Lexicon :: Strong's G1377 - diōkō

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

My [fn]desire ^H5315 shall be fulfilled ^H4390 against them;

I will draw ^H7324 out ^H7324 my sword ^H2719, my hand ^H3027 will dispossess ^H3423 them.’

“How ^H351 could one ^H259 pursue ^H7291 one 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 Yahweh ^H3068 had handed ^H5462 them over?

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 destroyed ^H8045 them,

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

And Ahaziah ^H274 the king ^H4428 of Judah ^H3063 saw ^H7200 this and fled ^H5127 by the way ^H1870 of the garden ^H1588 house ^H1004. And Jehu ^H3058 pursued ^H7291 him and said ^H559, “Strike ^H5221 him down too ^H1571, in the chariot ^H4818.” So they struck him down 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 Yahweh ^H3068 concerning the words of Cush, a Benjamite.

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

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

Samekh

Depart ^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 bear ^H5375 it.

He who cultivates ^H5647 his land ^H127 will be ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646 with bread ^H3899,

But he who pursues ^H7291 empty ^H7386 things lacks ^H2638 a heart ^H3820 of wisdom.

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

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

Working ^H6466 for treasures ^H214 by a lying ^H8267 tongue ^H3956

Is a fleeting ^H5086 breath ^H1892, by those who pursue ^H1245 death ^H4194.

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

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

He who cultivates ^H5647 his ground ^H127 will be satisfied ^H7646 with food ^H3899,

But he who pursues ^H7291 empty ^H7386 things will be ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646 with poverty ^H7389.

Your rulers ^H8269 are rebels ^H5637

And companions ^H2270 of thieves ^H1590;

Everyone ^H3605 loves ^H157 a bribe ^H7810

And pursues ^H7291 rewards ^H8021.

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

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

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

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

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

Or like sheep ^H6629 with none ^H369 to gather ^H6908 them,

They will each ^H376 turn ^H6437 to his own people ^H5971,

And each ^H376 one ^H376 flee ^H5127 to his own land ^H776.

“Let the [fn]banished ^H5080 of Moab ^H4124 sojourn ^H1481 with you;

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

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

Oppressors ^H7429 have completely ^H8552 disappeared from the land ^H776.

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

They will be for flocks ^H5739, and they will lie ^H7257 down ^H7257 in them;

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

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 pursued ^H7291 like chaff ^H4671 in the mountains ^H2022 before ^H6440 the wind ^H7307,

Or like whirling ^H1534 dust ^H1534 before ^H6440 a whirlwind ^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 torrent ^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 of worthlessness ^H7723,

And to put in the jaws ^H3895 of the peoples ^H5971 the bridle ^H7448 which staggers ^H8582 one to ruin ^H8582.

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

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

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

Who seek ^H1245 Yahweh ^H3068:

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

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

Let those who pursue ^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 calamity ^H7451,

And [fn]crush ^H7665 them with twofold ^H4932 [fn]crushing ^H7670!

But Yahweh ^H3068 is with me like a ruthless ^H6184 mighty ^H1368 one ^H1368;

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

They will be ^H954 utterly ^H3966 ashamed ^H954, because ^H3588 they have not ^H3808 prospered ^H7919,

With an everlasting ^H5769 dishonor ^H3639 that will not be forgotten ^H7911.
