And the rib that the Lord God had taken from the man he made into a woman and brought her to the man.
-
Then the man said, "This at last is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; this one shall be called Woman, for out of Man this one was taken."
-
Now the serpent was more crafty than any other wild animal that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, "Did God say, "You shall not eat from any tree in the garden'?"
-
The woman said to the serpent, "We may eat of the fruit of the trees in the garden;
-
But the serpent said to the woman, "You will not die;
-
So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate; and she also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate.
-
The man said, "The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate."
-
Then the Lord God said to the woman, "What is this that you have done?" The woman said, "The serpent tricked me, and I ate."
-
I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will strike your head, and you will strike his heel."
-
To the woman he said, "I will greatly increase your pangs in childbearing; in pain you shall bring forth children, yet your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you."

-
But God came to Abimelech in a dream by night, and said to him, "You are about to die because of the woman whom you have taken; for she is a married woman."
-
So she said to Abraham, "Cast out this slave woman with her son; for the son of this slave woman shall not inherit along with my son Isaac."
-
But God said to Abraham, "Do not be distressed because of the boy and because of your slave woman; whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for it is through Isaac that offspring shall be named for you.
-
As for the son of the slave woman, I will make a nation of him also, because he is your offspring."
-
The servant said to him, "Perhaps the woman may not be willing to follow me to this land; must I then take your son back to the land from which you came?"
-
But if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be free from this oath of mine; only you must not take my son back there."
-
I said to my master, "Perhaps the woman will not follow me.'
-
I am standing here by the spring of water; let the young woman who comes out to draw, to whom I shall say, "Please give me a little water from your jar to drink,"

-
The sons of Simeon: Jemuel, Jamin, Ohad, Jachin, Zohar, and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman; these are the families of Simeon.

-
If a woman has a discharge of blood for many days, not at the time of her impurity, or if she has a discharge beyond the time of her impurity, all the days of the discharge she shall continue in uncleanness; as in the days of her impurity, she shall be unclean.
-
for her who is in the infirmity of her period, for anyone, male or female, who has a discharge, and for the man who lies with a woman who is unclean.
-
You shall not uncover the nakedness of a woman and her daughter, and you shall not take her son's daughter or her daughter's daughter to uncover her nakedness; they are your flesh; it is depravity.
-
And you shall not take a woman as a rival to her sister, uncovering her nakedness while her sister is still alive.
-
You shall not approach a woman to uncover her nakedness while she is in her menstrual uncleanness.
-
You shall not lie with a male as with a woman; it is an abomination.
-
You shall not have sexual relations with any animal and defile yourself with it, nor shall any woman give herself to an animal to have sexual relations with it: it is perversion.

-
He shall marry only a woman who is a virgin.
-
A widow, or a divorced woman, or a woman who has been defiled, a prostitute, these he shall not marry. He shall marry a virgin of his own kin,

A man whose mother was an Israelite and whose father was an Egyptian came out among the people of Israel; and the Israelite woman's son and a certain Israelite began fighting in the camp.

-
Speak to the Israelites: When a man or a woman wrongs another, breaking faith with the Lord, that person incurs guilt
-
The priest shall set the woman before the Lord, dishevel the woman's hair, and place in her hands the grain offering of remembrance, which is the grain offering of jealousy. In his own hand the priest shall have the water of bitterness that brings the curse.
-
—let the priest make the woman take the oath of the curse and say to the woman—"the Lord make you an execration and an oath among your people, when the Lord makes your uterus drop, your womb discharge;
-
now may this water that brings the curse enter your bowels and make your womb discharge, your uterus drop!" And the woman shall say, "Amen. Amen."

He shall make the woman drink the water of bitterness that brings the curse, and the water that brings the curse shall enter her and cause bitter pain.
-
The priest shall take the grain offering of jealousy out of the woman's hand, and shall elevate the grain offering before the Lord and bring it to the altar;
-
and the priest shall take a handful of the grain offering, as its memorial portion, and turn it into smoke on the altar, and afterward shall make the woman drink the water.
-
When he has made her drink the water, then, if she has defiled herself and has been unfaithful to her husband, the water that brings the curse shall enter into her and cause bitter pain, and her womb shall discharge, her uterus drop, and the woman shall become an execration among her people.
-
But if the woman has not defiled herself and is clean, then she shall be immune and be able to conceive children.
-

While they were at Hazeroth, Miriam and Aaron spoke against Moses because of the Cushite woman whom he had married (for he had indeed married a Cushite woman);

-
he went after the Israelite man into the tent, and pierced the two of them, the Israelite and the woman, through the belly. So the plague was stopped among the people of Israel.

Has anyone become engaged to a woman but not yet married her? He should go back to his house, or he might die in the battle and another marry her."
-
suppose you see among the captives a beautiful woman whom you desire and want to marry,
-
A woman shall not wear a man's apparel, nor shall a man put on a woman's garment; for whoever does such things is abhorrent to the Lord your God.
-
Suppose a man marries a woman, but after going in to her, he dislikes her
-
and makes up charges against her, slandering her by saying, "I married this woman; but when I lay with her, I did not find evidence of her virginity."
-
The father of the young woman and her mother shall then submit the evidence of the young woman's virginity to the elders of the city at the gate.
-
The father of the young woman shall say to the elders: "I gave my daughter in marriage to this man but he dislikes her;
-
they shall fine him one hundred shekels of silver (which they shall give to the young woman's father) because he has slandered a virgin of Israel. She shall remain his wife; he shall not be permitted to divorce her as long as he lives.
-
If, however, this charge is true, that evidence of the young woman's virginity was not found,
-
then they shall bring the young woman out to the entrance of her father's house and the men of her town shall stone her to death, because she committed a disgraceful act in Israel by prostituting herself in her father's house. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.
-
If a man is caught lying with the wife of another man, both of them shall die, the man who lay with the woman as well as the woman. So you shall purge the evil from Israel.
-
If there is a young woman, a virgin already engaged to be married, and a man meets her in the town and lies with her,
-
you shall bring both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death, the young woman because she did not cry for help in the town and the man because he violated his neighbor's wife. So you shall purge the evil from your midst.
-
But if the man meets the engaged woman in the open country, and the man seizes her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die.
-
You shall do nothing to the young woman; the young woman has not committed an offense punishable by death, because this case is like that of someone who attacks and murders a neighbor.
-
Since he found her in the open country, the engaged woman may have cried for help, but there was no one to rescue her.
-
the man who lay with her shall give fifty shekels of silver to the young woman's father, and she shall become his wife. Because he violated her he shall not be permitted to divorce her as long as he lives.
-
Suppose a man enters into marriage with a woman, but she does not please him because he finds something objectionable about her, and so he writes her a certificate of divorce, puts it in her hand, and sends her out of his house; she then leaves his house
-
You shall become engaged to a woman, but another man shall lie with her. You shall build a house, but not live in it. You shall plant a vineyard, but not enjoy its fruit.
-
It may be that there is among you a man or woman, or a family or tribe, whose heart is already turning away from the Lord our God to serve the gods of those nations. It may be that there is among you a root sprouting poisonous and bitter growth.

-
but you have risen up against my father's house this day, and have killed his sons, seventy men on one stone, and have made Abimelech, the son of his slave woman, king over the lords of Shechem, because he is your kinsman—
-
But a certain woman threw an upper millstone on Abimelech's head, and crushed his skull.
-
Immediately he called to the young man who carried his armor and said to him, "Draw your sword and kill me, so people will not say about me, "A woman killed him.' " So the young man thrust him through, and he died.
-
Gilead's wife also bore him sons; and when his wife's sons grew up, they drove Jephthah away, saying to him, "You shall not inherit anything in our father's house; for you are the son of another woman."
-
And the angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, "Although you are barren, having borne no children, you shall conceive and bear a son.
-
Then the woman came and told her husband, "A man of God came to me, and his appearance was like that of an angel of God, most awe-inspiring; I did not ask him where he came from, and he did not tell me his name;
-
God listened to Manoah, and the angel of God came again to the woman as she sat in the field; but her husband Manoah was not with her.
-
So the woman ran quickly and told her husband, "The man who came to me the other day has appeared to me."
-
Manoah got up and followed his wife, and came to the man and said to him, "Are you the man who spoke to this woman?" And he said, "I am."
-
The angel of the Lord said to Manoah, "Let the woman give heed to all that I said to her.
-
The woman bore a son, and named him Samson. The boy grew, and the Lord blessed him.
-
Once Samson went down to Timnah, and at Timnah he saw a Philistine woman.
-
Then he came up, and told his father and mother, "I saw a Philistine woman at Timnah; now get her for me as my wife."
-
But his father and mother said to him, "Is there not a woman among your kin, or among all our people, that you must go to take a wife from the uncircumcised Philistines?" But Samson said to his father, "Get her for me, because she pleases me."
-
Then he went down and talked with the woman, and she pleased Samson.
-
His father went down to the woman, and Samson made a feast there as the young men were accustomed to do.
-
After this he fell in love with a woman in the valley of Sorek, whose name was Delilah.
-
We your servants have straw and fodder for our donkeys, with bread and wine for me and the woman and the young man along with us. We need nothing more."

-
The Levite, the husband of the woman who was murdered, answered, "I came to Gibeah that belongs to Benjamin, I and my concubine, to spend the night.
-
This is what you shall do; every male and every woman that has lain with a male you shall devote to destruction."
-
both Mahlon and Chilion also died, so that the woman was left without her two sons and her husband.
-
Then Boaz said to his servant who was in charge of the reapers, "To whom does this young woman belong?"
-
At midnight the man was startled, and turned over, and there, lying at his feet, was a woman!
-
And now, my daughter, do not be afraid, I will do for you all that you ask, for all the assembly of my people know that you are a worthy woman.
-
So she lay at his feet until morning, but got up before one person could recognize another; for he said, "It must not be known that the woman came to the threshing floor."
-
Then all the people who were at the gate, along with the elders, said, "We are witnesses. May the Lord make the woman who is coming into your house like Rachel and Leah, who together built up the house of Israel. May you produce children in Ephrathah and bestow a name in Bethlehem;
-
and, through the children that the Lord will give you by this young woman, may your house be like the house of Perez, whom Tamar bore to Judah."
-
But Hannah answered, "No, my lord, I am a woman deeply troubled; I have drunk neither wine nor strong drink, but I have been pouring out my soul before the Lord.
-
Do not regard your servant as a worthless woman, for I have been speaking out of my great anxiety and vexation all this time."
-
And she said, "Let your servant find favor in your sight." Then the woman went to her quarters, ate and drank with her husband, and her countenance was sad no longer.
-
Her husband Elkanah said to her, "Do what seems best to you, wait until you have weaned him; only—may the Lord establish his word." So the woman remained and nursed her son, until she weaned him.
-
And she said, "Oh, my lord! As you live, my lord, I am the woman who was standing here in your presence, praying to the Lord.
-
Then Eli would bless Elkanah and his wife, and say, "May the Lord repay you with children by this woman for the gift that she made to the Lord"; and then they would return to their home.
-
Now go and attack Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey.' "
-
Then Saul's anger was kindled against Jonathan. He said to him, "You son of a perverse, rebellious woman! Do I not know that you have chosen the son of Jesse to your own shame, and to the shame of your mother's nakedness?
-
Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the name of his wife Abigail. The woman was clever and beautiful, but the man was surly and mean; he was a Calebite.
-
David struck the land, leaving neither man nor woman alive, but took away the sheep, the oxen, the donkeys, the camels, and the clothing, and came back to Achish.
-
David left neither man nor woman alive to be brought back to Gath, thinking, "They might tell about us, and say, "David has done so and so.' " Such was his practice all the time he lived in the country of the Philistines.
-
Then Saul said to his servants, "Seek out for me a woman who is a medium, so that I may go to her and inquire of her." His servants said to him, "There is a medium at Endor."
-
So Saul disguised himself and put on other clothes and went there, he and two men with him. They came to the woman by night. And he said, "Consult a spirit for me, and bring up for me the one whom I name to you."
-
The woman said to him, "Surely you know what Saul has done, how he has cut off the mediums and the wizards from the land. Why then are you laying a snare for my life to bring about my death?"
-
Then the woman said, "Whom shall I bring up for you?" He answered, "Bring up Samuel for me."
-
When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out with a loud voice; and the woman said to Saul, "Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!"
-
The king said to her, "Have no fear; what do you see?" The woman said to Saul, "I see a divine being coming up out of the ground."
-
The woman came to Saul, and when she saw that he was terrified, she said to him, "Your servant has listened to you; I have taken my life in my hand, and have listened to what you have said to me.
-
He refused, and said, "I will not eat." But his servants, together with the woman, urged him; and he listened to their words. So he got up from the ground and sat on the bed.
-
Now the woman had a fatted calf in the house. She quickly slaughtered it, and she took flour, kneaded it, and baked unleavened cakes.
-
The words of Ishbaal made Abner very angry; he said, "Am I a dog's head for Judah? Today I keep showing loyalty to the house of your father Saul, to his brothers, and to his friends, and have not given you into the hand of David; and yet you charge me now with a crime concerning this woman.
-
It happened, late one afternoon, when David rose from his couch and was walking about on the roof of the king's house, that he saw from the roof a woman bathing; the woman was very beautiful.
-
David sent someone to inquire about the woman. It was reported, "This is Bathsheba daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite."
-
The woman conceived; and she sent and told David, "I am pregnant."
-
Who killed Abimelech son of Jerubbaal? Did not a woman throw an upper millstone on him from the wall, so that he died at Thebez? Why did you go so near the wall?' then you shall say, "Your servant Uriah the Hittite is dead too.' "
-
He called the young man who served him and said, "Put this woman out of my presence, and bolt the door after her."
-
Her brother Absalom said to her, "Has Amnon your brother been with you? Be quiet for now, my sister; he is your brother; do not take this to heart." So Tamar remained, a desolate woman, in her brother Absalom's house.
-
Joab sent to Tekoa and brought from there a wise woman. He said to her, "Pretend to be a mourner; put on mourning garments, do not anoint yourself with oil, but behave like a woman who has been mourning many days for the dead.
-
When the woman of Tekoa came to the king, she fell on her face to the ground and did obeisance, and said, "Help, O king!"
-
Then the king said to the woman, "Go to your house, and I will give orders concerning you."
-
The woman of Tekoa said to the king, "On me be the guilt, my lord the king, and on my father's house; let the king and his throne be guiltless."
-
Then the woman said, "Please let your servant speak a word to my lord the king." He said, "Speak."
-
The woman said, "Why then have you planned such a thing against the people of God? For in giving this decision the king convicts himself, inasmuch as the king does not bring his banished one home again.
-
Then the king answered the woman, "Do not withhold from me anything I ask you." The woman said, "Let my lord the king speak."
-
The king said, "Is the hand of Joab with you in all this?" The woman answered and said, "As surely as you live, my lord the king, one cannot turn right or left from anything that my lord the king has said. For it was your servant Joab who commanded me; it was he who put all these words into the mouth of your servant.
-
There were born to Absalom three sons, and one daughter whose name was Tamar; she was a beautiful woman.
-
When Absalom's servants came to the woman at the house, they said, "Where are Ahimaaz and Jonathan?" The woman said to them, "They have crossed over the brook of water." And when they had searched and could not find them, they returned to Jerusalem.
-
Then a wise woman called from the city, "Listen! Listen! Tell Joab, "Come here, I want to speak to you.' "
-
He came near her; and the woman said, "Are you Joab?" He answered, "I am." Then she said to him, "Listen to the words of your servant." He answered, "I am listening."
-
That is not the case! But a man of the hill country of Ephraim, called Sheba son of Bichri, has lifted up his hand against King David; give him up alone, and I will withdraw from the city." The woman said to Joab, "His head shall be thrown over the wall to you."
-
Then the woman went to all the people with her wise plan. And they cut off the head of Sheba son of Bichri, and threw it out to Joab. So he blew the trumpet, and they dispersed from the city, and all went to their homes, while Joab returned to Jerusalem to the king.
-
The one woman said, "Please, my lord, this woman and I live in the same house; and I gave birth while she was in the house.
-
Then on the third day after I gave birth, this woman also gave birth. We were together; there was no one else with us in the house, only the two of us were in the house.
-
Then this woman's son died in the night, because she lay on him.
-
But the other woman said, "No, the living son is mine, and the dead son is yours." The first said, "No, the dead son is yours, and the living son is mine." So they argued before the king.
-
But the woman whose son was alive said to the king—because compassion for her son burned within her—"Please, my lord, give her the living boy; certainly do not kill him!" The other said, "It shall be neither mine nor yours; divide it."
-
Then the king responded: "Give the first woman the living boy; do not kill him. She is his mother."
-
But the Lord said to Ahijah, "The wife of Jeroboam is coming to inquire of you concerning her son; for he is sick. Thus and thus you shall say to her." When she came, she pretended to be another woman.
-
After this the son of the woman, the mistress of the house, became ill; his illness was so severe that there was no breath left in him.
-
So the woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God, and that the word of the Lord in your mouth is truth."
-
One day Elisha was passing through Shunem, where a wealthy woman lived, who urged him to have a meal. So whenever he passed that way, he would stop there for a meal.
-
He said to his servant Gehazi, "Call the Shunammite woman." When he had called her, she stood before him.
-
The woman conceived and bore a son at that season, in due time, as Elisha had declared to her.
-
So she set out, and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her coming, he said to Gehazi his servant, "Look, there is the Shunammite woman;
-
Elisha summoned Gehazi and said, "Call the Shunammite woman." So he called her. When she came to him, he said, "Take your son."
-
Now as the king of Israel was walking on the city wall, a woman cried out to him, "Help, my lord king!"
-
But then the king asked her, "What is your complaint?" She answered, "This woman said to me, "Give up your son; we will eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.'
-
When the king heard the words of the woman he tore his clothes—now since he was walking on the city wall, the people could see that he had sackcloth on his body underneath—
-
Now Elisha had said to the woman whose son he had restored to life, "Get up and go with your household, and settle wherever you can; for the Lord has called for a famine, and it will come on the land for seven years."
-
So the woman got up and did according to the word of the man of God; she went with her household and settled in the land of the Philistines seven years.
-
At the end of the seven years, when the woman returned from the land of the Philistines, she set out to appeal to the king for her house and her land.
-
While he was telling the king how Elisha had restored a dead person to life, the woman whose son he had restored to life appealed to the king for her house and her land. Gehazi said, "My lord king, here is the woman, and here is her son whom Elisha restored to life."
-
When the king questioned the woman, she told him. So the king appointed an official for her, saying, "Restore all that was hers, together with all the revenue of the fields from the day that she left the land until now."
-
Then he went in and ate and drank; he said, "See to that cursed woman and bury her; for she is a king's daughter."
-
The sons of Judah: Er, Onan, and Shelah; these three the Canaanite woman Bath-shua bore to him. Now Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the Lord, and he put him to death.
-
and he distributed to every person in Israel—man and woman alike—to each a loaf of bread, a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.
-
Whoever would not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether young or old, man or woman.
-
For the children of Athaliah, that wicked woman, had broken into the house of God, and had even used all the dedicated things of the house of the Lord for the Baals.
-
Therefore he brought up against them the king of the Chaldeans, who killed their youths with the sword in the house of their sanctuary, and had no compassion on young man or young woman, the aged or the feeble; he gave them all into his hand.
-
"All the king's servants and the people of the king's provinces know that if any man or woman goes to the king inside the inner court without being called, there is but one law—all alike are to be put to death. Only if the king holds out the golden scepter to someone, may that person live. I myself have not been called to come in to the king for thirty days."
-
But he said to her, "You speak as any foolish woman would speak. Shall we receive the good at the hand of God, and not receive the bad?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
-
"A mortal, born of woman, few of days and full of trouble,
-
What are mortals, that they can be clean? Or those born of woman, that they can be righteous?
-
"They harm the childless woman, and do no good to the widow.
-
How then can a mortal be righteous before God? How can one born of woman be pure?
-
"If my heart has been enticed by a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbor's door;
-
trembling took hold of them there, pains as of a woman in labor,
-
He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children. Praise the Lord!
-
You will be saved from the loose woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words,
-
For the lips of a loose woman drip honey, and her speech is smoother than oil;
-
Why should you be intoxicated, my son, by another woman and embrace the bosom of an adulteress?
-
that they may keep you from the loose woman, from the adulteress with her smooth words.
-
Then a woman comes toward him, decked out like a prostitute, wily of heart.
-
The foolish woman is loud; she is ignorant and knows nothing.
-
A gracious woman gets honor, but she who hates virtue is covered with shame. The timid become destitute, but the aggressive gain riches.
-
Like a gold ring in a pig's snout is a beautiful woman without good sense.
-
The wise woman builds her house, but the foolish tears it down with her own hands.
-
The mouth of a loose woman is a deep pit; he with whom the Lord is angry falls into it.
-
an unloved woman when she gets a husband, and a maid when she succeeds her mistress.
-
Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.
-
I found more bitter than death the woman who is a trap, whose heart is snares and nets, whose hands are fetters; one who pleases God escapes her, but the sinner is taken by her.
-
which my mind has sought repeatedly, but I have not found. One man among a thousand I found, but a woman among all these I have not found.
-
Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Look, the young woman is with child and shall bear a son, and shall name him Immanuel.
-
and they will be dismayed. Pangs and agony will seize them; they will be in anguish like a woman in labor. They will look aghast at one another; their faces will be aflame.
-
Therefore my loins are filled with anguish; pangs have seized me, like the pangs of a woman in labor; I am bowed down so that I cannot hear, I am dismayed so that I cannot see.
-
Like a woman with child, who writhes and cries out in her pangs when she is near her time, so were we because of you, O Lord;
-
For a long time I have held my peace, I have kept still and restrained myself; now I will cry out like a woman in labor, I will gasp and pant.
-
Woe to anyone who says to a father, "What are you begetting?" or to a woman, "With what are you in labor?"
-
Can a woman forget her nursing child, or show no compassion for the child of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you.
-
Sing, O barren one who did not bear; burst into song and shout, you who have not been in labor! For the children of the desolate woman will be more than the children of her that is married, says the Lord.
-
For as a young man marries a young woman, so shall your builder marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.
-
For I heard a cry as of a woman in labor, anguish as of one bringing forth her first child, the cry of daughter Zion gasping for breath, stretching out her hands, "Woe is me! I am fainting before killers!"
-
"We have heard news of them, our hands fall helpless; anguish has taken hold of us, pain as of a woman in labor.
-
What will you say when they set as head over you those whom you have trained to be your allies? Will not pangs take hold of you, like those of a woman in labor?
-
O inhabitant of Lebanon, nested among the cedars, how you will groan when pangs come upon you, pain as of a woman in labor!
-
Ask now, and see, can a man bear a child? Why then do I see every man with his hands on his loins like a woman in labor? Why has every face turned pale?
-
How long will you waver, O faithless daughter? For the Lord has created a new thing on the earth: a woman encompasses a man.
-
And now thus says the Lord God of hosts, the God of Israel: Why are you doing such great harm to yourselves, to cut off man and woman, child and infant, from the midst of Judah, leaving yourselves without a remnant?
-
Stand by the road and watch, you inhabitant of Aroer! Ask the man fleeing and the woman escaping; say, "What has happened?"
-
the towns shall be taken and the strongholds seized. The hearts of the warriors of Moab, on that day, shall be like the heart of a woman in labor.
-
Look, he shall mount up and swoop down like an eagle, and spread his wings against Bozrah, and the heart of the warriors of Edom in that day shall be like the heart of a woman in labor.
-
Damascus has become feeble, she turned to flee, and panic seized her; anguish and sorrows have taken hold of her, as of a woman in labor.
-
The king of Babylon heard news of them, and his hands fell helpless; anguish seized him, pain like that of a woman in labor.
-
with you I smash man and woman; with you I smash the old man and the boy; with you I smash the young man and the girl;
-
if he does not eat upon the mountains or lift up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, does not defile his neighbor's wife or approach a woman during her menstrual period,
-
Mortal, when the house of Israel lived on their own soil, they defiled it with their ways and their deeds; their conduct in my sight was like the uncleanness of a woman in her menstrual period.
-
They shall not marry a widow, or a divorced woman, but only a virgin of the stock of the house of Israel, or a widow who is the widow of a priest.
-
He shall set his mind to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and he shall bring terms of peace and perform them. In order to destroy the kingdom, he shall give him a woman in marriage; but it shall not succeed or be to his advantage.
-
The Lord said to me again, "Go, love a woman who has a lover and is an adulteress, just as the Lord loves the people of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love raisin cakes."
-
Now why do you cry aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pangs have seized you like a woman in labor?
-
Writhe and groan, O daughter Zion, like a woman in labor; for now you shall go forth from the city and camp in the open country; you shall go to Babylon. There you shall be rescued, there the Lord will redeem you from the hands of your enemies.
-
Then a leaden cover was lifted, and there was a woman sitting in the basket!
-
But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
-
But I say to you that anyone who divorces his wife, except on the ground of unchastity, causes her to commit adultery; and whoever marries a divorced woman commits adultery.
-
Then suddenly a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe of his cloak,
-
Jesus turned, and seeing her he said, "Take heart, daughter; your faith has made you well." And instantly the woman was made well.
-
He told them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven is like yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened."
-
Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came out and started shouting, "Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is tormented by a demon."
-
Then Jesus answered her, "Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish." And her daughter was healed instantly.
-
Last of all, the woman herself died.
-
a woman came to him with an alabaster jar of very costly ointment, and she poured it on his head as he sat at the table.
-
But Jesus, aware of this, said to them, "Why do you trouble the woman? She has performed a good service for me.
-
Now there was a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years.
-
But the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came in fear and trembling, fell down before him, and told him the whole truth.
-
but a woman whose little daughter had an unclean spirit immediately heard about him, and she came and bowed down at his feet.
-
Now the woman was a Gentile, of Syrophoenician origin. She begged him to cast the demon out of her daughter.
-
none of the seven left children. Last of all the woman herself died.
-
While he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at the table, a woman came with an alabaster jar of very costly ointment of nard, and she broke open the jar and poured the ointment on his head.
-
And a woman in the city, who was a sinner, having learned that he was eating in the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
-
Now when the Pharisee who had invited him saw it, he said to himself, "If this man were a prophet, he would have known who and what kind of woman this is who is touching him—that she is a sinner."
-
Then turning toward the woman, he said to Simon, "Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has bathed my feet with her tears and dried them with her hair.
-
And he said to the woman, "Your faith has saved you; go in peace."
-
Now there was a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years; and though she had spent all she had on physicians, no one could cure her.
-
When the woman saw that she could not remain hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before him, she declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed.
-
Now as they went on their way, he entered a certain village, where a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home.
-
While he was saying this, a woman in the crowd raised her voice and said to him, "Blessed is the womb that bore you and the breasts that nursed you!"
-
And just then there appeared a woman with a spirit that had crippled her for eighteen years. She was bent over and was quite unable to stand up straight.
-
When Jesus saw her, he called her over and said, "Woman, you are set free from your ailment."
-
And ought not this woman, a daughter of Abraham whom Satan bound for eighteen long years, be set free from this bondage on the sabbath day?"
-
It is like yeast that a woman took and mixed in with three measures of flour until all of it was leavened."
-
"Or what woman having ten silver coins, if she loses one of them, does not light a lamp, sweep the house, and search carefully until she finds it?
-
"Anyone who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery, and whoever marries a woman divorced from her husband commits adultery.
-
Finally the woman also died.
-
In the resurrection, therefore, whose wife will the woman be? For the seven had married her."
-
But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know him."
-
And Jesus said to her, "Woman, what concern is that to you and to me? My hour has not yet come."
-
A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink."
-
The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria?" (Jews do not share things in common with Samaritans.)
-
The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water?
-
The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water."
-
The woman answered him, "I have no husband." Jesus said to her, "You are right in saying, "I have no husband';
-
The woman said to him, "Sir, I see that you are a prophet.
-
Jesus said to her, "Woman, believe me, the hour is coming when you will worship the Father neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem.
-
The woman said to him, "I know that Messiah is coming" (who is called Christ). "When he comes, he will proclaim all things to us."
-
Just then his disciples came. They were astonished that he was speaking with a woman, but no one said, "What do you want?" or, "Why are you speaking with her?"
-
Then the woman left her water jar and went back to the city. She said to the people,
-
Many Samaritans from that city believed in him because of the woman's testimony, "He told me everything I have ever done."
-
They said to the woman, "It is no longer because of what you said that we believe, for we have heard for ourselves, and we know that this is truly the Savior of the world."
-
The scribes and the Pharisees brought a woman who had been caught in adultery; and making her stand before all of them,
-
they said to him, "Teacher, this woman was caught in the very act of committing adultery.
-
When they heard it, they went away, one by one, beginning with the elders; and Jesus was left alone with the woman standing before him.
-
Jesus straightened up and said to her, "Woman, where are they? Has no one condemned you?"
-
When a woman is in labor, she has pain, because her hour has come. But when her child is born, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world.
-
but Peter was standing outside at the gate. So the other disciple, who was known to the high priest, went out, spoke to the woman who guarded the gate, and brought Peter in.
-
The woman said to Peter, "You are not also one of this man's disciples, are you?" He said, "I am not."
-
When Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing beside her, he said to his mother, "Woman, here is your son."
-
They said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping?" She said to them, "They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have laid him."
-
Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you looking for?" Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away."
-
Paul went on also to Derbe and to Lystra, where there was a disciple named Timothy, the son of a Jewish woman who was a believer; but his father was a Greek.
-
A certain woman named Lydia, a worshiper of God, was listening to us; she was from the city of Thyatira and a dealer in purple cloth. The Lord opened her heart to listen eagerly to what was said by Paul.
-
But some of them joined him and became believers, including Dionysius the Areopagite and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.
-
Thus a married woman is bound by the law to her husband as long as he lives; but if her husband dies, she is discharged from the law concerning the husband.
-
Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: "It is well for a man not to touch a woman."
-
But because of cases of sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband.
-
And if any woman has a husband who is an unbeliever, and he consents to live with her, she should not divorce him.
-
and his interests are divided. And the unmarried woman and the virgin are anxious about the affairs of the Lord, so that they may be holy in body and spirit; but the married woman is anxious about the affairs of the world, how to please her husband.
-
but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled disgraces her head—it is one and the same thing as having her head shaved.
-
For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, she should wear a veil.
-
For a man ought not to have his head veiled, since he is the image and reflection of God; but woman is the reflection of man.
-
Indeed, man was not made from woman, but woman from man.
-
Neither was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man.
-
For this reason a woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
-
Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man or man independent of woman.
-
For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman; but all things come from God.
-
Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head unveiled?
-
but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.
-
If there is anything they desire to know, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.
-
But when the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the law,
-
For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and the other by a free woman.
-
One, the child of the slave, was born according to the flesh; the other, the child of the free woman, was born through the promise.
-
Now this is an allegory: these women are two covenants. One woman, in fact, is Hagar, from Mount Sinai, bearing children for slavery.
-
But the other woman corresponds to the Jerusalem above; she is free, and she is our mother.
-
For it is written, "Rejoice, you childless one, you who bear no children, burst into song and shout, you who endure no birth pangs; for the children of the desolate woman are more numerous than the children of the one who is married."
-
But what does the scripture say? "Drive out the slave and her child; for the child of the slave will not share the inheritance with the child of the free woman."
-
So then, friends, we are children, not of the slave but of the free woman.
-
When they say, "There is peace and security," then sudden destruction will come upon them, as labor pains come upon a pregnant woman, and there will be no escape!
-
Let a woman learn in silence with full submission.
-
I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she is to keep silent.
-
and Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.
-
If any believing woman has relatives who are really widows, let her assist them; let the church not be burdened, so that it can assist those who are real widows.
-
Husbands, in the same way, show consideration for your wives in your life together, paying honor to the woman as the weaker sex, since they too are also heirs of the gracious gift of life—so that nothing may hinder your prayers.
-
But I have this against you: you tolerate that woman Jezebel, who calls herself a prophet and is teaching and beguiling my servants to practice fornication and to eat food sacrificed to idols.
-
A great portent appeared in heaven: a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars.
-
His tail swept down a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. Then the dragon stood before the woman who was about to bear a child, so that he might devour her child as soon as it was born.
-
and the woman fled into the wilderness, where she has a place prepared by God, so that there she can be nourished for one thousand two hundred sixty days.
-
So when the dragon saw that he had been thrown down to the earth, he pursued the woman who had given birth to the male child.
-
But the woman was given the two wings of the great eagle, so that she could fly from the serpent into the wilderness, to her place where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time.
-
Then from his mouth the serpent poured water like a river after the woman, to sweep her away with the flood.
-
But the earth came to the help of the woman; it opened its mouth and swallowed the river that the dragon had poured from his mouth.
-
Then the dragon was angry with the woman, and went off to make war on the rest of her children, those who keep the commandments of God and hold the testimony of Jesus.
-
So he carried me away in the spirit into a wilderness, and I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was full of blasphemous names, and it had seven heads and ten horns.
-
The woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and jewels and pearls, holding in her hand a golden cup full of abominations and the impurities of her fornication;
-
And I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the witnesses to Jesus. When I saw her, I was greatly amazed.
-
But the angel said to me, "Why are you so amazed? I will tell you the mystery of the woman, and of the beast with seven heads and ten horns that carries her.
-
"This calls for a mind that has wisdom: the seven heads are seven mountains on which the woman is seated; also, they are seven kings,
-
The woman you saw is the great city that rules over the kings of the earth."
