I read a verse in the Old Testament a number of times and someone else I spoke with about it read it too . But I can not remember where it is found Book , chapter and verse . I’m offering 50.00 US funds to the first person that can find it . In the KJV . I have tried multiple search engines and even Strongs exhaustive concordance, and for some reason this verse seems lost .
Here is the phrase not exactly word for word but very close “ I am not of flesh that I should forget “ thanks I’m sure someone will find it it’s there somewhere.

Hi Bob, welcome to the forum sir, I don't believe that passage is found in the Bible, but this may help:
(Romans 8:12, 13) 12 So, then, brothers, we are under obligation, not to the flesh to live according to the flesh; 13 for if you live according to the flesh, you are sure to die; but if you put the practices of the body to death by the spirit, you will live. . .
(Deuteronomy 4:31) . . .He will not desert you or bring you to ruin or forget the covenant that he swore to your forefathers.
Am 8:7 The LORD hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
Heb 6:10 [URL='https://www.christianityboard.com/1063']For
God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed (5668) toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.

Hope one of them might be the verse you are looking for.

No there isn't. Just do a search in Strong's Concordance for the word "forget". There is no such verse in the Bible.
Yes there is I have read it at least 3 times in 40 years , as well as others, you don’t read a lot of it is my guess

Maybe the question should be why is this verse being hidden ? Hard to believe that concordances over looked it , I have searched many. And as sure as the KJV was translated in England so is that verse in it . Looking for answers and saying it does not exist is just ignorant.

You say in post #11 that you’ve read it at least 3 times in the past 40 years. That’s not a lot of time invested in reading the Old Testament.

When, that is, how soon, do you intend to read the Old Testament again?

When you do, you should read it, the passage you’re searching for, for a 4th time.

I think that’s probably going to be the only way you’re ever going to find it.

Why rely on others?

Incentive to read the Old Testament (if needed): Give the $50 bounty you’re offering to yourself if / when you find it.

Bonus: Share it with readers here if / when you find it.

Be blessed and be a blessing.

So by your standards you have not read the OT once or you would know were it is and get 50.00 too !

I read all of the books of the Old Testament every year (all of the books of the NT, too) and have done so for the past quarter of a century. I haven’t used the KJV when doing it. (In fact, I think the last time I read the KJV from cover to cover would have been sometime back in the ‘70s, when I was KJVO.)

If I knew where the passage you’re looking for is, I would tell you. And decline the bounty reward.

I hope you find what you’re looking for. I think the best chance of you doing it is by reading through the Old Testament again yourself.

I’m amazed I have read that passage at least 3 times and so many have not , the Lord must anoint our reading to get many precious nuggets.

On the light side, you’ve still got a memory, $50 in your pocket and Bible bounty hunters.

If only you had time to read.
