Daily Devotional 1 Year Bible JUD_14:8 And after a time he returned to take her, and he turned aside to see the carcase of the lion: and, behold, [there was] a swarm of bees and honey in the carcase of the lion. JUD_14:9 And he took thereof in his hands, and went on eating, and came to his father and mother, and he gave them, and they did eat: but he told not them that he had taken the honey out of the carcase of the lion. JUD_14:10 So his father went down unto the woman: and Samson made there a feast; for so used the young men to do. JUD_14:11 And it came to pass, when they saw him, that they brought thirty companions to be with him. JUD_14:12 And Samson said unto them, I will now put forth a riddle unto you: if ye can certainly declare it me within the seven days of the feast, and find [it] out, then I will give you thirty sheets and thirty change of garments: JUD_14:13 But if ye cannot declare [it] me, then shall ye give me thirty sheets and thirty change of garments. And they said unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we may hear it. JUD_14:14 And he said unto them, Out of the eater came forth meat, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not in three days expound the riddle. JUD_14:15 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that they said unto Samson's wife, Entice thy husband, that he may declare unto us the riddle, lest we burn thee and thy father's house with fire: have ye called us to take that we have? [is it] not [so]? JUD_14:16 And Samson's wife wept before him, and said, Thou dost but hate me, and lovest me not: thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, and hast not told [it] me. And he said unto her, Behold, I have not told [it] my father nor my mother, and shall I tell [it] thee? JUD_14:17 And she wept before him the seven days, while their feast lasted: and it came to pass on the seventh day, that he told her, because she lay sore upon him: and she told the riddle to the children of her people. JUD_14:18 And the men of the city said unto him on the seventh day before the sun went down, What [is] sweeter than honey? and what [is] stronger than a lion? And he said unto them, If ye had not plowed with my heifer, ye had not found out my riddle. JUD_14:19 And the spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house. JUD_14:20 But Samson's wife was [given] to his companion, whom he had used as his friend. JUD_15:1 But it came to pass within a while after, in the time of wheat harvest, that Samson visited his wife with a kid; and he said, I will go in to my wife into the chamber. But her father would not suffer him to go in. JUD_15:2 And her father said, I verily thought that thou hadst utterly hated her; therefore I gave her to thy companion: [is] not her younger sister fairer than she? take her, I pray thee, instead of her. JUD_15:3 And Samson said concerning them, Now shall I be more blameless than the Philistines, though I do them a displeasure. JUD_15:4 And Samson went and caught three hundred foxes, and took firebrands, and turned tail to tail, and put a firebrand in the midst between two tails. JUD_15:5 And when he had set the brands on fire, he let [them] go into the standing corn of the Philistines, and burnt up both the shocks, and also the standing corn, with the vineyards [and] olives. JUD_15:6 Then the Philistines said, Who hath done this? And they answered, Samson, the son in law of the Timnite, because he had taken his wife, and given her to his companion. And the Philistines came up, and burnt her and her father with fire. JUD_15:7 And Samson said unto them, Though ye have done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that I will cease. JUD_15:8 And he smote them hip and thigh with a great slaughter: and he went down and dwelt in the top of the rock Etam. JUD_15:9 Then the Philistines went up, and pitched in Judah, and spread themselves in Lehi. JUD_15:10 And the men of Judah said, Why are ye come up against us? And they answered, To bind Samson are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us. JUD_15:11 Then three thousand men of Judah went to the top of the rock Etam, and said to Samson, Knowest thou not that the Philistines [are] rulers over us? what [is] this [that] thou hast done unto us? And he said unto them, As they did unto me, so have I done unto them. JUD_15:12 And they said unto him, We are come down to bind thee, that we may deliver thee into the hand of the Philistines. And Samson said unto them, Swear unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourselves. JUD_15:13 And they spake unto him, saying, No; but we will bind thee fast, and deliver thee into their hand: but surely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with two new cords, and brought him up from the rock. JUD_15:14 [And] when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the spirit of the LORD came mightily upon him, and the cords that [were] upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands. JUD_15:15 And he found a new jawbone of an ass, and put forth his hand, and took it, and slew a thousand men therewith. JUD_15:16 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men. JUD_15:17 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi. JUD_15:18 And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised? JUD_15:19 But God clave an hollow place that [was] in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which [is] in Lehi unto this day. JUD_15:20 And he judged Israel in the days of the Philistines twenty years. JUD_16:1 Then went Samson to Gaza, and saw there an harlot, and went in unto her. JUD_16:2 [And it was told] the Gazites, saying, Samson is come hither. And they compassed [him] in, and laid wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were quiet all the night, saying, In the morning, when it is day, we shall kill him. JUD_16:3 And Samson lay till midnight, and arose at midnight, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and the two posts, and went away with them, bar and all, and put [them] upon his shoulders, and carried them up to the top of an hill that [is] before Hebron. JUD_16:4 And it came to pass afterward, that he loved a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name [was] Delilah. JUD_16:5 And the lords of the Philistines came up unto her, and said unto her, Entice him, and see wherein his great strength [lieth], and by what [means] we may prevail against him, that we may bind him to afflict him: and we will give thee every one of us eleven hundred [pieces] of silver. JUD_16:6 And Delilah said to Samson, Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength [lieth], and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee. JUD_16:7 And Samson said unto her, If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man. JUD_16:8 Then the lords of the Philistines brought up to her seven green withs which had not been dried, and she bound him with them. JUD_16:9 Now [there were] men lying in wait, abiding with her in the chamber. And she said unto him, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And he brake the withs, as a thread of tow is broken when it toucheth the fire. So his strength was not known. JUD_16:10 And Delilah said unto Samson, Behold, thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: now tell me, I pray thee, wherewith thou mightest be bound. JUD_16:11 And he said unto her, If they bind me fast with new ropes that never were occupied, then shall I be weak, and be as another man. JUD_16:12 Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And [there were] liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake them from off his arms like a thread. JUD_16:13 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven locks of my head with the web. JUD_16:14 And she fastened [it] with the pin, and said unto him, The Philistines [be] upon thee, Samson. And he awaked out of his sleep, and went away with the pin of the beam, and with the web. LUK_20:12 And again he sent a third: and they wounded him also, and cast [him] out. LUK_20:13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What shall I do? I will send my beloved son: it may be they will reverence [him] when they see him. LUK_20:14 But when the husbandmen saw him, they reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the heir: come, let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. LUK_20:15 So they cast him out of the vineyard, and killed [him]. What therefore shall the lord of the vineyard do unto them? LUK_20:16 He shall come and destroy these husbandmen, and shall give the vineyard to others. And when they heard [it], they said, God forbid. LUK_20:17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner? LUK_20:18 Whosoever shall fall upon that stone shall be broken; but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. LUK_20:19 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them. LUK_20:20 And they watched [him], and sent forth spies, which should feign themselves just men, that they might take hold of his words, that so they might deliver him unto the power and authority of the governor. LUK_20:21 And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person [of any], but teachest the way of God truly: LUK_20:22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Caesar, or no? LUK_20:23 But he perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye me? LUK_20:24 Shew me a penny. Whose image and superscription hath it? They answered and said, Caesar's. LUK_20:25 And he said unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's. LUK_20:26 And they could not take hold of his words before the people: and they marvelled at his answer, and held their peace. LUK_20:27 Then came to [him] certain of the Sadducees, which deny that there is any resurrection; and they asked him, LUK_20:28 Saying, Master, Moses wrote unto us, If any man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without children, that his brother should take his wife, and raise up seed unto his brother. LUK_20:29 There were therefore seven brethren: and the first took a wife, and died without children. LUK_20:30 And the second took her to wife, and he died childless. LUK_20:31 And the third took her; and in like manner the seven also: and they left no children, and died. LUK_20:32 Last of all the woman died also. LUK_20:33 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife of them is she? for seven had her to wife. PSA_54:1 To the chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, [A Psalm] of David, when the Ziphims came and said to Saul, Doth not David hide himself with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy strength. PSA_54:2 Hear my prayer, O God; give ear to the words of my mouth. PSA_54:3 For strangers are risen up against me, and oppressors seek after my soul: they have not set God before them. Selah. PSA_54:4 Behold, God [is] mine helper: the Lord [is] with them that uphold my soul. PSA_54:5 He shall reward evil unto mine enemies: cut them off in thy truth. PSA_54:6 I will freely sacrifice unto thee: I will praise thy name, O LORD; for [it is] good. PSA_54:7 For he hath delivered me out of all trouble: and mine eye hath seen [his desire] upon mine enemies. PRO_12:5 The thoughts of the righteous [are] right: [but] the counsels of the wicked [are] deceit. PRO_12:6 The words of the wicked [are] to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. MARJ_3:27 No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his house. MARJ_3:28 Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme: MARJ_3:29 But he that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation: MARJ_3:33 Who is my mother, or my brethren? MARJ_3:34 Behold my mother and my brethren! MARJ_3:35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
