nkjv@Obadiah:1:11 @ In the day that you stood on the other side-- In the day that strangers carried captive his forces, When foreigners entered his gates And cast lots for Jerusalem-- Even you were as one of them.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:15 @ "For the day of the LORD upon all the nations is near; As you have done, it shall be done to you; Your reprisal shall return upon your own head.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:16 @ For as you drank on My holy mountain, So shall all the nations drink continually; Yes, they shall drink, and swallow, And they shall be as though they had never been.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:18 @ The house of Jacob shall be a fire, And the house of Joseph a flame; But the house of Esau shall be stubble; They shall kindle them and devour them, And no survivor shall remain of the house of Esau," For the LORD has spoken.
nkjv@Obadiah:1:20 @ And the captives of this host of the children of Israel Shall possess the land of the Canaanites As far as Zarephath. The captives of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad Shall possess the cities of the South.
nkjv@Jonah:1:2 @ "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me."
nkjv@Jonah:1:4 @ But the LORD sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty tempest on the sea, so that the ship was about to be broken up.
nkjv@Jonah:1:5 @ Then the mariners were afraid; and every man cried out to his god, and threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea, to lighten the load. But Jonah had gone down into the lowest parts of the ship, had lain down, and was fast asleep.
nkjv@Jonah:1:7 @ And they said to one another, "Come, let us cast lots, that we may know for whose cause this trouble has come upon us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
nkjv@Jonah:1:8 @ Then they said to him, "Please tell us! For whose cause is this trouble upon us? What is your occupation? And where do you come from? What is your country? And of what people are you?"
nkjv@Jonah:1:11 @ Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you that the sea may be calm for us?"--for the sea was growing more tempestuous.
nkjv@Jonah:1:14 @ Therefore they cried out to the LORD and said, "We pray, O LORD, please do not let us perish for this man's life, and do not charge us with innocent blood; for You, O LORD, have done as it pleased You."
nkjv@Jonah:1:15 @ So they picked up Jonah and threw him into the sea, and the sea ceased from its raging.
nkjv@Jonah:1:17 @ Now the LORD had prepared a great fish to swallow Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
nkjv@Jonah:2:3 @ For You cast me into the deep, Into the heart of the seas, And the floods surrounded me; All Your billows and Your waves passed over me.
nkjv@Jonah:2:4 @ Then I said, "I have been cast out of Your sight; Yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.'
nkjv@Jonah:3:3 @ So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, a three-day journey in extent.
nkjv@Jonah:3:5 @ So the people of Nineveh believed God, proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest to the least of them.
nkjv@Jonah:3:6 @ Then word came to the king of Nineveh; and he arose from his throne and laid aside his robe, covered himself with sackcloth and sat in ashes.
nkjv@Jonah:3:7 @ And he caused it to be proclaimed and published throughout Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything; do not let them eat, or drink water.
nkjv@Jonah:3:8 @ But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily to God; yes, let every one turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands.
nkjv@Jonah:3:10 @ Then God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God relented from the disaster that He had said He would bring upon them, and He did not do it.
nkjv@Jonah:4:1 @ But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he became angry.
nkjv@Jonah:4:2 @ So he prayed to the LORD, and said, "Ah, LORD, was not this what I said when I was still in my country? Therefore I fled previously to Tarshish; for I know that You are a gracious and merciful God, slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, One who relents from doing harm.
nkjv@Jonah:4:3 @ Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live!"
nkjv@Jonah:4:5 @ So Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east side of the city. There he made himself a shelter and sat under it in the shade, till he might see what would become of the city.
nkjv@Jonah:4:6 @ And the LORD God prepared a plant and made it come up over Jonah, that it might be shade for his head to deliver him from his misery. So Jonah was very grateful for the plant.
nkjv@Jonah:4:7 @ But as morning dawned the next day God prepared a worm, and it so damaged the plant that it withered.
nkjv@Jonah:4:8 @ And it happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah's head, so that he grew faint. Then he wished death for himself, and said, "It is better for me to die than to live."
nkjv@Micah:1:7 @ All her carved images shall be beaten to pieces, And all her pay as a harlot shall be burned with the fire; All her idols I will lay desolate, For she gathered it from the pay of a harlot, And they shall return to the pay of a harlot."
nkjv@Micah:1:9 @ For her wounds are incurable. For it has come to Judah; It has come to the gate of My people-- To Jerusalem.
nkjv@Micah:1:11 @ Pass by in naked shame, you inhabitant of Shaphir; The inhabitant of Zaanan does not go out. Beth Ezel mourns; Its place to stand is taken away from you.
nkjv@Micah:1:12 @ For the inhabitant of Maroth pined for good, But disaster came down from the LORD To the gate of Jerusalem.
nkjv@Micah:1:13 @ O inhabitant of Lachish, Harness the chariot to the swift steeds (She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion), For the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
nkjv@Micah:2:3 @ Therefore thus says the LORD: "Behold, against this family I am devising disaster, From which you cannot remove your necks; Nor shall you walk haughtily, For this is an evil time.
nkjv@Micah:2:4 @ In that day one shall take up a proverb against you, And lament with a bitter lamentation, saying: "We are utterly destroyed! He has changed the heritage of my people; How He has removed it from me! To a turncoat He has divided our fields."'
nkjv@Micah:2:5 @ Therefore you will have no one to determine boundaries by lot In the assembly of the LORD.
nkjv@Micah:2:8 @ "Lately My people have risen up as an enemy-- You pull off the robe with the garment From those who trust you, as they pass by, Like men returned from war.

nkjv@Micah:2:12 @ "I will surely assemble all of you, O Jacob, I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together like sheep of the fold, Like a flock in the midst of their pasture; They shall make a loud noise because of so many people.
nkjv@Micah:2:13 @ The one who breaks open will come up before them; They will break out, Pass through the gate, And go out by it; Their king will pass before them, With the LORD at their head."
nkjv@Micah:3:7 @ So the seers shall be ashamed, And the diviners abashed; Indeed they shall all cover their lips; For there is no answer from God."
nkjv@Micah:4:1 @ Now it shall come to pass in the latter days That the mountain of the LORD's house Shall be established on the top of the mountains, And shall be exalted above the hills; And peoples shall flow to it.
nkjv@Micah:4:4 @ But everyone shall sit under his vine and under his fig tree, And no one shall make them afraid; For the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken.
nkjv@Micah:4:6 @ "In that day," says the LORD, "I will assemble the lame, I will gather the outcast And those whom I have afflicted;
nkjv@Micah:4:7 @ I will make the lame a remnant, And the outcast a strong nation; So the LORD will reign over them in Mount Zion From now on, even forever.

nkjv@Micah:5:1 @ Now gather yourself in troops, O daughter of troops; He has laid siege against us; They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.

nkjv@Micah:5:5 @ And this One shall be peace. When the Assyrian comes into our land, And when he treads in our palaces, Then we will raise against him Seven shepherds and eight princely men.
nkjv@Micah:5:6 @ They shall waste with the sword the land of Assyria, And the land of Nimrod at its entrances; Thus He shall deliver us from the Assyrian, When he comes into our land And when he treads within our borders.
nkjv@Micah:5:7 @ Then the remnant of Jacob Shall be in the midst of many peoples, Like dew from the LORD, Like showers on the grass, That tarry for no man Nor wait for the sons of men.
nkjv@Micah:5:8 @ And the remnant of Jacob Shall be among the Gentiles, In the midst of many peoples, Like a lion among the beasts of the forest, Like a young lion among flocks of sheep, Who, if he passes through, Both treads down and tears in pieces, And none can deliver.
nkjv@Micah:6:1 @ Hear now what the LORD says: "Arise, plead your case before the mountains, And let the hills hear your voice.

nkjv@Nahum:1:3 @ The LORD is slow to anger and great in power, And will not at all acquit the wicked. The LORD has His way In the whirlwind and in the storm, And the clouds are the dust of His feet.

nkjv@Nahum:3:9 @ Ethiopia and Egypt were her strength, And it was boundless; Put and Lubim were your helpers.
nkjv@Nahum:3:10 @ Yet she was carried away, She went into captivity; Her young children also were dashed to pieces At the head of every street; They cast lots for her honorable men, And all her great men were bound in chains.
nkjv@Nahum:3:17 @ Your commanders are like swarming locusts, And your generals like great grasshoppers, Which camp in the hedges on a cold day; When the sun rises they flee away, And the place where they are is not known.
