Now gird up your loins like a man; I will question you, and you declare unto Me:

And thus you shall eat it: with your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. And you shall eat it in haste. It is Passover unto Jehovah.

And the hand of Jehovah came upon Elijah; and he girded up his loins and ran ahead of Ahab to the entrance of Jezreel.

You therefore gird up your loins, and arise, and speak to them all that I command you. Do not be dismayed at their faces, lest I shame you before them.

Therefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and rest your hope fully upon the grace that is to be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ;

Though He slay me, yet will I wait for Him; but I will prove my own ways before Him.

Then call, and I will answer; or let me speak, and You respond to me.

Oh, that I knew where I might find Him, that I might come to His place!

I would know the words which He would answer me, and understand what He would say to me.

There the upright could reason with Him, and I would be delivered forever from my Judge.

Oh, that I had one to hear me! Behold, my desire is that the Almighty would answer me, that the man complaining had written an indictment!

I would declare to Him the number of my steps; like a prince I would approach Him.
