Moreover, the word of the Lord through the prophet Jehu the son of Hanani also came against Baasha and his household, both because of all the evil which he did in the sight of the Lord, provoking Him to anger with the work of his hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam, and because he struck it.

And Hezekiah appointed the divisions of the priests and the Levites by their divisions, each according to his service, both the priests and the Levites, for burnt offerings and for peace offerings, to minister and to give thanks and to praise in the gates of the camp of the Lord.

In peace I will both lie down and sleep,
For You alone, O Lord, make me to dwell in safety.

Both low and high,
Rich and poor together.

At Your rebuke, O God of Jacob,
Both rider and horse were cast into a dead sleep.

There is the sea, great and broad,
In which are swarms without number,
Animals both small and great.

He smote the firstborn of Egypt,
Both of man and beast.

Both young men and virgins;
Old men and children.

He who justifies the wicked and he who condemns the righteous,
Both of them alike are an abomination to the Lord.

Differing weights and differing measures,
Both of them are abominable to the Lord.

The hearing ear and the seeing eye,
The Lord has made both of them.

For their calamity will rise suddenly,
And who knows the ruin that comes from both of them?

A stone is heavy and the sand weighty,
But the provocation of a fool is heavier than both of them.

The poor man and the oppressor have this in common:
The Lord gives light to the eyes of both.

The wise man’s eyes are in his head, but the fool walks in darkness. And yet I know that one fate befalls them both.

I said to myself, “God will judge both the righteous man and the wicked man,” for a time for every matter and for every deed is there.

And over our doors are all choice fruits,
Both new and old,
Which I have saved up for you, my beloved.

His work also a spark.

And there will be none to quench them.

For behold, the Lord God of hosts is going to remove from Jerusalem and Judah
Both supply and support, the whole supply of bread
And the whole supply of water;

“Then He shall become a sanctuary;
But to both the houses of Israel, a stone to strike and a rock to stumble over,
And a snare and a trap for the inhabitants of Jerusalem.

So the Lord cuts off head and tail from Israel,
Both palm branch and bulrush in a single day.

And He will destroy the glory of his forest and of his fruitful garden, both soul and body,
And it will be as when a sick man wastes away.

“I have kept silent for a long time,
I have kept still and restrained Myself.
Now like a woman in labor I will groan,
I will both gasp and pant.

Both their own iniquities and the iniquities of their fathers together,” says the Lord.

And scorned Me on the hills,
Therefore I will measure their former work into their bosom.”

“Let us now fear the Lord our God,
Who gives rain in its season,
Both the autumn rain and the spring rain,
Who keeps for us
The appointed weeks of the harvest.”

But I am full of the wrath of the Lord;
I am weary with holding it in.

And on the gathering of young men together;
For both husband and wife shall be taken,
The aged and the very old.

“For the mountains I will take up a weeping and wailing,
And for the pastures of the wilderness a dirge,
Because they are laid waste so that no one passes through,
And the lowing of the cattle is not heard;
Both the birds of the sky and the beasts have fled; they are gone.

I will dash them against each other, both the fathers and the sons together,” declares the Lord. “I will not show pity nor be sorry nor have compassion so as not to destroy them.”’”

Behold, those slain with the sword!
Or if I enter the city,
Behold, diseases of famine!
For both prophet and priest
Have gone roving about in the land that they do not know.’”

Both great men and small will die in this land; they will not be buried, they will not be lamented, nor will anyone gash himself or shave his head for them.

I will also strike down the inhabitants of this city, both man and beast; they will die of a great pestilence.

“For both prophet and priest are polluted;
Even in My house I have found their wickedness,” declares the Lord.

Then I took the deeds of purchase, both the sealed copy containing the terms and conditions and the open copy;

So they came to Gedaliah at Mizpah, along with Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jonathan the sons of Kareah, and Seraiah the son of Tanhumeth, and the sons of Ephai the Netophathite, and Jezaniah the son of the Maacathite, both they and their men.

Then all the commanders of the forces, Johanan the son of Kareah, Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people both small and great approached

And I will take away the remnant of Judah who have set their mind on entering the land of Egypt to reside there, and they will all meet their end in the land of Egypt; they will fall by the sword and meet their end by famine. Both small and great will die by the sword and famine; and they will become a curse, an object of horror, an imprecation and a reproach.

The nations have heard of your shame,
And the earth is full of your cry of distress;
For one warrior has stumbled over another,
And both of them have fallen down together.
