'Days' in the Bible

And that those days were to be kept in memory through every generation and every family, in every division of the kingdom and every town, that there might never be a time when these days of Purim would not be kept among the Jews, or when the memory of them would go from the minds of their seed.

Giving the force of law to these days of Purim at their fixed times, as they had been ordered by Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen, and in keeping with the rules they had made for themselves and their seed, in connection with their time of going without food and their cry for help.

And at the end of their days of feasting, Job sent and made them clean, getting up early in the morning and offering burned offerings for them all. For, Job said, It may be that my sons have done wrong and said evil of God in their hearts. And Job did this whenever the feasts came round.

And they took their seats on the earth by his side for seven days and seven nights: but no one said a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.

That night--let the thick dark take it; let it not have joy among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months.

Has not man his ordered time of trouble on the earth? and are not his days like the days of a servant working for payment?

My days go quicker than the cloth-worker's thread, and come to an end without hope.

I have no desire for life, I would not be living for ever! Keep away from me, for my days are as a breath.

(For we are but of yesterday, and have no knowledge, because our days on earth are gone like a shade:)

My days go quicker than a post-runner: they go in flight, they see no good.

Are your days as the days of man, or your years like his,

Are not the days of my life small in number? Let your eyes be turned away from me, so that I may have a little pleasure,

As for man, the son of woman, his days are short and full of trouble.

If his days are ordered, and you have knowledge of the number of his months, having given him a fixed limit past which he may not go;

If death takes a man, will he come to life again? All the days of my trouble I would be waiting, till the time came for me to be free.

The evil man is in pain all his days, and the number of the years stored up for the cruel is small.

My spirit is broken, my days are ended, the last resting-place is ready for me.

My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the desires of my heart.

Their days come to an end without trouble, and suddenly they go down to the underworld.

Why are times not stored up by the Ruler of all, and why do those who have knowledge of him not see his days?

If only I might again be as I was in the months which are past, in the days when God was watching over me!

Then I said, I will come to my end with my children round me, my days will be as the sand in number;

But now my soul is turned to water in me, days of trouble overtake me:

My feelings are strongly moved, and give me no rest; days of trouble have overtaken me.

(For I was cared for by God as by a father from my earliest days; he was my guide from the body of my mother;)

Then his flesh becomes young again, and he comes back to the days of his early strength;

Have you, from your earliest days, given orders to the morning, or made the dawn conscious of its place;

No doubt you have knowledge of it, for then you had come to birth, and the number of your days is great.

And all his brothers and sisters, and his friends of earlier days, came and took food with him in his house; and made clear their grief for him, and gave him comfort for all the evil which the Lord had sent on him; and they all gave him a bit of money and a gold ring.

And Job came to his end, old and full of days.

One prayer have I made to the Lord, and this is my heart's desire; that I may have a place in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, looking on his glory, and getting wisdom in his Temple.

What man has a love of life, and a desire that his days may be increased so that he may see good?

The days of the upright are numbered by the Lord, and their heritage will be for ever.

They will not be shamed in the evil time, and in the days when all are in need of food they will have enough.

Lord, give me knowledge of my end, and of the measure of my days, so that I may see how feeble I am.

You have made my days no longer than a hand's measure; and my years are nothing in your eyes; truly, every man is but a breath. (Selah.)

May the Lord God of Israel be praised, through eternal days and for ever. So be it. So be it.

It has come to our ears, O God, our fathers have given us the story, of the works which you did in their days, in the old times,

What cause have I for fear in the days of evil, when the evil-doing of those who are working for my downfall is round about me?

But you, O God, will send them down into the underworld; the cruel and the false will be cut off before half their days are ended; but I will have faith in you.

In his days may the upright do well, living in peace as long as there is a moon in heaven.

Keep in mind your band of worshippers, for whom you gave payment in the days which are past, whom you took for yourself as the people of your heritage; even this mountain of Zion, which has been your resting-place.

My thoughts go back to the days of the past, to the years which are gone.

So their days were wasted like a breath, and their years in trouble.

So that you may give him rest from the days of evil, till a hole is made ready for the destruction of the sinners.

As for man, his days are as grass: his beautiful growth is like the flower of the field.

He has let my request come before him, and I will make my prayer to him all my days.

Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book all my days were recorded, even those which were purposed before they had come into being.

For they will give you increase of days, years of life, and peace.

From eternal days I was given my place, from the birth of time, before the earth was.

For by me your days will be increased, and the years of your life will be long.

All the days of the troubled are evil; but he whose heart is glad has an unending feast.

She does him good and not evil all the days of her life.

I made a search with my heart to give pleasure to my flesh with wine, still guiding my heart with wisdom, and to go after foolish things, so that I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under the heavens all the days of their life.

Of the wise man, as of the foolish man, there is no memory for ever, seeing that those who now are will have gone from memory in the days to come. See how death comes to the wise as to the foolish!

All his days are sorrow, and his work is full of grief. Even in the night his heart has no rest. This again is to no purpose.

All his days are in the dark, and he has much sorrow, pain, disease, and trouble.

This is what I have seen: it is good and fair for a man to take meat and drink and to have joy in all his work under the sun, all the days of his life which God has given him; that is his reward.

He will not give much thought to the days of his life; because God lets him be taken up with the joy of his heart.

If a man has a hundred children, and his life is long so that the days of his years are great in number, but his soul takes no pleasure in good, and he is not honoured at his death; I say that a birth before its time is better than he.

Who is able to say what is good for man in life all the days of his foolish life which he goes through like a shade? who will say what is to be after him under the sun?

Say not, Why were the days which have gone by better than these? Such a question comes not from wisdom.

These two have I seen in my life which is to no purpose: a good man coming to his end in his righteousness, and an evil man whose days are long in his evil-doing.

There is no man on earth of such righteousness that he does good and is free from sin all his days.

But it will not be well for the evil-doer; he will not make his days long like a shade, because he has no fear before God.

So I gave praise to joy, because there is nothing better for a man to do under the sun than to take meat and drink and be happy; for that will be with him in his work all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.

Have joy with the woman of your love all the days of your foolish life which he gives you under the sun. Because that is your part in life and in your work which you do under the sun.

But even if a man's life is long and he has joy in all his years, let him keep in mind the dark days, because they will be great in number. Whatever may come is to no purpose.

Have joy, O young man, while you are young; and let your heart be glad in the days of your strength, and go in the ways of your heart, and in the desire of your eyes; but be certain that for all these things God will be your judge.

Let your mind be turned to your Maker in the days of your strength, while the evil days come not, and the years are far away when you will say, I have no pleasure in them;

The vision of Isaiah, the son of Amoz, which he saw about Judah and Jerusalem, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah.

And it will come about in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord will be placed on the top of the mountains, and be lifted up over the hills; and all nations will come to it.

Now it came about in the days of Ahaz, the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, that Rezin, the king of Aram, and Pekah, the son of Remaliah, the king of Israel, came up to Jerusalem to make war against it, but were not able to overcome it.

The Lord is about to send on you, and on your people, and on your father's house, such a time of trouble as there has not been from the days of the separating of Ephraim from Judah; even the coming of the king of Assyria.

And wolves will be answering one another in their towers, and jackals in their houses of pleasure: her time is near, and her days of power will quickly be ended.

And it will be in that day that Tyre will go out of mind for seventy years, that is, the days of one king: after the end of seventy years it will be for Tyre as in the song of the loose woman.

In days to come Jacob will take root: Israel will put out buds and flowers; and the face of the world will be full of fruit.

And the light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times greater, as the light of seven days, in the day when the Lord puts oil on the wounds of his people, and makes them well from the blows they have undergone.

In those days Hezekiah was ill and near death. And Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, came to him, and said to him, The Lord says, Put your house in order; for your death is near.

I said, In the quiet of my days I am going down into the underworld: the rest of my years are being taken away from me.

O Lord, quickly be my saviour; so we will make my songs to corded instruments all the days of our lives in the house of the Lord.

Truly, the days are coming when everything in your house, and whatever your fathers have put in store till this day, will be taken away to Babylon: all will be gone.

Then said Hezekiah to Isaiah, Good is the word of the Lord which you have said. And he said in his heart, There will be peace and quiet in my days.

Give ear to me, O family of Jacob, and all the rest of the people of Israel, who have been supported by me from their birth, and have been my care from their earliest days:

Go on now with your secret arts, and all your wonder-working, to which you have given yourself up from your earliest days; it may be that they will be of profit to you, or by them you may put fear into your attackers.

Small profit have you had from those who, from your earliest days, got great profit out of you; they have gone in flight, every one straight before him, and you have no saviour.

Truly you had no word of them, no knowledge of them; no news of them in the past had come to your ears; because I saw how false was your behaviour, and that your heart was turned against me from your earliest days.

Awake! awake! put on strength, O arm of the Lord, awake! as in the old days, in the generations long past. Was it not by you that Rahab was cut in two, and the dragon Wounded?

Have no fear; for you will not be shamed or without hope: you will not be put to shame, for the shame of your earlier days will go out of your memory, and you will no longer keep in mind the sorrows of your widowed years.

For the Lord has made you come back to him, like a wife who has been sent away in grief of spirit; for one may not give up the wife of one's early days.

For this is like the days of Noah to me: for as I took an oath that the waters of Noah would never again go over the earth, so have I taken an oath that I will not again be angry with you, or say bitter words to you.

They say, Why have we kept ourselves from food, and you do not see it? why have we kept ourselves from pleasure, and you take no note of it? If, in the days when you keep from food, you take the chance to do your business, and get in your debts;

If keeping from food makes you quickly angry, ready for fighting and giving blows with evil hands; your holy days are not such as to make your voice come to my ears on high.

Your sun will never again go down, or your moon keep back her light: for the Lord will be your eternal light, and the days of your sorrow will be ended.

Then the early days came to their minds, the days of Moses his servant: and they said, Where is he who made the keeper of his flock come up from the sea? where is he who put his holy spirit among them,

For you are our father, though Abraham has no knowledge of us, and Israel gives no thought to us: you, O Lord, are our father; from the earliest days you have taken up our cause.

No longer will there be there a child whose days are cut short, or an old man whose days have not come to their full measure: for the young man at his death will be a hundred years old, and he whose life is shorter than a hundred years will seem as one cursed.

They will no longer be building for the use of others, or planting for others to have the fruit: for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my loved ones will have joy in full measure in the work of their hands.

To whom the word of the Lord came in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his rule.

And it came again in the days of Jehoiakim, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, up to the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah; till Jerusalem was taken away in the fifth month.
