Nobody is to enter the LORD's Temple except for the priests and descendants of Levi who are on duty. They may enter because they are ceremonially holy, but all the rest of the people must observe the LORD's instructions.

Jehoiada also placed the offices of the LORD's Temple under the authority of the Levitical priests whom David had assigned over the LORD's Temple, just as is required by the Law of Moses, to offer the LORD's burnt offerings with joy and singing, just as David had ordered.

Jehoiada also stationed inspectors at the LORD's Temple so that no one would enter who was ritually unclean in any manner.

But after he had become strong, in his arrogance he acted corruptly and became unfaithful to the LORD his God, and he dared to enter the LORD's Temple to burn incense on the incense altar.

King Uzziah remained a leper until the day he died. Because he was a leper, he lived in a separate residence and remained disqualified to enter the LORD's Temple. His son Jotham served in the royal palace, judging the people of the land.

He practiced what the LORD considered to be right, just as his father Uzziah had done, even though he did not enter the Temple. Nevertheless, the people continued acting corruptly.

He sacrificed and burned incense on high places, on the top of hills, and under every green tree.

So don't be stiff-necked like your ancestors were. Instead, submit to the LORD, enter his sanctuary that he has sanctified forever, and serve the LORD your God so that he'll stop being angry with you.

"The land you are entering to possess is a morally unclean land due to the moral uncleanness of the nations of the lands along with their abominations that has filled it from one end to the other with their impurities.

A week later, when the king was under the influence of all that wine, he ordered Mehuman, Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, Abagtha, Zethar, and Carcas, the seven eunuchs who served King Ahasuerus,

If it seems good to the king, let a royal decree go out from him and let it be written in the laws of Persia and Media, which cannot be repealed, that Vashti is never again to enter the presence of King Ahasuerus. Let the king give her royal position to another woman who is better than she.

Let the king appoint officials in all the provinces of his kingdom to bring all the beautiful young virgins into the harem in Susa the capital. Let them be placed under the care of Hegai, the king's eunuch, who is in charge of the women to give them their beauty treatments.

The king's order and edict was proclaimed, and many young women were brought to Susa the capital under the care of Hegai. Esther was taken to the palace into the care of Hegai, who was in charge of the women.

Will things go well for you under his cross-examination? Can you lie to him, as you would to a human being?

They bray like donkeys among the bushes and huddle together under the desert weeds.

Who prepares food for the raven, when its offspring cry out to God as they wander for lack of food?"

He lies under the lotus trees, hiding under reeds and marshes.

You gave him dominion over the work of your hands, you put all things under his feet:

Protect me as the most precious part of the eye; hide me under the shadow of your wings

He bent the sky and descended, and darkness was under his feet.

I struck them down, so they are not able to rise up; they fell under my feet.

You clothed me with strength for war; you will subdue under me those who rise up against me.

Blessed be the LORD! In a marvelous way he demonstrated his gracious love to me, when I was in a city under siege.

Your arrows are sharpened to penetrate the hearts of the king's enemies. People will fall under you.

You set all the boundaries of the earth; you made summer and winter.

With his feathers he will cover you, under his wings you will find safety. His truth is your shield and armor.

Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his name, bring an offering and enter his courts!

Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise. Thank him and bless his name,

He wore curses like a garment may they enter his inner being like water and his bones like oil.

Open for me the righteous gates so I may enter through them to give thanks to the LORD.

Under a slave when he becomes a king, a fool when he is overfed,

She is unafraid of winter's effect on her household, because all of them are warmly clothed.

I dedicated myself to using wisdom for study and discovery of everything that is done under heaven. God uses terrible things so human beings will struggle with life.

I decided to indulge in wine, while still remaining committed to wisdom. I also tried to indulge in foolishness, just enough to determine whether it was good for human beings under heaven given the short time of their lives.

There is a season for everything, and a time for every event under heaven:

I wish that his left hand were under my head, and that his right hand were embracing me!
