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!” |
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. |
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 honour 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 honour.”’ |
12862 | EST 9:24 | For Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had plotted to destroy them. He had cast “Pur”, that is the lot, intending to consume them and to destroy them. |

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.’ |
22397 | JOL 2:17 | Between the porch and the altar, let the priests, the ministers of the Lord weep aloud, let them say: Spare, the Lord, your people. Make not your heritage an object of reproach, for the heathen to mock them. Why should it be said among the nations, “Where is their God?” |
22518 | AMO 5:26 | But now you will lift up your “king” Sikkuth and “star god” Kiyyun, your idols which you have made for yourselves, |
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. |

22582 | OBA 1:3 | Your proud heart has misled you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, you who build on high your dwelling. You say to yourselves, “Who can bring me down to earth?” |
22668 | MIC 2:4 | On that day they will sing a taunt-song to you, this mocking lament: “My people’s estate is being measured for sale, our captors are dividing our fields. We are completely undone.” |
22670 | MIC 2:6 | ‘“Don’t rant!” they urge, “Of such things one does not prophesy! Shame will not overtake us! |
22671 | MIC 2:7 | Is the Lord impatient, or are such things his deeds? Are not his words favourable to the family of Jacob?” Aren’t my commands good for those who obey them? |
22675 | MIC 2:11 | If a person walking in wine and falsehood were to say, “I will prophesy to you of wine and strong drink,” then he would be the perfect prophet for this people!’ |

22998 | ZEC 4:7 | will I make the great mountain before Zerubbabel a plain. He will bring forth the top stones with shoutings of, “Grace, grace, to it.”’ |
23048 | ZEC 8:3 | The Lord says, I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem and Jerusalem will be called, “The City of Truth” and the mountain of the Lord of hosts, “The Holy Mountain.” |
23157 | ZEC 14:20 | On that day there will be inscribed upon the bells of the horses, “Holy to the Lord” and the pots in the house of the Lord will be as holy as the sacrificial bowls before the altars. |
23160 | MAL 1:2 | ‘I have loved you,’ says the Lord. ‘But you ask, “How have you shown love to us?” Was not Esau Jacob’s brother?’ explains the Lord of hosts, ‘yet I loved Jacob, |
23162 | MAL 1:4 | When Edom says, “We are beaten down, but we will return and rebuild the ruined places”’ the Lord of hosts says, ‘They may build, but I will throw down. They will be called, “The border land of wickedness,” the people against whom the Lord is angry forever. |
23163 | MAL 1:5 | Your own eyes will see this, and you will say, “the Lord’s greatness reaches beyond the border of Israel.”’ |
23164 | MAL 1:6 | ‘A son honours his father and servant their master. If I am a father, where is my honour? And if I am a master, where is the one who fears me? So says the Lord to you, priests who despise my name. You ask, “How have we despised your name?” |
23165 | MAL 1:7 | You offer on my altar bread that is polluted. You ask, “How have we polluted it?” Because you say, “The table of the Lord is contemptible.” |
23166 | MAL 1:8 | When you offer the blind animal for sacrifice, “It doesn’t matter!” And when you offer the lame and the sick “It doesn’t matter!” Give an animal like that to your governor; will he be pleased with it? Will he receive you favourably?’ says the Lord of hosts. |

23171 | MAL 1:13 | You say also, “How tired we are of all this!” and you sniff contemptuously at it. You have brought the blind, the lame and the sick as offerings. Should I accept this from your hand?’ says the Lord of hosts. |

23229 | MAT 1:16 | Jacob of Joseph, the husband of Mary, who was the mother of Jesus, who is called “Christ”. |
23236 | MAT 1:23 | “The virgin will conceive and will give birth to a son, and they will give him the name Immanuel” – a word which means “God is with us.” |
23244 | MAT 2:6 | “And you, Bethlehem in Judah’s land, are in no way least among the chief cities of Judah, for out of you will come a ruler – who will shepherd my people Israel.”’ |
23253 | MAT 2:15 | and there he stayed until Herod’s death. This was in fulfilment of these words of the Lord in the prophet, where he says – “Out of Egypt I called my Son.” |
23256 | MAT 2:18 | “A voice was heard in Ramah, weeping and mourning loudly; Rachel, weeping for her children, refusing all comfort for they were dead.” |
23261 | MAT 2:23 | There he settled in the town of Nazareth, in fulfilment of these words in the prophets – “He will be called a Nazarene.” |
23264 | MAT 3:3 | John was the one who was spoken of in the prophet Isaiah, where he says – “The voice of one crying aloud in the wilderness: ‘Make ready the way of the Lord, make his paths straight.’” |
23270 | MAT 3:9 | and do not think that you can say among yourselves “Abraham is our ancestor,” for I tell you that out of these stones God is able to raise descendants for Abraham! |
23282 | MAT 4:4 | But Jesus answered, ‘Scripture says – “It is not on bread alone that a person is to live, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”’ |
23284 | MAT 4:6 | ‘If you are God’s Son, throw yourself down, for scripture says – “He will give his angels commands about you, and on their hands they will lift you up, so you do not even strike your foot against a stone.”’ |
23285 | MAT 4:7 | ‘Scripture also says,’ answered Jesus, ‘“You must not tempt the Lord your God.”’ |
23288 | MAT 4:10 | Then Jesus said to him, ‘Go away, Satan! For scripture says – “You must worship the Lord your God, and worship him only.”’ |
23294 | MAT 4:16 | The people who were living in darkness have seen a great light, and, for those who were living in the shadow-land of death, a light has dawned!” |
23324 | MAT 5:21 | ‘You have heard that to our ancestors it was said – “You must not commit murder,” and “Whoever commits murder will be brought to trial.” |
23330 | MAT 5:27 | ‘You have heard that it was said – “You must not commit adultery.” |
23334 | MAT 5:31 | ‘It was also said – “Let anyone who divorces his wife serve her with a notice of separation.” |
23336 | MAT 5:33 | Again, you have heard that our ancestors were told – “Do not break your oaths, keep your vows to the Lord.” |
23340 | MAT 5:37 | Let your words be simply “Yes” or “No”; anything beyond this comes from what is evil. |
23341 | MAT 5:38 | ‘You have heard that it was said – “An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.” |
23346 | MAT 5:43 | You have heard that it was said – “You must love your neighbour and hate your enemy.” |
23364 | MAT 6:13 | and take us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.” |
23382 | MAT 6:31 | Do not then ask anxiously “What can we get to eat?” or “What can we get to drink?” or “What can we get to wear?” |
23389 | MAT 7:4 | How will you say to your friend “Let me take out the speck from your eye,” when all the time there is a plank in your own? |
23406 | MAT 7:21 | Not everyone who says to me “Master! Master!” will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. |
23407 | MAT 7:22 | On that day many will say to me “Master, Master, was not it in your name that we taught, and in your name that we drove out demons, and in your name that we did many miracles?” |
23408 | MAT 7:23 | And then I will say to them plainly “I never knew you. Go from my presence, you who live in sin.” |
23423 | MAT 8:9 | For I myself am a man under the orders of others, with soldiers under me; and, if I say to one of them “Go,” he goes, and to another “Come,” he comes, and to my slave “Do this,” he does it.’ |
23431 | MAT 8:17 | in fulfilment of these words in the prophet Isaiah – “He took our infirmities on himself, and bore the burden of our diseases.” |
23453 | MAT 9:5 | Which, I ask, is the easier? – to say “Your sins are forgiven”? Or to say “Get up, and walk”? |
23461 | MAT 9:13 | Go and learn what this means – “I desire mercy, and not sacrifice”; for I did not come to call the religious, but the outcast.’ |
23531 | MAT 11:3 | and asked – ‘Are you “the coming one,” or are we to look for someone else?’ |
23538 | MAT 11:10 | This is the man of whom scripture says – “I am sending my messenger ahead of you, and he will prepare your way before you.” |
23546 | MAT 11:18 | For, when John came, neither eating nor drinking, people said “He has a demon in him”; |
23547 | MAT 11:19 | and now that the Son of Man has come, eating and drinking, they are saying “Here is a glutton and a wine-drinker, a friend of tax collectors and outcasts!” And yet wisdom is vindicated by her actions.’ |
23565 | MAT 12:7 | Had you learned the meaning of the words – “I desire mercy, and not sacrifice,” you would not have condemned those who are not guilty. |
23579 | MAT 12:21 | and on his name will the Gentiles rest their hopes.” |
23594 | MAT 12:36 | I tell you that for every careless thing that people say, they must answer on the “day of judgment.” |
23602 | MAT 12:44 | Then it says “I will go back to the home which I left”; but, on coming there, it finds it unoccupied, and swept, and put in order. |
23623 | MAT 13:15 | for the mind of this nation has grown dense, and their ears are dull of hearing, their eyes also have they closed; otherwise some day they might perceive with their eyes, and with their ears they might hear, and in their mind they might understand, and might turn – and I might heal them.” p |
23635 | MAT 13:27 | The owner’s servants came to them, and said “Was not it good seed that you sowed in your field? Where, then, do the weeds in it come from?” |
23636 | MAT 13:28 | “An enemy has done this,” was the owner’s answer. “Do you wish us, then,” they asked, “to go and gather them together?” |
23637 | MAT 13:29 | “No,” said he, “because while you are pulling up the weeds you might uproot the wheat with them. |
23638 | MAT 13:30 | Let both grow side by side until harvest; and then I will say to the reapers, Gather the weeds together first, and tie them in bundles for burning; but bring all the wheat into my barn.”’ |
23640 | MAT 13:32 | This seed is smaller than all other seeds, but, when it has grown up, it is larger than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that “the wild birds come and roost in its branches.”’ |
23643 | MAT 13:35 | in fulfilment of these words in the prophet – “I will speak to them in parables; I will utter things kept secret since the foundation of the world.” |
23670 | MAT 14:4 | For John had said to him “You have no right to be living with her.” |
23674 | MAT 14:8 | Prompted by her mother, the girl said “Give me here, on a dish, the head of John the Baptist.” |
23706 | MAT 15:4 | For God said – “Honour your father and mother,” and “Anyone who abuses his father or mother shall suffer death,” |
23708 | MAT 15:6 | he is in no way bound to honour his father.” In this way you have nullified the words of God for the sake of your traditions. |
23711 | MAT 15:9 | but vainly do they worship me, For they teach but human precepts.”’ |
23743 | MAT 16:2 | But Jesus answered, ‘In the evening you say “It will be fine weather, for the sky is as red as fire.” |
23744 | MAT 16:3 | But in the morning you say “Today it will be stormy, for the sky is as red as fire and threatening.” You learn to read the sky; yet you are unable to read the signs of the times! |
23759 | MAT 16:18 | Yes, and I say to you, your name is “Peter” – a Rock, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail over it. |
23789 | MAT 17:20 | ‘Because you have so little faith!’ he answered, ‘For, I tell you, if your faith were only like a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain “Move from this place to that!” and it would be moved; and nothing would be impossible to you.’ |
23822 | MAT 18:26 | The servant threw himself down on the ground before him and said “Have patience with me, and I will pay you all.” |
