And it came to pass when Jehovah would take up Elijah into the heavens by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.

And Elisha said, As Jehovah of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee nor see thee.

And she said to her mistress, Oh, would that my lord were before the prophet that is in Samaria! then he would cure him of his leprosy.

And the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God and said, Behold, if Jehovah should make windows in the heavens, would this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

And the captain answered the man of God and said, Behold, if Jehovah should make windows in the heavens, would such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

But Jehovah would not destroy Judah, for David his servant's sake, as he had promised him to give him always a lamp for his sons.

And Jehovah was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and had respect to them, because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and he would not destroy them, neither did he cast them from his presence up to that time.

But Amaziah would not hear. And Jehoash king of Israel went up; and they looked one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Beth-shemesh, which is in Judah.

And Jehovah had not said that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the heavens; and he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.

But they would not hear, and hardened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, who did not believe in Jehovah their God.

because they hearkened not to the voice of Jehovah their God, but transgressed his covenant, all that Moses the servant of Jehovah commanded; and they would not hear nor do it.

But they would not hearken, and Manasseh led them astray to do more evil than the nations that Jehovah had destroyed from before the children of Israel.

and also because of the innocent blood that he had shed; for he had filled Jerusalem with innocent blood, and Jehovah would not pardon.

Then said Saul to his armour-bearer, Draw thy sword, and thrust me through with it; lest these uncircumcised come and abuse me. But his armour-bearer would not; for he was much afraid. So Saul took the sword and fell on it.

And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me to drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate!

And the three broke through the camp of the Philistines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem, which is in the gate, and took it, and brought it to David; David however would not drink of it, but poured it out to Jehovah.

And he said, My God forbid it me, that I should do this thing! should I drink the blood of these men who went at the risk of their lives? for at the risk of their lives they brought it. Therefore he would not drink it. These things did the three mighty men.

And the servants of Hadarezer saw that they were routed before Israel, and they made peace with David, and became his servants. And the Syrians would no more help the children of Ammon.

And David took not their number from twenty years old and under; for Jehovah had said he would increase Israel as the stars of heaven.

Then said Solomon: Jehovah said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

And when he humbled himself, the anger of Jehovah turned away from him, that he would not destroy him altogether; and also in Judah there were good things.

and that whoever would not seek Jehovah the God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.

But Jehovah would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he had promised to give to him always a lamp, and to his sons.

And he sent prophets among them to bring them again to Jehovah, and they testified against them; but they would not give ear.

But Amaziah would not hear; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the enemy's hand, because they had sought after the gods of Edom.

But Josiah would not turn his face from him, but disguised himself, that he might fight against him; and he hearkened not to the words of Necho from the mouth of God; and he came to fight in the valley of Megiddo.

and they came to Zerubbabel and to the chief fathers, and said to them, We would build with you; for we seek your God, as ye; and we have sacrificed to him since the days of Esar-haddon king of Assyria, who brought us up hither.

Then Ezra arose, and made the chiefs of the priests, of the Levites, and of all Israel, to swear that they would do according to this word. And they swore.

and that whosoever would not come within three days, according to the counsel of the princes and the elders, all his substance should be confiscated, and himself separated from the congregation of those that had been carried away.

And Tobijah the Ammonite was by him, and he said, Even that which they build, if a fox went up, it would break down their stone wall. --

For they all would have made us afraid, saying, Their hands shall be slackened from the work, that it be not carried out. Now therefore strengthen my hands!

My God, remember Tobijah and Sanballat according to these their works, and also the prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the prophets who would have put me in fear.

And the children went in and possessed the land; and thou subduedst before them the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, and gavest them into their hands, both their kings and the peoples of the land, that they might do with them as they would.

And thou testifiedst against them, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law; but they dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but sinned against thine ordinances (which if a man do, he shall live in them); and they withdrew the shoulder, and hardened their neck, and would not hear.

And many years didst thou forbear with them, and testifiedst against them by thy Spirit through thy prophets; but they would not give ear: and thou gavest them into the hand of the peoples of the lands.

and that we would not give our daughters to the peoples of the land, nor take their daughters for our sons:

and that if the peoples of the land brought wares or any grain on the sabbath day to sell, we would not take it of them on the sabbath, or on any holy day; and that we would leave the land uncultivated the seventh year, and the exaction of every debt.

And it came to pass as they spoke daily to him, and he hearkened not to them, that they informed Haman, to see whether Mordecai's matters would stand; for he had told them that he was a Jew.

So Haman came in. And the king said to him, What is to be done with the man whom the king delights to honour? Now Haman thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to me?

And the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword and slaughter and destruction, and did what they would to those that hated them.

the Jews ordained and took upon them, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined themselves to them, so that it should not fail, that they would observe these two days according to their writing and according to their fixed time, every year;

For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; therefore my words are vehement.

Oh that I might have my request, and that +God would grant my desire!

And that it would please +God to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!

Then should I yet have comfort; and in the pain which spareth not I would rejoice that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

Whilst he would fill thy mouth with laughing and thy lips with shouting,

Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to my judge.

If I had called, and he had answered me, I would not believe that he hearkened to my voice, --

If I justified myself, mine own mouth would condemn me; were I perfect, he would prove me perverse.

Were I perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.

Then wouldest thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes would abhor me.

But oh that +God would speak, and open his lips against thee;

And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, how that they are the double of what is realised; and know that +God passeth by much of thine iniquity!

Oh that ye would be altogether silent! and it would be your wisdom.

Behold, if he slay me, yet would I trust in him; but I will defend mine own ways before him.

(If a man die, shall he live again?) all the days of my time of toil would I wait, till my change should come:

Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee; thou wouldest have a desire after the work of thy hands.

But I would encourage you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips should assuage your pain.

Oh would that my words were written! oh that they were inscribed in a book!

I would order the cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments;

I would know the words he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.

Would he plead against me with his great power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.

There would an upright man reason with him; and I should be delivered for ever from my judge.

And God shall cast upon him and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.

For what would have been my portion of +God from above, and what the heritage of the Almighty from on high?

For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.

This also would be an iniquity for the judge, for I should have denied the God who is above.

Would I not take it upon my shoulder? I would bind it on to me as a crown;

I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I come near to him.

For I know not how to flatter; my Maker would soon take me away.

All flesh would expire together, and man would return to the dust.

Because they have turned back from him, and would consider none of his ways;

Would that Job may be tried unto the end, because of his answers after the manner of evil men!

Even so would he have allured thee out of the jaws of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and the supply of thy table would be full of fatness.

Shall it be told him if I would speak? if a man so say, surely he shall be swallowed up.

He maketh the path to shine after him: one would think the deep to be hoary.

Let them not say in their heart, Aha! so would we have it. Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath; fret not thyself: it would be only to do evil.

Thou, O Jehovah my God, hast multiplied thy marvellous works, and thy thoughts toward us: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee; would I declare and speak them, they are more than can be numbered.

Would not God search this out? for he knoweth the secrets of the heart.

If I were hungry, I would not tell thee; for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.

For thou desirest not sacrifice; else would I give it: thou hast no pleasure in burnt-offering.

And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away, and be at rest;

Behold, I would flee afar off, I would lodge in the wilderness; Selah;

I would hasten my escape from the stormy wind, from the tempest.

For it is not an enemy that hath reproached me then could I have borne it; neither is it he that hateth me that hath magnified himself against me then would I have hidden myself from him;

{To the chief Musician. On Jonathelem-rechokim. Of David. Michtam; when the Philistines took him in Gath.} Be gracious unto me, O God; for man would swallow me up: all the day long fighting he oppresseth me.

Mine enemies would swallow me up all the day long; for they are many that fight against me haughtily.

He will send from the heavens and save me; he hath covered with reproach him that would swallow me up. Selah. God hath sent forth his loving-kindness and his truth.

Had I regarded iniquity in my heart, the Lord would not hear.

They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head; they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.

But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me.

I would soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.

The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever.

And he would have fed them with the finest of wheat; yea, with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee.

And he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach, to turn away his fury, lest he should destroy them.

And he lifted up his hand to them, that he would make them fall in the wilderness;

And that he would make their seed fall among the nations, and disperse them through the countries.

If I would count them, they are more in number than the sand. When I awake, I am still with thee.
