Lexicon :: Strong's H990 - beṭen

For it will be pleasant ^H5273 if ^H3588 you keep ^H8104 them within ^H990 you,

[fn]So that they may be ^H3559 ready ^H3559 on your lips ^H8193.

The words ^H1697 of a gossiper ^H7279 are like dainty ^H3859 morsels ^H3859,

And they go ^H3381 down ^H3381 into the [fn]innermost ^H2315 parts ^H2315 of the body ^H990.

What ^H4100, my son ^H1248?

And what ^H4100, son ^H1248 of my womb ^H990?

And what ^H4100, son ^H1248 of my vows ^H5088?

“Your navel ^H8270 is like a round ^H5469 goblet ^H101

That never ^H408 lacks ^H2637 mixed ^H4197 wine ^H4197;

Your belly ^H990 is like a heap ^H6194 of wheat ^H2406,

[fn]Surrounded ^H5473 with lilies ^H7799.

And their bows ^H7198 will [fn]mow ^H7376 down ^H7376 the young ^H5288 men ^H5288,

They will not even have ^H7355 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 the fruit ^H6529 of the womb ^H990,

Nor will their eye ^H5869 pity ^H2347 [fn]children ^H1121.

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559, He who made ^H6213 you

And formed ^H3335 you from the womb ^H990, who will help ^H5826 you:

‘Do not fear ^H3372, Jacob ^H3290 My servant ^H5650,

And [fn]Jeshurun ^H3484, whom I have chosen ^H977.

This ^H3541 is ^H3541 what ^H3541 the LORD ^H3068 says ^H559, He who is your Redeemer ^H1350, and the One who formed ^H3335 you from the womb ^H990:

“I, the LORD ^H3068, am the Maker ^H6213 of all ^H3605 things ^H3605,

Stretching ^H5186 out ^H5186 the heavens ^H8064 by Myself ^H905

And spreading ^H7554 out ^H7554 the earth ^H776 [fn]alone ^H4480 H854,

“Listen ^H8085 to Me, house ^H1004 of Jacob ^H3290,

And all ^H3605 the remnant ^H7611 of the house ^H1004 of Israel ^H3478,

You who have been carried ^H6006 by Me from [fn]birth ^H990

And have been carried ^H5375 from the womb ^H7358;

“You have not heard ^H8085, you have not known ^H3045.

Even ^H1571 from long ^H227 ago ^H227 your ear ^H241 has not been open ^H6605,

Because ^H3588 I knew ^H3045 that you would deal ^H898 very ^H898 treacherously ^H898;

And you have been called ^H7121 a [fn]rebel ^H6586 from [fn]birth ^H990.

Listen ^H8085 to Me, you islands ^H339,

And pay ^H7181 attention ^H7181, you peoples ^H3816 from afar ^H7350.

The LORD ^H3068 called ^H7121 Me from the womb ^H990;

From the [fn]body ^H4578 of My mother ^H517 He named ^H2142 H8034 Me.

And now ^H6258 says ^H559 the LORD ^H3068, who formed ^H3335 Me from the womb ^H990 to be His Servant ^H5650,

To bring ^H7725 Jacob ^H3290 back ^H7725 to Him, so that Israel ^H3478 might be gathered ^H622 to Him

(For I am honored ^H3513 in the sight ^H5869 of the LORD ^H3068,

And My God ^H430 is My strength ^H5797),

“Can a woman ^H802 forget ^H7911 her nursing ^H5764 child ^H5764

And have ^H7355 no ^H4480 compassion ^H7355 on ^H7355 the son ^H1121 of her womb ^H990?

Even ^H1571 these ^H428 may forget ^H7911, but I will not forget ^H7911 you.

“Before ^H2962 I formed ^H3335 you in the womb ^H990 I knew ^H3045 you,

And before ^H2962 you were born ^H3318 H7358 I consecrated ^H6942 you;

I have appointed ^H5414 you as a prophet ^H5030 to the nations ^H1471.”

As for Ephraim ^H669, their glory ^H3519 will fly ^H5774 away ^H5774 like a bird ^H5775—

No ^H4480 birth ^H3205, no ^H4480 pregnancy ^H990, and no ^H4480 conception ^H2032!

Ephraim ^H669 is stricken ^H5221, their root ^H8328 is dried ^H3001 up ^H3001,

They will produce ^H6213 no ^H1097 fruit ^H6529.

Even ^H1571 though ^H3588 they give ^H3205 birth ^H3205 to children,

I will put ^H4191 to ^H4191 death ^H4191 the precious ^H4261 ones ^H4261 of their womb ^H990.

In the womb ^H990 he took ^H6117 his brother ^H251 by ^H6117 the ^H6117 heel ^H6117,

And in his mature ^H202 strength ^H202 he contended ^H8280 with God ^H430.

“I called ^H7121 out ^H7121 of my distress ^H6869 to the LORD ^H3068,

And He answered ^H6030 me.

I called ^H7768 for ^H7768 help ^H7768 from the [fn]depth ^H990 of Sheol ^H7585;

You heard ^H8085 my voice ^H6963.

Does the LORD ^H3068 take ^H7521 pleasure ^H7521 in thousands ^H505 of rams ^H352,

In ten ^H7233 thousand ^H7233 rivers ^H5158 of [fn]oil ^H8081?

Shall I give ^H5414 Him my firstborn ^H1060 for my wrongdoings ^H6588,

The fruit ^H6529 of my body ^H990 for the sin ^H2403 of my soul ^H5315?

I heard ^H8085, and my [fn]inner ^H990 parts ^H990 trembled ^H7264;

At the sound ^H6963, my lips ^H8193 quivered ^H6750.

Decay ^H7538 enters ^H935 my bones ^H6106,

And in ^H8478 my place ^H8478 I tremble ^H7264;

Because ^H834 I [fn]must wait ^H5117 quietly ^H5117 for the day ^H3117 of distress ^H6869,

[fn]For the people ^H5971 to arise ^H5927 who will attack ^H1464 us.
