The fear H367 of a king H4428 is as the roaring H5099 of a lion: H3715 whoever provokes H5674 him to anger H5674 sins H2398 against his own soul. H5315

Ephraim H669 is oppressed H6231 and broken H7533 in judgment, H4941 because H3588 he willingly H2974 walked H1980 after H310 the commandment. H6673

Be sober, G3525 be vigilant; G1127 because G3754 your G5216 adversary G476 the devil, G1228 as a roaring G5612 lion, G3023 walks G4043 about, G4043 seeking G2212 whom G5101 he may devour: G2666

Let a bear H1677 robbed H7909 of her whelps meet H6298 a man, H376 rather H408 than a fool H3684 in his folly. H200

And he turned H6437 back, H310 and looked H7200 on them, and cursed H7043 them in the name H8034 of the LORD. H3068 And there came H3318 forth H3318 two H8147 she bears H1677 out of the wood, H3293 and tare H1234 forty H705 and two H8147 children H3206 of them.

I will meet H6298 them as a bear H1677 that is bereaved H7909 of her whelps, and will rend H7167 the lobe H5458 of their heart, H3820 and there H8033 will I devour H398 them like a lion: H3833 the wild H7704 beast H2416 shall tear H1234 them.

And they made their lives H2416 bitter H4843 with hard H7186 bondage, H5656 in mortar, H2563 and in brick, H3843 and in all H3605 manner of service H5656 in the field: H7704 all H3605 their service, H5656 wherein H834 they made them serve, H5647 was with rigor. H6531

And he said, H559 When you do the office of a midwife H3205 to the Hebrew H5680 women, and see H7200 them on the stools; H70 if it be a son, H1121 then you shall kill H4191 him: but if H518 it be a daughter, H1323 then she shall live. H2425

And the king H4428 said H559 to the footmen H7323 that stood H5324 about H5921 him, Turn, H5437 and slay H4191 the priests H3548 of the LORD: H3068 because H3588 their hand H3027 also H1571 is with David, H1732 and because H3588 they knew H3045 when H3588 he fled, H1272 and did not show H1540 it to me. But the servants H5650 of the king H4428 would H14 not put H7971 forth H7971 their hand H3027 to fall H6293 on the priests H3548 of the LORD. H3068

And Nob, H5011 the city H5892 of the priests, H3548 smote H5221 he with the edge H6310 of the sword, H2719 both men H376 and women, H802 children H5768 and sucklings, H3243 and oxen, H7794 and asses, H2543 and sheep, H7716 with the edge H6310 of the sword. H2719

Then H227 Menahem H4505 smote H5221 Tiphsah, H8607 and all H3605 that were therein, and the coasts H1366 thereof from Tirzah: H8656 because H3588 they opened H6605 not to him, therefore he smote H5221 it; and all H3605 the women therein that were with child H2030 he ripped H1234 up.

Moreover H1571 Manasseh H4519 shed H8210 innocent H5355 blood H1818 very H3966 much, H7235 till H5704 he had filled H4390 Jerusalem H3389 from one end H6310 to another; beside H905 his sin H2403 with which H834 he made Judah H3063 to sin, H2398 in doing H6213 that which was evil H7451 in the sight H5869 of the LORD. H3068

And he thought H5869 scorn H959 to lay H7971 hands H3027 on Mordecai H4782 alone; H905 for they had showed H5046 him the people H5971 of Mordecai: H4782 why Haman H2001 sought H1245 to destroy H8045 all H3605 the Jews H3064 that were throughout the whole H3605 kingdom H4438 of Ahasuerus, H325 even the people H5971 of Mordecai. H4782

And Haman H2001 said H559 to king H4428 Ahasuerus, H325 There is a certain H259 people H5971 scattered H6340 abroad H6340 and dispersed H6504 among H996 the people H5971 in all H3605 the provinces H4082 of your kingdom; H4438 and their laws H1881 are diverse H8138 from all H3605 people; H5971 neither H369 keep H6213 they the king's H4428 laws: H1881 therefore it is not for the king's H4428 profit H7737 to suffer H3240 them.

And the king H4428 took H5493 his ring H2885 from his hand, H3027 and gave H5414 it to Haman H2001 the son H1121 of Hammedatha H4099 the Agagite, H91 the Jews' H3064 enemy. H6887

Then G5119 Herod, G2264 when he saw G1492 that he was mocked G1702 of the wise G3097 men, was exceeding G3029 wroth, G2373 and sent G649 forth, G649 and slew G337 all G3956 the children G3816 that were in Bethlehem, G965 and in all G3956 the coasts G3725 thereof, G846 from two G1332 years G1332 old G1332 and under, G2736 according G2596 to the time G5550 which G3739 he had diligently inquired G198 of the wise G3097 men.
