7130	RUT 1:1	In the time when the judges ruled, there was once a famine in the land. A man from Bethlehem in Judah took his wife and two sons to live in the territory of Moab.
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?
7141	RUT 1:12	Go back, my daughters, go your own way, because I am too old to have a husband. Even if I should say, ‘I have hope,’ even if I should have a husband tonight and should bear sons,
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;
7146	RUT 1:17	I will die where you die, and be buried there. May the Lord bring a curse upon me, if anything but death separate you and me.”
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?”
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.
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?”
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.
7163	RUT 2:12	May the Lord repay you for what you have done, and may you be fully rewarded by the God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge.”
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.”
7168	RUT 2:17	So she gleaned in the field until evening, then beat out what she had gleaned. It was about a bushel of barley.
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.”
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?
7176	RUT 3:2	Is not Boaz, with whose girls you have been, a relative of ours?
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.”
7185	RUT 3:11	My daughter, have no fear. I will do for you all that you ask, for the whole town knows that you are a virtuous woman.
7186	RUT 3:12	Now it is true that I am a near relative, but there is another man nearer than I.
7187	RUT 3:13	Stay here tonight, and then in the morning, if he will perform for you the duty of a kinsman, well, let him do it. But if he will not perform for you the duty of a kinsman, then as surely as the Lord lives, I will do it for you. Lie down until morning.”
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.”
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.
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.”
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.
7202	RUT 4:10	Moreover I have secured Ruth the Moabite, the wife of Mahlon, to be my wife, in order to perpetuate the name of the dead in connection with his inheritance, so that his name will not disappear from among his relatives and from the household where he lived. You are witnesses this day.”
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.
12707	EST 1:1	These events happened in the time of Ahasuerus, who ruled over a hundred and twenty-seven provinces from India to Ethiopia
12709	EST 1:3	In the third year of his reign, the king gave a feast for all his officers and courtiers. The commanders of the military forces of Persia and Media, the nobles and provincial rulers were present
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.
12725	EST 1:19	If it seems best to the king, let him send out a royal edict. Let it be written among the laws of Persia and Media, never to be repealed, that Vashti may never again come before King Ahasuerus. Let the king give her place as queen to another who is more worthy than she.
12733	EST 2:5	In Susa the royal residence lived a Jew named Mordecai. He was son of Jair, son of Shimei, son of Kish, a Benjamite.
12749	EST 2:21	In those days while Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate, two of the royal court attendants, Bigthan and Teresh, who guarded the entrance of the palace, became enraged and attempted to kill King Ahasuerus.
12757	EST 3:6	But it seemed to him beneath his dignity to lay hands on Mordecai alone, for they had told him who Mordecai’s people were. Instead Haman sought to destroy all the people of Mordecai, all the Jews throughout the kingdom of Ahasuerus.
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.
12760	EST 3:9	If it seems best to the king, let an order be given to destroy them, and I will pay ten thousand silver coins into the royal treasury.”
12769	EST 4:3	In every province, wherever the king’s command and decree went, there was great mourning, fasting, weeping, and wailing among the Jews. Many of them sat in sackcloth and ashes.
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.”
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!”
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.”
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.”
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.
12796	EST 5:13	Yet all this does not satisfy me as long as I see Mordecai the Jew sitting at the king’s gate.”
12799	EST 6:2	It was found recorded how Mordecai had furnished information regarding Bigthan and Teresh, two of the king’s attendants who guarded the entrance of the palace, who had attempted to kill King Ahasuerus.
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.”
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,
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.”
12818	EST 7:7	In his wrath the king rose from the place where he was drinking wine and went into the palace garden. Haman stayed to beg Queen Esther for his life, for he saw that the king was fully determined to bring calamity upon him.
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
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.
12827	EST 8:6	For how can I bear to look upon the evil that will come to my people? How can I bear to see their destruction?”
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.
12830	EST 8:9	On the twenty-third day of the third month (that is the month of Sivan), the king’s secretaries were summoned and as Mordecai instructed an edict was issued to the Jews, to the satraps and provincial governors and the rulers of each of the one hundred twenty-seven provinces from India to Ethiopia in their own script and their own language, and to the Jews in their own script and language.
12832	EST 8:11	In this way the king permitted the Jews who were in every city to gather together and make a stand for their life, to destroy, to kill, and annihilate all the armed forces of any people or province that might be hostile to them, including their children and women, and to take their goods as plunder
12844	EST 9:6	In Susa the capital the Jews killed five hundred people.
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.”
13946	PSA 1:3	They are like trees planted by runlets of water, yielding fruit in due season, leaves never fading. In all that they do, they prosper.
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.
13957	PSA 2:8	Only ask, and I make you the heir of the nations, and lord of the world to its utmost bounds.
13966	PSA 3:5	When loudly I call to the Lord, from his holy hill he gives answer. Selah
13967	PSA 3:6	I laid down and slept: now I wake, for the Lord sustains me.
13968	PSA 3:7	I fear not the myriads of people who beset me on every side.
13974	PSA 4:4	See! The Lord has shown me his wonderful kindness: the Lord hears, when I call to him.
13979	PSA 4:9	So in peace I will lie down and sleep; for you, Lord, keep me safe.
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.
13987	PSA 5:8	But I, through your kindness abundant, may enter your house, and towards the shrine of your temple may reverently bow.
13999	PSA 6:7	I am so weary of sighing. All the night I make my bed swim, and wet my couch with my tears.
14005	PSA 7:2	Lord my God, I take refuge in you. Deliver me, save me from all who pursue me;
14008	PSA 7:5	if friends I paid back with evil, if I plundered my foes without cause,
14021	PSA 7:18	I will give thanks to the Lord for his justice, and sing to the name of the Lord Most High.
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.
14034	PSA 9:3	I will rejoice and exult in you, singing praise to your name, Most High;
14046	PSA 9:15	so I may, in your help exulting, tell forth your praise at the gates of Zion.
14058	PSA 10:6	Each says in their heart, “I will never be shaken; I will live for all time untouched by misfortune.”
14071	PSA 11:1	In the Lord I take refuge. How can you tell me to flee like a bird to the mountains?
14073	PSA 11:3	In this tearing down of foundations what good can a good person do?”
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.”
14089	PSA 13:3	How long must I nurse grief inside me, and in my heart a daily sorrow? How long are my foes to exult over me?
14090	PSA 13:4	Look at me, answer me, Lord my God. Fill my eyes with your light, lest I sleep in death,
14092	PSA 13:6	But I trust in your kindness: my heart will rejoice in your help. I will sing to the Lord who was good to me.
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!
14105	PSA 16:1	Keep me, O God, for in you I take refuge.
