Lexicon :: Strong's H7235 - rāḇâ

Now while Ezra ^H5830 was praying ^H6419 and making ^H3034 confession ^H3034, weeping ^H1058 and prostrating ^H5307 himself before ^H6440 the house ^H1004 of God ^H430, a very ^H3966 large ^H7227 assembly ^H6951, men ^H376, women ^H802, and children ^H3206, gathered ^H6908 to him from Israel ^H3478; for the people ^H5971 wept ^H1058 greatly ^H7235 H1059.

[fn]Now it came ^H1961 about ^H1961 that when ^H834 Sanballat ^H5571 heard ^H8085 that we were rebuilding ^H1129 the wall ^H2346, he became ^H2734 furious ^H2734 and very ^H7235 angry ^H3707, and he mocked ^H3932 the Jews ^H3064.

And so [fn]in Judah ^H3063 it was said ^H559:

“The strength ^H3581 of the burden ^H5449 bearers ^H5449 is failing ^H3782,

Yet there is much ^H7235 rubble ^H6083;

And we ourselves ^H587 are ^H3201 unable ^H3808 H3201

To rebuild ^H1129 the wall ^H2346.”

“You made ^H7235 their sons ^H1121 as numerous ^H7235 as the stars ^H3556 of heaven ^H8064,

And You brought ^H935 them into the land ^H776

Which ^H834 You had told ^H559 their fathers ^H1 to enter ^H935 and possess ^H3423.

“And its abundant ^H7235 produce ^H8393 is for the kings ^H4428

Whom ^H834 You have set ^H5414 over ^H5921 us because of our sins ^H2403;

They also rule ^H4910 over ^H5921 our bodies ^H1472

And over our cattle ^H929 as they please ^H7522,

So we are in great ^H1419 distress ^H6869.

“For He bruises ^H7779 me with a storm ^H8183

And multiplies ^H7235 my wounds ^H6482 without ^H2600 cause ^H2600.

‘You renew ^H2318 Your witnesses ^H5707 against ^H5048 me

And increase ^H7235 Your anger ^H3708 toward ^H5973 me;

[fn]Hardship ^H2487 after hardship ^H6635 is with me.

Though ^H518 his sons ^H1121 are ^H7235 many ^H7235, [fn]they are destined for the sword ^H2719;

And his descendants ^H6631 will not be ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646 with bread ^H3899.

“Then I [fn]thought ^H559, ‘I will die ^H1478 with my [fn]family ^H7064,

And I will multiply ^H7235 my days ^H3117 as the sand ^H2344.

“Behold ^H2005, let me respond ^H6030 to you, you are ^H6663 not right ^H6663 in this ^H2088,

For God ^H433 is ^H7235 greater ^H7235 than ^H4480 mankind ^H582.

‘For he adds ^H3254 rebellion ^H6588 to his sin ^H2403;

He claps ^H5606 his hands among ^H996 us,

And multiplies ^H7235 his words ^H561 against God ^H410.’”

“Their offspring ^H1121 become ^H2492 strong ^H2492, they grow ^H7235 up ^H7235 in the open ^H1250 field ^H1250;

They leave ^H3318 and do not return ^H7725 to them.

“Will he make ^H7235 many ^H7235 pleas ^H8469 to you,

Or ^H518 will he speak ^H1696 to you gentle ^H7390 words ^H1697?

[fn]The pains ^H6094 of those who have acquired ^H4117 another ^H312 god will be multiplied ^H7235;

I will not pour ^H5258 out ^H5258 their drink ^H5262 offerings ^H5262 of blood ^H1818,

Nor ^H1077 will I take ^H5375 their names ^H8034 upon my lips ^H8193.

You have also given ^H5414 me the shield ^H4043 of Your salvation ^H3468,

And Your right ^H3225 hand ^H3225 upholds ^H5582 me;

And Your [fn]gentleness ^H6038 makes ^H7235 me great ^H7235.

You sell ^H4376 Your people ^H5971 [fn]cheaply ^H3808 H1952,

And have not [fn]profited ^H7235 by their sale ^H4242.

Do not be ^H3372 afraid ^H3372 when ^H3588 a person ^H376 becomes ^H6238 rich ^H6238,

When ^H3588 the splendor ^H3519 of his house ^H1004 is increased ^H7235;

Wash ^H3526 me thoroughly ^H7235 from my guilt ^H5771

And cleanse ^H2891 me from my sin ^H2403.

May You increase ^H7235 my greatness ^H1420

And turn ^H5437 to comfort ^H5162 me.

But He, being compassionate ^H7349, [fn]forgave ^H3722 their wrongdoing ^H5771 and did not destroy ^H7843 them;

And often ^H7235 He [fn]restrained ^H7725 His anger ^H639

And did not stir ^H5782 up ^H5782 all ^H3605 His wrath ^H2534.

He also blesses ^H1288 them and they multiply ^H7235 greatly ^H3966,

And He does not let their cattle ^H929 decrease ^H4591.

Israel ^H3478, wait ^H3176 for the LORD ^H3068;

For with the LORD ^H3068 there is mercy ^H2617,

And with Him is abundant ^H7235 redemption ^H6304.

Were I to count ^H5608 them, they would outnumber ^H7235 the sand ^H2344.

When I awake ^H6974, I am still ^H5750 with You.

Listen ^H8085, my son ^H1121, and accept ^H3947 my sayings ^H561,

And the years ^H8141 of your life ^H2416 will be ^H7235 many ^H7235.

He will not [fn]accept ^H5375 H6440 any ^H3605 settlement ^H3724,

Nor ^H3808 will he be [fn]satisfied ^H14 though ^H3588 you make ^H7235 it a large ^H7235 gift ^H7810.

For by me your days ^H3117 will be multiplied ^H7235,

And years ^H8141 of life ^H2416 will be added ^H3254 to you.

Wealth ^H1952 obtained from [fn]nothing ^H1892 dwindles ^H4591,

But one who gathers ^H6908 [fn]by labor ^H3027 increases ^H7235 it.

One who oppresses ^H6231 the poor ^H1800 to make ^H7235 [fn]more ^H7235 for himself,

Or gives ^H5414 to the rich ^H6223, will only ^H389 come to poverty ^H4270.

It is not good ^H2896 to eat ^H398 much ^H7235 honey ^H1706,

Nor ^H3808 is it glory ^H3519 to search ^H2714 out ^H2714 [fn]one’s own glory ^H3519.

One who increases ^H7235 his wealth ^H1952 by [fn]interest ^H5392 H8636 of any kind,

Collects ^H6908 it for one who is gracious ^H2603 to the poor ^H1800.

When the wicked ^H7563 rise ^H6965, people ^H120 hide ^H5641 themselves;

But when they perish ^H6, the righteous ^H6662 increase ^H7235.

When the righteous ^H6662 [fn]increase ^H7235, the people ^H5971 rejoice ^H8055,

But when a wicked ^H7563 person ^H7563 rules ^H4910, people ^H5971 groan ^H584.

When the wicked ^H7563 [fn]increase ^H7235, wrongdoing ^H6588 increases ^H7235;

But the righteous ^H6662 will see ^H7200 their downfall ^H4658.

I [fn]said ^H1696 to myself ^H3820, “Behold ^H2009, I have magnified ^H1431 and increased ^H3254 wisdom ^H2451 more ^H5921 than ^H5921 all ^H3605 who ^H834 were over ^H5921 Jerusalem ^H3389 before ^H6440 me; and my [fn]mind ^H3820 has observed ^H7200 [fn]a wealth ^H7235 of wisdom ^H2451 and knowledge ^H1847.”
