7135	RUT 1:6	So she set out with her daughters-in-law to return from the land of Moab, for she had heard that the Lord had remembered his people and given them food.
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.
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.
7158	RUT 2:7	She asked to be allowed to glean and gather sheaves after the reapers. So she came and has continued to work until now and she has not rested a moment in the field.’
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.
7168	RUT 2:17	So she gleaned in the field until evening, then beat out what she had gleaned. It was about a bushel of barley.
7169	RUT 2:18	Then she took it up and went into the town and showed her mother-in-law what she had gleaned. She also brought out and gave her that which she had left from her meal after she had had enough.
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.
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.
7180	RUT 3:6	So she went down to the threshing-floor and did just as her mother-in-law told her.
7183	RUT 3:9	‘Who are you?’ he said. ‘I am Ruth your servant,’ she answered, ‘Spread your cloak over your servant, for you are a near relative.’
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.
7200	RUT 4:8	So when the near relative said to Boaz, ‘Buy it for yourself,’ Boaz drew off the man’s sandal.
7205	RUT 4:13	So Boaz married Ruth, and she became his wife; and the Lord gave to her a son.
7208	RUT 4:16	So Naomi took the child in her arms and cared for him as if he was her own.
7212	RUT 4:20	Amminidab of Nashon, Nashon of Salmon,
7213	RUT 4:21	Salmon of Boaz, Boaz of Obed,
12708	EST 1:2	from his royal throne in the fortified palace of Susa.
12711	EST 1:5	When these days were ended, the king held a banquet for all the people who were present in the royal palace at Susa, high and low alike. It was a seven days’ feast in the enclosed garden of the royal palace.
12720	EST 1:14	Those next to him were Carshena, Shethar, Admatha, Tarshish, Meres, Marsena and Memucan, seven officials of Persia and Media who had access to the king and were highest in the kingdom.
12729	EST 2:1	Some time later, when the wrath of King Ahasuerus had subsided, he remembered what Vashti had done and what had been decreed against her.
12731	EST 2:3	and let the king appoint commissioners to all the provinces of his kingdom to gather them all to Susa the royal residence. Let them be brought into the women’s quarters under the custody of Hegai, the king’s eunuch, who has charge of the women. Then give them what is needed to make them beautiful,
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.
12736	EST 2:8	When the king’s command and decree were known, many girls were gathered together to Susa the capital under the custody of Hegai. Esther was also taken into the king’s palace and placed under the custody of Hegai, who had charge of the women.
12741	EST 2:13	each girl went in to the king. She was allowed to take with her whatever she wished from the women’s quarters,
12742	EST 2:14	and would enter the palace in the evening and return the next morning to another part of the harem under the care of the king’s eunuch Shaashgaz who was in charge of concubines. She would not go to the king again unless he desired her and summoned her by name.
12759	EST 3:8	So Haman said to King Ahasuerus, ‘There is a certain people scattered among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, whose laws differ from those of every other and who do not keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not right for the king to tolerate them.
12761	EST 3:10	So the king took off his signet ring from his hand and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews.
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.
12770	EST 4:4	When Esther’s maids and attendants told her about Mordecai’s behaviour, she was greatly troubled. She sent garments for Mordecai to put on, so that he could take off his sack-cloth, but he would not accept them.
12771	EST 4:5	So Esther called Hathach, one of the king’s eunuchs whom he had appointed to attend her, and ordered him to go to Mordecai to learn what it all meant and the reason for it.
12772	EST 4:6	So Hathach went out to Mordecai, to the city square in front of the king’s gate.
12774	EST 4:8	Also he gave him a copy of the decree to destroy them, that had been published in Susa, to show to Esther for her information. He also told her to go to the king and implore his mercy and to plead with him in behalf of her people.
12782	EST 4:16	‘Go, gather all the Jews in Susa and fast for me. Don’t eat nor drink anything for three days and nights. My maids and I will fast as well. Then I will go in to the king, although it is contrary to the law, and if I die, I die.’
12785	EST 5:2	When he saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she won his favour, and he held out to her the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther approached and touched the top of the sceptre.
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.
12802	EST 6:5	So the king’s pages said to him, ‘Haman is standing there, in the court.’ The king said, ‘Let him enter.’
12803	EST 6:6	So Haman entered, and the king said to him, ‘What should be done for the man whom the king wishes to honour?’ Haman said to himself, ‘Whom besides me could the king wish to honour?’
12804	EST 6:7	So he said to the king, ‘For the man whom the king wishes to honour
12808	EST 6:11	So Haman took the garment and the horse and clothed Mordecai, and made him ride through the city square and proclaimed before him, ‘This is what is done for the man whom the king wishes to honour.’
12812	EST 7:1	So the king and Haman went to drink with Queen Esther.
12821	EST 7:10	So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he had prepared for Mordecai. Then the wrath of the king was pacified.
12828	EST 8:7	Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, ‘See, I have given Esther the property of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows, because he laid hands upon the Jews.
12830	EST 8:9	On the twenty-third day of the third month (that is the month of Sivan), the king’s secretaries were summoned and as Mordecai instructed an edict was issued to the Jews, to the satraps and provincial governors and the rulers of each of the one hundred twenty-seven provinces from India to Ethiopia in their own script and their own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language.
12835	EST 8:14	So the couriers who rode the swift, noble steeds went out, hastened and impelled by the king’s commands! Meantime the decree had been given out in the royal palace at Susa;
12836	EST 8:15	and Mordecai had gone out from the presence of the king in royal garments of violet and white and with a great crown of gold and with a robe of fine linen and purple. The people of Susa shouted and were glad.
12844	EST 9:6	In Susa the capital the Jews killed five hundred people.
12849	EST 9:11	On that day the number of those who were slain in Susa was brought before the king,
12850	EST 9:12	and the king said to Queen Esther, ‘The Jews have slain five hundred people in Susa, and the ten sons of Haman. What then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is your petition? It will be granted to you. What is your request? It will be done.’
12851	EST 9:13	‘If it please the king,’ Esther said, ‘let it be granted to the Jews who are in Susa to do tomorrow also according to this day’s decree. Let the bodies of Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.’
12852	EST 9:14	And the king commanded it to be done. A decree was given out in Susa and they hung the bodies of Haman’s ten sons on the gallows.
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.
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.)
12861	EST 9:23	So what the Jews had begun to do they adopted as a custom, just as Mordecai had written to them.
13948	PSA 1:5	So the wicked will not stand firm in the judgment, nor sinners appear, when the righteous are gathered.
13959	PSA 2:10	So now, you kings, be wise: be warned, you rulers of earth.
13960	PSA 2:11	Serve the Lord in awe, kiss his feet with trembling,
13964	PSA 3:3	Many are those who say of me, ‘There is no help for him in his God.’ Selah
13966	PSA 3:5	When loudly I call to the Lord, from his holy hill he gives answer. Selah
13970	PSA 3:9	Victory belongs to the Lord: let your blessing descend on your people. Selah
13972	PSA 4:2	Answer my cry, God, my defender. Often from straits you have brought me to spacious places. So now show me your favour and hear my prayer.
13973	PSA 4:3	How long, you proud people, will my honour be stained by the slanders you love, and the lies that you follow? Selah
13974	PSA 4:4	See! The Lord has shown me his wonderful kindness: the Lord hears, when I call to him.
13975	PSA 4:5	Sin not in your anger: but speak in your heart on your bed, and be still. Selah
13979	PSA 4:9	So in peace I will lie down and sleep; for you, Lord, keep me safe.
13998	PSA 6:6	For in death none can call you to mind; in Sheol who can praise you?
14009	PSA 7:6	may the enemy chase and find me, trample my life to the ground, my honour leave in the dirt! Selah
14013	PSA 7:10	Put an end to the wrong of the wicked, protect the righteous. Searcher of hearts and minds, righteous God.
14039	PSA 9:8	See! The Lord is seated forever on the throne he established for judgment,
14041	PSA 9:10	So the Lord proves a haven to the oppressed, a haven in times of trouble.
14043	PSA 9:12	Sing praise to the Lord, whose home is in Zion, declare his deeds among the nations.
14045	PSA 9:14	Show me favour, Lord, see how my foes afflict me, lift me up from the gates of death;
14048	PSA 9:17	The Lord is revealed in the judgment he wrought, the wicked are snared in their own handiwork. Selah
14049	PSA 9:18	Let the wicked depart to Sheol, all the nations that live forgetful of God.
14052	PSA 9:21	Strike them with fear, Lord: show the nations how frail they are. Selah
14072	PSA 11:2	‘See! The wicked are bending the bow, their arrow is set on the string, to shoot from the shadows at the upright in heart.
14097	PSA 14:5	Sore afraid will they be; for God is among those who are righteous,
14113	PSA 16:9	So my heart is glad, there is joy inside me; and in safety of body I live.
14114	PSA 16:10	For you will not give me up to Sheol nor let any who love you see the pit.
14121	PSA 17:6	So I call you, O God, with assurance of answer; bend down your ear to me, hear what I say.
14122	PSA 17:7	Show your marvellous love, you who save from enemies those who take refuge at your right hand.
14136	PSA 18:6	Sheol threw cords around me, snares of death came to meet me.
14139	PSA 18:9	Smoke went up from his nostrils, devouring fire from his mouth, coals were kindled by it.
14155	PSA 18:25	So the Lord repaid my innocence, my cleanness of hands in his sight.
14168	PSA 18:38	So I chased the foe till I caught them, and turned not, till I made an end of them.
14200	PSA 20:4	All your meal-offerings may he remember, your burnt-offerings look on with favour. Selah
