Joshua 1

Bible Verses

Genesis 13

1 And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the South. 2 And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. 3 And he went on his journeys from the South even to Beth-el, to the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Beth-el and Ai, 4 to the place of the altar, which he had made there at the first: and there Abram called on the name of the Lord. 5 And Lot also, who went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents. 6 And the land was not able to bear them, for them to dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together. 7 And there was a strife between the herdsmen of Abram’s cattle and the herdsmen of Lot’s cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land. 

8 And Abram said to Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray you, between me and you, and between my herdsmen and your herdsmen; for we are brothers. 9 Is not the whole land before you? Separate yourself, I pray you, from me: if you wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if you take the right hand, then I will go to the left. 10 And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the Plain of the Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, like the garden of the Lord, like the land of Egypt, as you go to Zoar. 11 So Lot chose him all the Plain of the Jordan; and Lot journeyed east: and they separated themselves the one from the other. 12 Abram dwelt in the land of Canaan, and Lot dwelt in the cities of the Plain, and moved his tent as far as Sodom. 13 Now the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners against God exceedingly.

14 And God said to Abram, after that Lot was separated from him, Lift up now your eyes, and look from the place where you are, northward and southward and eastward and westward: 15 for all the land which you see, to you will I give it, and to your seed forever. 16 And I will make your seed as the dust of the earth: so that if a man can number the dust of the earth, then may your seed also be numbered. 17 Arise, walk through the land in the length of it and in the breadth of it; for to you will I give it. 18 And Abram moved his tent, and came and dwelt by the oaks of Mamre, which are in Hebron, and built there an altar to God.

Genesis 26

18 And Isaac dug again the wells of water, which they had dug in the days of Abraham his father; for the Philistines had stopped them after the death of Abraham: and he called their names after the names by which his father had called them. 19 And Isaac’s servants dug in the valley, and found there a well of springing water. 20 And the herdsmen of Gerar strove with Isaac’s herdsmen, saying, The water is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek, because they contended with him. 21 And they dug another well, and they strove for that also: and he called the name of it Sitnah. 22 And he removed from there, and dug another well; and for that they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehoboth; and he said, For now God has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.

23 And he went up from there to Beer-sheba. 24 And The Lord appeared to him the same night, and said, I am the God of Abraham your father: fear not, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your seed for my servant Abraham’s sake. 25 And he built an altar there, and called upon the name of The Lord, and pitched his tent there: and there Isaac’s servants dug a well.

26 Then Abimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath his friend, and Phicol the captain of his host. 27 And Isaac said to them, Why have you come to me, seeing you hate me, and have sent me away from you? 28 And they said, We saw plainly that God was with you: and we said, Let there now be an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a covenant with you, 29 that you will do us no harm, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but good, and have sent you away in peace: you are now the blessed of God. 30 And he made them a feast, and they did eat and drink. 31 And they rose up early in the morning, and swore one to another: and Isaac sent them away, and they departed from him in peace. 32 And it came to pass the same day, that Isaac’s servants came, and told him concerning the well which they had dug, and said to him, We have found water. 

Leviticus 26

1 You shall make no idols, neither shall you rear you up a graven image, or a pillar, neither shall you place any figured stone in your land, to bow down to it: for I am The Lord your God. 2 You shall keep my sabbath, and reverence my sanctuary: I am God.

3 If you walk in my statutes, and keep my commandments, and do them; 4 then I will give your rains in their season, and the land shall yield its increase, and the trees of the field shall yield their fruit. 5 And your threshing shall reach to the vintage, and the vintage shall reach to the sowing time; and you shall eat your bread to the full, and dwell in your land safely. 6 And I will give peace in the land, and you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid: and I will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, neither shall the sword go through your land. 7 And you shall chase your enemies, and they shall fall before you by the sword. 8 And five of you shall chase a hundred, and a hundred of you shall chase ten thousand; and your enemies shall fall before you by the sword. 

Job 2

1 Again it came to pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before God, that Satan came also among them to present himself before God. 2 And God said to Satan, From where do you come? And Satan answered God, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it. 3 And God said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fears God, and turns away from evil: and he still holds fast his integrity, although you moved me against him, to destroy him without cause. 4 And Satan answered God, and said, Skin for skin, yes, all that a man has will he give for his life. 5 But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce you to your face. 6 And God said to Satan, Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life.

Job 3

1 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.

2 And Job answered and said:

3 Let the day perish on which I was born,

And the night which said, There is a child conceived.

4 Let that day be darkness;

Let not God from above seek for it,

Neither let the light shine upon it.

5 Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it;

Let all that makes black the day terrify it.

6 As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it:

Let it not rejoice among the days of the year;

Let it not come into the number of the months.

7 Lo, let that night be barren;

Let no joyful voice come therein.

8 Let them curse it that curse the day,

Who are ready to rouse up leviathan.

9 Let the stars of the twilight be dark:

Let it look for light, but have none;

Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning:

10 Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb,

Nor hid trouble from my eyes.

11 Why did I not die from the womb?

Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bore me?

12 Why did the knees receive me?

Or why the breasts, that I should suck?

13 For now should I have lain down and been quiet;

I should have slept; then had I been at rest,

14 With kings and counselors of the earth,

Who built up waste places for themselves;

15 Or with princes that had gold,

Who filled their houses with silver:

16 Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been,

As infants that never saw light.

17 There the wicked cease from troubling;

And there the weary are at rest.

18 There the prisoners are at ease together;

They hear not the voice of the taskmaster.

19 The small and the great are there:

And the servant is free from his master.

20 Why is light given to him that is in misery,

And life to the bitter in soul;

21 Who long for death, but it comes not,

And dig for it more than for hidden treasures;

22 Who rejoice exceedingly,

And are glad, when they can find the grave?

23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden,

And whom God has hedged in?

24 For my sighing comes before I eat,

And my groaning is poured out like water.

25 For the thing which I fear comes upon me,

And that which I am afraid of comes to me.

26 I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest;

But trouble comes.

Job 22

21 Acquaint now yourself with him, and be at peace:

Thereby good shall come to you.

22 Receive, I pray you, the law from his mouth,

And lay up his words in your heart.

23 If you return to the Almighty, you shall be built up,

If you put away unrighteousness far from your tents.

24 And lay your treasure in the dust,

And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks;

25 And the Almighty will be your treasure,

And precious silver to you.

26 For then shall you delight yourself in the Almighty,

And shalt lift up your face to God.

27 You shall make your prayer to him, and he will hear you;

And you shall pay your vows.

28 You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established to you; And light shall shine upon your ways.

29 When they cast you down, you shall say, There is lifting up; And the humble person he will save.

30 He will deliver even him that is not innocent:

Psalms 4

A Psalm of David.

3 But know that God has set apart for himself him that is godly: God will hear when I call to him.

4 Stand in awe, and sin not:

Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.

Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,

And put your trust in God.

6 Many there are that say, Who will show us any good?

God, lift up the light of your countenance upon us.

7 You have put gladness in my heart,

More than they have when their grain and their new wine are increased.

8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep;

For you, God, alone make me dwell in safety.

Psalms 29

A Psalm of David.

1 Ascribe to God, O you sons of the mighty,

Ascribe to God glory and strength.

2 Ascribe to God the glory due to his name;

Worship The Lord in holy array.

3 The voice of God is upon the waters:

The God of glory thunders,

Even God upon many waters.

4 The voice of God is powerful;

The voice of God is full of majesty.

5 The voice of God breaks the cedars;

Yes, God breaks in pieces the cedars of Lebanon.

6 He makes them also to skip like a calf;

Lebanon and Sirion like a young wild-ox.

7 The voice of God cleaves the flames of fire.

8 The voice of God shakes the wilderness;

God shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.

9 The voice of God makes the hinds to calve,

And strips the forests bare:

And in his temple everything said, Glory.

10 The Lord sat as King at the Flood;

Yes, God sits as King forever.

11 God will give strength to his people;

God will bless his people with peace.

Psalms 34

13 Keep your tongue from evil,

And your lips from speaking guile.

14 Depart from evil, and do good;

Seek peace, and pursue it.

Psalms 35

19 Let not them that are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; Neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.

20 For they speak not peace; But they devise deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land.

21 Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me;

They said, Aha, aha, our eye has seen it.

22 You have seen it, O Lord; keep not silence:

O Lord, be not far from me.

23 Stir up yourself, and awake to the justice due to me,

Even to my cause, my God and my Lord.

24 Judge me, O Lord my God, according to your righteousness; And let them not rejoice over me.

Psalms 37

11 But the meek shall inherit the land,

And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

37 Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright;

For there is a happy end for the man of peace.

38 As for transgressors, they shall be destroyed together:

The end of the wicked shall be cut off.

Psalm 84

11 For Lord God is a sun and a shield:

God will give grace and glory;

No good thing will he withhold from they that walk uprightly.

12 O Lord of hosts,

Blessed is the man that trusts in you.

Psalms 85

8 I will hear what God will speak;

For he will speak peace to his people

10 Mercy and truth are met together;

Righteousness and peace have kissed each other.

Psalms 119

165 Great peace have they that love your law;

And they have no occasion of stumbling.

Psalms 122

8 For my brothers and companions’ sakes,

I will now say, Peace be within you.

9 For the sake of the house of The Lord our God

Proverb 3

1 My son, forget not my law;

But let your heart keep my commandments:

2 For length of days, and years of life,

And peace, will they add to you.

3 Let not kindness and truth forsake you:

Bind them about your neck;

Write them upon the tablet of your heart:

4 So shall you find favor and good understanding

In the sight of God and man.

5 Trust in God with all your heart,

And lean not upon your own understanding:

6 In all your ways acknowledge him,

And he will direct your paths.

7 Be not wise in your own eyes;

Fear God, and depart from evil:

13 Happy is the man that finds wisdom,

And the man that gets understanding.

14 For the gaining of it is better than the gaining of silver,

And the profit thereof than fine gold.

15 She is more precious than rubies:

And none of the things you can desire are to be compared to her.

16 Length of days is in her right hand;

In her left hand are riches and honor.

17 Her ways are ways of pleasantness,

And all her paths are peace.

18 She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her:

And happy is every one that retains her.

19 The Lord by wisdom founded the earth;

By understanding he established the heavens.

20 By his knowledge the depths were broken up,

And the skies drop down the dew.

21 My son, let them not depart from your eyes;

Keep sound wisdom and discretion:

22 So shall they be life to your soul,

And grace to your neck.

23 Then shall you walk in your way securely,

And your foot shall not stumble.

24 When you lie down, you shall not be afraid:

Yes, you shall lie down, and your sleep shall be sweet.

25 Be not afraid of sudden fear,

Neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it comes:

26 For God will be your confidence,

And will keep your foot from being taken.

Proverbs 12

20 Deceit is in the heart of them that devise evil;

But to the counselors of peace is joy.

Proverbs 14

30 A tranquil heart is the life of the body

Proverbs 16

7 When a man’s ways please God,

He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him.

8 Better is a little, with righteousness,

Than great revenues with injustice.

9 A man’s heart devises his way;

But The Lord directs his steps.

Proverbs 17

1 Better is a dry morsel, and quietness,

Than a house full of feasting with strife.

Proverbs 29

17 Correct your son, and he will give you rest;

Yes, he will give delight to your soul.

Isaiah 9

6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the

government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to establish it, and to uphold it with justice and with righteousness from now on even forever.

Isaiah 26

3 You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on you; because he trusts in you. 4 Trust in God forever; for in God, even The Lord, is an everlasting rock.

Isaiah 30

18 And therefore will God wait, that he may be gracious to you; and therefore will he be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you: for the Lord is a God of justice; blessed are all they that wait for him.

Isaiah 32

17 And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness, quietness and confidence forever. 18 And my people shall abide in a peaceable habitation, and in safe dwellings, and in quiet resting places.

Isaiah 48

17 Thus said God, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am The Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you by the way that you should go. 18 Oh that you had listened to my commandments! Then had your peace been as a river, and your righteousness as the waves of the sea:

Isaiah 53

4 Surely he has borne our grief, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of
