7138 | RUT 1:9 | The Lord grant that each of you may find peace and happiness in the house of a new husband.” Then she kissed them; but they began to weep aloud |
7139 | RUT 1:10 | and said to her, “No, we will return with you to your people.” |
7142 | RUT 1:13 | would you wait for them until they were grown up? Would you remain single for them? No, my daughters! My heart grieves for you, for the Lord has sent me adversity.” |
7144 | RUT 1:15 | “Look,” said Naomi, “your sister-in-law is going back to her own people and to her own gods. Go along with her!” |
7146 | RUT 1:17 | I will die where you die, and be buried there. May the Lord bring a curse upon me, if anything but death separate you and me.” |
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?” |
7149 | RUT 1:20 | “Do not call me Naomi,” she said to them, “call me Mara, for the Almighty has given me a bitter lot. |
7150 | RUT 1:21 | I had plenty when I left, but the Lord has brought me back empty handed. Why should you call me Naomi, now that the Lord has afflicted me, and the Almighty has brought misfortune on me?” |
7153 | RUT 2:2 | Ruth the Moabite said to Naomi, “Let me now go into the fields and gather leftover grain behind anyone who will allow me.” “Go, my daughter,” she replied. |
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. |
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.” |
7160 | RUT 2:9 | Watch where the men are reaping and follow the gleaners. I have told the young men not to trouble you. When you are thirsty, go to the jars and drink of that which the young men have drawn.” |
7161 | RUT 2:10 | Then she bowed low and said to him, “Why are you so kind to me, to take interest in me when I am just a foreigner?” |
7163 | RUT 2:12 | May the Lord repay you for what you have done, and may you be fully rewarded by the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.” |
7164 | RUT 2:13 | Then she said, “I trust I may please you, my lord, for you have comforted me and spoken kindly to your servant, although I am not really equal to one of your own servants.” |
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. |
7167 | RUT 2:16 | Also pull out some for her from the bundles and leave for her to glean, and do not find fault with 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.” |
7171 | RUT 2:20 | Naomi said to her daughter-in-law, “May the blessing of the Lord rest on this man who has not ceased to show his loving-kindness to the living and to the dead. The man,” she added, “is a near relation of ours.” |
7172 | RUT 2:21 | “He told me,” Ruth said, “that I must keep near his young men until they have completed all his harvest.” |
7173 | RUT 2:22 | Naomi said to Ruth, “It is best, my daughter, that you should go out with his girls because you might not be as safe in another field.” |
7178 | RUT 3:4 | Then when he lies down, mark the place where he lies. Go in, uncover his feet, lie down, and then he will tell you what to do.” |
7179 | RUT 3:5 | “I will do as you say.” Ruth said to 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 recognize 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. |
7190 | RUT 3:16 | When Ruth came to her mother-in-law, Naomi asked, “Is it you, my daughter?” Then Ruth told Naomi all that the man had done for her. |
7191 | RUT 3:17 | “He gave me these six measures of barley,” she said, “for he said I should not go to my mother-in-law empty-handed.” |
7192 | RUT 3:18 | “Wait quietly, my daughter.” Naomi said, “Until you know how the affair will turn out, for the man will not rest unless he settles it all today.” |
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. |
7196 | RUT 4:4 | and I thought that I would lay the matter before you, suggesting that you buy it in the presence of these men who sit here and of the elders of my people. If you will buy it and so keep it in the possession of the family, do so; but if not; then tell me, so that I may know; for no one but you has the right to buy it, and I am next to you.” “I will buy it,” he said. |
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.” |
7198 | RUT 4:6 | “I cannot buy it for myself without spoiling my own inheritance,” the near relative said. “You take my right of buying it as a relative, because I cannot do so.” |
7200 | RUT 4:8 | So when the near relative said to Boaz, “Buy it for yourself,” Boaz drew off the man’s sandal. |
7202 | RUT 4:10 | Moreover I have secured Ruth the Moabite, the wife of Mahlon, to be my wife, in order to perpetuate the name of the dead in connection with his inheritance, so that his name will not disappear from among his relatives and from the household where he lived. You are witnesses this day.” |
7204 | RUT 4:12 | From the children whom the Lord will give you by this young woman may your household become like the household of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah.” |
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!” |
7209 | RUT 4:17 | The women of the neighborhood gave him a name, saying, “A son is born to Naomi!” They named him Obed. He became the father of Jesse, who was the father of David. |
12721 | EST 1:15 | “Queen Vashti”, the king said, “has failed to obey my royal command – the command of King Ahasuerus conveyed through the eunuchs! What does the law say should be done to her?” |
12726 | EST 1:20 | When the king’s decree which he makes is heard throughout his kingdom – great as it is – the wives of all classes will give honor to their husbands.” |
12732 | EST 2:4 | and let the girl who pleases the king be queen instead of Vashti.” The proposal pleased the king so he put it into action. |
12754 | EST 3:3 | Then the king’s courtiers, who were in the king’s gate, said to Mordecai, “Why do you disobey the king’s command?” |
12760 | EST 3:9 | If it seems best to the king, let an order be given to destroy them, and I will pay ten thousand silver coins into the royal treasury.” |
12762 | EST 3:11 | “The money is yours,” the king said to Haman, “and the people also to do with them as you wish.” |
12777 | EST 4:11 | “All the king’s courtiers and the people of the king’s provinces know that for every man or woman who goes to the king into the inner court without being called there is one penalty, death, unless the king holds out the golden sceptre signifying that they may live. It has been thirty days since I have been called to go in to the king.” |
12780 | EST 4:14 | If you persist in remaining silent at this time, relief and deliverance will come to the Jews from another quarter, but you and your family will perish. Who knows? Maybe you have been raised to the throne for a time like this!” |
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.” |
12786 | EST 5:3 | Then the king said to her, “What is it, Queen Esther? Whatever your request is, it will be granted, even if it is the half of the kingdom.” |
12787 | EST 5:4 | “If it seems best to the king,” Esther said, “let the king and Haman come today to the banquet that I have prepared for him.” |
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. |
12789 | EST 5:6 | While they were drinking wine, the king said to Esther, “Whatever your petition is, it will be granted. Your request, it will be done – even if it takes half of my kingdom.” |
12791 | EST 5:8 | “If I have won the king’s favor and if it seems best to the king to grant my petition and to accede to my request, my petition and my request are that the king and Haman come to the banquet which I will prepare for them. Tomorrow I will answer the king’s question as he wishes.” |
12795 | EST 5:12 | “What is more,” Haman said, “Queen Esther brought no one in with the king to the banquet which she had prepared except me, and tomorrow also I am invited by her along with the king. |
12796 | EST 5:13 | Yet all this does not satisfy me as long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.” |
12797 | EST 5:14 | Then Zeresh his wife and all his friends said to him, “Let a gallows seventy-five feet high be erected, and in the morning speak to the king and let Mordecai be hanged on it. Then go merrily with the king to the banquet.” The advice pleased Haman, and so he had the gallows erected. |
12800 | EST 6:3 | “What honor and dignity have been conferred on Mordecai for this?” the king asked. When the king’s pages who waited on him replied “Nothing has been done for him,” |
12801 | EST 6:4 | the king said, “Who is in the court?” Now Haman had just entered the outer court of the king’s house to speak to the king about hanging Mordecai on the gallows that he had prepared for him. |
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 honor?” Haman said to himself, “Whom besides me could the king wish to honor?” |
12806 | EST 6:9 | Then let the garment and the horse be placed in charge of one of the king’s noble officials. Let him clothe the man whom the king wishes to honor and let him lead that man on the horse through the city square, proclaiming before him, ‘This is what is done for the man whom the king wishes to honor.’” |
12807 | EST 6:10 | Then the king said to Haman, “Make haste and take the garment and the horse, as you have said, and do this to Mordecai the Jew, who sits in the king’s gate. Omit nothing of all you have said.” |
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 honor.” |
12810 | EST 6:13 | Haman recounted to Zeresh his wife and to all his friends everything that had happened to him. Then his wise men and Zeresh his wife said to him, “If Mordecai before whom you have already been humiliated is of the Jewish people, you can do nothing against him but will surely fall before him.” |
12813 | EST 7:2 | As they were drinking wine on that second day, the king again said to Esther, “Whatever your petition is, Queen Esther, it will be granted to you. Whatever you request it will be done, even if it takes half of the kingdom.” |
12815 | EST 7:4 | for I and my people have been sold to be destroyed, killed, and completely annihilated! If we had been merely sold into slavery I would not have disturbed your peace, because such a fate would not have affected the interests of the king.” |
12816 | EST 7:5 | Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther, “Who is he and where is he whose heart has impelled him to do this?” |
12817 | EST 7:6 | “A foe, an enemy: this wicked Haman.” Esther answered. Haman shrank in terror before the king and the queen. |
12819 | EST 7:8 | As the king returned from the palace garden to the banquet hall, Haman had flung himself on Esther’s couch. The king cried, “Is he going to rape my queen while I am present in my own house?” As the king spoke these words, the attendants covered Haman’s face |
12820 | EST 7:9 | and Harbonah, one of those who waited on the king, said, “There are the gallows, seventy-five feet high, which Hainan erected for Mordecai, who spoke a good word in behalf of the king, standing in the house of Haman!” The king said “Hang him on them.” |
12826 | EST 8:5 | “If it seems best to the king,” she said, “and if I have won his favor and he thinks it right, and if I please him, let written orders be given to revoke the dispatches devised by Haman son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote ordering the destruction of the Jews who are in all the king’s provinces. |
12827 | EST 8:6 | For how can I bear to look upon the evil that will come to my people? How can I bear to see their destruction?” |
12829 | EST 8:8 | Now you write on behalf of the Jews, as seems best to you, in the king’s name and seal it with the king’s signet ring. For a document that is written in the king’s name and sealed with the king’s signet ring cannot be revoked.” |
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.” |
13955 | PSA 2:6 | “This my king is installed by me, on Zion my holy mountain.” |
13958 | PSA 2:9 | You will break them with sceptre of iron, shatter them like pottery.” |
13964 | PSA 3:3 | Many are those who say of me, “There is no help for him in his God.” Selah |
14058 | PSA 10:6 | Each says in their heart, “I will never be shaken; I will live for all time untouched by misfortune.” |
14065 | PSA 10:13 | Why do the wicked treat God with contempt, and say in their hearts, “God doesn’t care”? |
14073 | PSA 11:3 | In this tearing down of foundations what good can a good person do?” |
14082 | PSA 12:5 | they declare, “Our tongue is our strength, our allies our lips: who is lord over us?” |
14083 | PSA 12:6 | “The poor are despoiled, and the needy are sighing; so now I will act,” the Lord declares “And place them in the safety they long for.” |
14093 | PSA 14:1 | Fools say in their heart, “There is no God.” Vile, hateful their life is; not one does good. |

14310 | PSA 27:8 | My heart has said to you, “Your face, O Lord, I seek.” |
14334 | PSA 29:9 | The Lord’s voice whirls the oaks, and strips the forests bare; and all in his temple say “Glory.” |
14347 | PSA 30:11 | Hear, Lord, and show me your favor, Lord be a helper to me.” |
14364 | PSA 31:15 | But my trust is in you, Lord. “You are my God,” I say; |
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. |
14383 | PSA 32:9 | Do not be like the horse or the mule, that have no understanding, but need bridle and halter to curb them, else they will not come near to you.” |
14440 | PSA 35:10 | and all my being will say, “Who, O Lord, is like you, who save the helpless from those too strong for them, the poor and the helpless from those who despoil them?” |
14451 | PSA 35:21 | With wide open mouths they shout, “Hurrah! Hurrah! With our own eyes we saw it.” |
14455 | PSA 35:25 | inwardly saying, “Hurrah! The desire of our hearts at last! Now we have swallowed him up.” |
14457 | PSA 35:27 | Let such as delight in my cause ring out their gladness, and say evermore, “Great is the Lord whose delight is the well-being of his servant.” |
