zion <2SA5 -:7> Nevertheless David took the strong hold of {Zion}: the same [is] the city of David. zion <1KI8 -:1> Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which [is] {Zion}. zion <2KI19 -:21> This [is] the word that the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin the daughter of {Zion} hath despised thee, [and] laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee. zion <2KI19 -:31> For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount {Zion}: the zeal of the LORD [of hosts] shall do this. zion <1CH11 -:5> And the inhabitants of Jebus said to David, Thou shalt not come hither. Nevertheless David took the castle of {Zion}, which [is] the city of David. zion <2CH5 -:2> Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which [is] {Zion}. zion Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of {Zion}. zion Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in {Zion}: declare among the people his doings. zion That I may show forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of {Zion}: I will rejoice in thy salvation. zion Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of {Zion}! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad. zion Send thee help from the sanctuary, and strengthen thee out of {Zion}; zion Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, [is] mount {Zion}, [on] the sides of the north, the city of the great King. zion Let mount {Zion} rejoice, let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of thy judgments. zion Walk about {Zion}, and go round about her: tell the towers thereof. zion Out of {Zion}, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. zion Do good in thy good pleasure unto {Zion}: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. zion Oh that the salvation of Israel [were come] out of {Zion}! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, [and] Israel shall be glad. zion For God will save {Zion}, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession. zion Remember thy congregation, [which] thou hast purchased of old; the rod of thine inheritance, [which] thou hast redeemed; this mount {Zion}, wherein thou hast dwelt. zion In Salem also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in {Zion}. zion But chose the tribe of Judah, the mount {Zion} which he loved. zion They go from strength to strength, [every one of them] in {Zion} appeareth before God. zion The LORD loveth the gates of {Zion} more than all the dwellings of Jacob. zion And of {Zion} it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. zion {Zion} heard, and was glad; and the daughters of Judah rejoiced because of thy judgments, O LORD. zion The LORD [is] great in {Zion}; and he [is] high above all the people. zion Thou shalt arise, [and] have mercy upon {Zion}: for the time to favour her, yea, the set time, is come. zion When the LORD shall build up {Zion}, he shall appear in his glory. zion To declare the name of the LORD in {Zion}, and his praise in Jerusalem; zion The LORD shall send the rod of thy strength out of {Zion}: rule thou in the midst of thine enemies. zion A Song of degrees. They that trust in the LORD [shall be] as mount {Zion}, [which] cannot be removed, [but] abideth for ever. zion A Song of degrees. When the LORD turned again the captivity of {Zion}, we were like them that dream. zion The LORD shall bless thee out of {Zion}: and thou shalt see the good of Jerusalem all the days of thy life. zion Let them all be confounded and turned back that hate {Zion}. zion For the LORD hath chosen {Zion}; he hath desired [it] for his habitation. zion As the dew of Hermon, [and as the dew] that descended upon the mountains of {Zion}: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, [even] life for evermore. zion The LORD that made heaven and earth bless thee out of {Zion}. zion Blessed be the LORD out of {Zion}, which dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye the LORD. zion By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered {Zion}. zion For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us [required of us] mirth, [saying], Sing us [one] of the songs of {Zion}. zion The LORD shall reign for ever, [even] thy God, O {Zion}, unto all generations. Praise ye the LORD. zion Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O {Zion}. zion Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of {Zion} be joyful in their King. zion Go forth, O ye daughters of {Zion}, and behold king Solomon with the crown wherewith his mother crowned him in the day of his espousals, and in the day of the gladness of his heart. zion And the daughter of {Zion} is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. zion {Zion} shall be redeemed with judgment, and her converts with righteousness. zion And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of {Zion} shall go forth the law, and the w ord of the LORD from Jerusalem. zion Moreover the LORD saith, Because the daughters of {Zion} are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing [as] they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: zion Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of {Zion}, and the LORD will discover their secret parts. zion And it shall come to pass, [that he that is] left in {Zion}, and [he that] remaineth in Jerusalem, shall be called holy, [even] every one that is written among the living in Jerusalem: zion When the Lord shall have washed away the filth of the daughters of {Zion}, and shall have purged the blood of Jerusalem from the midst thereof by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. zion And the LORD will create upon every dwelling place of mount {Zion}, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by night: for upon all the glory [shall be] a defence. zion Behold, I and the children whom the LORD hath given me [are] for signs and for wonders in Israel from the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth in mount {Zion}. zion Wherefore it shall come to pass, [that] when the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount {Zion} and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his high looks. zion Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD of hosts, O my people that dwellest in {Zion}, be not afraid of the Assyrian: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift up his staff against thee, after the manner of Egypt. zion As yet shall he remain at Nob that day: he shall shake his hand [against] the mount of the daughter of {Zion}, the hill of Jerusalem. zion Cry out and shout, thou inhabitant of {Zion}: for great [is] the Holy One of Israel in the midst of thee. zion What shall [one] then answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded {Zion}, and the poor of his people shall trust in it. zion Send ye the lamb to the ruler of the land from Sela to the wilderness, unto the mount of the daughter of {Zion}. zion In that time shall the present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and peeled, and from a people terrible from their beginning hitherto; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount {Zion}. zion Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount {Zion}, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously. zion Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in {Zion} for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner [stone], a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste. zion It shall even be as when an hungry [man] dreameth, and, behold, he eateth; but he awaketh, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreameth, and, behold, he drinketh; but he awaketh, and, behold, [he is] faint, and his soul hath a ppetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount {Zion}. zion For the people shall dwell in {Zion} at Jerusalem: thou shalt weep no more: he will be very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; when he shall hear it, he will answer thee. zion For thus hath the LORD spoken unto me, Like as the lion and the young lion roaring on his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, [he] will not be afraid of their voice, nor abase himself for the noise of them: so shall the LORD of hosts come down to fight for mount {Zion}, and for the hill thereof. zion And he shall pass over to his strong hold for fear, and his princes shall be afraid of the ensign, saith the LORD, whose fire [is] in {Zion}, and his furnace in Jerusalem. zion The LORD is exalted; for he dwelleth on high: he hath filled {Zion} with judgment and righteousness. zion The sinners in {Zion} are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings? zion Look upon {Zion}, the city of our solemnities: thine eyes shall see Jerusalem a quiet habitation, a tabernacle [that] shall not be taken down; not one of the stakes thereof shall ever be removed, neither shall any of the cords thereof be broken. zion For [it is] the day of the LORD's vengeance, [and] the year of recompenses for the controversy of {Zion}. zion And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to {Zion} with songs and everlasting joy upon their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away. zion This [is] the word which the LORD hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of {Zion}, hath despised thee, [and] laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee. zion For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount {Zion}: the zeal of the LORD of hosts shall do this. zion O {Zion}, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift [it] up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! zion The first [shall say] to {Zion}, Behold, behold them: and I will give to Jerusalem one that bringeth good tidings. zion I bring near my righteousness: it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry: and I will place salvation in {Zion} for Israel my glory. zion But {Zion} said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. zion For the LORD shall comfort {Zion}: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody . zion Therefore the redeemed of the LORD shall return, and come with singing unto {Zion}; and everlasting joy [shall be] upon their head: they shall obtain gladness and joy; [and] sorrow and mourning shall flee away. zion And I have put my words in thy mouth, and I have covered thee in the shadow of mine hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and say unto {Zion}, Thou [art] my people. zion Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O {Zion}; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean. zion Shake thyself from the dust; arise, [and] sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of {Zion}. zion How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto {Zion}, Thy God reigneth! zion Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again {Zion}. zion And the Redeemer shall come to {Zion}, and unto them that turn from transgression in Jacob, saith the LORD. zion The sons also of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The {Zion} of the Holy One of Isr ael. zion To appoint unto them that mourn in {Zion}, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, tha t he might be glorified. zion Behold, the LORD hath proclaimed unto the end of the world, Say ye to the daughter of {Zion}, Behold, thy salvation cometh; behold, his reward [is] with him, and his work before him. zion Thy holy cities are a wilderness, {Zion} is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation. zion Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be made to bring forth in one day? [or] shall a nation be born at once? for as soon as {Zion} travailed, she brought forth her children. zion Turn, O backsliding children, saith the LORD; for I am married unto you: and I will take you one of a city, and two of a family, and I will bring you to {Zion}: zion Set up the standard toward {Zion}: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction. zion For I have heard a voice as of a woman in travail, [and] the anguish as of her that bringeth forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of {Zion}, [that] bewaileth herself, [that] spreadeth her hands, [saying], Woe [is] me now! for my soul is wearied because of murderers. zion I have likened the daughter of {Zion} to a comely and delicate [woman]. zion They shall lay hold on bow and spear; they [are] cruel, and have no mercy; their voice roareth like the sea; and they ride upon horses, set in array as men for war against thee, O daughter of {Zion}. zion Behold the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people because of them that dwell in a far country: [Is] not the LORD in {Zion}? [is] not her king in her? Why have they provoked me to anger with their graven images, [and] with strange v anities? zion For a voice of wailing is heard out of {Zion}, How are we spoiled! we are greatly confounded, because we have forsaken the land, because our dwellings have cast [us] out. zion Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul loathed {Zion}? why hast thou smitten us, and [there is] no healing for us? we looked for peace, and [there is] no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble! zion Micah the Morasthite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and spake to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; {Zion} shall be plowed [like] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest. zion For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, [saying], This [is] {Zion}, whom no man seeketh after. zion For there shall be a day, [that] the watchmen upon the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise ye, and let us go up to {Zion} unto the LORD our God. zion Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of {Zion}, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered g arden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all. zion They shall ask the way to {Zion} with their faces thitherward, [saying], Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD in a perpetual covenant [that] shall not be forgotten. zion The voice of them that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to declare in {Zion} the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of his temple. zion The LORD hath brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in {Zion} the work of the LORD our God. zion And I will render unto Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in {Zion} in your sight, saith the LORD. zion The violence done to me and to my flesh [be] upon Babylon, shall the inhabitant of {Zion} say; and my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say. zion The ways of {Zion} do mourn, because none come to the solemn feasts: all her gates are desolate: her priests sigh, her virgins are afflicted, and she [is] in bitterness. zion And from the daughter of {Zion} all her beauty is departed: her princes are become like harts [that] find no pasture, and they are gone without strength before the pursuer. zion {Zion} spreadeth forth her hands, [and there is] none to comfort her: the LORD hath commanded concerning Jacob, [that] his adversaries [should be] round about him: Jerusalem is as a menstruous woman among them. zion How hath the Lord covered the daughter of {Zion} with a cloud in his anger, [and] cast down from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Israel, and remembered not his footstool in the day of his anger! zion He hath bent his bow like an enemy: he stood with his right hand as an adversary, and slew all [that were] pleasant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daughter of {Zion}: he poured out his fury like fire. zion And he hath violently taken away his tabernacle, as [if it were of] a garden: he hath destroyed his places of the assembly: the LORD hath caused the solemn feasts and sabbaths to be forgotten in {Zion}, and hath despised in the indignation of his anger the king and the priest. zion The LORD hath purposed to destroy the wall of the daughter of {Zion}: he hath stretched out a line, he hath not withdrawn his hand from destroying: therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament; they languished together. zion The elders of the daughter of {Zion} sit upon the ground, [and] keep silence: they have cast up dust upon their heads; they have girded themselves with sackcloth: the virgins of Jerusalem hang down their heads to the ground. zion What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of {Zion}? for thy breach [is] great like the sea: who can heal thee? zion Their heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the daughter of {Zion}, let tears run down like a river day and night: give thyself no rest; let not the apple of thine eye cease. zion The precious sons of {Zion}, comparable to fine gold, how are they esteemed as earthen pitchers, the work of the hands of the potter! zion The LORD hath accomplished his fury; he hath poured out his fierce anger, and hath kindled a fire in {Zion}, and it hath devoured the foundations thereof. zion The punishment of thine iniquity is accomplished, O daughter of {Zion}; he will no more carry thee away into captivity: he will visit thine iniquity, O daughter of Edom; he will discover thy sins. zion They ravished the women in {Zion}, [and] the maids in the cities of Judah. zion Because of the mountain of {Zion}, which is desolate, the foxes walk upon it. zion Blow ye the trumpet in {Zion}, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain: let all the inhabitants of the land tremble: for the day of the LORD cometh, for [it is] nigh at hand; zion Blow the trumpet in {Zion}, sanctify a fast, call a solemn assembly: zion Be glad then, ye children of {Zion}, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first [month]. zion And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be delivered: for in mount {Zion} and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as the LORD hath said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call. zion The LORD also shall roar out of {Zion}, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth shall shake: but the LORD [will be] the hope of his people, and the strength of the children of Israel. zion So shall ye know that I [am] the LORD your God dwelling in {Zion}, my holy mountain: then shall Jerusalem be holy, and there shall no strangers pass through her any more. zion For I will cleanse their blood [that] I have not cleansed: for the LORD dwelleth in {Zion}. zion And he said, The LORD will roar from {Zion}, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the habitations of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall wither. zion Woe to them [that are] at ease in {Zion}, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, [which are] named chief of the nations, to whom the house of Israel came! zion But upon mount {Zion} shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. zion And saviours shall come up on mount {Zion} to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S. zion O thou inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the swift beast: she [is] the beginning of the sin to the daughter of {Zion}: for the transgressions of Israel were found in thee. zion They build up {Zion} with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity. zion Therefore shall {Zion} for your sake be plowed [as] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest. zion And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of {Zion}, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. zion And I will make her that halted a remnant, and her that was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD shall reign over them in mount {Zion} from henceforth, even for ever. zion And thou, O tower of the flock, the strong hold of the daughter of {Zion}, unto thee shall it come, even the first dominion; the kingdom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. zion Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daughter of {Zion}, like a woman in travail: for now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou shalt dwell in the field, and thou shalt go [even] to Babylon; there shalt thou be delivered; ther e the LORD shall redeem thee from the hand of thine enemies. zion Now also many nations are gathered against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look upon {Zion}. zion Arise and thresh, O daughter of {Zion}: for I will make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brass: and thou shalt beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto the LORD, and their substance unto the Lord of the whole earth. zion Sing, O daughter of {Zion}; shout, O Israel; be glad and rejoice with all the heart, O daughter of Jerusalem. zion In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem, Fear thou not: [and to] {Zion}, Let not thine hands be slack. zion So the angel that communed with me said unto me, Cry thou, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I am jealous for Jerusalem and for {Zion} with a great jealousy. zion Cry yet, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; My cities through prosperity shall yet be spread abroad; and the LORD shall yet comfort {Zion}, and shall yet choose Jerusalem. zion Deliver thyself, O {Zion}, that dwellest [with] the daughter of Babylon. zion Sing and rejoice, O daughter of {Zion}: for, lo, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee, saith the LORD. zion Thus saith the LORD of hosts; I was jealous for {Zion} with great jealousy, and I was jealous for her with great fury. zion Thus saith the LORD; I am returned unto {Zion}, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth; and the mountain of the LORD of hosts the holy mountain. zion Rejoice greatly, O daughter of {Zion}; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto thee: he [is] just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, and upon a colt the foal of an ass. zion When I have bent Judah for me, filled the bow with Ephraim, and raised up thy sons, O {Zion}, against thy sons, O Greece, and made thee as the sword of a mighty man. ~~~~~~
