Adversary – From the Holy Bible (KJV)

I am no preacher, but, am a prime sinner and living in this world in HIS mercy. For a sinner like me too, when I read “The Holy Bible” KJV, God gave me the following verses in the context of “Adversary” from Genesis till Revelation.

From the Old Testament (KJV)

Exo 23:22 But if thou shalt indeed obey his voice,
and do all that I speak;
then I will be an enemy unto thine enemies,
and an adversary unto thine adversaries.

Num 22:22 And God’s anger was kindled because he went:
and the angel of the LORD stood in the way for an adversary against him.
Now he was riding upon his ass,
and his two servants  were with him.

1Sa 1:6 And her adversary also provoked her sore,
for to make her fret,
because the LORD had shut up her womb.

1Sa 29:4 And the princes of the Philistines were wroth with him;
and the princes of the Philistines said unto him,
Make this fellow return,
that he may go again to his place
which thou hast appointed him,
and let him not go down with us to battle,
lest in the battle he be an adversary to us:
for wherewith should he reconcile himself unto his master?
should it not  be with the heads of these men?

so that there is neither adversary
nor evil occurrent.

Hadad the Edomite:
he  was of the king’s seed in Edom.

1Ki 11:23 And God stirred him up  another adversary,
Rezon the son of Eliadah,
which fled from his lord Hadadezer king of Zobah:

24. And he gathered men unto him,
and became captain over a band,
when David slew them  of Zobah:
and they went to Damascus,
and dwelt therein,
and reigned in Damascus.

1Ki 11:25 And he was an adversary to Israel all the days of Solomon,
beside the mischief that Hadad  did:
and he abhorred Israel,
and reigned over Syria.

and enemy  is this wicked Haman.
Then Haman was afraid before the king and the queen.

that the Almighty would answer me,
and  that mine adversary had written a book.

shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?

Isa 50:8  He is near that justifieth me;
who will contend with me? let us stand together:
who  is mine adversary? let him come near to me.

Lam 1:10 The adversary hath spread out his hand upon all her pleasant things:
for she hath seen  that the heathen entered into her sanctuary,
whom thou didst command
that they should not enter into thy congregation.

Lam 2:4 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.

Lam 4:12 The kings of the earth, and all the inhabitants of the world,
would not have believed that the adversary
and the enemy should have entered into the gates of Jerusalem.

Amo 3:11 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD;
An adversary  there shall be even round about the land;
and he shall bring down thy strength from thee,
and thy palaces shall be spoiled.

From the New Testament (KJV)

whiles thou art in the way with him;
lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge,
and the judge deliver thee to the officer,
and thou be cast into prison.

Luk 12:58 When thou goest with thine adversary to the magistrate,
as thou art in the way,
give diligence that thou mayest be delivered from him;

Avenge me of mine adversary.

give none occasion to the adversary to speak reproachfully.

1Pe 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant;

as a roaring lion,
walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour:

knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren
that are in the world.
