Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.

The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.

I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.

Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.

Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?

Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?

Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with their tongue.

Thou hast turned for me my mourning into dancing: thou hast put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;

I will incline mine ear to a parable: I will open my dark saying upon the harp.

O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.

I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old:

Though he had commanded the clouds from above, and opened the doors of heaven,

To hear the groaning of the prisoner; to loose those that are appointed to death;

That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like a river.

The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram.

For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

Open to me the gates of righteousness: I will go into them, and I will praise the LORD:

Thou openest thine hand, and satisfiest the desire of every living thing.

I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.

I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.

I opened to my beloved; but my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone: my soul failed when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

Let us get up early to the vineyards; let us see if the vine flourish, whether the tender grape appear, and the pomegranates bud forth: there will I give thee my loves.

None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:

That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?

And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; so he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.

I will open rivers in high places, and fountains in the midst of the valleys: I will make the wilderness a pool of water, and the dry land springs of water.

Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.

Yea, thou heardest not; yea, thou knewest not; yea, from that time that thine ear was not opened: for I knew that thou wouldest deal very treacherously, and wast called a transgressor from the womb.
