16 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “might” →
Thou hast also given me the necks of mine enemies; that I might destroy them that hate me.
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell among them .
The stouthearted are spoiled, they have slept their sleep: and none of the men of might have found their hands.
That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children:
That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments:
And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God.
That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD .
Nevertheless he saved them for his name’s sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.
And he led them forth by the right way, that they might go to a city of habitation.
Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.
Thou hast thrust sore at me that I might fall: but the LORD helped me.
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.
I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.
And men shall speak of the might of thy terrible acts: and I will declare thy greatness.
