But when he is found, he must repay sevenfold;
He must give all the substance of his house.

He will not accept any ransom,
Nor will he be satisfied though you give many gifts.

Give instruction to a wise man and he will be still wiser,
Teach a righteous man and he will increase his learning.

He who gives attention to the word will find good,
And blessed is he who trusts in the Lord.

He who gives an answer before he hears,
It is folly and shame to him.

Many will seek the favor of a generous man,
And every man is a friend to him who gives gifts.

All day long he is craving,
While the righteous gives and does not hold back.

He who is generous will be blessed,
For he gives some of his food to the poor.

He who oppresses the poor to make more for himself
Or who gives to the rich, will only come to poverty.

Do not associate with a man given to anger;
Or go with a hot-tempered man,

Do not be among those who give pledges,
Among those who become guarantors for debts.

Give me your heart, my son,
And let your eyes delight in my ways.

My son, fear the Lord and the king;
Do not associate with those who are given to change,

He kisses the lips
Who gives a right answer.

If your enemy is hungry, give him food to eat;
And if he is thirsty, give him water to drink;

Like a trampled spring and a polluted well
Is a righteous man who gives way before the wicked.

Like one who binds a stone in a sling,
So is he who gives honor to a fool.

The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes
Than seven men who can give a discreet answer.

He who gives to the poor will never want,
But he who shuts his eyes will have many curses.

The king gives stability to the land by justice,
But a man who takes bribes overthrows it.

The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.

The rod and reproof give wisdom,
But a child who gets his own way brings shame to his mother.

Correct your son, and he will give you comfort;
He will also delight your soul.

Keep deception and lies far from me,
Give me neither poverty nor riches;
Feed me with the food that is my portion,

The leech has two daughters,
“Give,” “Give.”
There are three things that will not be satisfied,
Four that will not say, “Enough”:

Do not give your strength to women,
Or your ways to that which destroys kings.

Give strong drink to him who is perishing,
And wine to him whose life is bitter.

She rises also while it is still night
And gives food to her household
And portions to her maidens.

Give her the product of her hands,
And let her works praise her in the gates.

And I set my mind to seek and explore by wisdom concerning all that has been done under heaven. It is a grievous task which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.

When there is a man who has labored with wisdom, knowledge and skill, then he gives his legacy to one who has not labored with them. This too is vanity and a great evil.

For to a person who is good in His sight He has given wisdom and knowledge and joy, while to the sinner He has given the task of gathering and collecting so that he may give to one who is good in God’s sight. This too is vanity and striving after wind.

A time to give birth and a time to die;
A time to plant and a time to uproot what is planted.

A time to search and a time to give up as lost;
A time to keep and a time to throw away.

I have seen the task which God has given the sons of men with which to occupy themselves.

Here is what I have seen to be good and fitting: to eat, to drink and enjoy oneself in all one’s labor in which he toils under the sun during the few years of his life which God has given him; for this is his reward.

Furthermore, as for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, He has also empowered him to eat from them and to receive his reward and rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.

a man to whom God has given riches and wealth and honor so that his soul lacks nothing of all that he desires; yet God has not empowered him to eat from them, for a foreigner enjoys them. This is vanity and a severe affliction.

Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed quickly, therefore the hearts of the sons of men among them are given fully to do evil.

So I commended pleasure, for there is nothing good for a man under the sun except to eat and to drink and to be merry, and this will stand by him in his toils throughout the days of his life which God has given him under the sun.

Enjoy life with the woman whom you love all the days of your fleeting life which He has given to you under the sun; for this is your reward in life and in your toil in which you have labored under the sun.

The words of wise men are like goads, and masters of these collections are like well-driven nails; they are given by one Shepherd.

‘The fig tree has ripened its figs,
And the vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance.
Arise, my darling, my beautiful one,
And come along!’”

“Let us rise early and go to the vineyards;
Let us see whether the vine has budded
And its blossoms have opened,
And whether the pomegranates have bloomed.
There I will give you my love.

“The mandrakes have given forth fragrance;
And over our doors are all choice fruits,
Both new and old,
Which I have saved up for you, my beloved.

“I would lead you and bring you
Into the house of my mother, who used to instruct me;
I would give you spiced wine to drink from the juice of my pomegranates.

“Many waters cannot quench love,
Nor will rivers overflow it;
If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love,
It would be utterly despised.”

Hear the word of the Lord,
You rulers of Sodom;
Give ear to the instruction of our God,
You people of Gomorrah.

There will be a shelter to give shade from the heat by day, and refuge and protection from the storm and the rain.

Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, a virgin will be with child and bear a son, and she will call His name Immanuel.

“Be broken, O peoples, and be shattered;
And give ear, all remote places of the earth.
Gird yourselves, yet be shattered;
Gird yourselves, yet be shattered.

Behold, I and the children whom the Lord has given me are for signs and wonders in Israel from the Lord of hosts, who dwells on Mount Zion.

For a child will be born to us, a son will be given to us;
And the government will rest on His shoulders;
And His name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Eternal Father, Prince of Peace.

Then you will say on that day,
“I will give thanks to You, O Lord;
For although You were angry with me,
Your anger is turned away,
And You comfort me.

And in that day you will say,
“Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name.
Make known His deeds among the peoples;
Make them remember that His name is exalted.”

And it will be in the day when the Lord gives you rest from your pain and turmoil and harsh service in which you have been enslaved,

“Give us advice, make a decision;
Cast your shadow like night at high noon;
Hide the outcasts, do not betray the fugitive.

In that day,” declares the Lord of hosts, “the peg driven in a firm place will give way; it will even break off and fall, and the load hanging on it will be cut off, for the Lord has spoken.”

Be ashamed, O Sidon;
For the sea speaks, the stronghold of the sea, saying,
“I have neither travailed nor given birth,
I have neither brought up young men nor reared virgins.”

He has stretched His hand out over the sea,
He has made the kingdoms tremble;
The Lord has given a command concerning Canaan to demolish its strongholds.

O Lord, You are my God;
I will exalt You, I will give thanks to Your name;
For You have worked wonders,
Plans formed long ago, with perfect faithfulness.

As the pregnant woman approaches the time to give birth,
She writhes and cries out in her labor pains,
Thus were we before You, O Lord.

Your dead will live;
Their corpses will rise.
You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy,
For your dew is as the dew of the dawn,
And the earth will give birth to the departed spirits.

“I have no wrath.
Should someone give Me briars and thorns in battle,
Then I would step on them, I would burn them completely.

He who said to them, “Here is rest, give rest to the weary,”
And, “Here is repose,” but they would not listen.

Give ear and hear my voice,
Listen and hear my words.

The entire vision will be to you like the words of a sealed book, which when they give it to the one who is literate, saying, “Please read this,” he will say, “I cannot, for it is sealed.”

Then the book will be given to the one who is illiterate, saying, “Please read this.” And he will say, “I cannot read.”

Although the Lord has given you bread of privation and water of oppression, He, your Teacher will no longer hide Himself, but your eyes will behold your Teacher.

Then He will give you rain for the seed which you will sow in the ground, and bread from the yield of the ground, and it will be rich and plenteous; on that day your livestock will graze in a roomy pasture.

Rise up, you women who are at ease,
And hear my voice;
Give ear to my word,
You complacent daughters.

“You have conceived chaff, you will give birth to stubble;
My breath will consume you like a fire.

He will dwell on the heights,
His refuge will be the impregnable rock;
His bread will be given him,
His water will be sure.

For the Lord’s indignation is against all the nations,
And His wrath against all their armies;
He has utterly destroyed them,
He has given them over to slaughter.

So their slain will be thrown out,
And their corpses will give off their stench,
And the mountains will be drenched with their blood.

It will blossom profusely
And rejoice with rejoicing and shout of joy.
The glory of Lebanon will be given to it,
The majesty of Carmel and Sharon.
They will see the glory of the Lord,
The majesty of our God.

Now therefore, come make a bargain with my master the king of Assyria, and I will give you two thousand horses, if you are able on your part to set riders on them.

nor let Hezekiah make you trust in the Lord, saying, “The Lord will surely deliver us, this city will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”

“Thus you shall say to Hezekiah king of Judah, ‘Do not let your God in whom you trust deceive you, saying, “Jerusalem will not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.”

“It is the living who give thanks to You, as I do today;
A father tells his sons about Your faithfulness.

He gives strength to the weary,
And to him who lacks might He increases power.

“Formerly I said to Zion, ‘Behold, here they are.’
And to Jerusalem, ‘I will give a messenger of good news.’

“But when I look, there is no one,
And there is no counselor among them
Who, if I ask, can give an answer.

Thus says God the Lord,
Who created the heavens and stretched them out,
Who spread out the earth and its offspring,
Who gives breath to the people on it
And spirit to those who walk in it,

“I am the Lord, that is My name;
I will not give My glory to another,
Nor My praise to graven images.

Let them give glory to the Lord
And declare His praise in the coastlands.

But this is a people plundered and despoiled;
All of them are trapped in caves,
Or are hidden away in prisons;
They have become a prey with none to deliver them,
And a spoil, with none to say, “Give them back!”

Who among you will give ear to this?
Who will give heed and listen hereafter?

“For I am the Lord your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior;
I have given Egypt as your ransom,
Cush and Seba in your place.

“Since you are precious in My sight,
Since you are honored and I love you,
I will give other men in your place and other peoples in exchange for your life.

“I will say to the north, ‘Give them up!’
And to the south, ‘Do not hold them back.’
Bring My sons from afar
And My daughters from the ends of the earth,

“The beasts of the field will glorify Me,
The jackals and the ostriches,
Because I have given waters in the wilderness
And rivers in the desert,
To give drink to My chosen people.

“I will give you the treasures of darkness
And hidden wealth of secret places,
So that you may know that it is I,
The Lord, the God of Israel, who calls you by your name.

“For the sake of Jacob My servant,
And Israel My chosen one,
I have also called you by your name;
I have given you a title of honor
Though you have not known Me.

“For My own sake, for My own sake, I will act;
For how can My name be profaned?
And My glory I will not give to another.

Thus says the Lord,
“In a favorable time I have answered You,
And in a day of salvation I have helped You;
And I will keep You and give You for a covenant of the people,
To restore the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages;

The Lord God has given Me the tongue of disciples,
That I may know how to sustain the weary one with a word.
He awakens Me morning by morning,
He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.

“Pay attention to Me, O My people,
And give ear to Me, O My nation;
For a law will go forth from Me,
And I will set My justice for a light of the peoples.

To them I will give in My house and within My walls a memorial,
And a name better than that of sons and daughters;
I will give them an everlasting name which will not be cut off.

“Of whom were you worried and fearful
When you lied, and did not remember Me
Nor give Me a thought?
Was I not silent even for a long time
So you do not fear Me?
