'Know' in the Bible

The ox knows its owner,and the donkey its master’s feeding trough,but Israel does not know;My people do not understand.”

to those who say:“Let Him hurry up and do His work quicklyso that we can see it!Let the plan of the Holy One of Israel take placeso that we can know it!”

All the people—Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria—will know it.They will say with pride and arrogance:

The Lord will make Himself known to Egypt, and Egypt will know the Lord on that day. They will offer sacrifices and offerings; they will make vows to the Lord and fulfill them.

You who are far off, hear what I have done;you who are near, know My strength.”

Now, Lord our God, save us from his power so that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that You are the Lord—You alone.

But I know your sitting down,your going out and your coming in,and your raging against Me.

Do you not know?Have you not heard?Has it not been declared to youfrom the beginning?Have you not consideredthe foundations of the earth?

Do you not know?Have you not heard?Yahweh is the everlasting God,the Creator of the whole earth.He never grows faint or weary;there is no limit to His understanding.

so that all may see and know,consider and understand,that the hand of the Lord has done this,the Holy One of Israel has created it.

“Let them come and tell uswhat will happen.Tell us the past events,so that we may reflect on themand know the outcome,or tell us the future.

Tell us the coming events,then we will know that you are gods.Indeed, do something good or bad,then we will be in awe and perceive.

Who told about this from the beginning,so that we might know,and from times past,so that we might say: He is right?No one announced it,no one told it,no one heard your words.

I will lead the blind by a way they did not know;I will guide them on paths they have not known.I will turn darkness to light in front of themand rough places into level ground.This is what I will do for them,and I will not forsake them.

So He poured out on Jacob His furious angerand the power of war.It surrounded him with fire, but he did not know it;it burned him, but he paid no attention.

“You are My witnesses”—this is the Lord’s declaration—“and My servant whom I have chosen,so that you may know and believe Meand understand that I am He.No god was formed before Me,and there will be none after Me.

Do not be startled or afraid.Have I not told you and declared it long ago?You are my witnesses!Is there any God but Me?There is no other Rock; I do not know any.

All who make idols are nothing,and what they treasure does not profit.Their witnesses do not see or know anything,so they will be put to shame.

I will give you the treasures of darknessand riches from secret places,so that you may know that I, Yahweh,the God of Israel call you by your name.

I call you by your name,because of Jacob My servantand Israel My chosen one.I give a name to you,though you do not know Me.

I am Yahweh, and there is no other;there is no God but Me.I will strengthen you,though you do not know Me,

so that all may know from the rising of the sun to its settingthat there is no one but Me.I am Yahweh, and there is no other.

“So now hear this, lover of luxury,who sits securely,who says to herself,‘I exist, and there is no one else.I will never be a widowor know the loss of children.’

But disaster will happen to you;you will not know how to avert it.And it will fall on you,but you will be unable to ward it off.Devastation will happen to you suddenlyand unexpectedly.

Because I know that you are stubborn,and your neck is ironand your forehead bronze,

Kings will be your foster fathers,and their queens your nursing mothers.They will bow down to youwith their faces to the ground,and lick the dust at your feet.Then you will know that I am Yahweh;those who put their hope in Mewill not be put to shame.

I will make your oppressors eat their own flesh,and they will be drunk with their own bloodas with sweet wine.Then all flesh will knowthat I, Yahweh, am your Savior,and your Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.”

The Lord God has given Methe tongue of those who are instructedto know how to sustain the weary with a word.He awakens Me each morning;He awakens My ear to listen like those being instructed.

The Lord God will help Me;therefore I have not been humiliated;therefore I have set My face like flint,and I know I will not be put to shame.

Listen to Me, you who know righteousness,the people in whose heart is My instruction:do not fear disgrace by men,and do not be shattered by their taunts.

Therefore My people will know My name;therefore they will know on that daythat I am He who says:Here I am.”

so you will summon a nation you do not know,and nations who do not know you will run to you.For the Lord your God,even the Holy One of Israel,has glorified you.”

Israel’s watchmen are blind, all of them,they know nothing;all of them are mute dogs,they cannot bark;they dream, lie down,and love to sleep.

They seek Me day after dayand delight to know My ways,like a nation that does what is rightand does not abandon the justice of their God.They ask Me for righteous judgments;they delight in the nearness of God.”

They have not known the path of peace,and there is no justice in their ways.They have made their roads crooked;no one who walks on them will know peace.

For our transgressions have multiplied before You,and our sins testify against us.For our transgressions are with us,and we know our iniquities:

You will nurse on the milk of nations,and nurse at the breast of kings;you will know that I, Yahweh, am your Saviorand Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

Yet You are our Father,even though Abraham does not know usand Israel doesn’t recognize us.You, Yahweh, are our Father;from ancient times,Your name is our Redeemer.
