web@Hosea:1:4 @ Yahweh said to him, "Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little while, and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.
web@Hosea:1:10 @ Yet the number of the children of Israel will be as the sand of the sea, which can't be measured nor numbered; and it will come to pass that, in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not my people,' they will be called 'sons of the living God.'
web@Hosea:2:2 @ Contend with your mother! Contend, for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband; and let her put away her prostitution from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
web@Hosea:2:3 @ Lest I strip her naked, and make her bare as in the day that she was born, and make her like a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and kill her with thirst.
web@Hosea:2:5 @ For their mother has played the prostitute. She who conceived them has done 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.'
web@Hosea:2:7 @ She will follow after her lovers, but she won't overtake them; and she will seek them, but won't find them. Then she will say, 'I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.'
web@Hosea:2:9 @ Therefore I will take back my grain in its time, and my new wine in its season, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.

web@Hosea:9:5 @ What will you do in the day of solemn assembly, and in the day of the feast of Yahweh?

web@Hosea:9:9 @ They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity. He will punish them for their sins.
web@Hosea:9:10 @ I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first ripe in the fig tree at its first season; but they came to Baal Peor, and consecrated themselves to the shameful thing, and became abominable like that which they loved.

web@Hosea:12:1 @ Ephraim feeds on wind, and chases the east wind. He continually multiplies lies and desolation. They make a covenant with Assyria, and oil is carried into Egypt.

web@Hosea:12:13 @ By a prophet Yahweh brought Israel up out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was preserved.
web@Hosea:12:14 @ Ephraim has bitterly provoked anger. Therefore his blood will be left on him, and his Lord {The word translated "Lord" is "Adonai."} will repay his contempt.
web@Hosea:13:1 @ When Ephraim spoke, there was trembling. He exalted himself in Israel, but when he became guilty in Baal, he died.
web@Hosea:13:3 @ Therefore they will be like the morning mist, and like the dew that passes away early, like the chaff that is driven with the whirlwind out of the threshing floor, and like the smoke out of the chimney.

web@Obadiah:1:16 @ For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been.
web@Obadiah:1:18 @ The house of Jacob will be a fire, the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble. They will burn among them, and devour them. There will not be any remaining to the house of Esau." Indeed, Yahweh has spoken.
web@Jonah:1:2 @ "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach against it, for their wickedness has come up before me."
web@Jonah:1:4 @ But Yahweh sent out a great wind on the sea, and there was a mighty storm on the sea, so that the ship was likely to break up.
web@Jonah:1:5 @ Then the mariners were afraid, and every man cried to his god. They threw the cargo that was in the ship into the sea to lighten the ship. But Jonah had gone down into the innermost parts of the ship, and he was laying down, and was fast asleep.
web@Jonah:1:6 @ So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, "What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your God {or, gods}! Maybe your God {or, gods} will notice us, so that we won't perish."
web@Jonah:1:7 @ They all said to each other, "Come, let us cast lots, that we may know who is responsible for this evil that is on us." So they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.
web@Jonah:1:8 @ Then they asked him, "Tell us, please, for whose cause this evil is on us. What is your occupation? Where do you come from? What is your country? Of what people are you?"
web@Jonah:1:9 @ He said to them, "I am a Hebrew, and I fear Yahweh, the God {The Hebrew word rendered "God" is "Elohim."} of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land."
web@Jonah:1:10 @ Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said to him, "What is this that you have done?" For the men knew that he was fleeing from the presence of Yahweh, because he had told them.
web@Jonah:1:14 @ Therefore they cried to Yahweh, and said, "We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, don't let us die for this man's life, and don't lay on us innocent blood; for you, Yahweh, have done as it pleased you."
web@Jonah:1:15 @ So they took up Jonah, and threw him into the sea; and the sea ceased its raging.
web@Jonah:1:17 @ Yahweh prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.
web@Jonah:2:3 @ For you threw me into the depths, in the heart of the seas. The flood was all around me. All your waves and your billows passed over me.
web@Jonah:2:5 @ The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.
web@Jonah:3:3 @ So Jonah arose, and went to Nineveh, according to the word of Yahweh. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days' journey across.
web@Jonah:3:5 @ The people of Nineveh believed God; and they proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from their greatest even to their least.
web@Jonah:3:6 @ The news reached the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and took off his royal robe, covered himself with sackcloth, and sat in ashes.
web@Jonah:3:7 @ He made a proclamation and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, "Let neither man nor animal, herd nor flock, taste anything; let them not feed, nor drink water;
web@Jonah:3:10 @ God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. God relented of the disaster which he said he would do to them, and he didn't do it.
web@Jonah:4:1 @ But it displeased Jonah exceedingly, and he was angry.
web@Jonah:4:2 @ He prayed to Yahweh, and said, "Please, Yahweh, wasn't this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in loving kindness, and you relent of doing harm.
web@Jonah:4:5 @ Then Jonah went out of the city, and sat on the east side of the city, and there made himself a booth, and sat under it in the shade, until he might see what would become of the city.
web@Jonah:4:6 @ Yahweh God prepared a vine, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shade over his head, to deliver him from his discomfort. So Jonah was exceedingly glad because of the vine.
web@Jonah:4:8 @ It happened, when the sun arose, that God prepared a sultry east wind; and the sun beat on Jonah's head, so that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said, "It is better for me to die than to live."
web@Micah:1:1 @ The word of Yahweh {"Yahweh" is God's proper Name, sometimes rendered "LORD" (all caps) in other translations.} that came to Micah the Morashtite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
web@Micah:1:7 @ All her idols will be beaten to pieces, and all her temple gifts will be burned with fire, and all her images I will destroy; for of the hire of a prostitute has she gathered them, and to the hire of a prostitute shall they return."
web@Micah:1:9 @ For her wounds are incurable; for it has come even to Judah. It reaches to the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
web@Micah:1:11 @ Pass on, inhabitant of Shaphir, in nakedness and shame. The inhabitant of Zaanan won't come out. The wailing of Beth Ezel will take from you his protection.
web@Micah:1:12 @ For the inhabitant of Maroth waits anxiously for good, because evil has come down from Yahweh to the gate of Jerusalem.
web@Micah:1:13 @ Harness the chariot to the swift steed, inhabitant of Lachish. She was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; For the transgressions of Israel were found in you.
web@Micah:2:3 @ Therefore thus says Yahweh: "Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily; for it is an evil time.
web@Micah:2:4 @ In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, 'We are utterly ruined! My people's possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!'"
web@Micah:2:5 @ Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in the assembly of Yahweh.
web@Micah:2:8 @ But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
web@Micah:2:9 @ You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
web@Micah:2:12 @ I will surely assemble, Jacob, all of you; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the midst of their pasture; they will swarm with people.
web@Micah:2:13 @ He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. And their king passes on before them, with Yahweh at their head.
web@Micah:3:1 @ I said, "Please listen, you heads of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel: Isn't it for you to know justice?
web@Micah:3:3 @ who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them, and break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
web@Micah:3:5 @ Thus says Yahweh concerning the prophets who lead my people astray; for those who feed their teeth, they proclaim, "Peace!" and whoever doesn't provide for their mouths, they prepare war against him:
web@Micah:3:8 @ But as for me, I am full of power by the Spirit of Yahweh, and of judgment, and of might, to declare to Jacob his disobedience, and to Israel his sin.
web@Micah:3:9 @ Please listen to this, you heads of the house of Jacob, and rulers of the house of Israel, who abhor justice, and pervert all equity.
web@Micah:3:11 @ Her leaders judge for bribes, and her priests teach for a price, and her prophets of it tell fortunes for money: yet they lean on Yahweh, and say, "Isn't Yahweh in the midst of us? No disaster will come on us."
web@Micah:4:4 @ But they will sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree; and no one will make them afraid: For the mouth of Yahweh of Armies has spoken.
web@Micah:4:6 @ "In that day," says Yahweh, "I will assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted;
web@Micah:4:7 @ and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and Yahweh will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on, even forever."
web@Micah:4:9 @ Now why do you cry out aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pains have taken hold of you as of a woman in travail?
web@Micah:4:11 @ Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, "Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion."
web@Micah:4:12 @ But they don't know the thoughts of Yahweh, neither do they understand his counsel; for he has gathered them like the sheaves to the threshing floor.
web@Micah:4:13 @ Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion; for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs brass; and you will beat in pieces many peoples: and I will devote their gain to Yahweh, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
web@Micah:5:1 @ Now you shall gather yourself in troops, daughter of troops. He has laid siege against us. They will strike the judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.
web@Micah:5:2 @ But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, being small among the clans of Judah, out of you one will come forth to me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.
web@Micah:5:5 @ He will be our peace when Assyria invades our land, and when he marches through our fortresses, then we will raise against him seven shepherds, and eight leaders of men.
web@Micah:5:6 @ They will rule the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod in its gates. He will deliver us from the Assyrian, when he invades our land, and when he marches within our border.
web@Micah:5:7 @ The remnant of Jacob will be in the midst of many peoples, like dew from Yahweh, like showers on the grass, that don't wait for man, nor wait for the sons of men.
web@Micah:5:14 @ I will uproot your Asherim out of your midst; and I will destroy your cities.
web@Micah:6:1 @ Listen now to what Yahweh says: "Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say.
web@Micah:6:2 @ Hear, you mountains, Yahweh's controversy, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for Yahweh has a controversy with his people, and he will contend with Israel.
web@Micah:6:7 @ Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams? With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience? The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
web@Micah:6:8 @ He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
web@Micah:6:10 @ Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a short ephah {An ephah is a measure of volume (about 22 litres or about 23 of a bushel), and a short ephah is made smaller than a full ephah for the purpose of cheating customers.} that is accursed?
web@Micah:7:1 @ Misery is mine! Indeed, I am like one who gathers the summer fruits, as gleanings of the vineyard: There is no cluster of grapes to eat. My soul desires to eat the early fig.
web@Micah:7:2 @ The godly man has perished out of the earth, and there is no one upright among men. They all lie in wait for blood; every man hunts his brother with a net.
web@Micah:7:3 @ Their hands are on that which is evil to do it diligently. The ruler and judge ask for a bribe; and the powerful man dictates the evil desire of his soul. Thus they conspire together.
web@Micah:7:4 @ The best of them is like a brier. The most upright is worse than a thorn hedge. The day of your watchmen, even your visitation, has come; now is the time of their confusion.
web@Micah:7:7 @ But as for me, I will look to Yahweh. I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me.
web@Micah:7:9 @ I will bear the indignation of Yahweh, because I have sinned against him, until he pleads my case, and executes judgment for me. He will bring me forth to the light. I will see his righteousness.
web@Micah:7:12 @ In that day they will come to you from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and mountain to mountain.
web@Micah:7:14 @ Shepherd your people with your staff, the flock of your heritage, who dwell by themselves in a forest, in the midst of fertile pasture land, let them feed; in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.
web@Micah:7:15 @ "As in the days of your coming forth out of the land of Egypt, I will show them marvelous things."
web@Micah:7:16 @ The nations will see and be ashamed of all their might. They will lay their hand on their mouth. Their ears will be deaf.
web@Micah:7:18 @ Who is a God like you, who pardons iniquity, and passes over the disobedience of the remnant of his heritage? He doesn't retain his anger forever, because he delights in loving kindness.
web@Micah:7:19 @ He will again have compassion on us. He will tread our iniquities under foot; and you will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.
web@Micah:7:20 @ You will give truth to Jacob, and mercy to Abraham, as you have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
web@Nahum:1:3 @ Yahweh is slow to anger, and great in power, and will by no means leave the guilty unpunished. Yahweh has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
web@Nahum:1:4 @ He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan languishes, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languishes.
web@Nahum:1:10 @ For entangled like thorns, and drunken as with their drink, they are consumed utterly like dry stubble.
web@Nahum:1:12 @ Thus says Yahweh: "Though they be in full strength, and likewise many, even so they will be cut down, and he shall pass away. Though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.
web@Nahum:1:14 @ Yahweh has commanded concerning you: "No more descendants will bear your name. Out of the house of your gods, will I cut off the engraved image and the molten image. I will make your grave, for you are vile."
web@Nahum:1:15 @ Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace! Keep your feasts, Judah! Perform your vows, for the wicked one will no more pass through you. He is utterly cut off.
web@Nahum:2:1 @ He who dashes in pieces has come up against you. Keep the fortress! Watch the way! Strengthen your waist! Fortify your power mightily!
web@Nahum:2:2 @ For Yahweh restores the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel; for the destroyers have destroyed them, and ruined their vine branches.
