If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. ~ 1 John 1:9 ASV

For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not covet, and if there be any other commandment, it is summed up in this word, namely, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. ~ Romans 13:9 ASV

Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee; I have appointed thee a prophet unto the nations. ~ Jeremiah 1:5 ASV

And he heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, Jacob hath taken away all that was our father's; and of that which was our father's hath he gotten all this glory.And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, and, behold, it was not toward him as beforetime.And Jehovah said unto Jacob, Return unto the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindred; and I will be with thee.And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field unto his flock,and said unto them, I see your father's countenance, that it is not toward me as beforetime; but the God of my father hath been with me.And ye know that will all my power I have served your father.And your father hath deceived me, and changed my wages ten times; but God suffered him not to hurt me.If he said thus, The speckled shall be thy wages; then all the flock bare speckled: and if he said thus, The ringstreaked shall be thy wages; then bare all the flock ringstreaked.Thus God hath taken away the cattle of your father, and given them to me.And it came to pass at the time that the flock conceive, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw in a dream, and, behold, the he-goats which leaped upon the flock were ringstreaked, speckled, and grizzled.And the angel of God said unto me in the dream, Jacob: and I said, Here am I.And he said, Lift up now thine eyes, and see, all the he-goats which leap upon the flock are ringstreaked, speckled, and grizzled: for I have seen all that Laban doeth unto thee.I am the God of Beth-el, where thou anointedst a pillar, where thou vowedst a vow unto me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy nativity.And Rachel and Leah answered and said unto him, Is there yet any portion or inheritance for us in our father's house?Are we not accounted by him as foreigners? for he hath sold us, and hath also quite devoured our money.For all the riches which God hath taken away from our father, that is ours and our children's: now then, whatsoever God hath said unto thee, do.Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and his wives upon the camels;and he carried away all his cattle, and all his substance which he had gathered, the cattle of his getting, which he had gathered in Paddan-aram, to go to Isaac his father unto the land of Canaan.Now Laban was gone to shear his sheep: and Rachel stole the teraphim that were her father's.And Jacob stole away unawares to Laban the Syrian, in that he told him not that he fled.So he fled with all that he had; and he rose up, and passed over the River, and set his face toward the mountain of Gilead.And it was told Laban on the third day that Jacob was fled.And he took his brethren with him, and pursued after him seven days' journey; and he overtook him in the mountain of Gilead.And God came to Laban the Syrian in a dream of the night, and said unto him, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.And Laban came up with Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountain: and Laban with his brethren encamped in the mountain of Gilead.And Laban said to Jacob, What hast thou done, that thou hast stolen away unawares to me, and carried away my daughters as captives of the sword?Wherefore didst thou flee secretly, and steal away from me, and didst not tell me, that I might have sent thee away with mirth and with songs, with tabret and with harp;and didst not suffer me to kiss my sons and my daughters? now hast thou done foolishly.It is in the power of my hand to do you hurt: but the God of your father spake unto me yesternight, saying, Take heed to thyself that thou speak not to Jacob either good or bad.And now, `though' thou wouldest needs be gone, because thou sore longedst after thy father's house, `yet' wherefore hast thou stolen my gods?And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Because I was afraid: for I said, Lest thou shouldest take thy daughters from me by force.With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, he shall not live: before our brethren discern thou what is thine with me, and take it to thee. For Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen them.And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into Leah's tent, and into the tent of the two maid-servants; but he found them not. And he went out of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent.Now Rachel had taken the teraphim, and put them in the camel's saddle, and sat upon them. And Laban felt about all the tent, but found them not.And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry that I cannot rise up before thee; for the manner of women is upon me. And he searched, but found not the teraphim.And Jacob was wroth, and chode with Laban: and Jacob answered and said to Laban, What is my trespass? what is my sin, that thou hast hotly pursued after me?Whereas thou hast felt about all my stuff, what hast thou found of all thy household stuff? Set it here before my brethren and thy brethren, that they may judge betwixt us two.These twenty years have I been with thee; thy ewes and thy she-goats have not cast their young, and the rams of thy flocks have I not eaten.That which was torn of beasts I brought not unto thee; I bare the loss of it; of my hand didst thou require it, whether stolen by day or stolen by night.Thus I was; in the day the drought consumed me, and the frost by night; and my sleep fled from mine eyes.These twenty years have I been in thy house; I served thee fourteen years for thy two daughters, and six years for thy flock: and thou hast changed my wages ten times.Except the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been with me, surely now hadst thou sent me away empty. God hath seen mine affliction and the labor of my hands, and rebuked thee yesternight.And Laban answered and said unto Jacob, The daughters are my daughters, and the children are my children, and the flocks are my flocks, and all that thou seest is mine: and what can I do this day unto these my daughters, or unto their children whom they have borne?And now come, let us make a covenant, I and thou; and let it be for a witness between me and thee.And Jacob took a stone, and set it up for a pillar.And Jacob said unto his brethren, Gather stones; and they took stones, and made a heap: and they did eat there by the heap.And Laban called it Jegar-saha-dutha: but Jacob called it Galeed.And Laban said, This heap is witness between me and thee this day. Therefore was the name of it called Galeed:and Mizpah, for he said, Jehovah watch between me and thee, when we are absent one from another.If thou shalt afflict my daughters, and if thou shalt take wives besides my daughters, no man is with us; see, God is witness betwixt me and thee.And Laban said to Jacob, Behold this heap, and behold the pillar, which I have set betwixt me and thee.This heap be witness, and the pillar be witness, that I will not pass over this heap to thee, and that thou shalt not pass over this heap and this pillar unto me, for harm.The God of Abraham, and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, judge betwixt us. And Jacob sware by the Fear of his father Isaac.And Jacob offered a sacrifice in the mountain, and called his brethren to eat bread: and they did eat bread, and tarried all night in the mountain.And early in the morning Laban rose up, and kissed his sons and his daughters, and blessed them: and Laban departed and returned unto his place. ~ Genesis 31:1-55 ASV

Now Joab the son of Zeruiah perceived that the king's heart was toward Absalom.And Joab sent to Tekoa, and fetched thence a wise woman, and said unto her, I pray thee, feign thyself to be a mourner, and put on mourning apparel, I pray thee, and anoint not thyself with oil, but be as a woman that hath a long time mourned for the dead:and go in to the king, and speak on this manner unto him. So Joab put the words in her mouth.And when the woman of Tekoa spake to the king, she fell on her face to the ground, and did obeisance, and said, Help, O king.And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, Of a truth I am a widow, and my husband is dead.And thy handmaid had two sons, and they two strove together in the field, and there was none to part them, but the one smote the other, and killed him.And, behold, the whole family is risen against thy handmaid, and they say, Deliver him that smote his brother, that we may kill him for the life of his brother whom he slew, and so destroy the heir also. Thus will they quench my coal which is left, and will leave to my husband neither name nor remainder upon the face of the earth.And the king said unto the woman, Go to thy house, and I will give charge concerning thee.And the woman of Tekoa said unto the king, My lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my father's house; and the king and his throne be guiltless.And the king said, Whosoever saith aught unto thee, bring him to me, and he shall not touch thee any more.Then said she, I pray thee, let the king remember Jehovah thy God, that the avenger of blood destroy not any more, lest they destroy my son. And he said, As Jehovah liveth, there shall not one hair of thy son fall to the earth.Then the woman said, Let thy handmaid, I pray thee, speak a word unto my lord the king. And he said, Say on.And the woman said, Wherefore then hast thou devised such a thing against the people of God? for in speaking this word the king is as one that is guilty, in that the king doth not fetch home again his banished one.For we must needs die, and are as water split on the ground, which cannot be gathered up again; neither doth God take away life, but deviseth means, that he that is banished be not an outcast from him.Now therefore seeing that I am come to speak this word unto my lord the king, it is because the people have made me afraid: and thy handmaid said, I will now speak unto the king; it may be that the king will perform the request of his servant.For the king will hear, to deliver his servant out of the hand of the man that would destroy me and my son together out of the inheritance of God.Then thy handmaid said, Let, I pray thee, the word of my lord the king be comfortable; for as an angel of God, so is my lord the king to discern good and bad: and Jehovah thy God be with thee.Then the king answered and said unto the woman, Hide not from me, I pray thee, aught that I shall ask thee. And the woman said, Let my lord the king now speak.And the king said, Is the hand of Joab with thee in all this? And the woman answered and said, As thy soul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to the right hand or to the left from aught that my lord the king hath spoken; for thy servant Joab, he bade me, and he put all these words in the mouth of thy handmaid;to change the face of the matter hath thy servant Joab done this thing: and my lord is wise, according to the wisdom of an angel of God, to know all things that are in the earth.And the king said unto Joab, Behold now, I have done this thing: go therefore, bring the young man Absalom back.And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and did obeisance, and blessed the king: and Joab said, To-day thy servant knoweth that I have found favor in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the king hath performed the request of his servant.So Joab arose and went to Geshur, and brought Absalom to Jerusalem.And the king said, Let him turn to his own house, but let him not see my face. So Absalom turned to his own house, and saw not the king's face.Now in all Israel there was none to be so much praised as Absalom for his beauty: from the sole of his foot even to the crown of his head there was no blemish in him.And when he cut the hair of his head (now it was at every year's end that he cut it; because it was heavy on him, therefore he cut it); he weighed the hair of his head at two hundred shekels, after the king's weight.And unto Absalom there were born three sons, and one daughter, whose name was Tamar: she was a woman of a fair countenance.And Absalom dwelt two full years in Jerusalem; and he saw not the king's face.Then Absalom sent for Joab, to send him to the king; but he would not come to him: and he sent again a second time, but he would not come.Therefore he said unto his servants, See, Joab's field is near mine, and he hath barley there; go and set it on fire. And Absalom's servants set the field on fire.Then Joab arose, and came to Absalom unto his house, and said unto him, Wherefore have thy servants set my field on fire?And Absalom answered Joab, Behold, I sent unto thee, saying, Come hither, that I may send thee to the king, to say, Wherefore am I come from Geshur? it were better for me to be there still. Now therefore let me see the king's face; and if there be iniquity in me, let him kill me.So Joab came to the king, and told him; and when he had called for Absalom, he came to the king, and bowed himself on his face to the ground before the king: and the king kissed Absalom. ~ 2 Samuel 14:1-33 ASV
