'Ready' in the Bible
And he will be like a tree firmly planted [and fed] by streams of water,Which yields its fruit in its season;Its leaf does not wither;And in whatever he does, he prospers [and comes to maturity].
If a man does not repent, God will sharpen His sword;He has strung and bent His [mighty] bow and made it ready.
For look, the wicked are bending the bow;They take aim with their arrow on the stringTo shoot [by stealth] in darkness at the upright in heart.
For I am ready to fall;My sorrow is continually before me.
My heart overflows with a good theme;I address my psalm to the King.My tongue is like the pen of a skillful writer.
Surely His salvation is near to those who [reverently] fear Him [and obey Him with submissive wonder],That glory [the manifest presence of God] may dwell in our land.
For You, O Lord, are good, and ready to forgive [our sins, sending them away, completely letting them go forever and ever];And abundant in lovingkindness and overflowing in mercy to all those who call upon You.
Because the man did not remember to show kindness,But persecuted the suffering and needy man,And the brokenhearted, to put them to death.
Let Your hand be ready to help me,For I have chosen Your precepts.
