'Stood' in the Bible

Should good be repaid with evil? Yet they have dug a pit to take my life. Remember! I stood before you and spoke good on their behalf in order to turn your wrath away from them.

Then Jeremiah went from Topheth where the LORD had sent him to prophesy. He stood in the courtyard of the LORD's Temple, saying to all the people,

But who has stood in the LORD's council to see and hear his message? Who has paid attention to his message and obeyed it?

If they had stood in my council and had delivered my words to my people, then they would have turned them back from their evil way, from their evil deeds."
