Judg.2.6

[JC] After Joshua had dismissed them, the People of Israel went off to claim their allotted territories and take possession of the land.

Judg.2.6

After Joshua had dismissed the Israelites, they went to take possession of the land, each to his own inheritance.

Judg.2.6

And when Joshua had dismissed the people, the children of Israel went each to his own inheritance to possess the land.

Judg.2.6

After Joshua sent the people away, each of the tribes left to take possession of the land allotted to them.

Judg.2.7

The people worshiped GOD throughout the lifetime of Joshua and the time of the leaders who survived him, leaders who had been in on all of GOD's great work that he had done for Israel.

Judg.2.7

The people served the LORD throughout the lifetime of Joshua and of the elders who outlived him and who had seen all the great things the LORD had done for Israel.

Judg.2.7

So the people served the LORD all the days of Joshua, and all the days of the elders who outlived Joshua, who had seen all the great works of the LORD which He had done for Israel.

Judg.2.7

And the Israelites served the LORD throughout the lifetime of Joshua and the leaders who outlived him--those who had seen all the great things the LORD had done for Israel.

Judg.2.8

Then Joshua son of Nun, the servant of GOD, died. He was 110 years old.

Judg.2.8

Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of a hundred and ten.

Judg.2.8

Now Joshua the son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died when he was one hundred and ten years old.

Judg.2.8

Then Joshua son of Nun, the servant of the LORD, died at the age of 110.

Judg.2.9

They buried him in his allotted inheritance at Timnath Heres in the hills of Ephraim north of Mount Gaash.

Judg.2.9

And they buried him in the land of his inheritance, at Timnath Heres in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.

Judg.2.9

And they buried him within the border of his inheritance at Timnath Heres, in the mountains of Ephraim, on the north side of Mount Gaash.

Judg.2.9

They buried him in the land he had inherited, at Timnath-serah in the hill country of Ephraim, north of Mount Gaash.

Judg.2.10

Eventually that entire generation died and was buried. Then another generation grew up that didn't know anything of GOD or the work he had done for Israel. [JC]

Judg.2.10

After that whole generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation grew up, who knew neither the LORD nor what he had done for Israel.

Judg.2.10

When all that generation had been gathered to their fathers, another generation arose after them who did not know the LORD nor the work which He had done for Israel.

Judg.2.10

After that generation died, another generation grew up who did not acknowledge the LORD or remember the mighty things he had done for Israel.

Judg.2.11

The People of Israel did evil in GOD's sight:

Judg.2.11

Then the Israelites did evil in the eyes of the LORD and served the Baals.

Judg.2.11

Then the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, and served the Baals;

Judg.2.11

Then the Israelites did what was evil in the LORD's sight and worshiped the images of Baal.

Judg.2.12

they served Baal-gods; they deserted GOD, the God of their parents who had led them out of Egypt; they took up with other gods, gods of the peoples around them. They actually worshiped them! And oh, how they angered GOD

Judg.2.12

They forsook the LORD, the God of their fathers, who had brought them out of Egypt. They followed and worshiped various gods of the peoples around them. They provoked the LORD to anger

Judg.2.12

and they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, who had brought them out of the land of Egypt; and they followed other gods from among the gods of the people who were all around them, and they bowed down to them; and they provoked the LORD to anger.

Judg.2.12

They abandoned the LORD, the God of their ancestors, who had brought them out of Egypt. They chased after other gods, worshiping the gods of the people around them. And they angered the LORD.

Judg.2.13

as they worshiped god Baal and goddess Astarte!

Judg.2.13

because they forsook him and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.

Judg.2.13

They forsook the LORD and served Baal and the Ashtoreths.

Judg.2.13

They abandoned the LORD to serve Baal and the images of Ashtoreth.

Judg.2.14

GOD's anger was hot against Israel: He handed them off to plunderers who stripped them; he sold them cheap to enemies on all sides. They were helpless before their enemies.

Judg.2.14

In his anger against Israel the LORD handed them over to raiders who plundered them. He sold them to their enemies all around, whom they were no longer able to resist.

Judg.2.14

And the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel. So He delivered them into the hands of plunderers who despoiled them; and He sold them into the hands of their enemies all around, so that they could no longer stand before their enemies.

Judg.2.14

This made the LORD burn with anger against Israel, so he handed them over to marauders who stole their possessions. He sold them to their enemies all around, and they were no longer able to resist them.

Judg.2.15

Every time they walked out the door GOD was with them--but for evil, just as GOD had said, just as he had sworn he would do. They were in a bad way.

Judg.2.15

Whenever Israel went out to fight, the hand of the LORD was against them to defeat them, just as he had sworn to them. They were in great distress.

Judg.2.15

Wherever they went out, the hand of the LORD was against them for calamity, as the LORD had said, and as the LORD had sworn to them. And they were greatly distressed.

Judg.2.15

Every time Israel went out to battle, the LORD fought against them, bringing them defeat, just as he promised. And the people were very distressed.

Judg.2.16

But then GOD raised up judges who saved them from their plunderers.

Judg.2.16

Then the LORD raised up judges, who saved them out of the hands of these raiders.

Judg.2.16

Nevertheless, the LORD raised up judges who delivered them out of the hand of those who plundered them.

Judg.2.16

Then the LORD raised up judges to rescue the Israelites from their enemies.

Judg.2.17

But they wouldn't listen to their judges; they prostituted themselves to other gods--worshiped them! They lost no time leaving the road walked by their parents, the road of obedience to GOD's commands. They refused to have anything to do with it.

Judg.2.17

Yet they would not listen to their judges but prostituted themselves to other gods and worshiped them. Unlike their fathers, they quickly turned from the way in which their fathers had walked, the way of obedience to the LORD 's commands.

Judg.2.17

Yet they would not listen to their judges, but they played the harlot with other gods, and bowed down to them. They turned quickly from the way in which their fathers walked, in obeying the commandments of the LORD; they did not do so.

Judg.2.17

Yet Israel did not listen to the judges but prostituted themselves to other gods, bowing down to them. How quickly they turned away from the path of their ancestors, who had walked in obedience to the LORD's commands.

Judg.2.18

When GOD was setting up judges for them, he would be right there with the judge: He would save them from their enemies' oppression as long as the judge was alive, for GOD was moved to compassion when he heard their groaning because of those who afflicted and beat them.

Judg.2.18

Whenever the LORD raised up a judge for them, he was with the judge and saved them out of the hands of their enemies as long as the judge lived; for the LORD had compassion on them as they groaned under those who oppressed and afflicted them.

Judg.2.18

And when the LORD raised up judges for them, the LORD was with the judge and delivered them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of the judge; for the LORD was moved to pity by their groaning because of those who oppressed them and harassed them.

Judg.2.18

Whenever the LORD placed a judge over Israel, he was with that judge and rescued the people from their enemies throughout the judge's lifetime. For the LORD took pity on his people, who were burdened by oppression and suffering.

Judg.2.19

But when the judge died, the people went right back to their old ways--but even worse than their parents!-running after other gods, serving and worshiping them. Stubborn as mules, they didn't drop a single evil practice.

Judg.2.19

But when the judge died, the people returned to ways even more corrupt than those of their fathers, following other gods and serving and worshiping them. They refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn ways.

Judg.2.19

And it came to pass, when the judge was dead, that they reverted and behaved more corruptly than their fathers, by following other gods, to serve them and bow down to them. They did not cease from their own doings nor from their stubborn way.

Judg.2.19

But when the judge died, the people returned to their corrupt ways, behaving worse than those who had lived before them. They followed other gods, worshiping and bowing down to them. And they refused to give up their evil practices and stubborn ways.

Judg.2.20

And GOD's anger blazed against Israel. He said, "Because these people have thrown out my covenant that I commanded their parents and haven't listened to me,

Judg.2.20

Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel and said, "Because this nation has violated the covenant that I laid down for their forefathers and has not listened to me,

Judg.2.20

Then the anger of the LORD was hot against Israel; and He said, "Because this nation has transgressed My covenant which I commanded their fathers, and has not heeded My voice,

Judg.2.20

So the LORD burned with anger against Israel. He said, "Because these people have violated the covenant I made with their ancestors and have ignored my commands,

Judg.2.21

I'm not driving out one more person from the nations that Joshua left behind when he died.

Judg.2.21

I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations Joshua left when he died.

Judg.2.21

I also will no longer drive out before them any of the nations which Joshua left when he died,

Judg.2.21

I will no longer drive out the nations that Joshua left unconquered when he died.

Judg.2.22

I'll use them to test Israel and see whether they stay on GOD's road and walk down it as their parents did."

Judg.2.22

I will use them to test Israel and see whether they will keep the way of the LORD and walk in it as their forefathers did."

Judg.2.22

so that through them I may test Israel, whether they will keep the ways of the LORD, to walk in them as their fathers kept them, or not."

Judg.2.22

I did this to test Israel--to see whether or not they would obey the LORD as their ancestors did."

Judg.2.23

That's why GOD let those nations remain. He didn't drive them out or let Joshua get rid of them.

Judg.2.23

The LORD had allowed those nations to remain; he did not drive them out at once by giving them into the hands of Joshua.

Judg.2.23

Therefore the LORD left those nations, without driving them out immediately; nor did He deliver them into the hand of Joshua.

Judg.2.23

That is why the LORD did not quickly drive the nations out or allow Joshua to conquer them all.

John.4.27

Just then his disciples came back. They were shocked. They couldn't believe he was talking with that kind of a woman. No one said what they were all thinking, but their faces showed it.

John.4.27

Just then his disciples returned and were surprised to find him talking with a woman. But no one asked, "What do you want?" or "Why are you talking with her?"

John.4.27

And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why are You talking with her?"

John.4.27

Just then his disciples arrived. They were astonished to find him talking to a woman, but none of them asked him why he was doing it or what they had been discussing.

John.4.28

The woman took the hint and left. In her confusion she left her water pot. Back in the village she told the people,

John.4.28

Then, leaving her water jar, the woman went back to the town and said to the people,

John.4.28

The woman then left her waterpot, went her way into the city, and said to the men,

John.4.28

The woman left her water jar beside the well and went back to the village and told everyone,

John.4.29

"Come see a man who knew all about the things I did, who knows me inside and out. Do you think this could be the Messiah?"

John.4.29

"Come, see a man who told me everything I ever did. Could this be the Christ?"

John.4.29

"Come, see a Man who told me all things that I ever did. Could this be the Christ?"

John.4.29

"Come and meet a man who told me everything I ever did! Can this be the Messiah?"

John.4.30

And they went out to see for themselves.

John.4.30

They came out of the town and made their way toward him.

John.4.30

Then they went out of the city and came to Him.

John.4.30

So the people came streaming from the village to see him.

John.4.31

In the meantime, the disciples pressed him, "Rabbi, eat. Aren't you going to eat?"

John.4.31

Meanwhile his disciples urged him, "Rabbi, eat something."

John.4.31

In the meantime His disciples urged Him, saying, "Rabbi, eat."

John.4.31

Meanwhile, the disciples were urging Jesus to eat.

John.4.32

He told them, "I have food to eat you know nothing about."

John.4.32

But he said to them, "I have food to eat that you know nothing about."

John.4.32

But He said to them, "I have food to eat of which you do not know."

John.4.32

"No," he said, "I have food you don't know about."

John.4.33

The disciples were puzzled. "Who could have brought him food?"

John.4.33

Then his disciples said to each other, "Could someone have brought him food?"

John.4.33

Therefore the disciples said to one another, "Has anyone brought Him anything to eat?"

John.4.33

"Who brought it to him?" the disciples asked each other.

John.4.34

Jesus said, "The food that keeps me going is that I do the will of the One who sent me, finishing the work he started.

John.4.34

"My food," said Jesus, "is to do the will of him who sent me and to finish his work.

John.4.34

Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me, and to finish His work.

John.4.34

Then Jesus explained: "My nourishment comes from doing the will of God, who sent me, and from finishing his work.

John.4.35

As you look around right now, wouldn't you say that in about four months it will be time to harvest? Well, I'm telling you to open your eyes and take a good look at what's right in front of you. These Samaritan fields are ripe. It's harvest time!

John.4.35

Do you not say, 'Four months more and then the harvest'? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest.

John.4.35

Do you not say, "There are still four months and then comes the harvest'? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!

John.4.35

Do you think the work of harvesting will not begin until the summer ends four months from now? Look around you! Vast fields are ripening all around us and are ready now for the harvest.

John.4.36

"The Harvester isn't waiting. He's taking his pay, gathering in this grain that's ripe for eternal life. Now the Sower is arm in arm with the Harvester, triumphant.

John.4.36

Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together.

John.4.36

And he who reaps receives wages, and gathers fruit for eternal life, that both he who sows and he who reaps may rejoice together.

John.4.36

The harvesters are paid good wages, and the fruit they harvest is people brought to eternal life. What joy awaits both the planter and the harvester alike!

John.4.37

That's the truth of the saying, "This one sows, that one harvests.'

John.4.37

Thus the saying 'One sows and another reaps' is true.

John.4.37

For in this the saying is true: "One sows and another reaps.'

John.4.37

You know the saying, 'One person plants and someone else harvests.' And it's true.

John.4.38

I sent you to harvest a field you never worked. Without lifting a finger, you have walked in on a field worked long and hard by others."

John.4.38

I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor."

John.4.38

I sent you to reap that for which you have not labored; others have labored, and you have entered into their labors."

John.4.38

I sent you to harvest where you didn't plant; others had already done the work, and you will gather the harvest."

John.4.39

Many of the Samaritans from that village committed themselves to him because of the woman's witness: "He knew all about the things I did. He knows me inside and out!"

John.4.39

Many of the Samaritans from that town believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me everything I ever did."

John.4.39

And many of the Samaritans of that city believed in Him because of the word of the woman who testified, "He told me all that I ever did."

John.4.39

Many Samaritans from the village believed in Jesus because the woman had said, "He told me everything I ever did!"

John.4.40

They asked him to stay on, so Jesus stayed two days.

John.4.40

So when the Samaritans came to him, they urged him to stay with them, and he stayed two days.

John.4.40

So when the Samaritans had come to Him, they urged Him to stay with them; and He stayed there two days.

John.4.40

When they came out to see him, they begged him to stay at their village. So he stayed for two days,

John.4.41

A lot more people entrusted their lives to him when they heard what he had to say.

John.4.41

And because of his words many more became believers.

John.4.41

And many more believed because of His own word.

John.4.41

long enough for many of them to hear his message and believe.

John.4.42

They said to the woman, "We're no longer taking this on your say-so. We've heard it for ourselves and know it for sure. He's the Savior of the world!" [JC]

John.4.42

They said to the woman, "We no longer believe just because of what you said; now we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this man really is the Savior of the world."

John.4.42

Then they said to the woman, "Now we believe, not because of what you said, for we ourselves have heard Him and we know that this is indeed the Christ, the Savior of the world."

John.4.42

Then they said to the woman, "Now we believe because we have heard him ourselves, not just because of what you told us. He is indeed the Savior of the world."

On no account let them escape; in your anger, O God, bring down the nations.
