bowels, seeketh my
life: how much more now may this

yourself or death for your enemies—but you have asked for
discernment to
administer justice—

life, to take it away.
“I have been very

life.

life be for his
life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.

cried out to the king: “Your servant had marched out into the middle of the battle, when suddenly a man came over with a
captive and told me, ‘Guard this man! If he goes missing for any reason, your
life will be exchanged for his
life, or you will
weigh out a talent of silver.’

leprosy? wherefore consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh a quarrel against me.
When the king of Israel read the letter, he
tore his clothes and asked, “Am I God, killing and giving
life, that this man expects me to cure a
leper? Surely you can see that he is seeking a quarrel with me!”

“Lift it out,” he said, and the man reached out his hand and took it.
Wherefore they arose and fled in the
twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their
asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their
life.

Elisha unto the woman, whose son he had restored to
life, saying, Arise, and go thou and thine household, and
sojourn wheresoever thou canst
sojourn: for the LORD hath called for a famine; and it shall also come upon the land seven years.

life, “Arise, you and your household; go and live as a foreigner wherever you can. For the LORD has decreed a seven-year famine, and it has already come to the land.”
And it came to pass, as he was telling the king how he had restored a dead body to
life, that, behold, the woman, whose son he had restored to
life,
cried to the king for her house and for her land. And Gehazi said, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is her son, whom
Elisha restored to
life.
And Gehazi was telling the king how
Elisha had brought the dead back to
life. Just then the woman whose son
Elisha had revived came to appeal to the king for her house and her land. So Gehazi said, “My lord the king, this is the woman, and this is the son
Elisha restored to
life.”

rode together after
Ahab his father, the LORD laid this burden upon him;
And

life shall be for the
life of him.

smitten Edom, and thine heart hath
lifted thee up: glory of this, and
tarry at home: for why shouldest thou
meddle to thy
hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?

Edom, and your heart has become proud. Glory in that and stay at home. Why should you
stir up trouble so that you fall—you and Judah with you?”
It may be the LORD thy God will hear all the words of
Rab-shakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God; and will reprove the words which the LORD thy God hath heard: wherefore

remnant that are left.
Perhaps the LORD your God will hear all the words of the
Rabshakeh, whom his master the king of Assyria has sent to
defy the living God, and He will
rebuke him for the words that the LORD your God has heard. Therefore
lift up a prayer for the
remnant that still survives.”
Whom hast thou reproached and
blasphemed? and against whom hast thou
exalted thy voice, and
lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
Whom have you
taunted and
blasphemed? Against whom have you raised your voice and
lifted your eyes in pride? Against the Holy One of Israel!
And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.

lifetime?”

twelfth month of the thirty-seventh year of the exile of Judah’s King
Jehoiachin, in the year Evil-merodach became king of Babylon, he released King
Jehoiachin of Judah from prison.

dined regularly at the king’s table for the rest of his

And the king provided

life of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long
life; but hast asked wisdom and knowledge for
thyself, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:

yourself or death for your enemies—and since you have not even requested long
life but have asked for wisdom and knowledge to
govern My people over whom I have made you king—

remnant to escape, and to give us a
nail in his holy place, that our God may
lighten our eyes, and give us a little
reviving in our
bondage.

Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their
life, to destroy, to
slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would
assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the
spoil of them for a prey,
By these letters the king permitted the Jews in each and every city the right to
assemble and defend themselves, to destroy, kill, and
annihilate all the forces of any people or province hostile to them, including women and children, and to
plunder their possessions.
And
Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin,
yea, all that a man hath will he give for his
life.
“Skin for skin!”
Satan replied. “A man will give up all he owns in exchange for his
life.
And the LORD said unto
Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his
life.
“Very well,” said the LORD to
Satan. “He is in your hands, but you must
spare his
life.”
And when they
lifted up their eyes
afar off, and knew him not, they
lifted up their voice, and

hedged in?
To set up on high those that be low; that those which

What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should
prolong my
life?
What strength do I have, that I should still hope? What is my future, that I should be patient?
O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.
Remember that my life is but a breath. My eyes will never again see happiness.
So that my soul chooseth
strangling, and death rather than my
life.
I
loathe it; I would not live
alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
I
loathe my
life! I would not live
forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would
despise my
life.
My soul is
weary of my
life; I will leave my
complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
“I
loathe my own
life; I will express my
complaint and speak in the bitterness of my soul.

If I be wicked,
woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not
lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine
affliction;
If I am guilty,
woe to me! And even if I am righteous, I cannot
lift my head. I am full of shame and aware of my
affliction.
If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
As for you, if you direct your heart and lift up your hands to Him,
For then shalt thou
lift up thy face without spot;
yea, thou shalt be
stedfast, and shalt not fear:
then indeed you will lift up your face without shame; you will stand firm and unafraid.
And thine age shall be clearer than the
noonday; thou shalt
shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
Your
life will be brighter than
noonday; its darkness will be like the morning.
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
The life of every living thing is in His hand, as well as the breath of all mankind.
