nsb@Micah:7:2 @ The godly man has perished from the earth. There is none upright among men! They all lie in wait for blood. Every man hunts his own brother with a net.
nsb@Micah:7:3 @ They diligently seek to do evil with their hands. The prince asks and the judge is ready for a bribe. The great man utters his own evil desire. They weave it together.
nsb@Micah:7:6 @ The son dishonors the father. The daughter rises up against her mother and the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. A man's enemies are the men of his own house.
nsb@Micah:7:9 @ I will bear the indignation of Jehovah, because I have sinned against him. He will plead my cause, and execute judgment for me. He will bring me forth to the light and I will see his righteousness.

nsb@Micah:7:20 @ You will give truth to Jacob, and show loving-kindness to Abraham. For you have sworn this to our fathers from the days of old.
nsb@Nahum:1:2 @ Jehovah is a zealous God requiring exclusive devotion. Jehovah takes vengeance against his adversaries. He reserves wrath against his enemies.
nsb@Nahum:1:3 @ Jehovah is slow to anger, and great in power! He will by no means reprieve the guilty. Jehovah has his way in the whirlwind and in the storm. The clouds are the dust of his feet.

nsb@Nahum:2:12 @ The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses. He filled his caves and dens with prey.
nsb@Nahum:3:4 @ This is because of Nineveh's constant prostitution, this very charming mistress of evil magic. She used to sell nations by her prostitution and people by her evil magic.
nsb@Habakkuk:1:1 @ This is the message Jehovah revealed to Habakkuk the prophet:
nsb@Habakkuk:1:15 @ He brings them all up with the hook. He gathers them away in his net. He gladly gathers them and rejoices.
nsb@Habakkuk:1:16 @ He offers sacrifices and burns incense to his fishing net. For it is through this their catch is great and the food is plentiful.
nsb@Habakkuk:2:6 @ »Will they all taunt him by directing clever sayings and riddles at him? They will say: How horrible it will be for the one who makes himself rich with what is not his own and makes himself wealthy on loans. How long will this go on?

nsb@Habakkuk:3:5 @ Before him go the pestilence, and fiery bolts go forth at his feet.

nsb@Habakkuk:3:14 @ You pierced the head of his warriors. They came as a whirlwind to scatter me. They secretly devour the oppressed.
nsb@Zephaniah:1:1 @ This is the word Jehovah spoke to Zephaniah. Zephaniah was the son of Cushi, the grandson of Gedaliah, and the great-grandson of Amariah, son of Hezekiah. Jehovah spoke his word in the days of Judah's King Josiah, son of Amon.
nsb@Zephaniah:1:4 @ »I will use my power against Judah and against the inhabitants of Jerusalem. I will destroy followers of Baal in this place. I will remove the names of the pagan priests along with my priests.

nsb@Zephaniah:2:11 @ »Jehovah will fill them with fear for he will starve all the gods of the earth! Men will worship him, each one from his place, even the coastlands of the nations.
nsb@Zephaniah:2:13 @ »He will stretch out his hand against the north, and destroy Assyria. He will make Nineveh a desolation. It will be barren like the desert wilderness.
nsb@Zephaniah:2:15 @ »This is the joyous city that dwelled in security. She said in her heart, I am! There is no one else! She has become an object of desolation, a place for wild animals to lie down in. Every one who passes by her will hiss, and wag his hand.«
nsb@Zephaniah:3:7 @ »I said, show me respect and receive discipline! That way she would not loose her dwelling. This is according to all that I have appointed concerning her. But they rose early to corrupt all their deeds.«

nsb@Zephaniah:3:20 @ »At that time I will bring you in! At that time I will gather you together. I will give you a name and praise among all the peoples of the earth! This will happen when I gather back your captive ones before your very eyes,« declares Jehovah.
nsb@Haggai:1:2 @ Jehovah of Hosts said to Haggai: »These people say that this is not the right time to rebuild the Temple.«
nsb@Haggai:1:4 @ »Is it time for you to dwell in your roofed and covered houses, while this house is desolate?«
nsb@Haggai:1:9 @ »You looked for much harvest and you received little. When you brought it home, I blew it away. Why?« Said Jehovah of Hosts. »Because my house lies in waste, while each of you run to his house.
nsb@Haggai:1:15 @ This was on the twenty-fourth day of the sixth month of the second year that Darius was king.
nsb@Haggai:2:3 @ Who is left among you who saw this house in its former glory? How do you see it now? Is it nothing in your eyes?
nsb@Haggai:2:7 @ »I will shake all the nations and make them afraid. The treasures of all the nations will be brought here. I will fill this house with glory.

nsb@Haggai:2:12 @ »A man takes a piece of consecrated meat from a sacrifice and carries it in a fold of his robe. He then lets his robe touch any bread, cooked food, wine, olive oil, or any kind of food at all. Will it make that food consecrated also?« When the question was asked, the priests answered, »No.«
nsb@Haggai:2:13 @ Then Haggai asked: »This person is defiled because he has touched a dead body. If he then touches any of these foods, will that make them defiled too?« The priests answered, »Yes.«
nsb@Haggai:2:14 @ Then Haggai said: »Jehovah declared that the same thing applies to the people of this nation and to everything they produce; and so everything they offer on the altar is defiled.«
