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? |
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!” |
7145 | RUT 1:16 | But Ruth answered, “Do not urge me to leave you or to go back. I will go where you go, and I will stay wherever you stay. Your people will be my people, and your God my God; |
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. |
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. |
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. |
7159 | RUT 2:8 | Then Boaz said to Ruth, “Listen, my daughter. Do not go to glean in another field nor leave this place, but stay here with my girls. |
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?” |
7162 | RUT 2:11 | Boaz replied, “I have heard what you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, and how you left your father and mother and your native land to come to a people that you did not know before. |
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. |
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.” |
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.” |
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? |
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.” |
7184 | RUT 3:10 | He said, “May you be blest by the Lord, my daughter. You have shown me greater favor now than at first, for you have not followed young men, whether poor or rich. |
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. |
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, |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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?” |
12722 | EST 1:16 | Memucan replied before the king and the officials, “Queen Vashti has done wrong not only to the king but also to all the officials and to all the peoples in all of the king’s provinces. |
12730 | EST 2:2 | Then the king’s servants who waited upon him said, “Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king, |
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?” |
12759 | EST 3:8 | So Haman said to King Ahasuerus, “There is a certain people scattered among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom, whose laws differ from those of every other and who do not keep the king’s laws. Therefore it is not right for the king to tolerate them. |
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.” |
12779 | EST 4:13 | he sent back this reply to Esther, “Don’t imagine that you alone of all the Jews will escape because you belong to the king’s household. |
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. |
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?” |
12804 | EST 6:7 | So he said to the king, “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.” |
12814 | EST 7:3 | Then Queen Esther answered, “Your Majesty, if I have won your favor, and if it seems best to Your Majesty, let my life be given me as my petition, and my people as my request, |
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. |
12828 | EST 8:7 | Then King Ahasuerus said to Queen Esther and to Mordecai the Jew, “See, I have given Esther the property of Haman, and they have hanged him on the gallows, because he laid hands upon the Jews. |
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.” |
13956 | PSA 2:7 | I will tell of the Lord’s decree. He said to me: “You are my son, this day I became your father. |
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”? |
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. |
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. |
14106 | PSA 16:2 | I said to the Lord, “You are my Lord, my happiness rests in you alone. |
14229 | PSA 22:9 | “He relies on the Lord; let him save him. Let him rescue the one he holds dear!” |
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 |
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.” |
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? |
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. |
14382 | PSA 32:8 | “With my eye steadfastly upon you, I will instruct and teach you The way you should go. |
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.” |
14539 | PSA 39:5 | “Teach me, O Lord, my end, and the sum of my days what it is. Let me know how transient I am. |
14556 | PSA 40:8 | Then said I, “Here I am, as the roll of the book has enjoined. |
