Right

If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand cease to function.

If I walk in the midst of trouble, You preserve me from the anger of my foes; You extend Your hand, and Your right hand saves me.

…even there Your hand will guide me; Your right hand will hold me fast.

Look to my right and see; no one attends to me. There is no refuge for me; no one cares for my soul.

…whose mouths speak falsehood, whose right hands are deceitful.

Set me free and rescue me from the grasp of foreigners, whose mouths speak falsehood, whose right hands are deceitful.

Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.

Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your feet away from evil.

Listen, for I speak of noble things, and the opening of my lips will reveal right.

One gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds what is right, only to become poor.

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes, but a wise man listens to counsel.

He who speaks the truth declares what is right, but a false witness speaks deceit.

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.

There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death.

The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

All a man’s ways seem right to him, but the LORD weighs the heart.

My inmost being will rejoice when your lips speak what is right.

Listen, my son, and be wise, and guide your heart on the right course.

…restraining her is like holding back the wind or grasping oil with one’s right hand.

Whoever keeps his command will come to no harm, and a wise heart knows the right time and procedure.

For there is a right time and procedure to every purpose, though a man’s misery weighs heavily upon him.

A wise man’s heart inclines to the right, but the heart of a fool to the left.

Take me away with you—let us hurry! May the king bring me to his chambers. We will rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love more than wine. It is only right that they adore you.

His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.

O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you by the gazelles and does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.

O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you by the gazelles and does of the field: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.

His left hand is under my head, and his right arm embraces me.

O daughters of Jerusalem, I adjure you: Do not arouse or awaken love until the time is right.

Learn to do right; seek justice and correct the oppressor. Defend the fatherless and plead the case of the widow.”

They carve out what is on the right, but they are still hungry; they eat what is on the left, but they are still not satisfied. Each one devours the flesh of his own offspring.

And whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.”

Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will surely help you; I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.

For I am the LORD your God, who takes hold of your right hand and tells you: Do not fear, I will help you.

Who has declared this from the beginning, so that we may know, and from times past, so that we may say: ‘He was right’? No one announced it, no one foretold it, no one heard your words.

He feeds on ashes. His deluded heart has led him astray, and he cannot deliver himself or say, “Is not this thing in my right hand a lie?”

This is what the LORD says to Cyrus His anointed, whose right hand I have grasped to subdue nations before him, to disarm kings, to open the doors before him, so that the gates will not be shut:

I have not spoken in secret, from a place in a land of darkness. I did not say to the descendants of Jacob, ‘Seek Me in a wasteland.’ I, the LORD, speak the truth; I say what is right.

Surely My own hand founded the earth, and My right hand spread out the heavens; when I summon them, they stand up together.

Listen to Me, you who know what is right, you people with My law in your hearts: Do not fear the scorn of men; do not be broken by their insults.

For you will spread out to the right and left; your descendants will dispossess the nations and inhabit the desolate cities.

This is what the LORD says: “Maintain justice and do what is right, for My salvation is coming soon, and My righteousness will be revealed.

For day after day they seek Me and delight to know My ways, like a nation that does what is right and does not forsake the justice of their God. They ask Me for righteous judgments; they delight in the nearness of God.”

The LORD has sworn by His right hand and by His mighty arm: “Never again will I give your grain to your enemies for food, nor will foreigners drink the new wine for which you have toiled.

…who sent His glorious arm to lead them by the right hand of Moses, who divided the waters before them to gain for Himself everlasting renown,

You welcome those who gladly do right, who remember Your ways. Surely You were angry, for we sinned. How can we be saved if we remain in our sins?

I have listened and heard; they do not speak what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, asking, ‘What have I done?’ Everyone has pursued his own course like a horse charging into battle.

What right has My beloved in My house, having carried out so many evil schemes? Can consecrated meat avert your doom? When you are wicked, then you rejoice.

“As surely as I live,” declares the LORD, “even if you, Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah, were a signet ring on My right hand, I would pull you off.

As for me, here I am in your hands; do to me what you think is good and right.

Behold! Hanamel, the son of your uncle Shallum, is coming to you to say, ‘Buy for yourself my field in Anathoth, for you have the right of redemption to buy it.’

Then, as the LORD had said, my cousin Hanamel came to me in the courtyard of the guard and urged me, ‘Please buy my field in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, for you own the right of inheritance and redemption. Buy it for yourself.’” Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.

But now, behold, I am freeing you today from the chains that were on your wrists. If it pleases you to come with me to Babylon, then come, and I will take care of you. But if it seems wrong to you to come with me to Babylon, go no farther. Look, the whole land is before you. Wherever it seems good and right to you, go there.”

But before Jeremiah turned to go, Nebuzaradan added, “Return to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon has appointed over the cities of Judah, and stay with him among the people, or go anywhere else that seems right.” Then the captain of the guard gave him a ration and a gift and released him.

In fierce anger He has cut off every horn of Israel and withdrawn His right hand at the approach of the enemy. He has burned in Jacob like a flaming fire that consumes everything around it.

He has bent His bow like an enemy; His right hand is positioned. Like a foe He has killed all who were pleasing to the eye; He has poured out His wrath like fire on the tent of the Daughter of Zion.

The form of their faces was that of a man, and each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, the face of an ox on the left side, and also the face of an eagle.

When you have completed these days, lie down again, but on your right side, and bear the iniquity of the house of Judah. I have assigned to you 40 days, a day for each year.

Now suppose a man is righteous and does what is just and right:

Yet you may ask, ‘Why shouldn’t the son bear the iniquity of his father?’ Since the son has done what is just and right, carefully observing all My statutes, he will surely live.

But if the wicked man turns from all the sins he has committed, keeps all My statutes, and does what is just and right, he will surely live; he will not die.

But if a wicked man turns from the wickedness he has committed and does what is just and right, he will save his life.

Slash to the right; set your blade to the left—wherever your blade is directed.

In his right hand appears the portent for Jerusalem, where he is to set up battering rams, to call for the slaughter, to lift a battle cry, to direct the battering rams against the gates, to build a ramp, and to erect a siege wall.

A ruin, a ruin, I will make it a ruin! And it will not be restored until the arrival of Him to whom it belongs, to whom I have assigned the right of judgment.’

But if I tell the wicked man, ‘You will surely die,’ and he turns from his sin and does what is just and right—

None of the sins he has committed will be held against him. He has done what is just and right; he will surely live.

But if a wicked man turns from his wickedness and does what is just and right, he will live because of this.

Then I will strike the bow from your left hand and dash down the arrows from your right hand.

For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Enough, O princes of Israel! Cease your violence and oppression, and do what is just and right. Stop dispossessing My people, declares the Lord GOD.’

Therefore, may my advice be pleasing to you, O king. Break away from your sins by doing what is right, and from your iniquities by showing mercy to the oppressed. Perhaps there will be an extension of your prosperity.”

And the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by Him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, and times, and half a time. When the power of the holy people has finally been shattered, all these things will be completed.”

Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them. For the ways of the LORD are right, and the righteous walk in them but the rebellious stumble in them.

“For they know not how to do right,” declares the LORD. “They store up violence and destruction in their citadels.”

But the LORD replied, “Have you any right to be angry?”

Then God asked Jonah, “Have you any right to be angry about the plant?” “I do,” he replied. “I am angry enough to die!”

So should I not care about the great city of Nineveh, which has more than 120,000 people who cannot tell their right hand from their left, and many cattle as well?”

Now hear this, O leaders of the house of Jacob and rulers of the house of Israel, who despise justice and pervert all that is right,

You will be filled with shame instead of glory. You too must drink and expose your uncircumcision! The cup in the LORD’s right hand will come around to you, and utter disgrace will cover your glory.

Then the angel showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, with Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.

There are also two olive trees beside it, one on the right side of the bowl and the other on its left.”

Then I asked the angel, “What are the two olive trees on the right and left of the lampstand?”

Then I told them, “If it seems right to you, give me my wages; but if not, keep them.” So they weighed out my wages, thirty pieces of silver.

Woe to the worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May a sword strike his arm and his right eye! May his arm be completely withered and his right eye utterly blinded!”

Woe to the worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May a sword strike his arm and his right eye! May his arm be completely withered and his right eye utterly blinded!”

On that day I will make the clans of Judah like a firepot in a woodpile, like a flaming torch among the sheaves; they will consume all the peoples around them on the right and on the left, while the people of Jerusalem remain secure there.

If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell.

And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to depart into hell.

But I tell you not to resist an evil person. If someone slaps you on your right cheek, turn to him the other also;

But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing,

But Jesus replied, “It is not right to take the children’s bread and toss it to the dogs.”

‘You also go into my vineyard,’ he said, ‘and I will pay you whatever is right.’

Do I not have the right to do as I please with what is mine? Or are you envious because I am generous?’

“What do you want?” He inquired. She answered, “Declare that in Your kingdom one of these two sons of mine may sit at Your right hand, and the other at Your left.”

“You will indeed drink My cup,” Jesus said. “But to sit at My right or left is not Mine to grant. These seats belong to those for whom My Father has prepared them.”

If anyone questions you, tell him that the Lord needs them, and he will send them right away.”

‘The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at My right hand until I put Your enemies under Your feet.”’

So also, when you see all these things, you will know that He is near, right at the door.

He will place the sheep on His right and the goats on His left.

Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

But Peter followed Him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. And he went in and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.
