Hosea:1:2 @ When the LORD first spoke through Hose'a, the LORD said to Hose'a, "Go, take to yourself a wife of harlotry and have children of harlotry, for the land commits great harlotry by forsaking the LORD."
rsv@Hosea:1:7 @ But I will have pity on the house of Judah, and I will deliver them by the LORD their God; I will not deliver them by bow, nor by sword, nor by war, nor by horses, nor by horsemen."
rsv@Hosea:1:9 @ And the LORD said, "Call his name Not my people, for you are not my people and I am not your God."
rsv@Hosea:1:10 @ Yet the number of the people of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which can be neither measured nor numbered; and in the place where it was said to them, "You are not my people," it shall be said to them, "Sons of the living God."
rsv@Hosea:2:2 @ "Plead with your mother, plead-- for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband--that she put away her harlotry from her face, and her adultery from between her breasts;
rsv@Hosea:2:3 @ lest I strip her naked and make her as in the day she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a parched land, and slay her with thirst.
rsv@Hosea:2:4 @ Upon her children also I will have no pity, because they are children of harlotry.
rsv@Hosea:2:5 @ For their mother has played the harlot; she that conceived them has acted shamefully. For she said, `I will go after my lovers, who give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.'
rsv@Hosea:2:12 @ And I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, of which she said, `These are my hire, which my lovers have given me.' I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall devour them.
rsv@Hosea:2:15 @ And there I will give her her vineyards, and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. And there she shall answer as in the days of her youth, as at the time when she came out of the land of Egypt.
rsv@Hosea:2:18 @ And I will make for you a covenant on that day with the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the creeping things of the ground; and I will abolish the bow, the sword, and war from the land; and I will make you lie down in safety.
rsv@Hosea:2:21 @ "And in that day, says the LORD, I will answer the heavens and they shall answer the earth;
rsv@Hosea:2:22 @ and the earth shall answer the grain, the wine, and the oil, and they shall answer Jezreel;
rsv@Hosea:2:23 @ and I will sow him for myself in the land. And I will have pity on Not pitied, and I will say to Not my people, `You are my people'; and he shall say `Thou art my God.'"
rsv@Hosea:3:1 @ And the LORD said to me, "Go again, love a woman who is beloved of a paramour and is an adulteress; even as the LORD loves the people of Israel, though they turn to other gods and love cakes of raisins."
rsv@Hosea:3:2 @ So I bought her for fifteen shekels of silver and a homer and a lethech of barley.
rsv@Hosea:3:3 @ And I said to her, "You must dwell as mine for many days; you shall not play the harlot, or belong to another man; so will I also be to you."
rsv@Hosea:3:4 @ For the children of Israel shall dwell many days without king or prince, without sacrifice or pillar, without ephod or teraphim.
rsv@Hosea:3:5 @ Afterward the children of Israel shall return and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and they shall come in fear to the LORD and to his goodness in the latter days.
rsv@Hosea:4:1 @ Hear the word of the LORD, O people of Israel; for the LORD has a controversy with the inhabitants of the land. There is no faithfulness or kindness, and no knowledge of God in the land;
rsv@Hosea:4:2 @ there is swearing, lying, killing, stealing, and committing adultery; they break all bounds and murder follows murder.
rsv@Hosea:4:3 @ Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it languish, and also the beasts of the field, and the birds of the air; and even the fish of the sea are taken away.
rsv@Hosea:4:6 @ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge; because you have rejected knowledge, I reject you from being a priest to me. And since you have forgotten the law of your God, I also will forget your children.
rsv@Hosea:4:8 @ They feed on the sin of my people; they are greedy for their iniquity.
rsv@Hosea:4:10 @ They shall eat, but not be satisfied; they shall play the harlot, but not multiply; because they have forsaken the LORD to cherish harlotry.
rsv@Hosea:4:12 @ My people inquire of a thing of wood, and their staff gives them oracles. For a spirit of harlotry has led them astray, and they have left their God to play the harlot.
rsv@Hosea:4:13 @ They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains, and make offerings upon the hills, under oak, poplar, and terebinth, because their shade is good. Therefore your daughters play the harlot, and your brides commit adultery.
rsv@Hosea:4:14 @ I will not punish your daughters when they play the harlot, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for the men themselves go aside with harlots, and sacrifice with cult prostitutes, and a people without understanding shall come to ruin.
rsv@Hosea:4:15 @ Though you play the harlot, O Israel, let not Judah become guilty. Enter not into Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-a'ven, and swear not, "As the LORD lives."
rsv@Hosea:4:18 @ A band of drunkards, they give themselves to harlotry; they love shame more than their glory.
rsv@Hosea:4:19 @ A wind has wrapped them in its wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their altars.
rsv@Hosea:5:1 @ Hear this, O priests! Give heed, O house of Israel! Hearken, O house of the king! For the judgment pertains to you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread upon Tabor.
rsv@Hosea:5:3 @ I know E'phraim, and Israel is not hid from me; for now, O E'phraim, you have played the harlot, Israel is defiled.
rsv@Hosea:5:4 @ Their deeds do not permit them to return to their God. For the spirit of harlotry is within them, and they know not the LORD.
rsv@Hosea:5:8 @ Blow the horn in Gib'e-ah, the trumpet in Ramah. Sound the alarm at Beth-a'ven; tremble, O Benjamin!
rsv@Hosea:5:9 @ E'phraim shall become a desolation in the day of punishment; among the tribes of Israel I declare what is sure.
rsv@Hosea:5:10 @ The princes of Judah have become like those who remove the landmark; upon them I will pour out my wrath like water.
rsv@Hosea:5:14 @ For I will be like a lion to E'phraim, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I, even I, will rend and go away, I will carry off, and none shall rescue.
rsv@Hosea:6:3 @ Let us know, let us press on to know the LORD; his going forth is sure as the dawn; he will come to us as the showers, as the spring rains that water the earth."
rsv@Hosea:6:4 @ What shall I do with you, O E'phraim? What shall I do with you, O Judah? Your love is like a morning cloud, like the dew that goes early away.
rsv@Hosea:6:9 @ As robbers lie in wait for a man, so the priests are banded together; they murder on the way to Shechem, yea, they commit villainy.
rsv@Hosea:6:10 @ In the house of Israel I have seen a horrible thing; E'phraim's harlotry is there, Israel is defiled.
rsv@Hosea:6:11 @ For you also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed. When I would restore the fortunes of my people,
rsv@Hosea:7:2 @ But they do not consider that I remember all their evil works. Now their deeds encompass them, they are before my face.
rsv@Hosea:7:4 @ They are all adulterers; they are like a heated oven, whose baker ceases to stir the fire, from the kneading of the dough until it is leavened.
rsv@Hosea:7:6 @ For like an oven their hearts burn with intrigue; all night their anger smolders; in the morning it blazes like a flaming fire.
rsv@Hosea:7:7 @ All of them are hot as an oven, and they devour their rulers. All their kings have fallen; and none of them calls upon me.
rsv@Hosea:7:9 @ Aliens devour his strength, and he knows it not; gray hairs are sprinkled upon him, and he knows it not.
rsv@Hosea:7:14 @ They do not cry to me from the heart, but they wail upon their beds; for grain and wine they gash themselves, they rebel against me.
rsv@Hosea:7:15 @ Although I trained and strengthened their arms, yet they devise evil against me.
rsv@Hosea:7:16 @ They turn to Ba'al; they are like a treacherous bow, their princes shall fall by the sword because of the insolence of their tongue. This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
rsv@Hosea:8:5 @ I have spurned your calf, O Sama'ria. My anger burns against them. How long will it be till they are pure
rsv@Hosea:8:8 @ Israel is swallowed up; already they are among the nations as a useless vessel.
rsv@Hosea:8:11 @ Because E'phraim has multiplied altars for sinning, they have become to him altars for sinning.
rsv@Hosea:8:12 @ Were I to write for him my laws by ten thousands, they would be regarded as a strange thing.
rsv@Hosea:9:1 @ Rejoice not, O Israel! Exult not like the peoples; for you have played the harlot, forsaking your God. You have loved a harlot's hire upon all threshing floors.
rsv@Hosea:9:6 @ For behold, they are going to Assyria; Egypt shall gather them, Memphis shall bury them. Nettles shall possess their precious things of silver; thorns shall be in their tents.
rsv@Hosea:9:8 @ The prophet is the watchman of E'phraim, the people of my God, yet a fowler's snare is on all his ways, and hatred in the house of his God.
rsv@Hosea:9:12 @ Even if they bring up children, I will bereave them till none is left. Woe to them when I depart from them!
rsv@Hosea:9:13 @ E'phraim's sons, as I have seen, are destined for a prey; E'phraim must lead forth his sons to slaughter.
rsv@Hosea:9:14 @ Give them, O LORD--what wilt thou give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
rsv@Hosea:9:15 @ Every evil of theirs is in Gilgal; there I began to hate them. Because of the wickedness of their deeds I will drive them out of my house. I will love them no more; all their princes are rebels.
rsv@Hosea:9:16 @ E'phraim is stricken, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit. Even though they bring forth, I will slay their beloved children.
rsv@Hosea:9:17 @ My God will cast them off, because they have not hearkened to him; they shall be wanderers among the nations.
rsv@Hosea:10:1 @ Israel is a luxuriant vine that yields its fruit. The more his fruit increased the more altars he built; as his country improved he improved his pillars.
rsv@Hosea:10:2 @ Their heart is false; now they must bear their guilt. The LORD will break down their altars, and destroy their pillars.
rsv@Hosea:10:3 @ For now they will say: "We have no king, for we fear not the LORD, and a king, what could he do for us?"
rsv@Hosea:10:5 @ The inhabitants of Sama'ria tremble for the calf of Beth-a'ven. Its people shall mourn for it, and its idolatrous priests shall wail over it, over its glory which has departed from it.
rsv@Hosea:10:6 @ Yea, the thing itself shall be carried to Assyria, as tribute to the great king. E'phraim shall be put to shame, and Israel shall be ashamed of his idol.
rsv@Hosea:10:8 @ The high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed. Thorn and thistle shall grow up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us, and to the hills, Fall upon us.
rsv@Hosea:10:9 @ From the days of Gib'e-ah, you have sinned, O Israel; there they have continued. Shall not war overtake them in Gib'e-ah?
rsv@Hosea:10:10 @ I will come against the wayward people to chastise them; and nations shall be gathered against them when they are chastised for their double iniquity.
rsv@Hosea:10:11 @ E'phraim was a trained heifer that loved to thresh, and I spared her fair neck; but I will put E'phraim to the yoke, Judah must plow, Jacob must harrow for himself.
rsv@Hosea:10:13 @ You have plowed iniquity, you have reaped injustice, you have eaten the fruit of lies. Because you have trusted in your chariots and in the multitude of your warriors,
rsv@Hosea:10:14 @ therefore the tumult of war shall arise among your people, and all your fortresses shall be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth-ar'bel on the day of battle; mothers were dashed in pieces with their children.
rsv@Hosea:11:3 @ Yet it was I who taught E'phraim to walk, I took them up in my arms; but they did not know that I healed them.
rsv@Hosea:11:6 @ The sword shall rage against their cities, consume the bars of their gates, and devour them in their fortresses.
rsv@Hosea:11:7 @ My people are bent on turning away from me; so they are appointed to the yoke, and none shall remove it.
rsv@Hosea:11:8 @ How can I give you up, O E'phraim! How can I hand you over, O Israel! How can I make you like Admah! How can I treat you like Zeboi'im! My heart recoils within me, my compassion grows warm and tender.
rsv@Hosea:11:10 @ They shall go after the LORD, he will roar like a lion; yea, he will roar, and his sons shall come trembling from the west;
rsv@Hosea:12:1 @ E'phraim herds the wind, and pursues the east wind all day long; they multiply falsehood and violence; they make a bargain with Assyria, and oil is carried to Egypt.
rsv@Hosea:12:7 @ A trader, in whose hands are false balances, he loves to oppress.
rsv@Hosea:12:10 @ I spoke to the prophets; it was I who multiplied visions, and through the prophets gave parables.
rsv@Hosea:12:11 @ If there is iniquity in Gilead they shall surely come to nought; if in Gilgal they sacrifice bulls, their altars also shall be like stone heaps on the furrows of the field.
rsv@Hosea:12:12 @ (Jacob fled to the land of Aram, there Israel did service for a wife, and for a wife he herded sheep.)
rsv@Hosea:13:3 @ Therefore they shall be like the morning mist or like the dew that goes early away, like the chaff that swirls from the threshing floor or like smoke from a window.
rsv@Hosea:13:6 @ but when they had fed to the full, they were filled, and their heart was lifted up; therefore they forgot me.
rsv@Hosea:13:7 @ So I will be to them like a lion, like a leopard I will lurk beside the way.
rsv@Hosea:13:8 @ I will fall upon them like a bear robbed of her cubs, I will tear open their breast, and there I will devour them like a lion, as a wild beast would rend them.
rsv@Hosea:13:10 @ Where now is your king, to save you; where are all your princes, to defend you--those of whom you said, "Give me a king and princes"?
rsv@Hosea:13:14 @ Shall I ransom them from the power of Sheol? Shall I redeem them from Death? O Death, where are your plagues? O Sheol, where is your destruction? Compassion is hid from my eyes.
rsv@Hosea:13:15 @ Though he may flourish as the reed plant, the east wind, the wind of the LORD, shall come, rising from the wilderness; and his fountain shall dry up, his spring shall be parched; it shall strip his treasury of every precious thing.
rsv@Hosea:13:16 @ Sama'ria shall bear her guilt, because she has rebelled against her God; they shall fall by the sword, their little ones shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women ripped open.
rsv@Hosea:14:5 @ I will be as the dew to Israel; he shall blossom as the lily, he shall strike root as the poplar;
rsv@Hosea:14:7 @ They shall return and dwell beneath my shadow, they shall flourish as a garden; they shall blossom as the vine, their fragrance shall be like the wine of Lebanon.
rsv@Hosea:14:9 @ Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the LORD are right, and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them.
rsv@Joel:1:2 @ Hear this, you aged men, give ear, all inhabitants of the land! Has such a thing happened in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
rsv@Joel:1:4 @ What the cutting locust left, the swarming locust has eaten. What the swarming locust left, the hopping locust has eaten, and what the hopping locust left, the destroying locust has eaten.
rsv@Joel:1:5 @ Awake, you drunkards, and weep; and wail, all you drinkers of wine, because of the sweet wine, for it is cut off from your mouth.
rsv@Joel:1:6 @ For a nation has come up against my land, powerful and without number; its teeth are lions' teeth, and it has the fangs of a lioness.
rsv@Joel:1:7 @ It has laid waste my vines, and splintered my fig trees; it has stripped off their bark and thrown it down; their branches are made white.
rsv@Joel:1:9 @ The cereal offering and the drink offering are cut off from the house of the LORD. The priests mourn, the ministers of the LORD.
rsv@Joel:1:10 @ The fields are laid waste, the ground mourns; because the grain is destroyed, the wine fails, the oil languishes.
rsv@Joel:1:11 @ Be confounded, O tillers of the soil, wail, O vinedressers, for the wheat and the barley; because the harvest of the field has perished.
rsv@Joel:1:12 @ The vine withers, the fig tree languishes. Pomegranate, palm, and apple, all the trees of the field are withered; and gladness fails from the sons of men.
rsv@Joel:1:13 @ Gird on sackcloth and lament, O priests, wail, O ministers of the altar. Go in, pass the night in sackcloth, O ministers of my God! Because cereal offering and drink offering are withheld from the house of your God.
rsv@Joel:1:15 @ Alas for the day! For the day of the LORD is near, and as destruction from the Almighty it comes.
rsv@Joel:1:17 @ The seed shrivels under the clods, the storehouses are desolate; the granaries are ruined because the grain has failed.
rsv@Joel:1:18 @ How the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are perplexed because there is no pasture for them; even the flocks of sheep are dismayed.
rsv@Joel:1:20 @ Even the wild beasts cry to thee because the water brooks are dried up, and fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.
rsv@Joel:2:1 @ Blow the trumpet in Zion; sound the alarm on my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of the LORD is coming, it is near,
rsv@Joel:2:2 @ a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and thick darkness! Like blackness there is spread upon the mountains a great and powerful people; their like has never been from of old, nor will be again after them through the years of all generations.
rsv@Joel:2:3 @ Fire devours before them, and behind them a flame burns. The land is like the garden of Eden before them, but after them a desolate wilderness, and nothing escapes them.
rsv@Joel:2:4 @ Their appearance is like the appearance of horses, and like war horses they run.
rsv@Joel:2:5 @ As with the rumbling of chariots, they leap on the tops of the mountains, like the crackling of a flame of fire devouring the stubble, like a powerful army drawn up for battle.
rsv@Joel:2:6 @ Before them peoples are in anguish, all faces grow pale.
rsv@Joel:2:7 @ Like warriors they charge, like soldiers they scale the wall. They march each on his way, they do not swerve from their paths.
rsv@Joel:2:8 @ They do not jostle one another, each marches in his path; they burst through the weapons and are not halted.
rsv@Joel:2:10 @ The earth quakes before them, the heavens tremble. The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
rsv@Joel:2:11 @ The LORD utters his voice before his army, for his host is exceedingly great; he that executes his word is powerful. For the day of the LORD is great and very terrible; who can endure it?
rsv@Joel:2:12 @ "Yet even now," says the LORD, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;
rsv@Joel:2:13 @ and rend your hearts and not your garments." Return to the LORD, your God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and repents of evil.
rsv@Joel:2:17 @ Between the vestibule and the altar let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep and say, "Spare thy people, O LORD, and make not thy heritage a reproach, a byword among the nations. Why should they say among the peoples, `Where is their God?'"
rsv@Joel:2:20 @ "I will remove the northerner far from you, and drive him into a parched and desolate land, his front into the eastern sea, and his rear into the western sea; the stench and foul smell of him will rise, for he has done great things.
rsv@Joel:2:21 @ "Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice, for the LORD has done great things!
rsv@Joel:2:22 @ Fear not, you beasts of the field, for the pastures of the wilderness are green; the tree bears its fruit, the fig tree and vine give their full yield.
rsv@Joel:2:23 @ "Be glad, O sons of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD, your God; for he has given the early rain for your vindication, he has poured down for you abundant rain, the early and the latter rain, as before.
rsv@Joel:2:25 @ I will restore to you the years which the swarming locust has eaten, the hopper, the destroyer, and the cutter, my great army, which I sent among you.
rsv@Joel:2:28 @ "And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions.
rsv@Joel:2:30 @ "And I will give portents in the heavens and on the earth, blood and fire and columns of smoke.
rsv@Joel:2:31 @ The sun shall be turned to darkness, and the moon to blood, before the great and terrible day of the LORD comes.
rsv@Joel:3:3 @ and have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a harlot, and have sold a girl for wine, and have drunk it.
rsv@Joel:3:4 @ "What are you to me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Are you paying me back for something? If you are paying me back, I will requite your deed upon your own head swiftly and speedily.
rsv@Joel:3:5 @ For you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my rich treasures into your temples.
rsv@Joel:3:6 @ You have sold the people of Judah and Jerusalem to the Greeks, removing them far from their own border.
rsv@Joel:3:8 @ I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they will sell them to the Sabe'ans, to a nation far off; for the LORD has spoken."
rsv@Joel:3:9 @ Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare war, stir up the mighty men. Let all the men of war draw near, let them come up.
rsv@Joel:3:10 @ Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears; let the weak say, "I am a warrior."
rsv@Joel:3:11 @ Hasten and come, all you nations round about, gather yourselves there. Bring down thy warriors, O LORD.
rsv@Joel:3:13 @ Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Go in, tread, for the wine press is full. The vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.

rsv@Joel:3:15 @ The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
rsv@Joel:3:16 @ And the LORD roars from Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and the earth shake. But the LORD is a refuge to his people, a stronghold to the people of Israel.
rsv@Joel:3:21 @ I will avenge their blood, and I will not clear the guilty, for the LORD dwells in Zion."
rsv@Amos:1:1 @ The words of Amos, who was among the shepherds of Teko'a, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzzi'ah king of Judah and in the days of Jerobo'am the son of Jo'ash, king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.
rsv@Amos:1:2 @ And he said: "The LORD roars from Zion, and utters his voice from Jerusalem; the pastures of the shepherds mourn, and the top of Carmel withers."
rsv@Amos:1:5 @ I will break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the inhabitants from the Valley of Aven, and him that holds the scepter from Beth-eden; and the people of Syria shall go into exile to Kir," says the LORD.
rsv@Amos:1:6 @ Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of Gaza, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they carried into exile a whole people to deliver them up to Edom.
rsv@Amos:1:13 @ Thus says the LORD: "For three transgressions of the Ammonites, and for four, I will not revoke the punishment; because they have ripped up women with child in Gilead, that they might enlarge their border.
rsv@Amos:2:2 @ So I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the strongholds of Ker'ioth, and Moab shall die amid uproar, amid shouting and the sound of the trumpet;

rsv@Amos:2:8 @ they lay themselves down beside every altar upon garments taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
rsv@Amos:2:9 @ "Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and who was as strong as the oaks; I destroyed his fruit above, and his roots beneath.
rsv@Amos:2:10 @ Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
rsv@Amos:2:13 @ "Behold, I will press you down in your place, as a cart full of sheaves presses down.
rsv@Amos:2:16 @ and he who is stout of heart among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day," says the LORD.
rsv@Amos:3:1 @ Hear this word that the LORD has spoken against you, O people of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt:
rsv@Amos:3:2 @ "You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities.
rsv@Amos:3:4 @ Does a lion roar in the forest, when he has no prey? Does a young lion cry out from his den, if he has taken nothing?
rsv@Amos:3:5 @ Does a bird fall in a snare on the earth, when there is no trap for it? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when it has taken nothing?
rsv@Amos:3:6 @ Is a trumpet blown in a city, and the people are not afraid? Does evil befall a city, unless the LORD has done it?
rsv@Amos:3:8 @ The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord GOD has spoken; who can but prophesy?"
rsv@Amos:3:11 @ Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "An adversary shall surround the land, and bring down your defenses from you, and your strongholds shall be plundered."
rsv@Amos:3:12 @ Thus says the LORD: "As the shepherd rescues from the mouth of the lion two legs, or a piece of an ear, so shall the people of Israel who dwell in Sama'ria be rescued, with the corner of a couch and part of a bed."

rsv@Amos:6:5 @ who sing idle songs to the sound of the harp, and like David invent for themselves instruments of music;

rsv@Jonah:1:9 @ And he said to them, "I am a Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land."

rsv@Jonah:1:16 @ Then the men feared the LORD exceedingly, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows.
rsv@Jonah:2:2 @ saying, "I called to the LORD, out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and thou didst hear my voice.

rsv@Jonah:3:6 @ Then tidings reached the king of Nin'eveh, and he arose from his throne, removed his robe, and covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
rsv@Jonah:4:2 @ And he prayed to the LORD and said, "I pray thee, LORD, is not this what I said when I was yet in my country? That is why I made haste to flee to Tarshish; for I knew that thou art a gracious God and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love, and repentest of evil.

rsv@Micah:1:12 @ For the inhabitants of Maroth wait anxiously for good, because evil has come down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem.
rsv@Micah:1:13 @ Harness the steeds to the chariots, inhabitants of Lachish; you were the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion, for in you were found the transgressions of Israel.
rsv@Micah:1:14 @ Therefore you shall give parting gifts to Mo'resheth-gath; the houses of Achzib shall be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.
