 @These you are to put on Aaron, your brother, and on his sons, putting oil on them, separating them and making them holy, to do the work of priests to me.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:29:4 @And let Aaron and his sons come to the door of the Tent of meeting, and there let them be washed with water.

bbe@Exodus:29:9 @And put the linen bands round Aaron and his sons, and the head-dresses on them, to make them priests by my order for ever: so you are to make Aaron and his sons holy to me.

bbe@Exodus:29:10 @Then let the ox be taken in front of the Tent of meeting: and let Aaron and his sons put their hands on its head.

bbe@Exodus:29:11 @And you are to put the ox to death before the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting.

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:29:30 @For seven days the son who becomes priest in his place will put them on when he comes into the Tent of meeting to do the work of the holy place.

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:29:43 @There I will come face to face with the children of Israel, and the Tent will be made holy by my glory

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:30:5 @And make these rods of the same wood, plating them with gold.

bbe@Exodus:30:6 @And let it be placed in front of the veil before the ark of the law, before the cover which is over the law, where I will come face to face with you.

bbe@Exodus:30:8 @And every evening, when he puts the lights up in their places, the spices are to be burned, a sweet-smelling smoke going up before the Lord from generation to generation for ever.

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

bbe@Exodus:30:12 @When you are taking the number of the children of Israel, let every man who is numbered give to the Lord a price for his life, so that no disease may come on them when they are numbered.

bbe@Exodus:30:16 @And you are to take this money from the children of Israel to be used for the work of the Tent of meeting, to keep the memory of the children of Israel before the Lord and to be the price of your lives.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:30:25 @And make these into a holy oil, a perfume made by the art of the perfume-maker; it is to be a holy oil.

bbe@Exodus:30:26 @This oil is to be put on the Tent of meeting, and on the ark of the law,

bbe@Exodus:30:29 @And you are to make them most holy; anything touching them will become holy.

bbe@Exodus:30:30 @And put the oil on Aaron and his sons, making them holy to do the work of priests to me.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:30:37 @You are not to make any perfume like it for yourselves: it is to be kept holy to the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:30:38 @Whoever makes any like it, for its sweet smell, will be cut off from his people.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:31:11 @And the holy oil, and the perfume of sweet spices for the holy place; they will do whatever I have given you orders to have done.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:31:17 @It is a sign between me and the children of Israel for ever; because in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day he took his rest and had pleasure in it.

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

bbe@Exodus:32:2 @Then Aaron said to them, Take off the gold rings which are in the ears of your wives and your sons and your daughters, and give them to me.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:32:14 @So the Lord let himself be turned from his purpose of sending punishment on his people.

bbe@Exodus:32:15 @Then Moses came down the mountain with the two stones of the law in his hand; the stones had writing on their two sides, on the front and on the back.

bbe@Exodus:32:17 @Now when the noise and the voices of the people came to the ears of Joshua, he said to Moses, There is a noise of war in the tents.

bbe@Exodus:32:18 @And Moses said, It is not the voice of men who are overcoming in the fight, or the cry of those who have been overcome; it is the sound of songs which comes to my ear.

bbe@Exodus:32:19 @And when he came near the tents he saw the image of the ox, and the people dancing; and in his wrath Moses let the stones go from his hands, and they were broken at the foot of the mountain.

bbe@Exodus:32:21 @And Moses said to Aaron, What did the people do to you that you let this great sin come on them?

bbe@Exodus:32:23 @For they said to me, Make us a god to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us up out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has come to him

bbe@Exodus:32:24 @Then I said to them, Whoever has any gold, let him take it off; so they gave it to me, and I put it in the fire, and this image of an ox came out.

bbe@Exodus:32:25 @And Moses saw that the people were out of control, for Aaron had let them loose to their shame before their haters:

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

bbe@Exodus:32:32 @But now, if you will give them forgiveness--but if not, let my name be taken out of your book.

bbe@Exodus:32:33 @And the Lord said to Moses, Whoever has done evil against me will be taken out of my book.

bbe@Exodus:32:34 @But now, go, take the people into that place of which I have given you word; see, my angel will go before you: but when the time of my judging has come, I will send punishment on them for their sin.

bbe@Exodus:32:35 @And the Lord sent punishment on the people because they gave worship to the ox which Aaron made.

bbe@Exodus:33:4 @Hearing this bad news the people were full of grief, and no one put on his ornaments.

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

bbe@Exodus:33:6 @So the children of Israel took off their ornaments at Mount Horeb, and did not put them on again.

bbe@Exodus:33:7 @Now it was Moses' way to put up the Tent of meeting outside the tent-circle, at some distance away; giving it the name of The Tent of meeting. And everyone desiring to make his prayer to the Lord went to the Tent of meeting outside the tent-circle.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:33:12 @And Moses said to the Lord, See, you say to me, Be this people's guide on their journey, but you have not made clear to me whom you will send with me. But you have said, I have knowledge of you by name, and you have grace in my eyes.

bbe@Exodus:33:13 @If then I have grace in your eyes, let me see your ways, so that I may have knowledge of you and be certain of your grace; and my prayer is that you will keep in mind that this nation is your people.

bbe@Exodus:33:17 @And the Lord said to Moses, I will do as you say: for you have grace in my eyes, and I have knowledge of you by your name.

bbe@Exodus:33:18 @And Moses said, O Lord, let me see your glory.

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

bbe@Exodus:33:20 @But it is not possible for you to see my face, for no man may see me and still go on living.

bbe@Exodus:33:21 @And the Lord said, See, there is a place near me, and you may take your place on the rock:

bbe@Exodus:34:2 @And be ready by the morning, and come up on Mount Sinai, and come before me there in the morning, on the top of the mountain.

bbe@Exodus:34:3 @No one is to come up with you, and let no man be seen anywhere on the mountain; let no flocks or herds come near to get their food at its foot.

bbe@Exodus:34:5 @And the Lord came down in the cloud and took his place by the side of Moses, and Moses gave worship to the name of the Lord.

bbe@Exodus:34:6 @And the Lord went past before his eyes, saying, The Lord, the Lord, a God full of pity and grace, slow to wrath and great in mercy and faith;

bbe@Exodus:34:7 @Having mercy on thousands, overlooking evil and wrongdoing and sin; he will not let wrongdoers go free, but will send punishment on children for the sins of their fathers, and on their children's children to the third and fourth generation.

bbe@Exodus:34:12 @But take care, and do not make any agreement with the people of the land where you are going, for it will be a cause of sin to you.

bbe@Exodus:34:15 @So see that you make no agreement with the people of the land, and do not go after their gods, or take part in their offerings, or be guests at their feasts,

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

bbe@Exodus:34:18 @Keep the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days your food is to be bread without leaven, as I gave you orders, at the regular time in the month Abib; for in that month you came out of Egypt.

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

bbe@Exodus:34:21 @Six days let work be done, but on the seventh day take your rest: at ploughing time and at the grain-cutting you are to have a day for rest.

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

bbe@Exodus:34:24 @For I will send out the nations before you and make wide the limits of your land; and no man will make an attempt to take your land while you go up to give worship to the Lord, three times in the year.

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

bbe@Exodus:34:28 @And for forty days and forty nights Moses was there with the Lord, and in that time he had no food or drink. And he put in writing on the stones the words of the agreement, the ten rules of the law.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:35:8 @And oil for the lights, and spices for the holy oil and for the sweet perfumes for burning.

bbe@Exodus:35:10 @And let every wise-hearted man among you come and make whatever has been ordered by the Lord;

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

bbe@Exodus:35:21 @And everyone whose heart was moved, everyone who was guided by the impulse of his spirit, came with his offering for the Lord, for whatever was needed for the Tent of meeting and its work and for the holy robes.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:35:26 @And those women who had the knowledge, made the goats' hair into cloth.

bbe@Exodus:35:28 @And the spice and the oil for the light, and the holy oil and the sweet perfumes.

bbe@Exodus:35:33 @Trained in the cutting of stones and the ornamenting of wood and in every sort of handwork.

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:36:11 @And they put twists of blue cord on the edge of the outside curtain of the first group, and in the same way on the outside curtain of the second group.

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

bbe@Exodus:36:35 @And he made the veil of the best linen, blue and purple and red, worked with winged ones designed by expert workmen.

bbe@Exodus:37:4 @And rods of the same wood plated with gold.

bbe@Exodus:37:7 @And he made two winged ones, hammered out of one bit of gold, for the two ends of the cover;

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

bbe@Exodus:37:14 @The rings were fixed under the frame to take the rods with which the table was to be lifted.

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

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:37:28 @The rods he made of the same hard wood, plating them with gold.

bbe@Exodus:37:29 @And he made the holy oil and the perfume of sweet spices for burning, after the art of the perfume-maker.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:38:8 @And he made the washing-vessel of brass on a brass base, using the polished brass looking-glasses given by the women who did work at the doors of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Exodus:38:15 @And the same on the other side of the doorway; on this side and on that the hangings were fifteen cubits long, on three pillars with their three bases.

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

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

bbe@Exodus:39:3 @Hammering the gold into thin plates and cutting it into wires to be worked into the blue and the purple and the red and the linen by the designer.

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

bbe@Exodus:39:6 @Then they made the beryl stones, fixed in twisted frames of gold and cut like the cutting of a stamp, with the names of the children of Israel.

bbe@Exodus:39:7 @These he put on the ephod, over the arm-holes, to be stones of memory for the children of Israel, as the Lord had said to Moses.

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

bbe@Exodus:39:12 @In the third, a jacinth, an agate, and an amethyst;

bbe@Exodus:39:13 @In the fourth, a topaz, a beryl, and a jasper; they were fixed in twisted frames of gold.

bbe@Exodus:39:14 @There were twelve stones for the twelve tribes of Israel; on every one the name of one of the tribes of Israel was cut, like the cutting of a stamp.

bbe@Exodus:39:16 @And they made two gold frames and two gold rings, the rings being fixed to the ends of the priest's bag;

bbe@Exodus:39:18 @And the other two ends of the chains were joined to the two frames and fixed to the front of the ephod over the arm-holes.

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

bbe@Exodus:39:38 @And the gold altar, and the holy oil, and the sweet perfume for burning, and the curtain for the doorway of the tent;

bbe@Exodus:39:40 @The hangings for the open space, with the pillars and their bases, and the curtain for the doorway, and the cords and nails, and all the instruments necessary for the work of the House of the Tent of meeting;

bbe@Exodus:40:2 @On the first day of the first month you are to put up the House of the Tent of meeting.

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

bbe@Exodus:40:6 @And put the altar of burned offerings before the doorway of the House of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Exodus:40:7 @And let the washing-vessel, with water in it, be put between the Tent of meeting and the altar.

bbe@Exodus:40:12 @Then let Aaron and his sons come to the door of the Tent of meeting; and after washing them with water,

bbe@Exodus:40:22 @And he put the table in the Tent of meeting, on the north side outside the veil.

bbe@Exodus:40:24 @The support for the lights he put in the Tent of meeting, opposite the table, on the south side:

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

bbe@Exodus:40:27 @Burning sweet perfumes on it, as the Lord had given him orders.

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

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

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

bbe@Exodus:40:34 @Then the cloud came down covering the Tent of meeting, and the House was full of the glory of the Lord;

bbe@Exodus:40:35 @So that Moses was not able to go into the Tent of meeting, because the cloud was resting on it, and the House was full of the glory of the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:1:1 @And the voice of the Lord came to Moses out of the Tent of meeting, saying,

bbe@Leviticus:1:3 @If the offering is a burned offering of the herd, let him give a male without a mark: he is to give it at the door of the Tent of meeting so that he may be pleasing to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:1:5 @And the ox is to be put to death before the Lord: then Aaron's sons, the priests, are to take the blood and put some of it on and round the altar which is at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:1:9 @But its inside parts and its legs are to be washed with water, and it will all be burned on the altar by the priest for a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:1:11 @And he is to put it to death on the north side of the altar before the Lord: and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some of the blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:1:13 @But the inside parts and the legs are to be washed with water; and the priest will make an offering of all of it, burning it on the altar: it is a burned offering, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:1:17 @And let it be broken open at the wings, but not cut in two; and let it be burned on the altar by the priest on the wood which is on the fire; it is a burned offering; an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:2:1 @And when anyone makes a meal offering to the Lord, let his offering be of the best meal, with oil on it and perfume:

bbe@Leviticus:2:2 @And let him take it to Aaron's sons, the priests; and having taken in his hand some of the meal and of the oil, with all the perfume, let him give it to the priest to be burned on the altar, as a sign, an offering made by fire, for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:2:3 @And the rest of the meal offering will be for Aaron and his sons; it is most holy among the Lord's fire offerings.

bbe@Leviticus:2:4 @And when you give a meal offering cooked in the oven, let it be of unleavened cakes of the best meal mixed with oil, or thin unleavened cakes covered with oil.

bbe@Leviticus:2:5 @And if you give a meal offering cooked on a flat plate, let it be of the best meal, unleavened and mixed with oil.

bbe@Leviticus:2:6 @Let it be broken into bits, and put oil on it; it is a meal offering.

bbe@Leviticus:2:7 @And if your offering is of meal cooked in fat over the fire, let it be made of the best meal mixed with oil.

bbe@Leviticus:2:8 @And you are to give the meal offering made of these things to the Lord, and let the priest take it to the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:2:9 @And he is to take from the meal offering a part, for a sign, burning it on the altar; an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:2:10 @And the rest of the meal offering will be for Aaron and his sons; it is most holy among the Lord's fire offerings.

bbe@Leviticus:2:11 @No meal offering which you give to the Lord is to be made with leaven; no leaven or honey is to be burned as an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:2:12 @You may give them as an offering of first-fruits to the Lord, but they are not to go up as a sweet smell on the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:2:13 @And every meal offering is to be salted with salt; your meal offering is not to be without the salt of the agreement of your God: with all your offerings give salt.

bbe@Leviticus:2:14 @And if you give a meal offering of first-fruits to the Lord, give, as your offering of first-fruits, new grain, made dry with fire, crushed new grain.

bbe@Leviticus:2:15 @And put oil on it and perfume: it is a meal offering.

bbe@Leviticus:2:16 @And part of the meal of the offering and part of the oil and all the perfume is to be burned for a sign by the priest: it is an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:3:2 @And he is to put his hand on the head of his offering and put it to death at the door of the Tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons, the priests, are to put some of the blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:3:5 @That it may be burned by Aaron's sons on the altar, on the burned offering which is on the wood on the fire: it is an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:3:8 @And he is to put his hand on the head of his offering and put it to death before the Tent of meeting; and Aaron's sons are to put some of its blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:3:13 @And let him put his hand on the head of it and put it to death before the Tent of meeting; and the sons of Aaron are to put some of its blood on and round the altar.

bbe@Leviticus:3:16 @That it may be burned by the priest on the altar; it is the food of the offering made by fire for a sweet smell: all the fat is the Lord's.

bbe@Leviticus:4:3 @If the chief priest by doing wrong becomes a cause of sin to the people, then let him give to the Lord for the sin which he has done, an ox, without any mark, for a sin-offering.

bbe@Leviticus:4:4 @And he is to take the ox to the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord; and put his hand on its head and put it to death before the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:4:5 @And the chief priest is to take some of its blood and take it to the Tent of meeting;

bbe@Leviticus:4:6 @And the priest is to put his finger in the blood, shaking drops of it before the Lord seven times, in front of the veil of the holy place.

bbe@Leviticus:4:7 @And the priest is to put some of the blood on the horns of the altar on which perfume is burned before the Lord in the Tent of meeting, draining out all the rest of the blood of the ox at the base of the altar of burned offering which is at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:4:13 @And if all the people of Israel do wrong, without anyone's knowledge; if they have done any of the things which by the Lord's order are not to be done, causing sin to come on them;

bbe@Leviticus:4:34 @And the priest is to take some of the blood of the offering with his finger and put it on the horns of the altar of burned offering, and all the rest of the blood is to be drained out at the base of the altar;

bbe@Leviticus:5:1 @And if anyone does wrong by saying nothing when he is put under oath as a witness of something he has seen or had knowledge of, then he will be responsible:

bbe@Leviticus:5:2 @If anyone becomes unclean through touching unconsciously some unclean thing, such as the dead body of an unclean beast or of unclean cattle or of any unclean animal which goes flat on the earth, he will be responsible:

bbe@Leviticus:5:3 @Or if he becomes unclean through touching unconsciously any unclean thing of man, whatever it may be, when it is made clear to him he will be responsible:

bbe@Leviticus:5:4 @Or if anyone, without thought, takes an oath to do evil or to do good, whatever he says without thought, with an oath, having no knowledge of what he is doing; when it becomes clear to him, he will be responsible for any of these things.

bbe@Leviticus:5:5 @And whoever is responsible for any such sin, let him make a statement openly of his wrongdoing;

bbe@Leviticus:5:10 @And the second is for a burned offering, in agreement with the law; and the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness.

bbe@Leviticus:5:11 @But if he has not enough money for two doves or two young pigeons, then let him give, for the sin he has done, the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal, for a sin-offering; let him put no oil on it, and no perfume, for it is a sin-offering.

bbe@Leviticus:5:12 @And let him come to the priest with it, and the priest will take some of it in his hand, to be burned on the altar as a sign, among the offerings of the Lord made by fire: it is a sin-offering

bbe@Leviticus:5:13 @And the priest will take away his sin and he will have forgiveness: and the rest of the offering will be the priest's, in the same way as the meal offering.

bbe@Leviticus:5:16 @And he is to make payment to the priest for what he has done wrong in relation to the holy thing, together with a fifth part of its value in addition; and the priest will take away his sin by the sheep of his offering, and he will have forgiveness.

bbe@Leviticus:5:18 @Let him come to the priest with a sheep, a male without any mark out of the flock, of the value fixed by you, as an offering for his error; and the priest will take away the sin which he did in error, and he will have forgiveness.

bbe@Leviticus:6:2 @If anyone does wrong, and is untrue to the Lord, acting falsely to his neighbour in connection with something put in his care, or something given for a debt, or has taken away anything by force, or has been cruel to his neighbour,

bbe@Leviticus:6:3 @Or has taken a false oath about the loss of something which he has come across by chance; if a man has done any of these evil things,

bbe@Leviticus:6:4 @Causing sin to come on him, then he will have to give back the thing he took by force or got by cruel acts, or the goods which were put in his care or the thing he came on by chance,

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

bbe@Leviticus:6:14 @And this is the law for the meal offering: it is to be offered to the Lord before the altar by the sons of Aaron

bbe@Leviticus:6:15 @The priest is to take in his hand some of the meal of the meal offering and of the oil of it, and all the perfume on it, burning it on the altar as a sign, for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:6:16 @And whatever is over Aaron and his sons may have for their food, taking it without leaven in a holy place; in the open space of the Tent of meeting they may take a meal of it.

bbe@Leviticus:6:17 @It is not to be cooked with leaven. I have given it to them as their part of the offerings made by fire to me; it is most holy, as are the sin-offerings and the offerings for error.

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

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

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:6:25 @Say to Aaron and his sons, This is the law for the sin-offering: the sin-offering is to be put to death before the Lord in the same place as the burned offering; it is most holy.

bbe@Leviticus:6:26 @The priest by whom it is offered for sin, is to take it for his food in a holy place, in the open space of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:6:30 @No sin-offering, the blood of which is taken into the Tent of meeting, to take away sin in the holy place, may be used for food: it is to be burned with fire.

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:7:25 @For anyone who takes as food the fat of any beast of which men make an offering by fire to the Lord, will be cut off from his people.

bbe@Leviticus:7:37 @These are the laws for the burned offering, the meal offering, and the offering for wrongdoing; and for the making of priests, and for the giving of peace-offerings;

bbe@Leviticus:8:3 @And let all the people come together at the door of the Tent of meeting.

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:8:12 @And some of the oil he put on Aaron's head, to make him holy.

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:8:23 @And he put it to death; and Moses took some of the blood and put it on the point of Aaron's right ear and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot.

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

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:8:31 @And Moses said to Aaron and to his sons, The flesh is to be cooked in water at the door of the Tent of meeting, and there you are to take it as food, together with the bread in the basket, as I have given orders, saying, It is the food of Aaron and his sons.

bbe@Leviticus:8:33 @And you are not to go out from the door of the Tent of meeting for seven days, till the days for making you priest are ended; for this will be the work of seven days.

bbe@Leviticus:8:35 @And you are to keep watch for the Lord at the door of the Tent of meeting day and night for seven days, so that death may not come to you: for so he has given me orders.

bbe@Leviticus:9:1 @And on the eighth day Moses sent for Aaron and his sons and the responsible men of Israel;

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:9:15 @And he made an offering for the people and took the goat of the sin-offering for the people and put it to death, offering it for sin, in the same way as the first.

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:9:22 @And Aaron, lifting up his hands to the people, gave them a blessing; and he came down from offering the sin-offering, and the burned offering, and the peace-offerings.

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:10:1 @And Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, took their vessels and put fire in them and perfume, burning strange fire before the Lord, which he had not given them orders to do.

bbe@Leviticus:10:2 @And fire came out from before the Lord, burning them up and causing their destruction before the Lord.

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

bbe@Leviticus:10:4 @And Moses sent for Mishael and Elzaphan, the sons of Uzziel, the brother of Aaron's father, and said to them, Come near and take your brothers away from before the holy place, outside the tent-circle.

bbe@Leviticus:10:5 @So they came and took them, in their coats, outside the tent-circle, as Moses had said.

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

bbe@Leviticus:10:7 @And do not go out from the door of the Tent of meeting, or death will come to you; for the holy oil of the Lord is on you. And they did as Moses said.

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

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:10:19 @And Aaron said to Moses, You have seen that today they have made their sin-offering and their burned offering before the Lord, and such things as these have come on me. If I had taken the sin-offering as food today, would it have been pleasing to the Lord?

bbe@Leviticus:11:3 @You may have as food any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot, and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again.

bbe@Leviticus:11:4 @But, at the same time, of those beasts, you may not take for food the camel, because its food comes back but the horn of its foot is not parted in two; it is unclean to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:5 @And the rock-badger, for the same reason, is unclean to you.

bbe@Leviticus:11:7 @And the pig is unclean to you, because though the horn of its foot is parted, its food does not come back.

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

bbe@Leviticus:11:26 @Every beast, in the horn of whose foot there is not a complete division, and whose food does not come back, is unclean to you: anyone touching one of these will be unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:11:30 @And the ferret and the land crocodile and the lizard and the sand-lizard and the chameleon.

bbe@Leviticus:11:34 @Any food in it, and anything on which water from it comes, will be unclean: any drink taken from such a vessel will be unclean.

bbe@Leviticus:11:36 @But at the same time a fountain or a place where water is stored for use will be clean; but anyone touching their dead bodies will be unclean.

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

bbe@Leviticus:11:43 @You are not to make yourselves disgusting with anything which goes about flat on the earth; you may not make yourselves unclean with them, in such a way that you are not holy to me.

bbe@Leviticus:12:4 @And she will be unclean for thirty-three days till the flow of her blood is stopped; no holy thing may be touched by her, and she may not come into the holy place, till the days for making her clean are ended.

bbe@Leviticus:12:6 @And when the days are ended for making her clean for a son or a daughter, let her take to the priest at the door of the Tent of meeting, a lamb of the first year for a burned offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin-offering:

bbe@Leviticus:13:2 @If a man has on his skin a growth or a mark or a white place, and it becomes the disease of a leper, let him be taken to Aaron the priest, or to one of the priests, his sons;

bbe@Leviticus:13:5 @And the priest is to see him on the seventh day; and if, in his opinion, the place on his skin has not become worse and is not increased in size, then the priest will keep him shut up for seven days more:

bbe@Leviticus:13:12 @And if the disease comes out all over his skin, from his head to his feet, as far as the priest is able to see,

bbe@Leviticus:13:16 @Or if the diseased flesh is turned again and changed to white then he is to come to the priest,

bbe@Leviticus:13:18 @And if a bad place has come out on the skin and is well again,

bbe@Leviticus:13:19 @And on the same place there is a white growth of a bright mark, red and white, then let the priest see it;

bbe@Leviticus:13:20 @And after looking at it, if it seems to go deeper than the skin, and the hair on it is turned white, then the priest will say that the man is unclean: it is the leper's disease, it has come out in the bad place.

bbe@Leviticus:13:23 @But if the bright mark keeps in the same place and gets no greater, it is the mark of the old wound, and the priest will say that he is clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:24 @Or if there is a burn on the skin of the flesh, and if the diseased flesh in the burn becomes a bright place, red and white or white,

bbe@Leviticus:13:25 @The priest is to see it: and if the hair on the bright place is turned white and it seems to go deeper than the skin, he is a leper: it has come out in the burn, and the priest will say that he is unclean: it is the leper's disease.

bbe@Leviticus:13:28 @And if the bright place keeps the same size and gets no greater on the skin, but is less bright, it is the effect of the burn, and the priest will say that he is clean: it is the mark of the burn.

bbe@Leviticus:13:35 @But if the disease in his skin becomes worse after he has been made clean,

bbe@Leviticus:13:37 @But if, in his opinion, the growth is stopped, and black hair has come up on it, the disease has gone; he is clean and the priest will say that he is clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:39 @Then the priest is to see them: and if the white marks on their skin are not very bright, it is a skin disease which has come out on the skin; he is clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:40 @And if a man's hair has come out and he has no hair, still he is clean.

bbe@Leviticus:13:43 @Then if the priest sees that the growth of the disease has become red and white on his head or on his brow where there is no hair, like the mark in the skin of a leper;

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

bbe@Leviticus:14:4 @Then the priest is to give orders to take, for him who is to be made clean, two living clean birds and some cedar wood and red thread and hyssop.

bbe@Leviticus:14:7 @And shaking it seven times over the man who is to be made clean, he will say that he is clean and will let the living bird go free into the open country.

bbe@Leviticus:14:8 @And he who is to be made clean will have his clothing washed and his hair cut and have a bath, and he will be clean. And after that he will come back to the tent-circle; but he is to keep outside his tent for seven days.

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

bbe@Leviticus:14:11 @And the priest who is making him clean will put the man who is being made clean, together with these things, before the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Leviticus:14:14 @And let the priest take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot;

bbe@Leviticus:14:15 @And take some of the oil and put it in the hollow of his left hand;

bbe@Leviticus:14:16 @And let the priest put his right finger in the oil which is in his left hand, shaking it out with his finger seven times before the Lord;

bbe@Leviticus:14:17 @And of the rest of the oil which is in his hand, the priest will put some on the point of the right ear of the man who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot, over the blood of the offering for wrongdoing;

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:14:23 @And on the eighth day he will take them to the priest, to the door of the Tent of meeting before the Lord, so that he may be made clean.

bbe@Leviticus:14:25 @And he will put to death the lamb of the offering for wrongdoing and the priest will take some of the blood of the offering for wrongdoing and put it on the point of the right ear of him who is to be made clean, and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot;

bbe@Leviticus:14:26 @And the priest will put out some of the oil in the hollow of his left hand,

bbe@Leviticus:14:27 @Shaking out drops of oil with his right finger before the Lord seven times:

bbe@Leviticus:14:28 @And the priest will put some of the oil which is in his hand on the point of the ear of the man who is to be made clean and on the thumb of his right hand and on the great toe of his right foot, on the place where the blood of the offering for wrongdoing was put;

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

bbe@Leviticus:14:34 @When you have come into the land of Canaan which I will give you for your heritage, if I put the leper's disease on a house in the land of your heritage,

bbe@Leviticus:14:35 @Then let the owner of the house come and say to the priest, It seems to me that there is a sort of leper's disease in the house.

bbe@Leviticus:14:36 @And the priest will give orders for everything to be taken out of the house, before he goes in to see the disease, so that the things in the house may not become unclean; and then the priest is to go in to see the house;

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:14:46 @And, in addition, anyone who goes into the house at any time, while it is shut up, will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:14:48 @And if the priest comes in, and sees that the disease is not increased after the new paste has been put on the house, then the priest will say that the house is clean, because the disease is gone.

bbe@Leviticus:14:51 @And take the cedar-wood and the hyssop and the red thread and the living bird and put them in the blood of the dead bird and in the flowing water, shaking it over the house seven times.

bbe@Leviticus:15:8 @And if liquid from the mouth of the unclean man comes on to him who is clean, then he is to have his clothing washed and his body bathed in water and be unclean till evening.

bbe@Leviticus:15:24 @And if any man has sex relations with her so that her blood comes on him, he will be unclean for seven days and every bed on which he has been resting will be unclean.

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:17:9 @And does not take it to the door of the Tent of meeting to make an offering to the Lord, that man will be cut off from among his people.

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

bbe@Leviticus:18:17 @You may not take as wife a woman and her daughter, or her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter, for they are of one family: it is an act of shame.

bbe@Leviticus:18:18 @And you may not take as wife a woman and at the same time her sister, to be in competition with her in her life-time.

bbe@Leviticus:18:19 @And you may not go near a woman or have sex relations with her when she is unclean, at her regular time.

bbe@Leviticus:18:21 @And you may not make any of your children go through the fire as an offering to Molech, and you may not put shame on the name of your God: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:18:22 @You may not have sex relations with men, as you do with women: it is a disgusting thing.

bbe@Leviticus:18:25 @And the land itself has become unclean; so that I have sent on it the reward of its wrongdoing, and the land itself puts out those who are living in it.

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:19:6 @Let it be used for food on the same day on which it is offered, or on the day after; and whatever is over on the third day is to be burned with fire.

bbe@Leviticus:19:8 @And as for anyone who takes it for food, his sin will be on him, for he has put shame on the holy thing of the Lord: he will be cut off from his people.

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

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

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:19:29 @Do not make your daughter common by letting her become a loose woman, for fear that the land may become full of shame.

bbe@Leviticus:19:31 @Do not go after those who make use of spirits, or wonder-workers; do not go in their ways or become unclean through them: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:19:34 @Let him be to you as one of your countrymen and have love for him as for yourself; for you were living in a strange land, in the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:20:3 @And my face will be turned against that man, and he will be cut off from his people; because he has given his offspring to Molech, making my holy place unclean, and making my holy name common.

bbe@Leviticus:20:11 @And the man who has sex relations with his father's wife has put shame on his father: the two of them are to be put to death; their blood will be on them.

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

bbe@Leviticus:20:17 @And if a man takes his sister, daughter of his father or his mother, and has sex relations with her and she with him, it is an act of shame: they are to be cut off before the children of their people; he has had sex relations with his sister, and his sin will be on him.

bbe@Leviticus:20:18 @And if a man has sex relations with a woman at the time when she is unwell, he has seen her fountain and she has let the fountain of her blood be uncovered, and the two of them are to be cut off from among their people.

bbe@Leviticus:20:20 @And if a man has sex relations with the wife of his father's brother, he has put shame on his father's brother: their sin will be on them; till the day of their death they will have no children.

bbe@Leviticus:20:21 @And if a man takes his brother's wife, it is an unclean act; he has put shame on his brother; they will have no children.

bbe@Leviticus:20:25 @So then, make division between the clean beast and the unclean, and between the clean bird and the unclean: do not make yourselves disgusting by any beast or bird or anything which goes flat on the earth, which has been marked by me as unclean for you.

bbe@Leviticus:20:26 @And you are to be holy to me; for I the Lord am holy and have made you separate from the nations, so that you may be my people.

bbe@Leviticus:21:4 @But let him, being a chief among his people, not make himself unclean in such a way as to put shame on himself.

bbe@Leviticus:21:6 @Let them be holy to their God and not make the name of their God common; for the fire offerings of the Lord and the bread of their God are offered by them, and they are to be holy.

bbe@Leviticus:21:9 @And if the daughter of a priest makes herself common and by her loose behaviour puts shame on her father, let her be burned with fire.

bbe@Leviticus:21:17 @Say to Aaron, If a man of your family, in any generation, is damaged in body, let him not come near to make the offering of the bread of his God.

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

bbe@Leviticus:21:21 @No man of the offspring of Aaron whose body is damaged in any way may come near to give the fire offerings of the Lord: he is damaged, he may not come near to make the offerings.

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

bbe@Leviticus:22:2 @Give orders to Aaron and to his sons to keep themselves separate from the holy things of the children of Israel which they give to me, and not to make my holy name common: I am the Lord,

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

bbe@Leviticus:22:5 @Or anyone touching any unclean thing which goes flat on the earth, or someone by whom he may be made unclean in any way whatever;

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

bbe@Leviticus:22:9 @So then, let them keep what I have put into their care, for fear that sin may come on them because of it, so causing their death because they have made it common: I am the Lord, who make them holy.

bbe@Leviticus:22:10 @No outside person may take of the holy food, or one living as a guest in the priest's house, or a servant working for payment.

bbe@Leviticus:22:11 @But any person for whom the priest has given money, to make him his, may take of it with him; and those who come to birth in his house may take of his bread.

bbe@Leviticus:22:13 @But if a priest's daughter is a widow, or parted from her husband, and has no child, and has come back to her father's house as when she was a girl, she may take of her father's bread; but no outside person may do so.

bbe@Leviticus:22:16 @So causing sin to come on them when they take their holy things for food: I am the Lord who make them holy

bbe@Leviticus:22:21 @And whoever makes a peace-offering to the Lord, in payment of an oath or as a free offering, from the herd or the flock, if it is to be pleasing to the Lord, let it be free from any mark or damage.

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

bbe@Leviticus:22:28 @A cow or a sheep may not be put to death with its young on the same day.

bbe@Leviticus:22:30 @Let it be used for food on the same day; do not keep any part of it till the morning: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:22:32 @And do not make my holy name common; so that it may be kept holy by the children of Israel: I am the Lord who make you holy,

bbe@Leviticus:23:2 @Say to the children of Israel, These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, which you will keep for holy meetings: these are my feasts.

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

bbe@Leviticus:23:4 @These are the fixed feasts of the Lord, the holy days of worship which you will keep at their regular times.

bbe@Leviticus:23:6 @And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the feast of unleavened bread; for seven days let your food be unleavened bread.

bbe@Leviticus:23:7 @On the first day you will have a holy meeting; you may do no sort of field-work.

bbe@Leviticus:23:8 @And every day for seven days you will give a burned offering to the Lord; and on the seventh day there will be a holy meeting; you may do no field-work.

bbe@Leviticus:23:10 @Say to the children of Israel, When you have come to the land which I will give you, and have got in the grain from its fields, take some of the first-fruits of the grain to the priest;

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:23:35 @On the first day there will be a holy meeting: do no field-work.

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

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

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

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

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

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

bbe@Leviticus:24:5 @And take the best meal and make twelve cakes of it, a fifth part of an ephah in every cake.

bbe@Leviticus:24:7 @And on the lines of cakes put clean sweet-smelling spices, for a sign on the bread, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:24:8 @Every Sabbath day regularly, the priest is to put it in order before the Lord: it is offered for the children of Israel, an agreement made for ever.

bbe@Leviticus:24:11 @And the son of the Israelite woman said evil against the holy Name, with curses; and they took him to Moses. His mother's name was Shelomith, the daughter of Dibri, of the tribe of Dan.

bbe@Leviticus:24:16 @And he who says evil against the name of the Lord will certainly be put to death; he will be stoned by all the people; the man who is not of your nation and one who is an Israelite by birth, whoever says evil against the holy Name is to be put to death.

bbe@Leviticus:24:18 @And anyone wounding a beast and causing its death, will have to make payment for it: a life for a life.

bbe@Leviticus:24:21 @He who puts a beast to death will have to make payment for it; he who puts a man to death will himself be put to death.

bbe@Leviticus:24:22 @You are to have the same law for a man of another nation living among you as for an Israelite; for I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:25:2 @Say to the children of Israel, When you come into the land which I will give you, let the land keep a Sabbath to the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:25:5 @That which comes to growth of itself may not be cut, and the grapes of your uncared-for vines may not be taken off; let it be a year of rest for the land.

bbe@Leviticus:25:6 @And the Sabbath of the land will give food for you and your man-servant and your woman-servant and those working for payment, and for those of another country who are living among you;

bbe@Leviticus:25:8 @And let seven Sabbaths of years be numbered to you, seven times seven years; even the days of seven Sabbaths of years, that is forty-nine years;

bbe@Leviticus:25:11 @Let this fiftieth year be the Jubilee: no seed may be planted, and that which comes to growth of itself may not be cut, and the grapes may not be taken from the uncared-for vines.

bbe@Leviticus:25:15 @Let your exchange of goods with your neighbours have relation to the number of years after the year of Jubilee, and the number of times the earth has given her produce.

bbe@Leviticus:25:19 @And the land will give her fruit, and you will have food in full measure and be safe in the land.

bbe@Leviticus:25:20 @And if you say, Where will our food come from in the seventh year, when we may not put in seed, or get in the increase

bbe@Leviticus:25:23 @No exchange of land may be for ever, for the land is mine, and you are as my guests, living with me for a time.

bbe@Leviticus:25:25 @If your brother becomes poor, and has to give up some of his land for money, his nearest relation may come and get back that which his brother has given up.

bbe@Leviticus:25:27 @Then let him take into account the years from the time when he gave it up, and make up the loss for the rest of the years to him who took it, and so get back his property.

bbe@Leviticus:25:30 @And if he does not get it back by the end of the year, then the house in the town will become the property of him who gave the money for it, and of his children for ever; it will not go from him in the year of Jubilee.

bbe@Leviticus:25:31 @But houses in small unwalled towns will be the same as property in the country; they may be got back, and they will go back to their owners in the year of Jubilee.

bbe@Leviticus:25:32 @But the houses in the towns of the Levites may be got back by the Levites at any time.

bbe@Leviticus:25:33 @And if a Levite does not give money to get back his property, his house in the town which was exchanged for money will come back to him in the year of Jubilee. For the houses of the towns of the Levites are their property among the children of Israel.

bbe@Leviticus:25:35 @And if your brother becomes poor and is not able to make a living, then you are to keep him with you, helping him as you would a man from another country who is living among you.

bbe@Leviticus:25:39 @And if your brother becomes poor and gives himself to you for money, do not make use of him like a servant who is your property;

bbe@Leviticus:25:40 @But let him be with you as a servant working for payment, till the year of Jubilee;

bbe@Leviticus:25:42 @For they are my servants whom I took out from the land of Egypt; they may not become the property of another.

bbe@Leviticus:25:44 @But you may get servants as property from among the nations round about; from them you may take men-servants and women-servants.

bbe@Leviticus:25:45 @And in addition, you may get, for money, servants from among the children of other nations who are living with you, and from their families which have come to birth in your land; and these will be your property.

bbe@Leviticus:25:46 @And they will be your children's heritage after you, to keep as their property; they will be your servants for ever; but you may not be hard masters to your countrymen, the children of Israel.

bbe@Leviticus:25:47 @And if one from another nation living among you gets wealth, and your countryman, at his side, becomes poor and gives himself for money to the man from another nation or to one of his family;

bbe@Leviticus:25:50 @And let the years be numbered from the time when he gave himself to his owner till the year of Jubilee, and the price given for him will be in relation to the number of years, on the scale of the payment of a servant.

bbe@Leviticus:25:51 @If there is still a long time, he will give back, on account of it, a part of the price which was given for him.

bbe@Leviticus:25:52 @And if there is only a short time, he will take account of it with his master, and in relation to the number of years he will give back the price of making him free.

bbe@Leviticus:25:53 @And he will be with him as a servant working for payment year by year; his master is not to be cruel to him before your eyes.

bbe@Leviticus:25:55 @For the children of Israel are servants to me; they are my servants whom I took out of the land of Egypt: I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Leviticus:26:4 @Then I will give you rain at the right time, and the land will give her increase and the trees of the field will give their fruit;

bbe@Leviticus:26:5 @And the crushing of the grain will overtake the cutting of the grapes, and the cutting of the grapes will overtake the planting of the seed, and there will be bread in full measure, and you will be living in your land safely.

bbe@Leviticus:26:9 @And I will have pleasure in you and make you fertile and greater in number; and I will keep my agreement with you.

bbe@Leviticus:26:13 @I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt so that you might not be servants to them; by me the cords of your yoke were broken and I made you go upright.

bbe@Leviticus:26:14 @But if you do not give ear to me, and do not keep all these my laws;

bbe@Leviticus:26:15 @And if you go against my rules and if you have hate in your souls for my decisions and you do not do all my orders, but go against my agreement;

bbe@Leviticus:26:17 @And my face will be turned from you, and you will be broken before those who are against you, and your haters will become your rulers, and you will go in flight when no man comes after you.

bbe@Leviticus:26:18 @And if, even after these things, you will not give ear to me, then I will send you punishment seven times more for your sins.

bbe@Leviticus:26:21 @And if you still go against me and will not give ear to me, I will put seven times more punishments on you because of your sins.

bbe@Leviticus:26:22 @I will let loose the beasts of the field among you, and they will take away your children and send destruction on your cattle, so that your numbers will become small and your roads become waste.

bbe@Leviticus:26:23 @And if by these things you will not be turned to me, but still go against me;

bbe@Leviticus:26:24 @Then I will go against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for all your sins.

bbe@Leviticus:26:25 @And I will send a sword on you to give effect to the punishment of my agreement; and when you come together into your towns I will send disease among you and you will be given up into the hands of your haters.

bbe@Leviticus:26:26 @When I take away your bread of life, ten women will be cooking bread in one oven, and your bread will be measured out by weight; you will have food but never enough.

bbe@Leviticus:26:27 @And if, after all this, you do not give ear to me, but go against me still,

bbe@Leviticus:26:28 @Then my wrath will be burning against you, and I will give you punishment, I myself, seven times for your sins.

bbe@Leviticus:26:30 @And I will send destruction on your high places, overturning your perfume altars, and will put your dead bodies on your broken images, and my soul will be turned from you in disgust.

bbe@Leviticus:26:31 @And I will make your towns waste and send destruction on your holy places; I will take no pleasure in the smell of your sweet perfumes;

bbe@Leviticus:26:36 @And as for the rest of you, I will make their hearts feeble in the land of their haters, and the sound of a leaf moved by the wind will send them in flight, and they will go in flight as from the sword, falling down when no one comes after them;

bbe@Leviticus:26:37 @Falling on one another, as before the sword, when no one comes after them; you will give way before your haters.

bbe@Leviticus:26:40 @And they will have grief for their sins and for the sins of their fathers, when their hearts were untrue to me, and they went against me;

bbe@Leviticus:26:41 @So that I went against them and sent them away into the land of their haters: if then the pride of their hearts is broken and they take the punishment of their sins,

bbe@Leviticus:26:42 @Then I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with Jacob and with Isaac and with Abraham, and I will keep in mind the land.

bbe@Leviticus:26:43 @And the land, while she is without them, will keep her Sabbaths; and they will undergo the punishment of their sins, because they were turned away from my decisions and in their souls was hate for my laws.

bbe@Leviticus:26:44 @But for all that, when they are in the land of their haters I will not let them go, or be turned away from them, or give them up completely; my agreement with them will not be broken, for I am the Lord their God.

bbe@Leviticus:26:45 @And because of them I will keep in mind the agreement which I made with their fathers, whom I took out of the land of Egypt before the eyes of the nations, to be their God: I am the Lord.

bbe@Leviticus:27:9 @And if it is a beast of which men make offerings to the Lord, whatever any man gives of such to the Lord will be holy.

bbe@Leviticus:27:16 @And if a man gives to the Lord part of the field which is his property, then let your value be in relation to the seed which is planted in it; a measure of barley grain will be valued at fifty shekels of silver.

bbe@Leviticus:27:21 @But the field, when it becomes free at the year of Jubilee, will be holy to the Lord, as a field given under oath: it will be the property of the priest.

bbe@Leviticus:27:27 @And if it is an unclean beast, then the owner of it may give money to get it back, in agreement with the value fixed by you, by giving a fifth more; or if it is not taken back, let it be given for money in agreement with your valuing.

bbe@Numbers:1:1 @And the Lord said to Moses in the waste land of Sinai, in the Tent of meeting, on the first day of the second month, in the second year after they came out of the land of Egypt,

bbe@Numbers:1:2 @Take the full number of the children of Israel, by their families, and by their fathers' houses, every male by name;

bbe@Numbers:1:5 @These are the names of those who are to be your helpers: from Reuben, Elizur, the son of Shedeur;

bbe@Numbers:1:6 @From Simeon, Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai;

bbe@Numbers:1:16 @These are the men named out of all the people, chiefs of their fathers' houses, heads of the tribes of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:1:17 @And Moses and Aaron took these men, marked out by name;

bbe@Numbers:1:18 @And they got together all the people on the first day of the second month; and everyone made clear his family and his father's house, by the number of the names, from twenty years old and over.

bbe@Numbers:1:22 @The generations of the sons of Simeon were numbered by their families and their fathers' houses, every male of twenty years old and over, who was able to go to war;

bbe@Numbers:1:23 @Fifty-nine thousand, three hundred of the tribe of Simeon were numbered.

bbe@Numbers:1:50 @But to them you are to give the care of the Tent of meeting with its vessels and everything in it: they are to take up the Tent, and be responsible for everything to do with it, and put up their tents round it.

bbe@Numbers:1:51 @And when the Tent of meeting goes forward, the Levites are to take it down; and when it is to be put up, they are to do it: any strange person who comes near it is to be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:1:53 @But the tents of the Levites are to be round the Tent of meeting, so that wrath may not come on the children of Israel: the Tent of meeting is to be in the care of the Levites.

bbe@Numbers:2:2 @The children of Israel are to put up their tents in the order of their families, by the flags of their fathers' houses, facing the Tent of meeting on every side.

bbe@Numbers:2:12 @And nearest to him, the tribe of Simeon, with Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, as their chief.

bbe@Numbers:2:16 @The number of all the armies of Reuben together came to a hundred and fifty-one thousand, four hundred and fifty. They go forward second.

bbe@Numbers:2:17 @Then the Tent of meeting is to go forward, with the tents of the Levites, in the middle of the armies; in the same order as their tents are placed, they are to go forward, every man under his flag.

bbe@Numbers:2:32 @These are all who were numbered of the children of Israel, in the order of their fathers' families: all the armies in their tents together came to six hundred and three thousand, five hundred and fifty.

bbe@Numbers:2:34 @So the children of Israel did as the Lord said to Moses, so they put up their tents by their flags, and they went forward in the same order, by their families, and by their fathers' houses.

bbe@Numbers:3:1 @Now these are the generations of Aaron and Moses, in the day when the word of the Lord came to Moses on Mount Sinai.

bbe@Numbers:3:25 @In the Tent of meeting, the Gershonites are to have the care of the House, and the Tent with its cover, and the veil for the door of the Tent of meeting,

bbe@Numbers:3:27 @From Kohath come the Amramites and the Izharites and the Hebronites and the Uzzielites; these are the families of the Kohathites.

bbe@Numbers:3:33 @From Merari come the Mahlites and the Mushites; these are the families of Merari.

bbe@Numbers:3:35 @The chief of the families of Merari was Zuriel, the son of Abihail: their tents are to be placed on the north side of the House.

bbe@Numbers:3:36 @And in their care are to be all the boards of the Tent, with their rods and pillars and bases, and all the instruments, and all they are used for,

bbe@Numbers:3:38 @And those whose tents are to be placed on the east side of the House in front of the Tent of meeting, looking to the dawn, are Moses and Aaron and his sons, who will do the work of the holy place for the children of Israel; and any strange person who comes near will be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:3:40 @And the Lord said to Moses, Let all the first male children be numbered, and take the number of their names.

bbe@Numbers:3:41 @And give to me the Levites (I am the Lord) in place of the first sons of the children of Israel; and the cattle of the Levites in place of the first births among the cattle of the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:3:43 @Every first son from a month old and over was numbered by name, and the number came to twenty-two thousand, two hundred and seventy-three.

bbe@Numbers:4:3 @All those from thirty to fifty years old who are able to do the work of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:4:9 @And they are to take a blue cloth, covering with it the light-support with its lights and its instruments and its trays and all the oil vessels which are used for it:

bbe@Numbers:4:10 @All these they are to put in a leather cover, and put it on the frame

bbe@Numbers:4:12 @All the vessels which are used in the holy place they are to put in a blue cloth, covering them with a leather cover, and put them on the frame.

bbe@Numbers:4:14 @Placing on the cloth all its vessels, the fire-baskets, the meat-hooks, the spades, and the basins; all the vessels of the altar; they are to put a leather cover over all these, and put its rods in their places.

bbe@Numbers:4:15 @And after the holy place and all its vessels have been covered up by Aaron and his sons, when the tents of the people go forward, the sons of Kohath are to come and take it up; but the holy things may not be touched by them for fear of death.

bbe@Numbers:4:16 @And Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, is to be responsible for the oil for the light, and the sweet perfumes for burning, and the regular meal offering, and the holy oil; the House and the holy place and everything in it will be in his care.

bbe@Numbers:4:19 @But do this to them, so that life and not death may be theirs when they come near the most holy things; let Aaron and his sons go in and give to every one his work and that which he is to take up;

bbe@Numbers:4:23 @All those from thirty to fifty years old who are able to do the work of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:4:25 @They are to take up the curtains of the House, and the Tent of meeting with its cover and the leather cover over it, and the hangings for the door of the Tent of meeting;

bbe@Numbers:4:28 @This is the work of the family of the Gershonites in the Tent of meeting, and they will be under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

bbe@Numbers:4:29 @The sons of Merari are to be numbered by families, in the order of their fathers' houses;

bbe@Numbers:4:30 @Every one from thirty to fifty years old who is able to do the work of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:4:31 @And this is their part in the work of the Tent of meeting: the transport of the boards and the rods of the Tent, with the pillars and their bases;

bbe@Numbers:4:32 @And the pillars of the open space outside it, with their bases and their nails and cords and all the instruments used, and everything which has to be done there; all the instruments for which they are responsible are to be numbered by name.

bbe@Numbers:4:33 @This is the work which the sons of Merari are to do in connection with the Tent of meeting, under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

bbe@Numbers:4:35 @Numbering all those from thirty to fifty years old who were able to do the work in the Tent of meeting;

bbe@Numbers:4:37 @This is the number of those of the Kohathites who did the work in the Tent of meeting, as they were numbered by Moses and Aaron at the order of the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:4:39 @All those from thirty to fifty years old who were able to do the work in the Tent of meeting,

bbe@Numbers:4:47 @Those from thirty to fifty years old who were able to do the work of the Tent of meeting and of its transport,

bbe@Numbers:4:48 @Came to eight thousand, five hundred and eighty.

bbe@Numbers:5:6 @Say to the children of Israel, If a man or a woman does any of the sins of men, going against the word of the Lord, and is in the wrong;

bbe@Numbers:5:7 @Let them say openly what they have done; and make payment for the wrong done, with the addition of a fifth part, and give it to him to whom the wrong was done.

bbe@Numbers:5:8 @But if the man has no relation to whom the payment may be made, then the payment for sin made to the Lord will be the priest's, in addition to the sheep offered to take away his sin.

bbe@Numbers:5:14 @If the spirit of doubt comes into her husband's heart, and he has doubts of his wife, with good cause; or if he has doubts of her without cause:

bbe@Numbers:5:15 @Then let him take her to the priest, offering for her the tenth part of an ephah of barley meal, without oil or perfume; for it is a meal offering of a bitter spirit, a meal offering keeping wrongdoing in mind.

bbe@Numbers:5:16 @And the priest will make her come near and put her before the Lord;

bbe@Numbers:5:18 @And he will make the woman come before the Lord with her hair loose, and will put the meal offering, the offering of a bitter spirit, in her hands; and the priest will take in his hand the bitter water causing the curse;

bbe@Numbers:5:25 @And the priest will take from her hand the meal offering of doubt, waving it before the Lord, and will take it to the altar;

bbe@Numbers:5:26 @And he will take some of it in his hand, burning it on the altar as a sign, and then he will give the woman the bitter water.

bbe@Numbers:5:27 @And it will be that if the woman has become unclean, sinning against her husband, when she has taken the bitter water it will go into her body, causing disease of the stomach and wasting of the legs, and she will be a curse among her people.

bbe@Numbers:5:29 @This is the law for testing a wife who goes with another in place of her husband and becomes unclean;

bbe@Numbers:6:4 @All the time he is separate he may take nothing made from the grape-vine, from its seeds to its skin.

bbe@Numbers:6:5 @All the time he is under his oath let no blade come near his head; till the days while he is separate are ended he is holy and his hair may not be cut.

bbe@Numbers:6:6 @All the time he is separate he may not come near any dead body.

bbe@Numbers:6:7 @He may not make himself unclean for his father or his mother, his sister or his brother, if death comes to them; because he is under an oath to keep himself separate for God.

bbe@Numbers:6:8 @All the time he is separate he is holy to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:6:9 @If death comes suddenly to a man at his side, so that he becomes unclean, let his hair be cut off on the day when he is made clean, on the seventh day.

bbe@Numbers:6:10 @And on the eighth day let him take to the priest, at the door of the Tent of meeting, two doves or two young pigeons;

bbe@Numbers:6:11 @And the priest will give one for a sin-offering and the other for a burned offering to take away the sin which came on him on account of the dead, and he will make his head holy that same day.

bbe@Numbers:6:12 @And he will give to the Lord his days of being separate, offering a he-lamb of the first year as an offering for error: but the earlier days will be a loss, because he became unclean.

bbe@Numbers:6:13 @And this is the law for him who is separate, when the necessary days are ended: he is to come to the door of the Tent of meeting,

bbe@Numbers:6:15 @And a basket of unleavened bread, cakes of the best meal mixed with oil, and thin unleavened cakes covered with oil, with their meal offering and drink offerings.

bbe@Numbers:6:17 @Giving the sheep of the peace-offerings, with the basket of unleavened bread; and at the same time, the priest will make his meal offering and his drink offering.

bbe@Numbers:6:18 @Then let his long hair, the sign of his oath, be cut off at the door of the Tent of meeting, and let him put it on the fire on which the peace-offerings are burning.

bbe@Numbers:6:27 @So they will put my name on the children of Israel, and I will give them my blessing.

bbe@Numbers:7:3 @And they came with their offerings before the Lord, six covered carts and twelve oxen; a cart for every two of the chiefs, and for every one an ox.

bbe@Numbers:7:5 @Take the things from them, to be used for the work of the Tent of meeting; and give them to the Levites, to every man what is needed for his work.

bbe@Numbers:7:8 @And four carts and eight oxen he gave to the sons of Merari for their work, under the direction of Ithamar, the son of Aaron the priest.

bbe@Numbers:7:13 @And his offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:19 @He gave one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:31 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:36 @On the fifth day Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai, chief of the children of Simeon:

bbe@Numbers:7:37 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:43 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:49 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:55 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:61 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:67 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:79 @His offering was one silver plate, a hundred and thirty shekels in weight, one silver basin of seventy shekels, by the scale of the holy place; the two of them full of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering;

bbe@Numbers:7:87 @All the oxen, for the burned offering were twelve, the male sheep twelve, the he-lambs of the first year twelve, with their meal offering; and the males of the goats for sin-offering twelve;

bbe@Numbers:7:89 @And when Moses went into the Tent of meeting to have talk with him, then the Voice came to his ears from over the cover which was on the ark of witness, from between the two winged ones. And he had talk with him.

bbe@Numbers:8:4 @The support for the lights was of hammered gold work, from its base to its flowers it was of hammered work; from the design which the Lord had given to Moses, he made the support for the lights.

bbe@Numbers:8:8 @Then let them take a young ox and its meal offering, crushed grain mixed with oil, and take another ox for a sin-offering.

bbe@Numbers:8:9 @And make the Levites come forward in front of the Tent of meeting, and let all the children of Israel come together:

bbe@Numbers:8:15 @After that, the Levites will go in to do whatever has to be done in the Tent of meeting; you are to make them clean and give them as a wave offering.

bbe@Numbers:8:16 @For they have been given to me from among the children of Israel; in place of every mother's first son, the first to come to birth in Israel, I have taken them for myself.

bbe@Numbers:8:19 @And I have given them to Aaron and to his sons, from among the children of Israel, to undertake for them all the work of the Tent of meeting, and to take away sin from the children of Israel so that no evil may come on them when they come near the holy place.

bbe@Numbers:8:22 @And then the Levites went in to do their work in the Tent of meeting before Aaron and his sons: all the orders which the Lord had given Moses about the Levites were put into effect.

bbe@Numbers:8:24 @This is the rule for the Levites: those of twenty-five years old and over are to go in and do the work of the Tent of meeting;

bbe@Numbers:8:26 @But be with their brothers in the Tent of meeting, taking care of it but doing no work. This is what you are to do in connection with the Levites and their work.

bbe@Numbers:9:1 @And the Lord said to Moses, in the waste land of Sinai, in the first month of the second year after they had come out of the land of Egypt,

bbe@Numbers:9:2 @Let the children of Israel keep the Passover at its regular time.

bbe@Numbers:9:3 @In the fourteenth day of this month, at evening, you are to keep it at the regular time, and in the way ordered in the law.

bbe@Numbers:9:6 @And there were certain men who were unclean because of a dead body, so that they were not able to keep the Passover on that day; and they came before Moses and before Aaron on that day:

bbe@Numbers:9:7 @And these men said to him, We have been made unclean by the dead body of a man; why may we not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time among the children of Israel?

bbe@Numbers:9:8 @And Moses said to them, Do nothing till the Lord gives me directions about you.

bbe@Numbers:9:13 @But the man who, not being unclean or on a journey, does not keep the Passover, will be cut off from his people: because he did not make the offering of the Lord at the regular time, his sin will be on him.

bbe@Numbers:9:14 @And if a man from another country is among you and has a desire to keep the Passover to the Lord, let him do as is ordered in the law of the Passover: there is to be the same rule for the man from another nation and for him who had his birth in the land.

bbe@Numbers:9:15 @And on the day when the House was put up, the cloud came down on it, on the Tent of witness; and in the evening there was a light like fire over the House till the morning.

bbe@Numbers:9:16 @And so it was at all times: it was covered by the cloud, and by a light as of fire by night.

bbe@Numbers:9:17 @And whenever the cloud was taken up from over the House, then the children of Israel went journeying on; and in the place where the cloud came to rest, there the children of Israel put up their tents.

bbe@Numbers:9:19 @When the cloud was resting on the House for a long time the children of Israel, waiting for the order of the Lord, did not go on.

bbe@Numbers:9:20 @Sometimes the cloud was resting on the House for two or three days; then, by the order of the Lord, they kept their tents in that place, and when the Lord gave the order they went on

bbe@Numbers:9:21 @And sometimes the cloud was there only from evening to morning; and when the cloud was taken up in the morning they went on their journey again: or if it was resting there by day and by night, whenever the cloud was taken up they went forward.

bbe@Numbers:9:22 @Or if the cloud came to rest on the House for two days or a month or a year without moving, the children of Israel went on waiting there and did not go on; but whenever it was taken up they went forward on their journey.

bbe@Numbers:10:2 @Make two silver horns of hammered work, to be used for getting the people together and to give the sign for the moving of the tents.

bbe@Numbers:10:3 @When they are sounded, all the people are to come together to you at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:10:4 @If only one of them is sounded, then the chiefs, the heads of the thousands of Israel, are to come to you.

bbe@Numbers:10:7 @But when all the people are to come together, the horn is to be sounded but not loudly.

bbe@Numbers:10:12 @And the children of Israel went on their journey out of the waste land of Sinai; and the cloud came to rest in the waste land of Paran.

bbe@Numbers:10:13 @They went forward for the first time on their journey as the Lord had given orders by the hand of Moses.

bbe@Numbers:10:17 @Then the House was taken down; and the sons of Gershon and the sons of Merari, who were responsible for moving the House, went forward.

bbe@Numbers:10:19 @And at the head of the army of the children of Simeon was Shelumiel, the son of Zurishaddai.

bbe@Numbers:10:29 @Then Moses said to Hobab, the son of his father-in-law Reuel the Midianite, We are journeying to that place of which the Lord has said, I will give it to you: so come with us, and it will be for your profit: for the Lord has good things in store for Israel.

bbe@Numbers:10:32 @And if you come with us, we will give you a part in whatever good the Lord does for us.

bbe@Numbers:10:33 @So they went forward three days' journey from the mountain of the Lord; and the ark of the Lord's agreement went three days' journey before them, looking for a resting-place for them;

bbe@Numbers:10:35 @And when the ark went forward Moses said, Come up, O Lord, and let the armies of those who are against you be broken, and let your haters go in flight before you.

bbe@Numbers:10:36 @And when it came to rest, he said, Take rest, O Lord, and give a blessing to the families of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:11:3 @So that place was named Taberah, because of the fire of the Lord which had been burning among them.

bbe@Numbers:11:4 @And the mixed band of people who went with them were overcome by desire: and the children of Israel, weeping again, said, Who will give us flesh for our food?

bbe@Numbers:11:5 @Sweet is the memory of the fish we had in Egypt for nothing, and the fruit and green plants of every sort, sharp and pleasing to the taste:

bbe@Numbers:11:8 @The people went about taking it up from the earth, crushing it between stones or hammering it to powder, and boiling it in pots, and they made cakes of it: its taste was like the taste of cakes cooked with oil.

bbe@Numbers:11:9 @When the dew came down on the tents at night, the manna came down with it.

bbe@Numbers:11:11 @And Moses said to the Lord, Why have you done me this evil? and why have I not grace in your eyes, that you have put on me the care of all this people?

bbe@Numbers:11:12 @Am I the father of all this people? have I given them birth, that you say to me, Take them in your arms, like a child at the breast, to the land which you gave by an oath to their fathers?

bbe@Numbers:11:13 @Where am I to get flesh to give to all this people? For they are weeping to me and saying, Give us flesh for our food.

bbe@Numbers:11:15 @If this is to be my fate, put me to death now in answer to my prayer, if I have grace in your eyes; and let me not see my shame.

bbe@Numbers:11:16 @And the Lord said to Moses, Send for seventy of the responsible men of Israel, who are in your opinion men of weight and authority over the people; make them come to the Tent of meeting and be there with you.

bbe@Numbers:11:17 @And I will come down and have talk with you there: and I will take some of the spirit which is on you and put it on them, and they will take part of the weight of the people off you, so that you do not have to take it by yourself.

bbe@Numbers:11:20 @But every day for a month, till you are tired of it, turning from it in disgust: because you have gone against the Lord who is with you, and have been weeping before him saying, Why did we come out of Egypt?

bbe@Numbers:11:21 @Then Moses said, The people, among whom I am, are six hundred thousand men on foot; and you have said, I will give them flesh to be their food for a month.

bbe@Numbers:11:23 @And the Lord said to Moses, Has the Lord's hand become short? Now you will see if my word comes true for you or not.

bbe@Numbers:11:24 @And Moses went out and gave the people the words of the Lord: and he took seventy of the responsible men of the people, placing them round the Tent.

bbe@Numbers:11:25 @Then the Lord came down in the cloud and had talk with him, and put on the seventy men some of the spirit which was on him: now when the spirit came to rest on them, they were like prophets, but only at that time.

bbe@Numbers:11:26 @But two men were still in the tent-circle one of them named Eldad and the other Medad: and the spirit came to rest on them; they were among those who had been sent for, but they had not gone out to the Tent: and the prophet's power came on them in the tent-circle.

bbe@Numbers:11:27 @And a young man went running to Moses and said, Eldad and Medad are acting as prophets in the tent-circle.

bbe@Numbers:11:28 @Then Joshua, the son of Nun, who had been Moses' servant from the time when he was a child, said, My lord Moses, let them be stopped.

bbe@Numbers:11:30 @Then Moses, with the responsible men of Israel, went back to the tent-circle.

bbe@Numbers:11:31 @Then the Lord sent a wind, driving little birds from the sea, so that they came down on the tents, and all round the tent-circle, about a day's journey on this side and on that, in masses about two cubits high over the face of the earth.

bbe@Numbers:11:32 @And all that day and all night and the day after, the people were taking up the birds; the smallest amount which anyone got was ten homers: and they put them out all round the tents.

bbe@Numbers:11:33 @But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was tasted, the wrath of the Lord was moved against the people and he sent a great outburst of disease on them.

bbe@Numbers:11:34 @So that place was named Kibroth-hattaavah; because there they put in the earth the bodies of the people who had given way to their desires.

bbe@Numbers:12:2 @And they said, Have the words of the Lord been given to Moses only? have they not come to us? And the Lord took note of it.

bbe@Numbers:12:4 @And suddenly the Lord said to Moses and Aaron and Miriam, Come out, you three, to the Tent of meeting. And the three of them went out.

bbe@Numbers:12:5 @And the Lord came down in a pillar of cloud, taking his place at the door of the Tent, and made Aaron and Miriam come before him.

bbe@Numbers:12:6 @And he said, Now give ear to my words: if there is a prophet among you I will give him knowledge of myself in a vision and will let my words come to him in a dream.

bbe@Numbers:12:7 @My servant Moses is not so; he is true to me in all my house:

bbe@Numbers:12:10 @And the cloud was moved from over the Tent; and straight away Miriam became a leper, as white as snow: and Aaron, looking at Miriam, saw that she was a leper.

bbe@Numbers:12:12 @Let her not be as one dead, whose flesh is half wasted when he comes out from the body of his mother.

bbe@Numbers:12:13 @And Moses, crying to the Lord, said, Let my prayer come before you, O God, and make her well

bbe@Numbers:12:14 @And the Lord said to Moses, If her father had put a mark of shame on her, would she not be shamed for seven days? Let her be shut up outside the tent-circle for seven days, and after that she may come in again.

bbe@Numbers:12:15 @So Miriam was shut up outside the tent-circle for seven days: and the people did not go forward on their journey till Miriam had come in again.

bbe@Numbers:13:2 @Send men to get knowledge about the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel; from every tribe of their fathers you are to send a man, every one a chief among them.

bbe@Numbers:13:3 @And Moses sent them from the waste land of Paran as the Lord gave orders, all of them men who were heads of the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:13:4 @And these were their names: of the tribe of Reuben, Shammua, the son of Zaccur.

bbe@Numbers:13:5 @Of the tribe of Simeon, Shaphat, the son of Hori.

bbe@Numbers:13:16 @These are the names of the men whom Moses sent to get knowledge about the land. And Moses gave to Hoshea, the son of Nun, the name of Joshua.

bbe@Numbers:13:20 @And if the land is fertile or poor, and if there is wood in it or not. And be of good heart, and come back with some of the produce of the land. Now it was the time when the first grapes were ready.

bbe@Numbers:13:22 @They went up into the South and came to Hebron; and Ahiman and Sheshai and Talmai, the children of Anak, were living there. (Now the building of Hebron took place seven years before that of Zoan in Egypt.)

bbe@Numbers:13:23 @And they came to the valley of Eshcol, and cutting down a vine-branch with its grapes, two of them took it on a rod between them; and they took some pomegranates and figs.

bbe@Numbers:13:24 @That place was named the valley of Eshcol because of the grapes which the children of Israel took from there.

bbe@Numbers:13:25 @At the end of forty days they came back from viewing the land.

bbe@Numbers:13:26 @And they came back to Moses and Aaron and all the children of Israel, to Kadesh in the waste land of Paran; and gave an account to them and to all the people and let them see the produce of the land.

bbe@Numbers:13:27 @And they said, We came to the land where you sent us, and truly it is flowing with milk and honey: and here is some of the produce of it.

bbe@Numbers:13:30 @Then Caleb made signs to the people to keep quiet, and said to Moses, Let us go up straight away and take this land; for we are well able to overcome it.

bbe@Numbers:13:31 @But the men who had gone up with him said, We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we.

bbe@Numbers:13:32 @And they gave the children of Israel a bad account of the land they had been to see, saying, This land through which we went is a land causing destruction to those living in it; and all the people we saw there are men of more than common size.

bbe@Numbers:13:33 @There we saw those great men, the sons of Anak, offspring of the Nephilim: and we seemed to ourselves no more than insects, and so we seemed to them.

bbe@Numbers:14:2 @And all the children of Israel, crying out against Moses and Aaron, said, If only we had come to our death in the land of Egypt, or even in this waste land!

bbe@Numbers:14:3 @Why is the Lord taking us into this land to come to our death by the sword? Our wives and our little ones will get into strange hands: would it not be better for us to go back to Egypt?

bbe@Numbers:14:5 @Then Moses and Aaron went down on their faces before the meeting of the people.

bbe@Numbers:14:10 @But all the people said they were to be stoned. Then the glory of the Lord was seen in the Tent of meeting, before the eyes of all the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:14:11 @And the Lord said to Moses, How long will this people have no respect for me? how long will they be without faith, in the face of all the signs I have done among them?

bbe@Numbers:14:13 @And Moses said to the Lord, Then it will come to the ears of the Egyptians; for by your power you took this people out from among them;

bbe@Numbers:14:17 @So now, may my prayer come before you, and let the power of the Lord be great, as you said:

bbe@Numbers:14:18 @The Lord is slow to wrath and great in mercy, overlooking wrongdoing and evil, and will not let wrongdoers go free; sending punishment on children for the sins of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation.

bbe@Numbers:14:19 @May the sin of this people have forgiveness, in the measure of your great mercy, as you have had mercy on them from Egypt up till now.

bbe@Numbers:14:20 @And the Lord said, I have had mercy, as you say:

bbe@Numbers:14:22 @Because all these men, having seen my glory and the signs which I have done in Egypt and in the waste land, still have put me to the test ten times, and have not given ear to my voice;

bbe@Numbers:14:24 @But my servant Caleb, because he had a different spirit in him, and has been true to me with all his heart, him I will take into that land into which he went, and his seed will have it for their heritage.

bbe@Numbers:14:27 @How long am I to put up with this evil people and their outcries against me? The words which they say against me have come to my ears.

bbe@Numbers:14:28 @Say to them, By my life, says the Lord, as certainly as your words have come to my ears, so certainly will I do this to you:

bbe@Numbers:14:29 @Your dead bodies will be stretched out in this waste land; and of all your number, all those of twenty years old and over who have been crying out against me,

bbe@Numbers:14:30 @Not one will come into the land which I gave my word you would have for your resting-place, but only Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, and Joshua, the son of Nun.

bbe@Numbers:14:31 @And your little ones, whom you said would come into strange hands, I will take in, and they will see the land which you would not have.

bbe@Numbers:14:33 @And your children will be wanderers in the waste land for forty years, undergoing punishment for your false ways, till your bodies become dust in the waste land.

bbe@Numbers:14:34 @And as you went through the land viewing it for forty days, so for forty years, a year for every day, you will undergo punishment for your wrongdoing, and you will see that I am against you.

bbe@Numbers:14:35 @I the Lord have said it, and this I will certainly do to all this evil people who have come together against me: in this waste land destruction will come on them, and death will be their fate.

bbe@Numbers:14:36 @And the men whom Moses sent to see the land, and who, by the bad account they gave of the land, were the cause of the outcry the people made against Moses,

bbe@Numbers:14:37 @Those same men who said evil of the land, came to their death by disease before the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:14:41 @And Moses said, Why are you now acting against the Lord's order, seeing that no good will come of it?

bbe@Numbers:14:42 @Go not up, for the Lord is not with you, and you will be overcome by those who are fighting against you.

bbe@Numbers:14:44 @But they gave no attention to his words and went to the top of the mountain, though Moses and the ark of the Lord's agreement did not go out of the tent-circle.

bbe@Numbers:14:45 @Then the Amalekites came down, and the Canaanites who were living in the hill-country, and overcame them completely, driving them back as far as Hormah.

bbe@Numbers:15:2 @Say to the children of Israel, When you have come into the land which I am giving to you for your resting-place,

bbe@Numbers:15:3 @And are going to make an offering by fire to the Lord, a burned offering or an offering in connection with an oath, or an offering freely given, or at your regular feasts, an offering for a sweet smell to the Lord, from the herd or the flock:

bbe@Numbers:15:4 @Then let him who is making his offering, give to the Lord a meal offering of a tenth part of a measure of the best meal mixed with a fourth part of a hin of oil:

bbe@Numbers:15:6 @Or for a male sheep, give as a meal offering two tenth parts of a measure of the best meal mixed with a third part of a hin of oil:

bbe@Numbers:15:7 @And for the drink offering give a third part of a hin of wine, for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:15:9 @Then with the ox give a meal offering of three tenth parts of a measure of the best meal mixed with half a hin of oil.

bbe@Numbers:15:10 @And for the drink offering: give half a hin of wine, for an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:15:13 @All those who are Israelites by birth are to do these things in this way, when giving an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:15:14 @And if a man from another country or any other person living among you, through all your generations, has the desire to give an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord, let him do as you do.

bbe@Numbers:15:16 @The law and the rule are to be the same for you and for those from other lands living with you.

bbe@Numbers:15:18 @Say to the children of Israel, When you come into the land where I am guiding you,

bbe@Numbers:15:20 @Of the first of your rough meal you are to give a cake for a lifted offering, lifting it up before the Lord as the offering of the grain-floor is lifted up.

bbe@Numbers:15:21 @From generation to generation you are to give to the Lord a lifted offering from the first of your rough meal.

bbe@Numbers:15:24 @Then, if the wrong is done in error, without the knowledge of the meeting of the people, let all the meeting give a young ox as a burned offering, a sweet smell to the Lord, with its meal offering and its drink offering, as is ordered in the law, together with a he-goat for a sin-offering.

bbe@Numbers:15:26 @And all the meeting of the children of Israel, as well as those from other lands living among them, will have forgiveness; for it was an error on the part of the people.

bbe@Numbers:15:29 @The law in connection with wrong done unconsciously is to be the same for him who is an Israelite by birth and for the man from another country who is living among them.

bbe@Numbers:15:31 @Because he had no respect for the word of the Lord, and did not keep his law, that man will be cut off without mercy and his sin will be on him.

bbe@Numbers:15:38 @Say to the children of Israel that through all their generations they are to put on the edges of their robes an ornament of twisted threads, and in every ornament a blue cord;

bbe@Numbers:15:39 @So that, looking on these ornaments, you may keep in mind the orders of the Lord and do them; and not be guided by the desires of your hearts and eyes, through which you have been untrue to me:

bbe@Numbers:16:2 @And came before Moses, with certain of the children of Israel, two hundred and fifty chiefs of the people, men of good name who had a place in the meeting of the people.

bbe@Numbers:16:3 @They came together against Moses and against Aaron, and said to them, You take overmuch on yourselves, seeing that all the people are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among them; why then have you put yourselves in authority over the people of the Lord?

bbe@Numbers:16:5 @And he said to Korah and his band, In the morning the Lord will make clear who are his, and who is holy, and who may come near him: the man of his selection will be caused to come near him.

bbe@Numbers:16:6 @So do this: let Korah and all his band take vessels for burning perfumes;

bbe@Numbers:16:9 @Does it seem only a small thing to you that the God of Israel has made you separate from the rest of Israel, letting you come near himself to do the work of the House of the Lord, and to take your place before the people to do what has to be done for them;

bbe@Numbers:16:10 @Letting you, and all your brothers the sons of Levi, come near to him? and would you now be priests?

bbe@Numbers:16:11 @So you and all your band have come together against the Lord; and Aaron, who is he, that you are crying out against him?

bbe@Numbers:16:12 @Then Moses sent for Dathan and Abiram, the sons of Eliab: and they said, We will not come up:

bbe@Numbers:16:14 @And more than this, you have not taken us into a land flowing with milk and honey, or given us a heritage of fields and vine-gardens: will you put out the eyes of these men? We will not come up.

bbe@Numbers:16:16 @And Moses said to Korah, You and all your band are to come before the Lord tomorrow, you and they and Aaron:

bbe@Numbers:16:17 @And let every man take a vessel for burning perfumes, and put sweet spices in them; let every man take his vessel before the Lord, two hundred and fifty vessels; you and Aaron and everyone with his vessel.

bbe@Numbers:16:18 @So every man took his vessel and they put fire in them, with spices, and came to the door of the Tent of meeting with Moses and Aaron.

bbe@Numbers:16:19 @And Korah made all the people come together against them to the door of the Tent of meeting: and the glory of the Lord was seen by all the people.

bbe@Numbers:16:21 @Come out from among this people, so that I may send sudden destruction on them

bbe@Numbers:16:24 @Say to the people, Come away from the tent of Korah Dathan, and Abiram.

bbe@Numbers:16:25 @So Moses got up and went to Dathan and Abiram, and the responsible men of Israel went with him.

bbe@Numbers:16:26 @And he said to the people, Come away now from the tents of these evil men, without touching anything of theirs, or you may be taken in the punishment of their sins.

bbe@Numbers:16:27 @So on every side they went away from the tent of Korah Dathan, and Abiram: and Dathan and Abiram came out to the door of their tents, with their wives and their sons and their little ones.

bbe@Numbers:16:28 @And Moses said, Now you will see that the Lord has sent me to do all these works, and I have not done them of myself.

bbe@Numbers:16:29 @If these men have the common death of men, or if the natural fate of all men overtakes them, then the Lord has not sent me.

bbe@Numbers:16:30 @But if the Lord does something new, opening the earth to take them in, with everything which is theirs, and they go down living into the underworld, then it will be clear to you that the Lord has not been honoured by these men.

bbe@Numbers:16:32 @And the earth, opening her mouth, took them in, with their families, and all the men who were joined to Korah, and their goods.

bbe@Numbers:16:33 @So they and all theirs went down living into the underworld, and the earth was shut over them, and they were cut off from among the meeting of the people.

bbe@Numbers:16:35 @Then fire came out from the Lord, burning up the two hundred and fifty men who were offering the perfume.

bbe@Numbers:16:37 @Say to Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, that he is to take out of the flames the vessels with the perfumes in them, turning the fire out of them, for they are holy;

bbe@Numbers:16:38 @And let the vessels of those men, who with their lives have made payment for their sin, be hammered out into plates as a cover for the altar; for they have been offered before the Lord and are holy; so that they may be a sign to the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:16:39 @So Eleazar the priest took the brass vessels which had been offered by those who were burned up, and they were hammered out to make a cover for the altar:

bbe@Numbers:16:40 @To be a sign, kept in memory for ever by the children of Israel, that no man who is not of the seed of Aaron has the right of burning spices before the Lord, so that he may not be like Korah and his band: as the Lord said to him by the mouth of Moses.

bbe@Numbers:16:42 @Now when the people had come together against Moses and Aaron, looking in the direction of the Tent of meeting, they saw the cloud covering it, and the glory of the Lord came before their eyes.

bbe@Numbers:16:43 @Then Moses and Aaron came to the front of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:16:45 @Come out from among this people, so that I may send sudden destruction on them. And they went down on their faces.

bbe@Numbers:16:46 @And Moses said to Aaron, Take your vessel and put in it fire from the altar, and sweet spices, and take it quickly into the meeting of the people, and make them free from sin: for wrath has gone out from the Lord, and the disease is starting.

bbe@Numbers:16:49 @Now fourteen thousand, seven hundred deaths were caused by that disease, in addition to those who came to their end because of what Korah had done.

bbe@Numbers:16:50 @Then Aaron went back to Moses to the door of the Tent of meeting: and the disease came to a stop.

bbe@Numbers:17:2 @Say to the children of Israel that they are to give you rods, one for every family, for every chief, the head of his father's house, making twelve rods; let every man's name be placed on his rod.

bbe@Numbers:17:3 @And let Aaron's name be placed on the rod of Levi: for there is to be one rod for the head of every family.

bbe@Numbers:17:4 @And let them be stored up in the Tent of meeting, in front of the ark of witness where I come to you.

bbe@Numbers:17:5 @And the rod of that man who is marked out by me for myself will have buds on it; so I will put a stop to the outcries which the children of Israel make to me against you.

bbe@Numbers:17:10 @And the Lord said to Moses, Put Aaron's rod back in front of the ark of witness, to be kept for a sign against this false-hearted people, so that you may put a stop to their outcries against me, and death may not overtake them.

bbe@Numbers:17:12 @And the children of Israel said to Moses, Truly, destruction has come on us; an evil fate has overtaken us all.

bbe@Numbers:17:13 @Death will overtake everyone who comes near, who comes near the House of the Lord: are we all to come to destruction?

bbe@Numbers:18:1 @And the Lord said to Aaron, You and your sons and your father's family are to be responsible for all wrongdoing in relation to the holy place: and you and your sons are to be responsible for the errors which come about in your work as priests.

bbe@Numbers:18:2 @Let your brothers, the family of Levi, come near with you, so that they may be joined with you and be your servants: but you and your sons with you are to go in before the ark of witness.

bbe@Numbers:18:3 @They are to do your orders and be responsible for the work of the Tent; but they may not come near the vessels of the holy place or the altar, so that death may not overtake them or you.

bbe@Numbers:18:4 @They are to be joined with you in the care of the Tent of meeting, doing whatever is needed for the Tent: and no one of any other family may come near you.

bbe@Numbers:18:5 @You are to be responsible for the holy place and the altar, so that wrath may never again come on the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:18:6 @Now, see, I have taken your brothers the Levites from among the children of Israel: they are given to you and to the Lord, to do the work of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:18:7 @And you and your sons with you are to be responsible as priests for the altar and everything on it, and everything inside the veil; you are to do the work of priests; I have given you your position as priests; and any other man who comes near will be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:18:9 @This is to be yours of the most holy things, out of the fire offerings; every offering of theirs, every meal offering and sin-offering, and every offering which they make on account of error, is to be most holy for you and your sons.

bbe@Numbers:18:15 @The first birth of every living thing which is offered to the Lord, of man or beast, is to be yours; but for the first sons of man payment is to be made, and for the first young of unclean beasts.

bbe@Numbers:18:16 @Payment is to be made for these when they are a month old, at the value fixed by you, a price of five shekels by the scale of the holy place, that is, twenty gerahs to the shekel.

bbe@Numbers:18:17 @But no such payment may be made for the first birth of an ox or a sheep or a goat; these are holy: their blood is to be dropped on the altar, and their fat burned for an offering made by fire, a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:18:19 @All the lifted offerings of the holy things which the children of Israel give to the Lord, I have given to you and to your sons and to your daughters as a right for ever. This is an agreement made with salt before the Lord, to you and to your seed for ever.

bbe@Numbers:18:21 @And to the children of Levi I have given as their heritage all the tenths offered in Israel, as payment for the work they do, the work of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:18:22 @In future the children of Israel are not to come near the Tent of meeting, so that death may not come to them because of sin.

bbe@Numbers:18:23 @But the Levites are to do the work of the Tent of meeting, and be responsible for errors in connection with it: this is a law for ever through all your generations; and among the children of Israel they will have no heritage.

bbe@Numbers:18:31 @It is to be your food, for you and your families in every place: it is your reward for your work in the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:19:4 @Then let Eleazar the priest take some of her blood on his finger, shaking the blood seven times in the direction of the front of the Tent of meeting:

bbe@Numbers:19:7 @And the priest, after washing his clothing and bathing his body in water, may come back to the tent-circle, and will be unclean till evening.

bbe@Numbers:19:14 @This is the law when death comes to a man in his tent: everyone who comes into the tent, and everyone who is in the tent, will be unclean for seven days.

bbe@Numbers:19:16 @And anyone touching one who has been put to death with the sword in the open country, or the body of one who has come to his end by a natural death, or a man's bone, or the resting-place of a dead body, will be unclean for seven days.

bbe@Numbers:19:18 @And a clean person is to take hyssop and put it in the water, shaking it over the tent, and all the vessels, and the people who were there, and over him by whom the bone, or the body of one who has been put to death with the sword, or the body of one who has come to his end by a natural death, or the resting-place was touched.

bbe@Numbers:19:20 @But the man who, being unclean, does not make himself clean in this way, will be cut off from the meeting of the people, because he has made the holy place of the Lord unclean: the water has not been put on him, he is unclean.

bbe@Numbers:20:1 @In the first month all the children of Israel came into the waste land of Zin, and put up their tents in Kadesh; there death came to Miriam, and they put her body to rest in the earth.

bbe@Numbers:20:2 @And there was no water for the people: and they came together against Moses and against Aaron.

bbe@Numbers:20:3 @And the people were angry with Moses and said, If only death had overtaken us when our brothers came to their death before the Lord!

bbe@Numbers:20:4 @Why have you taken the Lord's people into this waste, for death to come to us and to our cattle there?

bbe@Numbers:20:5 @Why have you made us come out of Egypt into this evil place? This is no place of seed or figs or vines or other fruits, and there is no water for drinking.

bbe@Numbers:20:6 @Then Moses and Aaron went away from the people to the door of the Tent of meeting; and, falling on their faces there, they saw the glory of the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:20:8 @Take the rod, you and Aaron, your brother, and make all the people come together, and before their eyes give orders to the rock to give out its water; and so make water come out of the rock for them, and give the people and their cattle drink.

bbe@Numbers:20:10 @Then Moses and Aaron made the people come together in front of the rock, and he said to them, Give ear now, you people whose hearts are turned from the Lord; are we to get water for you out of the rock?

bbe@Numbers:20:11 @And lifting up his hand, Moses gave the rock two blows with his rod: and water came streaming out, and the people and their cattle had drink enough.

bbe@Numbers:20:12 @Then the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, Because you had not enough faith in me to keep my name holy before the children of Israel, you will not take this people into the land which I have given them

bbe@Numbers:20:13 @These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel went against the Lord, and they saw that he was holy among them.

bbe@Numbers:20:14 @Then Moses sent men from Kadesh to the king of Edom to say to him, Your brother Israel says, You have knowledge of all the things we have been through;

bbe@Numbers:20:15 @How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we were living in Egypt for a long time; and the Egyptians were cruel to us and to our fathers:

bbe@Numbers:20:18 @And Edom said, You are not to go through my land, for if you do I will come out against you with the sword.

bbe@Numbers:20:20 @But he said, You are not to go through. And Edom came out against them in his strength, with a great army.

bbe@Numbers:20:22 @And they went on from Kadesh, and came, with all their people, to Mount Hor.

bbe@Numbers:20:24 @Aaron will be put to rest with his people; he will not go into the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you went against my word at the waters of Meribah.

bbe@Numbers:20:26 @And take Aaron's robes off him and put them on Eleazar, his son: and death will come to Aaron there, and he will be put to rest with his people.

bbe@Numbers:20:28 @And Moses took off Aaron's robes, and put them on Eleazar, his son; and there on the top of the mountain death came to Aaron: then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain.

bbe@Numbers:21:1 @And it came to the ears of the Canaanite, the king of Arad, living in the South, that Israel was coming by the way of Atharim, and he came out against them and took some of them prisoners.

bbe@Numbers:21:3 @And the Lord, in answer to the voice of Israel, gave the Canaanites up to them; and they put them and their towns completely to destruction: and that place was named Hormah.

bbe@Numbers:21:4 @Then they went on from Mount Hor by the way to the Red Sea, going round the land of Edom: and the spirit of the people was overcome with weariness on the way.

bbe@Numbers:21:5 @And crying out against God and against Moses, they said, Why have you taken us out of Egypt to come to our death in the waste land? For there is no bread and no water, and this poor bread is disgusting to us.

bbe@Numbers:21:7 @Then the people came to Moses and said, We have done wrong in crying out against the Lord and against you: make prayer to the Lord to take away the snakes from us. So Moses made prayer for the people.

bbe@Numbers:21:16 @From there they went on to Beer, the water-spring of which the Lord said to Moses, Make the people come together and I will give them water.

bbe@Numbers:21:17 @Then Israel gave voice to this song: Come up, O water-spring, let us make a song to it:

bbe@Numbers:21:21 @And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, saying,

bbe@Numbers:21:22 @Let me go through your land: we will not go into field or vine-garden, or take the water of the springs; we will go by the highway till we have gone past the limits of your land.

bbe@Numbers:21:24 @But Israel overcame him, and took all his land from the Arnon to the Jabbok, as far as the country of the children of Ammon, for the country of the children of Ammon was strongly armed.

bbe@Numbers:21:27 @So the makers of wise sayings say, Come to Heshbon, building up the town of Sihon and making it strong:

bbe@Numbers:21:28 @For a fire has gone out of Heshbon, a flame from the town of Sihon: for the destruction of Ar in Moab, and the lords of the high places of the Arnon.

bbe@Numbers:21:30 @They are wounded with our arrows; destruction has come on Heshbon, even to Dibon; and we have made the land waste as far as Nophah, stretching out to Medeba.

bbe@Numbers:21:32 @And Moses sent men secretly to Jazer, and they took its towns, driving out the Amorites who were living there.

bbe@Numbers:21:35 @So they overcame him and his sons and his people, driving them all out: and they took his land for their heritage.

bbe@Numbers:22:4 @Then Moab said to the responsible men of Midian, It is clear that this great people will be the destruction of everything round us, making a meal of us as the ox does of the grass of the field. At that time Balak, the son of Zippor, was king of Moab.

bbe@Numbers:22:5 @So he sent men to Balaam, son of Beor, at Pethor by the River in the land of the children of his people, saying to him, See, a people has come out of Egypt, covering all the face of the earth, and they have put up their tents opposite to me:

bbe@Numbers:22:6 @Come now, in answer to my prayer, and put a curse on this people, for they are greater than I: and then I may be strong enough to overcome them and send them out of the land: for it is clear that good comes to him who has your blessing, but he on whom you put your curse is cursed.

bbe@Numbers:22:7 @So the responsible men of Moab and Midian went away, taking in their hands rewards for the prophet; and they came to Balaam and said to him what Balak had given them orders to say.

bbe@Numbers:22:9 @And God came to Balaam and said, Who are these men with you?

bbe@Numbers:22:10 @And Balaam said to God, Balak, the son of Zippor, king of Moab, has sent them to me, saying,

bbe@Numbers:22:11 @See, the people who have come out of Egypt are covering all the earth: now, put a curse on this people for me, so that I may be able to make war on them, driving them out of the land.

bbe@Numbers:22:13 @In the morning Balaam got up and said to the chiefs of Balak, Go back to your land, for the Lord will not let me go with you.

bbe@Numbers:22:14 @So the chiefs of Moab went back to Balak and said, Balaam will not come with us.

bbe@Numbers:22:16 @And they came to Balaam and said, Balak, son of Zippor, says, Let nothing keep you from coming to me:

bbe@Numbers:22:17 @For I will give you a place of very great honour, and whatever you say to me I will do; so come, in answer to my prayer, and put a curse on this people.

bbe@Numbers:22:18 @But Balaam, in answer; said to the servants of Balak, Even if Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, it would not be possible for me to do anything more or less than the orders of the Lord my God.

bbe@Numbers:22:19 @So take your rest here this night, till I have knowledge what more the Lord has to say to me.

bbe@Numbers:22:20 @And that night God came to Balaam and said to him, If these men have come for you, go with them: but do only what I say to you.

bbe@Numbers:22:28 @Then the Lord gave the ass the power of talking, and opening her mouth she said to Balaam, What have I done to you that you have given me blows these three times?

bbe@Numbers:22:29 @And Balaam said to the ass, You have made me seem foolish: if only I had a sword in my hand I would put you to death.

bbe@Numbers:22:32 @And the angel of the Lord said to him, Why have you given your ass blows these three times? See, I have come out against you to keep you back, because your purpose is not pleasing to me.

bbe@Numbers:22:33 @And the ass saw me, turning to one side from me three times: if she had not gone to one side, I would certainly have put you to death and kept her safe.

bbe@Numbers:22:34 @And Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, I have done wrong, for I did not see that you were in the way against me: but now, if it is evil in your eyes, I will go back again.

bbe@Numbers:22:35 @And the angel of the Lord said to Balaam, Go with the men; but say only what I give you to say. Then Balaam went on with the chiefs of Balak.

bbe@Numbers:22:36 @Now Balak, hearing that Balaam had come, went to the chief town of Moab, on the edge of the Arnon, in the farthest part of the land, for the purpose of meeting him.

bbe@Numbers:22:37 @And Balak said to Balaam, Did I not send to you, requesting you with all my heart to come to me? why did you not come? am I not able to give you a place of honour?

bbe@Numbers:22:38 @Then Balaam said to Balak, Now I have come to you; but have I power to say anything? Only what God puts into my mouth may I say.

bbe@Numbers:23:1 @And Balaam said to Balak, Make me here seven altars and get ready seven oxen and seven male sheep.

bbe@Numbers:23:3 @Then Balaam said to Balak, Take your place by your burned offering, and I will go and see if the Lord comes to me: and I will give you word of whatever he says to me. And he went to an open place on a hill.

bbe@Numbers:23:4 @And God came to Balaam, and Balaam said to him, I have made ready seven altars, offering an ox and a male sheep on every altar.

bbe@Numbers:23:7 @And in the words which the Lord had given him he said, From Aram Balak has sent for me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East: come, put curses on Jacob for me and be angry with Israel.

bbe@Numbers:23:10 @Who is able to take the measure of the dust of Jacob or the number of the thousands of Israel? May my death be the death of the upright and my last end like his!

bbe@Numbers:23:11 @Then Balak said to Balaam, What have you done to me? I sent for you so that my haters might be cursed, and see, you have given them a blessing.

bbe@Numbers:23:13 @And Balak said to him, Come with me now into another place from which you will not be able to see them all, but only the outskirts of them; and you will send curses on them from there.

bbe@Numbers:23:16 @And the Lord came to Balaam, and put words in his mouth, and said, Go back to Balak, and this is what you are to say.

bbe@Numbers:23:17 @So he came to him where he was waiting by his burned offering with the chiefs of Moab by his side. And Balak said to him, What has the Lord said?

bbe@Numbers:23:18 @And in the words which the Lord had given him he said, Up! Balak, and give ear; give attention to me, O son of Zippor:

bbe@Numbers:23:23 @No evil power has effect against Jacob, no secret arts against Israel; at the right time it will be said of Jacob and of Israel, See what God has done!

bbe@Numbers:23:24 @See, Israel comes up like a she-lion, lifting himself up like a lion: he will take no rest till he has made a meal of those he has overcome, drinking the blood of those he has put to death.

bbe@Numbers:23:27 @Then Balak said to Balaam, Come now, I will take you to another place; it may be that God will let you put a curse on them from there.

bbe@Numbers:23:29 @And Balaam said to Balak, Make me seven altars here and get seven oxen and seven male sheep ready for me.

bbe@Numbers:24:1 @Now when Balaam saw that it was the Lord's pleasure to give his blessing to Israel, he did not, as at other times, make use of secret arts, but turning his face to the waste land,

bbe@Numbers:24:2 @And lifting up his eyes, he saw Israel there, with their tents in the order of their tribes: and the spirit of God came on him.

bbe@Numbers:24:10 @Then Balak was full of wrath against Balaam, and angrily waving his hands he said to Balaam, I sent for you so that those who are against me might be cursed, but now, see, three times you have given them a blessing.

bbe@Numbers:24:11 @Go back quickly to the place you came from: it was my purpose to give you a place of honour, but now the Lord has kept you back from honour.

bbe@Numbers:24:12 @Then Balaam said to Balak, Did I not say to the men you sent to me,

bbe@Numbers:24:13 @Even if Balak gave me his house full of silver and gold, it would not be possible for me to go outside the orders of the Lord, doing good or evil at the impulse of my mind; whatever the Lord says I will say?

bbe@Numbers:24:14 @So now I will go back to my people: but first let me make clear to you what this people will do to your people in days to come.

bbe@Numbers:24:17 @I see him, but not now: looking on him, but not near: a star will come out of Jacob, and a rod of authority out of Israel, sending destruction to the farthest limits of Moab and on the head of all the sons of Sheth.

bbe@Numbers:24:24 @But ships will come from the direction of Kittim, troubling Asshur and troubling Eber, and like the others their fate will be destruction.

bbe@Numbers:25:1 @Now when Israel was living in Shittim the people became false to the Lord, doing evil with the daughters of Moab:

bbe@Numbers:25:3 @So Israel had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor: and the Lord was moved to wrath against Israel.

bbe@Numbers:25:5 @So Moses said to the judges of Israel, Let everyone put to death those of his men who have had relations with the women of Moab in honour of the Baal of Peor.

bbe@Numbers:25:6 @Then one of the children of Israel came to his brothers, taking with him a woman of Midian, before the eyes of Moses and all the meeting of the people, while they were weeping at the door of the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Numbers:25:9 @But twenty-four thousand of them had come to their death by the disease

bbe@Numbers:25:12 @So say to them that I will make with him an agreement of peace:

bbe@Numbers:25:13 @And by this agreement, he and his sons after him have the right to be priests for ever; because, by his care for the honour of his God, he took away the sin of the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:25:14 @Now the man of Israel who was put to death with the woman of Midian was Zimri, the son of Salu, a chief of one of the families of the Simeonites.

bbe@Numbers:25:17 @Take up arms against the Midianites and overcome them;

bbe@Numbers:25:18 @For they are a danger to you with their false ways, causing sin to come on you in the question of Peor, and because of Cozbi, their sister, the daughter of the chief of Midian, who was put to death at the time of the disease which came on you because of Peor.

bbe@Numbers:26:2 @Let all the children of Israel be numbered, by the names of their fathers' families, all those of twenty years old and over who are able to go to war in Israel.

bbe@Numbers:26:4 @Let all the people of twenty years old and over be numbered, as the Lord has given orders to Moses and the children of Israel who have come out of Egypt.

bbe@Numbers:26:9 @And the sons of Eliab: Nemuel and Dathan and Abiram. These are the same Dathan and Abiram who had a place in the meeting of the people, who together with Korah made an outcry against Moses and Aaron and against the Lord:

bbe@Numbers:26:10 @And they went down into the open mouth of the earth, together with Korah, when death overtook him and all his band; at the time when two hundred and fifty men were burned in the fire, and they became a sign.

bbe@Numbers:26:12 @The sons of Simeon by their families: of Nemuel, the family of the Nemuelites: of Jamin, the family of the Jaminites: of Jachin, the family of the Jachinites:

bbe@Numbers:26:14 @These are the families of the Simeonites, twenty-two thousand, two hundred.

bbe@Numbers:26:19 @The sons of Judah, Er and Onan: and Er and Onan had come to their death in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Numbers:26:33 @And Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, had no sons, but only daughters, and the names of the daughters of Zelophehad were Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

bbe@Numbers:26:46 @And the name of the daughter of Asher was Serah.

bbe@Numbers:26:53 @Let there be a division of the land among these, for their heritage, in relation to the number of names.

bbe@Numbers:26:55 @But let the distribution of the land be made by the decision of the Lord: by the names of the tribes of their fathers let their heritage be given them.

bbe@Numbers:26:57 @These were those of the Levites who were numbered by their families: of Gershon, the family of the Gershonites: of Kohath, the family of the Kohathites: of Merari, the family of the Merarites.

bbe@Numbers:27:1 @Then the daughters of Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of Manasseh, the son of Joseph, came forward: their names are Mahlah, Noah, and Hoglah, and Milcah, and Tirzah.

bbe@Numbers:27:2 @They came before Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs and all the people at the door of the Tent of meeting, and said,

bbe@Numbers:27:3 @Death overtook our father in the waste land; he was not among those who were banded together with Korah against the Lord; but death came to him in his sin; and he had no sons.

bbe@Numbers:27:4 @Why is the name of our father to be taken away from among his family, because he had no son? Give us a heritage among our father's brothers.

bbe@Numbers:27:8 @And say to the children of Israel, If a man has no son at the time of his death, let his heritage go to his daughter.

bbe@Numbers:27:14 @Because in the waste land of Zin, when the people were angry, you and he went against my word and did not keep my name holy before their eyes, at the waters. (These are the waters of Meribah in Kadesh in the waste land of Zin.)

bbe@Numbers:27:17 @To go out and come in before them and be their guide; so that the people of the Lord may not be like sheep without a keeper.

bbe@Numbers:27:19 @And take him before Eleazar the priest and all the meeting of the people, and give him his orders before their eyes.

bbe@Numbers:27:21 @He will take his place before Eleazar the priest, so that he may get directions from the Lord for him, with the Urim: at his word they will go out, and at his word they will come in, he and all the children of Israel.

bbe@Numbers:27:22 @So Moses did as the Lord said: he took Joshua and put him before Eleazar the priest and the meeting of the people:

bbe@Numbers:28:2 @Give orders to the children of Israel and say to them, Let it be your care to give me my offerings at their regular times, the food of the offerings made by fire to me for a sweet smell.

bbe@Numbers:28:5 @And the tenth part of an ephah of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with the fourth part of a hin of clear oil.

bbe@Numbers:28:6 @It is a regular burned offering, as it was ordered in Mount Sinai, for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:28:8 @Let the other lamb be offered at evening; like the meal offering of the morning and its drink offering, let it be offered as an offering made by fire for a sweet smell to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:28:9 @And on the Sabbath day, two he-lambs of the first year, without any mark, and two tenth parts of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with oil, and its drink offering:

bbe@Numbers:28:12 @And three tenth parts of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with oil, for every ox; and two tenth parts of the best meal for a meal offering mixed with oil, for the one sheep;

bbe@Numbers:28:13 @And a separate tenth part of the best meal mixed with oil for a meal offering for every lamb; for a burned offering of a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:28:18 @On the first day there is to be a holy meeting: you may do no sort of field-work:

bbe@Numbers:28:20 @And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil: let three tenth parts of an ephah be offered for an ox and two tenth parts for a male sheep;

bbe@Numbers:28:23 @These are to be offered in addition to the morning burned offering, which is a regular burned offering at all times.

bbe@Numbers:28:24 @In this way, every day for seven days, give the food of the offering made by fire, a sweet smell to the Lord: it is to be offered in addition to the regular burned offering, and its drink offering.

bbe@Numbers:28:25 @Then on the seventh day there will be a holy meeting; you may do no field-work.

bbe@Numbers:28:26 @And at the time of the first-fruits, when you give an offering of new meal to the Lord at your feast of weeks, there is to be a holy meeting: you may do no field-work:

bbe@Numbers:28:27 @And give a burned offering for a sweet smell to the Lord; two oxen, one male sheep, and seven he-lambs of the first year;

bbe@Numbers:28:28 @And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil, three tenth parts for an ox, two tenth parts for a male sheep,

bbe@Numbers:28:31 @These are in addition to the regular burned offering and its meal offering; take care that they are without any mark, and let them be offered with their drink offerings.

bbe@Numbers:29:1 @In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, let there be a holy meeting; on it you may do no field-work; let the day be marked by the blowing of horns;

bbe@Numbers:29:2 @And give to the Lord a burned offering for a sweet smell; one ox, one male sheep, seven he-lambs of the first year, without any mark on them:

bbe@Numbers:29:3 @And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil, three tenth parts for an ox, two tenth parts for a male sheep,

bbe@Numbers:29:6 @In addition to the burned offering of the new moon, and its meal offering, and the regular burned offering and its meal offering, and their drink offerings, as they are ordered, for a sweet smell, an offering made by fire to the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:29:7 @And on the tenth day of this seventh month there will be a holy meeting; keep yourselves from pleasure, and do no sort of work;

bbe@Numbers:29:8 @And give to the Lord a burned offering for a sweet smell; one ox, one male sheep, seven he-lambs of the first year: only those without any mark on them may be used:

bbe@Numbers:29:9 @And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil, three tenth parts for an ox, two tenth parts for a male sheep,

bbe@Numbers:29:11 @One he-goat for a sin-offering; in addition to the offering for taking away your sin, and the regular burned offering and its meal offering, and their drink offerings.

bbe@Numbers:29:12 @And on the fifteenth day of the seventh month let there be a holy meeting; do no field-work, and keep a feast to the Lord for seven days;

bbe@Numbers:29:13 @And give a burned offering, an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord, thirteen oxen, two male sheep, fourteen he-lambs of the first year, all without any mark on them;

bbe@Numbers:29:14 @And their meal offering, the best meal mixed with oil, three tenth parts for every one of the thirteen oxen, two tenth parts for every male sheep,

bbe@Numbers:29:16 @And one he-goat for a sin-offering; in addition to the regular burned offering, and its meal offering, and its drink offering.

bbe@Numbers:29:18 @And their meal offering and their drink offerings for the oxen and the sheep and the lambs, in relation to their number, as it is ordered:

bbe@Numbers:29:19 @And one he-goat for a sin-offering in addition to the regular burned offering, and its meal offering, and their drink offerings.

bbe@Numbers:29:21 @And their meal offering and drink offerings for the oxen, for the male sheep, and for the lambs, in relation to their number, as it is ordered:

bbe@Numbers:29:22 @And one he-goat for a sin-offering; in addition to the regular burned offering, and its meal offering, and its drink offering.

bbe@Numbers:29:24 @And their meal offering and their drink offerings for the oxen, for the male sheep, and for the lambs, in relation to their number, as it is ordered.

bbe@Numbers:29:25 @And one he-goat for a sin-offering; in addition to the regular burned offering, and its meal offering, and its drink offering.

bbe@Numbers:29:27 @And their meal offering and their drink offerings for the oxen, for the male sheep, and for the lambs, in relation to their number, as it is ordered:

bbe@Numbers:29:28 @And one he-goat for a sin-offering; in addition to the regular burned offering, and its meal offering, and its drink offering.

bbe@Numbers:29:31 @And one he-goat for a sin-offering; in addition to the regular burned offering, its meal offering, and its drink offerings.

bbe@Numbers:29:33 @And their meal offering and their drink offerings for the oxen, for the male sheep, and for the lambs, in relation to their number, as it is ordered:

bbe@Numbers:29:34 @And one he-goat for a sin-offering; in addition to the regular burned offering, its meal offering, and its drink offering.

bbe@Numbers:29:35 @On the eighth day let there be a holy meeting: you may do no field-work;

bbe@Numbers:29:36 @And give a burned offering, an offering made by fire of a sweet smell to the Lord: one ox, one male sheep, seven he-lambs of the first year, without any mark:

bbe@Numbers:29:37 @With the meal offering and the drink offerings for the ox, the male sheep, and the lambs, in relation to their number, as it is ordered:

bbe@Numbers:29:38 @And one he-goat for a sin-offering; in addition to the regular burned offering, and its meal offering, and its drink offering.

bbe@Numbers:30:6 @And if she is married to a husband at the time when she is under an oath or an undertaking given without thought;

bbe@Numbers:30:7 @If her husband, hearing of it, says nothing to her at the time, then the oaths she made and the undertakings she gave will have force.

bbe@Numbers:30:14 @But if the days go on, and her husband says nothing whatever to her, then he is giving the support of his authority to her oaths and undertakings, because at the time of hearing them he said nothing to her.

bbe@Numbers:30:15 @But if at some time after hearing of them, he makes them without force, then he is responsible for her wrongdoing.

bbe@Numbers:31:2 @Give the Midianites punishment for the wrong they did to the children of Israel: and after that you will go to rest with your people.

bbe@Numbers:31:3 @So Moses said to the people, Let men from among you be armed for war to put into effect against Midian the Lord's punishment on them.

bbe@Numbers:31:5 @So from the thousands of Israel a thousand were taken from every tribe, twelve thousand men armed for war.

bbe@Numbers:31:9 @The women of Midian with their little ones the children of Israel took prisoner; and all their cattle and flocks and all their goods they took for themselves;

bbe@Numbers:31:13 @Then Moses and Eleazar the priest and the chiefs of the people went out to them before they had come into the tent-circle.

bbe@Numbers:31:14 @And Moses was angry with the chiefs of the army, the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds who had come back from the war.

bbe@Numbers:31:15 @And Moses said to them, Why have you kept all the women safe?

bbe@Numbers:31:16 @It was these who, moved by Balaam, were the cause of Israel's sin against the Lord in the question of Peor, because of which disease came on the people of the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:31:18 @But all the female children who have had no sex relations with men, you may keep for yourselves.

bbe@Numbers:31:19 @You yourselves will have to keep outside the tent-circle for seven days, anyone of you who has put any person to death or come near a dead body; and on the third day and on the seventh day make yourselves and your prisoners clean.

bbe@Numbers:31:21 @Then Eleazar the priest said to the men of war who had been to the fight, This is the rule of the law which the Lord has given to Moses:

bbe@Numbers:31:24 @And on the seventh day, after washing your clothing, you will be clean, and then you may come into the tent-circle.

bbe@Numbers:31:27 @And let division be made of it into two parts, one for the men of war who went out to the fight, and one for all the people:

bbe@Numbers:31:28 @And from the men of war who went out let there be offered to the Lord one out of every five hundred, from the persons, and from the oxen and asses and sheep:

bbe@Numbers:31:32 @Now the beasts taken, in addition to what the fighting-men took for themselves, were six hundred and seventy-five thousand sheep,

bbe@Numbers:31:35 @And thirty-two thousand persons, that is, women who had never had sex relations with a man.

bbe@Numbers:31:36 @And the half given as their part to the men who went to the war, was three hundred and thirty-seven thousand, five hundred sheep,

bbe@Numbers:31:42 @And from the half given to the children of Israel, which Moses had kept separate from that given to the fighting-men,

bbe@Numbers:31:47 @Even from the children of Israel's half, Moses took one out of every fifty, men and beasts, and gave them to the Levites who had the care of the House of the Lord; as the Lord gave orders to Moses.

bbe@Numbers:31:48 @Then the men in authority over the thousands of the army, the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, came to Moses,

bbe@Numbers:31:49 @And said to him, Your servants have taken note of the number of all the fighting-men under our orders, and every one is present;

bbe@Numbers:31:50 @And we have here an offering for the Lord from what every man took in the war, ornaments of gold, leg-chains and arm-rings, finger-rings, ear-rings, and neck-ornaments, to make our souls free from sin before the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:31:51 @So Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold from them, even all the worked ornaments.

bbe@Numbers:31:52 @And the gold which the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds gave, as an offering to be lifted up before the Lord, came to sixteen thousand, seven hundred and fifty shekels.

bbe@Numbers:31:54 @Then Moses and Eleazar the priest took the gold given by the captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, and took it into the Tent of meeting, to be a sign in memory of the children of Israel before the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:32:2 @The children of Gad and the children of Reuben came and said to Moses and to Eleazar the priest and to the chiefs of the meeting,

bbe@Numbers:32:10 @And at that time the Lord was moved to wrath, and made an oath, saying,

bbe@Numbers:32:11 @Truly, not one of the men of twenty years old and over who came out of Egypt will see the land which I gave by oath to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; because they have not been true to me with all their heart;

bbe@Numbers:32:14 @And now you have come to take the place of your fathers, another generation of sinners, increasing the wrath of the Lord against Israel.

bbe@Numbers:32:16 @Then they came to him, and said, We will make safe places for our cattle here, and towns for our little ones;

bbe@Numbers:32:17 @But we ourselves will be ready armed to go before the children of Israel till we have taken them to their place: but our little ones will be safe in the walled towns against the people of the land.

bbe@Numbers:32:18 @We will not come back to our houses till every one of the children of Israel has come into his heritage.

bbe@Numbers:32:19 @For we will not have our heritage with them on the other side of Jordan and forward; because our heritage has come to us on this side of Jordan to the east.

bbe@Numbers:32:21 @Every armed man of you going across Jordan before the Lord till he has overcome and sent in flight all who are against him,

bbe@Numbers:32:22 @And the land is under the rule of the Lord: then after that you may come back, having done no wrong to the Lord and to Israel; and this land will be yours for your heritage before the Lord.

bbe@Numbers:32:27 @But your servants will go over, every man armed for war, before the Lord to the fight, as my lord says.

bbe@Numbers:32:29 @And Moses said to them, If the children of Gad and the children of Reuben go with you over Jordan, every man armed for the fight before the Lord, and all the land is given into your hands, then let them have the land of Gilead for a heritage:

bbe@Numbers:32:30 @But if they do not go over with you armed, they will have to take their heritage with you in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Numbers:32:32 @We will go over armed before the Lord into the land of Canaan, and you will give us our heritage on this side of Jordan.

bbe@Numbers:32:38 @And Nebo and Baal-meon, (their names being changed,) and Sibmah: and they gave other names to the towns they made.

bbe@Numbers:33:3 @On the fifteenth day of the first month they went out from Rameses; on the day after the Passover the children of Israel went out by the power of the Lord before the eyes of all the Egyptians,

bbe@Numbers:33:5 @So the children of Israel went from Rameses and put up their tents in Succoth.

bbe@Numbers:33:38 @And Aaron the priest went up into the mountain at the order of the Lord, and came to his death there, in the fortieth year after the children of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt, in the fifth month, on the first day of the month.

bbe@Numbers:33:39 @Aaron was a hundred and twenty-three years old at the time of his death in Mount Hor.

bbe@Numbers:33:40 @And news of the coming of the children of Israel came to the king of Arad, the Canaanite, who was living in the South in the land of Canaan.

bbe@Numbers:33:52 @See that all the people of the land are forced out from before you, and put to destruction all their pictured stones, and all their metal images, and all their high places:

bbe@Numbers:33:56 @And it will come about that as it was my purpose to do to them, so I will do to you.

bbe@Numbers:34:2 @Give orders to the children of Israel and say to them, When you come into the land of Canaan; (this is the land which is to be your heritage, the land of Canaan inside these limits,)

bbe@Numbers:34:17 @These are the names of the men who are to make the distribution of the land among you: Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun.

bbe@Numbers:34:19 @And these are the names of the men: of the tribe of Judah, Caleb, the son of Jephunneh.

bbe@Numbers:34:20 @And of the tribe of the children of Simeon, Shemuel, the son of Ammihud.

bbe@Numbers:35:5 @The measure of this space of land is to be two thousand cubits outside the town on the east, and two thousand cubits on the south and on the west and on the north, the town being in the middle. This space will be the outskirts of their towns.

bbe@Numbers:35:8 @And these towns are to be given out of the heritage of the children of Israel, taking the greater number from those who have much, and a smaller number from those who have little: everyone, in the measure of his heritage, is to give of his property to the Levites.

bbe@Numbers:35:12 @In these towns you may be safe from him who has the right of punishment; so that death may not overtake the taker of life till he has been judged by the meeting of the people.

bbe@Numbers:35:16 @But if a man gives another man a blow with an iron instrument, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:35:18 @Or if he gave him blows with a wood instrument in his hands, causing his death, he is a taker of life and is certainly to be put to death.

bbe@Numbers:35:19 @He whose right it is to give punishment for blood, may himself put to death the taker of life when he comes face to face with him.

bbe@Numbers:35:21 @Or in hate gave him blows with his hand, causing death; he who gave the death-blow is to be put to death; he is a taker of life: he whose right it is to give punishment for blood may put to death the taker of life when he comes face to face with him.

bbe@Numbers:35:22 @But if a man has given a wound to another suddenly and not in hate, or without design has sent something against him,

bbe@Numbers:35:24 @Then let the meeting of the people be judge between the man responsible for the death and him who has the right of punishment for blood, acting by these rules:

bbe@Numbers:35:25 @And let the people keep the man responsible for the death safe from the hands of him who has the right of punishment for blood, and send him back to his safe town where he had gone in flight: there let him be till the death of the high priest who was marked with the holy oil.

bbe@Numbers:35:27 @And the giver of punishment, meeting him outside the walls of the town, puts him to death, he will not be responsible for his blood:

bbe@Numbers:35:28 @Because he had been ordered to keep inside the safe town till the death of the high priest: but after the death of the high priest the taker of life may come back to the place of his heritage.

bbe@Numbers:35:32 @And no price may be offered for one who has gone in flight to a safe town, for the purpose of letting him come back to his place before the death of the high priest.

bbe@Numbers:35:33 @So do not make the land where you are living unholy: for blood makes the land unholy: and there is no way of making the land free from the blood which has come on it, but only by the death of him who was the cause of it.

bbe@Numbers:36:1 @Now the heads of the families of the children of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of Joseph, came to Moses, the chiefs and the heads of families of the children of Israel being present,

bbe@Numbers:36:3 @Now if they get married to any of the sons of other tribes of the children of Israel, then their property will be taken away from the heritage of our fathers, and become part of the heritage of the tribe into which they get married: and their heritage will be taken away from the heritage of our tribe.

bbe@Numbers:36:4 @And at the time of the Jubilee of the children of Israel, their property will be joined to the heritage of the tribe of which they are part and will be taken away from the heritage of the tribe of our fathers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:4 @After he had overcome Sihon, king of the Amorites, ruling in Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, ruling in Ashtaroth, at Edrei:

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:13 @Take for yourselves men who are wise, far-seeing, and respected among you, from your tribes, and I will make them rulers over you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:14 @And you made answer and said to me, It is good for us to do as you say.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:15 @So I took the heads of your tribes, wise men and respected, and made them rulers over you, captains of thousands and captains of hundreds and captains of fifties and captains of tens, and overseers of your tribes.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:16 @And at that time I gave orders to your judges, saying, Let all questions between your brothers come before you for hearing, and give decisions uprightly between a man and his brother or one from another nation who is with him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:17 @In judging, do not let a man's position have any weight with you; give hearing equally to small and great; have no fear of any man, for it is God who is judge: and any cause in which you are not able to give a decision, you are to put before me and I will give it a hearing.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:18 @And at that time I gave you all the orders which you were to do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:19 @Then we went on from Horeb, through all that great and cruel waste which you saw, on our way to the hill-country of the Amorites, as the Lord gave us orders; and we came to Kadesh-barnea.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:20 @And I said to you, You have come to the hill-country of the Amorites, which the Lord our God is giving us.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:22 @And you came near to me, every one of you, and said, Let us send men before us to go through the land with care and give us an account of the way we are to go and the towns to which we will come.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:23 @And what you said seemed good to me, and I took twelve men from among you, one from every tribe;

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:24 @And they went up into the hill-country and came to the valley of Eshcol, and saw what was there.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:25 @And taking in their hands some of the fruit of the land, they came down again to us, and gave us their account, saying, It is a good land which the Lord our God is giving us.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:31 @And in the waste land, where you have seen how the Lord was supporting you, as a man does his son, in all your journeying till you came to this place.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:37 @And, in addition, the Lord was angry with me because of you, saying, You yourself will not go into it:

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:39 @And your little ones, who, you said, would come into strange hands, your children, who now have no knowledge of good or evil, they will go into that land, and to them I will give it and it will be theirs.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:41 @Then you said to me, We have done evil against the Lord, we will go up to the attack, as the Lord our God has given us orders. And arming yourselves every one, you made ready to go up without care into the hill-country.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:42 @And the Lord said to me, Say to them, Do not go up to the attack; for I am not among you, and you will be overcome by those who are against you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:44 @And the Amorites who were in the hill-country came out against you and put you to flight, rushing after you like bees, and overcame you in Seir, driving you even as far as Hormah.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:45 @And you came back, weeping before the Lord; but the Lord gave no attention to your cries and did not give ear to you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:1:46 @So you were kept waiting in Kadesh for a long time.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:1 @Then we went back, journeying into the waste land by the way to the Red Sea, as the Lord had said to me: and we were a long time going round Mount Seir.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:2 @And the Lord said to me,

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:9 @And the Lord said to me, Make no attack on Moab and do not go to war with them, for I will not give you any of his land: because I have given Ar to the children of Lot for their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:11 @They are numbered among the Rephaim, like the Anakim; but are named Emim by the Moabites.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:12 @And the Horites in earlier times were living in Seir, but the children of Esau took their place; they sent destruction on them and took their land for themselves, as Israel did to the land of his heritage which the Lord gave them.)

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:14 @Thirty-eight years had gone by from the time when we came away from Kadesh-barnea till we went over the stream Zered; by that time all the generation of the men of war among us were dead, as the Lord had said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:16 @So when death had overtaken all the men of war among the people,

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:17 @The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:19 @And when you come near the land of the children of Ammon, give them no cause of trouble and do not make war on them, for I will not give you any of the land of the children of Ammon for your heritage: because I have given it to the children of Lot.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:20 @(That land is said to have been a land of the Rephaim, for Rephaim had been living there in earlier times, but they were named Zamzummim by the Ammonites;

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:23 @And the Avvim, living in the small towns as far as Gaza, came to destruction by the hands of the Caphtorim who came out from Caphtor and took their land.)

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:27 @Let me go through your land: I will keep to the highway, not turning to the right or to the left;

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:28 @Let me have food, at a price, for my needs, and water for drinking: only let me go through on foot;

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:29 @As the children of Esau did for me in Seir and the Moabites in Ar; till I have gone over Jordan into the land which the Lord our God is giving us.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:31 @And the Lord said to me, See, from now on I have given Sihon and his land into your hands: go forward now to take his land and make it yours.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:32 @Then Sihon came out against us with all his people, to make an attack on us at Jahaz.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:33 @And the Lord our God gave him into our hands; and we overcame him and his sons and all his people.

bbe@Deuteronomy:2:34 @At that time we took all his towns, and gave them over to complete destruction, together with men, women, and children; we had no mercy on any:

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:1 @Then turning we took the road to Bashan: and Og, king of Bashan, came out against us with all his people, and made an attack on us at Edrei.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:2 @And the Lord said to me, Have no fear of him: for I have given him and all his people and his land into your hands; do to him as you did to Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:3 @So the Lord our God gave up Og, king of Bashan, and all his people into our hands; and we overcame him so completely that all his people came to their end in the fight.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:4 @At that time we took all his towns; there was not one town of the sixty towns, all the country of Argob, the kingdom of Og in Bashan, which we did not take.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:6 @And we put them to the curse, every town together with men, women, and children.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:8 @At that time we took their land from the two kings of the Amorites on the far side of Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon;

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:9 @(By the Sidonians, Hermon is named Sirion, and by the Amorites Shenir;)

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:11 @(For Og, king of Bashan, was the last of all the Rephaim; his bed was made of iron; is it not in Rabbah, in the land of the children of Ammon? It was nine cubits long and four cubits wide, measured by the common cubit.)

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:12 @And this land which we took at that time, from Aroer by the valley of the Arnon, and half the hill-country of Gilead with its towns, I gave to the Reubenites and the Gadites.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:13 @The rest of Gilead and all Bashan, the kingdom of Og, all the land of Argob, together with Bashan, I gave to the half-tribe of Manasseh. (This land is named the land of the Rephaim.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:18 @At that time I gave you orders, saying, The Lord has given you this land for your heritage: all the men of war are to go over armed before your brothers the children of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:21 @And I gave orders to Joshua at that time, saying, Your eyes have seen what the Lord your God has done to these two kings: so will the Lord do to all the kingdoms into which you come.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:23 @And at that time I made request to the Lord, saying,

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:24 @O Lord God, you have now for the first time let your servant see your great power and the strength of your hand; for what god is there in heaven or on earth able to do such great works and such acts of power?

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:25 @Let me go over, O Lord, and see the good land on the other side of Jordan, and that fair mountain country, even Lebanon.

bbe@Deuteronomy:3:26 @But the Lord was angry with me because of you and would not give ear to my prayer; and the Lord said to me, Let it be enough, say no more about this thing.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:3 @Your eyes have seen what the Lord did because of Baal-peor: for destruction came from the Lord on all those among you who went after Baal-peor.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:9 @Only take care, and keep watch on your soul, for fear that the things which your eyes have seen go from your memory and from your heart all the days of your life; but let the knowledge of them be given to your children and to your children's children;

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:10 @That day when you were waiting before the Lord your God in Horeb, and the Lord said to me, Make all the people come together, so that hearing my words they may go in fear of me all the days of their life on earth and give this teaching to their children

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:11 @And you came near, waiting at the foot of the mountain; and flames of fire went up from the mountain to the heart of heaven, with dark clouds, and all was black as night.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:12 @And the voice of the Lord came to you out of the fire: the sound of his words came to your ears but you saw no form; there was nothing but a voice.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:13 @And he gave you his agreement with you, the ten rules which you were to keep, which he put in writing on the two stones of the law.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:14 @And the Lord gave me orders at that time to make clear to you these laws and decisions, so that you might do them in the land to which you are going, and which is to be your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:15 @So keep watch on yourselves with care; for you saw no form of any sort on the day when the voice of the Lord came to you in Horeb out of the heart of the fire:

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:19 @And when your eyes are lifted up to heaven, and you see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the army of heaven, do not let yourselves be moved to give them worship, or become the servants of what the Lord has given equally to all peoples under heaven.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:21 @And the Lord was angry with me because of you, and made an oath that I was not to go over Jordan into the good land which the Lord is giving you for your heritage:

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:22 @But death is to come to me in this land, I may not go over Jordan: but you will go over and take that good land for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:23 @Take care that you do not let the agreement of the Lord your God, which he has made with you, go out of your mind, or make for yourselves images of any sort, against the orders which the Lord your God has given you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:25 @If, when you have had children and children's children, and have been living a long time in the land, you are turned to evil ways, and make an image of any sort, and do evil in the eyes of the Lord your God, moving him to wrath:

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:26 @May heaven and earth be my witnesses against you today, that destruction will quickly overtake you, cutting you off from that land which you are going over Jordan to take; your days will not be long in that land, but you will come to a complete end.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:28 @There you will be the servants of gods, made by men's hands, of wood and stone, having no power of seeing or hearing or taking food or smelling.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:30 @When you are in trouble and all these things have come on you, if, in the future, you are turned again to the Lord your God, and give ear to his voice:

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:31 @Because the Lord your God is a God of mercy, he will not take away his help from you or let destruction overtake you, or be false to the agreement which he made by an oath with your fathers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:32 @Give thought now to the days which are past, before your time, from the day when God first gave life to man on the earth, and searching from one end of heaven to the other, see if such a great thing as this has ever been, or if anything like it has been talked of in story.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:34 @Has God ever before taken a nation for himself from out of another nation, by punishments and signs and wonders, by war and by a strong hand and a stretched-out arm and great acts of wonder and fear, as the Lord your God did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes?

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:36 @Out of heaven itself his voice came to you, teaching you; and on earth he let you see his great fire; and his words came to your ears out of the heart of the fire.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:43 @The names of the towns were Bezer in the waste land, in the table-land, for the Reubenites; and Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites; and Golan in Bashan for Manasseh.

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:45 @These are the rules and the laws and the decisions which Moses gave to the children of Israel after they came out of Egypt;

bbe@Deuteronomy:4:46 @On the far side of Jordan, in the valley facing Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, whom Moses and the children of Israel overcame after they had come out of Egypt:

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:2 @The Lord our God made an agreement with us in Horeb.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:3 @The Lord did not make this agreement with our fathers but with us, who are all living and present here today.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:4 @The word of the Lord came to you face to face on the mountain, out of the heart of the fire,

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:5 @(I was between the Lord and you at that time, to make clear to you the word of the Lord: because, through fear of the fire, you did not go up the mountain;) saying,

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:7 @You are to have no other gods but me.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:9 @You may not go down on your faces before them or give them worship: for I, the Lord your God, am a God who will not give his honour to another; and I will send punishment on the children for the wrongdoing of their fathers, to the third and fourth generation of my haters;

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:10 @And I will have mercy through a thousand generations on those who have love for me and keep my laws.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:11 @You are not to make use of the name of the Lord your God for an evil purpose; whoever takes the Lord's name on his lips for an evil purpose will be judged as a sinner by the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:22 @These words the Lord said to all of you together on the mountain, out of the heart of the fire, out of the cloud and the dark, with a great voice: and he said no more; he put them in writing on the two stones of the law and gave them to me.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:23 @And after hearing the voice which came out of the dark while the mountain was burning with fire, all the heads of your tribes and your chiefs came to me,

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:24 @And said, The Lord has let us see his glory and his power, and his voice has come to us out of the fire: today we have seen that a man may go on living even after hearing the voice of God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:25 @Why then is death to be our fate? For if the voice of the Lord our God comes to us any more, death will overtake us, and we will be burned up in this great fire.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:28 @Then the Lord, hearing your words to me, said to me, The words which this people have said to you have come to my ears: what they have said is well said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:29 @If only they had such a heart in them at all times, so that they might go in fear of me and keep my orders and that it might be well for them and for their children for ever!

bbe@Deuteronomy:5:31 @But as for you, keep your place here by me, and I will give you all the orders and the laws and the decisions which you are to make clear to them, so that they may do them in the land which I am giving them for their heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:1 @Now these are the orders and the laws and the decisions which the Lord your God gave me for your teaching, so that you might do them in the land of your heritage to which you are going:

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:13 @Let the fear of the Lord your God be in your hearts, and be his servants, taking your oaths by his name.

bbe@Deuteronomy:6:20 @And when your son says to you in time to come, What is the reason for these rules and laws and decisions which the Lord our God has given you?

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:2 @And when the Lord has given them up into your hands and you have overcome them, give them up to complete destruction: make no agreement with them, and have no mercy on them:

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:4 @For through them your sons will be turned from me to the worship of other gods: and the Lord will be moved to wrath against you and send destruction on you quickly.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:9 @Be certain, then, that the Lord your God is God; whose faith and mercy are unchanging, who keeps his word through a thousand generations to those who have love for him and keep his laws;

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:10 @Rewarding his haters to their face with destruction; he will have no mercy on his hater, but will give him open punishment.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:12 @And it will be, that if you give attention to these decisions and keep and do them, then the Lord will keep his agreement with you and his mercy, as he said in his oath to your fathers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:19 @The great punishments which your eyes saw, and the signs and the wonders and the strong hand and the stretched-out arm, by which the Lord your God took you out: so will the Lord your God do to all the peoples who are the cause of your fears.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:24 @He will give their kings into your hands, and you will put their names out of existence under heaven; there is not one of them who will not give way before you, till their destruction is complete.

bbe@Deuteronomy:7:26 @And you may not take a disgusting thing into your house, and so become cursed with its curse: but keep yourselves from it, turning from it with fear and hate, for it is a cursed thing.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:3 @And he made low your pride and let you be without food and gave you manna for your food, a thing new to you, which your fathers never saw; so that he might make it clear to you that bread is not man's only need, but his life is in every word which comes out of the mouth of the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:4 @Through all these forty years your clothing did not get old or your feet become tired.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:9 @Where there will be bread for you in full measure and you will be in need of nothing; a land where the very stones are iron and from whose hills you may get copper.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:15 @Who was your guide through that great and cruel waste, where there were poison-snakes and scorpions and a dry land without water; who made water come out of the hard rock for you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:17 @Say not then, in your hearts, My power and the strength of my hands have got me this wealth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:18 @But keep in mind the Lord your God: for it is he who gives you the power to get wealth, so that he may give effect to the agreement which he made by his oath with your fathers, as at this day

bbe@Deuteronomy:8:19 @And it is certain that if at any time you are turned away from the Lord your God, and go after other gods, to be their servants and to give them worship, destruction will overtake you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:4 @And after the Lord has sent them in flight from before you, say not in your heart, Because of my righteousness the Lord has given me this land; when it is because of their evil-doing that the Lord is driving these nations out before you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:7 @Keep well in mind how you made the Lord your God angry in the waste land; from the day when you went out of Egypt till you came to this place, you have gone against the orders of the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:9 @When I had gone up into the mountain to be given the stones on which was recorded the agreement which the Lord made with you, I was on the mountain for forty days and forty nights without taking food or drinking water.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:10 @And the Lord gave me the two stones with writing on them done by the finger of God: on them were recorded all the words which the Lord said to you on the mountain out of the heart of the fire, on the day of the great meeting.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:11 @Then at the end of forty days and forty nights the Lord gave me those stones, the stones of the agreement.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:12 @And the Lord said to me, Get up now, and go down quickly from this place; for the people you have taken out of Egypt have given themselves over to evil; they have quickly been turned from the way in which I gave them orders to go; they have made themselves a metal image.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:13 @And then the Lord said to me, I have seen that this people is stiff-necked:

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:14 @Let me send destruction on them till their very name is cut off; and I will make of you a nation greater and stronger than they.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:15 @So turning round I came down from the mountain, and the mountain was burning with fire; and the two stones of the agreement were in my hands.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:16 @And I saw that you had done evil against the Lord, and had made for yourselves a metal image of a young ox: you had quickly been turned from the way in which the Lord had given you orders to go.

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:20 @And the Lord, in his wrath, would have put Aaron to death: and I made prayer for Aaron at the same time

bbe@Deuteronomy:9:21 @And I took your sin, the image which you had made, and put it in the fire and had it hammered and crushed very small till it was only dust: and the dust I put in the stream flowing down from the mountain.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:1 @At that time the Lord said to me, Make two other stones, cut like the first two, and come up to me on the mountain, and make an ark of wood.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:4 @And he put on the stones, as in the first writing, the ten rules which the Lord gave you on the mountain out of the fire on the day of the great meeting: and the Lord gave the stones to me.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:5 @And turning round I came down from the mountain and put the stones in the ark which I had made; and there they are as the Lord gave me orders.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:6 @(And the children of Israel went on from Beeroth Bene-jaakan to Moserah: there death came to Aaron and he was put to rest in the earth; and Eleazar, his son, took his place as priest.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:8 @At that time the Lord had the tribe of Levi marked out to take up the ark of the Lord's agreement, to be before the Lord and to do his work and to give blessings in his name, to this day.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:10 @And I was in the mountain, as at the first time, for forty days and forty nights; and again the ears of the Lord were open to my prayer, and he did not send destruction on you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:11 @Then the Lord said to me, Get up and go on your journey before the people, so that they may go in and take the land which I said in my oath to their fathers that I would give them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:18 @Judging uprightly in the cause of the widow and of the child who has no father, and giving food and clothing in his mercy to the man from a strange country.

bbe@Deuteronomy:10:20 @Let the fear of the Lord your God be before you, give him worship and be true to him at all times, taking your oaths in his name.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:1 @So have love for the Lord your God, and give him worship, and keep his laws and his decisions and his orders at all times.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:4 @And what he did to the army of Egypt, to their horses and their war-carriages; how he made the waters of the Red Sea come up over them when they went after you, and how the Lord put an end to them even to this day;

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:5 @And what he did for you in the waste land, till you came to this place;

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:10 @For the land where you are going is not like the land of Egypt from which you have come, where you put in your seeds, watering them with your foot, like a planted garden:

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:12 @A land cared for by the Lord your God: the eyes of the Lord your God are on it at all times from one end of the year to the other.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:14 @Then I will send rain on your land at the right time, the early rains and the late rains, so that you may get in your grain and your wine and your oil.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:15 @And I will give grass in your fields for your cattle, so that you may have food in full measure.

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:16 @But take care that your hearts are not turned to false ways so that you become servants and worshippers of other gods;

bbe@Deuteronomy:11:17 @For if you do so, the wrath of the Lord will be burning against you, and the heaven will be shut up so that there is no rain and the land will give no fruit; and in a very little time you will be cut off from the good land which the Lord is giving you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:3 @Their altars and their pillars are to be broken down, and their holy trees burned with fire, and the images of their gods cut down; you are to take away their names out of that place.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:5 @But let your hearts be turned to the place which will be marked out by the Lord your God, among your tribes, to put his name there;

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:9 @For you have not come to the rest and the heritage which the Lord your God is giving you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:11 @Then there will be a place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place for his name, and there you will take all the things which I give you orders to take: your burned offerings and other offerings, and the tenth part of your goods, and the offerings to be lifted up, and the offerings of your oaths which you make to the Lord;

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:12 @And you will be glad before the Lord your God, you and your sons and your daughters, and your men-servants and your women-servants, and the Levite who is with you in your house, because he has no part or heritage among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:12:21 @If the place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place for his name is far away from you, then take from your herds and from your flocks which the Lord has given you, as I have said, and have a meal of it in the towns where you may be living.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:1 @If ever you have among you a prophet or a dreamer of dreams and he gives you a sign or a wonder,

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:3 @Then give no attention to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams: for the Lord your God is testing you, to see if all the love of your heart and soul is given to him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:5 @And that prophet or that dreamer of dreams is to be put to death; for his words were said with the purpose of turning you away from the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt and made you free from the prison-house; and of forcing you out of the way in which the Lord your God has given you orders to go. So you are to put away the evil from among you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:8 @Do not be guided by him or give attention to him; have no pity on him or mercy, and give him no cover;

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:12 @And if word comes to you, in one of the towns which the Lord your God is giving you for your resting-place,

bbe@Deuteronomy:13:17 @Keep not a thing of what is cursed for yourselves: so the Lord may be turned away from the heat of his wrath, and have mercy on you, and give you increase as he said in his oath to your fathers:

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:6 @Any beast which has a division in the horn of its foot and whose food comes back into its mouth to be crushed again, may be used for food.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:7 @But even among these, there are some which may not be used for food: such as the camel, the hare, and the coney, which are unclean to you, because, though their food comes back, the horn of their feet is not parted in two.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:8 @And the pig is unclean to you, because though it has a division in the horn of its foot, its food does not come back; their flesh may not be used for food or their dead bodies touched by you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:9 @And of the things living in the waters, you may take all those who have wings for swimming with and skins formed of thin plates.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:21 @You may not have as food anything which has come to a natural death; the man from another country who is living with you may take it for food, or you may get a price for it from one of another nation; for you are a holy people to the Lord your God.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:23 @And make a feast before the Lord your God, in the place which is to be marked out, where his name will be for ever, of the tenth part of your grain and your wine and your oil, and the first births of your herds and your flocks; so that you may have the fear of the Lord your God in your hearts at all times.

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:24 @And if the way is so long that you are not able to take these things to the place marked out by the Lord your God for his name, when he has given you his blessing, because it is far away from you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:14:29 @And the Levite, because he has no part or heritage in the land, and the man from a strange country, and the child who has no father, and the widow, who are living among you, will come and take food and have enough; and so the blessing of the Lord your God will be on you in everything you do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:3 @A man of another nation may be forced to make payment of his debt, but if your brother has anything of yours, let it go;

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:7 @If in any of your towns in the land which the Lord your God is giving you, there is a poor man, one of your countrymen, do not let your heart be hard or your hand shut to him;

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:11 @For there will never be a time when there are no poor in the land; and so I give orders to you, Let your hand be open to your countrymen, to those who are poor and in need in your land.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:12 @If one of your countrymen, a Hebrew man or woman, becomes your servant for a price and does work for you six years, in the seventh year let him go free.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:14 @But give him freely from your flock and from your grain and your wine: in the measure of the wealth which the Lord your God has given you, you are to give to him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:17 @Then take a sharp-pointed instrument, driving it through his ear into the door, and he will be your servant for ever. And you may do the same for your servant-girl.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:18 @Let it not seem hard to you that you have to send him away free; for he has been working for you for six years, which is twice the regular time for a servant: and the blessing of the Lord your God will be on you in everything you do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:19 @All the first males to come to birth in your herd and your flock are to be holy to the Lord your God: the first birth of your ox is not to be used for work, the wool of your first lamb is not to be cut

bbe@Deuteronomy:15:20 @But year by year you and all your house are to take a meal of it before the Lord, in the place of his selection.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:2 @The Passover offering, from your flock or your herd, is to be given to the Lord your God in the place marked out by him as the resting-place of his name.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:3 @Take no leavened bread with it; for seven days let your food be unleavened bread, that is, the bread of sorrow; for you came out of the land of Egypt quickly: so the memory of that day, when you came out of the land of Egypt, will be with you all your life.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:6 @But in the place marked out by the Lord your God as the resting-place of his name, there you are to put the Passover to death in the evening, at sundown, at that time of the year when you came out of Egypt.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:8 @For six days let your food be unleavened bread; and on the seventh day there is to be a holy meeting to the Lord your God; no work is to be done.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:11 @Then you are to be glad before the Lord your God, you and your son and your daughter, your man-servant and your woman-servant, and the Levite who is with you, and the man from a strange country, and the child without a father, and the widow, who are living among you, in the place marked out by the Lord your God as a resting-place for his name.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:16 @Three times in the year let all your males come before the Lord your God in the place named by him; at the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tents: and they are not to come before the Lord with nothing in their hands;

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:17 @Every man is to give as he is able, in the measure of the blessing which the Lord your God has given you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:16:18 @You are to make judges and overseers in all your towns which the Lord your God gives you, for every tribe: and they are to be upright men, judging the people in righteousness.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:2 @If there is any man or woman among you, in any of the towns which the Lord your God gives you, who does evil in the eyes of the Lord your God, sinning against his agreement,

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:9 @And come before the priests, the Levites, or before him who is judge at the time: and they will go into the question and give you a decision:

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:10 @And you are to be guided by the decision they give in the place named by the Lord, and do whatever they say:

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:11 @Acting in agreement with their teaching and the decision they give: not turning to one side or the other from the word they have given you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:14 @When you have come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, and have taken it for a heritage and are living in it, if it is your desire to have a king over you, like the other nations round about you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:15 @Then see that you take as your king the man named by the Lord your God: let your king be one of your countrymen, not a man of another nation who is not one of yourselves.

bbe@Deuteronomy:17:20 @So that his heart may not be lifted up over his countrymen, and he may not be turned away from the orders, to one side or the other: but that his life and the lives of his children may be long in his kingdom in Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:2 @And they will have no heritage among their countrymen: the Lord is their heritage, as he has said to them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:5 @For he, and his sons after him for ever, have been marked out by the Lord your God from all your tribes, to do the work of priests in the name of the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:6 @And if a Levite, moved by a strong desire, comes from any town in all Israel where he is living to the place marked out by the Lord;

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:7 @Then he will do the work of a priest in the name of the Lord his God, with all his brothers the Levites who are there before the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:9 @When you have come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, do not take as your example the disgusting ways of those nations.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:15 @The Lord your God will give you a prophet from among your people, like me; you will give ear to him;

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:17 @Then the Lord said to me, What they have said is well said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:19 @And whoever does not give ear to my words which he will say in my name, will be responsible to me.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:20 @But the prophet who takes it on himself to say words in my name which I have not given him orders to say, or who says anything in the name of other gods, will come to his death.

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:21 @And if you say in your hearts, How are we to be certain that the word does not come from the Lord?

bbe@Deuteronomy:18:22 @When a prophet makes a statement in the name of the Lord, if what he says does not take place and his words do not come true, then his word is not the word of the Lord: the words of the prophet were said in the pride of his heart, and you are to have no fear of him.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:5 @For example, if a man goes into the woods with his neighbour for the purpose of cutting down trees, and when he takes his axe to give a blow to the tree, the head of the axe comes off, and falling on to his neighbour gives him a wound causing his death; then the man may go in flight to one of these towns and be safe:

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:6 @For if not, he who has the right of punishment may go running after the taker of life in the heat of his wrath, and overtake him because the way is long, and give him a death-blow; though it is not right for him to be put to death because he was not moved by hate.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:12 @The responsible men of his town are to send and take him, and give him up to the one who has the right of punishment to be put to death.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:13 @Have no pity on him, so that Israel may be clear from the crime of putting a man to death without cause, and it will be well for you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:14 @Your neighbour's landmark, which was put in its place by the men of old times, is not to be moved or taken away in the land of your heritage which the Lord your God is giving you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:15 @One witness may not make a statement against a man in relation to any sin or wrongdoing which he has done: on the word of two or three witnesses a question is to be judged.

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:16 @If a false witness makes a statement against a man, saying that he has done wrong,

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:17 @Then the two men, between whom the argument has taken place, are to come before the Lord, before the priests and judges who are then in power;

bbe@Deuteronomy:19:18 @And the judges will have the question looked into with care: and if the witness is seen to be false and to have made a false statement against his brother,

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:1 @When you go out to war against other nations, and come face to face with horses and war-carriages and armies greater in number than yourselves, have no fear of them: for the Lord your God is with you, who took you up out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:2 @And when you are on the point of attacking, let the priest come forward and say to the people,

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:3 @Give ear, O Israel: today you are going forward to the fight; let your heart be strong; do not let uncontrolled fear overcome you because of those who are against you;

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:8 @And let the overseers go on to say to the people, If there is any man whose heart is feeble with fear, let him go back to his house before he makes the hearts of his countrymen feeble.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:10 @When you come to a town, before attacking it, make an offer of peace.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:13 @And when the Lord your God has given it into your hands, let every male in it be put to death without mercy.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:14 @But the women and the children and the cattle and everything in the town and all its wealth, you may take for yourselves: the wealth of your haters, which the Lord your God has given you, will be your food.

bbe@Deuteronomy:20:19 @If in war a town is shut in by your armies for a long time, do not let its trees be cut down and made waste; for their fruit will be your food; are the trees of the countryside men for you to take up arms against them?

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:1 @If, in the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you come across the dead body of a man in the open country, and you have no idea who has put him to death:

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:2 @Then your responsible men and your judges are to come out, and give orders for the distance from the dead body to the towns round about it to be measured;

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:3 @And whichever town is nearest to the body, the responsible men of that town are to take from the herd a young cow which has never been used for work or put under the yoke;

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:5 @Then the priests, the sons of Levi, are to come near; for they have been marked out by the Lord your God to be his servants and to give blessings in the name of the Lord; and by their decision every argument and every blow is to be judged:

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:8 @Have mercy, O Lord, on your people Israel whom you have made free, and take away from your people the crime of a death without cause. Then they will no longer be responsible for the man's death.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:9 @So you will take away the crime of a death without cause from among you, when you do what is right in the eyes of the Lord.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:18 @If a man has a son who is hard-hearted and uncontrolled, who gives no attention to the voice of his father and mother, and will not be ruled by them, though they give him punishment:

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:19 @Then let his father and mother take him to the responsible men of the town, to the public place;

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:21 @Then he is to be stoned to death by all the men of the town: so you are to put away the evil from among you; and all Israel, hearing of it, will be full of fear.

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:22 @If a man does a crime for which the punishment is death, and he is put to death by hanging him on a tree;

bbe@Deuteronomy:21:23 @Do not let his body be on the tree all night, but put it to rest in the earth the same day; for the man who undergoes hanging is cursed by God; so do not make unclean the land which the Lord your God is giving you for your heritage.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:23 @If a young virgin has given her word to be married to a man, and another man meeting her in the town, has connection with her;

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:25 @But if the man, meeting such a virgin in the open country, takes her by force, then only the man is to be put to death;

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:26 @Nothing is to be done to the virgin, because there is no cause of death in her: it is the same as if a man made an attack on his neighbour and put him to death:

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:27 @For he came across her in the open country, and there was no one to come to the help of the virgin in answer to her cry.

bbe@Deuteronomy:22:29 @Then the man will have to give the virgin's father fifty shekels of silver and make her his wife, because he has put shame on her; he may never put her away all his life.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:67 @In the morning you will say, If only it was evening! And at evening you will say, If only morning would come! Because of the fear in your hearts and the things which your eyes will see.

bbe@Deuteronomy:28:68 @And the Lord will take you back to Egypt again in ships, by the way of which I said to you, You will never see it again: there you will be offering yourselves as men-servants and women-servants to your haters for a price, and no man will take you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:1 @These are the words of the agreement which Moses was ordered by the Lord to make with the children of Israel in the land of Moab, in addition to the agreement which he made with them in Horeb.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:5 @For forty years I have been your guide through the waste land: your clothing has not become old on your backs, or your shoes on your feet.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:7 @When you came to this place, Sihon, king of Heshbon, and Og, king of Bashan, came out to make war against us and we overcame them:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:9 @So keep the words of this agreement and do them, so that it may be well for you in everything you do.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:10 @You have come here today, all of you, before the Lord your God; the heads of your tribes, the overseers, and those who are in authority over you, with all the men of Israel,

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:11 @And your little ones, your wives, and the men of other lands who are with you in your tents, down to the wood-cutter and the servant who gets water for you:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:12 @With the purpose of taking part in the agreement of the Lord your God, and his oath which he makes with you today:

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:14 @And not with you only do I make this agreement and this oath;

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:16 @(For you have in mind how we were living in the land of Egypt; and how we came through all the nations which were on your way;

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:20 @The Lord will have no mercy on him, but the wrath of the Lord will be burning against that man, and all the curses recorded in this book will be waiting for him, and the Lord will take away his name completely from the earth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:21 @He will be marked out by the Lord, from all the tribes of Israel, for an evil fate, in keeping with all the curses of the agreement recorded in this book of the law.

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:22 @And future generations, your children coming after you, and travellers from far countries, will say, when they see the punishments of that land and the diseases which the Lord has sent on it;

bbe@Deuteronomy:29:25 @Then men will say, Because they gave up the agreement of the Lord, the God of their fathers, which he made with them when he took them out of the land of Egypt:

bbe@Deuteronomy:30:1 @Now when all these things have come on you, the blessing and the curse which I have put before you, if the thought of them comes back to your minds, when you are living among the nations where the Lord your God has sent you,

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:2 @Then he said to them, I am now a hundred and twenty years old; I am no longer able to go out and come in: and the Lord has said to me, You are not to go over Jordan.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:9 @Then Moses put all this law in writing, and gave it to the priests, the sons of Levi, who take up the ark of the Lord's agreement, and to all the responsible men of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:10 @And Moses said to them, At the end of every seven years, at the time fixed for the ending of debts, at the feast of tents,

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:11 @When all Israel has come before the Lord your God in the place named by him, let a reading be given of this law in the hearing of all Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:12 @Make all the people come together, men and women and children, and anyone from another country who is with you, so that hearing they may become wise in the fear of the Lord your God, and take care to do all the words of this law;

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:14 @At that time the Lord said to Moses, The day of your death is near: send for Joshua, and come to the Tent of meeting so that I may give him his orders. So Moses and Joshua went to the Tent of meeting.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:16 @And the Lord said to Moses, Now you are going to rest with your fathers; and this people will be false to me, uniting themselves to the strange gods of the land where they are going; they will be turned away from me and will not keep the agreement I have made with them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:17 @In that day my wrath will be moved against them, and I will be turned away from them, veiling my face from them, and destruction will overtake them, and unnumbered evils and troubles will come on them; so that in that day they will say, Have not these evils come on us because our God is not with us?

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:19 @Make then this song for yourselves, teaching it to the children of Israel: put it in their mouths, so that this song may be a witness for me against the children of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:20 @For when I have taken them into the land named in my oath to their fathers, a land flowing with milk and honey, and they have made themselves full of food and are fat, then they will be turned to other gods and will give them worship, no longer honouring me or keeping my agreement.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:21 @Then when evils and troubles without number have overtaken them, this song will be a witness to them, for the words of it will be clear in the memories of their children: for I see the thoughts which are moving in their hearts even now, before I have taken them into the land of my oath

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:22 @So that same day Moses made this song, teaching it to the children of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:25 @Moses said to the Levites who were responsible for taking up the ark of the Lord's agreement,

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:26 @Take this book of the law and put it by the ark of the Lord's agreement, so that it may be a witness against you.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:28 @Get together before me all those who are in authority in your tribes, and your overseers, so that I may say these things in their hearing, and make heaven and earth my witnesses against them.

bbe@Deuteronomy:31:30 @Then in the hearing of all the meeting of Israel, Moses said the words of this song, to the end.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:3 @For I will give honour to the name of the Lord: let our God be named great.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:5 @They have become false, they are not his children, the mark of sin is on them; they are an evil and hard-hearted generation.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:7 @Keep in mind the days of the past, give thought to the years of generations gone by: go to your father and he will make it clear to you, to the old men and they will give you the story.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:8 @When the Most High gave the nations their heritage, separating into groups the children of men, he had the limits of the peoples marked out, keeping in mind the number of the children of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:10 @He came to him in the waste land, in the unpeopled waste of sand: putting his arms round him and caring for him, he kept him as the light of his eye.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:15 @But Jeshurun became fat and would not be controlled: you have become fat, you are thick and full of food: then he was untrue to the God who made him, giving no honour to the Rock of his salvation.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:17 @They made offerings to evil spirits which were not God, to gods who were strange to them, which had newly come up, not feared by your fathers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:18 @You have no thought for the Rock, your father, you have no memory of the God who gave you birth.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:21 @They have given my honour to that which is not God, moving me to wrath with their false worship: I will give their honour to those who are not a people, moving them to wrath by a foolish nation,

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:24 @They will be wasted from need of food, and overcome by burning heat and bitter destruction; and the teeth of beasts I will send on them, with the poison of the worms of the dust.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:26 @I said I would send them wandering far away, I would make all memory of them go from the minds of men:

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:30 @How would it be possible for one to overcome a thousand, and two to send ten thousand in flight, if their rock had not let them go, if the Lord had not given them up?

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:35 @Punishment is mine and reward, at the time of the slipping of their feet: for the day of their downfall is near, sudden will be their fate.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:38 @Who took the fat of their offerings, and the wine of their drink offering? Let them now come to your help, let them be your salvation.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:39 @See now, I myself am he; there is no other god but me: giver of death and life, wounding and making well: and no one has power to make you free from my hand.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:41 @If I make sharp my shining sword, and my hand is outstretched for judging, I will give punishment to those who are against me, and their right reward to my haters.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:43 @Be glad, O you his people, over the nations; for he will take payment for the blood of his servants, and will give punishment to his haters, and take away the sin of his land, for his people.

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:48 @That same day the Lord said to Moses,

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:50 @And let death come to you on the mountain where you are going, and be put to rest with your people; as death came to Aaron, your brother, on Mount Hor, where he was put to rest with his people:

bbe@Deuteronomy:32:51 @Because of your sin against me before the children of Israel at the waters of Meribath Kadesh in the waste land of Zin; because you did not keep my name holy among the children of Israel.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:2 @He said, The Lord came from Sinai, dawning on them from Seir; shining out from Mount Paran, coming from Meribath Kadesh: from his right hand went flames of fire: his wrath made waste the peoples.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:5 @And there was a king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel came together.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:6 @Let life not death be Reuben's, let not the number of his men be small.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:8 @And of Levi he said, Give your Thummim to Levi and let the Urim be with your loved one, whom you put to the test at Massah, with whom you were angry at the waters of Meribah;

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:9 @Who said of his father, Who is he? and of his mother, I have not seen her; he kept himself separate from his brothers and had no knowledge of his children: for they have given ear to your word and kept your agreement.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:10 @They will be the teachers of your decisions to Jacob and of your law to Israel: the burning of perfumes before you will be their right, and the ordering of burned offerings on your altar.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:12 @And of Benjamin he said, Benjamin is the loved one of the Lord, he will be kept safe at all times; he will be covered by the Most High, resting between his arms.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:16 @The good things of the earth and all its wealth, the good pleasure of him who was seen in the burning tree: may they come on the head of Joseph, on the head of him who was prince among his brothers.

bbe@Deuteronomy:33:19 @They will send out the word for the people to come to the mountain, taking there the offerings of righteousness: for the store of the seas will be theirs, and the secret wealth of the sand.

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:5 @So death came to Moses, the servant of the Lord, there in the land of Moab, as the Lord had said.

bbe@Deuteronomy:34:7 @And Moses at his death was a hundred and twenty years old: his eye had not become clouded, or his natural force become feeble.

bbe@Joshua:1:1 @Now after the death of Moses, the servant of the Lord, the word of the Lord came to Joshua, the son of Nun, Moses' helper, saying,

bbe@Joshua:1:14 @Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle will be kept here in the land which Moses gave you on this side of Jordan; but you, the fighting-men, are to go over before your brothers, armed, to give them help;

bbe@Joshua:2:1 @Then Joshua, the son of Nun, sent two men from Shittim secretly, with the purpose of searching out the land, and Jericho. So they went and came to the house of a loose woman of the town, named Rahab, where they took their rest for the night.

bbe@Joshua:2:2 @And it was said to the king of Jericho, See, some men have come here tonight from the children of Israel with the purpose of searching out the land.

bbe@Joshua:2:3 @Then the king of Jericho sent to Rahab, saying, Send out the men who have come to you and are in your house; for they have come with the purpose of searching out all the land.

bbe@Joshua:2:4 @And the woman took the two men and put them in a secret place; then she said, Yes, the men came to me, but I had no idea where they came from;

bbe@Joshua:2:5 @And when it was the time for shutting the doors at dark, they went out; I have no idea where the men went: but if you go after them quickly, you will overtake them.

bbe@Joshua:2:7 @So the men went after them on the road to Jordan as far as the river-crossing: and when they had gone out after them, the door into the town was shut.

bbe@Joshua:2:8 @And before the men went to rest, she came up to them on the roof,

bbe@Joshua:2:9 @And said to them, It is clear to me that the Lord has given you the land, and that the fear of you has come on us;

bbe@Joshua:2:10 @For we have had news of how the Lord made the Red Sea dry before you when you came out of Egypt; and what you did to the two kings of the Amorites, on the other side of Jordan, to Sihon and Og, whom you gave up to the curse.

bbe@Joshua:2:11 @And because of this news, our hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in any of us because of you; for the Lord your God is God in heaven on high and here on earth.

bbe@Joshua:2:12 @So now, will you give me your oath by the Lord, that, because I have been kind to you, you will be kind to my father's house,

bbe@Joshua:2:13 @And that you will keep safe my father and mother and my brothers and sisters and all they have, so that death may not come on us?

bbe@Joshua:2:14 @And the men said to her, Our life for yours if you keep our business secret; and when the Lord has given us the land, we will keep faith and be kind to you.

bbe@Joshua:2:16 @And she said to them, Get away into the hill-country, or the men who have gone after you will overtake you; keep yourselves safe there for three days, till the searchers have come back, and then go on your way.

bbe@Joshua:2:17 @And the men said to her, We will only be responsible for this oath which you have made us take,

bbe@Joshua:2:18 @If, when we come into the land, you put this cord of bright red thread in the window from which you let us down; and get your father and mother and your brothers and all your family into the house;

bbe@Joshua:2:19 @Then if anyone goes out of your house into the street, his blood will be on his head, we will not be responsible; but if any damage comes to anyone in the house, his blood will be on our heads.

bbe@Joshua:2:22 @And they went into the hill-country and were there three days, till the men who had gone after them had come back; and those who went after them were searching for them everywhere without coming across them.

bbe@Joshua:2:23 @Then the two men came down from the hill-country and went over and came back to Joshua, the son of Nun; and they gave him a complete account of what had taken place.

bbe@Joshua:2:24 @And they said to Joshua, Truly, the Lord has given all the land into our hands; and all the people of the land have become like water because of us.

bbe@Joshua:3:1 @Then Joshua got up early in the morning, and, moving on from Shittim, he and all the children of Israel came to Jordan and were there for the night before going over.

bbe@Joshua:3:2 @And at the end of three days, the men in authority over the people went through the tents,

bbe@Joshua:3:3 @Giving the people their orders, and saying, When you see the ark of the agreement of the Lord your God lifted up by the priests, the Levites, then get up from your places and go after it;

bbe@Joshua:3:4 @But let there be a space between you and it of about two thousand cubits: come no nearer to it, so that you may see the way you have to go, for you have not been over this way before.

bbe@Joshua:3:6 @Then Joshua said to the priests, Take up the ark of the agreement and go over in front of the people. So they took up the ark of the agreement and went in front of the people.

bbe@Joshua:3:8 @And you are to give orders to the priests who take up the ark of the agreement, and say, When you come to the edge of the waters of Jordan, go no further.

bbe@Joshua:3:9 @And Joshua said to the children of Israel, Come to me here: and give ear to the words of the Lord your God.

bbe@Joshua:3:11 @See, the ark of the agreement of the Lord of all the earth is going over before you into Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:3:12 @So take twelve men out of the tribes of Israel, a man from every tribe.

bbe@Joshua:3:13 @And when the feet of the priests who take up the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, come to rest in the waters of Jordan, the waters of Jordan will be cut off, all the waters flowing down from higher up, and will come together in a mass.

bbe@Joshua:3:14 @So when the people went out from their tents to go over Jordan, the priests who took up the ark of the agreement were in front of the people;

bbe@Joshua:3:15 @And when those who took up the ark came to Jordan, and the feet of the priests who took up the ark were touching the edge of the water (for the waters of Jordan are overflowing all through the time of the grain-cutting),

bbe@Joshua:3:16 @Then the waters flowing down from higher up were stopped and came together in a mass a long way back at Adam, a town near Zarethan; and the waters flowing down to the sea of the Arabah, the Salt Sea, were cut off: and the people went across opposite Jericho.

bbe@Joshua:3:17 @And the priests who took up the ark of the agreement of the Lord kept their places, with their feet on dry land in the middle of Jordan, while all Israel went over on dry land, till all the nation had gone over Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:4:1 @Now when all the nation had come to the other side of Jordan, the Lord said to Joshua,

bbe@Joshua:4:2 @Take twelve men from the people, a man for every tribe,

bbe@Joshua:4:4 @So Joshua sent for the twelve men, whom he had ready, one man out of every tribe of the children of Israel,

bbe@Joshua:4:6 @So that this may be a sign among you; when your children say to you in time to come, What is the reason for these stones?

bbe@Joshua:4:7 @Then you will say to them, Because the waters of Jordan were cut off before the ark of the Lord's agreement; when it went over Jordan the waters of Jordan were cut off: and these stones will be a sign for the children of Israel, keeping it in their memory for ever.

bbe@Joshua:4:9 @And Joshua put up twelve stones in the middle of Jordan, where the feet of the priests who took up the ark of the agreement had been placed: and there they are to this day.

bbe@Joshua:4:11 @And when all the people had come to the other side, the ark of the Lord went over, and the priests, before the eyes of the people.

bbe@Joshua:4:12 @And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh went over armed before the children of Israel as Moses had said to them:

bbe@Joshua:4:13 @About forty thousand armed for war went over before the Lord to the fight, to the lowlands of Jericho.

bbe@Joshua:4:16 @Give orders to the priests who take up the ark of witness, to come up out of Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:4:17 @So Joshua gave orders to the priests, saying, Come up now out of Jordan.

bbe@Joshua:4:18 @And when the priests who took up the ark of the Lord's agreement came up out of Jordan and their feet came out on to dry land, the waters of Jordan went back to their place, overflowing its edges as before.

bbe@Joshua:4:19 @So on the tenth day of the first month the people came up out of Jordan, and put up their tents in Gilgal, on the east side of Jericho.

bbe@Joshua:4:21 @And he said to the children of Israel, When your children say to their fathers in time to come, What is the reason for these stones?

bbe@Joshua:4:22 @Then give your children the story, and say, Israel came over this river Jordan on dry land.

bbe@Joshua:5:1 @Now when the news came to all the kings of the Amorites on the west side of Jordan, and all the kings of the Canaanites living by the sea, how the Lord had made the waters of Jordan dry before the children of Israel, till they had gone across, their hearts became like water, and there was no more spirit in them, because of the children of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:5:2 @At that time the Lord said to Joshua, Make yourself stone knives and give the children of Israel circumcision a second time.

bbe@Joshua:5:4 @And this is the reason why Joshua did so: all the males of the people who came out of Egypt, all the fighting-men, had been overtaken by death in the waste land on the way, after they came out of Egypt.

bbe@Joshua:5:5 @All the people who came out had undergone circumcision; but all the people whose birth had taken place in the waste land on their journey from Egypt had not.

bbe@Joshua:5:6 @For the children of Israel were wandering in the waste land for forty years, till all the nation, that is, all the fighting-men, who had come out of Egypt, were dead, because they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord: to whom the Lord said, with an oath, that he would not let them see the land which the Lord had given his word to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

bbe@Joshua:5:7 @And their children, who came up in their place, now underwent circumcision by the hands of Joshua, not having had it before: for there had been no circumcision on the journey.

bbe@Joshua:5:9 @And the Lord said to Joshua, Today the shame of Egypt has been rolled away from you. So that place was named Gilgal, to this day.

bbe@Joshua:5:11 @And on the day after the Passover, they had for their food the produce of the land, unleavened cakes and dry grain on the same day.

bbe@Joshua:5:14 @And he said, No; but I have come as captain of the armies of the Lord. Then Joshua, falling down with his face to the earth in worship, said, What has my lord to say to his servant?

bbe@Joshua:6:2 @And the Lord said to Joshua, See, I have given into your hands Jericho with its king and all its men of war.

bbe@Joshua:6:3 @Now let all your fighting-men make a circle round the town, going all round it once. Do this for six days.

bbe@Joshua:6:4 @And let seven priests go before the ark with seven loud-sounding horns in their hands: on the seventh day you are to go round the town seven times, the priests blowing their horns.

bbe@Joshua:6:5 @And at the sound of a long note on the horns, let all the people give a loud cry; and the wall of the town will come down flat, and all the people are to go straight forward.

bbe@Joshua:6:6 @Then Joshua, the son of Nun, sent for the priests and said to them, Take up the ark of the agreement, and let seven priests take seven horns in their hands and go before the ark of the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:6:7 @And he said to the people, Go forward, circling the town, and let the armed men go before the ark of the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:6:8 @So after Joshua had said this to the people, the seven priests with their seven horns went forward before the Lord, blowing on their horns: and the ark of the Lord's agreement went after them.

bbe@Joshua:6:9 @And the armed men went before the priests who were blowing the horns, and the mass of the people went after the ark, blowing their horns.

bbe@Joshua:6:13 @And the seven priests with their seven horns went on before the ark of the Lord, blowing their horns: the armed men went before them, and the mass of the people went after the ark of the Lord, blowing their horns.

bbe@Joshua:6:15 @Then on the seventh day they got up early, at the dawn of the day, and went round the town in the same way, but that day they went round it seven times.

bbe@Joshua:6:16 @And the seventh time, at the sound of the priests' horns, Joshua said to the people, Now give a loud cry; for the Lord has given you the town.

bbe@Joshua:6:17 @And the town will be put to the curse, and everything in it will be given to the Lord: only Rahab, the loose woman, and all who are in the house with her, will be kept safe, because she kept secret the men we sent.

bbe@Joshua:6:18 @And as for you, keep yourselves from the cursed thing, for fear that you may get a desire for it and take some of it for yourselves, and so be the cause of a curse and great trouble on the tents of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:6:19 @But all the silver and gold and the vessels of brass and iron are holy to the Lord: they are to come into the store-house of the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:6:20 @So the people gave a loud cry, and the horns were sounded; and on hearing the horns the people gave a loud cry, and the wall came down flat, so that the people went up into the town, every man going straight before him, and they took the town.

bbe@Joshua:6:21 @And they put everything in the town to the curse; men and women, young and old, ox and sheep and ass, they put to death without mercy.

bbe@Joshua:6:22 @Then Joshua said to the two men who had been sent to make a search through the land, Go into the house of the loose woman, and get her out, and all who are with her, as you gave her your oath.

bbe@Joshua:6:25 @But Joshua kept Rahab, the loose woman, and her father's family and all she had, from death, and so she got a living-place among the children of Israel to this day; because she kept safe the men whom Joshua had sent to make a search through the land.

bbe@Joshua:7:2 @Now Joshua sent men from Jericho to Ai, which is by the side of Beth-aven, on the east side of Beth-el, and said to them, Go up and make a search through the land. And the men went up and saw how Ai was placed.

bbe@Joshua:7:3 @Then they came back to Joshua and said to him, Do not send all the people up, but let about two or three thousand men go up and make an attack on Ai; there is no need for all the people to be tired with the journey there, for it is only a small town.

bbe@Joshua:7:4 @So about three thousand of the people went up, and were sent in flight by the men of Ai.

bbe@Joshua:7:5 @The men of Ai put to death about thirty-six of them, driving them from before the town as far as the stoneworks, and overcoming them on the way down: and the hearts of the people became like water.

bbe@Joshua:7:9 @For when the news comes to the Canaanites and all the people of the land, they will come up, shutting us in and cutting off our name from the earth: and what will you do for the honour of your great name?

bbe@Joshua:7:11 @Israel has done wrong, sinning against the agreement which I made with them: they have even taken of the cursed thing; acting falsely like thieves they have put it among their goods.

bbe@Joshua:7:14 @So in the morning you are to come near, tribe by tribe; and the tribe marked out by the Lord is to come near, family by family; and the family marked out by the Lord is to come near, house by house; and the house marked out by the Lord is to come near, man by man.

bbe@Joshua:7:15 @Then the man who is taken with the cursed thing is to be burned, with everything which is his; because he has gone against the agreement of the Lord and has done an act of shame in Israel.

bbe@Joshua:7:16 @So Joshua got up early in the morning, and made Israel come before him by their tribes; and the tribe of Judah was taken;

bbe@Joshua:7:17 @Then he made Judah come forward, and the family of the Zerahites was taken; and he made the family of the Zerahites come forward man by man; and Zabdi was taken;

bbe@Joshua:7:18 @Then the house of Zabdi came forward man by man, and Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken.

bbe@Joshua:7:19 @And Joshua said to Achan, My son, give glory and praise to the Lord, the God of Israel; give me word now of what you have done, and keep nothing back from me.

bbe@Joshua:7:21 @When I saw among their goods a fair robe of Babylon and two hundred shekels of silver, and a mass of gold, fifty shekels in weight, I was overcome by desire and took them; and they are put away in the earth in my tent, and the silver is under it.

bbe@Joshua:7:22 @So Joshua sent men quickly, and looking in his tent, they saw where the robe had been put away secretly with the silver under it.

bbe@Joshua:7:23 @And they took them from the tent and came back with them to Joshua and the children of Israel, and put them before the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:7:26 @And over him they put a great mass of stones, which is there to this day; then the heat of the Lord's wrath was turned away. So that place was named, The Valley of Achor, to this day.

bbe@Joshua:8:1 @Then the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear and do not be troubled: take with you all the fighting-men and go up against Ai: for I have given into your hands the king of Ai and his people and his town and his land:

bbe@Joshua:8:3 @So Joshua and the fighting-men got ready to go up against Ai; and Joshua took thirty thousand men of war, and sent them out by night.

bbe@Joshua:8:5 @And I and all the people with me will come near the town, and when they come out against us as they did before, we will go in flight from them;

bbe@Joshua:8:6 @And they will come out after us, till we have got them away from the town; for they will say, They have gone in flight from us as before; so we will go in flight before them;

bbe@Joshua:8:11 @And all the fighting-men who were with him went up and came near the town, and took up a position on the north side of Ai facing the town, with a valley between him and the town.

bbe@Joshua:8:12 @And taking about five thousand men, he put them in position for a surprise attack on the west side of Ai, between Beth-el and Ai.

bbe@Joshua:8:15 @Then Joshua and all Israel, acting as if they were overcome before them, went in flight by way of the waste land.

bbe@Joshua:8:16 @And all the people in Ai came together to go after them; and they went after Joshua, moving away from the town.

bbe@Joshua:8:19 @Then the secret force came quickly from their place, and running forward when they saw his hand stretched out, went into the town and took it, and put fire to it straight away.

bbe@Joshua:8:20 @Then the men of Ai, looking back, saw the smoke of the town going up to heaven, and were unable to go this way or that: and the people who had gone in flight to the waste land were turned back on those who were coming after them.

bbe@Joshua:8:21 @And when Joshua and all Israel saw that the town had been taken by the surprise attack, and that the smoke of the town had gone up, turning round they overcame the men of Ai.

bbe@Joshua:8:22 @Then the other force came out of the town against them, so that they were being attacked on this side and on that: and Israel overcame them and let not one of them get away with his life.

bbe@Joshua:8:24 @Then, after the destruction of all the people of Ai in the field and in the waste land where they went after them, and when all the people had been put to death without mercy, all Israel went back to Ai, and put to death all who were in it without mercy.

bbe@Joshua:8:25 @On that day twelve thousand were put to death, men and women, all the people of Ai.

bbe@Joshua:8:28 @So Joshua gave Ai to the flames, and made it a waste mass of stones for ever, as it is to this day.

bbe@Joshua:8:31 @In the way ordered by Moses, the servant of the Lord, as it is recorded in the book of the law of Moses, an altar of uncut stones, untouched by any iron instrument: and on it they made burned offerings and peace-offerings to the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:8:33 @And all Israel, those who were Israelites by birth, as well as the men from other lands living with them, and their responsible men and their overseers and judges, took their places round the ark, in front of the priests, the Levites, whose work it was to take up the ark of the Lord's agreement; half of them were stationed in front of Mount Gerizim and half in front of Mount Ebal, in agreement with the orders for the blessing of the children of Israel which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had given.

bbe@Joshua:8:35 @Reading to all the meeting of Israel, with the women and the children and the men from other lands who were living among them, every word of the orders which Moses had given.

bbe@Joshua:9:2 @Came together with one purpose, to make war against Joshua and Israel.

bbe@Joshua:9:3 @And the men of Gibeon, hearing what Joshua had done to Jericho and Ai,

bbe@Joshua:9:6 @And they came to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, and said to him and to the men of Israel, We have come from a far country: so now make an agreement with us.

bbe@Joshua:9:7 @And the men of Israel said to the Hivites, It may be that you are living among us; how then may we make an agreement with you?

bbe@Joshua:9:8 @And they said to Joshua, We are your servants. Then Joshua said to them, Who are you and where do you come from?

bbe@Joshua:9:9 @And they said to him, Your servants have come from a very far country, because of the name of the Lord your God: for the story of his great name, and of all he did in Egypt has come to our ears,

bbe@Joshua:9:11 @So the responsible men and all the people of our country said to us, Take food with you for the journey and go to them, and say to them, We are your servants: so now make an agreement with us.

bbe@Joshua:9:12 @This bread which we have with us for our food, we took warm and new from our houses when starting on our journey to you; but now see, it has become dry and broken up.

bbe@Joshua:9:13 @And these wine-skins were new when we put the wine in them, and now they are cracked as you see; and our clothing and our shoes have become old because of our very long journey here.

bbe@Joshua:9:14 @And the men took some of their food, without requesting directions from the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:9:15 @So Joshua made peace with them, and made an agreement with them that they were not to be put to death: and the chiefs of the people took an oath to them.

bbe@Joshua:9:16 @Now three days after, when they had made this agreement with them, they had word that these men were their neighbours, living near them.

bbe@Joshua:9:17 @And the children of Israel went forward on their journey, and on the third day came to their towns. Now their towns were Gibeon and Chephirah and Beeroth and Kiriath-jearim.

bbe@Joshua:9:20 @This is what we will do to them: we will not put them to death, for fear that wrath may come on us because of our oath to them

bbe@Joshua:9:24 @And, answering Joshua, they said, Because it came to the ears of your servants that the Lord your God had given orders to his servant Moses to give you all this land, and to send destruction on all the people living in it, because of you; so, fearing greatly for our lives because of you, we have done this.

bbe@Joshua:10:1 @Now when it came to the ears of Adoni-zedek, king of Jerusalem, that Joshua had taken Ai, and had given it up to the curse (for as he had done to Jericho and its king, so he had done to Ai and its king); and that the people of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were living among them;

bbe@Joshua:10:2 @He was in great fear, because Gibeon was a great town, like one of the king's towns, greater than Ai, and all the men in it were men of war.

bbe@Joshua:10:4 @Come up to me and give me help, and let us make an attack on Gibeon: for they have made peace with Joshua and the children of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:10:6 @And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua to the tent-circle at Gilgal, saying, Be not slow to send help to your servants; come up quickly to our support and keep us safe: for all the kings of the Amorites from the hill-country have come together against us.

bbe@Joshua:10:7 @So Joshua went up from Gilgal with all his army and all his men of war.

bbe@Joshua:10:9 @So Joshua, having come up from Gilgal all night, made a sudden attack on them

bbe@Joshua:10:13 @And the sun was at rest and the moon kept its place till the nation had given punishment to their attackers. (Is it not recorded in the book of Jashar?) So the sun kept its place in the middle of the heavens, and was waiting, and did not go down, for the space of a day.

bbe@Joshua:10:18 @And Joshua said, Let great stones be rolled against the mouth of the hole, and let men keep watch by it:

bbe@Joshua:10:20 @Now when Joshua and the children of Israel had come to the end of their war of complete destruction, and had put to death all but a small band who had got safely into the walled towns,

bbe@Joshua:10:22 @Then Joshua said, Take away the stones from the mouth of the hole in the rock, and make those five kings come out to me.

bbe@Joshua:10:23 @And they did so, and made those five kings come out of the hole to him, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon.

bbe@Joshua:10:24 @And when they had made those kings come out to Joshua, Joshua sent for all the men of Israel, and said to the chiefs of the men of war who had gone with him, Come near and put your feet on the necks of these kings. So they came near and put their feet on their necks.

bbe@Joshua:10:28 @That day Joshua took Makkedah, and put it and its king to the sword; every soul in it he gave up to the curse without mercy: and he did to the king of Makkedah as he had done to the king of Jericho.

bbe@Joshua:10:29 @Then Joshua and all Israel with him went on from Makkedah and came to Libnah, and made an attack on it;

bbe@Joshua:10:32 @And the Lord gave Lachish into the hands of Israel, and on the second day he took it, putting it and every person in it to the sword without mercy, as he had done to Libnah.

bbe@Joshua:10:33 @Then Horam, king of Gezer, came up to the help of Lachish; and Joshua overcame him and his people, putting all of them to death.

bbe@Joshua:10:40 @So Joshua overcame all the land, the hill-country and the South and the lowland and the mountain slopes, and all their kings; all were put to death: and every living thing he gave up to the curse, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had given him orders.

bbe@Joshua:10:41 @Joshua overcame them from Kadesh-barnea to Gaza, and all the land of Goshen as far as Gibeon.

bbe@Joshua:10:42 @And all these kings and their land Joshua took at the same time, because the Lord, the God of Israel, was fighting for Israel.

bbe@Joshua:11:5 @And all these kings came together, and put their forces in position at the waters of Merom, to make war on Israel.

bbe@Joshua:11:6 @And the Lord said to Joshua, Have no fear of them: for tomorrow at this time I will give them all up dead before Israel; you are to have the leg-muscles of their horses cut and their war-carriages burned with fire.

bbe@Joshua:11:7 @So Joshua and all the men of war with him came against them suddenly at the waters of Merom, and made an attack on them.

bbe@Joshua:11:8 @And the Lord gave them up into the hands of Israel, and they overcame them driving them back to great Zidon and to Misrephoth-maim and into the valley of Mizpeh to the east; and they put them all to death, no man got away safely.

bbe@Joshua:11:10 @At that time, Joshua went on to take Hazor and put its king to the sword: for in earlier times Hazor was the chief of all those kingdoms.

bbe@Joshua:11:11 @And they put every person in it to death without mercy, giving every living thing up to the curse, and burning Hazor

bbe@Joshua:11:14 @And all the goods taken from these towns, and their cattle, the children of Israel kept for themselves; but every man they put to death without mercy, till their destruction was complete, and there was no one living.

bbe@Joshua:11:17 @From Mount Halak, which goes up to Seir, as far as Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon under Mount Hermon: and all their kings he overcame and put to death.

bbe@Joshua:11:18 @For a long time Joshua made war on all those kings.

bbe@Joshua:11:20 @For the Lord made them strong in heart to go to war against Israel, so that he might give them up to the curse without mercy, and that destruction might come on them, as the Lord had given orders to Moses.

bbe@Joshua:11:21 @And Joshua came at that time and put an end to the Anakim in the hill-country, in Hebron, in Debir, in Anab, and in all the hill-country of Judah and Israel: Joshua gave them and their towns to the curse.

bbe@Joshua:11:22 @Not one of the Anakim was to be seen in the land of the children of Israel: only in Gaza, in Gath, and in Ashdod, some were still living.

bbe@Joshua:12:1 @Now these are the kings of the land whom the children of Israel overcame, taking as their heritage their land on the east side of Jordan, from the valley of the Arnon to Mount Hermon, and all the Arabah to the east:

bbe@Joshua:12:6 @Moses, the servant of the Lord, and the children of Israel overcame them; and Moses, the servant of the Lord, gave their land for a heritage to the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half-tribe of Manasseh.

bbe@Joshua:12:7 @And these are the kings of the land whom Joshua and the children of Israel overcame on the west side of Jordan, from Baal-gad in the valley of Lebanon to Mount Halak, which goes up to Seir; and Joshua gave the land to the tribes of Israel for a heritage, in keeping with their divisions;

bbe@Joshua:12:20 @The king of Shimron-meron, one; the king of Achshaph, one;

bbe@Joshua:12:21 @The king of Taanach, one; the king of Megiddo, one;

bbe@Joshua:12:22 @The king of Kedesh, one; the king of Jokneam in Carmel, one;

bbe@Joshua:13:4 @On the south: all the land of the Canaanites, and Mearah which is the property of the Zidonians, to Aphek, as far as the limit of the Amorites:

bbe@Joshua:13:9 @From Aroer, on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the town in the middle of the valley, and all the table-land from Medeba to Dibon;

bbe@Joshua:13:12 @All the kingdom of Og in Bashan, who was ruling in Ashtaroth and in Edrei (he was one of the last of the Rephaim); these did Moses overcome, driving them out of their country.

bbe@Joshua:13:16 @Their limit was from Aroer, on the edge of the valley of the Arnon, and the town in the middle of the valley, and all the table-land by Medeba;

bbe@Joshua:13:17 @Heshbon and all her towns in the table-land; Dibon, and Bamoth-baal, and Beth-baal-meon;

bbe@Joshua:13:18 @And Jahaz, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath;

bbe@Joshua:13:21 @And all the towns of the table-land, and all the kingdom of Sihon, king of the Amorites, who was ruling in Heshbon, whom Moses overcame, together with the chiefs of Midian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, the chiefs of Sihon, who were living in the land.

bbe@Joshua:14:6 @Then the children of Judah went to Joshua in Gilgal; and Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, said to him, You have knowledge of what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God, about me and about you in Kadesh-barnea.

bbe@Joshua:14:7 @I was forty years old when Moses, the servant of the Lord, sent me from Kadesh-barnea to make a search through the land; and the account which I gave him was in keeping with his desire.

bbe@Joshua:14:8 @My brothers, however, who went up with me, made the heart of the people like water: but I was true to the Lord with all my heart.

bbe@Joshua:14:9 @And on that day Moses took an oath, saying, Truly the land where your feet have been placed will become a heritage for you and your children for ever, because you have been true to the Lord your God with all your heart.

bbe@Joshua:14:10 @And now, as you see, the Lord has kept me safe these forty-five years, from the time when the Lord said this to Moses, while Israel was wandering in the waste land: and now I am eighty-five years old.

bbe@Joshua:14:11 @And still, I am as strong today as I was when Moses sent me out: as my strength was then, so is it now, for war and for all the business of life.

bbe@Joshua:14:12 @So now, give me this hill-country named by the Lord at that time; for you had an account of it then, how the Anakim were there, and great walled towns: it may be that the Lord will be with me, and I will be able to take their land, as the Lord said.

bbe@Joshua:14:14 @So Hebron became the heritage of Caleb, the son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite, to this day, because with all his heart he was true to the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@Joshua:14:15 @In earlier times the name of Hebron had been Kiriath-arba, named after Arba, the greatest of the Anakim. And the land had rest from war.

bbe@Joshua:15:7 @Then the line goes up to Debir from the valley of Achor, and so to the north, in the direction of Gilgal, which is opposite the slope up to Adummim, on the south side of the river: and the line goes on to the waters of En-shemesh, ending at En-rogel:

bbe@Joshua:15:10 @Then turning west, the line goes from Baalah to Mount Seir, and on to the side of Mount Jearim (which is Chesalon) on the north, then down to Beth-shemesh, and on past Timnah:

bbe@Joshua:15:13 @And to Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, he gave a part among the children of Judah, as the Lord had given orders to Joshua, that is, Kiriath-arba, named after Arba, the father of Anak which is Hebron.

bbe@Joshua:15:15 @From there he went up against the people of Debir: (now the name of Debir before that was Kiriath-sepher.)

bbe@Joshua:15:16 @And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.

bbe@Joshua:15:18 @Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?

bbe@Joshua:15:19 @And she said, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in dry south-land, now give me springs of water

bbe@Joshua:15:55 @Maon, Carmel, and Ziph, and Jutah;

bbe@Joshua:16:6 @The line goes out to the west at Michmethath on the north; then turning to the east to Taanath-shiloh, going past it on the east of Janoah;

bbe@Joshua:17:3 @But Zelophehad, the son of Hepher, the son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of Manasseh, had no sons, but only daughters; and these are the names of his daughters: Mahlah, and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah.

bbe@Joshua:17:4 @And they came before Eleazar the priest, and Joshua, the son of Nun, and before the chiefs, saying, The Lord gave orders to Moses to give us a heritage among our brothers: so in agreement with the orders of the Lord he gave them a heritage among their father's brothers.

bbe@Joshua:17:7 @And the limit of Manasseh's land was from Asher to Michmethath, which is before Shechem; the line goes on to the right hand, to the people of En-tappuah.

bbe@Joshua:17:11 @In Issachar and Asher, Manasseh had Beth-shean and its daughter-towns, and Ibleam and its daughter-towns, and the people of Dor and its daughter-towns, and the people of En-dor and its daughter-towns, and the people of Taanach and its daughter-towns, and the people of Megiddo and its daughter-towns, that is, the three hills.

bbe@Joshua:17:13 @And when the children of Israel had become strong, they put the Canaanites to forced work, in place of driving them out.

bbe@Joshua:17:14 @Then the children of Joseph said to Joshua, Why have you given me only one part and one stretch of land for my heritage? For through the blessing given to me by the Lord up to now, I am a great people.

bbe@Joshua:18:1 @And all the meeting of the children of Israel came together at Shiloh and put up the Tent of meeting there: and the land was crushed before them.

bbe@Joshua:18:4 @Take from among you three men from every tribe; and I will send them to go through the land and make a record of it for distribution as their heritage; then let them come back to me.

bbe@Joshua:18:6 @And you are to have the land marked out in seven parts, and come back to me with the record; and I will make the distribution for you here by the decision of the Lord our God.

bbe@Joshua:18:8 @So the men got up and went; and Joshua gave orders to those who went, to make a record of the land, saying, Go up and down through the land, and make a record of it and come back here to me, and I will make the distribution for you here by the decision of the Lord in Shiloh.

bbe@Joshua:18:9 @So the men went, travelling through the land, and made a record of it by towns in seven parts in a book, and came back to Joshua to the tent-circle at Shiloh.

bbe@Joshua:18:11 @And the first heritage came out for the tribe of Benjamin by their families: and the limit of their heritage went between the children of Judah and the children of Joseph.

bbe@Joshua:18:17 @And it goes to En-shemesh and on to Geliloth, opposite the way up to Adummim, and it goes down to the stone of Bohan, the son of Reuben;

bbe@Joshua:18:21 @And the towns of the children of Benjamin, given to them in the order of their families, are Jericho and Beth-hoglah and Emek-kezziz

bbe@Joshua:19:1 @And the second heritage came out for the tribe of Simeon by their families; and their heritage was in the middle of the heritage of the children of Judah.

bbe@Joshua:19:8 @And all the unwalled places round about these towns as far as Baalath-beer-ramah to the south. This is the heritage of the tribe of Simeon by their families.

bbe@Joshua:19:9 @The heritage of Simeon was taken out of Judah's stretch of land, for Judah's part was more than they had need of, so the heritage of the children of Simeon was inside their heritage.

bbe@Joshua:19:10 @And the third heritage came out for Zebulun by their families; the limit of their heritage was as far as Sarid;

bbe@Joshua:19:17 @For Issachar the fourth heritage came out, for the children of Issachar by their families;

bbe@Joshua:19:21 @And Remeth and En-gannim and En-haddah and Beth-pazzez;

bbe@Joshua:19:22 @And their limit goes as far as Tabor and Shahazimah and Beth-shemesh, ending at Jordan; sixteen towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:24 @And the fifth heritage came out for the tribe of Asher by their families.

bbe@Joshua:19:26 @And Alammelech and Amad and Mishal, stretching to Carmel on the west and Shihor-libnath;

bbe@Joshua:19:27 @Turning to the east to Beth-dagon and stretching to Zebulun and the valley of Iphtah-el as far as Beth-emek and Neiel to the north; on the left it goes as far as Cabul

bbe@Joshua:19:32 @For the children of Naphtali the sixth heritage came out, for the children of Naphtali by their families;

bbe@Joshua:19:38 @And Iron and Migdal-el, Horem and Beth-anath and Beth-shemesh; nineteen towns with their unwalled places.

bbe@Joshua:19:40 @For the tribe of Dan by their families the seventh heritage came out;

bbe@Joshua:19:41 @And the limit of their heritage was Zorah and Eshtaol and Ir-shemesh

bbe@Joshua:19:47 @(But the limit of the children of Dan was not wide enough for them; so the children of Dan went up and made war on Leshem and took it, putting it to the sword without mercy, and they took it for their heritage and made a place for themselves there, giving it the name of Leshem-dan, after the name of their father, Dan.)

bbe@Joshua:19:51 @These are the heritages which Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel gave out at Shiloh, by the decision of the Lord, at the door of the Tent of meeting. So the distribution of the land was complete.

bbe@Joshua:20:3 @So that any man who in error and without design has taken the life of another, may go in flight to them: and they will be safe places for you from him who has the right of punishment for blood.

bbe@Joshua:20:4 @And if anyone goes in flight to one of those towns, and comes into the public place of the town, and puts his cause before the responsible men of the town, they will take him into the town and give him a place among them where he may be safe.

bbe@Joshua:20:5 @And if the one who has the right of punishment comes after him, they are not to give the taker of life up to him; because he was the cause of his neighbour's death without designing it and not in hate.

bbe@Joshua:20:6 @And he is to go on living in that town till he has to come before the meeting of the people to be judged; (till the death of him who is high priest at that time:) then the taker of life may come back to his town and to his house, to the town from which he had gone in flight.

bbe@Joshua:20:9 @These were the towns marked out for all the children of Israel and for the man from a strange country living among them, so that anyone causing the death of another in error, might go in flight there, and not be put to death by him who has the right of punishment for blood till he had come before the meeting of the people.

bbe@Joshua:21:1 @Then the heads of the families of the Levites came to Eleazar the priest and Joshua, the son of Nun, and to the heads of families of the tribes of the children of Israel;

bbe@Joshua:21:4 @And the heritage came out for the families of the Kohathites: the children of Aaron the priest, who were of the Levites, were given thirteen towns from the tribes of Judah, Simeon, and Benjamin.

bbe@Joshua:21:7 @The children of Merari by their families were given twelve towns from the tribes of Reuben and Gad and Zebulun.

bbe@Joshua:21:9 @From the tribes of the children of Judah and the children of Simeon they gave these towns, listed here by name:

bbe@Joshua:21:10 @These were for the children of Aaron among the families of the Kohathites, of the children of Levi: for they came first in the distribution.

bbe@Joshua:21:16 @And Ain, and Juttah, and Beth-shemesh, with their grass-lands; nine towns from those two tribes.

bbe@Joshua:21:34 @And to the rest of the Levites, that is, the families of the children of Merari, they gave from the tribe of Zebulun, Jokneam and Kartah with their grass-lands;

bbe@Joshua:21:37 @Kedemoth and Mephaath with their grass-lands, four towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:40 @All these towns were given to the children of Merari by their families, that is, the rest of the families of the Levites; and their heritage was twelve towns.

bbe@Joshua:21:43 @So the Lord gave to Israel all the land which he gave by oath to their fathers; so it became their heritage and their living-place.

bbe@Joshua:21:45 @The Lord kept faith with the house of Israel about all the good which he said he would do for them, and all his words came true.

bbe@Joshua:22:3 @You have now been with your brothers for a long time; till this day you have been doing the orders of the Lord your God.

bbe@Joshua:22:10 @Now when they came to the country by Jordan in the land of Canaan, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh put up there, by Jordan, a great altar, seen from far.

bbe@Joshua:22:11 @And news came to the children of Israel, See, the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh have put up an altar opposite the land of Canaan, in the country by Jordan on the side which is Israel's.

bbe@Joshua:22:12 @Then all the meeting of the children of Israel, hearing this, came together at Shiloh to go up against them to war.

bbe@Joshua:22:15 @And they came to the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the half-tribe of Manasseh, to the land of Gilead, and said to them,

bbe@Joshua:22:16 @This is what all the meeting of the people of the Lord has said, What is this wrong which you have done against the God of Israel, turning back this day from the Lord and building an altar for yourselves, and being false to the Lord?

bbe@Joshua:22:17 @Was not the sin of Baal-peor great enough, from which we are not clear even to this day, though punishment came on the people of the Lord,

bbe@Joshua:22:19 @But if the land you now have is unclean, come over into the Lord's land where his House is, and take up your heritage among us: but do not be false to the Lord and to us by building yourselves an altar in addition to the altar of the Lord our God.

bbe@Joshua:22:20 @Did not Achan, the son of Zerah, do wrong about the cursed thing, causing wrath to come on all the people of Israel? And not on him only came the punishment of death.

bbe@Joshua:22:23 @That we have made ourselves an altar, being false to the Lord, keep us not safe from death this day; and if for the purpose of offering burned offerings on it and meal offerings, or peace-offerings, let the Lord himself send punishment for it;

bbe@Joshua:22:24 @And if we have not, in fact, done this designedly and with purpose, having in our minds the fear that in time to come your children might say to our children, What have you to do with the Lord, the God of Israel?

bbe@Joshua:22:27 @But to be a witness between us and you, and between the future generations, that we have the right of worshipping the Lord with our burned offerings and our offerings of beasts and our peace-offerings; so that your children will not be able to say to our children in time to come, You have no part in the Lord.

bbe@Joshua:22:29 @Never let it be said that we were false to the Lord, turning back this day from him and building an altar for burned offerings and meal offerings and offerings of beasts, in addition to the altar of the Lord our God which is before his House.

bbe@Joshua:22:30 @Then Phinehas the priest and the chiefs of the meeting and the heads of the families of Israel who were with him, hearing what the children of Reuben and the children of Gad and the children of Manasseh said, were pleased.

bbe@Joshua:22:32 @Then Phinehas, the son of Eleazar the priest, and the chiefs went back from the land of Gilead, from the children of Reuben and the children of Gad, and came to the children of Israel in Canaan and gave them the news.

bbe@Joshua:22:34 @And the children of Reuben and the children of Gad gave to that altar the name of Ed. For, they said, It is a witness between us that the Lord is God.

bbe@Joshua:23:1 @Now after a long time, when the Lord had given Israel rest from wars on every side, and Joshua was old and full of years,

bbe@Joshua:23:2 @Joshua sent for all Israel, for their responsible men and their chiefs and their judges and their overseers, and said to them, I am old, and full of years:

bbe@Joshua:23:4 @Now I have given to you, as the heritage of your tribes, all these nations which are still in the land, together with those cut off by me, from Jordan as far as the Great Sea on the west.

bbe@Joshua:23:7 @Have nothing to do with these nations who still are living among you; let not their gods be named by you or used in your oaths; do not be their servants or give them worship:

bbe@Joshua:23:13 @Then you may be certain that the Lord your God will not go on driving these nations out from before you; but they will become a danger and a cause of sin to you, a whip for your sides and thorns in your eyes, till you are cut off from this good land which the Lord your God has given you.

bbe@Joshua:23:14 @Now I am about to go the way of all the earth: and you have seen and are certain, all of you, in your hearts and souls, that in all the good things which the Lord said about you, he has kept faith with you; everything has come true for you.

bbe@Joshua:23:15 @And you will see that, as all the good things which the Lord your God undertook to do for you, have come to you, so the Lord will send down on you all the evil things till he has made your destruction complete, and you are cut off from the good land which the Lord your God has given you.

bbe@Joshua:23:16 @If the agreement of the Lord your God, which was given to you by his orders, is broken, and you become the servants of other gods and give them worship, then the wrath of the Lord will be burning against you, and you will quickly be cut off from the good land which he has given you.

bbe@Joshua:24:1 @Then Joshua got all the tribes of Israel together at Shechem; and he sent for the responsible men of Israel and their chiefs and their judges and their overseers; and they took their place before God.

bbe@Joshua:24:6 @I took your fathers out of Egypt: and you came to the Red Sea; and the Egyptians came after your fathers to the Red Sea, with their war-carriages and their horsemen.

bbe@Joshua:24:7 @And at their cry, the Lord made it dark between you and the Egyptians, and made the sea go over them, covering them with its waters; your eyes have seen what I did in Egypt: then for a long time you were living in the waste land.

bbe@Joshua:24:11 @Then you went over Jordan and came to Jericho: and the men of Jericho made war on you, the Amorites and the Perizzites and the Canaanites and the Hittites and the Girgashites and the Hivites and the Jebusites: and I gave them up into your hands.

bbe@Joshua:24:13 @And I gave you a land on which you had done no work, and towns not of your building, and you are now living in them; and your food comes from vine-gardens and olive-gardens not of your planting.

bbe@Joshua:24:19 @And Joshua said to the people, You are not able to be the servants of the Lord, for he is a holy God, a God who will not let his honour be given to another: he will have no mercy on your wrongdoing or your sins.

bbe@Joshua:24:20 @If you are turned away from the Lord and become the servants of strange gods, then turning against you he will do you evil, cutting you off, after he has done you good

bbe@Joshua:24:25 @So Joshua made an agreement with the people that day, and gave them a rule and a law in Shechem.

bbe@Joshua:24:31 @And Israel was true to the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the older men who were still living after Joshua's death, and had seen what the Lord had done for Israel.

bbe@Joshua:24:32 @And the bones of Joseph, which the children of Israel had taken up from Egypt, they put in the earth in Shechem, in the property which Jacob had got from the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem, for a hundred shekels: and they became the heritage of the children of Joseph.

bbe@Judges:1:3 @Then Judah said to Simeon his brother, Come up with me into my heritage, so that we may make war against the Canaanites; and I will then go with you into your heritage. So Simeon went with him.

bbe@Judges:1:4 @And Judah went up; and the Lord gave the Canaanites and the Perizzites into their hands; and they overcame ten thousand of them in Bezek.

bbe@Judges:1:5 @And they came across Adoni-zedek, and made war on him; and they overcame the Canaanites and the Perizzites.

bbe@Judges:1:7 @And Adoni-zedek said, Seventy kings, whose thumbs and great toes had been cut off, got broken meat under my table: as I have done, so has God done to me in full. And they took him to Jerusalem, and he came to his end there.

bbe@Judges:1:8 @Then the children of Judah made an attack on Jerusalem, and took it, burning down the town after they had put its people to the sword without mercy.

bbe@Judges:1:10 @And Caleb went against the Canaanites of Hebron: (now in earlier times Hebron was named Kiriath-arba:) and he put Sheshai and Ahiman and Talmai to the sword.

bbe@Judges:1:11 @And from there he went up against the people of Debir. (Now the name of Debir in earlier times was Kiriath-sepher.)

bbe@Judges:1:12 @And Caleb said, I will give Achsah, my daughter, as wife to the man who overcomes Kiriath-sepher and takes it.

bbe@Judges:1:14 @Now when she came to him, he put into her mind the idea of requesting a field from her father: and she got down from her ass; and Caleb said to her, What is it?

bbe@Judges:1:15 @And she said to him, Give me a blessing; because you have put me in a dry south-land, now give me springs of water. So Caleb gave her the higher spring and the lower spring.

bbe@Judges:1:16 @Now Hobab the Kenite, Moses' father-in-law, had come up out of the town of palm-trees, with the children of Judah, into the waste land of Arad; and he went and was living among the Amalekites;

bbe@Judges:1:17 @And Judah went with Simeon, his brother, and overcame the Canaanites living in Zephath, and put it under the curse; and he gave the town the name of Hormah.

bbe@Judges:1:23 @So they sent men to make a search round Beth-el. (Now the name of the town in earlier times was Luz.)

bbe@Judges:1:26 @And he went into the land of the Hittites, building a town there and naming it Luz: which is its name to this day.

bbe@Judges:1:27 @And Manasseh did not take away the land of the people of Beth-shean and its daughter-towns, or of Taanach and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Dor and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Ibleam and its daughter-towns, or of the people of Megiddo and its daughter-towns, driving them out; but the Canaanites would go on living in that land.

bbe@Judges:1:28 @And whenever Israel became strong, they put the Canaanites to forced work, without driving them out completely.

bbe@Judges:1:33 @Naphtali did not take the land of the people of Beth-shemesh or of Beth-anath, driving them out; but he was living among the Canaanites in the land; however, the people of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath were put to forced work.

bbe@Judges:1:34 @And the children of Dan were forced into the hill-country by the Amorites, who would not let them come down into the valley;

bbe@Judges:1:35 @For the Amorites would go on living in Mount Heres, in Aijalon, and in Shaalbim; but the children of Joseph became stronger than they, and put them to forced work.

bbe@Judges:2:1 @Now the angel of the Lord came up from Gilgal to Bochim. And he said, *** I took you out of Egypt, guiding you into the land which I gave by an oath to your fathers; and I said, My agreement with you will never be broken by me:

bbe@Judges:2:2 @And you are to make no agreement with the people of this land; you are to see that their altars are broken down: but you have not given ear to my voice: what have you done?

bbe@Judges:2:5 @And they gave that place the name of Bochim, and made offerings there to the Lord.

bbe@Judges:2:7 @And the people were true to the Lord all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the responsible men who were still living after the death of Joshua, and had seen all the great work of the Lord which he had done for Israel.

bbe@Judges:2:8 @And death came to Joshua, the son of Nun, the servant of the Lord, he being a hundred and ten years old.

bbe@Judges:2:10 @And in time death overtook all that generation; and another generation came after them, having no knowledge of the Lord or of the things which he had done for Israel.

bbe@Judges:2:11 @And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord and became servants to the Baals;

bbe@Judges:2:13 @And they gave up the Lord, and became the servants of Baal and the Astartes.

bbe@Judges:2:15 @Wherever they went out, the hand of the Lord was against them for evil, as the Lord had taken his oath it would be; and things became very hard for them.

bbe@Judges:2:20 @And the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he said, Because this nation has not been true to my agreement which I made with their fathers, and has not given ear to my voice;

bbe@Judges:3:6 @And they took as wives the daughters of these nations and gave their daughters to their sons, and became servants to their gods.

bbe@Judges:3:7 @And the children of Israel did evil in the eyes of the Lord, and put out of their minds the Lord their God, and became servants to the Baals and the Astartes.

bbe@Judges:3:8 @So the wrath of the Lord was burning against Israel, and he gave them up into the hands of Cushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia; and the children of Israel were his servants for eight years.

bbe@Judges:3:10 @And the spirit of the Lord came on him and he became judge of Israel, and went out to war, and the Lord gave up Cushan-rishathaim, king of Mesopotamia, into his hands and he overcame him

bbe@Judges:3:13 @And Eglon got together the people of Ammon and Amalek, and they went and overcame Israel and took the town of palm-trees.

bbe@Judges:3:18 @And after giving the offering, he sent away the people who had come with the offering.

bbe@Judges:3:19 @But he himself, turning back from the stone images at Gilgal, said, I have something to say to you in secret, O king. And he said, Let there be quiet. Then all those who were waiting before him went out.

bbe@Judges:3:20 @Then Ehud came in to him while he was seated by himself in his summer-house. And Ehud said, I have a word from God for you. And he got up from his seat.

bbe@Judges:3:23 @Then Ehud went out into the covered way, shutting the doors of the summer-house on him and locking them.

bbe@Judges:3:24 @Now when he had gone, the king's servants came, and saw that the doors of the summer-house were locked; and they said, It may be that he is in his summer-house for a private purpose.

bbe@Judges:3:25 @And they went on waiting till they were shamed, but the doors were still shut; so they took the key, and, opening them, saw their lord stretched out dead on the floor.

bbe@Judges:3:27 @And when he came there, he had a horn sounded in the hill-country of Ephraim, and all the children of Israel went down with him from the hill-country, and he at their head.

bbe@Judges:3:28 @And he said to them, Come after me; for the Lord has given the Moabites, your haters, into your hands. So they went down after him and took the crossing-places of Jordan against Moab, and let no one go across.

bbe@Judges:3:29 @At that time they put about ten thousand men of Moab to the sword, every strong man and every man of war; not a man got away.

bbe@Judges:3:31 @And after him came Shamgar, the son of Anath, who put to death six hundred Philistines with an ox-stick; and he was another saviour of Israel.

bbe@Judges:4:4 @Now Deborah, a woman prophet, the wife of Lapidoth, was judge of Israel at that time.

bbe@Judges:4:5 @(And she had her seat under the palm-tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el in the hill-country of Ephraim; and the children of Israel came up to her to be judged.)

bbe@Judges:4:6 @And she sent for Barak, the son of Abinoam, from Kedesh-naphtali, and said to him, Has not the Lord, the God of Israel, given orders saying, Go and get your force into line in Mount Tabor, and take with you ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun?

bbe@Judges:4:7 @And I will make Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his war-carriages and his forces, come against you at the river Kishon, where I will give him into your hands.

bbe@Judges:4:8 @And Barak said to her, If you will go with me then I will go; but if you will not go with me I will not go.

bbe@Judges:4:10 @Then Barak sent for Zebulun and Naphtali to come to Kedesh; and ten thousand men went up after him, and Deborah went up with him

bbe@Judges:4:14 @Then Deborah said to Barak, Up! for today the Lord has given Sisera into your hands: has not the Lord gone out before you? So Barak went down from Mount Tabor and ten thousand men after him.

bbe@Judges:4:18 @And Jael went out to Sisera, and said to him, Come in, my lord, come in to me without fear. So he went into her tent, and she put a cover over him.

bbe@Judges:4:19 @Then he said to her, Give me now a little water, for I have need of a drink. And opening a skin of milk, she gave him drink, and put the cover over him again.

bbe@Judges:4:20 @And he said to her, Take your place at the door of the tent, and if anyone comes and says to you, Is there any man here, say, No.

bbe@Judges:4:21 @Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a tent-pin and a hammer and went up to him quietly, driving the pin into his head, and it went through his head into the earth, for he was in a deep sleep from weariness; and so he came to his end.

bbe@Judges:4:22 @Then Jael went out, and meeting Barak going after Sisera, said to him, Come, and I will let you see the man you are searching for. So he came into her tent and saw, and there was Sisera stretched out dead with the tent-pin in his head.

bbe@Judges:4:23 @So that day God overcame Jabin, king of Canaan, before the children of Israel.

bbe@Judges:5:1 @At that time Deborah and Barak, the son of Abinoam, made this song, saying:

bbe@Judges:5:3 @Give attention, O kings; give ear, O rulers; I, even I, will make a song to the Lord; I will make melody to the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@Judges:5:7 @Country towns were no more in Israel, *** were no more, till you, Deborah, came up, till you came up as a mother in Israel.

bbe@Judges:5:8 @They had no one to make arms, there were no more armed men in the towns; was there a body-cover or a spear to be seen among forty thousand in Israel?

bbe@Judges:5:9 @Come, you rulers of Israel, you who gave yourselves freely among the people: give praise to the Lord.

bbe@Judges:5:11 @Give ear to the women laughing by the water-springs; there they will give again the story of the upright acts of the Lord, all the upright acts of his arm in Israel.

bbe@Judges:5:14 @Out of Ephraim they came down into the valley; after you, Benjamin, among your tribesmen; from Machir came down the captains, and from Zebulun those in whose hand is the ruler's rod.

bbe@Judges:5:19 @The kings came on to the fight, the kings of Canaan were warring; in Taanach by the waters of Megiddo: they took no profit in money.

bbe@Judges:5:23 @A curse, a curse on Meroz! said the angel of the Lord. A bitter curse on her townspeople! Because they came not to the help of the Lord, to the help of the Lord among the strong ones.

bbe@Judges:5:24 @Blessings be on Jael, more than on all women! Blessings greater than on any in the tents!

bbe@Judges:5:26 @She put out her hand to the tent-pin, and her right hand to the workman's hammer; and she gave Sisera a blow, crushing his head, wounding and driving through his brow.

bbe@Judges:5:29 @Her wise women gave answer to her, yes, she made answer again to herself,

bbe@Judges:5:31 @So may destruction come on all your haters, O Lord; but let your lovers be like the sun going out in his strength. And for forty years the land had peace.

bbe@Judges:6:3 @And whenever Israel's grain was planted, the Midianites and the Amalekites and the people of the east came up against them;

bbe@Judges:6:5 @For they came up regularly with their oxen and their tents; they came like the locusts in number; they and their camels were without number; and they came into the land for its destruction.

bbe@Judges:6:7 @And when the cry of the children of Israel, because of Midian, came before the Lord,

bbe@Judges:6:11 @Now the angel of the Lord came and took his seat under the oak-tree in Ophrah, in the field of Joash the Abiezrite; and his son Gideon was crushing grain in the place where the grapes were crushed, so that the Midianites might not see it.

bbe@Judges:6:12 @And the angel of the Lord came before his eyes, and said to him, The Lord is with you, O man of war.

bbe@Judges:6:13 @Then Gideon said to him, O my lord, if the Lord is with us why has all this come on us? And where are all his works of power, of which our fathers have given us word, saying, Did not the Lord take us out of Egypt? But now he has given us up, handing us over to the power of Midian.

bbe@Judges:6:16 @Then the Lord said to him, Truly, I will be with you, and you will overcome the Midianites as if they were one man.

bbe@Judges:6:17 @So he said to him, If now I have grace in your eyes, then give me a sign that it is you who are talking to me.

bbe@Judges:6:18 @Do not go away till I come with my offering and put it before you. And he said, I will not go away before you come back.

bbe@Judges:6:19 @Then Gideon went in and made ready a young goat, and with an ephah of meal he made unleavened cakes: he put the meat in a basket and the soup in which it had been cooked he put in a pot, and he took it out to him under the oak-tree and gave it to him there.

bbe@Judges:6:20 @And the angel of God said to him, Take the meat and the unleavened cakes and put them down on the rock over there, draining out the soup over them. And he did so.

bbe@Judges:6:21 @Then the angel of the Lord put out the stick which was in his hand, touching the meat and the cakes with the end of it; and a flame came up out of the rock, burning up the meat and the cakes: and the angel of the Lord was seen no longer.

bbe@Judges:6:24 @Then Gideon made an altar there to the Lord, and gave it the name Yahweh-shalom; to this day it is in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

bbe@Judges:6:25 @The same night the Lord said to him, Take ten men of your servants and an ox seven years old, and after pulling down the altar of Baal which is your father's, and cutting down the holy tree by its side,

bbe@Judges:6:27 @Then Gideon took ten of his servants and did as the Lord had said to him; but fearing to do it by day, because of his father's people and the men of the town, he did it by night.

bbe@Judges:6:28 @And the men of the town got up early in the morning, and they saw the altar of Baal broken down, and the holy tree which was by it cut down, and the ox offered on the altar which had been put up there.

bbe@Judges:6:30 @Then the men of the town said to Joash, Make your son come out to be put to death, for pulling down the altar of Baal and cutting down the holy tree which was by it.

bbe@Judges:6:32 @So that day he gave him the name of Jerubbaal, saying, Let Baal take up his cause against him because his altar has been broken down.

bbe@Judges:6:34 @But the spirit of the Lord came on Gideon; and at the sound of his horn all Abiezer came together after him.

bbe@Judges:6:35 @And he sent through all Manasseh, and they came after him; and he sent to Asher and Zebulun and Naphtali, and they came up and were joined to the others.

bbe@Judges:6:39 @Then Gideon said to God, Do not be moved to wrath against me if I say only this: let me make one more test with the wool; let the wool now be dry, while the earth is covered with dew.

bbe@Judges:7:2 @And the Lord said to Gideon, So great is the number of your people, that if I give the Midianites into their hands they will be uplifted in pride over me and will say, I myself have been my saviour.

bbe@Judges:7:5 @So he took the people down to the water; and the Lord said to Gideon, Put on one side by themselves all those drinking up the water with their tongues like a dog; and in the same way, all those who go down on their knees to the water while drinking.

bbe@Judges:7:9 @The same night the Lord said to him, Up! go down now against their army, for I have given them into your hands.

bbe@Judges:7:11 @And after hearing what they are saying, you will get strength to go down against the army. So he went down with his servant Purah to the outer line of the tents of the armed men.

bbe@Judges:7:12 @Now the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the people of the east were covering the valley like locusts; and their camels were like the sand by the seaside, without number.

bbe@Judges:7:13 @When Gideon came there, a man was giving his friend an account of his dream, saying, See, I had a dream about a cake of barley bread which, falling into the tents of Midian, came on to the tent, overturning it so that it was stretched out flat on the earth.

bbe@Judges:7:14 @And his friend in answer said, This is certainly the sword of Gideon, the son of Joash, the men of Israel: into their hands God has given up all the army of Midian.

bbe@Judges:7:16 @Then separating the three hundred men into three bands, he gave every man a horn, and a vessel in which was a flaming branch

bbe@Judges:7:17 @And he said to them, Keep your eyes on me, and do what I do; when I come to the outer line of tents, whatever I do, you are to do the same.

bbe@Judges:7:18 @At the sound of my horn, and the horns of those who are with me, let your horns be sounded all round the tents, and say, For the Lord and for Gideon.

bbe@Judges:7:19 @So Gideon and the three hundred men who were with him came to the outer line of tents, at the start of the middle watch, when the watchmen had only then taken their stations; and the horns were sounded and the vessels broken.

bbe@Judges:7:21 @Then they made a line round the tents, every man in his place; and all the army, awaking from sleep, came running out, and with loud cries went in flight.

bbe@Judges:7:22 @And the three hundred gave a loud note on their horns, and every man's sword was turned by the Lord against his brother all through the army; and the army went in flight as far as Beth-shittah in the direction of Zeredah, to the edge of Abel-meholah by Tabbath.

bbe@Judges:7:23 @And the men of Israel came together from Naphtali and from Asher and all Manasseh, and went after Midian.

bbe@Judges:7:24 @Then Gideon sent through all the hill-country of Ephraim saying, Come down against Midian, and keep the ways across Jordan before they come. So all the men of Ephraim, massing themselves together, kept the ways across Jordan.

bbe@Judges:8:1 @And the men of Ephraim came and said to him, Why did you not send for us when you went to war against Midian? And they said sharp and angry words to him.

bbe@Judges:8:3 @God has given into your hands the chiefs of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb; what have I been able to do in comparison with you? And when he said this, their feeling about him became kinder.

bbe@Judges:8:4 @Then Gideon came to Jordan and went over it with his three hundred, overcome with weariness and in need of food.

bbe@Judges:8:5 @And he said to the men of Succoth, Give bread cakes to my people, for they are overcome with weariness, and I am going on after Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.

bbe@Judges:8:8 @So he went up from there to Penuel and made the same request to the men of Penuel; but they gave him the same answer as the men of Succoth had given.

bbe@Judges:8:9 @So he said to the men of Penuel, When I come back in peace, I will have this tower broken down.

bbe@Judges:8:10 @Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor and their armies with them, about fifteen thousand men, those of all the army of the children of the east who were still living; for a hundred and twenty thousand of their swordsmen had been put to death.

bbe@Judges:8:14 @And taking prisoner a young man of the people of Succoth, he got from him, in answer to his questions, a list of the chiefs of Succoth and the responsible men, seventy-seven men.

bbe@Judges:8:15 @So he came to the men of Succoth and said, Here are Zebah and Zalmunna, on account of whom you made sport of me, saying, Are the hands of Zebah and Zalmunna even now in your hand, that we are to give bread to your army who are overcome with weariness?

bbe@Judges:8:16 @Then he took the responsible men of the town and had them crushed on a bed of thorns and sharp stems.

bbe@Judges:8:17 @And he had the tower of Penuel broken down and the men of the town put to death.

bbe@Judges:8:18 @Then he said to Zebah and Zalmunna, Where are the men whom you put to death at Tabor? And they gave answer, As you are, so were they; every one of them was like a king's son

bbe@Judges:8:21 @Then Zebah and Zalmunna said, Up! Put an end to us yourself: for you have a man's strength. Then Gideon got up and put Zebah and Zalmunna to death and took the ornaments which were on their camels' necks.

bbe@Judges:8:22 @Then the men of Israel said to Gideon, Be our ruler, you and your son and your son's son after him; for you have been our saviour from the hands of Midian.

bbe@Judges:8:24 @Then Gideon said to them, I have a request to make to you; let every man give me the ear-rings he has taken. (For they had gold ear-rings, because they were Ishmaelites.)

bbe@Judges:8:26 @The weight of the gold ear-rings which he got from them was one thousand, seven hundred shekels of gold; in addition to the moon-ornaments and jewels and the purple robes which were on the kings of Midian, and the chains on their camels' necks.

bbe@Judges:8:27 @And Gideon made an ephod from them and put it up in his town Ophrah; and all Israel went after it there and were false to the Lord; and it became a cause of sin to Gideon and his house.

bbe@Judges:8:31 @And the servant-wife he had in Shechem had a son by him, to whom he gave the name Abimelech.

bbe@Judges:8:32 @And Gideon, the son of Joash, came to his end when he was very old, and his body was put in the resting-place of Joash his father, in Ophrah of the Abiezrites.

bbe@Judges:9:1 @Now Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, went to Shechem to his mother's family, and said to them and to all the family of his mother's father,

bbe@Judges:9:2 @Say now in the ears of all the townsmen of Shechem, Is it better for you to be ruled by all the seventy sons of Jerubbaal or by one man only? And keep in mind that I am your bone and your flesh.

bbe@Judges:9:3 @So his mother's family said all this about him in the ears of all the townsmen of Shechem: and their hearts were turned to Abimelech, for they said, He is our brother.

bbe@Judges:9:4 @And they gave him seventy shekels of silver from the house of Baal-berith, with which Abimelech got the support of a number of uncontrolled and good-for-nothing persons.

bbe@Judges:9:5 @Then he went to his father's house at Ophrah, and put his brothers, the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, to death on the same stone; however, Jotham, the youngest, kept himself safe by going away to a secret place.

bbe@Judges:9:6 @And all the townsmen of Shechem and all Beth-millo came together and went and made Abimelech their king, by the oak of the pillar in Shechem.

bbe@Judges:9:7 @Now Jotham, on hearing of it, went to the top of Mount Gerizim, and crying out with a loud voice said to them, Give ear to me, you townsmen of Shechem, so that God may give ear to you.

bbe@Judges:9:9 @But the olive-tree said to them, Am I to give up my wealth of oil, by which men give honour to God, and go waving over the trees?

bbe@Judges:9:10 @Then the trees said to the fig-tree, You come and be king over us.

bbe@Judges:9:12 @Then the trees said to the vine, You come and be king over us.

bbe@Judges:9:13 @But the vine said to them, Am I to give up my wine, which makes glad God and men, to go waving over the trees?

bbe@Judges:9:14 @Then all the trees said to the thorn, You come and be king over us.

bbe@Judges:9:15 @And the thorn said to the trees, If it is truly your desire to make me your king, then come and put your faith in my shade; and if not, may fire come out of the thorn, burning up the cedars of Lebanon.

bbe@Judges:9:16 @So now, if you have done truly and uprightly in making Abimelech king, and if you have done well to Jerubbaal and his house in reward for the work of his hands;

bbe@Judges:9:18 @And you have gone against my father's family this day, and have put to death his sons, even seventy men on one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his servant-wife, king over the townsmen of Shechem because he is your brother;)

bbe@Judges:9:19 @If then you have done what is true and upright to Jerubbaal and his family this day, may you have joy in Abimelech, and may he have joy in you;

bbe@Judges:9:20 @But if not, may fire come out from Abimelech, burning up the townsmen of Shechem and Beth-millo; and may fire come out from the townsmen of Shechem and Beth-millo, for the destruction of Abimelech

bbe@Judges:9:21 @Then Jotham straight away went in flight to Beer, and was living there for fear of his brother Abimelech.

bbe@Judges:9:22 @So Abimelech was chief over Israel for three years.

bbe@Judges:9:23 @And God sent an evil spirit between Abimelech and the townsmen of Shechem; and the townsmen of Shechem were false to Abimelech;

bbe@Judges:9:24 @So that punishment for the violent attack made on the seventy sons of Jerubbaal, and for their blood, might come on Abimelech, their brother, who put them to death, and on the townsmen of Shechem who gave him their help in putting his brothers to death.

bbe@Judges:9:25 @And the townsmen of Shechem put secret watchers on the tops of the mountains, and they made attacks on all who went by on the road and took their goods; and word of this came to Abimelech.

bbe@Judges:9:26 @Then Gaal, the son of Ebed, came with his brothers, and went over to Shechem; and the men of Shechem put their faith in him.

bbe@Judges:9:27 @And they went out into their fields and got in the fruit of their vines, and when the grapes had been crushed, they made a holy feast and went into the house of their god, and over their food and drink they were cursing Abimelech.

bbe@Judges:9:28 @And Gaal, the son of Ebed, said, Who is Abimelech and who is Shechem, that we are to be his servants? Is it not right for the son of Jerubbaal and Zebul his captain to be servants to the men of Hamor, the father of Shechem? But why are we to be his servants?

bbe@Judges:9:29 @If only I had authority over this people! I would put Abimelech out of the way, and I would say to Abimelech, Make your army strong, and come out.

bbe@Judges:9:31 @And he sent to Abimelech at Arumah, saying, See, Gaal, the son of Ebed, and his brothers have come to Shechem, and they are working up the town against you.

bbe@Judges:9:33 @And in the morning, when the sun is up, get up early and make a rush on the town; and when he and his people come out against you, do to them whatever you have a chance to do.

bbe@Judges:9:34 @So Abimelech and the people with him got up by night, in four bands, to make a surprise attack on Shechem.

bbe@Judges:9:35 @And Gaal, the son of Ebed, went out, and took his place at the doorway into the town; then Abimelech and his people got up from the place where they had been waiting.

bbe@Judges:9:36 @And when Gaal saw the people, he said to Zebul, See! people are coming down from the tops of the mountains. And Zebul said to him, You see the shade of the mountains like men.

bbe@Judges:9:38 @Then Zebul said to him, Now where is your loud talk when you said, Who is Abimelech that we are to be his servants? Is this not the people whom you were rating so low? Go out now, and make war on them.

bbe@Judges:9:39 @So Gaal went out at the head of the townsmen of Shechem and made war on Abimelech.

bbe@Judges:9:40 @And Abimelech went after him and he went in flight before him; and a great number were falling by the sword all the way up to the town.

bbe@Judges:9:41 @Then Abimelech went back to Arumah; and Zebul sent Gaal and his brothers away and would not let them go on living in Shechem.

bbe@Judges:9:42 @Now the day after, the people went out into the fields; and news of it came to Abimelech.

bbe@Judges:9:44 @And Abimelech with his band made a rush, and took up their position at the doorway into the town; and the other two bands made a rush on all those who were in the fields, and overcame them.

bbe@Judges:9:45 @And all that day Abimelech was fighting against the town; and he took it, and put to death the people who were in it, and had the town pulled down and covered with salt.

bbe@Judges:9:46 @Then all the townsmen of the tower of Shechem, hearing of it, went into the inner room of the house of El-berith.

bbe@Judges:9:47 @And word was given to Abimelech that all the men of the tower of Shechem were there together.

bbe@Judges:9:48 @Then Abimelech went up to Mount Zalmon, with all his people; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand and, cutting down branches of trees, took them and put them on his back. And he said to the people who were with him, Be quick and do as you have seen me do.

bbe@Judges:9:49 @So all the people got branches, every man cutting down a branch, and they went with Abimelech at their head and, massing the branches against the inner room, put fire to the room over them; so all those who were in the tower of Shechem, about a thousand men and women, were burned to death with it.

bbe@Judges:9:50 @Then Abimelech went to Thebez, and put his army in position against Thebez and took it.

bbe@Judges:9:51 @But in the middle of the town there was a strong tower, to which all the men and women of the town went in flight and, shutting themselves in, went up to the roof of the tower.

bbe@Judges:9:52 @And Abimelech came to the tower and made an attack on it, and got near to the door of the tower for the purpose of firing it.

bbe@Judges:9:53 @But a certain woman sent a great stone, such as is used for crushing grain, on to the head of Abimelech, cracking the bone.

bbe@Judges:9:54 @Then quickly crying out to his body-servant, he said to him, Take out your sword and put an end to me straight away, so that men may not say of me, His death was the work of a woman. So the young man put his sword through him, causing his death.

bbe@Judges:9:55 @And when the men of Israel saw that Abimelech was dead, they went away, every man to his place.

bbe@Judges:9:56 @In this way Abimelech was rewarded by God for the evil he had done to his father in putting his seventy brothers to death;

bbe@Judges:9:57 @And God sent back on to the heads of the men of Shechem all the evil they had done, and the curse of Jotham, the son of Jerubbaal, came on them.

bbe@Judges:10:1 @Now after Abimelech, Tola, the son of Puah, the son of Dodo, a man of Issachar, became the saviour of Israel; he was living in Shamir in the hill-country of Ephraim.

bbe@Judges:10:3 @And after him came Jair the Gileadite, who was judge over Israel for twenty-two years.

bbe@Judges:10:4 @And he had thirty sons, who went on thirty young asses; and they had thirty towns in the land of Gilead, which are named Havvoth-Jair to this day.

bbe@Judges:10:13 @But, for all this, you have given me up and have been servants to other gods: so I will be your saviour no longer.

bbe@Judges:10:14 @Go, send up your cry for help to the gods of your selection; let them be your saviours in the time of your trouble.

bbe@Judges:10:16 @So they put away the strange gods from among them, and became the Lord's servants; and his soul was angry because of the sorrows of Israel.

bbe@Judges:10:17 @Then the children of Ammon came together and put their army in position in Gilead. And the children of Israel came together and put their army in position in Mizpah.

bbe@Judges:11:2 @And Gilead's wife gave birth to sons, and when her sons became men, they sent Jephthah away, saying, You have no part in the heritage of our father's house, for you are the son of another woman.

bbe@Judges:11:3 @So Jephthah went in flight from his brothers and was living in the land of Tob, where a number of good-for-nothing men, joining Jephthah, went out with him on his undertakings.

bbe@Judges:11:4 @Now after a time the children of Ammon made war against Israel.

bbe@Judges:11:5 @And when the children of Ammon made war against Israel, the responsible men of Gilead went to get Jephthah back from the land of Tob;

bbe@Judges:11:6 @And they said to Jephthah, Come and be our chief so that we may make war against the children of Ammon.

bbe@Judges:11:7 @But Jephthah said to the responsible men of Gilead, Did you not, in your hate for me, send me away from my father's house? Why do you come to me now when you are in trouble?

bbe@Judges:11:8 @And the responsible men of Gilead said to Jephthah, That is the reason we have come back to you; so go with us and make war against the children of Ammon, and we will make you our head over all the people of Gilead.

bbe@Judges:11:9 @Then Jephthah said to the responsible men of Gilead, If you take me back to make war against the children of Ammon, and if with the help of the Lord I overcome them, will you make me your head?

bbe@Judges:11:10 @And the responsible men of Gilead said to Jephthah, May the Lord be our witness: we will certainly do as you say.

bbe@Judges:11:11 @So Jephthah went with the responsible men of Gilead, and the people made him head and chief over them; and Jephthah said all these things before the Lord in Mizpah

bbe@Judges:11:12 @Then Jephthah sent men to the king of the children of Ammon, saying, What have you against me that you have come to make war against my land?

bbe@Judges:11:13 @And the king of the children of Ammon said to the men sent by Jephthah, Because Israel, when he came up out of Egypt, took away my land, from the Arnon as far as the Jabbok and as far as Jordan: so now, give me back those lands quietly.

bbe@Judges:11:16 @But when they came up from Egypt, Israel went through the waste land to the Red Sea and came to Kadesh;

bbe@Judges:11:17 @Then Israel sent men to the king of Edom saying, Let me now go through your land; but the king of Edom did not give ear to them. And in the same way he sent to the king of Moab, but he would not; so Israel went on living in Kadesh.

bbe@Judges:11:18 @Then he went on through the waste land and round the land of Edom and the land of Moab, and came by the east side of the land of Moab, and put up their tents on the other side of the Arnon; they did not come inside the limit of Moab, for the Arnon was the limit of Moab.

bbe@Judges:11:19 @And Israel sent men to Sihon, king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon; and Israel said to him, Let me now go through your land to my place.

bbe@Judges:11:21 @And the Lord, the God of Israel, gave Sihon and all his people into the hands of Israel, and they overcame them; so all the land of the Amorites, the people of that land, became Israel's.

bbe@Judges:11:26 @While Israel was living in Heshbon and its daughter-towns and in Aroer and its daughter-towns and in all the towns which are by the side of the Arnon, for three hundred years, why did you not get them back at that time?

bbe@Judges:11:27 @So I have done no wrong against you, but you are doing wrong to me in fighting against me: may the Lord, who is Judge this day, be judge between the children of Israel and the children of Ammon.

bbe@Judges:11:29 @Then the spirit of the Lord came on Jephthah, and he went through Gilead and Manasseh, and came to Mizpeh of Gilead; and from Mizpeh of Gilead he went over to the children of Ammon.

bbe@Judges:11:31 @Then whoever comes out from the door of my house, meeting me when I come back in peace from the children of Ammon, will be the Lord's and I will give him as a burned offering.

bbe@Judges:11:34 @Then Jephthah came back to his house in Mizpah, and his daughter came out, meeting him on his way with music and with dances; she was his only child; he had no other sons or daughters.

bbe@Judges:11:35 @And when he saw her he was overcome with grief, and said, Ah! my daughter! I am crushed with sorrow, and it is you who are the chief cause of my trouble; for I have made an oath to the Lord and I may not take it back.

bbe@Judges:11:36 @And she said to him, My father, you have made an oath to the Lord; do then to me whatever you have said; for the Lord has sent a full reward on your haters, on the children of Ammon.

bbe@Judges:11:37 @Then she said to her father, Only do this for me: let me have two months to go away into the mountains with my friends, weeping for my sad fate.

bbe@Judges:11:39 @And at the end of two months she went back to her father, who did with her as he had said in his oath: and she had never been touched by a man. So it became a rule in Israel,

bbe@Judges:11:40 @For the women to go year by year sorrowing for the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite, four days in every year.

bbe@Judges:12:1 @Now the men of Ephraim came together and took up arms and went over to Zaphon; and they said to Jephthah, Why did you go over to make war against the children of Ammon without sending for us to go with you? Now we will put your house on fire over you.

bbe@Judges:12:2 @And Jephthah said to them, I and my people were in danger, and the children of Ammon were very cruel to us, and when I sent for you, you gave me no help against them.

bbe@Judges:12:3 @So when I saw that there was no help to be had from you, I put my life in my hand and went over against the children of Ammon, and the Lord gave them into my hands: why then have you come up to me this day to make war on me?

bbe@Judges:12:4 @Then Jephthah got together all the men of Gilead and made war on Ephraim; and the men of Gilead overcame Ephraim.

bbe@Judges:12:5 @And the Gileadites took the crossing-places of Jordan against the Ephraimites; and when any of the men of Ephraim who had gone in flight said, let me go over; the men of Gilead said to him, Are you an Ephraimite? And if he said, No;

bbe@Judges:12:6 @Then they said to him, Now say Shibboleth; and he said Sibboleth, and was not able to say it in the right way; then they took him and put him to death at the crossing-places of Jordan; and at that time forty-two thousand Ephraimites were put to death.

bbe@Judges:12:7 @Now Jephthah was judge of Israel for six years. And Jephthah the Gileadite came to his death, and his body was put to rest in his town, Mizpeh of Gilead.

bbe@Judges:12:10 @And Ibzan came to his death and his body was put to rest at Beth-lehem.

bbe@Judges:12:12 @And Elon the Zebulonite came to his death, and his body was put to rest in Aijalon in the land of Zebulun.

bbe@Judges:12:15 @And Abdon, the son of Hillel, came to his death, and his body was put to rest in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim, in the hill-country of the Amalekites.

bbe@Judges:13:2 @Now there was a certain man of Zorah of the family of the Danites, and his name was Manoah; and his wife had never given birth to a child.

bbe@Judges:13:3 @And the angel of the Lord came to the woman, and said to her, See now! though you have never given birth to children, you will be with child and give birth to a son.

bbe@Judges:13:6 @Then the woman came in, and said to her husband, A man came to me, and his form was like the form of a god, causing great fear; I put no question to him about where he came from, and he did not give me his name;

bbe@Judges:13:7 @But he said to me, You are with child and will give birth to a son; and now do not take any wine or strong drink or let anything unclean be your food; for the child will be separate to God from his birth to the day of his death.

bbe@Judges:13:8 @Then Manoah made prayer to the Lord, and said, O Lord, let the man of God whom you sent come to us again and make clear to us what we are to do for the child who is to come.

bbe@Judges:13:9 @And God gave ear to the voice of Manoah; and the angel of God came to the woman again when she was seated in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her.

bbe@Judges:13:10 @So the woman, running quickly, gave her husband the news, saying, I have seen the man who came to me the other day.

bbe@Judges:13:11 @And Manoah got up and went after his wife, and came up to the man and said to him, Are you the man who was talking to this woman? And he said, I am.

bbe@Judges:13:12 @And Manoah said, Now when your words come true, what is to be the rule for the child and what will be his work?

bbe@Judges:13:14 @She is to have nothing which comes from the vine for her food, and let her take no wine or strong drink or anything which is unclean; let her take care to do all I have given her orders to do.

bbe@Judges:13:16 @And the angel of the Lord said to Manoah, Though you keep me I will not take of your food; but if you will make a burned offering, let it be offered to the Lord. For it had not come into Manoah's mind that he was the angel of the Lord.

bbe@Judges:13:17 @Then Manoah said to the angel of the Lord, What is your name, so that when your words come true we may give you honour?

bbe@Judges:13:18 @But the angel of the Lord said to him, Why are you questioning me about my name, seeing that it is a wonder?

bbe@Judges:13:19 @So Manoah took the young goat with its meal offering, offering it on the rock to the Lord, who did strange things.

bbe@Judges:13:20 @And when the flame went up to heaven from the altar, the angel of the Lord went up in the flame of the altar, while Manoah and his wife were looking on; and they went down on their faces to the earth.

bbe@Judges:13:23 @But his wife said to him, If the Lord was purposing our death, he would not have taken our burned offering and our meal offering, or have given us such orders about the child.

bbe@Judges:13:24 @So the woman gave birth to a son, and gave him the name Samson; and he became a man and the blessing of the Lord was on him.

bbe@Judges:13:25 @And the spirit of the Lord first came on him in Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.

bbe@Judges:14:2 @And when he came back he said to his father and mother, I have seen a woman in Timnah, of the daughters of the Philistines: get her now for me for my wife.

bbe@Judges:14:3 @Then his father and mother said to him, Is there no woman among the daughters of your relations or among all my people, that you have to go for your wife to the Philistines, who are without circumcision? But Samson said to his father, Get her for me, for she is pleasing to me.

bbe@Judges:14:4 @Now his father and mother had no knowledge that this was the purpose of the Lord, who had the destruction of the Philistines in mind. Now the Philistines at that time were ruling over Israel.

bbe@Judges:14:5 @Then Samson went down to Timnah (and his father and his mother,) and came to the vine-gardens of Timnah; and a young lion came rushing out at him.

bbe@Judges:14:6 @And the spirit of the Lord came on him with power, and, unarmed as he was, pulling the lion in two as one might do to a young goat, he put him to death; (but he said nothing to his father and mother of what he had done.)

bbe@Judges:14:8 @Then after a time he went back to take her; and turning from the road to see the dead body of the lion, he saw a mass of bees in the body of the lion, and honey there.

bbe@Judges:14:9 @And he took the honey in his hand, and went on, tasting it on the way; and when he came to his father and mother he gave some to them; but did not say that he had taken the honey from the body of the lion.

bbe@Judges:14:10 @Then Samson went down to the woman, and made a feast there, as was the way among young men.

bbe@Judges:14:12 @And Samson said, Now I have a hard question for you: if you are able to give me the answer before the seven days of the feast are over, I will give you thirty linen robes and thirty changes of clothing;

bbe@Judges:14:13 @But if you are not able to give me the answer, then you will have to give me thirty linen robes and thirty changes of clothing. And they said to him, Put your hard question and let us see what it is.

bbe@Judges:14:14 @And he said, Out of the taker of food came food, and out of the strong came the sweet. And at the end of three days they were still not able to give the answer.

bbe@Judges:14:15 @So on the fourth day they said to Samson's wife, Get from your husband the answer to his question by some trick or other, or we will have you and your father's house burned with fire; did you get us here to take all we have?

bbe@Judges:14:16 @Then Samson's wife, weeping over him, said, Truly you have no love for me but only hate; you have put a hard question to the children of my people and have not given me the answer. And he said to her, See, I have not given the answer even to my father or my mother; am I to give it to you?

bbe@Judges:14:18 @Then on the seventh day, before he went into the bride's room, the men of the town said to him, What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them, If you had not been ploughing with my cow you would not have got the answer to my question.

bbe@Judges:14:19 @And the spirit of the Lord came rushing on him, and he went down to Ashkelon and, attacking thirty men there, took their clothing from them, and gave it to the men who had given the answer to his hard question. Then, full of wrath, he went back to his father's house.

bbe@Judges:15:1 @Now a short time after, at the time of the grain-cutting, Samson, taking with him a young goat, went to see his wife; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the bride's room. But her father would not let him go in.

bbe@Judges:15:2 @And her father said, It seemed to me that you had only hate for her; so I gave her to your friend: but is not her younger sister fairer than she? so please take her in place of the other.

bbe@Judges:15:3 @Then Samson said to them, This time I will give payment in full to the Philistines, for I am going to do them great evil.

bbe@Judges:15:4 @So Samson went and got three hundred foxes and some sticks of fire-wood; and he put the foxes tail to tail with a stick between every two tails;

bbe@Judges:15:5 @Then firing the sticks, he let the foxes loose among the uncut grain of the Philistines, and all the corded stems as well as the living grain and the vine-gardens and the olives went up in flames.

bbe@Judges:15:6 @Then the Philistines said, Who has done this? And they said, Samson, the son-in-law of the Timnite, because he took his wife and gave her to his friend. So the Philistines came up and had her and her father's house burned.

bbe@Judges:15:7 @And Samson said to them, If you go on like this, truly I will take my full payment from you; and that will be the end of it.

bbe@Judges:15:10 @And the men of Judah said, Why have you come up against us? And they said, We have come up to take Samson, and to do to him as he has done to us.

bbe@Judges:15:11 @Then three thousand of the men of Judah went down to the crack of the rock of Etam, and said to Samson, Is it not clear to you that the Philistines are our rulers? What is this you have done to us? And he said to them, I only did to them as they did to me.

bbe@Judges:15:12 @Then they said to him, We have come down to take you and give you up into the hands of the Philistines. And Samson said to them, Give me your oath that you will not make an attack on me yourselves.

bbe@Judges:15:14 @And when he came to Lehi, the Philistines came out, meeting him with loud cries; then the spirit of the Lord came rushing on him, and the cords on his arms became like grass which has been burned with fire, and the bands came falling off his hands.

bbe@Judges:15:15 @And taking up the mouth-bone of an ass newly dead, which he saw by chance on the earth, he put to death a thousand men with it.

bbe@Judges:15:16 @And Samson said, With a red ass's mouth-bone I have made them red with blood, with a red ass's mouth-bone I have sent destruction on a thousand men.

bbe@Judges:15:17 @And having said these words, he let the mouth-bone go out of his hand; so that place was named Ramath-lehi.

bbe@Judges:15:19 @Then God made a crack in the hollow rock in Lehi and water came out of it; and after drinking, his spirit came back to him and he was strong again; so that place was named En-hakkore; it is in Lehi to this day

bbe@Judges:16:2 @And it was said to the Gazites, Samson is here. So they went round, watching for him all day at the doorway of the town, but at night they kept quiet, saying, When daylight comes we will put him to death.

bbe@Judges:16:4 @Now after this, he was in love with a woman in the valley of Sorek, named Delilah.

bbe@Judges:16:5 @And the chiefs of the Philistines came up to her, and said to her, Make use of your power over him and see what is the secret of his great strength, and how we may get the better of him, and put bands on him, so that we may make him feeble; and every one of us will give you eleven hundred shekels of silver.

bbe@Judges:16:6 @So Delilah said to Samson, Make clear to me now what is the secret of your great strength, and how you may be put in bands and made feeble.

bbe@Judges:16:7 @And Samson said to her, If seven new bow-cords which have never been made dry are knotted round me, I will become feeble and will be like any other man.

bbe@Judges:16:9 @Now she had men waiting secretly in the inner room; and she said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And the cords were broken by him as a twist of thread is broken when touched by a flame. So the secret of his strength did not come to light.

bbe@Judges:16:10 @Then Delilah said to Samson, See, you have been making sport of me with false words; now, say truly how may you be put in bands?

bbe@Judges:16:11 @And he said to her, If they only put round me new thick cords which have never been used, then I will become feeble and will be like any other man.

bbe@Judges:16:12 @So Delilah took new thick cords, knotting them tightly round him, and said to him, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And men were waiting secretly in the inner room. And the cords were broken off his arms like threads.

bbe@Judges:16:13 @Then Delilah said to Samson, Up to now you have made sport of me with false words; now say truly, how may you be put in bands? And he said to her, If you get the seven twists of my hair worked into the cloth you are making and fixed with the pin, I will become feeble and will be like any other man.

bbe@Judges:16:15 @And she said to him, Why do you say you are my lover when your heart is not mine? Three times you have made sport of me, and have not made clear to me the secret of your great strength.

bbe@Judges:16:17 @And opening all his heart to her, he said to her, My head has never been touched by a blade, for I have been separate to God from the day of my birth: if my hair is cut off, then my strength will go from me and I will become feeble, and will be like any other man.

bbe@Judges:16:18 @And when Delilah saw that he had let her see into his heart, she sent word to the chiefs of the Philistines saying, Come up this time, for he has let out all his heart to me. Then the chiefs of the Philistines came to her, with the money in their hands.

bbe@Judges:16:19 @And she made him go to sleep on her knees; and she sent for a man and had his seven twists of hair cut off; and while it was being done he became feeble and his strength went from him.

bbe@Judges:16:20 @Then she said, The Philistines are on you, Samson. And awaking from his sleep, he said, I will go out as at other times, shaking myself free. But he was not conscious that the Lord had gone from him.

bbe@Judges:16:23 @And the chiefs of the Philistines came together to make a great offering to Dagon their god, and to be glad; for they said, Our god has given into our hands Samson our hater.

bbe@Judges:16:26 @And Samson said to the boy who took him by the hand, Let me put my hand on the pillars supporting the house, so that I may put my back against them.

bbe@Judges:16:27 @Now the house was full of men and women; and all the lords of the Philistines were there; and about three thousand men and women were on the roof, looking on while Samson made sport.

bbe@Judges:16:28 @And Samson, crying out to the Lord, said, O Lord God, do have me now in mind, and do make me strong only this once, O God, so that I may take one last payment from the Philistines for my two eyes.

bbe@Judges:16:30 @And Samson said, Let death overtake me with the Philistines. And he put out all his strength, and the house came down on the chiefs and on all the people who were in it. So the dead whom he sent to destruction by his death were more than all those on whom he had sent destruction in his life.

bbe@Judges:16:31 @Then his brothers and his father's people came down and took him up and put his body to rest in the earth between Zorah and Eshtaol in the resting-place of Manoah his father. And he had been judge of Israel for twenty years.

bbe@Judges:17:1 @Now there was a man of the hill-country of Ephraim named Micah.

bbe@Judges:17:2 @And he said to his mother, The eleven hundred shekels of silver which were taken from you, about which you took an oath and said in my hearing, I have given this silver to the Lord from my hand for myself, to make a pictured image and a metal image: see, I have the silver, for I took it: so now I will give it back to you. And his mother said, May the blessing of the Lord be on my son.

bbe@Judges:17:3 @And he gave back the eleven hundred shekels of silver to his mother, and his mother said, I have made the silver holy to the Lord from me for my son, to make a pictured image and a metal image.

bbe@Judges:17:4 @So he gave the silver back to his mother. Then his mother took two hundred shekels of silver and gave them to a metal-worker who made a pictured image and a metal image from them: and it was in the house of Micah.

bbe@Judges:17:6 @In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did as seemed right to him.

bbe@Judges:17:8 @And he went away from the town of Beth-lehem-judah, looking for somewhere to make his living-place; and on his journey he came to the hill-country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah.

bbe@Judges:17:9 @And Micah said to him, Where do you come from? And he said to him, I am a Levite from Beth-lehem-judah, and I am looking for a living-place.

bbe@Judges:17:10 @Then Micah said to him, Make your living-place with me, and be a father and a priest to me, and I will give you ten shekels of silver a year and your clothing and food.

bbe@Judges:17:11 @And the Levite said he would make his living-place with the man, and he became to him as one of his sons.

bbe@Judges:17:12 @And Micah gave the position to the Levite, and the young man became his priest, and was in the house of Micah.

bbe@Judges:17:13 @Then Micah said, Now I am certain that the Lord will do me good, seeing that the Levite has become my priest.

bbe@Judges:18:1 @In those days there was no king in Israel, and in those days the Danites were looking for a heritage for themselves, to be their living-place; for up to that time no distribution of land had been made to them among the tribes of Israel.

bbe@Judges:18:2 @So the children of Dan sent five men from among their number, strong men, from Zorah and from Eshtaol, to take a look at the land and make a search through it; and they said to them, Go and make a search through the land; and they came to the hill-country of Ephraim, to the house of Micah, where they made a stop for the night.

bbe@Judges:18:3 @When they were near the house of Micah, hearing a voice which was not strange to them, that of the young Levite, they went out of their road to his place, and said to him, How did you come here? and what are you doing in this place? and why are you here?

bbe@Judges:18:4 @And he said to them, This is what Micah did for me, and he gave me payment and I became his priest.

bbe@Judges:18:5 @Then they said, Do get directions from God for us, to see if the journey on which we are going will have a good outcome.

bbe@Judges:18:7 @Then the five men went on their way and came to Laish and saw the people who were there, living without thought of danger, like the Zidonians, quiet and safe; for they had everything on earth for their needs, and they were far from the Zidonians and had no business with Aram.

bbe@Judges:18:8 @So they came back to their brothers in Zorah and Eshtaol, and their brothers said to them, What news have you?

bbe@Judges:18:10 @When you come there you will come to a people living without thought of danger; and the land is wide, and God has given it into your hands: a place where there is everything on earth for man's needs

bbe@Judges:18:11 @So six hundred men of the Danites from Zorah and Eshtaol went out armed with instruments of war.

bbe@Judges:18:12 @And they went up and put up their tents in Kiriath-jearim in Judah: so that place is named Mahaneh-dan to this day. It is to the west of Kiriath-jearim.

bbe@Judges:18:13 @From there they went on to the hill-country of Ephraim and came to the house of Micah.

bbe@Judges:18:14 @Then the five men who had gone to make a search through the country of Laish, said to their brothers, Have you knowledge that in these houses there is an ephod and family gods and a pictured image and a metal image? So now you see what to do.

bbe@Judges:18:15 @And turning from their road they came to the house of the young Levite, the house of Micah, and said to him, Is it well with you?

bbe@Judges:18:16 @And the six hundred armed men of the Danites took their places by the doorway.

bbe@Judges:18:17 @Then the five men who had gone to make a search through the land, went in and took the pictured image and the ephod and the family gods and the metal image; and the priest was by the doorway with the six hundred armed men.

bbe@Judges:18:18 @And when they went into Micah's house and took out the pictured image and the ephod and the family gods and the metal image, the priest said to them, What are you doing?

bbe@Judges:18:19 @And they said to him, Be quiet; say nothing, and come with us and be our father and priest; is it better for you to be priest to one man's house or to be priest to a tribe and a family in Israel?

bbe@Judges:18:22 @When they had gone some way from the house of Micah, the men from the houses near Micah's house came together and overtook the children of Dan,

bbe@Judges:18:24 @And he said, You have taken my gods which I made, and my priest, and have gone away; what is there for me now? Why then do you say to me, What is your trouble?

bbe@Judges:18:25 @And the children of Dan said to him, Say no more, or men of bitter spirit may make an attack on you, causing loss of your life and the lives of your people.

bbe@Judges:18:27 @And they took that which Micah had made, and his priest, and came to Laish, to a people living quietly and without thought of danger, and they put them to the sword without mercy, burning down their town.

bbe@Judges:18:29 @And they gave the town the name of Dan, after Dan their father, who was the son of Israel: though the town had been named Laish at first.

bbe@Judges:18:31 @And they put up for themselves the image which Micah had made, and it was there all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.

bbe@Judges:19:3 @Then her husband got up and went after her, with the purpose of talking kindly to her, and taking her back with him; he had with him his young man and two asses: and she took him into her father's house, and her father, when he saw him, came forward to him with joy.

bbe@Judges:19:8 @Then early on the morning of the fifth day he got up to go away; but the girl's father said, Keep up your strength; so the two of them had a meal, and the man and his woman and his servant did not go till after the middle of the day.

bbe@Judges:19:10 @But the man would not be kept there that night, and he got up and went away and came opposite to Jebus (which is Jerusalem); and he had with him the two asses, ready for travelling, and his woman

bbe@Judges:19:13 @And he said to his servant, Come, let us go on to one of these places, stopping for the night in Gibeah or Ramah.

bbe@Judges:19:16 @Now when it was evening they saw an old man coming back from his work in the fields; he was from the hill-country of Ephraim and was living in Gibeah: but the men of the place were Benjamites.

bbe@Judges:19:17 @And when he saw the traveller in the street of the town, the old man said, Where are you going? and where do you come from?

bbe@Judges:19:18 @And he said to him, We are on our way from Beth-lehem-judah to the inmost parts of the hill-country of Ephraim: I came from there and went to Beth-lehem-judah: now I am on my way back to my house, but no man will take me into his house.

bbe@Judges:19:19 @But we have dry grass and food for our asses, as well as bread and wine for me, and for the woman, and for the young man with us: we have no need of anything.

bbe@Judges:19:22 @While they were taking their pleasure at the meal, the good-for-nothing men of the town came round the house, giving blows on the door; and they said to the old man, the master of the house, Send out that man who came to your house, so that we may take our pleasure with him.

bbe@Judges:19:23 @So the man, the master of the house, went out to them, and said, No, my brothers, do not this evil thing; this man has come into my house, and you are not to do him this wrong.

bbe@Judges:19:24 @See, here is my daughter, a virgin, and his servant-wife: I will send them out for you to take them and do with them whatever you will. But do no such thing of shame to this man.

bbe@Judges:19:25 @But the men would not give ear to him: so the man took his woman and sent her out to them; and they took her by force, using her for their pleasure all night till the morning; and when dawn came they let her go.

bbe@Judges:19:26 @Then at the dawn of day the woman came, and, falling down at the door of the man's house where her master was, was stretched there till it was light.

bbe@Judges:19:28 @And he said to her, Get up and let us be going; but there was no answer; so he took her up and put her on the ass, and went on his way and came to his house.

bbe@Judges:19:29 @And when he had come to his house, he got his knife, and took the woman, cutting her up bone by bone into twelve parts, which he sent through all Israel.

bbe@Judges:19:30 @And he gave orders to the men whom he sent, saying, This is what you are to say to all the men of Israel, Has ever an act like this been done from the day when the children of Israel came out of Egypt to this day? Give thought to it, turning it over in your minds, and give your opinion of it.

bbe@Judges:20:1 @Then all the children of Israel took up arms, and the people came together like one man, from Dan to Beer-sheba, and the land of Gilead, before the Lord at Mizpah.

bbe@Judges:20:2 @And the chiefs of the people, out of all the tribes of Israel, took their places in the meeting of the people of God, four hundred thousand footmen armed with swords.

bbe@Judges:20:4 @Then the Levite, the husband of the dead woman, said in answer, I came to Gibeah in the land of Benjamin, I and my servant-wife, for the purpose of stopping there for the night.

bbe@Judges:20:5 @And the townsmen of Gibeah came together against me, going round the house on all sides by night; it was their purpose to put me to death, and my servant-wife was violently used by them and is dead.

bbe@Judges:20:6 @So I took her, cutting her into parts which I sent through all the country of the heritage of Israel: for they have done an act of shame in Israel.

bbe@Judges:20:10 @And we will take ten men out of every hundred, through all the tribes of Israel, a hundred out of every thousand, a thousand out of every ten thousand, to get food for the people, so that they may give to Gibeah of Benjamin the right punishment for the act of shame they have done in Israel.

bbe@Judges:20:11 @So all the men of Israel were banded together against the town, united like one man.

bbe@Judges:20:12 @And the tribes of Israel sent men through all the tribe of Benjamin saying, What is this evil which has been done among you?

bbe@Judges:20:14 @And the children of Benjamin came together from all their towns to Gibeah, to go to war with the children of Israel.

bbe@Judges:20:15 @And the children of Benjamin who came that day from the towns were twenty-six thousand men armed with swords, in addition to the people of Gibeah, numbering seven hundred of the best fighting-men,

bbe@Judges:20:17 @And the men of Israel, other than Benjamin, were four hundred thousand in number, all armed with swords; they were all men of war.

bbe@Judges:20:20 @And the men of Israel went out to war against Benjamin (and the men of Israel put their forces in fighting order against them at Gibeah).

bbe@Judges:20:21 @Then the children of Benjamin came out from Gibeah, cutting down twenty-two thousand of the Israelites that day.

bbe@Judges:20:22 @But the people, the men of Israel, taking heart again, put their forces in order and took up the same position as on the first day.

bbe@Judges:20:25 @And the second day Benjamin went out against them from Gibeah, cutting down eighteen thousand men of the children of Israel, all swordsmen.

bbe@Judges:20:27 @And the children of Israel made request to the Lord, (for the ark of the agreement of the Lord was there in those days,

bbe@Judges:20:29 @So Israel put men secretly all round Gibeah to make a surprise attack on it.

bbe@Judges:20:31 @And the children of Benjamin went out against the people, moving away from the town; and as before, at their first attack, they put to death about thirty men of Israel on the highways, of which one goes up to Beth-el and the other to Gibeah, and in the open country.

bbe@Judges:20:33 @So all the men of Israel got up and put themselves in fighting order at Baal-tamar: and those who had been waiting secretly to make a surprise attack came rushing out of their place on the west of Geba.

bbe@Judges:20:34 @And they came in front of Gibeah, ten thousand of the best men in all Israel, and the fighting became more violent; but the children of Benjamin were not conscious that evil was coming on them.

bbe@Judges:20:35 @Then the Lord sent sudden fear on Benjamin before Israel; and that day the children of Israel put to death twenty-five thousand, one hundred men of Benjamin, all of them swordsmen.

bbe@Judges:20:36 @So the children of Benjamin saw that they were overcome: and the men of Israel had given way before Benjamin, putting their faith in the watchers who were to make the surprise attack on Gibeah.

bbe@Judges:20:37 @And the watchers, rushing on Gibeah and overrunning it, put all the town to the sword without mercy.

bbe@Judges:20:38 @Now the sign fixed between the men of Israel and those making the surprise attack was that when they made a pillar of smoke go up from the town,

bbe@Judges:20:39 @The men of Israel were to make a turn about in the fight. And Benjamin had overcome and put to death about thirty of the men of Israel, and were saying, Certainly they are falling back before us as in the first fight.

bbe@Judges:20:41 @And the men of Israel had made a turn about, and the men of Benjamin were overcome with fear, for they saw that evil had overtaken them.

bbe@Judges:20:42 @So turning their backs on the men of Israel, they went in the direction of the waste land; but the fight overtook them; and those who came out of the town were heading them off and putting them to the sword.

bbe@Judges:20:44 @Eighteen thousand men of Benjamin came to their death, all strong men of war.

bbe@Judges:20:45 @And turning, they went in flight to the rock of Rimmon in the waste land: and on the highways five thousand of them were cut off by the men of Israel, who, pushing on hard after them to Geba, put to death two thousand more.

bbe@Judges:20:46 @So twenty-five thousand of the swordsmen of Benjamin came to their end that day, all strong men of war.

bbe@Judges:20:47 @But six hundred men, turning back, went in flight to the rock of Rimmon in the waste land, and were living on the rock of Rimmon for four months.

bbe@Judges:20:48 @And the men of Israel, turning again against the children of Benjamin, put to the sword without mercy all the towns and the cattle and everything there was, burning every town which came into their hands.

bbe@Judges:21:1 @Now the men of Israel had taken an oath in Mizpah, saying, Not one of us will give his daughter as a wife to Benjamin.

bbe@Judges:21:2 @And the people came to Beth-el, waiting there till evening before God, and gave themselves up to bitter weeping.

bbe@Judges:21:3 @And they said, O Lord, the God of Israel, why has this fate come on Israel, that today one tribe has been cut off from Israel?

bbe@Judges:21:5 @And the children of Israel said, Who is there among all the tribes of Israel, who did not come up to the Lord at the meeting of all Israel? For they had taken a great oath that whoever did not come up to Mizpah to the Lord was to be put to death.

bbe@Judges:21:8 @And they said, Which one of the tribes of Israel did not come up to Mizpah to the Lord? And it was seen that no one had come from Jabesh-gilead to the meeting.

bbe@Judges:21:10 @So they (the meeting) sent twelve thousand of the best fighting-men, and gave them orders, saying, Go and put the people of Jabesh-gilead to the sword without mercy, with their women and their little ones.

bbe@Judges:21:13 @And all the meeting sent to the men of Benjamin who were in the rock of Rimmon, offering them peace.

bbe@Judges:21:14 @Then Benjamin came back; and they gave them the women whom they had kept from death among the women of Jabesh-gilead: but still there were not enough for them

bbe@Judges:21:16 @Then the responsible men of the meeting said, What are we to do about wives for the rest of them, seeing that the women of Benjamin are dead?

bbe@Judges:21:20 @And they said to the men of Benjamin, Go into the vine-gardens, waiting there secretly,

bbe@Judges:21:21 @And watching; and if the daughters of Shiloh come out to take part in the dances, then come from the vine-gardens and take a wife for every one of you from among the daughters of Shiloh, and go back to the land of Benjamin.

bbe@Judges:21:22 @And when their fathers or their brothers come and make trouble, you are to say to them, Give them to us as an act of grace; for we did not take them as wives for ourselves in war; and if you yourselves had given them to us you would have been responsible for the broken oath.

bbe@Judges:21:23 @So the men of Benjamin did this, and got wives for themselves for every one of their number, taking them away by force from the dance; then they went back to their heritage, building up their towns and living in them.

bbe@Judges:21:25 @In those days there was no king in Israel: every man did what seemed right to him.

bbe@Ruth:1:1 @Now there came a time, in the days of the judges, when there was no food in the land. And a certain man went from Beth-lehem-judah, he and his wife and his two sons, to make a living-place in the country of Moab.

bbe@Ruth:1:2 @And the name of the man was Elimelech, and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Beth-lehem-judah. And they came into the country of Moab, and were there for some time.

bbe@Ruth:1:3 @And Elimelech, Naomi's husband, came to his end; and only her two sons were with her.

bbe@Ruth:1:4 @And they took two women of Moab as their wives: the name of the one was Orpah, and the name of the other Ruth; and they went on living there for about ten years.

bbe@Ruth:1:5 @And Mahlon and Chilion came to their end; and the woman was without her two sons and her husband.

bbe@Ruth:1:6 @So she and her daughters-in-law got ready to go back from the country of Moab, for news had come to her in the country of Moab that the Lord, in mercy for his people, had given them food.

bbe@Ruth:1:8 @And Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, Go back to your mothers' houses: may the Lord be good to you as you have been good to the dead and to me:

bbe@Ruth:1:11 @But Naomi said, Go back, my daughters; why will you come with me? Have I more sons in my body, to become your husbands?

bbe@Ruth:1:13 @Would you keep yourselves till they were old enough? would you keep from having husbands for them? No, my daughters; but I am very sad for you that the hand of the Lord is against me.

bbe@Ruth:1:16 @But Ruth said, Give up requesting me to go away from you, or to go back without you: for where you go I will go; and where you take your rest I will take my rest; your people will be my people, and your God my God.

bbe@Ruth:1:17 @Wherever death comes to you, death will come to me, and there will be my last resting-place; the Lord do so to me and more if we are parted by anything but death.

bbe@Ruth:1:19 @So the two of them went on till they came to Beth-lehem. And when they came to Beth-lehem all the town was moved about them, and they said, Is this Naomi?

bbe@Ruth:1:20 @And she said to them, Do not let my name be Naomi, but Mara, for the Ruler of all has given me a bitter fate.

bbe@Ruth:1:21 @I went out full, and the Lord has sent me back again with nothing; why do you give me the name Naomi, seeing that the Lord has given witness against me, and the Ruler of all has sent sorrow on me?

bbe@Ruth:1:22 @So Naomi came back out of the country of Moab, and Ruth the Moabitess, her daughter-in-law, with her; and they came to Beth-lehem in the first days of the grain-cutting.

bbe@Ruth:2:1 @And Naomi had a relation of her husband, a man of wealth, of the family of Elimelech; and his name was Boaz.

bbe@Ruth:2:2 @And Ruth the Moabitess said to Naomi, Now let me go into the field and take up the heads of grain after him in whose eyes I may have grace. And she said to her, Go, my daughter.

bbe@Ruth:2:3 @And she went, and came and took up the heads of grain in the field after the cutters; and by chance she went into that part of the field which was the property of Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech.

bbe@Ruth:2:4 @And Boaz came from Beth-lehem, and said to the grain-cutters, The Lord be with you. And they made answer, The Lord give you his blessing.

bbe@Ruth:2:6 @And the servant who was in authority over the cutters said, It is a Moabite girl who came back with Naomi out of the country of Moab;

bbe@Ruth:2:7 @And she said to me, Let me come into the grain-field and take up the grain after the cutters. So she came, and has been here from morning till now, without resting even for a minute.

bbe@Ruth:2:8 @Then said Boaz to Ruth, Give ear to me, my daughter: do not go to take up the grain in another field, or go away from here, but keep here by my young women:

bbe@Ruth:2:9 @Keep your eyes on the field they are cutting, and go after them; have I not given orders to the young men not to put a hand on you? And when you are in need of drink go to the vessels and take of what the young men have put there.

bbe@Ruth:2:10 @Then she went down on her face to the earth, and said to him, Why have I grace in your eyes, that you give attention to me, seeing I am from a strange people?

bbe@Ruth:2:11 @And Boaz answering said to her, I have had news of everything you have done for your mother-in-law after the death of your husband; how you went away from your father and mother and the land of your birth, and came to a people who are strange to you.

bbe@Ruth:2:12 @The Lord give you a reward for what you have done, and may a full reward be given to you by the Lord, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take cover.

bbe@Ruth:2:13 @Then she said, May I have grace in your eyes, my lord, for you have given me comfort, and you have said kind words to your servant, though I am not like one of your servants.

bbe@Ruth:2:14 @And at meal-time Boaz said to her, Come here, and take some of the bread, and put your bit into the wine. And she took her seat among the grain-cutters: and he gave her dry grain, and she took it, and there was more than enough for her meal.

bbe@Ruth:2:15 @And when she got ready to take up the grain, Boaz gave his young men orders, saying, Let her take it even from among the cut grain, and say nothing to her.

bbe@Ruth:2:16 @And let some heads of grain be pulled out of what has been corded up, and dropped for her to take, and let no sharp word be said to her.

bbe@Ruth:2:17 @So she went on getting together the heads of grain till evening; and after crushing out the seed it came to about an ephah of grain.

bbe@Ruth:2:19 @And her mother-in-law said to her, Where did you take up the grain today, and where were you working? May a blessing be on him who gave such attention to you. And she gave her mother-in-law an account of where she had been working, and said, The name of the man with whom I was working today is Boaz.

bbe@Ruth:2:20 @And Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, May the blessing of the Lord, who has at all times been kind to the living and to the dead, be on him. And Naomi said to her, The man is of our family, one of our near relations.

bbe@Ruth:2:21 @And Ruth the Moabitess said, Truly, he said to me, Keep near my young men till all my grain is cut.

bbe@Ruth:2:22 @And Naomi said to Ruth, her daughter-in-law, It is better, my daughter, for you to go out with his servant-girls, so that no danger may come to you in another field.

bbe@Ruth:3:2 @And now, is there not Boaz, our relation, with whose young women you were? See, tonight he is separating the grain from the waste in his grain-floor.

bbe@Ruth:3:3 @So take a bath, and, after rubbing your body with sweet oil, put on your best robe, and go down to the grain-floor; but do not let him see you till he has come to the end of his meal.

bbe@Ruth:3:7 @Now when Boaz had taken meat and drink, and his heart was glad, he went to take his rest at the end of the mass of grain; then she came softly and, uncovering his feet, went to rest.

bbe@Ruth:3:10 @And he said, May the Lord give you his blessing, my daughter: even better than what you did at the first is this last kind act you have done, in not going after young men, with or without wealth

bbe@Ruth:3:14 @And she took her rest at his feet till the morning: and she got up before it was light enough for one to see another. And he said, Let it not come to anyone's knowledge that the woman came to the grain-floor.

bbe@Ruth:3:15 @And he said, Take your robe, stretching it out in your hands: and she did so, and he took six measures of grain and put them into it, and gave it her to take: and she went back to the town.

bbe@Ruth:3:16 @And when she came back her mother-in-law said to her, How did it go with you, my daughter? And she gave her an account of all the man had done to her.

bbe@Ruth:3:17 @And she said, He gave me these six measures of grain, saying, Do not go back to your mother-in-law with nothing in your hands.

bbe@Ruth:3:18 @Then she said, Do nothing now, my daughter, till you see what will come of this; for the man will take no rest till he has put this thing through.

bbe@Ruth:4:1 @And Boaz went up to the public place of the town, and took his seat there: and the near relation of whom he had been talking came by; and Boaz, crying out to him by name, said, Come and be seated here. And he came and was seated.

bbe@Ruth:4:2 @Then he got ten of the responsible men of the town, and said, Be seated here. And they took their seats.

bbe@Ruth:4:3 @Then he said to the near relation, Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is offering for a price that bit of land which was our brother Elimelech's:

bbe@Ruth:4:4 @And it was in my mind to give you the chance of taking it, with the approval of those seated here and of the responsible men of my people. If you are ready to do what it is right for a relation to do, then do it: but if you will not do it, say so to me now; for there is no one who has the right to do it but you, and after you myself. And he said, I will do it.

bbe@Ruth:4:5 @Then Boaz said, On the day when you take this field, you will have to take with it Ruth, the Moabitess, the wife of the dead, so that you may keep the name of the dead living in his heritage.

bbe@Ruth:4:7 @Now, in earlier times this was the way in Israel when property was taken over by a near relation, or when there was a change of owner. To make the exchange certain one man took off his shoe and gave it to the other; and this was a witness in Israel.

bbe@Ruth:4:9 @Then Boaz said to the responsible men and to all the people, You are witnesses today that I have taken at a price from Naomi all the property which was Elimelech's, and everything which was Chilion's and Mahlon's.

bbe@Ruth:4:10 @And, further, I have taken Ruth, the Moabitess, who was the wife of Mahlon, to be my wife, to keep the name of the dead man living in his heritage, so that his name may not be cut off from among his countrymen, and from the memory of his town: you are witnesses this day

bbe@Ruth:4:11 @And all the people who were in the public place, and the responsible men, said, We are witnesses. May the Lord make this woman, who is about to come into your house, like Rachel and Leah, which two were the builders of the house of Israel: and may you have wealth in Ephrathah, and be great in Beth-lehem;

bbe@Ruth:4:13 @So Boaz took Ruth and she became his wife; and he went in to her, and the Lord made her with child and she gave birth to a son.

bbe@Ruth:4:14 @And the women said to Naomi, A blessing on the Lord, who has not let you be this day without a near relation, and may his name be great in Israel.

bbe@Ruth:4:17 @And the women who were her neighbours gave it a name, saying, Naomi has a child; and they gave him the name of Obed: he is the father of Jesse, the father of David.

bbe@Ruth:4:18 @Now these are the generations of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron;

bbe@Ruth:4:19 @And Hezron became the father of Ram, and Ram became the father of Amminadab;

bbe@Ruth:4:20 @And Amminadab became the father of Nahshon, and Nahshon became the father of Salmon;

bbe@Ruth:4:21 @And Salmon became the father of Boaz, and Boaz became the father of Obed;

bbe@Ruth:4:22 @And Obed became the father of Jesse, and Jesse became the father of David.

bbe@1Samuel:1:1 @Now there was a certain man of Ramathaim, a Zuphite of the hill-country of Ephraim, named Elkanah; he was the son of Jeroham, the son of Elihu, the son of Tohu, the son of Zuph, an Ephraimite:

bbe@1Samuel:1:2 @And he had two wives, one named Hannah and the other Peninnah: and Peninnah was the mother of children, but Hannah had no children.

bbe@1Samuel:1:4 @And when the day came for Elkanah to make his offering, he gave to Peninnah his wife, and to all her sons and daughters, their part of the feast:

bbe@1Samuel:1:11 @And she made an oath, and said, O Lord of armies, if you will truly take note of the sorrow of your servant, not turning away from me but keeping me in mind, and will give me a man-child, then I will give him to the Lord all the days of his life, and his hair will never be cut.

bbe@1Samuel:1:12 @Now while she was a long time in prayer before the Lord, Eli was watching her mouth.

bbe@1Samuel:1:13 @For Hannah's prayer came from her heart, and though her lips were moving she made no sound: so it seemed to Eli that she was overcome with wine.

bbe@1Samuel:1:16 @Do not take your servant to be a good-for-nothing woman: for my words have come from my stored-up sorrow and pain.

bbe@1Samuel:1:20 @Now the time came when Hannah, being with child, gave birth to a son; and she gave him the name Samuel, Because, she said, I made a prayer to the Lord for him.

bbe@1Samuel:1:22 @But Hannah did not go, for she said to her husband, I will not go till the child has been taken from the breast, and then I will take him with me and put him before the Lord, where he may be for ever.

bbe@1Samuel:1:24 @Then when she had done so, she took him with her, with a three-year old ox and an ephah of meal and a skin full of wine, and took him to the house of the Lord at Shiloh: now the child was still very young.

bbe@1Samuel:1:27 @My prayer was for this child; and the Lord has given him to me in answer to my request:

bbe@1Samuel:2:3 @Say no more words of pride; let not uncontrolled sayings come out of your mouths: for the Lord is a God of knowledge, by him acts are judged.

bbe@1Samuel:2:4 @The bows of the men of war are broken, and the feeble are clothed with strength.

bbe@1Samuel:2:5 @Those who were full are offering themselves as servants for bread; those who were in need are at rest; truly, she who had no children has become the mother of seven; and she who had a family is wasted with sorrow.

bbe@1Samuel:2:6 @The Lord is the giver of death and life: sending men down to the underworld and lifting them up.

bbe@1Samuel:2:7 @The Lord gives wealth and takes a man's goods from him: crushing men down and again lifting them up;

bbe@1Samuel:2:9 @He will keep the feet of his holy ones, but the evil-doers will come to their end in the dark night, for by strength no man will overcome.

bbe@1Samuel:2:11 @Then Elkanah went to Ramah to his house. And the child became the servant of the Lord under the direction of Eli the priest.

bbe@1Samuel:2:12 @Now the sons of Eli were evil and good-for-nothing men, having no knowledge of the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:2:13 @And the priests' way with the people was this: when any man made an offering, the priest's servant came while the flesh was being cooked, having in his hand a meat-hook with three teeth;

bbe@1Samuel:2:14 @This he put into the pot, and everything which came up on the hook the priest took for himself. This they did in Shiloh to all the Israelites who came there.

bbe@1Samuel:2:15 @And more than this, before the fat was burned, the priest's servant would come and say to the man who was making the offering, Give me some of the flesh to be cooked for the priest; he has no taste for meat cooked in water, but would have you give it uncooked.

bbe@1Samuel:2:16 @And if the man said to him, First let the fat be burned, then take as much as you will; then the servant would say, No, you are to give it to me now, or I will take it by force.

bbe@1Samuel:2:17 @And the sin of these young men was very great before the Lord; for they gave no honour to the Lord's offerings.

bbe@1Samuel:2:19 @And his mother made him a little robe and took it to him every year when she came with her husband for the year's offering.

bbe@1Samuel:2:21 @And the Lord had mercy on Hannah and she gave birth to three sons and two daughters. And the young Samuel became older before the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:2:22 @Now Eli was very old; and he had news from time to time of what his sons were doing to all Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:2:24 @No, my sons, the account which is given me, which the Lord's people are sending about, is not good.

bbe@1Samuel:2:26 @And the young Samuel, becoming older, had the approval of the Lord and of men.

bbe@1Samuel:2:27 @And a man of God came to Eli and said to him, The Lord says, Did I let myself be seen by your father's people when they were in Egypt, servants in Pharaoh's house?

bbe@1Samuel:2:29 @Why then are you looking with envy on my offerings of meat and of meal which were ordered by my word, honouring your sons before me, and making yourselves fat with all the best of the offerings of Israel, my people?

bbe@1Samuel:2:30 @For this reason the Lord God of Israel has said, Truly I did say that your family and your father's people would have their place before me for ever: but now the Lord says, Let it not be so; I will give honour to those by whom I am honoured, and those who have no respect for me will be of small value in my eyes.

bbe@1Samuel:2:33 @But one man of your family will not be cut off by my hand, and his eyes will be made dark, and grief will be in his heart: and all the offspring of your family will come to their end by the sword of men.

bbe@1Samuel:2:34 @And this will be the sign to you, which will come on Hophni and Phinehas, your sons; death will overtake them on the same day.

bbe@1Samuel:2:35 @And I will make a true priest for myself, one who will do what is in my heart and in my mind: and I will make for him a family which will not come to an end; and his place will be before my holy one for ever.

bbe@1Samuel:2:36 @Then it will be that the rest of your family, anyone who has not been cut off, will go down on his knees to him for a bit of silver or a bit of bread, and say, Be pleased to put me into one of the priest's places so that I may have a little food.

bbe@1Samuel:3:1 @Now the young Samuel was the servant of the Lord before Eli. In those days the Lord kept his word secret from men; there was no open vision.

bbe@1Samuel:3:2 @And at that time, when Eli was resting in his place, (now his eyes were becoming clouded so that he was not able to see,)

bbe@1Samuel:3:4 @The voice of the Lord said Samuel's name; and he said, Here am I.

bbe@1Samuel:3:5 @And running to Eli he said, Here am I, for you said my name. And Eli said, I did not say your name; go to your rest again. So he went back to his bed.

bbe@1Samuel:3:6 @And again the Lord said, Samuel. And Samuel got up and went to Eli and said, Here am I; for you certainly said my name. But he said in answer, I said nothing, my son; go to your rest again.

bbe@1Samuel:3:7 @Now at that time Samuel had no knowledge of the Lord, and the revelation of the word of the Lord had not come to him.

bbe@1Samuel:3:8 @And for the third time the Lord said Samuel's name. And he got up and went to Eli and said, Here am I; for you certainly said my name. Then it was clear to Eli that the voice which had said the child's name was the Lord's.

bbe@1Samuel:3:9 @So Eli said to Samuel, Go back: and if the voice comes again, let your answer be, Say on, Lord; for the ears of your servant are open. So Samuel went back to his bed.

bbe@1Samuel:3:10 @Then the Lord came and said as before, Samuel, Samuel

bbe@1Samuel:3:13 @And you are to say to him that I will send punishment on his family for ever, for the sin which he had knowledge of; because his sons have been cursing God and he had no control over them.

bbe@1Samuel:3:14 @So I have made an oath to the family of Eli that no offering of meat or of meal which they may make will ever take away the sin of his family.

bbe@1Samuel:3:15 @And Samuel kept where he was, not moving till the time came for opening the doors of the house of God in the morning. And fear kept him from giving Eli an account of his vision.

bbe@1Samuel:3:17 @And he said, What did the Lord say to you? Do not keep it from me: may God's punishment be on you if you keep from me anything he said to you.

bbe@1Samuel:3:19 @And Samuel became older, and the Lord was with him and let not one of his words be without effect.

bbe@1Samuel:4:1 @Now at that time the Philistines came together to make war against Israel, and the men of Israel went out to war against the Philistines and took up their position at the side of Eben-ezer: and the Philistines put their forces in position in Aphek.

bbe@1Samuel:4:2 @And the Philistines put their forces in order against Israel, and the fighting was hard, and Israel was overcome by the Philistines, who put to the sword about four thousand of their army in the field.

bbe@1Samuel:4:3 @And when the people came back to their tents, the responsible men of Israel said, Why has the Lord let the Philistines overcome us today? Let us get the ark of the Lord's agreement here from Shiloh, so that it may be with us and give us salvation from the hands of those who are against us.

bbe@1Samuel:4:4 @So the people sent to Shiloh and got the ark of the agreement of the Lord of armies whose resting-place is between the winged ones; and Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were there with the ark of God's agreement.

bbe@1Samuel:4:5 @And when the ark of the Lord's agreement came into the tent-circle, all Israel gave a great cry, so that the earth was sounding with it.

bbe@1Samuel:4:6 @And the Philistines, hearing the noise of their cry, said, What is this great cry among the tents of the Hebrews? Then it became clear to them that the ark of the Lord had come to the tent-circle.

bbe@1Samuel:4:7 @And the Philistines, full of fear, said, God has come into their tents. And they said, Trouble is ours! for never before has such a thing been seen.

bbe@1Samuel:4:9 @Be strong, O Philistines, be men! Do not be servants to the Hebrews as they have been to you: go forward to the fight without fear.

bbe@1Samuel:4:10 @So the Philistines went to the fight, and Israel was overcome, and every man went in flight to his tent: and great was the destruction, for thirty thousand footmen of Israel were put to the sword

bbe@1Samuel:4:12 @And a man of Benjamin went running from the fight and came to Shiloh the same day with his clothing out of order and earth on his head.

bbe@1Samuel:4:13 @And when he came, Eli was seated by the wayside watching: and in his heart was fear for the ark of God. And when the man came into the town and gave the news, there was a great outcry.

bbe@1Samuel:4:14 @And Eli, hearing the noise and the cries, said, What is the reason of this outcry? And the man came quickly and gave the news to Eli.

bbe@1Samuel:4:16 @And the man said to Eli, I have come from the army and have come in flight today from the fight. And he said, How did it go, my son?

bbe@1Samuel:4:18 @And at these words about the ark of God, Eli, falling back off his seat by the side of the doorway into the town, came down on the earth so that his neck was broken and death overtook him, for he was an old man and of great weight. He had been judging Israel for forty years.

bbe@1Samuel:4:19 @And his daughter-in-law, the wife of Phinehas, was with child and near the time when she would give birth; and when she had the news that the ark of God had been taken and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, her pains came on her suddenly and she gave birth.

bbe@1Samuel:4:20 @And when she was very near death the women who were with her said, Have no fear, for you have given birth to a son. But she made no answer and gave no attention to it.

bbe@1Samuel:4:21 @And she gave the child the name of Ichabod, saying, The glory has gone from Israel: because the ark of God was taken and because of her father-in-law and her husband.

bbe@1Samuel:5:3 @And when the people of Ashdod got up early on the morning after, they saw that Dagon had come down to the earth on his face before the ark of the Lord. And they took Dagon up and put him in his place again.

bbe@1Samuel:5:4 @And when they got up early on the morning after, Dagon had come down to the earth on his face before the ark of the Lord; and his head and his hands were broken off on the doorstep; only the base was in its place.

bbe@1Samuel:5:5 @So to this day no priest of Dagon, or any who come into Dagon's house, will put his foot on the doorstep of the house of Dagon in Ashdod.

bbe@1Samuel:5:7 @And when the men of Ashdod saw how it was, they said, Let not the ark of the God of Israel be with us, for his hand is hard on us and on Dagon our god.

bbe@1Samuel:5:8 @So they sent for all the lords of the Philistines to come together there, and said, What are we to do with the ark of the God of Israel? And their answer was, Let the ark of the God of Israel be taken away to Gath. So they took the ark of the God of Israel away.

bbe@1Samuel:5:9 @But after they had taken it away, the hand of the Lord was stretched out against the town for its destruction: and the signs of disease came out on all the men of the town, small and great.

bbe@1Samuel:5:10 @So they sent the ark of God to Ekron. And when the ark of God came to Ekron, the people of the town made an outcry, saying, They have sent the ark of the God of Israel to us for the destruction of us and of our people.

bbe@1Samuel:5:12 @And those men who were not overtaken by death were cruelly diseased: and the cry of the town went up to heaven

bbe@1Samuel:6:4 @Then they said, What sin-offering are we to send to him? And they said, Five gold images of the growths caused by your disease and five gold mice, one for every lord of the Philistines: for the same disease came on you and on your lords.

bbe@1Samuel:6:7 @So now, take and make ready a new cart, and two cows which have never come under the yoke, and have the cows yoked to the cart, and take their young ones away from them:

bbe@1Samuel:6:9 @If it goes by the land of Israel to Beth-shemesh, then this great evil is his work; but if not, then we may be certain that the evil was not his doing, but was the working of chance.

bbe@1Samuel:6:10 @And the men did so; they took two cows, yoking them to the cart and shutting up their young ones in their living-place:

bbe@1Samuel:6:12 @And the cows took the straight way, by the road to Beth-shemesh; they went by the highway, not turning to the right or to the left, and the sound of their voices was clear on the road; and the lords of the Philistines went after them as far as the edge of Beth-shemesh.

bbe@1Samuel:6:13 @And the people of Beth-shemesh were cutting their grain in the valley, and lifting up their eyes they saw the ark and were full of joy when they saw it.

bbe@1Samuel:6:14 @And the cart came into the field of Joshua the Beth-shemite, and came to a stop there by a great stone: and cutting up the wood of the cart they made a burned offering of the cows to the Lord

bbe@1Samuel:6:15 @Then the Levites took down the ark of the Lord and the chest in which were the gold images, and put them on the great stone: and the men of Beth-shemesh made burned offerings and gave worship that day before the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:6:16 @And the five lords of the Philistines, having seen it, went back to Ekron the same day.

bbe@1Samuel:6:19 @But the Lord sent destruction on seventy men of the people of Beth-shemesh for looking into the ark of the Lord; and great was the sorrow of the people for the destruction which the Lord had sent on them.

bbe@1Samuel:6:20 @And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to keep his place before the Lord, this holy God? and to whom may he go from us?

bbe@1Samuel:6:21 @And they sent men to the people living in Kiriath-jearim, saying, The Philistines have sent back the ark of the Lord; come and take it up to your country.

bbe@1Samuel:7:1 @So the men of Kiriath-jearim came and took the ark of the Lord to the house of Abinadab in Gibeah, and they made his son Eleazar holy and put the ark in his care.

bbe@1Samuel:7:2 @And the ark was in Kiriath-jearim for a long time, as much as twenty years: and all Israel was searching after the Lord with weeping.

bbe@1Samuel:7:3 @Then Samuel said to all Israel, If with all your hearts you would come back to the Lord, then put away all the strange gods and the Astartes from among you, and let your hearts be turned to the Lord, and be servants to him only: and he will make you safe from the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:7:4 @So the children of Israel gave up the worship of Baal and Astarte, and became worshippers of the Lord only.

bbe@1Samuel:7:5 @Then Samuel said, Let all Israel come to Mizpah and I will make prayer to the Lord for you.

bbe@1Samuel:7:6 @So they came together to Mizpah, and got water, draining it out before the Lord, and they took no food that day, and they said, We have done evil against the Lord. And Samuel was judge of the children of Israel in Mizpah.

bbe@1Samuel:7:7 @Now when the Philistines had news that the children of Israel had come together at Mizpah, the lords of the Philistines went up against Israel. And the children of Israel, hearing of it, were full of fear.

bbe@1Samuel:7:10 @And while Samuel was offering the burned offering, the Philistines came near for the attack on Israel; but at the thunder of the Lord's voice that day the Philistines were overcome with fear, and they gave way before Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:7:11 @And the men of Israel went out from Mizpah and went after the Philistines, attacking them till they came under Beth-car.

bbe@1Samuel:7:13 @So the Philistines were overcome, and did not come into the country of Israel again: and all the days of Samuel the hand of the Lord was against the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:8:2 @The name of his first son was Joel and the name of his second Abijah: they were judges in Beer-sheba.

bbe@1Samuel:8:4 @Then all the responsible men of Israel got together and went to Samuel at Ramah,

bbe@1Samuel:8:7 @And the Lord said to Samuel, Give ear to the voice of the people and what they say to you: they have not been turned away from you, but they have been turned away from me, not desiring me to be king over them.

bbe@1Samuel:8:8 @As they have done from the first, from the day when I took them out of Egypt till this day, turning away from me and worshipping other gods, so now they are acting in the same way to you.

bbe@1Samuel:8:11 @And he said, This is the sort of king who will be your ruler: he will take your sons and make them his servants, his horsemen, and drivers of his war-carriages, and they will go running before his war-carriages;

bbe@1Samuel:8:12 @And he will make them captains of thousands and of fifties; some he will put to work ploughing and cutting his grain and making his instruments of war and building his war-carriages.

bbe@1Samuel:8:13 @Your daughters he will take to be makers of perfumes and cooks and bread-makers.

bbe@1Samuel:8:16 @He will take your men-servants and your servant-girls, and the best of your oxen and your asses and put them to his work.

bbe@1Samuel:8:22 @And the Lord said to Samuel, Give ear to their voice and make a king for them. Then Samuel said to the men of Israel, Let every man go back to his town.

bbe@1Samuel:9:1 @Now there was a man of Benjamin named Kish, the son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah, a Benjamite, a man of wealth.

bbe@1Samuel:9:2 @He had a son named Saul, a specially good-looking young man; there was no one better-looking among the children of Israel: he was taller by a head than any other of the people.

bbe@1Samuel:9:4 @So they went through the hill-country of Ephraim and through the land of Shalishah, but they saw no sign of them: then they went through the land of Shaalim, but they were not there: and they went through the land of the Benjamites, but they did not come across them.

bbe@1Samuel:9:5 @And when they had come to the land of Zuph, Saul said to the servant who was with him, Come, let us go back, or my father may give up caring about the asses and be troubled about us.

bbe@1Samuel:9:6 @But the servant said to him, See now, in this town there is a man of God, who is highly honoured, and everything he says comes true: let us go there now; it may be that he will give us directions about our journey.

bbe@1Samuel:9:9 @(In the past in Israel, when a man went to get directions from God, he said, Come let us go to the Seer, for he who now is named Prophet was in those days given the name of Seer.)

bbe@1Samuel:9:10 @Then Saul said to his servant, You have said well; come, let us go. So they went to the town where the man of God was.

bbe@1Samuel:9:11 @And when they were on the way up to the town, they saw some young girls going out to get water and said to them, Is the seer here?

bbe@1Samuel:9:12 @And they said, He is; in fact he is before you: go quickly now, for he has come into the town today, for the people are making an offering in the high place today:

bbe@1Samuel:9:13 @When you come into the town you will see him straight away, before he goes up to the high place for the feast: the people are waiting for his blessing before starting the feast, and after that the guests will take part in it. So go up now and you will see him.

bbe@1Samuel:9:14 @So they went up to the town, and when they came inside the town, Samuel came face to face with them on his way to the high place.

bbe@1Samuel:9:15 @Now the day before Saul came, the word of God had come to Samuel, saying,

bbe@1Samuel:9:16 @Tomorrow about this time I will send you a man from the land of Benjamin, and on him you are to put the holy oil, making him ruler over my people Israel, and he will make my people safe from the hands of the Philistines: for I have seen the sorrow of my people, whose cry has come up to me.

bbe@1Samuel:9:18 @Then Saul came up to Samuel in the doorway of the town and said, Give me directions, if you will be so good, to the house of the seer.

bbe@1Samuel:9:19 @Then Samuel said to Saul, I am the seer; go up before me to the high place and take food with me today: and in the morning I will let you go, after opening to you all the secrets of your heart.

bbe@1Samuel:9:20 @As for your asses which have been wandering for three days, give no thought to them, for they have come back

bbe@1Samuel:9:21 @And Saul said, Am I not a man of Benjamin, the smallest of all the tribes of Israel? and my family the least of the families of Benjamin? why then do you say these words to me?

bbe@1Samuel:9:23 @And Samuel said to the cook, Give me that part which I gave you orders to keep by you.

bbe@1Samuel:9:24 @And the cook took up the leg with the fat tail on it, and put it before Saul. And Samuel said, This is the part which has been kept for you: take it as your part of the feast; because it has been kept for you till the right time came and till the guests were present. So that day Saul took food with Samuel.

bbe@1Samuel:9:25 @And when they had come down from the high place into the town, where a bed was made ready for Saul, he went to rest.

bbe@1Samuel:10:2 @When you have gone away from me today, you will see two men by the resting-place of Rachel's body, in the land of Benjamin at Zelzah; and they will say to you, The asses which you went in search of have come back, and now your father, caring no longer for the asses, is troubled about you, saying, What am I to do about my son?

bbe@1Samuel:10:3 @Then you are to go on from there, and when you come to the oak-tree of Tabor, you will see three men going up to God to Beth-el, one having with him three young goats and another three cakes of bread and another a skin full of wine:

bbe@1Samuel:10:5 @After that you will come to Gibeah, the hill of God, where an armed force of the Philistines is stationed: and when you come to the town, you will see a band of prophets coming down from the high place with instruments of music before them; and they will be acting like prophets:

bbe@1Samuel:10:6 @And the spirit of the Lord will come on you with power, and you will be acting like a prophet with them, and will be changed into another man.

bbe@1Samuel:10:7 @And when these signs come to you, see that you take the chance which is offered you; for God is with you.

bbe@1Samuel:10:8 @Then you are to go down before me to Gilgal, where I will come to you, for the offering of burned offerings and peace-offerings: go on waiting there for seven days till I come to you and make clear to you what you have to do.

bbe@1Samuel:10:9 @And it came about, that when he went away from Samuel, God gave him a changed heart: and all those signs took place that day

bbe@1Samuel:10:10 @And when they came to Gibeah, a band of prophets came face to face with him; and the spirit of God came on him with power and he took his place among them as a prophet.

bbe@1Samuel:10:11 @Now when Saul's old friends saw him among the band of prophets, the people said to one another, What has come to Saul, the son of Kish? Is even Saul among the prophets?

bbe@1Samuel:10:12 @And one of the people of that place said in answer, And who is their father? So it became a common saying, Is even Saul among the prophets?

bbe@1Samuel:10:13 @Then going away from the prophets, he came to the house.

bbe@1Samuel:10:14 @And Saul's father's brother said to him and his servant, Where have you been? And he said, Searching for the asses: and when we saw no sign of them, we came to Samuel.

bbe@1Samuel:10:16 @And Saul, answering him, said, He gave us word that the asses had come back. But he said nothing to him of Samuel's words about the kingdom.

bbe@1Samuel:10:17 @Then Samuel sent for the people to come together before the Lord at Mizpah;

bbe@1Samuel:10:20 @So Samuel made all the tribes of Israel come near, and the tribe of Benjamin was taken.

bbe@1Samuel:10:21 @Then he made the tribe of Benjamin come near by families, and the family of the Matrites was taken: and from them, Saul, the son of Kish, was taken: but when they went in search of him he was nowhere to be seen.

bbe@1Samuel:10:23 @So they went quickly and made him come out; and when he took his place among the people, he was taller by a head than any of the people.

bbe@1Samuel:10:26 @And Saul went to Gibeah, to his house; and with him went the men of war whose hearts had been touched by God.

bbe@1Samuel:11:1 @Then about a month after this, Nahash the Ammonite came up and put his forces in position for attacking Jabesh-gilead: and all the men of Jabesh said to Nahash, Make an agreement with us and we will be your servants.

bbe@1Samuel:11:2 @And Nahash the Ammonite said to them, I will make an agreement with you on this condition, that all your right eyes are put out; so that I may make it a cause of shame to all Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:11:3 @Then the responsible men of Jabesh said to him, Give us seven days, so that we may send men to every part of Israel: and then, if no one comes to our help, we will come out to you.

bbe@1Samuel:11:5 @Now Saul came from the field, driving the oxen before him; and he said, Why are the people weeping? And they gave him word of what the men of Jabesh had said.

bbe@1Samuel:11:6 @And at their words, the spirit of God came on Saul with power, and he became very angry.

bbe@1Samuel:11:7 @And he took two oxen and, cutting them up, sent them through all the land of Israel by the hand of runners, saying, If any man does not come out after Saul and Samuel, this will be done to his oxen. And the fear of the Lord came on the people and they came out like one man.

bbe@1Samuel:11:8 @And he had them numbered in Bezek: the children of Israel were three hundred thousand, and the men of Judah thirty thousand.

bbe@1Samuel:11:9 @Then he said to the representatives who had come, Say to the men of Jabesh-gilead, Tomorrow, by the time the sun is high, you will be made safe. And the representatives came and gave the news to the men of Jabesh; and they were glad.

bbe@1Samuel:11:10 @So the men of Jabesh said, Tomorrow we will come out to you, and you may do to us whatever seems good to you.

bbe@1Samuel:11:11 @Now on the day after, Saul put the people into three bands, and in the morning watch they came to the tents of the Ammonites, and they went on attacking them till the heat of the day: and those who were not put to death were put to flight in every direction, so that no two of them were together

bbe@1Samuel:11:12 @And the people said to Samuel, Who was it who said, Is Saul to be our king? give the men up, so that we may put them to death.

bbe@1Samuel:11:14 @Then Samuel said to the people, Come, let us go to Gilgal and there make the kingdom strong in the hands of Saul.

bbe@1Samuel:11:15 @So all the people went to Gilgal; and there in Gilgal they made Saul king before the Lord; and peace-offerings were offered before the Lord; and there Saul and all the men of Israel were glad with great joy.

bbe@1Samuel:12:1 @And Samuel said to all Israel, You see that I have given ear to everything you said to me, and have made a king over you.

bbe@1Samuel:12:3 @Here I am: give witness against me before the Lord and before the man on whom he has put the holy oil: whose ox or ass have I taken? to whom have I been untrue? who has been crushed down by me? from whose hand have I taken a price for the blinding of my eyes? I will give it all back to you.

bbe@1Samuel:12:5 @Then he said, The Lord is witness against you, and the man on whom he has put the holy oil is witness this day that you have seen no wrong in me. And they said, He is witness.

bbe@1Samuel:12:7 @Keep your places now, while I take up the argument with you before the Lord, and give you the story of the righteousness of the Lord, which he has made clear by his acts to you and to your fathers.

bbe@1Samuel:12:8 @When Jacob and his sons had come into Egypt, and were crushed by the Egyptians, the prayers of your fathers came up to the Lord, and the Lord sent Moses and Aaron, who took your fathers out of Egypt, and he put them into this place.

bbe@1Samuel:12:12 @And when you saw that Nahash, the king of the Ammonites, was coming against you, you said to me, No more of this; we will have a king for our ruler: when the Lord your God was your king.

bbe@1Samuel:12:17 @Is it not now the time of the grain cutting? My cry will go up to the Lord and he will send thunder and rain: so that you may see and be conscious of your great sin which you have done in the eyes of the Lord in desiring a king for yourselves.

bbe@1Samuel:12:22 @For the Lord will not give his people up, because of the honour of his name; for it was the Lord's pleasure to make of you a people for himself.

bbe@1Samuel:12:23 @And as for me, never will I go against the orders of the Lord by giving up my prayers for you: but I will go on teaching you the good and right way.

bbe@1Samuel:13:2 @And Saul took for himself three thousand men of Israel, of whom he kept two thousand with him in Michmash and in the mountain of Beth-el, and a thousand were with Jonathan in Gibeah in the land of Benjamin: the rest of the people he sent back to their tents.

bbe@1Samuel:13:3 @And Jonathan made an attack on the armed force of the Philistines stationed at Gibeah; and news was given to the Philistines that the Hebrews were turned against them. And Saul had a horn sounded through all the land,

bbe@1Samuel:13:4 @And all Israel had the news that Saul had made an attack on the Philistines, and that Israel was bitterly hated by the Philistines. And the people came together after Saul to Gilgal.

bbe@1Samuel:13:5 @And the Philistines came together to make war on Israel, three thousand war-carriages and six thousand horsemen and an army of people like the sands of the sea in number: they came up and took up their position in Michmash, to the east of Beth-aven.

bbe@1Samuel:13:6 @When the men of Israel saw the danger they were in, (for the people were troubled,) they took cover in cracks in the hillsides and in the woods and in rocks and holes and hollows.

bbe@1Samuel:13:8 @And he went on waiting there for seven days, the time fixed by Samuel: but Samuel did not come to Gilgal; and the people were starting to go away from him.

bbe@1Samuel:13:9 @Then Saul said, Come here and give me the burned offering and the peace-offerings. And he made a burned offering to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:13:10 @And when the burned offering was ended, Samuel came; and Saul went out to see him and to give him a blessing.

bbe@1Samuel:13:11 @And Samuel said, What have you done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were going away from me, and you had not come at the time which had been fixed, and the Philistines had come together at Michmash;

bbe@1Samuel:13:12 @I said, Now the Philistines will come down on me at Gilgal, and I have made no prayer for help to the Lord: and so, forcing myself to do it, I made a burned offering.

bbe@1Samuel:13:15 @Then Samuel went up from Gilgal and the rest of the people went up after Saul against the men of war, and they came from Gilgal to Gibeah in the land of Benjamin: and Saul took the number of the people who were with him, about six hundred men

bbe@1Samuel:13:17 @And three bands of men came out from the Philistines to make an attack; one band went by the road which goes to Ophrah, into the land of Shual:

bbe@1Samuel:13:21 @For they had instruments for putting an edge on their ploughs and blades and forks and axes, and for putting iron points on their ox-driving rods.

bbe@1Samuel:13:23 @And the armed force of the Philistines went out to the narrow way of Michmash.

bbe@1Samuel:14:1 @Now one day Jonathan, the son of Saul, said to the young man who was with him, looking after his arms, Come, let us go over to the Philistine force over there. But he said nothing to his father.

bbe@1Samuel:14:2 @And Saul was still waiting in the farthest part of Geba, under the fruit-tree in Migron: there were about six hundred men with him;

bbe@1Samuel:14:4 @Now between the narrow roads over the mountains by which Jonathan was making his way to the Philistines' forces, there was a sharp overhanging rock on one side, and a sharp rock on the other side: one was named Bozez and the other Seneh.

bbe@1Samuel:14:6 @And Jonathan said to his young servant who had his arms, Come, let us go over to the armies of these men who have no circumcision: it may be that the Lord will give us help, for there is no limit to his power; the Lord is able to give salvation by a great army or by a small band.

bbe@1Samuel:14:8 @Then Jonathan said, Now we will go over to these men and let them see us.

bbe@1Samuel:14:9 @If they say to us, Keep quiet where you are till we come to you; then we will keep our places and not go up to them.

bbe@1Samuel:14:10 @But if they say, Come up to us; then we will go up, for the Lord has given them into our hands: and this will be the sign to us.

bbe@1Samuel:14:12 @And the armed men of the force gave Jonathan and his servant their answer, saying, Come up here to us, and we will let you see something. Then Jonathan said to his servant, Come up after me: for the Lord has given them up into the hands of Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:14:14 @And at their first attack, Jonathan and his servant put to the sword about twenty men, all inside the space of half an acre of land.

bbe@1Samuel:14:15 @And there was great fear in the tents and in the field and among all the men of the armed force, and the attackers were shaking with fear; even the earth was moved with a great shaking and there was a fear as from God.

bbe@1Samuel:14:16 @And the watchmen of Saul, looking out from Geba in the land of Benjamin, saw all the army flowing away and running here and there.

bbe@1Samuel:14:18 @And Saul said to Ahijah, Let the ephod come here. For he went before Israel with the ephod at that time.

bbe@1Samuel:14:19 @Now while Saul was talking to the priest, the noise in the tents of the Philistines became louder and louder; and Saul said to the priest, Take back your hand.

bbe@1Samuel:14:20 @And Saul and all the people with him came together and went forward to the fight: and every man's sword was turned against the man at his side, and there was a very great noise.

bbe@1Samuel:14:21 @Then the Hebrews who had been with the Philistines for some time, and had gone up with them to their tents, turning round were joined to those who were with Saul and Jonathan.

bbe@1Samuel:14:22 @And all the men of Israel who had taken cover in the hill-country of Ephraim, hearing that the Philistines had been put to flight, went after them, attacking them.

bbe@1Samuel:14:24 @And all the people were with Saul, about twenty thousand men, and the fight was general through all the hill-country of Ephraim; but Saul made a great error that day, by putting the people under an oath, saying, Let that man be cursed who takes food before evening comes and I have given punishment to those who are against me. So the people had not a taste of food.

bbe@1Samuel:14:25 @And there was honey on the face of the field, and all the people came to the honey, the bees having gone from it;

bbe@1Samuel:14:29 @Then Jonathan said, My father has made trouble come on the land: now see how bright my eyes have become because I have taken a little of this honey.

bbe@1Samuel:14:31 @That day they overcame the Philistines from Michmash to Aijalon: and the people were feeble from need of food.

bbe@1Samuel:14:32 @And rushing at the goods taken in the fight, the people took oxen and sheep and young oxen, and put them to death there on the earth, and had a meal, taking the flesh with the blood in it.

bbe@1Samuel:14:33 @Then it was said to Saul, See, the people are sinning against the Lord, taking the blood with the flesh. And he said to those who gave him the news, Now let a great stone be rolled to me here.

bbe@1Samuel:14:34 @And Saul said, Go about among the people and say to them, Let every man come here to me with his ox and his sheep, and put them to death here, and take his meal: do no sin against the Lord by taking the blood with the flesh. So all the people took their oxen with them that night and put them to death there.

bbe@1Samuel:14:36 @And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, attacking them till the morning, till there is not a man of them living. And they said, Do whatever seems right to you. Then the priest said, Let us come near to God.

bbe@1Samuel:14:38 @And Saul said, Come near, all you chiefs of the people, and let us get word from God and see in whom is this sin today.

bbe@1Samuel:14:41 @Then Saul said to the Lord, the God of Israel, Why have you not given me an answer today? If the sin is in me or in Jonathan my son, O Lord God of Israel, give Urim, and if it is in your people Israel, give Thummim. And by the decision of the Lord, Saul and Jonathan were marked out, and the people went free.

bbe@1Samuel:14:42 @And Saul said, Give your decision between my son Jonathan and me. And Jonathan was taken.

bbe@1Samuel:14:43 @Then Saul said to Jonathan, Give me an account of what you have done. And Jonathan gave him the story and said, Certainly I took a little honey on the end of my rod; and now death is to be my fate.

bbe@1Samuel:14:44 @And Saul said, May God's punishment be on me if death is not your fate, Jonathan.

bbe@1Samuel:14:45 @And the people said to Saul, Is death to come to Jonathan, the worker of this great salvation for Israel? Let it not be so: by the living Lord, not one hair of his head is to be touched, for he has been working with God today. So the people kept Jonathan from death.

bbe@1Samuel:14:47 @Now when Saul had taken his place as ruler of Israel, he made war on those who were against him on every side, Moab and the Ammonites and Edom and the kings of Zobah and the Philistines: and whichever way he went, he overcame them.

bbe@1Samuel:14:48 @And he did great things, and overcame the Amalekites, and made Israel safe from the hands of their attackers.

bbe@1Samuel:14:49 @Now the sons of Saul were Jonathan and Ishvi and Malchi-shua; and these are the names of his daughters: the older was named Merab and the younger Michal;

bbe@1Samuel:14:50 @The name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the daughter of Ahimaaz; the captain of his army was Abner, the son of Ner, brother of Saul's father.

bbe@1Samuel:15:1 @And Samuel said to Saul, The Lord sent me to put the holy oil on you and to make you king over his people, over Israel: so give ear now to the words of the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:15:2 @The Lord of armies says, I will give punishment to Amalek for what he did to Israel, fighting against him on the way when Israel came out of Egypt.

bbe@1Samuel:15:3 @Go now and put Amalek to the sword, putting to the curse all they have, without mercy: put to death every man and woman, every child and baby at the breast, every ox and sheep, camel and ass.

bbe@1Samuel:15:4 @And Saul sent for the people and had them numbered in Telaim, two hundred thousand footmen and ten thousand men of Judah.

bbe@1Samuel:15:5 @And Saul came to the town of Amalek, and took up his position in the valley secretly.

bbe@1Samuel:15:6 @And Saul said to the Kenites, Go away, take yourselves out from among the Amalekites, or destruction will overtake you with them: for you were kind to the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt. So the Kenites went away from among the Amalekites.

bbe@1Samuel:15:8 @He took Agag, king of the Amalekites, prisoner, and put all the people to the sword without mercy.

bbe@1Samuel:15:12 @And early in the morning he got up and went to Saul; and word was given to Samuel that Saul had come to Carmel and put up a pillar, and had gone from there down to Gilgal.

bbe@1Samuel:15:13 @And Samuel came to Saul; and Saul said to him, May the blessing of the Lord be with you: I have done what was ordered by the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:15:14 @And Samuel said, What then is this sound of the crying of sheep and the noise of oxen which comes to my ears?

bbe@1Samuel:15:16 @Then Samuel said to Saul, Say no more! Let me give you word of what the Lord has said to me this night. And he said to him, Say on.

bbe@1Samuel:15:20 @And Saul said, Truly, I have done the orders of the Lord and have gone the way the Lord sent me; I have taken Agag, the king of Amalek, and have given the Amalekites up to destruction.

bbe@1Samuel:15:21 @But the people took some of their goods, sheep and oxen, the chief of the things which were put to the curse, to make an offering of them to the Lord your God in Gilgal.

bbe@1Samuel:15:25 @So now, let my sin have forgiveness, and go back with me to give worship to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:15:27 @And when Samuel was turning round to go away, Saul took the skirt of his robe in his hand, and the cloth came away.

bbe@1Samuel:15:30 @Then he said, Great is my sin: but still, give me honour now before the heads of my people and before Israel, and come back with me so that I may give worship to the Lord your God.

bbe@1Samuel:15:32 @Then Samuel said, Make Agag, the king of the Amalekites, come here to me. And Agag came to him shaking with fear. And Agag said, Truly the pain of death is past.

bbe@1Samuel:15:33 @And Samuel said, As your sword has made women without children, so now your mother will be without children among women. And Agag was cut up by Samuel, bone from bone, before the Lord in Gilgal.

bbe@1Samuel:16:2 @And Samuel said, How is it possible for me to go? If Saul gets news of it he will put me to death. And the Lord said, Take a young cow with you and say, I have come to make an offering to the Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:16:3 @And send for Jesse to be present at the offering, and I will make clear to you what you are to do: and you are to put the holy oil on him whose name I give you.

bbe@1Samuel:16:4 @And Samuel did as the Lord said and came to Beth-lehem. And the responsible men of the town came out to him in fear and said, Do you come in peace?

bbe@1Samuel:16:5 @And he said, In peace: I have come to make an offering to the Lord: make yourselves clean and come with me to make the offering. And he made Jesse and his sons clean, and sent for them to be present at the offering.

bbe@1Samuel:16:6 @Now when they came, looking at Eliab, he said, Clearly the man of the Lord's selection is before him.

bbe@1Samuel:16:8 @Then Jesse sent for Abinadab and made him come before Samuel. And he said, The Lord has not taken this one.

bbe@1Samuel:16:9 @Then Jesse made Shammah come before him. And he said, The Lord has not taken this one.

bbe@1Samuel:16:10 @And Jesse made his seven sons come before Samuel. And Samuel said to Jesse, The Lord has not taken any of these.

bbe@1Samuel:16:11 @Then Samuel said to Jesse, Are all your children here? And he said, There is still the youngest, and he is looking after the sheep. And Samuel said to Jesse, Send and make him come here: for we will not take our seats till he is here.

bbe@1Samuel:16:12 @So he sent and made him come in. Now he had red hair and beautiful eyes and pleasing looks. And the Lord said, Come, put the oil on him, for this is he.

bbe@1Samuel:16:13 @Then Samuel took the bottle of oil, and put the oil on him there among his brothers: and from that day the spirit of the Lord came on David with power. So Samuel went back to Ramah.

bbe@1Samuel:16:16 @Now give orders to your servants who are here before you to go in search of a man who is an expert player on a corded instrument: and it will be that when the evil spirit from God is on you, he will make music for you on his instrument, and you will get well.

bbe@1Samuel:16:17 @And Saul said to his servants, Then get me a man who is an expert player, and make him come to me.

bbe@1Samuel:16:19 @So Saul sent his servants to Jesse and said, Send me your son David who is with the sheep.

bbe@1Samuel:16:21 @And David came to Saul, waiting before him: and he became very dear to Saul, who made him his servant, giving him the care of his arms

bbe@1Samuel:16:22 @And Saul sent to Jesse saying, Let David be with me, for he is pleasing to me.

bbe@1Samuel:16:23 @And whenever the evil spirit from God came on Saul, David took his instrument and made music: so new life came to Saul, and he got well, and the evil spirit went away from him.

bbe@1Samuel:17:1 @Now the Philistines got their armies together for war, and came together at Socoh in the land of Judah, and took up their position between Socoh and Azekah in Ephes-dammim.

bbe@1Samuel:17:2 @And Saul and the men of Israel came together and took up their position in the valley of Elah, and put their forces in order against the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:17:4 @And a fighter came out from the tents of the Philistines, named Goliath of Gath; he was more than six cubits tall.

bbe@1Samuel:17:5 @And he had a head-dress of brass on his head, and he was dressed in a coat of metal, the weight of which was five thousand shekels of brass.

bbe@1Samuel:17:8 @He took up his position and in a loud voice said to the armies of Israel, Why have you come out to make war? Am I not a Philistine and you servants of Saul? Send out a man for yourselves and let him come down to me.

bbe@1Samuel:17:9 @If he is able to have a fight with me and overcome me, then we will be your servants: but if I am able to overcome him, then you will be our servants and do work for us.

bbe@1Samuel:17:10 @And the Philistine said, I have put to shame the armies of Israel this day; give me a man so that we may have a fight together.

bbe@1Samuel:17:12 @Now David was the son of that Ephrathite of Beth-lehem-judah named Jesse, who had eight sons; and he was an old man in Saul's day, and far on in years.

bbe@1Samuel:17:13 @And the three oldest sons of Jesse had gone with Saul to the fight: the names of the three who went to the fight were Eliab, the oldest, and Abinadab the second, and Shammah the third.

bbe@1Samuel:17:16 @And the Philistine came near every morning and evening for forty days.

bbe@1Samuel:17:18 @And take these ten cheeses to the captain of their thousand, and see how your brothers are and come back with a sign to say how they are.

bbe@1Samuel:17:19 @Now Saul, and they, and all the men of Israel were in the valley of Elah, fighting with the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:17:20 @And David got up early in the morning, and, giving the sheep into the care of a keeper, took the things and went as Jesse had said; and he came to the lines where the carts were, when the army was going out to the fight giving their war-cry.

bbe@1Samuel:17:22 @And David gave his parcels into the hands of the keeper of the army stores, and went running to the army and came to his brothers to get knowledge about them.

bbe@1Samuel:17:23 @And while he was talking to them, the fighter, the Philistine of Gath, Goliath by name, came out from the Philistines' lines and said the same words, in David's hearing

bbe@1Samuel:17:24 @And all the men of Israel, when they saw him, went in flight, overcome with fear.

bbe@1Samuel:17:25 @And the men of Israel said, Have you seen this man? Clearly he has come out to put shame on Israel: and it is certain that if any man overcomes him, the king will give that man great wealth, and will give him his daughter, and make his father's family free in Israel.

bbe@1Samuel:17:26 @And David said to the men near him, What will be done to the man who overcomes this Philistine and takes away the shame from Israel? for who is this Philistine, a man without circumcision, that he has put shame on the armies of the living God?

bbe@1Samuel:17:27 @And the people gave him this answer, So it will be done to the man who overcomes him.

bbe@1Samuel:17:28 @And Eliab, his oldest brother, hearing what David said to the men, was moved to wrath against David, and said, Why have you come here? Into whose care have you given that little flock of sheep in the waste land? I have knowledge of your pride and the evil of your heart, you have come down to see the fight.

bbe@1Samuel:17:30 @And turning away from him to one of the other men, he said the same words: and the people gave him the same answer.

bbe@1Samuel:17:32 @And David said to Saul, Let no man's heart become feeble because of him; I, your servant, will go out and have a fight with this Philistine.

bbe@1Samuel:17:34 @And David said to Saul, Your servant has been keeper of his father's sheep; and if a lion or a bear came and took a lamb from the flock,

bbe@1Samuel:17:35 @I went out after him, and overcame him, and took it out of his mouth: and if, turning on me, he came at me, I took him by the hair and overcame him and put him to death.

bbe@1Samuel:17:36 @Your servant has overcome lion and bear: and the fate of this Philistine, who is without circumcision, will be like theirs, seeing that he has put shame on the armies of the living God.

bbe@1Samuel:17:37 @And David said, The Lord, who kept me safe from the grip of the lion and the bear, will be my saviour from the hands of this Philistine. And Saul said to David, Go! and may the Lord be with you.

bbe@1Samuel:17:38 @Then Saul gave David his clothing of war, and put a head-dress of brass on his head and had him clothed with a coat of metal.

bbe@1Samuel:17:39 @And David took Saul's sword and put the band round him over the metal coat, and was unable to go forward; for he was not used to them. Then David said to Saul, It is not possible for me to go out with these, for I am not used to them. So David took them off.

bbe@1Samuel:17:41 @And the Philistine came nearer to David; and the man who had his body-cover went before him.

bbe@1Samuel:17:43 @And the Philistine said to David, Am I a dog, that you come out to me with sticks? And the Philistine put curses on David by all his gods.

bbe@1Samuel:17:44 @And the Philistine said to David, Come here to me, and I will give your flesh to the birds of the air and the beasts of the field.

bbe@1Samuel:17:45 @Then David said to the Philistine, You come to me with a sword and a spear and a javelin: but I come to you in the name of the Lord of armies, the God of the armies of Israel on which you have put shame.

bbe@1Samuel:17:46 @This day the Lord will give you up into my hands, and I will overcome you, and take your head off you; and I will give the bodies of the Philistine army to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth today, so that all the earth may see that Israel has a God;

bbe@1Samuel:17:48 @Now when the Philistine made a move and came near to David, David quickly went at a run in the direction of the army, meeting the Philistine face to face.

bbe@1Samuel:17:50 @So David overcame the Philistine with his leather band and a stone, wounding the Philistine and causing his death: but David had no sword in his hand.

bbe@1Samuel:17:52 @And the men of Israel and of Judah got up, and gave a cry, and went after the Philistines as far as Gath and the town doors of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines were falling down by the road from Shaaraim all the way to Gath and Ekron.

bbe@1Samuel:17:53 @Then the children of Israel came back from going after the Philistines, and took their goods from the tents.

bbe@1Samuel:17:54 @And David took the head of the Philistine to Jerusalem, but the metal war-dress and the arms he put in his tent.

bbe@1Samuel:18:1 @Now after David's talk with Saul was ended, the soul of Jonathan was joined with the soul of David, and David became as dear to him as his very life.

bbe@1Samuel:18:3 @Then Jonathan and David made an agreement together, because of Jonathan's love for David.

bbe@1Samuel:18:5 @And David went wherever Saul sent him, and did wisely: and Saul put him at the head of his men of war, and this was pleasing to all the people as well as to Saul's servants.

bbe@1Samuel:18:6 @Now on their way, when David came back after the destruction of the Philistine, the women came out of all the towns of Israel, with songs and dances, meeting David with melody and joy and instruments of music.

bbe@1Samuel:18:7 @And the women, answering one another in their song, said, Saul has put to death his thousands and David his tens of thousands.

bbe@1Samuel:18:8 @And Saul was very angry and this saying was unpleasing to him; and he said, They have given David credit for tens of thousands, and to me for only thousands: what more is there for him but the kingdom?

bbe@1Samuel:18:10 @Now on the day after, an evil spirit from God came on Saul with great force and he was acting like a prophet among the men of his house, while David was making music for him, as he did day by day: and Saul had his spear in his hand

bbe@1Samuel:18:16 @But David was loved by all Israel and Judah, for he went out and came in before them.

bbe@1Samuel:18:17 @And Saul said to David, Here is my oldest daughter Merab, whom I will give you for your wife: only be strong for me, fighting in the Lord's wars. For Saul said, Let it not be through me that his fate comes to him, but through the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:18:19 @But when the time came to give Merab, Saul's daughter, to David, she was given to Adriel of Meholath.

bbe@1Samuel:18:21 @And Saul said, I will give her to him, so that she may be a cause of danger to him, and so that the hands of the Philistines may be against him. So Saul said to David, Today you are to become my son-in-law for the second time.

bbe@1Samuel:18:23 @And Saul's servants said these things to David. And David said, Does it seem to you a small thing to be the king's son-in-law, seeing that I am a poor man, of no great name?

bbe@1Samuel:18:25 @And Saul said, Then say to David, The king has no desire for any bride-price, but only for the private parts of a hundred Philistines so that the king may get the better of his haters. But it was in Saul's mind that David might come to his end by the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:18:27 @So David and his men got up and went, and put to death two hundred of the Philistines; and David took their private parts and gave the full number of them to the king, so that he might be the king's son-in-law. And Saul gave him his daughter Michal for his wife.

bbe@1Samuel:18:29 @And Saul's fear of David became all the greater, and he went on hating him, day by day.

bbe@1Samuel:18:30 @Then the rulers of the Philistines went out to war: and whenever they went out, David did more wisely than all the other servants of Saul, so that his name became greatly honoured.

bbe@1Samuel:19:4 @And Jonathan gave his father Saul a good account of David, and said to him, Let not the king do wrong against his servant, against David; because he has done you no wrong, and all his acts have had a good outcome for you:

bbe@1Samuel:19:5 @For he put his life in danger and overcame the Philistine, and the Lord gave all Israel salvation: you saw it and were glad: why then are you sinning against him who has done no wrong, desiring the death of David without cause?

bbe@1Samuel:19:9 @And an evil spirit from the Lord came on Saul, when he was seated in his house with his spear in his hand; and David made music for him.

bbe@1Samuel:19:11 @Then in that night Saul sent men to David's house to keep watch on him so as to put him to death in the morning: and David's wife Michal said to him, If you do not go away to a safe place tonight you will be put to death in the morning.

bbe@1Samuel:19:14 @And when Saul sent men to take David, she said, He is ill.

bbe@1Samuel:19:15 @And Saul sent his men to see David, saying, Do not come back without him, take him in his bed, so that I may put him to death.

bbe@1Samuel:19:16 @And when the men came in, there was the image in the bed, with the cushion of goat's hair at its head

bbe@1Samuel:19:17 @And Saul said to Michal, why have you been false to me, letting my hater go and get safely away? And in answer Michal said to Saul, He said to me, Let me go, or I will put you to death.

bbe@1Samuel:19:18 @So David went in flight and got away and came to Ramah, to Samuel, and gave him an account of all Saul had done to him. And he and Samuel went and were living in Naioth.

bbe@1Samuel:19:20 @And Saul sent men to take David; and when they saw the band of prophets at work, with Samuel in his place at their head, the spirit of God came on Saul's men, and they became like prophets.

bbe@1Samuel:19:21 @And Saul, having news of this, sent other men, who in the same way became like prophets. And a third time Saul sent men, and they like the others became like prophets.

bbe@1Samuel:19:22 @Then he himself went to Ramah, and came to the great water-spring in Secu; and questioning the people he said, Where are Samuel and David? And one said, They are at Naioth in Ramah.

bbe@1Samuel:19:23 @And he went on from there to Naioth in Ramah: and the spirit of God came on him, and he went on, acting like a prophet, till he came to Naioth in Ramah.

bbe@1Samuel:20:1 @And David went in flight from Naioth in Ramah and came to Jonathan and said, What have I done? What is my crime and my sin against your father that he is attempting to take my life?

bbe@1Samuel:20:2 @And he said to him, Far be the thought: you will not be put to death: see, my father does nothing, great or small, without giving me word of it: would he keep this secret from me? It is not so.

bbe@1Samuel:20:3 @But David took his oath again and said, Your father sees that I am dear to you; so he says to himself, Let Jonathan have no idea of this, for it will be a grief to him; but as the Lord is living, and as your soul is living, there is only a step between me and death.

bbe@1Samuel:20:5 @And David said to Jonathan, Tomorrow is the new moon, and I will not be seated with the king at his table: but let me go to a safe place in the country till the evening.

bbe@1Samuel:20:6 @And if your father takes note of the fact that I am away, say, David made a request to me for himself that he might go to Beth-lehem, to his town: for it is the time when his family make their offering year by year.

bbe@1Samuel:20:7 @If he says, It is well, your servant will be at peace: but if he is angry, then it will be clear to you that he has an evil purpose in mind against me.

bbe@1Samuel:20:8 @So, then, be kind to your servant; for you have been united with your servant in an agreement made before the Lord: but if there is any wrongdoing in me, put me to death yourself; why take me to your father?

bbe@1Samuel:20:10 @Then David said to Jonathan, Who will give me word if your father gives you a rough answer?

bbe@1Samuel:20:11 @And Jonathan said to David, Come, let us go out into the country. And the two of them went out together into the open country.

bbe@1Samuel:20:12 @And Jonathan said to David, May the Lord, the God of Israel, be witness; when I have had a chance of talking to my father, about this time tomorrow, if his feelings to David are good, will I not send and give you the news?

bbe@1Samuel:20:13 @May the Lord's punishment be on Jonathan, if it is my father's pleasure to do you evil and I do not give you word of it and send you away so that you may go in peace: and may the Lord be with you, as he has been with my father.

bbe@1Samuel:20:14 @And may you, while I am still living, O may you be kind to me, as the Lord is kind, and keep me from death!

bbe@1Samuel:20:15 @And let not your mercy ever be cut off from my family, even when the Lord has sent destruction on all David's haters, cutting them off from the face of the earth.

bbe@1Samuel:20:16 @And if it comes about that the name of Jonathan is cut off from the family of David, the Lord will make David responsible.

bbe@1Samuel:20:21 @And I will send my boy to have a look for the arrow. And if I say to him, See, the arrow is on this side of you; take it up! then you may come; for there is peace for you and no evil, by the living Lord.

bbe@1Samuel:20:23 @As for what you and I were talking of, the Lord is between you and me for ever.

bbe@1Samuel:20:24 @So David went to a secret place in the country: and when the new moon came, the king took his place at the feast.

bbe@1Samuel:20:25 @And the king took his seat, as at other times, by the wall: and Jonathan was in front, and Abner was seated by Saul's side, but there was no one in David's seat.

bbe@1Samuel:20:26 @But Saul said nothing that day, for his thought was, Something has taken place making him unclean; it is clear that he is not clean.

bbe@1Samuel:20:27 @And on the day after the new moon, that is, the second day, there was still no one in David's seat: and Saul said to his son Jonathan, Why has the son of Jesse not come to the feast yesterday or today?

bbe@1Samuel:20:28 @And answering Saul, Jonathan said, He made a request to me that he might go to Beth-lehem,

bbe@1Samuel:20:29 @Saying, Our family is making an offering in the town, and my brothers have given me orders to be there: so now, if I have grace in your eyes, let me go away and see my brothers. This is why he has not come to the king's table.

bbe@1Samuel:20:30 @Then Saul was moved to wrath against Jonathan, and he said to him, You son of an evil and uncontrolled woman, have I not seen how you have given your love to the son of Jesse, to your shame and the shame of your mother?

bbe@1Samuel:20:31 @For while the son of Jesse is living on the earth, your position is unsafe and your kingdom is in danger. So make him come here to me, for it is certainly right for him to be put to death.

bbe@1Samuel:20:34 @So Jonathan got up from the table, burning with wrath, and took no part in the feast the second day of the month, being full of grief for David because his father had put shame on him.

bbe@1Samuel:20:35 @Now in the morning, Jonathan went out into the fields at the time he had said to David, and he had a little boy with him.

bbe@1Samuel:20:37 @And when the boy came to the place where the arrow was, Jonathan, crying out after the boy, said, Has it not gone past you?

bbe@1Samuel:20:38 @And Jonathan went on crying out after the boy, Be quick, do not keep waiting about, go quickly. And Jonathan's boy got the arrow and came back to his master.

bbe@1Samuel:20:41 @And when the boy had gone, David came from his secret place by the hill, and falling to the earth went down on his face three times: and they gave one another a kiss, weeping together, till David's grief was the greater.

bbe@1Samuel:20:42 @And Jonathan said to David, Go in peace, for we two have taken an oath, in the name of the Lord, saying, The Lord will be between me and you, and between my seed and your seed for ever.

bbe@1Samuel:21:1 @Then David came to Nob, to Ahimelech the priest: and Ahimelech was full of fear at meeting David, and said to him, Why are you by yourself, having no man with you?

bbe@1Samuel:21:2 @And David said to Ahimelech the priest, The king has given me orders and has said to me, Say nothing to anyone about the business on which I am sending you and the orders I have given you: and a certain place has been fixed to which the young men are to go.

bbe@1Samuel:21:4 @And the priest, answering David, said, I have no common bread here but there is holy bread; if only the young men have kept themselves from women.

bbe@1Samuel:21:5 @And David in answer said to the priest, Certainly women have been kept from us; and as has been done before when I have gone out the arms of the young men were made holy, even though it was a common journey; how much more today will their arms be made holy.

bbe@1Samuel:21:7 @Now a certain man of the servants of Saul was there that day, kept back before the Lord; his name was Doeg, an Edomite, the strongest of Saul's runners.

bbe@1Samuel:21:8 @And David said to Ahimelech, Have you no sword or spear with you here? for I have come without my sword and other arms, because the king's business had to be done quickly.

bbe@1Samuel:21:9 @And the priest said, The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you put to death in the valley of Elah, is here folded in a cloth at the back of the ephod: take that, if you will, for there is no other sword here. And David said, there is no other sword like that; give it to me.

bbe@1Samuel:21:13 @So changing his behaviour before them, he made it seem as if he was off his head, hammering on the doors of the town, and letting the water from his mouth go down his chin.

bbe@1Samuel:21:14 @Then Achish said to his servants, Look! the man is clearly off his head; why have you let him come before me?

bbe@1Samuel:21:15 @Are there not enough unbalanced men about me, that you have let this person come and do such tricks before me? is such a man to come into my house?

bbe@1Samuel:22:2 @And everyone who was in trouble, and everyone who was in debt, and everyone who was bitter in soul, came together to him, and he became captain over them: about four hundred men were joined to him.

bbe@1Samuel:22:3 @And from there David went to Mizpeh in the land of Moab: and he said to the king of Moab, Let my father and mother come and make their living-place with you till it is clear to me what God will do for me.

bbe@1Samuel:22:5 @And the prophet Gad said to David, Do not go on living in this place but go into the land of Judah. Then David went away and came to the woodland of Hereth.

bbe@1Samuel:22:6 @And news was given to Saul that David had been seen, and the men who were with him: now Saul was in Gibeah, seated under the tree in the high place, with his spear in his hand, and all his servants were in their places before him.

bbe@1Samuel:22:8 @That all of you have made designs against me, and not one of you gave me word when my son made an agreement with the son of Jesse, and not one of you has pity for me or has made my eyes open to the fact that my servant has been moved by my son against me, as at this day?

bbe@1Samuel:22:9 @Then Doeg, the Edomite, who was by the side of the servants of Saul, in answer said, I saw the son of Jesse coming to Nob, to Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub.

bbe@1Samuel:22:11 @Then the king sent for Ahimelech the priest, the son of Ahitub, and for all the men of his father's family who were priests in Nob: and they all came to the king.

bbe@1Samuel:22:13 @And Saul said to him, Why have you made designs against me with the son of Jesse, giving him food and a sword and getting directions from the Lord for him, and helping him to take up arms against me, and to be on the watch to make a secret attack on me as he is doing now?

bbe@1Samuel:22:14 @Then Ahimelech answering said to the king, Who among all your servants is so true to you as David, who is the king's son-in-law, and is a captain of your armed men, and has a place of honour in your house?

bbe@1Samuel:22:15 @Is this the first time I have got directions from God for him? Far be the thought! let the king make no such statement against his servant or my father's family, for your servant has no knowledge, great or small, of this thing.

bbe@1Samuel:22:16 @And the king said, You will certainly be put to death, Ahimelech, you and all your father's family

bbe@1Samuel:22:17 @Then the king said to the runners who were waiting near him, Put the priests of the Lord to death; because they are on David's side, and having knowledge of his flight, did not give me word of it. But the king's servants would not put out their hands to make an attack on the Lord's priests.

bbe@1Samuel:22:18 @Then the king said to Doeg, You are to put the priests to death. And Doeg the Edomite, turning on the priests and attacking them, put to death that day eighty-five men who took up the ephod.

bbe@1Samuel:22:19 @And Nob, the town of the priests, he put to the sword, all the men and women, children and babies at the breast, and oxen and asses and sheep.

bbe@1Samuel:22:20 @And Abiathar, one of the sons of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, got away and went in flight after David;

bbe@1Samuel:22:23 @Keep here with me and have no fear; for he who has designs on my life has designs on yours: but with me you will be safe.

bbe@1Samuel:23:3 @And David's men said to him, Even here in Judah we are full of fear: how much more then if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?

bbe@1Samuel:23:5 @So David and his men went to Keilah, and had a fight with the Philistines, and took away their cattle, and put them to the sword with great destruction. So David was the saviour of the people of Keilah.

bbe@1Samuel:23:6 @Now when Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, went in flight to David, he came down to Keilah with the ephod in his hand.

bbe@1Samuel:23:7 @And news was given to Saul that David had come to Keilah. And Saul said, Now God has given him into my hands; for by going into a walled town with locked doors, he has let himself be shut in.

bbe@1Samuel:23:8 @And Saul sent for all the people to come to the fight, and go down to Keilah to make an attack on David and his men.

bbe@1Samuel:23:9 @And it was clear to David that Saul had evil designs against him, and he said to Abiathar the priest, Come here with the ephod.

bbe@1Samuel:23:10 @Then David said, O Lord, the God of Israel, news has been given to your servant that it is Saul's purpose to come to Keilah and send destruction on the town because of me.

bbe@1Samuel:23:11 @And now, is it true, as they have said to me, that Saul is coming? O Lord, the God of Israel, give ear to your servant, and say if these things are so. And the Lord said, He is coming down.

bbe@1Samuel:23:12 @Then David said, Will the men of Keilah give me and my men up to Saul? and the Lord said, They will give you up.

bbe@1Samuel:23:13 @Then David and his men, about six hundred of them, went out of Keilah, and got away wherever they were able to go. And Saul, hearing that David had got away from Keilah, did not go there.

bbe@1Samuel:23:15 @And David was full of fear, in the knowledge that Saul had come out to take his life; and David was in the waste land of Ziph, in Horesh.

bbe@1Samuel:23:18 @And the two of them made an agreement before the Lord: and David went on living in Horesh, and Jonathan went back to his house

bbe@1Samuel:23:19 @Then the Ziphites came up to Gibeah to see Saul, and said, Is not David living secretly among us in the strong places in Horesh, in the hill of Hachilah to the south of the waste land?

bbe@1Samuel:23:20 @So now, O king, have your soul's desire and come down, and we, for our part, will give him up into the king's hands.

bbe@1Samuel:23:21 @And Saul said, The Lord's blessing will be yours, for you have had pity on me.

bbe@1Samuel:23:23 @So take care to get knowledge of all the secret places where he is taking cover, and be certain to come back to me, and I will go with you: and without doubt, if he is anywhere in the land, I will get him, among all the families of Judah.

bbe@1Samuel:23:24 @And they went back and came to Ziph before Saul: but David and his men were in the waste land of Maon, in the dry land south of the waste land.

bbe@1Samuel:23:25 @And Saul and his men went in search of him. And David had word of it, so he came down to the rock in the waste land of Maon. And Saul, hearing of this, went after David into the waste land of Maon.

bbe@1Samuel:23:26 @And Saul and his men went on one side of the mountain, and David and his men went on the other: and David's purpose was to get away as quickly as possible, for fear of Saul; for Saul and his men were making a circle round David and his men in order to take them.

bbe@1Samuel:23:27 @But a man came to Saul saying, Be quick and come; for the Philistines have made an attack on the land.

bbe@1Samuel:23:28 @So turning back from going after David, Saul went against the Philistines: so that place was named Sela-hammah-lekoth.

bbe@1Samuel:24:1 @Now when Saul came back from fighting the Philistines, news was given him that David was in the waste land of En-gedi.

bbe@1Samuel:24:2 @Then Saul took three thousand of the best men out of all Israel, and went in search of David and his men on the rocks of the mountain goats.

bbe@1Samuel:24:3 @And on the way he came to a place where sheep were kept, where there was a hollow in the rock; and Saul went in for a private purpose. Now David and his men were in the deepest part of the hollow.

bbe@1Samuel:24:4 @And David's men said to him, Now is the time when the Lord says to you, I will give up your hater into your hands to do with him whatever seems good to you. Then David, getting up, took the skirt of Saul's robe in his hand, cutting off the end of it without his knowledge.

bbe@1Samuel:24:6 @And David said to his men, Before the Lord, never let it be said that my hand was lifted up against my lord, the man of the Lord's selection, for the Lord's holy oil has been put on him.

bbe@1Samuel:24:8 @And after that David came out of the hollow rock, and crying after Saul said, My lord the king. And when Saul gave a look back, David went down on his face and gave him honour.

bbe@1Samuel:24:10 @Look! you have seen today how the Lord gave you up into my hands even now in the hollow of the rocks: and some would have had me put you to death, but I had pity on you: for I said, Never will my hand be lifted up against my lord, who has been marked with the holy oil.

bbe@1Samuel:24:12 @May the Lord be judge between me and you, and may the Lord give me my rights against you, but my hand will never be lifted up against you.

bbe@1Samuel:24:13 @There is an old saying, From the evil-doer comes evil: but my hand will never be lifted up against you.

bbe@1Samuel:24:14 @After whom has the king of Israel come out? for whom are you searching? for a dead dog, an insect.

bbe@1Samuel:24:15 @So let the Lord be judge, and give a decision between me and you, and see and give support to my cause, and keep me from falling into your hands.

bbe@1Samuel:24:16 @Now when David had said these words to Saul, Saul said, Is this your voice, David, my son? And Saul was overcome with weeping.

bbe@1Samuel:24:17 @And he said to David, You are right and I am wrong: for you have given me back good, but I have given you evil.

bbe@1Samuel:24:18 @And you have made clear to me how good you have been to me today: because, when the Lord gave me up into your hands, you did not put me to death.

bbe@1Samuel:24:19 @If a man comes across his hater, will he let him get away safe? so may you be rewarded by the Lord for what you have done for me today.

bbe@1Samuel:24:21 @So give me your oath by the Lord, that you will not put an end to my seed after me or let my name be cut off from my father's family.

bbe@1Samuel:24:22 @And David gave Saul his oath. And Saul went back to his house; but David and his men went up to their safe place.

bbe@1Samuel:25:1 @And death came to Samuel; and all Israel came together, weeping for him, and put his body in its resting-place in his house at Ramah. Then David went down to the waste land of Maon.

bbe@1Samuel:25:2 @Now there was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel; he was a great man and had three thousand sheep and a thousand goats: and he was cutting the wool of his sheep in Carmel.

bbe@1Samuel:25:3 @Now this man was named Nabal, and his wife's name was Abigail: she was a woman of good sense and pleasing looks: but the man was cruel and evil in his ways; he was of the family of Caleb.

bbe@1Samuel:25:5 @And David sent ten young men, and said to them, Go up to Carmel and go to Nabal, and say kind words to him in my name;

bbe@1Samuel:25:7 @I have had word that you have wool-cutters: now the keepers of your sheep have been with us, and we have done them no evil, and taken nothing of theirs while they were in Carmel.

bbe@1Samuel:25:8 @If your young men are questioned they will say the same thing. So now, let my young men have grace in your eyes, for we are come at a good time; please give anything you may have by you to your servants and to your son David.

bbe@1Samuel:25:9 @And when David's young men came, they said all this to Nabal, in David's name, and said nothing more

bbe@1Samuel:25:11 @Am I to take my bread and my wine and the meat I have got ready for my wool-cutters and give it to men coming from I have no idea where?

bbe@1Samuel:25:12 @So David's young men, turning away, went back and gave him an account of everything he had said.

bbe@1Samuel:25:13 @And David said to his men, Put on your swords, every one of you. And every man put on his sword; and David did the same; and about four hundred men went up with David, and two hundred kept watch over their goods.

bbe@1Samuel:25:14 @But one of the young men said to Nabal's wife Abigail, David sent men from the waste land to say kind words to our master, and he gave them a rough answer.

bbe@1Samuel:25:15 @But these men have been very good to us; they did us no wrong and nothing of ours was touched while we were with them in the fields:

bbe@1Samuel:25:18 @Then Abigail quickly took two hundred cakes of bread and two skins full of wine and five sheep ready for cooking and five measures of dry grain and a hundred parcels of dry grapes and two hundred cakes of figs, and put them on asses.

bbe@1Samuel:25:19 @And she said to her young men, Go on in front of me and I will come after you. But she said nothing to her husband Nabal.

bbe@1Samuel:25:20 @Now while she was going down under cover of the mountain on her ass, David and his men came down against her, and suddenly she came face to face with them.

bbe@1Samuel:25:21 @Now David had said, What was the use of my taking care of this man's goods in the waste land, so that there was no loss of anything which was his? he has only given me back evil for good.

bbe@1Samuel:25:22 @May God's punishment be on David, if when morning comes there is so much as one male of his people still living.

bbe@1Samuel:25:24 @And falling at his feet she said, May the wrong be on me, my lord, on me: let your servant say a word to you, and give ear to the words of your servant.

bbe@1Samuel:25:25 @Let my lord give no attention to Nabal, that good-for-nothing: for as his name is, so is he, a man without sense: but I, your servant, did not see the young men whom my lord sent.

bbe@1Samuel:25:26 @So now, my lord, by the living God and by your living soul, seeing that the Lord has kept you from the crime of blood and from taking into your hands the punishment for your wrongs, may all your haters, and those who would do evil to my lord, be like Nabal.

bbe@1Samuel:25:27 @And let this offering, which your servant gives to my lord, be given to the young men who are with my lord.

bbe@1Samuel:25:31 @Then you will have no cause for grief, and my lord's heart will not be troubled because you have taken life without cause and have yourself given punishment for your wrongs: and when the Lord has been good to you, then give a thought to your servant.

bbe@1Samuel:25:32 @And David said to Abigail, May the Lord, the God of Israel, be praised, who sent you to me today:

bbe@1Samuel:25:33 @A blessing on your good sense and on you, who have kept me today from the crime of blood and from taking into my hands the punishment for my wrongs.

bbe@1Samuel:25:34 @For truly, by the living Lord, the God of Israel, who has kept me from doing you evil, if you had not been so quick in coming to me and meeting me, by dawn there would not have been in Nabal's house so much as one male living.

bbe@1Samuel:25:36 @And Abigail went back to Nabal; and he was feasting in his house like a king; and Nabal's heart was full of joy, for he had taken much wine; so she said nothing to him till dawn came.

bbe@1Samuel:25:37 @And in the morning, when the effect of the wine was gone, Nabal's wife gave him an account of all these things, and all the heart went out of him, and he became like stone.

bbe@1Samuel:25:38 @And about ten days after, the Lord sent disease on Nabal and death came to him.

bbe@1Samuel:25:39 @And David, hearing that Nabal was dead, said, May the Lord be praised, who has taken up my cause against Nabal for the shame which he put on me, and has kept back his servant from evil, and has sent on Nabal's head the reward of his evil-doing. And David sent word to Abigail, desiring to take her as his wife.

bbe@1Samuel:25:40 @And when David's servants came to Carmel, to Abigail, they said to her, David has sent us to you to take you to him as his wife.

bbe@1Samuel:25:42 @Then Abigail got up quickly and went on her ass, with five of her young women, after the men whom David had sent; and she became David's wife.

bbe@1Samuel:26:1 @And the Ziphites came to Saul at Gibeah, and said, Is not David waiting secretly near us in the hill of Hachilah, before the waste land?

bbe@1Samuel:26:2 @Then Saul went down to the waste land of Ziph, taking with him three thousand of the best men of Israel, to make search for David in the waste land of Ziph.

bbe@1Samuel:26:5 @And David got up and came to the place where Saul's tents were: and David had a view of the place where Saul was sleeping with Abner, the son of Ner, the captain of his army: and Saul was sleeping inside the ring of carts, and the tents of the people were all round him.

bbe@1Samuel:26:6 @Then David said to Ahimelech the Hittite, and to Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, Who will go down with me to the tents of Saul? And Abishai said, I will go down with you.

bbe@1Samuel:26:7 @So David and Abishai came down to the army by night: and Saul was sleeping inside the ring of carts with his spear planted in the earth by his head: and Abner and the people were sleeping round him.

bbe@1Samuel:26:8 @Then Abishai said to David, God has given up your hater into your hands today; now let me give him one blow through to the earth with his spear, and there will be no need to give him a second.

bbe@1Samuel:26:10 @And David said, By the living Lord, the Lord will send destruction on him; the natural day of his death will come, or he will go into the fight and come to his end.

bbe@1Samuel:26:12 @So David took the spear and the vessel of water from Saul's head; and they got away without any man seeing them, or being conscious of their coming, or awaking; for they were all sleeping because a deep sleep from the Lord had come on them.

bbe@1Samuel:26:13 @Then David went over to the other side, and took his place on the top of a mountain some distance away, with a great space between them;

bbe@1Samuel:26:15 @And David said to Abner, Are you not a man of war? is there any other like you in Israel? why then have you not kept watch over your lord the king? for one of the people came in to put the king your lord to death.

bbe@1Samuel:26:18 @And he said, Why does my lord go armed against his servant? what have I done? or what evil is there in me?

bbe@1Samuel:26:19 @Let my lord the king give ear now to the words of his servant. If it is the Lord who is moving you against me, let him take an offering: but if it is the children of men, may they be cursed before the Lord, for driving me out today and keeping me from my place in the heritage of the Lord, saying, Go, be the servant of other gods.

bbe@1Samuel:26:20 @Then do not let my blood be drained out on the earth away from the face of the Lord: for the king of Israel has come out to take my life, like one going after birds in the mountains.

bbe@1Samuel:26:21 @Then Saul said, I have done wrong: come back to me, David my son: I will do you no more wrong, because my life was dear to you today truly, I have been foolish and my error is very great.

bbe@1Samuel:26:22 @Then David said, Here is the king's spear! let one of the young men come over and get it.

bbe@1Samuel:26:24 @And so, as your life was dear to me today, may my life be dear to the Lord, and may he make me free from all my troubles.

bbe@1Samuel:26:25 @Then Saul said to David, May a blessing be on you, David, my son; you will do great things and without doubt you will overcome. Then David went on his way, and Saul went back to his place.

bbe@1Samuel:27:1 @And David said to himself, Some day death will come to me by the hand of Saul: the only thing for me to do is to get away into the land of the Philistines; then Saul will give up hope of taking me in any part of the land of Israel: and so I may be able to get away from him.

bbe@1Samuel:27:2 @So David and the six hundred men who were with him went over to Achish, the son of Maoch, king of Gath.

bbe@1Samuel:27:3 @And David and his men were living with Achish at Gath; every man had his family with him, and David had his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail of Carmel, who had been the wife of Nabal.

bbe@1Samuel:27:5 @Then David said to Achish, If now I have grace in your eyes, let me have a place in one of the smaller towns of your land, to be my living-place; for it is not right for your servant to be living with you in the king's town.

bbe@1Samuel:27:8 @And David and his men went up and made attacks on the Geshurites and the Girzites and the Amalekites; for these were the people who were living in the land from Telam on the way to Shur, as far as Egypt.

bbe@1Samuel:27:9 @And David again and again made attacks on the land till not a man or a woman was still living; and he took away the sheep and the oxen and the asses and the camels and the clothing; and he came back to Achish.

bbe@1Samuel:27:10 @And every time Achish said, Where have you been fighting today? David said, Against the South of Judah and the South of the Jerahmeelites and the South of the Kenites.

bbe@1Samuel:27:11 @Not one living man or woman did David ever take back with him to Gath, fearing that they might give an account of what had taken place, and say, This is what David did, and so has he been doing all the time while he has been living in the land of the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:28:1 @Now in those days the Philistines got their forces together to make war on Israel. And Achish said to David, Certainly you and your men are to go out with me to the fight.

bbe@1Samuel:28:4 @And the Philistines came together and put their forces in position in Shunem; and Saul got all Israel together and they took up their positions in Gilboa.

bbe@1Samuel:28:7 @Then Saul said to his servants, Get me a woman who has control of a spirit so that I may go to her and get directions. And his servants said to him, There is such a woman at En-dor.

bbe@1Samuel:28:8 @So Saul, putting on other clothing, so that he might not be seen to be the king, took two men with him and went to the woman by night; and he said, Now, with the help of the spirit which you have, make the person whose name I will give you come up.

bbe@1Samuel:28:9 @And the woman said to him, But you have knowledge of what Saul has done, how he has put away out of the land those who have control of spirits and the users of secret arts: why would you, by a trick, put me in danger of death?

bbe@1Samuel:28:10 @And Saul made an oath to her by the Lord, saying, By the living Lord, no punishment will come to you for this.

bbe@1Samuel:28:11 @Then the woman said, Who am I to let you see? And he said, Make Samuel come up for me.

bbe@1Samuel:28:15 @And Samuel said to Saul, Why have you made me come up, troubling my rest? And Saul in answer said, I am in great danger; for the Philistines are making war on me, and God has gone away from me and will no longer give me any answer, by the prophets or by dreams: so I have sent for you to make clear to me what I am to do

bbe@1Samuel:28:16 @And Samuel said, Why do you put your questions to me, seeing that God has gone away from you and is on the side of him who is against you?

bbe@1Samuel:28:19 @And more than this, the Lord will give Israel up with you into the hands of the Philistines: and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me: and the Lord will give up the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@1Samuel:28:21 @And the woman came to Saul and saw that he was in great trouble, and said to him, See now, your servant has given ear to your words, and I have put my life in danger by doing what you said.

bbe@1Samuel:28:22 @So now, give ear to the voice of your servant, and let me give you a little bread; and take some food to give you strength when you go on your way.

bbe@1Samuel:28:24 @And the woman had in the house a young cow, made fat for food; and she put it to death straight away; and she took meal and got it mixed and made unleavened bread;

bbe@1Samuel:28:25 @And she put it before Saul and his servants, and they had a meal. Then they got up and went away the same night.

bbe@1Samuel:29:2 @And the lords of the Philistines went on with their hundreds and their thousands, and David and his men came after with Achish.

bbe@1Samuel:29:3 @Then the rulers of the Philistines said, What are these Hebrews doing here? And Achish said to the rulers of the Philistines, Is this not David, the servant of Saul the king of Israel, who has been with me for a year or two, and I have never seen any wrong in him from the time when he came to me till now?

bbe@1Samuel:29:4 @But the rulers of the Philistines were angry with him, and said to him, Make the man go back to the place you have given him; do not let him go down with us to the fight, or he may be turned against us and be false to us: for how will this man make peace with his lord? will it not be with the heads of these men?

bbe@1Samuel:29:5 @Is this not David, who was named in their songs, when in the dance they said to one another, Saul has put to death thousands, and David tens of thousands?

bbe@1Samuel:29:6 @Then Achish sent for David and said to him, By the living Lord, you are upright, and everything you have done with me in the army has been pleasing to me: I have seen no evil in you from the day when you came to me till now: but still, the lords are not pleased with you.

bbe@1Samuel:29:11 @So David and his men got up early in the morning to go back to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.

bbe@1Samuel:30:1 @Now when David and his men came to Ziklag on the third day, the Amalekites had made an attack on the South and on Ziklag, and had overcome Ziklag and put it on fire;

bbe@1Samuel:30:2 @And had made the women and all who were there, small and great, prisoners: they had not put any of them to death, but had taken them all away.

bbe@1Samuel:30:3 @And when David and his men came to the town, they saw that it had been burned down, and their wives and their sons and daughters had been made prisoners.

bbe@1Samuel:30:5 @And David's two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel, had been made prisoners.

bbe@1Samuel:30:7 @And David said to Abiathar the priest, the son of Ahimelech, Come here to me with the ephod. And Abiathar took the ephod to David.

bbe@1Samuel:30:9 @So David went, and his six hundred men went with him, and they came to the stream Besor.

bbe@1Samuel:30:10 @And David, with four hundred men, went on: but two hundred of them were overcome with weariness, and not able to go across the stream.

bbe@1Samuel:30:11 @And in the fields they saw an Egyptian whom they took to David, and they gave him bread, and he had a meal, and they gave him water for drink;

bbe@1Samuel:30:12 @And they gave him part of a cake of figs and some dry grapes; and after the food, his spirit came back to him, for he had had no food or drink for three days and nights.

bbe@1Samuel:30:13 @And David said to him, Whose man are you and where do you come from? And he said, I am a young man of Egypt, servant to an Amalekite; and my master went on without me because three days back I became ill.

bbe@1Samuel:30:15 @And David said to him, Will you take me down to this band? And he said, If you give me your oath that you will not put me to death or give me up to my master, I will take you to them.

bbe@1Samuel:30:17 @And David went on fighting them from evening till the evening of the day after; and not one of them got away but only four hundred young men who went in flight on camels.

bbe@1Samuel:30:21 @And David came to the two hundred men, who because of weariness had not gone with him, but were waiting at the stream Besor: and they went out, meeting David and the people who were with him; and when they came near them, they said, How are you?

bbe@1Samuel:30:22 @Then the bad and good-for-nothing men among those who went with David said, Because they did not go with us, we will give them nothing of the goods which we have got back, but only to every man his wife and children, so that he may take them and go.

bbe@1Samuel:30:23 @Then David said, You are not to do this, my brothers, after what the Lord has given us, who has kept us safe and given up the band which came against us into our hands.

bbe@1Samuel:30:24 @Who is going to give any attention to you in this question? for an equal part will be given to him who went to the fight and to him who was waiting by the goods: they are all to have the same.

bbe@1Samuel:30:26 @And when David came to Ziklag, he sent some of the goods to the responsible men of Judah, and to his friends, saying, Here is an offering for you from the goods of those who were fighting against the Lord;

bbe@1Samuel:30:29 @and Carmel and in the towns of the Jerahmeelites, and in the towns of the Kenites;

bbe@1Samuel:30:31 @And in Hebron, and to all the places where David and his men had been living.

bbe@1Samuel:31:1 @Now the Philistines were fighting against Israel: and the men of Israel went in flight before the Philistines, falling down wounded in Mount Gilboa.

bbe@1Samuel:31:3 @And the fight was going badly for Saul, and the archers came across him, and he was wounded by the archers.

bbe@1Samuel:31:4 @Then Saul said to the servant who had the care of his arms, Take out your sword and put it through me, before these men without circumcision come and make sport of me. But his servant, full of fear, would not do so. Then Saul took out his sword, and falling on it, put an end to himself.

bbe@1Samuel:31:5 @And when his servant saw that Saul was dead, he did the same, and was united with him in death.

bbe@1Samuel:31:6 @So death overtook Saul and his three sons and his servant on the same day.

bbe@1Samuel:31:7 @And when the men of Israel across the valley and on the other side of Jordan saw that the army of Israel was in flight and that Saul and his sons were dead, they came out of their towns and went in flight; and the Philistines came and took them for themselves.

bbe@1Samuel:31:8 @Now on the day after, when the Philistines came to take their goods from the dead, they saw Saul and his three sons dead on the earth in Mount Gilboa.

bbe@1Samuel:31:12 @All the fighting men got up and, travelling all night, took Saul's body and the bodies of his sons from the wall of Beth-shan; and they came to Jabesh and had them burned there.

bbe@2Samuel:1:1 @Now after the death of Saul, when David, having come back from the destruction of the Amalekites, had been in Ziklag for two days;

bbe@2Samuel:1:2 @On the third day a man came from Saul's tents, with his clothing out of order and earth on his head: and when he came to David, he went down on the earth and gave him honour.

bbe@2Samuel:1:3 @And David said to him, Where have you come from? And he said, I have come in flight from the tents of Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:1:4 @And David said to him, How did things go? Give me the news. And in answer he said, The people have gone in flight from the fight, and a great number of them are dead; and Saul and his son Jonathan are dead.

bbe@2Samuel:1:6 @And the young man said, I came by chance to Mount Gilboa, and I saw Saul supporting himself on his spear; and the war-carriages and horsemen overtook him.

bbe@2Samuel:1:7 @And looking back, he saw me and gave a cry to me. And answering him I said, Here am I.

bbe@2Samuel:1:8 @And he said to me, Who are you? And I said, I am an Amalekite.

bbe@2Samuel:1:9 @Then he said to me, Come here to my side, and put me to death, for the pain of death has me in its grip but my life is still strong in me.

bbe@2Samuel:1:11 @Then David gave way to bitter grief, and so did all the men who were with him:

bbe@2Samuel:1:12 @And till evening they gave themselves to sorrow and weeping, and took no food, weeping for Saul and for Jonathan, his son, and for the people of the Lord and for the men of Israel; because they had come to their end by the sword.

bbe@2Samuel:1:13 @And David said to the young man who had given him the news, Where do you come from? And he said, I am the son of a man from a strange land; I am an Amalekite.

bbe@2Samuel:1:15 @And David sent for one of his young men and said, Go near and put an end to him. And he put him to death.

bbe@2Samuel:1:20 @Give no news of it in Gath, let it not be said in the streets of Ashkelon; or the daughters of the Philistines will be glad, the daughters of men without circumcision will be uplifted in joy.

bbe@2Samuel:1:21 @O mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew or rain on you, you fields of death: for there the arms of the strong have been shamed, the arms of Saul, as if he had not been marked with the holy oil.

bbe@2Samuel:1:22 @From the blood of the dead, from the fat of the strong, the bow of Jonathan was not turned back, the sword of Saul did not come back unused.

bbe@2Samuel:1:24 @O daughters of Israel, have sorrow for Saul, by whom you were delicately clothed in robes of red, with ornaments of gold on your dresses.

bbe@2Samuel:1:26 @I am full of grief for you, my brother Jonathan: very dear have you been to me: your love for me was a wonder, greater than the love of women.

bbe@2Samuel:2:2 @So David went there, taking with him his two wives, Ahinoam of Jezreel, and Abigail, the wife of Nabal of Carmel.

bbe@2Samuel:2:3 @And David took all his men with him, every man with his family: and they were living in the towns round Hebron.

bbe@2Samuel:2:4 @And the men of Judah came there, and with the holy oil made David king over the people of Judah. And word came to David that it was the men of Jabesh-gilead who put Saul's body in its last resting-place.

bbe@2Samuel:2:5 @And David sent to the men of Jabesh-gilead and said to them, May the Lord give you his blessing, because you have done this kind act to Saul your lord, and have put his body to rest!

bbe@2Samuel:2:7 @Then let your hands be strong, and have no fear: though Saul your lord is dead, the people of Judah have made me their king.

bbe@2Samuel:2:10 @(Saul's son Ish-bosheth was forty years old when he became king over Israel, and he was ruler for two years.) But Judah was on the side of David.

bbe@2Samuel:2:11 @And the time when David was king in Hebron over the people of Judah was seven years and six months.

bbe@2Samuel:2:13 @And Joab, the son of Zeruiah, and the servants of David, went out and came face to face with them by the pool of Gibeon; and they took up their position, facing one another on opposite sides of the pool.

bbe@2Samuel:2:14 @And Abner said to Joab, Let the young men give a test of their strength before us. And Joab said, Let them do so.

bbe@2Samuel:2:16 @And every one got the other by the head, driving his sword into the other's side, so they all went down together: and that place was named the Field of Sides, and it is in Gibeon.

bbe@2Samuel:2:17 @And there was hard fighting that day; and Abner and the men of Israel gave way before the servants of David.

bbe@2Samuel:2:21 @And Abner said, Then go to the right or to the left and put your hands on one of the fighting-men and take his arms. But Asahel would not be turned away from going after Abner.

bbe@2Samuel:2:22 @Then again Abner said to Asahel, Go to one side, do not keep on coming after me: why will you make me put an end to you? for then I will be shamed before your brother Joab.

bbe@2Samuel:2:23 @But still he did not go to one side: so Abner gave him a back blow in the stomach with his spear, so that the spear came out at his back; and he went down on the earth, wounded to death: and all those who came to the place where Asahel went down dead, came to a stop.

bbe@2Samuel:2:24 @But Joab and Abishai went after Abner: and the sun went down when they came to the hill of Ammah, which is to the east of the road through the waste land of Geba.

bbe@2Samuel:2:25 @And the men of Benjamin came together after Abner in one band, and took their places on the top of a hill.

bbe@2Samuel:2:26 @Then crying out to Joab, Abner said, Are fighting and destruction to go on for ever? do you not see that the end will only be bitter? how long will it be before you send the people back and make them give up attacking their countrymen?

bbe@2Samuel:2:27 @And Joab said, By the living God, if you had not given the word, the people would have gone on attacking their countrymen till the morning.

bbe@2Samuel:2:28 @So Joab had a horn sounded, and all the people came to a stop, and gave up going after Israel and fighting them.

bbe@2Samuel:2:29 @And all that night Abner and his men went through the Arabah; they went over Jordan and through all Bithron and came to Mahanaim.

bbe@2Samuel:2:30 @And Joab came back from fighting Abner: and when he had got all his men together, it was seen that nineteen of David's men, in addition to Asahel, were not with them.

bbe@2Samuel:2:31 @But David's men had put to death three hundred and sixty of the men of Benjamin and of Abner's men

bbe@2Samuel:2:32 @And they took Asahel's body and put it in the last resting-place of his father in Beth-lehem. And Joab and his men, travelling all night, came to Hebron at dawn.

bbe@2Samuel:3:1 @Now there was a long war between Saul's people and David's people; and David became stronger and stronger, but those on Saul's side became more and more feeble.

bbe@2Samuel:3:2 @While David was in Hebron he became the father of sons: the oldest was Amnon, son of Ahinoam of Jezreel;

bbe@2Samuel:3:3 @And the second, Chileab, whose mother was Abigail, the wife of Nabal the Carmelite; and the third, Absalom, son of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai, king of Geshur;

bbe@2Samuel:3:7 @Now Saul had among his wives a woman named Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah: and Ish-bosheth said to Abner, Why have you taken my father's wife?

bbe@2Samuel:3:9 @May God's punishment be on Abner, if I do not for David as the Lord in his oath has said,

bbe@2Samuel:3:12 @And Abner sent men to David at Hebron, saying, Make an agreement with me, and I will give you my support in getting all Israel on your side.

bbe@2Samuel:3:13 @And he said, It is well; I will make an agreement with you, but on one condition, which is, that when you come before me, Saul's daughter Michal is to come with you; till she comes you will not see my face.

bbe@2Samuel:3:14 @And David sent men to Saul's son Ish-bosheth, saying, Give me back Michal, my wife, whom I made mine for the price of the private parts of a hundred Philistines.

bbe@2Samuel:3:17 @Then Abner had a talk with the chief men of Israel, saying, In the past it was your desire to make David your king: so now, do it:

bbe@2Samuel:3:19 @And Abner said the same things to Benjamin: and he went to David in Hebron to make clear to him what seemed good to Israel and to all the people of Benjamin.

bbe@2Samuel:3:20 @So Abner, with twenty men, came to Hebron, to David. And David made a feast for Abner and the men who were with him.

bbe@2Samuel:3:21 @And Abner said to David, Now I will go, and make all Israel come to my lord the king, so that they may make an agreement with you, and your kingdom may be as wide as your heart's desire. Then David sent Abner away and he went in peace.

bbe@2Samuel:3:22 @Now the servants of David and Joab had been out attacking a band of armed men, and they came back with a great store of goods taken in the fight: but Abner was no longer in Hebron with David, for he had sent him away and he had gone in peace.

bbe@2Samuel:3:23 @When Joab and his men came, news was given them that Abner, the son of Ner, had come to the king, who had let him go away again in peace.

bbe@2Samuel:3:24 @Then Joab came to the king, and said, What have you done? when Abner came to you why did you send him away and let him go?

bbe@2Samuel:3:25 @Is it not clear to you that Abner, the son of Ner, came with deceit to get knowledge of your going out and your coming in and of all you are doing?

bbe@2Samuel:3:26 @And when Joab had come out from David, he sent men after Abner, and they overtook him at the water-spring of Sirah, and made him come back with them: but David had no knowledge of it.

bbe@2Samuel:3:27 @And when Abner was back in Hebron, Joab took him on one side by the doorway of the town to have a word with him quietly, and there he gave him a wound in the stomach, causing his death in payment for the death of his brother Asahel.

bbe@2Samuel:3:29 @May it come on the head of Joab and all his father's family: among the men of Joab's family may there ever be some who are diseased or lepers, or who do the work of women, or are put to the sword, or are wasted from need of food!

bbe@2Samuel:3:34 @Your hands were free, your feet were not chained: like the downfall of a man before evil men, so was your fall. And the weeping of the people over him went on again.

bbe@2Samuel:3:35 @And the people came to make David take food, while it was still day, but David with an oath said, May God's punishment be on me if I take a taste of bread or any other thing till the sun has gone down!

bbe@2Samuel:3:38 @And the king said to his servants, Do you not see that a chief and a great man has come to his end today in Israel?

bbe@2Samuel:3:39 @While I, though I am crowned king, have little strength, and these men, the sons of Zeruiah, are out of my control: may the Lord give to the evil-doer the reward of his evil-doing!

bbe@2Samuel:4:1 @And when Saul's son Ish-bosheth had news that Abner was dead in Hebron, his hands became feeble, and all the Israelites were troubled.

bbe@2Samuel:4:2 @And Saul's son had two men, captains of bands, one named Baanah and the other Rechab, sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, of the tribe of Benjamin; (for Beeroth was at one time taken to be part of Benjamin:

bbe@2Samuel:4:4 @Now Jonathan, Saul's son, had a son whose feet were damaged. He was five years old when news of the death of Saul and Jonathan came from Jezreel, and the woman who took care of him took him up and went in flight: and while she was getting him away as quickly as she was able, he had a fall and his feet were damaged.

bbe@2Samuel:4:5 @And Rechab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, went out and came to the house of Ish-bosheth in the heat of the day, when he was resting in the middle of the day. Now the woman who kept the door was cleaning grain, and sleep overcame her.

bbe@2Samuel:4:7 @And when they came into the house, Ish-bosheth was stretched on his bed in his bedroom; and they made an attack on him and put him to death, and, cutting off his head, they took it with them and went by the road through the Arabah all night.

bbe@2Samuel:4:8 @And they took the head of Ish-bosheth to David in Hebron, and said to the king, Here is the head of Ish-bosheth, the son of Saul your hater, who would have taken your life; the Lord has taken payment for the wrongs of my lord the king from Saul and his seed today.

bbe@2Samuel:4:9 @And David made answer to Rechab and his brother Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, and said to them, By the living Lord, who has kept me safe from all my trouble,

bbe@2Samuel:4:10 @When one came to me with the news of Saul's death, in the belief that it would be good news, I took him and put him to death in Ziklag, which was the reward I gave him for his news:

bbe@2Samuel:5:6 @And the king and his men went to Jerusalem against the Jebusites, the people of the land: and they said to David, You will not come in here, but the blind and the feeble-footed will keep you out; for they said, David will not be able to come in here.

bbe@2Samuel:5:8 @And that day David said, Whoever makes an attack on the Jebusites, let him go up by the water-pipe, and put to death all the blind and feeble-footed who are hated by David. And this is why they say, The blind and feeble-footed may not come into the house.

bbe@2Samuel:5:10 @And David became greater and greater; for the Lord, the God of armies, was with him.

bbe@2Samuel:5:11 @And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David, with cedar-trees and woodworkers and stoneworkers: and they made David a house.

bbe@2Samuel:5:13 @And David took more women and wives in Jerusalem, after he had come from Hebron: and he had more sons and daughters.

bbe@2Samuel:5:14 @These are the names of those whose birth took place in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab and Nathan and Solomon

bbe@2Samuel:5:18 @And when the Philistines came, they went in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.

bbe@2Samuel:5:20 @And David went to Baal-perazim, and overcame them there; and he said, The Lord has let the forces fighting against me be broken before me as a wall is broken by rushing waters. So that place was named Baal-perazim.

bbe@2Samuel:5:21 @And the Philistines, when they went in flight, did not take their images with them, and David and his men took them away.

bbe@2Samuel:5:22 @And the Philistines came up again, and went in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.

bbe@2Samuel:5:23 @And when David went for directions to the Lord, he said, You are not to go up against them in front; but make a circle round them from the back and come on them opposite the spice-trees.

bbe@2Samuel:5:24 @Then at the sound of footsteps in the tops of the trees, go forward quickly, for the Lord has gone out before you to overcome the army of the Philistines.

bbe@2Samuel:5:25 @And David did as the Lord had said; and he overcame the Philistines, attacking them from Gibeon to near Gezer.

bbe@2Samuel:6:1 @And David got together all the fighting-men of Israel to the number of thirty thousand;

bbe@2Samuel:6:2 @And David, and all the people who were with him, went to Baal of Judah to get the ark of God, over which the holy name is named, the name of the Lord of armies, whose place is between the winged ones.

bbe@2Samuel:6:5 @And David and all the men of Israel made melody before the Lord with all their power, with songs and with corded instruments and instruments of brass.

bbe@2Samuel:6:6 @And when they came to Nacon's grain-floor, Uzzah put his hand on the ark of God to keep it safe in its place, for the oxen were out of control.

bbe@2Samuel:6:7 @And the wrath of the Lord, burning against Uzzah, sent destruction on him because he had put his hand on the ark, and death came to him there by the ark of God.

bbe@2Samuel:6:8 @And David was angry because of the Lord's outburst of wrath against Uzzah: and he gave that place the name Perez-uzzah, which is its name to this day.

bbe@2Samuel:6:9 @And such was David's fear of the Lord that day, that he said, How may I let the ark of God come to me?

bbe@2Samuel:6:10 @So David did not let the ark of the Lord come back to him to the town of David: but had it turned away and put into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

bbe@2Samuel:6:15 @So David and all the men of Israel took up the ark of the Lord with cries of joy and sounding of horns.

bbe@2Samuel:6:16 @And when the ark of the Lord came into the town of David, Michal, Saul's daughter, looking out of the window, saw King David dancing and jumping before the Lord; and to her mind he seemed foolish.

bbe@2Samuel:6:18 @And after David had made the burned offerings and the peace-offerings, he gave the people a blessing in the name of the Lord of armies.

bbe@2Samuel:6:19 @And he gave to every man and woman among all the people, among all the masses of Israel, a cake of bread and a measure of wine and a cake of dry grapes. Then all the people went away, every man to his house.

bbe@2Samuel:6:20 @Then David came back to give a blessing to his family. And Michal, Saul's daughter, came out to him and said, How full of glory was the king of Israel today, who let himself be seen uncovered by his servant-girls like a foolish person uncovering himself without shame!

bbe@2Samuel:6:21 @And David said to Michal, I was dancing before the Lord, who put me over your father and all his sons, to make me a ruler over the people of the Lord, over his people Israel: and I will go on playing before the Lord;

bbe@2Samuel:6:22 @And I will do even worse than this, and make myself even lower in your eyes: but the servant-girls of whom you were talking will give me honour.

bbe@2Samuel:7:4 @Now that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,

bbe@2Samuel:7:5 @Go and say to my servant David, The Lord says, Are you to be the builder of a house, a living-place for me?

bbe@2Samuel:7:7 @In all the places where I went with all the children of Israel, did I ever say to any of the judges of Israel, to whom I gave the care of my people Israel, Why have you not made me a house of cedar?

bbe@2Samuel:7:9 @And I have been with you wherever you went, cutting off before you all those who were against you; and I will make your name great, like the name of the greatest ones of the earth.

bbe@2Samuel:7:10 @And I will make a resting-place for my people Israel, planting them there, so that they may be living in the place which is theirs, and never again be moved; and never again will they be troubled by evil men as they were at the first,

bbe@2Samuel:7:11 @From the time when I put judges over my people Israel; and I will give you peace from all who are against you. And the Lord says to you that he will make you the head of a line of kings.

bbe@2Samuel:7:12 @And when the time comes for you to go to rest with your fathers, I will put in your place your seed after you, the offspring of your body, and I will make his kingdom strong.

bbe@2Samuel:7:13 @He will be the builder of a house for my name, and I will make the seat of his authority certain for ever.

bbe@2Samuel:7:14 @I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son: if he does wrong, I will give him punishment with the rod of men and with the blows of the children of men;

bbe@2Samuel:7:15 @But my mercy will not be taken away from him, as I took it from him who was before you.

bbe@2Samuel:7:16 @And your family and your kingdom will keep their place before me for ever: the seat of your authority will never be overturned

bbe@2Samuel:7:22 @Truly you are great, O Lord God: there is no one like you and no other God but you, as is clear from everything which has come to our ears.

bbe@2Samuel:7:23 @And what other nation in the earth, like your people Israel, did a god go out to take for himself, to be his people, and to make a name for himself, and to do great and strange things for them, driving out a nation and its gods from before his people?

bbe@2Samuel:7:24 @But you took and made strong for yourself your people Israel, to be your people for ever; and you, Lord, became their God.

bbe@2Samuel:7:26 @And let your name be made great for ever, and let men say, The Lord of armies is God over Israel: and let the family of David your servant be made strong before you!

bbe@2Samuel:7:27 @For you, O Lord of armies, the God of Israel, have clearly said to your servant, I will make you the head of a family of kings: and so it has come into your servant's heart to make this prayer to you.

bbe@2Samuel:8:1 @And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them; and David took the authority of the mother-town from the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@2Samuel:8:2 @And he overcame the Moabites, and he had them measured with a line when they were stretched out on the earth; marking out two lines for death and one full line for life. So the Moabites became servants to David and gave him offerings.

bbe@2Samuel:8:3 @And David overcame Hadadezer, the son of Rehob, king of Zobah, when he went to make his power seen by the River.

bbe@2Samuel:8:4 @And David took from him one thousand, seven hundred horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and David had the leg-muscles of the horses cut, only keeping enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.

bbe@2Samuel:8:5 @And when the Aramaeans of Damascus came to the help of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David put to the sword twenty-two thousand of the Aramaeans.

bbe@2Samuel:8:6 @And David put armed forces in Aram of Damascus: and the Aramaeans became servants to David and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

bbe@2Samuel:8:9 @And when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer,

bbe@2Samuel:8:10 @He sent his son Hadoram to David, with words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had wars with Tou; and Hadoram took with him vessels of silver and gold and brass:

bbe@2Samuel:8:11 @These King David made holy to the Lord, together with the silver and gold which he had taken from the nations he had overcome--

bbe@2Samuel:8:13 @And David got great honour for himself, when he came back, by the destruction of Edom in the valley of Salt, to the number of eighteen thousand men.

bbe@2Samuel:8:14 @And he put armed forces in Edom; all through Edom he had armed forces stationed, and all the Edomites became servants to David. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

bbe@2Samuel:8:17 @And Zadok and Abiathar, the son of Ahimelech, the son of Ahitub, were priests; and Seraiah was the scribe;

bbe@2Samuel:9:2 @Now there was of Saul's people a servant named Ziba, and they sent him to David; and the king said to him, Are you Ziba? And he said, I am.

bbe@2Samuel:9:3 @And the king said, Is there anyone of Saul's family still living, to whom I may be a friend in God's name? And Ziba said, There is a son of Jonathan, whose feet are damaged.

bbe@2Samuel:9:6 @And Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, came to David, and falling down on his face, gave him honour. And David said, Mephibosheth. And answering he said, Your servant is here.

bbe@2Samuel:9:7 @And David said to him, Have no fear: for truly I will be good to you, because of your father Jonathan, and I will give back to you all the land which was Saul's; and you will have a place at my table at all times.

bbe@2Samuel:9:10 @And you and your sons and your servants are to take care of the land for him, and get in the fruit of it, so that your master's son may have food: but Mephibosheth, your master's son, will have a place at my table at all times. Now Ziba had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

bbe@2Samuel:9:11 @Then Ziba said to the king, Every order which you have given to your servant will be done. As for Mephibosheth, he had a place at David's table, like one of the king's sons.

bbe@2Samuel:9:12 @And Mephibosheth had a young son named Mica. And all the people living in the house of Ziba were servants to Mephibosheth.

bbe@2Samuel:9:13 @So Mephibosheth went on living in Jerusalem; for he took all his meals at the king's table; and he had not the use of his feet.

bbe@2Samuel:10:1 @Now after this, death came to the king of the children of Ammon, and Hanun, his son, became king in his place.

bbe@2Samuel:10:2 @And David said, I will be a friend to Hanun, the son of Nahash, as his father was a friend to me. So David sent his servants, to give him words of comfort on account of his father. And David's servants came into the land of the children of Ammon.

bbe@2Samuel:10:3 @But the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Hanun their lord, Does it seem to you that David is honouring your father by sending comforters to you? has he not sent his servants to go through the town and make secret observation of it, and overcome it?

bbe@2Samuel:10:5 @When David had news of it, he sent men out with the purpose of meeting them on their way, for the men were greatly shamed: and the king said, Go to Jericho till your hair is long again, and then come back.

bbe@2Samuel:10:6 @And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves hated by David, they sent to the Aramaeans of Beth-rehob and Zobah, and got for payment twenty thousand footmen, and they got from the king of Maacah a thousand men, and from Tob twelve thousand.

bbe@2Samuel:10:7 @And hearing of this, David sent Joab and all the army and the best fighting-men.

bbe@2Samuel:10:8 @And the children of Ammon came out and put their forces in position at the way into the town: and the Aramaeans of Zobah and of Rehob, with the men of Tob and Maacah, were by themselves in the field.

bbe@2Samuel:10:9 @Now when Joab saw that their forces were in position against him in front and at his back, he took the best of the men of Israel and put them in line against the Aramaeans;

bbe@2Samuel:10:11 @And he said, If the Aramaeans are stronger and get the better of me, then you are to come to my help; but if the children of Ammon get the better of you, I will come to your help.

bbe@2Samuel:10:14 @And when the children of Ammon saw the flight of the Aramaeans, they themselves went in flight from Abishai, and came into the town. So Joab went back from fighting the children of Ammon and came to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:10:15 @And when the Aramaeans saw that Israel had overcome them, they got themselves together.

bbe@2Samuel:10:16 @And Hadadezer sent for the Aramaeans who were on the other side of the River: and they came to Helam, with Shobach, the captain of Hadadezer's army, at their head.

bbe@2Samuel:10:17 @And word of this was given to David: and he got all Israel together and went over Jordan and came to Helam. And the Aramaeans put their forces in position against David, and made an attack on him.

bbe@2Samuel:10:18 @And the Aramaeans went in flight before Israel; and David put to the sword the men of seven hundred Aramaean war-carriages and forty thousand footmen, and Shobach, the captain of the army, was wounded, and came to his death there.

bbe@2Samuel:10:19 @And when all the kings who were servants of Hadadezer saw that they were overcome by Israel, they made peace with Israel and became their servants. So the Aramaeans, in fear, gave no more help to the children of Ammon.

bbe@2Samuel:11:1 @Now in the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, David sent Joab and his servants and all Israel with him; and they made waste the land of the children of Ammon, and took up their position before Rabbah, shutting it in. But David was still at Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:11:4 @And David sent and took her; and she came to him, and he took her to his bed: (for she had been made clean;) then she went back to her house.

bbe@2Samuel:11:5 @And the woman became with child; and she sent word to David that she was with child.

bbe@2Samuel:11:6 @And David sent to Joab saying, Send Uriah the Hittite to me. And Joab sent Uriah to David.

bbe@2Samuel:11:7 @And when Uriah came to him, David put questions to him about how Joab and the people were, and how the war was going.

bbe@2Samuel:11:10 @And when word was given to David that Uriah had not gone down to his house, David said to Uriah, Have you not come from a journey? why did you not go down to your house?

bbe@2Samuel:11:13 @And when David sent for him, he took meat and drink with him, and David made him the worse for drink: and when evening came, he went to rest on his bed with the servants of his lord, but he did not go down to his house.

bbe@2Samuel:11:15 @And in the letter he said, Take care to put Uriah in the very front of the line, where the fighting is most violent, and go back from him, so that he may be overcome and put to death.

bbe@2Samuel:11:17 @And the men of the town went out and had a fight with Joab: and a number of David's men came to their death in the fight, and with them Uriah the Hittite.

bbe@2Samuel:11:21 @Who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall? Then say to him, Your servant Uriah the Hittite is among the dead.

bbe@2Samuel:11:22 @So the man went, and came to David, and gave him all the news which Joab had sent him to give; then David was angry with Joab and said, Why did you go so near the town for the fight? was it not certain that their archers would be on the wall? who put Abimelech, the son of Jerubbaal, to death? did not a woman send a great stone down on him from the wall, putting him to death at Thebez? why did you go so near the wall?

bbe@2Samuel:11:23 @And the man said to David, Truly the men got the better of us, and came out against us into the open country, but we sent them back to the very doors of the town.

bbe@2Samuel:11:24 @And the archers sent their arrows at your servants from the wall, and some of the king's servants are dead, and among them is your servant Uriah the Hittite.

bbe@2Samuel:11:25 @Then David said to the man, Go and say to Joab, Do not let this be a grief to you; for one man may come to his death by the sword like another: put up an even stronger fight against the town, and take it: and do you put heart into him.

bbe@2Samuel:11:27 @And when the days of weeping were past, David sent for her, and took her into his house, and she became his wife and gave him a son. But the Lord was not pleased with the thing David had done.

bbe@2Samuel:12:1 @And the Lord sent Nathan to David. And Nathan came to him and said, There were two men in the same town: one a man of great wealth, and the other a poor man.

bbe@2Samuel:12:3 @But the poor man had only one little she-lamb, which he had got and taken care of: from its birth it had been with him like one of his children; his meat was its food, and from his cup it took its drink, resting in his arms, and it was like a daughter to him.

bbe@2Samuel:12:4 @Now a traveller came to the house of the man of wealth, but he would not take anything from his flock or his herd to make a meal for the traveller who had come to him, but he took the poor man's lamb and made it ready for the man who had come.

bbe@2Samuel:12:5 @And David was full of wrath against that man; and he said to Nathan, By the living Lord, death is the right punishment for the man who has done this:

bbe@2Samuel:12:6 @And he will have to give back four times the value of the lamb, because he has done this and because he had no pity.

bbe@2Samuel:12:10 @So now the sword will never be turned away from your family; because you have had no respect for me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.

bbe@2Samuel:12:14 @But still, because you have had no respect for the Lord, death will certainly overtake the child who has newly come to birth.

bbe@2Samuel:12:15 @Then Nathan went back to his house. And the hand of the Lord was on David's son, the child of Uriah's wife, and it became very ill.

bbe@2Samuel:12:17 @And the chief men of his house got up and went to his side to make him get up from the earth, but he would not; and he would not take food with them.

bbe@2Samuel:12:20 @Then David got up from the earth, and after washing and rubbing himself with oil and changing his clothing, he went into the house of the Lord and gave worship: then he went back to his house, and at his order they put food before him and he had a meal.

bbe@2Samuel:12:21 @Then his servants said to him, Why have you been acting in this way? you were weeping and going without food while the child was still living; but when the child was dead, you got up and had a meal.

bbe@2Samuel:12:22 @And he said, While the child was still living I went without food and gave myself up to weeping: for I said, Who is able to say that the Lord will not have mercy on me and give the child life?

bbe@2Samuel:12:23 @But now that the child is dead there is no reason for me to go without food; am I able to make him come back to life? I will go to him, but he will never come back to me.

bbe@2Samuel:12:24 @And David gave comfort to his wife Bath-sheba, and he went in to her and had connection with her: and she had a son to whom she gave the name Solomon. And he was dear to the Lord.

bbe@2Samuel:12:25 @And he sent word by Nathan the prophet, who gave him the name Jedidiah, by the word of the Lord.

bbe@2Samuel:12:27 @And Joab sent men to David, saying, I have made war against Rabbah and have taken the water-town.

bbe@2Samuel:12:28 @So now, get the rest of the people together, and put them in position against the town and take it, for if I take it, it will be named after my name.

bbe@2Samuel:12:31 @And he took the people out of the town and put them to work with wood-cutting instruments, and iron grain-crushers, and iron axes, and at brick-making: this he did to all the towns of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people went back to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:13:1 @Now after this, it came about that Absalom, David's son, had a beautiful sister, whose name was Tamar; and David's son Amnon was in love with her.

bbe@2Samuel:13:2 @And he was so deeply in love that he became ill because of his sister Tamar; for she was a virgin, and so it seemed hard to Amnon to do anything to her.

bbe@2Samuel:13:3 @But Amnon had a friend whose name was Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother: and Jonadab was a very wise man.

bbe@2Samuel:13:5 @Then Jonadab said to him, Go to your bed, and let it seem that you are ill: and when your father comes to see you, say to him, Let my sister Tamar come and give me bread, and get the food ready before my eyes, so that I may see it and take it from her hand.

bbe@2Samuel:13:6 @So Amnon went to bed and made himself seem ill: and when the king came to see him, Amnon said to the king, Please let my sister Tamar come and make me one or two cakes before my eyes, so that I may take food from her hand.

bbe@2Samuel:13:7 @Then David sent to the house for Tamar and said, Go now to your brother Amnon's house and get a meal for him.

bbe@2Samuel:13:9 @And she took the cooking-pot, and put the cakes before him, but he would not take them. And Amnon said, Let everyone go away from me. So they all went out.

bbe@2Samuel:13:10 @Then Amnon said to Tamar, Take the food and come into my bedroom, so that I may take it from your hand. So Tamar took the cakes she had made and went with them into her brother Amnon's bedroom.

bbe@2Samuel:13:11 @And when she took them to give them to him, he put his arms round her and said, Come to bed, my sister.

bbe@2Samuel:13:12 @And answering him, she said, O my brother, do not put shame on me; it is not right for such a thing to be done in Israel: do not this evil thing.

bbe@2Samuel:13:13 @What will become of me in my shame? and as for you, you will be looked down on with disgust by all Israel. Now then, go and make your request to the king, for he will not keep me from you.

bbe@2Samuel:13:16 @And she said to him, Not so, my brother, for this great wrong in sending me away is worse than what you did to me before. But he gave no attention to her.

bbe@2Samuel:13:18 @Now she had on a long robe, such as in past times the king's virgin daughters were dressed in. Then the servant put her out, locking the door after her.

bbe@2Samuel:13:23 @Now after two full years, Absalom had men cutting the wool of his sheep in Baal-hazor, which is near Ephraim: and he sent for all the king's sons to come to his feast.

bbe@2Samuel:13:24 @And Absalom came to the king and said, See now, your servant is cutting the wool of his sheep; will the king and his servants be pleased to come?

bbe@2Samuel:13:32 @And Jonadab, the son of Shimeah, David's brother, said, Let not my lord have the idea that all the sons of the king have been put to death; for only Amnon is dead: this has been purposed by Absalom from the day when he took his sister Tamar by force.

bbe@2Samuel:13:34 @But Absalom went in flight. And the young man who kept the watch, lifting up his eyes, saw that a great band of people was coming down the slope by the way of the Horons; and the watchman came and gave word to the king, saying, I saw men coming down by the way of the Horons, from the hillside.

bbe@2Samuel:13:36 @And while he was talking, the king's sons came, with weeping and loud cries: and the king and all his servants were weeping bitterly.

bbe@2Samuel:13:37 @So Absalom went in flight and came to Talmai, the son of Ammihud, the king of Geshur, where he was for three years.

bbe@2Samuel:13:38 @And the king was sorrowing for his son all the time.

bbe@2Samuel:14:2 @And Joab sent to Tekoa and got from there a wise woman, and said to her, Now make yourself seem like one given up to grief, and put on the clothing of sorrow, not using any sweet oil for your body, but looking like one who for a long time has been weeping for the dead:

bbe@2Samuel:14:3 @And come to the king and say these words to him. So Joab gave her words to say.

bbe@2Samuel:14:4 @And the woman of Tekoa came to the king, and falling on her face, gave him honour and said, Give me help, O king.

bbe@2Samuel:14:6 @And I had two sons, and the two of them had a fight in the field, and there was no one to come between them, and one with a blow put the other to death.

bbe@2Samuel:14:7 @And now all the family is turned against me, your servant, saying, Give up him who was the cause of his brother's death, so that we may put him to death in payment for the life of his brother, whose life he took; and we will put an end to the one who will get the heritage: so they will put out my last burning coal, and my husband will have no name or offspring on the face of the earth.

bbe@2Samuel:14:9 @And the woman of Tekoa said to the king, My lord, O king, may the sin be on me and on my family, and may the king and the seat of his kingdom be clear of sin!

bbe@2Samuel:14:10 @And the king said, If anyone says anything to you, make him come to me, and he will do you no more damage.

bbe@2Samuel:14:11 @Then she said, Let the king keep in mind the Lord your God, so that he who gives punishment for blood may be kept back from further destruction and that no one may send death on my son. And he said, By the living Lord, not a hair of your son's head will come to the earth.

bbe@2Samuel:14:14 @For death comes to us all, and we are like water drained out on the earth, which it is not possible to take up again; and God will not take away the life of the man whose purpose is that he who has been sent away may not be completely cut off from him.

bbe@2Samuel:14:15 @And now it is my fear of the people which has made me come to say these words to my lord the king: and your servant said, I will put my cause before the king, and it may be that he will give effect to my request.

bbe@2Samuel:14:16 @For the king will give ear, and take his servant out of the power of the man whose purpose is the destruction of me and my son together from the heritage of God.

bbe@2Samuel:14:17 @Then your servant said, May the word of my lord the king give me peace! for my lord the king is as the angel of God in his hearing of good and bad: and may the Lord your God be with you!

bbe@2Samuel:14:18 @Then the king said to the woman, Now give me an answer to the question I am going to put to you; keep nothing back. And the woman said, Let my lord the king say on.

bbe@2Samuel:14:19 @And the king said, Is not the hand of Joab with you in all this? And the woman in answer said, By the life of your soul, my lord the king, it is not possible for anyone to go to the right hand or to the left from anything said by the king: your servant Joab gave me orders, and put all these words in my mouth:

bbe@2Samuel:14:21 @And the king said to Joab, See now, I will do this thing: go then and Come back with the young man Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:14:23 @So Joab got up and went to Geshur and came back again to Jerusalem with Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:14:27 @And Absalom was the father of three sons and of one daughter named Tamar, who was very beautiful.

bbe@2Samuel:14:29 @Then Absalom sent for Joab to send him to the king, but he would not come to him: and he sent again a second time, but he would not come.

bbe@2Samuel:14:31 @Then Joab came to Absalom in his house and said to him, Why have your servants put my field on fire?

bbe@2Samuel:14:32 @And Absalom's answer was, See, I sent to you saying, Come here, so that I may send you to the king to say, Why have I come back from Geshur? it would be better for me to be there still: let me now see the king's face, and if there is any sin in me, let him put me to death.

bbe@2Samuel:14:33 @So Joab went to the king and said these words to him: and when the king had sent for him, Absalom came, and went down on his face on the earth before the king: and the king gave him a kiss.

bbe@2Samuel:15:2 @And Absalom got up early, morning after morning, and took his place at the side of the public meeting-place: and when any man had a cause which had to come to the king to be judged, then Absalom, crying out to him, said, What is your town? and he would say, Your servant is of one of the tribes of Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:15:3 @And Absalom would say to him, See, your cause is true and right; but no man has been named by the king to give you a hearing.

bbe@2Samuel:15:4 @And more than this, Absalom said, If only I was made judge in the land, so that every man who has any cause or question might come to me, and I would give a right decision for him!

bbe@2Samuel:15:5 @And if any man came near to give him honour, he took him by the hand and gave him a kiss.

bbe@2Samuel:15:6 @And this Absalom did to everyone in Israel who came to the king to have his cause judged: so Absalom, like a thief, took away the hearts of the men of Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:15:7 @Now at the end of four years, Absalom said to the king, Let me go to Hebron and give effect to the oath which I made to the Lord:

bbe@2Samuel:15:8 @For while I was living in Geshur in Aram, your servant made an oath, saying, If ever the Lord lets me come back to Jerusalem, I will give him worship in Hebron.

bbe@2Samuel:15:10 @But Absalom at the same time sent watchers through all the tribes of Israel to say, At the sound of the horn you are to say, Absalom is king in Hebron.

bbe@2Samuel:15:11 @And with Absalom, at his request, went two hundred men from Jerusalem, who were completely unconscious of his designs.

bbe@2Samuel:15:12 @And Absalom sent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, one of David's helpers, from Giloh his town, while he was making the offerings. And the design against David became strong, for more and more people were joined to Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:15:13 @And one came to David and said, The hearts of the men of Israel have gone after Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:15:14 @And David said to all his servants who were with him at Jerusalem, Come, let us go in flight, or not one of us will be safe from Absalom: let us go without loss of time, or he will overtake us quickly and send evil on us, and put the town to the sword.

bbe@2Samuel:15:16 @So the king went out, taking with him all the people of his house, but for ten of his women, who were to take care of the house.

bbe@2Samuel:15:18 @And all the people went on by his side; and all the Cherethites and all the Pelethites and all the men of Ittai of Gath, six hundred men who came after him from Gath, went on before the king.

bbe@2Samuel:15:20 @It was only yesterday you came to us; why then am I to make you go up and down with us? for I have to go where I may; go back then, and take your countrymen with you, and may the Lord's mercy and good faith be with you.

bbe@2Samuel:15:22 @And David said to Ittai, Go forward, then. And Ittai the Gittite went on, with all his men and all the little ones he had with him.

bbe@2Samuel:15:24 @Then Zadok came, and Abiathar, and with them the ark of God's agreement: and they put down the ark of God, till all the people from the town had gone by.

bbe@2Samuel:15:25 @And the king said to Zadok, Take the ark of God back into the town: if I have grace in the eyes of the Lord, he will let me come back and see it and his House again:

bbe@2Samuel:15:26 @But if he says, I have no delight in you: then, here I am; let him do to me what seems good to him.

bbe@2Samuel:15:31 @And word came to David, saying, Ahithophel is among those who are joined to Absalom. And David said, O Lord, let the wisdom of Ahithophel be made foolish.

bbe@2Samuel:15:32 @Now when David had come to the top of the slope, where they gave worship to God, Hushai the Archite came to him in great grief with dust on his head:

bbe@2Samuel:15:33 @David said to him, If you go on with me, you will be a trouble to me:

bbe@2Samuel:15:34 @But if you go back to the town and say to Absalom, I will be your servant, O king; as in the past I have been your father's servant, so now I will be yours: then you will be able to keep Ahithophel's designs against me from being put into effect.

bbe@2Samuel:15:35 @And have you not there Zadok and Abiathar the priests? so whatever comes to your ears from the king's house, give word of it to Zadok and Abiathar the priests.

bbe@2Samuel:15:36 @See, they have with them their two sons, Ahimaaz, Zadok's son, and Jonathan, the son of Abiathar; by them you may send word to me of everything which comes to your ears.

bbe@2Samuel:15:37 @So Hushai, David's friend, went into the town, and Absalom came to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:16:1 @And when David had gone a little way past the top of the slope, Ziba, the servant of Mephibosheth, came to him, with two asses on which were two hundred cakes of bread and a hundred stems of dry grapes and a hundred summer fruits and a skin of wine.

bbe@2Samuel:16:2 @And David said to Ziba, What is your reason for this? And Ziba said, The asses are for the use of the king's people, and the bread and the fruit are food for the young men; and the wine is for drink for those who are overcome by weariness in the waste land.

bbe@2Samuel:16:3 @And the king said, And where is your master's son? And Ziba said, He is still at Jerusalem: for he said, Today Israel will give back to me the kingdom of my father.

bbe@2Samuel:16:4 @Then the king said to Ziba, Truly everything which was Mephibosheth's is yours. And Ziba said, I give honour to my lord, may I have grace in your eyes, my lord, O king!

bbe@2Samuel:16:5 @And when King David came to Bahurim, a man of Saul's family named Shimei, the son of Gera, came out from there, calling curses after him.

bbe@2Samuel:16:6 @And he sent stones at David and at all the king's servants and at all the people and at all the men of war by his side, on the right hand and on the left.

bbe@2Samuel:16:7 @And Shimei said, with curses, Be gone, be gone, you man of blood, you good-for-nothing:

bbe@2Samuel:16:8 @The Lord has sent punishment on you for all the blood of the family of Saul, whose kingdom you have taken; and the Lord has given the kingdom to Absalom, your son: now you yourself are taken in your evil, because you are a man of blood.

bbe@2Samuel:16:9 @Then Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said to the king, Is this dead dog to go on cursing my lord the king? let me go over and take off his head.

bbe@2Samuel:16:12 @It may be that the Lord will take note of my wrongs, and give me back good in answer to his cursing of me today.

bbe@2Samuel:16:13 @So David and his men went on their way: and Shimei went by the hillside parallel with them, cursing and sending stones and dust at him.

bbe@2Samuel:16:14 @And the king and his people came tired to Jordan, and took their rest there.

bbe@2Samuel:16:15 @And Absalom and the men of Israel came to Jerusalem, and Ahithophel was with him.

bbe@2Samuel:16:16 @Then Hushai the Archite, David's friend, came to Absalom and said, Long life to the king, long life to the king!

bbe@2Samuel:16:18 @And Hushai said to Absalom, Not so; I am for that man whom the Lord and this people and all the men of Israel have taken as king, and I will take my place with him.

bbe@2Samuel:16:21 @And Ahithophel said to Absalom, Go in to your father's women who are here looking after his house; then all Israel will have the news that you are hated by your father, and the hands of your supporters will be strong

bbe@2Samuel:16:22 @So they put up the tent for Absalom on the top of the house, and Absalom went in to his father's women before the eyes of all Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:17:1 @Then Ahithophel said to Absalom, Let me take out twelve thousand men and this very night I will go after David:

bbe@2Samuel:17:2 @And I will come up with him when he is tired and feeble, and make him full of fear: and all the people with him will go in flight; and I will make an attack on the king only:

bbe@2Samuel:17:3 @And I will make all the people come back to you as a bride comes back to her husband: it is the life of only one man you are going after; so all the people will be at peace.

bbe@2Samuel:17:4 @And the saying was pleasing to Absalom and to the responsible men of Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:17:6 @And when Hushai came, Absalom said to him, This is what Ahithophel has said: are we to do as he says? if not, what is your suggestion?

bbe@2Samuel:17:7 @And Hushai said to Absalom, Ahithophel's idea is not a good one at this time.

bbe@2Samuel:17:8 @Hushai said further, You have knowledge of your father and his men, that they are men of war, and that their feelings are bitter, like those of a bear in the field whose young ones have been taken from her: and your father is a man of war, and will not take his night's rest with the people;

bbe@2Samuel:17:9 @But he will certainly have taken cover now in some hole or secret place; and if some of our people, at the first attack, are overcome, then any hearing of it will say, There is destruction among the people who are on Absalom's side.

bbe@2Samuel:17:10 @Then even the strongest, whose heart is like the heart of a lion, will become like water; for all Israel is conscious that your father is a man of war, and those who are with him are strong and without fear.

bbe@2Samuel:17:11 @But my suggestion is that all Israel, from Dan as far as Beer-sheba, comes together to you, a great army like the sands of the sea in number; and that you yourself go out among them.

bbe@2Samuel:17:12 @Then we will come on him in some place, wherever he may be, falling on him as the dew comes on the earth: and of him and all the men who are with him not one will get away with his life.

bbe@2Samuel:17:13 @And if he has gone into some town, then let all Israel take strong cords to that town, and we will have it pulled into the valley, till not one small stone is to be seen there.

bbe@2Samuel:17:14 @Then Absalom and all the men of Israel said, Hushai's suggestion is better than that of Ahithophel. For it was the purpose of the Lord to make the wise designs of Ahithophel without effect, so that the Lord might send evil on Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:17:15 @Then Hushai said to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, This is the suggestion made by Ahithophel to Absalom and the responsible men of Israel, and this is what I said to them.

bbe@2Samuel:17:16 @So now send the news quickly to David, and say, Do not take your night's rest by the way across the river to the waste land, but be certain to go over; or the king and all the people with him will come to destruction.

bbe@2Samuel:17:17 @Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz were waiting by En-rogel; and a servant-girl went from time to time and gave them news and they went with the news to King David, for it was not wise for them to let themselves be seen coming into the town.

bbe@2Samuel:17:18 @But a boy saw them, and gave word of it to Absalom: so the two of them went away quickly, and came to the house of a man in Bahurim who had a water-hole in his garden, and they went down into it.

bbe@2Samuel:17:20 @And Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house and said, Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan? And the woman said to them, They have gone from here to the stream. And after searching for them, and seeing nothing of them, they went back to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:17:21 @Then after the servants had gone away, they came up out of the water-hole and went to give King David the news; and they said, Get up and go quickly over the water, for such and such are Ahithophel's designs against you.

bbe@2Samuel:17:22 @So David and all the people who were with him went up over Jordan: when dawn came, every one of them had gone over Jordan.

bbe@2Samuel:17:23 @Now when Ahithophel saw that his suggestion was not acted on, he got his ass ready, and went back to his house, to the town where he came from, and having put his house in order, he put himself to death by hanging; so he came to his end and was put in the resting-place of his father

bbe@2Samuel:17:24 @And David came to Mahanaim. And Absalom, with all the men of Israel, went over Jordan.

bbe@2Samuel:17:25 @And Absalom put Amasa at the head of the army in place of Joab. Now Amasa was the son of a man named Ithra the Ishmaelite, who had been the lover of Abigail, the daughter of Jesse, sister of Zeruiah, Joab's mother.

bbe@2Samuel:17:27 @Now when David had come to Mahanaim, Shobi, the son of Nahash of Rabbah, the Ammonite, and Machir, the son of Ammiel of Lo-debar, and Barzillai the Gileadite of Rogelim,

bbe@2Samuel:17:28 @Came with beds and basins and pots, and grain and meal, and all sorts of dry foods,

bbe@2Samuel:18:3 @But the people said, It is better for you not to go out: for if we are put to flight, they will not give a thought to us, and if death overtakes half of us, it will be nothing to them: but you are of more value than ten thousand of us: so it is better for you to be ready to come to our help from this town.

bbe@2Samuel:18:5 @And the king gave orders to Joab and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Because of me, be gentle to the young man Absalom. And this order about Absalom was given in the hearing of all the people.

bbe@2Samuel:18:7 @And the people of Israel were overcome there by the servants of David, and there was a great destruction that day, and twenty thousand men were put to the sword.

bbe@2Samuel:18:9 @And Absalom came across some of David's men. And Absalom was seated on his mule, and the mule went under the thick branches of a great tree, and his head became fixed in the tree and he was lifted up between earth and heaven, and the beast under him went on.

bbe@2Samuel:18:12 @And the man said to Joab, Even if you gave me a thousand bits of silver, I would not put out my hand against the king's son: for in our hearing the king gave orders to you and Abishai and Ittai, saying, Take care that the young man Absalom is not touched.

bbe@2Samuel:18:13 @And if I had falsely put him to death (and nothing may be kept secret from the king), you would have had nothing to do with me.

bbe@2Samuel:18:15 @And ten young men, servants of Joab, came round Absalom and put an end to him.

bbe@2Samuel:18:16 @And Joab had the horn sounded, and the people came back from going after Israel, for Joab kept them back.

bbe@2Samuel:18:18 @Now Absalom, before his death, had put up for himself a pillar in the king's valley, naming it after himself; for he said, I have no son to keep my name in memory: and to this day it is named Absalom's pillar.

bbe@2Samuel:18:19 @Then Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said, Let me go and give the king news of how the Lord has done right in his cause against those who took up arms against him.

bbe@2Samuel:18:22 @Then Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok, said to Joab again, Whatever may come of it, let me go after the Cushite. And Joab said, Why have you a desire to go, my son, seeing that you will get no reward for your news?

bbe@2Samuel:18:23 @Whatever may come of it, he said, I will go. Then he said to him, Go. So Ahimaaz went running by the lowland road and overtook the Cushite.

bbe@2Samuel:18:25 @And the watchman gave news of it to the king. And the king said, If he is coming by himself, then he has news. And the man was travelling quickly, and came near.

bbe@2Samuel:18:26 @Then the watchman saw another man running: and crying out in the direction of the door he said, Here is another man running by himself. And the king said, He, like the other, comes with news.

bbe@2Samuel:18:27 @And the watchman said, It seems to me that the running of the first is like the running of Ahimaaz, the son of Zadok. And the king said, He is a good man, and his news will be good.

bbe@2Samuel:18:28 @And Ahimaaz, crying out to the king, said, It is well. And falling down before the king, with his face to the earth, he said, May the Lord your God be praised, who has given up the men who took up arms against my lord the king!

bbe@2Samuel:18:29 @And the king said, Is it well with the young man Absalom? And Ahimaaz said in answer, When Joab sent me, your servant, I saw a great outcry going on, but I had no knowledge of what it was.

bbe@2Samuel:18:31 @And then the Cushite came and said, I have news for my lord the king: today the Lord has done right in your cause against all those who took up arms against you.

bbe@2Samuel:19:3 @And the people made their way back to the town quietly and secretly, as those who are shamed go secretly when they go in flight from the war.

bbe@2Samuel:19:5 @And Joab came into the house to the king and said, Today you have put to shame the faces of all your servants who even now have kept you and your sons and your daughters and your wives and all your women safe from death;

bbe@2Samuel:19:7 @So get up now, and go out and say some kind words to your servants; for, by the Lord, I give you my oath, that if you do not go out, not one of them will keep with you tonight; and that will be worse for you than all the evil which has overtaken you from your earliest years.

bbe@2Samuel:19:8 @Then the king got up and took his seat near the town-door. And word was given to all the people that the king was in the public place: and all the people came before the king. Now all the men of Israel had gone back in flight to their tents.

bbe@2Samuel:19:9 @And through all the tribes of Israel the people were having arguments, saying, The king made us safe from the hands of those who were against us and made us free from the hands of the Philistines; and now he has gone in flight from the land, because of Absalom.

bbe@2Samuel:19:11 @And King David sent word to Zadok and Abiathar, the priests, Say to the responsible men of Judah, Why are you the last to take steps to get the king back to his house?

bbe@2Samuel:19:13 @And say to Amasa, Are you not my bone and my flesh? May God's punishment be on me, if I do not make you chief of the army before me at all times in place of Joab!

bbe@2Samuel:19:14 @And the hearts of the men of Judah were moved like one man; so that they sent to the king, saying, Come back, with all your servants.

bbe@2Samuel:19:15 @So the king came back, and came as far as Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, meeting the king there, to take him back with them over Jordan.

bbe@2Samuel:19:16 @And Shimei, the son of Gera, the Benjamite from Bahurim, got up quickly and went down with the men of Judah for the purpose of meeting King David;

bbe@2Samuel:19:17 @And with him a thousand men of Benjamin, and Ziba, the servant of Saul, with his fifteen sons and twenty servants, came rushing to Jordan before the king,

bbe@2Samuel:19:18 @And kept going across the river to take the people of the king's house over, and to do whatever was desired by the king. And Shimei, the son of Gera, went down on his face in the dust before the king, when he was about to go over Jordan,

bbe@2Samuel:19:19 @And said to him, Let me not be judged as a sinner in your eyes, O my lord, and do not keep in mind the wrong I did on the day when my lord the king went out of Jerusalem, or take it to heart.

bbe@2Samuel:19:20 @For your servant is conscious of his sin: and so, as you see, I have come today, the first of all the sons of Joseph, for the purpose of meeting my lord the king.

bbe@2Samuel:19:21 @But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, said, Is not death the right fate for Shimei, because he has been cursing the one marked by the holy oil?

bbe@2Samuel:19:22 @And David said, What have I to do with you, you sons of Zeruiah, that you put yourselves against me today? is it right for any man in Israel to be put to death today? for I am certain today that I am king in Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:19:23 @So the king said to Shimei, You will not be put to death. And the king gave him his oath.

bbe@2Samuel:19:24 @And Mephibosheth, the son of Saul's son, came down for the purpose of meeting the king; his feet had not been cared for or his hair cut or his clothing washed from the day when the king went away till the day when he came back in peace.

bbe@2Samuel:19:25 @Now when he had come from Jerusalem to see the king, the king said to him, Why did you not come with me, Mephibosheth?

bbe@2Samuel:19:27 @He has given you a false account of me: but my lord the king is like the angel of God: do then whatever seems good to you.

bbe@2Samuel:19:28 @For all my father's family were only dead men before my lord the king: and still you put your servant among those whose place is at the king's table. What right then have I to say anything more to the king?

bbe@2Samuel:19:30 @And Mephibosheth said, Let him take it all, now that my lord the king has come back to his house in peace!

bbe@2Samuel:19:31 @And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from Rogelim; and he went on as far as Jordan with the king to take him across Jordan.

bbe@2Samuel:19:33 @And the king said to Barzillai, Come over with me, and I will take care of you in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:19:34 @And Barzillai said to the king, How much of my life is still before me, for me to go up to Jerusalem with the king?

bbe@2Samuel:19:35 @I am now eighty years old: good and bad are the same to me; have meat and drink any taste for me now? am I able to take pleasure in the voices of men or women in song? why then am I to be a trouble to my lord the king?

bbe@2Samuel:19:36 @Your servant's desire was only to take the king over Jordan; why is the king to give me such a reward?

bbe@2Samuel:19:37 @Let your servant now go back again, so that when death comes to me, it may be in my town and by the resting-place of my father and mother. But here is your servant Chimham: let him go with my lord the king, and do for him what seems good to you.

bbe@2Samuel:19:38 @And the king said in answer, Let Chimham go over with me, and I will do for him whatever seems good to you: and whatever your desire is, I will do it for you.

bbe@2Samuel:19:41 @Then the men of Israel came to the king and said, Why have our countrymen of Judah taken you away in secret and come over Jordan with the king and all his family, because all his people are David's men?

bbe@2Samuel:19:42 @And all the men of Judah gave this answer to the men of Israel, Because the king is our near relation: why then are you angry about this? have we taken any of the king's food, or has he given us any offering?

bbe@2Samuel:19:43 @And in answer to the men of Judah, the men of Israel said, We have ten parts in the king, and we are the first in order of birth: why did you make nothing of us? and were we not the first to make suggestions for getting the king back? And the words of the men of Judah were more violent than the words of the men of Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:20:1 @Now by chance there was present a good-for-nothing person named Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite: and he, sounding the horn, said, We have no part in David, or any interest in the son of Jesse: let every man go to his tent, O Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:20:2 @So all the men of Israel, turning away from David, went after Sheba, the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah were true to their king, going with him from Jordan as far as Jerusalem.

bbe@2Samuel:20:3 @And David came to his house at Jerusalem: and the king took the ten women to whom he had given the care of the house, and had them shut up, and gave them the necessaries of life, but did not go near them. So they were shut up till the day of their death, living as widows.

bbe@2Samuel:20:4 @Then the king said to Amasa, Get all the men of Judah together, and in three days be here yourself.

bbe@2Samuel:20:5 @So Amasa went to get all the men of Judah together, but he took longer than the time David had given him.

bbe@2Samuel:20:6 @And David said to Abishai, Sheba, the son of Bichri, will do us more damage than Absalom did; so take some of your lord's servants and go after him, before he makes himself safe in the walled towns, and gets away before our eyes.

bbe@2Samuel:20:7 @So there went after Abishai, Joab and the Cherethites and the Pelethites and all the fighting-men; they went out of Jerusalem to overtake Sheba, the son of Bichri.

bbe@2Samuel:20:8 @When they were at the great stone which is in Gibeon, Amasa came face to face with them. Now Joab had on his war-dress, and round him a band from which his sword was hanging in its cover; and while he was walking, it came out, falling to the earth.

bbe@2Samuel:20:10 @But Amasa did not see danger from the sword which was now in Joab's left hand, and Joab put it through his stomach so that his inside came out on to the earth, and he did not give him another blow. So Joab and his brother Abishai went on after Sheba, the son of Bichri.

bbe@2Samuel:20:11 @And one of Joab's young men, taking his place at Amasa's side, said, Whoever is for Joab and for David, let him go after Joab!

bbe@2Samuel:20:14 @And Sheba went through all the tribes of Israel, to Abel of Beth-maacah; and all the Bichrites came together and went in after him.

bbe@2Samuel:20:15 @And Joab and his men got him shut up in Abel of Beth-maacah, and put up an earthwork against the town: and all Joab's men did their best to get the wall broken down.

bbe@2Samuel:20:16 @Then a wise woman got up on the wall, and crying out from the town, said, Give ear, give ear; say now to Joab, Come near, so that I may have talk with you.

bbe@2Samuel:20:17 @And he came near, and the woman said, Are you Joab? And he said in answer, I am. Then she said, Give ear to your servant's words. And he said, I am giving ear.

bbe@2Samuel:20:18 @Then she said, In the old days, there was a saying, Let them put the question in Abel and in Dan, saying, Has what was ordered by men of good faith in Israel ever come to an end?

bbe@2Samuel:20:20 @And Joab, answering her, said, Far, far be it from me to be a cause of death or destruction;

bbe@2Samuel:20:21 @Not so: but a man of the hill-country of Ephraim, Sheba, son of Bichri, by name, has taken up arms against the king, against David: give up this man only, and I will go away from the town. And the woman said to Joab, His head will be dropped over the wall to you.

bbe@2Samuel:21:6 @Let seven men of his family be given up to us and we will put an end to them by hanging them before the Lord in Gibeon, on the hill of the Lord. And the king said, I will give them.

bbe@2Samuel:21:7 @But the king did not give up Mephibosheth, the son of Saul's son Jonathan, because of the Lord's oath made between David and Jonathan, the son of Saul.

bbe@2Samuel:21:8 @But the king took Armoni and Mephibosheth, the two sons of Saul to whom Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, had given birth; and the five sons of Saul's daughter Merab, whose father was Adriel, the son of Barzillai the Meholathite:

bbe@2Samuel:21:9 @And he gave them up to the Gibeonites, and they put them to death, hanging them on the mountain before the Lord; all seven came to their end together in the first days of the grain-cutting, at the start of the cutting of the barley.

bbe@2Samuel:21:10 @And Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, took haircloth, placing it on the rock as a bed for herself, from the start of the grain-cutting till rain came down on them from heaven; and she did not let the birds of the air come near them by day, or the beasts of the field by night.

bbe@2Samuel:21:12 @And David went and took the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan from the men of Jabesh-gilead, who had taken them away secretly from the public place of Beth-shan, where the Philistines had put them, hanging up the bodies there on the day when they put Saul to death in Gilboa:

bbe@2Samuel:21:16 @And there came against David one of the offspring of the Rephaim, whose spear was three hundred shekels of brass in weight, and having a new sword, he made an attempt to put David to death.

bbe@2Samuel:21:17 @But Abishai, the son of Zeruiah, came to his help, and, turning on the Philistine, gave him his death-blow. Then David's men took an oath, and said, Never again are you to go out with us to the fight, so that you may not put out the light of Israel.

bbe@2Samuel:21:21 @And when he was purposing to put shame on Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shimei, David's brother, put him to death.

bbe@2Samuel:21:22 @These four were of the offspring of the Rephaim in Gath; and they came to their end by the hands of David and his servants.

bbe@2Samuel:22:3 @My God, my Rock, in him will I put my faith; my breastplate, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my safe place; my saviour, who keeps me safe from the violent man.

bbe@2Samuel:22:4 @I will send up my cry to the Lord, who is to be praised; so will I be made safe from those who are against me.

bbe@2Samuel:22:5 @For the waves of death came round me, and the seas of evil put me in fear;

bbe@2Samuel:22:6 @The cords of hell were round me: the nets of death came on me.

bbe@2Samuel:22:7 @In my trouble my voice went up to the Lord, and my cry to my God: my voice came to his hearing in his holy Temple, and my prayer came to his ears.

bbe@2Samuel:22:10 @The heavens were bent, so that he might come down; and it was dark under his feet.

bbe@2Samuel:22:15 @And he sent out his arrows, driving them in all directions; by his flames of fire they were troubled.

bbe@2Samuel:22:17 @He sent from on high, he took me, pulling me out of great waters.

bbe@2Samuel:22:18 @He made me free from my strong hater, from those who were against me, because they were stronger than I.

bbe@2Samuel:22:19 @They came on me in the day of my trouble: but the Lord was my support.

bbe@2Samuel:22:20 @He took me out into a wide place; he was my saviour because he had delight in me.

bbe@2Samuel:22:21 @The Lord gives me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean before him.

bbe@2Samuel:22:23 @For all his decisions were before me, and I did not put away his laws from me.

bbe@2Samuel:22:25 @Because of this the Lord has given me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean in his eyes.

bbe@2Samuel:22:26 @On him who has mercy you will have mercy; to the upright you will be upright;

bbe@2Samuel:22:28 @For you are the saviour of those who are in trouble; but your eyes are on men of pride, to make them low.

bbe@2Samuel:22:29 @For you are my light, O Lord; and the Lord will make the dark bright for me.

bbe@2Samuel:22:30 @By your help I have made a way through the wall which was shutting me in: by the help of my God I have gone over a wall.

bbe@2Samuel:22:33 @God puts a strong band about me, guiding me in a straight way.

bbe@2Samuel:22:34 @He makes my feet like roes' feet, and puts me on high places.

bbe@2Samuel:22:36 @You have given me the breastplate of your salvation, and your mercy has made me great.

bbe@2Samuel:22:37 @You have made my steps wide under me, so that my feet make no slip.

bbe@2Samuel:22:38 @I go after my haters and overtake them; not turning back till they are all overcome.

bbe@2Samuel:22:40 @For I have been armed by you with strength for the fight: you have made low under me those who came out against me.

bbe@2Samuel:22:42 @They were crying out, but there was no one to come to their help: even to the Lord, but he gave them no answer.

bbe@2Samuel:22:44 @You have made me free from the fightings of my people; you have made me the head of the nations: a people of whom I had no knowledge will be my servants.

bbe@2Samuel:22:45 @Men of other countries will, with false hearts, put themselves under my authority: from the time when my name comes to their ears, they will be ruled by me.

bbe@2Samuel:22:46 @They will be wasted away, they will come out of their secret places shaking with fear.

bbe@2Samuel:22:48 @It is God who sends punishment on my haters, and puts peoples under my rule.

bbe@2Samuel:22:49 @He makes me free from my haters: I am lifted up over those who come up against me: you have made me free from the violent man.

bbe@2Samuel:22:50 @Because of this I will give you praise, O Lord, among the nations, and will make a song of praise to your name.

bbe@2Samuel:22:51 @Great salvation does he give to his king; he has mercy on the king of his selection, David, and on his seed for ever.

bbe@2Samuel:23:2 @The spirit of the Lord had voice through me, his word was on my tongue.

bbe@2Samuel:23:3 @The God of Israel said, the word of the Rock of Israel came to me: When an upright king is ruling over men, when he is ruling in the fear of God,

bbe@2Samuel:23:4 @It is as the light of the morning, when the sun comes up, a morning without clouds; making young grass come to life from the earth.

bbe@2Samuel:23:5 @For is not my house so with God? For he has made with me an eternal agreement, ordered in all things and certain: as for all my salvation and all my desire, will he not give it increase?

bbe@2Samuel:23:7 @But anyone touching them has to be armed with iron and the rod of a spear; and they will be burned with fire, every one of them.

bbe@2Samuel:23:8 @These are the names of David's men of war: Ishbaal the Hachmonite, chief of the three; his axe was lifted up against eight hundred put to death at one time.

bbe@2Samuel:23:9 @After him was Eleazar, the son of Dodai the Ahohite, one of the three great fighters, who was with David in Pas-dammim when the Philistines came together there for the fight; and when the men of Israel had gone in flight,

bbe@2Samuel:23:10 @He was with David and went on fighting the Philistines till his hand became tired and stiff from gripping his sword: and that day the Lord gave a great salvation, and the people came back after him only to take the goods of the Philistines.

bbe@2Samuel:23:11 @After him was Shammah, the son of Ela the Hararite. And the Philistines came together in Lehi, where there was a bit of land full of seed; and the people went in flight from the Philistines.

bbe@2Samuel:23:12 @But he kept his place in the middle of the bit of land, and kept back their attack and overcame the Philistines: and the Lord gave a great salvation.

bbe@2Samuel:23:13 @And three of the thirty went down at the start of the grain-cutting, and they came to David at the strong place of Adullam; and the band of Philistines had taken up their position in the valley of Rephaim.

bbe@2Samuel:23:14 @And at that time David had taken cover in the strong place, and an armed force of the Philistines was in Beth-lehem.

bbe@2Samuel:23:15 @And David, moved by a strong desire, said, If only someone would give me a drink of water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town!

bbe@2Samuel:23:16 @And the three men, forcing their way through the Philistine army, got water from the water-hole of Beth-lehem, by the doorway into the town, and took it back to David: but he would not take it, but, draining it out, made an offering of it to the Lord.

bbe@2Samuel:23:17 @And he said, Far be it from me, O Lord, to do this; how may I take as my drink the life-blood of men who have put their lives in danger? So he would not take it. These things did the three great men of war.

bbe@2Samuel:23:20 @And Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, a fighting man of Kabzeel, had done great acts; he put to death the two sons of Ariel of Moab: he went down into a hole and put a lion to death in time of snow:

bbe@2Samuel:23:21 @And he made an attack on an Egyptian, a tall man: and the Egyptian had a spear in his hand; but he went down to him with a stick, and pulling the spear out of the hands of the Egyptian, put him to death with that same spear.

bbe@2Samuel:23:22 @These were the acts of Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, who had a great name among the thirty men of war.

bbe@2Samuel:23:23 @He was honoured over the rest of the thirty, but he was not equal to the first three. And David put him over the fighting men who kept him safe.

bbe@2Samuel:23:35 @Hezrai the Carmelite, Paarai the Archite,

bbe@2Samuel:24:3 @And Joab said to the king, Whatever the number of the people, may the Lord make it a hundred times as much, and may the eyes of my lord the king see it: but why does my lord the king take pleasure in doing this thing?

bbe@2Samuel:24:6 @Then they came to Gilead, and to the land of the Hittites under Hermon; and they came to Dan, and from Dan they came round to Zidon,

bbe@2Samuel:24:8 @So after going through all the land in every direction, they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine months and twenty days.

bbe@2Samuel:24:9 @And Joab gave the king the number of all the people: there were in Israel eight hundred thousand fighting men able to take up arms; and the men of Judah were five hundred thousand.

bbe@2Samuel:24:11 @And David got up in the morning; now the word of the Lord had come to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

bbe@2Samuel:24:13 @So Gad came to David, and gave him word of this and said to him, Are there to be three years when there is not enough food in your land? or will you go in flight from your haters for three months, while they go after you? or will you have three days of violent disease in your land? take thought and say what answer I am to give to him who sent me.

bbe@2Samuel:24:14 @And David said to Gad, This is a hard decision for me to make: let us come into the hands of the Lord, for great are his mercies: let me not come into the hands of men.

bbe@2Samuel:24:15 @So David made selection of the disease; and the time was the days of the grain-cutting, when the disease came among the people, causing the death of seventy thousand men from Dan as far as Beer-sheba.

bbe@2Samuel:24:17 @And when David saw the angel who was causing the destruction of the people, he said to the Lord, Truly, the sin is mine; I have done wrong: but these are only sheep; what have they done? let your hand be against me and against my family.

bbe@2Samuel:24:18 @And that day Gad came to David and said to him, Go up, and put up an altar to the Lord on the grain-floor of Araunah the Jebusite.

bbe@2Samuel:24:21 @And Araunah said, Why has my lord the king come to his servant? And David said, To give you a price for your grain-floor, so that I may put up an altar to the Lord, and the disease may be stopped among the people.

bbe@2Samuel:24:22 @And Araunah said to David, Let my lord the king take whatever seems right to him, and make an offering of it: see, here are the oxen for the burned offering, and the grain-cleaning instruments and the ox-yokes for wood:

bbe@2Samuel:24:25 @And there David put up an altar to the Lord, making burned offerings and peace-offerings. So the Lord gave ear to his prayer for the land, and the disease came to an end in Israel.

bbe@1Kings:1:4 @Now she was very beautiful; and she took care of the king, waiting on him at all times; but the king had no connection with her.

bbe@1Kings:1:5 @Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, lifting himself up in pride, said, I will become king; and he made ready his carriages of war and his horsemen, with fifty runners to go before him.

bbe@1Kings:1:8 @But Zadok the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and Nathan the prophet and Shimei and Rei, and David's men of war did not take the side of Adonijah.

bbe@1Kings:1:9 @Then Adonijah put to death sheep and oxen and fat beasts by the stone of Zoheleth, by En-rogel; and he sent for all his brothers, the king's sons, and all the men of Judah, the king's servants, to come to him:

bbe@1Kings:1:10 @But he did not send for Nathan the prophet and Benaiah and the other men of war and Solomon his brother.

bbe@1Kings:1:11 @Then Nathan said to Bath-sheba, the mother of Solomon, Has it not come to your ears that Adonijah, the son of Haggith, has made himself king without the knowledge of David our lord?

bbe@1Kings:1:12 @So now, let me make a suggestion, so that you may keep your life safe and the life of your son Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:1:13 @Come now, go to King David and say to him, Did you not, O my lord, take an oath to me, your servant, saying, Truly Solomon your son will be king after me, seated on the seat of my kingdom? why then is Adonijah acting as king?

bbe@1Kings:1:14 @And while you are still talking there with the king, see, I will come in after you and say that your story is true.

bbe@1Kings:1:17 @And she said to him, My lord, you took an oath by the Lord your God and gave your word to your servant, saying, Truly, Solomon your son will be king after me, seated on the seat of my kingdom.

bbe@1Kings:1:21 @For as things are, it will come about, when my lord the king is sleeping with his fathers, that I and Solomon my son will be made outlaws.

bbe@1Kings:1:22 @And while she was still talking with the king, Nathan the prophet came in.

bbe@1Kings:1:23 @And they said to the king, Here is Nathan the prophet. And when he came in before the king, he went down on his face on the earth.

bbe@1Kings:1:24 @And Nathan said, O my lord king, have you said, Adonijah is to be king after me, seated on the seat of my kingdom?

bbe@1Kings:1:25 @Because today he has gone down and has put to death oxen and fat beasts and sheep in great numbers, and has sent for all the king's sons to come to him, with the captains of the army and Abiathar the priest; and they are feasting before him and crying, Long life to King Adonijah!

bbe@1Kings:1:26 @But me, your servant, and Zadok the priest, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada, and your servant Solomon, he has not sent for.

bbe@1Kings:1:28 @Then King David in answer said, Send for Bath-sheba to come to me. And she came in and took her place before the king.

bbe@1Kings:1:30 @As I took an oath to you by the Lord, the God of Israel, saying, Certainly Solomon your son will become king after me, seated on my seat in my place; so will I do this day.

bbe@1Kings:1:32 @And King David said, Send for Zadok the priest, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, the son of Jehoiada. And they came before the king.

bbe@1Kings:1:35 @Then come up after him and he will come in and take his place on the seat of my kingdom; for he is to be king in my place, and I have given orders that he is to be ruler over Israel and over Judah.

bbe@1Kings:1:40 @And all the people came up after him, piping with pipes, and they were glad with great joy, so that the earth was shaking with the sound.

bbe@1Kings:1:41 @And it came to the ears of Adonijah and all the guests who were with him, when their meal was ended. And Joab, hearing the sound of the horn, said, What is the reason of this noise as if the town was worked up?

bbe@1Kings:1:42 @And while the words were on his lips, Jonathan, the son of Abiathar the priest, came; and Adonijah said, Come in; for you are a man of good faith and the news which you have for us will be good.

bbe@1Kings:1:45 @And Zadok the priest and Nathan the prophet put the holy oil on him and made him king in Gihon; and they came back from there with joy, and the town was all worked up. This is the noise which has come to your ears.

bbe@1Kings:1:47 @And the king's servants came to our lord King David, blessing him and saying, May God make the name of Solomon better than your name, and the seat of his authority greater than your seat; and the king was bent low in worship on his bed.

bbe@1Kings:1:51 @And they gave Solomon word of it, saying, See, Adonijah goes in such fear of King Solomon, that he has put his hands on the horns of the altar, saying, Let King Solomon first give me his oath that he will not put his servant to death with the sword.

bbe@1Kings:1:53 @So King Solomon sent, and they took him down from the altar. And he came and gave honour to King Solomon; and Solomon said to him, Go to your house.

bbe@1Kings:2:1 @Now the time of David's death came near; and he gave orders to Solomon his son, saying,

bbe@1Kings:2:4 @So that the Lord may give effect to what he said of me, If your children give attention to their ways, living uprightly before me with all their heart and their soul, you will never be without a man to be king in Israel.

bbe@1Kings:2:5 @Now you have knowledge of what Joab, the son of Zeruiah, did to me, and to the two captains of the army of Israel, Abner, the son of Ner, and Amasa, the son of Jether, whom he put to death, taking payment for the blood of war in time of peace, and making the band of my clothing and the shoes on my feet red with the blood of one put to death without cause.

bbe@1Kings:2:7 @But be good to the sons of Barzillai the Gileadite, and let them be guests at your table; for so they came to me when I went in flight from Absalom your brother.

bbe@1Kings:2:8 @Now you have with you Shimei, the son of Gera the Benjamite of Bahurim, who put a bitter curse on me on the day when I went to Mahanaim; but he came down to see me at Jordan, and I gave him my oath by the Lord, saying, I will not put you to death by the sword.

bbe@1Kings:2:9 @But do not let him be free from punishment, for you are a wise man; and it will be clear to you what you have to do with him; see that his white head goes down to the underworld in blood.

bbe@1Kings:2:13 @Then Adonijah, the son of Haggith, came to Bath-sheba, the mother of Solomon. And she said, Come you in peace? And he said, Yes, in peace.

bbe@1Kings:2:14 @Then he said, I have something to say to you. And she said, Say on.

bbe@1Kings:2:15 @And he said, You saw how the kingdom was mine, and all Israel had the idea that I would be their king; but now the kingdom is turned about, and has become my brother's, for it was given to him by the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:2:16 @Now I have one request to make to you, and do not say, No, to me. And she said to him, Say on.

bbe@1Kings:2:17 @Then he said, Will you go to Solomon the king (for he will not say, No, to you) and put before him my request that he will give me Abishag the Shunammite for a wife?

bbe@1Kings:2:19 @So Bath-sheba went to King Solomon to have talk with him on Adonijah's account. And the king got up to come to her, and went down low to the earth before her; then he took his place on the king's seat and had a seat made ready for the king's mother and she took her place at his right hand.

bbe@1Kings:2:20 @Then she said, I have one small request to make to you; do not say, No, to me. And the king said, Say on, my mother, for I will not say, No, to you.

bbe@1Kings:2:22 @Then King Solomon made answer and said to his mother, Why are you requesting me to give Abishag the Shunammite to Adonijah? Take the kingdom for him in addition, for he is my older brother, and Abiathar the priest and Joab, the son of Zeruiah, are on his side.

bbe@1Kings:2:23 @Then King Solomon took an oath by the Lord, saying, May God's punishment be on me if Adonijah does not give payment for these words with his life.

bbe@1Kings:2:24 @Now by the living Lord, who has given me my place on the seat of David my father, and made me one of a line of kings, as he gave me his word, truly Adonijah will be put to death this day.

bbe@1Kings:2:27 @So Solomon let Abiathar be priest no longer, so that he might make the word of the Lord come true which he said about the sons of Eli in Shiloh.

bbe@1Kings:2:28 @And news of this came to Joab; for Joab had been one of Adonijah's supporters, though he had not been on Absalom's side. Then Joab went in flight to the Tent of the Lord, and put his hands on the horns of the altar.

bbe@1Kings:2:30 @And Benaiah came to the Tent of the Lord and said to him, The king says, Come out. And he said, No; but let death come to me here. And Benaiah went back to the king and gave him word of the answer which Joab had given.

bbe@1Kings:2:31 @And the king said, Do as he has said and make an attack on him there, and put his body into the earth; so that you may take away from me and from my family the blood of one put to death by Joab without cause.

bbe@1Kings:2:32 @And the Lord will send back his blood on his head, because of the attack he made on two men more upright and better than himself, putting them to the sword without my father's knowledge; even Abner, the son of Ner, captain of the army of Israel, and Amasa, the son of Jether, captain of the army of Judah.

bbe@1Kings:2:36 @Then the king sent for Shimei, and said to him, Make a house for yourself in Jerusalem and keep there and go to no other place.

bbe@1Kings:2:38 @And Shimei said to the king, Very well! as my lord the king has said, so will your servant do. And for a long time Shimei went on living in Jerusalem.

bbe@1Kings:2:39 @But after three years, two of the servants of Shimei went in flight to Achish, son of Maacah, king of Gath. And word was given to Shimei that his servants had gone to Gath.

bbe@1Kings:2:40 @Then Shimei got up, and making ready his ass, he went to Gath, to Achish, in search of his servants; and he sent and got them from Gath.

bbe@1Kings:2:41 @And news was given to Solomon that Shimei had gone from Jerusalem to Gath and had come back again.

bbe@1Kings:2:42 @Then the king sent for Shimei, and said to him, Did I not make you take an oath by the Lord, protesting to you and saying, Be certain that on the day when you go out from here, wherever you go, death will overtake you? and you said to me, Very well!

bbe@1Kings:2:44 @And the king said to Shimei, You have knowledge of all the evil which you did to David my father; and now the Lord has sent back your evil on yourself.

bbe@1Kings:3:1 @Solomon became the son-in-law of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter as his wife, keeping her in the town of David, till the house he was building for himself, and the house of the Lord and the wall round Jerusalem, were complete.

bbe@1Kings:3:2 @But all this time the people were making their offerings in the high places, because no house had been put up to the name of the Lord till those days.

bbe@1Kings:3:6 @And Solomon said, Great was your mercy to David my father, as his life before you was true and upright and his heart was true to you; and you have kept for him this greatest mercy, a son to take his place this day.

bbe@1Kings:3:7 @And now, O Lord my God, you have made your servant king in the place of David my father; and I am only a young boy, with no knowledge of how to go out or come in.

bbe@1Kings:3:15 @And Solomon, awakening, saw that it was a dream; then he came to Jerusalem, where he went before the ark of the agreement of the Lord, offering burned offerings and peace-offerings; and he made a feast for all his servants.

bbe@1Kings:3:16 @Then two loose women of the town came and took their places before the king;

bbe@1Kings:3:17 @And one of them said, O my lord, I and this woman are living in the same house; and I gave birth to a child by her side in the house.

bbe@1Kings:3:24 @Then he said, Get me a sword. So they went and put a sword before the king.

bbe@1Kings:3:26 @Then the mother of the living child came forward, for her heart went out to her son, and she said, O my lord, give her the child; do not on any account put it to death. But the other woman said, It will not be mine or yours; let it be cut in two.

bbe@1Kings:4:2 @And these were his chief men: Azariah, the son of Zadok, was the priest;

bbe@1Kings:4:8 @And these are their names:... the son of Hur in the hill country of Ephraim;

bbe@1Kings:4:9 @... the son of Deker in Makaz and Shaalbim and Beth-shemesh and Elonbeth-hanan;

bbe@1Kings:4:12 @Baana, the son of Ahilud, in Taanach and Megiddo, and all Beth-shean which is by the side of Zarethan, under Jezreel, from Beth-shean to Abel-meholah, as far as the far side of Jokmeam;

bbe@1Kings:4:18 @Shimei, the son of Ela, in Benjamin;

bbe@1Kings:4:21 @And Solomon was ruler over all the kingdoms from the River to the land of the Philistines, and as far as the edge of Egypt; men gave him offerings and were his servants all the days of his life.

bbe@1Kings:4:22 @And the amount of Solomon's food for one day was thirty measures of crushed grain and sixty measures of meal;

bbe@1Kings:4:26 @And Solomon had four thousand boxed-off spaces for horses for his carriages, and twelve thousand horsemen.

bbe@1Kings:4:31 @For he was wiser than all men, even than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman and Calcol and Darda, the sons of Mahol; and he had a great name among all the nations round about.

bbe@1Kings:4:34 @People came from every nation to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon, from all the kings of the earth who had word of his wisdom.

bbe@1Kings:5:3 @You have knowledge that David my father was not able to make a house for the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars which were round him on every side, till the Lord put all those who were against him under his feet.

bbe@1Kings:5:4 @But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side; no one is making trouble, and no evil is taking place.

bbe@1Kings:5:5 @And so it is my purpose to make a house for the name of the Lord my God, as he said to David my father, Your son, whom I will make king in your place, will be the builder of a house for my name.

bbe@1Kings:5:6 @So now, will you have cedar-trees from Lebanon cut down for me, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you payment for your servants at whatever rate you say; for it is common knowledge that we have no such wood-cutters among us as the men of Zidon.

bbe@1Kings:5:8 @Then Hiram sent to Solomon, saying; The words you sent have been given to me: I will do all your desire in the question of cedar-wood and cypress-wood.

bbe@1Kings:5:9 @My men will take them down from Lebanon to the sea, where I will have them corded together to go by sea to whatever place you say, and I will have them cut up there so that you may take them away; as for payment, it will be enough if you give me food for my people.

bbe@1Kings:5:11 @And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of grain, as food for his people, and twenty measures of clear oil; this he did every year.

bbe@1Kings:5:12 @Now the Lord had given Solomon wisdom, as he had said to him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they made an agreement together

bbe@1Kings:5:13 @Then King Solomon got together men for the forced work through all Israel, thirty thousand men in number;

bbe@1Kings:5:16 @In addition to the chiefs of the responsible men put by Solomon to oversee the work, three thousand and three hundred in authority over the workmen.

bbe@1Kings:6:1 @In the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year that Solomon was king of Israel, in the month Ziv, which is the second month, the building of the Lord's house was started.

bbe@1Kings:6:7 @(And the stones used in the building of the house were squared at the place where they were cut out; there was no sound of hammer or axe or any iron instrument while they were building the house.)

bbe@1Kings:6:11 @(And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, saying,

bbe@1Kings:6:18 @(All the inside of the house was cedar-wood, ornamented with designs of buds and flowers; no stonework was to be seen inside.)

bbe@1Kings:6:19 @And he made ready an inmost room in the middle of the house, in which to put the ark of the agreement of the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:6:25 @The two winged ones were ten cubits high, of the same size and form.

bbe@1Kings:6:29 @And all the walls of the house inside and out were ornamented with forms of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers.

bbe@1Kings:6:35 @These were ornamented with designs of winged ones and palm-trees and open flowers, plated over with gold.

bbe@1Kings:7:4 @There were three lines of window-frames, window facing window in every line.

bbe@1Kings:7:5 @And all the doors and windows had square frames, with the windows facing one another in three lines.

bbe@1Kings:7:8 @And the house for his living-place, the other open square in the covered room, was made in the same way. And then he made a house like it for Pharaoh's daughter, whom Solomon had taken as his wife.

bbe@1Kings:7:9 @All these buildings were made, inside and out, from base to crowning stone, and outside to the great walled square, of highly priced stone, cut to different sizes with cutting-instruments.

bbe@1Kings:7:10 @And the base was of great masses of highly priced stone, some ten cubits and some eight cubits square.

bbe@1Kings:7:11 @Overhead were highly priced stones cut to measure, and cedar-wood.

bbe@1Kings:7:14 @He was the son of a widow of the tribe of Naphtali, and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brass; he was full of wisdom and knowledge and an expert worker in brass. He came to King Solomon and did all his work for him.

bbe@1Kings:7:15 @He it was who made the two brass pillars; the first pillar was eighteen cubits high, and a line of twelve cubits went round it; and the second was the same.

bbe@1Kings:7:18 @And he made ornaments of apples; and two lines of apples all round over the network, covering the crowns of the pillars, the two crowns in the same way.

bbe@1Kings:7:19 @The crowns on the tops of the pillars were ornamented with a design of flowers, and were four cubits across.

bbe@1Kings:7:23 @And he made a great metal water-vessel ten cubits across from edge to edge, five cubits high and thirty cubits round.

bbe@1Kings:7:24 @And under the edge of it, circling it all round for ten cubits, were two lines of flower buds, made together with it from liquid metal.

bbe@1Kings:7:28 @And the bases were made in this way; their sides were square, fixed in a framework;

bbe@1Kings:7:29 @And on the square sides between the frames were lions, oxen, and winged ones; and the same on the frame; and over and under the lions and the oxen and the winged ones were steps.

bbe@1Kings:7:30 @Every base had four wheels of brass, turning on brass rods, and their four angles had angle-plates under them; the angle-plates under the base were of metal, and there were ornaments at the side of every one.

bbe@1Kings:7:32 @The four wheels were under the frames, and the rods on which the wheels were fixed were in the base; the wheels were a cubit and a half high.

bbe@1Kings:7:33 @The wheels were made like carriage-wheels, the rods on which they were fixed, the parts forming their edges, their rods and the middle points of them, were all formed out of liquid metal.

bbe@1Kings:7:36 @In the spaces of the flat sides and on the frames of them, he made designs of winged ones, lions, and palm-trees, with ornamented edges all round.

bbe@1Kings:7:37 @All the ten bases were made in this way, after the same design, of the same size and form.

bbe@1Kings:7:38 @And he made ten brass washing-vessels, everyone taking forty baths, and measuring four cubits; one vessel was placed on every one of the ten bases.

bbe@1Kings:7:40 @And Hiram made the pots and spades and the basins. So Hiram came to the end of all the work he did for King Solomon in the house of the Lord:

bbe@1Kings:7:46 @He made them of liquid metal in the lowland of Jordan, at the way across the river, at Adama, between Succoth and Zarethan.

bbe@1Kings:7:47 @The weight of all these vessels was not measured, because there was such a number of them; it was not possible to get the weight of the brass.

bbe@1Kings:7:49 @And the supports for the lights, five on the right side and five on the left before the inmost room, of clear gold; and the flowers and the lights and all the instruments of gold;

bbe@1Kings:8:1 @Then Solomon sent for all the responsible men of Israel, and all the chiefs of the tribes, and the heads of families of the children of Israel, to come to him in Jerusalem to take the ark of the Lord's agreement up out of the town of David, which is Zion.

bbe@1Kings:8:2 @And all the men of Israel came together to King Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, the seventh month.

bbe@1Kings:8:3 @And all the responsible men of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.

bbe@1Kings:8:4 @They took up the ark of the Lord, and the Tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels which were in the Tent; all these the priests and the Levites took up.

bbe@1Kings:8:5 @And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there, were with him before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.

bbe@1Kings:8:6 @And the priests took the ark of the agreement of the Lord and put it in its place in the inner room of the house, in the most holy place, under the wings of the winged ones.

bbe@1Kings:8:9 @There was nothing in the ark but the two flat stones which Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made an agreement with the children of Israel when they came out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@1Kings:8:10 @Now when the priests had come out of the holy place, the house of the Lord was full of the cloud,

bbe@1Kings:8:12 @Then Solomon said, O Lord, to the sun you have given the heaven for a living-place, but your living-place was not seen by men;

bbe@1Kings:8:14 @Then, turning his face about, the king gave a blessing to all the men of Israel; and they were all on their feet together.

bbe@1Kings:8:15 @And he said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who himself gave his word to David my father, and with his strong hand has made his word come true, saying,

bbe@1Kings:8:16 @From the day when I took my people Israel out of Egypt, no town in all the tribes of Israel has been marked out by me for the building of a house for the resting-place of my name; but I made selection of David to be king over my people Israel.

bbe@1Kings:8:17 @Now it was in the heart of David my father to put up a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@1Kings:8:18 @But the Lord said to David my father, You did well to have in your heart the desire to make a house for my name;

bbe@1Kings:8:19 @But you yourself will not be the builder of my house; but your son, the offspring of your body, he it is who will put up a house for my name.

bbe@1Kings:8:20 @And the Lord has made his word come true; for I have taken my father David's place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel, as the Lord gave his word; and I have made a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@1Kings:8:21 @In it I have made a place for the ark, in which is the agreement which the Lord made with our fathers, when he took them out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@1Kings:8:22 @Then Solomon took his place before the altar of the Lord, all the men of Israel being present, and stretching out his hands to heaven,

bbe@1Kings:8:23 @Said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on the earth; keeping faith and mercy unchanging for your servants, while they go in your ways with all their hearts.

bbe@1Kings:8:24 @And you have kept the word which you gave to your servant David, my father; with your mouth you said it and with your hand you have made it come true this day.

bbe@1Kings:8:25 @So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, let your word to your servant David, my father, come true, when you said, You will never be without a man to take his place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel before me, if only your children give attention to their ways, walking before me as you have done.

bbe@1Kings:8:26 @So now, O God of Israel, it is my prayer that you will make your word come true which you said to your servant David, my father.

bbe@1Kings:8:29 @That your eyes may be open to this house night and day, to this place of which you have said, My name will be there; hearing the prayer which your servant may make, turning to this place.

bbe@1Kings:8:30 @Give ear to the prayers of your servant, and the prayers of your people Israel, when they make their prayers, turning to this place; give ear in heaven your living-place, and hearing, have mercy.

bbe@1Kings:8:31 @If a man does wrong to his neighbour, and has to take an oath, and comes before your altar to take his oath in this house:

bbe@1Kings:8:32 @Then let your ear be open in heaven, and be the judge of your servants, giving your decision against the wrongdoer, so that punishment for his sins may come on his head; and, by your decision, keeping from evil him who has done no wrong.

bbe@1Kings:8:33 @When your people Israel are overcome in war, because of their sin against you; if they are turned to you again, honouring your name, making prayers to you and requesting your grace in this house:

bbe@1Kings:8:35 @When heaven is shut up and there is no rain, because of their sin against you; if they make prayers with their faces turned to this place, honouring your name and turning away from their sin when you send trouble on them:

bbe@1Kings:8:39 @Give ear in heaven your living-place, acting in mercy; and give to every man whose secret heart is open to you, the reward of all his ways; for you, and you only, have knowledge of the hearts of all the children of men:

bbe@1Kings:8:41 @And as for the man from a strange land, who is not of your people Israel; when he comes from a far country because of the glory of your name:

bbe@1Kings:8:42 @(For they will have news of your great name and your strong hand and your out-stretched arm;) when he comes to make his prayer, turning to this house:

bbe@1Kings:8:43 @Give ear in heaven your living-place, and give him his desire, whatever it may be; so that all the peoples of the earth may have knowledge of your name, worshipping you as do your people Israel, and that they may see that this house which I have put up is truly named by your name.

bbe@1Kings:8:44 @If your people go out to war against their attackers, by whatever way you may send them, if they make their prayer to the Lord, turning their faces to this town of yours and to this house which I have made for your name:

bbe@1Kings:8:48 @And with all their heart and soul are turned again to you, in the land of those who took them prisoners, and make their prayer to you, turning their eyes to this land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I made for your name:

bbe@1Kings:8:52 @Let your eyes be open to your servant's prayer for grace and to the prayer of your people Israel, hearing them when their cry comes to you.

bbe@1Kings:8:55 @And, getting on his feet, he gave a blessing to all the men of Israel, saying with a loud voice,

bbe@1Kings:8:56 @Praise be to the Lord who has given rest to his people Israel, as he gave them his word to do; every word of all his oath, which he gave by the hand of Moses his servant, has come true.

bbe@1Kings:8:64 @The same day the king made holy the middle of the open square in front of the house of the Lord, offering there the burned offering and the meal offering and the fat of the peace-offerings; for there was not room on the brass altar of the Lord for the burned offerings and the meal offerings and the fat of the peace-offerings.

bbe@1Kings:8:65 @So Solomon and all Israel with him, a very great meeting, (for the people had come together from the way into Hamath to the river of Egypt,) kept the feast at that time before the Lord our God, for two weeks, even fourteen days.

bbe@1Kings:9:1 @Now when Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house, and all Solomon's desires, which he had in mind were effected;

bbe@1Kings:9:2 @The Lord came to him again in a vision, as he had done at Gibeon;

bbe@1Kings:9:3 @And the Lord said to him, Your prayers and your requests for grace have come to my ears: I have made holy this house which you have made, and I have put my name there for ever; my eyes and my heart will be there at all times.

bbe@1Kings:9:4 @As for you, if you will go on your way before me, as David your father did, uprightly and with a true heart, doing what I have given you orders to do, keeping my laws and my decisions;

bbe@1Kings:9:7 @Then I will have Israel cut off from the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for myself, I will put away from before my eyes; and Israel will be a public example, and a word of shame among all peoples.

bbe@1Kings:9:8 @And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder at it and make whistling sounds; and they will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?

bbe@1Kings:9:9 @And their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord their God, who took their fathers out of the land of Egypt; they took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why the Lord has sent all this evil on them.

bbe@1Kings:9:10 @Now at the end of twenty years, in which time Solomon had put up the two houses, the house of the Lord and the king's house,

bbe@1Kings:9:12 @But when Hiram came from Tyre to see the towns which Solomon had given him, he was not pleased with them.

bbe@1Kings:9:13 @And he said, What sort of towns are these which you have given me, my brother? So they were named the land of Cabul, to this day.

bbe@1Kings:9:15 @Now, this was the way of Solomon's system of forced work for the building of the Lord's house and of the king's house, and the Millo and the wall of Jerusalem and Megiddo and Gezer....

bbe@1Kings:9:16 @Pharaoh, king of Egypt, came and took Gezer, burning it down and putting to death the Canaanites living in the town, and he gave it for a bride-offering to his daughter, Solomon's wife....

bbe@1Kings:9:19 @And all the store-towns and the towns which Solomon had for his war-carriages and for his horsemen, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.

bbe@1Kings:9:22 @But Solomon did not put the children of Israel to forced work; they were the men of war, his servants, his captains, and his chiefs, captains of his war-carriages and of his horsemen.

bbe@1Kings:9:24 @At that time Solomon made Pharaoh's daughter come up from the town of David to the house which he had made for her: then he made the Millo.

bbe@1Kings:9:25 @Three times in the year it was Solomon's way to give burned offerings and peace-offerings on the altar he had made to the Lord, causing his fire-offering to go up on the altar before the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:9:27 @Hiram sent his servants, who were experienced seamen, in the sea-force with Solomon's men.

bbe@1Kings:9:28 @And they came to Ophir, where they got four hundred and twenty talents of gold, and took it back to King Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:10:1 @Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions.

bbe@1Kings:10:2 @And she came to Jerusalem with a very great train, with camels weighted down with spices, and stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.

bbe@1Kings:10:6 @And she said to the king, The account which was given to me in my country of your acts and your wisdom was true.

bbe@1Kings:10:7 @But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and now I see that it was not half the story; your wisdom and your wealth are much greater than they said.

bbe@1Kings:10:11 @And the sea-force of Hiram, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with much sandal-wood and jewels.

bbe@1Kings:10:12 @And from the sandal-wood the king made pillars for the house of the Lord, and for the king's house, and instruments of music for the makers of melody: never has such sandal-wood been seen to this day.

bbe@1Kings:10:14 @Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;

bbe@1Kings:10:15 @In addition to what came to him from the business of the traders, and from all the kings of the Arabians, and from the rulers of the country.

bbe@1Kings:10:16 @And Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.

bbe@1Kings:10:17 @And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, with three pounds of gold in every cover: and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.

bbe@1Kings:10:22 @For the king had Tarshish-ships at sea with the ships of Hiram; once every three years the Tarshish-ships came with gold and silver and ivory and monkeys and peacocks.

bbe@1Kings:10:24 @And from all over the earth they came to see Solomon and to give ear to his wisdom, which God had put in his heart.

bbe@1Kings:10:25 @And everyone took with him an offering, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and robes, and coats of metal, and spices, and horses, and beasts of transport, regularly year by year.

bbe@1Kings:10:26 @And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.

bbe@1Kings:10:28 @And Solomon's horses came from Egypt and from Kue; the king's traders got them at a price from Kue.

bbe@1Kings:10:29 @A war-carriage might be got from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; they got them at the same rate for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.

bbe@1Kings:11:1 @Now a number of strange women were loved by Solomon, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:

bbe@1Kings:11:4 @For it came about that when Solomon was old, his heart was turned away to other gods by his wives; and his heart was no longer true to the Lord his God as the heart of his father David had been.

bbe@1Kings:11:8 @And so he did for all his strange wives, who made offerings with burning of perfumes to their gods.

bbe@1Kings:11:9 @And the Lord was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned away from the Lord, the God of Israel, who had twice come to him in a vision;

bbe@1Kings:11:11 @So the Lord said to Solomon, Because you have done this, and have not kept my agreement and my laws, which I gave you, I will take the kingdom away from you by force and will give it to your servant

bbe@1Kings:11:12 @I will not do it in your life-time, because of your father David, but I will take it from your son.

bbe@1Kings:11:18 @And they went on from Midian and came to Paran; and, taking men from Paran with them, they came to Egypt, to Pharaoh, king of Egypt, who gave him a house and gave orders for his food and gave him land.

bbe@1Kings:11:21 @Now when Hadad had news in Egypt that David had been put to rest with his fathers, and that Joab, the captain of the army, was dead, he said to Pharaoh, Send me back to my country.

bbe@1Kings:11:22 @But Pharaoh said to him, What have you been short of while you have been with me, that you are desiring to go back to your country? And he said, Nothing; but even so, send me back.

bbe@1Kings:11:24 @He got some men together and made himself captain of a band of outlaws; and went to Damascus and became king there.

bbe@1Kings:11:27 @The way in which his hand came to be lifted up against the king was this: Solomon was building the Millo and making good the damaged parts of the town of his father David;

bbe@1Kings:11:29 @Now at that time, when Jeroboam was going out of Jerusalem, the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite came across him on the road; now Ahijah had put on a new robe; and the two of them were by themselves in the open country.

bbe@1Kings:11:33 @Because they are turned away from me to the worship of Ashtoreth, the goddess of the Zidonians, and Chemosh, the god of Moab, and Milcom, the god of the Ammonites; they have not been walking in my ways or doing what is right in my eyes or keeping my laws and my decisions as his father David did.

bbe@1Kings:11:36 @And one tribe I will give to his son, so that David my servant may have a light for ever burning before me in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine to put my name there.

bbe@1Kings:11:42 @And the time Solomon was king in Jerusalem over all Israel was forty years.

bbe@1Kings:11:43 @And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Solomon went to rest with his fathers and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:12:1 @And Rehoboam went to Shechem, where all Israel had come together to make him king,

bbe@1Kings:12:2 @And, hearing of it, Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who was still in Egypt, where he had gone in flight from Solomon, and was living there, came back to his town Zeredah, in the hill-country of Ephraim;

bbe@1Kings:12:3 @And all the men of Israel came to Rehoboam and said,

bbe@1Kings:12:5 @And he said to them, Go away for three days and then come back to me again. So the people went away.

bbe@1Kings:12:6 @Then King Rehoboam took the opinion of the old men who had been with Solomon his father when he was living, and said, In your opinion, what answer am I to give to this people?

bbe@1Kings:12:8 @But he gave no attention to the opinion of the old men, and went to the young men of his generation who were waiting before him:

bbe@1Kings:12:9 @And said to them, What is your opinion? What answer are we to give to this people who have said to me, Make less the weight of the yoke which your father put on us?

bbe@1Kings:12:10 @And the young men of his generation said to him, This is the answer to give to the people who came to you saying, Your father put a hard yoke on us; will you make it less? say to them, My little finger is thicker than my father's body;

bbe@1Kings:12:11 @If my father put a hard yoke on you, I will make it harder: my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give you blows with snakes.

bbe@1Kings:12:12 @So all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had given orders, saying, Come back to me the third day.

bbe@1Kings:12:13 @And the king gave them a rough answer, giving no attention to the suggestion of the old men;

bbe@1Kings:12:14 @But giving them the answer put forward by the young men, saying, My father made your yoke hard, but I will make it harder; my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give it with snakes.

bbe@1Kings:12:15 @So the king did not give ear to the people; and this came about by the purpose of the Lord, so that what he had said by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam, son of Nebat, might be effected.

bbe@1Kings:12:20 @Now when all Israel had news that Jeroboam had come back, they sent for him to come before the meeting of the people, and made him king over Israel: not one of them was joined to the family of David but only the tribe of Judah.

bbe@1Kings:12:21 @When Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, he got together all the men of Judah and the tribe of Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand of his best fighting-men, to make war against Israel and get the kingdom back for Rehoboam, the son of Solomon.

bbe@1Kings:12:22 @But the word of God came to Shemaiah, the man of God, saying,

bbe@1Kings:12:23 @Say to Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, king of Judah, and to all the men of Judah and Benjamin and the rest of the people:

bbe@1Kings:12:25 @Then Jeroboam made the town of Shechem in the hill-country of Ephraim a strong place, and was living there; and from there he went out and did the same to Penuel.

bbe@1Kings:12:27 @If the people go up to make offerings in the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, their heart will be turned again to their lord, to Rehoboam, king of Judah; and they will put me to death and go back to Rehoboam, king of Judah.

bbe@1Kings:12:30 @And this became a sin in Israel; for the people went to give worship to the one at Beth-el, and to the other at Dan.

bbe@1Kings:12:32 @And Jeroboam gave orders for a feast in the eighth month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like the feast which is kept in Judah, and he went up to the altar. And in the same way, in Beth-el, he gave offerings to the oxen which he had made, placing in Beth-el the priests of the high places he had made.

bbe@1Kings:13:1 @Then a man of God came from Judah by the order of the Lord to Beth-el, where Jeroboam was by the altar, burning offerings.

bbe@1Kings:13:2 @And by the order of the Lord he made an outcry against the altar, saying, O altar, altar, the Lord has said, From the seed of David will come a child, named Josiah, and on you he will put to death the priests of the high places, who are burning offerings on you, and men's bones will be burned on you.

bbe@1Kings:13:3 @The same day he gave them a sign, saying, This is the sign which the Lord has given: See, the altar will be broken and the burned waste on it overturned.

bbe@1Kings:13:4 @Then the king, hearing the man of God crying out against the altar at Beth-el, put out his hand from the altar, saying, Take him prisoner. And his hand, stretched out against him, became dead, and he had no power of pulling it back.

bbe@1Kings:13:6 @Then the king made answer and said to the man of God, Make a prayer now for the grace of the Lord your God, and for me, that my hand may be made well. And in answer to the prayer of the man of God, the king's hand was made well again, as it was before.

bbe@1Kings:13:7 @And the king said to the man of God, Come with me to my house for food and rest, and I will give you a reward.

bbe@1Kings:13:8 @But the man of God said to the king, Even if you gave me half of all you have, I would not go in with you, and I would not take food or a drink of water in this place;

bbe@1Kings:13:9 @For so I was ordered by the word of the Lord, who said, You are not to take food or a drink of water, and you are not to go back the way you came.

bbe@1Kings:13:10 @So he went another way, and not by the way he came to Beth-el.

bbe@1Kings:13:11 @Now there was an old prophet living in Beth-el; and one of his sons came and gave him word of all the man of God had done that day in Beth-el, and they gave their father an account of the words he had said to the king.

bbe@1Kings:13:12 @Then their father said to them, Which way did he go? Now his sons had seen which way the man of God who came from Judah had gone.

bbe@1Kings:13:13 @So the prophet said to his sons, Make ready an ass for me. So they made an ass ready, and he got on it,

bbe@1Kings:13:14 @And went after the man of God, and came up with him while he was seated under an oak-tree. And he said to him, Are you the man of God who came from Judah? And he said, I am.

bbe@1Kings:13:15 @Then he said to him, Come back to the house with me and have a meal

bbe@1Kings:13:17 @For the Lord said to me, You are not to take food or water there, or go back again by the way you came.

bbe@1Kings:13:18 @Then he said to him, I am a prophet like you; and an angel said to me by the word of the Lord, Take him back with you and give him food and water. But he said false words to him.

bbe@1Kings:13:19 @So he went back with him, and had a meal in his house and a drink of water.

bbe@1Kings:13:20 @But while they were seated at the table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had taken him back;

bbe@1Kings:13:21 @And crying out to the man of God who came from Judah, he said, The Lord says, Because you have gone against the voice of the Lord, and have not done as you were ordered by the Lord,

bbe@1Kings:13:22 @But have come back, and have taken food and water in this place where he said you were to take no food or water; your dead body will not be put to rest with your fathers.

bbe@1Kings:13:23 @Now after the meal he made ready the ass for him, for the prophet whom he had taken back.

bbe@1Kings:13:24 @And he went on his way; but on the road a lion came rushing at him and put him to death; and his dead body was stretched in the road with the ass by its side, and the lion was there by the body.

bbe@1Kings:13:25 @And some men, going by, saw the body stretched out in the road with the lion by its side; and they came and gave news of it in the town where the old prophet was living.

bbe@1Kings:13:26 @Then the prophet who had made him come back, hearing it, said, It is the man of God, who went against the word of the Lord; that is why the Lord has given him to the lion to be wounded to death, as the Lord said.

bbe@1Kings:13:27 @And he said to his sons, Make ready the ass for me. And they did so.

bbe@1Kings:13:29 @Then the prophet took up the body of the man of God and put it on the ass and took it back; and he came to the town to put the body to rest with weeping.

bbe@1Kings:13:31 @And when he had put it to rest, he said to his sons, When I am dead, then you are to put my body into the earth with the body of this man of God, and put me by his bones so that my bones may be kept safe with his bones.

bbe@1Kings:13:32 @For the outcry he made by the word of the Lord against the altar in Beth-el and against all the houses of the high places in the towns of Samaria, will certainly come about.

bbe@1Kings:13:34 @And this became a sin in the family of Jeroboam, causing it to be cut off and sent to destruction from the face of the earth.

bbe@1Kings:14:1 @At that time Abijah, the son of Jeroboam, became ill.

bbe@1Kings:14:2 @And Jeroboam said to his wife, Now come, put on different clothing so that you may not seem to be the wife of Jeroboam, and go to Shiloh; see, Ahijah is there, the prophet who said I would be king over this people.

bbe@1Kings:14:3 @And take with you ten cakes of bread and dry cakes and a pot of honey, and go to him: he will give you word of what is to become of the child.

bbe@1Kings:14:4 @So Jeroboam's wife did so, and got up and went to Shiloh and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah was unable to see, because he was very old.

bbe@1Kings:14:6 @Then Ahijah, hearing the sound of her footsteps coming in at the door, said, Come in, O wife of Jeroboam; why do you make yourself seem like another? for I am sent to you with bitter news.

bbe@1Kings:14:8 @And took the kingdom away by force from the seed of David and gave it to you, you have not been like my servant David, who kept my orders, and was true to me with all his heart, doing only what was right in my eyes.

bbe@1Kings:14:9 @But you have done evil more than any before you, and have made for yourself other gods, and images of metal, moving me to wrath, and turning your back on me.

bbe@1Kings:14:11 @Those of the family of Jeroboam who come to death in the town, will become food for the dogs; and those on whom death comes in the open country, will be food for the birds of the air; for the Lord has said it.

bbe@1Kings:14:13 @And all Israel will put his body to rest, weeping over him, because he only of the family of Jeroboam will be put into his resting-place in the earth; for of all the family of Jeroboam, in him only has the Lord, the God of Israel, seen some good.

bbe@1Kings:14:15 @And even now the hand of the Lord has come down on Israel, shaking it like a river-grass in the water; and, uprooting Israel from this good land, which he gave to their fathers, he will send them this way and that on the other side of the River; because they have made for themselves images, moving the Lord to wrath.

bbe@1Kings:14:17 @Then Jeroboam's wife got up and went away and came to Tirzah; and when she came to the doorway of the house, death came to the child

bbe@1Kings:14:19 @Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he made war and how he became king, are recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel.

bbe@1Kings:14:20 @And Jeroboam was king for twenty-two years, and was put to rest with his fathers, and Nadab his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:14:21 @And Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, was king in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he became king, and he was king for seventeen years in Jerusalem, the town which the Lord had made his out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman.

bbe@1Kings:14:24 @And more than this, there were those in the land who were used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods, doing the same disgusting crimes as the nations which the Lord had sent out before the children of Israel.

bbe@1Kings:14:25 @Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem;

bbe@1Kings:14:27 @So in their place King Rehoboam had other body-covers made of brass, and gave them into the care of the captains of the armed men who were stationed at the door of the king's house.

bbe@1Kings:14:28 @And whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, the armed men went with him taking the body-covers, and then took them back to their room.

bbe@1Kings:14:31 @And Rehoboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; his mother's name was Naamah, an Ammonite woman. And Abijam his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:15:1 @Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.

bbe@1Kings:15:2 @For three years he was king in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.

bbe@1Kings:15:3 @And he did the same sins which his father had done before him: his heart was not completely true to the Lord his God, like the heart of David his father.

bbe@1Kings:15:8 @Then Abijam went to rest with his fathers, and they put him into the earth in the town of David: and Asa his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:15:9 @In the twentieth year that Jeroboam was king of Israel, Asa became king over Judah.

bbe@1Kings:15:10 @And he was king for forty-one years in Jerusalem; his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.

bbe@1Kings:15:19 @Let there be an agreement between me and you as there was between my father and your father: see, I have sent you an offering of silver and gold; go and put an end to your agreement with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he may give up attacking me

bbe@1Kings:15:22 @Then King Asa got all Judah together, making every man come; and they took away the stones and the wood with which Baasha was building Ramah, and King Asa made use of them for building Geba in the land of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

bbe@1Kings:15:24 @So Asa went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:15:25 @Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, became king over Israel in the second year that Asa was king of Judah; and he was king of Israel for two years.

bbe@1Kings:15:28 @In the third year of the rule of Asa, king of Judah, Baasha put him to death, and became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:15:29 @And straight away when he became king, he sent destruction on all the offspring of Jeroboam; there was not one living person of all the family of Jeroboam whom he did not put to death, so the word of the Lord, which he said by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite, came about;

bbe@1Kings:15:33 @In the third year of the rule of Asa, king of Judah, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, became king over all Israel in Tirzah, and was king for twenty-four years.

bbe@1Kings:16:1 @And the word of the Lord came to Jehu, son of Hanani, protesting against Baasha and saying,

bbe@1Kings:16:2 @Because I took you up out of the dust, and made you ruler over my people Israel; and you have gone in the ways of Jeroboam, and made my people Israel do evil, moving me to wrath by their sins;

bbe@1Kings:16:4 @Anyone of the family of Baasha who comes to death in the town, will become food for the dogs; and he to whom death comes in the open country, will be food for the birds of the air.

bbe@1Kings:16:6 @And Baasha went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth at Tirzah; and Elah his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:16:8 @In the twenty-sixth year that Asa was king of Judah, Elah, the son of Baasha, became king of Israel in Tirzah, and he was king for two years.

bbe@1Kings:16:11 @And straight away when he became king and took his place on the seat of the kingdom, he put to death all the family of Baasha: not one male child of his relations or his friends kept his life.

bbe@1Kings:16:12 @So Zimri put to death all the family of Baasha, so that the word which the Lord said against him by the mouth of Jehu the prophet came about;

bbe@1Kings:16:16 @And news came to the people in the tents that Zimri had made a secret design and had put the king to death: so all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king that day in the tents.

bbe@1Kings:16:18 @And when Zimri saw that the town was taken, he went into the inner room of the king's house, and burning the house over his head, came to his end,

bbe@1Kings:16:22 @But the supporters of Omri overcame those who were on the side of Tibni, the son of Ginath; and death came to Tibni and to his brother Joram at that time: and Omri became king in the place of Tibni.

bbe@1Kings:16:23 @In the thirty-first year of Asa, king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel, and he was king for twelve years; for six years he was ruling in Tirzah.

bbe@1Kings:16:24 @He got the hill Samaria from Shemer for the price of two talents of silver, and he made a town there, building it on the hill and naming it Samaria, after Shemer the owner of the hill.

bbe@1Kings:16:28 @So Omri went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria; and Ahab his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:16:29 @In the thirty-eighth year that Asa was king of Judah, Ahab, the son of Omri, became king over Israel; and Ahab was king in Samaria for twenty-two years.

bbe@1Kings:16:31 @And as if copying the evil ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, was a small thing for him, he took as his wife Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of Zidon, and became a servant and worshipper of Baal.

bbe@1Kings:17:2 @Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying,

bbe@1Kings:17:6 @And the ravens took him bread in the morning and meat in the evening; and the water of the stream was his drink.

bbe@1Kings:17:7 @Now after a time the stream became dry, because there was no rain in the land.

bbe@1Kings:17:8 @Then the word of the Lord came to him, saying,

bbe@1Kings:17:10 @So he got up and went to Zarephath; and when he came to the door of the town, he saw a widow woman getting sticks together; and crying out to her he said, Will you give me a little water in a vessel for my drink?

bbe@1Kings:17:11 @And when she was going to get it, he said to her, And get me with it a small bit of bread.

bbe@1Kings:17:12 @Then she said, By the life of the Lord your God, I have nothing but a little meal in my store, and a drop of oil in the bottle; and now I am getting two sticks together so that I may go in and make it ready for me and my son, so that we may have a meal before our death.

bbe@1Kings:17:13 @And Elijah said to her, Have no fear; go and do as you have said, but first make me a little cake of it and come and give it to me, and then make something for yourself and your son.

bbe@1Kings:17:14 @For this is the word of the Lord, the God of Israel: The store of meal will not come to an end, and the bottle will never be without oil, till the day when the Lord sends rain on the earth.

bbe@1Kings:17:15 @So she went and did as Elijah said; and she and he and her family had food for a long time.

bbe@1Kings:17:16 @The store of meal did not come to an end, and the bottle was never without oil, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Elijah.

bbe@1Kings:17:17 @Now after this, the son of the woman of the house became ill, so ill that there was no breath in him.

bbe@1Kings:17:18 @And she said to Elijah, What have I to do with you, O man of God? have you come to put God in mind of my sin, and to put my son to death?

bbe@1Kings:17:19 @And he said to her, Give your son to me. And lifting him out of her arms, he took him up to his room and put him down on his bed.

bbe@1Kings:17:21 @And stretching herself out on the child three times, he made his prayer to the Lord, saying, O Lord my God, be pleased to let this child's life come back to him again.

bbe@1Kings:17:22 @And the Lord gave ear to the voice of Elijah, and the child's spirit came into him again, and he came back to life.

bbe@1Kings:18:1 @Now after a long time, the word of the Lord came to Elijah, in the third year, saying, Go and let Ahab see you, so that I may send rain on the earth.

bbe@1Kings:18:4 @For when Jezebel was cutting off the prophets of the Lord, Obadiah took a hundred of them, and kept them secretly in a hole in the rock, fifty at a time, and gave them bread and water.)

bbe@1Kings:18:5 @And Ahab said to Obadiah, Come, let us go through all the country, to all the fountains of water and all the rivers, and see if there is any grass to be had for the horses and the transport beasts, so that we may be able to keep some of the beasts from destruction.

bbe@1Kings:18:7 @And while Obadiah was on his way, he came face to face with Elijah; and seeing who it was, he went down on his face and said, Is it you, my lord Elijah?

bbe@1Kings:18:12 @And straight away, when I have gone from you, the spirit of the Lord will take you away, I have no idea where, so that when I come and give word to Ahab, and he sees you not, he will put me to death: though I, your servant, have been a worshipper of the Lord from my earliest years.

bbe@1Kings:18:13 @Has my lord not had word of what I did when Jezebel was putting the Lord's prophets to death? how I kept a hundred of them in a secret hole in the rock, fifty at a time, and gave them bread and water?

bbe@1Kings:18:14 @And now you say, Go and say to your Lord, Elijah is here; and he will put me to death.

bbe@1Kings:18:15 @And Elijah said, By the life of the Lord of armies, whose servant I am, I will certainly let him see me today.

bbe@1Kings:18:19 @Now send, and get Israel together before me at Mount Carmel, with the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal who get their food at Jezebel's table.

bbe@1Kings:18:20 @So Ahab sent for all the children of Israel, and got the prophets together at Mount Carmel.

bbe@1Kings:18:21 @And Elijah came near to all the people and said, How long will you go on balancing between two opinions? if the Lord is God, then give worship to him; but if Baal, give worship to him. And the people said not a word in answer.

bbe@1Kings:18:22 @Then Elijah said to the people, I, even I, am the only living prophet of the Lord; but Baal's prophets are four hundred and fifty men.

bbe@1Kings:18:27 @And in the middle of the day, Elijah made sport of them, saying, Give louder cries, for he is a god; he may be deep in thought, or he may have gone away for some purpose, or he may be on a journey, or by chance he is sleeping and has to be made awake.

bbe@1Kings:18:28 @So they gave loud cries, cutting themselves with knives and swords, as was their way, till the blood came streaming out all over them.

bbe@1Kings:18:29 @And from the middle of the day they went on with their prayers till the time of the offering; but there was no voice, or any answer, or any who gave attention to them.

bbe@1Kings:18:30 @Then Elijah said to all the people, Come near to me; and all the people came near. And he put up again the altar of the Lord which had been broken down.

bbe@1Kings:18:31 @And Elijah took twelve stones, the number of the tribes of the sons of Jacob, to whom the Lord had said, Israel will be your name:

bbe@1Kings:18:32 @And with the stones he made an altar to the name of the Lord; and he made a deep drain all round the altar, great enough to take two measures of seed.

bbe@1Kings:18:33 @And he put the wood in order, and, cutting up the ox, put it on the wood. Then he said, Get four vessels full of water and put it on the burned offering and on the wood. And he said, Do it a second time, and they did it a second time;

bbe@1Kings:18:34 @And he said, Do it a third time, and they did it a third time.

bbe@1Kings:18:36 @Then at the time of the offering, Elijah the prophet came near and said, O Lord, the God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, let it be seen this day that you are God in Israel, and that I am your servant, and that I have done all these things by your order.

bbe@1Kings:18:37 @Give me an answer, O Lord, give me an answer, so that this people may see that you are God, and that you have made their hearts come back again.

bbe@1Kings:18:38 @Then the fire of the Lord came down, burning up the offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and drinking up the water in the drain.

bbe@1Kings:18:42 @So Ahab went up to have food and drink, while Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he went down on the earth, putting his face between his knees.

bbe@1Kings:18:43 @And he said to his servant, Go now, and take a look in the direction of the sea. And he went up, and after looking said, There is nothing. And he said, Go again seven times; and he went seven times.

bbe@1Kings:18:44 @And the seventh time he said, I see a cloud coming up out of the sea, as small as a man's hand. Then he said, Go up and say to Ahab, Get your carriage ready and go down or the rain will keep you back.

bbe@1Kings:18:45 @And after a very little time, the heaven became black with clouds and wind, and there was a great rain. And Ahab went in his carriage to Jezreel.

bbe@1Kings:18:46 @And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah; and he made himself strong, and went running before Ahab till they came to Jezreel.

bbe@1Kings:19:2 @Then Jezebel sent a servant to Elijah, saying, May the gods' punishment be on me if I do not make your life like the life of one of them by tomorrow about this time.

bbe@1Kings:19:3 @And he got up, fearing for his life, and went in flight, and came to Beer-sheba in Judah, parting there from his servant;

bbe@1Kings:19:5 @And stretching himself on the earth, he went to sleep under the broom-plant; but an angel, touching him, said to him, Get up and have some food.

bbe@1Kings:19:7 @And the angel of the Lord came again a second time, and touching him said, Get up and have some food, or the journey will be overmuch for your strength.

bbe@1Kings:19:9 @And there he went into a hole in the rock for the night; then the word of the Lord came to him, saying, What are you doing here, Elijah?

bbe@1Kings:19:10 @And he said, I have been burning for the honour of the Lord, the God of armies; for the children of Israel have not kept your agreement; they have made destruction of your altars, and have put your prophets to death with the sword: till I, even I, am the only one living; and now they are attempting to take away my life

bbe@1Kings:19:13 @And Elijah, hearing it, went out, covering his face with his robe, and took his place in the opening of the hole. And there a voice came to him saying, What are you doing here, Elijah?

bbe@1Kings:19:14 @And he said, I have been burning for the honour of the Lord, the God of armies; for the children of Israel have not kept your agreement; they have had your altars broken down, and have put your prophets to death with the sword: till I, even I, am the only one living; and now they are attempting to take away my life.

bbe@1Kings:19:15 @And the Lord said to him, Go back on your way through the waste land to Damascus; and when you come there, put the holy oil on Hazael to make him king over Aram;

bbe@1Kings:19:16 @And on Jehu, son of Nimshi, making him king over Israel; and on Elisha, the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah, to be prophet in your place.

bbe@1Kings:19:17 @And it will come about that the man who gets away safe from the sword of Hazael, Jehu will put to death; and whoever gets away safe from the sword of Jehu, Elisha will put to death.

bbe@1Kings:19:19 @So he went away from there and came across Elisha, the son of Shaphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen, he himself walking with the twelfth; and Elijah went up to him and put his robe on him.

bbe@1Kings:19:20 @And letting the oxen be where they were, he came running after Elijah, and said, Only let me give a kiss to my father and mother, and then I will come after you. But he said to him, Go back again; for what have I done to you?

bbe@1Kings:19:21 @And he went back, and took the oxen and put them to death, and cooking their flesh with the yokes of the oxen, he gave the people a feast. Then he got up and went after Elijah and became his servant.

bbe@1Kings:20:5 @Then the representatives came back again, and said, These are the words of Ben-hadad: I sent to you saying, Give up to me your silver and your gold, your wives and your children;

bbe@1Kings:20:6 @But I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, to make a search through your house and the houses of your people, and everything which is pleasing in your eyes they will take away in their hands.

bbe@1Kings:20:7 @Then the king of Israel sent for all the responsible men of the land, and said, Now will you take note and see the evil purpose of this man: he sent for my wives and my children, my silver and my gold, and I did not keep them back.

bbe@1Kings:20:8 @And all the responsible men and the people said to him, Do not give attention to him or do what he says.

bbe@1Kings:20:9 @So he said to the representatives of Ben-hadad, Say to my lord the king, All the orders you sent the first time I will do; but this thing I may not do. And the representatives went back with this answer.

bbe@1Kings:20:10 @Then Ben-hadad sent to him, saying, May the gods' punishment be on me if there is enough of the dust of Samaria for all the people at my feet to take some in their hands.

bbe@1Kings:20:11 @And the king of Israel said in answer, Say to him, The time for loud talk is not when a man is putting on his arms, but when he is taking them off.

bbe@1Kings:20:12 @Now when this answer was given to Ben-hadad, he was drinking with the kings in the tents, and he said to his men, Take up your positions

bbe@1Kings:20:13 @Then a prophet came up to Ahab, king of Israel, and said, The Lord says, Have you seen all this great army? See, I will give it into your hands today, and you will see that I am the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:20:17 @And the servants of the chiefs who were over the divisions of the land went forward first; and when Ben-hadad sent out, they gave him the news, saying, Men have come out from Samaria.

bbe@1Kings:20:18 @And he said, If they have come out for peace, take them living, and if they have come out for war, take them living.

bbe@1Kings:20:20 @And every one of them put his man to death, and the Aramaeans went in flight with Israel after them; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got away safely on a horse with his horsemen.

bbe@1Kings:20:22 @Then the prophet came up to the king of Israel, and said to him, Now make yourself strong, and take care what you do, or a year from now the king of Aram will come up against you again.

bbe@1Kings:20:25 @And get together another army like the one which came to destruction, horse for horse, and carriage for carriage; and let us make war on them in the lowlands, and certainly we will be stronger than they. And he gave ear to what they said, and did so.

bbe@1Kings:20:28 @And a man of God came up and said to the king of Israel, The Lord says, Because the Aramaeans have said, The Lord is a god of the hills and not of the valleys; I will give all this great army into your hands, and you will see that I am the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:20:29 @Now the two armies kept their positions facing one another for seven days. And on the seventh day the fight was started; and the children of Israel put to the sword a hundred thousand Aramaean footmen in one day.

bbe@1Kings:20:30 @But the rest went in flight to Aphek, into the town, where a wall came down on the twenty-seven thousand who were still living. And Ben-hadad went in flight into the town, into an inner room.

bbe@1Kings:20:31 @Then his servants said to him, It is said that the kings of Israel are full of mercy: let us then put on haircloth, and cords on our heads, and go to the king of Israel; it may be that he will give you your life.

bbe@1Kings:20:32 @So they put on haircloth, and cords on their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, Your servant Ben-hadad says, Let me now keep my life. And he said, Is he still living? he is my brother.

bbe@1Kings:20:33 @Now the men took it as a sign, and quickly took up his words; and they said, Ben-hadad is your brother. Then he said, Go and get him. So Ben-hadad came out to him and he made him get up into his carriage.

bbe@1Kings:20:34 @And Ben-hadad said to him, The towns my father took from your father I will give back; and you may make streets for yourself in Damascus as my father did in Samaria. And as for me, at the price of this agreement you will let me go. So he made an agreement with him and let him go.

bbe@1Kings:20:35 @And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbour by the word of the Lord, Give me a wound. But the man would not.

bbe@1Kings:20:36 @Then he said to him, Because you have not given ear to the voice of the Lord, straight away when you have gone from me a lion will put you to death. And when he had gone, straight away a lion came rushing at him and put him to death.

bbe@1Kings:20:37 @Then he came across another man, and said, Give me a wound. And the man gave him a blow wounding him.

bbe@1Kings:20:39 @And when the king went by, crying out to him he said, Your servant went out into the fight; and a man came out to me with another man and said, Keep this man: if by any chance he gets away, your life will be the price of his life, or you will have to give a talent of silver in payment.

bbe@1Kings:20:43 @Then the king of Israel went back to his house, bitter and angry, and came to Samaria.

bbe@1Kings:21:2 @And Ahab said to Naboth, Give me your vine-garden so that I may have it for a garden of sweet plants, for it is near my house; and let me give you a better vine-garden in exchange, or, if it seems good to you, let me give you its value in money.

bbe@1Kings:21:3 @But Naboth said to Ahab, By the Lord, far be it from me to give you the heritage of my fathers.

bbe@1Kings:21:4 @So Ahab came into his house bitter and angry because Naboth the Jezreelite had said to him, I will not give you the heritage of my fathers. And stretching himself on the bed with his face turned away, he would take no food.

bbe@1Kings:21:5 @But Jezebel, his wife, came to him and said, Why is your spirit so bitter that you have no desire for food?

bbe@1Kings:21:6 @And he said to her, Because I was talking to Naboth the Jezreelite, and I said to him, Let me have your vine-garden for a price, or, if it is pleasing to you, I will give you another vine-garden for it: and he said, I will not give you my vine-garden.

bbe@1Kings:21:8 @So she sent a letter in Ahab's name, stamped with his stamp, to the responsible men and the chiefs who were in authority with Naboth.

bbe@1Kings:21:9 @And in the letter she said, Let a time of public sorrow be fixed, and put Naboth at the head of the people;

bbe@1Kings:21:10 @And get two good-for-nothing persons to come before him and give witness that he has been cursing God and the king. Then take him out and have him stoned to death.

bbe@1Kings:21:11 @So the responsible men and the chiefs who were in authority in his town, did as Jezebel had said in the letter she sent them.

bbe@1Kings:21:13 @And the two good-for-nothing persons came in and took their seats before him and gave witness against Naboth, in front of the people, saying, Naboth has been cursing God and the king. Then they took him outside the town and had him stoned to death.

bbe@1Kings:21:17 @And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

bbe@1Kings:21:19 @Say to him, The Lord says, Have you put a man to death and taken his heritage? Then say to him, The Lord says, In the place where dogs have been drinking the blood of Naboth, there will your blood become the drink of dogs.

bbe@1Kings:21:20 @And Ahab said to Elijah, Have you come face to face with me, O my hater? And he said, I have come to you because you have given yourself up to do evil in the eyes of the Lord.

bbe@1Kings:21:22 @And I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the family of Baasha, the son of Ahijah, because you have made me angry, and have made Israel do evil.

bbe@1Kings:21:23 @And of Jezebel the Lord said, Jezebel will become food for dogs in the heritage of Jezreel.

bbe@1Kings:21:24 @Any man of the family of Ahab who comes to his death in the town will become food for the dogs; and he who comes to his death in the open country will be food for the birds of the air.

bbe@1Kings:21:28 @Then the word of the Lord came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

bbe@1Kings:21:29 @Do you see how Ahab has made himself low before me? because he has made himself low before me, I will not send the evil in his life-time, but in his son's time I will send the evil on his family.

bbe@1Kings:22:2 @And it came about in the third year, that Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, came down to the king of Israel.

bbe@1Kings:22:4 @And he said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead to make war? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are: my people as your people, my horses as your horses.

bbe@1Kings:22:6 @So the king of Israel got all the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@1Kings:22:8 @And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom we may get directions from the Lord, Micaiah, son of Imlah; but I have no love for him, for he is a prophet of evil to me and not of good. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

bbe@1Kings:22:9 @Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imlah.

bbe@1Kings:22:12 @And all the prophets said the same thing, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and it will go well for you, for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@1Kings:22:14 @And Micaiah said, By the living Lord, whatever the Lord says to me I will say.

bbe@1Kings:22:15 @When he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, are we to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And in answer he said, Go up, and it will go well for you; and the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@1Kings:22:16 @Then the king said to him, Have I not, again and again, put you on your oath to say nothing to me but what is true in the name of the Lord?

bbe@1Kings:22:21 @Then a spirit came forward and took his place before the Lord and said, I will get him to do it by a trick.

bbe@1Kings:22:24 @Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of the face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?

bbe@1Kings:22:27 @And say, It is the king's order that this man is to be put in prison and given prison food till I come again in peace.

bbe@1Kings:22:28 @And Micaiah said, If you come back at all in peace, the Lord has not sent his word by me.

bbe@1Kings:22:32 @So when the captains of the war-carriages saw Jehoshaphat, they said, Truly, this is the king of Israel; and turning against him, they came round him, but Jehoshaphat gave a cry.

bbe@1Kings:22:34 @And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.

bbe@1Kings:22:35 @But the fight became more violent while the day went on; and the king was supported in his war-carriage facing the Aramaeans, and the floor of the carriage was covered with the blood from his wound, and by evening he was dead.

bbe@1Kings:22:37 @And they came to Samaria, and put the king's body to rest in Samaria.

bbe@1Kings:22:38 @And the war-carriage was washed by the pool of Samaria, which was the bathing-place of the loose women, and the dogs were drinking his blood there, as the Lord had said.

bbe@1Kings:22:40 @So Ahab was put to rest with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:22:41 @And Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, became king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab's rule over Israel.

bbe@1Kings:22:42 @Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he was king for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.

bbe@1Kings:22:47 @He put an end to the rest of those who were used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods, all those who were still in the land in the time of his father Asa.

bbe@1Kings:22:48 @At that time there was no king in Edom;

bbe@1Kings:22:50 @Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, Let my men go with yours in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not let them.

bbe@1Kings:22:51 @Then Jehoshaphat went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Jehoram his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Kings:22:52 @Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of the rule of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, and he was king over Israel for two years.

bbe@2Kings:1:2 @Now Ahaziah had a fall from the window of his room in Samaria, and was ill. And he sent men, and said to them, Put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, about the outcome of my disease, to see if I will get well or not.

bbe@2Kings:1:3 @But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the Tishbite, Go now, and, meeting the men sent by the king of Samaria, say to them, Is it because there is no God in Israel, that you are going to get directions from Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?

bbe@2Kings:1:4 @Give ear then to the words of the Lord: You will never again get down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you. Then Elijah went away.

bbe@2Kings:1:5 @And the men he had sent came back to the king; and he said to them, Why have you come back?

bbe@2Kings:1:6 @And they said to him, On our way we had a meeting with a man who said, Go back to the king who sent you and say to him, The Lord says, Is it because there is no God in Israel that you send to put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? For this reason, you will not come down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you.

bbe@2Kings:1:7 @And he said to them, What sort of a man was it who came and said these words to you?

bbe@2Kings:1:9 @Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty men; and he went up to him where he was seated on the top of a hill, and said to him, O man of God, the king has said, Come down.

bbe@2Kings:1:10 @And Elijah in answer said to the captain of fifty, If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven on you and on your fifty men, and put an end to you. Then fire came down from heaven and put an end to him and his fifty men.

bbe@2Kings:1:11 @Then the king sent another captain of fifty with his fifty men; and he said to Elijah, O man of God, the king says, Come down quickly.

bbe@2Kings:1:12 @And Elijah in answer said, If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven on you and on your fifty men, and put an end to you. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and put an end to him and his fifty men.

bbe@2Kings:1:13 @Then he sent a third captain of fifty with his fifty men; and the third captain of fifty went up, and falling on his knees before Elijah, requesting mercy of him, said, O man of God, let my life and the life of these your fifty servants be of value to you.

bbe@2Kings:1:14 @For fire came down from heaven and put an end to the first two captains of fifty and their fifties; but now let my life be of value in your eyes.

bbe@2Kings:1:16 @And he said to him, This is the word of the Lord: Because you sent men to put a question to Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, for this reason you will never again get down from the bed on to which you have gone up, but death will certainly come to you.

bbe@2Kings:1:17 @So death came to him, as the Lord had said by the mouth of Elijah. And Jehoram became king in his place in the second year of the rule of Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah; because he had no son.

bbe@2Kings:2:2 @And Elijah said to Elisha, Come no farther for the Lord has sent me to Beth-el. But Elisha said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went down to Beth-el.

bbe@2Kings:2:3 @And at Beth-el the sons of the prophets came out to Elisha and said, Has it been made clear to you that the Lord is going to take away your master from over you today? And he said, Yes, I have knowledge of it: say no more.

bbe@2Kings:2:4 @Then Elijah said to him, Come no farther, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho. But he said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went on to Jericho.

bbe@2Kings:2:5 @And at Jericho the sons of the prophets came up to Elisha and said to him, Has it been made clear to you that the Lord is going to take away your master from over you today? And he said in answer, Yes, I have knowledge of it: say no more.

bbe@2Kings:2:6 @Then Elijah said to him, Come no farther, for the Lord has sent me to Jordan. But he said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went on together.

bbe@2Kings:2:7 @And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went out and took their places facing them a long way off, while the two of them were by the edge of Jordan.

bbe@2Kings:2:9 @And when they had come to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, Say what you would have me do for you before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, Be pleased to let a special measure of your spirit be on me.

bbe@2Kings:2:10 @And he said, You have made a hard request: still, if you see me when I am taken from you, you will get your desire; but if not, it will not be so.

bbe@2Kings:2:12 @And when Elisha saw it he gave a cry, My father, my father, the carriages of Israel and its horsemen! And he saw him no longer; and he was full of grief.

bbe@2Kings:2:13 @Then he took up Elijah's robe, which had been dropped from him, and went back till he came to the edge of Jordan.

bbe@2Kings:2:15 @And when the sons of the prophets who were facing him at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha. And they came out to him, and went down on the earth before him.

bbe@2Kings:2:16 @And they said, Your servants have with us here fifty strong men; be pleased to let them go in search of Elijah; for it may be that the spirit of the Lord has taken him up and put him down on some mountain or in some valley. But he said, Do not send them.

bbe@2Kings:2:17 @But when they kept on requesting him, he was shamed and said, Send, then. So they sent fifty men; but after searching for three days, they came back without having seen him.

bbe@2Kings:2:18 @And they came back to him, while he was still at Jericho; and he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?

bbe@2Kings:2:19 @Now the men of the town said to Elisha, You see that the position of this town is good; but the water is bad, causing the young of the cattle to come to birth dead.

bbe@2Kings:2:20 @So he said, Get me a new vessel, and put salt in it; and they took it to him.

bbe@2Kings:2:21 @Then he went out to the spring from which the water came, and put salt in it, and said, The Lord says, Now I have made this water sweet; no longer will it be death-giving or unfertile.

bbe@2Kings:2:23 @Then from there he went up to Beth-el; and on his way, some little boys came out from the town and made sport of him, crying, Go up, old no-hair! go up, old no-hair!

bbe@2Kings:2:24 @And turning back, he saw them, and put a curse on them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the wood and put forty-two of the children to death.

bbe@2Kings:2:25 @From there he went to Mount Carmel, and came back from there to Samaria.

bbe@2Kings:3:1 @And Jehoram, the son of Ahab, became king over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of the rule of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah; and he was king for twelve years.

bbe@2Kings:3:3 @But still he did the same sins which Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, did and made Israel do; he went on in them.

bbe@2Kings:3:4 @Now Mesha, king of Moab, was a sheep-farmer; and he gave regularly to the king of Israel the wool from a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand sheep.

bbe@2Kings:3:6 @At that time, King Jehoram went out from Samaria and got all Israel together in fighting order.

bbe@2Kings:3:7 @And he sent to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has got free from my authority: will you go with me to make war on Moab? And he said, I will go with you: I am as you are, my people as your people, and my horses as your horses.

bbe@2Kings:3:11 @But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no prophet of the Lord here, through whom we may get directions from the Lord? And one of the king of Israel's men said in answer, Elisha, the son of Shaphat, is here, who was servant to Elijah.

bbe@2Kings:3:15 @But now, get me a player of music, and it will come about that while the man is playing, the hand of the Lord will come on me and I will give you the word of the Lord: and they got a player of music, and while the man was playing, the hand of the Lord was on him.

bbe@2Kings:3:20 @Now in the morning, about the time when the offering was made, they saw water flowing from the direction of Edom till the country was full of water.

bbe@2Kings:3:21 @Now all Moab, hearing that the kings had come to make war against them, got together all who were able to take up arms and went forward to the edge of the country.

bbe@2Kings:3:23 @Then they said, This is blood: it is clear that destruction has come on the kings; they have been fighting one another: now come, Moab, let us take their goods.

bbe@2Kings:3:24 @But when they came to the tents of Israel, the Israelites came out and made a violent attack on the Moabites, so that they went in flight before them; and they went forward still attacking them;

bbe@2Kings:3:25 @Pulling down the towns, covering every good field with stones, stopping up all the water-springs, and cutting down all the good trees; they went on driving Moab before them till only in Kir-hareseth were there any Moabites; and the fighting-men went round the town raining stones on it.

bbe@2Kings:3:26 @And when the king of Moab saw that the fight was going against him, he took with him seven hundred men armed with swords, with the idea of forcing a way through to the king of Aram, but they were not able to do so.

bbe@2Kings:4:1 @Now a certain woman, the wife of one of the sons of the prophets, came crying to Elisha and said, Your servant my husband is dead; and to your knowledge he was a worshipper of the Lord; but now, the creditor has come to take my two children as servants in payment of his debt.

bbe@2Kings:4:6 @And when all the vessels were full, she said to her son, Get me another vessel. And he said, There are no more. And the flow of oil was stopped.

bbe@2Kings:4:7 @So she came to the man of God and gave him word of what she had done. And he said, Go and get money for the oil and make payment of your debt, and let the rest be for the needs of yourself and your sons.

bbe@2Kings:4:8 @Now there came a day when Elisha went to Shunem, and there was a woman of high position living there, who made him come in and have a meal with her. And after that, every time he went by, he went into her house for a meal.

bbe@2Kings:4:9 @And she said to her husband, Now I see that this is a holy man of God, who comes by day after day.

bbe@2Kings:4:10 @So let us make a little room on the wall; and put a bed there for him, and a table and a seat and a light; so that when he comes to us, he will be able to go in there

bbe@2Kings:4:12 @And he said to Gehazi, his servant, Send for this Shunammite. So in answer to his voice she came before him.

bbe@2Kings:4:16 @And Elisha said, At this time in the coming year you will have a son in your arms. And she said, No, my lord, O man of God, do not say what is false to your servant.

bbe@2Kings:4:17 @Then the woman became with child and gave birth to a son at the time named, in the year after, as Elisha had said to her.

bbe@2Kings:4:22 @And she said to her husband, Send me one of the servants and one of the asses so that I may go quickly to the man of God and come back again.

bbe@2Kings:4:24 @Then she made the ass ready and said to her servant, Keep driving on; do not make a stop without orders from me.

bbe@2Kings:4:25 @So she went, and came to Mount Carmel, to the man of God. And when the man of God saw her coming in his direction, he said to Gehazi, his servant, See, there is the Shunammite;

bbe@2Kings:4:26 @Go quickly to her, and on meeting her say to her, Are you well? and your husband and the child, are they well? And she said in answer, All is well.

bbe@2Kings:4:27 @And when she came to where the man of God was on the hill, she put her hands round his feet; and Gehazi came near with the purpose of pushing her away; but the man of God said, Let her be, for her soul is bitter in her; and the Lord has kept it secret from me, and has not given me word of it.

bbe@2Kings:4:28 @Then she said, Did I make a request to my lord for a son? did I not say, Do not give me false words?

bbe@2Kings:4:29 @Then he said to Gehazi, Make yourself ready, and take my stick in your hand, and go: if you come across anyone on the way, give him no blessing, and if anyone gives you a blessing, give him no answer. And put my stick on the child's face.

bbe@2Kings:4:31 @And Gehazi went on before them and put the stick on the child's face; but there was no voice, and no one gave attention. So he went back, and meeting him gave him the news, saying, The child is not awake.

bbe@2Kings:4:32 @And when Elisha came into the house he saw the child dead, stretched on his bed.

bbe@2Kings:4:34 @Then he got up on the bed, stretching himself out on the child, and put his mouth on the child's mouth, his eyes on his eyes and his hands on his hands; and the child's body became warm.

bbe@2Kings:4:35 @Then he came back, and after walking once through the house and back, he went up, stretching himself out on the child seven times; and the child's eyes became open.

bbe@2Kings:4:36 @And he gave orders to Gehazi, and said, Send for the Shunammite. And she came in answer to his voice. And he said, Take up your son.

bbe@2Kings:4:37 @And she came in, and went down on her face to the earth at his feet; then she took her son in her arms and went out.

bbe@2Kings:4:39 @And one went out into the field to get green plants and saw a vine of the field, and pulling off the fruit of it till the fold of his robe was full, he came back and put the fruit, cut up small, into the pot of soup, having no idea what it was.

bbe@2Kings:4:40 @Then they gave the men soup from the pot. And while they were drinking the soup, they gave a cry, and said, O man of God, there is death in the pot; and they were not able to take any more food.

bbe@2Kings:4:41 @But he said, Get some meal. And he put it into the pot, and said, Now give it to the people so that they may have food. And there was nothing bad in the pot.

bbe@2Kings:4:42 @Now a man came from Baal-shalishah with an offering of first-fruits for the man of God, twenty barley cakes and garden fruit in his bag. And he said, Give these to the people for food.

bbe@2Kings:4:43 @But his servant said, How am I to put this before a hundred men? But he said, Give it to the people for food; for the Lord says, There will be food for them and some over.

bbe@2Kings:4:44 @So he put it before them, and they had a meal and there was more than enough, as the Lord had said.

bbe@2Kings:5:2 @Now the Aramaeans had gone out in bands, and taken prisoner from Israel a little girl, who became servant to Naaman's wife.

bbe@2Kings:5:4 @And someone went and said to his lord, This is what the girl from the land of Israel says.

bbe@2Kings:5:7 @But the king of Israel, after reading the letter, was greatly troubled and said, Am I God, to give death and life? why does this man send a leper to me to be made well? is it not clear that he is looking for a cause of war?

bbe@2Kings:5:8 @Now Elisha, the man of God, hearing that the king of Israel had done this, sent to the king, saying, Why are you troubled? send the man to me, so that he may see that there is a prophet in Israel.

bbe@2Kings:5:9 @So Naaman, with all his horses and his carriages, came to the door of Elisha's house.

bbe@2Kings:5:10 @And Elisha sent a servant to him, saying, Go to Jordan, and after washing seven times in its waters your flesh will be well again and you will be clean.

bbe@2Kings:5:11 @But Naaman was angry and went away and said, I had the idea that he would come out to see such an important person as I am, and make prayer to the Lord his God, and with a wave of his hand over the place make the leper well.

bbe@2Kings:5:12 @Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not be washed in them and become clean? So turning, he went away in wrath

bbe@2Kings:5:13 @Then his servants came to him and said, If the prophet had given you orders to do some great thing, would you not have done it? how much more then, when he says to you, Be washed and become clean?

bbe@2Kings:5:14 @Then he went down seven times into the waters of Jordan, as the man of God had said; and his flesh became like the flesh of a little child again, and he was clean.

bbe@2Kings:5:15 @Then he went back to the man of God, with all his train, and, taking his place before him, said, Now I am certain that there is no God in all the earth, but only in Israel: now then, take an offering from me.

bbe@2Kings:5:19 @And he said to him, Go in peace. And he went from him some distance.

bbe@2Kings:5:20 @But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha, the man of God, said, Now my master has taken nothing from Naaman, this Aramaean, of what he would have given him: by the living Lord, I will go after him and get something from him.

bbe@2Kings:5:22 @And he said, All is well: but my master has sent me, saying, Even now, two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim; will you give me a talent of silver and two changes of clothing for them?

bbe@2Kings:5:24 @When he came to the hill, he took them from their hands, and put them away in the house; and he sent the men away, and they went.

bbe@2Kings:5:25 @Then he came in and took his place before his master. And Elisha said to him, Where have you come from, Gehazi? And he said, Your servant went nowhere.

bbe@2Kings:5:26 @And he said to him, Did not my heart go with you, when the man got down from his carriage and went back to you? Is this a time for getting money, and clothing, and olive-gardens and vine-gardens, and sheep and oxen, and men-servants and women-servants?

bbe@2Kings:6:4 @So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they got to work cutting down trees.

bbe@2Kings:6:6 @And the man of God said, Where did it go in? and when he saw the place where it had gone into the water, cutting a stick, he put it into the water, and the iron came up to the top of the water.

bbe@2Kings:6:8 @At that time the king of Aram was making war against Israel; and he had a meeting with the chiefs of his army and said, I will be waiting in secret in some named place.

bbe@2Kings:6:11 @And at this, the mind of the king of Aram was greatly troubled, and he sent for his servants and said to them, Will you not make clear to me which of us is helping the king of Israel?

bbe@2Kings:6:13 @Then he said, Go and see where he is, so that I may send and get him. And news came to him that he was in Dothan.

bbe@2Kings:6:14 @So he sent there horses and carriages and a great army; and they came by night, circling the town

bbe@2Kings:6:18 @Now when the Aramaeans came down to Elisha, he made a prayer to the Lord saying, Lord, make this people blind. And he made them blind at Elisha's request.

bbe@2Kings:6:19 @And Elisha said to them, This is not the way, and this is not the town: come after me so that I may take you to the man you are searching for. And he took them to Samaria.

bbe@2Kings:6:20 @And when they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, Lord, let the eyes of these men be open so that they may see. And the Lord made their eyes open, and they saw that they were in the middle of Samaria.

bbe@2Kings:6:23 @So he made ready a great feast for them, and when they had had food and drink, he sent them away and they went back to their master. And no more bands of Aramaeans came into the land of Israel.

bbe@2Kings:6:25 @And they became very short of food in Samaria; for they kept it shut in till the price of an ass's head was eighty shekels of silver, and a small measure of doves' droppings was five shekels of silver.

bbe@2Kings:6:26 @And when the king of Israel was going by on the wall, a woman came crying out to him, and said, Help! my lord king.

bbe@2Kings:6:28 @And the king said to her, What is troubling you? And she said in answer, This woman said to me, Give your son to be our food today, and we will have my son tomorrow.

bbe@2Kings:6:29 @So, boiling my son, we had a meal of him; and on the day after I said to her, Now give your son for our food; but she has put her son in a secret place.

bbe@2Kings:6:31 @Then he said, May God's punishment come on me if Elisha, the son of Shaphat, keeps his head on his body after this day.

bbe@2Kings:6:32 @But Elisha was in his house, and the responsible men were seated there with him; and before the king got there, Elisha said to those who were with him, Do you see how this cruel and violent man has sent to take away my life?

bbe@2Kings:6:33 @While he was still talking to them, the king came down and said, This evil is from the Lord; why am I to go on waiting any longer for the Lord?

bbe@2Kings:7:1 @Then Elisha said, Give ear to the word of the Lord: the Lord says, Tomorrow, about this time, a measure of good meal will be offered for the price of a shekel and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the market-place of Samaria.

bbe@2Kings:7:4 @If we say, We will go into the town, there is no food in the town, and we will come to our end there; and if we go on waiting here, death will come to us. Come then, let us give ourselves up to the army of Aram: if they let us go on living, then life will be ours; and if they put us to death, then death will be ours.

bbe@2Kings:7:5 @So in the half light they got up to go to the tents of Aram; but when they came to the outer line of tents, there was no one there.

bbe@2Kings:7:6 @For the Lord had made the sound of carriages and horses, and the noise of a great army, come to the ears of the Aramaeans, so that they said to one another, Truly, the king of Israel has got the kings of the Hittites and of the Egyptians for a price to make an attack on us.

bbe@2Kings:7:8 @And when those lepers came to the outer line of tents, they went into one tent, and had food and drink, and took from it silver and gold and clothing, which they put in a secret place; then they came back and went into another tent from which they took more goods, which they put away in a secret place.

bbe@2Kings:7:9 @Then they said to one another, We are not doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we say nothing: if we go on waiting here till the morning, punishment will come to us. So let us go and give the news to those of the king's house.

bbe@2Kings:7:10 @So they came in, and, crying out to the door-keepers of the town, they gave them the news, saying, We came to the tents of the Aramaeans, and there was no one there and no voice of man, only the horses and the asses in their places, and the tents as they were.

bbe@2Kings:7:12 @Then the king got up in the night and said to his servants, This is my idea of what the Aramaeans have done to us. They have knowledge that we are without food; and so they have gone out of their tents, and are waiting secretly in the open country, saying, When they come out of the town, we will take them living and get into the town.

bbe@2Kings:7:13 @And one of his servants said in answer, Send men and let them take five of the horses which we still have in the town; if they keep their lives they will be the same as those of Israel who are still living here; if they come to their death they will be the same as all those of Israel who have gone to destruction: let us send and see.

bbe@2Kings:7:14 @So they took two horsemen; and the king sent them after the army of the Aramaeans, saying, Go and see.

bbe@2Kings:7:18 @So the words of the man of God came true, which he said to the king: Two measures of barley will be offered for the price of a shekel and a measure of good meal for a shekel, tomorrow about this time in the market-place of Samaria.

bbe@2Kings:8:3 @And when the seven years were ended, the woman came back from the land of the Philistines and went to the king with a request for her house and her land.

bbe@2Kings:8:4 @Now the king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, saying, Now, give me an account of all the great things Elisha has done.

bbe@2Kings:8:5 @And while he was giving the king the story of how Elisha had given life to the dead, the woman whose son had come back to life came to the king with a request for her house and her land. And Gehazi said, My lord king, this is the woman and this is her son, whose life Elisha gave back to him.

bbe@2Kings:8:7 @And Elisha came to Damascus; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, was ill; and they said to him, The man of God has come.

bbe@2Kings:8:9 @So Hazael went to see him, taking with him forty camels with offerings on their backs of every sort of good thing from Damascus; and when he came before him, he said, Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you, saying, Will I get better from this disease?

bbe@2Kings:8:10 @And Elisha said to him, Go, say to him, You will certainly get better; but the Lord has made it clear to me that only death is before him.

bbe@2Kings:8:11 @And he kept his eyes fixed on him till he was shamed, and the man of God was overcome with weeping.

bbe@2Kings:8:12 @And Hazael said, Why is my lord weeping? Then he said in answer, Because I see the evil which you will do to the children of Israel: burning down their strong towns, putting their young men to death with the sword, smashing their little ones against the stones, and cutting open the women who are with child.

bbe@2Kings:8:13 @And Hazael said, How is it possible that your servant, who is only a dog, will do this great thing? And Elisha said, The Lord has made it clear to me that you will be king over Aram.

bbe@2Kings:8:14 @Then he went away from Elisha and came in to his master, who said to him, What did Elisha say to you? And his answer was, He said that you would certainly get well.

bbe@2Kings:8:15 @Now on the day after, Hazael took the bed-cover, and making it wet with water, put it over Ben-hadad's face, causing his death: and Hazael became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:8:16 @In the fifth year of Joram, the son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoram, the son of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became king.

bbe@2Kings:8:17 @He was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.

bbe@2Kings:8:20 @In his time, Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, and took a king for themselves.

bbe@2Kings:8:22 @So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah to this day. And at the same time, Libnah made itself free.

bbe@2Kings:8:24 @And Joram went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David: and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:8:25 @In the twelfth year that Joram, the son of Ahab, was king of Israel, Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, became king;

bbe@2Kings:8:26 @Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri, king of Israel.

bbe@2Kings:8:29 @So King Joram went back to Jezreel to get well from the wounds which the bowmen had given him at Ramah, when he was fighting against Hazael, king of Aram. And Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went down to see Joram, the son of Ahab, in Jezreel, because he was ill.

bbe@2Kings:9:5 @And when he came, he saw the captains of the army seated together; and he said, I have something to say to you, O captain. And Jehu said, To which of us? And he said, To you, O captain.

bbe@2Kings:9:7 @You are to see that the family of Ahab your master is cut off, so that I may take from Jezebel payment for the blood of my servants the prophets, and for the blood of all the servants of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:9:8 @For the family of Ahab will come to an end; every male of Ahab's family will be cut off, he who is shut up and he who goes free in Israel.

bbe@2Kings:9:10 @And Jezebel will become food for the dogs in the heritage of Jezreel, and there will be no one to put her body into the earth. Then, opening the door, he went in flight.

bbe@2Kings:9:11 @Then Jehu came out again to the servants of his lord, and one said to him, Is all well? why did this man, who is off his head, come to you? And he said to them, You have knowledge of the man and of his talk.

bbe@2Kings:9:12 @And they said, That is not true; now give us his story. Then he said, This is what he said to me: The Lord says, I have made you king over Israel.

bbe@2Kings:9:16 @So Jehu got into his carriage and went to Jezreel, for Joram was ill in bed there; and Ahaziah, king of Judah, had come down to see Joram.

bbe@2Kings:9:18 @So a horseman went out to them and said, The king says, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What have you to do with peace? come after me. And the watchman gave them word, saying, The horseman went up to them, but has not come back.

bbe@2Kings:9:19 @Then he sent out a second horseman, who came up to them and said, The king says, Is it peace? And Jehu said in answer, What have you to do with peace? come after me.

bbe@2Kings:9:20 @And the watchman gave them word, saying, He went up to them and has not come back again; and the driving is like the driving of Jehu, son of Nimshi, for he is driving violently

bbe@2Kings:9:21 @Then Joram said, Make ready. So they made his carriage ready; and Joram, king of Israel, with Ahaziah, king of Judah, went out in their carriages for the purpose of meeting Jehu; and they came face to face with him at the field of Naboth the Jezreelite.

bbe@2Kings:9:24 @Then Jehu took his bow in his hand, and with all his strength sent an arrow, wounding Joram between the arms; and the arrow came out at his heart, and he went down on his face in his carriage.

bbe@2Kings:9:25 @Then Jehu said to Bidkar, his captain, Take him up, and put him in the field of Naboth the Jezreelite: for is not that day in your memory when you and I together on our horses were going after Ahab, his father, and the Lord put this fate on him, saying:

bbe@2Kings:9:26 @I saw the blood of Naboth and of his sons yesterday; and I will give you full payment in this field, says the Lord? So now, take him and put him in this field, as the Lord said.

bbe@2Kings:9:27 @Now when Ahaziah, king of Judah, saw this, he went in flight by the way of the garden house. And Jehu came after him and said, Put him to death in the same way; and they gave him a death-wound in his carriage, on the slope up to Gur, by Ibleam; and he went in flight to Megiddo, where death came to him.

bbe@2Kings:9:29 @(In the eleventh year of the rule of Joram, the son of Ahab, Ahaziah became king over Judah.)

bbe@2Kings:9:30 @And when Jehu came to Jezreel, Jezebel had news of it; and, painting her eyes and dressing her hair with ornaments, she put her head out of the window.

bbe@2Kings:9:34 @And he came in, and took food and drink; then he said, Now see to this cursed woman, and put her body into the earth, for she is a king's daughter.

bbe@2Kings:9:36 @So they came back and gave him word of it. And he said, This is what the Lord said by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the heritage of Jezreel the flesh of Jezebel will become food for dogs;

bbe@2Kings:10:1 @Now there were in Samaria seventy of Ahab's sons. And Jehu sent letters to Samaria, to the rulers of the town, and to the responsible men, and to those who had the care of the sons of Ahab, saying,

bbe@2Kings:10:5 @So the controller of the king's house, with the ruler of the town, and the responsible men, and those who had the care of Ahab's sons, sent to Jehu, saying, We are your servants and will do all your orders; we will not make any man king; do whatever seems best to you.

bbe@2Kings:10:6 @Then he sent them a second letter, saying, If you are on my side, and if you will do my orders, come to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow, with the heads of your master's sons. Now the king's seventy sons were with the great men of the town, who had the care of them.

bbe@2Kings:10:7 @And when the letter came to them, they took the king's sons and put them to death, all the seventy, and put their heads in baskets and sent them to him at Jezreel.

bbe@2Kings:10:8 @And a man came and said to him, They have come with the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Put them down in two masses at the doorway of the town till the morning.

bbe@2Kings:10:9 @And in the morning he went out and, stopping, said to all the people there, You are upright men: it is true that I made designs against my master, and put him to death; but who is responsible for the death of all these?

bbe@2Kings:10:12 @Then he got up and came to Samaria. And he was at the meeting-place of the keepers of sheep, by the way,

bbe@2Kings:10:13 @When he came across the brothers of Ahaziah, king of Judah, and said, Who are you? And they said, We are the brothers of Ahaziah, king of Judah; we are going down to see the children of the king and of the queen.

bbe@2Kings:10:14 @And he said, Take them living. So they took them living, and put them to death in the water-hole of Beth-eked; of the forty-two men he put every one to death;

bbe@2Kings:10:15 @And when he had gone away from there, he came across Jehonadab, the son of Rechab: and he said good-day to him, and said to him, Is your heart true to mine, as mine is to yours? And Jehonadab in answer said, It is; and Jehu said, If it is, give me your hand. And he gave him his hand, and he made him come up into his carriage.

bbe@2Kings:10:16 @And he said, Come with me and see how I am on fire for the Lord's cause. So he made him go with him in his carriage.

bbe@2Kings:10:17 @And when he came to Samaria, he put to death all those of Ahab's family who were still in Samaria, till there were no more of them, as the Lord had said to Elijah.

bbe@2Kings:10:19 @Now send for all the prophets of Baal and all his servants and all his priests, to come to me; let no one keep away: for I have a great offering to make to Baal; anyone who is not present, will be put to death. This Jehu did with deceit, his purpose being the destruction of the servants of Baal.

bbe@2Kings:10:20 @And Jehu said, Let there be a special holy meeting for the worship of Baal. So a public statement was made.

bbe@2Kings:10:21 @And Jehu sent out through all Israel; and all the servants of Baal came, not one kept away. And they came into the house of Baal, so that it was full from end to end.

bbe@2Kings:10:24 @Then they went in to make offerings and burned offerings. Now Jehu had put eighty men outside, and said to them, If any man whom I give into your hands gets away, the life of him who lets him go will be the price of his life.

bbe@2Kings:10:25 @Then when the burned offering was ended, straight away Jehu said to the armed men and the captains, Go in and put them to death; let not one come out. So they put them to the sword; and, pulling the images to the earth, they went into the holy place of the house of Baal.

bbe@2Kings:10:35 @And Jehu went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:10:36 @And the time of Jehu's rule over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.

bbe@2Kings:11:4 @Then in the seventh year, Jehoiada sent for the captains of hundreds of the Carians, and the armed men, and taking them into the house of the Lord, made an agreement with them, and made them take an oath in the house of the Lord, and let them see the king's son.

bbe@2Kings:11:5 @And he gave them orders, saying, This is what you are to do: the third part of you, who come in on the Sabbath and keep the watch of the king's house,

bbe@2Kings:11:8 @Will make a circle round the king, every man being armed; and whoever comes inside your lines is to be put to death; keep with the king, when he goes out and when he comes in.

bbe@2Kings:11:9 @And the captains of hundreds did as Jehoiada the priest gave them orders; every one took with him his men, those who came in and those who went out on the Sabbath, and they came in to Jehoiada the priest.

bbe@2Kings:11:11 @Then the armed men took up their positions, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, round about the altar and the house

bbe@2Kings:11:12 @Then he made the king's son come out, and put the crown on him and the arm-bands, and made him king, and put the holy oil on him; and they all, making sounds of joy with their hands, said, Long life to the king.

bbe@2Kings:11:13 @Now Athaliah, hearing the noise made by the people, came to the people in the house of the Lord;

bbe@2Kings:11:17 @And Jehoiada made an agreement between the Lord and the king and the people, that they would be the Lord's people; and in the same way between the king and the people.

bbe@2Kings:11:19 @Then he took the captains of hundreds, and the Carians, and the armed men, and all the people of the land; and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord, through the doorway of the armed men, to the king's house. And he took his place on the seat of the kings.

bbe@2Kings:11:21 @And Jehoash was seven years old when he became king.

bbe@2Kings:12:1 @In the seventh year of Jehu's rule, Jehoash became king; and he was ruling for forty years in Jerusalem; his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.

bbe@2Kings:12:4 @And Jehoash said to the priests, All the money of the holy things, which comes into the house of the Lord, (the amount fixed for every man's payment,) and all the money given by any man freely from the impulse of his heart,

bbe@2Kings:12:8 @So the priests made an agreement to take no more money from the people, and not to make good what was damaged in the house.

bbe@2Kings:12:9 @But Jehoiada the priest took a chest, and making a hole in the cover of it, put it by the altar, on the right side when one comes into the house of the Lord; and the priests who kept the door put in it regularly all the money which was taken into the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:12:10 @And when they saw that there was much money in the chest, the king's scribe and the high priest came and put it in bags, noting the amount of all the money there was in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:12:11 @And the money which was measured out they gave regularly to those who were responsible for overseeing the work, and these gave it in payment to the woodworkers and the builders who were working on the house of the Lord,

bbe@2Kings:12:13 @But the money was not used for making silver cups or scissors or basins or wind-instruments or any vessels of gold or silver for the house of the Lord;

bbe@2Kings:12:14 @But it was all given to the workmen who were building up the house.

bbe@2Kings:12:15 @And they did not get any statement of accounts from the men to whom the money was given for the workmen, for they made use of it with good faith.

bbe@2Kings:12:21 @And Jozacar, the son of Shimeath, and Jehozabad, the son of Shomer, his servants, came to him and put him to death; and they put him into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; and Amaziah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:13:1 @In the twenty-third year of Joash, the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for seventeen years.

bbe@2Kings:13:18 @And he said, Take the arrows: and he took them. And he said to the king of Israel, Send them down into the earth; and he did so three times and no more.

bbe@2Kings:16:5 @Then Rezin, king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war; and they made an attack on Ahaz, shutting him in, but were not able to overcome him.

bbe@2Kings:16:6 @At that time the king of Edom got Elath back for Edom, and sent the Jews out of Elath; and the Edomites came back to Elath where they are living to this day.

bbe@2Kings:16:7 @So Ahaz sent representatives to Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, saying, I am your servant and your son; come to my help against the kings of Aram and Israel who have taken up arms against me.

bbe@2Kings:16:10 @Then King Ahaz went to Damascus for a meeting with Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria; and there he saw the altar which was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest a copy of the altar, giving the design of it and all the details of its structure.

bbe@2Kings:16:11 @And from the copy King Ahaz sent from Damascus, Urijah made an altar and had it ready by the time King Ahaz came back from Damascus.

bbe@2Kings:16:12 @And when the king came from Damascus, he saw the altar; and he went up on it and made an offering on it.

bbe@2Kings:16:13 @He made his burned offering and his meal offering and his drink offering there, draining out the blood of his peace-offerings on the altar.

bbe@2Kings:16:15 @And King Ahaz gave orders to Urijah the priest, saying, Make the morning burned offering and the evening meal offering and the king's burned offering and meal offering, with the burned offerings of all the people and their meal offerings and drink offerings, on the great altar, and put on it all the blood of the burned offerings and of the beasts which are offered; but the brass altar will be for my use to get directions from the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:16:20 @And Ahaz went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth with his fathers in the town of David; and Hezekiah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:17:1 @In the twelfth year of Ahaz, king of Judah, Hoshea, the son of Elah, became king over Israel in Samaria, ruling for nine years.

bbe@2Kings:17:3 @Against him came up Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, and Hoshea became his servant and sent him offerings.

bbe@2Kings:17:4 @But Hoshea's broken faith became clear to the king of Assyria because he had sent representatives to So, king of Egypt, and did not send his offering to the king of Assyria, as he had done year by year: so the king of Assyria had him shut up in prison and put in chains.

bbe@2Kings:17:5 @Then the king of Assyria went through all the land and came up to Samaria, shutting it in with his forces for three years.

bbe@2Kings:17:6 @In the ninth year of Hoshea, the king of Assyria took Samaria, and took Israel away to Assyria, placing them in Halah and in Habor on the river Gozan, and in the towns of the Medes.

bbe@2Kings:17:7 @And the wrath of the Lord came on Israel because they had done evil against the Lord their God, who took them out of the land of Egypt from under the yoke of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and had become worshippers of other gods,

bbe@2Kings:17:9 @And the children of Israel did secretly against the Lord their God things which were not right, building high places for themselves in all their towns, from the tower of the watchmen to the walled town.

bbe@2Kings:17:13 @And he gave witness to Israel and Judah, by every prophet and seer, saying, Come back from your evil ways, and do my orders and keep my rules, and be guided by the law which I gave to your fathers and sent to you by my servants the prophets.

bbe@2Kings:17:14 @And they did not give ear, but became stiff-necked, like their fathers who had no faith in the Lord their God.

bbe@2Kings:17:15 @And they went against his rules, and the agreement which he made with their fathers, and his laws which he gave them; they gave themselves up to things without sense or value, and became foolish like the nations round them, of whom the Lord had said, Do not as they do.

bbe@2Kings:17:16 @And turning their backs on all the orders which the Lord had given them, they made for themselves images of metal, and the image of Asherah, worshipping all the stars of heaven and becoming servants to Baal.

bbe@2Kings:17:24 @Then the king of Assyria took men from Babylon and from Cuthah and Avva and Hamath and Sepharvaim, and put them in the towns of Samaria in place of the children of Israel; so they got Samaria for their heritage, living in its towns.

bbe@2Kings:17:25 @Now when first they were living there they did not give worship to the Lord. So the Lord sent lions among them, causing the death of some of them.

bbe@2Kings:17:28 @So one of the priests whom they had taken away as a prisoner from Samaria came back, and, living in Beth-el, became their teacher in the worship of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:17:30 @The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

bbe@2Kings:17:31 @The Avvites made Nibhaz and Tartak, and the Sepharvites gave their children to be burned in the fire to Adrammelech and Anammelech, the gods of Sepharvaim.

bbe@2Kings:17:34 @So to this day they go on in their old ways, not worshipping the Lord or keeping his orders or his ways or the law and the rule which the Lord gave to the children of Jacob, to whom he gave the name Israel;

bbe@2Kings:17:35 @And the Lord made an agreement with them and gave them orders, saying, You are to have no other gods; you are not to give worship to them or be their servants or make them offerings:

bbe@2Kings:17:38 @And you are to keep in memory the agreement which I have made with you; and you are to have no other gods.

bbe@2Kings:17:41 @So these nations, worshipping the Lord, still were servants to the images they had made; their children and their children's children did the same; as their fathers did, so do they, to this day.

bbe@2Kings:18:1 @Now in the third year of Hoshea, son of Elah, king of Israel, Hezekiah, the son of Ahaz, became king of Judah.

bbe@2Kings:18:2 @He was twenty-five years old when he became king, ruling in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; his mother's name was Abi, the daughter of Zechariah.

bbe@2Kings:18:4 @He had the high places taken away, and the stone pillars broken to bits, and the Asherah cut down; and the brass snake which Moses had made was crushed to powder at his order, because in those days the children of Israel had offerings burned before it, and he gave it the name Nehushtan.

bbe@2Kings:18:8 @He overcame the Philistines as far as Gaza and its limits, from the tower of the watchman to the walled town.

bbe@2Kings:18:9 @Now in the fourth year of King Hezekiah, which was the seventh year of Hoshea, son of Elah, king of Israel, Shalmaneser, king of Assyria, came up against Samaria, shutting it in with his armies.

bbe@2Kings:18:11 @And the king of Assyria took Israel away as prisoners into Assyria, placing them in Halah and in Habor on the river Gozan, and in the towns of the Medes;

bbe@2Kings:18:12 @Because they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord their God, but went against his agreement, even against everything ordered by Moses, the servant of the Lord, and they did not give ear to it or do it.

bbe@2Kings:18:13 @Now in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came up against all the walled towns of Judah and took them.

bbe@2Kings:18:14 @And Hezekiah, king of Judah, sent to Lachish, to the king of Assyria, saying, I have done wrong; give up attacking me, and whatever you put on me I will undergo. And the payment he was to make was fixed by the king of Assyria at three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold.

bbe@2Kings:18:16 @And at that time Hezekiah had the gold from the doors of the Lord's house, and from the door-pillars plated by him, cut off and gave it to the king of Assyria.

bbe@2Kings:18:17 @Then the king of Assyria sent the Tartan and the Rab-saris and the Rab-shakeh from Lachish to Jerusalem, to King Hezekiah, with a strong force. And they went up and came to Jerusalem, and took up their position by the stream of the higher pool, by the highway of the washerman's field.

bbe@2Kings:18:18 @And they sent for the king, and Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came out to them.

bbe@2Kings:18:22 @And if you say to me, Our hope is in the Lord our God: is it not he, whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away, saying to Judah and Jerusalem that worship may only be given before this altar in Jerusalem?

bbe@2Kings:18:23 @And now, take a chance with my master, the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able to put horsemen on them.

bbe@2Kings:18:24 @How then may you put to shame the least of my master's servants? and you have put your hope in Egypt for war-carriages and horsemen:

bbe@2Kings:18:25 @And have I now come up to send destruction on this place without the Lord's authority? It was the Lord himself who said to me, Go up against this land and make it waste.

bbe@2Kings:18:27 @But the Rab-shakeh said to them, Is it to your master or to you that my master has sent me to say these words? has he not sent me to the men seated on the wall? for they are the people who will be short of food with you when the town is shut in.

bbe@2Kings:18:31 @Do not give ear to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says: Make peace with me and come out to me; and everyone will be free to take the fruit of his vine and of his fig-tree, and the water of his spring;

bbe@2Kings:18:32 @Till I come and take you away to a land like yours, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vine-gardens, a land of oil-giving olives and of honey, so that life and not death may be your fate. Give no attention to Hezekiah when he says to you, The Lord will keep us safe.

bbe@2Kings:18:37 @Then Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah, with their clothing parted as a sign of grief, and gave him an account of what the Rab-shakeh had said.

bbe@2Kings:19:3 @And they said to him, Hezekiah says, This day is a day of trouble and punishment and shame; for the children are ready to come to birth, but there is no strength to give birth to them.

bbe@2Kings:19:4 @It may be that the Lord your God will give ear to the words of the Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his master, sent to say evil things against the living God, and will make his words come to nothing: so then make your prayer for the rest of the people.

bbe@2Kings:19:5 @So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

bbe@2Kings:19:6 @And Isaiah said to them, This is what you are to say to your master: The Lord says, Be not troubled by the words which the servants of the king of Assyria have said against me in your hearing.

bbe@2Kings:19:7 @See, I will put a spirit into him, and bad news will come to his ears, and he will go back to his land; and there I will have him put to death by the sword.

bbe@2Kings:19:8 @So the Rab-shakeh went back, and when he got there the king of Assyria was making war against Libnah, for it had come to his ears that he had gone away from Lachish.

bbe@2Kings:19:9 @And when news came to him that Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, had made an attack on him, he sent representatives to Hezekiah again, saying,

bbe@2Kings:19:11 @No doubt the story has come to your ears of what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, putting them to the curse; and will you be kept safe?

bbe@2Kings:19:14 @And Hezekiah took the letter from the hands of those who had come with it; and after reading it, Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord, opening the letter there before the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:19:16 @Let your ear be turned to us, O Lord, and let your eyes be open, O Lord, and see; take note of all the words of Sennacherib who has sent men to say evil against the living God.

bbe@2Kings:19:18 @And have given their gods to the fire; for they were no gods, but wood and stone, the work of men's hands; so they have given them to destruction.

bbe@2Kings:19:20 @Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, The prayer which you have made to me against Sennacherib, king of Assyria, has come to my ears.

bbe@2Kings:19:21 @This is the word which the Lord has said about him: In the eyes of the virgin daughter of Zion you are shamed and laughed at; the daughter of Jerusalem has made sport of you.

bbe@2Kings:19:23 @You have sent your servants with evil words against the Lord, and have said, With all my war-carriages I have come up to the top of the mountains, to the inmost parts of Lebanon; its tall cedars will be cut down, and the best trees of its woods; I will come up into his highest places, into his thick woods.

bbe@2Kings:19:25 @Has it not come to your ears how I did it long before, purposing it in times long past? Now I have given effect to my design, so that by you strong towns might be turned into masses of broken walls.

bbe@2Kings:19:26 @This is why their townsmen had no power, they were broken and put to shame; they were like the grass of the field and the green plant, like grass on the house-tops.

bbe@2Kings:19:28 @Because your wrath against me and your words of pride have come up to my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my cord in your lips, and I will make you go back by the way you came.

bbe@2Kings:19:29 @And this will be the sign to you: you will get your food this year from what comes up of itself; and in the second year from the produce of the same; and in the third year you will put in your seed and get in the grain and make vine-gardens and take of their fruit.

bbe@2Kings:19:32 @For this cause the Lord says about the king of Assyria, He will not come into this town, or send an arrow against it; he will not come before it with arms, or put up an earthwork against it;

bbe@2Kings:19:33 @By the way he came he will go back, and he will not get into this town, says the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:19:35 @And that night the angel of the Lord went out and put to death in the army of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand men; and when the people got up early in the morning, there was nothing to be seen but dead bodies.

bbe@2Kings:19:37 @And it came about, when he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to death with the sword; and they went in flight into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:20:1 @In those days Hezekiah was ill and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, The Lord says, Put your house in order, for your death is near.

bbe@2Kings:20:4 @Now before Isaiah had gone out of the middle of the town, the word of the Lord came to him, saying,

bbe@2Kings:20:5 @Go back and say to Hezekiah, the ruler of my people, The Lord, the God of David your father, says, Your prayer has come to my ears, and I have seen your weeping; see, I will make you well: on the third day you will go up to the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:20:8 @And Hezekiah said to Isaiah, What is to be the sign that the Lord will make me well, and that I will go up to the house of the Lord on the third day?

bbe@2Kings:20:12 @At that time, Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill

bbe@2Kings:20:14 @Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah and said to him, What did these men say and where did they come from? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country, even from Babylon.

bbe@2Kings:20:19 @Then Hezekiah said to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which you have said. Then he said,... if in my time there is peace and righteousness?

bbe@2Kings:20:21 @And Hezekiah went to rest with his fathers; and Manasseh his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:21:1 @Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king; for fifty-five years he was ruling in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Hephzi-bah.

bbe@2Kings:21:4 @And he put up altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.

bbe@2Kings:21:7 @He put the image of Asherah which he had made in the house of which the Lord had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my name for ever.

bbe@2Kings:21:12 @For this cause, says the Lord, the God of Israel, I will send such evil on Jerusalem and Judah that the ears of all to whom the news comes will be burning.

bbe@2Kings:21:14 @And I will put away from me the rest of my heritage, and give them up into the hands of their haters, who will take their property and their goods for themselves;

bbe@2Kings:21:15 @Because they have done evil in my eyes, moving me to wrath, from the day when their fathers came out of Egypt till this day.

bbe@2Kings:21:16 @More than this, Manasseh took the lives of upright men, till Jerusalem from one end to the other was full of blood; in addition to his sin in making Judah do evil in the eyes of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:21:18 @So Manasseh went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the garden of his house, in the garden of Uzza; and Amon his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:21:19 @Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, ruling in Jerusalem for two years; his mother's name was Meshullemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotbah.

bbe@2Kings:21:26 @He was put in his last resting-place in the garden of Uzza, and Josiah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Kings:22:1 @Josiah was eight years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for thirty-one years; his mother's name was Jedidah, daughter of Adaiah of Bozkath.

bbe@2Kings:22:3 @Now in the eighteenth year after he became king, Josiah sent Shaphan, the son of Azaliah, the son of Meshullam, the scribe, to the house of the Lord, saying to him,

bbe@2Kings:22:5 @And let it be given to the overseers of the work of the Lord's house, to give to the workmen who are making good what was damaged in the house of the Lord;

bbe@2Kings:22:10 @Then Shaphan the scribe said to the king, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book; and he was reading it before the king.

bbe@2Kings:22:13 @Go and get directions from the Lord for me and for the people and for all Judah, about the words of this book which has come to light; for great is the wrath of the Lord which is burning against us, because our fathers have not given ear to the words of this book, to do all the things which are recorded in it.

bbe@2Kings:22:15 @And she said to them, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, Say to the man who sent you to me,

bbe@2Kings:22:17 @Because they have given me up, burning offerings to other gods and moving me to wrath by all the work of their hands; so my wrath will be on fire against this place, and will not be put out.

bbe@2Kings:22:18 @But to the king of Judah who sent you to get directions from the Lord, say, This is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said: As to the words which have come to your ears,

bbe@2Kings:22:19 @Because your heart was soft, and you made yourself low before me, when you had word of what I said against this place and its people, that they would become a waste and a curse, and you gave signs of grief, weeping before me: truly, I have given ear to you, says the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:23:1 @Then the king sent and got together all the responsible men of Judah and of Jerusalem.

bbe@2Kings:23:2 @And the king went up to the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah and all the people of Jerusalem, and the priests and the prophets and all the people, small and great; and they were present at his reading of the book of the law which had come to light in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Kings:23:3 @And the king took his place by the pillar, and made an agreement before the Lord, to go in the way of the Lord, and keep his orders and his decisions and his rules with all his heart and all his soul, and to keep the words of the agreement recorded in the book; and all the people gave their word to keep the agreement.

bbe@2Kings:23:7 @And he had the houses pulled down of those who were used for sex purposes in the house of the Lord, where women were making robes for the Asherah.

bbe@2Kings:23:8 @And he made all the priests from the towns of Judah come into Jerusalem, and he made unclean the high places where the priests had been burning offerings, from Geba to Beer-sheba; and he had the high places of the evil spirits pulled down which were by the doorway of Joshua, the ruler of the town, on the left side of the way into the town.

bbe@2Kings:23:9 @Still the priests of the high places never came up to the altar of the Lord in Jerusalem; but they took their food of unleavened bread among their brothers.

bbe@2Kings:23:17 @What is that headstone I see over there? And the men of the town said to him, It is the resting-place of the man of God who came from Judah and gave word of all these things which you have done to the altar of Beth-el.

bbe@1Chronicles:11:26 @And these were the great men of war: Asahel, the brother of Joab, Elhanan, the son of Dodo of Beth-lehem,

bbe@1Chronicles:11:36 @Hepher the Mecherathite, Ahijah the Pelonite,

bbe@1Chronicles:11:37 @Hezro the Carmelite, Naarai, the son of Ezbai,

bbe@1Chronicles:11:47 @Eliel and Obed, and Jaasiel the Mezobaite.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:1 @Now these are the men who came to David at Ziklag, while he was still shut up, because of Saul, the son of Kish; they were among the strong men, his helpers in war.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:2 @They were armed with bows, and were able to send stones, and arrows from the bow, with right hand or left: they were Saul's brothers, of Benjamin.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:8 @And some of the Gadites, siding with David, went to his strong place in the waste land, great and strong men, trained for war, expert in the use of arms, whose faces were like the faces of lions, and they were quick-footed like roes on the mountains;

bbe@1Chronicles:12:14 @These Gadites were captains of the army; the least of them was captain over a hundred men, and the greatest over a thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:16 @And some of the children of Benjamin and Judah came to David in his strong place.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:17 @And David went out to them, and said to them, If you have come in peace to give me help, my heart will be united with yours; but if you have come to give me up to those who would take my life, though my hands are clean from wrongdoing, then may the God of our fathers see it and give you punishment.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:18 @Then the spirit came on Amasai, who was chief of the captains, and he said, We are yours, David, we are on your side, O son of Jesse: may peace be with you and peace be with your helpers; for God is your helper. Then David took them into his army and made them captains of the band.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:19 @And some of the men of Manasseh came over to David, when he went with the Philistines to the war against Saul, but he gave them no help: for the lords of the Philistines, after discussion, sent him away, saying, He will go back to his master Saul, at the price of our lives.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:20 @Then when he went back to Ziklag, there came over to him, of the men of Manasseh, Adnah and Jozabad and Jediael and Michael and Jozabad and Elihu and Zillethai, captains of thousands from the armies of Manasseh.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:21 @And they gave David help against the armed bands, for they were all great men of war, and captains in the army.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:22 @And from day to day more supporters came to David, till he had a great army like the army of God.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:23 @These are the numbers of the chiefs of the armed men, ready for war, who came to David at Hebron, to give the kingdom of Saul into his hands, as the Lord had said.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:24 @There were six thousand, eight hundred spearmen of the children of Judah, armed for war;

bbe@1Chronicles:12:25 @Seven thousand, one hundred of the children of Simeon, great men of war;

bbe@1Chronicles:12:27 @And Jehoiada, chief of the family of Aaron, and with him three thousand, seven hundred men;

bbe@1Chronicles:12:29 @And of the children of Benjamin, the brothers of Saul, three thousand; for up to that time the greater part of them had been true to Saul.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:30 @And of the children of Ephraim, twenty thousand, eight hundred great men of war, men of great name in their families.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:31 @And from the half-tribe of Manasseh, eighteen thousand, listed by name, came to make David king.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:32 @And of the children of Issachar, there were two hundred chiefs, men who had expert knowledge of the times and what it was best for Israel to do, and all their brothers were under their orders.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:33 @Of Zebulun, there were fifty thousand men, who went out with the army, expert in ordering the fight, to give help with all sorts of arms; true-hearted men.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:34 @And of Naphtali, a thousand captains with thirty-seven thousand spearmen.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:37 @From the other side of Jordan, there were a hundred and twenty thousand of the Reubenites and the Gadites and the men of the half-tribe of Manasseh, armed with every sort of instrument of war.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:38 @All these men of war, expert in ordering the fight, came to Hebron with the full purpose of making David king over all Israel; and all the rest of Israel were united in their desire to make David king.

bbe@1Chronicles:12:40 @And those who were near, as far as Issachar and Zebulun and Naphtali, came with food on asses and camels and mules and oxen, with meal for food and cakes of figs and masses of grapes, and wine and oil and oxen and sheep in great numbers, for there was joy in Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:2 @And David said to all the men of Israel who had come together there, If it seems good to you and if it is the purpose of the Lord our God, let us send to all the rest of our brothers, everywhere in the land of Israel, and to the priests and the Levites in their towns and the country round them, and get them to come together here to us;

bbe@1Chronicles:13:4 @And all the people said they would do so, for it seemed right to them.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:5 @So David sent for all Israel to come together, from Shihor, the river of Egypt, as far as the way into Hamath, to get the ark of God from Kiriath-jearim.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:6 @And David went up, with all Israel, to Baalah, that is, to Kiriath-jearim in Judah, to get up from there the ark of God, over which the holy Name is named, the name of the Lord whose place is between the winged ones.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:8 @Then David and all Israel made melody before God with all their strength, with songs and corded instruments of music, and with brass instruments and horns.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:9 @And when they came to the grain-floor of Chidon, Uzza put out his hand to keep the ark in its place, for the oxen were slipping.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:10 @And the wrath of the Lord, burning against Uzza, sent destruction on him because he had put his hand on the ark, and death came to him there before God.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:11 @And David was angry because of the Lord's outburst of wrath against Uzza, and he gave that place the name Perez-uzza, to this day.

bbe@1Chronicles:13:12 @And so great was David's fear of God that day, that he said, How may I let the ark of God come to me?

bbe@1Chronicles:13:13 @So David did not let the ark come back to him to the town of David, but had it turned away and put into the house of Obed-edom the Gittite.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:1 @And Hiram, king of Tyre, sent men to David with cedar-trees, and stoneworkers and woodworkers for the building of his house.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:3 @And while he was living in Jerusalem, David took more wives and became the father of more sons and daughters.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:4 @These are the names of the children he had in Jerusalem: Shammua and Shobab, Nathan and Solomon

bbe@1Chronicles:14:9 @Now the Philistines had come, and had gone out in every direction in the valley of Rephaim.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:11 @So they went up to Baal-perazim, and David overcame them there, and David said, God has let the forces fighting against me be broken by my hand, as a wall is broken down by rushing water; so they gave that place the name of Baal-perazim.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:14 @And David went for directions to God; and God said to him, You are not to go up after them; but, turning away from them, come face to face with them opposite the spice-trees.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:15 @And at the sound of footsteps in the tops of the trees, go out to the fight, for God has gone out before you to overcome the army of the Philistines.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:16 @And David did as the Lord had said; and they overcame the army of the Philistines, attacking them from Gibeon as far as Gezer.

bbe@1Chronicles:14:17 @And David's name was honoured in all lands; and the Lord put the fear of him on all nations

bbe@1Chronicles:15:3 @And David made all Israel come together at Jerusalem, to take the ark of the Lord to its place, which he had got ready for it.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:6 @Of the sons of Merari: Asaiah the chief, and his brothers, two hundred and twenty;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:13 @For because you did not take it at the first, the Lord our God sent punishment on us, because we did not get directions from him in the right way.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:16 @And David gave orders to the chief of the Levites to put their brothers the music-makers in position, with instruments of music, corded instruments and brass, with glad voices making sounds of joy.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:17 @So Heman, the son of Joel, and, of his brothers, Asaph, the son of Berechiah; and of the sons of Merari their brothers, Ethan, the son of Kushaiah, were put in position by the Levites;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:19 @So those who made melody, Heman, Asaph, and Ethan, were put in position, with brass instruments, sounding loudly;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:20 @And Zechariah and Aziel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel, Unni and Eliab and Maaseiah and Benaiah, with corded instruments put to Alamoth.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:21 @And Mattithiah and Eliphelehu and Mikneiah and Obed-edom and Jeiel and Azaziah, with corded instruments on the octave, to give the first note of the song.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:25 @So David, and the responsible men of Israel, and the captains over thousands, went with joy to get the ark of the agreement of the Lord out of the house of Obed-edom.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:26 @And when God gave help to the Levites who were lifting up the ark of the agreement of the Lord, they made an offering of seven oxen and seven sheep.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:27 @And David was clothed with a robe of fair linen, as were all the Levites who took up the ark, and those who made melody, and Chenaniah the master of those who made melody; and David had on a linen ephod;

bbe@1Chronicles:15:28 @So all Israel took up the ark of the agreement of the Lord, with loud cries and with horns and brass and corded instruments sounding loudly.

bbe@1Chronicles:15:29 @And when the ark of the agreement of the Lord came into the town of David, Michal, the daughter of Saul, looking out of the window, saw King David dancing and playing; and to her mind he seemed foolish.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:2 @And when David had come to an end of making the burned offerings and peace-offerings, he gave the people a blessing in the name of the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:3 @And he gave to everyone, every man and woman of Israel, a cake of bread, some meat, and a cake of dry grapes.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:4 @And he put some of the Levites before the ark of the Lord as servants, to keep the acts of the Lord in memory, and to give worship and praise to the Lord, the God of Israel:

bbe@1Chronicles:16:5 @Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Uzziel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel and Mattithiah and Eliab and Benaiah and Obed-edom and Jeiel, with corded instruments of music; and Asaph, with brass instruments sounding loudly;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:6 @And Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests, blowing horns all the time before the ark of the agreement of God.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:8 @O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:9 @Let your voice be sounded in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:10 @Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:15 @He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:16 @The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:17 @And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:18 @Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:

bbe@1Chronicles:16:29 @Give to the Lord the glory of his name; take with you an offering and come before him; give worship to the Lord in holy robes.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:33 @Then let all the trees of the wood be sounding with joy before the Lord, for he is come to be the judge of the earth.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:34 @O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:35 @And say, Be our saviour, O God of our salvation, and let us come back, and give us salvation from the nations, so that we may give honour to your holy name and have glory in your praise.

bbe@1Chronicles:16:37 @So he made Asaph and his brothers keep their places there before the ark of the agreement of the Lord, to do whatever had to be done before the ark at all times day by day:

bbe@1Chronicles:16:41 @And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were marked out by name to give praise to the Lord, for his mercy is unchanging for ever;

bbe@1Chronicles:16:42 @And Heman and Jeduthun had horns and brass instruments sounding loudly, and instruments of music for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun were to be at the door.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:1 @Now when David was living in his house, he said to Nathan the prophet, See, I am living in a house of cedar-wood, but the ark of the Lord's agreement is under the curtains of a tent.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:3 @But that same night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

bbe@1Chronicles:17:4 @Go and say to David my servant, The Lord says, You are not to make me a house for my living-place:

bbe@1Chronicles:17:6 @In all the places where I have gone with all Israel, did I ever say to any of the judges of Israel, whom I made the keepers of my people, Why have you not made for me a house of cedar?

bbe@1Chronicles:17:8 @And I have been with you wherever you went, cutting off before you all those who were against you; and I will make your name like the name of the greatest ones of the earth.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:9 @And I will make a resting-place for my people Israel, planting them there, so that they may be in the place which is theirs and never again be moved; and never again will they be made waste by evil men, as they were at first,

bbe@1Chronicles:17:10 @From the time when I put judges over my people Israel; and I will overcome all those who are against you; and I will make you great and the head of a line of kings.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:11 @And when the time comes for you to go to your fathers, I will put in your place your seed after you, one of your sons, and I will make his kingdom strong.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:13 @I will be to him a father and he will be to me a son; and I will not take my mercy away from him as I took it from him who was before you;

bbe@1Chronicles:17:17 @And this was only a small thing to you, O God; but your words have even been about the far-off future of your servant's family, looking on me as on one of high position, O Lord God.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:20 @O Lord, there is no one like you, and no other God but you, as is clear from everything which has come to our ears.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:21 @And what other nation in the earth, like your people Israel, did a god go out to take for himself, to be his people, making his name great and to be feared, driving out the nations from before your people whom you made free and took out of Egypt?

bbe@1Chronicles:17:22 @For your people Israel you made yours for ever; and you, Lord, became their God.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:24 @So let your words be made certain and your name be made great, when men say, The Lord of armies is the God of Israel; and when the family of David your servant is made strong before you.

bbe@1Chronicles:17:25 @For you, O my God, have let your servant see that you will make him head of a line of kings; and so it has come into your servant's heart to make his prayer to you.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:1 @And it came about after this that David made an attack on the Philistines and overcame them, and took Gath with its daughter-towns out of the hands of the Philistines.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:2 @And he overcame Moab, and the Moabites became his servants and gave him offerings.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:3 @Then David overcame Hadadezer, king of Zobah, near Hamath, when he was going to make his power seen by the river Euphrates.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:4 @And David took from him a thousand war-carriages and seven thousand horsemen and twenty thousand footmen: and he had the leg-muscles of all the horses cut, keeping only enough of them for a hundred war-carriages.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:5 @And when the Aramaeans of Damascus came to the help of Hadadezer, king of Zobah, David put to the sword twenty-two thousand Aramaeans.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:6 @Then David put armed forces in Damascus, and the Aramaeans became his servants and gave him offerings. And the Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:9 @Now when Tou, king of Hamath, had news that David had overcome all the army of Hadadezer, king of Zobah,

bbe@1Chronicles:18:10 @He sent his son Hadoram to King David, to give him words of peace and blessing, because he had overcome Hadadezer in the fight, for Hadadezer had been at war with Tou; and he gave him all sorts of vessels of gold and silver and brass

bbe@1Chronicles:18:12 @And when he came back from putting to the sword eighteen thousand of the Edomites in the Valley of Salt,

bbe@1Chronicles:18:13 @David put armed forces in all the towns of Edom; and all the Edomites became servants to David. The Lord made David overcome wherever he went.

bbe@1Chronicles:18:16 @And Zadok, the son of Ahitub; and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, were priests; and Shavsha was the scribe;

bbe@1Chronicles:19:1 @Now it came about after this that death came to Nahash, the king of the children of Ammon, and his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:2 @And David said, I will be a friend to Hanun, the son of Nahash, because his father was a friend to me. So David sent men to him, to give him words of comfort on account of his father. And the servants of David came to Hanun, to the land of the children of Ammon, offering him comfort.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:3 @But the chiefs of the children of Ammon said to Hanun, Does it seem to you that David is honouring your father, by sending comforters to you? is it not clear that these men have only come to go through the land and to make secret observation of it so that they may overcome it?

bbe@1Chronicles:19:5 @Then certain men went and gave David word of what had been done to them. And he sent out with the purpose of meeting them; for the men were greatly shamed. And the king said, Keep where you are at Jericho till your hair is long again, and then come back.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:6 @And when the children of Ammon saw that they had made themselves hated by David, Hanun and the children of Ammon sent a thousand talents of silver as payment for war-carriages and horsemen from Mesopotamia and Aram-maacah and Zobah.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:7 @So with this money they got thirty-two thousand war-carriages, and the help of the king of Maacah and his people, who came and took up their position in front of Medeba. And the children of Ammon came together from their towns for the fight.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:8 @And David, hearing of it, sent Joab with all the army of fighting-men.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:9 @So the children of Ammon came out and put their forces in position on the way into the town; and the kings who had come were stationed by themselves in the field.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:10 @Now when Joab saw that their forces were in position against him in front and at his back, he took all the best men of Israel, and put them in line against the Aramaeans;

bbe@1Chronicles:19:12 @And he said, If the Aramaeans are stronger and get the better of me, then come to my help; and if the children of Ammon get the better of you, I will come to your help.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:15 @And when the children of Ammon saw the flight of the Aramaeans, they themselves went in flight from Abishai, his brother, and came into the town. Then Joab came back to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:16 @And when the Aramaeans saw that Israel had overcome them, they sent men to get the Aramaeans who were on the other side of the River, with Shophach, the captain of Hadadezer's army, at their head.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:17 @And word of this was given to David; and he got all Israel together and went over Jordan and came to Helam and put his forces in position against them. And when David's forces were in position against the Aramaeans, the fight was started.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:18 @And the Aramaeans went in flight before Israel; and David put to the sword the men of seven thousand Aramaean war-carriages and forty thousand footmen, and put to death Shophach, the captain of the army.

bbe@1Chronicles:19:19 @And when the servants of Hadadezer saw that they were overcome by Israel, they made peace with David and became his servants: and the Aramaeans would give no more help to the children of Ammon.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:1 @Now in the spring, at the time when kings go out to war, Joab went out at the head of the armed forces and made waste all the land of the Ammonites and put his men in position before Rabbah, shutting it in. But David was still at Jerusalem. And Joab took Rabbah and made it waste.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:3 @And he took the people out of the town and put them to work with wood-cutting instruments, and iron grain-crushers, and axes. And this he did to all the towns of the children of Ammon. Then David and all the people went back to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:4 @Now after this there was war with the Philistines at Gezer; then Sibbecai the Hushathite put to death Sippai, one of the offspring of the Rephaim; and they were overcome.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:7 @And when he put shame on Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shimea, David's brother, put him to death.

bbe@1Chronicles:20:8 @These were of the offspring of the Rephaim in Gath; they came to their death by the hands of David and his servants.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:2 @And David said to Joab and the captains of the people, Now let all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, be numbered; and give me word so that I may be certain of their number.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:3 @And Joab said, May the Lord make his people a hundred times more in number than they are; but, my lord king, are they not all my lord's servants? why would my lord have this done? why will he become a cause of sin to Israel?

bbe@1Chronicles:21:4 @But the king's word was stronger than Joab's. So Joab went out and went through all Israel and came to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:5 @And Joab gave David the number of all the people; all the men of Israel, able to take up arms, were one million, one hundred thousand men; and those of Judah were four hundred and seventy thousand men, able to take up arms.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:7 @And God was not pleased with this thing; so he sent punishment on Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:9 @Then the word of the Lord came to Gad, David's seer, saying,

bbe@1Chronicles:21:11 @So Gad came to David and said to him, The Lord says, Take whichever you will:

bbe@1Chronicles:21:12 @Three years when there will not be enough food; or three months of war, when you will go in flight before your haters, being in great danger of the sword; or three days of the sword of the Lord, disease in the land, and the angel of the Lord taking destruction through all the land of Israel. Now give thought to the answer I am to take back to him who sent me.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:13 @And David said to Gad, This is a hard decision for me to make: let me come into the hands of the Lord, for great are his mercies: let me not come into the hands of men.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:14 @So the Lord sent disease on Israel, causing the death of seventy thousand men

bbe@1Chronicles:21:16 @And David, lifting up his eyes, saw the angel of the Lord there between earth and heaven, with an uncovered sword in his hand stretched out over Jerusalem. Then David and the responsible men, clothed in haircloth, went down on their faces.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:17 @And David said to God, Was it not I who gave the order for the people to be numbered? It is I who have done the sin and the great wrong; but these are only sheep; what have they done? let your hand, O Lord God, be lifted up against me and against my family, but not against your people to send disease on them.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:19 @And David went up, as Gad had said in the name of the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:21 @And when David came, Ornan, looking, saw him, and came out from the grain-floor and went down on his face to the earth before him.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:22 @Then David said to Ornan, Give me the place where this grain-floor is, so that I may put up an altar here to the Lord: let me have it for its full price; so that this disease may be stopped among the people.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:23 @And Ornan said to David, Take it, and let my lord the king do what seems right to him. See, I give you the oxen for burned offerings and the grain-cleaning instruments for fire-wood, and the grain for the meal offering; I give it all.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:24 @And King David said to Ornan, No; I will certainly give you the full price for it, because I will not take for the Lord what is yours, or give a burned offering without payment.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:28 @At that time, when David saw that the Lord had given him an answer on the grain-floor of Ornan the Jebusite, he made an offering there.

bbe@1Chronicles:21:29 @For the House of the Lord, which Moses had made in the waste land, and the altar of burned offerings, were at that time in the high place at Gibeon.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:2 @And David gave orders to get together all the men from strange lands who were in the land of Israel; and he put stone-cutters to work, cutting stones for building the house of God.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:3 @And he got together a great store of iron, for the nails for the doors and for the joins; and brass, more in weight than might be measured;

bbe@1Chronicles:22:4 @And cedar-trees without number, for the Zidonians and the men of Tyre came with a great amount of cedar-trees for David.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:7 @And David said to Solomon, My son, it was my desire to put up a house for the name of the Lord my God.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:8 @But the word of the Lord came to me saying, You have taken lives without number and made great wars; I will not let you be the builder of a house for my name, because of the lives you have taken on the earth before my eyes.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:9 @But you will have a son who will be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from wars on every side. His name will be Solomon, and in his time I will give Israel peace and quiet;

bbe@1Chronicles:22:10 @He will be the builder of a house for my name; he will be to me a son, and I will be to him a father; and I will make the seat of his rule over Israel certain for ever.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:14 @Now see, poor though I am, I have got ready for the house of the Lord a hundred thousand talents of gold and a million talents of silver; and a weight of brass and iron greater than may be measured; and wood and stone have I made ready, and you may put more to it.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:15 @And you have a great number of workmen, cutters and workers of stone and wood, and experts in every sort of work,

bbe@1Chronicles:22:18 @Is not the Lord your God with you? and has he not given you rest on every side? for the Lord has given the people of the land into my hands, and the land is overcome before the Lord and before his people.

bbe@1Chronicles:22:19 @Now give your heart and soul to the worship of the Lord your God; and get to work on the building of the holy place of the Lord God, so that you may put the ark of the Lord's agreement and the holy vessels of God in the house which is to be made for the name of the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:4 @Of these, twenty-four thousand were to be overseers of the work of the house of the Lord, and six thousand were judges and men of authority;

bbe@1Chronicles:23:5 @Four thousand were door-keepers; and four thousand gave praise to the Lord with the instruments which I made, said David, for giving praise.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:6 @And David put them into divisions under the names of the sons of Levi: Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:7 @Of the Gershonites: Ladan and Shimei.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:9 @The sons of Shimei: Shelomoth and Haziel and Haran, three; these were the heads of the families of Ladan.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:10 @And the sons of Shimei: Jahath, Zizah and Jeush and Beriah; these four were the sons of Shimei.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:13 @The sons of Amram: Aaron and Moses; and Aaron was made separate and holy, he and his sons for ever, for the care of the most holy things and the burning of offerings before the Lord, to do his work and give blessings in his name for ever.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:19 @The sons of Hebron: Jeriah the first, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, and Jekameam the fourth.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:21 @The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; the sons of Mahli: Eleazar and Kish.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:24 @These were the sons of Levi, grouped by families, the heads of the families of those who were numbered by name, by heads, all those of twenty years old and over who did the work of the house of the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:23:29 @The holy bread was in their care, and the crushed grain for the meal offering, of unleavened cakes or meal cooked over the fire or in water; they had control of all sorts of weights and measures;

bbe@1Chronicles:23:30 @They had to take their places every morning to give praise and make melody to the Lord, and in the same way at evening;

bbe@1Chronicles:23:31 @At every offering of burned offerings to the Lord, on Sabbaths, and at the new moons, and on the regular feasts, in the number ordered by the law, at all times before the Lord;

bbe@1Chronicles:23:32 @And they had the care of the Tent of meeting and the holy place, under the direction of the sons of Aaron their brothers, for the work of the house of the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:2 @But Nadab and Abihu came to their end before their father, and had no children; so Eleazar and Ithamar did the work of priests.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:3 @And David, with Zadok of the sons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the sons of Ithamar, made distribution of them into their positions for their work.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:6 @And Shemaiah, the son of Nethanel the scribe, who was a Levite, put down their names in writing, the king being present with the rulers, and Zadok the priest, and Ahimelech, the son of Abiathar, and the heads of families of the priests and the Levites; one family being taken for Eleazar and then one for Ithamar, and so on.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:7 @Now the first name to come out was that of Jehoiarib; the second Jedaiah,

bbe@1Chronicles:24:14 @The fifteenth Bilgah, the sixteenth Immer,

bbe@1Chronicles:24:19 @So they were put into their different groups, to take their places in the house of the Lord, in agreement with the rules made by Aaron their father, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had given him orders.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:23 @And the sons of Hebron: Jeriah the chief, Amariah the second, Jahaziel the third, Jekameam the fourth.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:26 @The sons of Merari: Mahli and Mushi; the sons of Jaaziah.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:27 @The sons of Merari: of Jaaziah, Shoham and Zaccur and Ibri.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:29 @Of Kish: the sons of Kish, Jerahmeel.

bbe@1Chronicles:24:31 @Selection was made of these in the same way as of their brothers the sons of Aaron, David the king being present, with Zadok, and Ahimelech, and the heads of families of the priests and of the Levites; the families of the chief in the same way as those of his younger brother.

bbe@1Chronicles:25:1 @Further, David and the chiefs of the servants of the holy place made selection of certain of the sons of Asaph and of Heman and of Jeduthun for the work of prophets, to make melody with corded instruments and brass; and the number of the men for the work they had to do was:

bbe@1Chronicles:25:3 @Of Jeduthun: the six sons of Jeduthun, Gedaliah and Zeri and Jeshaiah, Hashabiah and Mattithiah; under the direction of their father Jeduthun who, acting as a prophet, with corded instruments gave praise and glory to the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:25:6 @All these, under the direction of their father, made music in the house of the Lord, with brass and corded instruments, for the worship of the house of God; Asaph, Jeduthun, and Heman being under the orders of the king.

bbe@1Chronicles:25:7 @And the number of them, with their brothers who were trained and expert in making melody to the Lord, was two hundred and eighty-eight.

bbe@1Chronicles:25:9 @Now of the group of Asaph, the first name to come out was Joseph; the second Gedaliah; he and his brothers and sons were twelve?

bbe@1Chronicles:25:17 @The tenth Shimei, with his sons and his brothers, twelve;

bbe@1Chronicles:26:1 @For the divisions of the door-keepers: of the Korahites, Meshelemiah, the son of Kore, of the sons of Ebiasaph.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:2 @And Meshelemiah had sons: Zechariah the oldest, Jediael the second, Zebadiah the third, Jathniel the fourth,

bbe@1Chronicles:26:6 @And Shemaiah his son had sons, rulers over the family of their father, for they were able men.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:7 @The sons of Shemaiah: Othni and Rephael and Obed, Elzabad, whose brothers were great men of war, Elihu and Semachiah.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:8 @All these were sons of Obed-edom: they and their sons and their brothers, able men and strong for the work; sixty-two sons of Obed-edom.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:9 @Meshelemiah had sons and brothers, eighteen able men.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:10 @And Hosah, a son of the children of Merari, had sons: Shimri the chief (for though he was not the oldest, his father made him chief);

bbe@1Chronicles:26:12 @Of these were the divisions of the door-keepers, men of authority, having responsible positions like their brothers to be servants in the house of the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:13 @And the families were taken by the decision of the Lord for every door; the small family had the same chance as the great.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:14 @And the care of the door on the east came out for Shelemiah. Then the name of Zechariah his son, a man wise in discussion, came out, and the door on the north was given to him.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:19 @These were the divisions of door-keepers, of the sons of the Korahites and of the sons of Merari.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:29 @Of the Izharites, Chenaniah and his sons had to do all the public business of Israel, in relation to judges and men in authority.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:30 @Of the Hebronites, Hashabiah and his brothers, seventeen hundred able men, were overseers of Israel on the other side of the Jordan, to the west, being responsible for all the work of the Lord's house and for the work done by the king's servants.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:31 @Of the Hebronites, Jerijah was the chief of all the Hebronites, in their generations by families. In the fortieth year of the rule of David a search was made, and able men were seen among them at Jazer of Gilead.

bbe@1Chronicles:26:32 @And his brothers were two thousand, seven hundred able men, heads of families, whom King David made overseers over the Reubenites and the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, in everything to do with God, and for the king's business.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:1 @Now the number of the children of Israel, that is, the heads of families, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and the men in authority who were servants of the king in anything to do with the divisions which came in and went out month by month through all the months of the year, in every division were twenty-four thousand.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:6 @This is the same Benaiah who was the great man of the thirty, chief of the thirty; and in his division was Ammizabad his son.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:16 @And over the tribes of Israel: the ruler of the Reubenites was Eliezer, the son of Zichri; of the Simeonites, Shephatiah, the son of Maacah;

bbe@1Chronicles:27:24 @The numbering was started by Joab, the son of Zeruiah, but he did not go on to the end; and because of it, wrath came on Israel and the number was not recorded in the history of King David.

bbe@1Chronicles:27:26 @Ezri, the son of Chelub, had authority over the field-workers and farmers;

bbe@1Chronicles:27:27 @Shimei the Ramathite was responsible for the vine-gardens; Zabdi the Shiphmite was responsible for the produce of the vine-gardens and for all the stores of wine;

bbe@1Chronicles:27:30 @Obil the Ishmaelite had control of the camels and Jehdeiah the Meronothite of the she-asses;

bbe@1Chronicles:28:1 @And David got together at Jerusalem all the rulers of Israel, the chiefs of the tribes and the captains of the divisions waiting on the king in turn, and the captains of thousands and the captains of hundreds and the controllers of all the goods and property of the king and his sons, with the unsexed servants and the great men of war.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:2 @Then David the king got up and said, Give ear to me, my brothers and my people; it was my desire to put up a house, a resting-place for the ark of the Lord's agreement, and for the foot-rest of our God; and I had got material ready for the building of it.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:3 @But God said to me, You are not to be the builder of a house for my name, because you are a man of war and have taken life;

bbe@1Chronicles:28:4 @Though the Lord, the God of Israel, took me out of all my father's family, to be king over Israel for ever, marking out Judah to be chief, and, of the people of Judah, my father's family; and among the sons of my father he was pleased to make me king over all Israel;

bbe@1Chronicles:28:5 @And of all my sons (for the Lord has given me a great number of sons) he has made selection of Solomon to take his place on the seat of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:6 @And he said to me, Solomon your son will be the builder of my house and the open spaces round it; for I have taken him to be my son, and I will be his father.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:7 @I will keep his kingdom in its place for ever, if he is strong at all times to do my orders and keep my rules, as at this day.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:9 @And you, Solomon my son, get knowledge of the God of your father, and be his servant with a true heart and with a strong desire, for the Lord is the searcher of all hearts, and has knowledge of all the designs of men's thoughts; if you make search for him, he will be near you; but if you are turned away from him, he will give you up for ever.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:11 @Then David gave to his son Solomon the design of the doorway of the house of God and of its houses and its store-houses, and the higher rooms and the inner rooms and the place for the mercy-seat;

bbe@1Chronicles:28:17 @Clear gold for the meat-hooks and the basins and the cups; for the gold basins, gold enough by weight for every basin; and silver by weight for every silver basin;

bbe@1Chronicles:28:18 @And the best gold for the altar of perfumes; and gold for the design of the carriage, for the winged ones whose wings were outstretched covering the ark of the Lord's agreement.

bbe@1Chronicles:28:19 @All this, said David, the design for all these things, has been made dear to me in writing by the hand of the Lord.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:2 @Now as far as I am able, I have made ready what is needed for the house of my God; the gold for the things of gold, and the silver for the silver things, and the brass for the brass things, iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood; beryls and jewels to be framed, and stones of different colours for ornament; all sorts of stones of great price, and polished building-stone, as much as is needed and more.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:3 @And because this house of God is dear to me, I give my private store of gold and silver to the house of my God, in addition to all I have got ready for the holy house;

bbe@1Chronicles:29:5 @Gold for the gold things, and silver for the silver things, and for every sort of work to be done by the expert workmen. Who then will come forward, offering himself this day for the Lord's work?

bbe@1Chronicles:29:12 @Wealth and honour come from you, and you are ruler over all, and in your hand is power and strength; it is in your power to make great, and to give strength to all.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:13 @So now, our God, we give you praise, honouring the glory of your name.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:14 @But who am I and what is my people, that we have power to give so freely in this way? for all things come from you, and what we have given you is yours.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:15 @For we, as all our fathers were, are like men from a strange country before you, who have got a place for a time in the land; our days on the earth are like a shade, and there is no hope of going on.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:16 @O Lord our God, all this store, which we have made ready for the building of a house for your holy name, comes from your hand and is yours.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:22 @And with great joy they made a feast before the Lord that day. And they made Solomon, the son of David, king a second time, putting the holy oil on him to make him holy to the Lord as ruler, and on Zadok as priest.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:24 @And all the chiefs and the men of war and all the sons of King David put themselves under the authority of Solomon the king.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:28 @And he came to his end after a long life, full of days and great wealth and honour; and Solomon his son became king in his place.

bbe@1Chronicles:29:30 @Together with all his rule and his power, and the events which took place in his time, in Israel and in all the kingdoms of other lands.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:3 @Then Solomon, and all the men of Israel with him, went to the high place at Gibeon, because the Tent of meeting of God, which Moses, the servant of the Lord, had made in the waste land, was there.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:6 @And Solomon went up there to the brass altar before the Lord at the Tent of meeting, offering on it a thousand burned offerings.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:7 @In that night God came to Solomon in a vision, and said to him, Say what I am to give you.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:8 @And Solomon said to God, Great was your mercy to David my father, and you have made me king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:9 @Now, O Lord God, let your word to David my father come true; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in number.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:10 @Give me now wisdom and knowledge, so that I may go out and come in before this people: for who is able to be the judge of this great people of yours?

bbe@2Chronicles:1:13 @So Solomon went back from the high place at Gibeon, from before the Tent of meeting, to Jerusalem; and he was king over Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:14 @And Solomon got together war-carriages and horsemen; he had one thousand, four hundred carriages and twelve thousand horsemen, which he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king at Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:16 @And Solomon's horses came out of Egypt; the king's traders got them from Kue at a price.

bbe@2Chronicles:1:17 @A war-carriage might be got from Egypt for six hundred shekels of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty: they got them at the same rate for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:1 @Now it was Solomon's purpose to put up a house for the name of the Lord and a house for himself as king.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:2 @And Solomon had seventy thousand men numbered for transport, and eighty thousand for cutting stone in the mountains, and three thousand, six hundred as overseers.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:4 @See! I am building a house for the name of the Lord my God, to be made holy to him, where perfumes of sweet spices will be burned before him, and the holy bread will be placed at all times, and burned offerings will be offered morning and evening, on the Sabbaths and at the new moons, and on the regular feasts of the Lord our God. This is a law for ever to Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:6 @But who may have strength enough to make a house for him, seeing that the heaven and the heaven of heavens are not wide enough to be his resting-place? who am I then to make a house for him? But I am building it only for the burning of perfume before him.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:7 @So now send me an expert worker in gold and silver and brass and iron? in purple and red and blue, and in the cutting of all sorts of ornament, to be with the expert workmen who are here in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom my father David got together.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:8 @And send me cedar-trees, cypress-trees and sandal-wood from Lebanon, for, to my knowledge, your servants are expert wood-cutters in Lebanon; and my servants will be with yours,

bbe@2Chronicles:2:9 @To get trees for me in great numbers, for the house which I am building is to be great and a wonder.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:10 @And I will give as food to your servants, the wood-cutters, twenty thousand measures of grain, and twenty thousand measures of barley and twenty thousand measures of wine and twenty thousand measures of oil.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:14 @The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, whose father was a man of Tyre, an expert worker in gold and silver and brass and iron, in stone and wood, in purple and blue and fair linen and red, trained in the cutting of every sort of ornament and the invention of every sort of design; let him be given a place among your expert workmen and those of my lord, your father David.

bbe@2Chronicles:2:17 @Then Solomon took the number of all the men from strange lands who were living in Israel, as his father David had done; there were a hundred and fifty-three thousand, six hundred.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:3 @And Solomon put the base of the house of God in position; by the older measure it was sixty cubits long and twenty cubits wide.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:5 @And the greater house was roofed with cypress-wood, plated with the best gold and ornamented with designs of palm-trees and chains.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:7 @All the house was plated with gold, the supports, the steps, the walls and the doors; and the walls were ornamented with designs of winged ones.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:11 @Their outstretched wings were twenty cubits across; one wing, five cubits long, touching the wall of the house, and the other, of the same size, meeting the wing of the other winged one.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:12 @And in the same way, the wings of the other, five cubits long, were stretched out, one touching the wall and the other meeting the wing of the first winged one.

bbe@2Chronicles:3:16 @And he made chains, like neck ornaments, and put them on the tops of the pillars, and a hundred apples on the chains.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:2 @And he made the great water-vessel of metal, round in form, measuring ten cubits across from edge to edge; it was five cubits high and thirty cubits round.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:3 @And under it was a design of flowers all round it, ten to a cubit, circling the water-vessel in two lines; they were made from liquid metal at the same time as the water-vessel.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:11 @And Huram made all the pots and the spades and the basins. So he came to the end of all the work he did for King Solomon in the house of God:

bbe@2Chronicles:4:16 @All the pots and the spades and the meat-hooks and their vessels, which Huram, who was as his father, made for King Solomon for the house of the Lord, were of polished brass.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:17 @The king made them of liquid metal in the lowland of Jordan, in the soft earth between Succoth and Zeredah.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:18 @So Solomon made all these vessels, a very great store of them, and the weight of the brass used was not measured.

bbe@2Chronicles:4:21 @The flowers and the vessels for the lights and the instruments used for them, were all of gold; it was the best gold.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:2 @Then Solomon sent for all the responsible men of Israel, all the chiefs of the tribes and the heads of families of the children of Israel, to come to Jerusalem and take the ark of the Lord's agreement up out of the town of David, which is Zion.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:3 @And all the men of Israel came together to the king at the feast in the seventh month.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:4 @All the responsible men of Israel came, and the Levites took up the ark.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:5 @They took up the ark and the Tent of meeting and all the holy vessels which were in the Tent; all these the priests, the Levites, took up.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:6 @And King Solomon and all the men of Israel who had come together there with him, were before the ark, making offerings of sheep and oxen more than might be numbered.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:7 @And the priests took the ark of the Lord's agreement and put it in its place, in the inner room of the house, in the most holy place, under the wings of the winged ones.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:10 @Nothing was in the ark but the two flat stones which Moses put there at Horeb, where the Lord made an agreement with the children of Israel when they came out of Egypt.

bbe@2Chronicles:5:11 @Now when the priests had come out of the holy place, (for all the priests who were present had made themselves holy, not keeping to their divisions;

bbe@2Chronicles:5:12 @And the Levites who made the music, all of them, Asaph, Heman, Jeduthun, and their sons and brothers, robed in fair linen, were in their places with their brass and corded instruments at the east side of the altar, and with them a hundred and twenty priests blowing horns;)

bbe@2Chronicles:5:13 @And when the players on horns, and those who made melody in song, with one voice were sounding the praise and glory of the Lord; with loud voices and with wind instruments, and brass and corded instruments of music, praising the Lord and saying, He is good; his mercy is unchanging for ever: then the house was full of the cloud of the glory of the Lord,

bbe@2Chronicles:6:1 @Then Solomon said, O Lord, to the sun you have given the heaven for a living-place, but your living-place was not seen by men,

bbe@2Chronicles:6:3 @Then, turning his face about, the king gave a blessing to all the men of Israel; and they were all on their feet together.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:4 @And he said, Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who himself gave his word to my father David, and with his strong hand has made his word come true, saying,

bbe@2Chronicles:6:5 @From the day when I took my people out of the land of Egypt, no town in all the tribes of Israel has been marked out by me for the building of a house for the resting-place of my name; and I took no man to be a ruler over my people Israel;

bbe@2Chronicles:6:6 @But now I have made selection of Jerusalem, that my name might be there, and of David, to be over my people Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:7 @Now it was in the heart of my father David to put up a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:8 @But the Lord said to David my father, You did well to have in your heart the desire to make a house for my name:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:9 @But you yourself will not be the builder of the house; but your son, the offspring of your body, he it is who will put up a house for my name.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:10 @And the Lord has kept his word; for I have taken my father David's place on the seat of the kingdom of Israel, as the Lord gave his word; and I have made the house for the name of the Lord the God of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:11 @And there I have put the ark, in which is the agreement of the Lord, which he made with the people of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:12 @Then he took his place in front of the altar of the Lord, all the men of Israel being present,

bbe@2Chronicles:6:13 @(For Solomon had made a brass stage, five cubits long, five cubits wide and three cubits high, and had put it in the middle of the open space; on this he took his place and went down on his knees before all the meeting of Israel, stretching out his hands to heaven.)

bbe@2Chronicles:6:14 @And he said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth; keeping faith and mercy unchanging for your servants, while they go in your ways with all their hearts;

bbe@2Chronicles:6:15 @For you have kept the word which you gave to your servant David, my father; with your mouth you said it and with your hand you have made it come true this day.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:16 @So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, let your word to your servant David, my father, come true, when you said, You will never be without a man to take his place before me on the seat of the kingdom of Israel; if only your children give attention to their ways, walking in my law, as you have done before me.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:17 @So now, O Lord, the God of Israel, make your word come true which you said to your servant David.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:18 @But is it truly possible that God may be housed with men on earth? see, heaven and the heaven of heavens are not wide enough to be your resting-place: how much less this house which I have made:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:20 @That your eyes may be open to this house day and night, to this place of which you have said that you would put your name there; to give ear to the prayer which your servant may make, turning to this place.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:21 @And give ear to the prayers of your servant and of your people Israel, when they make their prayers, turning to this place; give ear from heaven your living-place; and hearing have mercy.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:22 @If a man does wrong to his neighbour and has to take an oath, and comes before your altar to take his oath in this house:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:23 @Then let your ear be open in heaven, and be the judge of your servants, giving punishment to the wrongdoer, so that his sin may come on his head; and, by your decision, keeping from evil him who has done no wrong.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:24 @And if your people Israel are overcome in war, because of their sin against you; if they are turned to you again, honouring your name, making prayers and requesting your grace in this house:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:26 @When heaven is shut up and there is no rain, because of their sin against you: if they make prayers with their faces turned to this place, honouring your name and turning away from their sin when you send trouble on them:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:30 @Then give ear from heaven your living-place, answering with forgiveness, and give to every man, whose secret heart is open to you, the reward of all his ways; (for you, and you only, have knowledge of the hearts of the children of men;)

bbe@2Chronicles:6:32 @And as for the man from a strange land, who is not of your people Israel but comes from a far country because of the glory of your name and your strong hand and your outstretched arm; when he comes to make his prayer, turning to this house:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:33 @Then give ear from heaven your living-place, and give him his desire, whatever it may be; so that all the peoples of the earth may have knowledge of your name, worshipping you as do your people Israel, and may see that this house which I have made is truly named by your name.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:34 @If your people go out to war against their attackers, by whatever way you may send them, if they make their prayers to you turning their faces to this town of yours and to this house which I have put up for your name:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:38 @If with all their heart and soul they are turned again to you, in the land where they are prisoners, the land where they have been taken, and make their prayers, turning their eyes to their land which you gave to their fathers, and to the town which you took for yourself, and the house which I have made for your name:

bbe@2Chronicles:6:41 @Up! now, O Lord God, come back to your resting-place, you and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O Lord God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints be glad in what is good.

bbe@2Chronicles:6:42 @O Lord God, let him whom you have taken for yourself never be given up by you: keep in mind your mercies to David your servant.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:1 @Now when Solomon's prayers were ended, fire came down from heaven, burning up all the offerings; and the house was full of the glory of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:3 @And all the children of Israel were looking on when the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord was on the house; and they went down on their knees, with their faces to the earth, worshipping and praising the Lord, and saying, He is good; for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:6 @And the priests were in their places, and the Levites with their instruments of music for the Lord's song, which David the king had made for the praise of the Lord whose mercy is unchanging for ever, when David gave praise by their hand; and the priests were sounding horns before them; and all Israel were on their feet.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:7 @Then Solomon made holy the middle of the open square in front of the house of the Lord, offering the burned offerings there, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for there was not room on the brass altar which Solomon had made for all the burned offerings and the meal offerings and the fat.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:8 @So Solomon kept the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great meeting, for the people had come together from the way into Hamath and from as far as the river of Egypt.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:9 @And on the eighth day they had a holy meeting; the offerings for making the altar holy went on for seven days, and the feast for seven days.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:11 @So Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house; and everything which it was in his mind to make in the house of the Lord and for himself had been well done.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:12 @Now the Lord came to Solomon in a vision by night, and said to him, I have given ear to your prayer, and have taken this place for myself as a house where offerings are to be made.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:14 @If my people, on whom my name is named, make themselves low and come to me in prayer, searching for me and turning from their evil ways; then I will give ear from heaven, overlooking their sin, and will give life again to their land.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:16 @For I have taken this house for myself and made it holy, so that my name may be there for ever; and my eyes and my heart will be there at all times

bbe@2Chronicles:7:17 @And as for you, if you will go on your way before me as David your father did, doing whatever I have given you orders to do and keeping my laws and my decisions:

bbe@2Chronicles:7:19 @But if you are turned away from me, and do not keep my orders and my laws which I have put before you, but go and make yourselves servants to other gods, giving them worship:

bbe@2Chronicles:7:20 @Then I will have this people uprooted out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will put away from before my eyes, and make it an example and a word of shame among all peoples.

bbe@2Chronicles:7:21 @And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, and will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?

bbe@2Chronicles:7:22 @And their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord, the God of their fathers, who took them out of the land of Egypt, and took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why he has sent all this evil on them.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:1 @Now at the end of twenty years, in which time Solomon had put up the house of the Lord and a house for himself,

bbe@2Chronicles:8:3 @And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and overcame it.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:6 @And of Baalath, and all the store-towns which Solomon had, and the towns where he kept his war-carriages and his horse men, and everything which it was his pleasure to put up in Jerusalem and in Lebanon and in all the land under his rule.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:8 @Their men who were still living in the land, and whom the children of Israel had not put an end to, these Solomon put to forced work, as is done to this day;

bbe@2Chronicles:8:9 @But Solomon did not make use of the children of Israel as servants for his work; they were men of war, his chiefs and his captains, and captains of his war-carriages and his horsemen.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:10 @Now these were the chief men in authority whom King Solomon had: two hundred and fifty of them, in authority over the people.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:11 @Then Solomon made Pharaoh's daughter come up from the town of David to the house which he had made for her; for he said, I will not have my wife living in the house of David, king of Israel, because those places where the ark of the Lord has come are holy.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:13 @Offering every day what had been ordered by Moses, on the Sabbaths and at the new moon and at the regular feasts three times a year, that is at the feast of unleavened bread, the feast of weeks, and the feast of tents.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:16 @And all the work of Solomon was complete, from the day when he put the base of the Lord's house in position, till Solomon had come to the end of building the Lord's house.

bbe@2Chronicles:8:18 @And Huram sent him, by his servants, ships and experienced seamen, who went with the servants of Solomon to Ophir and came back with four hundred and fifty talents of gold, which they took to King Solomon

bbe@2Chronicles:9:1 @Now the queen of Sheba, hearing great things of Solomon, came to Jerusalem to put his wisdom to the test with hard questions; and with her came a very great train, and camels weighted down with spices, and great stores of gold and jewels: and when she came to Solomon she had talk with him of everything in her mind.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:5 @And she said to the king, The account which was given to me in my country of your acts and your wisdom was true.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:6 @But I had no faith in what was said about you, till I came and saw for myself; and truly, word was not given me of half your great wisdom; you are much greater than they said.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:10 @And the servants of Huram and the servants of Solomon, in addition to gold from Ophir, came back with sandal-wood and jewels.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:11 @And with the sandal-wood the king made steps for the house of the Lord and for the king's house, and instruments of music for the makers of melody; never before had such been seen in the land of Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:13 @Now the weight of gold which came to Solomon in one year was six hundred and sixty-six talents;

bbe@2Chronicles:9:15 @And King Solomon made two hundred body-covers of hammered gold, every one having six hundred shekels of gold in it.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:16 @And he made three hundred smaller body-covers of hammered gold, using three hundred shekels of gold for every cover, and the king put them in the house of the Woods of Lebanon.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:21 @For the king had Tarshish-ships sailing with the servants of Huram: once every three years the Tarshish-ships came back with gold and silver, ivory and monkeys and peacocks.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:23 @And all the kings of the earth came to see Solomon and to give ear to his wisdom, which God had put into his heart.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:24 @And everyone took with him an offering, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and robes, and coats of metal, and spices, and horses and beasts for transport, regularly year by year.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:25 @Solomon had four thousand buildings for his horses and his war-carriages, and twelve thousand horsemen whom he kept, some in the carriage-towns and some with the king in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:9:31 @And Solomon went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Rehoboam his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:1 @And Rehoboam went to Shechem, where all Israel had come together to make him king.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:2 @And when Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, had news of it, (for he was in Egypt where he had gone in flight from King Solomon,) he came back from Egypt.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:3 @And they sent for him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came to Rehoboam and said,

bbe@2Chronicles:10:5 @And he said to them, Come to me again after three days. So the people went away.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:6 @Then King Rehoboam took the opinion of the old men who had been with Solomon his father when he was living, and said, In your opinion, what answer am I to give to this people?

bbe@2Chronicles:10:8 @But he gave no attention to the opinion of the old men, but went to the young men of his generation who were waiting before him.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:9 @And he said to them, What is your opinion? What answer are we to give to this people who have said to me, Make less the weight of the yoke which your father put on us?

bbe@2Chronicles:10:10 @And the young men of his generation said to him, This is the answer to give to the people who came to you saying, Your father put a hard yoke on us, but will you make it less; say to them, My little finger is thicker than my father's body;

bbe@2Chronicles:10:11 @If my father put a hard yoke on you, I will make it harder: my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give you blows with snakes.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:12 @So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had given orders, saying, Come to me again on the third day.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:13 @And the king gave them a rough answer. So King Rehoboam gave no attention to the suggestion of the old men,

bbe@2Chronicles:10:14 @But gave them the answer put forward by the young men, saying, My father made your yoke hard, but I will make it harder; my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give it with snakes.

bbe@2Chronicles:10:15 @So the king did not give ear to the people; for this came about by the purpose of God, so that the Lord might give effect to his word which he had said by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:1 @And Rehoboam came to Jerusalem, and got together the men of Judah and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand of his best fighting-men, to make war against Israel and get the kingdom back for Rehoboam.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:2 @But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, the man of God, saying,

bbe@2Chronicles:11:13 @And the priests and Levites who were in all Israel came together to him from every part of their country.

bbe@2Chronicles:11:14 @For the Levites gave up their living-places and their property, and came to Judah and Jerusalem; for Jeroboam and his sons had sent them away, not letting them be priests to the Lord;

bbe@2Chronicles:11:16 @And after them, from all the tribes of Israel, all those whose hearts were fixed and true to the Lord, the God of Israel, came to Jerusalem to make offerings to the Lord, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:2 @Now in the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem, because of their sin against the Lord,

bbe@2Chronicles:12:3 @With twelve hundred war-carriages and sixty thousand horsemen: and the people who came with him out of Egypt were more than might be numbered: Lubim and Sukkiim and Ethiopians.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:4 @And he took the walled towns of Judah, and came as far as Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:5 @Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and the chiefs of Judah, who had come together in Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, The Lord has said, Because you have given me up, I have given you up into the hands of Shishak.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:7 @And the Lord, seeing that they had made themselves low, said to Shemaiah, They have made themselves low: I will not send destruction on them, but in a short time I will give them salvation, and will not let loose my wrath on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:8 @But still they will become his servants, so that they may see how different my yoke is from the yoke of the kingdoms of the lands.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:9 @So Shishak, king of Egypt, came up against Jerusalem and took away all the stored wealth of the house of the Lord and the king's house: he took everything away, and with the rest the gold body-covers which Solomon had made.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:10 @And in their place King Rehoboam had other body-covers made of brass and gave them into the care of the captains of the armed men who were stationed at the door of the king's house.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:11 @And whenever the king went into the house of the Lord, the armed men went with him taking the body-covers, and then took them back to their room.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:12 @And when he made himself low, the wrath of the Lord was turned back from him, and complete destruction did not come on him, for there was still some good in Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:12:16 @And Rehoboam went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in the town of David; and Abijah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:1 @In the eighteenth year of King Jeroboam, Abijah became king over Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:2 @He was king in Jerusalem for three years; his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Uriel of Gibeah. And there was war between Abijah and Jeroboam.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:3 @And Abijah went out to the fight with an army of men of war, four hundred thousand of his best men; and Jeroboam put his forces in line against him, eight hundred thousand of his best men of war.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:4 @And Abijah took up his position on Mount Zemaraim, in the hill-country of Ephraim, and said, Give ear to me, O Jeroboam and all Israel:

bbe@2Chronicles:13:5 @Is it not clear to you that the Lord, the God of Israel, gave the rule over Israel to David and to his sons for ever, by an agreement made with salt?

bbe@2Chronicles:13:7 @And certain foolish and good-for-nothing men were joined with him, and made themselves strong against Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, when he was young and untested and not able to keep them back.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:9 @And after driving out the priests of the Lord, the sons of Aaron and the Levites, have you not made priests for yourselves as the people of other lands do? so that anyone who comes to make himself priest by offering an ox or seven sheep, may be a priest of those who are no gods.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:11 @By whom burned offerings and perfumes are sent up in smoke before the Lord every morning and every evening; and they put out the holy bread on its table and the gold support for the lights with its lights burning every evening; for we keep the orders given to us by the Lord our God, but you have gone away from him.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:13 @But Jeroboam had put some of his men to make a surprise attack on them from the back, so some were facing Judah and others were stationed secretly at their back.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:15 @And the men of Judah gave a loud cry; and at their cry, God put fear into Jeroboam and all Israel before Abijah and Judah

bbe@2Chronicles:13:18 @So at that time the children of Israel were overcome, and the children of Judah got the better of them, because they put their faith in the Lord, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:19 @And Abijah went after Jeroboam and took some of his towns, Beth-el with its small towns and Jeshanah with its small towns and Ephron with its small towns.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:20 @And Jeroboam did not get back his power again in the life-time of Abijah; and the Lord sent death on him.

bbe@2Chronicles:13:21 @But Abijah became great, and had fourteen wives, and became the father of twenty-two sons and sixteen daughters.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:1 @So Abijah went to rest with his fathers, and they put him into the earth in the town of David, and Asa his son became king in his place; in his time the land was quiet for ten years.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:8 @And Asa had an army of three hundred thousand men of Judah armed with body-covers and spears, and two hundred and eighty thousand of Benjamin armed with body-covers and bows; all these were men of war.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:9 @And Zerah the Ethiopian, with an army of a million, and three hundred war-carriages, came out against them to Mareshah.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:11 @And Asa made prayer to the Lord his God and said, Lord, you only are able to give help against the strong to him who has no strength; come to our help, O Lord our God, for our hope is in you, and in your name we have come out against this great army. O Lord, you are our God; let not man's power be greater than yours.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:14 @And they overcame all the towns round Gerar, because the Lord sent fear on them; and they took away their goods from the towns, for there were stores of wealth in them.

bbe@2Chronicles:14:15 @And they made an attack on the tents of the owners of the cattle, and took away great numbers of sheep and camels and went back to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:1 @And the spirit of God came on Azariah, the son of Oded;

bbe@2Chronicles:15:2 @And he came face to face with Asa and said to him, Give ear to me, Asa and all Judah and Benjamin: the Lord is with you while you are with him; if your heart's desire is for him, he will be near you, but if you give him up, he will give you up.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:3 @Now for a long time Israel has been without the true God, and without a teaching priest and without the law;

bbe@2Chronicles:15:5 @In those times there was no peace for him who went out or for him who came in, but great trouble was on all the people of the lands.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:9 @And he got together all Judah and Benjamin and those of Ephraim and Manasseh and Simeon who were living with them; for numbers of them came to him out of Israel when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:10 @So they came together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the rule of Asa.

bbe@2Chronicles:15:12 @And they made an agreement to be true to the Lord, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and all their soul;

bbe@2Chronicles:15:14 @And they made an oath to the Lord, with a loud voice, sounding wind-instruments and horns.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:3 @Let there be an agreement between me and you as there was between my father and your father: see, I have sent you silver and gold; go and put an end to your agreement with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he may give up attacking me.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:5 @Then Baasha, hearing of it, put a stop to the building of Ramah, and let his work come to an end.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:7 @At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa, king of Judah, and said to him, Because you have put your faith in the king of Aram and not in the Lord your God, the army of the king of Aram has got away out of your hands.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:8 @Were not the Ethiopians and the Lubim a very great army, with war-carriages and horsemen more than might be numbered? but because your faith was in the Lord, he gave them up into your hands.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:10 @Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in prison, burning with wrath against him because of this thing. And at the same time Asa was cruel to some of the people.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:12 @In the thirty-ninth year of his rule, Asa had a very bad disease of the feet; but he did not go to the Lord for help in his disease, but to medical men.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:13 @So Asa went to rest with his fathers, and death came to him in the forty-first year of his rule.

bbe@2Chronicles:16:14 @And they put him into the resting-place which he had made for himself in the town of David, in a bed full of sweet perfumes of all sorts of spices, made by the perfumer's art, and they made a great burning for him.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:1 @And Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place, and made himself strong against Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:11 @And some of the Philistines took offerings to Jehoshaphat, and made him payments of silver; and the Arabians gave him flocks, seven thousand, seven hundred sheep, and seven thousand, seven hundred he-goats.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:12 @Jehoshaphat became greater and greater, and made strong towers and store-towns in Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:13 @He had much property in the towns of Judah; he had forces of armed men, great and strong, in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:17:14 @This is the number of them, listed by their families, the captains of thousands of Judah: Adnah, the captain, and with him three hundred thousand men of war;

bbe@2Chronicles:17:16 @After him Amasiah, the son of Zichri, who freely gave himself to the Lord, and with him two hundred thousand men of war;

bbe@2Chronicles:17:17 @And the captains of Benjamin: Eliada, a great man of war, and with him two hundred thousand armed with bows and body-covers;

bbe@2Chronicles:17:19 @These were the men who were waiting on the king, in addition to those placed by the king in the walled towns through all Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:2 @And after some years he went down to Samaria to see Ahab. And Ahab made a feast for him and the people who were with him, putting to death great numbers of sheep and oxen; and he got Jehoshaphat to go with him to Ramoth-gilead.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:3 @For Ahab, king of Israel, said to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead? And he said, I am as you are, and my people as your people; we will be with you in the war.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:5 @So the king of Israel got together all the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for God will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:7 @And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom we may get directions from the Lord, but I have no love for him, because he has never been a prophet of good to me, but only of evil: he is Micaiah, the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:8 @Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imla.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:11 @And all the prophets said the same thing, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and it will go well for you, for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:13 @And Micaiah said, By the living Lord, whatever the Lord says to me I will say.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:14 @When he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, are we to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And he said, Go up, and it will go well for you; and they will be given up into your hands.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:15 @And the king said to him, Have I not, again and again, put you on your oath to say nothing to me but what is true in the name of the Lord?

bbe@2Chronicles:18:17 @And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not say that he would not be a prophet of good to me, but of evil?

bbe@2Chronicles:18:20 @Then a spirit came forward and took his place before the Lord and said, I will get him to do it by a trick. And the Lord said to him, How?

bbe@2Chronicles:18:23 @Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of his face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?

bbe@2Chronicles:18:26 @And say, By the king's order this man is to be put in prison, and given prison food till I come back in peace.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:27 @And Micaiah said, If you come back at all in peace, the Lord has not sent his word by me.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:31 @So when the captains of the war-carriages saw Jehoshaphat, they said, It is the king of Israel. And turning about, they came round him, but Jehoshaphat gave a cry, and the Lord came to his help, and God sent them away from him.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:33 @And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.

bbe@2Chronicles:18:34 @But the fight became more violent while the day went on; and the king of Israel was supported in his war-carriage facing the Aramaeans till the evening; and by sundown he was dead.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:2 @And Jehu, the son of Hanani the seer, went to King Jehoshaphat and said to him, Is it right for you to go to the help of evil-doers, loving the haters of the Lord? because of this, the wrath of the Lord has come on you.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:3 @But still there is some good in you, for you have put away the wood pillars out of the land, and have given your heart to the worship of God.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:7 @So now let the fear of the Lord be in you; do your work with care; for in the Lord our God there is no evil, or respect for high position, or taking of payment to do wrong.

bbe@2Chronicles:19:10 @And if any cause comes before you from your brothers living in their towns, where the death punishment is in question, or where there are questions of law or order, or rules or decisions, make them take care that they are not in the wrong before the Lord, so that wrath may not come on you and on your brothers; do this and you yourselves will not be in the wrong

bbe@2Chronicles:20:1 @Now after this, the children of Moab and the children of Ammon, and with them some of the Meunim, made war against Jehoshaphat.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:2 @And they came to Jehoshaphat with the news, saying, A great army is moving against you from Edom across the sea; and now they are in Hazazon-tamar (which is En-gedi).

bbe@2Chronicles:20:4 @And Judah came together to make prayer for help from the Lord; from every town of Judah they came to give worship to the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:5 @And Jehoshaphat took his place in the meeting of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the Lord in front of the new open space,

bbe@2Chronicles:20:8 @And they made it their living-place, building there a holy house for your name, and saying,

bbe@2Chronicles:20:9 @If evil comes on us, the sword, or punishment, or disease, or need of food, we will come to this house and to you, (for your name is in this house,) crying to you in our trouble, and you will give us salvation in answer to our cry.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:10 @And now, see, the children of Ammon and Moab and the people of Mount Seir, whom you kept Israel from attacking when they came out of Egypt, so that turning to one side they did not send destruction on them:

bbe@2Chronicles:20:11 @See now, how as our reward they have come to send us out of your land which you have given us as our heritage.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:14 @Then, before all the meeting, the spirit of the Lord came on Jahaziel, the son of Zechariah, son of Benaiah, son of Jeiel, son of Mattaniah, a Levite and one of the family of Asaph;

bbe@2Chronicles:20:16 @Go down against them tomorrow: see, they are coming up by the slope of Ziz; at the end of the valley, before the waste land of Jeruel, you will come face to face with them.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:20 @And early in the morning they got up and went out to the waste land of Tekoa: and when they were going out, Jehoshaphat took his station and said to them, Give ear to me, O Judah and you people of Jerusalem: have faith in the Lord your God and you will be safe; have faith in his prophets and all will go well for you.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:21 @And after discussion with the people, he put in their places those who were to make melody to the Lord, praising him in holy robes, while they went at the head of the army, and saying, May the Lord be praised, for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:22 @And at the first notes of song and praise the Lord sent a surprise attack against the children of Ammon and Moab and the people of Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were overcome.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:24 @And Judah came to the watchtower of the waste land, and looking in the direction of the army, they saw only dead bodies stretched on the earth; no living man was to be seen.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:25 @And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take their goods from them, they saw beasts in great numbers, and wealth and clothing and things of value, more than they were able to take away; all this they took for themselves, and they were three days getting it away, there was so much.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:26 @On the fourth day they all came together in the Valley of Blessing, and there they gave blessing to the Lord; for which cause that place has been named the Valley of Blessing to this day.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:27 @Then all the men of Judah and Jerusalem went back, with Jehoshaphat at their head, coming back to Jerusalem with joy; for the Lord had made them glad over their haters.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:28 @So they came to Jerusalem with corded instruments and wind-instruments into the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:29 @And the fear of God came on all the kingdoms of the lands, when they had news of how the Lord made war on those who came against Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:31 @And Jehoshaphat was king over Judah: he was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling for twenty-five years in Jerusalem: his mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.

bbe@2Chronicles:20:35 @After this Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, became friends with Ahaziah, king of Israel, who did much evil:

bbe@2Chronicles:20:37 @Then the word of Eliezer the prophet, the son of Dodavahu of Mareshah, came against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because you have let yourself be joined with Ahaziah, the Lord has sent destruction on your works. And the ships were broken and were not able to go to Tarshish.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:1 @And Jehoshaphat went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David. And Jehoram his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:4 @Now when Jehoram had taken his place over his father's kingdom, and had made his position safe, he put all his brothers to death with the sword, as well as some of the princes of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:5 @Jehoram was thirty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:7 @But it was not the Lord's purpose to send destruction on the family of David, because of the agreement he had made with David, when he said he would give to him and to his sons a light for ever.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:8 @In his time Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, and took a king for themselves.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:10 @So Edom made themselves free from the rule of Judah, to this day: and at the same time Libnah made itself free from his rule; because he was turned away from the Lord, the God of his fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:12 @And a letter came to him from Elijah the prophet, saying, The Lord, the God of your father David, says, Because you have not kept to the ways of your father Jehoshaphat or the ways of Asa, king of Judah,

bbe@2Chronicles:21:17 @And they came up against Judah, forcing a way into it, and took away all the goods in the king's house, as well as his sons and his wives; so that he had no son but only Jehoahaz, the youngest.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:19 @And time went on, and after two years, his inside falling out because of the disease, he came to his death in cruel pain. And his people made no burning for him like the burning made for his fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:21:20 @He was thirty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for eight years: and at his death he was not regretted; they put his body into the earth in the town of David, but not in the resting-place of the kings.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:1 @And the people of Jerusalem made Ahaziah, his youngest son, king in his place, for the band of men who came with the Arabians to the army had put all the older sons to death. So Ahaziah, the son of Jehoram, became king.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:2 @Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the daughter of Omri.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:5 @Acting on their suggestion, he went with Jehoram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, to make war on Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead: and Joram was wounded by the bowmen.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:7 @Now by the purpose of God, Ahaziah's journey to see Jehoram was the cause of his downfall: for when he came there, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu, the son of Nimshi, who had been marked out by the Lord for the destruction of the family of Ahab.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:8 @Now when Jehu was effecting the punishment of the family of Ahab, he came to the princes of Judah and the sons of Ahaziah's brothers, the servants of Ahaziah, and put them to death.

bbe@2Chronicles:22:9 @And he went in search of Ahaziah; and when they came where he was, (for he was in a secret place in Samaria,) they took him to Jehu and put him to death; then they put his body to rest in the earth, for they said, He is the son of Jehoshaphat, whose heart was true to the Lord. So the family of Ahaziah had no power to keep the kingdom.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:1 @In the seventh year, Jehoiada made himself strong, and made an agreement with the captains of hundreds, Azariah, the son of Jeroham, Ishmael, the son of Jehohanan, Azariah, the son of Obed, Maaseiah, the son of Adaiah, and Elishaphat, the son of Zichri.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:2 @And they went through Judah, getting together the Levites and the heads of families in Israel from all the towns of Judah, and they came to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:3 @And all the people made an agreement with the king in the house of God. And he said to them, Truly, the king's son will be king, as the Lord has said about the sons of David.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:4 @This is what you are to do: let a third of you, of the priests and Levites, who come in on the Sabbath, keep the doors;

bbe@2Chronicles:23:6 @But let no one come into the house of the Lord but only the priests and those of the Levites who have work to do there; they may go in for they are holy; but the rest of the people are to keep the orders of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:7 @And the Levites are to make a circle round the king, every man being armed; and any man who comes into the house is to be put to death; you are to keep with the king when he comes in and when he goes out.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:8 @So the Levites and all Judah did as Jehoiada the priest had given them orders: every one took with him his men, those who were to come in and those who were to go out on the Sabbath; for Jehoiada had not sent away the divisions.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:10 @And he put all the people in position, every man with his instruments of war in his hand, from the right side of the house to the left, by the altar and the house and all round the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:11 @Then they made the king's son come out, and they put the crown on his head and gave him the arm-bands and made him king: and Jehoiada and his sons put the holy oil on him and said, Long life to the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:12 @Now Athaliah, hearing the noise of the people running and praising the king, came to the people in the house of the Lord:

bbe@2Chronicles:23:13 @And looking, she saw the king in his place by the pillar at the doorway, and the captains and the horns by his side; and all the people of the land were giving signs of joy and sounding the horns; and the makers of melody were playing on instruments of music, taking the chief part in the song of praise. Then Athaliah, violently parting her robes, said, Broken faith, broken faith!

bbe@2Chronicles:23:16 @And Jehoiada made an agreement between the Lord and all the people and the king, that they would be the Lord's people.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:19 @And he put door-keepers at the doors of the Lord's house, to see that no one who was unclean in any way might come in.

bbe@2Chronicles:23:20 @Then he took the captains of hundreds and the chiefs and the rulers of the people and all the people of the land, and they came down with the king from the house of the Lord through the higher doorway into the king's house, and put the king on the seat of the kingdom.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:1 @Joash was seven years old when he became king, and he was ruling for forty years in Jerusalem: his mother's name was Zibiah of Beer-sheba.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:3 @And Jehoiada took two wives for him, and he became the father of sons and daughters.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:5 @And getting together the priests and Levites, he said to them, Go out into the towns of Judah year by year, and get from all Israel money to keep the house of your God in good condition; and see that this is done without loss of time. The Levites, however, were slow in doing so.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:6 @Then the king sent for Jehoiada, the chief priest, and said to him, Why have you not given the Levites orders that the tax fixed by Moses, the servant of the Lord, and by the meeting of Israel, for the Tent of witness, is to be got in from Judah and Jerusalem and handed over?

bbe@2Chronicles:24:9 @And an order was sent out through all Judah and Jerusalem that payment was to be made to the Lord of the tax which Moses, the servant of God, had put on Israel in the waste land.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:10 @And all the chiefs and all the people came gladly and put their money into the chest, till they had all given.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:12 @Then the king and Jehoiada gave it to those who were responsible for getting the work done on the Lord's house, and with it they got wall-builders and woodworkers and metal-workers to put the house of the Lord in good order again.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:13 @So the workmen did their work, making good what was damaged and building up the house of God till it was strong and beautiful again.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:15 @But Jehoiada became old and full of days, and he came to his end; he was a hundred and thirty years old at the time of his death.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:17 @Now after the death of Jehoiada, the chiefs of Judah came and went down on their faces before the king. Then the king gave ear to them.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:18 @And they gave up the house of the Lord God of their fathers, and became worshippers of pillars of wood and of the images; and because of this sin of theirs, wrath came on Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:19 @And the Lord sent them prophets to make them come back to him; and they gave witness against them, but they would not give ear.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:20 @Then the spirit of God came on Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the priest, and, getting up before the people, he said to them, God has said, Why do you go against the orders of the Lord, so that everything goes badly for you? because you have given up the Lord, he has given you up

bbe@2Chronicles:24:22 @So King Joash did not keep in mind how good Jehoiada his father had been to him, but put his son to death. And in the hour of his death he said, May the Lord see it and take payment!

bbe@2Chronicles:24:23 @Now in the spring, the army of the Aramaeans came up against him; they came against Judah and Jerusalem, putting to death all the great men of the people and sending all the goods they took from them to the king of Damascus.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:24 @For though the army of Aram was only a small one, the Lord gave a very great army into their hands, because they had given up the Lord, the God of their fathers. So they put into effect the punishment of Joash.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:26 @Those who made designs against him were Zabad, the son of Shimeath, an Ammonite woman, and Jehozabad, the son of Shimrith, a Moabite woman.

bbe@2Chronicles:24:27 @Now the story of his sons, and all the words said by the prophet against him, and the building up again of the Lord's house, are recorded in the account in the book of the kings. And Amaziah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:1 @Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:3 @Now when he became strong in the kingdom, he put to death those men who had taken the life of the king his father.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:5 @Then Amaziah got all Judah together and put them in order by their families, even all Judah and Benjamin, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds: and he had those of twenty years old and over numbered, and they came to three hundred thousand of the best fighting-men, trained for war and in the use of the spear and the body-cover.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:6 @And for a hundred talents of silver, he got a hundred thousand fighting-men from Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:7 @But a man of God came to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with you; for the Lord is not with Israel, that is, the children of Ephraim.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:9 @Then Amaziah said to the man of God, But what is to be done about the hundred talents which I have given for the armed band of Israel? And the man of God in answer said, God is able to give you much more than this

bbe@2Chronicles:25:10 @So Amaziah, separating the armed band which had come to him from Ephraim, sent them back again; which made them very angry with Judah, and they went back burning with wrath.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:11 @Then Amaziah took heart, and went out at the head of his people and came to the Valley of Salt, where he put to death ten thousand of the children of Seir;

bbe@2Chronicles:25:13 @But the men of the band which Amaziah sent back and did not take with him to the fight, made attacks on the towns of Judah from Samaria to Beth-horon, putting to death three thousand of their people and taking away a great store of their goods.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:14 @Now when Amaziah came back from the destruction of the Edomites, he took the gods of the children of Seir and made them his gods, worshipping them and burning offerings before them.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:16 @But while he was talking to him the king said to him, Have we made you one of the king's government? say no more, or it will be the cause of your death. Then the prophet gave up protesting, and said, It is clear to me that God's purpose is your destruction, because you have done this and have not given ear to my words.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:17 @Then Amaziah, king of Judah, acting on the suggestion of his servants, sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us have a meeting face to face.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:19 @You say, See, I have overcome Edom; and your heart is lifted up with pride: now keep in your country; why do you make causes of trouble, putting yourself, and Judah with you, in danger of downfall?

bbe@2Chronicles:25:21 @And so Joash, king of Israel, went up; and he and Amaziah, king of Judah, came face to face at Beth-shemesh in Judah.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:22 @And Judah was overcome before Israel, and they went in flight, every man to his tent.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:23 @And Joash, king of Israel, made Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, prisoner at Beth-shemesh, and took him to Jerusalem; and he had the wall of Jerusalem pulled down from the doorway of Ephraim to the doorway in the angle, four hundred cubits.

bbe@2Chronicles:25:27 @Now from the time when Amaziah gave up worshipping the Lord, they made secret designs against him in Jerusalem; and he went in flight to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him and put him to death there.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:3 @Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for fifty-two years; his mother's name was Jechiliah of Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:5 @He gave himself to searching after God in the days of Zechariah, who made men wise in the fear of God; and as long as he was true to the Lord, God made things go well for him.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:7 @And God gave him help against the Philistines, and against the Arabians living in Gur-baal, and against the Meunim.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:8 @The Ammonites gave offerings to Uzziah: and news of him went out as far as the limit of Egypt; for he became very great in power.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:10 @And he put up towers in the waste land and made places for storing water, for he had much cattle, in the low hills and in the table land; and he had farmers and vine-keepers in the mountains and in the fertile land, for he was a lover of farming.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:11 @In addition, Uzziah had an army of fighting-men who went out to war in bands, as they had been listed by Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the authority of Hananiah, one of the king's captains

bbe@2Chronicles:26:12 @The heads of families, the strong men of war, were two thousand, six hundred.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:13 @And under their orders was a trained army of three hundred and seven thousand, five hundred, of great strength in war, helping the king against any who came against him.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:14 @And Uzziah had all these forces armed with body-covers and spears and head-covers and coats of metal and bows and stones for sending from leather bands.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:15 @And in Jerusalem he made machines, the invention of expert men, to be placed on the towers and angles of the walls for sending arrows and great stones. And his name was honoured far and wide; for he was greatly helped till he was strong.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:16 @But when he had become strong, his heart was lifted up in pride, causing his destruction; and he did evil against the Lord his God; for he went into the Temple of the Lord for the purpose of burning perfumes on the altar of perfumes.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:17 @And Azariah the priest went in after him, with eighty of the Lord's priests, who were strong men;

bbe@2Chronicles:26:18 @And they made protests to Uzziah the king, and said to him, The burning of perfumes, Uzziah, is not your business but that of the priests, the sons of Aaron, who have been made holy for this work: go out of the holy place, for you have done wrong, and it will not be to your honour before God.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:19 @Then Uzziah was angry; and he had in his hand a vessel for burning perfume; and while his wrath was bitter against the priests, the mark of the leper's disease came out on his brow, before the eyes of the priests in the house of the Lord by the altar of perfumes.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:20 @And Azariah, the chief priest, and all the priests, looking at him, saw the mark of the leper on his brow, and they sent him out quickly and he himself went out straight away, for the Lord's punishment had come on him.

bbe@2Chronicles:26:23 @So Uzziah went to rest with his fathers; and they put his body into the earth in the field used for the resting-place of the kings, for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:1 @Jotham was twenty-five years old when he became king; and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; and his mother's name was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:5 @He went to war with the king of the children of Ammon and overcame them. That year, the children of Ammon gave him a hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of grain and ten thousand measures of barley. And the children of Ammon gave him the same amount the second year and the third.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:6 @So Jotham became strong, because in all his ways he made the Lord his guide.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:8 @He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years.

bbe@2Chronicles:27:9 @And Jotham went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in the town of David; and Ahaz his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:1 @Ahaz was twenty years old when he became king, and he was ruling in Jerusalem for sixteen years; he did not do what was right in the eyes of the Lord, like David his father:

bbe@2Chronicles:28:2 @But he went in the ways of the kings of Israel and made images of metal for the Baals.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:4 @And he made offerings and had perfumes burned in the high places and on the hills and under every green tree.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:5 @So the Lord his God gave him up into the hands of the king of Aram; and they overcame him, and took away a great number of his people as prisoners to Damascus. Then he was given into the hands of the king of Israel, who sent great destruction on him.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:6 @For Pekah, the son of Remaliah, in one day put to death a hundred and twenty thousand men of Judah, all of them good fighting-men; because they had given up the Lord, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:8 @And the children of Israel took away as prisoners from their brothers, two hundred thousand, women and sons and daughters, and a great store of their goods, and took them to Samaria.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:9 @But a prophet of the Lord was there, named Oded; and he went out in front of the army which was coming into Samaria and said to them, Truly, because the Lord, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he gave them up into your hands, and you have put them to death in an outburst of wrath stretching up to heaven.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:10 @And now your purpose is to keep the children of Judah and Jerusalem as men-servants and women-servants under your yoke: but are there no sins against the Lord your God to be seen among yourselves?

bbe@2Chronicles:28:11 @And now give ear to me, and send back the prisoners whom you have taken from your brothers: for the wrath of the Lord is burning against you.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:12 @Then certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah, the son of Johanan, Berechiah, the son of Meshillemoth Jehizkiah, the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, put themselves against those who had come from the war,

bbe@2Chronicles:28:13 @And said to them, You are not to let these prisoners come here; for what you are designing to do will be a cause of sin against the Lord to us, making even greater our sin and our wrongdoing, which now are great enough, and his wrath is burning against Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:14 @So the armed men gave up the prisoners and the goods they had taken to the heads and the meeting of the people.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:15 @And those men who have been named went up and took the prisoners, clothing those among them who were uncovered, with things from the goods which had been taken in the war, and putting robes on them and shoes on their feet; and they gave them food and drink and oil for their bodies, and seating all the feeble among them on asses, they took them to Jericho, the town of palm-trees, to their people, and then went back to Samaria

bbe@2Chronicles:28:16 @At that time King Ahaz sent for help to the king of Assyria.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:17 @For the Edomites had come again, attacking Judah and taking away prisoners.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:18 @And the Philistines, forcing their way into the towns of the lowlands and the south of Judah, had taken Beth-shemesh and Aijalon and Gederoth and Soco, with their daughter-towns, as well as Timnah and Gimzo and their daughter-towns, and were living there.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:20 @Then Tiglath-pileser, king of Assyria, came to him, but was a cause of trouble and not of strength to him.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:21 @For Ahaz took a part of the wealth from the house of the Lord, and from the house of the king and of the great men, and gave it to the king of Assyria; but it was no help to him.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:22 @And in the time of his trouble, this same King Ahaz did even more evil against the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:23 @For he made offerings to the gods of Damascus, who were attacking him, and said, Because the gods of the kings of Aram are giving them help, I will make offerings to them so that they may give me help. But they were the cause of his downfall, and of that of all Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:25 @And in every town of Judah he made high places where perfumes were burned to other gods, awaking the wrath of the Lord, the God of his fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:28:27 @And Ahaz went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the earth in Jerusalem; but they did not put him in the resting-place of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:1 @Hezekiah became king when he was twenty-five years old; and he was king in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years; and his mother's name was Abijah, the daughter of Zechariah.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:5 @And said to them, Give ear to me, O Levites: now make yourselves holy, and make holy the house of the Lord, the God of your fathers, and take away everything unclean from the holy place.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:7 @The doors of his house have been shut and the lights put out; no perfumes have been burned or offerings made to the God of Israel in his holy place.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:8 @And so the wrath of the Lord has come on Judah and Jerusalem, and he has given them up to be a cause of fear and wonder and shame, as your eyes have seen.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:10 @Now it is my purpose to make an agreement with the Lord, the God of Israel, so that the heat of his wrath may be turned away from us.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:11 @My sons, take care now: for you have been marked out by the Lord to come before him and to be his servants, burning offerings to him.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:12 @Then the Levites took their places; Mahath, the son of Amasai, and Joel, the son of Azariah, among the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish, the son of Abdi, and Azariah, the son of Jehallelel; and of the Gershonites, Joah, the son of Zimmah, and Eden, the son of Joah;

bbe@2Chronicles:29:17 @On the first day of the first month the work of making the house holy was started, and on the eighth day they came to the covered way of the Lord; in eight days they made the Lord's house holy, and on the sixteenth day of the first month the work was done

bbe@2Chronicles:29:20 @Then Hezekiah the king got up early, and got together the great men of the town, and went up to the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:23 @Then they took the he-goats for the sin-offering, placing them before the king and the meeting of the people, and they put their hands on them:

bbe@2Chronicles:29:25 @Then he put the Levites in their places in the house of the Lord, with brass and corded instruments of music as ordered by David and Gad, the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for the order was the Lord's, given by his prophets.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:26 @So the Levites took their places with David's instruments, and the priests with their horns.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:27 @And Hezekiah gave the word for the burned offering to be offered on the altar. And when the burned offering was started, then the song of the Lord was started, with the blowing of horns and with all the instruments of David, king of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:29:31 @Then Hezekiah made answer and said, Now that you have given yourselves to the Lord, come near and take offerings and praise-offerings into the house of the Lord. So all the people took in offerings and praise-offerings: and those whose hearts were moved, took in burned offerings.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:1 @Then Hezekiah sent word to all Israel and Judah, and sent letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, requesting them to come to the house of the Lord at Jerusalem, to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:3 @It was not possible to keep it at that time, because not enough priests had made themselves holy, and the people had not come together in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:5 @So it was ordered that word was to be sent out through all Israel, from Beer-sheba to Dan, that they were to come to keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem: because they had not kept it in great numbers in agreement with the law.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:6 @So runners went with letters from the king and his chiefs through all Israel and Judah, by the order of the king, saying, O children of Israel, come back again to the Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, so that he may come again to that small band of you which has been kept safe out of the hands of the kings of Assyria.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:8 @Now do not be hard-hearted, as your fathers were; but give yourselves to the Lord, and come into his holy place, which he has made his for ever, and be the servants of the Lord your God, so that the heat of his wrath may be turned away from you.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:9 @For if you come back to the Lord, those who took away your brothers and your children will have pity on them, and let them come back to this land: for the Lord your God is full of grace and mercy, and his face will not be turned away from you if you come back to him.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:11 @However, some of Asher and Manasseh and Zebulun put away their pride and came to Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:13 @So a very great number of people came together at Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:14 @And they got to work and took away all the altars in Jerusalem, and they put all the vessels for burning perfumes into the stream Kidron.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:15 @Then on the fourteenth day of the second month they put the Passover lambs to death: and the priests and the Levites were shamed, and made themselves holy and took burned offerings into the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:18 @For a great number of the people from Ephraim and Manasseh, Issachar and Zebulun, had not made themselves clean, but they took the Passover meal, though not in the right way. For Hezekiah had made prayer for them, saying, May the good Lord have mercy on everyone

bbe@2Chronicles:30:21 @So the children of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread for seven days with great joy: and the Levites and the priests gave praise to the Lord day by day, making melody to the Lord with loud instruments.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:25 @And all the people of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and those who had come from Israel, and men from other lands who had come from Israel or who were living in Judah, were glad with great joy.

bbe@2Chronicles:30:26 @So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for nothing like this had been seen in Jerusalem from the time of Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:1 @Now when all this was over, all the men of Israel who were present went out into the towns of Judah, causing the stone pillars to be broken up and the wood pillars to be cut down, pulling down the high places and the altars in all Judah and Benjamin, as well as in Ephraim and Manasseh, till all were gone. Then all the children of Israel went back to their towns, every man to his property.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:6 @And the children of Israel and Judah, who were living in the towns of Judah came with the tenth part of their oxen and sheep, and a tenth of all the holy things which were to be given to the Lord their God, and put them in great masses.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:8 @And when Hezekiah and the rulers came and saw all the store of goods, they gave praise to the Lord and to his people Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:10 @And Azariah, the chief priest, of the family of Zadok, said in answer, From the time when the people first came with their offerings into the house of the Lord, we have had food enough, and more than enough: for the blessing of the Lord is on his people; and there is this great store which has not been used.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:12 @And in them they put all the offerings and the tenths and the holy things, keeping nothing back, and over them was Conaniah the Levite, with Shimei his brother second to him.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:13 @And Jehiel and Azaziah and Nahath and Asahel and Jerimoth and Jozabad and Eliel and Ismachiah and Mahath and Benaiah were overseers, under the directions of Conaniah and Shimei his brother, by the order of Hezekiah the king and Azariah, the ruler of the house of God.

bbe@2Chronicles:31:17 @And the families of the priests were listed by their fathers' names, but the Levites, of twenty years old and over, were listed in relation to their work in their divisions;

bbe@2Chronicles:31:19 @And as for the sons of Aaron, the priests, living in the country on the outskirts of their towns, every different town there were men, marked out by name, to give their part of the goods to all the males among the priests, and to all who were listed among the Levites.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:1 @Now after these things and this true-hearted work, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came into Judah, and put his army in position before the walled towns of Judah, designing to make his way into them by force.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:2 @And when Hezekiah saw that Sennacherib had come for the purpose of fighting against Jerusalem,

bbe@2Chronicles:32:3 @He took up with his rulers and men of war the question of stopping up the water-springs outside the town; and they gave him their support.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:4 @So they got together a great number of people, and had all the water-springs and the stream flowing through the land stopped up, saying, Why let the kings of Assyria come and have much water?

bbe@2Chronicles:32:5 @Then he took heart, building up the wall where it was broken down, and making its towers higher, and building another wall outside; and he made strong the Millo in the town of David, and got together a great store of all sorts of instruments of war.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:6 @And he put war chiefs over the people, and sent for them all to come together to him in the wide place at the doorway into the town, and to give them heart he said to them,

bbe@2Chronicles:32:9 @After this, Sennacherib, king of Assyria, sent his servants to Jerusalem (at that time he was stationed with all his army in front of Lachish), to say to Hezekiah and all the men of Judah in Jerusalem,

bbe@2Chronicles:32:12 @Has not this same Hezekiah taken away his high places and his altars, saying to Judah and Jerusalem, Give worship before one altar only, burning offerings on it?

bbe@2Chronicles:32:17 @And he sent letters, in addition, to put shame on the Lord, the God of Israel, and to say evil against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not been able to keep their people safe from my hands, no more will the God of Hezekiah keep his people safe from my hands.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:19 @Talking of the God of Jerusalem as if he was like the gods of the peoples of the earth, the work of men's hands.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:21 @And the Lord sent an angel who put to death all the men of war and the chiefs and the captains in the army of the king of Assyria. So he went back to his country in shame. And when he came into the house of his god, his sons, the offspring of his body, put him to death there with the sword.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:23 @And great numbers came to Jerusalem with offerings for the Lord, and things of great price for Hezekiah, king of Judah: so that he was honoured among all nations from that time

bbe@2Chronicles:32:25 @But Hezekiah did not do as had been done to him; for his heart was lifted up in pride; and so wrath came on him and on Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:26 @But then, Hezekiah, in sorrow for what he had done, put away his pride; and he and all Jerusalem made themselves low, so that the wrath of the Lord did not come on them in Hezekiah's life-time.

bbe@2Chronicles:32:33 @So Hezekiah went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body into the higher part of the resting-places of the sons of David: and all Judah and the people of Jerusalem gave him honour at his death. And Manasseh his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:1 @Manasseh was twelve years old when he became king, and he was ruling for fifty-five years in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:4 @And he made altars in the house of the Lord, of which the Lord had said, In Jerusalem will my name be for ever.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:7 @And he put the image he had made in the house of God, the house of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, the town which I have made mine out of all the tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:

bbe@2Chronicles:33:10 @And the word of the Lord came to Manasseh and his people, but they gave no attention.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:13 @And made prayer to him; and in answer to his prayer God let him come back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh was certain that the Lord was God.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:18 @Now the rest of the acts of Manasseh, and his prayer to his God, and the words which the seers said to him in the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, are recorded among the acts of the kings of Israel.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:20 @So Manasseh went to rest with his fathers, and they put his body to rest in his house, and Amon his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:33:21 @Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king; and he was ruling for two years in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:1 @Josiah was eight years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for thirty-one years.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:3 @In the eighth year of his rule, while he was still young, his heart was first turned to the God of his father David; and in the twelfth year he undertook the clearing away of all the high places and the pillars and the images of wood and metal from Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:4 @He had the altars of the Baals broken down, while he himself was present; and the sun-images which were placed on high over them he had cut down; and the pillars of wood and the metal images he had broken up and crushed to dust, dropping the dust over the resting-places of the dead who had made offerings to them.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:6 @And in all the towns of Manasseh and Ephraim and Simeon as far as Naphtali, he made waste their houses round about.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:9 @And they came to Hilkiah, the chief priest, and gave him all the money which had been taken into the house of God, which the Levites, the keepers of the door, had got from Manasseh and Ephraim and those of Israel who had not been taken away as prisoners, and from all Judah and Benjamin and the people of Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:10 @And they gave it to the overseers of the work of the Lord's house, and the overseers gave it to the workmen working in the house, for building it up and making good what was damaged;

bbe@2Chronicles:34:12 @And the men did the work well; and those who had authority over them were Jahath and Obadiah, Levites of the sons of Merari, and Zechariah and Meshullam, of the sons of the Kohathites, who were to be responsible for seeing that the work was done; and others of the Levites, who were expert with instruments of music,

bbe@2Chronicles:34:14 @Now when they were taking out the money which had come into the Lord's house, Hilkiah the priest came across the book of the law of the Lord, which he had given by the mouth of Moses.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:17 @They have taken out all the money which was in the Lord's house and have given it to the overseers and to the workmen.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:18 @Then Shaphan the scribe said to the king, Hilkiah the priest has given me a book; and he made a start at reading some of it to the king.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:21 @Go and get directions from the Lord for me and for those who are still in Israel and for Judah, about the words of this book which has come to light; for great is the wrath of the Lord which has been let loose on us, because our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord or done what is recorded in this book.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:23 @And she said to them, The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, Say to the man who sent you to me,

bbe@2Chronicles:34:25 @Because they have given me up, burning offerings to other gods and moving me to wrath by all the works of their hands; so my wrath is let loose on this place and will not be put out.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:27 @And your heart was soft, and you made yourself low before God, on hearing his words about this place and its people, and with weeping and signs of grief have made yourself low before me, I have given ear to you, says the Lord God.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:29 @Then the king sent and got together all the responsible men of Judah and of Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:30 @And the king went up to the house of the Lord, with all the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, and the priests and the Levites and all the people, small and great; and they were present at his reading of the book of the law which had come to light in the house of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:31 @Then the king, taking his place by the pillar, made an agreement before the Lord, to go in the way of the Lord, and to keep his orders and his decisions and his rules with all his heart and with all his soul, and to keep the words of the agreement recorded in this book.

bbe@2Chronicles:34:32 @And he made all the people in Jerusalem and Benjamin give their word to keep it. And the people of Jerusalem kept the agreement of God, the God of their fathers.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:12 @And they took away the burned offerings, so that they might give them to be offered to the Lord for the divisions of the families of the people, as it is recorded in the book of Moses. And they did the same with the oxen.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:15 @And the sons of Asaph, the makers of melody, were in their places, as ordered by David and Asaph and Heman and Jeduthun, the king's seer; and the door-keepers were stationed at every door: there was no need for them to go away from their places, for their brothers the Levites made ready for them.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:16 @So everything needed for the worship of the Lord was made ready that same day, for the keeping of the Passover and the offering of burned offerings on the altar of the Lord, as King Josiah had given orders.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:17 @And all the children of Israel who were present kept the Passover and the feast of unleavened bread at that time for seven days.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:21 @But he sent representatives to him, saying, What have I to do with you, O king of Judah? I have not come against you this day, but against those with whom I am at war; and God has given me orders to go forward quickly: keep out of God's way, for he is with me, or he will send destruction on you.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:22 @However, Josiah would not go back; but keeping to his purpose of fighting against him, and giving no attention to the words of Neco, which came from God, he went forward to the fight in the valley of Megiddo.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:23 @And the bowmen sent their arrows at King Josiah, and the king said to his servants, Take me away, for I am badly wounded.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:24 @So his servants took him out of the line of war-carriages, and put him in his second carriage and took him to Jerusalem, where he came to his end, and they put his body in the resting-place of his fathers. And in all Judah and Jerusalem there was great weeping for Josiah.

bbe@2Chronicles:35:25 @And Jeremiah made a song of grief for Josiah; and to this day Josiah is named by all the makers of melody, men and women, in their songs of grief; they made it a rule in Israel; and the songs are recorded among the songs of grief.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:2 @Jehoahaz was twenty-three years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:4 @And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother king over Judah and Jerusalem, changing his name to Jehoiakim. And Neco took his brother Jehoahaz away to Egypt.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:5 @Jehoiakim was twenty-five years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years, and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord his God.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:6 @Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came up against him, and took him away in chains to Babylon.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:7 @And Nebuchadnezzar took away some of the vessels of the Lord's house, and put them in the house of his god in Babylon.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:8 @Now the rest of the acts of Jehoiakim and the disgusting things he did, and all there is to be said against him, are recorded in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah; and Jehoiachin his son became king in his place.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:9 @Jehoiachin was eighteen years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for three months and ten days, and he did evil in the eyes of the Lord.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:11 @Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king; he was ruling in Jerusalem for eleven years.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:14 @And more than this, all the great men of Judah and the priests and the people made their sin great, turning to all the disgusting ways of the nations; and they made unclean the house of the Lord which he had made holy in Jerusalem.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:16 @But they put shame on the servants of God, making sport of his words and laughing at his prophets, till the wrath of God was moved against his people, till there was no help.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:17 @So he sent against them the king of the Chaldaeans, who put their young men to death with the sword in the house of their holy place, and had no pity for any, young man or virgin, old man or white-haired: God gave them all into his hands.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:20 @And all who had not come to death by the sword he took away prisoners to Babylon; and they became servants to him and to his sons till the kingdom of Persia came to power:

bbe@2Chronicles:36:21 @So that the words of the Lord, which he said by the mouth of Jeremiah, might come true, till the land had had pleasure in her Sabbaths; for as long as she was waste the land kept the Sabbath, till seventy years were complete.

bbe@2Chronicles:36:22 @Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order that the words which the Lord had said by the mouth of Jeremiah might come true, the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, was moved by the Lord, and he made a public statement and had it given out through all his kingdom and put in writing, saying,

bbe@2Chronicles:36:23 @Cyrus, king of Persia, has said, All the kingdoms of the earth have been given to me by the Lord, the God of heaven; and he has made me responsible for building a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

bbe@Ezra:1:1 @Now in the first year of Cyrus, king of Persia, in order that the word of the Lord given by the mouth of Jeremiah might come true, the spirit of Cyrus, king of Persia, was moved by the Lord, so that he made a public statement through all his kingdom, and put it in writing, saying,

bbe@Ezra:1:2 @These are the words of Cyrus, king of Persia: The Lord God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has made me responsible for building a house for him in Jerusalem, which is in Judah.

bbe@Ezra:1:4 @And whoever there may be of the rest of Israel, living in any place, let the men of that place give him help with offerings of silver and gold and goods and beasts, in addition to the offering freely given for the house of God in Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:2:2 @Who went with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Seraiah, Reelaiah, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispar, Bigvai, Rehum, Baanah, The number of the men of the people of Israel:

bbe@Ezra:2:22 @The men of Netophah, fifty-six.

bbe@Ezra:2:23 @The men of Anathoth, a hundred and twenty-eight.

bbe@Ezra:2:27 @The men of Michmas, a hundred and twenty-two.

bbe@Ezra:2:52 @The children of Bazluth, the children of Mehida, the children of Harsha,

bbe@Ezra:2:59 @And these were the people who went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addan, and Immer. But having no knowledge of their fathers' families or offspring, it was not certain that they were Israelites;

bbe@Ezra:2:61 @And of the children of the priests: the children of Habaiah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai, who was married to one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and took their name.

bbe@Ezra:2:62 @They made search for their record among the lists of families, but their names were nowhere to be seen; so they were looked on as unclean and no longer priests.

bbe@Ezra:2:63 @And the Tirshatha said that they were not to have the most holy things for their food, till a priest came to give decision by Urim and Thummim.

bbe@Ezra:2:65 @As well as their men-servants and their women-servants, of whom there were seven thousand, three hundred and thirty-seven: and they had two hundred men and women to make music.

bbe@Ezra:2:67 @Four hundred and thirty-five camels, six thousand, seven hundred and twenty asses.

bbe@Ezra:2:68 @And some of the heads of families, when they came to the house of the Lord which is in Jerusalem, gave freely of their wealth for the building up of the house of God in its place:

bbe@Ezra:3:1 @And when the seventh month came, and the children of Israel were in the towns, the people came together like one man to Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:3:7 @And they gave money to the stoneworkers and woodworkers; and meat and drink and oil to the people of Zidon and of Tyre, for the transport of cedar-trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, as Cyrus, king of Persia, had given them authority to do.

bbe@Ezra:3:8 @Now in the second year of their coming into the house of God in Jerusalem, in the second month, the work was taken in hand by Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua, the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the priests and the Levites, and all those who had come from the land where they were prisoners to Jerusalem: and they made the Levites, of twenty years old and over, responsible for overseeing the work of the house of the Lord.

bbe@Ezra:3:9 @Then Jeshua with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel with his sons, the sons of Hodaviah, together took up the work of overseeing the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad with their sons and their brothers, the Levites.

bbe@Ezra:3:10 @And when the builders put in position the base of the Temple of the Lord, the priests, dressed in their robes, took their places with horns, and the Levites, the sons of Asaph, with brass instruments, to give praise to the Lord in the way ordered by David, king of Israel

bbe@Ezra:3:11 @And they gave praise to the Lord, answering one another in their songs and saying, For he is good, for his mercy to Israel is eternal. And all the people gave a great cry of joy, when they gave praise to the Lord, because the base of the Lord's house was put in place.

bbe@Ezra:3:12 @But a number of the priests and Levites and the heads of families, old men who had seen the first house, when the base of this house was put down before their eyes, were overcome with weeping; and a number were crying out with joy:

bbe@Ezra:3:13 @So that in the ears of the people the cry of joy was mixed with the sound of weeping; for the cries of the people were loud and came to the ears of those who were a long way off.

bbe@Ezra:4:1 @Now news came to the haters of Judah and Benjamin that the people who had come back were building a Temple to the Lord, the God of Israel;

bbe@Ezra:4:2 @Then they came to Zerubbabel and to the heads of families, and said to them, Let us take part in the building with you; for we are servants of your God, even as you are; and we have been making offerings to him from the days of Esar-haddon, king of Assyria, who put us here.

bbe@Ezra:4:5 @And they gave payment to men who made designs against them and kept them from effecting their purpose, all through the time of Cyrus, king of Persia, till Darius became king.

bbe@Ezra:4:6 @And in the time of Ahasuerus, when he first became king, they put on record a statement against the people of Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:4:7 @And in the time of Artaxerxes, Bishlam, Mithredath, Tabeel, and the rest of his friends, sent a letter to Artaxerxes, king of Persia, writing it in the Aramaean writing and language.

bbe@Ezra:4:12 @We give news to the king that the Jews who came from you have come to us at Jerusalem; they are building up again that uncontrolled and evil town; the walls are complete and they are joining up the bases.

bbe@Ezra:4:13 @The king may be certain that when the building of this town and its walls is complete, they will give no tax or payment in goods or forced payments, and in the end it will be a cause of loss to the kings.

bbe@Ezra:4:18 @And now the sense of the letter which you sent to us has been made clear to me,

bbe@Ezra:4:20 @Further, there have been great kings in Jerusalem, ruling over all the country across the river, to whom they gave taxes and payments in goods and forced payments.

bbe@Ezra:4:21 @Give an order now, that these men are to do nothing more, and that the building of the town is to be stopped, till I give an order.

bbe@Ezra:4:24 @So the work of the house of God at Jerusalem came to an end; so it was stopped, till the second year of the rule of Darius, king of Persia.

bbe@Ezra:5:1 @Now the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, the son of Iddo, were preaching to the Jews in Judah and Jerusalem in the name of the God of Israel.

bbe@Ezra:5:3 @At the same time, Tattenai, ruler of the land across the river, and Shethar-bozenai, and their men, came to them and said, Who gave you orders to go on building this house and this wall?

bbe@Ezra:5:4 @Then they said these words to them: What are the names of the men who are at work on this building?

bbe@Ezra:5:5 @But the eye of their God was on the chiefs of the Jews, and they did not make them give up working till the question had been put before Darius and an answer had come by letter about it.

bbe@Ezra:5:9 @Then we said to the men responsible, who gave you authority for the building of this house and these walls?

bbe@Ezra:5:10 @And we made request for their names, so that we might send you word, and give you the names of the men at the head of them.

bbe@Ezra:5:11 @And they made answer to us, saying, We are the servants of the God of heaven and earth, and we are building the house which was put up in times long past and was designed and made complete by a great king of Israel.

bbe@Ezra:5:14 @And the gold and silver vessels of the house of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took from the Temple which was in Jerusalem, and put into the house of his god in Babylon, these Cyrus the king took from the house of his god in Babylon, and gave to one named Sheshbazzar, whom he had made ruler;

bbe@Ezra:5:16 @Then this same Sheshbazzar came and put the house of God in Jerusalem on its bases: and from that time till now the building has been going on, but it is still not complete.

bbe@Ezra:6:2 @And at Achmetha, in the great house of the king in the land of Media, they came across a roll, in which this statement was put on record:

bbe@Ezra:6:7 @Let the work of this house of God go on; let the ruler of the Jews and their responsible men put up this house of God in its place.

bbe@Ezra:6:8 @Further, I give orders as to what you are to do for the responsible men of the Jews in connection with the building of this house of God: that from the king's wealth, that is, from the taxes got together in the land over the river, the money needed is to be given to these men readily, so that their work may not be stopped.

bbe@Ezra:6:10 @So that they may make offerings of a sweet smell to the God of heaven, with prayers for the life of the king and of his sons.

bbe@Ezra:6:12 @And may the God who has made it a resting-place for his name send destruction on all kings and peoples whose hands are outstretched to make any change in this or to do damage to this house of God at Jerusalem. I, Darius, have given this order, let it be done with all care.

bbe@Ezra:6:14 @And the responsible men of the Jews went on with their building, and did well, helped by the teaching of Haggai the prophet and Zechariah, the son of Iddo

bbe@Ezra:6:16 @And the children of Israel, the priests and the Levites, and the rest of those who had come back, kept the feast of the opening of this house of God with joy.

bbe@Ezra:6:19 @And the children of Israel who had come back kept the Passover on the fourteenth day of the first month.

bbe@Ezra:6:20 @For the priests and the Levites had made themselves clean together; they were all clean: and they put the Passover lamb to death for all those who had come back, and for their brothers the priests and for themselves.

bbe@Ezra:6:21 @And the children of Israel, who had come back, and all those who were joined to them, after separating themselves from the evil ways of the people of the land to become the servants of the Lord, the God of Israel, took food together,

bbe@Ezra:7:3 @The son of Amariah, the son of Azariah, the son of Meraioth,

bbe@Ezra:7:7 @And some of the children of Israel went up, with some of the priests and the Levites and the music-makers and the door-keepers and the Nethinim, to Jerusalem, in the seventh year of Artaxerxes the king.

bbe@Ezra:7:8 @And he came to Jerusalem in the fifth month, in the seventh year of the king's rule.

bbe@Ezra:7:9 @For, starting his journey from Babylon on the first day of the first month, he came to Jerusalem on the first day of the fifth month, by the good help of his God.

bbe@Ezra:7:14 @Because you are sent by the king and his seven wise men, to get knowledge about Judah and Jerusalem, as you are ordered by the law of your God which is in your hand;

bbe@Ezra:7:15 @And to take with you the silver and gold freely offered by the king and his wise men to the God of Israel, whose Temple is in Jerusalem,

bbe@Ezra:7:17 @So with this money get with care oxen, sheep, and lambs, with their meal offerings and their drink offerings, to be offered on the altar of the house of your God, which is in Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:7:22 @Up to a hundred talents of silver, a hundred measures of grain, a hundred measures of wine, and a hundred measures of oil, and salt without measure.

bbe@Ezra:7:24 @In addition, we make it clear to you, that it will be against the law to put any tax or payment in goods or forced payment on any of the priests or Levites, the music-makers, door-keepers, Nethinim, or any servants of this house of God.

bbe@Ezra:7:26 @And if anyone does not keep the law of your God and the law of the king, take care that punishment is given to him, by death or by driving him from his country or by taking away his goods or by putting him in prison.

bbe@Ezra:7:28 @And has given mercy to me before the king and his government and before all the king's great captains. And I was made strong by the hand of the Lord my God which was on me, and I got together out of Israel chief men to go up with me.

bbe@Ezra:8:1 @Now these are the heads of families who were listed of those who went up with me from Babylon, when Artaxerxes was king.

bbe@Ezra:8:13 @And of the sons of Adonikam, the last, whose names were Eliphelet, Jeuel, and Shemaiah; and with them sixty males.

bbe@Ezra:8:15 @And I made them come together by the river flowing to Ahava; and we were there in tents for three days: and after viewing the people and the priests I saw that no sons of Levi were there.

bbe@Ezra:8:16 @Then I sent for Eliezer and Ariel and Shemaiah and Elnathan Jarib and Elnathan and Nathan and Zechariah and Meshullam, all responsible men; and for Joiarib and Elnathan, who were wise men.

bbe@Ezra:8:17 @And I sent them to Iddo the chief at the place Casiphia, and gave them orders what to say to Iddo and his brothers the Nethinim at the place Casiphia, so that they might come back to us with men to do the work of the house of our God.

bbe@Ezra:8:19 @And Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty;

bbe@Ezra:8:20 @And of the Nethinim, to whom David and the captains had given the work of helping the Levites, two hundred and twenty Nethinim, all of them specially named.

bbe@Ezra:8:21 @Then I gave orders for a time of going without food, there by the river Ahava, so that we might make ourselves low before our God in prayer, requesting from him a straight way for us and for our little ones and for all our substance.

bbe@Ezra:8:22 @For I would not, for shame, make request to the king for a band of armed men and horsemen to give us help against those who might make attacks on us on the way: for we had said to the king, The hand of our God is on his servants for good, but his power and his wrath are against all those who are turned away from him.

bbe@Ezra:8:25 @And gave to them by weight the silver and the gold and the vessels, all the offering for the house of our God which the king and his wise men and his captains and all Israel there present had given:

bbe@Ezra:8:26 @Measuring into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and silver vessels, a hundred talents' weight, and a hundred talents of gold,

bbe@Ezra:8:32 @And we came to Jerusalem and were there for three days.

bbe@Ezra:8:33 @And on the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the vessels were measured out by weight in the house of our God into the hands of Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the priest; and with him was Eleazar, the son of Phinehas; and with them were Jozabad, the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, the son of Binnui, the Levites;

bbe@Ezra:8:34 @All was handed over by number and by weight: and the weight was put on record at that time.

bbe@Ezra:8:35 @And those who had been prisoners, who had come back from a strange land, made burned offerings to the God of Israel, twelve oxen for all Israel, ninety-six male sheep, seventy-seven lambs, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all this was a burned offering to the Lord.

bbe@Ezra:9:1 @Now after these things were done, the captains came to me and said, The people of Israel and the priests and Levites have not kept themselves separate from the people of the lands, but have taken part in the disgusting ways of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites.

bbe@Ezra:9:4 @Then everyone who went in fear of the words of the God of Israel, because of the sin of those who had come back, came together to me; and I kept where I was, overcome with grief, till the evening offering.

bbe@Ezra:9:6 @I said, O my God, shame keeps me from lifting up my face to you, my God: for our sins are increased higher than our heads and our evil-doing has come up to heaven.

bbe@Ezra:9:7 @From the days of our fathers till this day we have been great sinners; and for our sins, we and our kings and our priests have been given up into the hands of the kings of the lands, to the sword and to prison and to loss of goods and to shame of face, as it is this day.

bbe@Ezra:9:8 @And now for a little time grace has come to us from the Lord our God, to let a small band of us get free and to give us a nail in his holy place, so that our God may give light to our eyes and a measure of new life in our prison chains.

bbe@Ezra:9:9 @For we are servants; but our God has not been turned away from us in our prison, but has had mercy on us before the eyes of the kings of Persia, to give us new strength to put up again the house of our God and to make fair its waste places, and to give us a wall in Judah and Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezra:9:13 @And after everything which has come on us because of our evil-doing and our great sin, and seeing that the punishment which you, O God, have given us, is less than the measure of our sins, and that you have kept from death those of us who are here;

bbe@Ezra:10:1 @Now while Ezra was making his prayer and his statement of wrongdoing, weeping and falling down before the house of God, a very great number of men and women and children out of Israel came together round him: for the people were weeping bitterly.

bbe@Ezra:10:2 @And Shecaniah, the son of Jehiel, one of the sons of Elam, answering, said to Ezra, We have done evil against our God, and have taken as our wives strange women of the peoples of the land: but still there is hope for Israel in this question.

bbe@Ezra:10:3 @Let us now make an agreement with our God to put away all the wives and all their children, if it seems right to my lord and to those who go in fear of the words of our God; and let it be done in keeping with the law.

bbe@Ezra:10:6 @Then Ezra got up from before the house of God and went into the room of Jehohanan, the son of Eliashib; but when he came there, he took no food or drink, for he was sorrowing for the sin of those who had come back.

bbe@Ezra:10:7 @And they made a public statement through all Judah and Jerusalem, to all those who had come back, that they were to come together to Jerusalem;

bbe@Ezra:10:8 @And that if anyone did not come before three days were past, as ordered by the rulers and the responsible men, all his goods would be put under the curse, and he himself would be cut off from the meeting of the people who had come back.

bbe@Ezra:10:9 @Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin came together to Jerusalem before three days were past; it was the ninth month, on the twentieth day of the month; and all the people were seated in the wide square in front of the house of God, shaking with fear because of this business and because of the great rain

bbe@Ezra:10:10 @And Ezra the priest got to his feet and said to them, You have done wrong and taken strange women for your wives, so increasing the sin of Israel.

bbe@Ezra:10:11 @So now, give praise to the Lord, the God of your fathers, and do his pleasure; and make yourselves separate from the peoples of the land and from the strange women.

bbe@Ezra:10:13 @But the number of people is great, and it is a time of much rain; it is not possible for us to go on waiting outside, and this is not a thing which may be done in one day or even two: for our sin in this business is great.

bbe@Ezra:10:14 @So now let our rulers be representatives for all the people, and let all those in our towns who are married to strange women come at fixed times, and with them the responsible men and the judges of every town, till the burning wrath of our God is turned away from us, and this has been done.

bbe@Ezra:10:15 @Only Jonathan, the son of Asahel, and Jahzeiah, the son of Tikvah, were against this, Meshullam and Shabbethai the Levite supporting them.

bbe@Ezra:10:16 @So those who had come back did so. And Ezra the priest, with certain heads of families, by their fathers' families, all of them by their names, were marked out; and on the first day of the tenth month they took their places to go into the question with care.

bbe@Ezra:10:17 @And they got to the end of all the men who were married to strange women by the first day of the first month.

bbe@Ezra:10:18 @And among the sons of the priests who were married to strange women were these: of the sons of Jeshua, the son of Jozadak and his brothers, Maaseiah and Eliezer and Jarib and Gedaliah.

bbe@Ezra:10:20 @And of the sons of Immer, Hanani and Zebadiah.

bbe@Ezra:10:23 @And of the Levites, Jozabad, and Shimei, and Kelaiah (that is Kelita), Pethahiah, Judah, and Eliezer.

bbe@Ezra:10:29 @And of the sons of Bani, Meshullam, Malluch, and Adaiah, Jashub and Sheal, Jeremoth.

bbe@Ezra:10:31 @And of the sons of Harim, Eliezer, Isshijah, Malchijah, Shemaiah, Shimeon,

bbe@Ezra:10:33 @Of the sons of Hashum, Mattenai, Mattattah, Zabad, Eliphelet, Jeremai, Manasseh, Shimei.

bbe@Ezra:10:36 @Vaniah, Meremoth, Eliashib,

bbe@Ezra:10:38 @And Bani and Binnui, Shimei;

bbe@Ezra:10:44 @All these had taken strange wives; and some of them had wives by whom they had offspring.

bbe@Nehemiah:1:1 @The history of Nehemiah, the son of Hacaliah. Now it came about, in the month Chislev, in the twentieth year, when I was in Shushan, the king's town,

bbe@Nehemiah:1:2 @That Hanani, one of my brothers, came with certain men from Judah; and in answer to my request for news of the Jews who had been prisoners and had got away, and of Jerusalem,

bbe@Nehemiah:1:3 @They said to me, The small band of Jews now living there in the land are in great trouble and shame: the wall of Jerusalem has been broken down, and its doorways burned with fire.

bbe@Nehemiah:1:4 @Then, after hearing these words, for some days I gave myself up to weeping and sorrow, seated on the earth; and taking no food I made prayer to the God of heaven,

bbe@Nehemiah:1:5 @And said, O Lord, the God of heaven, the great God, greatly to be feared, keeping faith and mercy with those who have love for him and are true to his laws:

bbe@Nehemiah:1:6 @Let your ear now take note and let your eyes be open, so that you may give ear to the prayer of your servant, which I make before you at this time, day and night, for the children of Israel, your servants, while I put before you the sins of the children of Israel, which we have done against you: truly, I and my father's people are sinners.

bbe@Nehemiah:1:9 @But if you come back to me and keep my orders and do them, even if those of you who have been forced out are living in the farthest parts of heaven, I will get them from there, and take them back to the place marked out by me for the resting-place of my name.

bbe@Nehemiah:1:11 @O Lord, let your ear take note of the prayer of your servant, and of the prayers of your servants, who take delight in worshipping your name: give help, O Lord, to your servant this day, and let him have mercy in the eyes of this man. (Now I was the king's wine-servant.)

bbe@Nehemiah:2:1 @And it came about in the month Nisan, in the twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, when wine was before him, that I took up the wine and gave it to the king. Now I had never before been sad when the king was present.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:2 @And the king said to me, Why is your face sad, seeing that you are not ill? this is nothing but sorrow of heart. Then I was full of fear;

bbe@Nehemiah:2:4 @Then the king said to me, What is your desire? So I made prayer to the God of heaven.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:5 @And I said to the king, If it is the king's pleasure, and if your servant has your approval, send me to Judah, to the town where the bodies of my fathers are at rest, so that I may take in hand the building of it.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:6 @And the king said to me (the queen being seated by his side), How long will your journey take, and when will you come back? So the king was pleased to send me, and I gave him a fixed time.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:7 @Further, I said to the king, If it is the king's pleasure, let letters be given to me for the rulers across the river, so that they may let me go through till I come to Judah;

bbe@Nehemiah:2:8 @And a letter to Asaph, the keeper of the king's park, so that he may give me wood to make boards for the doors of the tower of the house, and for the wall of the town, and for the house which is to be mine. And the king gave me this, for the hand of my God was on me.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:9 @Then I came to the rulers of the lands across the river and gave them the king's letters. Now the king had sent with me captains of the army and horsemen.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:10 @And Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, hearing of it, were greatly troubled because a man had come to the help of the children of Israel.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:11 @So I came to Jerusalem and was there three days.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:12 @And in the night I got up, taking with me a small band of men; I said nothing to any man of what God had put into my heart to do for Jerusalem: and I had no beast with me but the one on which I was seated.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:15 @Then in the night, I went up by the stream, viewing the wall; then turning back, I went in by the door in the valley, and so came back.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:17 @Then I said to them, You see what a bad condition we are in; how Jerusalem is a waste, and its doorways burned with fire: come, let us get to work, building up the wall of Jerusalem, so that we may no longer be put to shame.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:18 @Then I gave them an account of how the hand of my God was on me, helping me; and of the king's words which he had said to me. And they said, Let us get to work on the building. So they made their hands strong for the good work.

bbe@Nehemiah:2:20 @Then answering them I said, The God of heaven, he will be our help; so we his servants will go on with our building: but you have no part or right or any name in Jerusalem.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:1 @Then Eliashib, the chief priest, got up with his brothers the priests, and took in hand the building of the sheep doorway; they made it holy and put its doors in position; as far as the tower of Hammeah they made it holy, even to the tower of Hananel.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:2 @And by his side the men of Jericho were building. And after them, Zaccur, the son of Imri.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:4 @By their side Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz, was making good the walls. Then Meshullam, the son of Berechiah, the son of Meshezabel; and by him, Zadok, the son of Baana.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:6 @Joiada, the son of Paseah, and Meshullam, the son of Besodeiah, made good the old doorway; they put its boards in place and put up its doors, with their locks and rods.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:7 @By their side were working Melatiah the Gibeonite and Jadon the Meronothite, the men of Gibeon and of Mizpah from the seat of the ruler across the river.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:8 @Near them was working Uzziel, the son of Harhaiah, the gold-worker. And by him was Hananiah, one of the perfume-makers, building up Jerusalem as far as the wide wall.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:16 @By his side was working Nehemiah, the son of Azbuk, ruler of half the division of Beth-zur, as far as the place opposite the last resting-places of David's family, and the pool which was made and the house of the men of war.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:17 @Then came the Levites, Rehum, the son of Bani. By his side was working Hashabiah, ruler of half the division of Keilah, for his division.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:21 @After him Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the son of Hakkoz, was working on another part, from the door of the house of Eliashib as far as the end of his house.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:22 @After him were working the priests, the men of the lowland.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:23 @After them came Benjamin and Hasshub, opposite their house. After them Azariah, the son of Maaseiah, the son of Ananiah, made good the wall by the house where he himself was living.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:25 @Palal, the son of Uzai, made good the wall opposite the angle and the tower which comes out from the higher part of the king's house, by the open space of the watch. After him was Pedaiah, the son of Parosh.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:26 @(Now the Nethinim were living in the Ophel, as far as the place facing the water doorway to the east, and the tower which comes out.)

bbe@Nehemiah:3:27 @After him the Tekoites were making good another part, opposite the great tower which comes out, and up to the wall of the Ophel.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:29 @After them Zadok, the son of Immer, was working opposite his house. And after him Shemaiah, the son of Shecaniah, the keeper of the east door.

bbe@Nehemiah:3:30 @After him Hananiah, the son of Shelemiah, and Hanun, the sixth son of Zalaph, were making good another part. After him Meshullam, the son of Berechiah, made good the wall opposite his room.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:2 @And in the hearing of his countrymen and the army of Samaria he said, What are these feeble Jews doing? will they make themselves strong? will they make offerings? will they get the work done in a day? will they make the stones which have been burned come again out of the dust?

bbe@Nehemiah:4:4 @Give ear, O our God, for we are looked down on: let their words of shame be turned back on themselves, and let them be given up to wasting in a land where they are prisoners:

bbe@Nehemiah:4:7 @But when it came to the ears of Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabians and the Ammonites and the Ashdodites, that the building of the walls of Jerusalem was going forward and the broken places were being made good, they were full of wrath;

bbe@Nehemiah:4:8 @And they made designs, all of them together, to come and make an attack on Jerusalem, causing trouble there.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:9 @But we made our prayer to God, and had men on watch against them day and night because of them.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:10 @And Judah said, The strength of the workmen is giving way, and there is much waste material; it is impossible for us to put up the wall

bbe@Nehemiah:4:11 @And those who were against us said, Without their knowledge and without their seeing us, we will come among them and put them to death, causing the work to come to a stop.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:12 @And it came about that when the Jews who were living near them came, they said to us ten times, From all directions they are coming against us.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:15 @And when it came to the ears of those who were against us, that we had knowledge of their designs and that God had made their purpose come to nothing, we all went back to the wall, everyone to his work

bbe@Nehemiah:4:16 @And from that time, half of my servants were doing their part of the work, and half kept the spears and body-covers and the bows and the metal war-dresses; and the chiefs were at the back of the men of Judah.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:20 @Wherever you may be when the horn is sounded, come here to us; our God will be fighting for us.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:22 @And at the same time I said to the people, Let everyone with his servant come inside Jerusalem for the night, so that at night they may keep watch for us, and go on working by day.

bbe@Nehemiah:4:23 @So not one of us, I or my brothers or my servants or the watchmen who were with me, took off his clothing, everyone went armed to the water.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:1 @Then there was a great outcry from the people and their wives against their countrymen the Jews.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:2 @For there were some who said, We, our sons and our daughters, are a great number: let us get grain, so that we may have food for our needs.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:3 @And there were some who said, We are giving our fields and our vine-gardens and our houses for debt: let us get grain because we are in need.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:5 @But our flesh is the same as the flesh of our countrymen, and our children as their children: and now we are giving our sons and daughters into the hands of others, to be their servants, and some of our daughters are servants even now: and we have no power to put a stop to it; for other men have our fields and our vine-gardens.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:7 @And after turning it over in my mind, I made a protest to the chiefs and the rulers, and said to them, Every one of you is taking interest from his countryman. And I got together a great meeting of protest.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:8 @And I said to them, We have given whatever we were able to give, to make our brothers the Jews free, who were servants and prisoners of the nations: and would you now give up your brothers for a price, and are they to become our property? Then they said nothing, answering not a word.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:9 @And I said, What you are doing is not good: is it not the more necessary for you to go in the fear of our God, because of the shame which the nations may put on us?

bbe@Nehemiah:5:13 @And shaking out the folds of my robe, I said, So may God send out from his house and his work every man who does not keep this agreement; even so let him be sent out and made as nothing. And all the meeting of the people said, So be it, and gave praise to the Lord. And the people did as they had said.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:14 @Now from the time when I was made ruler of the people in the land of Judah, from the twentieth year till the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes the king, for twelve years, I and my servants have never taken the food which was the right of the ruler.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:15 @But earlier rulers who were before me made the people responsible for their upkeep, and took from them bread and wine at the rate of forty shekels of silver; and even their servants were lords over the people: but I did not do so, because of the fear of God.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:17 @And more than this, a hundred and fifty of the Jews and the rulers were guests at my table, in addition to those who came to us from the nations round about us.

bbe@Nehemiah:5:18 @Now the food made ready for one day was one ox and six fat sheep, as well as fowls; and once in ten days a store of all sorts of wine: but all the same, I did not take the food to which the ruler had a right, because the people were crushed under a hard yoke.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:2 @Sanballat and Geshem sent to me saying, Come, let us have a meeting in one of the little towns in the lowland of Ono. But their purpose was to do me evil.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:3 @And I sent men to them saying, I am doing a great work, so that it is not possible for me to come down: is the work to be stopped while I go away from it and come down to you?

bbe@Nehemiah:6:4 @And four times they sent to me in this way, and I sent them the same answer.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:5 @Then Sanballat sent his servant to me a fifth time with an open letter in his hand;

bbe@Nehemiah:6:7 @And that you have prophets preaching about you in Jerusalem, and saying, There is a king in Judah: now an account of these things will be sent to the king. So come now, and let us have a discussion.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:9 @For they were hoping to put fear in us, saying, Their hands will become feeble and give up the work so that it may not get done. But now, O God, make my hands strong.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:10 @And I went to the house of Shemaiah, the son of Delaiah, the son of Mehetabel, who was shut up; and he said, Let us have a meeting in the house of God, inside the Temple, and let the doors be shut: for they will come to put you to death; truly, in the night they will come to put you to death.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:12 @Then it became clear to me that God had not sent him: he had given this word of a prophet against me himself: and Tobiah and Sanballat had given him money to do so.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:13 @For this reason they had given him money, in order that I might be overcome by fear and do what he said and do wrong, and so they would have reason to say evil about me and put shame on me.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:14 @Keep in mind, O my God, Tobiah and Sanballat and what they did, and Noadiah, the woman prophet, and the rest of the prophets whose purpose was to put fear into me

bbe@Nehemiah:6:16 @And when our haters had news of this, all the nations round about us were full of fear and were greatly shamed, for they saw that this work had been done by our God.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:17 @And further, in those days the chiefs of Judah sent a number of letters to Tobiah, and his letters came to them.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:18 @For in Judah there were a number of people who had made an agreement by oath with him, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah, the son of Arah; and his son Jehohanan had taken as his wife the daughter of Meshullam, the son of Berechiah.

bbe@Nehemiah:6:19 @And they said much before me of the good he had done, and gave him accounts of my words. And Tobiah sent letters with the purpose of causing me fear.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:2 @I made my brother Hanani, and Hananiah, the ruler of the tower, responsible for the government of Jerusalem: for he was a man of good faith, fearing God more than most.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:3 @And I said to them, Do not let the doors of Jerusalem be open till the sun is high; and while the watchmen are in their places, let the doors be shut and locked: and let the people of Jerusalem be put on watch, every one in his watch, opposite his house.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:5 @And my God put it into my heart to get together the rulers and the chiefs and the people so that they might be listed by families. And I came across a record of the names of those who came up at the first, and in it I saw these words:

bbe@Nehemiah:7:7 @Who came with Zerubbabel, Jeshua, Nehemiah, Azariah, Raamiah, Nahamani, Mordecai, Bilshan, Mispereth, Bigvai, Nehum, Baanah. The number of the men of the people of Israel:

bbe@Nehemiah:7:26 @The men of Beth-lehem and Netophah, a hundred and eighty-eight.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:27 @The men of Anathoth, a hundred and twenty-eight.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:28 @The men of Beth-azmaveth, forty-two.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:29 @The men of Kiriath-jearim, Chephirah, and Beeroth, seven hundred and forty-three.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:30 @The men of Ramah and Geba, six hundred and twenty-one.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:31 @The men of Michmas, a hundred and twenty-two.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:32 @The men of Beth-el and Ai, a hundred and twenty-three.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:33 @The men of the other Nebo, fifty-two.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:40 @The children of Immer, a thousand and fifty-two.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:52 @The children of Besai, the children of Meunim, the children of Nephushesim,

bbe@Nehemiah:7:54 @The children of Bazlith, the children of Mehida, the children of Harsha,

bbe@Nehemiah:7:61 @All these were the people who went up from Tel-melah, Tel-harsha, Cherub, Addon, and Immer; but because they had no knowledge of their fathers' families or offspring, it was not certain if they were Israelites:

bbe@Nehemiah:7:63 @And of the priests: the children of Hobaiah, the children of Hakkoz, the children of Barzillai, who was married to one of the daughters of Barzillai the Gileadite, and took their name.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:64 @They made search for their record among the lists of families, but their names were nowhere to be seen, so they were looked on as unclean and no longer priests.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:65 @And the Tirshatha said that they were not to have the most holy things for their food, till a priest came to give decision by the Urim and Thummim.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:67 @As well as their men-servants and their women-servants, of whom there were seven thousand, three hundred and thirty-seven; and they had two hundred and forty-five men and women to make music.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:69 @Four hundred and thirty-five camels, six thousand, seven hundred and twenty asses.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:70 @And some of the heads of families gave money for the work. The Tirshatha gave into the store a thousand darics of gold, fifty basins, five hundred and thirty priests' robes.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:71 @And some of the heads of families gave into the store for the work twenty thousand darics of gold, and two thousand, two hundred pounds of silver.

bbe@Nehemiah:7:73 @So the priests and the Levites and the door-keepers and the music-makers and some of the people and the Nethinim, and all Israel, were living in their towns.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:1 @And when the seventh month came, the children of Israel were in their towns. And all the people came together like one man into the wide place in front of the water-doorway; and they made a request to Ezra the scribe that he would put before them the book of the law of Moses which the Lord had given to Israel.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:2 @And Ezra the priest put the law before the meeting of the people, before the men and women and all those who were able to take it in, on the first day of the seventh month.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:3 @He was reading it in the wide place in front of the water-doorway, from early morning till the middle of the day, in the hearing of all those men and women whose minds were able to take it in; and the ears of all the people were open to the book of the law.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:4 @And Ezra the scribe took his place on a tower of wood which they had made for the purpose; and by his side were placed Mattithiah and Shema and Anaiah and Uriah and Hilkiah and Maaseiah on the right; and on the left, Pedaiah and Mishael and Malchijah and Hashum and Hashbaddanah, Zechariah and Meshullam.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:10 @Then he said to them, Go away now, and take the fat for your food and the sweet for your drink, and send some to him for whom nothing is made ready: for this day is holy to our Lord: and let there be no grief in your hearts; for the joy of the Lord is your strong place.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:13 @And on the second day the heads of families of all the people and the priests and the Levites came together to Ezra the scribe, to give attention to the words of the law.

bbe@Nehemiah:8:17 @All the people who had been prisoners and had come back, made tents and were living in them: for from the time of Jeshua, the son of Nun, till that day, the children of Israel had not done so. And there was very great joy.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:1 @Now on the twenty-fourth day of this month the children of Israel came together, taking no food and putting haircloth and dust on their bodies.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:2 @And the seed of Israel made themselves separate from all the men of other nations, publicly requesting forgiveness for their sins and the wrongdoing of their fathers.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:5 @Then the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah, and Pethahiah said, Get up and give praise to the Lord your God for ever and ever. Praise be to your great name which is lifted up high over all blessing and praise.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:7 @You are the Lord, the God, who took Abram and made him yours, guiding him from Ur of the Chaldees, and gave him the name of Abraham;

bbe@Nehemiah:9:8 @You saw that his heart was true to you, and made an agreement with him to give the land of the Canaanite, the Hittite, the Amorite and the Perizzite and the Jebusite and the Girgashite, even to give it to his seed, and you have done what you said; for righteousness is yours:

bbe@Nehemiah:9:9 @And you saw the trouble of our fathers in Egypt, and their cry came to your ears by the Red Sea;

bbe@Nehemiah:9:10 @And you did signs and wonders on Pharaoh and all his servants and all the people of his land; for you saw how cruel they were to them. So you got yourself a name as it is today.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:13 @And you came down on Mount Sinai, and your voice came to them from heaven, giving them right decisions and true laws, good rules and orders:

bbe@Nehemiah:9:15 @And you gave them bread from heaven when they were in need, and made water come out of the rock for their drink, and gave them orders to go in and take for their heritage the land which your hand had been lifted up to give them.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:17 @And would not do them, and gave no thought to the wonders you had done among them; but made their necks stiff, and turning away from you, made a captain over themselves to take them back to their prison in Egypt: but you are a God of forgiveness, full of grace and pity, slow to wrath and great in mercy, and you did not give them up.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:18 @Even when they had made for themselves an ox of metal, and said, This is your God who took you up out of Egypt, and had done so much to make you angry;

bbe@Nehemiah:9:19 @Even then, in your great mercy, you did not give them up in the waste land: the pillar of cloud still went before them by day, guiding them on their way, and the pillar of fire by night, to give them light, and make clear the way they were to go.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:21 @Truly, for forty years you were their support in the waste land, and they were in need of nothing; their clothing did not get old or their feet become tired.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:24 @So the children went in and took the land, and you overcame before them the people of the land, the Canaanites, and gave them up into their hands, with their kings and the people of the land, so that they might do with them whatever it was their pleasure to do.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:25 @And they took walled towns and a fat land, and became the owners of houses full of all good things, water-holes cut in the rock, vine-gardens and olive-gardens and a wealth of fruit-trees: so they had food enough and became fat, and had joy in the good you gave them.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:27 @And so you gave them up into the hands of their haters who were cruel to them: and in the time of their trouble, when they made their prayer to you, you gave ear to them from heaven; and in your great mercy gave them saviours, who made them free from the hands of their haters.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:28 @But when they had rest, they did evil again before you: so you gave them into the hands of their haters, who had rule over them: but when they came back and made their prayer to you, you gave ear to them from heaven; again and again, in your mercy, you gave them salvation;

bbe@Nehemiah:9:29 @And gave witness against them so that you might make them come back again to your law: but their hearts were lifted up, and they gave no attention to your orders and went against your decisions (which, if a man keeps them, will be life to him), and turning their backs on you, made their necks stiff and did not give ear.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:31 @Even then, in your great mercy, you did not put an end to them completely, or give them up; for you are a God of grace and mercy.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:32 @And now, our God, the great, the strong, the God who is to be feared, who keeps faith and mercy, let not all this trouble seem small to you, which has come on us, and on our kings and our rulers and on our priests and our prophets and our fathers and on all your people from the time of the kings of Assyria till this day.

bbe@Nehemiah:9:33 @But still, you have been in the right in everything which has come on us; you have been true to us, but we have done evil:

bbe@Nehemiah:9:38 @And because of all this we are making an agreement in good faith, and putting it in writing; and our rulers, our Levites, and our priests are putting their names to it.

bbe@Nehemiah:10:34 @And we, the priests and the Levites and the people, made selection, by the decision of the Lord, of those who were to take the wood offering into the house of God, by families at the regular times, year by year, to be burned on the altar of the Lord our God, as it is recorded in the law;

bbe@Nehemiah:10:37 @And that we would take the first of our rough meal, and our lifted offerings, and the fruit of every sort of tree, and wine and oil, to the priests, to the rooms of the house of our God; and the tenth of the produce of our land to the Levites; for they, the Levites, take a tenth in all the towns of our ploughed land.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:27 @And when the time came for the wall of Jerusalem to be made holy, they sent for the Levites out of all their places to come to Jerusalem, to keep the feast with joy, and with praise and melody, with brass and corded instruments of music.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:28 @And the sons of the music-makers came together from the lowland round about Jerusalem and from the daughter-towns of the Netophathites,

bbe@Nehemiah:12:31 @Then I made the rulers of Judah come up on the wall, and I put in position two great bands of them who gave praise, walking in ordered lines; one went to the right on the wall, in the direction of the doorway where the waste was put;

bbe@Nehemiah:12:33 @And Azariah, Ezra, and Meshullam,

bbe@Nehemiah:12:35 @And certain of the priests' sons with wind instruments; Zechariah, the son of Jonathan, the son of Shemaiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Micaiah, the son of Zaccur, the son of Asaph,

bbe@Nehemiah:12:36 @And his brothers, Shemaiah, and Azarel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethanel and Judah, Hanani, with the music-instruments of David, the man of God; and Ezra the scribe was at their head;

bbe@Nehemiah:12:39 @And over the doorway of Ephraim and by the old door and the fish door and the tower of Hananel and the tower of Hammeah, as far as the sheep door: and at the doorway of the watchmen they came to a stop.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:40 @So the two bands of those who gave praise took up their positions in the house of God, and I and half of the chiefs with me:

bbe@Nehemiah:12:41 @And the priests; Eliakim, Maaseiah, Miniamin, Micaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with wind instruments;

bbe@Nehemiah:12:42 @And Maaseiah and Shemaiah and Eleazar and Uzzi and Jehohanan and Malchijah and Elam and Ezer. And the makers of melody made their voices loud, with Jezrahiah their overseer.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:43 @And on that day they made great offerings and were glad; for God had made them glad with great joy; and the women and the children were glad with them: so that the joy of Jerusalem came to the ears of those who were far off.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:44 @And on that day certain men were put over the rooms where the things which had been given were stored, for the lifted offerings and the first-fruits and the tenths, and to take into them the amounts, from the fields of every town, fixed by the law for the priests and the Levites: for Judah was glad on account of the priests and the Levites who were in their places.

bbe@Nehemiah:12:47 @And all Israel in the days of Zerubbabel and in the days of Nehemiah gave what was needed by the music-makers and the door-keepers day by day: and they made the offerings holy for the Levites; and the Levites did the same for the sons of Aaron.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:1 @On that day there was a reading from the book of Moses in the hearing of the people; and they saw that it said in the book that no Ammonite or Moabite might ever come into the meeting of God;

bbe@Nehemiah:13:2 @Because they did not give the children of Israel bread and water when they came to them, but got Balaam to put a curse on them: though the curse was turned into a blessing by our God.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:5 @Had made ready for him a great room, where at one time they kept the meal offerings, the perfume, and the vessels and the tenths of the grain and wine and oil which were given by order to the Levites and the music-makers and the door-keepers, and the lifted offerings for the priests.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:6 @But all this time I was not at Jerusalem: for in the thirty-second year of Artaxerxes, king of Babylon, I went to the king; and after some days, I got the king to let me go,

bbe@Nehemiah:13:7 @And I came to Jerusalem; and it was clear to me what evil Eliashib had done for Tobiah, in making ready for him a room in the buildings of the house of God.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:9 @Then I gave orders, and they made the rooms clean: and I put back in them the vessels of the house of God, with the meal offerings and the perfume.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:12 @Then all Judah came with the tenth part of the grain and wine and oil and put it into the store-houses.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:13 @And I made controllers over the store-houses, Shelemiah the priest and Zadok the scribe, and of the Levites, Pedaiah: and with them was Hanan, the son of Zaccur the son of Mattaniah: they were taken to be true men and their business was the distribution of these things to their brothers.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:14 @Keep me in mind, O my God, in connection with this, and do not let the good which I have done for the house of my God and its worship go from your memory completely.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:15 @In those days, I saw in Judah some who were crushing grapes on the Sabbath, and getting in grain and putting it on asses; as well as wine and grapes and figs and all sorts of goods which they took into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: and I gave witness against them on the day when they were marketing food

bbe@Nehemiah:13:16 @And there were men of Tyre there, who came with fish and all sorts of goods, trading with the children of Judah and in Jerusalem on the Sabbath.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:18 @Did not your fathers do the same, and did not our God send all this evil on us and on this town? but you are causing more wrath to come on Israel by not keeping the Sabbath holy.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:19 @And so, when the streets of Jerusalem were getting dark before the Sabbath, I gave orders for the doors to be shut and not to be open again till after the Sabbath: and I put some of my servants by the door so that nothing might be taken in on the Sabbath day.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:21 @Then I gave witness against them and said, Why are you waiting all night by the wall? if you do so again I will have you taken prisoners. From that time they did not come again on the Sabbath.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:22 @And I gave the Levites orders to make themselves clean and come and keep the doors and make the Sabbath holy. Keep this in mind to my credit, O my God, and have mercy on me, for great is your mercy.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:23 @And in those days I saw the Jews who were married to women of Ashdod and Ammon and Moab:

bbe@Nehemiah:13:25 @And I took up the cause against them, cursing them and giving blows to some of them and pulling out their hair; and I made them take an oath by God, saying, You are not to give your daughters to their sons or take their daughters for your sons or for yourselves.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:26 @Was it not in these things that Solomon, king of Israel, did wrong? among a number of nations there was no king like him, and he was dear to his God, and God made him king over all Israel: but even he was made to do evil by strange women.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:27 @Are we then without protest to let you do all this great evil, sinning against our God by taking strange women for your wives?

bbe@Nehemiah:13:28 @And one of the sons of Joiada, the son of Eliashib, the chief priest, was son-in-law to Sanballat the Horonite: so I sent him away from me.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:29 @Keep them in mind, O my God, because they have put shame on the priests' name and on the agreement of the priests and the Levites.

bbe@Nehemiah:13:31 @And for the wood offering, at fixed times, and for the first fruits. Keep me in mind, O my God, for good.

bbe@Esther:1:1 @Now it came about in the days of Ahasuerus, (that Ahasuerus who was ruler of a hundred and twenty-seven divisions of the kingdom, from India as far as Ethiopia:)

bbe@Esther:1:3 @In the third year of his rule he gave a feast to all his captains and his servants; and the captains of the army of Persia and Media, the great men and the rulers of the divisions of his kingdom, were present before him;

bbe@Esther:1:4 @And for a long time, even a hundred and eighty days, he let them see all the wealth and the glory of his kingdom and the great power and honour which were his.

bbe@Esther:1:5 @And at the end of that time, the king gave a feast for all the people who were present in Shushan, the king's town, small as well as great, for seven days, in the outer square of the garden of the king's house.

bbe@Esther:1:9 @And Vashti the queen gave a feast for the women in the house of King Ahasuerus.

bbe@Esther:1:10 @On the seventh day, when the heart of the king was glad with wine, he gave orders to Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, and Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven unsexed servants who were waiting before Ahasuerus the king,

bbe@Esther:1:11 @That Vashti the queen was to come before him, crowned with her crown, and let the people and the captains see her: for she was very beautiful.

bbe@Esther:1:12 @But when the servants gave her the king's order, Vashti the queen said she would not come: then the king was very angry, and his heart was burning with wrath.

bbe@Esther:1:13 @And the king said to the wise men, who had knowledge of the times, (for this was the king's way with all who were expert in law and in the giving of decisions:

bbe@Esther:1:14 @And second only to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena, and Memucan, the seven rulers of Persia and Media, who were friends of the king, and had the first places in the kingdom:)

bbe@Esther:1:16 @And before the king and the captains, Memucan gave his answer: Vashti the queen has done wrong, not only to the king, but to all the captains and to all the peoples in all the divisions of the kingdom of King Ahasuerus;

bbe@Esther:1:17 @For news of what the queen has done will come to the ears of all women, and they will no longer give respect to their husbands when it is said to them, King Ahasuerus gave orders for Vashti the queen to come before him and she came not.

bbe@Esther:1:18 @And the wives of the captains of Persia and Media, hearing what the queen has done, will say the same to all the king's captains. So there will be much shame and wrath.

bbe@Esther:1:19 @If it is pleasing to the king, let an order go out from him, and let it be recorded among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, so that it may never be changed, that Vashti is never again to come before King Ahasuerus; and let the king give her place to another who is better than she.

bbe@Esther:1:21 @And this suggestion seemed good to the king and the captains; and the king did as Memucan said;

bbe@Esther:2:1 @After these things, when the king's feelings were calmer, the thought of Vashti and what she had done and the order he had made against her, came back to his mind.

bbe@Esther:2:2 @Then the servants who were waiting on the king said to him, Let search be made for some fair young virgins for the king:

bbe@Esther:2:3 @Let the king give authority to certain men in all the divisions of his kingdom, to get together all the fair young virgins and send them to Shushan, the king's town, to the women's house, under the care of Hegai, the king's servant, the keeper of the women: and let the things needed for making them clean be given to them;

bbe@Esther:2:5 @Now there was a certain Jew in Shushan named Mordecai, the son of Jair, the son of Shimei, the son of Kish, a Benjamite;

bbe@Esther:2:8 @So when the order made by the king was publicly given out, and a number of girls had been placed in the care of Hegai in the king's house in Shushan, Esther was taken into the king's house and put in the care of Hegai, the keeper of the women.

bbe@Esther:2:9 @And he was pleased with the girl and was kind to her; and he quickly gave her what was needed for making her clean, and the things which were hers by right, and seven servant-girls who were to be hers from the king's house: and he had her and her servant-girls moved to the best place in the women's part of the house.

bbe@Esther:2:10 @Esther had not said what family or people she came from, for Mordecai had given her orders not to do so.

bbe@Esther:2:11 @And every day Mordecai took his walk before the square of the women's house, to see how Esther was and what would be done to her.

bbe@Esther:2:12 @Now every girl, when her turn came, had to go in to King Ahasuerus, after undergoing, for a space of twelve months, what was ordered by the law for the women (for this was the time necessary for making them clean, that is, six months with oil of myrrh and six months with sweet perfumes and such things as are needed for making women clean):

bbe@Esther:2:13 @And in this way the girl went in to the king; whatever she had a desire for was given to her to take with her from the women's house into the house of the king.

bbe@Esther:2:14 @In the evening she went, and on the day after she came back to the second house of the women, into the keeping of Shaashgaz, one of the king's unsexed servants who had the care of the king's wives: only if the king had delight in her and sent for her by name did she go in to him again.

bbe@Esther:2:15 @Now when the time came for Esther, the daughter of Abihail, his father's brother, whom Mordecai had taken as his daughter, to go in to the king, she made request for nothing but what Hegai, the king's servant and keeper of the women, had given her. And Esther was looked on kindly by all who saw her.

bbe@Esther:2:17 @And Esther was more pleasing to the king than all the women, and to his eyes she was fairer and more full of grace than all the other virgins: so he put his crown on her head and made her queen in place of Vashti.

bbe@Esther:2:19 @And when the virgins came together in the second house of the women, Mordecai took his seat in the doorway of the king's house.

bbe@Esther:2:22 @And Mordecai, having knowledge of their purpose, sent word of it to Esther the queen; and Esther gave the news to the king in Mordecai's name.

bbe@Esther:3:1 @After these things, by the order of the king, Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, was lifted up and given a position of honour and a higher place than all the other captains who were with him.

bbe@Esther:3:7 @In the first month, the month Nisan, in the twelfth year of King Ahasuerus, from day to day and from month to month they went on looking for a sign given by Pur (that is chance) before Haman, till the sign came out for the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar.

bbe@Esther:3:9 @If it is the king's pleasure, let a statement ordering their destruction be put in writing: and I will give to those responsible for the king's business, ten thousand talents of silver for the king's store-house.

bbe@Esther:3:10 @And the king took his ring from his hand and gave it to Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the hater of the Jews

bbe@Esther:3:12 @Then on the thirteenth day of the first month, the king's scribes were sent for, and they put in writing Haman's orders to all the king's captains and the rulers of every division of his kingdom and the chiefs of every people: for every division of the kingdom in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in the language which was theirs; it was signed in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with the king's ring.

bbe@Esther:3:13 @And letters were sent by the runners into every division of the kingdom ordering the death and destruction of all Jews, young and old, little children and women, on the same day, even the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, the month Adar, and the taking of all their goods by force.

bbe@Esther:3:14 @A copy of the writing, to be made public in every part of the kingdom, was sent out to all the peoples, so that they might be ready when that day came.

bbe@Esther:3:15 @The runners went out quickly by the king's order, and a public statement was made in Shushan: and the king and Haman took wine together: but the town of Shushan was troubled.

bbe@Esther:4:2 @And he came even before the king's doorway; for no one might come inside the king's door clothed in haircloth.

bbe@Esther:4:3 @And in every part of the kingdom, wherever the king's word and his order came, there was great sorrow among the Jews, and weeping and crying and going without food; and numbers of them were stretched on the earth covered with dust and haircloth.

bbe@Esther:4:4 @And Esther's women and her servants came and gave her word of it. Then great was the grief of the queen: and she sent robes for Mordecai, so that his clothing of haircloth might be taken off; but he would not have them.

bbe@Esther:4:8 @And he gave him the copy of the order which had been given out in Shushan for their destruction, ordering him to let Esther see it, and to make it clear to her; and to say to her that she was to go in to the king, requesting his mercy, and making prayer for her people.

bbe@Esther:4:9 @And Hathach came back and gave Esther an account of what Mordecai had said.

bbe@Esther:4:11 @It is common knowledge among all the king's servants and the people of every part of the kingdom, that if anyone, man or woman, comes to the king in his inner room without being sent for, there is only one law for him, that he is to be put to death; only those to whom the king's rod of gold is stretched out may keep their lives: but I have not been sent for to come before the king these thirty days.

bbe@Esther:4:14 @If at this time you say nothing, then help and salvation will come to the Jews from some other place, but you and your father's family will come to destruction: and who is to say that you have not come to the kingdom even for such a time as this?

bbe@Esther:4:16 @Go, get together all the Jews who are present in Shushan, and go without food for me, taking no food or drink night or day for three days: and I and my women will do the same; and so I will go in to the king, which is against the law: and if death is to be my fate, then let it come.

bbe@Esther:5:2 @And when the king saw Esther the queen waiting in the inner room, looking kindly on her he put out the rod of gold in his hand to her. So Esther came near and put her fingers on the top of the rod.

bbe@Esther:5:4 @And Esther in answer said, If it seems good to the king, let the king and Haman come today to the feast which I have made ready for him.

bbe@Esther:5:5 @Then the king said, Let Haman come quickly, so that what Esther has said may be done. So the king and Haman came to the feast which Esther had made ready.

bbe@Esther:5:8 @If I have the king's approval, and if it is the king's pleasure to give me my prayer and do my request, let the king and Haman come to the feast which I will make ready for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said.

bbe@Esther:5:12 @And Haman said further, Truly, Esther the queen let no man but myself come in to the feast which she had made ready for the king; and tomorrow again I am to be her guest with the king

bbe@Esther:5:13 @But all this is nothing to me while I see Mordecai the Jew seated by the king's doorway.

bbe@Esther:6:1 @That night the king was unable to get any sleep; and he sent for the books of the records; and while some one was reading them to the king,

bbe@Esther:6:2 @It came out that it was recorded in the book how Mordecai had given word of the designs of Bigthana and Teresh, two of the king's servants, keepers of the door, by whom an attack on the king had been designed.

bbe@Esther:6:4 @Then the king said, Who is in the outer room? Now Haman had come into the outer room to get the king's authority for the hanging of Mordecai on the pillar which he had made ready for him.

bbe@Esther:6:5 @And the king's servants said to him, See, Haman is waiting in the outer room. And the king said, Let him come in.

bbe@Esther:6:6 @So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What is to be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring? Then the thought came into Haman's mind, Whom, more than myself, would the king have pleasure in honouring?

bbe@Esther:6:9 @And let the robes and the horse be given to one of the king's most noble captains, so that they may put them on the man whom the king has delight in honouring, and let him go on horseback through the streets of the town, with men crying out before him, So let it be done to the man whom the king has delight in honouring.

bbe@Esther:6:12 @And Mordecai came back to the king's doorway. But Haman went quickly back to his house, sad and with his head covered.

bbe@Esther:6:13 @And Haman gave his wife Zeresh and all his friends an account of what had taken place. Then his wise men and his wife Zeresh said to him, If Mordecai, who is starting to get the better of you, is of the seed of the Jews, you will not be able to do anything against him, but you will certainly go down before him.

bbe@Esther:6:14 @While they were still talking, the king's servants came to take Haman to the feast which Esther had made ready

bbe@Esther:7:1 @So the king and Haman came to take wine with Esther the queen.

bbe@Esther:7:3 @Then Esther the queen, answering, said, If I have your approval, O king, and if it is the king's pleasure, let my life be given to me in answer to my prayer, and my people at my request:

bbe@Esther:7:4 @For we are given up, I and my people, to destruction and death and to be cut off. If we had been taken as men-servants and women-servants for a price, I would have said nothing, for our trouble is little in comparison with the king's loss.

bbe@Esther:7:8 @Then the king came back from the garden into the room where they had been drinking; and Haman was stretched out on the seat where Esther was. Then the king said, Is he taking the queen by force before my eyes in my house? And while the words were on the king's lips, they put a cloth over Haman's face.

bbe@Esther:7:10 @So Haman was put to death by hanging him on the pillar he had made for Mordecai. Then the king's wrath became less.

bbe@Esther:8:1 @That day the king gave all the family of Haman, the hater of the Jews, to Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king, for Esther had made clear what he was to her.

bbe@Esther:8:3 @Then Esther again came before the king, falling down at his feet, and made request to him with weeping, that he would put a stop to the evil purposes of Haman the Agagite and the designs which he had made against the Jews.

bbe@Esther:8:5 @And she said, If it is the king's pleasure and if I have his approval and this thing seems right to the king and I am pleasing to him, then let letters be sent giving orders against those which Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, sent out for the destruction of the Jews in all divisions of the kingdom:

bbe@Esther:8:6 @For how is it possible for me to see the evil which is to overtake my nation? how may I see the destruction of my people?

bbe@Esther:8:7 @Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, See now, I have given Esther the family of Haman, and he has come to his death by hanging, because he made an attack on the Jews.

bbe@Esther:8:8 @So now send a letter about the Jews, writing whatever seems good to you, in the king's name, and stamping it with the king's ring: for a writing signed in the king's name and stamped with the king's ring may not be changed.

bbe@Esther:8:9 @Then at that time, on the twenty-third day of the third month, which is the month Sivan, the king's scribes were sent for; and everything ordered by Mordecai was put in writing and sent to the Jews and the captains and the rulers and the chiefs of all the divisions of the kingdom from India to Ethiopia, a hundred and twenty-seven divisions, to every division in the writing commonly used there, and to every people in their language, and to the Jews in their writing and their language.

bbe@Esther:8:10 @The letters were sent in the name of King Ahasuerus and stamped with his ring, and they were taken by men on horseback, going on the quick-running horses used for the king's business, the offspring of his best horses:

bbe@Esther:8:11 @In these letters the king gave authority to the Jews in every town to come together and make a fight for their lives, and to send death and destruction on the power of any people in any part of the kingdom attacking them or their children or their women, and to take their goods from them by force,

bbe@Esther:8:13 @A copy of the writing, to be made public as an order in every division of the kingdom, was given out to all the peoples, so that the Jews might be ready when that day came to give punishment to their haters.

bbe@Esther:8:14 @So the men went out on the quick-running horses used on the king's business, wasting no time and forced on by the king's order; and the order was given out in Shushan, the king's town.

bbe@Esther:8:17 @And in every part of the kingdom and in every town, wherever the king's letter and his order came, the Jews were glad with great joy, and had a feast and a good day. And a great number of the people of the land became Jews: for the fear of the Jews had come on them.

bbe@Esther:9:1 @Now on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, when the time came for the king's order to be put into effect, on the very day when the haters of the Jews had been hoping to have rule over them; though the opposite had come about, and the Jews had rule over their haters;

bbe@Esther:9:2 @On that day, the Jews came together in their towns through all the divisions of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, for the purpose of attacking all those who were attempting evil against them: and everyone had to give way before them, for the fear of them had come on all the peoples.

bbe@Esther:9:3 @And all the chiefs and the captains and the rulers and those who did the king's business gave support to the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai had come on them.

bbe@Esther:9:4 @For Mordecai was great in the king's house, and word of him went out through every part of the kingdom: for the man Mordecai became greater and greater.

bbe@Esther:9:5 @So the Jews overcame all their attackers with the sword and with death and destruction, and did to their haters whatever they had a desire to do.

bbe@Esther:9:6 @And in Shushan the Jews put to death five hundred men.

bbe@Esther:9:10 @The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the hater of the Jews; but they put not a hand on any of their goods.

bbe@Esther:9:12 @And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have put five hundred men to death in Shushan, as well as the ten sons of Haman: what then have they done in the rest of the kingdom! Now what is your prayer? for it will be given to you; what other request have you? and it will be done.

bbe@Esther:9:15 @For the Jews who were in Shushan came together again on the fourteenth day of the month Adar and put to death three hundred men in Shushan; but they put not a hand on their goods.

bbe@Esther:9:16 @And the other Jews in every division of the kingdom came together, fighting for their lives, and got salvation from their haters and put seventy-five thousand of them to death; but they did not put a hand on their goods.

bbe@Esther:9:17 @This they did on the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same month they took their rest, and made it a day of feasting and joy.

bbe@Esther:9:18 @But the Jews in Shushan came together on the thirteenth and on the fourteenth day of the month; and on the fifteenth day they took their rest, and made it a day of feasting and joy.

bbe@Esther:9:21 @Ordering them to keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar and the fifteenth day of the same month, every year,

bbe@Esther:9:24 @Because Haman, the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the hater of all the Jews, had made designs for their destruction, attempting to get a decision by Pur (that is, chance) with a view to putting an end to them and cutting them off;

bbe@Esther:9:26 @So these days were named Purim, after the name of Pur. And so, because of the words of this letter, and of what they had seen in connection with this business, and what had come to them,

bbe@Esther:9:27 @The Jews made a rule and gave an undertaking, causing their seed and all those who were joined to them to do the same, so that it might be in force for ever, that they would keep those two days, as ordered in the letter, at the fixed time every year;

bbe@Esther:9:28 @And that those days were to be kept in memory through every generation and every family, in every division of the kingdom and every town, that there might never be a time when these days of Purim would not be kept among the Jews, or when the memory of them would go from the minds of their seed.

bbe@Esther:9:31 @Giving the force of law to these days of Purim at their fixed times, as they had been ordered by Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen, and in keeping with the rules they had made for themselves and their seed, in connection with their time of going without food and their cry for help.

bbe@Esther:10:2 @And all his acts of power and his great strength and the full story of the high place which the king gave Mordecai, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Media and Persia?

bbe@Esther:10:3 @For Mordecai the Jew was second only to King Ahasuerus, and great among the Jews and respected by the body of his countrymen; working for the good of his people, and saying words of peace to all his seed.

bbe@Job:1:1 @There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. He was without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil.

bbe@Job:1:3 @And of cattle he had seven thousand sheep and goats, and three thousand camels, and a thousand oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great number of servants. And the man was greater than any of the sons of the east.

bbe@Job:1:4 @His sons regularly went to one another's houses, and every one on his day gave a feast: and at these times they sent for their three sisters to take part in their feasts with them.

bbe@Job:1:5 @And at the end of their days of feasting, Job sent and made them clean, getting up early in the morning and offering burned offerings for them all. For, Job said, It may be that my sons have done wrong and said evil of God in their hearts. And Job did this whenever the feasts came round.

bbe@Job:1:6 @And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.

bbe@Job:1:7 @And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.

bbe@Job:1:14 @And a man came to Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses were taking their food by their side:

bbe@Job:1:15 @And the men of Sheba came against them and took them away, putting the young men to the sword, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.

bbe@Job:1:16 @And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The fire of God came down from heaven, burning up the sheep and the goats and the young men completely, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.

bbe@Job:1:17 @And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The Chaldaeans made themselves into three bands, and came down on the camels and took them away, putting the young men to the sword, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.

bbe@Job:1:18 @And this one was still talking when another came, and said, Your sons and your daughters were feasting together in their oldest brother's house,

bbe@Job:1:19 @When a great wind came rushing from the waste land against the four sides of the house, and it came down on the young men, and they are dead; and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.

bbe@Job:1:21 @With nothing I came out of my mother's body, and with nothing I will go back there; the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; let the Lord's name be praised.

bbe@Job:2:1 @And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.

bbe@Job:2:2 @And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.

bbe@Job:2:3 @And the Lord said to the Satan, Have you taken note of my servant Job, for there is no one like him on the earth, a man without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil? and he still keeps his righteousness, though you have been moving me to send destruction on him without cause.

bbe@Job:2:10 @And he said to her, You are talking like one of the foolish women. If we take the good God sends us, are we not to take the evil when it comes? In all this Job kept his lips from sin.

bbe@Job:2:11 @And Job's three friends had word of all this evil which had come on him. And they came every one from his place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. So they came together to a meeting-place, in order that they might go and make clear to Job their grief for him, and give him comfort.

bbe@Job:3:3 @Let destruction take the day of my birth, and the night on which it was said, A man child has come into the world.

bbe@Job:3:6 @That night--let the thick dark take it; let it not have joy among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months.

bbe@Job:3:11 @Why did death not take me when I came out of my mother's body, why did I not, when I came out, give up my last breath?

bbe@Job:3:12 @Why did the knees take me, or why the breasts that they might give me milk?

bbe@Job:3:16 @Or as a child dead at birth I might never have come into existence; like young children who have not seen the light.

bbe@Job:3:17 @There the passions of the evil are over, and those whose strength has come to an end have rest.

bbe@Job:3:18 @There the prisoners are at peace together; the voice of the overseer comes not again to their ears.

bbe@Job:3:21 @To those whose desire is for death, but it comes not; who are searching for it more than for secret wealth;

bbe@Job:3:22 @Who are glad with great joy, and full of delight when they come to their last resting-place;

bbe@Job:3:24 @In place of my food I have grief, and cries of sorrow come from me like water.

bbe@Job:3:25 @For I have a fear and it comes on me, and my heart is greatly troubled.

bbe@Job:3:26 @I have no peace, no quiet, and no rest; nothing but pain comes on me.

bbe@Job:4:5 @But now it has come on you and it is a weariness to you; you are touched by it and your mind is troubled.

bbe@Job:4:7 @Have you ever seen destruction come to an upright man? or when were the god-fearing ever cut off?

bbe@Job:4:8 @What I have seen is that those by whom trouble has been ploughed, and evil planted, get the same for themselves.

bbe@Job:4:11 @The old lion comes to his end for need of food, and the young of the she-lion go wandering in all directions.

bbe@Job:4:12 @A word was given to me secretly, and the low sound of it came to my ears.

bbe@Job:4:13 @In troubled thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep comes on men,

bbe@Job:4:14 @Fear came on me and shaking, and my bones were full of trouble;

bbe@Job:4:15 @And a breath was moving over my face; the hair of my flesh became stiff:

bbe@Job:4:16 @Something was present before me, but I was not able to see it clearly; there was a form before my eyes: a quiet voice came to my ears, saying:

bbe@Job:4:20 @Between morning and evening they are completely broken; they come to an end for ever, and no one takes note.

bbe@Job:4:21 @If their tent-cord is pulled up, do they not come to an end, and without wisdom?

bbe@Job:5:2 @For wrath is the cause of death to the foolish, and he who has no wisdom comes to his end through passion.

bbe@Job:5:3 @I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly the curse came on his house.

bbe@Job:5:6 @For evil does not come out of the dust, or trouble out of the earth;

bbe@Job:5:7 @But trouble is man's fate from birth, as the flames go up from the fire.

bbe@Job:5:8 @But as for me, I would make my prayer to God, and I would put my cause before him:

bbe@Job:5:14 @In the daytime it becomes dark for them, and in the sunlight they go feeling about as if it was night.

bbe@Job:5:18 @For after his punishment he gives comfort, and after wounding, his hands make you well.

bbe@Job:5:19 @He will keep you safe from six troubles, and in seven no evil will come near you.

bbe@Job:5:21 @He will keep you safe from the evil tongue; and you will have no fear of wasting when it comes.

bbe@Job:5:23 @For you will be in agreement with the stones of the earth, and the beasts of the field will be at peace with you.

bbe@Job:5:26 @You will come to your last resting-place in full strength, as the grain is taken up to the crushing-floor in its time.

bbe@Job:5:27 @See, we have made search with care, and it is so; it has come to our ears; see that you take note of it for yourself.

bbe@Job:6:2 @If only my passion might be measured, and put into the scales against my trouble!

bbe@Job:6:4 @For the arrows of the Ruler of all are present with me, and their poison goes deep into my spirit: his army of fears is put in order against me.

bbe@Job:6:8 @If only I might have an answer to my prayer, and God would give me my desire!

bbe@Job:6:9 @If only he would be pleased to put an end to me; and would let loose his hand, so that I might be cut off!

bbe@Job:6:13 @I have no help in myself, and wisdom is completely gone from me.

bbe@Job:6:15 @My friends have been false like a stream, like streams in the valleys which come to an end:

bbe@Job:6:17 @Under the burning sun they are cut off, and come to nothing because of the heat.

bbe@Job:6:18 @The camel-trains go out of their way; they go up into the waste and come to destruction.

bbe@Job:6:19 @The camel-trains of Tema were searching with care, the bands of Sheba were waiting for them:

bbe@Job:6:20 @They were put to shame because of their hope; they came and their hope was gone.

bbe@Job:6:21 @So have you now become to me; you see my sad condition and are in fear.

bbe@Job:6:22 @Did I say, Give me something? or, Make a payment for me out of your wealth?

bbe@Job:6:23 @Or, Get me out of the power of my hater? or, Give money so that I may be free from the power of the cruel ones?

bbe@Job:6:24 @Give me teaching and I will be quiet; and make me see my error.

bbe@Job:6:25 @How pleasing are upright words! but what force is there in your arguments?

bbe@Job:6:28 @Now then, let your eyes be turned to me, for truly I will not say what is false to your face.

bbe@Job:6:29 @Let your minds be changed, and do not have an evil opinion of me; yes, be changed, for my righteousness is still in me.

bbe@Job:6:30 @Is there evil in my tongue? is not the cause of my trouble clear to me?

bbe@Job:7:1 @Has not man his ordered time of trouble on the earth? and are not his days like the days of a servant working for payment?

bbe@Job:7:2 @As a servant desiring the shades of evening, and a workman looking for his payment:

bbe@Job:7:3 @So I have for my heritage months of pain to no purpose, and nights of weariness are given to me.

bbe@Job:7:4 @When I go to my bed, I say, When will it be time to get up? but the night is long, and I am turning from side to side till morning light.

bbe@Job:7:6 @My days go quicker than the cloth-worker's thread, and come to an end without hope.

bbe@Job:7:8 @The eye of him who sees me will see me no longer: your eyes will be looking for me, but I will be gone.

bbe@Job:7:9 @A cloud comes to an end and is gone; so he who goes down into the underworld comes not up again.

bbe@Job:7:10 @He will not come back to his house, and his place will have no more knowledge of him.

bbe@Job:7:11 @So I will not keep my mouth shut; I will let the words come from it in the pain of my spirit, my soul will make a bitter outcry.

bbe@Job:7:12 @Am I a sea, or a sea-beast, that you put a watch over me?

bbe@Job:7:14 @Then you send dreams to me, and visions of fear;

bbe@Job:7:16 @I have no desire for life, I would not be living for ever! Keep away from me, for my days are as a breath

bbe@Job:7:19 @How long will it be before your eyes are turned away from me, so that I may have a minute's breathing-space?

bbe@Job:7:20 @If I have done wrong, what have I done to you, O keeper of men? why have you made me a mark for your blows, so that I am a weariness to myself?

bbe@Job:7:21 @And why do you not take away my sin, and let my wrongdoing be ended? for now I go down to the dust, and you will be searching for me with care, but I will be gone.

bbe@Job:8:4 @If your children have done evil against him, then their punishment is from his hand.

bbe@Job:8:11 @Will the river-plant come up in its pride without wet earth? will the grass get tall without water?

bbe@Job:8:12 @When it is still green, without being cut down, it becomes dry and dead before any other plant.

bbe@Job:8:13 @So is the end of all who do not keep God in mind; and the hope of the evil-doer comes to nothing:

bbe@Job:8:15 @He is looking to his family for support, but it is not there; he puts his hope in it, but it comes to nothing.

bbe@Job:8:19 @Such is the joy of his way, and out of the dust another comes up to take his place.

bbe@Job:8:21 @The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

bbe@Job:8:22 @Your haters will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the sinner will not be seen again.

bbe@Job:9:4 @He is wise in heart and great in strength: who ever made his face hard against him, and any good came of it?

bbe@Job:9:11 @See, he goes past me and I see him not: he goes on before, but I have no knowledge of him.

bbe@Job:9:14 @How much less may I give an answer to him, using the right words in argument with him?

bbe@Job:9:15 @Even if my cause was good, I would not be able to give an answer; I would make request for grace from him who was against me.

bbe@Job:9:16 @If I had sent for him to be present, and he had come, I would have no faith that he would give ear to my voice.

bbe@Job:9:18 @He would not let me take my breath, but I would be full of bitter grief.

bbe@Job:9:19 @If it is a question of strength, he says, Here I am! and if it is a question of a cause at law, he says, Who will give me a fixed day?

bbe@Job:9:21 @I have done no wrong; I give no thought to what becomes of me; I have no desire for life.

bbe@Job:9:22 @It is all the same to me; so I say, He puts an end to the sinner and to him who has done no wrong together.

bbe@Job:9:23 @If death comes suddenly through disease, he makes sport of the fate of those who have done no wrong.

bbe@Job:9:29 @You will not let me be clear of sin! why then do I take trouble for nothing?

bbe@Job:9:31 @Then you will have me pushed into the dust, so that I will seem disgusting to my very clothing.

bbe@Job:9:32 @For he is not a man as I am, that I might give him an answer, that we might come together before a judge.

bbe@Job:9:34 @Let him take away his rod from me and not send his fear on me:

bbe@Job:10:2 @I will say to God, Do not put me down as a sinner; make clear to me what you have against me.

bbe@Job:10:8 @Your hands made me, and I was formed by you, but then, changing your purpose, you gave me up to destruction.

bbe@Job:10:9 @O keep in mind that you made me out of earth; and will you send me back again to dust?

bbe@Job:10:12 @You have been kind to me, and your grace has been with me, and your care has kept my spirit safe.

bbe@Job:10:14 @That, if I did wrong, you would take note of it, and would not make me clear from sin:

bbe@Job:10:15 @That, if I was an evil-doer, the curse would come on me; and if I was upright, my head would not be lifted up, being full of shame and overcome with trouble.

bbe@Job:10:16 @And that if there was cause for pride, you would go after me like a lion; and again put out your wonders against me:

bbe@Job:10:17 @That you would send new witnesses against me, increasing your wrath against me, and letting loose new armies on me.

bbe@Job:10:18 @Why then did you make me come out of my mother's body? It would have been better for me to have taken my last breath, and for no eye to have seen me,

bbe@Job:10:19 @And for me to have been as if I had not been; to have been taken from my mother's body straight to my last resting-place.

bbe@Job:10:20 @Are not the days of my life small in number? Let your eyes be turned away from me, so that I may have a little pleasure,

bbe@Job:10:21 @Before I go to the place from which I will not come back, to the land where all is dark and black,

bbe@Job:11:3 @Are your words of pride to make men keep quiet? and are you to make sport, with no one to put you to shame?

bbe@Job:11:5 @But if only God would take up the word, opening his lips in argument with you;

bbe@Job:11:7 @Are you able to take God's measure, to make discovery of the limits of the Ruler of all?

bbe@Job:11:9 @Longer in measure than the earth, and wider than the sea.

bbe@Job:11:11 @For in his eyes men are as nothing; he sees evil and takes note of it

bbe@Job:11:16 @For your sorrow will go from your memory, like waters flowing away:

bbe@Job:11:17 @And your life will be brighter than day; though it is dark, it will become like the morning.

bbe@Job:11:19 @Sleeping with no fear of danger; and men will be desiring to have grace in your eyes;

bbe@Job:12:2 @No doubt you have knowledge, and wisdom will come to an end with you.

bbe@Job:12:12 @Old men have wisdom, and a long life gives knowledge.

bbe@Job:12:21 @He puts shame on chiefs, and takes away the power of the strong;

bbe@Job:12:25 @They go feeling about in the dark without light, wandering without help like those overcome with wine.

bbe@Job:13:1 @Truly, my eye has seen all this, word of it has come to my ear, and I have knowledge of it.

bbe@Job:13:2 @The same things are in my mind as in yours; I am equal to you.

bbe@Job:13:3 @But I would have talk with the Ruler of all, and my desire is to have an argument with God.

bbe@Job:13:6 @Give ear to the argument of my mouth, and take note of the words of my lips.

bbe@Job:13:7 @Will you say in God's name what is not right, and put false words into his mouth?

bbe@Job:13:11 @Will not his glory put you in fear, so that your hearts will be overcome before him?

bbe@Job:13:13 @Keep quiet, and let me say what is in my mind, whatever may come to me.

bbe@Job:13:15 @Truly, he will put an end to me; I have no hope; but I will not give way in argument before him;

bbe@Job:13:16 @And that will be my salvation, for an evil-doer would not come before him,

bbe@Job:13:19 @Is any one able to take up the argument against me? If so, I would keep quiet and give up my breath.

bbe@Job:13:20 @Only two things do not do to me, then I will come before your face:

bbe@Job:13:21 @Take your hand far away from me; and let me not be overcome by fear of you.

bbe@Job:13:22 @Then at the sound of your voice I will give answer; or let me put forward my cause for you to give me an answer.

bbe@Job:13:23 @What is the number of my evil-doings and my sins? give me knowledge of them.

bbe@Job:13:24 @Why is your face veiled from me, as if I was numbered among your haters?

bbe@Job:13:26 @For you put bitter things on record against me, and send punishment on me for the sins of my early years;

bbe@Job:13:28 @Though a man comes to nothing like a bit of dead wood, or like a robe which has become food for the worm.

bbe@Job:14:2 @He comes out like a flower, and is cut down: he goes in flight like a shade, and is never seen again.

bbe@Job:14:4 @If only a clean thing might come out of an unclean! But it is not possible.

bbe@Job:14:6 @Let your eyes be turned away from him, and take your hand from him, so that he may have pleasure at the end of his day, like a servant working for payment.

bbe@Job:14:7 @For there is hope of a tree; if it is cut down, it will come to life again, and its branches will not come to an end.

bbe@Job:14:9 @Still, at the smell of water, it will make buds, and put out branches like a young plant.

bbe@Job:14:10 @But man comes to his death and is gone: he gives up his spirit, and where is he?

bbe@Job:14:11 @The waters go from a pool, and a river becomes waste and dry;

bbe@Job:14:12 @So man goes down to his last resting-place and comes not again: till the heavens come to an end, they will not be awake or come out of their sleep.

bbe@Job:14:13 @If only you would keep me safe in the underworld, putting me in a secret place till your wrath is past, giving me a fixed time when I might come to your memory again!

bbe@Job:14:14 @If death takes a man, will he come to life again? All the days of my trouble I would be waiting, till the time came for me to be free.

bbe@Job:14:18 @But truly a mountain falling comes to dust, and a rock is moved from its place;

bbe@Job:14:20 @You overcome him for ever, and he is gone; his face is changed in death, and you send him away.

bbe@Job:14:21 @His sons come to honour, and he has no knowledge of it; they are made low, but he is not conscious of it.

bbe@Job:15:3 @Will he make arguments with words in which is no profit, and with sayings which have no value?

bbe@Job:15:4 @Truly, you make the fear of God without effect, so that the time of quiet worship before God is made less by your outcry.

bbe@Job:15:6 @It is by your mouth, even yours, that you are judged to be in the wrong, and not by me; and your lips give witness against you.

bbe@Job:15:7 @Were you the first man to come into the world? or did you come into being before the hills?

bbe@Job:15:8 @Were you present at the secret meeting of God? and have you taken all wisdom for yourself?

bbe@Job:15:10 @With us are men who are grey-haired and full of years, much older than your father.

bbe@Job:15:18 @(The things which wise men have got from their fathers, and have not kept secret from us;

bbe@Job:15:21 @A sound of fear is in his ears; in time of peace destruction will come on him:

bbe@Job:15:24 @He is greatly in fear of the dark day, trouble and pain overcome him:

bbe@Job:15:27 @Because his face is covered with fat, and his body has become thick;

bbe@Job:15:28 @And he has made his resting-place in the towns which have been pulled down, in houses where no man had a right to be, whose fate was to become masses of broken walls.

bbe@Job:15:30 @He does not come out of the dark; his branches are burned by the flame, and the wind takes away his bud.

bbe@Job:15:32 @His branch is cut off before its time, and his leaf is no longer green.

bbe@Job:15:33 @He is like a vine whose grapes do not come to full growth, or an olive-tree dropping its flowers.

bbe@Job:15:35 @Evil has made them with child, and they give birth to trouble; and the fruit of their body is shame for themselves.

bbe@Job:16:2 @Such things have frequently come to my ears: you are comforters who only give trouble.

bbe@Job:16:4 @It would not be hard for me to say such things if your souls were in my soul's place; joining words together against you, and shaking my head at you:

bbe@Job:16:6 @If I say what is in my mind, my pain becomes no less: and if I keep quiet, how much of it goes from me?

bbe@Job:16:7 @But now he has overcome me with weariness and fear, and I am in the grip of all my trouble.

bbe@Job:16:8 @It has come up as a witness against me, and the wasting of my flesh makes answer to my face.

bbe@Job:16:9 @I am broken by his wrath, and his hate has gone after me; he has made his teeth sharp against me: my haters are looking on me with cruel eyes;

bbe@Job:16:10 @Their mouths are open wide against me; the blows of his bitter words are falling on my face; all of them come together in a mass against me.

bbe@Job:16:11 @God gives me over to the power of sinners, sending me violently into the hands of evil-doers.

bbe@Job:16:12 @I was in comfort, but I have been broken up by his hands; he has taken me by the neck, shaking me to bits; he has put me up as a mark for his arrows.

bbe@Job:16:13 @His bowmen come round about me; their arrows go through my body without mercy; my life is drained out on the earth.

bbe@Job:16:14 @I am broken with wound after wound; he comes rushing on me like a man of war.

bbe@Job:16:20 @My friends make sport of me; to God my eyes are weeping,

bbe@Job:16:22 @For in a short time I will take the journey from which I will not come back.

bbe@Job:17:1 @My spirit is broken, my days are ended, the last resting-place is ready for me.

bbe@Job:17:2 @Truly, those who make sport of me are round about me, and my eyes become dark because of their bitter laughing.

bbe@Job:17:3 @Be pleased, now, to be responsible for me to yourself; for there is no other who will put his hand in mine.

bbe@Job:17:6 @He has made me a word of shame to the peoples; I have become a mark for their sport.

bbe@Job:17:7 @My eyes have become dark because of my pain, and all my body is wasted to a shade.

bbe@Job:17:10 @But come back, now, all of you, come; and I will not see a wise man among you.

bbe@Job:17:16 @Will they go down with me into the underworld? Will we go down together into the dust?

bbe@Job:18:4 @But come back, now, come: you who are wounding yourself in your passion, will the earth be given up because of you, or a rock be moved out of its place?

bbe@Job:18:5 @For the light of the sinner is put out, and the flame of his fire is not shining.

bbe@Job:18:7 @The steps of his strength become short, and by his design destruction overtakes him.

bbe@Job:18:9 @His foot is taken in the net; he comes into its grip.

bbe@Job:18:11 @He is overcome by fears on every side, they go after him at every step.

bbe@Job:18:17 @His memory is gone from the earth, and in the open country there is no knowledge of his name.

bbe@Job:18:19 @He has no offspring or family among his people, and in his living-place there is no one of his name.

bbe@Job:18:20 @At his fate those of the west are shocked, and those of the east are overcome with fear.

bbe@Job:19:2 @How long will you make my life bitter, crushing me with words?

bbe@Job:19:3 @Ten times now you have made sport of me; it gives you no sense of shame to do me wrong.

bbe@Job:19:5 @If you make yourselves great against me, using my punishment as an argument against me,

bbe@Job:19:6 @Be certain that it is God who has done me wrong, and has taken me in his net.

bbe@Job:19:9 @He has put off my glory from me, and taken the crown from my head.

bbe@Job:19:11 @His wrath is burning against me, and I am to him as one of his haters.

bbe@Job:19:12 @His armies come on together, they make their road high against me, and put up their tents round mine.

bbe@Job:19:13 @He has taken my brothers far away from me; they have seen my fate and have become strange to me.

bbe@Job:19:14 @My relations and my near friends have given me up, and those living in my house have put me out of their minds.

bbe@Job:19:15 @I am strange to my women-servants, and seem to them as one from another country.

bbe@Job:19:16 @At my cry my servant gives me no answer, and I have to make a prayer to him.

bbe@Job:19:18 @Even young children have no respect for me; when I get up their backs are turned on me.

bbe@Job:19:19 @All the men of my circle keep away from me; and those dear to me are turned against me.

bbe@Job:19:21 @Have pity on me, have pity on me, O my friends! for the hand of God is on me.

bbe@Job:19:22 @Why are you cruel to me, like God, for ever saying evil against me?

bbe@Job:19:25 @But I am certain that he who will take up my cause is living, and that in time to come he will take his place on the dust;

bbe@Job:19:27 @Whom I will see on my side, and not as one strange to me. My heart is broken with desire.

bbe@Job:19:29 @Be in fear of the sword, for the sword is the punishment for such things, so that you may be certain that there is a judge.

bbe@Job:20:2 @For this cause my thoughts are troubling me and driving me on.

bbe@Job:20:3 @I have to give ear to arguments which put me to shame, and your answers to me are wind without wisdom.

bbe@Job:20:4 @Have you knowledge of this from early times, when man was placed on the earth,

bbe@Job:20:7 @Like the waste from his body he comes to an end for ever: those who have seen him say, Where is he?

bbe@Job:20:14 @His food becomes bitter in his stomach; the poison of snakes is inside him.

bbe@Job:20:21 @He had never enough for his desire; for this cause his well-being will quickly come to an end.

bbe@Job:20:23 @God gives him his desire, and sends the heat of his wrath on him, making it come down on him like rain.

bbe@Job:20:25 @He is pulling it out, and it comes out of his back; and its shining point comes out of his side; he is overcome by fears.

bbe@Job:21:3 @Let me say what is in my mind, and after that, go on making sport of me.

bbe@Job:21:4 @As for me, is my outcry against man? is it then to be wondered at if my spirit is troubled?

bbe@Job:21:5 @Take note of me and be full of wonder, put your hand on your mouth.

bbe@Job:21:7 @Why is life given to the evil-doers? why do they become old and strong in power?

bbe@Job:21:9 @Their houses are free from fear, and the rod of God does not come on them.

bbe@Job:21:10 @Their ox is ready at all times to give seed; their cow gives birth, without dropping her young.

bbe@Job:21:12 @They make songs to the instruments of music, and are glad at the sound of the pipe.

bbe@Job:21:13 @Their days come to an end without trouble, and suddenly they go down to the underworld.

bbe@Job:21:16 @Truly, is not their well-being in their power? (The purpose of the evil-doers is far from me.)

bbe@Job:21:17 @How frequently is the light of the evil-doers put out, or does trouble come on them? how frequently does his wrath take them with cords?

bbe@Job:21:19 @You say, God keeps punishment stored up for his children. Let him send it on the man himself, so that he may have the punishment of it!

bbe@Job:21:23 @One comes to his end in complete well-being, full of peace and quiet:

bbe@Job:21:25 @And another comes to his end with a bitter soul, without ever tasting good.

bbe@Job:21:27 @See, I am conscious of your thoughts, and of your violent purposes against me;

bbe@Job:21:31 @Who will make his way clear to his face? and if he has done a thing, who gives him punishment for it?

bbe@Job:21:33 @The earth of the valley covering his bones is sweet to him, and all men come after him, as there were unnumbered before him.

bbe@Job:21:34 @Why then do you give me comfort with words in which there is no profit, when you see that there is nothing in your answers but deceit?

bbe@Job:22:4 @Is it because you give him honour that he is sending punishment on you and is judging you?

bbe@Job:22:8 @For it was the man with power who had the land, and the man with an honoured name who was living in it.

bbe@Job:22:10 @For this cause nets are round your feet, and you are overcome with sudden fear.

bbe@Job:22:15 @Will you keep the old way by which evil men went?

bbe@Job:22:16 @Who were violently taken away before their time, who were overcome by the rush of waters:

bbe@Job:22:18 @Though he made their houses full of good things: but the purpose of the evil-doers is far from me!

bbe@Job:22:23 @If you come back to the Ruler of all, making yourself low before him; if you put evil far away from your tents;

bbe@Job:22:28 @Your purposes will come about, and light will be shining on your ways.

bbe@Job:23:3 @If only I had knowledge of where he might be seen, so that I might come even to his seat!

bbe@Job:23:4 @I would put my cause in order before him, and my mouth would be full of arguments.

bbe@Job:23:5 @I would see what his answers would be, and have knowledge of what he would say to me.

bbe@Job:23:6 @Would he make use of his great power to overcome me? No, but he would give attention to me.

bbe@Job:23:10 @For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like gold.

bbe@Job:23:14 @For what has been ordered for me by him will be gone through to the end: and his mind is full of such designs.

bbe@Job:23:15 @For this cause I am in fear before him, my thoughts of him overcome me.

bbe@Job:23:17 @For I am overcome by the dark, and by the black night which is covering my face.

bbe@Job:24:1 @Why are times not stored up by the Ruler of all, and why do those who have knowledge of him not see his days?

bbe@Job:24:2 @The landmarks are changed by evil men, they violently take away flocks, together with their keepers.

bbe@Job:24:12 @From the town come sounds of pain from those who are near death, and the soul of the wounded is crying out for help; but God does not take note of their prayer.

bbe@Job:24:15 @And the man whose desire is for the wife of another is waiting for the evening, saying, No eye will see me; and he puts a cover on his face. And in the night the thief goes about;

bbe@Job:24:16 @In the dark he makes holes in the walls of houses: in the daytime they are shutting themselves up, they have no knowledge of the light.

bbe@Job:24:19 @Snow waters become dry with the heat: so do sinners go down into the underworld.

bbe@Job:24:20 @The public place of his town has no more knowledge of him, and his name has gone from the memory of men: he is rooted up like a dead tree

bbe@Job:24:24 @For a short time they are lifted up; then they are gone; they are made low, they are pulled off like fruit, and like the heads of grain they are cut off.

bbe@Job:26:4 @To whom have your words been said? and whose spirit came out from you?

bbe@Job:26:11 @The pillars of heaven are shaking, and are overcome by his sharp words

bbe@Job:26:13 @By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.

bbe@Job:26:14 @See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.

bbe@Job:27:3 @(For all my breath is still in me, and the spirit of God is my life;)

bbe@Job:27:5 @Let it be far from me! I will certainly not say that you are right! I will come to death before I give up my righteousness.

bbe@Job:27:7 @Let my hater be like the evil man, and let him who comes against me be as the sinner.

bbe@Job:27:9 @Will his cry come to the ears of God when he is in trouble?

bbe@Job:27:10 @Will he take delight in the Ruler of all, and make his prayer to God at all times?

bbe@Job:27:12 @Truly, you have all seen it yourselves; why then have you become completely foolish?

bbe@Job:27:13 @This is the punishment of the evil-doer from God, and the heritage given to the cruel by the Ruler of all

bbe@Job:27:15 @When those of his house who are still living come to their end by disease, they are not put into the earth, and their widows are not weeping for them.

bbe@Job:27:19 @He goes to rest full of wealth, but does so for the last time: on opening his eyes, he sees it there no longer.

bbe@Job:27:22 @God sends his arrows against him without mercy; he goes in flight before his hand.

bbe@Job:27:23 @Men make signs of joy because of him, driving him from his place with sounds of hissing.

bbe@Job:28:4 @He makes a deep mine far away from those living in the light of day; when they go about on the earth, they have no knowledge of those who are under them, who are hanging far from men, twisting from side to side on a cord.

bbe@Job:28:5 @As for the earth, bread comes out of it; but under its face it is turned up as if by fire.

bbe@Job:28:11 @He keeps back the streams from flowing, and makes the secret things come out into the light.

bbe@Job:28:14 @The deep waters say, It is not in me: and the sea says, It is not with me.

bbe@Job:28:15 @Gold may not be given for it, or a weight of silver in payment for it

bbe@Job:28:20 @From where then does wisdom come, and where is the resting-place of knowledge?

bbe@Job:28:25 @When he made a weight for the wind, measuring out the waters;

bbe@Job:28:26 @When he made a law for the rain, and a way for the thunder-flames;

bbe@Job:29:2 @If only I might again be as I was in the months which are past, in the days when God was watching over me!

bbe@Job:29:5 @While the Ruler of all was still with me, and my children were round me;

bbe@Job:29:6 @When my steps were washed with milk, and rivers of oil were flowing out of the rock for me.

bbe@Job:29:8 @The young men saw me, and went away, and the old men got up from their seats;

bbe@Job:29:11 @For when it came to their ears, men said that I was truly happy; and when their eyes saw, they gave witness to me;

bbe@Job:29:13 @The blessing of him who was near to destruction came on me, and I put a song of joy into the widow's heart.

bbe@Job:29:14 @I put on righteousness as my clothing, and was full of it; right decisions were to me a robe and a head-dress.

bbe@Job:29:16 @I was a father to the poor, searching out the cause of him who was strange to me.

bbe@Job:29:17 @By me the great teeth of the evil-doer were broken, and I made him give up what he had violently taken away

bbe@Job:29:18 @Then I said, I will come to my end with my children round me, my days will be as the sand in number;

bbe@Job:29:21 @Men gave ear to me, waiting and keeping quiet for my suggestions.

bbe@Job:29:23 @They were waiting for me as for the rain, opening their mouths wide as for the spring rains.

bbe@Job:30:1 @But now those who are younger than I make sport of me; those whose fathers I would not have put with the dogs of my flocks.

bbe@Job:30:2 @Of what use is the strength of their hands to me? all force is gone from them.

bbe@Job:30:4 @They are pulling off the salt leaves from the brushwood, and making a meal of roots.

bbe@Job:30:5 @They are sent out from among their townsmen, men are crying after them as thieves

bbe@Job:30:8 @They are sons of shame, and of men without a name, who have been forced out of the land.

bbe@Job:30:9 @And now I have become their song, and I am a word of shame to them.

bbe@Job:30:10 @I am disgusting to them; they keep away from me, and put marks of shame on me.

bbe@Job:30:11 @For he has made loose the cord of my bow, and put me to shame; he has sent down my flag to the earth before me.

bbe@Job:30:12 @The lines of his men of war put themselves in order, and make high their ways of destruction against me:

bbe@Job:30:13 @They have made waste my roads, with a view to my destruction; his bowmen come round about me;

bbe@Job:30:14 @As through a wide broken place in the wall they come on, I am overturned by the shock of their attack.

bbe@Job:30:15 @Fears have come on me; my hope is gone like the wind, and my well-being like a cloud.

bbe@Job:30:16 @But now my soul is turned to water in me, days of trouble overtake me:

bbe@Job:30:17 @The flesh is gone from my bones, and they give me no rest; there is no end to my pains.

bbe@Job:30:18 @With great force he takes a grip of my clothing, pulling me by the neck of my coat.

bbe@Job:30:19 @Truly God has made me low, even to the earth, and I have become like dust

bbe@Job:30:21 @You have become cruel to me; the strength of your hand is hard on me.

bbe@Job:30:22 @Lifting me up, you make me go on the wings of the wind; I am broken up by the storm.

bbe@Job:30:23 @For I am certain that you will send me back to death, and to the meeting-place ordered for all living.

bbe@Job:30:26 @For I was looking for good, and evil came; I was waiting for light, and it became dark.

bbe@Job:30:27 @My feelings are strongly moved, and give me no rest; days of trouble have overtaken me.

bbe@Job:30:29 @I have become a brother to the jackals, and go about in the company of ostriches.

bbe@Job:30:30 @My skin is black and dropping off me; and my bones are burning with the heat of my disease.

bbe@Job:31:1 @I made an agreement with my eyes; how then might my eyes be looking on a virgin?

bbe@Job:31:6 @(Let me be measured in upright scales, and let God see my righteousness:)

bbe@Job:31:8 @Let me put seed in the earth for another to have the fruit of it, and let my produce be uprooted.

bbe@Job:31:11 @For that would be a crime; it would be an act for which punishment would be measured out by the judges:

bbe@Job:31:13 @If I did wrong in the cause of my man-servant, or my woman-servant, when they went to law with me;

bbe@Job:31:14 @What then will I do when God comes as my judge? and what answer may I give to his questions?

bbe@Job:31:15 @Did not God make him as well as me? did he not give us life in our mothers' bodies?

bbe@Job:31:17 @If I kept my food for myself, and did not give some of it to the child with no father;

bbe@Job:31:20 @If his back did not give me a blessing, and the wool of my sheep did not make him warm;

bbe@Job:31:23 @For the fear of God kept me back, and because of his power I might not do such things.

bbe@Job:31:27 @A secret feeling of worship came into my heart, and my hand gave kisses from my mouth;

bbe@Job:31:28 @That would have been another sin to be rewarded with punishment by the judges; for I would have been false to God on high.

bbe@Job:31:31 @If the men of my tent did not say, Who has not had full measure of his meat?

bbe@Job:31:34 @For fear of the great body of people, or for fear that families might make sport of me, so that I kept quiet, and did not go out of my door;

bbe@Job:31:35 @If only God would give ear to me, and the Ruler of all would give me an answer! or if what he has against me had been put in writing!

bbe@Job:31:36 @Truly I would take up the book in my hands; it would be to me as a crown;

bbe@Job:31:38 @If my land has made an outcry against me, or the ploughed earth has been in sorrow;

bbe@Job:31:39 @If I have taken its produce without payment, causing the death of its owners;

bbe@Job:31:40 @Then in place of grain let thorns come up, and in place of barley evil-smelling plants.

bbe@Job:32:1 @So these three men gave no more answers to Job, because he seemed to himself to be right.

bbe@Job:32:2 @And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was angry, burning with wrath against Job, because he seemed to himself more right than God;

bbe@Job:32:5 @And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, he was very angry.

bbe@Job:32:10 @So I say, Give ear to me, and I will put forward my knowledge.

bbe@Job:32:13 @Take care that you do not say, Wisdom is here; God may overcome him, but not man.

bbe@Job:32:15 @Fear has overcome them, they have no more answers to give; they have come to an end of words.

bbe@Job:32:20 @Let me say what is in my mind, so that I may get comfort; let me give answer with open mouth.

bbe@Job:32:21 @Let me not give respect to any man, or give names of honour to any living.

bbe@Job:32:22 @For I am not able to give names of honour to any man; and if I did, my Maker would quickly take me away.

bbe@Job:33:4 @The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Ruler of all gives me life.

bbe@Job:33:5 @If you are able, give me an answer; put your cause in order, and come forward.

bbe@Job:33:6 @See, I am the same as you are in the eyes of God; I was cut off from the same bit of wet earth.

bbe@Job:33:7 @Fear of me will not overcome you, and my hand will not be hard on you.

bbe@Job:33:8 @But you said in my hearing, and your voice came to my ears:

bbe@Job:33:9 @I am clean, without sin; I am washed, and there is no evil in me:

bbe@Job:33:10 @See, he is looking for something against me; in his eyes I am as one of his haters;

bbe@Job:33:15 @In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep comes on men, while they take their rest on their beds;

bbe@Job:33:16 @Then he makes his secrets clear to men, so that they are full of fear at what they see;

bbe@Job:33:19 @Pain is sent on him as a punishment, while he is on his bed; there is no end to the trouble in his bones;

bbe@Job:33:20 @He has no desire for food, and his soul is turned away from delicate meat;

bbe@Job:33:22 @And his soul comes near to the underworld, and his life to the angels of death.

bbe@Job:33:24 @And if he has mercy on him, and says, Let him not go down to the underworld, I have given the price for his life:

bbe@Job:33:25 @Then his flesh becomes young again, and he comes back to the days of his early strength;

bbe@Job:33:26 @He makes his prayer to God, and he has mercy on him; he sees God's face with cries of joy; he gives news of his righteousness to men;

bbe@Job:33:27 @He makes a song, saying, I did wrong, turning from the straight way, but he did not give me the reward of my sin.

bbe@Job:33:28 @He kept my soul from the underworld, and my life sees the light in full measure.

bbe@Job:33:29 @Truly, God does all these things to man, twice and three times,

bbe@Job:33:31 @Take note O Job, give ear to me; keep quiet, while I say what is in my mind.

bbe@Job:33:32 @If you have anything to say, give me an answer; for it is my desire that you may be judged free from sin.

bbe@Job:33:33 @If not, give attention to me, and keep quiet, and I will give you wisdom.

bbe@Job:34:2 @Give ear, you wise, to my words; and you who have knowledge, give attention to me;

bbe@Job:34:10 @Now then, you wise, take note; you men of knowledge, give ear to me. Let it be far from God to do evil, and from the Ruler of all to do wrong.

bbe@Job:34:14 @If he made his spirit come back to him, taking his breath into himself again,

bbe@Job:34:15 @All flesh would come to an end together, and man would go back to the dust.

bbe@Job:34:20 @Suddenly they come to an end, even in the middle of the night: the blow comes on the men of wealth, and they are gone, and the strong are taken away without the hand of man.

bbe@Job:34:23 @For he does not give man a fixed time to come before him to be judged.

bbe@Job:34:28 @So that the cry of the poor might come up to him, and the prayer of those in need come to his ears.

bbe@Job:34:34 @Men of knowledge, and all wise men, hearing me, will say,

bbe@Job:34:35 @Job's words do not come from knowledge; they are not the fruit of wisdom.

bbe@Job:34:36 @May Job be tested to the end, because his answers have been like those of evil men.

bbe@Job:35:3 @What profit is it to me, and how am I better off than if I had done wrong?

bbe@Job:35:9 @Because the hand of the cruel is hard on them, men are making sounds of grief; they are crying out for help because of the arm of the strong.

bbe@Job:36:2 @Give me a little more time, and I will make it clear to you; for I have still something to say for God.

bbe@Job:36:12 @But if not, they come to their end, and give up their breath without knowledge.

bbe@Job:36:14 @They come to their end while they are still young, their life is short like that of those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of their gods.

bbe@Job:36:24 @See that you give praise to his work, about which men make songs.

bbe@Job:36:31 @For by these he gives food to the peoples, and bread in full measure.

bbe@Job:37:3 @He sends it out through all the heaven, and his thunder-flame to the ends of the earth.

bbe@Job:37:4 @After it a voice is sounding, thundering out the word of his power; he does not keep back his thunder-flames; from his mouth his voice is sounding.

bbe@Job:37:6 @For he says to the snow, Make the earth wet; and to the rain-storm, Come down.

bbe@Job:37:9 @Out of its place comes the storm-wind, and the cold out of its store-houses.

bbe@Job:37:11 @The thick cloud is weighted with thunder-flame, and the cloud sends out its light;

bbe@Job:37:12 @And it goes this way and that, round about, turning itself by his guiding, to do whatever he gives orders to be done, on the face of his world of men,

bbe@Job:37:13 @For a rod, or for a curse, or for mercy, causing it to come on the mark.

bbe@Job:37:19 @Make clear to me what we are to say to him; we are unable to put our cause before him, because of the dark.

bbe@Job:37:20 @How may he have knowledge of my desire for talk with him? or did any man ever say, May destruction come on me?

bbe@Job:37:21 @And now the light is not seen, for it is dark because of the clouds; but a wind comes, clearing them away.

bbe@Job:37:22 @A bright light comes out of the north; God's glory is greatly to be feared.

bbe@Job:37:24 @For this cause men go in fear of him; he has no respect for any who are wise in heart.

bbe@Job:38:3 @Get your strength together like a man of war; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.

bbe@Job:38:5 @By whom were its measures fixed? Say, if you have wisdom; or by whom was the line stretched out over it?

bbe@Job:38:8 @Or where were you when the sea came to birth, pushing out from its secret place;

bbe@Job:38:11 @And said, So far you may come, and no farther; and here the pride of your waves will be stopped?

bbe@Job:38:16 @Have you come into the springs of the sea, walking in the secret places of the deep?

bbe@Job:38:21 @No doubt you have knowledge of it, for then you had come to birth, and the number of your days is great.

bbe@Job:38:22 @Have you come into the secret place of snow, or have you seen the store-houses of the ice-drops,

bbe@Job:38:23 @Which I have kept for the time of trouble, for the day of war and fighting?

bbe@Job:38:24 @Which is the way to the place where the wind is measured out, and the east wind sent out over the earth?

bbe@Job:38:26 @Causing rain to come on a land where no man is living, on the waste land which has no people;

bbe@Job:38:29 @Out of whose body came the ice? and who gave birth to the cold mist of heaven?

bbe@Job:38:32 @Do you make Mazzaroth come out in its right time, or are the Bear and its children guided by you?

bbe@Job:38:35 @Do you send out the thunder-flames, so that they may go, and say to you, Here we are?

bbe@Job:38:38 @When the earth becomes hard as metal, and is joined together in masses?

bbe@Job:38:39 @Do you go after food for the she-lion, or get meat so that the young lions may have enough,

bbe@Job:38:41 @Who gives in the evening the meat he is searching for, when his young ones are crying to God; when the young lions with loud noise go wandering after their food?

bbe@Job:39:2 @Is the number of their months fixed by you? or is the time when they give birth ordered by you?

bbe@Job:39:4 @Their young ones are strong, living in the open country; they go out and do not come back again.

bbe@Job:39:7 @He makes sport of the noise of the town; the voice of the driver does not come to his ears;

bbe@Job:39:12 @Will you be looking for him to come back, and get in your seed to the crushing-floor?

bbe@Job:39:17 @For God has taken wisdom from her mind, and given her no measure of knowledge.

bbe@Job:39:25 @When it comes to his ears he says, Aha! He is smelling the fight from far off, and hearing the thunder of the captains, and the war-cries.

bbe@Job:40:1 @Will he who is protesting give teaching to the Ruler of all? Let him who has arguments to put forward against God give an answer.

bbe@Job:40:6 @Get your strength together like a man of war: I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.

bbe@Job:40:9 @Put on the ornaments of your pride; be clothed with glory and power:

bbe@Job:40:23 @Will anyone take him when he is on the watch, or put metal teeth through his nose?

bbe@Job:41:4 @Will he make an agreement with you, so that you may take him as a servant for ever?

bbe@Job:41:5 @Will you make sport with him, as with a bird? or put him in chains for your young women?

bbe@Job:41:6 @Will the fishermen make profit out of him? will they have him cut up for the traders?

bbe@Job:41:9 @Truly, the hope of his attacker is false; he is overcome even on seeing him!

bbe@Job:41:10 @He is so cruel that no one is ready to go against him. Who then is able to keep his place before me?

bbe@Job:41:11 @Who ever went against me, and got the better of me? There is no one under heaven!

bbe@Job:41:12 @I will not keep quiet about the parts of his body, or about his power, and the strength of his frame.

bbe@Job:41:13 @Who has ever taken off his outer skin? who may come inside his inner coat of iron?

bbe@Job:41:16 @One is so near to the other that no air may come between them.

bbe@Job:41:18 @His sneezings give out flames, and his eyes are like the eyes of the dawn.

bbe@Job:41:19 @Out of his mouth go burning lights, and flames of fire are jumping up.

bbe@Job:41:20 @Smoke comes out of his nose, like a pot boiling on the fire.

bbe@Job:41:21 @His breath puts fire to coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.

bbe@Job:41:25 @When he gets ready for the fight, the strong are overcome with fear.

bbe@Job:41:26 @The sword may come near him but is not able to go through him; the spear, or the arrow, or the sharp-pointed iron.

bbe@Job:41:30 @Under him are sharp edges of broken pots: as if he was pulling a grain-crushing instrument over the wet earth.

bbe@Job:41:31 @The deep is boiling like a pot of spices, and the sea like a perfume-vessel.

bbe@Job:42:4 @Give ear to me, and I will say what is in my mind; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.

bbe@Job:42:5 @Word of you had come to my ears, but now my eye has seen you.

bbe@Job:42:7 @And it came about, after he had said these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, I am very angry with you and your two friends, because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.

bbe@Job:42:8 @And now, take seven oxen and seven sheep, and go to my servant Job, and give a burned offering for yourselves, and my servant Job will make prayer for you, that I may not send punishment on you; because you have not said what is right about me, as my servant Job has.

bbe@Job:42:11 @And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and a gold ring.

bbe@Job:42:12 @And the Lord's blessing was greater on the end of Job's life than on its start: and so he came to have fourteen thousand sheep and goats, and six thousand camels, and two thousand oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

bbe@Job:42:14 @And he gave the first the name of Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-happuch;

bbe@Job:42:15 @And there were no women so beautiful as the daughters of Job in all the earth: and their father gave them a heritage among their brothers.

bbe@Job:42:17 @And Job came to his end, old and full of days.

bbe@Psalms:1:3 @He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.

bbe@Psalms:1:5 @For this cause there will be no mercy for sinners when they are judged, and the evil-doers will have no place among the upright,

bbe@Psalms:2:5 @Then will his angry words come to their ears, and by his wrath they will be troubled:

bbe@Psalms:2:7 @I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.

bbe@Psalms:2:8 @Make your request to me, and I will give you the nations for your heritage, and the farthest limits of the earth will be under your hand.

bbe@Psalms:2:12 @For fear that he may be angry, causing destruction to come on you, because he is quickly moved to wrath. Happy are all those who put their faith in him.

bbe@Psalms:3:3 @But your strength, O Lord, is round me, you are my glory and the lifter up of my head.

bbe@Psalms:3:4 @I send up a cry to the Lord with my voice, and he gives me an answer from his holy hill. (Selah.)

bbe@Psalms:3:6 @I will have no fear, though ten thousand have come round me, putting themselves against me.

bbe@Psalms:3:7 @Come to me, Lord; keep me safe, O my God; for you have given all my haters blows on their face-bones; the teeth of the evil-doers have been broken by you.

bbe@Psalms:7:9 @O let the evil of the evil-doer come to an end, but give strength to the upright: for men's minds and hearts are tested by the God of righteousness.

bbe@Psalms:7:13 @He has made ready for him the instruments of death; he makes his arrows flames of fire.

bbe@Psalms:7:16 @His wrongdoing will come back to him, and his violent behaviour will come down on his head

bbe@Psalms:7:17 @I will give praise to the Lord for his righteousness; I will make a song to the name of the Lord Most High.

bbe@Psalms:8:2 @You have made clear your strength even out of the mouths of babies at the breast, because of those who are against you; so that you may put to shame the cruel and violent man.

bbe@Psalms:9:2 @I will be glad and have delight in you: I will make a song of praise to your name, O Most High.

bbe@Psalms:9:3 @When my haters are turned back, they will be broken and overcome before you.

bbe@Psalms:9:5 @You have said sharp words to the nations, you have sent destruction on the sinners, you have put an end to their name for ever and ever.

bbe@Psalms:9:6 @You have given their towns to destruction; the memory of them has gone; they have become waste for ever.

bbe@Psalms:13:6 @I will make a song to the Lord, because he has given me my reward.

bbe@Psalms:16:11 @You will make clear to me the way of life; where you are joy is complete; in your right hand there are pleasures for ever and ever.

bbe@Psalms:17:3 @You have put my heart to the test, searching me in the night; you have put me to the test and seen no evil purpose in me; I will keep my mouth from sin.

bbe@Psalms:17:4 @As for the works of men, by the word of your lips I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.

bbe@Psalms:17:6 @My cry has gone up to you, for you will give me an answer, O God: let your ear be turned to me, and give attention to my words.

bbe@Psalms:17:7 @Make clear the wonder of your mercy, O saviour of those who put their faith in your right hand, from those who come out against them.

bbe@Psalms:17:8 @Keep me as the light of your eyes, covering me with the shade of your wings,

bbe@Psalms:17:14 @With your hand, O Lord, from men, even men of the world, whose heritage is in this life, and whom you make full with your secret wealth: they are full of children; after their death their offspring take the rest of their goods.

bbe@Psalms:17:15 @As for me, I will see your face in righteousness: when I am awake it will be joy enough for me to see your form.

bbe@Psalms:18:3 @I will send up my cry to the Lord, who is to be praised; so will I be made safe from those who are against me.

bbe@Psalms:18:4 @The cords of death were round me, and the seas of evil put me in fear.

bbe@Psalms:18:5 @The cords of hell were round me: the nets of death came on me.

bbe@Psalms:18:6 @In my trouble my voice went up to the Lord, and my cry to my God: my voice came to his hearing in his holy Temple, and my prayer came before him, even into his ears.

bbe@Psalms:18:7 @Then trouble and shock came on the earth; and the bases of the mountains were moved and shaking, because he was angry.

bbe@Psalms:18:8 @There went up a smoke from his nose, and a fire of destruction from his mouth: flames were lighted by it.

bbe@Psalms:18:9 @The heavens were bent, so that he might come down; and it was dark under his feet.

bbe@Psalms:18:14 @He sent out his arrows, driving them in all directions; by his flames of fire they were troubled.

bbe@Psalms:18:16 @He sent from on high, he took me, pulling me out of great waters.

bbe@Psalms:18:17 @He made me free from my strong hater, and from those who were against me, because they were stronger than I.

bbe@Psalms:18:18 @They came on me in the day of my trouble; but the Lord was my support.

bbe@Psalms:18:19 @He took me out into a wide place; he was my saviour because he had delight in me.

bbe@Psalms:18:20 @The Lord gives me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean before him.

bbe@Psalms:18:22 @For all his decisions were before me, and I did not put away his laws from me.

bbe@Psalms:18:24 @Because of this the Lord has given me the reward of my righteousness, because my hands are clean in his eyes.

bbe@Psalms:18:25 @On him who has mercy you will have mercy; to the upright you will be upright;

bbe@Psalms:18:36 @You have made my steps wide under me, so that my feet are kept from slipping.

bbe@Psalms:18:37 @I go after my haters and overtake them; not turning back till they are all overcome.

bbe@Psalms:18:39 @For I have been armed by you with strength for the fight: you have made low under me those who come out against me.

bbe@Psalms:18:41 @They were crying out, but there was no one to come to their help: even to the Lord, but he gave them no answer.

bbe@Psalms:18:43 @You have made me free from the fightings of the people; you have made me the head of the nations: a people of whom I had no knowledge will be my servants.

bbe@Psalms:49:7 @Truly, no man may get back his soul for a price, or give to God the payment for himself;

bbe@Psalms:49:11 @The place of the dead is their house for ever, and their resting-place through all generations; those who come after them give their names to their lands.

bbe@Psalms:49:12 @But man, like the animals, does not go on for ever; he comes to an end like the beasts.

bbe@Psalms:77:6 @The memory of my song comes back to me in the night; my thoughts are moving in my heart; my spirit is searching with care.

bbe@Psalms:77:7 @Will the Lord put me away for ever? will he be kind no longer?

bbe@Psalms:77:8 @Is his mercy quite gone for ever? has his word come to nothing?

bbe@Psalms:77:9 @Has God put away the memory of his pity? are his mercies shut up by his wrath? (Selah.)

bbe@Psalms:77:11 @I will keep in mind the works of Jah: I will keep the memory of your wonders in the past.

bbe@Psalms:78:2 @Opening my mouth I will give out a story, even the dark sayings of old times;

bbe@Psalms:78:3 @Which have come to our hearing and our knowledge, as they were given to us by our fathers.

bbe@Psalms:78:6 @So that the generation to come might have knowledge of them, even the children of the future, who would give word of them to their children;

bbe@Psalms:78:9 @The children of Ephraim, armed with bows, were turned back on the day of the fight.

bbe@Psalms:78:11 @They let his works go out of their memory, and the wonders which he had made them see.

bbe@Psalms:78:14 @In the daytime he was guiding them in the cloud, and all through the night with a light of fire.

bbe@Psalms:78:16 @He made streams come out of the rock; and waters came flowing down like rivers.

bbe@Psalms:78:18 @Testing God in their hearts, requesting meat for their desire.

bbe@Psalms:78:20 @See, the rock was cut open by his power, so that the water came rushing out, and overflowing streams; is he able to give us bread? is he able to get meat for his people?

bbe@Psalms:78:21 @So these things came to the Lord's ears, and he was angry; and a fire was lighted against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel;

bbe@Psalms:78:25 @Man took part in the food of strong ones; he sent them meat in full measure.

bbe@Psalms:78:27 @He sent down meat on them like dust, and feathered birds like the sand of the sea,

bbe@Psalms:78:28 @And he let it come down into their resting-place, round about their tents.

bbe@Psalms:78:31 @The wrath of God came on them, and put to death the fattest of them, and put an end to the young men of Israel.

bbe@Psalms:78:35 @In the memory that God was their Rock, and the Most High God their saviour.

bbe@Psalms:78:37 @And their hearts were not right with him, and they did not keep their agreement with him.

bbe@Psalms:78:39 @So he kept in mind that they were only flesh; a breath which is quickly gone, and will not come again.

bbe@Psalms:78:59 @When this came to God's ears he was very angry, and gave up Israel completely;

bbe@Psalms:78:60 @So that he went away from the holy place in Shiloh, the tent which he had put among men;

bbe@Psalms:78:63 @Their young men were burned in the fire; and their virgins were not praised in the bride-song.

bbe@Psalms:78:66 @His haters were turned back by his blows and shamed for ever.

bbe@Psalms:79:6 @Let your wrath be on the nations who have no knowledge of you, and on the kingdoms who have not made prayer to your name.

bbe@Psalms:79:7 @For they have taken Jacob for their meat, and made waste his house.

bbe@Psalms:79:8 @Do not keep in mind against us the sins of our fathers; let your mercy come to us quickly, for we have been made very low.

bbe@Psalms:79:9 @Give us help, O God of our salvation, for the glory of your name; take us out of danger and give us forgiveness for our sins, because of your name.

bbe@Psalms:79:11 @Let the cry of the prisoner come before you; with your strong arm make free the children of death;

bbe@Psalms:79:12 @And give punishment seven times over into the breast of our neighbours for the bitter words which they have said against you, O Lord.

bbe@Psalms:80:2 @Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, let your strength be awake from sleep, and come as our salvation.

bbe@Psalms:80:5 @You have given them the bread of weeping for food; for their drink you have given them sorrow in great measure.

bbe@Psalms:80:14 @Come back, O God of armies: from heaven let your eyes be turned to this vine, and give your mind to it,

bbe@Psalms:81:11 @But my people did not give ear to my voice; Israel would have nothing to do with me.

bbe@Psalms:81:13 @If only my people would give ear to me, walking in my ways!

bbe@Psalms:81:14 @I would quickly overcome their haters: my hand would be turned against those who make war on them.

bbe@Psalms:82:7 @But you will come to death like men, falling like one of the rulers of the earth.

bbe@Psalms:82:8 @Up! O God, come as judge of the earth; for all the nations are your heritage.

bbe@Psalms:83:4 @They have said, Come, let us put an end to them as a nation; so that the name of Israel may go out of man's memory.

bbe@Psalms:83:5 @For they have all come to an agreement; they are all joined together against you:

bbe@Psalms:83:8 @Assur is joined with them; they have become the support of the children of Lot. (Selah.)

bbe@Psalms:83:10 @Who came to destruction at En-dor; their bodies became dust and waste.

bbe@Psalms:83:14 @As fire burning a wood, and as a flame causing fire on the mountains,

bbe@Psalms:83:16 @Let their faces be full of shame; so that they may give honour to your name, O Lord.

bbe@Psalms:83:17 @Let them be overcome and troubled for ever; let them be put to shame and come to destruction;

bbe@Psalms:83:18 @So that men may see that you only, whose name is Yahweh, are Most High over all the earth.

bbe@Psalms:84:7 @They go from strength to strength; every one of them comes before God in Zion.

bbe@Psalms:86:12 @I will give you praise, O Lord my God, with all my heart; I will give glory to your name for ever.

bbe@Psalms:86:13 @For your mercy to me is great; you have taken my soul up from the deep places of the underworld.

bbe@Psalms:86:14 @O God, men of pride have come up against me, and the army of violent men would take my life; they have not put you before them.

bbe@Psalms:86:15 @But you, O Lord, are a God full of pity and forgiveness, slow to get angry, great in mercy and wisdom.

bbe@Proverbs:30:1 @The words of Agur, the son of Jakeh, from Massa. The man says: I am full of weariness, O God, I am full of weariness; O God, I have come to an end:

bbe@Proverbs:30:4 @Who has gone up to heaven and come down? who has taken the winds in his hands, prisoning the waters in his robe? by whom have all the ends of the earth been fixed? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if you are able to say?

bbe@Proverbs:30:22 @A servant when he becomes a king; a man without sense when his wealth is increased;

bbe@Proverbs:30:25 @The ants are a people not strong, but they put by a store of food in the summer;

bbe@Proverbs:30:33 @The shaking of milk makes butter, and the twisting of the nose makes blood come: so the forcing of wrath is a cause of fighting.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:1:11 @There is no memory of those who have gone before, and of those who come after there will be no memory for those who are still to come after them.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:1:13 @And I gave my heart to searching out in wisdom all things which are done under heaven: it is a hard thing which God has put on the sons of men to do.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:1:16 @I said to my heart, See, I have become great and am increased in wisdom more than any who were before me in Jerusalem--yes, my heart has seen much wisdom and knowledge.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @I made a search with my heart to give pleasure to my flesh with wine, still guiding my heart with wisdom, and to go after foolish things, so that I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under the heavens all the days of their life.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:7 @I got men-servants and women-servants, and they gave birth to sons and daughters in my house. I had great wealth of herds and flocks, more than all who were in Jerusalem before me.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:8 @I got together silver and gold and the wealth of kings and of countries. I got makers of song, male and female; and the delights of the sons of men--girls of all sorts to be my brides.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:9 @And I became great; increasing more than all who had been before me in Jerusalem, and my wisdom was still with me.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:12 @And I went again in search of wisdom and of foolish ways. What may the man do who comes after the king? The thing which he has done before.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:14 @The wise man's eyes are in his head, but the foolish man goes walking in the dark; but still I saw that the same event comes to them all.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:15 @Then said I in my heart: As it comes to the foolish man, so will it come to me; so why have I been wise overmuch? Then I said in my heart: This again is to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:16 @Of the wise man, as of the foolish man, there is no memory for ever, seeing that those who now are will have gone from memory in the days to come. See how death comes to the wise as to the foolish!

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @So I was hating life, because everything under the sun was evil to me: all is to no purpose and desire for wind.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:18 @Hate had I for all my work which I had done, because the man who comes after me will have its fruits.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:2:24 @There is nothing better for a man than taking meat and drink, and having delight in his work. This again I saw was from the hand of God.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:1 @For everything there is a fixed time, and a time for every business under the sun.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:2 @A time for birth and a time for death; a time for planting and a time for uprooting;

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:3 @A time to put to death and a time to make well; a time for pulling down and a time for building up;

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:4 @A time for weeping and a time for laughing; a time for sorrow and a time for dancing;

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:5 @A time to take stones away and a time to get stones together; a time for kissing and a time to keep from kissing;

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:6 @A time for search and a time for loss; a time to keep and a time to give away;

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:7 @A time for undoing and a time for stitching; a time for keeping quiet and a time for talk;

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:8 @A time for love and a time for hate; a time for war and a time for peace.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:11 @He has made everything right in its time; but he has made their hearts without knowledge, so that man is unable to see the works of God, from the first to the last.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:17 @I said in my heart, God will be judge of the good and of the bad; because a time for every purpose and for every work has been fixed by him.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:18 @I said in my heart, It is because of the sons of men, so that God may put them to the test and that they may see themselves as beasts.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:19 @Because the fate of the sons of men and the fate of the beasts is the same. As is the death of one so is the death of the other, and all have one spirit. Man is not higher than the beasts; because all is to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:21 @Who is certain that the spirit of the sons of men goes up to heaven, or that the spirit of the beasts goes down to the earth?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:3:22 @So I saw that there is nothing better than for a man to have joy in his work--because that is his reward. Who will make him see what will come after him?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:3 @Yes, happier than the dead or the living seemed he who has not ever been, who has not seen the evil which is done under the sun.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:7 @Then I came back, and I saw an example of what is to no purpose under the sun.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:14 @Because out of a prison the young man comes to be king, though by birth he was only a poor man in the kingdom.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:4:16 @There was no end of all the people, of all those whose head he was, but they who come later will have no delight in him. This again is to no purpose and desire for wind.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:3 @As a dream comes from much business, so the voice of a foolish man comes with words in great number.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:7 @Because much talk comes from dreams and things of no purpose. But let the fear of God be in you.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:12 @The sleep of a working man is sweet, if he has little food or much; but to him who is full, sleep will not come

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:14 @And I saw the destruction of his wealth by an evil chance; and when he became the father of a son he had nothing in his hand.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:15 @As he came from his mother at birth, so does he go again; he gets from his work no reward which he may take away in his hand.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:16 @And this again is a great evil, that in all points as he came so will he go; and what profit has he in working for the wind?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:5:18 @This is what I have seen: it is good and fair for a man to take meat and drink and to have joy in all his work under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; that is his reward.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:6:1 @There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is hard on men;

bbe@Ecclesiastes:6:3 @If a man has a hundred children, and his life is long so that the days of his years are great in number, but his soul takes no pleasure in good, and he is not honoured at his death; I say that a birth before its time is better than he.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:6:4 @In wind it came and to the dark it will go, and with the dark will its name be covered.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:6:6 @And though he goes on living a thousand years twice over and does not see good, are not the two going to the same place?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:6:10 @That which is, has been named before, and of what man is there is knowledge. He has no power against one stronger than he.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:1 @A good name is better than oil of great price, and the day of death than the day of birth.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:10 @Say not, Why were the days which have gone by better than these? Such a question comes not from wisdom.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:17 @Be not evil overmuch, and be not foolish. Why come to your end before your time?

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:21 @Do not give ear to all the words which men say, for fear of hearing the curses of your servant.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:23 @All this I have put to the test by wisdom; I said, I will be wise, but it was far from me.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:7:29 @This only have I seen, that God made men upright, but they have been searching out all sorts of inventions.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:5 @Whoever keeps the law will come to no evil: and a wise man's heart has knowledge of time and of decision.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:6 @For every purpose there is a time and a decision, because the sorrow of man is great in him.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:8 @No man has authority over the wind, to keep the wind; or is ruler over the day of his death. In war no man's time is free, and evil will not keep the sinner safe.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:9 @All this have I seen, and have given my heart to all the work which is done under the sun: there is a time when man has power over man for his destruction.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:10 @And then I saw evil men put to rest, taken even from the holy place; and they went about and were praised in the town because of what they had done. This again is to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:11 @Because punishment for an evil work comes not quickly, the minds of the sons of men are fully given to doing evil.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:12 @Though a sinner does evil a hundred times and his life is long, I am certain that it will be well for those who go in fear of God and are in fear before him.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:14 @There is a thing which is to no purpose done on the earth: that there are good men to whom is given the same punishment as those who are evil, and there are evil men who get the reward of the good. I say that this again is to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @So I gave praise to joy, because there is nothing better for a man to do under the sun than to take meat and drink and be happy; for that will be with him in his work all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:1 @All this I took to heart, and my heart saw it all: that the upright and the wise and their works are in the hand of God; and men may not be certain if it will be love or hate; all is to no purpose before them.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:3 @This is evil in all things which are done under the sun: that there is one fate for all, and the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; while they have life their hearts are foolish, and after that--to the dead.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:5 @The living are conscious that death will come to them, but the dead are not conscious of anything, and they no longer have a reward, because there is no memory of them.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:7 @Come, take your bread with joy, and your wine with a glad heart. God has taken pleasure in your works.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:8 @Let your clothing be white at all times, and let not your head be without oil.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:10 @Whatever comes to your hand to do with all your power, do it because there is no work, or thought, or knowledge, or wisdom in the place of the dead to which you are going.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @And again I saw under the sun that the reward goes not to him who is quick, or the fruits of war to the strong; and there is no bread for the wise, or wealth for men of learning, or respect for those who have knowledge; but time and chance come to all.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @Even man has no knowledge of his time; like fishes taken in an evil net, or like birds taken by deceit, are the sons of men taken in an evil time when it comes suddenly on them.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @This again I have seen under the sun as wisdom and it seemed great to me.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:14 @There was a little town and the number of its men was small, and there came a great king against it and made an attack on it, building works of war round about it.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:15 @Now there was in the town a poor, wise man, and he, by his wisdom, kept the town safe. But no one had any memory of that same poor man.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:17 @The words of the wise which come quietly to the ear are noted more than the cry of a ruler among the foolish.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:9:18 @Wisdom is better than instruments of war, but one sinner is the destruction of much good.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @Dead flies make the oil of the perfumer give out an evil smell; more valued is a little wisdom than the great glory of the foolish.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:5 @There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, like an error which comes by chance from a ruler:

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:6 @The foolish are placed in high positions, but men of wealth are kept low.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:8 @He who makes a hole for others will himself go into it, and for him who makes a hole through a wall the bite of a snake will be a punishment.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:13 @The first words of his mouth are foolish, and the end of his talk is evil crime.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:17 @Happy is the land whose ruler is of noble birth, and whose chiefs take food at the right time, for strength and not for feasting.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:10:18 @When no work is done the roof goes in, and when the hands do nothing water comes into the house.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:11:1 @Put out your bread on the face of the waters; for after a long time it will come back to you again.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:11:3 @If the clouds are full of rain, they send it down on the earth; and if a tree comes down to the south, or the north, in whatever place it comes down, there it will be.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:11:8 @But even if a man's life is long and he has joy in all his years, let him keep in mind the dark days, because they will be great in number. Whatever may come is to no purpose.

bbe@Ecclesiastes:12:1 @Let your mind be turned to your Maker in the days of your strength, while the evil days come not, and the years are far away when you will say, I have no pleasure in them;

bbe@Ecclesiastes:12:2 @While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, are not dark, and the clouds come not back after the rain;

bbe@Ecclesiastes:12:3 @In the day when the keepers of the house are shaking for fear, and the strong men are bent down, and the women who were crushing the grain are at rest because their number is small, and those looking out of the windows are unable to see;

bbe@Ecclesiastes:12:11 @The words of the wise are pointed, and sayings grouped together are like nails fixed with a hammer; they are given by one guide.

bbe@Songs:1:2 @Let him give me the kisses of his mouth: for his love is better than wine.

bbe@Songs:1:3 @Sweet is the smell of your perfumes; your name is as perfume running out; so the young girls give you their love.

bbe@Songs:1:4 @Take me to you, and we will go after you: the king has taken me into his house. We will be glad and full of joy in you, we will give more thought to your love than to wine: rightly are they your lovers.

bbe@Songs:1:6 @Let not your eyes be turned on me, because I am dark, because I was looked on by the sun; my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vine-gardens; but my vine-garden I have not kept.

bbe@Songs:1:8 @If you have not knowledge, O most beautiful among women, go on your way in the footsteps of the flock, and give your young goats food by the tents of the keepers.

bbe@Songs:1:11 @We will make you chains of gold with ornaments of silver.

bbe@Songs:1:12 @While the king is seated at his table, my spices send out their perfume.

bbe@Songs:1:13 @As a bag of myrrh is my well-loved one to me, when he is at rest all night between my breasts.

bbe@Songs:1:14 @My love is to me as a branch of the cypress-tree in the vine-gardens of En-gedi.

bbe@Songs:2:4 @He took me to the house of wine, and his flag over me was love.

bbe@Songs:2:5 @Make me strong with wine-cakes, let me be comforted with apples; I am overcome with love.

bbe@Songs:2:6 @His left hand is under my head, and his right hand is round about me.

bbe@Songs:2:8 @The voice of my loved one! See, he comes dancing on the mountains, stepping quickly on the hills.

bbe@Songs:2:10 @My loved one said to me, Get up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

bbe@Songs:2:12 @The flowers are come on the earth; the time of cutting the vines is come, and the voice of the dove is sounding in our land;

bbe@Songs:2:13 @The fig-tree puts out her green fruit and the vines with their young fruit give a good smell. Get up from your bed, my beautiful one, and come away.

bbe@Songs:2:14 @O my dove, you are in the holes of the mountain sides, in the cracks of the high hills; let me see your face, let your voice come to my ears; for sweet is your voice, and your face is fair.

bbe@Songs:2:17 @Till the evening comes, and the sky slowly becomes dark, come, my loved one, and be like a roe on the mountains of Bether.

bbe@Songs:3:3 @The watchmen who go about the town came by me; to them I said, Have you seen him who is my heart's desire?

bbe@Songs:3:4 @I was but a little way from them, when I came face to face with him who is the love of my soul. I took him by the hands, and did not let him go, till I had taken him into my mother's house, and into the room of her who gave me birth.

bbe@Songs:3:6 @Who is this coming out of the waste places like pillars of smoke, perfumed with sweet spices, with all the spices of the trader?

bbe@Songs:3:7 @See, it is the bed of Solomon; sixty men of war are about it, of the army of Israel,

bbe@Songs:3:8 @All of them armed with swords, trained in war; every man has his sword at his side, because of fear in the night.

bbe@Songs:4:2 @Your teeth are like a flock of sheep whose wool is newly cut, which come up from the washing; every one has two lambs, and there is not one without young.

bbe@Songs:4:3 @Your red lips are like a bright thread, and your mouth is fair of form; the sides of your head are like pomegranate fruit under your veil.

bbe@Songs:4:4 @Your neck is like the tower of David made for a store-house of arms, in which a thousand breastplates are hanging, breastplates for fighting-men.

bbe@Songs:4:5 @Your two breasts are like two young roes of the same birth, which take their food among the lilies.

bbe@Songs:4:6 @Till the evening comes, and the sky slowly becomes dark, I will go to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.

bbe@Songs:4:8 @Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, with me from Lebanon; see from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir and Hermon, from the places of the lions, from the mountains of the leopards.

bbe@Songs:4:10 @How fair is your love, my sister! How much better is your love than wine, and the smell of your oils than any perfume!

bbe@Songs:4:11 @Your lips are dropping honey; honey and milk are under your tongue; and the smell of your clothing is like the smell of Lebanon.

bbe@Songs:4:13 @The produce of the garden is pomegranates; with all the best fruits, henna and spikenard,

bbe@Songs:4:16 @Be awake, O north wind; and come, O south, blowing on my garden, so that its spices may come out. Let my loved one come into his garden, and take of his good fruits.

bbe@Songs:5:1 @I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; to take my myrrh with my spice; my wax with my honey; my wine with my milk. Take meat, O friends; take wine, yes, be overcome with love.

bbe@Songs:5:2 @I am sleeping, but my heart is awake; it is the sound of my loved one at the door, saying, Be open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my very beautiful one; my head is wet with dew, and my hair with the drops of the night.

bbe@Songs:5:6 @I made the door open to my loved one; but my loved one had taken himself away, and was gone, my soul was feeble when his back was turned on me; I went after him, but I did not come near him; I said his name, but he gave me no answer.

bbe@Songs:5:7 @The keepers who go about the town overtook me; they gave me blows and wounds; the keepers of the walls took away my veil from me.

bbe@Songs:5:8 @I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you see my loved one, what will you say to him? That I am overcome with love.

bbe@Songs:5:9 @What is your loved one more than another, O fairest among women? What is your loved one more than another, that you say this to us?

bbe@Songs:5:13 @His face is as beds of spices, giving out perfumes of every sort; his lips like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.

bbe@Songs:5:14 @His hands are as rings of gold ornamented with beryl-stones; his body is as a smooth plate of ivory covered with sapphires.

bbe@Songs:6:1 @Where is your loved one gone, O most fair among women? Where is your loved one turned away, that we may go looking for him with you?

bbe@Songs:6:3 @I am for my loved one, and my loved one is for me; he takes food among the lilies.

bbe@Songs:6:5 @Let your eyes be turned away from me; see, they have overcome me; your hair is as a flock of goats which take their rest on the side of Gilead.

bbe@Songs:6:6 @Your teeth are like a flock of sheep which come up from the washing; every one has two lambs, and there is not one without young.

bbe@Songs:6:7 @Like pomegranate fruit are the sides of your head under your veil.

bbe@Songs:6:11 @I went down into the garden of nuts to see the green plants of the valley, and to see if the vine was in bud, and the pomegranate-trees were in flower.

bbe@Songs:6:13 @Come back, come back, O Shulammite; come back, come back, so that our eyes may see you. What will you see in the Shulammite? A sword-dance.

bbe@Songs:7:3 @Your two breasts are like two young roes of the same birth.

bbe@Songs:7:5 @Your head is like Carmel, and the hair of your head is like purple, in whose net the king is prisoner.

bbe@Songs:7:8 @I said, Let me go up the palm-tree, and let me take its branches in my hands: your breasts will be as the fruit of the vine, and the smell of your breath like apples;

bbe@Songs:7:10 @I am for my loved one, and his desire is for me.

bbe@Songs:7:11 @Come, my loved one, let us go out into the field; let us take rest among the cypress-trees.

bbe@Songs:7:12 @Let us go out early to the vine-gardens; let us see if the vine is in bud, if it has put out its young fruit, and the pomegranate is in flower. There I will give you my love.

bbe@Songs:7:13 @The mandrakes give out a sweet smell, and at our doors are all sorts of good fruits, new and old, which I have kept for my loved one.

bbe@Songs:8:1 @Oh that you were my brother, who took milk from my mother's breasts! When I came to you in the street, I would give you kisses; yes, I would not be looked down on.

bbe@Songs:8:2 @I would take you by the hand into my mother's house, and she would be my teacher. I would give you drink of spiced wine, drink of the pomegranate.

bbe@Songs:8:3 @His left hand would be under my head, and his right hand about me.

bbe@Songs:8:5 @Who is this, who comes up from the waste places, resting on her loved one? It was I who made you awake under the apple-tree, where your mother gave you birth; there she was in pain at your birth.

bbe@Songs:8:6 @Put me as a sign on your heart, as a sign on your arm; love is strong as death, and wrath bitter as the underworld: its coals are coals of fire; violent are its flames.

bbe@Songs:8:7 @Much water may not put out love, or the deep waters overcome it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would be judged a price not great enough.

bbe@Songs:8:10 @I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers; then was I in his eyes as one to whom good chance had come.

bbe@Songs:8:12 @My vine-garden, which is mine, is before me: you, O Solomon, will have the thousand, and those who keep the fruit of them two hundred.

bbe@Songs:8:13 @You who have your resting-place in the gardens, the friends give ear to your voice; make me give ear to it.

bbe@Songs:8:14 @Come quickly, my loved one, and be like a roe on the mountains of spice.

bbe@Isaiah:1:2 @Give ear, O heavens, and you, O earth, to the word which the Lord has said: I have taken care of my children till they became men, but their hearts have been turned away from me.

bbe@Isaiah:1:3 @Even the ox has knowledge of its owner, and the ass of the place where its master puts its food: but Israel has no knowledge, my people give no thought to me.

bbe@Isaiah:1:4 @O nation full of sin, a people weighted down with crime, a generation of evil-doers, false-hearted children: they have gone away from the Lord, they have no respect for the Holy One of Israel, their hearts are turned back from him.

bbe@Isaiah:1:5 @Why will you have more and more punishment? why keep on in your evil ways? Every head is tired and every heart is feeble.

bbe@Isaiah:1:7 @Your country has become waste; your towns are burned with fire; as for your land, it is overturned before your eyes, made waste and overcome by men from strange lands.

bbe@Isaiah:1:8 @And the daughter of Zion has become like a tent in a vine-garden, like a watchman's house in a field of fruit, like a town shut in by armies.

bbe@Isaiah:1:9 @If the Lord of armies had not kept some at least of us safe, we would have been like Sodom, and the fate of Gomorrah would have been ours.

bbe@Isaiah:1:11 @What use to me is the number of the offerings which you give me? says the Lord; your burned offerings of sheep, and the best parts of fat cattle, are a weariness to me; I take no pleasure in the blood of oxen, or of lambs, or of he-goats.

bbe@Isaiah:1:12 @At whose request do you come before me, making my house unclean with your feet?

bbe@Isaiah:1:13 @Give me no more false offerings; the smoke of burning flesh is disgusting to me, so are your new moons and Sabbaths and your holy meetings.

bbe@Isaiah:1:15 @And when your hands are stretched out to me, my eyes will be turned away from you: even though you go on making prayers, I will not give ear: your hands are full of blood.

bbe@Isaiah:1:18 @Come now, and let us have an argument together, says the Lord: how may your sins which are red like blood be white as snow? how may their dark purple seem like wool?

bbe@Isaiah:1:20 @But if your hearts are turned against me, I will send destruction on you by the sword; so the Lord has said.

bbe@Isaiah:1:21 @The upright town has become untrue; there was a time when her judges gave right decisions, when righteousness had a resting-place in her, but now she is full of those who take men's lives.

bbe@Isaiah:1:22 @Your silver is no longer true metal, your wine is mixed with water.

bbe@Isaiah:1:23 @Your chiefs have gone against the Lord, they have become friends of thieves; every one of them is looking for profit and going after rewards; they do not give right decisions for the child who has no father, and they do not let the cause of the widow come before them.

bbe@Isaiah:1:24 @For this reason the Lord, the Lord of armies, the Strong One of Israel, has said, I will put an end to my haters, and send punishment on those who are against me;

bbe@Isaiah:1:25 @And my hand will again be on you, washing away what is unclean as with soap, and taking away all your false metal;

bbe@Isaiah:1:26 @And I will give you judges again as at the first, and wise guides as in the past; then you will be named, The Town of Righteousness, the true town.

bbe@Isaiah:1:27 @Upright acts will be the price of Zion's forgiveness, and by righteousness will men be living there.

bbe@Isaiah:1:29 @For you will be put to shame because of the trees of your desire, and because of the gardens of your pleasure.

bbe@Isaiah:1:30 @For you will be like a tree whose leaves have become dry, and like a garden without water.

bbe@Isaiah:1:31 @And the strong will be as food for the fire, and his work as a flame; and they will be burned together, with no one to put out the fire.

bbe@Isaiah:2:2 @And it will come about in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord will be placed on the top of the mountains, and be lifted up over the hills; and all nations will come to it.

bbe@Isaiah:2:3 @And the peoples will say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob: and he will give us knowledge of his ways, and we will be guided by his word; for out of Zion the law will go out, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

bbe@Isaiah:2:5 @O family of Jacob, come, and let us go in the light of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:2:11 @The high looks of man will be put to shame, and the pride of men will be made low, and only the Lord will be lifted up in that day.

bbe@Isaiah:2:12 @For the day of the Lord of armies is coming on all the pride of men, and on all who are high and lifted up;

bbe@Isaiah:2:17 @And the high looks of man will be put to shame, and the pride of men will be made low: and only the Lord will be lifted up in that day.

bbe@Isaiah:2:19 @And men will go into cracks of the rocks, and into holes of the earth, for fear of the Lord, and before the glory of his power, when he comes out of his place, shaking the earth with his strength.

bbe@Isaiah:2:20 @In that day men will put their images of silver and of gold, which they made for worship, in the keeping of the beasts of the dark places;

bbe@Isaiah:2:21 @To take cover in the cracks of the rocks, and in the holes of the hills, for fear of the Lord, and before the glory of his power, when he comes out of his place, shaking the earth with his strength.

bbe@Isaiah:3:7 @Then he will say with an oath, I will not be a helper, for in my house there is no bread or clothing: I will not let you make me a ruler of the people.

bbe@Isaiah:3:8 @For Jerusalem has become feeble, and destruction has come on Judah, because their words and their acts are against the Lord, moving the eyes of his glory to wrath.

bbe@Isaiah:3:9 @Their respect for a man's position is a witness against them; and their sin is open to the view of all; like that of Sodom, it is not covered. A curse on their soul! for the measure of their sin is full.

bbe@Isaiah:3:11 @Unhappy is the sinner! for the reward of his evil doings will come on him.

bbe@Isaiah:3:12 @As for my people, their ruler is acting like a child, and those who have authority over them are women. O my people, your guides are the cause of your wandering, turning your footsteps out of the right way.

bbe@Isaiah:3:13 @The Lord is ready to take up his cause against his people, and is about to come forward as their judge.

bbe@Isaiah:3:14 @The Lord comes to be the judge of their responsible men and of their rulers: it is you who have made waste the vine-garden, and in your houses is the property of the poor which you have taken by force.

bbe@Isaiah:3:18 @In that day the Lord will take away the glory of their foot-rings, and their sun-jewels, and their moon-ornaments,

bbe@Isaiah:3:20 @The head-bands, and the arm-chains, and the worked bands, and the perfume-boxes, and the jewels with secret powers,

bbe@Isaiah:3:24 @And in the place of sweet spices will be an evil smell, and for a fair band a thick cord; for a well-dressed head there will be the cutting-off of the hair, and for a beautiful robe there will be the clothing of sorrow; the mark of the prisoner in place of the ornaments of the free.

bbe@Isaiah:3:25 @Your men will be put to the sword, and your men of war will come to destruction in the fight.

bbe@Isaiah:4:1 @And in that day seven women will put their hands on one man, saying, There will be no need for you to give us food or clothing, only let us go under your name, so that our shame may be taken away.

bbe@Isaiah:4:3 @And it will come about that the rest of the living in Zion, and of those who have been kept from destruction in Jerusalem, will be named holy, even everyone who has been recorded for life in Jerusalem:

bbe@Isaiah:4:5 @And over every living-place on Mount Zion, all over all her meetings, the Lord will make a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night, for over all, the glory of the Lord will be a cover and a tent;

bbe@Isaiah:4:6 @And a shade in the daytime from the heat, and a safe cover from storm and from rain.

bbe@Isaiah:5:1 @Let me make a song about my loved one, a song of love for his vine-garden. My loved one had a vine-garden on a fertile hill:

bbe@Isaiah:5:3 @And now, you people of Jerusalem and you men of Judah, be the judges between me and my vine-garden.

bbe@Isaiah:5:4 @Is there anything which might have been done for my vine-garden which I have not done? why then, when I was hoping for the best grapes did it give me common grapes?

bbe@Isaiah:5:6 @And I will make it waste; its branches will not be touched with the knife, or the earth worked with the spade; but blackberries and thorns will come up in it: and I will give orders to the clouds not to send rain on it.

bbe@Isaiah:5:7 @For the vine-garden of the Lord of armies is the people of Israel, and the men of Judah are the plant of his delight: and he was looking for upright judging, and there was blood; for righteousness, and there was a cry for help.

bbe@Isaiah:5:9 @The Lord of armies has said to me secretly, Truly, numbers of great and fair houses will be waste, with no one living in them.

bbe@Isaiah:5:10 @For ten fields of vines will only give one measure of wine, and a great amount of seed will only give a small measure of grain.

bbe@Isaiah:5:12 @And corded instruments and wind-instruments and wine are in their feasts: but they give no thought to the work of the Lord, and they are not interested in what his hands are doing

bbe@Isaiah:5:15 @And the poor man's head is bent, and the great man goes down on his face, and the eyes of pride are put to shame:

bbe@Isaiah:5:19 @Who say, Let him do his work quickly, let him make it sudden, so that we may see it: let the design of the Holy One of Israel come near, so that it may be clear to us.

bbe@Isaiah:5:20 @Cursed are those who give the name of good to evil, and of evil to what is good: who make light dark, and dark light: who make bitter sweet, and sweet bitter!

bbe@Isaiah:5:24 @For this cause, as the waste of the grain is burned up by tongues of fire, and as the dry grass goes down before the flame, so their root will be like the dry stems of grain, and their flower will go up in dust: because they have gone against the law of the Lord of armies, and have given no honour to the word of the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:5:25 @For this reason the wrath of the Lord has been burning against his people, and his hand has been stretched out against them in punishment, and the hills were shaking, and their dead bodies were like waste in the open places of the town.

bbe@Isaiah:5:26 @And he will let a flag be lifted up as a sign to a far-off nation, whistling to them from the ends of the earth: and they will come quickly and suddenly.

bbe@Isaiah:5:27 @There is no weariness among them, and no man is feeble-footed: they come without resting or sleeping, and the cord of their shoes is not broken.

bbe@Isaiah:5:29 @The sound of their armies will be like the voice of a lion, and their war-cry like the noise of young lions: with loud cries they will come down on their food and will take it away safely, and there will be no one to take it out of their hands.

bbe@Isaiah:6:5 @Then I said, The curse is on me, and my fate is destruction; for I am a man of unclean lips, living among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lord of armies.

bbe@Isaiah:6:6 @Then a winged one came to me with a burning coal in his hand, which he had taken from off the altar with the fire-spoon.

bbe@Isaiah:6:8 @And the voice of the Lord came to my ears, saying, Whom am I to send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I, send me.

bbe@Isaiah:6:10 @Make the hearts of this people fat, and let their ears be stopped, and their eyes shut; for fear that they may see with their eyes, and be hearing with their ears, and their heart may become wise, and they may be turned to me and made well.

bbe@Isaiah:6:11 @Then I said, Lord, how long? And he said in answer, Till the towns are waste and unpeopled, and the houses have no men, and the land becomes completely waste,

bbe@Isaiah:6:12 @And the Lord has taken men far away, and there are wide waste places in the land.

bbe@Isaiah:7:1 @Now it came about in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin, the king of Aram, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but were not able to overcome it.

bbe@Isaiah:7:2 @And word came to the family of David that Aram had put up its tents in Ephraim. And the king's heart, and the hearts of his people, were moved, like the trees of the wood shaking in the wind.

bbe@Isaiah:7:3 @Then the Lord said to Isaiah, Go out now, you and Shear-jashub, your son, and you will come across Ahaz at the end of the stream flowing from the higher pool, in the highway of the washerman's field;

bbe@Isaiah:7:7 @This is the word of the Lord God: This design will not come about or be effected.

bbe@Isaiah:7:13 @And he said, Give ear now, O family of David: is it not enough that you are driving men to disgust? will you do the same to my God?

bbe@Isaiah:7:14 @For this cause the Lord himself will give you a sign; a young woman is now with child, and she will give birth to a son, and she will give him the name Immanuel.

bbe@Isaiah:7:16 @For before the child is old enough to make a decision between evil and good, the land whose two kings you are now fearing will have become waste

bbe@Isaiah:7:17 @The Lord is about to send on you, and on your people, and on your father's house, such a time of trouble as there has not been from the days of the separating of Ephraim from Judah; even the coming of the king of Assyria.

bbe@Isaiah:7:19 @And they will come, covering all the waste valleys, and the holes of the rocks, and the thorns, and all the watering-places.

bbe@Isaiah:7:24 @Men will come there with bows and arrows, because all the land will be full of blackberries and thorns.

bbe@Isaiah:8:1 @And the Lord said to me, Take a great writing-board, and on it put down in common letters, Maher-shalal-hash-baz;

bbe@Isaiah:8:3 @And I went in to my wife, and she became with child, and gave birth to a son. Then the Lord said to me, Give him the name Maher-shalal-hash-baz,

bbe@Isaiah:8:5 @And the Lord said again to me,

bbe@Isaiah:8:7 @For this cause the Lord is sending on them the waters of the River, deep and strong, even the king of Assyria and all his glory: and it will come up through all its streams, overflowing all its edges:

bbe@Isaiah:8:8 @And it will come on into Judah; rushing on and overflowing, till the waters are up to the neck; *** and his outstretched wings will be covering the land from side to side: for God is with us.

bbe@Isaiah:8:10 @Let your designs be formed, and they will come to nothing; give your orders, and they will not be effected: for God is with us.

bbe@Isaiah:8:11 @For the Lord, controlling me with a strong hand, gave me orders not to go in the way of this people, saying,

bbe@Isaiah:8:14 @And he will be for a holy place: but for a stone of falling and a rock of trouble to the two houses of Israel, and to the men of Jerusalem, for a net in which they may be taken.

bbe@Isaiah:8:18 @See, I and the children whom the Lord has given me, are for signs and for wonders in Israel from the Lord of armies, whose resting-place is in Mount Zion

bbe@Isaiah:8:21 @And he will go through the land in bitter trouble and in need of food; and when he is unable to get food, he will become angry, cursing his king and his God, and his eyes will be turned to heaven on high;

bbe@Isaiah:9:1 @In earlier times he made the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali of small value, but after that he gave it glory, by the way of the sea, on the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the nations.

bbe@Isaiah:9:3 @You have made them very glad, increasing their joy. They are glad before you as men are glad in the time of getting in the grain, or when they make division of the goods taken in war.

bbe@Isaiah:9:6 @For to us a child has come, to us a son is given; and the government has been placed in his hands; and he has been named Wise Guide, Strong God, Father for ever, Prince of Peace.

bbe@Isaiah:9:8 @The Lord has sent a word to Jacob, and it has come on Israel;

bbe@Isaiah:9:9 @And all the people will have experience of it, even Ephraim and the men of Samaria, who say in the pride of their uplifted hearts,

bbe@Isaiah:9:10 @The bricks have come down, but we will put up buildings of cut stone in their place: the sycamores are cut down, but they will be changed to cedars.

bbe@Isaiah:9:12 @Aram on the east, and the Philistines on the west, who have come against Israel with open mouths. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

bbe@Isaiah:9:13 @But the heart of the people was not turned to him who sent punishment on them, and they made no prayer to the Lord of armies.

bbe@Isaiah:9:16 @For the guides of this people are the cause of their wandering from the right way, and those who are guided by them come to destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:9:17 @For this cause the Lord will have no pleasure in their young men, and no pity on their widows and the children without fathers: for they are all haters of God and evil-doers, and foolish words come from every mouth. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

bbe@Isaiah:9:19 @The land was dark with the wrath of the Lord of armies: the people were like those who take men's flesh for food.

bbe@Isaiah:9:20 @On the right a man was cutting off bits and was still in need; on the left a man took a meal but had not enough; no man had pity on his brother; every man was making a meal of the flesh of his neighbour

bbe@Isaiah:9:21 @Manasseh was making a meal of Ephraim, and Ephraim of Manasseh; and together they were attacking Judah. For all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.

bbe@Isaiah:10:3 @And what will you do in the day of punishment, and in the destruction which is coming from far? to whom will you go for help, and what will become of your glory?

bbe@Isaiah:10:5 @Ho! Assyrian, the rod of my wrath, the instrument of my punishment!

bbe@Isaiah:10:10 @As my hand has come on the kingdoms of the images, whose pictured images were more in number than those of Jerusalem and Samaria;

bbe@Isaiah:10:12 @For this cause it will be that, when the purpose of the Lord against Mount Zion and Jerusalem is complete, I will send punishment on the pride of the heart of the king of Assyria, and on the glory of his uplifted eyes.

bbe@Isaiah:10:13 @For he has said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my knowledge, for I am wise: and I have taken away the limits of the peoples' lands, and the stores of their wealth have become mine; and I have made towns low in the dust, sending destruction on those living in them;

bbe@Isaiah:10:16 @For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, will make his fat become wasted; and in his inner parts a fire will be lighted like a burning flame.

bbe@Isaiah:10:17 @And the light of Israel will be for a fire, and his Holy One for a flame: wasting and burning up his thorns in one day.

bbe@Isaiah:10:20 @And it will be in that day that the rest of Israel, and those of Jacob who have come safely through these troubles, will no longer go for help to him whose rod was on their back, but their faith will be in the Lord, the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:10:21 @The rest, even the rest of Jacob, will come back to the Strong God.

bbe@Isaiah:10:22 @For though your people, O Israel, are as the sand of the sea, only a small number will come back: for the destruction is fixed, overflowing in righteousness.

bbe@Isaiah:10:24 @For this cause the Lord, the Lord of armies, says, O my people living in Zion, have no fear of the Assyrian, even if his rod comes on your back, and his stick is lifted up as in Egypt.

bbe@Isaiah:10:25 @For in a very short time my passion will be over, and my wrath will be turned to their destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:10:26 @And the Lord of armies will be shaking a whip against him, as when he overcame Midian at the rock of Oreb: and his rod will be lifted up against them as it was against the Egyptians.

bbe@Isaiah:10:28 @He has gone up from Pene-Rimmon, he has come to Aiath; he has gone past Migron, at Michmash he puts his forces in order.

bbe@Isaiah:10:31 @Madmenah has gone; the men of Gebim are putting their goods in a safe place.

bbe@Isaiah:11:1 @And there will come a rod out of the broken tree of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots will give fruit.

bbe@Isaiah:11:4 @But he will do right in the cause of the poor, and give wise decisions for those in the land who are in need; and the rod of his mouth will come down on the cruel, and with the breath of his lips he will put an end to the evil-doer.

bbe@Isaiah:11:11 @And in that day the hand of the Lord will be stretched out the second time to get back the rest of his people, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the sea-lands

bbe@Isaiah:11:13 @And the envy of Ephraim will be gone, and those who make trouble for Judah will come to an end: Ephraim will have no more envy of Judah, and there will be an end of Judah's hate for Ephraim.

bbe@Isaiah:11:15 @And the Lord will make the tongue of the Egyptian sea completely dry; and with his burning wind his hand will be stretched out over the River, and it will be parted into seven streams, so that men may go over it with dry feet.

bbe@Isaiah:11:16 @And there will be a highway for the rest of his people from Assyria; as there was for Israel in the day when he came up out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Isaiah:12:1 @And in that day you will say I will give praise to you, O Lord; for though you were angry with me, your wrath is turned away, and I am comforted.

bbe@Isaiah:12:2 @See, God is my salvation; I will have faith in the Lord, without fear: for the Lord Jah is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation.

bbe@Isaiah:12:4 @And in that day you will say, Give praise to the Lord, let his name be honoured, give word of his doings among the peoples, say that his name is lifted up.

bbe@Isaiah:13:3 @I have given orders to my holy ones, I have sent out my men of war, those of mine who take pride in their power, to give effect to my wrath.

bbe@Isaiah:13:4 @The noise of great numbers in the mountains, like the noise of a strong people! The noise of the kingdoms of the nations meeting together! The Lord of armies is numbering his forces for war.

bbe@Isaiah:13:5 @They come from a far country, from the farthest part of heaven, even the Lord and the instruments of his wrath, with destruction for all the land.

bbe@Isaiah:13:6 @Send out a cry of grief; for the day of the Lord is near; it comes as destruction from the Most High.

bbe@Isaiah:13:8 @Their hearts will be full of fear; pains and sorrows will overcome them; they will be in pain like a woman in childbirth; they will be shocked at one another; their faces will be like flames.

bbe@Isaiah:13:11 @And I will send punishment on the world for its evil, and on the sinners for their wrongdoing; and I will put an end to all pride, and will make low the power of the cruel.

bbe@Isaiah:13:12 @I will make men so small in number, that a man will be harder to get than gold, even the best gold of Ophir.

bbe@Isaiah:13:17 @See, I am driving the Medes against them, who put no value on silver and have no pleasure in gold.

bbe@Isaiah:13:18 @In their hands are bows and spears; they are cruel, violently putting the young men to death, and crushing the young women; they have no pity for children, and no mercy for the fruit of the body.

bbe@Isaiah:13:20 @People will never be living in it again, and it will have no more men from generation to generation: the Arab will not put up his tent there; and those who keep sheep will not make it a resting-place for their flocks.

bbe@Isaiah:13:22 @And wolves will be answering one another in their towers, and jackals in their houses of pleasure: her time is near, and her days of power will quickly be ended.

bbe@Isaiah:14:1 @For the Lord will have mercy on Jacob, and will again make Israel his special people, and will put them in their land; and the man from a strange country will take his place among them and be joined to the family of Jacob.

bbe@Isaiah:14:2 @And the people will take them with them to their place: and the children of Israel will give them a heritage in the Lord's land as men-servants and women-servants, making them prisoners whose prisoners they were; and they will be rulers over their masters.

bbe@Isaiah:14:4 @That you will take up this bitter song against the king of Babylon, and say, How has the cruel overseer come to an end! He who was lifted up in pride is cut off;

bbe@Isaiah:14:8 @Even the trees of the wood are glad over you, the trees of Lebanon, saying, From the time of your fall no wood-cutter has come up against us with an axe.

bbe@Isaiah:14:10 @They all make answer and say to you, Have you become feeble like us? have you been made even as we are?

bbe@Isaiah:14:11 @Your pride has gone down into the underworld, and the noise of your instruments of music; the worms are under you, and your body is covered with them.

bbe@Isaiah:14:13 @For you said in your heart, I will go up to heaven, I will make my seat higher than the stars of God; I will take my place on the mountain of the meeting-place of the gods, in the inmost parts of the north.

bbe@Isaiah:14:15 @But you will come down to the underworld, even to its inmost parts.

bbe@Isaiah:14:19 @But you, like a birth before its time, are stretched out with no resting-place in the earth; clothed with the bodies of the dead who have been put to the sword, who go down to the lowest parts of the underworld; a dead body, crushed under foot.

bbe@Isaiah:14:20 @As for your fathers, you will not be united with them in their resting-place, because you have been the cause of destruction to your land, and of death to your people; the seed of the evil-doer will have no place in the memory of man.

bbe@Isaiah:14:21 @Make ready a place of death for his children, because of the evil-doing of their father; so that they may not come up and take the earth for their heritage, covering the face of the world with waste places.

bbe@Isaiah:14:22 @For I will come up against them, says the Lord of armies, cutting off from Babylon name and offspring, son and son's son, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:14:24 @The Lord has taken an oath, saying, My design will certainly come about, and my purpose will be effected:

bbe@Isaiah:14:25 @To let the Assyrian be broken in my land, and crushed under foot on my mountains: there will his yoke be taken away from them, and his rule over them come to an end.

bbe@Isaiah:14:28 @In the year of the death of King Ahaz this word came to the prophet:

bbe@Isaiah:14:29 @Be not glad, O Philistia, all of you, because the rod which was on you is broken: for out of the snake's root will come a poison-snake, and its fruit will be a winged poison-snake.

bbe@Isaiah:14:30 @And the poorest of the land will have food, and those in need will be given a safe resting-place: but your seed will come to an end for need of food, and the rest of you will be put to the sword.

bbe@Isaiah:14:31 @Send out a cry, O door! Make sounds of sorrow, O town! All your land has come to nothing, O Philistia; for there comes a smoke out of the north, and everyone keeps his place in the line.

bbe@Isaiah:15:1 @The word about Moab. For in a night Ar of Moab has become waste, and is seen no longer; for in a night Kir of Moab has become waste, and is seen no longer.

bbe@Isaiah:15:2 @The daughter of Dibon has gone up to the high places, weeping: Moab is sounding her cry of sorrow over Nebo, and over Medeba: everywhere the hair of the head and of the face is cut off.

bbe@Isaiah:15:6 @The waters of Nimrim will become dry: for the grass is burned up, the young grass is coming to an end, every green thing is dead.

bbe@Isaiah:16:4 @Let those who have been forced out of Moab have a resting-place with you; be a cover to them from him who is making waste their land: till the cruel ones are cut off, and wasting has come to an end, and those who take pleasure in crushing the poor are gone from the land.

bbe@Isaiah:16:5 @Then a king's seat will be based on mercy, and one will be seated on it in the tent of David for ever; judging uprightly, and quick to do righteousness.

bbe@Isaiah:16:7 @For this cause everyone in Moab will give cries of grief for Moab: crushed to the earth, they will be weeping for the men of Kir-hareseth.

bbe@Isaiah:16:8 @For the fields of Heshbon are waste, the vine of Sibmah is dead; the lords of nations were overcome by the produce of her vines; her vine-plants went as far as Jazer, and came even to the waste land; her branches were stretched out to the sea.

bbe@Isaiah:16:9 @For this cause my sorrow for the vine of Sibmah will be like the weeping for Jazer: my eyes are dropping water on you, O Heshbon and Elealeh! For they are sounding the war-cry over your summer fruits and the getting in of your grain;

bbe@Isaiah:16:10 @And all joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field; and in the vine-gardens there are no songs or sounds of joy: the crushing of grapes has come to an end, and its glad cry has been stopped.

bbe@Isaiah:16:14 @But now the Lord has said, In three years, the years of a servant working for payment, the glory of Moab, all that great people, will be turned to shame, and the rest of Moab will be very small and without honour.

bbe@Isaiah:17:1 @The word about Damascus. See, they have made Damascus a town no longer; it has become a waste place.

bbe@Isaiah:17:3 @The strong tower has gone from Ephraim, and the kingdom from Damascus: the rest of Aram will come to destruction, and be made like the glory of the children of Israel, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Isaiah:17:4 @And it will be in that day that the glory of Jacob will be made small, and the strength of his body will become feeble.

bbe@Isaiah:17:6 @But it will be like a man shaking an olive-tree, something will still be there, two or three berries on the top of the highest branch, four or five on the outside branches of a fertile tree, says the Lord, the God of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:17:9 @In that day your towns will be like the waste places of the Hivites and the Amorites which the children of Israel took for a heritage, and they will come to destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:18:4 @For this is what the Lord has said to me: I will be quiet, watching from my place; like the clear heat when the sun is shining, like a mist of dew in the heat of summer.

bbe@Isaiah:18:5 @For before the time of getting in the grapes, after the opening of the bud, when the flower has become a grape ready for crushing, he will take away the small branches with knives, cutting down and taking away the wide-stretching branches.

bbe@Isaiah:18:6 @They will be for the birds of the mountains, and for the beasts of the earth: the birds will come down on them in the summer, and the beasts of the earth in the winter.

bbe@Isaiah:18:7 @In that time an offering will be made to the Lord of armies from a people tall and smooth, causing fear through all their history; a strong nation, crushing down its haters, whose land is cut through by rivers, an offering taken to the place of the name of the Lord of armies, even Mount Zion.

bbe@Isaiah:19:5 @And the waters of the sea will be cut off, and the river will become dry and waste:

bbe@Isaiah:19:6 @And the rivers will have an evil smell; the stream of Egypt will become small and dry: all the water-plants will come to nothing.

bbe@Isaiah:19:7 @The grass-lands by the Nile, and everything planted by the Nile, will become dry, or taken away by the wind, and will come to an end.

bbe@Isaiah:19:8 @The fishermen will be sad, and all those who put fishing-lines into the Nile will be full of grief, and those whose nets are stretched out on the waters will have sorrow in their hearts.

bbe@Isaiah:19:9 @And all the workers in linen thread, and those who make cotton cloth, will be put to shame.

bbe@Isaiah:19:11 @The chiefs of Zoan are completely foolish; the wisest guides of Pharaoh have become like beasts: how do you say to Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the offspring of early kings?

bbe@Isaiah:19:12 @Where, then, are your wise men? let them make clear to you, let them give you knowledge of the purpose of the Lord of armies for Egypt.

bbe@Isaiah:19:13 @The chiefs of Zoan have become foolish, the chiefs of Noph are tricked, the heads of her tribes are the cause of Egypt's wandering out of the way.

bbe@Isaiah:19:14 @The Lord has sent among them a spirit of error: and by them Egypt is turned out of the right way in all her doings, as a man overcome by wine is uncertain in his steps.

bbe@Isaiah:19:16 @In that day the Egyptians will be like women: and the land will be shaking with fear because of the waving of the Lord's hand stretched out over it.

bbe@Isaiah:19:17 @And the land of Judah will become a cause of great fear to Egypt; whenever its name comes to mind, Egypt will be in fear before the Lord of armies because of his purpose against it.

bbe@Isaiah:19:18 @In that day there will be five towns in the land of Egypt using the language of Canaan, and making oaths to the Lord of armies; and one of them will be named, The Town of the Sun.

bbe@Isaiah:19:21 @And the Lord will give the knowledge of himself to Egypt, and the Egyptians will give honour to the Lord in that day; they will give him worship with offerings and meal offerings, and will take an oath to the Lord and give effect to it.

bbe@Isaiah:19:22 @And the Lord will send punishment on Egypt, and will make them well again; and when they come back to the Lord he will give ear to their prayer and take away their disease.

bbe@Isaiah:19:23 @In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and Assyria will come into Egypt, and Egypt will come into Assyria; and the Egyptians will give worship to the Lord together with the Assyrians.

bbe@Isaiah:20:1 @In the year when the Tartan came to Ashdod, sent by Sargon, king of Assyria, and made war against it and took it;

bbe@Isaiah:20:2 @At that time the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, the son of Amoz, saying, Go, and take off your robe, and your shoes from your feet; and he did so, walking unclothed and without shoes on his feet.

bbe@Isaiah:20:4 @So will the king of Assyria take away the prisoners of Egypt and those forced out of Ethiopia, young and old, unclothed and without shoes, and with backs uncovered, to the shame of Egypt.

bbe@Isaiah:21:1 @The word about the waste land. As storm-winds in the South go rushing through, it comes from the waste land, from the land greatly to be feared.

bbe@Isaiah:21:2 @A vision of fear comes before my eyes; the worker of deceit goes on in his false way, and the waster goes on making waste. Up! Elam; to the attack! Media; I have put an end to her sorrow.

bbe@Isaiah:21:3 @For this cause I am full of bitter grief; pains like the pains of a woman in childbirth have come on me: I am bent down with sorrow at what comes to my ears; I am shocked by what I see.

bbe@Isaiah:21:4 @My mind is wandering, fear has overcome me: the evening of my desire has been turned into shaking for me.

bbe@Isaiah:21:6 @For so has the Lord said to me, Go, let a watchman be placed; let him give word of what he sees:

bbe@Isaiah:21:7 @And when he sees war-carriages, horsemen by twos, war-carriages with asses, war-carriages with camels, let him give special attention.

bbe@Isaiah:21:9 @See, here come war-carriages with men, horsemen by twos: and in answer he said, Babylon is made low, is made low, and all her images are broken on the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:21:10 @O my crushed ones, the grain of my floor! I have given you the word which came to me from the Lord of armies, the God of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:21:11 @The word about Edom. A voice comes to me from Seir, Watchman, how far gone is the night? how far gone is the night?

bbe@Isaiah:21:12 @The watchman says, The morning has come, but night is still to come: if you have questions to put, put them, and come back again.

bbe@Isaiah:21:14 @Give water to him who is in need of water; give bread, O men of the land of Tema, to those in flight

bbe@Isaiah:21:16 @For so has the Lord said to me, In a year, by the years of a servant working for payment, all the glory of Kedar will come to an end:

bbe@Isaiah:21:17 @And the rest of the bowmen, the men of war of the children of Kedar, will be small in number: for the Lord, the God of Israel, has said it.

bbe@Isaiah:22:2 @You, who are full of loud voices, a town of outcries, given up to joy; your dead men have not been put to the sword, or come to their death in war.

bbe@Isaiah:22:4 @For this cause I have said, Let your eyes be turned away from me in my bitter weeping; I will not be comforted for the wasting of the daughter of my people.

bbe@Isaiah:22:6 @And Elam was armed with arrows, and Aram came on horseback; and the breastplate of Kir was uncovered.

bbe@Isaiah:22:7 @And your most fertile valleys were full of war-carriages, and the horsemen took up their positions in front of the town.

bbe@Isaiah:22:13 @But in place of these there was joy and delight, oxen and sheep were being made ready for food, there was feasting and drinking: men said, Now is the time for food and wine, for tomorrow death comes.

bbe@Isaiah:22:14 @And the Lord of armies said to me secretly, Truly, this sin will not be taken from you till your death, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.

bbe@Isaiah:22:18 @Twisting you round and round like a ball he will send you out into a wide country: there you will come to your end, and there will be the carriages of your pride, O shame of your lord's house!

bbe@Isaiah:22:21 @And I will put your robe on him, and put your band about him, and I will give your authority into his hand: and he will be a father to the men of Jerusalem, and to the family of Judah.

bbe@Isaiah:23:2 @Send out a cry of grief, you men of the sea-land, traders of Zidon, who go over the sea, whose representatives are on great waters;

bbe@Isaiah:23:4 @Be shamed, O Zidon: for the sea, the strong place of the sea has said, I have not been with child, or given birth; I have not taken care of young men, or kept watch over the growth of virgins.

bbe@Isaiah:23:5 @When the news comes to Egypt they will be bitterly pained at the fate of Tyre.

bbe@Isaiah:23:6 @Go over to Tarshish; give cries of sorrow, O men of the sea-land.

bbe@Isaiah:23:7 @Is this the town which was full of joy, whose start goes back to times long past, whose wanderings took her into far-off countries?

bbe@Isaiah:23:8 @By whom was this purposed against Tyre, the crowning town, whose traders are chiefs, whose business men are honoured in the land?

bbe@Isaiah:23:9 @It was the purpose of the Lord of armies to put pride to shame, to make sport of the glory of those who are honoured in the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:23:16 @Take an instrument of music, go about the town, O loose woman who has gone out from the memory of man; make sweet melody with songs, so that you may come back to men's minds.

bbe@Isaiah:23:17 @And it will be after the end of seventy years, that the Lord will have mercy on Tyre, and she will go back to her trade, acting as a loose woman with all the kingdoms of the world on the face of the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:24:2 @And it will be the same for the people as for the priest; for the servant as for his master; and for the woman-servant as for her owner; the same for the one offering goods for a price as for him who takes them; the same for him who gives money at interest and for him who takes it; the same for him who lets others have the use of his property as for those who make use of it.

bbe@Isaiah:24:3 @The earth will be completely waste and without men; for this is the word of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:24:4 @The earth is sorrowing and wasting away, the world is full of grief and wasting away, the high ones of the earth come to nothing.

bbe@Isaiah:24:5 @The earth has been made unclean by those living in it; because the laws have not been kept by them, the orders have been changed, and the eternal agreement has been broken.

bbe@Isaiah:24:8 @The pleasing sound of all instruments of music has come to an end, and the voices of those who are glad.

bbe@Isaiah:24:10 @The town is waste and broken down: every house is shut up, so that no man may come in.

bbe@Isaiah:24:15 @Give praise to the Lord in the east, to the name of the Lord, the God of Israel, in the sea-lands.

bbe@Isaiah:24:16 @From the farthest part of the earth comes the sound of songs, glory to the upright. But I said, I am wasting away, wasting away, the curse is on me! The false ones go on in their false way, yes, they go on acting falsely.

bbe@Isaiah:24:17 @Fear, and death, and the net, are come on you, O people of the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:24:20 @The earth will be moving uncertainly, like a man overcome by drink; it will be shaking like a tent; and the weight of its sin will be on it, crushing it down so that it will not get up again

bbe@Isaiah:24:21 @And in that day the Lord will send punishment on the army of the high ones on high, and on the kings of the earth on the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:24:22 @And they will be got together, like prisoners in the prison-house; and after a long time they will have their punishment.

bbe@Isaiah:24:23 @Then the moon will be veiled, and the sun put to shame; for the Lord of armies will be ruling in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his judges he will let his glory be seen.

bbe@Isaiah:25:1 @O Lord, you are my God; I will give praise to you, I will give honour to your name; for you have done great acts of power; your purposes in the past have been made true and certain in effect.

bbe@Isaiah:25:2 @For you have made a town a waste place: a strong town a mass of broken walls; the tower of the men of pride has come to an end; it will never be put up again.

bbe@Isaiah:25:5 @As heat by the shade of a cloud, the noise of the men of pride has been made quiet by you; as heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the cruel ones has been stopped.

bbe@Isaiah:25:8 @He has put an end to death for ever; and the Lord God will take away all weeping; and he will put an end to the shame of his people in all the earth: for the Lord has said it.

bbe@Isaiah:25:10 @For in this mountain will the hand of the Lord come to rest, and Moab will be crushed down in his place, even as the dry stems of the grain are crushed under foot in the waste place.

bbe@Isaiah:26:2 @Let the doors be open, so that the upright nation which keeps faith may come in.

bbe@Isaiah:26:8 @We have been waiting for you, O Lord; the desire of our soul is for the memory of your name.

bbe@Isaiah:26:9 @In the night the desire of my soul has been for you; early will my spirit be searching for you; for when your punishments come on the earth, the people of the world will get the knowledge of righteousness.

bbe@Isaiah:26:12 @Lord, you will give us peace: for all our works are the outcome of your purpose.

bbe@Isaiah:26:13 @O Lord, our God, other lords than you have had rule over us; but in you only is our salvation, and no other name will we take on our lips.

bbe@Isaiah:26:14 @The dead will not come back to life: their spirits will not come back to earth; for this cause you have sent destruction on them, so that the memory of them is dead.

bbe@Isaiah:26:16 @Lord, in trouble our eyes have been turned to you, we sent up a prayer when your punishment was on us.

bbe@Isaiah:26:17 @As a woman with child, whose time is near, is troubled, crying out in her pain; so have we been before you, O Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:26:18 @We have been with child, we have been in pain, we have given birth to wind; no salvation has come to the earth through us, and no children have come into the world.

bbe@Isaiah:26:19 @Your dead will come back; their dead bodies will come to life again. Those in the dust, awaking from their sleep, will send out a song; for your dew is a dew of light, and the earth will give birth to the shades.

bbe@Isaiah:26:20 @Come, my people, into your secret places, and let your doors be shut: keep yourself safe for a short time, till his wrath is over.

bbe@Isaiah:26:21 @For the Lord is coming out of his place to send punishment on the people of the earth for their evil-doing: the earth will let the blood drained out on her be seen, and will keep her dead covered no longer.

bbe@Isaiah:27:1 @In that day the Lord, with his great and strong and cruel sword, will send punishment on Leviathan, the quick-moving snake, and on Leviathan, the twisted snake; and he will put to death the dragon which is in the sea.

bbe@Isaiah:27:3 @I, the Lord, am watching it; I will give it water at all times: I will keep it night and day, for fear that any damage comes to it.

bbe@Isaiah:27:4 @My passion is over: if the thorns were fighting against me, I would make an attack on them, and they would be burned up together.

bbe@Isaiah:27:5 @Or let him put himself under my power, and make peace with me.

bbe@Isaiah:27:6 @In days to come Jacob will take root: Israel will put out buds and flowers; and the face of the world will be full of fruit.

bbe@Isaiah:27:7 @Is his punishment like the punishment of those who overcame him? or are his dead as great in number as those he put to the sword?

bbe@Isaiah:27:9 @So by this will the sin of Jacob be covered, and this is all the fruit of taking away his punishment; when all the stones of the altar are crushed together, so that the wood pillars and the sun-images will not be put up again.

bbe@Isaiah:27:10 @For the strong town is without men, an unpeopled living-place; and she has become a waste land: there the young ox will take his rest, and its branches will be food for him.

bbe@Isaiah:27:11 @When its branches are dry they will be broken off; the women will come and put fire to them: for it is a foolish people; for this cause he who made them will have no mercy on them, and he whose work they are will not have pity on them.

bbe@Isaiah:27:13 @And it will be in that day that a great horn will be sounded; and those who were wandering in the land of Assyria, and those who had been sent away into the land of Egypt, will come; and they will give worship to the Lord in the holy mountain at Jerusalem

bbe@Isaiah:28:1 @Ho! crown of pride of those who are given up to wine in Ephraim, and the dead flower of his glory which is on the head of those who are overcome by strong drink!

bbe@Isaiah:28:2 @See, the Lord has a strong and cruel one; like a rain of ice, a storm of destruction, like the overflowing of a strong river, he will violently overcome them.

bbe@Isaiah:28:4 @And the dead flower of his glory, which is on the head of the fertile valley, will be like the first early fruit before the summer; which a man takes and puts in his mouth the minute he sees it.

bbe@Isaiah:28:5 @In that day will the Lord of armies be a crown of glory, and a fair ornament, to the rest of his people;

bbe@Isaiah:28:7 @And further, these are uncertain through wine, and have gone out of the right way through strong drink: the priest and the prophet are uncertain through strong drink, they are overcome by wine, they have gone out of the way through strong drink; their vision is false, they go wrong in their decisions.

bbe@Isaiah:28:14 @Give ear then to the word of the Lord, you men of pride, the rulers of this people in Jerusalem:

bbe@Isaiah:28:15 @Because you have said, We have made death our friend, and with the underworld we have made an agreement; when the overflowing waters come through they will not come near us; for we are looking to false words for help, taking cover in what is untrue:

bbe@Isaiah:28:17 @And I will make right decision the measuring-line, and righteousness the weight: and the ice-storm will take away the safe place of false words, and the secret place will be covered by the flowing waters.

bbe@Isaiah:28:18 @And the help you were looking for from death will come to nothing, and your agreement with the underworld will be broken; when the overflowing waters come through, then you will be overcome by them.

bbe@Isaiah:28:19 @Whenever they come through they will overtake you; for they will come through morning after morning, by day and by night: and the news will be nothing but fear.

bbe@Isaiah:28:21 @For the Lord will come up as on Mount Perazim, he will be moved to wrath as in the valley of Gibeon; so that he may do his work--strange is his work; and give effect to his act--unnatural is his act.

bbe@Isaiah:28:22 @And now, take care that you do not make sport of him, or your bands will be made strong; for I have had word from the Lord, the Lord of armies, of an end, of a complete end, which is to come on all the land.

bbe@Isaiah:28:27 @For the fitches are not crushed with a sharp instrument, and a cart-wheel is not rolled over the cummin; but the grain of the fitches is hammered out with a stick, and of the cummin with a rod.

bbe@Isaiah:28:29 @This comes from the Lord of armies, purposing wonders, and wise in all his acts.

bbe@Isaiah:29:1 @Ho! Ariel, Ariel, the town against which David made war; put year to year, let the feasts come round:

bbe@Isaiah:29:2 @And I will send trouble on Ariel, and there will be weeping and cries of grief; and she will be to me as Ariel.

bbe@Isaiah:29:4 @And you will be made low, and your voice will come out of the earth, and your words will be low out of the dust; and your voice will come out of the earth like that of a spirit, making bird-like noises out of the dust.

bbe@Isaiah:29:5 @And the army of your attackers will be like small dust, and all the cruel ones like dry stems gone before the wind; suddenly it will come about.

bbe@Isaiah:29:6 @The Lord of armies will come in with thunder and earth-shaking and great noise, with rushing wind and storm, and the flame of burning fire.

bbe@Isaiah:29:9 @Be surprised and full of wonder; let your eyes be covered and be blind: be overcome, but not with wine; go with uncertain steps, but not because of strong drink.

bbe@Isaiah:29:11 @And the vision of all this has become to you like the words of a book which is shut, which men give to one who has knowledge of writing, saying, Make clear to us what is in the book: and he says, I am not able to, for the book is shut:

bbe@Isaiah:29:13 @And the Lord said, because this people come near to me with their mouths, and give honour to me with their lips, but their heart is far from me, and their fear of me is false, a rule given them by the teaching of men;

bbe@Isaiah:29:14 @For this cause I will again do a strange thing among this people, a thing to be wondered at: and the wisdom of their wise men will come to nothing, and the sense of their guides will no longer be seen.

bbe@Isaiah:29:16 @You are turning things upside down! Is the wet earth the same to you as the one who is forming it? will the thing made say of him who made it, He made me not: or the thing formed say of him who gave it form, He has no knowledge?

bbe@Isaiah:29:17 @In a very short time Lebanon will become a fertile field, and the fertile field will seem like a wood

bbe@Isaiah:29:20 @For the cruel one has come to nothing; and those who make sport of the Lord are gone; and those who are watching to do evil are cut off:

bbe@Isaiah:29:22 @For this reason the Lord, the saviour of Abraham, says about the family of Jacob, Jacob will not now be put to shame, or his face be clouded with fear.

bbe@Isaiah:29:23 @But when they, the children of Jacob, see the work of my hands among them, they will give honour to my name; yes, they will give honour to the Holy One of Jacob, and go in fear of the God of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:30:1 @Ho! uncontrolled children, says the Lord, who give effect to a purpose which is not mine, and who make an agreement, but not by my spirit, increasing their sin:

bbe@Isaiah:30:2 @Who make a move to go down into Egypt, without authority from me; who are looking to the strength of Pharaoh for help, and whose hope is in the shade of Egypt.

bbe@Isaiah:30:3 @And the strength of Pharaoh will be your shame, and your hope in the shade of Egypt will come to nothing.

bbe@Isaiah:30:4 @For his chiefs are at Zoan, and his representatives have come to Hanes.

bbe@Isaiah:30:5 @For they have all come with offerings to a people of no use to them, in whom is no help or profit, but only shame and a bad name.

bbe@Isaiah:30:6 @The word about the Beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and grief, the land of the she-lion and the voice of the lion, of the snake and the burning winged snake, they take their wealth on the backs of young asses, and their stores on camels, to a people in whom is no profit.

bbe@Isaiah:30:7 @For there is no use or purpose in the help of Egypt: so I have said about her, She is Rahab, who has come to an end.

bbe@Isaiah:30:8 @Now go, put it in writing before them on a board, and make a record of it in a book, so that it may be for the future, a witness for all time to come.

bbe@Isaiah:30:14 @And he will let it be broken as a potter's vessel is broken: it will be smashed to bits without mercy; so that there will not be a bit in which one may take fire from the fireplace, or water from the spring.

bbe@Isaiah:30:18 @For this cause the Lord will be waiting, so that he may be kind to you; and he will be lifted up, so that he may have mercy on you; for the Lord is a God of righteousness: there is a blessing on all whose hope is in him.

bbe@Isaiah:30:19 @O people, living in Zion, at Jerusalem, your weeping will be ended; he will certainly have mercy on you at the sound of your cry; when it comes to his ear, he will give you an answer

bbe@Isaiah:30:25 @And there will be rivers and streams of water on every tall mountain and on every high hill, in the day when great numbers are put to the sword, when the towers come down.

bbe@Isaiah:30:26 @And the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times greater, as the light of seven days, in the day when the Lord puts oil on the wounds of his people, and makes them well from the blows they have undergone.

bbe@Isaiah:30:27 @See, the name of the Lord is coming from far, burning with his wrath, with thick smoke going up: his lips are full of passion, and his tongue is like a burning fire:

bbe@Isaiah:30:30 @And the Lord will send out the sound of his great voice, and they will see his arm stretched out, with the heat of his wrath, and the flame of a burning fire; with a cloud-burst, and storm, and a rain of ice.

bbe@Isaiah:30:32 @And every blow of the rod of his punishment, which the Lord will send on him, will be with the sound of music: and with the waving of his sword the Lord will make war against him.

bbe@Isaiah:31:1 @Cursed are those who go down to Egypt for help, and who put their faith in horses; looking to war-carriages for salvation, because of their numbers; and to horsemen, because they are very strong; but they are not looking to the Holy One of Israel, or turning their hearts to the Lord;

bbe@Isaiah:31:3 @For the Egyptians are men, and not God; and their horses are flesh, and not spirit: and when the Lord's hand is stretched out, the helper and he who is helped will come down together.

bbe@Isaiah:31:4 @For the Lord has said to me, As a lion, or a young lion, makes an angry noise over his food, and if a band of herdsmen come out against him, he will not be in fear of their voices, or give up his food for their noise: so the Lord of armies will come down to make war against Mount Zion and its hill.

bbe@Isaiah:31:6 @Come back to him who has been so deeply sinned against by the children of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:31:8 @Then the Assyrian will come down by the sword, but not of man; the sword, not of men, will be the cause of his destruction: and he will go in flight from the sword, and his young men will be put to forced work.

bbe@Isaiah:31:9 @And his rock will come to nothing because of fear, and his chiefs will go in flight from the flag, says the Lord, whose fire is in Zion, and his altar in Jerusalem.

bbe@Isaiah:32:4 @The man of sudden impulses will become wise in heart, and he whose tongue is slow will get the power of talking clearly.

bbe@Isaiah:32:5 @The foolish man will no longer be named noble, and they will not say of the false man that he is a man of honour.

bbe@Isaiah:32:9 @Give ear to my voice, you women who are living in comfort; give attention to my words, you daughters who have no fear of danger.

bbe@Isaiah:32:11 @Be shaking with fear, you women who are living in comfort; be troubled, you who have no fear of danger: take off your robes and put on clothing of grief.

bbe@Isaiah:32:13 @And for the land of my people, where thorns will come up; even for all the houses of joy in the glad town.

bbe@Isaiah:32:14 @For the fair houses will have no man living in them; the town which was full of noise will become a waste; the hill and the watchtower will be unpeopled for ever, a joy for the asses of the woods, a place of food for the flocks;

bbe@Isaiah:32:15 @Till the spirit comes on us from on high, and the waste land becomes a fertile field, and the fertile field is changed into a wood.

bbe@Isaiah:32:19 @But the tall trees will come down with a great fall, and the town will be low in a low place.

bbe@Isaiah:33:1 @Ho! you who make waste those who did not make you waste; acting falsely to those who were not false to you. When you have come to an end of wasting, you will be made waste, and after your false acts, they will do the same to you.

bbe@Isaiah:33:2 @O Lord, have mercy on us; for we have been waiting for your help: be our strength every morning, our salvation in time of trouble.

bbe@Isaiah:33:4 @And the goods taken in war will be got together like the massing of young locusts; men will be rushing on them like the rushing of locusts.

bbe@Isaiah:33:7 @See, the men of war are sorrowing outside the town: those who came looking for peace are weeping bitterly.

bbe@Isaiah:33:8 @The highways are waste, no man is journeying there: the agreement is broken, he has made sport of the towns, he has no thought for man.

bbe@Isaiah:33:9 @The earth is sorrowing and wasting away; Lebanon is put to shame and has become waste; Sharon is like the Arabah; and in Bashan and Carmel the leaves are falling.

bbe@Isaiah:33:10 @Now will I come forward, says the Lord; now will I be lifted up; now will my power be seen.

bbe@Isaiah:33:15 @He whose ways are true, and whose words are upright; he who gives no thought to the profits of false acts, whose hands have not taken rewards, who will have no part in putting men to death, and whose eyes are shut against evil;

bbe@Isaiah:33:18 @Your heart will give thought to the cause of your fear: where is the scribe, where is he who made a record of the payments, where is he by whom the towers were numbered?

bbe@Isaiah:33:23 @Your cords have become loose; they were not able to make strong the support of their sails, the sail was not stretched out: then the blind will take much property, the feeble-footed will make division of the goods of war.

bbe@Isaiah:33:24 @And the men of Zion will not say, I am ill: for its people will have forgiveness for their sin.

bbe@Isaiah:34:1 @Come near, you nations, and give ear; take note, you peoples: let the earth and everything in it give ear; the world and all those living in it.

bbe@Isaiah:34:3 @Their dead bodies will be thick on the face of the earth, and their smell will come up, and the mountains will be flowing with their blood, and all the hills will come to nothing.

bbe@Isaiah:34:5 @For my sword in heaven is full of wrath: see, it is coming down on Edom, in punishment on the people of my curse.

bbe@Isaiah:34:6 @The sword of the Lord is full of blood, it is fat with the best of the meat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the best parts of the sheep: for the Lord has a feast in Bozrah, and much cattle will be put to death in the land of Edom.

bbe@Isaiah:34:8 @For it is the day of the Lord's punishment, when he gives payment for the wrongs done to Zion.

bbe@Isaiah:34:11 @But the birds of the waste land will have their place there; it will be a heritage for the bittern and the raven: and it will be measured out with line and weight as a waste land.

bbe@Isaiah:34:12 @The jackals will be there, and her great ones will be gone; they will say, There is no longer a kingdom there, and all her chiefs will have come to an end.

bbe@Isaiah:34:13 @And thorns will come up in her fair houses, and waste plants in her strong towers: and foxes will make their holes there, and it will be a meeting-place for ostriches.

bbe@Isaiah:34:14 @And the beasts of the waste places will come together with the jackals, and the evil spirits will be crying to one another, even the night-spirit will come and make her resting-place there.

bbe@Isaiah:34:15 @The arrowsnake will make her hole and put her eggs there, and get her young together under her shade: there the hawks will come together by twos.

bbe@Isaiah:34:16 @See what is recorded in the book of the Lord: all these will be there, not one without the other: the mouth of the Lord has given the order, and his spirit has made them come together.

bbe@Isaiah:34:17 @And he has given them their heritage, and by his hand it has been measured out to them: it will be theirs for ever, their resting-place from generation to generation.

bbe@Isaiah:35:2 @It will be flowering like the rose; it will be full of delight and songs; the glory of Lebanon will be given to it; the pride of Carmel and Sharon: they will see the glory of the Lord, the power of our God.

bbe@Isaiah:35:4 @Say to those who are full of fear, Be strong and take heart: see, your God will give punishment; the reward of God will come; he himself will come to be your saviour.

bbe@Isaiah:35:7 @And the burning sand will become a pool, and the dry earth springs of waters: the fields where the sheep take their food will become wet land, and water-plants will take the place of grass.

bbe@Isaiah:35:8 @And a highway will be there; its name will be, The Holy Way; the unclean and the sinner may not go over it, and those who go on it will not be turned out of the way by the foolish.

bbe@Isaiah:35:10 @Even those whom he has made free, will come back again; they will come with songs to Zion; on their heads will be eternal joy; delight and joy will be theirs, and sorrow and sounds of grief will be gone for ever.

bbe@Isaiah:36:1 @And it came about in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah that Sennacherib, king of Assyria, came up against all the walled towns of Judah and took them.

bbe@Isaiah:36:3 @And there came out to him Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder.

bbe@Isaiah:36:7 @And if you say to me, Our hope is in the Lord our God; is it not he whose high places and altars Hezekiah has taken away, saying to Judah and Jerusalem that worship may only be given before this altar?

bbe@Isaiah:36:8 @And now, take a chance with my master, the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able to put horsemen on them.

bbe@Isaiah:36:9 @How then may you put to shame the least of my master's servants? and you have put your hope in Egypt for war-carriages and horsemen:

bbe@Isaiah:36:10 @And have I now come to send destruction on this land without the Lord's authority? It was the Lord himself who said to me, Go up against this land and make it waste.

bbe@Isaiah:36:12 @But the Rab-shakeh said, Is it to your master or to you that my master has sent me to say these words? has he not sent me to the men seated on the wall? for they are the people who will be short of food with you when the town is shut in.

bbe@Isaiah:36:16 @Do not give ear to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says, Make peace with me, and come out to me; and everyone will be free to take the fruit of his vine and of his fig-tree, and the water of his spring;

bbe@Isaiah:36:17 @Till I come and take you away to a land like yours, a land of grain and wine, a land of bread and vine-gardens.

bbe@Isaiah:36:22 @Then Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah, who was over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah, the son of Asaph, the recorder, came to Hezekiah with their clothing parted as a sign of grief, and gave him an account of what the Rab-shakeh had said.

bbe@Isaiah:37:3 @And they said to him, Hezekiah says, This day is a day of trouble and punishment and shame: for the children are ready to come to birth, but there is no strength to give birth to them.

bbe@Isaiah:37:4 @It may be that the Lord your God will give ear to the words of the Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria, his master, has sent to say evil things against the living God, and will make his words come to nothing: so make your prayer for the rest of the people.

bbe@Isaiah:37:5 @So the servants of King Hezekiah came to Isaiah.

bbe@Isaiah:37:6 @And Isaiah said to them, This is what you are to say to your master: The Lord says, Be not troubled by the words which the servants of the king of Assyria have said against me in your hearing.

bbe@Isaiah:37:7 @See, I will put a spirit into him, and bad news will come to his ears, and he will go back to his land; and there I will have him put to death.

bbe@Isaiah:37:8 @So the Rab-shakeh went back, and when he got there the king of Assyria was making war against Libnah: for it had come to his ears that the king of Assyria had gone away from Lachish.

bbe@Isaiah:37:9 @And when news came to him that Tirhakah, king of Ethiopia, had made an attack on him,... And he sent representatives to Hezekiah, king of Judah, saying,

bbe@Isaiah:37:11 @No doubt the story has come to your ears of what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands, putting them to the curse: and will you be kept safe from their fate?

bbe@Isaiah:37:14 @And Hezekiah took the letter from the hands of those who had come with it; and after reading it, Hezekiah went up to the house of the Lord, opening the letter there before the Lord,

bbe@Isaiah:37:17 @Let your ear be turned to us, O Lord; let your eyes be open, O Lord, and see: take note of all the words of Sennacherib who has sent men to say evil against the living God.

bbe@Isaiah:37:19 @And have given their gods to the fire: for they were no gods, but wood and stone, the work of men's hands; so they have given them to destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:37:21 @Then Isaiah, the son of Amoz, sent to Hezekiah, saying, The Lord, the God of Israel, says, The prayer you have made to me against Sennacherib, king of Assyria, has come to my ears.

bbe@Isaiah:37:22 @This is the word which the Lord has said about him: In the eyes of the virgin daughter of Zion you are shamed and laughed at; the daughter of Jerusalem has made sport of you.

bbe@Isaiah:37:24 @You have sent your servants with evil words against the Lord, and have said, With all my war-carriages I have come up to the top of the mountains, to the inmost parts of Lebanon; and its tall cedars will be cut down, and the best trees of its woods: I will come up into his highest places, into his thick woods.

bbe@Isaiah:37:26 @Has it not come to your ears how I did it long before, purposing it in times long past? Now I have given effect to my design, so that by you strong towns might be turned into masses of broken walls.

bbe@Isaiah:37:27 @This is why their townsmen had no power, they were broken and put to shame; they were like the grass of the field, or a green plant; like the grass on the house-tops, which a cold wind makes waste.

bbe@Isaiah:37:29 @Because your wrath against me and your pride have come to my ears, I will put my hook in your nose and my cord in your lips, and I will make you go back by the way you came.

bbe@Isaiah:37:30 @And this will be the sign to you: you will get your food this year from what comes up of itself, and in the second year from the produce of the same; and in the third year you will put in your seed, and get in the grain, and make vine-gardens, and take of their fruit.

bbe@Isaiah:37:33 @For this cause the Lord says about the king of Assyria, He will not come into this town, or send an arrow against it; he will not come before it with arms, or put up an earthwork against it.

bbe@Isaiah:37:34 @By the way he came he will go back, and he will not get into this town.

bbe@Isaiah:37:36 @And the angel of the Lord went out and put to death in the army of the Assyrians a hundred and eighty-five thousand men: and when the people got up early in the morning, there was nothing to be seen but dead bodies.

bbe@Isaiah:37:38 @And it came about, when he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that his sons Adrammelech and Sharezer put him to death with the sword, and they went in flight into the land of Ararat. And Esar-haddon, his son, became king in his place.

bbe@Isaiah:38:1 @In those days Hezekiah was ill and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, The Lord says, Put your house in order; for your death is near.

bbe@Isaiah:38:4 @Then the word of the Lord came to Isaiah, saying,

bbe@Isaiah:38:5 @Go to Hezekiah, and say, The Lord, the God of David, your father, says, Your prayer has come to my ears, and I have seen your weeping: see, I will give you fifteen more years of life.

bbe@Isaiah:38:10 @I said, In the quiet of my days I am going down into the underworld: the rest of my years are being taken away from me.

bbe@Isaiah:38:12 @My resting-place is pulled up and taken away from me like a herdsman's tent: my life is rolled up like a linen-worker's thread; I am cut off from the cloth on the frame: from day even to night you give me up to pain.

bbe@Isaiah:38:15 @What am I to say? seeing that it is he who has done it: all my time of sleeping I am turning from side to side without rest.

bbe@Isaiah:38:16 @O Lord, for this cause I am waiting for you, give rest to my spirit: make me well again, and let me come back to life.

bbe@Isaiah:38:17 @See, in place of peace my soul had bitter sorrow. but you have kept back my soul from the underworld; for you have put all my sins out of your memory.

bbe@Isaiah:38:18 @For the underworld is not able to give you praise, death gives you no honour: for those who go down into the underworld there is no hope in your mercy.

bbe@Isaiah:38:19 @The living, the living man, he will give you praise, as I do this day: the father will give the story of your mercy to his children.

bbe@Isaiah:38:20 @O Lord, quickly be my saviour; so we will make my songs to corded instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:39:1 @At that time Merodach-baladan, the son of Baladan, king of Babylon, sent letters with an offering to Hezekiah, because he had news that Hezekiah had been ill, and was well again.

bbe@Isaiah:39:3 @Then Isaiah the prophet came to King Hezekiah, and said to him, What did these men say, and where did they come from? And Hezekiah said, They came from a far country, even from Babylon.

bbe@Isaiah:40:2 @Say kind words to the heart of Jerusalem, crying out to her that her time of trouble is ended, that her punishment is complete; that she has been rewarded by the Lord's hand twice over for all her sins.

bbe@Isaiah:40:4 @Let every valley be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low, and let the rough places become level, and the hilltops become a valley,

bbe@Isaiah:40:7 @The grass becomes dry, the flower is dead; because the breath of the Lord goes over it: truly the people is grass.

bbe@Isaiah:40:10 @See, the Lord God will come as a strong one, ruling in power: see, those made free by him are with him, and those whom he has made safe go before him.

bbe@Isaiah:40:12 @In the hollow of whose hand have the waters been measured? and who is able to take the heavens in his stretched-out fingers? who has got together the dust of the earth in a measure? who has taken the weight of the mountains, or put the hills into the scales?

bbe@Isaiah:40:20 @The wise workman makes selection of the mulberry-tree of the offering, a wood which will not become soft; so that the image may be fixed to it and not be moved.

bbe@Isaiah:40:21 @Have you no knowledge of it? has it not come to your ears? has not news of it been given to you from the first? has it not been clear to you from the time when the earth was placed on its base?

bbe@Isaiah:40:23 @He makes rulers come to nothing; the judges of the earth are of no value.

bbe@Isaiah:40:24 @They have only now been planted, and their seed put into the earth, and they have only now taken root, when he sends out his breath over them and they become dry, and the storm-wind takes them away like dry grass.

bbe@Isaiah:40:26 @Let your eyes be lifted up on high, and see: who has made these? He who sends out their numbered army: who has knowledge of all their names: by whose great strength, because he is strong in power, all of them are in their places.

bbe@Isaiah:40:28 @Have you no knowledge of it? has it not come to your ears? The eternal God, the Lord, the Maker of the ends of the earth, is never feeble or tired; there is no searching out of his wisdom.

bbe@Isaiah:41:5 @The sea-lands saw it, and were in fear; the ends of the earth were shaking: they came near.

bbe@Isaiah:41:7 @So the metal-worker put heart into the gold-worker, and he who was hammering the metal smooth said kind words to the iron-worker, saying of the plate, It is ready: and he put it together with nails, so that there might be no slipping.

bbe@Isaiah:41:11 @Truly, all those who are angry with you will be made low and put to shame: those desiring to do you wrong will come to nothing and never again be seen.

bbe@Isaiah:41:12 @You will make search for your haters but they will not be there; those who make war against you will be as nothing and will come to destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:41:14 @Have no fear, you worm Jacob, and you men of Israel; I will be your helper, says the Lord, even he who takes up your cause, the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:41:15 @See, I will make you like a new grain-crushing instrument with teeth, crushing the mountains small, and making the hills like dry stems.

bbe@Isaiah:41:21 @Put forward your cause, says the Lord; let your strong argument come out, says the King of Jacob.

bbe@Isaiah:41:22 @Let the future be made clear to us: give us news of the past things, so that we may give thought to them; or of the things to come, so that we may see if they are true.

bbe@Isaiah:41:25 @I have sent for one from the north, and from the dawn he has come; in my name he will get rulers together and go against them; they will be like dust, even as the wet earth is stamped on by the feet of the potter.

bbe@Isaiah:41:29 @Truly they are all nothing, their works are nothing and of no value: their metal images are of no more use than wind.

bbe@Isaiah:42:2 @He will make no cry, his voice will not be loud: his words will not come to men's ears in the streets.

bbe@Isaiah:42:5 @God the Lord, even he who made the heavens, measuring them out on high; stretching out the earth, and giving its produce; he who gives breath to the people on it, and life to those who go about on it, says:

bbe@Isaiah:42:6 @I the Lord have made you the vessel of my purpose, I have taken you by the hand, and kept you safe, and I have given you to be an agreement to the people, and a light to the nations:

bbe@Isaiah:42:8 @I am the Lord; that is my name: I will not give my glory to another, or my praise to pictured images.

bbe@Isaiah:42:9 @See, the things said before have come about, and now I give word of new things: before they come I give you news of them.

bbe@Isaiah:42:17 @They will be turned back and be greatly shamed who put their hope in pictured images, who say to metal images, You are our gods.

bbe@Isaiah:42:23 @Who is there among you who will give ear to this? who will give attention to it for the time to come?

bbe@Isaiah:42:25 @For this reason he let loose on him the heat of his wrath, and his strength was like a flame; and it put fire round about him, but he did not see it; he was burned, but did not take it to heart.

bbe@Isaiah:43:1 @But now, says the Lord your Maker, O Jacob, and your life-giver, O Israel: have no fear, for I have taken up your cause; naming you by your name, I have made you mine.

bbe@Isaiah:43:2 @When you go through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they will not go over you: when you go through the fire, you will not be burned; and the flame will have no power over you.

bbe@Isaiah:43:4 @Because of your value in my eyes, you have been honoured, and loved by me; so I will give men for you, and peoples for your life.

bbe@Isaiah:43:7 @Every one who is named by my name, and whom I have made for my glory, who has been formed and designed by me.

bbe@Isaiah:43:9 @Let all the nations come together, and let the peoples be present: who among them is able to make this clear, and give us word of earlier things? let their witnesses come forward, so that they may be seen to be true, and that they may give ear, and say, It is true.

bbe@Isaiah:43:10 @You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and my servant whom I have taken for myself: so that you may see and have faith in me, and that it may be clear to you that I am he; before me there was no God formed, and there will not be after me.

bbe@Isaiah:43:11 @I, even I, am the Lord; and there is no saviour but me.

bbe@Isaiah:43:13 @From time long past I am God, and from this day I am he: there is no one who is able to take you out of my hand: when I undertake a thing, by whom will my purpose be changed?

bbe@Isaiah:43:14 @The Lord, who has taken up your cause, the Holy One of Israel, says, Because of you I have sent to Babylon, and made all their seers come south, and the Chaldaeans whose cry is in the ships.

bbe@Isaiah:43:17 @Who sends out the war-carriages and the horses, the army with all its force; they have come down, they will not get up again; like a feebly burning light they are put out.

bbe@Isaiah:43:18 @Give no thought to the things which are past; let the early times go out of your minds.

bbe@Isaiah:43:20 @The beasts of the field will give me honour, the jackals and the ostriches: because I send out waters in the waste land, and rivers in the dry country, to give drink to the people whom I have taken for myself:

bbe@Isaiah:43:22 @But you have made no prayer to me, O Jacob: and you have given no thought to me, O Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:43:23 @You have not made me burned offerings of sheep, or given me honour with your offerings of beasts; I did not make you servants to give me an offering, and I did not make you tired with requests for perfumes.

bbe@Isaiah:43:24 @You have not got me sweet-smelling plants with your money, or given me pleasure with the fat of your offerings: but you have made me a servant to your sins, and you have made me tired with your evil doings.

bbe@Isaiah:43:26 @Put me in mind of this; let us take up the cause between us: put forward your cause, so that you may be seen to be in the right.

bbe@Isaiah:43:28 @Your chiefs have made my holy place unclean, so I have made Jacob a curse, and Israel a thing of shame.

bbe@Isaiah:44:3 @For I will send water on the land needing it, and streams on the dry earth: I will let my spirit come down on your seed, and my blessing on your offspring.

bbe@Isaiah:44:4 @And they will come up like grass in a well-watered field, like water-plants by the streams.

bbe@Isaiah:44:5 @One will say, I am the Lord's; and another will give himself the name, Jacob; another will put a mark on his hand, I am the Lord's, and another will take the name of Israel for himself.

bbe@Isaiah:44:6 @The Lord, the King of Israel, even the Lord of armies who has taken up his cause, says, I am the first and the last, and there is no God but me.

bbe@Isaiah:44:7 @If there is one like me, let him come forward and say it, let him make it clear and put it in order before me: who has made clear in the past the things to come? let him make clear the future to me.

bbe@Isaiah:44:8 @Have no fear, be strong in heart; have I not made it clear to you in the past, and let you see it? and you are my witnesses. Is there any God but me, or a Rock of whom I have no knowledge?

bbe@Isaiah:44:9 @Those who make a pictured image are all of them as nothing, and the things of their desire will be of no profit to them: and their servants see not, and have no knowledge; so they will be put to shame.

bbe@Isaiah:44:10 @Whoever makes a god, makes nothing but a metal image in which there is no profit.

bbe@Isaiah:44:11 @Truly, all those who make use of secret arts will be put to shame, and their words of power are only words of men: let them all come forward together; they will all be in fear and be put to shame.

bbe@Isaiah:44:12 @The iron-worker is heating the metal in the fire, giving it form with his hammers, and working on it with his strong arm: then for need of food his strength gives way, and for need of water he becomes feeble.

bbe@Isaiah:44:13 @The woodworker is measuring out the wood with his line, marking it out with his pencil: after smoothing it with his plane, and making circles on it with his instrument, he gives it the form and glory of a man, so that it may be placed in the house.

bbe@Isaiah:44:16 @With part of it he makes a fire, and on the fire he gets meat cooked and takes a full meal: he makes himself warm, and says, Aha! I am warm, I have seen the fire:

bbe@Isaiah:44:19 @And no one takes note, no one has enough knowledge or wisdom to say, I have put part of it in the fire, and made bread on it; I have had a meal of the flesh cooked with it: and am I now to make the rest of it into a false god? am I to go down on my face before a bit of wood?

bbe@Isaiah:44:21 @Keep these things in mind, O Jacob; and you Israel, for you are my servant: I have made you; you are my servant; O Israel, I will not let you go out of my memory.

bbe@Isaiah:44:22 @I have put your evil doings out of my mind like a thick cloud, and your sins like a mist: come back to me; for I have taken up your cause.

bbe@Isaiah:44:24 @The Lord, who has taken up your cause, and who gave you life in your mother's body, says, I am the Lord who makes all things; stretching out the heavens by myself, and giving the earth its limits; who was with me?

bbe@Isaiah:44:25 @Who makes the signs of those who give word of the future come to nothing, so that those who have knowledge of secret arts go off their heads; turning the wise men back, and making their knowledge foolish:

bbe@Isaiah:44:26 @Who makes the word of his servants certain, and gives effect to the purposes of his representatives; who says of Jerusalem, Her people will come back to her; and of the towns of Judah, I will give orders for their building, and will make her waste places fertile again:

bbe@Isaiah:45:3 @And I will give you the stores of the dark, and the wealth of secret places, so that you may be certain that I am the Lord, who gave you your name, even the God of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:45:4 @Because of Jacob my servant, and Israel whom I have taken for myself, I have sent for you by name, giving you a name of honour, though you had no knowledge of me.

bbe@Isaiah:45:5 @I am the Lord, and there is no other; there is no God but me: I will make you ready for war, though you had no knowledge of me:

bbe@Isaiah:45:6 @So that they may see from the east and from the west that there is no God but me: I am the Lord, and there is no other.

bbe@Isaiah:45:8 @Let righteousness come down, O heavens, from on high, and let the sky send it down like rain: let the earth be open to give the fruit of salvation, causing righteousness to come up with it; I the Lord have made it come about.

bbe@Isaiah:45:9 @Cursed is he who has an argument with his Maker, the pot which has an argument with the Potter! Will the wet earth say to him who is working with it, What are you doing, that your work has nothing by which it may be gripped?

bbe@Isaiah:45:11 @The Lord, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, says, Will you put a question to me about the things which are to come, or will you give me orders about my sons, and the work of my hands?

bbe@Isaiah:45:13 @I have sent him out to overcome the nations, and I will make all his ways straight: I will give him the work of building my town, and he will let my prisoners go free, without price or reward, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Isaiah:45:14 @The Lord says, The workmen of Egypt, and the traders of Ethiopia, and the tall Sabaeans, will come over the sea to you, and they will be yours; they will go after you; in chains they will come over: and they will go down on their faces before you, and will make prayer to you, saying, Truly, God is among you; and there is no other God.

bbe@Isaiah:45:16 @All those who have gone against him will be put to shame; the makers of images will be made low.

bbe@Isaiah:45:17 @But the Lord will make Israel free with an eternal salvation: you will not be put to shame or made low for ever and ever.

bbe@Isaiah:45:19 @I have not given my word in secret, in a place in the underworld; I did not say to the seed of Jacob, Go into a waste land to make request of me: I the Lord say what is true, my word is righteousness.

bbe@Isaiah:45:20 @Come together, even come near, you nations who are still living: they have no knowledge who take up their image of wood, and make prayer to a god in whom is no salvation.

bbe@Isaiah:45:21 @Give the word, put forward your cause, let us have a discussion together: who has given news of this in the past? who made it clear in early times? did not I, the Lord? and there is no God but me; a true God and a saviour; there is no other.

bbe@Isaiah:45:22 @Let your hearts be turned to me, so that you may have salvation, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is no other.

bbe@Isaiah:45:23 @By myself have I taken an oath, a true word has gone from my mouth, and will not be changed, that to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give honour.

bbe@Isaiah:45:24 @Only in the Lord will Jacob overcome and be strong: together all those who were angry with him will be put to shame and come to destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:46:1 @Bel is bent down, Nebo is falling; their images are on the beasts and on the cattle: the things which you took about have become a weight to the tired beast.

bbe@Isaiah:46:3 @Give ear to me, O family of Jacob, and all the rest of the people of Israel, who have been supported by me from their birth, and have been my care from their earliest days:

bbe@Isaiah:46:4 @Even when you are old I will be the same, and when you are grey-haired I will take care of you: I will still be responsible for what I made; yes, I will take you and keep you safe.

bbe@Isaiah:46:5 @Who in your eyes is my equal? or what comparison will you make with me?

bbe@Isaiah:46:6 @As for those who take gold out of a bag, and put silver in the scales, they give payment to a gold-worker, to make it into a god; they go down on their faces and give it worship.

bbe@Isaiah:46:8 @Keep this in mind and be shamed; let it come back to your memory, you sinners.

bbe@Isaiah:46:9 @Let the things which are past come to your memory: for I am God, and there is no other; I am God, and there is no one like me;

bbe@Isaiah:46:10 @Making clear from the first what is to come, and from past times the things which have not so far come about; saying, My purpose is fixed, and I will do all my pleasure;

bbe@Isaiah:46:11 @Sending for a bird of strong flight from the east, the man of my purpose from a far country; I have said it, and I will give effect to it; the thing designed by me will certainly be done.

bbe@Isaiah:46:12 @Give ear to me, you feeble-hearted, who have no faith in my righteousness:

bbe@Isaiah:46:13 @My righteousness is near, it is not far off; salvation will come quickly; and I will make Zion free, and give Israel my glory.

bbe@Isaiah:47:1 @Come and take your seat in the dust, O virgin daughter of Babylon; come down from your seat of power, and take your place on the earth, O daughter of the Chaldaeans: for you will never again seem soft and delicate.

bbe@Isaiah:47:2 @Take the crushing-stones and get the meal crushed: take off your veil, put away your robe, let your legs be uncovered, go through the rivers.

bbe@Isaiah:47:3 @The shame of your unclothed condition will be seen by all: I will give punishment without mercy,

bbe@Isaiah:47:4 @Says the Lord who takes up our cause; the Lord of armies is his name, the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:47:5 @Be seated in the dark without a word, O daughter of the Chaldaeans: for you will no longer be named, The Queen of Kingdoms.

bbe@Isaiah:47:6 @I was angry with my people, I put shame on my heritage, and gave them into your hands: you had no mercy on them; you put a cruel yoke on those who were old;

bbe@Isaiah:47:7 @And you said, I will be a queen for ever: you did not give attention to these things, and did not keep in mind what would come after.

bbe@Isaiah:47:8 @So now take note of this, you who are given up to pleasure, living without fear of evil, saying in your heart, I am, and there is no one like me; I will never be a widow, or have my children taken from me.

bbe@Isaiah:47:9 @But these two things will come on you suddenly in one day, the loss of children and of husband: in full measure they will come on you, for all your secret arts, and all your wonders.

bbe@Isaiah:47:10 @For you had faith in your evil-doing; you said, No one sees me; by your wisdom and knowledge you have been turned out of the way: and you have said in your heart, I am, and there is no other.

bbe@Isaiah:47:11 @Because of this evil will come on you, which may not be turned away for any price: and trouble will overtake you, from which no money will give salvation: destruction will come on you suddenly, without your knowledge.

bbe@Isaiah:47:13 @But your mind is troubled by the number of your guides: let them now come forward for your salvation: the measurers of the heavens, the watchers of the stars, and those who are able to say from month to month what things are coming on you.

bbe@Isaiah:47:14 @Truly, they have become like dry stems, they have been burned in the fire; they are not able to keep themselves safe from the power of the flame: it is not a coal for warming them, or a fire by which a man may be seated.

bbe@Isaiah:48:1 @Give ear to this, O family of Jacob, you who are named by the name of Israel, and have come out of the body of Judah; who take oaths by the name of the Lord, and make use of the name of the God of Israel, but not truly and not in good faith.

bbe@Isaiah:48:2 @For they say that they are of the holy town, and put their faith in the God of Israel: the Lord of armies is his name.

bbe@Isaiah:48:3 @I gave word in the past of the things which came about; they came from my mouth, and I made them clear: suddenly I did them, and they came about.

bbe@Isaiah:48:5 @For this reason I made it clear to you in the past, before it came I gave you word of it: for fear that you might say, My god did these things, and my pictured and metal images made them come about.

bbe@Isaiah:48:6 @All this has come to your ears and you have seen it; will you not give witness to it? I am now making clear new things, even secret things, of which you had no knowledge.

bbe@Isaiah:48:7 @They have only now been effected, and not in the past: and before this day they had not come to your ears; for fear that you might say, I had knowledge of them.

bbe@Isaiah:48:8 @Truly you had no word of them, no knowledge of them; no news of them in the past had come to your ears; because I saw how false was your behaviour, and that your heart was turned against me from your earliest days.

bbe@Isaiah:48:9 @Because of my name I will put away my wrath, and for my praise I will keep myself from cutting you off.

bbe@Isaiah:48:11 @For myself, even because of my name, I will do it; for I will not let my name be shamed; and my glory I will not give to another.

bbe@Isaiah:48:12 @Give ear to me, Jacob, and Israel, my loved one; I am he, I am the first and I am the last.

bbe@Isaiah:48:14 @Come together, all of you, and give ear; who among you has given news of these things? the Lord's loved one will do his pleasure with Babylon, and with the seed of the Chaldaeans.

bbe@Isaiah:48:15 @I, even I, have given the word; I have sent for him: I have made him come, and have given effect to his undertakings.

bbe@Isaiah:48:16 @Come near to me, and give ear to this; from the start I did not keep it secret; from the time of its coming into existence I was there: and now the Lord God has sent me, and given me his spirit.

bbe@Isaiah:48:19 @Your seed would have been like the sand, and your offspring like the dust: your name would not be cut off or come to an end before me.

bbe@Isaiah:48:21 @They had no need of water when he was guiding them through the waste lands: he made water come out of the rock for them: the rock was parted and the waters came flowing out.

bbe@Isaiah:49:1 @Give ear, O sea-lands, to me; and take note, you peoples from far: I have been marked out by the Lord from the first; when I was still in my mother's body, he had my name in mind:

bbe@Isaiah:49:2 @And he has made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shade of his hand he has kept me; and he has made me like a polished arrow, keeping me in his secret place;

bbe@Isaiah:49:3 @And he said to me, You are my servant, Israel, in whom my glory will be seen;

bbe@Isaiah:49:4 @And I said, I have undergone weariness for nothing, I have given my strength for no purpose or profit: but still the Lord will take up my cause, and my God will give me my reward.

bbe@Isaiah:49:5 @And now, says the Lord, who made me his servant when I was still in my mother's body, so that I might make Jacob come back to him, and so that Israel might come together to him: and I was honoured in the eyes of the Lord, and my God became my strength.

bbe@Isaiah:49:7 @The Lord who takes up Israel's cause, even his Holy One, says to him whom men make sport of, who is hated by the nations, a servant of rulers: Kings will see and get up from their places, and chiefs will give worship: because of the Lord who keeps faith; even the Holy One of Israel who has taken you for himself.

bbe@Isaiah:49:8 @This is the word of the Lord: I have given ear to you at a good time, and I have been your helper in a day of salvation: and I will keep you safe, and will make you a glory for the people, putting the land in order, and giving them the heritages which now are waste;

bbe@Isaiah:49:9 @Saying to those who are in chains, Go free; to those who are in the dark, Come out into the light. They will get food by the way wherever they go, and have grass-lands on all the dry mountain-tops.

bbe@Isaiah:49:10 @They will not be in need of food or drink, or be troubled by the heat or the sun: for he who has mercy on them will be their guide, taking them by the springs of water.

bbe@Isaiah:49:13 @Let your voice be loud in song, O heavens; and be glad, O earth; make sounds of joy, O mountains, for the Lord has given comfort to his people, and will have mercy on his crushed ones.

bbe@Isaiah:49:14 @But Zion said, The Lord has given me up, I have gone from his memory.

bbe@Isaiah:49:15 @Will a woman give up the child at her breast, will she be without pity for the fruit of her body? yes, these may, but I will not let you go out of my memory.

bbe@Isaiah:49:16 @See, your name is marked on my hands; your walls are ever before me.

bbe@Isaiah:49:18 @Let your eyes be lifted up round about, and see: they are all coming together to you. By my life, says the Lord, truly you will put them all on you as an ornament, and be clothed with them like a bride.

bbe@Isaiah:49:20 @The children to whom you gave birth in other lands will say in your ears, The place is not wide enough for me: make room for me to have a resting-place.

bbe@Isaiah:49:21 @Then you will say in your heart, Who has given me all these children? when my children had been taken from me, and I was no longer able to have others, who took care of these? when I was by myself, where then were these?

bbe@Isaiah:49:23 @And kings will take care of you, and queens will give you their milk: they will go down on their faces before you, kissing the dust of your feet; and you will be certain that I am the Lord, and that those who put their hope in me will not be shamed.

bbe@Isaiah:49:26 @And the flesh of your attackers will be taken by themselves for food; and they will take their blood for drink, as if it was sweet wine: and all men will see that I the Lord am your saviour, even he who takes up your cause, the Strong One of Jacob.

bbe@Isaiah:50:1 @This is the word of the Lord: Where is the statement which I gave your mother when I put her away? or to which of my creditors have I given you for money? It was for your sins that you were given into the hands of others, and for your evil-doing was your mother put away.

bbe@Isaiah:50:2 @Why, then, when I came, was there no man? and no one to give answer to my voice? has my hand become feeble, so that it is unable to take up your cause? or have I no power to make you free? See, at my word the sea becomes dry, I make the rivers a waste land: their fish are dead for need of water, and make an evil smell.

bbe@Isaiah:50:3 @By me the heavens are clothed with black, and I make haircloth their robe.

bbe@Isaiah:50:4 @The Lord God has given me the tongue of those who are experienced, so that I may be able to give the word a special sense for the feeble: every morning my ear is open to his teaching, like those who are experienced:

bbe@Isaiah:50:6 @I was offering my back to those who gave me blows, and my face to those who were pulling out my hair: I did not keep my face covered from marks of shame.

bbe@Isaiah:50:7 @For the Lord God is my helper; I will not be put to shame: so I have made my face like a rock, and I am certain that he will give me my right.

bbe@Isaiah:50:8 @He who takes up my cause is near; who will go to law with me? let us come together before the judge: who is against me? let him come near to me.

bbe@Isaiah:50:9 @See, the Lord God is my helper; who will give a decision against me? truly, all of them will become old like a robe; they will be food for the worm.

bbe@Isaiah:50:10 @Who among you has the fear of the Lord, giving ear to the voice of his servant who has been walking in the dark and has no light? Let him put his faith in the name of the Lord, looking to his God for support.

bbe@Isaiah:50:11 @See, all you who make a fire, arming yourselves with burning branches: go in the flame of your fire, and among the branches you have put a light to. This will you have from my hand, you will make your bed in sorrow.

bbe@Isaiah:51:1 @Give ear to me, you who are searching for righteousness, who are looking for the Lord: see the rock from which you were cut out, and the hole out of which you were taken.

bbe@Isaiah:51:2 @Let your thoughts be turned to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth: for when he was but one, my voice came to him, and I gave him my blessing, and made him a great people.

bbe@Isaiah:51:3 @For the Lord has given comfort to Zion: he has made glad all her broken walls; making her waste places like Eden, and changing her dry land into the garden of the Lord; joy and delight will be there, praise and the sound of melody.

bbe@Isaiah:51:4 @Give attention to me, O my people; and give ear to me, O my nation; for teaching will go out from me, and the knowledge of the true God will be a light to the peoples.

bbe@Isaiah:51:5 @Suddenly will my righteousness come near, and my salvation will be shining out like the light; the sea-lands will be waiting for me, and they will put their hope in my strong arm.

bbe@Isaiah:51:6 @Let your eyes be lifted up to the heavens, and turned to the earth which is under them: for the heavens will go in flight like smoke, and the earth will become old like a coat, and its people will come to destruction like insects: but my salvation will be for ever, and my righteousness will not come to an end.

bbe@Isaiah:51:7 @Give ear to me, you who have knowledge of righteousness, in whose heart is my law; have no fear of the evil words of men, and give no thought to their curses.

bbe@Isaiah:51:8 @For like a coat they will be food for the insect, the worm will make a meal of them like wool: but my righteousness will be for ever, and my salvation to all generations.

bbe@Isaiah:51:11 @Those whom the Lord has made free will come back with songs to Zion; and on their heads will be eternal joy: delight and joy will be theirs, and sorrow and sounds of grief will be gone for ever.

bbe@Isaiah:51:12 @I, even I, am your comforter: are you so poor in heart as to be in fear of man who will come to an end, and of the son of man who will be like grass?

bbe@Isaiah:51:14 @The prisoner, bent under his chain, will quickly be made free, and will not go down into the underworld, and his bread will not come to an end.

bbe@Isaiah:51:15 @For I am the Lord your God, who makes the sea calm when its waves are thundering: the Lord of armies is his name.

bbe@Isaiah:51:17 @Awake! awake! up! O Jerusalem, you who have taken from the Lord's hand the cup of his wrath; tasting in full measure the wine which overcomes.

bbe@Isaiah:51:19 @These two things have come on you; who will be weeping for you? wasting and destruction; death from need of food, and from the sword; how may you be comforted?

bbe@Isaiah:51:20 @Your sons are overcome, like a roe in a net; they are full of the wrath of the Lord, the punishment of your God.

bbe@Isaiah:51:21 @So now give ear to this, you who are troubled and overcome, but not with wine:

bbe@Isaiah:51:22 @This is the word of the Lord your master, even your God who takes up the cause of his people: See, I have taken out of your hand the cup which overcomes, even the cup of my wrath; it will not again be given to you:

bbe@Isaiah:52:1 @Awake! awake! put on your strength, O Zion; put on your beautiful robes, O Jerusalem, the holy town: for from now there will never again come into you the unclean and those without circumcision.

bbe@Isaiah:52:5 @Now then, what have I here? says the Lord, for my people are taken away without cause; they are made waste and give cries of sorrow, says the Lord, and all the day the nations put shame on my name.

bbe@Isaiah:52:6 @For this cause I will make my name clear to my people; in that day they will be certain that it is my word which comes to them; see, here am I.

bbe@Isaiah:52:7 @How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who comes with good news, who gives word of peace, saying that salvation is near; who says to Zion, Your God is ruling!

bbe@Isaiah:52:8 @The voice of your watchmen! their voices are loud in song together; for they will see him, eye to eye, when the Lord comes back to Zion.

bbe@Isaiah:52:9 @Give sounds of joy, make melody together, waste places of Jerusalem: for the Lord has given comfort to his people, he has taken up the cause of Jerusalem.

bbe@Isaiah:52:12 @For you will not go out suddenly, and you will not go in flight: for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will come after you to keep you.

bbe@Isaiah:52:14 @As peoples were surprised at him, And his face was not beautiful, so as to be desired: his face was so changed by disease as to be unlike that of a man, and his form was no longer that of the sons of men.

bbe@Isaiah:52:15 @So will nations give him honour; kings will keep quiet because of him: for what had not been made clear to them they will see; and they will give their minds to what had not come to their ears.

bbe@Isaiah:53:1 @Who would have had faith in the word which has come to our ears, and to whom had the arm of the Lord been unveiled?

bbe@Isaiah:53:3 @Men made sport of him, turning away from him; he was a man of sorrows, marked by disease; and like one from whom men's faces are turned away, he was looked down on, and we put no value on him.

bbe@Isaiah:53:4 @But it was our pain he took, and our diseases were put on him: while to us he seemed as one diseased, on whom God's punishment had come.

bbe@Isaiah:53:5 @But it was for our sins he was wounded, and for our evil doings he was crushed: he took the punishment by which we have peace, and by his wounds we are made well.

bbe@Isaiah:53:6 @We all went wandering like sheep; going every one of us after his desire; and the Lord put on him the punishment of us all.

bbe@Isaiah:53:7 @Men were cruel to him, but he was gentle and quiet; as a lamb taken to its death, and as a sheep before those who take her wool makes no sound, so he said not a word.

bbe@Isaiah:53:8 @They took away from him help and right, and who gave a thought to his fate? for he was cut off from the land of the living: he came to his death for the sin of my people.

bbe@Isaiah:53:11 @... made clear his righteousness before men... had taken their sins on himself.

bbe@Isaiah:54:1 @Let your voice be loud in song, O woman without children; make melody and sounds of joy, you who did not give birth: for the children of her who had no husband are more than those of the married wife, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:54:4 @Have no fear; for you will not be shamed or without hope: you will not be put to shame, for the shame of your earlier days will go out of your memory, and you will no longer keep in mind the sorrows of your widowed years.

bbe@Isaiah:54:5 @For your Maker is your husband; the Lord of armies is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is he who takes up your cause; he will be named the God of all the earth.

bbe@Isaiah:54:6 @For the Lord has made you come back to him, like a wife who has been sent away in grief of spirit; for one may not give up the wife of one's early days.

bbe@Isaiah:54:7 @For a short time I gave you up; but with great mercies I will take you back again.

bbe@Isaiah:54:9 @For this is like the days of Noah to me: for as I took an oath that the waters of Noah would never again go over the earth, so have I taken an oath that I will not again be angry with you, or say bitter words to you.

bbe@Isaiah:54:10 @For the mountains may be taken away, and the hills be moved out of their places, but my love will not be taken from you, or my agreement of peace broken, says the Lord, who has had mercy on you.

bbe@Isaiah:54:11 @O troubled one, storm-crushed, uncomforted! see, your stones will be framed in fair colours, and your bases will be sapphires.

bbe@Isaiah:54:14 @All your rights will be made certain to you: have no fear of evil, and destruction will not come near you.

bbe@Isaiah:54:15 @See, they may be moved to war, but not by my authority: all those who come together to make an attack on you, will be broken against you.

bbe@Isaiah:54:16 @See, I have made the iron-worker, blowing on the burning coals, and making the instrument of war by his work; and I have made the waster for destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:54:17 @No instrument of war which is formed against you will be of any use; and every tongue which says evil against you will be judged false. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness comes from me, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:55:1 @Ho! everyone in need, come to the waters, and he who has no strength, let him get food: come, get bread without money; wine and milk without price.

bbe@Isaiah:55:2 @Why do you give your money for what is not bread, and the fruit of your work for what will not give you pleasure? Give ear to me, so that your food may be good, and you may have the best in full measure.

bbe@Isaiah:55:3 @Give ear, and come to me, take note with care, so that your souls may have life: and I will make an eternal agreement with you, even the certain mercies of David.

bbe@Isaiah:55:5 @See, you will send for a nation of which you had no knowledge, and those who had no knowledge of you will come running to you, because of the Lord your God, and because of the Holy One of Israel, for he has given you glory.

bbe@Isaiah:55:7 @Let the sinner give up his way, and the evil-doer his purpose: and let him come back to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him; and to our God, for there is full forgiveness with him.

bbe@Isaiah:55:10 @For as the rain comes down, and the snow from heaven, and does not go back again, but gives water to the earth, and makes it fertile, giving seed to the planter, and bread for food;

bbe@Isaiah:55:11 @So will my word be which goes out of my mouth: it will not come back to me with nothing done, but it will give effect to my purpose, and do that for which I have sent it.

bbe@Isaiah:55:12 @For you will go out with joy, and be guided in peace: the mountains and the hills will make melody before you, and all the trees of the fields will make sounds of joy.

bbe@Isaiah:55:13 @In place of the thorn will come up the fir-tree, and in place of the blackberry the myrtle: and it will be to the Lord for a name, for an eternal sign which will not be cut off.

bbe@Isaiah:56:3 @And let not the man from a strange country, who has been joined to the Lord, say, The Lord will certainly put a division between me and his people: and let not the unsexed man say, See, I am a dry tree.

bbe@Isaiah:56:4 @For the Lord says, As for the unsexed who keep my Sabbaths, and give their hearts to pleasing me, and keep their agreement with me:

bbe@Isaiah:56:5 @I will give to them in my house, and inside my walls, a place and a name better than that of sons and daughters; I will give them an eternal name which will not be cut off.

bbe@Isaiah:56:6 @And as for those from a strange country, who are joined to the Lord, to give worship to him and honour to his name, to be his servants, even everyone who keeps the Sabbath holy, and keeps his agreement with me:

bbe@Isaiah:56:7 @I will make them come to my holy mountain, and will give them joy in my house of prayer; I will take pleasure in the burned offerings which they make on my altar: for my house will be named a house of prayer for all peoples.

bbe@Isaiah:56:8 @The Lord God, who gets together the wandering ones of Israel, says, I will get together others in addition to those of Israel who have come back.

bbe@Isaiah:56:9 @All you beasts of the field, come together for your meat, even all you beasts of the wood.

bbe@Isaiah:56:10 @His watchmen are blind, they are all without knowledge; they are all dogs without tongues, unable to make a sound; stretched out dreaming, loving sleep.

bbe@Isaiah:56:11 @Yes, the dogs are for ever looking for food; while these, the keepers of the sheep, are without wisdom: they have all gone after their pleasure, every one looking for profit; they are all the same.

bbe@Isaiah:56:12 @Come, they say, I will get wine, and we will take strong drink in full measure; and tomorrow will be like today, full of pleasure.

bbe@Isaiah:57:1 @The upright man goes to his death, and no one gives a thought to it; and god-fearing men are taken away, and no one is troubled by it; for the upright man is taken away because of evil-doing, and goes into peace.

bbe@Isaiah:57:3 @But come near, you sons of her who is wise in secret arts, the seed of her who is false to her husband, and of the loose woman.

bbe@Isaiah:57:6 @Among the smooth stones of the valley is your heritage; they, even they, are your part: even to them have you made a drink offering and a meal offering. Is it possible for such things to be overlooked by me?

bbe@Isaiah:57:8 @And on the back of the doors and on the pillars you have put your sign: for you have been false to me with another; you have made your bed wide, and made an agreement with them; you had a desire for their bed where you saw it

bbe@Isaiah:57:9 @And you went to Melech with oil and much perfume, and you sent your representatives far off, and went as low as the underworld.

bbe@Isaiah:57:11 @And of whom were you in fear, so that you were false, and did not keep me in mind, or give thought to it? Have I not been quiet, keeping myself secret, and so you were not in fear of me?

bbe@Isaiah:57:13 @Your false gods will not keep you safe in answer to your cry; but the wind will take them, they will be gone like a breath: but he who puts his hope in me will take the land, and will have my holy mountain as his heritage.

bbe@Isaiah:57:15 @For this is the word of him who is high and lifted up, whose resting-place is eternal, whose name is Holy: my resting-place is in the high and holy place, and with him who is crushed and poor in spirit, to give life to the spirit of the poor, and to make strong the heart of the crushed.

bbe@Isaiah:57:16 @For I will not give punishment for ever, or be angry without end: for from me breath goes out; and I it was who made the souls.

bbe@Isaiah:57:17 @I was quickly angry with his evil ways, and sent punishment on him, veiling my face in wrath: and he went on, turning his heart from me.

bbe@Isaiah:58:2 @Though they make prayer to me every day, and take pleasure in the knowledge of my ways: like a nation which has done righteousness, and has not given up the rules of their God, they make requests to me for the right orders, it is their delight to come near to God.

bbe@Isaiah:58:4 @If keeping from food makes you quickly angry, ready for fighting and giving blows with evil hands; your holy days are not such as to make your voice come to my ears on high.

bbe@Isaiah:58:7 @Is it not to give your bread to those in need, and to let the poor who have no resting-place come into your house? to put a robe on the unclothed one when you see him, and not to keep your eyes shut for fear of seeing his flesh?

bbe@Isaiah:58:8 @Then will light be shining on you like the morning, and your wounds will quickly be well: and your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will come after you.

bbe@Isaiah:58:9 @Then at the sound of your voice, the Lord will give an answer; at your cry he will say, Here am I. If you take away from among you the yoke, the putting out of the finger of shame, and the evil word;

bbe@Isaiah:58:11 @And the Lord will be your guide at all times; in dry places he will give you water in full measure, and will make strong your bones; and you will be like a watered garden, and like an ever-flowing spring.

bbe@Isaiah:58:12 @And your sons will be building again the old waste places: you will make strong the bases of old generations: and you will be named, He who puts up the broken walls, and, He who makes ready the ways for use.

bbe@Isaiah:59:1 @Truly, the Lord's hand has not become short, so that he is unable to give salvation; and his ear is not shut from hearing:

bbe@Isaiah:59:2 @But your sins have come between you and your God, and by your evil doings his face has been veiled from you, so that he will give you no answer.

bbe@Isaiah:59:5 @They give birth to snake's eggs, and make spider's threads: whoever takes their eggs for food comes to his death, and the egg which is crushed becomes a poison-snake.

bbe@Isaiah:59:10 @We go on our way, like blind men feeling for the wall, even like those who have no eyes: we are running against things in daylight as if it was evening; our place is in the dark like dead men.

bbe@Isaiah:59:14 @And the right is turned back, and righteousness is far away: for good faith is not to be seen in the public places, and upright behaviour may not come into the town.

bbe@Isaiah:59:15 @Yes, faith is gone; and he whose heart is turned from evil comes into the power of the cruel: and the Lord saw it, and he was angry that there was no one to take up their cause.

bbe@Isaiah:59:17 @Yes, he put on righteousness as a breastplate, and salvation as a head-dress; and he put on punishment as clothing, and wrath as a robe.

bbe@Isaiah:59:18 @He will give them the right reward of their doings, wrath to his attackers, punishment to his haters, and even on the sea-lands he will send punishment.

bbe@Isaiah:59:19 @So they will see the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the east: for he will come like a rushing stream, forced on by a wind of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:59:20 @And as a saviour he will come to Zion, turning away sin from Jacob, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:59:21 @And as for me, this is my agreement with them, says the Lord: my spirit which is on you, and my words which I have put in your mouth, will not go away from your mouth, or from the mouth of your seed, or from the mouth of your seed's seed, says the Lord, from now and for ever.

bbe@Isaiah:60:1 @Up! let your face be bright, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is shining on you.

bbe@Isaiah:60:3 @And nations will come to your light, and kings to your bright dawn.

bbe@Isaiah:60:4 @Let your eyes be lifted up, and see: they are all coming together to you: your sons will come from far, and your daughters taken with loving care.

bbe@Isaiah:60:5 @Then you will see, and be bright with joy, and your heart will be shaking with increase of delight: for the produce of the sea will be turned to you, the wealth of the nations will come to you.

bbe@Isaiah:60:6 @You will be full of camel-trains, even the young camels of Midian and Ephah; all from Sheba will come, with gold and spices, giving word of the great acts of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:60:7 @All the flocks of Kedar will come together to you, the sheep of Nebaioth will be ready for your need; they will be pleasing offerings on my altar, and my house of prayer will be beautiful.

bbe@Isaiah:60:9 @Vessels of the sea-lands are waiting for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, so that your sons may come from far, and their silver and gold with them, to the place of the name of the Lord your God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he has made you beautiful.

bbe@Isaiah:60:10 @And men from strange countries will be building up your walls, and their kings will be your servants: for in my wrath I sent punishment on you, but in my grace I have had mercy on you.

bbe@Isaiah:60:11 @Your doors will be open at all times; they will not be shut day or night; so that men may come into you with the wealth of the nations, with their kings at their head.

bbe@Isaiah:60:12 @For the nation or kingdom which will not be your servant will come to destruction; such nations will be completely waste.

bbe@Isaiah:60:13 @The glory of Lebanon will come to you, the cypress, the plane, and the sherbin-tree together, to make my holy place beautiful; and the resting-place of my feet will be full of glory.

bbe@Isaiah:60:14 @And the sons of those who were cruel to you will come before you with bent heads; and those who made sport of you will go down on their faces at your feet; and you will be named, The Town of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@Isaiah:60:18 @Violent acts will no longer be seen in your land, wasting or destruction in your limits; but your walls will be named, Salvation, and your doors Praise.

bbe@Isaiah:60:22 @The smallest of their families will become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation: I, the Lord, will make it come quickly in its time.

bbe@Isaiah:61:1 @The spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make the broken-hearted well, to say that the prisoners will be made free, and that those in chains will see the light again;

bbe@Isaiah:61:2 @To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure has come, and the day of punishment from our God; to give comfort to all who are sad;

bbe@Isaiah:61:3 @To give them a fair head-dress in place of dust, the oil of joy in place of the clothing of grief, praise in place of sorrow; so that they may be named trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, and so that he may have glory.

bbe@Isaiah:61:5 @And men from strange countries will be your herdsmen, and those who are not Israelites will be your ploughmen and vine-keepers.

bbe@Isaiah:61:6 @But you will be named the priests of the Lord, the servants of our God: you will have the wealth of the nations for your food, and you will be clothed with their glory.

bbe@Isaiah:61:7 @As they had twice as much grief, and marks of shame were their heritage, so in their land they will be rewarded twice over, and will have eternal joy.

bbe@Isaiah:61:8 @For I, the Lord, take pleasure in upright judging; I will not put up with the violent taking away of right; and I will certainly give them their reward, and I will make an eternal agreement with them.

bbe@Isaiah:61:10 @I will be full of joy in the Lord, my soul will be glad in my God; for he has put on me the clothing of salvation, covering me with the robe of righteousness, as the husband puts on a fair head-dress, and the bride makes herself beautiful with jewels.

bbe@Isaiah:62:2 @And the nations will see your righteousness, and all kings your glory: and you will have a new name, given by the mouth of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:62:4 @You will not now be named, She who is given up; and your land will no longer be named, The waste land: but you will have the name, My pleasure is in her, and your land will be named, Married: for the Lord has pleasure in you, and your land will be married.

bbe@Isaiah:62:6 @I have put watchmen on your walls, O Jerusalem; they will not keep quiet day or night: you who are the Lord's recorders, take no rest,

bbe@Isaiah:62:8 @The Lord has taken an oath by his right hand, and by the arm of his strength, Truly, I will no longer give your grain to be food for your haters; and men of strange countries will not take the wine for which your work has been done:

bbe@Isaiah:62:11 @The Lord has sent out word to the end of the earth, Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your saviour comes; those whom he has made free are with him, and those to whom he has given salvation go before him.

bbe@Isaiah:62:12 @And they will be named, The holy people, Those whose cause has been taken up by the Lord: and you will be named, Desired, A town not given up.

bbe@Isaiah:63:1 @Who is this who comes from Edom, with blood-red robes from Bozrah? he whose clothing is fair, stepping with pride in his great strength? I whose glory is in the right, strong for salvation.

bbe@Isaiah:63:3 @I have been crushing the grapes by myself, and of the peoples there was no man with me: in my wrath and in my passion, they were crushed under my feet; and my robes are marked with their life-blood, and all my clothing is red.

bbe@Isaiah:63:4 @For the day of punishment is in my heart, and the year for the payment of the price for my people has come.

bbe@Isaiah:63:7 @I will give news of the mercies of the Lord, and his great acts, even all the things the Lord has done for us, in his great grace to the house of Israel; even all he has done for us in his unnumbered mercies.

bbe@Isaiah:63:11 @Then the early days came to their minds, the days of Moses his servant: and they said, Where is he who made the keeper of his flock come up from the sea? where is he who put his holy spirit among them,

bbe@Isaiah:63:12 @He who made the arm of his glory go at the right hand of Moses, by whom the waters were parted before them, to make himself an eternal name;

bbe@Isaiah:63:14 @Like the cattle which go down into the valley, they went without falling, the spirit of the Lord guiding them: so you went before your people, to make yourself a great name.

bbe@Isaiah:63:15 @Let your eyes be looking down from heaven, from your holy and beautiful house: where is your deep feeling, the working of your power? do not keep back the moving of your pity and your mercies:

bbe@Isaiah:63:17 @O Lord, why do you send us wandering from your ways, making our hearts hard, so that we have no fear of you? Come back, because of your servants, the tribes of your heritage.

bbe@Isaiah:63:18 @Why have evil men gone over your holy place, so that it has been crushed under the feet of our haters?

bbe@Isaiah:63:19 @We have become as those who were never ruled by you, on whom your name was not named.

bbe@Isaiah:64:1 @O let the heavens be broken open and come down, so that the mountains may be shaking before you,

bbe@Isaiah:64:2 @As when fire puts the brushwood in flames, or as when water is boiling from the heat of the fire: to make your name feared by your haters, so that the nations may be shaking before you;

bbe@Isaiah:64:3 @While you do acts of power for which we are not looking, and which have not come to the ears of men in the past.

bbe@Isaiah:64:5 @Will you not have mercy on him who takes pleasure in doing righteousness, even on those who keep in mind your ways? Truly you were angry, and we went on doing evil, and sinning against you in the past.

bbe@Isaiah:64:6 @For we have all become like an unclean person, and all our good acts are like a dirty robe: and we have all become old like a dead leaf, and our sins, like the wind, take us away.

bbe@Isaiah:64:7 @And there is no one who makes prayer to your name, or who is moved to keep true to you: for your face is veiled from us, and you have given us into the power of our sins.

bbe@Isaiah:64:10 @Your holy towns have become a waste, Zion has become a waste, Jerusalem is a mass of broken walls.

bbe@Isaiah:64:11 @Our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers gave praise to you, is burned with fire; and all the things of our desire have come to destruction.

bbe@Isaiah:64:12 @In view of all this, will you still do nothing, O Lord? will you keep quiet, and go on increasing our punishment?

bbe@Isaiah:65:1 @I have been ready to give an answer to those who did not make prayer to me; I have been offering myself to those who were not searching for me; I said, Here am I, here am I, to a nation which gave no respect to my name.

bbe@Isaiah:65:3 @A people who make me angry every day, making offerings in gardens, and burning perfumes on bricks.

bbe@Isaiah:65:5 @Who say, Keep away, do not come near me, for fear that I make you holy: these are a smoke in my nose, a fire burning all day.

bbe@Isaiah:65:6 @See, it is recorded before me, says the Lord: I will not keep back my hand, till I have sent punishment,

bbe@Isaiah:65:7 @For their sins and the sins of their fathers, who were burning perfumes on the mountains, and saying evil things against me on the hills: so I will take the measure of their sins, and will send the punishment for them into their breast.

bbe@Isaiah:65:10 @And Sharon will be a grass-land for the flocks, and the valley of Achor a resting-place for the herds: for my people whose hearts have been turned back to me.

bbe@Isaiah:65:12 @Your fate will be the sword, and you will all go down to death: because when my voice came to you, you made no answer; you did not give ear to my word; but you did what was evil in my eyes, desiring what was not pleasing to me.

bbe@Isaiah:65:13 @For this cause says the Lord God, My servants will have food, but you will be in need of food: my servants will have drink, but you will be dry: my servants will have joy, but you will be shamed:

bbe@Isaiah:65:15 @And your name will become a curse to my people, and the Lord God will put you to death, and give his servants another name:

bbe@Isaiah:65:16 @So that he who is requesting a blessing will make use of the name of the true God, and he who takes an oath will do so by the true God; because the past troubles are gone out of mind, and because they are covered from my eyes.

bbe@Isaiah:65:18 @But men will be glad and have joy for ever in what I am making; for I am making Jerusalem a delight, and her people a joy.

bbe@Isaiah:65:20 @No longer will there be there a child whose days are cut short, or an old man whose days have not come to their full measure: for the young man at his death will be a hundred years old, and he whose life is shorter than a hundred years will seem as one cursed.

bbe@Isaiah:65:22 @They will no longer be building for the use of others, or planting for others to have the fruit: for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my loved ones will have joy in full measure in the work of their hands.

bbe@Isaiah:65:24 @And before they make their request I will give an answer, and while they are still making prayer to me, I will give ear.

bbe@Isaiah:65:25 @The wolf and the lamb will take their food together, and the lion will make a meal of grass like the ox: but dust will be the snake's food. There will be no cause of pain or destruction in all my holy mountain, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:66:1 @The Lord says, Heaven is the seat of my power, and earth is the resting-place for my feet: what sort of house will you make for me, and what place will be my resting-place?

bbe@Isaiah:66:3 @He who puts an ox to death puts a man to death; he who makes an offering of a lamb puts a dog to death; he who makes a meal offering makes an offering of pig's blood; he who makes an offering of perfumes for a sign gives worship to an image: as they have gone after their desires, and their soul takes pleasure in their disgusting things;

bbe@Isaiah:66:5 @Give ear to the word of the Lord, you who are in fear at his word: your countrymen, hating you, and driving you out because of my name, have said, Let the Lord's glory be made clear, so that we may see your joy; but they will be put to shame.

bbe@Isaiah:66:6 @There is a noise of war from the town, a sound from the Temple, the voice of the Lord giving punishment to his haters.

bbe@Isaiah:66:7 @Before her pains came, she gave birth; before her pains, she gave birth to a man-child.

bbe@Isaiah:66:8 @When has such a story come to men's ears? who has seen such things? will a land come to birth in one day? will a nation be given birth in a minute? For when Zion's pains came on her, she gave birth to her children straight away.

bbe@Isaiah:66:9 @Will I by whom the birth was started, not make it complete? says the Lord. Will I who make children come to birth, let them be kept back? says your God.

bbe@Isaiah:66:11 @So that you may take of the comfort flowing from her breasts, and be delighted with the full measure of her glory.

bbe@Isaiah:66:15 @For the Lord is coming with fire, and his war-carriages will be like the storm-wind; to give punishment in the heat of his wrath, and his passion is like flames of fire.

bbe@Isaiah:66:16 @For with fire and sword will the Lord come, judging all the earth, and his sword will be on all flesh: and great numbers will be put to death by him.

bbe@Isaiah:66:17 @As for those who keep themselves separate, and make themselves clean in the gardens, going after one in the middle, taking pig's flesh for food, and other disgusting things, such as the mouse: their works and their thoughts will come to an end together, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:66:18 @And I am coming to get together all nations and tongues: and they will come and will see my glory.

bbe@Isaiah:66:19 @And I will put a sign among them, and I will send those who are still living to the nations, to Tarshish, Put, and Lud, Meshech and Rosh, Tubal and Javan, to the sea-lands far away, who have not had word of me, or seen my glory; and they will give the knowledge of my glory to the nations.

bbe@Isaiah:66:20 @And they will take your countrymen out of all the nations for an offering to the Lord, on horses, and in carriages, and in carts, and on asses, and on camels, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the Lord, as the children of Israel take their offering in a clean vessel into the house of the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:66:21 @And some of them will I take for priests and Levites, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:66:22 @For as the new heaven and the new earth which I will make will be for ever before me, says the Lord, so will your seed and your name be for ever.

bbe@Isaiah:66:23 @And it will be, that from new moon to new moon, and from Sabbath to Sabbath, all flesh will come to give worship before me, says the Lord.

bbe@Isaiah:66:24 @And they will go out to see the dead bodies of the men who have done evil against me: for their worm will ever be living, and their fire will never be put out, and they will be a thing of fear to all flesh.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:2 @To whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his rule.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:3 @And it came again in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, up to the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah; till Jerusalem was taken away in the fifth month.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:4 @Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:1:5 @Before you were formed in the body of your mother I had knowledge of you, and before your birth I made you holy; I have given you the work of being a prophet to the nations.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:7 @But the Lord said to me, Do not say, I am a child: for wherever I send you, you are to go, and whatever I give you orders to say, you are to say.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:9 @Then the Lord put out his hand, touching my mouth; and the Lord said to me, See, I have put my words in your mouth:

bbe@Jeremiah:1:11 @Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Jeremiah, what do you see? And I said, I see a branch of an almond-tree.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:12 @Then the Lord said to me, You have seen well: for I keep watch over my word to give effect to it.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:13 @And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying, What do you see? And I said, I see a boiling pot, and its face is from the north.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:14 @Then the Lord said to me, Out of the north evil will come, bursting out on all the people of the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:15 @For see, I will send for all the families of the kingdoms of the north, says the Lord; and they will come, everyone placing his high seat at the way into Jerusalem, and against its walls on every side, and against all the towns of Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:16 @And I will give my decision against them on account of all their evil-doing; because they have given me up, burning perfumes to other gods and worshipping the works of their hands.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:17 @So make yourself ready, and go and say to them everything I give you orders to say: do not be overcome by fear of them, or I will send fear on you before them.

bbe@Jeremiah:1:19 @They will be fighting against you, but they will not overcome you: for I am with you, says the Lord, to give you salvation.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:1 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:2:2 @Go and say in the ears of Jerusalem, The Lord says, I still keep the memory of your kind heart when you were young, and your love when you became my bride; how you went after me in the waste of sand, in an unplanted land.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:3 @Israel was holy to the Lord, the first-fruits of his increase: all who made attacks on him were judged as wrongdoers, evil came on them, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:5 @These are the words of the Lord: What evil have your fathers seen in me that they have gone far from me, and, walking after what is false, have become false?

bbe@Jeremiah:2:7 @And I took you into a fertile land, where you were living on its fruit and its wealth; but when you came in, you made my land unclean, and made my heritage a disgusting thing.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:8 @The priests did not say, Where is the Lord? and those who were expert in the law had no knowledge of me: and the rulers did evil against me, and the prophets became prophets of the Baal, going after things without value.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:12 @Be full of wonder, O heavens, at this; be overcome with fear, be completely waste, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:13 @For my people have done two evils; they have given up me, the fountain of living waters, and have made for themselves water-holes, cut out from the rock, broken water-holes, of no use for storing water.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:16 @Even the children of Noph and Tahpanhes have put shame on you.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:17 @Has not this come on you because you have given up the Lord your God, who was your guide by the way?

bbe@Jeremiah:2:19 @The evil you yourselves have done will be your punishment, your errors will be your judge: be certain then, and see that it is an evil and a bitter thing to give up the Lord your God, and no longer to be moved by fear of me, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:21 @But when you were planted by me, you were a noble vine, in every way a true seed: how then have you been changed into the branching plant of a strange vine?

bbe@Jeremiah:2:22 @For even if you are washed with soda and take much soap, still your evil-doing is marked before me, says the Lord God.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:23 @How are you able to say, I am not unclean, I have not gone after the Baals? see your way in the valley, be clear about what you have done: you are a quick-footed camel twisting her way in and out;

bbe@Jeremiah:2:24 @An untrained ass, used to the waste land, breathing up the wind in her desire; at her time, who is able to send her away? all those who are looking for her will have no need to make themselves tired; in her month they will get her.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:26 @As the thief is shamed when he is taken, so is Israel shamed; they, their kings and their rulers, their priests and their prophets;

bbe@Jeremiah:2:27 @Who say to a tree, You are my father; and to a stone, You have given me life: for their backs have been turned to me, not their faces: but in the time of their trouble they will say, Up! and be our saviour.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:28 @But where are the gods you have made for yourselves? let them come, if they are able to give you salvation in the time of your trouble: for the number of your gods is as the number of your towns, O Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:29 @Why will you put forward your cause against me? You have all done evil against me, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:31 @O generation, see the word of the Lord. Have I been a waste land to Israel? or a land of dark night? why do my people say, We have got loose, we will not come to you again?

bbe@Jeremiah:2:32 @Is it possible for a virgin to put out of her memory her ornaments, or a bride her robes? but my people have put me out of their memories for unnumbered days.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:35 @And still you said, I have done no wrong; truly, his wrath is turned away from me. See, I will take up the cause against you, because you say, I have done no wrong.

bbe@Jeremiah:2:36 @Why do you go about so much for the purpose of changing your way? you will be shamed on account of Egypt, as you were shamed on account of Assyria.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:1 @They say, If a man puts away his wife and she goes from him and becomes another man's, will he go back to her again? will not that land have been made unclean? but though you have been acting like a loose woman with a number of lovers, will you now come back to me? says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:3 @So the showers have been kept back, and there has been no spring rain; still your brow is the brow of a loose woman, you will not let yourself be shamed.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:4 @Will you not, from this time, make your prayer to me, crying, My father, you are the friend of my early years?

bbe@Jeremiah:3:6 @And the Lord said to me in the days of Josiah the king, Have you seen what Israel, turning away from me, has done? She has gone up on every high mountain and under every branching tree, acting like a loose woman there.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:7 @And I said, After she has done all these things she will come back to me; but she did not. And her false sister Judah saw it.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:8 @And though she saw that, because Israel, turning away from me, had been untrue to me, I had put her away and given her a statement in writing ending the relation between us, still Judah, her false sister, had no fear, but went and did the same.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:9 @So that through all her loose behaviour the land became unclean, and she was untrue, giving herself to stones and trees.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:10 @But for all this, her false sister Judah has not come back to me with all her heart, but with deceit, says the Lord

bbe@Jeremiah:3:11 @And the Lord said to me, Israel in her turning away is seen to be more upright than false Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:12 @Go, and give out these words to the north, and say, Come back, O Israel, though you have been turned away from me, says the Lord; my face will not be against you in wrath: for I am full of mercy, says the Lord, I will not be angry for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:13 @Only be conscious of your sin, the evil you have done against the Lord your God; you have gone with strange men under every branching tree, giving no attention to my voice, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:14 @Come back, O children who are turned away, says the Lord; for I am a husband to you, and I will take you, one from a town and two from a family, and will make you come to Zion;

bbe@Jeremiah:3:16 @And it will come about, when your numbers are increased in the land, in those days, says the Lord, that they will no longer say, The ark of the agreement of the Lord: it will not come into their minds, they will not have any memory of it, or be conscious of the loss of it, and it will not be made again.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:17 @At that time Jerusalem will be named the seat of the Lord's kingdom; and all the nations will come together to it, to the name of the Lord, to Jerusalem: and no longer will their steps be guided by the purposes of their evil hearts.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:18 @In those days the family of Judah will go with the family of Israel, and they will come together out of the land of the north into the land which I gave for a heritage to your fathers.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:19 @But I said, How am I to put you among the children, and give you a desired land, a heritage of glory among the armies of the nations? and I said, You are to say to me, My father; and not be turned away from me.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:20 @Truly, as a wife is false to her husband, so have you been false to me, O Israel, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:22 @Come back, you children who have been turned away, and I will take away your desire for wandering. See, we have come to you, for you are the Lord our God.

bbe@Jeremiah:3:25 @Let us be stretched on the earth in our downfall, covering ourselves with our shame: for we have been sinners against the Lord our God, we and our fathers, from our earliest years even till this day: and we have not given ear to the voice of the Lord our God.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:1 @If you will come back, O Israel, says the Lord, you will come back to me: and if you will put away your disgusting ways, you will not be sent away from before me.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:3 @For this is what the Lord says to the men of Judah and to Jerusalem: Get your unworked land ploughed up, do not put in your seeds among thorns.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:4 @Undergo a circumcision of the heart, you men of Judah and people of Jerusalem: or my wrath may come out like fire, burning so that no one is able to put it out, because of the evil of your doings.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:5 @Say openly in Judah, give it out in Jerusalem, and say, Let the horn be sounded in the land: crying out in a loud voice, Come together, and let us go into the walled towns.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:9 @And it will come about in that day, says the Lord, that the heart of the king will be dead in him, and the hearts of the rulers; and the priests will be overcome with fear, and the prophets with wonder.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:10 @Then said I, Ah, Lord God! your words were not true when you said to this people and to Jerusalem, You will have peace; when the sword has come even to the soul

bbe@Jeremiah:4:11 @At that time it will be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A burning wind from the open hilltops in the waste land is blowing on the daughter of my people, not for separating or cleaning the grain;

bbe@Jeremiah:4:12 @A full wind will come for me: and now I will give my decision against them.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:13 @See, he will come up like the clouds, and his war-carriages like the storm-wind: his horses are quicker than eagles. Sorrow is ours, for destruction has come on us.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:16 @Make this come to the minds of the nations, make a statement openly against Jerusalem, that attackers are coming from a far country and their voices will be loud against the towns of Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:17 @Like keepers of a field they are against her on every side; because she has been fighting against me, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:18 @Your ways and your doings have made these things come on you; this is your sin; truly it is bitter, going deep into your heart.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:19 @My soul, my soul! I am pained to my inmost heart; my heart is troubled in me; I am not able to be quiet, because the sound of the horn, the note of war, has come to my ears.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:22 @For my people are foolish, they have no knowledge of me; they are evil-minded children, without sense, all of them: they are wise in evil-doing, but have no knowledge of doing good.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:27 @For this is what the Lord has said: All the land will become a waste; I will make destruction complete.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:29 @All the land is in flight because of the noise of the horsemen and the bowmen; they have taken cover in the woodland and up on the rocks: every town has been given up, not a man is living in them.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:30 @And you, when you are made waste, what will you do? Though you are clothed in red, though you make yourself beautiful with ornaments of gold, though you make your eyes wide with paint, it is for nothing that you make yourself fair; your lovers have no more desire for you, they have designs on your life.

bbe@Jeremiah:4:31 @A voice has come to my ears like the voice of a woman in birth-pains, the pain of one giving birth to her first child, the voice of the daughter of Zion, fighting for breath, stretching out her hands, saying, Now sorrow is mine! for my strength is gone from me before the takers of life.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:3 @O Lord, do not your eyes see good faith? you have given them punishment, but they were not troubled; you have sent destruction on them, but they did not take your teaching to heart: they have made their faces harder than a rock; they would not come back.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:5 @I will go to the great men and have talk with them; for they have knowledge of the way of the Lord and of the behaviour desired by their God. But as for these, their one purpose is a broken yoke and burst bands.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:7 @How is it possible for you to have my forgiveness for this? your children have given me up, taking their oaths by those who are no gods: when I had given them food in full measure, they were false to their wives, taking their pleasure in the houses of loose women.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:8 @They were full of desire, like horses after a meal of grain: everyone went after his neighbour's wife.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:9 @Am I not to give punishment for these things? says the Lord: will not my soul take payment from such a nation as this?

bbe@Jeremiah:5:11 @For the people of Israel and the people of Judah have been very false to me, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:12 @They would have nothing to do with the Lord, saying, He will do nothing, and no evil will come to us; we will not see the sword or be short of food:

bbe@Jeremiah:5:13 @And the prophets will become wind, and the word is not in them; so it will be done to them.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:16 @Their arrows give certain death, they are all men of war.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:19 @And it will come about, when you say, Why has the Lord our God done all these things to us? that you will say to them, As you gave me up, making yourselves servants to strange gods in your land, so will you be servants to strange men in a land which is not yours.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:22 @Have you no fear of me? says the Lord; will you not be shaking with fear before me, who have put the sand as a limit for the sea, by an eternal order, so that it may not go past it? and though it is ever in motion, it is not able to have its way; though the sound of its waves is loud, they are not able to go past it.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:23 @But the heart of this people is uncontrolled and turned away from me; they are broken loose and gone.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:24 @And they do not say in their hearts, Now let us give worship to our God, who gives the rain, the winter and the spring rain, at the right time; who keeps for us the ordered weeks of the grain-cutting.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:26 @For there are sinners among my people: they keep watch, like men watching for birds; they put a net and take men in it.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:27 @As the fowl-house is full of birds, so are their houses full of deceit: for this reason they have become great and have got wealth.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:28 @They have become fat and strong: they have gone far in works of evil: they give no support to the cause of the child without a father, so that they may do well; they do not see that the poor man gets his rights.

bbe@Jeremiah:5:29 @Am I not to give punishment for these things? says the Lord: will not my soul take payment from such a nation as this?

bbe@Jeremiah:5:30 @A thing of wonder and fear has come about in the land;

bbe@Jeremiah:6:3 @Keepers of sheep with their flocks will come to her; they will put up their tents round her; everyone will get food in his place.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:7 @As the spring keeps its waters cold, so she keeps her evil in her: the sound of cruel and violent behaviour is in her; before me at all times are disease and wounds.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:10 @To whom am I to give word, witnessing so that they may take note? see, their ears are stopped, and they are not able to give attention: see, the word of the Lord has been a cause of shame to them, they have no delight in it.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:11 @For this reason I am full of the wrath of the Lord, I am tired of keeping it in: may it be let loose on the children in the street, and on the band of the young men together: for even the husband with his wife will be taken, the old man with him who is full of days.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:15 @Let them be put to shame because they have done disgusting things. They had no shame, they were not able to become red with shame: so they will come down with those who are falling: when my punishment comes on them, they will be made low, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:17 @And I put watchmen over you, saying, Give attention to the sound of the horn; but they said, We will not give attention.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:19 @Give ear, O earth: see, I will make evil come on this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, because they have not given attention to my words, and they would have nothing to do with my law.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:20 @To what purpose does sweet perfume come to me from Sheba, and spices from a far country? your burned offerings give me no pleasure, your offerings of beasts are not pleasing to me.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:21 @For this reason the Lord has said, See, I will put stones in the way of this people: and the fathers and the sons together will go falling over them; the neighbour and his friend will come to destruction.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:23 @Bows and spears are in their hands; they are cruel and have no mercy; their voice is like the thunder of the sea, and they go on horses; everyone in his place like men going to the fight, against you, O daughter of Zion.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:24 @The news of it has come to our ears; our hands have become feeble: trouble has come on us and pain, like the pain of a woman in childbirth.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:26 @O daughter of my people, put on haircloth, rolling yourself in the dust: give yourself to sorrow, as for an only son, with most bitter cries of grief; for he who makes waste will come on us suddenly.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:29 @The blower is blowing strongly, the lead is burned away in the fire: they go on heating the metal to no purpose, for the evil-doers are not taken away.

bbe@Jeremiah:6:30 @They will be named waste silver, because the Lord has given them up.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:7:2 @Take your place in the doorway of the Lord's house, and give out this word there, and say, Give ear to the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who come inside these doors to give worship to the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:9 @Will you take the goods of others, put men to death, and be untrue to your wives, and take false oaths, and have perfumes burned to the Baal, and go after other gods which are strange to you;

bbe@Jeremiah:7:10 @And come and take your place before me in this house, which is named by my name, and say, We have been made safe; so that you may do all these disgusting things?

bbe@Jeremiah:7:11 @Has this house, which is named by my name, become a hole of thieves to you? Truly I, even I, have seen it, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:12 @But go now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I put my name at first, and see what I did to it because of the evil-doing of my people Israel.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:13 @And now, because you have done all these works, says the Lord, and I sent my word to you, getting up early and sending, but you did not give ear; and my voice came to you, but you gave no answer:

bbe@Jeremiah:7:14 @For this reason I will do to the house which is named by my name, and in which you have put your faith, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:16 @And as for you (Jeremiah), make no prayers for this people, send up no cry or prayer for them, make no request for them to me: for I will not give ear

bbe@Jeremiah:7:18 @The children go for wood, the fathers get the fire burning, the women are working the paste to make cakes for the queen of heaven, and drink offerings are drained out to other gods, moving me to wrath.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:19 @Are they moving me to wrath? says the Lord; are they not moving themselves to their shame?

bbe@Jeremiah:7:23 @But this was the order I gave them, saying, Give ear to my voice, and I will be your God, and you will be my people: go in all the way ordered by me, so that all may be well for you.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:25 @From the day when your fathers came out of Egypt till this day, I have sent my servants the prophets to you, getting up early every day and sending them:

bbe@Jeremiah:7:30 @For the children of Judah have done what is evil in my eyes, says the Lord: they have put their disgusting images in the house which is named by my name, making it unclean.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:31 @And they have put up the high place of Topheth in the valley of the son of Hinnom, burning their sons and their daughters there in the fire; a thing which was not ordered by me and never came into my mind.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:32 @For this cause, the days are coming, says the Lord, when it will no longer be named Topheth, or, The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of Death: for they will put the dead into the earth in Topheth till there is no more room.

bbe@Jeremiah:7:34 @And in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, I will put an end to the laughing voices, the voice of joy and the voice of the newly-married man and the voice of the bride: for the land will become a waste.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:1 @At that time, says the Lord, they will take the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his rulers, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem out of their resting-places:

bbe@Jeremiah:8:4 @Further, you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: Will those who are falling not be lifted up again? will he who has gone away not come back?

bbe@Jeremiah:8:5 @Why do these people of Jerusalem go back, for ever turning away? they will not give up their deceit, they will not come back.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:7 @Truly, the stork in the heavens is conscious of her fixed times; the dove and the swallow and the crane keep to the times of their coming; but my people have no knowledge of the law of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:9 @The wise men are shamed, they are overcome with fear and taken: see, they have given up the word of the Lord; and what use is their wisdom to them?

bbe@Jeremiah:8:12 @Let them be put to shame because they have done disgusting things. They had no shame, they were not able to become red with shame: so they will come down with those who are falling: in the time of their punishment they will be made low, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:14 @Why are we seated doing nothing? come together, and let us go to the walled towns, and let destruction overtake us there, for the Lord our God has sent destruction on us, and given us bitter water for our drink, because we have done evil against the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:15 @We were looking for peace, but no good came; and for a time of well-being, but there is only a great fear.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:16 @The loud breathing of the horses comes to our ears from Dan: at the sound of the outcry of his war-horses, all the land is shaking with fear; for they have come, and have made a meal of the land and everything in it; the town and the people living in it.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:18 @Sorrow has come on me! my heart in me is feeble

bbe@Jeremiah:8:19 @The voice of the cry of the daughter of my people comes from a far land: Is the Lord not in Zion? is not her King in her? Why have they made me angry with their images and their strange gods which are no gods?

bbe@Jeremiah:8:20 @The grain-cutting is past, the summer is ended, and no salvation has come to us.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:21 @For the destruction of the daughter of my people I am broken: I am dressed in the clothing of grief; fear has taken me in its grip.

bbe@Jeremiah:8:22 @Is there no life-giving oil in Gilead? is there no expert in medical arts? why then have my people not been made well?

bbe@Jeremiah:9:2 @If only I had in the waste land a night's resting-place for travellers, so that I might go away, far from my people! for they are all untrue, a band of false men.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:3 @Their tongues are bent like a bow to send out false words: they have become strong in the land, but not for good faith: they go on from evil to evil, and they have no knowledge of me, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:5 @Everyone will make sport of his neighbour with deceit, not saying what is true: their tongues have been trained to say false words; they are twisted, hating to come back.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:6 @There is wrong on wrong, deceit on deceit; they have given up the knowledge of me, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:9 @Am I not to send punishment for these things? says the Lord: will not my soul take payment from such a nation as this?

bbe@Jeremiah:9:12 @Who is the wise man able to see this? who is he to whom the word of the Lord has come, so that he may make it clear? why is the land given to destruction and burned up like a waste place, so that no one goes through?

bbe@Jeremiah:9:17 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: Take thought and send for the weeping women, so that they may come; and send for the wise women, so that they may come:

bbe@Jeremiah:9:19 @For a sound of weeping goes up from Zion, a cry, How has destruction come on us? we are overcome with shame because we have gone away from our land; he has sent us out from our house.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:20 @But even now, give ear to the word of the Lord, O you women; let your ears be open to the word of his mouth, training your daughters to give cries of sorrow, everyone teaching her neighbour a song of grief

bbe@Jeremiah:9:21 @For death has come up into our windows, forcing its way into our great houses; cutting off the children in the streets and the young men in the wide places.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:22 @The bodies of men will be falling like waste on the open fields, and like grain dropped by the grain-cutter, and no one will take them up.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:24 @But if any man has pride, let it be in this, that he has the wisdom to have knowledge of me, that I am the Lord, working mercy, giving true decisions, and doing righteousness in the earth: for in these things I have delight, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:9:25 @See, the day is coming, says the Lord, when I will send punishment on all those who have circumcision in the flesh;

bbe@Jeremiah:10:4 @They make it beautiful with silver and gold; they make it strong with nails and hammers, so that it may not be moved.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:6 @There is no one like you, O Lord; you are great and your name is great in power.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:7 @Who would not have fear of you, O King of the nations? for it is your right: for among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is no one like you.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:9 @Silver hammered into plates is sent from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the expert workman and of the hands of the gold-worker; blue and purple is their clothing, all the work of expert men

bbe@Jeremiah:10:13 @At the sound of his voice there is a massing of waters in the heavens, and he makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes the thunder-flames for the rain, and sends out the wind from his store-houses.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:14 @Then every man becomes like a beast without knowledge; every gold-worker is put to shame by the image he has made: for his metal image is deceit, and there is no breath in them.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:15 @They are nothing, a work of error: in the time of their punishment, destruction will overtake them.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:16 @The heritage of Jacob is not like these; for the maker of all things is his heritage: the Lord of armies is his name.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:18 @For the Lord has said, I will send the people in flight like a stone from the land at this time, troubling them so that they will be conscious of it.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:20 @My tent is pulled down and all my cords are broken: my children have gone from me, and they are not: no longer is there anyone to give help in stretching out my tent and hanging up my curtains.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:21 @For the keepers of the sheep have become like beasts, not looking to the Lord for directions: so they have not done wisely and all their flocks have been put to flight.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:22 @News is going about, see, it is coming, a great shaking is coming from the north country, so that the towns of Judah may be made waste and become the living-place of jackals.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:24 @O Lord, put me right, but with wise purpose; not in your wrath, or you will make me small.

bbe@Jeremiah:10:25 @Let your wrath be let loose on the nations which have no knowledge of you, and on the families who give no worship to your name: for they have made a meal of Jacob, truly they have made a meal of him and put an end to him and made his fields a waste.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:11:2 @Give ear to the words of this agreement, and say to the men of Judah and to the people of Jerusalem,

bbe@Jeremiah:11:3 @The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, Let that man be cursed who does not give ear to the words of this agreement,

bbe@Jeremiah:11:6 @And the Lord said to me, Give out these words in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, saying, Give ear to the words of this agreement and do them.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:8 @But they gave no attention and did not give ear, but they went on, every man in the pride of his evil heart: so I sent on them all the curses in this agreement, which I gave them orders to keep, but they did not.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:9 @And the Lord said to me, There is an evil design at work among the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:10 @They are turned back to the sins of their fathers, who would not give ear to my words; they have gone after other gods and become their servants: the people of Israel and the people of Judah have not kept the agreement which I made with their fathers.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:11 @So the Lord has said, I will send evil on them, which they will not be able to get away from; and they will send up a cry for help to me, but I will not give ear to them

bbe@Jeremiah:11:12 @Then the towns of Judah and the people of Jerusalem will go crying for help to the gods to whom they have been burning perfumes: but they will give them no salvation in the time of their trouble.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:13 @For the number of your gods is as the number of your towns, O Judah; and for every street in Jerusalem you have put up altars to the Baal for burning perfumes to the Baal.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:14 @And as for you, make no prayers for this people, send up no cry or prayer for them: for I will not give ear to their cry in the time of their trouble.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:16 @You had been named by the Lord, A branching olive-tree, fair with beautiful fruit: with the noise of a great rushing he has put it on fire and its branches are broken.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:17 @For the Lord of armies, by whom you were planted, has given his decision for evil against you, because of the evil which the people of Israel and the people of Judah have done, In moving me to wrath by offering perfumes to the Baal.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:18 @And the Lord gave me knowledge of it and I saw it: then you made clear to me their doings.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:19 @But I was like a gentle lamb taken to be put to death; I had no thought that they were designing evil against me, saying, Come and let us make trouble his food, cutting him off from the land of the living, so that there may be no more memory of his name.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:20 @But, O Lord of armies, judging in righteousness, testing the thoughts and the heart, let me see your punishment come on them: for I have put my cause before you.

bbe@Jeremiah:11:21 @So this is what the Lord of armies has said about the men of Anathoth who have made designs against your life, saying, You are not to be a prophet in the name of the Lord, or death will overtake you by our hands:

bbe@Jeremiah:11:22 @So the Lord of armies has said, See, I will send punishment on them: the young men will be put to the sword; their sons and their daughters will come to death through need of food:

bbe@Jeremiah:11:23 @Not one of them will keep his life, for I will send evil on the men of Anathoth in the year of their punishment.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:1 @You are in the right, O Lord, when I put my cause before you: still let me take up with you the question of your decisions: why does the evil-doer do well? why are the workers of deceit living in comfort?

bbe@Jeremiah:12:3 @But you, O Lord, have knowledge of me; you see me, searching and testing how my heart is with you: let them be pulled out like sheep to be put to death, make them ready for the day of death.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:5 @If running with the fighting-men has made you tired, how will you be able to keep up with horses? and if in a land of peace you go in flight, what will become of you in the thick growth of Jordan?

bbe@Jeremiah:12:8 @My heritage has become like a lion in the woodland to me; her voice has been loud against me; so I have hate for her.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:9 @My heritage is like a brightly coloured bird to me; the cruel birds are attacking her on every side: go, get together all the beasts of the field, make them come for destruction.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:11 @They have made it waste; it is weeping to me, being wasted; all the land is made waste, because no man takes it to heart.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:12 @Those who make waste have come on all the open hilltops in the waste land; for the sword of the Lord sends destruction from one end of the land to the other end of the land: no flesh has peace.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:13 @Though good grain was planted, they have got in thorns: they have given themselves pain without profit: they will be shamed on account of their produce, because of the burning wrath of the Lord

bbe@Jeremiah:12:15 @And it will come about that, after they have been uprooted, I will again have pity on them; and I will take them back, every man to his heritage and every man to his land.

bbe@Jeremiah:12:16 @And it will be that, if they give their minds to learning the ways of my people, using my name in their oaths, By the living Lord; as they have been teaching my people to take oaths by the Baal; then their place will be made certain among my people.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:1 @This is what the Lord said to me: Go and get yourself a linen band and put it round you and do not put it in water.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:3 @And the word of the Lord came to me a second time, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:13:5 @So I went and put it in a secret place by Parah, as the Lord had said to me.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:6 @Then after a long time, the Lord said to me, Up! go to Parah and get the band which I gave you orders to put there.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:8 @Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:13:10 @These evil people who say they will not give ear to my words, who go on in the pride of their hearts and have become servants and worshippers of other gods, will become like this band which is of no use for anything.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:11 @For as a band goes tightly round a man's body, so I made all the people of Israel and all the people of Judah tightly united to me; so that they might be a people for me and a name and a praise and a glory: but they would not give ear.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:13 @Then you are to say to them, The Lord has said, I will make all the people of this land, even the kings seated on David's seat, and the priests and the prophets and all the people of Jerusalem, overcome with strong drink.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:14 @I will have them smashed against one another, fathers and sons together, says the Lord: I will have no pity or mercy, I will have no feeling for them to keep me from giving them to destruction.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:18 @Say to the king and to the queen-mother, Make yourselves low, be seated on the earth: for the crown of your glory has come down from your heads.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:22 @And if you say in your heart, Why have these things come on me? because of the number of your sins, your skirts have been uncovered and violent punishment overtakes you.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:25 @This is your fate, the part measured out to you by me, says the Lord, because you have put me out of your memory and put your faith in what is false.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:26 @So I will have your skirts uncovered before your face, in order that your shame may be seen.

bbe@Jeremiah:13:27 @I have seen your disgusting acts, even your false behaviour and your cries of desire and your loose ways on the hills in the field. Unhappy are you, O Jerusalem, you have no desire to be made clean; how long will you be in turning back to me?

bbe@Jeremiah:14:1 @The word of the Lord came to Jeremiah when there was no water.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:3 @Their great men have sent their servants for water: they come to the holes and there is no water to be seen; they come back with nothing in their vessels; they are overcome with shame and fear, covering their heads.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:4 @Those who do work on the land are in fear, for there has been no rain on the land, and the farmers are shamed, covering their heads.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:7 @Though our sins give witness against us, do something, O Lord, for the honour of your name: for again and again we have been turned away from you, we have done evil against you.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:8 @O you hope of Israel, its saviour in time of trouble, why are you like one who is strange in the land, and like a traveller putting up his tent for a night?

bbe@Jeremiah:14:9 @Why are you like a man surprised, like a man of war who is not able to give help? but you, O Lord, are with us, and we are named by your name; do not go away from us.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:10 @This is what the Lord has said about this people: Even so they have been glad to go from the right way; they have not kept their feet from wandering, so the Lord has no pleasure in them; now he will keep their wrongdoing in mind and send punishment for their sins.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:11 @And the Lord said to me, Make no prayer for this people for their good.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:12 @When they go without food, I will not give ear to their cry; when they give burned offerings and meal offerings, I will not take pleasure in them: but I will put an end to them by the sword and by need of food and by disease.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:14 @Then the Lord said to me, The prophets say false words in my name, and I gave them no orders, and I said nothing to them: what they say to you is a false vision and wonder-working words without substance, the deceit of their hearts.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:15 @So this is what the Lord has said about the prophets who make use of my name, though I sent them not, and say, The sword and need of food will not be in this land: the sword and need of food will put an end to those prophets.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:19 @Have you completely given up Judah? is your soul turned in disgust from Zion? why have you given us blows from which there is no one to make us well? we were looking for peace, but no good came; and for a time of well-being, but there was only a great fear.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:21 @Do not be turned from us in disgust, because of your name; do not put shame on the seat of your glory: keep us in mind, let not your agreement with us be broken.

bbe@Jeremiah:14:22 @Are any of the false gods of the nations able to make rain come? are the heavens able to give showers? are you not he, O Lord our God? so we will go on waiting for you, for you have done all these things.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:1 @Then the Lord said to me, Even if Moses and Samuel came before me, I would have no desire for this people: send them away from before me, and let them go.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:6 @You have given me up, says the Lord, you have gone back: so my hand is stretched out against you for your destruction; I am tired of changing my purpose.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:8 @I have let their widows be increased in number more than the sand of the seas: I have sent against them, against the mother and the young men, one who makes waste in the heat of the day, causing pain and fears to come on her suddenly.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:9 @The mother of seven is without strength; her spirit is gone from her, her sun has gone down while it is still day: she has been shamed and overcome: and the rest of them I will give up to the sword before their haters, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:10 @Sorrow is mine, my mother, because you have given birth to me, a cause of fighting and argument in all the earth! I have not made men my creditors and I am not in debt to any, but every one of them is cursing me.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:14 @They will go away with your haters into a land which is strange to you: for my wrath is on fire with a flame which will be burning on you.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:15 @O Lord, you have knowledge: keep me in mind and come to my help, and give their right reward to those who are attacking me; take me not away, for you are slow to be angry: see how I have undergone shame because of you from all those who make little of your word;

bbe@Jeremiah:15:16 @But to me your word is a joy, making my heart glad; for I am named by your name, O Lord God of armies.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:17 @I did not take my seat among the band of those who are glad, and I had no joy; I kept by myself because of your hand; for you have made me full of wrath.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:18 @Why is my pain unending and my wound without hope of being made well? Sorrow is mine, for you are to me as a stream offering false hope and as waters which are not certain.

bbe@Jeremiah:15:19 @For this cause the Lord has said, If you will come back, then I will again let you take your place before me; and if you give out what is of value and not that which has no value, you will be as my mouth: let them come back to you, but do not go back to them

bbe@Jeremiah:15:20 @And I will make you a strong wall of brass to this people; they will be fighting against you, but they will not overcome you: for I am with you to keep you safe, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:1 @Then again the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:16:3 @For this is what the Lord has said about the sons and daughters who come to birth in this place, and about their mothers who have given them birth, and about their fathers who have given life to them in this land:

bbe@Jeremiah:16:4 @Death from evil diseases will overtake them; there will be no weeping for them and their bodies will not be put to rest; they will be like waste on the face of the earth: the sword and need of food will put an end to them; their dead bodies will be meat for the birds of heaven and for the beasts of the earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:5 @For this is what the Lord has said: Do not go into the house of sorrow, do not go to make weeping or songs of grief for them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, says the Lord, even mercy and pity.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:11 @Then you will say to them, Because your fathers have given me up, says the Lord, and have gone after other gods and become their servants and their worshippers, and have given me up and have not kept my law;

bbe@Jeremiah:16:12 @And you have done worse evil than your fathers; for see, every one of you is guided by the pride of his evil heart, so as not to give ear to me:

bbe@Jeremiah:16:13 @For this reason I will send you away out of this land into a land which is strange to you, to you and to your fathers; there you will be the servants of other gods day and night, and you will have no mercy from me.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:16 @See, I will send for great numbers of fishermen, says the Lord, and they will take them like fish in a net; and after that, I will send for numbers of bowmen, and they will go after them, driving them from every mountain and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:19 @O Lord, my strength and my strong tower, my safe place in the day of trouble, the nations will come to you from the ends of the earth, and say, The heritage of our fathers is nothing but deceit, even false things in which there is no profit.

bbe@Jeremiah:16:21 @For this reason, truly, I will make them see, this once I will give them knowledge of my hand and my power; and they will be certain that my name is the Lord

bbe@Jeremiah:17:4 @And your hand will have to let go your heritage which I gave you; and I will make you a servant to your haters in a land which is strange to you: for you have put my wrath on fire with a flame which will go on burning for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:6 @For he will be like the brushwood in the upland, and will not see when good comes; but his living-place will be in the dry places in the waste land, in a salt and unpeopled land.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:8 @For he will be like a tree planted by the waters, pushing out its roots by the stream; he will have no fear when the heat comes, but his leaf will be green; in a dry year he will have no care, and will go on giving fruit.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:13 @O Lord, the hope of Israel, all who give you up will be put to shame; those who go away from you will be cut off from the earth, because they have given up the Lord, the fountain of living waters.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:14 @Make me well, O Lord, and I will be well; be my saviour, and I will be safe: for you are my hope.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:15 @See, they say to me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come now.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:16 @As for me, I have not said; Let the day of trouble come to them quickly; and I have not been hoping for the death-giving day; you have knowledge of what came from my lips; it was open before you.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:17 @Be not a cause of fear to me: you are my safe place in the day of evil.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:18 @Let them be put to shame who are attacking me, but let me not be shamed; let them be overcome with fear, but let me not be overcome: send on them the day of evil, and put them to destruction twice over.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:19 @This is what the Lord has said to me: Go and take your place in the doorway of Benjamin, where the kings of Judah come in and by which they go out, and in all the doorways of Jerusalem;

bbe@Jeremiah:17:20 @And say to them, Give ear to the word of the Lord, you kings of Judah, and all the people of Jerusalem who come in by these doors:

bbe@Jeremiah:17:24 @And it will be, that if with all care you give ear to me, says the Lord, and take no weight through the doorways of this town on the Sabbath day, but keep the Sabbath day holy and do no work in it;

bbe@Jeremiah:17:25 @Then through the doors of this town there will come kings and princes, seated on the seat of David, going in carriages and on horseback, they and their princes, and the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem: and this town will keep its place for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:26 @And they will come from the towns of Judah, and from the places round about Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowlands, and from the mountains, and from the South, with burned offerings and offerings of beasts and meal offerings and perfume and offerings of praise, to the house of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:17:27 @But if you do not give ear to me, to keep the Sabbath day holy, and to let no weight be lifted and taken through the doors of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day: then I will put a fire in its doorways, burning up the great houses of Jerusalem, and it will never be put out.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:18:2 @Up! go down to the potter's house, and there I will let my words come to your ears.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:4 @And when the vessel, which he was forming out of earth, got damaged in the hand of the potter, he made it again into another vessel, as it seemed good to the potter to make it.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:5 @Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:18:11 @Now, then, say to the men of Judah and to the people of Jerusalem, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am forming an evil thing against you, and designing a design against you: let every man come back now from his evil way, and let your ways and your doings be changed for the better.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:14 @Will the white snow go away from the top of Sirion? will the cold waters flowing from the mountains become dry?

bbe@Jeremiah:18:15 @For my people have put me out of their memory, burning perfumes to that which is nothing; and because of this, I will put a cause of falling in their ways, even in the old roads, and will make them go on side-roads, in a way not lifted up;

bbe@Jeremiah:18:16 @Making their land a thing of wonder, causing sounds of surprise for ever; everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, shaking his head.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:18 @Then they said, Come, let us make a design against Jeremiah; for teaching will never be cut off from the priest, or wisdom from the wise, or the word from the prophet. Come, let us make use of his words for an attack on him, and let us give attention with care to what he says.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:19 @Give thought to me, O Lord, and give ear to the voice of those who put forward a cause against me.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:21 @For this cause, let their children be without food, and give them over to the power of the sword; and let their wives be without children and become widows; let their men be overtaken by death, and their young men be put to the sword in the fight.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:22 @Let a cry for help go up from their houses, when you send an armed band on them suddenly: for they have made a hole in which to take me, and have put nets for my feet secretly.

bbe@Jeremiah:18:23 @But you, Lord, have knowledge of all the designs which they have made against my life; let not their evil-doing be covered or their sin be washed away from before your eyes: but let it be a cause of falling before you: so do to them in the time of your wrath.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:1 @This is what the Lord has said: Go and get for money a potter's bottle made of earth, and take with you some of the responsible men of the people and of the priests;

bbe@Jeremiah:19:4 @Because they have given me up, and made this place a strange place, burning perfumes in it to other gods, of whom they and their fathers and the kings of Judah had no knowledge; and they have made this place full of the blood of those who have done no wrong;

bbe@Jeremiah:19:5 @And they have put up the high places of the Baal, burning their sons in the fire; a thing which was not ordered by me, and it was never in my mind:

bbe@Jeremiah:19:6 @For this cause, see, a time is coming, says the Lord, when this place will no longer be named Topheth, or, The valley of the son of Hinnom, but, The valley of Death.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:7 @I will make the purpose of Judah and Jerusalem come to nothing in this place; I will have them put to the sword by their haters, and by the hands of those who have designs on their life; and their dead bodies I will give to be food for the birds of heaven and the beasts of the earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:8 @And I will make this town a thing of wonder and a cause of surprise; everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder and make sounds of surprise, because of all its troubles.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:9 @I will make them take the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters for food, they will be making a meal of one another, because of their bitter need and the cruel grip of their haters and those who have made designs against their life.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:10 @Then let the potter's bottle be broken before the eyes of the men who have gone with you,

bbe@Jeremiah:19:11 @And say to them, This is what the Lord of armies has said: Even so will this people and this town be broken by me, as a potter's bottle is broken and may not be put together again: and the bodies of the dead will be put in the earth in Topheth, till there is no more room.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:13 @And the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which they have made unclean, will be like the place of Topheth, even all the houses on whose roofs perfumes have been burned to all the army of heaven, and drink offerings drained out to other gods.

bbe@Jeremiah:19:14 @Then Jeremiah came from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to give the prophet's word; and he took his place in the open square of the Lord's house, and said to all the people,

bbe@Jeremiah:20:1 @Now it came to the ears of Pashhur, the son of Immer the priest, who was chief in authority in the house of the Lord, that Jeremiah was saying these things;

bbe@Jeremiah:20:2 @And Pashhur gave blows to Jeremiah and had his feet chained in a framework of wood in the higher doorway of Benjamin, which was in the house of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:3 @Then on the day after, Pashhur let Jeremiah loose. Then Jeremiah said to him, The Lord has given you the name of Magor-missabib (Cause-of-fear-on-every-side), not Pashhur.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:4 @For the Lord has said, See, I will make you a cause of fear to yourself and to all your friends: they will come to their death by the sword of their haters, and your eyes will see it: and I will give all Judah into the hands of the king of Babylon, and he will take them away prisoners into Babylon and put them to the sword.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:6 @And you, Pashhur, and all who are in your house, will go away prisoners: you will come to Babylon, and there your body will be put to rest, you and all your friends, to whom you said false words.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:7 @O Lord, you have been false to me, and I was tricked; you are stronger than I, and have overcome me: I have become a thing to be laughed at all the day, everyone makes sport of me.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:8 @For every word I say is a cry for help; I say with a loud voice, Violent behaviour and wasting: because the word of the Lord is made a shame to me and a cause of laughing all the day.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:9 @And if I say, I will not keep him in mind, I will not say another word in his name; then it is in my heart like a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I am tired of keeping myself in, I am not able to do it.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:10 @For numbers of them say evil secretly in my hearing (there is fear on every side): they say, Come, let us give witness against him; all my nearest friends, who are watching for my fall, say, It may be that he will be taken by deceit, and we will get the better of him and give him punishment.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:11 @But the Lord is with me as a great one, greatly to be feared: so my attackers will have a fall, and they will not overcome me: they will be greatly shamed, because they have not done wisely, even with an unending shame, kept in memory for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:12 @But, O Lord of armies, testing the upright and seeing the thoughts and the heart, let me see your punishment come on them; for I have put my cause before you

bbe@Jeremiah:20:13 @Make melody to the Lord, give praise to the Lord: for he has made the soul of the poor man free from the hands of the evil-doers.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:14 @A curse on the day of my birth: let there be no blessing on the day when my mother had me.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:16 @May that man be like the towns overturned by the Lord without mercy: let a cry for help come to his ears in the morning, and the sound of war in the middle of the day;

bbe@Jeremiah:20:17 @Because he did not put me to death before my birth took place: so my mother's body would have been my last resting-place, and she would have been with child for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:20:18 @Why did I come from my mother's body to see pain and sorrow, so that my days might be wasted with shame?

bbe@Jeremiah:21:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, and Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:21:2 @Will you get directions from the Lord for us; for Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, is making war against us; it may be that the Lord will do something for us like all the wonders he has done, and make him go away from us.

bbe@Jeremiah:21:4 @The Lord God of Israel has said, See, I am turning back the instruments of war in your hands, with which you are fighting against the king of Babylon and the Chaldaeans, who are outside the walls and shutting you in; and I will get them together inside this town.

bbe@Jeremiah:21:7 @And after that, says the Lord, I will give up Zedekiah, king of Judah, and his servants and his people, even those in the town who have not come to their end from the disease and the sword and from need of food, into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and into the hands of their haters, and into the hands of those desiring their death: he will put them to the sword; he will not let anyone get away, he will have no pity or mercy.

bbe@Jeremiah:21:9 @He who keeps in this town will come to his death by the sword and through need of food and through disease; but he who goes out and gives himself up to the Chaldaeans who are shutting you in, will go on living, and will keep his life safe.

bbe@Jeremiah:21:13 @See, I am against you, you who are living on the rock of the valley, says the Lord; you who say, Who will come down against us? or who will get into our houses?

bbe@Jeremiah:21:14 @I will send punishment on you in keeping with the fruit of your doings, says the Lord: and I will put a fire in her woodlands, burning up everything round about her

bbe@Jeremiah:22:2 @And say, Give ear to the word of the Lord, O king of Judah, seated on the seat of David, you and your servants and your people who come in by these doors.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:4 @For if you truly do this, then there will come in through the doors of this house kings seated on the seat of David, going in carriages and on horseback, he and his servants and his people

bbe@Jeremiah:22:5 @But if you do not give ear to these words, I give you my oath by myself, says the Lord, that this house will become a waste.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:6 @For this is what the Lord has said about the family of the king of Judah: You are Gilead to me, and the top of Lebanon: but, truly, I will make you waste, with towns unpeopled.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:7 @And I will make ready those who will send destruction on you, everyone armed for war: by them your best cedar-trees will be cut down and put in the fire.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:9 @And they will say, Because they gave up the agreement of the Lord their God, and became worshippers and servants of other gods.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:10 @Let there be no weeping for the dead, and make no songs of grief for him: but make bitter weeping for him who has gone away, for he will never come back or see again the country of his birth.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:11 @For this is what the Lord has said about Shallum, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who became king in place of Josiah his father, who went out from this place: He will never come back there again:

bbe@Jeremiah:22:12 @But death will come to him in the place where they have taken him away prisoner, and he will never see this land again.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:13 @A curse is on him who is building his house by wrongdoing, and his rooms by doing what is not right; who makes use of his neighbour without payment, and gives him nothing for his work;

bbe@Jeremiah:22:20 @Go up to Lebanon and give a cry; let your voice be loud in Bashan, crying out from Abarim; for all your lovers have come to destruction

bbe@Jeremiah:22:21 @My word came to you in the time of your well-being; but you said, I will not give ear. This has been your way from your earliest years, you did not give attention to my voice.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:22 @All the keepers of your sheep will be food for the wind, and your lovers will be taken away prisoners: truly, then you will be shamed and unhonoured because of all your evil-doing.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:23 @O you who are living in Lebanon, making your living-place in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied will you be when pains come on you, as on a woman in childbirth!

bbe@Jeremiah:22:26 @I will send you out, and your mother who gave you birth, into another country not the land of your birth; and there death will come to you.

bbe@Jeremiah:22:27 @But to the land on which their soul's desire is fixed, they will never come back.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:2 @So this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said against the keepers who have the care of my people: You have let my flock be broken up, driving them away and not caring for them; see, I will send on you the punishment for the evil of your doings, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:3 @And I will get the rest of my flock together from all the countries where I have sent them, and will make them come back again to their resting-place; and they will have offspring and be increased.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:4 @And I will put over them keepers who will take care of them: never again will they be overcome with fear or be troubled, and there will not be the loss of one of them, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:6 @In his days Judah will have salvation and Israel will be living without fear: and this is the name by which he will be named, The Lord is our righteousness.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:8 @But, By the living Lord, who took up the seed of Israel, and made them come out of the north country, and from all the countries where I had sent them; and they will be living in the land which is theirs.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:9 @About the prophets. My heart is broken in me, all my bones are shaking; I am like a man full of strong drink, like a man overcome by wine; because of the Lord, and because of his holy words.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:10 @For the land is full of men who are untrue to their wives; because of the curse the land is full of grief; the green fields of the waste land have become dry; and they are quick to do evil, their strength is for what is not right.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:12 @For this cause their steps will be slipping on their way: they will be forced on into the dark and have a fall there: for I will send evil on them in the year of their punishment, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:13 @And I have seen ways without sense in the prophets of Samaria; they became prophets of the Baal, causing my people Israel to go wrong.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:14 @And in the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen a shocking thing; they are untrue to their wives, walking in deceit, and they make strong the hands of evil-doers, so that a man may not be turned back from his evil-doing: they have all become like Sodom to me, and its people like Gomorrah.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:16 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: Do not give ear to the words which the prophets say to you: they give you teaching of no value: it is from themselves that their vision comes, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:17 @They keep on saying to those who have no respect for the word of the Lord, You will have peace; and to everyone who goes on his way in the pride of his heart, they say, No evil will come to you.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:20 @The wrath of the Lord will not be turned back till he has done, till he has put into effect, the purposes of his heart: in days to come you will have full knowledge of this.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:25 @My ears have been open to what the prophets have said, who say false words in my name, saying, I have had a dream, I have had a dream, I have had a dream,

bbe@Jeremiah:23:27 @Whose purpose is to take away the memory of my name from my people by their dreams, of which every man is talking to his neighbour, as their fathers gave up the memory of my name for the Baal.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:29 @Is not my word like fire? says the Lord; and like a hammer, smashing the rock to bits?

bbe@Jeremiah:23:34 @And as for the prophet and the priest and the people who say, A word of weight from the Lord! I will send punishment on that man and on his house.

bbe@Jeremiah:23:39 @For this reason, truly, I will put you completely out of my memory, and I will put you, and the town which I gave to you and to your fathers, away from before my face:

bbe@Jeremiah:23:40 @And I will give you a name without honour for ever, and unending shame which will never go from the memory of men.

bbe@Jeremiah:24:1 @The Lord gave me a vision, and I saw two baskets full of figs put in front of the Temple of the Lord, after Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, had taken prisoner Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, and the chiefs of Judah, and the expert workmen and metal-workers from Jerusalem, and had taken them to Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:24:2 @One basket had very good figs, like the figs which first come to growth: and the other basket had very bad figs, so bad that they were of no use for food.

bbe@Jeremiah:24:3 @Then the Lord said to me, What do you see, Jeremiah? And I said, Figs; the good figs are very good, and the bad very bad, and of no use for food, they are so bad.

bbe@Jeremiah:24:4 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:24:7 @And I will give them a heart to have knowledge of me, that I am the Lord: and they will be my people, and I will be their God: for they will come back to me with all their heart.

bbe@Jeremiah:24:9 @I will give them up to be a cause of fear and of trouble among all the kingdoms of the earth; to be a name of shame and common talk and a cutting word and a curse in all the places wherever I will send them wandering.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah about all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah king of Judah; this was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:3 @From the thirteenth year of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, even till this day, for twenty-three years, the word of the Lord has been coming to me, and I have given it to you, getting up early and talking to you; but you have not given ear.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:5 @Saying, Come back now, everyone from his evil way and from the evil of your doings, and keep your place in the land which the Lord has given to you and to your fathers, from times long past even for ever:

bbe@Jeremiah:25:6 @Do not go after other gods to be their servants and to give them worship, and do not make me angry with the work of your hands, causing evil to yourselves.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:7 @But you have not given ear to me, says the Lord; so that you have made me angry with the work of your hands, causing evil to yourselves.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:9 @See, I will send and take all the families of the north, says the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, my servant, and make them come against this land, and against its people, and against all these nations on every side; and I will give them up to complete destruction, and make them a cause of fear and surprise and a waste place for ever

bbe@Jeremiah:25:12 @And it will come about, after seventy years are ended, that I will send punishment on the king of Babylon, and on that nation, says the Lord, for their evil-doing, and on the land of the Chaldaeans; and I will make it a waste for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:15 @For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said to me: Take the cup of the wine of this wrath from my hand, and make all the nations to whom I send you take of it.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:17 @Then I took the cup from the Lord's hand, and gave a drink from it to all the nations to whom the Lord sent me;

bbe@Jeremiah:25:25 @And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;

bbe@Jeremiah:25:27 @And you are to say to them, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Take of this cup and be overcome, and let it come out again from your lips, and from your fall you will never be lifted up again, because of the sword which I will send among you.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:29 @For see, I am starting to send evil on the town which is named by my name, and are you to be without any punishment? You will not be without punishment: for I will send a sword on all people living on the earth, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:31 @A noise will come, even to the end of the earth; for the Lord has a cause against the nations, he will give his decision against all flesh; as for the evil-doers, he will give them to the sword, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:32 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: See, evil is going out from nation to nation, and a great storm will come up from the inmost parts of the earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:34 @Give cries of grief, you keepers of sheep; give cries for help, rolling yourselves in the dust, you chiefs of the flock: for the days of your destruction have fully come, and I will send you in all directions, and your fall will be like that of the males of the flock.

bbe@Jeremiah:25:38 @The lion has come out of his secret place, for the land has become a waste because of the cruel sword, and because of the heat of his wrath.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:1 @When Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, first became king, this word came from the Lord, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:26:2 @This is what the Lord has said: Take your place in the open square of the Lord's house and say to all the towns of Judah, who come into the Lord's house for worship, everything I give you orders to say to them: keep back not a word;

bbe@Jeremiah:26:4 @And you are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: If you do not give ear to me and go in the way of my law which I have put before you,

bbe@Jeremiah:26:8 @Now, when Jeremiah had come to the end of saying everything the Lord had given him orders to say to all the people, the priests and the prophets and all the people took him by force, saying, Death will certainly be your fate.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:9 @Why have you said in the name of the Lord, This house will be like Shiloh, and this land a waste with no one living in it? And all the people had come together to Jeremiah in the house of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:10 @And the rulers of Judah, hearing of these things, came up from the king's house to the house of the Lord, and took their seats by the new door of the Lord's house.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:12 @Then Jeremiah said to all the rulers and to all the people, The Lord has sent me as his prophet to say against this house and against this town all the words which have come to your ears.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:14 @As for me, here I am in your hands: do with me whatever seems good and right in your opinion.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:15 @Only be certain that, if you put me to death, you will make yourselves and your town and its people responsible for the blood of one who has done no wrong: for truly, the Lord has sent me to you to say all these words in your ears.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:16 @Then the rulers and all the people said to the priests and the prophets, It is not right for this man to be put to death: for he has said words to us in the name of the Lord our God.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:17 @Then some of the responsible men of the land got up and said to all the meeting of the people,

bbe@Jeremiah:26:18 @Micah the Morashtite, who was a prophet in the days of Hezekiah, king of Judah, said to all the people of Judah, This is what the Lord of armies has said: Zion will become like a ploughed field, and Jerusalem will become a mass of broken walls, and the mountain of the house like the high places of the woodland.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:21 @And when his words came to the ears of Jehoiakim the king and all his men of war and his captains, the king would have put him to death; but Uriah, hearing of it, was full of fear and went in flight into Egypt:

bbe@Jeremiah:26:22 @And Jehoiakim the king sent Elnathan, the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt.

bbe@Jeremiah:26:23 @And they took Uriah out of Egypt and came back with him to Jehoiakim the king; who put him to death with the sword, and had his dead body put into the resting-place of the bodies of the common people.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:1 @When Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, first became king this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:27:2 @This is what the Lord has said to me: Make for yourself bands and yokes and put them on your neck;

bbe@Jeremiah:27:3 @And send them to the king of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Zidon, by their servants who come to Jerusalem, to Zedekiah, king of Judah;

bbe@Jeremiah:27:7 @And all the nations will be servants to him and to his son and to his son's son, till the time comes for his land to be overcome: and then a number of nations and great kings will take it for their use.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:8 @And it will come about, that if any nation does not become a servant to this same Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, and does not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, then I will send punishment on that nation, says the Lord, by the sword and need of food and by disease, till I have given them into his hands.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:9 @And you are not to give attention to your prophets or your readers of signs or your dreamers or those who see into the future or those who make use of secret arts, who say to you, You will not become servants of the king of Babylon:

bbe@Jeremiah:27:10 @For they say false words to you, so that you may be sent away far from your land, and so that you may be forced out by me and come to destruction.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:11 @But as for that nation which puts its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and becomes his servant, I will let that nation keep on in its land, farming it and living in it, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:12 @And I said all this to Zedekiah, king of Judah, saying, Put your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon and become his servants and his people, so that you may keep your lives.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:13 @Why are you desiring death, you and your people, by the sword, and because food is gone, and by disease, as the Lord has said of the nation which does not become the servant of the king of Babylon?

bbe@Jeremiah:27:14 @And you are not to give ear to the prophets who say to you, You will not become servants of the king of Babylon: for what they say is not true.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:15 @For I have not sent them, says the Lord, but they are saying what is false in my name, so that I might send you out by force, causing destruction to come on you and on your prophets.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:16 @And I said to the priests and to all the people, This is what the Lord has said: Give no attention to the words of your prophets who say to you, See, in a very little time now the vessels of the Lord's house will come back again from Babylon: for what they say to you is false.

bbe@Jeremiah:27:17 @Give no attention to them; become servants of the king of Babylon and keep yourselves from death: why let this town become a waste?

bbe@Jeremiah:27:20 @Which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, did not take away, when he took Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, a prisoner from Jerusalem to Babylon, with all the great men of Judah and Jerusalem;

bbe@Jeremiah:27:22 @They will be taken away to Babylon, and there they will be till the day when I send their punishment on them, says the Lord. Then I will take them up and put them back in their place.

bbe@Jeremiah:28:1 @And it came about in that year, when Zedekiah first became king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that Hananiah, the son of Azzur the prophet, who came from Gibeon, said to Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, before the priests and all the people,

bbe@Jeremiah:28:2 @These are the words of the Lord of armies, the God of Israel: By me the yoke of the king of Babylon has been broken.

bbe@Jeremiah:28:4 @And I will let Jeconiah, the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, come back to this place, with all the prisoners of Judah who went to Babylon, says the Lord: for I will have the yoke of the king of Babylon broken.

bbe@Jeremiah:28:5 @Then the prophet Jeremiah said to the prophet Hananiah, before the priests and all the people who had come into the house of the Lord,

bbe@Jeremiah:28:6 @The prophet Jeremiah said, So be it: may the Lord do so: may the Lord give effect to the words which you have said, and let the vessels of the Lord's house, and all the people who have been taken away, come back from Babylon to this place.

bbe@Jeremiah:28:8 @The prophets, who were before me and before you, from early times gave word to a number of countries and great kingdoms about war and destruction and disease.

bbe@Jeremiah:28:9 @The prophet whose words are of peace, when his words come true, will be seen to be a prophet whom the Lord has sent.

bbe@Jeremiah:28:12 @Then after the yoke had been broken off the neck of the prophet Jeremiah by Hananiah the prophet, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:28:17 @So death came to Hananiah the prophet the same year, in the seventh month.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:1 @Now these are the words of the letter which Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the responsible men among those who had been taken away, and to the priests and the prophets and to all the rest of the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken away prisoners from Jerusalem to Babylon;

bbe@Jeremiah:29:2 @(After Jeconiah the king and the queen-mother and the unsexed servants and the rulers of Judah and Jerusalem and the expert workmen and the metal-workers had gone away from Jerusalem;)

bbe@Jeremiah:29:6 @Take wives and have sons and daughters, and take wives for your sons, and give your daughters to husbands, so that they may have sons and daughters; and be increased in number there and do not become less.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:9 @For they are saying to you what is false in my name: I have not sent them, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:10 @For this is what the Lord has said: When seventy years are ended for Babylon, I will have pity on you and give effect to my good purpose for you, causing you to come back to this place.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:12 @And you will go on crying to me and making prayer to me, and I will give ear to you.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:13 @And you will be searching for me and I will be there, when you have gone after me with all your heart.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:16 @For this is what the Lord has said about the king who is seated on the seat of David's kingdom, and about all the people living in this town, your countrymen who have not gone out with you as prisoners;

bbe@Jeremiah:29:18 @I will go after them, attacking them with the sword and with need of food and with disease, and will make them a cause of fear to all the kingdoms of the earth, to be a curse and a wonder and a surprise and a name of shame among all the nations where I have sent them:

bbe@Jeremiah:29:21 @This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said about Ahab, the son of Kolaiah, and about Zedekiah, the son of Maaseiah, who are saying to you what is false in my name: See, I will give them up into the hands of Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and he will put them to death before your eyes.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:23 @Because they have done shame in Israel, and have taken their neighbours' wives, and in my name have said false words, which I did not give them orders to say; and I myself am the witness, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:25 @Shemaiah the Nehelamite sent a letter in his name to Zephaniah, the son of Maaseiah the priest, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:29:26 @The Lord has made you priest in place of Jehoiada the priest, to be an overseer in the house of the Lord for every man who is off his head and is acting as a prophet, to put such men in prison and in chains.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:28 @For he has sent to us in Babylon saying, The time will be long: go on building houses and living in them, and planting gardens and using the fruit of them.

bbe@Jeremiah:29:30 @Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the prophet, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:29:32 @For this cause the Lord has said, Truly I will send punishment on Shemaiah and on his seed; not a man of his family will have a place among this people, and he will not see the good which I am going to do to my people, says the Lord: because he has said words against the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:30:3 @For see, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will let the fate of my people Israel and Judah be changed, says the Lord: and I will make them come back to the land which I gave to their fathers, so that they may take it for their heritage.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:5 @This is what the Lord has said: A voice of shaking fear has come to our ears, of fear and not of peace.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:7 @Ha! for that day is so great that there is no day like it: it is the time of Jacob's trouble: but he will get salvation from it.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:8 @For it will come about on that day, says the Lord of armies, that his yoke will be broken off his neck, and his bands will be burst; and men of strange lands will no longer make use of him as their servant:

bbe@Jeremiah:30:10 @So have no fear, O Jacob, my servant, says the Lord; and do not be troubled, O Israel: for see, I will make you come back from far away, and your seed from the land where they are prisoners; and Jacob will come back, and will be quiet and at peace, and no one will give him cause for fear.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:11 @For I am with you, says the Lord, to be your saviour: for I will put an end to all the nations where I have sent you wandering, but I will not put an end to you completely: though with wise purpose I will put right your errors, and will not let you go quite without punishment.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:14 @Your lovers have no more thought for you, they go after you no longer; for I have given you the wound of a hater, even cruel punishment;

bbe@Jeremiah:30:16 @For this cause, all those who take you for their food will themselves become your food; and all your attackers, every one of them, will be taken prisoners; and those who send destruction on you will come to destruction; and all those who take away your goods by force will undergo the same themselves.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:17 @For I will make you healthy again and I will make you well from your wounds, says the Lord; because they have given you the name of an outlaw, saying, It is Zion cared for by no man.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:19 @And from them will go out praise and the sound of laughing: and I will make them great in number, and they will not become less; and I will give them glory, and they will not be small

bbe@Jeremiah:30:20 @And their children will be as they were in the old days, and the meeting of the people will have its place before me, and I will send punishment on all who are cruel to them.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:21 @And their chief will be of their number; their ruler will come from among themselves; and I will let him be present before me, so that he may come near to me: for who may have strength of heart to come near me? says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:30:24 @The wrath of the Lord will not be turned back till he has done, till he has put into effect, the purposes of his heart: in days to come you will have full knowledge of this.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:1 @At that time, says the Lord, I will be the God of all the families of Israel, and they will be my people.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:2 @The Lord has said, Grace came in the waste land to a people kept safe from the sword, even to Israel on the way to his resting-place.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:3 @From far away he saw the Lord: my love for you is an eternal love: so with mercy I have made you come with me.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:4 @I will again make new your buildings, O virgin of Israel, and you will take up your place: again you will take up your instruments of music, and go out in the dances of those who are glad.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:8 @See, I will take them from the north country, and get them from the inmost parts of the earth, and with them the blind and the feeble-footed, the woman with child and her who is in birth-pains together: a very great army, they will come back here.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:9 @They will come with weeping, and going before them I will be their guide: guiding them by streams of water in a straight way where there is no falling: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is the first of my sons.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:12 @So they will come with songs on the high places, flowing together to the good things of the Lord, to the grain and the wine and the oil, to the young ones of the flock and of the herd: their souls will be like a watered garden, and they will have no more sorrow.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:13 @Then the virgin will have joy in the dance, and the young men and the old will be glad: for I will have their weeping turned into joy, I will give them comfort and make them glad after their sorrow.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:14 @I will give the priests their desired fat things, and my people will have a full measure of my good things, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:16 @The Lord has said this: Keep your voice from sorrow and your eyes from weeping: for your work will be rewarded, says the Lord; and they will come back from the land of their hater.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:17 @And there is hope for the future, says the Lord; and your children will come back to the land which is theirs.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:18 @Certainly Ephraim's words of grief have come to my ears, You have given me training and I have undergone it like a young cow unused to the yoke: let me be turned and come back, for you are the Lord my God.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:19 @Truly, after I had been turned, I had regret for my ways; and after I had got knowledge, I made signs of sorrow: I was put to shame, truly, I was covered with shame, because I had to undergo the shame of my early years.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:20 @Is Ephraim my dear son? is he the child of my delight? for whenever I say things against him, I still keep him in my memory: so my heart is troubled for him; I will certainly have mercy on him, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:24 @And Judah and all its towns will be living there together; the farmers and those who go about with flocks.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:25 @For I have given new strength to the tired soul and to every sorrowing soul in full measure.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:26 @At this, awaking from my sleep, I saw; and my sleep was sweet to me.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:28 @And it will come about that, as I have been watching over them for the purpose of uprooting and smashing down and overturning and sending destruction and causing trouble; so I will be watching over them for the purpose of building up and planting, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:31 @See, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will make a new agreement with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah:

bbe@Jeremiah:31:32 @Not like the agreement which I made with their fathers, on the day when I took them by the hand to be their guide out of the land of Egypt; which agreement was broken by them, and I gave them up, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:33 @But this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days, says the Lord; I will put my law in their inner parts, writing it in their hearts; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:34 @And no longer will they be teaching every man his neighbour and every man his brother, saying, Get knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord: for they will have my forgiveness for their evil-doing, and their sin will go from my memory for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:35 @These are the words of the Lord, who has given the sun for a light by day, ordering the moon and stars for a light by night, who puts the sea in motion, causing the thunder of its waves; the Lord of armies is his name.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:36 @If the order of these things before me is ever broken, says the Lord, then will the seed of Israel come to an end as a nation before me for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:37 @This is what the Lord has said: If the heavens on high may be measured, and the bases of the earth searched out, then I will give up the seed of Israel, because of all they have done, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:31:39 @And the measuring-line will go out in front of it as far as the hill Gareb, going round to Goah.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord in the tenth year of Zedekiah, king of Judah, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:2 @Now at that time the king of Babylon's army was round Jerusalem, shutting it in: and Jeremiah the prophet was shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, in the house of the king of Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:6 @And Jeremiah said, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:32:7 @See, Hanamel, the son of Shallum, your father's brother, will come to you and say, Give the price and get for yourself my property in Anathoth: for you have the right of the nearest relation.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:8 @So Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, came to me, as the Lord had said, to the place of the armed watchmen, and said to me, Give the price and get my property which is in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin: for you have the nearest relation's right to the heritage; so get it for yourself. Then it was clear to me that this was the word of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:9 @So I got for a price the property in Anathoth from Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, and gave him the money, seventeen shekels of silver;

bbe@Jeremiah:32:12 @And I gave the paper to Baruch, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, before the eyes of Hanamel, the son of my father's brother, and of the witnesses who had put their names to the paper, and before all the Jews who were seated in the place of the armed watchmen.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:14 @This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Take these papers, the witness of this business, the one which is rolled up and stamped, and the one which is open; and put them in a vessel of earth so that they may be kept for a long time.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:18 @You have mercy on thousands, and send punishment for the evil-doing of the fathers on their children after them: the great, the strong God, the Lord of armies is his name:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:19 @Great in wisdom and strong in act: whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, giving to everyone the reward of his ways and the fruit of his doings:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:20 @You have done signs and wonders in the land of Egypt, and even to this day, in Israel and among other men; and have made a name for yourself as at this day;

bbe@Jeremiah:32:23 @And they came in and took it for their heritage, but they did not give ear to your voice, and were not ruled by your law; they have done nothing of all you gave them orders to do: so you have made all this evil come on them:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:25 @And you have said to me, Give the money to get yourself a property, and have the business witnessed; though the town is given into the hands of the Chaldaeans.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:26 @And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:32:29 @And the Chaldaeans, who are fighting against this town, will come and put the town on fire, burning it together with the houses, on the roofs of which perfumes have been burned to the Baal, and drink offerings have been drained out to other gods, moving me to wrath.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:30 @For the children of Israel and the children of Judah have done nothing but evil in my eyes from their earliest years: the children of Israel have only made me angry with the work of their hands, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:31 @For this town has been to me a cause of wrath and of burning passion from the day of its building till this day, so that I put it away from before my face:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:32 @Because of all the evil of the children of Israel and of the children of Judah, which they have done to make me angry, they and their kings, their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:33 @And they have been turning their backs and not their faces to me: and though I was their teacher, getting up early and teaching them, their ears were not open to teaching.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:34 @But they put their disgusting images into the house which is named by my name, making it unclean.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:35 @And they put up the high places of the Baal in the valley of the son of Hinnom, making their sons and their daughters go through the fire to Molech; which I did not give them orders to do, and it never came into my mind that they would do this disgusting thing, causing Judah to be turned out of the way.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:37 @See, I will get them together from all the countries where I have sent them in my wrath and in the heat of my passion and in my bitter feeling; and I will let them come back into this place where they may take their rest safely.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:39 @And I will give them one heart and one way, so that they may go on in the worship of me for ever, for their good and the good of their children after them:

bbe@Jeremiah:32:40 @And I will make an eternal agreement with them, that I will never give them up, but ever do them good; and I will put the fear of me in their hearts, so that they will not go away from me.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:42 @For the Lord has said: As I have made all this great evil come on this people, so I will send on them all the good which I said about them.

bbe@Jeremiah:32:44 @Men will get fields for money, and put the business in writing, stamping the papers and having them witnessed, in the land of Benjamin and in the country round Jerusalem and in the towns of Judah and in the towns of the hill-country and in the towns of the lowland and in the towns of the South: for I will let their fate be changed, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:1 @Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah the second time, while he was still shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:33:2 @These are the words of the Lord, who is doing it, the Lord who is forming it, to make it certain; the Lord is his name;

bbe@Jeremiah:33:3 @Let your cry come to me, and I will give you an answer, and let you see great things and secret things of which you had no knowledge.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:5 @... and to make them full of the dead bodies of men whom I have put to death in my wrath and in my passion, and because of whose evil-doing I have kept my face covered from this town.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:6 @See, I will make it healthy and well again, I will even make them well; I will let them see peace and good faith in full measure.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:8 @And I will make them clean from all their sin, with which they have been sinning against me; I will have forgiveness for all their sins, with which they have been sinning against me, and with which they have done evil against me.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:9 @And this town will be to me for a name of joy, for a praise and a glory before all the nations of the earth, who, hearing of all the good which I am doing for them, will be shaking with fear because of all the good and the peace which I am doing for it.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:11 @Happy sounds, the voice of joy, the voice of the newly-married man and the voice of the bride, the voices of those who say, Give praise to the Lord of armies, for the Lord is good, for his mercy is unchanging for ever: the voices of those who go with praise into the house of the Lord. For I will let the land come back to its first condition, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:15 @In those days and at that time, I will let a Branch of righteousness come up for David; and he will be a judge in righteousness in the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:16 @In those days, Judah will have salvation and Jerusalem will be safe: and this is the name which will be given to her: The Lord is our righteousness.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:18 @And the priests and the Levites will never be without a man to come before me, offering burned offerings and perfumes and meal offerings and offerings of beasts at all times.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:19 @And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:33:20 @The Lord has said: If it is possible for my agreement of the day and the night to be broken, so that day and night no longer come at their fixed times,

bbe@Jeremiah:33:21 @Then my agreement with my servant David may be broken, so that he no longer has a son to take his place on the seat of the kingdom; and my agreement with the Levites, the priests, my servants.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:22 @As it is not possible for the army of heaven to be numbered, or the sand of the sea measured, so will I make the seed of my servant David, and the Levites my servants.

bbe@Jeremiah:33:23 @And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:33:25 @The Lord has said, If I have not made day and night, and if the limits of heaven and earth have not been fixed by me,

bbe@Jeremiah:33:26 @Then I will give up caring for the seed of Jacob and of David my servant, so that I will not take of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will let their fate be changed and will have mercy on them.

bbe@Jeremiah:34:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, when Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, and all his army, and all the kingdoms of the earth which were under his rule, and all the peoples, were fighting against Jerusalem and all its towns, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:34:4 @But give ear to the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah, king of Judah; this is what the Lord has said about you: Death will not come to you by the sword:

bbe@Jeremiah:34:5 @You will come to your end in peace; and such burnings as they made for your fathers, the earlier kings before you, will be made for you; and they will be weeping for you and saying, Ah lord! for I have said the word, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:34:8 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after King Zedekiah had made an agreement with all the people in Jerusalem, to give news in public that servants were to be made free;

bbe@Jeremiah:34:10 @And this was done by all the rulers and the people who had taken part in the agreement, and every one let his man-servant and his servant-girl go free, not to be used as servants any longer; they did so, and let them go.

bbe@Jeremiah:34:12 @For this reason the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:34:13 @The Lord, the God of Israel, has said, I made an agreement with your fathers on the day when I took them out of Egypt, out of the prison-house, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:34:14 @At the end of seven years every man is to let go his countryman who is a Hebrew, who has become yours for a price and has been your servant for six years; you are to let him go free: but your fathers gave no attention and did not give ear.

bbe@Jeremiah:34:15 @And now, turning away from evil, you had done what is right in my eyes, giving a public undertaking for every man to make his neighbour free; and you had made an agreement before me in the house which is named by my name:

bbe@Jeremiah:34:16 @But again you have put shame on my name, and you have taken back, every one his man-servant and his servant-girl, whom you had sent away free, and you have put them under the yoke again to be your servants and servant-girls.

bbe@Jeremiah:34:17 @And so the Lord has said, You have not given ear to me and undertaken publicly, every man to let loose his countryman and his neighbour: see, I undertake to let loose against you the sword and disease and need of food; and I will send you wandering among all the kingdoms of the earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:34:18 @And I will give the men who have gone against my agreement and have not given effect to the words of the agreement which they made before me, when the ox was cut in two and they went between the parts of it,

bbe@Jeremiah:34:20 @Even these I will give up into the hands of their haters and into the hands of those who have designs against their lives: and their dead bodies will become food for the birds of heaven and the beasts of the earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:34:22 @See, I will give orders, says the Lord, and make them come back to this town; and they will make war on it and take it and have it burned with fire: and I will make the towns of Judah waste and unpeopled.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:35:5 @And I put before the sons of the Rechabites basins full of wine and cups, and I said to them, Take some wine.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:11 @But when Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came up into the land, we said, Come, let us go to Jerusalem, away from the army of the Chaldaeans and from the army of the Aramaeans: and so we are living in Jerusalem.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:12 @Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:35:13 @This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Go and say to the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, Is there no hope of teaching you to give ear to my words? says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:14 @The orders which Jonadab, the son of Rechab, gave to his sons to take no wine, are done, and to this day they take no wine, for they do the orders of their father: but I have sent my words to you, getting up early and sending them, and you have not given ear to me.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:15 @And I have sent you all my servants the prophets, getting up early and sending them, saying, Come back, now, every man from his evil way, and do better, and go not after other gods to become their servants, and you will go on living in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers: but your ears have not been open, and you have not given attention to me.

bbe@Jeremiah:35:16 @Though the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have done the orders of their father which he gave them, this people has not given ear to me:

bbe@Jeremiah:35:19 @For this reason the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said, Jonadab, the son of Rechab, will never be without a man to take his place before me.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:1 @Now it came about in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, that this word came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:36:2 @Take a book and put down in it all the words I have said to you against Israel and against Judah and against all the nations, from the day when my word came to you in the days of Josiah till this day.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:6 @So you are to go, reading there from the book, which you have taken down from my mouth, the words of the Lord, in the hearing of the people in the Lord's house, on a day when they go without food, and in the hearing of all the men of Judah who have come out from their towns.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:9 @Now it came about in the fifth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, in the ninth month, that it was given out publicly that all the people in Jerusalem, and all the people who came from the towns of Judah to Jerusalem, were to keep from food before the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:13 @Then Micaiah gave them an account of all the words which had come to his ears when Baruch was reading the book to the people.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:14 @So all the rulers sent Jehudi, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Cushi, to Baruch, saying, Take in your hand the book from which you have been reading to the people and come. So Baruch, the son of Neriah, took the book in his hand and came down to them.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:16 @Now it came about that, after hearing all the words, they said to one another in fear, We will certainly give the king an account of all these words.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:18 @Then Baruch, answering, said, He said all these things to me by word of mouth, and I put them down with ink in the book.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:23 @And it came about that whenever Jehudi, in his reading, had got through three or four divisions, the king, cutting them with his penknife, put them into the fire, till all the book was burned up in the fire which was burning in the fireplace.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:26 @And the king gave orders to Jerahmeel, the king's son, and Seraiah, the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah, the son of Abdeel, to take Baruch the scribe and Jeremiah the prophet: but the Lord kept them safe.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:27 @Then after the book, in which Baruch had put down the words of Jeremiah, had been burned by the king, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:36:29 @And about Jehoiakim, king of Judah, you are to say, This is what the Lord has said: You have put this book into the fire, saying, Why have you put in it that the king of Babylon will certainly come, causing the destruction of this land and putting an end to every man and beast in it?

bbe@Jeremiah:36:31 @And I will send punishment on him and on his seed and on his servants for their evil-doing; I will send on them and on the people of Jerusalem and the men of Judah, all the evil which I said against them, but they did not give ear.

bbe@Jeremiah:36:32 @Then Jeremiah took another book, and gave it to Baruch the scribe, the son of Neriah, who put down in it, from the mouth of Jeremiah, all the words of the book which had been burned in the fire by Jehoiakim, king of Judah: and in addition a number of other words of the same sort.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:1 @And Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, became king in place of Coniah, the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, made king in the land of Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:5 @And Pharaoh's army had come out from Egypt: and the Chaldaeans, who were attacking Jerusalem, hearing news of them, went away from Jerusalem.)

bbe@Jeremiah:37:6 @Then the word of the Lord came to the prophet Jeremiah, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:37:7 @The Lord, the God of Israel, has said: This is what you are to say to the king of Judah who sent you to get directions from me: See, Pharaoh's army, which has come out to your help, will go back to Egypt, to their land.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:8 @And the Chaldaeans will come back again and make war against this town and they will take it and put it on fire.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:10 @For even if you had overcome all the army of the Chaldaeans fighting against you, and there were only wounded men among them, still they would get up, every man in his tent, and put this town on fire.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:11 @And it came about that when the Chaldaean army outside Jerusalem had gone away for fear of Pharaoh's army,

bbe@Jeremiah:37:13 @But when he was at the Benjamin door, a captain of the watch named Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah, who was stationed there, put his hand on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, You are going to give yourself up to the Chaldaeans.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:16 @So Jeremiah came into the hole of the prison, under the arches, and was there for a long time.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:18 @Then Jeremiah said to King Zedekiah, What has been my sin against you or against your servants or against this people, that you have put me in prison?

bbe@Jeremiah:37:19 @Where now are your prophets who said to you, The king of Babylon will not come against you and against this land?

bbe@Jeremiah:37:20 @And now be pleased to give ear, O my lord the king; let my prayer for help come before you, and do not make me go back to the house of Jonathan the scribe, for fear that I may come to my death there.

bbe@Jeremiah:37:21 @Then by the order of Zedekiah the king, Jeremiah was put into the place of the armed watchmen, and they gave him every day a cake of bread from the street of the bread-makers, till all the bread in the town was used up. So Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:1 @Now it came to the ears of Shephatiah, the son of Mattan, and Gedaliah, the son of Pashhur, and Jucal, the son of Shelemiah, and Pashhur, the son of Malchiah, that Jeremiah had said to all the people,

bbe@Jeremiah:38:2 @These are the words of the Lord: Whoever goes on living in this town will come to his death by the sword or through need of food or by disease: but whoever goes out to the Chaldaeans will keep his life out of the power of the attackers and be safe.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:4 @Then the rulers said to the king, Let this man be put to death, because he is putting fear into the hearts of the men of war who are still in the town, and into the hearts of the people, by saying such things to them: this man is not working for the well-being of the people, but for their damage.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:6 @So they took Jeremiah and put him into the water-hole of Malchiah, the king's son, in the place of the armed watchmen: and they let Jeremiah down with cords. And in the hole there was no water, but wet earth: and Jeremiah went down into the wet earth.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:7 @Now it came to the ears of Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, an unsexed servant in the king's house, that they had put Jeremiah into the water-hole; the king at that time being seated in the doorway of Benjamin:

bbe@Jeremiah:38:8 @And Ebed-melech went out from the king's house and said to the king,

bbe@Jeremiah:38:9 @My lord the king, these men have done evil in all they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, whom they have put into the water-hole; and he will come to his death in the place where he is through need of food: for there is no more bread in the town.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:10 @Then the king gave orders to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Take with you three men from here and get Jeremiah out of the water-hole before death overtakes him.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:11 @So Ebed-melech took the men with him and went into the house of the king, to the place where the clothing was kept, and got from there old clothing and bits of old cloth, and let them down by cords into the water-hole where Jeremiah was.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:12 @And Ebed-melech the Ethiopian said to Jeremiah, Put these bits of old cloth under your arms under the cords. And Jeremiah did so.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:13 @So pulling Jeremiah up with the cords they got him out of the water-hole: and Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:14 @Then King Zedekiah sent for Jeremiah the prophet and took him into the rulers' doorway in the house of the Lord: and the king said to Jeremiah, I have a question to put to you; keep nothing back from me.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:15 @Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, If I give you the answer to your question, will you not certainly put me to death? and if I make a suggestion to you, you will not give it a hearing.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:16 @So King Zedekiah gave his oath to Jeremiah secretly, saying, By the living Lord, who gave us our life, I will not put you to death, or give you up to these men who are desiring to take your life.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:19 @And King Zedekiah said to Jeremiah, I am troubled on account of the Jews who have gone over to the Chaldaeans, for fear that they may give me up to them and they will put me to shame.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:21 @But if you do not go out, this is what the Lord has made clear to me:

bbe@Jeremiah:38:22 @See, all the rest of the women in the house of the king of Judah will be taken out to the king of Babylon's captains, and these women will say, Your nearest friends have been false to you and have got the better of you: they have made your feet go deep into the wet earth, and they are turned away back from you.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:25 @But if it comes to the ears of the rulers that I have been talking with you, and they come and say to you, Give us word now of what you have said to the king and what the king said to you, keeping nothing back and we will not put you to death;

bbe@Jeremiah:38:26 @Then you are to say to them, I made my request to the king, that he would not send me back to my death in Jonathan's house.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:27 @Then all the rulers came to Jeremiah, questioning him: and he gave them an answer in the words the king had given him orders to say. So they said nothing more to him; for the thing was not made public.

bbe@Jeremiah:38:28 @So Jeremiah was kept in the place of the armed watchmen till the day when Jerusalem was taken.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:1 @And it came about, that when Jerusalem was taken, (in the ninth year of Zedekiah, king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, with all his army, came against Jerusalem, shutting it in on every side;

bbe@Jeremiah:39:3 @All the captains of the king of Babylon came in and took their places in the middle doorway of the town, Nergal-shar-ezer, ruler of Sin-magir, the Rabmag, and Nebushazban, the Rab-saris, and all the captains of the king of Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:4 @And when Zedekiah, king of Judah, and all the men of war saw it, they went in flight from the town by night, by the way of the king's garden, through the doorway between the two walls: and they went out by the Arabah.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:6 @Then the king of Babylon put the sons of Zedekiah to death before his eyes in Riblah: and the king of Babylon put to death all the great men of Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:9 @Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away to Babylon as prisoners, all the rest of the workmen who were still in the town, as well as those who had given themselves up to him, and all the rest of the people.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:10 @But Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, let the poorest of the people, who had nothing whatever, go on living in the land of Judah, and gave them vine-gardens and fields at the same time.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:11 @Now Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, gave orders about Jeremiah to Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:39:12 @Take him and keep an eye on him and see that no evil comes to him; but do with him whatever he says to you.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:13 @So Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, sent Nebushazban, the Rab-saris, and Nergal-shar-ezer, the Rabmag, and all the chief captains of the king of Babylon,

bbe@Jeremiah:39:14 @And they sent and took Jeremiah out of the place of the watchmen, and gave him into the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him to his house: so he was living among the people.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:15 @Now the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah while he was shut up in the place of the armed watchmen, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:39:16 @Go and say to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, my words will come true for this town, for evil and not for good: they will come about before your eyes on that day.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:17 @But I will keep you safe on that day, says the Lord: you will not be given into the hands of the men you are fearing.

bbe@Jeremiah:39:18 @For I will certainly let you go free, and you will not be put to the sword, but your life will be given to you out of the hands of your attackers: because you have put your faith in me, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah from the Lord, after Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had let him go from Ramah, when he had taken him; for he had been put in chains, among all the prisoners of Jerusalem and Judah who were taken away prisoners to Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:2 @And the captain of the armed men took Jeremiah and said to him, The Lord your God gave word of the evil which was to come on this place:

bbe@Jeremiah:40:3 @*** and the Lord has made it come, and has done as he said; because of your sin against the Lord in not giving ear to his voice; and that is why this thing has come on you.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:4 @Now see, this day I am freeing you from the chains which are on your hands. If it seems good to you to come with me to Babylon, then come, and I will keep an eye on you; but if it does not seem good to you to come with me to Babylon, then do not come: see, all the land is before you; if it seems good and right to you to go on living in the land,

bbe@Jeremiah:40:5 @Then go back to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has made ruler over the towns of Judah, and make your living-place with him among the people; or go wherever it seems right to you to go. So the captain of the armed men gave him food and some money and let him go.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:7 @Now when it came to the ears of all the captains of the forces who were in the field, and their men, that the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, ruler in the land, and had put under his care the men and women and children, all the poorest of the land, those who had not been taken away to Babylon;

bbe@Jeremiah:40:8 @Then they came to Gedaliah in Mizpah, even Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Seraiah, the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah, the son of the Maacathite, they and their men.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:9 @And Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, took an oath to them and their men, saying, Have no fear of the servants of the Chaldaeans: go on living in the land, and become the servants of the king of Babylon, and all will be well.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:10 @As for me, I will be living in Mizpah as your representative before the Chaldaeans who come to us: but you are to get in your wine and summer fruits and oil and put them in your vessels, and make living-places for yourselves in the towns which you have taken.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:11 @In the same way, when all the Jews who were in Moab and among the children of Ammon and in Edom and in all the countries, had news that the king of Babylon had let Judah keep some of its people and that he had put over them Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan;

bbe@Jeremiah:40:12 @Then all the Jews came back from all the places to which they had gone in flight, and came to the land of Judah, to Gedaliah, to Mizpah, and got in a great store of wine and summer fruit.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:13 @Now Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were in the field, came to Gedaliah in Mizpah,

bbe@Jeremiah:40:14 @And said to him, Has it come to your knowledge that Baalis, the king of the children of Ammon, has sent Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, to take your life? But Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, put no faith in what they said.

bbe@Jeremiah:40:15 @Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, said to Gedaliah in Mizpah secretly, Let me now go and put Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, to death without anyone's knowledge: why let him take your life so that all the Jews who have come together to you may be sent in flight, and the rest of the men of Judah come to an end?

bbe@Jeremiah:41:1 @Now it came about in the seventh month that Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, the son of Elishama, of the king's seed, having with him ten men, came to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, in Mizpah; and they had a meal together in Mizpah.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:2 @Then Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the ten men who were with him, got up, and attacking Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, with the sword, put to death him whom the king of Babylon had made ruler over the land.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:3 @And Ishmael put to death all the Jews who were with him, even with Gedaliah, at Mizpah, and the Chaldaean men of war.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:5 @Some people came from Shechem, from Shiloh and Samaria, eighty men, with the hair of their faces cut off and their clothing out of order, and with cuts on their bodies, and in their hands meal offerings and perfumes which they were taking to the house of the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:6 @And Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, went out from Mizpah with the purpose of meeting them, weeping on his way: and it came about that when he was face to face with them he said, Come to Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:7 @And when they came inside the town, Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and the men who were with him, put them to death and put their bodies into a deep hole.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:8 @But there were ten men among them who said to Ishmael, Do not put us to death, for we have secret stores, in the country, of grain and oil and honey. So he did not put them to death with their countrymen.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:9 @Now the hole into which Ishmael had put the dead bodies of the men whom he had put to death, was the great hole which Asa the king had made for fear of Baasha, king of Israel: and Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, made it full of the bodies of those who had been put to death.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:10 @Then Ishmael took away as prisoners all the rest of the people who were in Mizpah, the king's daughters and all the people still in Mizpah, whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had put under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam: Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, took them away prisoners with the purpose of going over to the children of Ammon.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:11 @But when Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the armed forces who were with him, had news of all the evil which Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had done,

bbe@Jeremiah:41:12 @They took their men and went out to make war on Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, and they came face to face with him by the great waters in Gibeon.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:14 @And all the people whom Ishmael had taken away prisoners from Mizpah, turning round, came back and went to Johanan, the son of Kareah.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:15 @But Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, got away from Johanan, with eight men, and went to the children of Ammon.

bbe@Jeremiah:41:16 @Then Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces who were with him, took all the rest of the people whom Ishmael, the son of Nethaniah, had made prisoners, after he had put to death Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the people from Mizpah, that is, the men of war and the women and the children and the unsexed servants, whom he had taken back with him from Gibeon:

bbe@Jeremiah:42:1 @Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah, the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least to the greatest, came near,

bbe@Jeremiah:42:2 @And said to Jeremiah the prophet, Let our request come before you, and make prayer for us to the Lord your God, even for this small band of us; for we are only a small band out of what was a great number, as your eyes may see:

bbe@Jeremiah:42:7 @And it came about that after ten days the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.

bbe@Jeremiah:42:9 @And said to them, These are the words of the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to put your request before him:

bbe@Jeremiah:42:12 @And I will have mercy on you, so that he may have mercy on you and let you go back to your land.

bbe@Jeremiah:42:16 @Then it will come about that the sword, which is the cause of your fear, will overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and need of food, which you are fearing, will go after you there in Egypt; and there death will come to you.

bbe@Jeremiah:42:17 @Such will be the fate of all the men whose minds are fixed on going into Egypt and stopping there; they will come to their end by the sword, by being short of food, and by disease: not one of them will keep his life or get away from the evil which I will send on them.

bbe@Jeremiah:42:18 @For this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: As my wrath and passion have been let loose on the people of Jerusalem, so will my passion be let loose on you when you go into Egypt: and you will become an oath and a cause of wonder and a curse and a name of shame; and you will never see this place again.

bbe@Jeremiah:42:20 @For you have been acting with deceit in your hearts; for you sent me to the Lord your God, saying, Make prayer for us to the Lord our God, and give us word of everything he may say, and we will do it.

bbe@Jeremiah:42:21 @And this day I have made it clear to you, and you have not given ear to the voice of the Lord your God in anything for which he has sent me to you.

bbe@Jeremiah:42:22 @And now be certain that you will come to your end by the sword and by being short of food and by disease, in the place to which you are pleased to go for a living-place.

bbe@Jeremiah:43:1 @And it came about that when Jeremiah had come to the end of giving all the people the words of the Lord their God, which the Lord their God had sent him to say to them, even all these words,

bbe@Jeremiah:43:2 @Then Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the men of pride, said to Jeremiah, You have said what is false: the Lord our God has not sent you to say, You are not to go into the land of Egypt and make your living-place there:

bbe@Jeremiah:43:5 @But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces took all the rest of Judah who had come back into the land of Judah from all the nations where they had been forced to go;

bbe@Jeremiah:43:6 @The men and the women and the children and the king's daughters, and every person whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, had put under the care of Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch, the son of Neriah;

bbe@Jeremiah:43:7 @And they came into the land of Egypt; for they did not give ear to the voice of the Lord: and they came to Tahpanhes.

bbe@Jeremiah:43:8 @Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:43:9 @Take in your hand some great stones, and put them in a safe place in the paste in the brickwork which is at the way into Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes, before the eyes of the men of Judah;

bbe@Jeremiah:43:11 @And he will come and overcome the land of Egypt; those who are for death will be put to death, those who are to be prisoners will be made prisoners, and those who are for the sword will be given to the sword.

bbe@Jeremiah:43:13 @And the stone pillars of Beth-shemesh in the land of Egypt will be broken by him, and the houses of the gods of Egypt burned with fire.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:1 @The word which came to Jeremiah about all the Jews who were living in the land of Egypt, in Migdol and at Tahpanhes and at Noph and in the country of Pathros, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:44:3 @Because of the evil which they have done, moving me to wrath by burning perfumes in worship to other gods, who were not their gods or yours or the gods of their fathers.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:4 @And I sent all my servants the prophets to you, getting up early and sending them, saying, Do not do this disgusting thing which is hated by me.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:5 @But they gave no attention, and their ears were not open so that they might be turned from their evil-doing and from burning perfume to other gods.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:8 @Moving me to wrath with the work of your hands, burning perfumes to other gods in the land of Egypt, where you have gone to make a place for yourselves, so that you may become a curse and a name of shame among all the nations of the earth?

bbe@Jeremiah:44:9 @Have you no memory of the evil-doing of your fathers, and the evil-doing of the kings of Judah, and the evil-doing of their wives, and the evil which you yourselves have done, and the evil which your wives have done, in the land of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem?

bbe@Jeremiah:44:12 @And I will take the last of Judah, whose minds are fixed on going into the land of Egypt and stopping there, and they will all come to their end, falling in the land of Egypt by the sword and by being short of food and by disease; death will overtake them, from the least to the greatest, death by the sword and by need of food: they will become an oath and a cause of wonder and a curse and a name of shame.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:13 @For I will send punishment on those who are living in the land of Egypt, as I have sent punishment on Jerusalem, by the sword and by need of food and by disease:

bbe@Jeremiah:44:14 @So that not one of the rest of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt and are living there, will get away or keep his life, to come back to the land of Judah where they are hoping to come back and be living again: for not one will come back, but only those who are able to get away.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:15 @Then all the men who had knowledge that their wives were burning perfumes to other gods, and all the women who were present, a great meeting, answering Jeremiah, said,

bbe@Jeremiah:44:16 @As for the word which you have said to us in the name of the Lord, we will not give ear to you.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:17 @But we will certainly do every word which has gone out of our mouths, burning perfumes to the queen of heaven and draining out drink offerings to her as we did, we and our fathers and our kings and our rulers, in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then we had food enough and did well and saw no evil.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:18 @But from the time when we gave up burning perfumes to the queen of heaven and draining out drink offerings to her, we have been in need of all things, and have been wasted by the sword and by need of food.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:19 @And the women said, When we were burning perfumes to the queen of heaven and draining out drink offerings to her, did we make cakes in her image and give her our drink offerings without the knowledge of our husbands?

bbe@Jeremiah:44:20 @Then Jeremiah said to all the people, to the men and women and all the people who had given him that answer,

bbe@Jeremiah:44:21 @The perfumes which you have been burning in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and your fathers and your kings and your rulers and the people of the land, had the Lord no memory of them, and did he not keep them in mind?

bbe@Jeremiah:44:22 @And the Lord was no longer able to put up with the evil of your doings and the disgusting things you did; and because of this your land has become a waste and a cause of wonder and a curse, with no one living in it, as at this day.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:23 @Because you have been burning perfumes, and sinning against the Lord, and have not given ear to the voice of the Lord, or gone in the way of his law or his rules or his orders; for this reason this evil has come on you, as it is today.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:24 @Further, Jeremiah said to all the people and all the women, Give ear to the word of the Lord, all those of Judah who are living in Egypt:

bbe@Jeremiah:44:25 @This is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: You women have said with your mouths, and with your hands you have done what you said, We will certainly give effect to the oaths we have made, to have perfumes burned to the queen of heaven and drink offerings drained out to her: then give effect to your oaths and do them.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:26 @And now give ear to the word of the Lord, all you of Judah who are living in the land of Egypt: Truly, I have taken an oath by my great name, says the Lord, that my name is no longer to be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, By the life of the Lord God.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:27 @See, I am watching over them for evil and not for good: all the men of Judah who are in the land of Egypt will be wasted by the sword and by need of food till there is an end of them.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:28 @And those who get away safe from the sword will come back from the land of Egypt to the land of Judah, a very small number; and all the rest of Judah, who have gone into the land of Egypt and are living there, will see whose word has effect, mine or theirs.

bbe@Jeremiah:44:29 @And this will be the sign to you, says the Lord, that I will give you punishment in this place, so that you may see that my words will certainly have effect against you for evil:

bbe@Jeremiah:45:3 @You said, Sorrow is mine! for the Lord has given me sorrow in addition to my pain; I am tired with the sound of my sorrow, and I get no rest.

bbe@Jeremiah:45:4 @This is what you are to say to him: The Lord has said, Truly, the building which I put up will be broken down, and that which was planted by me will be uprooted, and this through all the land;

bbe@Jeremiah:46:1 @The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet about the nations.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:2 @Of Egypt: about the army of Pharaoh-neco, king of Egypt, which was by the river Euphrates in Carchemish, which Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, overcame in the fourth year of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:3 @Get out the breastplate and body-cover, and come together to the fight.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:4 @Make the horses ready, and get up, you horsemen, and take your places with your head-dresses; make the spears sharp and put on the breastplates.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:5 @What have I seen? they are overcome with fear and turned back; their men of war are broken and have gone in flight, not looking back: fear is on every side, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:9 @Go up, you horses; go rushing on, you carriages of war; go out, you men of war: Cush and Put, gripping the body-cover, and the Ludim, with bent bows.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:10 @But that day is the day of the Lord, the Lord of armies, a day of punishment when he will take payment from his haters: and the sword will have all its desire, drinking their blood in full measure: for there is an offering to the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the north country by the river Euphrates.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:11 @Go up to Gilead and take sweet oil, O virgin daughter of Egypt: there is no help in all your medical arts; nothing will make you well.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:12 @Your shame has come to the ears of the nations, and the earth is full of your cry: for the strong man is falling against the strong, they have come down together.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:13 @The word which the Lord said to Jeremiah the prophet, of how Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, would come and make war on the land of Egypt.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:17 @Give a name to Pharaoh, king of Egypt: A noise who has let the time go by.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:18 @By my life, says the King, whose name is the Lord of armies, truly, like Tabor among the mountains and like Carmel by the sea, so will he come.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:19 @O daughter living in Egypt, make ready the vessels of a prisoner: for Noph will become a waste, it will be burned up and become unpeopled.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:20 @Egypt is a fair young cow; but a biting insect has come on her out of the north.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:21 @And those who were her fighters for payment are like fat oxen; for they are turned back, they have gone in flight together, they do not keep their place: for the day of their fate has come on them, the time of their punishment.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:22 @She makes a sound like the hiss of a snake when they come on with strength; they go against her with axes, like wood-cutters.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:24 @The daughter of Egypt will be put to shame; she will be given up into the hands of the people of the north.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:25 @The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, I will send punishment on Amon of No and on Pharaoh and on those who put their faith in him;

bbe@Jeremiah:46:27 @But have no fear, O Jacob, my servant, and do not be troubled, O Israel: for see, I will make you come back from far away, and your seed from the land where they are prisoners; and Jacob will come back, and will be quiet and in peace, and no one will give him cause for fear.

bbe@Jeremiah:46:28 @Have no fear, O Jacob, my servant, says the Lord; for I am with you: for I will put an end to all the nations where I have sent you, but I will not put an end to you completely: though with wise purpose I will put right your errors, and will not let you go quite without punishment.

bbe@Jeremiah:47:1 @The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet about the Philistines, before Pharaoh's attack on Gaza.

bbe@Jeremiah:47:5 @The hair is cut off from the head of Gaza; Ashkelon has come to nothing; the last of the Anakim are deeply wounding themselves.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:1 @Of Moab. The Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: Sorrow on Nebo, for it has been made waste; Kiriathaim has been put to shame and is taken: the strong place is put to shame and broken down.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:2 @The praise of Moab has come to an end; as for Heshbon, evil has been designed against her; come, let us put an end to her as a nation. But your mouth will be shut, O Madmen; the sword will go after you.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:5 @For by the slope of Luhith they will go up, weeping all the way; for on the way down to Horonaim the cry of destruction has come to their ears.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:8 @And the attacker will come against every town, not one will be safe; and the valley will be made waste, and destruction will come to the lowland, as the Lord has said.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:9 @Put up a pillar for Moab, for she will come to a complete end: and her towns will become a waste, without anyone living in them.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:11 @From his earliest days, Moab has been living in comfort; like wine long stored he has not been drained from vessel to vessel, he has never gone away as a prisoner: so his taste is still in him, his smell is unchanged.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:12 @So truly, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will send to him men who will have him turned over till there is no more wine in his vessels, and his wine-skins will be completely broken.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:13 @And Moab will be shamed on account of Chemosh, as the children of Israel were shamed on account of Beth-el their hope.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:14 @How say you, We are men of war and strong fighters?

bbe@Jeremiah:48:15 @He who makes Moab waste has gone up against her; and the best of her young men have gone down to their death, says the King, whose name is the Lord of armies.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:18 @Come down from your glory, O people of Dibon, and take your seat in the place of the waste; for the attacker of Moab has gone up against you, sending destruction on your strong places.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:20 @Moab has been put to shame, she is broken: make loud sounds of grief, crying out for help; give the news in Arnon, that Moab has been made waste.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:21 @And punishment has come on the lowlands; on Holon and Jahzah, and on Mephaath,

bbe@Jeremiah:48:23 @And on Kiriathaim, and on Beth-gamul, and on Beth-meon,

bbe@Jeremiah:48:31 @For this cause I will give cries of grief for Moab, crying out for Moab, even for all of it; I will be sorrowing for the men of Kir-heres.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:32 @My weeping for you, O vine of Sibmah, will be more than the weeping of Jazer: your branches have gone over the sea, stretching even to Jazer: destruction has come down on your summer fruits and your cut grapes.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:33 @All joy is gone; no longer are they glad for the fertile field and for the land of Moab; I have made the wine come to an end from the crushing vessels: no longer will the grapes be crushed with the sound of glad voices.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:34 @The cry of Heshbon comes even to Elealeh; to Jahaz their voice is sounding; from Zoar even to Horonaim and to Eglath-shelishiyah: for the waters of Nimrim will become dry.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:35 @And I will put an end in Moab, says the Lord, to him who is making offerings in the high place and burning perfumes to his gods.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:36 @So my heart is sounding for Moab like the sound of pipes, and my heart is sounding like pipes for the men of Kir-heres: for the wealth he has got for himself has come to an end.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:39 @How is it broken down! how is Moab's back turned in shame! so Moab will be a cause of sport and of fear to everyone round about him.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:40 @For the Lord has said, See, he will come like an eagle in flight, stretching out his wings against Moab.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:41 @Kerioth is taken, and the strong places have been forced, and the hearts of Moab's men of war in that day will be like the heart of a woman in birth-pains.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:42 @And Moab will come to an end as a people, because he has been lifting himself up against the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:43 @Fear and death and the net have come on you, O people of Moab, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:44 @He who goes in flight from the fear will be overtaken by death; and he who gets free from death will be taken in the net: for I will make this come on Moab, even the year of their punishment, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:45 @Those who went in flight from the fear are waiting under the shade of Heshbon: for a fire has gone out from Heshbon and a flame from the house of Sihon, burning up the pride of Moab and the crown of the head of the violent ones.

bbe@Jeremiah:48:46 @Sorrow is yours, O Moab! the people of Chemosh are overcome: for your sons have been taken away as prisoners, and your daughters made servants.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:2 @Because of this, see, the days are coming when I will have a cry of war sounded against Rabbah, the town of the children of Ammon; it will become a waste of broken walls, and her daughter-towns will be burned with fire: then Israel will take the heritage of those who took his heritage, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:4 @Why are you lifted up in pride on account of your valleys, your flowing valley, O daughter ever turning away? who puts her faith in her wealth, saying, Who will come against me?

bbe@Jeremiah:49:7 @About Edom. This is what the Lord of armies has said. Is there no more wisdom in Teman? have wise suggestions come to an end among men of good sense? has their wisdom completely gone?

bbe@Jeremiah:49:8 @Go in flight, go back, take cover in deep places, you who are living in Dedan; for I will send the fate of Edom on him, even the time of his punishment.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:9 @If men came to get your grapes, would they not let some be uncut on the vines? if thieves came by night, would they not make waste till they had enough?

bbe@Jeremiah:49:10 @I have had Esau searched out, uncovering his secret places, so that he may not keep himself covered: his seed is wasted and has come to an end, and there is no help from his neighbours.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:11 @Put in my care your children who have no father, and I will keep them safe; and let your widows put their faith in me.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:12 @For the Lord has said, Those for whom the cup was not made ready will certainly be forced to take of it; and are you to go without punishment? you will not be without punishment, but will certainly be forced to take from the cup.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:13 @For I have taken an oath by myself, says the Lord, that Bozrah will become a cause of wonder, a name of shame, a waste and a curse; and all its towns will be waste places for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:14 @Word has come to me from the Lord, and a representative has been sent to the nations, to say, Come together and go up against her, and take your places for the fight.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:15 @For see, I have made you small among the nations, looked down on by men.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:16 @... the pride of your heart has been a false hope, O you who are living in the cracks of the rock, keeping your place on the top of the hill: even if you made your living-place as high as the eagle, I would make you come down, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:19 @See, he will come up like a lion from the thick growth of Jordan against the resting-place of Teman: but I will suddenly make him go in flight from her; and I will put over her the man of my selection: for who is like me? and who will put forward his cause against me? and what keeper of sheep will be able to keep his place before me?

bbe@Jeremiah:49:22 @See, he will come up like an eagle in flight, stretching out his wings against Bozrah: and the hearts of Edom's men of war on that day will be like the heart of a woman in birth-pains.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:23 @About Damascus. Hamath is put to shame, and Arpad; for the word of evil has come to their ears, their heart in its fear is turned to water, it will not be quiet.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:24 @Damascus has become feeble, she is turned to flight, fear has taken her in its grip: pain and sorrows have come on her, as on a woman in birth-pains.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:28 @About Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, overcame. This is what the Lord has said: Up! go against Kedar, and make an attack on the children of the east.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:29 @Their tents and their flocks they will take; they will take away for themselves their curtains and all their vessels and their camels: they will give a cry to them, Fear on every side.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:32 @And their camels will be taken from them by force, and their great herds will come into the hands of their attackers: those who have the ends of their hair cut I will send in flight to all the winds; and I will send their fate on them from every side, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:34 @The word of the Lord which came to Jeremiah the prophet about Elam, when Zedekiah first became king of Judah, saying,

bbe@Jeremiah:49:36 @And I will send on Elam four winds from the four quarters of heaven, driving them out to all those winds; there will be no nation into which the wanderers from Elam do not come.

bbe@Jeremiah:49:39 @But it will come about that, in the last days, I will let the fate of Elam be changed, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:2 @Give it out among the nations, make it public, and let the flag be lifted up; give the word and keep nothing back; say, Babylon is taken, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is broken, her images are put to shame, her gods are broken.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:4 @In those days and in that time, says the Lord, the children of Israel will come, they and the children of Judah together; they will go on their way weeping and making prayer to the Lord their God.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:5 @They will be questioning about the way to Zion, with their faces turned in its direction, saying, Come, and be united to the Lord in an eternal agreement which will be kept in mind for ever.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:6 @My people have been wandering sheep: their keepers have made them go out of the right way, turning them loose on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, having no memory of their resting-place.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:7 @They have been attacked by all those who came across them: and their attackers said, We are doing no wrong, because they have done evil against the Lord in whom is righteousness, against the Lord, the hope of their fathers.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:9 @For see, I am moving and sending up against Babylon a band of great nations from the north country: and they will put their armies in position against her; and from there she will be taken: their arrows will be like those of an expert man of war; not one will come back without getting its mark.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:10 @And the wealth of Chaldaea will come into the hands of her attackers: all those who take her wealth will have enough, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:12 @Your mother will be put to shame; she who gave you birth will be looked down on: see, she will be the last of the nations, a waste place, a dry and unwatered land.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:13 @Because of the wrath of the Lord no one will be living in it, and it will be quite unpeopled: everyone who goes by Babylon will be overcome with wonder, and make sounds of fear at all her punishments.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:14 @Put your armies in position against Babylon on every side, all you bowmen; let loose your arrows at her, not keeping any back: for she has done evil against the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:15 @Give a loud cry against her on every side; she has given herself up, her supports are overturned, her walls are broken down: for it is the payment taken by the Lord; give her payment; as she has done, so do to her.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:16 @Let the planter of seed be cut off from Babylon, and everyone using the curved blade at the time of the grain-cutting: for fear of the cruel sword, everyone will be turned to his people, everyone will go in flight to his land.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:18 @So this is what the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, has said: See, I will send punishment on the king of Babylon and on his land, as I have given punishment to the king of Assyria.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:19 @And I will make Israel come back to his resting-place, and he will get his food on Carmel and Bashan, and have his desire in full measure on the hills of Ephraim and in Gilead.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:20 @In those days and in that time, says the Lord, when the evil-doing of Israel is looked for, there will be nothing; and in Judah no sins will be seen: for I will have forgiveness for those whom I will keep safe.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:21 @Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the people of Pekod; put them to death and send destruction after them, says the Lord, and do everything I have given you orders to do.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:23 @How is the hammer of all the earth cut in two and broken! how has Babylon become a waste among the nations!

bbe@Jeremiah:50:25 @From his store-house the Lord has taken the instruments of his wrath: for the Lord, the Lord of armies, has a work to do in the land of the Chaldaeans.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:26 @Come up against her one and all, let her store-houses be broken open: make her into a mass of stones, give her to the curse, till there is nothing of her to be seen.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:27 @Put all her oxen to the sword; let them go down to death: sorrow is theirs, for their day has come, the time of their punishment.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:28 @The voice of those who are in flight, who have got away safe from the land of Babylon, to give news in Zion of punishment from the Lord our God, even payment for his Temple.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:29 @Send for the archers to come together against Babylon, all the bowmen; put up your tents against her on every side; let no one get away: give her the reward of her work; as she has done, so do to her: for she has been uplifted in pride against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:30 @For this cause her young men will be falling in her streets, and all her men of war will be cut off in that day, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:31 @See, I am against you, O pride, says the Lord, the Lord of armies, for your day has come, the time when I will send punishment on you.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:32 @And pride will go with uncertain steps and have a fall, and there will be no one to come to his help: and I will put a fire in his towns, burning up everything round about him.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:34 @Their saviour is strong; the Lord of armies is his name: he will certainly take up their cause, so that he may give rest to the earth and trouble to the people of Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:35 @A sword is on the Chaldaeans, says the Lord, and on the people of Babylon, and on her rulers and on her wise men.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:36 @A sword is on the men of pride, and they will become foolish: a sword is on her men of war, and they will be broken.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:37 @A sword is on all the mixed people in her, and they will become like women: a sword is on her store-houses, and they will be taken by her attackers.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:39 @For this reason the beasts of the waste land with the wolves will make their holes there and the ostriches will be living in it: never again will men be living there, it will be unpeopled from generation to generation.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:42 @Bows and spears are in their hands; they are cruel and have no mercy; their voice is like the thunder of the sea, and they go on horses; everyone in his place like men going to the fight, against you, O daughter of Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:43 @The king of Babylon has had news of them, and his hands have become feeble: trouble has come on him and pain like the pain of a woman in childbirth.

bbe@Jeremiah:50:44 @See, he will come up like a lion from the thick growth of Jordan against the resting-place of Teman: but I will suddenly make them go in flight from her; and I will put over her the man of my selection: for who is like me? and who will put forward his cause against me? and what keeper of sheep will keep his place before me?

bbe@Jeremiah:50:46 @At the cry, Babylon is taken! the earth is shaking, and the cry comes to the ears of the nations.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:1 @The Lord has said: See, I will make a wind of destruction come up against Babylon and against those who are living in Chaldaea;

bbe@Jeremiah:51:2 @And I will send men to Babylon to make her clean and get her land cleared: for in the day of trouble they will put up their tents against her on every side.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:3 @Against her the bow of the archer is bent, and he puts on his coat of metal: have no mercy on her young men, give all her army up to the curse.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:6 @Go in flight out of Babylon, so that every man may keep his life; do not be cut off in her evil-doing: for it is the time of the Lord's punishment; he will give her her reward.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:7 @Babylon has been a gold cup in the hand of the Lord, which has made all the earth overcome with wine: the nations have taken of her wine, and for this cause the nations have gone off their heads.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:9 @We would have made Babylon well, but she is not made well: give her up, and let us go everyone to his country: for her punishment is stretching up to heaven, and lifted up even to the skies.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:10 @The Lord has made clear our righteousness: come, and let us give an account in Zion of the work of the Lord our God.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:11 @Make bright the arrows; take up the body-covers: the Lord has been moving the spirit of the king of the Medes; because his design against Babylon is its destruction: for it is the punishment from the Lord, the payment for his Temple.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:12 @Let the flag be lifted up against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, put the watchmen in their places, make ready a surprise attack: for it is the Lord's purpose, and he has done what he said about the people of Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:13 @O you whose living-place is by the wide waters, whose stores are great, your end is come, your evil profit is ended.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:14 @The Lord of armies has taken an oath by himself, saying, Truly, I will make you full with men as with locusts, and their voices will be loud against you.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:16 @At the sound of his voice there is a massing of the waters in the heavens, and he makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes the thunder-flames for the rain and sends out the wind from his store-houses.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:17 @Then every man becomes like a beast without knowledge; every gold-worker is put to shame by the image he has made: for his metal image is deceit, and there is no breath in them.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:18 @They are nothing, a work of error: in the time of their punishment, destruction will overtake them.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:19 @The heritage of Jacob is not like these; for the maker of all things is his heritage: the Lord of armies is his name.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:20 @You are my fighting axe and my instrument of war: with you the nations will be broken; with you kingdoms will be broken;

bbe@Jeremiah:51:23 @With you the keeper of sheep with his flock will be broken, and with you the farmer and his oxen will be broken, and with you captains and rulers will be broken.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:27 @Let a flag be lifted up in the land, let the horn be sounded among the nations, make the nations ready against her; get the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz together against her, make ready a scribe against her; let the horses come up against her like massed locusts.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:28 @Make the nations ready for war against her, the king of the Medes and his rulers and all his captains, and all the land under his rule.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:30 @Babylon's men of war have kept back from the fight, waiting in their strong places; their strength has given way, they have become like women: her houses have been put on fire, her locks are broken.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:32 @And the ways across the river have been taken, and the water-holes... burned with fire, and the men of war are in the grip of fear.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:33 @For these are the words of the Lord of armies, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a grain-floor when it is stamped down; before long, the time of her grain-cutting will come.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:34 @Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, has made a meal of me, violently crushing me, he has made me a vessel with nothing in it, he has taken me in his mouth like a dragon, he has made his stomach full with my delicate flesh, crushing me with his teeth.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:35 @May the violent things done to me, and my downfall, come on Babylon, the daughter of Zion will say; and, May my blood be on the people of Chaldaea, Jerusalem will say.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:36 @For this reason the Lord has said: See, I will give support to your cause, and take payment for what you have undergone; I will make her sea dry, and her fountain without water.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:37 @And Babylon will become a mass of broken walls, a hole for jackals, a cause of wonder and surprise, without a living man in it.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:39 @When they are heated, I will make a feast for them, and overcome them with wine, so that they may become unconscious, sleeping an eternal sleep without awaking, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:41 @How is Babylon taken! and the praise of all the earth surprised! how has Babylon become a cause of wonder among the nations!

bbe@Jeremiah:51:42 @The sea has come up over Babylon; she is covered with the mass of its waves.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:43 @Her towns have become a waste, a dry and unwatered land, where no man has his living-place and no son of man goes by.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:44 @And I will send punishment on Bel in Babylon, and take out of his mouth what went into it; no longer will the nations be flowing together to him: truly, the wall of Babylon will come down.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:46 @So that your hearts may not become feeble and full of fear because of the news which will go about in the land; for a story will go about one year, and after that in another year another story, and violent acts in the land, ruler against ruler.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:47 @For this cause, truly, the days are coming when I will send punishment on the images of Babylon, and all her land will be shamed, and her dead will be falling down in her.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:48 @And the heaven and the earth and everything in them, will make a song of joy over Babylon: for those who make her waste will come from the north, says the Lord.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:50 @You who have got away safe from the sword, go, waiting for nothing; have the Lord in memory when you are far away, and keep Jerusalem in mind.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:51 @We are shamed because bitter words have come to our ears; our faces are covered with shame: for men from strange lands have come into the holy places of the Lord's house.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:52 @For this reason, see, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will send punishment on her images; and through all her land the wounded will be crying out in pain.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:56 @For the waster has come on her, even on Babylon, and her men of war are taken, their bows are broken: for the Lord is a rewarding God, and he will certainly give payment.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:57 @And I will make her chiefs and her wise men, her rulers and her captains and her men of war, overcome with wine; their sleep will be an eternal sleep without awaking, says the King; the Lord of armies is his name.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:58 @The Lord of armies has said: The wide walls of Babylon will be completely uncovered and her high doorways will be burned with fire; so peoples keep on working for nothing, and the weariness of nations comes to an end in the smoke.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:60 @And Jeremiah put in a book all the evil which was to come on Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:51:61 @And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When you come to Babylon, see that you give them all these words;

bbe@Jeremiah:51:63 @And it will be that, when you have come to an end of reading this book, you are to have a stone fixed to it, and have it dropped into the Euphrates:

bbe@Jeremiah:51:64 @And you are to say, So Babylon will go down, never to be lifted up again, because of the evil which I will send on her: and weariness will overcome them. So far, these are the words of Jeremiah.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:1 @Zedekiah was twenty-one years old when he became king; he was king for eleven years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Hamutal, the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:3 @And because of the wrath of the Lord this came about in Jerusalem and Judah, till he had sent them away from before him: and Zedekiah took up arms against the king of Babylon.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:4 @And in the ninth year of his rule, on the tenth day of the tenth month, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, came against Jerusalem with all his army and took up his position before it, building earthworks all round it.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:7 @Then an opening was made in the wall of the town, and all the men of war went in flight out of the town by night through the doorway between the two walls which was by the king's garden; (now the Chaldaeans were stationed round the town:) and they went by the way of the Arabah.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:12 @Now in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, in the nineteenth year of King Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, a servant of the king of Babylon, came into Jerusalem.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:15 @Then Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners the rest of the people who were still in the town, and those who had given themselves up to the king of Babylon, and the rest of the workmen.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:16 @But Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, let the poorest of the land go on living there, to take care of the vines and the fields.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:19 @And the cups and the fire-trays and the basins and the pots and the supports for the lights and the spoons and the wide basins; the gold of the gold vessels, and the silver of the silver vessels, the captain of the armed men took away.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:21 @And as for the pillars, one pillar was eighteen cubits high, and twelve cubits measured all round, and it was as thick as a man's hand: it was hollow.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:22 @And there was a crown of brass on it: the crown was five cubits high, circled with a network and apples all of brass; and the second pillar had the same.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:24 @And the captain of the armed men took Seraiah, the chief priest, and Zephaniah, the second priest, and the three door-keepers;

bbe@Jeremiah:52:25 @And from the town he took the unsexed servant who was over the men of war, and seven of the king's near friends who were in the town, and the scribe of the captain of the army, who was responsible for getting the people of the land together in military order, and sixty men of the people of the land who were in the town.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:26 @These Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took with him to the king of Babylon at Riblah.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:30 @In the twenty-third year of Nebuchadrezzar, Nebuzaradan, the captain of the armed men, took away as prisoners seven hundred and forty-five of the Jews: all the persons were four thousand and six hundred.

bbe@Jeremiah:52:31 @And in the thirty-seventh year after Jehoiachin, king of Judah, had been taken prisoner, in the twelfth month, on the twenty-fifth day of the month, Evil-merodach, king of Babylon, in the first year after he became king, took Jehoiachin, king of Judah, out of prison.

bbe@Lamentations:1:1 @See her seated by herself, the town which was full of people! She who was great among the nations has become like a widow! She who was a princess among the countries has come under the yoke of forced work!

bbe@Lamentations:1:2 @She is sorrowing bitterly in the night, and her face is wet with weeping; among all her lovers she has no comforter: all her friends have been false to her, they have become her haters.

bbe@Lamentations:1:3 @Judah has been taken away as a prisoner because of trouble and hard work; her living-place is among the nations, there is no rest for her: all her attackers have overtaken her in a narrow place.

bbe@Lamentations:1:4 @The ways of Zion are sad, because no one comes to the holy meeting; all her doorways are made waste, her priests are breathing out sorrow: her virgins are troubled, and it is bitter for her.

bbe@Lamentations:1:5 @Those who are against her have become the head, everything goes well for her haters; for the Lord has sent sorrow on her because of the great number of her sins: her young children have gone away as prisoners before the attacker.

bbe@Lamentations:1:6 @And all her glory has gone from the daughter of Zion: her rulers have become like harts with no place for food, and they have gone in flight without strength before the attacker.

bbe@Lamentations:1:7 @Jerusalem keeps in mind, in the days of her sorrow and of her wanderings, all the desired things which were hers in days gone by; when her people came into the power of her hater and she had no helper, her attackers saw their desire effected on her and made sport of her destruction.

bbe@Lamentations:1:8 @Great is the sin of Jerusalem; for this cause she has become an unclean thing: all those who gave her honour are looking down on her, because they have seen her shame: now truly, breathing out grief, she is turned back.

bbe@Lamentations:1:9 @In her skirts were her unclean ways; she gave no thought to her end; and her fall has been a wonder; she has no comforter: see her sorrow, O Lord; for the attacker is lifted up.

bbe@Lamentations:1:10 @The hand of her hater is stretched out over all her desired things; for she has seen that the nations have come into her holy place, about whom you gave orders that they were not to come into the meeting of your people.

bbe@Lamentations:1:11 @Breathing out grief all her people are looking for bread; they have given their desired things for food to give them life: see, O Lord, and take note; for she has become a thing of shame.

bbe@Lamentations:1:12 @Come to me, all you who go by! Keep your eyes on me, and see if there is any pain like the pain of my wound, which the Lord has sent on me in the day of his burning wrath.

bbe@Lamentations:1:13 @From on high he has sent fire into my bones, and it has overcome them: his net is stretched out for my feet, I am turned back by him; he has made me waste and feeble all the day.

bbe@Lamentations:1:14 @A watch is kept on my sins; they are joined together by his hand, they have come on to my neck; he has made my strength give way: the Lord has given me up into the hands of those against whom I have no power.

bbe@Lamentations:1:15 @The Lord has made sport of all my men of war in me, he has got men together against me to send destruction on my young men: the virgin daughter of Judah has been crushed like grapes under the feet of the Lord.

bbe@Lamentations:1:16 @For these things I am weeping; my eye is streaming with water; because the comforter who might give me new life is far from me: my children are made waste, because the hater is strong.

bbe@Lamentations:1:17 @Zion's hands are outstretched; she has no comforter; the Lord has given orders to the attackers of Jacob round about him: Jerusalem has become like an unclean thing among them.

bbe@Lamentations:1:18 @The Lord is upright; for I have gone against his orders: give ear, now, all you peoples, and see my pain, my virgins and my young men have gone away as prisoners.

bbe@Lamentations:1:19 @I sent for my lovers, but they were false to me: my priests and my responsible men were breathing their last breath in the town, while they were looking for food to give them new life.

bbe@Lamentations:1:20 @See, O Lord, for I am in trouble; the inmost parts of my body are deeply moved; my heart is turned in me; for I have been uncontrolled: outside the children are put to the sword, and in the house there is death.

bbe@Lamentations:1:21 @Give ear to the voice of my grief; I have no comforter; all my haters have news of my troubles, they are glad because you have done it: let the day of fate come when they will be like me.

bbe@Lamentations:1:22 @Let all their evil-doing come before you; do to them as you have done to me for all my sins: for loud is the sound of my grief, and the strength of my heart is gone.

bbe@Lamentations:2:1 @How has the daughter of Zion been covered with a cloud by the Lord in his wrath! he has sent down from heaven to earth the glory of Israel, and has not kept in memory the resting-place of his feet in the day of his wrath.

bbe@Lamentations:2:2 @The Lord has given up to destruction all the living-places of Jacob without pity; pulling down in his wrath the strong places of the daughter of Judah, stretching out on the earth the wounded, even her king and her rulers.

bbe@Lamentations:2:3 @In his burning wrath every horn of Israel has been cut off; his right hand has been turned back before the attacker: he has put a fire in Jacob, causing destruction round about.

bbe@Lamentations:2:4 @His bow has been bent for the attack, he has taken his place with his hand ready, in his hate he has put to death all who were pleasing to the eye: on the tent of the daughter of Zion he has let loose his passion like fire.

bbe@Lamentations:2:5 @The Lord has become like one fighting against her, sending destruction on Israel; he has sent destruction on all her great houses, making waste his strong places: increasing the grief and the sorrow of the daughter of Judah.

bbe@Lamentations:2:6 @And he has violently taken away his tent, as from a garden; he has made waste his meeting-place: the Lord has taken away the memory of feast and Sabbath in Zion, and in the passion of his wrath he is against king and priest.

bbe@Lamentations:2:7 @The Lord has given up his altar and has been turned in hate from his holy place; he has given up into the hands of the attacker the walls of her great houses: their voices have been loud in the house of the Lord as in the day of a holy meeting.

bbe@Lamentations:2:8 @It is the Lord's purpose to make waste the wall of the daughter of Zion; his line has been stretched out, he has not kept back his hand from destruction: he has sent sorrow on tower and wall, they have become feeble together.

bbe@Lamentations:2:9 @Her doors have gone down into the earth; he has sent destruction on her locks: her king and her princes are among the nations where the law is not; even her prophets have had no vision from the Lord.

bbe@Lamentations:2:10 @The responsible men of the daughter of Zion are seated on the earth without a word; they have put dust on their heads, they are clothed in haircloth: the heads of the virgins of Jerusalem are bent down to the earth.

bbe@Lamentations:2:11 @My eyes are wasted with weeping, the inmost parts of my body are deeply moved, my inner parts are drained out on the earth, for the destruction of the daughter of my people; because of the young children and babies at the breast who are falling without strength in the open squares of the town.

bbe@Lamentations:2:12 @They say to their mothers, Where is grain and wine? when they are falling like the wounded in the open squares of the town, when their life is drained out on their mother's breast.

bbe@Lamentations:2:13 @What example am I to give you? what comparison am I to make for you, O daughter of Jerusalem? what am I to make equal to you, so that I may give you comfort, O virgin daughter of Zion? for your destruction is great like the sea: who is able to make you well?

bbe@Lamentations:2:14 @The visions which your prophets have seen for you are false and foolish; they have not made clear to you your sin so that your fate might be changed: but they have seen for you false words, driving you away.

bbe@Lamentations:2:15 @All who go by make a noise with their hands at you; they make hisses, shaking their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem, and saying, Is this the town which was the crown of everything beautiful, the joy of all the earth?

bbe@Lamentations:2:16 @All your haters are opening their mouths wide against you; making hisses and whistling through their teeth, they say, We have made a meal of her: certainly this is the day we have been looking for; it has come, we have seen it.

bbe@Lamentations:2:17 @The Lord has done that which was his purpose; he has put into force the orders which he gave in the days which are past; pulling down without pity, he has made your hater glad over you, lifting up the horn of those who were against you.

bbe@Lamentations:2:18 @Let your cry go up to the Lord: O wall of the daughter of Zion, let your weeping be flowing down like a stream day and night; give yourself no rest, let not your eyes keep back the drops of sorrow.

bbe@Lamentations:2:19 @Up! give cries in the night, at the starting of the night-watches; let your heart be flowing out like water before the face of the Lord, lifting up your hands to him for the life of your young children who are falling down, feeble for need of food, at the top of every street.

bbe@Lamentations:2:20 @Look! O Lord, see to whom you have done this! Are the women to take as their food the fruit of their bodies, the children who are folded in their arms? are the priest and the prophet to be put to death in the holy place of the Lord?

bbe@Lamentations:2:21 @The young men and the old are stretched on the earth in the streets; my virgins and my young men have been put to the sword: you have sent death on them in the day of your wrath, causing death without pity.

bbe@Lamentations:2:22 @As in the day of a holy meeting you have made fears come round me on every side, and no one got away or was kept safe in the day of the Lord's wrath: those who were folded in my arms, whom I took care of, have been sent to their destruction by my hater.

bbe@Lamentations:3:1 @I am the man who has seen trouble by the rod of his wrath.

bbe@Lamentations:3:2 @By him I have been made to go in the dark where there is no light.

bbe@Lamentations:3:3 @Truly against me his hand has been turned again and again all the day.

bbe@Lamentations:3:4 @My flesh and my skin have been used up by him and my bones broken.

bbe@Lamentations:3:5 @He has put up a wall against me, shutting me in with bitter sorrow.

bbe@Lamentations:3:6 @He has kept me in dark places, like those who have been long dead.

bbe@Lamentations:3:7 @He has put a wall round me, so that I am not able to go out; he has made great the weight of my chain.

bbe@Lamentations:3:8 @Even when I send up a cry for help, he keeps my prayer shut out.

bbe@Lamentations:3:9 @He has put up a wall of cut stones about my ways, he has made my roads twisted.

bbe@Lamentations:3:10 @He is like a bear waiting for me, like a lion in secret places

bbe@Lamentations:3:11 @By him my ways have been turned on one side and I have been pulled in bits; he has made me waste.

bbe@Lamentations:3:12 @With his bow bent, he has made me the mark for his arrows.

bbe@Lamentations:3:13 @He has let loose his arrows into the inmost parts of my body.

bbe@Lamentations:3:14 @I have become the sport of all the peoples; I am their song all the day.

bbe@Lamentations:3:15 @He has made my life nothing but pain, he has given me the bitter root in full measure.

bbe@Lamentations:3:16 @By him my teeth have been broken with crushed stones, and I am bent low in the dust.

bbe@Lamentations:3:17 @My soul is sent far away from peace, I have no more memory of good.

bbe@Lamentations:3:18 @And I said, My strength is cut off, and my hope from the Lord.

bbe@Lamentations:3:19 @Keep in mind my trouble and my wandering, the bitter root and the poison.

bbe@Lamentations:3:20 @My soul still keeps the memory of them; and is bent down in me.

bbe@Lamentations:3:21 @This I keep in mind, and because of this I have hope.

bbe@Lamentations:3:22 @It is through the Lord's love that we have not come to destruction, because his mercies have no limit.

bbe@Lamentations:3:23 @They are new every morning; great is your good faith.

bbe@Lamentations:3:24 @I said to myself, The Lord is my heritage; and because of this I will have hope in him.

bbe@Lamentations:3:25 @The Lord is good to those who are waiting for him, to the soul which is looking for him.

bbe@Lamentations:3:26 @It is good to go on hoping and quietly waiting for the salvation of the Lord.

bbe@Lamentations:3:27 @It is good for a man to undergo the yoke when he is young.

bbe@Lamentations:3:28 @Let him be seated by himself, saying nothing, because he has put it on him.

bbe@Lamentations:3:29 @Let him put his mouth in the dust, if by chance there may be hope.

bbe@Lamentations:3:30 @Let his face be turned to him who gives him blows; let him be full of shame.

bbe@Lamentations:3:31 @For the Lord does not give a man up for ever.

bbe@Lamentations:3:32 @For though he sends grief, still he will have pity in the full measure of his love.

bbe@Lamentations:3:33 @For he has no pleasure in troubling and causing grief to the children of men.

bbe@Lamentations:3:34 @In a man's crushing under his feet all the prisoners of the earth,

bbe@Lamentations:3:35 @In his turning away the right of a man before the face of the Most High.

bbe@Lamentations:3:36 @In his doing wrong to a man in his cause, the Lord has no pleasure.

bbe@Lamentations:3:37 @Who is able to say a thing, and give effect to it, if it has not been ordered by the Lord?

bbe@Lamentations:3:38 @Do not evil and good come from the mouth of the Most High?

bbe@Lamentations:3:39 @What protest may a living man make, even a man about the punishment of his sin?

bbe@Lamentations:3:40 @Let us make search and put our ways to the test, turning again to the Lord;

bbe@Lamentations:3:41 @Lifting up our hearts with our hands to God in the heavens.

bbe@Lamentations:3:42 @We have done wrong and gone against your law; we have not had your forgiveness.

bbe@Lamentations:3:43 @Covering yourself with wrath you have gone after us, cutting us off without pity;

bbe@Lamentations:3:44 @Covering yourself with a cloud, so that prayer may not get through.

bbe@Lamentations:3:45 @You have made us like waste and that for which there is no use, among the peoples.

bbe@Lamentations:3:46 @The mouths of all our haters are open wide against us.

bbe@Lamentations:3:47 @Fear and deep waters have come on us, wasting and destruction.

bbe@Lamentations:3:48 @Rivers of water are running down from my eyes, for the destruction of the daughter of my people.

bbe@Lamentations:3:49 @My eyes are streaming without stopping, they have no rest,

bbe@Lamentations:3:50 @Till the Lord's eye is turned on me, till he sees my trouble from heaven.

bbe@Lamentations:3:51 @The Lord is unkind to my soul, more than all the daughters of my town.

bbe@Lamentations:3:52 @They who are against me without cause have gone hard after me as if I was a bird;

bbe@Lamentations:3:53 @They have put an end to my life in the prison, stoning me with stones.

bbe@Lamentations:3:54 @Waters were flowing over my head; I said, I am cut off.

bbe@Lamentations:3:55 @I was making prayer to your name, O Lord, out of the lowest prison.

bbe@Lamentations:3:56 @My voice came to you; let not your ear be shut to my breathing, to my cry.

bbe@Lamentations:3:57 @You came near in the day when I made my prayer to you: you said, Have no fear.

bbe@Lamentations:3:58 @O Lord, you have taken up the cause of my soul, you have made my life safe.

bbe@Lamentations:3:59 @O Lord, you have seen my wrong; be judge in my cause.

bbe@Lamentations:3:60 @You have seen all the evil rewards they have sent on me, and all their designs against me.

bbe@Lamentations:3:61 @Their bitter words have come to your ears, O Lord, and all their designs against me;

bbe@Lamentations:3:62 @The lips of those who came up against me, and their thoughts against me all the day.

bbe@Lamentations:3:63 @Take note of them when they are seated, and when they get up; I am their song.

bbe@Lamentations:3:64 @You will give them their reward, O Lord, answering to the work of their hands.

bbe@Lamentations:3:65 @You will let their hearts be covered over with your curse on them.

bbe@Lamentations:3:66 @You will go after them in wrath, and put an end to them from under the heavens of the Lord.

bbe@Lamentations:4:1 @How dark has the gold become! how changed the best gold! the stones of the holy place are dropping out at the top of every street.

bbe@Lamentations:4:2 @The valued sons of Zion, whose price was the best gold, are looked on as vessels of earth, the work of the hands of the potter!

bbe@Lamentations:4:3 @Even the beasts of the waste land have full breasts, they give milk to their young ones: the daughter of my people has become cruel like the ostriches in the waste land.

bbe@Lamentations:4:4 @The tongue of the child at the breast is fixed to the roof of his mouth for need of drink: the young children are crying out for bread, and no man gives it to them.

bbe@Lamentations:4:5 @Those who were used to feasting on delicate food are wasted in the streets: those who as children were dressed in purple are stretched out on the dust.

bbe@Lamentations:4:6 @For the punishment of the daughter of my people is greater than the punishment of Sodom, which was overturned suddenly without any hand falling on her.

bbe@Lamentations:4:7 @Her holy ones were cleaner than snow, they were whiter than milk, their bodies were redder than corals, their form was as the sapphire:

bbe@Lamentations:4:8 @Their face is blacker than night; in the streets no one has knowledge of them: their skin is hanging on their bones, they are dry, they have become like wood.

bbe@Lamentations:4:9 @Those who have been put to the sword are better off than those whose death is caused by need of food; for these come to death slowly, burned up like the fruit of the field.

bbe@Lamentations:4:10 @The hands of kind-hearted women have been boiling their children; they were their food in the destruction of the daughter of my people

bbe@Lamentations:4:11 @The Lord has given full effect to his passion, he has let loose his burning wrath; he has made a fire in Zion, causing the destruction of its bases.

bbe@Lamentations:4:12 @To the kings of the earth and to all the people of the world it did not seem possible that the attackers and the haters would go into the doors of Jerusalem.

bbe@Lamentations:4:13 @It is because of the sins of her prophets and the evil-doing of her priests, by whom the blood of the upright has been drained out in her.

bbe@Lamentations:4:14 @They are wandering like blind men in the streets, they are made unclean with blood, so that their robes may not be touched by men.

bbe@Lamentations:4:15 @Away! unclean! they were crying out to them, Away! away! let there be no touching: when they went away in flight and wandering, men said among the nations, There is no further resting-place for them.

bbe@Lamentations:4:16 @The face of the Lord has sent them in all directions; he will no longer take care of them: they had no respect for the priests, they gave no honour to the old men.

bbe@Lamentations:4:17 @Our eyes are still wasting away in looking for our false help: we have been watching for a nation unable to give salvation.

bbe@Lamentations:4:18 @They go after our steps so that we may not go in our streets: our end is near, our days are numbered; for our end has come.

bbe@Lamentations:4:19 @Those who went after us were quicker than the eagles of the heaven, driving us before them on the mountains, waiting secretly for us in the waste land.

bbe@Lamentations:4:20 @Our breath of life, he on whom the holy oil was put, was taken in their holes; of whom we said, Under his shade we will be living among the nations.

bbe@Lamentations:4:21 @Have joy and be glad, O daughter of Edom, living in the land of Uz: the cup will be given to you in your turn, and you will be overcome with wine and your shame will be seen.

bbe@Lamentations:4:22 @The punishment of your evil-doing is complete, O daughter of Zion; never again will he take you away as a prisoner: he will give you the reward of your evil-doing, O daughter of Edom; he will let your sin be uncovered.

bbe@Lamentations:5:1 @Keep in mind, O Lord, what has come to us: take note and see our shame.

bbe@Lamentations:5:2 @Our heritage is given up to men of strange lands, our houses to those who are not our countrymen.

bbe@Lamentations:5:3 @We are children without fathers, our mothers are like widows.

bbe@Lamentations:5:4 @We give money for a drink of water, we get our wood for a price.

bbe@Lamentations:5:5 @Our attackers are on our necks: overcome with weariness, we have no rest.

bbe@Lamentations:5:6 @We have given our hands to the Egyptians and to the Assyrians so that we might have enough bread.

bbe@Lamentations:5:7 @Our fathers were sinners and are dead; and the weight of their evil-doing is on us.

bbe@Lamentations:5:8 @Servants are ruling over us, and there is no one to make us free from their hands.

bbe@Lamentations:5:9 @We put our lives in danger to get our bread, because of the sword of the waste land.

bbe@Lamentations:5:10 @Our skin is heated like an oven because of our burning heat from need of food.

bbe@Lamentations:5:11 @They took by force the women in Zion, the virgins in the towns of Judah.

bbe@Lamentations:5:12 @Their hands put princes to death by hanging: the faces of old men were not honoured

bbe@Lamentations:5:13 @The young men were crushing the grain, and the boys were falling under the wood.

bbe@Lamentations:5:14 @The old men are no longer seated in the doorway, and the music of the young men has come to an end.

bbe@Lamentations:5:15 @The joy of our hearts is ended; our dancing is changed into sorrow.

bbe@Lamentations:5:16 @The crown has been taken from our head: sorrow is ours, for we are sinners.

bbe@Lamentations:5:17 @Because of this our hearts are feeble; for these things our eyes are dark;

bbe@Lamentations:5:18 @Because of the mountain of Zion which is a waste; jackals go over it.

bbe@Lamentations:5:19 @You, O Lord, are seated as King for ever; the seat of your power is eternal.

bbe@Lamentations:5:20 @Why have we gone from your memory for ever? why have you been turned away from us for so long?

bbe@Lamentations:5:21 @Make us come back to you, O Lord, and let us be turned; make our days new again as in the past.

bbe@Lamentations:5:22 @But you have quite given us up; you are full of wrath against us.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:1 @Now it came about in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, while I was by the river Chebar among those who had been made prisoners, that the heavens were made open and I saw visions of God.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:3 @The word of the Lord came to me, Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldaeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was on me there.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:4 @And, looking, I saw a storm-wind coming out of the north, a great cloud with flames of fire coming after one another, and a bright light shining round about it and in the heart of it was something coloured like electrum.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:13 @And between the living beings it was like burning coals of fire, as if flames were going one after the other between the living beings; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went thunder-flames.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:14 @And the living beings went out and came back as quickly as a thunder-flame.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:16 @The form of the wheels and their work was like a beryl; the four of them had the same form and design, and they were like a wheel inside a wheel.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:21 @When these went on, the others went; and when these came to rest, the others came to rest; and when these were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up by their side: for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:24 @And when they went, the sound of their wings was like the sound of great waters to my ears, like the voice of the Ruler of all, a sound like the rushing of an army: when they came to rest they let down their wings.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:25 @And there was a voice from the top of the arch which was over their heads: when they came to rest they let down their wings.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:27 @And I saw it coloured like electrum, with the look of fire in it and round it, going up from what seemed to be the middle of his body; and going down from what seemed to be the middle of his body I saw what was like fire, and there was a bright light shining round him.

bbe@Ezekiel:1:28 @Like the bow in the cloud on a day of rain, so was the light shining round him. And this is what the glory of the Lord was like. And when I saw it I went down on my face, and the voice of one talking came to my ears.

bbe@Ezekiel:2:1 @And he said to me, Son of man, get up on your feet, so that I may say words to you.

bbe@Ezekiel:2:2 @And at his words the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and his voice came to my ears.

bbe@Ezekiel:2:3 @And he said to me, Son of man, I am sending you to the children of Israel, to an uncontrolled nation which has gone against me: they and their fathers have been sinners against me even to this very day.

bbe@Ezekiel:2:6 @And you, son of man, have no fear of them or of their words, even if sharp thorns are round you and you are living among scorpions: have no fear of their words and do not be overcome by their looks, for they are an uncontrolled people.

bbe@Ezekiel:2:9 @And looking, I saw a hand stretched out to me, and I saw the roll of a book in it;

bbe@Ezekiel:2:10 @And he put it open before me, and it had writing on the front and on the back; words of grief and sorrow and trouble were recorded in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:1 @And he said to me, Son of man, take this roll for your food, and go and say my words to the children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:2 @And, on my opening my mouth, he made me take the roll as food.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:3 @And he said to me, Son of man, let your stomach make a meal of it and let your inside be full of this roll which I am giving you. Then I took it, and it was sweet as honey in my mouth.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:4 @And he said to me, Son of man, go now to the children of Israel, and say my words to them.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:7 @But the children of Israel will not give ear to you; for they have no mind to give ear to me: for all the children of Israel have a hard brow and a stiff heart.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:9 @Like a diamond harder than rock I have made your brow: have no fear of them and do not be overcome by their looks, for they are an uncontrolled people.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:10 @Then he said to me, Son of man, take into your heart all my words which I am about to say to you, and let your ears be open to them

bbe@Ezekiel:3:12 @Then I was lifted up by the wind, and at my back the sound of a great rushing came to my ears when the glory of the Lord was lifted up from his place.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:14 @And the wind, lifting me up, took me away: and I went in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of the Lord was strong on me.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:15 @Then I came to those who had been taken away as prisoners, who were at Telabib by the river Chebar, and I was seated among them full of wonder for seven days.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:16 @And at the end of seven days, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:3:17 @Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the children of Israel: so give ear to the word of my mouth, and give them word from me of their danger.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:18 @When I say to the evil-doer, Death will certainly be your fate; and you give him no word of it and say nothing to make clear to the evil-doer the danger of his evil way, so that he may be safe; that same evil man will come to death in his evil-doing; but I will make you responsible for his blood.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:20 @Again, when an upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, and I put a cause of falling in his way, death will overtake him: because you have given him no word of his danger, death will overtake him in his evil-doing, and there will be no memory of the upright acts which he has done; but I will make you responsible for his blood.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:22 @And the hand of the Lord was on me there; and he said, Get up and go out into the valley and there I will have talk with you.

bbe@Ezekiel:3:24 @Then the spirit came into me and put me on my feet; and he had talk with me and said to me, Go and keep yourself shut up inside your house.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:5 @For I have had the years of their sin measured for you by a number of days, even three hundred and ninety days: and you will take on yourself the sin of the children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:10 @And you are to take your food by weight, twenty shekels a day: you are to take it at regular times

bbe@Ezekiel:4:11 @And you are to take water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: you are to take it at regular times.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:12 @And let your food be barley cakes, cooking it before their eyes with the waste which comes out of a man.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:14 @Then I said, Ah, Lord! see, my soul has never been unclean, and I have never taken as my food anything which has come to a natural death or has been broken by beasts, from the time when I was young even till now; no disgusting flesh has ever come into my mouth.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:15 @Then he said to me, See, I have given you cow's waste in place of man's waste, and you will make your bread ready on it.

bbe@Ezekiel:4:16 @And he said to me, Son of man, see, I will take away from Jerusalem her necessary bread: they will take their bread by weight and with care, measuring out their drinking-water with fear and wonder:

bbe@Ezekiel:5:4 @And again take some of these and put them in the fire, burning them up in the fire; and say to all the children of Israel,

bbe@Ezekiel:5:10 @For this cause fathers will take their sons for food among you, and sons will make a meal of their fathers; and I will be judge among you, and all the rest of you I will send away to every wind.

bbe@Ezekiel:5:11 @For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have made my holy place unclean with all your hated things and all your disgusting ways, you will become disgusting to me; my eye will have no mercy and I will have no pity.

bbe@Ezekiel:5:12 @A third of you will come to death from disease, wasting away among you through need of food; a third will be put to the sword round about you; and a third I will send away to every wind, letting loose a sword after them

bbe@Ezekiel:5:13 @So my wrath will be complete and my passion will come to rest on them; and they will be certain that I the Lord have given the word of decision, when my wrath against them is complete.

bbe@Ezekiel:5:14 @And I will make you a waste and a name of shame among the nations round about you, in the eyes of everyone who goes by.

bbe@Ezekiel:5:15 @And you will be a name of shame and a cause of bitter words, an example and a wonder to the nations round about you, when I give effect to my judging among you in wrath and in passion and in burning protests: I the Lord have said it:

bbe@Ezekiel:6:1 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:6:4 @And your altars will be made waste, and your sun-images will be broken: and I will have your dead men placed before your images.

bbe@Ezekiel:6:6 @In all your living-places the towns will become broken walls, and the high places made waste; so that your altars may be broken down and made waste, and your images broken and ended, and so that your sun-images may be cut down and your works rubbed out.

bbe@Ezekiel:6:9 @And those of you who are kept safe will have me in mind among the nations where they have been taken away as prisoners, how I sent punishment on their hearts which were untrue to me, and on their eyes which were turned to their false gods: and they will be full of hate for themselves because of the evil things which they have done in all their disgusting ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:6:12 @He who is far away will come to his death by disease; he who is near will be put to the sword; he who is shut up will come to his death through need of food; and I will give full effect to my passion against them.

bbe@Ezekiel:6:13 @And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when their dead men are stretched among their images round about their altars on every high hill, on all the tops of the mountains, and under every branching tree, and under every thick oak-tree, the places where they made sweet smells to all their images.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:1 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:7:2 @And you, son of man, say, This is what the Lord has said to the land of Israel: An end has come, the end has come on the four quarters of the land.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:3 @Now the end has come on you, and I will send my wrath on you, judging you for your ways, I will send punishment on you for all your disgusting acts.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:4 @My eye will not have mercy on you, and I will have no pity: but I will send the punishment of your ways on you, and your disgusting works will be among you: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:6 @An end has come, the end has come; see, it is coming on you.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:7 @The crowning time has come on you, O people of the land: the time has come, the day is near; the day will not be slow in coming, it will not keep back.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:8 @Now, in a little time, I will let loose my passion on you, and give full effect to my wrath against you, judging you for your ways, and sending punishment on you for all your disgusting works.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:9 @My eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity: I will send on you the punishment of your ways, and your disgusting works will be among you; and you will see that I am the Lord who gives punishment.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:10 @See, the day; see, it is coming: the crowning time has gone out; the twisted way is flowering, pride has put out buds.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:12 @The time has come, the day is near: let not him who gives a price for goods be glad, or him who gets the price have sorrow:

bbe@Ezekiel:7:15 @Outside is the sword, and inside disease and need of food: he who is in the open country will be put to the sword; he who is in the town will come to his end through need of food and disease.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:16 @And those of them who get away safely will go and be in the secret places like the doves of the valleys, all of them will come to death, every one in his sin

bbe@Ezekiel:7:18 @And they will put haircloth round them, and deep fear will be covering them; and shame will be on all faces, and the hair gone from all their heads.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:20 @As for their beautiful ornament, they had put it on high, and had made the images of their disgusting and hated things in it: for this cause I have made it an unclean thing to them.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:21 @And I will give it into the hands of men from strange lands who will take it by force, and to the evil-doers of the earth to have for themselves; and they will make it unholy.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:22 @And my face will be turned away from them, and they will make my secret place unholy: violent men will go into it and make it unholy.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:23 @Make the chain: for the land is full of crimes of blood, and the town is full of violent acts.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:24 @For this reason I will send the worst of the nations and they will take their houses for themselves: I will make the pride of their strength come to an end; and their holy places will be made unclean.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:26 @Destruction will come on destruction, and one story after another; and the vision of the prophet will be shamed, and knowledge of the law will come to an end among the priests, and wisdom among the old.

bbe@Ezekiel:7:27 @The king will give himself up to sorrow, and the ruler will be clothed with wonder, and the hands of the people of the land will be troubled: I will give them punishment for their ways, judging them as it is right for them to be judged; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:1 @Now in the sixth year, in the sixth month, on the fifth day of the month, when I was in my house and the responsible men of Judah were seated before me, the hand of the Lord came on me there.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:3 @And he put out the form of a hand and took me by the hair of my head; and the wind, lifting me up between the earth and the heaven, took me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the way into the inner door facing to the north; where was the seat of the image of envy.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:5 @Then he said to me, Son of man, now let your eyes be lifted up in the direction of the north; and on looking in the direction of the north, to the north of the doorway of the altar, I saw this image of envy by the way in.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:6 @And he said to me, Son of man, do you see what they are doing? even the very disgusting things which the children of Israel are doing here, causing me to go far away from my holy place? but you will see other most disgusting things.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:7 @And he took me to the door of the open place; and looking, I saw a hole in the wall.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:8 @And he said to me, Son of man, make a hole in the wall: and after making a hole in the wall I saw a door.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:9 @And he said to me, Go in and see the evil and disgusting things which they are doing here.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:11 @And before them seventy of the responsible men of the children of Israel had taken their places, every man with a vessel for burning perfumes in his hand, and in the middle of them was Jaazaniah, the son of Shaphan; and a cloud of smoke went up from the burning perfume.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:12 @And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen what the responsible men of the children of Israel do in the dark, every man in his room of pictured images? for they say, The Lord does not see us; the Lord has gone away from the land.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:13 @Then he said to me, You will see even more disgusting things which they do.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:14 @Then he took me to the door of the way into the Lord's house looking to the north; and there women were seated weeping for Tammuz.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:15 @Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? you will see even more disgusting things than these.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:16 @And he took me into the inner square of the Lord's house, and at the door of the Temple of the Lord, between the covered way and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs turned to the Temple of the Lord and their faces turned to the east; and they were worshipping the sun, turning to the east.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:17 @Then he said to me, Have you seen this, O son of man? is it a small thing to the children of Judah that they do the disgusting things which they are doing here? for they have made the land full of violent behaviour, making me angry again and again: and see, they put the branch to my nose.

bbe@Ezekiel:8:18 @For this reason I will let loose my wrath: my eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity

bbe@Ezekiel:9:1 @Then crying out in my hearing in a loud voice, he said, Let the overseers of the town come near, every man armed.

bbe@Ezekiel:9:2 @And six men came from the way of the higher doorway looking to the north, every man with his axe in his hand: and one man among them was clothed in linen, with a writer's inkpot at his side. And they went in and took their places by the brass altar.

bbe@Ezekiel:9:4 @The Lord said to him, Go through the town, through the middle of Jerusalem, and put a mark on the brows of the men who are sorrowing and crying for all the disgusting things which are done in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:9:5 @And to these he said in my hearing, Go through the town after him using your axes: do not let your eyes have mercy, and have no pity:

bbe@Ezekiel:9:6 @Give up to destruction old men and young men and virgins, little children and women: but do not come near any man who has the mark on him: and make a start at my holy place. So they made a start with the old men who were before the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:9:9 @Then he said to me, The sin of the children of Israel and Judah is very, very great, and the land is full of blood and the town full of evil ways: for they say, The Lord has gone away from the land, and the Lord does not see.

bbe@Ezekiel:9:10 @And as for me, my eye will not have mercy, and I will have no pity, but I will send the punishment of their ways on their heads.

bbe@Ezekiel:9:11 @Then the man clothed in linen, who had the inkpot at his side, came back and said, I have done what you gave me orders to do.

bbe@Ezekiel:10:1 @Then looking, I saw that on the arch which was over the head of the winged ones there was seen over them what seemed like a sapphire stone, having the form of a king's seat.

bbe@Ezekiel:10:4 @And the glory of the Lord went up from the winged ones and came to rest over the doorstep of the house; and the house was full of the cloud and the open square was full of the shining of the Lord's glory.

bbe@Ezekiel:10:7 @And stretching out his hand to the fire which was between the winged ones, he took some of it and went out.

bbe@Ezekiel:10:10 @In form the four of them were all the same, they seemed like a wheel inside a wheel.

bbe@Ezekiel:10:13 @As for the wheels, they were named in my hearing, the circling wheels.

bbe@Ezekiel:10:18 @Then the glory of the Lord went out from the doorstep of the house, and came to rest over the winged ones.

bbe@Ezekiel:10:19 @And the winged ones, lifting up their wings, went up from the earth before my eyes, with the wheels by their side: and they came to rest at the east doorway of the Lord's house; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them on high.

bbe@Ezekiel:10:20 @This is the living being which I saw under the God of Israel by the river Chebar; and it was clear to me that they were the winged ones.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:1 @And the wind, lifting me up, took me to the east doorway of the Lord's house, looking to the east: and at the door I saw twenty-five men; and among them I saw Jaazaniah, the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, rulers of the people.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:2 @Then he said to me, Son of man, these are the men who are designing evil, who are teaching evil ways in this town:

bbe@Ezekiel:11:3 @Who say, This is not the time for building houses: this town is the cooking-pot and we are the flesh.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:5 @And the spirit of the Lord came on me, and he said to me, Say, These are the words of the Lord: This is what you have said, O children of Israel; what comes into your mind is clear to me.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:6 @You have made great the number of your dead in this town, you have made its streets full of dead men.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:7 @For this reason the Lord has said: Your dead whom you have put down in its streets, they are the flesh, and this town is the cooking-pot: but I will make you come out from inside it.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:9 @I will make you come out from inside the town and will give you up into the hands of men from other lands, and will be judge among you.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:10 @You will come to your death by the sword; and I will be your judge in the land of Israel; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:13 @Now while I was saying these things, death came to Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah. Then falling down on my face and crying out with a loud voice, I said, Ah, Lord! will you put an end to all the rest of Israel?

bbe@Ezekiel:11:14 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:11:15 @Son of man, your countrymen, your relations, and all the children of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the people of Jerusalem have said, Go far from the Lord; this land is given to us for a heritage:

bbe@Ezekiel:11:16 @For this reason say, This is what the Lord has said: Though I have had them moved far off among the nations, and though I have sent them wandering among the countries, still I have been a safe place for them for a little time in the countries where they have come.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:17 @Then say, This is what the Lord has said: I will get you together from the peoples, and make you come out of the countries where you have been sent in flight, and I will give you the land of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:18 @And they will come there, and take away all the hated and disgusting things from it.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:20 @So that they may be guided by my rules and keep my orders and do them: and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:21 @But as for those whose heart goes after their hated and disgusting things, I will send on their heads the punishment of their ways, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:23 @And the glory of the Lord went up from inside the town, and came to rest on the mountain on the east side of the town.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:24 @And the wind, lifting me up, took me in the visions of God into Chaldaea, to those who had been taken away as prisoners. So the vision which I had seen went away from me.

bbe@Ezekiel:11:25 @Then I gave an account to those who had been taken prisoners of all the things which the Lord had made me see.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:1 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:12:8 @And in the morning the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:12:13 @And my net will be stretched out on him, and he will be taken in my cords: and I will take him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldaeans; but he will not see it, and there death will come to him

bbe@Ezekiel:12:16 @But a small number of them I will keep from the sword, from the need of food, and from disease, so that they may make clear all their disgusting ways among the nations where they come; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:17 @Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:12:20 @And the peopled towns will be made waste, and the land will become a wonder; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:21 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:12:22 @Son of man, what is this saying which you have about the land of Israel, The time is long and every vision comes to nothing?

bbe@Ezekiel:12:23 @For this cause say to them, This is what the Lord has said: I have made this saying come to an end, and it will no longer be used as a common saying in Israel; but say to them, The days are near, and the effect of every vision.

bbe@Ezekiel:12:26 @Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:12:27 @Son of man, see, the children of Israel say, The vision which he sees is for the days which are a long way off, and his words are of times still far away.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:1 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:13:9 @And my hand will be against the prophets who see visions without substance and who make false use of secret arts: they will not be in the secret of my people, and they will not be recorded in the list of the children of Israel, and they will not come into the land of Israel; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:11 @Say to those who put whitewash on it, There will be an overflowing shower; and you, O ice-drops, will come raining down; and it will be broken in two by the storm-wind.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:12 @And when the wall has come down, will they not say to you, Where is the whitewash which you put on it?

bbe@Ezekiel:13:13 @For this reason, the Lord has said: I will have it broken in two by a storm-wind in my passion; and there will be an overflowing shower in my wrath, and you, O ice-drops, will come raining angrily down.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:14 @So I will let the wall, which you were covering with whitewash, be broken down; I will have it levelled to the earth so that its base is uncovered: it will come down, and destruction will come on you with it; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:13:15 @So I will let loose my passion on the wall in full measure, and on those who put whitewash on it; and I will say to you, Where is the wall, and where are those who put whitewash on it?

bbe@Ezekiel:13:18 @This is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the women who are stitching bands on all arms and putting veils on the heads of those of every size, so that they may go after souls! Will you go after the souls of my people and keep yourselves safe from death?

bbe@Ezekiel:13:19 @And you have put me to shame among my people for a little barley and some bits of bread, sending death on souls for whom there is no cause of death, and keeping those souls living who have no right to life, by the false words you say to my people who give ear to what is false.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:1 @Then certain of the responsible men of Israel came to me and took their seats before me.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:2 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:14:3 @Son of man, these men have taken their false gods into their hearts and put before their faces the sin which is the cause of their fall: am I to give ear when they come to me for directions?

bbe@Ezekiel:14:4 @For this cause say to them, These are the words of the Lord: Every man of Israel who has taken his false god into his heart, and put before his face the sin which is the cause of his fall, and comes to the prophet; I the Lord will give him an answer by myself in agreement with the number of his false gods;

bbe@Ezekiel:14:5 @So as to take the children of Israel in the thoughts of their hearts, because they have become strange to me through their false gods.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:6 @For this cause say to the children of Israel, These are the words of the Lord: Come back and give up your false gods and let your faces be turned from your disgusting things.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:7 @When any one of the men of Israel, or of those from other lands who are living in Israel, who has become strange to me, and takes his false gods into his heart, and puts before his face the sin which is the cause of his fall, comes to the prophet to get directions from me; I the Lord will give him an answer by myself:

bbe@Ezekiel:14:10 @And the punishment of their sin will be on them: the sin of the prophet will be the same as the sin of him who goes to him for directions;

bbe@Ezekiel:14:11 @So that the children of Israel may no longer go wandering away from me, or make themselves unclean with all their wrongdoing; but they will be my people, and I will be their God, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:12 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:14:13 @Son of man, when a land, sinning against me, does wrong, and my hand is stretched out against it, and the support of its bread is broken, and I make it short of food, cutting off man and beast from it:

bbe@Ezekiel:14:14 @Even if these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, only themselves would they keep safe by their righteousness, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:16 @Even if these three men were in it, by my life, says the Lord, they would not keep safe their sons or daughters, but only themselves, and the land would be made waste.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:18 @Even if these three men were in it, by my life, says the Lord, they would not keep safe their sons or daughters, but only themselves.

bbe@Ezekiel:14:21 @For this is what the Lord has said: How much more when I send my four bitter punishments on Jerusalem, the sword and need of food and evil beasts and disease, cutting off from it man and beast?

bbe@Ezekiel:14:22 @But truly, there will still be a small band who will be safe, even sons and daughters: and they will come out to you, and you will see their ways and their doings: and you will be comforted about the evil which I have sent on Jerusalem, even about everything I have sent on it.

bbe@Ezekiel:15:1 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:15:3 @Will its wood be used for any work? do men make of it a pin for hanging any vessel on?

bbe@Ezekiel:15:4 @See, it is put into the fire for burning: the fire has made a meal of its two ends and the middle part of it is burned; is it good for any work?

bbe@Ezekiel:15:5 @Truly, before it was cut down, it was not used for any purpose: how much less, when the fire has made a meal of it and it is burned, will it be made into anything?

bbe@Ezekiel:15:7 @And my face will be turned against them; and though they have come out of the fire they will be burned up by it; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord when my face is turned against them.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:1 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:16:5 @No eye had pity on you to do any of these things to you or to be kind to you; but you were put out into the open country, because your life was hated at the time of your birth.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:7 @And be increased in number like the buds of the field; and you were increased and became great, and you came to the time of love: your breasts were formed and your hair was long; but you were uncovered and without clothing.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:8 @Now when I went past you, looking at you, I saw that your time was the time of love; and I put my skirts over you, covering your unclothed body: and I gave you my oath and made an agreement with you, says the Lord, and you became mine.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:11 @And I made you fair with ornaments and put jewels on your hands and a chain on your neck.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:13 @So you were made beautiful with gold and silver; and your clothing was of the best linen and silk and needlework; your food was the best meal and honey and oil: and you were very beautiful.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:16 @And you took your robes and made high places for yourself ornamented with every colour, acting like a loose woman on them, without shame or fear.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:18 @And you took your robes of needlework for their clothing, and put my oil and my perfume before them.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:19 @And my bread which I gave you, the best meal and oil and honey which I gave you for your food, you put it before them for a sweet smell, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:22 @And in all your disgusting and false behaviour you had no memory of your early days, when you were uncovered and without clothing, stretched out in your blood.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:23 @And it came about, after all your evil-doing, says the Lord,

bbe@Ezekiel:16:26 @And you went with the Egyptians, your neighbours, great of flesh; increasing your loose ways, moving me to wrath.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:27 @Now, then, my hand is stretched out against you, cutting down your fixed amount, and I have given you up to the desire of your haters, the daughters of the Philistines who are shamed by your loose ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:28 @And you went with the Assyrians, because of your desire which was without measure; you were acting like a loose woman with them, and still you had not enough.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:31 @For you have made your arched room at the top of every street, and your high place in every open place; though you were not like a loose woman in getting together your payment.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:33 @They give payment to all loose women: but you give rewards to your lovers, offering them payment so that they may come to you on every side for your cheap love.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:34 @And in your loose behaviour you are different from other women, for no one goes after you to make love to you: and because you give payment and no payment is given to you, in this you are different from them.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:37 @For this cause I will get together all your lovers with whom you have taken your pleasure, and all those to whom you have given your love, with all those who were hated by you; I will even make them come together against you on every side, and I will have you uncovered before them so that they may see your shame.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:38 @And you will be judged by me as women are judged who have been untrue to their husbands and have taken life; and I will let loose against you passion and bitter feeling.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:39 @I will give you into their hands, and your arched room will be overturned and your high places broken down; they will take your clothing off you and take away your fair jewels: and when they have done, you will be uncovered and shamed.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:40 @And they will get together a meeting against you, stoning you with stones and wounding you with their swords.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:41 @And they will have you burned with fire, sending punishments on you before the eyes of great numbers of women; and I will put an end to your loose ways, and you will no longer give payment.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:43 @Because you have not kept in mind the days when you were young, but have been troubling me with all these things; for this reason I will make the punishment of your ways come on your head, says the Lord, because you have done this evil thing in addition to all your disgusting acts.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:49 @Truly, this was the sin of your sister Sodom: pride, a full measure of food, and the comforts of wealth in peace, were seen in her and her daughters, and she gave no help to the poor or to those in need.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:50 @They were full of pride and did what was disgusting to me: and so I took them away as you have seen.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:52 @And you yourself will be put to shame, in that you have given the decision for your sisters; through your sins, which are more disgusting than theirs, they are more upright than you: truly, you will be shamed and made low, for you have made your sisters seem upright.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:54 @So that you will be shamed and made low because of all you have done, when I have mercy on you.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:57 @Before your shame was uncovered? Now you have become like her a word of shame to the daughters of Edom and all who are round about you, the daughters of the Philistines who put shame on you round about.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:58 @The reward of your evil designs and your disgusting ways has come on you, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:59 @For this is what the Lord has said: I will do to you as you have done, you who, putting the oath on one side, have let the agreement be broken.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:60 @But still I will keep in mind the agreement made with you in the days when you were young, and I will make with you an eternal agreement.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:61 @Then at the memory of your ways you will be overcome with shame, when I take your sisters, the older and the younger, and give them to you for daughters, but not by your agreement.

bbe@Ezekiel:16:62 @And I will make my agreement with you; and you will be certain that I am the Lord:

bbe@Ezekiel:16:63 @So that, at the memory of these things, you may be at a loss, never opening your mouth because of your shame; when you have my forgiveness for all you have done, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:1 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:17:3 @And say, This is what the Lord has said: A great eagle with great wings, full of long feathers of different colours, came to Lebanon, and took the top of the cedar:

bbe@Ezekiel:17:5 @And he took some of the seed of the land, planting it in fertile earth, placing it by great waters; he put it in like a willow-tree.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:6 @And its growth went on and it became a vine, low and widely stretching, whose branches were turned to him and its roots were under him: so it became a vine, putting out branches and young leaves.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:9 @Say, This is what the Lord has said: Will it do well? will he not have its roots pulled up and its branches cut off, so that all its young leaves may become dry and it may be pulled up by its roots?

bbe@Ezekiel:17:10 @And if it is planted will it do well? will it not become quite dry at the touch of the east wind, drying up in the bed where it was planted?

bbe@Ezekiel:17:11 @Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:17:12 @Say now to this uncontrolled people, Are these things not clear to you? Say to them, See, the king of Babylon came to Jerusalem and took its king and its rulers away with him to Babylon;

bbe@Ezekiel:17:13 @And he took one of the sons of the king and made an agreement with him; and he put him under an oath, and took away the great men of the land:

bbe@Ezekiel:17:14 @So that the kingdom might be made low with no power of lifting itself up, but might keep his agreement to be his servants.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:15 @But he went against his authority in sending representatives to Egypt to get from them horses and a great army. Will he do well? will he be safe who does such things? if the agreement is broken will he be safe?

bbe@Ezekiel:17:16 @By my life, says the Lord, truly in the place of the king who made him king, whose oath he put on one side and let his agreement with him be broken, even in Babylon he will come to his death.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:18 @For he put his oath on one side in letting the agreement be broken; and though he had given his hand to it, he did all these things; he will not get away safe.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:19 @And so the Lord has said, By my life, truly, for my oath which he put on one side, and my agreement which has been broken, I will send punishment on his head.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:20 @My net will be stretched out over him, and he will be taken in my cords, and I will send him to Babylon, and there I will be his judge for the wrong which he has done against me.

bbe@Ezekiel:17:21 @All his best fighting-men will be put to the sword, and the rest will be sent away to every wind: and you will be certain that I the Lord have said it.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:1 @The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:18:6 @And has not taken flesh with the blood for food, or given worship to the images of the children of Israel; if he has not had connection with his neighbour's wife, or come near to a woman at the time when she is unclean;

bbe@Ezekiel:18:14 @Now if he has a son who sees all his father's sins which he has done, and in fear does not do the same:

bbe@Ezekiel:18:19 @But you say, Why does not the son undergo punishment for the evil-doing of the father? When the son has done what is ordered and right, and has kept my rules and done them, life will certainly be his.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:22 @Not one of the sins which he has done will be kept in memory against him: in the righteousness which he has done he will have life.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:24 @But when the upright man, turning away from his righteousness, does evil, like all the disgusting things which the evil man does, will he have life? Not one of his upright acts will be kept in memory: in the wrong which he has done and in his sin death will overtake him.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:30 @For this cause I will be your judge, O children of Israel, judging every man by his ways, says the Lord. Come back and be turned from all your sins; so that they may not be the cause of your falling into evil.

bbe@Ezekiel:18:32 @For I have no pleasure in the death of him on whom death comes, says the Lord: be turned back then, and have life.

bbe@Ezekiel:19:3 @And one of her little ones came to growth under her care, and became a young lion, learning to go after beasts for his food; and he took men for his meat.

bbe@Ezekiel:19:6 @And he went up and down among the lions and became a young lion, learning to go after beasts for his food; and he took men for his meat.

bbe@Ezekiel:19:7 @And he sent destruction on their widows and made waste their towns; and the land and everything in it became waste because of the loud sound of his voice.

bbe@Ezekiel:19:8 @Then the nations came against him from the kingdoms round about: their net was stretched over him and he was taken in the hole they had made.

bbe@Ezekiel:19:11 @And she had a strong rod for a rod of authority for the rulers, and it became tall among the clouds and it was seen lifted up among the number of its branches.

bbe@Ezekiel:19:12 @But she was uprooted in burning wrath, and made low on the earth; the east wind came, drying her up, and her branches were broken off; her strong rod became dry, the fire made a meal of it.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:1 @Now it came about in the seventh year, in the fifth month, on the tenth day of the month, that certain of the responsible men of Israel came to get directions from the Lord and were seated before me.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:2 @Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:20:3 @Son of man, say to the responsible men of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: Have you come to get directions from me? By my life, says the Lord, you will get no directions from me.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:8 @But they would not be controlled by me, and did not give ear to me; they did not put away the disgusting things to which their eyes were turned, or give up the images of Egypt: then I said I would let loose my passion on them to give full effect to my wrath against them in the land of Egypt.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:9 @And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean before the eyes of the nations among whom they were, and before whose eyes I gave them knowledge of myself, by taking them out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:12 @And further, I gave them my Sabbaths, to be a sign between me and them, so that it might be clear that I, who make them holy, am the Lord

bbe@Ezekiel:20:13 @But the children of Israel would not be controlled by me in the waste land: they were not guided by my rules, and they were turned away from my orders, which, if a man does them, will be life to him; and they had no respect for my Sabbaths: then I said that I would let loose my passion on them in the waste land, and put an end to them.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:14 @And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean in the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had taken them out.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:20 @And keep my Sabbaths holy; and they will be a sign between me and you so that it may be clear to you that I am the Lord your God.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:21 @But the children would not be controlled by me; they were not guided by my rules, and they did not keep and do my orders, which, if a man does them, will be life to him; and they had no respect for my Sabbaths: then I said I would let loose my passion on them to give full effect to my wrath against them in the waste land.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:22 @And I was acting for the honour of my name, so that it might not be made unclean in the eyes of the nations, before whose eyes I had taken them out.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:27 @For this cause, son of man, say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: In this your fathers have further put shame on my name by doing wrong against me.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:28 @For when I had taken them into the land which I made an oath to give to them, then they saw every high hill and every branching tree and made their offerings there, moving me to wrath by their offerings; and there the sweet smell of their offerings went up and their drink offerings were drained out.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:29 @Then I said to them, What is this high place where you go to no purpose? And it is named Bamah to this day.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:30 @For this cause say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: Are you making yourselves unclean as your fathers did? are you being untrue to me by going after their disgusting works?

bbe@Ezekiel:20:31 @And when you give your offerings, causing your sons to go through the fire, you make yourselves unclean with all your images to this day; and will you come to me for directions, O children of Israel? By my life, says the Lord, you will get no direction from me.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:32 @And that which comes into your minds will never take place; when you say, We will be like the nations, like the families of the countries, servants of wood and stone;

bbe@Ezekiel:20:38 @Clearing out from among you all those who are uncontrolled and who are sinning against me; I will take them out of the land where they are living, but they will not come into the land of Israel: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:39 @As for you, O children of Israel, the Lord has said: Let every man completely put away his images and give ear to me: and let my holy name no longer be shamed by your offerings and your images.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:41 @I will take pleasure in you as in a sweet smell, when I take you out from the peoples and get you together from the countries where you have been sent in flight; and I will make myself holy in you before the eyes of the nations.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:43 @And there, at the memory of your ways and of all the things you did to make yourselves unclean, you will have bitter hate for yourselves because of all the evil things you have done.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:44 @And you will be certain that I am the Lord, when I take you in hand for the honour of my name, and not for your evil ways or your unclean doings, O children of Israel, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:45 @Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:20:47 @And say to the woodland of the South, Give ear to the words of the Lord: this is what the Lord has said: See, I will have a fire lighted in you, for the destruction of every green tree in you and every dry tree: the flaming flame will not be put out, and all faces from the south to the north will be burned by it.

bbe@Ezekiel:20:49 @Then I said, Ah, Lord! they say of me, Is he not a maker of stories?

bbe@Ezekiel:21:1 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:21:7 @And when they say to you, Why are you making sounds of grief? then say, Because of the news, for it is coming: and every heart will become soft, and all hands will be feeble, and every spirit will be burning low, and all knees will be turned to water: see, it is coming and it will be done, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:8 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:21:10 @It has been made sharp to give death; it is polished so that it may be like a thunder-flame:...

bbe@Ezekiel:21:12 @Give loud cries and make sounds of grief, O son of man: for it has come on my people, it has come on all the rulers of Israel: fear of the sword has come on my people: for this cause give signs of grief.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:15 @In order that hearts may become soft, and the number of those who are falling may be increased, I have sent death by the sword against all their doors: you are made like a flame, you are polished for death.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:18 @And the word of the Lord came to me again, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:21:19 @And you, son of man, have two ways marked out, so that the sword of the king of Babylon may come; let the two of them come out of one land: and let there be a pillar at the top of the road:

bbe@Ezekiel:21:20 @Put a pillar at the top of the road for the sword to come to Rabbah in the land of the children of Ammon, and to Judah and to Jerusalem in the middle of her.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:23 @And this answer given by secret arts will seem false to those who have given their oaths and have let them be broken: but he will keep the memory of evil-doing so that they may be taken.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:24 @For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have made your evil-doing come to mind by the uncovering of your wrongdoing, causing your sins to be seen in all your evil-doings; because you have come to mind, you will be taken in them.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:25 @And you, O evil one, wounded to death, O ruler of Israel, whose day has come in the time of the last punishment;

bbe@Ezekiel:21:27 @I will let it be overturned, overturned, overturned: this will not be again till he comes whose right it is; and I will give it to him.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:28 @And you, son of man, say as a prophet, This is what the Lord has said about the children of Ammon and about their shame: Say, A sword, even a sword let loose, polished for death, to make it shining so that it may be like a flame:

bbe@Ezekiel:21:29 @Your vision is to no purpose, your use of secret arts gives a false answer, to put it on the necks of evil-doers who are wounded to death, whose day has come, in the time of the last punishment.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:31 @And I will let loose my burning passion on you, breathing out on you the fire of my wrath: and I will give you up into the hands of men like beasts, trained to destruction.

bbe@Ezekiel:21:32 @You will be food for the fire; your blood will be drained out in the land; there will be no more memory of you: for I the Lord have said it.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:1 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:22:3 @And you are to say, This is what the Lord has said: A town causing blood to be drained out in her streets so that her time may come, and making images in her to make her unclean!

bbe@Ezekiel:22:4 @You are responsible for the blood drained out by you, and you are unclean through the images which you have made; and you have made your day come near, and the time of your judging has come; for this cause I have made you a name of shame to the nations and a cause of laughing to all countries.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:5 @Those who are near and those who are far from you will make sport of you; your name is unclean, you are full of sounds of fear.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:9 @In you there are men who say evil of others, causing death; in you they have taken the flesh with the blood for food; in your streets they have put evil designs into effect.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:10 @In you they have let the shame of their fathers be seen; in you they have done wrong to a woman at the time when she was unclean.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:12 @In you they have taken rewards as the price of blood; you have taken interest and great profits, and you have taken away your neighbours' goods by force, and have not kept me in mind, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:13 @See, then, I have made my hands come together in wrath against your taking of goods by force and against the blood which has been flowing in you.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:17 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:22:18 @Son of man, the children of Israel have become like the poorest sort of waste metal to me: they are all silver and brass and tin and iron and lead mixed with waste.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:19 @For this cause the Lord has said: Because you have all become waste metal, see, I will get you together inside Jerusalem.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:21 @Yes, I will take you, breathing on you the fire of my wrath, and you will become soft in it.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:22 @As silver becomes soft in the oven, so you will become soft in it; and you will be certain that I the Lord have let loose my passion on you.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:23 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:22:24 @Son of man, say to her, You are a land on which no rain or thunderstorm has come in the day of wrath.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:25 @Her rulers in her are like a loud-voiced lion violently taking his food; they have made a meal of souls; they have taken wealth and valued property; they have made great the number of widows in her.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:27 @Her rulers in her are like wolves violently taking their food; putting men to death and causing the destruction of souls, so that they may get their profit.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:29 @The people of the land have been acting cruelly, taking men's goods by force; they have been hard on the poor and those in need, and have done wrong to the man from a strange land.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:30 @And I was looking for a man among them who would make up the wall and take his station in the broken place before me for the land, so that I might not send destruction on it: but there was no one.

bbe@Ezekiel:22:31 @And I let loose my passion on them, and have put an end to them in the fire of my wrath: I have made the punishment of their ways come on their heads, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:1 @The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:23:2 @Son of man, there were two women, daughters of one mother:

bbe@Ezekiel:23:3 @They were acting like loose women in Egypt; when they were young their behaviour was loose: there their breasts were crushed, even the points of their young breasts were crushed.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:4 @Their names were Oholah, the older, and Oholibah, her sister: and they became mine, and gave birth to sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem, Oholibah.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:5 @And Oholah was untrue to me when she was mine; she was full of desire for her lovers, even for the Assyrians, her neighbours,

bbe@Ezekiel:23:6 @Who were clothed in blue, captains and rulers, all of them young men to be desired, horsemen seated on horses.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:7 @And she gave her unclean love to them, all of them the noblest men of Assyria: and she made herself unclean with the images of all who were desired by her.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:8 @And she has not given up her loose ways from the time when she was in Egypt; for when she was young they were her lovers, and by them her young breasts were crushed, and they let loose on her their unclean desire.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:10 @By these her shame was uncovered: they took her sons and daughters and put her to death with the sword: and she became a cause of wonder to women; for they gave her the punishment which was right.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:11 @And her sister Oholibah saw this, but her desire was even more unmeasured, and her loose behaviour was worse than that of her sister.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:12 @She was full of desire for the Assyrians, captains and rulers, her neighbours, clothed in blue, horsemen going on horses, all of them young men to be desired.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:13 @And I saw that she had become unclean; the two of them went the same way.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:14 @And her loose behaviour became worse; for she saw men pictured on a wall, pictures of the Chaldaeans painted in bright red,

bbe@Ezekiel:23:17 @And the Babylonians came to her, into the bed of love, and made her unclean with their loose desire, and she became unclean with them, and her soul was turned from them.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:18 @So her loose behaviour was clearly seen and her shame uncovered: then my soul was turned from her as it had been turned from her sister

bbe@Ezekiel:23:21 @And she made the memory of the loose ways of her early years come back to mind, when her young breasts were crushed by the Egyptians.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:22 @For this cause, O Oholibah, this is what the Lord has said: See, I will make your lovers come up against you, even those from whom your soul is turned away in disgust; and I will make them come up against you on every side;

bbe@Ezekiel:23:23 @The Babylonians and all the Chaldaeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: young men to be desired, captains and rulers all of them, and chiefs, her neighbours, all of them on horseback.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:24 @And they will come against you from the north on horseback, with war-carriages and a great band of peoples; they will put themselves in order against you with breastplate and body-cover and metal head-dress round about you: and I will make them your judges, and they will give their decision against you as seems right to them.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:26 @And they will take all your clothing off you and take away your ornaments.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:27 @So I will put an end to your evil ways and your loose behaviour which came from the land of Egypt: and your eyes will never be lifted up to them again, and you will have no more memory of Egypt.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:29 @And they will take you in hand with hate, and take away all the fruit of your work, and let you be unveiled and without clothing: and the shame of your loose behaviour will be uncovered, your evil designs and your loose ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:30 @They will do these things to you because you have been untrue to me, and have gone after the nations, and have become unclean with their images.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:35 @So this is what the Lord has said: Because you have not kept me in your memory, and because your back has been turned to me, you will even undergo the punishment of your evil designs and your loose ways.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:36 @Then the Lord said to me: Son of man, will you be the judge of Oholibah? then make clear to her the disgusting things she has done.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:37 @For she has been false to me, and blood is on her hands, and with her images she has been untrue; and more than this, she made her sons, whom she had by me, go through the fire to them to be burned up.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:38 @Further, this is what she has done to me: she has made my holy place unclean and has made my Sabbaths unclean.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:39 @For when she had made an offering of her children to her images, she came into my holy place to make it unclean; see, this is what she has done inside my house.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:40 @And she even sent for men to come from far away, to whom a servant was sent, and they came: for whom she was washing her body and painting her eyes and making herself fair with ornaments.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:41 @And she took her seat on a great bed, with a table put ready before it on which she put my perfume and my oil.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:44 @And they went in to her, as men go to a loose woman: so they went in to Oholibah, the loose woman.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:45 @And upright men will be her judges, judging her as false wives and women who take lives are judged; because she has been untrue to me and blood is on her hands.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:46 @For this is what the Lord has said: I will make a great meeting of the people come together against her, and will send on her shaking fear and take everything from her.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:47 @And the meeting, after stoning her with stones, will put an end to her with their swords; they will put her sons and daughters to death and have her house burned up with fire.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:48 @And I will put an end to evil in all the land, teaching all women not to do as you have done.

bbe@Ezekiel:23:49 @And I will send on you the punishment of your evil ways, and you will be rewarded for your sins with your images: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:1 @And the word of the Lord came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth day of the month, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:24:6 @For this is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the town of blood, the cooking-pot which is unclean inside, which has never been made clean! take out its bits; its fate is still to come on it.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:8 @In order that it might make wrath come up to give punishment, she has put her blood on the open rock, so that it may not be covered.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:11 @And I will put her on the coals so that she may be heated and her brass burned, so that what is unclean in her may become soft and her waste be completely taken away.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:12 @I have made myself tired to no purpose: still all the waste which is in her has not come out, it has an evil smell.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:13 @As for your unclean purpose: because I have been attempting to make you clean, but you have not been made clean from it, you will not be made clean till I have let loose my passion on you in full measure.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:14 @I the Lord have said the word and I will do it; I will not go back or have mercy, and my purpose will not be changed; in the measure of your ways and of your evil doings you will be judged, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:15 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:24:19 @And the people said to me, Will you not make clear to us the sense of these things; is it for us you do them?

bbe@Ezekiel:24:20 @Then I said to them, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:24:21 @Say to the people of Israel, The Lord has said, See, I will make my holy place unclean, the pride of your strength, the pleasure of your eyes, and the desire of your soul; and your sons and daughters, who did not come with you here, will be put to the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:23 @And your head-dresses will be on your heads and your shoes on your feet: there will be no sorrow or weeping; but you will be wasting away in the punishment of your evil-doing, and you will be looking at one another in wonder.

bbe@Ezekiel:24:26 @In that day, one who has got away safe will come to you to give you news of it.

bbe@Ezekiel:25:1 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:25:5 @And I will make Rabbah a place for housing camels, and the children of Ammon a resting-place for flocks: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:25:6 @For the Lord has said, Because you have made sounds of joy with your hands, stamping your feet, and have been glad, putting shame with all your soul on the land of Israel;

bbe@Ezekiel:25:9 @For this cause, I will let the side of Moab be uncovered, and his towns on every side, the glory of the land, Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon and as far as Kiriathaim

bbe@Ezekiel:25:10 @To the children of the east I have given her for a heritage, as well as the children of Ammon, so that there may be no memory of her among the nations:

bbe@Ezekiel:25:12 @This is what the Lord has said: Because Edom has taken his payment from the people of Judah, and has done great wrong in taking payment from them;

bbe@Ezekiel:25:14 @I will take payment from Edom because of my people Israel; and I will take Edom in hand in my wrath and in my passion: and they will have experience of my reward, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:25:15 @This is what the Lord has said: Because the Philistines have taken payment, with the purpose of causing shame and destruction with unending hate;

bbe@Ezekiel:25:17 @And I will take great payment from them with acts of wrath; and they will be certain that I am the Lord when I send my punishment on them.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:1 @Now in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:26:10 @Because of the number of his horses you will be covered with their dust: your walls will be shaking at the noise of the horsemen and of the wheels and of the war-carriages, when he comes through your doorways, as into a town which has been broken open.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:13 @I will put an end to the noise of your songs, and the sound of your instruments of music will be gone for ever.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:15 @This is what the Lord has said to Tyre: Will not the sea-lands be shaking at the sound of your fall, when the wounded give cries of pain, when men are put to the sword in you?

bbe@Ezekiel:26:16 @Then all the rulers of the sea will come down from their high seats, and put away their robes and take off their clothing of needlework: they will put on the clothing of grief, they will take their seats on the earth, shaking with fear every minute and overcome with wonder at you.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:17 @And they will send up a song of grief for you, and say to you, What destruction has come on you, how are you cut off from the sea, the noted town, which was strong in the sea, she and her people, causing the fear of them to come on all the dry land!

bbe@Ezekiel:26:18 @Now the sea-lands will be shaking in the day of your fall; and all the ships on the sea will be overcome with fear at your going.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:19 @For this is what the Lord has said: I will make you a waste town, like the towns which are unpeopled; when I make the deep come upon you, covering you with great waters.

bbe@Ezekiel:26:21 @I will make you a thing of fear, and you will come to an end: even if you are looked for, you will not be seen again for ever, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:1 @The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:27:8 @The people of Zidon and Arvad were your boatmen; the wise men of Zemer were in you; they were guiding your ships;

bbe@Ezekiel:27:9 @The responsible men of Gebal and its wise men were in you, making your boards watertight: all the ships of the sea with their seamen were in you trading in your goods.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:10 @Cush and Lud and Put were in your army, your men of war, hanging up their body-covers and head-dresses of war in you: they gave you your glory.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:11 @The men of Arvad in your army were on your walls, and were watchmen in your towers, hanging up their arms on your walls round about; they made you completely beautiful.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:13 @Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your traders; they gave living men and brass vessels for your goods

bbe@Ezekiel:27:15 @The men of Rodan were your traders: a great number of sea-lands did business with you: they gave you horns of ivory and ebony as an offering.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:16 @Edom did business with you because of the great number of things which you made; they gave emeralds, purple, and needlework, and the best linen and coral and rubies for your goods.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:17 @Judah and the land of Israel were your traders; they gave grain of Minnith and sweet cakes and honey and oil and perfume for your goods.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:23 @Haran and Canneh and Eden, the traders of Asshur and all the Medes:

bbe@Ezekiel:27:26 @Your boatmen have taken you into great waters: you have been broken by the east wind in the heart of the seas.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:27 @Your wealth and your goods, the things in which you do trade, your seamen and those guiding your ships, those who make your boards watertight, and those who do business with your goods, and all your men of war who are in you, with all who have come together in you, will go down into the heart of the seas in the day of your downfall.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:29 @And all the boatmen, the seamen and those who are expert at guiding a ship through the sea, will come down from their ships and take their places on the land;

bbe@Ezekiel:27:32 @And in their weeping they will make a song of grief for you, sorrowing over you and saying, Who is like Tyre, who has come to an end in the deep sea?

bbe@Ezekiel:27:35 @All the people of the sea-lands are overcome with wonder at you, and their kings are full of fear, their faces are troubled.

bbe@Ezekiel:27:36 @Those who do business among the peoples make sounds of surprise at you; you have become a thing of fear, you have come to an end for ever.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:1 @The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:28:7 @See, I am sending against you strange men, feared among the nations: they will let loose their swords against your bright wisdom, they will make your glory a common thing.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:10 @Your death will be the death of those who are without circumcision, by the hands of men from strange lands: for I have said it, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:11 @Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:28:13 @You were in Eden, the garden of God; every stone of great price was your clothing, the sardius, the topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the emerald and the carbuncle: your store-houses were full of gold, and things of great price were in you; in the day when you were made they were got ready.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:16 @Through all your trading you have become full of violent ways, and have done evil: so I sent you out shamed from the mountain of God; the winged one put an end to you from among the stones of fire.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:18 @By all your sin, even by your evil trading, you have made your holy places unclean; so I will make a fire come out from you, it will make a meal of you, and I will make you as dust on the earth before the eyes of all who see you.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:19 @All who have knowledge of you among the peoples will be overcome with wonder at you: you have become a thing of fear, and you will never be seen again.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:20 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:28:22 @These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, O Zidon; and I will get glory for myself in you: and they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I send my punishments on her, and I will be seen to be holy in her.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:24 @And there will no longer be a plant with sharp points wounding the children of Israel, or a thorn troubling them among any who are round about them, who put shame on them; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:28:26 @And they will be safe there, building houses and planting vine-gardens and living without fear; when I have sent my punishments on all those who put shame on them round about them; and they will be certain that I am the Lord their God.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:1 @In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:29:4 @And I will put hooks in your mouth, and the fish of your streams will be hanging from your skin; and I will make you come up out of your streams, with all the fish of your streams hanging from your skin.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:14 @I will let the fate of Egypt be changed, and will make them come back into the land of Pathros, into the land from which they came; and there they will be an unimportant kingdom.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:16 @And Egypt will no longer be the hope of the children of Israel, causing sin to come to mind when their eyes are turned to them: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:17 @Now in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:29:18 @Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, made his army do hard work against Tyre, and the hair came off every head and every arm was rubbed smooth: but he and his army got no payment out of Tyre for the hard work which he had done against it.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:19 @For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am giving the land of Egypt to Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon: he will take away her wealth, and take her goods by force and everything which is there; and this will be the payment for his army.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:20 @I have given him the land of Egypt as the reward for his hard work, because they were working for me, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:29:21 @In that day I will make a horn put out buds for the children of Israel, and I will let your words come freely among them, and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:1 @The word of the Lord came to me again, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:30:3 @For the day is near, the day of the Lord is near, a day of cloud; it will be the time of the nations.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:4 @And a sword will come on Egypt, and cruel pain will be in Ethiopia, when they are falling by the sword in Egypt; and they will take away her wealth and her bases will be broken down.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:6 @This is what the Lord has said: The supporters of Egypt will have a fall, and the pride of her power will come down: from Migdol to Syene they will be put to the sword in it, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:9 @In that day men will go out quickly to take the news, causing fear in untroubled Ethiopia; and bitter pain will come on them as in the day of Egypt; for see, it is coming.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:12 @And I will make the Nile streams dry, and will give the land into the hands of evil men, causing the land and everything in it to be wasted by the hands of men from a strange country: I the Lord have said it.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:14 @And I will make Pathros a waste, and put a fire in Zoan, and send my punishments on No.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:17 @The young men of On and Pi-beseth will be put to the sword: and these towns will be taken away prisoners.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:18 @And at Tehaphnehes the day will become dark, when the yoke of Egypt is broken there, and the pride of her power comes to an end: as for her, she will be covered with a cloud, and her daughters will be taken away prisoners.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:19 @And I will send my punishments on Egypt: and they will be certain that I am the Lord

bbe@Ezekiel:30:20 @Now in the eleventh year, in the first month, on the seventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:30:21 @Son of man, the arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, has been broken by me, and no band has been put round it to make it well, no band has been twisted round it to make it strong for gripping the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:30:22 @For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and by me his strong arm will be broken; and I will make the sword go out of his hand.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:1 @Now in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:31:5 @In this way it became taller than all the trees of the field; and its branches were increased and its arms became long because of the great waters.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:6 @In its branches all the birds of heaven came to rest, and under its arms all the beasts of the field gave birth to their young, and great nations were living in its shade.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:12 @And men from strange lands, who are to be feared among the nations, after cutting him off, have let him be: on the mountains and in all the valleys his branches have come down; his arms are broken by all the waterways of the land; all the peoples of the earth have gone from his shade, and have let him be.

bbe@Ezekiel:31:13 @All the birds of heaven have come to rest on his broken stem where it is stretched on the earth, and all the beasts of the field will be on his branches:

bbe@Ezekiel:31:14 @In order that no trees by the waters may be lifted up in their growth, putting their tops among the clouds; and that no trees which are watered may take their place on high: for they are all given up to death, to the lowest parts of the earth among the children of men, with those who go down to the underworld.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:1 @And it came about in the twelfth year, in the twelfth month, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:32:2 @Son of man, make a song of grief for Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and say to him, Young lion of the nations, destruction has come on you; and you were like a sea-beast in the seas, sending out bursts of water, troubling the waters with your feet, making their streams dirty.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:4 @And I will let you be stretched on the land; I will send you out violently into the open field; I will let all the birds of heaven come to rest on you and will make the beasts of all the earth full of you.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:10 @And I will make a number of peoples overcome with wonder at you, and their kings will be full of fear because of you, when my sword is waved before them: they will be shaking every minute, every man fearing for his life, in the day of your fall.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:11 @For this is what the Lord has said: The sword of the king of Babylon will come on you.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:12 @I will let the swords of the strong be the cause of the fall of your people; all of them men to be feared among the nations: and they will make waste the pride of Egypt, and all its people will come to destruction.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:15 @When I make Egypt an unpeopled waste, cutting off from the land all the things in it; when I send punishment on all those living in it, then it will be clear to them that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:17 @And in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:32:24 @There is Elam and all her people, round about her last resting-place: all of them put to death by the sword, who have gone down without circumcision into the lowest parts of the earth, who were a cause of fear in the land of the living, and are put to shame with those who go down to the underworld:

bbe@Ezekiel:32:25 @They have made a bed for her among the dead, and all her people are round about her resting-place: all of them without circumcision, put to death with the sword; for they were a cause of fear in the land of the living, and are put to shame with those who go down to the underworld: they have been given a place among those who have been put to the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:26 @There is Meshech, Tubal, and all her people, round about her last resting-place: all of them without circumcision, put to death by the sword; for they were a cause of fear in the land of the living.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:27 @And they have been put to rest with the fighting men who came to their end in days long past, who went down to the underworld with their instruments of war, placing their swords under their heads, and their body-covers are over their bones; for their strength was a cause of fear in the land of the living.

bbe@Ezekiel:32:30 @There are the chiefs of the north, all of them, and all the Zidonians, who have gone down with those who have been put to the sword: they are shamed on account of all the fear caused by their strength; they are resting there without circumcision, among those who have been put to the sword, and are put to shame with those who go down to the underworld.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:1 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:33:2 @Son of man, give a word to the children of your people, and say to them, When I make the sword come on a land, if the people of the land take a man from among their number and make him their watchman:

bbe@Ezekiel:33:4 @Then anyone who, hearing the sound of the horn, does not take note of it, will himself be responsible for his death, if the sword comes and takes him away.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:6 @But if the watchman sees the sword coming, and does not give a note on the horn, and the people have no word of the danger, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them; he will be taken away in his sin, but I will make the watchman responsible for his blood.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:7 @So you, son of man, I have made you a watchman for the children of Israel; and you are to give ear to the word of my mouth and give them news from me of their danger.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:11 @Say to them, By my life, says the Lord, I have no pleasure in the death of the evil-doer; it is more pleasing to me if he is turned from his way and has life: be turned, be turned from your evil ways; why are you looking for death, O children of Israel?

bbe@Ezekiel:33:13 @When I say to the upright that life will certainly be his; if he puts his faith in his righteousness and does evil, not one of his upright acts will be kept in memory; but in the evil he has done, death will overtake him.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:21 @Now in the twelfth year after we had been taken away prisoners, in the tenth month, on the fifth day of the month, one who had got away in flight from Jerusalem came to me, saying, The town has been taken.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:22 @Now the hand of the Lord had been on me in the evening, before the man who had got away came to me; and he made my mouth open, ready for his coming to me in the morning; and my mouth was open and I was no longer without voice.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:23 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:33:25 @For this cause say to them, This is what the Lord has said: You take your meat with the blood, your eyes are lifted up to your images, and you are takers of life: are you to have the land for your heritage?

bbe@Ezekiel:33:27 @This is what you are to say to them: The Lord has said, By my life, truly, those who are in the waste places will be put to the sword, and him who is in the open field I will give to the beasts for their food, and those who are in the strong places and in holes in the rocks will come to their death by disease.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:28 @And I will make the land a waste and a cause of wonder, and the pride of her strength will come to an end; and the mountains of Israel will be made waste so that no one will go through.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:30 @And as for you, son of man, the children of your people are talking together about you by the walls and in the doorways of the houses, saying to one another, Come now, give ear to the word which comes from the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:31 @And they come to you as my people come, and are seated before you as my people, hearing your words but doing them not: for deceit is in their mouth and their heart goes after profit for themselves.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:32 @And truly you are to them like a love song by one who has a very pleasing voice and is an expert player on an instrument: for they give ear to your words but do them not.

bbe@Ezekiel:33:33 @And when this comes about (see, it is coming), then it will be clear to them that a prophet has been among them.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:1 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:34:5 @And they were wandering in every direction because there was no keeper: and they became food for all the beasts of the field.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:8 @By my life, says the Lord, truly, because my sheep have been taken away, and my sheep became food for all the beasts of the field, because there was no keeper, and my keepers did not go in search of the sheep, but the keepers took food for themselves and gave my sheep no food;

bbe@Ezekiel:34:13 @And I will take them out from among the peoples, and get them together from the countries, and will take them into their land; and I will give them food on the mountains of Israel by the water-streams and wherever men are living in the country.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:16 @I will go in search of that which had gone wandering from the way, and will get back that which had been sent in flight, and will put bands on that which was broken, and give strength to that which was ill: but the fat and the strong I will give up to destruction; I will give them for their food the punishment which is theirs by right.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:25 @And I will make with them an agreement of peace, and will put an end to evil beasts through all the land: and they will be living safely in the waste land, sleeping in the woods.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:26 @And I will give the rain at the right time, and I will make the shower come down at the right time; there will be showers of blessing.

bbe@Ezekiel:34:29 @And I will give them planting-places of peace, and they will no longer be wasted from need of food or put to shame by the nations.

bbe@Ezekiel:35:1 @Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:35:5 @Because yours has been a hate without end, and you have given up the children of Israel to the power of the sword in the time of their trouble, in the time of the punishment of the end:

bbe@Ezekiel:35:6 @For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, because you have been sinning through blood, blood will come after you.

bbe@Ezekiel:35:8 @I will make his mountains full of those who have been put to death; in your valleys and in all your water-streams men will be falling by the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:35:11 @For this cause, by my life, says the Lord, I will do to you as you have done in your wrath and in your envy, which you have made clear in your hate for them; and I will make clear to you who I am when you are judged by me.

bbe@Ezekiel:35:13 @And you have made yourselves great against me with your mouths, increasing your words against me; and it has come to my ears.

bbe@Ezekiel:35:15 @You will become a waste, O Mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:3 @For this cause be a prophet, and say, This is what the Lord has said: Because, even because they have been glad over you and put you to shame on every side, because you have become a heritage for the rest of the nations, and you are taken up on the lips of talkers and in the evil talk of the people:

bbe@Ezekiel:36:4 @For this reason, you mountains of Israel, give ear to the word of the Lord; this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, to the unpeopled wastes and to the towns where no one is living, from which the goods have been taken and which have been put to shame by the rest of the nations who are round about:

bbe@Ezekiel:36:6 @For this cause be a prophet about the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, This is what the Lord has said: Truly, in my bitter feeling and in my wrath I have said these things, because you have undergone the shame of the nations:

bbe@Ezekiel:36:7 @For this cause the Lord has said, See, I have taken an oath that the nations which are round about you are themselves to undergo the shame which they have put on you.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:8 @But you, O mountains of Israel, will put out your branches and give your fruit to my people Israel; for they are ready to come.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:12 @Yes, I will have you walked on by the feet of men, even my people Israel; they will have you for a heritage and you will be theirs, and never again will you take their children from them.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:13 @This is what the Lord has said: Because they say to you, You, O land, are the destruction of men, causing loss of children to your nation;

bbe@Ezekiel:36:14 @For this reason you will no longer take the lives of men and will never again be the cause of loss of children to your nation, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:15 @And I will not let the shaming of the nations come to your ears, and no longer will you be looked down on by the peoples, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:16 @Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:36:17 @Son of man, when the children of Israel were living in their land, they made it unclean by their way and their acts: their way before me was as when a woman is unclean at the time when she is kept separate.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:20 @And when they came among the nations, wherever they went, they made my holy name unclean, when it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord who have gone out from his land.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:21 @But I had pity for my holy name which the children of Israel had made unclean wherever they went.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:22 @For this cause say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: I am doing this, not because of you, O children of Israel, but because of my holy name, which you have made unclean among the nations wherever you went.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:23 @And I will make holy my great name which has been made unclean among the nations, which you have made unclean among them; and it will be clear to the nations that I am the Lord, says the Lord, when I make myself holy in you before their eyes.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:28 @So that you may go on living in the land which I gave to your fathers; and you will be to me a people, and I will be to you a God.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:29 @And I will make you free from all your unclean ways: and at my voice the grain will come up and be increased, and I will not let you be short of food.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:30 @And I will make the tree give more fruit and the field fuller produce, and no longer will you be shamed among the nations for need of food.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:31 @And at the memory of your evil ways and your wrongdoings, you will have bitter hate for yourselves because of your evil-doings and your disgusting ways, O children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:32 @Not because of you am I doing it, says the Lord; let it be clear to you, and be shamed and made low because of your ways, O children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:34 @And the land which was waste will be farmed, in place of being a waste in the eyes of everyone who went by.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:35 @And they will say, This land which was waste has become like the garden of Eden; and the towns which were unpeopled and wasted and pulled down are walled and peopled.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:37 @This is what the Lord has said: The children of Israel will again make prayer to me for this, that I may do it for them; I will make them increased with men like a flock.

bbe@Ezekiel:36:38 @Like sheep for the offerings, like the sheep of Jerusalem at her fixed feasts, so the unpeopled towns will be made full of men: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:1 @The hand of the Lord had been on me, and he took me out in the spirit of the Lord and put me down in the middle of the valley; and it was full of bones;

bbe@Ezekiel:37:2 @And he made me go past them round about: and I saw that there was a very great number of them on the face of the wide valley, and they were very dry.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:3 @And he said to me, Son of man, is it possible for these bones to come to life? And I made answer, and said, It is for you to say, O Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:4 @And again he said to me, Be a prophet to these bones, and say to them, O you dry bones, give ear to the word of the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:5 @This is what the Lord has said to these bones: See, I will make breath come into you so that you may come to life;

bbe@Ezekiel:37:6 @And I will put muscles on you and make flesh come on you, and put skin over you, and breath into you, so that you may have life; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:7 @So I gave the word as I was ordered: and at my words there was a shaking of the earth, and the bones came together, bone to bone.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:8 @And looking I saw that there were muscles on them and flesh came up, and they were covered with skin: but there was no breath in them.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:9 @And he said to me, Be a prophet to the wind, be a prophet, son of man, and say to the wind, The Lord has said: Come from the four winds, O wind, breathing on these dead so that they may come to life.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:10 @And I gave the word at his orders, and breath came into them, and they came to life and got up on their feet, a very great army.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:11 @Then he said to me, Son of man, these bones are all the children of Israel: and see, they are saying, Our bones have become dry our hope is gone, we are cut off completely.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:12 @For this cause be a prophet to them, and say, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am opening the resting-places of your dead, and I will make you come up out of your resting-places, O my people; and I will take you into the land of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:13 @And you will be certain that I am the Lord by my opening the resting-places of your dead and making you come up out of your resting-places, O my people.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:14 @And I will put my spirit in you, so that you may come to life, and I will give you a rest in your land: and you will be certain that I the Lord have said it and have done it, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:15 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:37:23 @And they will no longer make themselves unclean with their images or with their hated things or with any of their sins: but I will give them salvation from all their turning away in which they have done evil, and will make them clean; and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a God.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:26 @And I will make an agreement of peace with them: it will be an eternal agreement with them: and I will have mercy on them and make their numbers great, and will put my holy place among them for ever.

bbe@Ezekiel:37:27 @And my House will be over them; and I will be to them a God, and they will be to me a people.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:1 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Ezekiel:38:2 @Son of man, let your face be turned against Gog, of the land of Magog, the ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and be a prophet against him,

bbe@Ezekiel:38:3 @And say, This is what the Lord has said: See, I am against you, O Gog, ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:

bbe@Ezekiel:38:4 @And turning you round, I will put hooks in your mouth and make you come out with all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them in full war-dress, a great force with breastplate and body-cover, all of them armed with swords:

bbe@Ezekiel:38:5 @Persia, Cush, and Put with them; all of them with body-cover and metal head-dress:

bbe@Ezekiel:38:6 @Gomer and all her forces; the people of Togarmah in the inmost parts of the north, with all his forces: a great number of peoples with you.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:8 @After a long time you will get your orders: in the last years you will come into the land which has been given back from the sword, which has been got together out of a great number of peoples, on the mountains of Israel which have ever been a waste: but it has been taken out from the peoples and they will be living, all of them, without fear of danger.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:9 @And you will go up, you will come like a storm, you will be like a cloud covering the land, you and all your forces, and a great number of peoples with you.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:10 @This is what the Lord has said: In that day it will come about that things will come into your mind, and you will have thoughts of an evil design:

bbe@Ezekiel:38:13 @Sheba, and Dedan and her traders, Tarshish with all her traders, will say to you, Have you come to take our goods? have you got your armies together to take away our property by force? to take away silver and gold, cattle and goods, to go off with great wealth?

bbe@Ezekiel:38:15 @And you will come from your place in the inmost parts of the north, you and a great number of peoples with you, all of them on horseback, a great force and a strong army:

bbe@Ezekiel:38:16 @And you will come up against my people Israel, like a cloud covering the land; and it will come about, in the last days, that I will make you come against my land, so that the nations may have knowledge of me when I make myself holy in you, O Gog, before their eyes.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:17 @This is what the Lord has said: You are he of whom I gave them word in earlier times by my servants, the prophets of Israel, who in those days went on saying, year after year, that I would make you come up against them.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:18 @And it will come about in that day, when Gog comes up against the land of Israel, says the Lord, that my wrath will come up, and my passion and my bitter feeling.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:20 @So that the fish of the sea and the birds of heaven and the beasts of the field and everything moving on the earth, and all the men who are on the face of the earth, will be shaking before me, and the mountains will be overturned and the high places will come down, and every wall will come falling down to the earth.

bbe@Ezekiel:38:23 @And I will make my name great and make myself holy, and I will make myself clear to a number of nations; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:1 @And you, son of man, be a prophet against Gog, and say, These are the words of the Lord: See, I am against you, O Gog, ruler of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal:

bbe@Ezekiel:39:2 @And turning you round, I will be your guide, and make you come up from the inmost parts of the north; I will make you come on to the mountains of Israel:

bbe@Ezekiel:39:4 @On the mountains of Israel you will come down, you and all your forces and the peoples who are with you: I will give you to cruel birds of every sort and to the beasts of the field to be their food.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:5 @You will come down in the open field: for I have said it, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:7 @And I will make clear my holy name among my people Israel; I will no longer let my holy name be made unclean: and the nations will be certain that I am the Lord, the Holy One in Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:9 @And those who are living in the towns of Israel will go out and make fires of the instruments of war, burning the body-covers and the breastplates, the bows and the arrows and the sticks and the spears, and for seven years they will make fires of them:

bbe@Ezekiel:39:10 @And they will take no wood out of the field or have any cut down in the woods; for they will make their fires of the instruments of war: and they will take by force the property of those who took their property, and go off with the goods of those who took their goods, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:11 @And it will come about in those days, that I will give to Gog a last resting-place there in Israel, in the valley of Abarim on the east of the sea: and those who go through will be stopped: and there Gog and all his people will be put to rest, and the place will be named, The valley of Hamon-gog.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:14 @And they will put on one side men to do no other work but to go through the land and put in the earth the rest of those who are still on the face of the land, to make it clean: after seven months are ended they are to make a search.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:17 @And you, son of man, this is what the Lord has said: Say to the birds of every sort and to all the beasts of the field, Get together and come; come together on every side to the offering which I am putting to death for you, a great offering on the mountains of Israel, so that you may have flesh for your food and blood for your drink.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:18 @The flesh of the men of war will be your food, and your drink the blood of the princes of the earth, of sheep and lambs, of he-goats, of oxen, all of them fat beasts of Bashan.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:19 @You will go on feasting on the fat till you are full, and drinking the blood till you are overcome with it, of my offering which I have put to death for you.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:20 @At my table you will have food in full measure, horses and war-carriages, great men and all the men of war, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:21 @And I will put my glory among the nations, and all the nations will see my punishments which I have put into effect, and my hand which I have put on them.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:23 @And it will be clear to the nations that the children of Israel were taken away prisoners for their evil-doing; because they did wrong against me, and my face was covered from them: so I gave them up into the hands of their attackers, and they all came to their end by the sword.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:24 @In the measure of their unclean ways and their sins, so I did to them; and I kept my face covered from them.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:25 @For this cause the Lord has said, Now I will let the fate of Jacob be changed, and I will have mercy on all the children of Israel, and will take care of the honour of my holy name.

bbe@Ezekiel:39:26 @And they will be conscious of their shame and of all the wrong which they have done against me, when they are living in their land with no sense of danger and with no one to be a cause of fear to them;

bbe@Ezekiel:40:1 @In the twenty-fifth year after we had been taken away prisoners, in the first month of the year, on the tenth day of the month, in the fourteenth year after the town was taken, on the very same day, the hand of the Lord was on me, and he took me there.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:2 @In the visions of God he took me into the land of Israel, and put me down on a very high mountain, on which there was, as it seemed, a building like a town opposite me.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:3 @He took me there, and I saw a man, looking like brass, with a linen cord in his hand and a measuring rod: and he was stationed in the doorway.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:4 @And the man said to me, Son of man, see with your eyes and give hearing with your ears, and take to heart everything I am going to let you see; for in order that I might let you see them, you have come here: and give an account of all you see to the children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:5 @And there was a wall on the outside of the house all round, and in the man's hand there was a measuring rod six cubits long by a cubit and a hand's measure: so he took the measure of the building from side to side, one rod; and from base to top, one rod.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:6 @Then he came to the doorway looking to the east, and went up by its steps; and he took the measure of the doorstep, one rod wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:7 @And the watchmen's rooms were one rod long and one rod wide; and the space between the rooms was five cubits; the doorstep of the doorway, by the covered way of the doorway inside, was one rod.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:8 @And he took the measure of the covered way of the doorway inside,

bbe@Ezekiel:40:10 @And the rooms of the doorway on the east were three on this side and three on that; all three were of the same size; and the uprights on this side and on that were of the same size.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:11 @And he took the measure of the opening of the doorway, ten cubits wide; and the way down the doorway was thirteen cubits;

bbe@Ezekiel:40:13 @And he took the measure of the doorway from the back of one room to the back of the other, twenty-five cubits across, from door to door.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:14 @And he took the measure of the covered way, twenty cubits; and opening from the covered way of the doorway was the open square round about.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:16 @And the rooms and their uprights had sloping windows inside the doorway all round, and in the same way the covered way had windows all round on the inside: and on every upright there were palm-trees.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:17 @Then he took me into the outer square, and there were rooms and a stone floor made for the open square all round: there were thirty rooms on the stone floor.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:19 @Then he took the measure of the square across, from before the lower doorway inside to before the inner doorway outside, one hundred cubits. And he took me in the direction of the north,

bbe@Ezekiel:40:20 @And there was a doorway to the outer square, looking to the north; and he took the measure of it to see how wide and how long it was.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:21 @And it had three rooms on this side of it and three on that; its uprights and its covered ways were the same size as those of the first doorway: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:22 @And its windows, and the windows of its covered ways, and its palm-trees, were the same as those of the doorway looking to the east; and there were seven steps up to it; and the covered way went inside.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:23 @And there was a doorway to the inner square opposite the doorway on the north, like the doorway on the east; and he took the measure from doorway to doorway, a hundred cubits.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:24 @And he took me to the south, and I saw a doorway looking to the south: and he took the measure of its rooms and its uprights and its covered ways by these measures.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:27 @And there was a doorway to the inner square looking to the south: he took the measure from doorway to doorway to the south, a hundred cubits.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:28 @Then he took me to the inner square by the south doorway: and he took the measure of the south doorway by these measures;

bbe@Ezekiel:40:29 @And the rooms in it and the uprights and the covered ways, by these measures:

bbe@Ezekiel:40:32 @And he took me into the inner square facing the east: and he took the measure of the doorway by these measures;

bbe@Ezekiel:40:33 @And of the rooms in it and its uprights and its covered ways, by these measures: and there were windows in it and in the covered way round about: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:35 @And he took me to the north doorway: and he took the measure of it by these measures;

bbe@Ezekiel:40:36 @Its rooms, its uprights, and its covered way had the same measures, and its covered way had windows all round: it was fifty cubits long and twenty-five cubits wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:42 @And there were four tables for the burned offering, made of cut stone, one and a half cubits long, one and a half cubits wide and a cubit high, where the instruments were placed which were used for putting to death the burned offering and the beasts for the offerings.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:44 @And he took me into the inner square, and there were two rooms in the inner square, one at the side of the north doorway, facing south; and one at the side of the south doorway, facing north.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:45 @And he said to me, This room, facing south, is for the priests who have the care of the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:46 @And the room facing north is for the priests who have the care of the altar: these are the sons of Zadok, who, from among the sons of Levi, come near to the Lord to do the work of his house.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:47 @And he took the measure of the open square, a hundred cubits long and a hundred cubits wide, being square; and the altar was in front of the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:40:48 @Then he took me to the covered way before the house, and took the measure of its uprights, five cubits on one side and five cubits on the other: and the doorway was fourteen cubits wide; and the side-walls of the doorway were three cubits on one side and three cubits on the other.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:1 @And he took me to the Temple, and took the measure of the uprights, six cubits wide on one side and six cubits wide on the other.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:3 @And he went inside and took the measure of the uprights of the door-opening, two cubits: and the door-opening, six cubits; and the side-walls of the door-opening were seven cubits on one side and seven cubits on the other.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:4 @And by his measure it was twenty cubits long and twenty cubits wide in front of the Temple: and he said to me, This is the most holy place.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:5 @Then he took the measure of the wall of the house, which was six cubits; and of the side-rooms round the house, which were four cubits wide.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:6 @And the side-rooms, room over room, were three times thirty; there were inlets in the wall of the house for the side-rooms round about, for supports in the wall of the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:7 @The side-rooms became wider as they went higher up the house, by the amount of the space let into the wall up round about the house, because of the inlets in the house; and one went up from the lowest floor by steps to the middle, and from the middle to the upper floor.

bbe@Ezekiel:41:13 @And he took the measure of the house; it was a hundred cubits long; and the separate place and the building with its walls was a hundred cubits long;

bbe@Ezekiel:41:15 @And he took the measure of the building in front of the separate place which was at the back of it, and the pillared walks on one side and on the other side; they were a hundred cubits long; and the Temple and the inner part and its outer covered way were covered in;

bbe@Ezekiel:41:22 @The altar was made of wood, and was three cubits high and two cubits long; it had angles, and its base and sides were of wood; and he said to me, This is the table which is before the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:1 @And he took me out into the inner square in the direction of the north: and he took me into the rooms which were opposite the separate place and opposite the building to the north.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:10 @(And he took me) to the south, and in front of the separate place and in front of the building there were rooms.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:11 @And there was a walk in front of them like that by the rooms on the north; they were equally long and wide; and the ways out of them were the same in design and had the same sort of doors.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:13 @And he said to me, The north rooms and the south rooms in front of the separate place are the holy rooms, where the priests who come near the Lord take the most holy things for their food: there the most holy things are placed, with the meal offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error; for the place is holy.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:14 @When the priests go in, they may not go out of the holy place into the outer square, and there they are to put the robes in which they do the work of the Lord's house, for they are holy: and they have to put on other clothing before they come near that which has to do with the people.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:15 @And when he had come to the end of measuring the inner house, he took me out to the doorway looking to the east, and took its measure all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:16 @He went round and took the measure of it on the east side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:17 @And he went round and took the measure of it on the north side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:18 @And he went round and took the measure of it on the south side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:19 @And he went round and took the measure of it on the west side with the measuring rod, five hundred, measured with the rod all round.

bbe@Ezekiel:42:20 @He took its measure on the four sides: and it had a wall all round, five hundred long and five hundred wide, separating what was holy from what was common.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:1 @And he took me to the doorway looking to the east:

bbe@Ezekiel:43:3 @And the vision which I saw was like the vision I had seen when he came for the destruction of the town: and like the vision which I saw by the river Chebar; and I went down on my face.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:4 @And the glory of the Lord came into the house by the way of the doorway looking to the east.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:5 @And the spirit, lifting me up, took me into the inner square; and I saw that the house was full of the glory of the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:6 @And the voice of one talking to me came to my ears from inside the house; and the man was by my side.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:7 @And he said to me, Son of man, this is the place where the seat of my power is and the resting-place of my feet, where I will be among the children of Israel for ever: and no longer will the people of Israel make my holy name unclean, they or their kings, by their loose ways and by the dead bodies of their kings;

bbe@Ezekiel:43:8 @By putting their doorstep by my doorstep, and the pillar of their door by the pillar of my door, with only a wall between me and them; and they have made my holy name unclean by the disgusting things which they have done: so in my wrath I sent destruction on them.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:9 @Now let them put their loose ways and the dead bodies of their kings far from me, and I will be among them for ever.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:10 @You, son of man, give the children of Israel an account of this house, so that they may be shamed because of their evil-doing: and let them see the vision of it and its image.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:11 @And they will be shamed by what they have done; so give them the knowledge of the form of the house and its structure, and the ways out of it and into it, and all its laws and its rules, writing it down for them: so that they may keep all its laws and do them.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:13 @And these are the measures of the altar in cubits: (the cubit being a cubit and a hand's measure;) its hollow base is a cubit high and a cubit wide, and it has an overhanging edge as wide as a hand-stretch all round it:

bbe@Ezekiel:43:18 @And he said to me, Son of man, the Lord God has said, These are the rules for the altar, when they make it, for the offering of burned offerings on it and the draining out of the blood.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:19 @You are to give to the priests, the Levites of the seed of Zadok, who come near to me, says the Lord God, to do my work, a young ox for a sin-offering.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:20 @You are to take some of its blood and put it on the four horns and on the four angles of the shelf and on the edge all round: and you are to make it clean and free from sin.

bbe@Ezekiel:43:27 @And when these days have come to an end, then on the eighth day and after, the priests will make your burned offerings on the altar and your peace-offerings; and I will take pleasure in you, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:1 @And he took me back to the outer doorway of the holy place, looking to the east; and it was shut.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:2 @And the Lord said to me, This doorway is to be shut, it is not to be open, and no man is to go in by it, because the Lord, the God of Israel, has gone in by it; and it is to be shut.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:3 @But the ruler will be seated there to take his food before the Lord; he will go in by the covered way to the door, and will come out by the same way.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:4 @And he took me to the north doorway in front of the house; and, looking, I saw that the house of the Lord was full of the glory of the Lord; and I went down on my face.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:5 @And the Lord said to me, Son of man, take to heart, and let your eyes see and your ears be open to everything I say to you about all the rules of the house of the Lord and all its laws; and take note of the ways into the house and all the ways out of the holy place.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:7 @To have let men from strange lands, without circumcision of heart or flesh, come into my holy place, making my house unclean; and to have made the offering of my food, even the fat and the blood; and in addition to all your disgusting ways, you have let my agreement be broken.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:9 @For this cause the Lord has said, No man from a strange land, without circumcision of heart and flesh, of all those who are living among the children of Israel, is to come into my holy place.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:10 @But as for the Levites, who went far from me, when Israel went out of the right way, turning away from me to go after their images; their punishment will come on them.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:12 @Because they did this work for them before their images, and became a cause of sin to the children of Israel; for this cause my hand has been lifted up against them, says the Lord, and their punishment will be on them.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:13 @And they will not come near me to do the work of priests to me, or come near any of my holy things, or the things which are most holy: but their shame will be on them, and the punishment for the disgusting things which they have done.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:15 @But as for the priests, the sons of Zadok, who took care of my holy place when the children of Israel were turned away from me, they are to come near me to do my work, they will take their places before me, offering to me the fat and the blood, says the Lord;

bbe@Ezekiel:44:16 @They are to come into my holy place and they are to come near to my table, to do my work and have the care of my house.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:17 @And when they come in by the doorways of the inner square, they are to be clothed in linen robes; there is to be no wool on them while they are doing my work in the doorway of the inner square and inside the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:25 @They are not to come near any dead person so as to become unclean: but for a father or mother or son or daughter or brother or for a sister who has no husband, they may make themselves unclean.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:29 @Their food is to be the meal offering and the sin-offering and the offering for error; and everything given specially to the Lord in Israel will be theirs.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:30 @And the best of all the first-fruits of everything, and every offering which is lifted up of all your offerings, will be for the priests: and you are to give the priest the first of your bread-making, so causing a blessing to come on your house.

bbe@Ezekiel:44:31 @The priests may not take for food any bird or beast which has come to a natural death or whose death has been caused by another animal.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:3 @And of this measure, let a space be measured, twenty-five thousand long and ten thousand wide: in it there will be the holy place, even the most holy.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:4 @This holy part of the land is to be for the priests, the servants of the holy place, who come near to the Lord to do his work; it is to be a place for their houses and for grass-land and for cattle.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:7 @And for the ruler there is to be a part on one side and on the other side of the holy offering and of the property of the town, in front of the holy offering and in front of the property of the town on the west of it and on the east: measured in the same line as one of the parts of the land, from its limit on the west to its limit on the east of the land.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:11 @The ephah and the bath are to be of the same measure, so that the bath is equal to a tenth of a homer, and the ephah to a tenth of a homer: the unit of measure is to be a homer.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:13 @This is the offering you are to give: a sixth of an ephah out of a homer of wheat, and a sixth of an ephah out of a homer of barley;

bbe@Ezekiel:45:14 @And the fixed measure of oil is to be a tenth of a bath from the cor, for ten baths make up the cor;

bbe@Ezekiel:45:15 @And one lamb from the flock out of every two hundred, from all the families of Israel, for a meal offering and for a burned offering and for peace-offerings, to take away their sin, says the Lord.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:17 @And the ruler will be responsible for the burned offering and the meal offering and the drink offering, at the feasts and the new moons and the Sabbaths, at all the fixed feasts of the children of Israel: he will give the sin-offering and meal offering and burned offering and the peace-offerings, to take away the sin of the children of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:19 @And the priest is to take some of the blood of the sin-offering and put it on the uprights at the sides of the doors of the house, and on the four angles of the shelf of the altar, and on the sides of the doorway of the inner square.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:24 @And he is to give a meal offering, an ephah for every ox and an ephah for every sheep and a hin of oil to every ephah.

bbe@Ezekiel:45:25 @In the seventh month, on the fifteenth day of the month, at the feast, he is to give the same for seven days; the sin-offering, the burned offering, the meal offering, and the oil as before.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:1 @This is what the Lord has said: The doorway of the inner square looking to the east is to be shut on the six working days; but on the Sabbath it is to be open, and at the time of the new moon it is to be open.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:5 @And the meal offering is to be an ephah for the sheep, and for the lambs whatever he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:6 @And at the time of the new moon it is to be a young ox of the herd without a mark on him, and six lambs and a male sheep, all without a mark:

bbe@Ezekiel:46:7 @And he is to give a meal offering, an ephah for the ox and an ephah for the sheep, and for the lambs whatever he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:8 @And when the ruler comes in, he is to go in through the covered way of the doorway, and he is to go out by the same way.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:9 @But when the people of the land come before the Lord at the fixed feasts, he who comes in by the north doorway to give worship is to go out by the south doorway; and he who comes in by the south doorway is to go out by the north doorway: he is not to come back by the doorway through which he went in, but is to go straight before him.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:10 @And the ruler, when they come in, is to come among them, and is to go out when they go out.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:11 @At the feasts and the fixed meetings the meal offerings are to be an ephah for an ox, and an ephah for a male sheep, and for the lambs whatever he is able to give, and a hin of oil to an ephah.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:14 @And you are to give, morning by morning, a meal offering with it, a sixth of an ephah and a third of a hin of oil dropped on the best meal; a meal offering offered to the Lord at all times by an eternal order.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:15 @And they are to give the lamb and the meal offering and the oil, morning by morning, for a burned offering at all times.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:19 @And he took me through by the way in at the side of the doorway into the holy rooms which are the priests', looking to the north: and I saw a place at the side of them to the west.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:20 @And he said to me, This is the place where the offering for error and the sin-offering are to be cooked in water by the priests, and where the meal offering is to be cooked in the oven; so that they may not be taken out into the outer square to make the people holy.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:21 @And he took me out into the outer square and made me go by the four angles of the square; and I saw that in every angle of the open square there was a space shut in.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:22 @In the four angles there were spaces walled in, forty cubits long and thirty wide; the four were of the same size.

bbe@Ezekiel:46:24 @And he said to me, These are the boiling-rooms, where the offering of the people is cooked by the servants of the house.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:1 @And he took me back to the door of the house; and I saw that waters were flowing out from under the doorstep of the house on the east, for the house was facing east: and the waters came down from under, from the right side of the house, on the south side of the altar.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:2 @And he took me out by the north doorway, and made me go round to the outside of the doorway looking to the east; and I saw waters running slowly out on the south side.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:3 @And the man went out to the east with the line in his hand, and after measuring a thousand cubits, he made me go through the waters, which came over my feet.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:4 @And again, measuring a thousand cubits, he made me go through the waters which came up to my knees. Again, measuring a thousand, he made me go through the waters up to the middle of my body.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:5 @Again, after his measuring a thousand, it became a river which it was not possible to go through: for the waters had become deep enough for swimming, a river it was not possible to go through.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:6 @And he said to me, Son of man, have you seen this? Then he took me to the river's edge.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:7 @And he took me back, and I saw at the edge of the river a very great number of trees on this side and on that.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:8 @And he said to me, These waters are flowing out to the east part of the land and down into the Arabah; and they will go to the sea, and the waters will be made sweet.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:9 @And it will come about that every living and moving thing, wherever their streams come, will have life; and there will be very much fish because these waters have come there and have been made sweet: and everything wherever the river comes will have life.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:10 @And fishermen will take up their places by it: from En-gedi as far as En-eglaim will be a place for the stretching out of nets; the fish will be of every sort, like the fish of the Great Sea, a very great number.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:12 @And by the edge of the river, on this side and on that, will come up every tree used for food, whose leaves will ever be green and its fruit will not come to an end: it will have new fruit every month, because its waters come out from the holy place: the fruit will be for food and the leaf will make well those who are ill.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:19 @And the south side to the south will be from Tamar as far as the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the stream of Egypt, to the Great Sea. This is the south side, on the south.

bbe@Ezekiel:47:22 @And you are to make a distribution of it, by the decision of the Lord, for a heritage to you and to the men from other lands who are living among you and who have children in your land: they will be the same to you as if they were Israelites by birth, they will have their heritage with you among the tribes of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:1 @Now these are the names of the tribes: from the north end, from the west on the way of Hethlon to the way into Hamath, in the direction of Hazar-enon, with the limit of Damascus to the north, by Hamath; and on the limit from the east side to the west side: Dan, one part.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:15 @And the other five thousand, measured from side to side, in front of the twenty-five thousand, is to be for common use, for the town, for living in and for a free space: and the town will be in the middle of it.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:16 @And these will be its measures: the north side, four thousand five hundred, and the south side, four thousand five hundred, and on the east side, four thousand five hundred, and on the west side, four thousand five hundred.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:18 @And the rest, in measure as long as the holy offering, will be ten thousand to the east and ten thousand to the west: and its produce will be for food for the workers of the town.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:19 @It will be farmed by workers of the town from all the tribes of Israel.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:21 @And the rest is to be for the prince, on this side and on that side of the holy offering and of the property of the town, in front of the twenty-five thousand to the east, as far as the east limit, and to the west, in front of the twenty-five thousand, as far as the west limit, and of the same measure as those parts; it will be the property of the prince: and the holy offering and holy place of the house will be in the middle of it.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:24 @And on the limit of Benjamin, from the east side to the west side: Simeon, one part.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:25 @And on the limit of Simeon, from the east side to the west side: Issachar, one part.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:28 @And on the limit of Gad, on the south side and to the south of it, the limit will be from Tamar to the waters of Meribath-kadesh, to the stream, to the Great Sea.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:30 @And these are the outskirts of the town: on the north side, four thousand five hundred by measure;

bbe@Ezekiel:48:31 @And the doors of the town are to be named by the names of the tribes of Israel; three doors on the north, one for Reuben, one for Judah, one for Levi;

bbe@Ezekiel:48:32 @And at the east side, four thousand five hundred by measure, and three doors, one for Joseph, one for Benjamin, one for Dan;

bbe@Ezekiel:48:33 @And at the south side, four thousand five hundred by measure, and three doors, one for Simeon, one for Issachar, one for Zebulun;

bbe@Ezekiel:48:34 @At the west side, four thousand five hundred by measure, with their three doors, one for Gad, one for Asher, one for Naphtali.

bbe@Ezekiel:48:35 @It is to be eighteen thousand all round: and the name of the town from that day will be, The Lord is there.

bbe@Daniel:1:1 @In the third year of the rule of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, came to Jerusalem, shutting it in with his forces.

bbe@Daniel:1:2 @And the Lord gave into his hands Jehoiakim, king of Judah, with some of the vessels of the house of God; and he took them away into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he put the vessels into the store-house of his god.

bbe@Daniel:1:3 @And the king gave orders to Ashpenaz, the captain of his unsexed servants, to take in some of the children of Israel, certain of the king's family, and those of high birth;

bbe@Daniel:1:4 @Young men who were strong and healthy, good-looking, and trained in all wisdom, having a good education and much knowledge, and able to take positions in the king's house; and to have them trained in the writing and language of the Chaldaeans.

bbe@Daniel:1:5 @And a regular amount of food and wine every day from the king's table was ordered for them by the king; and they were to be cared for for three years so that at the end of that time they might take their places before the king.

bbe@Daniel:1:7 @And the captain of the unsexed servants gave them names; to Daniel he gave the name of Belteshazzar, to Hananiah the name of Shadrach, to Mishael the name of Meshach, and to Azariah the name of Abed-nego.

bbe@Daniel:1:8 @And Daniel had come to the decision that he would not make himself unclean with the king's food or wine; so he made a request to the captain of the unsexed servants that he might not make himself unclean.

bbe@Daniel:1:10 @And the captain of the unsexed servants said to Daniel, I am in fear of my lord the king, who has given orders about your food and your drink; what if he sees you looking less happy than the other young men of your generation? then you would have put my head in danger from the king.

bbe@Daniel:1:13 @Then take a look at our faces and the faces of the young men who have food from the king's table; and, having seen them, do to your servants as it seems right to you.

bbe@Daniel:1:15 @And at the end of ten days their faces seemed fairer and they were fatter in flesh than all the young men who had their food from the king's table.

bbe@Daniel:1:16 @So the keeper regularly took away their meat and the wine which was to have been their drink, and gave them grain.

bbe@Daniel:1:17 @Now as for these four young men, God gave them knowledge and made them expert in all book-learning and wisdom: and Daniel was wise in all visions and dreams.

bbe@Daniel:1:18 @Now at the end of the time fixed by the king for them to go in, the captain of the unsexed servants took them in to Nebuchadnezzar.

bbe@Daniel:1:20 @And in any business needing wisdom and good sense, about which the king put questions to them, he saw that they were ten times better than all the wonder-workers and users of secret arts in all his kingdom.

bbe@Daniel:2:2 @Then the king gave orders that the wonder-workers, and the users of secret arts, and those who made use of evil powers, and the Chaldaeans, were to be sent for to make clear to the king his dreams. So they came and took their places before the king.

bbe@Daniel:2:3 @And the king said to them, I have had a dream, and my spirit is troubled by the desire to have the dream made clear to me.

bbe@Daniel:2:5 @The king made answer and said to the Chaldaeans, This is my decision: if you do not make clear to me the dream and the sense of it, you will be cut in bits and your houses made waste.

bbe@Daniel:2:6 @But if you make clear the dream and the sense of it, you will have from me offerings and rewards and great honour: so make clear to me the dream and the sense of it.

bbe@Daniel:2:7 @A second time they said in answer, Let the king give his servants an account of his dream, and we will make clear the sense.

bbe@Daniel:2:8 @The king made answer and said, I am certain that you are attempting to get more time, because you see that my decision is fixed;

bbe@Daniel:2:9 @That if you do not make my dream clear to me there is only one fate for you: for you have made ready false and evil words to say before me till the times are changed: so give me an account of the dream, and I will be certain that you are able to make the sense of it clear.

bbe@Daniel:2:12 @Because of this the king was angry and full of wrath, and gave orders for the destruction of all the wise men of Babylon.

bbe@Daniel:2:13 @So the order went out that the wise men were to be put to death; and they were looking for Daniel and his friends to put them to death.

bbe@Daniel:2:14 @Then Daniel gave an answer with wisdom and good sense to Arioch, the captain of the king's armed men, who had gone out to put to death the wise men of Babylon;

bbe@Daniel:2:16 @And Daniel went in and made a request to the king to give him time and he would make clear the sense of his dream to the king.

bbe@Daniel:2:18 @So that they might make a request for the mercy of the God of heaven in the question of this secret; so that Daniel and his friends might not come to destruction with the rest of the wise men of Babylon.

bbe@Daniel:2:20 @And Daniel said in answer, May the name of God be praised for ever and ever: for wisdom and strength are his:

bbe@Daniel:2:21 @By him times and years are changed: by him kings are taken away and kings are lifted up: he gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those whose minds are awake:

bbe@Daniel:2:23 @I give you praise and worship, O God of my fathers, who have given me wisdom and strength, and have now made clear to me what we were requesting from you: for you have given us knowledge of the king's business.

bbe@Daniel:2:24 @For this reason Daniel went to Arioch, to whom the king had given orders for the destruction of the wise men of Babylon, and said to him, Do not put to death the wise men of Babylon: take me in before the king and I will make clear to him the sense of the dream.

bbe@Daniel:2:26 @The king made answer and said to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, Are you able to make clear to me the dream which I saw and its sense?

bbe@Daniel:2:27 @Then Daniel said in answer to the king, No wise men, or users of secret arts, or wonder-workers, or readers of signs, are able to make clear to the king the secret he is searching for;

bbe@Daniel:2:29 @As for you, O King, the thoughts which came to you on your bed were of what will come about after this: and the unveiler of secrets has made clear to you what is to come.

bbe@Daniel:2:30 @As for me, this secret is not made clear to me because of any wisdom which I have more than any living man, but in order that the sense of the dream may be made clear to the king, and that you may have knowledge of the thoughts of your heart.

bbe@Daniel:2:35 @Then the iron and the earth, the brass and the silver and the gold, were smashed together, and became like the dust on the floors where grain is crushed in summer; and the wind took them away so that no sign of them was to be seen: and the stone which gave the image a blow became a great mountain, covering all the earth.

bbe@Daniel:2:38 @Wherever the children of men are living; into whose hands he has given the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven, and has made you ruler over them all, you are the head of gold.

bbe@Daniel:2:39 @And after you another kingdom, lower than you, will come to power; and a third kingdom, of brass, ruling over all the earth.

bbe@Daniel:2:40 @And the fourth kingdom will be strong as iron: because, as all things are broken and overcome by iron, so it will have the power of crushing and smashing down all the earth.

bbe@Daniel:2:41 @And as you saw the feet and toes, part of potter's work and part of iron, there will be a division in the kingdom; but there will be some of the strength of iron in it, because you saw the iron mixed with the potter's earth.

bbe@Daniel:2:44 @And in the days of those kings, the God of heaven will put up a kingdom which will never come to destruction, and its power will never be given into the hands of another people, and all these kingdoms will be broken and overcome by it, but it will keep its place for ever.

bbe@Daniel:2:48 @Then the king made Daniel great, and gave him offerings in great number, and made him ruler over all the land of Babylon, and chief over all the wise men of Babylon.

bbe@Daniel:2:49 @And at Daniel's request, the king gave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego authority over the business of the land of Babylon: but Daniel was kept near the king's person.

bbe@Daniel:3:2 @And Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to get together all the captains, the chiefs, the rulers, the wise men, the keepers of public money, the judges, the overseers, and all the rulers of the divisions of the country, to come to see the unveiling of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up.

bbe@Daniel:3:3 @Then the captains, the chiefs, the rulers, the wise men, the keepers of public money, the judges, the overseers, and all the rulers of the divisions of the country, came together to see the unveiling of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up; and they took their places before the image which Nebuchadnezzar had put up.

bbe@Daniel:3:5 @That when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, comes to your ears, you are to go down on your faces in worship before the image of gold which Nebuchadnezzar the king has put up:

bbe@Daniel:3:6 @And anyone not falling down and worshipping will that same hour be put into a burning and flaming fire.

bbe@Daniel:3:7 @So at that time, all the people, when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, and all sorts of instruments, came to their ears, went down on their faces in worship before the image of gold which Nebuchadnezzar the king had put up.

bbe@Daniel:3:8 @At that time certain Chaldaeans came near and made a statement against the Jews.

bbe@Daniel:3:10 @You, O King, have given an order that every man, when the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, comes to his ears, is to go down on his face in worship before the image of gold:

bbe@Daniel:3:12 @There are certain Jews whom you have put over the business of the land of Babylon, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego; these men have not given attention to you, O King: they are not servants of your gods or worshippers of the gold image which you have put up.

bbe@Daniel:3:13 @Then Nebuchadnezzar in his wrath and passion gave orders for Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego to be sent for. Then they made these men come in before the king.

bbe@Daniel:3:14 @Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said to them, Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, that you will not be servants of my god or give worship to the image of gold which I have put up?

bbe@Daniel:3:15 @Now if you are ready, on hearing the sound of the horn, pipe, harp, trigon, psaltery, bagpipe, and all sorts of instruments, to go down on your faces in worship before the image which I have made, it is well: but if you will not give worship, that same hour you will be put into a burning and flaming fire; and what god is there who will be able to take you out of my hands?

bbe@Daniel:3:16 @Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, answering Nebuchadnezzar the king, said, There is no need for us to give you an answer to this question.

bbe@Daniel:3:19 @Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of wrath, and the form of his face was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego: and he gave orders that the fire was to be heated up seven times more than it was generally heated.

bbe@Daniel:3:20 @And he gave orders to certain strong men in his army to put cords on Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego and put them into the burning and flaming fire.

bbe@Daniel:3:21 @Then these men had cords put round them as they were, in their coats, their trousers, their hats, and their clothing, and were dropped into the burning and flaming fire.

bbe@Daniel:3:22 @And because the king's order was not to be put on one side, and the heat of the fire was so great, the men who took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego were burned to death by the flame of the fire.

bbe@Daniel:3:23 @And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, with the cords about them, went down into the burning and flaming fire.

bbe@Daniel:3:24 @Then King Nebuchadnezzar, full of fear and wonder, got up quickly, and said to his wise men, Did we not put three men in cords into the fire? and they made answer and said to the king, True, O King.

bbe@Daniel:3:25 @He made answer and said, Look! I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they are not damaged; and the form of the fourth is like a son of the gods.

bbe@Daniel:3:26 @Then Nebuchadnezzar came near the door of the burning and flaming fire: he made answer and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, you servants of the Most High God, come out and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came out of the fire.

bbe@Daniel:3:27 @And the captains, the chiefs, and the rulers, and the king's wise men who had come together, saw these men, over whose bodies the fire had no power, and not a hair of their heads was burned, and their coats were not changed, and there was no smell of fire about them.

bbe@Daniel:3:28 @Nebuchadnezzar made answer and said, Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, who has sent his angel and kept his servants safe who had faith in him, and who put the king's word on one side and gave up their bodies to the fire, so that they might not be servants or worshippers of any other god but their God.

bbe@Daniel:3:29 @And it is my decision that any people, nation, or language saying evil against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, will be cut to bits and their houses made waste: because there is no other god who is able to give salvation such as this.

bbe@Daniel:3:30 @Then the king gave Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego even greater authority in the land of Babylon.

bbe@Daniel:4:2 @It has seemed good to me to make clear the signs and wonders which the Most High God has done with me.

bbe@Daniel:4:4 @I, Nebuchadnezzar, was at rest in my place, and all things were going well for me in my great house:

bbe@Daniel:4:5 @I saw a dream which was a cause of great fear to me; I was troubled by the images of my mind on my bed, and by the visions of my head.

bbe@Daniel:4:6 @And I gave orders for all the wise men of Babylon to come in before me so that they might make clear to me the sense of my dream.

bbe@Daniel:4:7 @Then the wonder-workers, the users of secret arts, the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs came in to me: and I put the dream before them but they did not make clear the sense of it to me.

bbe@Daniel:4:8 @But at last Daniel came in before me, he whose name was Belteshazzar, after the name of my god, and in whom is the spirit of the holy gods: and I put the dream before him, saying,

bbe@Daniel:4:9 @O Belteshazzar, master of the wonder-workers, because I am certain that the spirit of the holy gods is in you, and you are troubled by no secret; this is the dream which I saw: make clear to me its sense.

bbe@Daniel:4:11 @And the tree became tall and strong, stretching up to heaven, and to be seen from the ends of the earth:

bbe@Daniel:4:16 @Let his heart be changed from that of a man, and the heart of a beast be given to him; and let seven times go by him.

bbe@Daniel:4:17 @This order is fixed by the watchers, and the decision is by the word of the holy ones: so that the living may be certain that the Most High is ruler over the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure, lifting up over it the lowest of men.

bbe@Daniel:4:18 @This dream I, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw; and do you, O Belteshazzar, make clear the sense of it, for all the wise men of my kingdom are unable to make the sense of it clear to me; but you are able, for the spirit of the holy gods is in you.

bbe@Daniel:4:19 @Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was at a loss for a time, his thoughts troubling him. The king made answer and said, Belteshazzar, do not be troubled by the dream or by the sense of it. Belteshazzar, answering, said, My lord, may the dream be about your haters, and its sense about those who are against you.

bbe@Daniel:4:20 @The tree which you saw, which became tall and strong, stretching up to heaven and seen from the ends of the earth;

bbe@Daniel:4:22 @It is you, O King, who have become great and strong: for your power is increased and stretching up to heaven, and your rule to the end of the earth.

bbe@Daniel:4:24 @This is the sense of it, O King, and it is the decision of the Most High which has come on my lord the king:

bbe@Daniel:4:25 @That they will send you out from among men, to be with the beasts of the field; they will give you grass for your food like the oxen, and you will be wet with the dew of heaven, and seven times will go by you, till you are certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure.

bbe@Daniel:4:27 @For this cause, O King, let my suggestion be pleasing to you, and let your sins be covered by righteousness and your evil-doing by mercy to the poor, so that the time of your well-being may be longer.

bbe@Daniel:4:28 @All this came to King Nebuchadnezzar.

bbe@Daniel:4:31 @While the word was still in the king's mouth, a voice came down from heaven, saying, O King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is said: The kingdom has gone from you:

bbe@Daniel:4:32 @And they will send you out from among men, to be with the beasts of the field; they will give you grass for your food like the oxen, and seven times will go by you, till you are certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives it to any man at his pleasure.

bbe@Daniel:4:33 @That very hour the order about Nebuchadnezzar was put into effect: and he was sent out from among men, and had grass for his food like the oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hair became long as eagles' feathers and his nails like those of birds.

bbe@Daniel:4:36 @At the same time my reason came back to me; and for the glory of my kingdom, my honour and my great name came back to me; and my wise men and my lords were turned to me again; and I was made safe in my kingdom and had more power than before.

bbe@Daniel:5:2 @Belshazzar, while he was overcome with wine, gave orders for them to put before him the gold and silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar, his father, had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem; so that the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, might take their drink from them.

bbe@Daniel:5:3 @Then they took in the gold and silver vessels which had been in the Temple of the house of God at Jerusalem; and the king and his lords, his wives and his other women, took wine from them.

bbe@Daniel:5:7 @The king, crying out with a loud voice, said that the users of secret arts, the Chaldaeans, and the readers of signs, were to be sent for. The king made answer and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever is able to make out this writing, and make clear to me the sense of it, will be clothed in purple and have a chain of gold round his neck, and will be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom.

bbe@Daniel:5:8 @Then all the king's wise men came in: but they were not able to make out the writing or give the sense of it to the king.

bbe@Daniel:5:10 @The queen, because of the words of the king and his lords, came into the house of the feast: the queen made answer and said, O King, have life for ever; do not be troubled by your thoughts or let the colour go from your face:

bbe@Daniel:5:12 @Because a most special spirit, and knowledge and reason and the power of reading dreams and unfolding dark sayings and answering hard questions, were seen to be in him, even in Daniel (named Belteshazzar by the king): now let Daniel be sent for, and he will make clear the sense of the writing

bbe@Daniel:5:15 @And now the wise men, the users of secret arts, have been sent in before me for the purpose of reading this writing and making clear to me the sense of it: but they are not able to make clear the sense of the thing:

bbe@Daniel:5:16 @And I have had news of you, that you have the power of making things clear, and of answering hard questions: now if you are able to make out the writing and give me the sense of it, you will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain round your neck and be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom.

bbe@Daniel:5:19 @And because of the great power he gave him, all peoples and nations and languages were shaking in fear before him: some he put to death and others he kept living, at his pleasure, lifting up some and putting others down as it pleased him.

bbe@Daniel:5:20 @But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit became hard with pride, he was put down from his place as king, and they took his glory from him:

bbe@Daniel:5:21 @And he was sent out from among the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts', and he was living with the asses of the fields; he had grass for his food like the oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he was certain that the Most High is ruler in the kingdom of men, and gives power over it to anyone at his pleasure.

bbe@Daniel:5:23 @But you have been lifting yourself up against the Lord of heaven, and they have put the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your women, have taken wine in them; and you have given praise to gods of silver and gold, of brass and iron and wood and stone, who are without the power of seeing or hearing, and without knowledge: and to the God in whose hand your breath is, and whose are all your ways, you have not given glory;

bbe@Daniel:5:25 @And this is the writing which was recorded, Mene, tekel, peres.

bbe@Daniel:5:26 @This is the sense of the words: Mene; your kingdom has been numbered by God and ended.

bbe@Daniel:5:28 @Peres; your kingdom has been cut up and given to the Medes and Persians.

bbe@Daniel:5:29 @Then, by the order of Belshazzar, they put a purple robe on Daniel, and a gold chain round his neck, and a public statement was made that he was to be a ruler of high authority in the kingdom.

bbe@Daniel:5:31 @And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being then about sixty-two years old.

bbe@Daniel:6:4 @Then the chief rulers and the captains were looking for some cause for putting Daniel in the wrong in connection with the kingdom, but they were unable to put forward any wrongdoing or error against him; because he was true, and no error or wrong was to be seen in him.

bbe@Daniel:6:5 @Then these men said, We will only get a reason for attacking Daniel in connection with the law of his God.

bbe@Daniel:6:6 @Then these chief rulers and the captains came to the king and said to him, O King Darius, have life for ever.

bbe@Daniel:6:7 @All the chief rulers of the kingdom, the chiefs and the captains, the wise men and the rulers, have made a common decision to put in force a law having the king's authority, and to give a strong order, that whoever makes any request to any god or man but you, O King, for thirty days, is to be put into the lions' hole.

bbe@Daniel:6:8 @Now, O King, put the order in force, signing the writing so that it may not be changed, like the law of the Medes and Persians which may not come to an end.

bbe@Daniel:6:9 @For this reason King Darius put his name on the writing and the order.

bbe@Daniel:6:10 @And Daniel, on hearing that the writing had been signed, went into his house; (now he had windows in his room on the roof opening in the direction of Jerusalem;) and three times a day he went down on his knees in prayer and praise before his God, as he had done before.

bbe@Daniel:6:11 @Then these men were watching and saw Daniel making prayers and requesting grace before his God.

bbe@Daniel:6:12 @Then they came near before the king and said, O King, have you not put your name to an order that any man who makes a request to any god or man but you, O King, for thirty days, is to be put into the lions' hole? The king made answer and said, The thing is fixed by the law of the Medes and Persians which may not come to an end.

bbe@Daniel:6:13 @Then they made answer and said before the king, Daniel, one of the prisoners of Judah, has no respect for you, O King, or for the order signed by you, but three times a day he makes his prayer to God.

bbe@Daniel:6:14 @When this thing came to the king's ears, it was very evil to him, and his heart was fixed on keeping Daniel safe, and till the going down of the sun he was doing everything in his power to get him free

bbe@Daniel:6:15 @Then these men said to the king, Be certain, O King, that by the law of the Medes and Persians no order or law which the king has put into force may be changed.

bbe@Daniel:6:16 @Then the king gave the order, and they took Daniel and put him into the lions' hole. The king made answer and said to Daniel, Your God, whose servant you are at all times, will keep you safe.

bbe@Daniel:6:20 @And when he came near the hole where Daniel was, he gave a loud cry of grief; the king made answer and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is your God, whose servant you are at all times, able to keep you safe from the lions?

bbe@Daniel:6:22 @My God has sent his angel to keep the lions' mouths shut, and they have done me no damage: because I was seen to be without sin before him; and further, before you, O King, I have done no wrong.

bbe@Daniel:6:24 @And at the king's order, they took those men who had said evil against Daniel, and put them in the lions' hole, with their wives and their children; and they had not got to the floor of the hole before the lions overcame them and all their bones were broken.

bbe@Daniel:6:26 @It is my order that in all the kingdom of which I am ruler, men are to be shaking with fear before the God of Daniel: for he is the living God, unchanging for ever, and his kingdom is one which will never come to destruction, his rule will go on to the end.

bbe@Daniel:6:27 @He gives salvation and makes men free from danger, and does signs and wonders in heaven and earth, who has kept Daniel safe from the power of the lions.

bbe@Daniel:7:1 @In the first year of Belshazzar, king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream, and visions came into his head on his bed: then he put the dream in writing.

bbe@Daniel:7:3 @And four great beasts came up from the sea, different one from another.

bbe@Daniel:7:7 @After this, in my vision of the night, I saw a fourth beast, a thing causing fear and very troubling, full of power and very strong; and it had great iron teeth: it took its food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping down the rest with its feet: it was different from all the beasts before it; and it had ten horns.

bbe@Daniel:7:9 @I went on looking till the seats of kings were placed, and one like a very old man took his seat: his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head was like clean wool; his seat was flames of fire and its wheels burning fire.

bbe@Daniel:7:10 @A stream of fire was flowing and coming out from before him: a thousand thousands were his servants, and ten thousand times ten thousand were in their places before him: the judge was seated and the books were open.

bbe@Daniel:7:12 @As for the rest of the beasts, their authority was taken away: but they let them go on living for a measure of time.

bbe@Daniel:7:13 @I saw in visions of the night, and there was coming with the clouds of heaven one like a man, and he came to the one who was very old, and they took him near before him.

bbe@Daniel:7:14 @And to him was given authority and glory and a kingdom; and all peoples, nations, and languages were his servants: his authority is an eternal authority which will not come to an end, and his kingdom is one which will not come to destruction.

bbe@Daniel:7:15 @As for me, Daniel, my spirit was pained because of this, and the visions of my head were troubling me.

bbe@Daniel:7:16 @I came near to one of those who were waiting there, questioning him about what all this was

bbe@Daniel:7:19 @Then it was my desire to have certain knowledge about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, a cause of great fear, whose teeth were of iron and his nails of brass; who took his food, crushing some of it to bits and stamping on the rest with his feet;

bbe@Daniel:7:20 @And about the ten horns on his head and the other which came up, causing the fall of three; that horn which had eyes, and a mouth saying great things, which seemed to be greater than the other horns.

bbe@Daniel:7:21 @And I saw how that horn made war on the saints and overcame them,

bbe@Daniel:7:22 @Till he came, who was very old, and the decision was made and the authority was given to the saints of the Most High; and the time came when the saints took the kingdom.

bbe@Daniel:7:23 @This is what he said: The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom which will come on earth, different from all the kingdoms, and it will overcome all the earth, crushing it down and smashing it.

bbe@Daniel:7:24 @And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will come to power; and after them another will come up: he will be different from the first ones and will put down three kings.

bbe@Daniel:7:25 @And he will say words against the Most High, attempting to put an end to the saints of the Most High; and he will have the idea of changing times and law; and the saints will be given into his hands for a time and times and half a time.

bbe@Daniel:7:26 @But the judge will be seated, and they will put an end to his authority, to overcome it and send complete destruction on it.

bbe@Daniel:7:28 @Here is the end of the account. As for me, Daniel, I was greatly troubled by my thoughts, and the colour went from my face: but I kept the thing in my heart.

bbe@Daniel:8:1 @In the third year of the rule of Belshazzar the king, a vision was seen by me, Daniel, after the one I saw at first.

bbe@Daniel:8:6 @And he came to the two-horned sheep which I saw before the stream, rushing at him in the heat of his power.

bbe@Daniel:8:7 @And I saw him come right up to the sheep, and he was moved with wrath against him, attacking the sheep so that his two horns were broken; and the sheep had not strength to keep his place before him, but was pushed down on the earth and crushed under his feet: and there was no one to get the sheep out of his power.

bbe@Daniel:8:8 @And the he-goat became very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and in its place came up four other horns turned to the four winds of heaven.

bbe@Daniel:8:9 @And out of one of them came another horn, a little one, which became very great, stretching to the south and to the east and to the beautiful land.

bbe@Daniel:8:10 @And it became great, even as high as the army of heaven, pulling down some of the army, even of the stars, to the earth and crushing them under its feet.

bbe@Daniel:8:13 @Then there came to my ears the voice of a holy one talking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was talking, How long will the vision be while the regular burned offering is taken away, and the unclean thing causing fear is put up, and the holy place crushed under foot?

bbe@Daniel:8:15 @And it came about that when I, Daniel, had seen this vision, I had a desire for the sense of it to be unfolded; and I saw one before me in the form of a man.

bbe@Daniel:8:16 @And the voice of a man came to my ears between the sides of the Ulai, crying out and saying, Gabriel, make the vision clear to this man.

bbe@Daniel:8:17 @So he came and took his place near where I was; and when he came, I was full of fear and went down on my face: but he said to me, Let it be clear to you, O son of man; for the vision has to do with the time of the end.

bbe@Daniel:8:18 @Now while he was talking to me, I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth: but touching me, he put me on my feet where I had been

bbe@Daniel:8:19 @And he said, See, I will make clear to you what is to come in the later time of the wrath: for it has to do with the fixed time of the end.

bbe@Daniel:8:20 @The sheep which you saw with two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.

bbe@Daniel:8:22 @And as for that which was broken, in place of which four came up, four kingdoms will come up from his nation, but not with his power.

bbe@Daniel:8:23 @And in the later years of their kingdom, when their evil doings have become complete, there will come up a king full of pride and expert in dark sayings.

bbe@Daniel:8:25 @And his designs will be turned against the holy people, causing deceit to do well in his hand; in his heart he will make himself great, and send destruction on numbers who are living unconscious of their danger; and he will put himself up against the prince of princes; but he will be broken, though not by men's hands.

bbe@Daniel:8:27 @And I, Daniel, was ill for some days; then I got up and did the king's business: and I was full of wonder at the vision, but no one was able to give the sense of it.

bbe@Daniel:9:1 @In the first year of Darius, the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the kingdom of the Chaldaeans;

bbe@Daniel:9:4 @And I made prayer to the Lord my God, putting our sins before him, and said, O Lord, the great God, greatly to be feared. keeping your agreement and mercy with those who have love for you and do your orders;

bbe@Daniel:9:6 @We have not given ear to your servants the prophets, who said words in your name to our kings and our rulers and our fathers and all the people of the land.

bbe@Daniel:9:7 @O Lord, righteousness is yours, but shame is on us, even to this day; and on the men of Judah and the people of Jerusalem, and on all Israel, those who are near and those who are far off, in all the countries where you have sent them because of the sin which they have done against you.

bbe@Daniel:9:8 @O Lord, shame is on us, on our kings and our rulers and our fathers, because of our sin against you.

bbe@Daniel:9:9 @With the Lord our God are mercies and forgiveness, for we have gone against him;

bbe@Daniel:9:13 @As it was recorded in the law of Moses, all this evil has come on us: but we have made no prayer for grace from the Lord our God that we might be turned from our evil doings and come to true wisdom.

bbe@Daniel:9:14 @So the Lord has been watching over this evil and has made it come on us: for the Lord our God is upright in all his acts which he has done, and we have not given ear to his voice.

bbe@Daniel:9:15 @And now, O Lord our God, who took your people out of the land of Egypt with a strong hand and made a great name for yourself even to this day; we are sinners, we have done evil.

bbe@Daniel:9:16 @O Lord, because of your righteousness, let your wrath and your passion be turned away from your town Jerusalem, your holy mountain: because, through our sins and the evil-doing of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people have become a cause of shame to all who are round about us.

bbe@Daniel:9:18 @O my God, let your ear be turned and give hearing; let your eyes be open and see how we have been made waste and the town which is named by your name: for we are not offering our prayers before you because of our righteousness, but because of your great mercies.

bbe@Daniel:9:19 @O Lord, give ear; O Lord, have forgiveness; O Lord, take note and do; let there be no more waiting; for the honour of your name, O my God, because your town and your people are named by your name.

bbe@Daniel:9:21 @Even while I was still in prayer, the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at first when my weariness was great, put his hand on me about the time of the evening offering.

bbe@Daniel:9:22 @And teaching me and talking to me he said, O Daniel, I have come now to give you wisdom.

bbe@Daniel:9:23 @At the first word of your prayer a word went out, and I have come to give you knowledge; for you are a man dearly loved: so give thought to the word and let the vision be clear to you.

bbe@Daniel:9:24 @Seventy weeks have been fixed for your people and your holy town, to let wrongdoing be complete and sin come to its full limit, and for the clearing away of evil-doing and the coming in of eternal righteousness: so that the vision and the word of the prophet may be stamped as true, and to put the holy oil on a most holy place.

bbe@Daniel:9:26 @And at the end of the times, even after the sixty-two weeks, one on whom the holy oil has been put will be cut off and have no...; and the town and the holy place will be made waste together with a prince; and the end will come with an overflowing of waters, and even to the end there will be war; the making waste which has been fixed.

bbe@Daniel:9:27 @And a strong order will be sent out against the great number for one week; and so for half of the week the offering and the meal offering will come to an end; and in its place will be an unclean thing causing fear; till the destruction which has been fixed is let loose on him who has made waste.

bbe@Daniel:10:1 @In the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia, a secret was unfolded to Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar; and the thing was true, even a hard work: and he had knowledge of it, and the vision was clear to him.

bbe@Daniel:10:3 @I had no pleasing food, no meat or wine came into my mouth, and I put no oil on my body till three full weeks were ended.

bbe@Daniel:10:6 @And his body was like the beryl, and his face had the look of a thunder-flame, and his eyes were like burning lights, and his arms and feet like the colour of polished brass, and the sound of his voice was like the sound of an army.

bbe@Daniel:10:7 @And I, Daniel, was the only one who saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see it; but a great shaking came on them and they went in flight to take cover.

bbe@Daniel:10:8 @So I was by myself, and I saw this great vision, and all my strength went from me; and the colour went from my face.

bbe@Daniel:10:9 @But the sound of his words came to my ears, and on hearing his voice I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth

bbe@Daniel:10:10 @Then a hand gave me a touch, awaking me, and putting me on my knees and my hands.

bbe@Daniel:10:11 @And he said to me, O Daniel, you man dearly loved, take in the sense of the words I say to you and get up on to your feet: for to you I am now sent; and when he had said this to me I got on to my feet, shaking with fear.

bbe@Daniel:10:12 @Then he said to me, Have no fear, Daniel; for from the first day when you gave your heart to getting wisdom and making yourself poor in spirit before your God, your words have come to his ears: and I have come because of your words.

bbe@Daniel:10:13 @But the angel of the kingdom of Persia put himself against me for twenty-one days; but Michael, one of the chief angels, came to my help; and when I came he was still there with the angel of the kings of Persia.

bbe@Daniel:10:14 @Now I have come to give you knowledge of the fate of your people in the later days; for there is still a vision for the days.

bbe@Daniel:10:15 @And after he had said these words to me, I kept my face turned to the earth and was unable to say anything.

bbe@Daniel:10:16 @Then one whose form was like the sons of men put his finger on my lips; and opening my mouth, I said to him who was before me, O my lord, because of the vision my pains have come on me, and I have no more strength.

bbe@Daniel:10:17 @For how may this servant of my lord have talk with my lord? for, as for me, straight away my strength went from me and there was no breath in my body.

bbe@Daniel:10:18 @Then again one having the form of a man put his hand on me and gave me strength.

bbe@Daniel:10:19 @And he said to me, O man greatly loved, have no fear: peace be with you, be strong and let your heart be lifted up. And at his words I became strong, and said, Let my lord say on, for you have given me strength.

bbe@Daniel:10:20 @Then he said, It is clear to you why I have come to you. And now I will give you an account of what is recorded in the true writings:

bbe@Daniel:10:21 @But I am going back to make war with the angel of Persia, and when I am gone, the angel of Greece will come. And there is no one on my side against these, but Michael, your angel.

bbe@Daniel:11:1 @And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede I was on his side to make his position safe and make him strong.

bbe@Daniel:11:2 @And now I will make clear to you what is true. There are still three kings to come in Persia, and the fourth will have much greater wealth than all of them: and when he has become strong through his wealth, he will put his forces in motion against all the kingdoms of Greece.

bbe@Daniel:11:3 @And a strong king will come to power, ruling with great authority and doing whatever is his pleasure.

bbe@Daniel:11:4 @And when he has become strong, his kingdom will be broken and parted to the four winds of heaven; but not to his offspring, for it will be uprooted; and his kingdom will be for the others and not for these: but not with the same authority as his.

bbe@Daniel:11:6 @And at the end of years they will be joined together; and the daughter of the king of the south will come to the king of the north to make an agreement: but she will not keep the strength of her arm; and his offspring will not keep their place; but she will be uprooted, with those who were the cause of her coming, and her son, and he who took her in those times.

bbe@Daniel:11:7 @But out of a branch from her roots one will come up to take his place, who will come against the army, forcing his way into the strong place of the king of the north, and he will take them in hand and overcome them:

bbe@Daniel:11:8 @And their gods and their metal images and their fair vessels of silver and gold he will take away into the south; and for some years he will keep away from the king of the north.

bbe@Daniel:11:9 @And he will come into the kingdom of the king of the south, but he will go back to his land.

bbe@Daniel:11:11 @And the king of the south will be moved with wrath, and will come out and make war on him, on this same king of the north: and he will get together a great army, but the army will be given into his hand

bbe@Daniel:11:14 @In those times, a number will take up arms against the king of the south: and the children of the violent among your people will be lifting themselves up to make the vision come true; but it will be their downfall.

bbe@Daniel:11:15 @So the king of the north will come, and put up earthworks and take a well-armed town: and the forces of the king of the south will make an attempt to keep their position, even the best of his army, but they will not have strength to do so.

bbe@Daniel:11:16 @And he who comes against him will do his pleasure, and no one will be able to keep his place before him: he will take up his position in the beautiful land and in his hand there will be destruction.

bbe@Daniel:11:17 @And it will be his purpose to come with the strength of all his kingdom, but in place of this he will make an agreement with him; and he will give him the daughter of women to send destruction on it; but this will not take place or come about.

bbe@Daniel:11:18 @After this, his face will be turned to the islands, and he will take a number of them: but a chief, by his destruction, will put an end to the shame offered by him; and more than this, he will make his shame come back on him.

bbe@Daniel:11:20 @Then his place will be taken by one who will send out a man with the glory of a king to get wealth together; but after a short time destruction will overtake him, but not in wrath or in the fight.

bbe@Daniel:11:21 @And his place will be taken by a low person, to whom the honour of the kingdom had not been given: but he will come in time of peace and will get the kingdom by fair words.

bbe@Daniel:11:22 @And his forces will be completely taken away from before him and broken; and even the ruler of the agreement will have the same fate.

bbe@Daniel:11:23 @And from the time when they make an agreement with him, he will be working falsely: for he will take up arms suddenly with a small force,

bbe@Daniel:11:24 @Against fertile places, and will make waste a part of the country; and he will do what his fathers have not done, or his fathers' fathers; he will make distribution among them of goods taken in war and by force, and of property: he will even make designs against the strong places for a time.

bbe@Daniel:11:26 @And his fears will overcome him and be the cause of his downfall, and his army will come to complete destruction, and a great number will be put to the sword.

bbe@Daniel:11:27 @And as for these two kings, their hearts will be fixed on doing evil and they will say false words at one table; but it will come to nothing: for the end will be at the time fixed.

bbe@Daniel:11:28 @And he will go back to his land with great wealth; and his heart will be against the holy agreement; and he will do his pleasure and go back to his land.

bbe@Daniel:11:29 @At the time fixed he will come back and come into the south; but in the later time it will not be as it was before.

bbe@Daniel:11:30 @For those who go out from the west will come against him, and he will be in fear and will go back, full of wrath against the holy agreement; and he will do his pleasure: and he will go back and be united with those who have given up the holy agreement.

bbe@Daniel:11:32 @And those who do evil against the agreement will be turned to sin by his fair words: but the people who have knowledge of their God will be strong and do well.

bbe@Daniel:11:33 @And those who are wise among the people will be the teachers of the mass of the people: but they will come to their downfall by the sword and by the flame, being made prisoners and undergoing loss for a long time.

bbe@Daniel:11:34 @Now at the time of their downfall they will have a little help, but numbers will be joined to them in the town, and in their separate heritages.

bbe@Daniel:11:35 @And some of those who are wise will have wisdom in testing themselves and making themselves clean, till the time of the end: for it is still for the fixed time.

bbe@Daniel:11:37 @He will have no respect for the gods of his fathers or for the god desired by women; he will have no respect for any god: for he will put himself on high over all.

bbe@Daniel:11:38 @But in place of this he will give honour to the god of armed places, and to a god of whom his fathers had no knowledge he will give honour with gold and silver and jewels and things to be desired.

bbe@Daniel:11:40 @And at the time of the end, the king of the south will make an attack on him: and the king of the north will come against him like a storm-wind, with war-carriages and horsemen and numbers of ships; and he will go through many lands like overflowing waters.

bbe@Daniel:11:41 @And he will come into the beautiful land, and tens of thousands will be overcome: but these will be kept from falling into his hands: Edom and Moab and the chief of the children of Ammon.

bbe@Daniel:11:45 @He will put the tents of his great house between the sea and the beautiful holy mountain: but he will come to his end with no helper.

bbe@Daniel:12:1 @And at that time Michael will take up his place, the great angel, who is the supporter of the children of your people: and there will be a time of trouble, such as there never was from the time there was a nation even till that same time: and at that time your people will be kept safe, everyone who is recorded in the book.

bbe@Daniel:12:2 @And a number of those who are sleeping in the dust of the earth will come out of their sleep, some to eternal life and some to eternal shame.

bbe@Daniel:12:4 @But as for you, O Daniel, let the words be kept secret and the book rolled up and kept shut till the time of the end: numbers will be going out of the way and troubles will be increased.

bbe@Daniel:12:7 @Then in my hearing the man clothed in linen, who was over the river, lifting up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, took an oath by him who is living for ever that it would be a time, times, and a half; and when the power of the crusher of the holy people comes to an end, all these things will be ended.

bbe@Daniel:12:8 @And the words came to my ears, but the sense of them was not clear to me: then I said, O my lord, what is the sense of these things?

bbe@Daniel:12:9 @And he said, Go on your way, Daniel: for the words are secret and shut up till the time of the end;

bbe@Daniel:12:11 @And from the time when the regular burned offering is taken away, and an unclean thing causing fear is put up, there will be a thousand, two hundred and ninety days.

bbe@Daniel:12:12 @A blessing will be on the man who goes on waiting, and comes to the thousand, three hundred and thirty-five days.

bbe@Hosea:1:1 @The word of the Lord which came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel.

bbe@Hosea:1:2 @The start of the word of the Lord by Hosea: And the Lord said to Hosea, Go, take for yourself a wife of loose ways, and children of the same, for the land has been untrue to the Lord.

bbe@Hosea:1:3 @So he took as his wife Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she gave birth to a son.

bbe@Hosea:1:4 @And the Lord said to him, Give him the name of Jezreel, for after a little time I will send punishment for the blood of Jezreel on the line of Jehu, and put an end to the kingdom of Israel.

bbe@Hosea:1:6 @And after that she gave birth to a daughter. And the Lord said, Give her the name Lo-ruhamah; for I will not again have mercy on Israel, to give them forgiveness.

bbe@Hosea:1:7 @But I will have mercy on Judah and will give them salvation by the Lord their God, but not by the bow or the sword or by fighting or by horses or horsemen.

bbe@Hosea:1:9 @And the Lord said, Give him the name Lo-ammi; for you are not my people, and I will not be your God.

bbe@Hosea:1:10 @But still the number of the children of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which may not be measured or numbered; and in place of its being said to them, You are not my people, it will be said to them, You are the sons of the living God

bbe@Hosea:1:11 @And the children of Israel and the children of Judah will come together and take for themselves one head, and will go up from the land, for great will be the day of Jezreel.

bbe@Hosea:2:4 @And I will have no mercy on her children, for they are the children of her loose ways.

bbe@Hosea:2:5 @For their mother has been untrue; she who gave them birth has done things of shame, for she said, I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my linen, my oil and my wine.

bbe@Hosea:2:7 @And if she goes after her lovers she will not overtake them; if she makes search for them she will not see them; then will she say, I will go back to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.

bbe@Hosea:2:9 @So I will take away again my grain in its time and my wine, and I will take away my wool and my linen with which her body might have been covered.

bbe@Hosea:2:10 @And now I will make her shame clear before the eyes of her lovers, and no one will take her out of my hand.

bbe@Hosea:2:11 @And I will put an end to all her joy, her feasts, her new moons, and her Sabbaths, and all her regular meetings.

bbe@Hosea:2:12 @And I will make waste her vines and her fig-trees, of which she has said, These are the payments which my lovers have made to me; and I will make them a waste of trees, and the beasts of the field will take them for food.

bbe@Hosea:2:13 @And I will give her punishment for the days of the Baals, to whom she has been burning perfumes, when she made herself fair with her nose-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, giving no thought to me, says the Lord.

bbe@Hosea:2:14 @For this cause I will make her come into the waste land and will say words of comfort to her.

bbe@Hosea:2:15 @And I will give her vine-gardens from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope; and she will give her answer there as in the days when she was young, and as in the time when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

bbe@Hosea:2:16 @And in that day, says the Lord, you will say to me, Ishi; and you will never again give me the name of Baali;

bbe@Hosea:2:17 @For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and never again will she say their names.

bbe@Hosea:2:18 @And in that day I will make an agreement for them with the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven and the things which go low on the earth; I will put an end to the bow and the sword and war in all the land, and will make them take their rest in peace.

bbe@Hosea:2:19 @And I will take you as my bride for ever; truly, I will take you as my bride in righteousness and in right judging, in love and in mercies.

bbe@Hosea:2:23 @And I will put her as seed in the earth, and I will have mercy on her to whom no mercy was given; and I will say to those who were not my people, You are my people, and they will say, My God.

bbe@Hosea:3:1 @And the Lord said to me, Give your love again to a woman who has a lover and is false to her husband, even as the Lord has love for the children of Israel, though they are turned to other gods and are lovers of grape-cakes.

bbe@Hosea:3:2 @So I got her for myself for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a half of barley;

bbe@Hosea:3:3 @And I said to her, You are to be mine for a long space of time; you are not to be false to me, and no other man is to have you for his wife; and so will I be to you.

bbe@Hosea:3:4 @For the children of Israel will for a long time be without king and without ruler, without offerings and without pillars, and without ephod or images.

bbe@Hosea:3:5 @And after that, the children of Israel will come back and go in search of the Lord their God and David their king; and they will come in fear to the Lord and to his mercies in the days to come.

bbe@Hosea:4:1 @Give ear to the word of the Lord, O children of Israel; for the Lord has a cause against the people of this land, because there is no good faith in it, and no mercy and no knowledge of God in the land.

bbe@Hosea:4:2 @There is cursing and broken faith, violent death and attacks on property, men are untrue in married life, houses are broken into, and there is blood touching blood.

bbe@Hosea:4:6 @Destruction has overtaken my people because they have no knowledge; because you have given up knowledge, I will give you up, so that you will be no priest to me, because you have not kept in mind the law of your God, I will not keep your children in my memory.

bbe@Hosea:4:7 @Even while they were increasing in number they were sinning against me; I will let their glory be changed into shame.

bbe@Hosea:4:9 @And the priest will be like the people; I will give them punishment for their evil ways, and the reward of their acts.

bbe@Hosea:4:10 @They will have food, but they will not be full; they will be false to me, but they will not be increased, because they no longer give thought to the Lord

bbe@Hosea:4:13 @They make offerings on the tops of mountains, burning perfumes in high places, under trees of every sort, because their shade is good: and so your daughters are given up to loose ways and your brides are false to their husbands.

bbe@Hosea:4:14 @I will not give punishment to your daughters or your brides for their evil behaviour; for they make themselves separate with loose women, and make offerings with those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: the people who have no wisdom will be sent away.

bbe@Hosea:4:15 @Do not you, O Israel, come into error; do not you, O Judah, come to Gilgal, or go up to Beth-aven, or take an oath, By the living Lord.

bbe@Hosea:4:18 @Their drink has become bitter; they are completely false; her rulers take pleasure in shame.

bbe@Hosea:4:19 @They are folded in the skirts of the wind; they will be shamed because of their offerings.

bbe@Hosea:5:3 @I have knowledge of Ephraim, and Israel is not secret from me; for now, O Ephraim, you have been false to me, Israel has become unclean.

bbe@Hosea:5:4 @Their works will not let them come back to their God, for a false spirit is in them and they have no knowledge of the Lord.

bbe@Hosea:5:5 @And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; and Ephraim will have a fall through his sins, and the fall of Judah will be the same as theirs.

bbe@Hosea:5:9 @Ephraim will become a waste in the day of punishment; I have given knowledge among the tribes of Israel of what is certain.

bbe@Hosea:5:15 @I will go back to my place till they are made waste; in their trouble they will go after me early and will make search for me.

bbe@Hosea:6:1 @Come, let us go back to the Lord; for he has given us wounds and he will make us well; he has given blows and he will give help.

bbe@Hosea:6:3 @And let us have knowledge, let us go after the knowledge of the Lord; his going out is certain as the dawn, his decisions go out like the light; he will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.

bbe@Hosea:6:6 @Because my desire is for mercy and not offerings; for the knowledge of God more than for burned offerings.

bbe@Hosea:6:7 @But like a man, they have gone against the agreement; there they were false to me.

bbe@Hosea:7:1 @When my desire was for the fate of my people to be changed and to make Israel well, then the sin of Ephraim was made clear, and the evil-doing of Samaria; for their ways are false, and the thief comes into the house, while the band of outlaws takes property by force in the streets.

bbe@Hosea:7:2 @And they do not say to themselves that I keep in mind all their sin; now their evil acts come round them on every side; they are before my face.

bbe@Hosea:7:4 @They are all untrue; they are like a burning oven; the bread-maker does not make up the fire from the time when the paste is mixed till it is leavened.

bbe@Hosea:7:5 @On the day of our king, the rulers made him ill with the heat of wine; his hand was stretched out with the men of pride.

bbe@Hosea:7:7 @They are all heated like an oven, and they put an end to their judges; all their kings have been made low; not one among them makes prayer to me.

bbe@Hosea:7:9 @Men from other lands have made waste his strength, and he is not conscious of it; grey hairs have come on him here and there, and he has no knowledge of it.

bbe@Hosea:7:12 @When they go, my net will be stretched out over them; I will take them like the birds of heaven, I will give them punishment, I will take them away in the net for their sin.

bbe@Hosea:7:13 @May trouble be theirs! for they have gone far away from me; and destruction, for they have been sinning against me; I was ready to be their saviour, but they said false words against me.

bbe@Hosea:7:14 @And they have not made prayer to me in their hearts, but they make loud cries on their beds; they are cutting themselves for food and wine, they are turned against me.

bbe@Hosea:7:15 @Though I have given training and strength to their arms, they have evil designs against me.

bbe@Hosea:7:16 @They have gone to what is of no value; they are like a false bow; their captains will come to destruction by the sword, and their ruler by my wrath; for this, the land of Egypt will make sport of them

bbe@Hosea:8:1 @Put the horn to your mouth. He comes like an eagle against the house of the Lord; because they have gone against my agreement, they have not kept my law.

bbe@Hosea:8:2 @They will send up to me a cry for help: We, Israel, have knowledge of you, O God of Israel.

bbe@Hosea:8:4 @They have put up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, but I had no knowledge of it; they have made images of silver and gold, so that they may be cut off.

bbe@Hosea:8:7 @For they have been planting the wind, and their fruit will be the storm; his grain has no stem, it will give no meal, and if it does, a strange nation will take it.

bbe@Hosea:8:8 @Israel has come to destruction; now they are among the nations like a cup in which there is no pleasure.

bbe@Hosea:8:10 @But though they give money to the nations for help, still I will send them in all directions; and in a short time they will be without a king and rulers.

bbe@Hosea:8:11 @Because Ephraim has been increasing altars for sin, altars have become a cause of sin to him.

bbe@Hosea:8:13 @He gives the offerings of his lovers, and takes the flesh for food; but the Lord has no pleasure in them; now he will keep in mind their evil-doing and give them the punishment of their sins; they will go back to Egypt.

bbe@Hosea:8:14 @For Israel has no memory of his Maker, and has put up the houses of kings; and Judah has made great the number of his walled towns. But I will send a fire on his towns and put an end to his great houses.

bbe@Hosea:9:4 @They will give no wine offering to the Lord, they will not make offerings ready for him; their bread will be like the bread of those in sorrow; all who take it will be unclean, because their bread will be only for their desire, it will not come into the house of the Lord.

bbe@Hosea:9:6 @For see, they are going away into Assyria; Egypt will get them together, Memphis will be their last resting-place; their fair silver vessels will be covered over with field plants, and thorns will come up in their tents.

bbe@Hosea:9:7 @The days of punishment, the days of reward are come; Israel will be put to shame; the prophet is foolish, the man who has the spirit is off his head, because of your great sin.

bbe@Hosea:9:9 @They have gone deep in evil as in the days of Gibeah; he will keep in mind their wrongdoing, he will give them punishment for their sins.

bbe@Hosea:9:10 @I made discovery of Israel as of grapes in the waste land; I saw your fathers as the first-fruits of the fig-tree in her early fruit time; but they came to Baal-peor, and made themselves holy to the thing of shame, and became disgusting like that to which they gave their love.

bbe@Hosea:9:12 @Even though their children have come to growth I will take them away, so that not a man will be there; for their evil-doing will be complete and they will be put to shame because of it.

bbe@Hosea:9:15 @All their evil-doing is in Gilgal; there I had hate for them; because of their evil-doing I will send them out of my house; they will no longer be dear to me; all their rulers are uncontrolled.

bbe@Hosea:9:16 @The rod has come on Ephraim, their root is dry, let them have no fruit; even though they give birth, I will put to death the dearest fruit of their bodies.

bbe@Hosea:10:4 @Their words are foolish; they make agreements with false oaths, so punishment will come up like a poison-plant in a ploughed field.

bbe@Hosea:10:6 @And they will take it to Assyria and give it to the great king; shame will come on Ephraim, and Israel will be shamed because of its image.

bbe@Hosea:10:8 @And the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, will come to destruction; thorns and waste plants will come up on their altars; they will say to the mountains, Be a cover over us; and to the hills, Come down on us.

bbe@Hosea:10:10 @I will come and give them punishment; and the peoples will come together against them when I give them the reward of their two sins.

bbe@Hosea:10:12 @Put in the seed of righteousness, get in your grain in mercy, let your unploughed earth be turned up: for it is time to make search for the Lord, till he comes and sends righteousness on you like rain.

bbe@Hosea:10:13 @You have been ploughing sin, you have got in a store of evil, the fruit of deceit has been your food: for you put faith in your way, in the number of your men of war.

bbe@Hosea:11:1 @When Israel was a child he was dear to me; and I took my son out of Egypt.

bbe@Hosea:11:2 @When I sent for them, then they went away from me; they made offerings to the Baals, burning perfumes to images.

bbe@Hosea:11:4 @I made them come after me with the cords of a man, with the bands of love; I was to them as one who took the yoke from off their mouths, putting meat before them.

bbe@Hosea:11:5 @He will go back to the land of Egypt and the Assyrian will be his king, because they would not come back to me.

bbe@Hosea:11:7 @My people are given up to sinning against me; though their voice goes up on high, no one will be lifting them up.

bbe@Hosea:11:8 @How may I give you up, O Ephraim? how may I be your saviour, O Israel? how may I make you like Admah? how may I do to you as I did to Zeboim? My heart is turned in me, it is soft with pity.

bbe@Hosea:11:10 @They will go after the Lord; his cry will be like that of a lion; his cry will be loud, and the children will come from the west, shaking with fear;

bbe@Hosea:11:11 @Shaking with fear like a bird, they will come out of Egypt, like a dove out of the land of Assyria: and I will give them rest in their houses, says the Lord

bbe@Hosea:11:12 @The deceit of Ephraim and the false words of Israel are about me on every side....

bbe@Hosea:12:1 @Ephraim's food is the wind, and he goes after the east wind: deceit and destruction are increasing day by day; they make an agreement with Assyria, and take oil into Egypt.

bbe@Hosea:12:2 @The Lord has a cause against Judah, and will give punishment to Jacob for his ways; he will give him the reward of his acts.

bbe@Hosea:12:4 @He had a fight with the angel and overcame him; he made request for grace to him with weeping; he came face to face with him in Beth-el and there his words came to him;

bbe@Hosea:12:5 @Even the Lord, the God of armies; the Lord is his name.

bbe@Hosea:12:6 @So then, come back to your God; keep mercy and right, and be waiting at all times on your God.

bbe@Hosea:12:8 @And Ephraim said, Now I have got wealth and much property; in all my works no sin may be seen in me.

bbe@Hosea:12:9 @But I am the Lord your God from the land of Egypt; I will give you tents for your living-places again as in the days of the holy meeting.

bbe@Hosea:12:10 @My word came to the ears of the prophets and I gave them visions in great number, and by the mouths of the prophets I made use of comparisons.

bbe@Hosea:12:12 @And Jacob went in flight into the field of Aram, and Israel became a servant for a wife, and for a wife he kept sheep.

bbe@Hosea:12:13 @And by a prophet the Lord made Israel come up out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was kept safe

bbe@Hosea:12:14 @I have been bitterly moved to wrath by Ephraim; so that his blood will be on him, and the Lord will make his shame come back on him.

bbe@Hosea:13:1 @When the words of my law came from Ephraim, he was lifted up in Israel; but when he did evil through the Baal, death overtook him.

bbe@Hosea:13:2 @And now their sins are increased; they have made themselves a metal image, false gods from their silver, after their designs, all of them the work of the metal-workers; they say of them, Let them give offerings, let men give kisses to the oxen.

bbe@Hosea:13:4 @But I am the Lord your God, from the land of Egypt; you have knowledge of no other God and there is no saviour but me.

bbe@Hosea:13:6 @When I gave them food they were full, and their hearts were full of pride, and they did not keep me in mind.

bbe@Hosea:13:8 @I will come face to face with them like a bear whose young ones have been taken from her, and their inmost hearts will be broken; there the dogs will make a meal of them; they will be wounded by the beasts of the field.

bbe@Hosea:13:10 @Where is your king, that he may be your saviour? and all your rulers, that they may take up your cause? of whom you said, Give me a king and rulers.

bbe@Hosea:13:13 @The pains of a woman in childbirth will come on him: he is an unwise son, for at this time it is not right for him to keep his place when children come to birth.

bbe@Hosea:13:15 @Though he gives fruit among his brothers, an east wind will come, the wind of the Lord coming up from the waste land, and his spring will become dry, his fountain will be without water: it will make waste the store of all the vessels of his desire

bbe@Hosea:13:16 @Samaria will be made waste, for she has gone against her God: they will be cut down by the sword, their little children will be broken on the rocks, their women who are with child will be cut open.

bbe@Hosea:14:1 @O Israel, come back to the Lord your God; for your evil-doing has been the cause of your fall.

bbe@Hosea:14:2 @Take with you words, and come back to the Lord; say to him, Let there be forgiveness for all wrongdoing, so that we may take what is good, and give in payment the fruit of our lips.

bbe@Hosea:14:3 @Assyria will not be our salvation; we will not go on horses; we will not again say to the work of our hands, You are our gods; for in you there is mercy for the child who has no father.

bbe@Hosea:14:6 @His branches will be stretched out, he will be beautiful as the olive-tree and sweet-smelling as Lebanon.

bbe@Hosea:14:7 @They will come back and have rest in his shade; their life will be made new like the grain, and they will put out flowers like the vine; his name will be like the wine of Lebanon.

bbe@Hosea:14:8 @As for Ephraim, what has he to do with false gods any longer? I have given an answer and I will keep watch over him; I am like a branching fir-tree, from me comes your fruit.

bbe@Joel:1:1 @The word of the Lord which came to Joel, the son of Pethuel.

bbe@Joel:1:2 @Give ear to this, you old men, and take note, you people of the land. Has this ever been in your days, or in the days of your fathers?

bbe@Joel:1:4 @What the worm did not make a meal of, has been taken by the locust; and what the locust did not take, has been food for the plant-worm; and what the plant-worm did not take, has been food for the field-fly.

bbe@Joel:1:5 @Come out of your sleep, you who are overcome with wine, and give yourselves to weeping; give cries of sorrow, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine; for it has been cut off from your mouths.

bbe@Joel:1:6 @For a nation has come up over my land, strong and without number; his teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the back teeth of a great lion.

bbe@Joel:1:9 @The meal offering and the drink offering have been cut off from the house of the Lord; the priests, the Lord's servants, are sorrowing.

bbe@Joel:1:10 @The fields are wasted, the land has become dry; for the grain is wasted, the new wine is kept back, the oil is poor.

bbe@Joel:1:11 @The farmers are shamed, the workers in the vine-gardens give cries of grief, for the wheat and the barley; for the produce of the fields has come to destruction.

bbe@Joel:1:12 @The vine has become dry and the fig-tree is feeble; the pomegranate and the palm-tree and the apple-tree, even all the trees of the field, are dry: because joy has gone from the sons of men.

bbe@Joel:1:13 @Put haircloth round you and give yourselves to sorrow, you priests; give cries of grief, you servants of the altar: come in, and, clothed in haircloth, let the night go past, you servants of my God: for the meal offering and the drink offering have been kept back from the house of your God.

bbe@Joel:1:14 @Let a time be fixed for going without food, have a holy meeting, let the old men, even all the people of the land, come together to the house of the Lord your God, crying out to the Lord.

bbe@Joel:1:15 @Sorrow for the day! for the day of the Lord is near, and as destruction from the Ruler of all it will come.

bbe@Joel:1:17 @The grains have become small and dry under the spade; the store-houses are made waste, the grain-stores are broken down; for the grain is dry and dead.

bbe@Joel:1:18 @What sounds of pain come from the beasts! the herds of cattle are at a loss because there is no grass for them; even the flocks of sheep are no longer to be seen.

bbe@Joel:1:19 @O Lord, my cry goes up to you: for fire has put an end to the grass-lands of the waste, and all the trees of the field are burned with its flame.

bbe@Joel:2:3 @Before them fire sends destruction, and after them flame is burning: the land is like the garden of Eden before them, and after them an unpeopled waste; truly, nothing has been kept safe from them.

bbe@Joel:2:5 @Like the sound of war-carriages they go jumping on the tops of the mountains; like the noise of a flame of fire burning up the grain-stems, like a strong people lined up for the fight.

bbe@Joel:2:6 @At their coming the people are bent with pain: all faces become red together.

bbe@Joel:2:7 @They are running like strong men, they go over the wall like men of war; every man goes straight on his way, their lines are not broken.

bbe@Joel:2:10 @The earth is troubled before them and the heavens are shaking: the sun and the moon have become dark, and the stars keep back their shining:

bbe@Joel:2:12 @But even now, says the Lord, come back to me with all your heart, keeping from food, with weeping and with sorrow:

bbe@Joel:2:13 @Let your hearts be broken, and not your clothing, and come back to the Lord your God: for he is full of grace and pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, ready to be turned from his purpose of punishment.

bbe@Joel:2:14 @May it not be that he will again let his purpose be changed and let a blessing come after him, even a meal offering and a drink offering for the Lord your God?

bbe@Joel:2:15 @Let a horn be sounded in Zion, let a time be fixed for going without food, have a holy meeting:

bbe@Joel:2:16 @Get the people together, make the mass of the people holy, send for the old men, get together the children and babies at the breast: let the newly married man come out of his room and the bride from her tent.

bbe@Joel:2:17 @Let the priests, the servants of the Lord, be weeping between the covered way and the altar, and let them say, Have mercy on your people, O Lord, do not give up your heritage to shame, so that the nations become their rulers: why let them say among the peoples, Where is their God?

bbe@Joel:2:19 @And the Lord made answer and said to his people, See, I will send you grain and wine and oil in full measure: and I will no longer let you be shamed among the nations:

bbe@Joel:2:20 @I will send the one from the north far away from you, driving him into a dry and waste land, with his front to the sea of the east and his back to the sea of the west, and the smell of him will go up, even his evil smell will go up.

bbe@Joel:2:23 @Be glad, then, you children of Zion, and have joy in the Lord your God: for he gives you food in full measure, making the rain come down for you, the early and the late rain as at the first.

bbe@Joel:2:26 @You will have food in full measure, and give praise to the name of the Lord your God, who has done wonders for you:

bbe@Joel:2:27 @And you will be certain that I am in Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and there is no other: and my people will never be shamed.

bbe@Joel:2:28 @And after that, it will come about, says the Lord, that I will send my spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, your old men will have dreams, your young men will see visions:

bbe@Joel:2:31 @The sun will be made dark and the moon turned to blood, before the great day of the Lord comes, a day to be feared.

bbe@Joel:2:32 @And it will be that whoever makes his prayer to the name of the Lord will be kept safe: for in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem some will be kept safe, as the Lord has said, and will be among the small band marked out by the Lord.

bbe@Joel:3:1 @For in those days and in that time, when I let the fate of Judah and Jerusalem be changed,

bbe@Joel:3:2 @I will get together all the nations, and make them come down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and there I will take up with them the cause of my people and of my heritage Israel, whom they have sent wandering among the nations, and of my land which has been parted by them.

bbe@Joel:3:4 @And further, what are you to me, O Tyre and Zidon and all the circle of Philistia? will you give me back any payment? and if you do, quickly and suddenly I will send it back on your head,

bbe@Joel:3:7 @See, I will have them moved from the place where you have sent them, and will let what you have done come back on your head;

bbe@Joel:3:8 @I will give your sons and your daughters into the hands of the children of Judah for a price, and they will give them for a price to the men of Sheba, a nation far off: for the Lord has said it.

bbe@Joel:3:9 @Give this out among the nations; make ready for war: get the strong men awake; let all the men of war come near, let them come up.

bbe@Joel:3:10 @Get your plough-blades hammered into swords, and your vine-knives into spears: let the feeble say, I am strong

bbe@Joel:3:11 @Come quickly, all you nations round about, and get yourselves together there: make your strong ones come down, O Lord.

bbe@Joel:3:12 @Let the nations be awake, and come to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there I will be seated as judge of all the nations round about.

bbe@Joel:3:13 @Put in the blade, for the grain is ready: come, get you down, for the wine-crusher is full, the vessels are overflowing; for great is their evil-doing.

bbe@Joel:3:15 @The sun and the moon have become dark, and the stars keep back their shining.

bbe@Joel:3:18 @And it will come about in that day that the mountains will be dropping sweet wine, and the hills will be flowing with milk, and all the streams of Judah will be flowing with water; and a fountain will come out from the house of the Lord, watering the valley of acacia-trees.

bbe@Joel:3:21 @And I will send punishment for their blood, for which punishment has not been sent, for the Lord is living in Zion.

bbe@Amos:1:1 @The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa; what he saw about Israel in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam, the son of Joash, king of Israel, two years before the earth-shock.

bbe@Amos:1:2 @And he said, The Lord will give a lion's cry from Zion, his voice will be sounding from Jerusalem; and the fields of the keepers of sheep will become dry, and the top of Carmel will be wasted away.

bbe@Amos:1:3 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have been crushing Gilead with iron grain-crushing instruments.

bbe@Amos:1:6 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they took all the people away prisoners, to give them up to Edom.

bbe@Amos:1:8 @Him who is seated in power I will have cut off from Ashdod, and him in whose hand is the rod from Ashkelon; and my hand will be turned against Ekron, and the rest of the Philistines will come to destruction, says the Lord God.

bbe@Amos:1:9 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they gave up all the people prisoners to Edom, without giving a thought to the brothers' agreement between them.

bbe@Amos:1:11 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because his sword was turned against his brother, without pity, and his wrath was burning at all times, and he was angry for ever.

bbe@Amos:1:13 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because in Gilead they had women with child cut open, so that they might make wider the limits of their land.

bbe@Amos:2:1 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because he had the bones of the king of Edom burned to dust.

bbe@Amos:2:2 @And I will send a fire on Moab, burning up the great houses of Kerioth: and death will come on Moab with noise and outcries and the sound of the horn:

bbe@Amos:2:4 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Judah, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given up the law of the Lord, and have not kept his rules; and their false ways, in which their fathers went, have made them go out of the right way.

bbe@Amos:2:6 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given the upright man for silver, and the poor for the price of two shoes;

bbe@Amos:2:7 @Crushing the head of the poor, and turning the steps of the gentle out of the way: and a man and his father go in to the same young woman, putting shame on my holy name:

bbe@Amos:2:8 @By every altar they are stretched on clothing taken from those who are in their debt, drinking in the house of their god the wine of those who have made payment for wrongdoing.

bbe@Amos:2:11 @And some of your sons I made prophets, and some of your young men I made separate for myself. Is it not even so, O children of Israel? says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:2:14 @And flight will be impossible for the quick-footed, and the force of the strong will become feeble, and the man of war will not get away safely:

bbe@Amos:2:16 @And he who is without fear among the fighting men will go in flight without his clothing in that day, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:3:2 @You only of all the families of the earth have I taken care of: for this reason I will send punishment on you for all your sins.

bbe@Amos:3:3 @Is it possible for two to go walking together, if not by agreement?

bbe@Amos:3:5 @Is it possible for a bird to be taken in a net on the earth where no net has been put for him? will the net come up from the earth if it has taken nothing at all?

bbe@Amos:3:6 @If the horn is sounded in the town will the people not be full of fear? will evil come on a town if the Lord has not done it?

bbe@Amos:3:9 @Give out the news in the great houses of Assyria and in the land of Egypt, and say, Come together on the mountains of Samaria, and see what great outcries are there, and what cruel acts are done in it.

bbe@Amos:3:11 @For this reason, says the Lord, an attacker will come, shutting in the land on every side; and your strength will come down and your great houses will be made waste.

bbe@Amos:3:14 @For in the day when I give Israel punishment for his sins, I will send punishment on the altars of Beth-el, and the horns of the altar will be cut off and come down to the earth.

bbe@Amos:3:15 @And I will send destruction on the winter house with the summer house; the ivory houses will be falling down and the great houses will come to an end, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:4:2 @The Lord God has taken an oath by his holy name, that the days are coming when they will take you away with hooks, and the rest of you with fish-hooks.

bbe@Amos:4:4 @Come to Beth-el and do evil; to Gilgal, increasing the number of your sins; come with your offerings every morning and your tenths every three days:

bbe@Amos:4:6 @But in all your towns I have kept food from your teeth, and in all your places there has been need of bread: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:4:7 @And I have kept back the rain from you, when it was still three months before the grain-cutting: I sent rain on one town and kept it back from another: one part was rained on, and the part where there was no rain became a waste.

bbe@Amos:4:8 @So two or three towns went wandering to one town looking for water, and did not get enough: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:4:9 @I have sent destruction on your fields by burning and disease: the increase of your gardens and your vine-gardens, your fig-trees and your olive-trees, has been food for worms: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:4:10 @I have sent disease among you, as it was in Egypt: I have put your young men to the sword, and have taken away your horses; I have made the evil smell from your tents come up to your noses: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord

bbe@Amos:4:11 @And I have sent destruction among you, as when God sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick pulled out of the fire: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.

bbe@Amos:4:12 @So this is what I will do to you, O Israel: and because I will do this to you, be ready for a meeting with your God, O Israel.

bbe@Amos:4:13 @For see, he who gave form to the mountains and made the wind, giving knowledge of his purpose to man, who makes the morning dark, and is walking on the high places of the earth: the Lord, the God of armies, is his name.

bbe@Amos:5:4 @For these are the words of the Lord to the children of Israel: Let your hearts be turned to me, so that you may have life:

bbe@Amos:5:5 @Do not be looking for help to Beth-el, and do not go to Gilgal, or make your way to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal will certainly be taken prisoner, and Beth-el will come to nothing.

bbe@Amos:5:6 @Go to the Lord for help so that you may have life; for fear that he may come like fire bursting out in the family of Joseph, causing destruction, and there will be no one to put it out in Beth-el.

bbe@Amos:5:8 @Go for help to him who makes Orion and the Pleiades, by whom the deep dark is turned into morning, who makes the day black with night; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, sending them out over the face of the earth: the Lord is his name;

bbe@Amos:5:9 @Who sends sudden destruction on the strong, so that destruction comes on the walled town.

bbe@Amos:5:13 @So the wise will say nothing in that time; for it is an evil time.

bbe@Amos:5:15 @Be haters of evil and lovers of good, and let right be done in the public place: it may be that the Lord, the God of armies, will have mercy on the rest of Joseph.

bbe@Amos:5:16 @So these are the words of the Lord, the God of armies, the Lord: There will be weeping in all the open spaces; and in all the streets they will say, Sorrow! sorrow! and they will get in the farmer to the weeping, and the makers of sad songs to give cries of grief.

bbe@Amos:5:19 @As if a man, running away from a lion, came face to face with a bear; or went into the house and put his hand on the wall and got a bite from a snake.

bbe@Amos:5:21 @Your feasts are disgusting to me, I will have nothing to do with them; I will take no delight in your holy meetings.

bbe@Amos:5:22 @Even if you give me your burned offerings and your meal offerings, I will not take pleasure in them: I will have nothing to do with the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.

bbe@Amos:5:23 @Take away from me the noise of your songs; my ears are shut to the melody of your instruments.

bbe@Amos:5:25 @Did you come to me with offerings of beasts and meal offerings in the waste land for forty years, O Israel?

bbe@Amos:5:27 @And I will send you away as prisoners farther than Damascus, says the Lord, whose name is the God of armies.

bbe@Amos:6:1 @Sorrow to those who are resting in comfort in Zion, and to those who have no fear of danger in the mountain of Samaria, the noted men of the chief of the nations, to whom the people of Israel come!

bbe@Amos:6:3 @You who put far away the evil day, causing the rule of the violent to come near;

bbe@Amos:6:5 @Making foolish songs to the sound of corded instruments, and designing for themselves instruments of music, like David;

bbe@Amos:6:7 @So now they will go away prisoners with the first of those who are made prisoners, and the loud cry of those who were stretched out will come to an end.

bbe@Amos:6:8 @The Lord God has taken an oath by himself, says the Lord, the God of armies: the pride of Jacob is disgusting to me, and I have hate for his great houses: so I will give up the town with everything in it.

bbe@Amos:6:9 @Then it will come about that if there are still ten men in a house, death will overtake them.

bbe@Amos:6:10 @And when a man's relation, even the one who is responsible for burning his body, lifting him up to take his bones out of the house, says to him who is in the inmost part of the house, Is there still anyone with you? and he says, No; then he will say, Keep quiet, for the name of the Lord may not be named.

bbe@Amos:7:1 @This is what the Lord God let me see: and I saw that, when the growth of the late grass was starting, he made locusts; it was the late growth after the king's cutting was done.

bbe@Amos:7:2 @And it came about that after they had taken all the grass of the land, I said, O Lord God, have mercy: how will Jacob be able to keep his place? for he is small.

bbe@Amos:7:4 @This is what the Lord let me see: and I saw that the Lord God sent for a great fire to be the instrument of his punishment; and, after burning up the great deep, it was about to put an end to the Lord's heritage.

bbe@Amos:7:7 @This is what he let me see: and I saw the Lord stationed by a wall made straight by a weighted line, and he had a weighted line in his hand.

bbe@Amos:7:8 @And the Lord said to me, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A weighted line. Then the Lord said, See, I will let down a weighted line among my people Israel; never again will my eyes be shut to their sin:

bbe@Amos:7:9 @And the high places of Isaac will be unpeopled, and the holy places of Israel will be made waste; and I will come up against the family of Jeroboam with the sword.

bbe@Amos:7:15 @And the Lord took me from the flock, and the Lord said to me, Go, be a prophet to my people Israel.

bbe@Amos:7:17 @So this is what the Lord has said: Your wife will be a loose woman in the town, and your sons and your daughters will be put to the sword, and your land will be cut up into parts by a line; and you yourself will come to your end in an unclean land, and Israel will certainly be taken away a prisoner out of his land.

bbe@Amos:8:1 @This is what the Lord God let me see: and I saw a basket of summer fruit.

bbe@Amos:8:2 @And he said, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then the Lord said to me, The end has come to my people Israel; never again will my eyes be shut to their sin.

bbe@Amos:8:5 @Saying, When will the new moon be gone, so that we may do trade in grain? and the Sabbath, so that we may put out in the market the produce of our fields? making the measure small and the price great, and trading falsely with scales of deceit;

bbe@Amos:8:9 @And it will come about in that day, says the Lord God, that I will make the sun go down in the middle of the day, and I will make the earth dark in daylight:

bbe@Amos:8:10 @Your feasts will be turned into sorrow and all your melody into songs of grief; everyone will be clothed with haircloth, and the hair of every head will be cut; I will make the weeping like that for an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.

bbe@Amos:8:11 @See, the days are coming, says the Lord God, when I will send times of great need on the land, not need of food or desire for water, but for hearing the words of the Lord.

bbe@Amos:8:13 @In that day the fair virgins and the young men will be feeble from need of water.

bbe@Amos:9:3 @Though they take cover on the top of Carmel, I will go in search of them and get them out; though they keep themselves from my eyes in the bed of the sea, I will give orders to the great snake there and he will give them a bite:

bbe@Amos:9:6 @It is he who makes his rooms in the heaven, basing his arch on the earth; whose voice goes out to the waters of the sea, and sends them flowing over the face of the earth; the Lord is his name.

bbe@Amos:9:7 @Are you not as the children of the Ethiopians to me, O children of Israel? says the Lord. Have I not taken Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Aramaeans from Kir?

bbe@Amos:9:10 @All those sinners among my people will be put to the sword who say, Evil will not overtake us or come face to face with us.

bbe@Amos:9:11 @In that day I will put up the tent of David which has come down, and make good its broken places; and I will put up again his damaged walls, building it up as in the past;

bbe@Amos:9:12 @So that the rest of Edom may be their heritage, and all the nations who have been named by my name, says the Lord, who is doing this.

bbe@Amos:9:13 @See, the days will come, says the Lord, when the ploughman will overtake him who is cutting the grain, and the crusher of the grapes him who is planting seed; and sweet wine will be dropping from the mountains, and the hills will be turned into streams of wine.

bbe@Obadiah:1:3 @You have been tricked by the pride of your heart, O you whose living-place is in the cracks of the rock, whose house is high up; who has said in his heart, Who will make me come down to earth?

bbe@Obadiah:1:4 @Though you go up on high like an eagle, though your house is placed among the stars, I will make you come down from there, says the Lord.

bbe@Obadiah:1:5 @If thieves came, attacking you by night, (how are you cut off!) would they not go on taking till they had enough? if men came cutting your grapes would they take them all?

bbe@Obadiah:1:7 @All the men who were united with you have been false to you, driving you out to the edge of the land: the men who were at peace with you have overcome you; they have taken their heritage in your place.

bbe@Obadiah:1:8 @Will I not, in that day, says the Lord, take away the wise men out of Edom, and wisdom out of the mountain of Esau?

bbe@Obadiah:1:9 @And your men of war, O Teman, will be overcome with fear, so that every one of them may be cut off from the mountain of Esau.

bbe@Obadiah:1:10 @Because you were the cause of violent death and because of your cruel behaviour to your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame and will be cut off for ever.

bbe@Obadiah:1:11 @Because you were there watching when men from other lands took away his goods, and strange men came into his doors, and put the fate of Jerusalem to the decision of chance; you were like one of them.

bbe@Obadiah:1:15 @For the day of the Lord is coming quickly on all nations: as you have done it will be done to you; the reward of your acts will come on your head.

bbe@Obadiah:1:17 @But in Mount Zion some will be kept safe, and it will be holy; and the children of Jacob will take their heritage.

bbe@Obadiah:1:18 @And the children of Jacob will be a fire and those of Joseph a flame, and the children of Esau dry stems of grass, burned up by them till all is gone: and there will be no people living in Esau; for the Lord has said it.

bbe@Obadiah:1:21 @And those who have been kept safe will come up from Mount Zion to be judges of the mountain of Esau; and the kingdom will be the Lord's.

bbe@Jonah:1:1 @And the word of the Lord came to Jonah, the son of Amittai, saying,

bbe@Jonah:1:2 @Up! go to Nineveh, that great town, and let your voice come to it; for their evil-doing has come up before me.

bbe@Jonah:1:4 @And the Lord sent out a great wind on to the sea and there was a violent storm in the sea, so that the ship seemed in danger of being broken.

bbe@Jonah:1:6 @And the ship's captain came to him and said to him, What are you doing sleeping? Up! say a prayer to your God, if by chance God will give a thought to us, so that we may not come to destruction.

bbe@Jonah:1:7 @And they said to one another, Come, let us put this to the decision of chance and see on whose account this evil has come on us. So they did so, and Jonah was seen to be the man.

bbe@Jonah:1:8 @Then they said to him, Now make clear to us what is your work, and where you come from? what is your country, and who are your people?

bbe@Jonah:1:10 @And the men were in great fear, and they said to him, What is this you have done? For the men had knowledge of his flight from the Lord because he had not kept it from them.

bbe@Jonah:1:11 @And they said to him, What are we to do to you so that the sea may become calm for us? For the sea was getting rougher and rougher.

bbe@Jonah:1:12 @And he said to them, Take me up and put me into the sea, and the sea will become calm for you: for I am certain that because of me this great storm has come on you.

bbe@Jonah:1:13 @And the men were working hard to get back to the land, but they were not able to do so: for the sea got rougher and rougher against them.

bbe@Jonah:1:14 @So, crying to the Lord, they said, Give ear to our prayer, O Lord, give ear, and do not let destruction overtake us because of this man's life; do not put on us the sin of taking life without cause: for you, O Lord, have done what seemed good to you.

bbe@Jonah:1:16 @Then great was the men's fear of the Lord; and they made an offering to the Lord and took oaths to him.

bbe@Jonah:2:2 @In my trouble I was crying to the Lord, and he gave me an answer; out of the deepest underworld I sent up a cry, and you gave ear to my voice.

bbe@Jonah:2:3 @For you have put me down into the deep, into the heart of the sea; and the river was round about me; all your waves and your rolling waters went over me.

bbe@Jonah:2:5 @The waters were circling round me, even to the neck; the deep was about me; the sea-grass was twisted round my head.

bbe@Jonah:2:6 @I went down to the bases of the mountains; as for the earth, her walls were about me for ever: but you have taken up my life from the underworld, O Lord my God.

bbe@Jonah:2:7 @When my soul in me was overcome, I kept the memory of the Lord: and my prayer came in to you, into your holy Temple.

bbe@Jonah:3:1 @And the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time, saying,

bbe@Jonah:3:5 @And the people of Nineveh had belief in God; and a time was fixed for going without food, and they put on haircloth, from the greatest to the least.

bbe@Jonah:3:6 @And the word came to the king of Nineveh, and he got up from his seat of authority, and took off his robe, and covering himself with haircloth, took his seat in the dust.

bbe@Jonah:3:7 @And he had it given out in Nineveh, By the order of the king and his great men, no man or beast, herd or flock, is to have a taste of anything; let them have no food or water:

bbe@Jonah:4:1 @But this seemed very wrong to Jonah, and he was angry.

bbe@Jonah:4:2 @And he made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord, is this not what I said when I was still in my country? This is why I took care to go in flight to Tarshish: for I was certain that you were a loving God, full of pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, and ready to be turned from your purpose of evil.

bbe@Jonah:4:3 @So now, O Lord, give ear to my prayer and take my life from me; for death is better for me than life.

bbe@Jonah:4:5 @Then Jonah went out of the town, and took his seat on the east side of the town and made himself a roof of branches and took his seat under its shade till he saw what would become of the town.

bbe@Jonah:4:6 @And the Lord God made a vine come up over Jonah to give him shade over his head. And Jonah was very glad because of the vine.

bbe@Jonah:4:7 @But early on the morning after, God made ready a worm for the destruction of the vine, and it became dry and dead.

bbe@Jonah:4:8 @Then when the sun came up, God sent a burning east wind: and so great was the heat of the sun on his head that Jonah was overcome, and, requesting death for himself, said, Death is better for me than life.

bbe@Jonah:4:10 @And the Lord said, You had pity on the vine, for which you did no work and for the growth of which you were not responsible; which came up in a night and came to an end in a night;

bbe@Jonah:4:11 @And am I not to have mercy on Nineveh, that great town, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons without the power of judging between right and left, as well as much cattle?

bbe@Micah:1:1 @The word of the Lord which came to Micah the Morashtite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah: his vision about Samaria and Jerusalem.

bbe@Micah:1:3 @For see, the Lord is coming out from his place, and will come down, stepping on the high places of the earth.

bbe@Micah:1:7 @And all her pictured images will be hammered into bits, and all the payments for her loose ways will be burned with fire, and all the images of her gods I will make waste: for with the price of a loose woman she got them together, and as the price of a loose woman will they be given back.

bbe@Micah:1:9 @For her wounds may not be made well: for it has come even to Judah, stretching up to the doorway of my people, even to Jerusalem.

bbe@Micah:1:11 @Be uncovered and go away, you who are living in Shaphir: the one living in Zaanan has not come out of her town; Beth-ezel is taken away from its base, even from its resting-place.

bbe@Micah:1:12 @For the one living in Maroth is waiting for good: for evil has come down from the Lord to the doorways of Jerusalem.

bbe@Micah:1:15 @Even now will the taker of your heritage come to you, you who are living in Mareshah: the glory of Israel will come to destruction for ever.

bbe@Micah:2:3 @For this cause the Lord has said, See, against this family I am purposing an evil from which you will not be able to take your necks away, and you will be weighted down by it; for it is an evil time.

bbe@Micah:2:4 @In that day this saying will be said about you, and this song of grief will be made: The heritage of my people is measured out, and there is no one to give it back; those who have made us prisoners have taken our fields from us, and complete destruction has come to us.

bbe@Micah:2:5 @For this cause you will have no one to make the decision by the measuring line in the meeting of the Lord.

bbe@Micah:2:6 @Let not words like these be dropped, they say: Shame and the curse will not come to the family of Jacob!

bbe@Micah:2:8 @As for you, you have become haters of those who were at peace with you: you take the clothing of those who go by without fear, and make them prisoners of war.

bbe@Micah:2:9 @The women of my people you have been driving away from their dearly loved children; from their young ones you are taking my glory for ever.

bbe@Micah:2:10 @Up! and go; for this is not your rest: because it has been made unclean, the destruction ordered will come on you.

bbe@Micah:2:11 @If a man came with a false spirit of deceit, saying, I will be a prophet to you of wine and strong drink: he would be the sort of prophet for this people.

bbe@Micah:2:12 @I will certainly make all of you, O Jacob, come together; I will get together the rest of Israel; I will put them together like the sheep in their circle: like a flock in their green field; they will be full of the noise of men.

bbe@Micah:3:3 @Like meat they take the flesh of my people for their food, skinning them and crushing their bones, yes, cutting them up as if for the pot, like flesh inside the cooking-pot.

bbe@Micah:3:4 @Then they will be crying to the Lord for help, but he will not give them an answer: yes, he will keep his face veiled from them at that time, because their acts have been evil.

bbe@Micah:3:7 @And the seers will be shamed, and the readers of the future will be at a loss, all of them covering their lips; for there is no answer from God.

bbe@Micah:3:11 @Its heads take rewards for judging, and the priests take payment for teaching, and the prophets get silver for reading the future: but still, supporting themselves on the Lord, they say, Is not the Lord among us? no evil will overtake us.

bbe@Micah:3:12 @For this reason, Zion will be ploughed like a field because of you, and Jerusalem will become a mass of broken walls, and the mountain of the house like a high place in the woods.

bbe@Micah:4:1 @But in the last days it will come about that the mountain of the Lord's house will be placed on the top of the mountains, and be lifted up over the hills; and peoples will be flowing to it.

bbe@Micah:4:2 @And a number of nations will go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will give us knowledge of his ways and we will be guided by his word: for from Zion the law will go out, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.

bbe@Micah:4:3 @And he will be judge between great peoples, and strong nations far away will be ruled by his decisions; their swords will be hammered into plough-blades and their spears into vine-knives: nations will no longer be lifting up their swords against one another, and knowledge of war will have gone for ever.

bbe@Micah:4:5 @For all the peoples will be walking, every one in the name of his god, and we will be walking in the name of the Lord our God for ever and ever.

bbe@Micah:4:8 @And you, O tower of the flock, Ophel of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come, even the earlier authority, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.

bbe@Micah:4:9 @Now why are you crying so loudly? is there no king in you? has destruction come on your wise helper? so that pains have taken you like the pains of a woman in childbirth:

bbe@Micah:4:10 @Be in pain, make sounds of grief, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in childbirth: for now you will go out of the town, living in the open country, and will come even to Babylon; there you will have salvation; there the Lord will make you free from the hands of your haters

bbe@Micah:4:11 @And now a number of nations have come together against you, and they say, Let her be made unclean and let our eyes see the fate of Zion.

bbe@Micah:5:2 @And you, Beth-lehem Ephrathah, the least among the families of Judah, out of you one will come to me who is to be ruler in Israel; whose going out has been purposed from time past, from the eternal days.

bbe@Micah:5:3 @For this cause he will give them up till the time when she who is with child has given birth: then the rest of his brothers will come back to the children of Israel.

bbe@Micah:5:4 @And he will take his place and give food to his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the glory of the name of the Lord his God; and their resting-place will be safe: for now he will be great to the ends of the earth.

bbe@Micah:5:5 @And this will be our peace: when the Assyrian comes into our country and his feet are in our land, then we will put up against him seven keepers of the flocks and eight chiefs among men.

bbe@Micah:5:6 @And they will make waste the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod with the edge of the sword: he will give us salvation from the Assyrian when he comes into our country, when his feet come inside the limit of our land.

bbe@Micah:5:7 @And the rest of Jacob will be among the mass of peoples like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, which may not be kept back by man, or be waiting for the sons of men.

bbe@Micah:5:10 @And it will come about in that day, says the Lord, that I will take away your horses from you, and will give your war-carriages to destruction:

bbe@Micah:5:15 @And my punishment will be effected on the nations with such burning wrath as they have not had word of.

bbe@Micah:6:3 @O my people, what have I done to you? how have I been a weariness to you? give answer against me.

bbe@Micah:6:6 @With what am I to come before the Lord and go with bent head before the high God? am I to come before him with burned offerings, with young oxen a year old?

bbe@Micah:6:8 @He has made clear to you, O man, what is good; and what is desired from you by the Lord; only doing what is right, and loving mercy, and walking without pride before your God.

bbe@Micah:6:9 @The voice of the Lord is crying out to the town: Give ear, you tribes and the meeting of the town.

bbe@Micah:6:10 @Am I to let the stores of the evil-doer go out of my memory, and the short measure, which is cursed?

bbe@Micah:6:11 @Is it possible for me to let wrong scales and the bag of false weights go without punishment?

bbe@Micah:6:12 @For its men of wealth are cruel, and its people have said what is not true, and their tongue is false in their mouth.

bbe@Micah:6:13 @So I have made a start with your punishment; I have made you waste because of your sins.

bbe@Micah:6:14 @You will have food, but not enough; your shame will be ever with you: you will get your goods moved, but you will not take them away safely; and what you do take away I will give to the sword

bbe@Micah:6:16 @For you have kept the laws of Omri and all the works of the family of Ahab, and you have been guided by their designs: so that I might make you a cause of wonder and your people a cause of hisses; and the shame of my people will be on you.

bbe@Micah:7:1 @Sorrow is mine! for I am as when they have got in the summer fruits, like the last of the grapes: there is nothing for food, not even an early fig for my desire.

bbe@Micah:7:2 @The good man is gone from the earth, there is no one upright among men: they are all waiting secretly for blood, every man is going after his brother with a net.

bbe@Micah:7:4 @The best of them is like a waste plant, and their upright ones are like a wall of thorns. Sorrow! the day of their fate has come; now will trouble come on them.

bbe@Micah:7:6 @For the son puts shame on his father, the daughter goes against her mother and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and a man's haters are those of his family.

bbe@Micah:7:7 @But as for me, I am looking to the Lord; I am waiting for the God of my salvation: the ears of my God will be open to me.

bbe@Micah:7:8 @Do not be glad because of my sorrow, O my hater: after my fall I will be lifted up; when I am seated in the dark, the Lord will be a light to me.

bbe@Micah:7:9 @I will undergo the wrath of the Lord, because of my sin against him; till he takes up my cause and does what is right for me: when he makes me come out into the light, I will see his righteousness;

bbe@Micah:7:10 @And my hater will see it and be covered with shame; she who said to me, Where is the Lord your God? my eyes will see their desire effected on her, now she will be crushed under foot like the dust of the streets.

bbe@Micah:7:12 @In that day they will come to you from Assyria and the towns of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea and from mountain to mountain.

bbe@Micah:7:13 @But the land will become a waste because of its people, as the fruit of their works.

bbe@Micah:7:14 @Keep your people safe with your rod, the flock of your heritage, living by themselves in the woods in the middle of Carmel: let them get their food in Bashan and Gilead as in the past.

bbe@Micah:7:15 @As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt, let us see things of wonder.

bbe@Micah:7:16 @The nations will see and be shamed because of all their strength; they will put their hands on their mouths, their ears will be stopped

bbe@Micah:7:17 @They will take dust as their food like a snake, like the things which go flat on the earth; they will come shaking with fear out of their secret places: they will come with fear to the Lord our God, full of fear because of you.

bbe@Micah:7:18 @Who is a God like you, offering forgiveness for evil-doing and overlooking the sins of the rest of his heritage? he does not keep his wrath for ever, because his delight is in mercy.

bbe@Micah:7:20 @You will make clear your good faith to Jacob and your mercy to Abraham, as you gave your oath to our fathers from times long past.

bbe@Nahum:1:2 @The Lord is a God who takes care of his honour and gives punishment for wrong; the Lord gives punishment and is angry; the Lord sends punishment on those who are against him, being angry with his haters.

bbe@Nahum:1:3 @The Lord is slow to get angry and great in power, and will not let the sinner go without punishment: the way of the Lord is in the wind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.

bbe@Nahum:1:4 @He says sharp words to the sea and makes it dry, drying up all the rivers: Bashan is feeble, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon is without strength.

bbe@Nahum:1:8 @But like water overflowing he will take them away; he will put an end to those who come up against him, driving his haters into the dark.

bbe@Nahum:1:9 @What are you designing against the Lord? he will put an end to it: his haters will not come up again a second time.

bbe@Nahum:1:10 @For though they are like twisted thorns, and are overcome as with drink, they will come to destruction like stems of grass fully dry.

bbe@Nahum:1:14 @The Lord has given an order about you, that no more of your name are to be planted: from the house of your gods I will have the pictured and metal images cut off; I will make your last resting-place a place of shame; for you are completely evil.

bbe@Nahum:1:15 @See on the mountains the feet of him who comes with good news, giving word of peace! Keep your feasts, O Judah, give effect to your oaths: for the good-for-nothing man will never again go through you; he is completely cut off.

bbe@Nahum:2:1 @A crusher has come up before your face: keep a good look-out, let the way be watched, make yourself strong, let your power be greatly increased.

bbe@Nahum:2:3 @The body-covers of his fighting men have been made red, the men of war are clothed in bright red: the war-carriages are like flames of fire in the day when he gets ready, the horses are shaking.

bbe@Nahum:2:4 @The war-carriages are rushing through the streets, pushing against one another in the wide ways, looking like burning lights, running like thunder-flames.

bbe@Nahum:2:5 @He takes the record of his great men: they go falling on their way; they go quickly to the wall, the cover is made ready.

bbe@Nahum:2:7 @And the queen is uncovered, she is taken away and her servant-girls are weeping like the sound of doves, hammering on their breasts.

bbe@Nahum:2:12 @Food enough for his young and for his she-lions was pulled down by the lion; his hole was full of flesh and his resting-place stored with meat.

bbe@Nahum:3:3 @Horsemen driving forward, and the shining sword and the bright spear: and a great number of wounded, and masses of dead bodies; they are falling over the bodies of the dead:

bbe@Nahum:3:5 @See, I am against you, says the Lord of armies, and I will have your skirts pulled over your face, and let the nations see you unclothed, and the kingdoms your shame.

bbe@Nahum:3:6 @I will make you completely disgusting and full of shame, and will put you up to be looked at by all.

bbe@Nahum:3:7 @And it will come about that all who see you will go in flight from you and say, Nineveh is made waste: who will be weeping for her? where am I to get comforters for her?

bbe@Nahum:3:10 @But even she has been taken away, she has gone away as a prisoner: even her young children are smashed to bits at the top of all the streets: the fate of her honoured men is put to the decision of chance, and all her great men are put in chains

bbe@Nahum:3:11 @And you will be overcome with wine, you will become feeble; you will be looking for a safe place from those who are fighting against you.

bbe@Nahum:3:13 @See, the people who are in you are women; the doorways of your land are wide open to your attackers: the locks of your doors have been burned away in the fire.

bbe@Nahum:3:14 @Get water for the time when you are shut in, make strong your towns: go into the potter's earth, stamping it down with your feet, make strong the brickworks.

bbe@Nahum:3:17 @Your crowned ones are like the locusts, and your scribes like the clouds of insects which take cover in the walls on a cold day, but when the sun comes up they go in flight, and are seen no longer in their place.

bbe@Nahum:3:18 @Sorrow! how are the keepers of your flock sleeping, O king of Assyria! your strong men are at rest; your people are wandering on the mountains, and there is no one to get them together.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:3 @Why do you make me see evil-doing, and why are my eyes fixed on wrong? for wasting and violent acts are before me: and there is fighting and bitter argument.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:7 @They are greatly to be feared: their right comes from themselves.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:8 @And their horses are quicker than leopards and their horsemen more cruel than evening wolves; they come from far away, like an eagle in flight rushing on its food.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:12 @Are you not eternal, O Lord my God, my Holy One? for you there is no death. O Lord, he has been ordered by you for our punishment; and by you, O Rock, he has been marked out to put us right.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:14 @He has made men like the fishes of the sea, like the worms which have no ruler over them.

bbe@Habakkuk:1:16 @For this reason he makes an offering to his net, burning perfume to his fishing-net; because by them he gets much food and his meat is fat.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:1 @I will take my position and be on watch, placing myself on my tower, looking out to see what he will say to me, and what answer he will give to my protest.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:2 @And the Lord gave me an answer, and said, Put the vision in writing and make it clear on stones, so that the reader may go quickly.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:3 @For the vision is still for the fixed time, and it is moving quickly to the end, and it will not be false: even if it is slow in coming, go on waiting for it; because it will certainly come, it will not be kept back.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:5 @A curse on the cruel and false one! the man full of pride, who never has enough; who makes his desires wide as the underworld! he is like death; he is never full, but he makes all nations come to him, getting all peoples together to himself.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:6 @Will not all these take up a word of shame against him and a bitter saying against him, and say, A curse on him who goes on taking what is not his and is weighted down with the property of debtors!

bbe@Habakkuk:2:8 @Because you have taken their goods from great nations, all the rest of the peoples will take your goods from you; because of men's blood and violent acts against the land and the town and all who are living in it.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:10 @You have been a cause of shame to your house by cutting off a number of peoples, and sinning against your soul.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:15 @A curse on him who gives his neighbour the wine of his wrath, making him overcome with strong drink from the cup of his passion, so that you may be a witness of their shame!

bbe@Habakkuk:2:16 @You are full of shame in place of glory: take your part in the drinking, and let your shame be uncovered: the cup of the Lord's right hand will come round to you and your glory will be covered with shame.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:17 @For the violent acts against Lebanon will come on you, and the destruction of the cattle will be a cause of fear to you, because of men's blood and the violent acts against the land and the town and all who are living in it.

bbe@Habakkuk:2:18 @What profit is the pictured image to its maker? and as for the metal image, the false teacher, why does its maker put his faith in it, making false gods without a voice?

bbe@Habakkuk:3:2 @O Lord, word of you has come to my ears; I have seen your work, O Lord; when the years come near make it clear; in wrath keep mercy in mind.

bbe@Habakkuk:3:3 @God came from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. The heavens were covered with his glory, and the earth was full of his praise.

bbe@Habakkuk:3:5 @Before him went disease, and flames went out at his feet.

bbe@Habakkuk:3:10 @The mountains saw you and were moved with fear; the clouds were streaming with water: the voice of the deep was sounding; the sun did not come up, and the moon kept still in her place

bbe@Habakkuk:3:14 @You have put your spears through his head, his horsemen were sent in flight like dry stems; they had joy in driving away the poor, in making a meal of them secretly.

bbe@Habakkuk:3:16 @Hearing it, my inner parts were moved, and my lips were shaking at the sound; my bones became feeble, and my steps were uncertain under me: I gave sounds of grief in the day of trouble, when his forces came up against the people in bands.

bbe@Habakkuk:3:17 @For though the fig-tree has no flowers, and there is no fruit on the vine, and work on the olive comes to nothing, and the fields give no food; and the flock is cut off from its resting-place, and there is no herd in the cattle-house:

bbe@Zephaniah:1:1 @The word of the Lord which came to Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:4 @And my hand will be stretched out on Judah and on all the people of Jerusalem, cutting off the name of the Baal from this place, and the name of the false priests,

bbe@Zephaniah:1:8 @And it will come about in the day of the Lord's offering, that I will send punishment on the rulers and the king's sons and all who are clothed in robes from strange lands.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:9 @And in that day I will send punishment on all those who come jumping over the doorstep and make their master's house full of violent behaviour and deceit.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:12 @And it will come about at that time, that I will go searching through Jerusalem with lights; and I will send punishment on the men who have become like wine stored over-long, who say to themselves, The Lord will not do good and will not do evil.

bbe@Zephaniah:1:17 @And I will send trouble on men so that they will go about like the blind, because they have done evil against the Lord: and their blood will be drained out like dust, and their strength like waste.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:1 @Come together, make everyone come together, O nation without shame;

bbe@Zephaniah:2:2 @Before the Lord sends you violently away in flight like the waste from the grain; before the burning wrath of the Lord comes on you, before the day of the Lord's wrath comes on you.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:4 @For Gaza will be given up and Ashkelon will become waste: they will send Ashdod out in the middle of the day, and Ekron will be uprooted.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:8 @My ears have been open to the bitter words of Moab and the words of shame of the children of Ammon, which they have said against my people, lifting themselves up against the limit of their land.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:9 @For this cause, by my life, says the Lord of armies, the God of Israel, truly Moab will become like Sodom and the children of Ammon like Gomorrah, given up to waste plants and salt pools and unpeopled for ever: the rest of my people will take their property, the overflow of my nation will take their heritage.

bbe@Zephaniah:2:11 @The Lord will let himself be seen by them: for he will make all the gods of the earth feeble; and men will go down before him in worship, everyone from his place, even all the sea-lands of the nations.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:2 @She gave no attention to the voice, she had no use for teaching, she put no faith in the Lord, she did not come near to her God.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:5 @The Lord in her is upright; he will not do evil; every morning he lets his righteousness be seen, he is unchanging; but the evil-doer has no sense of shame.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:7 @I said, Certainly you will go in fear of me, and come under my training, so that whatever I may send on her may not be cut off before her eyes: but they got up early and made all their works evil.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:8 @For this reason, go on waiting for me, says the Lord, till the day when I come up as a witness: for my purpose is to send for the nations and to get the kingdoms together, so that I may let loose on them my passion, even all my burning wrath: for all the earth will be burned up in the fire of my bitter passion.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:10 @From over the rivers of Ethiopia, and from the sides of the north, they will come to me with an offering

bbe@Zephaniah:3:11 @In that day you will have no shame on account of all the things in which you did evil against me: for then I will take away from among you those who were lifted up in pride, and you will no longer be lifted up with pride in my holy mountain.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:12 @But I will still have among you a quiet and poor people, and they will put their faith in the name of the Lord.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:17 @The Lord your God is among you, as a strong saviour: he will be glad over you with joy, he will make his love new again, he will make a song of joy over you as in the time of a holy feast.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:18 @I will take away your troubles, lifting up your shame from off you.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:19 @See, at that time I will put an end to all who have been troubling you: I will give salvation to her whose steps are uncertain, and get together her who has been sent in flight; and I will make them a cause of praise and an honoured name in all the earth, when I let their fate be changed.

bbe@Zephaniah:3:20 @At that time I will make you come in, at that time I will get you together: for I will make you a name and a praise among all the peoples of the earth when I let your fate be changed before your eyes, says the Lord.

bbe@Haggai:1:1 @In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, on the first day of the month, came the word of the Lord by Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,

bbe@Haggai:1:2 @These are the words of the Lord of armies: These people say, The time has not come for building the Lord's house.

bbe@Haggai:1:3 @Then the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying,

bbe@Haggai:1:4 @Is it a time for you to be living in roofed houses while this house is a waste?

bbe@Haggai:1:6 @Much has been planted, but little got in; you take food, but have not enough; you take drink, but are not full; you are clothed, but no one is warm; and he who gets payment for his work, gets it to put it into a bag full of holes.

bbe@Haggai:1:9 @You were looking for much, and it came to little; and when you got it into your house, I took it away with a breath. Why? says the Lord of armies. Because of my house which is a waste, while every man takes care of the house which is his.

bbe@Haggai:1:11 @And by my order no rain came on the land or on the mountains or the grain or the wine or the oil or the produce of the earth or on men or cattle or on any work of man's hands.

bbe@Haggai:1:14 @And the spirit of Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, ruler of Judah, was moved by the Lord, as was the spirit of Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the rest of the people; and they came and did work in the house of the Lord of armies, their God.

bbe@Haggai:2:1 @In the seventh month, on the twenty-first day of the month, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying,

bbe@Haggai:2:5 @The agreement which I made with you when you came out of Egypt, and my spirit, are with you still; have no fear.

bbe@Haggai:2:6 @For this is what the Lord of armies has said: In a short time I will make a shaking of the heavens and the earth and the sea and the dry land;

bbe@Haggai:2:7 @And I will make a shaking of all the nations, and the desired things of all nations will come: and I will make this house full of my glory, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Haggai:2:10 @On the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came by Haggai the prophet, saying,

bbe@Haggai:2:12 @If anyone has some holy flesh folded in the skirt of his robe, will bread or soup or wine or oil or any other food be made holy if touched by his skirt? And the priests answering said, No.

bbe@Haggai:2:14 @Then Haggai said, So is this people and so is this nation before me, says the Lord; and so is every work of their hands; and the offering they give there is unclean.

bbe@Haggai:2:15 @And now, give thought, looking back from this day to the time before one stone was put on another in the Temple of the Lord:

bbe@Haggai:2:16 @How, when anyone came to a store of twenty measures, there were only ten: when anyone went to the wine-store to get fifty vessels full, there were only twenty.

bbe@Haggai:2:17 @And I sent burning and wasting and a rain of ice-drops on all the works of your hands; but still you were not turned to me, says the Lord.

bbe@Haggai:2:18 @And now, give thought; looking on from this day, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, from the time when the base of the Lord's house was put in its place, give thought to it.

bbe@Haggai:2:19 @Is the seed still in the store-house? have the vine and the fig-tree, the pomegranate and the olive-tree, still not given their fruit? from this day I will send my blessing on you.

bbe@Haggai:2:20 @And the word of the Lord came a second time to Haggai, on the twenty-fourth day of the month, saying,

bbe@Zechariah:1:1 @In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

bbe@Zechariah:1:3 @And you are to say to them, These are the words of the Lord of armies: Come back to me, says the Lord of armies, and I will come back to you.

bbe@Zechariah:1:4 @Be not like your fathers, to whom the voice of the earlier prophets came, saying, Be turned now from your evil ways and from your evil doings: but they did not give ear to me or take note, says the Lord.

bbe@Zechariah:1:7 @On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

bbe@Zechariah:1:9 @Then I said, O my lord, what are these? And the angel who was talking to me said to me, I will make clear to you what they are.

bbe@Zechariah:1:10 @And the man who was between the mountains, answering me, said, These are those whom the Lord has sent to go up and down through the earth.

bbe@Zechariah:1:12 @Then the angel of the Lord, answering, said, O Lord of armies, how long will it be before you have mercy on Jerusalem and on the towns of Judah against which your wrath has been burning for seventy years?

bbe@Zechariah:1:13 @And the Lord gave an answer in good and comforting words to the angel who was talking to me.

bbe@Zechariah:1:14 @And the angel who was talking to me said to me, Let your voice be loud and say, These are the words of the Lord of armies: I am greatly moved about the fate of Jerusalem and of Zion.

bbe@Zechariah:1:16 @So this is what the Lord has said: I have come back to Jerusalem with mercies; my house is to be put up in her, says the Lord of armies, and a line is to be stretched out over Jerusalem.

bbe@Zechariah:1:19 @And I said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these? And he said to me, These are the horns which have sent Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem in flight.

bbe@Zechariah:1:20 @And the Lord gave me a vision of four metal-workers.

bbe@Zechariah:1:21 @Then I said, What have these come to do? And he said, These are the horns which sent Judah in flight, and kept him from lifting up his head: but these men have come to send fear on them and to put down the nations who are lifting up their horns against the land of Judah to send it in flight.

bbe@Zechariah:2:1 @And lifting up my eyes, I saw a man with a measuring-line in his hand.

bbe@Zechariah:2:2 @And I said to him, Where are you going? And he said to me, To take the measure of Jerusalem, to see how wide and how long it is.

bbe@Zechariah:2:3 @And the angel who was talking to me went out, and another angel went out, and, meeting him,

bbe@Zechariah:2:4 @Said to him, Go quickly and say to this young man, Jerusalem will be an unwalled town, because of the great number of men and cattle in her.

bbe@Zechariah:2:8 @For this is what the Lord of armies has said: In the way of glory he has sent me to the nations which have taken your goods: for anyone touching you is touching what is most dear to him.

bbe@Zechariah:2:9 @For at the shaking of my hand over them, their goods will be taken by those who were their servants: and you will see that the Lord of armies has sent me.

bbe@Zechariah:2:10 @Give songs of joy, O daughter of Zion: for I come, and I will make my resting-place among you, says the Lord.

bbe@Zechariah:2:11 @And a number of nations will be joined to the Lord in that day, and will become my people; and I will be living among you, and you will see that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.

bbe@Zechariah:2:13 @Let all flesh be quiet and make no sound before the Lord: for he is awake and has come from his holy resting-place.

bbe@Zechariah:3:1 @And he let me see Joshua, the high priest, in his place before the angel of the Lord, and the Satan at his right hand ready to take up a cause against him.

bbe@Zechariah:3:6 @And the angel of the Lord made a statement to Joshua, and said,

bbe@Zechariah:3:7 @These are the words of the Lord of armies: If you will go in my ways and keep what I have put in your care, then you will be judge over my Temple and have the care of my house, and I will give you the right to come in among those who are there.

bbe@Zechariah:3:8 @Give ear now, O Joshua, the high priest, you and your friends who are seated before you; for these are men who are a sign: for see, I will let my servant the Branch be seen.

bbe@Zechariah:4:1 @And the angel who was talking to me came again, awaking me as a man out of his sleep.

bbe@Zechariah:4:2 @And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see a light-support, made all of gold, with its cup on the top of it and seven lights on it; and there are seven pipes to every one of the lights which are on the top of it;

bbe@Zechariah:4:4 @And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?

bbe@Zechariah:4:5 @Then the angel who was talking to me, answering me, said, Have you no knowledge of what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

bbe@Zechariah:4:7 @Who are you, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel you will become level: and he will let all see the headstone, with cries of Grace, grace, to it.

bbe@Zechariah:4:8 @Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Zechariah:4:9 @The hands of Zerubbabel have put the base of this house in place, and his hands will make it complete; and it will be clear to you that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.

bbe@Zechariah:4:10 @For who has had a poor opinion of the day of small things? for they will be glad when they see the weighted measuring-line in the hand of Zerubbabel

bbe@Zechariah:4:12 @And answering a second time, I said to him, What are these two olive branches, through whose gold pipes the oil is drained out?

bbe@Zechariah:4:13 @And he said in answer to me, Have you no knowledge what these are? And I said, No, my lord.

bbe@Zechariah:5:2 @And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, A roll going through the air; it is twenty cubits long and ten cubits wide.

bbe@Zechariah:5:3 @Then he said to me, This is the curse which goes out over the face of all the land: for long enough has every thief gone without punishment, and long enough has every taker of false oaths gone without punishment.

bbe@Zechariah:5:4 @And I will send it out, says the Lord of armies, and it will go into the house of the thief and into the house of him who takes a false oath by my name: and it will be in his house, causing its complete destruction, with its woodwork and its stones.

bbe@Zechariah:5:5 @And the angel who was talking to me went out and said to me, Let your eyes be lifted up now, and see the ephah which is going out.

bbe@Zechariah:5:9 @And lifting up my eyes I saw two women coming out, and the wind was in their wings; and they had wings like the wings of a stork: and they took the ephah, lifting it up between earth and heaven.

bbe@Zechariah:5:10 @And I said to the angel who was talking to me, Where are they taking the ephah?

bbe@Zechariah:5:11 @And he said to me, To make a house for her in the land of Shinar: and they will make a place ready, and put her there in the place which is hers.

bbe@Zechariah:6:4 @And I made answer and said to the angel who was talking to me, What are these, my lord?

bbe@Zechariah:6:5 @And the angel, answering, said to me, These go out to the four winds of heaven from their place before the Lord of all the earth.

bbe@Zechariah:6:8 @Then crying out to me, he said, See, those who are going to the north country have given rest to the spirit of the Lord in the north country.

bbe@Zechariah:6:9 @And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

bbe@Zechariah:6:10 @Take the offerings of those who went away as prisoners, from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, and from the family of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, who have come from Babylon;

bbe@Zechariah:6:12 @And say to him, These are the words of the Lord of armies: See, the man whose name is the Branch, under whom there will be fertile growth.

bbe@Zechariah:6:14 @And the crown will be for grace to Heldai and Tobijah and Jedaiah and the son of Zephaniah, to keep their memory living in the house of the Lord

bbe@Zechariah:6:15 @And those who are far away will come and be builders in the Temple of the Lord, and it will be clear to you that the Lord of armies has sent me to you.

bbe@Zechariah:7:1 @And it came about in the fourth year of King Darius, that the word of the Lord came to Zechariah on the fourth day of the ninth month, the month Chislev.

bbe@Zechariah:7:2 @Now they of Beth-el had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech to make a request for grace from the Lord,

bbe@Zechariah:7:4 @Then the word of the Lord of armies came to me, saying

bbe@Zechariah:7:5 @Say to all the people of the land and to the priests, When you went without food and gave yourselves to grief in the fifth and the seventh months for these seventy years, did you ever do it because of me?

bbe@Zechariah:7:8 @And the word of the Lord came to Zechariah, saying,

bbe@Zechariah:7:9 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: Let your judging be upright and done in good faith, let every man have mercy and pity for his brother:

bbe@Zechariah:7:12 @And they made their hearts like the hardest stone, so that they might not give ear to the law and the words which the Lord of armies had said by the earlier prophets: and there came great wrath from the Lord of armies.

bbe@Zechariah:7:13 @And it came about that as they would not give ear to his voice, so I would not give ear to their voice, says the Lord of armies:

bbe@Zechariah:7:14 @But with a storm-wind I sent them in flight among all the nations of whom they had no knowledge. So the land was waste after them, so that no man went through or came back: for they had made waste the desired land.

bbe@Zechariah:8:1 @And the word of the Lord of armies came to me, saying,

bbe@Zechariah:8:3 @This is what the Lord has said: I have come back to Zion, and will make my living-place in Jerusalem: and Jerusalem will be named The town of good faith; and the mountain of the Lord of armies The holy mountain.

bbe@Zechariah:8:4 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: There will again be old men and old women seated in the open spaces of Jerusalem, every man with his stick in his hand because he is so old.

bbe@Zechariah:8:6 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: If this is a wonder to the rest of this people, is it a wonder to me? says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Zechariah:8:8 @And I will make them come and be living in Jerusalem and they will be to me a people and I will be to them a God, in good faith and in righteousness.

bbe@Zechariah:8:10 @For before those days there was no payment for a man's work, or for the use of a beast, and there was no peace for him who went out or him who came in, because of the attacker: for I had every man turned against his neighbour.

bbe@Zechariah:8:13 @And it will come about that, as you were a curse among the nations, O children of Judah and children of Israel, so I will give you salvation and you will be a blessing: have no fear and let your hands be strong.

bbe@Zechariah:8:14 @For this is what the Lord of armies has said: As it was my purpose to do evil to you when your fathers made me angry, says the Lord of armies, and my purpose was not changed:

bbe@Zechariah:8:17 @Let no one have any evil thought in his heart against his neighbour; and have no love for false oaths: for all these things are hated by me, says the Lord.

bbe@Zechariah:8:18 @And the word of the Lord of armies came to me, saying,

bbe@Zechariah:8:19 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: The times of going without food in the fourth month and in the fifth and the seventh and the tenth months, will be for the people of Judah times of joy and happy meetings; so be lovers of good faith and of peace.

bbe@Zechariah:8:20 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: It will again come about that when peoples and those living in great towns come,

bbe@Zechariah:8:22 @And great peoples and strong nations will come to give worship to the Lord of armies in Jerusalem and to make requests for grace from the Lord.

bbe@Zechariah:8:23 @This is what the Lord of armies has said: In those days, ten men from all the languages of the nations will put out their hands and take a grip of the skirt of him who is a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for it has come to our ears that God is with you.

bbe@Zechariah:9:1 @A word of the Lord: The Lord has come to the land of Hadrach, and Damascus is his resting-place: for the towns of Aram are the Lord's,

bbe@Zechariah:9:5 @Ashkelon will see it with fear, and Gaza, bent with pain; and Ekron, for her hope will be shamed: and the king will be cut off from Gaza, and Ashkelon will be unpeopled.

bbe@Zechariah:9:7 @And I will take away his blood from his mouth, and his disgusting things from between his teeth; and some of his people will be kept for our God: and he will be as a family in Judah, and Ekron as one living in Jerusalem.

bbe@Zechariah:9:9 @Be full of joy, O daughter of Zion; give a glad cry, O daughter of Jerusalem: see, your king comes to you: he is upright and has overcome; gentle and seated on an ass, on a young ass.

bbe@Zechariah:9:11 @And as for you, because of the blood of your agreement, I have sent out your prisoners from the deep hole in which there is no water.

bbe@Zechariah:9:12 @And they will come back to you, O daughter of Zion, as prisoners of hope: today I say to you that I will give you back twice as much;

bbe@Zechariah:10:1 @Make your request to the Lord for rain in the time of the spring rains, even to the Lord who makes the thunder-flames; and he will give them showers of rain, to every man grass in the field.

bbe@Zechariah:10:3 @My wrath is burning against the keepers of the flock, and I will send punishment on the he-goats: for the Lord of armies takes care of his flock, the people of Judah, and will make them like the horse of his pride in the fight.

bbe@Zechariah:10:4 @From him will come the keystone, from him the nail, from him the bow of war, from him will come every ruler;

bbe@Zechariah:10:5 @Together they will be like men of war, crushing down their haters into the earth of the streets in the fight; they will make war because the Lord is with them: and the horsemen will be shamed.

bbe@Zechariah:10:9 @Though I had them planted among the peoples, they will keep me in mind in far countries: and they will take care of their children and will come back

bbe@Zechariah:10:10 @And I will make them come back out of the land of Egypt, and will get them together out of Assyria; and I will take them into the land of Gilead, and it will not be wide enough for them.

bbe@Zechariah:10:11 @And they will go through the sea of Egypt, and all the deep waters of the Nile will become dry: and the pride of Assyria will be made low, and the power of Egypt will be taken away.

bbe@Zechariah:10:12 @And their strength will be in the Lord; and their pride will be in his name, says the Lord.

bbe@Zechariah:11:2 @Give a cry of grief, O fir-tree, for the fall of the cedar, because the great ones have been made low: give cries of grief, O you oaks of Bashan, for the strong trees of the wood have come down.

bbe@Zechariah:11:8 @And in one month I put an end to the three keepers of the flock; for my soul was tired of them, and their souls were disgusted with me.

bbe@Zechariah:11:9 @And I said, I will not take care of you: If death comes to any, let death be its fate; if any is cut off, let it be cut off; and let the rest take one another's flesh for food.

bbe@Zechariah:11:10 @And I took my rod Beautiful, cutting it in two, so that the Lord's agreement, which he had made with all the peoples, might be broken.

bbe@Zechariah:11:11 @And it was broken on that day: and the sheep-traders, who were watching me, were certain that it was the word of the Lord

bbe@Zechariah:11:12 @And I said to them, If it seems good to you, give me my payment; and if not, do not give it. So they gave me my payment by weight, thirty shekels of silver.

bbe@Zechariah:11:13 @And the Lord said to me, Put it into the store-house, the price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty shekels of silver and put them into the store-house in the house of the Lord.

bbe@Zechariah:11:14 @Then I took my other rod, the one named Bands, cutting it in two, so that the relation of brothers between Judah and Israel might be broken.

bbe@Zechariah:11:17 @A curse on the foolish keeper who goes away from the flock! the sword will be on his arm and on his right eye: his arm will become quite dry and his eye will be made completely dark.

bbe@Zechariah:13:3 @And if anyone goes on acting as a prophet, then his father and his mother who gave him life will say to him, You may not go on living, for you are saying what is false in the name of the Lord; and his father and his mother will put a sword through him when he does so.

bbe@Zechariah:13:4 @And it will come about in that day that the prophets will be shamed, every man on account of his vision, when he is talking as a prophet; and they will not put on a robe of hair for purposes of deceit:

bbe@Zechariah:13:5 @But he will say, I am no prophet, but a worker on the land; for I have been an owner of land from the time when I was young.

bbe@Zechariah:13:7 @Awake! O sword, against the keeper of my flock, and against him who is with me, says the Lord of armies: put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep will go in flight: and my hand will be turned against the little ones.

bbe@Zechariah:13:8 @And it will come about that in all the land, says the Lord, two parts of it will be cut off and come to an end; but the third will be still living there.

bbe@Zechariah:13:9 @And I will make the third part go through the fire, cleaning them as silver is made clean, and testing them as gold is tested: and they will make their prayer to me and I will give them an answer: I will say, It is my people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.

bbe@Zechariah:14:2 @For I will get all the nations together to make war against Jerusalem; and the town will be overcome, and the goods taken from the houses, and the women taken by force: and half the town will go away as prisoners, and the rest of the people will not be cut off from the town.

bbe@Zechariah:14:5 @And the valley will be stopped... and you will go in flight as you went in flight from the earth-shock in the days of Uzziah, king of Judah: and the Lord my God will come, and all his holy ones with him.

bbe@Zechariah:14:8 @And on that day living waters will go out from Jerusalem; half of them flowing to the sea on the east and half to the sea on the west: in summer and in winter it will be so.

bbe@Zechariah:14:9 @And the Lord will be King over all the earth: in that day there will be one Lord and his name one.

bbe@Zechariah:14:10 @And all the land will become like the Arabah, from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem; and she will be lifted up and be living in her place; from the doorway of Benjamin to the place of the first doorway, to the doorway of the angle, and from the tower of Hananel to the king's wine-crushing places, men will be living in her.

bbe@Zechariah:14:15 @And the horses and the transport beasts, the camels and the asses and all the beasts in those tents will be attacked by the same disease.

bbe@Zechariah:14:16 @And it will come about that everyone who is still living, of all those nations who came against Jerusalem, will go up from year to year to give worship to the King, the Lord of armies, and to keep the feast of tents.

bbe@Zechariah:14:18 @And if the family of Egypt does not go up or come there, they will be attacked by the disease which the Lord will send on the nations:

bbe@Zechariah:14:19 @This will be the punishment of Egypt, and the punishment of all the nations who do not go up to keep the feast of tents.

bbe@Zechariah:14:21 @And every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah will be holy to the Lord of armies: and all those who make offerings will come and take them for boiling their offerings: in that day there will be no more traders in the house of the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:1:2 @You have been loved by me, says the Lord. But you say, Where was your love for us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother? says the Lord: but Jacob was loved by me,

bbe@Malachi:1:4 @Though Edom says, We are crushed down but we will come back, building up the waste places; this is what the Lord of armies has said: They may put up buildings, but I will have them pulled down; and they will be named The land of evil-doing, and The people against whom the Lord keeps his wrath for ever.

bbe@Malachi:1:6 @A son gives honour to his father, and a servant has fear of his master: if then I am a father, where is my honour? and if I am a master, where is the fear of me? says the Lord of armies to you, O priests, who give no value to my name. And you say, How have we not given value to your name?

bbe@Malachi:1:9 @And now, make request for the grace of God so that he may have mercy on us: this has been your doing: will he give his approval to any of you? says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:1:11 @For, from the coming up of the sun till its going down, my name is great among the Gentiles; and in every place the smell of burning flesh is offered to my name, and a clean offering: for my name is great among the Gentiles, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:1:12 @But you make it unholy by saying, The Lord's table has become unclean, and his food is of no value.

bbe@Malachi:1:13 @And you say, See, what a weariness it is! and you let out your breath at it, says the Lord of armies; and you have given what has been cut about by beasts, and what is damaged in its feet and ill; this is the offering you give: will this be pleasing to me from your hands? says the Lord.

bbe@Malachi:1:14 @A curse on the false man who has a male in his flock, and takes his oath, and gives to the Lord a damaged thing: for I am a great King, says the Lord of armies, and my name is to be feared among the Gentiles.

bbe@Malachi:2:2 @If you will not give ear and take it to heart, to give glory to my name, says the Lord of armies, then I will send the curse on you and will put a curse on your blessing: truly, even now I have put a curse on it, because you do not take it to heart.

bbe@Malachi:2:4 @And you will be certain that I have sent this order to you, so that it might be my agreement with Levi, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:2:5 @My agreement with him was on my side life and peace, and I gave them to him; on his side fear, and he had fear of me and gave honour to my name.

bbe@Malachi:2:6 @True teaching was in his mouth, and no evil was seen on his lips: he was walking with me in peace and righteousness, turning numbers of people away from evil-doing.

bbe@Malachi:2:7 @For it is right for the priest's lips to keep knowledge, and for men to be waiting for the law from his mouth: for he is the servant sent from the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:2:8 @But you are turned out of the way; you have made the law hard for numbers of people; you have made the agreement of Levi of no value, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:2:9 @And so I have taken away your honour and made you low before all the people, even as you have not kept my ways, and have given no thought to me in using the law.

bbe@Malachi:2:10 @Have we not all one father? has not one God made us? why are we, every one of us, acting falsely to his brother, putting shame on the agreement of our fathers?

bbe@Malachi:3:1 @See, I am sending my servant, and he will make ready the way before me; and the Lord, whom you are looking for, will suddenly come to his Temple; and the angel of the agreement, in whom you have delight, see, he is coming, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:3:2 @But by whom may the day of his coming be faced? and who may keep his place when he is seen? for he is like the metal-tester's fire and the cleaner's soap.

bbe@Malachi:3:5 @And I will come near to you for judging; I will quickly be a witness against the wonder-workers, against those who have been untrue in married life, against those who take false oaths; against those who keep back from the servant his payment, and who are hard on the widow and the child without a father, who do not give his rights to the man from a strange country, and have no fear of me, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:3:7 @From the days of your fathers you have been turned away from my rules and have not kept them. Come back to me, and I will come back to you, says the Lord of armies. But you say, How are we to come back?

bbe@Malachi:3:9 @You are cursed with a curse; for you have kept back from me what is mine, even all this nation.

bbe@Malachi:3:10 @Let your tenths come into the store-house so that there may be food in my house, and put me to the test by doing so, says the Lord of armies, and see if I do not make the windows of heaven open and send down such a blessing on you that there is no room for it

bbe@Malachi:3:11 @And on your account I will keep back the locusts from wasting the fruits of your land; and the fruit of your vine will not be dropped on the field before its time, says the Lord of armies

bbe@Malachi:3:12 @And you will be named happy by all nations: for you will be a land of delight, says the Lord of armies.

bbe@Malachi:3:13 @Your words have been strong against me, says the Lord. And still you say, What have we said against you?

bbe@Malachi:3:15 @And now to us the men of pride seem happy; yes, the evil-doers are doing well; they put God to the test and are safe.

bbe@Malachi:3:16 @Then those in whom was the fear of the Lord had talk together: and the Lord gave ear, and it was recorded in a book to be kept in mind before him, for those who had the fear of the Lord and gave thought to his name.

bbe@Malachi:3:17 @And they will be mine, says the Lord, in the day when I make them my special property; and I will have mercy on them as a man has mercy on his son who is his servant.

bbe@Malachi:4:1 @For see, the day is coming, it is burning like an oven; all the men of pride and all who do evil will be dry stems of grass: and in the day which is coming they will be burned up, says the Lord of armies, till they have not a root or a branch.

bbe@Malachi:4:2 @But to you who give worship to my name, the sun of righteousness will come up with new life in its wings; and you will go out, playing like young oxen full of food.

bbe@Malachi:4:5 @See, I am sending you Elijah the prophet before the day of the Lord comes, that great day, greatly to be feared.

bbe@Malachi:4:6 @And by him the hearts of fathers will be turned to their children, and the hearts of children to their fathers; for fear that I may come and put the earth under a curse.

bbe@Matthew:1:11 @And the sons of Josiah were Jechoniah and his brothers, at the time of the taking away to Babylon.

bbe@Matthew:1:16 @And the son of Jacob was Joseph the husband of Mary, who gave birth to Jesus, whose name is Christ.

bbe@Matthew:1:18 @Now the birth of Jesus Christ was in this way: when his mother Mary was going to be married to Joseph, before they came together the discovery was made that she was with child by the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Matthew:1:20 @But when he was giving thought to these things, an angel of the Lord came to him in a dream, saying, Joseph, son of David, have no fear of taking Mary as your wife; because that which is in her body is of the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Matthew:1:21 @And she will give birth to a son; and you will give him the name Jesus; for he will give his people salvation from their sins.

bbe@Matthew:1:22 @Now all this took place so that the word of the Lord by the prophet might come true,

bbe@Matthew:1:23 @See, the virgin will be with child, and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel, that is, God with us.

bbe@Matthew:1:25 @And he had no connection with her till she had given birth to a son; and he gave him the name Jesus.

bbe@Matthew:2:1 @Now when the birth of Jesus took place in Beth-lehem of Judaea, in the days of Herod the king, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,

bbe@Matthew:2:2 @Saying, Where is the King of the Jews whose birth has now taken place? We have seen his star in the east and have come to give him worship.

bbe@Matthew:2:3 @And when it came to the ears of Herod the king, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.

bbe@Matthew:2:6 @You Beth-lehem, in the land of Judah, are not the least among the chiefs of Judah: out of you will come a ruler, who will be the keeper of my people Israel.

bbe@Matthew:2:7 @Then Herod sent for the wise men privately, and put questions to them about what time the star had been seen.

bbe@Matthew:2:8 @And he sent them to Beth-lehem and said, Go and make certain where the young child is; and when you have seen him, let me have news of it, so that I may come and give him worship.

bbe@Matthew:2:9 @And after hearing the king, they went on their way; and the star which they saw in the east went before them, till it came to rest over the place where the young child was.

bbe@Matthew:2:11 @And they came into the house, and saw the young child with Mary, his mother; and falling down on their faces they gave him worship; and from their store they gave him offerings of gold, perfume, and spices.

bbe@Matthew:2:13 @And when they had gone, an angel of the Lord came to Joseph in a dream, saying, Get up and take the young child and his mother, and go into Egypt, and do not go from there till I give you word; for Herod will be searching for the young child to put him to death.

bbe@Matthew:2:15 @And was there till the death of Herod; so that the word of the Lord through the prophet might come true, Out of Egypt have I sent for my son.

bbe@Matthew:2:16 @Then Herod, when he saw that he had been tricked by the wise men, was very angry; and he sent out, and put to death all the male children in Beth-lehem and in all the parts round about it, from two years old and under, acting on the knowledge which he had got with care from the wise men.

bbe@Matthew:2:17 @Then the word of Jeremiah the prophet came true,

bbe@Matthew:2:19 @But when Herod was dead, an angel of the Lord came in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,

bbe@Matthew:2:21 @And he got up, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.

bbe@Matthew:2:22 @But when it came to his ears that Archelaus was ruling over Judaea in the place of his father Herod, he was in fear of going there; and God having given him news of the danger in a dream, he went out of the way into the country parts of Galilee.

bbe@Matthew:2:23 @And he came and was living in a town named Nazareth: so that the word of the prophets might come true, He will be named a Nazarene.

bbe@Matthew:3:1 @And in those days John the Baptist came preaching in the waste land of Judaea,

bbe@Matthew:3:4 @Now John was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather band about him; and his food was locusts and honey.

bbe@Matthew:3:7 @But when he saw a number of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his baptism, he said to them, Offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come?

bbe@Matthew:3:11 @Truly, I give baptism with water to those of you whose hearts are changed; but he who comes after me is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to take up: he will give you baptism with the Holy Spirit and with fire:

bbe@Matthew:3:12 @In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned up in the fire which will never be put out.

bbe@Matthew:3:13 @Then Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan, to be given baptism by him.

bbe@Matthew:3:14 @But John would have kept him back, saying, It is I who have need of baptism from you, and do you come to me?

bbe@Matthew:3:17 @And a voice came out of heaven, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

bbe@Matthew:4:3 @And the Evil One came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, give the word for these stones to become bread.

bbe@Matthew:4:4 @But he made answer and said, It is in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need, but every word which comes out of the mouth of God.

bbe@Matthew:4:9 @And he said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will go down on your face and give me worship.

bbe@Matthew:4:11 @Then the Evil One went away from him, and angels came and took care of him.

bbe@Matthew:4:12 @Now when it came to his ears that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee;

bbe@Matthew:4:13 @And going away from Nazareth, he came and made his living-place in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the country of Zebulun and Naphtali:

bbe@Matthew:4:14 @So that the word of the prophet Isaiah might come true,

bbe@Matthew:4:16 @The people who were in the dark saw a great light, and to those in the land of the shade of death did the dawn come up.

bbe@Matthew:4:17 @From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near.

bbe@Matthew:4:18 @And when he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, whose other name was Peter, and Andrew, his brother, who were putting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

bbe@Matthew:4:19 @And he said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

bbe@Matthew:4:21 @And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in the boat with their father, stitching up their nets; and he said, Come.

bbe@Matthew:4:22 @And they went straight from the boat and their father and came after him.

bbe@Matthew:5:1 @And seeing great masses of people he went up into the mountain; and when he was seated his disciples came to him.

bbe@Matthew:5:7 @Happy are those who have mercy: for they will be given mercy.

bbe@Matthew:5:9 @Happy are the peacemakers: for they will be named sons of God.

bbe@Matthew:5:11 @Happy are you when men give you a bad name, and are cruel to you, and say all evil things against you falsely, because of me.

bbe@Matthew:5:13 @You are the salt of the earth; but if its taste goes from the salt, how will you make it salt again? it is then good for nothing but to be put out and crushed under foot by men.

bbe@Matthew:5:16 @Even so let your light be shining before men, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.

bbe@Matthew:5:17 @Let there be no thought that I have come to put an end to the law or the prophets. I have not come for destruction, but to make complete.

bbe@Matthew:5:18 @Truly I say to you, Till heaven and earth come to an end, not the smallest letter or part of a letter will in any way be taken from the law, till all things are done.

bbe@Matthew:5:19 @Whoever then goes against the smallest of these laws, teaching men to do the same, will be named least in the kingdom of heaven; but he who keeps the laws, teaching others to keep them, will be named great in the kingdom of heaven.

bbe@Matthew:5:21 @You have knowledge that it was said in old times, You may not put to death; and, Whoever puts to death will be in danger of being judged:

bbe@Matthew:5:23 @If then you are making an offering at the altar and there it comes to your mind that your brother has something against you,

bbe@Matthew:5:24 @While your offering is still before the altar, first go and make peace with your brother, then come and make your offering.

bbe@Matthew:5:25 @Come to an agreement quickly with him who has a cause against you at law, while you are with him on the way, for fear that he may give you up to the judge and the judge may give you to the police and you may be put into prison.

bbe@Matthew:5:26 @Truly I say to you, You will not come out from there till you have made payment of the very last farthing.

bbe@Matthew:5:31 @Again, it was said, Whoever puts away his wife has to give her a statement in writing for this purpose:

bbe@Matthew:5:33 @Again, you have knowledge that it was said in old times, Do not take false oaths, but give effect to your oaths to the Lord:

bbe@Matthew:5:42 @Give to him who comes with a request, and keep not your property from him who would for a time make use of it.

bbe@Matthew:5:46 @For if you have love for those who have love for you, what credit is it to you? do not the tax-farmers the same?

bbe@Matthew:5:47 @And if you say, Good day, to your brothers only, what do you do more than others? do not even the Gentiles the same?

bbe@Matthew:6:1 @Take care not to do your good works before men, to be seen by them; or you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

bbe@Matthew:6:2 @When then you give money to the poor, do not make a noise about it, as the false-hearted men do in the Synagogues and in the streets, so that they may have glory from men. Truly, I say to you, They have their reward.

bbe@Matthew:6:5 @And when you make your prayers, be not like the false-hearted men, who take pleasure in getting up and saying their prayers in the Synagogues and at the street turnings so that they may be seen by men. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

bbe@Matthew:6:7 @And in your prayer do not make use of the same words again and again, as the Gentiles do: for they have the idea that God will give attention to them because of the number of their words.

bbe@Matthew:6:9 @Let this then be your prayer: Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.

bbe@Matthew:6:10 @Let your kingdom come. Let your pleasure be done, as in heaven, so on earth.

bbe@Matthew:6:14 @For if you let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will have forgiveness from your Father in heaven

bbe@Matthew:6:15 @But if you do not let men have forgiveness for their sins, you will not have forgiveness from your Father for your sins.

bbe@Matthew:6:16 @And when you go without food, be not sad-faced as the false-hearted are. For they go about with changed looks, so that men may see that they are going without food. Truly I say to you, They have their reward.

bbe@Matthew:6:19 @Make no store of wealth for yourselves on earth, where it may be turned to dust by worms and weather, and where thieves may come in by force and take it away.

bbe@Matthew:6:20 @But make a store for yourselves in heaven, where it will not be turned to dust and where thieves do not come in to take it away:

bbe@Matthew:6:28 @And why are you troubled about clothing? See the flowers of the field, how they come up; they do no work, they make no thread:

bbe@Matthew:6:34 @Then have no care for tomorrow: tomorrow will take care of itself. Take the trouble of the day as it comes.

bbe@Matthew:7:2 @For as you have been judging, so you will be judged, and with your measure will it be measured to you.

bbe@Matthew:7:4 @Or how will you say to your brother, Let me take out the grain of dust from your eye, when you yourself have a bit of wood in your eye?

bbe@Matthew:7:12 @All those things, then, which you would have men do to you, even so do you to them: because this is the law and the prophets.

bbe@Matthew:7:15 @Be on the watch for false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inside they are cruel wolves.

bbe@Matthew:7:21 @Not everyone who says to me, Lord, Lord, will go into the kingdom of heaven; but he who does the pleasure of my Father in heaven.

bbe@Matthew:7:22 @A great number will say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, were we not prophets in your name, and did we not by your name send out evil spirits, and by your name do works of power?

bbe@Matthew:7:23 @And then will I say to them, I never had knowledge of you: go from me, you workers of evil.

bbe@Matthew:7:24 @Everyone, then, to whom my words come and who does them, will be like a wise man who made his house on a rock;

bbe@Matthew:7:25 @And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house, but it was not moved; because it was based on the rock.

bbe@Matthew:7:26 @And everyone to whom my words come and who does them not, will be like a foolish man who made his house on sand;

bbe@Matthew:7:27 @And the rain came down and there was a rush of waters and the winds were driving against that house; and it came down and great was its fall.

bbe@Matthew:7:28 @And it came about, when Jesus had come to the end of these words, that the people were surprised at his teaching,

bbe@Matthew:8:1 @And when he had come down from the mountain, great numbers of people came after him.

bbe@Matthew:8:2 @And a leper came and gave him worship, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean.

bbe@Matthew:8:5 @And when Jesus was come into Capernaum, a certain captain came to him with a request,

bbe@Matthew:8:7 @And he said to him, I will come and make him well.

bbe@Matthew:8:8 @And the captain in answer said, Lord, I am not good enough for you to come under my roof; but only say the word, and my servant will be made well.

bbe@Matthew:8:9 @Because I myself am a man under authority, having under me fighting men; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

bbe@Matthew:8:10 @And when these words came to the ears of Jesus he was surprised, and said to those who came after him, Truly I say to you, I have not seen such great faith, no, not in Israel.

bbe@Matthew:8:11 @And I say to you that numbers will come from the east and the west, and will take their seats with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven:

bbe@Matthew:8:14 @And when Jesus had come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother in bed, very ill.

bbe@Matthew:8:17 @So that the word of Isaiah the prophet might come true: He himself took our pains and our diseases.

bbe@Matthew:8:19 @And there came a scribe and said to him, Master, I will come after you wherever you go.

bbe@Matthew:8:21 @And another of the disciples said to him, Lord, let me first go and give the last honours to my father.

bbe@Matthew:8:22 @But Jesus said to him, Come after me; and let the dead take care of their dead.

bbe@Matthew:8:24 @And there came up a great storm in the sea, so that the boat was covered with the waves: but he was sleeping.

bbe@Matthew:8:25 @And they came to him, and, awaking him, said, Help, Lord; destruction is near.

bbe@Matthew:8:27 @And the men were full of wonder, saying, What sort of man is this, that even the winds and the sea do his orders?

bbe@Matthew:8:28 @And when he had come to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, there came out to him from the place of the dead, two who had evil spirits, so violent that no man was able to go that way.

bbe@Matthew:8:29 @And they gave a loud cry, saying, What have we to do with you, you Son of God? Have you come here to give us punishment before the time?

bbe@Matthew:8:30 @Now there was, some distance away, a great herd of pigs taking their food.

bbe@Matthew:8:32 @And he said to them, Go. And they came out, and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea and came to their end in the water.

bbe@Matthew:8:33 @And their keepers went in flight to the town and gave an account of everything, and of the men who had the evil spirits.

bbe@Matthew:8:34 @And all the town came out to Jesus; and seeing him they made request that he would go away from their part of the country.

bbe@Matthew:9:1 @And he got into a boat and went across and came to his town.

bbe@Matthew:9:3 @And some of the scribes said among themselves, This man has no respect for God.

bbe@Matthew:9:8 @But when the people saw it they were full of fear, and gave glory to God who had given such authority to men.

bbe@Matthew:9:9 @And when Jesus was going from there, he saw a man whose name was Matthew, seated at the place where taxes were taken; and he said to him, Come after me. And he got up and went after him.

bbe@Matthew:9:10 @And it came about, when he was in the house taking food, that a number of tax-farmers and sinners came and took their places with Jesus and his disciples.

bbe@Matthew:9:11 @And when the Pharisees saw it, they said to his disciples, Why does your Master take food with tax-farmers and sinners?

bbe@Matthew:9:12 @But on hearing this he said, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.

bbe@Matthew:9:13 @But go and take to heart the sense of these words, My desire is for mercy, not offerings: for I have come not to get the upright, but sinners.

bbe@Matthew:9:14 @Then the disciples of John came to him, saying, Why do we and the Pharisees frequently go without food, but your disciples do not?

bbe@Matthew:9:15 @And Jesus said to them, Will the friends of the newly-married man be sad as long as he is with them? But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then will they go without food.

bbe@Matthew:9:17 @And men do not put new wine into old wine-skins; or the skins will be burst and the wine will come out, and the skins are of no more use: but they put new wine into new wine-skins, and so the two will be safe.

bbe@Matthew:9:18 @While he was saying these things to them, there came a ruler and gave him worship, saying, My daughter is even now dead; but come and put your hand on her, and she will come back to life.

bbe@Matthew:9:20 @And a woman, who for twelve years had had a flow of blood, came after him, and put her hand on the edge of his robe:

bbe@Matthew:9:23 @And when Jesus came into the ruler's house and saw the players with their instruments and the people making a noise,

bbe@Matthew:9:27 @And when Jesus went on from there, two blind men came after him, crying out, Have mercy on us, you Son of David.

bbe@Matthew:9:28 @And when he had come into the house, the blind men came to him; and Jesus said to them, Have you faith that I am able to do this? They said to him, Yes, Lord.

bbe@Matthew:9:32 @And while they were going away, there came to him a man without the power of talking, and with an evil spirit.

bbe@Matthew:9:34 @But the Pharisees said, By the ruler of evil spirits, he sends evil spirits out of men.

bbe@Matthew:9:37 @Then he said to his disciples, There is much grain but not enough men to get it in.

bbe@Matthew:10:2 @Now the names of the twelve are these: The first, Simon, who is named Peter, and Andrew, his brother; James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother;

bbe@Matthew:10:3 @Philip and Bartholomew; Thomas and Matthew, the tax-farmer; James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus;

bbe@Matthew:10:8 @Make well those who are ill, give life to the dead, make lepers clean, send evil spirits out of men; freely it has been given to you, freely give.

bbe@Matthew:10:11 @And into whatever town or small place you go, make search there for someone who is respected, and make his house your resting-place till you go away.

bbe@Matthew:10:13 @And if the house is good enough, let your peace come on it: but if not, let your peace come back to you.

bbe@Matthew:10:17 @But be on the watch against men: for they will give you up to the Sanhedrins, and in their Synagogues they will give you blows;

bbe@Matthew:10:18 @And you will come before rulers and kings because of me, for a witness to them and to the Gentiles.

bbe@Matthew:10:22 @And you will be hated by all men because of my name: but he who is strong to the end will have salvation.

bbe@Matthew:10:23 @But when they are cruel to you in one town, go in flight to another: for truly, I say to you, You will not have gone through the towns of Israel before the Son of man comes.

bbe@Matthew:10:25 @It is enough for the disciple that he may be as his master, and the servant as his lord. If they have given the name Beelzebub to the master of the house, how much more to those of his house!

bbe@Matthew:10:26 @Have, then, no fear of them: because nothing is covered which will not come to light, or secret which will not be made clear.

bbe@Matthew:10:27 @What I say to you in the dark, say in the light: and what comes to your ear secretly, say publicly from the house-tops.

bbe@Matthew:10:29 @Are not sparrows two a farthing? and not one of them comes to an end without your Father:

bbe@Matthew:10:32 @To everyone, then, who gives witness to me before men, I will give witness before my Father in heaven.

bbe@Matthew:10:33 @But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before my Father in heaven.

bbe@Matthew:10:34 @Do not have the thought that I have come to send peace on the earth; I came not to send peace but a sword.

bbe@Matthew:10:35 @For I have come to put a man against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law:

bbe@Matthew:10:37 @He who has more love for his father or mother than for me is not good enough for me; he who has more love for son or daughter than for me is not good enough for me.

bbe@Matthew:10:38 @And he who does not take his cross and come after me is not good enough for me.

bbe@Matthew:10:39 @He who has the desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, and he who gives up his life because of me will have it given back to him.

bbe@Matthew:10:40 @He who gives honour to you gives honour to me; and he who gives honour to me gives honour to him who sent me.

bbe@Matthew:10:41 @He who gives honour to a prophet, in the name of a prophet, will be given a prophet's reward; and he who gives honour to an upright man, in the name of an upright man, will be given an upright man's reward.

bbe@Matthew:10:42 @And whoever gives to one of these little ones a cup of cold water only, in the name of a disciple, truly I say to you, he will not go without his reward.

bbe@Matthew:11:1 @And it came about that when Jesus had come to the end of giving these orders to his twelve disciples, he went away from there, teaching and preaching in their towns.

bbe@Matthew:11:3 @To say to him, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?

bbe@Matthew:11:5 @The blind see; those who were not able to, are walking; lepers are made clean; those who were without hearing, now have their ears open; the dead come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.

bbe@Matthew:11:6 @And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about me.

bbe@Matthew:11:11 @Truly I say to you, Among the sons of women there has not been a greater than John the Baptist: but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he

bbe@Matthew:11:12 @And from the days of John the Baptist till now, the kingdom of heaven is forcing its way in, and men of force take it.

bbe@Matthew:11:14 @And if you are able to see it, this is Elijah who was to come.

bbe@Matthew:11:18 @For John came, taking no food or drink, and they say, He has an evil spirit.

bbe@Matthew:11:19 @The Son of man has come feasting, and they say, See, a lover of food and wine, a friend of tax-farmers and sinners! And wisdom is judged to be right by her works.

bbe@Matthew:11:25 @At that time Jesus made answer and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children.

bbe@Matthew:11:27 @All things have been given to me by my Father; and no one has knowledge of the Son, but the Father; and no one has knowledge of the Father, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.

bbe@Matthew:11:28 @Come to me, all you who are troubled and weighted down with care, and I will give you rest.

bbe@Matthew:11:29 @Take my yoke on you and become like me, for I am gentle and without pride, and you will have rest for your souls;

bbe@Matthew:12:1 @At that time Jesus went through the fields on the Sabbath day; and his disciples, being in need of food, were taking the heads of grain.

bbe@Matthew:12:7 @But if these words had been in your minds, My desire is for mercy and not for offerings, you would not have been judging those who have done no wrong.

bbe@Matthew:12:10 @And there was a man with a dead hand. And they put a question to him, saying, Is it right to make a man well on the Sabbath day? so that they might have something against him.

bbe@Matthew:12:17 @So that what was said by Isaiah the prophet might come true,

bbe@Matthew:12:20 @The crushed stem will not be broken by him; and the feebly burning light will he not put out, till he has made righteousness overcome all.

bbe@Matthew:12:21 @And in his name will the Gentiles put their hope.

bbe@Matthew:12:24 @But the Pharisees, hearing of it, said, This man only sends evil spirits out of men by Beelzebub, the ruler of evil spirits.

bbe@Matthew:12:25 @And having knowledge of their thoughts he said to them, Every kingdom having division in itself is made waste, and every town or house having division in itself will come to destruction.

bbe@Matthew:12:27 @And if I by Beelzebub send evil spirits out of men, by whom do your sons send them out? So let them be your judges.

bbe@Matthew:12:28 @But if I by the Spirit of God send out evil spirits, then is the kingdom of God come on you.

bbe@Matthew:12:30 @Whoever is not with me is against me; and he who does not take part with me in getting people together, is driving them away.

bbe@Matthew:12:32 @And whoever says a word against the Son of man, will have forgiveness; but whoever says a word against the Holy Spirit, will not have forgiveness in this life or in that which is to come.

bbe@Matthew:12:34 @You offspring of snakes, how are you, being evil, able to say good things? because out of the heart's store come the words of the mouth.

bbe@Matthew:12:36 @And I say to you that in the day when they are judged, men will have to give an account of every foolish word they have said.

bbe@Matthew:12:38 @Then some of the scribes and Pharisees, hearing this, said to him, Master, we are looking for a sign from you.

bbe@Matthew:12:41 @The men of Nineveh will come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: because they were turned from their sins at the preaching of Jonah; and now a greater than Jonah is here.

bbe@Matthew:12:42 @The queen of the South will come up in the day of judging and give her decision against this generation: for she came from the ends of the earth to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon; and now a greater than Solomon is here.

bbe@Matthew:12:44 @Then he says, I will go back into my house from which I came out; and when he comes, he sees that there is no one in it, but that it has been made fair and clean.

bbe@Matthew:12:46 @While he was still talking to the people, his mother and his brothers came, desiring to have talk with him.

bbe@Matthew:13:2 @And great numbers of people came together to him, so that he got into a boat; and the people took up their position by the sea.

bbe@Matthew:13:4 @And while he did so, some seeds were dropped by the wayside, and the birds came and took them for food:

bbe@Matthew:13:5 @And some of the seed went among the stones, where it had not much earth, and straight away it came up because the earth was not deep:

bbe@Matthew:13:6 @And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root it became dry and dead.

bbe@Matthew:13:7 @And some seeds went among thorns, and the thorns came up and they had no room for growth:

bbe@Matthew:13:8 @And some, falling on good earth, gave fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, some thirty times as much.

bbe@Matthew:13:10 @And the disciples came and said to him, Why do you say things to them in the form of stories?

bbe@Matthew:13:14 @And for them the words of Isaiah have come true, Though you give ear, you will not get knowledge; and seeing, you will see, but the sense will not be clear to you:

bbe@Matthew:13:15 @For the heart of this people has become fat and their ears are slow in hearing and their eyes are shut; for fear that they might see with their eyes and give hearing with their ears and become wise in their hearts and be turned again to me, so that I might make them well

bbe@Matthew:13:17 @For truly, I say to you that prophets and upright men had a desire to see the things which you see, and saw them not; and to have knowledge of the words which have come to your ears, and they had it not.

bbe@Matthew:13:19 @When the word of the kingdom comes to anyone, and the sense of it is not clear to him, then the Evil One comes, and quickly takes away that which was put in his heart. He is the seed dropped by the wayside.

bbe@Matthew:13:21 @But having no root in himself, he goes on for a time; and when trouble comes or pain, because of the word, he quickly becomes full of doubts.

bbe@Matthew:13:23 @And the seed which was put in good earth, this is he who gives ear to the word, and gets the sense of it; who gives fruit, some a hundred, some sixty, some thirty times as much.

bbe@Matthew:13:25 @But while men were sleeping, one who had hate for him came and put evil seeds among the grain, and went away.

bbe@Matthew:13:26 @But when the green stem came up and gave fruit, the evil plants were seen at the same time.

bbe@Matthew:13:27 @And the servants of the master of the house came and said to him, Sir, did you not put good seed in your field? how then has it evil plants?

bbe@Matthew:13:28 @And he said, Someone has done this in hate. And the servants say to him, Is it your pleasure that we go and take them up?

bbe@Matthew:13:30 @Let them come up together till the getting in of the grain; and then I will say to the workers, Take up first the evil plants, and put them together for burning: but put the grain into my store-house.

bbe@Matthew:13:32 @Which is smaller than all seeds; but when it has come up it is greater than the plants, and becomes a tree, so that the birds of heaven come and make their resting-places in its branches.

bbe@Matthew:13:33 @Another story he gave to them: The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took, and put in three measures of meal, till it was all leavened.

bbe@Matthew:13:35 @That it might come true which was said by the prophet, Opening my mouth, I will give out stories; I will give knowledge of things kept secret from before all time.

bbe@Matthew:13:36 @Then he went away from the people, and went into the house; and his disciples came to him, saying, Make clear to us the story of the evil plants in the field.

bbe@Matthew:13:44 @The kingdom of heaven is like a secret store of wealth in a field, which a man came across and put back again; and in his joy he goes and gives all he has, to get that field.

bbe@Matthew:13:46 @And having come across one jewel of great price, he went and gave all he had in exchange for it.

bbe@Matthew:13:49 @So will it be in the end of the world: the angels will come and take out the bad from the good,

bbe@Matthew:13:52 @And he said to them, For this reason every scribe who has become a disciple of the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house, who gives out from his store things new and old.

bbe@Matthew:13:53 @And when Jesus had come to the end of these stories he went away from there.

bbe@Matthew:13:55 @Is not this the woodworker's son? is not his mother named Mary? and his brothers James and Joseph and Simon and Judas?

bbe@Matthew:14:1 @At that time news of Jesus came to Herod the king;

bbe@Matthew:14:2 @And he said to his servants, This is John the Baptist; he has come back from the dead, and so these powers are working in him.

bbe@Matthew:14:6 @But when Herod's birthday came, the daughter of Herodias was dancing before them, and Herod was pleased with her.

bbe@Matthew:14:8 @And she, at her mother's suggestion, said, Give me here on a plate the head of John the Baptist.

bbe@Matthew:14:12 @And his disciples came, and took up his body and put it in the earth; and they went and gave Jesus news of what had taken place.

bbe@Matthew:14:13 @Now when it came to the ears of Jesus, he went away from there in a boat, to a waste place by himself: and the people hearing of it, went after him on foot from the towns.

bbe@Matthew:14:14 @And he came out and saw a great number of people and he had pity on them, and made well those of them who were ill.

bbe@Matthew:14:15 @And when evening had come, the disciples came to him, saying, This place is waste land, and the time is now past; send the people away so that they may go into the towns and get themselves food.

bbe@Matthew:14:18 @And he said, Give them to me.

bbe@Matthew:14:21 @And those who had food were about five thousand men, in addition to women and children.

bbe@Matthew:14:23 @And after he had sent the people away, he went up into the mountain by himself for prayer: and when evening was come, he was there by himself.

bbe@Matthew:14:25 @And in the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea.

bbe@Matthew:14:28 @And Peter, answering, said to him, Lord, if it is you, give me the order to come to you on the water.

bbe@Matthew:14:29 @And he said, Come. And Peter got out of the boat, and walking on the water, went to Jesus.

bbe@Matthew:14:34 @And when they had gone across, they came to land at Gennesaret.

bbe@Matthew:14:35 @And when the men of that place had news of him, they sent into all the country round about, and took to him all who were ill,

bbe@Matthew:15:1 @Then there came to Jesus from Jerusalem Pharisees and scribes, saying,

bbe@Matthew:15:5 @But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is given to God;

bbe@Matthew:15:8 @These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

bbe@Matthew:15:9 @But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.

bbe@Matthew:15:11 @Not that which goes into the mouth makes a man unclean, but that which comes out of the mouth.

bbe@Matthew:15:12 @Then the disciples came and said to him, Did you see that the Pharisees were troubled when these words came to their ears?

bbe@Matthew:15:18 @But the things which come out of the mouth come from the heart; and they make a man unclean.

bbe@Matthew:15:19 @For out of the heart come evil thoughts, the taking of life, broken faith between the married, unclean desires of the flesh, taking of property, false witness, bitter words:

bbe@Matthew:15:22 @And a woman of Canaan came out from those parts, crying and saying, Have pity on me, O Lord, Son of David; my daughter is greatly troubled with an unclean spirit.

bbe@Matthew:15:23 @But he gave her no answer. And his disciples came and said to him, Send her away, for she is crying after us.

bbe@Matthew:15:25 @But she came and gave him worship, saying, Help, Lord.

bbe@Matthew:15:29 @And Jesus went from there and came to the sea of Galilee; and he went up into the mountain, and took his seat there.

bbe@Matthew:15:30 @And there came to him great numbers of people having with them those who were broken in body, or blind, or without voice, or wounded, or ill in any way, and a number of others; they put them down at his feet and he made them well:

bbe@Matthew:15:32 @And Jesus got his disciples together and said, I have pity for the people, because they have now been with me three days and have no food: and I will not send them away without food, or they will have no strength for the journey.

bbe@Matthew:15:34 @And Jesus says to them, How much bread have you? And they said, Seven cakes, and some small fishes.

bbe@Matthew:15:38 @And there were four thousand men who took food, together with women and children.

bbe@Matthew:15:39 @And when he had sent the people away, he got into the boat, and came into the country of Magadan.

bbe@Matthew:16:1 @And the Pharisees and Sadducees came and, testing him, made a request to him to give them a sign from heaven.

bbe@Matthew:16:3 @And in the morning, The weather will be bad today, for the sky is red and angry. You are able to see the face of heaven, but not the signs of the times.

bbe@Matthew:16:5 @And when the disciples came to the other side they had not taken thought to get bread.

bbe@Matthew:16:13 @Now when Jesus had come into the parts of Caesarea Philippi, he said, questioning his disciples, Who do men say that the Son of man is?

bbe@Matthew:16:14 @And they said, Some say, John the Baptist; some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.

bbe@Matthew:16:17 @And Jesus made answer and said to him, A blessing on you, Simon Bar-jonah: because this knowledge has not come to you from flesh and blood, but from my Father in heaven.

bbe@Matthew:16:18 @And I say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock will my church be based, and the doors of hell will not overcome it.

bbe@Matthew:16:21 @From that time Jesus went on to make clear to his disciples how he would have to go up to Jerusalem, and undergo much at the hands of those in authority and the chief priests and scribes, and be put to death, and the third day come again from the dead

bbe@Matthew:16:22 @And Peter, protesting, said to him, Be it far from you, Lord; it is impossible that this will come about.

bbe@Matthew:16:23 @But he, turning to Peter, said, Get out of my way, Satan: you are a danger to me because your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.

bbe@Matthew:16:24 @Then Jesus said to his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him give up all, and take up his cross, and come after me.

bbe@Matthew:16:25 @Because whoever has a desire to keep his life safe will have it taken from him; but whoever gives up his life because of me, will have it given back to him.

bbe@Matthew:16:27 @For the Son of man will come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he will give to every man the reward of his works.

bbe@Matthew:16:28 @Truly I say to you, There are some of those here who will not have a taste of death, till they see the Son of man coming in his kingdom.

bbe@Matthew:17:1 @And after six days Jesus takes with him Peter, and James, and John, his brother, and makes them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves.

bbe@Matthew:17:2 @And he was changed in form before them; and his face was shining like the sun, and his clothing became white as light.

bbe@Matthew:17:3 @And Moses and Elijah came before their eyes, talking with him.

bbe@Matthew:17:4 @And Peter made answer and said to Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if you will let me, I will make here three tents, one for you, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.

bbe@Matthew:17:5 @While he was still talking, a bright cloud came over them: and a voice out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased; give ear to him.

bbe@Matthew:17:7 @And Jesus came and put his hand on them and said, Get up and have no fear.

bbe@Matthew:17:9 @And when they were coming down from the mountain, Jesus gave them orders, saying, Let no man have word of what you have seen, till the Son of man has come again from the dead.

bbe@Matthew:17:10 @And his disciples, questioning him, said, Why then do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?

bbe@Matthew:17:11 @And in answer he said, Elijah truly has to come and put all things right:

bbe@Matthew:17:12 @But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they had no knowledge of him, but did to him whatever they were pleased to do; the same will the Son of man undergo at their hands.

bbe@Matthew:17:14 @And when they came to the people, a man went down on his knees to him, saying,

bbe@Matthew:17:15 @Lord have mercy on my son: for he is off his head, and is in great pain; and frequently he goes falling into the fire, and frequently into the water.

bbe@Matthew:17:17 @And Jesus, answering, said, O false and foolish generation, how long will I be with you? how long will I put up with you? let him come here to me.

bbe@Matthew:17:19 @Then the disciples came to Jesus privately, and said, Why were we not able to send it out?

bbe@Matthew:17:22 @And while they were going about in Galilee, Jesus said to them, The Son of man will be given up into the hands of men;

bbe@Matthew:17:23 @And they will put him to death, and the third day he will come again from the dead

bbe@Matthew:17:24 @And when they had come to Capernaum, those who took the Temple tax came to Peter and said, Does not your master make payment of the Temple tax?

bbe@Matthew:17:25 @He says, Yes. And when he came into the house, Jesus said to him, What is your opinion, Simon? from whom do the kings of the earth get payment or tax? from their sons or from other people?

bbe@Matthew:17:27 @But, so that we may not be a cause of trouble to them, go to the sea, and let down a hook, and take the first fish which comes up; and in his mouth you will see a bit of money: take that, and give it to them for me and you.

bbe@Matthew:18:1 @In that hour the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Who is greatest in the kingdom of heaven?

bbe@Matthew:18:3 @And said, Truly, I say to you, If you do not have a change of heart and become like little children, you will not go into the kingdom of heaven.

bbe@Matthew:18:4 @Whoever, then, will make himself as low as this little child, the same is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

bbe@Matthew:18:5 @And whoever gives honour to one such little child in my name, gives honour to me:

bbe@Matthew:18:6 @But whoever is a cause of trouble to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him to have a great stone fixed to his neck, and to come to his end in the deep sea.

bbe@Matthew:18:7 @A curse is on the earth because of trouble! for it is necessary for trouble to come; but unhappy is that man through whom the trouble comes.

bbe@Matthew:18:10 @Let it not seem to you that one of these little ones is of no value; for I say to you that in heaven their angels see at all times the face of my Father in heaven

bbe@Matthew:18:13 @And if he comes across it, truly I say to you, he has more joy over it than over the ninety-nine which have not gone out of the way.

bbe@Matthew:18:14 @Even so it is not the pleasure of your Father in heaven for one of these little ones to come to destruction.

bbe@Matthew:18:17 @And if he will not give ear to them, let it come to the hearing of the church: and if he will not give ear to the church, let him be to you as a Gentile and a tax-farmer.

bbe@Matthew:18:19 @Again, I say to you, that if two of you are in agreement on earth about anything for which they will make a request, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.

bbe@Matthew:18:20 @For where two or three are come together in my name, there am I among them.

bbe@Matthew:18:21 @Then Peter came and said to him, Lord, what number of times may my brother do wrong against me, and I give him forgiveness? till seven times?

bbe@Matthew:18:22 @Jesus says to him, I say not to you, Till seven times; but, Till seventy times seven.

bbe@Matthew:18:24 @And at the start, one came to him who was in his debt for ten thousand talents.

bbe@Matthew:18:25 @And because he was not able to make payment, his lord gave orders for him, and his wife, and his sons and daughters, and all he had, to be given for money, and payment to be made.

bbe@Matthew:18:26 @So the servant went down on his face and gave him worship, saying, Lord, give me time to make payment and I will give you all.

bbe@Matthew:18:28 @But that servant went out, and meeting one of the other servants, who was in debt to him for one hundred pence, he took him by the throat, saying, Make payment of your debt.

bbe@Matthew:18:29 @So that servant went down on his face, requesting him and saying, Give me time and I will make payment to you.

bbe@Matthew:18:30 @And he would not: but went and put him into prison till he had made payment of the debt.

bbe@Matthew:18:31 @So when the other servants saw what was done they were very sad, and came and gave word to their lord of what had been done.

bbe@Matthew:18:32 @Then his lord sent for him and said, You evil servant; I made you free of all that debt, because of your request to me:

bbe@Matthew:18:33 @Was it not right for you to have mercy on the other servant, even as I had mercy on you?

bbe@Matthew:18:34 @And his lord was very angry, and put him in the hands of those who would give him punishment till he made payment of all the debt.

bbe@Matthew:19:1 @And it came about that after saying these words, Jesus went away from Galilee, and came into the parts of Judaea on the other side of Jordan.

bbe@Matthew:19:3 @And certain Pharisees came to him, testing him, and saying, Is it right for a man to put away his wife for every cause?

bbe@Matthew:19:5 @For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother, and be joined to his wife; and the two will become one flesh?

bbe@Matthew:19:7 @They say to him, Why then did Moses give orders that a husband might give her a statement in writing and be free from her?

bbe@Matthew:19:11 @But he said to them, Not all men are able to take in this saying, but only those to whom it is given.

bbe@Matthew:19:12 @For there are men who, from birth, were without sex: and there are some who were made so by men: and there are others who have made themselves so for the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to take it, let him take it.

bbe@Matthew:19:13 @Then some people took little children to him, so that he might put his hands on them in blessing: and the disciples said sharp words to them.

bbe@Matthew:19:14 @But Jesus said, Let the little ones come to me, and do not keep them away: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

bbe@Matthew:19:16 @And one came to him and said, Master, what good thing have I to do, so that I may have eternal life?

bbe@Matthew:19:17 @And he said to him, Why are you questioning me about what is good? One there is who is good: but if you have a desire to go into life, keep the rules of the law.

bbe@Matthew:19:21 @Jesus said to him, If you have a desire to be complete, go, get money for your property, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come after me.

bbe@Matthew:19:24 @And again I say to you, It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man with much money to go into the kingdom of God.

bbe@Matthew:19:26 @And Jesus, looking at them, said, With men this is not possible; but with God all things are possible.

bbe@Matthew:19:27 @Then Peter said to him, See, we have given up everything and have come after you; what then will we have?

bbe@Matthew:19:28 @And Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you that in the time when all things are made new, and the Son of man is seated in his glory, you who have come after me will be seated on twelve seats, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.

bbe@Matthew:19:29 @And everyone who has given up houses, or brothers, or sisters, or father, or mother, or child, or land, for my name, will be given a hundred times as much, and have eternal life.

bbe@Matthew:19:30 @But a great number who are first will be last, and some who are last will be first.

bbe@Matthew:20:2 @And when he had made an agreement with the workmen for a penny a day, he sent them into his vine-garden.

bbe@Matthew:20:5 @Again he went out about the sixth and the ninth hour, and did the same.

bbe@Matthew:20:8 @And when evening came, the lord of the vine-garden said to his manager, Let the workers come, and give them their payment, from the last to the first.

bbe@Matthew:20:9 @And when those men came who had gone to work at the eleventh hour, they were given every man a penny.

bbe@Matthew:20:10 @Then those who came first had the idea that they would get more; and they, like the rest, were given a penny.

bbe@Matthew:20:13 @But he in answer said to one of them, Friend, I do you no wrong: did you not make an agreement with me for a penny?

bbe@Matthew:20:15 @Have I not the right to do as seems good to me in my house? or is your eye evil, because I am good?

bbe@Matthew:20:19 @And will give him up to the Gentiles to be made sport of and to be whipped and to be put to death on the cross: and the third day he will come back again from the dead.

bbe@Matthew:20:20 @Then the mother of the sons of Zebedee came to him with her sons, giving him worship and making a request of him.

bbe@Matthew:20:23 @They say to him, We are able. He says to them, Truly, you will take of my cup: but to be seated at my right hand and at my left is not for me to give, but it is for those for whom my Father has made it ready.

bbe@Matthew:20:24 @And when it came to the ears of the ten, they were angry with the two brothers.

bbe@Matthew:20:26 @Let it not be so among you: but if anyone has a desire to become great among you, let him be your servant;

bbe@Matthew:20:28 @Even as the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.

bbe@Matthew:20:30 @And two blind men seated by the wayside, when they had the news that Jesus was going by, gave a loud cry, saying, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

bbe@Matthew:20:31 @And the people gave them orders to be quiet; but they went on crying even louder, Lord, Son of David, have mercy on us.

bbe@Matthew:20:32 @And Jesus, stopping, sent for them, and said, What would you have me do to you?

bbe@Matthew:21:1 @And when they were near Jerusalem, and had come to Beth-phage, to the Mountain of Olives, Jesus sent two disciples,

bbe@Matthew:21:2 @Saying to them, Go into the little town in front of you, and straight away you will see an ass with a cord round her neck, and a young one with her; let them loose and come with them to me.

bbe@Matthew:21:4 @Now this took place so that these words of the prophet might come true,

bbe@Matthew:21:5 @Say to the daughter of Zion, See, your King comes to you, gentle and seated on an ass, and on a young ass.

bbe@Matthew:21:9 @And those who went before him, and those who came after, gave loud cries, saying, Glory to the Son of David: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord: Glory in the highest.

bbe@Matthew:21:10 @And when he came into Jerusalem, all the town was moved, saying, Who is this?

bbe@Matthew:21:13 @And he said to them, It is in the Writings, My house is to be named a house of prayer, but you are making it a hole of thieves.

bbe@Matthew:21:14 @And the blind and the broken in body came to him in the Temple, and he made them well

bbe@Matthew:21:19 @And seeing a fig-tree by the wayside, he came to it, and saw nothing on it but leaves only; and he said to it, Let there be no fruit from you from this time forward for ever. And straight away the fig-tree became dry and dead.

bbe@Matthew:21:20 @And when the disciples saw it they were surprised, saying, How did the fig-tree become dry in so short a time?

bbe@Matthew:21:23 @And when he had come into the Temple, the chief priests and those in authority over the people came to him while he was teaching, and said, By what authority do you do these things? and who gave you this authority?

bbe@Matthew:21:24 @And Jesus said to them in answer, I will put one question to you, and if you give me the answer, I will say by what authority I do these things.

bbe@Matthew:21:25 @The baptism of John, where did it come from? from heaven or from men? And they were reasoning among themselves, saying, If we say, From heaven; he will say to us, Why then did you not have faith in him?

bbe@Matthew:21:26 @But if we say, From men; we are in fear of the people, because all take John to be a prophet.

bbe@Matthew:21:28 @But how does it seem to you? A man had two sons; and he came to the first, and said, Son, go and do work today in the vine-garden.

bbe@Matthew:21:30 @And he came to the second and said the same. And he made answer and said, I go, sir: and went not.

bbe@Matthew:21:31 @Which of the two did his father's pleasure? They say, The first. Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, that tax-farmers and loose women are going into the kingdom of God before you.

bbe@Matthew:21:32 @For John came to you in the way of righteousness, and you had no faith in him, but the tax-farmers and the loose women had faith in him: and you, when you saw it, did not even have regret for your sins, so as to have faith in him.

bbe@Matthew:21:34 @And when the time for the fruit came near, he sent his servants to the workmen, to get the fruit.

bbe@Matthew:21:35 @And the workmen made an attack on his servants, giving blows to one, putting another to death, and stoning another.

bbe@Matthew:21:36 @Again, he sent other servants more in number than the first: and they did the same to them.

bbe@Matthew:21:38 @But when the workmen saw the son, they said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death and take his heritage.

bbe@Matthew:21:40 @When, then, the lord of the vine-garden comes, what will he do to those workmen?

bbe@Matthew:21:41 @They say to him, He will put those cruel men to a cruel death, and will let out the vine-garden to other workmen, who will give him the fruit when it is ready.

bbe@Matthew:21:42 @Jesus says to them, Did you never see in the Writings, The stone which the builders put on one side, the same has been made the chief stone of the building: this was the Lord's doing, and it is a wonder in our eyes?

bbe@Matthew:21:44 @Any man falling on this stone will be broken, but he on whom it comes down will be crushed to dust.

bbe@Matthew:21:45 @And when his stories came to the ears of the chief priests and the Pharisees, they saw that he was talking of them.

bbe@Matthew:22:3 @And sent out his servants to get in the guests to the feast: and they would not come.

bbe@Matthew:22:4 @Again he sent out other servants, with orders to say to the guests, See, I have made ready my feast: my oxen and my fat beasts have been put to death, and all things are ready: come to the feast.

bbe@Matthew:22:9 @Go then to the cross-roads, and get all those whom you see to come to the bride-feast.

bbe@Matthew:22:10 @And those servants went out into the streets, and got together all those whom they came across, bad and good: and the feast was full of guests.

bbe@Matthew:22:11 @But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a guest's robe;

bbe@Matthew:22:12 @And he says to him, Friend, how came you in here not having a guest's robe? And he had nothing to say.

bbe@Matthew:22:14 @For out of all to whom the good news has come, only a small number will get salvation.

bbe@Matthew:22:15 @Then the Pharisees went and had a meeting to see how they might make use of his words to take him.

bbe@Matthew:22:18 @But Jesus saw their trick and said, Oh false ones, why are you attempting to put me in the wrong?

bbe@Matthew:22:19 @Let me see the tax money. And they gave him a penny.

bbe@Matthew:22:20 @And he said to them, Whose is this image and name on it?

bbe@Matthew:22:23 @On the same day there came to him the Sadducees, who say that there is no coming back from the dead: and they put a question to him, saying,

bbe@Matthew:22:24 @Master, Moses said, If a man, at the time of his death, has no children, let his brother take his wife, and get a family for his brother;

bbe@Matthew:22:26 @In the same way the second and the third, up to the seventh.

bbe@Matthew:22:27 @And last of all the woman came to her end.

bbe@Matthew:22:28 @When they come back from the dead, then, whose wife will she be of the seven? because they all had her.

bbe@Matthew:22:30 @For when they come back from the dead there are no husbands and wives, but they are as the angels in heaven.

bbe@Matthew:22:34 @But the Pharisees, hearing how the mouths of the Sadducees had been stopped, came together;

bbe@Matthew:22:43 @He says to them, How then does David in the Spirit give him the name of Lord, saying,

bbe@Matthew:22:45 @If David then gives him the name of Lord, how is he his son?

bbe@Matthew:23:4 @They make hard laws and put great weights on men's backs; but they themselves will not put a finger to them.

bbe@Matthew:23:5 @But all their works they do so as to be seen by men: for they make wide their phylacteries, and the edges of their robes,

bbe@Matthew:23:7 @And words of respect in the market-places, and to be named by men, Teacher.

bbe@Matthew:23:8 @But you may not be named Teacher: for one is your teacher, and you are all brothers.

bbe@Matthew:23:9 @And give no man the name of father on earth: because one is your Father, who is in heaven.

bbe@Matthew:23:10 @And you may not be named guides: because one is your Guide, even Christ.

bbe@Matthew:23:13 @But a curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you are shutting the kingdom of heaven against men: for you do not go in yourselves, and those who are going in, you keep back.

bbe@Matthew:23:23 @A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you make men give a tenth of all sorts of sweet-smelling plants, but you give no thought to the more important things of the law, righteousness, and mercy, and faith; but it is right for you to do these, and not to let the others be undone.

bbe@Matthew:23:24 @You blind guides, who take out a fly from your drink, but make no trouble over a camel.

bbe@Matthew:23:26 @You blind Pharisee, first make clean the inside of the cup and of the plate, so that the outside may become equally clean.

bbe@Matthew:23:27 @A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! for you are like the resting-places of the dead, which are made white, and seem beautiful on the outside, but inside are full of dead men's bones and of all unclean things.

bbe@Matthew:23:28 @Even so you seem to men to be full of righteousness, but inside you are all false and full of wrongdoing.

bbe@Matthew:23:29 @A curse is on you, scribes and Pharisees, false ones! because you put up buildings for housing the dead bodies of the prophets, and make fair the last resting-places of good men, and say,

bbe@Matthew:23:32 @Make full, then, the measure of your fathers.

bbe@Matthew:23:33 @You snakes, offspring of snakes, how will you be kept from the punishment of hell?

bbe@Matthew:23:34 @For this reason, I send you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: some of them you will put to death and put on the cross, and to some of them you will give blows in your Synagogues, driving them from town to town;

bbe@Matthew:23:35 @So that on you may come all the blood of the upright on the earth, from the blood of upright Abel to the blood of Zachariah, son of Barachiah, whom you put to death between the Temple and the altar.

bbe@Matthew:23:36 @Truly I say to you, All these things will come on this generation.

bbe@Matthew:23:39 @For I say to you, You will not see me from this time till you say, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord.

bbe@Matthew:24:1 @And Jesus went out of the Temple, and on the way his disciples came to him, pointing out the buildings of the Temple.

bbe@Matthew:24:3 @And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, Make clear to us, when will these things be? and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the world?

bbe@Matthew:24:5 @For people will come in my name, saying, I am the Christ; and a number will be turned from the true way through them.

bbe@Matthew:24:6 @And news will come to you of wars and talk of wars: do not be troubled, for these things have to be; but it is still not the end.

bbe@Matthew:24:7 @For nation will be moved against nation, and kingdom against kingdom, and men will be without food, and the earth will be shaking in different places;

bbe@Matthew:24:9 @Then they will be cruel to you, and will put you to death: and you will be hated by all nations because of my name.

bbe@Matthew:24:11 @And a number of false prophets will come, causing error.

bbe@Matthew:24:12 @And because wrongdoing will be increased, the love of most people will become cold.

bbe@Matthew:24:14 @And this good news of the kingdom will be given through all the world for a witness to all nations; and then the end will come.

bbe@Matthew:24:19 @But it will be hard for women who are with child and for those with babies at the breast in those days.

bbe@Matthew:24:24 @For there will come up false Christs, and false prophets, who will do great signs and wonders; so that if possible even the saints might be tricked.

bbe@Matthew:24:25 @See, I have made it clear to you before it comes about.

bbe@Matthew:24:28 @Wherever the dead body is, there will the eagles come together.

bbe@Matthew:24:29 @But straight away, after the trouble of those days, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light and the stars will come down from heaven and the powers of heaven will be moved:

bbe@Matthew:24:32 @Now take an example from the fig-tree: when her branch has become soft and puts out its leaves, you are certain that the summer is near;

bbe@Matthew:24:34 @Truly I say to you, This generation will not come to an end till all these things are complete.

bbe@Matthew:24:35 @Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.

bbe@Matthew:24:39 @And they had no care till the waters came and took them all away; so will be the coming of the Son of man.

bbe@Matthew:24:40 @Then two men will be in the field; one is taken, and one let go;

bbe@Matthew:24:41 @Two women will be crushing grain; one is taken, and one let go.

bbe@Matthew:24:42 @Be watching, then! for you have no knowledge on what day your Lord will come.

bbe@Matthew:24:43 @But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.

bbe@Matthew:24:44 @Be ready then; for at a time which you have no thought of the Son of man will come.

bbe@Matthew:24:45 @Who is the true and wise servant, whom his lord has put over those in his house, to give them their food at the right time?

bbe@Matthew:24:46 @A blessing on that servant, who will be doing so when his lord comes.

bbe@Matthew:24:48 @But if that evil servant says in his heart, My lord is a long time in coming;

bbe@Matthew:24:49 @And is cruel to the other servants, taking his pleasure with those who are overcome with wine;

bbe@Matthew:24:50 @The lord of that servant will come in a day when he is not looking for him, and in an hour of which he has no knowledge,

bbe@Matthew:25:1 @Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins, the friends of the bride, who took their lights, and went out with the purpose of meeting the husband.

bbe@Matthew:25:5 @Now the husband was a long time in coming, and they all went to sleep.

bbe@Matthew:25:6 @But in the middle of the night there is a cry, The husband comes! Go out to him.

bbe@Matthew:25:10 @And while they went to get oil, the master came; and those who were ready went in with him to the feast: and the door was shut.

bbe@Matthew:25:11 @After that the other virgins came, saying, Lord, Lord, let us in.

bbe@Matthew:25:17 @In the same way he who had been given the two got two more.

bbe@Matthew:25:19 @Now after a long time the lord of those servants comes, and makes up his account with them.

bbe@Matthew:25:20 @And he who had the five talents came with his other five talents, saying, Lord, you gave into my care five talents: see, I have got five more.

bbe@Matthew:25:22 @And he who had the two talents came and said, Lord, you gave into my care two talents: see, I have got two more.

bbe@Matthew:25:24 @And he who had had the one talent came and said, Lord, I had knowledge that you are a hard man, getting in grain where you have not put seed, and making profits for which you have done no work:

bbe@Matthew:25:31 @But when the Son of man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then will he be seated in his glory:

bbe@Matthew:25:32 @And before him all the nations will come together; and they will be parted one from another, as the sheep are parted from the goats by the keeper.

bbe@Matthew:25:34 @Then will the King say to those on his right, Come, you who have the blessing of my Father, into the kingdom made ready for you before the world was:

bbe@Matthew:25:35 @For I was in need of food, and you gave it to me: I was in need of drink, and you gave it to me: I was wandering, and you took me in;

bbe@Matthew:25:36 @I had no clothing, and you gave it to me: when I was ill, or in prison, you came to me.

bbe@Matthew:25:39 @And when did we see you ill, or in prison, and come to you?

bbe@Matthew:25:40 @And the King will make answer and say to them, Truly I say to you, Because you did it to the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.

bbe@Matthew:25:41 @Then will he say to those on the left, Go from me, you cursed ones, into the eternal fire which is ready for the Evil One and his angels:

bbe@Matthew:25:42 @For I was in need of food, and you gave it not to me; I was in need of drink, and you gave it not to me:

bbe@Matthew:25:43 @I was wandering, and you took me not in; without clothing, and you gave me no clothing; ill, and in prison, and you came not to me.

bbe@Matthew:25:45 @Then will he make answer to them, saying, Truly I say to you, Because you did it not to the least of these, you did it not to me.

bbe@Matthew:25:46 @And these will go away into eternal punishment; but the upright into eternal life.

bbe@Matthew:26:1 @And when Jesus had come to the end of all these words, he said to his disciples,

bbe@Matthew:26:3 @Then the chief priests and the rulers of the people came together in the house of the high priest, who was named Caiaphas.

bbe@Matthew:26:4 @And they made designs together to take Jesus by some trick, and put him to death.

bbe@Matthew:26:7 @There came to him a woman having a bottle of perfume of great price, and she put the perfume on his head when he was seated at table.

bbe@Matthew:26:10 @But Jesus, seeing it, said to them, Why are you troubling the woman? she has done a kind act to me.

bbe@Matthew:26:11 @For the poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever

bbe@Matthew:26:12 @For in putting this perfume on my body, she did it to make me ready for my last resting-place.

bbe@Matthew:26:13 @Truly I say to you, Wherever this good news goes out in all the world, what this woman has done will be talked of in memory of her.

bbe@Matthew:26:14 @Then one of the twelve, who was named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests and said,

bbe@Matthew:26:15 @What will you give me, if I give him up to you? And the price was fixed at thirty bits of silver.

bbe@Matthew:26:16 @And from that time he was watching for a chance to give him into their hands.

bbe@Matthew:26:17 @Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where are we to make ready for you to take the Passover meal?

bbe@Matthew:26:18 @And he said to them, Go into the town to such a man, and say to him, The Master says, My time is near: I will keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.

bbe@Matthew:26:20 @Now when evening was come, he was seated at table with the twelve disciples;

bbe@Matthew:26:21 @And while they were taking food, he said, Truly I say to you that one of you will be false to me.

bbe@Matthew:26:23 @And he made answer and said, He who puts his hand into the plate with me, the same will be false to me.

bbe@Matthew:26:24 @The Son of man goes, even as the Writings say of him: but a curse is on that man through whom the Son of man is given up; it would have been well for that man if he had never come into the world.

bbe@Matthew:26:28 @Take of it, all of you, for this is my blood of the testament, which is given for men for the forgiveness of sins.

bbe@Matthew:26:31 @Then said Jesus to them, All of you will be turned away from me this night: for it is said in the Writings, I will put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep of the flock will be put to flight.

bbe@Matthew:26:32 @But after I am come back from the dead, I will go before you into Galilee.

bbe@Matthew:26:34 @Jesus said to him, Truly I say to you that this night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

bbe@Matthew:26:36 @Then comes Jesus with them to a place named Gethsemane, and says to his disciples, Be seated here, while I go over there for prayer.

bbe@Matthew:26:37 @And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and became sad and very troubled.

bbe@Matthew:26:38 @Then says he to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: keep watch with me here.

bbe@Matthew:26:39 @And he went forward a little, and falling down on his face in prayer, he said, O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup go from me; but let not my pleasure, but yours be done.

bbe@Matthew:26:40 @And he comes to the disciples, and sees that they are sleeping, and says to Peter, What, were you not able to keep watch with me one hour?

bbe@Matthew:26:42 @Again, a second time he went away, and said in prayer, O my Father, if this may not go from me without my taking it, let your pleasure be done.

bbe@Matthew:26:43 @And he came again and saw them sleeping, for their eyes were tired.

bbe@Matthew:26:44 @And he went away from them again, and a third time said the same prayer.

bbe@Matthew:26:45 @Then he comes to the disciples; and says to them, Go on sleeping now, and take your rest: for the hour is come, and the Son of man is given into the hands of evil men.

bbe@Matthew:26:46 @Up, let us be going: see, he who gives me up is near.

bbe@Matthew:26:47 @And while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a band armed with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and those in authority over the people.

bbe@Matthew:26:49 @And straight away he came to Jesus and said, Master! and gave him a kiss.

bbe@Matthew:26:50 @And Jesus said to him, Friend, do that for which you have come. Then they came and put hands on Jesus, and took him.

bbe@Matthew:26:52 @Then says Jesus to him, Put up your sword again into its place: for all those who take the sword will come to death by the sword.

bbe@Matthew:26:53 @Does it not seem possible to you that if I make request to my Father he will even now send me an army of angels?

bbe@Matthew:26:54 @But how then would the Writings come true, which say that so it has to be?

bbe@Matthew:26:55 @In that hour Jesus said to the people, Have you come out as against a thief with swords and sticks to take me? I was teaching every day in the Temple and you took me not.

bbe@Matthew:26:56 @But all this has taken place so that the writings of the prophets might come true. Then all his disciples went from him in flight.

bbe@Matthew:26:57 @And those who had made Jesus prisoner took him away to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and those in authority over the people had come together.

bbe@Matthew:26:60 @And they were not able to get it, though a number of false witnesses came.

bbe@Matthew:26:61 @But later there came two who said, This man said, I am able to give the Temple of God to destruction, and to put it up again in three days.

bbe@Matthew:26:65 @Then the high priest, violently parting his robes, said, He has said evil against God: what more need have we of witnesses? for now his words against God have come to your ears:

bbe@Matthew:26:67 @Then they put shame on him, and were cruel to him: and some gave him blows, saying,

bbe@Matthew:26:69 @Now Peter was seated in the open square outside the house: and a servant-girl came to him, saying, You were with Jesus the Galilaean.

bbe@Matthew:26:73 @And after a little time those who were near came and said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; because your talk is witness against you.

bbe@Matthew:26:74 @Then with curses and oaths he said, I have no knowledge of the man. And straight away there came the cry of a cock.

bbe@Matthew:26:75 @And the word of Jesus came back to Peter, when he said, Before the hour of the cock's cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And he went out, weeping bitterly.

bbe@Matthew:27:8 @For this cause that field was named, The field of blood, to this day.

bbe@Matthew:27:9 @Then came true that which was said by Jeremiah the prophet, And they took the thirty bits of silver, the price of him who was valued by the children of Israel;

bbe@Matthew:27:12 @But when the chief priests and those in authority made statements against him, he gave no answer.

bbe@Matthew:27:16 @And they had then an important prisoner, whose name was Barabbas.

bbe@Matthew:27:17 @So when they came together, Pilate said to them, Whom will you have? Barabbas, or Jesus, who is named Christ?

bbe@Matthew:27:22 @Pilate says to them, What, then, am I to do with Jesus, who is named Christ? They all say, Let him be put to death on the cross.

bbe@Matthew:27:27 @Then the ruler's armed men took Jesus into the open square, and got all their band together.

bbe@Matthew:27:30 @And they put shame on him, and gave him blows on the head with the rod.

bbe@Matthew:27:32 @And while they were coming out, they saw a man of Cyrene, Simon by name, and they made him go with them, so that he might take up his cross.

bbe@Matthew:27:33 @And when they came to the place named Golgotha, that is to say, Dead Man's Head,

bbe@Matthew:27:37 @And they put up over his head the statement of his crime in writing, THIS IS JESUS THE KING OF THE JEWS.

bbe@Matthew:27:40 @You who would give the Temple to destruction and put it up again in three days, get yourself free: if you are the Son of God, come down from the cross.

bbe@Matthew:27:41 @In the same way, the chief priests, making sport of him, with the scribes and those in authority, said,

bbe@Matthew:27:42 @A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself. If he is the King of Israel, let him now come down from the cross, and we will have faith in him.

bbe@Matthew:27:46 @And about the ninth hour Jesus gave a loud cry, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is, My God, my God, why are you turned away from me?

bbe@Matthew:27:47 @And some of those who were near by, hearing it, said, This man is crying to Elijah.

bbe@Matthew:27:49 @And the rest said, Let him be; let us see if Elijah will come to his help.

bbe@Matthew:27:52 @And the resting-places of the dead came open; and the bodies of a number of sleeping saints came to life;

bbe@Matthew:27:53 @And coming out of their resting-places, after he had come again from the dead, they went into the holy town and were seen by a number of people.

bbe@Matthew:27:55 @And a number of women were there, watching from a distance, who had come with Jesus from Galilee, waiting on his needs.

bbe@Matthew:27:56 @Among whom was Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James and Joses, and the mother of the sons of Zebedee.

bbe@Matthew:27:57 @And in the evening, there came a man of wealth from Arimathaea, Joseph by name, who was a disciple of Jesus:

bbe@Matthew:27:62 @Now on the day after the getting ready of the Passover, the chief priests and Pharisees came together to Pilate,

bbe@Matthew:27:63 @Saying, Sir, we have in mind how that false man said, while he was still living, After three days I will come again from the dead.

bbe@Matthew:27:64 @Give orders, then, that the place where his body is may be made safe till the third day, for fear that his disciples come and take him away secretly and say to the people, He has come back from the dead: and the last error will be worse than the first.

bbe@Matthew:27:65 @Pilate said to them, You have watchmen; go and make it as safe as you are able.

bbe@Matthew:27:66 @So they went, and made safe the place where his body was, putting a stamp on the stone, and the watchmen were with them.

bbe@Matthew:28:1 @Now late on the Sabbath, when the dawn of the first day of the week was near, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the place where his body was.

bbe@Matthew:28:2 @And there was a great earth-shock; for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and, rolling back the stone, took his seat on it.

bbe@Matthew:28:4 @And for fear of him the watchmen were shaking, and became as dead men.

bbe@Matthew:28:5 @And the angel said to the women, Have no fear: for I see that you are searching for Jesus, who was put to death on the cross.

bbe@Matthew:28:6 @He is not here, for he has come to life again, even as he said. Come, see the Lord's resting-place.

bbe@Matthew:28:7 @And go quickly and give his disciples the news that he has come back from the dead, and is going before you into Galilee; there you will see him, as I have said to you.

bbe@Matthew:28:9 @And on the way, Jesus came to them, saying, Be glad. And they came and put their hands on his feet, and gave him worship.

bbe@Matthew:28:10 @Then said Jesus to them, Have no fear: go and give word to my brothers to go into Galilee, and there they will see me.

bbe@Matthew:28:11 @Now, while they were going, some of the watchmen came into the town and gave news to the chief priests of all the things which had taken place.

bbe@Matthew:28:12 @And when they had come together with those in authority, and had made their decision, they gave much money to the watchmen, saying,

bbe@Matthew:28:13 @Say, His disciples came by night and took him away secretly while we were sleeping.

bbe@Matthew:28:14 @And if this comes to the ruler's ears, we will see that he does not make you responsible.

bbe@Matthew:28:15 @So they took the money, and did as they had been ordered: and this account has been current among the Jews till the present time

bbe@Matthew:28:17 @And when they saw him they gave him worship: but some were in doubt.

bbe@Matthew:28:18 @And Jesus came to them and said, All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

bbe@Matthew:28:19 @Go then, and make disciples of all the nations, giving them baptism in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit:

bbe@Mark:1:4 @John came, and gave baptism in the waste land, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.

bbe@Mark:1:6 @And John was clothed in camel's hair, with a leather band about him; and his food was locusts and honey.

bbe@Mark:1:7 @And he said to them all, There is one coming after me who is greater than I, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo.

bbe@Mark:1:9 @And it came about in those days, that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was given baptism by John in the Jordan.

bbe@Mark:1:11 @And a voice came out of heaven, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

bbe@Mark:1:14 @Now after John had been put in prison, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the good news of God,

bbe@Mark:1:15 @And saying, The time has come, and the kingdom of God is near: let your hearts be turned from sin and have faith in the good news.

bbe@Mark:1:16 @And going by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew, the brother of Simon, putting a net into the sea: for they were fishermen.

bbe@Mark:1:17 @And Jesus said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

bbe@Mark:1:18 @And they went straight from their nets, and came after him.

bbe@Mark:1:19 @And going on a little farther, he saw James, the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, who were in their boat stitching up their nets.

bbe@Mark:1:20 @And he said, Come after me: and they went away from their father Zebedee, who was in the boat with the servants, and came after him.

bbe@Mark:1:21 @And they came to Capernaum; and on the Sabbath he went into the Synagogue and gave teaching.

bbe@Mark:1:24 @Saying, What have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I see well who you are, the Holy One of God.

bbe@Mark:1:25 @And Jesus said to him sharply, Be quiet, and come out of him.

bbe@Mark:1:26 @And the unclean spirit, shaking him violently, and crying with a loud voice, came out of him.

bbe@Mark:1:29 @And when they came out of the Synagogue, they went into the house of Simon and Andrew, with James and John.

bbe@Mark:1:31 @And he came and took her by the hand, lifting her up; and she became well, and took care of their needs.

bbe@Mark:1:33 @And all the town had come together at the door.

bbe@Mark:1:35 @And in the morning, a long time before daylight, he got up and went out to a quiet place, and there he gave himself up to prayer.

bbe@Mark:1:36 @And Simon and those who were with him came after him.

bbe@Mark:1:37 @And when they came up with him, they said to him, Everyone is looking for you.

bbe@Mark:1:38 @And he said to them, Let us go to other parts into the nearest towns, so that I may give teaching there, because for this purpose I came.

bbe@Mark:1:40 @And a leper came to him and, going down on his knees before him, made a request, saying, If it is your pleasure, you have the power to make me clean.

bbe@Mark:1:45 @But he went out, and made it public, giving an account of it everywhere, so that Jesus was no longer able to go openly into a town, but was outside in the waste land; and they came to him from every part.

bbe@Mark:2:1 @And when he came into Capernaum again after some days, the news went about that he was in the house.

bbe@Mark:2:2 @And a great number had come together, so that there was no longer room for them, no, not even about the door: and he gave them teaching.

bbe@Mark:2:3 @And four men came to him with one on a bed who had no power of moving.

bbe@Mark:2:7 @Why does this man say such things? he has no respect for God: from whom does forgiveness come but from God only?

bbe@Mark:2:13 @And he went out again by the seaside; and all the people came to him, and he gave them teaching.

bbe@Mark:2:14 @And when he went by, he saw Levi, the son of Alphaeus, seated at the place where taxes were taken, and he said to him, Come with me. And he got up, and went with him.

bbe@Mark:2:15 @And it came about that he was seated at meat in his house, and a number of tax-farmers and sinners were at table with Jesus and his disciples: for there were a great number of them, and they came after him.

bbe@Mark:2:16 @And the scribes of the Pharisees, when they saw that he was taking food with the tax-farmers and sinners, said to his disciples, Why does he take food and drink with such men?

bbe@Mark:2:17 @And Jesus, hearing it, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill: I have come not to get the upright but sinners.

bbe@Mark:2:18 @And John's disciples and the Pharisees were taking no food: and they came and said to him, Why do John's disciples and the disciples of the Pharisees go without food, but your disciples do not?

bbe@Mark:2:20 @But the days will come when the husband will be taken away from them, and then they will go without food.

bbe@Mark:2:23 @And it came about that on the Sabbath day he was going through the grain-fields; and while they were walking, his disciples took the heads of grain.

bbe@Mark:3:2 @And they were watching him to see if he would make him well on the Sabbath day, so that they might have something against him.

bbe@Mark:3:3 @And he said to the man, Get up and come forward.

bbe@Mark:3:7 @And Jesus went away with his disciples to the sea, and a great number from Galilee came after him: and from Judaea,

bbe@Mark:3:8 @And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and the other side of Jordan, and the country about Tyre and Sidon, a great number, hearing what great things he did, came to him.

bbe@Mark:3:16 @To Simon he gave the second name of Peter;

bbe@Mark:3:17 @And to James, the son of Zebedee, and John, the brother of James, he gave the second name of Boanerges, which is, Sons of thunder:

bbe@Mark:3:18 @And Andrew, and Philip, and Bartholomew, and Matthew, and Thomas, and James, the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus, and Simon the Zealot;

bbe@Mark:3:20 @And he went into a house. And the people came together again, so that they were not even able to take bread.

bbe@Mark:3:22 @And the scribes who came down from Jerusalem, said, He has Beelzebub, and, By the ruler of evil spirits he sends evil spirits out of men.

bbe@Mark:3:24 @If there is division in a kingdom, that kingdom will come to destruction;

bbe@Mark:3:25 @And if there is division in a house, that house will come to destruction;

bbe@Mark:3:26 @And if Satan is at war with himself, and there is division in him, he will not keep his place but will come to an end.

bbe@Mark:3:28 @Truly, I say to you, The sons of men will have forgiveness for all their sins and for all the evil words they say:

bbe@Mark:3:31 @And his mother and brothers came and were outside, and sent for him, requesting to see him.

bbe@Mark:3:35 @Whoever does God's pleasure, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.

bbe@Mark:4:1 @And again he was teaching by the seaside. And a very great number of people had come to him, so that he got into a boat on the sea and took his seat; and all the people were on the land by the seaside.

bbe@Mark:4:4 @And while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside, and the birds came and took it for food.

bbe@Mark:4:5 @And some went on the stones, where it had not much earth; and it came up straight away, because the earth was not deep:

bbe@Mark:4:6 @And when the sun was high, it was burned; and because it had no root, it became dry and dead.

bbe@Mark:4:7 @And some went among the thorns, and the thorns came up, and it had no room for growth and gave no fruit.

bbe@Mark:4:8 @And some, falling on good earth, gave fruit, coming up and increasing, and giving thirty, sixty, and a hundred times as much.

bbe@Mark:4:12 @So that seeing they may see, and it will not be clear to them; and hearing it, they will not get the sense; for fear that they may be turned again to me and have forgiveness.

bbe@Mark:4:15 @And these are they by the wayside, where the word is planted; and when they have given ear, the Evil One comes straight away and takes away the word which has been planted in them.

bbe@Mark:4:16 @And in the same way, these are they who are planted on the stones, who, when the word has come to their ears, straight away take it with joy;

bbe@Mark:4:17 @And they have no root in themselves, but go on for a time; then, when trouble comes or pain, because of the word, they quickly become full of doubts.

bbe@Mark:4:20 @And these are they who were planted on the good earth; such as give ear to the word, and take it into their hearts, and give fruit, thirty and sixty and a hundred times as much.

bbe@Mark:4:21 @And he said to them, When the light comes in, do people put it under a vessel, or under the bed, and not on its table?

bbe@Mark:4:22 @There is nothing covered which will not be seen openly, and nothing has been made secret which will not come to light.

bbe@Mark:4:24 @And he said to them, Take care what you give ear to: in the same measure as you give you will get, and more will be given to you.

bbe@Mark:4:27 @And went to sleep and got up, night and day, and the seed came to growth, though he had no idea how.

bbe@Mark:4:29 @But when the grain is ready, he quickly sends men to get it cut, because the time for cutting has come.

bbe@Mark:4:32 @But when it is planted, it comes up, and becomes taller than all the plants, and puts out great branches, so that the birds of heaven are able to take rest in its shade.

bbe@Mark:4:35 @And on that day, when the evening had come, he said to them, Let us go over to the other side.

bbe@Mark:4:37 @And a great storm of wind came up, and the waves came into the boat, so that the boat was now becoming full.

bbe@Mark:4:39 @And he came out of his sleep, and gave strong orders to the wind, and said to the sea, Peace, be at rest. And the wind went down, and there was a great calm.

bbe@Mark:5:1 @And they came to the other side of the sea, into the country of the Gerasenes.

bbe@Mark:5:2 @And when he had got out of the boat, straight away there came to him from the place of the dead a man with an unclean spirit.

bbe@Mark:5:5 @And all the time, by day and by night, in the place of the dead, and in the mountains, he was crying out and cutting himself with stones.

bbe@Mark:5:7 @And crying out with a loud voice he said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name, do not be cruel to me.

bbe@Mark:5:8 @For Jesus had said to him, Come out of the man, you unclean spirit.

bbe@Mark:5:9 @And Jesus said, What is your name? And he made answer, My name is Legion, because there are a great number of us.

bbe@Mark:5:13 @And he let them do it. And the unclean spirits came out and went into the pigs; and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the sea, about two thousand of them; and they came to their death in the sea.

bbe@Mark:5:14 @And their keepers went running and gave an account of it in the town and in the country. And people came to see what had taken place.

bbe@Mark:5:15 @And they came to Jesus, and saw the man in whom had been the evil spirits seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, and they were full of fear.

bbe@Mark:5:18 @And when he was getting into the boat, the man in whom had been the evil spirits had a great desire to come with him.

bbe@Mark:5:19 @And he would not let him, but said to him, Go to your house, to your friends, and give them news of the great things the Lord has done for you, and how he had mercy on you.

bbe@Mark:5:20 @And he went on his way, and made public in the country of Decapolis what great things Jesus had done for him: and all men were full of wonder.

bbe@Mark:5:21 @And when Jesus had gone over again in the boat to the other side, a great number of people came to him: and he was by the sea.

bbe@Mark:5:22 @And one of the rulers of the Synagogue, Jairus by name, came, and seeing him, went down at his feet,

bbe@Mark:5:23 @And made strong prayers to him, saying, My little daughter is near to death: it is my prayer that you will come and put your hands on her, so that she may be made well, and have life.

bbe@Mark:5:24 @And he went with him; and a great number of people went after him, and came round him.

bbe@Mark:5:26 @And had undergone much at the hands of a number of medical men, and had given all she had, and was no better, but even worse,

bbe@Mark:5:31 @And his disciples said to him, You see the people round you on every side, and you say, Who was touching me?

bbe@Mark:5:33 @The woman, shaking with fear, conscious of what had been done to her, came and, falling on her face before him, gave him a true account of everything.

bbe@Mark:5:35 @And while he was still talking, they came from the ruler of the Synagogue's house, saying, Your daughter is dead: why are you still troubling the Master?

bbe@Mark:5:37 @And he did not let anyone come with him, but Peter and James and John, the brother of James.

bbe@Mark:5:38 @And they came to the house of the ruler of the Synagogue; and he saw people running this way and that, and weeping and crying loudly.

bbe@Mark:5:42 @And the young girl got up straight away, and was walking about; she being twelve years old. And they were overcome with wonder.

bbe@Mark:5:43 @And he gave them special orders that they were not to say anything of this; and he said that some food was to be given to her.

bbe@Mark:6:1 @And he went away from there, and came into his country; and his disciples went with him.

bbe@Mark:6:2 @And when the Sabbath day had come, he was teaching in the Synagogue; and a number of people hearing him were surprised, saying, From where did this man get these things? and, What is the wisdom given to this man, and what are these works of power done by his hands?

bbe@Mark:6:3 @Is not this the woodworker, the son of Mary, and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were bitter against him.

bbe@Mark:6:12 @And they went out, preaching the need for a change of heart in men.

bbe@Mark:6:14 @And king Herod had news of him, because his name was on the lips of all; and he said, John the Baptist has come back from the dead, and for this reason these powers are working in him

bbe@Mark:6:16 @But Herod, when he had news of it, said, John, whom I put to death, has come back from the dead.

bbe@Mark:6:17 @For Herod himself had sent men out to take John and put him in prison, because of Herodias, his brother Philip's wife, whom he had taken for himself.

bbe@Mark:6:21 @And the chance came when Herod on his birthday gave a feast to his lords, and the high captains, and the chief men of Galilee;

bbe@Mark:6:22 @And when the daughter of Herodias herself came in and did a dance, Herod and those who were at table with him were pleased with her; and the king said to the girl, Make a request for anything and I will give it you.

bbe@Mark:6:25 @And she came in quickly to the king, and said, My desire is that you give me straight away on a plate the head of John the Baptist.

bbe@Mark:6:27 @And straight away the king sent out one of his armed men, and gave him an order to come back with the head: and he went and took off John's head in prison,

bbe@Mark:6:28 @And came back with the head on a plate, and gave it to the girl; and the girl gave it to her mother.

bbe@Mark:6:29 @And when his disciples had news of it, they came and took up his body, and put it in its last resting-place.

bbe@Mark:6:30 @And the twelve came together to Jesus; and they gave him an account of all the things they had done, and all they had been teaching.

bbe@Mark:6:31 @And he said to them, Come away by yourselves to a quiet place, and take a rest for a time. Because there were a great number coming and going, and they had no time even for food.

bbe@Mark:6:35 @And at the end of the day, his disciples came to him and said, This place is waste land, and it is late:

bbe@Mark:6:36 @Send them away, so that they may go into the country and small towns round about, and get some food for themselves.

bbe@Mark:6:44 @And those who took of the bread were five thousand men.

bbe@Mark:6:48 @And seeing that they had trouble in getting their boat through the water, because the wind was against them, about the fourth watch of the night he came to them, walking on the sea; and he would have gone past them;

bbe@Mark:6:53 @And when they had gone across, they came to Gennesaret, and got their boat to land.

bbe@Mark:7:1 @And there came together to him the Pharisees and certain of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem,

bbe@Mark:7:2 @And had seen that some of his disciples took their bread with unclean, that is, unwashed, hands.

bbe@Mark:7:4 @And when they come from the market-place, they take no food till their hands are washed; and a number of other orders there are, which have been handed down to them to keep--washings of cups and pots and brass vessels.

bbe@Mark:7:6 @And he said, Well did Isaiah say of you, you false ones: These people give me honour with their lips, but their heart is far from me.

bbe@Mark:7:7 @But their worship is to no purpose, while they give as their teaching the rules of men.

bbe@Mark:7:8 @For, turning away from the law of God, you keep the rules of men.

bbe@Mark:7:10 @For Moses said, Give honour to your father and mother, and, He who says evil of father or mother, let him have the punishment of death:

bbe@Mark:7:11 @But you say, If a man says to his father or his mother, That by which you might have had profit from me is Corban, that is to say, Given to God,

bbe@Mark:7:14 @And turning to the people again, he said to them, Give ear to me all of you, and let my words be clear to you:

bbe@Mark:7:15 @There is nothing outside the man which, going into him, is able to make him unclean: but the things which come out of the man are those which make the man unclean.

bbe@Mark:7:20 @And he said, That which comes out of the man, that makes the man unclean.

bbe@Mark:7:21 @Because from inside, from the heart of men, come evil thoughts and unclean pleasures,

bbe@Mark:7:23 @All these evil things come from inside, and make the man unclean.

bbe@Mark:7:25 @But a woman, whose little daughter had an unclean spirit, having had news of him, came straight away and went down at his feet.

bbe@Mark:7:31 @And again he went out from Tyre, and came through Sidon to the sea of Galilee, through the country of Decapolis.

bbe@Mark:7:32 @And they came to him with one who had no power of hearing and had trouble in talking; and they made a request to him to put his hands on him.

bbe@Mark:7:35 @And his ears became open, and the band of his tongue was made loose, and his words became clear.

bbe@Mark:7:37 @And they were overcome with wonder, saying, He has done all things well: he even gives back the power of hearing and the power of talking to those who have been without them.

bbe@Mark:8:1 @In those days again, when there was a great mass of people and they had no food, he made his disciples come to him and said to them,

bbe@Mark:8:2 @I have pity for these people because they have been with me now three days, and have no food;

bbe@Mark:8:3 @If I send them away to their houses with no food, they will be overcome by weariness on the way; and some of them have come from far.

bbe@Mark:8:4 @And his disciples said in answer, How will it be possible to get enough bread for these men here in a waste place?

bbe@Mark:8:7 @And they had some small fishes; and blessing them he had them put before the people in the same way.

bbe@Mark:8:10 @And he got into the boat with his disciples straight away, and came into the country of Dalmanutha.

bbe@Mark:8:11 @And the Pharisees came out and put questions to him, requesting from him a sign from heaven, testing him.

bbe@Mark:8:18 @Having eyes, do you not see? and having ears, have you no hearing? and have you no memory?

bbe@Mark:8:22 @And they came to Beth-saida. And they took a blind man to him, requesting him to put his hands on him.

bbe@Mark:8:24 @And looking up, he said, I see men; I see them like trees, walking.

bbe@Mark:8:27 @And Jesus went out, with his disciples, into the little towns round Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he put a question to his disciples, saying, Who do men say that I am?

bbe@Mark:8:31 @And teaching them, he said that the Son of man would have to undergo much, and be hated by those in authority, and the chief priests, and the scribes, and be put to death, and after three days come back from the dead.

bbe@Mark:8:33 @But he, turning about, and seeing his disciples, said sharply to Peter, Get out of my way, Satan: for your mind is not on the things of God, but on the things of men.

bbe@Mark:8:34 @And turning to the mass of people with his disciples, he said to them, If any man has the desire to come after me, let him give up all other desires, and take up his cross and come after me.

bbe@Mark:8:35 @Whoever has a desire to keep his life, will have it taken from him; and whoever gives up his life because of me and the good news, will keep it.

bbe@Mark:8:38 @Whoever has a feeling of shame because of me and my words in this false and evil generation, the Son of man will have a feeling of shame because of him, when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

bbe@Mark:9:1 @And he said to them, Truly I say to you, There are some here who will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God come with power.

bbe@Mark:9:2 @And after six days Jesus took with him Peter and James and John, and made them go up with him into a high mountain by themselves: and he was changed in form before them:

bbe@Mark:9:3 @And his clothing became shining, very white, as no cleaner on earth would make it.

bbe@Mark:9:4 @And there came before them Elijah with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

bbe@Mark:9:7 @And a cloud came over them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, give ear to him.

bbe@Mark:9:9 @And while they were coming down from the mountain, he gave them orders not to give word to any man of the things they had seen, till the Son of man had come back from the dead.

bbe@Mark:9:11 @And they put a question to him, saying, Why do the scribes say that Elijah has to come first?

bbe@Mark:9:12 @And he said to them, Truly, Elijah does come first, and puts all things in order; and how is it said in the Writings that the Son of man will go through much sorrow and be made as nothing?

bbe@Mark:9:13 @But I say to you that Elijah has come, and they have done to him whatever they were pleased to do, even as the Writings say about him.

bbe@Mark:9:14 @And when they came to the disciples, they saw a great mass of people about them, and scribes questioning them.

bbe@Mark:9:17 @And one of the number said to him in answer, Master, I came to you with my son, who has in him a spirit which takes away his power of talking;

bbe@Mark:9:19 @And he said to them in answer, O generation without faith, how long will I have to be with you? how long will I put up with you? let him come to me.

bbe@Mark:9:20 @And they took him to him: and when he saw him, the spirit in him straight away became violent; and he went down on the earth, rolling about and streaming at the lips

bbe@Mark:9:25 @And when Jesus saw that the people came running together, he gave orders to the unclean spirit, saying to him, You, spirit, who are the cause of his loss of voice and hearing, I say to you, come out of him, and never again go into him.

bbe@Mark:9:26 @And after crying out and shaking him violently, it came out: and the child became like one dead; so that most of them said, He is dead.

bbe@Mark:9:29 @And he said to them, Nothing will make this sort come out but prayer.

bbe@Mark:9:31 @For he was giving his disciples teaching, and saying to them, The Son of man is given up into the hands of men, and they will put him to death; and when he is dead, after three days he will come back from the dead.

bbe@Mark:9:33 @And they came to Capernaum: and when he was in the house, he put the question to them, What were you talking about on the way?

bbe@Mark:9:34 @But they said nothing: because they had had an argument between themselves on the way, about who was the greatest.

bbe@Mark:9:35 @And seating himself, he made the twelve come to him; and he said to them, If any man has the desire to be first, he will be last of all and servant of all.

bbe@Mark:9:37 @Whoever will give honour to one such little child in my name, gives honour to me: and whoever gives honour to me, gives honour not to me, but to him who sent me.

bbe@Mark:9:38 @John said to him, Master, we saw one driving out evil spirits in your name: and we said that he might not, because he is not one of us.

bbe@Mark:9:39 @But Jesus said, Say not so: for there is no man who will do a great work in my name, and be able at the same time to say evil of me.

bbe@Mark:9:42 @And whoever is a cause of trouble to one of these little ones who have faith in me, it would be better for him if a great stone was put round his neck and he was dropped into the sea.

bbe@Mark:10:1 @And he got up, and went into the country of Judaea on the other side of Jordan: and great numbers of people came together to him again; and, as was his way, he gave them teaching.

bbe@Mark:10:2 @And Pharisees came to him, testing him with the question, Is it right for a man to put away his wife?

bbe@Mark:10:4 @And they said to him, Moses let us give her a statement in writing, and be free from her.

bbe@Mark:10:8 @And the two will become one flesh; so that they are no longer two, but one flesh.

bbe@Mark:10:14 @And when Jesus saw it, he was angry, and said to them, Let the little children come to me, and do not keep them away; for of such is the kingdom of God.

bbe@Mark:10:15 @Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.

bbe@Mark:10:17 @And while he was going out into the way, a man came running to him, and went down on his knees, saying, Good Master, what have I to do so that I may have eternal life?

bbe@Mark:10:20 @And he said to him, Master, all these laws I have kept from the time when I was young.

bbe@Mark:10:21 @And Jesus, looking on him and loving him, said, There is one thing needed: go, get money for your goods, and give it to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven: and come with me.

bbe@Mark:10:22 @But his face became sad at the saying, and he went away sorrowing: for he was one who had much property.

bbe@Mark:10:23 @And Jesus, looking round about, said to his disciples, How hard it is for those who have wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

bbe@Mark:10:24 @And the disciples were full of wonder at his words. But Jesus said to them again, Children, how hard it is for those who put faith in wealth to come into the kingdom of God!

bbe@Mark:10:25 @It is simpler for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a man of wealth to come into the kingdom of God.

bbe@Mark:10:27 @Jesus, looking on them, said, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for all things are possible with God.

bbe@Mark:10:28 @Peter said to him, See, we have given up everything, and come after you.

bbe@Mark:10:29 @Jesus said, Truly I say to you, There is no man who has given up house, or brothers, or sisters, or mother, or father, or children, or land, because of me and the good news,

bbe@Mark:10:30 @Who will not get a hundred times as much now in this time, houses, and brothers, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and land--though with great troubles; and, in the world to come, eternal life.

bbe@Mark:10:32 @And they were on the way, going up to Jerusalem; and Jesus was going before them: and they were full of wonder; but those who came after him were in fear. And again he took the twelve, and gave them word of the things which were to come on him,

bbe@Mark:10:34 @And they will make sport of him, and put shame on him, and give him cruel blows, and will put him to death; and after three days he will come back from the dead.

bbe@Mark:10:35 @And there came to him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, saying to him, Master, will you give us whatever may be our request?

bbe@Mark:10:36 @And he said to them, What would you have me do for you?

bbe@Mark:10:40 @But to be seated at my right hand or at my left is not for me to give: but it is for those for whom it has been made ready.

bbe@Mark:10:41 @And hearing this, the ten became very angry with James and John.

bbe@Mark:10:42 @And Jesus made them come to him, and said to them, You see that those who are made rulers over the Gentiles are lords over them, and their great ones have authority over them.

bbe@Mark:10:43 @But it is not so among you: but whoever has a desire to become great among you, let him be your servant:

bbe@Mark:10:45 @For truly the Son of man did not come to have servants, but to be a servant, and to give his life for the salvation of men.

bbe@Mark:10:46 @And they came to Jericho: and when he was going out of Jericho, with his disciples and a great number of people, the son of Timaeus, Bartimaeus, a blind man, was seated by the wayside, with his hand out for money.

bbe@Mark:10:47 @And when it came to his ears that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he gave a cry, and said, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

bbe@Mark:10:48 @And some of them, turning in protest, gave him an order to be quiet: but he went on crying out all the more, Son of David, have mercy on me.

bbe@Mark:10:49 @And Jesus came to a stop and said, Let him come. And crying out to the blind man, they said to him, Be comforted: come, he has sent for you.

bbe@Mark:10:50 @And he, putting off his coat, got up quickly, and came to Jesus.

bbe@Mark:10:51 @And Jesus said to him, What would you have me do to you? And the blind man said, Master, make me able to see.

bbe@Mark:11:1 @And when they came near to Jerusalem, to Beth-phage and Bethany, at the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of his disciples,

bbe@Mark:11:2 @And said to them, Go into the little town opposite: and when you come to it, you will see a young ass with a cord round his neck, on which no man has ever been seated; let him loose, and come back with him.

bbe@Mark:11:5 @And some of those who were there said to them, What are you doing, taking the ass?

bbe@Mark:11:9 @And those who went in front, and those who came after, were crying, Glory: A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord:

bbe@Mark:11:12 @And on the day after, when they had come out from Bethany, he was in need of food.

bbe@Mark:11:13 @And seeing a fig-tree in the distance with leaves, he went to see if by chance it had anything on it: and when he came to it, he saw nothing but leaves, for it was not the time for the fruit.

bbe@Mark:11:15 @And they came to Jerusalem; and he went into the Temple, and sent out those who were trading there, overturning the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who were offering doves for money;

bbe@Mark:11:17 @And he gave them teaching, and said to them, Is it not in the Writings, My house is to be named a house of prayer for all the nations? but you have made it a hole of thieves.

bbe@Mark:11:18 @And it came to the ears of the chief priests and scribes, and they took thought how they might put him to death; being in fear of him, because all the people were full of wonder at his teaching.

bbe@Mark:11:21 @And Peter, having a memory of it, said to him, Master, see, the tree which was cursed by you is dead.

bbe@Mark:11:23 @Truly I say to you, Whoever says to this mountain, Be taken up and be put into the sea; and has no doubt in his heart, but has faith that what he says will come about, he will have his desire.

bbe@Mark:11:27 @And they came again to Jerusalem: and while he was walking in the Temple, there came to him the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority:

bbe@Mark:11:29 @And Jesus said to them, I will put to you one question; give me an answer, and I will say by what authority I do these things.

bbe@Mark:11:30 @The baptism of John, was it from heaven or from men? give me an answer.

bbe@Mark:11:32 @But if we say, From men--they were in fear of the people, because all took John to be truly a prophet.

bbe@Mark:12:2 @And when the time came, he sent a servant to get from the workmen some of the fruit of the garden.

bbe@Mark:12:5 @And he sent another; and they put him to death: and a number of others, whipping some, and putting some to death.

bbe@Mark:12:7 @But those workmen said among themselves, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property; come, let us put him to death, and the heritage will be ours.

bbe@Mark:12:9 @What then will the master of the garden do? He will come and put the workmen to death, and will give the garden into the hands of others.

bbe@Mark:12:10 @Have you not seen this which is in the Writings: The stone which the builders put on one side, the same was made the chief stone of the building:

bbe@Mark:12:14 @And when they had come, they said to him, Master, we are certain that you are true, and have no fear of anyone: you have no respect for a man's position, but you are teaching the true way of God: Is it right to give taxes to Caesar or not?

bbe@Mark:12:15 @Are we to give or not to give? But he, conscious of their false hearts, said to them, Why do you put me to the test? give me a penny, so that I may see it.

bbe@Mark:12:16 @And they gave him one. And he said to them, Whose is this image and name on it? And they said to him, Caesar's.

bbe@Mark:12:18 @And there came to him Sadducees, who say there is no coming back from the dead; and they put a question to him, saying,

bbe@Mark:12:19 @Master, in the law Moses says, If a man's brother comes to his end, and has a wife still living and no child, it is right for his brother to take his wife, and get a family for his brother.

bbe@Mark:12:21 @And the second took her, and at his death there were no offspring; and the third the same:

bbe@Mark:12:22 @And all the seven had no seed. Last of all the woman herself came to her death.

bbe@Mark:12:23 @In the future life, when they come back from the dead, whose wife will she be? for the seven had her for a wife.

bbe@Mark:12:25 @When they come back from the dead, they do not get married, but are like the angels in heaven.

bbe@Mark:12:28 @And one of the scribes came, and hearing their argument together, and seeing that he had given them a good answer, put the question to him, Which law is the first of all?

bbe@Mark:12:33 @And to have love for him with all the heart, and with all the mind, and with all the strength, and to have the same love for his neighbour as for himself, is much more than all forms of offerings.

bbe@Mark:12:37 @David himself gives him the name of Lord; and how then is he his son? And the common people gave ear to him gladly.

bbe@Mark:12:40 @Who take away the property of widows, and before the eyes of men make long prayers; these will be judged more hardly.

bbe@Mark:12:42 @And there came a poor widow, and she put in two little bits of money, which make a farthing.

bbe@Mark:12:43 @And he made his disciples come to him, and said to them, Truly I say to you, This poor widow has put in more than all those who are putting money into the box:

bbe@Mark:12:44 @Because they all put in something out of what they had no need for; but she out of her need put in all she had, even all her living.

bbe@Mark:13:3 @And while he was seated on the Mountain of Olives opposite the Temple, Peter and James and John and Andrew said to him privately,

bbe@Mark:13:6 @People will come in my name, saying, I am he; and a number will be turned from the true way.

bbe@Mark:13:8 @Nation will go to war with nation, and kingdom with kingdom: there will be earth-shocks in different places; there will be times when there is no food; these things are the first of the troubles.

bbe@Mark:13:9 @But take care: for they will give you up to the Sanhedrins; and in Synagogues you will be whipped; and you will be taken before rulers and kings because of me, for a sign to them.

bbe@Mark:13:13 @And you will be hated by all men, because of my name; but he who goes through to the end will have salvation.

bbe@Mark:13:17 @And it will be hard for women who are with child and for her who has a baby at the breast in those days.

bbe@Mark:13:19 @For in those days there will be sorrow, such as there has not been from the time when God made the world till now, and will not ever be again.

bbe@Mark:13:20 @And if the Lord had not made the time short, no flesh would have been kept from destruction; but because of the saints he has made the time short.

bbe@Mark:13:23 @But take care; see, I have made all things clear to you before the time.

bbe@Mark:13:24 @But in those days, after that time of trouble, the sun will be made dark and the moon will not give her light,

bbe@Mark:13:28 @Take an example from the fig-tree: when its branches become soft and put out their leaves, you see that the summer is near;

bbe@Mark:13:30 @Truly, I say to you, This generation will not come to an end till all these things are complete.

bbe@Mark:13:31 @Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.

bbe@Mark:13:33 @Take care, keep watch with prayer: for you are not certain when the time will be.

bbe@Mark:13:34 @It is as when a man who is in another country for a time, having gone away from his house, and given authority to his servants and to everyone his work, gives the porter an order to keep watch.

bbe@Mark:14:3 @And while he was in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, seated at table, there came a woman with a bottle of perfumed oil of great price; and when the bottle was broken she put the perfume on his head.

bbe@Mark:14:4 @But some of them were angry among themselves, saying, For what purpose has this oil been wasted?

bbe@Mark:14:6 @But Jesus said, Let her be; why are you troubling her? she has done a kind act to me.

bbe@Mark:14:7 @The poor you have ever with you, and whenever you have the desire you may do them good: but me you have not for ever.

bbe@Mark:14:9 @And truly I say to you, Wherever the good news goes out through all the earth, what this woman has done will be talked of in memory of her.

bbe@Mark:14:11 @And hearing what he said, they were glad, and gave him their word to make him a payment of money. And he took thought how he might best give him up to them.

bbe@Mark:14:12 @And on the first day of unleavened bread, when the Passover lamb is put to death, his disciples said to him, Where are we to go and make ready for you to take the Passover meal?

bbe@Mark:14:13 @And he sent two of his disciples, and said to them, Go into the town, and there will come to you a man with a vessel of water: go after him;

bbe@Mark:14:16 @And the disciples went out and came into the town, and saw that it was as he had said: and they made ready the Passover.

bbe@Mark:14:17 @And when it was evening he came with the twelve

bbe@Mark:14:18 @And while they were seated taking food, Jesus said, Truly I say to you, One of you will be false to me, one who is taking food with me.

bbe@Mark:14:20 @And he said to them, It is one of the twelve, one who is putting his bread with me into the same plate.

bbe@Mark:14:24 @And he said to them, This is my blood of the testament, which is given for men.

bbe@Mark:14:27 @And Jesus said to them, You will all be turned away from me: for it is in the Writings, I will put the keeper of the sheep to death, and the sheep will be put to flight.

bbe@Mark:14:28 @But after I have come back from the dead, I will go before you into Galilee.

bbe@Mark:14:30 @And Jesus said to him, Truly, I say to you that you, today, even this night, before the cock's second cry, will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

bbe@Mark:14:31 @But he said with passion, If I have to be put to death with you, I will not be false to you. And they all said the same.

bbe@Mark:14:32 @And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he said to his disciples, Be seated here while I say a prayer.

bbe@Mark:14:33 @And he took with him Peter and James and John, and grief and great trouble came on him.

bbe@Mark:14:34 @And he said to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: be here a little time, and keep watch.

bbe@Mark:14:36 @And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to you; take away this cup from me: but even so let not my pleasure, but yours be done.

bbe@Mark:14:37 @And he came, and saw them sleeping, and said to Peter, Simon, are you sleeping? were you not able to keep watch one hour?

bbe@Mark:14:39 @And again he went away, and said a prayer, using the same words.

bbe@Mark:14:40 @And again he came and saw them sleeping, because their eyes were very tired; and they had nothing to say in answer.

bbe@Mark:14:41 @And he came the third time, and said to them, Go on sleeping now and take your rest: it is enough; the hour has come; see, the Son of man is given up into the hands of evil men.

bbe@Mark:14:42 @Get up, let us be going; see, he who gives me up is near.

bbe@Mark:14:43 @And straight away, while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great band with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and the scribes and those in authority.

bbe@Mark:14:45 @And when he had come, he went straight to him and said, Master; and gave him a kiss.

bbe@Mark:14:48 @And Jesus said to them, Have you come out as against a thief, with swords and sticks to take me?

bbe@Mark:14:49 @I was with you every day in the Temple teaching, and you did not take me; but this is done so that the Writings may come true.

bbe@Mark:14:53 @And they took Jesus away to the high priest; and there came together with him all the chief priests and those in authority and the scribes.

bbe@Mark:14:54 @And Peter had come after him at a distance, even into the house of the high priest; and he was seated with the captains, warming himself in the light of the fire.

bbe@Mark:14:56 @For a number gave false witness against him and their witness was not in agreement.

bbe@Mark:14:57 @Then some got up and gave false witness against him, saying,

bbe@Mark:14:59 @And even so their witness was not in agreement.

bbe@Mark:14:64 @His words against God have come to your ears: what is your opinion? And they all said it was right for him to be put to death.

bbe@Mark:14:65 @And some put shame on him and, covering his face, gave him blows and said to him, Now say what is to come: and the captains took him and gave him blows with their hands.

bbe@Mark:14:66 @And while Peter was down in the open square of the building, one of the servant-girls of the high priest came;

bbe@Mark:14:68 @But he said, I have no knowledge of him, or of what you are saying: and he went out into the doorway; and there came the cry of a cock.

bbe@Mark:14:70 @But again he said it was not so. And after a little time, again those who were near said to Peter, Truly you are one of them; for you are a Galilaean.

bbe@Mark:14:72 @And in the same minute, the cock gave a second cry. And it came to Peter's mind how Jesus had said to him, Before the cock's second cry, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me. And at this thought he was overcome with weeping.

bbe@Mark:15:1 @And the first thing in the morning the chief priests, with those in authority and the scribes and all the Sanhedrin, had a meeting, and put cords round Jesus, and took him away, and gave him up to Pilate.

bbe@Mark:15:7 @And there was one named Barabbas, in prison with those who had gone against the government and in the fight had taken life.

bbe@Mark:15:12 @And Pilate again said in answer to them, What then am I to do to him to whom you give the name of the King of the Jews?

bbe@Mark:15:16 @And the men of the army took him away into the square in front of the building which is the Praetorium, and they got together all the band.

bbe@Mark:15:19 @And they gave him blows on the head with a stick and put shame on him and, going down on their knees, gave him worship

bbe@Mark:15:22 @And they took him to the place named Golgotha, which is, Dead Man's Head.

bbe@Mark:15:26 @And the statement of his crime was put in writing on the cross, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

bbe@Mark:15:30 @Keep yourself from death, and come down from the cross.

bbe@Mark:15:31 @In the same way the chief priests, laughing at him among themselves with the scribes, said, A saviour of others, he has no salvation for himself.

bbe@Mark:15:32 @Let the Christ, the King of Israel, come down now from the cross, so that we may see and have belief. And those who were put on crosses with him said evil things against him.

bbe@Mark:15:33 @And when the sixth hour had come, it was dark over all the land till the ninth hour.

bbe@Mark:15:34 @And at the ninth hour, Jesus said in a loud voice, Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, My God, my God, why are you turned away from me?

bbe@Mark:15:35 @And some of those who were near, hearing it, said, See, he is crying to Elijah.

bbe@Mark:15:36 @And one of them went quickly and, getting a sponge full of bitter wine, put it on a rod, and gave it to him for drink, saying, Let be; let us see if Elijah will come to take him down.

bbe@Mark:15:40 @And there were women watching from a distance: among them were Mary Magdalene, and Mary, the mother of James the less and of Joses, and Salome,

bbe@Mark:15:41 @Who went with him when he was in Galilee and took care of him; and a number of other women who came up with him to Jerusalem.

bbe@Mark:15:42 @And when it was evening, because it was the time of getting ready, that is, the day before the Sabbath,

bbe@Mark:15:43 @There came Joseph of Arimathaea, a responsible man in high honour, who was himself waiting for the kingdom of God; and he went in to Pilate without fear, and made a request for the body of Jesus.

bbe@Mark:16:1 @And when the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene and Mary, the mother of James, and Salome, got spices, so that they might come and put them on him.

bbe@Mark:16:2 @And very early after dawn on the first day of the week, they came at the time of the coming up of the sun to the place where the body had been put.

bbe@Mark:16:6 @And he said to them, Do not be troubled: you are looking for Jesus, the Nazarene, who has been put to death on the cross; he has come back from the dead; he is not here: see, the place where they put him!

bbe@Mark:16:8 @And they went out quickly from the place, because fear and great wonder had come on them: and they said nothing to anyone, because they were full of fear that...

bbe@Mark:16:9 @Now when he came back from the dead early on the first day of the week, he went first to Mary Magdalene, from whom he had sent out seven evil spirits.

bbe@Mark:16:11 @And they, when it came to their ears that he was living, and had been seen by her, had no belief in it.

bbe@Mark:16:14 @And later he was seen by the eleven themselves while they were taking food; and he said sharp words to them because they had no faith and their hearts were hard, and because they had no belief in those who had seen him after he had come back from the dead.

bbe@Mark:16:17 @And these signs will be with those who have faith: in my name they will send out evil spirits; and they will make use of new languages;

bbe@Mark:16:20 @And they went out, preaching everywhere, the Lord working with them, and giving witness to the word by the signs which came after. So be it.

bbe@Luke:1:3 @It seemed good to me, having made observation, with great care, of the direction of events in their order, to put the facts in writing for you, most noble Theophilus;

bbe@Luke:1:5 @In the days of Herod, king of Judaea, there was a certain priest, by name Zacharias, of the order of Abijah; and he had a wife of the family of Aaron, and her name was Elisabeth.

bbe@Luke:1:7 @And they were without children, because Elisabeth had never given birth, and they were at that time very old.

bbe@Luke:1:8 @Now it came about that in his turn he was acting as priest before God,

bbe@Luke:1:9 @And as was the way of the priests, he had to go into the Temple to see to the burning of perfumes.

bbe@Luke:1:10 @And all the people were offering prayers outside, at the time of the burning of perfumes.

bbe@Luke:1:12 @And Zacharias was troubled when he saw him, and fear came on him.

bbe@Luke:1:13 @But the angel said, Have no fear, Zacharias, for your prayer has come to the ears of God, and your wife Elisabeth will have a son, and his name will be John.

bbe@Luke:1:20 @Now, see, you will be without voice or language till the day when these things come about, because you had not faith in my words, which will have effect at the right time.

bbe@Luke:1:21 @And the people were waiting for Zacharias and were surprised because he was in the Temple for such a long time.

bbe@Luke:1:22 @And when he came out he was not able to say anything, and they saw that he had seen a vision in the Temple; and he was making signs to them without words.

bbe@Luke:1:24 @After that time, Elisabeth, being certain that she was to become a mother, kept herself from men's eyes for five months, saying,

bbe@Luke:1:25 @The Lord has done this to me, for his eyes were on me, to take away my shame in the eyes of men.

bbe@Luke:1:26 @Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town in Galilee, named Nazareth,

bbe@Luke:1:27 @To a virgin who was to be married to a man named Joseph, of the family of David; and the name of the virgin was Mary.

bbe@Luke:1:28 @And the angel came in to her and said, Peace be with you, to whom special grace has been given; the Lord is with you.

bbe@Luke:1:31 @And see, you will give birth to a son, and his name will be Jesus.

bbe@Luke:1:32 @He will be great, and will be named the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God will give him the kingdom of David, his father:

bbe@Luke:1:35 @And the angel in answer said to her, The Holy Spirit will come on you, and the power of the Most High will come to rest on you, and so that which will come to birth will be named holy, Son of God.

bbe@Luke:1:38 @And Mary said: I am the servant of the Lord; may it be to me as you say. And the angel went away.

bbe@Luke:1:41 @And when the voice of Mary came to the ears of Elisabeth, the baby made a sudden move inside her; then Elisabeth was full of the Holy Spirit,

bbe@Luke:1:42 @And she said with a loud voice: May blessing be on you among women, and a blessing on the child of your body.

bbe@Luke:1:43 @How is it that the mother of my Lord comes to me?

bbe@Luke:1:44 @For, truly, when the sound of your voice came to my ears, the baby in my body made a sudden move for joy.

bbe@Luke:1:48 @For he has had pity on his servant, though she is poor and lowly placed: and from this hour will all generations give witness to the blessing which has come to me.

bbe@Luke:1:49 @For he who is strong has done great things for me; and holy is his name.

bbe@Luke:1:50 @His mercy is for all generations in whom is the fear of him.

bbe@Luke:1:52 @He has put down kings from their seats, lifting up on high the men of low degree.

bbe@Luke:1:53 @Those who had no food he made full of good things; the men of wealth he sent away with nothing in their hands;

bbe@Luke:1:54 @His help he has given to Israel, his servant, so that he might keep in mind his mercy to Abraham and his seed for ever,

bbe@Luke:1:57 @Now it was time for Elisabeth to give birth, and she had a son.

bbe@Luke:1:58 @And it came to the ears of her neighbours and relations that the Lord had been very good to her, and they took part in her joy.

bbe@Luke:1:59 @And on the eighth day they came to see to the circumcision of the child, and they would have given him the name of Zacharias, his father's name;

bbe@Luke:1:60 @But his mother made answer and said, No, his name is John.

bbe@Luke:1:61 @And they said, Not one of your relations has that name.

bbe@Luke:1:62 @And they made signs to his father, to say what name was to be given to him.

bbe@Luke:1:63 @And he sent for writing materials and put down: His name is John; and they were all surprised.

bbe@Luke:1:65 @And fear came on all those who were living round about them: and there was much talk about all these things in all the hill-country of Judaea.

bbe@Luke:1:68 @Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, for he has come to his people and made them free,

bbe@Luke:1:70 @(As he said, by the mouth of his holy prophets, from the earliest times,)

bbe@Luke:1:72 @To do acts of mercy to our fathers and to keep in mind his holy word,

bbe@Luke:1:76 @And you, child, will be named the prophet of the Most High: you will go before the face of the Lord, to make ready his ways;

bbe@Luke:1:78 @Because of the loving mercies of our God, by which the dawn from heaven has come to us,

bbe@Luke:1:80 @And the child became tall, and strong in spirit; and he was living in the waste land till the day when he came before the eyes of Israel.

bbe@Luke:2:1 @Now it came about in those days that an order went out from Caesar Augustus that there was to be a numbering of all the world.

bbe@Luke:2:3 @And all men went to be numbered, everyone to his town.

bbe@Luke:2:5 @To be put on the list with Mary, his future wife, who was about to become a mother.

bbe@Luke:2:6 @And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth.

bbe@Luke:2:8 @And in the same country there were keepers of sheep in the fields, watching over their flock by night.

bbe@Luke:2:9 @And an angel of the Lord came to them, and the glory of the Lord was shining round about them: and fear came on them.

bbe@Luke:2:11 @For on this day, in the town of David, a Saviour has come to birth, who is Christ the Lord.

bbe@Luke:2:14 @Glory to God in the highest, and on the earth peace among men with whom he is well pleased.

bbe@Luke:2:15 @And when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, the keepers of the sheep said to one another, Let us go now to Beth-lehem, and see this thing which has come about, which the Lord has made clear to us.

bbe@Luke:2:16 @And they came quickly, and saw Mary and Joseph, and the child in the place where the cattle had their food.

bbe@Luke:2:18 @And all those to whose ears it came were full of wonder at the things said by the keepers of the sheep.

bbe@Luke:2:20 @Then the keepers of the sheep went back, giving glory and praise to God for all the things which had come to their ears and which they had seen, as it had been said to them.

bbe@Luke:2:21 @And when, after eight days, the time came for his circumcision, he was named Jesus, the name which the angel had given to him before his birth.

bbe@Luke:2:22 @And when the necessary days for making them clean by the law of Moses had come to an end, they took him to Jerusalem to give him to the Lord

bbe@Luke:2:25 @And there was then in Jerusalem a man whose name was Simeon; and he was an upright man, fearing God and waiting for the comfort of Israel: and the Holy Spirit was on him.

bbe@Luke:2:27 @And full of the Spirit he came into the Temple; and when the father and mother came in with the child Jesus, to do with him what was ordered by the law,

bbe@Luke:2:34 @And Simeon gave them his blessing and said to Mary, his mother, See, this child will be the cause of the downfall and the lifting up of great numbers of people in Israel, and he will be a sign against which hard words will be said;

bbe@Luke:2:35 @(And a sword will go through your heart;) so that the secret thoughts of men may come to light.

bbe@Luke:2:37 @She had been a widow for eighty-four years); she was in the Temple at all times, worshipping with prayers and going without food, night and day.

bbe@Luke:2:38 @And coming up at that time, she gave praise to God, talking of him to all those who were waiting for the freeing of Jerusalem.

bbe@Luke:2:40 @And the child became tall and strong and full of wisdom, and the grace of God was on him.

bbe@Luke:2:43 @And when the days of the feast came to an end and they were going back, the boy Jesus was still in Jerusalem, but they had no knowledge of it:

bbe@Luke:2:44 @And in the belief that he was with some of their number, they went a day's journey; and after looking for him among their relations and friends,

bbe@Luke:2:46 @And after three days they came across him in the Temple, seated among the wise men, giving ear to their words and putting questions to them.

bbe@Luke:2:47 @And all to whose ears it came were full of wonder at his knowledge and the answers which he gave.

bbe@Luke:2:49 @And he said to them, Why were you looking for me? was it not clear to you that my right place was in my Father's house?

bbe@Luke:2:50 @And his words seemed strange to them.

bbe@Luke:2:51 @And he went down with them and came to Nazareth; and did as he was ordered: and his mother kept all these words in her heart.

bbe@Luke:2:52 @And Jesus was increasing in wisdom and in years, and in grace before God and men.

bbe@Luke:3:2 @When Annas and Caiaphas were high priests, the word of the Lord came to John, the son of Zacharias, in the waste land.

bbe@Luke:3:3 @And he came into all the country round about Jordan, preaching baptism as a sign of forgiveness of sin for those whose hearts were changed.

bbe@Luke:3:7 @So he said to the people who went out to him for baptism: You offspring of snakes, at whose word are you going in flight from the wrath to come?

bbe@Luke:3:11 @And he made answer and said to them, He who has two coats, let him give to him who has not even one; and he who has food, let him do the same.

bbe@Luke:3:12 @Then tax-farmers came to him for baptism and said to him, Master, what have we to do?

bbe@Luke:3:14 @And men of the army put questions to him, saying, And what have we to do? And he said to them, Do no violent acts to any man, and do not take anything without right, and let your payment be enough for you.

bbe@Luke:3:15 @And while the people were waiting, and all men were questioning in their hearts about John, if he was the Christ or not,

bbe@Luke:3:17 @In whose hand is the instrument with which he will make clean his grain; he will put the good grain in his store, but the waste will be burned in the fire which will never be put out.

bbe@Luke:3:21 @Now it came about that when all the people had been given baptism, Jesus, having had baptism with them, was in prayer, when, the heaven being open,

bbe@Luke:3:22 @The Holy Spirit came down in the form of a dove, and a voice came from heaven, saying, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

bbe@Luke:3:23 @And Jesus at this time was about thirty years old, being the son (as it seemed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

bbe@Luke:3:24 @The son of Matthat, the son of Levi, the son of Melchi, the son of Jannai, the son of Joseph,

bbe@Luke:3:26 @The son of Maath, the son of Mattathias, the son of Semein, the son of Josech, the son of Joda,

bbe@Luke:3:28 @The son of Melchi, the son of Addi, the son of Cosam, the son of Elmadam, the son of Er,

bbe@Luke:3:30 @The son of Symeon, the son of Judas, the son of Joseph, the son of Jonam, the son of Eliakim,

bbe@Luke:3:31 @The son of Melea, the son of Menna, the son of Mattatha, the son of Nathan, the son of David,

bbe@Luke:3:36 @The son of Cainan, the son of Arphaxad, the son of Shem, the son of Noah, the son of Lamech,

bbe@Luke:3:37 @The son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalaleel, the son of Cainan,

bbe@Luke:4:1 @And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, came back from the Jordan, and was guided by the Spirit in the waste land

bbe@Luke:4:2 @For forty days, being tested by the Evil One. And he had no food in those days; and when they came to an end, he was in need of food.

bbe@Luke:4:3 @And the Evil One said to him, If you are the Son of God, give orders to this stone to become bread.

bbe@Luke:4:5 @And he took him up and let him see all the kingdoms of the earth in a minute of time.

bbe@Luke:4:6 @And the Evil One said, I will give you authority over all these, and the glory of them, for it has been given to me, and I give it to anyone at my pleasure.

bbe@Luke:4:7 @If then you will give worship to me, it will all be yours.

bbe@Luke:4:13 @And when all these tests were ended the Evil One went away from him for a time.

bbe@Luke:4:14 @And Jesus came back to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news of him went through all the country round about.

bbe@Luke:4:15 @And he was teaching in their Synagogues and all men gave him praise.

bbe@Luke:4:16 @And he came to Nazareth, where he had been as a child, and he went, as his way was, into the Synagogue on the Sabbath, and got up to give a reading.

bbe@Luke:4:17 @And the book of the prophet Isaiah was given to him and, opening the book, he came on the place where it is said,

bbe@Luke:4:18 @The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because I am marked out by him to give good news to the poor; he has sent me to make well those who are broken-hearted; to say that the prisoners will be let go, and the blind will see, and to make the wounded free from their chains,

bbe@Luke:4:19 @To give knowledge that the year of the Lord's good pleasure is come.

bbe@Luke:4:21 @Then he said to them, Today this word has come true in your hearing.

bbe@Luke:4:22 @And they were all giving witness, with wonder, to the words of grace which came from his mouth: and they said, Is not this the son of Joseph?

bbe@Luke:4:23 @And he said to them, Without doubt you will say to me, Let the medical man make himself well: the things which to our knowledge were done at Capernaum, do them here in your country.

bbe@Luke:4:27 @And there were a number of lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and not one of them was made clean, but only Naaman the Syrian.

bbe@Luke:4:30 @But he came through them and went on his way.

bbe@Luke:4:31 @And he came down to Capernaum, a town of Galilee; and he was giving them teaching on the Sabbath.

bbe@Luke:4:34 @Let us be! what have we to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? have you come to put an end to us? I have knowledge who you are, the Holy One of God.

bbe@Luke:4:35 @And Jesus said to him, Be quiet, and come out of him. And when the evil spirit had put him down on the earth in the middle of them, he came out of him, having done him no damage.

bbe@Luke:4:36 @And wonder came on them all and they said to one another, What are these words? for with authority and power he gives orders to the evil spirits and they come out.

bbe@Luke:4:41 @And evil spirits came out of a number of them, crying out and saying, You are the Son of God. But he gave them sharp orders not to say a word, because they had knowledge that he was the Christ.

bbe@Luke:4:42 @And when it was day, he came out and went to a waste place; and great numbers of people came looking for him, and they came to him and would have kept him from going away.

bbe@Luke:5:1 @Now it came about that while the people came pushing to be near him, and to have knowledge of the word of God, he was by a wide stretch of water named Gennesaret;

bbe@Luke:5:2 @And he saw two boats by the edge of the water, but the fishermen had gone out of them and were washing their nets.

bbe@Luke:5:6 @And when they had done this, they got such a great number of fish that it seemed as if their nets would be broken;

bbe@Luke:5:7 @And they made signs to their friends in the other boat to come to their help. And they came, and the two boats were so full that they were going down.

bbe@Luke:5:8 @But Simon, when he saw it, went down at the knees of Jesus and said, Go away from me, O Lord, for I am a sinner.

bbe@Luke:5:10 @And so were James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were working with Simon. And Jesus said to Simon, Have no fear; from this time forward you will be a fisher of men.

bbe@Luke:5:12 @And it came about that while he was in one of the towns, there was a leper there: and when he saw Jesus he went down on his face in prayer to him, saying, Lord, if it is your pleasure, you have power to make me clean

bbe@Luke:5:15 @But news of him went out all the more, in every direction, and great numbers of people came together to give hearing to his words and to be made well from their diseases.

bbe@Luke:5:17 @And it came about that on one of these days he was teaching; and some Pharisees and teachers of the law were seated there, who had come from every town of Galilee and Judaea and from Jerusalem; and the power of the Lord was with him, to make those who were ill free from their diseases.

bbe@Luke:5:18 @And some men had with them, on a bed, a man who was ill, without power of moving; and they made attempts to get him in and put him before Jesus.

bbe@Luke:5:21 @And the scribes and Pharisees were having an argument, saying, Who is this, who has no respect for God? who is able to give forgiveness for sins, but God only?

bbe@Luke:5:26 @And wonder overcame them all, and they gave glory to God; and they were full of fear, saying, We have seen strange things today.

bbe@Luke:5:27 @And after these things he went out, and saw Levi, a tax-farmer, seated at the place where taxes were taken, and said to him, Come after me.

bbe@Luke:5:29 @And Levi made a great feast for him in his house: and a great number of tax-farmers and others were seated at table with them.

bbe@Luke:5:30 @And the Pharisees and their scribes made protests against his disciples, saying, Why do you take food and drink with tax-farmers and sinners?

bbe@Luke:5:31 @And Jesus, answering, said to them, Those who are well have no need of a medical man, but those who are ill.

bbe@Luke:5:32 @I have come, not to get the upright, but sinners, so that they may be turned from their sins.

bbe@Luke:5:35 @But the days will come when he will be taken away from them, and then they will go without food.

bbe@Luke:5:37 @And no man puts new wine into old wine-skins, for fear that the skins will be burst by the new wine, and the wine be let out, and the skins come to destruction.

bbe@Luke:6:1 @Now it came about that on the Sabbath he was going through the fields of grain, and his disciples took the heads of the grain for food, crushing them in their hands.

bbe@Luke:6:2 @But some of the Pharisees said, Why do you do what it is not right to do on the Sabbath?

bbe@Luke:6:6 @And it came about, on another Sabbath, that he went into the Synagogue and was teaching there. And a man was there whose right hand was dead.

bbe@Luke:6:7 @And the scribes and Pharisees were watching him to see if he would make him well on the Sabbath, so that they might be able to say something against him.

bbe@Luke:6:8 @But he had knowledge of their thoughts; and he said to the man whose hand was dead, Get up and come into the middle. And he got up and came forward.

bbe@Luke:6:12 @And it came about in those days that he went out to the mountain for prayer; and he was all night in prayer to God.

bbe@Luke:6:13 @And the day came and, turning to his disciples, he made a selection from among them of twelve, to whom he gave the name of Apostles;

bbe@Luke:6:14 @Simon, to whom he gave the name of Peter, and Andrew, his brother, and James and John and Philip and Bartholomew

bbe@Luke:6:15 @And Matthew and Thomas and James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon, who was named the Zealot,

bbe@Luke:6:16 @And Judas, the son of James, and Judas Iscariot, he who was false to him.

bbe@Luke:6:17 @And he came down with them to a level place, and a great band of his disciples, and a very great number of people from all Judaea and Jerusalem and from the parts of Tyre and Sidon by the sea, came to give hearing to him, and to be made well from their diseases;

bbe@Luke:6:19 @And all the people were desiring to be touched by him, for power came from him and made them all well.

bbe@Luke:6:22 @Happy are you, when men have hate for you, and put you away from among them and say angry words to you, turning away in disgust at your name, because of the Son of man.

bbe@Luke:6:23 @Be glad in that day, and be lifted up for joy, for your reward in heaven will be great: for their fathers did these same things to the prophets.

bbe@Luke:6:26 @Unhappy are you when all men give you their approval: for so their fathers did to the false prophets.

bbe@Luke:6:27 @But I say to you who give ear to me, Have love for those who are against you, do good to those who have hate for you,

bbe@Luke:6:30 @Give to everyone who comes with a request, and if a man takes away your property, make no attempt to get it back again.

bbe@Luke:6:33 @And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is it to you? for even sinners do the same.

bbe@Luke:6:35 @But be loving to those who are against you and do them good, and give them your money, not giving up hope, and your reward will be great and you will be the sons of the Most High: for he is kind to evil men, and to those who have hard hearts.

bbe@Luke:6:37 @Be not judges of others, and you will not be judged: do not give punishment to others, and you will not get punishment yourselves: make others free, and you will be made free:

bbe@Luke:6:38 @Give, and it will be given to you; good measure, crushed down, full and running over, they will give to you. For in the same measure as you give, it will be given to you again.

bbe@Luke:6:42 @How will you say to your brother, Brother, let me take the grain of dust out of your eye, when you yourself do not see the bit of wood in your eye? O false one! first take the wood out of your eye and then you will see clearly to take the dust out of your brother's eye.

bbe@Luke:6:44 @For every tree is judged by its fruit. Men do not get figs from thorns, or grapes from blackberry plants.

bbe@Luke:6:45 @The good man, out of the good store of his heart, gives good things; and the evil man, out of his evil store, gives evil: for out of the full store of the heart come the words of the mouth.

bbe@Luke:6:46 @Why do you say to me, Lord, Lord, and do not the things which I say?

bbe@Luke:6:47 @Everyone who comes to me and gives ear to my words and does them, I will make clear to you what he is like:

bbe@Luke:6:48 @He is like a man building a house, who went deep and put the base of it on a rock; and when the water came up and the river was driving against that house, it was not moved, because the building was good.

bbe@Luke:6:49 @But he who gives hearing, without doing, is like a man building a house on the earth without a base for it; and when the force of the river came against it, straight away it came down; and the destruction of that house was great.

bbe@Luke:7:1 @After he had come to the end of all his words in the hearing of the people, he went into Capernaum.

bbe@Luke:7:3 @And when news of Jesus came to his ears, he sent to him rulers of the Jews, requesting that he would come and make his servant well.

bbe@Luke:7:4 @And they, when they came to Jesus, made their request warmly, saying,

bbe@Luke:7:6 @And Jesus went with them. And when he was not far from the house, the man sent friends to him, saying, Lord, do not give yourself trouble: for I am not important enough for you to come into my house:

bbe@Luke:7:7 @And I had the feeling that I was not even good enough to come to you: but say the word only, and my servant will be well.

bbe@Luke:7:8 @For I, myself, am a man under authority, having men under me; and I say to this one, Go, and he goes; and to another, Come, and he comes; and to my servant, Do this, and he does it.

bbe@Luke:7:10 @And when those who were sent came back to the house they saw that the servant was well.

bbe@Luke:7:11 @And it came about, after a little time, that he went to a town named Nain; and his disciples went with him, and a great number of people.

bbe@Luke:7:12 @Now when he came near the door of the town, a dead man was being taken out, the only son of his mother, who was a widow: and a great number of people from the town were with her.

bbe@Luke:7:14 @And he came near, and put his hand on the stretcher where the dead man was: and those who were moving it came to a stop. And he said, Young man, I say to you, Get up.

bbe@Luke:7:15 @And the dead man got up, and words came from his lips. And he gave him to his mother.

bbe@Luke:7:16 @And fear came on all, and they gave praise to God, saying, A great prophet is among us: and, God has given thought to his people

bbe@Luke:7:19 @Then John sent two of his disciples to the Lord, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?

bbe@Luke:7:20 @And when the men came to him they said, John the Baptist has sent us to you, saying, Are you he who is to come, or are we waiting for another?

bbe@Luke:7:21 @At that time, he made a number of people free from their diseases and their pains, and from evil spirits; and to others who were blind he gave back the use of their eyes.

bbe@Luke:7:22 @And answering them he said, Go back and give news to John of what you have seen, and the things which have come to your ears; the blind now see, those who had no power in their legs are walking, lepers are made clean, those who had no hearing now have their ears open, dead men come to life again, and the poor have the good news given to them.

bbe@Luke:7:23 @And a blessing will be on him who has no doubts about me.

bbe@Luke:7:24 @And when the men who were sent by John had gone away, he said to the people, about John, What did you go out into the waste land to see? a tall stem moving in the wind?

bbe@Luke:7:28 @I say to you, Among all the sons of women, not one is greater than John: but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.

bbe@Luke:7:29 @(And all the people, and the tax-farmers, to whom John had given baptism, when they had knowledge of these things, gave glory to God.

bbe@Luke:7:31 @What comparison am I to make of the men of this generation? what are they like?

bbe@Luke:7:33 @For John the Baptist came, taking no food or drink, and you say, He has an evil spirit.

bbe@Luke:7:34 @The Son of man came feasting, and you say, Here is a lover of food and wine, a friend of tax-farmers and sinners.

bbe@Luke:7:36 @And one of the Pharisees made a request that he would take a meal with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house and took his seat at the table.

bbe@Luke:7:37 @And there was a woman in the town who was a sinner; and when she had news that he was a guest in the Pharisee's house, she took a bottle of perfume,

bbe@Luke:7:38 @And went in and took her place at the back of him, near his feet, weeping, so that his feet were washed with the drops from her eyes, and with her hair she made them dry, and kissing his feet she put the perfume on them.

bbe@Luke:7:40 @And Jesus, answering, said, Simon, I have something to say to you. And he said, Master, say on.

bbe@Luke:7:41 @And he said, Two men were in debt to a certain man of business: one had a debt of five hundred pence, and the other of fifty.

bbe@Luke:7:42 @When they were unable to make payment, he made the two of them free of their debts. Which of them, now, will have the greater love for him?

bbe@Luke:7:44 @And turning to the woman he said to Simon, You see this woman? I came into your house; you did not give me water for my feet: but she has been washing my feet with the drops from her eyes, and drying them with her hair.

bbe@Luke:7:45 @You did not give me a kiss: but she, from the time when I came in, has gone on kissing my feet.

bbe@Luke:7:46 @You put no oil on my head: but she has put perfume on my feet.

bbe@Luke:8:1 @And it came about, after a short time, that he went through town and country giving the good news of the kingdom of God, and with him were the twelve,

bbe@Luke:8:2 @And certain women who had been made free from evil spirits and diseases, Mary named Magdalene, from whom seven evil spirits had gone out,

bbe@Luke:8:4 @And when a great number of people came together, and men from every town went out to him, he gave them teaching in the form of a story:

bbe@Luke:8:5 @A man went out to put in seed, and while he was doing it, some was dropped by the wayside and it was crushed under foot, and was taken by the birds of heaven.

bbe@Luke:8:6 @And some went on the rock, and when it came up it became dry and dead because it had no water.

bbe@Luke:8:7 @And some went among thorns, and the thorns came up with it and it had no room for growth.

bbe@Luke:8:8 @And some falling on good earth, came up and gave fruit a hundred times as much. And with these words he said in a loud voice, He who has ears, let him give ear.

bbe@Luke:8:12 @Those by the side of the road are those who have given hearing; then the Evil One comes and takes away the word from their hearts, so that they may not have faith and get salvation.

bbe@Luke:8:13 @And those on the rock are those who with joy give hearing to the word; but having no root, they have faith for a time, and when the test comes they give up.

bbe@Luke:8:14 @And those which went among thorns are those who have given hearing, and go on their way, but they are overcome by cares and wealth and the pleasures of life, and they give no fruit.

bbe@Luke:8:16 @No man, when the light is lighted, puts a cover over it, or puts it under a bed, but he puts it on its table, so that those who come in may see the light.

bbe@Luke:8:17 @For nothing is put out of view which will not be made clear, and nothing is secret of which the knowledge will not come to light.

bbe@Luke:8:19 @And his mother and his brothers came to him, and they were not able to get near him because of the great number of people.

bbe@Luke:8:20 @And someone said to him, Your mother and your brothers are outside desiring to see you.

bbe@Luke:8:22 @Now it came about on one of those days that he got into a boat with his disciples; and he said to them, Let us go over to the other side of the water: and they put out the boat.

bbe@Luke:8:23 @But while they were sailing he went to sleep: and a storm of wind came down on the sea, and the boat became full of water and they were in danger.

bbe@Luke:8:24 @Then they came to him and, awaking him out of his sleep, said, Master, Master, destruction is near. And he, when he was awake, gave orders to the wind and the rolling waves, and the storm came to an end, and all was calm.

bbe@Luke:8:25 @And he said to them, Where is your faith? And fear and wonder overcame them, and they said to one another, Who then is this, who gives orders even to the winds and the water and they do what he says?

bbe@Luke:8:26 @And they came to the country of the Gerasenes, which is opposite Galilee.

bbe@Luke:8:27 @And when he had come to the land, there came to him a certain man from the town who had evil spirits; and for a long time he had had no clothing on, and was not living in a house but in the place of the dead.

bbe@Luke:8:28 @And when he saw Jesus, he gave a loud cry and went down on the earth before him and in a loud voice said, What have I to do with you, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Do not be cruel to me.

bbe@Luke:8:29 @For he gave an order to the evil spirit to come out of the man. For frequently it would take a grip of him: and he was kept under control, and prisoned with chains; but parting the chains in two, he would be sent by the driving of the evil spirit into waste places.

bbe@Luke:8:30 @And Jesus said to him, What is your name? And he said, Legion; for a number of spirits had gone into him.

bbe@Luke:8:33 @And the evil spirits came out of the man and went into the pigs: and the herd went rushing down a sharp slope into the water and came to destruction.

bbe@Luke:8:34 @And when the men who took care of them saw what had come about, they went quickly and gave news of it in the town and the country.

bbe@Luke:8:35 @And they went out to see what had taken place, and they came to Jesus and saw the man out of whom the evil spirits had gone, seated, clothed and with full use of his senses, at the feet of Jesus; and fear came on them.

bbe@Luke:8:41 @Then there came a man named Jairus, who was a ruler in the Synagogue: and he went down at the feet of Jesus, desiring him to come to his house;

bbe@Luke:8:43 @And a woman, who had had a flow of blood for twelve years, and had given all her money to medical men, and not one of them was able to make her well,

bbe@Luke:8:44 @Came after him and put her hand on the edge of his robe, and straight away the flowing of her blood was stopped.

bbe@Luke:8:45 @And Jesus said, Who was touching me? And when they all said, It is not I, Peter and those who were with him said, Master, the people are pushing round you on every side.

bbe@Luke:8:46 @But Jesus said, Someone was touching me, for I had the feeling that power had gone out from me.

bbe@Luke:8:47 @And when the woman saw that she was not able to keep it secret, she came, shaking with fear, and falling down before him she made clear before all the people the reason for her touching him, and how she was made well straight away.

bbe@Luke:8:49 @While he was still talking, someone came from the house of the ruler of the Synagogue, saying, Your daughter is dead; do not go on troubling the Master.

bbe@Luke:8:51 @And when he came to the house he did not let any man go in with him, but only Peter and John and James, and the father of the girl and her mother.

bbe@Luke:8:55 @And her spirit came back to her and she got up straight away: and he gave orders that food was to be given to her.

bbe@Luke:9:7 @Now Herod the king had news of all these things: and he was in doubt, because it was said by some people that John had come back from the dead;

bbe@Luke:9:8 @And by some, that Elijah had come; and by others, that one of the old prophets had come back to life.

bbe@Luke:9:9 @And Herod said, I put John to death: but who is this, of whom such stories are given to me? And he had a desire to see him.

bbe@Luke:9:10 @And the twelve, when they came back, gave him an account of what they had done. And he took them with him and went away from the people to a town named Beth-saida.

bbe@Luke:9:12 @And the day went on; and the twelve came to him and said, Send these people away so that they may go into the towns and the country round about and get resting-places and food for themselves, for we are in a waste place.

bbe@Luke:9:14 @For there were about five thousand men. And he said to his disciples, Make them be seated in groups, about fifty to a group.

bbe@Luke:9:18 @And it came about that when he was in prayer, by himself, and the disciples were with him, he put a question to them, saying, Who do the people say I am?

bbe@Luke:9:19 @And they, answering, said, John the Baptist; but others say Elijah; and others, that one of the old prophets has come back.

bbe@Luke:9:22 @Saying, The Son of man will undergo much and be put on one side by the rulers and the chief priests and the teachers of the law, and be put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.

bbe@Luke:9:23 @And he said to them all, If any man has a desire to come after me, let him give up all, and take up his cross every day, and come after me.

bbe@Luke:9:24 @For whoever has a desire to keep his life will have it taken from him, but whoever gives up his life because of me, will keep it.

bbe@Luke:9:26 @For if any man has a feeling of shame because of me or of my words, the Son of man will have shame because of him when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels.

bbe@Luke:9:27 @But truly I say to you, Some of those who are here now will have no taste of death till they see the kingdom of God.

bbe@Luke:9:28 @And about eight days after he had said these things, he took Peter and John and James with him and went up into the mountain for prayer.

bbe@Luke:9:29 @And while he was in prayer, his face was changed and his clothing became white and shining.

bbe@Luke:9:30 @And two men, Moses and Elijah, were talking with him;

bbe@Luke:9:32 @Now Peter and those who were with him were overcome with sleep: but when they were fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men who were with him.

bbe@Luke:9:34 @And while he said these things, the shade of a cloud came over them, and they were full of fear when they went into the cloud.

bbe@Luke:9:36 @And after the voice was gone they saw that Jesus was by himself. And they kept quiet, and said nothing at that time to anyone of the things which they had seen.

bbe@Luke:9:37 @And on the day after, when they came down from the mountain, a great band of people came to him.

bbe@Luke:9:41 @And Jesus said, O generation without faith and false in heart, how long will I have to be with you and put up with you? let your son come here.

bbe@Luke:9:44 @Let these words go deep into your ears, for the Son of man will be given up into the hands of men.

bbe@Luke:9:48 @And said to them, Whoever gives honour to this child in my name, gives honour to me: and whoever gives honour to me, gives honour to him who sent me: for whoever is least among you all, that man is great.

bbe@Luke:9:49 @And John, answering, said, Master, we saw a man driving out evil spirits in your name, and we did not let him do it, because he was not one of us.

bbe@Luke:9:51 @And it came about that when the days were near for him to be taken up, his face was turned to go to Jerusalem,

bbe@Luke:9:52 @And he sent men before: and they came to a small town of Samaria to make ready for him.

bbe@Luke:9:54 @And when his disciples, James and John, saw this, they said, Lord, may we send fire from heaven and put an end to them?

bbe@Luke:9:57 @And when they were on the way, a certain man said to him, I will come after you wherever you go.

bbe@Luke:9:59 @And he said to another, Come after me. But he said, Lord, let me first go and give the last honours to my father.

bbe@Luke:9:61 @And another man said, I will come with you, Lord, but first let me say a last good-day to those who are at my house.

bbe@Luke:10:1 @Now after these things, the Lord made selection of seventy others and sent them before him, two together, into every town and place where he himself was about to come.

bbe@Luke:10:6 @And if a son of peace is there, your peace will be with him: but if not, it will come back to you again.

bbe@Luke:10:7 @And keep in that same house, taking what food and drink they give you: for the worker has a right to his reward. Do not go from house to house.

bbe@Luke:10:16 @Whoever gives ear to you, gives ear to me; and whoever is against you, is against me; and whoever is against me, is against him who sent me.

bbe@Luke:10:17 @And the seventy came back with joy, saying, Lord, even the evil spirits are under our power in your name.

bbe@Luke:10:20 @Do not be glad, however, because you have power over spirits, but because your names are recorded in heaven.

bbe@Luke:10:21 @In that same hour he was full of joy in the Holy Spirit and said, I give praise to you, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have kept these things secret from the wise and the men of learning, and have made them clear to little children: for so, O Father, it was pleasing in your eyes.

bbe@Luke:10:22 @All things have been given to me by my Father: and no one has knowledge of the Son, but only the Father: and of the Father, but only the Son, and he to whom the Son will make it clear.

bbe@Luke:10:24 @For I say to you that numbers of prophets and kings have had a desire to see the things which you see, and have not seen them, and to have knowledge of the things which have come to your ears, and they had it not.

bbe@Luke:10:32 @And in the same way, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, went by on the other side.

bbe@Luke:10:33 @But a certain man of Samaria, journeying that way, came where he was, and when he saw him, he was moved with pity for him,

bbe@Luke:10:34 @And came to him and put clean linen round his wounds, with oil and wine; and he put him on his beast and took him to a house and took care of him.

bbe@Luke:10:35 @And the day after he took two pennies and gave them to the owner of the house and said, Take care of him; and if this money is not enough, when I come again I will give you whatever more is needed.

bbe@Luke:10:36 @Which of these three men, in your opinion, was neighbour to the man who came into the hands of thieves?

bbe@Luke:10:37 @And he said, The one who had mercy on him. And Jesus said, Go and do the same.

bbe@Luke:10:38 @Now, while they were on their way, he came to a certain town; and a woman named Martha took him into her house.

bbe@Luke:10:39 @And she had a sister, by name Mary, who took her seat at the Lord's feet and gave attention to his words.

bbe@Luke:10:40 @But Martha had her hands full of the work of the house, and she came to him and said, Lord, is it nothing to you that my sister has let me do all the work? Say to her that she is to give me some help.

bbe@Luke:11:1 @And it came about that he was in prayer in a certain place, and when he came to an end, one of his disciples said to him, Lord, will you give us teaching about prayer, as John did to his disciples?

bbe@Luke:11:2 @And he said to them, When you say your prayers, say, Father, may your name be kept holy and your kingdom come.

bbe@Luke:11:5 @And he said to them, Which of you, having a friend, would go to him in the middle of the night and say to him, Friend, let me have three cakes of bread;

bbe@Luke:11:6 @Because a friend of mine has come to me on a journey, and I have nothing to put before him;

bbe@Luke:11:7 @And he, from inside the house, would say in answer, Do not be a trouble to me; the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; it is not possible for me to get up and give to you?

bbe@Luke:11:14 @And he was sending an evil spirit out of a man who was without the power of talking. And it came about that when the spirit had gone the man had the power of talking; and the people were full of wonder.

bbe@Luke:11:15 @But some of them said, He sends out evil spirits by Beelzebul, the ruler of evil spirits.

bbe@Luke:11:17 @But he, having knowledge of their thoughts, said to them, Every kingdom in which there is division is made waste; and a house in which there is division comes to destruction.

bbe@Luke:11:18 @If, then, Satan is at war with himself, how will he keep his kingdom? because you say that I send evil spirits out of men by the help of Beelzebul.

bbe@Luke:11:21 @When the strong man armed keeps watch over his house, then his goods are safe:

bbe@Luke:11:22 @But when one who is stronger makes an attack on him and overcomes him, he takes away his instruments of war, in which he had put his faith, and makes division of his goods.

bbe@Luke:11:23 @He who is not with me is against me, and he who will not give me help in getting people together is driving them away.

bbe@Luke:11:24 @The unclean spirit, when he has gone out of a man, goes through dry places, looking for rest; and when he does not get it, he says, I will go back to my house from which I came.

bbe@Luke:11:25 @And when he comes, he sees that it has been made fair and clean.

bbe@Luke:11:27 @And it came about that when he said these things, a certain woman among the people said in a loud voice, Happy is the body which gave you birth, and the breasts from which you took milk.

bbe@Luke:11:29 @And when a great number of people came together to him, he said, This generation is an evil generation: it is looking for a sign and no sign will be given to it but the sign of Jonah.

bbe@Luke:11:30 @For even as Jonah became a sign to the Ninevites, so will the Son of man be to this generation.

bbe@Luke:11:31 @The queen of the South will come up on the day of judging and give her decision against the men of this generation: for she came from the ends of the earth to give ear to the wisdom of Solomon; and now something greater than Solomon is here.

bbe@Luke:11:32 @The men of Nineveh will come up in the day of judging and give their decision against this generation: for they were turned away from their sins at the preaching of Jonah; but now something greater than Jonah is here.

bbe@Luke:11:33 @No man, when the light has been lighted, puts it in a secret place, or under a vessel, but on its table, so that those who come in may see the light.

bbe@Luke:11:36 @If, then, all your body is light, with no part of it dark, it will be completely full of light, as when a flame with its bright shining gives you light.

bbe@Luke:11:37 @Now, while he was talking, a Pharisee made a request that he would come to a meal with him; and he went in and took his seat at the meal.

bbe@Luke:11:38 @And when the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised because he came to the meal without first washing himself.

bbe@Luke:11:40 @O you foolish ones! did not he who made the outside in the same way make the inside?

bbe@Luke:11:42 @But a curse is on you, Pharisees! for you make men give a tenth of every sort of plant, and give no thought to right and the love of God; but it is right for you to do these things, and not let the others be undone.

bbe@Luke:11:44 @A curse is on you! for you are like the resting-places of dead men, which are not seen, and men go walking over them without knowledge of it.

bbe@Luke:11:45 @And one of the teachers of the law, answering, said to him, Master, in saying this, you give a bad name to us as to them.

bbe@Luke:11:46 @And he said, A curse is on you, teachers of the law! for while other men are crushed under the weight of the rules you make for them, you yourselves do not put so much as one finger to them.

bbe@Luke:11:49 @For this reason the wisdom of God has said, I will send them prophets and teachers, and to some of them they will give death and cruel pains;

bbe@Luke:11:50 @So that punishment may come on this generation for the blood of all the prophets which was given from the earliest days;

bbe@Luke:11:51 @From the blood of Abel to the blood of Zachariah, who was put to death between the altar and the Temple. Yes, I say to you, It will come on this generation.

bbe@Luke:11:53 @And when he had come out of that place, the scribes and the Pharisees came round him angrily, questioning him about more things;

bbe@Luke:11:54 @And watching him, for a chance to get something from his words which might be used against him.

bbe@Luke:12:1 @At that time, when thousands of the people had come together, in such numbers that they were crushing one another, he said first to his disciples, Have nothing to do with the leaven of the Pharisees, which is deceit.

bbe@Luke:12:2 @But nothing is covered up, which will not come to light, or secret, which will not be made clear.

bbe@Luke:12:3 @So, whatever you have said in the dark, will come to men's hearing in the light, and what you have said secretly inside the house, will be made public from the house-tops.

bbe@Luke:12:8 @And I say to you that to everyone who gives witness to me before men, the Son of man will give witness before the angels of God.

bbe@Luke:12:9 @But if anyone says before men that he has no knowledge of me, I will say that I have no knowledge of him before the angels of God.

bbe@Luke:12:13 @And one of the people said to him, Master, give an order to my brother to make division of the heritage with me

bbe@Luke:12:14 @But he said, Man, who made me a judge or a maker of decisions for you?

bbe@Luke:12:21 @So that is what comes to the man who gets wealth for himself, and has not wealth in the eyes of God.

bbe@Luke:12:28 @But if God gives such clothing to the grass in the field, which today is living, and tomorrow will be burned in the oven, how much more will he give clothing to you, O men of little faith?

bbe@Luke:12:33 @Give what property you have in exchange for money, and give the money to the poor; make for yourselves money-bags which will not get old, wealth stored up in heaven which will be yours for ever, where thieves will not come nor worms put it to destruction.

bbe@Luke:12:36 @And be like men who are looking for their lord, when he comes back from the bride-feast; so that when he comes to the door, it will be open to him quickly.

bbe@Luke:12:37 @Happy are those servants who are watching when the lord comes; truly I say to you, he will make himself their servant and, placing them at the table, he will come out and give them food.

bbe@Luke:12:38 @And if he comes in the second division of the night or in the third, and they are watching for him, happy are those servants.

bbe@Luke:12:39 @But be certain of this, that if the master of the house had had knowledge of the time when the thief was coming, he would have been watching, and would not have let his house be broken into.

bbe@Luke:12:40 @So be ready: for the Son of man is coming at a time when you are not looking for him.

bbe@Luke:12:41 @And Peter said to him, Lord, are these words said to us only, or to all men?

bbe@Luke:12:42 @And the Lord said, Who then is the wise and responsible servant whom his lord will put in control of his family, to give them their food at the right time?

bbe@Luke:12:43 @Happy is that servant who, when his lord comes, is doing so.

bbe@Luke:12:45 @But if that servant says to himself, My lord is a long time coming; and goes about giving blows to the men-servants and the women-servants, feasting and taking overmuch wine;

bbe@Luke:12:46 @The lord of that servant will come at a time when he is not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not ready for him, and he will have him cut in two and will give him his part in the fate of those who have no faith;

bbe@Luke:12:48 @But he who, without knowledge, did things for which punishment is given, will get only a small number of blows. The man to whom much is given, will have to give much; if much is given into his care, of him more will be requested.

bbe@Luke:12:49 @I came to send a fire on the earth, and it may even now have been lighted.

bbe@Luke:12:51 @Is it your opinion that I have come to give peace on earth? I say to you, No, but division:

bbe@Luke:12:52 @For from this time, a family of five in one house will be on opposite sides, three against two and two against three.

bbe@Luke:12:56 @O false ones! the face of the earth and the heaven is clear to you; how is it that the signs of these times are not as clear to you?

bbe@Luke:12:58 @For if anyone has a cause at law against you, and you are going with him before the ruler, make an attempt, on the way, to come to an agreement with him, for if you do not, he may take you before the judge and the judge will give you up to the police, and they will put you in prison.

bbe@Luke:12:59 @I say to you, You will not come out of it till you have made payment to the very last farthing.

bbe@Luke:13:1 @Now some people who were there at that time, gave him an account of how the blood of some Galilaeans had been mixed by Pilate with their offerings.

bbe@Luke:13:3 @I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to the same end.

bbe@Luke:13:4 @Or those eighteen men who were crushed by the fall of the tower of Siloam, were they worse than all the other men living in Jerusalem?

bbe@Luke:13:5 @I say to you, It is not so: but if your hearts are not changed, you will all come to an end in the same way.

bbe@Luke:13:6 @And he made up this story for them: A certain man had a fig-tree in his garden, and he came to get fruit from it, and there was no fruit.

bbe@Luke:13:14 @And the ruler of the Synagogue was angry because Jesus had made her well on the Sabbath, and he said to the people, There are six days in which men may do work: so come on those days to be made well, and not on the Sabbath.

bbe@Luke:13:15 @But the Lord gave him an answer and said, O you false men! do you not, every one of you, on the Sabbath, let loose his ox and his ass and take it to the water?

bbe@Luke:13:17 @And when he said these things, those who were against him were shamed, and all the people were full of joy because of the great things which were done by him.

bbe@Luke:13:19 @It is like a grain of mustard seed which a man took and put in his garden, and it became a tree, and the birds of heaven made their resting-places in its branches.

bbe@Luke:13:21 @It is like leaven, which a woman put into three measures of meal, and it was all leavened.

bbe@Luke:13:23 @And someone said to him, Lord, will only a small number have salvation? And he said to them,

bbe@Luke:13:25 @When the master of the house has got up, and the door has been shut, and you, still outside, give blows on the door, saying, Lord, let us in; he will make answer and say, I have no knowledge of where you come from.

bbe@Luke:13:27 @But he will say, Truly, I have no knowledge of you or where you come from; go away from me, you workers of evil.

bbe@Luke:13:29 @And they will come from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south, and take their places in the kingdom of God.

bbe@Luke:13:31 @At that time, certain Pharisees came to him and said, Go away from this place, because Herod's purpose is to put you to death.

bbe@Luke:13:32 @And he said, Go and say to that fox, I send out evil spirits and do works of mercy today and tomorrow, and on the third day my work will be complete.

bbe@Luke:13:33 @But I have to go on my way today and tomorrow and the third day, for it is not right for a prophet to come to his death outside Jerusalem.

bbe@Luke:13:35 @Now see, your house is waste, and I say to you, You will not see me again till you say, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord.

bbe@Luke:14:1 @And it came about that when he went into the house of one of the chief Pharisees on the Sabbath, to have a meal, they were watching him.

bbe@Luke:14:7 @And he gave teaching in the form of a story to the guests who came to the feast, when he saw how they took the best seats; saying to them,

bbe@Luke:14:8 @When you get a request to come to a feast, do not take the best seat, for a more important man than you may be coming,

bbe@Luke:14:9 @And then the giver of the feast will come to you and say, Give your place to this man; and you, with shame, will have to take the lowest seat.

bbe@Luke:14:10 @But when you come, go and take the lowest seat, so that when the giver of the feast comes, he may say to you, Friend, come up higher; and then you will have honour in the eyes of all the others who are there.

bbe@Luke:14:14 @And you will have a blessing, because they will not be able to give you any payment, and you will get your reward when the upright come back from the dead.

bbe@Luke:14:17 @And when the time had come, he sent his servants to say to them, Come, for all things are now ready

bbe@Luke:14:18 @And they all gave reasons why they were not able to come. The first said to him, I have got a new field, and it is necessary for me to go and see it: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.

bbe@Luke:14:19 @And another said, I have got some cattle, and I am going to make a test of them: I am full of regret that I am unable to come.

bbe@Luke:14:20 @And another said, I have been married, and so I am not able to come.

bbe@Luke:14:21 @And the servant came back and gave his master an account of these things. Then the master of the house was angry and said to the servant, Go out quickly into the streets of the town and get the poor, the blind, and those who are broken in body.

bbe@Luke:14:23 @And the lord said to the servant, Go out into the roads and the fields, and make them come in, so that my house may be full.

bbe@Luke:14:24 @For I say to you that not one of those who were requested to come will have a taste of my feast.

bbe@Luke:14:26 @And turning round, he said to them, If any man comes to me, and has not hate for his father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, and even for his life, he may not be my disciple.

bbe@Luke:14:27 @Whoever does not take up his cross and come after me may not be my disciple.

bbe@Luke:14:31 @Or what king, going to war with another king, will not first take thought if he will be strong enough, with ten thousand men, to keep off him who comes against him with twenty thousand?

bbe@Luke:15:1 @Now all the tax-farmers and sinners came near to give ear to him.

bbe@Luke:15:6 @And when he gets back to his house, he sends for his neighbours and friends, saying to them, Be glad with me, for I have got back my sheep which had gone away.

bbe@Luke:15:7 @I say to you that even so there will be more joy in heaven when one sinner is turned away from his wrongdoing, than for ninety-nine good men, who have no need of a change of heart.

bbe@Luke:15:9 @And when she has it again, she gets her friends and neighbours together, saying, Be glad with me, for I have got back the bit of silver which had gone from me.

bbe@Luke:15:12 @And the younger of them said to his father, Father, give me that part of your property which will be mine. And he made division of his goods between them.

bbe@Luke:15:17 @But when he came to his senses, he said, What numbers of my father's servants have bread enough, and more, while I am near to death here through need of food!

bbe@Luke:15:19 @I am no longer good enough to be named your son: make me like one of your servants

bbe@Luke:15:21 @And his son said to him, Father, I have done wrong, against heaven and in your eyes: I am no longer good enough to be named your son.

bbe@Luke:15:24 @For this, my son, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away from me, and has come back. And they were full of joy.

bbe@Luke:15:25 @Now the older son was in the field: and when he came near the house, the sounds of music and dancing came to his ears.

bbe@Luke:15:27 @And he said to him, Your brother has come; and your father has had the young ox put to death because he has come back safely.

bbe@Luke:15:28 @But he was angry and would not go in; and his father came out and made a request to him to come in.

bbe@Luke:15:29 @But he made answer and said to his father, See, all these years I have been your servant, doing your orders in everything: and you never gave me even a young goat so that I might have a feast with my friends:

bbe@Luke:15:30 @But when this your son came, who has been wasting your property with bad women, you put to death the fat young ox for him.

bbe@Luke:15:31 @And he said to him, Son, you are with me at all times, and all I have is yours.

bbe@Luke:15:32 @But it was right to be glad and to have a feast; for this your brother, who was dead, is living again; he had gone away and has come back.

bbe@Luke:16:1 @And another time he said to the disciples, There was a certain man of great wealth who had a servant; and it was said to him that this servant was wasting his goods.

bbe@Luke:16:2 @And he sent for him and said, What is this which is said about you? give me an account of all you have done, for you will no longer be the manager of my property.

bbe@Luke:16:3 @And the servant said to himself, What am I to do now that my lord takes away my position? I have not enough strength for working in the fields, and I would be shamed if I made requests for money from people in the streets.

bbe@Luke:16:4 @I have come to a decision what to do, so that when I am put out of my position they will take me into their houses.

bbe@Luke:16:6 @And he said, A hundred measures of oil. And he said, Take your account straight away and put down fifty.

bbe@Luke:16:7 @Then he said to another, What is the amount of your debt? And he said, A hundred measures of grain. And he said to him, Take your account and put down eighty.

bbe@Luke:16:9 @And I say to you, Make friends for yourselves through the wealth of this life, so that when it comes to an end, you may be taken into the eternal resting-places.

bbe@Luke:16:15 @And he said, You take care to seem right in the eyes of men, but God sees your hearts: and those things which are important in the opinion of men, are evil in the eyes of God.

bbe@Luke:16:16 @The law and the prophets were till John: but then came the preaching of the kingdom of God, and everyone makes his way into it by force.

bbe@Luke:16:17 @But heaven and earth will come to an end before the smallest letter of the law may be dropped out.

bbe@Luke:16:20 @And a certain poor man, named Lazarus, was stretched out at his door, full of wounds,

bbe@Luke:16:21 @Desiring the broken bits of food which came from the table of the man of wealth; and even the dogs came and put their tongues on his wounds

bbe@Luke:16:22 @And in time the poor man came to his end, and angels took him to Abraham's breast. And the man of wealth came to his end, and was put in the earth.

bbe@Luke:16:24 @And he gave a cry and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me and send Lazarus, so that he may put the end of his finger in water and put it on my tongue, for I am cruelly burning in this flame.

bbe@Luke:16:26 @And in addition, there is a deep division fixed between us and you, so that those who might go from here to you are not able to do so, and no one may come from you to us.

bbe@Luke:16:28 @For I have five brothers; and let him give them an account of these things, so that they may not come to this place of pain.

bbe@Luke:16:30 @And he said, No, father Abraham, but if someone went to them from the dead, their hearts would be changed.

bbe@Luke:16:31 @And he said to him, If they will not give attention to Moses and the prophets, they will not be moved even if someone comes back from the dead.

bbe@Luke:17:1 @And he said to his disciples, It is necessary for causes of trouble to come about, but unhappy is he by whom they come.

bbe@Luke:17:4 @And if he does you wrong seven times in a day, and seven times comes to you and says, I have regret for what I have done; let him have forgiveness.

bbe@Luke:17:7 @But which of you, having a servant who is ploughing or keeping sheep, will say to him, when he comes in from the field, Come now and be seated and have a meal,

bbe@Luke:17:8 @Will he not say, Get a meal for me, and make yourself ready and see to my needs till I have had my food and drink; and after that you may have yours?

bbe@Luke:17:10 @In the same way, when you have done all the things which are given you to do, say, There is no profit in us, for we have only done what we were ordered to do.

bbe@Luke:17:11 @And it came about that when they were on the way to Jerusalem he went through Samaria and Galilee.

bbe@Luke:17:12 @And when he went into a certain small town he came across ten men who were lepers, and they, keeping themselves at a distance,

bbe@Luke:17:13 @Said, in loud voices, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

bbe@Luke:17:17 @And Jesus said, Were there not ten men who were made clean? where are the nine?

bbe@Luke:17:18 @Have not any of them come back to give glory to God, but only this one from a strange land?

bbe@Luke:17:20 @And when the Pharisees put questions to him about when the kingdom of God would come, he gave them an answer and said, The kingdom of God will not come through observation:

bbe@Luke:17:21 @And men will not say, See, it is here! or, There! for the kingdom of God is among you.

bbe@Luke:17:22 @And he said to his disciples, The time will come when you will have a great desire to see one of the days of the Son of man, but you will not see it.

bbe@Luke:17:24 @For as in a thunderstorm the bright light is seen from one end of the sky to the other, so will the Son of man be when his time comes.

bbe@Luke:17:27 @They were feasting and taking wives and getting married, till the day of the overflowing of the waters, when Noah went into the ark, and they all came to destruction.

bbe@Luke:17:28 @In the same way, in the days of Lot; they were feasting and trading, they were planting and building;

bbe@Luke:17:29 @But on the day when Lot went out of Sodom, fire came down from heaven and destruction came on them all.

bbe@Luke:17:34 @I say to you, In that night there will be two men sleeping in one bed, and one will be taken away and the other let go.

bbe@Luke:17:35 @Two women will be crushing grain together; one will be taken away and the other let go.

bbe@Luke:17:37 @And they, answering him, said, Where, Lord? And he said to them, Where the body is, there will the eagles come together.

bbe@Luke:18:1 @And he made a story for them, the point of which was that men were to go on making prayer and not get tired;

bbe@Luke:18:3 @And there was a widow in that town, and she kept on coming to him and saying, Give me my right against the man who has done me wrong.

bbe@Luke:18:4 @And for a time he would not: but later, he said to himself, Though I have no fear of God or respect for man,

bbe@Luke:18:5 @Because this widow is a trouble to me, I will give her her right; for if not, I will be completely tired out by her frequent coming.

bbe@Luke:18:7 @And will not God do right in the cause of his saints, whose cries come day and night to his ears, though he is long in doing it?

bbe@Luke:18:8 @I say to you that he will quickly do right in their cause. But when the Son of man comes, will there be any faith on earth?

bbe@Luke:18:9 @And he made this story for some people who were certain that they were good, and had a low opinion of others:

bbe@Luke:18:10 @Two men went up to the Temple for prayer; one a Pharisee, and the other a tax-farmer

bbe@Luke:18:11 @The Pharisee, taking up his position, said to himself these words: God, I give you praise because I am not like other men, who take more than their right, who are evil-doers, who are untrue to their wives, or even like this tax-farmer.

bbe@Luke:18:13 @The tax-farmer, on the other hand, keeping far away, and not lifting up even his eyes to heaven, made signs of grief and said, God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

bbe@Luke:18:16 @But Jesus sent for them, saying, Let the children come to me, and do not keep them away, for of such is the kingdom of heaven.

bbe@Luke:18:17 @Truly I say to you, Whoever does not put himself under the kingdom of God like a little child, will not come into it at all.

bbe@Luke:18:21 @And he said, All these things I have done from the time when I was a boy.

bbe@Luke:18:22 @And Jesus, hearing it, said to him, One thing you still have need of; get money for your goods, and give it away to the poor, and you will have wealth in heaven; and come after me.

bbe@Luke:18:23 @But at these words he became very sad, for he had great wealth.

bbe@Luke:18:25 @It is simpler for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a man who has much money to come into the kingdom of God.

bbe@Luke:18:28 @And Peter said, See, we have given up what is ours to come after you.

bbe@Luke:18:30 @Who will not get much more in this time, and in the world to come, eternal life.

bbe@Luke:18:32 @For he will be given up to the Gentiles, and will be made sport of and put to shame:

bbe@Luke:18:33 @And he will be given cruel blows and put to death, and on the third day he will come back to life.

bbe@Luke:18:35 @And it came about that when he got near Jericho, a certain blind man was seated by the side of the road, making requests for money from those who went by.

bbe@Luke:18:38 @And he said in a loud voice, Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me.

bbe@Luke:18:39 @And those who were in front made protests and said to him, Be quiet: but he said all the more, O Son of David, have mercy on me.

bbe@Luke:18:40 @And Jesus, stopping, gave orders that he was to come to him, and when he came near, he said to him,

bbe@Luke:18:41 @What would you have me do for you? And he said, Lord, that I may be able to see again.

bbe@Luke:19:2 @A man, named Zacchaeus, who was the chief tax-farmer, and a man of wealth,

bbe@Luke:19:5 @And when Jesus came to the place, looking up, he said to him, Zacchaeus, be quick and come down, for I am coming to your house today.

bbe@Luke:19:6 @And he came down quickly, and took him into his house with joy.

bbe@Luke:19:8 @And Zacchaeus, waiting before him, said to the Lord, See, Lord, half of my goods I give to the poor, and if I have taken anything from anyone wrongly, I give him back four times as much.

bbe@Luke:19:9 @And Jesus said to him, Today salvation has come to this house, for even he is a son of Abraham.

bbe@Luke:19:10 @For the Son of man came to make search for those who are wandering from the way, and to be their Saviour

bbe@Luke:19:12 @So he said, A certain man of high birth went into a far-away country to get a kingdom for himself, and to come back.

bbe@Luke:19:13 @And he sent for ten of his servants and gave them ten pounds and said to them, Do business with this till I come.

bbe@Luke:19:15 @And when he came back again, having got his kingdom, he gave orders for those servants to whom he had given the money to come to him, so that he might have an account of what business they had done.

bbe@Luke:19:16 @And the first came before him, saying, Lord, your pound has made ten pounds.

bbe@Luke:19:18 @And another came, saying, Your pound has made five pounds.

bbe@Luke:19:20 @And another came, saying, Lord, here is your pound, which I put away in a cloth;

bbe@Luke:19:23 @Why then did you not put my money in a bank, so that when I came I would get it back with interest?

bbe@Luke:19:27 @And as for those who were against me, who would not have me for their ruler, let them come here, and be put to death before me.

bbe@Luke:19:29 @And it came about that when he got near Beth-phage and Bethany by the mountain which is named the Mountain of Olives, he sent two of the disciples,

bbe@Luke:19:37 @And when he came near the foot of the Mountain of Olives, all the disciples with loud voices gave praise to God with joy, because of all the great works which they had seen;

bbe@Luke:19:38 @Saying, A blessing on the King who comes in the name of the Lord; peace in heaven and glory in the highest.

bbe@Luke:19:39 @And some of the Pharisees among the people said to him, Master, make your disciples be quiet.

bbe@Luke:19:40 @And he said in answer, I say to you, if these men keep quiet, the very stones will be crying out.

bbe@Luke:19:41 @And when he got near and saw the town, he was overcome with weeping for it,

bbe@Luke:19:43 @For the time will come when your attackers will put a wall round you, and come all round you and keep you in on every side,

bbe@Luke:19:44 @And will make you level with the earth, and your children with you; and there will not be one stone resting on another in you, because you did not see that it was your day of mercy.

bbe@Luke:20:1 @And it came about on one of those days, when he was teaching the people in the Temple and preaching the good news,

bbe@Luke:20:2 @That the chief priests and the scribes and the rulers of the people came to him and said, Make clear to us by what authority you do these things and who gave you this authority.

bbe@Luke:20:3 @And in answer he said to them, I will put a question to you, and do you give me an answer:

bbe@Luke:20:4 @The baptism of John, was it from heaven or of men?

bbe@Luke:20:6 @But if we say, Of men; we will be stoned by the people, for they are certain that John was a prophet.

bbe@Luke:20:7 @And they made answer that they had no idea where it came from.

bbe@Luke:20:9 @And he gave the people this story: A man made a vine-garden and gave the use of it to some field-workers and went into another country for a long time.

bbe@Luke:20:10 @And at the right time he sent a servant to the workers to get part of the fruit from the vines; but the workmen gave him blows and sent him away with nothing.

bbe@Luke:20:11 @And he sent another servant, and they gave blows to him in the same way, and put shame on him, and sent him away with nothing.

bbe@Luke:20:14 @But when the workmen saw him, they said to one another, This is he who will one day be the owner of the property: let us put him to death and the heritage will be ours.

bbe@Luke:20:15 @And driving him out of the garden they put him to death. Now what will the lord do to these workmen?

bbe@Luke:20:16 @He will come and put them to destruction and give the garden to others. And when he said this, they said, May it not be so.

bbe@Luke:20:17 @But he, looking on them, said, Is it not in the Writings, The stone which the builders put on one side, the same has become the chief stone of the building?

bbe@Luke:20:18 @Everyone falling on that stone will be broken, but the man on whom the stone comes down will be crushed to dust.

bbe@Luke:20:20 @And they kept watch on him, and sent out secret representatives, who were acting the part of good men, in order that they might get something from his words, on account of which they might give him up to the government and into the power of the ruler.

bbe@Luke:20:22 @Is it right for us to make payment of taxes to Caesar or not?

bbe@Luke:20:24 @Let me see a penny. Whose image and name are on it? And they said, Caesar's.

bbe@Luke:20:27 @And some of the Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no coming back from the dead; and they said to him,

bbe@Luke:20:28 @Master, Moses said that if a man's brother comes to his end, having a wife, but no children, his brother is to take the wife, and get a family for his brother.

bbe@Luke:20:29 @Now there were seven brothers, and the first had a wife and came to his end, having no children;

bbe@Luke:20:31 @And the third took her; and in the same way, all the seven, without having any children, came to their end.

bbe@Luke:20:32 @And last of all, the woman came to her end.

bbe@Luke:20:33 @When they come back from the dead, whose wife will she be? for all the seven had her.

bbe@Luke:20:35 @But those to whom is given the reward of the world to come, and to come back from the dead, have no wives, and are not married;

bbe@Luke:20:36 @And death has no more power over them, for they are equal to the angels, and are sons of God, being of those who will come back from the dead.

bbe@Luke:20:37 @But even Moses made it clear that the dead come back to life, saying, in the story of the burning thorn-tree, The Lord, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.

bbe@Luke:20:38 @Now he is not the God of the dead but of the living: for all men are living to him.

bbe@Luke:20:39 @And some of the scribes, in answer to this, said, Master, you have said well.

bbe@Luke:20:44 @David then gives him the name of Lord, so how is it possible for him to be his son?

bbe@Luke:20:47 @Who take the property of widows and before the eyes of men make long prayers; they will get a greater punishment.

bbe@Luke:21:1 @And looking up, he saw the men of wealth putting their offerings in the money-box.

bbe@Luke:21:5 @And some were talking about the Temple, how it was made fair with beautiful stones and with offerings, but he said,

bbe@Luke:21:6 @As for these things which you see, the days will come when not one stone will be resting on another, but all will be broken down.

bbe@Luke:21:8 @And he said, Take care that you are not tricked: for a number of people will come in my name, saying, I am he; and, The time is near: do not go after them.

bbe@Luke:21:9 @And when news of wars and troubled times comes to your ears, have no fear; for these things have to be, but the end will not be now.

bbe@Luke:21:11 @There will be great earth-shocks and outbursts of disease in a number of places, and men will be without food; and there will be wonders and great signs from heaven.

bbe@Luke:21:12 @But before all this, they will take you and be very cruel to you, giving you up to the Synagogues and to prisons, taking you before kings and rulers, because of my name.

bbe@Luke:21:14 @So take care not to be troubled before the time comes, about what answers you will give:

bbe@Luke:21:16 @But you will be given up even by your fathers and mothers, your brothers and relations and friends; and some of you will be put to death.

bbe@Luke:21:17 @And you will be hated by all men, because of me.

bbe@Luke:21:18 @But not a hair of your head will come to destruction.

bbe@Luke:21:21 @Then let those who are in Judaea go in flight to the mountains; and those who are in the middle of the town go out; and let not those who are in the country come in.

bbe@Luke:21:22 @For these are the days of punishment, in which all the things in the Writings will be put into effect.

bbe@Luke:21:23 @It will be hard for women who are with child, and for her with a baby at the breast, in those days. For great trouble will come on the land, and wrath on this people.

bbe@Luke:21:24 @And they will be put to death with the sword, and will be taken as prisoners into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be crushed under the feet of the Gentiles, till the times of the Gentiles are complete.

bbe@Luke:21:26 @Men's strength will go from them in fear and in waiting for the things which are coming on the earth; for the powers of the heavens will be moved.

bbe@Luke:21:28 @But when these things come about, let your heads be lifted up, because your salvation is near.

bbe@Luke:21:30 @When they put out their young leaves, you take note of it, and it is clear to you that summer is coming.

bbe@Luke:21:31 @In the same way, when you see these things taking place you may be certain that the kingdom of God is near.

bbe@Luke:21:32 @Truly I say to you, This generation will not come to an end till all things are complete.

bbe@Luke:21:33 @Heaven and earth will come to an end, but my words will not come to an end.

bbe@Luke:21:34 @But give attention to yourselves, for fear that your hearts become over-full of the pleasures of food and wine, and the cares of this life, and that day may come on you suddenly, and take you as in a net:

bbe@Luke:21:35 @For so it will come on all those who are living on the face of all the earth.

bbe@Luke:21:36 @But keep watch at all times with prayer, that you may be strong enough to come through all these things and take your place before the Son of man.

bbe@Luke:21:37 @And every day he was teaching in the Temple and every night he went out to the mountain which is named the Mountain of Olives to take his rest.

bbe@Luke:21:38 @And all the people came early in the morning to give ear to his words in the Temple.

bbe@Luke:22:3 @And Satan came into Judas Iscariot, who was one of the twelve.

bbe@Luke:22:6 @And he made an agreement with them to give him up to them, if he got a chance, when the people were not present.

bbe@Luke:22:7 @And the day of unleavened bread came, when the Passover lamb is put to death.

bbe@Luke:22:14 @And when the time had come, he took his seat, and the Apostles with him.

bbe@Luke:22:15 @And he said, I have had a great desire to keep this Passover with you before I come to my death;

bbe@Luke:22:18 @For I say to you, I will not take of the fruit of the vine till the kingdom of God has come.

bbe@Luke:22:19 @And he took bread and, having given praise, he gave it to them when it had been broken, saying, This is my body, which is given for you: do this in memory of me.

bbe@Luke:22:20 @And in the same way, after the meal, he took the cup, saying, This cup is the new testament, made with my blood which is given for you.

bbe@Luke:22:21 @But the hand of him who is false to me is with me at the table.

bbe@Luke:22:24 @And there was an argument among them about which of them was the greatest.

bbe@Luke:22:25 @And he said, The kings of the Gentiles are lords over them, and those who have authority are given names of honour.

bbe@Luke:22:26 @But let it not be so with you; but he who is greater, let him become like the younger; and he who is chief, like a servant.

bbe@Luke:22:27 @For which is greater, the guest who is seated at a meal or the servant who is waiting on him? is it not the guest? but I am among you as a servant.

bbe@Luke:22:28 @But you are those who have kept with me through my troubles;

bbe@Luke:22:29 @And I will give you a kingdom as my Father has given one to me,

bbe@Luke:22:34 @And he said, I say to you, Peter, before the cock's second cry today, you will say three times that you have no knowledge of me.

bbe@Luke:22:37 @For I say to you that these words will be put into effect in me, And he was numbered among the evil-doers: for what has been said in the Writings about me has an end.

bbe@Luke:22:39 @And he came out, and went, as his way was, to the Mountain of Olives, and the disciples went with him.

bbe@Luke:22:40 @And when he came to the place, he said to them, Make a prayer that you may not be put to the test.

bbe@Luke:22:42 @Father, if it is your pleasure, take this cup from me: but still, let your pleasure, not mine, be done.

bbe@Luke:22:43 @And an angel from heaven came to him, to give him strength.

bbe@Luke:22:44 @And being in great trouble of soul, the force of his prayer became stronger, and great drops, like blood, came from him, falling to the earth.

bbe@Luke:22:45 @And, getting up from prayer, he came to the disciples, and saw that they were sleeping for sorrow.

bbe@Luke:22:47 @And while he was saying these words, there came a band of people, and Judas, one of the twelve, was in front of them, and he came near to Jesus to give him a kiss.

bbe@Luke:22:52 @And Jesus said to the chief priests and the captains of the Temple and the rulers, who had come against him, Have you come out as against a thief, with swords and sticks?

bbe@Luke:22:53 @When I was in the Temple with you every day, your hands were not stretched out against me: but this is your hour, and the authority of the dark power.

bbe@Luke:22:58 @And after a little time, another saw him and said, You are one of them; and he said, Man, I am not.

bbe@Luke:22:60 @And Peter said, Man, I have no knowledge of these things of which you are talking. And straight away, while he was saying these words, there came the cry of a cock.

bbe@Luke:22:61 @And the Lord, turning, gave Peter a look. And the words of the Lord came to Peter's mind, how he had said, This night, before the hour of the cock's cry, you will be false to me three times.

bbe@Luke:22:63 @And the men in whose hands Jesus was, made sport of him and gave him blows.

bbe@Luke:22:66 @And when it was day, the rulers of the people came together, with the chief priests and the scribes, and they took him before their Sanhedrin, saying,

bbe@Luke:23:2 @And they made statements against him, saying, This man has to our knowledge been teaching our nation to do wrong, and not to make payment of taxes to Caesar, even saying that he himself is Christ, a king.

bbe@Luke:23:5 @But they became more violent than before, saying, He has made trouble among the people, teaching through all Judaea from Galilee to this place.

bbe@Luke:23:7 @And when he saw that he was under the authority of Herod, he sent him to Herod, who was in Jerusalem himself at that time.

bbe@Luke:23:8 @Now when Herod saw Jesus he was very glad, having for a long time had a desire to see him, for he had had accounts of him, and was hoping to see some wonders done by him.

bbe@Luke:23:10 @And the chief priests and the scribes were there, making statements against him violently.

bbe@Luke:23:11 @And Herod, with the men of his army, put shame on him and made sport of him, and dressing him in shining robes, he sent him back to Pilate.

bbe@Luke:23:12 @And that day Herod and Pilate became friends with one another, for before they had been against one another.

bbe@Luke:23:15 @And Herod is of the same opinion, for he has sent him back to us; for, you see, he has done nothing for which I might put him to death.

bbe@Luke:23:16 @And so I will give him punishment and let him go.

bbe@Luke:23:19 @Now this man was in prison because of an attack against the government in the town, in which there had been loss of life.

bbe@Luke:23:22 @And he said to them a third time, Why, what evil has he done? I see no reason for putting him to death: I will give him punishment and let him go.

bbe@Luke:23:25 @And in answer to their request, he let that man go free who had been in prison for acting against the government and causing death, and Jesus he gave up to their pleasure.

bbe@Luke:23:27 @And a great band of people went after him, and of women making signs of grief and weeping for him.

bbe@Luke:23:28 @But Jesus, turning to them, said, Daughters of Jerusalem, let not your weeping be for me, but for yourselves and for your children.

bbe@Luke:23:30 @And they will say to the mountains, Come down on us, and to the hills, Be a cover over us.

bbe@Luke:23:33 @And when they came to the place which is named Golgotha, they put him on the cross, and the evil-doers, one on the right side, and the other on the left.

bbe@Luke:23:35 @And the people were looking on. And the rulers made sport of him, saying, He was a saviour of others; let him do something for himself, if he is the Christ, the man of God's selection.

bbe@Luke:23:36 @And the men of the army made sport of him, coming to him and giving him bitter wine,

bbe@Luke:23:40 @But the other, protesting, said, Have you no fear of God? for you have a part in the same punishment,

bbe@Luke:23:42 @And he said, Jesus, keep me in mind when you come in your kingdom.

bbe@Luke:23:43 @And he said to him, Truly I say to you, Today you will be with me in Paradise.

bbe@Luke:23:48 @And all the people who had come together to see it, when they saw the things which were done, went back again making signs of grief.

bbe@Luke:23:49 @And all his friends and the women who came with him from Galilee, were waiting at a distance, watching these things.

bbe@Luke:23:50 @Now there was a man named Joseph, a man of authority and a good and upright man

bbe@Luke:23:55 @And the women who had come with him from Galilee went after him and saw the place and how his body had been put to rest;

bbe@Luke:23:56 @And they went back and got ready spices and perfumes; and on the Sabbath they took their rest, in agreement with the law.

bbe@Luke:24:1 @But on the first day of the week, at dawn, they came to the place where his body had been put, taking the spices which they had got ready.

bbe@Luke:24:4 @And while they were in doubt about it, they saw two men in shining clothing by them:

bbe@Luke:24:6 @He is not here, he has come back to life: have in mind what he said to you when he was still in Galilee, saying,

bbe@Luke:24:7 @The Son of man will be given up into the hands of evil-doers, and be put to death on the cross, and on the third day he will come back to life.

bbe@Luke:24:8 @And his words came back into their minds,

bbe@Luke:24:10 @Now they were Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary, the mother of James: and the other women with them said these things to the Apostles.

bbe@Luke:24:11 @But these words seemed foolish to them, and they had no belief in them.

bbe@Luke:24:13 @And then, two of them, on that very day, were going to a little town named Emmaus, which was about seven miles from Jerusalem.

bbe@Luke:24:15 @And while they were talking and questioning together, Jesus himself came near and went with them.

bbe@Luke:24:18 @Then stopping, and looking sadly at him, one of them, named Cleopas, said to him, Are you the only man living in Jerusalem who has not had news of the things which have taken place there at this time?

bbe@Luke:24:21 @But we were hoping that he would be the Saviour of Israel. In addition to all this he has now let three days go by from the time when these things took place;

bbe@Luke:24:22 @And certain women among us gave us cause for wonder, for they went early to the place where his body had been put,

bbe@Luke:24:23 @And it was not there; then they came saying that they had seen a vision of angels who said that he was living.

bbe@Luke:24:24 @And some of those who were with us went to the place, and saw that it was as the women had said, but him they did not see.

bbe@Luke:24:25 @And he said, O foolish men! how slow you are to give belief to what the prophets have said.

bbe@Luke:24:26 @Was it not necessary for the Christ to go through these things, and to come into his glory?

bbe@Luke:24:28 @And they came near the town to which they were going, and he seemed as if he was going on;

bbe@Luke:24:33 @And that very hour they got up and went back to Jerusalem, where the eleven and the others had come together.

bbe@Luke:24:34 @And they said to them, The Lord has truly come back to life again, and Simon has seen him.

bbe@Luke:24:39 @See; my hands and my feet: it is I myself; put your hands on me and make certain; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.

bbe@Luke:24:43 @And before their eyes he took a meal.

bbe@Luke:24:44 @And he said to them, These are the words which I said to you when I was still with you, how it was necessary for all the things which are in the writings of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms about me, to be put into effect.

bbe@Luke:24:46 @And he said to them, So it is in the Writings that the Christ would undergo death, and come back to life again on the third day;

bbe@Luke:24:47 @And that teaching about a change of heart and forgiveness of sins is to be given to Jerusalem first and to all nations in his name.

bbe@Luke:24:49 @And now I will send to you what my father has undertaken to give you, but do not go from the town, till the power from heaven comes to you.

bbe@Luke:24:53 @And they were in the Temple at all times, giving praise to God.

bbe@John:1:3 @All things came into existence through him, and without him nothing was.

bbe@John:1:4 @What came into existence in him was life, and the life was the light of men.

bbe@John:1:5 @And the light goes on shining in the dark; it is not overcome by the dark.

bbe@John:1:6 @There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.

bbe@John:1:7 @He came for witness, to give witness about the light, so that all men might have faith through him.

bbe@John:1:10 @He was in the world, the world which came into being through him, but the world had no knowledge of him.

bbe@John:1:11 @He came to the things which were his and his people did not take him to their hearts.

bbe@John:1:12 @To all those who did so take him, however, he gave the right of becoming children of God--that is, to those who had faith in his name:

bbe@John:1:14 @And so the Word became flesh and took a place among us for a time; and we saw his glory--such glory as is given to an only son by his father--saw it to be true and full of grace.

bbe@John:1:15 @John gave witness about him, crying, This is he of whom I said, He who is coming after me is put over me because he was in existence before me.

bbe@John:1:16 @From his full measure we have all been given grace on grace.

bbe@John:1:18 @No man has seen God at any time; the only Son, who is on the breast of the Father, he has made clear what God is.

bbe@John:1:22 @So they said to him, Who are you then? We have to give some answer to those who sent us. What have you to say about yourself?

bbe@John:1:24 @Those who had been sent came from the Pharisees.

bbe@John:1:27 @It is he who is coming after me; I am not good enough to undo his shoes.

bbe@John:1:30 @This is he of whom I said, One is coming after me who is put over me because he was in existence before me.

bbe@John:1:31 @I myself had no knowledge of him, but I came giving baptism with water so that he might be seen openly by Israel.

bbe@John:1:33 @I had no knowledge who he was, but he who sent me to give baptism with water said to me, The one on whom you see the Spirit coming down and resting, it is he who gives baptism with the Holy Spirit.

bbe@John:1:40 @He said to them, Come and see. They went with him then and saw where he was living; and they were with him all that day: it was then about the tenth hour of the day.

bbe@John:1:41 @Andrew, Simon Peter's brother, was one of the two men who, hearing what John said, went after Jesus.

bbe@John:1:42 @Early in the morning he came across his brother and said to him, We have made discovery! It is the Messiah! (which is to say, the Christ).

bbe@John:1:43 @And he took him to Jesus. Looking at him fixedly Jesus said, You are Simon, the son of John; your name will be Cephas (which is to say, Peter).

bbe@John:1:44 @The day after this, Jesus had a desire to go into Galilee. He came across Philip and said to him, Come and be my disciple.

bbe@John:1:45 @Now Philip's town was Beth-saida, where Andrew and Peter came from.

bbe@John:1:46 @Philip came across Nathanael and said to him, We have made a discovery! It is he of whom Moses, in the law, and the prophets were writing, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.

bbe@John:1:47 @Nazareth! said Nathanael, Is it possible for any good to come out of Nazareth? Philip said to him, Come and see.

bbe@John:1:49 @Nathanael said to him, Where did you get knowledge of me? In answer Jesus said, Before Philip was talking with you, while you were still under the fig-tree, I saw you.

bbe@John:2:2 @And Jesus with his disciples came as guests.

bbe@John:2:4 @Jesus said to her, Woman, this is not your business; my time is still to come.

bbe@John:2:8 @Then he said to them, Now take some, and give it to the master of the feast. So they took it to him.

bbe@John:2:9 @After tasting the water which had now become wine, the master of the feast (having no idea where it came from, though it was clear to the servants who took the water out) sent for the newly-married man,

bbe@John:2:13 @The time of the Passover of the Jews was near and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

bbe@John:2:14 @And there in the Temple he saw men trading in oxen and sheep and doves, and he saw the changers of money in their seats:

bbe@John:2:17 @And it came to the minds of the disciples that the Writings say, I am on fire with passion for your house.

bbe@John:2:22 @So when he had come back again from the dead, the memory of these words came back to the disciples, and they had faith in the holy Writings and in the word which Jesus had said.

bbe@John:2:23 @Now while he was in Jerusalem at the feast of the Passover, a great number of people came to have faith in his name, after seeing the signs which he did.

bbe@John:3:1 @Now there was among the Pharisees a man named Nicodemus, who was one of the rulers of the Jews.

bbe@John:3:2 @He came to Jesus by night and said to him, Rabbi, we are certain that you have come from God as a teacher, because no man would be able to do these signs which you do if God was not with him.

bbe@John:3:4 @Nicodemus said to him, How is it possible for a man to be given birth when he is old? Is he able to go into his mother's body a second time and come to birth again?

bbe@John:3:8 @The wind goes where its pleasure takes it, and the sound of it comes to your ears, but you are unable to say where it comes from and where it goes: so it is with everyone whose birth is from the Spirit.

bbe@John:3:13 @And no one has ever gone up to heaven but he who came down from heaven, the Son of man.

bbe@John:3:16 @For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.

bbe@John:3:18 @The man who has faith in him does not come up to be judged; but he who has no faith in him has been judged even now, because he has no faith in the name of the only Son of God.

bbe@John:3:19 @And this is the test by which men are judged: the light has come into the world and men have more love for the dark than for the light, because their acts are evil.

bbe@John:3:20 @The light is hated by everyone whose acts are evil and he does not come to the light for fear that his acts will be seen.

bbe@John:3:21 @But he whose life is true comes to the light, so that it may be clearly seen that his acts have been done by the help of God.

bbe@John:3:22 @After these things Jesus and his disciples went into the land of Judaea, and there he was with them for some time, giving baptism.

bbe@John:3:23 @Now John was then giving baptism at Aenon near Salim, because there was much water there; and people came and were given baptism.

bbe@John:3:24 @For at this time John had not been put into prison.

bbe@John:3:25 @Then a question came up between John's disciples and a Jew about washing.

bbe@John:3:30 @He has to become greater while I become less.

bbe@John:3:31 @He who comes from heaven is greater than all others: he who comes from earth is of the earth, and of the earth are his words: he who comes from heaven is over all.

bbe@John:3:32 @He gives witness of what he has seen and of what has come to his ears; and no man takes his witness as true.

bbe@John:3:34 @For he whom God has sent says God's words; and God does not give him the Spirit by measure.

bbe@John:4:1 @Now when it was clear to the Lord that word had come to the ears of the Pharisees that Jesus was making more disciples than John and was giving them baptism

bbe@John:4:5 @So he came to a town of Samaria which was named Sychar, near to the bit of land which Jacob gave to his son Joseph:

bbe@John:4:7 @A woman of Samaria came to get water, and Jesus said to her, Give me some water.

bbe@John:4:9 @The woman of Samaria said to him, Why do you, a Jew, make a request for water to me, a woman of Samaria? She said this because Jews have nothing to do with the people of Samaria.

bbe@John:4:10 @In answer Jesus said, If you had knowledge of what God gives freely and who it is who says to you, Give me water, you would make your prayer to him, and he would give you living water

bbe@John:4:14 @But whoever takes the water I give him will never be in need of drink again; for the water I give him will become in him a fountain of eternal life.

bbe@John:4:15 @The woman said to him, Sir, give me this water, so that I may not be in need again of drink and will not have to come all this way for it.

bbe@John:4:16 @Jesus said to her, Go, get your husband and come back here with him.

bbe@John:4:21 @Jesus said to her, Woman, take my word for this; the time is coming when you will not give worship to the Father on this mountain or in Jerusalem.

bbe@John:4:22 @You give worship, but without knowledge of what you are worshipping: we give worship to what we have knowledge of: for salvation comes from the Jews.

bbe@John:4:23 @But the time is coming, and is even now here, when the true worshippers will give worship to the Father in the true way of the spirit, for these are the worshippers desired by the Father.

bbe@John:4:25 @The woman said to him, I am certain that the Messiah, who is named Christ, is coming; when he comes he will make all things clear to us.

bbe@John:4:27 @At that point the disciples came back, and they were surprised to see him talking to a woman; but not one of them said to him, What is your purpose? or, Why are you talking to her?

bbe@John:4:29 @Come and see a man who has been talking to me of everything I ever did! Is it possible that this is the Christ?

bbe@John:4:30 @So they went out of the town and came to him.

bbe@John:4:31 @While this was taking place, the disciples were saying to Jesus, Master, take some food.

bbe@John:4:34 @Jesus said, My food is to do the pleasure of him who sent me and to make his work complete.

bbe@John:4:35 @You would say, Four months from now is the time of the grain-cutting. Take a look, I say to you, at the fields; they are even now white for cutting.

bbe@John:4:38 @I sent you to get in grain which you had no hand in planting: other men did that work, and you take the reward.

bbe@John:4:39 @Now a number of the people of that town had faith in him because of the woman's witness: He has been talking to me of everything I ever did.

bbe@John:4:40 @So when the people came to him they made request to him to be among them for a time, and he was there two days.

bbe@John:4:41 @And a great number more of them came to have faith in him because of what he himself said.

bbe@John:4:45 @So when he came into Galilee, the Galilaeans took him to their hearts because of the things which they had seen him do in Jerusalem at the feast--they themselves having been there at the feast.

bbe@John:4:46 @So he came to Cana in Galilee, where he had made the water wine. And there was a certain man of high position whose son was ill at Capernaum.

bbe@John:4:47 @When it came to his ears that Jesus had come from Judaea into Galilee, he went to him and made a request that he would come down to his son, who was near to death, and make him well.

bbe@John:4:49 @The man said, Sir, come down before my boy is dead.

bbe@John:4:51 @And while he was going down, his servants came to him and said, Your boy is living.

bbe@John:4:52 @So he put a question to them as to the hour when he became better; and they said to him, The disease went from him yesterday at the seventh hour.

bbe@John:4:53 @It was clear then to the father that this was the very time at which Jesus said to him, Your son is living. And he had faith in Jesus, he and all his family.

bbe@John:4:54 @Now this is the second sign which Jesus did after he had come out of Judaea into Galilee.

bbe@John:5:2 @Now in Jerusalem near the sheep-market there is a public bath which in Hebrew is named Beth-zatha. It has five doorways.

bbe@John:5:3 @In these doorways there were a great number of people with different diseases: some unable to see, some without the power of walking, some with wasted bodies.

bbe@John:5:6 @When Jesus saw him there on the floor it was clear to him that he had been now a long time in that condition, and so he said to the man, Is it your desire to get well?

bbe@John:5:7 @The ill man said in answer, Sir, I have nobody to put me into the bath when the water is moving; and while I am on the way down some other person gets in before me.

bbe@John:5:9 @And the man became well straight away, and took up his bed and went. Now that day was the Sabbath.

bbe@John:5:11 @He said to them, But he who made me well, said to me, Take up your bed and go.

bbe@John:5:14 @After a time Jesus came across him in the Temple and said to him, See, you are well and strong; do no more sin for fear a worse thing comes to you.

bbe@John:5:19 @So Jesus made answer and said, Truly I say to you, The Son is not able to do anything himself; he is able to do only what he sees the Father doing; whatever the Father does the Son does it in the same way.

bbe@John:5:21 @In the same way, as the Father gives life to the dead, even so the Son gives life to those to whom he is pleased to give it.

bbe@John:5:22 @The Father is not the judge of men, but he has given all decisions into the hands of the Son;

bbe@John:5:23 @So that all men may give honour to the Son even as they give honour to the Father. He who gives no honour to the Son gives no honour to the Father who sent him.

bbe@John:5:24 @Truly I say to you, The man whose ears are open to my word and who has faith in him who sent me, has eternal life; he will not be judged, but has come from death into life.

bbe@John:5:25 @Truly I say to you, The time is coming, it has even now come, when the voice of the Son of God will come to the ears of the dead, and those hearing it will have life.

bbe@John:5:28 @Do not be surprised at this: for the time is coming when his voice will come to all who are in the place of the dead,

bbe@John:5:29 @And they will come out; those who have done good, into the new life; and those who have done evil, to be judged.

bbe@John:5:30 @Of myself I am unable to do anything: as the voice comes to me so I give a decision: and my decision is right because I have no desire to do what is pleasing to myself, but only what is pleasing to him who sent me.

bbe@John:5:32 @There is another who gives witness about me and I am certain that the witness he gives about me is true.

bbe@John:5:35 @He was a burning and shining light, and for a time you were ready to be happy in his light.

bbe@John:5:36 @But the witness which I have is greater than that of John: the work which the Father has given me to do, the very work which I am now doing, is a witness that the Father has sent me.

bbe@John:5:37 @And the Father himself who sent me has given witness about me. Not one of you has ever given ear to his voice; his form you have not seen.

bbe@John:5:39 @You make search in the holy Writings, in the belief that through them you get eternal life; and it is those Writings which give witness about me.

bbe@John:5:40 @And still you have no desire to come to me so that you may have life.

bbe@John:5:41 @I do not take honour from men;

bbe@John:5:43 @I have come in my Father's name, and your hearts are not open to me. If another comes with no other authority but himself, you will give him your approval.

bbe@John:5:44 @How is it possible for you to have faith while you take honour one from another and have no desire for the honour which comes from the only God?

bbe@John:5:46 @If you had belief in Moses you would have belief in me; for his writings are about me.

bbe@John:6:11 @Then Jesus took the cakes and having given praise to God, he gave them to the people who were seated, and the fishes in the same way, as much as they had need of.

bbe@John:6:14 @And when the people saw the sign which he had done, they said, Truly, this is the prophet who is to come into the world

bbe@John:6:15 @Now when Jesus saw that the people were about to come and take him by force to make him a king, he went away again up the mountain by himself.

bbe@John:6:16 @When evening came the disciples went down to the sea;

bbe@John:6:17 @And they took a boat and went across the sea in the direction of Capernaum. By then it was dark and still Jesus had not come to them.

bbe@John:6:23 @Some other boats, however, came from Tiberias near to the place where they had taken the bread after the Lord had given praise.

bbe@John:6:25 @And when they came across him on the other side of the sea they said, Rabbi, when did you come here?

bbe@John:6:26 @Jesus, answering them, said, Truly I say to you, You come after me, not because you saw signs, but because you were given the bread and had enough.

bbe@John:6:27 @Let your work not be for the food which comes to an end, but for the food which goes on for eternal life, which the Son of man will give to you, for on him has God the Father put his mark.

bbe@John:6:33 @The bread of God is the bread which comes down out of heaven and gives life to the world.

bbe@John:6:35 @And this was the answer of Jesus: I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never be in need of food, and he who has faith in me will never be in need of drink.

bbe@John:6:36 @But it is as I said to you: you have seen me, and still you have no faith.

bbe@John:6:37 @Whatever the Father gives to me will come to me; and I will not send away anyone who comes to me.

bbe@John:6:38 @For I have come down from heaven, not to do my pleasure, but the pleasure of him who sent me.

bbe@John:6:39 @And this is the pleasure of him who sent me, that I am not to let out of my hands anything which he has given me, but I am to give it new life on the last day.

bbe@John:6:41 @Now the Jews said bitter things about Jesus because of his words, I am the bread which came down from heaven.

bbe@John:6:42 @And they said, Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we have seen? How is it then that he now says, I have come down from heaven?

bbe@John:6:43 @Jesus made answer and said, Do not say things against me, one to another.

bbe@John:6:44 @No man is able to come to me if the Father who sent me does not give him the desire to come: and I will take him up from the dead on the last day.

bbe@John:6:45 @The writings of the prophets say, And they will all have teaching from God. Everyone whose ears have been open to the teaching of the Father comes to me.

bbe@John:6:47 @Truly I say to you, He who has faith in me has eternal life.

bbe@John:6:50 @The bread which comes from heaven is such bread that a man may take it for food and never see death.

bbe@John:6:51 @I am the living bread which has come from heaven: if any man takes this bread for food he will have life for ever: and more than this, the bread which I will give is my flesh which I will give for the life of the world.

bbe@John:6:56 @He who takes my flesh for food and my blood for drink is in me and I in him.

bbe@John:6:57 @As the living Father has sent me, and I have life because of the Father, even so he who takes me for his food will have life because of me.

bbe@John:6:58 @This is the bread which has come down from heaven. It is not like the food which your fathers had: they took of the manna, and are dead; but he who takes this bread for food will have life for ever.

bbe@John:6:61 @When Jesus became conscious that his disciples were protesting about what he said, he said to them, Does this give you trouble?

bbe@John:6:64 @But still some of you have no faith. For it was clear to Jesus from the first who they were who had no faith, and who it was who would be false to him.

bbe@John:6:65 @And he said, This is why I said to you, No man is able to come to me if he is not given the power to do so by the Father.

bbe@John:7:4 @Because no man does things secretly if he has a desire that men may have knowledge of him. If you do these things, let yourself be seen by all men.

bbe@John:7:6 @Jesus said to them, My time is still to come, but any time is good for you.

bbe@John:7:8 @Go you up to the feast: I am not going up now to the feast because my time has not fully come.

bbe@John:7:12 @And there was much discussion about him among the mass of the people. Some said, He is a good man; but others said, No, he is giving people false ideas.

bbe@John:7:16 @Jesus gave them this answer: It is not my teaching, but his who sent me

bbe@John:7:17 @If any man is ready to do God's pleasure he will have knowledge of the teaching and of where it comes from--from God or from myself.

bbe@John:7:18 @The man whose words come from himself is looking for glory for himself, but he who is looking for the glory of him who sent him--that man is true and there is no evil in him.

bbe@John:7:19 @Did not Moses give you the law? Even so, not one of you keeps the law. Why have you a desire to put me to death?

bbe@John:7:22 @Moses gave you circumcision--not that it comes from Moses, but from the fathers--and even on the Sabbath you give a child circumcision.

bbe@John:7:23 @If a child is given circumcision on the Sabbath so that the law of Moses may not be broken, why are you angry with me because I made a man completely well on the Sabbath?

bbe@John:7:25 @Then some of the people of Jerusalem said, Is not this the man whose death is desired?

bbe@John:7:27 @However, it is clear to us where this man comes from: but when the Christ comes no one will have knowledge where he comes from.

bbe@John:7:28 @Then, when he was teaching in the Temple, Jesus said with a loud voice, You have knowledge of me and you have knowledge of where I come from; and I have not come of myself; but there is One who has sent me; he is true, but you have no knowledge of him.

bbe@John:7:29 @I have knowledge of him because I came from him and he sent me.

bbe@John:7:30 @Then they had a desire to take him: but no man put hands on him because his hour was still to come.

bbe@John:7:31 @And numbers of the people had belief in him, and they said, When the Christ comes will he do more signs than this man has done?

bbe@John:7:32 @This discussion of the people came to the ears of the Pharisees; and the chief priests and the Pharisees sent servants to take him.

bbe@John:7:33 @Then Jesus said, I will be with you a little longer and then I go to him who sent me.

bbe@John:7:34 @You will be looking for me, and you will not see me: and where I am you may not come.

bbe@John:7:35 @So the Jews said among themselves, To what place is he going where we will not see him? will he go to the Jews living among the Greeks and become the teacher of the Greeks?

bbe@John:7:36 @What is this saying of his, You will be looking for me and will not see me, and where I am you may not come?

bbe@John:7:37 @On the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus got up and said in a loud voice, If any man is in need of drink let him come to me and I will give it to him.

bbe@John:7:38 @He who has faith in me, out of his body, as the Writings have said, will come rivers of living water.

bbe@John:7:39 @This he said of the Spirit which would be given to those who had faith in him: the Spirit had not been given then, because the glory of Jesus was still to come.

bbe@John:7:40 @When these words came to their ears, some of the people said, This is certainly the prophet.

bbe@John:7:41 @Others said, This is the Christ. But others said, Not so; will the Christ come from Galilee?

bbe@John:7:42 @Do not the Writings say that the Christ comes of the seed of David and from Beth-lehem, the little town where David was?

bbe@John:7:44 @And some of them had a desire to take him; but no man put hands on him.

bbe@John:7:50 @Nicodemus--he who had come to Jesus before, being himself one of them--said to them,

bbe@John:7:52 @This was their answer: And do you come from Galilee? Make search and you will see that no prophet comes out of Galilee.

bbe@John:8:2 @And early in the morning he came again into the Temple and all the people came to him and he was seated teaching them.

bbe@John:8:3 @Now the scribes and Pharisees came, with a woman who had been taken in the act of sinning against the married relation;

bbe@John:8:5 @Now in the law Moses gave directions that such women were to be stoned; what do you say about it?

bbe@John:8:6 @They said this, testing him, so that they might have something against him. But Jesus, with his head bent down, made letters on the floor with his finger.

bbe@John:8:9 @And when his words came to their ears, they went out one by one, starting with the oldest even to the last, because they were conscious of what was in their hearts: and Jesus was there by himself with the woman before him.

bbe@John:8:10 @Then Jesus got up, and seeing nobody but the woman, he said to her, Where are the men who said things against you? did no one give a decision against you?

bbe@John:8:12 @Then again Jesus said to them, I am the light of the world; he who comes with me will not be walking in the dark but will have the light of life.

bbe@John:8:14 @Jesus said in answer, Even if I give witness about myself, my witness is true, because I have knowledge of where I came from and where I am going; but you have no knowledge of where I come from or of where I am going.

bbe@John:8:16 @Even if I am judging, my decision is right, because I am not by myself--with me is the Father who sent me.

bbe@John:8:17 @Even in your law it is said that the witness of two men is true.

bbe@John:8:18 @I give witness about myself and the Father who sent me gives witness about me

bbe@John:8:19 @Then they said to him, Where is your Father? Jesus said in answer, You have no knowledge of me or of my Father: if you had knowledge of me you would have knowledge of my Father.

bbe@John:8:20 @Jesus said these words in the place where the offerings were stored, while he was teaching in the Temple: but no man took him because his time was still to come.

bbe@John:8:21 @Then he said to them again, I am going away and you will be looking for me, but death will overtake you in your sins. It is not possible for you to come where I am going.

bbe@John:8:22 @So the Jews said, Will he take his life? Is that why he says, Where I go it is not possible for you to come?

bbe@John:8:24 @For this reason I said to you that death will overtake you in your sins: for if you have not faith that I am he, death will come to you while you are in your sins.

bbe@John:8:26 @I have much to say about you and against you: but he who sent me is true and what he has said to me I say to the world.

bbe@John:8:28 @So Jesus said, When the Son of man has been lifted up by you, then it will be clear to you who I am, and that I do nothing of myself, but say as the Father gave me teaching.

bbe@John:8:29 @He who sent me is with me; he has not gone from me, because at all times I do the things which are pleasing to him.

bbe@John:8:30 @When he said this a number came to have faith in him.

bbe@John:8:33 @They said to him in answer, We are Abraham's seed and have never been any man's servant: why do you say, You will become free?

bbe@John:8:37 @I am conscious that you are Abraham's seed; but you have a desire to put me to death because my word has no place in you.

bbe@John:8:38 @I say the things which I have seen in my Father's house: and you do the things which come to you from your father's house.

bbe@John:8:40 @But now you have a desire to put me to death, a man who has said to you what is true, as I had it from God: Abraham did not do that.

bbe@John:8:42 @Jesus said to them, If God was your Father you would have love for me, because it was from God I came and am here. I did not come of myself, but he sent me.

bbe@John:8:45 @But because I say what is true, you have no belief in me.

bbe@John:8:46 @Which of you is able truly to say that I am a sinner? If I say what is true, why have you no belief in me?

bbe@John:8:49 @And this was the answer of Jesus: I have not an evil spirit; but I give honour to my Father and you do not give honour to me.

bbe@John:8:54 @Jesus said in answer, If I take glory for myself, my glory is nothing: it is my Father who gives me glory, of whom you say that he is your God.

bbe@John:8:58 @Jesus said to them, Truly I say to you, Before Abraham came into being, I am.

bbe@John:9:4 @While it is day we have to do the works of him who sent me: the night comes when no work may be done.

bbe@John:9:7 @And said to him, Go and make yourself clean in the bath of Siloam (the sense of the name is, Sent). So he went away and, after washing, came back able to see.

bbe@John:9:9 @Some said, It is he: others said, No, but he is like him. He said, I am he.

bbe@John:9:11 @His answer was: The man who is named Jesus put earth mixed with water on my eyes, and said to me, Go and make yourself clean in Siloam: so I went away and, after washing, am now able to see.

bbe@John:9:16 @Then some of the Pharisees said, That man has not come from God, for he does not keep the Sabbath. Others said, How is it possible for a sinner to do such signs? So there was a division among them.

bbe@John:9:18 @Now the Jews had no belief in the statement that he had been blind and was now able to see, till they sent for the father and mother of the man whose eyes had been made open,

bbe@John:9:22 @They said this because of their fear of the Jews: for the Jews had come to an agreement that if any man said that Jesus was the Christ he would be put out of the Synagogue.

bbe@John:9:24 @So they sent a second time for the man who had been blind and they said to him, Give glory to God: it is clear to us that this man is a sinner.

bbe@John:9:27 @His answer was: I have said it before, but your ears were shut: why would you have me say it again? is it your desire to become his disciples?

bbe@John:9:29 @We are certain that God gave his word to Moses: but as for this man, we have no knowledge where he comes from.

bbe@John:9:30 @The man said in answer, Why, here is a strange thing! You have no knowledge where he comes from though he gave me the use of my eyes.

bbe@John:9:33 @If this man did not come from God he would be unable to do anything.

bbe@John:9:34 @Their answer was: You came to birth through sin; do you make yourself our teacher? And they put him out of the Synagogue.

bbe@John:9:35 @It came to the ears of Jesus that they had put him out, and meeting him he said, Have you faith in the Son of man?

bbe@John:9:39 @And Jesus said, I came into this world to be a judge, so that those who do not see may see, and those who see may become blind.

bbe@John:9:40 @These words came to the ears of the Pharisees who were with him and they said to him, Are we, then, blind?

bbe@John:10:1 @Truly I say to you, He who does not go through the door into the place where the sheep are kept, but gets in by some other way, is a thief and an outlaw.

bbe@John:10:3 @The porter lets him in; and the sheep give ear to his voice; he says over the names of the sheep, and takes them out.

bbe@John:10:8 @All who came before me are thieves and outlaws: but the sheep did not give ear to them.

bbe@John:10:9 @I am the door: if any man goes in through me he will have salvation, and will go in and go out, and will get food

bbe@John:10:10 @The thief comes only to take the sheep and to put them to death: he comes for their destruction: I have come so that they may have life and have it in greater measure.

bbe@John:10:12 @He who is a servant, and not the keeper or the owner of the sheep, sees the wolf coming and goes in flight, away from the sheep; and the wolf comes down on them and sends them in all directions:

bbe@John:10:14 @I am the good keeper; I have knowledge of my sheep, and they have knowledge of me,

bbe@John:10:15 @Even as the Father has knowledge of me and I of the Father; and I am giving my life for the sheep.

bbe@John:10:16 @And I have other sheep which are not of this field: I will be their guide in the same way, and they will give ear to my voice, so there will be one flock and one keeper.

bbe@John:10:18 @No one takes it away from me; I give it up of myself. I have power to give it up, and I have power to take it again. These orders I have from my Father.

bbe@John:10:22 @Then came the feast of the opening of the Temple in Jerusalem: it was winter;

bbe@John:10:24 @Then the Jews came round him, saying, how long are you going to keep us in doubt? If you are the Christ, say so clearly.

bbe@John:10:25 @Jesus said in answer, I have said it and you have no belief: the works which I do in my Father's name, these give witness about me.

bbe@John:10:27 @My sheep give ear to my voice, and I have knowledge of them, and they come after me:

bbe@John:10:28 @And I give them eternal life; they will never come to destruction, and no one will ever take them out of my hand.

bbe@John:10:29 @That which my Father has given to me has more value than all; and no one is able to take anything out of the Father's hand.

bbe@John:10:32 @Jesus said to them in answer, I have let you see a number of good works from the Father; for which of those works are you stoning me?

bbe@John:10:35 @If he said they were gods, to whom the word of God came (and the Writings may not be broken),

bbe@John:10:37 @If I am not doing the works of my Father, do not have belief in me;

bbe@John:10:38 @But if I am doing them, then have belief in the works even if you have no belief in me; so that you may see clearly and be certain that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.

bbe@John:10:40 @And he went again to the other side of the Jordan, to the place where John first gave baptism; and he was there for a time.

bbe@John:10:41 @And a great number of people came to him, saying, John did no sign: but everything John said of this man was true.

bbe@John:10:42 @And a number came to have faith in him there.

bbe@John:11:1 @Now a certain man named Lazarus was ill; he was of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.

bbe@John:11:2 @(The Mary whose brother Lazarus was ill, was the Mary who put perfumed oil on the Lord and made his feet dry with her hair.)

bbe@John:11:4 @When this came to his ears, Jesus said, The end of this disease is not death, but the glory of God, so that the Son of God may have glory because of it.

bbe@John:11:6 @So when the news came to him that Lazarus was ill, he did not go from the place where he was for two days.

bbe@John:11:7 @Then after that time he said to his disciples, Let us go into Judaea again.

bbe@John:11:11 @These things said he: and after that he said to them, Lazarus our friend is at rest; but I go so that I may make him come out of his sleep

bbe@John:11:16 @Then Thomas, who was named Didymus, said to the other disciples, Let us go so that we may be with him in death.

bbe@John:11:17 @Now when Jesus came, he made the discovery that Lazarus had been put into the earth four days before.

bbe@John:11:19 @And a number of Jews had come to Martha and Mary to give them comfort about their brother.

bbe@John:11:23 @Jesus said to her, Your brother will come to life again.

bbe@John:11:24 @Martha said to him, I am certain that he will come to life again when all come back from the dead at the last day.

bbe@John:11:25 @Jesus said to her, I am myself that day and that life; he who has faith in me will have life even if he is dead;

bbe@John:11:26 @And no one who is living and has faith in me will ever see death. Is this your faith?

bbe@John:11:27 @She said to him, Yes, Lord: my faith is that you are the Christ, the Son of God, who was to come into the world.

bbe@John:11:30 @Now Jesus had not at this time come into the town, but was still in the place where Martha had seen him.

bbe@John:11:32 @When Mary came to where Jesus was and saw him, she went down at his feet, saying, Lord, if you had been here my brother would not be dead.

bbe@John:11:33 @And when Jesus saw her weeping, and saw the Jews weeping who came with her, his spirit was moved and he was troubled,

bbe@John:11:34 @And said, Where have you put him? They said, Come and see, Lord.

bbe@John:11:37 @But some of them said, This man, who made open the eyes of the blind man, was he not able to keep his friend from death?

bbe@John:11:38 @So Jesus, deeply troubled in heart, came to the place of the dead. It was a hole in the rock, and a stone was over the opening.

bbe@John:11:39 @Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said, Lord, by this time the body will be smelling, for he has been dead four days.

bbe@John:11:41 @So they took away the stone. And Jesus, looking up to heaven, said, Father, I give praise to you for hearing me.

bbe@John:11:42 @I was certain that your ears are at all times open to me, but I said it because of these who are here, so that they may see that you sent me.

bbe@John:11:43 @Then he said in a loud voice, Lazarus, come out!

bbe@John:11:44 @And he who was dead came out, with linen bands folded tightly about his hands and feet, and a cloth about his face. Jesus said to them, Make him free and let him go.

bbe@John:11:45 @Then a number of the Jews who had come to Mary and had seen the things which Jesus did had belief in him.

bbe@John:11:46 @But some of them went to the Pharisees with the news of what Jesus had done.

bbe@John:11:47 @Then the high priests and the Pharisees had a meeting and said, What are we doing? This man is doing a number of signs.

bbe@John:11:48 @If we let him go on in this way, everybody will have belief in him and the Romans will come and take away our place and our nation.

bbe@John:11:50 @You do not see that it is in your interest for one man to be put to death for the people, so that all the nation may not come to destruction.

bbe@John:11:54 @So Jesus no longer went about publicly among the Jews, but went from there into the country near to the waste land, to a town named Ephraim, where he was for some time with the disciples.

bbe@John:11:56 @They were looking for Jesus and saying to one another while they were in the Temple, What is your opinion? Will he not come to the feast?

bbe@John:12:1 @Then, six days before the Passover, Jesus came to Bethany where Lazarus was, whom Jesus had made to come back from the dead.

bbe@John:12:2 @So they made him a meal there, and he was waited on by Martha, and Lazarus was among those who were seated with him at table.

bbe@John:12:3 @Then Mary, taking a pound of perfumed oil of great value, put it on the feet of Jesus and made them dry with her hair: and the house became full of the smell of the perfume.

bbe@John:12:5 @Why was not this perfume traded for three hundred pence, and the money given to the poor?

bbe@John:12:8 @The poor you have ever with you, but me you have not for ever.

bbe@John:12:9 @Then a great number of the Jews had news that he was there: and they came, not only because of Jesus, but so that they might see Lazarus who had been dead and to whom he had given life.

bbe@John:12:13 @Took branches of palm-trees and went out to him, crying, A blessing on him who comes in the name of the Lord, the King of Israel!

bbe@John:12:16 @(These things were not clear to his disciples at first: but when Jesus had been lifted up into his glory, then it came to their minds that these things in the Writings were about him and that they had been done to him.)

bbe@John:12:17 @Now the people who were with him when his voice came to Lazarus in the place of the dead, and gave him life again, had been talking about it.

bbe@John:12:18 @And that was the reason the people went out to him, because it had come to their ears that he had done this sign.

bbe@John:12:20 @Now there were some Greeks among the people who had come up to give worship at the feast:

bbe@John:12:21 @They came to Philip, who was of Beth-saida in Galilee, and made a request, saying, Sir, we have a desire to see Jesus.

bbe@John:12:23 @And Jesus said to them in answer, The hour of the glory of the Son of man has come.

bbe@John:12:24 @Truly I say to you, If a seed of grain does not go into the earth and come to an end, it is still a seed and no more; but through its death it gives much fruit.

bbe@John:12:26 @If any man is my servant, let him come after me; and where I am, there will my servant be. If any man becomes my servant, my Father will give him honour.

bbe@John:12:27 @Now is my soul troubled; and what am I to say? Father, keep me from this hour. No: for this purpose have I come to this hour.

bbe@John:12:28 @Father, give glory to your name. Then there came a voice out of heaven, saying, I have given it glory, and I will give it glory again.

bbe@John:12:30 @Jesus said in answer, This voice came not for me but for you.

bbe@John:12:32 @And I, if I am lifted up from the earth, will make all men come to me.

bbe@John:12:35 @Jesus said to them, For a little time longer the light will be among you; while you have the light go on walking in it, so that the dark may not overtake you: one walking in the dark has no knowledge of where he is going.

bbe@John:12:36 @In so far as you have the light, put your faith in the light so that you may become sons of light. With these words Jesus went away and for a time was not seen again by them.

bbe@John:12:38 @So that the words of the prophet Isaiah might come true, when he said, Lord, who has any belief in our preaching? and the arm of the Lord, to whom has it been unveiled?

bbe@John:12:43 @For the praise of men was dearer to them than the approval of God.

bbe@John:12:44 @Then Jesus said with a loud voice, He who has faith in me, has faith not in me, but in him who sent me.

bbe@John:12:45 @And he who sees me, sees him who sent me.

bbe@John:12:46 @I have come as a light into the world, so that no one who has faith in me will go on living in the dark.

bbe@John:12:47 @And if any man gives ear to my words and does not keep them, I am not his judge: I did not come to be judge of the world but to give salvation to the world.

bbe@John:12:48 @He who puts me on one side and does not take my words to heart, is not without a judge: the word which I have said will be his judge on the last day.

bbe@John:12:49 @For I have not said it on my authority, but the Father who sent me gave me orders what to say and how to say it.

bbe@John:12:50 @And I have knowledge that his order is eternal life: so that the things which I say, I say them even as the Father says them to me.

bbe@John:13:1 @Now before the feast of the Passover, it was clear to Jesus that the time had come for him to go away from this world to the Father. Having once had love for those in the world who were his, his love for them went on to the end.

bbe@John:13:2 @So while a meal was going on, the Evil One having now put it into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon's son, to be false to him,

bbe@John:13:3 @Jesus, being conscious that the Father had put everything into his hands, and that he came from God and was going to God,

bbe@John:13:6 @So he came to Simon Peter. Peter said, Lord, are my feet to be washed by you?

bbe@John:13:7 @And Jesus, answering, said to him, What I do is not clear to you now, but it will be clear to you in time to come.

bbe@John:13:8 @Peter said, I will never let my feet be washed by you, never. Jesus said in answer, If I do not make you clean you have no part with me.

bbe@John:13:13 @You give me the name of Master and Lord: and you are right; that is what I am.

bbe@John:13:18 @I am not talking of you all: I have knowledge of my true disciples, but things are as they are, so that the Writings may come true, The foot of him who takes bread with me is lifted up against me.

bbe@John:13:19 @From this time forward, I give you knowledge of things before they come about, so that when they come about you may have belief that I am he.

bbe@John:13:20 @Truly I say to you, He who takes to his heart anyone whom I send, takes me to his heart; and he who so takes me, takes him who sent me.

bbe@John:13:21 @When Jesus had said this he was troubled in spirit, and gave witness, saying, Truly I say to you, that one of you will be false to me.

bbe@John:13:29 @Some were of the opinion that because Judas kept the money-bag Jesus said to him, Get the things we have need of for the feast; or, that he was to give something to the poor.

bbe@John:13:33 @My dear children, I am only to be with you a little longer. Then you will be looking for me: and as I said to the Jews, so now I say to you, Where I am going you may not come.

bbe@John:13:35 @By this it will be clear to all men that you are my disciples, if you have love one for another.

bbe@John:13:36 @Simon Peter said to him, Lord, where are you going? Jesus said in answer, Where I am going you may not come with me now, but you will come later.

bbe@John:13:37 @Peter said to him, Why may I not come with you even now? I will give up my life for you.

bbe@John:13:38 @Jesus said in answer, Will you give up your life for me? Truly I say to you, Before the cry of the cock you will have said three times that you are not my disciple.

bbe@John:14:1 @Let not your heart be troubled: have faith in God and have faith in me.

bbe@John:14:3 @And if I go and make ready a place for you, I will come back again and will take you to be with me, so that you may be where I am.

bbe@John:14:6 @Jesus said to him, I am the true and living way: no one comes to the Father but by me.

bbe@John:14:7 @If you had knowledge of me, you would have knowledge of my Father: you have knowledge of him now and have seen him.

bbe@John:14:9 @Jesus said to him, Philip, have I been with you all this time, and still you have no knowledge of me? He who has seen me has seen the Father. Why do you say, Let us see the Father?

bbe@John:14:10 @Have you not faith that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words which I say to you, I say not from myself: but the Father who is in me all the time does his works.

bbe@John:14:11 @Have faith that I am in the Father and that the Father is in me: at least, have faith in me because of what I do.

bbe@John:14:12 @Truly I say to you, He who puts his faith in me will do the very works which I do, and he will do greater things than these, because I am going to my Father.

bbe@John:14:13 @And whatever request you make in my name, that I will do, so that the Father may have glory in the Son.

bbe@John:14:14 @If you make any request to me in my name, I will do it.

bbe@John:14:15 @If you have love for me, you will keep my laws.

bbe@John:14:19 @A little time longer, and the world will see me no more; but you will see me; and you will be living because I am living.

bbe@John:14:20 @At that time it will be clear to you that I am in my Father, and you are in me, and I in you.

bbe@John:14:21 @He who has my laws and keeps them, he it is who has love for me: and he who has love for me will be loved by my Father, and I will have love for him and will let myself be seen clearly by him.

bbe@John:14:23 @Jesus said to him in answer, If anyone has love for me, he will keep my words: and he will be dear to my Father; and we will come to him and make our living-place with him.

bbe@John:14:24 @He who has no love for me does not keep my words; and the word which you are hearing is not my word but the Father's who sent me.

bbe@John:14:26 @But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will be your teacher in all things and will put you in mind of everything I have said to you.

bbe@John:14:28 @Keep in mind how I said to you, I go away and come to you again. If you had love for me you would be glad, because I am going to the Father: for the Father is greater than I.

bbe@John:14:29 @And now I have given you word of it before it comes, so that, when it comes, you may have faith.

bbe@John:14:30 @After this I will not say much to you, because the ruler of this world comes: and he has no power over me;

bbe@John:14:31 @But he comes so that the world may see that I have love for the Father, and that I am doing as I am ordered by the Father. Get up, and let us go.

bbe@John:15:2 @He takes away every branch in me which has no fruit, and every branch which has fruit he makes clean, so that it may have more fruit.

bbe@John:15:4 @Be in me at all times as I am in you. As the branch is not able to give fruit of itself, if it is not still on the vine, so you are not able to do so if you are not in me.

bbe@John:15:5 @I am the vine, you are the branches: he who is in me at all times as I am in him, gives much fruit, because without me you are able to do nothing.

bbe@John:15:6 @If a man does not keep himself in me, he becomes dead and is cut off like a dry branch; such branches are taken up and put in the fire and burned.

bbe@John:15:7 @If you are in me at all times, and my words are in you, then anything for which you make a request will be done for you.

bbe@John:15:9 @Even as the Father has given me his love, so I have given my love to you: be ever in my love.

bbe@John:15:15 @No longer do I give you the name of servants; because a servant is without knowledge of what his master is doing: I give you the name of friends, because I have given you knowledge of all the things which my Father has said to me.

bbe@John:15:16 @You did not take me for yourselves, but I took you for myself; and I gave you the work of going about and producing fruit which will be for ever; so that whatever request you make to the Father in my name he may give it to you.

bbe@John:15:20 @Keep in mind the words I said to you, A servant is not greater than his lord. If they were cruel to me, they will be cruel to you; if they kept my words, they will keep yours.

bbe@John:15:21 @They will do all this to you because of my name--because they have no knowledge of him who sent me.

bbe@John:15:22 @If I had not come and been their teacher they would have had no sin: but now they have no reason to give for their sin.

bbe@John:15:23 @He who has hate for me has hate for my Father.

bbe@John:15:24 @If I had not done among them the works which no other man ever did, they would have had no sin: but now they have seen, and they have had hate in their hearts for me and my Father.

bbe@John:15:25 @This comes about so that the writing in their law may be made true, Their hate for me was without cause.

bbe@John:15:26 @When the Helper comes, whom I will send to you from the Father even the Spirit of true knowledge who comes from the Father--he will give witness about me;

bbe@John:15:27 @And you, in addition, will give witness because you have been with me from the first.

bbe@John:16:2 @They will put you out of the Synagogues: yes, the time is coming when whoever puts you to death will have the belief that he is doing God's pleasure.

bbe@John:16:3 @They will do these things to you because they have not had knowledge of the Father or of me.

bbe@John:16:4 @I have said these things to you so that when the time comes, what I have said may come to your mind. I did not say them to you at the first, because then I was still with you.

bbe@John:16:5 @But now I am going to him who sent me; and not one of you says to me, Where are you going?

bbe@John:16:7 @But what I am saying is true: my going is for your good: for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.

bbe@John:16:8 @And he, when he comes, will make the world conscious of sin, and of righteousness, and of being judged:

bbe@John:16:9 @Of sin, because they have not faith in me;

bbe@John:16:10 @Of righteousness, because I go to the Father and you will see me no more;

bbe@John:16:13 @However, when he, the Spirit of true knowledge, has come, he will be your guide into all true knowledge: for his words will not come from himself, but whatever has come to his hearing, that he will say: and he will make clear to you the things to come.

bbe@John:16:14 @He will give me glory, because he will take of what is mine, and make it clear to you.

bbe@John:16:16 @After a little time you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me.

bbe@John:16:17 @So some of the disciples said one to another, What is this he is saying, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me? and, I am going to the Father?

bbe@John:16:18 @So they said again and again, What is this he is saying, A little time? His words are not clear to us.

bbe@John:16:19 @Jesus saw that they had a desire to put the question to him, so he said to them, Is this what you are questioning one with another, why I said, After a little time, you will see me no longer; and then again, after a little time, you will see me?

bbe@John:16:21 @When a woman is about to give birth she has sorrow, because her hour is come; but when she has given birth to the child, the pain is put out of her mind by the joy that a man has come into the world

bbe@John:16:23 @And on that day you will put no questions to me. Truly I say to you, Whatever request you make to the Father, he will give it to you in my name.

bbe@John:16:24 @Up to now you have made no request in my name: do so, and it will be answered, so that your hearts may be full of joy.

bbe@John:16:25 @All this I have said to you in veiled language: but the time is coming when I will no longer say things in veiled language but will give you knowledge of the Father clearly.

bbe@John:16:26 @In that day you will make requests in my name: and I do not say that I will make prayer to the Father for you,

bbe@John:16:27 @For the Father himself gives his love to you, because you have given your love to me and have had faith that I came from God.

bbe@John:16:28 @I came out from the Father and have come into the world: again, I go away from the world and go to the Father.

bbe@John:16:30 @Now we are certain that you have knowledge of all things and have no need for anyone to put questions to you: through this we have faith that you came from God.

bbe@John:16:32 @See, a time is coming, yes, it is now here, when you will go away in all directions, every man to his house, and I will be by myself: but I am not by myself, because the Father is with me.

bbe@John:16:33 @I have said all these things to you so that in me you may have peace. In the world you have trouble: but take heart! I have overcome the world.

bbe@John:17:1 @Jesus said these things; then, lifting his eyes to heaven, he said, Father, the time has now come; give glory to your Son, so that the Son may give glory to you:

bbe@John:17:4 @I have given you glory on the earth, having done all the work which you gave me to do.

bbe@John:17:5 @And now, Father, let me have glory with you, even that glory which I had with you before the world was.

bbe@John:17:6 @I have given knowledge of your name to the men whom you gave me out of the world: yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your words.

bbe@John:17:7 @Now it is clear to them that whatever you have given to me comes from you:

bbe@John:17:8 @Because I have given them the words which you gave to me; and they have taken them to heart, and have certain knowledge that I came from you, and they have faith that you sent me.

bbe@John:17:9 @My prayer is for them: my prayer is not for the world, but for those whom you have given to me, because they are yours

bbe@John:17:11 @And now I will be no longer in the world, but they are in the world and I come to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name which you have given to me, so that they may be one even as we are one.

bbe@John:17:12 @While I was with them I kept them safe in your name which you have given to me: I took care of them and not one of them has come to destruction, but only the son of destruction, so that the Writings might come true.

bbe@John:17:13 @And now I come to you; and these things I say in the world so that they may have my joy complete in them.

bbe@John:17:18 @Even as you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world.

bbe@John:17:20 @My prayer is not for them only, but for all who will have faith in me through their word;

bbe@John:17:21 @May they all be one! Even as you, Father, are in me and I am in you, so let them be in us, so that all men may come to have faith that you sent me.

bbe@John:17:22 @And the glory which you have given to me I have given to them, so that they may be one even as we are one;

bbe@John:17:23 @I in them, and you in me, so that they may be made completely one, and so that it may become clear to all men that you have sent me and that they are loved by you as I am loved by you

bbe@John:17:24 @Father, it is my desire that these whom you have given to me may be by my side where I am, so that they may see my glory which you have given to me, because you had love for me before the world came into being.

bbe@John:17:25 @Father of righteousness, I have knowledge of you, though the world has not; and to these it is clear that you sent me;

bbe@John:17:26 @And I have given to them knowledge of your name, and will give it, so that the love which you have for me may be in them and I in them.

bbe@John:18:3 @So Judas, getting a band of armed men and police from the chief priests and Pharisees, went there with lights and with arms.

bbe@John:18:8 @Jesus made answer, I have said that I am he; if you are looking for me, let these men go away.

bbe@John:18:9 @(He said this so that his words might come true, I have kept safe all those whom you gave to me.)

bbe@John:18:11 @Then Jesus said to Peter, Put back your sword: am I not to take the cup which my Father has given to me?

bbe@John:18:16 @But Peter was kept outside at the door. Then this other disciple, who was a friend of the high priest, came out and had a word with the girl who kept the door, and took Peter in.

bbe@John:18:20 @Jesus made answer, I said things openly to the world at all times; I have given my teaching in the Synagogues and in the Temple to which all the Jews come; and I have said nothing secretly.

bbe@John:18:21 @Why are you questioning me? put questions to my hearers about what I have said to them: they have knowledge of what I said.

bbe@John:18:23 @Jesus said in answer, If I have said anything evil, give witness to the evil: but if I said what is true, why do you give me blows?

bbe@John:18:28 @So they took Jesus from the house of Caiaphas to the Praetorium. It was early. They themselves did not go into the Praetorium, so that they might not become unclean, but might take the Passover.

bbe@John:18:29 @So Pilate came out to them and put the question: What have you to say against this man?

bbe@John:18:32 @(That the word of Jesus might come true, pointing to the sort of death he would have.)

bbe@John:18:34 @Jesus made answer, Do you say this of yourself, or did others say it about me?

bbe@John:18:36 @Jesus said in answer, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom was of this world, my disciples would have made a good fight to keep me out of the hands of the Jews: but my kingdom is not here.

bbe@John:18:37 @Then Pilate said to him, Are you then a king? Jesus made answer, You say that I am a king. For this purpose was I given birth, and for this purpose I came into the world, that I might give witness to what is true. Every lover of what is true gives ear to my voice.

bbe@John:18:39 @But every year you make a request to me to let a prisoner go free at the Passover. Is it your desire that I let the King of the Jews go free?

bbe@John:19:2 @And the men of the army made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him.

bbe@John:19:4 @And Pilate went out again and said to them, See, I let him come out to you to make it clear to you that I see no wrong in him.

bbe@John:19:5 @Then Jesus came out with the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, Here is the man!

bbe@John:19:6 @So when the chief priests and the police saw him they gave a loud cry, To the cross! to the cross! Pilate said to them, Take him yourselves and put him on the cross: I see no crime in him.

bbe@John:19:8 @When this saying came to Pilate's ears his fear became greater;

bbe@John:19:9 @And he went again into the Praetorium and said to Jesus, Where do you come from? But Jesus gave him no answer.

bbe@John:19:10 @Then Pilate said to him, You say nothing to me? is it not clear to you that I have power to let you go free and power to put you to death on the cross?

bbe@John:19:11 @Jesus gave this answer: You would have no power at all over me if it was not given to you by God; so that he who gave me up to you has the greater sin.

bbe@John:19:13 @So when these words came to Pilate's ear, he took Jesus out, seating himself in the judge's seat in a place named in Hebrew, Gabbatha, or the Stone Floor.

bbe@John:19:17 @And he went out with his cross on him to the place which is named Dead Man's Head (in Hebrew, Golgotha):

bbe@John:19:19 @And Pilate put on the cross a statement in writing. The writing was: JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS.

bbe@John:19:23 @And when Jesus was nailed to the cross, the men of the army took his clothing, and made a division of it into four parts, to every man a part, and they took his coat: now the coat was without a join, made out of one bit of cloth.

bbe@John:19:24 @So they said among themselves, Let this not be cut up, but let us put it to the decision of chance and see who gets it. (They did this so that the Writings might come true, which say, They made a distribution of my clothing among them, and my coat they put to the decision of chance.) This was what the men of the army did.

bbe@John:19:28 @After this, being conscious that all things had now been done so that the Writings might come true, Jesus said, Give me water.

bbe@John:19:32 @So the men of the army came, and the legs of the first were broken and then of the other who was put to death on the cross with Jesus:

bbe@John:19:33 @But when they came to Jesus, they saw that he was dead by this time, and so his legs were not broken;

bbe@John:19:34 @But one of the men made a wound in his side with a spear, and straight away there came out blood and water.

bbe@John:19:36 @These things came about so that the Writings might be true, No bone of his body will be broken.

bbe@John:19:39 @And Nicodemus came (he who had first come to Jesus by night) with a roll of myrrh and aloes mixed, about a hundred pounds.

bbe@John:20:1 @Now on the first day of the week, very early, while it was still dark, Mary Magdalene came to the place and saw that the stone had been taken away from it.

bbe@John:20:4 @They went running together, and the other disciple got in front of Peter and came first to the hole in the rock;

bbe@John:20:6 @Then Simon Peter came after him and went into the hole in the rock; and he saw the linen bands on the earth,

bbe@John:20:8 @Then the other disciple who came there first went in; and he saw and belief came to him.

bbe@John:20:9 @For at that time they had no knowledge that the Writings said that he would have to come again from the dead.

bbe@John:20:17 @Jesus said to her, Do not put your hand on me, for I have not gone up to the Father: but go to my brothers and say to them, I go up to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.

bbe@John:20:19 @At evening on that day, the first day of the week, when, for fear of the Jews, the doors were shut where the disciples were, Jesus came among them and said to them, May peace be with you!

bbe@John:20:21 @And Jesus said to them again, May peace be with you! As the Father sent me, even so I now send you.

bbe@John:20:22 @And when he had said this, breathing on them, he said to them, Let the Holy Spirit come on you:

bbe@John:20:24 @Now Thomas, one of the twelve, named Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.

bbe@John:20:26 @And after eight days, his disciples were again in the house and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were shut, Jesus came, and taking his place in the middle of them, he said, May peace be with you!

bbe@John:20:29 @Jesus said to him, Because you have seen me you have belief: a blessing will be on those who have belief though they have not seen me!

bbe@John:20:31 @But these are recorded, so that you may have faith that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and so that, having this faith you may have life in his name.

bbe@John:21:1 @After these things Jesus let himself be seen again by the disciples at the sea of Tiberias; and it came about in this way.

bbe@John:21:2 @Simon Peter, Thomas named Didymus, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of his disciples were all together.

bbe@John:21:3 @Simon Peter said to them, I am going fishing. They said to him, And we will come with you. They went out and got into the boat; but that night they took no fish.

bbe@John:21:6 @And he said to them, Let down the net on the right side of the boat and you will get some. So they put it in the water and now they were not able to get it up again because of the great number of fish.

bbe@John:21:8 @And the other disciples came in the little boat (they were not far from land, only about two hundred cubits off) pulling the net full of fish.

bbe@John:21:10 @Jesus said to them, Get some of the fish which you have now taken.

bbe@John:21:11 @So Peter went to the boat and came back pulling the net to land, full of great fish, a hundred and fifty-three; and though there was such a number the net was not broken.

bbe@John:21:12 @Jesus said to them, Come and take some food. And all the disciples were in fear of putting the question, Who are you? being conscious that it was the Lord.

bbe@John:21:13 @Then Jesus came and took the bread and gave it to them, and the fish in the same way.

bbe@John:21:14 @Now this was the third time that Jesus let himself be seen by the disciples after he had come back from the dead

bbe@John:21:15 @Then when they had taken food, Jesus said to Simon Peter, Simon, son of John, is your love for me greater than the love of these others? He said to him, Yes, Lord; you are certain of my love for you. He said to him, Then give my lambs food.

bbe@John:21:16 @Again, a second time, he said to him, Simon, son of John, have you any love for me? Yes, Lord, he said, you are certain of my love for you. Then take care of my sheep, said Jesus.

bbe@John:21:17 @He said to him a third time, Simon, son of John, am I dear to you? Now Peter was troubled in his heart because he put the question a third time, Am I dear to you? And he said to him, Lord, you have knowledge of all things; you see that you are dear to me. Jesus said to him, Then give my sheep food.

bbe@John:21:19 @Now this he said, pointing out the sort of death by which he would give God glory. And after saying this, he said to him, Come after me.

bbe@John:21:20 @Then Peter, turning round, saw the disciple who was dear to Jesus coming after them--the disciple who was resting on his breast at the last meal, and said, Lord, who is it who will be false to you?

bbe@John:21:22 @Jesus said to him, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you? come yourself after me.

bbe@John:21:23 @So this saying went about among the brothers that this disciple would not undergo death: Jesus, however, did not say that he would not undergo death, but, If it is my desire for him to be here till I come back, what is that to you?

bbe@Acts:1:5 @For the baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit, after a little time.

bbe@Acts:1:6 @So, when they were together, they said to him, Lord, will you at this time give back the kingdom to Israel?

bbe@Acts:1:7 @And he said to them, It is not for you to have knowledge of the time and the order of events which the Father has kept in his control.

bbe@Acts:1:8 @But you will have power, when the Holy Spirit has come on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and all Judaea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.

bbe@Acts:1:10 @And while they were looking up to heaven with great attention, two men came to them, in white clothing,

bbe@Acts:1:11 @And said, O men of Galilee, why are you looking up into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken from you into heaven, will come again, in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.

bbe@Acts:1:12 @Then they went back to Jerusalem from the mountain named Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away.

bbe@Acts:1:13 @And when they came in, they went up into the room where they were living; Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James, the son of Alphaeus, and Simon the Zealot, and Judas, the son of James.

bbe@Acts:1:14 @And they all with one mind gave themselves up to prayer, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.

bbe@Acts:1:18 @(Now this man, with the reward of his evil-doing, got for himself a field, and falling head first, came to a sudden and violent end there.

bbe@Acts:1:19 @And this came to the knowledge of all those who were living in Jerusalem, so that the field was named in their language, Akel-dama, or, The field of blood.)

bbe@Acts:1:21 @For this reason, of the men who have been with us all the time, while the Lord Jesus went in and out among us,

bbe@Acts:1:23 @And they made selection of two, Joseph, named Barsabbas, whose other name was Justus, and Matthias.

bbe@Acts:1:24 @And they made prayers and said, Lord, having knowledge of the hearts of all men, make clear which of these two has been marked out by you,

bbe@Acts:2:1 @And when the day of Pentecost was come, they were all together in one place.

bbe@Acts:2:2 @And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like the rushing of a violent wind, and all the house where they were was full of it.

bbe@Acts:2:3 @And they saw tongues, like flames of fire, coming to rest on every one of them.

bbe@Acts:2:5 @Now there were living at Jerusalem, Jews, God-fearing men, from every nation under heaven.

bbe@Acts:2:6 @And when this sound came to their ears, they all came together, and were greatly surprised because every man was hearing the words of the disciples in his special language.

bbe@Acts:2:7 @And they were full of wonder and said, Are not all these men Galilaeans?

bbe@Acts:2:9 @Men of Parthia, Media, and Elam, and those living in Mesopotamia, in Judaea and Cappadocia, in Pontus and Asia,

bbe@Acts:2:10 @In Phrygia and Pamphylia, in Egypt and the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and those who have come from Rome, Jews by birth and others who have become Jews,

bbe@Acts:2:11 @Men of Crete and Arabia, to all of us they are talking in our different languages, of the great works of God.

bbe@Acts:2:14 @But Peter, getting up, with the eleven, said in a loud voice, O men of Judaea, and all you who are living in Jerusalem, take note of this and give ear to my words.

bbe@Acts:2:15 @For these men are not overcome with wine, as it seems to you, for it is only the third hour of the day;

bbe@Acts:2:17 @And it will come about, in the last days, says God, that I will send out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and your daughters will be prophets, and your young men will see visions, and your old men will have dreams:

bbe@Acts:2:18 @And on my men-servants and my women-servants I will send my Spirit, and they will be prophets.

bbe@Acts:2:20 @The sun will become dark and the moon will be turned to blood, before that great day of the Lord comes in glory:

bbe@Acts:2:22 @Men of Israel, give ear to these words: Jesus of Nazareth, a man who had the approval of God, as was made clear to you by the great works and signs and wonders which God did by him among you, as you yourselves have knowledge,

bbe@Acts:2:23 @Him, when he was given up, by the decision and knowledge of God, you put to death on the cross, by the hands of evil men:

bbe@Acts:2:24 @But God gave him back to life, having made him free from the pains of death because it was not possible for him to be overcome by it.

bbe@Acts:2:25 @For David said of him, I saw the Lord before my face at all times, for he is at my right hand, so that I may not be moved:

bbe@Acts:2:28 @You have made me see the ways of life; I will be full of joy when I see your face.

bbe@Acts:2:29 @My brothers, I may say to you openly that David came to his death, and was put in the earth, and his resting-place is with us today.

bbe@Acts:2:33 @And so, being lifted up to the right hand of God, and having the Father's word that the Holy Spirit would come, he has sent this thing, which now you see and have knowledge of.

bbe@Acts:2:37 @Now when these words came to their ears their hearts were troubled, and they said to Peter and the other Apostles, Brothers, what are we to do?

bbe@Acts:2:38 @And Peter said, Let your hearts be changed, every one of you, and have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will have the Holy Spirit given to you.

bbe@Acts:2:40 @And with more such words he gave his witness, offering them salvation and saying, Come out from this evil generation.

bbe@Acts:2:43 @But fear came on every soul: and all sorts of wonders and signs were done by the Apostles.

bbe@Acts:2:46 @And day by day, going in agreement together regularly to the Temple and, taking broken bread together in their houses, they took their food with joy and with true hearts,

bbe@Acts:3:2 @And a certain man who from birth had had no power in his legs, was taken there every day, and put down at the door of the Temple which is named Beautiful, requesting money from those who went into the Temple;

bbe@Acts:3:5 @And he gave attention to them, hoping to get something from them.

bbe@Acts:3:6 @But Peter said, I have no silver or gold, but what I have, that I give to you. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, get up on your feet.

bbe@Acts:3:7 @And he took him by his right hand, lifting him up; and straight away his feet and the bones of his legs became strong,

bbe@Acts:3:11 @And while he kept his hands on Peter and John, all the people came running together to the covered way which is named Solomon's, full of wonder.

bbe@Acts:3:12 @And when Peter saw it he said to the people, You men of Israel, why are you so greatly surprised at this man? or why are you looking at us as if by our power or virtue we had given him the use of his legs?

bbe@Acts:3:16 @And his name, through faith in his name, has made this man strong, whom you see and have knowledge of: yes, the faith which is through him has made him well, before you all.

bbe@Acts:3:19 @So then, let your hearts be changed and be turned to God, so that your sins may be completely taken away, and times of blessing may come from the Lord;

bbe@Acts:3:21 @Who is to be kept in heaven till the time when all things are put right, of which God has given word by the mouth of his holy prophets, who have been from the earliest times.

bbe@Acts:3:22 @For Moses said, The Lord will give you a prophet from among your people, like me; you will give ear to everything which he will say to you.

bbe@Acts:3:24 @And all the prophets from Samuel and those who came after, every one of them, gave word of these days.

bbe@Acts:3:25 @You are the sons of the prophets, and of the agreement which God made with your fathers, saying to Abraham, Through your seed a blessing will come on all the families of the earth.

bbe@Acts:4:1 @And while they were talking to the people, the priests and the captain of the Temple and the Sadducees came up to them,

bbe@Acts:4:5 @And on the day after, the rulers and those in authority and the scribes came together in Jerusalem;

bbe@Acts:4:7 @Then sending for Peter and John, they said, By what power and in whose name have you done this?

bbe@Acts:4:8 @Then Peter, being full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, O you rulers of the people and men of authority,

bbe@Acts:4:10 @Take note, all of you, and all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you put to death on the cross, whom God gave back from the dead, even through him is this man now before you completely well

bbe@Acts:4:12 @And in no other is there salvation: for there is no other name under heaven, given among men, through which we may have salvation.

bbe@Acts:4:13 @Now when they saw that Peter and John were without fear, though they were men of no education or learning, they were greatly surprised; and they took note of them that they had been with Jesus.

bbe@Acts:4:16 @Saying, What are we to do with these men? for certainly it is clear to all who are living in Jerusalem that a most important sign has been done by them, and it is not possible to say that it is not so.

bbe@Acts:4:17 @But so that it may not go farther among the people, let us put them in fear of punishment if they say anything in future in this name.

bbe@Acts:4:18 @And they sent for them, and gave them orders not to make statements or give teaching in the name of Jesus.

bbe@Acts:4:21 @And when they had said more sharp words to them, they let them go, not seeing what punishment they might give them, because of the people; for all men were giving praise to God for what had taken place.

bbe@Acts:4:23 @And when they had been made free, they came back to their friends, and gave an account of all the things which the chief priests and the authorities had said to them.

bbe@Acts:4:26 @The kings of the earth were lifted up, the rulers came together, against the Lord, and against his Christ:

bbe@Acts:4:27 @For, truly, in this town, against your holy servant, Jesus, who was marked out by you as Christ, Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles and the people of Israel, came together,

bbe@Acts:4:30 @While your hand is stretched out to do works of mercy; so that signs and wonders may be done through the name of your holy servant Jesus.

bbe@Acts:4:31 @And when their prayer was ended, the place where they were was violently moved, and they all became full of the Holy Spirit, preaching the word of God without fear.

bbe@Acts:4:36 @And Joseph, who was given by the Apostles the name of Barnabas (the sense of which is, Son of comfort), a Levite and a man of Cyprus by birth,

bbe@Acts:5:1 @But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, got money for his property,

bbe@Acts:5:4 @While you had it, was it not your property? and after you had given it in exchange, was it not still in your power? how has this purpose come into your mind? you have been false, not to men, but to God.

bbe@Acts:5:5 @And at these words, Ananias went down on the earth, and his life went from him: and great fear came on all who were present.

bbe@Acts:5:6 @And the young men went and made ready his body, and took it out, and put it in the earth.

bbe@Acts:5:7 @And about three hours after, his wife, having no knowledge of what had taken place, came in.

bbe@Acts:5:8 @And Peter said to her, Give me an answer: was this amount of money the price of the land? And she said, Yes, it was.

bbe@Acts:5:9 @But Peter said to her, Why have you made an agreement together to be false to the Spirit of the Lord? See, the feet of the young men who have put the body of your husband in the earth, are at the door, and they will take you out.

bbe@Acts:5:10 @And straight away she went down at his feet, and her life went from her: and the young men came in and saw her dead, and they took her out and put her in the earth with her husband.

bbe@Acts:5:11 @Then great fear came on all the church and on all who had knowledge of these things.

bbe@Acts:5:14 @And a great number of men and women had faith, and were joined to the Lord;

bbe@Acts:5:15 @And they even took into the streets people who were ill, and put them on beds, so that when Peter went by, some of them might be in his shade.

bbe@Acts:5:16 @And numbers of people came together from the towns round about Jerusalem, with those who were ill and those who were troubled with unclean spirits: and they were all made well.

bbe@Acts:5:22 @But the men who were sent saw that they were not in the prison, and came back with the news,

bbe@Acts:5:25 @And someone came and said to them, The men, whom you put in prison, are in the Temple teaching the people.

bbe@Acts:5:26 @Then the captain and some of the police went and took them, but not violently, for fear that they might be stoned by the people.

bbe@Acts:5:28 @We gave you very clear orders not to give teaching in this name: and now Jerusalem is full of your teaching, and you are attempting to make us responsible for this man's death.

bbe@Acts:5:33 @But when these words came to their ears, they were cut to the heart, and had a mind to put them to death.

bbe@Acts:5:34 @But one of the Sanhedrin, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, a man of learning in the law, of whom all the people had a high opinion, got up and made a suggestion for the men to be put outside for a little time.

bbe@Acts:5:35 @And he said to them, Men of Israel, take care what you do about these men.

bbe@Acts:5:36 @For before this there was Theudas, who said he was someone important, to whom about four hundred men gave their support: he was put to death, and his band was broken up and came to nothing.

bbe@Acts:5:37 @After this man, there was Judas of Galilee, at the time of the numbering, and some of the people went after him: he was put to death, and all his supporters were put to flight.

bbe@Acts:5:38 @And now I say to you, Do nothing to these men, but let them be: for if this teaching or this work is of men, it will come to nothing:

bbe@Acts:5:39 @But if it is of God, you will not be able to overcome them, and you are in danger of fighting against God.

bbe@Acts:5:40 @And he seemed to them to be right: and they sent for the Apostles, and, after having them whipped and giving them orders to give no teaching in the name of Jesus, they let them go.

bbe@Acts:5:41 @So they went away from the Sanhedrin, happy to undergo shame for the Name.

bbe@Acts:6:3 @Take then from among you seven men of good name, full of the Spirit and of wisdom, to whom we may give control of this business.

bbe@Acts:6:4 @Then we will give all our time to prayer and the teaching of the word.

bbe@Acts:6:5 @And this saying was pleasing to all of them: and they made selection of Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit, and Philip and Prochorus and Nicanor and Timon and Parmenas and Nicolas of Antioch, who had become a Jew:

bbe@Acts:6:7 @And the word of God was increasing in power; and the number of the disciples in Jerusalem became very great, and a great number of priests were in agreement with the faith.

bbe@Acts:6:9 @But some of those who were of the Synagogue named that of the Libertines, and some of the men of Cyrene and of Alexandria and those from Cilicia and Asia, had arguments with Stephen.

bbe@Acts:6:11 @Then they got men to say, He has said evil against Moses and against God, in our hearing.

bbe@Acts:6:12 @And the people, with the rulers and the scribes, were moved against him, and they came and took him before the Sanhedrin,

bbe@Acts:7:2 @And he said, My brothers and fathers, give hearing. The God of glory came to our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he was living in Haran,

bbe@Acts:7:3 @And said to him, Go out of your land, and away from your family, and come into the land to which I will be your guide.

bbe@Acts:7:4 @Then he came out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and went into Haran; and from there, when his father was dead, he was guided by God into this land, where you are living now:

bbe@Acts:7:5 @And God gave him no heritage in it, not even enough to put his foot on: but he gave him an undertaking that he would give it to him and to his children after him, though he had no child at that time.

bbe@Acts:7:7 @And I will be the judge, said God, of that nation which made them servants: and after that, they will come out and give me worship in this place.

bbe@Acts:7:8 @And he made with him the agreement of which circumcision was the sign. And so Abraham had a son, Isaac, and gave him circumcision on the eighth day; and Isaac had a son, Jacob, and Jacob was the father of the twelve heads of the families of Israel.

bbe@Acts:7:12 @But Jacob, hearing that there was grain in Egypt, sent out our fathers the first time.

bbe@Acts:7:13 @And the second time his brothers had a meeting with Joseph, and Pharaoh had knowledge of Joseph's family.

bbe@Acts:7:15 @And Jacob went down to Egypt, and came to his end there, and so did our fathers;

bbe@Acts:7:17 @But when the time was near for putting into effect the undertaking which God had given to Abraham, the people were increasing in Egypt,

bbe@Acts:7:18 @Till another king came to power, who had no knowledge of Joseph.

bbe@Acts:7:20 @At which time Moses came to birth, and he was very beautiful; and he was kept for three months in his father's house:

bbe@Acts:7:23 @But when he was almost forty years old, it came into his heart to go and see his brothers, the children of Israel.

bbe@Acts:7:26 @And the day after, he came to them, while they were having a fight, and would have made peace between them, saying, Sirs, you are brothers; why do you do wrong to one another?

bbe@Acts:7:28 @Will you put me to death as you did the Egyptian yesterday?

bbe@Acts:7:29 @And at these words, Moses went in flight to the land of Midian, and was living there for a time, and had two sons.

bbe@Acts:7:30 @At the end of forty years, an angel came to him in the waste land of Sinai, in the flame of a burning thorn-tree.

bbe@Acts:7:31 @And Moses, seeing it, was full of wonder, and when he came up to have a nearer view of it, the voice of the Lord came to him, saying,

bbe@Acts:7:34 @Truly, I have seen the sorrows of my people in Egypt, and their cries have come to my ears, and I have come down to make them free: and now, come, I will send you to Egypt.

bbe@Acts:7:37 @This is the same Moses, who said to the children of Israel, God will give you a prophet from among your brothers, like me.

bbe@Acts:7:40 @And saying to Aaron, Make us gods to go before us: as for this Moses, who took us out of the land of Egypt, we have no idea what has become of him.

bbe@Acts:7:42 @But God was turned from them and let them give worship to the stars of heaven, as it says in the book of the prophets, Did you make offerings to me of sheep and oxen for forty years in the waste land, O house of Israel?

bbe@Acts:7:45 @Which our fathers, in their turn, took with them when, with Joshua, they came into the heritage of the nations whom God was driving out before the face of our fathers, till the time of David,

bbe@Acts:7:49 @Heaven is the seat of my power, and earth is a resting-place for my feet: what sort of house will you make for me, says the Lord, or what is my place of rest?

bbe@Acts:7:51 @You whose hearts are hard and whose ears are shut to me; you are ever working against the Holy Spirit; as your fathers did, so do you.

bbe@Acts:7:58 @Driving him out of the town and stoning him: and the witnesses put their clothing at the feet of a young man named Saul.

bbe@Acts:8:1 @And Saul gave approval to his death. Now at that time a violent attack was started against the church in Jerusalem; and all but the Apostles went away into all parts of Judaea and Samaria.

bbe@Acts:8:2 @And God-fearing men put Stephen's body in its last resting-place, making great weeping over him.

bbe@Acts:8:3 @But Saul was burning with hate against the church, going into every house and taking men and women and putting them in prison.

bbe@Acts:8:7 @For unclean spirits came out from those who had them, crying with a loud voice; and a number of those who were ill and broken in body were made well.

bbe@Acts:8:9 @But there was a certain man named Simon, who in the past had been a wonder-worker and a cause of surprise to the people of Samaria, saying that he himself was a great man:

bbe@Acts:8:10 @To whom they all gave attention, from the smallest to the greatest, saying, This man is that power of God which is named Great.

bbe@Acts:8:11 @And they gave attention to him, because for a long time his wonder-working powers had kept them under his control.

bbe@Acts:8:12 @But when they had faith in the good news given by Philip about the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, a number of men and women had baptism.

bbe@Acts:8:15 @Who, when they came there, made prayer for them, that the Holy Spirit might be given to them:

bbe@Acts:8:16 @For up to that time he had not come on any of them; only baptism had been given to them in the name of the Lord Jesus.

bbe@Acts:8:17 @Then they put their hands on them, and the Holy Spirit came on them.

bbe@Acts:8:19 @Give me this power, so that when I put my hands on anyone he may get the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Acts:8:20 @But Peter said, May your money come to destruction with you, because you had the idea that what is freely given by God may be got for a price.

bbe@Acts:8:24 @And Simon, answering, said, Make prayer for me to the Lord, so that these things which you have said may not come on me.

bbe@Acts:8:27 @And he went and there was a man of Ethiopia, a servant of great authority under Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, and controller of all her property, who had come up to Jerusalem for worship;

bbe@Acts:8:34 @And the Ethiopian said to Philip, About whom are these words said by the prophet? about himself, or some other?

bbe@Acts:8:36 @And while they were going on their way, they came to some water, and the Ethiopian said, See, here is water; why may I not have baptism?

bbe@Acts:8:39 @And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord took Philip away; and the Ethiopian saw him no more, for he went on his way full of joy.

bbe@Acts:8:40 @But Philip came to Azotus, and went through all the towns, preaching the good news, till he came to Caesarea.

bbe@Acts:9:2 @And made a request for letters from him to the Synagogues of Damascus, so that if there were any of the Way there, men or women, he might take them as prisoners to Jerusalem.

bbe@Acts:9:3 @And while he was journeying, he came near Damascus; and suddenly he saw a light from heaven shining round him;

bbe@Acts:9:4 @And he went down on the earth, and a voice said to him, Saul, Saul, why are you attacking me so cruelly?

bbe@Acts:9:7 @And the men who were with him were not able to say anything; hearing the voice, but seeing no one.

bbe@Acts:9:10 @Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus, named Ananias; and the Lord said to him in a vision, Ananias! and he said, Here I am, Lord.

bbe@Acts:9:11 @And the Lord said to him, Get up, and go to the street which is named Straight, and make search at the house of Judas for one named Saul of Tarsus: for he is at prayer;

bbe@Acts:9:12 @And he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hands on him, so that he may be able to see.

bbe@Acts:9:14 @And here he has authority from the chief priests to make prisoners all who give worship to your name.

bbe@Acts:9:15 @But the Lord said, Go without fear: for he is a special vessel for me, to give to the Gentiles and kings and to the children of Israel the knowledge of my name:

bbe@Acts:9:16 @For I will make clear to him what troubles he will have to undergo for me.

bbe@Acts:9:17 @And Ananias went out and came to the house, and putting his hands on him, said, Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, whom you saw when you were on your journey, has sent me, so that you may be able to see, and be full of the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Acts:9:18 @And straight away it seemed as if a veil was taken from his eyes, and he was able to see; and he got up, and had baptism;

bbe@Acts:9:19 @And when he had taken food his strength came back. And for some days he kept with the disciples who were in Damascus.

bbe@Acts:9:21 @And all those hearing him were full of wonder and said, Is not this the man who in Jerusalem was attacking all the worshippers of this name? and he had come here so that he might take them as prisoners before the chief priests.

bbe@Acts:9:22 @But Saul went on increasing in power, and the Jews in Damascus were not able to give answers to the arguments by which he made it clear that Jesus was the Christ.

bbe@Acts:9:23 @Then, after some days, the Jews made an agreement together to put him to death:

bbe@Acts:9:26 @And when he came to Jerusalem, he made an attempt to be joined to the disciples, but they were all in fear of him, not taking him for a disciple.

bbe@Acts:9:27 @But Barnabas took him to the Apostles and gave them an account of how he had seen the Lord on the road, and had given hearing to his words, and how at Damascus he had been preaching in the name of Jesus without fear.

bbe@Acts:9:29 @Preaching in the name of the Lord without fear; and he had discussions with the Greek Jews; but they were working for his death.

bbe@Acts:9:32 @And it came about that while Peter was going through all parts of the country he came to the saints who were living at Lydda.

bbe@Acts:9:33 @And there was a certain man there, named Aeneas, who for eight years had been in bed, without power of moving.

bbe@Acts:9:36 @Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple named Tabitha, that is, Dorcas: this woman was given to good works and acts of mercy at all times.

bbe@Acts:9:37 @And it came about, in those days, that she got ill and came to her death: and when she had been washed, they put her in a room which was high up.

bbe@Acts:9:38 @And because Lydda was near Joppa, the disciples, having knowledge that Peter was there, sent two men to him, requesting him to come to them straight away.

bbe@Acts:9:39 @And Peter went with them. And when he had come, they took him into the room: and all the widows were there, weeping and putting before him the coats and clothing which Dorcas had made while she was with them.

bbe@Acts:9:43 @And he was living in Joppa for some time with Simon, a leather-worker.

bbe@Acts:10:1 @Now there was a certain man in Caesarea, named Cornelius, the captain of the Italian band of the army;

bbe@Acts:10:2 @A serious-minded man, fearing God with all his family; he gave much money to the poor, and made prayer to God at all times.

bbe@Acts:10:4 @And he, looking on him in fear, said, What is it, Lord? And he said to him, Your prayers and your offerings have come up to God, and he has kept them in mind.

bbe@Acts:10:5 @Now send men to Joppa, and get one Simon, named Peter,

bbe@Acts:10:7 @And when the angel who said these words to him had gone away, he sent for two of his house-servants, and a God-fearing man of the army, one of those who were waiting on him at all times;

bbe@Acts:10:10 @And he was in need of food: but while they were getting it ready, a deep sleep came on him;

bbe@Acts:10:13 @And a voice came to him, saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.

bbe@Acts:10:15 @And the voice came to him a second time, What God has made clean, do not you make common.

bbe@Acts:10:16 @And this was done three times: and then the vessel was taken back into heaven.

bbe@Acts:10:17 @Now while Peter was in doubt as to the purpose of this vision, the men who were sent by Cornelius, having made search for Simon's house, came to the door,

bbe@Acts:10:18 @To see if Simon, named Peter, was living there.

bbe@Acts:10:19 @And, while Peter was turning the vision over in his mind, the Spirit said to him, See, three men are looking for you.

bbe@Acts:10:21 @And Peter went down to the men, and said, I am the man you are looking for: why have you come?

bbe@Acts:10:23 @So he took them in for the night. And the day after, he went with them, taking some of the brothers from Joppa with him.

bbe@Acts:10:24 @And the day after that, they came to Caesarea. And Cornelius was waiting for them, having got together his relations and his near friends.

bbe@Acts:10:25 @And when Peter came in, Cornelius came to him and, falling down at his feet, gave him worship.

bbe@Acts:10:27 @And saying these words, he went in, and saw that a great number of people had come together;

bbe@Acts:10:28 @And he said to them, You yourselves have knowledge that it is against the law for a man who is a Jew to be in the company of one who is of another nation; but God has made it clear to me that no man may be named common or unclean:

bbe@Acts:10:29 @And so I came without question, when I was sent for. What then is your purpose in sending for me?

bbe@Acts:10:30 @And Cornelius said, Four days from now I was in my house in prayer at the ninth hour; and I saw before me a man in shining clothing,

bbe@Acts:10:31 @Who said, Cornelius, your prayer has come to the ears of God, and your offerings are kept in his memory.

bbe@Acts:10:32 @Send, then, to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you; he is living in the house of Simon, a leather-worker, by the sea.

bbe@Acts:10:33 @So, straight away, I sent for you; and you have done well to come. And now, we are all present before God, ready to give attention to all the things which the Lord has given you to say.

bbe@Acts:10:41 @Not by all the people, but by witnesses marked out before by God, even by us, who took food and drink with him after he came back from the dead.

bbe@Acts:10:43 @To him all the prophets give witness, that through his name everyone who has faith in him will have forgiveness of sins.

bbe@Acts:10:44 @While Peter was saying these words, the Holy Spirit came on all those who were hearing the word.

bbe@Acts:10:45 @And the Jews of the faith, who had come with Peter, were full of wonder, because the Holy Spirit was given to the Gentiles,

bbe@Acts:10:48 @And he gave orders for them to have baptism in the name of Jesus Christ. Then they kept him with them for some days.

bbe@Acts:11:2 @And when Peter came to Jerusalem, those who kept the rule of circumcision had an argument with him,

bbe@Acts:11:3 @Saying, You went to men without circumcision, and took food with them.

bbe@Acts:11:5 @I was in the town of Joppa, at prayer: and falling into a deep sleep, I saw in a vision a vessel like a great cloth let down from heaven, and it came down to me:

bbe@Acts:11:7 @And a voice came to my ears saying, Come, Peter; take them for food.

bbe@Acts:11:8 @But I said, No, Lord; for nothing common or unclean has ever come into my mouth.

bbe@Acts:11:9 @But the voice, coming a second time from heaven, said, What God has made clean, do not you make common.

bbe@Acts:11:10 @And this was done three times, and they were all taken up again into heaven.

bbe@Acts:11:11 @And at that minute, three men, sent from Caesarea, came to the house where we were

bbe@Acts:11:12 @And the Spirit gave me orders to go with them, doubting nothing. And these six brothers came with me; and we went into that man's house:

bbe@Acts:11:13 @And he gave us an account of how he had seen the angel in his house, saying, Send to Joppa, and get Simon, named Peter, to come to you;

bbe@Acts:11:15 @And, while I was talking to them, the Holy Spirit came on them, as on us at first.

bbe@Acts:11:16 @And the words of the Lord came into my mind, how he said, The baptism of John was with water, but you will have baptism with the Holy Spirit.

bbe@Acts:11:17 @If then God gave them, when they had faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the same as he gave to us, who was I to go against God?

bbe@Acts:11:19 @Then those who had gone away at the time of the trouble about Stephen, went as far as Phoenicia and Cyprus, preaching to the Jews only.

bbe@Acts:11:20 @But some of them, men of Cyprus and Cyrene, when they came to Antioch, gave the good news about the Lord Jesus to the Greeks.

bbe@Acts:11:22 @And news of them came to the ears of the church at Jerusalem: and they sent Barnabas as far as Antioch:

bbe@Acts:11:23 @Who, when he came and saw the grace of God, was glad; and he made clear to them the need of keeping near the Lord with all the strength of their hearts:

bbe@Acts:11:26 @And when he had come across him, he took him to Antioch. And they were with the church there for a year, teaching the people; and the disciples were first given the name of Christians in Antioch.

bbe@Acts:11:27 @Now in those days prophets came from Jerusalem to Antioch.

bbe@Acts:11:28 @And one of them, named Agabus, said publicly through the Spirit that there would be serious need of food all over the earth: which came about in the time of Claudius.

bbe@Acts:12:1 @Now, about that time, Herod the king made cruel attacks on the Christians.

bbe@Acts:12:2 @And he put James, the brother of John, to death with the sword.

bbe@Acts:12:3 @And when he saw that this was pleasing to the Jews he went on to take Peter in addition. This was at the time of the feast of unleavened bread.

bbe@Acts:12:4 @And having taken him, he put him in prison, with four bands of armed men to keep watch over him; his purpose being to take him out to the people after the Passover.

bbe@Acts:12:6 @And when Herod was about to take him out, the same night Peter was sleeping in chains between two armed men, and the watchmen were keeping watch before the door of the prison.

bbe@Acts:12:7 @And a great light was seen shining in the room, and an angel of the Lord came to Peter and, touching him on his side so that he came out of his sleep, said, Get up quickly. And his chains came off his hands.

bbe@Acts:12:8 @Then the angel said, Put on your shoes and get ready to go. And he did so. And he said, Put your coat round you and come with me.

bbe@Acts:12:9 @And he went out after him; and he was not certain if what was done by the angel was a fact, for it seemed to him that he was seeing a vision.

bbe@Acts:12:10 @And when they had gone past the first and second watchmen they came to the iron door into the town, which came open by itself: and they went out and down one street; and then the angel went away.

bbe@Acts:12:11 @And when Peter came to his senses he said, Now, truly, I am certain that the Lord has sent his angel and taken me out of the hands of Herod, against all the hopes of the Jews.

bbe@Acts:12:12 @And when he became clear about this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John named Mark, where a number of them had come together for prayer.

bbe@Acts:12:13 @And he gave a blow on the door, and a young girl came to it, named Rhoda

bbe@Acts:12:17 @But he made a sign to them with his hand to be quiet, and gave them an account of how the Lord had taken him out of prison. And he said, Give the news to James and the brothers. And then he went away.

bbe@Acts:12:18 @Now when it was day, the armed men were greatly troubled about what had become of Peter.

bbe@Acts:12:19 @And Herod, when he sent for him, and he was not there, after questioning the watchmen, gave orders that they were to be put to death. Then he went down from Judaea to Caesarea for a time.

bbe@Acts:12:20 @Now he was very angry with the people of Tyre and Sidon: and they came to him, all together, and having made friends with Blastus, the controller of the king's house, they made a request for peace, because their country was dependent on the king's country for its food.

bbe@Acts:12:21 @And on the day which had been fixed, Herod, dressed in his robes and seated in his place, made a public statement to them.

bbe@Acts:12:23 @And straight away the angel of the Lord sent a disease on him, because he did not give the glory to God: and his flesh was wasted away by worms, and so he came to his end.

bbe@Acts:12:25 @And Barnabas and Saul came back from Jerusalem, when their work was ended, taking with them John named Mark.

bbe@Acts:13:1 @Now there were at Antioch, in the church there, prophets and teachers, Barnabas, and Symeon who was named Niger, and Lucius of Cyrene, and Manaen, a relation of Herod the king, and Saul.

bbe@Acts:13:2 @And while they were doing the Lord's work, and going without food, the Holy Spirit said, Let Barnabas and Saul be given to me for the special work for which they have been marked out by me.

bbe@Acts:13:6 @And when they had gone through all the island to Paphos, they came across a certain wonder-worker and false prophet, a Jew whose name was Bar-Jesus;

bbe@Acts:13:8 @But Elymas, the wonder-worker (for that is the sense of his name), put himself against them, with the purpose of turning the ruler from the faith.

bbe@Acts:13:9 @But Saul, whose other name is Paul, being full of the Holy Spirit, looking hard at him, said,

bbe@Acts:13:11 @And now, see, the hand of the Lord is on you, and you will be blind and not able to see the sun for a time. And straight away a dark mist came down on him; and he went about looking for a guide.

bbe@Acts:13:13 @Then Paul and those who were with him went by ship from Paphos and came to Perga in Pamphylia: and there John went away from them and came back to Jerusalem.

bbe@Acts:13:14 @But they, going through from Perga, came to Antioch in Pisidia; and they went into the Synagogue on the Sabbath and were seated.

bbe@Acts:13:16 @And Paul, getting up and making a sign with his hand, said, Men of Israel, and you who have the fear of God, give ear.

bbe@Acts:13:20 @And after these things he gave them judges, till the time of Samuel the prophet.

bbe@Acts:13:25 @And when John was completing his work, he said, What do I seem to you to be? I am not he; but one is coming after me, whose shoes I am not good enough to undo.

bbe@Acts:13:27 @For the men of Jerusalem and their rulers, having no knowledge of him, or of the sayings of the prophets which come to their ears every Sabbath day, gave effect to them by judging him.

bbe@Acts:13:31 @And for a number of days he was seen by those who came with him from Galilee to Jerusalem, who are now his witnesses before the people.

bbe@Acts:13:34 @And about his coming back from the dead, never again to go to destruction, he has said these words, I will give you the holy and certain mercies of David.

bbe@Acts:13:36 @Now David, having done God's work for his generation, went to sleep, and was put with his fathers, and his body came to destruction:

bbe@Acts:13:40 @So take care that these words of the prophets do not come true for you;

bbe@Acts:13:41 @See, you doubters, have wonder and come to your end; for I will do a thing in your days to which you will not give belief, even if it is made clear to you.

bbe@Acts:13:43 @Now when the meeting was ended, a number of the Jews and of the God-fearing Gentiles who had become Jews, went after Paul and Barnabas: who put before them how important it was to keep on in the grace of God.

bbe@Acts:13:44 @And on the Sabbath after, almost all the town came together to give hearing to the word of God.

bbe@Acts:13:50 @But the Jews, working up the feelings of the God-fearing women of high position and of the chief men of the town, got an attack started against Paul and Barnabas, driving them out of those parts.

bbe@Acts:13:51 @But they, shaking off the dust of that place from their feet, came to Iconium.

bbe@Acts:14:3 @So they kept there for a long time, taking heart in the Lord, who gave witness to the word of his grace by causing signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

bbe@Acts:14:4 @But there was a division among the people of the town; some were on the side of the Jews and some on the side of the Apostles.

bbe@Acts:14:11 @And when the people saw what Paul had done, they said in a loud voice, in the language of Lycaonia, The gods have come down to us in the form of men.

bbe@Acts:14:12 @And they gave the name of Jupiter to Barnabas, and to Paul that of Mercury, because he was the chief talker.

bbe@Acts:14:14 @But when this came to the ears of the Apostles, Paul and Barnabas, they went running out among the people, parting their clothing, and crying out,

bbe@Acts:14:15 @Good people, why are you doing these things? We are men with the same feelings as you, and we give you the good news so that you may be turned away from these foolish things to the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and all things in them:

bbe@Acts:14:16 @Who in the past let all nations go in the ways which seemed good to them.

bbe@Acts:14:17 @But he was not without witness, because he did good, and gave you rain from heaven and times of fruit, making your hearts full of food and joy

bbe@Acts:14:19 @But some Jews came to that place from Antioch and Iconium, and got control over the people; and after stoning Paul, they had him pulled out of the town, taking him for dead.

bbe@Acts:14:20 @But when the disciples came round him, he got up and went into the town: and the day after he went away with Barnabas to Derbe.

bbe@Acts:14:22 @Making strong the souls of the disciples, saying to them that they were to keep the faith, and that we have to go through troubles of all sorts to come into the kingdom of God.

bbe@Acts:14:23 @And when they had made selection of some to be rulers in every church, and had given themselves to prayer and kept themselves from food, they put them into the care of the Lord in whom they had faith.

bbe@Acts:14:24 @And they went through Pisidia and came to Pamphylia.

bbe@Acts:14:27 @And when they came there, and had got the church together, they gave them an account of all the things which God had done through them, and how he had made open a door of faith to the Gentiles.

bbe@Acts:14:28 @And they were with the disciples there for a long time.

bbe@Acts:15:1 @Now certain men came down from Judaea, teaching the brothers and saying that without circumcision, after the rule of Moses, there is no salvation.

bbe@Acts:15:2 @And after Paul and Barnabas had had no little argument and discussion with them, the brothers made a decision to send Paul and Barnabas and certain others of them to the Apostles and the rulers of the church at Jerusalem about this question.

bbe@Acts:15:4 @And when they came to Jerusalem, they had a meeting with the church and the Apostles and the rulers, and they gave an account of all the things which God had done through them.

bbe@Acts:15:5 @But some of the Pharisees, who were of the faith, got up and said, It is necessary for these to have circumcision and to keep the law of Moses.

bbe@Acts:15:6 @And the Apostles and the rulers of the church came together and gave thought to the question.

bbe@Acts:15:7 @And when there had been much discussion, Peter got up and said to them, My brothers, you have knowledge that some time back it was God's pleasure that by my mouth the good news might be given to the Gentiles so that they might have faith.

bbe@Acts:15:11 @But we have faith that we will get salvation through the grace of the Lord Jesus in the same way as they.

bbe@Acts:15:13 @And when they had come to an end, James, answering, said, My brothers, give ear to me:

bbe@Acts:15:14 @Symeon has given an account of how God was first pleased to take from among the Gentiles a people for himself.

bbe@Acts:15:15 @And this is in agreement with the words of the prophets, as it is said,

bbe@Acts:15:16 @After these things I will come back, and will put up the tent of David which has been broken down, building up again its broken parts and making it complete:

bbe@Acts:15:17 @So that the rest of men may make search for the Lord, and all the Gentiles on whom my name is named,

bbe@Acts:15:18 @Says the Lord, who has made these things clear from the earliest times.

bbe@Acts:15:21 @For Moses, from times long past, has his preachers in every town, reading his law in the Synagogues every Sabbath.

bbe@Acts:15:22 @Then it seemed good to the Apostles and the rulers and all the church, to send men from among them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas; Judas, named Barsabbas, and Silas, chief men among the brothers:

bbe@Acts:15:24 @Because we have knowledge that some who went from us have been troubling you with their words, putting your souls in doubt; to whom we gave no such order;

bbe@Acts:15:25 @It seemed good to us, having come to an agreement together, to send these men to you, with our well loved Barnabas and Paul,

bbe@Acts:15:26 @Men who have given up their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@Acts:15:27 @And so we have sent Judas and Silas, who will say the same things to you themselves, by word of mouth.

bbe@Acts:15:28 @For it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us, to put on you nothing more than these necessary things;

bbe@Acts:15:30 @So they, being sent away, came down to Antioch, and having got the people together, they gave them the letter.

bbe@Acts:15:33 @And when they had been there for some time, they were sent back in peace by the brothers to those who had sent them.

bbe@Acts:15:36 @And after some days, Paul said to Barnabas, Let us go back and see the brothers in every town where we have given the word of God, and see how they are.

bbe@Acts:15:37 @And Barnabas had a desire to take with them John, named Mark.

bbe@Acts:15:39 @And there was a sharp argument between them, so that they were parted from one another, and Barnabas took Mark with him and went by ship to Cyprus;

bbe@Acts:16:1 @And he came to Derbe and Lystra: and there was a certain disciple there named Timothy, whose mother was one of the Jews of the faith, but his father was a Greek;

bbe@Acts:16:7 @And having come to Mysia, they made an attempt to go into Bithynia, but the Spirit of Jesus did not let them;

bbe@Acts:16:8 @And going past Mysia, they came down to Troas.

bbe@Acts:16:9 @And Paul had a vision in the night; a man of Macedonia came, requesting him, and saying, Come over into Macedonia and give us help.

bbe@Acts:16:10 @And when he had seen the vision, straight away we made the decision to go into Macedonia, for it seemed certain to us that God had sent us to give the good news to them.

bbe@Acts:16:12 @And from there to Philippi, which is the most important town of Macedonia and a Roman colony: and we were there for some days.

bbe@Acts:16:13 @And on the Sabbath we went outside the town, by the river, where we had an idea that there would be a place of prayer; and, being seated, we had talk with the women who had come together.

bbe@Acts:16:14 @And a certain woman named Lydia, a trader in purple cloth of the town of Thyatira, and a God-fearing woman, gave ear to us: whose heart the Lord made open to give attention to the things which Paul was saying.

bbe@Acts:16:15 @And when she and her family had had baptism, she made a request to us, saying, If it seems to you that I am true to the Lord, come into my house and be my guests. And she made us come.

bbe@Acts:16:16 @And when we were going to the place of prayer, we came across a girl with a spirit which gave knowledge of the future, whose masters made great profit from her power.

bbe@Acts:16:17 @She came after Paul and us, crying out and saying, These men are the servants of the Most High God, who are giving you news of the way of salvation.

bbe@Acts:16:18 @And this she did on a number of days. But Paul was greatly troubled and, turning, said to the spirit, I give you orders in the name of Jesus Christ, to come out of her. And it came out that very hour.

bbe@Acts:16:20 @And when they had taken them before the authorities, they said, These men, who are Jews, are greatly troubling our town;

bbe@Acts:16:26 @And suddenly there was an earth-shock, so that the base of the prison was moved: and all the doors came open, and everyone's chains came off.

bbe@Acts:16:29 @And he sent for lights and came rushing in and, shaking with fear, went down on his face before Paul and Silas,

bbe@Acts:16:33 @And that same hour of the night, he took them, and when he had given attention to their wounds, he and all his family had baptism straight away.

bbe@Acts:16:35 @But when it was day, the authorities sent the police, saying, Let these men go.

bbe@Acts:16:36 @And the keeper said to Paul, The authorities have given orders to let you go: come out now, and go in peace.

bbe@Acts:16:37 @But Paul said to them, They have given us who are Romans a public whipping without judging us, and have put us in prison. Will they now send us out secretly? no, truly, let them come themselves and take us out.

bbe@Acts:16:39 @Then they came and made prayers to them, requesting them, when they had taken them out, to go away from the town.

bbe@Acts:16:40 @And they came out of the prison and went to the house of Lydia: and when they had seen the brothers they gave them comfort and went away.

bbe@Acts:17:1 @Now when they had gone through Amphipolis and Apollonia they came to Thessalonica, where there was a Synagogue of the Jews:

bbe@Acts:17:3 @Saying to them clearly and openly that Christ had to be put to death and come back to life again; and that this Jesus, whom, he said, I am preaching to you, is the Christ.

bbe@Acts:17:4 @And some of them had faith, and were joined to Paul and Silas; and a number of the God-fearing Greeks, and some of the chief women.

bbe@Acts:17:6 @And when they were not able to get them, they took Jason and some of the brothers by force before the rulers of the town, crying, These men, who have made trouble all over the world have now come here;

bbe@Acts:17:10 @And the brothers straight away sent Paul and Silas away by night to Beroea: and they, when they came there, went to the Synagogue of the Jews.

bbe@Acts:17:12 @And a number of them had faith, and no small number of the Greek women of high position and of the men.

bbe@Acts:17:13 @But when the Jews of Thessalonica had news that Paul was preaching the word at Beroea, they came there, troubling the people and working them up.

bbe@Acts:17:15 @But those who went with Paul took him as far as Athens, and then went away, with orders from him to Silas and Timothy to come to him quickly.

bbe@Acts:17:18 @And some of those who were supporters of the theories of the Epicureans and the Stoics, had a meeting with him. And some said, What is this talker of foolish words saying? And others, He seems to be a preacher of strange gods: because he was preaching of Jesus and his coming back from the dead.

bbe@Acts:17:21 @(Now all the Athenians and the men from other lands who come there were giving all their time to talking or hearing of anything new.)

bbe@Acts:17:22 @And Paul got to his feet on Mars' Hill and said, O men of Athens, I see that you are overmuch given to fear of the gods.

bbe@Acts:17:23 @For when I came by, I was looking at the things to which you give worship, and I saw an altar with this writing on it, TO THE GOD OF WHOM THERE IS NO KNOWLEDGE

bbe@Acts:17:25 @And he is not dependent on the work of men's hands, as if he had need of anything, for he himself gives to all life and breath and all things;

bbe@Acts:17:26 @And he has made of one blood all the nations of men living on all the face of the earth, ordering their times and the limits of their lands,

bbe@Acts:17:29 @If then we are the offspring of God, it is not right for us to have the idea that God is like gold or silver or stone, formed by the art or design of man.

bbe@Acts:17:30 @Those times when men had no knowledge were overlooked by God; but now he gives orders to all men in every place to undergo a change of heart:

bbe@Acts:17:31 @Because a day has been fixed in which all the world will be judged in righteousness by the man who has been marked out by him for this work; of which he has given a sign to all men by giving him back from the dead.

bbe@Acts:17:32 @Now on hearing about the coming back from death, some of them made sport of it, but others said, Let us go more fully into this another time.

bbe@Acts:17:34 @But some men gave him their support: among whom was Dionysius the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

bbe@Acts:18:1 @After these things, he went away from Athens, and came to Corinth.

bbe@Acts:18:2 @And there he came across a certain Jew named Aquila, a man of Pontus by birth, who not long before had come from Italy with his wife Priscilla, because Claudius had given orders that all Jews were to go away from Rome: and he came to them;

bbe@Acts:18:3 @And because he was of the same trade, he was living with them, and they did their work together; for by trade they were tent-makers.

bbe@Acts:18:5 @And when Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul was completely given up to the word, preaching to the Jews that the Christ was Jesus.

bbe@Acts:18:7 @And moving from there, he went into the house of a man named Titus Justus, a God-fearing man, whose house was very near the Synagogue.

bbe@Acts:18:14 @But when Paul was about to say something, Gallio said to the Jews, If this was anything to do with wrongdoing or crime, there would be a reason for me to give you a hearing:

bbe@Acts:18:15 @But if it is a question of words or names or of your law, see to it yourselves; I will not be a judge of such things.

bbe@Acts:18:18 @And Paul, after waiting some days, went away from the brothers and went by ship to Syria, Priscilla and Aquila being with him; and he had had his hair cut off in Cenchrea, for he had taken an oath.

bbe@Acts:18:19 @And they came down to Ephesus and he left them there: and he himself went into the Synagogue and had a discussion with the Jews.

bbe@Acts:18:20 @And being requested by them to be there for a longer time, he said, No;

bbe@Acts:18:21 @And went from them, saying, I will come back to you if God lets me; and he took ship from Ephesus.

bbe@Acts:18:22 @And when he had come to land at Caesarea, he went to see the church, and then went down to Antioch.

bbe@Acts:18:23 @And having been there for some time, he went through the country of Galatia and Phrygia in order, making the disciples strong in the faith.

bbe@Acts:18:24 @Now a certain Jew named Apollos, an Alexandrian by birth, and a man of learning, came to Ephesus; and he had great knowledge of the holy Writings.

bbe@Acts:18:27 @And when he had a desire to go over into Achaia, the brothers gave him help, and sent letters to the disciples requesting them to take him in among them: and when he had come, he gave much help to those who had faith through grace:

bbe@Acts:18:28 @For he overcame the Jews in public discussion, making clear from the holy Writings that the Christ was Jesus.

bbe@Acts:19:1 @And it came about that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul, having gone through the higher country, came to Ephesus, where there were certain disciples:

bbe@Acts:19:5 @And hearing this, they had baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus.

bbe@Acts:19:6 @And when Paul had put his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they had the power of talking in tongues, and acting like prophets.

bbe@Acts:19:7 @And there were about twelve of these men.

bbe@Acts:19:9 @But because some of the people were hard-hearted and would not give hearing, saying evil words about the Way before the people, he went away from them, and kept the disciples separate, reasoning every day in the school of Tyrannus.

bbe@Acts:19:13 @But some of the Jews who went from place to place driving out evil spirits, took it on themselves to make use of the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, I give you orders, by Jesus, whom Paul is preaching.

bbe@Acts:19:14 @And there were seven sons of a man named Sceva, a Jew and a chief priest, who did this.

bbe@Acts:19:16 @And the man in whom the evil spirit was, jumping on them, was stronger than the two of them, and overcame them, so that they went running from that house, wounded and without their clothing.

bbe@Acts:19:17 @And this came to the ears of all those, Jews and Greeks, who were living at Ephesus; and fear came on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was made great.

bbe@Acts:19:18 @And a number of those who had faith came and made a public statement of their sins and all their acts.

bbe@Acts:19:19 @And a great number of those who were experts in strange arts took their books and put them on the fire in front of everyone: and when the books were valued they came to fifty thousand bits of silver.

bbe@Acts:19:21 @Now after these things were ended, Paul came to a decision that when he had gone through Macedonia and Achaia he would go to Jerusalem, saying, After I have been there, I have a desire to see Rome.

bbe@Acts:19:22 @And having sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, into Macedonia, he himself went on living in Asia for a time.

bbe@Acts:19:23 @And about that time a great outcry took place about the Way.

bbe@Acts:19:24 @For there was a certain man named Demetrius, a silver-worker, who made silver boxes for the images of Diana, and gave no small profit to the workmen;

bbe@Acts:19:25 @Whom he got together, with other workmen of the same trade, and said to them, Men, it is clear that from this business we get our wealth.

bbe@Acts:19:26 @And you see, for it has come to your ears, that not only at Ephesus, but almost all through Asia, this Paul has been teaching numbers of people and turning them away, saying that those are not gods who are made by men's hands:

bbe@Acts:19:27 @And there is danger, not only that our trade may be damaged in the opinion of men, but that the holy place of the great goddess Diana may be no longer honoured, and that she to whom all Asia and the world give worship, will be put down from her high position.

bbe@Acts:19:29 @And the town was full of noise and trouble, and they all came running into the theatre, having taken by force Gaius and Aristarchus, men of Macedonia who were journeying in company with Paul.

bbe@Acts:19:31 @And some of the rulers of Asia, being his friends, sent to him, requesting him seriously not to put himself in danger by going into the theatre.

bbe@Acts:19:32 @And some said one thing, and some another: for there was no order in the meeting; and most of them had no idea why they had come together.

bbe@Acts:19:33 @Then they took Alexander out from among the people, the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander, making a sign with his hand, was about to make a statement to the people in answer:

bbe@Acts:19:35 @And when the chief secretary had got the people quiet, he said, Men of Ephesus, is any man without knowledge that the town of Ephesus is the keeper of the holy place of the great Diana, who was sent down from Jupiter?

bbe@Acts:19:37 @For you have taken these men, who are not doing damage to the holy place or talking against our goddess.

bbe@Acts:19:38 @If, then, Demetrius and the workmen who are with him have a protest to make against any man, the law is open to them, and there are judges; let them put up a cause at law against one another.

bbe@Acts:19:39 @But if any other business is in question, let it be taken up in the regular meeting.

bbe@Acts:19:41 @And when he had said this, he sent the meeting away.

bbe@Acts:20:1 @And after the noise had come to an end, Paul, having sent for the disciples and given them comfort, went away from them to Macedonia.

bbe@Acts:20:2 @And when he had gone through those parts and given them much teaching, he came into Greece.

bbe@Acts:20:6 @And we went away from Philippi by ship after the days of unleavened bread, and came to them at Troas in five days; and we were there for seven days.

bbe@Acts:20:7 @And on the first day of the week, when we had come together for the holy meal, Paul gave them a talk, for it was his purpose to go away on the day after; and he went on talking till after the middle of the night.

bbe@Acts:20:8 @And there were a number of lights in the room where we had come together.

bbe@Acts:20:9 @And a certain young man named Eutychus, who was seated in the window, went into a deep sleep; and while Paul went on talking, being overcome by sleep, he had a fall from the third floor, and was taken up dead.

bbe@Acts:20:11 @And when he had gone up, and had taken the broken bread, he went on talking to them for a long time, even till dawn, and then he went away.

bbe@Acts:20:14 @And when he came up with us at Assos, we took him in the ship and went on to Mitylene.

bbe@Acts:20:15 @And going from there by sea, we came on the day after opposite Chios, and touching at Samos on the day after that, we came on the third day to Miletus.

bbe@Acts:20:18 @And when they had come, he said to them, You yourselves have seen what my life has been like all the time from the day when I first came into Asia,

bbe@Acts:20:19 @Doing the Lord's work without pride, through all the sorrow and troubles which came on me because of the evil designs of the Jews:

bbe@Acts:20:22 @And now, as you see, I am going to Jerusalem, a prisoner in spirit, having no knowledge of what will come to me there:

bbe@Acts:20:23 @Only that the Holy Spirit makes clear to me in every town that prison and pains are waiting for me.

bbe@Acts:20:24 @But I put no value on my life, if only at the end of it I may see the work complete which was given to me by the Lord Jesus, to be a witness of the good news of the grace of God.

bbe@Acts:20:26 @And so I say to you this day that I am clean from the blood of all men.

bbe@Acts:20:29 @I am conscious that after I am gone, evil wolves will come in among you, doing damage to the flock;

bbe@Acts:20:30 @And from among yourselves will come men who will give wrong teaching, turning away the disciples after them.

bbe@Acts:20:34 @You yourselves have seen that with these hands I got what was necessary for me and those who were with me.

bbe@Acts:20:35 @In all things I was an example to you of how, in your lives, you are to give help to the feeble, and keep in memory the words of the Lord Jesus, how he himself said, There is a greater blessing in giving than in getting.

bbe@Acts:21:1 @And after parting from them, we put out to sea and came straight to Cos, and the day after to Rhodes, and from there to Patara:

bbe@Acts:21:3 @And when we had come in view of Cyprus, going past it on our left, we went on to Syria, and came to land at Tyre: for there the goods which were in the ship had to be taken out.

bbe@Acts:21:4 @And meeting the disciples we were there for seven days: and they gave Paul orders through the Spirit not to go up to Jerusalem.

bbe@Acts:21:5 @And when these days came to an end, we went on our journey; and they all, with their wives and children, came with us on our way till we were out of the town: and after going on our knees in prayer by the sea,

bbe@Acts:21:7 @And journeying by ship from Tyre we came to Ptolemais; and there we had talk with the brothers and were with them for one day.

bbe@Acts:21:8 @And on the day after, we went away and came to Caesarea, where we were guests in the house of Philip, the preacher, who was one of the seven.

bbe@Acts:21:10 @And while we were waiting there for some days, a certain prophet, named Agabus, came down from Judaea.

bbe@Acts:21:11 @And he came to us, and took the band of Paul's clothing, and putting it round his feet and hands, said, The Holy Spirit says these words, So will the Jews do to the man who is the owner of this band, and they will give him up into the hands of the Gentiles.

bbe@Acts:21:13 @Then Paul said, What are you doing, weeping and wounding my heart? for I am ready, not only to be a prisoner, but to be put to death at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus.

bbe@Acts:21:16 @And some of the disciples from Caesarea went with us, taking a certain Mnason of Cyprus, one of the early disciples, in whose house we were to be living.

bbe@Acts:21:17 @And when we came to Jerusalem, the brothers were pleased to see us.

bbe@Acts:21:18 @And on the day after, Paul went with us to James, and all the rulers of the church were present.

bbe@Acts:21:22 @What then is the position? They will certainly get news that you have come.

bbe@Acts:21:23 @Do this, then, which we say to you: We have four men who have taken an oath;

bbe@Acts:21:24 @Go with these, and make yourself clean with them, and make the necessary payments for them, so that they may be free from their oath: and everyone will see that the statements made about you are not true, but that you put yourself under rule, and keep the law.

bbe@Acts:21:26 @Then Paul took the men, and on the day after, making himself clean with them, he went into the Temple, giving out the statement that the days necessary for making them clean were complete, till the offering was made for every one of them.

bbe@Acts:21:28 @Crying out, Men of Israel, come to our help: this is the man who is teaching all men everywhere against the people and the law and this place: and in addition, he has taken Greeks into the Temple, and made this holy place unclean.

bbe@Acts:21:30 @And all the town was moved, and the people came running together and put their hands on Paul, pulling him out of the Temple: and then the doors were shut.

bbe@Acts:21:31 @And while they were attempting to put him to death, news came to the chief captain of the band that all Jerusalem was out of control.

bbe@Acts:21:32 @And straight away he took some armed men and went quickly down to them: and the Jews, seeing them, gave no more blows to Paul.

bbe@Acts:21:33 @Then the chief captain came near and took him, and gave orders for him to be put in chains, questioning them as to who he was and what he had done.

bbe@Acts:21:34 @And some said one thing and some another, among the people: and as he was not able to get a knowledge of the facts because of the noise, he gave orders for Paul to be taken into the army building.

bbe@Acts:21:35 @And when he came on to the steps, he was lifted up by the armed men, because of the force of the people;

bbe@Acts:21:36 @For a great mass of people came after them, crying out, Away with him!

bbe@Acts:21:37 @And when Paul was about to be taken into the building, he said to the chief captain, May I say something to you? And he said, Have you a knowledge of Greek?

bbe@Acts:21:38 @Are you by chance the Egyptian who, before this, got the people worked up against the government and took four thousand men of the Assassins out into the waste land?

bbe@Acts:21:39 @But Paul said, I am a Jew of Tarsus in Cilicia, which is not an unimportant town: I make a request to you to let me say a word to the people.

bbe@Acts:22:2 @And, hearing him talking in the Hebrew language, they became the more quiet, and he said,

bbe@Acts:22:4 @And I made attacks on this Way, even to death, taking men and women and putting them in prison.

bbe@Acts:22:5 @Of which the high priest will be a witness, and all the rulers, from whom I had letters to the brothers; and I went into Damascus, to take those who were there as prisoners to Jerusalem for punishment.

bbe@Acts:22:6 @And it came about that while I was on my journey, coming near to Damascus, about the middle of the day, suddenly I saw a great light from heaven shining round me.

bbe@Acts:22:7 @And when I went down on the earth, a voice came to my ears saying to me, Saul, Saul, why are you attacking me so cruelly?

bbe@Acts:22:8 @And I, answering, said, Who are you; Lord? And he said to me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom you are attacking.

bbe@Acts:22:9 @And those who were with me saw the light, but the voice of him who was talking to me came not to their ears.

bbe@Acts:22:10 @And I said, What have I to do, Lord? And the Lord said to me, Get up, and go into Damascus; and it will be made clear to you what you have to do.

bbe@Acts:22:11 @And because I was unable to see because of the glory of that light, those who were with me took me by the hand, and so I came to Damascus.

bbe@Acts:22:13 @Came to my side and said, Brother Saul, let your eyes be open. And in that very hour I was able to see him.

bbe@Acts:22:15 @For you will be a witness for him to all men of what you have seen and of what has come to your ears.

bbe@Acts:22:16 @And now, why are you waiting? get up, and have baptism, for the washing away of your sins, giving worship to his name

bbe@Acts:22:17 @And it came about that when I had come back to Jerusalem, while I was at prayer in the Temple, my senses became more than naturally clear,

bbe@Acts:22:18 @And I saw him saying to me, Go out of Jerusalem straight away because they will not give hearing to your witness about me.

bbe@Acts:22:21 @And he said to me, Go, for I will send you far away to the Gentiles.

bbe@Acts:22:27 @And the chief captain came to him and said, Give me an answer, are you a Roman? And he said, Yes.

bbe@Acts:22:30 @But on the day after, desiring to have certain knowledge of what the Jews had to say against him, he made him free, and gave orders for the chief priests and all the Sanhedrin to come together, and he took Paul and put him before them.

bbe@Acts:23:7 @And when he had said this, there was an argument between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and a division in the meeting.

bbe@Acts:23:9 @And there was a great outcry: and some of the scribes on the side of the Pharisees got up and took part in the discussion, saying, We see no evil in this man: what if he has had a revelation from an angel or a spirit?

bbe@Acts:23:10 @And when the argument became very violent, the chief captain, fearing that Paul would be pulled in two by them, gave orders to the armed men to take him by force from among them, and take him into the army building.

bbe@Acts:23:11 @And the night after, the Lord came to his side and said, Be of good heart, for as you have been witnessing for me in Jerusalem, so will you be my witness in Rome.

bbe@Acts:23:12 @And when it was day, the Jews came together and put themselves under an oath that they would take no food or drink till they had put Paul to death.

bbe@Acts:23:14 @And they came to the chief priests and the rulers and said, We have taken a great oath to take no food till we have put Paul to death

bbe@Acts:23:16 @But Paul's sister's son had word of their design, and he came into the army building and gave news of it to Paul.

bbe@Acts:23:18 @So he took him to the chief captain and said, Paul, the prisoner, made a request to me to take this young man to you, for he has something to say to you

bbe@Acts:23:19 @And the chief took him by the hand and, going on one side, said to him privately, What is it you have to say to me?

bbe@Acts:23:20 @And he said, The Jews are in agreement together to make a request to you for Paul to be taken, on the day after this, into the Sanhedrin, to be questioned in greater detail.

bbe@Acts:23:22 @So the chief captain let the young man go, saying to him, Do not say to anyone that you have given me word of these things.

bbe@Acts:23:23 @And he sent for two captains and said, Make ready two hundred men, with seventy horsemen and two hundred spearmen, to go to Caesarea, at the third hour of the night:

bbe@Acts:23:27 @This man was taken by the Jews, and was about to be put to death by them, when I came on them with the army and took him out of danger, having knowledge that he was a Roman.

bbe@Acts:23:29 @Then it became clear to me that it was a question of their law, and that nothing was said against him which might be a reason for prison or death.

bbe@Acts:23:30 @And when news was given to me that a secret design was being made against the man, I sent him straight away to you, giving orders to those who are against him to make their statements before you.

bbe@Acts:23:31 @So the armed men, as they were ordered, took Paul and came by night to Antipatris.

bbe@Acts:23:32 @But on the day after, they sent the horsemen on with him, and went back to their place:

bbe@Acts:23:33 @And they, when they came to Caesarea, gave the letter to the ruler, and took Paul before him.

bbe@Acts:23:34 @And after reading it, he said, What part of the country do you come from? And, hearing that he was from Cilicia,

bbe@Acts:23:35 @I will give hearing to your cause, he said, when those who are against you have come. And he gave orders for him to be kept in Herod's Praetorium.

bbe@Acts:24:1 @And after five days, the high priest, Ananias, came with certain of the rulers, and an expert talker, one Tertullus; and they made a statement to Felix against Paul.

bbe@Acts:24:2 @And when he had been sent for, Tertullus, starting his statement, said, Because by you we are living in peace, and through your wisdom wrongs are put right for this nation,

bbe@Acts:24:4 @But, so that I may not make you tired, I make a request to you of your mercy, to give hearing to a short statement.

bbe@Acts:24:5 @For this man, in our opinion, is a cause of trouble, a maker of attacks on the government among Jews through all the empire, and a chief mover in the society of the Nazarenes:

bbe@Acts:24:9 @And the Jews were in agreement with his statement, saying that these things were so.

bbe@Acts:24:11 @Seeing that you are able to make certain of the fact that it is not more than twelve days from the time when I came up to Jerusalem for worship;

bbe@Acts:24:12 @And they have not seen me in argument with any man in the Temple, or working up the feelings of the people, in the Synagogues or in the town:

bbe@Acts:24:13 @And they are not able to give facts in support of the things which they say against me now.

bbe@Acts:24:15 @Hoping in God for that which they themselves are looking for, that there will be a coming back from the dead for upright men and wrongdoers.

bbe@Acts:24:16 @And in this, I do my best at all times to have no reason for shame before God or men.

bbe@Acts:24:17 @Now after a number of years I came to give help and offerings to my nation:

bbe@Acts:24:19 @And it would have been better if they had come here to make a statement, if they have anything against me.

bbe@Acts:24:20 @Or let these men here present say what wrongdoing was seen in me when I was before the Sanhedrin,

bbe@Acts:24:22 @But Felix, who had a more detailed knowledge of the Way, put them off, saying, When Lysias, the chief captain, comes down, I will give attention to your business.

bbe@Acts:24:24 @But after some days, Felix came with Drusilla his wife, who was of the Jews by birth, and sent for Paul, and gave hearing to him about faith in Christ Jesus.

bbe@Acts:24:25 @And while he was talking about righteousness and self-control and the judging which was to come, Felix had great fear and said, Go away for the present, and when the right time comes I will send for you.

bbe@Acts:25:1 @So Festus, having come into that part of the country which was under his rule, after three days went up to Jerusalem from Caesarea.

bbe@Acts:25:2 @And the chief priests and the chief men of the Jews made statements against Paul,

bbe@Acts:25:4 @But Festus, in answer, said that Paul was being kept in prison at Caesarea, and that in a short time he himself was going there.

bbe@Acts:25:5 @So, he said, let those who have authority among you go with me, and if there is any wrong in the man, let them make a statement against him.

bbe@Acts:25:7 @And when he came, the Jews who had come down from Jerusalem came round him, and made all sorts of serious statements against him, which were not supported by the facts.

bbe@Acts:25:9 @But Festus, desiring to get the approval of the Jews, said to Paul, Will you go up to Jerusalem, and be judged before me there in connection with these things?

bbe@Acts:25:10 @And Paul said, I am before the seat of Caesar's authority where it is right for me to be judged: I have done no wrong to the Jews, as you are well able to see.

bbe@Acts:25:11 @If, then, I am a wrongdoer and there is a cause of death in me, I am ready for death: if it is not as they say against me, no man may give me up to them. Let my cause come before Caesar.

bbe@Acts:25:12 @Then Festus, having had a discussion with the Jews, made answer, You have said, Let my cause come before Caesar; to Caesar you will go.

bbe@Acts:25:13 @Now when some days had gone by, King Agrippa and Bernice came to Caesarea and went to see Festus.

bbe@Acts:25:14 @And as they were there for some days, Festus gave them Paul's story, saying, There is a certain man here who was put in prison by Felix:

bbe@Acts:25:15 @Against whom the chief priests and the rulers of the Jews made a statement when I was at Jerusalem, requesting me to give a decision against him.

bbe@Acts:25:16 @To whom I gave answer that it is not the Roman way to give a man up, till he has been face to face with those who are attacking him, and has had a chance to give an answer to the statements made against him.

bbe@Acts:25:17 @So, when they had come together here, straight away, on the day after, I took my place on the judge's seat and sent for the man.

bbe@Acts:25:18 @But when they got up they said nothing about such crimes as I had in mind:

bbe@Acts:25:23 @So on the day after, when Agrippa and Bernice in great glory had come into the public place of hearing, with the chief of the army and the chief men of the town, at the order of Festus, Paul was sent for.

bbe@Acts:25:24 @And Festus said, King Agrippa, and all those who are present here with us, you see this man, about whom all the Jews have made protests to me, at Jerusalem and in this place, saying that it is not right for him to be living any longer.

bbe@Acts:25:26 @But I have no certain account of him to send to Caesar. So I have sent for him to come before you, and specially before you, King Agrippa, so that after the business has been gone into, I may have something to put in writing.

bbe@Acts:25:27 @For it seems to me against reason to send a prisoner without making clear what there is against him.

bbe@Acts:26:2 @In my opinion I am happy, King Agrippa, to be able to give my answer before you today to all these things which the Jews say against me:

bbe@Acts:26:3 @The more so, because you are expert in all questions to do with the Jews and their ways: so I make my request to you to give me a hearing to the end.

bbe@Acts:26:8 @Why, in your opinion, is it outside belief for God to make the dead come to life again?

bbe@Acts:26:9 @For I, truly, was of the opinion that it was right for me to do a number of things against the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

bbe@Acts:26:10 @And this I did in Jerusalem: and numbers of the saints I put in prison, having had authority given to me from the chief priests, and when they were put to death, I gave my decision against them.

bbe@Acts:26:11 @And I gave them punishment frequently, in all the Synagogues, forcing them to say things against God; and burning with passion against them, I went after them even into far-away towns

bbe@Acts:26:13 @In the middle of the day, on the road I saw a light from heaven, brighter than the sun, shining round me and those who were journeying with me.

bbe@Acts:26:14 @And when we had all gone down on the earth, a voice came to me, saying in the Hebrew language, Saul, Saul, why are you attacking me so cruelly? It is hard for you to go against the impulse which is driving you.

bbe@Acts:26:16 @But get up on your feet: for I have come to you for this purpose, to make you a servant and a witness of the things in which you have seen me, and of those in which you will see me;

bbe@Acts:26:18 @To make their eyes open, turning them from the dark to the light, and from the power of Satan to God, so that they may have forgiveness of sins and a heritage among those who are made holy by faith in me.

bbe@Acts:26:21 @For this reason, the Jews took me in the Temple, and made an attempt to put me to death.

bbe@Acts:26:22 @And so, by God's help, I am here today, witnessing to small and great, saying nothing but what the prophets and Moses said would come about;

bbe@Acts:26:23 @That the Christ would go through pain, and being the first to come back from the dead, would give light to the people and to the Gentiles.

bbe@Acts:26:28 @And Agrippa said to Paul, A little more and you will be making me a Christian.

bbe@Acts:26:29 @And Paul said, It is my prayer to God that, in little or great measure, not only you, but all those hearing me today might be even as I am, but for these chains.

bbe@Acts:27:1 @And when the decision had been made that we were to go by sea to Italy, they gave Paul and certain other prisoners into the care of a captain named Julius, of the Augustan band.

bbe@Acts:27:3 @And on the day after, we came to Sidon; and Julius was kind to Paul, and let him go to see his friends and take a rest.

bbe@Acts:27:5 @And having gone across the sea off Cilicia and Pamphylia we came to Myra, in Lycia.

bbe@Acts:27:6 @And there the captain came across a ship of Alexandria, sailing for Italy, and put us in it.

bbe@Acts:27:7 @And when we had gone on slowly for a long time, and had had hard work getting across to Cnidus, for the wind was against us, we went under cover of Crete, in the direction of Salmone;

bbe@Acts:27:8 @And sailing down the side of it, as well as we were able, we came to a certain place named Fair Havens, near which was the town of Lasea.

bbe@Acts:27:9 @And as a long time had gone by, and the journey was now full of danger, because it was late in the year, Paul put the position before them,

bbe@Acts:27:13 @And when the south wind came softly, being of the opinion that their purpose might be effected, they let the ship go and went sailing down the side of Crete, very near to the land

bbe@Acts:27:14 @But after a little time, a very violent wind, named Euraquilo, came down from it with great force.

bbe@Acts:27:16 @And, sailing near the side of a small island named Cauda, we were able, though it was hard work, to make the ship's boat safe:

bbe@Acts:27:20 @And as we had not seen the sun or stars for a long time, and a great storm was on us, all hope of salvation was gone.

bbe@Acts:27:21 @And when they had been without food for a long time, Paul got up among them and said, Friends, it would have been better if you had given attention to me and not gone sailing out from Crete, to undergo this damage and loss.

bbe@Acts:27:23 @For this night there came to my side an angel of the God who is my Master and whose servant I am,

bbe@Acts:27:24 @Saying, Have no fear, Paul, for you will come before Caesar, and God has given to you all those who are sailing with you.

bbe@Acts:27:25 @And so, O men, be of good heart, for I have faith in God that it will be as he said to me.

bbe@Acts:27:27 @But when the fourteenth day came, while we were going here and there in the Adriatic sea, about the middle of the night the sailors had an idea that they were getting near land;

bbe@Acts:27:28 @And they let down the lead, and saw that the sea was a hundred and twenty feet deep; and after a little time they did it again and it was ninety feet.

bbe@Acts:27:29 @Then, fearing that by chance we might come on to the rocks, they let down four hooks from the back of the ship, and made prayers for the coming of day.

bbe@Acts:27:31 @But Paul said to the captain and his men, If you do not keep these men in the ship, you will not be safe.

bbe@Acts:27:32 @Then the armed men, cutting the cords of the boat, let her go.

bbe@Acts:27:34 @So I make request to you to take food; for this is for your salvation: not a hair from the head of any of you will come to destruction.

bbe@Acts:27:35 @And when he had said this and had taken bread, he gave praise to God before them all, and took a meal of the broken bread.

bbe@Acts:27:36 @Then they all took heart and did the same.

bbe@Acts:27:42 @Then the armed men were for putting the prisoners to death, so that no one would get away by swimming.

bbe@Acts:27:44 @And the rest, some on boards and some on things from the ship. And so it came about that they all got safe to land.

bbe@Acts:28:1 @And when we were safe, we made the discovery that the island was named Melita.

bbe@Acts:28:3 @But when Paul had got some sticks together and put them on the fire, a snake came out, because of the heat, and gave him a bite on the hand.

bbe@Acts:28:4 @And when the people saw it hanging on his hand, they said to one another, Without doubt this man has put someone to death, and though he has got safely away from the sea, God will not let him go on living.

bbe@Acts:28:6 @But they had the idea that they would see him becoming ill, or suddenly falling down dead; but after waiting a long time, and seeing that no damage came to him, changing their opinion, they said he was a god.

bbe@Acts:28:7 @Now near that place there was some land, the property of the chief man of the island, who was named Publius; who very kindly took us into his house as his guests for three days.

bbe@Acts:28:9 @And when this took place, all the others in the island who had diseases came and were made well.

bbe@Acts:28:13 @And from there, going about in a curve, we came to Rhegium: and after one day a south wind came up and on the day after we came to Puteoli:

bbe@Acts:28:14 @Where we came across some of the brothers, who kept us with them for seven days; and so we came to Rome.

bbe@Acts:28:15 @And the brothers, when they had news of us, came out from town as far as Appii Forum and the Three Taverns to have a meeting with us: and Paul, seeing them, gave praise to God and took heart

bbe@Acts:28:16 @And when we came into Rome, they let Paul have a house for himself and the armed man who kept watch over him.

bbe@Acts:28:17 @Then after three days he sent for the chief men of the Jews: and when they had come together, he said to them, My brothers, though I had done nothing against the people or the ways of our fathers, I was given, a prisoner from Jerusalem, into the hands of the Romans.

bbe@Acts:28:18 @Who, when they had put questions to me, were ready to let me go free, because there was no cause of death in me.

bbe@Acts:28:21 @And they said to him, We have not had letters from Judaea about you, and no one of the brothers has come to us here to give an account or say any evil about you.

bbe@Acts:28:23 @And when a day had been fixed, they came to his house in great numbers; and he gave them teaching, giving witness to the kingdom of God, and having discussions with them about Jesus, from the law of Moses and from the prophets, from morning till evening.

bbe@Acts:28:24 @And some were in agreement with what he said, but some had doubts.

bbe@Acts:28:27 @For the heart of this people has become fat and their ears are slow in hearing and their eyes are shut; for fear that they might see with their eyes and give hearing with their ears and become wise in their hearts and be turned again to me, so that I might make them well.

bbe@Romans:1:3 @About his Son who, in the flesh, came from the family of David,

bbe@Romans:1:5 @Through whom grace has been given to us, sending us out to make disciples to the faith among all nations, for his name:

bbe@Romans:1:6 @Among whom you in the same way have been marked out to be disciples of Jesus Christ:

bbe@Romans:1:7 @To all those who are in Rome, loved by God, marked out as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@Romans:1:9 @For God is my witness, whose servant I am in spirit in the good news of his Son, that you are at all times in my memory and in my prayers,

bbe@Romans:1:10 @And that I am ever making prayers that God will give me a good journey to you.

bbe@Romans:1:11 @For I have a strong desire to see you, and to give you some grace of the spirit, so that you may be made strong;

bbe@Romans:1:12 @That is to say, that all of us may be comforted together by the faith which is in you and in me.

bbe@Romans:1:13 @You may be certain, my brothers, that it has frequently been in my mind to come to you (but till now I was kept from it), so that I might have some fruit from you in the same way as I have had it from the other nations.

bbe@Romans:1:15 @For which reason I have the desire, as far as I am able, to give the knowledge of the good news to you who are in Rome.

bbe@Romans:1:16 @For I have no feeling of shame about the good news, because it is the power of God giving salvation to everyone who has faith, to the Jew first, and then to the Greek.

bbe@Romans:1:18 @For there is a revelation of the wrath of God from heaven against all the wrongdoing and evil thoughts of men who keep down what is true by wrongdoing;

bbe@Romans:1:20 @For from the first making of the world, those things of God which the eye is unable to see, that is, his eternal power and existence, are fully made clear, he having given the knowledge of them through the things which he has made, so that men have no reason for wrongdoing:

bbe@Romans:1:24 @For this reason God gave them up to the evil desires of their hearts, working shame in their bodies with one another:

bbe@Romans:1:26 @For this reason God gave them up to evil passions, and their women were changing the natural use into one which is unnatural:

bbe@Romans:1:27 @And in the same way the men gave up the natural use of the woman and were burning in their desire for one another, men doing shame with men, and getting in their bodies the right reward of their evil-doing.

bbe@Romans:1:29 @Being full of all wrongdoing, evil, desire for the goods of others, hate, envy, putting to death, fighting, deceit, cruel ways, evil talk, and false statements about others;

bbe@Romans:1:31 @Without knowledge, not true to their undertakings, unkind, having no mercy:

bbe@Romans:2:1 @So you have no reason, whoever you are, for judging: for in judging another you are judging yourself, for you do the same things.

bbe@Romans:2:8 @But to those who, from a love of competition, are not guided by what is true, will come the heat of his wrath,

bbe@Romans:2:12 @All those who have done wrong without the law will get destruction without the law: and those who have done wrong under the law will have their punishment by the law;

bbe@Romans:2:15 @Because the work of the law is seen in their hearts, their sense of right and wrong giving witness to it, while their minds are at one time judging them and at another giving them approval;

bbe@Romans:2:16 @In the day when God will be a judge of the secrets of men, as it says in the good news of which I am a preacher, through Jesus Christ.

bbe@Romans:2:17 @But as for you who have the name of Jew, and are resting on the law, and take pride in God,

bbe@Romans:2:24 @For the name of God is shamed among the Gentiles because of you, as it is said in the holy Writings.

bbe@Romans:2:29 @But he is a Jew who is a secret one, whose circumcision is of the heart, in the spirit and not in the letter; whose praise is not from men, but from God.

bbe@Romans:3:3 @And if some have no faith, will that make the faith of God without effect?

bbe@Romans:3:5 @But if the righteousness of God is supported by our wrongdoing what is to be said? is it wrong for God to be angry (as men may say)?

bbe@Romans:3:8 @Let us not do evil so that good may come (a statement which we are falsely said by some to have made), because such behaviour will have its right punishment.

bbe@Romans:3:19 @Now, we have knowledge that what the law says is for those who are under the law, so that every mouth may be stopped, and all men may be judged by God:

bbe@Romans:3:20 @Because by the works of the law no man is able to have righteousness in his eyes, for through the law comes the knowledge of sin.

bbe@Romans:3:25 @Whom God has put forward as the sign of his mercy, through faith, by his blood, to make clear his righteousness when, in his pity, God let the sins of earlier times go without punishment;

bbe@Romans:3:29 @Or is God the God of Jews only? is he not in the same way the God of Gentiles? Yes, of Gentiles:

bbe@Romans:4:9 @Is this blessing, then, for the circumcision only, or in the same way for those who have not circumcision? for we say that the faith of Abraham was put to his account as righteousness.

bbe@Romans:4:15 @For the outcome of the law is wrath; but where there is no law it will not be broken.

bbe@Romans:4:18 @Who without reason for hope, in faith went on hoping, so that he became the father of a number of nations, as it had been said, So will your seed be.

bbe@Romans:4:19 @And not being feeble in faith though his body seemed to him little better than dead (he being about a hundred years old) and Sarah was no longer able to have children:

bbe@Romans:4:24 @But for us in addition, to whose account it will be put, if we have faith in him who made Jesus our Lord come back again from the dead,

bbe@Romans:4:25 @Who was put to death for our evil-doing, and came to life again so that we might have righteousness.

bbe@Romans:5:2 @Through whom, in the same way, we have been able by faith to come to this grace in which we now are; and let us have joy in hope of the glory of God.

bbe@Romans:5:5 @And hope does not put to shame; because our hearts are full of the love of God through the Holy Spirit which is given to us.

bbe@Romans:5:6 @For when we were still without strength, at the right time Christ gave his life for evil-doers.

bbe@Romans:5:7 @Now it is hard for anyone to give his life even for an upright man, though it might be that for a good man someone would give his life.

bbe@Romans:5:9 @Much more, if we now have righteousness by his blood, will salvation from the wrath of God come to us through him.

bbe@Romans:5:12 @For this reason, as through one man sin came into the world, and death because of sin, and so death came to all men, because all have done evil:

bbe@Romans:5:13 @Because, till the law came, sin was in existence, but sin is not put to the account of anyone when there is no law to be broken.

bbe@Romans:5:14 @But still death had power from Adam till Moses, even over those who had not done wrong like Adam, who is a picture of him who was to come.

bbe@Romans:5:15 @But the free giving of God is not like the wrongdoing of man. For if, by the wrongdoing of one man death came to numbers of men, much more did the grace of God, and the free giving by the grace of one man, Jesus Christ, come to men.

bbe@Romans:5:16 @And the free giving has not the same effect as the sin of one: for the effect of one man's sin was punishment by the decision of God, but the free giving had power to give righteousness to wrongdoers in great number.

bbe@Romans:5:17 @For, if by the wrongdoing of one, death was ruling through the one, much more will those to whom has come the wealth of grace and the giving of righteousness, be ruling in life through the one, even Jesus Christ.

bbe@Romans:5:18 @So then, as the effect of one act of wrongdoing was that punishment came on all men, even so the effect of one act of righteousness was righteousness of life for all men.

bbe@Romans:5:19 @Because, as numbers of men became sinners through the wrongdoing of one man, even so will great numbers get righteousness through the keeping of the word of God by one man.

bbe@Romans:5:20 @And the law came in addition, to make wrongdoing worse; but where there was much sin, there was much more grace:

bbe@Romans:6:4 @We have been placed with him among the dead through baptism into death: so that as Christ came again from the dead by the glory of the Father, we, in the same way, might be living in new life.

bbe@Romans:6:5 @For, if we have been made like him in his death, we will, in the same way, be like him in his coming to life again;

bbe@Romans:6:9 @Having knowledge that because Christ has come back from the dead, he will never again go down to the dead; death has no more power over him.

bbe@Romans:6:13 @And do not give your bodies to sin as the instruments of wrongdoing, but give yourselves to God, as those who are living from the dead, and your bodies as instruments of righteousness to God.

bbe@Romans:6:19 @I am using words in the way of men, because your flesh is feeble: as you gave your bodies as servants to what is unclean, and to evil to do evil, so now give them as servants to righteousness to do what is holy.

bbe@Romans:6:21 @What fruit had you at that time in the things which are now a shame to you? for the end of such things is death.

bbe@Romans:7:1 @Is it not clear, my brothers (I am using an argument to those who have knowledge of the law), that the law has power over a man as long as he is living?

bbe@Romans:7:3 @So if, while the husband is living, she is joined to another man, she will get the name of one who is untrue to her husband: but if the husband is dead, she is free from the law, so that she is not untrue, even if she takes another man.

bbe@Romans:7:4 @In the same way, my brothers, you were made dead to the law through the body of Christ, so that you might be joined to another, even to him who came again from the dead, so that we might give fruit to God.

bbe@Romans:7:5 @For when we were in the flesh, the evil passions which came into being through the law were working in our bodies to give the fruit of death.

bbe@Romans:7:8 @But sin, taking its chance through that which was ordered by the law, was working in me every form of desire: because without the law sin is dead.

bbe@Romans:7:9 @And there was a time when I was living without the law: but when the law gave its orders, sin came to life and put me to death;

bbe@Romans:7:10 @And I made the discovery that the law whose purpose was to give life had become a cause of death:

bbe@Romans:7:13 @Was then that which is good, death to me? In no way. But the purpose was that sin might be seen to be sin by working death to me through that which is good; so that through the orders of the law sin might seem much more evil.

bbe@Romans:7:16 @But, if I do that which I have no mind to do, I am in agreement with the law that the law is good

bbe@Romans:7:17 @So it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

bbe@Romans:7:18 @For I am conscious that in me, that is, in my flesh, there is nothing good: I have the mind but not the power to do what is right.

bbe@Romans:7:20 @But if I do what I have no mind to do, it is no longer I who do it, but the sin living in me.

bbe@Romans:7:21 @So I see a law that, though I have a mind to do good, evil is present in me.

bbe@Romans:7:23 @But I see another law in my body, working against the law of my mind, and making me the servant of the law of sin which is in my flesh.

bbe@Romans:7:24 @How unhappy am I! who will make me free from the body of this death?

bbe@Romans:8:2 @For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

bbe@Romans:8:11 @But if the Spirit of him who made Jesus come again from the dead is in you, he who made Christ Jesus come again from the dead will in the same way, through his Spirit which is in you, give life to your bodies which now are under the power of death.

bbe@Romans:8:13 @For if you go in the way of the flesh, death will come on you; but if by the Spirit you put to death the works of the body, you will have life.

bbe@Romans:8:17 @And if we are children, we have a right to a part in the heritage; a part in the things of God, together with Christ; so that if we have a part in his pain, we will in the same way have a part in his glory.

bbe@Romans:8:18 @I am of the opinion that there is no comparison between the pain of this present time and the glory which we will see in the future

bbe@Romans:8:23 @And not only so, but we who have the first fruits of the Spirit, even we have sorrow in our minds, waiting for the time when we will take our place as sons, that is, the salvation of our bodies.

bbe@Romans:8:26 @And in the same way the Spirit is a help to our feeble hearts: for we are not able to make prayer to God in the right way; but the Spirit puts our desires into words which are not in our power to say;

bbe@Romans:8:27 @And he who is the searcher of hearts has knowledge of the mind of the Spirit, because he is making prayers for the saints in agreement with the mind of God.

bbe@Romans:8:29 @Because those of whom he had knowledge before they came into existence, were marked out by him to be made like his Son, so that he might be the first among a band of brothers:

bbe@Romans:8:30 @And those who were marked out by him were named; and those who were named were given righteousness; and to those to whom he gave righteousness, in the same way he gave glory.

bbe@Romans:8:34 @Who will give a decision against us? It is Christ Jesus who not only was put to death, but came again from the dead, who is now at the right hand of God, taking our part.

bbe@Romans:8:35 @Who will come between us and the love of Christ? Will trouble, or pain, or cruel acts, or the need of food or of clothing, or danger, or the sword?

bbe@Romans:8:37 @But we are able to overcome all these things and more through his love.

bbe@Romans:8:38 @For I am certain that not death, or life, or angels, or rulers, or things present, or things to come, or powers,

bbe@Romans:8:39 @Or things on high, or things under the earth, or anything which is made, will be able to come between us and the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

bbe@Romans:9:1 @I say what is true in Christ, and not what is false, my mind giving witness with me in the Holy Spirit,

bbe@Romans:9:4 @Who are Israelites: who have the place of sons, and the glory, and the agreements with God, and the giving of the law, and the worship, and the hope offered by God:

bbe@Romans:9:5 @Whose are the fathers, and of whom came Christ in the flesh, who is over all, God, to whom be blessing for ever. So be it.

bbe@Romans:9:7 @And they are not all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, In Isaac will your seed be named.

bbe@Romans:9:8 @That is, it is not the children of the flesh, but the children of God's undertaking, who are named as the seed.

bbe@Romans:9:9 @For this is the word of God's undertaking, At this time will I come, and Sarah will have a son.

bbe@Romans:9:11 @Before the children had come into existence, or had done anything good or bad, in order that God's purpose and his selection might be effected, not by works, but by him whose purpose it is,

bbe@Romans:9:15 @For he says to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and pity on whom I will have pity.

bbe@Romans:9:16 @So then, it is not by the desire or by the attempt of man, but by the mercy of God.

bbe@Romans:9:17 @For the holy Writings say to Pharaoh, For this same purpose did I put you on high, so that I might make my power seen in you, and that there might be knowledge of my name through all the earth.

bbe@Romans:9:18 @So then, at his pleasure he has mercy on a man, and at his pleasure he makes the heart hard.

bbe@Romans:9:19 @But you will say to me, Why does he still make us responsible? who is able to go against his purpose?

bbe@Romans:9:20 @But, O man, who are you, to make answer against God? May the thing which is made say to him who made it, Why did you make me so?

bbe@Romans:9:21 @Or has not the potter the right to make out of one part of his earth a vessel for honour, and out of another a vessel for shame?

bbe@Romans:9:22 @What if God, desiring to let his wrath and his power be seen, for a long time put up with the vessels of wrath which were ready for destruction:

bbe@Romans:9:23 @And to make clear the wealth of his glory to vessels of mercy, which he had before made ready for glory,

bbe@Romans:9:25 @As he says in Hosea, They will be named my people who were not my people, and she will be loved who was not loved.

bbe@Romans:9:26 @And in the place where it was said to them, You are not my people, there they will be named the sons of the living God.

bbe@Romans:9:32 @Why? Because they were not searching for it by faith, but by works. They came up against the stone which was in the way;

bbe@Romans:9:33 @As it is said, See, I am putting in Zion a stone causing a fall, and a rock in the way: but he who has faith in him will not be put to shame.

bbe@Romans:10:6 @But the righteousness which is of faith says these words, Say not in your heart, Who will go up to heaven? (that is, to make Christ come down:)

bbe@Romans:10:7 @Or, Who will go down into the deep? (that is, to make Christ come again from the dead:)

bbe@Romans:10:9 @Because, if you say with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and have faith in your heart that God has made him come back from the dead, you will have salvation:

bbe@Romans:10:11 @Because it is said in the holy Writings, Whoever has faith in him will not be shamed.

bbe@Romans:10:12 @And the Jew is not different from the Greek: for there is the same Lord of all, who is good to all who have hope in his name:

bbe@Romans:10:13 @Because, Whoever will give worship to the name of the Lord will get salvation.

bbe@Romans:10:17 @So faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ.

bbe@Romans:10:18 @But I say, Did not the word come to their ears? Yes, certainly: Their sound has gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

bbe@Romans:10:20 @And Isaiah says without fear, Those who were not searching for me made discovery of me; and I was seen by those whose hearts were turned away from me.

bbe@Romans:11:3 @Lord, they have put your prophets to death, and made waste your altars, and now I am the last, and they are searching for me to take away my life.

bbe@Romans:11:4 @But what answer does God make to him? I have still seven thousand men whose knees have not been bent to Baal.

bbe@Romans:11:5 @In the same way, there are at this present time some who are marked out by the selection of grace.

bbe@Romans:11:9 @And David says, Let their table be made a net for taking them, and a stone in their way, and a punishment:

bbe@Romans:11:10 @Let their eyes be made dark so that they may not see, and let their back be bent down at all times.

bbe@Romans:11:11 @So I say, Were their steps made hard in order that they might have a fall? In no way: but by their fall salvation has come to the Gentiles, so that they might be moved to envy

bbe@Romans:11:14 @If in any way those who are of my flesh may be moved to envy, so that some of them may get salvation by me.

bbe@Romans:11:15 @For, if by their putting away, the rest of men have been made friends with God, what will their coming back again be, but life from the dead?

bbe@Romans:11:17 @But if some of the branches were broken off, and you, an olive-tree of the fields, were put in among them, and were given a part with them in the root by which the olive-tree is made fertile,

bbe@Romans:11:21 @For, if God did not have mercy on the natural branches, he will not have mercy on you.

bbe@Romans:11:22 @See then that God is good but his rules are fixed: to those who were put away he was hard, but to you he has been good, on the condition that you keep in his mercy; if not, you will be cut off as they were.

bbe@Romans:11:25 @For it is my desire, brothers, that this secret may be clear to you, so that you may not have pride in your knowledge, that Israel has been made hard in part, till all the Gentiles have come in;

bbe@Romans:11:26 @And so all Israel will get salvation: as it is said in the holy Writings, There will come out of Zion the One who makes free; by him wrongdoing will be taken away from Jacob:

bbe@Romans:11:27 @And this is my agreement with them, when I will take away their sins.

bbe@Romans:11:29 @Because God's selection and his mercies may not be changed.

bbe@Romans:11:30 @For as you, in time past, were not under the rule of God, but now have got mercy through their turning away,

bbe@Romans:11:31 @So in the same way these have gone against the orders of God, so that by the mercy given to you they may now get mercy.

bbe@Romans:11:32 @For God has let them all go against his orders, so that he might have mercy on them all.

bbe@Romans:12:1 @For this reason I make request to you, brothers, by the mercies of God, that you will give your bodies as a living offering, holy, pleasing to God, which is the worship it is right for you to give him.

bbe@Romans:12:3 @But I say to every one of you, through the grace given to me, not to have an over-high opinion of himself, but to have wise thoughts, as God has given to every one a measure of faith.

bbe@Romans:12:4 @For, as we have a number of parts in one body, but all the parts have not the same use,

bbe@Romans:12:6 @And having different qualities by reason of the grace given to us, such as the quality of a prophet, let it be made use of in relation to the measure of our faith;

bbe@Romans:12:8 @He who has the power of comforting, let him do so; he who gives, let him give freely; he who has the power of ruling, let him do it with a serious mind; he who has mercy on others, let it be with joy.

bbe@Romans:12:12 @Being glad in hope, quiet in trouble, at all times given to prayer,

bbe@Romans:12:16 @Be in harmony with one another. Do not have a high opinion of yourselves, but be in agreement with common people. Do not give yourselves an air of wisdom.

bbe@Romans:12:17 @Do not give evil for evil to any man. Let all your business be well ordered in the eyes of all men.

bbe@Romans:12:18 @As far as it is possible for you be at peace with all men.

bbe@Romans:12:19 @Do not give punishment for wrongs done to you, dear brothers, but give way to the wrath of God; for it is said in the holy Writings, Punishment is mine, I will give reward, says the Lord.

bbe@Romans:12:21 @Do not let evil overcome you, but overcome evil by good.

bbe@Romans:13:2 @For which reason everyone who puts himself against the authority puts himself against the order of God: and those who are against it will get punishment for themselves.

bbe@Romans:13:4 @For he is the servant of God to you for good. But if you do evil, have fear; for the sword is not in his hand for nothing: he is God's servant, making God's punishment come on the evil-doer.

bbe@Romans:13:6 @For the same reason, make payment of taxes; because the authority is God's servant, to take care of such things at all times.

bbe@Romans:13:7 @Give to all what is their right: taxes to him whose they are, payment to him whose right it is, fear to whom fear, honour to whom honour is to be given.

bbe@Romans:13:11 @See then that the time has come for you to be awake from sleep: for now is your salvation nearer than when you first had faith.

bbe@Romans:14:5 @This man puts one day before another: to that man they are the same. Let every man be certain in his mind.

bbe@Romans:14:8 @As long as we have life we are living to the Lord; or if we give up our life it is to the Lord; so if we are living, or if our life comes to an end, we are the Lord's.

bbe@Romans:14:9 @And for this purpose Christ went into death and came back again, that he might be the Lord of the dead and of the living.

bbe@Romans:14:11 @For it is said in the holy Writings, By my life, says the Lord, to me every knee will be bent, and every tongue will give worship to God.

bbe@Romans:14:16 @Let it not be possible for men to say evil about your good:

bbe@Romans:14:18 @And he who in these things is Christ's servant, is pleasing to God and has the approval of men.

bbe@Romans:14:20 @Do not let the work of God come to nothing on account of food. All things are certainly clean; but it is evil for that man who by taking food makes it hard for another.

bbe@Romans:14:21 @It is better not to take meat or wine or to do anything which might be a cause of trouble to your brother.

bbe@Romans:15:3 @For Christ did not give pleasure to himself, but, as it is said, The bitter words of those who were angry with you came on me.

bbe@Romans:15:4 @Now those things which were put down in writing before our time were for our learning, so that through quiet waiting and through the comfort of the holy Writings we might have hope.

bbe@Romans:15:5 @Now may the God who gives comfort and strength in waiting make you of the same mind with one another in harmony with Christ Jesus:

bbe@Romans:15:9 @And so that the Gentiles might give glory to God for his mercy; as it is said, For this reason I will give praise to you among the Gentiles, and I will make a song to your name.

bbe@Romans:15:12 @And again Isaiah says, There will be the root of Jesse, and he who comes to be the ruler over the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles put their hope.

bbe@Romans:15:15 @But I have, in some measure, less fear in writing to you to put these things before you again, because of the grace which was given to me by God,

bbe@Romans:15:18 @And I will keep myself from talking of anything but those things which Christ has done by me to put the Gentiles under his rule in word and in act,

bbe@Romans:15:20 @Making it my purpose not to take the good news where Christ was named, so that my work might not be resting on that of others;

bbe@Romans:15:21 @But as it is said in the holy Writings, They will see, to whom the news of him had not been given, and those to whose ears it had not come will have knowledge.

bbe@Romans:15:23 @But now, having no longer any place in these parts and having had for a number of years a great desire to come to you,

bbe@Romans:15:24 @Whenever I go to Spain (for it is my hope to see you on my way, and to be sent on there by you, if first I may in some measure have been comforted by your company)--

bbe@Romans:15:27 @Yes, it has been their good pleasure; and they are in their debt. For if the Gentiles have had a part in the things of the Spirit which were theirs, it is right for them, in the same way, to give them help in the things of the flesh.

bbe@Romans:15:29 @And I am certain that when I come, I will be full of the blessing of Christ.

bbe@Romans:15:30 @Now I make request to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ, and by the love of the Spirit, that you will be working together with me in your prayers to God for me;

bbe@Romans:15:32 @So that I may come to you in joy by the good pleasure of God, and have rest with you.

bbe@Romans:16:3 @Give my love to Prisca and Aquila, workers with me in Christ Jesus,

bbe@Romans:16:7 @Give my love to Andronicus and Junia, my relations, who were in prison with me, who are noted among the Apostles, and who were in Christ before me.

bbe@Romans:16:8 @Give my love to Ampliatus, who is dear to me in the Lord,

bbe@Romans:16:14 @Give my love to Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermes, Patrobas, Hermas, and the brothers who are with them.

bbe@Romans:16:21 @Timothy, who is working with me, sends his love to you, so do Lucius and Jason and Sosipater, my relations

bbe@Romans:16:25 @Now to him who is able to make you strong in agreement with the good news which I gave you and the preaching of Jesus Christ, in the light of the revelation of that secret which has been kept through times eternal,

bbe@Romans:16:26 @But is now made clear; and by the writings of the prophets, by the order of the eternal God, the knowledge of it has been given to all the nations, so that they may come under the rule of the faith;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:2 @To the church of God which is in Corinth, to those who have been made holy in Christ Jesus, saints by the selection of God, with all those who in every place give honour to the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, their Lord and ours:

bbe@1Corinthians:1:4 @I give praise to my God for you at all times, because of the grace of God which has been given to you in Christ Jesus;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:10 @Now I make request to you, my brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you will all say the same thing, and that there may be no divisions among you, so that you may be in complete agreement, in the same mind and in the same opinion.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:11 @Because it has come to my knowledge, through those of the house of Chloe, that there are divisions among you, my brothers.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:12 @That is, that some of you say, I am of Paul; some say, I am of Apollos; some say, I am of Cephas; and some say, I am Christ's.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:13 @Is there a division in Christ? was Paul nailed to the cross for you? or were you given baptism in the name of Paul?

bbe@1Corinthians:1:14 @I give praise to God that not one of you had baptism from me, but Crispus and Gaius;

bbe@1Corinthians:1:15 @So that no one may be able to say that you had baptism in my name.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:16 @And I gave baptism to the house of Stephanas; but I am not certain that any others had baptism from me.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:17 @For Christ sent me, not to give baptism, but to be a preacher of the good news: not with wise words, for fear that the cross of Christ might be made of no value.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:25 @Because what seems foolish in God is wiser than men; and what seems feeble in God is stronger than men.

bbe@1Corinthians:1:27 @But God made selection of the foolish things of this world so that he might put the wise to shame; and the feeble things that he might put to shame the strong;

bbe@1Corinthians:2:1 @And when I came to you, my brothers, I did not come with wise words of knowledge, putting before you the secret of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:7 @But we give the news of the secret wisdom of God, which he had kept in store before the world came into existence, for our glory;

bbe@1Corinthians:2:9 @But as it says in the holy Writings, Things which the eye saw not, and which had not come to the ears or into the heart of man, such things as God has made ready for those who have love for him.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:11 @For who has knowledge of the things of a man but the spirit of the man which is in him? in the same way, no one has knowledge of the things of God but the Spirit of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:12 @But we have not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which comes from God, so that we may have knowledge of the things which are freely given to us by God.

bbe@1Corinthians:2:14 @For the natural man is not able to take in the things of the Spirit of God: for they seem foolish to him, and he is not able to have knowledge of them, because such knowledge comes only through the Spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:2 @I gave you milk and not meat, because you were, then, unable to take it, and even now you are not able;

bbe@1Corinthians:3:3 @Because you are still in the flesh: for when there is envy and division among you, are you not still walking after the way of the flesh, even as natural men?

bbe@1Corinthians:3:4 @For when one says, I am of Paul; and another says, I am of Apollos; are you not talking like natural men?

bbe@1Corinthians:3:8 @Now the planter and the waterer are working for the same end: but they will have their separate rewards in the measure of their work.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:10 @In the measure of the grace given to me, I, as a wise master-builder, have put the base in position, and another goes on building on it

bbe@1Corinthians:3:14 @If any man's work comes through the test, he will have a reward.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:18 @Let no man have a false idea. If any man seems to himself to be wise among you, let him become foolish, so that he may be wise.

bbe@1Corinthians:3:21 @So let no one take pride in men. For all things are yours;

bbe@1Corinthians:3:22 @Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are yours;

bbe@1Corinthians:4:3 @But it is a small thing to me that I am judged by you or by man's judging; I am not even a judge of myself.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:4 @For I am not conscious of any wrong in myself; but this does not make me clear, for it is the Lord who is my judge.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:5 @For this reason let there be no judging before the time, till the Lord comes, who will make clear the secret things of the dark, and the designs of the heart; and then will every man have his praise from God.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:9 @For it seems to me that God has put us the Apostles last of all, as men whose fate is death: for we are put on view to the world, and to angels, and to men.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:10 @We are made to seem foolish for Christ, but you are wise in Christ; we are feeble, but you are strong; you have glory, but we have shame

bbe@1Corinthians:4:12 @And with our hands we do the hardest work: when they give us curses we give blessings, when we undergo punishment we take it quietly;

bbe@1Corinthians:4:14 @I am not saying these things to put you to shame, but so that, as my dear children, you may see what is right.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:16 @So my desire is that you take me as your example.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:18 @Now some are full of pride, as if I was not coming to you.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:19 @But I will come to you in a short time, if it is pleasing to the Lord, and I will take note, not of the word of those who are full of pride, but of the power.

bbe@1Corinthians:4:21 @What is your desire? is my coming to be with punishment, or is it to be in love and a gentle spirit?

bbe@1Corinthians:5:3 @For I myself, being present in spirit though not in body, have come to a decision about him who has done this thing;

bbe@1Corinthians:5:4 @In the name of our Lord Jesus, when you have come together with my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus,

bbe@1Corinthians:5:11 @But the sense of my letter was that if a brother had the name of being one who went after the desires of the flesh, or had the desire for other people's property, or was in the way of using violent language, or being the worse for drink, or took by force what was not his, you might not keep company with such a one, or take food with him.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:5 @I say this to put you to shame. Is there not among you one wise man who may be able to give a decision between his brothers?

bbe@1Corinthians:6:9 @Have you not knowledge that evil-doers will have no part in the kingdom of God? Have no false ideas about this: no one who goes after the desires of the flesh, or gives worship to images, or is untrue when married, or is less than a man, or makes a wrong use of men,

bbe@1Corinthians:6:11 @And such were some of you; but you have been washed, you have been made holy, you have been given righteousness in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and in the Spirit of our God.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:12 @I am free to do all things; but not all things are wise. I am free to do all things; but I will not let myself come under the power of any.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:14 @And God who made the Lord Jesus come back from the dead will do the same for us by his power

bbe@1Corinthians:6:16 @Or do you not see that he who is joined to a loose woman is one body with her? for God has said, The two of them will become one flesh.

bbe@1Corinthians:6:20 @For a payment has been made for you: let God be honoured in your body.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:1 @Now, as to the things in your letter to me: It is good for a man to have nothing to do with a woman.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:3 @Let the husband give to the wife what is right; and let the wife do the same to the husband.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:4 @The wife has not power over her body, but the husband; and in the same way the husband has not power over his body, but the wife.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:5 @Do not keep back from one another what is right, but only for a short time, and by agreement, so that you may give yourselves to prayer, and come together again; so that Satan may not get the better of you through your loss of self-control.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:7 @It is my desire that all men might be even as I am. But every man has the power of his special way of life given him by God, one in this way and one in that.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:16 @For how may you be certain, O wife, that you will not be the cause of salvation to your husband? or you, O husband, that you may not do the same for your wife?

bbe@1Corinthians:7:21 @If you were a servant when you became a Christian, let it not be a grief to you; but if you have a chance to become free, make use of it.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:22 @For he who was a servant when he became a Christian is the Lord's free man; and he who was free when he became a Christian is the Lord's servant.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:23 @It is the Lord who has made payment for you: be not servants of men.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:25 @Now about virgins I have no orders from the Lord: but I give my opinion as one to whom the Lord has given mercy to be true to him.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:29 @But I say this, my brothers, the time is short; and from now it will be wise for those who have wives to be as if they had them not;

bbe@1Corinthians:7:31 @And for those who make use of the world, not to be using it fully; for this world's way of life will quickly come to an end.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:34 @And the wife is not the same as the virgin. The virgin gives her mind to the things of the Lord, so that she may be holy in body and in spirit: but the married woman takes thought for the things of the world, how she may give pleasure to her husband.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:37 @But the man who is strong in mind and purpose, who is not forced but has control over his desires, does well if he comes to the decision to keep her a virgin.

bbe@1Corinthians:7:40 @But it will be better for her to keep as she is, in my opinion: and it seems to me that I have the Spirit of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:5 @For though there are those who have the name of gods, in heaven or on earth, as there are a number of gods and a number of lords,

bbe@1Corinthians:8:7 @Still, all men have not that knowledge: but some, being used till now to the image, are conscious that they are taking food which has been offered to the image; and because they are not strong in the faith, their minds are troubled.

bbe@1Corinthians:8:13 @For this reason, if food is a cause of trouble to my brother, I will give up taking meat for ever, so that I may not be a cause of trouble to my brother.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:3 @My answer to those who are judging me is this.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:7 @Who ever goes to war without looking to someone to be responsible for his payment? who puts in vines and does not take the fruit of them? or who takes care of sheep without drinking of their milk?

bbe@1Corinthians:9:8 @Am I talking as a man? does not the law say the same?

bbe@1Corinthians:9:15 @But I have not made use of any of these things: and I am not writing this in the hope that it may be so for me: for it would be better for me to undergo death, than for any man to make this pride of mine of no effect.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:16 @For if I am a preacher of the good news, I have no cause for pride in this; because I am forced to do so, for a curse is on me if I do not.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:18 @What then is my reward? This, that when I am giving the good news, I may give it without payment, not making use of my rights as a preacher of the good news.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:19 @For though I was free from all men, I made myself a servant to all, so that more might have salvation.

bbe@1Corinthians:9:20 @And to the Jews I was as a Jew, so that I might give the good news to them; to those under the law I was the same, not as being myself under the law, but so that I might give the good news to those under the law

bbe@1Corinthians:9:22 @To the feeble, I was as one who is feeble, so that they might have salvation: I have been all things to all men, so that some at least might have salvation.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:3 @And they all took the same holy food;

bbe@1Corinthians:10:4 @And the same holy drink: for they all took of the water from the holy rock which came after them: and the rock was Christ.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:5 @But with most of them God was not pleased: for they came to their end in the waste land.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:7 @Then do not go after false gods, as some of them did; as it is said in the holy Writings, After resting and feasting, the people got up to take their pleasure.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:8 @Again, let us not give way to the desires of the flesh, as some of them did, of whom twenty-three thousand came to their end in one day.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:9 @And let us not put the Lord to the test, as some of them did, and came to their death by snakes

bbe@1Corinthians:10:10 @And do not say evil things against the Lord, as some of them did, and destruction overtook them.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:11 @Now these things were done as an example; and were put down in writing for our teaching, on whom the last days have come.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:13 @You have been put to no test but such as is common to man: and God is true, who will not let any test come on you which you are not able to undergo; but he will make with the test a way out of it, so that you may be able to go through it.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:15 @What I am saying is for wise men, do you be the judges of it.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:21 @It is not possible for you, at the same time, to take the cup of the Lord and the cup of evil spirits; you may not take part in the table of the Lord and the table of evil spirits.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:25 @Whatever meat may be had at the public market, take as food without question of right or wrong;

bbe@1Corinthians:10:30 @But if I give praise to God for the food which I take, let no man say evil of me for that reason.

bbe@1Corinthians:10:33 @Even as I give way to all men in all things, not looking for profit for myself, but for the good of others, that they may get salvation.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:1 @So take me for your example, even as I take Christ for mine.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:2 @Now I am pleased to see that you keep me in memory in all things, and that you give attention to the teaching which was handed down from me to you.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:4 @Every man who takes part in prayer, or gives teaching as a prophet, with his head covered, puts shame on his head.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:5 @But every woman who does so with her head unveiled, puts shame on her head: for it is the same as if her hair was cut off.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:6 @For if a woman is not veiled, let her hair be cut off; but if it is a shame to a woman to have her hair cut off, let her be veiled.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:8 @For the man did not come from the woman, but the woman from the man.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:14 @Does it not seem natural to you that if a man has long hair, it is a cause of shame to him?

bbe@1Corinthians:11:17 @But in giving you this order, there is one thing about which I am not pleased: it is that when you come together it is not for the better but for the worse.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:18 @For first of all, it has come to my ears that when you come together in the church, there are divisions among you, and I take the statement to be true in part.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:20 @But now, when you come together, it is not possible to take the holy meal of the Lord:

bbe@1Corinthians:11:21 @For when you take your food, everyone takes his meal before the other; and one has not enough food, and another is the worse for drink.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:22 @What? have you not houses to take your meals in? or have you no respect for the church of God, putting the poor to shame? What am I to say to you? am I to give you praise? certainly not.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:23 @For it was handed down to me from the Lord, as I gave it to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night when Judas was false to him, took bread,

bbe@1Corinthians:11:24 @And when it had been broken with an act of praise, he said, This is my body which is for you: do this in memory of me.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:25 @In the same way, with the cup, after the meal, he said, This cup is the new testament in my blood: do this, whenever you take it, in memory of me.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:26 @For whenever you take the bread and the cup you give witness to the Lord's death till he comes.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:29 @For a man puts himself in danger, if he takes part in the holy meal without being conscious that it is the Lord's body.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:31 @But if we were true judges of ourselves, punishment would not come on us.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:32 @But if punishment does come, it is sent by the Lord, so that we may be safe when the world is judged.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:33 @So then, my brothers, when you come together to the holy meal of the Lord, let there be waiting for one another.

bbe@1Corinthians:11:34 @If any man is in need of food, let him take his meal in his house; so that you may not come together to your damage. And the rest I will put in order when I come.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:4 @Now there are different qualities given to men, but the same Spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:5 @And there are different sorts of servants, but the same Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:6 @And there are different operations, but the same God, who is working all things in all.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:7 @But to every man some form of the Spirit's working is given for the common good.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:8 @For to one are given words of wisdom through the Spirit; and to another words of knowledge through the same Spirit:

bbe@1Corinthians:12:9 @To another faith in the same Spirit; and to another the power of taking away disease, by the one Spirit;

bbe@1Corinthians:12:11 @But all these are the operations of the one and the same Spirit, giving to every man separately as his pleasure is.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:13 @For through the baptism of the one Spirit we were all formed into one body, Jews or Greeks, servants or free men, and were all made full of the same Spirit

bbe@1Corinthians:12:16 @And if the ear says, Because I am not the eye, I am not a part of the body; it is a part of the body all the same.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:17 @If all the body was an eye, where would be the hearing? if all was hearing, where would be the smelling?

bbe@1Corinthians:12:23 @And to those parts of the body which seem to have less honour we give all the more honour; and to those parts of the body which are a cause of shame to us we give the greater respect;

bbe@1Corinthians:12:25 @So that there might be no division in the body; but all the parts might have the same care for one another.

bbe@1Corinthians:12:28 @And God has put some in the church, first, Apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then those with wonder-working powers, then those with the power of taking away disease, helpers, wise guides, users of strange tongues.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:1 @If I make use of the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am like sounding brass, or a loud-tongued bell.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:3 @And if I give all my goods to the poor, and if I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it is of no profit to me.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:8 @Though the prophet's word may come to an end, tongues come to nothing, and knowledge have no more value, love has no end.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:10 @But when that which is complete is come, then that which is in part will be no longer necessary.

bbe@1Corinthians:13:12 @For now we see things in a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now my knowledge is in part; then it will be complete, even as God's knowledge of me.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:2 @For he who makes use of tongues is not talking to men but to God; because no one has the sense of what he is saying; but in the Spirit he is talking of secret things.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:3 @But the word of the prophet gives men knowledge and comfort and strength.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:5 @Now though it is my desire for you all to have the power of tongues, it would give me more pleasure to be hearing the prophet's word from you; for this is a greater thing than using tongues, if the sense is not given at the same time, for the good of the church.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:6 @But, now, my brothers, if I come to you using tongues, what profit will it be to you, if I do not give you a revelation, or knowledge, or the word of the prophet, or teaching?

bbe@1Corinthians:14:7 @Even things without life, having a voice, such as a music-pipe or other instrument, if they do not give out different sounds, who may be certain what is being played?

bbe@1Corinthians:14:11 @But if the sense of the voice is not clear to me, I am like a man from a strange country to him who is talking, and he will be the same to me.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:13 @For this reason, let the man who has the power of using tongues make request that he may, at the same time, be able to give the sense.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:19 @But in the church it would be better for me to make use of five words of which the sense was clear, so that others might have profit, than ten thousand words in a strange tongue.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:21 @In the law it is said, By men of other tongues and by strange lips will my words come to this people; and not even so will they give ear to me, says the Lord.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:23 @If, then, the church has come together, and all are using tongues, and there come in men without knowledge or faith, will they not say that you are unbalanced?

bbe@1Corinthians:14:24 @But if all are teaching as prophets, and a man without faith or knowledge comes in, he is tested by all, he is judged by all;

bbe@1Corinthians:14:26 @What is it then, my brothers? when you come together everyone has a holy song, or a revelation, or a tongue, or is giving the sense of it. Let everything be done for the common good.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:27 @If any man makes use of a tongue, let it not be more than two, or at the most three, and in turn; and let someone give the sense:

bbe@1Corinthians:14:34 @Let women keep quiet in the churches: for it is not right for them to be talking; but let them be under control, as it says in the law.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:35 @And if they have a desire for knowledge about anything, let them put questions to their husbands privately: for talking in the church puts shame on a woman.

bbe@1Corinthians:14:36 @What? was it from you that the word of God went out? or did it only come in to you?

bbe@1Corinthians:15:3 @For I gave to you first of all what was handed down to me, how Christ underwent death for our sins, as it says in the Writings;

bbe@1Corinthians:15:4 @And he was put in the place of the dead; and on the third day he came back from the dead, as it says in the Writings;

bbe@1Corinthians:15:6 @Then by more than five hundred brothers at the same time, most of whom are still living, but some are sleeping;

bbe@1Corinthians:15:7 @Then he was seen by James; then by all the Apostles.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:8 @And last of all, as by one whose birth was out of the right time, he was seen by me.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:9 @For I am the least of the Apostles, having no right to be named an Apostle, because of my cruel attacks on the church of God.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:10 @But by the grace of God, I am what I am: and his grace which was given to me has not been for nothing; for I did more work than all of them; though not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:12 @Now if the good news says that Christ came back from the dead, how do some of you say that there is no coming back from the dead?

bbe@1Corinthians:15:13 @But if there is no coming back from the dead, then Christ has not come back from the dead:

bbe@1Corinthians:15:14 @And if Christ did not come again from the dead, then our good news and your faith in it are of no effect.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:15 @Yes, and we are seen to be false witnesses of God; because we gave witness of God that by his power Christ came again from the dead: which is not true if there is no coming back from the dead.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:16 @For if it is not possible for the dead to come to life again, then Christ has not come to life again:

bbe@1Corinthians:15:19 @If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most unhappy

bbe@1Corinthians:15:20 @But now Christ has truly come back from the dead, the first-fruits of those who are sleeping.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:21 @For as by man came death, so by man there is a coming back from the dead.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:22 @For as in Adam death comes to all, so in Christ will all come back to life.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:24 @Then comes the end, when he will give up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he will have put an end to all rule and to all authority and power.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:26 @The last power to come to an end is death.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:29 @Again, what will they do who are given baptism for the dead? if the dead do not come back at all, why are people given baptism for them?

bbe@1Corinthians:15:31 @Yes, truly, by your pride in me, my brothers in Christ Jesus our Lord, my life is one long death.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:32 @If, after the way of men, I was fighting with beasts at Ephesus, what profit is it to me? If the dead do not come to life again, let us take our pleasure in feasting, for tomorrow we come to an end.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:34 @Be awake to righteousness and keep yourselves from sin; for some have no knowledge of God: I say this to put you to shame.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:35 @But someone will say, How do the dead come back? and with what sort of body do they come?

bbe@1Corinthians:15:36 @Foolish man, it is necessary for the seed which you put into the earth to undergo death in order that it may come to life again:

bbe@1Corinthians:15:37 @And when you put it into the earth, you do not put in the body which it will be, but only the seed, of grain or some other sort of plant;

bbe@1Corinthians:15:39 @All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one flesh of men, another of beasts, another of birds, and another of fishes.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:42 @So is it with the coming back from the dead. It is planted in death; it comes again in life:

bbe@1Corinthians:15:43 @It is planted in shame; it comes again in glory: feeble when it is planted, it comes again in power:

bbe@1Corinthians:15:44 @It is planted a natural body; it comes again as a body of the spirit. If there is a natural body, there is equally a body of the spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:46 @But that which is natural comes before that which is of the spirit.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:49 @And in the same way as we have taken on us the image of the man from the earth, so we will take on us the image of the one from heaven.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:51 @See, I am giving you the revelation of a secret: we will not all come to the sleep of death, but we will all be changed.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:52 @In a second, in the shutting of an eye, at the sound of the last horn: for at that sound the dead will come again, free for ever from the power of death, and we will be changed.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:53 @For this body which comes to destruction will be made free from the power of death, and the man who is under the power of death will put on eternal life.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:54 @But when this has taken place, then that which was said in the Writings will come true, Death is overcome by life.

bbe@1Corinthians:15:57 @But praise be to God who gives us strength to overcome through our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:2 @On the first day of the week, let every one of you put by him in store, in measure as he has done well in business, so that it may not be necessary to get money together when I come.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:3 @And when I come, I will send the men of your selection with letters to take the money you have got together to Jerusalem.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:4 @And if it is possible for me to go there, they will go with me.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:5 @But I will come to you after I have gone through Macedonia, for that is my purpose;

bbe@1Corinthians:16:6 @But I may be with you for a time, or even for the winter, so that you may see me on my way, wherever I go.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:7 @For it is not my desire to see you now, on my way; because it is my hope to be with you for some time, if that is the Lord's pleasure.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:9 @For a great and important door there is open to me, and there are a number of people against me.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:10 @Now if Timothy comes, see that he is with you without fear; because he is doing the Lord's work, even as I am:

bbe@1Corinthians:16:11 @See then that he has the honour which is right. But send him on his way in peace, so that he may come to me: for I am looking for him with the brothers.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:12 @But as for Apollos, the brother, I had a great desire for him to come to you with the brothers, but it was not his pleasure to come now; but he will come when he has a chance.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:13 @Be on the watch, unmoved in the faith, and be strong like men.

bbe@1Corinthians:16:22 @If any man has not love for the Lord, let him be cursed. Maran atha (our Lord comes).

bbe@2Corinthians:1:3 @Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort;

bbe@2Corinthians:1:5 @For as we undergo more of the pain which Christ underwent, so through Christ does our comfort become greater.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:6 @But if we are troubled, it is for your comfort and salvation; or if we are comforted, it is for your comfort, which takes effect through your quiet undergoing of the same troubles which we undergo:

bbe@2Corinthians:1:8 @For it is our desire that you may not be without knowledge of our trouble which came on us in Asia, that the weight of it was very great, more than our power, so that it seemed that we had no hope even of life:

bbe@2Corinthians:1:11 @You at the same time helping together by your prayer for us; so that for what has been given to us through a number of persons, praise may go up to God for us from all of them.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:13 @For in our letters we say no other things to you, but those which you are reading, and to which you give agreement, and, it is my hope, will go on doing so to the end:

bbe@2Corinthians:1:14 @Even as you have been ready, in part, to say that we are your glory, in the same way that you are ours, in the day of the Lord Jesus.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:15 @And being certain of this, it was my purpose to come to you before, so that you might have a second grace;

bbe@2Corinthians:1:16 @And by way of Corinth to go into Macedonia, and from there to come back again to you, so that you might send me on my way to Judaea.

bbe@2Corinthians:1:23 @But God is my witness that it was in pity for you that I did not come to Corinth at that time.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:1 @But it was my decision for myself, not to come again to you with sorrow.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:2 @For if I give you sorrow, who then will make me glad, but he who is made sad by me?

bbe@2Corinthians:2:3 @And I said this very thing in my letter, for fear that when I came I might have sorrow from those from whom it was right for me to have joy; being certain of this, that my joy is the joy of you all.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:5 @But if anyone has been a cause of sorrow, he has been so, not to me only, but in some measure to all of you (I say this that I may not be over-hard on you).

bbe@2Corinthians:2:6 @Let it be enough for such a man to have undergone the punishment which the church put on him;

bbe@2Corinthians:2:9 @And for the same reason I sent you a letter so that I might be certain of your desire to do my orders in all things.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:10 @But if you give forgiveness to anyone, I do the same: for if I have given forgiveness for anything, I have done it because of you, in the person of Christ;

bbe@2Corinthians:2:12 @Now when I came to Troas for the good news of Christ, and there was an open door for me in the Lord,

bbe@2Corinthians:2:13 @I had no rest in my spirit because Titus my brother was not there: so I went away from them, and came into Macedonia.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:14 @But praise be to God who makes us strong to overcome in Christ, and makes clear through us in every place the value of the knowledge of him.

bbe@2Corinthians:2:15 @For we are a sweet perfume of Christ to God in those who are getting salvation and in those who are going to destruction;

bbe@2Corinthians:2:16 @To the one it is a perfume of death to death; to the other a perfume of life to life. And who is enough for such things?

bbe@2Corinthians:3:1 @Do we seem to be again attempting to put ourselves in the right? or have we need, as some have, of letters of approval to you or from you?

bbe@2Corinthians:3:5 @Not as if we were able by ourselves to do anything for which we might take the credit; but our power comes from God;

bbe@2Corinthians:3:6 @Who has made us able to be servants of a new agreement; not of the letter, but of the Spirit: for the letter gives death, but the Spirit gives life.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:7 @For if the operation of the law, giving death, recorded in letters on stone, came with glory, so that the eyes of the children of Israel had to be turned away from the face of Moses because of its glory, a glory which was only for a time:

bbe@2Corinthians:3:9 @For if the operation of the law, producing punishment, had its glory, how much greater will be the operation of the Spirit causing righteousness?

bbe@2Corinthians:3:10 @For the glory of the first no longer seems to be glory, because of the greater glory of that which comes after

bbe@2Corinthians:3:11 @For if the order which was for a time had its glory, much more will the eternal order have its glory.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:14 @But their minds were made hard: for to this very day at the reading of the old agreement the same veil is still unlifted; though it is taken away in Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:3:18 @But we all, with unveiled face giving back as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as from the Lord who is the Spirit.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:1 @For this reason, because we have been made servants of this new order, through the mercy given to us, we are strong:

bbe@2Corinthians:4:2 @And we have given up the secret things of shame, not walking in false ways, and not making use of the word of God with deceit; but by the revelation of what is true, as before God, we have the approval of every man's sense of right and wrong.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:7 @But we have this wealth in vessels of earth, so that it may be seen that the power comes not from us but from God;

bbe@2Corinthians:4:13 @But having the same spirit of faith, as it is said in the Writings, The words of my mouth came from the faith in my heart; in the same way, our words are the outcome of our faith;

bbe@2Corinthians:4:14 @Because we are certain that he who made the Lord Jesus come back from the dead, will do the same for us, and will give us a place in his glory with you.

bbe@2Corinthians:4:17 @For our present trouble, which is only for a short time, is working out for us a much greater weight of glory;

bbe@2Corinthians:4:18 @While our minds are not on the things which are seen, but on the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are for a time; but the things which are not seen are eternal.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:4 @For truly, we who are in this tent do give out cries of weariness, for the weight of care which is on us; not because we are desiring to be free from the body, but so that we may have our new body, and death may be overcome by life.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:5 @Now he who has made us for this very thing is God, who has given us the Spirit as a witness of what is to come.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:10 @For we all have to come before Christ to be judged; so that every one of us may get his reward for the things done in the body, good or bad.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:11 @Having in mind, then, the fear of the Lord, we put these things before men, but God sees our hearts; and it is my hope that we may seem right in your eyes.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:15 @And that he underwent death for all, so that the living might no longer be living to themselves, but to him who underwent death for them and came back from the dead.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:16 @For this reason, from this time forward we have knowledge of no man after the flesh: even if we have had knowledge of Christ after the flesh, we have no longer any such knowledge.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:17 @So if any man is in Christ, he is in a new world: the old things have come to an end; they have truly become new.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:20 @So we are the representatives of Christ, as if God was making a request to you through us: we make our request to you, in the name of Christ, be at peace with God.

bbe@2Corinthians:5:21 @For him who had no knowledge of sin God made to be sin for us; so that we might become the righteousness of God in him.

bbe@2Corinthians:6:2 @(For he says, I have given ear to you at a good time, and I have been your helper in a day of salvation: see, now is the good time; now is the day of salvation):

bbe@2Corinthians:6:8 @By glory and by shame, by an evil name and a good name; as untrue, and still true;

bbe@2Corinthians:6:9 @Unnoted, but still kept fully in mind; as near to death, but still living; as undergoing punishment, but not put to death;

bbe@2Corinthians:6:13 @Now to give me back payment of the same sort (I am talking as to my children), let your hearts be wide open to me.

bbe@2Corinthians:6:15 @And what agreement is there between Christ and the Evil One? or what part has one who has faith with one who has not?

bbe@2Corinthians:6:16 @And what agreement has the house of God with images? for we are a house of the living God; even as God has said, I will be living among them, and walking with them; and I will be their God, and they will be my people.

bbe@2Corinthians:6:17 @For which cause, Come out from among them, and be separate, says the Lord, and let no unclean thing come near you; and I will take you for myself,

bbe@2Corinthians:7:1 @Because God, then, will give us such rewards, dear brothers, let us make ourselves clean from all evil of flesh and spirit, and become completely holy in the fear of God.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:5 @For even when we had come into Macedonia our flesh had no rest, but we were troubled on every side; there were fightings outside and fears inside.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:7 @And not by his coming only, but by the comfort which he had in you, while he gave us word of your desire, your sorrow, your care for me; so that I was still more glad.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:8 @For though my letter gave you pain, I have no regret for it now, though I had before; for I see that the letter gave you pain, but only for a time.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:11 @For you see what care was produced in you by this very sorrow of yours before God, what clearing of yourselves, what wrath against sin, what fear, what desire, what serious purpose, what punishment. In everything you have made it clear that you are free from sin in this business.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:14 @For I was not put to shame in anything in which I may have made clear to him my pride in you; but as we said nothing to you but what was true, so the good things which I said to Titus about you were seen by him to be true.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:15 @And his love to you is the more increased by his memory of you all, how you gave way to his authority, and how you took him to your hearts with fear and honour.

bbe@2Corinthians:7:16 @It gives me great joy to see you answering to my good opinion of you in every way

bbe@2Corinthians:8:7 @And that as you are full of every good thing, of faith, of the word, of knowledge, of a ready mind, and of love to us, so you may be full of this grace in the same way.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:9 @For you see the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, how though he had wealth, he became poor on your account, so that through his need you might have wealth.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:12 @For if there is a ready mind, a man will have God's approval in the measure of what he has, and not of what he has not.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:13 @And I am not saying this so that others may get off free, while the weight comes on you:

bbe@2Corinthians:8:14 @But so that things may be equal; that from those things of which you have more than enough at the present time their need may be helped, and that if you are in any need they may be a help to you in the same way, making things equal.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:16 @But praise be to God, who puts the same care for you into the heart of Titus.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:21 @For the business has been so ordered by us as to have the approval, not only of the Lord, but of men.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:22 @And we have sent with them our brother, whose ready spirit has been made clear to us at times and in ways without number, but it is now all the more so because of the certain faith which he has in you.

bbe@2Corinthians:8:23 @If any question comes up about Titus, he is my brother-worker, working with me for you; or about the others, they are the representatives of the churches to the glory of Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:1 @But there is no need for me to say anything in my letter about the giving to the saints:

bbe@2Corinthians:9:2 @For I have before made clear to those of Macedonia my pride in your ready mind, saying to them that Achaia has been ready for a year back; and a great number have been moved to do the same by your example.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:4 @For fear that, if any from Macedonia come with me, and you are not ready, we (not to say, you) might be put to shame in this thing.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:5 @So it seemed to me wise for the brothers to go before, and see that the amount which you had undertaken to give was ready, so that it might be a cause for praise, and not as if we were making profit out of you.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:6 @But in the Writings it says, He who puts in only a small number of seeds, will get in the same; and he who puts them in from a full hand, will have produce in full measure from them.

bbe@2Corinthians:9:8 @And God is able to give you all grace in full measure; so that ever having enough of all things, you may be full of every good work:

bbe@2Corinthians:9:10 @And he who gives seed for putting into the field and bread for food, will take care of the growth of your seed, at the same time increasing the fruits of your righteousness;

bbe@2Corinthians:10:2 @Yes, I make my request to you, so that when I am with you I may not have to make use of the authority which may be needed against some to whom we seem to be walking after the flesh.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:5 @Putting an end to reasonings, and every high thing which is lifted up against the knowledge of God, and causing every thought to come under the authority of Christ;

bbe@2Corinthians:10:6 @Being ready to give punishment to whatever is against his authority, after you have made it clear that you are completely under his control.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:8 @For though I might take pride in our authority (which the Lord gave for building you up, and not for your destruction), it will not be a cause of shame to me:

bbe@2Corinthians:10:12 @For we will not make comparison of ourselves with some of those who say good things about themselves: but these, measuring themselves by themselves, and making comparison of themselves with themselves, are not wise.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:13 @We will not give glory to ourselves in over-great measure, but after the measure of the rule which God has given us, a measure which comes even to you.

bbe@2Corinthians:10:14 @For we have no need to make ourselves seem more than we are, as if our authority did not come as far as to you: for we came even as far as you with the good news of Christ:

bbe@2Corinthians:11:1 @Put up with me if I am a little foolish: but, truly, you do put up with me.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:2 @For I have a very great care for you: because you have been married by me to one husband, and it is my desire to give you completely holy to Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:3 @But I have a fear, that in some way, as Eve was tricked by the deceit of the snake, your minds may be turned away from their simple and holy love for Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:4 @For if anyone comes preaching another Jesus from the one whose preachers we are, or if you have got a different spirit, or a different sort of good news from those which came to you, how well you put up with these things.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:8 @I took money from other churches as payment for my work, so that I might be your servant;

bbe@2Corinthians:11:9 @And when I was present with you, and was in need, I let no man be responsible for me; for the brothers, when they came from Macedonia, gave me whatever was needed; and in everything I kept myself from being a trouble to you, and I will go on doing so.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:10 @As the true word of Christ is in me, I will let no man take from me this my cause of pride in the country of Achaia.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:12 @But what I do, that I will go on doing, so that I may give no chance to those who are looking for one; so that, in the cause of their pride, they may be seen to be the same as we are.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:13 @For such men are false Apostles, workers of deceit, making themselves seem like Apostles of Christ.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:16 @I say again, Let me not seem foolish to anyone; but if I do, put up with me as such, so that I may take a little glory to myself.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:18 @Seeing that there are those who take credit to themselves after the flesh, I will do the same.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:21 @I say this by way of shaming ourselves, as if we had been feeble. But if anyone puts himself forward (I am talking like a foolish person), I will do the same.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:23 @Are they servants of Christ? (I am talking foolishly) I am more so; I have had more experience of hard work, of prisons, of blows more than measure, of death.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:24 @Five times the Jews gave me forty blows but one.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:25 @Three times I was whipped with rods, once I was stoned, three times the ship I was in came to destruction at sea, a night and a day I have been in the water;

bbe@2Corinthians:11:26 @In frequent travels, in dangers on rivers, in dangers from outlaws, in dangers from my countrymen, in dangers from the Gentiles, in dangers in the town, in dangers in the waste land, in dangers at sea, in dangers among false brothers;

bbe@2Corinthians:11:28 @In addition to all the other things, there is that which comes on me every day, the care of all the churches.

bbe@2Corinthians:11:32 @In Damascus, the ruler under Aretas the king kept watch over the town of the people of Damascus, in order to take me:

bbe@2Corinthians:12:1 @As it is necessary for me to take glory to myself, though it is not a good thing, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:4 @How he was taken up into Paradise, and words came to his ears which may not be said, and which man is not able to say.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:6 @For if I had a desire to take credit to myself, it would not be foolish, for I would be saying what is true: but I will not, for fear that I might seem to any man more than he sees me to be, or has word from me that I am.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:7 @And because the revelations were so very great, in order that I might not be overmuch lifted up, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, one sent from Satan to give me pain.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:8 @And about this thing I made request to the Lord three times that it might be taken away from me.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:9 @And he said to me, My grace is enough for you, for my power is made complete in what is feeble. Most gladly, then, will I take pride in my feeble body, so that the power of Christ may be on me.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:11 @I have been forced by you to become foolish, though it was right for my praise to have come from you: for in no way was I less than the chief of the Apostles, though I am nothing.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:13 @For what is there in which you were made less than the other churches, but in the one thing that I was not a trouble to you? Let me have forgiveness for this wrong

bbe@2Corinthians:12:14 @This is now the third time that I am ready to come to you; and I will not be a trouble to you: my desire is for you, not for your property: for it is not the children's business to make store for their fathers, but the fathers for the children.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:16 @But let it be so, that I was not a trouble to you myself; but (someone may say) being false, I took you with deceit.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:18 @I gave orders to Titus, and I sent the brother with him. Did Titus make any profit out of you? were we not guided by the same Spirit, in the same ways?

bbe@2Corinthians:12:19 @It may seem to you that all this time we have been attempting to put ourselves in the right; but we are saying these things before God in Christ. For all things, dear brothers, are for your profit.

bbe@2Corinthians:12:20 @For I have a fear that, when I come, you may not be answering to my desire, and that I may not be answering to yours; that there may be fighting, hate, angry feeling, divisions, evil talk about others, secrets, thoughts of pride, outbursts against authority;

bbe@2Corinthians:12:21 @And that when I come again, my God may put me to shame among you, and I may have grief for those who have done wrong before and have had no regret for their unclean ways, and for the evil desires of the flesh to which they have given way.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:1 @This is the third time that I am coming to you. From the mouth of two or three witnesses will every word be made certain.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:2 @I said before, and still say it before I come, as being present for the second time, though I am still away from you, to those who have done wrong before, and to all the others, that if I come again I will not have pity;

bbe@2Corinthians:13:3 @Seeing that you are looking for a sign of Christ giving out his word in me; who is not feeble in relation to you, but is strong in you:

bbe@2Corinthians:13:10 @For this cause I am writing these things while I am away, so that there may be need for me, when I am present, to make use of sharp measures, by the authority which the Lord has given me for building up and not for destruction.

bbe@2Corinthians:13:11 @Let this be my last word, brothers; be glad; be complete; be comforted; be of the same mind; be at peace with one another: and the God of love and peace will be with you.

bbe@Galatians:1:1 @Paul, an Apostle (not from men, and not through man, but through Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who made him come back from the dead),

bbe@Galatians:1:2 @And all the brothers who are with me, to the churches of Galatia:

bbe@Galatians:1:6 @I am surprised that you are being so quickly turned away from him whose word came to you in the grace of Christ, to good news of a different sort;

bbe@Galatians:1:7 @Which is not another sort: only there are some who give you trouble, desiring to make changes in the good news of Christ.

bbe@Galatians:1:10 @Am I now using arguments to men, or God? or is it my desire to give men pleasure? if I was still pleasing men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

bbe@Galatians:1:12 @For I did not get it from man, and I was not given teaching in it, but it came to me through revelation of Jesus Christ.

bbe@Galatians:1:13 @For news has come to you of my way of life in the past in the Jews' religion, how I was cruel without measure to the church of God, and did great damage to it:

bbe@Galatians:1:14 @And I went farther in the Jews' religion than a number of my generation among my countrymen, having a more burning interest in the beliefs handed down from my fathers.

bbe@Galatians:1:16 @To give the revelation of his Son in me, so that I might give the news of him to the Gentiles; then I did not take the opinion of flesh and blood,

bbe@Galatians:1:17 @And I went not up to Jerusalem to those who were Apostles before me; but I went away into Arabia, and again I came back to Damascus.

bbe@Galatians:1:19 @But of the other Apostles I saw only James, the Lord's brother.

bbe@Galatians:1:21 @Then I came to the parts of Syria and Cilicia.

bbe@Galatians:1:23 @Only it came to their ears that he who at one time was cruel to us is now preaching the faith which before had been attacked by him;

bbe@Galatians:1:24 @And they gave glory to God in me.

bbe@Galatians:2:1 @Then after the space of fourteen years I went up again to Jerusalem with Barnabas, taking Titus with me.

bbe@Galatians:2:2 @And I went up by revelation; and I put before them the good news which I was preaching among the Gentiles, but privately before those who were of good name, so that the work which I was or had been doing might not be without effect.

bbe@Galatians:2:3 @But not even Titus who was with me, being a Greek, was made to undergo circumcision:

bbe@Galatians:2:4 @And that because of the false brothers let in secretly, who came searching out our free condition which we have in Christ Jesus, so that they might make servants of us;

bbe@Galatians:2:6 @But from those who seemed to be important (whatever they were has no weight with me: God does not take man's person into account): those who seemed to be important gave nothing new to me;

bbe@Galatians:2:8 @(Because he who was working in Peter as the Apostle of the circumcision was working no less in me among the Gentiles);

bbe@Galatians:2:9 @When they saw the grace which was given to me, James and Cephas and John, who had the name of being pillars, gave to me and Barnabas their right hands as friends so that we might go to the Gentiles, and they to the circumcision;

bbe@Galatians:2:11 @But when Cephas came to Antioch, I made a protest against him to his face, because he was clearly in the wrong.

bbe@Galatians:2:12 @For before certain men came from James, he did take food with the Gentiles: but when they came, he went back and made himself separate, fearing those who were of the circumcision.

bbe@Galatians:2:13 @And the rest of the Jews went after him, so that even Barnabas was overcome by their false ways.

bbe@Galatians:2:14 @But when I saw that they were not living uprightly in agreement with the true words of the good news, I said to Cephas before them all, If you, being a Jew, are living like the Gentiles, and not like the Jews, how will you make the Gentiles do the same as the Jews?

bbe@Galatians:2:19 @For I, through the law, have become dead to the law, so that I might be living to God.

bbe@Galatians:2:20 @I have been put to death on the cross with Christ; still I am living; no longer I, but Christ is living in me; and that life which I now am living in the flesh I am living by faith, the faith of the Son of God, who in love for me, gave himself up for me.

bbe@Galatians:3:2 @Give me an answer to this one question, Did the Spirit come to you through the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?

bbe@Galatians:3:7 @Be certain, then, that those who are of faith, the same are sons of Abraham.

bbe@Galatians:3:13 @Christ has made us free from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us: because it is said in the Writings, A curse on everyone who is put to death by hanging on a tree:

bbe@Galatians:3:14 @So that on the Gentiles might come the blessing of Abraham in Christ Jesus; in order that we through faith might have the Spirit which God had undertaken to give.

bbe@Galatians:3:15 @Brothers, as men would say, even a man's agreement, when it has been made certain, may not be put on one side, or have additions made to it.

bbe@Galatians:3:17 @Now this I say: The law, which came four hundred and thirty years after, does not put an end to the agreement made before by God, so as to make the undertaking without effect.

bbe@Galatians:3:23 @But before faith came, we were kept in prison under the law, waiting for the revelation of the faith which was to come.

bbe@Galatians:3:25 @But now that faith is come, we are no longer under a servant.

bbe@Galatians:4:2 @But is under keepers and managers till the time fixed by the father.

bbe@Galatians:4:4 @But when the time had come, God sent out his Son, made of a woman, made under the law,

bbe@Galatians:4:8 @But at that time, having no knowledge of God, you were servants to those who by right are no gods:

bbe@Galatians:4:9 @But now that you have come to have knowledge of God, or more truly, God has knowledge of you, how is it that you go back again to the poor and feeble first things, desiring to be servants to them again?

bbe@Galatians:4:10 @You keep days, and months, and fixed times, and years

bbe@Galatians:4:12 @My desire for you, brothers, is that you may be as I am, because I am as you are. You have done me no wrong;

bbe@Galatians:4:13 @But you have knowledge that with a feeble body I was preaching the good news to you the first time;

bbe@Galatians:4:14 @And you did not have a poor opinion of me because of the trouble in my flesh, or put shame on it; but you took me to your hearts as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

bbe@Galatians:4:15 @Where then is that happy condition of yours? because I give you witness, that, if possible, you would have taken out your eyes and given them to me.

bbe@Galatians:4:18 @But it is good to have an interest in a good cause at all times, and not only when I am present with you.

bbe@Galatians:4:19 @My children, of whom I am again in birth-pains till Christ is formed in you,

bbe@Galatians:4:24 @Which things have a secret sense; because these women are the two agreements; one from the mountain of Sinai, giving birth to servants, which is Hagar.

bbe@Galatians:5:8 @This ready belief did not come from him who had made you his.

bbe@Galatians:5:10 @I am certain about you in the Lord, that you will be of no other mind; but he who is troubling you will have his punishment, whoever he is.

bbe@Galatians:5:11 @But I, brothers, if I am still preaching circumcision, why am I still attacked? then has the shame of the cross been taken away.

bbe@Galatians:5:16 @But I say, Go on in the Spirit, and you will not come under the rule of the evil desires of the flesh.

bbe@Galatians:6:3 @For if a man has an idea that he is something when he is nothing, he is tricked by himself.

bbe@Galatians:6:9 @And let us not get tired of well-doing; for at the right time we will get in the grain, if we do not give way to weariness.

bbe@Galatians:6:10 @So then, as we have the chance, let us do good to all men, and specially to those who are of the family of the faith.

bbe@Galatians:6:14 @But far be it from me to have glory in anything, but only in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which this world has come to an end on the cross for me, and I for it

bbe@Galatians:6:16 @And on all who are guided by this rule be peace and mercy, and on the Israel of God.

bbe@Galatians:6:17 @From this time on let no man be a trouble to me; because my body is marked with the marks of Jesus.

bbe@Ephesians:1:8 @Which he gave us in full measure in all wisdom and care;

bbe@Ephesians:1:9 @Having made clear to us the secret of his purpose, in agreement with the design which he had in mind, to put into his hands

bbe@Ephesians:1:10 @The ordering of the times when they are complete, so that all things might come to a head in Christ, the things in heaven and the things on the earth; in him, I say,

bbe@Ephesians:1:11 @In whom we have a heritage, being marked out from the first in his purpose who does all things in agreement with his designs;

bbe@Ephesians:1:20 @By which he made Christ come back from the dead, and gave him a place at his right hand in heaven,

bbe@Ephesians:1:21 @Far over all rule and authority and power and every name which is named, not only in the present order, but in that which is to come:

bbe@Ephesians:1:23 @Which is his body, the full measure of him in whom all things are made complete.

bbe@Ephesians:2:3 @Among whom we all at one time were living in the pleasures of our flesh, giving way to the desires of the flesh and of the mind, and the punishment of God was waiting for us even as for the rest.

bbe@Ephesians:2:4 @But God, being full of mercy, through the great love which he had for us,

bbe@Ephesians:2:6 @So that we came back from death with him, and are seated with him in the heavens, in Christ Jesus;

bbe@Ephesians:2:7 @That in the time to come he might make clear the full wealth of his grace in his mercy to us in Christ Jesus:

bbe@Ephesians:2:12 @That you were at that time without Christ, being cut off from any part in Israel's rights as a nation, having no part in God's agreement, having no hope, and without God in the world.

bbe@Ephesians:2:13 @But now in Christ Jesus you who at one time were far off are made near in the blood of Christ.

bbe@Ephesians:2:16 @And that the two might come into agreement with God in one body through the cross, so putting an end to that division.

bbe@Ephesians:2:17 @And he came preaching peace to you who were far off, and to those who were near;

bbe@Ephesians:2:18 @Because through him the two of us are able to come near in one Spirit to the Father.

bbe@Ephesians:2:21 @In whom all the building, rightly joined together, comes to be a holy house of God in the Lord;

bbe@Ephesians:3:2 @If that ordering of the grace of God has come to your knowledge, which was given to me for you,

bbe@Ephesians:3:3 @How by revelation the secret was made clear to me, as I said before in a short letter,

bbe@Ephesians:3:5 @Which in other generations was not given to the sons of men, but the revelation of it has now been made to his holy Apostles and prophets in the Spirit;

bbe@Ephesians:3:6 @Which is that the Gentiles have a part in the heritage, and in the same body, and in the same hope in Christ through the good news,

bbe@Ephesians:3:7 @Of which I was made a preacher, through that grace of God which was given to me in the measure of the working of his power.

bbe@Ephesians:3:8 @To me, who am less than the least of all the saints, was this grace given, so that I might make clear to the Gentiles the good news of the unending wealth of Christ:

bbe@Ephesians:3:9 @And make all men see what is the ordering of the secret which from the first has been kept in God who made all things;

bbe@Ephesians:3:12 @By whom we come near to God without fear through faith in him.

bbe@Ephesians:3:13 @For this reason it is my prayer that you may not become feeble because of my troubles for you, which are your glory.

bbe@Ephesians:3:15 @From whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,

bbe@Ephesians:3:20 @Now to him who is able to do in full measure more than all our desires or thoughts, through the power which is working in us,

bbe@Ephesians:4:2 @With all gentle and quiet behaviour, taking whatever comes, putting up with one another in love;

bbe@Ephesians:4:7 @But to every one of us has grace been given in the measure of the giving of Christ.

bbe@Ephesians:4:8 @For this reason he says, He went up on high, taking his prisoners with him, and gave freely to men.

bbe@Ephesians:4:10 @He who went down is the same who went up far over all the heavens so that he might make all things complete

bbe@Ephesians:4:11 @And he gave some as Apostles, and some, prophets; and some, preachers of the good news; and some to give care and teaching;

bbe@Ephesians:4:13 @Till we all come to the harmony of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to full growth, to the full measure of Christ:

bbe@Ephesians:4:14 @So that we may be no longer children, sent this way and that, turned about by every wind of teaching, by the twisting and tricks of men, by the deceits of error;

bbe@Ephesians:4:15 @But saying true words in love, may come to full growth in him, who is the head, even Christ;

bbe@Ephesians:4:16 @Through whom all the body, being rightly formed and united together, by the full working of every part, is increased to the building up of itself in love.

bbe@Ephesians:4:22 @That you are to put away, in relation to your earlier way of life, the old man, which has become evil by love of deceit;

bbe@Ephesians:4:28 @Let him who was a thief be so no longer, but let him do good work with his hands, so that he may have something to give to him who is in need.

bbe@Ephesians:4:29 @Let no evil talk come out of your mouth, but only what is good for giving necessary teaching, and for grace to those who give ear.

bbe@Ephesians:5:2 @And be living in love, even as Christ had love for you, and gave himself up for us, an offering to God for a perfume of a sweet smell.

bbe@Ephesians:5:3 @But evil acts of the flesh and all unclean things, or desire for others' property, let it not even be named among you, as is right for saints;

bbe@Ephesians:5:6 @Do not be turned from the right way by foolish words; for because of these things the punishment of God comes on those who do not put themselves under him.

bbe@Ephesians:5:7 @Have no part with such men;

bbe@Ephesians:5:8 @For you at one time were dark, but now are light in the Lord: let your behaviour be that of children of light

bbe@Ephesians:5:12 @For the things which are done by them in secret it is shame even to put into words

bbe@Ephesians:5:14 @For this reason he says, Be awake, you who are sleeping, and come up from among the dead, and Christ will be your light.

bbe@Ephesians:5:16 @Making good use of the time, because the days are evil.

bbe@Ephesians:5:18 @And do not take overmuch wine by which one may be overcome, but be full of the Spirit;

bbe@Ephesians:5:19 @Joining with one another in holy songs of praise and of the Spirit, using your voice in songs and making melody in your heart to the Lord;

bbe@Ephesians:5:20 @Giving praise at all times for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to God, even the Father;

bbe@Ephesians:5:31 @For this cause will a man go away from his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.

bbe@Ephesians:6:6 @Not only under your master's eye, as pleasers of men; but as servants of Christ, doing the pleasure of God from the heart;

bbe@Ephesians:6:7 @Doing your work readily, as to the Lord, and not to men:

bbe@Ephesians:6:9 @And, you masters, do the same things to them, not making use of violent words: in the knowledge that their Master and yours is in heaven, and he has no respect for a man's position.

bbe@Ephesians:6:11 @Take up God's instruments of war, so that you may be able to keep your position against all the deceits of the Evil One.

bbe@Ephesians:6:18 @With prayers and deep desires, making requests at all times in the Spirit, and keeping watch, with strong purpose, in prayer for all the saints,

bbe@Ephesians:6:19 @And for me, that words may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make clear without fear the secret of the good news,

bbe@Ephesians:6:20 @For which I am a representative in chains, and that I may say without fear the things which it is right for me to say.

bbe@Philippians:1:3 @I give praise to my God at every memory of you,

bbe@Philippians:1:7 @So it is right for me to take thought for you all in this way, because I have you in my heart; for in my chains, and in my arguments before the judges in support of the good news, making clear that it is true, you all have your part with me in grace.

bbe@Philippians:1:8 @For God is my witness, how my love goes out to you all in the loving mercies of Christ Jesus.

bbe@Philippians:1:13 @So that it became clear through all the Praetorium, and to all the rest, that I was a prisoner on account of Christ;

bbe@Philippians:1:15 @Though some are preaching Christ out of envy and competition, others do it out of a good heart:

bbe@Philippians:1:17 @But those are preaching Christ in a spirit of competition, not from their hearts, but with the purpose of giving me pain in my prison.

bbe@Philippians:1:20 @In the measure of my strong hope and belief that in nothing will I be put to shame, but that without fear, as at all times, so now will Christ have glory in my body, by life or by death.

bbe@Philippians:1:21 @For to me life is Christ and death is profit.

bbe@Philippians:1:26 @So that your pride in me may be increased in Christ Jesus through my being present with you again.

bbe@Philippians:1:27 @Only let your behaviour do credit to the good news of Christ, so that if I come and see you or if I am away from you, I may have news of you that you are strong in one spirit, working together with one soul for the faith of the good news;

bbe@Philippians:1:30 @Fighting the same fight which you saw in me, and now have word of in me.

bbe@Philippians:2:1 @If then there is any comfort in Christ, any help given by love, any uniting of hearts in the Spirit, any loving mercies and pity,

bbe@Philippians:2:2 @Make my joy complete by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in harmony and of one mind;

bbe@Philippians:2:7 @But he made himself as nothing, taking the form of a servant, being made like men;

bbe@Philippians:2:9 @For this reason God has put him in the highest place and has given to him the name which is greater than every name;

bbe@Philippians:2:10 @So that at the name of Jesus every knee may be bent, of those in heaven and those on earth and those in the underworld,

bbe@Philippians:2:12 @So then, my loved ones, as you have at all times done what I say, not only when I am present, but now much more when I am not with you, give yourselves to working out your salvation with fear in your hearts;

bbe@Philippians:2:14 @Do all things without protests and arguments;

bbe@Philippians:2:18 @And in the same way do you be glad and have a part in my joy.

bbe@Philippians:2:22 @But his quality is clear to you; how, as a child is to its father, so he was a help to me in the work of the good news.

bbe@Philippians:2:23 @Him then I am hoping to send as quickly as possible, when I am able to see how things will go for me:

bbe@Philippians:2:24 @But I have faith in the Lord that I myself will come before long.

bbe@Philippians:2:25 @But it seemed to me necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother, who has taken part with me in the work and in the fight, and your servant, sent by you for help in my need;

bbe@Philippians:2:27 @For in fact he was ill almost to death: but God had mercy on him; and not only on him but on me, so that I might not have grief on grief.

bbe@Philippians:2:30 @Because for the work of Christ he was near to death, putting his life in danger to make your care for me complete.

bbe@Philippians:3:1 @For the rest, my brothers, be glad in the Lord. Writing the same things to you is no trouble to me, and for you it is safe.

bbe@Philippians:3:7 @But those things which were profit to me, I gave up for Christ.

bbe@Philippians:3:8 @Yes truly, and I am ready to give up all things for the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord, which is more than all: for whom I have undergone the loss of all things, and to me they are less than nothing, so that I may have Christ as my reward,

bbe@Philippians:3:12 @Not as if I had even now got the reward or been made complete: but I go on in the hope that I may come to the knowledge of that for which I was made the servant of Christ Jesus.

bbe@Philippians:3:13 @Brothers, it is clear to me that I have not come to that knowledge; but one thing I do, letting go those things which are past, and stretching out to the things which are before,

bbe@Philippians:3:15 @Then let us all, who have come to full growth, be of this mind: and if in anything you are of a different mind, even this will God make clear to you:

bbe@Philippians:3:16 @Only, as far as we have got, let us be guided by the same rule.

bbe@Philippians:3:17 @Brothers, take me as your example, and take note of those who are walking after the example we have given.

bbe@Philippians:3:19 @Whose end is destruction, whose god is the stomach, and whose glory is in their shame, whose minds are fixed on the things of the earth.

bbe@Philippians:3:20 @For our country is in heaven; from where the Saviour for whom we are waiting will come, even the Lord Jesus Christ:

bbe@Philippians:3:21 @By whom this poor body of ours will be changed into the image of the body of his glory, in the measure of the working by which he is able to put all things under himself.

bbe@Philippians:4:1 @So my brothers, well loved and very dear to me, my joy and crown, be strong in the Lord, my loved ones.

bbe@Philippians:4:2 @I make request to Euodias and Syntyche to be of the same mind in the Lord.

bbe@Philippians:4:3 @And I make request to you, true helper in my work, to see to the needs of those women who took part with me in the good news, with Clement and the rest of my brother-workers whose names are in the book of life.

bbe@Philippians:4:4 @Be glad in the Lord at all times: again I say, Be glad.

bbe@Philippians:4:5 @Let your gentle behaviour be clear to all men. The Lord is near.

bbe@Philippians:4:9 @The things which came to you by my teaching and preaching, and which you saw in me, these things do, and the God of peace will be with you.

bbe@Philippians:4:10 @But I am very glad in the Lord that your care for me has come to life again; though you did in fact take thought for me, but you were not able to give effect to it

bbe@Philippians:4:12 @It is the same to me if I am looked down on or honoured; everywhere and in all things I have the secret of how to be full and how to go without food; how to have wealth and how to be in need.

bbe@Philippians:4:13 @I am able to do all things through him who gives me strength.

bbe@Philippians:4:14 @But you did well to have care for me in my need.

bbe@Philippians:4:15 @And you have knowledge, Philippians, that when the good news first came to you, when I went away from Macedonia, no church took part with me in the business of giving to the saints, but you only;

bbe@Philippians:4:16 @Because even in Thessalonica you sent once and again to me in my need.

bbe@Philippians:4:18 @I have all things and more than enough: I am made full, having had from Epaphroditus the things which came from you, a perfume of a sweet smell, an offering well pleasing to God.

bbe@Philippians:4:21 @Give words of love to every saint in Christ Jesus. The brothers who are with me send you their love.

bbe@Colossians:1:3 @We give praise to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, making prayer for you at all times,

bbe@Colossians:1:6 @Which has come to you; and which in all the world is giving fruit and increase, as it has done in you from the day when it came to your ears and you had true knowledge of the grace of God;

bbe@Colossians:1:11 @Full of strength in the measure of the great power of his glory, so that you may undergo all troubles with joy;

bbe@Colossians:1:18 @And he is the head of the body, the church: the starting point of all things, the first to come again from the dead; so that in all things he might have the chief place.

bbe@Colossians:1:19 @For God in full measure was pleased to be in him;

bbe@Colossians:1:23 @If you keep yourselves safely based in the faith, not moved from the hope of the good news which came to you, and which was given to every living being under heaven; of which I, Paul, was made a servant.

bbe@Colossians:1:25 @Of which I became a servant by the purpose of God which was given to me for you, to give effect to the word of God,

bbe@Colossians:1:26 @The secret which has been kept from all times and generations, but has now been made clear to his saints,

bbe@Colossians:1:29 @And for this purpose I am working, using all my strength by the help of his power which is working in me strongly.

bbe@Colossians:2:2 @So that their hearts may be comforted, and that being joined together in love, they may come to the full wealth of the certain knowledge of the secret of God, even Christ,

bbe@Colossians:2:7 @Rooted and based together in him, strong in the faith which the teaching gave you, giving praise to God at all times.

bbe@Colossians:2:8 @Take care that no one takes you away by force, through man's wisdom and deceit, going after the beliefs of men and the theories of the world, and not after Christ:

bbe@Colossians:2:12 @Having been put to death with him in baptism, by which you came to life again with him, through faith in the working of God, who made him come back from the dead.

bbe@Colossians:2:15 @Having made himself free from the rule of authorities and powers, he put them openly to shame, glorying over them in it.

bbe@Colossians:2:17 @For these are an image of the things which are to come; but the body is Christ's.

bbe@Colossians:2:22 @(Rules which are all to come to an end with their use) after the orders and teaching of men?

bbe@Colossians:3:6 @Because of which the wrath of God comes on those who go against his orders;

bbe@Colossians:3:9 @Do not make false statements to one another; because you have put away the old man with all his doings,

bbe@Colossians:3:10 @And have put on the new man, which has become new in knowledge after the image of his maker;

bbe@Colossians:3:12 @As saints of God, then, holy and dearly loved, let your behaviour be marked by pity and mercy, kind feeling, a low opinion of yourselves, gentle ways, and a power of undergoing all things;

bbe@Colossians:3:15 @And let the peace of Christ be ruling in your hearts, as it was the purpose of God for you to be one body; and give praise to God at all times.

bbe@Colossians:3:16 @Let the word of Christ be in you in all wealth of wisdom; teaching and helping one another with songs of praise and holy words, making melody to God with grace in your hearts.

bbe@Colossians:3:17 @And whatever you do, in word or in act, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving praise to God the Father through him.

bbe@Colossians:3:22 @Servants, in all things do the orders of your natural masters; not only when their eyes are on you, as pleasers of men, but with all your heart, fearing the Lord:

bbe@Colossians:3:23 @Whatever you do, do it readily, as to the Lord and not to men;

bbe@Colossians:3:25 @For the wrongdoer will have punishment for the wrong he has done, without respect for any man's position.

bbe@Colossians:4:2 @Give yourselves to prayer at all times, keeping watch with praise;

bbe@Colossians:4:4 @So that I may make it clear, as it is right for me to do.

bbe@Colossians:4:5 @Be wise in your behaviour to those who are outside, making good use of the time.

bbe@Colossians:4:10 @Aristarchus, my brother-prisoner, sends his love to you, and Mark, a relation of Barnabas (about whom you have been given orders: if he comes to you, be kind to him),

bbe@Colossians:4:11 @And Jesus, whose other name is Justus; these are of the circumcision: they are my only brother-workers for the kingdom of God, who have been a comfort to me.

bbe@Colossians:4:14 @Luke, our well-loved medical friend, and Demas, send you their love.

bbe@Colossians:4:16 @And when this letter has been made public among you, let the same be done in the church of Laodicea; and see that you have the letter from Laodicea.

bbe@Colossians:4:18 @I, Paul, give you this word of love in my handwriting. Keep in memory that I am a prisoner. Grace be with you.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:2 @We give praise to God at all times for you, keeping you in memory in our prayers;

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:5 @Because our good news came to you, not in word only, but in power, and in the Holy Spirit, so that you were completely certain of it; even as you saw what our behaviour to you was like from our love to you.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:6 @And you took us and the Lord as your example, after the word had come to you in much trouble, with joy in the Holy Spirit;

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:7 @So that you became an example to all those who have faith in Christ in Macedonia and Achaia.

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:9 @For they themselves give the news of how we came among you; and how you were turned from images to God, to the worship of a true and living God,

bbe@1Thessalonians:1:10 @Waiting for his Son from heaven, who came back from the dead, even Jesus, our Saviour from the wrath to come.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:3 @For our witness does not come from error or from an unclean heart or from deceit:

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:4 @But even as the good news was given to us by the approval of God, so we give it out; not as pleasing men, but God by whom our hearts are tested.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:5 @For it is common knowledge among you that we never made use of smooth-sounding false words, and God is witness that at no time were we secretly desiring profit for ourselves,

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:6 @Or looking for glory from men, from you or from others, when we might have made ourselves a care to you as Apostles of Christ.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:9 @For you have the memory, my brothers, of our trouble and care; how, working night and day, so that we might not be a trouble to any of you, we gave you the good news of God.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:13 @And for this cause we still give praise to God, that, when the word came to your ears through us, you took it, not as the word of man, but, as it truly is, the word of God, which has living power in you who have faith.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:14 @For you, my brothers, took as your examples the churches of God which are in Judaea in Christ Jesus; because you underwent the same things from your countrymen as they did from the Jews;

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:15 @Who put to death the Lord Jesus and the prophets, violently driving us out; who are unpleasing to God and against all men;

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:16 @Who, to make the measure of their sins complete, kept us from giving the word of salvation to the Gentiles: but the wrath of God is about to come on them in the fullest degree.

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:17 @But we, my brothers, being away from you for a short time, in body but not in heart, had all the more desire to see your face;

bbe@1Thessalonians:2:18 @For which reason we made attempts to come to you, even I, Paul, once and again; but Satan kept us from coming.

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:4 @And when we were with you, we said to you that trouble was before us; and so it came about, as you see.

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:5 @For this reason, when I was no longer able to keep quiet, I sent to get news of your faith, fearing that you might be tested by the Evil One and that our work might come to nothing.

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:6 @But now that Timothy has come to us from you, and has given us good news of your faith and love, and that you have happy memories of us, desiring greatly to see us, even as we do to see you;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:11 @Now may our God and Father himself and our Lord Jesus make a way for us to come to you;

bbe@1Thessalonians:3:12 @And the Lord give you increase of love in fullest measure to one another and to all men, even as our love to you;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:1 @And last of all, the prayer which we make to you from our heart and in the name of the Lord Jesus, is this: that as we made clear to you what sort of behaviour is pleasing to God, as in fact you are doing now, so you will go on in these ways, but more and more.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:9 @But about loving the brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you in this letter: for you have the teaching of God that love for one another is right and necessary;

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:14 @For if we have faith that Jesus underwent death and came back again, even so those who are sleeping will come again with him by God's power.

bbe@1Thessalonians:4:16 @Because the Lord himself will come down from heaven with a word of authority, with the voice of the chief angel, with the sound of a horn: and the dead in Christ will come to life first;

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:1 @But about the times and their order, my brothers, there is no need for me to say anything to you.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:2 @For you yourselves have the knowledge that the day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:3 @When they say, There is peace and no danger, then sudden destruction will come on them, as birth-pains on a woman with child; and they will not be able to get away from it.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:16 @Have joy at all times.

bbe@1Thessalonians:5:27 @I give orders in the name of the Lord that all the brothers are to be present at the reading of this letter.

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:3 @It is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, because of the great increase of your faith, and the wealth of your love for one another;

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:7 @And to you who are troubled, rest with us, when the Lord Jesus comes from heaven with the angels of his power in flames of fire,

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:8 @To give punishment to those who have no knowledge of God, and to those who do not give ear to the good news of our Lord Jesus:

bbe@2Thessalonians:1:12 @So that glory may be given to the name of our Lord Jesus through you, and you may have glory in him, by the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:1 @Now as to the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ, and our meeting with him, it is our desire, my brothers,

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:2 @That you may not be moved in mind or troubled by a spirit, or by a word, or by a letter as from us, with the suggestion that the day of the Lord is even now come;

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:4 @Who puts himself against all authority, lifting himself up over all which is named God or is given worship; so that he takes his seat in the Temple of God, putting himself forward as God.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:5 @Have you no memory of what I said when I was with you, giving you word of these things?

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:6 @And now it is clear to you what is keeping back his revelation till the time comes for him to be seen.

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:8 @And then will come the revelation of that evil one, whom the Lord Jesus will put to death with the breath of his mouth, and give to destruction by the revelation of his coming;

bbe@2Thessalonians:2:13 @But it is right for us to give praise to God at all times for you, brothers, loved by the Lord, because it was the purpose of God from the first that you might have salvation, being made holy by the Spirit and by faith in what is true:

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:2 @And that we may be made free from foolish and evil men; for not all have faith.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:6 @Now we give you orders, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, to keep away from all those whose behaviour is not well ordered and in harmony with the teaching which they had from us.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:9 @Not because we have not the right, but to make ourselves an example to you, so that you might do the same.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:11 @For it has come to our ears that there are some among you whose behaviour is uncontrolled, who do no work at all, but are over-interested in the business of others.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:14 @And if any man does not give attention to what we have said in this letter, take note of that man, and keep away from him, so that he may be shamed.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:16 @Now the Lord of peace himself give you peace at all times and in every way. May the Lord be with you all.

bbe@2Thessalonians:3:17 @These words of love to you at the end are in my writing, Paul's writing, and this is the mark of every letter from me.

bbe@1Timothy:1:2 @To Timothy, my true child in the faith: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

bbe@1Timothy:1:3 @It was my desire, when I went on into Macedonia, that you might make a stop at Ephesus, to give orders to certain men not to put forward a different teaching,

bbe@1Timothy:1:4 @Or to give attention to stories and long lists of generations, from which come questionings and doubts, in place of God's ordered way of life which is in faith;

bbe@1Timothy:1:6 @From which some have been turned away, giving themselves to foolish talking;

bbe@1Timothy:1:7 @Desiring to be teachers of the law, though they have no knowledge of what they say or of the statements which they make so certainly.

bbe@1Timothy:1:9 @With the knowledge that the law is made, not for the upright man, but for those who have no respect for law and order, for evil men and sinners, for the unholy and those who have no religion, for those who put their fathers or mothers to death, for takers of life,

bbe@1Timothy:1:10 @For those who go after loose women, for those with unnatural desires, for those who take men prisoners, who make false statements and false oaths, and those who do any other things against the right teaching,

bbe@1Timothy:1:12 @I give praise to him who gave me power, Christ Jesus our Lord, because he took me to be true, making me his servant,

bbe@1Timothy:1:13 @Though I had said violent words against God, and done cruel acts, causing great trouble: but I was given mercy, because I did it without knowledge, not having faith;

bbe@1Timothy:1:15 @It is a true saying, in which all may put their faith, that Christ Jesus came into the world to give salvation to sinners, of whom I am the chief:

bbe@1Timothy:1:16 @But for this reason I was given mercy, so that in me, the chief of sinners, Jesus Christ might make clear all his mercy, as an example to those who in the future would have faith in him to eternal life.

bbe@1Timothy:1:19 @Keeping faith, and being conscious of well-doing; for some, by not doing these things, have gone wrong in relation to the faith:

bbe@1Timothy:1:20 @Such are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I have given up to Satan, so that they may say no more evil words against God.

bbe@1Timothy:2:1 @My desire is, first of all, that you will make requests and prayers and give praise for all men;

bbe@1Timothy:2:4 @Whose desire is that all men may have salvation and come to the knowledge of what is true.

bbe@1Timothy:2:5 @For there is one God and one peacemaker between God and men, the man Christ Jesus,

bbe@1Timothy:2:6 @Who gave himself as an offering for all; witness of which was to be given at the right time;

bbe@1Timothy:2:7 @And of this I became a preacher and an Apostle (what I say is true, not false,) and a teacher of the Gentiles in the true faith.

bbe@1Timothy:2:8 @It is my desire, then, that in every place men may give themselves to prayer, lifting up holy hands, without wrath or argument.

bbe@1Timothy:2:9 @And that women may be dressed in simple clothing, with a quiet and serious air; not with twisted hair and gold or jewels or robes of great price;

bbe@1Timothy:2:10 @But clothed with good works, as is right for women who are living in the fear of God.

bbe@1Timothy:2:13 @For Adam was first formed, then Eve;

bbe@1Timothy:2:14 @And Adam was not taken by deceit, but the woman, being tricked, became a wrongdoer.

bbe@1Timothy:2:15 @But if they go on in faith and love and holy self-control, she will be kept safe at the time of childbirth.

bbe@1Timothy:3:2 @The Bishop, then, is to be a man of good name, the husband of one wife, self-controlled, serious-minded, having respect for order, opening his house freely to guests, a ready teacher;

bbe@1Timothy:3:6 @Not one newly taken into the church, for fear that, through his high opinion of himself, he may come into the same sin as the Evil One.

bbe@1Timothy:3:7 @And he is to have a good name among those outside the church, so that nothing may be said against him and he may not be taken by the designs of the Evil One.

bbe@1Timothy:3:8 @Deacons, in the same way, are to be serious in their behaviour, not false in word, not given to taking much wine or greatly desiring the wealth of this world;

bbe@1Timothy:3:10 @And let these first be put to the test; then let them become Deacons if there is nothing against them

bbe@1Timothy:3:11 @Women are to be serious in behaviour, saying no evil of others, controlling themselves, true in all things.

bbe@1Timothy:3:13 @For those who have done good work as Deacons get for themselves a good position and become free from fear in the faith which is in Christ Jesus.

bbe@1Timothy:3:14 @I am writing these things to you, though I am hoping to come to you before long;

bbe@1Timothy:3:15 @But if I am long in coming, this will make clear to you what behaviour is right for men in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and base of what is true.

bbe@1Timothy:3:16 @And without argument, great is the secret of religion: He who was seen in the flesh, who was given God's approval in the spirit, was seen by the angels, of whom the good news was given among the nations, in whom the world had faith, who was taken up in glory.

bbe@1Timothy:4:1 @But the Spirit says clearly that in later times some will be turned away from the faith, giving their minds to spirits of deceit, and the teachings of evil spirits,

bbe@1Timothy:4:2 @Through the false ways of men whose words are untrue, whose hearts are burned as with a heated iron;

bbe@1Timothy:4:3 @Who keep men from being married and from taking food which God made to be taken with praise by those who have faith and true knowledge.

bbe@1Timothy:4:8 @For the training of the body is of profit for a little, but religion is of profit in every way, giving hope for the life which now is, and for that which is to come.

bbe@1Timothy:4:10 @And this is the purpose of all our work and our fighting, because our hope is in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, and specially of those who have faith

bbe@1Timothy:4:13 @Till I come, give attention to the reading of the holy Writings, to comforting the saints, and to teaching.

bbe@1Timothy:5:1 @Do not say sharp words to one who has authority in the church, but let your talk be as to a father, and to the younger men as to brothers:

bbe@1Timothy:5:2 @To the older women as to mothers, to the younger as to sisters, with a clean heart.

bbe@1Timothy:5:15 @For even now some are turned away to Satan.

bbe@1Timothy:5:16 @If any woman of the faith has relations who are widows, let her give them help, so that the care of them does not come on the church, and so it may give help to those who are truly widowed.

bbe@1Timothy:5:19 @Do not take as true any statement made against one in authority, but only if two or three give witness to it.

bbe@1Timothy:5:22 @Do not put hands on any man without thought, and have no part in other men's sins: keep yourself clean.

bbe@1Timothy:5:24 @The sins of some men are clearly seen, going before them to be judged; but with others, their sins go after them.

bbe@1Timothy:5:25 @In the same way, there are good works which are clearly seen; and those which are not so, may not be kept secret.

bbe@1Timothy:6:1 @Let all who are servants under the yoke give all honour to their masters, so that no evil may be said against the name of God and his teaching.

bbe@1Timothy:6:3 @If any man gives different teaching, not in agreement with the true words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and with the teaching which is in agreement with true religion,

bbe@1Timothy:6:4 @He has an over-high opinion of himself; being without knowledge, having only an unhealthy love of questionings and wars of words, from which come envy, fighting, cruel words, evil thoughts,

bbe@1Timothy:6:5 @Bitter talk of men who, being evil in mind and dead to what is true, take the faith to be a way of making profit.

bbe@1Timothy:6:7 @For we came into the world with nothing, and we are not able to take anything out;

bbe@1Timothy:6:9 @But those who have a desire for wealth are falling into danger, and are taken as in a net by a number of foolish and damaging desires, through which men are overtaken by death and destruction.

bbe@1Timothy:6:10 @For the love of money is a root of all evil: and some whose hearts were fixed on it have been turned away from the faith, and been wounded with unnumbered sorrows.

bbe@1Timothy:6:14 @To keep the word untouched by evil, clear from all shame, till the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ:

bbe@1Timothy:6:15 @Which at the right time he will make clear, who is the eternal and only Ruler, King of kings, and Lord of lords;

bbe@1Timothy:6:16 @Who only has life for ever, living in light to which no man may come near; whom no man has seen or is able to see: to whom be honour and power for ever. So be it.

bbe@1Timothy:6:17 @Give orders to those who have money and goods in this life, not to be lifted up in their minds, or to put their hope in the uncertain chances of wealth, but in God who gives us in full measure all things for our use;

bbe@1Timothy:6:19 @Making ready for themselves a safe place for the time to come, so that the true life may be theirs.

bbe@1Timothy:6:20 @O Timothy, take good care of that which is given to you, turning away from the wrong and foolish talk and arguments of that knowledge which is falsely so named;

bbe@1Timothy:6:21 @Through which some, who gave their minds to it, have been turned away from the faith. Grace be with you.

bbe@2Timothy:1:2 @To Timothy, my well-loved child: Grace, mercy, peace, from God the Father and Christ Jesus our Lord.

bbe@2Timothy:1:3 @I give praise to God, whose servant I have been, with a heart free from sin, from the time of my fathers, because in my prayers at all times the thought of you is with me, night and day

bbe@2Timothy:1:4 @Desiring to see you, keeping in my memory your weeping, so that I may be full of joy;

bbe@2Timothy:1:8 @Have no feeling of shame, then, for the witness of our Lord or for me, his prisoner: but undergo all things for the good news in the measure of the power of God;

bbe@2Timothy:1:9 @Who gave us salvation, marking us out for his purpose, not on account of our works, but in the measure of his purpose and his grace, which was given to us in Christ Jesus before times eternal,

bbe@2Timothy:1:10 @But has now been made clear by the revelation of our Saviour Christ Jesus, who put an end to death and made life unending come to light through the good news,

bbe@2Timothy:1:12 @And for which I undergo these things: but I have no feeling of shame. For I have knowledge of him in whom I have faith, and I am certain that he is able to keep that which I have given into his care till that day.

bbe@2Timothy:1:13 @Keep the form of those true words which you had from me, in faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.

bbe@2Timothy:1:15 @You have had news that all those in Asia went away from me; among whom are Phygelus and Hermogenes:

bbe@2Timothy:1:16 @May the Lord give mercy to the house of Onesiphorus because he frequently gave me help, and had no feeling of shame because I was in chains;

bbe@2Timothy:1:17 @But when he was in Rome, he went in search of me everywhere, and came to me

bbe@2Timothy:1:18 @(May he have the Lord's mercy in that day); and of all he did for me at Ephesus you have full knowledge.

bbe@2Timothy:2:8 @Keep in mind Jesus Christ, of the seed of David, who came back from the dead, as my good news gives witness:

bbe@2Timothy:2:9 @In which I put up with the hardest conditions, even prison chains, like one who has done a crime; but the word of God is not in chains.

bbe@2Timothy:2:14 @Put these things before them, giving them orders in the name of the Lord to keep themselves from fighting about words, which is of no profit, only causing error in their hearers.

bbe@2Timothy:2:15 @Let it be your care to get the approval of God, as a workman who has no cause for shame, giving the true word in the right way.

bbe@2Timothy:2:17 @And their words will be like poisoned wounds in the flesh: such are Hymenaeus and Philetus;

bbe@2Timothy:2:18 @Men whose ideas are all false, who say that the coming back from the dead has even now taken place, overturning the faith of some.

bbe@2Timothy:2:19 @But God's strong base is unchanging, having this sign, The Lord has knowledge of those who are his: and, Let everyone by whom the name of the Lord is named be turned away from evil.

bbe@2Timothy:2:20 @Now in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and silver, but others of wood and earth, and some which are honoured and some without honour.

bbe@2Timothy:3:1 @But be certain of this, that in the last days times of trouble will come.

bbe@2Timothy:3:2 @For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money, uplifted in pride, given to bitter words, going against the authority of their fathers, never giving praise, having no religion,

bbe@2Timothy:3:6 @For these are they who go secretly into houses, making prisoners of foolish women, weighted down with sin, turned from the way by their evil desires,

bbe@2Timothy:3:8 @And as James and Jambres went against Moses, so do these go against what is true: men of evil minds, who, tested by faith, are seen to be false.

bbe@2Timothy:3:9 @But they will go no farther: for their foolish behaviour will be clear to all men, as theirs was in the end.

bbe@2Timothy:3:11 @My punishments and pain; the things which came to me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; the cruel attacks made on me: and the Lord made me free from them all.

bbe@2Timothy:3:13 @Evil and false men will become worse and worse, using deceit and themselves overcome by deceit.

bbe@2Timothy:3:15 @And that from the time when you were a child, you have had knowledge of the holy Writings, which are able to make you wise to salvation, through faith in Christ Jesus.

bbe@2Timothy:3:16 @Every holy Writing which comes from God is of profit for teaching, for training, for guiding, for education in righteousness:

bbe@2Timothy:4:2 @Be preaching the word at all times, in every place; make protests, say sharp words, give comfort, with long waiting and teaching;

bbe@2Timothy:4:3 @For the time will come when they will not take the true teaching; but, moved by their desires, they will get for themselves a great number of teachers for the pleasure of hearing them;

bbe@2Timothy:4:7 @I have made a good fight, I have come to the end of my journey, I have kept the faith:

bbe@2Timothy:4:8 @From now on, the crown of righteousness is made ready for me, which the Lord, the upright judge, Will give to me at that day: and not only to me, but to all those who have had love for his revelation.

bbe@2Timothy:4:9 @Do your best to come to me before long:

bbe@2Timothy:4:10 @For Demas has gone away from me, for love of this present life, and has gone to Thessalonica: Crescens has gone to Galatia, Titus to Dalmatia

bbe@2Timothy:4:11 @Only Luke is with me. Get Mark and take him with you; for he is of use to me in the work.

bbe@2Timothy:4:13 @The coat which I did not take from Troas and which is with Carpus, get when you come, and the books, specially the papers.

bbe@2Timothy:4:14 @Alexander the copper-worker did me much wrong: the Lord will give him the reward of his works:

bbe@2Timothy:4:16 @At my first meeting with my judges, no one took my part, but all went away from me. May it not be put to their account.

bbe@2Timothy:4:17 @But the Lord was by my side and gave me strength; so that through me the news might be given out in full measure, and all the Gentiles might give ear: and I was taken out of the mouth of the lion.

bbe@2Timothy:4:18 @The Lord will keep me safe from every evil work and will give me salvation in his kingdom in heaven: to whom be glory for ever and ever. So be it.

bbe@2Timothy:4:21 @Do your best to come before the winter. Eubulus sends you his love, and Pudens and Linus and Claudia, and all the brothers.

bbe@Titus:1:1 @Paul, a servant of God, and an Apostle of Jesus Christ, in agreement with the faith of the saints of God and the full knowledge of what is true in harmony with religion,

bbe@Titus:1:2 @In the hope of eternal life, which was made certain before eternal time, by the word of God who is ever true;

bbe@Titus:1:3 @Who, in his time, made clear his word in the good news, of which, by the order of God our Saviour, I became a preacher;

bbe@Titus:1:5 @I did not take you with me when I went away from Crete, so that you might do what was necessary to put things in order there, placing men in authority over the churches in every town, as I said to you;

bbe@Titus:1:6 @Men having a good record, husbands of one wife, whose children are of the faith, children of whom it may not be said that they are given to loose living or are uncontrolled.

bbe@Titus:1:9 @Keeping to the true word of the teaching, so that he may be able to give comfort by right teaching and overcome the arguments of the doubters.

bbe@Titus:1:10 @For there are men who are not ruled by law; foolish talkers, false teachers, specially those of the circumcision,

bbe@Titus:1:11 @By whom some families have been completely overturned; who take money for teaching things which are not right; these will have to be stopped.

bbe@Titus:1:12 @One of their prophets has said, The men of Crete are ever false, evil beasts, lovers of food, hating work.

bbe@Titus:1:13 @This witness is true. So say sharp words to them so that they may come to the right faith,

bbe@Titus:1:14 @Giving no attention to the fictions of the Jews and the rules of men who have no true knowledge.

bbe@Titus:1:15 @To the clean in heart all things are clean: but to those who are unclean and without faith nothing is clean; they become unclean in mind and in thought.

bbe@Titus:2:1 @But let your words be in agreement with true and right teaching:

bbe@Titus:2:2 @That old men are to be simple in their tastes, serious, wise, true in faith, in love, and of a quiet mind.

bbe@Titus:2:3 @That old women are to be self-respecting in behaviour, not saying evil of others, not given to taking much wine, teachers of that which is good,

bbe@Titus:2:4 @Training the younger women to have love for their husbands and children,

bbe@Titus:2:6 @To the young men give orders to be wise and serious-minded:

bbe@Titus:2:8 @Saying true and right words, against which no protest may be made, so that he who is not on our side may be put to shame, unable to say any evil of us.

bbe@Titus:2:9 @Servants are to be under the authority of their masters, pleasing them in all things, without argument;

bbe@Titus:2:11 @For the grace of God has come, giving salvation to all men,

bbe@Titus:2:15 @On all these points give teaching and help, and make clear what is right with all authority. Let all men give you honour.

bbe@Titus:3:2 @To say no evil of any man, not to be fighters, to give way to others, to be gentle in behaviour to all men.

bbe@Titus:3:4 @But when the mercy of God our Saviour, and his love to man was seen,

bbe@Titus:3:5 @Not by works of righteousness which we did ourselves, but in the measure of his mercy, he gave us salvation, through the washing of the new birth and the giving of new life in the Holy Spirit,

bbe@Titus:3:8 @This is a true saying; and it is my desire that you may give certain witness about these things, so that those who have had faith in God may give attention to good works. These things are good and of profit to men;

bbe@Titus:3:9 @But have nothing to do with foolish questionings, and lists of generations, and fights and arguments about the law; for they are of no profit and foolish.

bbe@Titus:3:12 @When I send Artemas or Tychicus to you, do your best to come to me at Nicopolis: for it is my purpose to be there for the winter.

bbe@Titus:3:15 @All who are with me send you their love. Give our love to our friends in the faith. Grace be with you all.

bbe@Philemon:1:4 @I give praise to God at all times and make prayer for you,

bbe@Philemon:1:8 @And so, though I might, in the name of Christ, give you orders to do what is right,

bbe@Philemon:1:11 @Who in the past was of no profit to you, but now is of profit to you and to me:

bbe@Philemon:1:13 @Though my desire was to keep him with me, to be my servant in the chains of the good news, in your place:

bbe@Philemon:1:15 @For it is possible that for this reason he was parted from you for a time, so that you might have him for ever;

bbe@Philemon:1:16 @No longer as a servant, but more than a servant, a brother, very dear to me specially, but much more to you, in the flesh as well as in the Lord.

bbe@Philemon:1:17 @If then you take me to be your friend and brother, take him in as myself.

bbe@Philemon:1:19 @I, Paul, writing this myself, say, I will make payment to you: and I do not say to you that you are in debt to me even for your life.

bbe@Philemon:1:20 @So brother, let me have joy of you in the Lord: give new life to my heart in Christ.

bbe@Philemon:1:22 @And make a room ready for me; for I am hoping that through your prayers I will be given to you.

bbe@Hebrews:1:1 @In times past the word of God came to our fathers through the prophets, in different parts and in different ways;

bbe@Hebrews:1:2 @But now, at the end of these days, it has come to us through his Son, to whom he has given all things for a heritage, and through whom he made the order of the generations;

bbe@Hebrews:1:4 @Having become by so much better than the angels, as the name which is his heritage is more noble than theirs.

bbe@Hebrews:1:5 @To which of the angels did God say at any time, You are my Son, this day I have given you being? or, I will be his Father, and he will be my Son?

bbe@Hebrews:1:7 @And of the angels he says, Who makes his angels winds, and his servants flames of fire:

bbe@Hebrews:1:11 @They will come to their end; but you are for ever; they will become old as a robe;

bbe@Hebrews:1:12 @They will be rolled up like a cloth, even like a robe, and they will be changed: but you are the same and your years will have no end.

bbe@Hebrews:1:13 @But of which of the angels has he said at any time, Take your seat at my right hand till I put all those who are against you under your feet?

bbe@Hebrews:2:1 @For this reason there is the more need for us to give attention to the things which have come to our ears, for fear that by chance we might be slipping away.

bbe@Hebrews:2:2 @Because if the word which came through the angels was fixed, and in the past every evil act against God's orders was given its full punishment;

bbe@Hebrews:2:3 @What will come on us, if we do not give our minds to such a great salvation? a salvation of which our fathers first had knowledge through the words of the Lord, and which was made certain to us by those to whom his words came;

bbe@Hebrews:2:5 @For he did not make the angels rulers over the world to come, of which I am writing.

bbe@Hebrews:2:9 @But we see him who was made a little lower than the angels, even Jesus, crowned with glory and honour, because he let himself be put to death so that by the grace of God he might undergo death for all men.

bbe@Hebrews:2:11 @For he who makes holy and those who are made holy are all of one family; and for this reason it is no shame for him to give them the name of brothers,

bbe@Hebrews:2:12 @Saying, I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers, I will make a song of praise to you before the church.

bbe@Hebrews:2:13 @And again he says, I will put my faith in him. And again, See, I am here, and the children which God has given to me.

bbe@Hebrews:2:14 @And because the children are flesh and blood, he took a body himself and became like them; so that by his death he might put an end to him who had the power of death, that is to say, the Evil One;

bbe@Hebrews:2:17 @Because of this it was necessary for him to be made like his brothers in every way, so that he might be a high priest full of mercy and keeping faith in everything to do with God, making offerings for the sins of the people.

bbe@Hebrews:3:7 @And so, as the Holy Spirit says, Today if you let his voice come to your ears,

bbe@Hebrews:3:8 @Be not hard of heart, as when you made me angry, on the day of testing in the waste land,

bbe@Hebrews:3:9 @When your fathers put me to the test, and saw my works for forty years.

bbe@Hebrews:3:10 @So that I was angry with this generation, and I said, Their hearts are in error at all times, and they have no knowledge of my ways;

bbe@Hebrews:3:11 @And being angry I made an oath, saying, They may not come into my rest.

bbe@Hebrews:3:15 @As it is said, Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart, as when you made him angry.

bbe@Hebrews:3:16 @Who made him angry when his voice came to them? was it not all those who came out of Egypt with Moses?

bbe@Hebrews:3:17 @And with whom was he angry for forty years? was it not with those who did evil, who came to their deaths in the waste land?

bbe@Hebrews:3:18 @And to whom did he make an oath that they might not come into his rest? was it not to those who went against his orders?

bbe@Hebrews:4:1 @Let us then, though we still have God's word that we may come into his rest, go in fear that some of you may be unable to do so.

bbe@Hebrews:4:2 @And, truly, the good news came to us, even as it did to them; but the hearing of the word did them no good, because they were not united in faith with the true hearers.

bbe@Hebrews:4:3 @For those of us who have belief come into his rest; even as he has said, As I said in my oath when I was angry, They may not come into my rest: though the works were done from the time of the making of the world.

bbe@Hebrews:4:5 @And in the same place he says again, They will not come into my rest.

bbe@Hebrews:4:6 @So that as it is clear that some have to go in, and that the first hearers of the good news were not able to go in because they went against God's orders,

bbe@Hebrews:4:7 @After a long time, again naming a certain day, he says in David, Today (as he had said before), Today if you will let his voice come to your ears, be not hard of heart,

bbe@Hebrews:4:10 @For the man who comes into his rest has had rest from his works, as God did from his

bbe@Hebrews:4:11 @Because of this, let us have a strong desire to come into that rest, and let no one go after the example of those who went against God's orders.

bbe@Hebrews:4:16 @Then let us come near to the seat of grace without fear, so that mercy may be given to us, and we may get grace for our help in time of need.

bbe@Hebrews:5:1 @Every high priest who is taken from among men is given his position to take care of the interests of men in those things which have to do with God, so that he may make offerings for sins.

bbe@Hebrews:5:5 @In the same way Christ did not take for himself the glory of being made a high priest, but was given it by him who said, You are my Son, this day I have given you being:

bbe@Hebrews:5:6 @As he says in another place, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

bbe@Hebrews:5:8 @And though he was a Son, through the pain which he underwent, the knowledge came to him of what it was to be under God's orders;

bbe@Hebrews:5:9 @And when he had been made complete, he became the giver of eternal salvation to all those who are under his orders;

bbe@Hebrews:5:10 @Being named by God a high priest of the order of Melchizedek.

bbe@Hebrews:5:12 @And though by this time it would be right for you to be teachers, you still have need of someone to give you teaching about the first simple rules of God's revelation; you have become like babies who have need of milk, and not of solid food

bbe@Hebrews:5:14 @But solid food is for men of full growth, even for those whose senses are trained by use to see what is good and what is evil.

bbe@Hebrews:6:4 @As for those who at one time saw the light, tasting the good things from heaven, and having their part in the Holy Spirit,

bbe@Hebrews:6:5 @With knowledge of the good word of God, and of the powers of the coming time,

bbe@Hebrews:6:6 @And then let themselves be turned away, it is not possible for their hearts to be made new a second time; because they themselves put the Son of God on the cross again, openly shaming him.

bbe@Hebrews:6:10 @For God is true, and will not put away from him the memory of your work and of your love for his name, in the help which you gave and still give to the saints.

bbe@Hebrews:6:11 @And it is our desire that you may all keep the same high purpose in certain hope to the end:

bbe@Hebrews:6:15 @And so, when he had been waiting calmly for a long time, God's word to him was put into effect.

bbe@Hebrews:6:16 @For men at all times make their oaths by what is greater; and any argument is ended by the decision of the oath.

bbe@Hebrews:6:20 @Where Jesus has gone before us, as a high priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

bbe@Hebrews:7:1 @For this Melchizedek, the king of Salem, a priest of the Most High God, who gave Abraham his blessing, meeting him when he came back after putting the kings to death,

bbe@Hebrews:7:2 @And to whom Abraham gave a tenth part of everything which he had, being first named King of righteousness, and then in addition, King of Salem, that is to say, King of peace;

bbe@Hebrews:7:8 @Now at the present time, men over whom death has power take the tenth; but then it was taken by one of whom it is witnessed that he is living.

bbe@Hebrews:7:10 @Because he was still in his father's body when Melchizedek came to him.

bbe@Hebrews:7:11 @Now if it was possible for things to be made complete through the priests of the house of Levi (for the law was given to the people in connection with them), what need was there for another priest who was of the order of Melchizedek and not of the order of Aaron?

bbe@Hebrews:7:13 @For he of whom these things are said comes of another tribe, of which no man has ever made offerings at the altar.

bbe@Hebrews:7:14 @Because it is clear that our Lord comes out of Judah, and Moses said nothing about priests from that tribe.

bbe@Hebrews:7:15 @And this is even more clear if a second priest has come up who is like Melchizedek,

bbe@Hebrews:7:17 @For it has been witnessed of him, You are a priest for ever after the order of Melchizedek.

bbe@Hebrews:7:19 @(Because the law made nothing complete), and in its place there is a better hope, through which we come near to God.

bbe@Hebrews:7:22 @By so much is it a better agreement which we have through Jesus.

bbe@Hebrews:7:25 @So that he is fully able to be the saviour of all who come to God through him, because he is ever living to make prayer to God for them.

bbe@Hebrews:7:28 @The law makes high priests of men who are feeble; but the word of the oath, which was made after the law, gives that position to a Son, in whom all good is for ever complete.

bbe@Hebrews:8:3 @Now every high priest is given authority to take to God the things which are given and to make offerings; so that it is necessary for this man, like them, to have something for an offering.

bbe@Hebrews:8:6 @But now his position as priest is higher. because through him God has made a better agreement with man, based on the giving of better things.

bbe@Hebrews:8:7 @For if that first agreement had been as good as possible, there would have been no place for a second.

bbe@Hebrews:8:8 @For, protesting against them, he says, See, the days are coming when I will make a new agreement with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah;

bbe@Hebrews:8:9 @Not like the agreement which I made with their fathers when I took them by the hand, to be their guide out of the land of Egypt; for they did not keep the agreement with me, and I gave them up, says the Lord.

bbe@Hebrews:8:10 @For this is the agreement which I will make with the people of Israel after those days: I will put my laws into their minds, writing them in their hearts: and I will be their God, and they will be my people:

bbe@Hebrews:8:11 @And there will be no need for every man to be teaching his brother, or his neighbour, saying, This is the knowledge of the Lord: for they will all have knowledge of me, great and small.

bbe@Hebrews:8:12 @And I will have mercy on their evil-doing, and I will not keep their sins in mind.

bbe@Hebrews:8:13 @When he says, A new agreement, he has made the first agreement old. But anything which is getting old and past use will not be seen much longer.

bbe@Hebrews:9:1 @Now the first agreement had its rules of worship, and a holy order.

bbe@Hebrews:9:2 @For the first Tent was made ready, having in it the vessels for the lights and the table and the ordering of the bread; and this is named the holy place.

bbe@Hebrews:9:3 @And inside the second veil was the place which is named the Holy of holies;

bbe@Hebrews:9:4 @Having a vessel of gold in it for burning perfumes, and the ark of the agreement, which was covered with gold and which had in it a pot made of gold for the manna, and Aaron's rod which put out buds, and the stones with the writing of the agreement;

bbe@Hebrews:9:5 @And over it were the winged ones of glory with their wings covering the mercy-seat; about which it is not possible now to say anything in detail.

bbe@Hebrews:9:6 @Now while these things were in existence, the priests went into the first Tent at all times, for prayer and the making of offerings.

bbe@Hebrews:9:8 @The Holy Spirit witnessing by this that the way into the holy place had not at that time been made open, while the first Tent was still in being;

bbe@Hebrews:9:9 @And this is an image of the present time; when the offerings which are given are not able to make the heart of the worshipper completely clean,

bbe@Hebrews:9:10 @Because they are only rules of the flesh, of meats and drinks and washings, which have their place till the time comes when things will be put right.

bbe@Hebrews:9:11 @But now Christ has come as the high priest of the good things of the future, through this greater and better Tent, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this world,

bbe@Hebrews:9:15 @And for this cause it is through him that a new agreement has come into being, so that after the errors under the first agreement had been taken away by his death, the word of God might have effect for those who were marked out for an eternal heritage.

bbe@Hebrews:9:16 @Because where there is a testament, there has to be the death of the man who made it.

bbe@Hebrews:9:17 @For a testament has effect after death; for what power has it while the man who made it is living?

bbe@Hebrews:9:18 @So that even the first agreement was not made without blood.

bbe@Hebrews:9:20 @Saying, This blood is the sign of the agreement which God has made with you

bbe@Hebrews:9:21 @And the blood was put on the Tent and all the holy vessels in the same way.

bbe@Hebrews:9:24 @For Christ did not go into a holy place which had been made by men's hands as the copy of the true one; but he went into heaven itself, and now takes his place before the face of God for us.

bbe@Hebrews:9:26 @For then he would have undergone a number of deaths from the time of the making of the world: but now he has come to us at the end of the old order, to put away sin by the offering of himself.

bbe@Hebrews:9:27 @And because by God's law death comes to men once, and after that they are judged;

bbe@Hebrews:9:28 @So Christ, having at his first coming taken on himself the sins of men, will be seen a second time, without sin, by those who are waiting for him, for their salvation.

bbe@Hebrews:10:1 @For the law, being only a poor copy of the future good things, and not the true image of those things, is never able to make the people who come to the altar every year with the same offerings completely clean.

bbe@Hebrews:10:3 @But year by year there is a memory of sins in those offerings.

bbe@Hebrews:10:5 @So that when he comes into the world, he says, You had no desire for offerings, but you made a body ready for me;

bbe@Hebrews:10:7 @Then I said, See, I have come to do your pleasure, O God (as it is said of me in the roll of the book).

bbe@Hebrews:10:9 @Then he said, See, I have come to do your pleasure

bbe@Hebrews:10:11 @And every priest takes his place at the altar day by day, doing what is necessary, and making again and again the same offerings which are never able to take away sins.

bbe@Hebrews:10:13 @And has been waiting there from that time, till all who are against him are made a foot-rest for his feet.

bbe@Hebrews:10:16 @This is the agreement which I will make with them after those days, says the Lord; I will put my laws in their hearts, writing them in their minds; he said,

bbe@Hebrews:10:17 @And I will keep no more memory of their sins and of their evil-doings.

bbe@Hebrews:10:24 @And let us be moving one another at all times to love and good works;

bbe@Hebrews:10:25 @Not giving up our meetings, as is the way of some, but keeping one another strong in faith; and all the more because you see the day coming near.

bbe@Hebrews:10:29 @But will not the man by whom the Son of God has been crushed under foot, and the blood of the agreement with which he was washed clean has been taken as an unholy thing, and who has had no respect for the Spirit of grace, be judged bad enough for a very much worse punishment?

bbe@Hebrews:10:30 @For we have had experience of him who says, Punishment is mine, I will give reward. And again, The Lord will be judge of his people.

bbe@Hebrews:10:37 @In a very little time he who is coming will come; he will not be slow.

bbe@Hebrews:11:4 @By faith Abel made a better offering to God than Cain, and he had witness through it of his righteousness, God giving his approval of his offering: and his voice still comes to us through it though he is dead.

bbe@Hebrews:11:6 @And without faith it is not possible to be well-pleasing to him, for it is necessary for anyone who comes to God to have the belief that God is, and that he is a rewarder of all those who make a serious search for him.

bbe@Hebrews:11:7 @By faith Noah, being moved by the fear of God, made ready an ark for the salvation of his family, because God had given him news of things which were not seen at the time; and through it the world was judged by him, and he got for his heritage the righteousness which is by faith.

bbe@Hebrews:11:9 @By faith he was a wanderer in the land of the agreement, as in a strange land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, who had a part with him in the same heritage:

bbe@Hebrews:11:12 @So that from one man, who was near to death, came children in number as the stars in heaven, or as the sand by the seaside, which may not be numbered.

bbe@Hebrews:11:13 @All these came to their end in faith, not having had the heritage; but having seen it with delight far away, they gave witness that they were wanderers and not of the earth.

bbe@Hebrews:11:16 @But now their desire is for a better country, that is to say, for one in heaven; and so it is no shame to God to be named their God; for he has made ready a town for them.

bbe@Hebrews:11:17 @By faith Abraham made an offering of Isaac, when he was tested: and he with whom the agreement had been made gave up as an offering the only son of his body,

bbe@Hebrews:11:18 @Of whom it had been said, From Isaac will your seed take their name:

bbe@Hebrews:11:20 @By faith Isaac, blessing Jacob and Esau, gave news of things to come.

bbe@Hebrews:11:24 @By faith Moses, when he became a man, had no desire to be named the son of Pharaoh's daughter;

bbe@Hebrews:11:25 @Feeling that it was better to undergo pain with the people of God, than for a short time to have a taste of the pleasures of sin;

bbe@Hebrews:11:26 @Judging a part in the shame of Christ to be better than all the wealth of Egypt; for he was looking forward to his reward.

bbe@Hebrews:11:29 @By faith they went through the Red Sea as if it had been dry land, though the Egyptians were overcome by the water when they made an attempt to do the same.

bbe@Hebrews:11:30 @By faith the walls of Jericho came down, after they had been circled for seven days.

bbe@Hebrews:11:32 @What more am I to say? For there would not be time to give the stories of Gideon, Barak, Samson, and Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets:

bbe@Hebrews:11:33 @Who through faith overcame kingdoms, did righteousness, got their reward, kept the mouths of lions shut,

bbe@Hebrews:11:34 @Put out the power of fire, got safely away from the edge of the sword, were made strong when they had been feeble, became full of power in war, and put to flight the armies of the nations.

bbe@Hebrews:11:35 @Women had their dead given back to them living; others let themselves be cruelly attacked, having no desire to go free, so that they might have a better life to come;

bbe@Hebrews:11:39 @And not one of these got the good things of the agreement, though they all had a good record through faith,

bbe@Hebrews:11:40 @Because God had kept some better thing for us, so that it was not possible for them to become complete without us.

bbe@Hebrews:12:1 @For this reason, as we are circled by so great a cloud of witnesses, putting off every weight, and the sin into which we come so readily, let us keep on running in the way which is marked out for us,

bbe@Hebrews:12:2 @Having our eyes fixed on Jesus, the guide and end of our faith, who went through the pains of the cross, not caring for the shame, because of the joy which was before him, and who has now taken his place at the right hand of God's seat of power.

bbe@Hebrews:12:5 @And you have not kept in mind the word which says to you as to sons, My son, do not make little of the Lord's punishment, and do not give up hope when you are judged by him;

bbe@Hebrews:12:6 @For the Lord sends punishment on his loved ones; everyone whom he takes as his son has experience of his rod.

bbe@Hebrews:12:7 @It is for your training that you undergo these things; God is acting to you as a father does to his sons; for what son does not have punishment from his father?

bbe@Hebrews:12:8 @But if you have not that punishment of which we all have our part, then you are not true sons, but children of shame.

bbe@Hebrews:12:9 @And again, if the fathers of our flesh gave us punishment and had our respect, how much more will we be under the authority of the Father of spirits, and have life?

bbe@Hebrews:12:10 @For they truly gave us punishment for a short time, as it seemed good to them; but he does it for our profit, so that we may become holy as he is.

bbe@Hebrews:12:11 @At the time all punishment seems to be pain and not joy: but after, those who have been trained by it get from it the peace-giving fruit of righteousness.

bbe@Hebrews:12:14 @Let your desire be for peace with all men, and to be made holy, without which no man may see the Lord;

bbe@Hebrews:12:15 @Looking with care to see that no man among you in his behaviour comes short of the grace of God; for fear that some bitter root may come up to be a trouble to you, and that some of you may be made unclean by it;

bbe@Hebrews:12:18 @You have not come to a mountain which may be touched, and is burning with fire, and to a black cloud, and a dark smoke, and a violent wind,

bbe@Hebrews:12:20 @For the order which said, If the mountain is touched even by a beast, the beast is to be stoned, seemed hard to them;

bbe@Hebrews:12:22 @But you have come to the mountain of Zion, to the place of the living God, to the Jerusalem which is in heaven, and to an army of angels which may not be numbered,

bbe@Hebrews:12:23 @To the great meeting and church of the first of those who are named in heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of good men made complete,

bbe@Hebrews:12:24 @And to Jesus by whom the new agreement has been made between God and man, and to the sign of the blood which says better things than Abel's blood.

bbe@Hebrews:12:25 @See that you give ear to his voice which comes to you. For if those whose ears were shut to the voice which came to them on earth did not go free from punishment, what chance have we of going free if we give no attention to him whose voice comes from heaven?

bbe@Hebrews:13:2 @Take care to keep open house: because in this way some have had angels as their guests, without being conscious of it.

bbe@Hebrews:13:4 @Let married life be honoured among all of you and not made unclean; for men untrue in married life will be judged by God.

bbe@Hebrews:13:5 @Be free from the love of money and pleased with the things which you have; for he himself has said, I will be with you at all times.

bbe@Hebrews:13:6 @So that we say with a good heart, The Lord is my helper; I will have no fear: what is man able to do to me?

bbe@Hebrews:13:7 @Keep in mind those who were over you, and who gave you the word of God; seeing the outcome of their way of life, let your faith be like theirs.

bbe@Hebrews:13:8 @Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and for ever.

bbe@Hebrews:13:9 @Do not be turned away by different strange teachings, because it is good for your hearts to be made strong by grace, and not by meats, which were of no profit to those who took so much trouble over them.

bbe@Hebrews:13:13 @Let us then go out to him outside the circle of the tents, taking his shame on ourselves.

bbe@Hebrews:13:14 @For here we have no fixed resting-place, but our search is for the one which is to come.

bbe@Hebrews:13:15 @Let us then make offerings of praise to God at all times through him, that is to say, the fruit of lips giving witness to his name

bbe@Hebrews:13:20 @Now may the God of peace, who made that great keeper of his flock, even our Lord Jesus, come back from the dead through the blood of the eternal agreement,

bbe@Hebrews:13:23 @Our brother Timothy has been let out of prison; and if he comes here in a short time, he and I will come to you together.

bbe@Hebrews:13:24 @Give words of love from me to those who are rulers over you, and to all the saints. Those who are in Italy send you their love.

bbe@James:1:1 @James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, sends words of love to the twelve tribes of the Jews living in all parts of the earth.

bbe@James:1:2 @Let it be all joy to you, my brothers, when you undergo tests of every sort;

bbe@James:1:3 @Because you have the knowledge that the testing of your faith gives you the power of going on in hope;

bbe@James:1:4 @But let this power have its full effect, so that you may be made complete, needing nothing.

bbe@James:1:5 @But if any man among you is without wisdom, let him make his request to God, who gives freely to all without an unkind word, and it will be given to him.

bbe@James:1:6 @Let him make his request in faith, doubting nothing; for he who has doubt in his heart is like the waves of the sea, which are troubled by the driving of the wind.

bbe@James:1:7 @Let it not seem to such a man that he will get anything from the Lord;

bbe@James:1:8 @For there is a division in his mind, and he is uncertain in all his ways.

bbe@James:1:9 @But let the brother of low position be glad that he is lifted up;

bbe@James:1:10 @But the man of wealth, that he is made low; because like the flower of the grass he will come to his end.

bbe@James:1:11 @For when the sun comes up with its burning heat, the grass gets dry and the grace of its form is gone with the falling flower; so the man of wealth comes to nothing in his ways.

bbe@James:1:12 @There is a blessing on the man who undergoes testing; because, if he has God's approval, he will be given the crown of life, which the Lord has said he will give to those who have love for him.

bbe@James:1:13 @Let no man say when he is tested, I am tested by God; for it is not possible for God to be tested by evil, and he himself puts no man to such a test:

bbe@James:1:14 @But every man is tested when he is turned out of the right way by the attraction of his desire.

bbe@James:1:15 @Then when its time comes, desire gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is of full growth, gives birth to death.

bbe@James:1:16 @Do not be turned from the right way, dear brothers.

bbe@James:1:17 @Every good and true thing is given to us from heaven, coming from the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or any shade made by turning.

bbe@James:1:18 @Of his purpose he gave us being, by his true word, so that we might be, in a sense, the first-fruits of all the things which he had made.

bbe@James:1:19 @You have knowledge of this, dear brothers. But let every man be quick in hearing, slow in words, slow to get angry;

bbe@James:1:20 @For the righteousness of God does not come about by the wrath of man.

bbe@James:1:21 @For this reason, putting away all dirty behaviour and the overweight of evil, take into your souls without pride the word which, being planted there, is able to give you salvation.

bbe@James:1:22 @But be doers of the word, and not only hearers of it, blinding yourselves with false ideas.

bbe@James:1:23 @Because if any man is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his natural face in a glass;

bbe@James:1:24 @For after looking at himself he goes away, and in a short time he has no memory of what he was like.

bbe@James:1:25 @But he who goes on looking into the true law which makes him free, being not a hearer without memory but a doer putting it into effect, this man will have a blessing on his acts.

bbe@James:1:26 @If a man seems to have religion and has no control over his tongue but lets himself be tricked by what is false, this man's religion is of no value.

bbe@James:1:27 @The religion which is holy and free from evil in the eyes of our God and Father is this: to take care of children who have no fathers and of widows who are in trouble, and to keep oneself untouched by the world.

bbe@James:2:1 @My brothers, if you have the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ of glory, do not take a man's position into account.

bbe@James:2:2 @For if a man comes into your Synagogue in fair clothing and with a gold ring, and a poor man comes in with dirty clothing,

bbe@James:2:3 @And you do honour to the man in fair clothing and say, Come here and take this good place; and you say to the poor man, Take up your position there, or be seated at my feet;

bbe@James:2:4 @Is there not a division in your minds? have you not become judges with evil thoughts?

bbe@James:2:5 @Give ear, my dear brothers; are not those who are poor in the things of this world marked out by God to have faith as their wealth, and for their heritage the kingdom which he has said he will give to those who have love for him?

bbe@James:2:6 @But you have put the poor man to shame. Are not the men of wealth rulers over you? do they not take you by force before their judges?

bbe@James:2:7 @Do they not say evil of the holy name which was given to you?

bbe@James:2:8 @But if you keep the greatest law of all, as it is given in the holy Writings, Have love for your neighbour as for yourself, you do well:

bbe@James:2:9 @But if you take a man's position into account, you do evil, and are judged as evil-doers by the law.

bbe@James:2:10 @For anyone who keeps all the law, but makes a slip in one point, is judged to have gone against it all.

bbe@James:2:11 @For he who said, Do not be untrue in married life, is the same who said, Put no man to death. Now if you are not untrue in married life, but you put a man to death, the law is broken.

bbe@James:2:12 @Let your words and your acts be those of men who are to be judged by the law which makes free.

bbe@James:2:13 @For the man who has had no mercy will be judged without mercy, but mercy takes pride in overcoming judging.

bbe@James:2:14 @What use is it, my brothers, for a man to say that he has faith, if he does nothing? will such a faith give him salvation?

bbe@James:2:15 @If a brother or a sister is without clothing and in need of the day's food,

bbe@James:2:16 @And one of you says to them, Go in peace, be warm and full of food; but you do not give them the things of which their bodies have need, what profit is there in this?

bbe@James:2:17 @Even so faith without works is dead.

bbe@James:2:18 @But a man may say, You have faith and I have works; let me see your faith without your works, and I will make my faith clear to you by my works.

bbe@James:2:19 @You have the belief that God is one, and you do well: the evil spirits have the same belief, shaking with fear.

bbe@James:2:20 @Do you not see, O foolish man, that faith without works is of no use?

bbe@James:2:21 @Was not the righteousness of Abraham our father judged by his works, when he made an offering of Isaac his son on the altar?

bbe@James:2:22 @You see that his faith was helping his works and was made complete by them;

bbe@James:2:23 @And the holy Writings were put into effect which said, And Abraham had faith in God and it was put to his account as righteousness; and he was named the friend of God.

bbe@James:2:24 @You see that a man's righteousness is judged by his works and not by his faith only.

bbe@James:2:25 @And in the same way, was not the righteousness of Rahab, the loose woman, judged by her works, when she took into her house those who were sent and let them go out by another way?

bbe@James:2:26 @For as the body without the spirit is dead even so faith without works is dead.

bbe@James:3:1 @Do not all be teachers, my brothers, because we teachers will be judged more hardly than others.

bbe@James:3:2 @For we all go wrong in a number of things. If a man never makes a slip in his talk, then he is a complete man and able to keep all his body in control.

bbe@James:3:3 @Now if we put bits of iron into horses' mouths so that they may be guided by us, we have complete control of their bodies.

bbe@James:3:4 @And again ships, though they are so great and are moved by violent winds, are turned by a very small guiding-blade, at the impulse of the man who is using it.

bbe@James:3:5 @Even so the tongue is a small part of the body, but it takes credit for great things. How much wood may be lighted by a very little fire!

bbe@James:3:6 @And the tongue is a fire; it is the power of evil placed in our bodies, making all the body unclean, putting the wheel of life on fire, and getting its fire from hell.

bbe@James:3:7 @For every sort of beast and bird and every living thing on earth and in the sea has been controlled by man and is under his authority;

bbe@James:3:8 @But the tongue may not be controlled by man; it is an unresting evil, it is full of the poison of death.

bbe@James:3:9 @With it we give praise to our Lord and Father; and with it we put a curse on men who are made in God's image.

bbe@James:3:10 @Out of the same mouth comes blessing and cursing

bbe@James:3:11 @Does the fountain send from the same outlet sweet and bitter water?

bbe@James:3:12 @Is a fig-tree able to give us olives, my brothers, or do we get figs from a vine, or sweet water from the salt sea?

bbe@James:3:13 @Who has wisdom and good sense among you? let him make his works clear by a life of gentle wisdom.

bbe@James:3:14 @But if you have bitter envy in your heart and the desire to get the better of others, have no pride in this, talking falsely against what is true.

bbe@James:3:15 @This wisdom is not from heaven, but is of the earth and the flesh and the Evil One.

bbe@James:3:16 @For where envy is, and the desire to get the better of others, there is no order, but every sort of evil-doing.

bbe@James:3:17 @But the wisdom which is from heaven is first holy, then gentle, readily giving way in argument, full of peace and mercy and good works, not doubting, not seeming other than it is.

bbe@James:3:18 @And the fruit of righteousness is planted in peace for those who make peace.

bbe@James:4:1 @What is the cause of wars and fighting among you? is it not in your desires which are at war in your bodies?

bbe@James:4:2 @You are burning with desire, and have not your desire, so you put men to death; you are full of envy, and you are not able to get your desire, so you are fighting and making war; you have not your desire, because you do not make request for it.

bbe@James:4:3 @You make your request but you do not get it, because your request has been wrongly made, desiring the thing only so that you may make use of it for your pleasure.

bbe@James:4:4 @O you who are false to God, do you not see that the friends of this world are not God's friends? Every man desiring to be a friend of this world makes himself a hater of God.

bbe@James:4:5 @Or does it seem to you that it is for nothing that the holy Writings say, The spirit which God put into our hearts has a strong desire for us?

bbe@James:4:6 @But he gives more grace. So that the Writings say, God is against the men of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low before him.

bbe@James:4:7 @For this cause be ruled by God; but make war on the Evil One and he will be put to flight before you.

bbe@James:4:8 @Come near to God and he will come near to you. Make your hands clean, you evil-doers; put away deceit from your hearts, you false in mind.

bbe@James:4:9 @Be troubled, with sorrow and weeping; let your laughing be turned to sorrow and your joy to grief.

bbe@James:4:10 @Make yourselves low in the eyes of the Lord and you will be lifted up by him

bbe@James:4:11 @Do not say evil against one another, my brothers. He who says evil against his brother or makes himself his brother's judge, says evil against the law and is judging the law: and in judging the law you become, not a doer of the law but a judge.

bbe@James:4:12 @There is only one judge and law-giver, even he who has the power of salvation and of destruction; but who are you to be your neighbour's judge?

bbe@James:4:13 @How foolish it is to say, Today or tomorrow we will go into this town, and be there for a year and do business there and get wealth:

bbe@James:4:14 @When you are not certain what will take place tomorrow. What is your life? It is a mist, which is seen for a little time and then is gone.

bbe@James:4:15 @But the right thing to say would be, If it is the Lord's pleasure and if we are still living, we will do this and that.

bbe@James:4:16 @But now you go on glorying in your pride: and all such glorying is evil.

bbe@James:4:17 @The man who has knowledge of how to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin.

bbe@James:5:1 @Come now, you men of wealth, give yourselves to weeping and crying because of the bitter troubles which are coming to you.

bbe@James:5:2 @Your wealth is unclean and insects have made holes in your clothing.

bbe@James:5:3 @Your gold and your silver are wasted and their waste will be a witness against you, burning into your flesh. You have put by your store in the last days.

bbe@James:5:4 @See, the money which you falsely kept back from the workers cutting the grass in your field, is crying out against you; and the cries of those who took in your grain have come to the ears of the Lord of armies.

bbe@James:5:5 @You have been living delicately on earth and have taken your pleasure; you have made your hearts fat for a day of destruction.

bbe@James:5:6 @You have given your decision against the upright man and have put him to death. He puts up no fight against you.

bbe@James:5:7 @Go on waiting calmly, my brothers, till the coming of the Lord, like the farmer waiting for the good fruit of the earth till the early and late rains have come.

bbe@James:5:8 @Be as calm in your waiting; let your hearts be strong: because the coming of the Lord is near.

bbe@James:5:9 @Say no hard things against one another, brothers, so that you will not be judged; see, the judge is waiting at the doors.

bbe@James:5:10 @Take as an example of pain nobly undergone and of strength in trouble, the prophets who gave to men the words of the Lord.

bbe@James:5:11 @We say that those men who have gone through pain are happy: you have the story of Job and the troubles through which he went and have seen that the Lord was full of pity and mercy in the end.

bbe@James:5:12 @But most of all, my brothers, do not take oaths, not by the heaven, or by the earth, or by any other thing: but let your Yes be Yes, and your No be No: so that you may not be judged

bbe@James:5:13 @Is anyone among you in trouble? let him say prayers. Is anyone glad? let him make a song of praise.

bbe@James:5:14 @Is anyone among you ill? let him send for the rulers of the church; and let them say prayers over him, putting oil on him in the name of the Lord.

bbe@James:5:15 @And by the prayer of faith the man who is ill will be made well, and he will be lifted up by the Lord, and for any sin which he has done he will have forgiveness.

bbe@James:5:16 @So then, make a statement of your sins to one another, and say prayers for one another so that you may be made well. The prayer of a good man is full of power in its working.

bbe@James:5:17 @Elijah was a man of flesh and blood as we are, and he made a strong prayer that there might be no rain; and there was no rain on the earth for three years and six months.

bbe@James:5:18 @And he made another prayer, and the heaven sent down rain and the earth gave her fruit.

bbe@James:5:19 @My brothers, if one of you has gone out of the way of the true faith and another has made him see his error,

bbe@James:5:20 @Be certain that he through whom a sinner has been turned from the error of his way, keeps a soul from death and is the cause of forgiveness for sins without number.

bbe@1Peter:1:2 @Who, through the purpose of God, have been made holy by the Spirit, disciples of Jesus, made clean by his blood: May you have grace and peace in full measure.

bbe@1Peter:1:3 @Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who through his great mercy has given us a new birth and a living hope by the coming again of Jesus Christ from the dead,

bbe@1Peter:1:6 @You have cause for great joy in this, though it may have been necessary for you to be troubled for a little time, being tested in all sorts of ways,

bbe@1Peter:1:7 @So that the true metal of your faith, being of much greater value than gold (which, though it comes to an end, is tested by fire), may come to light in praise and glory and honour, at the revelation of Jesus Christ:

bbe@1Peter:1:10 @For the prophets who gave the news of the grace which would come to you, made search with all care for knowledge of this salvation;

bbe@1Peter:1:11 @Attempting to see what sort of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them was pointing to, when it gave witness to the pains which Christ would undergo and the glories which would come after them.

bbe@1Peter:1:12 @And it was made clear to those prophets that they were God's servants not for themselves but for you, to give you word of the things which have now come to your ears from the preachers of the good news through the Holy Spirit sent down from heaven; things which even angels have a desire to see.

bbe@1Peter:1:13 @So make your minds ready, and keep on the watch, hoping with all your power for the grace which is to come to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

bbe@1Peter:1:14 @Like children ruled by God, do not go back to the old desires of the time when you were without knowledge:

bbe@1Peter:1:17 @And if you give the name of Father to him who, judging every man by his acts, has no respect for a man's position, then go in fear while you are on this earth:

bbe@1Peter:1:18 @Being conscious that you have been made free from that foolish way of life which was your heritage from your fathers, not through a payment of things like silver or gold which come to destruction,

bbe@1Peter:1:20 @Who was marked out by God before the making of the world, but was caused to be seen in these last times for you,

bbe@1Peter:1:24 @For it is said, All flesh is like grass, and all its glory like the flower of the grass. The grass becomes dry and the flower dead:

bbe@1Peter:2:4 @To whom you come, as to a living stone, not honoured by men, but of great and special value to God;

bbe@1Peter:2:6 @Because it is said in the Writings, See, I am placing a keystone in Zion, of great and special value; and the man who has faith in him will not be put to shame.

bbe@1Peter:2:10 @In the past you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; then there was no mercy for you, but now mercy has been given to you.

bbe@1Peter:2:12 @Being of good behaviour among the Gentiles; so that though they say now that you are evil-doers, they may see your good works and give glory to God when he comes to be their judge.

bbe@1Peter:2:13 @Keep all the laws of men because of the Lord; those of the king, who is over all,

bbe@1Peter:2:14 @And those of the rulers who are sent by him for the punishment of evil-doers and for the praise of those who do well.

bbe@1Peter:2:15 @Because it is God's pleasure that foolish and narrow-minded men may be put to shame by your good behaviour:

bbe@1Peter:2:19 @For it is a sign of grace if a man, desiring to do right in the eyes of God, undergoes pain as punishment for something which he has not done.

bbe@1Peter:2:20 @What credit is it if, when you have done evil, you take your punishment quietly? but if you are given punishment for doing right, and take it quietly, this is pleasing to God.

bbe@1Peter:2:21 @This is God's purpose for you: because Jesus himself underwent punishment for you, giving you an example, so that you might go in his footsteps:

bbe@1Peter:2:23 @To sharp words he gave no sharp answer; when he was undergoing pain, no angry word came from his lips; but he put himself into the hands of the judge of righteousness:

bbe@1Peter:2:25 @Because, like sheep, you had gone out of the way; but now you have come back to him who keeps watch over your souls.

bbe@1Peter:3:1 @Wives, be ruled by your husbands; so that even if some of them give no attention to the word, their hearts may be changed by the behaviour of their wives,

bbe@1Peter:3:3 @Do not let your ornaments be those of the body such as dressing of the hair, or putting on of jewels of gold or fair clothing;

bbe@1Peter:3:4 @But let them be those of the unseen man of the heart, the ever-shining ornament of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great price in the eyes of God.

bbe@1Peter:3:5 @And these were the ornaments of the holy women of the past, whose hope was in God, being ruled by their husbands:

bbe@1Peter:3:8 @Last of all, see that you are all in agreement; feeling for one another, loving one another like brothers, full of pity, without pride:

bbe@1Peter:3:15 @But give honour to Christ in your hearts as your Lord; and be ready at any time when you are questioned about the hope which is in you, to give an answer in the fear of the Lord and without pride;

bbe@1Peter:3:16 @Being conscious that you have done no wrong; so that those who say evil things about your good way of life as Christians may be put to shame.

bbe@1Peter:3:18 @Because Christ once went through pain for sins, the upright one taking the place of sinners, so that through him we might come back to God; being put to death in the flesh, but given life in the Spirit;

bbe@1Peter:3:20 @Who, in the days of Noah, went against God's orders; but God in his mercy kept back the punishment, while Noah got ready the ark, in which a small number, that is to say eight persons, got salvation through water:

bbe@1Peter:4:1 @So that as Jesus was put to death in the flesh, do you yourselves be of the same mind; for the death of the flesh puts an end to sin;

bbe@1Peter:4:2 @So that you may give the rest of your lives in the flesh, not to the desires of men, but to the purpose of God.

bbe@1Peter:4:3 @Because for long enough, in times past, we have been living after the way of the Gentiles, given up to the desires of the flesh, to drinking and feasting and loose behaviour and unclean worship of images;

bbe@1Peter:4:6 @For this was the reason why the good news of Jesus was given even to the dead, so that they might be judged as men in the flesh, but might be living before God in the spirit.

bbe@1Peter:4:10 @Making distribution among one another of whatever has been given to you, like true servants of the unmeasured grace of God;

bbe@1Peter:4:12 @Dear brothers, do not be surprised, as if it was something strange, if your faith is tested as by fire:

bbe@1Peter:4:14 @If men say evil things of you because of the name of Christ, happy are you; for the Spirit of glory and of God is resting on you.

bbe@1Peter:4:15 @Let no one among you undergo punishment as a taker of life, or as a thief, or as an evil-doer, or as one who is over-interested in other men's business;

bbe@1Peter:4:16 @But if he undergoes punishment as a Christian, that is no shame to him; let him give glory to God in this name.

bbe@1Peter:4:17 @For the time has come for the judging, starting with the church of God; but if it makes a start with us, what will be the end of those who are not under the rule of God?

bbe@1Peter:4:19 @For this reason let those who by the purpose of God undergo punishment, keep on in well-doing and put their souls into the safe hands of their Maker.

bbe@1Peter:5:1 @I who am myself one of the rulers of the church, and a witness of the death of Christ, having my part in the coming glory, send this serious request to the chief men among you:

bbe@1Peter:5:5 @And in the same way, let the younger men be ruled by the older ones. Let all of you put away pride and make yourselves ready to be servants: for God is a hater of pride, but he gives grace to those who make themselves low.

bbe@1Peter:5:6 @For this cause make yourselves low under the strong hand of God, so that when the time comes you may be lifted up;

bbe@1Peter:5:9 @Do not give way to him but be strong in your faith, in the knowledge that your brothers who are in the world undergo the same troubles.

bbe@1Peter:5:10 @And after you have undergone pain for a little time, the God of all grace who has given you a part in his eternal glory through Christ Jesus, will himself give you strength and support, and make you complete in every good thing;

bbe@2Peter:1:1 @Simon Peter, a servant and Apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who with us have a part in the same holy faith in the righteousness of our God and Saviour Jesus Christ:

bbe@2Peter:1:8 @For if you have these things in good measure, they will make you fertile and full of fruit in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@2Peter:1:9 @For the man who has not these things is blind, seeing only what is near, having no memory of how he was made clean from his old sins.

bbe@2Peter:1:12 @For this reason I will be ready at all times to keep your memory of these things awake, though you have the knowledge of them now and are well based in your present faith.

bbe@2Peter:1:13 @And it seems right to me, as long as I am in this tent of flesh, to keep your minds awake by working on your memory;

bbe@2Peter:1:14 @For I am conscious that in a short time I will have to put off this tent of flesh, as our Lord Jesus Christ has made clear to me.

bbe@2Peter:1:15 @And I will take every care so that you may have a clear memory of these things after my death.

bbe@2Peter:1:17 @For God the Father gave him honour and glory, when such a voice came to him out of the great glory, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.

bbe@2Peter:1:18 @And this voice came from heaven even to our ears, when we were with him on the holy mountain.

bbe@2Peter:1:19 @And so the words of the prophets are made more certain; and it is well for you to give attention to them as to a light shining in a dark place, till the dawn comes and the morning star is seen in your hearts;

bbe@2Peter:1:21 @For these words did not ever come through the impulse of men: but the prophets had them from God, being moved by the Holy Spirit.

bbe@2Peter:2:1 @But there were false prophets among the people, as there will be false teachers among you, who will secretly put forward wrong teachings for your destruction, even turning away from the Lord who gave himself for them; whose destruction will come quickly, and they themselves will be the cause of it.

bbe@2Peter:2:2 @And a great number will go with them in their evil ways, through whom the true way will have a bad name.

bbe@2Peter:2:3 @And in their desire for profit they will come to you with words of deceit, like traders doing business in souls: whose punishment has been ready for a long time and their destruction is watching for them.

bbe@2Peter:2:5 @And did not have mercy on the world which then was, but only kept safe Noah, a preacher of righteousness, with seven others, when he let loose the waters over the world of the evil-doers;

bbe@2Peter:2:8 @(Because the soul of that upright man living among them was pained from day to day by seeing and hearing their crimes):

bbe@2Peter:2:9 @The Lord is able to keep the upright safe in the time of testing, and to keep evil-doers under punishment till the day of judging;

bbe@2Peter:2:12 @But these men, like beasts without reason, whose natural use is to be taken and put to death, crying out against things of which they have no knowledge, will undergo that same destruction which they are designing for others;

bbe@2Peter:2:13 @For the evil which overtakes them is the reward of their evil-doing: such men take their pleasure in the delights of the flesh even in the daytime; they are like the marks of a disease, like poisoned wounds among you, feasting together with you in joy;

bbe@2Peter:2:15 @Turning out of the true way, they have gone wandering in error, after the way of Balaam, the son of Beor, who was pleased to take payment for wrongdoing;

bbe@2Peter:2:20 @For if, after they have got free from the unclean things of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they are again taken in the net and overcome, their last condition is worse than their first.

bbe@2Peter:3:3 @Having first of all the knowledge that in the last days there will be men who, ruled by their evil desires, will make sport of holy things,

bbe@2Peter:3:5 @But in taking this view they put out of their minds the memory that in the old days there was a heaven, and an earth lifted out of the water and circled by water, by the word of God;

bbe@2Peter:3:6 @And that the world which then was came to an end through the overflowing of the waters.

bbe@2Peter:3:7 @But the present heaven and the present earth have been kept for destruction by fire, which is waiting for them on the day of the judging and destruction of evil men.

bbe@2Peter:3:8 @But, my loved ones, keep in mind this one thing, that with the Lord one day is the same as a thousand years, and a thousand years are no more than one day.

bbe@2Peter:3:9 @The Lord is not slow in keeping his word, as he seems to some, but he is waiting in mercy for you, not desiring the destruction of any, but that all may be turned from their evil ways.

bbe@2Peter:3:10 @But the day of the Lord will come like a thief; and in that day the heavens will be rolled up with a great noise, and the substance of the earth will be changed by violent heat, and the world and everything in it will be burned up

bbe@2Peter:3:12 @Looking for and truly desiring the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will come to an end through fire, and the substance of the earth will be changed by the great heat?

bbe@2Peter:3:14 @For this reason, my loved ones, as you are looking for these things, take great care that when he comes you may be in peace before him, free from sin and every evil thing.

bbe@2Peter:3:16 @And as he said in all his letters, which had to do with these things; in which are some hard sayings, so that, like the rest of the holy Writings, they are twisted by those who are uncertain and without knowledge, to the destruction of their souls.

bbe@1John:1:1 @That which was from the first, which has come to our ears, and which we have seen with our eyes, looking on it and touching it with our hands, about the Word of life

bbe@1John:1:3 @We give you word of all we have seen and everything which has come to our ears, so that you may be united with us; and we are united with the Father and with his Son Jesus Christ:

bbe@1John:1:5 @This is the word which came to us from him and which we give to you, that God is light and in him there is nothing dark.

bbe@1John:2:7 @My loved ones, I do not give you a new law, but an old law which you had from the first; this old law is the word which came to your ears.

bbe@1John:2:12 @I am writing to you, my children, because you have forgiveness of sins through his name.

bbe@1John:2:13 @I am writing to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I am writing to you, young men, because you have overcome the Evil One. I have sent a letter to you, children, because you have knowledge of the Father.

bbe@1John:2:14 @I have sent a letter to you, fathers, because you have knowledge of him who was from the first. I have sent a letter to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God is in you, and because you have overcome the Evil One.

bbe@1John:2:18 @Little children, it is the last hour; and as you were given word that the Antichrist would come, so now a number of Antichrists have come to you; and by this we are certain that it is the last hour.

bbe@1John:2:28 @And now, my children, keep your hearts in him; so that at his revelation, we may have no fear or shame before him at his coming.

bbe@1John:3:5 @And you have knowledge that he came to take away sin: and in him there is no sin.

bbe@1John:3:14 @We are conscious that we have come out of death into life because of our love for the brothers. He who has no love is still in death.

bbe@1John:3:23 @And this is his law, that we have faith in the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love for one another, even as he said to us.

bbe@1John:4:2 @By this you may have knowledge of the Spirit of God: every spirit which says that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God:

bbe@1John:4:4 @You are of God, my little children, and you have overcome them because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

bbe@1John:4:21 @And this is the word which we have from him, that he who has love for God is to have the same love for his brother.

bbe@1John:5:4 @Anything which comes from God is able to overcome the world: and the power by which we have overcome the world is our faith.

bbe@1John:5:5 @Who is able to overcome the world but the man who has faith that Jesus is the Son of God?

bbe@1John:5:6 @This is he who came by water and by blood, Jesus Christ; not by water only but by water and by blood.

bbe@1John:5:8 @There are three witnesses, the Spirit, the water, and the blood: and all three are in agreement.

bbe@1John:5:9 @If we take the witness of men to be true, the witness of God is greater: because this is the witness which God has given about his Son.

bbe@1John:5:13 @I have put these things in writing for you who have faith in the name of the Son of God, so that you may be certain that you have eternal life.

bbe@1John:5:16 @If a man sees his brother doing a sin which is not bad enough for death, let him make a prayer to God, and God will give life to him whose sin was not bad enough for death. There is a sin whose punishment is death: I do not say that he may make such a request then.

bbe@1John:5:17 @All evil-doing is sin: but death is not the punishment for every sort of sin.

bbe@1John:5:20 @And we are certain that the Son of God has come, and has given us a clear vision, so that we may see him who is true, and we are in him who is true, in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

bbe@2John:1:3 @May grace, mercy, and peace be with us from God the Father, and from Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in all true love.

bbe@2John:1:4 @It gave me great joy to see some of your children walking in the true way, even as we were ordered to do by the Father.

bbe@2John:1:7 @Because a number of false teachers have gone out into the world, who do not give witness that Jesus Christ came in the flesh. Such a one is a false teacher and Antichrist.

bbe@2John:1:10 @If anyone comes to you not having this teaching, do not take him into your house or give him words of love:

bbe@2John:1:12 @Having much to say to you, it is not my purpose to put it all down with paper and ink: but I am hoping to come to you, and to have talk with you face to face, so that your joy may be full.

bbe@3John:1:3 @For it gave me great joy when some of the brothers came and gave witness that you had the true faith and were walking in the true way.

bbe@3John:1:5 @My loved one, you are doing a good work in being kind to those brothers who come from other places;

bbe@3John:1:7 @For they went out for love of the Name, taking nothing from the Gentiles.

bbe@3John:1:8 @So it is right for us to take in such men as guests, so that we may take our part in the work of the true faith.

bbe@3John:1:10 @So if I come, I will keep in mind the things he does, talking against us with evil words: and as if this was not enough, he does not take the brothers into his house, and those who are ready to take them in, he keeps from doing so, putting them out of the church if they do.

bbe@3John:1:12 @Demetrius has the approval of all men and of what is true: and we give the same witness, and you are certain that our witness is true.

bbe@3John:1:14 @But I am hoping to see you in a short time, and to have talk with you face to face.

bbe@Jude:1:1 @Jude, a servant of Jesus Christ and the brother of James, to those of God's selection who have been made holy by God the Father and are kept safe for Jesus Christ:

bbe@Jude:1:2 @May mercy and peace and love be increased in you.

bbe@Jude:1:3 @My loved ones, while my thoughts were full of a letter which I was going to send you about our common salvation, it was necessary for me to send you one requesting you with all my heart to go on fighting strongly for the faith which has been given to the saints once and for ever.

bbe@Jude:1:4 @For certain men have come among you secretly, marked out before in the holy Writings for this evil fate, men without the fear of God, turning his grace into an unclean thing, and false to our only Master and Lord, Jesus Christ.

bbe@Jude:1:7 @Even as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the towns near them, having like these, given themselves up to unclean desires and gone after strange flesh, have been made an example, undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.

bbe@Jude:1:8 @In the same way these dreamers make the flesh unclean, having no respect for authorities, and say evil of rulers.

bbe@Jude:1:10 @But these men say evil about such things as they have no knowledge of; and the things of which they have natural knowledge, like beasts without reason, are the cause of their destruction.

bbe@Jude:1:11 @A curse on them! They have gone in the way of Cain, running uncontrolled into the error of Balaam for reward, and have come to destruction by saying evil against the Lord, like Korah.

bbe@Jude:1:12 @These men are unseen rocks at your love-feasts, when they take part in them with you, keepers of sheep who without fear take the food of the sheep; clouds without water rushing before the wind, wasted trees without fruit, twice dead, pulled up by the roots,

bbe@Jude:1:13 @Violent waves of the sea, streaming with their shame, wandering stars for whom the darkest night is kept in store for ever.

bbe@Jude:1:14 @The prophet Enoch, who was the seventh after Adam, said of these men, The Lord came with tens of thousands of his saints,

bbe@Jude:1:16 @These are the men who make trouble, ever desiring change, going after evil pleasures, using high-sounding words, respecting men's position in the hope of reward.

bbe@Jude:1:17 @But you, my loved ones, keep in memory the words which were said before by the Apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ,

bbe@Jude:1:18 @How they said to you, In the last days there will be men who, guided by their evil desires, will make sport of holy things.

bbe@Jude:1:19 @These are the men who make divisions, natural men, not having the Spirit.

bbe@Jude:1:21 @Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for life eternal through the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ.

bbe@Jude:1:23 @And to some give salvation, pulling them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the clothing which is made unclean by the flesh.

bbe@Jude:1:25 @To the only God our Saviour, through Jesus Christ our Lord, let us give glory and honour and authority and power, before all time and now and for ever. So be it.

bbe@Revelation:1:3 @A blessing be on the reader, and on those who give ear to the prophet's words, and keep the things which he has put in the book: for the time is near.

bbe@Revelation:1:4 @John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace, from him who is and was and is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his high seat;

bbe@Revelation:1:5 @And from Jesus Christ, the true witness, the first to come back from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who had love for us and has made us clean from our sins by his blood;

bbe@Revelation:1:7 @See, he comes with the clouds, and every eye will see him, and those by whom he was wounded; and all the tribes of the earth will be sorrowing because of him. Yes, so be it.

bbe@Revelation:1:8 @I am the First and the Last, says the Lord God who is and was and is to come, the Ruler of all.

bbe@Revelation:1:9 @I, John, your brother, who have a part with you in the trouble and the kingdom and the quiet strength of Jesus, was in the island which is named Patmos, for the word of God and the witness of Jesus.

bbe@Revelation:1:10 @I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and a great voice at my back, as of a horn, came to my ears,

bbe@Revelation:1:12 @And turning to see the voice which said these words to me, I saw seven gold vessels with lights burning in them;

bbe@Revelation:1:14 @And his head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

bbe@Revelation:1:16 @And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword: and his face was like the sun shining in its strength.

bbe@Revelation:1:17 @And when I saw him, I went down on my face at his feet as one dead. And he put his right hand on me, saying, Have no fear; I am the first and the last and the Living one;

bbe@Revelation:2:2 @I have knowledge of your doings, and of your hard work and long waiting, and that you will not put up with evil men, and have put to the test those who say they are Apostles and are not, and have seen that they are false;

bbe@Revelation:2:3 @And you have the power of waiting, and have undergone trouble because of my name, without weariness.

bbe@Revelation:2:5 @So keep in mind where you were at first, and be changed in heart and do the first works; or I will come to you, and will take away your light from its place, if your hearts are not changed.

bbe@Revelation:2:7 @He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the fruit of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.

bbe@Revelation:2:10 @Have no fear of the things which you will have to undergo: see, the Evil One will send some of you into prison, so that you may be put to the test; and you will have great trouble for ten days. Be true till death, and I will give you the crown of life.

bbe@Revelation:2:11 @He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes will not come under the power of the second death.

bbe@Revelation:2:13 @I have knowledge that your living-place is where Satan has his seat: and you are true to my name, and were not turned away from your faith in me, even in the days of Antipas, my true witness, who was put to death among you, where Satan has his place.

bbe@Revelation:2:14 @But I have some things against you, because you have with you those who keep the teaching of Balaam, by whose suggestion Balak made the children of Israel go out of the right way, taking food which was offered to false gods, and going after the desires of the flesh.

bbe@Revelation:2:16 @See, then, that you have a change of heart; or I will come to you quickly, and will make war against them with the sword of my mouth.

bbe@Revelation:2:17 @He who has ears, let him give ear to what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give of the secret manna, and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name, of which no one has knowledge but he to whom it is given.

bbe@Revelation:2:18 @And to the angel of the church in Thyatira say: These things says the Son of God, whose eyes are like a flame of fire, and his feet like polished brass:

bbe@Revelation:2:21 @And I gave her time for a change of heart, but she has no mind to give up her unclean ways.

bbe@Revelation:2:23 @And I will put her children to death; and all the churches will see that I am he who makes search into the secret thoughts and hearts of men: and I will give to every one of you the reward of your works.

bbe@Revelation:2:25 @But what you have, keep safe till I come.

bbe@Revelation:2:26 @He who overcomes, and keeps my works to the end, to him I will give rule over the nations,

bbe@Revelation:3:2 @Be on the watch, and make strong the rest of the things which are near to death; because as judged by me your works have not come up to God's measure.

bbe@Revelation:3:3 @Keep in mind, then, the teaching which was given to you, and be ruled by it and have a change of heart. If then you do not keep watch, I will come like a thief, and you will have no knowledge of the hour when I will come on you.

bbe@Revelation:3:4 @But you have some names in Sardis who have kept clean their robes; and as a reward they will go in white with me.

bbe@Revelation:3:5 @He who overcomes will be dressed in white, and I will not take his name from the book of life, and I will give witness to his name before my Father, and before his angels.

bbe@Revelation:3:8 @I have knowledge of your works (see, I have put before you an open door which may be shut by no one), and that you have a little strength, and have kept my word, and have been true to my name.

bbe@Revelation:3:9 @See, I will make those of the Synagogue of Satan who say they are Jews, and are not, but say what is false; I will make them come and give worship before your feet, and see my love for you.

bbe@Revelation:3:11 @I come quickly: keep that which you have, so that no one may take your crown.

bbe@Revelation:3:12 @Him who overcomes I will make a pillar in the house of my God, and he will go out no more: and I will put on him the name of my God, and the name of the town of my God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from my God, and my new name.

bbe@Revelation:3:18 @If you are wise you will get from me gold tested by fire, so that you may have true wealth; and white robes to put on, so that your shame may not be seen; and oil for your eyes, so that you may see.

bbe@Revelation:3:19 @To all those who are dear to me, I give sharp words and punishment: then with all your heart have sorrow for your evil ways.

bbe@Revelation:3:20 @See, I am waiting at the door and giving the sign; if my voice comes to any man's ears and he makes the door open, I will come in to him, and will take food with him and he with me.

bbe@Revelation:3:21 @To him who overcomes I will give a place with me on my high seat, even as I overcame, and am seated with my Father on his high seat.

bbe@Revelation:4:1 @After these things I saw a door open in heaven, and the first voice came to my ears, like the sound of a horn, saying, Come up here, and I will make clear to you the things which are to come.

bbe@Revelation:4:3 @And to my eyes he was like a jasper and a sardius stone: and there was an arch of light round the high seat, like an emerald.

bbe@Revelation:4:5 @And out of the high seat came flames and voices and thunders. And seven lights of fire were burning before the high seat, which are the seven Spirits of God;

bbe@Revelation:4:6 @And before the high seat there was, as it seemed, a clear sea of glass; and in the middle of the high seat, and round about it, four beasts full of eyes round about.

bbe@Revelation:4:8 @And the four beasts, having every one of them six wings, are full of eyes round about and inside: and without resting day and night, they say, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God, Ruler of all, who was and is and is to come.

bbe@Revelation:4:11 @It is right, our Lord and our God, for you to have glory and honour and power: because by you were all things made, and by your desire they came into being.

bbe@Revelation:5:5 @And one of the rulers said to me, Do not be sad: see, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome, and has power to undo the book and its seven stamps.

bbe@Revelation:5:6 @And I saw in the middle of the high seat and of the four beasts, and in the middle of the rulers, a Lamb in his place, which seemed as if it had been put to death, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth.

bbe@Revelation:5:7 @And he came and took it out of the right hand of him who was seated on the high seat.

bbe@Revelation:5:8 @And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and the four and twenty rulers went down on their faces before the Lamb, having every one an instrument of music, and gold vessels full of perfumes, which are the prayers of the saints.

bbe@Revelation:5:9 @And their voices are sounding in a new song, saying, It is right for you to take the book and to make it open: for you were put to death and have made an offering to God of your blood for men of every tribe, and language, and people, and nation,

bbe@Revelation:5:11 @And I saw, and there came to my ears the sound of a great number of angels round about the high seat and the beasts and the rulers; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands;

bbe@Revelation:5:13 @And to my ears came the voice of everything in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea, and of all things which are in them, saying, To him who is seated on the high seat, and to the Lamb, may blessing and honour and glory and power be given for ever and ever.

bbe@Revelation:6:1 @And I saw when the Lamb undid one of the stamps, and the voice of one of the four beasts came to my ears, saying as with a voice of thunder, Come and see.

bbe@Revelation:6:2 @And I saw a white horse, and he who was seated on it had a bow; and there was given to him a crown: and he went out with power to overcome.

bbe@Revelation:6:3 @And when the second stamp was undone, the voice of the second beast came to my ears, saying, Come and see.

bbe@Revelation:6:4 @And another horse came out, a red horse; and it was given to him who was seated on it to take peace from the earth, so that people might put one another to death: and there was given to him a great sword.

bbe@Revelation:6:5 @And when the third stamp was undone, the voice of the third beast came to my ears, saying, Come and see. And I saw a black horse; and he who was seated on it had scales in his hand.

bbe@Revelation:6:6 @And a voice came to my ears, from the middle of the four beasts, saying, A measure of grain for a penny, and three measures of barley for a penny: and see that you do no damage to the oil and the wine.

bbe@Revelation:6:7 @And when the fourth stamp was undone, the voice of the fourth beast came to my ears, saying, Come and see.

bbe@Revelation:6:8 @And I saw a grey horse, and the name of him who was seated on it was Death; and Hell came after him. And there was given to them authority over the fourth part of the earth, to put to destruction by the sword, and by taking away their food, and by death, and by the beasts of the earth.

bbe@Revelation:6:10 @And they gave a great cry, saying, How long will it be, O Ruler, holy and true, before you take your place as judge and give punishment for our blood to those on the earth?

bbe@Revelation:6:11 @And there was given to every one a white robe, and they were ordered to take their rest for a little time, till the number was complete of the other servants, their brothers, who would be put to death, even as they had been.

bbe@Revelation:6:12 @And I saw when the sixth stamp was undone, and there was a great earth-shock; and the sun became black as haircloth, and all the moon became as blood;

bbe@Revelation:6:15 @And the kings of the earth, and the rulers, and the chief captains, and the men of wealth, and the strong, and every servant and free man, took cover in the holes and the rocks of the mountains;

bbe@Revelation:6:16 @And they say to the mountains and to the rocks, Come down on us, covering us from the face of him who is seated on the high seat, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

bbe@Revelation:6:17 @For the great day of their wrath is come, and who may keep his place?

bbe@Revelation:7:4 @And there came to my ears the number of those who had the mark on their brows, a hundred and forty-four thousand, who were marked out of every tribe of the people of Israel.

bbe@Revelation:7:7 @Of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand: of the tribe of Levi twelve thousand: of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand:

bbe@Revelation:7:13 @And one of the rulers made answer, saying to me, These who have on white robes, who are they, and where did they come from?

bbe@Revelation:7:14 @And I said to him, My lord, you have knowledge. And he said to me, These are they who came through the great testing, and their robes have been washed and made white in the blood of the Lamb.

bbe@Revelation:8:3 @And another angel came and took his place at the altar, having a gold vessel for burning perfume; and there was given to him much perfume, so that he might put it with the prayers of all the saints on the gold altar which was before the high seat.

bbe@Revelation:8:4 @And the smoke of the perfume, with the prayers of the saints, went up before God out of the angel's hand.

bbe@Revelation:8:5 @And the angel took the vessel; and he made it full of the fire of the altar, and sent it down on the earth: and there came thunders and voices and flames and a shaking of the earth.

bbe@Revelation:8:8 @And at the sounding of the second angel, it was as if a great mountain burning with fire was sent into the sea: and a third part of the sea became blood,

bbe@Revelation:8:9 @And destruction came on a third part of the living things which were in the sea, and on a third part of the ships.

bbe@Revelation:8:10 @And at the sounding of the third angel, there went down from heaven a great star, burning like a flame, and it came on a third part of the rivers, and on the fountains of water.

bbe@Revelation:8:11 @And the name of the star is Wormwood: and a third part of the waters became bitter; and a number of men came to their end because of the waters, for they were made bitter.

bbe@Revelation:8:13 @And there came to my ears the cry of an eagle in flight in the middle of heaven, saying with a great voice, Trouble, trouble, trouble, to all on the earth, because of the other voices of the horns of the three angels, whose sounding is still to come.

bbe@Revelation:9:3 @And from the smoke locusts came out on the earth; and power was given them, like the power of scorpions.

bbe@Revelation:9:4 @And they were ordered to do no damage to the grass of the earth, or any green thing, or any tree, but only to such men as have not the mark of God on their brows.

bbe@Revelation:9:6 @And in those days men will be hoping for death, and it will not come to them; and they will have a great desire for death, and death will go in flight from them.

bbe@Revelation:9:7 @And the forms of the locusts were like horses made ready for war; and on their heads they had crowns like gold, and their faces were as the faces of men.

bbe@Revelation:9:8 @And they had hair like the hair of women, and their teeth were as the teeth of lions.

bbe@Revelation:9:10 @And they have pointed tails like scorpions; and in their tails is their power to give men wounds for five months.

bbe@Revelation:9:11 @They have over them as king the angel of the great deep: his name in Hebrew is Abaddon, and in the Greek language Apollyon.

bbe@Revelation:9:12 @The first Trouble is past: see, there are still two Troubles to come.

bbe@Revelation:9:13 @And at the sounding of the sixth angel a voice came to my ears from the horns of the gold altar which is before God,

bbe@Revelation:9:15 @And the four angels were made free, who were ready for the hour and day and month and year, that they might put to death a third part of men.

bbe@Revelation:9:16 @And the number of the armies of the horsemen was twice ten thousand times ten thousand: the number of them came to my ears.

bbe@Revelation:9:17 @And so I saw the horses in the vision, and those who were seated on them, having breastplates of fire and glass and of burning stone: and the heads of the horses were as the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire and smoke and a smell of burning.

bbe@Revelation:9:18 @By these evils a third part of men was put to death, by the fire, and the smoke, and the burning smell which came out of their mouths.

bbe@Revelation:9:21 @And they had no regret for putting men to death, or for their use of secret arts, or for the evil desires of the flesh, or for taking the property of others.

bbe@Revelation:10:4 @And when the seven thunders had given out their voices, I was about to put their words down: and a voice from heaven came to my ears, saying, Keep secret the things which the seven thunders said, and do not put them in writing.

bbe@Revelation:10:7 @But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when the sound of his horn is about to come, then will the secret of God be complete, of which he gave the good news to his servants the prophets.

bbe@Revelation:10:8 @And the voice came to me again from heaven, saying, Go, take the book which is open in the hand of the angel who has his place on the sea and on the earth.

bbe@Revelation:10:9 @And I went to the angel, and said to him, Give me the little book

bbe@Revelation:10:11 @And they said to me, You are to give word again of what is coming in the future to the peoples and nations and languages and kings.

bbe@Revelation:11:1 @And there was given to me a measuring rod: and one said, Go up and take the measure of the house of God, and the altar, and the worshippers in it.

bbe@Revelation:11:2 @But do not take the measure of the space outside the house; because it has been given to the nations: and the holy town will be under their feet for forty-two months.

bbe@Revelation:11:5 @And if any man would do them damage, fire comes out of their mouth and puts an end to those who are working against them: and if any man has a desire to do them damage, in this way will he be put to death.

bbe@Revelation:11:7 @And when they have come to the end of their witness, the beast which comes up out of the great deep will make war on them and overcome them and put them to death.

bbe@Revelation:11:8 @And their dead bodies will be in the open street of the great town, which in the spirit is named Sodom and Egypt, where their Lord was put to death on the cross.

bbe@Revelation:11:11 @And after three days and a half the breath of life from God went into them, and they got up on their feet; and great fear came on those who saw them

bbe@Revelation:11:12 @And a great voice from heaven came to their ears, saying to them, Come up here. And they went up into heaven in the cloud, and were seen by those desiring their death.

bbe@Revelation:11:13 @And in that hour there was a great earth-shock and a tenth part of the town came to destruction; and in the earth-shock seven thousand persons came to their end: and the rest were in fear, and gave glory to the God of heaven.

bbe@Revelation:11:14 @The second Trouble is past: see, the third Trouble comes quickly.

bbe@Revelation:11:15 @And at the sounding of the seventh angel there were great voices in heaven, saying, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord, and of his Christ, and he will have rule for ever and ever.

bbe@Revelation:11:18 @And the nations were angry, and your wrath has come, and the time for the dead to be judged, and the time of reward for your servants, the prophets, and for the saints, and for those in whom is the fear of your name, small and great, and the time of destruction for those who made the earth unclean.

bbe@Revelation:11:19 @And the house of God which is in heaven was open; and the ark of his agreement was seen in his house, and there were flames and voices and thunders and an earth-shock and a rain of ice.

bbe@Revelation:12:8 @And they were overcome, and there was no more place for them in heaven.

bbe@Revelation:12:9 @And the great dragon was forced down, the old snake, who is named the Evil One and Satan, by whom all the earth is turned from the right way; he was forced down to the earth, and his angels were forced down with him.

bbe@Revelation:12:10 @And a great voice in heaven came to my ears, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: because he who says evil against our brothers before our God day and night is forced down.

bbe@Revelation:12:11 @And they overcame him through the blood of the Lamb and the word of their witness; and loving not their lives they freely gave themselves up to death.

bbe@Revelation:12:12 @Be glad then, O heavens, and you who are in them. But there is trouble for the earth and the sea: because the Evil One has come down to you, being very angry, having the knowledge that he has but a short time.

bbe@Revelation:12:14 @And there were given to the woman two wings of a great eagle, so that she might go in flight into the waste land, to her place, where she is given food for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the snake.

bbe@Revelation:13:1 @And he took his place on the sand of the sea. And I saw a beast coming up out of the sea, having ten horns and seven heads, and on his horns ten crowns, and on his heads unholy names.

bbe@Revelation:13:6 @And his mouth was open to say evil against God, and against his name and his Tent, even against those who are in heaven.

bbe@Revelation:13:7 @And it was given to him to make war on the saints and to overcome them: and there was given to him authority over every tribe and people and language and nation.

bbe@Revelation:13:8 @And all who are on the earth will give him worship, everyone whose name has not been from the first in the book of life of the Lamb who was put to death.

bbe@Revelation:13:13 @And he does great signs, even making fire come down from heaven on the earth before the eyes of men.

bbe@Revelation:13:14 @And those who are on the earth are turned from the true way by him through the signs which he was given power to do before the beast; giving orders to those who are on the earth to make an image to the beast, who was wounded by the sword, and came to life.

bbe@Revelation:13:15 @And he had power to give breath to the image of the beast, so that words might come from the image of the beast, and that he might have all those who did not give worship to the image of the beast put to death

bbe@Revelation:13:17 @So that no man might be able to do trade but he who has the mark, even the name of the beast or the number of his name.

bbe@Revelation:14:1 @And I saw the Lamb on the mountain of Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand, marked on their brows with his name and the name of his Father.

bbe@Revelation:14:2 @And a voice from heaven came to my ears, like the sound of great waters, and the sound of loud thunder: and the voice which came to me was like the sound of players, playing on instruments of music.

bbe@Revelation:14:3 @And they made as it seemed a new song before the high seat, and before the four beasts and the rulers: and no man might have knowledge of the song but the hundred and forty-four thousand, even those from the earth whom God has made his for a price.

bbe@Revelation:14:4 @These are they who have not made themselves unclean with women; for they are virgins. These are they who go after the Lamb wherever he goes. These were taken from among men to be the first fruits to God and to the Lamb.

bbe@Revelation:14:7 @Saying with a loud voice, Have fear of God and give him glory; because the hour of his judging is come; and give worship to him who made heaven and earth and the sea and the fountains of water.

bbe@Revelation:14:8 @And a second angel came after, saying, Destruction has come to Babylon the great, which gave to all the nations the wine of the wrath of her evil ways.

bbe@Revelation:14:9 @And a third angel came after them, saying with a loud voice, If any man gives worship to the beast and his image, and has his mark on his brow or on his hand,

bbe@Revelation:14:11 @And the smoke of their pain goes up for ever and ever; and they have no rest day and night, who give worship to the beast and his image, and have on them the mark of his name.

bbe@Revelation:14:13 @And a voice from heaven came to my ears, saying, Put in writing, There is a blessing on the dead who from now on come to their end in the Lord: yes, says the Spirit, that they may have rest from their troubles; for their works go with them.

bbe@Revelation:14:15 @And another angel came out from the house of God, crying with a loud voice to him who was seated on the cloud, Put in your blade, and let the grain be cut: because the hour for cutting it is come; for the grain of the earth is over-ready.

bbe@Revelation:14:17 @And another angel came out from the house of God which is in heaven, having a sharp curved blade

bbe@Revelation:14:18 @And another angel came out from the altar, who has power over fire; and he gave a loud cry to him who had the sharp curved blade, saying, Put in your sharp blade, and let the grapes of the vine of the earth be cut; for her grapes are fully ready.

bbe@Revelation:14:20 @And the grapes were crushed under foot outside the town, and blood came out from them, even to the head-bands of the horses, two hundred miles.

bbe@Revelation:15:1 @And I saw another sign in heaven, great and strange; seven angels having the seven last punishments, for in them the wrath of God is complete.

bbe@Revelation:15:2 @And I saw a sea which seemed like glass mixed with fire; and those who had overcome the beast and his image and the number of his name, were in their places by the sea of glass, with God's instruments of music in their hands.

bbe@Revelation:15:4 @What man is there who will not have fear before you, O Lord, and give glory to your name? because you only are holy; for all the nations will come and give worship before you; for your righteousness has been made clear.

bbe@Revelation:15:6 @And the seven angels who had the seven punishments came out from the house of God, clothed with linen, clean and bright and with bands of gold about their breasts.

bbe@Revelation:15:8 @And the house of God was full of smoke from the glory of God, and from his power, and no one was able to go into the house of God, till the seven punishments of the seven angels were ended.

bbe@Revelation:16:1 @And a great voice out of the house of God came to my ears, saying to the seven angels, Go, and let that which is in the seven vessels of the wrath of God come down on the earth.

bbe@Revelation:16:2 @And the first went, and let what was in his vessel come down on the earth; and it became an evil poisoning wound on the men who had the mark of the beast, and who gave worship to his image.

bbe@Revelation:16:3 @And the second let what was in his vessel come out into the sea; and it became blood as of a dead man; and every living thing in the sea came to an end.

bbe@Revelation:16:4 @And the third let what was in his vessel come out into the rivers and the fountains of water; and they became blood.

bbe@Revelation:16:5 @And the voice of the angel of the waters came to my ears, saying, True and upright is your judging, O Holy One, who is and was from all time:

bbe@Revelation:16:6 @For they made the blood of saints and prophets come out like a stream, and blood have you given them for drink; which is their right reward.

bbe@Revelation:16:7 @And a voice came from the altar, saying, Even so, O Lord God, Ruler of all, true and full of righteousness is your judging.

bbe@Revelation:16:8 @And the fourth let what was in his vessel come out on the sun; and power was given to it that men might be burned with fire.

bbe@Revelation:16:9 @And men were burned with great heat: and they said evil things against the name of the God who has authority over these punishments; and they were not turned from their evil ways to give him glory.

bbe@Revelation:16:10 @And the fifth let what was in his vessel come out on the high seat of the beast; and his kingdom was made dark; and they were biting their tongues for pain.

bbe@Revelation:16:12 @And the sixth let what was in his vessel come out on the great river Euphrates; and it became dry, so that the way might be made ready for the kings from the east.

bbe@Revelation:16:15 @(See, I come as a thief. Happy is he who is watching and keeps his robes, so that he may not go unclothed, and his shame be seen.)

bbe@Revelation:16:16 @And they got them together into the place which is named in Hebrew Armageddon.

bbe@Revelation:16:17 @And the seventh let what was in his vessel come out on the air; and there came out a great voice from the house of God, from the high seat, saying, It is done.

bbe@Revelation:16:18 @And there were flames and voices and thunders; and there was a great earth-shock so that never, from the time when men were on the earth, had there been so great an earth-shock, so full of power.

bbe@Revelation:16:19 @And the great town was cut into three parts, and the towns of the nations came to destruction: and Babylon the great came into mind before God, to be given the cup of the wine of his wrath.

bbe@Revelation:16:21 @And great drops of ice, every one about the weight of a talent, came down out of heaven on men: and men said evil things against God because of the punishment of the ice-drops; for it is very great

bbe@Revelation:17:1 @And one of the seven angels who had the seven vessels came and said to me, Come here, so that you may see the judging of the evil woman who is seated on the great waters;

bbe@Revelation:17:3 @And he took me away in the Spirit into a waste land: and I saw a woman seated on a bright red beast, full of evil names, having seven heads and ten horns,

bbe@Revelation:17:4 @And the woman was clothed in purple and bright red, with ornaments of gold and stones of great price and jewels; and in her hand was a gold cup full of evil things and her unclean desires;

bbe@Revelation:17:5 @And on her brow was a name, SECRET, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF THE EVIL WOMEN AND OF THE UNCLEAN THINGS OF THE EARTH.

bbe@Revelation:17:6 @And I saw the woman overcome as with the wine of the blood of the saints, and the blood of those put to death because of Jesus. And when I saw her, I was overcome with a great wonder.

bbe@Revelation:17:7 @And the angel said to me, Why were you surprised? I will make clear to you the secret of the woman, and of the beast on which she is seated, which has the seven heads and the ten horns.

bbe@Revelation:17:8 @The beast which you saw was, and is not; and is about to come up out of the great deep, and to go into destruction. And those who are on the earth, whose names have not been put in the book of life from the first, will be full of wonder when they see the beast, that he was, and is not, and still will be.

bbe@Revelation:17:10 @And they are seven kings; the five have come to an end, the one is, the other has not come; and when he comes, he will have to go on for a little time.

bbe@Revelation:17:14 @These will make war against the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because he is the Lord of lords and King of kings; and those who are with him are named, marked out, and true.

bbe@Revelation:17:15 @And he said to me, The waters which you saw, where the evil woman is seated, are peoples, and armies, and nations and languages.

bbe@Revelation:18:2 @And he gave a loud cry, saying, Babylon the great has come down from her high place, she has come to destruction and has become a place of evil spirits, and of every unclean spirit, and a hole for every unclean and hated bird.

bbe@Revelation:18:3 @For through the wine of the wrath of her evil desires all the nations have come to destruction; and the kings of the earth made themselves unclean with her, and the traders of the earth had their wealth increased by the power of her evil ways.

bbe@Revelation:18:4 @And another voice from heaven came to my ears, saying, Come out of her, my people, so that you may have no part in her sins and in her punishments.

bbe@Revelation:18:7 @As she gave glory to herself, and became more evil in her ways, in the same measure give her pain and weeping: for she says in her heart, I am seated here a queen, and am no widow, and will in no way see sorrow.

bbe@Revelation:18:8 @For this reason in one day will her troubles come, death and sorrow and need of food; and she will be completely burned with fire; for strong is the Lord God who is her judge.

bbe@Revelation:18:10 @Watching from far away, for fear of her punishment, saying, Sorrow, sorrow for Babylon, the great town, the strong town! for in one hour you have been judged

bbe@Revelation:18:12 @Gold, and silver, and stones of great price, and jewels, and delicate linen, and robes of purple and silk and red; and perfumed wood, and every vessel of ivory, and every vessel made of fair wood, and of brass, and iron, and stone;

bbe@Revelation:18:13 @And sweet-smelling plants, and perfumes, and wine, and oil, and well crushed grain, and cattle and sheep; and horses and carriages and servants; and souls of men.

bbe@Revelation:18:14 @And the fruit of your soul's desire has gone from you, and all things delicate and shining have come to an end and will never again be seen.

bbe@Revelation:18:15 @The traders in these things, by which their wealth was increased, will be watching far off for fear of her punishment, weeping and crying;

bbe@Revelation:18:16 @Saying, Sorrow, sorrow for the great town, she who was clothed in delicate linen, and purple, and red; with ornaments of gold and stones of great price and jewels!

bbe@Revelation:18:17 @For in one hour such great wealth has come to nothing. And every shipmaster, and all who are sailing on the sea, and sailors and all who get their living by the sea, were watching from far away,

bbe@Revelation:18:21 @And a strong angel took up a stone like the great stone with which grain is crushed, and sent it into the sea, saying, So, with a great fall, will Babylon, the great town, come to destruction, and will not be seen any more at all.

bbe@Revelation:19:1 @After these things there came to my ears a sound like the voice of a great band of people in heaven, saying, Praise to the Lord; salvation and glory and power be to our God:

bbe@Revelation:19:2 @For true and upright are his decisions; for by him has the evil woman been judged, who made the earth unclean with the sins of her body; and he has given her punishment for the blood of his servants.

bbe@Revelation:19:5 @And a voice came from the high seat, saying, Give praise to our God, all you his servants, small and great, in whom is the fear of him.

bbe@Revelation:19:6 @And there came to my ears the voice of a great army, like the sound of waters, and the sound of loud thunders, saying, Praise to the Lord: for the Lord our God, Ruler of all, is King.

bbe@Revelation:19:7 @Let us be glad with delight, and let us give glory to him: because the time is come for the Lamb to be married, and his wife has made herself ready.

bbe@Revelation:19:9 @And he said to me, Put in the book, Happy are the guests at the bride-feast of the Lamb. And he said to me, These are the true words of God.

bbe@Revelation:19:11 @And the heaven was open; and I saw a white horse, and he who was seated on it was named Certain and True; and he is judging and making war in righteousness.

bbe@Revelation:19:12 @And his eyes are a flame of fire, and crowns are on his head; and he has a name in writing, of which no man has knowledge but himself.

bbe@Revelation:19:13 @And he is clothed in a robe washed with blood: and his name is The Word of God.

bbe@Revelation:19:15 @And out of his mouth comes a sharp sword, with which he overcomes the nations: and he has rule over them with a rod of iron: and he is crushing with his feet the grapes of the strong wrath of God the Ruler of all.

bbe@Revelation:19:16 @And on his robe and on his leg is a name, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

bbe@Revelation:19:17 @And I saw an angel taking his place in the sun; and he was crying with a loud voice, saying to all the birds in flight in the heavens, Come together to the great feast of God;

bbe@Revelation:19:18 @So that you may take for your food the flesh of kings, and of captains, and of strong men, and of horses and of those who are seated on them, and the flesh of all men, free and unfree, small and great.

bbe@Revelation:19:19 @And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, come together to make war against him who was seated on the horse and against his army.
