(NIV)
Do not seek a treaty of friendship with them as long as you live.
You shall
not seek their
peace or their
prosperity all your
days forever.
(NIV)
Jonathan said to David, ‘Go in peace, for we have sworn friendship with each other in the name of the
Lord, saying, “The
Lord is witness between you and me, and between your descendants and my descendants for ever.”’ Then David left, and Jonathan went back to the town.
Then
Jonathan said to
David,
“
Go in
peace,
because we have
sworn both of
us in the
name of the
Lord,
saying,
‘The
Lord shall
be between me and you, and
between my
offspring and your
offspring,
forever.’” And he
rose and
departed, and
Jonathan went into the
city.
(NIV)
David went out to meet them and said to them, ‘If you have come to me in peace to help me, I am ready for you to join me. But if you have come to betray me to my enemies when my hands are free from violence, may the God of our ancestors see it and judge you.’
David went out to
meet them and
said to them, “
If you have
come to me in
friendship to help me, my
heart will be
joined to you; but
if to
betray me to my
adversaries, although there is
no wrong in my
hands, then may the
God of our
fathers see and
rebuke you.”
(NIV)
Therefore, do not give your daughters in marriage to their sons or take their daughters for your sons. Do not seek a treaty of friendship with them at any time, that you may be strong and eat the good things of the land and leave it to your children as an everlasting inheritance.”
Therefore do
not give your
daughters to their
sons,
neither take their
daughters for your
sons, and
never seek their
peace or
prosperity,
that you may be
strong and
eat the
good of the
land and leave it for an
inheritance to your
children forever.’
(NIV)
Oh, for the days when I was in my prime,
when God’s intimate friendship blessed my house,
as I
was in my
prime,
when the
friendship of
God was upon
my tent,
(NIV)
The
Lord confides in those who fear him;
he makes his covenant known to them.
The
friendship of the
Lord is for those who
fear him,
and he makes
known to
them his
covenant.
(NIV)
In return for my friendship they accuse me,
but I am a man of prayer.
In
return for my
love they
accuse me,
but
I give myself to
prayer.
(NIV)
They repay me evil for good,
and hatred for my friendship.
So they
reward me evil for good,
and
hatred for my love.
(NIV)
Do not make friends with a hot-tempered person,
do not associate with one easily angered,
Make
no friendship with a
man given to
anger,
nor go with a
wrathful man,
(NIV)
I tell you, even though he will not get up and give you the bread because of friendship, yet because of your shameless audacity he will surely get up and give you as much as you need.
(ESV)
I tell you, though he will not get up and give him anything because he is his friend, yet because of his impudence he will rise and give him whatever he needs.
(NIV)
You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
You
adulterous people! Do you
not know that friendship with the
world is enmity with
God?
Therefore whoever wishes to
be a
friend of the
world makes himself an
enemy of
God.
