Then Esau took his wives, children, household servants, cattle, and flocks--all the wealth he had gained in the land of Canaan--and moved away from his brother, Jacob.

Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age. Also he made him a tunic of many colors.

Now Jacob loved Joseph more than any of his other children because Joseph had been born to him in his old age. So one day he gave Joseph a special gift--a beautiful robe.

When his brothers realized that their father loved him more than them, they grew to hate him--they wouldn't even speak to him.

Gen.37.4

When his brothers saw that their father loved him more than any of them, they hated him and could not speak a kind word to him.

Gen.37.4

Gen.37.5

Joseph had a dream. When he told it to his brothers, they hated him even more.

Gen.37.5

Joseph had a dream, and when he told it to his brothers, they hated him all the more.

Gen.37.5

Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more.

Gen.37.6

He said, "Listen to this dream I had.

Gen.37.6

He said to them, "Listen to this dream I had:

Gen.37.6

So he said to them, "Please hear this dream which I have dreamed:

Gen.37.6

"Listen to this dream," he announced.

Gen.37.7

We were all out in the field gathering bundles of wheat. All of a sudden my bundle stood straight up and your bundles circled around it and bowed down to mine."

Gen.37.7

We were binding sheaves of grain out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered around mine and bowed down to it."

Gen.37.7

There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf."

Gen.37.7

"We were out in the field tying up bundles of grain. My bundle stood up, and then your bundles all gathered around and bowed low before it!"

Gen.37.8

His brothers said, "So! You're going to rule us? You're going to boss us around?" And they hated him more than ever because of his dreams and the way he talked.

Gen.37.8

His brothers said to him, "Do you intend to reign over us? Will you actually rule us?" And they hated him all the more because of his dream and what he had said.

Gen.37.8

And his brothers said to him, "Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?" So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.

Gen.37.8

"So you are going to be our king, are you?" his brothers taunted. And they hated him all the more for his dream and what he had said.

Gen.37.9

He had another dream and told this one also to his brothers: "I dreamed another dream--the sun and moon and eleven stars bowed down to me!"

Gen.37.9

Then he had another dream, and he told it to his brothers. "Listen," he said, "I had another dream, and this time the sun and moon and eleven stars were bowing down to me."

Gen.37.9

Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, and said, "Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me."

Gen.37.9

Then Joseph had another dream and told his brothers about it. "Listen to this dream," he said. "The sun, moon, and eleven stars bowed low before me!"

Gen.37.10

When he told it to his father and brothers, his father reprimanded him: "What's with all this dreaming? Am I and your mother and your brothers all supposed to bow down to you?"

Gen.37.10

When he told his father as well as his brothers, his father rebuked him and said, "What is this dream you had? Will your mother and I and your brothers actually come and bow down to the ground before you?"

Gen.37.10

So he told it to his father and his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, "What is this dream that you have dreamed? Shall your mother and I and your brothers indeed come to bow down to the earth before you?"

Gen.37.10

This time he told his father as well as his brothers, and his father rebuked him. "What do you mean?" his father asked. "Will your mother, your brothers, and I actually come and bow before you?"

Gen.37.11

Now his brothers were really jealous; but his father brooded over the whole business.

Gen.37.11

His brothers were jealous of him, but his father kept the matter in mind.

Gen.37.11

And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.

Gen.37.11

But while his brothers were jealous of Joseph, his father gave it some thought and wondered what it all meant.

Gen.37.12

His brothers had gone off to Shechem where they were pasturing their father's flocks.

Gen.37.12

Now his brothers had gone to graze their father's flocks near Shechem,

Gen.37.12

Then his brothers went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.

Gen.37.12

Soon after this, Joseph's brothers went to pasture their father's flocks at Shechem.

Gen.37.13

Israel said to Joseph, "Your brothers are with flocks in Shechem. Come, I want to send you to them." Joseph said, "I'm ready."

Gen.37.13

and Israel said to Joseph, "As you know, your brothers are grazing the flocks near Shechem. Come, I am going to send you to them.Very well," he replied.

Gen.37.13

And Israel said to Joseph, "Are not your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, I will send you to them." So he said to him, "Here I am."

Gen.37.13

When they had been gone for some time, Jacob said to Joseph, "Your brothers are over at Shechem with the flocks. I'm going to send you to them.I'm ready to go," Joseph replied.

Gen.37.14

He said, "Go and see how your brothers and the flocks are doing and bring me back a report." He sent him off from the valley of Hebron to Shechem.

Gen.37.14

So he said to him, "Go and see if all is well with your brothers and with the flocks, and bring word back to me." Then he sent him off from the Valley of Hebron. When Joseph arrived at Shechem,

Gen.37.14

Then he said to him, "Please go and see if it is well with your brothers and well with the flocks, and bring back word to me." So he sent him out of the Valley of Hebron, and he went to Shechem.

Gen.37.14

"Go and see how your brothers and the flocks are getting along," Jacob said. "Then come back and bring me word." So Jacob sent him on his way, and Joseph traveled to Shechem from his home in the valley of Hebron.

Gen.37.15

A man met him as he was wandering through the fields and asked him, "What are you looking for?"

Gen.37.15

a man found him wandering around in the fields and asked him, "What are you looking for?"

Gen.37.15

Now a certain man found him, and there he was, wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying, "What are you seeking?"

Gen.37.15

When he arrived there, a man noticed him wandering around the countryside. "What are you looking for?" he asked.

Gen.37.16

"I'm trying to find my brothers. Do you have any idea where they are grazing their flocks?"

Gen.37.16

He replied, "I'm looking for my brothers. Can you tell me where they are grazing their flocks?"

Gen.37.16

So he said, "I am seeking my brothers. Please tell me where they are feeding their flocks."

Gen.37.16

"For my brothers and their flocks," Joseph replied. "Have you seen them?"

Gen.37.17

The man said, "They've left here, but I overheard them say, "Let's go to Dothan.'" So Joseph took off, tracked his brothers down, and found them in Dothan.

Gen.37.17

"They have moved on from here," the man answered. "I heard them say, 'Let's go to Dothan.'" So Joseph went after his brothers and found them near Dothan.

Gen.37.17

And the man said, "They have departed from here, for I heard them say, "Let us go to Dothan."' So Joseph went after his brothers and found them in Dothan.

Gen.37.17

"Yes," the man told him, "but they are no longer here. I heard your brothers say they were going to Dothan." So Joseph followed his brothers to Dothan and found them there.

Gen.37.18

They spotted him off in the distance. By the time he got to them they had cooked up a plot to kill him.

Gen.37.18

But they saw him in the distance, and before he reached them, they plotted to kill him.

Gen.37.18

Now when they saw him afar off, even before he came near them, they conspired against him to kill him.

Gen.37.18

When Joseph's brothers saw him coming, they recognized him in the distance and made plans to kill him.

Gen.37.19

The brothers were saying, "Here comes that dreamer.

Gen.37.19

"Here comes that dreamer!" they said to each other.

Gen.37.19

Then they said to one another, "Look, this dreamer is coming!

Gen.37.19

"Here comes that dreamer!" they exclaimed.

Gen.37.20

Let's kill him and throw him into one of these old cisterns; we can say that a vicious animal ate him up. We'll see what his dreams amount to."

Gen.37.20

"Come now, let's kill him and throw him into one of these cisterns and say that a ferocious animal devoured him. Then we'll see what comes of his dreams."

Gen.37.20

Come therefore, let us now kill him and cast him into some pit; and we shall say, "Some wild beast has devoured him.' We shall see what will become of his dreams!"

Gen.37.20

"Come on, let's kill him and throw him into a deep pit. We can tell our father that a wild animal has eaten him. Then we'll see what becomes of all his dreams!"

Gen.37.21

Reuben heard the brothers talking and intervened to save him, "We're not going to kill him.

Gen.37.21

When Reuben heard this, he tried to rescue him from their hands. "Let's not take his life," he said.

Gen.37.21

But Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands, and said, "Let us not kill him."

Gen.37.21

But Reuben came to Joseph's rescue. "Let's not kill him," he said.

Gen.37.22

No murder. Go ahead and throw him in this cistern out here in the wild, but don't hurt him." Reuben planned to go back later and get him out and take him back to his father.

Gen.37.22

"Don't shed any blood. Throw him into this cistern here in the desert, but don't lay a hand on him." Reuben said this to rescue him from them and take him back to his father.

Gen.37.22

And Reuben said to them, "Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit which is in the wilderness, and do not lay a hand on him"--that he might deliver him out of their hands, and bring him back to his father.

Gen.37.22

"Why should we shed his blood? Let's just throw him alive into this pit here. That way he will die without our having to touch him." Reuben was secretly planning to help Joseph escape, and then he would bring him back to his father.

Gen.37.23

When Joseph reached his brothers, they ripped off the fancy coat he was wearing,

Gen.37.23

So when Joseph came to his brothers, they stripped him of his robe-the richly ornamented robe he was wearing-

Gen.37.23

So it came to pass, when Joseph had come to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him.

Gen.37.23

So when Joseph arrived, they pulled off his beautiful robe

Gen.37.24

grabbed him, and threw him into a cistern. The cistern was dry; there wasn't any water in it.

Gen.37.24

and they took him and threw him into the cistern. Now the cistern was empty; there was no water in it.

Gen.37.24

Then they took him and cast him into a pit. And the pit was empty; there was no water in it.

Gen.37.24

and threw him into the pit. This pit was normally used to store water, but it was empty at the time.

Gen.37.25

Then they sat down to eat their supper. Looking up, they saw a caravan of Ishmaelites on their way from Gilead, their camels loaded with spices, ointments, and perfumes to sell in Egypt.

Gen.37.25

As they sat down to eat their meal, they looked up and saw a caravan of Ishmaelites coming from Gilead. Their camels were loaded with spices, balm and myrrh, and they were on their way to take them down to Egypt.

Gen.37.25

And they sat down to eat a meal. Then they lifted their eyes and looked, and there was a company of Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead with their camels, bearing spices, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry them down to Egypt.

Gen.37.25

Then, just as they were sitting down to eat, they noticed a caravan of camels in the distance coming toward them. It was a group of Ishmaelite traders taking spices, balm, and myrrh from Gilead to Egypt.

Gen.37.26

Judah said, "Brothers, what are we going to get out of killing our brother and concealing the evidence?

Gen.37.26

Judah said to his brothers, "What will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?

Gen.37.26

So Judah said to his brothers, "What profit is there if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?

Gen.37.26

Judah said to the others, "What can we gain by killing our brother? That would just give us a guilty conscience.

Gen.37.27

Let's sell him to the Ishmaelites, but let's not kill him--he is, after all, our brother, our own flesh and blood." His brothers agreed.

Gen.37.27

Come, let's sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay our hands on him; after all, he is our brother, our own flesh and blood." His brothers agreed.

Gen.37.27

Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother and our flesh." And his brothers listened.

Gen.37.27

Let's sell Joseph to those Ishmaelite traders. Let's not be responsible for his death; after all, he is our brother!" And his brothers agreed.

Gen.37.28

By that time the Midianite traders were passing by. His brothers pulled Joseph out of the cistern and sold him for twenty pieces of silver to the Ishmaelites who took Joseph with them down to Egypt.

Gen.37.28

So when the Midianite merchants came by, his brothers pulled Joseph up out of the cistern and sold him for twenty shekels of silver to the Ishmaelites, who took him to Egypt.

Gen.37.28

Then Midianite traders passed by; so the brothers pulled Joseph up and lifted him out of the pit, and sold him to the Ishmaelites for twenty shekels of silver. And they took Joseph to Egypt.

Gen.37.28

So when the traders came by, his brothers pulled Joseph out of the pit and sold him for twenty pieces of silver, and the Ishmaelite traders took him along to Egypt.

Gen.37.29

Later Reuben came back and went to the cistern--no Joseph! He ripped his clothes in despair.

Gen.37.29

When Reuben returned to the cistern and saw that Joseph was not there, he tore his clothes.

Gen.37.29

Then Reuben returned to the pit, and indeed Joseph was not in the pit; and he tore his clothes.

Gen.37.29

Some time later, Reuben returned to get Joseph out of the pit. When he discovered that Joseph was missing, he tore his clothes in anguish and frustration.

Gen.37.30

Beside himself, he went to his brothers. "The boy's gone! What am I going to do!"

Gen.37.30

He went back to his brothers and said, "The boy isn't there! Where can I turn now?"

Gen.37.30

And he returned to his brothers and said, "The lad is no more; and I, where shall I go?"

Gen.37.30

Then he went back to his brothers and lamented, "The boy is gone! What can I do now?"

Gen.37.31

They took Joseph's coat, butchered a goat, and dipped the coat in the blood.

Gen.37.31

Then they got Joseph's robe, slaughtered a goat and dipped the robe in the blood.

Gen.37.31

So they took Joseph's tunic, killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood.

Gen.37.31

Then Joseph's brothers killed a goat and dipped the robe in its blood.

Gen.37.32

They took the fancy coat back to their father and said, "We found this. Look it over--do you think this is your son's coat?"

Gen.37.32

They took the ornamented robe back to their father and said, "We found this. Examine it to see whether it is your son's robe."

Gen.37.32

Then they sent the tunic of many colors, and they brought it to their father and said, "We have found this. Do you know whether it is your son's tunic or not?"

Gen.37.32

They took the beautiful robe to their father and asked him to identify it. "We found this in the field," they told him. "It's Joseph's robe, isn't it?"

Gen.37.33

He recognized it at once. "My son's coat--a wild animal has eaten him. Joseph torn limb from limb!"

Gen.37.33

He recognized it and said, "It is my son's robe! Some ferocious animal has devoured him. Joseph has surely been torn to pieces."

Gen.37.33

And he recognized it and said, "It is my son's tunic. A wild beast has devoured him. Without doubt Joseph is torn to pieces."

Gen.37.33

Their father recognized it at once. "Yes," he said, "it is my son's robe. A wild animal has attacked and eaten him. Surely Joseph has been torn in pieces!"

Gen.37.34

Jacob tore his clothes in grief, dressed in rough burlap, and mourned his son a long, long time.

Gen.37.34

Then Jacob tore his clothes, put on sackcloth and mourned for his son many days.

Gen.37.34

Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days.

Gen.37.34

Then Jacob tore his clothes and put on sackcloth. He mourned deeply for his son for many days.

Gen.37.35

His sons and daughters tried to comfort him but he refused their comfort. "I'll go to the grave mourning my son." Oh, how his father wept for him.

Gen.37.35

All his sons and daughters came to comfort him, but he refused to be comforted. "No," he said, "in mourning will I go down to the grave to my son." So his father wept for him.

Gen.37.35

And all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted, and he said, "For I shall go down into the grave to my son in mourning." Thus his father wept for him.

Gen.37.35

His family all tried to comfort him, but it was no use. "I will die in mourning for my son," he would say, and then begin to weep.

Gen.37.36

In Egypt the Midianites sold Joseph to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh's officials, manager of his household affairs. [JC]

Gen.37.36

Meanwhile, the Midianites sold Joseph in Egypt to Potiphar, one of Pharaoh's officials, the captain of the guard.

Gen.37.36

Now the Midianites had sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.

Gen.37.36

Meanwhile, in Egypt, the traders sold Joseph to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, the king of Egypt. Potiphar was captain of the palace guard.

Matt.13.18

"Study this story of the farmer planting seed.

Matt.13.18

"Listen then to what the parable of the sower means:

Matt.13.18

"Therefore hear the parable of the sower:

Matt.13.18

"Now here is the explanation of the story I told about the farmer sowing grain:

Matt.13.19

When anyone hears news of the kingdom and doesn't take it in, it just remains on the surface, and so the Evil One comes along and plucks it right out of that person's heart. This is the seed the farmer scatters on the road.

Matt.13.19

When anyone hears the message about the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is the seed sown along the path.

Matt.13.19

When anyone hears the word of the kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart. This is he who received seed by the wayside.

Matt.13.19

The seed that fell on the hard path represents those who hear the Good News about the Kingdom and don't understand it. Then the evil one comes and snatches the seed away from their hearts.

Matt.13.20

"The seed cast in the gravel--this is the person who hears and instantly responds with enthusiasm.

Matt.13.20

The one who received the seed that fell on rocky places is the man who hears the word and at once receives it with joy.

Matt.13.20

But he who received the seed on stony places, this is he who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy;

Matt.13.20

The rocky soil represents those who hear the message and receive it with joy.

Matt.13.21

But there is no soil of character, and so when the emotions wear off and some difficulty arrives, there is nothing to show for it.

Matt.13.21

But since he has no root, he lasts only a short time. When trouble or persecution comes because of the word, he quickly falls away.

Matt.13.21

yet he has no root in himself, but endures only for a while. For when tribulation or persecution arises because of the word, immediately he stumbles.

Matt.13.21

But like young plants in such soil, their roots don't go very deep. At first they get along fine, but they wilt as soon as they have problems or are persecuted because they believe the word.

Matt.13.22

"The seed cast in the weeds is the person who hears the kingdom news, but weeds of worry and illusions about getting more and wanting everything under the sun strangle what was heard, and nothing comes of it.

Matt.13.22

The one who received the seed that fell among the thorns is the man who hears the word, but the worries of this life and the deceitfulness of wealth choke it, making it unfruitful.

Matt.13.22

Now he who received seed among the thorns is he who hears the word, and the cares of this world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and he becomes unfruitful.

Matt.13.22

The thorny ground represents those who hear and accept the Good News, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares of this life and the lure of wealth, so no crop is produced.

Matt.13.23

"The seed cast on good earth is the person who hears and takes in the News, and then produces a harvest beyond his wildest dreams." [JC]

Matt.13.23

But the one who received the seed that fell on good soil is the man who hears the word and understands it. He produces a crop, yielding a hundred, sixty or thirty times what was sown."

Matt.13.23

But he who received seed on the good ground is he who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and produces: some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty."

Matt.13.23

The good soil represents the hearts of those who truly accept God's message and produce a huge harvest--thirty, sixty, or even a hundred times as much as had been planted."

Matt.13.24

He told another story. "God's kingdom is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field.

Matt.13.24

Jesus told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field.

Matt.13.24

Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field;

Matt.13.24

Here is another story Jesus told: "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a farmer who planted good seed in his field.

Matt.13.25

That night, while his hired men were asleep, his enemy sowed thistles all through the wheat and slipped away before dawn.

Matt.13.25

But while everyone was sleeping, his enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and went away.

Matt.13.25

but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way.

Matt.13.25

But that night as everyone slept, his enemy came and planted weeds among the wheat.

Matt.13.26

When the first green shoots appeared and the grain began to form, the thistles showed up, too.

Matt.13.26

When the wheat sprouted and formed heads, then the weeds also appeared.

Matt.13.26

But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.

Matt.13.26

When the crop began to grow and produce grain, the weeds also grew.

Matt.13.27

"The farmhands came to the farmer and said, "Master, that was clean seed you planted, wasn't it? Where did these thistles come from?'

Matt.13.27

"The owner's servants came to him and said, 'Sir, didn't you sow good seed in your field? Where then did the weeds come from?'

Matt.13.27

So the servants of the owner came and said to him, "Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?'

Matt.13.27

The farmer's servants came and told him, 'Sir, the field where you planted that good seed is full of weeds!'

Matt.13.28

"He answered, "Some enemy did this.'"The farmhands asked, "Should we weed out the thistles?'

Matt.13.28

"'An enemy did this,' he replied. "The servants asked him, 'Do you want us to go and pull them up?'

Matt.13.28

He said to them, "An enemy has done this.' The servants said to him, "Do you want us then to go and gather them up?'

Matt.13.28

"'An enemy has done it!' the farmer exclaimed. "'Shall we pull out the weeds?' they asked.

Matt.13.29

"He said, "No, if you weed the thistles, you'll pull up the wheat, too.

Matt.13.29

"'No,' he answered, 'because while you are pulling the weeds, you may root up the wheat with them.

Matt.13.29

But he said, "No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.

Matt.13.29

"He replied, 'No, you'll hurt the wheat if you do.

Matt.13.30

Let them grow together until harvest time. Then I'll instruct the harvesters to pull up the thistles and tie them in bundles for the fire, then gather the wheat and put it in the barn.'"

Matt.13.30

Let both grow together until the harvest. At that time I will tell the harvesters: First collect the weeds and tie them in bundles to be burned; then gather the wheat and bring it into my barn.'"

Matt.13.30

Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, "First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.""'

Matt.13.30

Let both grow together until the harvest. Then I will tell the harvesters to sort out the weeds and burn them and to put the wheat in the barn.'"

Matt.13.31

Another story. "God's kingdom is like a pine nut that a farmer plants.

Matt.13.31

He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and planted in his field.

Matt.13.31

Another parable He put forth to them, saying: "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed, which a man took and sowed in his field,

Matt.13.31

Here is another illustration Jesus used: "The Kingdom of Heaven is like a mustard seed planted in a field.

Matt.13.32

It is quite small as seeds go, but in the course of years it grows into a huge pine tree, and eagles build nests in it."

Matt.13.32

Though it is the smallest of all your seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and perch in its branches."

Matt.13.32

which indeed is the least of all the seeds; but when it is grown it is greater than the herbs and becomes a tree, so that the birds of the air come and nest in its branches."

Matt.13.32

It is the smallest of all seeds, but it becomes the largest of garden plants and grows into a tree where birds can come and find shelter in its branches."

Matt.13.33

Another story. "God's kingdom is like yeast that a woman works into the dough for dozens of loaves of barley bread--and waits while the dough rises."

Matt.13.33

He told them still another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed into a large amount of flour until it worked all through the dough."

Matt.13.33

Another parable He spoke to them: "The kingdom of heaven is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal till it was all leavened."

Matt.13.33

Jesus also used this illustration: "The Kingdom of Heaven is like yeast used by a woman making bread. Even though she used a large amount of flour, the yeast permeated every part of the dough."

Matt.13.34

All Jesus did that day was tell stories--a long storytelling afternoon.

Matt.13.34

Jesus spoke all these things to the crowd in parables; he did not say anything to them without using a parable.

Matt.13.34

All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them,

Matt.13.34

Jesus always used stories and illustrations like these when speaking to the crowds. In fact, he never spoke to them without using such parables.

Matt.13.35

His storytelling fulfilled the prophecy: I will open my mouth and tell stories; I will bring out into the open things hidden since the world's first day.

Matt.13.35

So was fulfilled what was spoken through the prophet: "I will open my mouth in parables, I will utter things hidden since the creation of the world."

Matt.13.35

that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying: "I will open My mouth in parables; I will utter things kept secret from the foundation of the world."

Matt.13.35

This fulfilled the prophecy that said, "I will speak to you in parables. I will explain mysteries hidden since the creation of the world."

Ps.10.12

Time to get up, GOD-get moving. The luckless think they're Godforsaken.

Ps.10.12

Arise, LORD! Lift up your hand, O God. Do not forget the helpless.

Ps.10.12

Arise, O LORD! O God, lift up Your hand! Do not forget the humble.

Ps.10.12

Arise, O LORD! Punish the wicked, O God! Do not forget the helpless!

Ps.10.13

They wonder why the wicked scorn God and get away with it, Why the wicked are so cocksure they'll never come up for audit.

Ps.10.13

Why does the wicked man revile God? Why does he say to himself, "He won't call me to account"?

Ps.10.13

Why do the wicked renounce God? He has said in his heart, "You will not require an account."

Ps.10.13

Why do the wicked get away with cursing God? How can they think, "God will never call us to account"?

Ps.10.14

But you know all about it--the contempt, the abuse. I dare to believe that the luckless will get lucky someday in you. You won't let them down: orphans won't be orphans forever.

Ps.10.14

But you, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits himself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless.

Ps.10.14

But You have seen, for You observe trouble and grief, To repay it by Your hand. The helpless commits himself to You; You are the helper of the fatherless.

Ps.10.14

But you do see the trouble and grief they cause. You take note of it and punish them. The helpless put their trust in you. You are the defender of orphans.

Ps.10.15

Break the wicked right arms, break all the evil left arms. Search and destroy every sign of crime.

Ps.10.15

Break the arm of the wicked and evil man; call him to account for his wickedness that would not be found out.

Ps.10.15

Break the arm of the wicked and the evil man; Seek out his wickedness until You find none.

Ps.10.15

Break the arms of these wicked, evil people! Go after them until the last one is destroyed!

Ps.10.16

GOD's grace and order wins; godlessness loses.

Ps.10.16

The LORD is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land.

Ps.10.16

The LORD is King forever and ever; The nations have perished out of His land.

Ps.10.16

The LORD is king forever and ever! Let those who worship other gods be swept from the land.

Ps.10.17

The victim's faint pulse picks up; the hearts of the hopeless pump red blood as you put your ear to their lips.

Ps.10.17

You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry,

Ps.10.17

LORD, You have heard the desire of the humble; You will prepare their heart; You will cause Your ear to hear,

Ps.10.17

LORD, you know the hopes of the helpless. Surely you will listen to their cries and comfort them.

Ps.10.18

Orphans get parents, the homeless get homes. The reign of terror is over, the rule of the gang lords is ended.

Ps.10.18

defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more.

Ps.10.18

To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, That the man of the earth may oppress no more.

Ps.10.18

You will bring justice to the orphans and the oppressed, so people can no longer terrify them.
