¹⁶ And I will make thy seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then shall thy seed also be numbered.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵⁰ Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, The thing proceedeth from the LORD: we cannot speak unto thee bad or good.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁸ And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ If thou shalt do this thing, and God command thee so, then thou shalt be able to endure, and all this people shall also go to their place in peace.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ And Moses said unto the LORD, The people cannot come up to mount Sinai: for thou chargedst us, saying, Set bounds about the mount, and sanctify it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ And Moses was not able to enter into the tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode thereon, and the glory of the LORD filled the tabernacle.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁶ Because the LORD was not able to bring this people into the land which he sware unto them, therefore he hath slain them in the wilderness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ And Balaam answered and said unto the servants of Balak, If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the LORD my God, to do less or more.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁸ And Balaam said unto Balak, Lo, I am come unto thee: have I now any power at all to say any thing? the word that God putteth in my mouth, that shall I speak.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ If Balak would give me his house full of silver and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of the LORD, to do either good or bad of mine own mind; but what the LORD saith, that will I speak?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ And I spake unto you at that time, saying, I am not able to bear you myself alone:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Thou mayest not sacrifice the passover within any of thy gates, which the LORD thy God giveth thee:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ Her former husband, which sent her away, may not take her again to be his wife, after that she is defiled; for that is abomination before the LORD: and thou shalt not cause the land to sin, which the LORD thy God giveth thee for an inheritance.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And he said unto them, I am an hundred and twenty years old this day; I can no more go out and come in: also the LORD hath said unto me, Thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

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

²⁸ Lest the land whence thou broughtest us out say, Because the LORD was not able to bring them into the land which he promised them, and because he hated them, he hath brought them out to slay them in the wilderness.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁴ And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁵ Thou shalt in any wise set him king over thee, whom the LORD thy God shall choose: one from among thy brethren shalt thou set king over thee: thou mayest not set a stranger over thee, which is not thy brother.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁷ The LORD will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ The LORD shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹² Therefore the children of Israel could not stand before their enemies, but turned their backs before their enemies, because they were accursed: neither will I be with you any more, except ye destroy the accursed from among you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Up, sanctify the people, and say, Sanctify yourselves against to morrow: for thus saith the LORD God of Israel, There is an accursed thing in the midst of thee, O Israel: thou canst not stand before thine enemies, until ye take away the accursed thing from among you.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ But all the princes said unto all the congregation, We have sworn unto them by the LORD God of Israel: now therefore we may not touch them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And Joshua said unto the people, Ye cannot serve the LORD: for he is an holy God; he is a jealous God; he will not forgive your transgressions nor your sins.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ God hath delivered into your hands the princes of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb: and what was I able to do in comparison of you? Then their anger was abated toward him, when he had said that.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of spoilers that spoiled them, and he sold them into the hands of their enemies round about, so that they could not any longer stand before their enemies.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁵ And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And the men of Beth-shemesh said, Who is able to stand before this holy LORD God? and to whom shall he go up from us?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³ Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴ And it came to pass, when king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, which had cried against the altar in Beth-el, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not pull it in again to him.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt persuade him, and prevail also: go forth, and do so.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁴⁰ So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O thou man of God, there is death in the pot. And they could not eat thereof.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

³⁰ But David could not go before it to enquire of God: for he was afraid because of the sword of the angel of the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² And the priests could not enter into the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled the LORD'S house.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ Moreover Solomon hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brasen altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offerings, and the meat offerings, and the fat.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ So that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of God.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²¹ And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the LORD said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so.

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

¹⁵ Now therefore let not Hezekiah deceive you, nor persuade you on this manner, neither yet believe him: for no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the hand of my fathers: how much less shall your God deliver you out of mine hand?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

² I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²³ For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ Yea, they spake against God; they said, Can God furnish a table in the wilderness?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ Behold, he smote the rock, that the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed; can he give bread also? can he provide flesh for his people?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ That which hath been is named named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁷ Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea further; though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Bring no more vain oblations; incense is an abomination unto me; the new moons and sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot away with; it is iniquity, even the solemn meeting.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Will he reserve his anger for ever? will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ And they shall fight against thee; but they shall not prevail against thee; for I am with thee, saith the LORD, to deliver thee.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, as a mighty man that cannot save? yet thou, O LORD, art in the midst of us, and we are called by thy name; leave us not.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁶ O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? saith the LORD. Behold, as the clay is in the potter's hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁷ O LORD, thou hast deceived me, and I was deceived: thou art stronger than I, and hast prevailed: I am in derision daily, every one mocketh me.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁹ Then I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name. But his word was in mine heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones, and I was weary with forbearing, and I could not stay.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, saying, I am shut up; I cannot go into the house of the LORD:

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² Fear ye not me? saith the LORD: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet can they not pass over it?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? behold, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the LORD is unto them a reproach; they have no delight in it.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ Therefore thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²⁰ And I will make thee unto this people a fenced brasen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I am with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ And shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury them in Tophet, till there be no place to bury.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹¹ But the LORD is with me as a mighty terrible one: therefore my persecutors shall stumble, and they shall not prevail: they shall be greatly ashamed; for they shall not prosper: their everlasting confusion shall never be forgotten.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

²² So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁰ But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁴ The yoke of my transgressions is bound by his hand: they are wreathed, and come up upon my neck: he hath made my strength to fall, the Lord hath delivered me into their hands, from whom I am not able to rise up.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Afterward he measured a thousand; and it was a river that I could not pass over: for the waters were risen, waters to swim in, a river that could not be passed over.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁹ They shall cast their silver in the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the LORD: they shall not satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowels: because it is the stumblingblock of their iniquity.

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

⁵ Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; mine anger is kindled against them: how long will it be ere they attain to innocency?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹³ Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and canst not look on iniquity: wherefore lookest thou upon them that deal treacherously, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked devoureth the man that is more righteous than he?

ASVBasic EnglishDarbyKJVWEBYLT

¹⁸ Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the LORD'S wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.
