'Runs' in the Bible

Now I assembled them at the river that runs to Ahava, where we camped for three days; and when I observed the people and the priests, I did not find any Levites there.

“My flesh is clothed with worms and a crust of dirt,My skin hardens and runs.

“He breaks through me with breach after breach;He runs at me like a warrior.

Let them flow away like water that runs off;When he aims his arrows, let them be as headless shafts.

He sends forth His command to the earth;His word runs very swiftly.

The name of the Lord is a strong tower;The righteous runs into it and is safe.

Come, my people, enter into your roomsAnd close your doors behind you;Hide for a little whileUntil indignation runs its course.

One courier runs to meet another,And one messenger to meet another,To tell the king of BabylonThat his city has been captured from end to end;

“You look for much, but behold, it comes to little; when you bring it home, I blow it away. Why?” declares the Lord of hosts, “Because of My house which lies desolate, while each of you runs to his own house.

So then it does not depend on the man who wills or the man who runs, but on God who has mercy.
