Obey

His mother replied, “Your curse be on me, my son. Just obey my voice and go get them for me.”

So now, my son, obey my voice and flee at once to my brother Laban in Haran.

You shall be in charge of my house, and all my people are to obey your commands. Only with regard to the throne will I be greater than you.”

But Pharaoh replied, “Who is the LORD that I should obey His voice and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD, and I will not let Israel go.”

Now if you will indeed obey My voice and keep My covenant, you will be My treasured possession out of all the nations—for the whole earth is Mine.

If, however, you fail to obey Me and to carry out all these commandments,

And if after all this you will not obey Me, I will proceed to punish you sevenfold for your sins.

If you walk in hostility toward Me and refuse to obey Me, I will multiply your plagues seven times, according to your sins.

But if in spite of all this you do not obey Me, but continue to walk in hostility toward Me,

Now if you stray unintentionally and do not obey all these commandments that the LORD has spoken to Moses—

These will serve as tassels for you to look at, so that you may remember all the commandments of the LORD, that you may obey them and not prostitute yourselves by following your own heart and your own eyes.

Then you will remember and obey all My commandments, and you will be holy to your God.

Confer on him some of your authority, so that the whole congregation of Israel will obey him.

Go near and listen to all that the LORD our God says. Then you can tell us everything the LORD our God tells you; we will listen and obey.”

Like the nations that the LORD has destroyed before you, so you will perish if you do not obey the LORD your God.

So if you carefully obey the commandments I am giving you today, to love the LORD your God and to serve Him with all your heart and with all your soul,

…a blessing if you obey the commandments of the LORD your God that I am giving you today,

Be careful to obey all these things I command you, so that it may always go well with you and your children after you, because you will be doing what is good and right in the eyes of the LORD your God.

…because you obey the LORD your God, keeping all His commandments I am giving you today and doing what is right in the eyes of the LORD your God.

…if only you obey the LORD your God and are careful to follow all these commandments I am giving you today.

If a man has a stubborn and rebellious son who does not obey his father and mother and does not listen to them when disciplined,

…and say to the elders, “This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious; he does not obey us. He is a glutton and a drunkard.”

You shall therefore obey the voice of the LORD your God and follow His commandments and statutes I am giving you today.”

“Now if you faithfully obey the voice of the LORD your God and are careful to follow all His commandments I am giving you today, the LORD your God will set you high above all the nations of the earth.

And all these blessings will come upon you and overtake you, if you will obey the voice of the LORD your God:

If, however, you do not obey the LORD your God by carefully following all His commandments and statutes I am giving you today, all these curses will come upon you and overtake you:

All these curses will come upon you. They will pursue you and overtake you until you are destroyed, since you did not obey the LORD your God and keep the commandments and statutes He gave you.

You who were as numerous as the stars in the sky will be left few in number, because you would not obey the voice of the LORD your God.

…and when you and your children return to the LORD your God and obey His voice with all your heart and all your soul according to everything I am giving you today,

And you will again obey the voice of the LORD and follow all His commandments I am giving you today.

…if you obey the LORD your God by keeping His commandments and statutes that are written in this Book of the Law, and if you turn to Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

It is not in heaven, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will ascend into heaven to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’

And it is not beyond the sea, that you should need to ask, ‘Who will cross the sea to get it for us and proclaim it, that we may obey it?’

But the word is very near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart, so that you may obey it.

…and that you may love the LORD your God, obey Him, and hold fast to Him. For He is your life, and He will prolong your life in the land that the LORD swore to give to your fathers, to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.”

Just as we obeyed Moses in all things, so we will obey you. And may the LORD your God be with you, as He was with Moses.

Anyone who rebels against your order and does not obey your words, all that you command him, will be put to death. Above all, be strong and courageous!”

For the Israelites had wandered in the wilderness forty years, until all the nation’s men of war who had come out of Egypt had died, since they did not obey the LORD. So the LORD vowed never to let them see the land He had sworn to their fathers to give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

Be very strong, then, so that you can keep and obey all that is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, not turning aside from it to the right or to the left.

So the people said to Joshua, “We will serve the LORD our God and obey His voice.”

And I said to you: ‘I am the LORD your God. You must not fear the gods of the Amorites, in whose land you dwell.’ But you did not obey Me.”

If you fear the LORD and serve Him and obey His voice, and if you do not rebel against the command of the LORD, and if both you and the king who rules over you follow the LORD your God, then all will be well.

So why did you not obey the LORD? Why did you rush upon the plunder and do evil in the sight of the LORD?”

“But I did obey the LORD,” Saul replied. “I went on the mission that the LORD gave me. I brought back Agag king of Amalek and devoted the Amalekites to destruction.

Because you did not obey the LORD or carry out His burning anger against Amalek, the LORD has done this to you today.

Foreigners cower before me; when they hear me, they obey me.

Then Jehu wrote them a second letter and said: “If you are on my side, and if you will obey me, then bring the heads of your master’s sons to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow.” Now the sons of the king, seventy in all, were being brought up by the leading men of the city.

This happened because they did not listen to the voice of the LORD their God, but violated His covenant—all that Moses the servant of the LORD had commanded—and would neither listen nor obey.

No one is to enter the house of the LORD except the priests and those Levites who serve; they may enter because they are consecrated, but all the people are to obey the requirement of the LORD.

Moreover, the power of God was on the people in Judah to give them one heart to obey the command of the king and his officials according to the word of the LORD.

But they and our fathers became arrogant and stiff-necked and did not obey Your commandments.

You admonished them to turn back to Your law, but they were arrogant and disobeyed Your commandments. They sinned against Your ordinances, by which a man will live if he practices them. They turned a stubborn shoulder; they stiffened their necks and would not obey.

Our kings and leaders and priests and fathers did not obey Your law or listen to Your commandments and warnings that You gave them.

“The rest of the people—the priests, Levites, gatekeepers, singers, temple servants, and all who had separated themselves from the people of the land to obey the Law of God—along with their wives and all their sons and daughters who are able to understand,

…hereby join with their noble brothers and commit themselves with a sworn oath to follow the Law of God given through His servant Moses and to obey carefully all the commandments, ordinances, and statutes of the LORD our Lord.

“According to law,” he asked, “what should be done with Queen Vashti, since she refused to obey the command of King Xerxes delivered by the eunuchs?”

Then Haman informed King Xerxes, “There is a certain people scattered and dispersed among the peoples of every province of your kingdom. Their laws are different from everyone else’s, and they do not obey the king’s laws. So it is not in the king’s best interest to tolerate them.

If they obey and serve Him, then they end their days in prosperity and their years in happiness.

But if they do not obey, then they perish by the sword and die without knowledge.

When they hear me, they obey me; foreigners cower before me.

But My people would not listen to Me, and Israel would not obey Me.

…to those who keep His covenant and remember to obey His precepts.

…that they might keep His statutes and obey His laws. Hallelujah!

Give me understanding that I may obey Your law, and follow it with all my heart.

I will always obey Your law, forever and ever.

This is my practice, for I obey Your precepts.

Revive me according to Your loving devotion, that I may obey the testimony of Your mouth.

I discern more than the elders, for I obey Your precepts.

Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may obey the commandments of my God.

Wonderful are Your testimonies; therefore I obey them.

I call with all my heart; answer me, O LORD! I will obey Your statutes.

I obey Your testimonies and love them greatly.

I obey Your precepts and Your testimonies, for all my ways are before You.

These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to obey the LORD’s instruction.

Who among you will pay attention to this? Who will listen and obey hereafter?

Who gave Jacob up for spoil, and Israel to the plunderers? Was it not the LORD, against whom we have sinned? They were unwilling to walk in His ways, and they would not obey His law.

…but this is what I commanded them: Obey Me, and I will be your God, and you will be My people. You must walk in all the ways I have commanded you, so that it may go well with you.

You must tell them that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: Cursed is the man who does not obey the words of this covenant,

…which I commanded your forefathers when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, ‘Obey Me, and do everything I command you, and you will be My people, and I will be your God.’

For from the time I brought your fathers out of the land of Egypt until today, I strongly warned them again and again, saying, ‘Obey My voice.’

Yet they would not obey or incline their ears, but each one followed the stubbornness of his evil heart. So I brought on them all the curses of this covenant I had commanded them to follow but they did not keep.”

They have returned to the sins of their forefathers who refused to obey My words. They have followed other gods to serve them. The house of Israel and the house of Judah have broken the covenant I made with their fathers.

But if they will not obey, then I will uproot that nation; I will uproot it and destroy it, declares the LORD.”

But if you do not obey these words, then I swear by Myself, declares the LORD, that this house will become a pile of rubble.’”

So now, correct your ways and deeds, and obey the voice of the LORD your God, so that He might relent of the disaster He has pronounced against you.

They came in and possessed it, but they did not obey Your voice or walk in Your law. They failed to perform all that You commanded them to do, and so You have brought upon them all this disaster.

“This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: Go and tell the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem: ‘Will you not accept discipline and obey My words?’ declares the LORD.

But he and his officers and the people of the land refused to obey the words that the LORD had spoken through Jeremiah the prophet.

“They will not hand you over,” Jeremiah replied. “Obey the voice of the LORD in what I am telling you, that it may go well with you and you may live.

Whether it is pleasant or unpleasant, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God to whom we are sending you, so that it may go well with us when we obey the voice of the LORD our God!”

Whether it is pleasant or unpleasant, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God to whom we are sending you, so that it may go well with us when we obey the voice of the LORD our God!”

So they entered the land of Egypt because they did not obey the voice of the LORD, and they went as far as Tahpanhes.

Because you burned incense and sinned against the LORD and did not obey the voice of the LORD or walk in His instruction, His statutes, and His testimonies, this disaster has befallen you, as you see today.”

Then the sovereignty, dominion, and greatness of the kingdoms under all of heaven will be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will serve and obey Him.’

All Israel has transgressed Your law and turned away, refusing to obey Your voice; so the oath and the curse written in the Law of Moses the servant of God has been poured out on us, because we have sinned against You.

The LORD raises His voice in the presence of His army. Indeed, His camp is very large, for mighty are those who obey His command. For the Day of the LORD is great and very dreadful. Who can endure it?

Even those far away will come and build the temple of the LORD, and you will know that the LORD of Hosts has sent Me to you. This will happen if you diligently obey the voice of the LORD your God.”

The men were amazed and asked, “What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the sea obey Him!”

…and teaching them to obey all that I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

All the people were amazed and began to ask one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority! He commands even the unclean spirits, and they obey Him!”
