The LORD appeared to Abraham at the oaks of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance of his tent during the heat of the day.

When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to his steward, “Take the men to my house. Slaughter an animal and prepare it, for they will eat with me at noon.”

Since the men had heard that they were going to eat a meal there, they prepared their gift for Joseph’s arrival at noon.

“so that at noon you will grope as a blind person gropes in the dark. You will not be successful in anything you do. You will only be oppressed and robbed continually, and no one will help you.

Rechab and Baanah, the sons of Rimmon the Beerothite, set out and arrived at Ish-bosheth’s house during the heat of the day while the king was taking his midday nap.

So they took the bull that he gave them, prepared it, and called on the name of Baal from morning until noon, saying, “Baal, answer us! ” But there was no sound; no one answered. Then they danced[fn] around the altar they had made.

They marched out at noon while Ben-hadad and the thirty-two kings who were helping him were getting drunk in their quarters.

So he picked him up and took him to his mother. The child sat on her lap until noon and then died.

Your life will be brighter than noonday;

its darkness[fn] will be like the morning.

making your righteousness shine like the dawn,

your justice like the noonday.

I complain and groan morning, noon, and night,

and he hears my voice.

Tell me, you whom I love:

Where do you pasture your sheep?

Where do you let them rest at noon?

Why should I be like one who veils herself[fn]

beside the flocks of your companions?

For the LORD said to me:

I will quietly look out from my place,

like shimmering heat in sunshine,

like a rain cloud in harvest heat.

“and if you offer yourself[fn] to the hungry,

and satisfy the afflicted one,

then your light will shine in the darkness,

and your night will be like noonday.

We grope along a wall like the blind;

we grope like those without eyes.

We stumble at noon as though it were twilight;

we are like the dead among those who are healthy.

“Set them apart for war against her;

rise up, let’s attack at noon.

Woe to us, for the day is passing;

the evening shadows grow long.

“I made their widows more numerous

than the sand of the seas.

I brought a destroyer at noon

against the mother of young men.

I suddenly released on her

agitation and terrors.

Let that man be like the cities

the LORD demolished without compassion.

Let him hear an outcry in the morning

and a war cry at noontime

And in that day —

this is the declaration of the Lord GOD —

I will make the sun go down at noon;

I will darken the land in the daytime.

For Gaza will be abandoned,

and Ashkelon will become a ruin.

Ashdod will be driven out at noon,

and Ekron will be uprooted.
