She looked around, and there was the king, standing by his pillar at the gate, accompanied by officers and trumpeters who stood beside the king, along with all the people of the land rejoicing and sounding trumpets while singers lead the celebration with their musical instruments. Athaliah tore her robes and yelled "Treason! Treason!"

Then Jehoiada the priest's son Zechariah was clothed by the Spirit of God, and he stood above the people and told them, "This is what God has to say: "Why are you breaking the LORD's commandments. You'll never be successful! Because you have abandoned the LORD, he has abandoned you.'"

As a result, the Passover service was prepared, the priests took their assigned places, and the descendants of Levi stood in their divisions as the king had commanded.

Ezra the scribe stood on a wooden rostrum erected for that purpose. Beside him to his right stood Mattithiah, Shema, Anaiah, Uriah, Hilkiah, and Maasseiah. Beside him to his left stood Pedaiah, Mishael, Malchijah, Hashum, Hashbaddanah, Zechariah, and Meshullam.

He would have destroyed them but for Moses, his chosen one, who stood in the breach before him to avert his destructive wrath.

The seraphim stood above him. Each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he was flying.

All the kings of the nations lie in state, each in his own tomb.

Then Jeremiah went from Topheth where the LORD had sent him to prophesy. He stood in the courtyard of the LORD's Temple, saying to all the people,

If they had stood in my council and had delivered my words to my people, then they would have turned them back from their evil way, from their evil deeds."

They moved around whenever they wanted to move around, and they stood still whenever they wanted to stand still; and whenever they rose from the earth, the wheels remained close beside them, because the wheels were also alive.

A sound came from above the canopy that was spread out over their heads. Whenever they stood still, they lowered their wings.

He issued this order to the man who was clothed in white linen: "Take fire from within the whirling wheels, among the cherubim." So he went and stood beside the wheels.

When they stood still, the wheels stood still. When they rose up, the wheels rose up, too, because they were alive.

Then the glory of the LORD moved away from the threshold of the Temple and stood over the cherubim.

The cherubim lifted their wings and rose above the earth while I watched. They went out, along with their wheels, and stood at the entrance to the east gate of the LORD's Temple as the glory of Israel's God remained above, covering them.

The glory of the LORD went up from the middle of the city and stood on the mountain, east of the city.

So I prophesied as I had been ordered, breath entered them, and they began to live. They stood on their own feet as a vast, united army.

That's where he took me. All of a sudden, there was a man whose appearance resembled glowing bronze! He had a measuring reed and line in his hand as he stood in the city gate.

Gate guardhouses stood facing east, numbering three on each side, each of them of equal size to the door jamb; that is, having the same measurement on each side.

The retaining wall in front of the guardhouses measured one cubit wide. It stood one cubit from the wall to the guardhouses, which were six cubits square.

From a gate that stood opposite the northern gate he measured 100 cubits, as well as from the eastern gate.

Next, he measured 100 cubits as the length of the structure toward the front of the courtyard that stood behind it, where it housed a gallery on each side of it. Then he measured the Temple and the inner porticos of the courtyard,

the thresholds, the shielded windows, and the surrounding three-storied galleries that stood opposite. From the ground to the shielded windows, they were paneled with wood all around,

Then he brought me to the outer, north-facing courtyard into the chamber that stood opposite the structure that was facing north.

It stood 100 cubits long and 50 cubits wide, with a door in the middle.

Astonished, King Nebuchadnezzar stood up in terror, and asked his advisors, "Didn't we throw three men into the fire, bound firmly with ropes?" In reply they told the king, "Yes, your majesty."

He told me, "Daniel, man highly regarded, understand the message that I'm about to relate to you. Stand up, because I've been sent to you.' When he spoke this statement to me, I stood there trembling.

"Then while I, Daniel, continued watching, suddenly two others stood there, one on this side of the river bank and one on the other side.

This is what he showed me: Look! The Lord was standing upon a wall that stood straight and true, with a plumb line in his hand.

But Jesus took his hand and helped him up, and he stood up.

Then some men stood up and gave false testimony against him, saying,

Meanwhile, the high priests and the scribes stood nearby and continued to accuse him vehemently.

Meanwhile, the people stood looking on. The leaders were mocking him by saying, "He saved others. Let him save himself, if he is the Messiah of God, the chosen one!"

While they were puzzling over this, two men in dazzling robes suddenly stood beside them.

On the same day, two of Jesus' followers were walking to a village called Emmaus, about 60 stadia from Jerusalem.

He asked them, "What are you discussing with each other as you're walking along?" They stood still and looked gloomy.
