servant

And I said unto the king, If it please the king, and if thy servant have found favour in thy sight, that thou wouldest send me unto Judah, unto the city of my fathers’ sepulchres, that I may build it.

When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them exceedingly that there was come a man to seek the welfare of the children of Israel.

But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and Geshem the Arabian, heard it, they laughed us to scorn, and despised us, and said, What is this thing that ye do? will ye rebel against the king?

Likewise at the same time said I unto the people, Let every one with his servant lodge within Jerusalem, that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour on the day.

Then sent Sanballat his servant unto me in like manner the fifth time with an open letter in his hand;

And madest known unto them thy holy sabbath, and commandedst them precepts, statutes, and laws, by the hand of Moses thy servant:

They clave to their brethren, their nobles, and entered into a curse, and into an oath, to walk in God’s law, which was given by Moses the servant of God, and to observe and do all the commandments of the LORD our Lord, and his judgments and his statutes;

And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?

And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.

As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:

I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.

Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?

And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.

Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.

Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.

Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me: then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from the great transgression.

Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.

Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favour my righteous cause: yea, let them say continually, Let the LORD be magnified, which hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.

And hide not thy face from thy servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.

He chose David also his servant, and took him from the sheepfolds:

Preserve my soul; for I am holy: O thou my God, save thy servant that trusteth in thee.

Rejoice the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul.

O turn unto me, and have mercy upon me; give thy strength unto thy servant, and save the son of thine handmaid.

I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,

I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob his chosen.

He sent a man before them, even Joseph, who was sold for a servant:

He sent Moses his servant; and Aaron whom he had chosen.

For he remembered his holy promise, and Abraham his servant.

Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

O LORD, truly I am thy servant; I am thy servant, and the son of thine handmaid: thou hast loosed my bonds.

Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.

Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.

Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.

Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word.

Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.

How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.

Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes.

I am thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies.

Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.

Thy word is very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.

I have gone astray like a lost sheep; seek thy servant; for I do not forget thy commandments.

For thy servant David’s sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.

Even an heritage unto Israel his servant: for his mercy endureth for ever.

And enter not into judgment with thy servant: for in thy sight shall no man living be justified.

And of thy mercy cut off mine enemies, and destroy all them that afflict my soul: for I am thy servant.

It is he that giveth salvation unto kings: who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.

He that troubleth his own house shall inherit the wind: and the fool shall be servant to the wise of heart.

He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread.

The king’s favour is toward a wise servant: but his wrath is against him that causeth shame.

A wise servant shall have rule over a son that causeth shame, and shall have part of the inheritance among the brethren.

Delight is not seemly for a fool; much less for a servant to have rule over princes.

The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.

A servant will not be corrected by words: for though he understand he will not answer.

He that delicately bringeth up his servant from a child shall have him become his son at the length.

Accuse not a servant unto his master, lest he curse thee, and thou be found guilty.

For a servant when he reigneth; and a fool when he is filled with meat;

Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee:

And the LORD said, Like as my servant Isaiah hath walked naked and barefoot three years for a sign and wonder upon Egypt and upon Ethiopia;

And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkiah:

And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of usury, so with the giver of usury to him.

For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.

But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend.

Thou whom I have taken from the ends of the earth, and called thee from the chief men thereof, and said unto thee, Thou art my servant; I have chosen thee, and not cast thee away.

Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD’s servant?

Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the LORD’s servant?

Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen: that ye may know and believe me, and understand that I am he: before me there was no God formed, neither shall there be after me.

Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen:

Thus saith the LORD that made thee, and formed thee from the womb, which will help thee; Fear not, O Jacob, my servant; and thou, Jesurun, whom I have chosen.

Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.

Remember these, O Jacob and Israel; for thou art my servant: I have formed thee; thou art my servant: O Israel, thou shalt not be forgotten of me.

That confirmeth the word of his servant, and performeth the counsel of his messengers; that saith to Jerusalem, Thou shalt be inhabited; and to the cities of Judah, Ye shall be built, and I will raise up the decayed places thereof:

For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel mine elect, I have even called thee by thy name: I have surnamed thee, though thou hast not known me.

Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the Chaldeans, with a voice of singing declare ye, tell this, utter it even to the end of the earth; say ye, The LORD hath redeemed his servant Jacob.

And said unto me, Thou art my servant, O Israel, in whom I will be glorified.

And now, saith the LORD that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, Though Israel be not gathered, yet shall I be glorious in the eyes of the LORD, and my God shall be my strength.

And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth.

Thus saith the LORD, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers, Kings shall see and arise, princes also shall worship, because of the LORD that is faithful, and the Holy One of Israel, and he shall choose thee.

Who is among you that feareth the LORD, that obeyeth the voice of his servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? let him trust in the name of the LORD, and stay upon his God.

Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.

He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.

Is Israel a servant? is he a homeborn slave? why is he spoiled?

Behold, I will send and take all the families of the north, saith the LORD, and Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all these nations round about, and will utterly destroy them, and make them an astonishment, and an hissing, and perpetual desolations.

And now have I given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant; and the beasts of the field have I given him also to serve him.

Therefore fear thou not, O my servant Jacob, saith the LORD; neither be dismayed, O Israel: for, lo, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and shall be in rest, and be quiet, and none shall make him afraid.

Then may also my covenant be broken with David my servant, that he should not have a son to reign upon his throne; and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.

As the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured: so will I multiply the seed of David my servant, and the Levites that minister unto me.

Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them.

But ye turned and polluted my name, and caused every man his servant, and every man his handmaid, whom ye had set at liberty at their pleasure, to return, and brought them into subjection, to be unto you for servants and for handmaids.

And say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will send and take Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, my servant, and will set his throne upon these stones that I have hid; and he shall spread his royal pavilion over them.

But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for, behold, I will save thee from afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make him afraid.
