11 verses in the King James Version. Word study for “put” →
Put away from thee a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from thee.
Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?
The light of the righteous rejoiceth: but the lamp of the wicked shall be put out.
Whoso curseth his father or his mother, his lamp shall be put out in obscure darkness.
And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite.
For there shall be no reward to the evil man; the candle of the wicked shall be put out.
Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men:
For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince whom thine eyes have seen.
Go not forth hastily to strive, lest thou know not what to do in the end thereof, when thy neighbour hath put thee to shame.
Lest he that heareth it put thee to shame, and thine infamy turn not away.
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.
