  • Isa 48:1-2 : 1 Hear{H8085}{(H8798)} ye this, O house{H1004} of Jacob{H3290}, which are called{H7121}{(H8737)} by the name{H8034} of Israel{H3478}, and are come forth{H3318}{(H8804)} out of the waters{H4325} of Judah{H3063}, which swear{H7650}{(H8737)} by the name{H8034} of the LORD{H3068}, and make mention{H2142}{(H8686)} of the God{H430} of Israel{H3478}, but not in truth{H571}, nor in righteousness{H6666}. 2 For they call{H7121}{(H8738)} themselves of the holy{H6944} city{H5892}, and stay{H5564}{(H8738)} themselves upon the God{H430} of Israel{H3478}; The LORD{H3068} of hosts{H6635} is his name{H8034}.
  • Jer 7:4-9 : 4 Trust{H982}{(H8799)} ye not in lying{H8267} words{H1697}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, The temple{H1964} of the LORD{H3068}, The temple{H1964} of the LORD{H3068}, The temple{H1964} of the LORD{H3068}, are these. 5 For if ye throughly{H3190}{(H8687)} amend{H3190}{(H8686)} your ways{H1870} and your doings{H4611}; if ye throughly{H6213}{(H8800)} execute{H6213}{(H8799)} judgment{H4941} between a man{H376} and his neighbour{H7453}; 6 If ye oppress{H6231}{(H8799)} not the stranger{H1616}, the fatherless{H3490}, and the widow{H490}, and shed{H8210}{(H8799)} not innocent{H5355} blood{H1818} in this place{H4725}, neither walk{H3212}{(H8799)} after{H310} other{H312} gods{H430} to your hurt{H7451}: 7 Then will I cause you to dwell{H7931}{(H8765)} in this place{H4725}, in the land{H776} that I gave{H5414}{(H8804)} to your fathers{H1}, for{H5704} ever{H5769} and ever{H5769}. 8 Behold, ye trust{H982}{(H8802)} in lying{H8267} words{H1697}, that cannot profit{H3276}{(H8687)}. 9 Will ye steal{H1589}{(H8800)}, murder{H7523}{(H8800)}, and commit adultery{H5003}{(H8800)}, and swear{H7650}{(H8736)} falsely{H8267}, and burn incense{H6999}{(H8763)} unto Baal{H1168}, and walk{H1980}{(H8800)} after{H310} other{H312} gods{H430} whom ye know{H3045}{(H8804)} not; 10 And come{H935}{(H8804)} and stand{H5975}{(H8804)} before{H6440} me in this house{H1004}, which is called{H7121}{(H8738)} by my name{H8034}, and say{H559}{(H8804)}, We are delivered{H5337}{(H8738)} to do{H6213}{(H8800)} all these abominations{H8441}?
  • Josh 4:3-8 : 3 And command{H6680}{(H8761)} ye them, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, Take{H5375}{(H8798)} you hence out of the midst{H8432} of Jordan{H3383}, out of the place where the priests{H3548}' feet{H7272} stood{H4673} firm{H3559}{(H8687)}, twelve{H8147}{H6240} stones{H68}, and ye shall carry them over{H5674}{(H8689)} with you, and leave{H3240}{(H8689)} them in the lodging place{H4411}, where ye shall lodge{H3885}{(H8799)} this night{H3915}. 4 Then Joshua{H3091} called{H7121}{(H8799)} the twelve{H8147}{H6240} men{H376}, whom he had prepared{H3559}{(H8689)} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, out of every{H259} tribe{H7626} a man{H376}: 5 And Joshua{H3091} said{H559}{(H8799)} unto them, Pass over{H5674}{(H8798)} before{H6440} the ark{H727} of the LORD{H3068} your God{H430} into the midst{H8432} of Jordan{H3383}, and take ye up{H7311}{(H8685)} every{H259} man{H376} of you a stone{H68} upon his shoulder{H7926}, according unto the number{H4557} of the tribes{H7626} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}: 6 That this may be a sign{H226} among{H7130} you, that when your children{H1121} ask{H7592}{(H8799)} their fathers in time to come{H4279}, saying{H559}{(H8800)}, What mean ye by these stones{H68}? 7 Then ye shall answer{H559}{(H8804)} them, That the waters{H4325} of Jordan{H3383} were cut off{H3772}{(H8738)} before{H6440} the ark{H727} of the covenant{H1285} of the LORD{H3068}; when it passed over{H5674}{(H8800)} Jordan{H3383}, the waters{H4325} of Jordan{H3383} were cut off{H3772}{(H8738)}: and these stones{H68} shall be for a memorial{H2146} unto the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} for{H5704} ever{H5769}. 8 And the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478} did{H6213}{(H8799)} so as Joshua{H3091} commanded{H6680}{(H8765)}, and took up{H5375}{(H8799)} twelve{H8147}{H6240} stones{H68} out of the midst{H8432} of Jordan{H3383}, as the LORD{H3068} spake{H1696}{(H8765)} unto Joshua{H3091}, according to the number{H4557} of the tribes{H7626} of the children{H1121} of Israel{H3478}, and carried them over{H5674}{(H8686)} with them unto the place where they lodged{H4411}, and laid them down{H3240}{(H8686)} there.
