7131 | RUT 1:2 | His name was Elimelech and his wife’s was Naomi, and his two sons were Mahlon and Chilion. They were Ephrathites from Bethlehem in Judah. After they had been living in Moab for some time, |
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. |
12713 | EST 1:7 | Drink was brought in vessels of gold – which were all different – and the king’s wine was provided with royal liberality. |
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. |
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! |
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.” |
12730 | EST 2:2 | Then the king’s servants who waited upon him said, “Let beautiful young virgins be sought for the king, |
12731 | EST 2:3 | and let the king appoint commissioners to all the provinces of his kingdom to gather them all to Susa the royal residence. Let them be brought into the women’s quarters under the custody of Hegai, the king’s eunuch, who has charge of the women. Then give them what is needed to make them beautiful, |
12735 | EST 2:7 | Mordecai had adopted Hadassah, that is, Esther, his uncle’s daughter, since she had neither father nor mother. The girl was shapely and beautiful; and after her father and mother died, Mordecai raised her as if she was his own daughter. |
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. |
12737 | EST 2:9 | The girl pleased him and gained his favor, so that he quickly gave her the cosmetics she needed to enhance her beauty and her allowance of food and the seven maids selected from the king’s household. He also transferred her and her maids to the best place in the harem. |
12739 | EST 2:11 | Every day Mordecai would to walk in front of the courtyard of the harem and ask after Esther’s health and what was happening to her. |
12741 | EST 2:13 | each girl went in to the king. She was allowed to take with her whatever she wished from the women’s quarters, |
12742 | EST 2:14 | and would enter the palace in the evening and return the next morning to another part of the harem under the care of the king’s eunuch Shaashgaz who was in charge of concubines. She would not go to the king again unless he desired her and summoned her by name. |
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. |
12747 | EST 2:19 | All the time the virgins were assembled again, Mordecai was sitting as an offical at the king’s gate. |
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. |
12750 | EST 2:22 | But Mordecai learned of the conspiracy and disclosed it to Queen Esther, and she told the king on Mordecai’s behalf. |
12753 | EST 3:2 | All the king’s courtiers who were in the king’s gate used to bow down before Haman, for so the king had commanded, but Mordecai did not bow down nor prostrate himself. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
12763 | EST 3:12 | And so, on the thirteenth day of the first month, the king’s secretaries were summoned and as Haman instructed an edict was issued to the king’s satraps and provincial governors and the rulers of each of the peoples in their own script and their own language. The edict was written in the name of King Ahasuerus and sealed with his ring. |
12764 | EST 3:13 | Dispatches were sent by couriers to all the king’s provinces, saying: Destroy, kill, put an end to all the Jews, young and old, little children and women, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, and plunder their possessions. |
12768 | EST 4:2 | He went as far as the king’s gate, but no one could enter the gate clothed with sackcloth. |
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. |
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. |
12771 | EST 4:5 | So Esther called Hathach, one of the king’s eunuchs whom he had appointed to attend her, and ordered him to go to Mordecai to learn what it all meant and the reason for it. |
12772 | EST 4:6 | So Hathach went out to Mordecai, to the city square in front of the king’s gate. |
12773 | EST 4:7 | Mordecai told him all that had happened to him and the exact amount of money that Haman had promised to pay into the king’s treasury for the destruction of the Jews. |
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.” |
12784 | EST 5:1 | On the third day, Esther put on her regalia and stood in the inner court of the royal palace opposite the king’s house. The king was sitting on his throne in the palace, opposite the entrance. |
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. |
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.” |
12792 | EST 5:9 | Haman went out that day joyful and elated, but when he saw Mordecai in the king’s gate and noticed that he neither stood up nor moved for him, he was furiously angry with Mordecai. |
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. |
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.” |
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 honor 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 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.” |
12809 | EST 6:12 | Mordecai returned to the king’s gate, but Haman hurried to his house, mourning, with his head covered. |
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. |
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 |
12822 | EST 8:1 | At that time King Ahasuerus gave the property of Haman the Jews’ enemy to Queen Esther. Mordecai was made one of the king’s personal advisers, for Esther had disclosed his relationship to her. |
12823 | EST 8:2 | The king also drew off his signet ring, which he had taken from Haman. He gave it to Mordecai, and Esther placed Mordecai in charge of Haman’s property. |
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. |
12829 | EST 8:8 | Now you write on behalf of the Jews, as seems best to you, in the king’s name and seal it with the king’s signet ring. For a document that is written in the king’s name and sealed with the king’s signet ring cannot be revoked.” |
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. |
12831 | EST 8:10 | Mordecai wrote in the name of King Ahasuerus. He sealed it with the king’s signet ring. Dispatches were sent by mounted couriers who rode the swift, noble steeds, bred of the royal studs. |
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; |
12838 | EST 8:17 | And in every province and city, wherever the king’s command and decree came, there was gladness and joy among the Jews and a holiday. Many of the peoples of the earth professed to be Jews, for fear of the Jews took possession of them. |
12839 | EST 9:1 | Now in the twelfth month (that is the month of Adar), on the thirteenth day, when the king’s command and his decree was about to put into execution, on the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to gain the mastery over them, then the tables were turned so that the Jews had the mastery over those who hated them. |
12841 | EST 9:3 | All the princes of the provinces and the satraps and the governors and they who attended to the king’s business, helped the Jews, because the fear of Mordecai had fallen on them. |
12842 | EST 9:4 | For Mordecai was great in the king’s palace, and as his power increased his fame spread throughout all the provinces. |
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.” |
12852 | EST 9:14 | And the king commanded it to be done. A decree was given out in Susa and they hung the bodies of Haman’s ten sons on the gallows. |
12854 | EST 9:16 | And the other Jews who were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together and fought for their lives and overcame their enemies. They killed seventy-five thousand who hated them. But they did not take any plunder. |
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. |
14051 | PSA 9:20 | Arise, Lord; don’t let them triumph: before your face let the nations be judged. |
14056 | PSA 10:4 | in wicked pride, thinks: God doesn’t care, God doesn’t call to account. |
14065 | PSA 10:13 | Why do the wicked treat God with contempt, and say in their hearts, “God doesn’t care”? |
14183 | PSA 19:2 | The heavens declare God’s glory, the sky tells what his hands have done. |
14191 | PSA 19:10 | The fear of the Lord is clean, it endures forever. The Lord’s judgments are true and right altogether. |

14329 | PSA 29:4 | The Lord’s voice sounds with strength, the Lord’s voice sounds with majesty. |

14334 | PSA 29:9 | The Lord’s voice whirls the oaks, and strips the forests bare; and all in his temple say “Glory.” |
14358 | PSA 31:9 | You have not given me into the enemy’s hand, you have set my feet in a spacious place. |
14396 | PSA 33:11 | but the Lord’s own design will stand forever, and what his heart has purposed, through all generations. |
14415 | PSA 34:8 | The Lord’s angel encamps about those who fear him, and rescues them. |
14435 | PSA 35:5 | As chaff before wind may they be, with the Lord’s angel pursuing them. |
