Therefore God's people return there and drink it all in like water until they're satiated.

Take a good look! This is what the wicked are like, those who always have it so easy and get richer and richer.

If I would make clear what it is like, I would say, You are false to the generation of your children.

As a dream when one is awake, they are ended; they are like an image gone out of mind when sleep is over.

As for me, I was foolish, and without knowledge; I was like a beast before you.

For behold, those who are far from You will perish;
You have destroyed all those who are unfaithful and have abandoned You.

Sending out their voices like lions among your worshippers; they have put up their signs to be seen.

They are cutting down, like a man whose blade is lifted up against the thick trees.

O God, in holiness is Thy way, Who is a great god like God?

You were guiding your people like a flock, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.

And not be like their fathers, a stiff-necked and uncontrolled generation; a generation whose heart was hard, whose spirit was not true to God.

Like as the children of Ephraim, which being harnessed and carrying bows, turned themselves back in the time of battle:

He split the sea and caused them to go over, and he caused waters to stand like a heap.

He split the rocks in the wilderness
And gave them abundant drink like the ocean depths.

He made streams come out of the rock; and waters came flowing down like rivers.

And he sent down manna like rain for their food, and gave them the grain of heaven.

He sent down meat on them like dust, and feathered birds like the sand of the sea,

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

He remembered that they were made of flesh, and were like a wind that blows past and does not return.

But he took his people out like sheep, guiding them in the waste land like a flock.

Their hearts were turned back and untrue like their fathers; they were turned to one side like a twisted bow.

Then was the Lord like one awaking from sleep, and like a strong man crying out because of wine.

And he made his holy place like the high heaven, like the earth which is fixed by him for ever.

Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them.

How long, LORD? wilt thou be angry for ever? shall thy jealousy burn like fire?

Give ear, O Keeper of Israel, guiding Joseph like a flock; you who have your seat on the winged ones, let your glory be seen.

The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.

A testimony in Joseph, he appointed it, When he went forth over the land of Egypt: A language I liked not, used I to hear;

However, you will die like men
and fall like any other ruler.”

Make them like Midian, like Sisera, like Jabin, by the torrent of Kishon;

They were destroyed at Endor; their corpses were like manure on the ground.

Make their nobles like Oreb and Zeeb,
and all their tribal leaders like Zebah and Zalmunna,

Make them like tumbleweed, my God,
like straw before the wind.

Like the fire that burns down the forest, or the flames that consume the mountainsides,

Faith comes up from the earth like a plant; righteousness is looking down from heaven.

Lord, there is no one like You among the gods,
and there are no works like Yours.

I am counted among those going down to the Pit.
I am like a man without strength,

abandoned among the dead.
I am like the slain lying in the grave,
whom You no longer remember,
and who are cut off from Your care.

I am in misery, and like unto him that is at the point to die; even from my youth up, thy terrors have I suffered with a troubled mind.

They surround me like water all day long;
they close in on me from every side.

For who in the skies can compare with the Lord?
Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord?

Lord God of Hosts,
who is strong like You, Lord?
Your faithfulness surrounds You.

You crushed Rahab like one who is slain;
You scattered Your enemies with Your powerful arm.

His seed will keep their place for ever; his kingdom will be eternal, like the heavens.

His offspring will continue forever,
his throne like the sun before Me,

like the moon, established forever,
a faithful witness in the sky.”Selah

How long, Lord? Will You hide Yourself forever?
Will Your anger keep burning like fire?

For in Your sight a thousand years
are like yesterday that passes by,
like a few hours of the night.

You end their lives; they sleep.
They are like grass that grows in the morning—

You have placed our wickedness before you,
Our secret sins [which we tried to conceal, You have placed] in the [revealing] light of Your presence.

For all our days ebb away under Your wrath;
we end our years like a sigh.

He will shelter you with his wings; you will find safety under his wings. His faithfulness is like a shield or a protective wall.

though the wicked sprout like grass
and all evildoers flourish,
they will be eternally destroyed.

You have lifted up my horn
like that of a wild ox;
I have been anointed with oil.

The righteous thrive like a palm tree
and grow like a cedar tree in Lebanon.

He says, "Do not be stubborn like they were at Meribah, like they were that day at Massah in the wilderness,

The mountains melt like wax
at the presence of the Lord—
at the presence of the Lord of all the earth.

Light is sown like seed for the righteous
And gladness for the upright in heart.

For my days vanish like smoke,
and my bones burn like a furnace.

My heart is afflicted, withered like grass;
I even forget to eat my food.

I am like a desert owl,
like an owl among the ruins.

I stay awake;
I am like a solitary bird on a roof.

I eat ashes like bread
and mingle my drinks with tears

My days are like a lengthening shadow,
and I wither away like grass.

They will perish, but You will endure;
all of them will wear out like clothing.
You will change them like a garment,
and they will pass away.

He satisfies you with goodness;
your youth is renewed like the eagle.

Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

As for man, his days are like grass—
he blooms like a flower of the field;

He wraps Himself in light as if it were a robe,
spreading out the sky like a canopy,

The watery deep covered it like a garment; the waters reached above the mountains.

like wine that makes the heart of people happy, oil that makes the face glow, and food that sustains people.

like the covenant he made with Abraham, and his promise to Isaac.

He gave them hail for rain,
With flaming fire in their land.

He opened a rock, and water gushed out;
it flowed like a stream in the desert.

We have sinned like our ancestors; we have done wrong, we have done evil.

Therefore, they became unclean because of what they did; they have acted like whores by their evil deeds.

They acted like fools in their rebellious ways, and suffered because of their sins.

they reeled and staggered like drunken men,
and all their skill was useless.

But He lifts the needy out of their suffering
and makes their families multiply like flocks.

He wore cursing like his coat—
let it enter his body like water
and go into his bones like oil.

Let it be like a robe he wraps around himself,
like a belt he always wears.

I fade away like a lengthening shadow;
I am shaken off like a locust.

My accusers will be clothed with disgrace;
they will wear their shame like a cloak.

The Lord has sworn an oath and will not take it back:
“Forever, You are a priest
like Melchizedek.”

Who is like Yahweh our God—
the One enthroned on high,

The mountains skipped like rams,
the hills, like lambs.

Mountains, that you skipped like rams?
Hills, like lambs?

Those who make them are just like them,
as are all who trust in them.

They surrounded me like bees;
they were extinguished like a fire among thorns;
in the name of Yahweh I destroyed them.

In the way of thy testimonies, have I rejoiced, Like as over all riches.

I am like a foreigner in this land. Do not hide your commands from me!

Their heart [is] insensitive like fat; As for me, I take delight in your law.

For I am become like a wineskin in the smoke; yet do I not forget your statutes.

You put away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love your testimonies.

I am delighted by your saying, like a man who makes discovery of great wealth.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek your servant; for I do not forget your commandments.

Like a sharp arrow from a warrior, along with fiery coals from juniper trees!

Jerusalem is built like a city that is all joined together as one;

Like a servant’s eyes on his master’s hand,
like a servant girl’s eyes on her mistress’s hand,
so our eyes are on the Lord our God
until He shows us favor.

We have escaped like a bird from the hunter’s net;
the net is torn, and we have escaped.
