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 bitterly ^H7235 H1059.

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

Then Judah ^H3063 said ^H559,

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

Yet there is much ^H7235 [fn]rubbish ^H6083;

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

To rebuild ^H1129 the wall ^H2346.”

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

And You brought ^H935 them into the land ^H776

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

“Its abundant ^H7235 produce ^H8393 is for the kings ^H4428

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

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

And over our cattle ^H929 according to their desire ^H7522,

So we are in great ^H1419 distress ^H6869.

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

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

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

And increase ^H7235 Your vexation ^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 offspring ^H6631 will not be ^H7646 satisfied ^H7646 with bread ^H3899.

“Then I [fn]said ^H559, ‘I will breathe ^H1478 my last ^H1478 [fn]in my nest ^H7064,

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

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

For God ^H433 is ^H7235 greater ^H7235 than ^H4480 mortal ^H582 man ^H582.

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

He strikes ^H5606 his hands together among ^H996 us,

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

“Their children ^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 it make ^H7235 many ^H7235 supplications ^H8469 to you,

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

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

I shall 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]for no amount ^H3808 H1952,

And You have not [fn]profited ^H7235 from their price ^H4242.

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

When ^H3588 the [fn]glory ^H3519 of his house ^H1004 increases ^H7235;

Wash ^H3526 me thoroughly ^H7235 from my iniquity ^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, atoned ^H3722 for their iniquity ^H5771 and did not destroy ^H7843 them;

And He abounded ^H7235 in turning ^H7725 back ^H7725 His anger ^H639

And did not arouse ^H5782 all ^H3605 His wrath ^H2534.

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

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

O Israel ^H3478, wait ^H3176 for Yahweh ^H3068;

For with Yahweh ^H3068 there is lovingkindness ^H2617,

And with Him is abundant ^H7235 redemption ^H6304.

If I should count ^H5608 them, they would outnumber ^H7235 the sand ^H2344.

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

Hear ^H8085, my son ^H1121, and receive ^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 ransom ^H3724,

He will not ^H3808 be ^H14 willing ^H14 though ^H3588 you give ^H7235 many ^H7235 bribes ^H7810.

For by me your days ^H3117 will become ^H7235 many ^H7235,

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

Wealth ^H1952 obtained from empty ^H1892 effort ^H1892 dwindles ^H4591,

But the one who gathers ^H6908 [fn]with his hand ^H3027 abounds ^H7235.

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

Or who gives ^H5414 to the rich ^H6223 will only ^H389 come to lack ^H4270.

To eat ^H398 too much ^H7235 honey ^H1706 is not good ^H2896,

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

He who increases ^H7235 his wealth ^H1952 by interest ^H5392 and usury ^H8636

Gathers ^H6908 it for him who is gracious ^H2603 to the lowly ^H1800.

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

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

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

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

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

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

I spoke ^H1696 within my heart ^H3820, saying ^H559, “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 heart ^H3820 has seen ^H7200 an abundance ^H7235 of wisdom ^H2451 and knowledge ^H1847.”
