Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.
I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.(a)
The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.(a)
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.(d)
For they intended evil against thee: they imagined a mischievous device, which they are not able to perform.
Rest in the Lord , and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.(c)
For they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain.
To give subtilty to the simple, to the young man knowledge and discretion.(b)
Discretion shall preserve thee, understanding shall keep thee:
My son, let not them depart from thine eyes: keep sound wisdom and discretion:
That thou mayest regard discretion, and that thy lips may keep knowledge.
I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.(c)
A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord : but a man of wicked devices will he condemn.
He that is soon angry dealeth foolishly: and a man of wicked devices is hated.
He that deviseth to do evil shall be called a mischievous person.
What hath my beloved to do in mine house, seeing she hath wrought lewdness with many, and the holy flesh is passed from thee? when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest.(g) (h)
The anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have executed, and till he have performed the thoughts of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it perfectly.
The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he have done it, and until he have performed the intents of his heart: in the latter days ye shall consider it.
Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the Lord hath raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the Lord , the vengeance of his temple.(b)

Brown-Driver-Brigg's Information

All of the original Hebrew and Aramaic words are arranged by the numbering system from Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible. In some cases more than one form of the word — such as the masculine and feminine forms of a noun — may be listed.

Each entry is a Hebrew word, unless it is designated as Aramaic. Immediately after each word is given its equivalent in English letters, according to a system of transliteration. Then follows the phonetic. Next follows the Brown-Driver-Briggs' Definitions given in English.

Then ensues a reference to the same word as found in Theological Wordbook of the Old Testament (TWOT), by R. Laird Harris, Gleason L. Archer, Jr., and Bruce K. Waltke. This section makes an association between the unique number used by TWOT with the Strong's number.

Thayers Information

All of the original Greek words are arranged by the numbering system from Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible. The Strong's numbering system arranges most Greek words by their alphabetical order. This renders reference easy without recourse to the Greek characters. In some cases more than one form of the word - such as the masculine, feminine, and neuter forms of a noun - may be listed.

Immediately after each word is given its exact equivalent in English letters, according to the system of transliteration laid down in the scheme here following. Then follows the phonetic. Next follows the Thayer's Definitions given in English.

Then ensues a reference to the same word as found in the ten-volume Theological Dictionary of the New Testament (TDNT), edited by Gerhard Kittel. Both volume and page numbers cite where the word may be found.

The presence of an asterisk indicates that the corresponding entry in the Theological Dictionary of the New Testament may appear in a different form than that displayed in Thayers' Greek Definitions.
