⁵ Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ And I will make thee exceeding fruitful, and I will make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And I will make thy seed to multiply as the stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all these countries; and in thy seed shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ And I will bless her, and give thee a son also of her: yea, I will bless her, and she shall be a mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And God said unto him, I am God Almighty: be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall be of thee, and kings shall come out of thy loins;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ For I will cast out the nations before thee, and enlarge thy borders: neither shall any man desire thy land, when thou shalt go up to appear before the LORD thy God thrice in the year.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Defile not ye yourselves in any of these things: for in all these the nations are defiled which I cast out before you:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ God brought him forth out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn: he shall eat up the nations his enemies, and shall break their bones, and pierce them through with his arrows.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Now if thou shalt kill all this people as one man, then the nations which have heard the fame of thee will speak, saying,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ When the LORD thy God shall bring thee into the land whither thou goest to possess it, and hath cast out many nations before thee, the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the Amorites, and the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations greater and mightier than thou;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the LORD thy God hath cast them out from before thee, saying, For my righteousness the LORD hath brought me in to possess this land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD doth drive them out from before thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Not for thy righteousness, or for the uprightness of thine heart, dost thou go to possess their land: but for the wickedness of these nations the LORD thy God doth drive them out from before thee, and that he may perform the word which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ When thou art come into the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, thou shalt not learn to do after the abominations of those nations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ When the LORD thy God hath cut off the nations, whose land the LORD thy God giveth thee, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their cities, and in their houses;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ And it shall come to pass, when all these things are come upon thee, the blessing and the curse, which I have set before thee, and thou shalt call them to mind among all the nations, whither the LORD thy God hath driven thee,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ The LORD thy God, he will go over before thee, and he will destroy these nations from before thee, and thou shalt possess them: and Joshua, he shall go over before thee, as the LORD hath said.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ When the most High divided to the nations their inheritance, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the people according to the number of the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And the LORD thy God will put out those nations before thee by little and little: thou mayest not consume them at once, lest the beasts of the field increase upon thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ Then will the LORD drive out all these nations from before you, and ye shall possess greater nations and mightier than yourselves.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁹ When the LORD thy God shall cut off the nations from before thee, whither thou goest to possess them, and thou succeedest them, and dwellest in their land;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ When thou art come unto the land which the LORD thy God giveth thee, and shalt possess it, and shalt dwell therein, and shalt say, I will set a king over me, like as all the nations that are about me;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ For these nations, which thou shalt possess, hearkened unto observers of times, and unto diviners: but as for thee, the LORD thy God hath not suffered thee so to do.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And to make thee high above all nations which he hath made, in praise, and in name, and in honour; and that thou mayest be an holy people unto the LORD thy God, as he hath spoken.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² The LORD shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶⁵ And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the LORD shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Lest there should be among you man, or woman, or family, or tribe, whose heart turneth away this day from the LORD our God, to go and serve the gods of these nations; lest there should be among you a root that beareth gall and wormwood;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Even all nations shall say, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this land? what meaneth the heat of this great anger?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴³ Rejoice, O ye nations, with his people: for he will avenge the blood of his servants, and will render vengeance to his adversaries, and will be merciful unto his land, and to his people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ And ye have seen all that the LORD your God hath done unto all these nations because of you; for the LORD your God is he that hath fought for you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ For the LORD hath driven out from before you great nations and strong: but as for you, no man hath been able to stand before you unto this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Know for a certainty that the LORD your God will no more drive out any of these nations from before you; but they shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your sides, and thorns in your eyes, until ye perish from off this good land which the LORD your God hath given you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Now these are the nations which the LORD left, to prove Israel by them, even as many of Israel as had not known all the wars of Canaan;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ I also will not henceforth drive out any from before them of the nations which Joshua left when he died:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out hastily; neither delivered he them into the hand of Joshua.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Which also king David did dedicate unto the LORD, with the silver and gold that he had dedicated of all nations which he subdued;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And there were also sodomites in the land: and they did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ But they hearkened not: and Manasseh seduced them to do more evil than did the nations whom the LORD destroyed before the children of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³³ They feared the LORD, and served their own gods, after the manner of the nations whom they carried away from thence.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴¹ So these nations feared the LORD, and served their graven images, both their children, and their children's children: as did their fathers, so do they unto this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Of a truth, LORD, the kings of Assyria have destroyed the nations and their lands,

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the LORD brought the fear of him upon all nations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³¹ Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, The LORD reigneth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Them also king David dedicated unto the LORD, with the silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations; from Edom, and from Moab, and from the children of Ammon, and from the Philistines, and from Amalek.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ Who was there among all the gods of those nations that my fathers utterly destroyed, that could deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of mine hand?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ He wrote also letters to rail on the LORD God of Israel, and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other lands have not delivered their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And many brought gifts unto the LORD to Jerusalem, and presents to Hezekiah king of Judah: so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thenceforth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ Did not Solomon king of Israel sin by these things? yet among many nations was there no king like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made him king over all Israel: nevertheless even him did outlandish women cause to sin.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ He ruleth by his power for ever; his eyes behold the nations: let not the rebellious exalt themselves. Selah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² That thy way may be known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ The LORD is high above all nations, and his glory above the heavens.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ O praise the LORD, all ye nations: praise him, all ye people.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: and all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ For the kingdom is the LORD'S: and he is the governor among the nations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ His name shall endure for ever: his name shall be continued as long as the sun: and men shall be blessed in him: all nations shall call him blessed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ All nations compassed me about: but in the name of the LORD will I destroy them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD'S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Nevertheless the dimness shall not be such as was in her vexation, when at the first he lightly afflicted the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, and afterward did more grievously afflict her by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, in Galilee of the nations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together: the LORD of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ At the noise of the tumult the people fled; at the lifting up of thyself the nations were scattered.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² For the indignation of the LORD is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath utterly destroyed them, he hath delivered them to the slaughter.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹ Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁶ And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² As when the melting fire burneth, the fire causeth the waters to boil, to make thy name known to thine adversaries, that the nations may tremble at thy presence!

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² And he shall set up an ensign for the nations, and shall assemble the outcasts of Israel, and gather together the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And his breath, as an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of vanity: and there shall be a bridle in the jaws of the people, causing them to err.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, saying, The LORD will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Assyria?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Behold, the nations are as a drop of a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the balance: behold, he taketh up the isles as a very little thing.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ All nations before him are as nothing; and they are counted to him less than nothing, and vanity.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, ye that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray unto a god that cannot save.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ For I know their works and their thoughts: it shall come, that I will gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow, to Tubal, and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering unto the LORD out of all nations upon horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and upon mules, and upon swift beasts, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, saith the LORD, as the children of Israel bring an offering in a clean vessel into the house of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And thou shalt swear, The LORD liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; and the nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like unto thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁸ And many nations shall pass by this city, and they shall say every man to his neighbour, Wherefore hath the LORD done thus unto this great city?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.
