Never

Remember that my life is but a breath. My eyes will never again see happiness.

He never returns to his house; his place remembers him no more.

Will You never look away from me, or leave me alone to swallow my spittle?

If he is uprooted from his place, it will disown him, saying, ‘I never saw you.’

If only I had never come to be, but had been carried from the womb to the grave.

…before I go—never to return—to a land of darkness and gloom,

O earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry for help never be laid to rest.

Why do you persecute me as God does? Will you never get enough of my flesh?

He will fly away like a dream, never to be found; he will be chased away like a vision in the night.

Because his appetite is never satisfied, he cannot escape with his treasure.

Yet another man dies in the bitterness of his soul, having never tasted prosperity.

Have you never asked those who travel the roads? Do you not accept their reports?

“Why does the Almighty not reserve times for judgment? Why may those who know Him never see His days?

In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves in, never to experience the light.

I will never say that you are right; I will maintain my integrity until I die.

I will cling to my righteousness and never let go. As long as I live, my conscience will not accuse me.

Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword; and his offspring will never have enough food.

Proud beasts have never trodden it; no lion has ever prowled over it.

Night pierces my bones, and my gnawing pains never rest.

He scorns the tumult of the city and never hears the shouts of a driver.

If you lay a hand on him, you will remember the battle and never repeat it!

He says to himself, “God has forgotten; He hides His face and never sees.”

Why has the wicked man renounced God? He says to himself, “You will never call me to account.”

Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon the LORD.

…who lends his money without interest and refuses a bribe against the innocent. He who does these things will never be shaken.

Since they show no regard for the works of the LORD or what His hands have done, He will tear them down and never rebuild them.

In prosperity I said, “I will never be shaken.”

For the choirmaster. A Psalm of David. In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame; save me by Your righteousness.

Those who look to Him are radiant with joy; their faces shall never be ashamed.

I once was young and now am old, yet never have I seen the righteous abandoned or their children begging for bread.

“A vile disease has been poured into him; he will never get up from where he lies!”

For the redemption of his soul is costly, and never can payment suffice,

…he will join the generation of his fathers, who will never see the light of day.

Will the workers of iniquity never learn? They devour my people like bread; they refuse to call upon God.

Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets.

Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.

Like a slug that dissolves in its slime, like a woman’s stillborn child, may they never see the sun.

He alone is my rock and my salvation. He is my fortress; I will never be shaken.

In You, O LORD, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame.

“Will the Lord spurn us forever and never show His favor again?

What man can live and never see death? Can he deliver his soul from the power of Sheol? Selah

For the LORD will not forsake His people; He will never abandon His heritage.

So I swore on oath in My anger, “They shall never enter My rest.”

But You remain the same, and Your years will never end.

He set the earth on its foundations, never to be moved.

You set a boundary they cannot cross, that they may never again cover the earth.

May the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD, and the sin of his mother never be blotted out.

For he never thought to show kindness, but pursued the poor and needy and brokenhearted, even to their death.

Surely he will never be shaken; the righteous man will be remembered forever.

Never take Your word of truth from my mouth, for I hope in Your judgments.

I will never forget Your precepts, for by them You have revived me.

May burning coals fall on them; may they be thrown into the fire, into the miry pits, never to rise again.

He established them forever and ever; He issued a decree that will never pass away.

Never let loving devotion or faithfulness leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.

Let them be yours alone, never to be shared with strangers.

Wounds and dishonor will befall him, and his reproach will never be wiped away.

The righteous will never be shaken, but the wicked will not inhabit the land.

If anyone returns evil for good, evil will never leave his house.

He who loves pleasure will become poor; the one who loves wine and oil will never be rich.

Invest in truth and never sell it—in wisdom and instruction and understanding.

Know therefore that wisdom is sweet to your soul. If you find it, there is a future for you, and your hope will never be cut off.

…lest he who hears you bring shame upon you, and your infamy never go away.

Like clouds and wind without rain is the man who boasts of gifts never given.

Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

Sheol and Abaddon are never satisfied; so the eyes of man are never satisfied.

The leech has two daughters: Give and Give. There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, ‘Enough!’:

The leech has two daughters: Give and Give. There are three things that are never satisfied, four that never say, ‘Enough!’:

Sheol, the barren womb, land never satisfied with water, and fire that never says, ‘Enough!’

Sheol, the barren womb, land never satisfied with water, and fire that never says, ‘Enough!’

All the rivers flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full; to the place from which the streams come, there again they flow.

He who loves money is never satisfied by money, and he who loves wealth is never satisfied by income. This too is futile.

He who loves money is never satisfied by money, and he who loves wealth is never satisfied by income. This too is futile.

All a man’s labor is for his mouth, yet his appetite is never satisfied.

Surely there is no righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.

Their love, their hate, and their envy have already vanished, and they will never again have a share in all that is done under the sun.

Let your garments always be white, and never spare the oil for your head.

Your navel is a rounded goblet; it never lacks blended wine. Your waist is a mound of wheat encircled by the lilies.

Your rulers are rebels, friends of thieves. They all love bribes and chasing after rewards. They do not defend the fatherless, and the plea of the widow never comes before them.

And He replied: “Go and tell this people, ‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’

And He replied: “Go and tell this people, ‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’

She will never be inhabited or settled from generation to generation; no nomad will pitch his tent there, no shepherd will rest his flock there.

You will not join them in burial, since you have destroyed your land and slaughtered your own people. The offspring of the wicked will never again be mentioned.

Prepare a place to slaughter his sons for the iniquities of their forefathers. They will never rise up to possess a land or cover the earth with their cities.

The LORD of Hosts has revealed in my hearing: “Until your dying day, this sin of yours will never be atoned for,” says the Lord GOD of Hosts.

The earth staggers like a drunkard and sways like a shack. Earth’s rebellion weighs it down, and it falls, never to rise again.

Indeed, You have made the city a heap of rubble, the fortified town a ruin. The fortress of strangers is a city no more; it will never be rebuilt.

So this is what the Lord GOD says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a tested stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; the one who believes will never be shaken.

Woe to you, O destroyer never destroyed, O traitor never betrayed! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed. When you have finished betraying, you will be betrayed.

Woe to you, O destroyer never destroyed, O traitor never betrayed! When you have finished destroying, you will be destroyed. When you have finished betraying, you will be betrayed.

He who walks righteously and speaks with sincerity, who refuses gain from extortion, whose hand never takes a bribe, who stops his ears against murderous plots and shuts his eyes tightly against evil—

I said, “I will never again see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living; I will no longer look on mankind with those who dwell in this world.

…who brings out the chariots and horses, the armies and warriors together, to lie down, never to rise again; to be extinguished, snuffed out like a wick:

Remember these things, O Jacob, for you are My servant, O Israel. I have made you, and you are My servant; O Israel, I will never forget you.

So now hear this, O lover of luxury who sits securely, who says to herself, ‘I am, and there is none besides me. I will never be a widow or know the loss of children.’

You have never heard; you have never understood; for a long time your ears have not been open. For I knew how deceitful you are; you have been called a rebel from birth.

You have never heard; you have never understood; for a long time your ears have not been open. For I knew how deceitful you are; you have been called a rebel from birth.

Your descendants would have been as countless as the sand, and your offspring as numerous as its grains; their name would never be cut off or eliminated from My presence.”

Kings will be your foster fathers, and their queens your nursing mothers. They will bow to you facedown and lick the dust at your feet. Then you will know that I am the LORD; those who hope in Me will never be put to shame.”

Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look at the earth below; for the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth will wear out like a garment, and its people will die like gnats. But My salvation will last forever, and My righteousness will never fail.

Thus says your Lord, the LORD, even your God, who defends His people: “See, I have removed from your hand the cup of staggering. From that goblet, the cup of My fury, you will never drink again.
