Jeremiah 18:19
Attend to me, O LORD. Hear what my accusers are saying!
BSB
ASV
Give heed to me, O Jehovah, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
KJV
Give heed to me, O Lord, and hearken to the voice of them that contend with me.
They would not regard a word he said, would not admit his complaints, nor take any notice of his grievances; but, Lord (says he), do thou give heed to me. It is matter of comfort to faithful ministers that, if men will not give heed to their praying.
Rare words are the text's own signal of a deliberate thread: the fewer the occurrences, the more the places it appears belong together.
The walk8
Follow this verse’s cross-references two steps out. Each card is a verse this one points to, and beneath it the verses that one points to in turn. Where several different paths arrive at the same place, that place is listed first: the text keeps returning to it. Every stop shows its own words, and every stop is a page.

Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness, but will have the light of life.”
The LORD is my light and my salvation— whom shall I fear? The LORD is the stronghold of my life— whom shall I dread?
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.
Light dawns in the darkness for the upright— for the gracious, compassionate, and righteous.
For though a righteous man may fall seven times, he still gets up; but the wicked stumble in bad times.
