Arise

Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and settle there. Build an altar there to the God who appeared to you when you fled from your brother Esau.”

For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance for the Jews will arise from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish. And who knows if perhaps you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”

Arise, O LORD! Save me, O my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked.

Arise, O LORD, in Your anger; rise up against the fury of my enemies. Awake, my God, and ordain judgment.

Arise, O LORD! Lift up Your hand, O God! Do not forget the helpless.

“For the cause of the oppressed and for the groaning of the needy, I will now arise,” says the LORD. “I will bring safety to him who yearns.”

…that the coming generation would know them—even children yet to be born—to arise and tell their own children

Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.

Arise, O LORD, to Your resting place, You and the ark of Your strength.

My beloved calls to me, “Arise, my darling. Come away with me, my beautiful one.

The fig tree ripens its figs; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come away, my darling; come away with me, my beautiful one.”

I will arise now and go about the city, through the streets and squares. I will seek the one I love. So I sought him but did not find him.

But this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘It will not arise; it will not happen.

“Now I will arise,” says the LORD. “Now I will lift Myself up. Now I will be exalted.

Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD rises upon you.

Many days later the LORD said to me, “Arise, go to Perath, and get the loincloth that I commanded you to hide there.”

For there will be a day when watchmen will call out on the hills of Ephraim, ‘Arise, let us go up to Zion, to the LORD our God!’”

Then a mighty king will arise, who will rule with great authority and do as he pleases.

In his place one will arise who will send out a tax collector for the glory of the kingdom; but within a few days he will be destroyed, though not in anger or in battle.

In his place a despicable person will arise; royal honors will not be given to him, but he will come in a time of peace and seize the kingdom by intrigue.

But as for you, go on your way until the end. You will rest, and then you will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”

Arise and depart, for this is not your place of rest, because its defilement brings destruction—a grievous destruction!
