'Ever' in the Bible

Cross over to Cyprus and take a look.Send someone to Kedar and consider carefully;see if there has ever been anything like this:

Has a nation ever exchanged its gods?(But they were not gods!)Yet My people have exchanged their Gloryfor useless idols.

I will allow you to live in this place, the land I gave to your ancestors long ago and forever.

You planted them, and they have taken root.They have grown and produced fruit.You are ever on their lips,but far from their conscience.

Does the snow of Lebanon ever leave the highland crags?Or does cold water flowing from a distance ever fail?

He announced, ‘Turn, each of you, from your evil way of life and from your evil deeds. Live in the land the Lord gave to you and your ancestors long ago and forever.

this is what the Lord says: I am about to punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite and his descendants. There will not be even one of his descendants living among these people, nor will any ever see the good that I will bring to My people”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“for he has preached rebellion against the Lord.”

Wasn’t Israel a laughingstock to you? Was he ever found among thieves? For whenever you speak of him you shake your head.”
