He sent them to Bethlehem and said,“ Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”

He sent them to Bethlehem. He said,“ Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report it to me. Then I can go and worship him too.”

And he sent them to Bethlehem, saying,“ Go and search diligently for the child, and when you have found him, bring me word, that I too may come and worship him.”

Then he told them,“ Go to Bethlehem and search carefully for the child. And when you find him, come back and tell me so that I can go and worship him, too!”

He sent them to Bethlehem and said,“ Go and search carefully for the child. When you find him, report back to me so that I too can go and worship him.”

And he sent them to Bethlehem and said,“ Go and search carefully for the Child; and when you have found Him, report to me, so that I too may come and worship Him.”

And he sent them to Bethlehem and said,“ Go and search carefully for the young Child, and when you have found Him, bring back word to me, that I may come and worship Him also.”

And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search out exactly concerning the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word, that I also may come and worship him.

And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found[ him], bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.

He sent them to Bethlehem and said,“ Go and look carefully for the child. When you find him, inform me so that I can go and worship him as well.”

He sent them to Bethlehem, and said,“ Go and search diligently for the young child. When you have found him, bring me word, so that I also may come and worship him.”

They watched closely and sent spies who pretended to be righteous, so they could catch Him in what He said, to hand Him over to the governor’s rule and authority.They questioned Him,“ Teacher, we know that You speak and teach correctly, and You don’t show partiality, but teach truthfully the way of God.

80 men came from Shechem, Shiloh, and Samaria who had shaved their beards, torn their garments, and gashed themselves, and who were carrying grain and incense offerings to bring to the temple of the Lord.Ishmael son of Nethaniah came out of Mizpah to meet them, weeping as he came. When he encountered them, he said:“ Come to Gedaliah son of Ahikam!”But when they came into the city, Ishmael son of Nethaniah and the men with him slaughtered them and threw them into a cistern.

The Lord frustrates the counsel of the nations; He thwarts the plans of the peoples.The counsel of the Lord stands forever, the plans of His heart from generation to generation.

He frustrates the schemes of the crafty so that they achieve no success.He traps the wise in their craftiness so that the plans of the deceptive are quickly brought to an end.

When the enemies of Judah and Benjamin heard that the returned exiles were building a temple for Yahweh, the God of Israel,they approached Zerubbabel and the leaders of the families and said to them,“ Let us build with you, for we also worship your God and have been sacrificing to Him since the time King Esar-haddon of Assyria brought us here.”

So Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying,“ May the gods punish me and do so severely if I don’t make your life like the life of one of them by this time tomorrow!”

destruction is inside it; oppression and deceit never leave its marketplace.Now it is not an enemy who insults me— otherwise I could bear it; it is not a foe who rises up against me— otherwise I could hide from him.But it is you, a man who is my peer, my companion and good friend!We used to have close fellowship; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.Let death take them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, because evil is in their homes and within them.

Who is there who speaks and it happens, unless the Lord has ordained it?

When four years had passed, Absalom said to the king,“ Please let me go to Hebron to fulfill a vow I made to the Lord.For your servant made a vow when I lived in Geshur of Aram, saying: If the Lord really brings me back to Jerusalem, I will worship the Lord in Hebron.”“ Go in peace,” the king said to him. So he went to Hebron.Then Absalom sent messengers throughout the tribes of Israel with this message:“ When you hear the sound of the ram’s horn, you are to say,‘ Absalom has become king in Hebron!’”Two hundred men from Jerusalem went with Absalom. They had been invited and were going innocently, for they knew nothing about the whole matter.While he was offering the sacrifices, Absalom sent for David’s adviser Ahithophel the Gilonite, from his city of Giloh. So the conspiracy grew strong, and the people supporting Absalom continued to increase.

They lie to one another; they speak with flattering lips and deceptive hearts.May the Lord cut off all flattering lips and the tongue that speaks boastfully.

His betrayer had given them a sign:“ The One I kiss, He’s the One; arrest Him!”So he went right up to Jesus and said,“ Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

Since the Lord had decreed that Ahithophel’s good advice be undermined in order to bring about Absalom’s ruin, Absalom and all the men of Israel said,“ The advice of Hushai the Archite is better than Ahithophel’s advice.”

A hateful person disguises himself with his speech and harbors deceit within.When he speaks graciously, don’t believe him, for there are seven abominations in his heart.

Then Jehu brought all the people together and said to them,“ Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him a lot.Now, therefore, summon to me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests. None must be missing, for I have a great sacrifice for Baal. Whoever is missing will not live.” However, Jehu was acting deceptively in order to destroy the servants of Baal.

For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, since it is written: He catches the wise in their craftiness;and again, The Lord knows that the reasonings of the wise are meaningless.

No wisdom, no understanding, and no counsel will prevail against the Lord.

Go and check again. Investigate and watch carefully where he goes and who has seen him there; they tell me he is extremely cunning.Look and find out all the places where he hides. Then come back to me with accurate information, and I’ll go with you. If it turns out he really is in the region, I’ll search for him among all the clans of Judah.”
