Again it happened on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, that Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

He took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with, and he sat among the ashes.

"If someone ventures to talk with you, will you be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?

God who is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who has hardened himself against him, and prospered?

"Should a wise man answer with vain knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?

Because he has stretched out his hand against God, and behaves himself proudly against Shaddai;

Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; for emptiness shall be his reward.

Upright men shall be astonished at this. The innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.

You say, 'God lays up his iniquity for his children.' Let him recompense it to himself, that he may know it.

"Can a man be profitable to God? Surely he who is wise is profitable to himself.

Will he delight himself in Shaddai, and call on God at all times?

Then the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was kindled against Job. His wrath was kindled because he justified himself rather than God.

For he has said, 'It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.'

If he set his heart on himself, If he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath,

When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid. They retreat before his thrashing.

But know that the LORD has set apart for himself him who is godly: The LORD will hear when I call to him.

He has also prepared for himself the instruments of death. He makes ready his flaming arrows.

The LORD has made himself known. He has executed judgment. The wicked is snared by the work of his own hands. Meditation. Selah.

Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.

For he flatters himself in his own eyes, too much to detect and hate his sin.

He plots iniquity on his bed. He sets himself in a way that is not good. He doesn't abhor evil.

I have seen the wicked in great power, spreading himself like a green tree in its native soil.

God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.

The heavens shall declare his righteousness, for God himself is judge. Selah.

"Behold, this is the man who did not make God his strength, but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness."

Yes, of Zion it will be said, "This one and that one was born in her;" the Most High himself will establish her.

He covers himself with light as with a garment. He stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

He clothed himself also with cursing as with his garment. It came into his inward parts like water, like oil into his bones.

Let it be to him as the clothing with which he covers himself, for the belt that is always around him.

I will clothe his enemies with shame, but on himself, his crown will be resplendent."

For the LORD has chosen Jacob for himself; Israel for his own possession.

Men do not despise a thief, if he steals to satisfy himself when he is hungry:

The liberal soul shall be made fat. He who waters shall be watered also himself.

Better is he who is lightly esteemed, and has a servant, than he who honors himself, and lacks bread.

Even a child makes himself known by his doings, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.

A prudent man sees danger, and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it.

A malicious man disguises himself with his lips, but he harbors evil in his heart.

One who trusts in himself is a fool; but one who walks in wisdom is kept safe.

A fool vents all of his anger, but a wise man brings himself under control.

The rod of correction gives wisdom, but a child left to himself causes shame to his mother.

The fool folds his hands together and ruins himself.

King Solomon made himself a carriage of the wood of Lebanon.

The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable.

Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land. The foreigner will join himself with them, and they will unite with the house of Jacob.

For thus says the LORD to me, "As the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, if a multitude of shepherds is called together against him, will not be dismayed at their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them, so the LORD of hosts will come down to fight on Mount Zion and on its heights.

It happened, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he tore his clothes, covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the LORD's house.

What will I say? He has both spoken to me, and himself has done it. I will walk carefully all my years because of the anguish of my soul.

He cuts down cedars for himself, and takes the cypress and the oak, and strengthens for himself one among the trees of the forest. He plants a fir tree, and the rain nourishes it.

Then it will be for a man to burn; and he takes some of it, and warms himself. Yes, he burns it, and bakes bread. Yes, he makes a god, and worships it; he makes it an engraved image, and falls down to it.

He burns part of it in the fire. With part of it, he eats meat. He roasts a roast, and is satisfied. Yes, he warms himself, and says, "Aha. I am warm. I have seen the fire."

Sing, you heavens, for the LORD has done it. Shout, you lower parts of the earth. Break out into singing, you mountains, O forest, all of your trees, for the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and will glorify himself in Israel.

Neither let the foreigner, who has joined himself to the LORD, speak, saying, "The LORD will surely separate me from his people"; neither let the eunuch say, "Behold, I am a dry tree."

Yes, truth is lacking; and he who departs from evil makes himself a prey. The LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no justice.

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.

But they rebelled, and grieved his holy Spirit: therefore he was turned to be their enemy, and he himself fought against them.

who caused his glorious arm to go at the right hand of Moses? who divided the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name?

There is none who calls on your name, who stirs up himself to take hold of you; for you have hidden your face from us, and have consumed us by means of our iniquities.

so that he who blesses himself in the earth shall bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from my eyes.

LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

Shall a man make to himself gods, which yet are no gods?'"

Can any hide himself in secret places so that I shall not see him?' says the LORD. 'Do I not fill heaven and earth?' says the LORD.

'The LORD has made you priest in the place of Jehoiada the priest, that there may be officers in the house of the LORD, for every man who is mad, and makes himself a prophet, that you should put him in the stocks and in shackles.

Now therefore, why have you not rebuked Jeremiah of Anathoth, who makes himself a prophet to you,

Her filthiness was in her skirts; she did not remember her latter end; therefore her fall was astonishing; she has no comforter. "Look, LORD, on my affliction, for the enemy has magnified himself."

The LORD himself has scattered them; he will no more regard them. They did not respect the priests, they did not favor the elders.

For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they be yet alive: for the vision is touching the whole multitude of it, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life.

For everyone of the house of Israel, or of the strangers who live in Israel, who separates himself from me, and takes his idols into his heart, and puts the stumbling block of his iniquity before his face, and comes to the prophet to inquire for himself of me; I the LORD will answer him by myself:

On that day shall the prince prepare for himself and for all the people of the land a bull for a sin offering.

But Daniel determined in his heart that he would not defile himself with the king's royal food, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.

And the king shall do as he pleases. And he shall exalt and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak outrageous things against the God of gods. And he shall prosper until the indignation is accomplished; for that which is decreed shall be done.

Neither shall he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the one desired by women, nor show regard to any other god, because he shall magnify himself above all.

They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they won't find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.

Ephraim, he mixes himself among the nations. Ephraim is a pancake not turned over.

For they have gone up to Assyria, like a wild donkey wandering alone. Ephraim has hired lovers for himself.

When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, but when he became guilty in Baal, he died.

Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won't strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;

neither shall he stand who handles the bow; and he who is swift of foot won't escape; neither shall he who rides the horse deliver himself;

The news reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

Then Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made himself a booth, and sat under it in the shade, until he might see what would become of the city.

It happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah's head, so that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is better for me to die than to live."

Yes, moreover, wine is treacherous. A haughty man who doesn't stay at home, who enlarges his desire as Sheol, and he is like death, and can't be satisfied, but gathers to himself all nations, and heaps to himself all peoples.

Won't all these take up a parable against him, and a taunting proverb against him, and say, 'Woe to him who increases that which is not his, and who enriches himself by extortion. How long?'

Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy habitation."
