'God' in the Bible

And the people went forth and brought them, and made themselves booths, everyone upon the roof of his house, and in their courts, and in the courts of the house of God, and in the open space of the water-gate, and in the open space of the gate of Ephraim.

Also day by day, from the first day to the last day, he read in the book of the law of God. And they observed the feast seven days; and on the eighth day was a solemn assembly, according to the ordinance.

And they stood up in their place, and read in the book of the law of Jehovah their God a fourth part of the day; and a fourth part they confessed, and worshipped Jehovah their God.

Then stood up upon the platform of the Levites, Jeshua, and Bani, Kadmiel, Shebaniah, Bunni, Sherebiah, Bani, Chenani, and cried with a loud voice to Jehovah their God.

And the Levites, Jeshua, and Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabniah, Sherebiah, Hodijah, Shebaniah, Pethahiah, said, Stand up, bless Jehovah your God from eternity to eternity. And let men bless the name of thy glory, which is exalted above all blessing and praise.

Yea, when they had made them a molten calf, and said, This is thy god that brought thee up out of Egypt! and they had wrought great provocation,

Nevertheless for thy manifold mercies' sake, thou didst not make a full end of them nor forsake them; for thou art a gracious and merciful God.

And now, our God, the great, the mighty, and the terrible God, who keepest covenant and loving-kindness, let not all the trouble seem little before thee, that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our priests, and on our prophets, and on our fathers, and on all thy people, since the days of the kings of Assyria unto this day.

And the rest of the people, the priests, the Levites, the doorkeepers, the singers, the Nethinim, and all they that had separated themselves from the peoples of the lands to the law of God, their wives, their sons and their daughters, every one having knowledge and having understanding,

joined with their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse and into an oath, to walk in the law of God, which had been given by Moses the servant of God, and to keep and do all the commandments of Jehovah our Lord, and his ordinances and his statutes;

And we made ordinances for us, to charge ourselves yearly with the third part of a shekel for the service of the house of our God,

for the bread to be set in rows, and for the continual oblation, and for the continual burnt-offering, for that of the sabbaths and of the new moons, for the set feasts and for the holy things, and for the sin-offerings to make an atonement for Israel, and for all the work of the house of our God.

And we cast the lots among the priests, the Levites, and the people, for the wood-offering, to bring it into the house of our God, according to our fathers' houses, at times appointed year by year, to burn upon the altar of Jehovah our God, as it is written in the law;

and the firstborn of our sons and of our cattle, as it is written in the law; and to bring the firstlings of our herds and of our flocks to the house of our God, to the priests that minister in the house of our God;

and that we should bring the first-fruits of our coarse meal and our heave-offerings, and the fruit of all manner of trees, new wine and oil, to the priests, into the chambers of the house of our God, and the tithes of our ground to the Levites, that they, the Levites, should take the tithes in all the cities of our tillage.

And the priest the son of Aaron shall be with the Levites, when the Levites take tithes; and the Levites shall bring up the tithe of the tithes to the house of our God, into the chambers of the treasure-house.

For the children of Israel and the children of Levi shall bring the heave-offering of the corn, of the new wine and the oil, into the chambers, where are the vessels of the sanctuary, and the priests that minister, and the doorkeepers and the singers. And we will not forsake the house of our God.

Seraiah the son of Hilkijah, the son of Meshullam, the son of Zadok, the son of Meraioth, the son of Ahitub, the ruler of the house of God.

and Shabbethai and Jozabad, of the chiefs of the Levites, who were over the outward work of the house of God;

And the overseer of the Levites at Jerusalem was Uzzi the son of Bani, the son of Hashabiah, the son of Mattaniah, the son of Mica, of the sons of Asaph, the singers, for the work of the house of God.

And the chief Levites: Hashabiah, Sherebiah, and Jeshua the son of Kadmiel, with their brethren over against them, to praise and to give thanks, according to the commandment of David the man of God, ward over against ward.

and his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azareel, Milalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, with the musical instruments of David the man of God; and Ezra the scribe before them.

And both choirs stood in the house of God, and I, and the half of the rulers with me;

And that day they offered great sacrifices, and rejoiced: for God had made them rejoice with great joy; and also the women and the children rejoiced. And the joy of Jerusalem was heard even afar off.

And, with the singers and the doorkeepers, they kept the ward of their God, and the ward of the purification, according to the commandment of David and of Solomon his son.

For of old, in the days of David and Asaph, there were the chiefs of the singers, and songs of praise and thanksgivings to God.

On that day they read in the book of Moses in the audience of the people; and there was found written in it that the Ammonite and the Moabite should not come into the congregation of God for ever;

because they had not met the children of Israel with bread and with water, and had hired Balaam against them, to curse them; but our God turned the curse into blessing.

And before this, Eliashib the priest, who had the oversight of the chambers of the house of our God, a kinsman of Tobijah,

And I came to Jerusalem, and observed the evil that Eliashib had done for Tobijah, in preparing him a chamber in the courts of the house of God.

And I commanded, and they purified the chambers; and thither brought I again the vessels of the house of God, the oblation and the frankincense.

Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and wipe not out my good deeds which I have done for the house of my God, and for the charges thereof!

Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God bring all this evil upon us and upon this city? And ye will bring more wrath against Israel by profaning the sabbath.

And I commanded the Levites that they should purify themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to hallow the sabbath day. Remember this also for me, my God, and spare me according to thy great loving-kindness!

And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them and plucked off their hair, and adjured them by God saying, Ye shall not give your daughters to their sons, nor take their daughters for your sons or for yourselves.

Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? Yet among the many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel; but even him did foreign wives cause to sin.

And should we hearken to you to do all this great evil, to act unfaithfully to our God by marrying foreign wives?

Remember them, my God, for they are polluters of the priesthood, and of the covenant of the priesthood and of the Levites!

and for the wood-offering, at times appointed, and for the first-fruits. Remember me, O my God, for good!

There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and this man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God and abstained from evil.

And it was so, when the days of the feasting were gone about, that Job sent and hallowed them; and he rose up early in the morning, and offered up burnt-offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, It may be that my children have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah; and Satan came also among them.

And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and abstaineth from evil?

And Satan answered Jehovah and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.

In all this Job sinned not, nor ascribed anything unseemly to God.

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

And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and abstaineth from evil? and still he remaineth firm in his integrity, though thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up without cause.

And his wife said to him, Dost thou still remain firm in thine integrity? curse God and die.

But he said to her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. We have also received good from God, and should we not receive evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

But as for me I will seek unto God, and unto God commit my cause;

Doth God pervert judgment, and the Almighty pervert justice?

If thou seek earnestly unto God, and make thy supplication to the Almighty,

So are the paths of all that forget God; and the profane man's hope shall perish,

Behold, God will not cast off a perfect man, neither will he take evil-doers by the hand.

Of a truth I know it is so; but how can man be just with God?

The tents of desolators are in peace, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand +God bringeth.

But I will speak to the Almighty, and will find pleasure in reasoning with God;

Will ye speak unrighteously for God? and for him speak deceit?

Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?

Yea, thou makest piety of none effect, and restrainest meditation before God.

Are the consolations of God too small for thee? and the word gently spoken to thee?

That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest words go out of thy mouth?

For he hath stretched out his hand against God, and strengthened himself against the Almighty:

God hath delivered me over to the iniquitous man, and hurled me into the hands of the wicked.

Surely, such are the dwellings of the unrighteous man, and such the place of him that knoweth not God.

Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

He hath swallowed down riches, but he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

This is the portion of the wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed to him by God.

And they say unto God, Depart from us, for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways!

Can any teach God knowledge? And he it is that judgeth those that are high.

Can a man be profitable to God? surely it is unto himself that the wise man is profitable.

And thou sayest, What doth God know? will he judge through the dark cloud?

Who said unto God, Depart from us! and what could the Almighty do to them?

For God hath made my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me;

God setteth him in safety, and he resteth thereon; but his eyes are upon their ways.

And how should man be just with God? Or how should he be clean that is born of a woman?

As God liveth, who hath taken away my right, and the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul,

For what is the hope of the ungodly, when God cutteth him off, when +God taketh away his soul?

Will God hear his cry when distress cometh upon him?

I will teach you concerning the hand of God; what is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

This is the portion of the wicked man with God, and the heritage of the violent, which they receive from the Almighty: --

And God shall cast upon him and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth its place:

What then should I do when God riseth up? and if he visited, what should I answer him?

For calamity from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his excellency I was powerless.

This also would be an iniquity for the judge, for I should have denied the God who is above.

Then was kindled the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his anger kindled, because he justified himself rather than God;

That ye may not say, We have found out wisdom; God will make him yield, not man.

The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

Behold, before God I am as thou; I also am formed out of the clay.

For God speaketh once, and twice, and man perceiveth it not --

Lo, all these things worketh God twice, thrice, with man,

For Job hath said, I am righteous, and God hath taken away my judgment:

For he hath said, It profiteth not a man if he delight himself in God.

Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be wickedness from God, and wrong from the Almighty!

Yea, surely, God acteth not wickedly, and the Almighty perverteth not judgment.

For he doth not long consider a man, to bring him before God in judgment.

For hath he said unto God, I bear chastisement, I will not offend;

For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
