7130 | RUT 1:1 | In the time when the judges ruled, there was once a famine in the land. A man from Bethlehem in Judah took his wife and two sons to live in the territory of Moab. |
7131 | RUT 1:2 | His name was Elimelech and his wife’s was Naomi, and his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. After they had been living in Moab for some time, |
7140 | RUT 1:11 | But Naomi said, ‘Go back, my daughters. Why should you go with me? Can I still bear sons who might become your husbands? |
7145 | RUT 1:16 | But Ruth answered, ‘Do not urge me to leave you or to go back. I will go where you go, and I will stay wherever you stay. Your people will be my people, and your God my God; |
7148 | RUT 1:19 | So they journeyed on until they came to Bethlehem. Their arrival stirred the whole town, and the women said, ‘Can this be Naomi?’ |
7151 | RUT 1:22 | So Naomi and Ruth, her Moabite daughter-in-law, returned from Moab. They reached Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest. |
7152 | RUT 2:1 | Now Naomi was related through her husband to a very wealthy man of the family of Elimelech named Boaz. |
7154 | RUT 2:3 | So she went to glean in the field after the reapers. As it happened, she was in that part of the field which belonged to Boaz, who was of the family of Elimelech. |
7155 | RUT 2:4 | When Boaz came from Bethlehem and said to the reapers, ‘The Lord be with you,’ they answered him, ‘May the Lord bless you.’ |
7156 | RUT 2:5 | ‘Whose girl is this?’ Boaz asked his servant who had charge of the reapers. |
7159 | RUT 2:8 | Then Boaz said to Ruth, ‘Listen, my daughter. Do not go to glean in another field nor leave this place, but stay here with my girls. |
7162 | RUT 2:11 | Boaz replied, ‘I have heard what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you left your father and mother and your native land to come to a people that you did not know before. |
7165 | RUT 2:14 | At mealtime Boaz said to Ruth, ‘Come here and eat some of the food and dip your piece of bread in the vinegar.’ So she sat beside the reapers, and he passed her some roasted grain. She ate until she was satisfied and had some left. |
7166 | RUT 2:15 | When she rose to glean, Boaz gave this order to his young men: ‘Let her glean even among the sheaves and do not disturb her. |
7170 | RUT 2:19 | ‘Where did you glean today, and where did you work?’ asked her mother-in-law. ‘A blessing on him who took notice of you!’ So she told her mother-in-law where she had worked. ‘The name of the man with whom I worked today,’ she said, ‘is Boaz.’ |
7174 | RUT 2:23 | So she gleaned with the girls of Boaz until the end of the barley and wheat harvest; but she lived with her mother-in-law. |
7176 | RUT 3:2 | Is not Boaz, with whose girls you have been, a relative of ours? |
7177 | RUT 3:3 | Tonight he is going to winnow barley on the threshing-floor. So bathe and anoint yourself and put on your best clothes and go down to the threshing-floor. But do not make yourself known to the man until he has finished eating and drinking. |
7181 | RUT 3:7 | When Boaz had finished eating and drinking and was in a happy mood, he went to lie down at the end of the heap of grain. Then Ruth came quietly and uncovered his feet and lay down. |
7187 | RUT 3:13 | Stay here tonight, and then in the morning, if he will perform for you the duty of a kinsman, well, let him do it. But if he will not perform for you the duty of a kinsman, then as surely as the Lord lives, I will do it for you. Lie down until morning.’ |
7188 | RUT 3:14 | So she lay at his feet until morning, but rose before anyone could recognise her, for Boaz said, ‘No one must know that a woman came to the threshing-floor.’ |
7189 | RUT 3:15 | He also said, ‘Bring the cloak which you have on and hold it.’ So she held it while he poured into it six measures of barley and laid it on her shoulders. Then he went into the city. |
7193 | RUT 4:1 | Then Boaz went up to the gate and sat down. Just then the near kinsman of whom Boaz had spoken came along. Boaz said, ‘Hello, So-and-so (calling him by name), come here and sit down.’ So he stopped and sat down. |
7194 | RUT 4:2 | Boaz also took ten of the town elders and said, ‘Sit down here.’ So they sat down. |
7197 | RUT 4:5 | Then Boaz said, ‘On the day you buy the field from Naomi, you must also marry Ruth the Moabite, the widow of the dead, in order to preserve the name of the dead in connection with his inheritance.’ |
7200 | RUT 4:8 | So when the near relative said to Boaz, ‘Buy it for yourself,’ Boaz drew off the man’s sandal. |
7201 | RUT 4:9 | Then Boaz said to the elders and to all the people, ‘You are witnesses at this time that I have bought all that was Elimelech’s and all that was Chilion’s and Mahlon’s from Naomi. |
7203 | RUT 4:11 | Then all the people who were at the gate and the elders said, ‘We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your house like Rachel and Leah, who together built the house of Israel. May you do well in Ephrata, and become famous in Bethlehem. |
7205 | RUT 4:13 | So Boaz married Ruth, and she became his wife; and the Lord gave to her a son. |
7206 | RUT 4:14 | Then the women said to Naomi, ‘Blessed be the Lord who has not left you at this time without a near relative, and may his name be famous in Israel. |
7207 | RUT 4:15 | This child will restore your vigor and nourish you in your old age; for your daughter-in-law who loves you, who is worth more to you than seven sons, has borne a son to Boaz!’ |
7213 | RUT 4:21 | Salmon of Boaz, Boaz of Obed, |
12716 | EST 1:10 | On the seventh day, when the king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zathar and Carkas, his seven eunuch attendants |
12718 | EST 1:12 | But Queen Vashti refused to come as the king commanded through the eunuchs. Then the king became very angry and his fury burned within him. |
12733 | EST 2:5 | In Susa the royal residence lived a Jew named Mordecai. He was son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a Benjamite. |
12734 | EST 2:6 | (Kish had been carried away from Jerusalem with the exiles who were deported with Jeconiah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon took captive.) |
12749 | EST 2:21 | In those days while Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate, two of the royal court attendants, Bigthan and Teresh, who guarded the entrance of the palace, became enraged and attempted to kill King Ahasuerus. |
12750 | EST 2:22 | But Mordecai learned of the conspiracy and disclosed it to Queen Esther, and she told the king on Mordecai’s behalf. |
12757 | EST 3:6 | But it seemed to him beneath his dignity to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him who Mordecai’s people were. Instead Haman sought to destroy all the people of Mordecai, all the Jews throughout the kingdom of Ahasuerus. |
12766 | EST 3:15 | By command of the king the couriers raced off, and the edict was published in Susa itself. Then the king and Haman sat down to drink, but the city of Susa was in turmoil. |
12788 | EST 5:5 | Then the king ordered, ‘Bring Haman quickly, so that Esther’s wish may be gratified.’ So the king and Haman went to the banquet that Esther had prepared. |
12799 | EST 6:2 | It was found recorded how Mordecai had furnished information regarding Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king’s attendants who guarded the entrance of the palace, who had attempted to kill King Ahasuerus. |
12853 | EST 9:15 | The Jews who were in Susa gathered themselves together again on the fourteenth day of the month of Adar. They killed three hundred people in Susa. But they did not take any plunder. |
12854 | EST 9:16 | And the other Jews who were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together and fought for their lives and overcame their enemies. They killed seventy-five thousand who hated them. But they did not take any plunder. |
12856 | EST 9:18 | (But the Jews in Susa gathered on both the thirteenth and fourteenth day – and rested on the fifteenth day of the same month and made it a day of feasting and rejoicing.) |
12863 | EST 9:25 | But when the matter came before the king, he gave written orders that his wicked plot, which he had planned against the Jews, should come upon his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows. |
13945 | PSA 1:2 | But the law of the Lord is their joy, they study it day and night. |
13965 | PSA 3:4 | But you, Lord, are shield about me, my glory, who lifts up my head. |
13987 | PSA 5:8 | But I, through your kindness abundant, may enter your house, and towards the shrine of your temple may reverently bow. |
13991 | PSA 5:12 | But let all who take refuge in you ring out their gladness forever. Protect those who love your name, so they may exult in you. |
14001 | PSA 6:9 | Begone, workers of wrong, for the Lord has heard my loud weeping, |
14067 | PSA 10:15 | Break the arm of the wicked and evil: search out their sin, till no more be found. |
14092 | PSA 13:6 | But I trust in your kindness: my heart will rejoice in your help. I will sing to the Lord who was good to me. |
14095 | PSA 14:3 | But all have turned bad, the taint is on all; not one does good, no, not one. |
14128 | PSA 17:13 | Arise, Lord, face them and fell them. By your sword set me free from the wicked, |
14129 | PSA 17:14 | by your hand, O Lord, from those – whose portion of life is but of this world. But let your treasured ones have food in plenty may their children be full and their children satisfied. |
14177 | PSA 18:47 | The Lord is alive! Blest be my rock! Exalted be God, my protector! |
14186 | PSA 19:5 | But through all the world their voice carries their words to the ends of the earth. He has pitched a tent for the sun in the sky, |
14193 | PSA 19:12 | By them is your servant warned; who keeps them has rich reward. |
14220 | PSA 21:14 | Be exalted, Lord, in your strength, to your might we shall sing and make music. |
14227 | PSA 22:7 | But I am a worm, not a person; insulted by others, despised by the people. |
14230 | PSA 22:10 | But you drew me from the womb, laid me safely on my mother’s breasts. |
14232 | PSA 22:12 | Be not far from me, for trouble is nigh, and there is none to help. |
14233 | PSA 22:13 | I am circled by many bulls, beset by the mighty of Bashan, |
14240 | PSA 22:20 | But you, O Lord, be not far, O my strength, hasten to help me. |
14279 | PSA 25:11 | Be true to your name Lord, forgive my many sins. |
14301 | PSA 26:11 | But my walk is blameless! O redeem me, be gracious to me. |
14322 | PSA 28:6 | Blest be the Lord, who has heard my voice as I plead for mercy. |
14325 | PSA 28:9 | O save your people, and bless your inheritance. Be their shepherd and carry them forever. |
14352 | PSA 31:3 | incline to me your ear. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a rock of defence, a fortified house, to save me. |
14359 | PSA 31:10 | Be gracious to me, Lord, for I am distressed; my eye is wasted away with sorrow. |
14364 | PSA 31:15 | But my trust is in you, Lord. ‘You are my God,’ I say; |
14371 | PSA 31:22 | Blest be the Lord for the wonderful love he has shown me in time of distress. |
14372 | PSA 31:23 | For I had said in panic, ‘I am driven clean out of your sight.’ But you heard my plea, when I cried to you for help. |
14385 | PSA 32:11 | Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, you righteous; and ring out your joy, all you upright in heart. |
14391 | PSA 33:6 | By his word the heavens were made, all their host by the breath of his mouth. |
14443 | PSA 35:13 | But when they were sick, I put on sackcloth, and chastened myself with fasting. I prayed with head bowed low, |
14452 | PSA 35:22 | But you have seen, too, O Lord, keep not silence, O Lord, be not far from me. |
14453 | PSA 35:23 | Bestir you, awake, for my right my God, my Lord, for my cause. |
14472 | PSA 37:1 | Be not kindled to wrath at the wicked, nor envious of those who work wrong; |
14478 | PSA 37:7 | In silence and patience wait on the Lord. Be not kindled to anger at those who prosper. At those who execute evil devices. |
14482 | PSA 37:11 | But the humble will have the land, and the rapture of peace in abundance. |
14487 | PSA 37:16 | Better is the righteous person’s little than the wealth of many wicked. |
14491 | PSA 37:20 | Because the wicked will perish: but the foes of the Lord, like a brand in the oven, will vanish, like smoke they will vanish. |
14500 | PSA 37:29 | But the land will belong to the righteous, they will live upon it forever, |
14504 | PSA 37:33 | But the Lord leaves them not in their hand: at their trial they will not be held guilty. |
14507 | PSA 37:36 | But the moment I passed, they vanished! I sought for them, but they could not be found. |
14509 | PSA 37:38 | But transgressors will perish together. Cut off are the wicked forever. |
14518 | PSA 38:7 | Bent and bowed am I utterly, all the day going in mourning. |
14525 | PSA 38:14 | But I turn a deaf ear and hear not; like the dumb I open not my mouth. |
14555 | PSA 40:7 | In offerings bloody or bloodless you have no delight, but with open ears you have made me. Burnt-offering and offering for sin are not what you ask. |
14565 | PSA 40:17 | But may all who seek after you rejoice and be glad in you. May all those eager for your aid, say, ‘Great is the Lord’ evermore. |
14577 | PSA 41:11 | But do you, Lord, graciously raise me up, that I may pay them their due reward. |
14578 | PSA 41:12 | By this will I know you delight in me: if my foes may not shout over me in triumph. |
14580 | PSA 41:14 | Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting, Amen and Amen. |
14620 | PSA 44:23 | But in your cause it is we are killed all the day, and counted as sheep for the slaughter. |
14670 | PSA 48:6 | But one glance, and they were astounded; they hastened away in dismay. |
