Word

Order my steps in Your word; let no sin rule over me.

I rise before dawn and cry for help; in Your word I have put my hope.

My eyes anticipate the watches of night, that I may meditate on Your word.

Defend my cause and redeem me; revive me according to Your word.

I look on the faithless with loathing because they do not keep Your word.

The entirety of Your word is truth, and all Your righteous judgments endure forever.

Rulers persecute me without cause, but my heart fears only Your word.

May my cry come before You, O LORD; give me understanding according to Your word.

My tongue sings of Your word, for all Your commandments are righteous.

I wait for the LORD; my soul does wait, and in His word I put my hope.

I bow down toward Your holy temple and give thanks to Your name for Your loving devotion and Your faithfulness; You have exalted Your name and Your word above all else.

Even before a word is on my tongue, You know all about it, O LORD.

He sends forth His command to the earth; His word runs swiftly.

He sends forth His word and melts them; He unleashes His winds, and the waters flow.

He declares His word to Jacob, His statutes and judgments to Israel.

…lightning and hail, snow and clouds, powerful wind fulfilling His word,

Anxiety weighs down the heart of a man, but a good word cheers it up.

The simple man believes every word, but the prudent man watches his steps.

A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger.

A man takes joy in a fitting reply—and how good is a timely word!

A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver.

Every word of God is flawless; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.

Do not be quick to speak, and do not be hasty in your heart to utter a word before God. For God is in heaven and you are on earth. So let your words be few.

Do not pay attention to every word that is spoken, or you may hear your servant cursing you.

For the king’s word is supreme, and who can say to him, “What are you doing?”

Hear the word of the LORD, you rulers of Sodom; listen to the instruction of our God, you people of Gomorrah!

And many peoples will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Therefore, as a tongue of fire consumes the straw, and as dry grass shrivels in the flame, so their roots will decay and their blossoms will blow away like dust; for they have rejected the instruction of the LORD of Hosts and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.

To the law and to the testimony! If they do not speak according to this word, they have no light of dawn.

This is the burden against Tyre: Wail, O ships of Tarshish, for Tyre is laid waste, without house or harbor. Word has reached them from the land of Cyprus.

The earth will be utterly laid waste and thoroughly plundered. For the LORD has spoken this word.

Then the word of the LORD to them will become: “Order on order, order on order, line on line, line on line; a little here, a little there,” so that they will go stumbling backward and will be injured, ensnared, and captured.

Therefore hear the word of the LORD, O scoffers who rule this people in Jerusalem.

…those who indict a man with a word, who ensnare the mediator at the gate, and who with false charges deprive the innocent of justice.

Stand up, you complacent women; listen to me. Give ear to my word, you overconfident daughters.

But the people remained silent and did not answer a word, for Hezekiah had commanded, “Do not answer him.”

…this is the word that the LORD has spoken against him: ‘The Virgin Daughter of Zion despises you and mocks you; the Daughter of Jerusalem shakes her head behind you.

And the word of the LORD came to Isaiah, saying,

Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the LORD of Hosts:

But Hezekiah said to Isaiah, “The word of the LORD that you have spoken is good.” For he thought, “At least there will be peace and security in my lifetime.”

The grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of our God stands forever.”

This is the word of the LORD, your Maker, who formed you from the womb and who will help you: “Do not be afraid, O Jacob My servant, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen.

By Myself I have sworn; truth has gone out from My mouth, a word that will not be revoked: Every knee will bow before Me, every tongue will swear allegiance.

The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of discipleship, to sustain the weary with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning; He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.

…so My word that proceeds from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and it will prosper where I send it.

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.

You who tremble at His word, hear the word of the LORD: “Your brothers who hate you and exclude you because of My name have said, ‘Let the LORD be glorified that we may see your joy!’ But they will be put to shame.”

You who tremble at His word, hear the word of the LORD: “Your brothers who hate you and exclude you because of My name have said, ‘Let the LORD be glorified that we may see your joy!’ But they will be put to shame.”

The word of the LORD came to Jeremiah in the thirteenth year of the reign of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah,

The word of the LORD came to me, saying:

And the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” “I see a branch of an almond tree,” I replied.

“You have observed correctly,” said the LORD, “for I am watching over My word to accomplish it.”

Again the word of the LORD came to me, asking, “What do you see?” “I see a boiling pot,” I replied, “and it is tilting toward us from the north.”

Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Hear the word of the LORD, O house of Jacob, and all you families of the house of Israel.

You people of this generation, consider the word of the LORD: “Have I been a wilderness to Israel or a land of dense darkness? Why do My people say, ‘We are free to roam; we will come to You no more’?

The prophets are but wind, for the word is not in them. So let their own predictions befall them.”

Therefore this is what the LORD God of Hosts says: “Because you have spoken this word, I will make My words a fire in your mouth and this people the wood it consumes.

To whom can I give this warning? Who will listen to me? Look, their ears are closed, so they cannot hear. See, the word of the LORD has become offensive to them; they find no pleasure in it.

Hear, O earth! I am bringing disaster on this people, the fruit of their own schemes, because they have paid no attention to My word and have rejected My instruction.

This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD, saying,

“Stand in the gate of the house of the LORD and proclaim this message: Hear the word of the LORD, all you people of Judah who enter through these gates to worship the LORD.

The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, what wisdom do they really have?

Now, O women, hear the word of the LORD. Open your ears to the word of His mouth. Teach your daughters to wail, and one another to lament.

Now, O women, hear the word of the LORD. Open your ears to the word of His mouth. Teach your daughters to wail, and one another to lament.

Hear the word that the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.

This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:

So I bought a loincloth in accordance with the word of the LORD, and I put it around my waist.

Then the word of the LORD came to me a second time:

Then the word of the LORD came to me:

This is the word of the LORD that came to Jeremiah concerning the drought:

You are to speak this word to them: ‘My eyes overflow with tears; day and night they do not cease, for the virgin daughter of my people has been shattered by a crushing blow, a severely grievous wound.

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

Behold, they keep saying to me, “Where is the word of the LORD? Let it come now!”

Say to them, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, all people of Judah and Jerusalem who enter through these gates.

This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD:

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

…saying, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah and residents of Jerusalem. This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring such disaster on this place that the ears of all who hear of it will ring,

For whenever I speak, I cry out; I proclaim violence and destruction. For the word of the LORD has become to me a reproach and derision all day long.

This is the word that came to Jeremiah from the LORD when King Zedekiah sent to him Pashhur son of Malchijah and the priest Zephaniah son of Maaseiah. They said,

Moreover, tell the house of the king of Judah to hear the word of the LORD.

…saying, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O king of Judah, who sits on the throne of David—you and your officials and your people who enter these gates.

O land, land, land, hear the word of the LORD!

But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD to see and hear His word? Who has given heed to His word and obeyed it?

But which of them has stood in the council of the LORD to see and hear His word? Who has given heed to His word and obeyed it?

Let the prophet who has a dream retell it, but let him who has My word speak it truthfully. For what is straw compared to grain?” declares the LORD.

“Is not My word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that smashes a rock?”

But refer no more to the burden of the LORD, for each man’s word becomes the burden, so that you pervert the words of the living God, the LORD of Hosts, our God.

Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

This is the word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.

“From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah until this very day—twenty-three years—the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened.

At the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came from the LORD:

“This is what the LORD says: Stand in the courtyard of the house of the LORD and speak all the words I have commanded you to speak to all the cities of Judah who come to worship there. Do not omit a word.

At the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah son of Josiah king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from the LORD.

Send word to the kings of Edom, Moab, Ammon, Tyre, and Sidon through the envoys who have come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.

If they are indeed prophets and the word of the LORD is with them, let them now plead with the LORD of Hosts that the articles remaining in the house of the LORD, in the palace of the king of Judah, and in Jerusalem, not be taken to Babylon.

As for the prophet who prophesies peace, only if the word of the prophet comes true will the prophet be recognized as one the LORD has truly sent.”

But shortly after Hananiah the prophet had broken the yoke off his neck, the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:

So hear the word of the LORD, all you exiles I have sent away from Jerusalem to Babylon.

Then the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah:
