Hosea:1:6 @And after that she gave birth to a daughter. And the Lord said, Give her the name Lo-ruhamah; for I will not again have mercy on Israel, to give them forgiveness.
bbe@Hosea:1:7 @But I will have mercy on Judah and will give them salvation by the Lord their God, but not by the bow or the sword or by fighting or by horses or horsemen.
bbe@Hosea:1:8 @Now when Lo-ruhamah had been taken from the breast, the woman gave birth to a son.
bbe@Hosea:1:9 @And the Lord said, Give him the name Lo-ammi; for you are not my people, and I will not be your God.
bbe@Hosea:1:10 @But still the number of the children of Israel will be like the sand of the sea, which may not be measured or numbered; and in place of its being said to them, You are not my people, it will be said to them, You are the sons of the living God
bbe@Hosea:2:2 @Take up the cause against your mother, take it up, for she is not my wife, and I am not her husband; let her put away her loose ways from her face, and her false ways from between her breasts;
bbe@Hosea:2:4 @And I will have no mercy on her children, for they are the children of her loose ways.
bbe@Hosea:2:6 @For this cause I will put thorns in her road, building up a wall round her so that she may not go on her way.
bbe@Hosea:2:7 @And if she goes after her lovers she will not overtake them; if she makes search for them she will not see them; then will she say, I will go back to my first husband, for then it was better for me than now.
bbe@Hosea:2:8 @For she had no knowledge that it was I who gave her the grain and the wine and the oil, increasing her silver and gold which they gave to the Baal.
bbe@Hosea:2:10 @And now I will make her shame clear before the eyes of her lovers, and no one will take her out of my hand.
bbe@Hosea:2:13 @And I will give her punishment for the days of the Baals, to whom she has been burning perfumes, when she made herself fair with her nose-rings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, giving no thought to me, says the Lord.
bbe@Hosea:2:20 @I will take you as my bride in good faith, and you will have knowledge of the Lord.
bbe@Hosea:2:23 @And I will put her as seed in the earth, and I will have mercy on her to whom no mercy was given; and I will say to those who were not my people, You are my people, and they will say, My God.
bbe@Hosea:3:3 @And I said to her, You are to be mine for a long space of time; you are not to be false to me, and no other man is to have you for his wife; and so will I be to you.
bbe@Hosea:4:1 @Give ear to the word of the Lord, O children of Israel; for the Lord has a cause against the people of this land, because there is no good faith in it, and no mercy and no knowledge of God in the land.
bbe@Hosea:4:4 @Let no man go to law or make protests, for your people are like those who go to law with a priest.
bbe@Hosea:4:5 @You will not be able to keep on your feet by day, and by night the prophet will be falling down with you, and I will give your mother to destruction.
bbe@Hosea:4:6 @Destruction has overtaken my people because they have no knowledge; because you have given up knowledge, I will give you up, so that you will be no priest to me, because you have not kept in mind the law of your God, I will not keep your children in my memory.
bbe@Hosea:4:10 @They will have food, but they will not be full; they will be false to me, but they will not be increased, because they no longer give thought to the Lord
bbe@Hosea:4:12 @My people get knowledge from their tree, and their rod gives them news; for a false spirit is the cause of their wandering, and they have been false to their God.
bbe@Hosea:4:14 @I will not give punishment to your daughters or your brides for their evil behaviour; for they make themselves separate with loose women, and make offerings with those who are used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods: the people who have no wisdom will be sent away.
bbe@Hosea:4:15 @Do not you, O Israel, come into error; do not you, O Judah, come to Gilgal, or go up to Beth-aven, or take an oath, By the living Lord.
bbe@Hosea:4:16 @For Israel is uncontrolled, like a cow which may not be controlled; now will the Lord give them food like a lamb in a wide place.
bbe@Hosea:5:3 @I have knowledge of Ephraim, and Israel is not secret from me; for now, O Ephraim, you have been false to me, Israel has become unclean.
bbe@Hosea:5:4 @Their works will not let them come back to their God, for a false spirit is in them and they have no knowledge of the Lord.
bbe@Hosea:5:6 @They will go, with their flocks and their herds, in search of the Lord, but they will not see him; he has taken himself out of their view.
bbe@Hosea:5:7 @They have been false to the Lord; they have given birth to strange children; now the new moon will make them waste with their fields.
bbe@Hosea:5:9 @Ephraim will become a waste in the day of punishment; I have given knowledge among the tribes of Israel of what is certain.
bbe@Hosea:5:13 @When Ephraim saw his disease and Judah his wound, then Ephraim went to Assyria and sent to the great king; but he is not able to make you well or give you help for your wound.
bbe@Hosea:5:14 @For I will be to Ephraim as a lion, and as a young lion to the children of Judah; I, even I, will give him wounds and go away; I will take him away, and there will be no helper.
bbe@Hosea:6:3 @And let us have knowledge, let us go after the knowledge of the Lord; his going out is certain as the dawn, his decisions go out like the light; he will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.
bbe@Hosea:6:6 @Because my desire is for mercy and not offerings; for the knowledge of God more than for burned offerings.
bbe@Hosea:7:2 @And they do not say to themselves that I keep in mind all their sin; now their evil acts come round them on every side; they are before my face.
bbe@Hosea:7:4 @They are all untrue; they are like a burning oven; the bread-maker does not make up the fire from the time when the paste is mixed till it is leavened.
bbe@Hosea:7:7 @They are all heated like an oven, and they put an end to their judges; all their kings have been made low; not one among them makes prayer to me.
bbe@Hosea:7:8 @Ephraim is mixed with the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.
bbe@Hosea:7:9 @Men from other lands have made waste his strength, and he is not conscious of it; grey hairs have come on him here and there, and he has no knowledge of it.
bbe@Hosea:7:10 @And the pride of Israel gives an answer to his face; but for all this, they have not gone back to the Lord their God, or made search for him.
bbe@Hosea:7:14 @And they have not made prayer to me in their hearts, but they make loud cries on their beds; they are cutting themselves for food and wine, they are turned against me.
bbe@Hosea:7:16 @They have gone to what is of no value; they are like a false bow; their captains will come to destruction by the sword, and their ruler by my wrath; for this, the land of Egypt will make sport of them
bbe@Hosea:8:1 @Put the horn to your mouth. He comes like an eagle against the house of the Lord; because they have gone against my agreement, they have not kept my law.
bbe@Hosea:8:2 @They will send up to me a cry for help: We, Israel, have knowledge of you, O God of Israel.
bbe@Hosea:8:4 @They have put up kings, but not by me; they have made princes, but I had no knowledge of it; they have made images of silver and gold, so that they may be cut off.
bbe@Hosea:8:5 @I will have nothing to do with your young ox, O Samaria; my wrath is burning against them; how long will it be before the children of Israel make themselves clean?
bbe@Hosea:8:6 @The workman made it, it is no god; the ox of Samaria will be broken into bits.
bbe@Hosea:8:7 @For they have been planting the wind, and their fruit will be the storm; his grain has no stem, it will give no meal, and if it does, a strange nation will take it.
bbe@Hosea:8:8 @Israel has come to destruction; now they are among the nations like a cup in which there is no pleasure.
bbe@Hosea:8:13 @He gives the offerings of his lovers, and takes the flesh for food; but the Lord has no pleasure in them; now he will keep in mind their evil-doing and give them the punishment of their sins; they will go back to Egypt.
bbe@Hosea:8:14 @For Israel has no memory of his Maker, and has put up the houses of kings; and Judah has made great the number of his walled towns. But I will send a fire on his towns and put an end to his great houses.
bbe@Hosea:9:1 @Have no joy, O Israel, and do not be glad like the nations; for you have been untrue to your God; your desire has been for the loose woman's reward on every grain-floor.
bbe@Hosea:9:2 @The grain-floor and the place where the grapes are crushed will not give them food; there will be no new wine for them.
bbe@Hosea:9:3 @They will have no resting-place in the Lord's land, but Ephraim will go back to Egypt, and they will take unclean food in Assyria.
bbe@Hosea:9:4 @They will give no wine offering to the Lord, they will not make offerings ready for him; their bread will be like the bread of those in sorrow; all who take it will be unclean, because their bread will be only for their desire, it will not come into the house of the Lord.
bbe@Hosea:9:11 @As for Ephraim, their glory will go in flight like a bird: there will be no birth and no one with child and no giving of life.
bbe@Hosea:9:12 @Even though their children have come to growth I will take them away, so that not a man will be there; for their evil-doing will be complete and they will be put to shame because of it.
bbe@Hosea:9:14 @O Lord, what will you give them? Give them bodies which may not give birth and breasts without milk.
bbe@Hosea:9:15 @All their evil-doing is in Gilgal; there I had hate for them; because of their evil-doing I will send them out of my house; they will no longer be dear to me; all their rulers are uncontrolled.
bbe@Hosea:9:16 @The rod has come on Ephraim, their root is dry, let them have no fruit; even though they give birth, I will put to death the dearest fruit of their bodies.
bbe@Hosea:9:17 @My God will give them up because they did not give ear to him; they will be wandering among the nations.
bbe@Hosea:10:2 @Their mind is taken away; now they will be made waste: he will have their altars broken down, he will give their pillars to destruction.
bbe@Hosea:10:3 @Now, truly, they will say, We have no king, we have no fear of the Lord; and the king, what is he able to do for us?
bbe@Hosea:10:9 @O Israel, you have done evil from the days of Gibeah; there they took up their position, so that the fighting against the children of evil might not overtake them in Gibeah
bbe@Hosea:11:3 @But I was guiding Ephraim's footsteps; I took them up in my arms, but they were not conscious that I was ready to make them well.
bbe@Hosea:11:5 @He will go back to the land of Egypt and the Assyrian will be his king, because they would not come back to me.
bbe@Hosea:11:7 @My people are given up to sinning against me; though their voice goes up on high, no one will be lifting them up.
bbe@Hosea:11:9 @I will not put into effect the heat of my wrath; I will not again send destruction on Ephraim; for I am God and not man, the Holy One among you; I will not put an end to you.
bbe@Hosea:12:8 @And Ephraim said, Now I have got wealth and much property; in all my works no sin may be seen in me.
bbe@Hosea:13:2 @And now their sins are increased; they have made themselves a metal image, false gods from their silver, after their designs, all of them the work of the metal-workers; they say of them, Let them give offerings, let men give kisses to the oxen.
bbe@Hosea:13:4 @But I am the Lord your God, from the land of Egypt; you have knowledge of no other God and there is no saviour but me.
bbe@Hosea:13:5 @I had knowledge of you in the waste land where no water was.
bbe@Hosea:13:6 @When I gave them food they were full, and their hearts were full of pride, and they did not keep me in mind.
bbe@Hosea:13:13 @The pains of a woman in childbirth will come on him: he is an unwise son, for at this time it is not right for him to keep his place when children come to birth.
bbe@Hosea:13:14 @I will give the price to make them free from the power of the underworld, I will be their saviour from death: O death! where are your pains? O underworld! where is your destruction? my eyes will have no pity.
bbe@Hosea:14:3 @Assyria will not be our salvation; we will not go on horses; we will not again say to the work of our hands, You are our gods; for in you there is mercy for the child who has no father.
bbe@Hosea:14:5 @I will be as the dew to Israel; he will put out flowers like a lily, and send out his roots like Lebanon.
bbe@Hosea:14:6 @His branches will be stretched out, he will be beautiful as the olive-tree and sweet-smelling as Lebanon.
bbe@Hosea:14:7 @They will come back and have rest in his shade; their life will be made new like the grain, and they will put out flowers like the vine; his name will be like the wine of Lebanon.
bbe@Hosea:14:9 @He who is wise will see these things; he who has good sense will have knowledge of them. For the ways of the Lord are straight, and the upright will go in them, but sinners will be falling in them.
bbe@Joel:1:2 @Give ear to this, you old men, and take note, you people of the land. Has this ever been in your days, or in the days of your fathers?
bbe@Joel:1:3 @Give the story of it to your children, and let them give it to their children, and their children to another generation.
bbe@Joel:1:4 @What the worm did not make a meal of, has been taken by the locust; and what the locust did not take, has been food for the plant-worm; and what the plant-worm did not take, has been food for the field-fly.
bbe@Joel:1:16 @Is not food cut off before our eyes? joy and delight from the house of our God?
bbe@Joel:1:18 @What sounds of pain come from the beasts! the herds of cattle are at a loss because there is no grass for them; even the flocks of sheep are no longer to be seen.
bbe@Joel:2:2 @For a day of dark and deep shade is near, a day of cloud and black night: like a black cloud a great and strong people is covering the mountains; there has never been any like them and will not be after them again, from generation to generation.
bbe@Joel:2:3 @Before them fire sends destruction, and after them flame is burning: the land is like the garden of Eden before them, and after them an unpeopled waste; truly, nothing has been kept safe from them.
bbe@Joel:2:5 @Like the sound of war-carriages they go jumping on the tops of the mountains; like the noise of a flame of fire burning up the grain-stems, like a strong people lined up for the fight.
bbe@Joel:2:7 @They are running like strong men, they go over the wall like men of war; every man goes straight on his way, their lines are not broken.
bbe@Joel:2:8 @No one is pushing against another; everyone goes straight on his way: bursting through the sword points, their order is not broken.
bbe@Joel:2:12 @But even now, says the Lord, come back to me with all your heart, keeping from food, with weeping and with sorrow:
bbe@Joel:2:13 @Let your hearts be broken, and not your clothing, and come back to the Lord your God: for he is full of grace and pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, ready to be turned from his purpose of punishment.
bbe@Joel:2:14 @May it not be that he will again let his purpose be changed and let a blessing come after him, even a meal offering and a drink offering for the Lord your God?
bbe@Joel:2:17 @Let the priests, the servants of the Lord, be weeping between the covered way and the altar, and let them say, Have mercy on your people, O Lord, do not give up your heritage to shame, so that the nations become their rulers: why let them say among the peoples, Where is their God?
bbe@Joel:2:18 @Then the Lord had a care for the honour of his land and had pity on his people.
bbe@Joel:2:19 @And the Lord made answer and said to his people, See, I will send you grain and wine and oil in full measure: and I will no longer let you be shamed among the nations:
bbe@Joel:2:20 @I will send the one from the north far away from you, driving him into a dry and waste land, with his front to the sea of the east and his back to the sea of the west, and the smell of him will go up, even his evil smell will go up.
bbe@Joel:2:21 @Have no fear, O land; be glad with great joy; for the Lord has done great things.
bbe@Joel:2:22 @Have no fear, you beasts of the field, for the grass-lands of the waste are becoming green, for the trees are producing fruit, the fig-tree and the vine give out their strength.
bbe@Joel:2:27 @And you will be certain that I am in Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and there is no other: and my people will never be shamed.
bbe@Joel:3:17 @And you will be certain that I am the Lord your God, living in Zion, my holy mountain: and Jerusalem will be holy, and no strange person will ever again go through her.
bbe@Joel:3:21 @And I will send punishment for their blood, for which punishment has not been sent, for the Lord is living in Zion.
bbe@Amos:1:3 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Damascus, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have been crushing Gilead with iron grain-crushing instruments.
bbe@Amos:1:6 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Gaza, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they took all the people away prisoners, to give them up to Edom.
bbe@Amos:1:9 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Tyre, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they gave up all the people prisoners to Edom, without giving a thought to the brothers' agreement between them.
bbe@Amos:1:11 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Edom, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because his sword was turned against his brother, without pity, and his wrath was burning at all times, and he was angry for ever.
bbe@Amos:1:13 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of the children of Ammon, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because in Gilead they had women with child cut open, so that they might make wider the limits of their land.
bbe@Amos:2:1 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Moab, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because he had the bones of the king of Edom burned to dust.
bbe@Amos:2:2 @And I will send a fire on Moab, burning up the great houses of Kerioth: and death will come on Moab with noise and outcries and the sound of the horn:
bbe@Amos:2:4 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Judah, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given up the law of the Lord, and have not kept his rules; and their false ways, in which their fathers went, have made them go out of the right way.
bbe@Amos:2:6 @These are the words of the Lord: For three crimes of Israel, and for four, I will not let its fate be changed; because they have given the upright man for silver, and the poor for the price of two shoes;
bbe@Amos:2:11 @And some of your sons I made prophets, and some of your young men I made separate for myself. Is it not even so, O children of Israel? says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:2:12 @But to those who were separate you gave wine for drink; and to the prophets you said, Be prophets no longer.
bbe@Amos:2:14 @And flight will be impossible for the quick-footed, and the force of the strong will become feeble, and the man of war will not get away safely:
bbe@Amos:2:15 @And the bowman will not keep his place; he who is quick-footed will not get away safely: and the horseman will not keep his life.
bbe@Amos:3:3 @Is it possible for two to go walking together, if not by agreement?
bbe@Amos:3:4 @Will a lion give his loud cry in the woodland when no food is there? will the voice of the young lion be sounding from his hole if he has taken nothing?
bbe@Amos:3:5 @Is it possible for a bird to be taken in a net on the earth where no net has been put for him? will the net come up from the earth if it has taken nothing at all?
bbe@Amos:3:6 @If the horn is sounded in the town will the people not be full of fear? will evil come on a town if the Lord has not done it?
bbe@Amos:3:7 @Certainly the Lord will do nothing without making clear his secret to his servants, the prophets.
bbe@Amos:3:8 @The cry of the lion is sounding; who will not have fear? The Lord God has said the word; is it possible for the prophet to keep quiet?
bbe@Amos:3:10 @For they have no knowledge of how to do what is right, says the Lord, who are storing up violent acts and destruction in their great houses
bbe@Amos:3:12 @These are the words of the Lord: As the keeper of sheep takes out of the mouth of the lion two legs or part of an ear; so will the children of Israel be made safe, who are resting in Samaria on seats of honour or on the silk cushions of a bed.
bbe@Amos:3:13 @Give ear now, and give witness against the family of Jacob, says the Lord God, the God of armies;
bbe@Amos:4:6 @But in all your towns I have kept food from your teeth, and in all your places there has been need of bread: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:4:7 @And I have kept back the rain from you, when it was still three months before the grain-cutting: I sent rain on one town and kept it back from another: one part was rained on, and the part where there was no rain became a waste.
bbe@Amos:4:8 @So two or three towns went wandering to one town looking for water, and did not get enough: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:4:9 @I have sent destruction on your fields by burning and disease: the increase of your gardens and your vine-gardens, your fig-trees and your olive-trees, has been food for worms: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:4:10 @I have sent disease among you, as it was in Egypt: I have put your young men to the sword, and have taken away your horses; I have made the evil smell from your tents come up to your noses: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord
bbe@Amos:4:11 @And I have sent destruction among you, as when God sent destruction on Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a burning stick pulled out of the fire: and still you have not come back to me, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:4:13 @For see, he who gave form to the mountains and made the wind, giving knowledge of his purpose to man, who makes the morning dark, and is walking on the high places of the earth: the Lord, the God of armies, is his name.
bbe@Amos:5:2 @The virgin of Israel has been made low, never again to be lifted up: she is stretched out by herself on her land; there is no one to put her on her feet again.
bbe@Amos:5:5 @Do not be looking for help to Beth-el, and do not go to Gilgal, or make your way to Beer-sheba: for Gilgal will certainly be taken prisoner, and Beth-el will come to nothing.
bbe@Amos:5:6 @Go to the Lord for help so that you may have life; for fear that he may come like fire bursting out in the family of Joseph, causing destruction, and there will be no one to put it out in Beth-el.
bbe@Amos:5:11 @So because the poor man is crushed under your feet, and you take taxes from him of grain: you have made for yourselves houses of cut stone, but you will not take your rest in them; the fair vine-gardens planted by your hands will not give you wine.
bbe@Amos:5:13 @So the wise will say nothing in that time; for it is an evil time.
bbe@Amos:5:14 @Go after good and not evil, so that life may be yours: and so the Lord, the God of armies, will be with you, as you say.
bbe@Amos:5:18 @Sorrow to you who are looking for the day of the Lord! what is the day of the Lord to you? it is dark and not light.
bbe@Amos:5:20 @Will not the day of the Lord be dark and not light? even very dark, with no light shining in it?
bbe@Amos:5:21 @Your feasts are disgusting to me, I will have nothing to do with them; I will take no delight in your holy meetings.
bbe@Amos:5:22 @Even if you give me your burned offerings and your meal offerings, I will not take pleasure in them: I will have nothing to do with the peace-offerings of your fat beasts.
bbe@Amos:5:23 @Take away from me the noise of your songs; my ears are shut to the melody of your instruments.
bbe@Amos:6:1 @Sorrow to those who are resting in comfort in Zion, and to those who have no fear of danger in the mountain of Samaria, the noted men of the chief of the nations, to whom the people of Israel come!
bbe@Amos:6:6 @Drinking wine in basins, rubbing themselves with the best oils; but they have no grief for the destruction of Joseph.
bbe@Amos:6:7 @So now they will go away prisoners with the first of those who are made prisoners, and the loud cry of those who were stretched out will come to an end.
bbe@Amos:6:10 @And when a man's relation, even the one who is responsible for burning his body, lifting him up to take his bones out of the house, says to him who is in the inmost part of the house, Is there still anyone with you? and he says, No; then he will say, Keep quiet, for the name of the Lord may not be named.
bbe@Amos:6:13 @You whose joy is in a thing of no value, who say, Have we not taken for ourselves horns by the strength which is ours?
bbe@Amos:7:3 @The Lord, changing his purpose about this, said, It will not be.
bbe@Amos:7:6 @The Lord, changing his purpose about this, said, And this will not be.
bbe@Amos:7:13 @But be a prophet no longer at Beth-el: for it is the holy place of the king, and the king's house.
bbe@Amos:7:14 @Then Amos in answer said to Amaziah, I am no prophet, or one of the sons of the prophets; I am a herdman and one who takes care of sycamore-trees:
bbe@Amos:7:16 @Now then, give ear to the word of the Lord: You say, Be no prophet to Israel, and say not a word against the people of Isaac
bbe@Amos:8:8 @Will not the land be shaking with fear because of this, and everyone in it have sorrow? and all of it will be overflowing like the River; and it will be troubled and go down again like the River of Egypt.
bbe@Amos:8:11 @See, the days are coming, says the Lord God, when I will send times of great need on the land, not need of food or desire for water, but for hearing the words of the Lord.
bbe@Amos:8:12 @And they will go wandering from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, running here and there in search of the word of the Lord, and they will not get it.
bbe@Amos:9:1 @I saw the Lord stationed by the side of the altar, giving blows to the tops of the pillars so that the doorsteps were shaking: and he said, I will let all of them be broken with earth-shocks; I will put the last of them to the sword: if any one of them goes in flight he will not get away, not one of them will be safe.
bbe@Amos:9:4 @And though they are taken away as prisoners by their attackers, even there will I give orders to the sword to put them to death: my eyes will be fixed on them for evil and not for good.
bbe@Amos:9:7 @Are you not as the children of the Ethiopians to me, O children of Israel? says the Lord. Have I not taken Israel up out of the land of Egypt, and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Aramaeans from Kir?
bbe@Amos:9:8 @See, the eyes of the Lord are on the evil kingdom, and I will put an end to it in all the earth; but I will not send complete destruction on Jacob, says the Lord.
bbe@Amos:9:9 @For see, I will give orders, and I will have Israel moved about among all the nations, as grain is moved about by the shaking of the tray, but not the smallest seed will be dropped on the earth.
bbe@Amos:9:10 @All those sinners among my people will be put to the sword who say, Evil will not overtake us or come face to face with us.
bbe@Obadiah:1:5 @If thieves came, attacking you by night, (how are you cut off!) would they not go on taking till they had enough? if men came cutting your grapes would they take them all?
bbe@Obadiah:1:8 @Will I not, in that day, says the Lord, take away the wise men out of Edom, and wisdom out of the mountain of Esau?
bbe@Obadiah:1:12 @Do not see with pleasure your brother's evil day, the day of his fate, and do not be glad over the children of Judah on the day of their destruction, or make wide your mouth on the day of trouble.
bbe@Obadiah:1:13 @Do not go into the doors of my people on the day of their downfall; do not be looking on their trouble with pleasure on the day of their downfall, or put your hands on their goods on the day of their downfall.
bbe@Obadiah:1:14 @And do not take your place at the cross-roads, cutting off those of his people who get away; and do not give up to their haters those who are still there in the day of trouble.
bbe@Obadiah:1:18 @And the children of Jacob will be a fire and those of Joseph a flame, and the children of Esau dry stems of grass, burned up by them till all is gone: and there will be no people living in Esau; for the Lord has said it.
bbe@Jonah:1:6 @And the ship's captain came to him and said to him, What are you doing sleeping? Up! say a prayer to your God, if by chance God will give a thought to us, so that we may not come to destruction.
bbe@Jonah:1:7 @And they said to one another, Come, let us put this to the decision of chance and see on whose account this evil has come on us. So they did so, and Jonah was seen to be the man.
bbe@Jonah:1:8 @Then they said to him, Now make clear to us what is your work, and where you come from? what is your country, and who are your people?
bbe@Jonah:1:10 @And the men were in great fear, and they said to him, What is this you have done? For the men had knowledge of his flight from the Lord because he had not kept it from them.
bbe@Jonah:1:13 @And the men were working hard to get back to the land, but they were not able to do so: for the sea got rougher and rougher against them.
bbe@Jonah:1:14 @So, crying to the Lord, they said, Give ear to our prayer, O Lord, give ear, and do not let destruction overtake us because of this man's life; do not put on us the sin of taking life without cause: for you, O Lord, have done what seemed good to you.
bbe@Jonah:1:15 @So they took Jonah up and put him into the sea: and the sea was no longer angry.
bbe@Jonah:3:3 @So Jonah got up and went to Nineveh as the Lord had said. Now Nineveh was a very great town, three days' journey from end to end.
bbe@Jonah:3:7 @And he had it given out in Nineveh, By the order of the king and his great men, no man or beast, herd or flock, is to have a taste of anything; let them have no food or water:
bbe@Jonah:3:9 @Who may say that God will not be turned, changing his purpose and turning away from his burning wrath, so that destruction may not overtake us?
bbe@Jonah:3:10 @And God saw what they did, how they were turned from their evil way; and God's purpose was changed as to the evil which he said he would do to them, and he did it not
bbe@Jonah:4:2 @And he made prayer to the Lord and said, O Lord, is this not what I said when I was still in my country? This is why I took care to go in flight to Tarshish: for I was certain that you were a loving God, full of pity, slow to be angry and great in mercy, and ready to be turned from your purpose of evil.
bbe@Jonah:4:3 @So now, O Lord, give ear to my prayer and take my life from me; for death is better for me than life.
bbe@Jonah:4:10 @And the Lord said, You had pity on the vine, for which you did no work and for the growth of which you were not responsible; which came up in a night and came to an end in a night;
bbe@Jonah:4:11 @And am I not to have mercy on Nineveh, that great town, in which there are more than a hundred and twenty thousand persons without the power of judging between right and left, as well as much cattle?
bbe@Micah:1:5 @All this is because of the wrongdoing of Jacob and the sins of the children of Israel. What is the wrongdoing of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and what are the high places of Judah? are they not Jerusalem?
bbe@Micah:1:9 @For her wounds may not be made well: for it has come even to Judah, stretching up to the doorway of my people, even to Jerusalem.
bbe@Micah:1:10 @Give no word of it in Gath, let there be no weeping at all: at Beth-le-aphrah be rolling in the dust.
bbe@Micah:1:11 @Be uncovered and go away, you who are living in Shaphir: the one living in Zaanan has not come out of her town; Beth-ezel is taken away from its base, even from its resting-place.
bbe@Micah:1:15 @Even now will the taker of your heritage come to you, you who are living in Mareshah: the glory of Israel will come to destruction for ever.
bbe@Micah:2:3 @For this cause the Lord has said, See, against this family I am purposing an evil from which you will not be able to take your necks away, and you will be weighted down by it; for it is an evil time.
bbe@Micah:2:4 @In that day this saying will be said about you, and this song of grief will be made: The heritage of my people is measured out, and there is no one to give it back; those who have made us prisoners have taken our fields from us, and complete destruction has come to us.
bbe@Micah:2:5 @For this cause you will have no one to make the decision by the measuring line in the meeting of the Lord.
bbe@Micah:2:6 @Let not words like these be dropped, they say: Shame and the curse will not come to the family of Jacob!
bbe@Micah:2:7 @Is the Lord quickly made angry? are these his doings? do not his words do good to his people Israel?
bbe@Micah:2:10 @Up! and go; for this is not your rest: because it has been made unclean, the destruction ordered will come on you.
bbe@Micah:2:12 @I will certainly make all of you, O Jacob, come together; I will get together the rest of Israel; I will put them together like the sheep in their circle: like a flock in their green field; they will be full of the noise of men.
bbe@Micah:3:1 @And I said, Give ear, now, you heads of Jacob and rulers of the people of Israel: is it not for you to have knowledge of what is right?
bbe@Micah:3:4 @Then they will be crying to the Lord for help, but he will not give them an answer: yes, he will keep his face veiled from them at that time, because their acts have been evil.
bbe@Micah:3:5 @This is what the Lord has said about the prophets by whom my people have been turned from the right way; who, biting with their teeth, say, Peace; and if anyone puts nothing in their mouths they make ready for war against him.
bbe@Micah:3:6 @For this cause it will be night for you, without a vision; and it will be dark for you, without knowledge of the future; the sun will go down over the prophets, and the day will be black over them.
bbe@Micah:3:7 @And the seers will be shamed, and the readers of the future will be at a loss, all of them covering their lips; for there is no answer from God.
bbe@Micah:3:11 @Its heads take rewards for judging, and the priests take payment for teaching, and the prophets get silver for reading the future: but still, supporting themselves on the Lord, they say, Is not the Lord among us? no evil will overtake us.
bbe@Micah:4:2 @And a number of nations will go and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will give us knowledge of his ways and we will be guided by his word: for from Zion the law will go out, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
bbe@Micah:4:3 @And he will be judge between great peoples, and strong nations far away will be ruled by his decisions; their swords will be hammered into plough-blades and their spears into vine-knives: nations will no longer be lifting up their swords against one another, and knowledge of war will have gone for ever.
bbe@Micah:4:4 @But every man will be seated under his vine and under his fig-tree, and no one will be a cause of fear to them: for the mouth of the Lord of armies has said it.
bbe@Micah:4:7 @And I will make her whose steps were uncertain a small band, and her who was feeble a strong nation: and the Lord will be their King in Mount Zion from now and for ever.
bbe@Micah:4:9 @Now why are you crying so loudly? is there no king in you? has destruction come on your wise helper? so that pains have taken you like the pains of a woman in childbirth:
bbe@Micah:4:10 @Be in pain, make sounds of grief, O daughter of Zion, like a woman in childbirth: for now you will go out of the town, living in the open country, and will come even to Babylon; there you will have salvation; there the Lord will make you free from the hands of your haters
bbe@Micah:4:11 @And now a number of nations have come together against you, and they say, Let her be made unclean and let our eyes see the fate of Zion.
bbe@Micah:4:12 @But they have no knowledge of the thoughts of the Lord, their minds are not able to see his purpose: for he has got them together like stems of grain to the crushing-floor.
bbe@Micah:5:1 @Now you will give yourselves deep wounds for grief; they will put up a wall round us: they will give the judge of Israel a blow on the face with a rod.
bbe@Micah:5:4 @And he will take his place and give food to his flock in the strength of the Lord, in the glory of the name of the Lord his God; and their resting-place will be safe: for now he will be great to the ends of the earth.
bbe@Micah:5:7 @And the rest of Jacob will be among the mass of peoples like dew from the Lord, like showers on the grass, which may not be kept back by man, or be waiting for the sons of men.
bbe@Micah:5:8 @And the rest of Jacob will be among the nations, in the middle of the mass of peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the woods, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep: if he goes through, they will be crushed under foot and pulled to bits, and there will be no saviour.
bbe@Micah:5:12 @I will put an end to your use of secret arts, and you will have no more readers of signs:
bbe@Micah:5:13 @And I will have your images and your pillars cut off from you; and you will no longer give worship to the work of your hands.
bbe@Micah:5:15 @And my punishment will be effected on the nations with such burning wrath as they have not had word of.
bbe@Micah:6:1 @Give ear now to the words of the Lord: Up! put forward your cause before the mountains, let your voice be sounding among the hills.
bbe@Micah:6:2 @Give ear, O you mountains, to the Lord's cause, and take note, you bases of the earth: for the Lord has a cause against his people, and he will take it up with Israel.
bbe@Micah:6:5 @O my people, keep in mind now what was designed by Balak, king of Moab, and the answer which Balaam, son of Beor, gave him; the events, from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may be certain of the upright acts of the Lord.
bbe@Micah:6:12 @For its men of wealth are cruel, and its people have said what is not true, and their tongue is false in their mouth.
bbe@Micah:6:14 @You will have food, but not enough; your shame will be ever with you: you will get your goods moved, but you will not take them away safely; and what you do take away I will give to the sword
bbe@Micah:6:15 @You will put in seed, but you will not get in the grain; you will be crushing olives, but your bodies will not be rubbed with the oil; and you will get in the grapes, but you will have no wine.
bbe@Micah:7:1 @Sorrow is mine! for I am as when they have got in the summer fruits, like the last of the grapes: there is nothing for food, not even an early fig for my desire.
bbe@Micah:7:2 @The good man is gone from the earth, there is no one upright among men: they are all waiting secretly for blood, every man is going after his brother with a net.
bbe@Micah:7:4 @The best of them is like a waste plant, and their upright ones are like a wall of thorns. Sorrow! the day of their fate has come; now will trouble come on them.
bbe@Micah:7:5 @Put no faith in a friend, do not let your hope be placed in a relation: keep watch on the doors of your mouth against her who is resting on your breast.
bbe@Micah:7:8 @Do not be glad because of my sorrow, O my hater: after my fall I will be lifted up; when I am seated in the dark, the Lord will be a light to me.
bbe@Micah:7:10 @And my hater will see it and be covered with shame; she who said to me, Where is the Lord your God? my eyes will see their desire effected on her, now she will be crushed under foot like the dust of the streets.
bbe@Micah:7:18 @Who is a God like you, offering forgiveness for evil-doing and overlooking the sins of the rest of his heritage? he does not keep his wrath for ever, because his delight is in mercy.
bbe@Nahum:1:2 @The Lord is a God who takes care of his honour and gives punishment for wrong; the Lord gives punishment and is angry; the Lord sends punishment on those who are against him, being angry with his haters.
bbe@Nahum:1:3 @The Lord is slow to get angry and great in power, and will not let the sinner go without punishment: the way of the Lord is in the wind and the storm, and the clouds are the dust of his feet.
bbe@Nahum:1:4 @He says sharp words to the sea and makes it dry, drying up all the rivers: Bashan is feeble, and Carmel, and the flower of Lebanon is without strength.
bbe@Nahum:1:7 @The Lord is good, a strong place in the day of trouble; and he has knowledge of those who take him for their safe cover.
bbe@Nahum:1:9 @What are you designing against the Lord? he will put an end to it: his haters will not come up again a second time.
bbe@Nahum:1:11 @One has gone out from you who is designing evil against the Lord, whose purposes are of no value.
bbe@Nahum:1:12 @This is what the Lord has said: The days of my cause against you are ended; they are cut off and past. Though I have sent trouble on you, you will no longer be troubled.
bbe@Nahum:1:13 @And now I will let his yoke be broken off you, and your chains be parted.
bbe@Nahum:1:14 @The Lord has given an order about you, that no more of your name are to be planted: from the house of your gods I will have the pictured and metal images cut off; I will make your last resting-place a place of shame; for you are completely evil.
bbe@Nahum:1:15 @See on the mountains the feet of him who comes with good news, giving word of peace! Keep your feasts, O Judah, give effect to your oaths: for the good-for-nothing man will never again go through you; he is completely cut off.
bbe@Nahum:2:4 @The war-carriages are rushing through the streets, pushing against one another in the wide ways, looking like burning lights, running like thunder-flames.
bbe@Nahum:2:8 @But Nineveh is like a pool of water whose waters are flowing away; Keep your place, they say; but no one is turning back.
bbe@Nahum:2:9 @Take silver, take gold; for there is no end to the store; take for yourselves a weight of things to be desired.
bbe@Nahum:2:10 @Everything has been taken from her, all is gone, she has nothing more: the heart is turned to water, the knees are shaking, all are twisted in pain, and colour has gone from all faces.
bbe@Nahum:2:12 @Food enough for his young and for his she-lions was pulled down by the lion; his hole was full of flesh and his resting-place stored with meat.
bbe@Nahum:2:13 @See, I am against you, says the Lord of armies, and I will have your war-carriages burned in the smoke, and your young lions will be food for the sword: you will no longer get your food by force on the earth, and the voice of your she-lions will be stopped for ever.
bbe@Nahum:3:1 @A curse is on the town of blood; it is full of deceit and violent acts; and there is no end to the taking of life.
bbe@Nahum:3:2 @The noise of the whip, and the noise of thundering wheels; horses rushing and war-carriages jumping,
bbe@Nahum:3:8 @Are you better than No-amon, seated on the Nile streams, with waters all round her; whose wall was the sea and her earthwork the waters?
bbe@Nahum:3:10 @But even she has been taken away, she has gone away as a prisoner: even her young children are smashed to bits at the top of all the streets: the fate of her honoured men is put to the decision of chance, and all her great men are put in chains
bbe@Nahum:3:17 @Your crowned ones are like the locusts, and your scribes like the clouds of insects which take cover in the walls on a cold day, but when the sun comes up they go in flight, and are seen no longer in their place.
bbe@Nahum:3:18 @Sorrow! how are the keepers of your flock sleeping, O king of Assyria! your strong men are at rest; your people are wandering on the mountains, and there is no one to get them together.
bbe@Nahum:3:19 @Your pain may not be made better; you are wounded to death: all those hearing the news about you will be waving their hands in joy over you: for who has not undergone the weight of your evil-doing again and again?
bbe@Habakkuk:1:2 @How long, O Lord, will your ears be shut to my voice? I make an outcry to you about violent behaviour, but you do not send salvation.
bbe@Habakkuk:1:4 @For this reason the law is feeble and decisions are not effected: for the upright man is circled round by evil-doers; because of which right is twisted.
bbe@Habakkuk:1:5 @See among the nations, and take note, and be full of wonder: for in your days I am doing a work in which you will have no belief, even if news of it is given to you.![[pBiblx2]](/img/menu.png)
