Psalm 91:5-10 Amplified Bible (AMP)


You will not be afraid of the terror of night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,

Nor of the pestilence that stalks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction (sudden death) that lays waste at noon.

A thousand may fall at your side
And ten thousand at your right hand,
But danger will not come near you.

You will only [be a spectator as you] look on with your eyes
And witness the [divine] repayment of the wicked [as you watch safely from the shelter of the Most High].

Because you have made the Lord, [who is] my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
10 
No evil will befall you,
Nor will any plague come near your tent

1 Samuel 12:13-16 Names of God Bible (NOG)

The New Kingship

13 “Now, here is the king you have chosen, the one you asked for. See, Yahweh has put a king over you. 14 If you fear Yahweh, serve him, obey him, and don’t rebel against what Yahweh says, then you and your king will follow Yahweh your Elohim15 But if you don’t obey Yahweh, if you rebel against what Yahweh says, then Yahweh will be against you as he was against your ancestors. 16 Now then, stand still and watch this great thing Yahweh is going to do right before your eyes.

Deuteronomy 15:2-11 Names of God Bible (NOG)

This is what you will do: If you’ve made a loan, don’t collect payment on the debt your neighbor still owes you. Don’t demand that your neighbor or relative pay you, because the time for suspending payments on debts has been proclaimed in Yahweh’s honor. You may demand that a foreigner pay, but don’t collect payment on the debt another Israelite still owes you. In any case, there shouldn’t be any poor people among you, because Yahweh your Elohim will certainly bless you in the land he is giving you as your own possession. He will bless you only if you listen carefully to Yahweh your Elohim and faithfully obey all these commands I’m giving you today. Yahweh your Elohim will bless you, as he promised. You will make loans to many nations, but you will not have to borrow from any of them. You will rule many nations, but no nation will ever rule you.

This is what you must do whenever there are poor Israelites in one of your cities in the land that Yahweh your Elohim is giving you. Be generous to these poor people, and freely lend them as much as they need. Never be hard-hearted and tight-fisted with them.[a]

When the seventh year—the year when payments on debts are canceled—is near, you might be stingy toward poor Israelites and give them nothing. Be careful not to think these worthless thoughts. The poor will complain to Yahweh about you, and you will be condemned for your sin. 10 Be sure to give to them without any hesitation. When you do this, Yahweh your Elohim will bless you in everything you work for and set out to do. 11 There will always be poor people in the land. That’s why I command you to be generous to other Israelites who are poor and needy.

Psalm 50:12-23 Names of God Bible (NOG)

12 If I were hungry, I would not tell you,
    because the world and all that it contains are mine.
13 Do I eat the meat of bulls or drink the blood of goats?
14 Bring your thanks to Elohim as a sacrifice,
    and keep your vows to Elyon.
15 Call on me in times of trouble.
    I will rescue you, and you will honor me.”

16 But Elohim says to wicked people,
    “How dare you quote my decrees
        and mouth my promises![a]
17 You hate discipline.
    You toss my words behind you.
18 When you see a thief, you want to make friends with him.
    You keep company with people who commit adultery.
19 You let your mouth say anything evil.
    Your tongue plans deceit.
20 You sit and talk against your own brother.
    You slander your own mother’s son.
21 When you did these things, I remained silent.
    That made you think I was like you.
        I will argue my point with you
            and lay it all out for you to see.
22 Consider this, you people who forget Eloah.
    Otherwise, I will tear you to pieces,
        and there will be no one left to rescue you.
23 Whoever offers thanks as a sacrifice honors me.
    I will let everyone who continues in my way
        see the salvation that comes from Elohim.”

Job 20:2-7 Names of God Bible (NOG)

“My disturbing thoughts make me answer,
    and because of them I am upset.
        I have heard criticism that makes me ashamed,
            but a spirit beyond my understanding gives me answers.

A Wicked Person’s Joy Is Short, His Pain Long

“Don’t you know
    that from ancient times,
        from the time humans were placed on earth,
            the triumph of the wicked is short-lived,
                and the joy of the godless person lasts only a moment?
If his height reaches to the sky
    and his head touches the clouds,
        he will certainly rot[a] like his own feces.
    Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’

Luke 12:4-12 Names of God Bible (NOG)

“My friends, I can guarantee that you don’t need to be afraid of those who kill the body. After that they can’t do anything more. I’ll show you the one you should be afraid of. Be afraid of the one who has the power to throw you into hell after killing you. I’m warning you to be afraid of him.

“Aren’t five sparrows sold for two cents? God doesn’t forget any of them. Even every hair on your head has been counted. Don’t be afraid! You are worth more than many sparrows. I can guarantee that the Son of Man will acknowledge in front of God’s angels every person who acknowledges him in front of others. But God’s angels will be told that I don’t know those people who tell others that they don’t know me. 10 Everyone who says something against the Son of Man will be forgiven. But the person who dishonors the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven.

11 “When you are put on trial in synagogues or in front of rulers and authorities, don’t worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say. 12 At that time the Holy Spirit will teach you what you must say.”

Philemon 8-14 Names of God Bible (NOG)

Paul’s Advice about Onesimus

Christ makes me bold enough to order you to do the right thing. However, I would prefer to make an appeal on the basis of love. I, Paul, as an old man and now a prisoner for Christ Yeshua10 appeal to you for my child Onesimus [Useful]. I became his spiritual father here in prison. 11 Once he was useless to you, but now he is very useful to both of us.

12 I am sending him back to you. This is like sending you a part of myself. 13 I wanted to keep him here with me. Then he could have served me in your place while I am in prison for spreading the Good News. 14 Yet, I didn’t want to do anything without your consent. I want you to do this favor for me out of your own free will without feeling forced to do it.

1 Timothy 6:6-14 Names of God Bible (NOG)

A godly life brings huge profits to people who are content with what they have. We didn’t bring anything into the world, and we can’t take anything out of it. As long as we have food and clothes, we should be satisfied.

But people who want to get rich keep falling into temptation. They are trapped by many stupid and harmful desires which drown them in destruction and ruin. 10 Certainly, the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil. Some people who have set their hearts on getting rich have wandered away from the Christian faith and have caused themselves a lot of grief.

11 But you, man of God, must avoid these things. Pursue what God approves of: a godly life, faith, love, endurance, and gentleness. 12 Fight the good fight for the Christian faith. Take hold of everlasting life to which you were called and about which you made a good testimony in front of many witnesses.

13 In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and in the sight of Christ Yeshua, who gave a good testimony in front of Pontius Pilate, 14 I insist that, until our Lord Yeshua Christ appears, you obey this command completely. Then you cannot be blamed for doing anything wrong.

Hebrews 6:1-12 Names of God Bible (NOG) 6 With this in mind, we should stop going over the elementary truths about Christ and move on to topics for more mature people. We shouldn’t repeat the basics about turning away from the useless things we did and the basics about faith in God. 2 We shouldn’t repeat the basic teachings about such things as baptisms, setting people apart for holy tasks, dead people coming back to life, and eternal judgment. 3 If God permits, we will do this. 4 Some people once had God’s light. They experienced the heavenly gift and shared in the Holy Spirit. 5 They experienced the goodness of God’s word and the powers of the world to come. 6 Yet, they have deserted Christ. They are crucifying the Son of God again and publicly disgracing him. Therefore, they cannot be led a second time to God. 7 God blesses the earth. So rain often falls on it, and it produces useful crops for farmers. 8 However, if the earth produces thorns and thistles, it is worthless and in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned. God Will Not Forget You 9 Dear friends, even though we say these things, we are still convinced that better things are in store for you and that they will save you. 10 God is fair. He won’t forget what you’ve done or the love you’ve shown for him. You helped his holy people, and you continue to help them. 11 We want each of you to prove that you’re working hard so that you will remain confident until the end. 12 Then, instead of being lazy, you will imitate those who are receiving the promises through faith and patience.

Zechariah 4:3-7 Names of God Bible (NOG)

There are also two olive trees beside it, one on the right of the bowl and the other on its left.”

I asked the angel who was speaking with me, “What do these things mean, sir?”

Then the angel asked me, “Don’t you know what they mean?”

“No, sir,” I answered.

Then he replied, “This is the word Yahweh spoke to Zerubbabel: You won’t succeed by might or by power, but by my Ruach, says Yahweh TsebaothWhat a high mountain you are! In front of Zerubbabel you will become a plain. He will bring out the topmost stone with shouts of ‘Blessings, blessings on it!’”

Haggai 2:4-9 Names of God Bible (NOG)

“But now, Zerubbabel, be strong,” declares Yahweh. “Chief Priest Joshua (son of Jehozadak), be strong. Everyone in the land, be strong,” declares Yahweh. “Work, because I am with you,” declares Yahweh Tsebaoth“This is the promise I made to you when you came out of Egypt. My Spirit remains with you. Don’t be afraid.

“This is what Yahweh Tsebaoth says: Once again, in a little while,[a] I am going to shake the sky and the earth, the sea and the dry land. I will shake all the nations, and the one whom all the nations desire will come. Then I will fill this house with glory, says Yahweh TsebaothThe silver is mine, and the gold is mine, declares Yahweh TsebaothThis new house will be more glorious than the former, declares Yahweh Tsebaoth. And in this place I will give them peace, declares Yahweh Tsebaoth.”

        may search for the Lord, declares the Lord.
18 He is the one who will do these things that have always been known!’

19 “So I’ve decided that we shouldn’t trouble non-Jewish people who are turning to God. 20 Instead, we should write a letter telling them to keep away from things polluted by false gods, from sexual sins, from eating the meat of strangled animals, and from eating bloody meat.

Ecclesiastes 1:3-8 Names of God Bible (NOG)

Life Is an Endless Circle

What do people gain from all their hard work under the sun?

Generations come, and generations go,
    but the earth lasts forever.
The sun rises, and the sun sets,
    and then it rushes back to the place where it will rise again.
The wind blows toward the south and shifts toward the north.
    Round and round it blows. It blows in a full circle.
All streams flow into the sea, but the sea is never full.
    The water goes back to the place where the streams began
        in order to start flowing again.

All of these sayings are worn-out phrases. They are more than anyone can express, comprehend, or understand.

Matthew 15:1-10 Names of God Bible (NOG)

Jesus Challenges the Pharisees’ Traditions

15 Then some Pharisees and experts in Moses’ Teachings came from Jerusalem to Yeshua. They asked, “Why do your disciples break the traditions of our ancestors? They do not wash their hands before they eat.”

He answered them, “Why do you break the commandment of God because of your traditions? For example, God said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Whoever curses father or mother must be put to death.’ But you say that whoever tells his father or mother, ‘I have given to God whatever support you might have received from me,’ does not have to honor his father. Because of your traditions you have destroyed the authority of God’s word. You hypocrites! Isaiah was right when he prophesied about you:

‘These people honor me with their lips,
    but their hearts are far from me.
Their worship of me is pointless,
    because their teachings are rules made by humans.’”

Job 23 Names of God Bible (NOG)

Job Speaks: Where Can I Find God?

23 Then Job replied to his friends,

“My complaint is bitter again today.
    I try hard to control my sighing.

“If only I knew where I could find God!
    I would go where he lives.
I would present my case to him.
    I would have a mouthful of arguments.
        I want to know the words he would use to answer me.
        I want to understand the things he would say to me.
            Would he sue me and hide behind great legal maneuvers?
            No, he certainly would press charges against me.
Then decent people could argue with him,
    and I would escape my judgment forever.
However, if I go east, he isn’t there.
    If I go west, I can’t find him.
If I go northward, where he is at work, I can’t observe him.
    If I turn southward, I can’t see him.
10 I can’t find him because he knows the road I take.
    When he tests me,
    I’ll come out as pure as gold.
11 I have followed his footsteps closely.
    I have stayed on his path and did not turn from it.
12 I have not left his commands behind.
    I have treasured his words in my heart.

God Is Against Me

13 “But God is one of a kind.
    Who can make him change his mind?
        He does whatever he wants!
14 He will carry out his orders concerning me
    as he does with so many other things.[a]
15 That is why I’m terrified of him.
    When I think of it, I’m afraid of him.
16 El has discouraged me.
    Shadday has filled me with terror.
17 But I am not silenced by the dark

Israel’s Past and Present Sins

20 On the tenth day of the fifth month in the seventh year, some of the leaders of Israel came to ask for Yahweh’s help. They sat in front of me.

Then Yahweh spoke his word to me. He said, “Son of man, speak to the leaders of Israel. Tell them, ‘This is what Adonay Yahweh says: Are you coming to ask me for help? As I live, declares Adonay Yahweh, you will not be allowed to ask me for help.’

Romans 8:7-14 Names of God Bible (NOG)

This is so because the corrupt nature has a hostile attitude toward God. It refuses to place itself under the authority of God’s standards because it can’t. Those who are under the control of the corrupt nature can’t please God. But if God’s Spirit lives in you, you are under the control of your spiritual nature, not your corrupt nature.

Whoever doesn’t have the Spirit of Christ doesn’t belong to him. 10 However, if Christ lives in you, your bodies are dead because of sin, but your spirits are alive because you have God’s approval. 11 Does the Spirit of the one who brought Yeshua back to life live in you? Then the one who brought Christ back to life will also make your mortal bodies alive by his Spirit who lives in you.

12 So, brothers and sisters, we have no obligation to live the way our corrupt nature wants us to live. 13 If you live by your corrupt nature, you are going to die. But if you use your spiritual nature to put to death the evil activities of the body, you will live. 14 Certainly, all who are guided by God’s Spirit are God’s children.
