better And Laban said, [It is] {better} that I give her to thee, than that I should give her to another man: abide with me. better Is] not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For [it had been] {better} for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness. better And wherefore hath the LORD brought us unto this land, to fall by the sword, that our wives and our children should be a prey? were it not {better} for us to return into Egypt? better And he said unto them, What have I done now in comparison of you? [Is] not the gleaning of the grapes of Ephraim {better} than the vintage of Abiezer? better Speak, I pray you, in the ears of all the men of Shechem, Whether [is] {better} for you, either that all the sons of Jerubbaal, [which are] threescore and ten persons, reign over you, or that one reign over you? remember also that I [am] your bone and your flesh. better And now [art] thou any thing {better} than Balak the son of Zippor, king of Moab? did he ever strive against Israel, or did he ever fight against them, better And they said unto him, Hold thy peace, lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest: [is it] {better} for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a f amily in Israel? better And he shall be unto thee a restorer of [thy] life, and a nourisher of thine old age: for thy daughter in law, which loveth thee, which is {better} to thee than seven sons, hath borne him. better <1SA1 -8> Then said Elkanah her husband to her, Hannah, why weepest thou? and why eatest thou not? and why is thy heart grieved? [am] not I {better} to thee than ten sons? better <1SA15 -22> And Samuel said, Hath the LORD [as great] delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD? Behold, to obey [is] {better} than sacrifice, [and] to hearken than the fat of rams. better <1SA15 -28> And Samuel said unto him, The LORD hath rent the kingdom of Israel from thee this day, and hath given it to a neighbour of thine, [that is] {better} than thou. better <1SA27 -1> And David said in his heart, I shall now perish one day by the hand of Saul: [there is] nothing {better} for me than that I should speedily escape into the land of the Philistines; and Saul shall despair of me, to seek me any more in any coast of Israel: so shall I escape out of his hand. better <2SA17 -14> And Absalom and all the men of Israel said, The counsel of Hushai the Archite [is] {better} than the counsel of Ahithophel. For the LORD had appointed to defeat the good counsel of Ahithophel, to the intent that the LORD might bring evi l upon Absalom. better <2SA18 -3> But the people answered, Thou shalt not go forth: for if we flee away, they will not care for us; neither if half of us die, will they care for us: but now [thou art] worth ten thousand of us: therefore now [it is] {better} that thou suc cour us out of the city. better <1KI1 -47> And moreover the king's servants came to bless our lord king David, saying, God make the name of Solomon {better} than thy name, and make his throne greater than thy throne. And the king bowed himself upon the bed. better <1KI2 -32> And the LORD shall return his blood upon his own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and {better} than he, and slew them with the sword, my father David not knowing [thereof, to wit], Abner the son of Ner, captain of the host of I srael, and Amasa the son of Jether, captain of the host of Judah. better <1KI19 -4> But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a juniper tree: and he requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough; now, O LORD, take away my life; for I [am] not {better} than my fathers. better <1KI21 -2> And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it [is] near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a {better} vineyard than it; [or], if it seem good to thee, I will give t hee the worth of it in money. better <2KI5 -12> Are] not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, {better} than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage. better <2CH21 -13> But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, [which were] {b etter} than thyself: better If it please the king, let there go a royal commandment from him, and let it be written among the laws of the Persians and the Medes, that it be not altered, That Vashti come no more before king Ahasuerus; and let the king give her royal estate unto another that is {better} than she. better A little that a righteous man hath [is] {better} than the riches of many wicked. better Because thy lovingkindness [is] {better} than life, my lips shall praise thee. better This] also shall please the LORD {better} than an ox [or] bullock that hath horns and hoofs. better For a day in thy courts [is] {better} than a thousand. I had rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of wickedness. better It is] {better} to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. better It is] {better} to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes. better The law of thy mouth [is] {better} unto me than thousands of gold and silver. better For the merchandise of it [is] {better} than the merchandise of silver, and the gain thereof than fine gold. better For wisdom [is] {better} than rubies; and all the things that may be desired are not to be compared to it. better My fruit [is] {better} than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver. better He that is] despised, and hath a servant, [is] {better} than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread. better {Better} [is] little with the fear of the LORD than great treasure and trouble therewith. better {Better} [is] a dinner of herbs where love is, than a stalled ox and hatred therewith. better {Better} [is] a little with righteousness than great revenues without right. better How much {better} [is it] to get wisdom than gold! and to get understanding rather to be chosen than silver! better {Better} [it is to be] of an humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud. better He that is] slow to anger [is] {better} than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city. better {Better} [is] a dry morsel, and quietness therewith, than an house full of sacrifices [with] strife. better {Better} [is] the poor that walketh in his integrity, than [he that is] perverse in his lips, and is a fool. better The desire of a man [is] his kindness: and a poor man [is] {better} than a liar. better It is] {better} to dwell in a corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman in a wide house. better It is] {better} to dwell in the wilderness, than with a contentious and an angry woman. better For {better} [it is] that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen. better It is] {better} to dwell in the corner of the housetop, than with a brawling woman and in a wide house. better Open rebuke [is] {better} than secret love. better Thine own friend, and thy father's friend, forsake not; neither go into thy brother's house in the day of thy calamity: [for] {better} [is] a neighbour [that is] near than a brother far off. better {Better} [is] the poor that walketh in his uprightness, than [he that is] perverse [in his] ways, though he [be] rich. better There is] nothing {better} for a man, [than] that he should eat and drink, and [that] he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it [was] from the hand of God. better Wherefore I perceive that [there is] nothing {better}, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that [is] his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him? better Yea, {better} [is he] than both they, which hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun. better {Better} [is] an handful [with] quietness, than both the hands full [with] travail and vexation of spirit. better Two [are] {better} than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. better {Better} [is] a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished. better {Better} [is it] that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. better If a man beget an hundred [children], and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also [that] he have no burial; I say, [that] an untimely birth [is] {better} than he. better {Better} [is] the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this [is] also vanity and vexation of spirit. better Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what [is] man the {better}? better A good name [is] {better} than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth. better It is] {better} to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that [is] the end of all men; and the living will lay [it] to his heart. better Sorrow [is] {better} than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. better Sorrow [is] better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made {better}. better It is] {better} to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools. better {Better} [is] the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: [and] the patient in spirit [is] better than the proud in spirit. better Better [is] the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: [and] the patient in spirit [is] {better} than the proud in spirit. better Say not thou, What is [the cause] that the former days were {better} than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this. better Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no {better} thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be merry: for that shall abide with him of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth him under the sun. better For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope: for a living dog is {better} than a dead lion. better Then said I, Wisdom [is] {better} than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom [is] despised, and his words are not heard. better Wisdom [is] {better} than weapons of war: but one sinner destroyeth much good. better Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no {better}. better Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth: for thy love [is] {better} than wine. better How fair is thy love, my sister, [my] spouse! how much {better} is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices! better Even unto them will I give in mine house and within my walls a place and a name {better} than of sons and of daughters: I will give them an everlasting name, that shall not be cut off. better They that be] slain with the sword are {better} than [they that be] slain with hunger: for these pine away, stricken through for [want of] the fruits of the field. better And I will multiply upon you man and beast; and they shall increase and bring fruit: and I will settle you after your old estates, and will do {better} [unto you] than at your beginnings: and ye shall know that I [am] the LORD. better And in all matters of wisdom [and] understanding, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten times {better} than all the magicians [and] astrologers that [were] in all his realm. better And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find [them]: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then [was it] {better} with me than now. better Pass ye unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go ye to Hamath the great: then go down to Gath of the Philistines: [be they] {better} than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border? better Therefore now, O LORD, take, I beseech thee, my life from me; for [it is] {better} for me to die than to live. better And it came to pass, when the sun did arise, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and wished in himself to die, and said, [It is] {better} for me to die than to live. better Art thou {better} than populous No, that was situate among the rivers, [that had] the waters round about it, whose rampart [was] the sea, [and] her wall [was] from the sea? better Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much {better} than they? better How much then is a man {better} than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days. better But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were {better} for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and [that] he were drowned in the depth of the sea. better Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut them off, and cast [them] from thee: it is {better} for thee to enter into life halt or maimed, rather than having two hands or two feet to be cast into everlasting fire. better And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast [it] from thee: it is {better} for thee to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire. better And whosoever shall offend one of these] little ones that believe in me, it is {better} for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he were cast into the sea. better And if thy hand offend thee, cut it off: it is {better} for thee to enter into life maimed, than having two hands to go into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: better And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it is {better} for thee to enter halt into life, than having two feet to be cast into hell, into the fire that never shall be quenched: better And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out: it is {better} for thee to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes to be cast into hell fire: better No man also having drunk old wine] straightway desireth new: for he saith, The old is {better}. better Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye {better} than the fowls? better It were {better} for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones. better What then? are we {better} than they]? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; better <1CO7 -9> But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is {better} to marry than to burn. better <1CO7 -38> So then he that giveth her] in marriage doeth well; but he that giveth her] not in marriage doeth {better}. better <1CO8 -8> But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the {better}; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. better <1CO9 -15> But I have used none of these things: neither have I written these things, that it should be so done unto me: for it were] {better} for me to die, than that any man should make my glorying void. better <1CO11 -17> Now in this that I declare unto you] I praise you] not, that ye come together not for the {better}, but for the worse. better For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far {better}: better Let] nothing be done] through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other {better} than themselves. better Being made so much {better} than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. better But, beloved, we are persuaded {better} things of you, and things that accompany salvation, though we thus speak. better And without all contradiction the less is blessed of the {better}. better For the law made nothing perfect, but the bringing in of a {better} hope did]; by the which we draw nigh unto God. better By so much was Jesus made a surety of a {better} testament. better But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon {better} promises. better But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a {better} covenant, which was established upon better promises. better It was] therefore necessary that the patterns of things in the heavens should be purified with these; but the heavenly things themselves with {better} sacrifices than these. better For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a {better} and an enduring substance. better But now they desire a {better} country], that is, an heavenly: wherefore God is not ashamed to be called their God: for he hath prepared for them a city. better Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a {better} resurrection: better God having provided some {better} thing for us, that they without us should not be made perfect. better And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh {better} things than that of] Abel. better <1PE3 -17> For it is] {better}, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well doing, than for evil doing. better <2PE2 -21> For it had been {better} for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than, after they have known it], to turn from the holy commandment delivered unto them. ~~~~~~
