Isaiah 52:3 For thus saith the Lord, Ye have been sold for nought; and ye shall not be ransomed with silver. Thus saith the Lord, My people went down before to Egypt to sojourn there; and were carried away forcibly to the Assyrians. And now why are ye here? Thus saith the Lord, Because my people was taken for nothing, wonder ye and howl. Thus saith the Lord, On account of you my name is continually blasphemed among the Gentiles.
Malachi 1:9 And now intreat the face of your God, and make supplication to him. These things have been done by your hands; shall I accept you? saith the Lord Almighty. Because even among you the doors shall be shut, and one will not kindle the fire of mine altar for nothing, I have no pleasure in you, saith the Lord Almighty, and I will not accept a sacrifice at your hands. For from the rising of the sun even to the going down thereof my name has been glorified among the Gentiles; and in every place incense is offered to my name, and a pure offering: for my name is great among the Gentiles, saith the Lord Almighty.
Psalms 95:2 Sing to the Lord, bless his name: proclaim his salvation from day to day. Publish his glory among the Gentiles, his wonderful works among all people. For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised: he is terrible above all gods.
Micah 5:5 And they shall tend the Assyrian with a sword, and the land of Nebrod with her trench: and he shall deliver you from the Assyrian, when he shall come upon your land, and when he shall invade your coasts. And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many peoples, as dew falling from the Lord, and as lambs on the grass; that none may assemble nor resist among the sons of men. And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the Gentiles in the midst of many nations, as a lion in the forest among cattle, and as a lion's whelp among flocks of sheep, even as when he goes through, and selects, and carries off his prey, and there is none to deliver.
Psalms 17:50 Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name. God magnifies the deliverances of his king; and deals mercifully with David his anointed, and his seed, for ever.
Deuteronomy 29:14 but to those also who are here with you to-day before the Lord your God, and to those who are not here with you to-day.

And ye beheld their abominations, and their idols, wood and stone, silver and gold, which are among them.
Psalms 56:10 O Lord, I will give thanks to thee among the nations: I will sing to thee among the Gentiles. For thy mercy has been magnified even to the heavens, and thy truth to the clouds. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.
Psalms 107:4 I will give thanks to thee, O Lord, among the people; I will sing praise to thee among the Gentiles. For thy mercy is great above the heavens, and thy truth reaches to the clouds. Be thou exalted, O God, above the heavens; and thy glory above all the earth.
2Samuel 22:50 Therefore will I confess to thee, O Lord, among the Gentiles, and sing to thy name. He magnifies the salvation of his king, and works mercy for his anointed, even for David and for his seed for ever.

Isaiah 12:2 Behold, my God is my Saviour; I will trust in him, and not be afraid: for the Lord is my glory and my praise, and is become my salvation. Draw ye therefore water with joy out of the wells of salvation. And in that day thou shalt say, Sing to the Lord, call aloud upon his name, proclaim his glorious deeds among the Gentiles; make mention that his name is exalted.
Isaiah 55:4 Behold, I have made him a testimony among the Gentiles, a prince and commander to the Gentiles. Nations which know thee not, shall call upon thee, and peoples which are not acquainted with thee, shall flee to thee for refuge, for the sake of the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified thee. Seek ye the Lord, and when ye find him, call upon him; and when he shall draw nigh to you,
Isaiah 42:4 He shall shine out, and shall not be discouraged, until he have set judgment on the earth: and in his name shall the Gentiles trust. Thus saith the Lord God, who made the heaven, and established it; who settled the earth, and the things in it, and gives breath to the people on it, and spirit to them that tread on it: I the Lord God have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will strengthen thee: and I have given thee for the covenant of a race, for a light of the Gentiles;
Maccabees II 15:24 and through the might of thine arm let those be stricken with terror, that come against thy holy people to blaspheme. And he ended thus. Then Nicanor and they that were with him came forward with trumpets and songs. But Judas and his company encountered the enemies with invocation and prayer.
Ezekiel 20:22 But I wrought so that my name might not be at all profaned before the Gentiles; and I brought them out in their sight. I lifted up my hand against them in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the Gentiles, and disperse them in the countries; because they kept not mine ordinances, and rejected my commandments, and profaned my sabbaths, and their eyes went after the imaginations of their fathers.
Ezekiel 6:7 And slain men shall fall in the midst of you, and ye shall know that I am the Lord. When there are some of you escaping from the sword among the Gentiles, and when ye are scattered in the countries; then they of you that escape among the nations whither they were carried captive shall remember me; (I have sworn an oath against their heart that goes a-whoring from me, and their eyes that go a-whoring after their practices;) and they shall mourn over themselves for all their abominations.
Maccabees IV 17:10 These also avenged their nation, looking unto God, and enduring torments unto death. For it was a truly divine contest which was carried through by them. For at that time virtue presided over the contest, approving the victory through endurance, namely, immortality, eternal life.
Joel 2:17 Between the porch and the altar let the priests that minister to the Lord weep, and say, Spare thy people, O Lord, and give not thine heritage to reproach, that the heathen should rule over them, lest they should say among the heathen, Where is their God?

Judith 8:21 For if we be taken so, all Judea shall lie waste, and our sanctuary shall be spoiled; and he will require the profanation thereof at our mouth. And the slaughter of our brethren, and the captivity of the country, and the desolation of our inheritance, will he turn upon our heads among the Gentiles, wheresoever we shall be in bondage; and we shall be an offence and a reproach to all them that possess us. For our servitude shall not be directed to favour; but the Lord our God shall turn it to dishonour.
Ezekiel 36:19 and I dispersed them among the nations, and utterly scattered them through the countries: I judged them according to their way and according to their sin. And they went in among the nations, among which they went, and they profaned my holy name, while it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and they came forth out of his land. But I spared them for the sake of my holy name, which the house of Israel profaned among the nations, among whom they went.
Joshua 23:7 that ye go not in among these nations that are left; and the names of their gods shall not be named among you, neither shall ye serve them, neither shall ye bow down to them.

Ezekiel 36:22 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus saith the Lord; I do not this, O house of Israel, for your sakes, but because of my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations, among whom ye went. And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the nations, which ye profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, when I am sanctified among you before their eyes. And I will take you out from the nations, and will gather you out of all the lands, and will bring you into your own land:
Jeremiah 36:8 For thus saith the Lord; Let not the false prophets that are among you persuade you, and let not your diviners persuade you, and hearken not to your dreams which ye dream. For they prophesy to you unrighteous words in my name; and I sent them not. For thus said the Lord; When seventy years shall be on the point of being accomplished at Babylon, I will visit you, and will confirm my words to you, to bring back your people to this place.
Lamentations 4:19 Our pursuers were swifter than the eagles of the sky, they flew on the mountains, in the wilderness they laid wait for us. Rechs. The breath of our nostrils, our anointed Lord, was taken in their destructive snares, of whom we said, In his shadow we shall live among the Gentiles. Chsen. Rejoice and be glad, O daughter of Idumea, that dwellest in the land: yet the cup of the Lord shall pass through to thee: thou shalt be drunken, and pour forth.
Maccabees IV 16:17 For it were disgraceful that this old man should endure pains for the sake of righteousness, and that you who are younger should be afraid of the tortures.

Amos 9:8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord God are upon the kingdom of sinners, and I will cut it off from the face of the earth; only I will not utterly cut off the house of Jacob, saith the Lord. For I will give commandment, and sift the house of Israel among all the Gentiles, as corn is sifted in a sieve, and yet a fragment shall not in any wise fall upon the earth. All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, who say, Calamities shall certainly not draw near, nor come upon us.
Isaiah 61:7 Thus shall they inherit the land a second time, and everlasting joy shall be upon their head. For I am the Lord who love righteousness, and hate robberies of injustice; and I will give their labour to the just, and will make an everlasting covenant with them. And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring in the midst of peoples: every one that sees them shall take notice of them, that they are a seed blessed of God;
Jeremiah 14:21 Refrain for thy name's sake, destroy not the throne of thy glory: remember, break not thy covenant with us. Is there any one among the idols of the Gentiles that can give rain? and will the sky yield his fulness at their bidding? Art not thou he? we will even wait on thee, O Lord: for thou hast made all these things.
Maccabees II 9:26 Therefore I pray and request you to remember the benefits that I have done unto you generally, and in special, and that every man will be still faithful to me and my son.

Isaiah 62:1 For Sion's sake I will not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as light, and my salvation burn as a torch.

And thou shalt be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God.
Sirach 3:14 For the relieving of thy father shall not be forgotten: and instead of sins it shall be added to build thee up. In the day of thine affliction it shall be remembered; thy sins also shall melt away, as the ice in the fair warm weather.

Wisdom 14:9 For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both alike hateful unto God. For that which is made shall be punished together with him that made it. Therefore even upon the idols of the Gentiles shall there be a visitation: because in the creature of God they are become an abomination, and stumblingblocks to the souls of men, and a snare to the feet of the unwise.
1Samuel 9:2 And this man had a son, and his name was Saul, of great stature, a goodly man; and there was not among the sons of Israel a goodlier than he, high above all the people from his shoulders and upward. And the asses of Kis the father of Saul were lost; and Kis said to Saul his son, Take with thee one of the young men, and arise ye, and go and seek the asses. And they went through mount Ephraim, and they went through the land of Selcha, and found them not: and they passed through the land of Segalim, and they were not there: and they passed through the land of Jamin, and found them not.
Wisdom of Solomon 1:4 For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not enter: nor dwell in the body that is subject unto sin. For the holy spirit of discipline will flee deceit, and remove from thoughts that are without understanding, and will not abide when unrighteousness cometh in. For wisdom is a loving spirit; and will not acquit a blasphemer of his words: for God is witness of his reins, and a true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of his tongue.
Tobit 13:1 Then Tobit wrote a prayer of rejoicing, and said, Blessed be God that liveth for ever, and blessed be his kingdom.

Confess him before the Gentiles, ye children of Israel: for he hath scattered us among them.
Psalms 65:1 For the end, a Song of a Psalm of resurrection. Shout unto God, all the earth. O sing praises to his name; give glory to his praise. Say unto God, How awful are thy works! through the greatness of thy power thine enemies shall lie to thee.
2Chronicles 31:18 to assign stations for all the increase of their sons and their daughters, for the whole number: for they faithfully sanctified the holy place. As for the sons of Aaron that executed the priests' office,—even those from their cities, the men in each several city who were named expressly,—were appointed to give a portion to every male among the priests, and to every one reckoned among the Levites. And Ezekias did so through all Juda, and did that which was good and right before the Lord his God.
Exodus 34:12 take heed to thyself, lest at any time thou make a covenant with the dwellers on the land, into which thou art entering, lest it be to thee a stumbling-block among you. Ye shall destroy their altars, and break in pieces their pillars, and ye shall cut down their groves, and the graven images of their gods ye shall burn with fire. For ye shall not worship strange gods, for the Lord God, a jealous name, is a jealous God;
Psalms 65:6 Who turns the sea into dry land; they shall go through the river on foot; there shall we rejoice in him, who by his power is Lord over the age, his eyes look upon the nations; let not them that provoke him be exalted in themselves. Pause. Bless our God, ye Gentiles, and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
Psalms 53:1 For the end, among the Hymns of instruction by David, when the Ziphites came and said to Saul, Lo, is not David hid with us? Save me, O God, by thy name, and judge me by thy might.
Psalms 75:1 For the end, among the Hymns, a Psalm for Asaph; a Song for the Assyrian. God is known in Judea; his name is great in Israel. And his place has been in peace, and his dwelling-place in Sion.
Jeremiah 27:2 Proclaim ye among the Gentiles, and cause the tidings to be heard, and suppress them not: say ye, Babylon is taken, Belus is confounded; the fearless, the luxurious Mærodach is delivered up. For a nation has come up against her from the north, he shall utterly ravage her land, and there shall be none to dwell in it, neither man nor beast. In those days, and at that time, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Juda together; they shall proceed, weeping as they go, seeking the Lord their God.
Isaiah 8:9 Know, ye Gentiles, and be conquered; hearken ye, even to the extremity of the earth: be conquered, after ye have strengthened yourselves; for even if ye should again strengthen yourselves, ye shall again be conquered. And whatsoever counsel ye shall take, the Lord shall bring it to nought; and whatsoever word ye shall speak, it shall not stand among you: for God is with us. Thus saith the Lord, With a strong hand they revolt from the course of the way of this people, saying,
Isaiah 50:10 Who is among you that fears the Lord? let him hearken to the voice of his servant: ye that walk in darkness, and have no light, trust in the name of the Lord, and stay upon God. Behold, ye all kindle a fire, and feed a flame: walk in the light of your fire, and in the flame which ye have kindled. This has happened to you for my sake; ye shall lie down in sorrow.
Leviticus 26:11 And I will set my tabernacle among you, and my soul shall not abhor you; and I will walk among you, and be your God, and ye shall be my people.

Baruch 4:28 For as it was your mind to go astray from God: so, being returned, seek him ten times more. For he that hath brought these plagues upon you shall bring you everlasting joy again with your salvation. Take a good heart, O Jerusalem: for he that gave thee that name will comfort thee.
Isaiah 65:15 For ye shall leave your name for a loathing to my chosen, and the Lord shall destroy you: but my servants shall be called by a new name, which shall be blessed on the earth; for they shall bless the true God: and they that swear upon the earth shall swear by the true God; for they shall forget the former affliction, and it shall not come into their mind. For there shall be a new heaven and a new earth: and they shall not at all remember the former, neither shall they at all come into their mind.
