If I have the king's approval, and if it is the king's pleasure to give me my prayer and do my request, let the king and Haman come to the feast which I will make ready for them, and tomorrow I will do as the king has said.

And Haman said further, Truly, Esther the queen let no man but myself come in to the feast which she had made ready for the king; and tomorrow again I am to be her guest with the king.

Then the king said, Who is in the outer room? Now Haman had come into the outer room to get the king's authority for the hanging of Mordecai on the pillar which he had made ready for him.

And the king's servants said to him, See, Haman is waiting in the outer room. And the king said, Let him come in.

Then King Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, See now, I have given Esther the family of Haman, and he has come to his death by hanging, because he made an attack on the Jews.

In these letters the king gave authority to the Jews in every town to come together and make a fight for their lives, and to send death and destruction on the power of any people in any part of the kingdom attacking them or their children or their women, and to take their goods from them by force,

And in every part of the kingdom and in every town, wherever the king's letter and his order came, the Jews were glad with great joy, and had a feast and a good day. And a great number of the people of the land became Jews: for the fear of the Jews had come on them.

Now on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar, when the time came for the king's order to be put into effect, on the very day when the haters of the Jews had been hoping to have rule over them; though the opposite had come about, and the Jews had rule over their haters;

On that day, the Jews came together in their towns through all the divisions of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, for the purpose of attacking all those who were attempting evil against them: and everyone had to give way before them, for the fear of them had come on all the peoples.

And all the chiefs and the captains and the rulers and those who did the king's business gave support to the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai had come on them.

So these days were named Purim, after the name of Pur. And so, because of the words of this letter, and of what they had seen in connection with this business, and what had come to them,

And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.

And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.

And Job's three friends had word of all this evil which had come on him. And they came every one from his place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. So they came together to a meeting-place, in order that they might go and make clear to Job their grief for him, and give him comfort.

Let destruction take the day of my birth, and the night on which it was said, A man child has come into the world.

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.

Or as a child dead at birth I might never have come into existence; like young children who have not seen the light.

There the passions of the evil are over, and those whose strength has come to an end have rest.

Who are glad with great joy, and full of delight when they come to their last resting-place;

In place of my food I have grief, and cries of sorrow come from me like water.

But now it has come on you and it is a weariness to you; you are touched by it and your mind is troubled.

Have you ever seen destruction come to an upright man? or when were the god-fearing ever cut off?

Between morning and evening they are completely broken; they come to an end for ever, and no one takes note.

If their tent-cord is pulled up, do they not come to an end, and without wisdom?

For evil does not come out of the dust, or trouble out of the earth;

He will keep you safe from six troubles, and in seven no evil will come near you.

You will come to your last resting-place in full strength, as the grain is taken up to the crushing-floor in its time.

See, we have made search with care, and it is so; it has come to our ears; see that you take note of it for yourself.

My friends have been false like a stream, like streams in the valleys which come to an end:

Under the burning sun they are cut off, and come to nothing because of the heat.

The camel-trains go out of their way; they go up into the waste and come to destruction.

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

He will not come back to his house, and his place will have no more knowledge of him.

So I will not keep my mouth shut; I will let the words come from it in the pain of my spirit, my soul will make a bitter outcry.

Will the river-plant come up in its pride without wet earth? will the grass get tall without water?

The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

If I had sent for him to be present, and he had come, I would have no faith that he would give ear to my voice.

For he is not a man as I am, that I might give him an answer, that we might come together before a judge.

That, if I was an evil-doer, the curse would come on me; and if I was upright, my head would not be lifted up, being full of shame and overcome with trouble.

Why then did you make me come out of my mother's body? It would have been better for me to have taken my last breath, and for no eye to have seen me,

Before I go to the place from which I will not come back, to the land where all is dark and black,

No doubt you have knowledge, and wisdom will come to an end with you.

Truly, my eye has seen all this, word of it has come to my ear, and I have knowledge of it.

Keep quiet, and let me say what is in my mind, whatever may come to me.

And that will be my salvation, for an evil-doer would not come before him,

Only two things do not do to me, then I will come before your face:

If only a clean thing might come out of an unclean! But it is not possible.

For there is hope of a tree; if it is cut down, it will come to life again, and its branches will not come to an end.

So man goes down to his last resting-place and comes not again: till the heavens come to an end, they will not be awake or come out of their sleep.

If only you would keep me safe in the underworld, putting me in a secret place till your wrath is past, giving me a fixed time when I might come to your memory again!

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.

His sons come to honour, and he has no knowledge of it; they are made low, but he is not conscious of it.

Were you the first man to come into the world? or did you come into being before the hills?

A sound of fear is in his ears; in time of peace destruction will come on him:

He does not come out of the dark; his branches are burned by the flame, and the wind takes away his bud.

He is like a vine whose grapes do not come to full growth, or an olive-tree dropping its flowers.

Such things have frequently come to my ears: you are comforters who only give trouble.

It has come up as a witness against me, and the wasting of my flesh makes answer to my face.

Their mouths are open wide against me; the blows of his bitter words are falling on my face; all of them come together in a mass against me.

His bowmen come round about me; their arrows go through my body without mercy; my life is drained out on the earth.

For in a short time I will take the journey from which I will not come back.

But come back, now, all of you, come; and I will not see a wise man among you.

But come back, now, come: you who are wounding yourself in your passion, will the earth be given up because of you, or a rock be moved out of its place?

His armies come on together, they make their road high against me, and put up their tents round mine.

But I am certain that he who will take up my cause is living, and that in time to come he will take his place on the dust;

He had never enough for his desire; for this cause his well-being will quickly come to an end.

God gives him his desire, and sends the heat of his wrath on him, making it come down on him like rain.

Their houses are free from fear, and the rod of God does not come on them.

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

How frequently is the light of the evil-doers put out, or does trouble come on them? how frequently does his wrath take them with cords?

The earth of the valley covering his bones is sweet to him, and all men come after him, as there were unnumbered before him.

If you come back to the Ruler of all, making yourself low before him; if you put evil far away from your tents;

Your purposes will come about, and light will be shining on your ways.

If only I had knowledge of where he might be seen, so that I might come even to his seat!

For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like gold.

From the town come sounds of pain from those who are near death, and the soul of the wounded is crying out for help; but God does not take note of their prayer.

Let it be far from me! I will certainly not say that you are right! I will come to death before I give up my righteousness.

Will his cry come to the ears of God when he is in trouble?

When those of his house who are still living come to their end by disease, they are not put into the earth, and their widows are not weeping for them.

He keeps back the streams from flowing, and makes the secret things come out into the light.

From where then does wisdom come, and where is the resting-place of knowledge?

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

They have made waste my roads, with a view to my destruction; his bowmen come round about me;

As through a wide broken place in the wall they come on, I am overturned by the shock of their attack.

Fears have come on me; my hope is gone like the wind, and my well-being like a cloud.

Then in place of grain let thorns come up, and in place of barley evil-smelling plants.

Fear has overcome them, they have no more answers to give; they have come to an end of words.

If you are able, give me an answer; put your cause in order, and come forward.

If he made his spirit come back to him, taking his breath into himself again,

All flesh would come to an end together, and man would go back to the dust.

Suddenly they come to an end, even in the middle of the night: the blow comes on the men of wealth, and they are gone, and the strong are taken away without the hand of man.

For he does not give man a fixed time to come before him to be judged.

So that the cry of the poor might come up to him, and the prayer of those in need come to his ears.

Job's words do not come from knowledge; they are not the fruit of wisdom.

But if not, they come to their end, and give up their breath without knowledge.

They come to their end while they are still young, their life is short like that of those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of their gods.

For he says to the snow, Make the earth wet; and to the rain-storm, Come down.

For a rod, or for a curse, or for mercy, causing it to come on the mark.

How may he have knowledge of my desire for talk with him? or did any man ever say, May destruction come on me?

And said, So far you may come, and no farther; and here the pride of your waves will be stopped?
