web@Hosea:1:1 @ The word of Yahweh {"Yahweh" is God's proper Name, sometimes rendered "LORD" (all caps) in other translations.} that came to Hosea the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel.

web@Hosea:1:2 @ When Yahweh spoke at first by Hosea, Yahweh said to Hosea, "Go, take for yourself a wife of prostitution and children of unfaithfulness; for the land commits great adultery, forsaking Yahweh."

web@Hosea:1:5 @ It will happen in that day that I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel."

web@Hosea:1:6 @ She conceived again, and bore a daughter. Then he said to him, "Call her name Lo-Ruhamah {Lo-Ruhamah means "not loved."}; for I will no longer have mercy on the house of Israel, that I should in any way pardon them.

web@Hosea:1:7 @ But I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and will save them by Yahweh their God {The Hebrew word rendered "God" is "Elohim."}, and will not save them by bow, sword, battle, horses, or horsemen."

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:1:11 @ The children of Judah and the children of Israel will be gathered together, and they will appoint themselves one head, and will go up from the land; for great will be the day of Jezreel.

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:2:6 @ Therefore behold, I will hedge up your way with thorns, and I will build a wall against her, that she can't find her way.

web@Hosea:2:8 @ For she did not know that I gave her the grain, the new wine, and the oil, and multiplied to her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.

web@Hosea:2:11 @ I will also cause all her celebrations to cease: her feasts, her new moons, her Sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.

web@Hosea:2:12 @ I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, about which she has said, 'These are my wages that my lovers have given me; and I will make them a forest,' and the animals of the field shall eat them.

web@Hosea:2:16 @ It will be in that day," says Yahweh, "that you will call me 'my husband,' and no longer call me 'my master.'

web@Hosea:2:18 @ In that day I will make a covenant for them with the animals of the field, and with the birds of the sky, and with the creeping things of the ground. I will break the bow, the sword, and the battle out of the land, and will make them lie down safely.

web@Hosea:2:21 @ It will happen in that day, I will respond," says Yahweh, "I will respond to the heavens, and they will respond to the earth;

web@Hosea:4:6 @ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, that you may be no priest to me. Because you have forgotten your God's law, I will also forget your children.

web@Hosea:4:10 @ They will eat, and not have enough. They will play the prostitute, and will not increase; because they have abandoned giving to Yahweh.

web@Hosea:5:1 @ "Listen to this, you priests! Listen, house of Israel, and give ear, house of the king! For the judgment is against you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.

web@Hosea:5:7 @ They are unfaithful to Yahweh; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.

web@Hosea:5:8 @ "Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah! Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin!

web@Hosea:5:9 @ Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will surely be.

web@Hosea:5:10 @ The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water.

web@Hosea:6:3 @ Let us acknowledge Yahweh. Let us press on to know Yahweh. As surely as the sun rises, Yahweh will appear. He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain that waters the earth."

web@Hosea:6:4 @ "Ephraim, what shall I do to you? Judah, what shall I do to you? For your love is like a morning cloud, and like the dew that disappears early.

web@Hosea:7:2 @ They don't consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. Now their own deeds have engulfed them. They are before my face.

web@Hosea:7:4 @ They are all adulterers. They are burning like an oven that the baker stops stirring, from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.

web@Hosea:7:5 @ On the day of our king, the princes made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He joined his hand with mockers.

web@Hosea:7:8 @ Ephraim, he mixes himself among the nations. Ephraim is a pancake not turned over.

web@Hosea:7:12 @ When they go, I will spread my net on them. I will bring them down like the birds of the sky. I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.

web@Hosea:8:3 @ Israel has cast off that which is good. The enemy will pursue him.

web@Hosea:8:4 @ They have set up kings, but not by me. They have made princes, and I didn't approve. Of their silver and their gold they have made themselves idols, that they may be cut off.

web@Hosea:8:8 @ Israel is swallowed up. Now they are among the nations like a worthless thing.

web@Hosea:8:10 @ But although they sold themselves among the nations, I will now gather them; and they begin to waste away because of the oppression of the king of mighty ones.

web@Hosea:8:13 @ As for the sacrifices of my offerings, they sacrifice flesh and eat it; But Yahweh doesn't accept them. Now he will remember their iniquity, and punish their sins. They will return to Egypt.

web@Hosea:9:1 @ Don't rejoice, Israel, to jubilation like the nations; for you were unfaithful to your God. You love the wages of a prostitute at every grain threshing floor.

web@Hosea:9:3 @ They won't dwell in Yahweh's land; but Ephraim will return to Egypt, and they will eat unclean food in Assyria.

web@Hosea:9:4 @ They won't pour out wine offerings to Yahweh, neither will they be pleasing to him. Their sacrifices will be to them like the bread of mourners; all who eat of it will be polluted; for their bread will be for their appetite. It will not come into the house of Yahweh.

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:9:6 @ For, behold, they have gone away from destruction. Egypt will gather them up. Memphis will bury them. Nettles will possess their pleasant things of silver. Thorns will be in their tents.

web@Hosea:9:7 @ The days of visitation have come. The days of reckoning have come. Israel will consider the prophet to be a fool, and the man who is inspired to be insane, because of the abundance of your sins, and because your hostility is great.

web@Hosea:9:8 @ A prophet watches over Ephraim with my God. A fowler's snare is on all of his paths, and hostility in the house of his God.

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:9:12 @ Though they bring up their children, yet I will bereave them, so that not a man shall be left. Indeed, woe also to them when I depart from them!

web@Hosea:9:14 @ Give them--Yahweh what will you give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

web@Hosea:9:15 @ "All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated 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.

web@Hosea:9:17 @ My God will cast them away, because they did not listen to him; and they will be wanderers among the nations.

web@Hosea:10:1 @ Israel is a luxuriant vine that puts forth his fruit. According to the abundance of his fruit he has multiplied his altars. As their land has prospered, they have adorned their sacred stones.

web@Hosea:10:3 @ Surely now they will say, "We have no king; for we don't fear Yahweh; and the king, what can he do for us?"

web@Hosea:10:6 @ It also will be carried to Assyria for a present to a great king. Ephraim will receive shame, and Israel will be ashamed of his own counsel.

web@Hosea:10:7 @ Samaria and her king float away, like a twig on the water.

web@Hosea:10:9 @ "Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they remained. The battle against the children of iniquity doesn't overtake them in Gibeah.

web@Hosea:10:10 @ When it is my desire, I will chastise them; and the nations will be gathered against them, when they are bound to their two transgressions.

web@Hosea:10:11 @ Ephraim is a trained heifer that loves to thresh; so I will put a yoke on her beautiful neck. I will set a rider on Ephraim. Judah will plow. Jacob will break his clods.

web@Hosea:10:13 @ You have plowed wickedness. You have reaped iniquity. You have eaten the fruit of lies, for you trusted in your way, in the multitude of your mighty men.

web@Hosea:10:14 @ Therefore a battle roar will arise among your people, and all your fortresses will be destroyed, as Shalman destroyed Beth Arbel in the day of battle. The mother was dashed in pieces with her children.

web@Hosea:10:15 @ So Bethel will do to you because of your great wickedness. At daybreak the king of Israel will be destroyed.

web@Hosea:11:3 @ Yet I taught Ephraim to walk. I took them by his arms; but they didn't know that I healed them.

web@Hosea:11:6 @ The sword will fall on their cities, and will destroy the bars of their gates, and will put an end to their plans.

web@Hosea:11:9 @ I will not execute the fierceness of my anger. I will not return to destroy Ephraim: for I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of you; and I will not come in wrath.

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:12:4 @ Indeed, he struggled with the angel, and prevailed; he wept, and made supplication to him. He found him at Bethel, and there he spoke with us,

web@Hosea:12:8 @ Ephraim said, "Surely I have become rich, I have found myself wealth. In all my wealth they won't find in me any iniquity that is sin."

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:13:3 @ 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@Hosea:13:5 @ I knew you in the wilderness, in the land of great drought.

web@Hosea:13:7 @ Therefore I am like a lion to them. Like a leopard, I will lurk by the path.

web@Hosea:13:8 @ I will meet them like a bear that is bereaved of her cubs, and will tear the covering of their heart. There I will devour them like a lioness. The wild animal will tear them.

web@Hosea:13:10 @ Where is your king now, that he may save you in all your cities? And your judges, of whom you said, 'Give me a king and princes?'

web@Hosea:13:11 @ I have given you a king in my anger, and have taken him away in my wrath.

web@Hosea:13:14 @ I will ransom them from the power of Sheol {Sheol is the place of the dead.}. I will redeem them from death! Death, where are your plagues? Sheol, where is your destruction? "Compassion will be hidden from my eyes.

web@Hosea:13:15 @ Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind will come, the breath of Yahweh coming up from the wilderness; and his spring will become dry, and his fountain will be dried up. He will plunder the storehouse of treasure.

web@Hosea:14:2 @ Take words with you, and return to Yahweh. Tell him, "Forgive all our sins, and accept that which is good: so we offer our lips like bulls.

web@Hosea:14:3 @ Assyria can't save us. We won't ride on horses; neither will we say any more to the work of our hands, 'Our gods!' for in you the fatherless finds mercy."

web@Hosea:14:8 @ Ephraim, what have I to do any more with idols? I answer, and will take care of him. I am like a green fir tree; from me your fruit is found."

web@Hosea:14:9 @ Who is wise, that he may understand these things? Who is prudent, that he may know them? For the ways of Yahweh are right, and the righteous walk in them; But the rebellious stumble in them.

web@Joel:1:1 @ The Word of Yahweh {"Yahweh" is God's proper Name, sometimes rendered "LORD" (all caps) in other translations.} that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel.

web@Joel:1:2 @ Hear this, you elders, And listen, all you inhabitants of the land. Has this ever happened in your days, or in the days of your fathers?

web@Joel:1:3 @ Tell your children about it, and have your children tell their children, and their children, another generation.

web@Joel:1:4 @ What the swarming locust has left, the great locust has eaten. What the great locust has left, the grasshopper has eaten. What the grasshopper has left, the caterpillar has eaten.

web@Joel:1:6 @ For a nation has come up on my land, strong, and without number. His teeth are the teeth of a lion, and he has the fangs of a lioness.

web@Joel:1:11 @ Be confounded, you farmers! Wail, you vineyard keepers; for the wheat and for the barley; for the harvest of the field has perished.

web@Joel:1:12 @ The vine has dried up, and the fig tree withered; the pomegranate tree, the palm tree also, and the apple tree, even all of the trees of the field are withered; for joy has withered away from the sons of men.

web@Joel:1:14 @ Sanctify a fast. Call a solemn assembly. Gather the elders, and all the inhabitants of the land, to the house of Yahweh, your God, and cry to Yahweh.

web@Joel:1:15 @ Alas for the day! For the day of Yahweh is at hand, and it will come as destruction from the Almighty.

web@Joel:1:17 @ The seeds rot under their clods. The granaries are laid desolate. The barns are broken down, for the grain has withered.

web@Joel:1:18 @ How the animals groan! The herds of livestock are perplexed, because they have no pasture. Yes, the flocks of sheep are made desolate.

web@Joel:1:20 @ Yes, the animals of the field pant to you, for the water brooks have dried up, And the fire has devoured the pastures of the wilderness.

web@Joel:2:1 @ Blow the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble, for the day of Yahweh comes, for it is close at hand:

web@Joel:2:2 @ A day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness. As the dawn spreading on the mountains, a great and strong people; there has never been the like, neither will there be any more after them, even to the years of many generations.

web@Joel:2:3 @ A fire devours before them, and behind them, a flame burns. The land is as the garden of Eden before them, and behind them, a desolate wilderness. Yes, and no one has escaped them.

web@Joel:2:5 @ Like the noise of chariots on the tops of the mountains do they leap, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, as a strong people set in battle array.

web@Joel:2:6 @ At their presence the peoples are in anguish. All faces have grown pale.

web@Joel:2:8 @ Neither does one jostle another; they march everyone in his path, and they burst through the defenses, and don't break ranks.

web@Joel:2:9 @ They rush on the city. They run on the wall. They climb up into the houses. They enter in at the windows like thieves.

web@Joel:2:11 @ Yahweh thunders his voice before his army; for his forces are very great; for he is strong who obeys his command; for the day of Yahweh is great and very awesome, and who can endure it?

web@Joel:2:16 @ Gather the people. Sanctify the assembly. Assemble the elders. Gather the children, and those who nurse from breasts. Let the bridegroom go forth from his room, and the bride out of her room.

web@Joel:2:17 @ Let the priests, the ministers of Yahweh, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, "Spare your people, Yahweh, and don't give your heritage to reproach, that the nations should rule over them. Why should they say among the peoples, 'Where is their God?'"

web@Joel:2:19 @ Yahweh answered his people, "Behold, I will send you grain, new wine, and oil, and you will be satisfied with them; and I will no more make you a reproach among the nations.

web@Joel:2:20 @ But I will remove the northern army far away from you, and will drive it into a barren and desolate land, its front into the eastern sea, and its back into the western sea; and its stench will come up, and its bad smell will rise." Surely he has done great things.

web@Joel:2:21 @ Land, don't be afraid. Be glad and rejoice, for Yahweh has done great things.

web@Joel:2:23 @ "Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in Yahweh, your God; for he gives you the former rain in just measure, and he causes the rain to come down for you, the former rain and the latter rain, as before.

web@Joel:2:24 @ The threshing floors will be full of wheat, and the vats will overflow with new wine and oil.

web@Joel:2:25 @ I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the great locust, the grasshopper, and the caterpillar, my great army, which I sent among you.

web@Joel:2:26 @ You will have plenty to eat, and be satisfied, and will praise the name of Yahweh, your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and my people will never again be disappointed.

web@Joel:2:27 @ You will know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Yahweh, your God, and there is no one else; and my people will never again be disappointed.

web@Joel:2:31 @ The sun will be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and terrible day of Yahweh comes.

web@Joel:3:2 @ I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will execute judgment on them there for my people, and for my heritage, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have divided my land,

web@Joel:3:18 @ It will happen in that day, that the mountains will drop down sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the brooks of Judah will flow with waters, and a fountain will come forth from the house of Yahweh, and will water the valley of Shittim.

web@Joel:3:19 @ Egypt will be a desolation, and Edom will be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the children of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood in their land.

web@Joel:3:20 @ But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.

web@Amos:3:1 @ Hear this word that Yahweh has spoken against you, children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying:

web@Amos:3:5 @ Can a bird fall in a trap on the earth, where no snare is set for him? Does a snare spring up from the ground, when there is nothing to catch?

web@Amos:3:9 @ Proclaim in the palaces at Ashdod, and in the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say, "Assemble yourselves on the mountains of Samaria, and see what unrest is in her, and what oppression is among them."

web@Amos:5:10 @ They hate him who reproves in the gate, and they abhor him who speaks blamelessly.

web@Amos:7:17 @ Therefore thus says Yahweh: 'Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"

web@Amos:8:2 @ He said, "Amos, what do you see?" I said, "A basket of summer fruit." Then Yahweh said to me, "The end has come on my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.

web@Amos:8:6 @ that we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes, and sell the sweepings with the wheat?'"

web@Amos:8:9 @ It will happen in that day," says the Lord Yahweh, "that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day.

web@Amos:8:10 @ I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will make you wear sackcloth on all your bodies, and baldness on every head. I will make it like the mourning for an only son, and its end like a bitter day.

web@Amos:8:11 @ Behold, the days come," says the Lord Yahweh, "that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of Yahweh.

web@Amos:8:13 @ In that day the beautiful virgins and the young men will faint for thirst.

web@Amos:9:1 @ I saw the Lord standing beside the altar, and he said, "Strike the tops of the pillars, that the thresholds may shake; and break them in pieces on the head of all of them; and I will kill the last of them with the sword: there shall not one of them flee away, and there shall not one of them escape.

web@Amos:9:9 @ "For, behold, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all the nations, as grain is sifted in a sieve, yet not the least kernel will fall on the earth.

web@Obadiah:1:8 @ "Won't I in that day," says Yahweh, "destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mountain of Esau?

web@Obadiah:1:9 @ Your mighty men, Teman, will be dismayed, to the end that everyone may be cut off from the mountain of Esau by slaughter.

web@Obadiah:1:11 @ In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you were like one of them.

web@Obadiah:1:13 @ Don't enter into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity. Don't look down on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither seize their wealth on the day of their calamity.

web@Obadiah:1:15 @ For the day of Yahweh is near all the nations! As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your own head.

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@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:1:10 @ 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:1:11 @ Then they said to him, "What shall we do to you, that the sea may be calm to us?" For the sea grew more and more stormy.

web@Jonah:1:12 @ He said to them, "Take me up, and throw me into the sea. Then the sea will be calm for you; for I know that because of me this great storm is on you."

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:2:5 @ The waters surrounded me, even to the soul. The deep was around me. The weeds were wrapped around my head.

web@Jonah:2:9 @ But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Yahweh."

web@Jonah:3:2 @ "Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and preach to it the message that I give you."

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:3:8 @ but let them be covered with sackcloth, both man and animal, and let them cry mightily to God. Yes, let them turn everyone from his evil way, and from the violence that is in his hands.

web@Jonah:3:9 @ Who knows whether God will not turn and relent, and turn away from his fierce anger, so that we might not perish?"

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:4:2 @ 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:4:7 @ But God prepared a worm at dawn the next day, and it chewed on the vine, so that it withered.

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@Jonah:4:9 @ God said to Jonah, "Is it right for you to be angry about the vine?" He said, "I am right to be angry, even to death."

web@Jonah:4:11 @ Shouldn't I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can't discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much livestock?"

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:1:5 @ "All this is for the disobedience of Jacob, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the disobedience of Jacob? Isn't it Samaria? And what are the high places of Judah? Aren't they Jerusalem?

web@Micah:1:6 @ Therefore I will make Samaria like a rubble heap of the field, like places for planting vineyards; and I will pour down its stones into the valley, and I will uncover its foundations.

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:1:10 @ Don't tell it in Gath. Don't weep at all. At Beth Ophrah {Beth Ophrah means literally "House of Dust."} I have rolled myself in the dust.

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:1:14 @ Therefore you will give a parting gift to Moresheth Gath. The houses of Achzib will be a deceitful thing to the kings of Israel.

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:2:8 @ 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: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: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:5:8 @ The remnant of Jacob will be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the animals of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep; who, if he goes through, treads down and tears in pieces, and there is no one to deliver.

web@Micah:6:5 @ My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of Yahweh."

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:6:13 @ Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins.

web@Micah:6:14 @ You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your humiliation will be in your midst. You will store up, but not save; and that which you save I will give up to the sword.

web@Micah:6:16 @ For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab. You walk in their counsels, that I may make you a ruin, and her inhabitants a hissing; And you will bear the reproach of my people."

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:7:3 @ 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:7:6 @ For the son dishonors the father, the daughter rises up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.

web@Habbakkuk:3:14 @ You pierced the heads of his warriors with their own spears. They came as a whirlwind to scatter me, gloating as if to devour the wretched in secret.

web@Habbakkuk:3:15 @ You trampled the sea with your horses, churning mighty waters.

web@Habbakkuk:3:16 @ I heard, and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones, and I tremble in my place, because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, for the coming up of the people who invade us.

web@Habbakkuk:3:18 @ yet I will rejoice in Yahweh. I will be joyful in the God of my salvation!

web@Habbakkuk:3:19 @ Yahweh, the Lord {The word translated "Lord" is "Adonai."}, is my strength. He makes my feet like deer's feet, and enables me to go in high places. For the music director, on my stringed instruments.

web@Zephaniah:1:1 @ The word of Yahweh {"Yahweh" is God's proper Name, sometimes rendered "LORD" (all caps) in other translations.} which came to Zephaniah, the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hezekiah, in the days of Josiah, the son of Amon, king of Judah.

web@Zephaniah:1:4 @ I will stretch out my hand against Judah, and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place: the name of the idolatrous and pagan priests,

web@Zephaniah:1:7 @ Be silent at the presence of the Lord {The word translated "Lord" is "Adonai."} Yahweh, for the day of Yahweh is at hand. For Yahweh has prepared a sacrifice. He has consecrated his guests.

web@Zephaniah:1:8 @ It will happen in the day of Yahweh's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, the king's sons, and all those who are clothed with foreign clothing.

web@Zephaniah:1:9 @ In that day, I will punish all those who leap over the threshold, who fill their master's house with violence and deceit.

web@Zephaniah:1:10 @ In that day, says Yahweh, there will be the noise of a cry from the fish gate, a wailing from the second quarter, and a great crashing from the hills.

web@Zephaniah:1:12 @ It will happen at that time, that I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are settled on their dregs, who say in their heart, "Yahweh will not do good, neither will he do evil."

web@Zephaniah:1:13 @ Their wealth will become a spoil, and their houses a desolation. Yes, they will build houses, but won't inhabit them. They will plant vineyards, but won't drink their wine.

web@Zephaniah:1:14 @ The great day of Yahweh is near. It is near, and hurries greatly, the voice of the day of Yahweh. The mighty man cries there bitterly.

web@Zephaniah:1:15 @ That day is a day of wrath, a day of distress and anguish, a day of trouble and ruin, a day of darkness and gloom, a day of clouds and blackness,

web@Zephaniah:1:16 @ a day of the trumpet and alarm, against the fortified cities, and against the high battlements.

web@Zephaniah:1:17 @ I will bring distress on men, that they will walk like blind men, because they have sinned against Yahweh, and their blood will be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung.

web@Zephaniah:1:18 @ Neither their silver nor their gold will be able to deliver them in the day of Yahweh's wrath, but the whole land will be devoured by the fire of his jealousy; for he will make an end, yes, a terrible end, of all those who dwell in the land.

web@Zephaniah:2:1 @ Gather yourselves together, yes, gather together, you nation that has no shame,

web@Zephaniah:2:3 @ Seek Yahweh, all you humble of the land, who have kept his ordinances. Seek righteousness. Seek humility. It may be that you will be hidden in the day of Yahweh's anger.

web@Zephaniah:2:4 @ For Gaza will be forsaken, and Ashkelon a desolation. They will drive out Ashdod at noonday, and Ekron will be rooted up.

web@Zephaniah:2:5 @ Woe to the inhabitants of the sea coast, the nation of the Cherethites! The word of Yahweh is against you, Canaan, the land of the Philistines. I will destroy you, that there will be no inhabitant.

web@Zephaniah:2:9 @ Therefore as I live, says Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, surely Moab will be as Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, a possession of nettles, and salt pits, and a perpetual desolation. The remnant of my people will plunder them, and the survivors of my nation will inherit them.

web@Zephaniah:2:11 @ Yahweh will be awesome to them, for he will famish all the gods of the land. Men will worship him, everyone from his place, even all the shores of the nations.

web@Zephaniah:2:13 @ He will stretch out his hand against the north, destroy Assyria, and will make Nineveh a desolation, as dry as the wilderness.

web@Zephaniah:2:14 @ Herds will lie down in the midst of her, all the animals of the nations. Both the pelican and the porcupine will lodge in its capitals. Their calls will echo through the windows. Desolation will be in the thresholds, for he has laid bare the cedar beams.

web@Zephaniah:2:15 @ This is the joyous city that lived carelessly, that said in her heart, "I am, and there is none besides me." How she has become a desolation, a place for animals to lie down in! Everyone who passes by her will hiss, and shake their fists.

web@Zephaniah:3:6 @ I have cut off nations. Their battlements are desolate. I have made their streets waste, so that no one passes by. Their cities are destroyed, so that there is no man, so that there is no inhabitant.

web@Zephaniah:3:7 @ I said, "Just fear me. Receive correction, so that her dwelling won't be cut off, according to all that I have appointed concerning her." But they rose early and corrupted all their doings.

web@Zephaniah:3:8 @ "Therefore wait for me," says Yahweh, "until the day that I rise up to the prey, for my determination is to gather the nations, that I may assemble the kingdoms, to pour on them my indignation, even all my fierce anger, for all the earth will be devoured with the fire of my jealousy.

web@Zephaniah:3:9 @ For then I will purify the lips of the peoples, that they may all call on the name of Yahweh, to serve him shoulder to shoulder.

web@Zephaniah:3:11 @ In that day you will not be disappointed for all your doings, in which you have transgressed against me; for then I will take away out of the midst of you your proudly exulting ones, and you will no more be haughty in my holy mountain.

web@Zephaniah:3:16 @ In that day, it will be said to Jerusalem, "Don't be afraid, Zion. Don't let your hands be weak."

web@Zephaniah:3:19 @ Behold, at that time I will deal with all those who afflict you, and I will save those who are lame, and gather those who were driven away. I will give them praise and honor, whose shame has been in all the earth.

web@Zephaniah:3:20 @ At that time will I bring you in, and at that time will I gather you; for I will give you honor and praise among all the peoples of the earth, when I restore your fortunes before your eyes, says Yahweh.

web@Haggai:1:1 @ In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, the Word of Yahweh {"Yahweh" is God's proper Name, sometimes rendered "LORD" (all caps) in other translations.} came by Haggai, the prophet, to Zerubbabel, the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua, the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, saying,

web@Haggai:1:2 @ "This is what Yahweh of Armies says: These people say, 'The time hasn't yet come, the time for Yahweh's house to be built.'"

web@Haggai:1:5 @ Now therefore this is what Yahweh of Armies says: Consider your ways.

web@Haggai:1:6 @ You have sown much, and bring in little. You eat, but you don't have enough. You drink, but you aren't filled with drink. You clothe yourselves, but no one is warm, and he who earns wages earns wages to put them into a bag with holes in it."

web@Haggai:1:7 @ This is what Yahweh of Armies says: "Consider your ways.

web@Haggai:1:9 @ "You looked for much, and, behold, it came to little; and when you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?" says Yahweh of Armies, "Because of my house that lies waste, while each of you is busy with his own house.

web@Haggai:1:11 @ I called for a drought on the land, on the mountains, on the grain, on the new wine, on the oil, on that which the ground brings forth, on men, on livestock, and on all the labor of the hands."

web@Haggai:2:5 @ This is the word that I covenanted with you when you came out of Egypt, and my Spirit lived among you. 'Don't be afraid.'

web@Haggai:2:6 @ For this is what Yahweh of Armies says: 'Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, the earth, the sea, and the dry land;

web@Haggai:2:7 @ and I will shake all nations. The precious things of all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory, says Yahweh of Armies.

web@Haggai:2:9 @ 'The latter glory of this house will be greater than the former,' says Yahweh of Armies; 'and in this place will I give peace,' says Yahweh of Armies."

web@Haggai:2:12 @ 'If someone carries holy meat in the fold of his garment, and with his fold touches bread, stew, wine, oil, or any food, will it become holy?'" The priests answered, "No."

web@Haggai:2:14 @ Then Haggai answered, "'So is this people, and so is this nation before me,' says Yahweh; 'and so is every work of their hands. That which they offer there is unclean.

web@Haggai:2:16 @ Through all that time, when one came to a heap of twenty measures, there were only ten. When one came to the wine vat to draw out fifty, there were only twenty.

web@Haggai:2:18 @ 'Consider, please, from this day and backward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth month, since the day that the foundation of Yahweh's temple was laid, consider it.

web@Haggai:2:19 @ Is the seed yet in the barn? Yes, the vine, the fig tree, the pomegranate, and the olive tree haven't brought forth. From this day will I bless you.'"

web@Haggai:2:22 @ I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms. I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. I will overthrow the chariots, and those who ride in them. The horses and their riders will come down, everyone by the sword of his brother.

web@Haggai:2:23 @ In that day, says Yahweh of Armies, will I take you, Zerubbabel, my servant, the son of Shealtiel,' says Yahweh, 'and will make you as a signet, for I have chosen you,' says Yahweh of Armies."

web@Zechariah:1:1 @ In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the word of Yahweh {"Yahweh" is God's proper Name, sometimes rendered "LORD" (all caps) in other translations.} came to Zechariah the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, the prophet, saying,

web@Zechariah:1:2 @ "Yahweh was very displeased with your fathers.

web@Zechariah:1:4 @ Don't you be like your fathers, to whom the former prophets proclaimed, saying: Thus says Yahweh of Armies, 'Return now from your evil ways, and from your evil doings;' but they did not hear, nor listen to me, says Yahweh.

web@Zechariah:1:5 @ Your fathers, where are they? And the prophets, do they live forever?

web@Zechariah:1:6 @ But my words and my decrees, which I commanded my servants the prophets, didn't they overtake your fathers? "Then they repented and said, 'Just as Yahweh of Armies determined to do to us, according to our ways, and according to our practices, so he has dealt with us.'"
