people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.”

Yahweh says, “Let my people go, that they may serve me.
21 Else, if you will not let my people go, behold, I will send swarms of
flies on you, and on your servants, and on your people, and into your houses:

hot against your people, that you have brought forth out of the land of
Egypt with great power and with a mighty hand?
12 Why should the Egyptians speak,
saying, ‘He brought them forth for evil, to kill them in the mountains, and to

repent of this evil against your people.
14 Yahweh repented of the evil which he said he would do to his people.
Ex 33:13,16
13 Now therefore, if I have found favor in your sight, please show me now your
ways, that I may know you, so that I may find favor in your sight: and consider
that this nation is your people.”

people? Isn’t it in that you go with us, so that we are separated, I and your

and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers.

foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your
name, to fear you, as does your people Israel, and that they may know
that this house which I have built is called by my name.

transgressions in which they have transgressed against you; and give them
compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion
on them

forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron);

to all that he promised: there has not failed one word of all his good promise,
which he promised by Moses his servant.

near to Yahweh our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant,

people, Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even
the bowl of the cup of my wrath; you shall no more drink it again:
Is 52:5,6,9
5 Now therefore, what do I here, says Yahweh, seeing that my people is
taken away for nothing? those who rule over them do howl, says Yahweh, and my
name continually all the day is blasphemed.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know
in that day that I am he who does speak; behold, it is I.
9 Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for Yahweh
has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
Is 53:8
He was taken away by oppression and judgment;
and as for his generation,
who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living
and stricken for the disobedience of my people?
Is 56:3
Neither let the foreigner, who has joined himself to Yahweh, speak, saying,
Yahweh will surely separate me from his people; neither let the eunuch
say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
Is 57:14
He will say, Cast up, cast up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-block out
of the way of my people.
Is 58:1
Cry aloud, don’t spare, lift up your voice like a trumpet, and declare to my
people their disobedience, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
Is 63:8,14,18
8 For he said, Surely, they are my people, children who will not deal
falsely: so he was their Savior.
14 As the livestock that go down into the valley, the Spirit of Yahweh caused
them to rest; so did you lead your people, to make yourself a glorious
name.
18 Your holy people possessed it but a little while: our
adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.
Is 64:9
Don’t be furious, Yahweh, neither remember iniquity forever: see, look, we beg
you, we are all your people.
Is 65:10,19,22
10 Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds
to lie down in, for my people who have sought me.
19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people; and there shall be
heard in her no more the voice of weeping and the voice of crying.
22 They shall not build, and another inhabit; they shall not plant, and another
eat: for as the days of a tree shall be the days of my people, and my
chosen shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
Jr 2:11,13,31,32
11 Has a nation changed its gods, which yet are no gods? but my people
have changed their glory for that which does not profit.
13 For my people have committed two evils: they have forsaken me, the
spring of living waters, and cut them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can
hold no water.
31 Generation, see the word of Yahweh. Have I been a wilderness to Israel? or a
land of thick darkness? why say my people, We are broken loose; we will
come no more to you?
32 Can a virgin forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire? yet my people
have forgotten me days without number.
Jr 4:11,22
11 At that time shall it be said to this people and to Jerusalem, A hot wind
from the bare heights in the wilderness toward the daughter of my people,
not to winnow, nor to cleanse;
22 For my people are foolish, they don’t know me; they are foolish
children, and they have no understanding; they are wise to do evil, but to do
good they have no knowledge.
Jr 5:26,31
26 For among my people are found wicked men: they watch, as fowlers lie
in wait; they set a trap, they catch men.
31 the prophets prophesy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my
people love to have it so: and what will you
do in the end of it?
Jr 6:14,27
14 They have healed also the hurt of my people slightly, saying, Peace,
peace; when there is no peace.
27 I have made you a tester of metals and a fortress among my people;
that you may know and try their way.
Jr 7:12,23
12 But go you now to my place which was in Shiloh, where I caused my name to
dwell at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people
Israel.
23 but this thing I commanded them, saying, Listen to my voice, and I will be
your God, and you shall be my people; and walk you in all the way that I
command you, that it may be well with you.
Jr 8:7,11
7 Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times; and the turtledove and
the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people
don’t know Yahweh’s law.
11 They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly,
saying, Peace, peace; when there is no peace.
Jr 9:7
Therefore thus says Yahweh of Armies, Behold, I will melt them, and try them;
for how else should I do, because of the daughter of my people?
Jr 11:4
which I commanded your fathers in the day that I brought them forth out of the
land of Egypt, out of the iron furnace, saying, Obey my voice, and do them,
according to all which I command you: so you shall be my people, and I
will be your God;
Jr 12:14,16
14 Thus says Yahweh against all my evil neighbors, who touch the inheritance
which I have caused my people Israel to inherit: behold, I will pluck
them up from off their land, and will pluck up the house of Judah from among
them.
16 It shall happen, if they will diligently learn the ways of my people,
to swear by my name, As Yahweh lives; even as they taught my people to
swear by Baal; then shall they be built up in the midst of my people.
Jr 13:11
For as the belt cleaves to the waist of a man, so have I caused to cleave to me
the whole house of Israel and the whole house of Judah, says Yahweh; that they
may be to me for a people, and for a name, and for a praise, and for a
glory: but they would not hear.
Jr 15:7
I have winnowed them with a fan in the gates of the land; I have bereaved them
of children, I have destroyed my people; they didn’t return from their
ways.
Jr 18:15
For my people have forgotten me, they have burned incense to false gods;
and they have been made to stumble in their ways, in the ancient paths, to walk
in byways, in a way not built up;
Jr 23:2,13,22,27,32
2 Therefore thus says Yahweh, the God of Israel, against the shepherds who feed my
people: You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have
not visited them; behold, I will visit on you the evil of your doings, says
Yahweh.
13 I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied by Baal, and
caused my people Israel to err.
22 But if they had stood in my council, then had they caused my people to
hear my words, and had turned them from their evil way, and from the evil of
their doings.
27 who think to cause my people to forget my name by their dreams which
they tell every man to his neighbor, as their fathers forgot my name for Baal.
32 Behold, I am against those who prophesy lying dreams, says Yahweh, and do
tell them, and cause my people to err by their lies, and by their vain
boasting: yet I didn’t send them, nor commanded them; neither do they profit
this people at all, says Yahweh.
Jr 24:7
I will give them a heart to know me, that I am Yahweh: and they shall be my
people, and I will be their God; for they shall return to me with their
whole heart.
Jr 29:32
therefore thus says Yahweh, Behold, I will punish Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and
his seed; he shall not have a man to dwell among this people, neither shall he
see the good that I will do to my people, says Yahweh, because he has
spoken rebellion against Yahweh.
Jr 30:3,22
3 For, behold, the days come, says Yahweh, that I will turn again the captivity
of my people Israel and Judah, says Yahweh; and I will cause them to
return to the land that I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
22 You shall be my people, and I will be your God.
Jr 31:1,7,14,33
1 At that time, says Yahweh, will I be the God of all the families of Israel,
and they shall be my people.
7 For thus says Yahweh, Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout for the chief of
the nations: publish you, praise you, and say, Yahweh, save your people, the
remnant of Israel.
14 I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people
shall be satisfied with my goodness, says Yahweh.
33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
after those days, says Yahweh: I will put my law in their inward parts, and in
their heart will I write it; and I will be their God, and they shall be my
people:
Jr 32:21,38
21 and brought forth your people Israel out of the land of Egypt with
signs, and with wonders, and with a strong hand, and with an outstretched arm,
and with great terror;
38 and they shall be my people, and I will be their God:
Jr 33:24
Don’t you consider what this people has spoken, saying, The two families which
Yahweh did choose, he has cast them off? thus do they despise my people,
that they should be no more a nation before them.
Jr 50:6
My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go
astray; they have turned them away on the mountains; they have gone from
mountain to hill; they have forgotten their resting place.
Jr 51:45
My people, go you out of the midst of her, and save yourselves every man
from the fierce anger of Yahweh.
Ezk 11:20
that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them: and they
shall be my people, and I will be their God.
Ezk 13:9,10,18,19,21,23
9 My hand shall be against the prophets who see false visions, and who divine
lies: they shall not be in the council of my people, neither shall they
be written in the writing of the house of Israel, neither shall they enter into
the land of Israel; and you shall know that I am the Lord Yahweh.
10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and
there is no peace; and when one builds up a wall, behold, they daub it with
whitewash:
18 and say, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Woe to the women who sew pillows on all
elbows, and make kerchiefs for the head of persons of every stature to
hunt souls! Will you hunt the souls of my people, and save souls alive
for yourselves?
19 You have profaned me among my people for handfuls of barley and for
pieces of bread, to kill the souls who should not die, and to save the souls
alive who should not live, by your lying to my people who listen to lies.
21 Your kerchiefs also will I tear, and deliver my people out of your
hand, and they shall be no more in your hand to be hunted; and you shall know
that I am Yahweh.
23 Therefore you shall no more see false visions, nor practice divination. I
will deliver my people out of your hand; and you shall know that I am
Yahweh.
Ezk 14:8,9,11
8 and I will set my face against that man, and will make him an astonishment,
for a sign and a proverb, and I will cut him off from the midst of my people;
and you shall know that I am Yahweh.
9 If the prophet be deceived and speak a word, I, Yahweh, have deceived that
prophet, and I will stretch out my hand on him, and will destroy him from the
midst of my people Israel.
11 that the house of Israel may go no more astray from me, neither defile
themselves any more with all their transgressions; but that they may be my
people, and I may be their God, says the Lord Yahweh.
Ezk 21:12
Cry and wail, son of man; for it is on my people, it is on all the
princes of Israel: they are delivered over to the sword with my people;
strike therefore on your thigh.
Ezk 25:14
I will lay my vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel; and they
shall do in Edom according to my anger and according to my wrath; and they shall
know my vengeance, says the Lord Yahweh.
Ezk 33:31
They come to you as the people comes, and they sit before you as my people,
and they hear your words, but don’t do them; for with their mouth they show
much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
Ezk
34:10,11,12,15,17,19,22,30,31
10 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I am against the shepherds; and I will
require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the
sheep; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; and I will deliver my
sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for them.
11 For thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my
sheep, and will seek them out.
12 As a shepherd seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that
are scattered abroad, so will I seek out my sheep; and I will deliver
them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark
day.
15 I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to
lie down, says the Lord Yahweh.
17 As for you, O my flock, thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I judge
between sheep and sheep, the rams and the male goats.
19 As for my sheep, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet,
and they drink that which you have fouled with your feet.
22 therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and
I will judge between sheep and sheep.
30 They shall know that I, Yahweh, their God am with them, and that they, the
house of Israel, are my people, says the Lord Yahweh.
31 You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God,
says the Lord Yahweh.
Ezk 36:8,12,20,28
8 But you, mountains of Israel, you shall shoot forth your branches, and yield
your fruit to my people Israel; for they are at hand to come.
12 Yes, I will cause men to walk on you, even my people Israel; and they
shall possess you, and you shall be their inheritance, and you shall no more
henceforth bereave them of children.
20 When they came to the nations, where they went, they profaned my holy name;
in that men said of them, These are the people of Yahweh, and are gone
forth out of his land.
28 You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and you shall be my
people, and I will be your God
Ezk 37:12,13,23,27
12 Therefore prophesy, and tell them, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Behold, I will
open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, my people;
and I will bring you into the land of Israel.
13 You shall know that I am Yahweh, when I have opened your graves, and caused
you to come up out of your graves, my people.
23 neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with
their detestable things, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save
them out of all their dwelling places, in which they have sinned, and will
cleanse them: so shall they be my people, and I will be their God.
27 My tent also shall be with them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my
people.
Ezk 38:14,16
14 Therefore, son of man, prophesy, and tell Gog, Thus says the Lord Yahweh: In
that day when my people Israel dwells securely, shall you not know it?
16 and you shall come up against my people Israel, as a cloud to cover
the land: it shall happen in the latter days, that I will bring you against my
land, that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified in you, Gog,
before their eyes.
Ezk 39:7
My holy name will I make known in the midst of my people Israel; neither
will I allow my holy name to be profaned any more: and the nations shall know
that I am Yahweh, the Holy One in Israel.
Ezk 44:23
They shall teach my people the difference between the holy and the
common, and cause them to discern between the unclean and the clean.
Ezk 45:8,9
8 In the land it shall be to him for a possession in Israel: and my princes
shall no more oppress my people; but they shall give the land to the
house of Israel according to their tribes.
9 Thus says the Lord Yahweh: Let it suffice you, princes of Israel: remove
violence and spoil, and execute justice and righteousness; dispossessing my
people, says the Lord Yahweh.
Ezk 46:18
Moreover the prince shall not take of the people’s inheritance, to thrust them
out of their possession; he shall give inheritance to his sons out of his own
possession, that my people not be scattered every man from his
possession.
Dn 9:15,16,19
15 Now, Lord our God, who has brought your people forth out of the land
of Egypt with a mighty hand, and have gotten you renown, as at this day; we have
sinned, we have done wickedly.
16 Lord, according to all your righteousness, let your anger and please let your
wrath be turned away from your city Jerusalem, your holy mountain; because for
our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people
are become a reproach to all who are around us.
19 Lord, hear; Lord, forgive; Lord, listen and do; don’t defer, for your own
sake, my God, because your city and your people are called by your name.
Hs 1:9,10
9 He said, “Call his name Lo-Ammi; for you are
not my people, and I will not be yours.
10 Yet the number of the children of Israel will be as the sand of the sea,
which can’t be measured nor numbered; and it will come to pass that, in the
place where it was said to them, ‘You are not my people,’ they will be
called ‘sons of the living God.’
Hs 2:23
I will sow her to me in the earth;
and I will have mercy on her who had not obtained mercy;
and I will tell those who were not my people, ‘You are my people;’
and they will say, ‘My God!’”
Hs 4:6,8
6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.
Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you,
that you may be no priest to me.
8 They feed on the sin of my people,
and set their heart on their iniquity.
Hs 6:11
“Also, Judah, there is a harvest appointed for you,
when I restore the fortunes of my people.
Hs 11:7
My people are determined to turn from me.
Though they call to the Most High,
he certainly won’t exalt them.
Jl 2:17,18,19,26,27
17 Let the priests, the ministers of Yahweh, weep between the porch and the
altar,
and let them say, “Spare your people, Yahweh,
and don’t give your heritage to reproach,
that the nations should rule over them.
Why should they say among the peoples,
‘Where is their God?’”
18 Then Yahweh was jealous for his land,
And had pity on his people.
19 Yahweh answered his people,
“Behold, I will send you grain, new wine, and oil,
and you will be satisfied with them;
and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.
26 You will have plenty to eat, and be satisfied,
and will praise the name of Yahweh, your God,
who has dealt wondrously with you;
and my people will never again be disappointed.
27 You will know that I am in the midst of Israel,
and that I am Yahweh, your God, and there is no one else;
and my people will never again be disappointed.
Jl 3:2,3,16
2 I will gather all nations,
and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat;
and I will execute judgment on them there for my people,
and for my heritage, Israel, whom they have scattered among
the nations.
They have divided my land,
3 and have cast lots for my people,
and have given a boy for a prostitute,
and sold a girl for wine, that they may drink.
16 Yahweh will roar from Zion,
and thunder from Jerusalem;
and the heavens and the earth will shake;
but Yahweh will be a refuge to his people,
and a stronghold to the children of Israel.
Am 7:8,15
8 Yahweh said to me, “Amos, what do you see?”
I said, “A plumb line.”
Then the Lord said, “Behold, I will set a plumb line in the midst of my
people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
15 and Yahweh took me from following the flock, and Yahweh said to me, ‘Go,
prophesy to my people Israel.’
Am 8:2
He said, “Amos, what do you see?”
I said, “A basket of summer fruit.”
Then Yahweh said to me,
“The end has come on my people Israel.
I will not again pass by them any more.
Am 9:10,14
10 All the sinners of my people will die by the sword, who say, ‘Evil
won’t overtake nor meet us.’
14 I will bring my people Israel back from captivity,
and they will rebuild the ruined cities, and inhabit them;
and they will plant vineyards, and drink wine from them.
Ob 1:13
Don’t enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity.
Don’t look down on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither
seize their wealth on the day of their calamity.
Mc 1:9
For her wounds are incurable;
for it has come even to Judah.
It reaches to the gate of my people,
even to Jerusalem.
Mc 2:8,9
8 But lately my people have risen up as an enemy.
You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by
without a care, returning from battle.
9 You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses;
from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
Mc 3:3,5
3 who also eat the flesh of my people,
and flay their skin from off them,
and break their bones,
and chop them in pieces, as for the pot,
and as flesh within the caldron.
5 Thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; for
those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, “Peace!” and whoever doesn’t
provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him:
Mc 6:2,3,5,16
2 Hear, you mountains, Yahweh’s controversy,
and you enduring foundations of the earth;
for Yahweh has a controversy with his people,
and he will contend with Israel.
3 My people, what have I done to you?
How have I burdened you?
Answer me!
5 My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised,
and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to
Gilgal,
that you may know the righteous acts of Yahweh.”
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept,
and all the works of the house of Ahab.
You walk in their counsels,
that I may make you a ruin,
and her inhabitants a hissing;
And you will bear the reproach of my people.”
Mc 7:14
Shepherd your people with your staff,
the flock of your heritage,
who dwell by themselves in a forest,
in the midst of fertile pasture land, let them feed;
in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
Hbk 3:13
You went forth for the salvation of your people,
for the salvation of your anointed.
You crushed the head of the land of wickedness.
You stripped them head to foot.
Zp 2:8-10
8 I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the insults of the children of Ammon,
with which they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves
against their border.
9 Therefore as I live, says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, surely Moab
will be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of
nettles, and salt pits, and a perpetual desolation. The remnant of my people
will plunder them, and the survivors of my nation will inherit them.
10 This they will have for their pride, because they have reproached and
magnified themselves against the people of Yahweh of Armies.
Zc 8:7,8
7 Thus says Yahweh of Armies: “Behold, I will save my people from the
east country, and from the west country;
8 and I will bring them, and they will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem; and they
will be my people, and I will be their God, in truth and in
righteousness.”
Zc 9:16
Yahweh their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people;
for they are like the jewels of a crown,
lifted on high over his land.
Zc 10:3
My anger is kindled against the shepherds,
and I will punish the male goats;
For Yahweh of Armies has visited his flock, the house of Judah,
and will make them as his majestic horse in the battle.
Zc 13:9
I will bring the third part into the fire,
and will refine them as silver is refined,
and will test them like gold is tested.
They will call on my name, and I will hear them.
I will say, ‘It is my people;’
and they will say, ‘Yahweh is my God.’”
Mt 1:21
She shall bring forth a son. You shall call his name Jesus, for it is he who
shall save his people from their sins.”
Mt 2:6
‘You Bethlehem, land of Judah,
are in no way least among the princes of Judah:
for out of you shall come forth a governor,
who shall shepherd my people, Israel.’”
Lk 1:68,77
68 “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
for he has visited and worked redemption for his people;
77 to give knowledge of salvation to his people by the remission of their
sins,
Lk 2:32
a light for revelation to the nations,
and the glory of your people Israel.”
Lk 7:16
Fear took hold of all, and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has
arisen among us!” and, “God has visited his people!”
Ac 7:34
I have surely seen the affliction of my people that is in Egypt, and have
heard their groaning. I have come down to deliver them. Now come, I will send
you into Egypt.
Rm 11:1,2
1 I ask then, did God reject his people? May it never be! For I also am
an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin.
2 God didn’t reject his people, which he foreknew. Or don’t you know
what the Scripture says about Elijah? How he pleads with God against Israel:
Rm 15:10
Again he says, “Rejoice, you Gentiles, with his people.”
Heb 8:10
“For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel.
After those days,” says the Lord;
“I will put my laws into their mind,
I will also write them on their heart.
I will be their God,
and they will be my people.
Heb 11:25
(Moses) choosing rather to share ill treatment with God’s people, than
to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a time;
