“ As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice, the Almighty, who has made my life bitter,

“ God hasn’t treated me fairly. The Mighty One has made my life bitter. You can be sure that God lives. And here’s something else you can be sure of.

“ As God lives, who has taken away my right, and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,

“ I vow by the living God, who has taken away my rights, by the Almighty who has embittered my soul—

As God lives, who has deprived me of justice, and the Almighty who has made me bitter,

“ As God lives, who has taken away my right, And the Almighty, who has embittered my soul,

“ As God lives, who has taken away my justice, And the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,

As God liveth, who hath taken away my right, And the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul

As God lives, who has deprived me of justice, and the Almighty who has made me bitter,

[ As] God liveth,[ who] hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty,[ who] hath vexed my soul;

“ As God lives, who has taken away my right, the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter

For Job says,‘ I am innocent, but God turns away my right.

But when she reached the prophet on the mountain, she grabbed hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to push her away, but the prophet said,“ Leave her alone, for she is very upset. The LORD has kept the matter hidden from me; he didn’t tell me about it.”

But truly, as I live, all the earth will be filled with the glory of the LORD.

Why do you say, Jacob, Why do you say, Israel,“ The LORD is not aware of what is happening to me, My God is not concerned with my vindication”?

Joab replied,“ As surely as God lives, if you had not said this, it would have been morning before the people would have abandoned pursuit of their brothers!”

Elijah the Tishbite, from Tishbe in Gilead, said to Ahab,“ As certainly as the LORD God of Israel lives( whom I serve), there will be no dew or rain in the years ahead unless I give the command.”

But the army said to Saul,“ Should Jonathan, who won this great victory in Israel, die? May it never be! As surely as the LORD lives, not a single hair of his head will fall to the ground! For it is with the help of God that he has acted today.” So the army rescued Jonathan from death.

Remain here tonight. Then in the morning, if he agrees to marry you, fine, let him do so. But if he does not want to do so, I promise, as surely as the LORD lives, to marry you. Sleep here until morning.”

But Elijah said,“ As certainly as the LORD WHO RULES OVER ALL lives( whom I serve), I will make an appearance before him today.”

Otherwise, as surely as the LORD, the God of Israel, lives– he who has prevented me from harming you– if you had not come so quickly to meet me, by morning’s light not even one male belonging to Nabal would have remained alive!”

Say to them,‘ As surely as I live, declares the sovereign LORD, I take no pleasure in the death of the wicked, but prefer that the wicked change his behavior and live. Turn back, turn back from your evil deeds! Why should you die, O house of Israel?’

But she replied to them,“ Don’t call me‘ Naomi’! Call me‘ Mara’ because the Sovereign One has treated me very harshly.I left here full, but the LORD has caused me to return empty-handed. Why do you call me‘ Naomi,’ seeing that the LORD has opposed me, and the Sovereign One has caused me to suffer?”

These people make promises in the name of the LORD. But the fact is, what they swear to is really a lie.”

“ Now, my lord, as surely as the LORD lives and as surely as you live, it is the LORD who has kept you from shedding blood and taking matters into your own hands. Now may your enemies and those who seek to harm my lord be like Nabal.

You must be truthful, honest and upright when you take an oath saying,‘ As surely as the LORD lives!’ If you do, the nations will pray to be as blessed by him as you are and will make him the object of their boasting.”

He does not allow me to recover my breath, for he fills me with bitterness.

Is it good for you to oppress, to despise the work of your hands, while you smile on the schemes of the wicked?

For as surely as the LORD, the deliverer of Israel, lives, even if it turns out to be my own son Jonathan, he will certainly die!” But no one from the army said anything.

But they must make sure you learn to follow the religious practices of my people. Once they taught my people to swear their oaths using the name of the god Baal. But then, they must swear oaths using my name, saying,“ As surely as the LORD lives, I swear.” If they do these things, then they will be included among the people I call my own.

When I send a boy after them, I will say,“ Go and find the arrows.” If I say to the boy,‘ Look, the arrows are on this side of you; get them,’ then come back. For as surely as the LORD lives, you will be safe and there will no problem.
