You yourself will live to a ripe old age, die in peace, and be buried.

(SEE 25:7)

Ishmael was 137 years old when he died.

When Jacob had finished giving instructions to his sons, he lay back down and died.

After you have seen it, you will die, as your brother Aaron did,

The LORD said to Moses, "You will soon die, and after your death the people will become unfaithful to me and break the covenant that I made with them. They will abandon me and worship the pagan gods of the land they are about to enter.

When you die and are buried with your ancestors, I will make one of your sons king and will keep his kingdom strong.

For David served God's purposes in his own time, and then he died, was buried with his ancestors, and his body rotted in the grave.

"Who is the LORD?" the king demanded. "Why should I listen to him and let Israel go? I do not know the LORD; and I will not let Israel go."

The sons of Eli were scoundrels. They paid no attention to the LORD

And to Solomon he said, "My son, I charge you to acknowledge your father's God and to serve him with an undivided heart and a willing mind. He knows all our thoughts and desires. If you go to him, he will accept you; but if you turn away from him, he will abandon you forever.

The wicked tell God to leave them alone; they don't want to know his will for their lives.

How great are your actions, LORD! How deep are your thoughts!

This is something a fool cannot know; someone who is stupid cannot understand:

At your feasts you have harps and tambourines and flutes---and wine. But you don't understand what the LORD is doing,

They are always ready to tell lies; dishonesty instead of truth rules the land. The LORD says, "My people do one evil thing after another and do not acknowledge me as their God."

He gave the poor a fair trial, and all went well with him. That is what it means to know the LORD.

None of them will have to teach a neighbor to know the LORD, because all will know me, from the least to the greatest. I will forgive their sins and I will no longer remember their wrongs. I, the LORD, have spoken."

In the past you did not know God, and so you were slaves of beings who are not gods.

But now that you know God---or, I should say, now that God knows you---how is it that you want to turn back to those weak and pitiful ruling spirits? Why do you want to become their slaves all over again?

with a flaming fire, to punish those who reject God and who do not obey the Good News about our Lord Jesus.

They claim that they know God, but their actions deny it. They are hateful and disobedient, not fit to do anything good.
