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,  the following verses were given in the context of “prison” from  the Old Testament.

Gen 39:22 And the keeper of the prison committed to Joseph’s hand
all the prisoners that were in the prison;
and whatsoever they did there,
he was the doer of it.

Gen 39:23 The keeper of the prison looked not to any thing
that was under his hand;
because the LORD was with him,
and that which he did, the LORD made it to prosper.

and put out his eyes,
and brought him down to Gaza,
and bound him with fetters of brass;
and he did grind in the prison house.

Jdg 16:25 And it came to pass, when their hearts were merry,
that they said, Call for Samson,
that he may make us sport.
And they called for Samson out of the prison house;
and he made them sport: and they set him between the pillars.

and he did eat bread continually before him all the days of his life.

and put him in a prison house;
for he was in a rage with him because of this thing.
And Asa oppressed some of the people the same time.

Neh 12:39 And from above the gate of Ephraim,
and above the old gate,
and above the fish gate,
and the tower of Hananeel,

even unto the sheep gate:
and they stood still in the prison gate.

whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor.

Isa 42:7 To open the blind eyes,
to bring out the prisoners from the prison,
and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.

Isa 42:22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled;
they are all of them snared in holes,
and they are hid in prison houses:
they are for a prey,
and none delivereth;
for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

Isa 53:8 He was taken from prison and from judgment:
and who shall declare his generation?
for he was cut off out of the land of the living:
for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

Isa 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me;
because the LORD hath anointed me
to preach good tidings unto the meek;
he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives,
and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;

Jer 32:8 So Hanameel mine uncle’s son came to me
in the court of the prison according to the word of the LORD,
and said unto me, Buy my field,
I pray thee, that is in Anathoth,
which is in the country of Benjamin:
for the right of inheritance is thine,
and the redemption is thine;
buy it for thyself.
Then I knew that this was the word of the LORD.

and smote him,
and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe:
for they had made that the prison.

until the day that Jerusalem was taken:
and he was there when Jerusalem was taken.

and the king of Babylon bound him in chains,
and carried him to Babylon,
and put him in prison till the day of his death.

and he did continually eat bread before him
all the days of his life.

About David Mathi Raj Samuel
I was engaged in the computer field since 1977, particularly in Documentation, Desktop Publishing & Training field since 1986.

Presently, My SME (Subject-Matter Expert) is "The Holy Bible (KJV)" and publishing the "Subject" from the Holy Bible only. I am 69 years old now and in HIS mercy. 2022, I was admitted in the hospital due to nervous attack and bed-ridden. In the Hospital they did all the tests and gave up and said it can't be cured. Due to circumstances I was in a Home for Elders in Gurugram, India for 18 months with a 24X7 attendent. I prayed to God YeHoVaH to give me death or life to live to HIS glory. My prayers were heard, I was given life. I came out walking from the Home and witnessing the work of God every day. I am able to move alone now, Weakness and the pain in the body remains. From June 2024 onwards I returned to my routine and reading Holy Bible, Preparing daily Bible understanding , as I did earlier but with two fingers in Android and Notebook. Watering the plants, making kitchen compost, repotting the plants with fertilizer, manures, cow dung; bathing and dressing myself but buttoning is not possible. Pray for everyone that lives in my physical condition to be strengthened. YeHoVaH be pleased.
