Lexicon :: Strong's G5147 - tribos

“Dan will be a snake by the road,

a viper beside the path,

that bites the horse’s heels

so that its rider falls backward.

In the days of Shamgar son of Anath,

in the days of Jael,

the main roads were deserted

because travelers kept to the side roads.

The cows went straight up the road to Beth-shemesh. They stayed on that one highway, lowing as they went; they never strayed to the right or to the left. The Philistine rulers were walking behind them to the territory of Beth-shemesh.

Now Amasa had been writhing in his blood in the middle of the highway, and the man had seen that all the troops stopped. So he moved Amasa from the highway to the field and threw a garment over him because he realized that all those who encountered Amasa were stopping.

A rope lies hidden for him on the ground,

and a snare waits for him along the path.

Will you continue on the ancient path

that wicked men have walked?

No bird of prey knows that path;

no falcon’s eye has seen it.

The rabble[fn] rise up at my right;

they trap[fn] my feet

and construct their siege ramp[fn] against me.

For he repays a person according to his deeds,

and he gives him what his conduct deserves.[fn]

so you can lead it back to its border?

Are you familiar with the paths to its home?

the birds of the sky,

and the fish of the sea

that pass through the currents of the seas.

My steps are on your paths;

my feet have not slipped.

Foreigners lose heart

and come trembling from their fortifications.

He renews my life;

he leads me along the right paths[fn]

for his name’s sake.

Make your ways known to me, LORD;

teach me your paths.

Because of my adversaries,

show me your way, LORD,

and lead me on a level path.

Our hearts have not turned back;

our steps have not strayed from your path.

Your way went through the sea

and your path through the vast water,

but your footprints were unseen.

Help me stay on the path of your commands,

for I take pleasure in it.

Your word is a lamp for my feet

and a light on my path.

Search me, God, and know my heart;

test me and know my concerns.

The proud hide a trap with ropes for me;

they spread a net along the path

and set snares for me.Selah

Although my spirit is weak within me,

you know my way.

Along this path I travel

they have hidden a trap for me.

my son, don’t travel that road with them

or set foot on their path,

whose paths are crooked,

and whose ways are devious.

None return who go to her;

none reach the paths of life.

Her ways are pleasant,

and all her paths, peaceful.

“I walk in the ways of righteousness,

along the paths of justice,

Foolishness brings joy to one without sense,

but a person with understanding walks a straight path.

The highway of the upright avoids evil;

the one who guards his way protects his life.

the way of an eagle in the sky,

the way of a snake on a rock,

the way of a ship at sea,

and the way of a man with a young woman.

Youths oppress my people,

and women rule over them.

My people, your leaders mislead you;

they confuse the direction of your paths.

“Get out of the way!

Leave the pathway.

Rid us of the Holy One of Israel.”

A voice of one crying out:

Prepare the way of the LORD in the wilderness;

make a straight highway for our God in the desert.

“I will lead the blind by a way they did not know;

I will guide them on paths they have not known.

I will turn darkness to light in front of them

and rough places into level ground.

This is what I will do for them,

and I will not abandon them.

This is what the LORD says —

who makes a way in the sea,

and a path through raging water,

saying to the prisoners, “Come out,”

and to those who are in darkness, “Show yourselves.”

They will feed along the pathways,

and their pastures will be on all the barren heights.

I will make all my mountains into a road,

and my highways will be raised up.

“Some of you will rebuild the ancient ruins;

you will restore the foundations laid long ago;

you will be called the repairer of broken walls,

the restorer of streets where people live.

They have not known the path of peace,

and there is no justice in their ways.

They have made their roads crooked;

no one who walks on them will know peace.

This is what the LORD says:

Stand by the roadways and look.

Ask about the ancient paths,

“Which is the way to what is good? ”

Then take it

and find rest for yourselves.

But they protested, “We won’t! ”

I will raise weeping and a lament

over the mountains,

a dirge over the wilderness grazing land,

for they have been so scorched

that no one passes through.

The sound of cattle is no longer heard.

From the birds of the sky to the animals,

everything has fled ​— ​they have gone away.

Yet my people have forgotten me.

They burn incense to worthless idols

that make them stumble in their ways

on the ancient roads,

and make them walk on new paths, not the highway.

He has walled in my ways with blocks of stone;

he has made my paths crooked.

Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt, and glorify the King of the heavens, because all his works are true and his ways are just. He is able to humble those who walk in pride.

Therefore, this is what I will do:

I will block her[fn] way with thorns;

I will enclose her with a wall,

so that she cannot find her paths.

They attack as warriors attack;

they scale walls as men of war do.

Each goes on his own path,

and they do not change their course.
