Don’t add to His words,
or He will rebuke you, and you will be proved a liar.

Two things I ask of You;
don’t deny them to me before I die:

Don’t slander a servant to his master
or he will curse you, and you will become guilty.

Don’t spend your energy on women
or your efforts on those who destroy kings.

God hath not discarded his people whom he formerly approv'd. don't you know what the scripture says of Elias? how he complain'd to God against Israel,

don't triumph over the branches: or if you do, remember the root is not dependent upon you, but you upon the root.

nay, even the Jews, if they don't continue still incredulous, shall be grafted in: since divine power can graft them in again.

When you make a vow to God, don’t delay fulfilling it, because He does not delight in fools. Fulfill what you vow.

If you see oppression of the poor and perversion of justice and righteousness in the province, don’t be astonished at the situation, because one official protects another official, and higher officials protect them.

Don’t let your spirit rush to be angry,
for anger abides in the heart of fools.

Don’t say, “Why were the former days better than these?”
since it is not wise of you to ask this.

Don’t pay attention to everything people say, or you may hear your servant cursing you,

Don't let our religion then be expos'd to reproach.

Indeed, I took all this to heart and explained it all: the righteous, the wise, and their works are in God’s hands.People don’t know whether to expect love or hate. Everything lies ahead of them.

For the living know that they will die, but the dead don’t know anything. There is no longer a reward for them because the memory of them is forgotten.

If the ruler’s anger rises against you, don’t leave your place,
for calmness puts great offenses to rest.

The struggles of fools weary them,
for they don’t know how to go to the city.

Give a portion to seven or even to eight,
for you don’t know what disaster may happen on earth.

Don’t be like your fathers and your brothers who were unfaithful to Yahweh, the God of their ancestors so that He made them an object of horror as you yourselves see.

Don’t become obstinate now like your fathers did. Give your allegiance to Yahweh, and come to His sanctuary that He has consecrated forever. Serve the Lord your God so that He may turn His burning anger away from you,

“‘Don’t you know what I and my fathers have done to all the peoples of the lands? Have any of the national gods of the lands been able to deliver their land from my power?

Forgive, Yahweh, your people Israel, whom you have redeemed, and don't allow innocent blood [to remain] in the midst of your people Israel." The blood shall be forgiven them.

his body shall not remain all night on the tree, but you shall surely bury him the same day; for he who is hanged is accursed of God; that you don't defile your land which Yahweh your God gives you for an inheritance.

If your brother isn't near to you, or if you don't know him, then you shall bring it home to your house, and it shall be with you until your brother seek after it, and you shall restore it to him.

When you build a new house, then you shall make a battlement for your roof, that you don't bring blood on your house, if any man fall from there.

But Neco sent messengers to him, saying, “What is the issue between you and me, king of Judah? I have not come against you today but I am fighting another dynasty. God told me to hurry. Stop opposing God who is with me; don’t make Him destroy you!”

I'll lay your cities to waste and destroy your sanctuaries so I don't have to smell the scent of your soothing odors.

I would like to be with you right now and change my tone of voice, because I don’t know what to do about you.

Tell me, those of you who want to be under the law, don’t you hear the law?

Christ has liberated us to be free. Stand firm then and don’t submit again to a yoke of slavery.

For you were called to be free, brothers; only don’t use this freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but serve one another through love.

For the flesh desires what is against the Spirit, and the Spirit desires what is against the flesh; these are opposed to each other, so that you don’t do what you want.

Don’t be deceived: God is not mocked. For whatever a man sows he will also reap,

So we must not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.

For even the circumcised don’t keep the law themselves; however, they want you to be circumcised in order to boast about your flesh.

For we don’t want you to be unaware, brothers, of our affliction that took place in Asia: we were completely overwhelmed—beyond our strength—so that we even despaired of life.

Then Moses became angry and said to the Lord, “Don’t respect their offering. I have not taken one donkey from them or mistreated a single one of them.”

He warned the community, “Get away now from the tents of these wicked men. Don’t touch anything that belongs to them, or you will be swept away because of all their sins.”

Working together with Him, we also appeal to you, “Don’t receive God’s grace in vain.”

I don’t say this to condemn you, for I have already said that you are in our hearts, to live together and to die together.

I don’t want to seem as though I am trying to terrify you with my letters.

For we don’t dare classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves. But in measuring themselves by themselves and comparing themselves to themselves, they lack understanding.

Why? Because I don’t love you? God knows I do!

What I say in this matter of boasting, I don’t speak as the Lord would, but foolishly.

we are fatigu'd by our manual toil: when reviled, we pray: when persecuted, we don't repine:

This I don't write to give you any confusion, but by way of remonstrance, to you who are my dear children.

"Yahweh God, don't turn away the face of your anointed: remember [your] loving kindnesses to David your servant."

don't you know that these are to judge the world? if the world is to be judg'd by you, are not you qualify'd to decide your petty causes?

don't you know that we shall be judges of angels? much more then of the affairs of life?

beside, you are absolutely in the wrong in going to law with one another at all: why don't you rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer loss?

Don't you know, that your bodies are parts of Christ's mystical body? now, how can that which is Christ's, be made the property of a very creature?

it cannot be. why, don't you perceive, that where there is such an attachment, they are but as one person? for the scripture says, "they two shall be as one."

don't desert one another, unless you mutually consent to retire for a time, to the solemnity of prayer; and then come together again, lest satan make an attempt upon your continency.

were you called being a slave? be not perplex'd about it; but if you can obtain your freedom, don't refuse it.

have you been redeemed from slavery? then, don't turn slaves.

don't you know, that they who prepare the sacrifices, do eat of the sacrifice in the temple? and they who wait at the altar, have their portion from the altar?

but if any man say to you, this is offered in sacrifice to an idol, don't eat, for his sake that mentioned it, and for conscience sake.

when I say conscience, I don't mean your own, but that of the other: for why should I expose my liberty to the censure of another man's conscience?

Asa cried to Yahweh his God, and said, "Yahweh, there is none besides you to help, between the mighty and him who has no strength. Help us, Yahweh our God; for we rely on you, and in your name are we come against this multitude. Yahweh, you are our God. Don't let man prevail against you."

The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, "There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Yahweh; but I hate him, for he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil. He is Micaiah the son of Imla." Jehoshaphat said, "Don't let the king say so."

therefore if I don't know the meaning of the language, with respect to him that speaks, I shall be a barbarian; and he that speaks shall be a barbarian to me.

wherefore, brethren, zealously exercise the gift of prophecy, and don't prohibit those that speak in an unknown language.

and said to the judges, "Consider what you do: for you don't judge for man, but for Yahweh; and [he is] with you in the judgment.

besides, my engaging with those monsters, as I may say, at Ephesus, what advantage was it to me? if the dead don't rise, "let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die."

and whatever you sow, you don't sow that body which shall afterwards appear, but only the bare grain of wheat, for instance, or of some other grain.

Don’t rejoice, all of you in Philistia,
because the rod of the one who struck you is broken.
For a viper will come from the root of a snake,
and from its egg comes a flying serpent.

Then the elders of his city shall call him, and speak to him: and if he stand, and say, "I don't want to take her;"

The fruit of your ground, and all your labors, shall a nation which you don't know eat up; and you shall be only oppressed and crushed always;

But if you don’t drive out the inhabitants of the land before you, those you allow to remain will become thorns in your eyes and in your sides; they will harass you in the land where you will live.

Don’t worry about anything, but in everything, through prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.

But when you blow the trumpet to assemble the whole congregation, don't use the same sound as you do for sounding an alarm.

I don’t say this out of need, for I have learned to be content in whatever circumstances I am.

Therefore, don’t let anyone judge you in regard to food and drink or in the matter of a festival or a new moon or a Sabbath day.

Your little children, whom you said would be plunder, your sons who don’t know good from evil, will enter there. I will give them the land, and they will take possession of it.

Husbands, love your wives and don’t be bitter toward them.

Slaves, obey your human masters in everything. Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but work wholeheartedly, fearing the Lord.

For the Lord’s message rang out from you, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place that your faith in God has gone out. Therefore, we don’t need to say anything,

Don’t be afraid of them, for the Lord your God fights for you.

But Moses asked them, "Why do you continue to sin against what the LORD said? Don't you know that you can never succeed?

not with lustful desires, like the Gentiles who don’t know God.

and don’t give the Devil an opportunity.

And don’t grieve God’s Holy Spirit. You were sealed by Him for the day of redemption.

Don’t participate in the fruitless works of darkness, but instead expose them.

So don’t be foolish, but understand what the Lord’s will is.

And don’t get drunk with wine, which leads to reckless actions, but be filled by the Spirit:

Fathers, don’t stir up anger in your children, but bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

But if you don’t do this, you will certainly sin against the Lord; be sure your sin will catch up with you.

Don’t work only while being watched, in order to please men, but as slaves of Christ, do God’s will from your heart.

But if they don’t go across with you in battle formation, they must accept land in Canaan with you.”

Now if I live on in the flesh, this means fruitful work for me; and I don’t know which one I should choose.

A man of God came to him, saying, "O king, don't let the army of Israel go with you; for Yahweh is not with Israel, with all the children of Ephraim.

I don't mean to prescribe to you, but that the zeal of others may show you are as sincerely well-affected.

for tho' I am involv'd with the world, I don't sustain the war with their poor arts:

I don't assume to myself the credit of other men's labours in another province, but hope, that when your faith is increased, the bounds now prescribed will be enlarged by you yet farther;

but tho' I don't know whether it was in the body, or out of the body, which God only knows,

Then Eliakim, Shebna, and Joah said to the Rabshakeh, “Please speak to your servants in Aramaic, since we understand it. Don’t speak to us in Hebrew within earshot of the people who are on the wall.”

This is what the king says: “Don’t let Hezekiah deceive you, for he cannot deliver you.

Don’t let Hezekiah persuade you to trust in the Lord, saying, ‘The Lord will certainly deliver us! This city will not be handed over to the king of Assyria.’”

Don’t listen to Hezekiah, for this is what the king of Assyria says: “Make peace with me and surrender to me. Then every one of you may eat from his own vine and his own fig tree and drink water from his own cistern

But they kept silent; they didn’t say anything, for the king’s command was, “Don’t answer him.”
