yonder

 

[bagwell1987]

I like that one John, wow, don't remember reading it before.

 

Yonder. Again, there isn't a scripture,  in search for verses or articles, with this word. Where did you get it?

[Good-O]

• Paradise (‎1 occurrence)

• • God would cause that abandoned land to be tilled and sown, to produce richly, and to abound with humankind and animalkind; the cities would be rebuilt and inhabited, and people would say: “That land yonder which was laid desolate has become like the garden of Eden.” (Eze 36:6-11, 29, 30, 33-35; compare Isa 51:3; Jer 31:10-12; Eze 34:25-27.)

    • @Qapla.........so you see where I got the word 'yonder' from.......can we use other Bibles other that our Stdy Bible or NWT?  Just wondering.

I rather not use other translations of the bible unless we can identify the version of the translation. As regard that text “That land yonder which was laid desolate has become like the garden of Eden.” the version of the bible is not stated in the insight book.

@Mclove

Good morning.  I put the word 'yonder' in WOL and the above is what it pulled up.  I am now looking at my IN-2, page 576, under the heading 'A Spiritual Paradise" and yes, that sentence is there.  Thank you for making me check myself again.  My old eyes aren't what they used to be.  I really enjoy this game and I hope you do too.

As regards "yonder"

(Ezekiel 36:35) . . .And people will certainly say: “That land yonder which was laid desolate has become like the garden of Eden, and the cities that were a waste and that were laid desolate and that were torn down are fortified; they have become inhabited. . . [Rbi8 - NWT Reference Bible 1984]

 

Since this is a valid edition of the NWT - I have no problem with any of our translations that are readily available in the Watchtower Library. I do agree that using the KJV, AST or others may not be the best ... but when it is in a Bible we can fine with a search in our own WTBTS library - I see no reason we cannot use it.

 

 

On with the game:

 

brace

 

(1 Peter 1:13) . . .So brace up your minds for activity; keep your senses completely; set your hope on the undeserved kindness that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. . .
 

chance

 

 

Edited November 14, 2020 by Qapla

[bagwell1987]

Chance.

Psalm 17:11 Now they hem us in;They watch for the chance to cause our downfall

 

Shorn

 

 

[Qapla]

Shorn ...

 

OK - this one has me trying to decide which of these I liked the best ... so, I decided to post them both:

• (Song of Solomon 4:2) . . .Your teeth are like a flock of newly shorn sheep That have come up from being washed, All of them bearing twins, And not one has lost her young. . .
• (Deuteronomy 18:4) . . .The firstfruits of your grain, your new wine, your oil, and the first wool that is shorn from your flock you should give him. . .
   

backwards

 

 

[bagwell1987]

I chose it because of Solomon 4:2! 

 

Backward - Genesis 9:23, So Shem and Jaʹpheth took a garment and put it upon both their shoulders and walked in backward. Thus they covered their father’s nakedness while their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father’s nakedness.

I like this one for the dignity of it.

 

Melts

[Qapla]

melts

 

(Amos 9:5) . . .For the Sovereign Lord, Jehovah of the armies, is the One who touches the land, So that it melts, and all its inhabitants will mourn; And all of it will rise like the Nile, And sink down like the Nile of Egypt. . .
 

 

absolute

[bagwell1987]

Absolute

Jer. 2:12 Stare in amazement at this, you heavens;Shudder in absolute horror,’ declares Jehovah
