Lexicon :: Strong's G1377 - diōkō

“The enemy ^H340 said ^H559, ‘I will pursue ^H7291, I will overtake ^H5381, I will divide ^H2505 the spoils ^H7998;

[fn]I shall [fn]be satisfied ^H4390 against them;

I will draw ^H7324 my sword ^H2719, my hand ^H3027 will [fn]destroy ^H3423 them.’

“How ^H351 could one ^H259 chase ^H7291 a thousand ^H505,

And two ^H8147 put ^H5127 ten ^H7233 thousand ^H7233 to ^H5127 flight ^H5127,

Unless ^{H518 H3808 H3588} their Rock ^H6697 had sold ^H4376 them,

And the LORD ^H3068 had given ^H5462 them up ^H5462?

Then Joab ^H3097 blew ^H8628 the trumpet ^H7782, and the people ^H5971 returned ^H7725 from pursuing ^H7291 Israel ^H3478, for Joab ^H3097 restrained ^H2820 the people ^H5971.

“I pursued ^H7291 my enemies ^H340 and eliminated ^H8045 them,

And I did not turn ^H7725 back ^H7725 until ^H5704 they were finished ^H3615 off ^H3615.

When Ahaziah ^H274 the king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 saw ^H7200 this, he fled ^H5127 by way ^H1870 of the garden ^H1588 house ^H1004. But Jehu ^H3058 pursued ^H7291 him and said ^H559, “[fn]Shoot ^H5221 him too ^H1571, in the chariot ^H4818.” So they shot him at the ascent ^H4608 of Gur ^H1483, which ^H834 is at Ibleam ^H2991. But he fled ^H5127 to Megiddo ^H4023 and died ^H4191 there ^H8033.

“Why ^H4100 do you persecute ^H7291 me as God ^H410 does,

And are ^H7646 not satisfied ^H7646 with my flesh ^H1320?

A [fn]Shiggaion of David, which he sang to the LORD [fn]concerning Cush, a Benjaminite.

O LORD ^H3068 my God ^H430, in You I have taken ^H2620 refuge ^H2620;

Save ^H3467 me from all ^H3605 those who pursue ^H7291 me, and rescue ^H5337 me,

Turn ^H5493 from evil ^H7451 and do ^H6213 good ^H2896;

Seek ^H1245 peace ^H7965 and pursue ^H7291 it.

If ^H518 you are ^H2449 wise ^H2449, you are ^H2449 wise ^H2449 for yourself,

And if you scoff ^H3887, you alone ^H905 will [fn]suffer ^H5375 from it.

One who works ^H5647 his land ^H127 will have ^H7646 plenty ^H7646 of bread ^H3899,

But one who pursues ^H7291 worthless ^H7386 things lacks ^H2638 [fn]sense ^H3820.

The way ^H1870 of the wicked ^H7563 is an abomination ^H8441 to the LORD ^H3068,

But He loves ^H157 the one who pursues ^H7291 righteousness ^H6666.

The acquisition ^H6466 of treasures ^H214 by a lying ^H8267 tongue ^H3956

Is a fleeting ^H5086 vapor ^H1892, the [fn]pursuit ^H1245 of death ^H4194.

The wicked ^H7563 flee ^H5127 when no ^H369 one ^H369 is pursuing ^H7291,

But the righteous ^H6662 are ^H982 [fn]bold ^H982 as a lion ^H3715.

One who works ^H5647 his land ^H127 will have ^H7646 plenty ^H7646 of food ^H3899,

But one who follows ^H7291 empty ^H7386 pursuits will have ^H7646 plenty ^H7646 of poverty ^H7389.

Your rulers ^H8269 are rebels ^H5637

And companions ^H2270 of thieves ^H1590;

Everyone ^H3605 loves ^H157 a bribe ^H7810

And chases ^H7291 after gifts ^H8021.

They do not obtain ^H8199 justice ^H8199 for the [fn]orphan ^H3490,

Nor ^H3808 does the widow’s ^H490 case ^H7379 come ^H935 before ^H413 them.

Woe ^H1945 to those who rise ^H7925 early ^H7925 in the morning ^H1242 so that they may pursue ^H7291 intoxicating ^H7941 drink ^H7941,

Who stay ^H309 up ^H309 late ^H309 in the evening ^H5399 so that wine ^H3196 may inflame ^H1814 them!

And it will be that, like a hunted ^H5080 gazelle ^H6643,

Or like sheep ^H6629 with no ^H369 one ^H369 to gather ^H6908 them,

Each ^H376 of them will turn ^H6437 to his own people ^H5971,

And each ^H376 of them will flee ^H5127 to his own land ^H776.

“Let the [fn]outcasts ^H5080 of Moab ^H4124 stay ^H1481 with you;

Be a hiding ^H5643 place ^H5643 to them from the destroyer ^H7703.”

For the oppressor ^H4160 has come ^H656 to ^H656 an ^H656 end ^H656, destruction ^H7701 has ceased ^H3615,

Oppressors ^H7429 have been removed ^H8552 from the land ^H776.

“The cities ^H5892 [fn]of Aroer ^H6177 are abandoned ^H5800;

They will be for herds ^H5739 [fn]to lie ^H7257 down ^H7257 in,

And there ^H369 will ^H369 be ^H369 no ^H369 one ^H369 to frighten ^H2729 them.

The nations ^H3816 rumble ^H7582 on like the rumbling ^H7588 of many ^H7227 waters ^H4325,

But He will rebuke ^H1605 them, and they will flee ^H5127 far ^H4801 away ^H4801,

And be chased ^H7291 like chaff ^H4671 on the mountains ^H2022 before ^H6440 the wind ^H7307,

Or like whirling ^H1534 dust ^H1534 before ^H6440 a gale ^H5492.

And you said ^H559, “No ^H3808, for we will flee ^H5127 on horses ^H5483!”

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 you shall flee ^H5127!

“And we will ride ^H7392 on swift ^H7031 horses!”

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 those who pursue ^H7291 you shall be ^H7043 swift ^H7043.

His breath ^H7307 is like an overflowing ^H7857 river ^H5158,

Which reaches ^H2673 to the neck ^H6677,

To shake ^H5130 the nations ^H1471 back ^H5130 and ^H5130 forth ^H5130 in a [fn]sieve ^H5299,

And to put in the jaws ^H3895 of the peoples ^H5971 the bridle ^H7448 which leads ^H8582 astray ^H8582.

“He pursues ^H7291 them, passing ^H5674 on ^H5674 in safety ^H7965,

By a way ^H734 he had not been [fn]traversing ^H935 with his feet ^H7272.

“Listen ^H8085 to Me, you who pursue ^H7291 righteousness ^H6664,

Who seek ^H1245 the LORD ^H3068:

Look ^H5027 to the rock ^H6697 from which you were cut ^H2672,

And to the [fn]quarry ^H953 H4718 from which you were dug ^H5365.

Let those who persecute ^H7291 me be put ^H954 to ^H954 shame ^H954, but as for me, let me not be put ^H954 to ^H954 shame ^H954;

Let them be dismayed ^H2865, but let me not be dismayed ^H2865.

Bring ^H935 on them a day ^H3117 of disaster ^H7451,

And crush ^H7665 them with double ^H4932 destruction ^H7670!

But the LORD ^H3068 is with me like a powerful ^H6184 champion ^H1368;

Therefore ^H5921 H3651 my persecutors ^H7291 will stumble ^H3782 and not prevail ^H3201.

They will be put ^H954 to ^H954 great ^H3966 shame ^H954 because ^H3588 they have [fn]failed ^H3808 H7919,

An everlasting ^H5769 disgrace ^H3639 that will not be forgotten ^H7911.
