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!’ |
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.’ |
7182 | RUT 3:8 | At midnight the man was startled and turned over, and there was a woman lying at his feet! |
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 neighbourhood 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?’ |
12723 | EST 1:17 | The refusal of the queen will be reported to all the women with the result that it will make them despise their husbands. They will say, “King Ahasuerus commanded Queen Vashti to be brought in before him, but she did not come!” |
12724 | EST 1:18 | This very day the ladies of Persia and Media who have heard of the refusal of the queen will tell it to all the king’s officials, and there will be contempt and strife! |
12728 | EST 1:22 | He sent letters to all the provinces, to every province in its own system of writing and to every people in their language, that every man should be master in his own house! |
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!’ |
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.’ |
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.’ |
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; |
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.’ |
13963 | PSA 3:2 | How many, Lord, are my foes! Those who rise up against me are many. |
13974 | PSA 4:4 | See! The Lord has shown me his wonderful kindness: the Lord hears, when I call to him. |
14009 | PSA 7:6 | may the enemy chase and find me, trample my life to the ground, my honour leave in the dirt! Selah |
14023 | PSA 8:2 | Lord our God! How glorious in all the earth is your name! Your praise reaches as high as the heavens, |
14031 | PSA 8:10 | Lord our God! How glorious in all the earth is your name! |
14039 | PSA 9:8 | See! The Lord is seated forever on the throne he established for judgment, |
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. |
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! |
14177 | PSA 18:47 | The Lord is alive! Blest be my rock! Exalted be God, my protector! |
14208 | PSA 21:2 | The king rejoices, Lord, in your might, how he exults because of your help! |
14229 | PSA 22:9 | ‘He relies on the Lord; let him save him. Let him rescue the one he holds dear!’ |
14287 | PSA 25:19 | look on my foes oh, so many! And their cruel hatred towards me. |
14301 | PSA 26:11 | But my walk is blameless! O redeem me, be gracious to me. |
14369 | PSA 31:20 | How great is the goodness you have treasured for those who fear you, and wrought for those who take refuge in you, in plain sight of all! |
14403 | PSA 33:18 | See! The eye of the Lord is on those who fear him, on those who hope in his kindness; |
14434 | PSA 35:4 | Dishonour and shame be on those who are seeking my life! Defeat and confusion on those who are planning my hurt! |
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.’ |
14456 | PSA 35:26 | Shame and confusion together on those who rejoice at my hurt! Clothed with shame and dishonour be those who are haughty to me! |
14466 | PSA 36:8 | How precious your love, O God! All may seek shelter in the shadow of your wings. |
14507 | PSA 37:36 | But the moment I passed, they vanished! I sought for them, but they could not be found. |
14540 | PSA 39:6 | See! My days you have made but a span, and my life is as nothing before you. It is but as a breath that everyone stands: Selah |
14628 | PSA 45:4 | Warrior, strap your sword on your thigh. What glory and splendour! |
14669 | PSA 48:5 | For see! A concert of kings passed over the frontier together. |
14730 | PSA 51:7 | See! In guilt was I brought to the birth, and in sin did my mother conceive me. |
14762 | PSA 53:7 | If only help from Zion would come for Israel! When God brings his people a change of fortune, how glad will be Jacob, and Israel how joyful! |
14768 | PSA 54:6 | But see! God is my helper, the Lord is sustaining my life. |
14829 | PSA 58:8 | May they melt away like running water! Like tender grass, cut down may they be! |
14837 | PSA 59:4 | For see! They lay ambush for me, strong men are banded against me not for sin or transgression of mine, for no guilt of mine, O Lord, |
14838 | PSA 59:5 | they run and make ready. Awake! Come forth to meet me, and see! |
14839 | PSA 59:6 | You, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, awake! And punish the proud, every one; spare none of the traitors vile. Selah |
14854 | PSA 60:3 | O God, you have spurned and broken us, routing us in your wrath – restore us! |
14862 | PSA 60:11 | O to be brought to the fortified city! O to be led into Edom! |

15009 | PSA 69:21 | Insult has broken my heart, past cure are my shame and confusion. For pity I looked – there was none! And for comforters, but I found none. |

15482 | PSA 92:6 | How great are your works, O Lord; how deep are your thoughts! |

15926 | PSA 116:10 | I held fast my faith, though I said, ‘Ah me! I am sore afflicted,’ |
15932 | PSA 116:16 | Ah, Lord! I am your servant, your servant, child of your handmaid. You have loosened my bonds. |
15952 | PSA 118:15 | Hark! In the tents of the righteous glad cries of victory are ringing. The hand of the Lord has wrought bravely, |
15971 | PSA 119:5 | O to be steadily guided in the keeping of your statutes! |
16050 | PSA 119:84 | How few are the days of your servant! When will you judge those who harass me? |
16063 | PSA 119:97 | O how I love your law! All the day long I muse on it. |
16069 | PSA 119:103 | How sweet are your words to my taste, sweeter than honey to my mouth! |

16196 | PSA 128:2 | You will eat what your hands have toiled for, and be happy and prosperous! |
16198 | PSA 128:4 | See! This is the blessing of the man who fears the Lord. |
16238 | PSA 133:1 | Behold! How good and how pleasant is the dwelling of kindred together! |
16311 | PSA 139:4 | There is not a word on my tongue, but see! Lord, you know it all. |
16324 | PSA 139:17 | But how far, O God, beyond measure are your thoughts! How mighty their sum! |
22174 | HOS 2:2 | The Judeans and the Israelites will join together again, will appoint for themselves one leader, will return to their own land. Great will be the day of Jezreel! |
22182 | HOS 2:10 | She herself did not know that it was I who gave her the grain, the sweet wine, and the oil, who lavished on her silver and gold – that they used in worshipping Baal! |
22214 | HOS 4:12 | My own people ask counsel of a piece of wood! A stick gives them advice! For a spirit of prostitution has led them astray, they commit adultery against their God. |
22216 | HOS 4:14 | I will not punish your daughters for committing prostitution, nor your daughters-in-law for adultery. Your men visit prostitutes, sacrifice with cult prostitutes. So a people without understanding come to ruin! |
22219 | HOS 4:17 | Ephraim is wedded to idols. Leave them alone! |
22222 | HOS 5:1 | Hear this, priests! Attend, Israelites! Listen, royal family! For you is the judgment: a snare you have become at Mizpeh, and a net spread out on Tabor, |
22229 | HOS 5:8 | Blow the trumpet in Gibeah, the clarion in Ramah! Raise the alarm in Beth-aven: we are with you, Benjamin! |
22240 | HOS 6:4 | What can I make of you, Ephraim! What can I make of you, Judah! Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew which early goes away. |
22245 | HOS 6:9 | and as bandits lie in wait for a man, so a band of priests murder on the way to Shechem. How terrible is the evil they do! |
22260 | HOS 7:13 | Woe to them, for they have strayed from me! Destruction to them, for they have been untrue to me. Although it was I who redeemed them, they speak lies about me. |
22264 | HOS 8:1 | Put the horn to your mouth! An eagle swoops down upon the house of the Lord because they have transgressed my covenant, trespassed against my law. |
22265 | HOS 8:2 | To me they continually cry, ‘My God, we Israel, we know you!’ |
22267 | HOS 8:4 | They themselves have made kings but without my consent. They have made princes but without my knowledge. Out of their silver and gold, they have made idols to their destruction! |
22269 | HOS 8:6 | Israel made the thing: a workman made it. It is not a god! Samaria’s calf will become mere splinters. |
22273 | HOS 8:10 | but even if they sell themselves among the nations, I will round them up. Soon the kings and princes will writhe under the burden of tribute! |
22276 | HOS 8:13 | The people love sacrifice, and so they offer sacrifices, meat, and so they eat it, although the Lord is not pleased with them, so now he will remember their guilt, and punish their sins. Back to Egypt with them! |
22284 | HOS 9:7 | The days of punishment are come, the days of recompense are at hand, as soon the Israelites will know! ‘The prophet is a fool, the inspired man is raving mad!’ It is because of the greatness of your iniquity and the greatness of your hatred. |
22289 | HOS 9:12 | Even though they bring up their children, I will bereave them until not one is left. Woe to them when I turn away from them! |
22291 | HOS 9:14 | Give them, Lord – what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and shrivelled up breasts! |
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. |
22317 | HOS 11:8 | How can I give you up, Ephraim! Give you over, Israel! How am I to give you up as Admah! Make you like Zeboim! My heart asserts itself, my sympathies are all aglow. |
22326 | HOS 12:6 | And the Lord is the God of hosts, the Lord is his name! |
