Genesis 25:30He said to Jacob, “Let me eat some of that red stew, for I am famished.” (That is why he was also called Edom.)Genesis 25:31“First sell me your birthright,” Jacob replied.Genesis 25:32“Look,” said Esau, “I am about to die, so what good is a birthright to me?”Genesis 25:33“Swear to me first,” Jacob said. So Esau swore to Jacob and sold him the birthright.Genesis 25:34Then Jacob gave some bread and lentil stew to Esau, who ate and drank and then got up and went away. Thus Esau despised his birthright.Genesis 27:36So Esau declared, “Is he not rightly named Jacob? For he has cheated me twice. He took my birthright, and now he has taken my blessing.” Then he asked, “Haven’t you saved a blessing for me?”Genesis 30:37Jacob, however, took fresh branches of poplar, almond, and plane trees, and peeled the bark, exposing the white inner wood of the branches.Genesis 30:38Then he set the peeled branches in the watering troughs in front of the flocks coming in to drink. So when the flocks were in heat and came to drink,Genesis 30:39they mated in front of the branches. And they bore young that were streaked or speckled or spotted.Genesis 30:40Jacob set apart the young, but made the rest face the streaked dark-colored sheep in Laban’s flocks. Then he set his own stock apart and did not put them with Laban’s animals.Genesis 30:41Whenever the stronger females of the flock were in heat, Jacob would place the branches in the troughs, in full view of the animals, so that they would breed in front of the branches.Genesis 30:42But if the animals were weak, he did not set out the branches. So the weaker animals went to Laban and the stronger ones to Jacob.Genesis 30:43Thus Jacob became exceedingly prosperous. He owned large flocks, maidservants and menservants, and camels and donkeys.Genesis 37:26Then Judah said to his brothers, “What profit will we gain if we kill our brother and cover up his blood?Genesis 37:27Come, let us sell him to the Ishmaelites and not lay a hand on him; for he is our brother, our own flesh.” And they agreed.Numbers 11:33But while the meat was still between their teeth, before it was chewed, the anger of the LORD burned against the people, and the LORD struck them with a severe plague.Numbers 11:34So they called that place Kibroth-hattaavah, because there they buried the people who had craved other food.1 Samuel 2:12Now the sons of Eli were wicked men; they had no regard for the LORD1 Samuel 2:13or for the custom of the priests with the people. When any man offered a sacrifice, the servant of the priest would come with a three-pronged meat fork while the meat was boiling1 Samuel 2:14and plunge it into the pan or kettle or cauldron or cooking pot. And the priest would claim for himself whatever the meat fork brought up. This is how they treated all the Israelites who came to Shiloh.1 Samuel 2:15Even before the fat was burned, the servant of the priest would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give the priest some meat to roast, because he will not accept boiled meat from you, but only raw.”1 Samuel 2:16And if any man said to him, “The fat must be burned first; then you may take whatever you want,” the servant would reply, “No, you must give it to me right now. If you refuse, I will take it by force!”1 Samuel 2:17Thus the sin of these young men was severe in the sight of the LORD, for they were treating the LORD’s offering with contempt.1 Samuel 8:19Nevertheless, the people refused to listen to Samuel. “No!” they said. “We must have a king over us.1 Samuel 8:20Then we will be like all the other nations, with a king to judge us, to go out before us, and to fight our battles.”2 Kings 5:21So Gehazi pursued Naaman. And when Naaman saw him running toward him, he got down from the chariot to meet him and asked, “Is everything all right?”2 Kings 5:22“Everything is all right,” Gehazi replied. “My master has sent me to say, ‘Look, two young men from the sons of the prophets have just now come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two sets of clothing.’”2 Kings 5:23But Naaman insisted, “Please, take two talents.” And he urged Gehazi to accept them. Then he tied up two talents of silver in two bags along with two sets of clothing and gave them to two of his servants, who carried them ahead of Gehazi.2 Kings 5:24When Gehazi came to the hill, he took the gifts from the servants and stored them in the house. Then he dismissed the men, and they departed.2 Kings 5:25When Gehazi went in and stood before his master, Elisha asked him, “Gehazi, where have you been?” “Your servant did not go anywhere,” he replied.2 Kings 5:26But Elisha questioned him, “Did not my spirit go with you when the man got down from his chariot to meet you? Is this the time to accept money and clothing, olive groves and vineyards, sheep and oxen, menservants and maidservants?2 Kings 5:27Therefore, the leprosy of Naaman will cling to you and your descendants forever!” And as Gehazi left his presence, he was leprous—as white as snow.Job 20:4Do you not know that from antiquity, since man was placed on the earth,Job 20:5the triumph of the wicked has been brief and the joy of the godless momentary?Job 20:6Though his arrogance reaches the heavens, and his head touches the clouds,Job 20:7he will perish forever, like his own dung; those who had seen him will ask, ‘Where is he?’Job 20:8He will fly away like a dream, never to be found; he will be chased away like a vision in the night.Job 20:9The eye that saw him will see him no more, and his place will no longer behold him.Job 20:10His sons will seek the favor of the poor, for his own hands must return his wealth.Job 20:11The youthful vigor that fills his bones will lie down with him in the dust.Job 20:12Though evil is sweet in his mouth and he conceals it under his tongue,Job 20:13though he cannot bear to let it go and keeps it in his mouth,Job 20:14yet in his stomach his food sours into the venom of cobras within him.Job 20:15He swallows wealth but vomits it out; God will force it from his stomach.Job 20:16He will suck the poison of cobras; the fangs of a viper will kill him.Job 20:17He will not enjoy the streams, the rivers flowing with honey and cream.Job 20:18He must return the fruit of his labor without consuming it; he cannot enjoy the profits of his trading.Job 20:19For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor; he has seized houses he did not build.Job 20:20Because his appetite is never satisfied, he cannot escape with his treasure.Job 20:21Nothing is left for him to consume; thus his prosperity will not endure.Job 20:22In the midst of his plenty, he will be distressed; the full force of misery will come upon him.Job 20:23When he has filled his stomach, God will vent His fury upon him, raining it down on him as he eats.Job 20:24Though he flees from an iron weapon, a bronze-tipped arrow will pierce him.Job 20:25It is drawn out of his back, the gleaming point from his liver. Terrors come over him.Job 20:26Total darkness is reserved for his treasures. A fire unfanned will consume him and devour what is left in his tent.Job 20:27The heavens will expose his iniquity, and the earth will rise up against him.Job 20:28The possessions of his house will be removed, flowing away on the day of God’s wrath.Job 20:29This is the wicked man’s portion from God, the inheritance God has appointed him.”Job 21:11They send forth their little ones like a flock; their children skip about,Job 21:12singing to the tambourine and lyre and making merry at the sound of the flute.
