Things

But it was He who filled their houses with good things; so I stay far from the counsel of the wicked.

Behold, all these things God does to a man, two or even three times,

God thunders wondrously with His voice; He does great things we cannot comprehend.

“I know that You can do all things and that no plan of Yours can be thwarted.

You asked, ‘Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.

You asked, ‘Who is this who conceals My counsel without knowledge?’ Surely I spoke of things I did not understand, things too wonderful for me to know.

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

These things come to mind as I pour out my soul: how I walked with the multitude, leading the festive procession to the house of God with shouts of joy and praise.

You have done these things, and I kept silent; you thought I was just like you. But now I rebuke you and accuse you to your face.

Your righteousness reaches to the heavens, O God, You who have done great things. Who, O God, is like You?

I will open my mouth in parables; I will utter things hidden from the beginning,

Glorious things are ascribed to you, O city of God. Selah

…who satisfies you with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Here is the sea, vast and wide, teeming with creatures beyond number, living things both great and small.

When You give it to them, they gather it up; when You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good things.

They forgot God their Savior, who did great things in Egypt,

For He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.

Let him who is wise pay heed to these things and consider the loving devotion of the LORD.

Open my eyes that I may see wondrous things from Your law.

Turn my eyes away from worthless things; revive me with Your word.

Your ordinances stand to this day, for all things are servants to You.

Then our mouths were filled with laughter, our tongues with shouts of joy. Then it was said among the nations, “The LORD has done great things for them.”

The LORD has done great things for us; we are filled with joy.

A song of ascents. Of David. My heart is not proud, O LORD, my eyes are not haughty. I do not aspire to great things or matters too lofty for me.

There are six things that the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to Him:

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

By fruitful speech a man is filled with good things, and the work of his hands returns to him.

From the fruit of his lips a man enjoys good things, but the desire of the faithless is violence.

Your eyes will see strange things, and your mind will utter perversities.

Two things I ask of You—do not refuse me before I die:

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

There are three things too wonderful for me, four that I cannot understand:

Under three things the earth trembles, under four it cannot bear up:

Four things on earth are small, yet they are exceedingly wise:

There are three things that are stately in their stride, and four that are impressive in their walk:

“Many daughters have done noble things, but you surpass them all!”

All things are wearisome, more than one can describe; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear content with hearing.

I have seen all the things that are done under the sun, and have found them all to be futile, a pursuit of the wind.

When good things increase, so do those who consume them; what then is the profit to the owner, except to behold them with his eyes?

As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the bones are formed in a mother’s womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.

Rejoice, O young man, while you are young, and let your heart be glad in the days of your youth. Walk in the ways of your heart and in the sight of your eyes, but know that for all these things God will bring you to judgment.

Sing to the LORD, for He has done glorious things. Let this be known in all the earth.

You have turned things upside down, as if the potter were regarded as clay. Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, “He did not make me”? Can the pottery say of the potter, “He has no understanding”?

O Lord, by such things men live, and in all of them my spirit finds life. You have restored me to health and have let me live.

“Let them come and tell us what will happen. Tell the former things, so that we may reflect on them and know the outcome. Or announce to us what is coming.

Tell us the things that are to come, so that we may know that you are gods. Yes, do something good or evil, that we may look on together in dismay.

Behold, the former things have happened, and now I declare new things. Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you.”

Behold, the former things have happened, and now I declare new things. Before they spring forth I proclaim them to you.”

I will lead the blind by a way they did not know; I will guide them on unfamiliar paths. I will turn darkness into light before them and rough places into level ground. These things I will do for them, and I will not forsake them.

Though seeing many things, you do not keep watch. Though your ears are open, you do not hear.”

All the nations gather together and the peoples assemble. Who among them can declare this, and proclaim to us the former things? Let them present their witnesses to vindicate them, so that others may hear and say, “It is true.”

“Do not call to mind the former things; pay no attention to the things of old.

“Do not call to mind the former things; pay no attention to the things of old.

Who then is like Me? Let him say so! Let him declare his case before Me, since I established an ancient people. Let him foretell the things to come, and what is to take place.

All makers of idols are nothing, and the things they treasure are worthless. Their witnesses fail to see or comprehend, so they are put to shame.

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.

Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer who formed you from the womb: “I am the LORD, who has made all things, who alone stretched out the heavens, who by Myself spread out the earth,

I form the light and create the darkness; I bring prosperity and create calamity. I, the LORD, do all these things.

Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and its Maker: “Concerning things to come, do you question Me about My sons, or instruct Me in the work of My hands?

You said, ‘I will be queen forever.’ You did not take these things to heart or consider their outcome.

These two things will overtake you in a moment, in a single day: loss of children, and widowhood. They will come upon you in full measure, in spite of your many sorceries and the potency of your spells.

I foretold the former things long ago; they came out of My mouth and I proclaimed them. Suddenly I acted, and they came to pass.

You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not acknowledge them? From now on I will tell you of new things, hidden things unknown to you.

You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not acknowledge them? From now on I will tell you of new things, hidden things unknown to you.

You have heard these things; look at them all. Will you not acknowledge them? From now on I will tell you of new things, hidden things unknown to you.

Come together, all of you, and listen: Which of the idols has foretold these things? The LORD’s chosen ally will carry out His desire against Babylon, and His arm will be against the Chaldeans.

I will make known the LORD’s loving devotion and His praiseworthy acts, because of all that the LORD has done for us—the many good things for the house of Israel according to His great compassion and loving devotion.

For behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.

Has not My hand made all these things? And so they came into being,” declares the LORD. “This is the one I will esteem: he who is humble and contrite in spirit, who trembles at My word.

Who has heard of such as this? Who has seen such things? Can a country be born in a day or a nation be delivered in an instant? Yet as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children.

Moreover, your skirts are stained with the blood of the innocent poor, though you did not find them breaking in. But in spite of all these things

I thought that after she had done all these things, she would return to Me. But she did not return, and her unfaithful sister Judah saw it.

Should I not punish them for these things?” declares the LORD. “Should I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?

And when the people ask, ‘For what offense has the LORD our God done all these things to us?’ You are to tell them, ‘Just as you have forsaken Me and served foreign gods in your land, so will you serve foreigners in a land that is not your own.’”

Should I not punish them for these things?” declares the LORD. “Should I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?

And now, because you have done all these things, declares the LORD, and because I have spoken to you again and again but you would not listen, and I have called to you but you would not answer,

When you tell them all these things, they will not listen to you. When you call to them, they will not answer.

Should I not punish them for these things? declares the LORD. Should I not avenge Myself on such a nation as this?”

But let him who boasts boast in this, that he understands and knows Me, that I am the LORD, who exercises loving devotion, justice and righteousness on the earth—for I delight in these things,” declares the LORD.

The Portion of Jacob is not like these, for He is the Maker of all things, and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance—the LORD of Hosts is His name.

Can the worthless idols of the nations bring rain? Do the skies alone send showers? Is this not by You, O LORD our God? So we put our hope in You, for You have done all these things.

When you tell these people all these things, they will ask you, ‘Why has the LORD pronounced all this great disaster against us? What is our iniquity? What is the sin that we have committed against the LORD our God?’

The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?

Therefore this is what the LORD says: “Inquire among the nations: Who has ever heard things like these? Virgin Israel has done a most terrible thing.

When Pashhur the priest, the son of Immer and the chief official in the house of the LORD, heard Jeremiah prophesying these things,

When the officials of Judah heard these things, they went up from the king’s palace to the house of the LORD and sat there at the entrance of the New Gate.

Now there was another man prophesying in the name of the LORD, Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath-jearim. He prophesied against this city and against this land the same things that Jeremiah did.

Why do you cry out over your wound? Your pain has no cure! Because of your great iniquity and your numerous sins I have done these things to you.

Call to Me, and I will answer and show you great and unsearchable things you do not know.

Nor are you ever to build a house or sow seed or plant a vineyard. Those things are not for you. Instead, you must live in tents all your lives, so that you may live a long time in the land where you wander.’

Instead, we will do everything we vowed to do: We will burn incense to the Queen of Heaven and offer drink offerings to her, just as we, our fathers, our kings, and our officials did in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem. At that time we had plenty of food and good things, and we saw no disaster.

But as for you, do you seek great things for yourself? Stop seeking! For I will bring disaster on every living creature, declares the LORD, but wherever you go, I will grant your life as a spoil of war.”

The Portion of Jacob is not like these, for He is the Maker of all things, and of the tribe of His inheritance—the LORD of Hosts is His name.

For these things I weep; my eyes flow with tears. For there is no one nearby to comfort me, no one to revive my soul. My children are destitute because the enemy has prevailed.

And I will hand these things over as plunder to foreigners and loot to the wicked of the earth, who will defile them.

When they return to it, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations.

But as for those whose hearts pursue detestable things and abominations, I will bring their conduct down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”

They will bring you consolation when you see their conduct and actions, and you will know that it was not without cause that I have done all these things within it,’ declares the Lord GOD.”

No one cared enough for you to do even one of these things out of compassion for you. Instead, you were thrown out into the open field, because you were despised on the day of your birth.

You took some of your garments and made colorful high places for yourself, and on them you prostituted yourself. Such things should not have happened; never should they have occurred!
