'Devise' in the Bible

We will certainly die and be like water poured out on the ground, which can’t be recovered. But God would not take away a life; He would devise plans so that the one banished from Him does not remain banished.

King Ahasuerus spoke up and asked Queen Esther, “Who is this, and where is the one who would devise such a scheme?”

Though they intend to harm youand devise a wicked plan, they will not prevail.

They devise crimes and say,“We have perfected a secret plan.”The inner man and the heart are mysterious.

They devise clever schemes against Your people;they conspire against Your treasured ones.

Devise a plan; it will fail.Make a prediction; it will not happen.For God is with us.

“This is what the Lord God says: On that day, thoughts will arise in your mind, and you will devise an evil plan.
