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, |
7132 | RUT 1:3 | Elimelech died, and Naomi was left with her two sons, |
7134 | RUT 1:5 | Mahlon and Chilion both died, and Naomi was left alone, without husband or sons. |
7137 | RUT 1:8 | Naomi said to her daughters-in-law, “Go, return both of you to the home of your mother. May the Lord be kind to you as you have been kind to the dead and to me. |
7139 | RUT 1:10 | and said to her, “No, we will return with you to your people.” |
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? |
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!” |
7147 | RUT 1:18 | When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she ceased urging her to return. |
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?” |
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. |
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. |
7157 | RUT 2:6 | The servant who had charge of the reapers replied, “It is the Moabite girl who came back with Naomi from the territory of Moab. |
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.” |
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.” |
7175 | RUT 3:1 | One day, Naomi said to Ruth, “My daughter, should I not seek to secure a home for you where you will be happy and prosperous? |
7186 | RUT 3:12 | Now it is true that I am a near relative, but there is another man nearer than I. |
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.” |
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. |
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.” |
7195 | RUT 4:3 | Then he said to the near relative, “Naomi, who has come back from the country of Moab, is offering for sale the piece of land which belonged to our relative Elimelech, |
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.” |
7199 | RUT 4:7 | Now this used to be the custom in Israel: to make valid anything relating to a matter of redemption or exchange, a man drew off his sandal and gave it to the other man; and this was the way contracts were attested in Israel. |
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. |
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. |
7208 | RUT 4:16 | So Naomi took the child in her arms and cared for him as if he was her own. |
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. |
7212 | RUT 4:20 | Amminidab of Nashon, Nashon of Salmon, |
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.) |
12758 | EST 3:7 | In the first month (the month of Nisan) in the twelfth year of the reign of King Ahasuerus, Haman had ‘pur’ (which means ‘lot’) cast before him to determine the best day and best month for his actions. The lot fell on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month – the month of Adar. |
12793 | EST 5:10 | Nevertheless Haman restrained himself and went home. He called together his friends and Zeresh his wife |
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. |
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.” |
12839 | EST 9:1 | Now in the twelfth month (that is the month of Adar), on the thirteenth day, when the king’s command and his decree was about to put into execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain the mastery over them, then the tables were turned so that the Jews had the mastery over those who hated them. |
12840 | EST 9:2 | The Jews gathered together in the cities throughout all the provinces of King Ahasuerus, to attack anyone who tried to harm them. No one could withstand them, for the fear of them had fallen on all the peoples. |
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.” |
13947 | PSA 1:4 | Not so fare the wicked, not so; like chaff are they, blown by the wind. |
13985 | PSA 5:6 | No braggarts can stand in your presence, you hate all workers of wrong. |
14057 | PSA 10:5 | Never a season that they do not prosper; your judgments are far above out of their sight: they scoff at their foes. |
14126 | PSA 17:11 | Now they dog us at every step, keenly watching, to hurl us to the ground, |
14203 | PSA 20:7 | Now I am sure that the Lord will help his anointed. From his temple in heaven he will answer by his mighty triumphant right hand. |
14271 | PSA 25:3 | None will be shamed who wait for you, but shame will fall upon wanton traitors. |
14455 | PSA 35:25 | inwardly saying, “Hurrah! The desire of our hearts at last! Now we have swallowed him up.” |
14496 | PSA 37:25 | Never, from youth to age, have I seen the righteous forsaken, or their children begging bread. |
14649 | PSA 46:7 | Nations roared, kingdoms tottered: he uttered his voice, earth melted away. |
14697 | PSA 49:18 | Not a shred of it all can they take when they die, wealth cannot follow them down. |
14708 | PSA 50:8 | Not for your sacrifices will I reprove you your burnt-offerings are ever before me |
14709 | PSA 50:9 | Not a bullock will I take from your house, nor male goats out of your folds; |

14980 | PSA 68:28 | There, in front, is Benjamin the little, the princes of Judah beside them, the princes of Zebulon, princes of Naphtali. |
15112 | PSA 74:9 | No symbol of ours do we see any more: no prophet is there any more, none is with us who knows how long. |
15323 | PSA 84:3 | How I long and yearn for the courts of the Lord. Now heart and flesh cry for joy to the living God. |
15355 | PSA 86:8 | None of the gods is like you, Lord, nor are any works like yours. |
15413 | PSA 89:23 | “No enemy will dare to assail him, nor the wicked to oppress him; |

22169 | HOS 1:6 | When she conceived again and bore a daughter, the Lord said to Hosea: “Call her Lo-Ruhamah – ‘No-Compassion’ for I will no longer have compassion on Israel, certainly not spare them. |
22171 | HOS 1:8 | After she had weaned No-Compassion, and when she conceived and bore a son, he said: |
22172 | HOS 1:9 | “Call him Lo-Ammi – ‘Not-My-People’ for you, Israel, are not my people, and I indeed am not your God.” |
22197 | HOS 2:25 | and I will plant her in the land. I will have compassion to No-Compassion, I will say to Not-My-People, “You are my people,” and they will say, “You are my God.” |
22249 | HOS 7:2 | But it never crosses their minds that I remember their wickedness. Now their misdeeds surround them, they are always before my face. |
22283 | HOS 9:6 | Even if they flee from destruction, Egypt will gather them, Memphis will bury them. Nettles will take possession of their treasure of silver, thorns will push into their tents. |
22304 | HOS 10:10 | When I please, I will punish them. Nations will gather against them to chain them for their double crimes. |
22314 | HOS 11:5 | No! They return to the land of Egypt, Assyria will be their king, for they have refused to return to me. |
22375 | JOL 1:15 | Alas for the day! Near at hand is the day of the Lord, and as destruction from the Almighty it comes. |
22426 | JOL 4:14 | Noisy multitudes, noisy multitudes in the valley of decision. For near is the Lord’s day in the valley of decision! |
22459 | AMO 2:11 | I raised up some of your sons to be prophets some of your youths to be Nazirites. Is not this indeed so, Israelites? says the Lord. |
22460 | AMO 2:12 | But you made the Nazirites drink wine and banned the prophets from prophesying. |
22529 | AMO 6:10 | When the uncle and another member of the family of a dead man come to carry the body out of the house for burial, they will call to someone in a corner of the house, ‘Any more there?’ and he will answer, ‘No’, and then he will add, ‘Be quiet!’ – for the name of the Lord must not be mentioned. |
22549 | AMO 7:16 | Now therefore listen to the Lord’s message: ‘You say not to prophesy against Israel, nor to preach against the house of Isaac. |
22557 | AMO 8:7 | Now the Lord has taken an oath by the Pride of Jacob: I will never forget all their deeds! |
22558 | AMO 8:8 | Because of this won’t the land quake, and all its inhabitants mourn? Won’t the whole of it rise like the Nile, churn and subside like the Nile in Egypt? |
22561 | AMO 8:11 | The day is coming, says the Lord God, when I will send hunger in the land. Not a famine of bread or thirst for water, but for hearing the message of the Lord. |
22569 | AMO 9:5 | It is the Lord the God of hosts, who touches the earth and it trembles, all who live on it mourn. The earth rises up like the Nile, and sinks like the Nile of Egypt. |
22594 | OBA 1:15 | Near at hand is the Lord’s day for all the nations. As you have done so will it be done to you. Your deeds will come back on your own head. |
22597 | OBA 1:18 | For the house of Jacob will be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, but the house of Esau will become stubble. They will kindle and devour it. Not even one of the house of Esau will escape, for the Lord has spoken. |
22598 | OBA 1:19 | They will possess the Negeb and Mount Esau, and the Shephelah of the Philistines. They will possess the territory of Ephraim and Samaria, and Benjamin will possess Gilead. |
22599 | OBA 1:20 | The exiles of Israel will possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath. The captives of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad will possess the cities of the Negreb. |
22602 | JON 1:2 | “Arise, go to that great city, Nineveh, and preach against it; for their wickedness is known to me.” |
22629 | JON 3:2 | “Arise, go to that great city, Nineveh, and proclaim to it the message that I tell you.” |
22630 | JON 3:3 | So Jonah started for Nineveh, as the Lord commanded. Now Nineveh was so large a city that it took three days’ journey to cross it. |
22631 | JON 3:4 | Jonah began by going a day’s journey into the city, and he proclaimed, “Forty days more and Nineveh shall be overthrown.” |
22632 | JON 3:5 | And the people of Nineveh believed God; and they ordered a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them. |
22633 | JON 3:6 | And when word came to the king of Nineveh, he rose from his throne, took off his robe, dressed in sackcloth, and sat in ashes. |
22634 | JON 3:7 | And he made this proclamation and published it in Nineveh: “By the decree of the king and his nobles: People, beast, herd, and flock shall not taste anything; let them not eat nor drink water. |
22648 | JON 4:11 | Should I not care for the great city Nineveh, in which there are one hundred and twenty thousand people who do not know their right hand from their left; and many cattle too?” |
