Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers.

Make their ranking men like Oreb and Zeeb, yea, all their rulers like Zebah and Zalmunna,

O my God, make them like the whirling dust, as stubble before the wind,

There is none like thee among the gods, O LORD, nor like thy works.

cast off among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom thou remember no more, and they are cut off from thy hand.

They came round about me like water all the day long. They encompassed me around together.

For who in the clouds can be compared to LORD? Who among the sons of the mighty is like LORD,

O LORD God of hosts, who is a mighty one like thee, O LORD? And thy faithfulness is round about thee.

How long, O LORD? Will thou hide thyself forever? Shall thy wrath burn like fire?

Thou carry them away as with a flood. They are as a sleep. In the morning they are like grass which grows up.

But thou have exalted my horn like the wild ox's. I am anointed with fresh oil,

A righteous man shall flourish like the palm tree. He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

The mountains melted like wax at the presence of LORD, at the presence of LORD of the whole earth.

For my days consume away like smoke, and my bones are burned as a firebrand.

My heart is smitten like grass, and withered, for I forget to eat my bread.

I am like a pelican of the wilderness. I have become as an owl of the waste places.

I watch, and have become like a sparrow that is alone upon the house-top.

For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,

My days are like a shadow that declines, and I am withered like grass.

They shall perish, but thou shall endure. Yea, all of them shall grow old like a garment. As a vesture thou shall change them, and they shall be changed,

who satisfies thy desire with good things, [and] thy youth is renewed like the eagle.

Like as a father pities his sons, So LORD pities those who fear him.

who covers thyself with light as with a garment, who stretches out the heavens like a curtain,

He opened the rock, and waters gushed out. They ran in the dry places [like] a river.

They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits' end.

Yet he sets a needy man on high from affliction, and makes [him] families like a flock.

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

I am gone like the shadow when it declines. I am tossed up and down as the locust.

Who is like LORD our God who has his seat on high,

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

Ye mountains, that ye skip like rams, ye little hills, like lambs?

Those who make them shall be like them. Yea, everyone who trusts in them.

They encompassed me around like bees. They are quenched as the fire of thorns. In the name of LORD I will cut them off.

For I have become like a wine-skin in the smoke. Yet I do not forget thy statutes.

Thou put away all the wicked of the earth like dross. Therefore I love thy testimonies.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep. Seek thy servant, for I do not forget thy commandments.

When LORD brought back those who returned to Zion, we were like those who dream.

Thy wife shall be as a fruitful vine in the innermost parts of thy house, thy sons like olive plants round about thy table.

Surely I have stilled and quieted my soul like a weaned child with his mother. Like a weaned child is my soul within me.

It is like the precious oil upon the head, that ran down upon the beard, even Aaron's beard, that came down upon the skirt of his garments,

like the dew of Hermon, that comes down upon the mountains of Zion. For there LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

Those who make them shall be like them, yea, everyone who trusts in them.

They have sharpened their tongue like a serpent. Adders' poison is under their lips. Selah.

Like plowing and furrowing the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol.

Make haste to answer me, O LORD, my spirit fails. Hide not thy face from me, lest I become like those who go down into the pit.

Man is like vanity. His days are as a shadow that passes away.

He gives snow like wool. He scatters the hoar-frost like ashes.

He casts forth his ice like morsels. Who can stand before his cold?

And, behold, there met him a woman attired like a harlot, and wily of heart.

There is he who speaks rashly like the piercings of a sword, but the tongue of the wise is health.

A scoffer does not like to be reproved. He will not go to the wise.

The beginning of strife is [like] letting out water. Therefore leave off contention, before there is quarrelling.

A brother offended [is harder to be won] than a strong city, and [such] contentions are like the bars of a castle.

Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest thou also be like to him.

He who passes by, [and] meddles with strife not his, [is like] he who takes a dog by the ears.

She is like the merchant ships: she brings her bread from afar.

I have seen servants upon horses, and rulers walking like servants upon the earth.

My beloved is like a roe or a young hart. Behold, he stands behind our wall. He looks in at the windows. He glances through the lattice.

Until the day be cool, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.

Who is this who comes up from the wilderness like pillars of smoke, perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, with all powders of the merchant?

Thy teeth are like a flock of ewes, which have come up from the washing, of which every one has twins, and none is bereaved among them.

Thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind thy veil.

How beautiful are thy feet in sandals, O prince's daughter! Thy rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a skilful workman.

Thy two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a roe.

Thy neck is like the tower of ivory. Thine eyes, the pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim. Thy nose is like the tower of Lebanon which looks toward Damascus.

Thy head upon thee is like Carmel, and the hair of thy head like purple. The king is held captive in the tresses.

This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to its clusters.

I said, I will climb up into the palm tree. I will take hold of the branches of it. Let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy breath like apples,

and thy mouth like the best wine, that goes down smoothly for my beloved, gliding through the lips and teeth.

I am a wall, and my breasts like the towers. Then I was in his eyes as one who found peace.

Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.

Unless LORD of hosts had left to us a {seed (LXX/NT)}, we should have been as Sodom, we should have been like Gomorrah.

For thou have forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they are filled [with things] from the east, and [are] soothsayers like the Philistines. And they strike hands with the children of foreigners.

Their roaring shall be like a lioness. They shall roar like young lions. Yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and carry it away safe, and there shall be none to deliver.

And they shall roar against them in that day like the roaring of the sea. And if [a man] looks to the land, behold, darkness [and] distress, and the light is darkened in the clouds of it.

I will send him against a profane nation, and against the people of my wrath. I will give him a charge, to take the spoil, and to take the prey, and to tread them down like the mire of the streets.

For he has said, By the strength of my hand I have done it, and by my wisdom, for I have understanding. And I have removed the bounds of the peoples, and have robbed their treasures. And like a valiant man I have brought down those

Therefore will the Lord, LORD of hosts, send among his fat ones, leanness, and under his glory there shall be kindled a burning like the burning of fire.

And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together. And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.

And there shall be a highway for the remnant of his people, who shall remain, from Assyria, like as there was for Israel in the day that he came up out of the land of Egypt.

Ah, the uproar of many peoples, who roar like the roaring of the seas, and the rushing of nations, that rush like the rushing of mighty waters!

The nations shall rush like the rushing of many waters, but he shall rebuke them. And they shall flee far off, and shall be chased as the chaff of the mountains before the wind, and like the whirling dust before the storm.

For thus LORD has said to me, I will be still, and I will behold in my dwelling-place, like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.

In that day the Egyptians shall be like women, and they shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of LORD of hosts, which he shakes over them.

Behold, LORD, like a [strong] man, will hurl thee away violently. Yea, he will wrap thee up closely.

He will surely wind thee round and round, [tossing] like a ball into a large country. There thou shall die, and there the chariots of thy glory shall be, thou shame of thy lord's house.

The earth shall stagger like a drunken man, and shall sway to and fro like a hammock. And the transgression of it shall be heavy upon it, and it shall fall, and not rise again.

But the multitude of thy foes shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones as chaff that passes away. Yea, it shall be in an instant suddenly.

For a Topheth is prepared of old, yea, it is made ready for the king. He has made it deep and large. The pile of it is fire and much wood. The breath of LORD kindles it, like a stream of brimstone.

The land mourns and languishes. Lebanon is confounded and withers away. Sharon is like a desert, and Bashan and Carmel shake off [their leaves].

until I come and take you away to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards.

My dwelling is removed, and is carried away from me as a shepherd's tent. I have rolled up, like a weaver, my life. He will cut me off from the loom. From day even to night thou will make an end of me.
