"Whoever sheds human blood, by other humans must his blood be shed; for in God's image God has made humankind."

So the men inside reached out and pulled Lot back into the house as they shut the door.

Reuben continued, "Don't shed blood! Throw him into this cistern that is here in the wilderness, but don't lay a hand on him." (Reuben said this so he could rescue Joseph from them and take him back to his father.)

The archers will attack him, they will shoot at him and oppose him.

No hand will touch him -- but he will surely be stoned or shot through, whether a beast or a human being; he must not live.' When the ram's horn sounds a long blast they may go up on the mountain."

Moses said, "It is not the sound of those who shout for victory, nor is it the sound of those who cry because they are overcome, but the sound of singing I hear."

but has not brought it to the entrance of the Meeting Tent to present it as an offering to the Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord. He has shed blood, so that man will be cut off from the midst of his people.

If, however, the people of the land shut their eyes to that man when he gives some of his children to Molech so that they do not put him to death,

The Lord said to Moses, "If her father had only spit in her face, would she not have been disgraced for seven days? Shut her out from the camp seven days, and afterward she can be brought back in again."

So Miriam was shut outside of the camp for seven days, and the people did not journey on until Miriam was brought back in.

"You must not pollute the land where you live, for blood defiles the land, and the land cannot be cleansed of the blood that is shed there, except by the blood of the person who shed it.

You must not shed innocent blood in your land that the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, for that would make you guilty.

When it was time to shut the city gate for the night, the men left. I don't know where they were heading. Chase after them quickly, for you have time to catch them!"

Meanwhile the king's men tried to find them on the road to the Jordan River near the fords. The city gate was shut as soon as they set out in pursuit of them.

Now Jericho was shut tightly because of the Israelites. No one was allowed to leave or enter.

When the three hundred men blew their trumpets, the Lord caused the Midianites to attack one another with their swords throughout the camp. The army fled to Beth Shittah on the way to Zererah. They went to the border of Abel Meholah near Tabbath.

They said to him, "Shut up! Put your hand over your mouth and come with us! You can be our adviser and priest. Wouldn't it be better to be a priest for a whole Israelite tribe than for just one man's family?"

When the Philistines heard the sound of the shout, they said, "What is this loud shout in the camp of the Hebrews?" Then they realized that the ark of the Lord had arrived at the camp.

I will shoot three arrows near it, as though I were shooting at a target.

He said to his servant, "Run, find the arrows that I am about to shoot." As the servant ran, Jonathan shot the arrow beyond him.

When the servant came to the place where Jonathan had shot the arrow, Jonathan called out to the servant, "Isn't the arrow further beyond you?"

When Abner returned to Hebron, Joab took him aside at the gate as if to speak privately with him. Joab then stabbed him in the abdomen and killed him, avenging the shed blood of his brother Asahel.

When David later heard about this, he said, "I and my kingdom are forever innocent before the Lord of the shed blood of Abner son of Ner!

if the king becomes angry and asks you, 'Why did you go so close to the city to fight? Didn't you realize they would shoot from the wall?

Then the archers shot at your servants from the wall and some of the king's soldiers died. Your servant Uriah the Hittite is also dead."

He shot arrows and scattered them, lightning and routed them.

"You know what Joab son of Zeruiah did to me -- how he murdered two commanders of the Israelite armies, Abner son of Ner and Amasa son of Jether. During peacetime he struck them down like he would in battle; when he shed their blood as if in battle, he stained his own belt and the sandals on his feet.

May the Lord punish him for the blood he shed; behind my father David's back he struck down and murdered with the sword two men who were more innocent and morally upright than he -- Abner son of Ner, commander of Israel's army, and Amasa son of Jether, commander of Judah's army.

May Joab and his descendants be perpetually guilty of their shed blood, but may the Lord give perpetual peace to David, his descendants, his family, and his dynasty."

"The time will come when the skies are shut up tightly and no rain falls because your people sinned against you. When they direct their prayers toward this place, renew their allegiance to you, and turn away from their sin because you punish them,

She went up and laid him down on the prophet's bed. She shut the door behind her and left.

Now Elisha was sitting in his house with the community leaders. The king sent a messenger on ahead, but before he arrived, Elisha said to the leaders, "Do you realize this assassin intends to cut off my head?" Look, when the messenger arrives, shut the door and lean against it. His master will certainly be right behind him."

You will destroy the family of your master Ahab. I will get revenge against Jezebel for the shed blood of my servants the prophets and for the shed blood of all the Lord's servants.

Jehu aimed his bow and shot an arrow right between Jehoram's shoulders. The arrow went through his heart and he fell to his knees in his chariot.

"Know for sure that I saw the shed blood of Naboth and his sons yesterday," says the Lord, "and that I will give you what you deserve right here in this plot of land," says the Lord.' So now pick him up and throw him into this plot of land, just as the Lord said."

When King Ahaziah of Judah saw what happened, he took off up the road to Beth Haggan. Jehu chased him and ordered, "Shoot him too." They shot him while he was driving his chariot up the ascent of Gur near Ibleam. He fled to Megiddo and died there.

When Athaliah heard the royal guard shout, she joined the crowd at the Lord's temple.

Elisha said, "Open the east window," and he did so. Elisha said, "Shoot!" and he did so. Elisha said, "This arrow symbolizes the victory the Lord will give you over Syria. You will annihilate Syria in Aphek!"

So this is what the Lord says about the king of Assyria: "He will not enter this city, nor will he shoot an arrow here. He will not attack it with his shield-carrying warriors, nor will he build siege works against it.

Isaiah replied, "This is your sign from the Lord confirming that the Lord will do what he has said. Do you want the shadow to move ahead ten steps or to go back ten steps?"

Hezekiah answered, "It is easy for the shadow to lengthen ten steps, but not for it to go back ten steps."

Isaiah the prophet called out to the Lord, and the Lord made the shadow go back ten steps on the stairs of Ahaz.

They were armed with bows and could shoot arrows or sling stones right or left-handed. They were fellow tribesmen of Saul from Benjamin.) These were:

Let the sea and everything in it shout! Let the fields and everything in them celebrate!

Then let the trees of the forest shout with joy before the Lord, for he comes to judge the earth!

For we are resident foreigners and nomads in your presence, like all our ancestors; our days are like a shadow on the earth, without security.

"The time will come when the skies are shut up tightly and no rain falls because your people sinned against you. When they direct their prayers toward this place, renew their allegiance to you, and turn away from their sin because you punish them,

Now an archer shot an arrow at random and it struck the king of Israel between the plates of his armor. The king ordered his charioteer, "Turn around and take me from the battle line, for I am wounded."

When they began to shout and praise, the Lord suddenly attacked the Ammonites, Moabites, and men from Mount Seir who were invading Judah, and they were defeated.

In Jerusalem he made war machines carefully designed to shoot arrows and large stones from the towers and corners of the walls. He became very famous, for he received tremendous support and became powerful.

Ahaz gathered the items in God's temple and removed them. He shut the doors of the Lord's temple and erected altars on every street corner in Jerusalem.

Archers shot King Josiah; the king ordered his servants, "Take me out of this chariot, for I am seriously wounded."

With antiphonal response they sang, praising and glorifying the Lord: "For he is good; his loyal love toward Israel is forever." All the people gave a loud shout as they praised the Lord when the temple of the Lord was established.

Many of the priests, the Levites, and the leaders -- older people who had seen with their own eyes the former temple while it was still established -- were weeping loudly, and many others raised their voice in a joyous shout.

Let darkness and the deepest shadow claim it; let a cloud settle on it; let whatever blackens the day terrify it!

Indeed, let that night be barren; let no shout of joy penetrate it!

because it did not shut the doors of my mother's womb on me, nor did it hide trouble from my eyes!

Like a servant longing for the evening shadow, and like a hired man looking for his wages,

For we were born yesterday and do not have knowledge, since our days on earth are but a shadow.

before I depart, never to return, to the land of darkness and the deepest shadow,

to the land of utter darkness, like the deepest darkness, and the deepest shadow and disorder, where even the light is like darkness."

He grows up like a flower and then withers away; he flees like a shadow, and does not remain.

Like a vine he will let his sour grapes fall, and like an olive tree he will shed his blossoms.

My eyes have grown dim with grief; my whole frame is but a shadow.

In the dark the robber breaks into houses, but by day they shut themselves in; they do not know the light.

They were banished from the community -- people shouted at them like they would shout at thieves --

"Who shut up the sea with doors when it burst forth, coming out of the womb,

The lotus trees conceal it in their shadow; the poplars by the stream conceal it.

Its back has rows of shields, shut up closely together as with a seal;

Out of its mouth go flames, sparks of fire shoot forth!

But may all who take shelter in you be happy! May they continually shout for joy! Shelter them so that those who are loyal to you may rejoice!

If a person does not repent, God sharpens his sword and prepares to shoot his bow.

He prepares to use deadly weapons against him; he gets ready to shoot flaming arrows.

For look, the wicked prepare their bows, they put their arrows on the strings, to shoot in the darkness at the morally upright.

Protect me as you would protect the pupil of your eye! Hide me in the shadow of your wings!

He shot his arrows and scattered them, many lightning bolts and routed them.

Then we will shout for joy over your victory; we will rejoice in the name of our God! May the Lord grant all your requests!

The Lord's shout breaks the cedars, the Lord shatters the cedars of Lebanon.

The Lord's shout strikes with flaming fire.

The Lord's shout shakes the wilderness, the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

The Lord's shout bends the large trees and strips the leaves from the forests. Everyone in his temple says, "Majestic!"

Rejoice in the Lord and be happy, you who are godly! Shout for joy, all you who are morally upright!

You godly ones, shout for joy because of the Lord! It is appropriate for the morally upright to offer him praise.

Sing to him a new song! Play skillfully as you shout out your praises to him!

May those who desire my vindication shout for joy and rejoice! May they continually say, "May the Lord be praised, for he wants his servant to be secure."

Nations are in uproar, kingdoms are overthrown. God gives a shout, the earth dissolves.

For the music director; by the Korahites; a psalm. All you nations, clap your hands! Shout out to God in celebration!

Rescue me from the guilt of murder, O God, the God who delivers me! Then my tongue will shout for joy because of your deliverance.

For the music director; according to the al-tashcheth style; a prayer of David, written when he fled from Saul into the cave. Have mercy on me, O God! Have mercy on me! For in you I have taken shelter. In the shadow of your wings I take shelter until trouble passes.

Moab is my washbasin. I will make Edom serve me. I will shout in triumph over Philistia."

But the king will rejoice in God; everyone who takes oaths in his name will boast, for the mouths of those who speak lies will be shut up.

But God will shoot at them; suddenly they will be wounded by an arrow.

The meadows are clothed with sheep, and the valleys are covered with grain. They shout joyfully, yes, they sing.
