Words

As soon as he saw the ring, and the bracelets on his sister’s wrists, and heard Rebekah’s words, “The man said this to me,” he went and found the man standing by the camels near the spring.

When Abraham’s servant heard their words, he bowed down to the ground before the LORD.

When Esau heard his father’s words, he let out a loud and bitter cry and said to his father, “Bless me too, O my father!”

When the words of her older son Esau were relayed to Rebekah, she sent for her younger son Jacob and told him, “Look, your brother Esau is consoling himself by plotting to kill you.

Send one of your number to get your brother; the rest of you will be confined so that the truth of your words may be tested. If they are untrue, then as surely as Pharaoh lives, you are spies!”

Then bring your youngest brother to me so that your words can be verified, that you may not die.” And to this they consented.

When the steward overtook them, he relayed these words to them.

Now when we returned to your servant my father, we relayed your words to him.

So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all these words that the LORD had commanded him.

And all the people answered together, “We will do everything that the LORD has spoken.” So Moses brought their words back to the LORD.

And God spoke all these words:

Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds those who see and twists the words of the righteous.

When Moses came and told the people all the words and ordinances of the LORD, they all responded with one voice: “All the words that the LORD has spoken, we will do.”

When Moses came and told the people all the words and ordinances of the LORD, they all responded with one voice: “All the words that the LORD has spoken, we will do.”

And Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. Early the next morning he got up and built an altar at the base of the mountain, along with twelve pillars for the twelve tribes of Israel.

So Moses took the blood, splattered it on the people, and said, “This is the blood of the covenant that the LORD has made with you in accordance with all these words.”

Then the LORD said to Moses, “Chisel out two stone tablets like the originals, and I will write on them the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke.

The LORD also said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”

The LORD also said to Moses, “Write down these words, for in accordance with these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.”

So Moses was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights without eating bread or drinking water. He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant—the Ten Commandments.

So Moses went out and relayed to the people the words of the LORD, and he gathered seventy of the elders of the people and had them stand around the tent.

He said, “Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, will reveal Myself to him in a vision; I will speak to him in a dream.

And when Moses relayed these words to all the Israelites, the people mourned bitterly.

The elders of Moab and Midian departed with the fees for divination in hand. They came to Balaam and relayed to him the words of Balak.

…the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open:

…the prophecy of one who hears the words of God, who has knowledge from the Most High, who sees a vision from the Almighty, who bows down with eyes wide open:

These are the words that Moses spoke to all Israel in the wilderness east of the Jordan—in the Arabah opposite Suph—between Paran and Tophel, Laban, Hazeroth, and Dizahab.

When the LORD heard your words, He grew angry and swore an oath, saying,

The day you stood before the LORD your God at Horeb, the LORD said to me, “Gather the people before Me to hear My words, so that they may learn to fear Me all the days they live on the earth, and that they may teach them to their children.”

And the LORD spoke to you out of the fire. You heard the sound of the words but saw no form; there was only a voice.

He let you hear His voice from heaven to discipline you, and on earth He showed you His great fire, and you heard His words out of the fire.

And the LORD heard the words you spoke to me, and He said to me, “I have heard the words that these people have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken.

And the LORD heard the words you spoke to me, and He said to me, “I have heard the words that these people have spoken to you. They have done well in all that they have spoken.

These words I am commanding you today are to be upon your hearts.

Then the LORD gave me the two stone tablets, inscribed by the finger of God with the exact words that the LORD spoke to you out of the fire on the mountain on the day of the assembly.

And I will write on the tablets the words that were on the first tablets, which you broke; and you are to place them in the ark.”

Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as reminders on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

…you must not listen to the words of that prophet or dreamer. For the LORD your God is testing you to find out whether you love Him with all your heart and with all your soul.

Do not deny justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous.

It is to remain with him, and he is to read from it all the days of his life, so that he may learn to fear the LORD his God by carefully observing all the words of this instruction and these statutes.

I will raise up for them a prophet like you from among their brothers. I will put My words in his mouth, and he will tell them everything I command him.

And I will hold accountable anyone who does not listen to My words that the prophet speaks in My name.

Write on them all the words of this law when you have crossed over to enter the land that the LORD your God is giving you, a land flowing with milk and honey, just as the LORD, the God of your fathers, has promised you.

And you shall write distinctly upon these stones all the words of this law.”

‘Cursed is he who does not put the words of this law into practice.’ And let all the people say, ‘Amen!’

Do not turn aside to the right or to the left from any of the words I command you today, and do not go after other gods to serve them.

If you are not careful to observe all the words of this law which are written in this book, that you may fear this glorious and awesome name—the LORD your God—

These are the words of the covenant that the LORD commanded Moses to make with the Israelites in the land of Moab, in addition to the covenant He had made with them at Horeb.

So keep and follow the words of this covenant, that you may prosper in all you do.

…because when such a person hears the words of this oath, he invokes a blessing on himself, saying, ‘I will have peace, even though I walk in the stubbornness of my own heart.’ This will bring disaster on the watered land as well as the dry.

The secret things belong to the LORD our God, but the things revealed belong to us and to our children forever, so that we may follow all the words of this law.

When Moses had finished speaking these words to all Israel,

Assemble the people—men, women, children, and the foreigners within your gates—so that they may listen and learn to fear the LORD your God and to follow carefully all the words of this law.

When Moses had finished writing in a book the words of this law from beginning to end,

Assemble before me all the elders of your tribes and all your officers so that I may speak these words in their hearing and call heaven and earth to witness against them.

Then Moses recited aloud to the whole assembly of Israel the words of this song from beginning to end:

Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; hear, O earth, the words of my mouth.

Then Moses came with Joshua son of Nun and recited all the words of this song in the hearing of the people.

When Moses had finished reciting all these words to all Israel,

…he said to them, “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to carefully follow all the words of this law.

…he said to them, “Take to heart all the words I have solemnly declared to you this day, so that you may command your children to carefully follow all the words of this law.

For they are not idle words to you, because they are your life, and by them you will live long in the land that you are crossing the Jordan to possess.”

Surely You love the people; all the holy ones are in Your hand, and they sit down at Your feet; each receives Your words—

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!”

So Joshua told the Israelites, “Come here and listen to the words of the LORD your God.”

Afterward, Joshua read aloud all the words of the law—the blessings and the curses—according to all that is written in the Book of the Law.

And Joshua said to all the people, “You see this stone. It will be a witness against us, for it has heard all the words the LORD has spoken to us, and it will be a witness against you if you ever deny your God.”

When the angel of the LORD had spoken these words to all the Israelites, the people lifted up their voices and wept.

And when his mother’s brothers spoke all these words about him in the presence of all the leaders of Shechem, their hearts were inclined to follow Abimelech, for they said, “He is our brother.”

Then Manoah asked, “When your words come to pass, what will be the boy’s rule of life and mission?”

And Samuel grew, and the LORD was with him, and He let none of Samuel’s words fall to the ground.

So Samuel spoke all the words of the LORD to the people who were asking him for a king.

Samuel listened to all the words of the people and repeated them in the hearing of the LORD.

When the messengers came to Gibeah of Saul and relayed these words in the hearing of the people, they all wept aloud.

Just then Saul was returning from the field, behind his oxen. “What troubles the people?” asked Saul. “Why are they weeping?” And they relayed to him the words of the men from Jabesh.

When Saul heard their words, the Spirit of God rushed upon him, and he burned with great anger.

Then Samuel said to Saul, “The LORD sent me to anoint you king over His people Israel. Now therefore, listen to the words of the LORD.

On hearing the words of the Philistine, Saul and all the Israelites were dismayed and greatly afraid.

And as he was speaking with them, suddenly the champion named Goliath, the Philistine from Gath, came forward from the ranks of the Philistines and shouted his usual words, which David also heard.

Now David’s words were overheard and reported to Saul, who sent for him.

But when Saul’s servants relayed these words to David, he replied, “Does it seem trivial in your sight to be the son-in-law of the king? I am a poor man and lightly esteemed.”

Now David took these words to heart and was very much afraid of Achish the king of Gath.

With these words David restrained his men, and he did not let them rise up against Saul. Then Saul left the cave and went on his way.

…and said to Saul, “Why do you listen to the words of men who say, ‘Look, David intends to harm you’?

When David’s young men arrived, they relayed all these words to Nabal on behalf of David. Then they waited.

So David’s men turned around and went back, and they relayed to him all these words.

She fell at his feet and said, “My lord, may the blame be on me alone, but please let your servant speak to you; hear the words of your servant.

Now please, may my lord the king hear the words of his servant: If the LORD has stirred you up against me, then may He accept an offering. But if men have done it, may they be cursed in the presence of the LORD! For today they have driven me away from sharing in the inheritance of the LORD, saying, ‘Go, serve other gods.’

Immediately Saul fell flat on the ground, terrified by the words of Samuel. And his strength was gone, because he had not eaten anything all that day and night.

So Nathan relayed to David all the words of this entire revelation.

And now, O Lord GOD, You are God! Your words are true, and You have promised this goodness to Your servant.

Then David told the messenger, “Say this to Joab: ‘Do not let this matter upset you, for the sword devours one as well as another. Strengthen your attack against the city and demolish it.’ Encourage him with these words.”

Then go to the king and speak these words to him.” And Joab put the words in her mouth.

Then go to the king and speak these words to him.” And Joab put the words in her mouth.

When he had come near to her, the woman asked, “Are you Joab?” “I am,” he replied. “Listen to the words of your servant,” she said. “I am listening,” he answered.

These are the last words of David: “The oracle of David son of Jesse, the oracle of the man raised on high, the one anointed by the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel:
