'Befall' in the Bible

They said, “We see clearly that the Lord has been with you; so we said, ‘There should now be an oath between us [with a curse for the one who breaks it], that is, between you and us, and let us make a covenant (binding agreement, solemn promise) with you,

But Jacob did not send Benjamin, Joseph’s [younger] brother, with his brothers, for he said, “I am afraid that some harm or injury may come to him.”

But Jacob said, “My son shall not go down [to Egypt] with you; for his brother is dead, and he alone is left [of Rachel’s children]. If any harm or accident should happen to him on the journey you are taking, then you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol (the place of the dead) in sorrow.”

If you take this one also from me, and harm or an accident happens to him, you will bring my gray hair down to Sheol in sorrow.’

Then Jacob called for his sons and said, “Assemble yourselves [around me] that I may tell you what will happen to you and your descendants in the days to come.

Come, let us deal shrewdly with them, so that they will not multiply and in the event of war, join our enemies, and fight against us and escape from the land.”

Then My anger will be kindled and burn against them in that day, and I will abandon (turn away from) them and hide My face from them. They will be devoured, and many evils and troubles will come on them, so that they will say in that day, ‘Is it not because our God is not among us that these evils have come on us?’

For I know that after my death you will behave corruptly and turn from the way which I have commanded you; and evil will come upon you in the latter days, because you will do evil in the sight of the Lord, provoking Him to anger with the work of your hands.”

“Does not tragedy fall [justly] on the unjustAnd disaster to those who work wickedness?

Let destruction come upon my enemy by surprise;Let the net he hid for me catch him;Into that very destruction let him fall.

No evil will befall you,Nor will any plague come near your tent.

Behold, they keep saying to me,“Where is the word of the Lord [that is, the disaster that you prophesied]?Let it come now!”

Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision is in regard to the days yet to come.”

Then Jesus, knowing all that was about to happen to Him, went to them and asked, “Whom do you want?”

But Simon answered, “Pray to the Lord for me both of you, so that nothing of what you have said will come upon me.”

And now, compelled by the Spirit and obligated by my convictions, I am going to Jerusalem, not knowing what will happen to me there,
