6 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “lest” →
And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of the multitude, lest they should throng him.
That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
And Jesus answering them began to say, Take heed lest any man deceive you:
Lest coming suddenly he find you sleeping.
But they said, Not on the feast day , lest there be an uproar of the people.
Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak.
