'Takes' in the Bible

He takes his rest under the trees of the river, and in the pool, under the shade of the water-plants.

The evil-doers are not so; but are like the dust from the grain, which the wind takes away.

For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wrongdoing; there is no evil with you.

Because of this my heart is glad, and my glory is full of joy: while my flesh takes its rest in hope.

He gives thought to evil on his bed; he takes a way which is not good; he is not a hater of evil.

The sinner takes money and does not give it back; but the upright man has mercy, and gives to others.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord, and he takes delight in his way.

For the Lord is a lover of righteousness, and takes care of his saints; they will be kept safe for ever; but the seed of the evil-doers will be cut off.

(Because it takes a great price to keep his soul from death, and man is not able to give it.)

For the ears of the Lord are open to the poor, and he takes thought for his prisoners.

Or of the disease which takes men in the dark, or of the destruction which makes waste when the sun is high.

You who are lovers of the Lord, be haters of evil; he keeps the souls of his saints; he takes them out of the hand of sinners.

He has forgiveness for all your sins; he takes away all your diseases;

Then they are glad, because the sea is quiet, and he takes them to the harbour of their desire.

He takes the poor man out of the dust, lifting him up from his low position;

Happy is the man who takes your little ones, crushing them against the rocks.

The Lord takes pleasure in his worshippers, and in those whose hope is in his mercy.

Such is the fate of everyone who goes in search of profit; it takes away the life of its owners.

He keeps watch on the ways which are right, and takes care of those who have the fear of him.

Men do not have a low opinion of a thief who takes food when he is in need of it:

He who takes another man's wife is without all sense: he who does it is the cause of destruction to his soul.

In the sin of the lips is a net which takes the sinner, but the upright man will come out of trouble.

Need and shame will be the fate of him who is uncontrolled by training; but he who takes note of teaching will be honoured.

The highway of the upright is to be turned away from evil: he who takes care of his way will keep his soul.

He who is slow to be angry is better than a man of war, and he who has control over his spirit than he who takes a town.

A sinner takes an offering out of his robe, to get a decision for himself in a cause.

A man who takes part with a thief has hate for his soul; he is put under oath, but says nothing.

This is the way of a false wife; she takes food, and, cleaning her mouth, says, I have done no wrong.

A hated woman when she is married; and a servant-girl who takes the place of her master's wife.

Her husband is a man of note in the public place, when he takes his seat among the responsible men of the land.

The foolish man, folding his hands, takes the flesh of his body for food.

A man to whom God gives money, wealth, and honour so that he has all his desires but God does not give him the power to have joy of it, and a strange man takes it. This is to no purpose and an evil disease.

If a man has a hundred children, and his life is long so that the days of his years are great in number, but his soul takes no pleasure in good, and he is not honoured at his death; I say that a birth before its time is better than he.

With part of it he makes a fire, and on the fire he gets meat cooked and takes a full meal: he makes himself warm, and says, Aha! I am warm, I have seen the fire:

And no one takes note, no one has enough knowledge or wisdom to say, I have put part of it in the fire, and made bread on it; I have had a meal of the flesh cooked with it: and am I now to make the rest of it into a false god? am I to go down on my face before a bit of wood?

Says the Lord who takes up our cause; the Lord of armies is his name, the Holy One of Israel.

The Lord who takes up Israel's cause, even his Holy One, says to him whom men make sport of, who is hated by the nations, a servant of rulers: Kings will see and get up from their places, and chiefs will give worship: because of the Lord who keeps faith; even the Holy One of Israel who has taken you for himself.

And the flesh of your attackers will be taken by themselves for food; and they will take their blood for drink, as if it was sweet wine: and all men will see that I the Lord am your saviour, even he who takes up your cause, the Strong One of Jacob.

This is the word of the Lord your master, even your God who takes up the cause of his people: See, I have taken out of your hand the cup which overcomes, even the cup of my wrath; it will not again be given to you:

For your Maker is your husband; the Lord of armies is his name: and the Holy One of Israel is he who takes up your cause; he will be named the God of all the earth.

So that he who is requesting a blessing will make use of the name of the true God, and he who takes an oath will do so by the true God; because the past troubles are gone out of mind, and because they are covered from my eyes.

He who puts an ox to death puts a man to death; he who makes an offering of a lamb puts a dog to death; he who makes a meal offering makes an offering of pig's blood; he who makes an offering of perfumes for a sign gives worship to an image: as they have gone after their desires, and their soul takes pleasure in their disgusting things;

They have made it waste; it is weeping to me, being wasted; all the land is made waste, because no man takes it to heart.

When any one of the men of Israel, or of those from other lands who are living in Israel, who has become strange to me, and takes his false gods into his heart, and puts before his face the sin which is the cause of his fall, comes to the prophet to get directions from me; I the Lord will give him an answer by myself:

The untrue wife who takes strange lovers in place of her husband!

Then anyone who, hearing the sound of the horn, does not take note of it, will himself be responsible for his death, if the sword comes and takes him away.

But if the watchman sees the sword coming, and does not give a note on the horn, and the people have no word of the danger, and the sword comes and takes any person from among them; he will be taken away in his sin, but I will make the watchman responsible for his blood.

You put your faith in your swords, you do disgusting things, everyone takes his neighbour's wife: are you to have the land for your heritage?

And he will make use of the people of a strange god to keep his strongest places; to those whom he takes note of he will give high honour: and he will make them rulers over the mass of the people, and will make division of the land for a price.

When my desire was for the fate of my people to be changed and to make Israel well, then the sin of Ephraim was made clear, and the evil-doing of Samaria; for their ways are false, and the thief comes into the house, while the band of outlaws takes property by force in the streets.

He gives the offerings of his lovers, and takes the flesh for food; but the Lord has no pleasure in them; now he will keep in mind their evil-doing and give them the punishment of their sins; they will go back to Egypt.

As for Canaan, the scales of deceit are in his hands; he takes pleasure in twisted ways.

These are the words of the Lord: As the keeper of sheep takes out of the mouth of the lion two legs or part of an ear; so will the children of Israel be made safe, who are resting in Samaria on seats of honour or on the silk cushions of a bed.

Then Amos in answer said to Amaziah, I am no prophet, or one of the sons of the prophets; I am a herdman and one who takes care of sycamore-trees:

I will undergo the wrath of the Lord, because of my sin against him; till he takes up my cause and does what is right for me: when he makes me come out into the light, I will see his righteousness;

The Lord is a God who takes care of his honour and gives punishment for wrong; the Lord gives punishment and is angry; the Lord sends punishment on those who are against him, being angry with his haters.

He takes the record of his great men: they go falling on their way; they go quickly to the wall, the cover is made ready.

Because of all the false ways of the loose woman, expert in attraction and wise in secret arts, who takes nations in the net of her false ways, and families through her secret arts.
