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.” |
7147 | RUT 1:18 | When Naomi saw that Ruth was determined to go with her, she ceased urging her to return. |
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?” |
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. |
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?” |
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.” |
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. |
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.” |
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.” |
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. |
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. |
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.” |
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. |
12743 | EST 2:15 | When it was the turn of Esther (the girl adopted by Mordecai, daughter of his uncle Abihail) to go in to the king, she only took with her those things that Hegai, the king’s eunuch in charge of the women, had advised her to take. Esther was liked by all who saw her. |
12751 | EST 2:23 | When the affair was investigated and the facts discovered, the conspirators were both hanged on the gallows. The incident was recorded in the presence of the king in the daily record of events. |
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?” |
12755 | EST 3:4 | When they had spoken to him day after day without his listening to them, they informed Haman, to see whether Mordecai’s acts would be tolerated, for he had told them that he was a Jew. |
12756 | EST 3:5 | When Haman saw that Mordecai did not bow down nor prostrate himself before him, he was furious. |
12767 | EST 4:1 | When Mordecai learned all that had been done, he tore his clothes and put on sackcloth and strewed ashes on his head, and went out into the city and raised a loud and bitter cry of lamentation. |
12770 | EST 4:4 | When Esther’s maids and attendants told her about Mordecai’s behavior, 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. |
12775 | EST 4:9 | When Hathach came and told Esther what Mordecai had said, |
12778 | EST 4:12 | When Mordecai was told what Esther had said, |
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!” |
12785 | EST 5:2 | When he saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she won his favor, and he held out to her the golden sceptre that was in his hand. So Esther approached and touched the top of the sceptre. |
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.” |
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.” |
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. |
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. |
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?” |
12811 | EST 6:14 | While they were still talking with him, the king’s attendants came and quickly took Haman to the banquet that Esther had prepared. |
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.” |
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?” |
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.” |
13950 | PSA 2:1 | Why this turmoil of nations, this futile plotting of peoples, |
13966 | PSA 3:5 | When loudly I call to the Lord, from his holy hill he gives answer. Selah |
13983 | PSA 5:4 | When I pray to you, Lord, in the morning, hear my voice. I make ready for you in the morning, and look for a sign. |
13996 | PSA 6:4 | all of me utterly racked. Why do you wait so long, Lord? |
14025 | PSA 8:4 | When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set there, |
14033 | PSA 9:2 | With all my heart I will praise the Lord, all your wonders I will rehearse. |
14042 | PSA 9:11 | Well may they trust you who know your name, for those who seek you, you never abandon. |
14053 | PSA 10:1 | Why do you stand, Lord, so far away, hiding yourself in times of trouble? |
14065 | PSA 10:13 | Why do the wicked treat God with contempt, and say in their hearts, “God doesn’t care”? |
14096 | PSA 14:4 | Have they learned their lesson, those workers of evil? Who ate up my people, eating, devouring, never calling to the Lord. |
14099 | PSA 14:7 | If only help from Zion would come for Israel! When the Lord brings his people a change of fortune, how glad will be Jacob, and Israel how joyful! |
14100 | PSA 15:1 | Lord, who can be guest in your tent? Who may live on your holy mountain? |
14118 | PSA 17:3 | When you test my heart when you visit at night, and assay me like silver – you can find no evil. I am determined that my mouth should not lie. |
14134 | PSA 18:4 | Worthy of praise is the Lord whom I call on, he rescues me from all my foes. |
14156 | PSA 18:26 | With the loyal you are loyal, and with the blameless blameless. |
14157 | PSA 18:27 | With the pure you show yourself pure, but shrewd with the devious. |
14160 | PSA 18:30 | With you I can storm a rampart, with my God I can leap a wall. |
14194 | PSA 19:13 | Who can know their flaws? Absolve me from those I know not. |
14202 | PSA 20:6 | We will shout then for joy at your victory, and rejoice in the name of our God. May the Lord grant your every request. |
14218 | PSA 21:12 | When they scheme against you and hatch evil plots – they will fail. |
14261 | PSA 24:3 | Who may ascend the hill of the Lord? Who may stand in his holy place? |
14266 | PSA 24:8 | “Who is the glorious king?” “The Lord strong and heroic, the Lord heroic in battle.” |
14268 | PSA 24:10 | “Who is the glorious king?” “The Lord, the God of hosts, he is the glorious king.” Selah |
14280 | PSA 25:12 | Who then is the person who fears the Lord? He will teach them the way to choose. |
14304 | PSA 27:2 | When the wicked drew near to assail me and eat up my flesh, it was those who distressed and opposed me who stumbled and fell. |
14342 | PSA 30:6 | For his anger lasts only a moment, his favor endures for a lifetime. Weeping may lodge for the night, but the morning brings shouts of joy. |
14343 | PSA 30:7 | When all went well, I imagined that never should I be shaken. |
14346 | PSA 30:10 | “What profit is there in my blood, if I go down to the pit? Can you be praised by dust? Can it tell of your faithfulness? |
14377 | PSA 32:3 | When I held my peace, my bones wore away with my endless groaning; |
14382 | PSA 32:8 | “With my eye steadfastly upon you, I will instruct and teach you The way you should go. |
14405 | PSA 33:20 | We wait for the Lord: he is our help and our shield. |
14420 | PSA 34:13 | Which of you is desirous of life, loves many and happy days? |
14425 | PSA 34:18 | When righteous cry, they are heard by the Lord, and he saves them from all their distresses. |
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?” |
14445 | PSA 35:15 | When I stumbled, they gleefully gathered, strangers gathered around me, and tore at me without ceasing, |
14451 | PSA 35:21 | With wide open mouths they shout, “Hurrah! Hurrah! With our own eyes we saw it.” |
14505 | PSA 37:34 | Wait on the Lord, and observe his way: he will lift you to honor the land will be yours, you will feast your eyes on the doom of the wicked. |
14541 | PSA 39:7 | it is but in mere semblance we walk to and fro, and all our noise is for nothing. We heap up, and know not who will gather.” |
14546 | PSA 39:12 | When you rebuke someone to punish their sins, you consume, like a moth, what they treasures. Everyone is only a breath. Selah |
14554 | PSA 40:6 | With us you have wrought in rich measure, O Lord our God, your marvels and purposes for us – none may compare with you – were I to declare or to tell them, past counting are they. |
14558 | PSA 40:10 | Well, O Lord, you know that, with lips unrestrained, your righteousness I told in the great congregation, |
14572 | PSA 41:6 | My enemies speak of me nothing but evil, “When will he die, and his name pass away?” |
14573 | PSA 41:7 | When one comes to see me, their words ring hollow; their heart keeps gathering mischief the while; and when they go out, they give it speech. |
14583 | PSA 42:3 | I thirst for God, for my living God. When shall I enter in, and see the face of God? |
14584 | PSA 42:4 | My tears have been my food by day and by night; for they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?” |
14586 | PSA 42:6 | Why am I downcast? Why this moaning within me? Hope in God; for yet will I praise him, my help, my God. |
14590 | PSA 42:10 | I say to God my rock, “Why have you forgotten me? Why must I walk so sadly, so hard pressed by the foe?” |
14591 | PSA 42:11 | It pierces me to the heart to hear the enemy’s taunts, as all the day long they say to me, “Where is your God?” |
14592 | PSA 42:12 | Why am I downcast? Why this moaning within me? Hope in God; for yet will I praise him, my help, my God. |
14594 | PSA 43:2 | For you are God my protector: why have you cast me off? Why must I walk so sadly, so hard pressed by the foe? |
14597 | PSA 43:5 | Why am I downcast? Why this moaning within me? Hope in God; for yet will I praise him, my help, my God. |
14622 | PSA 44:25 | Why do you hide your face, forgetting our stress and our misery? |
14628 | PSA 45:4 | Warrior, strap your sword on your thigh. What glory and splendor! |
14632 | PSA 45:8 | Right you love and wrong you hate: therefore the Lord your God anoints you With oil of gladness above your fellows. |
