mkjv@Hosea:1:1 @ The Word of the LORD 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.

mkjv@Hosea:1:2 @ The beginning of the LORD speaking by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take to yourself a wife of adultery and children of adultery. For the land has utterly gone lusting away from the LORD.

mkjv@Hosea:1:3 @ So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Diblaim, who conceived and bore him a son.

mkjv@Hosea:1:4 @ And the LORD said to him, Call his name God Will Sow. For still [in] a little [while], and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel on the house of Jehu, and will cause the kingdom of the house of Israel to cease.

mkjv@Hosea:1:5 @ And it shall be, at that day I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of Jezreel.

mkjv@Hosea:1:6 @ And she conceived again and bore a daughter. And [God] said to him, Call her name No-mercy, for I will no more have mercy [on] the house of Israel. But I will utterly take them away.

mkjv@Hosea:1:7 @ But I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and will save them by the LORD their God, and will not save them by bow, nor by sword, nor by battle, by horses, nor by horsemen.

mkjv@Hosea:1:8 @ And when she had weaned No-mercy she conceived and bore a son.

mkjv@Hosea:1:9 @ And He said, Call his name Not-my-people. For you [are] not My people, and I will not be for you.

mkjv@Hosea:1:10 @ Yet the number of the sons of Israel shall be as the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured nor numbered. And it shall be, in the place where it was said to them, You [are] not My people, there it shall be said to them, [You are the sons of the living God.

mkjv@Hosea:1:11 @ Then the sons of Judah and the sons of Israel shall be gathered together, and shall set over themselves one head, and they shall come up out of the land. For great [shall be] the day of Jezreel.

mkjv@Hosea:2:1 @ Say to your brothers, A People; and to your sisters, Mercy.

mkjv@Hosea:2:2 @ Contend! Contend with your mother, for she [is] not my wife, nor am I her husband. Let her therefore put away her fornications out of her sight, and her adulteries from between her breasts,

mkjv@Hosea:2:3 @ lest I strip her naked and set her out as in the day that she was born; and lest I make her as the wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst.

mkjv@Hosea:2:4 @ And I will not have mercy on her sons, for they [are] the sons of adulteries.

mkjv@Hosea:2:5 @ For their mother has prostituted [herself]. She who conceived them has done shamefully. For she said, I will go after my lovers who give my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, my oil and my drink.

mkjv@Hosea:2:6 @ Therefore behold, I will hedge your way with thorns, and wall up her wall, that she shall not find her paths.

mkjv@Hosea:2:7 @ And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them. She shall seek them, but shall not find [them]. Then she shall say, I will go and return to my first husband, for then [it was] better with me than now.

mkjv@Hosea:2:8 @ For she did not know that I gave her grain, and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver and gold, [which] they prepared for Baal.

mkjv@Hosea:2:9 @ So I will return and take away My grain in its time, and my wine in its season, and will recover my wool and my flax [given] to cover her nakedness.

mkjv@Hosea:2:10 @ And now I will uncover her shamefulness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of my hand.

mkjv@Hosea:2:11 @ I will also cause all her joy to cease, her feast days, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her appointed feasts.

mkjv@Hosea:2:12 @ And I will destroy her vines and her fig trees, of which she has said, They [are] my rewards that my lovers have given me. And I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.

mkjv@Hosea:2:13 @ And I will visit on her the days of the Baals, in which she burned incense to them, and she adorned herself with her nose-rings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers and forgot Me, says the LORD.

mkjv@Hosea:2:14 @ Therefore, behold, I will lure her and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably to her.

mkjv@Hosea:2:15 @ And I will give her vineyards to her from there, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope. And she shall sing there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.

mkjv@Hosea:2:16 @ And it shall be at that day, says the LORD, you shall call Me, My Husband, and shall no more call Me, My Baal.

mkjv@Hosea:2:17 @ For I will take away the names of the Baals out of her mouth, and they will no more be remembered by their name.

mkjv@Hosea:2:18 @ And in that day I will cut a covenant for them, with the beasts of the field, and with the birds of the heavens, and [with] the creeping things of the ground. And I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the earth, and will make them to lie down safely.

mkjv@Hosea:2:19 @ And I will betroth you to Me forever. Yea, I will betroth you to Me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in loving-kindness, and in mercies.

mkjv@Hosea:2:20 @ I will even betroth you to Me in faithfulness. And you shall know the LORD.

mkjv@Hosea:2:21 @ And it will be, in that day I will answer, says the LORD. I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth,

mkjv@Hosea:2:22 @ and the earth shall hear the grain and the wine and the oil. And they shall hear Jezreel.

mkjv@Hosea:2:23 @ And I will sow her to Me in the earth. And I will have mercy on No-mercy. And I will say to Not-my-people, You are My people. And they shall say, My God.

mkjv@Hosea:3:1 @ And the LORD said to me, Go again. Love a woman beloved by a friend, yet an adulteress, according to the love of the LORD toward the sons of Israel, who turn to other gods, and love raisin-cakes of grapes.

mkjv@Hosea:3:2 @ So I bought her to me for fifteen [pieces of] silver, and [for] a homer of barley and a half homer of barley.

mkjv@Hosea:3:3 @ And I said to her, You shall abide for me many days. You shall not be a harlot, nor be for a man. And I also [will be] for you.

mkjv@Hosea:3:4 @ For the sons of Israel shall live many days [with] no king, and no ruler, and with no sacrifice, and no pillars, and no ephod, or teraphim.

mkjv@Hosea:3:5 @ Afterward the sons of Israel shall return and seek the LORD their God and David their king. And they shall fear the LORD and His goodness in the ends of the days.

mkjv@Hosea:4:1 @ Hear the Word of the LORD, sons of Israel. For the LORD [has] a quarrel with the people of the land, because there is no truth, nor mercy, nor knowledge of God in the land.

mkjv@Hosea:4:2 @ There is lying, and swearing, and killing, and stealing, and the committing of adultery; and blood touches blood.

mkjv@Hosea:4:3 @ Therefore the land shall mourn, and everyone who dwells in it shall droop, with the beasts of the field and with the birds of the heavens. Yes, the fish of the sea shall also be taken away.

mkjv@Hosea:4:4 @ Yet let no man strive, nor reprove another. For your people [are] as those who strive with the priest.

mkjv@Hosea:4:5 @ And you shall stumble in the day, and the prophet also shall stumble with you [in the] night, and I will cut off your mother.

mkjv@Hosea:4:6 @ My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you from being priest to Me. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your sons, even I.

mkjv@Hosea:4:7 @ As they were increased, so they sinned against Me. I will change their glory into shame.

mkjv@Hosea:4:8 @ They eat up the sin of My people, and they set their heart on their iniquity.

mkjv@Hosea:4:9 @ And it has become, Like people, like priest; and I will punish them for their ways, and reward them for their doings.

mkjv@Hosea:4:10 @ For they shall eat and not have enough. They shall fornicate and not increase, because they have stopped taking heed to the LORD.

mkjv@Hosea:4:11 @ Fornication and wine and new wine take away the heart.

mkjv@Hosea:4:12 @ My people seek advice from their wooden [idols], and their rod declares to them. For the spirit of harlotry has caused them to go astray, and they have gone lusting away from under their God.

mkjv@Hosea:4:13 @ They sacrifice on the tops of the mountains, and burn incense on the hills, under oaks and poplars and elms, because its shade is good. So your daughters shall be harlots, and your brides shall commit adultery.

mkjv@Hosea:4:14 @ I will not punish your daughters when they fornicate, nor your wives when they commit adultery. For the men themselves go aside with harlots, and they sacrifice with temple prostitutes. The people [who] do not understand are thrown down.

mkjv@Hosea:4:15 @ Though you, Israel, fornicate, yet do not let Judah become guilty. And do not come [to] Gilgal, nor go up to Beth-aven, nor swear, [As] the LORD lives.

mkjv@Hosea:4:16 @ For Israel slides back like a backsliding heifer. Now the LORD will feed them as a lamb in a large place.

mkjv@Hosea:4:17 @ Ephraim [is] joined to idols; let him alone.

mkjv@Hosea:4:18 @ Their drink is sour; they are continually fornicating; her rulers dearly love shame.

mkjv@Hosea:4:19 @ The wind has bound her up in her wings, and they shall be ashamed because of their sacrifices.

mkjv@Hosea:5:1 @ Hear this, O priests, and listen, house of Israel. And give ear, house of the king. For judgment [is] toward you, because you have been a snare on Mizpah and a net spread on Tabor.

mkjv@Hosea:5:2 @ And revolters have gone deep [in] slaughtering, and I chasten all of them.

mkjv@Hosea:5:3 @ I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me. For now, O Ephraim, you have fornicated; Israel is defiled.

mkjv@Hosea:5:4 @ Their doings will not allow [them] to turn to their God; for the spirit of fornication [is] in their midst, and they have not known the LORD.

mkjv@Hosea:5:5 @ And the pride of Israel testifies to his face. So Israel and Ephraim shall fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.

mkjv@Hosea:5:6 @ They shall go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they shall not find Him. He has withdrawn Himself from them.

mkjv@Hosea:5:7 @ They have acted treacherously against the LORD, for they have brought out strange sons. Now a new moon shall devour them with their portions.

mkjv@Hosea:5:8 @ Blow the horn in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah; cry aloud at Beth-aven, after you, O Benjamin.

mkjv@Hosea:5:9 @ Ephraim shall be desolate in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel I have made known that which is confirmed.

mkjv@Hosea:5:10 @ The rulers of Judah were like movers of a border; I will pour out My wrath on them like water.

mkjv@Hosea:5:11 @ Ephraim [is] crushed and broken in judgment, because he willingly walked after the commandment.

mkjv@Hosea:5:12 @ Therefore I [am] as a moth to Ephraim, and to the house of Judah as rottenness.

mkjv@Hosea:5:13 @ When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah saw his wound, then Ephraim went to the Assyrian and sent to king Jareb. Yet he could not heal you nor cure you of your wound.

mkjv@Hosea:5:14 @ For I [will be] to Ephraim as a lion, and as a strong lion to the house of Judah. I, [even] I, will tear and go away. I will take away, and none shall rescue him.

mkjv@Hosea:5:15 @ I will go; I will return to My place until they confess their guilt and seek My face; in their affliction they will seek Me diligently.

mkjv@Hosea:6:1 @ Come and let us return to the LORD. For He has torn, and He will heal us; He has stricken, and He will bind us up.

mkjv@Hosea:6:2 @ After two days He will bring us to life; in the third day He will raise us up, and we shall live in His sight.

mkjv@Hosea:6:3 @ Then we shall know, [if] we follow on to know the LORD. His going out is prepared as the morning; and He shall come to us as the rain, as the latter [and] former rain to the earth.

mkjv@Hosea:6:4 @ O Ephraim, what shall I do to you? O Judah, what shall I do to you? For your goodness [is] like a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goes away.

mkjv@Hosea:6:5 @ So I have cut [them] down by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of My mouth. And your judgments [were as] the light that goes out.

mkjv@Hosea:6:6 @ For I desired mercy and not sacrifice, and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

mkjv@Hosea:6:7 @ But, like Adam, they have broken the covenant. They have acted like traitors against Me there.

mkjv@Hosea:6:8 @ Gilead [is] a city of trouble-makers, slippery with blood marks.

mkjv@Hosea:6:9 @ And as troops of robbers wait for a man, the company of priests murder [in] the way of Shechem; for they committed wickedness.

mkjv@Hosea:6:10 @ I have seen a horrible thing in the house of Israel; the harlotry of Ephraim [is] there; Israel is defiled.

mkjv@Hosea:6:11 @ Also, O Judah, a harvest is appointed to you, when I return the captivity of My people.

mkjv@Hosea:7:1 @ When I would have healed Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim was uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria. For they have worked falsehood. And the thief comes in, the troop of robbers plunders outside.

mkjv@Hosea:7:2 @ And they do not say within their hearts that I remember all their evil. Now their own doings have hemmed them in; they are before My face.

mkjv@Hosea:7:3 @ They make the king glad with their evil, and the rulers with their lies.

mkjv@Hosea:7:4 @ They [are] all adulterers, like an oven heated by the baker; he stops stirring, from kneading the dough, while it is leavened.

mkjv@Hosea:7:5 @ [In] the day of our king, the rulers have sickened themselves [with] the heat of wine. He stretches out his hand with scorners.

mkjv@Hosea:7:6 @ For they have brought their heart near like an oven, while they lie in wait. Their baker sleeps at night; in the morning it burns like a flaming fire.

mkjv@Hosea:7:7 @ They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges. All their kings have fallen; there is none among them who calls to Me.

mkjv@Hosea:7:8 @ Ephraim mixed himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned.

mkjv@Hosea:7:9 @ Strangers have eaten up his strength, and he does not know. Yea, gray hairs are here and there on him, yet he knows it not.

mkjv@Hosea:7:10 @ And the pride of Israel testifies to his face. And they do not return to the LORD their God, nor seek Him in all this.

mkjv@Hosea:7:11 @ Ephraim also is like a silly dove without heart; they call [to] Egypt; they go [to] Assyria.

mkjv@Hosea:7:12 @ When they go, I will spread My net on them; I will bring them down like the birds of the heavens; I will chastise them, as a report to their congregation.

mkjv@Hosea:7:13 @ Woe to them! For they have fled from Me. Ruin to them! Because they have sinned against Me. Though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against Me.

mkjv@Hosea:7:14 @ And they have not cried to Me with their heart, when they howled on their beds; they gather themselves for grain and wine, and they rebel against Me.

mkjv@Hosea:7:15 @ Though I have bound and strengthened their arms, yet they think evil against Me.

mkjv@Hosea:7:16 @ They return, but not to the [Most] High. They are like a deceitful bow; their rulers shall fall by the sword from the rage of their tongue. This [shall be] their scorn in the land of Egypt.

mkjv@Hosea:8:1 @ Put a trumpet to your mouth. [He comes] like an eagle against the house of the LORD, because they have broken My covenant and have sinned against My law.

mkjv@Hosea:8:2 @ Israel shall cry to Me, My God, we know You.

mkjv@Hosea:8:3 @ Israel has thrown off good; the enemy shall pursue him.

mkjv@Hosea:8:4 @ They have set up kings, but not by Me; they have made rulers, and I knew it not. They have made themselves idols [with] their silver and their gold, so that they may be cut off.

mkjv@Hosea:8:5 @ Your calf, O Samaria, has cast [you] off. My anger is kindled against them. Until when will they not attain purity?

mkjv@Hosea:8:6 @ For from Israel it [came] also. The craftsman made it, but [it is] not God. For the calf of Samaria shall be splinters.

mkjv@Hosea:8:7 @ For they sow the wind, and they reap the whirlwind. It has no stalk; the bud shall yield no meal; if it does yield, strangers shall swallow it up.

mkjv@Hosea:8:8 @ Israel is swallowed up; now they shall be among the nations as a vessel in which there is no pleasure.

mkjv@Hosea:8:9 @ For they have gone up to Assyria, a wild ass alone by himself. Ephraim has hired lovers.

mkjv@Hosea:8:10 @ Yea, though they have hired among the nations, now I will gather them. And they began to be few, from the burden of the king of rulers.

mkjv@Hosea:8:11 @ Because Ephraim has made many altars to sin, altars shall be to him to sin.

mkjv@Hosea:8:12 @ I have written to him the great things of My law, but they were counted as a strange thing.

mkjv@Hosea:8:13 @ They sacrifice flesh [for] the sacrifices of My offerings, and eat it; but the LORD does not receive them. Now He will remember their iniquity and punish their sins. They shall return [to] Egypt.

mkjv@Hosea:8:14 @ For Israel has forgotten his Maker, and builds temples. And Judah has multiplied cities. But I will send a fire on his cities, and it shall burn up her palaces.

mkjv@Hosea:9:1 @ O Israel, rejoice not for joy, like the peoples. For you have gone lusting away from your God; you have loved a reward on every grain floor.

mkjv@Hosea:9:2 @ The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail in her.

mkjv@Hosea:9:3 @ They shall not dwell in the LORD's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and they shall eat unclean things in Assyria.

mkjv@Hosea:9:4 @ They shall not pour wine to the LORD, nor shall they be pleasing to Him. Their sacrifices [shall be] like the bread of sorrows to them; all who eat of them shall be defiled. For their bread is for their soul, it shall not come into the house of the LORD.

mkjv@Hosea:9:5 @ What will you do in the day of meeting, and in the day of the feast of the LORD?

mkjv@Hosea:9:6 @ For lo, they have left because of destruction. Egypt shall gather them up; Memphis shall bury them. Nettles shall possess the desirable things of their silver; thorns [shall be] in their tents.

mkjv@Hosea:9:7 @ The days of her judgment have come; the days of vengeance have come; Israel shall know it. The prophet is a fool, the spiritual man [is] insane, because of the greatness of your iniquity and the great hatred.

mkjv@Hosea:9:8 @ The watchman of Ephraim [was] with my God. The prophet [is] a snare of a fowler in all his ways, [and] hatred in the house of his God.

mkjv@Hosea:9:9 @ They have deeply corrupted, as [in] days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity; He will punish their sins.

mkjv@Hosea:9:10 @ I found Israel like grapes in the wilderness. I saw your fathers as the first-fruit in the fig tree at her first time. But they went [to] Baal-peor and set themselves apart to a shameful thing; and they became abominable like that which they loved.

mkjv@Hosea:9:11 @ Ephraim is like a bird; their glory shall fly away from birth, and from the womb, and from conception.

mkjv@Hosea:9:12 @ Though they bring up their sons, yet I will make them childless, without a man. Yea, woe also to them when I depart from them!

mkjv@Hosea:9:13 @ Ephraim, when I looked toward Tyre, was planted in a pleasant place. But Ephraim shall bring out his sons to the murderer.

mkjv@Hosea:9:14 @ Give them, O Lord; what will You give? Give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.

mkjv@Hosea:9:15 @ All their wickedness [is] in Gilgal, for there I hated them. I will drive them out of My house for the wickedness of their doings. I will love them no more; all their rulers [are] revolters.

mkjv@Hosea:9:16 @ Ephraim is stricken; their root is dried up; they shall bear no fruit. Yea, though they bear, yet I will slay the beloved ones of their womb.

mkjv@Hosea:9:17 @ My God shall cast them away because they did not listen to Him. And they shall be wanderers among the nations.

mkjv@Hosea:10:1 @ Israel [is] an luxuriant vine; he brings out fruit to himself. According to the multitude of his fruit, he has increased the altars. They have made beautiful images according to the goodness of his land.

mkjv@Hosea:10:2 @ Their heart is divided; now they shall be guilty. He shall break down their altars, and He shall spoil their images.

mkjv@Hosea:10:3 @ For now they shall say, We have no king because we did not fear the LORD; what then should a king do to us?

mkjv@Hosea:10:4 @ They have spoken words, swearing falsely in making a covenant. So judgment springs up like hemlock in the furrows of the field.

mkjv@Hosea:10:5 @ Because of the calves of Beth-aven, the people of Samaria shall dread. For its people shall mourn over it, and its priest rejoiced on it for its glory, because it has departed from it.

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

mkjv@Hosea:10:7 @ As for Samaria, her king is cut off as a bough on the water.

mkjv@Hosea:10:8 @ Also the high places of Aven, the sin of Israel, shall be destroyed. The thorn and the thistle shall come up on their altars; and they shall say to the mountains, Cover us, and to the hills, Fall on us.

mkjv@Hosea:10:9 @ O Israel, you have sinned from the days of Gibeah. There they stood; the battle against the sons of iniquity did not overtake them in Gibeah.

mkjv@Hosea:10:10 @ When I desire, I shall bind them; and the peoples shall be gathered against them, when they shall bind themselves to their two perversities.

mkjv@Hosea:10:11 @ And Ephraim [is] like a trained heifer, trying to tread out. But I passed over on the goodness of her neck. I will make Ephraim to ride; Judah shall plow, and Jacob shall break his clods.

mkjv@Hosea:10:12 @ Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground. For [it is] time to seek the LORD, until He comes and rains righteousness on you.

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

mkjv@Hosea:10:14 @ And an uproar shall arise among your peoples, and all your fortresses shall be spoiled, as the ruin [of] Beth-arbel by Shalman in the day of battle. The mother was dashed in pieces on [her] sons.

mkjv@Hosea:10:15 @ So He does to you, Bethel, because of your great evil. In a morning the king of Israel shall be utterly cut off.

mkjv@Hosea:11:1 @ When Israel [was] a child, then I loved him and called My son out of Egypt.

mkjv@Hosea:11:2 @ As they called them, so they went from them. They sacrifice to the Baals, and burn incense to graven images.

mkjv@Hosea:11:3 @ I also taught Ephraim to go; He took them on His arm. But they did not know that I healed them.

mkjv@Hosea:11:4 @ I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love; and I was to them as those who take off the yoke on their jaws, and I gently give food to him.

mkjv@Hosea:11:5 @ He shall not return to the land of Egypt, but the Assyrian [shall be] his king, because they refused to return.

mkjv@Hosea:11:6 @ And the sword shall remain on his cities, and shall destroy his branches, and devour them, because of their own counsels.

mkjv@Hosea:11:7 @ And My people are bent on backsliding from Me. Though they called them to the Most High, none at all would exalt [Him].

mkjv@Hosea:11:8 @ How shall I give you up, Ephraim? How shall I deliver you, Israel? How shall I make you like Admah? How shall I set you as Zeboim? My heart is turned within Me; My compassions are kindled together.

mkjv@Hosea:11:9 @ I will not carry out the heat of My anger; I will not return to destroy Ephraim. For I [am] God and not man, the Holy One in your midst; and I will not enter into the city.

mkjv@Hosea:11:10 @ They shall walk after the LORD; He shall roar like a lion. When He shall roar, then the sons shall tremble from the west.

mkjv@Hosea:11:11 @ They shall tremble like a bird out of Egypt, and like a dove out of the land of Assyria. And I will place them in their houses, says the LORD.

mkjv@Hosea:11:12 @ Ephraim [circles] around Me with lying, and the house of Israel with deceit. But Judah still rules with God, and is faithful with the saints.

mkjv@Hosea:12:1 @ Ephraim feeds on wind and follows after the east wind. He daily multiplies lies and cruelty. And they make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.

mkjv@Hosea:12:2 @ The LORD also has a quarrel with Judah and will punish Jacob according to his ways; according to his doings He will repay him.

mkjv@Hosea:12:3 @ He took his brother by the heel in the womb, and by his strength he had power with God.

mkjv@Hosea:12:4 @ Yes, he wept and cried to Him, and he had power over the Angel and overcame. He found him [in] Bethel, and there He spoke with us,

mkjv@Hosea:12:5 @ even the LORD God of hosts. Jehovah [is] his memorial.

mkjv@Hosea:12:6 @ Therefore turn to your God; keep mercy and judgment, and wait on your God forever.

mkjv@Hosea:12:7 @ He [is] a merchant; the scales of deceit [are] in his hand; he loves to oppress.

mkjv@Hosea:12:8 @ And Ephraim said, Yet I have become rich, I have found much wealth for myself. [In] all my labors they shall find in me no iniquity that is sin.

mkjv@Hosea:12:9 @ And I the LORD, who have been your God from the land of Egypt, will yet make you to dwell in tents as in the days of the appointed feast.

mkjv@Hosea:12:10 @ I have also spoken by the prophets, and I have multiplied visions and have used parables by the hand of the prophets.

mkjv@Hosea:12:11 @ [Is there] iniquity in Gilead? Surely they are vanity; they sacrifice bulls in Gilgal. Yes, their altars [are] as heaps in the furrows of the fields.

mkjv@Hosea:12:12 @ And Jacob fled into the country of Syria, and Israel served for a wife, and for a wife he kept watch.

mkjv@Hosea:12:13 @ And by a prophet the LORD brought Israel out of Egypt, and by a prophet he was kept safe.

mkjv@Hosea:12:14 @ Ephraim provoked [Me] to anger most bitterly; therefore he shall leave his blood on him, and his Lord shall turn his reproach to him.

mkjv@Hosea:13:1 @ When Ephraim spoke trembling, he was lifted up in Israel; but when he offended in Baal, he died.

mkjv@Hosea:13:2 @ And now they sin more and more, and have made themselves a molten image of their silver, and idols according to their own understanding, all of it the work of the craftsmen. They say of them, Let the men who sacrifice kiss the calves.

mkjv@Hosea:13:3 @ Therefore they shall be as the morning cloud and as the early dew that passes away, as the chaff storm-driven out of the floor, and as the smoke out of the chimney.

mkjv@Hosea:13:4 @ Yet I [am] the LORD your God from the land of Egypt, and you shall know no God but Me. For there is no Savior besides Me.

mkjv@Hosea:13:5 @ I have known you in the wilderness, in the land of great dryness.

mkjv@Hosea:13:6 @ According to their pasture, so were they filled. They were filled and their heart was lifted up. Therefore they have forgotten Me.

mkjv@Hosea:13:7 @ Therefore I will be as a lion to them; as a leopard by the way I will watch them.

mkjv@Hosea:13:8 @ I will meet them like a bereaved bear, and will tear the lining of their heart. And there I will devour them like a lion; the wild beast shall tear them.

mkjv@Hosea:13:9 @ O Israel, you have destroyed yourself; but in Me [is] your help.

mkjv@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 rulers?

mkjv@Hosea:13:11 @ I gave you a king in My anger, and took [him] away in My wrath.

mkjv@Hosea:13:12 @ The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin hidden.

mkjv@Hosea:13:13 @ The pains of a woman in travail shall come to him. He [is] an unwise son; for he cannot stand still in the time of the breaking forth of sons.

mkjv@Hosea:13:14 @ I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death. O Death, where [are] your plagues; O Grave, where [is] your ruin! Repentance shall be hidden from My eyes.

mkjv@Hosea:13:15 @ Though he is fruitful among his brothers, an east wind shall come. The wind of the LORD shall come up from the wilderness, and his spring shall be ashamed, and his fountain shall be dried up. He shall plunder the treasure of all desirable vessels.

mkjv@Hosea:13:16 @ Samaria shall become a waste, for she has rebelled against her God. They shall fall by the sword. Their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their pregnant women shall be ripped up.

mkjv@Hosea:14:1 @ O Israel, return to the LORD your God, for you have fallen by your iniquity.

mkjv@Hosea:14:2 @ Take with you words, and turn to the LORD. Say to Him, Take away all iniquity, and receive [us] graciously, that we may repay [with] the calves of our lips.

mkjv@Hosea:14:3 @ Assyria shall not save us; we will not ride on horses. Nor shall we say any more to the work of our hands, Our gods, for in You the fatherless finds mercy.

mkjv@Hosea:14:4 @ I will heal their backslidings; I will love them freely; for My anger has turned away from him.

mkjv@Hosea:14:5 @ I will be as the dew to Israel; he shall grow as the lily and cast out his roots like Lebanon.

mkjv@Hosea:14:6 @ His branches shall spread, and his beauty shall be as the olive tree, and his smell as Lebanon.

mkjv@Hosea:14:7 @ They who dwell under his shadow shall return; they shall revive like the grain, and grow like the vine. Their scent [shall be] as the wine of Lebanon.

mkjv@Hosea:14:8 @ Ephraim [shall say], What [have] I to do any more with idols? I have heard [him] and watched him; I [am] like a green fir tree. Your fruit is found from Me.

mkjv@Hosea:14:9 @ Who [is] wise, and he shall understand these things? Understanding, and he shall know them? For the ways of the LORD are right, and the just shall walk in them; but sinners shall fall in them.

mkjv@Joel:1:1 @ The Word of the LORD that came to Joel, the son of Pethuel.

mkjv@Joel:1:2 @ Hear this, you old men, and give ear, all dwellers of the land. Has this been in your days or even in the days of your fathers?

mkjv@Joel:1:3 @ Tell your sons of it, and let your sons tell their sons, and their sons another generation.

mkjv@Joel:1:4 @ That which the creeping locust has left, the swarming locust has eaten. And that which the swarming locust has left, the locust larvae has eaten. And that which the locust larvae has left, the stripping locust has eaten.

mkjv@Joel:1:5 @ Awake, drunkards, and weep; and howl, all drinkers of wine, because of the new wine; for it is cut off from your mouth.

mkjv@Joel:1:6 @ For a nation has come up on My land, strong and without number, whose teeth [are] the teeth of a lion, and he has the jaw teeth of a lioness.

mkjv@Joel:1:7 @ He has laid My vine waste and splintered My fig tree. He has stripped it and cast [it] away; its branches grow white.

mkjv@Joel:1:8 @ Weep like a virgin clothed with sackcloth for the husband of her youth.

mkjv@Joel:1:9 @ The food offering and the drink offering are cut off from the house of the LORD; the priests, the LORD's ministers, mourn.

mkjv@Joel:1:10 @ The field is wasted; the land mourns, for the grain is wasted. The new wine is dried up; the oil tree droops.

mkjv@Joel:1:11 @ Be ashamed, husbandmen; howl, vinedressers, for the wheat and for the barley; because the harvest of the field has perished.

mkjv@Joel:1:12 @ The vine is dried up, and the fig tree droops, [the] pomegranate and the palm tree, and the apple tree; all the trees of the field are dried up, because joy has dried up from the sons of men.

mkjv@Joel:1:13 @ Gird up and lament, priests; howl, ministers of the altar. Come, spend the night in sackcloth, ministers of my God. For the food offering and the drink offering are held back from the house of your God.

mkjv@Joel:1:14 @ Set apart a fast; call a solemn gathering; gather the elders and all the people of the land [into] the house of the LORD your God, and cry to the Lord,

mkjv@Joel:1:15 @ Alas for the day! For the day of the LORD [is] at hand, and it shall come as a ruin from the Almighty.

mkjv@Joel:1:16 @ Is not the food cut off before our eyes, and joy and gladness from the house of our God?

mkjv@Joel:1:17 @ The seed is rotten under their clods; the storage bins are laid waste; the barns are broken down, for the grain has dried up.

mkjv@Joel:1:18 @ How the beasts groan! The herds of cattle are troubled because they [have] no pasture. Yes, the flocks of sheep are destroyed.

mkjv@Joel:1:19 @ O LORD, to You will I cry; for the fire has burned up the pastures of the wilderness, and the flame has burned all the trees of the field.

mkjv@Joel:1:20 @ The beasts of the field also cry to You; for the rivers of water are dried up, and the fire has burned up the pastures of the wilderness.

mkjv@Joel:2:1 @ Blow a ram's horn in Zion, and sound an alarm in My holy mountain; let all the inhabitants of the land tremble. For the day of the LORD comes, for [it is] near at hand;

mkjv@Joel:2:2 @ a day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of clouds and of thick darkness, as the morning spread on the mountains; a great people and a strong people; there has not been ever the like, nor shall there ever be again, even to the years of many generations.

mkjv@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 nothing shall escape them.

mkjv@Joel:2:4 @ As the appearance of horses [is] its appearance; and as war horses, so they run.

mkjv@Joel:2:5 @ They shall leap like the noise of chariots on the tops of mountains, like the noise of a flame of fire that devours the stubble, like a strong people set in battle order.

mkjv@Joel:2:6 @ Before their face the people shall be much pained; all faces shall gather blackness.

mkjv@Joel:2:7 @ They shall run like mighty ones. They shall climb the wall like men of war, and they shall march each one on his way, and they shall not break their ranks.

mkjv@Joel:2:8 @ And each one shall not press his brother; they [each] go in his paths. And [if] they fall behind their weapons, they shall not be cut off.

mkjv@Joel:2:9 @ They shall rush on the city; they shall run on the wall; they shall climb up on the houses; they shall enter in at the windows like a thief.

mkjv@Joel:2:10 @ The earth shall tremble before them; the heavens shall shake. The sun and the moon shall grow dark, and the stars shall gather in their light.

mkjv@Joel:2:11 @ And the LORD shall utter His voice before His army; for His camp [is] very great; for strong [is He] who does His Word. For the day of the LORD [is] great and very terrible; and who can stand it?

mkjv@Joel:2:12 @ Yet even now, says the LORD, turn to Me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.

mkjv@Joel:2:13 @ Yes, tear your heart and not your robes, and turn to the LORD your God: for He [is] gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and He pities because of the evil.

mkjv@Joel:2:14 @ Who knows [if] He will turn and have pity and leave a blessing behind Him, a food offering and a drink offering to the LORD your God?

mkjv@Joel:2:15 @ Blow a trumpet in Zion, sanctify a fast, call a solemn gathering.

mkjv@Joel:2:16 @ Gather the people, sanctify the congregation, gather the elders, gather the children and those who suck the breasts. Let the bridegroom go forth out of his chamber, and the bride out of her room.

mkjv@Joel:2:17 @ Let the priests, the ministers of the LORD, weep between the porch and the altar, and let them say, Have pity on Your people, O LORD, and give not Your inheritance to shame, for a proverb among those of the nations. Why should they say among the people, Where [is] their God?

mkjv@Joel:2:18 @ Then the LORD will be jealous for His land and pity His people.

mkjv@Joel:2:19 @ Yes, the LORD will answer and say to His people, Behold, I will send you grain, and wine, and oil, and you shall be satisfied with it. And I will no more make you a curse among the nations.

mkjv@Joel:2:20 @ But I will remove the northern army far from you, and will drive him into a barren and deserted land, with his face toward the eastern sea and his rear toward the western sea. And his stench shall come up, and his ill odor shall come up, because he was doing great things.

mkjv@Joel:2:21 @ Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice. For the LORD will do great things.

mkjv@Joel:2:22 @ Do not be afraid, beasts of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness grow green; for the tree bears its fruit, and the fig tree and the vine yield their strength.

mkjv@Joel:2:23 @ Be glad then, sons of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God. For He has given you the former rain according to righteousness, and He will cause the rain to come down for you, the former rain and the latter rain in the first [month].

mkjv@Joel:2:24 @ And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.

mkjv@Joel:2:25 @ And I will restore to you the years which the swarming locust has eaten, the locust larvae, and the stripping locust, and the cutting locust, My great army which I sent among you.

mkjv@Joel:2:26 @ And you shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God, who has dealt with you wonderfully; and My people shall never be ashamed.

mkjv@Joel:2:27 @ And you shall know that I [am] in the midst of Israel, and that I [am] the LORD your God, and no one else; and My people shall never be ashamed.

mkjv@Joel:2:28 @ And it shall be afterward, I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh. And your sons and your daughters shall prophesy; your old men shall dream dreams; your young men shall see visions.

mkjv@Joel:2:29 @ And also I will pour out My Spirit on the slaves and on the slave women in those days.

mkjv@Joel:2:30 @ And I will show wonders in the heavens, and in the earth, blood and fire and pillars of smoke.

mkjv@Joel:2:31 @ The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the coming of the great and awesome day of the LORD.

mkjv@Joel:2:32 @ And it shall be, whoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be saved; for salvation shall be in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, as the LORD has said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.

mkjv@Joel:3:1 @ For, behold, in those days and in that time, [when] I will bring again the exiles of Judah and Jerusalem,

mkjv@Joel:3:2 @ I will also gather all nations and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat. And I will fight with them there for My people and for My inheritance Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and divided My land.

mkjv@Joel:3:3 @ And they have cast lots for My people, and have given a boy for a prostitute, and sold a girl for wine, so that they might drink.

mkjv@Joel:3:4 @ Yea, and what [have] you to do with Me, O Tyre and Sidon, and all the borders of Philistia? [Will you] give Me a reward? And if you reward Me, swiftly and speedily I will turn your reward on your own head,

mkjv@Joel:3:5 @ because you have taken My silver and My gold, and have carried My good treasures into your temples.

mkjv@Joel:3:6 @ You have also sold the sons of Judah and the sons of Jerusalem to the sons of the Greeks, that you might remove them far from their border.

mkjv@Joel:3:7 @ Behold, I [am] rising them out of the place where you have sold them, and will turn your reward on your own head.

mkjv@Joel:3:8 @ And I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hand of the sons of Judah, and they shall sell them to the Sabeans, to a people far off; for the LORD has spoken it.

mkjv@Joel:3:9 @ Proclaim this among the nations: Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up.

mkjv@Joel:3:10 @ Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, I [am] strong.

mkjv@Joel:3:11 @ Gather yourselves and come, all you nations, and gather yourselves together all around; cause Your mighty ones to come down there, O LORD.

mkjv@Joel:3:12 @ Let the nations be awakened and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat; for there I will sit to judge all the nations all around.

mkjv@Joel:3:13 @ Put in the sickle, for the harvest is ripe. Come, come down; for the press is full; the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great.

mkjv@Joel:3:14 @ Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision; for the day of the LORD [is] near in the valley of decision!

mkjv@Joel:3:15 @ The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall gather in their light.

mkjv@Joel:3:16 @ The LORD shall also roar out of Zion and utter His voice from Jerusalem. And the heavens and the earth shall shake. But the LORD [will be] the hope of His people and the strength of the sons of Israel.

mkjv@Joel:3:17 @ So you shall know that I [am] the LORD your God dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain. And Jerusalem shall be a holy thing, and no aliens shall pass through her any more.

mkjv@Joel:3:18 @ And it shall be, in that day the mountains shall drop down new wine, and the hills shall flow [with] milk, and all the rivers of Judah shall flow [with] waters; and a fountain shall come forth from the house of the LORD, and shall water the valley of Shittim.

mkjv@Joel:3:19 @ Egypt shall be a ruin, and Edom shall be a desolate wilderness, from violence [done] to the sons of Judah, whose innocent blood they poured out in their land.

mkjv@Joel:3:20 @ But Judah will dwell forever, and Jerusalem to generation and generation.

mkjv@Joel:3:21 @ And I will cleanse their blood [which] I did not cleanse; and the LORD is dwelling in Zion.

mkjv@Amos:1:1 @ The words of Amos, who was among the herdsmen of Tekoa; the word which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake.

mkjv@Amos:1:2 @ And he said, The LORD will roar from Zion and utter His voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds shall mourn, and the top of Carmel shall dry up.

mkjv@Amos:1:3 @ So says the LORD: For three transgressions of Damascus, yea for four, I will not turn away [from] it; because they have threshed Gilead with threshing instruments of iron.

mkjv@Amos:1:4 @ But I will send a fire into the house of Hazael, which shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.

mkjv@Amos:1:5 @ I will also break the bar of Damascus, and cut off the dweller from the Valley of Aven, and from him who holds the scepter from the house of Eden. And the people of Syria shall go into captivity to Kir, says the LORD.

mkjv@Amos:1:6 @ So says the LORD: For three transgressions of Gaza, yea for four, I will not turn away [from] it; because they deported [as] exiles to deliver up a complete [population] to Edom.

mkjv@Amos:1:7 @ But I will send a fire on the wall of Gaza, which shall devour its palaces.

mkjv@Amos:1:8 @ And I will cut off the people from Ashdod, and him who holds the scepter from Ashkelon, and I will turn My hand against Ekron. And the rest of the Philistines shall perish, says the Lord God.

mkjv@Amos:1:9 @ So says the LORD: For three transgressions of Tyre, yea for four, I will not turn away [from] it. Because they delivered up [as] exiles a complete [population] to Edom, and did not remember the brotherly covenant.

mkjv@Amos:1:10 @ But I will send a fire upon the wall of Tyre, which shall devour its palaces.

mkjv@Amos:1:11 @ So says the LORD: For three transgressions of Edom, yea for four, I will not turn away [from] it. Because he pursued his brother with the sword, and cast off all pities, and his anger tore without end, and he kept his wrath forever.

mkjv@Amos:1:12 @ But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.

mkjv@Amos:1:13 @ So says the LORD: For three transgressions of the sons of Ammon, yea for four, I will not turn away [from] it. Because they have ripped up the pregnant women of Gilead, to make their own border larger.

mkjv@Amos:1:14 @ But I will kindle a fire in the wall of Rabbah, and it shall devour its palaces with shouting in the day of battle, with a tempest in the day of the whirlwind.

mkjv@Amos:1:15 @ And their king shall go into captivity, he and his princes together, says the LORD.

mkjv@Amos:2:1 @ So says the LORD: For three transgressions of Moab, yea for four, I will not turn away [from] it; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime.

mkjv@Amos:2:2 @ But I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth. And Moab shall die with great noise, with shouting, with the sound of a trumpet.

mkjv@Amos:2:3 @ And I will cut off the judge from its midst, and will kill all its rulers with him, says the LORD.

mkjv@Amos:2:4 @ So says the LORD: For three transgressions of Judah, yea for four, I will not turn away [from] it; because they have despised the laws of the LORD, and have not kept His commandments. And their lies after which their fathers walked led them astray.

mkjv@Amos:2:5 @ But I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.

mkjv@Amos:2:6 @ So says the LORD: For three transgressions of Israel, yea for four, I will not turn away [from] it; because they sold the righteous for silver, and the poor for a pair of sandals;

mkjv@Amos:2:7 @ panting after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turning aside the way of the meek. And a man and his father will go [in] to the same woman, to defile My holy name.

mkjv@Amos:2:8 @ And they will stretch beside every altar on garments taken in pledge, and they drink the wine of the condemned [in] the house of their god.

mkjv@Amos:2:9 @ Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height [was] like the height of the cedars, and he [was] strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above and his roots from below.

mkjv@Amos:2:10 @ Also I brought you up from the land of Egypt and led you forty years through the wilderness to possess the land of the Amorite.

mkjv@Amos:2:11 @ And I raised up prophets from your sons and Nazarites from your young men. [Is it] not even so, O sons of Israel? says the LORD.

mkjv@Amos:2:12 @ But you gave the Nazarites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, Do not prophesy.

mkjv@Amos:2:13 @ Behold, I am pressed under you, as a cart full of sheaves [is] pressed.

mkjv@Amos:2:14 @ And refuge shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his power, nor shall the mighty deliver his life;

mkjv@Amos:2:15 @ nor shall he who handles the bow stand. And the swift-footed shall not save; and the horse rider shall not save his life.

mkjv@Amos:2:16 @ And the stout-hearted among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, says the LORD.

mkjv@Amos:3:1 @ Hear this Word that the LORD has spoken against you, sons of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up from the land of Egypt, saying,

mkjv@Amos:3:2 @ You only have I known of all the families of the earth; therefore I will punish you [for] all your iniquities.

mkjv@Amos:3:3 @ Can two walk together unless they are agreed?

mkjv@Amos:3:4 @ Will a lion roar in the forest when he has no prey for him? Will a young lion cry out of his den unless he has caught?

mkjv@Amos:3:5 @ Will a bird fall into a trap [on] the ground, and there is no bait for it? Will a trap spring up from the ground, and nothing at all be caught?

mkjv@Amos:3:6 @ If a ram's horn is blown in a city, will the people not also tremble? If there is a calamity in a city, has the LORD not also done it?

mkjv@Amos:3:7 @ For the Lord Jehovah will do nothing unless He reveals His secret to His servants the prophets.

mkjv@Amos:3:8 @ The lion has roared; who will not fear? The Lord Jehovah has spoken; who will not prophesy?

mkjv@Amos:3:9 @ Make [it] heard at the palaces of Ashdod, and the palaces in the land of Egypt, and say: Gather yourselves on the mountains of Samaria, and behold the great uproars in its midst, and the oppressed in its midst.

mkjv@Amos:3:10 @ For they do not know to do right, says the LORD, those who store up violence and robbery in their palaces.

mkjv@Amos:3:11 @ So the Lord Jehovah says this: An enemy! And he [shall be] all around the land; and he shall bring you down from your strength, and your palaces shall be plundered.

mkjv@Amos:3:12 @ So says the LORD: As the shepherd takes two legs out of the mouth of the lion, or a piece of an ear; so shall the sons of Israel be taken out, those who dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and in Damascus [on] a couch.

mkjv@Amos:3:13 @ Hear and testify in the house of Jacob, says the Lord Jehovah, the God of hosts,

mkjv@Amos:3:14 @ for in the day that I shall visit the transgressions of Israel on him, I will also visit the altars of Bethel. And the horns of the altar shall be cut off and shall fall to the ground.

mkjv@Amos:3:15 @ And I will strike the winter house together with the summer house, and the houses of ivory shall perish. And the great houses shall be swept away, says the LORD.

mkjv@Amos:4:1 @ Hear this word, cows of Bashan who [are] in the mountain of Samaria; who press down the poor, who crush the needy, who say to their masters, Bring in, that we may drink.

mkjv@Amos:4:2 @ The Lord Jehovah has sworn by His holiness that the days shall come on you that He will lift you up with meat hooks, and your sons with fishhooks.

mkjv@Amos:4:3 @ And you shall go out at the breaches, each woman straight before her. And you shall cast down the high place, says the LORD.

mkjv@Amos:4:4 @ Come to Bethel and transgress; to Gilgal and multiply transgressing [at] Gilgal. And bring your sacrifices for the morning, your tithes for three years;

mkjv@Amos:4:5 @ and offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving from that [which is] leavened, and cry out; call out the voluntary offerings! For so you love [to do], O sons of Israel, says the Lord Jehovah.

mkjv@Amos:4:6 @ And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in all your places, and you have not returned to Me, says the LORD.

mkjv@Amos:4:7 @ And I have also withheld the rain from you, when [there were] yet three months to the harvest. And I caused rain to fall on one city and caused it not to rain on another city; one piece was rained on, and the piece on which it did not rain dried up.

mkjv@Amos:4:8 @ So two [or] three cities wandered to one city to drink water, but they were not satisfied; yet you have not returned to Me, says the LORD.

mkjv@Amos:4:9 @ I have stricken you with blasting and mildew. When your gardens and your vineyards, and your fig trees. and your olive trees increased, the creeping locust devoured them; yet you have not returned to Me, says the LORD.

mkjv@Amos:4:10 @ I have sent the plague among you in the way of Egypt; I have slain your young men with the sword, and have taken away your horses. And I have made the stench of your camps to come up into your nostrils; yet you have not returned to Me, says the LORD.

mkjv@Amos:4:11 @ I have overthrown some among you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and you were like a firebrand plucked out of the burning; yet you have not returned to Me, says the LORD.

mkjv@Amos:4:12 @ So I will do this to you, O Israel; because I will do this to you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.

mkjv@Amos:4:13 @ For lo, He forms the mountains and creates the wind, and declares to man what his thought [is]. He who makes the morning darkness, and treads on the high places of the earth; the LORD, the God of hosts, [is] His name.

mkjv@Amos:5:1 @ Hear this word which I take up against you, a dirge, O house of Israel.

mkjv@Amos:5:2 @ The virgin of Israel has fallen; she shall rise no more; she lies forsaken on her land. There is none to raise her up.

mkjv@Amos:5:3 @ For thus says the Lord Jehovah: The city that went out [by] a thousand shall leave a hundred, and that which went out [by] a hundred shall have ten left in the house of Israel.

mkjv@Amos:5:4 @ For so says the LORD to the house of Israel: Seek Me, and you shall live.

mkjv@Amos:5:5 @ But do not seek Bethel nor enter into Gilgal, and do not pass to Beer-sheba; for Gilgal shall surely go into exile, and Bethel shall come to nothing.

mkjv@Amos:5:6 @ Seek the LORD, and you shall live; lest He break out like a fire [on] the house of Joseph and devour it, and there be none to put it out in Bethel.

mkjv@Amos:5:7 @ You who turn judgment to wormwood and leave off righteousness [in] the earth,

mkjv@Amos:5:8 @ seek Him who created the Pleiades and Orion, and who turned the deep darkness into the morning and He darkened the day [into] night. Seek Him who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth; the LORD is] His name;

mkjv@Amos:5:9 @ who causes destruction to flash out against the strong, and destruction comes against the fortress

mkjv@Amos:5:10 @ They hate him who rebukes in the gate, and they despise him who speaks uprightly.

mkjv@Amos:5:11 @ So, because of your trampling on the poor, and you take tribute of grain from him; you have built houses of carved stone, but you shall not dwell in them; you have planted desirable vineyards, but you shall not drink wine from them.

mkjv@Amos:5:12 @ For I know your many transgressions and your many sins. They afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate.

mkjv@Amos:5:13 @ So the understanding ones shall keep silent in that time; for it [is] an evil time.

mkjv@Amos:5:14 @ Seek good and not evil, that you may live; and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as you have spoken.

mkjv@Amos:5:15 @ Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate. It may be that the Lord Jehovah of hosts will be gracious [to] the remnant of Joseph.

mkjv@Amos:5:16 @ So the LORD, the God of hosts, the Master, says this: Wailing [shall be] in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! Alas! And they shall call the tiller to mourning, and those who are skillful in mourning to wailing.

mkjv@Amos:5:17 @ And there [shall be] wailing in all vineyards; for I will pass through you, says the LORD.

mkjv@Amos:5:18 @ Woe to those desiring the day of the LORD! What [is] this for you? The day of the LORD [is] darkness and not light;

mkjv@Amos:5:19 @ as [if] a man fled from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house and leaned his hand on the wall, and a snake bit him.

mkjv@Amos:5:20 @ [Shall] not the day of the LORD [be] darkness and not light? Even very dark, and no brightness in it?

mkjv@Amos:5:21 @ I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not delight in your solemn assemblies.

mkjv@Amos:5:22 @ Though you offer Me burnt offerings and your food offerings, I will not be pleased. Nor will I regard the peace offerings of your fat animals.

mkjv@Amos:5:23 @ Take the noise of your songs away from Me; for I will not hear the melody of your stringed instruments.

mkjv@Amos:5:24 @ But let judgment roll down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.

mkjv@Amos:5:25 @ Have you offered sacrifices and offerings to Me forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?

mkjv@Amos:5:26 @ But you have carried the booth of your king and Kiyyun, your images, the star of your gods which you made for yourselves.

mkjv@Amos:5:27 @ So I will cause you to go into exile beyond Damascus, says the LORD, the God of hosts [is] His name.

mkjv@Amos:6:1 @ Woe to those at ease in Zion, and trust in the mountain of Samaria, who are noted [as] leader of the nations. And the house of Israel came to them.

mkjv@Amos:6:2 @ Pass to Calneh, and see; and from there go to Hamath the great. Then go down to Gath of the Philistines. [Are they] better than these kingdoms, or their border greater than your border?

mkjv@Amos:6:3 @ You who put the evil day far away, and cause the seat of violence to come near;

mkjv@Amos:6:4 @ who lie on beds of ivory, and those sprawling on their couches, and eat lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the stall;

mkjv@Amos:6:5 @ who chant with the mouth of the harp; they invent instruments of music for themselves, like David;

mkjv@Amos:6:7 @ So now they shall go into exile with the first of the exiles. And the feast of those who stretch themselves shall cease.

mkjv@Amos:6:8 @ The Lord Jehovah has sworn by Himself, says the LORD, the God of hosts: I despise the glory of Jacob, and hate his palaces; and I will shut up the city and all its fullness.

mkjv@Amos:6:9 @ And it shall be if ten men remain in one house, then they shall die.

mkjv@Amos:6:10 @ And a man's uncle shall take him up, and he who burns him, to bring out the bones out of the house, and shall say to [him] left in the recesses of the house, Are any still with you? And he shall say, No. Then he shall say, Hush! For not one shall mention the name of Jehovah.

mkjv@Amos:6:11 @ For, behold, the LORD commands, and He will strike the great house into pieces, and the little house [into] cracks.

mkjv@Amos:6:12 @ Shall horses run on the rock? Will one plow [there] with oxen? For you have turned justice into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into hemlock;

mkjv@Amos:6:13 @ you who rejoice in nothing, who say, Have we not taken horns to ourselves by our own strength?

mkjv@Amos:6:14 @ But behold, I will raise a nation up against you, O house of Israel, says the Lord, the God of hosts. And they shall oppress you from the entrance to Hamath to the torrent of the Arabah.

mkjv@Amos:7:1 @ The Lord Jehovah made me see this: And behold, He is forming locusts at the beginning of the coming up of the late grass; even behold, the late grass after the king's mowings.

mkjv@Amos:7:2 @ And it happened when it had made an end of eating the tender plant of the land, then I said, O Lord Jehovah, forgive, I pray You. How can Jacob stand? For he [is] small.

mkjv@Amos:7:3 @ The LORD repented for this; it shall not be, says the LORD.

mkjv@Amos:7:4 @ The Lord Jehovah made me see this: And behold, the Lord Jehovah was calling to contend by fire. And it consumed the great deep, and [it was] devouring part of it.

mkjv@Amos:7:5 @ Then I said, O Lord Jehovah, I pray You, cease. How can Jacob stand? For he [is] small.

mkjv@Amos:7:6 @ The LORD repented for this; this also shall not be, says the Lord Jehovah.

mkjv@Amos:7:7 @ He made me see this: And behold, the Lord was standing by the plumbline-wall, and a plumbline in His hand.

mkjv@Amos:7:8 @ And the LORD said to me, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A plumbline. Then the Lord said, Behold, I will set a plumbline in the midst of My people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.

mkjv@Amos:7:9 @ And the high places of Isaac shall be wasted, and the holy places of Israel shall be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.

mkjv@Amos:7:10 @ Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos has plotted against you in the midst of the house of Israel; the land is not able to bear all his words.

mkjv@Amos:7:11 @ For so Amos says: Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall surely go into exile out of his land.

mkjv@Amos:7:12 @ And Amaziah said to Amos, O seer, go, flee for yourself into the land of Judah; and eat bread there, and prophesy there.

mkjv@Amos:7:13 @ But do not prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king's temple, and it [is] the king's royal house.

mkjv@Amos:7:14 @ Then Amos answered and said to Amaziah: I [was] no prophet, nor [was] I a prophet's son. But I [was] a herdsman and a gatherer [from] sycamore trees.

mkjv@Amos:7:15 @ And the LORD took me from behind the flock, and the LORD said to me, Go, prophesy to My people Israel.

mkjv@Amos:7:16 @ Now then hear the Word of the LORD. You say, Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not drop [words] against the house of Isaac.

mkjv@Amos:7:17 @ So the LORD says this: Your wife shall be a harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line. And you shall die in a defiled land; and Israel shall surely go into exile out of his land.

mkjv@Amos:8:1 @ The Lord Jehovah made me see this: And behold, a basket of summer fruit!

mkjv@Amos:8:2 @ And He said, Amos, what do you see? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then the LORD said to me, The end has come to My people Israel: I will never pass by them any more.

mkjv@Amos:8:3 @ And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, says the Lord Jehovah. The dead bodies [shall be] many. In every place one shall throw [them] out, saying, Hush!

mkjv@Amos:8:4 @ Hear this, you who trample the poor, even to make the humble of the land to fail,

mkjv@Amos:8:5 @ saying, When will the new moon be gone so that we may sell grain? And the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small and the shekel great, and perverting the balances by deceit;

mkjv@Amos:8:6 @ that we may buy the poor for silver and the needy for a pair of sandals; and sell the chaff of the wheat?

mkjv@Amos:8:7 @ The LORD has sworn by the Glory of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.

mkjv@Amos:8:8 @ Shall not the land tremble for this, and all who dwell in it mourn? And all of it shall rise up like the light. And it shall overflow and sink like the Nile of Egypt.

mkjv@Amos:8:9 @ And it shall be in that day, says the Lord Jehovah, I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the light of day.

mkjv@Amos:8:10 @ And I will turn your feast into mourning, and all your songs into weeping; and I will bring up sackcloth on all loins, and baldness on every head. And I will make it like the mourning of an only son, and the end of it like a bitter day.

mkjv@Amos:8:11 @ Behold, the days come, says the Lord Jehovah, 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 the LORD.

mkjv@Amos:8:12 @ And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east; they shall run to and fro to seek the Word of the LORD, and shall not find [it].

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

mkjv@Amos:8:14 @ They who swear by the sin of Samaria and say, [As] your God lives, O Dan; and, [As] the way of Beer-sheba lives; even they shall fall and never rise up again.

mkjv@Amos:9:1 @ I saw the Lord standing by the altar. And He said, Strike the capital of the door, so that the thresholds shall shake; and break them on the head of all of them. And I will kill the last of them with the sword. Not one of them fleeing will flee, and not a fugitive of them will escape.

mkjv@Amos:9:2 @ If they dig into hell, there My hand shall take them. And if they go up to the heavens, I will bring them down from there.

mkjv@Amos:9:3 @ And if they hide themselves in the top of Carmel, I will search and take them out from there. And if they are hidden from My sight in the bottom of the sea, I will command the serpent there, and he shall bite them.

mkjv@Amos:9:4 @ And if they go into captivity before their enemies, I will command the sword there, and it shall kill them; and I will set My eyes on them for evil, and not for good.

mkjv@Amos:9:5 @ And the Lord Jehovah of hosts [is] He who touches the land, and it shall melt, and all who dwell in it shall mourn. And all of it shall rise up like the Nile, and sink down like the Nile of Egypt.

mkjv@Amos:9:6 @ [It is] He who builds His staircase in the heavens, and He has founded the [heavens] on the earth; He who calls for the waters of the sea, and pours them out on the face of the earth; the LORD [is] His name.

mkjv@Amos:9:7 @ Are you not like sons of the Ethiopians to Me, O sons of Israel, says the LORD? Have I not brought Israel up out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir?

mkjv@Amos:9:8 @ Behold, the eyes of the Lord Jehovah [are] on the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from the face of the earth; except that I will not completely destroy the house of Jacob, says the LORD.

mkjv@Amos:9:9 @ For lo, I will command, and I will shake the house of Israel among all the nations, as one shakes with a sieve, yet not a grain shall fall [to] the earth.

mkjv@Amos:9:10 @ All the sinners of My people shall die by the sword, who say, The evil shall not draw near, or come in front about us.

mkjv@Amos:9:11 @ In that day I will raise up the booth of David that has fallen, and close up its breaks; and I will raise up its ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old;

mkjv@Amos:9:12 @ so that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the nations [on] whom My name is called, says the LORD who is doing this.

mkjv@Amos:9:13 @ Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that the plowman and the reaper shall draw near, the treader of grapes, and he who draws along the seed. And the mountains will drip must, and all the hills will be dissolved.

mkjv@Amos:9:14 @ And I will turn back the captivity of My people Israel, and they shall build the cities which are desolate, and they shall live [in] them. And they shall plant vineyards and drink their wine. They shall also make gardens and eat their fruit.

mkjv@Amos:9:15 @ And I will plant them on their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, says the LORD your God.

mkjv@Obadiah:1:1 @ The vision of Obadiah. So says the Lord God concerning Edom: We have heard a message from the LORD, and a messenger is sent among the nations: Rise up, even let us rise up against her for battle.

mkjv@Obadiah:1:4 @ Though you rise high like the eagle, and though [you] set your nest between the stars, I will bring you down from there, says the LORD.

mkjv@Obadiah:1:5 @ If thieves came to you, if destroyers by night (how you have been cut off!), would they not have stolen until they had enough? If the grape-gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleanings?

mkjv@Obadiah:1:6 @ How Esau is searched out! His hidden things are sought out!

mkjv@Obadiah:1:7 @ All the men of your covenant have dismissed you to the border; the men who were at peace with you have deceived you, [and] have overcome you. They are setting your bread as a snare under you; [there is] no understanding in them.

mkjv@Obadiah:1:8 @ Shall I not in that day even destroy the wise out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau, says the LORD?

mkjv@Obadiah:1:9 @ And your mighty ones, O] Teman, shall be afraid, so that each man from the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.

mkjv@Obadiah:1:10 @ Shame shall cover you from the violence against your brother Jacob, and you shall be cut off forever.

mkjv@Obadiah:1:11 @ On the day of your standing on the other [side], on the day that the strangers were capturing his force, and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem, even you [were] like one of them.

mkjv@Obadiah:1:12 @ But you should not have looked on the day of your brother on the day of his alienation; nor should you have rejoiced over the sons of Judah in the day of their ruin; nor should you have enlarged your mouth in the day of distress.

mkjv@Obadiah:1:13 @ You should not have entered into the gate of My people in the day of their calamity; also, you should not have looked on his evil in the day of their calamity. Nor should you have sent out against his force in the day of his calamity.

mkjv@Obadiah:1:14 @ Nor should you have stood on the crossways to cut off those of him who escaped; nor should you have shut up his survivors in the day of distress.

mkjv@Obadiah:1:15 @ For the day of the LORD [is] near on all the nations; as you have done, it shall be done to you. Your reward shall return upon your head.

mkjv@Obadiah:1:16 @ For as you have drunk upon My holy mountain, [so] all the nations shall drink forever. Yes, they shall drink, and they shall swallow, and they shall be as [though] they had not been.

mkjv@Obadiah:1:17 @ But upon Mount Zion shall be those who escaped; and it shall be holy. And the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.

mkjv@Obadiah:1:18 @ And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame. And the house of Esau [shall be] for stubble. And they shall kindle in them and burn them up. And no survivor shall be to the house of Esau; for the LORD has spoken it.

mkjv@Obadiah:1:19 @ And [those of] the south shall possess the mountain of Esau and the low country of the Philistines. And they shall possess the fields of Ephraim and the fields of Samaria; and Benjamin [shall possess] Gilead.

mkjv@Obadiah:1:20 @ And the exiles of this army [shall go] to the sons of Israel who shall possess [the land] of the Canaanites to Zarephath; even the exiles of Jerusalem who [are] in Sepharad shall possess the cities of the south.

mkjv@Obadiah:1:21 @ And deliverers shall go up into the mountain of Zion to judge the mountain of Esau; and the kingdom shall be to the LORD.

mkjv@Jonah:1:1 @ And the Word of Jehovah came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,

mkjv@Jonah:1:2 @ Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their evil has come up before Me.

mkjv@Jonah:1:3 @ But Jonah rose up to flee to Tarshish from the presence of Jehovah. And he went down to Joppa. And he found a ship going to Tarshish. And he gave its fare, and went down into it, in order to go with them to Tarshish, away from the sight of Jehovah.

mkjv@Jonah:1:4 @ But Jehovah hurled a great wind into the sea, and there was a great storm in the sea, so that the ship [was] thought to be broken.

mkjv@Jonah:1:5 @ Then the seamen were afraid, and each man cried to his god. And they threw out the [ship's] articles in the ship, into the sea in order to lighten [it]. But Jonah had gone down into the hold of the ship; and he lay there, and was fast asleep.

mkjv@Jonah:1:6 @ And the chief of the seaman came to him and said to him, What [is it] to you, O sound sleeper? Arise, call upon your God! It may be that our god will notice us, and we will not perish.

mkjv@Jonah:1:7 @ And they said, each one to his fellow, Come and let us cast lots, so that we may know who has caused this evil [to occur] to us. And they cast lots, and the lot fell on Jonah.

mkjv@Jonah:1:8 @ Then they said to him, Please tell us, for what reason this evil [has come] on us. What is your business? And where do you come from? Where [is] your country? And of what people [are] you?

mkjv@Jonah:1:9 @ And he said to them, I [am] a Hebrew; and I fear Jehovah, the God of heaven, who has made the sea and the dry land.

mkjv@Jonah:1:10 @ Then the men were afraid [with] a great fear. And they said to him, What is this you have done? For the men knew that he was fleeing from before the face of Jehovah, because he had told them.

mkjv@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 was going on and being stormy.

mkjv@Jonah:1:12 @ And he said to them, Take me up and throw me out into the sea. And the sea shall be calm to you; for I know that this great storm [has come] on you for my sake.

mkjv@Jonah:1:13 @ But the men rowed hard to bring it to the land; but they could not, for the sea was going on and being stormy against them.

mkjv@Jonah:1:14 @ And they cried to Jehovah and said, We beg You, O Jehovah, we beg You, let us not perish for this man's life, and do not lay on us innocent blood. For You, O Jehovah, have done as it pleased You.

mkjv@Jonah:1:15 @ And they lifted Jonah up and threw him out into the sea; and the sea ceased from its raging.

mkjv@Jonah:1:16 @ Then the men feared Jehovah exceedingly, and offered a sacrifice to Jehovah, and vowed vows.

mkjv@Jonah:1:17 @ And Jehovah had prepared a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights.

mkjv@Jonah:2:1 @ And Jonah prayed to Jehovah his God out of the fish's belly,

mkjv@Jonah:2:2 @ and he said, I cried to Jehovah from my distress. And He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried for help, [and] You heard my voice.

mkjv@Jonah:2:3 @ For You cast me [into the] depths of the seas, and the current surrounded me. All Your breakers and Your waves passed over me.

mkjv@Jonah:2:4 @ Then I said, I am cast off from Your eyes, yet I will look again toward Your holy temple.

mkjv@Jonah:2:5 @ Waters encompassed me, [even] to the soul; the depth closed around me; the seaweed was bound to my head.

mkjv@Jonah:2:6 @ I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with her bars was around me forever; yet You have brought up my life from the pit, O Jehovah my God.

mkjv@Jonah:2:7 @ When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Jehovah; and my prayer came in to You, into Your holy temple.

mkjv@Jonah:2:8 @ They who take heed to lying vanities forsake their kindness;

mkjv@Jonah:2:9 @ but I will sacrifice to You with the voice of thanksgiving; I will fulfill that which I have vowed. Salvation [belongs] to Jehovah!

mkjv@Jonah:2:10 @ And Jehovah spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out on the dry land.

mkjv@Jonah:3:1 @ And the Word of Jehovah came to Jonah the second time, saying,

mkjv@Jonah:3:2 @ Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out to it the proclamation that I am declaring to you.

mkjv@Jonah:3:3 @ And Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the Word of Jehovah. And Nineveh was a very great city of three days' journey.

mkjv@Jonah:3:4 @ And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried and said, Yet forty days and Nineveh shall be overthrown!

mkjv@Jonah:3:5 @ And the people of Nineveh believed God. And they called a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

mkjv@Jonah:3:6 @ For word came to the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne. And he laid his robe from him, and covered himself [with] sackcloth, and sat in ashes.

mkjv@Jonah:3:7 @ And he cried out and said in Nineveh by the decree of the king and his great ones, saying, Do not let man or beast, herd or flock taste anything; do not let them feed, nor drink water.

mkjv@Jonah:3:8 @ But let man and animal be covered [with] sackcloth, and cry mightily to God. And let them each one turn from his evil way, and from the violence that [is] in their hands.

mkjv@Jonah:3:9 @ Who knows? He may repent, and God may have pity and turn away from the glow of His anger, so that we do not perish.

mkjv@Jonah:3:10 @ And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way. And God was compassionate over the evil that He had said to do to them, and He did not do [it].

mkjv@Jonah:4:1 @ But it [was] a great calamity in Jonah's sight, and it kindled [anger] in him.

mkjv@Jonah:4:2 @ And he prayed to Jehovah and said, Please, O Jehovah, [was] this not my saying when I was still in my land? On account of this I fled before to Tarshish. For I knew that You [are] a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and One who repents over calamity.

mkjv@Jonah:4:3 @ And now, O Jehovah, I beseech You, take my life from me. For better [is] my death than my life.

mkjv@Jonah:4:4 @ And Jehovah said, Is anger rightly kindled in you?

mkjv@Jonah:4:5 @ And Jonah went out of the city and sat on the east of the city. And he made himself a booth there and sat under it in the shade, until he might see what would happen in the city.

mkjv@Jonah:4:6 @ And Jehovah God prepared a plant, and it came up over Jonah, to be shade over his head, in order to deliver him from his misery. And Jonah rejoiced [with] great joy over the plant.

mkjv@Jonah:4:7 @ But God prepared a worm as the morning dawned the next day. And it struck the plant, and it withered.

mkjv@Jonah:4:8 @ And it happened when the sun shone, God ordained a scorching east wind. And the sun beat on the head of Jonah, so that he fainted. And he asked for his life to die. And he said, Better [is] my death than my life.

mkjv@Jonah:4:9 @ And God said to Jonah, Is your anger rightly kindled over the plant? And he said, My anger is rightly kindled, [even] to death.

mkjv@Jonah:4:10 @ And Jehovah said, You have had pity on the plant, for which you had not labored, nor made it grow, which was a son of a night, and perished the son of a night.

mkjv@Jonah:4:11 @ And should I not spare Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than a hundred and twenty thousand men who do not know between [their] right [and their] left hand, besides much cattle?

mkjv@Micah:1:3 @ For behold, the LORD [is] coming out of His place, and will come down and walk on the high places of the earth.

mkjv@Micah:1:4 @ And the mountains shall melt under Him, and the valleys shall tear themselves, as wax before the fire, and as waters poured down a steep place.

mkjv@Micah:1:5 @ All this [is] for the transgression of Jacob, and for the sins of the house of Israel. What [is] the transgression of Jacob? [Is it] not Samaria? And what [are] the high places of Judah? [Are they] not Jerusalem?

mkjv@Micah:1:6 @ And I will make Samaria into ruins of the field, planting places for a vineyard; and I will pour down her stones into the valley, and I will uncover her foundations.

mkjv@Micah:1:7 @ And all her graven images shall be beaten to pieces, and all her gifts shall be burned with the fire, and I will destroy all its idols. For she gathered it from the reward of a harlot, and they shall return to the reward of a harlot.

mkjv@Micah:1:8 @ Therefore I will wail and howl; I will go stripped and naked; I will make a wailing like jackals, mourn like the daughters of an ostrich.

mkjv@Micah:1:9 @ For her wounds [are] not curable; for it has come to Judah; it has reached to the gate of My people, to Jerusalem.

mkjv@Micah:1:11 @ Pass over to them, O dweller of Shaphir, in nakedness of shame. The dweller of Zaanan has not gone out; the mourning of Beth-ezel shall take from you his standing.

mkjv@Micah:1:12 @ For be grieved for good, the dweller of Maroth, for evil came down from the LORD to the gate of Jerusalem.

mkjv@Micah:1:13 @ O inhabitant of Lachish, bind the chariot to the stallion; she [is] the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion, for the sins of Israel were found in you.

mkjv@Micah:1:14 @ Therefore you shall give parting gifts to Moresheth-gath; the houses of Achzib [are] for a lying thing to the kings of Israel.

mkjv@Micah:1:15 @ Yet I will bring an heir to you, O dweller of Mareshah. The glory of Israel shall come to Adullam.

mkjv@Micah:1:16 @ Make yourself bald, and cut off [your hair] for the sons of your delight; make your baldness large like the eagle; for they go into exile from you.

mkjv@Micah:2:4 @ In that day one shall take up a parable against you and mourn a mourning of mournings, saying, We shall be completely laid waste. He has exchanged the share of my people. How He has removed [it] from me! To the apostate He has divided our fields.

mkjv@Micah:2:5 @ Therefore there shall not be for you one casting a line by lot in the congregation of the LORD.

mkjv@Micah:2:6 @ Do not drop [words] as they drop! They shall not drop [words] about these; they shall not draw back reproaches.

mkjv@Micah:2:7 @ House of Jacob, [it is] said, The Spirit of the LORD is limited, if these [are] His doings. Do not My words do good to him who walks uprightly?

mkjv@Micah:2:8 @ Even yesterday, My people has risen up like an enemy; you strip off a cloak along with an outer robe, from those who pass by trustingly, those returning [from] war.

mkjv@Micah:3:5 @ So says the LORD concerning the prophets who make My people err, who bite with their teeth and cry, Peace! And whoever does not give for their mouth, they even sanctify a war against him.

mkjv@Micah:3:6 @ Therefore a night shall be to you [without] vision; and darkness [without] divining. And the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.

mkjv@Micah:3:7 @ And the seers shall be ashamed, and the diviners ashamed; yea, they shall all cover their mustache, for [there is] no answer [from] God.

mkjv@Micah:4:3 @ And He shall judge between many peoples, and will decide for strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, And they shall not still learn war.

mkjv@Micah:4:7 @ And I will make the lame into a remnant, and her who was cast off a strong nation; and the LORD shall reign over them in Mount Zion from now on, even forever.

mkjv@Micah:4:8 @ And you, O tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it shall happen. And rulers, the chief ones, shall come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.

mkjv@Micah:4:9 @ Now why do you cry aloud? Is there no king among you? Has your counselor perished? For pangs have taken you like one giving birth.

mkjv@Micah:4:10 @ Be in pain and deliver, daughter of Zion, like one giving birth. For now you shall go out from the city, and you shall dwell in the field; and you shall go to Babylon. There you shall be snatched back; there the LORD shall redeem you from the hand of your enemies.

mkjv@Micah:4:11 @ Now also many nations are gathered against you, who say, Let her be defiled, and let our eyes look on Zion.

mkjv@Micah:4:12 @ But they do not know the plans of the LORD, nor do they understand His counsel. For He has gathered them like the sheaf to the floor.

mkjv@Micah:4:13 @ Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion; for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze; and you shall crush many peoples. And I will give their gain to the LORD, and their wealth to the Lord of the all the earth.

mkjv@Micah:5:1 @ Now gather yourself in troops, daughter of a troop; one sets a siege against us; they shall strike the Judge of Israel with a rod on the cheek.

mkjv@Micah:5:2 @ And you, Bethlehem Ephratah, you being least among the thousands of Judah, out of you He shall come forth to Me, to become Ruler in Israel, He whose goings forth [have been] from of old, from the days of eternity.

mkjv@Micah:5:3 @ Therefore He will give them over until the time the one giving birth has given birth; then the rest of His brothers shall return to the sons of Israel.

mkjv@Micah:5:4 @ And He shall stand and feed in the strength of Jehovah, in the majesty of the name of Jehovah His God. And they shall sit, for now He shall be great to the ends of the earth.

mkjv@Micah:5:5 @ And this [One] shall be peace. When Assyria shall come into our land; and when he shall walk in our palaces, then we shall raise against him seven shepherds and eight anointed ones from men.

mkjv@Micah:5:6 @ And they shall mar the land of Assyria with the sword, and the land of Nimrod at her own entrances. And He shall deliver us from Assyria when he comes into our land, and when he treads within our border.

mkjv@Micah:5:7 @ And the remnant of Jacob shall be in the midst of many peoples, as dew from the LORD, as showers on a blade of the grass, which does not wait for man, nor delay for the sons of men.

mkjv@Micah:5:8 @ And the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations, in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among the beasts of the forest, like a young lion among the flocks of sheep, who, if he goes through, both tramples and tears in pieces. And there is none to snatch back.

mkjv@Micah:5:9 @ Your hand shall be high above your foes, and all your enemies shall be cut off.

mkjv@Micah:5:10 @ And it shall be in that day, says the LORD, I will cut off your horses out of your midst, and I will destroy your chariots.

mkjv@Micah:5:11 @ And I will cut off the cities of your land, and throw down all your strongholds.

mkjv@Micah:5:12 @ And I will cut off sorceries out of your hand, and there shall not be fortune-tellers among you.

mkjv@Micah:5:13 @ I will also cut off your graven images, and your pillars out of the midst of you; and you shall never again worship the work of your hands.

mkjv@Micah:5:14 @ And I will pluck your shrines out of the midst of you; so I will destroy your cities.

mkjv@Micah:5:15 @ And I will execute vengeance in anger and fury [on] the nations, such as they have not heard.

mkjv@Micah:6:1 @ Hear now what the LORD says: Arise, contend with the mountains and let the hills hear your voice.

mkjv@Micah:6:2 @ Mountains, hear the LORD's case, and the constant foundations of the earth. For the LORD has a quarrel with His people, and He will plead His case with Israel.

mkjv@Micah:6:3 @ O My people, what have I done to you? And in what have I made you weary? Testify against Me!

mkjv@Micah:6:4 @ For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of slaves; and I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam before you.

mkjv@Micah:6:5 @ O My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab planned, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may know the righteousness acts of the LORD.

mkjv@Micah:6:6 @ With what shall I come before the LORD, [to] bow myself before God the Most High? Shall I come before Him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?

mkjv@Micah:6:7 @ Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my first-born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

mkjv@Micah:6:8 @ He has shown you, O man, what [is] good. And what does the LORD require of you but to do justice and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God?

mkjv@Micah:6:9 @ The LORD's voice cries to the city, and in sound wisdom one will see Your name. Hear the rod and [Him] who has appointed it.

mkjv@Micah:6:10 @ Are the treasures of wickedness still in the house of the wicked, and the short measure that is hateful?

mkjv@Micah:6:11 @ Shall I count [those] with the wicked scales pure, and those with the bag of deceitful weights?

mkjv@Micah:6:12 @ [For] its rich men are full of violence, and its people have spoken lies, and their tongue [is] deceitful in their mouth.

mkjv@Micah:6:13 @ Therefore I also have made [you] sick by striking you, laying [you] waste because of your sins.

mkjv@Micah:6:14 @ You shall eat, but not be satisfied; and your casting down [shall be] in your midst. And you shall take hold, but shall not deliver; and that which you deliver I will give up to the sword.

mkjv@Micah:6:15 @ You shall sow, but you shall not reap; you shall tread the olives, but you shall not anoint yourself with oil; and sweet wine, but shall not drink wine.

mkjv@Micah:6:16 @ For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of the house of Ahab, and you walk in their counsels, so that I should make you a ruin and its people a hissing; therefore you shall bear the shame of My people.

mkjv@Micah:7:1 @ Woe is me! For I am like the gatherings of summer fruits, like the grape-gleanings of the vintage. There is no cluster to eat; my soul desires the first-ripe fruit.

mkjv@Micah:7:2 @ The pious has perished from the earth, and there is none upright among men. For they all lie in wait for blood; each one hunts his brother [with] a net.

mkjv@Micah:7:3 @ Both hands [are] on evil, to do [it] well. The ruler asks for a bribe, and the judge also; and the great man speaks the evil desire of his soul. So they weave it together.

mkjv@Micah:7:4 @ The best of them [is] like a briar; the most upright [is sharper] than a hedge of thorns. The day of your watchmen [and] your punishment comes; now their shame shall come.

mkjv@Micah:7:5 @ Put no trust in a friend; put no hope in a guide; keep the door of your mouth from her who lies [in] your bosom.

mkjv@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 household.

mkjv@Micah:7:7 @ Therefore I will look to the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation. My God will hear me!

mkjv@Micah:7:8 @ Rejoice not against me, my enemy; for [if] I fall, I shall arise; for [if] I sit in darkness, the LORD shall be a light to me.

mkjv@Micah:7:9 @ I will bear the fury of the LORD, because I have sinned against Him, until He pleads my cause and brings out judgment for me. He will bring me out to the light, and I shall behold His righteousness.

mkjv@Micah:7:10 @ Then my enemy shall see it; and shame shall cover her who said to me, Where is the LORD your God? My eyes shall behold her; now she shall be trampled like the mud of the streets.

mkjv@Micah:7:11 @ [In] the day that your walls are to be built, in that day the decree shall be far removed.

mkjv@Micah:7:12 @ [In] that day he shall come even to you from Assyria, and from the fortified cities, and from the siege even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain [to] mountain.

mkjv@Micah:7:13 @ But the land shall be wasted because of those who dwell in it, for the fruit of their doings.

mkjv@Micah:7:14 @ Feed your people with your rod, the flock of your inheritance, who dwell alone in the woods, in the midst of Carmel; let them feed [in] Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.

mkjv@Micah:7:15 @ According to the days of your coming out of the land of Egypt I will show to him marvelous things.

mkjv@Micah:7:16 @ The nations shall see and be ashamed at all their might; they shall lay their hand on [their] mouth; their ears shall be deaf.

mkjv@Micah:7:17 @ They shall lick the dust like a snake; they shall move out of their holes like worms of the earth. They shall dread the LORD our God, and shall fear because of You.

mkjv@Micah:7:18 @ Who [is] a God like You, who pardons iniquity and passes by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He does not keep His anger forever, because He delights [in] mercy.

mkjv@Micah:7:19 @ He will turn again; He will have pity on us. He will trample our iniquities. Yea, You will cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

mkjv@Micah:7:20 @ You will give faithfulness to Jacob, mercy to Abraham, which You have sworn to our fathers from the days of old.

mkjv@Nahum:1:1 @ The burden against Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.

mkjv@Nahum:1:2 @ God [is] jealous, and the LORD revenges; the LORD revenges and is a possessor of wrath. The LORD takes vengeance against His foes, and He keeps [wrath] against His enemies.

mkjv@Nahum:1:3 @ The LORD [is] slow to anger, and great in power. And He does not by any means acquit the guilty. The LORD [has] His way in the tempest and in the storm, and the clouds [are] the dust of His feet.

mkjv@Nahum:1:4 @ He rebukes the sea and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers; Bashan and Carmel wither, and the flower of Lebanon withers.

mkjv@Nahum:1:5 @ The mountains quake from Him, and the hills melt, and the earth is lifted up from before Him; even the world and all who dwell in it.

mkjv@Nahum:1:6 @ Who can stand before His fury? And who can stand up in the heat of His anger? His fury is poured out like fire, and the rocks are broken down because of Him.

mkjv@Nahum:1:7 @ The LORD [is] good, a stronghold in the day of trouble; and He knows those who trust in Him.

mkjv@Nahum:1:8 @ But with an overflowing flood He will make an utter end of its place, and darkness shall pursue His enemies.

mkjv@Nahum:1:9 @ What are you plotting against the LORD? He will make an utter end; affliction shall not rise up the second time.

mkjv@Nahum:1:10 @ For as thorns are woven together, and as their drunkards are drunken, they shall be devoured like stubble fully dry.

mkjv@Nahum:1:11 @ One who devises evil against the LORD has come forth from you, one counseling worthlessness.

mkjv@Nahum:1:12 @ So says the LORD: Though secure and likewise many, yet they shall be cut down, and he shall pass away. And though I have afflicted you, I will afflict you no more.

mkjv@Nahum:1:13 @ For now I will break his yoke off you, and will burst your bonds apart.

mkjv@Nahum:1:14 @ And the LORD has commanded concerning you, Not [one] of your name shall be sown any more; I will cut off the graven image and the molten image out of the house of your gods. I will make your grave; for you are despised.

mkjv@Nahum:1:15 @ Behold upon the mountains the feet of Him who brings good news, making it heard, Peace! O Judah, keep your appointed feasts, fulfill your vows; for the wicked shall pass through you no more; he is completely cut off.

mkjv@Nahum:2:1 @ The scattering one is coming up against your face. Guard the rampart. Watch the way, make your loins strong, firm up [your] power mightily.

mkjv@Nahum:2:2 @ For the LORD has turned away the glory of Jacob, as the glory of Israel. For the plunderers have plundered them, and have destroyed their vine branches.

mkjv@Nahum:2:3 @ The shield of his mighty ones has become red; the mighty men [are] in scarlet; the chariots flame like iron torches in the day of his preparation. And the cypresses are made to quiver.

mkjv@Nahum:2:4 @ The chariots race madly in the streets; they shall run to and fro in the open squares. Their appearance [is] like torches; they dart about like lightnings.

mkjv@Nahum:2:5 @ He shall remember his nobles; they shall stumble in their walking; they shall make haste to its wall, and the covering shall be prepared.

mkjv@Nahum:2:6 @ The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be melted.

mkjv@Nahum:2:7 @ And she who stood firm is uncovered and caused to go away. And her slave women are moaning like the sound of doves, beating their breast.

mkjv@Nahum:2:8 @ But Nineveh [is] like a pool of water from her days; yet they are fleeing. Halt! Halt! they cry, but none looks back.

mkjv@Nahum:2:9 @ Seize the silver; seize the gold; for [there is] no end to the treasures; riches from all precious vessels.

mkjv@Nahum:2:10 @ [She is] empty and void and waste; and the heart melts, and the knees knock, and trembling [is] on all the loins; and all their faces collect heat.

mkjv@Nahum:2:11 @ Where is the den of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion [and] the lioness walked, [and] the lion's cub, and no one made [them] afraid?

mkjv@Nahum:2:12 @ The lion tears in pieces enough for his cubs, and strangles for his lionesses, and filled his holes [with] prey, and his dens with torn prey.

mkjv@Nahum:2:13 @ Behold, I [am] against you, says the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions. I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall be heard no more.

mkjv@Nahum:3:1 @ Woe to the bloody city! It [is] a lie, and full of plunder; the prey is not withdrawn.

mkjv@Nahum:3:2 @ The sound of a whip, and the noise of the rattling of a wheel, and of a galloping horse, and of a bounding chariot.

mkjv@Nahum:3:3 @ The horseman lifts up both the bright sword and the lightning of the spear. And many [are] slain, and [there are] a mass of dead bodies, and no end of corpses; they stumble on their dead bodies,

mkjv@Nahum:3:4 @ because of the many harlotries of the well-favored harlot, the mistress of sorceries who sells nations by her harlotries, and families by her sorceries.

mkjv@Nahum:3:5 @ Behold, I [am] against you, says the LORD of hosts; and I will uncover your skirts upon your face. And I will cause the nations to see your nakedness, and the kingdoms your shame.

mkjv@Nahum:3:6 @ And I will cast filth upon you, and will dishonor you, and will set you as a gazing-stock.

mkjv@Nahum:3:7 @ And it shall be that all those who look upon you shall flee from you, and say, Nineveh is laid waste; who will weep for her? From where shall I seek comforters for you?

mkjv@Nahum:3:8 @ Are you better than No Amon, that dwelt among the Nile branches, waters all around her, whose rampart [was] the sea, the waters her wall?

mkjv@Nahum:3:9 @ Ethiopia and Egypt [were] her strength, yea, without end. Put and Lubim were among your helpers.

mkjv@Nahum:3:10 @ Yet she [went] into exile; she went into captivity, and her young children also were dashed to pieces at the head of all the streets; and they cast lots for her honorable men, and all her great men were bound in chains.

mkjv@Nahum:3:11 @ You also shall be drunken; you shall be hidden, you also shall seek strength because of the enemy.

mkjv@Nahum:3:12 @ All your strongholds shall be like fig trees with the first fruits; if they are shaken, they shall even fall into the mouth of the eater.

mkjv@Nahum:3:13 @ Behold, your people in your midst [are] women. The gates of your land shall surely be opened to your enemies; the fire shall devour your bars.

mkjv@Nahum:3:14 @ Draw waters for the siege; fortify your strongholds; go into the clay, and tread the mortar; make the brick mold strong.

mkjv@Nahum:3:15 @ There fire shall devour you; the sword shall cut you off, it shall eat you up like the locust. Make yourself as many as the larvae, multiply yourself like the locusts.

mkjv@Nahum:3:16 @ You have multiplied your merchants above the stars of heaven; the locust larvae shall strip off and fly away.

mkjv@Nahum:3:17 @ Your rulers [are] like the locusts, and your officials are a swarm of locusts that camp in the hedges in the cold day; the sun rises, and they flee, and the place where they [are] is not known.

mkjv@Nahum:3:18 @ Your shepherds slumber, O king of Assyria. Your nobles are at rest; your people are scattered upon the mountains, and no one is gathering.

mkjv@Nahum:3:19 @ There is no healing of your fracture; your wound is grievous; all who hear the news of you shall clap the hands over you; for upon whom has your wickedness not passed continually?

mkjv@Habakkuk:1:1 @ The burden which Habakkuk the prophet saw.

mkjv@Habakkuk:1:2 @ O LORD, until when shall I cry and You will not hear? I cry out to You [of] violence, and You do not save!

mkjv@Habakkuk:1:3 @ Why do You show me evil, and You look on toil? For destruction and violence [are] before me; and there is strife, and contention rises up.

mkjv@Habakkuk:1:4 @ Therefore the law has become helpless, and justice does not always go forth. For the wicked entraps the righteous; therefore justice goes forth, being perverted.

mkjv@Habakkuk:1:5 @ Look among the nations, and behold and wonder marvelously; for [I] will work a work in your days [which] you will not believe, not even if it is declared to you.

mkjv@Habakkuk:1:6 @ For lo, I raise up the Chaldeans, the bitter and hasty nation, which shall march through the breadth of the land to possess homes not their own.

mkjv@Habakkuk:1:7 @ He [is] terrible and fearful; his judgment and his majesty comes forth from Himself.

mkjv@Habakkuk:1:8 @ His horses also are swifter than the leopards, and are more fierce than the evening wolves. And their horsemen shall spread themselves, and their horsemen shall come from afar. They shall fly like the eagle hurrying to eat.

mkjv@Habakkuk:1:9 @ All of him shall come for violence; the gathering of their faces [is] forward; and they gather captives like the sand.

mkjv@Habakkuk:1:10 @ And they shall scoff at the kings, and the rulers [shall] be a scorn to them. They shall laugh at every stronghold, for he shall heap up dust and capture it.

mkjv@Habakkuk:1:11 @ Then he sweeps on [like] a wind, and he transgresses and is guilty, [crediting] his power to his god.

mkjv@Habakkuk:1:12 @ [Are] You not from everlasting, O LORD my God, my Holy One? We shall not die. O LORD, You have ordained them for judgment; and, my Rock, You have established them for correction.

mkjv@Habakkuk:1:13 @ [You are] of purer eyes than to behold evil, and can not look upon vexation. Why do You look upon those who deal deceitfully? Will you be silent when the wicked swallows [one] more righteous than he?

mkjv@Habakkuk:1:14 @ For You make man like the fish of the sea, like creeping things with no ruler over them.

mkjv@Habakkuk:1:15 @ He takes up all of them with the hook; he drags him with his net and gathers him with his seine; therefore he rejoices and exults.

mkjv@Habakkuk:1:16 @ So he sacrifices to his net and burns incense to his seine; because by them his portion [is] fat and his food rich.

mkjv@Habakkuk:1:17 @ Shall he then empty his net, and shall he not spare to continually slay nations?

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:1 @ I will stand on my watch and set myself on the tower, and will watch to see what He will say to me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:2 @ And the LORD answered me and said, Write the vision, and make [it] plain on the tablets, that he who reads it may run.

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:3 @ For the vision [is] still for an appointed time, but it [speaks] to the end, and it does not lie. Though it lingers, wait for it; because it will surely come. It will not tarry.

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:4 @ Behold, the soul of him is lifted up, [and] is not upright; but the just shall live by his faith.

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:5 @ And also wine indeed betrays a proud man, and [he is] not content. He widens his soul like Sheol, and he [is] like death, and is not satisfied, but gathers all nations to himself, and heaps to himself all the peoples.

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:6 @ Shall not all these lift up a parable against him, and a mocking riddle to him, and say, Woe to him who increases [what is] not his! Until when, then, shall he load the pledges on himself?

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:7 @ Shall not those who strike you rise up suddenly, and [those] who shake you awake, and you become a prize to them?

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:8 @ Because you have stripped many nations, all the rest of the people shall strip you; because of men's blood, and the violence of the land, of the city, and of all who dwell in it.

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:9 @ Woe [to] him who robs evil booty for his house, to set his nest on high, to be delivered from the hand of evil!

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:10 @ You have planned shame to your house, to make an end of many people, and are sinning [in] your soul.

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:11 @ For the stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it.

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:12 @ Woe [to] him who builds a town with blood, and establishes a city by iniquity!

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:13 @ Behold, [is it] not for the LORD of hosts that the people labor only for fire; yea, the nations weary themselves only for vanity?

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:14 @ For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:15 @ Woe [to] him who gives his neighbor drink, pouring out your wineskin, and also making [him] drunk, that you may look on their nakedness!

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:16 @ You are filled with shame instead of glory; drink also, and [be] seen as one uncircumcised! The cup of the LORD's right hand shall turn on you, and disgrace [shall be] your glory.

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:17 @ For the violence of Lebanon shall cover you, and the ruin of beasts shall terrify them because of the blood of man, and the violence of the land, the city, and all those dwelling in it.

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:18 @ What does an image profit, for its maker has carved it; a molten image, and a teacher of lies? For does the maker trust in his work on it, to make dumb idols?

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:19 @ Woe [to] him who says to the wood. Awake! To a dumb stone, Arise, it shall teach! Behold, it [is] overlaid [with] gold and silver, and no breath is in its midst.

mkjv@Habakkuk:2:20 @ But the LORD [is] in His holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before Him.

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:1 @ A prayer of Habakkuk the prophet concerning erring ones:

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:2 @ O LORD, I have heard Your report; I am afraid. O LORD, give new life [to] Your work in the midst of years; in the midst of the years make known; in wrath remember mercy.

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:3 @ God comes from Teman, and the Holy One from Mount Paran. Selah. His glory covers the heavens, and His praise fills the earth.

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:4 @ And [His] brightness is as the light; rays from His hand [are] His, and there [was] a hiding of His strength.

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:5 @ A plague went before Him, and lightning went forth at His feet.

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:6 @ He stood and measured the earth; He looked and shook nations, and the everlasting mountains were shattered; the eternal hills bowed down. His ways [are] everlasting.

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:7 @ I saw the tents of Cushan under calamity; the curtains of the land of Midian trembled.

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:8 @ Did the LORD burn against rivers? Or [was] Your anger against the rivers? Or Your wrath against the sea? [For] You ride on horses, Your chariots of salvation.

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:9 @ You make Your bow naked, [according to] the oaths of the rods of [Your] word. Selah. You have cut through the earth [with] rivers.

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:10 @ They saw You; mountains trembled. The storm of water passed over; the deep uttered its voice [and] lifted up its hands on high.

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:11 @ The sun [and] moon stood still in their dwelling. At the light of Your arrows they go, and at the shining of Your gleaming spear.

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:12 @ You march into the land in fury; You thresh nations in anger.

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:13 @ You went forth for the salvation of Your people, for salvation with Your anointed. You struck the head from the house of the wicked, to bare the foundation to the neck. Selah.

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:14 @ You pierced the head of his warriors with his shafts; they storm out to scatter me; their rejoicing [is] to devour the meek in a secret place.

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:15 @ You trod in the sea with] Your horses, the foaming of many waters.

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:16 @ I heard and my belly trembled; my lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness entered into my bones, and I trembled in myself that I might rest in the day of trouble; to come up against the people; he cuts him off.

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:17 @ Though the fig tree shall not blossom, and fruit is not on the vines; the labor of the olive fails, and the fields yield no food. The flock is cut off from the fold, and no herd [is] in the stalls;

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:18 @ yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.

mkjv@Habakkuk:3:19 @ Jehovah the Lord [is] my strength, and He will make my feet like hinds' [feet], and He will make me to walk on my high places. To the chief singer on my stringed instruments.

mkjv@Zephaniah:1:1 @ The Word of the LORD which came to Zephaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaliah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah.

mkjv@Zephaniah:1:2 @ I will completely snatch away all from on the face of the ground, says the LORD.

mkjv@Zephaniah:1:3 @ I will snatch away man and beast; I will snatch away the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, and the stumbling-blocks, [even] the wicked; and I will cut off man from the face of the earth, says the LORD.

mkjv@Zephaniah:1:4 @ I will also stretch out My hand on Judah and on all the people of Jerusalem. And I will cut off the remnant of Baal from this place, the name of the idol-worshipers, with the priests,

mkjv@Zephaniah:1:5 @ and those bowing to the host of heaven on the housetops, and those bowing, swearing to Jehovah, also swearing by Malcham;

mkjv@Zephaniah:1:6 @ and those drawing back from the LORD, and who have not sought the LORD, nor asked for Him.

mkjv@Zephaniah:1:7 @ Be silent before the face of the Lord Jehovah, for the day of the LORD [is] at hand. For the LORD has appointed a sacrifice; He has consecrated His called ones.

mkjv@Zephaniah:1:8 @ And it shall be in the day of the LORD's sacrifice, I will punish the rulers, and the king's sons, and all who are clothed [in] foreign clothing.

mkjv@Zephaniah:1:9 @ And I will punish all those who leap on the threshold in that day, who fill their masters' houses [with] violence and deceit.

mkjv@Zephaniah:1:10 @ And it shall be in that day, says the LORD, the sound of a cry from the Fish Gate, and a howling from the Second, and a great crashing from the hills.

mkjv@Zephaniah:1:11 @ Howl, people of Maktesh, for all the people of Canaan are cut down; all those who carry silver are cut off.

mkjv@Zephaniah:1:12 @ And it shall be in that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and punish the men who are settled on their lees; who say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, nor will He do evil.

mkjv@Haggai:1:2 @ So says the LORD of hosts, saying: This people says, The time has not come, the time that Jehovah's house should be built.

mkjv@Haggai:1:5 @ And now so says the LORD of hosts: Set your heart on your ways;

mkjv@Haggai:1:6 @ you have sown much and bring in little; [you] eat, but you do not have enough; you drink, but you are not filled with drink; you dress, but no one is warm; and he who hires out himself hires himself for a bag full of holes.

mkjv@Haggai:1:8 @ Go up the mountain and bring wood, and build this House; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, says the LORD.

mkjv@Haggai:1:9 @ You looked for much, and behold, little! And when you brought [it] home, then I blew on it. Why, says the LORD of hosts? Because of My House that is waste, and you, [each] man runs to his own house.

mkjv@Haggai:1:10 @ Therefore the heavens above you have held back the dew, and the earth is held back [from] her produce.

mkjv@Haggai:1:11 @ And I called for a drought in the land, and on the mountains, and on the grain, and on the new wine, and on the oil, and on that which the ground brings forth, and on men, and on cattle, and on all the labor of your hands.

mkjv@Haggai:1:13 @ Then Haggai, the LORD's messenger, spoke the message of the LORD to the people, saying, I [am] with you, says the LORD.

mkjv@Haggai:1:14 @ And the LORD stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak, the high priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people. And they came and worked on the house of the LORD of hosts, their God,

mkjv@Haggai:2:9 @ The glory of this latter house shall be greater than that of the former, says the LORD of hosts. And in this place I will give peace, says the LORD of hosts.

mkjv@Haggai:2:10 @ In the twenty-fourth of the ninth [month], in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came by Haggai the prophet, saying,

mkjv@Haggai:2:11 @ So says the LORD of hosts: Now ask the priests the law, saying,

mkjv@Haggai:2:12 @ If one carries holy flesh in the [skirt] of his garment, and touches his [skirt] to bread, or boiled food, or wine, or oil, or any food, will it become holy? And the priests answered and said, No.

mkjv@Haggai:2:13 @ Then Haggai said, If [one] unclean of body touches these, is it unclean? And the priests answered and said, It is unclean.

mkjv@Haggai:2:14 @ And Haggai answered and said, So [is] this people, and so [is] this nation before Me, says the LORD. And so is every work of their hands; and that which they offer there [is] unclean.

mkjv@Haggai:2:15 @ And now, I ask you, set your heart on it; from this day and onward, before the placing of a stone on a stone in the temple of the LORD;

mkjv@Haggai:2:17 @ I struck you with blight and with mildew, and with hail, in all the labors of your hands; yet you did not [turn] to Me, says the LORD.

mkjv@Haggai:2:18 @ Now set your heart from this day and forward, from the twenty-fourth day of the ninth [month], from the day that the LORD's temple was founded. Set your heart:

mkjv@Haggai:2:19 @ [Is] the seed still in the barn? Yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, have not brought forth. From this day I will bless [you].

mkjv@Haggai:2:22 @ And I will overthrow the throne of the kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the nations. And I will overthrow the chariots and their riders. And the horses and their riders shall come down, each one by the sword of his brother.

mkjv@Haggai:2:23 @ In that day, says the LORD of hosts, I will take you, O Zerubbabel, My servant, the son of Shealtiel, says the LORD, and will make you like a signet; for I have chosen you, says the LORD of hosts.

mkjv@Zechariah:1:1 @ In the eighth month, in the second year of Darius, the Word of the LORD came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

mkjv@Zechariah:1:6 @ But My words and My statutes which I commanded My servants the prophets, did they not overtake your fathers? And they returned and said, As the LORD of hosts planned to do to us, according to our ways and according to our doings, so He has done with us.

mkjv@Zechariah:1:7 @ On the twenty-fourth day of the eleventh month, it [is] the month Shebat, in the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to Zechariah, the son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo the prophet, saying,

mkjv@Zechariah:1:8 @ I watched by night. And behold! a Man riding on a red horse, and He stood among the myrtle trees in the ravine. And behind Him were red, sorrel and white horses.

mkjv@Zechariah:1:9 @ Then I said, O my lord, what [are] these? And the angel who talked with me said to me, I will show you what these [are].

mkjv@Zechariah:1:10 @ And the Man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These [are] those whom the LORD has sent to walk to and fro through the earth.

mkjv@Zechariah:1:11 @ And they answered the Angel of the LORD who stood among the myrtle trees, and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and behold, all the earth sits still and is at peace.

mkjv@Zechariah:1:12 @ Then the Angel of the LORD answered and said, O LORD of hosts, how long will You not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah against which You have cursed these seventy years?

mkjv@Zechariah:1:13 @ And the LORD answered the angel who talked with me [with] good words, comfortable words.

mkjv@Zechariah:1:14 @ So the angel who talked with me said to me, Cry out, saying, So says the LORD of hosts: I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion [with] a great jealousy.

mkjv@Zechariah:1:15 @ And with great anger I am angry at the nations at ease; [in] that I was but a little angry, and they gave help for evil.

mkjv@Zechariah:1:16 @ Therefore so says the LORD: I have returned to Jerusalem with mercies. My house shall be built in it, says the LORD of hosts. And a line shall be stretched over Jerusalem.

mkjv@Zechariah:1:17 @ Cry out again, saying, So says the LORD of hosts: My cities shall yet be spread abroad through good, and the LORD shall again overflow with goodness, and the LORD shall yet comfort Zion, and shall yet choose Jerusalem.

mkjv@Zechariah:1:18 @ Then I lifted up my eyes and looked, and behold, four horns!

mkjv@Zechariah:2:1 @ I lifted up my eyes again and looked, and behold! A man with a measuring line in his hand.

mkjv@Zechariah:2:2 @ Then I said, Where are you going? And he said to me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what [is] its breadth and what is its length.

mkjv@Zechariah:2:3 @ And behold, the angel who talked with me went out, and another angel went out to meet him.

mkjv@Zechariah:2:4 @ And he said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem shall be inhabited, [as] towns without walls for the multitude of men and cattle in her midst.

mkjv@Zechariah:2:7 @ Ho! O Zion, escape, you who live with the daughter of Babylon.

mkjv@Zechariah:2:8 @ For so says the LORD of hosts: He has sent me after glory, to the nations who stripped you; for he who touches you touches the pupil of His eye.

mkjv@Zechariah:2:10 @ Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion. For lo, I come, and I will dwell in your midst, says the LORD.

mkjv@Zechariah:2:11 @ And many nations shall be joined to the LORD in that day, and shall be My people; and I will dwell in your midst, and you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you.

mkjv@Zechariah:2:12 @ And the LORD shall possess Judah, His portion in the holy land, and shall choose Jerusalem again.

mkjv@Zechariah:2:13 @ Be silent, all flesh, before the LORD; for He has risen out of His holy dwelling place.

mkjv@Zechariah:3:1 @ And He showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the Angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.

mkjv@Zechariah:3:2 @ And the LORD said to Satan, May the LORD rebuke you, Satan! May even the LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! [Is] this not a brand plucked out of the fire?

mkjv@Zechariah:3:3 @ Now Joshua was clothed with filthy clothes, and stood before the Angel.

mkjv@Zechariah:3:4 @ And He answered and spoke to those who stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy clothes from him. And to him He said, Behold, I have caused your iniquity to pass from you, and I will clothe you with ceremonial robes.

mkjv@Zechariah:3:5 @ And I said, Let them set a clean turban on his head. And they set a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments. And the Angel of the LORD stood by.

mkjv@Zechariah:3:6 @ And the Angel of the LORD charged Joshua, saying,

mkjv@Zechariah:3:7 @ So says the LORD of hosts: If you will walk in My ways, and if you will keep My charge, then you shall also judge My house, and shall also keep My courts, and I will give you places to walk among these who stand by.

mkjv@Zechariah:3:8 @ Hear now, O Joshua the high priest, you and your fellows who sit before you; for they [are] men of symbol.

mkjv@Zechariah:3:9 @ For behold! I will bring forth My Servant the Branch. For behold the stone that I have set before Joshua: On one stone [are] seven eyes. Behold, I will engrave its engraving, says the LORD of hosts, and I will remove the iniquity of that land in one day.

mkjv@Zechariah:3:10 @ In that day, says the LORD of hosts, you shall call, each man to his neighbor, to sit under the vine and under the fig tree.

mkjv@Zechariah:4:1 @ And the angel that talked with me came again and awakened me, as a man that is awakened out of his sleep.

mkjv@Zechariah:4:2 @ And he said to me, What do you see? And I said, I see, and behold, a lampstand, all of it gold, and a bowl on its top, and its seven lamps on it, and seven pipes to the seven lamps on its top;

mkjv@Zechariah:4:13 @ And he answered me and said, Do you not know what these [are]? And I said, No, my lord.

mkjv@Zechariah:4:14 @ And he said, These [are] the two sons of fresh oil who stand by the LORD of the whole earth.

mkjv@Zechariah:5:1 @ And I again lifted up my eyes and looked. And behold! A flying scroll.

mkjv@Zechariah:5:2 @ And he said to me, What do you see? And I answered, I see a flying scroll; its length [is] twenty cubits, and its width ten cubits.

mkjv@Zechariah:5:3 @ And he said to me, This [is] the curse that goes forth over the face of the whole earth; for from now on everyone who steals shall be cut off according to it; and everyone who swears from now on shall be cut off according to it.

mkjv@Zechariah:7:6 @ And when you ate, and when you drank, was it not for you the eaters, and for you, the drinkers?

mkjv@Zechariah:7:7 @ Are not [these] the words which the LORD proclaimed by the former prophets, when Jerusalem was inhabited, and prosperous, and her cities all around her, and the Negev and the Shephelah were inhabited?

mkjv@Zechariah:7:8 @ And the Word of the LORD came to Zechariah, saying,

mkjv@Zechariah:7:9 @ So speaks the LORD of hosts, saying, Judge true judgment, and practice kindness and pity, [each] man to his brother.

mkjv@Zechariah:7:10 @ And do not crush the widow or the orphan, the alien or the poor. And do not devise evil in your heart, of a man [against] his brother.

mkjv@Zechariah:7:11 @ But they refused to listen, and gave a stubborn shoulder, and made heavy their ears from hearing.

mkjv@Zechariah:7:12 @ And they made their hearts adamant from hearing the law and the words which the LORD of hosts has sent through His Spirit, by the former prophets. And great wrath came from the LORD of hosts.

mkjv@Zechariah:7:13 @ And it will be, as He called, and they did not listen, so they called, and I did not listen, says the LORD of hosts.

mkjv@Zechariah:7:14 @ But I stormed them away on all the nations whom they did not know. And the land has been wasted behind them, from passing and from returning; for they made the land of desire a waste.

mkjv@Zechariah:8:1 @ And the Word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,

mkjv@Zechariah:8:2 @ So says the LORD of hosts: I was jealous for Zion [with] great jealousy, and I was jealous for her [with] great fury.

mkjv@Zechariah:8:3 @ So says the LORD: I have returned to Zion, and will dwell in the midst of Jerusalem: and Jerusalem shall be called a city of truth, and the mountain of the LORD of hosts, the holy mountain.

mkjv@Zechariah:8:4 @ So says the LORD of hosts: There shall yet be old men and old women living in the streets of Jerusalem, and [each] man [with] his staff in his hand because of their many days.

mkjv@Zechariah:8:5 @ And the streets of the city shall be full of boys and girls playing in its streets.

mkjv@Zechariah:8:6 @ So says the LORD of hosts: If it is marvelous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in those days, will it also be marvelous in My eyes, says the LORD of hosts?

mkjv@Zechariah:8:7 @ So says the LORD of hosts: Behold, I will save My people from the east country, and from the land of the setting sun.

mkjv@Zechariah:8:8 @ And I will bring them, and they shall dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. And they shall be My people, and I will be their God, in truth and in righteousness.

mkjv@Zechariah:8:9 @ So says the LORD of hosts: Let your hands be strong, you who hear in these days these words by the mouth of the prophets, that in the day the house of the LORD of hosts is laid, the temple is to be built.

mkjv@Zechariah:8:10 @ For before these days there was no payment for man, nor was there payment for animal; and there was no peace to him from the adversary who went out or came in. For I sent every man, a man against his neighbor.

mkjv@Zechariah:8:11 @ But now I [will] not [be] to the remnant of this people as in the former days, says the LORD of hosts.

mkjv@Zechariah:8:12 @ For the seed [shall be] blessed; the vine shall give its fruit, and the ground shall give its increase, and the heavens shall give their dew; and I will cause the remnant of this people to possess all these things.

mkjv@Zechariah:8:13 @ And it will be, as you were a curse among the nations, O house of Judah and house of Israel, so I will save you, and you shall be a blessing. Do not fear, but let your hands be strong.

mkjv@Zechariah:8:14 @ For so says the LORD of hosts: As I thought to punish you when your fathers provoked Me to wrath, says the LORD of hosts, and I did not repent;

mkjv@Zechariah:8:15 @ so again I have thought in these days to do well to Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. Fear not.

mkjv@Zechariah:8:16 @ These [are] the things that you shall do. [Each] man speak the truth to his neighbor. Judge [with] truth and justice for peace in your gates.

mkjv@Zechariah:8:17 @ And let each devise no evil in your heart [against] his neighbor; and love no false oath. For all these are things that I hate, says the LORD.

mkjv@Zechariah:8:18 @ And the word of the LORD of hosts came to me, saying,

mkjv@Zechariah:8:19 @ So says the LORD of hosts: The fast of the fourth [month], and the fast of the fifth, and the fast of the seventh, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Judah for joy and gladness, and cheerful feasts. Therefore love truth and peace.

mkjv@Zechariah:8:20 @ So says the LORD of hosts: There yet shall be peoples and inhabitants of many cities;

mkjv@Zechariah:8:21 @ and the residents of one shall go to another, saying, Let us go at once to seek favor of the face of the LORD, and to seek the LORD of hosts; I will go also.

mkjv@Zechariah:8:22 @ And many peoples and strong nations shall come to seek the LORD of hosts in Jerusalem and to seek the favor of the face of the LORD.

mkjv@Zechariah:8:23 @ So says the LORD of hosts: In those days ten men, out of all languages of the nations, shall take hold, and will seize the skirt of a man, a Jew, saying, We will go with you, for we have heard that God is with you.

mkjv@Zechariah:9:1 @ The burden of the Word of the LORD against the land of Hadrach, and its resting-place, Damascus (when the eye of man, and all the tribes of Israel, [shall be] toward the LORD);

mkjv@Zechariah:9:2 @ and Hamath also borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, though very wise.

mkjv@Zechariah:9:3 @ And Tyre shall build herself a stronghold, and shall heap up silver like the dust, and gold like the mud of the streets;

mkjv@Zechariah:9:4 @ behold, the Lord will cast her out, and He will strike her wealth in the sea, and she shall be burned up with fire.

mkjv@Zechariah:9:5 @ Ashkelon shall see and fear; Gaza also shall writhe in great pain; and Ekron shall be ashamed for her hope. And the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.

mkjv@Zechariah:9:6 @ And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.

mkjv@Zechariah:9:7 @ And I will take away his bloods out of his mouth, and his idolatries from between his teeth. But the remnant, even he, [shall be] for our God. And he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron like a Jebusite.

mkjv@Zechariah:9:8 @ And I will camp around My house because of an army, because of him who passed by, and because of him who returns. And no tyrant shall pass through them any more. For now I have seen with My eyes.

mkjv@Zechariah:9:9 @ Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem; behold, your King comes to you. He is righteous and victorious, meek and riding on an ass, even on a colt, the son of an ass.

mkjv@Zechariah:9:10 @ And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem. And the battle bow shall be cut off, and He shall speak peace to the nations; and His dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the River to the ends of the earth.

mkjv@Zechariah:9:11 @ You also, by the blood of Your covenant I have freed Your prisoners out of the pit in which is no water.

mkjv@Zechariah:9:12 @ Turn to the stronghold, prisoners of hope; even today I declare that I will return to you double.

mkjv@Zechariah:9:13 @ For I have bent Judah for me [as] a bow; I filled it with Ephraim, and I will stir up your sons, O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and make you as the sword of a mighty man.

mkjv@Zechariah:9:14 @ And the LORD shall be seen over them, and His arrow shall go forth like the lightning; and the Lord GOD shall blow the ram's horn, and shall go out with the windstorms of the south.

mkjv@Zechariah:9:15 @ The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour and trample the slingstones. And they shall drink and be boisterous, as through wine. And they shall be filled like a bowl, and like the corners of the altar.

mkjv@Zechariah:9:16 @ And the LORD their God shall save them in that day as the flock of His people; for [they are as] stones of a crown, lifted up as a banner over His land.

mkjv@Zechariah:9:17 @ For how great [is] its goodness and how great its beauty! Grain shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.

mkjv@Zechariah:10:1 @ Ask rain from the LORD in the time of the latter rain. The LORD shall make storm clouds, and He gives them showers of rain, grass to everyone in the field.

mkjv@Zechariah:10:2 @ For the family idols speak iniquity, and the diviners have seen a lie and have told false dreams. They comfort in vain; therefore they wandered like a flock; they were troubled because there was no shepherd.

mkjv@Zechariah:10:3 @ My anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the he-goats; for the LORD of hosts has visited His flock the house of Judah, and has made them as His beautiful horse in battle.

mkjv@Zechariah:10:4 @ Out of Him came the cornerstone; out of Him the nail; out of Him the battle bow; out of Him every oppressor together.

mkjv@Zechariah:10:5 @ And they shall be like mighty ones who trample the mud of the streets in the battle. And they shall fight because the LORD [is] with them, and they shall make the riders on horses ashamed.

mkjv@Zechariah:10:6 @ And I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph, and I will return to save them; for I have pity on them. And they shall be as though I had not cast them off; for I [ am] the LORD their God, and I will answer them.

mkjv@Zechariah:10:7 @ And Ephraim shall be like a mighty one, and their heart shall rejoice as [by] wine. And their sons shall see and be glad; their heart shall rejoice in the LORD.

mkjv@Zechariah:10:8 @ I will hiss for them and gather them; for I have redeemed them. And they shall be many as they were many.

mkjv@Zechariah:10:9 @ And I will sow them among the peoples, and they shall remember Me in the distances; and they shall live with their sons and return.

mkjv@Zechariah:10:10 @ I will return them out of the land of Egypt, and I will gather them out of Assyria; and I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; for [room] shall not be found for them.

mkjv@Zechariah:10:11 @ And he shall pass through the sea of distress, and shall strike the waves in the sea; and all the depths of the Nile shall dry up. And the pride of Assyria shall be humbled, and the scepter of Egypt shall move away.

mkjv@Zechariah:10:12 @ And I will strengthen them in the LORD; and they shall walk up and down in His name, says the LORD.

mkjv@Zechariah:11:1 @ Open your doors, O Lebanon, so that the fire may devour your cedars.

mkjv@Zechariah:11:2 @ Howl, juniper; for the cedar has fallen; because the majestic [trees] are devastated. Howl, O oaks of Bashan; for the inaccessible forest has come down.

mkjv@Zechariah:11:3 @ There [is] a voice of the howling of the shepherds; for their glory is destroyed. There [is] a voice of the roaring of young lions; for the pride of Jordan is destroyed.

mkjv@Zechariah:11:4 @ For so says the LORD my God: Feed the flock of the slaughter,

mkjv@Zechariah:11:5 @ those buying them kill them, and hold themselves not guilty. And those who sell them say, Blessed [be] the LORD, for I am rich; and their shepherds do not pity them.

mkjv@Zechariah:11:6 @ For I will never again pity the people of the land, says the LORD; but lo, I will make the men come out, each one into his neighbor's hand and into his king's hand. And they shall strike the land, and I will not deliver out of their hand.

mkjv@Zechariah:11:7 @ And I fed the flock of slaughter, even the poor of the flock. And I took two staffs for myself; the one I called Kindness, and the other I called Union. And I fed the flock.

mkjv@Zechariah:11:8 @ I also cut off three shepherds in one month; and my soul was impatient with them, and their soul also despised me.

mkjv@Zechariah:11:9 @ And I said, I will not feed you; that which dies, let it die; and that which is to be cut off, let it be cut off. And those left, let them eat, each woman her neighbor's flesh.

mkjv@Zechariah:11:10 @ And I took my staff Kindness, and broke it apart, to break My covenant which I had made with all the peoples.

mkjv@Zechariah:11:11 @ And it was broken in that day; and so the poor of the flock who were watching Me knew that it [was] the Word of the LORD.

mkjv@Zechariah:11:12 @ And I said to them, If [it is] good, give My price; and if not, let it go. So they weighed My price thirty [pieces] of silver.

mkjv@Zechariah:11:13 @ And the LORD said to me, Throw it to the potter, the magnificent price at which I was valued by them. And I took the thirty [pieces] of silver and threw them to the potter in the house of the LORD.

mkjv@Zechariah:11:14 @ Then I broke My other staff Union apart, that I might break the brotherhood between Judah and Israel.

mkjv@Zechariah:11:15 @ And the LORD said to me, Take to yourself yet the instruments of a foolish shepherd.

mkjv@Zechariah:11:16 @ For lo, I will raise up a shepherd in the land who will not care for those going to ruin, nor will he seek the young, nor will heal that which is broken, nor will he feed that which stands. But he shall eat the flesh of the fat and tear off their hoofs.

mkjv@Zechariah:11:17 @ Woe to the worthless shepherd who abandons the flock! The sword [shall be] on his arm and on his right eye; his arm shall be completely dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened.

mkjv@Zechariah:12:1 @ The burden of the Word of the LORD for Israel, says the LORD, who stretches forth the heavens, and lays the foundation of the earth, and forms the spirit of man within him.

mkjv@Zechariah:12:2 @ Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of trembling to all the peoples all around, and it shall also be against Judah in the siege against Jerusalem.

mkjv@Zechariah:12:3 @ And in that day I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all peoples. All who lift it shall be slashed, and all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it.

mkjv@Zechariah:12:4 @ In that day, says the LORD, I will strike every horse with terror, and his rider with madness. And I will open My eyes on the house of Judah, and will strike every horse of the peoples with blindness.

mkjv@Zechariah:12:5 @ And the governors of Judah shall say in their heart, The people of Jerusalem [shall be] my strength in the LORD of hosts their God.

mkjv@Zechariah:12:6 @ In that day I will make the governors of Judah like a hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire among cut grain. And they shall devour all the peoples all around, on the right hand and on the left hand. And Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her place, in Jerusalem.

mkjv@Zechariah:12:7 @ The LORD also shall save the tents of Judah first, so that the glory of the house of David and the glory of the people of Jerusalem may not be magnified above Judah.

mkjv@Zechariah:12:8 @ In that day the LORD shall defend around the people of Jerusalem. And it will be, he who is feeble among them at that day [shall be] like David; and the house of David [shall be] like God, like the Angel of the LORD before them.

mkjv@Zechariah:12:9 @ And it shall be in that day I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

mkjv@Zechariah:12:10 @ And I will pour on the house of David, and on the people of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of prayers. And they shall look on Me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for Him, as one mourns for his only [son], and shall be bitter over Him, as the bitterness over the first-born.

mkjv@Zechariah:12:11 @ In that day shall be a great mourning in Jerusalem, like the mourning of Hadad-rimmon in the valley of Megiddo.

mkjv@Zechariah:12:12 @ And the land shall mourn, each family apart; the family of David apart, and their wives apart; the family of the house of Nathan apart, and their wives apart

mkjv@Zechariah:12:13 @ the family of the house of Levi apart, and their wives apart; the family of Shimei apart, and their wives apart;

mkjv@Zechariah:12:14 @ all the families who remain, each family apart and their wives apart.

mkjv@Zechariah:13:1 @ In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David, and to the people of Jerusalem, for sin and for uncleanness.

mkjv@Zechariah:13:2 @ And it shall be in that day, says the LORD of hosts, I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall be remembered no more. And also I will cause the prophets and the unclean spirit to pass out of the land.

mkjv@Zechariah:13:3 @ And it shall be when any shall yet prophesy, his father and his mother who gave birth to him shall say to him then, You shall not live; for you speak lies in the name of the LORD. And his father and his mother who gave him birth shall thrust him through when he prophesies.

mkjv@Zechariah:13:4 @ And it shall be in that day, the prophets shall be ashamed, each one of his vision, when he prophesies. And they shall not wear a hairy garment to deceive.

mkjv@Zechariah:13:5 @ But he shall say, I [am] no prophet; I [am] a man, a tiller of the ground; for a man taught me to buy from my youth.

mkjv@Zechariah:13:6 @ And [one] shall say to him, What [are] these wounds in your hands? Then he shall answer, Those with which I was wounded [in] the house of those who love Me.

mkjv@Zechariah:13:7 @ Awake, O sword, against My Shepherd, and against the Man who is My companion, says the LORD of hosts; strike the Shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. And I will turn My hand on the little ones.

mkjv@Zechariah:13:8 @ And it shall be in all the land, says the LORD, two parts in it shall be cut off [and] die; but the third shall be left in it.

mkjv@Zechariah:13:9 @ And I will bring the third part through the fire, and will refine them as silver is refined, and will try them as gold is tried. They shall call on My name, and I will answer them; I will say, It [ is] My people; and they shall say, The LORD is my God.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:1 @ Behold, the day of the LORD comes, and your spoil shall be divided in your midst.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:2 @ For I will gather all nations to battle against Jerusalem; and the city shall be taken, and the houses plundered, and the women raped. And half of the city shall go into exile, and the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:3 @ And the LORD shall go out and fight against those nations, like the day He fought in the day of battle.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:4 @ And His feet shall stand in that day on the Mount of Olives, which [is] before Jerusalem on the east, and the Mount of Olives shall divide from its middle, from the east and to the west, a very great valley. And half of the mountain shall move toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:5 @ And you shall flee to the valley of My mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach to Azal. And you shall flee as you fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. And the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with you.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:6 @ And it will be in that day, there shall not be light; the glorious ones shall shrink.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:7 @ And it will be one day which shall be known to the LORD, neither day nor night; but it will happen that at evening time it shall be light.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:8 @ And it shall be in that day, living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them shall go toward the eastern sea, and half of them toward the western sea. In summer and in winter it shall be.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:9 @ And the LORD shall be King over all the earth; in that day there shall be one LORD, and His name shall be one.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:10 @ All the land shall be turned as a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. And it shall rise and dwell in its place, from Benjamin's Gate to the place of the First Gate; to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananeel to the king's winepresses.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:12 @ And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the peoples who have fought against Jerusalem. Their flesh shall rot while they stand on their feet, and their eyes shall rot in their sockets. And their tongue shall rot in their mouth.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:13 @ And it shall be in that day a great panic of the LORD shall be among them And they shall each one lay hold of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:14 @ And Judah also shall fight at Jerusalem; and the wealth of all the nations all around shall be gathered, gold, and silver, and clothing in great abundance.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:15 @ And so shall be the plague of the horse, the mule, the camel, and the ass, and of all the beasts which shall be in these tents, like this plague.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:16 @ And it shall be, everyone who is left of all the nations which came up against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:17 @ And it shall be, whoever will not come up from all the families of the earth to Jerusalem to worship the King, Jehovah of hosts, even on them shall be no rain.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:18 @ And if the family of Egypt does not go up, nor come in, they shall have no rain, but the plague with which the LORD shall strike the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:19 @ This shall be Egypt's offense, and the offense of all the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:20 @ In that day there shall be on the bells of the horses, HOLY TO THE LORD. And the pots in the LORD's house shall be like the bowls before the altar.

mkjv@Zechariah:14:21 @ Yea, every pot in Jerusalem and in Judah shall be holy to the LORD of hosts. And all those who sacrifice shall come and take of them, and boil in them. And in that day there shall no longer be a trader in the house of the LORD of hosts.

mkjv@Malachi:1:1 @ The burden of the Word of the LORD to Israel by Malachi.

mkjv@Malachi:1:2 @ I have loved you, says the LORD. But you say, In what have You loved us? [Was] not Esau Jacob's brother? says the LORD; yet I loved Jacob,

mkjv@Malachi:1:3 @ and I hated Esau and made his mountains a desolation, and his inheritance [to be] for the jackals of the wilderness.

mkjv@Malachi:1:4 @ If Edom says, We are beaten down, but we will return and build the waste places. So says the LORD of hosts, They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them the region of wickedness, and the people [with] whom the LORD [is] indignant forever.

mkjv@Malachi:1:5 @ And your eyes shall see, and you shall say, The LORD will be magnified beyond the border of Israel.

mkjv@Malachi:1:6 @ A son honors his father, and a servant his master. If then I [am] a father, where is My honor? And if I [am] a master, where is My fear? says the LORD of hosts to you, O priests who despise My name. And you say, In what way have we despised Your name?

mkjv@Malachi:1:7 @ You offer defiled bread upon My altar; and you say, In what way have we defiled You? In your saying, The table of the LORD, it [is] a thing to be despised.

mkjv@Malachi:1:8 @ And if you offer the blind for sacrifice, [is it] not evil? And if you offer the lame and the sick, [is it] not evil? Bring it now to your governor. Will he accept you, or lift up your face, says the LORD of hosts?

mkjv@Malachi:1:9 @ And now entreat the face of God, that He favor us. This has been by your hands, will He lift up your faces, says the LORD of hosts?

mkjv@Malachi:1:10 @ Who [is] even among you who will shut the doors, and you not kindle [fire on] My altar in vain! I have no pleasure in you, says the LORD of hosts. I will not be pleased with an offering from you.

mkjv@Malachi:1:11 @ For from the rising of the sun even to its going in, My name shall be great among the nations; and everywhere incense shall be offered to My name, and a pure food offering. For My name [shall be] great among the nations, says the LORD of hosts.

mkjv@Malachi:1:12 @ But you are profaning it when you say, The table of the LORD, it [is] polluted; and its fruit, His food, [is] to be despised.

mkjv@Malachi:1:13 @ You also said, Behold, what a weariness [it is]! And you have puffed at it, says the LORD of hosts. And you bring plunder, and the lame, and the sick, and you bring the food offering. Should I accept it from your hand, says the LORD?

mkjv@Malachi:1:14 @ But cursed [be] a deceiver; and there is in his flock a male, yet he vows it, but sacrifices to the LORD a blemished [one]. For I [am] a great king, says the LORD of hosts, and My name [is] feared among the nations.

mkjv@Malachi:2:1 @ And now, O priests, this command is for you.

mkjv@Malachi:2:2 @ If you will not hear, and if you will not set [it] on your heart to give glory to My name, says the LORD of hosts, then I will send a curse upon you, and I will curse your blessings. And indeed I have cursed it, because you do not set [it] on [your] heart.

mkjv@Malachi:2:3 @ Behold, I [am] rebuking your seed; and I will spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your appointed feasts. And one shall lift you up to it.

mkjv@Malachi:2:4 @ And you shall know that I have sent this command to you, to be My covenant with Levi, says the LORD of hosts.

mkjv@Malachi:2:5 @ My covenant with him was life and peace, and I gave them to him [for] fear; and he feared Me, and he is awed before My name.

mkjv@Malachi:2:6 @ The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found in his lips. He walked with Me in peace and uprightness, and turned away many from iniquity.

mkjv@Malachi:2:7 @ For the priest's lips should guard knowledge, and they should seek the law at his mouth; for he is the messenger of the LORD of hosts.

mkjv@Malachi:2:8 @ But you have turned out of the way; you have caused many to stumble at the law. You have corrupted the covenant of Levi, says the LORD of hosts.

mkjv@Malachi:2:9 @ Therefore I have also made you despised and low before all the people, just as you have not kept My ways but [are] lifting up faces in the law.

mkjv@Malachi:2:10 @ Is there not one Father to us all? Has not one God created us? Why do we act deceitfully, each man with his brother, to profane the covenant of our fathers.

mkjv@Malachi:2:11 @ Judah has dealt treacherously, and an abomination is committed in Israel and in Jerusalem. For Judah has profaned the holy [place] of the LORD, which He loves, and [has] married the daughter of a foreign god.

mkjv@Malachi:2:12 @ The LORD will cut off from the tents of Jacob the man who does it; stirring and answering; or offering a food offering to the LORD of hosts.

mkjv@Malachi:2:13 @ And this [is] a second [thing] you have done, covering the altar of the LORD [with] tears, weeping, and groaning, yet not facing toward the food offering, and taking it [with] delight from your hand.

mkjv@Malachi:2:14 @ Yet you say, Why? Because the LORD has been witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have dealt treacherously; yet she [is] your companion and your covenant wife.

mkjv@Malachi:2:15 @ And did He not make [you] one? Yet the vestige of the Spirit [is in] him. And what [of] the one? He was seeking a godly seed. Then guard your spirit, and do not act treacherously with the wife of your youth.

mkjv@Malachi:2:16 @ The LORD, the God of Israel, says He hates sending away; and to cover [with] violence on his garment, says the LORD of hosts. Then guard your spirit, and do not act treacherously.

mkjv@Malachi:2:17 @ You have wearied the LORD with your words. Yet you say, In what have we wearied Him? When you say, Every evildoer [is] good in the eyes of the LORD, and He delights in them; or, Where [is] the God of justice?

mkjv@Malachi:3:1 @ Behold, I will send My messenger, and He will clear the way before Me. And the LORD, whom you seek, shall suddenly come to His temple, even the Angel of the Covenant, in whom you delight. Behold, He comes, says the LORD of hosts.
