The New English Translation (NET) is the newest complete translation of the original biblical languages into English. In the mid-1990s, a multi-denominational team of more than twenty-five of the world’s foremost biblical scholars gathered around the shared vision of creating an English Bible translation that could overcome old challenges and boldly open the door for new possibilities.
The NET’s uniquely transparent, accountable translation process has been crystalized in the most extensive set of Bible translators’ notes ever created. More than 60,000 notes highlight every major decision, outline alternative views, and explain difficult or nontraditional renderings.
The most substantial editing work for this Second Edition centered on the essential task of creating an updated Strong’s Hebrew/Greek to English mapping of the entire translation. This allowed the discovery of discrepancies and inconsistencies as well as creating a collating base for comparing consistency across the entire Bible. We completed many items on our list of initiatives for the Second Edition:
- Both OT and NT have updated Strong’s tagged using phrase tagging as well as multiple number tagging.
- This detailed Strong’s tagging was used to detect and correct inconsistencies across the OT.
- Divine names in the OT have been made more consistent.
- Technical terms related to geography, feast names, and the tabernacle have been made more consistent.
- References to explicit sexual body parts or sexual acts have been made more euphemistic like it is in the Hebrew and Greek. Sometimes a more transparent translation isn’t always better, such as reading the Christmas story with young children.
- Awkward/unidiomatic renderings were revised, and
- Hebrew references in footnotes were corrected and standardized.
- We did delete about 3300 footnotes which were deemed unnecessary and superfluous such as “δε has not been translated” or “και has not been translated due to differences in Greek and English style.”
We did not have any changes in translation philosophy between the first drafts and the new Second Edition, and our appreciation of the guidance and faithfulness of W. Hall Harris and the translators remains deep seated and grows stronger with time. This Second Edition solely comprehends tasks the team had in mind as unfinished and future when we closed down our work on the First Edition. With these tens of thousands of updates, we strove to make a fine translation better. As you know, the extensive use of translators’ notes has simultaneously removed stress for the translators as well as given innumerable insights to the reader by providing a way for the translators to add nuances normally lost in translation.
List of Changed Verses
Explanation and Disclaimer: In the spirit of transparency, we provide the information below so that you can see what changes were made from the First Edition of the NET Bible to the Second Edition. This is derived by using the Word compare feature between our 2007 doc files and the 2017 doc files that were created from our database export. Word generated "deletions" and "insertions" code in the underlying xml files, and we wrote a perl script to extract the verses that had changes. According to Word for Windows, there are about 3,000 verses that were changed. There were many more changes made to the translators' notes, but we were unable to extract those with this method. For the most part, this should be a fairly complete list. The text that was deleted is displayed with a line through it, and the replacement text is in red.

Je 9:2 (9:1) I wish I had a lodging place in the desertwildernesswhere I could spend some time like a weary traveler. Then I would desert my peopleand walk away from thembecause they are all unfaithful to God,a congregation of people that has been disloyal to him. The Lord Laments That He Has No Choice But to Judge Them
Je 9:7 Therefore the Lord who rules over all says,of Heaven’s Armies, “I will now purify them in the fires of affliction and test them.The wickedness of my dear people has left me no choice.What else can I do?
Je 9:15 So then, listen to what I, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel who rules over all, say. ‘I will make these people eat the bitter food of suffering and drink the poison water of judgment.
Je 9:17 The Lord who rules over allof Heaven’s Armies told me to say to this people, “Take note of what I say. Call for the women who mourn for the dead!Summon those who are the most skilled at it!”
Je 9:19 For the sound of wailing is soon to be heard in Zion.,They will wail, ‘We are utterly ruined! We are completely disgraced!For we have left our land!For our houses have been torn downand we must leave our land.!’”
Je 9:20 I said, “So now, you wailing women, hear whatlisten to the Lord saysLord’s message. Open your ears to the wordsmessage from his mouth.Teach your daughters this mournful song,and each of youlet every woman teach yourher neighbor this lament.
Je 10:9 Hammered-out silver is brought from Tarshish and gold is brought from UphazUfaz to cover those idols. They are the handiwork of carpenters and goldsmiths. They are clothed in blue and purple clothes. They are all made by skillful workers.
Je 10:16 The Lord, who is the inheritance of Jacob’s descendants, is not like them.He is the one who created everything.And the people of Israel are those he claims as his own. HeHis name is known as the Lord who rules over allof Heaven’s Armies.” Jeremiah Laments for and Prays for the Soon-to-be-Judged People
Je 11:4 Those are the terms that I charged your ancestors to keep when I brought them out of Egypt, that place which was like an iron-smelting furnace. I said at that time, “Obey me and carry out the terms of the agreementcovenant exactly as I commanded you. If you do, you will be my people and I will be your God.
Je 11:14 SoBut as for you, Jeremiah, do not pray for these people. Do not raise a cry out to me or petition me on their behalf. Do not plead with me to saveof prayer for them. For I will not listen to them when they call out to me for help when disaster strikes them.”
Je 11:17 For though I, the Lord who rules over allof Heaven’s Armies, planted you in the land, I now decree that disaster will come on you because the nations of Israel and Judah have done eviland have made me angry by offering sacrifices to the god Baal.” A Plot Against Jeremiah is Revealed and He Complains of Injustice
Je 11:20 So I said to the Lord, “O Lord who rules over allof Heaven’s Armies, you are a just judge!You examine people’s hearts and minds. I want to see you pay them back for what they have donebecause I trust you to vindicate my cause.”
Je 11:22 So the Lord who rules over allof Heaven’s Armies said, “I will surely punish them! Their young men will be killed in battle. Their sons and daughters will die of starvation.
Je 12:10 Many foreign rulers will ruin the land where I planted my people. They will trample all over my chosen land. They will turn my beautiful landinto a desolate wastelandwilderness.
Je 12:12 A destructive army will come marchingover the hilltops in the desertwilderness.For the Lord will use them as his destructive weapon against everyone from one end of the land to the other.No one will be safe.
Je 12:14 “I, the Lord, also have something to say concerning the wicked nations who surround my land and have attacked and plundered the land that I gave to my people as a permanent possession. I say: ‘I will uproot the people of those nations from their landsland and I will free the people of Judah who have been taken there.
Je 12:16 But they must make sure youto learn to follow the religious practices of my people. Once they taught my people to swear their oaths using the name of the god Baal. But then, they must swear oaths using my name, saying, “As surely as the Lord lives, I swear.” If they do these things, then they will be included among the people I call my own.
Je 13:2 So I bought the shorts asin keeping with the Lord had told me to doLord’s instructions and put them on.
Je 13:3 Then the Lord spokeLord’s message came to me again and said,,
Je 13:8 Then the Lord saidLord’s message came to me,
Je 14:1 The Lord spokeThis was the Lord’s message to Jeremiah about the drought.
Je 14:13 Then I said, “Oh, Sovereign Lord God, look! The prophets are telling them that you said, ‘You will not experience war or suffer famine. I will give you lasting peace and prosperity in this land.’”
Je 14:18 If I go out into the countryside,I see those who have been killed in battle.If I go into the city,I see those who are sick because of starvation. For both prophet and priest–they go about their own business peddling in the land without having any real understandingbut they are not humbled.’”
Je 15:16 As your words came to me I drank them in, and they filled my heart with joy and happinessbecause I belong to you., O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies.
Je 16:1 The Lord saidLord’s message came to me,
Je 16:9 For I, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel who rules over all, tell you what will happen. I will put an end to the sounds of joy and gladness, to the glad celebration of brides and grooms in this land. You and the rest of the people will live to see this happen.’” The Lord Promises Exile (But Also Restoration)
Je 17:6 They will be like a shrub in the desert.arid rift valley. They will not experience good things even when they happen.It will be as though they were growing in the desert,stony wastes in the wilderness, in a salt land where no one can live.
Je 17:13 You are the one in whom Israel may find hope. All who leave you will suffer shame.Those who turn away from you will be consigned to the nether worldnetherworld. For they have rejected you, the Lord, the fountain of life.
Je 17:14 Lord, grant me relief from my sufferingso that I may have some relief.;Rescuerescue me from those who persecute meso that I may be rescued., for you give me reason to praise!
Je 17:20 As you stand in those placesAnd then announce to them, ‘Listen, all you people who pass through these gates. Listen, all to the Lord’s message, you kings of Judah, all you people ofand everyone from Judah, and all you citizens of Jerusalem. Listen to what the Lord says., those who pass through these gates.
Je 17:26 Then people will come here from the towns in Judah, from the villages surrounding Jerusalem, from the territory of Benjamin, from the western foothills, from the southern hill country, and from the southern part of Judah. They will come bringing offerings to the temple of the Lord: burnt offerings, sacrifices, grain offerings, and incense along with their thank offerings.
Je 18:5 Then the Lord saidLord’s message came to me,
Je 19:3 Say, ‘Listen to what the Lord saysLord’s message, you kings of Judah and citizens of Jerusalem! The LordThis is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel who rules over all says, “, has said, “Look here. I willam about to bring a disaster on this place that will make the ears of everyone who hears about it ring!
Je 19:11 Tell them the Lord who rules over allof Heaven’s Armies says, ‘I will do just as Jeremiah has done. I will smash this nation and this city as though it were a potter’s vessel which is broken beyond repair. The dead will be buried here in Topheth until there is no more room to bury them.’
Je 19:15 “The Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel who rules over all says, ‘I will soon bring on this city and all the towns surrounding it all the disaster I threatened to do to it. I will do so because they have stubbornly refused to pay any attention to what I have said!’” Jeremiah is Flogged and Put in A Cell
Je 20:12 O Lord who rules over allof Heaven’s Armies, you test and prove the righteous.You see into people’s hearts and minds. Pay them back for what they have donebecause I trust you to vindicate my cause.
Je 21:11 The Lord told me to say to the royal court of Judah, “Listen to what the Lord says, Lord’s message,
Je 21:13 Listen, you who sit enthroned above the valley on a rocky plateau.I am opposed to you,’ says the Lord. ‘You boast, “No one can swoop down on us.usbefore "such" and "in the context.".No one can penetrate into our places of refuge.”
Je 22:2 Say: ‘Listen, O king of Judah who follows in David’s succession. You, your officials, and your subjects who pass through the gates of this palace must listen to what the Lord saysLord’s message.
Je 22:29 OLand, land of Judah, land of Judah, land of Judah!, Listenlisten to what the Lord has to sayLord’s message!
Je 23:15 So then I, the Lord who rules over allof Heaven’s Armies, have something to say concerning the prophets of Jerusalem: ‘I will make these prophets eat the bitter food of suffering and drink the poison water of judgment. For the prophets of Jerusalem are the reason that ungodliness has spread throughout the land.’”
Je 23:16 The Lord who rules over allof Heaven’s Armies says to the people of Jerusalem: “Do not listen to whatthose prophets are saying to you.They are filling you with false hopes.They are reporting visions of their own imaginations,not something the Lord has given them to say.
Je 23:33 The Lord said to me, “Jeremiah, when one of these people, or a prophet, or a priest asks you, ‘What burdensome message do you have from the Lord?’ Tell’Tell them, ‘You are the burden, and I will cast you away. I, the Lord, affirm it!
Je 23:36 You must no longer say that the Lord’s message is burdensome. For what is ‘burdensome’ really pertains to what a person himself says. You are misrepresenting the words of our God, the living God, the Lord who rules over allof Heaven’s Armies.
Je 24:4 The Lord saidLord’s message came to me,
Je 25:3 “For the last twenty-three years, from the thirteenth year that Josiah son of Amon was ruling in Judah until now, the Lord has been speakingLord’s messages have come to me. and I have told them to you over and over again what he said. But you would not listen.
Je 25:8 “Therefore, the Lord who rules over allof Heaven’s Armies says, ‘You have not listened to what I said.
Je 25:27 Then the Lord said to me, “Tell them that the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel who rules over all says, ‘Drink this cup until you get drunk and vomit. Drink until you fall down and can’t get up. For I will send wars sweeping through you.’
Je 25:28 If they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink it, tell them that the Lord who rules over allof Heaven’s Armies says ‘You most certainly must drink it!
Je 25:29 For take note, I am already beginning to bring disaster on the city that I call my own. So how can you possibly avoid being punished? You will not go unpunished! For I am proclaiming war against all who live on the earth. I, the Lord who rules over allof Heaven’s Armies, affirm it!’
Je 25:32 The Lord who rules over allof Heaven’s Armies says,‘Disaster will soon come on one nation after another. A mighty storm of military destruction is rising upfrom the distant parts of the earth.’
Je 26:9 How dare you claim the Lord’s authority to prophesy such things! How dare you claim his authority to prophesy that this temple will become like Shiloh and that this city will become an uninhabited ruin!” Then all the people crowded around Jeremiah. in the Lord’s temple.
Je 26:18 “Micah from Moresheth prophesied during the time Hezekiah was king of Judah. He told all the people of Judah,‘The Lord who rules over allof Heaven’s Armies says,“Zion will become a plowed field.Jerusalem will become a pile of rubble.The temple mount will become a mere wooded ridge.”’
Je 26:21 When the kingKing Jehoiakim and all his bodyguards and officials heard what he was prophesying, the king sought to have him executed. But Uriah found out about it and fled to Egypt out of fear.
Je 27:4 Charge them to give their masters a message from me. Tell them, ‘The Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel who rules over all says to give your masters this message.
Je 27:18 I also told them, “If they are really prophets and the Lord is speaking to them, let them pray earnestly to the Lord who rules over all.of Heaven’s Armies. Let them plead with him not to let the valuable articles that are still left in the Lord’s temple, in the royal palace of Judah, and in Jerusalem be taken away to Babylon.
Je 27:19 For the Lord who rules over allof Heaven’s Armies has already spoken about the two bronze pillars, the large bronze basin called ‘The Sea,’ and the movable bronze stands. He has already spoken about the rest of the valuable articles that are left in this city.
Je 27:21 Indeed, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel who rules over all has already spoken about the valuable articles that are left in the Lord’s temple, in the royal palace of Judah, and in Jerusalem.

Je 28:14 For the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel who rules over all says, “I have put an irresistible yoke of servitude on all these nations so they will serve King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. And they will indeed serve him. I have even given him control over the wild animals.”’”

Je 32:6 So now, Jeremiah said, “The Lord toldLord’s message came to me,
Je 32:8 Now it happened just as the Lord had said! MyAnd then my cousin Hanamel came did come to me in the courtyard of the guardhouse in keeping with the Lord’s message. He said to me, ‘Buy my field which is at Anathoth in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin. Buy it for yourself since you are entitled as my closest relative to take possession of it for yourself.’ When this happened, I recognized that the Lord had indeed spoken to me.
Je 32:14 ‘The Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel who rules over all says, “Take these documents, both the sealed copy of the deed of purchase and the unsealed copy. Put them in a clay jar so that they may be preserved for a long time to come.”’

Je 32:26 The Lord answeredLord’s message came to Jeremiah.

Such a disgusting practice was not something I commanded them to do! It never even entered my mind to command them to do such a thing! So Judah is certainly liable for punishment.’

This will happen in the territory of Benjamin, the villages surrounding Jerusalem, the towns in Judah, the southern hill country, the western foothills, and southern Judah.

Je 38:12 Ebed Melech called down to Jeremiah, “Put these rags and worn-out clothes under your armpits to pad the ropes..” Jeremiah did as Ebed Melech instructed.
Je 38:17 Then Jeremiah said to Zedekiah, “The Lord, the God who rules over allof Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says, ‘You must surrender to the officers of the king of Babylon. If you do, your life will be spared and this city will not be burned down. Indeed, you and your whole family will be spared.

Jdg 6:8 So the Lord sent a prophet to the Israelites. He said to them, “This is what the Lord God of Israel has said: ‘I brought you up from Egypt and took you out of that place of slavery.
Jdg 6:10 I said to you, “I am the Lord your God! Do not worship the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you are now living!”.” But you have disobeyed me.’” Gideon Meets Some Visitors
Jdg 6:11 The Lord’s angel of the Lord came and sat down under the oak tree in Ophrah owned by Joash the Abiezrite. He arrived while Joash’s son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress so he could hide it from the Midianites.
Jdg 6:12 The Lord’s angel of the Lord appeared and said to him, “The Lord is with you, courageous warrior!”
Jdg 6:21 The Lord’s angel of the Lord touched the meat and the unleavened bread with the tip of his staff. Fire flared up from the rock and consumed the meat and unleavened bread. The Lord’s angel of the Lord then disappeared.
Jdg 6:22 When Gideon realized that it was the Lord’s angel of the Lord, he said, “Oh no! Sovereign Lord! I have seen the Lord’s angel of the Lord face-to-face!”
Jdg 6:23 The Lord said to him, “You are safe! Do not be afraid!. You are not going to die!”
Jdg 6:32 That very day Gideon’s father named him Jerub -Baal, because he had said, “Let Baal fight with him, for it was his altar that was pulled down.”Gideon Summons an Army and Seeks Confirmation
Jdg 7:1 Jerub -Baal (that is, Gideon) and his men got up the next morning and camped near the spring of Harod. The Midianites were camped north of them near the hill of Moreh in the valley.
Jdg 7:3 Now, announce to the men, ‘Whoever is shaking with fear may turn around and leave Mount Gilead.’” Twenty-two thousand22,000 men went home; ten thousand10,000 remained.
Jdg 7:6 Three hundredOnly 300 men lapped with their hands to their mouths; the rest of the men kneeled to drink water.
Jdg 7:7 The Lord said to Gideon, “With the three hundred300 men who lapped I will deliver the whole army and I will hand Midian over to you. The rest of the men should go home.”
Jdg 7:8 The men who were chosen took supplies and their trumpets. Gideon sent all the men of Israel back to their homes; he kept only three hundred300 men. Now the Midianites were camped down below in the valley. Gideon Reassured of Victory
Jdg 7:16 He divided the three hundred300 men into three units. He gave them all trumpets and empty jars with torches inside them.
Jdg 7:19 Gideon took a hundred100 men to the edge of the camp at the beginning of the middle watch, just after they had changed the guards. They blew their trumpets and broke the jars they were carrying.
Jdg 7:22 When the three hundred300 men blew their trumpets, the Lord caused the Midianites to attack one another with their swords throughout the camp. The army fled to Beth Shittah on the way to Zererah. They went to the border of Abel Meholah near Tabbath.
Jdg 8:4 Now Gideon and his three hundred300 men had crossed over the Jordan River, and even though they were exhausted, they were still chasing the Midianites.
Jdg 8:5 He said to the men of SuccothSukkoth, “Give some loaves of bread to the men who are following me, because they are exhausted. I am chasing Zebah and Zalmunna, the kings of Midian.”
Jdg 8:6 The officials of SuccothSukkoth said, “You have not yet overpowered Zebah and Zalmunna. So why should we give bread to your army?”
Jdg 8:8 He went up from there to Penuel and made the same request. The men of Penuel responded the same way the men of SuccothSukkoth had.
Jdg 8:10 Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor with their armies. There were about fifteen thousand15,000 survivors from the army of the eastern peoples; a hundred and twenty thousand120,000 sword-wielding soldiers had been killed.
Jdg 8:14 He captured a young man from SuccothSukkoth and interrogated him. The young man wrote down for him the names of Succoth’sSukkoth’s officials and city leaders—seventy-seven men in all.
Jdg 8:15 He approached the men of SuccothSukkoth and said, “Look what I have! Zebah and Zalmunna! You insulted me, saying, ‘You have not yet overpowered Zebah and Zalmunna. So why should we give bread to your exhausted men?’”
Jdg 8:16 He seized the leaders of the city, along with some desert thorns and briers; he then “threshed” the men of SuccothSukkoth with them.
Jdg 8:21 Zebah and Zalmunna said to Gideon, “Come on, you strike us, for a man is judged by his strength.” So Gideon killed Zebah and Zalmunna, and he took the crescent-shaped ornaments whichthat were on the necks of their camels. Gideon Rejects a Crown but Makes an Ephod
Jdg 8:26 The total weight of the gold earrings he requested came to seventeen hundred1,700 gold shekels. This was in addition to the crescent-shaped ornaments, jewelry, purple clothing worn by the Midianite kings, and the necklaces on the camels.
Jdg 8:29 Then Jerub -Baal son of Joash went home and settled down.
Jdg 8:32 Gideon son of Joash died at a very old age and was buried in the tomb of his father Joash located in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. Israel Returns to Baal -Worship
Jdg 8:33 After Gideon died, the Israelites again prostituted themselves to the Baals. They made Baal -Berith their god.
Jdg 8:35 They did not treat the family of Jerub -Baal (that is, Gideon) fairly in return for all the good he had done for Israel. Abimelech Murders His Brothers
Jdg 9:1 Now Abimelech son of Jerub -Baal went to Shechem to see his mother’s relatives. He said to them and to his mother’s entire extended family,
Jdg 9:2 “Tell all the leaders of Shechem this: ‘Why would you want to have seventy men, all Jerub -Baal’s sons, ruling over you, when you can have just one ruler? Recall that I am your own flesh and blood.’”
Jdg 9:4 They paid him seventy silver shekels out of the temple of Baal -Berith. Abimelech then used the silver to hire some lawless, dangerous men as his followers.
Jdg 9:5 He went to his father’s home in Ophrah and murdered his half -brothers, the seventy legitimate sons of Jerub -Baal, on one stone. Only Jotham, Jerub -Baal’s youngest son, escaped, because he hid.
Jdg 9:15 The thornbush said to the trees, ‘If you really want to choose me as your king, then come along, find safety under my branches!. Otherwise may fire blaze from the thornbush and consume the cedars of Lebanon!’
Jdg 9:16 “Now, if you have shown loyalty and integrity when you made Abimelech king, if you have done right to Jerub -Baal and his family, if you have properly repaid him —
Jdg 9:19 So if you have shown loyalty and integrity to Jerub -Baal and his family today, then may Abimelech bring you happiness and may you bring him happiness!
Jdg 9:24 He did this so the violent deaths of Jerub -Baal’s seventy sons might be avenged and Abimelech, their half-brother who murdered them, might have to pay for their spilled blood, along with the leaders of Shechem who helped him murder them.
Jdg 9:28 Gaal son of Ebed said, “Who is Abimelech and who is Shechem, that we should serve him? Is he not the son of Jerub -Baal, and is not Zebul the deputy he appointed? Serve the sons of Hamor, the father of Shechem! But why should we serve Abimelech?
Jdg 9:34 So Abimelech and all his men came up at night and set an ambush outside Shechem –; they divided into four units.
Jdg 9:46 When all the leaders of the Tower of Shechem heard the news, they went to the stronghold of the temple of El -Berith.
Jdg 9:49 So each of his men also cut off a branch and followed Abimelech. They put the branches against the stronghold and set fire to it. All the people of the Tower of Shechem died—about a thousand1,000 men and women.
Jdg 9:56 God repaid Abimelech for the evil he did to his father by murdering his seventy half -brothers.
Jdg 9:57 God also repaid the men of Shechem for their evil deeds. The curse spoken by Jotham son of Jerub -Baal fell on them.Stability Restored
Jdg 11:3 So Jephthah left his half -brothers and lived in the land of Tob. Lawless men joined Jephthah’s gang and traveled with him.
Jdg 11:9 Jephthah said to the leaders of Gilead, “All right!. If you take me back to fight with the Ammonites and the Lord gives them to me, I will be your leader.”
Jdg 11:26 Israel has been living in Heshbon and its nearby towns, in Aroer and its nearby towns, and in all the cities along the Arnon for three hundred300 years! Why did you not reclaim them during that time?
Jdg 11:33 He defeated them from Aroer all the way to Minnith—twenty cities in all, even as far as Abel Keramim!. He wiped them out! The Israelites humiliated the Ammonites.
Jdg 12:6 then they said to him, “Say ‘Shibboleth!’” If he said, “Sibboleth” (and could not pronounce the word correctly), they grabbed him and executed him right there at the fords of the Jordan. On that day forty-two thousand42,000 Ephraimites fell dead.
Jdg 12:7 Jephthah led Israel for six years; then he died and was buried in his citytown in Gilead. Order Restored
Jdg 13:3 The Lord’s angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, “You are infertile and childless, but you will conceive and have a son.
Jdg 13:13 The Lord’s angel of the Lord told Manoah, “Your wife should pay attention to everything I told her.
Jdg 13:15 Manoah said to the Lord’s angel of the Lord, “Please stay here awhile, so we can prepare a young goat for you to eat.”
Jdg 13:16 The Lord’s angel of the Lord said to Manoah, “If I stay, I will not eat your food. But if you want to make a burnt sacrifice to the Lord, you should offer it.” (He said this because Manoah did not know that he was the Lord’s angel of the Lord.)
Jdg 13:17 Manoah said to the Lord’s angel of the Lord, “Tell us your name, so we can honor you when your announcement comes true.”
Jdg 13:18 The Lord’s angel of the Lord said to him, “You should not ask me my name, because you cannot comprehend it.”
Jdg 13:20 As the flame went up from the altar toward the sky, the Lord’s angel of the Lord went up in it while Manoah and his wife watched. They fell facedown to the ground.
Jdg 13:21 The Lord’s angel of the Lord did not appear again to Manoah and his wife. After all this happened Manoah realized that the visitor had been the Lord’s angel. of the Lord.
Jdg 15:4 Samson went and captured three hundred300 jackals and got some torches. He tied the jackals in pairs by their tails and then tied a torch to each pair.
Jdg 15:11 Three thousandSo 3,000 men of Judah went down to the cave in the cliff of Etam and said to Samson, “Do you not know that the Philistines rule over us? Why have you done this to us?” He said to them, “I have only done to them what they have done to me.”
Jdg 15:15 He happened to see a solid jawbone of a donkey. He grabbed it and struck down a thousand1,000 men.
Jdg 16:5 The rulers of the Philistines went up to visit her and said to her, “Trick him! Find out what makes him so strong and how we can subdue him and humiliate him. Each one of us will give you eleven hundred1,100 silver pieces.”
Jdg 16:8 So the rulers of the Philistines brought her seven fresh bowstrings whichthat had not been dried, and she tied him up with them.
Jdg 16:17 Finally he told her his secret. He said to her, “My hair has never been cut, for I have been dedicated to God from the time I was conceived. If my head were shaved, my strength would leave me; I would become weak, and be just like all other men.”
Jdg 16:27 Now the temple was filled with men and women, and all the rulers of the Philistines were there. There were three thousand3,000 men and women on the roof watching Samson entertain.
Jdg 17:2 He said to his mother, “You know the eleven hundred1,100 pieces of silver which were stolen from you, about which I heard you pronounce a curse? Look here, I have the silver. I stole it, but now I am giving it back to you.” His mother said, “May the Lord reward you, my son!”
Jdg 17:3 When he gave back to his mother the eleven hundred1,100 pieces of silver, his mother said, “I solemnly dedicate this silver to the Lord. It will be for my son’s benefit. We will use it to make a carved image and a metal image.”
Jdg 17:4 When he gave the silver back to his mother, she took two hundred200 pieces of silver to a silversmith, who made them into a carved image and a metal image. She then put them in Micah’s house.
Jdg 18:11 So six hundred600 Danites, fully armed, set out from Zorah and Eshtaol.
Jdg 18:16 Meanwhile the six hundred600 Danites, fully armed, stood at the entrance to the gate.
Jdg 18:17 The five men who had gone to spy out the land broke in and stole the carved image, the ephod, the personal idols, and the metal image, while the priest was standing at the entrance to the gate with the six hundred600 fully armed men.
Jdg 19:6 So the two of them sat down and had a meal together. Then the girl’s father said to the man, “Why not stay another night and have a good time!”?”
Jdg 19:8 He woke up early in the morning on the fifth day so he could leave, but the girl’s father said, “Get some energy.! Wait until later in the day to leave!”.” So they ate a meal together.
Jdg 19:9 When the man got ready to leave with his concubine and his servant, his father-in-law, the girl’s father, said to him, “Look! The day is almost over!. Stay another night! Since the day is over, stay another night here and have a good time. You can get up early tomorrow and start your trip home.”
Jdg 19:20 The old man said, “Everything is just fine!. I will take care of all your needs. But don’t spend the night in the town square.”
Jdg 19:28 He said to her, “Get up, let’s leave!”.” But there was no response. He put her on the donkey and went home.
Jdg 20:2 The leaders of all the people from all the tribes of Israel took their places in the assembly of God’s people, which numbered four hundred thousand400,000 sword-wielding foot soldiers.
Jdg 20:10 We will take ten of every group of a hundred men from all the tribes of Israel (and a hundred of every group of a thousand, and a thousand of every group of ten thousand) to get supplies for the army. When they arrive in Gibeah of Benjamin, they will punish them for the atrocity whichthat they committed in Israel.”
Jdg 20:15 That day the Benjaminites mustered from their cities twenty-six thousand26,000 sword-wielding soldiers, besides seven hundred700 well-trained soldiers from Gibeah.
Jdg 20:16 Among this army were seven hundred700 specially -trained left-handed soldiers. Each one could sling a stone and hit even the smallest target.
Jdg 20:17 The men of Israel (not counting Benjamin) had mustered four hundred thousand400,000 sword-wielding soldiers, every one an experienced warrior.
Jdg 20:21 The Benjaminites attacked from Gibeah and struck down twenty-two thousand22,000 Israelites that day.
Jdg 20:23 The Israelites went up and wept before the Lord until evening. They asked the Lord, “Should we again march out to fight the Benjaminites, our brothers?” The Lord said, “Attack them!”.”
Jdg 20:25 The Benjaminites again attacked them from Gibeah and struck down eighteen thousand18,000 sword-wielding Israelite soldiers.
Jdg 20:34 Ten thousandThen 10,000 men, well-trained soldiers from all Israel, then made a frontal assault against Gibeah –; the battle was fierce. But the Benjaminites did not realize that disaster was at their doorstep.
Jdg 20:36 Then the Benjaminites saw they were defeated.The Israelites retreated before Benjamin, because they had confidence in the men they had hidhidden in ambush outside Gibeah.
Jdg 20:44 Eighteen thousandSo 18,000 Benjaminites, all of them capable warriors, fell dead.
Jdg 20:45 The rest turned and ran toward the wilderness, heading toward the cliff of Rimmon. But the Israelites caught five thousand5,000 of them on the main roads. They stayed right on their heels all the way to Gidom and struck down two thousand2,000 more.
Jdg 20:46 That day twenty-five thousand25,000 sword-wielding Benjaminites fell in battle, all of them capable warriors.
Jdg 20:47 Six hundredBut 600 survivors turned and ran away to the wilderness, to the cliff of Rimmon. They stayed there four months.
Jdg 20:48 The Israelites returned to the Benjaminite towns and put the sword to them. They wiped out the cities, the animals, and everything they could find. They set fire to every city in their path. 600Six Hundred Brides for 600Six Hundred Brothers
Jdg 21:3 They said, “Why, O Lord God of Israel, has this happened in Israel?”? An entire tribe has disappeared from Israel today!”
Ruth
Ru 1:4 SoBoth her sons married Moabite women. (One was named Orpah and the other Ruth.) And they continued to live there about ten years.
Ru 1:8 Naomi said to her two daughters-in-law, “Listen to me! Each of you should return to your mother’s home!. May the Lord show you the same kind of devotion that you have shown to your deceased husbands and to me!.
Ru 1:9 May the Lord enable each of you to find security in the home of a new husband!”.” Then she kissed them goodbye, and they wept loudly.
Ru 1:11 But Naomi replied, “Go back home, my daughters! There is no reason for you to return to Judah with me!. I am no longer capable of giving birth to sons who might become your husbands!
Ru 1:13 surely you would not want to wait until they were old enough to marry!. Surely you would not remain unmarried all that time! No, my daughters, you must not return with me. For my intense suffering is too much for you to bear. For the Lord is afflicting me!”
Ru 2:12 May the Lord reward your efforts! May your acts of kindness be repaid fully by the Lord God of Israel, from whom you have sought protection!”.”
Ru 2:13 She said, “You really are being kind to me, sir, for you have reassured and encouraged me, your servant, even though I will never be like one of your servants!”.”
Ru 2:14 Later during the mealtime Boaz said to her, “Come here and have some food! Dip your bread in the vinegar!”.” So she sat down beside the harvesters. Then he handed her some roasted grain. She ate until she was full and saved the rest.
Ru 2:15 When she got up to gather grain, Boaz told his male servants, “Let her gather grain even among the bundles!. Don’t chase her off!
Ru 2:17 So she gathered grain in the field until evening. When she threshed what she had gathered, it came to about thirty pounds of barley!. Ruth Returns to Naomi

1 SamuelHannah Gives Birth to SamuelIs Childless
1Sa 1:3 This man would go up from his city year after year to worship and to sacrifice to the Lord of Heaven’s Armies at Shiloh. (It was there that the two sons of Eli, Hophni and PhineasPhinehas, served as the Lord’s priests.)
1Sa 1:5 But to Hannah he would give a double portion, because he loved Hannah, although the Lord had not enabled her to have children.
1Sa 1:10 As for herHannah, she was very distressed. She prayed to the Lord and was, in fact, weeping.
1Sa 2:3 Don’t keep speaking so arrogantly. Proud talk should not come out of your mouth!,Forfor the Lord is a God who knows;he evaluates what people do.
1Sa 2:5 The well -fed hire themselves out to earn food,but the hungry no longer lack. Even the barren woman has given birth to seven, but the one with many children has declined.
1Sa 2:19 His mother used to make him a small robe and bring it up to him from time to time when she would go up with her husband to make the annual sacrifice.
1Sa 2:23 So he said to them, “Why do you do these things, these evil things whichthat I hear about from all these people?
1Sa 2:25 If a man sins against a man, one may appeal to God on his behalf. But if a man sins against the Lord, who can intercede for him then?” But Eli’s sons would not listen to their father. Indeed the Lord had decided to kill them.
1Sa 2:33 Any man of yours that I do not cut off from my altar, I will cause his eyes to fail and will cause him grief. All of those born to your family will die by the sword of man.
1Sa 2:36 Everyone who remains in your house will come to bow before him for a little money and for a scrap of bread. Each will say, ‘“Assign me to a priestly task so I can eat a scrap of bread..”’” The Call of Samuel
1Sa 3:9 So Eli said to Samuel, “Go back and lie down. When he calls you, say, “‘Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.”.’ So Samuel went back and lay down in his place.
1Sa 4:2 The Philistines arranged their forces to fight Israel. As the battle spread out, Israel was defeated by the Philistines, who killed about four thousand4,000 men in the battle line in the field.
1Sa 4:4 So the army sent to Shiloh, and they took from there the ark of the covenant of the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, who sits between the cherubim. Now the two sons of Eli, Hophni and PhineasPhinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.
1Sa 4:10 So the Philistines fought. Israel was defeated; they all ran home. The slaughter was very great; thirty thousand30,000 foot soldiers from Israel fell in battle.
1Sa 4:11 The ark of God was taken, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and PhineasPhinehas, were killed. Eli Dies
1Sa 4:14 When Eli heard the outcry, he said, “What isWhat’s this commotion?” The man quickly came and told Eli.
1Sa 4:17 The messenger replied, “Israel has fled from the Philistines! The army has suffered a great defeat! Your two sons, Hophni and PhineasPhinehas, are dead! The ark of God has been captured!”
1Sa 4:19 His daughter-in-law, the wife of PhineasPhinehas, was pregnant and close to giving birth. When she heard that the ark of God was captured and that her father-in-law and her husband were dead, she doubled over and gave birth. But her labor pains were too much for her.
1Sa 4:22 She said, “The glory has departed from Israel, because the ark of God has been captured.” God Sends Trouble for the Philistines withWho Have the Ark
1Sa 5:5 (For this reason, to this very day, neither Dagon’s priests nor anyone else who enters Dagon’s temple stepsteps on Dagon’s threshold in Ashdod.)
1Sa 6:3 They replied, “If you are going to send the ark of the God of Israel back, don’t send it away empty. Be sure to return it with a guilt offering. Then you will be healed, and you will understand why his hand ishas not been removed from you.”
1Sa 6:10 So the men did as instructed. They took two cows that had calves and harnessed themthe cows to a cart; they also removed their calves to their stalls.
1Sa 6:18 The gold mice corresponded in number to all the Philistine cities of the five leaders, from the fortified cities to hamlet villages, to greater Abel,. where theyThey positioned the ark of the Lord on a rock until this very day in the field of Joshua who was from Beth Shemesh.
1Sa 7:16 Year after year he used to travel the circuit of Bethel, Gilgal, and Mizpah; he used to judge Israel in all of these places.
1Sa 8:10 So Samuel spoke all of the Lord’s words to the people who were asking him for a king.
1Sa 9:1 There was a Benjaminite man named Kish son of Abiel, the son of Zeror, the son of Becorath, the son of Aphiah of Benjamin. HeKish was a prominent person.
1Sa 9:13 When you enter the town, you can find him before he goes up to the high place to eat. The people won’t eat until he arrives, for he must bless the sacrifice. Once that happens, those who have been invited will eat. Now go on up, for this is the time when you can find him!”.”
1Sa 9:16 “At this time tomorrow I will send to you a man from the land of Benjamin. You must consecrate him as a leader over my people Israel. He will save my people from the hand of the Philistines. For I have looked with favor on my people. Their cry has reached me!”.”
1Sa 9:17 When Samuel saw Saul, the Lord said, “Here is the man that I told you about!. He will rule over my people.”
1Sa 10:8 You will go down to Gilgal before me. I am going to join you there to offer burnt offerings and to make peace offerings. You should wait for seven days, until I arrive and tell you what to do.” Saul Becomes King
1Sa 10:11 When everyone who had known him previously saw him prophesying with the prophets, the people all asked one another, “What on earth has happened to the son of Kish? Does even Saul belong with the prophets?”
1Sa 10:24 Then Samuel said to all the people, “Do you see the one whom the Lord has chosen? Indeed, there is no one like him among all the people!”.” All the people shouted out, “Long live the king!”
1Sa 12:2 Now look! This king walks before you. As for me, I am old and gray, thoughand my sons are here with you. I have walked before you from the time of my youth till the present day.
1Sa 12:9 “But they forgot the Lord their God, so he gave them into the hand of Sisera, the general in command of Hazor’s army, and into the handhands of the Philistines and into the hand of the king of Moab, and they fought against them.
1Sa 12:10 Then they cried out to the Lord and admitted, ‘We have sinned, for we have forsaken the Lord and have served the Baals and the images of Ashtoreth. Now deliver us from the handhands of our enemies so that we may serve you.’
1Sa 12:11 So the Lord sent Jerub -Baal, Barak, Jephthah, and Samuel, and he delivered you from the handhands of the enemies all around you, and you were able to live securely.
1Sa 12:12 “When you saw that King Nahash of the Ammonites was advancing against you, you said to me, ‘No! A king will rule over us’—even though the Lord your God is your king!.
1Sa 12:13 Now look! Here is the king you have chosen—the one that you asked for! Look, the Lord has given you a king!.
1Sa 13:1 Saul was thirty years old when he began to reign; he ruled over Israel for forty years.
1Sa 13:2 Saul selected for himself three thousand3,000 men from Israel. Two thousand ofOf these 2,000 were with Saul at Micmash and in the hill country of Bethel; the remaining thousand1,000 were with Jonathan at Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin. He sent all the rest of the people back home.
1Sa 13:5 Meanwhile the Philistines gathered to battle with Israel. Then they went up against Israel with 3,000 chariots, , 6,000 horsemen, and an army as numerous as the sand on the seashore. They went up and camped at Micmash, east of Beth Aven.
1Sa 13:13 Then Samuel said to Saul, “You have made a foolish choice! You have not obeyed the commandment that the Lord your God gave you. Had you done that, the Lord would have established your kingdom over Israel forever!.
1Sa 13:14 But now your kingdom will not continue!. The Lord has sought out for himself a man who is loyal to him, and the Lord has appointed him to be leader over his people, for you have not obeyed what the Lord commanded you.”
1Sa 13:15 Then Samuel set out and went up from Gilgal to Gibeah in the territory of Benjamin. Saul mustered the army that remained with him; there were about six hundred600 men.
1Sa 13:18 another band turned toward the road leading to Beth Horon; and yet another band turned toward the road leading to the border that overlooks the valley of ZeboimZeboyim in the direction of the desert.
1Sa 13:21 They charged two-thirds of a shekel to sharpen plowshares and cutting instruments, and a one-third of a shekel to sharpen picks and axes, and to set ox goads.
1Sa 14:2 Now Saul was sitting under a pomegranate tree in Migron, on the outskirts of Gibeah. The army that was with him numbered about six hundred600 men.
1Sa 14:3 Now Ahijah was carrying an ephod. He was the son of Ahitub, who was the brother of Ichabod and a son of PhineasPhinehas, son of Eli, the priest of the Lord in Shiloh. The army was unaware that Jonathan had left.
1Sa 14:8 Jonathan replied, “All right!. We’ll go over to these men and fight them.
1Sa 14:19 While Saul spoke to the priest, the panic in the Philistines’ camp was becoming greater and greater. So Saul said to the priest, “Withdraw your hand!”.”
1Sa 14:20 Saul and all the army that was with him assembled and marched into battle, where they found the Philistines in total panic killing one another with their swords.
1Sa 14:24 Now the men of Israel were hard pressed that day, for Saul had made the army agree to this oath: “Cursed be the man who eats food before evening!. I will get my vengeance on my enemies!” So no one in the army ate anything.
1Sa 14:28 Then someone from the army informed him, “Your father put the army under a strict oath saying, ‘Cursed be the man who eats food today!.’ That is why the army is tired.”
1Sa 14:45 But the army said to Saul, “Should Jonathan, who won this great victory in Israel, die? May it never be! As surely as the Lord lives, not a single hair of his head will fall to the ground! For, for it is with the help of God that he has acted today.” So the army rescued Jonathan from death.
1Sa 15:3 So go now and strike down the Amalekites. Destroy everything that they have. Don’t spare them. Put them to death—man, woman, child, infant, ox, sheep, camel, and donkey alike.’”
1Sa 15:6 Saul said to the Kenites, “Go on and leave! Go down from among the Amalekites!. Otherwise I will sweep you away with them!. After all, you were kind to all the Israelites when they came up from Egypt.” So the Kenites withdrew from among the Amalekites.
1Sa 15:25 Now please forgive my sin!. Go back with me so I can worship the Lord.”
1Sa 15:33 Samuel said, “Just as your sword left women childless, so your mother will be the most bereaved among women!”.” Then Samuel hacked Agag to pieces there in Gilgal before the Lord.
1Sa 16:1 The Lord said to Samuel, “How long do you intend to mourn for Saul? I have rejected him as king over Israel. Fill your horn with olive oil and go!. I am sending you to Jesse in Bethlehem, for I have selected a king for myself from among his sons.”
1Sa 16:2 Samuel replied, “How can I go? Saul will hear about it and kill me!” But the Lord said, “Take a heifer with you and say, ‘I have come to sacrifice to the ,Lord.’
1Sa 16:6 When they arrived, Samuel noticed Eliab and said to himself, “Surely, here before the Lord stands his chosen king!”.”
1Sa 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Don’t be impressed by his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. God does not view things the way menpeople do. People look on the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.”
1Sa 16:8 Then Jesse called Abinadab and presented him to Samuel. But Samuel said, “The Lord has not chosen this one, either.”
1Sa 16:11 Then Samuel said toasked Jesse, “Is that all of the young men?” Jesse replied, “There is still the youngest one, but he’s taking care of the flock.” Samuel said to Jesse, “Send and get him, for we cannot turn our attention to other things until he comes here.”
1Sa 16:12 So Jesse had him brought in. Now he was ruddy, with attractive eyes and a handsome appearance. The Lord said, “Go and anoint him. This is the one!”.”
1Sa 16:15 Then Saul’s servants said to him, “Look, an evil spirit from God is tormenting you!.
1Sa 16:22 Then Saul sent word to Jesse saying, “Let David be my servant, for I really likeam very pleased with him.”
1Sa 17:5 He had a bronze helmet on his head and was wearing scale body armor. The weight of his bronze body armor was five thousand5,000 shekels.
1Sa 17:7 The shaft of his spear was like a weaver’s beam, and the iron point of his spear weighed six hundred600 shekels. His shield bearer was walking before him.
1Sa 17:12 Now David was the son of thisan Ephrathite named Jesse from Bethlehem in Judah. He had eight sons, and in Saul’s days he was old and well advanced in years.
1Sa 17:13 Jesse’s three oldest sons had followed Saul to war. The names of the three sons who went to war were Eliab, his firstborn, Abinadab, the second oldest,; and Shammah, the third oldest.
1Sa 17:28 When David’s oldest brother Eliab heard him speaking to the men, he became angry with David and said, “Why have you come down here? To whom did you entrust those few sheep in the wilderness? I am familiar with your pride and deceit! You have come down here to watch the battle!”.”
1Sa 17:33 But Saul replied to David, “You aren’t able to go against this Philistine and fight him!. You’re just a boy! He has been a warrior from his youth!”.”
1Sa 17:36 Your servant has struck down both the lion and the bear. This uncircumcised Philistine will be just like one of them., Forfor he has defied the armies of the living God!”.”
1Sa 17:37 David went on to say, “The Lord who delivered me from the lion and the bear will also deliver me from the hand of this Philistine!”.” Then Saul said to David, “Go! The Lord will be with you.”
1Sa 17:41 The Philistine kept coming closer to David, with his shield bearer walking in front of him, kept coming closer to David.
1Sa 17:46 This very day the Lord will deliver you into my hand!. I will strike you down and cut off your head. This day I will give the corpses of the Philistine army to the birds of the sky and the wild animals of the land. Then all the land will realize that Israel has a God,
1Sa 17:51 David ran and stood over the Philistine. He grabbed Goliath’s sword, drew it from its sheath, killedand after killing him, andhe cut off his head with it. When the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they ran away.
1Sa 17:55 Now as Saul watched David going out to fight the Philistine, he asked Abner, the general in command of the army, “Whose son is thisthat young man, Abner?” Abner replied, “As surely as you live, O king, I don’t know.”
1Sa 17:56 The king said, “Find out whose son this boy is!”.”
1Sa 18:4 Jonathan took off the robe he was wearing and gave it to David, along with the rest of his gear, including his sword, his bow, and even his belt.
1Sa 18:12 So Saul feared David, because the Lord was with himDavid but had departed from Saul.
1Sa 18:22 Then Saul instructed his servants, “Tell David secretly, ‘The king is pleased with you, and all his servants like you. So now become the king’s son-in-law.”.’”
1Sa 18:23 So Saul’s servants spoke these words privately to David. David replied, “Is becoming the king’s son-in-law something insignificant to you? I’m just a poor and lightly -esteemed man!”
1Sa 18:25 Saul replied, “Here is what you should say to David: ‘There is nothing that the king wants as a price for the bride except a hundred100 Philistine foreskins, so that he can be avenged of his enemies.’” (Now Saul was thinking that he could kill David by the hand of the Philistines.)
1Sa 18:27 when David, along with his men, went out and struck down two hundred200 Philistine men. David brought their foreskins and presented all of them to the king so that he could become the king’s son-in-law. Saul then gave him his daughter Michal in marriage.
1Sa 18:30 Then theThe leaders of the Philistines would march out, and as often as they did so, David achieved more success than all of Saul’s servants. His name was held in high esteem. Saul Repeatedly Attempts to Take David’s Life
1Sa 19:3 I will go out and stand beside my father in the field where you are. I will speak about you to my father about you. When I find out what the problem is, I will let you know.”
1Sa 19:13 Then Michal took a household idol and put it on the bed. She put a quilt made of goat’sgoats’ hair over its head and then covered the idol with a garment.
1Sa 19:16 When the messengers came, they found only the idol on the bed and the quilt made of goat’sgoats’ hair at its head.
1Sa 20:1 David fled from Naioth in Ramah. He came to Jonathan and asked, “What have I done? What is my offense? How have I sinned before your father? For, that he is seeking my life!”?”
1Sa 20:6 If your father happens to miss me, you should say, ‘David urgently requested me to let him go to his citytown Bethlehem, for there is an annual sacrifice there for his entire family.’
1Sa 20:12 Jonathan said to David, “The Lord God of Israel is my witness.! I will feel out my father about this time the day after tomorrow. If he is favorably inclined toward David, will I not then send word to you and let you know?
1Sa 20:14 While I am still alive, extend to me the loyalty of the Lord, or else I will die!.
1Sa 20:21 When I send a boy after them, I will say, “‘Go and find the arrows.”.’ If I say to the boy, ‘Look, the arrows are on this side of you; get them,’ then come back. For as surely as the Lord lives, you will be safe and there will be no problem.
1Sa 20:22 But if I say to the boy, “‘Look, the arrows are on the other side of you,’ then get away. For in that case the Lord has sent you away.
1Sa 20:23 With regard to the matter that you and I discussed, the Lord is the witness between us forever!”.”
1Sa 20:29 He said, ‘Permit me to go, for we are having a family sacrifice in the citytown, and my brother urged me to be there. So now, if I have found favor with you, let me go to see my brothers.’ For that reason he has not come to the king’s table.”
1Sa 20:37 When the servant came to the place where Jonathan had shot the arrow, Jonathan called out to the servant, “Isn’t the arrow furtherfarther beyond you?”
1Sa 20:40 Then Jonathan gave his equipment to the servant who was with him. He said to him, “Go, take these things back to the citytown.”
1Sa 20:42 Jonathan said to David, “Go in peace, for the two of us have sworn together in the name of the Lord saying, ‘The Lord will be between me and you and between my descendants and your descendants forever.’”David Goes to Nob(21:1) Then David got up and left, while Jonathan went back to the city.town of Naioth.
1Sa 21:6 So the priest gave him holy bread, for there was no bread there other than the breadBread of the Presence. It had been removed from before the Lord in order to replace it with hot bread on the day it had been taken away.
1Sa 21:9 The priest replied, “The sword of Goliath the Philistine, whom you struck down in the valley of Elah, is wrapped in a garment behind the ephod. If you wish, take it for yourself. Other than that one, there’s nothingno sword here.” David said, “There’s nothing like it!. Give it to me!”.”
1Sa 21:11 The servants of Achish said to him, “Isn’t this David, the king of the land? Isn’t he the one that they sing about when they dance, saying,‘Saul struck down his thousands,Butbut David his tens of thousands’?”
1Sa 21:15 Do I have a shortage of fools, so that you have brought me this man to display his insanity in front of me? Should this man enter my house?” David Goes to Adullam and Mizpah
1Sa 22:2 All those who were in trouble or owed someone money or were discontented gathered around him, and he became their leader. He had about four hundred400 men with him.
1Sa 22:7 Saul said to his servants who were stationed around him, “Listen up, you Benjaminites! Is Jesse’s son giving fields and vineyards to all of you? Or is he making all of you commanders and officers?
1Sa 22:8 For all of you have conspired against me! No one informs me when my own son makes an agreement with thisthe son of Jesse!. Not one of you feels sorry for me or informs me that my own son has commissioned my own servant to hide in ambush against me, as is the case today!”
1Sa 22:14 Ahimelech replied to the king, “Who among all your servants is faithful like David? He is the king’s son-in-law, the leader of your bodyguard, and honored in your house!.
1Sa 22:15 Was it just today that I began to inquire of God on his behalf? Far be it from me! The king should not accuse his servant or any of my father’s house. For, for your servant is not aware of all this—not in whole or in part!”
1Sa 22:17 Then the king said to the messengers who were stationed beside him, “Turn and kill the priests of the Lord, for they too have sided with David!. They knew he was fleeing, but they did not inform me.” But the king’s servants refused to harm the priests of the Lord.
1Sa 22:19 As for Nob, the city of the priests, heDoeg struck down with the sword men and women, children and infants, oxen, donkeys, and sheep—all with the sword.
1Sa 22:22 Then David said to Abiathar, “I knew that day when Doeg the Edomite was there that he would certainly tell Saul! I am guilty of all the deaths in your father’s house!.
1Sa 22:23 Stay with me. Don’t be afraid!. Whoever seeks my life is seeking your life as well. You are secure with me.” David Delivers the City of Keilah
1Sa 23:3 But David’s men said to him, “We are afraid while we are still here in Judah!. What will it be like if we go to Keilah against the armies of the Philistines?”
1Sa 23:9 When David realized that Saul was planning to harm him, he told Abiathar the priest, “Bring the ephod!”.”
1Sa 23:11 Will the leaders of Keilah deliver me into his hand? Will Saul come down as your servant has heard? O Lord God of Israel, please inform your servant!”.”Then the Lord said, “He will come down.”
1Sa 23:13 So David and his men, who numbered about six hundred600, set out and left Keilah; they moved around from one place to another. When told that David had escaped from Keilah, Saul called a halt to his expedition.
1Sa 23:14 David stayed in the strongholds that were in the desert and in the hill country of the wilderness of Ziph. Saul looked for him all the time, but God did not deliver David into his handhands.
1Sa 23:18 When the two of them had made a covenant before the Lord, David stayed on at Horesh, but Jonathan went to his house.
1Sa 23:26 Saul went on one side of the mountain, while David and his men went on the other side of the mountain. David was hurrying to get away from Saul, but Saul and his men were surrounding David and his men so they couldto capture them.
1Sa 24:1 (24:2) When Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, theyhe was told him, “Look, David is in the desert of En Gedi.”
1Sa 24:2 So Saul took three thousand3,000 select men from all Israel and went to find David and his men in the region of the rocks of the mountain goats.
1Sa 24:8 Afterward David got up and went out of the cave. He called out afterto Saul, “My lord, O king!” When Saul looked behind him, David kneeled down and bowed with his face to the ground.
1Sa 24:15 May the Lord be our judge and arbiter. May he see and arbitrate my case and deliver me from your hands!”.”
1Sa 24:17 He said to David, “You are more innocent than I, for you have treated me well, even though I have tried to harm you!.
1Sa 24:20 Now look, I realize that you will in fact be king and that the kingdom of Israel will be established in your handhands.
1Sa 25:2 There was a man in Maon whose business was in Carmel. This man was very wealthy; he owned three thousand3,000 sheep and a thousand1,000 goats. At that time he was shearing his sheep in Carmel.
1Sa 25:6 Then you will say to my brother, “‘Peace to you and your house! Peace to all that is yours!
1Sa 25:8 Ask your own servants; they can tell you! May my servants find favor in your sight, for we have come at the time of a holiday. Please provide us—your servants and your son David—with whatever you can spare.”.’”
1Sa 25:13 Then David instructed his men, “Each of you strap on your sword!” So each one strapped on his sword, and David also strapped on his sword. About four hundred400 men followed David up, while two hundred200 stayed behind with the equipment.
1Sa 25:18 So Abigail quickly took two hundred200 loaves of bread, two containers of wine, five prepared sheep, five seahs of roasted grain, a hundred100 bunches of raisins, and two hundred200 lumps of pressed figs. She loaded them on donkeys
1Sa 26:2 So Saul arose and went down to the wilderness of Ziph, accompanied by three thousand3,000 select men of Israel, to look for David in the wilderness of Ziph.
1Sa 27:2 So David left and crossed over to King Achish son of Maoch of Gath accompanied by his six hundred600 men.
1Sa 27:10 When Achish would ask, “Where did you raid today?” David would say, “The Negev of Judah” or “The Negev of JeharmeelJerahmeel” or “The Negev of the Kenites.”
1Sa 28:7 So Saul instructed his servants, “Find me a woman who is a medium, so that I may go to her and inquire of her.” His servants replied to him, “There is a woman who is a medium in En DorEndor.”
1Sa 28:13 The king said to her, “Don’t be afraid! WhatBut what have you seen?” The woman replied to Saul, “I have seen a divine spiritbeing coming up from the ground!”
1Sa 28:20 Saul quickly fell full length on the ground and was very afraid because of Samuel’s words. He was completely drained of energy, not having not eaten anything all that day and night.
1Sa 30:9 So David went, accompanied by his six hundred600 men. When he came to the Wadi Besor, those who were in the rear stayed there.
1Sa 30:10 David and four hundred400 men continued the pursuit, but two hundred200 men who were too exhausted to cross the Wadi Besor stayed there.
1Sa 30:17 But David struck them down from twilight until the following evening. None of them escaped, with the exception of four hundred400 young men who got away on camels.
1Sa 30:21 Then David approached the two hundred200 men who had been too exhausted to go with him, those whom they had left at the Wadi Besor. They went out to meet David and the people who were with him. When David approached the people, he asked how they were doing.
2 Samuel
2Sa 1:6 The young man who was telling him this said, “I just happened to be on Mount Gilboa and came across Saul leaning on his spear for support. The chariots and leaders of the horsemen were in hot pursuit of him.
2Sa 1:12 They lamented and wept and fasted until evening because Saul, his son Jonathan, the Lord’s peoplearmy, and the house of Israel had fallen by the sword.
2Sa 1:26 I grieve over you, my brother Jonathan!.You were very dear to me.Your love was more special to me than the love of women.
2Sa 2:8 Now Abner son of Ner, the general in command of Saul’s army, had taken Saul’s son Ish-bosheth Bosheth and had brought him to Mahanaim.
2Sa 2:10 Ish-bosheth Bosheth son of Saul was forty years old when he began to rule over Israel. He ruled two years. However, the people of Judah followed David.
2Sa 2:12 Then Abner son of Ner and the servants of Ish-bosheth Bosheth son of Saul went out from Mahanaim to Gibeon.
2Sa 2:15 So they got up and crossed over by number: twelve belonging to Benjamin and to Ish-bosheth Bosheth son of Saul, and twelve from the servants of David.
2Sa 2:23 But Asahel refused to turn aside. So Abner struck him in the abdomen with the back end of his spear. The spear came out his back; Asahel collapsed on the spot and died there right before Abner. Everyone who now comescame to the place where Asahel fell dead pausespaused in respect.
2Sa 2:27 Joab replied, “As surely as God lives, if you had not said this, it would have been morning before the people would have abandoned pursuit of their brothers!”.”
2Sa 3:7 Now Saul had a concubine named Rizpah daughter of Aiah. Ish-bosheth Bosheth said to Abner, “Why did you sleep with my father’s concubine?”
2Sa 3:8 These words of Ish-bosheth Bosheth really angered Abner and he said, “Am I the head of a dog that belongs to Judah? This very day I am demonstrating loyalty to the house of Saul your father and to his relatives and his friends! I have not betrayed you into the hand of David. Yet you have accused me of sinning with this woman today!
2Sa 3:11 Ish-bosheth Bosheth was unable to answer Abner with even a single word because he was afraid of him.
2Sa 3:14 David sent messengers to Ish-bosheth Bosheth son of Saul with this demand: “Give me my wife Michal whom I acquired for a hundred100 Philistine foreskins.”
2Sa 3:15 So Ish-bosheth Bosheth took her from her husband Paltiel son of Laish.
2Sa 3:24 So Joab went to the king and said, “What have you done? Abner has come to you!. Why would you send him away? Now he’s gone on his way!
2Sa 3:25 You know Abner the son of Ner!. Surely he came here to spy on you and to determine when you leave and when you return and to discover everything that you are doing!”
2Sa 3:28 When David later heard about this, he said, “I and my kingdom are forever innocent before the Lord of the shed blood of Abner son of Ner!.
2Sa 3:31 David instructed Joab and all the people who were with him, “Tear your clothes!. Put on sackcloth!. Lament before Abner!” Now King David followed behind the funeral pallet.
2Sa 3:39 Today I am weak, even though I am anointed as king. These men, the sons of Zeruiah, are too much for me to bear! May the Lord punish appropriately the one who has done this evil thing!” Ish-bosheth Bosheth is killed
2Sa 4:1 When Ish-bosheth Bosheth the son of Saul heard that Abner had died in Hebron, he was very disheartened, and all Israel was afraid.
2Sa 4:5 Now the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite—Recab and Baanah—went at the hottest part of the day to the home of Ish-bosheth Bosheth, as he was enjoying his midday rest.
2Sa 4:7 They had entered the house while Ish-bosheth Bosheth was resting on his bed in his bedroom. They mortally wounded him and then cut off his head. Taking his head, they traveled on the way of the rift valley all that night.
2Sa 4:8 They brought the head of Ish-bosheth Bosheth to David in Hebron, saying to the king, “Look! The head of Ish-bosheth Bosheth son of Saul, your enemy who sought your life! The Lord has granted vengeance to my lord the king this day against Saul and his descendants!”
2Sa 4:12 So David issued orders to the soldiers and they put them to death. Then they cut off their hands and feet and hung them near the pool in Hebron. But they took the head of Ish-boshethBosheth and buried it in the tomb of Abner in Hebron. David Is Anointed King Over Israel
2Sa 6:1 David again assembled all the best men in Israel, thirty thousand30,000 in number.
2Sa 6:22 I am willing to shame and humiliate myself even more than this!. But with the slave girls whom you mentioned, let me be distinguished!”.”
2Sa 7:5 “Go, tell my servant David:, ‘This is what the Lord has said: Do you really intend to build a house for me to live in?
2Sa 7:8 “So now, say this to my servant David:, ‘This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies has said: I took you from the pasture and from your work as a shepherd to make you leader of my people Israel.
2Sa 7:10 I will establish a place for my people Israel and settle them there; they will live there and not be disturbed any moreanymore. Violent men will not oppress them again, as they did in the beginning
2Sa 7:22 Therefore you are great, O Sovereign Lord, for there is none like you!. There is no God besides you! What we have heard is true!.
2Sa 7:28 Now, O Sovereign Lord, you are the true God!. May your words prove to be true! You have made this good promise to your servant!.
2Sa 8:4 David seized from him 1,700 charioteers and 20,000 infantrymen. David cut the hamstrings of all but a hundred100 of the chariot horses.
2Sa 8:18 Benaiah son of Jehoiada supervised the KerithitesKerethites and Pelethites; and David’s sons were priests. David Finds Mephibosheth
2Sa 9:3 The king asked, “Is there not someone left from Saul’s family, that I may extend God’s kindness to him?” Ziba said to the king, “One of Jonathan’s sons is left; both of his feet are crippled.”
2Sa 10:5 Messengers told David what had happened, so he summonedsent them, for to the men who were thoroughly humiliated. The king said, “Stay in Jericho until your beards have grown again; then you may come back.”
2Sa 10:6 When the Ammonites realized that David was disgusted with them, they sent and hired 20,000 foot soldiers from Aram Beth Rehob and Aram Zobah, in addition to 10001,000 men from the king of Maacah and 12,000 men from Ish-tob Tob.
2Sa 10:8 The Ammonites marched out and were deployed for battle at the entrance of the city gate, while the men from Aram Zobah, Rehob, Ish-tob Tob, and Maacah were by themselves in the field.
2Sa 12:23 But now he is dead. Why should I fast? Am I able to bring him back at this point? I will go to him, but he cannot return to me!’”!”
2Sa 13:35 Jonadab said to the king, “Look! The king’s sons have come! It’s just as I said!”.”
2Sa 14:18 Then the king replied to the woman, “Don’t hide any information from me when I question you.” The woman said, “Let my lord the king speak!”.”
2Sa 14:21 Then the king said to Joab, “All right! I will do this thing!. Go and bring back the young man Absalom!”
2Sa 15:11 Now two hundred200 men had gone with Absalom from Jerusalem. Since they were invited, they went naively and were unaware of what Absalom was planning.
2Sa 15:18 All his servants were leaving with him, along with all the Kerethites, all the Pelethites, and all the Gittites—some six hundred600 men who had come on foot from Gath. They were leaving with the king.
2Sa 15:20 It seems likeas if you arrived just yesterday. Today should I make you wander around by going with us? I go where I must go. But as for you, go back and take your men with you. May genuine loyal love protect you!”
2Sa 15:31 Now David had been told, “Ahithophel has sided with the conspirators who are with Absalom..” So David prayed, “Make the advice of Ahithophel foolish, O Lord..”
2Sa 16:1 When David had gone a short way beyond the summit, Ziba the servant of Mephibosheth was there to meet him. He had a couple of donkeys that were saddled, and on them were two hundred200 loaves of bread, a hundred100 raisin cakes, a hundred100 baskets of summer fruit, and a container of wine.
2Sa 16:10 But the king said, “What do we have in common, you sons of Zeruiah? If he curses because the Lord has said to him, ‘Curse David!!,’, who can say to him, ‘Why have you done this?’”
2Sa 17:1 Ahithophel said to Absalom, “Let me pick out twelve thousand12,000 men. Then I will go and pursue David this very night.
2Sa 17:11 My advice therefore is this: Let all Israel from Dan to Beer Sheba—in number like the sand by the sea! – —be mustered to you, and you lead them personally into battle.
2Sa 18:3 But the soldiers replied, “You should not do this! For if we should have to make a rapid retreat, they won’t be too concerned about us. Even if half of us should die, they won’t be too concerned about us. But you are like ten thousand10,000 of us! So it is better if you remain in the city for support.”
2Sa 18:12 The man replied to Joab, “Even if I were receiving a thousand1,000 pieces of silver, I would not strike the king’s son! In our very presence the king gave this order to you and Abishai and Ittai, ‘Protect the young man Absalom for my sake.’
2Sa 18:13 If I had acted at risk of my own life —and nothing is hidden from the king! – —you would have abandoned me.”
2Sa 18:18 Prior toBefore this Absalom had set up a monument and dedicated it to himself in the King’s Valley, reasoning, “I have no son who will carry on my name.” He named the monument after himself, and to this day it is known as Absalom’s Memorial. David Learns of Absalom’s Death
2Sa 19:17 There were a thousand1,000 men from Benjamin with him, along with Ziba the servant of Saul’s household, and with him his fifteen sons and twenty servants. They hurriedly crossed the Jordan within sight of the king.
2Sa 19:35 I am presentlynow eighty years old. Am I able to discern good and bad? Can I taste what I eat and drink? Am I still able to hear the voices of male and female singers? Why should I continue to be a burden to my lord the king?
2Sa 19:37 Let me return so that I may die in my own citytown near the grave of my father and my mother. But look, here is your servant Kimham. Let him cross over with my lord the king. Do for him whatever seems appropriate to you.”
2Sa 19:40 When the king crossed over to Gilgal, Kimham crossed over with him. Now all the soldiers of Judah along with half of the soldiers of Israel had helped the king cross over.
2Sa 20:1 Now a wicked man named Sheba son of BicriBikri, a Benjaminite, happened to be there. He blew the trumpet and said,“We have no share in David; we have no inheritance in this son of Jesse!Every man go home, O Israel!”
2Sa 20:2 So all the men of Israel deserted David and followed Sheba son of BicriBikri. But the men of Judah stuck by their king all the way from the Jordan River to Jerusalem.
2Sa 20:6 Then David said to Abishai, “Now Sheba son of BicriBikri will cause greater disaster for us than Absalom did! Take your lord’s servants and pursue him. Otherwise he will secure fortified cities for himself and get away from us.”
2Sa 20:7 So Joab’s men, accompanied by the Kerethites, the Pelethites, and all the warriors, left Jerusalem to pursue Sheba son of BicriBikri.
2Sa 20:10 Amasa did not protect himself from the knife in Joab’s other hand, and Joab stabbed him in the abdomen, causing Amasa’s intestines to spill out on the ground. There was no need to stab him again; the first blow was fatal. Then Joab and his brother Abishai pursued Sheba son of BicriBikri.
2Sa 20:13 Once he had removed Amasa from the path, everyone followed Joab to pursue Sheba son of BicriBikri.

Ezr 9:2 Indeed, they have taken some of their daughters as wives for themselves and for their sons, so that the holy race has become intermingled with the local residents. Worse still, the leaders and the officials have been at the forefront of all of this unfaithfulness!”

Ne 9:11 You split the sea before them, and they crossed through the sea on dry ground!. But you threw their pursuers into the depths, like a stone into surging waters.
Ne 9:14 You made known to them your holy Sabbath; you issued commandments, statutes, and lawlaws to them through Moses your servant.
Ne 9:32 “So now, our God—the great, powerful, and awesome God, who keeps covenant fidelity —do not regard as inconsequential all the hardship that has befallen us—our kings, our leaders, our priests, our prophets, our ancestors, and all your people—from the days of the kings of Assyria until this very day!.

Ne 12:44 On that day men were appointed over the storerooms for the contributions, first fruitsfirstfruits, and tithes, to gather into them from the fields of the cities the portions prescribed by the law for the priests and the Levites, for the people of Judah took delight in the priests and Levites who were ministering.
Ne 13:4 But prior tobefore this time, Eliashib the priest, a relative of Tobiah, had been appointed over the storerooms of the temple of our God.
Ne 13:5 He made for himself a large storeroom where previously they had been keeping the grain offering, the incense, and the vessels, along with the tithes of the grain, the new wine, and the olive oil as commanded for the Levites, the singers, the gate keepersgatekeepers, and the offering for the priests.
Ne 13:18 Isn’t this the way your ancestors acted, causing our God to bring on them and on this city all this misfortune? And now you are causing even more wrath on Israel, profaning the Sabbath like this!” !”
Esther
Es 1:1 The following events happened in the days of Ahasuerus. (I am referring to that Ahasuerus who used to rule over a hundred and twenty-seven127 provinces extending all the way from India to Ethiopia. )
Es 1:4 He displayed the riches of his royal glory and the splendor of his majestic greatness for a lengthy period of time – a hundred and eighty—180 days, to be exact!
Es 1:8 There were no restrictions on the drinking, for the king had instructed all of his supervisors that they should do as everyone so desired.
Es 1:18 And this very day the noble ladies of Persia and Media who have heard the matter concerning the queen will respond in the same way to all the royal officials, and there will be more than enough contempt and anger!.
Es 1:20 And let the king’s decision whichthat he will enact be disseminated throughout all his kingdom, vast though it is. Then all the women will give honor to their husbands, from the most prominent to the lowly.”
Es 1:22 He sent letters throughout all the royal provinces, to each province according to its own script and to each people according to itstheir own language, that every man should be ruling his family and should be speaking the language of his own people. Esther Becomes Queen in Vashti’s Place
Es 3:12 So the royal scribes were summoned in the first month, on the thirteenth day of the month. Everything Haman commanded was written to the king’s satraps and governors who were in every province and to the officials of every people, province by province according to its script and people by people according to itstheir language. In the name of King Ahasuerus it was written and sealed with the king’s signet ring.
Es 3:15 The messengers scurried forth with the king’s order. The edict was issued in Susa the citadel. While the king and Haman sat down to drink, the city of Susa was in an uproar!. Esther Decides to Risk Everything in order to Help Her People
Es 4:2 But he went no furtherfarther than the king’s gate, for no one was permitted to enter the king’s gate clothed in sackcloth.
Es 4:11 “All the servants of the king and the people of the king’s provinces know that there is only one law applicable to any man or woman who comes uninvited to the king in the inner court—that person will be put to death, unless the king extends to him the gold scepter, permitting him to be spared. Now I have not been invited to come to the king for some thirty days!”.”
Es 4:16 “Go, assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa, and fast inon my behalf. Don’t eat and don’t drink for three days, night or day. My female attendants and I will also fast in the same way. Afterward I will go to the king, even though it violates the law. If I perish, I perish!”.”
Es 5:3 The king said to her, “What is on your mind, Queen Esther? What is your request? Even as much as half the kingdom will be given to you!”.”
Es 5:4 Esther replied, “If the king is so inclined, let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for himthe king.”
Es 5:6 While at the banquet of wine, the king said to Esther, “What is your request? It shall be given to you. What is your petition? Ask for as much as half the kingdom, and it shall be done!”.”
Es 5:8 If I have found favor in the king’s sight and if the king is inclined to grant my request and performapprove my petition, let the king and Haman come tomorrow to the banquet that I will prepare for them. At that time I will do as the king wishes.” Haman Expresses His Hatred of Mordecai
Es 5:9 Now Haman went forth that day pleased and very much encouraged. But when Haman saw Mordecai at the king’s gate, and he did not rise noror tremble in his presence, Haman was filled with rage toward Mordecai.
Es 5:12 Haman said, “Furthermore, Queen Esther invited only me to accompany the king to the banquet that she prepared!. And also tomorrow I am invited along with the king.
Es 5:13 Yet all of this fails to satisfy me so long as I have to see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
Es 5:14 Haman’s wife Zeresh and all his friends said to him, “Have a gallows seventy-five75 feet high built, and in the morning tell the king that Mordecai should be hanged on it. Then go with the king to the banquet contented.” It seemed like a good idea to Haman, so he had the gallows built. The Turning Point: The King Honors Mordecai
Es 6:8 let them bring royal attire which the king himself has worn and a horse on which the king himself has ridden—one bearing the royal insignia!.
Es 7:2 On the second day of the banquet of wine the king asked Esther, “What is your request, Queen Esther? It shall be granted to you. And what is your petition? Ask for up to half the kingdom, and it shall be done!”.”
Es 7:4 For we have been sold —both I and my people—to destruction and to slaughter and to annihilation!. If we had simply been sold as male and female slaves, I would have remained silent, for such distress would not have been sufficient for troubling the king.”
Es 7:8 When the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet of wine, Haman was throwing himself down on the couch where Esther was lying. The king exclaimed, “Will he also attempt to rape the queen while I am still in the building!”?”As these words left the king’s mouth, they covered Haman’s face.
Es 7:9 Harbona, one of the king’s eunuchs, said, “Indeed, there is the gallows that Haman made for Mordecai, who spoke out inon the king’s behalf. It stands near Haman’s home and is seventy-five75 feet high.”The king said, “Hang him on it!”
Es 8:8 Now you write in the king’s name whatever in your opinion is appropriate concerning the Jews and seal it with the king’s signet ring. Any decree that is written in the king’s name and sealed with the king’s signet ring cannot be rescinded..”
Es 8:9 The king’s scribes were quickly summoned—in the third month (that is, the month of Sivan), on the twenty-third day. They wrote out everything that Mordecai instructed to the Jews, and to the satraps, and the governors, and the officials of the provinces all the way from India to Ethiopia – a hundred and twenty-seven—127 provinces in all—to each province in its own script and to each people in their own language, and to the Jews according to their own script and their own language.
Es 8:10 Mordecai wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed it with the king’s signet ring. He then sent letters by couriers on horses, who rode royal horses that were very swift.
Es 8:13 A copy of the edict was to be presented as law throughout each and every province and made known to all peoples, so that the Jews might be prepared on that day to avenge themselves fromon their enemies.
Es 9:6 In Susa the citadel the Jews killed and destroyed five hundred500 men.
Es 9:12 Then the king said to Queen Esther, “In Susa the citadel the Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred500 men and the ten sons of Haman!. What then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? What is your request? It shall be given to you. What other petition do you have? It shall be done.”
Es 9:15 The Jews who were in Susa then assembled on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar, and they killed three hundred300 men in Susa. But they did not confiscate their property.
Es 9:16 The rest of the Jews who were throughout the provinces of the king assembled in order to stand up for themselves and to have rest from their enemies. They killed seventy-five thousand75,000 of their adversaries, but they did not confiscate their property.
Es 9:17 All of this happened on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar. They then rested on the fourteenth day and made it a day for banqueting and happiness. The Origins of the Feast of Purim

Ecclesiastes
Ec 1:2 “Futile! Futile!” laments the Teacher,. “Absolutely futile! Everything is futile!” Futility Illustrated from Nature
Ec 1:8 All this monotony is tiresome; no one can bear to describe it:. The eye is never satisfied with seeing, nor is the ear ever content with hearing.
Ec 1:10 Is there anything about which someone can say, “Look at this! It is new!”?”? It was already done long ago, before our time.
Ec 1:17 So I decided to discern the benefit of wisdom and knowledge over foolish behavior and ideas; however, I concluded that even this endeavor is like trying to chase the wind!.
Ec 2:8 I also amassed silver and gold for myself,as well as valuable treasures taken from kingdoms and provinces. I acquired male singers and female singers for myself,and what gives a man sensual delight —a harem of beautiful concubines!.
Ec 2:9 So I was far wealthier than all my predecessors in Jerusalem,yet I maintained my objectivity:.
Ec 2:19 Who knows if he will be a wise man or a fool?Yet he will be master over all the fruit of my labor for which I worked so wisely on earth!. This also is futile!
Ec 2:23 For all day long his work produces pain and frustration, and even at night his mind cannot relax!. This also is futile! Enjoy Work and its Benefits
Ec 3:3 Aa time to kill, and a time to heal;a time to break down, and a time to build up;
Ec 3:4 Aa time to weep, and a time to laugh;a time to mourn, and a time to dance.
Ec 3:6 Aa time to search, and a time to give something up as lost; a time to keep, and a time to throw away;
Ec 3:7 Aa time to rip, and a time to sew;a time to keep silent, and a time to speak.
Ec 3:17 I thought to myself, “God will judge both the righteous and the wicked;for there is an appropriate time for every activity,and there is a time of judgment for every deed..”
Ec 3:21 Who really knows if the human spirit ascends upward,and the animal’s spirit descends into the earth??”
Ec 4:12 Although an assailant may overpower one person,two can withstand him.Moreover, a three-stranded cord is not quickly broken. Labor Motivated by Prestige -Seeking
Ec 5:6 Do not let your mouth cause you to sin,and do not tell the priest, “It was a mistake!” Why make God angry at you so that he would destroy the work of your hands?”?
Ec 5:7 Just as there is futility in many dreams,so also in many words. Therefore, fear God!. Government Corruption
Ec 5:18 I have seen personally what is the only beneficial and appropriate course of action for people: to eat and drink, and find enjoyment in all their hard work on earth during the few days of their life whichthat God has given them,for this is their reward.
Ec 5:19 To every man whom God has given wealth, and possessions,he has also given him the ability to eat from them, to receive his reward, and to find enjoyment in his toil;these things are the gift of God.
Ec 6:3 Even if a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years –, even if he lives a long, long time, but cannot enjoy his prosperity—even if he were to live forever —I would say, “A stillborn child is better off than he is!”.”
Ec 6:7 All of man’s labor is for nothing more than to fill his stomach —yet his appetite is never satisfied!
Ec 6:12 For no one knows what is best for a person during his life —during the few days of his fleeting life—for they pass away like a shadow.Nor can anyone tell him what the future will hold for him on earth. Life is Brief and Death is Certain!
Ec 8:15 So I recommend the enjoyment of life, for there is nothing better on earth for a person to do except to eat, drink, and enjoy life. So joy will accompany him in his toilduring the days of his life whichthat God gives him on earth. Limitations of Human Wisdom
Ec 9:12 Surely, no one knows his appointed time!. Like fish that are caught in a deadly net, and like birds that are caught in a snare—just like them, all people are ensnared at an unfortunate time that falls upon them suddenly. Most People Are Not Receptive to Wise Counsel
Ec 10:16 Woe to you, O land, when your king is childish, and your princes feast in the morning!.
Song of Solomon
So 2:3 Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest,so is my beloved among the young men.I delight to sit in his shade, and his fruit is sweet to my taste. The Banquet Hall for the Love-SickLovesickThe Beloved about Her Lover:

So 6:4 My darling, you are as beautiful as Tirzah, as lovely as Jerusalem, as awe-inspiring as bannered armies!.
So 6:9 But she is unique!, Mymy dove, my perfect one!She is the special daughter of her mother,;she is the favorite of the one who bore her.The maidens saw her and complimented her; the queens and concubines praised her:

Is 7:19 All of them will come and make their home in the ravines between the cliffs, and in the crevices of the cliffs, in all the thorn bushes, and in all the watering holes.
Is 7:23 At that time every place where there had been a thousand1,000 vines worth a thousand1,000 silver shekels will be overrun with thorns and briers.
Is 7:24 With bow and arrow menpeople will hunt there, for the whole land will be covered with thorns and briers.
Is 7:25 They will stay away from all the hills that were cultivated, for fear of the thorns and briers. Cattle will graze there, and sheep will trample on them. A Sign-Child is Born for a Sign

Is 10:16 For this reason the Sovereign Lord of Heaven’s Armies , will make his healthy ones emaciated. His majestic glory will go up in smoke.
Is 10:23 The Sovereign Lord of Heaven’s Armies, is certainly ready to carry out the decreed destruction throughout the land.
Is 10:24 So here is what the Sovereign Lord of Heaven’s Armies, says: “My people who live in Zion, do not be afraid of Assyria, even though they beat you with a club and lift their cudgel against you as Egypt did.

Is 15:3 In their streets they wear sackcloth;on their roofs and in their town squaresall of them wail,;they fall down weeping.

Is 26:20 Go, my people! Enter your inner rooms!Close your doors behind you!Hide for a little while,until his angry judgment is over!.
Is 27:5 unless they became my subjects and made peace with me;let them make peace with me..”
Is 27:7 Has the Lord struck down Israel likeas he did their oppressors? Has Israel been killed like their enemies?
Is 27:13 At that time a large trumpet will be blown, and the ones lost in the land of Assyria will come, as well as the refugees in the land of Egypt. They will worship the Lord on the holy mountain in Jerusalem. The Lord Will Judge SamariaEphraim

Is 30:32 Every blow from his punishing cudgel, with which the Lord will beat them, will be accompanied by music from the tambourine and harp,and he will attack them with his weapons.
Is 31:1 Those who go down to Egypt for help are as good as dead,; those who rely on war horses,and trust in Egypt’s many chariots and in their many, many horsemen. But they do not rely on the Holy One of Israel and do not seek help from the Lord.

Is 37:35 I will shield this city and rescue it for the sake of my reputation and because of my promise to David my servant.”’”
Is 37:36 The Lord’s angel of the Lord went out and killed 185,000 troops in the Assyrian camp. When they got up early the next morning, there were all the corpses!
Is 38:5 “Go and tell Hezekiah: ‘This is what the Lord God of your ancestor David says: “I have heard your prayer; I have seen your tears. Look, I will add fifteen years to your life,.
Is 38:6 andI will also rescue you and this city from the king of Assyria. I will shield this city.”’”
Is 38:12 My dwelling place is removed and taken away from melikeas a shepherd’s tent.I rolled up my life like a weaver rolls cloth; from the loom he cuts me off. You turn day into night and end my life.

Jeremiah
Je 1:15 For I will soon summon all the peoples of the kingdoms of the north,” says the Lord. “They will come and their kings will set up their thrones near the entrances of the gates of Jerusalem. They will attack all the walls surrounding it, and all the towns in Judah.
Je 1:16 In this way I will pass sentence on the people of Jerusalem and Judah because of all their wickedness. For they rejected me and offered sacrifices to other gods, worshiping what they made with their own hands.”.
Je 2:3 Israel was set apart to the Lord; they were like the first fruitsfirstfruits of a harvest to him. All who tried to devour them were punished; disaster came upon them,” says the Lord.’”The Lord Reminds Them of the Unfaithfulness of Their Ancestors
Je 2:4 Now listen to what the Lord’s message, you descendants of Jacob,all you family groups from the nation of Israel.
Je 2:6 They did not ask:,‘Where is the Lord who delivered us out of Egypt,who brought us through the wilderness,through a land of valleys and gorges, through a land of desert and deep darkness, through a land in which no one travels,and where no one lives?’
Je 2:12 Be amazed at this, O heavens!. Be shocked and utterly dumbfounded,”says the Lord.
Je 2:13 “Do so because my people have committed a double wrong:theyThey have rejected me,the fountain of life-giving water, and they have dug cisterns for themselves,cracked cisterns whichthat cannot even hold water.”. Israel’s Reliance on Foreign Alliances (not on God)
Je 2:29 “Why do you try to refute me? All of you have rebelled against me,”says the Lord.
Je 2:30 “It did no good for me to punish your people.They did not respond to such correction.You slaughtered your prophetslike a voracious lion.”.
Je 2:31 You people of this generation, listen to the Lord’s message.:“Have I been like a wilderness to you, Israel?Have I been like a dark and dangerous land to you? Why then do you say, ‘We are free to wander. We will not come to you any moreanymore?’
Je 3:3 That is why the rains have been withheld,and the spring rains have not come.Yet in spite of this you are obstinate as a prostitute. You refuse to be ashamed of what you have done.
Je 3:12 “Go and shout this message to my people in the countries in the north. Tell them,: ‘Come back to me, wayward Israel,’ says the Lord.‘I will not continue to look on you with displeasure. For I am merciful,’ says the Lord.‘I will not be angry with you forever.
Je 3:13 However, you must confess that you have done wrong, and that you have rebelled against the Lord your God.You must confess that you have given yourself to foreign gods under every green tree,and have not obeyed my commands,’ says the Lord.
Je 3:16 In those days, your population will greatly increase in the land. At that time,” says the Lord, “people will no longer talk about having the ark that contains the Lord’s covenant with us. They will not call it to mind, remember it, or miss it. No, that will not be done any moreanymore!
Je 3:19 “I thought to myself, ‘Oh what a joy it would be for me to treat you like a son! What a joy it would be for me to give you a pleasant land,the most beautiful piece of property there is in all the world!’ I thought you would call me, ‘Father’ and would never cease being loyal to me.
Je 3:24 From earliest times our worship of that shameful god, Baal, has taken away all that our ancestors worked for.It has taken away our flocks and our herds,and even our sons and daughters.
Je 4:4 Commit yourselves to the Lord;Dedicatededicate your hearts to me, people of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem.Otherwise, my anger will blaze up like a flaming fire against youthat no one will be able to extinguish.That will happen because of the evil you have done.” Warning of Coming Judgment
Je 4:8 So put on sackcloth!Mourn and wail, saying,‘The fierce anger of the Lordhas not turned away from us!’”
Je 4:9 “When this happens,” says the Lord,“the king and his officials will lose their courage.The priests will be struck with horror,and the prophets will be speechless in astonishment.”
Je 4:11 “At that time the people of Judah and Jerusalem will be told,‘“A scorching wind will sweep downfrom the hilltops in the wilderness on my dear people. It will not be a gentle breezefor winnowing the grain and blowing away the chaff.
Je 4:12 No, a wind too strong for that will come at my bidding.Yes, even now I, myself, am calling down judgment on them.’
Je 4:14 “OhO people of Jerusalem, purify your hearts from evil so that you may yet be delivered.How long will you continue to harbor upwicked schemes within you?
Je 4:16 They are saying, ‘“Announce to the surrounding nations, “‘The enemy is coming!”!’ Proclaim this message to Jerusalem:“‘Those who besiege cities are coming from a distant land.They are ready to raise the battle cry against the towns in Judah.”.’
Je 4:21 “How long must I see the enemy’s battle flagsand hear the military signals of their bugles?”
Je 4:23 “I looked at the land and saw that it was an empty wasteland. I looked up at the sky, and its light had vanished.
Je 4:25 I looked and saw that there were no more people, and that all the birds in the sky had flown away.
Je 4:26 I looked and saw that the fruitful land had become a desertand that all of the cities had been laid in ruins.The Lord had brought this all aboutbecause of his blazing anger.
Je 5:14 Because of that, the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, said to me,: “Because these people have spoken like this, I will make the words that I put in your mouth like fire.And I will make this people like wood, which the fiery judgments you speak will burn up.”
Je 5:16 All of its soldiers are strong and mighty. Their arrows will send you to your grave.
Je 5:22 “‘You should fear me!”!’ says the Lord.“‘You should tremble in awe before me! I made the sand to be a boundary for the sea,a permanent barrier that it can never cross.Its waves may roll, but they can never prevail.They may roar, but they can never cross beyond that boundary.”.’
Je 5:24 They do not say to themselves, “‘Let us revere the Lord our God.It is he who gives us the autumn rains and the spring rains at the proper time.It is he who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.”
Je 5:26 “Indeed, there are wicked scoundrels among my people.They lie in wait like bird catchers hiding in ambush. They set deadly traps to catch people.
Je 5:30 “Something horrible and shockingis going on in the land of Judah:
Je 6:3 Kings will attack ither with their armies. They will encamp in siege all around ither. Each of them will devastate the portion assigned to him.
Je 6:6 All of this is because the Lord of Heaven’s Armies has said:‘Cut down the trees around Jerusalemand build up a siege ramp against its walls. This is the city whichthat is to be punished. Nothing but oppression happens in it.
Je 6:17 The Lord said, “I appointed prophets as watchmen to warn you, saying:,‘Pay attention to the warning sound of the trumpet!’” But they said, “We will not pay attention!”
Je 6:21 So, this is what the Lord says:‘“I will assuredly make these people stumble to their doom. Parents and children will stumble and fall to their destruction. Friends and neighbors will die.’.”
Je 6:22 “This is what the Lord says:‘“Beware! An army is coming from a land in the north.A mighty nation is stirring into action in faraway parts of the earth.
Je 6:23 Its soldiers are armed with bows and spears.They are cruel and show no mercy.They sound like the roaring seaas they ride forth on their horses.Lined up in formation like men going into battleto attack you, Daughter Zion.’”.”
Je 6:24 The people cry out, “We have heard reports about them!.We have become helpless with fear! Anguish grips us,agony like that of a woman giving birth to a baby!
Je 7:7 If you stop doing these things, I will allow you to continue to live in this land whichthat I gave to your ancestors as a lasting possession.
Je 7:14 So I will destroy this temple whichthat I have claimed as my own, this temple that you are trusting to protect you. I will destroy this place that I gave to you and your ancestors, just like I destroyed Shiloh.
Je 7:15 And I will drive you out of my sight just like I drove out your relatives, the people of Israel.’”
Je 7:16 “But as for you, Jeremiah, do not pray for these people!. Do not raise a cry of prayer for them! Do not plead with me to save them, because I will not listen to you.
Je 7:19 But I am not really the one being troubled!”! says the Lord. “Rather they are bringing trouble on themselves to their own shame!
Je 7:20 So,”, the Sovereign Lord says, “my raging fury will be poured out on this land. It will be poured out on human beings and animals, on trees and crops. And it will burn like a fire whichthat cannot be extinguished.”.
Je 7:21 “The Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says to the people of Judah: : ‘You might as well go ahead and add the meat of your burnt offerings to that of the other sacrifices and eat it, too!
Je 7:29 So, mourn, you people of this nation. Cut off your hair and throw it away. Sing a song of mourning on the hilltops. For the Lord has decided to reject and forsake this generation that has provoked his wrath!’”
Je 7:30 The Lord says, “I have rejected them because the people of Judah have done what I consider evil. They have set up their disgusting idols in the temple whichthat I have claimed for my own and have defiled it.
Je 7:34 I will put an end to the sounds of joy and gladness, or the glad celebration of brides and grooms throughout the towns of Judah and the streets of Jerusalem. For the whole land will become a desolate wasteland.”
Je 8:2 They will be spread out and exposed to the sun, the moon, and the stars. These are things they adored and served, things to which they paid allegiance, from which they sought guidance,and worshiped. The bones of these people will never be regathered and reburied. They will be like manure used to fertilize the ground.
Je 8:10 So I will give their wives to other menand their fields to new owners.For from the least important to the most important of them,all of them are greedy for dishonest gain.Prophets and priests alike,all practice deceit.
Je 8:11 They offer only superficial help for the hurt my dear people have suffered. They say, “Everything will be all right!”But everything is not all right!.
Je 8:12 Are they ashamed because they have done such disgusting things?No, they are not at all ashamed!They do not even know how to blush!.So they will die just like others have died. They will be brought to ruin when I punish them,says the Lord.
Je 8:16 The snorting of the enemy’s horsesis already being heard in the city of Dan.The sound of the neighing of their stallions causes the whole land to tremble with fear.They are coming to destroy the land and everything in it!.They are coming to destroy the cities and everyone who lives in them!”.”
Je 8:17 The Lord says, “Yes indeed, I am sending an enemy against youthat will be like poisonous snakes whichthat cannot be charmed away. And they will inflict fatal wounds on you.”
Je 8:19 I hear my dear people crying out throughout the length and breadth of the land. They are crying, ‘Is the Lord no longer in Zion?Is her divine King no longer there?’”The Lord answers, “Why then do they provoke me to anger with their images,with their worthless foreign idols?”?
Je 8:20 “They cry, ‘Harvest time has come and gone, and the summer is over, and still we have not been delivered.’
Je 9:2 (9:1) I wish I had a lodging place in the wildernesswhere I could spend some time like a weary traveler. Then I would desert my peopleand walk away from thembecause they are all unfaithful to God,a congregation of people that has been disloyal to him..” The Lord Laments That He Has No Choice But to Judge Them
Je 9:4 Everyone must be on his guard around his friends.He must not even trust any of his relatives. For every one of them will find some way to cheat him. And all of his friends will tell lies about him.
Je 9:7 Therefore the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, says: “I will now purify them in the fires of affliction and test them.The wickedness of my dear people has left me no choice.What else can I do?
Je 9:8 Their tongues are like deadly arrows. They are always telling lies. Friendly words for their neighbors come from their mouths.,Butbut their minds are thinking up ways to trap them.
Je 9:10 I said, “I will weep and mourn for the grasslands on the mountains,; I will sing a mournful song for the pastures in the wildernessbecause they are so scorched no one travels through them.The sound of livestock is no longer heard there.Even the birds in the sky and the wild animals in the fieldshave fled and are gone.”
Je 9:13 The Lord answered, “This has happened because these people have rejected my laws whichthat I gave them. They have not obeyed me or followed those laws.
Je 9:15 So then, listen to what I, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, say., ‘I will make these people eat the bitter food of suffering and drink the poison water of judgment.
Je 9:17 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies told me to say to this people,: “Take note of what I say. Call for the women who mourn for the dead!Summon those who are the most skilled at it!”
Je 9:19 For the sound of wailing is soon to be heard in Zion,‘We are utterly ruined! We are completely disgraced!For we have left our land!,Forfor our houses have been torn down!’”
Je 9:22 Tell your daughters and neighbors, ‘The Lord says,:“The dead bodies of people will lie scattered everywherelike manure scattered on a field.They will lie scattered on the ground like grain that has been cut down but has not been gathered.”’”
Je 10:2 The Lord says,:“Do not start following pagan religious practices. Do not be in awe of signs that occur in the skyeven though the nations hold them in awe.
Je 10:6 I said, “There is no one like you, Lord. You are great.,Andand you are renowned for your power.
Je 10:16 The Lord, who is the inheritance of Jacob’s descendants, is not like them.He is the one who created everything.And the people of Israel are those he claims as his own. His name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.” Jeremiah Laments for and Prays for the People Soon -to -be -Judged People
Je 10:18 For the Lord says, “‘I will now throw outthose who live in this land.I will bring so much trouble on themthat they will actually feel it.”.’
Je 10:19 And I cried out, “‘We are doomed! Our wound is severe!’We once thought, ‘This is only an illness.And we will be able to bear it!.’
Je 10:25 Vent your anger on the nations that do not acknowledge you. Vent it on the peoples who do not worship you. For they have destroyed the people of Jacob. They have completely destroyed them and left their homeland in utter ruin..” The People Have Violated Their Covenant with God
Je 11:4 Those are the terms that I charged your ancestors to keep when I brought them out of Egypt, that place whichthat was like an iron-smelting furnace. I said at that time, “Obey me and carry out the terms of the covenant exactly as I commanded you. If you do, you will be my people and I will be your God.
Je 11:5 Then I will keep the promise I swore on oath to your ancestors to give them a land flowing with milk and honey.” That is the very land that you still live in today.’” And I responded, “Amen!. Let it be so, , Lord!”.”
Je 11:9 The Lord said to me, “The people of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem have plotted rebellion against me!.
Je 11:11 So I, the Lord, say this: ‘I will soon bring disaster on them whichthat they will not be able to escape! When they cry out to me for help, I will not listen to them.
Je 11:19 Before this I had been like a docile lamb ready to be led to the slaughter. I did not know they were making plans to kill me. I did not know they were saying, “Let’s destroy the tree along with its fruit! Let’s remove Jeremiah from the world of the livingso people will not even be reminded of him any moreanymore.”
Je 12:6 As a matter of fact, even your own brothers and the members of your own family have betrayed you tooas well. Even they have plotted to do away with you. So do not trust them even when they say kind things to you.
Je 12:8 The people I call my own have turned on melike a lion in the forest.They have roared defiantly at me., Soso I will treat them as though I hate them.
Je 12:11 They will lay it waste.It will lie parched and empty before me.The whole land will be laid waste.,Butbut no one living in it will pay any heed.
Je 13:10 These wicked people refuse to obey what I have said. They follow the stubborn inclinations of their own hearts and pay allegiance to other gods by worshiping and serving them. So they will become just like these linen shorts whichthat are good for nothing.
Je 13:12 “So tell them, ‘The Lord, the God of Israel, says,: “Every wine jar is made to be filled with wine.”’ And they will probably say to you, ‘Do you not think we know that every wine jar is supposed to be filled with wine?’
Je 13:13 Then tell them, ‘The Lord says,: “I will soon fill all the people who live in this land with stupor. I will also fill the kings from David’s dynasty, the priests, the prophets, and the citizens of Jerusalem with stupor.
Je 13:15 Then I said to the people of Judah,: “Listen and pay attention! Do not be arrogant!For the Lord has spoken.
Je 13:18 The Lord told me,: “Tell the king and the queen mother,‘Surrender your thrones, for your glorious crownswill be removed from your heads.
Je 14:21 For the honor of your name, do not treat Jerusalem with contempt.Do not treat with disdain the place where your glorious throne sits. Be mindful of your covenant with us. Do not break it!.
Je 15:2 If they ask you, ‘Where should we go?’ tell them the Lord says this:“Those who are destined to die of disease will go to death by disease.Those who are destined to die in war will go to death in war.Those who are destined to die of starvation will go to death by starvation.Those who are destined to go into exile will go into exile.”.
Je 15:3 “I will punish them in four different ways: I will have war kill them.; I will have dogs drag off their dead bodies.; I will have birds and wild beasts devour and destroy their corpses.
Je 15:6 I, the Lord, say: ‘You people have deserted me!;Youyou keep turning your back on me.’ So I have unleashed my power against you and have begun to destroy you. I have grown tired of feeling sorry for you!”
Je 15:10 I said, “Oh, mother, how I regret that you ever gave birth to me!I am always starting arguments and quarrels with the people of this land. I have not lent money to anyone and I have not borrowed from anyone.Yet all of these people are treating me with contempt.”
Je 16:9 For I, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, tell you what will happen. I will put an end to the sounds of joy and gladness, to the glad celebration of brides and grooms in this land. You and the rest of the people will live to see this happen.’” The Lord Promises Exile (But Also Restoration)
Je 16:21 The Lord said, “So I will now let this wicked people know—I will let them know my mighty power in judgment.Then they will know that my name is the Lord.”.
Je 17:4 You will lose your hold on the land whichthat I gave to you as a permanent possession.I will make you serve your enemies in a land that you know nothing about.For you have made my anger burn like a fire that will never be put out.” Individuals Are Challenged to Put Their Trust in the Lord
Je 17:15 Listen to what they are saying to me. ,They are saying, “‘Where are the things the Lord threatens us with?Come on! Let’s see themMay it please happen!”!’@@@
Je 17:21 The Lord says, ‘Be very careful if you value your lives! Do not carry any loads in through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day.
Je 18:13 Therefore, the Lord says,“Ask the people of other nationswhether they have heard of anything like this.Israel should have been like a virgin.,Butbut she has done something utterly revolting!
Je 18:15 Yet my people have forgotten meand offered sacrifices to worthless idols!.This makes them stumble along in the way they liveand leave the old reliable path of their fathers. They have left them to walk in bypaths,in roads that are not smooth and level.
Je 18:23 But you, Lord, knowall their plots to kill me.Do not pardon their crimes!Do not ignore their sins as though you had erased them!. Let them be brought down in defeat before you!.Deal with them while you are still angry! An Object Lesson from a Broken Clay Jar
Je 19:2 Go out to the part of the Hinnom Valley whichthat is near the entrance of the Potsherd Gate. Announce there what I tell you.
Je 19:3 Say, ‘Listen to the Lord’s message, you kings of Judah and citizens of Jerusalem! This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, has said, “Look here.! I am about to bring a disaster on this place that will make the ears of everyone who hears about it ring!.
Je 19:4 I will do so because these people have rejected me and have defiled this place. They have offered sacrifices in it to other gods whichthat neither they nor their ancestors nor the kings of Judah knew anything about. They have filled it with the blood of innocent children.
Je 19:5 They have built places here for worship of the god Baal so that they could sacrifice their children as burnt offerings to him in the fire. Such sacrifices are something I never commanded them to make!. They are something I never told them to do! Indeed, such a thing never even entered my mind!.
Je 19:11 Tell them the Lord of Heaven’s Armies says, ‘I will do just as Jeremiah has done. I will smash this nation and this city as though it were a potter’s vessel whichthat is broken beyond repair. The dead will be buried here in Topheth until there is no more room to bury them.’
Je 20:2 When he heard Jeremiah’s prophecy, he had the prophet flogged. Then he put him in the stocks whichthat were at the Upper Gate of Benjamin in the Lord’s temple.
Je 20:9 Sometimes I think, “I will make no mention of his message.I will not speak as his messenger any moreanymore.”But then his message becomes like a firelocked up inside of me, burning in my heart and soul. I grow weary of trying to hold it in;I cannot contain it.
Je 20:10 I hear many whispering words of intrigue against me.Those who would cause me terror are everywhere! They are saying, “Come on, let’s publicly denounce him!” All my so-called friends are just watching for something that would lead to my downfall. They say, “Perhaps he can be enticed into slipping up,so we can prevail over him and get our revenge on him..”
Je 21:5 In anger, in fury, and in wrath I myself will fight against you with my mighty power and great strength!.
Je 21:6 I will kill everything living in Jerusalem, people and animals alike!. They will die from terrible diseases.
Je 21:11 The Lord told me to say to the royal court of Judah,: “Listen to the Lord’s message,
Je 21:13 Listen, you who sit enthroned above the valley on a rocky plateau.I am opposed to you,’ says the Lord. ‘You boast, “No one can swoop down on usbefore "such" and "in the context.".us.No one can penetrate into our places of refuge.”
Je 22:6 “‘“For the Lord says concerning the palace of the king of Judah,““‘This place looks like a veritable forest of Gilead to me.It is like the wooded heights of Lebanon in my eyes.But I swear that I will make it like a wildernesswhose towns have all been deserted.
Je 22:16 He upheld the cause of the poor and needy.So things went well for Judah.’ The Lord says,‘That is a good example of what it means to know me.’
Je 22:18 So the Lord has this to say about Josiah’s son, King Jehoiakim of Judah:“People will not mourn for him, saying,“‘This makes me sad, my brother! This makes me sad, my sister!”!’They will not mourn for him, saying,“‘Poor, poor lord! Poor, poor majesty!”!’
Je 22:19 He will be left unburied just like a dead donkey.His body will be dragged off and thrown outside the gates of Jerusalem.’” Warning to Jerusalem
Je 22:21 While you were feeling secure I gave you warning. But you said, “‘I refuse to listen to you.”.’That is the way you have acted from your earliest history onward. Indeed, you have never paid attention to me.
Je 22:23 You may feel as secure as a birdnesting in the cedars of Lebanon.But ohO how you will groan when the pains of judgment come on you.They will be like those of a woman giving birth to a baby..” Jeconiah Will Be Permanently Exiled
Je 22:27 You will never come back to this land to whichthat you will long to return!” to!
Je 22:29 O Land, land, land, of Judah! listenListen to the Lord’s message!.
Je 23:1 The Lord says, “The leaders of my people are sure to be judged. They were supposed to watch over my people like shepherds watch over their sheep. But they are causing my people to be destroyed and scattered..”
Je 23:11 Moreover, the Lord says, “Both the prophets and priests are godless.I have even found them doing evil in my temple!.
Je 23:20 The anger of the Lord will not turn backuntil he has fully carried out his intended purposes. In future days to come you people will come to understand this clearly.
Je 23:21 I did not send those prophets.,Yetyet they were in a hurry to give their message. I did not tell them anything.,Yetyet they prophesied anyway.
Je 23:29 My message is like a fire that purges dross!. It is like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces!. I, the Lord, so affirm it!
Je 23:31 I, the Lord, affirm that I am opposed to those prophets who are using their own tongues to declare, ‘The Lord declares…..’
Je 23:33 The Lord said to me, “Jeremiah, when one of these people, or a prophet, or a priest asks you, ‘What burdensome message do you have from the Lord?’Tell’ Tell them, ‘You are the burden, and I will cast you away. I, the Lord, affirm it!
Je 23:38 But just suppose you continue to say, ‘The message of the Lord is burdensome.’ Here is what the Lord says will happen: ‘I sent word to you that you must not say, “The Lord’s message is burdensome.” But you used the words, “The Lord’s message is burdensome”,” anyway.
Je 23:40 I will bring on you lasting shame and lasting disgrace whichthat will never be forgotten!’” Good Figs and Bad Figs
Je 25:9 So I, the Lord, affirm that I will send for all the peoples of the north and my servant, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. I will bring them against this land and its inhabitants and all the nations that surround it. I will utterly destroy thisthe land, its inhabitants, and all the surrounding nations that surround it and make them everlasting ruins. I will make them objects of horror and hissing scorn.
Je 25:10 I will put an end to the sounds of joy and gladness, to and the glad celebration of brides and grooms in these lands. I will put an end to the sound of people grinding meal. I will put an end to lamps shining in their houses.
Je 25:14 For many nations and great kings will make slaves of the king of Babylon and his nation too. I will repay them for all they have done!.’” Judah and the Nations Will Experience God’s Wrath
Je 25:15 So the Lord, the God of Israel, spoke to me in a vision.: “Take this cup from my hand. It is filled with the wine of my wrath. Take it and make the nations to whom I send you drink it.
Je 25:19 I made all of these other people drink it: Pharaoh, king of Egypt; his attendants, his officials, his people,
Je 25:26 all the kings of the north, whether near or far from one another; and all the other kingdoms whichthat are on the face of the earth. After all of them have drunk the wine of the Lord’s wrath, the king of Babylon must drink it.
Je 25:29 For take note, I am already beginning to bring disaster on the city that I call my own. So how can you possibly avoid being punished? You will not go unpunished!. For I am proclaiming war against all who live on the earth. I, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, affirm it!’
Je 26:2 The Lord said, “Go stand in the courtyard of the Lord’s temple. Speak out to all the people who are coming from the towns of Judah to worship in the Lord’s temple. Tell them everything I command you to tell them. Do not leave out a single word!.
Je 26:4 Tell them that the Lord says, ‘You must obey me! You; you must live according to the way I have instructed you in my laws.
Je 26:8 Jeremiah had just barely finished saying all the Lord had commanded him to say to all the people. All when all at once some of the priests, the prophets, and the people grabbed him and shouted, “You deserve to die!
Je 26:18 “Micah from Moresheth prophesied during the time Hezekiah was king of Judah. He told all the people of Judah, ‘The Lord of Heaven’s Armies says,‘The Lord of Heaven’s Armies says,““‘Zion will become a plowed field.Jerusalem will become a pile of rubble.The temple mount will become a mere wooded ridge.”’
Je 27:4 Charge them to give their masters a message from me. Tell them, ‘The Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says to give your masters this message.:
Je 27:13 There is no reason why you and your people should die in war or from starvation or disease!. That’s what the Lord says will happen to any nation that will not be subject to the king of Babylon.
Je 28:1 The following events occurred in that same year, early in the reign of King Zedekiah of Judah. To be more precise, it was the fifth month of the fourth year of his reign. The prophet Hananiah son of Azzur, who was from Gibeon, spoke to Jeremiah in the Lord’s temple in the presence of the priests and all the people.:
Je 28:15 Then the prophet Jeremiah told the prophet Hananiah, “Listen, Hananiah! The Lord did not send you! You are making these people trust in a lie!.
Je 29:28 For he has even sent a message to us here in Babylon. He wrote and told us, “‘You will be there a long time. Build houses and settle down. Plant gardens and eat what they produce.”.’”’”
Je 29:30 Then the Lord’s message came to Jeremiah.:
Je 29:31 “Send a message to all the exiles in Babylon. Tell them, ‘The Lord has spoken about Shemaiah the Nehelamite.: “Shemaiah has spoken to you as a prophet even though I did not send him. He is making you trust in a lie.
Je 30:12 Moreover, the Lord says to the people of Zion,: “Your injuries are incurable;your wounds are severe.
Je 30:18 The Lord says,:“I will restore the ruined houses of the descendants of Jacob.I will show compassion on their ruined homes. Every city will be rebuilt on its former ruins. Every fortified dwelling will occupy its traditional site.
Je 30:24 The anger of the Lord will not turn backuntil he has fully carried out his intended purposes.In future days to come you will come to understand this.
Je 31:2 The Lord says,:“The people of Israel who survived death at the hands of the enemy will find favor in the wildernessas they journey to find rest for themselves.
Je 31:3 In a far-offfaraway land the Lord will manifest himself to them.He will say to them, ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love.That is why I have continued to be faithful to you.
Je 31:7 Moreover, the Lord says,:“Sing for joy for the descendants of Jacob.Utter glad shouts for that foremost of the nations. Make your praises heard. Then say, ‘Lord, rescue your people.Deliver those of Israel who remain alive.’
Je 31:15 The Lord says,:“A sound is heard in Ramah, a sound of crying in bitter grief.It is the sound of Rachel weeping for her childrenand refusing to be comforted, because her children are gone.”
Je 31:16 The Lord says to her, “Stop crying! Do not shed any more tears!. For your heartfelt repentance will be rewarded.Your children will return from the land of the enemy.I, the Lord, affirm it!
Je 31:26 Then they will say, ‘Under these conditions I can enjoy sweet sleepwhen I wake up and look around.’” Israel and Judah Will Be Repopulated
Je 31:28 In the past I saw to it that they were uprooted and torn down, that they were destroyed and demolished and brought disaster. But now I will see to it that they are built up and firmly planted. I, the Lord, affirm it!”! The Lord Will Make a New Covenant with Israel and Judah
Je 32:8 And then my cousin Hanamel did come to me in the courtyard of the guardhouse in keeping with the Lord’s message. He said to me, ‘Buy my field whichthat is at Anathoth in the territory of the tribe of Benjamin. Buy it for yourself since you are entitled as my closest relative to take possession of it for yourself.’ When this happened, I recognized that the Lord had indeed spoken to me.
Je 32:15 For the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says, “‘Houses, fields, and vineyards will again be bought in this land.”.’ Jeremiah’s Prayer of Praise and Bewilderment
Je 32:18 You show unfailing love to thousands. But you also punish children for the sins of their parents. You are the great and powerful God whose is name is the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.
Je 32:20 You did miracles and amazing deeds in the land of Egypt whichthat have had lasting effect. By this means you gained both in Israel and among humankind a renown that lasts to this day.
Je 32:26 The Lord’s message came to Jeremiah.:
Je 32:34 They set up their disgusting idols in the temple whichthat I have claimed for my own and defiled it.
Je 32:35 They built places of worship for the god Baal in the valleyValley of Ben Hinnom so that they could sacrifice their sons and daughters to the god Molech. Such a disgusting practice was not something I commanded them to do!. It never even entered my mind to command them to do such a thing! So Judah is certainly liable for punishment.’
Je 32:37 ‘I will certainly regather my people from all the countries where I will have exiled them in my anger, fury, and great wrath. I will bring them back to this place and allow them to live here in safety.
Je 33:3 ‘Call on me in prayer and I will answer you. I will show you great and mysterious things whichthat you still do not know about.’
Je 33:4 For I, the Lord God of Israel, have something more to say about the houses in this city and the royal buildings of Judah whichthat have been torn down for defenses against the siege ramps and military incursions of the Babylonians:
Je 33:8 I will purify them from all the sin that they committed against me. I will forgive all their sins whichthat they committed in rebelling against me.
Je 33:9 All the nations will hear about all the good things whichthat I will do tofor them. This city will bring me fame, honor, and praise before them for the joy that I bring it. The nations will tremble in awe at all the peace and prosperity that I will provide for it.’
Je 33:13 I, the Lord, say that shepherds will once again count their sheep as they pass into the fold. They will do this in all the towns in the hill country, the foothills, the Negev, , the territory of Benjamin, the villages surrounding Jerusalem, and the towns of Judah.’ The Lord Reaffirms His Covenant with David, Israel, and Levi
Je 33:19 The Lord’s message came to Jeremiah another time.:
Je 33:22 I will make the children who follow one another in the line of my servant David very numerous. I will also make the Levites who minister before me very numerous. I will make them all as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sands whichthat are on the seashore.’”
Je 33:23 The Lord’s message came to Jeremiah another time.:
Je 33:26 Just as surely as I have done this, so surely will I never reject the descendants of Jacob. Nor will I ever refuse to choose one of my servant David’s descendants to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Indeed, I will restore them and show mercy to them.”.’”The Lord Makes an Ominous Promise to Zedekiah
Je 34:2 This is what the Lord God of Israel told Jeremiah, “Go, speak to King Zedekiah of Judah. Tell him, ‘This is what the Lord has said,: “Take note.! I am going to hand this city over to the king of Babylon, and he will burn it down.
Je 34:3 You yourself will not escape his clutches, but will certainly be captured and handed over to him. You must confront the king of Babylon face to face and answer to him personally. Then you must go to Babylon.”’”
Je 34:4 However, listen to the Lord’s message, King Zedekiah of Judah. This is what the Lord has said, “: ‘You will not die in battle or be executed.
Je 34:5 You will die a peaceful death. They will burn incense at your burial just as they did at the burial of your ancestors, the former kings who preceded you. They will mourn for you, saying, ‘“Alas, master!’!” Indeed, you have my own word on this. I, the Lord, affirm it!”!’”
Je 34:7 He did this while the army of the king of Babylon was attacking Jerusalem and the cities of Lachish and Azekah. He was attacking these cities because they were the only fortified cities of Judah whichthat were still holding out. The Lord Threatens to Destroy Those Who Wronged Their Slaves
Je 34:11 But later they had changed their minds. They had takentook back their male and female slaves that they had freed and forced them to be slaves again.
Je 34:13 “The Lord God of Israel has a message for you.: ‘I made a covenant with your ancestors when I brought them out of Egypt where they had been slaves. It stipulated,
Je 35:1 The Lord spoke to Jeremiah when Jehoiakim son of Josiah was ruling over Judah.:
Je 35:13 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, told him, “Go and speak to the people of Judah and the citizens of Jerusalem. Tell them, ‘I, the Lord, say: “You must learn a lesson from this about obeying what I say!.
Je 35:14 Jonadab son of Rechab ordered his descendants not to drink wine. His orders have been carried out. To this day his descendants have drunk no wine because they have obeyed what their ancestor commanded them. But I have spoken to you over and over again, but you have not obeyed me!.
Je 35:15 I sent all my servants the prophets to warn you over and over again. They said, “‘Every one of you, stop doing the evil things you have been doing and do what is right. Do not pay allegiance to other gods and worship them. Then you can continue to live in this land that I gave to you and your ancestors.”.’ But you did not pay any attention or listen to me.
Je 35:17 So I, the Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, say: “‘I will soon bring on Judah and all the citizens of Jerusalem all the disaster that I threatened to bring on them. I will do this because I spoke to them but they did not listen. I called out to them but they did not answer.”.’”’”
Je 36:1 The Lord spoke to Jeremiah in the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was ruling over Judah.:
Je 36:4 So Jeremiah summoned Baruch son of Neriah. Then, Baruch wrote down in a scroll all of the Lord’s words whichthat he had told to Jeremiah as they came from his mouth.
Je 36:8 So Baruch son of Neriah did exactly what the prophet Jeremiah had told him to do. He read what the Lord had said from the scroll in the temple of the Lord.
Je 36:9 All the people living in Jerusalem and all the people who came into Jerusalem from the towns of Judah came to observeobserved a fast before the Lord. The fast took place in the ninth month of the fifth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was ruling over Judah.
Je 36:31 I will punish him and his descendants and the officials who serve him for the wicked things they have done. I will bring on them, the citizens of Jerusalem, and the people of Judah, all the disaster that I threatened to do totold them. I will punish them because I threatened them but about and that they still paid no heedignored.”’”
Je 37:15 The officials were very angry atwith Jeremiah. They had him flogged and put in prison in the house of Jonathan, the royal secretary, which they had converted into a place for confining prisoners.
Je 37:21 Then King Zedekiah ordered that Jeremiah be committed to the courtyard of the guardhouse. He also ordered that a loaf of bread be given to him every day from the baker’sbakers’street until all the bread in the city was gone. So Jeremiah was kept in the courtyard of the guardhouse. Jeremiah Is Charged with Treason and Put in a Cistern to Die
Je 38:22 All the women who are left in the royal palace of Judah will be led out to the officers of the king of Babylon. They will taunt you saying,: ‘“‘Your trusted friends misled you; they have gotten the best of you.Now that your feet are stuck in the mud,they have turned their backs on you.’
Je 39:3 Then Nergal -Sharezer of Samgar, Nebo -Sarsekim, (who was a chief officer,), Nergal -Sharezer, (who was a high official,), and all the other officers of the king of Babylon came and set up quarters in the Middle Gate.
Je 39:5 But the Babylonian army chased after them. They caught up with Zedekiah in the rift valley plains of Jericho and captured him. They took him to King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon at Riblah in the territory of Hamath and Nebuchadnezzar passed sentence on him there.
Je 39:13 So Nebuzaradan, (the captain of the royal guard,), Nebushazban, (who was a chief officer,), Nergal -Sharezer, (who was a high official,), and all the other officers of the king of Babylon
Je 39:16 “Go and tell Ebed -Melech the Ethiopian,Nubian, ‘This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, has said, “I will carry out against this city what I promised. It will mean disaster and not good fortune for it. When that disaster happens, you will be there to see it.
Je 42:10 ‘If you will justonly stay in this land, I will build you up. I will not tear you down. I will firmly plant you. I will not uproot you. For I am filled with sorrow because of the disaster that I have brought on you.
Je 43:6 They also led off all the men, women, children, and royal princesses that Nebuzaradan, the captain of the royal guard, had left with Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam and grandson of Shaphan. This; this included the prophet Jeremiah and Baruch son of Neriah.
Je 43:8 At Tahpanhes the Lord’s message came to Jeremiah.:
Je 43:10 Then tell them, ‘The Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says, “I will bring my servant King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. I will set his throne over these stones whichthat I have buried. He will pitch his royal tent over them.
Je 44:1 The Lord spoke to Jeremiah concerning all the Judeans who were living in the land of Egypt, those in Migdol, Tahpanhes, Memphis, and in the region of southern Egypt.:
Je 44:3 This happened because of the wickedness the people living there did. They made me angry by worshiping and offering sacrificesacrifices to other gods whom neither they nor you nor your ancestors previously knew.
Je 44:15 Then all the men who were aware that their wives were sacrificing to other gods, as well as all their wives, answered Jeremiah. There—there was a great crowd of them representing all the people who lived in northern and southern Egypt. They answered,—
Je 44:17 Instead we will do everything we vowed we would do. We will sacrifice and pour out drink offerings to the goddess called the Queen of Heaven just as we and our ancestors, our kings, and our leaders previously did in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. For then we had plenty of food, were well -off, and had no troubles.
Je 44:20 Then Jeremiah replied to all the people, both men and women, who responded to him in this way.:
Je 44:21 “The Lord did indeed remember and call to mind what you did! He remembered the sacrificesincense you and your ancestors, your kings, your leaders, and all the rest of the people of the land offered to other gods in the towns of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem.
Je 44:23 You have sacrificed to other gods!. You have sinned against the Lord! You have not obeyed the Lord! You have not followed his laws, his statutes, and his decrees!. That is why this disaster that is evident to this day has happened to you.”
Je 44:24 Then Jeremiah spoke to all the people, particularly to all the women., “Listen to the Lord’s message, all you people of Judah who are in Egypt.
Je 44:26 But listen to the Lord’s message, all you people of Judah who are living in the land of Egypt.: The Lord says, ‘I hereby swear by my own great name that none of the people of Judah who are living anywhere in Egypt will ever again invoke my name in their oaths! Never again will any of them use it in an oath saying, “As surely as the Sovereign Lord lives….”.”
Je 44:28 Some who survive inthe battle will return to the land of Judah from the land of Egypt. But they will be very few indeed! Then the Judean remnant who have come to live in the land of Egypt will know whose word proves true, mine or theirs.’
Je 45:1 The prophet Jeremiah spoke to Baruch son of Neriah while he was writing down in a scroll the words that Jeremiah spoke to him. (This happened in the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was ruling over Judah..)
Je 46:2 He spoke about Egypt and the army of Pharaoh Necho king of Egypt, which was encamped along the Euphrates River at Carchemish. Now this was the army that King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon defeated in the fourth year that Jehoiakim son of Josiah was ruling over Judah.:
Je 46:4 Harness the horses to the chariots!;Mountmount your horses!Take your positions with helmets on!;Readyready your spears!Put on the armor!
Je 46:5 “What do I see!? The soldiers are frightened.They are retreating.They are being scattered. They have fled for refugewithout looking back. Terror is all around them,” says the Lord.
Je 46:10 But that day belongs to the Sovereign Lord of Heaven’s Armies. It is a day of reckoning, when he will pay back his adversaries. His sword will devour them until its appetite is satisfied!.It will drink its fill from their blood! Indeed it will be a sacrifice for the Sovereign Lord of Heaven’s Armiesin the land of the north by the Euphrates River.
Je 46:13 The Lord spoke to the prophet Jeremiah about Nebuchadnezzar coming to attack the land of Egypt.:
Je 46:24 Poor dear Egypt will be put to shame.She will be handed over to the people from the north.”.’”
Je 47:1 This was the Lord’s message to the prophet Jeremiah about the Philistines before Pharaoh attacked Gaza.:
Je 47:6 How long will you cry out, ‘Oh, sword of the Lord,how long will it be before you stop killing? Go back into your sheath!;Staystay there and rest!’
Je 47:7 But how can it rest when I, the Lord, have given it orders?I have ordered it to attackthe people of Ashkelon and the seacoast..” Judgment Against Moab
Je 48:1 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, spoke about Moab.: “Sure to be judged is Nebo! Indeed, it will be destroyed!.Kiriathaim will suffer disgrace. It will be captured!Its fortress will suffer disgrace. It will be torn down!
Je 48:2 People will not praise Moab any moreanymore.The enemy will capture Heshbon and plot how to destroy Moab, saying, ‘Come, let’s put an end to that nation!’City of Madmen, you will also be destroyed. A destructive army will march against you.
Je 48:6 They will hear, ‘Run! Save yourselves!;Eveneven if you must be like a lonely shrub in the wilderness!’
Je 48:8 The destroyer will come against every town.Not one town will escape.The towns in the valley will be destroyed.The cities on the high plain will be laid waste. I, the Lord, have spoken!.
Je 48:9 Set up a gravestone for Moab,for it will certainly be laid in ruins! Its cities will be laid wasteand become uninhabited.”.
Je 48:11 “From its earliest days Moab has lived undisturbed.It has never been taken into exile.Its people are like wine allowed to settle undisturbed on its dregs,never poured out from one jar to another.They are like wine whichthat tastes like it always did,whose aroma has remained unchanged.
Je 48:17 Mourn for that nation, all you nations living around it,all of you nations that know of its fame. Mourn and say, ‘Alas, its powerful influence has been broken!Its glory and power have been done away with!’
Je 48:21 “Judgment will come on the cities on the high plain: on Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,;
Je 48:22 on Dibon, Nebo, and Beth Diblathaim,;
Je 48:23 on Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul, and Beth Meon,;
Je 48:30 I, the Lord, affirm that I know how arrogant they are.But their pride is ill -founded.Their boastings will prove to be false.
Je 48:31 So I will weep with sorrow for Moab.I will cry out in sadness for all of Moab.I will moan for the people of Kir Heres.
Je 48:41 Her towns will be captured.;Herher fortresses will be taken.At that time the soldiers of Moab will be frightened like a woman in labor.
Je 48:47 Yet in future days to come I will reverse Moab’s ill fortune,” says the Lord. The judgment against Moab ends here. Judgment Against Ammon
Je 49:1 The Lord spoke about the Ammonites.: “Do you think there are not any people of the nation of Israel remaining?Do you think there are not any of them remaining to reinherit their land?Is that why you people who worship the god Milcom have taken possession of the territory of Gad and live in his cities?
Je 49:7 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies spoke about Edom.: “Is wisdom no longer to be found in Teman? Can Edom’s counselors not give her any good advice? Has all of their wisdom turned bad?
Je 49:23 The Lord spoke about Damascus.: “The people of Hamath and Arpad will be dismayedbecause they have heard bad news.Their courage will melt away because of worry.Their hearts will not be able to rest.
Je 49:28 The Lord spoke about Kedar and the kingdoms of Hazor that King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon conquered.: “Army of Babylon, go and attack Kedar.Lay waste those who live in the eastern desert.
Je 49:35 The Lord of Heaven’s Armies said,:“I will kill all the archers of Elam,who are the chief source of her military might.
Je 49:39 “Yet in future days to come I will reverse Elam’s ill fortune,” says the Lord. Judgment Against Babylon
Je 50:2 “Announce the news among the nations! Proclaim it!Signal for people to pay attention!. Declare the news! Do not hide it! Say:‘Babylon will be captured.Bel will be put to shame.Marduk will be dismayed.Babylon’s idols will be put to shame.;Herher disgusting images will be dismayed.
Je 50:3 For a nation from the north will attack Babylon.;Itit will lay her land waste.People and animals will flee out of it.No one will inhabit it.’
Je 50:8 “People of Judah, get out of Babylon quickly!Leave the land of Babylonia! Be the first to depart!. Be like the male goats that lead the herd.
Je 50:15 Shout the battle cry from all around the city.She will throw up her hands in surrender.; Herher towers will fall.Her walls will be torn down.Because I, the Lord, am wreaking revenge, take out your vengeance on her!Do to her as she has done!
Je 50:16 Kill all the farmers who sow the seed in the land of Babylon.;Killkill all those who wield the sickle at harvest time. Let all the foreigners return to their own people.Let them hurry back to their own lands to escape destruction by that enemy army.
Je 50:17 “The people of Israel are like scattered sheepwhichthat lions have chased away.First the king of Assyria devoured them. Now, last of all, King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon has gnawed their bones.
Je 50:21 The Lord says, “Attack the land of Merathaimand the people who live in Pekod!. Pursue, kill, and completely destroy them! Do just as I have commanded you!
Je 50:24 I set a trap for you, Babylon;you were caught before you knew it.You fought against me.;Soso you were found and captured.
Je 50:26 Come from far away and attack Babylonia! Open up the places where she stores her grain!.Pile her up in ruins!. Destroy her completely! Do not leave anyone alive!
Je 50:27 Kill all her soldiers!. Let them be slaughtered!. They are doomed, for their day of reckoning has come,the time for them to be punished.”
Je 50:29 “Call for archers to come against Babylon!Summon against her all who draw the bow!.Set up camp all around the city!.Do not allow anyone to escape!Pay her back for what she has done.Do to her what she has done to others.For she has proudly defied me, the Holy One of Israel.
Je 50:38 A drought will come upon her land;her rivers and canals will be dried up. All of this will happen because her land is filled with idols. Her people act like madmen because of those idols they fear.
Je 50:39 Therefore desert creatures and jackals will live there.;Ostrichesostriches too will dwell in it too. But no people will ever live there again.;Nono one will dwell there for all time to come.
Je 50:40 I will destroy Babylonia just likeas I didSodom and Gomorrah and the neighboring towns.No one will live there.; Nono human being will settle in it,”says the Lord.
Je 50:42 Its soldiers are armed with bows and spears.They are cruel and show no mercy.They sound like the roaring seaas they ride forth on their horses.Lined up in formation like men going into battle,they are coming against you, fair Babylon!.
Je 50:44 “A lion coming up from the thick undergrowth along the Jordanscatters the sheep in the pastureland around it.So too I will chase the Babylonians off of their land.;Thenthen I will appoint over it whomever I choose.For there is no one like me. There is no one who can call me to account.There is no ruler that can stand up against me.
Je 51:1 The Lord says,:“I will cause a destructive wind to blowagainst Babylon and the people who inhabit Babylonia.
Je 51:6 Get out of Babylonia quickly, you foreign people. Flee to save your lives.Do not let yourselves be killed because of her sins.,Forfor it is time for the Lord to wreak his revenge.He will pay Babylonia back for what she has done.
Je 51:7 Babylonia had been a gold cup in the Lord’s hand.;Sheshe had made the whole world drunk.The nations had drunk from the wine of her wrath., Soso they have all gone mad.
Je 51:8 But suddenly Babylonia will fall and be destroyed. Cry out in mourning over it!Get medicine for her wounds!;Perhapsperhaps she can be healed!
Je 51:11 “Sharpen your arrows!Fill your quivers! The Lord will arouse a spirit of hostility in the kings of Media., Forfor he intends to destroy Babylonia.For that is how the Lord will get his revenge—how he will get his revenge for the Babylonians’ destruction of his temple.
Je 51:12 Give the signal to attack Babylon’s wall! Bring more guards!; Postpost them all around the city!. Put men in ambush!, Forfor the Lord will do what he has planned. He will do what he said he would do to the people of Babylon.
Je 51:16 When his voice thunders, the waters in the heavens roar.He makes the clouds rise from the far-off horizons.;Hehe makes the lightning flash out in the midst of the rain.He unleashes the wind from the places where he stores it.;
Je 51:17 Allall idolaters will prove to be stupid and ignorant.Every goldsmith will be disgraced by the idol he made.For the image he forges is merely a sham.;Therethere is no breath in any of those idols.
Je 51:26 No one will use any of your stones as a cornerstone.;Nono one will use any of them in the foundation of his house.For you will lie desolate forever,” says the Lord.
Je 51:29 The earth will tremble and writhe in agony.; Forfor the Lord will carry out his plan.He plans to make the land of Babylonia a wasteland where no one lives.

Je 51:34 “King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylondevoured me and drove my people out.Like a monster from the deep he swallowed me.He filled his belly with my riches.;Hehe made me an empty dish.He completely cleaned me out.”
Je 51:36 Therefore the Lord says,“I will stand up for your cause.I will pay the Babylonians back for what they have done to you. I will dry up their sea.;I will make their springs run dry.
Je 51:38 The Babylonians are all like lions roaring for prey.;Theythey are like lion cubs growling for something to eat.
Je 51:40 “I will lead them off to be slaughteredlike lambs, rams, and male goats.”.
Je 51:43 The towns of Babylonia have become heaps of ruins.She has become a dry and barren desert. No one lives in those towns any more.;Nono one even passes through them.
Je 51:44 I will punish the god Bel in Babylon.I will make him spit out what he has swallowed.The nations will not come streaming to him any longer.Indeed, the walls of Babylon will fall.”.
Je 51:46 Do not lose your courage or become afraidbecause of the reports that are heard in the land.For a report will come in one year.Another report will follow it in the next.There will be violence in the landwith ruler fighting against ruler.”.

Daniel
Da 2:4 The wise men replied to the king: What follows is in Aramaic “O king, live forever! Tell your servants the dream, and we will disclose its interpretation.”
Da 2:6 But if you can disclose the dream and its interpretation, you will receive from me gifts, a reward, and considerable honor. So disclose to me the dream and its interpretation!”.”
Da 2:20 saying,: “Let the name of God be praised forever and ever,for wisdom and power belong to him.
Da 2:23 O God of my fathers, I acknowledge and glorify you,for you have bestowed wisdom and power on me.Now you have enabled me to understand what Iwe requested from you.For you have enabled meus to understand the king’s dilemma.”
Da 2:24 Then Daniel went in to see Arioch (whom the king had appointed to destroy the wise men of Babylon). He came and said to him, “Don’t destroy the wise men of Babylon! Escort me to the king, and I will disclose the interpretation to him!”.”
Da 2:28 However, there is a God in heaven who reveals mysteries, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what will happen in the times to come. The dream and the visions you had while lying on your bed are as follows.:
Da 2:40 Then there will be a fourth kingdom, one strong like iron. Just like iron breaks in pieces and shatters everything, and as iron breaks in pieces all of these metals, so it will break in pieces and crush the others.
Da 3:1 King Nebuchadnezzar had a golden statue made. It was 90 feet tall and nine9 feet wide. He erected it on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon.
Da 3:29 I hereby decree that any people, nation, or language group that blasphemes the godGod of Shadrach, Meshach, or Abednego will be dismembered and his home reduced to rubble! For there exists no other god who can deliver in this way.”
Da 4:1 (3:31) “King Nebuchadnezzar, to all peoples, nations, and language groups that live in all the land: “Peace and prosperity!
Da 4:14 He called out loudly as follows: ‘Chop down the tree and lop off its branches!Strip off its foliageand scatter its fruit!Let the animals flee from under itand the birds from its branches!.
Da 4:20 The tree that you saw that grew large and strong, whose top reached to the sky, and whichthat could be seen in all the land,
Da 4:24 this is the interpretation, O king!. It is the decision of the Most High that this has happened to my lord the king.
Da 4:28 Now all of this happened to King Nebuchadnezzar.
Da 5:1 King Belshazzar prepared a great banquet for a thousand1,000 of his nobles, and he was drinking wine in front of them all.
Da 5:17 But Daniel replied to the king, “Keep your gifts, and give your rewards to someone else!. However, I will read the writing for the king and make known its interpretation.
Da 5:21 He was driven from human society,; his mind was changed to that of an animal, he. He lived with the wild donkeys, he was fed grass like oxen, and his body became damp with the dew of the sky, until he came to understand that the most high God rules over human kingdoms, and he appoints over them whomever he wishes.
Da 5:23 Instead, you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven. You brought before you the vessels from his temple, and you and your nobles, together with your wives and concubines, drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood, and stone—gods that cannot see or hear or comprehend!. But you have not glorified the God who has in his control your very breath and all your ways!
Da 5:26 This is the interpretation of the words: As for meneMene —God has numbered your kingdom’s days and brought it to an end.
Da 5:27 As for teqel – Teqel —you are weighed on the balances and found to be lacking.
Da 5:28 As for peresPeres —your kingdom is divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.”
Da 5:30 And in that very night Belshazzar, the Babylonian king, was killed.
Da 7:12 As for the rest of the beasts, their ruling authority had already been removed, though they were permitted to go on living for a time and a season. 7:13 I was watching in the night visions,“
Da 7:20 I also wanted to know the meaning of the ten horns on its head, and of that other horn whichthat came up and before which three others fell. This was the horn that had eyes and a mouth speaking arrogant things, whose appearance was more formidable than the others.
Da 7:24 The ten horns mean that ten kings mean that ten kings will arise from that kingdom.Another king will arise after them,but he will be different from the earlier ones.He will humiliate three kings.
Da 7:25 He will speak words against the Most High.He will harass the holy ones of the Most High continually.His intention will be to change times established by law. TheyThe holy ones will be delivered into his handForfor a time, times, and half a time.
Da 7:27 Then the kingdom, authority,and greatness of the kingdoms under all ofthe whole heavenwill be delivered to the people of the holy ones of the Most High.His kingdom is an eternal kingdom; all authorities will serve him and obey him.’
Da 8:9 From one of them came a small horn., Butbut it grew to be very big,great toward the south and the east and toward the beautiful land.
Da 8:10 It grew so biggreat it reached the army of heaven, and it brought about the fall of some of the army and some of the stars to the ground, where it trampled them.
Da 9:24 “Seventy weeks have been determinedconcerning your people and your holy cityto put an end to rebellion,to bring sin to completion, to atone for iniquity,to bring in perpetual righteousness,to seal up the prophetic vision, and to anoint a most holy placeMost Holy Place.
Da 10:3 I ate no choice food;, no meat or wine came to my lips, nor did I anoint myself with oil until the end of those three weeks.
Da 10:14 Now I have come to help you understand what will happen to your people in the latterfuture days, for the vision pertains to future days.” to come.”
Da 11:10 His sons will wage war, mustering a large army whichthat will advance like an overflowing river and carrying the battle all the way to the enemy’s fortress.

Ho 1:8 When she had weaned ‘“No Pity’Pity” (Lo-Ruhamah)), she conceived again and gave birth to another son.
Ho 1:10 (2:1) However, in the future the number of the people of Israel will be like the sand of the sea whichthat can be neither measured nor numbered. Although it was said to them, “You are not my people,” it will be said to them, “You are children of the living God!”
Ho 2:7 Then she will pursue her lovers, but she will not catch them; she will seek them, but she will not find them. Then she will say,“‘I will go back to my husband, because I was better off then than I am now.”.’ Agricultural Fertility Withdrawn from Israel
Ho 2:8 “Yet until now she has refused to acknowledge that I was the onewho gave her the grain, the new wine, and the olive oil; and that it was I who lavished on her the silver and gold—whichthat they used in worshiping Baal!
Ho 2:9 Therefore, I will take back my grain during the harvest time and my new wine when it ripens; I will take away my wool and my flax whichthat I had provided in order to clothe her.
Ho 2:11 I will put an end to all her celebrationcelebrations: her annual religious festivals, monthly new moon celebrations, and weekly Sabbath festivities—all her appointed festivals.
Ho 2:12 I will destroy her vines and fig trees, about which she said, “‘These are my wages for prostitution that my lovers gave to me!”!’I will turn her cultivated vines and fig trees into an uncultivated thicket, so that wild animals will devour them.
Ho 2:13 “I will punish her for the festival dayswhen she burned incense to the Baal idols; she adorned herself with earrings and jewelry,and went after her lovers,but she forgot me!” says the Lord. Future Repentance and Restoration of Israel
Ho 2:15 From there I will give back her vineyards to her, and turn the “‘Valley of Trouble”Trouble’ into an “‘Opportunity for Hope.”.’ There she will sing as she did when she was young, when she came up from the land of Egypt.
Ho 2:16 “At that time,” declares the Lord, “you will call, ‘My husband’; you will never again call me, ‘My master.’
Ho 2:17 For I will remove the names of the Baal idols from your lips, so that you will never again utter their names!”! New Covenant Relationship with Repentant Israel
Ho 2:18 “At that time I will make a covenant for them with the wild animals, the birds of the air, and the creatures that crawl on the ground. I will abolish the warrior’s bow and sword—– that is, every weapon of warfare —from the land, and I will allow them to live securely.”.
Ho 2:20 I will commit myself to you in faithfulness; then you will acknowledge the Lord.”. Agricultural Fertility Restored to the Repentant Nation
Ho 3:5 Afterward, the Israelites will turn and seek the Lord their God and their Davidic king. Then they will submit to the Lord in fear and receive his blessings in the future days. The Lord’s Covenant Lawsuit against the Nation Israel
Ho 4:5 You stumble day and night, and the false prophets stumble with you;Youyou have destroyed your own people!.
Ho 4:13 They sacrifice on the mountaintops, and burn offerings on the hills;they sacrifice under oak, poplar, and terebinth,because their shade is so pleasant.As a result, your daughters have become cult prostitutes,and your daughters-in-law commit adultery!
Ho 4:14 I will not punish your daughters when they commit prostitution,nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery.For the men consort with harlots, they sacrifice with temple prostitutes.It is true: “A people that lacks understanding will come to ruin!” Warning to Judah: Do Not Join in Israel’s Apostasy!
Ho 4:15 Although you, O Israel, commit adultery,do not let Judah become guilty!Do not journey to Gilgal!. Do not go up to Beth Aven!. Do not swear, “As surely as the Lord lives!”
Ho 4:16 Israel has rebelled like a stubborn heifer!Soon the Lord will put them out to pasturelike a lamb in a broad field!.
Ho 5:1 Hear this, you priests! Pay attention, you Israelites! Listen closely, O king! For judgment is about to overtake you!. For you were like a trap to Mizpah, like a net spread out to catch Tabor.
Ho 5:8 Blow the ram’s horn in Gibeah! Sound the trumpet in Ramah!Sound the alarm in Beth Aven!; Trembletremble in fear, O Benjamin!
Ho 5:9 Ephraim will be ruined in the day of judgment!. What I am declaring to the tribes of Israel will certainly take place! The Oppressors of the Helpless Will Be Oppressed
Ho 5:10 The princes of Judah are like those who move boundary markers.I will pour out my rage on them like a torrential flood!.
Ho 5:13 When Ephraim saw his sickness and Judah saw his wound,then Ephraim turned to Assyria,and begged its great king for help.But he will not be able to heal you!. He cannot cure your wound! The Lion Will Carry Israel Off Into Exile
Ho 6:1 “Come on! Let’s return to the Lord!.He himself has torn us to pieces, but he will heal us!He has injured us, but he will bandage our wounds!
Ho 6:3 So let us search for him! Let us seek to know the Lord!He will come to our rescue as certainly as the appearance of the dawn,as certainly as the winter rain comes,as certainly as the spring rain that waters the land.”. Transitory Faithfulness and Imminent Judgment
Ho 6:4 What am I going to do with you, O Ephraim?What am I going to do with you, O Judah?For your faithfulness is as fleeting as the morning mist; it disappears as quickly as dawn’s dew!.
Ho 6:5 Therefore, I will certainly cut you into pieces at the hands of the prophets; I will certainly kill you in fulfillment of my oracles of judgment;, for my judgment will come forth like the light of the dawn.
Ho 7:2 They do not realize that I remember all of their wicked deeds.Their evil deeds have now surrounded them;their sinful deeds are always before me. Political Intrigue and Conspiracy in the Palace
Ho 7:7 All of them are blazing like an oven;they devour their rulers.All of their kings fall –, and none of them call on me!Israel Lacks Discernment and Refuses to Repent

Ho 7:12 I will throw my bird net over them while they are flying,;I will bring them down like birds in the sky;I will discipline them when I hear them flocking together. Israel Has Turned Away from the Lord
Ho 7:14 They do not pray to me, but howl in distress on their beds;Theythey slash themselves for grain and new wine,but turn away from me.
Ho 8:1 Sound the alarm! An eagle looms over the temple of the Lord!For they have broken their covenant with me, and have rebelled against my law.
Ho 8:4 They enthroned kings without my consent!. They appointed princes without my approval!. They made idols out of their silver and gold,but they will be destroyed!
Ho 8:5 O Samaria, he has rejected your calf idol!.My anger burns against them!They will not survive much longer without being punished, even though they are Israelites!
Ho 8:11 Although Ephraim has built many altars for sin offerings,these have become altars for sinning!.
Ho 8:12 I spelled out my law for him in great detail,but they regard it as something totally unknown to them!.
Ho 8:13 They offer up sacrificial gifts to me,and eat the meat,but the Lord does not accept their sacrifices. Soon he will remember their wrongdoing,he will punish their sins,and they will return to Egypt.
Ho 9:5 So what will you do on the festival day,on the festival days of the Lord? No Escape for the Israelites This Time!
Ho 9:8 The prophet is a watchman over Ephraim on behalf of God, yet traps are laid for him along all of his paths; animosity rages against him in the land of his God. The Best of Times, the Worst of Times
Ho 9:10 When I found Israel, it was like finding grapes in the wilderness.I viewed your ancestors like an early fig on a fig tree in its first season.Then they came to Baal -Peor and they dedicated themselves to shame—they became as detestable as what they loved. The Fertility Worshipers Will Become Infertile
Ho 11:3 Yet it was I who led Ephraim,;I took them by the arm;,but they did not acknowledge that I had healed them.
Ho 11:4 I leddrew them with leather cords, with leatherstraps of hide; ropes;I lifted the yoke from their neck, and gently fed them.
Ho 11:8 “How can I give you up, O Ephraim?How can I surrender you, O Israel?How can I treat you like Admah?How can I make you like ZeboiimZeboyim?I have had a change of heart!. All my tender compassions are aroused!.

"It is a rare day of study that I don't consult my NET Bible. I love it not only for the enjoyment of the translation, but for the scholars' notes. They have proved invaluable to me in preparing countless lessons."
