I also discovered that the portions of the Levites had not been given them, so that the Levites and the singers who performed the service had gone away, each to his own field.

Also men of Tyre were living there who imported fish and all kinds of merchandise, and sold them to the sons of Judah on the sabbath, even in Jerusalem.

And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves and come as gatekeepers to sanctify the sabbath day. For this also remember me, O my God, and have compassion on me according to the greatness of Your lovingkindness.

In those days I also saw that the Jews had married women from Ashdod, Ammon and Moab.

Queen Vashti also gave a banquet for the women in the palace which belonged to King Ahasuerus.

In the presence of the king and the princes, Memucan said, “Queen Vashti has wronged not only the king but also all the princes and all the peoples who are in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus.

Then the king gave a great banquet, Esther’s banquet, for all his princes and his servants; he also made a holiday for the provinces and gave gifts according to the king’s bounty.

The king said to Haman, “The silver is yours, and the people also, to do with them as you please.”

He also gave him a copy of the text of the edict which had been issued in Susa for their destruction, that he might show Esther and inform her, and to order her to go in to the king to implore his favor and to plead with him for her people.

“Go, assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa, and fast for me; do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maidens also will fast in the same way. And thus I will go in to the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish.”

Haman also said, “Even Esther the queen let no one but me come with the king to the banquet which she had prepared; and tomorrow also I am invited by her with the king.

And the king said to Esther on the second day also as they drank their wine at the banquet, “What is your petition, Queen Esther? It shall be granted you. And what is your request? Even to half of the kingdom it shall be done.”

The king said to Queen Esther, “The Jews have killed and destroyed five hundred men and the ten sons of Haman at the citadel in Susa. What then have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces! Now what is your petition? It shall even be granted you. And what is your further request? It shall also be done.”

Then said Esther, “If it pleases the king, let tomorrow also be granted to the Jews who are in Susa to do according to the edict of today; and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.”

The Jews who were in Susa assembled also on the fourteenth day of the month Adar and killed three hundred men in Susa, but they did not lay their hands on the plunder.

His possessions also were 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, 500 female donkeys, and very many servants; and that man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them.

and the Sabeans attacked and took them. They also slew the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three bands and made a raid on the camels and took them and slew the servants with the edge of the sword, and I alone have escaped to tell you.”

While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the Lord.

“For He inflicts pain, and gives relief;
He wounds, and His hands also heal.

“You will know also that your descendants will be many,
And your offspring as the grass of the earth.

“What you know I also know;
I am not inferior to you.

“This also will be my salvation,
For a godless man may not come before His presence.

“Like a flower he comes forth and withers.
He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.

“You also open Your eyes on him
And bring him into judgment with Yourself.

“I will tell you, listen to me;
And what I have seen I will also declare;

“I was at ease, but He shattered me,
And He has grasped me by the neck and shaken me to pieces;
He has also set me up as His target.

“He who informs against friends for a share of the spoil,
The eyes of his children also will languish.

“My eye has also grown dim because of grief,
And all my members are as a shadow.

“He has also kindled His anger against me
And considered me as His enemy.

“Why do the wicked still live,
Continue on, also become very powerful?

“Is not God in the height of heaven?
Look also at the distant stars, how high they are!

“You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you;
And light will shine on your ways.

Then He saw it and declared it;
He established it and also searched it out.

“I too will answer my share,
I also will tell my opinion.

“Man is also chastened with pain on his bed,
And with unceasing complaint in his bones;

“Its noise declares His presence;
The cattle also, concerning what is coming up.

“At this also my heart trembles,
And leaps from its place.

“Also with moisture He loads the thick cloud;
He disperses the cloud of His lightning.

“His young ones also suck up blood;
And where the slain are, there is he.”

“Then I will also confess to you,
That your own right hand can save you.

He has also prepared for Himself deadly weapons;
He makes His arrows fiery shafts.

All sheep and oxen,
And also the beasts of the field,

The Lord also will be a stronghold for the oppressed,
A stronghold in times of trouble;

Therefore my heart is glad and my glory rejoices;
My flesh also will dwell securely.

He bowed the heavens also, and came down
With thick darkness under His feet.

The Lord also thundered in the heavens,
And the Most High uttered His voice,
Hailstones and coals of fire.

He brought me forth also into a broad place;
He rescued me, because He delighted in me.

I was also blameless with Him,
And I kept myself from my iniquity.

You have also given me the shield of Your salvation,
And Your right hand upholds me;
And Your gentleness makes me great.

You have also made my enemies turn their backs to me,
And I destroyed those who hated me.

They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold;
Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb.

Also keep back Your servant from presumptuous sins;
Let them not rule over me;
Then I will be blameless,
And I shall be acquitted of great transgression.

Save Your people and bless Your inheritance;
Be their shepherd also, and carry them forever.

Be gracious to me, O Lord, for I am in distress;
My eye is wasted away from grief, my soul and my body also.

Draw also the spear and the battle-axe to meet those who pursue me;
Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”

Commit your way to the Lord,
Trust also in Him, and He will do it.

“Gilead is Mine, and Manasseh is Mine;
Ephraim also is the helmet of My head;
Judah is My scepter.

The earth quaked;
The heavens also dropped rain at the presence of God;
Sinai itself quaked at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

You have ascended on high, You have led captive Your captives;
You have received gifts among men,
Even among the rebellious also, that the Lord God may dwell there.

They also gave me gall for my food
And for my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.

I will also praise You with a harp,
Even Your truth, O my God;
To You I will sing praises with the lyre,
O Holy One of Israel.

My tongue also will utter Your righteousness all day long;
For they are ashamed, for they are humiliated who seek my hurt.

May he also rule from sea to sea
And from the River to the ends of the earth.

For he will deliver the needy when he cries for help,
The afflicted also, and him who has no helper.

Yours is the day, Yours also is the night;
You have prepared the light and the sun.

His tabernacle is in Salem;
His dwelling place also is in Zion.

The waters saw You, O God;
The waters saw You, they were in anguish;
The deeps also trembled.

He brought forth streams also from the rock
And caused waters to run down like rivers.

“Behold, He struck the rock so that waters gushed out,
And streams were overflowing;
Can He give bread also?
Will He provide meat for His people?”

Therefore the Lord heard and was full of wrath;
And a fire was kindled against Jacob
And anger also mounted against Israel,

He gave also their crops to the grasshopper
And the product of their labor to the locust.

He gave over their cattle also to the hailstones
And their herds to bolts of lightning.

He also drove out the nations before them
And apportioned them for an inheritance by measurement,
And made the tribes of Israel dwell in their tents.

He also delivered His people to the sword,
And was filled with wrath at His inheritance.

He also rejected the tent of Joseph,
And did not choose the tribe of Ephraim,

He also chose David His servant
And took him from the sheepfolds;

Assyria also has joined with them;
They have become a help to the children of Lot. Selah.

The bird also has found a house,
And the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young,
Even Your altars, O Lord of hosts,
My King and my God.

Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring;
The early rain also covers it with blessings.

The heavens will praise Your wonders, O Lord;
Your faithfulness also in the assembly of the holy ones.

O Lord God of hosts, who is like You, O mighty Lord?
Your faithfulness also surrounds You.

The heavens are Yours, the earth also is Yours;
The world and all it contains, You have founded them.

With whom My hand will be established;
My arm also will strengthen him.

“I shall also set his hand on the sea
And his right hand on the rivers.

“I also shall make him My firstborn,
The highest of the kings of the earth.

You also turn back the edge of his sword
And have not made him stand in battle.

In whose hand are the depths of the earth,
The peaks of the mountains are His also.

Israel also came into Egypt;
Thus Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

He struck down their vines also and their fig trees,
And shattered the trees of their territory.

He also struck down all the firstborn in their land,
The first fruits of all their vigor.

He gave them also the lands of the nations,
That they might take possession of the fruit of the peoples’ labor,

They joined themselves also to Baal-peor,
And ate sacrifices offered to the dead.

They also provoked Him to wrath at the waters of Meribah,
So that it went hard with Moses on their account;

Their enemies also oppressed them,
And they were subdued under their power.

He also made them objects of compassion
In the presence of all their captors.

He led them also by a straight way,
To go to an inhabited city.
